Hawkins Mr. James R. Hawkins has been principal of Harry P. Harding High School since 1935, when the school first opened its doors. Since then, the size of Harding has dou¬ bled and the campus has changed location. Throughout these years of growth and change, Mr. Hawkins has con¬ tinued to be a molding force in the history of our school. Coming from Ohio, Mr. Hawkins taught in Mount Airy, North Carolina, and later in Salisbury. He began his ca¬ reer in Charlotte at Central High School, where he was a teacher and Dean of Boys. In 1935 he became principal of Harding. While at Harding, Mr. Hawkins has held various posi¬ tions in organizations on both the state and national level. He had the honor of being the second high school princi¬ pal to be the president of the Southern Association of Col¬ leges and Secondary Schools. He is a member of the Na¬ tional Merit Board and has been recognized as an out¬ standing alumnus of the University of Ohio. Mr. Hawkins’ quiet manner of authority and sense of fair play have earned for him both the respect of students and the loyalty of his faculty. Having the courage of his convictions and a high moral character, he is a truly professional educator. Mr. Hawkins is a serious-minded but witty person who is known for his jokes and stories. We at Harding are very proud of Mr. Hawkins and feel fortunate to have him as our principal. 8 Mr. James R Hawkins Mr. and Mrs. James R. Hawkins MS Mrs. Myrtis Mackey Dr. A.

Snow! 1967 Our Spirit The Tams Matmen are Champions Student Council Governs School Democratically All the students have a chance to voice their opinions and participate in school activities by working on the Student Council. Our theme this year was Harding—A Namesake Worthy of the Name.” The Student Council is made up of two main bodies. The Executive Council consists of twenty- three students. The members include the four student body officers, the standing committee chairmen, and the three grade presidents. The other main body is the homeroom represen¬ tatives. The Student Council publishes the school newspaper and encourages the honor system. It sponsors Cuties ' n’ Capers as its money-making project. All these activities aim at making Hard¬ ing a namesake worthy of the name. The biggest dance in Harding’s history was sponsored by this year’s Student Council. The Tams, a popular singing group, appeared at Harding on March 3 I. The dance was a tremen¬ dous success! V Executive Council —Row U Phylis Anderson, Debbie Chappell. Sherri Me- Donna Robertson.

Strictly, high school ath¬ letics are those activities which are participated in outside the regular school activities. These sports are to develop to the utmost a person’s physical abilities. In a broader sense, athletics are the building blocks of life. In athletics, as in life, a person must learn to play the game with all his heart, soul, and strength, and, if he fails after all this, he must learn to accept defeat with honor. He must learn that life is not all sugar and cream. He must learn to take the breaks as they come. Athletics build confident, proud men who will be able to move through life as easily as through an athletic contest. Jerry Jackson goes over (left) and Rick Douglas goes around. 62 Strong Bodies and Strong Minds. Competition is what every one gets a thrill from. People have something inside them which makes them want to prove their ability, both to themselves and to others. Teen-agers, of course, have the competitive spirit, too. They like to be first and they will suffer pain and broken bones on a football field, starvation during wrestling season, bruises on the basketball court, and pulled muscles on the track. The people who en¬ dure these hardships uphold a vital part of school life, the high school athletics. Track men jog the cross country. Mike Cook records another wrestling victory.

