Sfirougfi (jfiese Doors Through these doors we find ourselves in familiar surroundings. As we lookback over the year and years spent here, we recall many happy memories. I Ve Snte r A World Work and play are a part of our world. Dixie Hendrix, Carol Sue Shelton and Ruth Mayhew find lunch a good time to study. 5haf 9s Uniquely Our Oum... 3 Geometry may be hard but it is interesting- - ask Gaynell Taylor. This is proof that Mack Johnson, Donald Davis, Bobby Gay, Mervin Cothran, Barney Shelhorse and Nancy Adkins do work. We sneaked in on them. (The place: Senior homeroom. The subject: Senior English. The discussion: tests.) Bobby Hedrick, Leroy Davis, Ray Hershman, Charlie Myers, and John Custer are hoping that the test won ' t be too hard. 4 A Wor d a Offers Us Special projects challenge and make interesting classroom work in the grades. Claude V. Swanson, Jr. is making a model of the Holy City. This is a familiar scene-- Billy Martin working on a poster. This time its for Homecoming Queen. Thanksgiving was celebrated in Mrs. Hunt ' s Fifth Grade. The students portraying the life of the Pilgrims are Linda Compton, Brenda Pickeral, Pat Yeatts, Linda Pickeral and Paulette Frazier. An Opportunity 3o r Scholastic Attainment , 5 The Student Council offers an opportunity for growth through leadership. Patsy Gay, president, and Mr. McKeel, sponsor, study the projects sug- gested by the Council. Carol Sue Shelton and Bobby Hedrick plan a Christmas bulletin board, while Jewel Roark puts finishing touches on a Madonna scene. 6 Qvowtfi Z firougfi £caaersfiip, Dixie Knautz and Nell Shelton, sophomores, conduct devotionals for the P.T.A. Paul David and Charlie Myers conduct a Monday morning devotional service over the inter-communications system for the Hi-Y. During basketball season David Farmer, Wayne Gibson, Bobby Hedrick, Ben Worley and Marshall Cocke (not pictured) conduct devotionals written by athletes. William Burton places a Student Council sign in the gymnasium. And Development Of Cftrisfian Character. 7 Wayne Gibson and Carroll Dalton have selected subjects in high school which will prepare them for college. Solid Geometry presents interesting problems. Pat Yeatts and Tom Swanson are calling our attention to Bookweek. The reading of good books offers a wonder- ful opportunity to learn. Shorthand requires a lot of studying - so Helen Mays, Gladys Arthur, Doris Farris and Carol Ann Davidson would have us believe. 8 Our Served 3or Knowledge The Beta Club float was the first place winner in the Homecoming Pa- rade. The members were quite proud of their ideas and the success they ac- complished in assembling their float. The Hi-Tones consisting of Naomi Nunn, Peggy Eanes and Susan Sandefur, all seniors, have their own radio pro- gram over WMNA. i,J Kg i At a recent meeting of the F.H.A., a skit modeled after Queen for a Day”, was presented by members of the chapter. Patsy Bayliss, re- presenting the perfect homemaker, was crowned Queen. 9s A Searcfi 3o r Success 9 Good sportsmanship is stressed in all athletic contests. Dr. G. A. Weimer is presenting Wayne Gibson with the Junior Chamber of Commerce trophy. The Cheerleaders realize that they, too, have to practice good sportsmanship. These are the football cheer- leaders: Marcella Frazier, Helen Moore, Sue Franklin, Ruth Mayhew, Judy Short, Joan Hughes, Inez Gibson and Caroline Atkinson. Qrowing tohru Better Sportsmanship 10 ' i A Wayne Eanes is experiencing difficulty in finding his helmet. Even the dressing room is overcrowded. Win or lose, someone has to clean up after a game. Manag- ers, John Custer and Charlie Myers find Monday a good washday for uniforms. Sxpevieneing Victory And Defeat , 1 1 The Majorettes are not always satisfied -- here they are planning a new maneuver. The Grades enjoyed Halloween Parties -- prizes were given winners for costumes. Leroy Davis is trying on a gown, while Bobby Hedrick dons the cap and shuts his eyes to dream. $oys And Disappointments... 12 Whether its cleaning up after the Football Banquet, as Barbara Kepley, Carol Sue Shelton and Gaynell Taylor are doing, or serving refreshments at a dance, as Ruth Mayhew and Caroline Atkinson are doing, or painting scenery for the Senior play (Ray Hershman), the students enjoy taking part in activities. Participating On Social Activities 13 The Gretna Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y joint- ly sponsored a Spring Dance. Jeanette Robertson, Queen and Dick Ramsey, King will remember the event with pleasure. lUiffi Delightful Moments 14 The Homemaking classes are interested in Christmas de- corations made by Mrs. Cummins--they ' re wondering how many they can make. May Day, with Connie Vaughan as Queen, offered fun and en- joyment for all.

