Name Homeroom THE K A N U H SH E EA 1962-1963 VOLUME U Published by the Journalism Class Murphy Hig h School Murphy, North Carolina FOREWORD The journalism class and Miss Travis spent many, many hours working together—writing, typing, drawing, proofreading, let- tering, and balancing spreads. We sincerely hope that this yearbook will warrant your approval. This has been our main objective. We have struggled to emphasize, honestly and impartially, the most outstanding features, events, and activities of this past year. The smiling faces, the perusing eyes, and the escaping chuckles, as you recall memories of these happy schooldays, will crown all our efforts toward this 1963 KANUHSHETA. THE STAFF 4 Come,visit us for a day at Murphy High School as recorded by Strawbridge photographer Ed Parker and assistants Lynda Schuyler and Rosalind Johnson 5 We rushed to class before the tardy bell 6 took time out for making simple repairs. handholding in the hall. and polishing our beautiful gym floor............. 7 We loved the noon hour but how we hated that make-up study hall... 8 It was more fun to goof off in the hall 9 decorating for School dances was fun... 10 Doris Harper and Linda Schuyler sold the most magazines for the Senior Class. The Junior Class had charge of concessions. .. 11 After eleven years of sponsoring both paper and annual, Miss Travis finally got a new typewriter for journalism class this year. At the end of the day, we sometimes managed to sneak off early! 12 DEDICATION MRS. LUCILLE GAULT A native of Wisconsin and an outstanding teacher of French and English, Mrs. Lucille Draper Gault has an energetic and expansive personality unsurpassed on our campus. After receiving both B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Wis- consin, Mrs. Gault furthered her graduate studies at the University of Mexico, The University of Colorado, the University of North Carolina, and U.C.L.A. During the summer of ‘59 she studied French at the Sorbonne in Paris, France. Her authen- tic background in foreign languages and her animated accounts of her colorful ex- periences in extensive world travels enable Mrs. Gault's students to live a day in South America, Africa, or Europe. Her friendly concern and inexhaustible interest in students is emphasized daily in her school philosophy that a loss of educational opportunity now can never be regained in the future. With sincerity and gratitude, we dedicate the Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-Three edition of THE KANUHSHETA to you, Mrs. Gault. 13 The Staff SENIOR CLASS OF 1963 Graduates, in a sense graduation marks that point of departure from childhood into adulthood for you more than any other event that shall take place in the lives of most of you. You have been under the constant guidance of your parents and the in- spiration of your teachers. Both have urged, admonished, corrected, helped, en- couraged and in some cases retarded your progress. Many of you even while resent- ing this control have learned to depend upon it at times for decisions. Now you will be going away to college or to various cities for various gainful employment. Most of your important decisions will have to be made by you as a mature adult. I believe you are prepared to accept this personal responsibility. May you exercise mature judgment and have success in the new role as a mature free American citizen. The cultivated powers of the free mind have always been basic in achieving freedom. The powers of the free mind are many. In addition to the ra- tional powers, there are those which relate to the aesthetic, the moral, and the re- ligious. There is a unique, central role for the rational powers of an individual, however, for upon them depends his ability to achieve his personal goals and to ful- fill his obligations to society.

