in Bulldog Country -i ,r •: « From the Hills of Western North Carolina -7 1 Volume 19 published by the Journalism Class of Murphy High School Murphy, North Carolina in co-operation with the Senior Class of 1971 There’s Something There is something in these hills that has touched everyone of us, something that has rubbed off on us in varying degrees, something that has built within the breasts of all Murphy High students an enduring spark akin to an eternal pride. There is something in these hills that enlivens competition, thereby producing champions, cham- pions who have an overpowering will to win but still can face defeat and not be shaken. For defeat will but produce a stronger second drive. We can all be very proud of our Champs and many of us can say, I was there, I supported my team, I helped cheer the Bulldogs on to victory. There's something in these hills that deepens character, awakens the mind, and broadens interests; something that strengthens friendships and ignores in ±he G — ills... such modern facts as generation gaps, communication gaps, and ideological gaps and binds together a society of many cultural backgrounds. We have all drawn from these hills something to suggest to youth that those over thirty can be trusted and to indicate to those over thirty that the qualities of youth are as sound today as they ever were. There's something in these hills that you and I can't define and others can't understand, some- thing that is seemingly vague and mysterious. It cannot be touched by human hands or seen by human eyes. The something that exists here is an uncontaminated honesty, a well-warranted pride, a pure, old-fashioned type of Southern hospitality that lives within the heart of each one of us and makes each student stand taller, feel better, and say with high pride to all within earshot, I went to Murphy High. 4 116 Sports Senior Directory Features................................10 Departments........................ 26 Student Body..........................56 Organizations...........................96 ' r Lochaby Sharon The Brains of M.H.S.

BEST CITIZEN GAIL WALKER The recipients of the 1971 Danforth Awards are Angie Curtis and Willie Bush. They were chosen by the faculty for their outstanding mental, moral, physical, and social characteristics.

On October 9, 1970, Miss Gail Postell was crowned the 1970 Homecoming Queen. En- hanced by the occasion and the glamour of the nine other girls on the court, Miss Postell, escorted by Steve McDonald, was a credit to her crown and to the student body that elected her. Gail Postell is radiant after receiving crown. Teresa Crain, Phyllis Hughes, Queen Gail Postell, and Debbie Crawford represented the Class of '71 20 igning Court ... it was like a fairy tale that came true. ...

This remark could very well have been said of Mr. Forrister by the students at MHS, for we are also proud to have him as a part of our team. This is the second year Mr. Forrister has served as principal, and he has proved himself dedi- cated to his terrific task. Superintendent of Cherokee County schools, Mr. John Jordan, has many pressing duties. With the merger of the county schools last year, Mr. Jordan has found himself loaded down with business, facing new problems momentarily. Nevertheless, he always has a cheery Hello and a friendly smile for every- one he meets. Mr. John Jordan, Superintendent Zeus Will Live Forever at M.H.S According to Mrs. Patsy Hendrix, English 102 and 104 instructor, her 9:30 A.M. class is particularly challenging (and consequently enjoyable) because the students have such alert, receptive minds. Of her sixth period class she says, I enjoy this class so much be- cause it is 6th period! The students enjoy this class so much that they begin getting their coats at 3:00! Denny McClure pleads for Mercy! in his English 104 class, but Donald Cornwell thinks it's Cool. 29 What Have We Got ? Good Of this freshman class, Mr. Dean Stephens says, I enjoy teaching this class because they have ready answers to all my questions. Mr. Stephens teaches his classes in such a way that the students enjoy learning; therefore, they are more receptive to knowledge. ________________________________________________________30 Tom Ellis, when speaking about Mrs. Velma Burch's English class says, If you don’t take this course, the foreigners might know more about English than you do. In a peculiar manner, Tom is telling us that one learns a great deal in Mrs. Burch's classes. She always has a smile for her students even when they give her a hard time. Mrs. Burch is an inspiration, for when one goes in her class with a problem, the smile on her face makes all problems seem trivial. Grammar and Good Taste! Mrs. Jeannie Garrett commented, This is a lively class, and I generally enjoy trying different approaches to literature with them. Mrs. Laura Postell prepares her sophomore students for English in college through her form of book re- ports and writing of research papers. 31 Pam Stiles thinks Mrs. Garrett's English class is O.K. while Jan Wimpey says It is hard. Cheryl Lewis agrees with Jan, but she also knows that what English really takes is brains. There’s Nothing Square When asked to comment on his Algebra III class and his mechanical drawing class, Mr. Felix Palmer, instructor, said of his mechanical drawing students, It is an informal class. It is a class of participation set at the working speed of each student. 