From the time we enter school as First Graders, until we graduate, we learn from associat- ing with others. As classmates we share class discussions, activities, athletics, our problems and our joys --all will be cherished memories in our World of Tomorrow. Leaders are essential in all walks of life. The students elect their class officers as well as club officers. Elected to lead their classes are (seated) Jimmy Dalton, Juniors; Patsy Gay, Seniors; Jewel Roark, Sophomores: Standing are Earline Dalton, Eighth Graders and Roanld McKinney, Freshmen.

Chssword I i t i v ji Tantalizing odors from the Home Economics department, the sound of music drifting in the windows, the ex- planation of a difficult geometry prob- lem, the clicking of the typewriters keys, an English composition, a heated discussion on politics in govern- ment- -all these and many more ex- periences make for our educational growth for a better World of To- morrow. The grades are merely a means of re- cording progress. Nancy Adkins, Patsy Moore, Cecile Shelton, and Karen Gibson are quite pleased with their report cards. Assuming responsibility is in itself educational. The Home Economics girls are responsible for planning and arranging their bulletin board. Emily Myers, Betty Dalton and Faye Brumfield are suggesting to the girls to Get on the Ball. ! 72 Joan Compton and Dexter Amos were chosen to diagram this sentence and explain it to the class as a reward for having com- pleted their assignment creditably. Gnglisfi Classes Off A knowledge of English is essential for success in other fields of learning. To com- municate, whether oral or written, is a ne- cessity in life. The manner in which one does this determines his achievements to a great extent. Skills in grammar, clear thinking, composition, and appreciation for good read- ing habits are a part of the varied activities of the English department. Students are required to read from a selected list, books on which they will report. A record of books reported on while in school are kept in each students permanent record. Melvin Weeks is choosing one from the Ninth Grade list. Naomi Talbott, Senior, and Katherine Moorefield, Junior, findthe Library a use- ful place, particularly when there is a theme to write which requires references. er draining 9n Basic Skills There are sixteen sections of English, one of speech and four of Library Science in the high school. Speeches, panel dis- cussions, and parliamentary procedure are a part of English utilized in club activities. Four units of English are re- quired by the State Board of Education for graduation. Spelling and word meaning are stressed in all English classes. Students have their own dictionaries but when they encounter more diffi- cult words they find Webster ' s Unabridged Diction- ary in the Library quite a help. Maybe Margie McMinnis and Joyce Vun Cannon are looking up polymethylolpnenol. Sandra Shields, Doris Walker, Billy Martin, and Frank Robertson are practicing correct posture. They plan to make a speech and this will be essential. 75 TT Social S cience eacHes Citizenship r I I j I I A knowledge of the past, an understanding of the problems con- fronting civilization today, a clearer picture of our physical world, an appreciation for and understanding of our own governments, and a study of current events make social science classes vital and stimulating. We learn from the past in order to pre- pare for the future. Janet Haskins is in- terested in a Civil War pistol, while Mar- cella Frazier looks at Confederate money and a copy of McGuffey ' s Reader. Rebecca Dalton and Clarice David- son are studying world problems in Current Events. Here they are trying to pinpoint the place being discussed. The Eighth Grade boys find Cur- rent Events quite interesting. Roy Adams, Christine Crawley, Lynwood Taylor, Larry Scruggs and Danny Compton are interested in space travel. 76 Commercial Classes Prepare Students 3or Business The Commercial Department prepares students who wish to work after graduation, or it offers a sound foundation for those interested in further commercial training. Class- es are offered in general business, consumer mathematics, shorthand and typing. Students planning to at- tend college quite frequently take typing to improve the quality of their themes. Shorthand will help these girls to be better stenographers. Lois Hamlett and Joan Davis find that it requires concentration. Judy Taylor and Frank Robertson are absorbed in typing a routine exer- cise. The Typing class prepares for a speed test. They have learned both accuracy and speed are necessary to be an efficient typist. Maffi And Science Prepare Students Mathematics is the foundation of all science. In this space age, with experimentations being made to conquer outer space, a know- ledge of mathematics is essential. Those planning to work after graduation from high school find the arithmetic, as well as the busi- ness mathematics helpful. Stimu- lating the thinking process is one of the aims of higher mathematics. To prepare students for college we