North Carolina School for the Deaf - Clock Tower Yearbook (Morganton, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 68 of the 1958 volume:

Our Alma Mater Hark the sound of youthful voices Singing sweet and clear; While each loyal heart rejoices Alma Mater dear. Ours is the greatest school of all; No finer can there be From our lovely western mountains To the eastern sea! For we are Tar Heels born, And Tar Heels bred, And when we die, We'll be Tar Heels dead! Ont seca raw Neon) RalberaheNeGaoup) Let’s cheer together! Rah! Rah! Rah! She Click: En of 1938 Dublished ly the Sentox Class WA the é laxth Gavxolina School por lhe Teuf Gorewortd The Senior Class of 1958 hopes that you who read this book will enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it. It was hard work, but a labor of love, nevertheless. For making the Clock Tower possible, we are especially indebted to Mrs. Jack Starrett for her invaluable services as advisor, to Mr. Albert Mehl for his excellent photographic work, and to Mr. Paul Crutchfield for his assistance in the printing process. CATZ, . ss Po our ever helpful, alwavs loving parents and teachers we, the Senior Class of 1958, dedicate this annual. We shall be eternally grateful to our parents for the sacrifices they made to kecp us in school and for the To Our Parents And Teachers love and understanding they have always given us. To our teachers we want to express our deep appreciation for the patience and hard work they have exerted in our behalf. We hope to prove ourselves worthy of their trust. Our Superintendent BEN E. HOFFMEYVER To the Class of 1958, a class of natural ability, I predict and hope for vou great success and happiness. We are proud of sour educational achievement, because vour class has attained the highest academic rating oj any class to graduate from this school in many vears. The world will, however, judge you not on what you are able to do, but on what vou do. You will receive satisfaction from success and material reward, but true happiness will come through love, friendship and service to your fellowmen.

The Pep Squad of the North Carolina School for the Deaf has made for itself a very import- ant place on the campus. The royal blue skirts and white sweaters set the girls apart and create an air of excitement at all football and basketball games. The squad members are chosen because they can yell—and do they yell! They have cheered many a lagging team on to victory. The Pep Squad consists of about thirty girls. To be a member a girl must be sixteen years of age; she must have good speech and she must be a good sport. Each year the num- ber of outgoing seniors in the squad determine the number of new girls coming in. Awards are given at the end of the school year. Those who have completed one year of service are given N.C.S.D. monograms, Arm stripes are awarded for eac h year after receiv- ing the monogram. The Pep Squad was organized in 1948 and has grown in importance until today it is one of the most popular organizations on the campus. Under the leadership of the following of- ficers, another happy year for the squad has ended. ETesid ent i= eeen eee Emily Whitesides Vice-President _....._____ Virginia Biddix _.........

The 1957 NCSD geridders compiled a spark- ling 7-1 record and were ranked second in the nation among schools for the deaf football teams. The Bears’ only loss was a 39-19 past- ing at the hands of perenially powerful Hard- ing High of Charlotte, one of the top AA clubs in the state. The Rams held victories this season over such class AAA powers as Wilmington and Parker High of Greenville, South Carolina. Lacking individual stars last season, the Bears this year came forth with a quartet of All-Americans headed by halfback Bill “The Flash” Williams who was selected by both the Silent Worker and the Frat. Halfback Charles Pless made the Frat first team and was given Special Mention by the Silent Worker. Tackle Ronnie Spivey was chosen for second team berths by both magazines and Quarterback Gary Greenwood was a Silent Worker second team choice. Fullback Homer Fox, end Donald Core, and center Terry Dillon received honorable mention. Coach William “Dub” Hord, in his first year at the helm after serving as assistant to John Kubis for three years, deserves praise for leading the Bears to a fine season. Next year Hord faces a tremendous rebuilding job with the loss of Williams, Pless, Spivey, Fox, Core, Dillon, Franklin Handy, Clint Thomas, Richard Lockamy and Linwood Maready, eight of whom were starters this season. The Bear gridders have the best six year mark among schools for the deaf in the nation with a record of 42 wins as against only 5 losses 1 and one tie since the beginning of the 1952 season.

