Franklinton High School - Franoca Yearbook (Franklinton, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1969 volume:

. $ F.H.S. today . . . moving, driving . . . setting its own pace, yet a pace shaped by traditions of the past, influences of the present, and demands of the future. Cars are faster, music is louder, courses are tougher, competition is keener. We conform to this flow of life; yet underneath we simmer and seethe, ready to boil over. Filled with excitement, fired with enthusiasm and energy, we react individually to . . . the Vibrating Beat of Now! Franoca ’69 Franklinton High School Franklinton, North Carolina Volume XVIII 2 3 Pressure Beat Becomes Intense For Today’s Youth The test that must be studied for; the two points needed to win in the final four seconds of the game; the nervous breath taken before opening the letter marked “Department of Admissions”; that last, red-faced, or winded lap around the track. All of these are a part of it—the push, the urge. Can 1 make it? Will this be good enough? The pressure beat—that is what we call it. That unseen something that says “One step further—just one more.” It is the personality of today—a many-faceted gem, personified by every event that touches our lives. From hour to hour, from day to day, from year to year . . . the beat of change is molding, shaping, from each now a bold and challenging to¬ morrow. New fashions enter the scene. Songs, dances, ex¬ pressions come in a flash and leave as quickly as they came. Old rules must be adapted to fit modern situations; new sub¬ jects are taught; more advanced teaching methods are em¬ ployed. The pressure of change-keep up or be left be- hind—is felt deeply by all. With each second that sweeps by, the changing beat flings out to today’s youth a unique and exciting challenge: the future. 6 Changing Beat Alters The Pulse Of Life 7 Special Events School ... an explosion of events, bursting with excitement. There are places to go, responsi¬ bilities to face, deadlines to meet. From the thrilling first kickoff on homecoming night to the poignant last moments of graduation, the days are filled with hopes, fears, frustrations, joys, and disappointments. There is something about being a part of it—part of that whirlwind schol life—that makes every day of every season somehow special. 8 Activities Highlight School Life Throughout Year High School Begins First Year As Fully Integrated Unit After three months of latent existence, F.H.S. welcomed ap¬ proximately 850 students Au¬ gust 27 with major changes -a fully integrated high school, a merged library, and an activity period. As in other years, Prin¬ cipal Jackson outlined sched¬ ules and rules, and teachers previewed courses. Juniors and seniors soon elected officers, and everywhere students and faculty were adjusting to the special pace of F.H.S. 1969. 10 Principal Wesley Jackson uses the overhead projector in opening day assembly to explain the day’s schedule. To start off the first day of school, students meet their teachers. Here Mrs. Jane Wilder greets her class. f Juniors start off the year by electing officers. President Juliet Daniels’ name has been omit¬ ted from the list. Mrs. Blount arranges the books on the shelves in an effort to combine the two libraries into a workable unit. 11 Winning Night Enhanced Homecoming was an exciting event at F.H.S. The Rams scored a thrilling 45-0 victory over the Elm City Bears. The night held special enchantment for Donna Harris, the newly-crowned Homecoming Queen. Runners-up Brenda Fogg, Linda Kingsberry, Joan Blackley, Shanna Moore, and eleven other candidates completed Donna’s court. The magic of “Cinderella” drifted over all as they danced to the music of Louisburg’s Ex-i-tations. 12 by “Cinderella” Magic Bess Green Wins Cindy Ball, 1st runner up, and Bess Green, Miss Franoca, share their winning joy. It was difficult to tell who was really more excited, the contestants or the audience. 14 Miss Franoca Title Bess Green received her crown and flowers from Mr. Jackson and Pam Radford, ’68 Queen. Mr. Jackson called the girls forward to turn and pose for the judges—a beautiful sight. Mr. Jackson and the audience found Annette Ball’s answer to one of her questions amusing. Mrs. W. W. Holding, Mr. Rebius Frison, and Mrs. Wilbur Jolly found judging the contest quite a job. Judges with concerned faces, girls with nervous hands trying to place stray hairs, and an audience filled with tension were all parts of the exciting night of the crowning of a new Miss Franoca. From the 18 most photogenic girls of Franklin- ton High School, junior Bess Green was selected queen. The finalists were fresh¬ man Cindy Ball, first runner-up; freshman Richie Whitfield, second runner-up; senior Annette Ball, third runner-up; and freshman Hope Beckham, fourth runner- up. 15 Franklinton Fans See Rams Win Two in Franklinton’s Foster Brodie jumps against opponent for tip-off in one of four Doubleheader games. 