We awaken, and the ever- lightening horizon reveals to us a glimpse of the day that is destined to be ours. Another day beckons to us! The day begins . . . students arrive at Hunter Huss High School, bells ring, and our world as students at Huss goes into full swing. The brightest hours, and sometimes the darkest of each day, are those spent here. Leisure and labor, friends and foes, fun and frenzy—all evolve from the rotation of our world. Never do we venture from its far-reaching effects. As our world turns, we are caught in the whir of school life. Laughing, conversing, reading, studying, learning, testing, hoping, dreaming, asking, answering, seeking and finding—all these and more add impetus to this blur that is known as the transition into adult¬ hood. As our world turns, we come in contact with people —family, fellow students, faculty, and other friends; we live the normal teen life—catering to our culture as we interfuse home, church, and school. Actively participating in such popular pastimes as dating, dancing, driving, daydreaming, doodling, and yelling at ball games, we find ourselves enjoying the fun-filled moments of living. Currently we listen to the radio, records, intercom, class discussions, and choice gos¬ sip; we notice and quickly grasp things common to our world which we never before realized existed. Our world is a preparation—a prologue to the fu¬ ture. Emotions are at their peak during the teen years —more so than at any other time in a person’s life. Few people can match our dedication—when we’re dedicated. Few can compete with our sincerity, our happiness, our sadness, our zeal, our acuity, our dreams, our loves, or our dislikes. Few people can feel as strongly about any one thing as we feel. Our emotions run the gamut of extreme loneliness to that of supreme happiness. And as we strive for maturity, we find ourselves caught between new horizons and present securities. Then there are times when our feelings are laid bare by the harsh realities of life. We find that every¬ thing is not a dream, but yet we dream on. We ac¬ complish but still meet our share of failure. However, our spirits are not dampened by our tears. Instead they only soar higher as the rays of the bright sun cast our shadows upon all the miracles of the world. ? -i “A man—a capability—a desire to serve plus a post of duty may produce a leader. Ability blended with interest, experience and enthusiasm are attri¬ butes of effective leadership. Keen insight, sound judg¬ ment, and belief in the teenager are needed in scholastic administration. An effective scholastic leader is found at Hunter Huss High School in the personage of Prin¬ cipal Bartley E. Robbins. For this reason Mr. Robbins is the dedicatee of the very first yearbook published by the Huss student body—the 1965 ASTRON. Mr. Robbins Becomes First ASTRON Dedicatee Bartley E. Robbins, a native of Winston-Salem, N. C., is Huss High’s head administrator. Having received his education at High Point College and the University of North Carolina, he is the recipient of the B.S. and M.Ed. degrees. Before coming to Huss, he served as business instructor at Hasty High School in Davidson County, and principal at Peachland, Sun Valley and Indian Trail High Schools in Anson and Union Counties. He is currently listed in two publications, North Carolif i Lives and Who’s Who in American Education. Well seasoned in administrative duties, Mr. Robbins was the logical choice for the principalship of Gastonia’s Hunter Huss High School. Coming to a new school—a brand new school—exacted from him leadership and influence that would reach the lives of thousands of teenagers. Answering this challenge with his capability, he has established a repu¬ tation that commands respect from both school and com¬ munity. Does Ronnie Spargo really think that Mr. Robbins believes that excuse? Sharing the administrative duties at Huss are (R) Mr. Rob¬ bins, Principal, and Mr. Briggs (L), Assistant Principal.

Located in south Gastonia, Hunter Huss High School, named for the superin¬ tendent of the county school system, is situated at 1518 Edge- field Avenue, Gastonia, North Carolina. Serving the largest school district in North Carolina, the Hess student body in¬ cludes students from the South Carolina line to the Dallas city limits and from Cramerton, N. C., to Kings Mountain, N. C. Complete with seventy teaching stations, a gymnasium that seats 1818, an auditorium with a seating capacity of 1465, a cafeteria that will service 570 students in one sitting, an air- conditioned administrative unit, a student center, teachers’ dining room and lounge, an attractive library, and a number of labs, offices, and other work rooms, Huss is designed to meet the needs of 1900 students. The 1964-65 school year witnessed the enrollment of 1554 students and employment of 62 faculty and administrative members. Looking from the west side of Huss, one will see the only two-story wing of the school. The day begins . . .

From Its Far-Reaching Effects At the sound of the 3:10 buzzer, students rush to the school buses. Alert and stalwart. Bearpaw faces distraction with attention unwavering. As a pup, Bearpaw’s meek look draws a direct contrast to his present appearance No stranger to the Huss gym floor, Bearpaw offers moral support at ball games. Bearpaw — Backbone of School Spirit A newcomer to both the Huss world and “Huskie” af¬ fection this year, Bearpaw Gemo of Totem has brought to Huss the sole distinction of being the only school in Gaston County having a mascot. Air Force Captain Hunter Huss, Jr. presented the Husky, which was flown in from Alaska, as a gift to the school. Being of the malemute breed, Bearpaw is half wolf and half dog. The evil mask-markings caused by dark hair around the facial area makes the dog fierce looking. He is a descendant of the star of Walt Disney’s “Niki, Dog of the North” and a cousin of the University of Washing¬ ton Mascot. Both meaning and purpose are the causes for Bearpaw’s three names. Bearpaw is his given name; Gemo, his family name; Totem, the name of the kennel from which he came; thus, Bearpaw Gemo of Totem. When Bearpaw reaches maturity, his weight will exceed 100 pounds, although he weighed only eight pounds at three months of age. In a sense, Bearpaw has given Huss students a “material” spirit. His unique presence at the athletic events stirs pride in the Huskie boosters. Bearpaw looks content even if Huss does lose. ■C ■ Varsity cheerleaders pose with Bearpaw at the Huss-Sacred Heart game. 23 As our world turns, we find it impossible to overlook those whose impressions, demands, ideas, may mold our futures, form our philoso¬ phies. They work among us, giving of their knowledge, of themselves. Not only realists but also idealists, they dream and plan with us. Unable to conceal their dedication, they reveal their warmth with their laughter, their concern with their interest. They stimulate the intellect, vet at times they are totally confusing. They ex¬ pect the best but have an understanding of the worst. They counsel, they teach, they feel, they plead, they reprimand, they think in unfathom¬ able terms. To their untiring effort to impart knowledge and to their never-ending patience goes our praise and admiration. Faculty and A dministration Administration Expands to Direct Curriculum of Senior High School Relaxed, efficient, amiable, organized, and firm describe Huss High’s principal. Serving in the chief administrative capacity, Mr. B. E. Robbins exer¬ cises his leadership as he helps create an atmosphere conducive to both the mental and physical develop¬ ment and improvement of the Huss student. While at Huss, Mr. Robbins has organized a well-rounded curriculum and extracurriculum and has employed an able staff and faculty to aid him in building the Huss student world. His daily ac¬ tivity mirrors more than any other effort, concern for the individual student. Answering numerous telephone calls is only one of the many time-consuming tasks of Mr. Robbins’ busy schedule. The voice of Mr. Briggs, assistant principal, is a familiar one over the Huss intercom. Making the announcements of the day, he executes another of his varied duties. His commanding height, a de liberate voice, friendliness, and sincerity make Mr. Bill Briggs a capable and respected assistant principal. As co-ordinator of extracurricular ac¬ tivities, Mr. Briggs works to direct the student body into worthwhile use of leisure time. His dedication and interest in the Huss program is in¬ dicated by his attendance at athletic events, his concern for students, and his desire for Huss to become one of tbe most outstanding high schools in North Carolina. 26 Filing, bookkeeping, and secretarial work make up the day’s activities for Mrs. Brenda Turlington, secretary to Mr. Robbins. Secretarial Assistance Pi oves Indispensable in Administrative Office “Brenda, may I be excused for the day?” “Brenda, receipt this money please.” “Brenda, telephone.” “Brenda, Mr. Davidson said to give you this.” “Brenda, please take this letter for me.” “Hunter Huss High School, Brenda Turlington Speaking.” The duties of an office job are numerous and demanding. Chores must be done with prevailing accuracy. The work seems never to end but to go on and on. A secretary is indispensable. Mrs. Brenda Turlington not only keeps up with money, students, telephone calls, and reports, hut also keeps up with other official business matters of the school. Even though her tasks seem endless and her time is limited, she greets both her duties and friends among the student body and faculty with interest. Counsellors Aid in Student Direction The philosophy of Huss’s guidance program stresses the dignity and worth of the individual student. His needs are of primary ' importance. The purpose of the office of coun¬ selor is four-fold: First, to acquaint the students with colleges, scores re¬ quired by the colleges, costs, and scholarship opportuni¬ ties; Second, to acquaint the students with occupational oppor¬ tunities in professions and various fields of service, and the requirements of the college which offers training in the field of the student’s choice; Third, to make available information concerning voca¬ tions, and to guide the students to the schools which offer the courses they need for specific training in preparation for the chosen vocation; and Fourth, to help students with daily problems thereby im¬ proving the immediate learning situations. Pictured at the left is Dr. Margaret Spencer, guidance counselor. A recipient of the Ph.D. degree from New York University, Dr Spencer spends many hours re¬ viewing college applications and recommending Huss students to the various colleges. It was a squirt of mustard in the eye that brought Steve Thomas to Mrs. Thomason’s office. The newest addition to the guidance department, Mrs. Helen Thomason is a graduate of Winthrop College. English Study Sparks Student From the cave man’s “Ugh evolved such rare choice of words as Elizabeth Barrett Browning ' s: How do 1 love thee? Let me count the ways. 1 love thee to the depth, breadth, and height M soul can reach . . .” A need, a desire, and a determination to communicate, com¬ plemented bv God-given powers, initiated and perpetuated the growth and progress of language. A product of the people, language is a studv of the people. As a man thinks, he speaks —he writes—he interprets. His thoughts inspire, degrade, enlighten, or entertain. His thoughts ignite or harness his actions. To stud English is to feel the pulse of the English-speaking people and their ancestrv. Introducing to its scholars a vast reservoir of learning, it opens new channels of knowledge and avenues of interest. At Huss the basic skills of grammar are introduced to the English student as the essentials of communi¬ cation. Skills in speaking, writing, reading, and listening are stressed to insure vocational and professional security. Mastery of these skills keynote creativity and enhances literary appre¬ ciation. Found among the pursuers of these skills may be a successful actor, actress, novelist, journalist, poet, lecturer, teacher . . . Others of these will have learned how to make better use of their leisure time and to see the world—parts that experience will never allow them to visit—through the eyes of another. Some will learn to think and communicate their thoughts more ably. Still others will learn to see value in the efforts of others and point these out to those who do not. In so doing they will compliment the intent of each teacher and attain the purpose of the Huss English Department.

MARILYN FINGER Salem College Algebra I CHARLES ALLRAN Western Carolina College Physics and Geometry Department Head Sponsors: Twelfth Grade 32 L r Practical Skills Mathematics is the science that treats the measurements, properties, and relations of quantities. It is the “language of science” and serves as a tool to further scientific study. A process as well as a product, mathematics is a way of thinking as well as a result of thinking. In the Huss curriculum math is justified by its usefulness to the student and to society. Even today there could be no technological progress without a thorough knowledge of mathe¬ matics. In addition, some mathematical ability is needed in any occupation and in every phase of living. For those who are less competent and those not planning toward college, studies in fundamental mathematics are of¬ fered. These courses include: general and business mathematics. For the college preparatory and the more proficient student, Algebra I and II is the starting point for higher mathematics. Algebra provides a basic language for many fields such as geometry, chemistry, physics, electronics, and other related fields. The geometry course is designed to aid the student in de¬ veloping an understanding of the nature of mathematical proof and to improve the quality of thinking and reasoning in non- mathematical situations. Trigonometry and Advanced Algebra, a combined course taught for the 12th grade student is designed primarily for those who intend to continue their study of mathematics beyond high school graduation. 0 ROBERT DAVIDSON Erskine College Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry, Algebra II Sponsors: Beta Club Departmental cooperation by members of the math department in the math office is featured in the above picture.

Physical and Biological Sciences Like many other 4-A high schools throughout the state, the Science Department at Hunter Huss High School offers science courses within two large realms of study. One is concerned with the biological sciences and the other deals with the physical concepts of the universe. Courses under these two categories include: General Science, Biology I and Senior Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Choice of emphasis in either area of this curriculum is left solely to the judgment of the individual student. However, it is the intention of the science department to offer such a varied and flexible schedule of scientific study that even those students who are not preparing for college will gain skills in Huss’s new and modern labora¬ tories. Thgse skills will help the student develop feelings of security suitable to any phase of life, and help him to grasp a deeper understanding of man’s role in an ever- changing technical world. Wisdom acquired in these laboratories will equip the Huss alumni with an ambition to continually aspire to seek the truth.

French, and Spanish. As soon as the need warrants them, third and fourth year French and Spanish will be added. The value of learning a foreign language cannot be underestimated. To be able to communicate in a foreign language and thus participate directly in a different culture is an enriching and lasting educational experience. A foreign language not only adds to one’s general education but also has many very practical uses. Proficiency in another language in addition to specialization in a different field is a requirement for a good secondary qualification for many positions. Because of the expanding rela¬ tions with other countries, there is a growing need for language mastery. There are many attractive and interesting career opportunities as interpreters, translators, and teachers for those who specialize in a foreign language. In Latin the traditional method with its emphasis on the reading and writing skills is used. The eclectic method is used to teach French and Spanish. This mode of teaching combines the best aspects of the audio-lingual and traditional methods. The initial emphasis is on the skills of listening and speaking, which the students develop through oral drills. Then, the students learn to read and write what they already have learned to say. Those who take a foreign language learn about the geography, customs, and people of the countries where the languages are spoken. This is accomplished through a variety of activities which include special reports, book reports, projects, movies, sing¬ ing, dancing, and listening to music.

