Mercer County High School - Highlander Yearbook (Harrodsburg, KY)

Text from Pages 1 - 176 of the 1967 volume:

The Annual Staff Mercer County High School Has Herein Captured for You Moments That Made the THE 1967 HIGHLANDER Volume 12 H arrodsburg, Kentucky Moments in the Library If we reword the old adage, ‘Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, to “Gather ye knowledge while ye may,” we may truly express the atmosphere of learning in the library. Throughout the rows of battered, torn, oft-read books lie keys which unlock the doors of fantasy, history, adventure, and intrigue. The thirst of a student desiring to learn more may be quenched by information ranging from zoology to Eng- lish literature. These book-filled rows are a guide and help to those who use them. Students, realizing the neces- sity of a well-read person in today’s society, are surely gathering knowledge while given the opportunity. Inscription, Library of Berlin, Books, Food for the Soul’ Books are a guide in youth And an entertainment for age.

Daily class routines are perhaps the richest grounds for the growing of friendships. As we prepare for tests, work cooperatively on the class float, sell Stanley products, plan a prom or graduation, or strug- gle long hours to complete the annual; we share common interests, in themselves enough to establish friendship. Every moment at Mercer, without exception, is an opportune one for friendship. Throughout the coming years, these friendships will endure. Robert Browning The bird a nest, The spider a web, A man friendship. William Blake Would you believe that the wrong size chairs were sent by the supply company? Some people like to keep their noses to the grindstone. The heat’s on!!!! Ungarded Amalie, do you always sit down like that? It's housecleaning time. Moments 'A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse Ouija, Ouija. tell me the answer true. Join me for a picnic? For this boy FEEDS AND FEEDING is not a book. . . It's his illegal candy store. Moments of and Although many of our hours are filled with endless study, we manage to find time for fun and frolic. Knowing our moments of leisure are limited, we try to make the most of ballgames, sock-hops, class get-togethers, dances, and the occasional moments of hilarity which occur in even the most orderly classroom. “All work and no play” will never make us dull. Spirit aroused at pep rallies carries over to the game. Initiations are often the highlight of a student’s freshman year. Whether we dress as Romans for Foreign Language initiation or as absurdly as do the boys and the girls for FFA and FH A, our induction into the club of our choice and our initiation are memor- able events. Yuletide The Yule season calls for decoration. During December, students and teachers diligently carried out the Christmas theme. Displays included a tree made from Christmas cards. As an entry for the annual door decorating contest, Mrs. Hatcher's homeroom created the first-place display--a huge, smiling Santa. All were busy as the classes prepared floats for the Harrods- burg Christmas parade, in which the sophomores and seniors won third place. Most certainly, the boys' rest room choir reflected the spirit of the season. Moments The first snow of the season caught our school at its loveliest, but the snow disappeared from the school grounds before Christmas morning. Realizing that Christmas is a time for sharing, the Library Club visited a rest home, taking fruit and small gifts. During the visit, a Christmas program was pre- sented . The clock in the library was transformed into a plump-faced little man called Santa Claus by his faithful followers. A Moment's Glance We of Mercer County have inherited a vast cultural and historical background. Here can be found the remains of ancient Indian villages, the cave where Daniel Boone spent one winter, the Old Mud Meeting House built by mem- bers of the Dutch Reformed Church, Salt River, Chaplin River, and Dix River which was named Dick’s River by the Long hunters for an old Indian called Captain Dick. All are important places in our early days. Harrodsburg, our county seat, is the oldest permanent settlement in Kentucky. Harrod's Fort was settled by Captain James Harrod, June 16, 1774. Though forced by Indian raids to leave, Harrod and his men returned the next spring, their women and children following in the fall. into Our History Here George Rogers Clark lived while planning his attacks on the British forts in the Old Northwest. Here Ben Logan brought his family one bad winter. Here the first white child was born in Kentucky, and here later Rachel Jackson, “The President's Lady, lived with her first husband, Louis Robards. Here the first court was held in Kentucky as well as the first school. The children used smooth boards for paper and the juice of ox galls for ink. Their only books were Bibles and hymnals. To the north, the adventuresome McAfee brothers settled McAfee Station and laid out the town of Salvis a. The age of the buffalo, the bear, and the Indian is past. However, the hardy spirit of the Long Hunters who roamed our land and the pioneers who settled it still sur- vives in their descendants in Mercer today. At the big tree outside the fort, it is easy to close one’s eyes and listen for the laughter of pioneer children, the voices of pioneer men and women at work, or the stealthy step of a lurking Indian, but all are gone, long, long, ago. Pleasant Hill was established by a religious cult of Shaking Quakers. In 1812 the colony acquired 3,000 acres of fertile farm land in Mercer County and inaugurated a large-scale building pro- gram. The Shakers were prosperous, industrious people who believed in Chris- tian socialism. Their quaint customs and extraordinary beliefs are of great in- terest. The multi-million dollar restor- ation of this unusual settlement now in progress means much to all of our county. Board Members Mr. James McMurry, Chairman Mr. Lloyd Mayes, Jr. Mr. A.T.