DOROTHY CRISP 17 MISS TRAVIS MISS TRAVIS ENGLISH III PERIOD VI ENGLISH English is considered the most important course taught in Murphy High School, because speech is the basic factor in any civi- lization. English classes study from two books, grammar and litera- ture, and must have at least eight book reports a year. Seniors have a difficult time trying to understand Shakespeare, Milton, and many other English authors. However, once these writers are understood, they are loved and appreciated. Miss Maria Louise Travis, chairman of this department is a native of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Other instructors in the English department are Mrs. Velma Burch, a native of Texas; Mrs. Lucille Gault, Wisconsin; Mr. Morris Newton and Mrs. Sue Benson, North Carolina. MRS. BURCH ENGLISH III PERIOD II MR. NEWTON ENGLISH I PERIOD IV MRS. BENSON ENGLISH I PERIOD III 19 MRS. RAY TYPING I PERIOD IV BUSINESS EDUCATION It is the aim and responsibility of the Business Department of Murphy High School to provide for the students a curriculum that will give them the proper training and develop- ment they need in the business world. The subjects offered to those taking a business course are Typing I II; Bookkeep- ing I II; Shorthand I II; Business Arithmetic; and General Business. MR. GASAWAY MR. BOWEN MRS. RAY 20 MR. GASAWAY BOOKKEEPING I PERIOD IV The department has been ranked as having equipment that will meet the standards of a college department and it is with pride that the students are trained to meet the qualifications that are expected of them to participate in the business activities of school, home, church, social, and civic organizations as well as helping them choose a career. The motto of this department is to profit by the lessons of the past, take advantage of all business training at the present, and help promote the promises of the future for a bigger and better un- derstanding of the business field of tomorrow. The Business Department has three full-time business teachers—Mrs. Frances Ray, chairman of the department; Mr. Frank Gasaway; and Mr. Rubert Bowen, all of whom hold their B. S. degrees in Business Education. j j MR. BOWEN GENERAL BUSINESS PERIOD V 21 MR. PALMER COLLEGE ALGEBRA PERIOD III MATHMATICS The math department has become an increasingly important department in our school curriculum. The courses offered in math are general mathematics, first and second year algebra, plane geometry, trigonometry, and college algebra. The aim of geometry is to guide the student in the process of logical thinking, inductive and deductive reasoning. Geometry and first and second year algebra courses form the basis for study in the higher and more difficult mathematics. Trigonometry and college alge- bra keep the juniors and seniors busy with logarithms, tangents, and cotangents. Mr. Felix Palmer is the chairman of this department. Mr. Fred Martin Jr., is the other teacher in this department. MR. MARTIN GENERAL MATH PERIOD V 22 LIBRARY MRS. MINOR To the students, the library is a very important place—a place where they can find material for term papers; a place to which they rush a few days before book reports are due and try frantically to find a short book on the list; and, of course, a meeting place for couples and friends where they can share the daily gossip. The library is well equipped with periodicals and magazines and many new books, which are added each year. Mrs. Emma Louise Minor, our librarian, received her B. A. de- gree from Tift College, Forsythe, Georgia. She has done an excellent job in keeping the library neat and in organizing an active Library Club. MRS. MINOR LIBRARY SCIENCE PERIODI 23 MRS. CARTER U. S. HISTORY PERIOD VI SOCIAL SCIENCE The Social Science Department, which includes U. S. History, World History, American problems, civics, geography, and psychology, offers students a basic knowledge of the people in distant countries; of the many past struggles to attain a democratic government; of our efforts to maintain its principles; of the problems facing our nation; and some probable solutions. Each student is required to take two social studies, one of which must be U. S. History. Adding to the interest of the courses this year, students have seen various films, worked on projects and research papers, and interviewed four soldiers who (after having finished military maneuvers in Laos) were participating in Operation Devil Arrow . Mrs. Margaret S. Carter, chairman of this department, is a native of Salisbury, N.C. Other teachers are Mr. Randall Shields, Mr. David Bristol, and Mr. John Morris. MRS. CARTER MR. SHIELDS MR. MORRIS 24 MR. BRISTOL CIVICS PERIOD II MR. SHIELDS GEOGRAPHY PERIOD II MR MORRIS CIVICS PERIOD I 25 MR. THOMPSON PHYSICS PERIOD II SCIENCE In the world of tomorrow science will be the most important field because of the many scientific techniques the world of today requires. Through science man may reach the moon. He will conquer many diseases and replace ignorance and superstition with knowledge. Each student of Murphy High School is required to take two years of science one of which has to be biology. Courses offered are general science, biology, earth science, chemistry, and physics. Mr. John Allen Thompson is the chairman of this department. Other teachers in the department are Mrs. Geraldine Meadows and Mr. Edwin Hendrix. MR. THOMPSON MRS. MEADOWS MR. HENDRIX 26 MR. HENDRIX EARTH SCIENCE PERIOD I MRS. MEADOWS BIOLOGY PERIOD I 27 HOME ECONOMICS PERIOD VI HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics Department trains girls to cook, sew, plan menus, and care for children. Through this training they are prepared for managing their own homes later in life. Films are shown to help the girls understand such things as cutting out a pattern, setting the table, and cooking well-planned meals. Miss Martha Sue Hawkins, who is in charge of the department, holds