Through our activities - sports, clubs, and classes, we have come to understand the need to get along with our fellowman, to accept him as he is, and to respect his ideals. When we come to realize this need, then we have taken the first important step in the long climb of life. 3 Climb ev mountain... 5 ... search high and low, 7 Follow every by-way... 8 9 • • every path you know. 11 Honors and awards, the social aspect of our school, encourage students to work diligently to achieve goals that are set high. By endeavoring to attain tomorrows goals with willing and helpful attitudes, some stu- dents have developed morals and ideals that will lead to higher standards of living. Their dependability ts shown through diligent study, and through participation in various school related projects which provide a diversification from the everyday. In addition to the achieving of goals and developing of higher standards of living, there have also been those who have brought laughter to a dull day, those who teasingly pursued the arrows of cupid and, those ivho faithfully cheered ■and led our teams to victory. Each has become a storehouse of memorable experiences, rewarding himself with deeper vision and broader horizons which will re- main with him wherever he may be after graduation from Murphy High School. FEATURES 13 1969 Homecoming Queen On the clear, cold night of October 24, 1969, during the half-time of an exciting game between the Murphy Bulldogs and the Swain Maroon Devils, Miss Linda McRae was crowned 1969 Homecoming Queen.

Participants in these organizations learn to make plans and carry them out, to set goals and reach them, and to co-operate with others efficiently and enthusiastically. Each par- ticipant also enjoys himself during this learn- ing process. He has fun working with close friends on worthwhile projects and feels a deep sense of satisfaction when these projects are successfully completed. The organizations here at MHS have been created especially for these purposes. Club days are filled with laughter, fun, and refresh- ments along with speeches made by visiting speakers, work done on projects, and serious group discussions. These club activities compliment the participant and helps him reach the peak of success in dealing with the outside world. ORGANIZATIONS 31 Student Council Represents MHS Students The Student Council is the governing body at M.H.S. Giving students an opportunity to voice their opinions about the school, the Council promotes school spirit, scholarship, sportsmanship, loyalty and good citizenship. The Council sponsors dances, bonfires, and projects helpful to the school. This year a plaque was dedicated in honor of former MHS students who have been killed in Vietnam. The constitution was also brought up to date. To raise money for projects the Student Council sold MHS pins, sweaters, and beanies. Student Council advisors are Mrs. Patsy Hendrix and Mrs. Pauline Bault. Vicky Martin, Vice-President; Katherine Cole, President; Bobbie Beavers, Secretary; Kathy Dalrymple, Treasurer.

Would You Like To Buy A Pecan Log Rol I ? The Beta Club consisted of the so-called “brains” of MHS. In truth, only students with high scholastic averages could join. A member of the national organization, the Beta Club is dedicated to the service of MHS and the surrounding community. This past year, the members sold pecan logs to pay for the academic awards that are earned by the students of MHS. Initiation was an amusing experience for the members who joined during the middle of the year. Sinister older members had a de- lightful time dictating. Miss Judith May was sponsor. 33 Citizenship Was Learnt.” The purpose of the Junior Civitan Club was to serve Murphy High School and its sur- rounding community. Under the direction of Mr. George Hall, the Civitans were one of the most active service clubs of our school during the past year. One of their projects was sponsoring an entertain- ing basketball game between the famed Harlem Stars and the alumni of MHS. Profits went toward raising money for history research books. Other projects included constructing a club emblem board for our school grounds, placing trash cans on our campus, and selling various items to carry out services and pro- jects.

The Deca Club, the “Labor Union” of our high school, has promoted many skilled workers. Members of this club hold various jobs in the Murphy area. Directed by Mr. Cecil Mashburn, the D.E. Club has been engaged in many interesting activities during the past school year. Some of these projects were sponsoring the D.E.C.A. Sweet- heart and Job Interview contests, having an employer-employee banquet, holding an annual spring party for all members, and giving a faculty breakfast at Christmas. the club boasts of three winners in District Contests this year. The club placed first in the Marketing Project; Shirley Roberson, second, in Sales Demonstration; and Stella Hughes, third, in D.E.C.A. Student-of-the-Year Contest. Russell worked at the Scout.

