To capture such a thing requires both imagination and understanding. The spirit of a class or of a school is many things. . . . It is the fun and laughter prevalent at pep rallies and football games. It is the quiet that one finds in classes. It is the nostalgia connected with Junior- Senior and with seniors receiving their class rings. It is the solemn graduation exercises and the yell given by the rising seniors to denote their new po¬ sition in the school. THE SPIRIT OF 1963 is many things. ... It is the constructive thoughts and actions that we have shared in our classes multiplied hundreds of times over. It is each student, his hopes, wishes, ideals, and dreams. THE SPIRIT OF 1963 is you. 5 tti ycew y ear 73ea ns . . . incf C 7thin 77s Srows 7A Spirit Students work hard and attain honors in various fields. 6 7 asses liOe R ain TICucA rom 7l Routine 8 Our new library adds beauty to H.

Mr. Roy Johnson, Chairman School Board members are a vast company, more than 140,000 strong, united by common hope, by faith in human achievement, by mu¬ tual concern that the doors of opportunity stand open for every child, youth and adult. It is not an easy task. Membership on a Board of Education is not for the faint of heart. Ser¬ vice on the Board of Education is not the kind of thing for which bands parade and play--but it is American to the core. The responsibil¬ ities are large and opportunities for service are unlimited. The successful discharge of all responsi¬ bilities that rest upon the Board of Education is dependent in great measure upon the wis¬ dom of the graduates of its schools.

Livingston. 18 TItem fx. ers Ancf 7icfminisirator.s THE LAUREATE, a book of fond memo¬ ries, serves as a reminder of educational op- poitunities made possible by the adult com¬ munity. It also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to provide these opportunities for future generations. May the inspirations contained herein develop in each of us a desire to serve even better each succeeding gener¬ ation. The real value of this publication cannot be measured in dollars and cents but in terms of the story it tells to others and preserves for those who told it. Hugh D. Randall Mr. Hugh D. Randall Superintendent of City Schools Congratulations to the Laureate Staff It is your privilege to collect, organize, and record the significant incidents and events of life in your school. This has been well done our product, THE LAUREATE, will preserve and reflect the moods and accomplishments of your school for many years to come. The value of your work will increase with the passing of the years. The greatest reward we receive for our study, for our work, and for all expended energies is the realization of a job well done. Iam sure you can be justly proud of your work. C. M. King 19 Mr. C. M. King Director of Instruction Many people receive a new LAUREATE with mixed emotions. For the Seniors it marks the end of a high school career; yet it marks the beginning of a new ad¬ venture for them and p r o m o t i o n s for underclassmen. While the Seniors may be sad with thoughts of leaving, I hope they will look back on four very successful years that will help them to attain a happy and succe ssful life with many fond memories of H.H.S.

The Student Council of H.H.S. is the governing body of our school. Representatives bring to the meetings opinions of the student body. In the meetings each member has an opportunity to express his views and ideas. Among this year ' s projects were the assembly programs, the school social events, Christmas Door Decorating Contest, Career Day, and elections. The Student Council is the training ground for future leadership. It constantly strives to bring out the best in each individual and to aid him to become a more interested, well informed, and active citizen of democracy.

Abie Cox, Mr. Lockaby Sponsor Jim Wadsworth, Jim Hysong, Evans Thibodeau, Bill Drake, Vice President Secretary Treasurer Reporter The 1962-1963 Key Club, a Kiwanis-sponsored service organization, has been one of the most active clubs in the school this year. Several of the projects they have carried out are: distributing programs and selling seats at the Apple Festival parade, sponsoring Homecoming, and providing needy families with food at Christmas and Thanksgiving. Slave Day” was held on December eighth. The entire Key Club membership, consisting of twenty- five boys, raked leaves, washed windows, cleared off three acres of woods on Laurel Park mountain, and slaved over numerous other tasks. The money gained from this project was spent on the erection of a school sign. Highlights of the year include the district con¬ vention held at Charleston, South Carolina on March 15-17, and a visit by Peter Randall, International President of the Key Club.

