1969 Spring Sports Dag highlighted bg A dance featuring the Soul Mes- sengers and the North Central Relays track meet highlighted the eleventh annual All-Sports Day. The event brought out a massive showing of Panther spirit in support of the teams. Although the baseball double header with Shelbyville was rained out, the North Central Relays were a huge success. The contest was a close match between the Panthers and the Tech Titana, who finally de- feated Central by a score of 79 to 72. Representing the Panthers at the dance meet were Rick Lash and Greg Hen- derson in the dashes, Harry Penning- ton, LaSalle Thompson, and Rick Stone in the distance runs, and Steve Callaway and Bob Perlstein in the pole vault, and Joe Poland in the shot put. Pam St. John was elected queen. The All-Sports Dance was a suc- cess that was attended by a larger crowd than ever before. The chair- man of the Student Council spon- sored affair, Barb deRaimes, helped choosing the theme, Stoned Soul Picnic. BUSILY READYING the award medals, the members of the Spring Sports queen court eagerly anticipate the announce- ment of the winning team. IN A FINAL SPURT of energy, Rick Lash nears the finish line in the North Cen- tral relays. UP, UP, AND AWAY, Senior Bob Perlstein easily clears the bar in the North Cen- tral relays. The Harriers went on to place second in the state meet. Student Life-9 f

The war in Vietnam, inflation, pollution, in- creased pornography in literature, and drug usage create a concerned mood over the 1969 scene. Likewise, reaching the moon, successful race relations, efforts toward peace, ar- tificial hearts and cures for diseases leave a mood of accomplishment and tranquility over us. Expanded mass media and a broader education enable N.C. students to make in- telligent observations and to act ac- cording to their good judgment. Though awareness of national and international p r o b I e m s prevail, there is still invaluable time to be spent participating in athletics, music, forensics, art, and drama adding to the book knowledge gained in high school. What we achieve here may help us create a happier mood for the seventies . . .