History and Economics Department Head Social Studies Students of Man s Past The purpose of social studies in today’s scho¬ lastic curriculum is to increase society’s total knowledge of the relations of people to one an¬ other. The Social Studies Department derives its name solely from the content of its subject matter -—namely social relationships. Because of the exist¬ ing nature of the subject matter, social studies have a major role in the responsibility of developing the insights, attitudes, and competence needed by our leaders and other citizens of tomorrow. The subjects included in the field at Hunter Huss are United States History, World History, Civics, Geography, and Economics—all dealing with as¬ pects of man’s relationships with his fellowman, past and present. � L A map, a teacher, and a pointer may well be instrumental in teaching world-wide relation¬ ships and an understanding of past and present national activities. This is illustrated above by Mrs. Linda Summey. ED BARNES Western Carolina College World History _ f- CHARLES HAMILTON Belmont Abbey College U; S. History JON CHILDS Central Wesleyan College U. S.

Special emphasis is placed on the investigation of the American form of government and the role that each student will and must play in preserving our democratic way of life. The department stresses the importance of stu¬ dents’ participation in the learning process through library research, independent and group study, discussion, and dramatic interludes. Creative teaching methods and the conventional lecture are used to stimulate student interest in to¬ day’s heritage as well as to incite any appreciation of it.

This, in turn, affords a better adjustment to the social and economic institution of business. Huss’s curriculum offers a full range of courses for the prospective business student. These include: General Busi¬ ness, Business Math, Typing I and II, Shorthand, Book¬ keeping I and II, Secretarial Practice, Office Practice, Business Machines, and Business English. While striving to develop an appreciation for and under¬ standing of the business world, Huss’s Business Department also stresses the improvement of the personality. In addition guidance in the type and selection of jobs is provided by the various teachers. ,TYPEWRITER KETBOARi ©ee@6©e0€t© „ ooooooooooo 00000000060 ®0000000066 © Mastery of the typing chart is the first key to success for the beginning typist.

The overall objective of the course may be stated as follows: To help the students develop plans regarding their occupational futures. Students explore manual and mechanical occupations; clerical sales, and service occupations, and professional and technical occupations. In addition, the English, math, and science courses are taught with vocational coordination. There is no textbook for the course. Students learn of various occupational fields through pamphlets, filmstrips, group discussion, and field trips. Very few lecture classes are conducted, and emphasis is placed on the individual students’ interests and aptitudes. The boys in the program may elect to go into Construction Industry Shop in the tenth grade. This is an exploratory shop in which woodwork, metal work, electrical wiring, masonry, and drafting are studied. An l.V, shop for eleventh and twelfth graders is in the planning stage. In it a definite skill will be taught. The girls in l.V. may go into business education or home economics. Distributive Education, Mechanical Drawing, and Home Economics are other types of the vo¬ cational program. MRS. ERMA DRUM Winthrop University General Math “Now here, uh, we see the contrast between the draftsman and contractor,” says Mr. Huffman, as he enlightens his students concerning the various vocations.

DON KYLES East Carolina College Mechanical Drawing I Sponsors: Junior Civitans Mechanical Arts Student Develops Skills at Drawing Board The present Mechanical Drawing Program at Hunter Huss High consists of four classes of Mechanical Drawing I and one class of Mechanical Drawing II. In all of these classes the subject matter is presented to the students in lecture to the entire group as well as by individual instruction. Due to the natural differences in the students, individual instruction plays the larger part in the student learning process. The importance of Mechanical Drawing is ' evident around us. The majority of all industrial products, if not all, start out on the drawing boards. Without drawings, the manufacture of goods and construction of homes, buildings, and bridges would be vir¬ tually impossible. Mechanical drawing is especially helpful for students who plan to-make a career of engineering or architecture. It gives these students some insight and understanding of what will be expected of them in college. Students who do not plan to continue their education can receive great benefits from this course also. The machinist, carpenter, and other tradesmen need some under¬ standing of how drawings are made and how to read them. Construction Classes Added to Huss Curriculum The Construction Industry class is new to the vocational area of work. In this class students -are introduced to five trade subjects. These include carpentry, masonry, electrical wiring, sheet metal, and drafting-blue print reading. This broad coverage is designed to in¬ troduce to the students, some basic skills of each, enabling him to make a choice of the vocational training he may wish to pursue further. The future looks bright for those who choose to make one of the branches of the Construction Industry their lifetime work. The work of each trade offers an interesting challenge to young men. Materials and methods are always changing and opportunities travel are abundant. Hunter Huss has one of the best equipped shops in the state. The school plant is adequately planned and built for this type of pro¬ gram; as other courses are added, these students will be well pre¬ pared as skilled craftsmen to compete for good jobs in the national labor force.

A Distributive Education Program Trains Tomorrow s Merchants and Salesmen 44 MISS RUTH BURDETTE New York University Distributive Education I II Sponsors: D. E. Club Distributive Education is a co-operative training program to prepare students for work in the field of distribution—the marketing and merchandising of goods and services. The methods and techniques in presenting the subject matter on distributive education are unique. The teaching is not limited to the ' textbook method because of the dynamic nature of retailing. A course of study, books, educational films, the library, actual sales materials, projects, bulletin boards, merchandise, periodicals, audio-visual aids, catalogues, field trips, and many other teaching aids and methods are used. All the material presented in class is correlated with on-the-job training afforded the students by the local merchants. The first year of study is approached from the standpoint of a beginning employee, and the second year is approached from the standpoint of management. The D. E. department at Huss tries to realize the following goals: To prepare qualified young men and women for distributive occupations. To prepare high school students for advancement and leadership. To encourage good work habits. To develop good attitudes toward work. To give students an understanding of the mutual program of consumer, employer, and employee. As part of the D. E. program next year, Huss hopes to add Marketing I and in the following year, Marketing II. “E” hall traffic during the month of December viewed the above display, a project of the Huss D.

Learning to be a good salesman and consumer is a vital part of D. E. training. Here Brenda Burrell and Dickie Adair give a sales demonstra¬ tion to the class. Home Economics Students Explore the Art of Homemaking Very often people are quick to judge home economics as an easy course wherein the girls are concerned only with learning to cook and sew. However, at Huss its expansion is much broader. The home economics program is designed to enable girl to establish a home and family; to maintain home comfort and family satis¬ faction; to improve her home and family life both in relationships and in material surroundings and activities. One might explain the home economics program as a group of related subjects which together meet the family needs of the American homemaker. Home Ec. I and II include grooming, clothing construction, child care and development, foods, housing, family relations, and home care of the sick. To help make this study more meaningful, a home experience program is carried out, whereby girls further a learning experience by continuing it at home. The home experiences are planned and evaluated by students, parents, and teacher. Huss’s home economics program also offers an adult program to serve people who desire to further their education to meet new problems in homemaking. These classes are taught before school starts in the fall or at night during the regular school year. SABRA HOVIS A.S.T.C.

FRANCES MASON Winthrop College Home Economics I, II 45 Thirty-five library assistants collaborate to aid in the book circulation at Huss. Students such as senior Johnny Connor fipd the library a refuge of ready reference and resourceful reading. The 5571 books found in the Huss library endure consistent use by the student body and faculty. Library Steadily Increases Book Volume ' Added to the library this year was the reading nook. Com¬ fortable chairs, a new newspaper rack, and an attractive display of current periodicals entice interested students. The physical beauty of the library is evident as one ap¬ proaches the front entrance of the school. Library assistants Rita Spargo, Dayson Shuler are caught in the act of helping a number of students with books during the fifth period. MORRIS L. DAVIS Central Wesleyan College Librarian Architecturally speaking, one of Huss High’s most prized possessions is the school library, found adjacent to the main entrance of the school. Academically speaking, it serves a simi¬ lar possession—a valued resource unit offering depth in learning. Following today’s scholastic library trend, the library at Huss is a materials center—not just a collection of books. A materials center supplies the teacher and student with the needed equipment to carry out a successful educational program. Tape recorders, film strips and film strip projectors, records and record players, opaque and overhead projectors, current periodicals, encyclo¬ pedias, dictionaries, and other books are put to use daily at Hunter Huss, and the library is the center for this distribution. With a student body of over 1500, seventy teachers and staff members, and an average circulation of 1600 books a month, the total hook number of 5571 falls short of the library specifications. This shortage has been an incentive to provide money or more hooks for the library by school clubs, business firms, and other individuals. These gifts have given a no¬ ticeable lift to the total book number. A far cry from the dismal medieval libraries, the Huss library with its modern furniture, tasteful decor, excellent lighting, and up-to-date audio-visual equipment, is fast becoming a materials center that answers the academic needs of today’s high school student. 46 Music Department Enhances Music Appreciation and Enjoyment J ■— ' -- Ar a fl U J c ! • ' ■- ..V. . rs CECIL BAKER Lenior Rhyne College Choral and Math A cross section of a vocal class shows both students and director actively en¬ gaged in their daily ac¬ tivity — Exploring new pleasures in music. Pic¬ tured left to right are Mary Alice Walters, San¬ dra Allen, Jane Cleve¬ land, Doris Cardin. In the background is Caro¬ lyn Payne, and in the foreground is Mr. Baker, Director. In the department of music, Huss High seeks to provide an opportunity for participation of all students interested in music. As the development of a good music curriculum is one involving time, Hunter Huss eventually plans for a depart¬ ment having these performing groups: a marching and con¬ cert band, beginning and advanced choruses, including an a cappella choir and madrigal singers, and an orchestra. Classes in music history, theory, and appreciation will be offered for those wishing to prepare for college as well as those seeking to gain a better understanding of the musical arts. The primary aim of the department is to help students appreciate and enjoy good music. Through practical experience, it hopes to train students for active participation in community and church musical organizations, provide a strong back¬ ground in music for future music teachers, and to promote a means of worthy use of leisure time. The advantages of music study are many. It teaches group cooperation, good posture, correct breathing habits, and cor¬ rect enunciation of words in singing, as well as providing relaxation, recreation, and a keen sense of school spirit. Art Classes Stimulate Student Imagination One teaches not only by lectur¬ ing and supervising but also by showing and doing. Miss Newman (seated), an artist in her own rights, is shown above with students (1. to r.) Cindy Jenkins, Linda Thomas, Jimmy Holland, Clyde Foy, and Ken¬ neth Mullinax. Boys and girls today are so occupied with form drawings, coloring books, and cartoons that they have no opportunity to put lines and ideas of their own together. Many of them suffer from a bad case of “lack of imagination” and an even more acute case of blindness to the detail and beauty around them. The Huss art program is designed to stimulate the student’s imagination, poke at his creative ability, and open his eyes to the beauty found in his daily surroundings. Through various graphic and dimensional projects, the student learns the rela¬ tionship of one line to another, the simplicity of shape, and the overwhelming va¬ riety of color available to him. Moreover, they are introduced to various media which may be used in realizing their artistic endeavors. These include both water and oil base paint, wood, clay, plaster, and scrap materials. As one looks toward the future, art education encompasses both personal enjoy¬ ment and practical application as it opens new doors to inquiring students.

The required ninth grade Health-Physical Education program at Huss is organized on the suggested basis of the State De¬ partment. It is set up on a three-two basis—with physical education three days each week and health instruction two days. The field of education has come to realize that young people need some type of program involving physical exer¬ cise and health instruction at the secondary level. Presently Huss also offers a second year of P.E. There is a promise of P.E. Ill and IV being added to the Huss curriculum. Physical fitness helps to make for a more alert and energetic student. Health knowledge and physical fitness are not only of great importance to the individual, but to his community and nation. America’s young people should be one of her greatest strengths. Huss strives to do its part in obtaining this goal. In Huss’s health program, attention is given to all phases of health—physical, mental, emotional, and social. A sincere effort is made to give the students an understanding of the structure, function, and care of the body. Physical Education concerns itself with the growth and de¬ velopment of boys and girls through the medium of big- muscle activities and acquaintance with recreational sports. Huss, with its modern gymnastic facilities, is well on its way to having one of the best Physical Education programs in the state.

The daily rattle of pots and pans, the sound of good-natured joking, and the aroma of freshly cooking vegetables and meats typify the makings of a delicious and nourishing meal for each Huss student. As chief dietitian, at Huss, Mrs. Zola Crisco and her staff of eight seek to make the three lunch periods ones of relaxation and enjoyment on the part of the student body and faculty. Definitely considered “in” by the students, Mrs. Crisco is a faithful at¬ tendant at school events. Her warm smile and carefree “Hi” are known to almost every member of the student body. Her efforts as lunchroom manager do not go unnoticed.

Created for and dedicated to the needs of questing youth, the Huss world caters to the needs of the American teenager. A closer look at the H.H.H.S. stu¬ dents reveals four levels of maturity—freshman, sophomore, junior and senior. The insecure” freshman, “cock-sure” sopho¬ more, “flighty” junior, and “stuffy” senior re¬ veal their true selves with attributes of warmth, ambition, stamina, integrity, and vitality. Teaching would be a lost art if it were not for the student. A lecture is without impact if not absorbed by his probing mind. An as¬ signment would remain unlearned informa¬ tion if not for his effort. Each class is but a step to the next one— each represents progress—a necessary ingre¬ dient of success. Each provides enriching ex¬ periences in vicarious and trial-and-error learn¬ ing. Each builds tomorrow’s citizens. Each plays an important role in the revolution of the Huss world. 50 5!

Huss Adopts New Form of Government The newly-organized Student Co-opera¬ tive Association introduced a new type of student government to the student body. The new system was adopted by the school in September of this yeap. The constitu¬ tion specified that the student body be divided into four legislatures—one to rep¬ resent each class. These legislatures work independently and have their own officers. All legislative efforts are combined in the Executive Council, which is composed of all class officers. The maid duty of the S.C.A. is to plan the graduation program. The senior class legislature took charge of ordering visit¬ ing cards and graduation announcements.