offer three years in algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry and tri- gonometry. Carrol Dalton, Paul David, Wayne Gibson, and David Farmer are interested in dimensions necessary to make a model trihederal angle. Paul David and Carroll Dalton find the third dimension in solid geometry makes more interesting geometrical figures. Ronald McKinney was concentrating on his Algebra I equation. When we called his name he was quite surprised. T ' JO Sa£c 3fieir Pi a ce 9n A Scientific World To meet the demands for more emphasis on science in our present day, classes are offered in general science, biology, chemistry and physics. The teachers are handi- capped in their teaching by inade- quate space for laboratory work. With the constant development of new scientific projects, the science students have to be on the alert. In biology Patsy Yeatts and Curtis Grubbs find studying organisms through the microscope most helpful. In Eighth Grade general science classes, experiments are sometimes conducted in the classroom. Mittie Lou Ed- munds is explaining the neutralization of a base with an acid. Vickie Doss finds something quite interesting! Mr. McKeever teaches chemistry and phy- sics. Here he is explaining chemical formulas to the class. Vocational Home Sconomics And Agriculture Practical experience in home- making is the main objective of the home economics classes. Tantilizing odors, smart clothes, home planning and decorating, interesting dis- cussions on good grooming, study of child care and home nursing are all associated with our idea of home eco- nomics. We feel sure the girls who have taken homemaking will be well prepared for the future. Learning to repair electrical cords proved quite interest- ing for the students. Mr. Elwood Blackwell, electrical engi- neer for Mecklenburg Electric Coop., gave demonstrations and assisted the girls in repair work. At Christmas Patricia Updike enjoyed making candy with Mrs. Mann ' s assistance. We like candy too. The girls, Margie McMinnis, Peggy Eanes, Naomi Nunn, and Myrna Crider are working on their float for Homecoming. Mrs. Mann is making some suggestions. 80 jive Pracfica draining And Gxperience Vocational Agriculture teaches he farm boy scientific farming, how o repair farm machinery, and how to lse to a better advantage the tools or and that he does have. The boys get sractical experience by carrying out special projects each year. These are supervised by the teacher. Joe Motley is preparing to parti- cipate in the tractor driving contest. The winner entered the county con- test. This and other contests are sponsored by the F.F.A. Federation. In shop the boys learn to build useful farm items. Billy Robertson is sanding the ends of a wall rack. Ray Hershman in his spare time is cleaning an old table which he plans to refinish. Ray is taking his fourth year of vocational agriculture. He is president of the F.F.A. 81 Music And Pdy sical duc2ition Round Those who enjoy music have an oppor- tunity to participate in music appreciation and choral selections or the band. Both of these carry credit towards graduation. Glee Club is offered as an extra- curricula activity. The Gretna Band enjoys playing for parades, football games and at concerts. There are three sections of band, with the beginners and intermediates forming a junior band. 82 Out our School Program Physical Education is required through he Sophomore class. Formal exercises, james and health are all a part of the dasses. Learning good health habits and milding stronger bodies makes our edu- :ational program well-rounded. The Sophomore boys are enjoying a friendly game of basketball. Jackie Hodges and Mervin Cothran, centers, are waiting for Mr. Moon to start the game. We caught the girl ' s class taking ex- ercises. This should make for better health. Patsy Moore, Dolly Dawson, and Mildred Osborne are waiting their turn on free throws with the basketball. 83 Activities In a well rounded school, class- room and extra-curricular activities contribute to the total learning pro- cess. Training in leadership and learning the importance of co-oper- ation are essential factors in edu- cation. Our organizations, thru their programs, service to others, and re- creational activities add lessons from experience for our World of To- morrow. Mrs. Petros G. Cocke, on behalf of The American Heritage Foundation, pre- sented the school a recording of The Star Spangled Banner. Patsy Gay, president of the Student Council, accepted it for the school. The program was heard through- out school over the inter- communication system. Getting out The Parrot requires time and work. Mrs. Lois Pendergrass, sponsor, is assisting part of the staff in arranging this edition. Those helping are Patsy Gay, Evonne Creasy, Gladys Arthur, Billy Robertson, and Naomi Talbott. 84 Student Council Gx presses Students 9de as The Student Council is an elective body. Representatives are elected from each class. The Council has as its main ob- jective , helping to improve the school. Here we see the mem- bers discussing a project.