16 Holiday Doubleheader High school basketball in its finest form was on display in the Franklinton Holiday Doubleheader December 27 and 28. Four teams clashed head-on in two tough nights of battle as only Franklinton escaped unbeaten. Franklinton stopped Garner “B” in its first game, and thrashed Bunn the fol¬ lowing night. Youngsville upended Bunn in the first battle of the Doubleheader, but fell to rampaging Garner “B” in an overtime the second night of action. Much of the event’s glamor and pagentry was lost from the lack of attendance, but local fans witnessed an exciting brand of basketball synonymous to this area. Hope Beckham, Gayle Bobbitt and cheerleader mascot Sherry O’Neal show off new formations. 17 Getting ready for a Jr.-Sr. Prom equals one half of the fun and three-fourths of the work for junior class members. Shanna Moore, chairman of the prom decorations committee, relaxes and enjoys the fruits of her labor. “A fountain, a real fountain!” was one of the exclamations heard as surprised seniors and worn out juniors began their evening at the Cafe de Paree. The Parisien atmosphere was completed by a towering Arc de Triomphe, side walk cafes, and the Eiffel Tower. Music was provided by Frankie and the Damons as the juniors presented what was thought by many to be the most out¬ standing junior-senior prom in recent years. 18 1 Junior-Senior Prom Draws Largest Attendance Ever Chester Davis, President of the senior class, and Juliet Daniels, President of the junior class, participate in the cake cutting ceremony. 19 Marshals for graduation were Chief, A1 Thompson, Dr. Donald Moore, counseling psychologist, presented his five Karen Colbert, Cindi Dement, Leesa Harris, and Gary points for daily living to graduation audience. Dement. Cheryl Alston, salutatorian, welcomed families and friends of the senior class to the ’69 graduation. Salutatorian Hope Medlin welcomed the faculty, the administration, and the Board of Education to com¬ mencement. 20 Dr. Donald Moore Delivers Commencement Address “All Praise to Thee,” special music for the commencement exercises, was rendered by the F.H.S. Glee Club. Valedictorian Annette Ball was presented the Balfour Award for an outstanding high school career. C o mmencement pro¬ vided individual recogni¬ tion as well as group rec¬ ognition. Reverend Don Lee Harris delivered the Baccalaureate sermon, and Dr. Donald Moore spoke at graduation. Highest se¬ nior honors went to Vale¬ dictorian Annette Ball and Salutatorians Hope Medlin and Cheryl Alston. The Balfour Award, given by the high school faculty, was presented by Superin¬ tendent R. B. Gordon to Annette Ball. Juniors with the best averages were marshals. 21 For seniors, the changing of the tassels to denote high school graduation was a highlight of the 1969 exercises. 22 F.H.S. Graduates Largest Senior Class Ever At the Baccalaureate ser¬ mon on May 25 and at gradua¬ tion on May 30, 74 seniors formally ended their high school education. Speakers re¬ minded seniors of the impor¬ tance of these events. Near the close of graduation, diplomas were awarded, and seniors changed their tassels. Follow¬ ing Annette Ball’s valedictory, the class of ’69 marched out for the last time—the same but different; happy but sad; afraid, yet determined to meet the future. As she received her long-awaited diploma, Deborah Moore felt the melancholy excitement of the moment. Seniors were greeted by friends as they marched down the aisle and out of the auditorium for the last time. Annette Ball ended her valedictory with the seniors’ one plea, “Don’t forsake us; please have faith in us!” 23 Sports The beat . . . pounding on a gym floor, sailing over a goalpost, soaring in¬ to the outfield, digging in¬ to a dirt track. A throb¬ bing, surging frenzy, in¬ fecting with the urgency of success. Students feel the pressure for victory; cheering the team . . . hoping against hope. This is sports . . . the beat of excitement at F.H.S. 24 ‘Yelling Together’ Sparks Unity in Student Body 25 26 Injuries Plague Football Season Enthusiastic cheerleaders urge the team to victory. Football cheerleaders are C. Bracknell, S. Green, C. Ball, co-chief B. Wilder, S. Wilder, chief S. Moore, D. Satterwhite, S. Burke, and mascot S. O’Neal. Injuries proved to be the key to a disappointing football season for the Rams. Many injuries which crippled out¬ standing performers in early August foreshadowed a tough season. Inexper¬ ienced players fought for positions, and established players were reshuffled to fill vacancies. Throughout the early sea¬ son, the game but battered Rams absorbed heartbreaking defeats. Offen¬ sive mistakes proved too costly for the Rams’ stubborn defense to overcome. Some games were