Though always constant, it can seem to fly hy with uncanny swiftness, or it can grind on with agonizing mo¬ notony. Twelve years seems like a long time . . . until they have passed. For 292 Huss seniors, gradu¬ ation marks the end of this phase of their life. For a few, formal education will cease; for most, it has only begun. These have been the trial and error years . . . the formative years. Personalities have been molded; beliefs conceived; failure acknowledged, yet over¬ come, and foundations for the future laid. However, as we visualize the future, memories of this, our senior year, bring to mind the “firsts” which have been achieved this year. All remember . . . the first senior class rings; Huss’s first mascot; the first varsity games with our cross-town rival Ashley; the first junior-senior; this, the first edition of The Aslron; but most im¬ portant of all, all remember being a part of the first graduating class of Hunter Huss High School. Senior Sandra Allen was caught in deep concentration.

Eager to become understudies of the senior class, the HHHS juniors with relish took a step up the academic ladder at the on¬ set of the 1964-65 school year. A slight tilt of the head and straight¬ ening of the shoulders gave vent to their newly acquired assurance. With this confidence they were sure to master success in their “almost” last year at Hunter Huss. Pursuing a study of American action, they met new adventure in their contact with the literature and history of the American people. Geometry and Chemistry led to a new depth in math and science, and business education opened new skills to the young aspirers. Perception was deepened, thus enabling them to contribute advanced mediums of service. Leadership was developed as they assumed an active role in ex- tra-curriculars. Combining efforts and talents, the juniors won ac¬ claim with their production of “The Night of January 16” on March 26, 1965. Profits from the play provided financial backing for Huss’s first junior-senior prom boosting the theme of “Bongos, Books, and Butterflies.” Class ring measurement, annual staff selection, registration for col¬ lege prep courses, and SAT scores marked the forthcoming realiza¬ tion of a new dream—that of being a high school senior!

SOPHOMORE CLASS A1 Jacobs headed the 1964-65 slate of sophomore officers. Sophomores use both classroom time and other study hours to probe into the study of World History. Sophomores Sophomores feel keen senst “As I walked into the school, on September 2, 1964, I felt very good because I was a sophomore Thus, the thoughts and fears of being a “fresh one” were removed from the rising sopho¬ more’s mind. A sense of pride and a feeling of belonging reigned as familiar faces and surroundings were greeted by the members of the sophomore class. They now approached a school year with new maturity. A new year meant a new start—a new determination—a new adventure in social and academic pursuits. Biology, Latin, French, and Spanish II, Geometry, World History, and English presented opportunities for increased intellectual perception. The smell of formaldehyde, “Gallia est omnis diversa in partes Ires,” French dialogue, Cervantes’ Don Quixote, postulates and axioms, Hitler’s Gestapo, and Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar en¬ riched their scholastic development and interest. Maturation heightened their academic concern. The sixteenth birthday brought a new responsibility—that of the driver’s license. Thus, the rate of dating and social develop¬ ment increased. Participation and leadership in extracurricular activities were encouraged. Sophomores made definite contri¬ butions to the school on the basketball court, football and base¬ ball fields, and on the sidelines. In addition they proved an integral part of Hussin club meetings and other extracurricular action. On the brink of upper classification, they find their ad¬ vancement warmly welcomed but hard to believe. Jimmy Beamguard, Connie Cannon, and April Gray aided in the leadership of the sophomore class by filling the offices of vice president, treasurer, and secretary, respectively. 88 SOPHOMORE CLASS Abernathy, Jerry Wilson Adams, Gloria Gail Alexander, Johnny Wade Alley, Brenda Carole Allmond, Eric Bernard Allred, Susan Gail Anderson, Steve Larry Anthony, Christine Ashton, John Stewart Atchley, Donna Jean Atkins, Gay Rousseau Atkinson, Tanka Lynn Badger, Carolyn Savonne Baker, Danny Ray Baker, Johnny Howard Barker, Jerry Thomas Barker, Perry Curtis Barnes, Carolyn Louise Barnes, Ronnie Jay Barnhill.

Freshmen “The first week of school we felt like we were standing outside with no coat on, and it was December . . . but gradually someone let us in.” So commented one freshman when sum¬ ming up the general freshman feeling upon entering Huss. It was on Septem¬ ber 3, 1964, that these freshmen be¬ came a part of the Huss environment. The first few weeks consisted of “pure” adjustment. Few had realized the hugeness of Huss, until they tried to find their classes. Getting used to six different teachers and the strange faces of over 1500 students; and re¬ membering their locker numbers and combinations, when they ate lunch, and above all, the many rules and regula¬ tions prescribed by the administration had a monopoly on freshman atten¬ tion and concern. Most of all they sought the approval and acceptance of fellow freshmen and upperclassmen. After making preliminary adjust¬ ments they found that Huss was basi¬ cally the same as any other school— just on a larger scale. People changed classes, did their homework, ate lunch, laughed, played, were serious—in short, they were a cross-section of the typical high school teenager. Feelings of loneliness, helplessness, anxiety, stemming from insecurity were later replaced with a sense of acceptance and belonging. Making new friends and renewing friendships, en¬ joying new depth introduced by more specialized study, realizing a new sense of freedom, and feeling a new ma¬ turity encouraged them to take new interest in their environment. These freshmen are valuable mem¬ bers of the Huss student body—tomor¬ row’s student leaders. Heading the (Hass of 68 were freshmen officers: Tommy Pearson (treasurer), Sand¬ ra High (vice president), Mary Van Pelt (secretary). Acting as adviser was Mrs. Patricia Glenn.

Monitors Patrol Huss Corridors The co-chief monitors, Jane Riddle (left) and Pat Hamilton (right) stand at at¬ tention a few seconds before class change. To the right please! is a familiar warning in the Huss Halls. Class change empties some 1550 students into the halls, making order neces¬ sary. To maintain this order is the duty of the Monitorial Council, com¬ posed of 30 students. The monitors, stationed at intervals in the halls, remind the students the rule about walking on the right was devised to insure faster and safer travel. Mr. Conley Rockett sees that the council operates as smoothly and efficiently as possible by soliciting suggestions from the monitors, the teachers, and the student body. Because of the efforts of the monitorial council, the entire student body is able to change classes in the allotted four minutes. Jane Riddle and Pat Hamil¬ ton have served as chief monitors during this school year. Bev Quinn directs hall traffic during class change. KNEELING T. to r .)

I ' Student Assistants Speed School Operation I Knowing that the reward for working in the library will be nothing other than the experience gained, the library as¬ sistants still work daily at the tasks assigned them by Mr. Davis, librarian. These duties vary from day to day to main¬ tain interest in the job. Processing, shelving and mending books, and typing are all involved in their schedules. In ad¬ dition, as many as are needed are stationed at the door to sign library permission slips. Because of the steady check-out routine, a number of students work at the circulation desk. They see that book cards are properly filed, and arrange for the new magazines to be circulated. The library assistants have taken on a new job this year, handling the circulation of all audio-visual materials. The boys who serve as library assist¬ ants also aid in the operation of audio-visual equipment. Even though no formal organization for the assistants was formed this year, enthusiasm was not dampened. Selling over $100 in our school candy sale and collecting over $100 in over-due fines, they used this money to buy equipment needed for the library. Commendation to the li¬ brary assistants for these services is in order! Helping with miscellaneous jobs around the office and in the cafeteria is numbered among the contributions of several members of the stu¬ dent body. The tasks performed by these office and cafeteria assistants lighten the loads of the administration and cafeteria workers. Answer¬ ing the telephone, preparing and distributing absentee lists, and assisting in other clerical du¬ ties compose the daily routine of the office help. Cafeteria assistant s aid daily lunchroom prog¬ ress by serving trays and collecting lunch fees. (Top) Office assistants Betsy Holbrook, Judy Cannon, Steve Walsh, Phyllis Lewis, Sandra Allen, and Teresa Jacobs helped in the office first semester. (Bottom) Other office help Bill Jumper, Diana Bridges, and Judie Hill do the odd jobs. After David Honeycutt and Randy Hamilton go through the line, Dale Ghorley and Mike Denton are on duty to collect lunch fees. 113 Reminiscing knows no age limits. Even in our spinning world as students at Huss High, we find that in times of solitude and thought¬ fulness, fleeting memories may be awakened. Some are puzzling; some, vague; and some, vivid. Years from now, not many of us will he able to remember details of our world at Huss during the first two years of its exist¬ ence—two years in which there was no annual to record its history. We will find that that which we wish to remember with exacting clar¬ ity will most likely be forgotten. Details we now T know will become buried in the past. During the 1962-64 school terms many tradi¬ tions were set, many fads came and passed and a memorable list of “firsts” was accom¬ plished—almost all of which might possibly fade into obscurity if not recorded permanent¬ ly on the pages of this book. To make certain that the birth of this school is not forgotten, the following section is intended to recapture the spirit and vitality of the first two years of Huss history. History, 1962-64 -i 115 Framework for the ultra-modern Hunter Huss High began in the fall of 1961. Gaston County Construct Prior to August of 1962. the Gaston County secondary school population was suffering from severe growing pains. The influx of “war babies” into high school promised no alleviation of these pains. It was clearly realized that one high school could no longer house the fast growing teen-age popula¬ tion of the area. Thus, the need for a new high school in the county was keenly felt. Hunter Huss High School, conceived and constructed by the Gaston County Board of Education, was the answer to the pressing need. Named for Mr. Hunter Huss, County Education Superintendent, this school was to be one of the most modern and well-equipped high schools in North Carolina. How¬ ever, such a building would have been impossible if adequate funds could not have been appropriated. Through the efforts of the State Board of Education and the civic-minded Gastonians, sufficient finances were made available. Fifty-three acres of grassy woodlands bordering Wesley Park were chosen as the site of this mammoth $2,100,000 facility. Today the school itself oc¬ cupies 178,000 square feet of floor space—more than four acres. Constructed by the Wheatly Construction Company of Charlotte, the new Huss High had as its architect Frank Griffin of Gastonia. Students were to enter the building for the first time in the late summer of 1962. This deadline required a race with time. 116 Bearing the name of the Superintendent of County Schools, the front entrance of Huss identifies the educational plant. 2 Million High School This aerial view has become the trademark of Gastonia’s largest high school. 117 The above pictures display the contrast between the opening days of mud and clay and the improvements which followed. Huss Opens Doors As August 29, 1962, neared, progress was evident, but the school plant was not completely ready for its grand opening. Bad weather and other handicaps, such as a fire on the roof, slowed construc¬ tion. The first day of school began with more than the usual con¬ fusion. Pavement seemed scarce; and dust, most prevalent. The library was unfurnished; and the gymnasium and auditorium, un¬ finished. Bulldozers instead of cars were parked in front of the school, and the driveway resembled “Clay City, U.S.A.” Bright-eyed students filed through bright red doors and were greeted by floor cleaners, carpenters, and strange teachers. Finding their respective homerooms was the first hurdle to jump. Instructed to search the doors of the classrooms until they found their names, the students went their w r ays looking for their 1962-1963 homeroom and making history for Hunter Huss High School. Finding the homeroom was not so easy; for most students stood bewildered at the sight of seventy teaching stations arranged around what seemed a barren plot of land. (Later through the efforts of the science department it became an attractive courtyard I. A homeroom claimed, the new student com¬ pleted test one of the active school year. 18 Stopping by Mrs. Maracek’s room, two sophomores eagerly search for their names on the homeroom list. ■fr A; _ :rr Landscaping of the courtyard had not yet begun on the opening day of school. Under the direction of Mr. Richard Stroupe, the grounds of Huss later revealed green grass and shrubs. On August 29 , 1962 I 19 Mr. Hunter Huss, Superintendent of County Schools, leads fifteen schools as he promotes effective educational policies. Thinking over the day’s activities, Mr. Rob¬ bins pauses for a glimpse into the courtyard. As Huss’s first guidance counsellor, Mr. John Beam spent many hours organizing records, arranging schedules, and counseling students. 120 Miss Brenda Falls, school secretary at Huss, contributed her daily efforts to organizing office operations. Capable Administrators Plans to Set High Sc. Meeting the student body that historic day was head administrator, Bartley E. Robbins, coming to Huss from Sun Valley High School in Indian Trail, North Carolina. Although he was a stranger to the student body, Mr. Robbins was no stranger to secondary education • and the academic and social needs of today’s teenager. Nurturing plans for the 1962-1963 school year since June 19, 1962, the new principal began actuating those plans. Heading a faculty and staff of 33 and a student body of 816, Mr. Robbins was aided by secre¬ tary, Miss Brenda Falls, and guidance counsellor, Mr. John Beam. The first student body consisted of only the ninth and tenth grades. Thanks to the able leadership of Mr. Robbins, Huss was spared many growing pains that many new schools normally undergo; and after the opening day, the school year was not at all confusing. Students and teachers soon settled down to take advantage of their e ducational opportunities. Both the student and faculty pioneers of that first year of Huss can fondly recall practices that today are non¬ existent. Who could forget the fifteen-minute break at 10:30 a.m. each day and the forty-five minute lunch period? To accompany each of these privileges were candy, crackers, coke, and ice cream Promoted from teacher to assistant principal, Mr. Doug Elmore was found daily involved in student activity during the 1963-64 school year. initiate Effective lastic Standards machines in the Student Center. Also there was a forty-five minute homeroom study hall each day. The Huss pioneers of that first year can also remember twenty-five-cent lunches, huge wooden rockers in the Student Center, and Ashley bus drivers. As every new school must. Hunter Huss High School busied itself setting tradition academically and extracurricular-wise. In order to give leadership opportunities to the students, a student government was organized and put into effect. The first governing body was known as the Student Council, headed by Danny Fort, president; Grayson Russell, vice president; Nancy Adams, secretary; Jean Pate, treasurer; and Mr. Eugene Kincaid, sponsor. These officers were elected from among homeroom representatives that composed the council. This organization in its service to the school set up a moni¬ torial system to regulate traffic in the halls. Another extracurricular organization was the Guidance Club led by Mr. John Beam, guid¬ ance counselor. These students did much to organize the vocational and college reference section in the guidance office. (L. to r.) Shelia Barkley, Robbie Woodall, Gary Mullinax, and Lana Justus enjoyed rocking to music during the morning break. Upstairs B-hall was off-limits during the first year of school. School custodians were busy polishing floors as school opened. As a member of the Student Council, Nancy Adams served as a monitor in B-hall. Since the first Huss students were not of age to get a driver’s license, school buses, transporting over 400 students, were driven by such Ashley bus drivers as Sammy Price. Coaches Leonard Campagna and LeRoy Sellers (from 1. to r.) trained the first Huskie football squad.

