The Ram Mary Potter High School Oxford, N.C. Table of Contents Foreword Administration Yearbook Staff Dedication Faculty Seniors Departments Classes Features Clubs Sports Elementary Memorial Ads Patrons BURNICE ROYSTER, Co-Editor CHARLENE ANDERSON, Editor A Message to Our Classmates To be a successful publication a yearbook must fulfill its obligation to the students and school. If a student, per- using his yearbook, can place himself in a scene or can enjoy an accomplishment, the yearbook has succeeded. Also, if the actions in the school by teachers, administra- tors, and students ate correctly portrayed, then the yearbook has succeeded. We tried our best to capture all of your activities in school, and activities out of school so that when you will have grown old, your fond memories will brighten your future days. This yearbook is very important because it expresses us, the students and teachers at Mary Potter High School. To Everything There is a Time These ate the young years, the fruit- ful years when time means only the day after tomorrow. These are the years of wistful-eyed beings with tender dreams, but youth is, as you may know, brutal as well as tender, and youth is reality as well as a dream. To Everything There is a Time Charlene Anderson, Editor Burnice Royster, Co- Editor pr r The Administration Our County Superintendents MR. D. N. HIX, Superintendent Hearty congratulations to those students and their sponsor for the production of this splendid yearbook. To those whom this yearbook is dedicated comes a reward for years of outstanding service. To all students this thought on education by Danel Webster: “Knowledge does not com- prise all which is contained in the large term of education. The feelings are to be disci- plined; the passions are to be restrained; true and worthy motives are to be inspired; profound religious feelings are to be instilled, and pure morality inculcated under all cir- cumstances. All this is comprised in educa- tion.” 1 wish to each of you a life of success and happiness. MR. L. C. ADCOCK, Assistant Superintendent The Principal’s Message Our institution’s tradition is in its products which we produce, and it is you who represent those ideals and hopes that we have long awaited. It is with great pleasure that I extend to each of you sincere congratulations on reaching this period in your development, I hope the years that you have spent here with us have been profitable, interesting, resourceful, and enjoyable. Many of your loved ones will rejoice with you in your achievement, it wiu ue my tervent prayer that you will continue success , in the next developmental stage of your life, May God bless you, and you give to the world the best that you have. ■ ' ■ JIMMIE VAUGHN MORRIS, . • : Principal : Mr. Morris chats with the senior girls during their lunch hour. MRS. MARY SCOTT, Our Counselor Mrs. Mary Scott, our energetic school counselor, ponders over some test, materials for the SAT and PSAT tests which is administered by her twice a year. A Big Task Nobody realizes the big task a counselor has to undertake dur- ing the school year. One of the most interesting programs Mrs. Scott sponsored this year for the seniors and their parents was The Post Graduate Pro- gram. The parents and sen- iors had the opportunity to dis- cuss certain needed informa- tion about their choice of en- deavor. The parents and sen- iors were able to secure vital information. We, the seniors, think that this program should be an annual program for all students. Our School Secretary, MRS. E. PARKER Mrs. E. Parker, our school secretary , seems to enjoy counting money, and typing reports. She has stated many times that Mr. Bass is a great help to her in assisting her with the various reports. The students and teachers find her helpful also. She is always willing to. make the various announcements for them. The secretary’s job is not as easy as it seems. The Yearbook Staff Staff members, Joan Greenwood and Burnis Royster, work diligently to have page lay- outs constructed. Emma Herndon prepares some students to have their photos taken. Yearbook Theme: To capture the students’ memories in pictures and words Omega Peace toils behind a typewriter for hours preparing photos for mailing. After a hard day ' s night Albert Wins- ton and Abraham Daye pack up work sheets for later completion. The members of the Yearbook Staff are as busy as a bee. Mrs. N. McCoy, and Mr. Platt ate happy because they have interest- ed students who want to produce one of the finest yearbooks. They have sponsored various programs for the purpose of raising money for the yearbook, even a Baby Con- test Program. Hope Picket, Burnice Royster, Yvonne Peace and Alpha Peace understand that hard work is the key to success. The Yearbook Staff Our Advisors are at their best at Miss Charming Senior Pageant Contest . Mrs. N. McCoy, Mr, L. Platt, and Miss T. Howard were pleased with the program. The armory was packed with The members of the yearbook can ' t believe that the yearbook is completed!

Barnes Thomas Barnett Adline Allen Patricia Bass Dedication Priscilla Bobbitt Annie Brandon We, the advisors, and members of the yearbook staff, have never had the opportunity to honor ex-graduates. Knowing that you showed an excel- lent example of outstanding seniors, we do not hesitate to nominate you, the 1967 Senior Class, as our dedi- catees. As you gaze at your photos of your activities last year at Mary Potter, we are sure that they will bring back memories you will never forget. You, too, may gaze at our activities and add another excellent year of joy, and excitements that we, too, will always remember.

May he continue on and on! As we, the seniors, go into this world of darkness and confusion thinking that it is the end, we know that each day brings us to the beginning, not the end. We, therefore, permit you to gaze upon out past bright days at Mary Potter. You must remember, also, that this isn ' t our end; it is our daring beginning.

Read- ing comprehension is one of their objectives. 1 Science These students are getting their posters ready for their Post Graduate Night, which will bring together seniors from several schools in the district and rep- resentatives of various colleges. These students on the left seem to be planning for a big interesting chemistry experiment for the prac- tical experience. The students from the sophomore class look for- ward to studying chem- istry during their junior year. There was a time when students would avoid the science courses, but now, there seems to be a new interest in various science courses at Mary Potter. Mrs. M. Scott, our counselor, created the idea because she felt that the sen- iors will receive vital information con- cerning the colleges, and what they have to offer. The program gave the parents an opportunity to talk with the various colleges and trade representa- tives about the futures of their children. The program was attended by three hundred seniors and many parents. The seniors felt that the program should be an annual event for the students in their country. Parents and students are able to share the same vital information. Since that this program was a great success, it has awaken the other stu- dents about their future career.

An advanced course in math is also offered to the students. Mr. L. Platt is teaching his students to write precis and resumes. The students are also given the opportunity to be critical in their reading on various topics. Mr. King ' s class is thinking deeply about the economy of the world. This is an economics class. The seniors learn about the system of their country. MR. C. KING Economics The students ate learning the fundamentals of economics. This course gives the senior the knowledge of buying and spending. This knowledge helps the seniors who must know how to handle their various problems. Mr. Cox’s students are getting the fundamentals of I. V. E. through books and filmstrips. The ninth grade students en- joy this course. I.V.E. courses started four years ago, and the student body could hardly wait until these students presented their chapel pro- gram. Since that we do not have a place to have chapel programs, the students have realized what they are missing. j Mary Potter teachers help shape our thinking. We look to them for Guidance, under- standing, and friendship as they help us prepare for the future.

I was interested in our big presentation for the community, and I wanted it to be a big success — you see, seniors are supposed to do great things. There were many senior girls, and I was happy to be one of them. I tried to encourage the girls, and be happy during the practices. 1 even offered my candid opinion to many of my classmates, and advisors. I was thrilled when my name was called by Mrs. McCoy for the title of Miss Congeniality. I was com- pletely shocked ! ! After the program, 1 rushed home and looked in the dic- tionary for the definition of congeni- ality. After I had read the definition, 1 found out one thing . . . the title really expresses ME!