Gary Keller Secretary Jane Morris Treasurer Sharon Brock Chaplain Hannah Foster Sponsor Mrs. Jones The Mercer County High School Beta Club, a na- tional scholastic honor society, is a non-profit, leader- ship-service organization for high school students, who meet the requirements of worthy character, good men- tality, creditable achievement and commendable atti- tude. Prospective members who have met the scholastic requirements receive invitations to the organization in their sophomore year. Next comes the traditional initi- ation night and chapel program at which the initiates of- ficially become members. This year twenty-three new members were inducted into the Beta Club. As the Beta Club is a service organization, this year s project was raising funds for the Mercer County Band uniforms. This Club also sponsors the annual teacher's appreciation week activities. In addition to the banquet in the teachers' honor, small presents such as note pads, pens, and shiny red apples were presented throughout the week. Funds for these projects were raised by the magazine sales. Also, delegates attended the State convention in Louisville in December. Mer- cer's nominee for state president was Jane Morris, the first girl to run for that office in twenty-six years. Beta Club Student Council Officers President Clayton Mize V. -Pres. Cathy Phillips Secretary Beverly Shouse Treasurer Roxie Stratton Reporter Christine Chilton Sponsors Mr. Pinkston Mr. Gill Since the Student Council represents the student body, its main purpose is to cooperate with the staff in solving school problems. Other activities this year have been: attending the Kentucky Association of Student Councils Convention in Owensboro, and presenting a plaque in memory of Gary Catlett to the school. The Student Council consists of twenty-three mem bers, twelve of whom are permanent members. Each year four Freshmen are elected to become permanent members, and they retain these positions until they are graduated. Permanent Council Members 90 Our Student Council delegates at the auditorium in Owensboro High School gained new ideas as they met with young people from other schools throughout the state.

The Pep Club sponsors the annual athletic banquet which honors Mer- cer's sports participants and cheerleaders. Pep Club Officers President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Reporter Sponsor Mike McKinney John Deskins Regina Wells Judy Gibson Barry Currens Mrs. Peavler Le Cercle Francais. by purchasing records, French magazines, and visual aids, has tried to promote interest in the language, people, and culture of France. This year members have enjoyed trying out French recipes and bringing samples of their cuisine to class. The boys were particularly proud of their culinary efforts. The highlight of their festivities came in the spring when dinner was prepared with an all French menu. All members became chefs for the occasion. The members of the French Club have enjoyed decorating their bulletin board with French scenes and copies of paintings by French artists and playing Bingo as well as other games while speaking French. Le Cercle Francais Officers President Vice-President Secretary -Treasurer Sponsor Beverly Shouse Cathy Phillips Gametta Rawlings Mrs. Whitehead The main purpose of the Foreign Language Club is to create additional interest in the languages and people whom we study.

The FHA sponsored the Sadie Hawkins Dance and the Christmas Dance. Our FHA members have participated in two nation al FHA projects: Leisure Time--Constructive Time and Individuality Counts. National FHA Week is ob- served and many members attend District and State Meetings. Junior and Senior FHA The National Emblem of the Future Farmers of America is significant and meaningful in every detail. Used by members in all recognized units of the organi- zation, it is made up of five symbols: the owl, the plow, the rising sun, and a cross section of an ear of corn which is surmounted by the American Eagle. Upon the face of the emblem appear also the words, Voca- tional Agriculture. and the letters, FFA. The owl is symbolic of wisdom and knowledge; the plow is the symbol of labor and tillage of soil; the rising sun is emblematic of progress and the new day that will dawn when all farmers are trained and have learned to cooperate, the cross section of an ear of corn represents common agricultural interests since com is native to America and grown in every State: and the eagle is in- dicative of the national scope of the organization.