The first junior varsity squad was without a home field; therefore, practice was held on the Victory School field. Coaching the team was Mr. Leroy Sellers, assisted by Mr. I eonard Campagna. Coaches Sellers and Campagna be¬ gan training their boys to adequately meet the strong compe¬ tition their opponents would offer. They had to merit the name of their mascot—the Huskie dog, given to them by the 1962-63 student body. In the bright Carolina blue and white uniforms, they very proudly bore the name of the Hunter Huss High School Huskies. With a favorable season, these same Huskies began making a name for themselves and their school in competitive sports. Cheering the team to victory were the charter cheerleaders of Huss led by chief cheerleader Susie Buchanan. An unidentified Huss player flattens an Ashley blocker and causes No. 18 of Ashley to fumble the pigskin. 123 Coached by Mr. Leonard Campagna, rear center, Huss’s first basketball team—no. 32, R.

Due to an incompleted gym, the newly organized Huss basketball team again had to leave their premises for both practice and games. Coach Leonard Campagna and the bas¬ ketball Huskies were found daily practicing in the Y.M.C.A. gymnasium. For a new bas¬ ketball t ain, Huss completed a favorable sea¬ son. Mr. Doug Elmore, Huss faculty member, with a wrestling team of 30 members intro¬ duced a new sport to the athletic program of G astonia. This sport of strength and skill pro¬ vided a challenge to the young athletic aspirants at H uss. Gaining wrestling skill daily in prac¬ tice, the team converted the shop rooms in E- Hall into wrestling quarters. Wrestling season for that year ended on February 22, 1962, with Huss competing against Garinger of Charlotte. A complete look at the season reveals a record of 4 wins, one tie, and 9 losses. This was no poor season for a team composed of only fresh¬ men and sophomores who competed against sophomores, juniors, and seniors. To their cred¬ it was added the defeat of Myers Park, state wrestling champions.

The All-American sport of baseball welcomed the skill of those Huskies who were excited by the smell of genuine cowhide and the feel of a good Louisville Slugger bat. Mr. John Beam trained the talents offered by the baseball Huskies that first year. Track, under the direction of head football coach, Leroy Sellers, chal¬ lenged other Huskies that season. These boys could regularly be seen running around Wesley Park on their daily jaunt. These first sports seasons introduced a new club to the Huss extracurricular—a letterman’s club. Entitled the “H” Club, it had as its members those boys who participated in at least half of the games played by their respective sport. Those charter members of the club can remember vividly the extra stamina they had to solicit to undergo those first initiations. Soon after this, another of the students needs was realized. Freedom of the press was being practiced daily by the American student—but not at Huss High School. An outlet for student voice and journalistic talent was needed; thus, a school news¬ paper entered the Huss student world. Students excelling in the art of composition were selected by the English faculty to com¬ pose the first newspaper. Entitled The Huskie Tales, this first newspaper was mimeographed and was under the sponsorship of Miss Brenda Penley. The first newspaper staff will avow that learning to type and producing a mimeographed newspaper at the same time did not make an easy task. Completion of the buildings at Huss came late in the school year. Off-limits to the students that year were the upstairs “B” Hall, the gymnasium, and the auditorium. However, with the ar¬ rival of spring came the unveiling of the beauty of the Huss Au¬ ditorium. The climax of the year fell on Friday, March 15, 1963, at 8:00 p.m. when Gastonia’s newest educational endeavor was 26 dedicated to the needs of the questing American youth. Dr. Charles Carroll, Superintendent of Public Instruction of Nortl Carolina, was guest speaker for the occasion. Many were presenl that night to applaud the dedication of the view school and tc view the largest school under one roof in Nor h Carolina. With March also came the beginning of the annual science fair. Science students submitted projects to be considered for entrance in the Piedmont Science Fair held in Charlotte, North Carolina. Winning at Huss were Steve Dickson, first prize; Henry Bess, second prize; and David Boyd and Billy Carter tying for third prize. Student Council elections for the next year and the adoption oi the student government constitution were among the last of the extracurricular activities of the 1962-1963 school year. After a thorough discussion of the new constitution by the entire faculty and student body, the constitution was put into effect. The results of the nominations and elections showed Danny Fort re-elected to the presidency and Linda Thomas elected vice-president. Jimniy Price, Terry Morris, Ronnie Spargo, and Benny DeBlois were elected to represent the rising junior class; and Jimmie Stradley. Jane Withers, and John Alexander were elected to voice sopho¬ more opinion on the Council. Freshman representatives were to be elected the following fall after the organization of the new fresh¬ man class. Rounding out the school activities for that first year were the dances given in the student center each month. These dances, sponsored by a selected committee, featured “canned music” al first, but as the year progressed the dances became larger, fea¬ turing well-known local combos. All money raised was contributed to the athletic fund. (Upper) Tension, showing on the faces of the fans and cheerleaders, mounts as Huss is behind in the final quarter of a basketball game.

The completion of final exams marked the close of that first year at Huss. Nine months of vigorous mental and physical activity brought an expected degree of maturity to the 816 Huss enrollees. May 29, 1963, the last day of the school year, set another tradition for Huss High School—that of Awards Day. This day held special meaning for Tony Hill, recipient of the Arthur Spencer trophy for the best athlete of the year. Mr. Sherrill Cranford, As¬ sistant County Education Superintendent, was on hand to present this award. In addition, all sports lettermen received the Carolina blue monograms as well as recognition for their fine participation in Huss’s sports program. Cash awards were presented to the Science Fair winners. End of the Beginning Year Linemen Ghorley, no. 35, and Kelly, no. 39, became two of the first lettermen to be initiated into the “H” Club. This was the end of the beginning. Fortunately for both the school and the students, there was no graduation; therefore, Huss was able to retain those students who had cooperated to give their alma mater service that was building both theirs and its future. On the last day of school the stu¬ dents were wearied—but yet bright-eyed—because there was the promise of a new year—a new chal¬ lenge. Hunter Huss High School was no longer a figment of the future, but it was now a vitality to the progress of Gaston County, North Carolina, and the United States of America. During the first year at Huss, drink and candy machines pro¬ vided refreshment during the morning break. Danny Fort was the first to be elected as president of the student council. At 3:10 students raced to the buses as they were homeward bound. Expansion Keynotes Second School Year; The challenge of the 1963-64 school year at Huss was met by a student body of 1249. and a faculty of 53 on August 28, 1963. Vi ith the maturation of the former sophomore class, a junior class was added. School administration was expanded by adding Mr. Doug Elmore as full-time assistant principal. New faces among both faculty members and students were widespread the first month of school. Newness soon wore off as friends and acquaint¬ ances were made, and bewildered freshmen began feeling at home in their new scholastic environment. Expansion characterized this new year to the returned student and faculty members. Schedules had been issued to the students prior to the opening day. and the first day progressed smoothly. New teachers, new subjects, new classmates, and new activities were met as the new school year got undenvay. In addition ad¬ justments had to be made by former students. It seemed some¬ what difficult for them to get accustomed to the ten-minute breaks and the thirty-minute lunch period. In addition they missed the twenty-five-cent lunch and the beckon of the vending machines once located in the Student Center. Teachers wasted no time in beginning the 1963-64 academic ca¬ reers of the Huss student body. The Student Council directed the election of the freshman class representatives. Elections were made following campaign speeches of Council candidates. Receiving the highest number of votes, Albert Jacobs was elected to represent on the Executive Board as secretary-treasurer of the Council. Con¬ nie Cannon, Kandy Bradley, Harold Hayes, and Jimmy Beam- guard were designated also to voice freshman opinion on the Council, sponsored by Mr. Leonard Campagna. Carrot Crunch Day was an enjoyable effort of the Council. To meet the demands of the enlarged student body and faculty, The contestants in the first Miss Huss Pageant were as follows: (1. to r.) Phyllis Price, Becky Leigh Lynch, Jean Young, Susan Sherrill, Jimmie Stradley, Kim Hunter, Frankie Jacobs, and Kandy Flowers. Nbsent were Linda Thomas and Billie Ann Kendrick. new plans were being adopted for volume two of the Huss news¬ paper. No longer was a mimeographed paper considered adequate. Working third period daily on the second Huskie journalistic ef¬ fort was a group of dedicated students led by editor-in-chief- Paul Mauney and sponsors Mrs. Brenda Hewes, Mrs. Sue Sellers, and Miss Janet Carriker. As a result, on November, 1963, a large printed newspaper bearing the name THE HUNTER met the approval of the student body who eagerly reached for individual copies. Bob Bulter bore the business brunt of the new HUNTER. Student voice reached a pleasing and accepted peak as a result of this publication. An installation program for the first scholastic club at Huss was held in the auditorium later in the semester. Officers of the Beta Club w T ere Benny DeBlois, president; Jimmy Price, vice-presi¬ dent; Freida Price, secretary, and Brenda High, treasurer. Miss Diannah Champion served as sponsor. Forty-three members were inducted into the club. Selection was based on scholastic ability and character. Also organized during the first semester was the Huss chapter of the Distributive Education Clubs of America—better known as DECA. Sponsored by Mr. DeWitt Carriker, this organization sought to integrate both on-the-job experience and in-the-classroom training. This was done in the club meetings and the varied ac¬ tivities of the club. At their annual “Bosses’ Banquet”, ' held in the school cafeteria, a gift of the American and North Carolina flags was presented to the school. In addition, attendance at district and state conventions was practiced. Heading the club were Rich¬ ard Black, president; Judy Posey, vice president; Sherry West¬ brook, secretary; and Richard Childers, treasurer. National Tragedy Postpones First Miss Huss Pageant As the school year progressed, the students passed many hours within the walls of Hunter Huss High School. Some of these hours were carefree and filled with fun. Some were more serious and were filled with responsibility and the necessity of growing up. New friendships were made and enjoyed, and life (as it was) presented itself for acceptance. Not everything was easy to accept. This proved especially true on Friday, November 22, 1963. It was a day of expected excitement at Huss. For months a number of students and faculty members had been preparing for the dead¬ line of Friday, November 22—the day that the first Miss Huss High was to be crowned. However, there was no excitement in the air that night among the Huss population. Instead there was mourning, and a feeling of uncertainty keenly felt. It was this day that grief and fear gripped the Huss student as he listened to a radio an¬ nouncer over the intercom tell his audience: “President Kennedy has been shot!” Chills ran over everyone as students and teachers alike sat—not any one speaking or moving until the word came: “President Kennedy is dead.” The challenge of maturity was then offered to the Huss student. This challenge was met with silent prayer for the family of the president, the fate of the American nation, and the future guidance of the man who would soon be sworn in as the new President of the United States of America. Not to be forgotten was the man who inflicted the death wound to the Presi¬ dent. Where did he fit in among the American population? For whom did his gun speak? A new precedent was set on December 2, 1963, for Huss High with the crowning of the first “Miss Hunter Huss High”. It was on this night amid an atmosphere of anxiety and awe, that Miss Becky Leigh Lynch was chosen to reign as Miss Huss High for the 1963-1964 school term. Becky, a sophomore, was crowned by Mr. Robbins. Along with the other contest¬ ants—Susan Sherrill, Kim Hunter, Linda Thom¬ as, Jimmy Stradley, Jean Young, Billie Ann Kendrick, Frankie Jacobs, Kandy Flowers, and Phyllis Price—Becky competed in street dress, evening dress, and talent competition. For her talent she presented a soliloquy entitled “1001 Snaps.” First runner-up was Billie Ann Ken¬ drick, who played a piano solo, and Jean Young, vocal soloist, was selected second run¬ ner-up. sassination.

The familiar faces of Coach Sellers and Coach Campagna could be seen by the fans on the sidelines as they cheered the junior varsity players to victory. A freshman team, coached by Mr. Bill Briggs, showed promise for the upcoming varsity squad. Huss’s second football endeavor unveiled 7 wins, 0 ties, and 3 losses. The highlight of the season occurred on No¬ vember 6, 1963, in the Ashley stadium when the Ashley junior varsity played underdog to the Husk¬ ies. The resulting score was 13-0. Happiness reigned in Huskieland. A new personality to the sports scene for Huss was Mr. Russ Clark, head basketball coach. Codfch- ing jayvee basketball was Mr. Bill Briggs. A new gym constituted the home of this year’s Huskies. A vigorous season involving time, energies, and skill Gene Lewis, No. 45, of Huss finds a hole at the 50-yard line and races for a first down as Benny DeBlois, No. 81, of Huss throws a block. on the part of. both students and coaches provided appreciated performance for the expectant fans. A special treat offered by the basketball season was the students-versus-faculty games. .Mas! the poor students then played underdogs to the faculty members. However, if the fans paid close attention to the games, they readily noticed the faculty violated the noted regulations of basketball. Perhaps, they even threatened to keep score in their grade books. The “BVD’s” of Coach Briggs and his team-mates, as well as the clown suit and baby bottles of chief faculty cheer¬ leader. Mrs. Jane Rankin, cannot soon be forgotten. With wrestling come the addition of new equipment and Mr. Mac Welborn, a fprmer Appalachian wrestling star, as head coach. A large blue wrestling mat bearing the head of a Husky imprinted in white was the major addition in the line of equip¬ ment. Huss’s baseball effort was coached again by Mr. Beam, who was privileged to have as an assistant Mr. Murray Cook, kifown to local fans as a valued player of the Gastonia Pirates. Also golf was added to the athletic schedule of the Huskies. The golf team, coached by Mr. Hugh Peeler, completed a successful season with eight w ins and three losses. In January of 1964, an eventful semester at Huss came to a close. Huss’s growth was evident with one glance at the crowded parking lot. a look into a packed auditorium, or an STANDING (I. to r.) are Bill Briggs and Russ Clark, basketball coaches, look¬ ing over athletic schedules with football coaches—Leonard Campagna and Leroy Sellers (kneeling 1. to r.)—as baseball coach Hugh Peeler points to the roster.