near upsets; others were disastrous. However, the Rams im¬ proved as the season wore on and un¬ leashed a powerful attack in their Homecoming contest to thrash Elm City 45-0. A thrilling Homecoming victory, highlighting a dismal 1-8 season, indicated the team’s steady improve¬ ment and determination to win. 27 Strenuous exercises build strength and stamina as players prepare for Friday night action. Rams Earn District Tourney Berth The 1968-69 basketball season yielded a long record of accomplishments for the Rams, and a few heartbreaks. In conference standings, the Rams racked up eight victories with only two losses to tie with Youngsville for the conference championship, thus earning a trip to Rocky Mount to compete in the district class A tournament. This was the Rams first trip to Rocky Mount since 1961. Although the Rams defeated the Vance County Cougars twice during regular season play, the Cougars proved to be more than up to the tournament game and downed the unwilling Rams. Much of the team’s success this year was due to the added strength on the bench. Having competent sub¬ stitutes to replace tired starters enabled the team to play fast-moving basketball. This abil¬ ity to break-and-go was certainly a key factor backing the Rams’ success. Speed and agility thrust Haywood Lawrence ahead of the pack to lead fast break down the court. 28 Mac Beckham, Ram guard and a leading scorer, sees an opportunity, leaps and fires at the basket. Outstanding defense and rebounding, led by Charles Manson, proved to be two factors in successful Ram season.

Led by co- cap¬ tains Mac Beckham and Foster Brodie, the Rams assembled a tre¬ mendous offensive and defensive unit. Foster Brodie led the talented Rams and was selected to the all¬ conference and the state all-East teams. Other Ram standouts select¬ ed to the all-conference team were Haywood Lawrence, Charles Man- son, and Jessie Fogg. Rams named all-East honorable mention in¬ cluded Spencer Eakes and Hay¬ wood Lawrence. Coach Jimmie O’Neal was named “Coach of the Year” by the Durham Morning Herald. He also received the county trophy as “Coach of the Year.” Mac Beckham and Foster Brodie put the pressure on. The Rams relied on pressure defense to force other teams into making mistakes. Mad scrambles after loose balls characterized Franklinton’s heartbreaking loss to Youngsville in the tournament championship. 31 Howard Eakes receives instructions from Coach Wheeler during a brief timeout. Teammates and opponents watch intently as Franklinton’s Henry Day fires a shot. Many Ram supporters were disap¬ pointed when girls’ basketball was dis¬ continued; their disappointment was short lived as the vacated spot was filled by an impressive J.V. team. Quickness proved to be the key in obtaining their 14-4 record. The team showed great scoring power from the floor, averaging 62.3 points per game, while their de¬ fense allowed opponents only an aver¬ age of 50.6 points per game. Under the backboard the J.V.’s displayed great rebounding strength, thus enabling the team to capitalize on fast breaks, which were the team’s most formidable offen¬ sive weapon. The J.V. closed out its season by capturing the conference title trophy with a victory over Louisburg. M. Perry, H. Day, M. Nicholson, D. Thomp¬ son, W. Brodie, H. Eakes, C. Williamston, D. Beckham, J. Simmons, L. Cheatham, B. Jones, K. Colbert. KNEELING: W. Williams, Coach Wheeler, S. Morton. 32 J.Y.’s Sweep to Conference Crown Position and a long reach make the difference as Howard Eakes lays the ball up. Co-captains Jerry Simmons and Henry Day accept the conference trophy for the Rams. The steal is made and the race is on as the Rams try to get down court first. 33 David Thompson moves down the lane as the Rams set up their offensive pattern. 34 Initially Bright Track Season Ends In Disappointment Outstanding performances by individuals throughout the year sparked F.H.S. to a successful track season. The Rams lost to South Granville and Vaiden Whitley during the regular season, while capturing eight victories. Lettermen and newcomers displayed brilliant form in many events. Henry Day set a school record in the broad jump with a leap of 20’ 814”. Sparkling efforts characterized other events as the Rams excelled in the shot put, discus, high jump and pole vault. Players performed well in the mile, 880 and 440 runs, often winning impres¬ sively. The mile relay team won consistently, stretch¬ ing its winning streak to three years. In the conference meet, F.H.S. relinquished the crow n held for two years. The Rams could manage only three first places and finished third in total points. The season ended with a disappointment, yet Franklinton’s overall excellence shows its track supremacy. 1ST ROW: R. Goodyear, T. Leonard, B. Bennett, H. Day, R. Pergerson, B. Johnson, B. Kearney, R.

