Published by the students of Hunter Huss High School Gastonia, North Carolina Volume Two Like an eternal interlude, today stands forever in the unend¬ ing crusade of time, linking the past and present into an interval of reality. Yesterday, today, tomorrow ... all are eternities within themselves, yet today is an infinity which we cannot escape. It is the stage from which life’s dramas—both the hilarious and the tragic—are enjoyed and endured. In time, the past becomes a memory, the future remains a reverie, but today is always. For 1600-plus of us Gastonians, Hunter Huss High School is our life’s today. Here teens mold into young adults as each takes his step into the baffling world of youth. And though these teen years may seem to move at a haphazard, blistering pace through this gauntlet of time, they are more truly a brief pause in our lives, like the interlude between two themes of a symphony, when the chuckling days of youth are allowed to blend gradually into the steady rhythms of maturity. Today the Huss teen has arrived at this interlude—a time when untainted youth and parental care give to his abilities the chance to ripen and mature. Each becomes an architect of his fate, working within these walls of time . . . some with problems seemingly too weighty to bear ... others with gaiety bound to be shared ... still others with ornaments of greatness destined to be expressed ... all seeking their own. We prosper, we falter, and still we ponder as we dissect life’s inner core, seeking life’s meaning. Impatient, energetic, we conclude that time is a fickled dimen¬ sion. The day may move murderously slow in long classes only to fleet by at pleasurable ball games and dances. Still time con¬ tinues to tick on—uncannily, incessantly. Our deepest pangs and highest joys wane into oblivion with each perpetual movement of the minute hand. We forget yet rely on these memories. It is a harvesting of these memories to which we will later subscribe; for those that environ us are many and meaningful—the shouting and cheering at ball games, the ego-inflation of a first date, the warm companionship of fellow students, and the buoyant feelings of formal proms. (How could these hilarities ever permit the trespassing of loneliness and sadness into our lives!) Time cradles our wounds and approves our glee. The trill and gusto of laughter, the contagion of enthusiasm, the momentum of hope, the depression of disappointment, the distress of tears find a place in our reaction to life. Our lives are enriched by the blunders of our past and the hopes of our future. Our dismal dawns may erupt into evenings of ecstacy. We manifest yester¬ day’s dreams as we dream tomorrow’s dreams. Huss High re¬ verberates with our recollections—our aspirations. The future remains unknown—but unforeboded. Only the omniscience of God transcends the present; yet, we are con¬ tinually preparing for tomorrow. We learn, we comprehend, we grasp—from those tangibles and intangibles we meet: books, teachers, experiences ... We look up ... steps to climb, a fu¬ ture to find. But tomorrow’s attainment is a product of the fore¬ running yesterday and today. Our minds, like time, are constantly in motion, formulating new ideas, re-evaluating, reorganizing, and discarding old ones. We work laboriously raising money for clubs, cramming for tests, practicing for athletic contests, rehearsing class dramas, publishing school journals, struggling with homework. Payday comes via our assurance that our best is our future’s firmest foundation. Unlike today, high school is not forever. Freshmen move in; seniors move on. High school is ending, yet endless. Tomor¬ row’s reflection may cause us to marvel that one interval could contain so much of life. Time’s Interlude 4 i j .

BRIGGS To invest his best is the highest respect one can render. Dedication re¬ quires selfless involuntary giving. To sacrifice time is to expend energies. To involve self is to involve the heart. These prerequi¬ site selfless, sacrificial service. These character¬ ize the investments Mr. Bill Briggs contributed to Hunter Huss High School during the past three years. Today his dividends are student and faculty appreciation and accept¬ ance, warm regards, grat¬ itude, and sincere wishes for the best in life for him. Perhaps, his greatest reward will come in his knowing that he made a permanent place for him¬ self in the hearts and lives of his co-workers and stu¬ dents. Serving a year as teach¬ er, Mr. Briggs received an unexpected mid-year pro¬ motion leavin ga vacancy in Huss administration and a regret in the Huss world. Serving as co-or¬ dinator of student affairs, supervisor of school buses and drivers, and assistant in all other administrative duties, he used his com¬ manding height, steady or¬ ganized involvement, and mounting interest for the school’s best. Yet, para¬ mount to these are the re¬ spect, admiration, and rapport he earned. Symbolizing our belief in him is our naming him the 1966 ASTRON co¬ dedicatee. A member of the Huss Frisky, Flirty Faculty Four, here Mr. Briggs, featured at the micro¬ phone, proves not only his versatility but also his willingness “to be game.” A “World’s Finest” administrator, Bill J. Briggs, is caught here in daily action selling the “World’s Finest Chocolate.” Verifying that no job is too large or too small for his attention, Assistant Principal Briggs hoists the eight-foot chandelier that brought dignity to pageant-setting. 6 Merit ASTRON Acclaim For making a projected dream a project of today, some sixty-three men who have merited the title of Loyal Huskies have won the affection and backing of the student body of Hunter Huss High School. Assuming the responsibility of financing a 4,000-seat stadium, these men, under the direction of stadium Co-chairmen A. R. Rankin and E. F. Gallagher, have contributed long hours to planning and executing organized strategy. With $65,000 to raise in the short span of a month, a building permit to secure, community apathy to surmount, and a proposed court suit to fight, these d eterm ined backers were neither thwarted nor intimidated. Instead monej was raised with surging momentum, increasing enthusiasm among the Huss zealots. Recognizing their wholehearted interest, unwavering concern, noteworthy efforts, productive influence, and complete support, the Huss student body salutes the Loyal Huskies with this 1966 ASTRON co-dedication.

Miss Huss pageant contestant, Connie McLean, pictures teenage grace. Today they A teenager is a mass of slowly dy¬ ing dreams who, seeing not beyond the hill of youth, feels that the more im¬ portant things for which he pines must eventually come to him. Thus, through his unmolested youth which, with enough desire, may easily be trans¬ formed into anything, a teenager be¬ comes the symbol of hope. Aside from being the symbol of hope, a teenager is the symbol of happiness; for being still close to childhood, he may look upon the world with some amount of fresh wonder; and one must admit that even the biggest prob¬ lems, such as those of going steady or being first man on the football team, smack of joy. Adorned in black, Eleanor McArver, one of Frank L. Greenwave’s “paid” mourners, sneaks a smile at the camera. 12 Today for the Huss population is the effervescent yet evanescent teen years! are teenagers: But let us not suppose that being a teenager involves only happiness. For many, the teenage years are ones of emptiness when young blood surges hut in vain, and youth is but another meaningless step toward the grave. Thus, all in all, we must consider even the greatest of teenagers as a tragic figure who, though he feels that he is moving toward some peak in life, is but moving toward that time when his childish emotions must become meaningless and lost in the oblivion of the material world where he is left with nothing but the heartless and use¬ less appendage of age. —Robert Waterson Class of ’66 � Caught in typical teenage action, Cathy Price interrupts telephone con¬ versation to register surprise for the photographer.

Attempting to mold stubborn, impressionistic yet eager young minds, they are motivated by their interest and belief in their students. Even though their words may be met with beams of comprehension or stares of bewilderment they still lecture, expound, and counsel. Sometimes their understanding and patience seem to extend endlessly; sometimes we puzzle at their exaspera¬ tion. Yet each teacher, like each student, is an individual with his own unique ideals, moods, character, and intellect. Whether it be a grammatical rule or simple faith, each has something important for us—if we are willing. Each has found a place in the student world. They are a vital part of our today. dministrative and Counselling Duties Rise “A young school with a young-at-heart administration.” This is Hunter Huss High School. I nder the guidance of Principal Bartley E. Robbins and Asst. Principal Bill Briggs. Huss lias gained a position of prominence in the county and state during its four years of existence. Interested administrations spend a considerable part of their waking hours in school activity. Athletic events, club meetings, pep rallies, plays, ban¬ quets. dances—all these activities require the presence of at least one of them. Without the enthusiasm, zeal, and dedication of Mr. Robbins and Mr. Briggs, Hunter Huss High School may not have the distinction it is now gaining. et, as the Astron goes to press, a change in the administration is taking place. Pro¬ moted to a county-wide position, Mr. Briggs leaves his position to Mr. Robert Riddle, English Department Head, who will also complement his duties there. WILLIAM J.

The Guidance Department at Hunter Huss High School takes an activ e interest in the well-being of the individual student and the student body as a whole. Dr. Margaret Spencer, counsellor for juniors and sen¬ iors, is kept busy ordering PSAT and SAT blanks, send¬ ing in college applications or writing recommendations. Miss Frances Mashburn gives needed counsel to fresh¬ men and sophomores just beginning their high school careers. Mr. Roger Russell, who joined the counselling staff second semester, serves as attendance counsellor. The guidance program at Huss has many purposes. It acquaints prospective college students with entrance requirements, costs, tests required, and courses offered at various colleges and universities. Those students who plan no furtherance of their education after high school are urged Jo take vocational or business courses which Walter Griggs, conferring with Dr. Margaret Spencer, discusses after-graduation possibilities. A cluttered desk, an aspirin bottle, and a life-saver box in a Huss guidance office must be significant! will prepare them to earn a living.

In the American schools the study of English is included annually in the students’ curricula. A higher level of English introducing a new depth of study is introduced with each year’s advancement. Thorough grammar study with side courses in representative literature is offered the freshman and sophomore years, whereas, advanced composition and studies in American and English literature keynote the junior and senior English activity. To cater to a creative English interest, the Huss English curriculum offers enrichment by way of drama, oral interpretation, public speak¬ ing, creative writing, newspaper journalism, and annual production. Through these media the English Department of Huss High School teaches the skills and exemplary mastery of the spoken and written word to hopeful masters of the same.

However, in a world relying more and more on classi¬ fication. identification, and scientific examination of the world’s aspects, mathematics may soon gain an equal footing with the writing and comprehension of the English language. Mathematics began as a form of philosophy gradually progressing through the work of such men as Euclid and Pythagoras into a logical and methodical science. Now it has become the medium of expression for all forms of science. At Huss. the study of basic mathematics is stressed because it is important in the business world and is essential in preparing for the higher forms of mathematics. The student who s bound for full-time employment after graduation has these courses to aid him: consumer, general, and business mathematics. If the student’s future in¬ cludes college, he should enroll in Algebra I and II and Contemporary Geometry. Afterwards he will have the foundation that is necessary for further study in trigo¬ nometry, advanced algebra and, such accelerated science courses as senior physics. The objective of mathematics is more than simply teaching that two plus two equals four, or even that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse, though both facts are essential. Rather, the rewards of study¬ ing mathematics is the ability to think problems through clearly and logically, recog¬ nizing the fallacies and truths in the situations, and finally attaining the solution.

However, only in recently recorded time has man made a concerted effort in the field of science. This organized research has opened a new and exciting era, which has supplied answers to age-old questions as well as supplied courses to the Huss Science Department. The responsibility of imparting man’s newly acquired know¬ ledge to students of Huss High has come to rest on the teachers of the Science Departme nt. With these new facts, ideas, and con¬ cepts of life and the world, Huss students may face life as working adults or a college education, better prepared for the task in either case. RICHARD E.

Biological courses include Biology I and Senior B’ology. The physical sciences have these subjects to offer: General Science, Chemistry, Advanced Chemistry, and Physics. Modern and fully-equipped laboratories are available for all classes. Through these facilities a sophomore may learn the life processes of a frog as he carefully dissects the amphibian, or a senior may experiment in the fields of advanced chemistry or physics. Just as science is an integral part of today’s civilization, it has found a similar place in the Huss curriculum. A student may choose only to visit the sciences to obtain his required two units, or he may stay there throughout his high school education preparing himself for a science major in college or simply an interesting hobby.

So begins the verbosity” of the foreign language students at Hunter Huss High School. The romance of an exotic “tongue” —understanding a new language, people, and country—augments a person ' s general education. In addition, knowledge of a for¬ eign language has become increasingly necessary for college- bound students. A minimum of two years’ study in a foreign language is a prerequisite for prospective students at many colleges. Mastery of a foreign language enables one to enter into interesting and exciting careers, possibly in a foreign land. Through actual contact with different nationalities and races, one will develop a lasting appreciation for other cultures and a clear insight into international problems. The Hunter Huss High School Foreign Language Department offers two years of French and Latin, and three years of Span¬ ish. In French and Spanish the student is first taught to listen MRS. EDITH P. PARKER Duke U niversity Latin I, II, English I Department Head and speak the language through oral drills. Reading and writing skills are developed later. This method of teaching is a com¬ bination of the audio-lingual and traditional methods. With emphasis on reading and writing, Latin students are instructed in the traditional method. Through a variety of activities foreign language students dis¬ cover the history, geography, people, and culture of the countries they study. Latin students find that Roman gods and myths pro¬ vide interesting material for extra-credit reports. Spanish folk- dances present a view of the romantic side of life in Spanish¬ speaking countries. Singing—at least attempting—in French evokes enthusiastic participation from the students. Introducing interesting career opportunities, enabling com¬ munication with those not versed in English, adding to one’s general education, and providing a background for college courses, several years of study in French, Spanish, or Latin will be a valuable investment for Huss High students.

