CLNLYVC NTL? The Q6 MB, ,rif f f NORTH MECKLENBURC SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA VOL. IX ,SJ I Y Miss Mary Richards is librarian at North. A familiar sight at the fall festival, was Miss Richards selling homemade candy. Here she sold a bag to Meri Adams. Viking Honors Teacher Throughout her years of teaching at North, Miss Richards has become known to countless numbers of students as a friend, a tireless worker, and a dedicated teacher. Her devoted work as librarian has made the library at North one of the best in the county, and as a teacher of senior English, her students' success at college proves her to be capable and patient. For her continual work for the betterment of North, for her tireless energy, and for her de- votion to her work, the 1960 Viking is proudly dedicated to Miss Mary Richards. Time Brings Many Changes September, 1951! What a change there had been in the high schools of Mecklenburg County. In- stead of many, there were only three-North, East, and West. This brought about man changes in the curriculum, and that was good for many stu- dents desired more than the high schools had of- fered before. Industrial arts, business training to a greater de- gree, Latin, sociology, business law, and many other such courses were offered for the first time. By degrees other courses came-distributive edu- cation, physical education, chorus, economics, and family living among others. Then came the space age and physics took on new meaning. By means of film, the class cov- ered much more than previous classes. Advanced mathematics courses, including college algebra, were offered for those interested and capable. History through the medium of television be- came a part of North. All changes were not just in the curriculum of the school, however. The number of students had increased by the hundreds. The faculty had grown in number, and more buildings were added. A new seriousness of purpose was evidenced by students and teachers. Attitudes were changing, also. To aid the students in finding themselves and using their abilities to the utmost, the guidance program was intensified. Many more students were seeking the counseling of the adult advisers, for students were concerned about their future. Yes, changes were taking place slowly and care- fully, without confusion and haste. And these changes were in the right direction-straight ahead, denoting progress. It had been a good nine years for North.

Lift your heads and raise your voices Clear across the sky, Now to thee, our Alma Mater, Hail to Old North High. Standing in all her majesty, shaded by the mighty oak trees, the modern structure of steel, brick, and concrete came alive when teachers and students first entered her halls and class- rooms. They came to Work, to playg to study, to dream, to learn to live in harmony: to express opinions and ideas, to listen with an open mind to others, viewpoints, to be tolerant, yet just, and to shoulder responsibilities. May it ever be so, that students come to grow . . . in mind, in body, and in spirit . . . and give meaning and life to North Mecklenburg High. An Indian summer day called the Viking staff out of doors to discuss ideas for the 1960 edition of the year- book.

When North first opened, the auditorium was not completed, but before many weeks it was in use. Many of North's activities are held in this building. Pride In North Justified just as it has been over the years, students, plishments of its students. Each year brings new faculty, and community are proud of North, not successes for many, and students look to the future only for its physical plant, but for the accom- with courage and enthusiasm. Page Six Lift your heads and raise your voices, K Clear across the sky, Now to thee, our Alma Mater, Hail to Old North High. Many buses bring students to North, some of these students riding a school bus for the first time in all their school years. I Remember Friends.. . . . especially those who took an active part in school affairs as they worked side by side to serve the school in many ways. Together students enjoyed planning class par- ties, dancing in sock feet, practicing for class plays, and selling Christmas cards. They painted colorful posters to build school spirit, got in shape for sports, and prepared for College Day. Committee meetings, clubs, special events, elec- ship and into lasting friendships. Friendships here we'll e'er remember, Cherish till we die, Time and space can ne'er divide us As the years go by. Howard Bennett, Jean Caldwell, Herman Overcash, and Wookie Workman p1'acticed the AY skit. gzgdrgyvJIzie:'l1gi3,Sylyiav.Cable, Harry Dudley, Darlene Brigance, and Patin Howard were a part of the Page Seven tion campaigns, chapel programs . . . all these help- ed to draw the students into a closer bond of fellow- A sock hop in the gym provided fun and an opportunity to know other students. Memories Are Everlasting Many of thc occasions for fun and for group participation at North lingered fondly in the mem- ories of students, but with the passing of time, only a few stood out vividly. Each student held on- to some exciting event and relived it from time to time. A football schedule. a dance program, a pressed orchid, a sports letter, a note from a friend-all these were to be found among one's souvenirs. Never to be forgotten, was the tingling excite- ment when an admiring glance told one that his presence was noted. Too, the joy in making a friend over a math problem or a bond of friendship formed at the table in the cafeteria were to be remembered always. Football games, excited students, music in march tempo, cheerleaders dancing, and majorettes and letter girls performing at the half were unforgettable memories. Page Eight Serving with others brings joy. Glenda Parker, Miss Adams, and Tish Johnston worked with the social com- mittee at the sophomore sock hop. Taking part in talent shows sponsored hy the school was fun for Ann Nl.u'iv Os- borne. The joy of being chosen as a sponsor at Homecoming was something unforgettable.