To our student body the band is a symbol of Bearcat spirit whether they are marching down the field at a football game, leading a parade, or entertaining us at an assembly program. The band has brought special recognition to our school in various competitions. This year nineteen members of the band placed in the Western-District All-State Band.

Box 2131 Taipei, Formosa Free China Dear Friends: s 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 unsel¬ fishness 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 numble people who will receive them. fours in His service, Lillian R.

The H. H. S. Cheerleaders try to fulfill their role by cheering the Fighting Bearcats onto victory. They add the needed spark and color to the game with their untiring efforts in supporting our teams. The cheerleaders work long, hard hours practicing their cheers, decorating goal posts during football season, decorating for victory parties, preparing victo ry posters, and creating new ways to promote school spirit. Wearing the H on their red and white uniforms, they do their utmost in promoting better relations with other schools. This year the cheerleaders introduced the courtesy of contributing and preparing food for the visiting cheering squads. These meals provided an opportunity forgetting acquainted with opposing cheerleaders and promoting good sports¬ manship. The student body scarcely realizes how much the dedicated loyalty, the boundless en¬ thusiasm, and the effervescent energy of the cheerleaders has contributed to the spirit and effort of our teams.

ICS VARSITY CHEERLEADERS 1962-63 Dear Students, 1963 is the fourth year in our building cycle, and I believe it will be a good one. We have a large group of Seniors and Juniors from which to build. Hendersonville High School, for the next two years, should be able to compete favorably with the larger schools in our conference. Our students must understand, however, that most of the schools in our conference are consolidated now and are getting larger each year. This makes it imperative that our pro¬ grams grow in number to compete. We are proud of our showings in the past year and know that we can do better with that extra effort from everyone. Our staff has given a splendid effort to the program in hopes that our students will continue to do the same for their school in the coming years. Next year we are planning a J. V. football program in hopes that boys who feel they are not quite ready for varsity football will develop and find themselves before joining the varsity. Freshman girls ' basketball has already started and will prove to be most valuable to girls ' basketball in the future. I feel that this year has been a complete success--a year in the right direction and one which we will all be proud of next year. Norman Meseroll 100 1962 iJarsi y ooiSa I Goac iiny SiajJ Since Coach Harold Cline came to H. H. S. nine years ago from Biscoe, North Carolina, he has coached the Bearcats in nearly every sport. During his first years at H. H. S., Coach Cline was in charge of girls ' basketball. Later, his duties included freshmen baseball and also varsity track. For a time, Coach Cline was Head Athletic Director of H. H. S. At present Coach Cline is the coach of the boys ' varsity basketball team. He is also in charge of golf, and during football season he serves as backfield coach. A graduate of Catawba College, Coach Cline guided the Bearcat basketball team to third place in the state tournament during the ' 62 season. J. W. Shorty McCrary served as end coach for the football team this year. Having played varsity basketball at Furman, Coach McCrary v as at Edneyville before coming to H. H. S. Head Athletic Director and football coach Norm Meseroll guides the over-all athletic program at H. H. S. He has been instrumental in expanding both intramural and interscholastic athletic opportunities for all students.