BARNES Western Carolina College Geography Social Study Reveals Man vs. Environment Intrinsic to any high school curriculum is a study into the social sciences. The Social Studies Department at Huss provides one’s education with the state required courses —World History and U. S. History—while branching out into areas of analyzation. Civics and Democracy in Action provide keen insights into the fields of American government. While Civics deals with the mechanics of government. Democracy in Action looks to the applications of governmental procedures in daily life. Geography is offered in the form of a one-half unit credit and gives its students detailed knowledge of the world’s physical aspects. For those people who are financially minded or simply worried about the federal budget, Economics provides a study of the monetary work¬ ings of this country. Teachers in this department strive to do more than furnish their pupils with the who’s, where’s, and when’s. Inherent to the courses are the why’s and how’s of the events also. This added emphasis takes a date or war from the pages of a history book and places it into the imagination of the reader. Thus history is transformed into a “living” thing rather than a dead study of the past. Using the traditional and inevitable lecture method, social studies teachers educate their students. However, added to the learning process are group discussions, in¬ formative films, individual research, and illustrative bulletin boards. 40 JON O.

The basic goal of the course is to guide students in their plans for a future occupation. By way of pamphlets, filmstrips, group discussion, and field trips, students are introduced to the varied occupational fields. In the tenth grade, boys following the vocational courses may enter a shop class centered around the Construction Industry. Emphasis is placed on development of the students interest and aptitude in the field. Carpentry and masonry are skilled courses designed for junior and senior boys. These courses are normally 1080 hours in length. This time is accumulated at the rate of 3 hours per day for 180 days over a two year period. Home economics or business education is the feminine extension of the I. V. program. The aoal of the entire vocational program is an American citizen who ' • ' ' tker i- competent economically, socially, emotionally, and physi¬ cally. A trowel of wet cement, a brick, and an apprentice brickmason, by way of Ralph Mulkie, results in a well- constructed wall. Industrial Occupations As Larry Ensley looks on, Don Beck is engrossed in constructing a gun rack—Beck-style. Shop machinery may only be an object of compli¬ cated nuts and bolts for some students, but for Kennie Strout, it could become a profession. CLAYTON C.

Programs Provide On-The-Job Training Few courses in high school are capable of providing actual and realistic experience in their field of study, because most courses are limited to classroom instruction. The Distributive Education and Industrial Cooperative Training programs at Huss provide unique actual on-the-job training where the student can put knowledge gained through classroom work to use. Various methods are used in the presentation of classroom study. These devices such as projects, films, periodicals, and catalogues give the D.E. and I.C.T. students a new outlook into the fields of distributive and industrial occupations. Due to the joint effort of Huss High and local employers, on-the-job training is provided for Huss juniors and seniors in skilled areas of employment. This affronts the students with experience from both the employee and the management standpoint, as well as preparing them for the careers which they plan to follow. By having young citizens better adapted to responsibilities of earning a living and assuming an adult place in the economic society of today, D.E. and I.C.T. serve both the employer and the community as well as the student. 46 Exploring the art of cooking, Peggy Parrish trains to discover the way to some man’s heart.

DIXON U.N.C. at Greensboro Home Economies I, II F.H.A. Sponsor Understudying the American housewife, the members of ten home economics classes at Huss High seek to become proficient in the art of homemaking. Manage¬ ment of a home includes much more than cooking, sew¬ ing, and cleaning. Along with these talents, the modern homemaker should be informed in child care, good grooming, first aid, and home decorating. The home economics program at Hunter Huss High has been constructed so as to provide ample instruction in these and other areas of home living. These areas of study are necessary preparation for girls who will acquire a home and family of her own in the future. Girls are encouraged to employ their new-found knowledge at home by decorating their rooms, planning and preparing meals, making clothing, knitting, and seeking to improve relationships among family members. Home Economics students—and their future families— will be grateful for the instruction and experience they receive in Home Economics I and II. MISS F. ANNETTE GARRISON A.S.T.C.

ISLES North Carolina College Librarian Searching for a book in which to invest his leisure, Freshman Roy Craft pauses to make sure he has found the right one. Library Houses With stud hall comes the inevitable question ‘Teacher, may 1 go to the libra- n ? ' The reasons are varied, hut the ob¬ jectives are the same—a place of quiet study where one ma read magazines or hooks, studv for a next-period test, or do research on a term paper. Having modern furnish¬ ings. up-to-date architecture, excellent light¬ ing. and the latest equipment, the Huss li- brarv has an atmosphere conducive to peace¬ ful study. Still the jobs of librarians Morris Davis and Mrs. Iranthea Isles do not end at this point. Following the alignment of today’s high school libraries, the Huss library has become a storehouse of educational appa¬ ratus for teachers. Faculty members may obtain tape recorders, film strips, projectors (motion, opaque, and overhead), record plavers with records, popular magazines, reference material, and hooks from the li- hrary’s source of equipment. After four years of existence, the library is still below its hook quota of 16.000 vol¬ umes despite help from school clubs, busi¬ ness firms, and interested individuals. The future of Huss High s accreditation may be threatened if the 7.000 hooks on hand are not more than doubled in the following years. Succeeding classes will undoubtedly find the Huss library not only a source of equip¬ ment and reference material but also com¬ plete reservoir of knowledge and informa¬ tion. During the first few minutes of every class period, the library becomes a race track for students who want the enjoyment of a comfortable easy chair. Johnny Painter, Raymond Waldrop, and Danny Monto- gomery must be the swiftest of the swift. Learning Tools Utilizing library facilities, Pam Craft seeks the word “irascible” in an attempt to improve her Creative Writing term paper. 48 Fine Arts Study Enhances Aesthetic Appreciation CECIL J. BAKER, JR. Lenior Rhyne College Chorus, Music Theory A haunting melody, a familiar chorus, the foot-tapping rhythm of a jazz tune—these are representative forms of music at Hunter Huss High School. Students have the opportunity to participate in several music groups, including the full chorus, a selected choral ensemble, an instru¬ mental ensemble, and music theory. Numbering approximately one-hundred voices, the full chorus gives concerts at school and for churches and organizations. The selected ensemble consists of forty voices chosen from auditions. This group provides programs for churches and civic groups which can better accommodate a smaller group. The instrumental ensemble plays for special occasions and has accompanied the chorus for various programs. A class in theory is offered for juniors and seniors who are inter¬ ested in learning the mechanics of music and for those who plan to study music in college. Huss High in looking to the future is planning for a full marching and concert band, an orches¬ tra, and several smaller vocal and instrumental ensembles. The study of music is essential for. those pre¬ paring for a musical career. However, those stu¬ dents who merely wish to develop an under¬ standing and appreciation of music will also benefit from these classes. A pensive stare, a dreamy look, an amused expression may be indicative of Patsy Byrd’s, Debbie Froneberger’s, Audrey Coley’s, Faye Norris’, and Johnny Alexander’s concentration as they with their instructor, Mr. Cecil Baker, are caught in classroom routine in Music Theory. MRS. DORIS S. GRAY U.N.C. at Greensboro Art, English II Pine cones, macaroni, paint, mill cones, and candle wax complimented with a touch of creativity result in appealing dec¬ orations for any Christmas mantle. Shown is Wayne Walther arranging the art work for display in the school library. In the poem “The World is Too Much With Us” William Wordsworth com¬ plains that man is so involved with material things that he takes no notice of the beauty surrounding him. There is belief that this is true today. Therefore, the art program at Huss seeks to instill appreciation of beauty to stimulate creativity, and to develop good taste. Beauty can actually become a part of one’s daily life and personality when he applies the principles of design to the selection and arrangement of all his belongings. Thus, in class these principles—line, proportion, harmony, rhythm, balance, form, color—are studied through working in various media. Pencil and charcoal drawings begin the basic ideas of line and of dark and light. Work in pastels, tempera, water color, and oils, develop color co¬ ordination. Block printing, ceramics, plaster sculpture, textile, design, mosaics, poster design and work with scrap materials add emphasis to the principle of unity of composition. Field trips for sketching in the out-of-doors develops appreciation for beauty in nature. Though the Art Department hopes for some few of its students to make art their careers, the main objective of the art classes is to make of all of them discerning consumers and appreciative human beings with the quality of the inner soul, who realize that life is not all “getting and spending” and “laying waste our powers.” 49 ' .

Physical Education For freshmen Horace Terry and Peggy Poteat, promenading.around the gymnasium can be almost as exhausting as a stint of calis¬ thenics. LEROY SELLERS High Point College Physical Education, Mechanical Drawing, Fellowship of Christian Athletes Sponsor Of course, high school is an institution design¬ ed to educate the mental faculties, but first things first! And that’s the motto of the Huss Physical Education Department, “First things first!” This department contends that before a student can fully comprehend his lessons in class, he must be in prime physical condition. Therefore, a physical education and development program is a required course by the state department for all freshmen. Through calisthenics and organized sports, students seek early in their high school career good physical condition. The roomy gymnasium and the expansive field behind the school plant provide excellent op¬ portunities for many sports. In the gym, stu¬ dents become activated in crab soccer, basket¬ ball, exercise, tumbling, wrestling, and sometimes dancing. During good weather many P.E. class¬ es may be seen engaged in baseball, sofetball, touch football, or volleyball. Often “eggheads” scorn physical education as a wasted period. These scholars would much rather attend a class which could be of mental benefit. However, such people grossly underrate the value of P.E. Aside from bodily improve¬ ment, there are the lessons of sportsmanship, teamwork, and self-confidence which are never taught in a math or history class. Few courses have the potential of those offered in the ' Huss Physical Education curriculum. 50 Well-Balanced Meals Quench Students ’ Hunger MRS. ZOLA CRISCO Cafeteria Manager Impatient, growling stomachs seek gratification in one of Huss’s most attractive and attracting sta¬ tions, the school cafeteria. Here well-balanced and appetizing lunches are served daily between the hours of eleven and one by Mrs. Zola Crisco, cafeteria man¬ ager, and her staff of seven. Students and teachers alike find the cafeteria a place of ready refuge and enjoyment. Making a definite place for herself in Huskie affection, Mrs. Crisco spends many hours in her management of school foods and food service. In her work she employs cafeteria standards set by the State Department of Agriculture. Included are guidelines in meal planning. Her school services deserve Astron applause. Bravely awaiting the first rush of hungry students at 11:40 are cafeteria aids: Eva Pitts, Mary Adams, Mae Hel¬ en Glenn, Ruby Davis, Kath¬ erine Brice, Hazel Feull, and Gladys Brice. With a friendly smile and outstretched palm, Barry Heaf- ner and Mrs. Zola Crisco take the money of hungry students. Education at Huss involves not those who are “preparing for life,” but those who are caught up in the art of living. Although it is necessary in a modern high school to teach the mastery of “see, saw, seen,” to expound algebra’s “x,y,z’s,” and to interpret complex scientific terminology, these are not the sole functions of high school today. Found in each American high school are those who are adjusting to the social, physical, aesthetic, and spiritual, as well as to the academic impacts of life. Huss school life centers on learning to cope with today’s problems so that tomorrow may attain its own adjustment. A cross section of this same school life reveals four levels of maturity, each separated by a year of growth. The chasm between the freshmen and senior years is bridged by the intervening sophomore and junior years and a blend of tol¬ erance, admiration, and acceptance. Friendship and depend¬ ency are the secrets of their collaboration. In their midst are the serious-minded, the shirker; the scholars, the skippers; the average, the avid; the keen-wit¬ ted, the “know-nothings”—all products of their past, pros¬ pects of their future. Each is a Huss dependent; each makes Huss come alive. Senior distinction! Last of Huss’s Charter Members Participate ' 66 Commencement Seniority—dignity, attainment, joy! To this year’s seniors, these attributes mark the fulfillment of a long-awaited dream initiated in the fall of 1962 at the dawn of Huss history. Joint efforts of both architect and contractors produced a new two-million dollar building for us to convert into a thriving school. We, as a part of the student body that first year, helped give Hunter Huss High School life, spirit, vitality, purpose—making it reach its expectations. As Huss grew, we grew. Our class has been the first to advance from freshman to senior. In these four yehrs we have boosted, comforted, nur¬ tured. upheld, and applauded our young, enterprising school. How ad¬ venturesome-—how rewarding—it has been to witness Huss’s first ball games, wrestling matches; to boost membership in the first clubs; to help set and watch our traditions materialize! With the graduation of the class of 1966 goes the last of the charter members of Huss High—the pioneers whose achievements have given meaning and direction to a new school seeking and finding its place in the city of Gastonia, in the state of North Carolina. Those who follow will receive the effect of our efforts, for the spirit that we helped create —the spirit of the Huskies—will never die! John Alexander with the assistance of Lula Lail, secretary; Jackie Drum, treasurer; and Picci Schrum, vice president, eagerly plan for the 1966 com¬ mencement. No, you’re not seeing things!