Remembered, too, was how foolish one felt in the draped costume of the Romans, especially the boys. Caught unaware by the photographer were a group of students at the Latin banquet. ll Page Ten Abbie Leazer and Wayne Grant worked in the shop. Not only were there joyous social events to re- member, but there were other special happenings which were of importance. That first sophomore day will never be forgotten, that lost feeling is still quite vivid. That sinking spirit at the first glance of the achievement tests is remembered, too. Being a junior was something to be proud of, also. It gave one a feeling of importance, a feel- ing of belonging. Many more souvenirs were add- ed in that year. The Rev. A. Leslie Thomp son spoke at the dedication of Mr. Houghis portrait But the most treasured memories were of the senior year-the day rings came, the trip to New York, ordering invitations, marching in cap and gown for baccalaureate exercises, class day, and finally marching up to get that coveted diploma. Oh, but they were all dear memories, to hold, to dream over, and to put away until another day of reminiscing about old friends and old happen- ings. Mr. Ross, Rodney Bostic, Butch Hough, Eugene Brown, john McEver, Wally Bamett, Wayne Ballard and Bill Brotherton. Page Eleven But Time Has Wrought Its Changes .. Mr. Charles Davis, a former teacher at North, and his wife Laura, who now teaches at North, were at the Sophomore reception. Both graduated from North. Page Twelve From Northis doors have gone carefree gradu- ates, entering into fruitful lives in the fields of medicine, farming, teaching, parenthood, business, and many other professions and vocations. Because of the training received at North, manv have be- come leaders in student body government at col- leges and universities. Others have willinglv ac- cepted community responsibilities and have, there- fore, used to advantage their talents and abilities. Always, at North, each vear has produced pro- gress evidenced by building additions, a larger number of teachers, and a curriculum geared to the needs of students to keep up with a moving world. In greater numbers, students are winning scholar- ships and awards, which bring recognition to North. Moreover, a greater number of graduates make their mark in the world, reflecting the good things attained at North . . . scholarship, fellowship, lead- ership, cooperativcness, and other such qualities. Yes, time has wrought its changes. ' Years may dim our recollection, Time its changes bring, Still to thee, our Alma Mater, We shall ever sing. Mrs. Kimbrough, Mr. Blythe, Mr. Gabriel, and Mrs. Elliott are past presidents of North's PTA. Mrs, Barnett is the current president. Mr. J. W. Wilson worked long and hard to effect the changes that are evident in the schools of Mecklenburg County. Under his guidance much progress has been made in recent years. Administration Advocates Progress Never satisfied but always looking to the future is the Mecklenburg County Board of Education, the local board, and Nortlfs administrative unit. Several years ago there were many high schools in the county, each made up of grades one through twelve. To give the students the opportunity to get a better education, the three upper high school grades were consolidated into three senior high schools, with another added this year. junior high schools composed of grades seven through nine have been planned for each area of the county, also. However, that is not the big- gest step forward that has been taken. In 1961, Charlotte City Schools and Mecklenburg County schools will merge into one system. It is the wish of everyone that this merger will bring the student a better chance to prepare him- self for whatever he wants from life. Poge Thirteen 5 xg J Mr Fred A. Cochran, Mr. Dave Harris, Mr. I. W. Wilson, Mr. Lacey Ranson, Mr. W. B. McClintock, and Mr. 1. Mason Smith made up the County Board of Education. Student Welfare Center Ot Boards' Attention Ever mindful of what is good and what is right for every student, both the county and local boards moved forward, even in the face of criticism and, at times, opposition. When the idea of a 6-3-3 school system was first advocated, there was much to be said against it. But with patience and courage, the county board went about its work of trying to convince the public that what they were doing was in the interest of everyone. Now, after several years of consolidation, the public acclaims gladly that it was a big step for- ward in the education of their children. Much good had come from the consolidation program. Mr. Sam Wilson, Dr. R. M. Withers, Mr. Ben Washam, Mr. lenburg Committee. Because of the addition of the perimeter area to the city, it was felt that better schools would result from the consolidation of the city and the county systems. Seeing that it would be in the interest of the students to consolidate the two systems, the county board approached the merger with the same spirit as it had the 6-3-3 division. With a great unselfish spirit, the local commit- teemen moved with the county board to bring about this change. Mecklenburg County students are privileged, indeed, to have such administrative units. john Mitzel, and Mr. C. D. Bradford were on the North Meck- Poge Fourteen Possessing qualities that command the respect and admiration of every student at North, Mr. W. A.

The maiority of the students ate lunch in the cafeteria each day. Serving North as custodian since its opening, Mr. Hugh Deaton and his janitorial staff kept the building clean and neat looking. Mr. Deaton is responsible for keeping the building Warm during the winter months. and this year he had to add shoveling show to his list of duties. He sees that the grass and shrubbery are well kept. and he look- ed after the buildings in many ways. The janitorial staff worked to keep everything clean and to keep things sanitary. Mr. Deaton, Custodian Iohn Staton, Catherine Berry, and Mary Davis formed the janitorial staff. Page Twenty-Two Roger Miller frightj bought a live lobster and brought it to M rs. Hart. From the things he was able to tell about it, he must have sat up all night watching it. Scholastic Development Important Aim Of School To develop the student into a well-rounded in- dividual is the aim of the school, but to allow and encourage him to develop his abilities to the ut- most is a primary aim. Each student has a respon- sibility to himselfg and until he has done his work to the best of his ability, he has not fulfilled that responsibility. The student who shirks his duty quite often finds that doors to greater op- portunities are closed to him. Sometimes the stu- dent realizes this too late to do anything about it. Teachers and administrative personnel at North try to guide the student into the realization that high school years provide the best means of prepar- ation so that the student may take advantage of any opportunities that may come to him. Realizing that at times opportunities are a pro- duct of oneis initiative, students are encouraged to develop that and other qualities in their scho- lastic Work. Many tests are given to help the student find himself, so that he may use his time to an ad- vantage to promote his own welfare. Classroom teachers try to guide students to seek knowledge and to develop a curiosity about things, so that they will develop all their aptitudes. Northis classes try to give each individual what he needsg and regardless of what he aspires to do, the school tries to help him develop in order to achieve that purpose.