They Liked To Cut Up 'The Biology Club looked for a new “disease” rumored to have reached epidemic proportions in Murphy High School. Could it have been “schoolitis” or snowmatic fever? A continuation of the biology class, this club doesn’t spend all its time dissecting frogs! Under the direction of Mrs. Geraldine Meadows, these amateur biologists watch films, perform experiments, do research, and discuss the latest developments in modern science. Occasionally, the club is entertained by a speaker. 36 Their Hobby Was Electri fing. Mr. Roy Pipes has been trying to discover an Einstien in the Science Club, but he has had limited success. One of the major projects of the club this past year was the revision of their constitution. A main point was “No dues, no refreshments. Other projects included selling Christmas wrap- ping paper. The club’s goal was a trip to Atlanta, Georgia. Two new officers were added this year - Seargant-at-Arms and Reporter.

Library Club Made T rips MHS’s “bookworm” club has been a useful organization for many years. Under the guidance of Mrs. Emma Minor, the Library Club has helped students develop more inte- rest in books and better reading habits. Activities of the Library Club include such fund-raising projects as selling candy and Christmas candles. The money earned was used to rebind books and make educational trips. Delegates from the club attended the NCHSLA meeting at Canton, N.C., this year.

The “Hollywood” of North Carolina is the Speech and Drama Club which is located in Murphy High School. This club has helped its members to become more familiar with the activities in the world of speech and drama. Under the direction of Miss Jeannie Beets, the club participated in such money raising pro- jects as a car wash and a dance. They have attended several plays and directed and produced a few of their own. It was re- ported that their next production will be “Hair”.

If planes seemed to have a tendency to fly at crazy angles or suddenly drop out of thin air, it was the fault of MHS’s newest club, the Aviation Club. Terry Puett, Reporter; Markie Carringer, Vice- President; Tommy Townson, President; Alan Godfrey, Secretary; Robert Adams, Treasurer. Under the direction of Mr. Felix Palmer, members became more aware of the accomp- lishments and progress of aviation. Each participant received an introduction to flight training and three hours of training time in the air. To enable one student to solo,the club undertook money-making projects. Other activities of the Aviation Club included films, lectures, and trips. Front Row: Carolyn Dockery, Ann Braswell, Sandy Ledford, Doris McAfee, Cecil Lackey.

SPIRIT was the “name of the game” that the Pep Club played during the 1969 - 1970 football and basketball seasons. The Bulldogs climbed to success with the support of the Rally Girls, Cheerleaders, and Pep Club mem- bers. This club promoted sportsmanship and school spirit at games and pep rallies. Arnold Crisp (insert) was the president. Danger Lurked During Initiation The most dangerous club in MHS was the Boys’ Monogram Club. It has been said that the initiation is murder - and that’s putting it mildly. Acting under the guidance of Coaches Terry Post ell and Jim McCombs, the club has sold Bulldog tags to make money for their various projects such as buying roses for the Home- coming Queen.

It was derived from the original Monogram Club, which is the Boys’ Monogram Club. The members participated in basketball and track. Under the direction of Miss Marv Sue Reynolds, they practiced, practiced, and practiced a little bit more. lirst Row: George Sneed, Steve Graves, Dwight Faile, Johnny Roberson, Johnny Smith, Gary Huskins, John Mason, Wade Henson, James Lance, Carl Johnson, Lonnie Mintz.

The Boys? Where Are Members of the Future Farmers of America have tried to earn “green thumbs” during this past year by maintaining the school grounds. Participants also tried to help our community by distributing Christmas baskets to the needy and aiding our senior citizens. Under the direction of Mr. Wilbur Roberts, members learned how to conduct and par- ticipate in public meetings and develop into good citizens. John Mason, President. Future Homemakers Cook Up A Club The Future Homemakers of America had a very active club in Murphy this past year. Miss Jewel Garrett has tried to show these girls the importance, joys, and satisfactions of homemaking. Panel discussions on worthwhile subjects oc- cupied many club periods. However, they had many other important projects. Winning first prize at the fair booth, making favors for hospital trays, and taking charge of the balloting at the F.H.A. Rally occupied much of their time. The F.H.A. had well planned programs with student and adult participation.