an A. B. degree from Mars Hill Junior College and a B. S. degree from the University of Tennessee. MISS HAWKINS 28 ART DEPARTMENT In art, pupils learn the basic principles of color and design and how to apply them. Art gives a student an opportunity to learn order and beauty, to develop self-expression, to re- lease tension and to control emotions. The art student soon realizes that, although the finished art work seems to have been created in a few minutes, much hard work goes into the accomplishment of any art project. At times, a student is ready to discard his unfinished composition, but when given advice and words of encouragement from Miss Travis, he will complete his picture with pride. While developing discriminating taste in judgement, students become more sensitive to the value of art in their surroundings. MUSIC DEPARTMENT The school is handicapped in having its music department loca- ted on the elementary school campus. A school bus transports students to the three music classes. Members of the chorus class learn a wide variety of music and songs as well as the fundamentals and history of music. By participating in this activity, young people train their voices and become more acquainted with music appreciation. Students in chorus find endless enjoyment throughout the year. Membership is open to the entire student body and especially to those who enjoy working with others and having fun. Mr. Edward Reynolds teaches girls' chorus, general music, and band. MR. REYNOLDS CHORUS PERIOD IV 30 MRS. PUETT LATIN I FOREIGN PERIOD IV LANGUAGES The best way to know and understand people in other countries is to study their language. In French I II students learn the language, the customs, and the way of life of the French' people. In Latin I and II students learn many stems, prefixes, and suffixes from which English words are derived. Mrs. Lucille Gault, French instructor, received both her B. A. andM. A. degrees from the University of Wisconsin. 0 Mrs. Moselle Puett, Latin instructor, holds a Bachelor of Public School Music degree from Oberlin Conservatory, Oberlin, Ohio. MRS. GAULT FRENCH II PERIOD III AGRICULTURE MR. PATTON Agriculture is a ver important industry and the methods learned by the students of the vocational agriculture department prepare them for the work and development of their future farms. The main branches of agriculture studied include crop-growing, dairying, poultry and swine raising, and fruit growing. Mr. Glen A. Patton, head of the department, has a B. S. degree from North Carolina State College, Raleigh, North Carolina. 32 PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Physical Education Department of Murphy High School is a vital instrument in building the body and in deve- loping good characteristics through ideal sportsmanship. This department has provided our school with a very successful year in sports. This success was not attained easily but resulted from diligence and perseverance by players and coaching staff. The students participating in sports worked long, strenuous hours to master their game. This department plays an integral role in our gen- eral education. Through sports young people are helped to mature in a stable manner. They are trained to accept glory and disappointments as factors in everyday life. mr. McConnell COACHES BRISTOL, McCONNELL, AND MORRIS 33 JOURNALISM CLASS PERIOD V JOURNALISM Journalism offers elementary and advanced training, on a high school level, in the field of writing, editing, and pub- lishing the Boomerang and The Kanuhsheta. Not many people realize the hard work in publishing a newspaper and an annual. In addition to this, the journalism class studies the history of journalism, and the lives of outstand- ing journalists such as Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst. These studies give the students a better background and enable them to produce better publications. The Boomerang covers all school activities and The Kanuhsheta is a pictorial history of the school year. Miss Maria Louise Travis is teacher of journalism and sponsor of both paper and yearbook. 34 MISS TRAVIS ROUNDTABLE DELEGATES — Left to right: Barbara Crisp, Helen Craig, Miss Travis, Joyce Hembree, Lynda Schuyler.

With the band, the Murphy High School majorettes attended Clemson College Band Day, several parades in Georgia and North Carolina, a trip across North Carolina to Manteo, a visit with the governor, and all the half-time shows of the home football and play-off games. The majorettes attended a twirling camp at Macon, Georgia, from one to two weeks. They learn new and different twirls, precision dances, solo and twirling on the march routines. During the year the head majorette is in charge of the corps. She selects and arranges the proper routines for the music and practices with the majorettes striving to perfect the routines. 69 1 DRUM MAJOR Charles Wanton Barrett MURPHY HIGH The Murphy Band, under the direction of Mr. Ed Reynolds, is one of the most outstanding bands in Western North Carolina.

The first meeting of the year was a picnic beside the lake at Mrs. Gault's house. The entire meetings were conducted in French—all games played were French inspired and all songs were sung in French. Each member took part in the programs in which skits were sometimes given. This taught students more about French holidays and festivals.

The play was a three act comedy, written by Margery Burns, featuring the Sky family. Sunny, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the family, was the cause of the family's trouble. With the help of Ace, her six-feet tall boyfriend, she managed to get cheerleader. This proved to Marcia Munson that Ace and she weren't droops. She is repayed for getting the family in an uproar by losing her voice. In the end, however, things worked out, and Sunny learned a valuable lesson. Miss Martha Hawkins directed the play.