Science Challenges Keen Minds Today, with the development of missiles, scien- tific drugs, satellites, and outer space travel, science has become the most exacting and the most import- ant course. However, other subiects are not to be neglected. In order to keep up with our fast chang- ing world and the new way of living, a student must be a strong enough and adaptable enough to face these things. Our future scientists must have keen minds and far-reaching visions for the world of tomorrow. In order to prepare himself for this work, the stu- dent has to take as much math and as many courses in science as he can possibly get. Biology, physics, and chemistry are taught at North. Biology students study the basic funda- mentals of animal and plant life. In the labora- tory they learn how an animals system works and Page Twenty-Four then make that application to the more intricate systems, such as their own. Phvsics is taught by means of film, thus allow- ing for more material to be covered. Here one studies matter and its relationships. Chemistry of- fers the student an opportunity to learn the chemi- cal and physical properties of elements. All students are required to take biology before graduation from high school, and chemistry and physics are recommended if the student plans to go to college. Science fairs stimulate interest in working on projects. This year Suzy Daggy and George Mc- Ever took first places in the biological and the physical sciences. Bobby Henderson, Roy Smith and Buddy Kerns also placed. fiore fun than working a puzzle 'ls diagramming a sentence, specially the ones Mrs. Mott ut on the board for her first errod senior class. Mrs. Barfield's business English class worked on vocabulary building, using the Readerfs Digest Ability To Express Ideas Urgently Needed According to executives in many fields and to leaders in every walk of life, the greatest need of the student today is to learn to express himself orally as well as in writing. Knowing there is a definite relationship between vocabulary and suc- cess, all teachers emphasize studying words and rising them correctly. To know how to put the words in sequence to express an idea vividly comes from study and prac- tice. Learning to diagram sentences gives one a picture of a sentence: and certainly if one can dia- gram the sentence correctly, he knows something about the sentence and the parts of it. Diagram- ming is not an end, but the means to an end. Reading and learning how other people express themselves help the student. Book reports are re- quired for this purpose, as well as learning the cul- tural background of a nation. Each student is rc- quired to read a certain number of books, SOITN' of these assigned and others of the studentis choice. Three years of English are required at North, and each graduate must have finished these with passing grades. Basic, college preparatory, and bus- iness English courses are offered so that each stu- dent might find the exact thing that will help him most.

Reasoning Power Demanded In Mathematics More and more often a college education is re- quired of job applicants. Moreover, a basic knowl- edge of mathematics and its application are de- manded. Because of these facts, the math courses at North each year are improved so that students who,have completed them will be eligible for jobs that require a thorough knowledge of mathe- matics. Fundamentals that are learned here in first and second year algebra are later put into practice in college algebra, in plane and solid geometry, and in trigonometry. Not only do these courses prepare Page Twenty-Six the college-bound students for advanced study, but they also prepare students to go into business upon graduation from high school. Business math is offered for those wanting a practical course in math. This year college algebra is being offered so that students who have the ability and the need for such a course can prepare themselves for more advanced math in college. Two years of math are required for graduation in Mecklenburg County. . .V aff A Miss Kiker explained the relation of labor to capital after a television lesson on labor unions Social Studies Broaden Students' Outlook Through social studies the student acquires a knowledge of the past as well as the present day problems of the world. Using this knowledge en- ables the student to understand better the people of the world, their past mistakes, and their successes. Miss Johnston checked Barry Sims's Bible notebook. 'eff' 2923? To live in harmony and in amity with his fellow man is desired by every person. Sociology offers a better opportunity to study man and his habits, and many times new ideas for human relations are acquired. Bible, as well as sociology, is offered to the stu- dent at North. Bible helps him to get a good background in the study of the people of the Old Testament. He learns the history of the people that he reads about in the Bible. Studying current events helps one understand what is going on in the world today, and U. S. history students have to keep themselves up to date in this class. This course is required of all students, and some of the classes are taught by television, while others are regular classes. VVorld history is not required, but many of the students, especially those preparing for college, take this course. Here he gains a background for an understanding of all people. One must have a knowledge of the past in order to understand the present and act for the future. Distributive Education is also a social study. In this class the students learn the production and distribution of goods and how they affect the economy of a nation. Page Twenty-Seven Iudy Crump and Virginia Grant put rolls into the oven to bake. Carolyn Hucks and Nancy Barkley worked in the background. Although farming, selling, and other such voca- tions are important, the homemaker is just as essential. To be a good homemaker requires a knowledge of many things, and these things must be learned just as thoroughly as any other job must be learned. Personality development, family relations, child growth, home decorating, clothing, budgeting, and caring for the sick are some of the things learned through these home economics courses. How to make one's own clothing and how to prepare balanced meals are essential for the home- maker. Much time is spent learning these things. Family living classes include boys as well as girls, and these students make a beginning here for a better understanding of one's community and the civic affairs that are vital in today's family life. Importance Oi Homemaker Recognized Florine Brooks, Judy Barfield, and Paulette Howard prepared the table for the group's meal. Page Twenty-Eight Vocational Courses Give Practical Knowledge Students taking vocational agriculture and In- dustrial arts learn to put into practice what they learn from books, lectures, and demonstrations. Boys taking agriculture learn about the soil, seeds, animals, and other things necessary for a farmer to know. They also learn to make furniture, cabinets, and other things that are needed in the home or around the farm. They learn about modern ma- chinery that makes the farmer's work easier and what tools are needed to do certain work. Mechanical drawing develops precision and gives the student an opportunity to learn something about becoming an architect. He learns to work with the tools used by the architect. He learns to design and to draw plans for many things. In Industrial Arts the class puts into practice the designs and plans they have drawn. The students learn to work with power tools. They learn also that their own power is needed in many of these jobs. Bill Grier and Chuck Mosely displayed good work in mechanical drawing class. Page Twenty-Niue jim McConnell found that it took several hours of sanding to make the table smooth enough to stain. Working on a table also was Calvin Wilson Another of the classes that is enjoyed by stu- dents participating in it is physical education. Not only does it train the body, but it also builds team- work between students and teachers. Students learn many skills, some in individual sports and some in team sports. Good sportsman- ship is stressed along with importance of carrying out onels responsibility, whether in a game or in more serious situations. Folk dancing, tumbling, bowling, badminton, and many games with a ball were some of the instruc- tive as well as enjoyable games in which students participated. ln the fall students learned the many rules of soccer, but as winter approached, the game of basketball took up the hours spent in the gym. XVith the first sign of spring, students enjoyed getting out into the open to engage in softball. The boys took up wrestling, and a course in first aid kept the girls on their toes. Since there are no competitive sports for girls at North, physical education classes worked up tournaments in basketball, soccer, and badminton. Trophies were given to the winners in these sports, which were played after school hours. Brenda Christenbury, Betty jean Morris, and Betty Me Auley played ball. Physical Education Trains In Teamwork Tumbling is a favorite sport of the boys, but it is carried on under the strict supervision of in instructor. Carelessness is not allowed in a sport of this kind. Consuelo Overcash, Bonnie Grose, Barbara jones, Marie Akins, Maybre Davis, Kay Carter, Paulette Howard learn t operate many business machines in office practice class. Commercial Courses Further Job Opportunities For students who plan to go immediately into office jobs, commercial courses open many doors. A variety of courses helps prepare the students for many jobs, so that they will not be limited to just one type of work. Bookkeeping, typing, shorthand, office practice, and business English are offered at North. Typing I and Typing II give the commercial students sufficient preparation in that subject to hold any typing job that might be offered. Of course the students must apply themselves if they are to hold the best jobs. But the opportunity is here if the students desire to take advantage of it. Shorthand I and Shorthand Il also give students sufficient opportunity to learn enough shorthand to hold a secretary's position, if the student has applied himself. ln business English, spelling, vocabulary study 7 punctuation, letter writing, oral and written ex- pression. and other fundamentals are stressed. To be a self-reliant, efficient office worker requires the use of good business English. Bookkeeping and office practice help the stu- dent acquire self-reliance, also. VVhen the student goes to his first job and is required to use business machines, they are not strange to him, for he has learned how to operate many of them in class. The fundamentals of bookkeeping are learned also, so that the student may go into a job and do it well with a minimum of trouble. Students at North who have worked well in class and learned to be accurate and efficient have no trouble finding a job in an office. Many times they go into jobs which are not ordinarily offered to beginners. The opportunities are many if the student wants to accept the challenge.