The experience derived from their work and the association with good literature is educational.

Each year something new has been added to make it more interesting. This year we are proud of our new look for our cover -we hope you like it. In keep- ing with the policy to stress academic work, we are proud of our pages showing some of our class work. Planning, raising money, taking pictures, typing, identifying pictures, laying out our Dummy and many more tedious tasks are our problems. We hope the finished product gives you as much pleasure to look at and read, as we have had in preparing it. Barbara Kepley, Associate Editor, and Carol Sue Shelton, Associate Business Manager, learn the details of planning an annual from Patsy Gay and Ruth Mayhew, Co-Editors and Susan Sandefur, Business Manager . Bill Love, Kay Crews and Caroline Atkinson have the responsibility of the activities section and identi- fication of all group pictures. Here they are dividing up the work and we may truly call them the Activities Editors. Selling the annuals proved an easy chore for Peggy Eanes, Sales Manager , and Sandra Shields, Associate Sales Manager . We had to re-order. Selling advertisement for the annual is a most im- portant assignment. We appreciate the co-operation we receive from the merchants. The Junction has always paid for itself and we set out to hold that record. Paul David, Dixie Hendrix, Ben Worley, Katherine Moore- field, Linda Graham and Judy Mattox are off to a good start. 3o Preserve Memories 3or tomorrow Row 1.

Athletics Athletics play an important part in education by developing character, school spirit, teamwork, and physical fitness. The chilly excitement at a football game, the yells of the cheerleaders, the thud of the basketball, and the crack of the baseball bat, each speaks of a contest in progress. Win or lose, the important part of the game is how the team has conducted itself. Good sportsmanship will be an important factor for our World of Tomorrow. We all love football at G.H.S. The Majorettes help to make the half-time at football games more interesting by their performances. We see Susan Sandefur and Linda Kepley complimenting Jimmy Dalton on a game well played. Managers John Custer, Ronald McKinney and Steve Mann had their hands full taking care of equip- ment and attending to the wants of the players. 108 rmsss tete ksSssS (gridiron Season Proved Gougfi Row 1: Ray Hershman, Kenneth Dalton, Wayne Gibson, Jimmy Dalton, Leroy Davis, Sammy Pickeral, David Farmer, Ben Worley, Bobby Hed- rick, Billy Turnbull, Row 2: Mr. Moon, William Burton, Wayne Picker- al, Mike Dellis, Jackie Hodges, Woodson Toney, Mack Johnson, Stanley Shields, Edward Trent, Carl Sisk, Mr. McKeever.

Dalton made the touchdown on apass from Gibson, but the extra point lost the game. Burnette scored on a pass from Gibson in the Altavista game, however Altavista won 14-7. Homecoming was made perfect by the team winning 19-13 against Nelson County. Burnette made all 3 touchdowns on runs. Am- herst won 20-7 with Dalton making Gretna ' s only score. Appo- mattox really gave Gretna a beating, 46-14. Turnbull and Dal- ton both scored for Gretna. Good sportsmanship was evidenced in all the games. Again we say, Gretna had a good year.