Working And Eating Kept Them Busy Did you know that if it had not been for the democratic procedure of the Journalism Club this annual might have been purple and pink or avocado green? However, we “socked it to you’’ with this light blue compromise. The industrious members of this club worked on the school paper, the Boomerang, and the annual, the KANUHSHBTA, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Velma Burch. Between times they begged and enjoyed refreshments. 46 The Boomerang Strikes Again! Every six weeks, the Boomerang surprised many unsuspecting students at MHS. Regular features of this informative newspaper in- cluded news, editorials, advice, and gossip. Mrs. Velma Burch, advisor; Bobbie Beavers, editor; and Eddie Ledford, assistant editor, tried to astonish many people and get the Boomerang out on time. The rest of the staff attempted to help make the MHS paper as interesting as possible. 47 Business Policies Were Practiced. Kathy Murphy, Resident. “Monkey business” has never been the policy of the MHS Business Club. Under the direction of Mrs. Louise Gilbert, this club promoted better business leaders for tomor- row. The members had an opportunity to get acquainted with the outstanding businesses of our community and to decide what kind of business field they would like to enter. Typing and shorthand were not the only things that occupied their minds. Visiting businesses, having bake sales, and selling towel calendars also took up their time. 48 Twirling Was Their Thing” Our glamorous majorettes ran the risk of singeing their hair when they used their fire batons entertaining us. Luckily, the hair and the girls survived and will be able to serve another year, since none are seniors. Captains, Susan Barrett and Pat Carroll, led the majorettes as they performed in pep rallies, football games and parades. Last summer a majorette came from the University of Tennessee to advise our major- ettes. Our girls, in turn, held a clinic for other local girls who wished to join the majorettes later. Cute new uniforms for the pep rallies added to the show this year. Carol Morris, Mary Teague, and Lisa Warner. 49 Our athletes are constantly striving to reach the top of the mountain, the pinnacle of success, 'fhey devote their blood, sweat, and tears in the hope of producing a brief instant of profound joy for their supreme and all- knowledgeable coaches. The success they have achieved cannot be measured by the scores alone, but by the superb effort and unflinching courage revealed on the practice field. Whether dribbling a sphere doum a basketball court or delving into the innermost regions of human endurance by trying to find that extra surge oj power in a foot race, the Bulldogs are an ever constant threat to any foe that should dare enter into their domain. Sometimes, though, there is defeat. It is not easy for anyone to accept defeat. I here is always the realization that possibly, if they had been more dedicated and had had a bigger thirst for victory, they would now be on top of the mountain of victory instead of in the valley of defeat. Hard work and an enormous drive to be the overpowering force has placed the Bulldogs at the top of that mountain as NUMBER ONE! SI SPORTS Bulldogs Reign Again Front row: (left to right) S. Wells, M.

SWAIN: Homecoming night was a triumphant occasion at the Murphy ball field, as the Bulldogs clinched the Smoky Mountain Conference title for the second year in a row, by crunch- ing the Swain Maroon Devils, 32-16. The Bulldogs showed their championship style by scoring the first time they got the ball. In the second quarter Murphy picked off a Swain pass to stop a Swain drive. A punt by the Dogs, placed the ball on the 5-yard line. Swain took the ball and drove out to their39 yard line before a tough defensive team broke the ball loose and Bulldog Jeff Jackson re- covered. Murphy was unable to make the break pay off ana was forced to punt. The Devils took the ball on their twenty and six plays later scored to tie the game 8-8 with only seconds left in the half. Murphy returned the opening second half kickoff to their 30. Sixty-six yards and 12 plays later Murphy scored its second touch- down, the extra point was good and the Dogs led 16-8. Swain took the Murphy kickoff and drove to the Murphy 39 before a strong defense again caused Swain to fumble. Charlie Sims scored to the Dogs 3 first downs and eight plays later Murphy scored to increase the Murphy lead to 24-8. Swain again took the kickoff and this time they drove 71 yards for the touchdown and the two-point extra. After a Bulldog punt, Swain began a desperation march with only a few minutes left in the game, but their hopes were cut short when they failed to make a first down and were forced to give up the ball. Murphy won 32 - 16. 58 In The Decisive Game GILMER: The Bulldogs defeated Gilmer 14 - 9 in their last regular game of the season. Murphy received the opening kickoff, but were unable to move the ball and were forced to punt. Gilmer took over on their 20- ard line and drove to the Bulldog 8 before eing stopped. With a fourth ana 8, Gilmer decided to kick a field goal, which was good and gave Gilmer a 3 - 0 lead. Later in the game Gilmer was again on the move but they were stopped when Charlie Sims intercepted a pass on the Murphy 33. Willie Bush broke lose on the next play and dashed to the Gilmer 3-yard line before being stopped. Gilmer held and took over on their own five.