Rated by the papers as being one of the top pre-season choices, the Rams let many expectant fans down. Starting the season off right was an I 8-6 victory over an improved West Mecklenburg squad. After being sur¬ prised by a hustling Indian offense and allowing a first quarter ' six-pointer, the Rams settled down to a well- balanced running attack. In the second quarter, junior full¬ back Boyce Cole and halfback Emanuel Ross both scored from inside the five yard line. Jerry Jackson added the final score in the fourth quarter. Fine defensive play by captain Frank Thornhill, Danny Hostetler, and Craig Strat¬ ton held the Indians to only one first down per half. The Catholic team proved to be a tough opponent as the score was 0-0 at half time. Boyce Cole scored in the third quarter to put the Rams ahead 6-0. But a hard Catholic drive made the score 7-6. On the first play from scrimmage following the kick-off Randy Cook, the first- string quarterback was caught behind the line and his col¬ lar bone was broken. He was lost for the remainder of the season. An untimely pass interception by a Catholic de¬ fender set the final score at I 3-6 in favor of Catholic. Donna Adams gives a yell for Harding High. Fullback Cole gets a sip of water as he watches the defensive team go to work. A play begins as fullback Boyce Cole takes a handoff. Halfback Doug DeShields begins a trip toward paydirt. 66 Football Team Has Low Season. Our next two games were disastrous for the Rams. Gas¬ tonia Ashley romped over Harding by the score of 51-14. A strong second half was not enough to overcome a 42 point half-time deficit and the Rams fell to North Mecklen¬ burg 42 - 14. Trying hard to come back after three straight defeats. Harding scored 20 points in the first half against South Mecklenburg. Two of Harding’s t.d.’s came on passes by Jackie Green, one to halfback Jerry Jackson and the other to split-end Kenneth Reid. The third was added when de¬ fensive end Doug McGee pounced on a fumble in the South end zone. Johnny Ferguson added two extra points but the defense couldn’t hold. The Sabres scored 2 1 points to beat the dejected Rams, 21-20. In a close, exciting game at Memorial Stadium, Harding battled to a 14-13 win over West Charlotte. Emanuel Ross scored first for the Rams, and Doug DeShields put the second six-pointer on the score board with an elec¬ trifying 70-plus yard punt return. West Charlotte scored twice in the second half, but tackle Frank Thornhill saved the game by blocking the second extra point attempt. He paid dearly for his heroics. He broke his arm and missed the remainder of the season. Looking like anything but a football team, the Rams went into the dressing room at half time of the Myers Park game with a 27-7 deficit. They gained spirit during the mid-game pause and closed the score to 27-2 I but could not catch up. The final score was Myers Park 41, Harding 28. Harding scorers were Ross, Jackson, and De- Shields. who returned a punt 7 5 yards. Phil DeBerry kicked all four extra points. Harding’s homecoming was a joyous one. The golden Rams rode the Hunter Huss Huskies to a 21-6 victory. Jerry Jackson scored first, followed by Ross, and De- Shields. The East Eagles proved tougher than the Huskies. Hard¬ ing started off well with two quick scores by Cole and Greene. One of DeBerry’s extra point attempts was blocked. The final score was 26-13. A fired up Ram squad took the field against the Garin- ger Wildcats, who were undefeated in conference play. It was a defensive game all the way and the teams went into the second half tied 7-7. The Rams stayed in the battle for 2 I minutes of the second half, but a strong Garinger line opened a hole at the Ram 3-yard line and a fleet Gar¬ inger back found the end zone. Cole scored the lone Harding touchdown and Phil DeBerry kicked the extra point, bringing his total for the year to 14 attempts and 13 points after. The final score was 14-7. Ram Cagers Have Spirited Team At the beginning c f the season, the varsity basketball team looked enthusiastic and ready to end the streak of losing Harding teams. Braced with returning players Jim Gadd. Steve Kendrick. Craig Francis, Randy Cook, and Mike Williams, and filled with players from last year’s championship junior varsity team, the Ram cagers built up a highly-spirited team. An improved Southwestern 4-A Conference put a damper on the high hopes of the drib¬ bling Rams. At the half-way point of the season, Harding’s basketball team had a 3-7 record, having defeated only Olympic, South Mecklenburg, and Independence. The var¬ sity club next year should have a much better season with regulars James Houston, Doug DeShields, Bobby Utley, and Rick The Bruise” Douglas returning. The team gets ready to go. Cheerleaders keep spirits up at the Myers Park. Guard Randy Cook watches the ball get away.

The next year it was third, and the following year it was second. It seems only right that the 1966-67 Harding High School wrestling team won all of its con¬ ference matches to produce a conference championship. The Harding matmen chose as their tri-captains two state cham¬ pions. Billy Farnsworth and Dickie Bryant, and a returning regu¬ lar. William Murphy. The Rams, scheduling all conference matches at the first of the season, breezed through matches with Hunter Huss, West, East, South, and North and reached the high point of the season in defeating Myers Park on the home mats, 27-19. Harding then clobbered Garinger to finish a 7-0 conference season. Joe Walker gets set to go in the district tourna- Mike Cook meets his opponent before the men t. Myers Park match.