Although they came out on the short end of the score in several games, each member of the girls basketball team deserves a medal for sportmanship. They were always eager to win in every game and were usually found fighting to the last whistle. We hope ‘that those leaving the team this year will hand down their spirit and courage to future teams. Grace Canady, the star forward, broke her own record in a single game by bucketing 66 points at Drexel. As she has played for four years and thus will not be back on the court next year, she will be sorely missed. During her spectacular basketball career she has amassed 1,797 points which is the highest ever made by a girl in N.C.S.D.’s history. Martha Duffell is not to be overlooked as she, too, had an important part on the team. Not only did she feed the ball to the other for- wards, but also, she was noted for her long surprise shots from outside the freethrow circle. Gerry Gardner, Mildred Clark, and Janice Leonard did fine defensive work. They, too, w lt not play next year and will be missed. Jo Ann Allen and Carolyn Outlaw were the team’s chief moral supporters as they follow- ed the team around on its trips, holding their valuables and serving as manager and score- keeper respectively. ; The Season’s Record INC SD: Opponents 59—Salem 64 82—Drexel _ : 81 48—Oak Hill __ ae. : 59 65—Old Fort —_ Pee det 9 35 (5 Salen seein ee ee. ae 113 S22—- Walter ok 85 AA N CD00 cen cast a aes 5 ee gee me 61—Glenwood 57 Do (Ja Ky Hil] eee ee peat 61 67—SouthCarolina eGenes 13 73———W alnut see ees eames oe ok we ee) (4, 30—Bakersville.

The Bear cagers posted a 17-3 season mark to make the ’°57-’58 campaign one of the most successful cage seasons in school history. The sweetest victory, however, was a narrow 37-36 win over the Virginia School for the Deaf at Staunton which enabled the NCSD five to regain possession of top spot in the Mason-Dixon tournament. The Bears had been dethroned by Mississippi in the finals of the 57 tourney at Jackson. The Burke County Conference tournament was held in the spacious NCSD gym for the first time and the Bears were the host team. However, an opening round loss to Drexel, 51-46, eliminated the Bears from contention. Next vear, the Bears will be fullfledged mem- bers of the tough Burke County Conference. The squad was again led by Charles Pless who averaged 20.6 points per game. Bill Williams, Homer Fox, Ronnie Spivey, and Franklin Handy rounded out the all-senior starting line up. Others who will be lost to the squad next season are Ned and Fred Caudle and Richard Lockamy. Coach Bill Blevins again did a creditable job in his second year at the helm. Next year he will be faced with a tremendous rebuilding job.

The track season ended with a record of 2-0 win. Bad weather and the field, being under construction, deprived NCSD Bears of regular and proper practice. However, N. C. S. D. made 6 points in the sectional meet at Charlotte. Bill Williams set the school record, running 15.8 sec. in 120-yard high hurdle. In the future, as predicted, N. C. S. D. will have the second best track in North Carolina.