Schuyler added the 2 point extra point and the Dogs led 8 - 3. After recovering a fumble on the Murphy 37, Gilmer scored but the Bulldogs rallied for the winning touch- down when Sims went over from the 19 yard line. HENDER SON VILLE: The Murphy Bulldogs traveled to Sylva to face a tough Hendersonville team in a bid for a District 8AA football Championship. Murphy played a fine defensive game in hold- ing the Bearcats to 21 points. This was the first time this year that Hendersonville had not scored at least 30 points. Playing in a driving snow and on a rock-hard field, Murphy was able to drive to the Hender- sonville ll before being stopped with a pass interception. Later in the game Murphy was again knocking at the door, but were stopped when they lost the ball on a fumble. The final score was 21 - 0 in favor of Hender- sonville.

The highly technical and professional occupations require the best education we can obtain. The purpose of MHS is to prepare its students for tomorrow’s demanding world. The classroom is all-important in preparation for the future. Through class participation and discussion we learn to formulate our own ideas about the material presented. By doing homework and research assigned us, we discip- line ourselves to accept responsibility. Our goal is to develop our minds to their full otential. After a tme understanding has een achieved, we can then make logical decisions about our personal lives. Because of the highly qualified faculty and the many courses offered, MHS provides the opportunity Jor a very good education, one that will be adequate to meet tomorrow’s challenges. In addition to a well-trained faculty, and a diversified curriculum, the school itself is well enough equipped to make learning easier through experience as well as through reading and self expression. We speak of our school with a sense of pride knowing of its high standards and excellent reputation. 71 ACADEMICS Administration And Faculty Although Mr. Charles Porris ter has been connected with MHS for many years, this was his first year as principal. As a principal he works long and hard to help all the students achieve the education which is required today. He has proven that he is as capable of making a school work properly as he was in solving a simple equation in chemistry such as MNCL0 + Br0 + 4NH X)H AMNO„ + 2NH.C1 + 2NH.Br + 2H„0. 2 2 4 2 4 4 2 Mr. John Jordan, Superintendent of Murphy City Schools for four years, has become Superintendent of Cherokee County Schools this past year. This consolidation has resulted in more work for Mr. Jordan. According to students, one of his major problems this past year was when to have school. We had so many snowy days that he was forced to pro- pose the unpopular decision of holding school on Saturdays. 72 Guide Students PATSY HENDRIX, English Mrs. Hendrix, Chairman of the English Depart- ment, requires that her work be done correctly down to the last footnote. Right, seniors? She has kept her seniors hopping this year filing their own themes (bottom right), study- ing Shakespeare, Milton, Rope, etc., and writing research papers. A stickler for a good gram- mar foundation, she also included oral reports as well as world literature in the English II classes (bottom left). 73 Engl ish: Th Owing to her musical nature, Mrs. Burch loves good poetry. Junior pupils are seen here (bottom left) prob(tbly practicing recitations of “Thanatopsis”. Among other things they also learn the philosophy of transcendent- alism and the horrors of the writing lab. Lawrence llnglish oj the English IV class is paying close attention as usual. ‘Must be a lecture on Alexander Pope - or maybe just a lecture. Mrs. Burch would still like to know who tilts those pictures everyday! Of Communicating JEANNIE BEETS, English on TIRTI IMF'n Miss Jeannie Beets is a “new” teacher this year. Only last year she graduated from Tennessee Tech with a major in English. She has the responsibility of teaching English I and English II. Miss Beets’ has endeared herself to students by practicing Emerson’s philosophy: “I make no allowance for youth in talking with my friends. If a youth or maiden converse with me I forget they are not as old as I am. ” Her English I students read Charles Dickens’ novel Great Expectations along with their study of the English grammar. Her English II students learn the art of writing themes along it i r J i i i with their study of world literature. Miss Beets also sponsor the Speech and Drama Club. 75 Language Is Man’s LAURA WEEKS, English Miss Laura Weeks is one of the three new English teachers at M.H.S. this year. Very demure in her actions, she nevertheless en- courages studious activities seasoned with laughter to make classwork interesting. Julius Caesar in English II and Macbeth in English IV became more realistic as projects pertaining to the Shakespearean theater were made and demonstrated. 