An outstanding club in leadership, the FFA participates actively in Field Day, FFA Convention, and the FFA Leadership Training Cen- ter. We are particularly proud of our Parliamentary Procedure Team. Many members participate and poise and leadership are developed. At Field Day last year the team won a rating of Superior which shows outstanding achievement. Russell Brock, a graduate of Mercer County High, was the Dis- trict Star Farmer and Billy Ransdell received the Out- standing Leadership Award at camp this past summer. Only three of these awards are given. We think that this is an outstanding achievement. Senior and Sophomore FFA 101 Jane IV ?rris Billie Jean King Officers Pres. Vice-Pres. Sec. Rep. Sponsor Hannah Foster Rita Logue Jill Votaw Ketrina Lake Mr. McMurry 4-H Club The Mercer County High School 4-H Club serves as a youth organization aimed at developing its individual club members into young people who learn by doing as stated in the club motto. As the members set high goals for achievement, they attempt to make the best better in projects covering every field of interest--from sewing to dairy cattle. Throughout the years, the mem- ber advances through levels of achievement. Most 4-H members at Mercer have successfully completed at least four years of a project and are now working at difficult phases of their chosen field. During the year, such activities as demonstration night and speech night give each participant the oppor- tunity to gain poise in public speaking. County, dis- trict, and state fairs give each young person the chance to exhibit in competition the products of the year's work. Exhibits are ranked according to the Danish system, or the blue, red, and white ribbon method. The winner of each event automatically advances to higher competi- tion. Foremost in each member's mind is the coveted trip to National 4-H Congress in Chicago. At the end of the year, certificates of completions are awarded; how- ever, the rewards of learning by doing are for more outstanding. Band and Chorus Andrew J. May, Director The twenty-four members of Mercer's chorus have provided entertainment this year for assembly, programs and concerts. In a cooperative effort with the band, the chorus sponsored a va- riety show during fall festival. During the 1966-67 school year, the Mercer County Band played not only for football and basketball games, but in several assemblies at Mercer, in the Harrodsburg Christmas parade, and in regional competition. Undoubtedly, the arrival of the new band uniforms was one of the outstanding events of the year for the band. The new concert uniforms consist of white coats with gold trim, cardinal red trousers, and red plumes on the Shako style hats. The marching uniform adds a West Point style car- dinal red overlay on the front and back of the white coats. The excellent performances of the band are the result of many hours of practice. Band members carry out the band program during the summer; they partici- pate in many community functions and have been asked to play in Danville festivities this June.

Peyton Aubrey Morris Throughout the year, the Mercer High Parent - Teacher Association has strived to improve the facil- ities of Mercer County High School. We owe much to their efforts. The PTA has donated a food warmer to the school, a record player to the commerce department, and a camera and projector to the Booster Club. Also, this organization paid half the purchase price of an over- head projector and copy machine under a federal pro- gram. In the spring, the PTA honored our teachers as guests at a pot-luck dinner with each teacher receiving a bud vase and carnation. The PTA disbursed $200 from general funds for band uniforms and raised an additional $433 for this purpose. To finance their programs, the PTA sponsored a fall festival. They promoted a king and queen contest and a supper at this event.

The club be- gan its service by selling season tickets to the football and basketball games, building a walkway to the foot- ball field bleachers, and providing a public address sys- tem for football games. In order to earn money for its various projects, the Booster Club sold fruit cakes, held a sock-hop and a car wash, and sold concessions at the basketball games. The main goal for this year's activities has been to purchase a movie camera and equipment for the ath- letic department at Mercer; however, the club also fed the teams after games, paid expenses for the M Club to go to the Mason-Dixon Track Meet in Louisville, sponsored the basketball team's trip to Kentucky Wes- leyan, and provided a steak fry for all active members. r ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★★ ★ ★★★★★ ★★ ★ ★ Billy Ransdell Farm Bureau King and Queen Cathy Phillips Speaker en.