(right) Captains of the 1966-67 wres¬ tling team were William Murphy and state champions Dickie Bryant and Billy Fransworth, pictured with Coach Claude Savage. During most of the season, the matches were decided by the lower weight wrestlers. In the Myers Park match, however, the match was left on the shoulders of the up¬ per weight wrestlers. Joe Walker came through with a timely pin as Harding’s grapplers cinched the champi¬ onship. It was the first time in the Southwestern 4A Con¬ ference wrestling history that Myers Park had been bumped out of first place. If all goes well, next year’s team will be as good as, or better than, this year’s. Returning next year will be regu¬ lars Ronnie Conder, Mike Cook, Jimmy Strickland, Ed Chandler, Johnnie Stilwell, and Dennis Lisenby. Seniors who graduate from Harding and the team will leave spaces in the line-up to be tried for by a host of aspiring junior varsity wrestlers. 73 Wrestlers in State Tourney Several Harding wrestlers made it to the state tournament in Winston-Salem this year. They were Billy Farnsworth, Dickie Bryant, Ronnie Conder, Freddie Huntley, Mike Cook, William Murphy, Jimmy Strickland, Ed Chandler, and Frank Thornhill. Billy Farnsworth and Dickie Bryant were defending state champions and William Murphy was a Western District champion. Baseball Team Looks Toward Good Year The baseball team will be looking forward to a good season this year. The new coach. Bill Craw¬ ford, will have practically all of last year’s starting infield returning and will have experi¬ enced boys to fill the outfield spots. Returning players are captain Jimmy Gadd, Randy Cook, Jackie Greene, Rick Douglas, Jerry Jackson, Johnny Goins, Mike Williams, and Buddy Furr. The only position that may be weak is pitcher. If pitchers Tommy House, Tommy Keerber, and Ronnie Twitty can come through. Coach Craw¬ ford may produce a championship team in his first year as coach.

Returning are Craig Francis, Rick Hames, Dell Jackson, Alan Hickok, Butch Stone, Billy Morris, and Johnny Ferguson. Miss Bell hopes to build around these lettermen to produce another of her excellent racket teams at Harding. Members of the team began attack¬ ing the nets in early February and worked out on their own before regular season practice be¬ gan. Coach Savage will begin work with a young, inexperienced golf team this spring. After losing most of his best golfers on graduation day last year, he will begin to rebuild his team. His only two returning golfers will probably be Phil Rob¬ inson and Charles Patterson. TENNIS TEAM: Myron Alderman. Robbie Robinson. Alan Hickok, Jimmy Clinkscales. John Whitaker. Butch Stone.

Cross-country is a sport which gives boys who are not members of the football team a chance to participate in fall athletics. The run¬ ners must be able to endure races of lengths varying from 1.9 to 2.5 miles. Needless to say, cross-country demands desire, strength, and stamina from its participants. The Harding track team was given a change in its coaching staff this year. Athletic director Dave Harris took over the reins with Coach Bud Jennings assisting. The team, with returnees Gary Stratton, Herbert Tesh, and many newcom¬ ers are expecting a much better season than last year. The fleet Rams began practicing in Febru¬ ary for their first meet on March I Oth. 77 classes The Senior Class: 1967 In Memoriam Terry Moore Senior Class Officers: Randy Cook, President; Buddy Furr, Vice-Presi¬ dent; Vickie Jackson, Secretary James B. Pyatt, Advisor; Paulette Bush, Treasurer. As graduation drew our high school careers to a close, we seniors realized the importance of the many experi¬ ences—good and bad—that we have had at Harding High. The experience of adjusting to high school campus life as sophomores helped us grow and mature as individuals as well as members of our class and school. New friends, new teachers, new subjects and activities—all these opened before us a wider and richer world. Next, as juniors, our lives were enriched even more with broader interests and activities. Working together on the Junior-Senior Prom, Cuties n’ Capers, and the Talent Show, we grew closer as a class in anticipation of the Se¬ nior year. As seniors, we finally knew what it was like to be on top. Every moment was woven with excitement as the prom and Maroon and Gold Day fulfilled many hopes and goals. During the ordeal of taking three-hour tests and applying for colleges and jobs, our class became aware of an even broader world than as sophomores. We graduating seniors will have even greater adjust¬ ments to make as everything becomes new once again. Yet though each of us goes his separate way, we will for¬ ever hold memories of Harding High dear to our hearts. 80 Donna Elizabeth Adams Larry Dean Adcock Betty Ann Aderholdt Carol Jeanette Adkins Theresa Dianne Aldridge Lawrence Alexander Gale Teresa Allen Phylis Louise Anderson Ttrst Row., Cynthia Ann Austin, Cheryl Diane Aycoth, Barbara Jean Bailey, Kenneth Ow¬ ens Beaty, Ann Betty Bentley.