'The willingness of students to learn because they see a need for this in the future because of college , is the main reason that Mr. Palmer enjoys teaching Algebra III and Trigonometry. Donald Gaddis is glad he took mechanical drawing because, It's very interesting and something to dedicate your life to. Mechanical Drawing students Chris Schuyler, or was it Bruce Coward, was asked what the most important thing about trigonometry was. His answer was, To make you think. 32 about Math at MHS Mike Godfrey was a patient model for the Art Class. The projector is a trademark in Miss Judith May's math classes. Candy Graham says, I like the art class be- cause it gives me a way to freely express my feelings. The informality of the class is to the students' advantage. Each art student has in- dividuality which shows up in his work. By examining the work of his classmates, each student can gain insight into his true per- sonality. The entire school benefits from the work of the art class from their interesting hall exhibits, and from all the help they give in extra-curricular activities. 33 The Quiet and the Wanda Wilson signed up for Library Science because I thought it would help me find my way around a college library. Candy Graham and Maxine Measmer seemed to agree that the course helps one learn more and more about books- - -and people. Mrs. Emma Louise Minor, librarian, says When I help young people see that reading is the key to know- ledge I am happy. And we, the students, are happy to know that Mrs. Minor is there when we need her, especially when the time for term papers rolls around. I enjoy serving people and I feel that this is one way I can do it. Mrs. Emma Louise Minor Mrs. Betty Allison, the aide to the librarian, is always ready with friendly assistance. 34 Loud Sound of Reading Mike Woods thinks Mr. Smith's English 101 class really grooves. Mr. Charles Smith's reading improvement classes are a combination of learning and pleasure. His students have a variety of ways in which they improve their reading. They learn to use the controlled reader, the reading lab, and occasionally work crossword puzzles and have college bowls. 35 Shorthand and Typing are Of the shorthand class Marsha Orton says, I have learned to make use of every spare minute ' Shirlene Thompson's statement that shorthand Keeps you pushing shows that she agrees. Kathy Sneed sums up the feelings of most other students in her comment, Short- hand teaches patience and concentration. This class ranks in the upper 10 percent in shorthand aptitude scholastically was the proud comment of Mrs. Ray. Mrs. Frances Ray has nothing but praise for her 4th period Typing II class. She says, I like the coopera- tion and courteous attitude of the class. They are very mature and eager to learn. They also use their time advantageously. Thelma Crisp says that she signed up for the course to learn speed and accuracy in typing. Brenda Palmer comments, It has built my skill in typing. The class seems to really be an asset to our school and will be an asset to the stu- dents in their futures. Mrs. Ray seems to get as much out of the class as her students for she says, They are a joy to teach. 36 Short - Cuts in Writing Mrs. Barbara McConnell, typing, bookkeeping, and basic business has an all girl Bookkeeping I class this year except for Alex Alexander. Her students gain practical experience that will be of much help to them in the future. They deal with a great deal of money, imaginary, of course, and suffer through doing the full bookkeeping, or at least as much as they can, of a business in their practice sets. According to Mrs. Louise Gilbert, typing, business math, and basic business, Business math is easy to teach because problems can be applied to everyday situations. Of Mrs. Gilbert, Barbara Brown says, When you're under her, you can learn! 37 Home of Electro “nuts” and Lazer “beings” Pipey, says Debbie McDonald when asked to describe Mr. Pipes' chemistry class. The chemistry classes which are taught 2nd and 3rd periods are explosive to Sam McAfee and gassy to Paula Farmer. When Terry Puett was asked to tell why Physics was impor- tant he replied, It keeps the old cogs a turnin'. Mr. Pipes' comments on the two classes: Even though they complain, I think most really enjoy taking the hardest courses in school. da Biologists Needed for Pollution Problem According to David Calhoun, the main reason a foreigner might need to take biology is to learn how to operate on a frog in case of an emergency. Mrs. Geraldine Meadows' com- ment was I enjoy their questions and reports most- -I dislike the fact that it is a required course. Carol Morris is glad she signed up for Advanced Biology because 'The atmosphere of the class makes learning fun and rewarding. Bill Dyer said, 'The class is informal and I learn a lot more like that. Carlton Van Horn thinks Biology is the future field of work for the preservation of man in a polluted world. Mrs. Meadows says of this class, Never a dull moment! They are such a challenge. A Little Bit of Everything Physical science gives incoming freshmen a new look at the facet which has aided modern man in his search for modern, technological advances. Students in Mrs. Ruby Barnett's physical science class deal with the concepts of electricity and the elementary principles of mechanics. This is Mrs. Barnett's first year as a member of the faculty at Murphy High School. A Time To. Although Marsha Orton says, At times Mr. George Hall's history class is without, Rosanna Radford thinks On some days the class comes all the way up to a 'with' rating. All kidding aside, juniors and seniors in Mr. Hall's classes will leave M.H.S. striving to reach the goals that he feels are within their grasp. All they need to do is THINK. Try not to think of this as a traumatic experience- - -think of it as an unforgettable existential moment. 