Foreign Languages Aid Students Not just to learn a foreign language, but also to learn as much as possible about the languages from which our own is built are the purposes of French and Latin classes. The wit who wrote that Latin is a dead language, It's dead as dead can beg It killed out all the Romans, And now its killing me. did not have a purpose for studying the langu- age from which a majority of our own words have come. Students of Latin at North learn the relationship of our language to that of the Romans during Caes- aris time: they learn the customs and historv of peopleg they learn to appreciate the culture of the people in that time, and they plan projects which give them better understanding of the people. French classes are held every period during the Page Thirty-Two In English day, with students studying first and second year French. Once each week after school a class in French H1 is taught so that students interested in the language might study the country's literature as well as become proficient in speaking and writing French. Many of our English words were taken from the French, so a study of that language helps one learn his own language. Customs and history of the people are also learned. Clubs formed in each second year class helped to make these customs more vivid, for programs centered on the French people. Certainly students who have a knowledge of many languages add to their cultural background, also. hut other advantages are far more important to the students at North. The most important of these are better understanding of grammar, correct usage of English and a larger vocabulary which permits the student to express himself well. Chorus classes are a regular part of the curriculum. Mr. Larry Phillips is the director of music at North. Chorus And Bond VVhen North was in its formative years, the Clee Club was an active organization of the school, but there was no teacher of chorus. The Club met at aetivitv period, with one of the teachers as a spon- sor. Band was a part of the curriculum rather early and met one class period and activity period. The Clee Club was shifted from one teacher to the other, sometimes with a student director, but before too many years a director of music came to Classes Enjoyable North to give the students a better opportunity to participate in music classes. But beginning in Sep- tember of 1959 chorus was offered to those request- ing it as a regular class carrying a unit,s credit. Band was offered only during a class period, carrying credit with it, alsog but because so manv students could not schedule it as a class. the band was very small. Music classes were serious but enjoyable. Chorus students and band students always planned a program of Christmas music, which they presented for the student body and the PTA. Howard Bennett and George McEver talked with the representative from N. C. State College on College Day. Guidance Program Essential VVhen the student finds himself in need of ad- vice, there are two counselors at North to help him find the answer to his problems, or to aid him in many other ways. Testing has been a part of North since the be- ginning. Students are given achievement tests in the sophomore year so that they can find their weaknesses and give particular attention and ef- fort to improve in that field. Too, they discover their strengths and concentrate on advancement in those subjects. The counselors administer other tests for scholar- ships, guide students in making applications for college, send transcripts to the colleges for them, and help the student plan his school program if he needs aid. Information about colleges is always available, and the student is urged to begin mak- ing plans early. Many students find their way to the counselors' door, and all are helped and encouraged.

These are sentiments often heard by students, for many people and many things are etched on their memories to make school davs unforgettable. Special days, exciting events, outstanding students-all these lend them- selves to memories-memories to be taken from the storehouse and re-lived from time to time. Such things as that special Homecoming Dance, the soft music, and a wonderful dateg the pride students felt when seniors won coveted scholar- shipsg talent shows when many acts combined with individual talent to make a memorable eveningg services rendered by hard-working studentsg the Junior-Senior Prom-all these will never be forgot- ten.

Good Citizenship And Good A11- Round Traits Bring Recognition As recipient of the annual Miss Hi Miss award, Tish Johnston represented North in VVinthrop Col- legeis tribute to senior girls from thc Carolinas. The selection for this award is based upon out- standing character, attitude, scholarship, and per- sonality. ln the spring the girls spent a week-end at Win- throp, where a special issue of the college news- paper was dedicated to them. They were enter- tained at the college and were given the opportu- nity to meet and live with many senior girls for a week-end of fun and fellowship. Page Thirty-Six Each year the Daughters of the American Revo- lution honor a senior girl with the DAR Good Citizenship Award. As a result of good citizenship throughout her school years, Glenda Parker was the recipient of this yearis award. Along with the other winners throughout t-he state. Glenda made a pil- grimage to Raleigh, where she competed for the state award. Glenda proved her right to this award for her work at North. She showed an active interest in school affairs and worked in many capacities to show the willingness and cooperativeness of a good citizen. Presentation Denotes Dignity And Humility arles Barton unveiled the portrait of Mr. Hough Mr. Bradford prepared to accept it. String sic was presented by Ioan and Suzy Daggy, ng with Glenda Parker fnot in picturel. For the photographer, Mr. Hough posed with the artist, Mr. Darrell Kortheuer who painted the portrait of Mr. Hough. To the strain of music presented by a string trio, the student body marched into assembly for one of the most impressive ceremonies ever held at North. The occasion was the presentation of a portrait of the principal, Mr. W. A. Hough, which was a gift of the Class of '59. Mr. Darrell Kortlieuer, an outstanding Charlotte artist, executed the portrait, which was presented bv Lawrence Kimbrough, president of the student body last year. Mr. C. D. Bradford, of the local committeemen, received it for the school. Charles Barton. president of last year's senior class, un- veiled the portrait. The Rev. A. Leslie Thompson gave the dedica- tion nrayer, after which Nadine Sadler, of the Class of '59, sang the Lordis Prayer. Mr. Hough very humbly expressed his appreciation for such an honor, and to close the exercises, Mr. Larry Phil- lins led the student body in singing the Alma Mater. Never had North narticinated in a more im- pressive or a more dignified ceremony. Mr. C. D. Bradford, Mr. W. A. Hough, Morris Griffin, Lawrence Kimbrough, Mr. A. Leslie Thompson, Mr. Larry Phillips and Nadine Sadler participated in the presentation of the portrait. Queen Brenda Fincher was crowned hy the former queen, Linda Fflliott.

