Standing, left to right: Mr. Hugh Randall, Superintendent; Mr. George Wing, HI; Mr. Cyrus Livingston. 23 The best means of forming a manly, virtuous, and happy people will be found in the right education of youth, and without this foundation every other means must fail. The common school is the greatest discov¬ ery ever made by man; therefore, may it be expanded to its capabilities. And may we never forget the primary objective of our school system is to give every child a free, straight, solid pathway by which he can walk directly up from the ignorance of an infant to a knowledge of the primary duties of a man. Hugh D. Randall Mr. Hugh D. Randall Superintendant ADMINISTRATION Mrs. Ruby Brookshire Secretary to Mr. Randall 24 Through the years the LAUREATE has come to be recognized as one of the finest yearbooks that a school our size produces. All of us should certainly be proud of the high standards of our school as examplified in this publication. I heartily congratulate the LAUREATE staff and sponsor for the fine job done in presenting the 1961 LAUREATE. ADMINISTRATION Mr. R. Hugh Lockaby Principal Mrs. Johnson, secretary to Mr. Lockaby, has become a great help and friend to all students. 25 Mrs. Chicora Westmoreland, counselor for seniors, talks with Mrs. Elizabeth Price, counselor for freshmen, sophomores and juniors.

The representatives include homeroom representatives, members- at large, officers, and the department heads. The Student Council has been very active this year. With the help of the Social Committee, the Student Council sponsored two social events, a new student ' s party in September and a Christmas Dance in December. In November a new Committee, the Pep Board, was established to help promote school spirit. The captain of the cheerleaders was appointed chairman. In December the Student Council sponsored a Leadership Clinic. Officers of all clubs, people who were interested, and potential leaders participated in the Clinic, which lasted from 3:30 one afternoon until 9:00 at night with supper in the cafeteria. The Clinic was considered a large success. A school store, which contains pennants, stationery, sweat shirts, pom-poms, and stickers was begun. With the establishment of the International Relations Committee, a foreign exchange student was brought to H. H. S. this year. Among the other projects were the assembly programs, Red White day, and elections.

While being a training ground for students who are interested in journalism or busi¬ ness, it also offers students an opportunity to assume responsibilities. To print that which is in good taste and is beneficial to the school and its members is the paper ' s policy. The Red and White has maintained a first-place rating from Columbia Scholastic Press Association. It is also a member of the North Carolina Scholastic Press institute and the Western North Carolina Ed¬ itors Roundtable. In addition to publishing eight issues every year, the Red and White staff sponsors the homecoming queen contest and assists in the homecoming cere¬ monies, sponsors a clinic for prospective staff members who serve an apprenticeship, and ex¬ changes papers with some thirty high schools and colleges in the United States. Each Year ' s work is climaxed by a publications dinner in conjunction with the Laureate staff, at which Red and White letters are awarded to staff members who have excelled in fulfilling their re¬ sponsibilities.

To those who have labored long and hard on the 1961 edition of the LAUREATE, it is much more than just a publication. It represents a great deal of planning, effort, and satisfaction when the work was finally completed. We think that the LAUREATE will also be more than just a publication to you, the student body. It has been our untiring goal to present to you an accurate account of the activities of this past school year; an account which you will be able to look back upon and cherish with fond memories in the years to come. Don Barber, commercial photographer for the LAUREATE made it possible for us to cover many events with pictures. Ann Hyder, as well as the rest of the staff, was buried in LAUREATE work. Loren Brown is one of the winners of the magazine drive. Our staff was represented, among many others, in the Homecoming parade. 85 The purpose of the H.H.S.