Principally, the Association strives to promote and improve the facilities in Mercer County schools. Presently the alumni is supporting the proposed new elementary school. As a service project, the alumni association has presented a plaque to the school, dedicated to the memory of Mercer's deceased alumni. The alumni of Mercer County High School now number over eight hundred. Connie Anderson, Kenneth Beasley, Jane Birch, Diana Bottom, Ernest Brim, Jr., Kathy Claunch, Brenda Cocanougher, Merry Currans, Debra Durham, Dale Durr, Dafnie Gilliland, Phyllis Hensley, Peggy Frances Lawson, Eddie Lay, Betty Lou Allen, Carolyn McDonald, Cheryl Merriman, Edward Overstreet, Marvina Gay Peavler, David Perkins, Billy Pic- kett, John Edward Pinkston, Larry Poynter, Joyce Ann Robinson, Garnetta Semones, Robert B. Semonis, Vicki Darlene Shewmaker, Lois Ann Tharp, Peggy Thornton, Kathy Votow, and Ronnie Byrd. Throughout the year, the Mercer County High School building is used as a center of community activ- ity. In the summer, the school is the home of the sum- mer school program and Head Start. This year an eighth grade class was held at Mercer. During the year, these students participated in fields new to grade school stu- dents. An art class for these students was instituted, as well as a physical education class. Grade school children from all five elementary schools come to Mercer each spring for the annual spelling bee. Competition is open to children in the county school system from the first grade through the eighth grade. Oral spelling is used in the primary grades and written spelling is required in the upper grades. This event offers elementary students the opportunity to become accustomed to the high school and its routine. Winners in the event receive a trophy. Club Snaps The Foreign Language and French Clubs have strived this year to familiarize the students of Mercer with both the classical and modern languages and their importance in the spoken languages of today. In an assembly program, the Foreign Language Club showed the dress and customs of Spaniards and the Romans through a series of short skits. Throughout the year, the French club has planned and maintained an extremely attractive bulletin board, composed of typical French scenes. When the school sign was erected by the PTA, the French Club worked toward planting flowers in the structure directly beneath the sign. After planting these flowers, the club members weeded, watered, and cared for them as a class project. At the end of the year, the French Club held a dinner at which members prepared their food using French recipes. Behind every good play there is a lot of work and preparation. Coming on Saturdays to prepare the scenery is just part of the work, and applying make-up is one of the more interesting things about dress rehears- al. The applause after the plays made our work worth- while. In A Quiet Home Wedding and Romance for Dad, the humorous side of romance was brought to light as families tried to prepare for a wedding and searched for a wife for poor old dad. The fantasies of four scrub women in a theater were pictured in our third one-act play, The Ladies of the Mop. The Library Club at Mercer serves as an organiza- tion to encourage reading and good reading habits among Mercer's students. During National Library Week, the library assistants sponsor a reading contest, a poetry contest, and a book illustration contest. Annual- ly, a short play is presented by the club, and several students present book reviews. As a service project, the club members visit a rest home in the community during the Christmas season, taking small gifts and fruit. The Library Week program featured a take-off on the library at Mercer and those who frequent it. Two of the girls played teachers at the school. During the school year, the library assistants work diligently to create unusual and attractive displays and bulletin board decorations. As a tribute to the faculty and staff, a tea was held in their honor.- Several guests were present at this tea and program, including the PTA president, the school superintendent, and those per- sons who had donated books to the library. The older FFA boys look so neat in their club jackets it's difficult to believe that they, too, once wore the standard initiation outfit--a corn-cob necklace, feed sack dress, unmatched shoes, one sock, work gloves, and onion ring earrings. As the girls in FHA prepare for their banquet, they immediately think of those persons who will serve at the meal--the FFA boys. Although the boys may spill a little food or serve luke warm coffee occasionally, they make quite acceptable waitresses. For initiation, the FHA girls wore vegetable cor- sages, aprons, a toast necklace, and blouses turned backwards. After survival of initiation, the members raised money for projects by selling napkins and spon- soring sock-hops. At Christmas, the FHA sponsored a semi formal dance featuring the New Generashuns. As an annual project, the girls served the meal for the boys at the FFA banquet. The costumes for the Sadie Hawkins Dance, in Dogpatch style, were certainly eye-catchers. Boys' Family Living Class —Maybe not members of FHA--but future home- makers. State Honors and Conventions Billy Ransdell was named Kentucky's Star Farmer for 1967 by the 14, 000 members of the Kentucky Associa- tion of FFA. He was chosen from 373 candidates who represented 120 FFA chapters in Kentucky. Billy has served as president and vice-president of Mercer's FFA and was a member of the Kentucky State Fair advisory committee. Events in which Billy participated were impromptu speaking, parliamentary procedure and soil judging contests. He excelled in his cattle exhibits at local, district, state, and national contests. At the State Speech Festival, Hannah Foster and Mary Darland received superior ratings. To be qualified to attend the state festival, one must have received super- ior ratings at the regional festival. Members of various clubs had opportunities to at- tend district meetings and state conventions. The con- ventions were not all work. During spare moments there was time for some fun. Moments here are pic- tured at the Beta Convention in Louisville and Student Council Convention in Owensboro.