76 Mr. Dean Stephens, the only male member of MHS’ English department is a person who uses variety in his teaching methods to make his English I and II classes more meaningful. The audio-visual materials in the library are not overlooked by him and diagramming and drama (pictured) are a part of his English classes. Friendly, but firm, this serious-minded teacher is devoted to his work. He keeps up with what’s new in his field. Since four years of English are required in high school, it is necessary to get a good background in the subject during one’s fresh- man and sophomore years. Mr. Stephens strives to prepare his classes for future years of English in high school and college. Greatest Asset DEAN STEPHENS, English. 77 Reading Opens The Door Because of her capability, Mrs. Minor has been at MHS for many years as our librarian. She is very familiar with the library; indeed, if a student cannot find a certain book, all he has to do is ask for it, and if it is there, she will find it. A yearly project of Mrs. Minor’s is instructing freshmen in the proper library procedure and location of books. Students are indebted to Mrs. Minor because, in later years, they will be using the library frequently. EMMA LOUISE MINOR, Librarian 78 To Higher Learning Mr. Smith’s classes are always learning some- thing new from their many activities. These include working in the reading lab, doing crossword puzzles, or frantically trying to keep up with the controlled reader. Of course, on some days they try to show their intel- ligence in a miniature “college bowl”. Since Mr. Smith’s room is at the end of the hall he gives his students a day off every now and then and shows them a film. PAUL SMITH, Reading Improvement. Spanish And Mathematics “Habla espanol? inquires Mrs. Gault upon entering the Spanish room. Blank faces look up at her from puzzled Spanish I students. (Top left) However, if she chances to ask this question of her more advanced pupils, they might reply, “Si.” (Top right). We are very proud to have such a distinguished linquist at MHS. L UCILE GA ULT, Spanish I, II, III, and IV. 80 Require Undivided Attention FELIX PALMER, Alg., Trig., Geo Mr. Felix Palmer is a fixture now at MHS after thirteen years. A t least, we hope so. Noted for giving his pupils a good foundation in math and keeping them informed on the latest finds and trends relating to his subject, he’s what we call a complete teacher. He is interested in every aspect of our school life and seems to feel that it is no more than right that he help direct traffic, work at ball- games, support student activities, chaperone dances, and so on. In other words, he is not too wrapped up in his personal interests to be of assistance wherever he is needed or wanted at the school. Mathematics And Science Are Miss May, an attractive addition to our Math Department, enjoys teaching art, Algebra I, and Geometry. Since she is able to apply her “art” in drawing geometric examples, all three of her classes are connected. Miss May is not only an excellent teacher; she also believes in giving students the responsibilities that enable them to develop mentally and to learn to think for themselves. Miss May’s activities include sponsoring the Beta Club, of which she was a member when she attended high school at Andrews. 82 Stepping Stones To Progress Mrs. Dorothy Carlberg, once a hospital dietician, has made teaching at MHS her profession for the past five years. A member of the Science Department, Mrs. Carlberg teaches physical science and general biology. Evidence of her imaginative teach- ing: in her science classes, Mrs. Carlberg works with Mr. Wilbur Roberts’ agriculture classes in teaching her students the mechanics of an engine. Mrs. Carlberg lives at Topton, N.C., so she has to get up early to get to school on time, especially during rainy or snowy days. Like her neighbor across the hall, Mrs. P -bara McConnell, Mrs. Carlberg takes a persoi ' interest in all her students. They can sometimes be seen “talking it over” at the doorway of either room 5 or room 6. 