Class of 1967 With graduation only a year away, the 1965-1966 Huss juniors realized they had to make the most of their short term as Huss upperclassmen. With time as their taskmaster and effort, ability, and enthusiasm as their tools, they set out to make their junior year their best yet! Delving into advanced studies in American liter¬ ature and history . Algebra II, chemistry, business education, and other courses peculiar to their junior year, they met academic growth. Yet, this did not limit their involvement in other school functions. Writing for the school newspaper, play¬ ing tackle for the varsity football squad, adding height and scoring ability to the basketball team, sparking enthusiasm by way of Huss cheers, wear¬ ing the official Miss Huss High crown, pinning rivals -on the bright blue and white wrestling mat, hosting Huss’s second foreign exchange student, manning a bright orange school bus, enacting major and minor roles in the junior class plays planning and directing a junior-senior prom—all characterize 1965-1966 junior action. As the Huss juniors gave of themselves, they gave to themselves. Advanced study quickened per¬ ception and opened new avenues of mental adventure. A willingness to work where needed led to a dis¬ cover) ' of unknown talents and developed abilities. Collaboration with fellow workers introduced new friendships and deepened others. Opportunities to lead produced a new corps of student leaders. The necessity of service solicited effort even exceeding the call of duty many times. The esprit de corps of Huss High was radiated by way of their effort and attitude. As seniority nears, these juniors find themselves more able to cope with increased responsibilities. Vet, this does not lessen their amazement at the swiftness of time or the fulfillment of their day¬ dreams. Ordering class rings, sweating SAT scores, finishing that ‘‘next to the last year” as a Husky athlete, deciding the cover for the 1967 Astron, as¬ suming key extracurricular positions convey one message: in only three months they will be the Senior Class of Hunter Huss High School. “Could this (H 2 SO 4 , HCL + NH,OH) be the synthesis by which I could attempt to render soluble, hard-shelled Mr. Stroupe,” queries Jimmy Beamguard as Charles Collins left and Glenn Huskins right conspire Connie Cannon.

Class of 1968 Sophomore of¬ ficers Susan Bur¬ rell, secretary, David Fogle, treasurer, Sherry Queen, president, and Dan Jacobs, v. president leave the guidance lounge after a meeting concern¬ ing sophomore actions. Sophomores proved their value as they contributed to the Huss effort. Basketball star Bobby Galla¬ gher was an all- time favorite of Huss rooters. 88 Intoxicated with the ecstasy of not being fresh¬ men, the four hundred-plus sophomores of Huss began a new school year with abounding en¬ thusiasm. Their first-week activity involved re¬ uniting with old friends, making new acquaint¬ ances, accepting a new class ranking, and tackling a new schedule, a new corps of teachers, and new responsibilities. However, new friends replaced old ones, a new schedule became the same old grind, new teachers were not so frightening, and the new class ranking lost its feeling of novelty. Yet, the responsibilities remained and increased as the seniors and juniors shared the extra-curricular and athletic load with the hard-working sopho¬ mores. Service clubs, such as the Junior Beta found capable members in the sophomore rank to boost club membership. Fielding a basketball team that will be well-noted within the next two years, the junior varsity athletics were exceptionally strong. Even the varsity squads dipped into the sopho¬ more ranks retrieving such sophomore stars as Bobby Gallagher and Dan Jacobs. Sophomores have struggled as individuals and as a class to produce a school year indelibly marked with their influence. The athletic, academic, and extracurricular aspects of the Huss world con¬ tinue to rely on the reservoir of sophomore talent. The fulfillment of the class of 1968 will be realized within the next two short years. As time pro¬ gresses, the senior year will hold club presidencies, student body offices, athletic positions, SAT scores, and college acceptance. But the present is important now. Time for dreaming will continue to come intermittently as dating, driver’s license, basketball games, exams, and week-ends occupy the main track of thinking. With added maturity will come more advanced degrees of understanding, preparation, and, oh, yes, still more responsibility.

It was with mixed feelings that the thrill of entering the vast new high school world replaced the sorrow of leaving the security of their former school environment. A swift succession of strange faces, new teachers, and long dark halls greeted them, but familiarity soon caught up with them. No longer did they feel as they did previously—“as if they were in a large forest ... of hurrying, scurrying people.” Yet, they were still overwhelmed by the enormity of Huss. One freshman was even prompted to say, “When I first came to school here at Huss. I felt like one flea on an enormous dog.” In a short length of time, friendships were made, confusion was lessened, and rules began to take on new meaning. A routine was adopted and provided direction for Huss’s largest class. Yet. this routine did not stilt progress acceptance, hap¬ piness. fun! Their uniformity did not demand they give up their individuality a= they continued to become an integral part of the Husky student effort and spirit. Especiallv were they appreciated and boosted during football season when they were the first to bring victory to the Huss football prowess; also they planned and arranged the Sadie Hawkins dance. Such contributions made Huss their school and enabled them to feel a valuable part of it. V ith the advent of class of 1969—this year’s freshmen become the future leader¬ ship) of Hunter Huss High School. Of evident worth was their freshman year be¬ cause as freshman Vickie Coker expressed it: “And yet as we at Huss remain, We think it’s worth the ache and pain To be the members of this class For soon we’ll be the Senior “brass. Often students, even though maturing adults, fail to comprehend all that is around them. Freshman Roy Craft pauses to ponder two prominent aspects of the school plant that symbolize more to him than just a conglomera¬ tion of letters and stripes. 102 Absher, Sally Elizabeth Adams, Harriett Christine Adams, James Grady Aldrich, Joseph Douglas Alexander, Douglas Stroup Alexander, Robert McAuley Allen, Elizabeth Anderson, Walter William Angel, Edwin Scott Angley, Billy Bruce Anthony, Rebecca Phifer Atchley, Hilda Ann Atkins, Tommy Jay Bailey, Alice Margaret Barkley, Richard Steven Barrow, Connie Lorraine Baugh, Richard Sutton Bean, Deborah Nora Bean, Michael Bryan Beaty, Bobby Neal Beavers, Kenneth Eugene Becton, Ronnie Best Bess, Martha Louise Black, Charles Michael Black, Neva Jo Black, Robert Stewart Black, William Eddie Blackledge, James Lewis Blake, Sherry Ann Bolick, Glenda Faye Leaving the old to discover the new , the freshmen enter Huss with anticipation.

In the ranks of these personalities are those known for their diligence, their scholarship, their friendship. Individually they are characterized by a winning smile, sparkling wit, surging enthusiasm, or quiet strength, but they all captivate and achieve. Whether they complement the student body with dy¬ namic energy, profound thought, or accomplished artistry, their school service and extended effort are immeasurable. Because their leadership and citizenship merit commendation, the Astron acclaims those individuals who have earned the quality of distinction. As the contestants stand on die “Roman Portico”, Sherry Diehl, Miss Huss eventful evening. of 1965, presents engraved sterling charms as mementoes of an Connie Emcee— ' Murray Cook Cannon captures current Miss Huss High ’ title In a setting made distinctive with its Roman portico and mountainous back¬ drop, Connie Elizabeth Cannon—surrounded by nine of Huss’s prettiest co-eds —was honored with the title and crown of Hunter Huss High School’s number one lass—“Miss Huss High!” This took place on the evening of November 5, 1965, during the third annual Miss Huss High Pageant. Extended second and third place honors were senior Nancy Holland (first runner-up) and sophomore Cynthia Lynch, (second runner-up). Keen competition -existed among those vying for coronation honors. Con¬ testants selected by students and faculty consisted of Jane Withers, Alice Falls, Linda Spencer, Connie McLean, Karen Ehret, Nancy Holland, Cynthia Lynch, Linda Garland, and Nancy Smith. Competing in street dress, talent, and evening dress, the contestants were warmly received by their audience. Adding momentum to the occasion was the awaiting of the decision made by judges: Mary McLean, Harold Sumner, Carl Stewart, Mrs. Robert Temple, and C. W. Stacks. Murray Cook, a Huss instructor, served as the pageant’s master of ceremonies. The introductory theme, “Climb Every Mountain” was made enhancing with musical interludes by pianist Lula Lail, script read by Mr. Cook, and set and lighting by Morris Davis, director, Michael Wittman, stage manager, and a stage crew of students. Special decorations consisting of huge Roman columns, a statue of Venus de Milo, balustrades, and an eight-foot chandelier were se¬ cured at Display Designs in Charlotte. The varied talents of Sherry Diehl, Debbie Froneberger, Lula Lail, and the “Frisky, Flirty, Faculty Four” (Bill Briggs, Cecil Baker, Jon Childs, and Morris Davis) highlighted stage-break for the contestants. Reigning as Miss Hunter Huss of 1966 is Connie Cannon with her court consisting of Nancy Holland (first runner-up) and Cynthia Lynch (second run¬ ner-up) escorted by John Alexander, Picci Schrum, and Leonard Short respectively. 114 Vying for the same title did not hamper the contestants’ feelings of warmth and friendship for each other as signified by the dressing cooperation of Sherry Diehl, Karen Ehret, Nancy Holland, and Miss Mashbum. ' vHr With strains of “Pennsylvania Polka” aiul “My Favorite Things,” Debbie Froneberger gave the contestants a break as she entertained and delighted a receptive audience. Concentration enabled stage hand Mike Coley to transform lighting. Stage crew action as exemplified here by Lester Cook, Mike Coley, Morris Rogers, Mr. Briggs, and Johnny Baker in raising the eight-foot chandelier re¬ sulted in a setting suitable for the bevy of beauties competing in it. 115 m Junior co-ed wears Miss Huss ’ crown In evening gown competition, Miss Connie Cannon with escort John Alexander displays the grace and charm which aided her in capturing the Miss Huss title. Reigning as the new 1965-1966 “Miss Huss High” is petite and amiable Connie Cannon. Featured as contestant number one during the pageant, Connie also ranked number one in the eyes of the judges. Escorted by John Alexander, Connie entered the competition wearing a gray wool flannel dress, accented by a white petal collar, and a gown of peach slipper satin. Connie’s 1965-1966 duties do not end with her new responsibility. Presidency of the junior class as well as chief junior varsity cheerleader require a major portion of her leisure time. Also she holds membership in the Civinettes, F.T.A., and Pep Club. Could it have been this last minute primping that paid off for the soon-to-be-crowned Miss Huss? As her last official duty, the reigning Miss Huss of 1965, Sherry Diehl, crowns Connie with the approval of her 1966 court. 117 Contestants offer keen competition talent-wisi Pantomiming Barbara Striesand’s version of “I Wish I Were a Kid Again,” Tm Five,” and The Sweet Zoo,” Connie Cannon became an audience favorite in the talent competition. Wearing a red-and-white-checkered smock, red leotards, and sporting large black-rimmed spectacles, she recaptured the air and warmth of a five-year-old. Playing piano solos, Linda Spencer, Huss sophomore, entertained her audience with renditions of all-time favorites, “The Sound of Music” and “Greensleeves.” Wearing a silk organza dress, she was featured as contestant No. 6 and was escorted by senior Ed Rankin. Junior Karen Ehret to the music from “Room 43” captivated her audience with a modem jazz interpretation. Four years of training under the auspices of Mrs. Nancy Kitchen boosted her well-earned applause. Alice Falls delighted her audience as she portrayed a modern day flapper while pantomiming “The Same Old Jazz, Mama.” Attired in a bright red and yellow chemise, she varied her dance steps from the early Charleston to the ever-modern frug. In a fashion kin to that of the world’s most famous baby sitter Mary Poppins, senior Linda Garland sang “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” Costumed in char¬ acteristic nanny style with umbrella in hand, she mim¬ icked the true “Poppins” style. as they display proof of Showmanship To the strains of Roger Williams’ “Teakwood Nocturne,” Cynthia Lynch, sophomore, displayed both grace and poise in a ballet performed in the classical style. Quite upset by the outcome of her uncle’s will, Nancy Holland in a dramatic monologue made the outrage of a slighted niece realistic to a receptive audience. Taking advantage of her opportunity to be a star burlesque queen in a vacated theater, Connie McLean in character of a scrub woman overwhelmed the audi¬ ence with movements to “The Stripper.” Having studied piano for eight years, Jane Withers en¬ tertained the audiencS at the piano with the theme song from the motion picture Exodus. As contestant No. 2, Jane wore a dress of blue chiffon and was escorted by Keith Wilson. On a stage made atmospheric by carmine tinting, Nancy Smith. costumed in black did a modem jazz routine entitled “The Dance at the Gym” from Westside Story.