Collins, M. Perry, W. Williams, B. Jones, C. Williams, D. Preddy, A. Kearney, J. Simmons, Coach O’Neal. After defeating Bunn and Louisburg, the Rams scored impressive victories over powerful Oxford Orphanage and South Granville, thus valuting F.H.S. into first place in the conference standings before a mid-season slump dropped the Rams from title contention. Though the team won four of its first five games, six straight setbacks killed any title hopes. Greatly improved over the team of a year ago, the Rams relied on alert defense and excellent batting for their victories. The surprising success of the baseball team revitalized the spring sport for Franklinton fans. 36 I % V , v- -4.

Wheels turn, slowly at first, then faster, faster .. . time and effort are quickly spent, yet never giving out. Each day means learning still again that there is so much more to learn. Academics — the heartbeat, the life of F.H.S. 38 F.H.S. Curriculum Broadens To Accommodate More Students Minds and Bodies Combine To Form Well-rounded Students Lifting a container from the storage cabinet, taking out a measured amount and mixing it in proportion to another chemical, or using a scapel to make an incision on the underside of a frog — this is science at F.H.S. Experi¬ ments, demonstrations, field trips, and a chance to apply what is learned are the tools used by the teachers. Science is char¬ acterized by busy stu¬ dents, students who are given a chance to see for themselves that the ma¬ terial put on the black¬ board holds true. With a textbook as a guide, F.H.S. biology students studied the interrelationships of organisms and their environments. “Neck bone’s connected to the collarbone.” Mrs. Julia Carr, health instructor, points out the bone structure of the body. “Forward march!” commanded Mrs. Juba Carr as her ninth grade physical edu cation class went through its marching drills. —--- Junior High and high school girls participated in an intramural sports program which was an outgrowth of physical education. Squads fall in line as the whistle blows and physical education class be¬ gins. Emphasis has been placed this year on the competitive aspects of physical fitness in both girls’ and boys’ P.E. classes. The skills gained in competition proved useful in the boys’ J.V. athletics program and in the girls’ intramural sports. Baseball was one of the sports in which seventh, eighth, and ninth grade boys’ phys¬ ical education classes participated. 41 History and Math Provide Necessary Units for Graduation “Okay class, let’s work this ex¬ ample.” Whether in Mrs. Pruette’s trigonometry class or Mr. Yar¬ brough’s geometry class, the pupils respond with thoughtful scratchings of the head, biting of pencils, and cries of “How do you work this anyway?” This learning-by-doing process has proved effective in help¬ ing students grasp the complexities of math. Algebra I and II students find their study a great aid in solving daily math problems or tak¬ ing standardized tests. Theorem: Board work increases student understanding of mathematics. Mr. Yarbrough emphasizes the importance of correct use of geometric theories. Mrs. Margaret Pruette, algebra and trigonometry teacher, explains the procedure of expanding bino¬ mials. 42 History students keep abreast of current events with weekly newspapers. Mr. Jimmie O’Neal, world history instructor, makes use of large maps to point out locations of historical and current happenings. Lectures are often labeled “dull” and “bor¬ ing,” but history teachers at F.H.S. are trying to re-label them as “fun” and “meaningful.” They are enthusiastic about the arrival of new books, films, charts, and other aids as they strive to bring events or people of the past to the attention of today’s students. Hands up for Thomas Jefferson or John Adams! Donald Davis and A1 Sandling portrayed these two statesmen in a mock election. 