83 This Is The Age GERALDINE MEADOWS, General Biology, BSCS, Advanced Biology. Mrs. Geraldine Meadows allows no “cutting up in her biology classes except on frogs grasshoppers, and worms, etc. Mrs. Meadows instructs her classes in such laboratory procedures as using a microscope and dissecting animals. (BELOW) Sometimes she takes her pupils on field trips to observe nature or to gather flowers or leaves. Although it has been rumored that the biology room suffers from formaldehyde pollution, Mrs. Meadows gentle nature and sweet disposition do not seem to be affected. Of Science And Discovery 85 Our replacement in the Science Department, Mr. Pipes, has done an excellent job this past year teaching chemistry (bottom left), physical science, and physics (above). Ask any of his pupils and they will tell you that he is a friendly, interesting teacher. Mr. Pipes has taught at Andrews High School; and he was principal at White Church Elementary School before he came to Murphy. He attended Murphy during his high school days. We are glad to have Mr. Pipes at MHS. ROY PIPES, Physical Science, Chemistry, Physics. Physical Education Develops TERRY POSTELL, U. S. History, Physical Education, General Biology. Coach Terry Pos tells first love is, of course, football. He has proved himself to be a very effective coach by taking teams to the play- offs three years in a row. Medium cool himself, Mr. Postell’s very presence inspires confidence. 45 a teacher, he exercises complete control over all his classes - U.S. history, (left), PE., and biology (top left). Well-dressed and always the gentleman, Coach Posted commands the respect of all his pupils. His motto is: “If you don’t make the grade, you don’t pass. ” 86 Body, Mind And Soul” A teacher who takes personal interest in his students, Mr. Jim McCombs uses maps, charts, and statistics to teach his economics students about the monetary system. His Democracy in Action students, in order to become better citizens, study about different religions, politics, and the American govern- ment. His Physical Education students discover that P.E. isn’t all exercise and no play as they learn about such competitive sports as football, basketball, volleyball, and track. Mr. McCombs has been athletic director for the past three years and coaches the J. V. and Varsity boys’ team in basketball. A Study Of The Past Miss Mary Sue Reynolds is a multi-talented teacher. Her subjects include world geo- graphy, general math, and physical education. Besides teaching these, she coaches our girls’ basketball teams, J. V. and Varsity. Miss Reynolds is able to influence many students through her wide range of subjects. In her physical education classes, Miss Reynolds is a firm believer in developing sound bodies as well as sound minds. MARY SUE REYNOLDS, World Geography, General Math, Physical Education. For The Future GEORGE HALL, World History, U.S. History This year was Mr. George “Stormy” Hall’s first year of teaching at MHS. From his classes may come our future politicians, for he conducts debates in his history classes. He also encourages reading; he requires a book report every six weeks. His main objective in teaching, according to his stu- dents, is getting them to THINK! Noted for his “hall lectures, Mr. Hall keeps well-disciplined classes. 89 Music Is A Our talented music teacher, Mrs. Mozelle Ihrett, received her BPSM degree from one of the best music schools, Oberlin Conservatory. Besides teaching music and chorus, she has classes in psychology and English I. Always a lady, Mrs. Puett is a very effective teacher who gets the necessary information across to her students. Her well-prepared chorus gives entertaining, as well as inspiring, programs which are performed for civic groups and the student assemblies in our own, as well as other, high schools. 90 Universal Language M.H.S. is very fortunate to have Mr. Paul Penninger as our band master. He fulfills his responsibility of keeping the band as a whole and each individual member in best playing form. Some of the activities of the band are practicing new music and learning new exer- cises for the halftime entertainment at foot- ball games. The band also participates in various contests and gives occasional concerts at our school and the surrounding schools in our area. Some of the band students also play at the pep rallies. M.H.S. is distinguished in that five members of our band are also members of the All-State Band. (Bottom Left) Business Is A Key FRANCES RA Y, Typing I, II; Shorthand I, II. Mrs. Frances Ray’s excellence as a teacher is evidenced by the many satisfied businesses that have employed her well-prepared students. A strict teacher, Mrs. Ray, demands good- behavior as well as precise classwork from her students. Both of her subjects, typing and shorthand, require much emphasis on the fundamentals. Both Mrs. Ray and her husband take a per- sonal interest in young people and stress the necessity of spiritual ana moral development. 