An eighteen-year-old senior, Kim represented Huss in the Carolinas’ Car¬ rousel activities in Charlotte, highlighted by the Thanksgiving Day Christmas parade. An honor guest at the Manger Inn of Charlotte, she was entertained at a tea, a formal ball, a luncheon, and a dinner Thanksgiving Day. She also was later a feature in the Gastonia Christmas Parade. A busy extracurriculum at Huss finds Kim in¬ vesting her energies in Beta Club work as vice president, in Civinette activities as treasurer, in Astron effort as Personalities co-editor, and in Junior Heart Board endeavor.

Huss launches first Homecoming Don ' t be deceived by the relaxed looks of Pep Club sponsors Miss Garrison and Miss Mashbum. Long hours of preparation called for their manual and mental labor. Huss High’s first homecoming festivities were launched on Thursday evening, October 28, 1965, during the Huss-Harding football competition. Crisp, cool air and clear skies enhanced the atmosphere for an actuality of the evening’s theme “Some Enchanted Evening.” Fourteen Huss co-eds, sponsoring the senior football gridders vied for the title of Huss’s first homecoming queen. Wearing fall suits adorned with yellow chrysanthemum corsages, the girls eagerly watched the game and hopefully awaited the homecoming halftime coronation. Highlighting the halftime midfield activities was the crowning of Susan Sherrill, sponsoring co-captain Steve Dickson, as the first homecoming queen of Hunter Huss High School. Her coronation took place amid a setting made atmospheric by a backdrop featuring a star-studded velvety blue sky. A dance the following Saturday was open to all Huss homecoming alumni. Under the sponsorship of the Pep Club, the success of the 1965 homecoming activities revealed effective planning, intense effort, and steady co-operation.

As the years passed, though, I got only more and more determined that sometime I should go. I did go one day, and now I’m here after my dream was realized through the American Field Service. And I’m having the most wonderful time just being an American teenager! The friendliness everybody—especially the Huss students—welcomed me with, can hardly be found anywhere. Espe- ciallv I have appreciated my American family, the Hoyle Allreds, who opened not only their home but their hearts for me—all of them and Susan, in particular. This has been a key factor in my adjustment. When I first came here, I was rather scared because everything was so big. The whole country was big, the portions of food one was served were big, even Gastonia with its 50,000 inhabitants seemed to be huge. Especially Hunter Huss High School did seem large to me. Coming from what we consider to be a large school in Norway containing 600 students, I hardly could understand how one building could have room for 1600 students. At first I sometimes would have to walk twice around the building before I could find my classroom. Many things were new to me: changing classrooms between each period, having only five subjects (at home I had 131, and eating lunch in a cafe¬ teria in the school building. One thing I could not understand was that the students in December and January longed so much for snow to come. But I learned the reason, I had a good laugh: a day with snow was a day with¬ out school. At first school seemed to be very different from what I was accustomed, and I didn’t know whether to like it or not. However, as I got more ac¬ quainted I learned to enjoy Huss more and more. I will always remember this year at Huss, the students and teachers, the school spirit at pep rallies and ball games, the classes and assemblies, and all the fun we’ve had togeth¬ er outside school at parties and club meetings. Thank you, everybody, for making this year a very special year for me, a special wonderful year. 130 Norwegian Lass wins Huss sentiments Eli, pictured here with the Rev.

A.F.S. sponsor, Mrs, Genevieve Ware, helps quench Eli’s curiosity concerning the American heritage. Coining from the blustery winter weather of Volda, Norway, has not chilled the personality or outlook of Eli Karin Gaustad, Huss High’s second foreign exchange student. Rather the warmth of southern hospitality has been reflected and amplified by Eli’s ever-present smile. Her presence guarantees the lack of gloom; even the language she has acquired has profited. The Norwegian accent she retains could be called thick, if one considers honey to be thick. August 14, 1965, marked the beginning of Eli’s stay in the All-American city of Gastonia. She now resides with her American parents and sister, Rev. and Mrs. Hoyle Allred and their daughter Susan. Attending Flint-Groves Baptist Church, she actively par¬ ticipates in many functions. Pen pals appeal to Eli; continually filling the Allred’s mail box are letters from her friends via the mail in Germany, Israel, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, and Ethiopia. Between replies she occasionally finds time to knit, thus adding to her wardrobe of self-made sweaters. Her frankness in opinions and beliefs has earned for her the respect and admiration of all. Students who meet her are also surprised by the Americanization of Eli. Professing a passion for pizza, hamburgers, and fried chicken, she seems far removed from the snowdrifts of her frigid homeland. Back home in Volda, Eli had shared many a peaceful and re¬ laxing walk with her parents in the mountains and along the fjords. Herr Rolf Gaustad and Fru Kjellrun Gaustad are her parents. The oldest of five Gaustad children, Eli has three sisters —Marit, 16; Brente, 11; Randi, 2;—and one brother—Karl Petter, 4. Naturally the snow-covered mountains and the ice- topped lakes enticed Eli into mastering the winter-sports of skiing and skating. However, the sunny South offers little of either of Eli’s former pastimes. Still Eli is active. Fifth period and some nights find her working in the faculty and administration section of the AST RON. In the Senior Class production of “Arsenic and Old Lace” Mrs. Hanson in the form of Eli-Karin almost succumbed to the elderberry wine of two old ladies. She also holds member¬ ship in the chorus, the Civinettes, and the A. F. S. 131 Astron applauds Superlative Seniors in Athletics, In Huss terminology, the words wrestling, victory, and STEVE DICKSON are synonymous. T he 1965 129-lb. class N.C. wrestling champion and the 1966 state contender in the 138-lb. class, he recently not only won the district championship but also the coaches’ trophy for being the most outstanding western district wrestler. With this and his perfect record of wins as his backing, he will enter the 1966 state competition. Also identified in the Huss sports world with the gridiron, Steve served as football co-captain. Athletics Nicknamed “Cousy” by fellow students, DANNY DEN¬ TON is most appreciated for his contributions on the basketball court. One of Huss’s highest scoring cagers, he has won favoritism for dribbling skills, teamwork, and long-range shooting accuracy. The spring season will find him gain representing Huss on the baseball field. Attainment With quality and versatility as his chief assets, senior JOHN ALEXANDER has served fellow students as an entertainer (serving as arranger and saxophonist with the “Counts”) , as a leader (Student Co-op. president) , and as co-laborer in many school functions. His creativity and belief in work make him a definite candidate for success. Identified with soliciting school spirit, Chief Cheerleader NANCY HOLLAND finds that jie and Bearpaw have much in common (both have become symbolic of school spirit) . However, Nancy’s duties do not end with her cheering; her other abilities have found ex¬ pression in her role as Pep Club president, first runner-up in “Miss Huss” Pageant, Astron patron solicitor, Civinette, and F.T.A. member. All-Round Achievement Friendly, expressive, and athletic characterize the roles PICCI SCHRUM has played in the Huss scholastic world. Although well-rounded in his school service, he has won student acclaim and is most known for his contributions on the Huss stage as a prosecuting at¬ torney his junior year and an ardent lover his senior year. 132 All-Round Achievement , Attainment , Artistry, and Academics Attainment i. A letter of acceptance from Purdue University brings ob¬ vious delight to DEEDY JOLLY’s face. Consistency, academic excellence, capability, and congeniality have been her con¬ tributions to Huss school life. These same qualities name her nominee for future attainment. Artistry Pageant pianist LULA LAIL proved her skill on the key¬ board as she made her audience feel her rendition of “Rhap¬ sody in Blue.” An eleven-year piano trainee, she has earrted three musical scholarships and six superior ratings in music festivals. In addition she has received a 83,000 trustee schol¬ arship for collegiate study at Phieffer College. With the cry of “Charge! - ’ H.H.H.S.’s Teddy Roosevelt (DANNY DILLS) introduced to the Huss spotlight ac¬ knowledgment of new talent. Known as the Huss parson, his funeral oration for Frank L. Greenwave received thun¬ derous applause. His musical versatility makes him a stu¬ dent favorite. Academics Probing into the peritoneal cavity of a fetal pig, here CAROLYN ROBINSON reveals a total absorption that has made her number one in her class scholastic standing. Her delight in self-involvement, constancy of effort, disgust for the mediocre are displayed in her mastery of the academics. “Democracy, Democracy? Democracy!’’ exults MIKE BOYD as he concludes his first- place winner in the Democracy In Action speech contest. Weighty in thought content and dependable in action he has made a place for himself in both the Hum curriculum and cxtracurriculum. A top S.A.T. scorer at Huss, Mike has not stilted his academic excellence by carrying the chief Astron editorship and the Junior Civitan presidency. 133 CAROLYN BAIRD “When duty whispers low. Thou must; The youth replies ‘I can.’ ’ With these two lines from his “Voluntaries III” Ralph Waldo Emerson proves his keen insight into the depth of youth. Youth is its own compliment to life; for it offers a freshness, a beauty, a vigor, a vitality, a creativity that its own excuses for being. It is God’s gift to humanity; yet, it must prove its worth, answer its call—in the affirmative. To the call, ‘Thou must,’ some 1600 teenagers at Huss give an answer. The quality of their answers varies; thus, the validity of their worth differs. Their mark of distinction is determined by the value of their service. The Class of 1966, Huss’s last charter MIKE BOYD JOHN ALEXANDER KATHY BAUCOM DANNY DENTON members, contains many senior standouts. Proved outstanding by their contributed service to the school, unselfishness with abilities and time, deter¬ mination to put Huss on the map, consistency of effort, sacrificial involvement in school activity, and pride in their alma mater, these students in their efforts ascribe quality to America’s legacy to the future. Found among these ranks at Huss are seniors: John Alexander. Carolyn Baird, Kathy Bau- com, Mike Boyd, Danny Denton. Steve Dickson, Jackie Drum, Kathy Hinkle, Nancy Holland, Rich¬ ard Howell, Deedy Jolley, Lula Lail, Robert Pyant, Carolyn Robinson, Picci Sclirum, Jane Withers, and Ann Woody. JACKIE DRUM STEVE DICKSON KATHY HINKLE 135 136 ROBERT PYANT CAROLYN ROBINSON Jutstanding PICCI SCHRUM JANE WITHERS ANN WOODY Organizations Feelings of accomplishment, purpose, unity—these are the inspirations that create in youth the willingness to serve. And it is this service found within the realms of the scho¬ lastic extra-curriculum that provokes identification with a cause and selflessness. This within itself is maturity. From singing in the chorus to selling blue and white beanies, energetic students seek expression and fellowship, vitalities to school progress. These are channels through which students animate a school plant as they become its life blood. This animation fills today’s reservoir for tomor¬ row’s leadership. Thus, Huss’s organizations are classrooms of their own, for here learning teaches harmony, self-sacrifice, and re¬ sponsibility—lessons not found in textbooks. Only in ex¬ perience do students find strength in unity, satisfaction in achievement, fraternity in combined effort. Huss Betas Attend State Convention in Asheville 1965-66 Beta officers included Pam Robbins, treasurer; Kim Hunter, vice president: Jane Withers, president; Mr. Davidson, advisor; and Cindy Fort, secretary. The height of the 1965-66 year for the Hunter Huss Beta Club was the attendance of twenty members at the state convention in Asheville, K.C., April 15 and 16. Adding to the excitement of the convention weekend was the nomination of Alice Falls, Huss junior, as a candidate for secretary of the state Beta Club. .The Beta members worked diligently for a month prior to the con¬ vention. planning a campaign and publicizing their candidate as qualified for the position. For local projects, the Betas sold Christmas cookies for the li¬ brary fund and joined the other Gaston County Beta Clubs in caroling at the County Home. Through these projects and the leadership of president Jane ithers and sponsor Mr. Robert Davidson, the club members have rendered service to the school.