Betty Jo Davis Vice President.Wilma Kilpatrick Treasurer.Alice Strider President.Bonnie Smith Dear Friends: Thank you for your packages of Used Greeting Cards received this week. These will bring great happiness to the children of Formosa, and to those who are ill. We will have a Bible verse printed in Chinese character on each one before they are given out, so that they carry God ' s message too. We believe that these bright cards bring an unspoken message from the land across the seas to the people here which tells of the love and unselfishness of those who took time to send them. Little children running home from Sunday School with a bright card in hand and happiness in their hearts are part of the result. The leper patients and the aboriginal patients receive them too, and it cheers them. Always with the gay greeting card is also the love of God printed in Chinese for all who can read. We thank you for having a share in this happy part of our work. In His Name we thank you and in the name of the humble people who will receive them. Yours in His service, Activities Chairman, Ann Clark; Program Chairman, Penny Turner. Mrs. Marie Shipp Sponsor Treasurer . . President . . Secretary . . Vice President Officers .Barbara Cunningham .Kathy Morgan .Sue Misenheimer . Linda Jenkins One of the best means of developing interest in the school library is the organ¬ ization of student library assistants. Members of the student body are less skeptical of their fellow students than they are of faculty members. An enthusiastic group of library helpers will do much to sell the library ideas. Aside from the routine work of desk duty, the student library training offers a wide field of specialized instruction in creative and individual laboratory duty. Better understanding of library services is an outcome of student help.

Carolyn Lamb Secretary.Carol McAdams Vice-President.Judy Thuston Mrs. Lucille Allen Sponsor Future Teachers of America, affiliated with the National Education Association and sponsored by the NEA Commission on Teacher Education and Profession¬ al Standards, sets nine goals for high school clubs. They include (1) interesting good students in becoming teachers, (2) exploring the teaching field and determin¬ ing the opportunities and areas of the profession, (3) pro¬ viding opportunities to work with children so that mem¬ bers may realize potential satisfaction in teaching, (4) cultivating qualities of leadership, character, and schol¬ arship among students, (5) understanding the value of education in American society, and (6) rendering ser¬ vice to the school and community. The David L. Swain Club has sponsored and con¬ tributed to worthy community projects, observed A- merican Education Week by conducting a survey on Getting the Most out of School , sent representatives to the state convention, provided guides and monitors for the P.T.A. Open House, entertained members of the P.T.A. Council, who have indicated a desire to assist the F.T.A. Club, observed in the classrooms of the city system for first-hand knowledge of teaching experience, and participated in a field trip to a teacher training institution. Requirements for membership are a scholarship average of C or better and recommendation for mem¬ bership by three teachers on the basis of these qualities: industry, responsibility, seriousness of purpose, inter¬ est in vocational guidance, and worthy citizenship.

Leadership was evident after we lost a few early in the season and then continued to improve with every game. It is an easy matter to lead a group when you are winning, infact, it doesn ' ttake leadershipat all because you really don ' t have any problems. Lose a couple and all of the small problems suddenly become major ones, it is here that leadership is really evident. Our society is so today that you have to win and little sympathy goes to the loser, this is why leadership and the right type is so important to a loser. It is not as hard to smile when everything is going your way, but then put yourself in the loser ' s place and see if you have any thing to smile about. Athletics in reality is very much the American way of life. As in life, the players are faced with challenges and they have an opportunity to match skills, strength, poise and determination against each other. The par¬ ticipants learn to cooperate, associate, depend upon, and work with other people. They have a great oppor¬ tunity to learn that if they are willing to work, strive harder when tired, look people in the eye, and rise to the occasion when opportunity presents itself, they can leave the game with strong self-assurance, which is so vitally important in all phases of life. At the same time they are developing these priceless characteristics, they get to play and enjoy fellowship with the finest grade and quality of present day American youth. These in my opinion are the qualities that our leaders last year possessed. Norman Messeroll The Hendersonville High Bearcats opened their 1960 football season with a victory over the Enka Jets. In their second season game, a non-conference clash with Brevard, the Bearcats were trounced by a team that was later to become the state champion. However, the Red- and-White was able to shake off the loss by downing the Owen Warhorses 13 to 6. BILL KEY Ht. 6 ' 2 Wt. 200 lb. EDDIE McGRAW Ht. 5 ' 7 Wt. 165 lb.

In a muddy melee the Bearcats were able to eke out seven points a- gainst the future state champions, but dropped the game 7-26.
