Ulie Granite Boulder Published By The Students Of GRANITE FALLS HIGH Granite Falls, North Carolina one man m Jiis iime How true that all the world is a stage ! Here at Granite Falls High School we have played many parts freshman, sophomore, junior, sen- ior, scholar, athlete, clown, friend, mate. Some of our performances here have been commendable while others not so praise-worthy but all our roles have provided us richly and rewardingly with knowledge to have and use; memories to bless and burn; friends to love and trust. The curtain will presently fall to end the play that began, for some of us, in 1959. No one will deny this was a hit; but now let us preview the current cast and play itself presenting Srani ' e Jaffs Jliqn ma us manu par. ■ s . . .

It was the month that brought together here at Granite Falls High School many stu- dents .... those who were as green as emerald, others who realized this September 1961 was the last as students at G. F. H. S. We can remember many things .... our first grid game . . . . the disappointment that came with some of those games; the joy that came with others. Study? At times it was evident! Our sins finally caught up with us: Exams! Soo£ or memor Spring came and so did the fever: To some, Love (was) a many splendored thing; to others, The tender trap; while some got that Band of Gold. Seniors began to count the days . . . .Final exams .... Senior Chapel . . . . Baccalaureate Service and Commencement . . . . the days dwindled down to a precious few .... and then good- byes were said .... It was four years of happy times .... Memories are made of this . . e DEDICA TION Our librarian, Mrs. Helen C. Walker is ever willing to render service and at all times has the best interests of our school at heart.

Starnes Principal Lenoir Rhyne College Here at Granite Falls High School we have been partners in the thrilling enterprise of learning how to live completely. We could not have done this without the untiring guid- ance of our principal, Mr. Starnes. He is always eager to help you with any problem that may arise and is willing to understand your difficul- ties. Because of his deep abiding devotion and loyal service through the many years we would sincerely like to thank him. Mrs. Glenn Cooke Secretary to Principal Bristol Commercial College Mrs. Cooke is a new addition this year but she is a much needed and appreciated one. She has been a great help to Mr. Starnes with the work that has to be done in the office. We thank her for her work in con- tributing to the school. 10 Miss Ruth Cox Home Economics Queens College Mr. M.

It is true one cannot study the sun with saucy looks .... But if one is to know the truth, then study must be a diligent deep-searching. In our role of student, we have studied the past, analyzed the present, and are ready to launch out into the future with our knowledge . May our know- ledge always be the truth. saacy fooj s . . . 15 BEST-ALL-AROUND There can be nothing added to this title to explain it. Because of their being able to do almost any- thing that is put before them Carolyn and Mack have been chosen as the BEST- ALL- AROUND Senior boy and girl. Carolyn Barlow and Mack Keller SUPER MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED We feel sure that Elaine and Bobby will fill their place well in life. Their wonderful ability and determination have helped them thus far and we know they will help them in later life. Karan Beane and Hugh Annas LA TI VES CUTEST In looks, manners, and per- sonality, Karen and Hugh are the CUTEST. Not only are they cute but they are also cheerful in everything they do. Audrey Marshall and Roger Jones NEATEST Audrey and Roger have acquired a worthwhile habit. When they dress, they dress so that they will be pleas- ing in the sight of their friends. Everyone should follow their prac- tice by caring how other people see them. I ROW 1: Carol Lee Church, Danny Wayne Church, Virginia Mae Church, Sandra Milligan Clouse.

They do not have to worry about friends because they are liked by everyone who comes in contact with them. Judy Looper and Mack Keller S UPER Carolyn Barlow and Spencer Poovey MOST DEPENDABLE Carolyn and Spencer are always ready to help with anything they can. They do the work assigned to them without complaining. Because of this trait they were chosen MOST DE- PENDABLE. BEST LOOKING To acquire this title one is not just nice looking on the outside, but has traits that go deeper. Your actions make you nice looking to other people.

We found this spirit here at Granite High on the grid- iron, on the basketball court, and on the baseball field. It radiates from all games. When we lost this spirit we lost the sport, but when we found it we won not a prize, for we were playing for the love of sports. Miss Peggy Brooks A well-known face around Granite Falls High is that of Miss Brooks. She is a grad- uate of Lenoir Rhyne College. Since Miss Brooks has been teaching in Granite Falls High, she has had a genuine interest in the students. She is sponsor of the Freshman class, J.V.

Their over-all record was four wins and six losses. The first game of the season was with FredT. Foard, a conference team. The Demons were able to pull out a victory by some good offensive play. Everyone was looking for a winning season, but then came the hard blow. The Demons were knocked off by Bandys by the score of 6-7. The next game was with Hildebran, and the Demons were hoping to redeem themselves, but they failed again, losing 8-13. After the loss to Hildebran, the Demons worked hard for their game against highly rated Maiden. It was in this game that the Demons made their best showing of the year, but they lost by the score of 6-12. With the load of three losses and one win, the Demons went into their next game against St. Stephens with their heads hanging low. The Indians were very fired up and trounced the Demons 26-0. Although the Demons were entering the game against Rock Springs with a 1-4 record, they were favored to win and did just that by a score of 41-6. This was the first time the Demons were able to really play ball. Their surge of power was short, however, for their next op- ponent, Gamewell, upset them by a score of 6-7. This put the Demons back deep in the hole. As the Demons got ready for the favored Charlotte Catholic team, they were disheartened. Everyone was surprised when the Demons turned in a good performance. This increased their slim win column to 3 games against 5 defeats. The next team the Demons were to meet was the Hudson Hornets. The granite team was fired up for this game and almost took a win over the 3A team, losing 20-26. As the last game of the season came, the Demons were determined not to go down in defeat. The demons ' opponent was Bunker Hill. The Demons were the underdog, but they managed to take an easy 19-0 victory. The season was finished with a record of 4 wins and 6 losses.