Jr. Betas Increase Stadium Fund Umm . . . soft, fresh, sugary, deliciously tasty . . . this was the lure that caused the Huss and Ashley fans on January 8th to fall prey to Junior Beta Club’s art of selling. Nabbing customers in every direction, these Junior Betas sold 1200 doughnuts, netting a profit that aided in the Stadium-Fund drive. The entire year for the Junior Beta consisted of planning for future projects, taking in new members, and initiating students who were eligible for the honorary club. The Junior Beta Club contained approximately ninety members, headed by Mrs. Wallace, sponsor, and Sandra High, president. The officers of the Junior Beta Club are (SEATED) Lydia Morgan, vice-president; Sandra High, president; (STANDING) Anita Polston, secretary; and Ann Smith, treasurer.

Civinettes Sponsor First r College Night Realizing the need of students to consider carefully colleges and their courses of study and benefits to the individual, the Civinettes sponsored a “College Night ’ program during the fall of 1965. Represented were thirty colleges and universities from North and South Carolina. The students changed classes for ten minute ses¬ sions. talking with counsellors from the schools of their interest. ith money received from selling Claxton fruit cakes and serving as hostesses at Community Concerts, the Civinettes “adopted” two families during the Christmas season. During one month, the thirty members visited several churches with the hope of forming closer friendships and gaining stronger mutual understandings. 1 � l P4 9 l t • Lula Lail cheerfully accepts Claxton fruit-cake money from Civin¬ ettes Eleanor Grier and Pam Robbins. 42 The officers of the Civinettes are Lula Lail, chaplain; Jane Withers, sergeant at arms; Mary Ann Allen, secretary; Cindy Fort, president; Carolyn Baird, vice- president; and Kim Hunter, treasurer. Jr. Civitans Donate $100 to Stadium Drive “Balloons! Balloons, buy a balloon for the Junior Heart Board!” “Sir, may I place this United Fund poster in your display window?” “Tickets for the Miss Huss Pageant!” These were the sounds of Jr. Civitans patrolling their areas in the shopping centers and the uptown district as they performed service projects for Huss and greater Gastonia. Along with their physical exertions for a good cause came other varied activities as well. The daily sale of Fritos and potato chips replenished the treasury as the club proved to be free-hearted with its funds. Mr. A. R. Rankin, head of the loyal Huskie Club, received the largest burst of generosity in a one hundred dollar check to boost the stadium drive. Raising and lowering the American flag each day was a small but ap¬ preciated endeavor. Mr. Charles Hamilton advised this year’s activities.

The stirring eulogy of Mr. Greenwave is tem¬ porarily interrupted here as the Reverend Danny Dills attempts to gain his needed composure. Key Club Become Official Huss Morticians Grief and despair overcome this group of mourners as they solefully (?) file by the remains of Frank L. Greenwave. Establishing themselves as the official Huss morticians, the 1965-66 Huss Key Clubbers again officiated at the funeral of the dead Frank L. Ashley. Led by a slate of new officers and a newly-formed Board of Directors, the H.H.H.S. Key Club -International not only upheld old traditions but set new ones this year. The burial of the Green-Wave corpse was followed by other service pro¬ jects. Included in this year’s contributions were the distributing of United Fund Posters, the peddling of Heart Board balloons, the sponsoring of pep rallies, the adopting of a needy family at Christmas, and the collection of paper for a paper drive. The compounded efforts of Mr. Park as advisor and John Alexander as pres¬ ident in conjunction with club officers have afforded the club worthwhile leader¬ ship. Sonny Howell, treasurer, Danny Dills, secretary, and Jackie Drum, vice-president, aid Key Club President John Alexander as he prepares his club announcement. 44 Inter act Club Rates Place in Huss Extra-Curriculum Selling tickets for the Miss Huss Pageant, launching a soap drive to obtain soap and razor blades for the American troops in Viet Nam, and peddling balloons for the Heart Fund have expended In¬ teract Club energies. Also this young club (a year old) has contrib¬ uted to the “Empty Stocking Fund” and the stadium drive. For its strides of achievement and continual service to the school, this junior Rotary Club has earned inclusion in the Huss extra¬ curriculum. Mr. William Logan has served as advisor of this en¬ deavor.

Student Co-op Employs All Huss Classes Recognizing the problems of the student body of Hunter Huss High School, the Student Co-Operative Association actuated the new form of government that began the 1964-65 school year. Serving as the student government, the S.C.A. tries to improve the school from the student’s view point. Each new day creates a new problem, but each are solved individually or jointly by all four legislatures. Headed by their own officers, each legislature acts as a separate organization. Although the four legislatures were formed into the same body, each had different projects. Pep rallies, Brigg’s Stadium Drive, Student handbooks, visiting cards, graduation announcements, and dances were all emphasized during the school year. Nine representatives and a sponsor made up each legislature, and each had to maintain an 80 average on all subjects and an 85 on conduct—except, of course, FIRST ROW: Jackie Drum, Picci Schrum, Johnny Alexander, Lula Lail.

F.T.A. Members Become Teachers for a Day ’ Teacher, I like you . . . ” “Teacher, may I be excused ...” “Teacher, you’re pretty ... “Teacher, why don’t you be our teacher all the time ...” These were the remarks of encouragement and appreciation that the Huss Future Teachers of -America met when they explored the fields of Elementary and Secondary Education ?. s teacher for the day. Also, Mrs. Jane Rankin, advisor, chaperoned interested F.T.A. members to the Wake Forest campus for the state convention. Not only looking out for self interests, the F.T.A. invested time and energies in raising $120 for a scholarship to give to a worthy Huss student who plans to major in teaching. In addition, they actuated their appreciation for their own teachers by proclaiming Teacher Appreciation Day, awarding teachers with corsages, bouton¬ nieres and helpers for the day. Tp finance these projects, F.T.A.ers” spent long laborious hours during pre- Christmas days wrapping packages for frenzied Christmas shoppers at Eckerds Drug Store. Leading the F.T.A. this year were Becky Welch, historian; Dale Goins, treas¬ urer; Carolyn Robinson, secretary; Suzanne Butler, vice president; Phyllis Rhyne, president; and Mrs. Rankin, sponsor. Eleanor Grier and Geraldine Gunter, both mem¬ bers of the Future Teachers of America, donate to the library books offered by F.T.A. members. 148 Huss Organizes F.H.A.

Iris Price and Amellia McManama seem to be making an even trade—doll for the money. Initiation was just one activity that the 1965-66 Future Home¬ maker members participated in. Belinda Baucom, one of the initiates, turns juvenile as she jumps her imaginary rope as Suzanne Butler and Vickie Walker poke fun. As the fall of the 1965-66 school year approached, a new club was in the making. This was the FHA, a national organization, providing op¬ portunities for students to have additional experiences related to home¬ making. Any student who has had at least one year of home economics or is presently enrolled in a home economics course is eligible for membership in the club. Even though the club is new, its worthiness has been shown through its varied activities. These include donating money to the Huss Stadium, purchasing books for the home economics classes and serving for the district Distributive Education meeting. The group was under the direction of Miss Annette Garrison and Mrs. Linda Dixon. Shelia Benson served as president.

As the bell sounds, monitors brace themselves against the onslaught of students “eagerly anticipating” their next class. Many delinquents must be reminded to walk on the right side, walk quickly but orderly, and other necessary regulations established to make traffic flow more smoothly. The monitorial staff consists of juniors and seniors under the guidance of Mr. Conley Rockett. With a student body of approximately 1700 students, this school police squad has the responsibility of patrolling the Huss halls. Their duties are to keep the halls clean, people out of the lockers during class changes, and students flowing orderly on the right side of the hall. The staff is chosen by Mr. Rockett from applications completed by prospective monitors. Each person must have a “B” average to remain on the monitorial staff. The success of the monitorial council has been strengthened by the efforts of Mr. Rockett with active support from Becky Ratchford as chief monitor. The co-opera¬ tion of the student body has also been one of the leading factors in making the monitorial council a workable part of Huss routine. Executing monitorial authority, Kathy Hinkle reprimands Scott Qualls for entering his locker during class change. Becky Ratchford, chief monitor, straightens her monitor’s band while the camera flashes.

Catering to Huss Student’s appetites and spon¬ soring the foreign exchange student program have consumed the energies of the American Field Ser¬ vice Club. It has sold barbecue, cheese crackers, and peanuts for the purpose of aiding exchange student expenses. A.F.S.-member participation in these projects ranged from pickle-dipper at the bar¬ becue to peanut-peddler at break. The annual presentation of the Gaston County exchange students took place during A.F.S. week at a school assembly on November 15 as members and the exchange students provided an international discussion on such subjects as religion and dating in the different countries represented. When asked what she would consider the best take-home pre¬ sent, Eli Gaustad, Huss’s exchange student from Norw ay, quipped, “The 1966 Astron!’ As a special Christmas gift for Eli from the club, Norway was brought to America via the long¬ distance telephone w ires. A sweater to wear back in the snowy mountains of home was another gift. Under the leadership of Lula Lail, president, and Mrs. Genevieve Ware, sponsor, A.F.S. served as 1965-66 host club for Eli and her American sister, Susan Allred. 151 The officials of the Tri-Hi-Y are Judy Taylor, treasurer, Saundra Mullinax, president, and Sandra Corn, secretary.

Sponsors Huss s Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y The Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y are the two clubs at Huss sponsored by the Gas¬ tonia Y.M.C.A. Their purpose is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character. At meetings members see films or discuss current affairs, led by Mrs. Kelly sponsor of the Tri-Hi-Y and Mr. Stewart of the Hi-Y. Selling candy to raise money for World Service, an organization which collects and distributes money to the different Y.M.C.A.’s in foreign countries, was the project undertaken by the Tri-Hi-Y. During this past summer a camp was held at Blue Ridge in Black Mountain for the purpose of training officers to organize their clubs for the follo wing year. The Tri-Hi-Y also attended a district conference in Spartanburg, South Carolina in November.

A twitch of a switch and the roar of a motor soon snaps a sleepy bus driver to reality as he begins his early-morning route. Each stop adds another member to the general conspiracy devoted to driving bus drivers insane. The hullabaloo that can result from a capacity load of 67 jab¬ bering grammar students soon requires a firm tone and commanding voice exclaiming, “Shut up and sit down!” However, membership duties in the Bus Drivers’ Club do not end with merely covering the scheduled route tivice- each day. With this year’s funds they purchased a plaque honoring Mr. Briggs for his service to them and Carolina blue and white jackets.

Tedious rehearsal sessions, excessive memory work, long hours of contributed manual labor, extensive ex¬ perimentation with stage make-up, and other stamina¬ exacting chores are the background of a Huss Drama Clubber or Thespian. The senior production of “Arse¬ nic and Old Lace” verified the need for all these re¬ quirements in a successful drama student. Teddy Roosevelt’s effective “Charge!” up San Juan Hill (stairs) required more than running through the scene once or twice. Repetition and perfection are the key-words for drama. Each scene must be acted over and over again until perfection is achieved. At Huss the National Thespian Society and Drama The hard work involved in building the set for “Arsenic and Old Lace” was alleviated by the antics of play-director, Morris Davis. Magda Svenson (Becky Morgan) is sworn in by court clerk John Alexander before she gives her testimony in the trial of Karen Andre. “He killed him!” He killed him!” screams Sigurd Junquist (Leonard Short) interrupting defense attorney Steven’s (Mark Hanna) cross-examination of John Graham Whitfield (Bill Carter) 154 National Thespians Club have been established to enhance these character¬ istics in members. Recognizing the talents of members displayed in such previous dramatic plays as “The Night of January 16th”, the two organizations offer opportunities for future creative displays. Other productions of the Drama Club aside from “Arsenic and Old Lace” were the Junior Class play, “Green Grow the Lilacs,” and the one-act play, “Bury the Dead.” Under the presidency of Picci Schrum and sponsor¬ ship of Mr. Morris Davis the club’s purpose is to estab¬ lish and advance standards of excellence in all phases of dramatic arts and to create an active and intelligent interest in dramatic arts among high school students. Picci Schrum, alias Mortimer Brewster, seems to be in a state of utter confusion as play cast members Dianah Brindle, Robert Pyant, and Don Haney look on. Officiating the first Drama Club at Huss were Suzanne Wyberly, secretary, Becky Morgan, treasurer, Picci Schrum, president, and Danny Dills, vice president. The cast and crew of the second annual junior class play, “The Night of January 16th,” pause from their courtroom procedure for a picture. Everything from ladder climbing to paint brush pushing was involved in constructing the scenery for the first senior class play, “Arsenic and Old Lace.” Sherry Diehl of the make-up crew busily prepares Toni Penland for her role as Mrs. Harper in the senior class play, “Arsenic and Old Lace.” 155 FIRST ROW: Mrs. Allran, Miss Kelly, Becky Ratchford, Nancy Holland, Sandra High, Sheila Benson, Lydia Morgan, Becky Morgan, Phyllis Rhyne.

