Facilities Increase Through Growth Undying enthusiasm was one result of the physical growth in the lifelines of NSHS. Not only did the physical building expand, but the number of students also increased by hundreds. In April we saw the first stages of the new construction, and by August the auditorium in the new fine arts wing towered beside the Carrollton water tower. The first reality of large numbers was crowding 2,200 students and fac- ulty into a gym with a 1,500 seatin capacity. Though space was limited? our exuberance was unsur ressable. At our second varsity football ame against St. Marks, we stood closer than shoulder to shoulder to support the hustlinghTrojans. Some p ysical changes came about more suddenly than others. Science and health students were surprised to be blacked out one day in October. The electricians seemed to know less about the lights than they did the school's clocks. After time stood still at 1:50 for more than six months, the repairmen were seen replacing the clocks but must have forgotten to wind them. One temporary addition to our building was the two extra tempo- rary buildings. Housing Power Mechanics, CVAE General Con- struction, and On-Cam us Suspen- sion classes, the T-buifiling served their purpose even though they were of some inconvenience. On stormy days, walkin to these classes was all but enjoyiale. But surprisingly, the temperatures in the rooms were more consistent than those in the school. With warm welcomes from many athletes, tracksters in particular, the NSI-IS track was completed and opened in the fall. Sprinters and uis- tance runners began to beat .jail paths in the tar and loosfe gravefl Other Carrolltonites, busjness men and housewives, also enjoyed the facilities for their weeker j jogging.

Student Body, Vital Life F oroe The constant life, the rapid rythmng Newman Smith High School thrived on the vital force of its stu- dent body. As NSI-IS students our mind were one and our actions reflected our thoughts: thoughts that originated not from the minds of stu- dents individual but a combination ofideas. Off-campus privileges were not a result of a handful of requests' the senior class made its feelings known by proding and publicizing The freshman executive committee was not wholly responsible for home coming decorations the entire stu dent body combined efforts to make the first homecoming a success Senate displayed their oneness year round Upper and lower class men worked on an equal level to present the Rick Prelsey assembly participate in the Carrollton Country Fair and Award senior scholarships And through all these interactions we sensed a dependence At the sea son s final basketball game our Tro Ieff Wiggins ind Don Coodson hue lost interest in food after waiting in line jans depended on its followers for inspiration and strength. And the crowd depended on the athletes to satisfy their hunger for a victory. The steady rumble growing to a roar each time a Smith point was scoredg the sudden lessening of air pressure as every viewer gasped watching a Turner player go up for a lay up' both contributed to our unity and comradery Unavoidably we were sometimes united a little more than we would have wished to be At registrations we stood in line at station five for 20 minutes to be told to return to station to start over Meanwhile waiting were Mrs Pevetoe or Ms Patterson or any one of a number of sponsors who tried to organize some extra work on these supposed free days Singularly we were powerless and conquerable but throbbing as the lifeblood of NSHS we were IHVIIICI ble changing and shaping the LIFE LINES of our school Ms Witherspoon Mary Abbott and other band students share cotton candy at the Battle of the Bands in the Cotton Bowl Coach Bubba Fife gives defensive instructions l a varsity football player The football teal received mental support from Coach Fife wr akin-