Each student was filled with excite- ment and hurriedly carried out each assignment to make Homecoming XVeek the hest ever held at North. Sponsors appeared on the football field at the half and the queen was announced at that time.

Poster paper, paint, scissors, football uniforms, feathers, dolls- all these went into the building of the exhibit. Choice spots were chosen and held so that there would be room for each display. Then the final day came for the judging, and each homeroom eagerly awaited the decision. Only three could be chosen, but all the exhibits were good, showing that much thought and work had gone into each.

One of the Carrousel clowns amused Miss North Mecklenburg while they were waiting for the parade to start. A representative of the Carrousel Committee crowned Sandra Princess North Mecklenburg. Page Forty'--Two Carrousel Exciting Each year senior girls are nominated to represent North as Carrousel Princess in the gala parade in Charlotte at Thanksgiving. These girls are pre- sented in assembly, where the students decide which is their favorite. Sandra Kennerly won this vear. After the voting is over, the winner becomes Princess North Mecklenburg when she is presented her crown by a member of the sponsoring group. She rides in the Carrousel Parade, which is a big event in itself, but more than that she gets to take part in all the festivities of the Carrousel-the Coronation Ball, the Knights, Ball, the Judges, Breakfast, and many other exciting events. Students enthusiasm is always aroused also, for they decorate the car in which the Princess rides. A committee for that purpose works late Thanks- giving Eve in order to have the car ready. Usually, there are finishing touches to be added the next morning. Indy Barfield and Glenda Lane headed the decoration committee.

The story of the play evolved around the Cage family, whose home was abruptly entered and claimed by the previous owners, the Rockwoods. The situation became tense when the Cages were made to believe that their oldest daughter had eloped with the Rockwood's son, Matt. Later, the two families realized that there had been no elopement and that each family needed his own home. Mrs, Gage, I come to you with the understanding I was to work for one family and only one family Sophia Kumm, the Cages, maid, frankly told Cookie Cochrane. As Darlene Brigance smugly told a secret envolving the oldest Cage daughter, Marian McConnell and Pat Fisher received the news with horror. Bob Penland, Cookie Cochrane, and Harry Dudley were also shocked. Phyllis Starnes was runner-up in the contest for Fall Festival queen. Dean Norman, last year's king crowned the new king, Richard Williams. Queen Linda Rodden was crowned by former queen Julianna Gilleland. Lynn VVally was also runner-up for queen, and Lee Trexler runner-up for king. Oueen Linda Rodden was crowned by the former queen, Julianna Cilleland. To provide funds for their many proiects, the PTA sponsored an evening of fun for young and old. This Fall Festival called for action of students, parents, and teachers. Days before the festival, voting began for a king and a queen. Each homeroom nominated several candidates, and then the work began. Each vote cost a penny, and at the end of the contest the boy and the girl with the most votes became king and queen. Practicing for the talent show was fun, and prizes were offered for the three best entries. Individual and group performances were given at the festival, after a meal was served in the cafeteria. Homemade cakes and pies were sold, also. The evening was climaxed by a sock hop in the gym. Here all the students went to dance for an hour or two, and the parents went to watch and wonder at the energy of the young. Finally, the evening came to a close, and young and old went away feeling that the Fall Festival was a success and that the PTA could carry out their planned work. .R gm,-1048fSx5' Page Forty-Four 1 MM , 4 K. wi.. ..-1' is Q 'Sf I' .4 ,fy I -Auld 1 :VI N I ' wi k lx' ' 1 f' H 4 Q55 X as' , . .

A familiar sight to North students was the friend- lv smile of Hans Achterhuis, the blond foreign ex- change student from Holland. Hans entered North late in September, coming over on the boat with Eddie Davis, the student North sent to Europe for the summer. If at first Hans found our ways strange, he did not show it, for he soon became just as much a Rebel as any student at North. His good will and friendly personalitv soon won many friends for him, and the students showed their approval of him by electing him to the superlative, Most F riendly. At North, Hans was a member of the Science Club, the French Club, and the Student Council. He participated in many programs throughout the county and at North to tell about his country. Hans will be sorely missed when he returns to Holland, not only by North students but also by his American family, the John Longs of Cornelius.

Alex Bamette, Morris Griffin, Iohn Cato, and William Blackwelder attended Boys' State. Students Enjoy Girls' And Boys' State During the first part of the summer vacation, the American Legion Auxiliaries of North Carolina send their candidates to Girls' State, which is held on the campus of WCUNC at Greensboro. These rising senior girls participate in the governmental processes of running miniature governments on a local and state level. For one week the representatives at Girls' state operate their citv, county, and state governments. forming political parties, organizing cities, and holding elections. They enter into these operations just as enthusiastically and just as determined as any political candidate enters into his race. Through these operations, the girls gain a better understanding of their own communities, and with this understanding of what is taking place, the student can become a more active citizen when he becomes an adult. Not all the time is spcnt at work, however, for interesting recreational programs and trips are planned for their entertainment. Sponsored by the American Legion, Boys, State meets on the campus of UNC in Chapel Hill each year. Rising senior boys are eligible to attend the convention. Soon after their arrival, the boys fonn political parties and begin in earnest to campaign for themselves or their favorite candidates. The boys elect campaign managers who work just as if their candidates were to take a real office. This group also learns how to run the govern- ments of their cities. counties. and state. They make a tour of Raleigh and the Capitol, where they meet the officers of the state government. XVith the knowledge gained at Boys' State, the representatives have an opportunity to talce a more active interest in politics and community affairs.