This growth was noticed by the surrounding community, the city of Gastonia, and the state. The students of Hunter Huss High School had placed their alma mater on the map. February ushered to Huss the hootenanny craze, popular the country over. Many student groups participated in these folk¬ singing festivals. A popular Huss group, the “Stripes” were widely known for their talent in this field. The school audi¬ torium was the setting for a number of hootenanny programs. Chosen by the facultv and administration, the charter mem¬ bers of the Huss Junior Civitan and Civinette Clubs were initi¬ ated in February, 1964, in the Student Center. The second an¬ nual Science Fair was held in the school gym in March. Projects in the fields of chemistry and physical sciences were presented along with those of biology and general science. Junior Sherlynn Dixon was announced grand winner by Judges C. W. Hey wood and W. A. Ethridge for her project, “The Effects of Chemicals in Histological Preparations.” Other grand winners were second place, Bill Carter with his “Speech Synthesis” and third Richard Howell with his study on hamsters to answer the question, “What Are the Effects of Hormone Face Cream Containing Estrogen, the Female Hormone, to the Skin?” Winners of the $100 first prize at the Huss-sponsored hootenanny were the “Stripes”—(1. to r.) Susan Fraley, Jean Young, Sharon Whitesides, and Phyllis Moseley. 132 Junior Class Stages Broadway Play, Harvey” “I’m sorry, but you’ve got the wrong num¬ ber,” spoke Charlene Lytton who portrayed Veta Simmons in the junior play. After being measured for their class rings, the seniors were eager for school to begin in the fall of ’64. April of 1964 was an exciting month for the Huss jun¬ iors. The time had approached for class ring measurements for the rising seniors. Representatives from the L. G. Bal¬ four Company, known for their outstanding ring manufac¬ turing, brought for the viewers the official ring of Hunt- ter Huss High School. Pride swelled anew when the stu¬ dents viewed the Carolina blue stone of the new ring. In¬ tense anticipation for the senior year was created as stu¬ dents looked forward to receiving their rings in the fall. Again tradition was set! Hunter Huss High School was to have a 1965 annual. Twenty-seven seniors were selected to publish volume one of Huss’s first yearbook. Elected to key editorial positions were Jimmy Price, editor-in-chief; and Beverly Quinn, business manager. The first function of the staff was to select a name for the annual. The staff’s final selection was narrowed to three choices: Panorama, Columbian, and Astron. ASTRON was the selected name of the annual. Plans for the new publication were made immediately. Friday, May 4, 1964, at 8:00 p.m. the junior class pre¬ sented the Broadway comedy, Harvey, in the school audi¬ torium. This three act comedy concerning a bachelor and his bosom-buddy Harvey, a white, invisible rabbit, six feet tall, had as male and female leads Jimmy Price and Char¬ lene Lytton.

The rising seniors looked forward to the summer with mixed emotions. The beginning of the next year would mark the beginning of the end of their high school days. They would be the first graduating class of Hunter Huss High School. The remaining portion of the student body had an elevation in classification awaiting them—the thrill of new experiences beckoning to them. A world is not built in a day. Two years had passed since the opening of Hunter Huss High School, and the creation of a new student world. Now this world had developed—two years of growth took place. Out of the calm came glimpses of new horizons. And in order to reach these horizons came the instruction and nurturing of faculty and friends of Hunter Huss High School—the molding center of its students’ lives. 136 Posing for photographer in the above picture were the charter members of the Huss Beta Club.

The End of the Beginning 137 Among the 1500-plus population of the Huss world abound personalities of varied na¬ tures. The friendships, responsibilities, steady instruction of this scholastic world help shape attitudes, mold character, and build maturity. It is the sum total of these characteristics that distinguishes one individual from another and makes his personality distinctive. The day-by-day rotation of our world finds the spotlight focused on personalities that have been distinctive in the progression of our school vear. From time to time this year we have been indebted to those personalities that have high¬ lighted Huss activity by giving of their talent and their service. Those featured in this sec¬ tion are not by any means the only distinctive personalities at Huss, but they will serve as representative of the student body. Their con¬ tributions to the school year merit their share of the falling spotlight. Personalities Sherry Diehl Merits Attired in formal dress, both contestants and escorts wait patiently as judges take one last look before casting tbeir votes. Standing over twelve feet tall, the clown added cheerful and colorful atmosphere to the pageant theme, “Life Is A Carnival.” Contestant Camellia Beauchamp enjoys life on the midway in the opening pageant scene with escort, Bill Clem- mer.

Eyes cast backstage during the pageant found Guy Threkeld and Mike Lynch busy directing stage lighting. As dusk fell and Huss highlights ascended in the school auditorium on the evening of November 21, 1964, excitement, anxiety, and eagerness mounted among the contestants and audience of the second annual “Miss Huss High” pageant. Climaxing the evening’s activities was the crowning of the new “Miss Hunter Huss High School.” Following the judges decision, Miss Sherry Diehl, claiming the official title, walked the Huss ramp wearing the regal Carolina blue and white robe and glittering tiara.

Song to Pageant The “Miss Huss Pageant” introduced to its audience Huss’s answer to the Annie Oakley of the early West—Miss Camellia Beauchamp, Contestant No. 2. Singing “You Can’t Get a Man with a Gun,” she was attired in the traditional western dress. A two-piece black and white checked ensemble was worn by Camellia in street-dress competition. Compet¬ ing in the evening-dress competition, she wore a floor-length dress of pink brocaded satin. A senior at Huss, Camellia is a commercial arts major and a clerical assistant for the ASTRON staff. Camellia in her Annie Oakley at¬ tire, forcefully de¬ clared to the view¬ ers that “You Can’t Get a Man with a Gun.” 146 I ■ The above picture shows Nancy in her talent ren¬ dition of “I Enjoy Be¬ ing a Girl”. Bev Pleases Audience With Mechanical Doll Dance sports events. Contestant No. 5 danced mechanically as she, Beverly Swanson, pleased the audience with her portrayal of a mechanical doll. Escorted by senior, Charlie Kenley, Bev competed in evening dress and street-dress competition, wearing a gown of white embroidered organza. Five feet seven inches tall, she possesses poise and beauty that betrayed any “butterflies” she may have solicited for the pageant. Bev’s extracurricular activities consist of participation in the Pep Club and Future Scientists of America. Nancy Portrays Typical Teenage Girl A living example of “I Enjoy Being a Girl,” Nancy Adams as Contestant No. 3 portrayed the typical teenage girl as she pantomimed the recording by Doris Day for the talent portion of the pageant. Nancy, dressed in a two-piece wool dress of tweed weave, featuring a sheath skirt and blouson waist, and later in a chiffon evening dress of peacock blue, with a sequinned bodice, received a warm reception from her audience as she walked the ramp. Nancy’s smile is familiar in the halls of FIuss, where she daily enters into school life, chatting with friends, circulat¬ ing the Hunter, and attending classes. In addition she may be seen in the familiar varsity cheerleader outfit at all Bev, in her expert mechanical motion, made herself an au¬ dience favorite with her dance, entitled, “The Mechanical Doll.” 147 Jean Sings Well-Known Ballad “ People ” Jean Young, wearing a sheath of black velvet, approached the microphone with poise and sang the familiar ballad, “People,” for an audience of 1400 . Named second runner- up in the 1963-64 pageant, Jean used her contest experience well. In a dress of green-gold wool and in a robin egg blue gown, she rated approval from her receivers. Following journalistic interests, Jean gives her time and energies to both the Hunter and the Astron staffs. Also she is a member of the Huss choral group and treasurer of the F.T.A. In a formal gown of robin egg blue, Jean offered eve¬ ning-dress competi¬ tion well worth the judges’ considera¬ tion. Sandra Displays Talent at Piano In the talent competition Sandra Allen, Contestant No. 8, entertained a receptive audience as she described the plight of a pianist who only knew one song, “Three Blind Mice.” Playing this same song for a church service, funeral, school assembly, waltz, and modem dance, she made “the mice run with reverence, dignity, swiftness, and a beat.” Ap¬ pearing in a two piece suit of grey checked wool, and an evening gown of white and shocking pink satin with a bodice accented with frosted sequins, Sandra was escorted by Jimmy Price, Huss senior. A member of the Monitorial Council, Chorus, Pep Club, and F.T.A., Sandra finds life not only busy but interesting. The radiance on Becky’s face the night of the pageant charmed not only the judges but also her escort, Johnny Con¬ nor. Becky Plays Organ Solo Becky Ratchford, talented organist, played an instrumental solo, “My Own True Love,” for the listening pleasure of her audience. Appearing in an aqua satin evening dress and brown-olive suit accented with a beige scarf, she met the jud ges’ eyes with approval. Aspiring to be a dental hygienist, Becky works daily to¬ ward a successful academic goal as she matriculates at Huss. In addition she contributes services to the Hunter, the school newspaper. Camera Captures Pageant Atmosphere A candid camera caught Nancy Adams, Connie Cannon, and Jean Young making use of “primp time” between acts. A near capacity audience viewed Huss’s sec¬ ond annual beauty pageant. Curtains opened at 8:00 p.m. on pa¬ geant night revealing a bevy of pretty girls and their escorts in the Mid¬ way. In the background is a chorus singing “Come to the Fair. Complimenting the pageant was the Huss Vocal Chorus. Danny Denton and Jean Young meet their audience with fixed gazes. ■ 149 Dreams are realized some¬ times. This I did not believe until I saw a real Statue of Liberty, standing in New York harbor, and real, huge. grey, impressive sil¬ houettes of skyscrapers, with a big red sun rising behind them. Before coming here. I had some ideas of America in my head— huge farms of the West with cow¬ boys (I have not seen one yet); tall, blonde-haired boys chewing gum all day and wearing a crew cut and blue jeans: rich eccentric people driving either pink or apple- green cars . . . Now I know that those were only false impressions which did not characterize all the L nited States. Naturally I found differences in .America, and at first I was tempt¬ ed to compare and judge every¬ thing according to French ideas and habits. I wondered why churches gave parties which had nothing to do with religion. I was astonished at the variety of extra¬ curricular activities that American schools offer their students. But gradually, I began to understand that church is not the place to worship only and school not a place to study only but study and worship are so included in the daily life that they become a place of social activities also. Thus I re¬ alized that instead of judging I should discover America from the “inside” and find out the “why’s” f everything in order to under¬ stand and learn. But the most important thing I found and appreciated is real, wel¬ coming, friendship and help from evenbody that makes one feel so good when he is away from his home and his country. I just feel like one of the students of the school, a daughter and a sister in my American family, and a friend among the people I meet. I shall never, never forget any¬ thing of what I have learned and lived this year. Thank you for let¬ ting me share this year with you.” 150 French Miss Captivates Campus Warm and full of laughter, Michele Boin brought to Huss not only a beau¬ tiful French accent but also a true and living picture of another country. Michele is now a part of Huss, and it, a part of her. Michele, christened Michele, Mo¬ nique, Odile Boin, was the first of four children born to George Antoine Boin and Marie Danielle Boin. Two brothers, Jean-Marc, age ten, and Jean- Pierre, age fourteen, and one sister Martine, age sixteen compose the rest of her family. Her father is the Com¬ mercial Manager of Bonne Presse a French publishing house. On sunny days Michele often left her home in Boulogne, a suburb of Paris, and vis¬ ited the Louvre, rode to the top of the Eiffel Tower, or strolled through the many beautiful gardens located around Paris. She arrived in Gastonia on August 16, 1964, and has lived with her Amer¬ ican sister Claudia Polk and her fam¬ ily for the past ten months. On Sep¬ tember 3, 1964, Huss enrolled its first foreign exchange student. Bubbling with life and laughter. Michele quickly won the hearts of all she came in contact with. Quickly ad¬ justing to the American way of life and its teen-age population, she has become a true Huskie. A veritable storehouse of energy, she participates in many club activities and attends al¬ most all school functions. Michele loves football, basketball, and all oth¬ er sports, and is often seen leading the cheering sections at the games. Dancing and listening to records, both French and American, are two of her favorite pastimes. Michele, as the French reputation goes, is a very good artist. Most of the art work in the 1965 ASTRON was done by her. She sings and has been learning to play the guitar while in this country. Interested in music, both French and American, Michele and Claudia spend leisure hours listening to records. By noting the expression on Michele’s face, one would think studying is nothing but pleasure. Astron Announces Seniors Superlative and All-round Achievement Seeking adventure in the biology lab is SHERLYNN DIXON, prospective science major. With a science entry entitled, “The Effects of Chemicals in Histological Prep¬ arations,” she was acclaimed the grand winner of the fair during her junior year. Academics A rugged schedule both academically and extracurricular-wise during his three years at Huss has not hampered BOB BUTLER’s per¬ formance scholastically. A glimpse of Bob in Creative Writing class shows that he is employ¬ ing one of the key success factors in learning— concentration. Artistry With ten years of musical training to support her talent exhibition in the “Miss Huss” Pag¬ eant, BILLIE ANN KENDRICK proved that she was no stranger to the piano keyboard. Play¬ ing the “Theme from the Apartment,” Billie Ann impressed judges and audience. 152 Winning talent acclaim for her perform¬ ance in the “Miss Huss” pageants, JEAN YOUNG proved her vocal versatility as she sang a medley of seasonal songs her junior year and a ballad her senior year. During the 1963-64 hootenanny craze she was often heard with the folk singing ensemble— the “Stripes.” Attainment As Elwood P. Dowd—“Harvey’s” aest friend in the junior class play, [IMMY PRICE proved another of his capabilities. His willingness to work, tmbition to succeed, and consideration jf others challenge fellow students and serve as an asset to the school. n Academics, Artistry, Attainment, Athletics. r Athletics MIKE DENTON may be seen at various times during the year sporting a Carolina blue and white letterman’s jacket, a Huss football jersey, a baseball uniform, a white shirt and tie, or sport shirt, signifying his active roll at Huss. Deemed Most Athletic by classmates, Mike earned this election by extensive service on both baseball and football fields. Choice degrees of both sportsmanship and playmanship are determinants of GENE LEWIS’ athletic contributions. During his junior year Gene was honored by receiv¬ ing both the Arthur Spencer trophy and the “Athlete of the Year” award. ' i Presenting the official class ring to Mr. Hunt¬ er Huss, for whom Huss High was named, was the privilege of DANNY FORT last September upon the arrival of Huss’s first class rings. Danny, during his senior year served his third term as student body president, an honor and a service for which he is to be commended. A winsome smile, an interested and in¬ teresting personality, and enthusiastic lead¬ ership make BEVERLY QUINN the stu¬ dents choice. As Civinette president, Bev may have been found at various times dur¬ ing the year embedded in stacks of dis¬ carded paper diligently assorting them for the Civinette paper drive. All-round Achievement To be congenial, thoughtful, talented, co¬ operative, deserving, and humorous is to be WAYNE KALE. Membership in various clubs, driving a school bus, working at a part-time job, carrying a full academic load, and holding an associate ASTRON editorship rob him of his leisure. 153 H.H.H.S. Salutes Sixteen SENIORS HENRY BESS SUSIE BUCHANAN A high school is no better than its students and faculty. The quality of service extended depends upon the quality of the one serving. It seems that no two people serve alike, and yet, their service is complementary. No two people have the same abilities, interests, or like intentions; how¬ ever, they may combine efforts. Unique to Hunter Huss High School has been the efforts of its first graduating class—the Class of 1965. Having been a “senior” class each year it has been here, this class has provided all the senior leadership the school has had. The students of this class have organized club activ¬ ity, combined efforts to name and pioneer Huss’s publications, worn the first class rings, helped put Huss High on the state athletic map, en¬ deavored to make their school a number one school in the city—all these and more! In short, they have set Huss tradition. BOB BUTLER JUDY CANNON OUTSTANDING in School Service Tradition is not set without intense effort. Service is a result of co¬ ordinated effort. Service is a result of individual ability and interest. Among the 292 graduating seniors are students that have left their mark on Hunter Huss High School—a mark imprinted as a result of unselfish¬ ness with ability, time, and spirit. To sixteen of these seniors, the student body and faculty give special commendation. They are distinguished by their compatibility, dependability, integrity, and contributed service to the school. Outstanding are seniors—Henry Bess, Susie Buchanan, Bob Butler, Judy Cannon, Benny DeBlois, Mike Denton, Sherlynn Dixon, Danny Fort, Brenda High, Arlene Hudson, Wayne Kale, Paul Mauney, Jimmy Price, Beverly Quinn, Sylvia Robinson, and Mike Smith. BENNY DeBLOIS MIKE DENTON SHERLYNN DIXON 155 Senior ; Outstanding JIMMY PRICE BEVERLY QUINN SYLVIA ROBINSON MIKE SMITH 158 As America ' s legacy to the future, the youth of our nation must train to be tomorrow’s leaders. The turning Huss world provides the development of leadership by way of its extracurricular and co- curricular activities. The practicality of our educa¬ tion is made evident as we redirect our knowledge into substantial usage in our organizational action. As a result, stemming from our activities are ex¬ pression. fellowship, and school service. A lighted Huss after school hours and in the evening is symbolic of club activity. A busy school day does not provide time for much of the club ac¬ tivity; therefore, meetings occur later. Candy, light- bulb, fruitcake, Christmas card, pin, frito, HUNT¬ ER. and ASTRON sales raise considerable profit and consume much time. Yelling at ball games, making a score for Huss, writing a news story for the school paper, taking a picture for the annual, planting dogwood trees plus many other actions characterize the contributions of organized activity. Each Huss organization has a purpose; it is hoped that this section xvill show the reader how these organizations have accomplished their purpose and added impact to the 1964-65 school year. 159 FIRST ROW U-r) Mr. Davidson, Cindy Fort, Toni Penland, Randall Lovingood, Sherlynn Dixon, Michele Boin, Betty Clemons, Jean Young, Claudia Polk.