43 Assembly begins. Journalism stu¬ dents take notes for use in writing a news story, one task requiring ap¬ plication of rules learned in class. With mechanical skills plus individ¬ ual creativity, students work on layouts, copy, and pictures, at¬ tempting to produce a journalistic¬ ally sound newspaper and year¬ book. Sckurrck! is a familiar sound in F.H.S. French classes as Miss Edith Jackson starts the record for a ques¬ tion-response lesson. Besides work¬ ing with these records as a class, individuals may use them to im- ' prove pronunciation. Putting exer¬ cises on the board clarifies French grammar and adds variety to the class. Journalism students gain practical experience through work on the school newspaper and yearbook. As more and more emphasis is placed on conversational French, this year’s French I class finds records helpful in improving pronunciation. 44 Teachers Place Emphasis On Co mmunication Through the Stanistreet method which promotes creativity, Mrs. Timberlake’s oral English class learns to overcome self-consciousness. Classmates watch as a stu¬ dent takes aim and shoots an imaginary marble into the ring. The idea? It is just a part of the diverse English curriculum de¬ signed to promote individual¬ ism. Through analysis of such literary works as The Pearl students can determine their own ideas. The study of pho¬ netics and grammar makes oral and written expression clearer. To Susan Johnson, hours spent working on a research paper are not tedious. 45 The acquisition of modern classroom equipment makes possible individualized French instruction. “Where are we going today, Mr. Grad?” is the number one question at F.H.S. in Mr. Grad’s I.V. and D.E. classes. He usu¬ ally answers with trips to colleges and local indus¬ tries. These excursions are taken in hopes of answer¬ ing the students’ more im¬ portant questions about vocational plans. Introduction to Vocations previews the promises and demands of careers. Students learn about jobs with films, field trips, and guest speakers. Female farmers? This year for the first time F.H.S. girls have participated in the agriculture program. Girls above studied the propagation of plants. 46 Vocational Education Reveals Career Opportunities Spoons and wrenches changed hands as boys pre¬ pared meals in home eco¬ nomics, while girls tested their mechanical abilities in agriculture. Students al¬ so put down notebooks and pencils, and replaced them with trowel and saw as carpentry and bricklay¬ ing w ere introduced to the curriculum at F.H.S. this year. These tools were put to use when the vocational students assisted the ju¬ niors in preparing for the prom. Carpentry and ag. classes built sturdy frames and bricklaying boys con¬ structed a brick wall. Bricklaying does away with the old gripe. “Teach me something that I can put into use.” Home economics gives students a chance to have a mid-day snack while learning to cook. Cindy Secor, sophomore Home Ec. student, models a fashion with that “little girl look.” 47 Business Teachers Train Students For World of Commerce Fingers racing lightly over typewriter keys, pencils hurriedly taking down shorthand sym¬ bols, and minds ponder¬ ing the figures of math and bookkeeping are all parts of the business de¬ partment of F.H.S. These skills prepare the student for a world of business and home problems. As part of the changing face of Franklinton High School, two full-time business teachers have been employed to meet the needs of a larger and more demanding business department. Even the best of us make mistakes occasionally, but in typing classes that’s the Understatement of 1969 . Mrs. L. A. Thompson, Jr. serves this year as part of the F.H.S. business staff by managing the bookroom. 48 Mrs. Callahan had the right idea to call student attention to shorthand symbols by use of a mobile. Bookkeeping constantly reminds students of the impor¬ tance of accuracy and concentration in their work. 49 People The pounding beat-blurring every¬ one into a single slur of color and motion . . . What, then, makes an indivi¬ dual? A club? Extra activities enable the student to develop and express his own talents and interests, his own separate personality, even amid the dominating beat of today. 50 Clubs Provide Services, Social Activities 51 Honorary and Service Clubs Youngsville was the place, 1 o’clock on March 14, the time, as County Beta Club President, An¬ nette Ball, called the County meeting to order. By electing Sydney Ann Green as County Reporter, F.H.S. Betas proved their interest in club activities. Beta Club Senior Betas received poem books at the May meeting. Pictured above are Mrs. Pruette, Beta Sponsor, and Karen Jones. Beta Club President Annette Ball called for a vote on the 1969-70 slate of Beta officers at the club’s final meeting. 