The feeling of joy at the outcome of an election, school spirit at an athletic contest, and the fulfillment on Graduation day each mark a high point in the school year. Each of these feelings is- mani¬ fested by a special event at H.H.S. And it is these events that are featured in the 1960 Laureate. Each subscriber now owns a treasurer that can never be replaced. 5 3 % 3 3 V 3 r r k? % c r d ? ? r A C f A O A ? r A $ r A ' A? ' A W 4 W A r C w r d C r i Page Fou Faculty Tea December 14, 1959.

Searching.for strength Seeking.character We find.Mrs. Croft humbly we dedicate this the thirteenth edi¬ tion of the Laureate to Mrs. Croft, our Friend, our Example, and our Guide. Her sincere ap¬ praisals, and her constant interest endear her always not only to H.H.S. but to each of us. To you, Mrs. Croft, we are indebted for so beautifully exemplifying the spirit of our school. WE HONOR AS DIRECTOR OF GUIDANCE SERVICES, Mrs. Eliza¬ beth Price co-ordinated the work of the guidance pro¬ gram. She worked with the administration, the faculty, the students, and the parents to provide information, counseling, placement, and follow-up service for fresh¬ men, sophomores, and juniors. As counselor to seniors, Mrs. Westmoreland advised concerning college selection and career choice. She also acted as sponsor of the Senior Class. In addition Mrs. Price and Mrs. Westmoreland supervised College En¬ trance Examination Board tests in the Hendersonville area. MRS. ELIZABETH PRICE Counselor for Freshmen Sophomores and Juniors MRS. CHICORA WESTMORELAND Counselor for Seniors ; 1 Two Counselors Divide Guidance Duties. Mrs. Price counsels sophomore Vicky Livingston. Mrs. Westmoreland helps Billie Jean Snyder with an application. Page Eight Guiding the Hendersonville School system or even the operation of the high school is no small task. The Hendersonville School Board, the superintendent, and Hendersonville High ' s Principal and counselors per¬ form their duties with skill gained from training and experience. Administrators found paths worn to their offices by students requesting aid. Teachers expound¬ ed their knowledge for five periods a day, and spend many extra hours in extra curricular activities of many elements that make up a school. The faculty, though often the least appreciated, is certainly the most valuable. FACULTY I believe we must teach subjects, courses, and skills. I also believe in instruction that will awaken the imagination for the stimu¬ lation of nobler emotions. No man is better than he wants to be, and it is my sincere desire to help create an educational system that will instill in every student a motivating force that will lead him to the pinnacle of success—mentally, spiritually and physically.

HENDERSONVILLE CITY SCHOOL BOARD TO THE FACULTY AND STUDENT BODY The fine spirit of cooperation and help¬ fulness that characterizes this school make me proud when I can tell other people that I am principal. This same spirit makes me sure that this school will achieve high goals and its students go on to render great ser¬ vice and win coveted awards. Let us all keep in mind that we ' represent our school everywhere we go in everything we do and say. Let ' s keep its standard high and its reputation good so we can be proud to say we are a part of H.H.S. R, Hugh Lockaby EXPERTS IN THE OFFICE Ask Mrs. Fisher in the office. These directions were given every day to students and teachers who sought information about the workings of the school. Always Mrs. Fisher answered questions cheerfully, no matter how busy she might be with office work. Mrs. Fisher, please make a transcript of my re¬ cord. This request was made by many seniors during the year, and Mrs. Pat Fisher assisted the students in completing and getting their transcripts mailed on time. PERFORM VARIED TASKS MRS.

Hendersonville High School has ten depart¬ ments: English, Foreign Language, Mathematics, Music, Social Studies, Business, Industrial Arts, Physi¬ cal Education, Agriculture, and Home Economics. Twenty-five instructors offer hard-to-obtain know¬ ledge; an interesting adventure in various fields of study. Although a student needs to spend only four periods a day in class to complete graduation re¬ quirements, many ambitious ones pursue five subjects. Students are thankful for educational opportunities offered to them at H.H.S. Reporting on an English novel in Mrs. Westmoreland ' s senior English class is Carol Todd. Spanish pronunciation records are a help to John Ol¬ son and Nenon Merrill in Mrs. Good ' s Spanish class. Barbara Story lists the outstanding characteristics of an individual in Mrs. Price ' s Psychology class. Through courses in typing, shorthand, and book¬ keeping, the business education department prepares students to secure business positions. Approximately 175 students availed themselves of the opportunities offered in these classes. A large number of these students chose typing as preparation for college or personal use. Classroom Work Sharpens Mind Joyce Massey helps Judy Norwood fit her dress in sewing class. Oh no, Wormsl Oh yes, and grasshoppers and frogs and fish, too. Biology students acquire knowledge through the pains of dissection. Page Seventeen mmm |: .