Jimmy Long Jimmy played fullback and also punted as a senior on the varsity team. Bill Ransdell The 1966 football season saw Bill Ransdell as an offensive and defensive halfback. We Did It! We Beat In summarizing the 1966-67 football season at Mercer County High it is revealed that the Scotties emerged as pos- sessors of a record of two victories against six defeats. After approximately five weeks of practice, starting in early August, the football team of Mercer County High met Springfield High at home on September 9. This game was discouraging in that the Scotties were defeated 53--18. On the 16th of September, however, the Scotties invaded the football field at Harrodsburg High and handed the Pioneers a 18—0 loss. The great dividend in the battle was the ever present spirit in the heart of every player on Mer- cer's team. One reason for this spirit is the constant rivalry between the two schools. Next on the schedule was a home game against the Bulldogs of Burgin on September 23. At first the situation was dim, as Mercer left at halftime trailing 7--0. But after a rest and an inspirational pep talk, they bounced back defeat- ing Burgin by the final score of 14--7. This victory was the last one of the season for Mercer. On a cold, rainy, muddy night, specifically the 30th of September, an away football game was held at Boyle County pairing the Rebels against the Scotties. The Scotties scored their first touchdown in three years of attempts against this team but it affected the score very, very, very little as the final score was a crushing 80-6 defeat for the Scotties. The Autumn days grew shorter, but the Scotties losing streak grew longer. To no avail, the Mercer team played their fifth game at home against the team from Stanford High School. Sadly the Scotties lost by a score of 46--0 on Friday, October 7. Madison Central High School came to the Scotties' field on October 14. Although the Scotties moved the ball well. Central moved it better and left the field with a 24—0 victory. The seventh and next to last game was a home game against Garrard County High School on October 21. The size of Garrard's team paid off, even though Mercer scored twice, as they rushed past the Scotties by the score of 38--12. The eighth and final game of the season came at the Anderson County football field on October 28. Though get- ting near the goal line several times our Scottie team was unable to score. However this was not true for the Anderson team as they scored sixty-six points in defeating Mercer 66--0. It is said that experience is the best teacher; if so, then possibly next year's football team will produce a better record. With many freshmen playing for the first time in organized football this year, they should be ready to charge out on the field next year and bring home many victories. Homecoming King C. J.

Senior Lettermen Moments in the life of an unusual pig. Walter Meaux, Mercer's Meadowlark, was a 5'-ll , 145 lbs. senior forward. Walter was a top re- serve his junior year, and he started every game for the Scotties during the 1966-67 season. He led the team in rebounds with an average of 13 per game. Walter ranked high among the scoring leaders with 10 points average during the regular season. Walter's best game was against Western Sinai in which he scored 20 points, and he led the team with 17 rebounds. Clinton Peavler was a 6'-l , 175 lbs., senior for- ward. Clinton was known as the sixth man. Whenever the Scotties needed help, the coach put Clinton into the game. He was a great rebounder, and he was always fighting for the team. Clinton's best game was against Anderson County in which he scored 7 points, and he was second with 9 rebounds. The Scotties basketball team had a very success- ful season although they had a losing record. They had a very young team with only 2 seniors on the entire squad so the fans can expect a fine season next year from our returning lettermen. Our team lost to Ander- son County, in the Quarter Finals of the District, by the score of 51-49. Some little pigs go to market; Some little pigs stay home; But this little pig went to Harrodsburg's gym to see the Scotties play the Pioneers. 127 B Team Kenny Wade, Rodney Thompson, Timmy Murphy, Bobby Deskins.

Yocum Walter Meaux Senior Lettermen Form Strong Nucleus of Team Walter Meaux, a three year letterman who was defeated only once in eight meets this season, ran the 440 yd. dash for the Mercer County High Track Team. Walter was also a member of the mile relay team. Bill Ransdell, a three year letterman on the track team, competed both in the low and the high hurdles. Bill, too, was a member of the half mile relay team. C. J. Yocum, a two year letterman on the track team, ran the 880 yd. dash, as well as running on the mile relay team. The Track team of Mercer County High School exhibited its best efforts this year and proved to be the best Mercer has had. Each boy put forth all he could in his particular event, but as always there are a few who do a little more. Wayne Sexton was outstanding in field events. Dennis Wade received the trophy for run- ning events. These boys excelled in physical abilities, but there are some whose spirit and attitude exceed far beyond their ability. David Bottoms received this tro- phy. The coach, Mr. King, and his assistant, Mr. Grim, have many reasons to be proud of the team. The only track meet the boys lost during the regular season was played against a very outstanding team, and still our boys were beaten only one point. If track teams improve in future years as did the one this year, Mercer track fans have something to look forward to.

