North Cove High School North Cove, North Carolina Congratulations to the CONASOGA staff of 1960 and to its advisor, Mrs. Caldwell. One of the greatest treasures in life is that feeling of pride that we experi- ence when we have done our tasks well. The task of compiling this fine year- book exemplifies the determination and devotion possessed by each of you. This book will serve to remind you of many happy experiences. It is my wish that each of you be blessed with an abundance of happy experiences as you meet the challenge of life. Sincerely, Principal J, Seated, left to right: GUINN, HUSKINS, MRS.

MARY ROSE BYRD Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. WILMA JEAN CLINE Love conquers all. Better is open rebuke than hidden love. DAVID WORTH COX To be happy you must forget yourself. MARGARET ANN GUINN For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. JOYCE CHRISTINE HOGAN HILDA KAY HOLLIFIELD JAMES E. HUSKINS JO ANN JOHNSON Dwell not upon yesterday ' s mis- His heart ' s content when on To know her is to love takes, nor today ' s failures, but mischief bent, upon tomorrow ' s success. Father Time, as he grows old, teaches many lessons and heals many broken hearts. I agree with no man ' s opinions. I have some of my own. JIMMY RAY STOCKTON Why is friendliness such an awkward situation? DOUGLAS MACK TAYLOR SHELBY JEAN ROBERTSON May 20, 1970 North Cove, North Carolina Dear Margaret, I have just returned from a tour of the European countries v here my hus- band is now serving in the Navy. David Cox is also in the Navy aboard the same ship as my husband. David has recently been promoted; he is now chip- ping paint instead of mopping floors. While on my tour I came in contact with many of our classmates. Some of them have surely done well for them- selves. Jo Anne Johnson is now operating a coffee shop in Paris; she decided in this after a year at North Cove making the teachers ' coffee and selling ice cream. Jimmy Huskins is now a private detective at Scotland Yard; surely hope he catches all the criminals. Also in Europe are Richard Williams and Wayne Ollis, From all his experiences keeping his Austin running, Richard has been made chief mechanic by this English company. Wayne is there as the designer of a new racing model. Back in the States Jean Cline is coaching the American Girls ' Basketball team for the World Championship, When one of the team was injured, she was treated by, Joyce Hogan, now a nurse in one of the New York hospitals. Billy Washburn is also in New York editing LIFE magazine. He had the ex- perience of having edited the CONASOGA in 1960. Two of our boys have gone into business lately; Douglas Taylor is the new owner of Lonon ' s store and Jimmy Stockton is a part owner in the Thread City Service Station. The remainder of our class are still in McDowell County. Danny Washburn is teaching Driver ' s Education here; he can now distinguish between the door and window handles. Dicky McKinney is in the county as the Schlitz distribu- tor. Larry Williams and Mary Rose Byrd are married and live at Woodlawn. Shelby Jean Robertson is married to the man she has chased all her life and has three little blond haired boys. Junior Biddix is chief manager of the Fish Hatch- ery. Margaret, I hope the new addition to your family is a boy, so that you can name it Roy, Jr. If you hear any further news from our group, write and let me know. The 1960 seniors are difficult to keep in touch with. Your classmate, Hilda Kaye Left to right: LINDA BOYD, Secretary; JANICE HOLLIFIELD, Reporter; ARNOLD BYRD, President; S. W. HOLLIFIELD, Vice President; DORIS ELLIOTT, Treasurer. Our Junior Class officers helped with the play, raised money for the Washington trip, planned and raised money for the Junior-Senior Banquet, and supported the school. All these activities were under the sponsorship of Mrs. McNeil. LINDA BOYD WILLA M. BROWN ARNOLD L. BYRD FANNIE CHAPMAN HELEN DALE R. GARLAND GWEN HOGAN M. HOLDER B. HOLLIHELD J. HOLLIFIELD L.