92 To The Future BARBARA MC CONNELL, Typing I, Bookkeeping I, II, Basic Business. Mrs. McConnell, a dedicated teacher, has been in the Murphy High business department for several years. While teaching typing, book- keeping, and basic business, she imparts know- ledge to her students and tries to understand them well enough to counsel them when they get into difficulties. Learning The Fundamentals Of The LOUISE GILBERT, Typing, Business Math, Basic Business. Mrs. Louise Gilbert, pert and enthusiastic, believes in getting across to her students the knowledge that business training is practical and useful in everyday life. Like many of our teachers, she comes from Andrews. Her hobbies are sewing and playing the piano. Besides being the sponsor of the Business Club, this year she has had the added responsibility of being a Junior Class sponsor. Business World Institutes Perfection Mrs. Ruth Bristol has been teaching at MHS for three years. She instructs freshmen in Introduction to Vocations. An active teacher, Mrs. Bristol often stays late preparing lessons. She employs examples with her teachings by taking her classes on field trips to various plants and businesses in the Murphy area. As our region is not represented by all types of vocations, Mrs. Bristol selects films to broaden her students’ knowledge of the different occupations avail- Preparing For Mr. Cecil Mashburn has been with MHS three years as instructor and director of Distributive Education. The first year he was here with us his work was crowned by supervisors saying that ours was the best beginning Distributive Education department in the state. We feel that since then, it has only improved. We are proud of our D.E. department because of the practical experience it gives to students. Besides being employed to responsible posi- tions by local businesses, the D.E. students must also take the required high school courses plus Marketing and Distributive Education. CECIL MASHBURN D.E., Marketing 96 Tomorrow’s World JEWELL GARRETT, Home Economics. Training young ladies in the art of good home- making is the endeavor of Miss Jewell Garrett. Since Home Economics is concerned with the social, economical, and physical aspects of the family, Miss Garrett emphasizes cooking, sew- ing, budgeting, buying, and childcare, injecting the beautiful wherever possible, with tips for correct and fashionable clothing, shelter, and entertainment. Gracious hostess of the Home Economics department from 1962, Miss Garrett is a native of Georgia. 97 Experience Is Mr. Roberts teaches a variety of subjects to his agricultural students. Some of the subjects are carpentry, masonary, and mechanics (top left). They also study landscaping and farm- ing, and participate in land and tool judging contests. Mr. Roberts is very popular with his students. The Best Teacher RALPH MC CONNELL, Drivers Education. Coach Ralph “Chuck” McConnell, well- endowed with nerves of steel, teaches drivers education to the rash youth of Murphy High An excellent driver himself, Coach McConnell insists on his pupils knowing and following the rules of the road. Coach McConnell’s many interests include psychology, athletics, and church work. (He hasn’t missed attending Sunday School in eleven years.) Ever vitally interested in sports, the fall season finds him u nselfishly giving of his time coach- ing the Midgets. (Left) Caught at teachers’ meeting. 99 Our Efficient Staff Constitutes An Mrs. Pauline Bault helps students at M.H.S. make Mrs. Pauline Bault right choices concerning their future.

Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Spivey, Custodians 101 Pearly Chastain, Maintenance Discovering that high school is not such a torturous ordeal after all, freshmen are more at ease. The more determined study diligently and resolve to become successes during and after their high school career. Among this group are those, some to their surprise, who will climb high in the future as scholars, athletes, and just good all-around citizens. Freshmen should not let their uncertainties revent them from overcoming obstacles and egin to rise on the path of success. Sophomores are more confident, having lived through their freshman year. Becoming some- what established, some begin to feel as if they are a part of everything. Some have already begun to be noticed as scholars and athletes. Others begin to slack off as academics become a little more difficult. Having left the bottom rung of success behind, sophomores should give one hundred percent as they continue up the ladder. This effort will not be in vain. Juniors are involved in many activities and have contributed much to athletics and stu- dent government. Many are becoming con- cerned about their future, and work hard to assure themselves of a successful future. Some are considering college, others are determined just to finish nigh school. All look forward to that final one hundred and eighty days, and the undisputed importance in being a senior. Well, we have arrived, some wondering how. Many have achieved success and prominence in different aspects. Realizing that we stand on top of a little mountain, looking across to a much higher summit, we wonder what the future holds. What will I do on my own? Will the world be better for my having lived in it?