To do this requires many tests and interviews, but the main part of the competition is won through hard work and scholastic ability. Y Tish Johnston was a national winner in the English award competition. Page Fifty The National Merit Scholarship tests were given to many students, but to survive to the finalist stage was worthy of note. The students who did this took a series of tests and the competition was great. Ioan Daggy, jean Norris, jim Thompson, Morris Griffin, Paul Curley, and XVilliam Black- welder were finalists in this scholarship competi- tion. Ioan Daggy was a finalist in the Angier B. Duke scholarship competition. She also won the Betty Crocker award at North, and her essay was entered in state competition for a scholarship. She was a runner-up in the English department for her cre- ative ability and her knowledge of the English language in a national competitive test. She ranked among the final eight hundred over the nation. This award was sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of English. Tish Iohnston won an English award, gaining a first place in the nation. She was among'the top four hundred in the nation chosen from thousands of candidates. This was in the competition spon- sored by the National Council of Teachers of Eng- lish. To win this award called for competence in one's own language, ability to draw ideas from written material, and ability and originality in written composition. Morris Griffin and William Blackwelder won outstanding scholarships. Scholarships Reward Ability And Effort Another of the coveted and rewarding scholar- ships granted by a college in North Carolina is the Angier B. Duke scholarship given by Duke University. The tests are exacting and the compe- tition is stiff. Tests began early for this, and elimi- nations were made in much the same was as in other competitive scholarships. Surviving the rounds of tests and interviews were Ioan Daggy and William Blackwelder, and both went for interviews and tests in the final round of competition. William was declared a winner, and he received a grant of 34,000 over a period of four years. He must maintain a high scholastic average each year to keep the grant. Winner in the National Merit Scholarship com- petition also, William will have to make a choice between the two grants. The National Merit grant was about 81,100 each year over a four-year per- iod. Like the other grant, he will have to maintain a high scholastic average over the four years. As winner of these two excellent scholarships, William has brought honor to North and to him- self. One of the most coveted scholarships given in North Carolina is the Morehead Scholarship, which carries a grant of 85,000 over a four-year period at the University of North Carolina. The grant depends on the ability of the student to maintain a high scholastic average throughout these four years. Winning the Morehead Scholarship this year was Morris Griffin. Morris and several other students took the first test for the scholarship early in the year. When that was over, the winners in that round faced the interviewers in the district who deter- mined which of the boys would go to Chapel Hill for the final round of tests and interviews. Eddie Davis and Morris went to UNC as finalists, and Morris won the scholarship. It is an honor to Morris and to North to win in this scholarship competition. Page Fifty-One . . Eddie Davis and Bill Barnett were selected as good citizens at North. Service Is Rewarding Two boys who gave of their time and service to North were Eddie Davis and Bill Barnett. Both boys were called upon many times to do many things which they could have left undone. But that was not a trait of either of the two, for when they were asked to do a job, they did their best to do it well and on time. Eddie brought publicity to the school with his outstanding 4-H work and with the trips and of- fices that he won for this work. He held many offices at school, never shirking his duty but work- ing with a will. Eddie was the schoolis foreign exchange student, going to Germany for the summer of 1959. There he learned manv things which he brought back to the students and the community by sharing his ex- Page Fifty-Two periences in talks and panel discussions. He was a member of the debating team for two years, work- ing hard to bring honor to his school. His school years were busy in service to the school. Bill participated actively in three major sports and lettered in those three. He served in many capacities in his three years at North, serving as class president in his senior year, Bill was a steady- ing force among his classmates, lending a serene influence where it was needed, His leadership was one of thoughtfulness, never showing a' lack of stableness and sensibility. Both boys served well. They were nominated by the Seniors and a final selection was made by fac- ulty members. 'VY Sandra Godwin and Brenda Entrekin served North well. Unselfish Service Recognized To recognize two girls who have been called upon to do many things and who have responded to the call willingly, the Viking asked the students to nominate students who were outstanding in service. After these nominations were in, a com- mittee of teachers selected two from the list of girls who deserved to be honored for their service. Sandra Godwin and Brenda Entrekin were the two girls chosen. Sandra came to North in her junior year and soon adjusted to new situations and people. She was a member of the debating team, she served on various committees, and she helped where she could. During her senior year she was chair- man of the Booster Club committee which was responsible for posters and banners before each football and basketball game. She reported the school news to one of the Charlotte newspapers, appeared on several panels to represent the school, was on the publicity committee of the Student Council. and was a member of the debating team. Brenda started her service in the tenth grade at North. VVorking on various committees. typing for students and teachers, running off tests and pro- grams, she was kept busy. This year she reported the school news to one of the Charlotte newspapers, also. and served as editor of the North Star. She also served her homeroom as president and as a member of the Student Council. She was never too busy, however, to try to do all that was asked of her. Page Fifty-Three Junior - Senior Prom Big Event Excited seniorsl Tired juniors! That was the pic- ture afterthe most exciting of all the yearis events -the Iunior-Senior Prom. Responsible for the prom were the juniors. Early in the spring they formed committees, each with a specific task to complete. Meetings were held daily Y and plans were made for an evening in an Oriental setting. Overhead the crepe paper streamers formed a canopy and made the dance floor gay. Every where were cherry trees, silhouettes, fans, and other decorations lending an Oriental air. One got in the mood when entering the foyer, for there was the first evidence of the theme carried out all over the huilding. An orchestra did its part to make the prom a success, for amid all these lovely decorations and such dreamy music one could not help having a wonderful time. After Auld Lang Synei' was played and the last of the lights turned out, excited starry-eyed students drifted away to get a snack either down- town or at an individual party. - . - 1 Responsible for the decorations on the stage It WM A mght Worthlemembermg' were Howard Bennett, Ioan Daggy, and Herman Overcash. Standing on the bridge next to the cherry tree was Morris Griffin, who helped with the decora- tions. Glenda Lane, talking to him, helped also.