Scoring on the first play from scrimmage, Enka handed the battling Bearcats a 25-7 loss. Hendersonville ' s Ollie Johnson passed to Jim Kilpatrick on an electrifying play covering 70 yards, and Lecter Hyder burst through the line five plays later for the Cat score. The Parker Tornadoes of Gr e e n v i 11 e invaded Dietz Field and left on the long end of a 32-6 score. Holding the heavier Tornadoes to a total of six yards rushing in the fourth quarter, the Bearcats, as usual, hit hard. Lecter ran seven, yards for the lone score. Against the Owen Warhorses, the Bearcats caught five and smeared Owen by a 38-0 count. Pushing the Owen offense fora minus forty-eight yard total, quarterback Ollie Johnson passed to Jim Hysong and to Berry Johnson for two scores and also ran for two touchdowns to lead the Bearcat scoring. A highly-regarded Murphy team, executing their plays to precision, broke loose in the second quarter and won by a final score of 20-12. The Bearcats dominated the first quarter and moved the ball well. Hysong played well both offensively and defensively, scoring on a circus catch of Ollie Johnson ' s aerial late in the game. Repeatedly, Berry Johnson made long kick-off and punt returns. Ollie Johnson completed 13 of 18 passes in a tough loss for the Cats. A fired-up Hendersonville eleven journeyed to Canton definitely an underdog. The Bearcats, playing their best game of the season, pounced on three Canton fumbles and converted all three to touchdowns. The winning tally was a thirty yard pass from Johnson to Hysong. Berry Johnson kicked the deciding point as the Hendersonville fans went wild. Tom Hardee and Harold Robertson did yeoman work defensively in the exciting Bearcat upset. Hendersonville had not beaten Canton in years. Homecoming with Enkaproved to bean exciting football contest as the Bearcats fought valiantly from a 14-0 deficit, but were severely hurt when officials called back Berry Johnson ' s sensational sixty-four yard punt return which carried to the Enka 33. The Johnson and Johnson com¬ bination of Ollie and Berry accounted for two touchdowns in the 24-14 defeat. The Waynesville Mountaineers, using a single-wing offense, contained the Bearcat running attack to win the next game 14-6. Fullback Mike Turner galloped ninety- five yards on a tremendous pass interception to score for Hendersonville. Brevard, regarded as the best 3A team in the state, proved to be a tough foe for the Bearcats. The Bearcats fought viciously until the final gun and blocked two Brevard punts. Ollie hit Berry for a third period touchdown pass. Final score: Brevard 34, Hendersonville 7. In the last game of the season, the Bearcats moved the ball at will and trounced the Edneyville Yellowjackets 33-0 to end the ' 62 season on a successful note. CracJ?

V. team, directed by Coach Jim Pardue, has compiled an enviable record of 18 wins and only 1 loss. Sporting an exceptionally fine fast break offense, good out¬ side shooting, and enthusiastic team work the J. V. ' s have won many of their games with ease. A typically fine performance by the J. V. ' s was the Sylva-Webster game in which the junior Bearcat squad won by the large margin of 33 points. After losing their first game with Enka, the J. V. ' s came on strong in the second Enka encounter, beating the Jets on a 52- 39 count. Coach Jim Pardue, who has a relatively unnoticed habit of turning out winning junior varsity basketball teams, seems to have a knack for producing spirit in his teams. His boys per¬ form with all-out effort and complete enthusiasm. Through his own interest and the personal admiration in which he is held by his squad, Mr. Pardue inspires his J. V.

Loaded with juniors and sophomores, the Hendersonville cross country team did well in the state meet this year. The Bearcat track team was generally regarded as the best high school track team in W. N. C. at the end of the ' 62 season. This selection was on the basis of Hendersonville ' s winning both the W. N. C. Relays and the District Meet. At the State Meet in 1962, Carroll Maxwell captured firstplace in the 440 dash, and Jesse Andrews took fourth place in the low hurdles.

We will remember him for years to come as the embodiment of the enthusiasm and interest of our students in the activities carried on here. We who own this LAUREATE are part of the SPIRIT OF 1963. Into the preparation of our yearbook have gone long discussions and planning sessions, eager enthusiasm on the part of the staff, some laughs and good times, and much hard work. The work could not have been accomplished, however, with¬ out the help and guidance of our sponsor and many other co-operative individuals. With Mr. Bearcat we close this attempt to capture a part of the SPIRIT OF 1963 and hope that this LAUREATE will be a constant reminder of all the rewarding, enjoyable ex¬ periences of 1962 - 1963 at H.