We found that high school education involves give and take.” We gave our time, our energies, and our ideas to worthwhile student activities. Now we are beginning to receive the benefits of hard work. In doing this, we are preparing for our future. Our class accounted for more than half of Coach Har¬ ris ' football squad, including such stars as Dan Hostetler, David Martin. Roger Moser. Mike Yancey, and Bruce Hag¬ er. Our basketball team was led to a successful season by Juniors Rick Douglas. James Houston, Roger Moser. Boyce Cole, and Bobby Utley. Mike Cook, Ed Chandler, Ronnie Conder. and Jimmy Strickland were juniors who sweated long and hard to be on the Harding grappling team. Coach Crawford found his baseball team in fine shape with a pitching staff made up of Tommy House, Ron Twitty, Tom Koerber, and Jack Greene. Harding trackmen included Eddie Cobb, David Martin, and Joey Craft. The Junior Class selected Sandra Kassin as its beauty. Juniors Mary Page, Debbie Chappell, and Charlene Ship- man cheered our teams to victory as varsity cheerleaders. Marsha Hannah, Kathy Smith, Shellie Davis, Nancy Mc¬ Cray, Cindy Pringle, and Mary Keating were chosen letter- girls. All of the flag carriers were junior girls: Nancy Mc¬ Daniel, Freedith Smith, Sherry Goins, Dae Toll, and Kay Brownlee. We have had many great experiences this year: Cuties ’n’ Capers, the Talent Show, and the highlight of the year —the Junior-Senior Prom, but we all know our greatest ex¬ perience is yet to come—Seniorship at Harding High.

Puzzled because the upperclassmen seemed to find it quite easy to spot a sophomore, we now realized that only sophomores enter the wrong doors and w r alk the A building hall three times in search of “B-l ”. Yet somehow we found the wav to become a real part of Harding High School. Some of us played in the band or orches¬ tra. others joined various clubs or councils, and still others joined in athletic activities. At Christ¬ mas we decorated our school with true spirit and later we worked diligently to produce a good skit for Cuties n’ Capers. Probably most meaningful, and surely never to be forgotten, were the new friendships. Now, too, we realize more than ever our purpose in being here. We find in our teachers a true desire to instill in us knowledge and inspiration, both so important to our future. We look forward to returning to Harding next year as Juniors. Could it be that we just can’t wait to spot the poor, forlorn, helplessly lost tenth-grader and say, “Why, there’s a punky sophomore! ”??

Steve Wynn 127 advertisem ents THE BRIDGE BUILDER An old man traveling a lone highway, Came at the evening cold and gray, To a chasm vast and deep and wide. Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim, The sullen stream held no fears for him ; But he turned when safe on the other side. And builded a bridge to span the tide. Old man,” cried a fellow pilgrim near, You’re wasting your time in building here. Your journey will end with the closing day : You never again will pass this way. You have crossed the chasm deep and wide. Why build you this bridge at even-tide?” The builder lifted his old gray head: Good friend, in the path I have come, he said, There followeth after me today A youth whose feet must pass this way. This stream which has been as naught to me. To that fair-haired youth may pitfall be : He, too, must cross in the twilight dim— Good friend, I am building this bridge for him.” —Will Allen Dromgoole Best Wishes, PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION 130 For Over 72 Years . . .