Sports Furnish Pleasure For Participants And Spectators Beginning in the fall, students' interests center in football. Then comes basketball, and in the spring, like tulips in a Flower garden, boys show up on the campus for baseball, tennis and track. Last year North did not have a tennis team, but with several interested students, there was a team in 1959-1960. Many activities center around the sports spon- sored by the school, and students develop many leadership qualities through these activities. Building good sportsmanship and good school spirit is a part of athletics in the school. It also results in good public relations between the com- munity and the school. At North all competitive sports are carried on by the boys, as girls competitive sports were elimi- nated several years ago. Good sportsmanship is stressed at all times, and always North has been proud of the manner in which its sports have been played.

Football Supported Enthusiastically Played in Memorial Stadium, the first game of the year brought excitement and high spirits. When the cheerleaders went onto the field to cheer the team as they ran out for the be- ginning of the game against South, everyone from North felt that this was the beginning of a good season. Certainly the occasion was a colorful one, with the boys wearing new suits, blue and white of course, with a touch of red on the shoulder for more color. Streamers were flying from the goal posts, accenting the blue and white uniforms of the cheerleaders. It was a gala occasion. Co-Captain Morris Griffin became the first North player to win the Best Sportsmanship award and the Most Valuable Player award. Rebel coaches were Mr. William Ross, IV coach, Mr. Mack Haynes, line coach, and Mr. Bryce Hurd, head coach. First Row: Alex Barnette, Hennan Overcasli, Ronnie Curry.

Winning an opening game was something that North had not done for some time, but it finally happened, as the Rebels spoiled Southis debut. Two timely North passes and two safeties account- ed for the victory. The second game ended in defeat, with the Rebs scoring only once. Barnette passed to Oehler for the touchdown and Dole converted. The third game was more exciting for the Rebs and Gastonia played three quarters with a 6-6 tie. Gastonia exploded with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Victory again!

Second Row: Mr. Everette Pigg, Coach, Bob VVallace, Ronnie Curry, Barry Hoover, Bill Bamette, Rodney Bostic, Herman Kerley, Sammy Caldwell, and Bill Kimbrough. Basketball Inspires Sportsmanship Mr. Pigg began to put his boys through rugged practice in November, after the football season. The boys worked long and hard to gain the knowledge and skill they needed to make up for lack of the two essentials- height and experience. What the boys lacked in those areas, however, was made up for in enthusiasm. They worked for victory, but they never sacrificed good sportsmanship. Never did they show a lack of good spirit when they went on the court, and their spirits were just as high in defeat as in victory. The season started with a victory and ended with a victory, but the story in between those victories was a different one. The boys were in there trying, but try as they might, they were not able to win a game. However, only two of the boys were seniors, so that should mean a better team next year. Outclassed in height and experience, but never in courtesy and good sportsmanship, North's varsity team ended the year with a 2-16 record. Hoover took a free throw after being fouled by South.

Skill Gained In Junior Varsity Basketball Beginning at the same time as the varsity team, the jV's began practice. after football season. All those who came out worked energetically to make the team, for if they could possibly make it this year, they stood a chance for varsity play next year. Competition made the boys work extra hard. Those who showed promise were allowed to keep coming out for practice, and soon the boys were ready for competitive games. Most of the IV games were played before the varsity games, but the IV's did not play as many games as the varsity. They played only 14 games, winning 5 of them. Playing as many games as possible assures more experience for the next year, so as many of the boys were put in the game as was possible. Those sitting on the bench, however, got valuable ex- perience from watching the others and listening to the coach. Butch Hough C30l came in for the rebound as Rodney Bostic tried to make two points.

Baseball Provides Fun For Rebels Many boys have always gone out for baseball at North, for it is one of the students' favorite games. Working the field over the first of the season always helps the boys get in shape, and many are the sore muscles after moving dirt around for several after- noons. Most of the games are played in the afternoon, as few of the schools have fields with lights for night games. A few faithful spectators from the community always come out to help the students jerry McGee covered the plate for a put out in the game with East. cheer the team on. From the field comes a steady stream of chatter- ing and encoraging yells, too, for the boys are en- thusiastic about the game. North's losses were indeed higher than the wins in 1959, but 1960 seemed to have brighter prospects for a winning team. But win or lose, the game goes on in much the same manner, with players and spectators looking to tomorrow for a better day. Bill Bamette was at the plate for North. 1 ' Q lr . 1: Q a f rat..

That was also the vault that won the national championship in AAU. Heath holds the state record of 12 feet 41A inches, also. At the school, Heath's low hurdle record of 20.8 is the record. He also holds the school broad jump record of 21 feet IV4 inches. Going out for track were First Row: Misenheimer, Steve Aehle, Richard Williams, Dean Norman, Pat Fisher, Jerry McArn, Ronnie Curry.