Tommy Major, Jim Pearson, and Jimmy Brown Senior Lettermen Although Buddy Howells was not a regular starter, his knowledge of the game proved invaluable in the coaching box. Clinton Peavler's ability in the outfield helped our defense considerably. Although his hitting wasn't the best, he pulled us through at the right time. Ricky Click was a good baseball player who could play anywhere in the fi ld. During the season Rick's hitting helped in winning several games. Jimmy Long was outstanding not only in baseball, but other sports as well. He proved to be a great asset in Mercer's victories. The 1966-67 season of the Mercer County High baseball team turned out to be fairly successful with a record of 4-4. In the future years at Mercer the coach has high hopes for winning seasons because most mem- bers of the team this year were freshmen. Although this year's season wasn't as good as it might have been, it gave the younger players a great deal of experience. So in the years to come at Mercer we can look forward to a more highly successful base- ball team.

Allison a donation to the National Cancer Society. Miss Carol Ray, home economist for Kentucky Utilities, was guest speaker of the Family Living class. Seniors were administered the Air Force Test by S Sgt. Jacob Labue and M Sgt. Paul C. Hieatt. A representative of General Motors conducted an assembly program during which he demonstrated the various products of Space Age science. Merle Norman representative, speaking to the home economics students showed proper techniques in good grooming. During the home economics classes study of child care, Jeffrey Pinkston was the girls' guest. The IFYE delegate to Norway, Miss Patricia Vo- taw, spoke to the geography classes. As a service project, the Beta Club each year sponsors Teacher Appreciation Week, during which the club presents to the teachers small gifts, such as pen- cils, pens, paper, and bright, shiny apples. That week, usually in April, underclassmen bring pies and cakes which are served with coffee and tea to the teach- ers at lunch. These activities are culminated by a ban- quet honoring the faculty and seniors at Stone Manor. One of the highlights of the Beta year is the annual trip to the state Beta convention held in Louisville in December. The eleven members of the Mercer chapter attending convention campaigned for the school’s can- didate for state president of the organization, Jane Mor- ris. Throughout convention headquarters, the Kentucky Hotel, one could hear the cry, Have a cane, vote for Jane.” Although Jane did not win, the Betas certainly enjoyed the race. Teachers Student Teachers Substitute Teachers Mrs. David Grim did her stu- dent teaching under Mrs. Parson in Junior English. While at Mercer, she also worked with speech students prepar- ing for tournaments. Mrs. Grim was one of the thirty- seven Eastern Kentucky Uni- versity seniors named to the Who's Who in American Uni- versities and Colleges. Mr. Gerald Lister was stu- dent teacher in commerce under Mrs. Gritton. Mr. Lister was a senior at Eastern where he was a member of an honorary business society and the National Business Educa- tional Association. Dur- ing the long winter, Mr. Lister's arrival was antic- ipated with glee by the girls. Mr. George R. Reynolds, one of the substitute teachers at Mercer, possesses the charm and manners exemplified in the Age of Chivalry. During his visits to our school, Mr. Reynolds participated in class functions. One of Mr. Reynolds favorite subjects is the works of Robert Browning. Mr. Eddy Brady, pas- tor of the Shakertown Baptist Church and a bus driver in the county school district, was also a substitute teacher here. While in seminary, Mr. Brady was quite ac- tive in speech work and debating. During commencement ex- ercises, Mr. Brady gave both the invo- cation and the bene- diction. Stolen Moments Moments at the Junior-Senior Prom The Seniors enjoyed the prom given in their honor by the Juniors. Under the leadership of their sponsors, the Juniors did an excellent job of decorating and car- rying out their theme, Three Coins In The Fountain. A small fountain underneath an arbor graced the center of the floor. To add to the effect, dark blue streamers with silver stars were suspended above, representing a clear summer’s night. An atmosphere of congeniality was felt through- out the evening. When not dancing, couples could sit and chat at card tables arranged around the dancefloor. Music was provided by the Oxfords, who recently recorded There is Always Something There to Remind Me. The refreshment table carried out the pink and white color