Oversees Total Club Program The waste cans became fuller and the halls less littered as a result of a joint clean-up drive involving each of Huss’s or¬ ganizations. This beautification program was initiated by the Inter-Club Council, a body established to co-ordinate the extracurriculum at Huss. Composed of the president, and faculty advisor of each school-sponsored organization, the I.C.C. meets once a month to decide on matters dealing with the non-academic side of school life. With Mrs. Dorothy Baxter as sponsor and Bill Carter as president, the I.C.C. stimulated interest in constructive projects and services. Besides the beautification drives, a leadership pro¬ gram for club presidents was another example of I.C.C. activity. Deep concentration is reflected on students’ faces at one of the gather¬ ings of the Inter-Club Council. I.C.C. president, Bill Carter, discusses the new constitution with Lynn Keenum. Heading the I.C.C. are officers: Bill Carter, president; Jane Withers, vice-president; Mrs. Baxter, sponsor; Cindy Fort, treasurer; and San¬ dra Christopher, secretary. 156 Huss Students Help Direct City Youth Council Efforts Helping publish a civic youth page in the Gastonia Gazette, has been the most tangible effort of the fledgling Gastonia Youth Council on Civic Affairs. Appearing each Sunday, the youth page is a way of letting each high school announce events occurring within the individual student bodies. Plans are currently being made for a teen jury, which will actually levy punishments on youthful offenders. A weekly radio program to discuss and express the younger generation’s views on current affairs is another aspect of the Youth Council’s programs. Composed of nine elected representatives from the three high schools along with each school’s student body president, the G.Y.C.C.A. is doing much to promote teen- adult communication. Linda Ferguson and Jessie Caldwell look on with interest as Judy Gaultney types an article for the youth page.

Health Careers Club Caters to Morganton Retarded Children The retarded children in Morganton, North Carolina, can applaud the worth of the Huss Health Careers Club’s action. Working to collect needed items for these children composed one of the clubs’ major contributions. Voluntary work in the local hospitals was another ex¬ tension of the activities of the Huss teenagers interested in the medical profession. Backing the Loyal Huskies in their stadium fund-raising, these club members also sold cookies to contribute to the financial drive. Club activities were sponsored by Miss Foy Culp, club advisor. Gathering near the door that entitles their interest are Janice Mixon, vice president, Donna Eads, treasurer, Kathy Baucom, president, and Carol Stewart, secretary.

Repl aces ' Crunch Day ’ With ' Munch Day ’ Millie Bradshaw and Sherry Kling look on as Richard Howell presents Charlie with Christmas thoughtfulness. Sandra High proudly displays her award-winning project of the 1964- 65 Science Fair, a Science Club project. Once again the Future Scientists of America proclaimed a day of teacher irritation, though with a somewhat dif¬ ferent approach. Leaving carrots and crunches to the rab¬ bits, the club utilized the theme of “Munch, munch, munch a bunch of apples.” Profits purchased books for the Science Department while excess apples were donated to the children of the Orthopedic Hospital. Extending their thanks to the cooks and custodians of Huss High, the would-be scientists gave them broiler hens and candy for remembrances at Christmas. Programs given during the year stimulated members in the various fields of science as well as emphasizing new branches of opportunity. Heading the club was Mrs. Daphene Allran, faculty advisor, along with Richard Howell, president. The Future Scientists of America officers were April Gray (treasurer), Carolyn Baird (vice president), Richard Howell (president) and Dinah Brindle (secretary).

Members Win District Honors Preparing for the district D.E.C.A. meeting are Danny McAbee, president, Pat Mc¬ Nichols, historian, and Louella Green, secretary. Climaxing the year with a very good record, the Distributive Education classes of Hunter Huss High School received top awards at thfe annual dis¬ trict meeting held on February 16, 1966. Top D.E. awards were accredited to Louella Green and Larry McAllister. Showing her ability to speak well to a large group, Pat McNichols took second place in public speaking. Studying the correct procedures of making sale displays payed off for Martha Cunningham as she took second place in sales demonstrations. The entire year consisted of attending monthly professional meetings and taking Hips in the distributive field. Decorating the display window for the year added that extra attraction as the D.E. students informed the student body of new fads, prices, and special occasions. The D.E.C.A. concluded the year by honoring their employers at the an¬ nual Bosses’ Banquet and attending the same convention. Representing Huss in the district advertising contest were Danny McAbee, Sharon Liverett, Pat Wofford, and Martha Cunningham. 160 Sponsoring the I.C.T. for the second con¬ secutive year is Mr. Don Kyles.

Club Studies Working World Freddie Lynn, gratifying his interest in cars, learns his skilled -occupation at Gaston Auto Clinic Body Shop. With an eye to the industrial world of skilled labor, students become members of the Industrial Co-operative Training Club. Involvement in I.C.T. eases the transition be¬ tween school and the working world. Helping the student to learn that a skilled occupation is important, work begins in the classroom and is divided into two different classifications: general related and techni¬ cal related material. General related material deals with all phases of employment while on the other hand technical related material deals with specific occupations. The I.C.T., under the sponsorship of Don Kyles, was organized in January of 1965 for all juniors and seniors who wished to learn a skilled occupation. It is affiliated with the Vocational Clubs of America which is connected with both state and vocational clubs.

The proceeds from the raffle of a 1951 Chevrolet went to pur¬ chase the proudly-worn lettermen jackets of Huss athletes. The Chevy “super-sports” was donated to the club by Mr. Bruce offord. The winning stub was drawn at a dance sponsored by the Freshman class. Unclaimed, the ticket was posted in the school lobby where sophomore Bruce Yelton pro¬ duced the remaining portion of the stub. Also Carolina blue and white sweatshirts were sold by the boys in an attempt to raise money. Athletes are recognized as members of the club by attaining a varsity letter as they participate for a designated period in Huss sports life, by undergoing a rigid initiation, and defending this letter throughout their high school years. Mike Smith, Danny Denton, presi¬ dent, and Bill Wofford point out the finer qualities of the ’51 Chevy that was given away at the Sadie Hawkins Dance.

Pep Club Bolsters Huss Being “too pooped to energetically pop” will never characterize the largest group of school spirit boosters at Huss, the Pep Club. True to its name, the membership led attendance and vocal support of the Huskies at all athletic contests and pep rallies. Their main objective of bolstering school morale was evinced through the sale of blue and white pompoms. However, the largest, yet most rewarding, chore for these Huss Students was the planning of Huss High’s first homecoming festivities. Working after school to decorate the .Ashley field and the Huss student center, members were reimbursed by the enthusiasm of the student body’s reception of Susan Sherrill, the first Huss Homecoming Queen. Assisting Miss Francis Mashburn, Mrs. Nell Edmundson, and Miss Annetter Garrison as club sponsors were President Nancy Holland and her active com¬ mittees. Morale Pep Club members help to arouse school spirit among other Huss students at the ball games. Officers of the Pep Club consisted of Nancy Holland, president; Lynda Thomas, trca9- arer; Johnny Alexander, sergeant at arms; Ann Hubbard, secretary; and Mr. Edmundson, co-sponsor. Absent were co-sponsors Misses Garrison and Mashburn. 163 NANCY HOLLAND Chief SHEILA MOSES Varsity Cheerleader Answering the call of the gridiron, the Huss varity cheerleaders began practice sessions in early August in readiness for the coming football games. Cheers echoed through empty halls as the girls worked hard to perfect new cheers and formations for the ’65-’66 season. The opening of school did not slacken these rehearsals. Since five of last year’s cheerleaders retained their positions, only three additional ones were selected to activate the blue and white varsity uniforms. “Go Huskies Go!” “B-E-A-T, beat Ashley!” rang from the of¬ ficial pep rallies held sixth period in the Huss gym, as excited students reacted to the cheerleaders’ yell appeal. Led by Nancy Holland, chief, and Mary Ann Allen, assistant chief, the cheerleaders attended all football and basketball games. 164 Answer Call of School Spirit MARY ANN ALLEN Assistant Chief SANDRA CHRISTOPHER 165 CONNIE CANNON—Chief “Practice makes perfect,” seems to be the motto of the J.V. cheerleaders as they practice after school. Jayvee and Freshman Cheerleaders SHERRY QUEEN—Assistant Chief “Attention! All girls who are interested in trying out for freshman cheerleaders, please report to Huss High on April 24,” seemed to have been a posted bulletin that thrilled almost every eighth grade girl at all Huss feeder schools. The selected young voices complemented the noteworthy efforts of the junior varsity girls. All the boisterous cries blended successfully in the world of Huss and the cheerleading system of the school became complete. Practicing began on August 1, and the J.V. cheerleading group taught the newly organized group all the teeming cheers. Everything seemed new to them but practicing led to perfection. For two days a week, they worked toward September and an active season. During the year both boosted morale by selling pom-poms, cheering at Pep Rallies, and shouting at all sports events. Their 1965-66 efforts made them worthy of the Carolina blue and the white that they wore. Spon¬ soring these cheering groups were Misses Frances Mashburn and Annette Garrison.

Assistant Chief—CAROL SMITH 167 Hanna Directs HUNTER Progress The Hunter office is continously traversed with hectic reporters busily following their ‘“beats”. Shouts of “Read this copy,” and “Is this ok?” fill the ears of each department editor. Each month it is this type of turbulence that prevails in the editing and publishing of The Hunter. In its fourth year of publication, The Hunter has become one of the bases of Huss’s school spirit, interpreting the newsworthy events of Huss High as well as providing a medium of expression for students interested in writing for publication. The opening of the school year saw a staff of only six members to edit, publish, and solicit advertising for the first edition. However, these handicaps were over¬ come by a competent first year class. ETnder the leadership of Mr s. Dinnah Ellis, editing of Mark Hanna and business management of Becky Morgan (sponsor, editor, and business manager, respectively), the newspaper offered content and material worthy of the student’s time and money. Mark Hanna, chief Hunter editor, discusses paper progress- and prowess with the staff.

Becky Morgan, business manager, checks the number of busi¬ nesses which have subscribed ads. Glenda Wilson dictates a change in an article while Linda Ferguson, chief-typist, makes the correction. Getting new layout ideas and writing heads were just two of the asks that Terry Calhoun, A1 Lewis, Hans Long, Tony Raby, Cheryl Caldwell, and June Merril did for the Hunter in making up the pages. Judy Gaultney and Diane Williams, both o£ the feature staff, argue over the right word as they prepare a feature article for approval. John Alexander, Sandra Christopher, and Carolyn Huggins, news editors, take time for the camera as they jot down news ideas. iSTRON Staff Edits Second Volume of Tradition Designing pages, writing copy, preparing picture schedules as well as overseeing all Astron progress were Mike Boyd’s 1965-66 “cup of tea.” Manager of the Astron finances, Bill Carter pauses at the top filing drawer where exclusive financial records were housed for the second edition of the school yearbook. Associate editors Lula Lail, Deedy Jolley and Ed Rankin invested time, creativity, and decision into taking primary action for this year’s yearbook. Before you is the second volume of tradition, the Astron, 1966 style. Behind the book are nine months of planning, hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. Within it is a pictorial and verbal re¬ view of ' the 1965-66 school year. In short, here is the year that was. And what a year it was! Homecoming, the Miss Huss Pag¬ eant, Southwestern 4-A ranking, football, snow, club activities, a new stadium, a new assistant principal, the loss of a de¬ voted Huskie administrator, the Ashley basketball game, wres¬ tling matches, and more—all are covered by the Astron. Differing from the first volume, this year’s Astron has ex¬ panded several of its sections. New areas are the Homecoming and Carrousel portions of the Personalities section. Athletics has been increased to encompass freshman sports participation, a double dedication to Mr. Bill Briggs and the Loyal Huskie Club is another innovation to be credited to the 1966 staff. Yet, the peak of creativity lies in the potentially drab advertising depart¬ ment where diamonds, triangles, and parallelograms relive the monotony of rectangles. However, these improvements have not come without work. Over-time was expected and received from the sections involved. This yearbook is a co-operative effort, with all staff members contributing and benefiting commensurately. No aspect of it is a “fly-by-night” affair, because every page, every picture, each word is the result of extended effort: Being an $8000-plus endeavor and requiring a part-time pro¬ fessional photographer, the 1966 Astron is an exercise in business management as well as creative thought. It is an effort impacted with devoted energies and sentiments. Eli Gaustad, Jane Withers, and Jackie Drum seek the advice of Miss Carriker, sponsor, in planning the faculty and administration section of the Astron. Sports co-editors Steve Dickson and Danny Denton found editing the sports section an effort that not only required their sports known-how but also their creativity, consistency, and time. Patron soliciters, Leonard Short and Nancy Holland, lessened the financial load of the ad¬ vertising staff by netting an income of $745.00. 170 . Preparing class rosters, identifying myriads of pictures, drawing up an Astron index and senior directory as well as designing and editing the class sec¬ tions, Susan Hollifield, Linda Allen, Kathy Hinkle, Becky Ratchford, Fred Barnett, Linda Garland, Linda Mosteller, and Phyllis Rhyne donated tedious and enjoyable hours to the cause of yearbook journalism. Personalities co-editors Ann Woody, Kim Hunter, Diana Brindle, and Carolyn Baird thumbed through almost countless pictures search¬ ing for “the” pictures for their section. Randall Jones, Astron artist, enhanced the quality of the 1966 Astron with his art work. Becky Morgan, Becky Welch, and Richard Howell co-editors of the Astron Organiza¬ tions section, invested long hours in writing copy, identifying club members, and drawing layouts. 171 Athletics Continually practicing for tomorrow while learning from past mistakes, each Huss athlete from the agile 95-pound wrestler to the massive 200-pound tackle to the lofty 6’6” basketball player—is a product of practice, skill, discipline, determination, and sacrifice—factors compulsory in the competitive world of sports. For hours of practicing rugged football scrimmages, tedious golf putts, endless foul shots, the athlete’s reward may range from victory to defeat, but always there remains the pride in wearing the Carolina blue and white of a Husky. Always there is the vision of the future—the next game, the next tournament, next year. In addition to the athletes, the excitement and thrill of sports sweep others onto the sports scene—the fans. Many times a team is boosted to victory by the yell of a crowd aflame with school spirit—a spirit that bursts from the hunger to win. Thus, for giving vitality and pride to the name “Husky”, each Huss athlete, whether found on the gridiron, court, mat, green, or diamond, is deserving of the title “cham¬ pion.” FIRST ROW; managers—Joe Wray, Scott Maxwell, Danny Jordan.