We have tried to capture high lights from most of these. It is withpleasure that we record the scholastic attain- ment and the honors won by members of the Senior Class. Whether it ' s planning a banquet, taking part in the Senior Play, decorating for a dance, narrating for the Fashion Show, or building a float, all contribute toward our education for our World of To- morrow. Peggy Eane sand Joe Shields were elected Wittiest members of the Senior class. For those of you who don ' t know Peggy and Joe, maybe this picture will give you an idea why they were chosen. Our Cheerleaders take their work - and it is work - seriously.

Hail, The Hunkering Hero was presented by the Senior Class on Friday night, November 21. Miss Elizabeth Orr directed the play. Prompters were Joe Shields and Charlie Myers. Dixie Hendrix was responsible for make-up. We caught her applying the finishing touch to Bobby Hedrick before the show began. Peggy Eanes, Maand Billy Robertson, Pa made typical hillbillies. Hail, (5fte Hunk ering Hero Our cheerleaders surprised even themselves- - imagine our Quietest Senior as a Cheerleader! Ruth Mayhew, a city girl, seems to be enjoying Ma Snorkle, Peggy Eanes. The girls, Kitty Shelton and Susan Sande- fur seem to be getting no-where with the Hero, David Farmer. Incidentally the Hero ' s expression is anything but enthusastic. Ma ' s costume is the newest fashion. Kitty and Billy Martin are showing Susan and Franklin Taylor some fast steps. Scenes Seniors in H Worthy Of We got the wrong expression on the cheerleaders- - this is a serious moment. Patsy Gay has fainted-- Mattie Payne and Rose Farmer are carrying her out. We all got tickled. Franklin Taylor, doctor, and Arlie Saunders, coach, have our sympathy --quite a team! Jeanette Robertson with Pa, and Sue Franklin with Ma seem to be having their troubles also. 134 Remembering 3rom (5neir PI !) Charlie Myers, as Dr. Klunk who heads the college which our hero attends, seems to be at a loss with his students . Wayne Gibson ' s play by play description of the football game was quite realistic. The hero has packed his bag, ready to leave home to go back to college. The team doesn’t seem to be enjoying their medicine--they won 35 to 34. 135 ( 5He Cong Awaited Moments fine Ring Vince And On March 6th the Juniors c el eb rated the arrival of their rings with a dance. The gymna- sium was colorfully decorated with aqua and white streamers.

Mary Lou McDaniel and Melvin Perkins presented each other with their ring. Patsy Gay, Wayne Gibson, Dick Graybill and Kay Crews, all Juniors, enjoy refreshments during intermission. Joan Davis and Neville Rowland enj oy the dance following the ring ceremony. Refreshments were served by Junior room-mothers during in- termission. Me Junior-Senior Banquet ’ ' Rendezvous With the Stars was the theme of the Junior-Senior Banquet and dance. Decorations centered around the moon and stars. Dick Graybill, president of the Junior class who is seated in front of the moon, gave the address of welcome. On his left is Lowell Farmer, president of the Senior Class who gave the response. The High Tones, Jeanette Robertson, Peggy Eanes, Naomi Nunn, and Susan Sandefur entertained with musical selections. Ruth Mayhew and Bobby Hedrick presented humorous gifts to each senior.

The parade began to form back of the school at two o ' clock. At three o ' clock the parade led by the majorettes, Hawkettes and Band left the school. There were fifteen floats, including the Queen ' s Float which climaxed the parade. The weather was ideal for a parade. Beta CluS The Beta Club was winner of the first place prize with a colorful, as well as an educational float. The United States flag in color was the center of interest, with Bill Love as Uncle Sam standing near. The club ' s emblem and motto, Achievement, Character and Leadership , adorned the float. The members are to be congratu- lated. Camera CluS The Camera Clubs honored Dr. Ram sey and the medical profession with thei float. They were second place winners.

PIEDMONT TRI-HI- Y The Tri-Hi-Y motto clean speech, clean sports- manship, clean scholarship and clean living was shown by this float. VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club buried the Nelson County team in great optimism. Varsity Club mem- bers served as pallbearers. They were a happy group when Gretna did defeat Nelson County. SCIENCE CLUBS The Eighth Grade Science Clubs were quite modern with their float. We see they Have Rocket Will Travel. GLEE CLUB Brenda Bolling and Ronald McKinney, in robes, ride the Glee Club float surrounded by musical notes.