Beta Adds Spiritual Stamina to Daily Curriculum SEATED left to right are Beta officers: Benny DeBlois, president; Pete Swayney, vice president; Andrea Hoffman, secretary; and Brenda High, treasurer. The Beta Club, an honorary academic organization, functioned regularly to add spiritual stamina to the Huss school day as it directs daily devotions over the intercom each morning. Its slate of activities for the 1964-65 school year included serving as host to the county Beta members at the annual Fall Rally held at Huss, purchasing an advertisement to the Astron, and attend¬ ing the state rally held at Asheville. Organized December 10, 1963, this year’s club was under the sponsorship of Mr. Robert B. Davidson and the leadership of Benny DeBlois. The ideals and standards of the Beta Club are best expressed in the national purpose: “ ... to promote the ideals of honesty, service, and leadership among high school students of America, to reward meritorious achievement and to encourage and assist students to continue their education after high school.” “Today our scripture will be Psalm 100,” announces Bobbie Jean Payseur as she begins the devotion. 160 Greenwave Funeral Arouses School Spirit The scream of the dying Frank L. Greenwave awakened even the sleeping sixth period classes at Huss whert his howl was amplified by the school intercom. To the strains of chimes an obituary of this same personage was “enjoyed” the following day. On the night of September 17, 1964, last rites were held for Mr. Greenwave and followed by a joyous procession of Huss students. His body was taken to a vacant lot and cremated in a huge bonfire! The plans and arrangements were instigated and executed by the Huss Key Club International for the edification of school spirit. This “solemn” occasion has been set aside to climax annual School Spirit Week. Boosting school spirit is only one of the activities of the club advised by Mr. Jon Childs, sponsor, and Bill Love, president. They also help the school and community by selling tickets to sports events, periodically cleaning the trophy case, serving as stage hands at the United Fund Kickoff Campaign, making props for the Miss Huss Pageant, and selling American Field Service Christmas cards to aid the foreign exchange program. Proceeds from a club-sponsored dance were used to purchase a North Carolina state flag for the gym. Also found on the gym wall is a “Go Huss” banner contributed by the Key Club. The North Carolina state flag pictured above was a result of the check presented by Bill Love on behalf of the Key Club to Mr. Robbins. Acting as Key Club officers are vice-president, Denny McGuire; president, Bill Love; treasurer, Johnny Alexander; and secre¬ tary, Danny Denton. Mr. Jon Childs serves as advisor. 1st ROW, 1. to r.

Awards Teaching Scholarship Servicing the student body by giving scholarship aid to a prospective education major effort of the Huss F.T.A. chap¬ ter during the 1964-1965 school year. This scholarship of Si20 was awarded to a student who both needed and de¬ served financial aid. Club members raised money for this project by selling Mason chocolate candies. From the $170 raised from the candy sale, $90 was set aside to charter a bus to take 30 members to the Future Teachers Convention that was held in Greensboro. Other activities of the club included Teacher Observation Day, which served as preparation for the later-planned Teacher Appreciation Day. Heading these projects were Arlene Hud¬ son, president, and Mrs. Jane Rankin, sponsor. Miss Plonk, science teacher, played hostess to Charlene Lytton, F.T.A. member, on Teacher Observation Day.

Civinettes Experience Joy of Giving Discovering a most rewarding experience at Christmas, the Civinettes learned that “it is more blessed to give than to re¬ ceive when they sponsored two families during the holida) season. Profits from their Halloween candy sale and their paper drive enabled them to buy clothes and fuel for the fam¬ ilies: however, they did not forget the joys of Santa. Because of the thoughtfulness of the Civinettes, four little boys woke up Christmas morning to say, “Hey, look what Santa Claus brought me!” The Civinettes, consisting of 35 members, has been organized for two years. During this time they have sold candy, Claxton fruit cakes, and A. F. S. Christmas cards. By selling the cards, the girls shared the expense of bringing a foreign exchange student to Huss. These activities have been directed by Mrs. Pat Loggins, sponsor, and Beverly Quinn, president. ROW ONE (]. to t.)

Civitan Profits Go to Foreign Exchange Program Unlike the ordinary line of students headed for the student center at break, the line was doubled, and even tripled, on days when the Jr. Civitans sold Fritos and potato chips. The profit from this continuous sale was used to help with bringing a foreign exchange student to Huss. The 26 Jr. Civitans have also completed other fund-raising activities such as selling Claxton Fruit Cakes and assorted Halloween candy. This club was the only one from Huss to have a unit in the Gastonia Christmas parade. They also con ¬ tributed an ad to the Aslron.

Bus Driver Profits Purchase Carolina Blue and White Jackets “How about buying a case of light bulbs? They’re only $30.00 a case. Sure you need some light bulbs. Aw—come on, buy some light bulbs.” It seemed that the Bus Drivers’ Club would never give up in their effort to light the homes in Gastonia with Westing- house light bulbs. Raising 600 dollars profit, the club purchased the attractive Carolina blue and white jackets that now have become their trademark. Until this year, the bus drivers at Huss had no special recogni¬ tion. Realizing that an organization was necessary, the Bus Drivers Club was formed in October and elected Jimmy Merrill president. They began immediately to raise money for the projects that were to come. Included in their plans was the annual bus drivers banquet at the end of the year. The highlight of the year for the club, however, was the awarding of the bus drivers award at the end of school. Humor seems to prevail in a nightly meeting of the Bus Drivers Club.

If decoded, this message will reveal a somewhat sweetened—“Love and kisses young lady, goodbye.” Whether or not any of the members of the Huss Amateur Radio Club use this expression often is only speculation. Ordinarily the club members close conversations with fellow hams with the usual comments or “Seventy- three”—“goodbye and best wishes”. At the night meetings of the Radio Club the members bring their ham radios and under the direction of Mr. Cecil Baker and Howard Blair, learn how to use their telegraphic equip¬ ment.

Furthers Journalism Interests Dedicated slaves of the written and printed word may be found among the membership of the Huss Journalistic Society. Composed of the Hunter and the Astron staffs, this organization has contributed much to campus life by way of quality publications. Theirs is the effort to keep up with current trends in newspaper work and yearbooking. A formal induction and informal initiations for incoming members, a journalism seminar, field trips, special speakers, and recreation have been 1964-65 H.J.S. efforts to stimulate and gratify journalistic interests and enjoyments. Journalistic careers are stressed as challenges to the creative. Sponsoring the society were Mrs. Brenda Hewes and Miss Janet Carriker, Hunter and Astron advisors, respectively.

Spanish Enthusiasts Form Sociedad Honoraria Hispanica On December 3, 1964, a group of twenty-one students who had excelled in Spanish met to form the Sociedad Honoraria Hispanica of Hunter Huss High School. The setting was the Little Theater decorated in the club colors, red and gold, accented by candlelight. Mrs. Fred Key of Chile was guest speaker at the initial meeting which was entirely in Spanish. The first members were chosen on the basis of a 93-plus average during at least two semesters of Spanish.

Lettermen Jackets Add Prestige to Huss Athletics Contributing monogrammed Carolina blue and white jackets to both the prestige and wardrobes of its club members was the effort of the “H” Club, Huss’s lettermen’s organization. To take the expense burden from the individual member, the jackets were purchased by funds from the club treasury. In order to get the mony needed for such an extensive project, the club has sponsored numerous dances including both the Christmas and Sweetheart Dances. Other money-raising efforts included sponsorship of a “Womanless Wedding” and a student- faculty talent show. By mid-term they diminished their debt of $1700 to $400. Buddy Kelly and Jimmy Yoshino demonstrate a portion of “H” Club initiations.

Under the sponsorship of the Y.M.C.A. of Gastonia, the clubs meet to discuss problems peculiar to the teen years, basing their conclusions on Christian principles. Projects are also planned and promoted at the meetings as Jack Badgett presides over the Hi-Y and Linda Gibson leads the Tri-Hi-Y. Mr. Gleen McCorkle advises the Hi-Y: Miss Grace Jones, the Tri-Hi-Y. Following each meeting, the Hi-Y members play basketball, and the Tri-Hi-Y engage in swimming and other sports offered at the “Y ”. Hi-Y officers for the 1964-65 school year consisted of: ROW ONE (1-r) Gary Black, secretary; Jack Badgett, president; ROW TWO; Eddie Jarvis, vice-president; and Mr. McCorkle, sponsor.