And that ' s the brand of football played within its borders, too. A pigskin squad must be even rougher and tougher to emerge victorious in a league with every team bent toward one ir¬ revocable goal—winning. Yes—victory, the extra point, the cheering crowds—these are the things which add impetus to a team’s win column; Yet, there is one more ingredient which must be regarded as a team’s major source of sustenance, and that is experience. Huss High’s first graduation exercises in June of 1965 bade farewell to the backbone of the football Huskies. Unlike basketball which lost only one senior to gradua¬ tion, football had only four players to return with real game experience. Ken Beach, Robby Spearman, Bobby Cody, or Picci Schrum could relate the rigors of the game—4-A style— Such sideline conferences as this one between Coach Russ Clark and Bill Wofford going into the conference opener with the champion Myers Park Mustangs. However Eddie Jarvis, A1 Jacobs, Ronnie Barnes, John Baker soon learned. Steve “Scooter” Dickson brought a touch of “know-how” to the backfield which was ably complemented by the play of Jerry Barker and Jim Yoshino. Looking to future football campaigns, Coach Clark filled the quarterback slot with Bill Wofford. With one season under his hip pads, Wofford will be able to lead the Huskies in another try next season. For their effort extended and interest invested in pigskin prowess, the 1966 Astron staff salutes the 1965 football Huskies. Co-captains Ken Mullinax and Steve Dickson were chosen to lead the Huskies through the 1965 season. 74 were common. Surveying the upcoming practice schedule which will eventually lead to varsity, junior varsity, and frosh football clashes are: trainer, Jon Childs; head football coach, Russ Clark; J.V. coach David Jones; freshman coach, Nikki Helms; and assistant varsity coach, Hugh Peeler. Clark Returns to Head Huss Sports Program Russ Clark, varsity football coach, athletic director, and track mentor, returned to Hunter Huss to take over the guidance of Huskie football endeavors. As the newest entrant in the Southwestern 4-A Confer¬ ence, the Huss Huskies had Russ Clark for its chief mentor. Returning from a year’s absence at Myers Park, Coach Clark became Athletic Director, head football coach, and track coach. Although not a newcomer to Huskie athletics, (being varsity basketball director during the 1963-64 sea¬ son), Coach Clark was new to his pigskin duties. Clark, a native of Newton, North Carolina, graduated from Catawba College, where he received his Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education. He obtained his M.A. degree in Physical Education from Appalachian State Teachers College in 1961. His college athletic career included bas¬ ketball and baseball. Before coming to Huss, Coach Clark held positions at Arlington Jr. High and Wray Jr. High, where he won three conference championships in basketball and one in track. His previous coaching jobs at Huss were as frosh football mentor and as head cage coach. His last year coaching as¬ signments were for the junior varsity basketball cagers of M) ers Park. Under his direction they copped the South¬ western 4-A J.V. basketball crown. 175 ROBBY SPEARMAN End BOBBY CODY Center RONNIE BARNES End RONNIE STOWE Center JERRY BARKER Halfback BILL WOFFORD Quarterback STEVE DICKSON Halfback ALBERT JACOBS Guard EDDIE JARVIS Guard KEN MULLINAX Tackle PICCI SCHRUM Guard KENNY BEACH Tackle GREG CHERRY Halfback JIMMY KISER Fullback ROBERT PYANT Halfback 177 Huskie Spirits Surge Despik Football came to Huss a la 4-A during the 1965 pigskin season. Playing host to strong conference and non-conference powers, the Huskies received the blows and bumps inherent to any fledgling squad. The unexpected twists of a football’s bounce were just as evident in the unforseen quirks on the Huss side of the scoreboard. Heralding the approach of fall, cold weather, excited fans, and friendly rivalries were the football drill sessions headed by past cage coach, Russ Clark. Coming from Myers Park. Coach Clark was not the only new addition to Huss’s varsity eleven. Mam of the boys were new, lacking in game know-how and in the funda¬ mental workings of the sport. However, Coach Clark used weeks of constant practice to alleviate this problem. The first play from scrimmage of the 1965 season bore out this thinking, as junior half-back Jerry Barker streaked down field for a 69-yard touchdown. Still the Shelby Lions rebounded to nip the Huskies 6-13. Hopes for a tie w ' ere doused as Shelby received the ball in the closing minutes of the game and proceeded to run out the clock. The following week Huss moved to its home away from home in Dallas. The champion Mustangs of Myers Park and its flashy halfback, Jim Kirkpatrick, rolled up an impressive 0-20 half-time tally. The Huskies stymied all second-half scoring efforts. The cross-town rival—Ashley—was the next to encounter the stiffening defense of the Huskies. A potent power in the conference, the Green Wave could only muster scores in first half action. The final score had the Greenies out front by 0-13. A new twist for Gastonia athletics followed as Huss began playing varsity- con¬ tests on Thursday nights. Meeting the Huskies in these mid-week encounters were East Mecklenburg (7-21), West Mecklenburg (0-19, South Mecklenburg (0-21), Harding (0-21), North Mecklenburg (6-46), and Belmont (0-7). Moving to the lone Saturday game, the Huskies took on Garinger. The Wildcats claimed the first of a double header in Memorial Stadium by a 6-39 score. Also a first to the Huss sports scene was the 1965 homecoming game, court, and dance. Even the 0-20 defeat at the hands of the Harding Rams could not dimi¬ nish the excitement of the evening. Climaxing the night’s festivities was the crowning of Susan Sherill by Principal Ba rtley Robbins. Perhaps, the greatest loss of the season aside from the Ashley game came in the season finale in Belmont. A stolid defense held the Raider offense until the fourth quarter when Adkinson plunged over the goal line for the touchdown The closing of this summation of 1965 Huss football ventures may best be said in the words of any team who has been shortchanged in the win-loss records, “Wait until next year!” Steve Dickson snags a pass despite the close cover¬ age of a defensive back. Halfback Jerry Barker hurdles Lion linemen in driving for yardage against the Shelby Defense. The toss of a coin warrants this meeting of Huss co-captains, Ken Mullinax and Steve Dickson, with the Ashley co-captains. 178 Its Fall to 4-A Competitors A staunch Huskie defensive line swarms a Shelby ball carrier. Bill Wofford picks up yardage around his left end on a quarter¬ back keeper. Line-backer Ken Mullinax dragged his Harding tackier several yards before going down. Ken had just snared a Ram pass in the first Home¬ coming game. J.

Pictured here is David Jones, Junior Varsity football coach. Coached by David Jones, Hunter Huss’ junior varsity football team came on strong in the closing four games of the season to grab three victories. After dropping the first five conference contests by sizeable spreads, the junior Huskies eased by South Mecklenburg 27-26. Belmont’s junior Raiders suffered a 21-0 Huskie growl. Moving toward a climax, the Huskies copped Harding’s Little Rams with a 39-0 tally, wreaking revenge in a small way for the varsity homecoming clash with Harding. Despite overpowering losses to future conference foes, the junior varsity Huskies consistently displayed the sparks of spirit and hustle against usually larger opponents. The addition of these boys to var¬ sity standing will fill gaps not only in the starting eleven but also in ' the all important bench-warming. An unknown Huss defender succeeds in downing a Belmont Raider at¬ tempting to sweep by the right side of the Huskie defensive unit. I 80 Huss Initiates Freshman Ball Pictured here is Nikki Helms, fresh¬ man football coach. The freshman Huskies, coached by Nikki Helms fresh from Applachian, finished the season with a 1-5 record. Resulting from a 7-6 score, the lone frosh victory came in a contest with the baby Yellow Jackets of Bessemer City. However, the Bessemer City gridders reversed the score in the next encounter to hand the Huskie pups their third defeat. Clover was the only squad which romped over the Huss boys by a 0-36 score. Yet, in a return engagement the Sand Lappers could only muster a 6-7 defeat for the ever improving Huss—fresh¬ man team. All totaled, only eight points separated the fledgling squad from a win¬ ning 4-2 record. Leaders of the freshman football were Hugh Sherrill, Knox Winget, James Phillips, and Ken Brumley.

Jones ' s Coaching Philosophy Pays Off A year containing eighteen losses as opposed to only two wins was required before Coach David Jones’ basketball philosophy began to work. The only way to play is to play for the marbles, for the basket, for the win. Anything else is just not enough. Directing a squad of predominantly underclassmen, Coach Jones has initiated this ideal for generations of Huskies to come. Not only does Coach Jones merely proport his beliefs, he evinces it in anything he does. He readily gives all of himself and demands as much from his cagers. David Jones is an alumnus of Western Carolina College in Cullowhee, North Carolina. Here he gained his working knowl¬ edge of basketball fundamentals and finesse. Following gradua¬ tion, he held a coaching position at Sylva-Webster High School in the western section of the state. Head basketball coach Dave Jones served his second year as chief caging mentor. 182 Ashley Falls Prey to Huss in Final 66 Tilt “Experience” is an integral part of an endeavor. It is an intangible that can make or break any undertaking. At Huss this advantage solidified a group of boys who last year won only two games into this year’s co-ordinated team which posted 10 wins. As competition began in 1964-65 season, three sophomores, a junior, and a lone senior composed the starting five. Formed largely by these boys lacking game experience, that team could only hope to prepare for the 1965-66 campaign. Now at the close of that season seniors Danny Denton, and James Turpin along with juniors Ronnie Barnes, Mike Smith, and John Alexander comprise the nucleus of the hoop squad. Sophomore whiz Bobby Gallagher near the season’s end chipped a bone in his ankle during the waning minutes of the Huskie victory over North Mecklenburg to remove him from the line-up. Although Huss lost its fast-break edge, John Alexander’s height increased Huskie rebounding potential as he moved from the bench to the floor. Reserve strength improved too, as seniors Ed Rankin or Gene Myers, effectively left their seats to replace the starters. Junior depth was realized in Bill Wofford’s and Bill Hannon’s substitution. December fulfilled the expectations of students and players alike as Huss clinched five of its first seven games. With the offense geared to the fast-break, the cagers averaged over 74 points per game. Weather-wise and season-wise, January proved to be a dismal way to begin a new year. Dropping the first four contests, Huss also yielded a 55 to 50 victory to Ashley. However, the Huskies claimed fifth place in the Southwestern 4-A Conference by ripping the Green Wave tide on a 54-45 tally. From a 20-20 half-time deadlock, the Huskies broke the game open by scoring eleven points while the Greenies could only muster two. Maintaining their nine point spread, the Huss hoopsmen captured the laurels of victory from Ashley clutches. Wild enthusiasm reigned as the Huskies grabbed their first basketball victory over Ashley. Drawing to a close, the season left the Huskies tied for fifth place with South Mecklenburg and anxiously awaiting the conference tournament. Only deadlines prevent coverage of tournament play. The ASTRON wishes the squad the best of luck; the boys already have the skill and experience needed.