To our Board of Directors, our superintend- ent, principal and assistant principal, fauclty and household staft, we leave a place in our hearts for the generous help they have always given us. To the junior class, we leave our senior privileges, teachers, classroom, books, and also the Hercules labors which are always required of the senoirs. Jo Ann Allen bequeaths her love for pretty clothes to Barbara Phillips. Marie Bailey bequeaths her modesty and serenity to Lucille Waldrup. Melvin Blakley leaves his beard-growing ability to Larry Snipes. Franklin Brown hands on his addiction to coffee to Ronnie Spivey. Mildred Carraway bequeaths her love for writing letters to Janice Leonard. Donald Core gives his skill at playing basketball to Charles Pless. Terry Dillon hands on his love for reading Reader’s Digest Condensed Books to Charles Hill. Helen Dunbar leaves her very sweet dis- position to Virginia Horne. Lee Ellen Gray wants to leave her love of buying movie and true magazines to Theresa Johnson, Linda Helms gives her devotion to duty and to her studies to Phoebe Faircloth. Tommy Johnson wills his skill in weight- lifting and other muscle building sports to Fred Shook. Robert Lewis leaves his love of talking about sport cars to Webb Matthews. Linwood Maready leaves his love of draw- ing to Christine Bain. Joan Morris hands down her almost cons- tant homesickness to Judy Wood. Carolyn Outlaw gives her great love for all kinds of food to Martha Duffell. Barbara Ray wills her habit of talking about Pat Boone to Martha Helms. Emily Whitesides bequeaths her love of reading to her sister, Martha. Billy Williams wills his football prowess to Gary Greenwood. They don’t really think she needs it, but Bill Wiliams, Terry Dillon, Tommy Johnson and Franklin Brown leave their love for the New York Yankees to Mrs. Starrett. These bequests are our most cherished possessions, and we leave them to all of you in the hope that they will enrich your lives as they have ours. Class Pp tophecy Carolyn Outlaw In the year 1980 the Class of 58 had their annual reunion at their old Alma Mater. The landing space for private helicopters and air- planes was jammed! The new modern flat- topped buildings certainly helped out the parking problem at N.U.5.D. So few people bother with automobiles nowadays. The first person of note we see is Mr. Hoff- meyer. Boy, those new longevity pills are really working for him! He simply doesn’t look a day older! He told us that all of our teachers were around waiting to see us except Mr. Simpson. He had taken his science class to the moon in the school space ship. Franklin Brown and Donald Core have a refuelling station on the moon. Several of us have pa- tronized their station and were well pleased with the excellent service we received. Jo Ann, Barbara, Lee Ellen and I are all married now with prosperous husbands. They are compar- ing clothes, hair-dos, houses, husbands, and names and ages of their various progeny. Emily Whitesides and Linda Helms are dis- cussing their important jobs in Washington — Top secret stuff, we hear! Bill Williams and Robert Lewis are trying to talk Melvin Blakley into investing in their new printing company. I hear Bill say, “With all our new modern equipment the plant practically runs itself. There’s really very little work for us big shots to do!” I see Terry Dillon talking to Tommy Johnson about the one man show he recently had at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. I understand Terry sold a lot of his paintings. Tommy, not to be outdone, is telling Terry about the physical culture course he is planning for the small people from Mars. Quite a few of these small ladies and gentle men have already enrolled, according to Tommy. There’s Marie Bailey talking to Joan Morris and Mildred Carraway. Marie, we hear, will be the first missionary to Mars. Joan and Mildred are telling Marie about their exclusive dress shop on Fifth Avenue. I suppose they are trying to sell Marie a new wardrobe for her trip. Linwood Maready and Helen Dunbar are discussing sports. Helen is the girls’ basket- ball coach at Gallaudet now and Linwood coaches the tabulous Giants Pro football team. Both of their teams had undefeated seasons last year. All in all, the old Class of ’58 look very prosperous and happy. Who knows what we'll find at next year’s reunion? The Heart Of The Tree What does he plant who plants a tree? What does he plant who plants a tree? He plants a friend oj sun and sky, He plants cool shade and tender rain, lle plaitts the flag of breezes free; And seed and bud of days to be, The shajt of beauty, towering high; nd years that fade and flush again; Ile plants a home to heaven aiigh 17e plants the glory of the plain; For song and mother-croon of bird Ile plats the forest’s heritage; The treble of hcaven’s harmony— The harvest of a coming age; In hushed and happy twil’ght heard— The joy that unborn eves shall see— These things he plants who plants a tree These things he plants who plants a tree. What does he plant who plants a tree? He plants, in sap and leay and wood, In love of home and loyalty And far-cast thought of civic good— His blessings on the neighorhood Who in the hollow of His hand Holds all the growth of all our land— A nation’s growth from sea to sea Stirs in his heart who plants a tree.

JOHN W. CARTER Valedictory Terry Dillon We are deeply grateful to the state and to the people of the State of North Carolina for the splendid education we have received at our School for the Deaf. To the board members, we wish to thank you all for your interest and efforts m our behalf. To the superintendent, the principals, the teachers, and the other staff members, we want to express our gratitude for your patien- ce, understanding, love, and kindness. It is difficult to realize that we are leaving this school where we have had a “home away from home” for many years. We are ready to face the world unafraid because of the excellent opportunities which we have received here. To the students with whom we have shared many joyous events and even a few sorrows throughout our school life. We say farewell until we meet again. And to each of you here present and to our beloved alma mater, we bid an affectionate farewell. Salutatory Linda Helms We of the graduating class of 1958 of the North Carolina School for the Deaf are very happy to welcome our friends, parents, and alumni to our commencement today. Your presence inspires us and makes us realize more fully the importance of all our school days. We are very honored in having Dr. Charles F. Carroll, Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion of North Carolina, to deliver our com- mencement address. Dr. Carroll, it means so much to have you with us today. Members of the Board of Directors, we are happy to have you with us, too, and we wish to express our sincere thanks for the support you have given us, Mr. Hoffmeyer, we deeply appreciate your clear and understanding interpretations. Relatives, friends, and alumni who share this eventful day with us, we extend a cordial welcome to each of you.