Pep Club — Avid Fans of Huskies Sitting at strategic spots behind the fifty-yard line at the 1964 football games cheering the stalwart Huskies to victory were the students holding membership in the Pep Club. Injecting enthusiasm into their support of all athletic events, Pep Club members have school spirit that is contagious. Arousing pep by way of posters, active participation, and rallies, the club was led by Denny McGuire, president, and Mrs. Dorothy Baxter and Miss Foy Culp, sponsors.

J V Cheerleaders Boost Enthusiasm J.V. Cheerleaders spend many hours practicing after school. Voice-straining practices enabled the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders to coordinate rhythm, spirit, and energy in their efforts to lift school morale. As they worked hard to cheer Huss’s future varsity teams to triumph, the J.V. Cheerleaders built a foundation for school spirit for the following years. Leading this enthusias¬ tic cheering squad were the co-chiefs Connie Cannon and Sherry Queen. Mrs. Dorothy Baxter and Miss Foy Culp aided the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders in their organization. CO-CHIEF CONNIE CANNON CO-CHIEF SHERRY QUEEN 175 ' T SUSIE BUCHANAN NANCY HOUUAND Spirited Cheerleader A bus chartered to an out-of-town ball game pro¬ vides fun and excitement for all except the haggard bus driver. Yet perhaps, he too, with the encourage¬ ment of the cheerleaders, gets into the swing of school spirit for the Huskies as he and his student companions travel down the road. The varsity cheer¬ leaders take the responsibility of arranging for the chartered buses to out-of-town games and collecting the money from the students. Through triumph and defeat, the cheerleaders constantly plug to keep student morale at an all-time high. Chief Susie Buchanan and assistant chief Nancy Holland collaborate to set up weekly practices and to promote school spirit during the various sports competitions. Checking six weeks’ grades and advising the cheer¬ leaders during the 1964-65 school year were Mrs. Dorothy Baxter and Miss Foy Culp.

Astron Staff Publishes First Edition Every man in his lifetime must Ho three things—plant a tree, beget a son. and write a book,” according to the sage Bedouin’s prescription for success. Thus, he contends that ever) one must leave a permanent memento of his life. Huss High had been the scene of much activity during the l%4-65 school year. To capture this life with both pen and camera has been the privilege and responsibility of a group exploring quality yearbooking. Gratifying Bedouin’s theory of success, it has as a result of its effort a book—the 1965 Astron. Combining creative ideas, practical knowledge, and liter¬ al) abilities with energy, enthusiasm, determination, and hard work, the first Astron staff has narrated and illustrated the initial years of Hunter Huss High. Innum¬ erable hours of seemingly endless work, both during and after school and at night, have been spent in editing volume one of the Astron. As ASTRON editor-in-chief and business manager, respectively, Jimmy Price (left) and Richard Heavener (right) have spent many hours financially managing and editing this yearbook. Their extensive work has been becoming to their positions. Left to right are Camellia Beauchamp, Kandy Flowers, Cecelia Huff- stetler, Pete Swayney, and Jane Riddle, Classes editors. However, not all the work was tedious and tiring. Editing and financing the first Astron have made the staff richer in both satisfaction and experience. Laughter, friendship, fun, and work are involved in its editorship. In this volume, copy is indicative of thought; pictures illustrate activities; pages recall memories; each section captures reality; the entire book records a portion of the life of each Huss student. This $8000 publication has exacted concentrated effort and, at times, academic sacrifices on behalf of the staff. Every written word represents pain of thought and intensity of effort; every picture and every page design are results of coordinated dedication. Publication of the 1965 Astron was an attempt of each member of the staff to offer a definite service to the school in return for what the school has given him. Coordinating picture schedules, writing copy, creating page designs, and plotting strategy have all been duties of Wayne Kale (left) and Benny DeBlois (right) as ASTRON associate editors. (Left to right) Bill Seufert (class editor), Arlene Hudson and Brenda High (organizations co-editors), Miss Janet Carriker (sponsor), and Sharon Whitesides (class editor) are caught by the camera in typical action. 178 j Above are Jim Robinson and Sandy Webb, class editors; Michele Boin and Judy Miller, art editors.

The business staff consists of (left to right) Phyllis Lewis, Jane Cleveland, Beverly Quinn, Andrea Hoffman, Frank Wiggins, and Sam Price. Earning commendation from the Astron staff, Mr. Jon Childs, Huss instructor, came to- the aid of the annual by giving his talent and time in the art of photography. i 179 EagerK the first year journalism class devours a Hunter fresh from the press. Hunter Staff Exhibits Journalistic Prowess Sylvia Robinson, Editor-in-Chief, finds her duties numerous, time-consuming, and en¬ ticing. Headlines! Deadlines! Deadlines and more headlines! Work, work, and some play compose the monthly routine of the ever- aspiring Hunter staff! News, features, special features, editorials, and layouts enslave the scholastic journalists who conspire daily in A-12. Thus, another volume of the Huss Hunter pleases its reading audience during an active school year. Lnder the sponsorship of Mrs. Brenda Hewes and the editorial and business management of Sylvia Robinson, editor-in-chief, and Bob Butler, business manager, the 1964-65 Hunter expanded both editorial and business endeavors. A larger number of pages and issues resulted from editorial expansion made possible through increased financial support. Circulation and advertising reached an all-time high. Newspaper make-up, a choice challenge of journalism, absorbs attention of Charlene Lytton picture editor), Harriett Robinson (advertising manager), Paul Mauney sports editor). Serving as the voice of the students, the Hunter not only furnished pleasure and thought stimulation for its readers but also offered expression and vocational training to the writing aspirant. Writing, rewriting, editing, typing, laying out, and proofreading are all involved in the journalistic efforts of the staff. In addition, talents are utilized, abilities developed, and satisfaction attained. Second-year Journalism class works busily to reach the deadline for an upcoming issue of the Hunter. Boh Butler (left) is seen with Mrs. Hewes, sponsor, and Mike Boyd, managing editor, counting the results of newspaper financial prowess.

This, too, holds more than a small share of significance as the Huss world turns. Athletics provide many times the most exten¬ sive sense of belonging a high school student can feel. Athletics give the high school student enduring memories such that the flame of school spirit and pride does not dim even years after graduation. Athletics generate, many times, an interest in other activities of the school among an otherwise indifferent student body. Therefore, we can only deduce that the terms athletics and high school are highly inseparable. Huss High School has been blessed with out¬ standing teams over and above what a three- year-old school merits. To attempt to mention all of the major accom¬ plishments alone would require more space than can be allowed in this yearbook. So, instead of looking back on the past with a proud stare, we look to the future and yet cannot comprehend the honors which shall surely come to Huss High with the passing of time. 183 LEROY SELLERS Athletic Department Head Coaches Oversee Strong Athletic Program Placing Huss on the state athletic map has been the primary concern of the 1964-65 coaching staff. Headed by Athletic Director LeRoy Sellers, die staff consists of Coaches: David Jones, Hugh Peeler, and Mack Welborn. Coach Sellers, former Cherryville mentor, has a unique philosophy as a coach, for he considers discipline administered to an athlete as part of a boy’s maturing into adulthood. The coach is very satisified in his position, considering it one of the most satisfying professions a person can enter. He is impressed with the possibilities Huss team have shown in the past three years. A new face in Huss athletics during this school year was basketball coach David Jones. Coach Jones starred in the sport he now coaches at Western Carolina College at Cullowhee. He comes to Huss from a previous position at Sylva-Webster High School in western North Carolina. Coach Jones believes and teaches that the only way to play is to play to win. Despite the losing record this season, his philosophy should produce winning teams within the near future. The coach attributes inexperience to the poor season record-wise this year, but he foresees the Huskies ranking high in the 4-A in years to come. Hugh Peeler, head baseball mentor, came to Huss in 1963, and has been successful, not only as a coach of Huskie teams, but also of the Gaston Post 23 Legion baseball team in the summer of 1964. A former legion stand-out himself, the coach also guided the first golf team at Huss to a fine eight and five record. Coach Peeler’s friendly personality makes him well liked and respected by the boys he coaches. If the ability of a coach could be appraised by the success of his team, then wrestling coach Mack Welborn would rate among the best. Coach Welborn comes to Huss from Appalachian State Teachers College where he himself was an outstanding member of the Mountaineer mat team. He, noting the success his teams have had, would like to see more enthusiasm in Gaston County for the sport of wrestling. Coaching the six competitive sports (football, basketball, wrestling, baseball, golf, and track) at Huss were coaches David Jones, Hugh Peeler, LeRoy Sellers, and Mack Welborn (not pictured) 184 1 } Participating in the Huss gridiron competition were ROW ONE (1. to r.)

Football demands someone who is ready to get out of bed at 6:30 a.m., devour only a light breakfast, and plod his way to the practice field when eighty per cent of the population is still asleep. This devotion is tested for thirteen days prior to the opening of school. This was a part of the rugged schedule every Huskie ground through in pre-season practice. Then, before lunch was even settled the same day, it was back to the school for an hour of “skull practice” at 2:00 p.m., followed by two more hours of toughening up by way of grueling drills. Rough? By all means, but this is all part of the discipline to which a boy has to subject himself in order to represent his school for 48 minutes each week on a rectangular plot of earth known as a football gridiron. Conditioning, defense, offense, strength, endurance, and above all, teamwork, are all synonymous with football. When a boy joins a team and sticks it out through the certain hardships which stare him in the face, he is preparing himself in an excellent way for the much more important game of life. There is another side to football, and this is one which concerns every student in a particular high school. School spirit would be unknown in many schools were it not for football, and certainly even here, it is a major contributor to school spirit. A stand full of cheering, proud students is the best inspiration any participant in athletics can .ever receive. It is the expectation and fulfillment of this support which gives football its immediate as well as long range rewards. Without reservation, the 1964 football season can be called a success. The Huskies’ 5-3-2 record could be envied by other school teams. The victories over South Mecklenburg, West Mecklenburg, and North Forsyth, seem to be unique in that they came over high-prestige teams in Huss’s first year of full varsity competition in football. When the final gun sounded in Myers Park Stadium on that fateful October 17, one of the greatest moments in Huss athletic history was experienced. Who would have thought that the Huskies, recognized only as novices in the game of football, could defeat the number two ranked 4-A team in North Carolina—South Mecklenburg. The thrill of that 3-0 win will still be felt for many seasons yet to come. THE ASTRON is now proud to present the 1964 edition of the Hunter Huss football Huskies. Chosen to represent the team as co-captains were end, Benny DeBlois; and halfback, Gene Lewis. 185 ROBBY SPEARMAN—End RONNIE FALLS-Center KENNY BEACH—Tackle Huskies Emerge Victorious in Opener Two touchdowns by halfback Gene Lewis paced the Hunter Huss Huskies to their initial football victory of the 1964 season September 4 over Dallas on the Yellow Jacket turf by a tabulation of 26-13. The Huskies struck for three touchdowns and 20 points in the second quarter, and that margin proved sufficient for the ultimate victory. Lewis’ two i ' D ' s and the one Mike Denton six-pointer, as well as two extra¬ point placements by Ted Cloniger, served to build up the commanding Huss lead in the second quarter. The lone second half score for Huss came on a two-yard sneak by Cloniger. Both Dallas scores came on passes from Hal Mauney to end A1 Culberson. Cloninger carries for first down against Dallas. Huss Offensive Unhindered by Rain Four touchdowns, including one on a 100-yard interception return of a Country Day pass by Gene Lewis, vaulted the Hunter Huss Huskies, September 12, over the second obstacle in their 10-game schedule by an impressive 26-0 score. The Myers Park Stadium game found the Huskies opening up after a slim 7-0 halftime lead, and again led by two Gene Lewis touchdowns turn back the Rebels in fine fashion. Other touchdowns were scored by Mike Denton and end Harry Froneberger. Froneberger did a phenomenonal job of hanging onto five Ted Cloninger passes under very adverse, wet weather conditions. 186 Huss Falters in Second Half September 18 was an historic day in Gastonia prep football circles. It marked the first competition with a varsity tag between Ashley’s Greenwave and the Hunter Huss Huskies. The initial game of the intra-city rivalry was captured by Ashley, 34-0, on the strength of Dickie Gile’s passes and Steve Culbertson’s rushing.. Ashley broke away from the Huskies in the second half after holding a narrow 6-0 halftime lead. The main offensive boost for Huss came through the passing of Ted Clon- inger. Cloninger connected 13 times in 24 tries for 167 yards. Denton drives for yardage against Cowpens. Huskies Overpower West A tremendous defensive charge and superb play from backs Mike Smith and Jerry Barker boosted the Hunter Huss Huskies on September 25 to their first varsity 4-A victory over West Mecklenburg’s Indians. The 14-0 win saw two linemen, converted to backs only 5 days prior, pace the Huskies’ offense to 172 yards rushing. New to the backfield were Mike Smith and Jerry Barker. Another usual lineman for Huss, Bob Hogan, who started at quarterback, intercepted a pass on the West 5 and dashed for the first touchdown. The other Huskie score came on a 4-yard run by Mike Smith. MIKE DENTON- Halfback TED CLONINGER—Quarterback GENE LEWIS—Halfback 187 Str ong Ini on Team Surprises Huss Overcome by a strong Union High football team, the Huskies dropped their second decision of the 196-4 campaign, 37-0. on October 2. Richard Genoble. Yellow Jacket quarterback, led the Union charges as he either scored or was directly involved in three of the scores. Ted Cloninger was die onlv Huss hack who was able to muster any kind of offense for Huss. He accounted for 60 of Huss’s 71 yards rushing. Smith shows fullback determination as he carries pigskin against Clover. Clover Clock Kills Huss in 6-6 Tie The clock ran only a handful of seconds too fast for the Hunter Huss Huskies on October 9. Unable to get off a field goal attempt in the waning seconds of the game, the Huskies had to settle for a 6-6 tie with the Blue Eagles. After a scoreless first half, Clover’s Steve Camp sneaked for one yard to push Clover into a one TD lead. Ted Cloniger likewise sneaked through the middle of the Clover line for one yard to tie the game following a Clover fumble deep in their own territory. Most of the offensive work for the Huskies was handled by halfback Gene Lewis and fullback Mike Smith. PICCI SCHRUM—Guard BOBBY CODY—Center SAMMY HARRIS—Tackle 188 BOB HOGAN-Guard MIKE SMITH—Fullback Husky Power Too Much for Top Rated Sabres A fourth quarter field-goal off the toe of Ted Cloninger sent the Huskies up through the clouds October 17 at Myers Park Stadium as they upset the then number 2 team in the state, South Mecklenburg. Justice was only served in the final outcome as the Huss offense pushed the Sabres around almost at will, while the Huskie defense was equally as alert. Bobby Cody, Sammy Harris, and Mike Smith, among others stood out in the latter department. The Huskies’ powers were verified by their 224 yards rushing and die fact that they held South to a -13 yards rushing during second half play. Huss defense stilts Ashley progress on 35 yard line during the annual cross-town rivalry. Penalties Hamper Huss in Tie Although almost tripling their opponent’s rushing figure, the Hunter Huss Huskies could only manage their second tie of the season on October 30 at Cowpens, 12-12. Mike Smith and Ted Cloninger scored the two touchdowns for Huss, but it was Mike Denton and his 173 yards rushing that gained the prominent offensive spotlight. Many of the Huskies’ drives were hampered by an excessive number of penalties, 106 yards in the wrong direction was the accumulation for Huss in this department. BUDDY KELLY—Linebacker 189 Huss Comeback Falls Short Hunter Huss, Huskies were short on the scoreboard for the third and final time against East Rutherford’s Cavalier November 6 as they lost a 26-21 decision. Trailing 26-7 with 5 and a half minutes left, the Huskies staged one touch¬ down drive which was capped by Jerry Barker’s two-yard run. An ensuing on- side kick was recovered by Huss, and they pushed for another drive toward the Cavalier goal concluded by a nine-yard parr play to back Mike Denton. Mike Smith scored the other Huskies TD in the third period. Smith also gained 139 of the Huskies’ 230 yards rushing. HARRY FRONEBERGER—End BENNY DeBLOIS—End Froneberger shows pass-catching ability after eluding Ashley defender. Win Over Vikings Marks Seasons End Fourteen Huss seniors completed their varsity high school football careers by defeating North Forsyth’s Vikings, 19-6, November 13 in Winston Salem. Two quick third quarter markers proved the difference as the half-time gun sounded with the game tied 6 all. Scoring for the Huskies were Benny DeBlois, on a 46-yard recovery of a fumble, Mike Smith, and Ted Cloniger. The final record for the first all¬ varsity season for Huss in 1964 was 5 wins, 3 losses, and 2 ties, a fine record for any football team. DALE GHORLEY—Guard The first offensive team was as follows: (left to right) Harry Froneberger, Kenny Beach, Boh Hogan, Mike Denton, Bobby Cody, Ted Cloninger, Picci Schrum, Jimmy Yoshino, Buddy Kelly, Benny De Blois, and Gene Lewis.