Height, speed, and ability characterized the Little Huskies as they moved into the conference tournament seeded in sixth place. Even though the J.V. squad was forced to yield sophomore Bobby Gallagher to the varsity ranks, their brand of basketball was enough to topple six conference foes. The ball handling and fast-break technique of Joe Lovin and Jon Ingram complemented the height of Gene Troutman, Clark Bean, and Tommy Dixon under the board. Moving into this first coaching assignment was Ed Barnes, a graduate of Western Carolina College. New to the coaching pro¬ fession, Coach Barnes did an effective job of leading the J.V.’s in their preparation for varsity rating. Jayvee Gene Troutman seeks playing strategy from Coach Ed Barnes.

Freshman Huskies Champion Jr. High Conference Undefeated in ten games in the 1966 season, the Huss High freshman basket¬ ball squad rated distinction among fans and competitors. Coached by Hiram “Junior” Baucom, the baby Huskies posted a 11-1 standing for the year, a record unrivaled by any 1965-66 Huss team. A well-balanced squad, the baby Huskies had both height and scoring skill to their credit. With the assistance of Ronnie Doster, Bill Price, and Mickey Harris, the team claimed both close and overwhelming victories throughout the season. Well pleased with his boys Coach Baucom was as optimistic about the boys’ potential as well as pleased with this year’s progress. If improvement continues, a bright caging future is in store for the Huskies. A newcomer to Huss, Coach Hiram Baucom looks over the upcoming schedule for his fresh¬ man squad. FIRST ROW: Morrison Ford, Robert Alexander, Butch Jacobs, Todd Robinson, Tommy Robinson, Ronnie Doster. SECOND ROW: Rod McRainey, Bill Price, Mickey Harris, Ken Brumley, Jeff Patton.

FOURTH ROW: Joe Deaton, Billy Cunningham, Jack Hogan, Billy Mathis. A new year, a new team, a new coach—all of these fore¬ boding aspects of the 1966 wrestling Huskies united to effect a welcomed winning record. Coming from A.S.T.C. to fill the coaching post vacated by Mack Welborn was former Chari ot- tean. Nikki Helms. At Huss Coach Helms teaches biology and physical education as well as leading the wrestling and the frosh football programs. Also he assists with the golf team. “I think we had a fine team this year, even though our re¬ cord wasn’t the best. As anyone can see from the scores of our defeats, the matches were close. A couple of wins in each match could have pushed our record up to 11-1.” Looking tc the future, Coach Helms wonders about the con¬ tinued grappling success at Huss. After graduation in June, only eight boys will remain to perpetuate Huskie prowess in this sport of strength, speed, and timing. Although not a member of the Huss faculty, the Astron can¬ not fail to acknowledge the tremendous and unselfish contribu¬ tion of Mr. Gary Tiddy to the 1966 grapplers. Coming from Grier ever} - afternoon Mr. Tiddy freely forfeited his leisure time to aid Coach Helms with the coaching chores. Taking referee’s position, David Bryson and his op¬ ponent “tense up” for second-period start. Coaches Tiddy and Helms give instructions to Jackie Drum during a break in his match. 1965-66 WRESTLING SCORES Huss Opponent Country Day 36 21 East Mecklenburg 37 17 South Mecklenburg 23 27 Myers Park 21 27 Garringer 35 20 Harding 24 30 West Mecklenburg 38 11 East Mecklenburg 32 24 West Lincoln 40 13 West Lincoln 45 17 Myers Park 15 39 North Mecklenburg 27 24 Grapplers in 8-4 Winning Season Anxious for a Huskie pin, the bench looks on. Tension, a primary provocative of high school wres¬ tling, is shown on the faces of Ann Hubbard, Nancy Hol¬ land, and Beth Whitener. a 1 Wrestling for the first year as full-fledged 4-A Conference grapplers, the Huss wrestling squad depended heavily on Gary Black, Vince Smith, and Steve Dickson, who scored 150 of their 373 seasonal points. With an 8-4 winning slate, the seven¬ teen-man Huskie team racked up their opponents by a margin of 103 points for the season (373 to 270). At the midpoint of the ’66 campaign, the Huss grapplers found themselves squared at 3-3. Country Day, East Meck¬ lenburg, and Garinger fell to the Huskies, but the tables turned as South Mecklenburg, Myers Park, and Harding defeated the Huskie home squad. At this point the Huskies went to work. Of their six remaining matches, they triumphed over five, losing only one to the strong Myers Park team. Falling prey to the home grapplers were West Mecklenburg, East Mecklenburg, North Mecklenburg, and West Lincoln (twice). Huss’s second match with West Lincoln grossed them their greatest point ad¬ vantage of season—a 28-point difference with a score of 45 to 17. These five successes greatly augmented the Huskie mat team’s momentum. With district finals only two days away from their last victory, it is the Huskie hope that this newly acquired momentum will enhance victory in these upcoming district and state meets. Team rivalry in these finals now transfers to in¬ dividual competition. This 1965-66 grappling season completes Huss’s fourth year on the wrestling mats. This year’s record of eight wins and four losses complements last season’s perfect record of nine wins and no losses—an unbeaten season! Also the ’65 grapplers came home from state competition in Boone, ranking fourth in the state and boasting two state champions, Steve Dickson and Mike Smith. As press time nears, the 1966 Astron hopes mount for Huskie contenders and accompany them on their conquest of their 1966 state opponents. It is our hope that Huss’s position on the North Carolina mats will remain high. WESTERN DISTRICT RESULTS (Deadline Release): Steve Dickson—First Dwaine Smith—Second Vince Smith—First Ken Mullinax-—Third Gary Black—Second Bobby Cody—Fourth Dennis Lovin—Second Steve Dickson was selected by district coaches as the most outstanding district wrestler. He and the other six finalists will represent Hunter Huss at the upcoming meet in Salisbury, North Carolina. Lightweight Jack Hogan, who has complete con¬ trol, pressures his victim. Pre-game strategy is discussed here by Coach Nikki Helms and hi9 154 lb. wres¬ tler, Billy Mathis. Dennis Lovin, Huss’s 95 lb. light-weight, goes through his daily routine of closely checking his weight. Quick for a heavyweight, a “walk around” is being executed by Bobby Cody. During Huss’s J.V. match with West Lincoln, Vin¬ cent Smith sets his man up for a pin. Clinching up his half nelson, Sammy Lamm dies in for his pin. 192 193 Waiting for the third-period whistle to sound, Ken Mullinax and opponent take time “to breathe.” Dwaine Smith maneuvers the opponent into his much-practiced “banana split” for a skillful pin. Wrestling from the down position, Arthur Spencer attempts a “hip over” to gain control. In pre-season practice, Dwaine Smith leads the pack of sweating grapplers in their jaunt through the school.

Invested in these sports will be the skills of some sixty boys. Coaching the teams will be Russ Clark (track), Dave Jones fgolfj. Charles Hamilton (tennis), and Jerry Bryson (baseball), Pre-season track practice under the direction of Coach Russ Clark began the first week in February. These early work-outs were hampered by the uncompromising rainy weather. How¬ ever, as the weather improved practice began in earnest. Coach Clark commenting of the strengths and weaknesses of the team said that Huss may be weak in relays and pole vaults because of lack of participation and experience. “Calvin Woods in the 100 and 220 yd. dashes, Robert Pyant in the hurdles, Mike Smith in the discus and shot put, and Greg Cherry in the 440 yard dash are expected to be Huss standouts this season. High¬ lights of the track season will be Duke-Durham relays on April 16, the 4-A conference meet May 5, the sectional meet on May 30. Spring Sports Prospects WALTER GRIGGS Baseball JERRY FAIR Golf MIKE THROWER Tennis The teeing of a golfball, the swinging of a driver, and the cry of “fore” will again greet the Huss golfers this spring. Coach David Jones is expecting an experienced squad with good depth to compete for Huss this year. Dan Jacobs, Jerry Faire, Bill Woody, Wayne Lutz, and the Wallace brothers, Hugh and Phil, should provide most of the action for the team. Inter-team com¬ petition as well as conference rivalry should provide for a strong team. Huss will enter 4-A competition in tennis for the first time this year. Under the leadership of Charles Hamilton, the Huskies began practice February 9 at Lineberger Park with 22 boys. Huss will play teams from the Southwestern 4-A Conference and Gaston College. Mike Thrower, John Ingram, and Steve Price are expected to play a large part in the success of Huss’s tennis season. An oddity will exist this year in the fact that Huss and Ashley, arch rivals, will practice and work closely together to in¬ crease each other. Making no predictions but backing the teams with enthusiastic support, the Astron hopefully salutes the 1966 spring efforts. Baseball Hopeful Beginning on February 14 during the “monsoon season,” this year ' s baseballers began their pre-season workouts. Cur¬ rently the boys are practicing on the soaked field behind the gvm. Despite the foul weather and lack of facilities, the placers are starting to come around,” comments their Coach. Jerrv Bryson. Coach Bryson predicts that Joe Bates, Jerry Barker, and Danny Denton, all pitchers, as likely stand¬ outs on the 66 hall team. Commenting on the coming season Coach Brcson explains “I’m optimistic about our team and am quite sure that we’ll do better than last year’s. But it’s really too early to say much.” The competition will come from the strong 4-A teams and Belmont Abbey’s freshman team. If this year’s team skills are anything like their new coach’s, they should have no worries. Coach Bryson, who played hall at Carolina and Pfeiffer, won placement on the All-Southern Team his senior year while at Pfieffer. Also during his senior year he was chosen captain of his team.

North Carolina Office of the Astron Hunter Huss High School Gastonia, North Carolina March 1, 1966 Not only holding the key that un¬ locked the Astron door. Editor-in-Chief Mik, Boyd held one of the main keys that furnished success for the 1966 Astron. Dear J immy, We’re through! 1 simply can ' t believe it. The writing, the re-writing, the re-re-writing—all of it is over. Oh! those layouts, those pictures, those picture schedules, that copy, making all those plans—every last minute detail has been finished. Now I realize how you must have felt when you sent Astron I to Taylor last year—triumphant and a little “pooped.” My only anxiety lies in the hope of producing an equally ' successful second volume—a job that solicited extra energies. Realizing that both books cover basically the same thing —Huss school life—they will have much in common. Yet, much staff creativity was spent in making the 1966 Astron as different as possible from the 1965 version, while answering to our journalistic commandments. We enlarged athletics, personalities, the opening section, and the advertising portions of the book. Since the two volumes are the same size, the extra pages came from last year’s history ' section. How about those ads; don’t they look “tuff?” Bill Carter can take credit for making our ad section distinctive, and I do mean it’s unique! As I write this letter, Jane Withers, Linda Mosteller, Becky Ilatchford, Susan Hollifield, and Carolyn Baird are sitting in a huddle suffering mental constipation in their caption-writing. Yet this doesn’t mean that they have run out of things to talk about. “Gossip” is running rampant. Such has been the air of informality that permeated the production of the 1966 Astron. However, another time might have found them typing on our two archaic type¬ writers, creating copy, or drawing lay-outs on triplicates. The finished product bears shades and shadows of both in¬ fluences. A few errors may have slipped into our pro¬ duct, but their scarcity is not comparable to the number of original ideas found therein Do you know that it is finally hitting me that we are totally and finally through! The work, the nights, the thought, the hours are kaput! Do you remember how you felt packing the completed pages into the shipping package? Melancholy, triumphant, ready to get it back! The co¬ operation, friendship, the dependence, and sweat shared by the staff are a brand of their own. Co-operation would have to be the word to characterize Astron II. Only a dedicated group could master the monumental task of mirroring 180 days of varied activities with picture and pen. Yet, the ’66 statf cannot claim all of the credit. Without Miss Carriker’s active advice and guidance, the character of this annual would be dishearteningly dull. Joe Davis is another to whom we owe thanks. The monetary support from Gaston business and patrons along with student sub¬ scriptions made the Astron a financial reality. A com¬ plete list of contributing factors would include the Gas¬ tonia Gazette, Mr. Dave Beaty, Mr. John Bruce, Mr. lloget for his Thesaurus, faculty members (including Mrs. Johns¬ ton—she bought a subscription), clubs, and many others. One of the largest debts of gratitude we owe is to “the 1965 crew” for pioneering annual production at Huss. As you and I know and as future editors will realize, this annual is not just a publication for the Huss student body, it is a publication by the Students. Comprehensive as well as concentrated effort was the moving force behind the 1966 Astron. Enjoy our product as much as we enjoyed yours, and we will be gratified. See you soon! Sincerely yours, Editor-in-Chief The 1966 Astron Characterizing annual production was the informality captured here in a night typing session by class co-editor, Linda Mosteller.