52 Prepare Future Leaders Future teacher Betty Ann Wilder assists an elementary teacher as she reads a story to the first grade class. F.T.A. members also grade papers and monitor classrooms. Seclusion, 48 teens doing their own thing, music and goodies. Sound groovy? The scene was an F.T.A. social for 25 new members held at Lewis Edwards’ cabin. Besides meeting monthl y, members help teachers during free periods. Future Teachers of America 53 Drawing layouts and fitting pictures and copy to them was one task required of yearbook workers. Quill and Scroll It is 11:30 Friday night and F.H.S. fans are return¬ ing from a victorious basketball game. Various year¬ book workers are exceptions, for they have an impend¬ ing deadline and have been struggling with headlining, cropping, and copy fitting since 3:30. These hours are part of an estimated 300 spent outside class. The journalism class, helped by some lower classmen, puts out the Franoca and the Charger. Seventeen juniors and seniors belong to Quill and Scroll, an honorary society for student journalists. Charger Staff Franoca Staff 54 Publications Staffs Unite To Tell F.H.S. Story Photography Club Mary East was responsible for the selling of Franoca advertising space to Allen’s Insurance Agency. Somewhat frustrated, a Photography Club member enters a rejected picture in “File 13,” otherwise known as the trash can. This action follows the taking, developing, enlarging, and printing of the picture. When the product is lifted from its last solution bath and dried, it is judged on contrast, composition, lighting, and appeal, and then goes to the annual staff with pride or to “File 13.” 55 Many pictures for the Franoca and Charger were printed in the darkroom established this year. F.H.A. and F.F.A. Members Work for Improved Future “You’ve come a long way, baby.” Girls at F.H.S. have taken a giant step by invading a once all boys club, F.F.A. The girls have studied propagation of flowers, opening new horizons for future members. They have taken part in club activities by participation on the Parliamentary Procedure Team. Various projects of the club have made it possible to buy new equip¬ ment for the Agriculture Depart¬ ment. Future Farmers assist in the dedication of a dogwood tree donated to the school by the Franklinton Garden Club. Future Farmers of America 56 “Kissin’ don’t last, cookin’ do.” Displayed on Mrs. Mode’s bulletin board, this motto re¬ flects the principles taught to each F.H.A.’er. This year’s club of over 100 members is the largest group of future home¬ makers F.H.S. has ever boasted. During the summer, two members will help initiate the Leadership Conference at St. Andrews College in Laurin- burg. F.H.A. members interested in home beautification found ceramics to be useful and attractive decorations. 4 f m: w Future Homemakers of America Senior Betty Ann Wilder won the Betty Crocker Homemaker award by scoring highest on the standard test. 4 57 Club Members Participate In Ball Games, Concerts “Doughnuts for sale!” The cry echoed through the halls of F.H.S. as the Monogram Club was hard at work on one of their money-making projects. Club members sold dough¬ nuts, sponsored sock hops, and provided drinks at baseball games and track meets to raise money. These projects provided funds for the purchase of school letters, jackets, and sweaters. Profits were also used to alleviate the ex¬ pense of the Monogram Banquet. 58 Monogram Club Glee Club “Up, Up, and Away” describes this year’s glee club. Membership has more than doubled and musical talent has increased with it. This year two concerts were given. The Christmas theme was carried over in the winter program, while a lighter mood was presented in the spring concert. The Glee Club has succeeded in linking the community to students and students to students with delightful programs that speak a common language, music. 59 Annette Ball, Outstanding Senior, Seniors Gladys Allen Cheryl Alston Edward Asycue Brooks Bennett Lloyd Bowers James Bridges Freddie Coats Donna Collines Mike Collins GLADYS ALLEN: Class Secretary 1, 2; Beta Club 4; F.F.A. 4; F.H.A. 4; Choral Club 3; Basketball Statistician 3; Miss Franoca Contestant 4.