The Huskies ended their season in a game against East Mecklenburg on February 18, with a 2-18 record. Coach David Jones decided in mid-December to move three sophomores into his starting lineup in an effort to build a contender for future years as a 4-A conference member. Mike Smith, John Alexander, and Ronnie Barnes are the three sophs on which future Huskie hoop hopes hinge. Leading the point parade this trip was senior guard James McCurry, who also acted as a team “quarterback” in the Huskies’ offense. A better §eason record-wise is predicted by Coach Jones for next year as the result of his invasion of the J.V. ranks. The 1964-1965 Hunter Huss Cagers were (left to right) FRONT ROW: Albert Jacobs, James McCurry, Danny Fort, and Tom Cloninger.

J.V.’s Develop Caging Potential Coach Hugh Peeler’s Hunter Huss J.V. basketball team, although “robbed” by the varsity of three of its sophomores, still maintained the depth necessary to play consistently well. After the departure of John Alexander and Ronnie Barnes from the J.V. squad, forward Bill Hannon and guard Bobby Gallagher picked up the slack effectively. The J.V.’s won two games, as did their varsity counterparts, but against different opponents. Little Huskie wins came at the hands of Harding and Shelby. The Little Huskies were short on height except for the center post wh’ch was alternately filled by two men of ample height—John Camp and Mike Gibson. Hustle and desire made up, to a degree, for this disadvantage, as the J.V.’s were in there fighting right up to the final horn despite ending up on the wrong end of a close score. A J.V. team builds a future varsity squad, and Hunter Huss has reason to be enthusiastic over the efforts of the Little Huskies.

Matmen Rate No. 1 in Piedmont We ' re No. 1 was the spirited feeling generated as the cries and screams of victory echoed from the walls of the North Mecklenburg gym. The Huss wrestling team walked away uncon¬ quered for tire ninth consecutive time in a nine match season, February 12. 1965. The 1964-65 matmen had the unique honor this year of giving Hu-s Hich its first undefeated, untied athletic team. To attempt to highlight the season would be impossible, because in effect the season as a whole must lie considered significant. Nevertheless, the Huskies ' toughest match and sweetest victory definteh came over the Myers Park Mustangs, with whom diey had been running head-to-head as tops in this part of the state until their clash on February 5. Myers Parks grabbed a quick lead and held it down to the final two events of the evening, those in the 197-pound class and the heavyweight class. The Huskies trailed. 25-16, going into these matches, but would score five as the result cf a forfeit in the heavy class. The entire match hinged upon whether Huss’s big 197-pound class mtn, undefeated Mike Smith, could pin his Mustang opponent. That he did, and as the scoreboard read 26-25 in the Huskies ' favor, the Huss gym was thrown into a “frenzied delirium.” The Myers Park match was not the only important win of the season, for 31-32 and 28-16 wins over Garinger, and a 27-33 conquest of South Mecklenburg should not be forgotten. Two Huskies finished the regular season undefeated, namely Steve Dickson and Mike Smith. Smith won on nine consecutive pins. As the ASTRON went to press the grapplers under the direction of Coach Mack Welborn, were readying for participation in the district and state meets. Regardless of the outcome there, the 1964-65 grapplers must be recognized as the outstanding team in Piedmont North Carolina, and certainly in the soul of school spirit at Huss High, they’re truly No. 1 statewide. Pictured with Coach Mack Welborn (center) are (left to right) matmen: Gary Black, Jackie Drum, Steve Dickson, Lee Freeman, Vince Smith, Bob Hogan, Sammy Harris, Buddy Kelly, Ken Beach, Mike Smith, and Bobby Cody. Overjoyed, Coach Mack Welborn grasps Jackie Drum after his crucial win over his opponent in one of the decisive matches. Following the outstanding win over Myers Park, Coach Welborn poses with two of his winning grapplers, Steve Dickson and Buddy Kelly.

Dickson Displays Excellence A Huss rival, rooting for his team and observing Steve Dickson gi’ing through his paces, might describe Steve as a “pint-sized Tarzan. Also after watching his wrestler fall under the will of this same opponent, tlie rooter might wish that Dickson were in darkest Africa. Wrestling in the 127-pound class. Dickson has been labeled by wrestling coach Mack Welborn as extremely fast and perfect in agility, co-ordination, and balance. Steve could also be classified as a scientific wrestler in that he uses his knowledge of wrestling techniques and holds to keep his opponent constantly on the defensive. This proves to be a feat because the 127-pound division is one of the most talent-filled classes in high school wrestling. A strong point of state champion contender Steve Dickson is the take-down. Smith, Dicksoi “Now wrestling in the 127-pound class for the Hunter Huss Huskies is Steve Dickson . . . now wrestling in the 197-pound class ... is Mike Smith.” So rebounds the voice of the announcer from the walls of the Huss Gym. This announcement not only wrings resounding cheers but gives a special stir to Precision, strength, poise, stamina—bywords in the grappling world of Steve Dickson. ♦ With nine consecutive pins, Mike Smith has used superior strength, skill, and endurance. Smith Pins All Opponents Whenever Huss was facing a close match and doubts seemed to be surmounting as to who the victor would be, heavy sighs were heaved as the announcement resounded above anguished concentration . . . “now wrestling in the 197-pound class for the Huskies is Mike Smith.” This one wrestler carried with him students’ faith and assurance that Huss would rise again. Mike Smith faced eight men in the ’65 season, and he pinned eight. He was able to accomplish this because of two assets very seldom found in a single individual; strength and speed. Mike was strictly an offensive wrestler and always charged in for a quick pin. Mr. Welborn stated that to excel in wrestling is to train hard and to give 100% at all times, and this Mike Smith does. Remain Undefeated the Huss school spirit. To be a Husky wrestling fan is to be a close follower of two of Huss’s most outstanding wrestlers —Steve Dickson and Mike Smith. These two mem¬ bers of the undefeated team were undefeated them¬ selves. CT j l w p T � j Climaxing the most momentous win of the season, Mike Smith overpowers his Myers Park opponent for a pin. His decisive five points clenched the match, and moved Huss into the No. 1 slot in the Piedmont. 199 200 Buddy Kelly displays his grappling skills as his score mounts.

Even though they are only in their second year on the links, the Huskies had good reasons to expect great things. Most of the mem¬ bers of the premier squad, which posted an 8 and 3 record, returned again for duty. The golf program this spring was headed by-a new mentor, David Jones, as former Coach Hugh Peeler moved over to coach the base¬ ball team. Some of the boys expected to star on the fairways were Mike Reel, Rill Clemmer, Billy Joe Denton, and Charles Heafner. Home events for the Huskies were to be conducted at Municipal Golf Course in southeast Gastonia. The 1965 Golf Team undoubtedly has taken its place among the increasing number of successful athletic teams at Huss High School.

An All-America City A student world is not successful without the interest and support of a larger—more inclusive world—that of the com¬ munity and city. Student activities may he strategically planned and arranged and yet fail if not properly hacked hy those of the community who carry concern for the teenage population. Projects may he undertaken but fall through if not received by the public. The 1965 ASTRON is a definite proof that Gastonia, N.C., is a city that supports teen-age ef¬ forts. Without the aid of local businesses and patronage of other citizens, the present publication would have been a much smaller volume. A new financial endeavor of Hunter Huss High School, the ASTRON was received by the city with warm interest and substantial support. This $8000 publication is a reality be¬ cause Gastonians were willing to make room in their budgets for advertising in another school yearbook. Students appre¬ ciated the eagerness to help displayed by those who seemed glad to give their advertisements and patronage. Having noted the encouragement of these business leaders toward their en¬ terprise may well cause students to react in the same favor¬ able manner years later. Last May it was announced that Gastonia was selected to be an All-America city—All-American in attitudes, endeav¬ ors, and intentions. We of Hunter Huss High School for ob¬ vious reasons may applaud this truth. A sincere thank-you is extended to all Gastonians for accepting us in its interest and support.

Epilogue As editor-in-chief of the Astron, Jimmy Price was found exploring not only the tops of buildings but also the tops of library bookcases looking for unique pictures and angles wnile instructing the photographer during pic¬ ture schedules. Office of the Astron Hunter Huss High School Gastonia, North Carolina March 5, 1965 Dear Reader, Setting yearbook tradition was the greatest responsibility of the first Astron staff—the 1965 “crew”. However, the number of hours spent in composing copy, making decisions, designing layouts, solicit¬ ing advertisements, and patronage, and capturing with a candid camera Huss people and events did not lessen the honor of being a member of Huss High’s first annual staff. Instead it heightened the involvement and investments of staff sentiment and enegry. Yet, it is realized that the success of this annual is not measured by the involvement of effort, originality of design, or accuracy of detail. If the pictures and copy of the Astron have captured for the student and adult reader the Huss world—its population, tradition, activities, and atmosphere—then we have succeeded. In this edition we have worked to please the Huss reader by providing complete coverage of the school year and to appease the standards of scholastic journalism by injecting principles of quality yearbooking. In detail our objectives in producing this volume of Huss life have been to picture the 1964-1965 school population, to acknowledge the accomplishments and purpose of each organization, to record this year’s sports events, to salute distinctive personalities, to reveal to the public the Huss curriculum and to illustrate teaching techniques, to provide the only written and pictorial record of the first two years of Huss history, and to present to those interested a valid means of public relations medium for Hunter Huss High School. Reader satis¬ faction well afford us accomplishment of purpose. No extensive effort in yearbooking is self-propelled. Dependencies of this year’s annual were many. Thanks to Beverly Quinn, our year¬ book has a name that compliments its contents. It was Beverly who led to the discovery of the name Astron —Greek for star. Patience and cooperation were the key contributions of the faculty, adminis¬ tration, and student body. Recognition is in order for the staff who made use of their compatibility, interest, and efficiency in their ef¬ fort to be accurate and creative in their work. Miss Janet Carriker, our advisor, is to be commended for her determination to see that this Astron be journalistically correct, unique, and comprehensive. Without Paul Mauney’s ( Hunter sports editor) unselfishness with his time and journalistic ability, our sports copy would lack the vivid action it portrays. Mr. Jon Childs, who went beyond the expected to aid the staff with quality photography yet received no monetary pay, merits a special acknowledgment. Mr. Joe Davis, a commercial photog¬ rapher, accommodated the staff with his skill and helpfulness. Mr. Doug Elmore, Chris Barkley, and the personnel of the Gastonia Gazette, Look Magazine, and the local Textile Review contributed pic¬ torial aid that increased our coverage. Mr. John Bruce, our Taylor Publishing representative, offered confidence to the staff with his guidance and occasional “pat on the back.” To all of these and others, may I as editor-in-chief of the 1965 Astron staff extend a very sincere expression of thanks. Yours truly, The 1965 ASTRON 256