41 Spanish With a Southern Accent Speaking about her Spanish I classes, Mrs. Lucille Gault says, I like to teach Spanish to interested young people, but I dislike having thirty-five students in the class. In Sharon Lochaby's opinion, the most important skill she has gained from Spanish IV is the knowledge of ideas and customs which help one to understand neighboring countries. Mrs. Gault says of Spanish IV, It interest me because it is advanced enough to work in the realm of ideas and not merely facts. All Psyched Out With Music i ju. When asked to describe Psychology in one word, Kathy Dalrymple replied, Personality and Pam Alexander used Interesting to express her thoughts. In reply to what she enjoyed most about teaching Psychology Mrs. Moselle Puett an- swered, I enjoy the fact that if a student takes these learnings seriously, he can find himself, understand his behavior and that of those around him, as well as apply his learn- ings and help himself to learn how to study, to improve his personality, and to learn how to get along with people in a better way. Sounds good Mrs. Puett! More people should take Psychology. sM. . • h ■ ' Even though Mrs. Puett teaches two classes of Psychology, her main interest is music. She teaches bvo periods of chorus, shown above, and one class of music appreciation. Her interest in music has inspired many students to further develop their musical ability. 43 Working Toward Future Goals Mr. Mashburn's Marketing I class takes time out from watching a film to pose for the camera. tfr. Mashburn is very popular among his students because jf his relaxed style and pleasant smile. 44 Home Ec. is Sew Nice Miss Jewell Garrett feels 'There is nothing in life that could be more important than a home that is attractive, happy, and well managed. She says, I hope the girls will find our studies of some use in their future homes. Sharon Moss describes the knowledge she has gained in Home Economics III as useful; therefore, Miss Garrett has achieved her goal. 45 Vo-Ag is A Lesson in Practicality Stanley Barnett, when speaking about Mr. Wilbur Roberts says, Mr. Roberts believes that for America to grow and prosper, all young people must know as much about as many different subjects as possible. He says that good sense is just as important. Through this, one can see that Mr. Roberts strives to give his stu- dents a well-rounded education. He teaches them that all one learns can be useful if it is used in some practical manner. The Ag boys worked long and hard to prepare a float for the Christmas parade. 46 The IV Class Puts it All Together Mrs. Ruth Bristol, IV instructor, feels that 'The ultimate goal or purpose of every class is to prepare students for future living. Through helping students explore many occu- pations and their own capabilities, she feels, the course is worthwhile and rewarding. Eva Jane Hall says, I like IV because it's life. Excedrin Headache Number 1974 Two students leave the car after an exciting and educational ride. Driver's Education, with Ralph Chuck McConnell as instructor, utilizes classroom training and practical on-the-road, in-the-car experience to teach rules of safety and better driving techniques to the students of Murphy High School. Democracy and Action Whether he is teaching his P.E. boys to run track or his Democracy in Action class about running for public office, Mr. Jim McCombs can always be relied upon to put forth his best teaching efforts. Mr. McCombs, who also teaches economics and coaches the J.V. and Varsity boys' teams in basketball, is obviously a very versatile and very qualified instruc- tor. He always makes it a point to take a personal interest in each of his many students. 49 Exercising the Besides being the world's greatest football coach, Mr. Terry Pos- tell also teaches physical educa- tion and general biology. He is a very confident teacher who always expects the best from his students. Respected in each of his classes, he means what he says and never tolerates horse- play, for he believes that in the proper atmosphere a great deal can be accomplished. 50 Mind and the Body Miss Sue Reynolds has varying talents. She teaches physical education, which sometimes brings a little extra work, such as mopping the gym floor; world geography, which teaches students about the various peoples of the world and the countries they live in; and U. S. history, which teaches students about themselves and their own country. In addition, she is the girl's basketball coach for M.H.S. “The Hills Are Alive With The Murphy Band has really been on the go this year. They worked hard to prepare for half-time shows and pep rallies, and were really proud to accompany the champion Dogs to Asheville for the play-off game. Then came the Christmas parades and con- certs. Back from the holidays and the band started practicing for spring concerts and raising money for a spring trip. All-State Band members this year were Robert Adams, Donald Cornwell, Eva Killian, and Terry Newman. Cold feet cannot stop the Murphy Band. Under the direction of Mr. Paul Penninger, it is growing and improving more and more each year. 52 the Sound of Music” People are always asking why girls would get out in freezing weather with practically nothing on, and try to smile when their mouths are frozen, and twirl when their fingers are stiff. A person would have to do it once to under- stand why we do it again and again. -Susan Barrett, Captain. What would people do during half-time if it weren't for the majorettes? The 1970 majorettes have added a swingin' touch to pep rallies and to half-time performances as they twirled to the music of Joshua , Rhythm on Parade , and others. Back Row: Pam Alexander, Lisa Warner, Carol Morris. Front Row: Pam Stiles, Susan Barrett; Cap- tain, and Vicki Allen. 