These future homemakers learned to cook for their families and to plan and make many use¬ ful garments. Their study of family life and child development called attention to the importance of happy marriage and parenthood. The instructional program placed em¬ phasis on health, food and nutrition, clothing, working co-operatively in groups, as well as the techniques of housekeeping. These courses helped the student to meet the actualities of every¬ day life and become trained for solving future problems. Shop Classes prepare boys for home workshop or industrial jobs. Industrial arts classes at H. H. S. offer a variety of experiences for boys interested in practical courses. Mechanical drawing classes provided training in de¬ tail drawings, house plans and blue prints. In metal work the boys learn many useful techniques, and the vocational courses offered in the Junior and Senior years, gave students an opportunity for part-time work experiences. All these experiences helped the students to solve construction problems and to achieve skill with their hands. They gained an industrial and mathematical vocabulary, secured valuable consumer information and paved the way for future vocations. Page Nineteen State J.H.A. Convention, September 26, 1959.

We hope in our hearts that the time will be short Till we ' re hearing again from you. In the years that ensue, Give some thought to His plan: To give others their due And to love fellow man. We cannot foretell what the Future may bring— Whether love, or heartaches or sorrow— But as long as the old bell continues to ring Many mem ' ries will be there to borrow. With these things in mind, We bid you farewell And fade from the halls as a song; With smiles in our hearts And tears in our eyes We bid you goodbye And are gone . . .

JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Earnest Wilson, President; Pam Waters, Secretary; Billy Orr, Treasurer; Charles Myers, Vice-President. Time has gone by so very slowly—but it hurts to think of having only one more year at H.H.S. To think that in only a few fleeting months we will be seniors! We will be faced with the responsibility of all the things we have looked forward to: priority. Senior privi¬ leges, and—finally—Graduation It ' s hard to turn from our Junior year, for it is filled with bitter-sweet memories of term papers, extra¬ curricular activities and sports, the Junior- Senior and Mrs. Croft. This was a year of good times and bad, friends lost and won—a year we can ' t possibly forget. It will remain in the hearts of the Class of 1961 long after graduation.

SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS During our Freshman year we had to be¬ come acquainted with changing classes and teachers, meeting new friends, and with find¬ ing our way around H.H.S. Now that we are Sophomores, we are ac¬ customed to the routine of high school. We are familiar with places and faces. How can we possibly forget Julius Caesar and our career papers? Half-way up young ambition ' s ladder, we are on our way to two more years of work and play, and then graduation as the Seniors of 1962.

FRESHMAN OFFICERS In September of 1959 we came to Hender¬ sonville High School. Then, we were only 144 in number, and Freshman by name. Our first thought was, So at last we ' re in high school! We were a little confused then, but finally we felt at home. We look back over the year, and it is only a memory—a bitter-sweet, fun-filled year we can never possibly forget. We shall always recall the patience shown by faculty and friends, and all the respon¬ sibilities we have endeavored to bear. All the smiles and greetings we ' ve exchanged, the fun, the friendships, the heartaches and the knowledge will remain with us through the following years until we are Seniors-the class of ' 64.

CHEERLEADERS KEEP SPIRIT SOARING Hendersonville High ' s program of competetive sports presented a picture of practical balance be¬ tween victories and defeat. Autumn Friday nights found students and fans in the stadium cheering, and waving the Bearcats on. Basketball in the gymnasium dur¬ ing the winter months drew large crowds. Baseball captured the highlights during the spring sea¬ son. Through the efforts of the cheer¬ leaders, the cheering section be¬ came noiser and more spirited with each contest. With a record of 6 wins, 1 tie, and 3 losses, the Bearcats experi¬ enced a rather successful season victory-wise. However the football boys provided plenty of exciting action those Friday nights. There were a few n ear misses, when the fans said, If we ' d only . . . . An unsurpassed knowledge of the game ... an energetic and optomistic spirit . . . and a deep love for clean sportsmanship and ambitious players—these characterize the Coaching Staff of H.H.S. MR.

Added to our program has been wrestling, weightlifting, golf and tennis. Our object is to give boys who are not physically able to make our major sports an op¬ portunity to excel in these activities. Intramurals have been highly successful as part of our program. Basketball, Volleyball and Bad¬ minton, were very successful and student participa¬ tion excellent. I feel the success of our program is due to a larger staff which makes it possible to include more sports in our program. We hope participation will continue to grow in all of our endeavors. I would like to thank our fine student body for their cooperation, our staff; Miss Hensley, Coach Allen, Coach Cline and Coach Pardue, all teachers and administrators for their excellent cooperation.

At home games and at out-of-town games the ten girls, headed by Lindsay Raiford, led the students and helped the fans to boost the team to victory. Besides their unfailing support at all games, the cheerleaders conducted pep rallies, organized bus trips for out-of-town games, decorated the goal posts and sponsored and organized the Homecoming festivities.