scheme. Crystal punch bowls and trays of delicious pink cakes were arranged at each end of the table. Crystal candle holders with pink candles were on either side of the centerpiece of pink roses. The combination of good music and beautiful surroundings gave us that night many moments to re- member. Graduation is an end. But also a a beginning . . . The start of all the dreams That every graduate is spinning. Graduation is sighs and laughter Mingled liberally with tears, Lingering memories of one's sharing Life with classmates through the years. Graduation is conclusion Of one big phase of work and fun, A milestone passed, new things begun. Graduation is excitement, Speeches, farewells And applause, diplomas And a mortar board . . . The gate to pathways unexplored. —Katherine Davis 149 The Final Moment Is Baccalaureate Baccalaureate services for the 1967 graduating class were held at the school, Sunday, May 26. The principal speaker was the Rev. J.W. Knight, who presented an inspiring challenge to the graduates in his address, The Two Paths. Mr. Car- mack presided with the Rev. Lowell Langefeld and the Rev. Marcus Prather assisting in the program. Music was provided by the Mercer County Band. Throughout the graduation programs, the junior Betas honored the seniors by decorating the bulletin board in the commencement theme and by serving as ushers. Drawing Near Commencement On Friday night, May 26, eighty proud seniors received their diplomas. The invocation was given by the Reverend Eddie Brady. Mozart's Alleluia was sung by the Mercer County High Chorus. Billy Carol Green, Deborah Pad- gett, and David Chumbley presented A Trumpeter's Lullaby. James Melton, the Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruction, gave the address in which he stressed the importance of becoming better Americans. The challenges to do this was left with each of the graduation seniors. The long awaited moment was at hand. For many it was just a pause be- fore going on to higher levels of education, but for others this moment meant that the carefree days were over and a look toward the serious side of life must be taken. As Mr. Carmack called the names, and the diplomas were presented by Mr. Hensley, each senior realized the significance of this happy yet solemn moment. Reverend Brady gave the benediction. While David Morris played the re- cessional, the new graduates walked out to meet the challenge life held for them. 152 Valedictoricm-Hcmnah Foster Salutatorian - Amalie Preston Honors Hanna Foster-Valedictorian Award, University of Ken- tucky Alumni Award, Rotary Science Award, Speech Cup, Mathematics Award, Science Award, English Award, Latin Award, DAR Good Citizen, Annual Co-Editor, NFL Degree of Merit and Honor, and 3- year Perfect Attendance Amalie Preston-Salutatorian Award, Commerce Award, and Annual Staff Award Julie Walters-Good Citizenship Award, Co-Editor of An- nual and NFL Degree of Merit Marie Chilton-4 years Perfect Attendance Danny Broce-8 years Perfect Attendance Marguerite Phillips-Annual Staff Award Janet Reynolds-Spanish Award and Library Award Regina Wells-French Award and Annual Staff Award Tom Woods-Band Award Rebecca Bugg-Eastern Star Essay Contest Winner Garnetta Rawlings-Annual Staff Award Walter Meaux-Basketball Award, Track Award, and Perfect Attendance Linda Hendren-Speech Award Jimmy Long-Baseball Award C.J.

Annual Staff Co-editors Design Editor Advertising Editor Layout Mats and Copy Sponsor Julie Walters Hanna Foster Amalie Preston Regina Wells Garnetta Rawlings Marguerite Phillips Marie Chilton Mrs. Martha Peavler Now that the last picture is taken, the last mat finished, and the last copy written and typed, we would like to thank all those who have helped to produce this year's HIGHLANDER. Nearly every member of the Se- nior class has had some part in the recording of these moments which have made our year. At last the final moment is here. May this book serve as a reminder of the fleeting moments, the faith- ful friends, and the happy days at Mercer County High. Work on the annual includes many tasks. First, ads must be sold and annual deposits collected. Then comes the real work--preparing layout mats and copy. When meeting the deadline for a shipment of mats, the last step is mailing pictures, copy, and layouts to the publisher. You to the left and I to the right, For the ways of men must sever And it well may be for a day and a night, And it well may be forever. But whether we meet or whether we part (For our ways are past our knowing), A pledge from the heart to its fellow heart On the ways we all are going! Richard FIovey Autographs