53 The Staff We Could Mrs. Pauline Bault says that as the guidance counselor, she must coordinate her efforts with those of school personnel, parents, and community agencies to meet the developmental needs of students . Her goal is to help each pupil become a well- integrated responsible citizen . Mrs. Peggy Gee, Mrs. Evelyn Jefferies, and Mrs. Betty Palmer serve as teacher aides at Murphy High School. They type tests, grade papers, and fill in as substitutes when any instructors become ill. Mrs. Frankie Roberson, secre- tary to the principal, has a variety of duties. She relieves Mr. Forrister of any clerical work he may have, processes his daily correspondence, and keeps accurate totals of money for all classes, clubs, and special projects. As an afterthought, Mrs. Roberson adds that she serves as receptionist to visitors and distributes aspirin to the sick . 54 Mrs. Peggy Gee, Mrs. Evelyn Jefferies, and Mrs. Barbara Palmer Mrs. Frankie Roberson, Secretary to Principal Not Do Without Mrs. Lona Davis, Dietitian Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Spivey, Custodians Pearley Chastain, Maintenance Mrs. Jettie Cornwell, Donna Garrett, Mrs. Nell Mc- Donald, Mrs. Juanita Barnett, and Faye Dockery - Lunchroom Staff Ideals are was The following is part of a speech made by Chris Schuyler, the senior class president of 1971, at the service which dedicated ' a memorial to the three lives iostdrom the Senior Class duringthe past year.

The members are elected by the respective classes with two from each senior, junior, and sophomore home- rooms, one from each freshman home- room, and a representative from both the seventh and eighth grades. The Council has many activities which include sponsoring dances, bonfires, and other various school activities. This year's sponsors are Mr. Smith and Mr. Palmer. Treasurer, Mike Godfrey; President, Gail Postell; Vice- president, Johnny Foster; and Secretary, Gail Walker. Ssh! Somebody Might Be Listenin’ Mike Hunsucker joined the Library Club because it is a way to learn about books, and the feeling is mutual on Linda Plimmons' part. Annette Hunsucker joined because she felt that it would be active and interesting, and Carolyn Hayes added that she thought it would be very educational. Officers are Thelena Blount, President; Greta Maney, Vice-president; Zulia Allen, Secretary-Treasurer; Mike Reese (not pictured), Reporter. practiced democracy.

We need th extra space for these book; Now that we're the officers, what is a book? 99 DECA Members Are Money Makers The DECA Club is a club brimming with work enthusiasts. But, by the smiles on their faces it seems to be a club not entirely of labor. As we all know, All work and no play makes Mr. Mashburn an irritable boy. The DECA Club is involved in a great number of activities. This year they've sold stationery and have gone to many district meetings to represent our school. They also served a breakfast for the faculty as a Christmas gift. Officers left to right, first row: Historian, Becky Taylor; Secretary-Treasurer, Carolyn Carringer. Second row: President, Steve McDonald; State Delegate, Mitchell Chastain; Parliamentarian, Mike Adams; and Vice-President, Steve Graves. 100 Beta Club Gets an “A” for Effort Gail Walker, Vice-President; Sharon Lochaby, Treasurer; Linda Pope, Secretary; Mark Seiglie, Reporter; Miss Judith May, Sponsor; and Kathy Dalrymple, President. When asked of her opinion of the Beta Club Miss Judith May, spon- sor, replied, This year's Beta Club consists of a group of students with a sense of humor. Their contribution to the school and their concern with the betterment of all school activities are memories that will remain with me. Most of the club's members agreed that the activity they enjoyed most in the Beta Club was the Beta Convention —no school! 101 Dissection Requires Intestinal Fortitude The worms and the pigs don't jump in the Biology Club, but the girls sure do when Mrs. Geraldine Meadows starts the study on frog dissection.

But from August 28 to November 28 the Murphy Bulldogs proved week after week it could and would be done. The Murphy Bulldogs had played Hendersonville twice before, and always returned home with a de- feat in hand. But Murphy vs Hendersonville 1970 was a different story. Determination, desire, and a will to win helped the Bulldogs to overcome the Bearcats 12-7. The Dogs had just begun. The following week the Blue Devils from Harris High, Spruce Pine, N. C. came to Murphy. After four quarters of thrills, ex- citement, and all-out suspense, the Bulldogs reigned supreme with a 24-21 victory over the Blue Devils. Only one more game! November 28-Asheville Memorial Stadium-Murphy Bulldogs vs Bandys Tro- jans. Twenty-six Bulldogs players, four coaches, three managers, and the fans went wild. Murphy 20, Bandys 8. The Bulldogs from Murphy High were Co-State 2A Champions.
