For a child in grade school who has had very little experience with life, it may be only a simple recess. As he grows older, his ideals change; happiness may be the big game, raising money for a banquet, or ordering his class ring. When he nears the end of his Senior year, he finds a totally new meaning. It is not just the thought of finally finishing school, but the thought of all the memories to be forever cherished. This year has been a year for many of us to remember. We, the Annual Staff, hope that RACER 1971 will always keep fresh in your memory the many activities you have enjoyed. 3 BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. James Griffith (President), Mr. Gene Smith (Clerk), Mr. Eugene Garrett (Vice President), Mr. Everett Little (Member), Mr. Carl Fancher (Member). “SCHOOL BOARD HAPPY WITH STUDENT A ND PLANT INCREASE” Mr. Eugene Garrett, local dairy- man and housing developer, is serving his fifth year on the Board.

This versatile group par- ticipates in FFA, FHA, 4-H, athletics, Pep Club, Freshman Science Club, and still manages to keep a good scholastic achievement with 15 honor roll students. In the words of one freshman, this class is fantastic! Tony McNeilly is determined to finish her assignment first.

HAPPINESS IS FIRST YEAR OUT OF ...” The seventh grade is the beginning of the transition from elementary to high school. The enrollment fluctuates but usually averages 45 students. This group is fortunate enough to have divided classes in math and is looking forward to smaller classes in the other subjects. The class had a Christmas party be- fore the holidays and made a class trip in the spring. The girls were members of the newly organized Jun- ior High Pep Club this year which they enjoyed very much. This was also the first year the boys partici- pated in Junior High Football. -Barry Askins Vic Barton Don Bates Carl Castle Robert Cotner Jo Crawford Cheryl Cummings Retta Dugger Dale Dunagan Ricky Eaton Don Files Mary Ann Griffith Bruce Havens Brenda Hildebrand Diana Housh Brenda Jones Linda Lancaster William Lancaster Bobby Lee Steve Lemons Paul Lewis Charlotte Long Douglas Mackey Lisa Miller______ ...

The high point of the season came when the Racers handed Wayne their only conference loss of the year, 58-52, at Wayne. This victory marked the first time that Newcastle had beaten the much taller Bulldogs in three years. The Racers placed two seniors on the All-Con- ference team, Lonnie Robertson and Craig Shaw.

FALL RECORD Newcastle 8 Dibble 3 Newcastle 8 Am-Po 1 Newcastle 16 Union City 7 Newcastle 13 Dibble 2 The Newcastle Racers made a fast start in fall baseball by defeating Dibble 8 to 3 on the loser's field in a non-conference game. In the county play-offs played at Newcastle on September 10, the Racers pounded out 15 hits on the way to a 13 to 2 rout of Dibble. The game was spiced by the steady pitching of Tommy Baker, who also added two homeruns to aid his own cause. New- castle played host to Amer-Pocassett on September 16 to determine the District Championship. Fall baseball for 1970 ended for the Newcastle Racers on September 25 when they met Granite in the Regionals and were defeated 10-2. The tourna- ment, hosted by Binger, included four teams: New- castle, Binger, Sentinel, and Granite, all winners of their respective districts. In the opening round of the tourney, Binger defeated Sentinel, and Granite knocked off the Racers. The following day Granite won the two-day tournament from Binger 1-0 and therefore won a berth in the state tournament where they made it to the finals only to be shut out by Asher 6-0.

At the end of the season the win-loss record was 3-3 with one tie. Next year we are hoping to start a high school B team, in which we will have a 10-game schedule. Coach Terry Homan, who was head football and track coach at Hinton before coming to Newcastle, has done very much toward helping our boys start an important and successful team. His assistant coach, Mr. Dick Tannery, has also been a great help to the team. The team is looking forward to 1971-72 when Mr. Homan will become the high school coach and will try to lead the boys to an even better season.