Faculty and Administration Administrators Pilot School’s Activities Mr. and Mrs. Gordon handling paperwork, Mr. Gardner preparing for class discussions, Mr. Grad and class on a field trip, all are indicative of the pains taken by the faculty and the admini¬ stration to make school life rewarding. Daily they guide students in both academic and social areas. In one supposedly seven-hour day, teachers are expected to teach, sponsor outside activities, give and grade tests, and handle disciplinary pro¬ blems without ever losing their tempers.

W Teachers teach-a simple summing up of what teachers do. They teach students reading, writing, and arithmetic - easy and umcomplex. Or is it? Students have homework, but so do teachers. Every class involves hours of preparation. One may think that’s not so hard, but consider - what else do teachers teach? They teach students to be better people. They prepare the student for the future, whether it involves sponsoring an activity or filling out college applications. Teachers teach all right! They teach a student about life and then they see him leave to face it. 82 Faculty High School Faculty Channels Student Effort Toward Growth Mrs. Mary Thompson Typing 1, Bookkeeping, Business Math; B.A. degree - St. Augustine’s College, working on M.A. degree at North Carolina College.

These years are ones of adjusting, of beginning to feel independent, of learning to learn. The younger students have their own beat: activities, goals, and achievements . . . pounding loudly, molding each into a special person¬ ality that can one day be a part of the “big” society. 91 Older students may feel that the elementary pupil’s day is dull, but life for this student is full of many activities. He is given duties to perform and learns the importance of responsibility; he is given assignments and realizes the necessity of study; he is given time to relax and appreciates good health; he is allowed to be creative and develops indivi¬ duality—his most important asset. 92 rrrrrr Each Day Brings Its Own Special Thrill 93 Unusual Activities Stir Excitement in Younger Students The special things, the different things make school life for elemen¬ tary students. Looking forward to the “extras” that supplement studying and learning activities, having pictures taken, receiving special reading instruction, keeping the school appearance attractive, and participating in group musical activities add spice and excitement to the school lives of younger F.H.S. students. 95 School Life Offers Variety This, then, is elementary F.H.S.: a world of challenges, fears, and discoveries. New and varied activi¬ ties, changing classes, harder sub¬ jects ... all are a part of it — the drive behind these students. Special people, places, and events make the elementary years especially worth remembering . . . 96 TOP, Elementary Halloween kings and queens: Tommy Honeycutt, Theresa Allen, Donna Ross, Linda Wood, Tommy Preddy, Mark Hagwood, and Randy Pace.

Students Receive Honors 97 Junior Rams Close Season With .500 Record F.H.S. established a J.V. program this year to provide seventh and eighth grade boys an opportunity to participate in organized football. The team was under the direction of Ed¬ ward Wheeler, and its purpose was to prepare young players for high school competition. In the first game of the season, the Junior Rams whipped Wakelon. The team beat Roles- ville and Louisburg and lost to Knightdale, Wake Forest and Millbrook to end the season with a 3-3 record. Junior High Football Team. 98 Hard practice proved its effective¬ ness in a winning football season. Junior Rams Rely On Team Spirit and Hustle To Win Junior High Basketball Team 100 Calisthenics helped develop muscles desired for speed and agility. F.H.S. has initiated ath¬ letic programs into the ju¬ nior high grades, and the basketball effort has proven successful as the junior Rams captured 6 victories out of their 9 game playing season. The young players showed re¬ markable ability as Coach Richard Cobb piloted them through their con¬ tests. The team hit well on its shots from the floor, averaging 37.6 points per game, while their defense allowed their opponents only 28.7 points per game. Coach Richard Cobb watched practice, ready to offer playing hints. Everything waited as the shot went up; then - two for the Rams! 101 Junior High Students Supplement Learning with Projects Eighth Grade Anna Alford Mark Bennett Lu Ann Bragg Clay Cannady Danny Clapton

Many persons would define a teacher as one whose occupation is to instruct. They neglect to mention the duties that accompany this job. The hours of planning, the sleepless nights, the Excedrin headaches, and the responsibilities are not mentioned. But the most unforgivable omission is the word CARE. Elementary teachers don’t regard teaching as strictly an occupation. To them it is an opportunity to help children mold a foundation on which to build. Pictured at the left, Mr. Richard Cobb, eighth grade teacher, and Mrs. Sarah Daniels, second grade teacher, help students build firm foundations.