Having entered just two boys, Heath and Jeff Jones, North placed fourth in the state meet with 12 points. Ieff placed second in the state in pole vaulting. Both boys won scholarships to UNC in track. Both Heath Whittle and Jeff Iones attended the state meet with the coach, Mr. Cochran. Row: Murray Pender, Allen Padgett, jack Bradford, jeff jones, Robert Ellis, Heath Whittle. Mr. Cochran coached the track team. L N ' f Judy Barfield, Booster Club Co-Chainnang Miss Sue Adams, Adviserg and Glenda Lane, Co-Chairman, placed a huge poster in the gym. Iudy made the poster as part of her Booster Club work. Crgcmizcltions Build Leadership, Citizenship, And School Spirit Always at North there have been clubs and re- lated activities to hold the interest of the students and to help mold them into an effective student body. In early years everyone belonged to a club of some kind, and he could belong to as many as he could schedule. However, some students had no 'interest in the particular clubs offered so those students took activity period for a study hall. Each year brought a few more changes until the present student body, except for a few students, observe study period until Friday when most of the club meetings are scheduled. Some few clubs meet during the first of the week. Club work helps bring out leadership qualities, and many students find interesting hobbies from club work. Participation in club work helps one fit better into adult life also, and certainly it builds good school spirit. Page Sixty-Nin Trying to find the right statistics for the right person is trying for Carol Blade, Glenda Lane Iudy Barfield, and Meri Adams. Diane Mangle worked with this group also. Patience Required If one quality is more important than any other, many members of The Viking staff would say that would be patience. Many little details have to be looked after, and every little detail must be cor- rect before it can be used. Staff members crowd around the editor to see- how to plan a page in the yearbook. Oi Viking Staff Spelling names correctly, putting them in alpha- betical order, and attaching them to the right pic- tures are tedious work. Keeping up with pictures, especially when everyone is interested in looking at them, is a job within itself. Soliciting advertising requires all the patience one can summon. The sales started in August after members met to discuss what was to be done. Sometimes it was hot, sometimes staff members were tired of smiling at hopeful advertisers, and sometimes they were discouraged bv repeated no,s from merchants, but relentlessly they trudged on, the budget had to be met. But before school opened, all advertising had been sold. lt was a good feeling. How to get all the pictures on the page and leave enough room for copy puzzled Becky Chapman, Wookie Workman, Tish Johnston, and Meredith Osborne. Helping the typist, Shirley Creighton, check copy was Barbara Cashion. N, f Trying to fit copy into space provided in the layout was no fun Bob Penland showed Carole Ann Greene and Pat for Anna Godfrey, Tina Robinson, and Mary Ray. Fisher how to crop a picture to fit into the sports section. Preservcmce And Teamwork Also Necessary A talent for writing copy ten times on one sub- jectg humor, when one must erase every name on the page for one was omitted on the first lineg stub- born perseverance to find a lost pictureg driving spirit to meet the deadlineg and teamwork so that everything finally falls into place-all these qualities make a good yearbook staff. Themes were chosen, discarded, and a final selection was madeg the cover, its design and color hashed and rehashed, finally suited the editorg the dedication, a hard choice to make for so many were deserving, was settled upon to everyone's satisfaction. A frantic rush started to get material in, and there was just as much of a rush to get proofs back to the printer after being checked and rechecked- and then checked again. A great big smile from Marie Fisher fcenterb, who was editor of The Viking, was the result of Ronnie Vigue's report on finances. Ronnie was Business Manager, and Virginia Reames fright! was As- sistant Editor. Then the long endless wait began, bringing with it the eternal question, VVhen will the annual be herefw But the question in the mind of every staff member was, XVill the students like it?', One can only wait and hope. And thatis what itis like to produce a yearbook! Page Seventy-One . 413915 Officers of the Student Council were.Morris Griffin, Presidentg Eddie Davis, Treasurerg Tish Johnston, Secretaryg and Bill Kimbrough, vice-President. Student Council Organized nine years ago when North first opened, the Student Council has been the most ac- tive organization at the school. The membership includes the four elected officers, the presidents of all the homerooms andssome few other organi- zations, and some students who have been drawn from the student body at large. North's Student Council has no disciplinary duties at allg however, it is does make recommendations at times to the students themselves about their conduct. Most of these recommendations are con- cerning such things as the lunch line and the man- ner of getting to the cafeteria. The Student Council is a liason between the administration and the students. Since the students have the responsibility of conducting assembly, thc president of the Student Council presides over these meetings. A commit- tee of students selected by the Council is responsi- ble for the programs and the devotions in as- sembly and also the morning devotions over the public address system. Page Seventy-Two Fosters Leadership Mrs. Robert Hudgins, Chairman of the Central Council of the Seven Chapters of the DAR presented North a plaque for good citizenship. This was a gift of the National Defense Council of the National Society given in honor of Mrs. R. B. Street. Mrs. Street was the former Central Council Chair- man.

Committees Expedite Work Of Council An effective organization makes use of all the leadership and talent in it, and North's Student Council works effectively through committees who are interested in their assignments and in the school. Bulletin Boards Committee members planned in- teresting bulletin board displays for various oc- casions, such as College Day. The Social Cominittec-'s responsibility wus re- freshments for the Homecoming Dance und for the enteitlirment and refreshments alt the Sophomore party. They worked hard to plan :in enjoyable party.

Student Council Aids Students To help students make plans for work or college, the Student Council sponsored College Day and Career Day. Representatives from many colleges came to North, where students met with them, learned what the college had to offer, what the cost was, and what the chances were for job place- ment after graduation. Group meetings were held and later, those particularly interested in the col- lege met in smaller groups. Career Day was carried on in a similar manner with representatives from professional and voca- tional groups coming to the school for conferences. The students learned what was required of them in the different fields, and many of them have found careers through these conferences. To carry on work such as this required much work and planning, but under the guidance of Mrs. Christine Holbrook and Mr. Edward Horne the Student Council's success was assured. Representing the Gaston Hospital School of Nursing, Mrs. Ioan Striver gave much interesting information to Marie Fisher and Diane Mangle, who planned to enter the field of nursing. Page Seventy-Four a QQ ,xg The Chapel and Devotions Committee of the Student Council was composed of Seated: Anna Godfrey, jean Abemethy, Chairmang Carol Cochrane. Standing: Kenneth Cook, and Dean Norman. Students Accept Challenging Work To see that someone was ready for morning de- votions over the public address system and to as- sign weekly devotions for assembly was the job of the Chapel and Devotions Committee. These stu- dents planned most of their work the first of the year, but until it was actually done by the assigned group, the Committee did not rest. They were al- ways alert. Another committee that worked untiringly was the Publicity Committee. Its work was to publicize all of the activities of the school and thus foster good public relations between the school and the community. Many other committees worked for the good of the students and the teachers. The Goodwill Com- mittee reflected the compassion of the student body for those in need, and other groups worked to make North a better school. The work of the Student Council is never done. Keeping up with everything that goes on at North were Sandra Godwin and Eleanor Workman, who form the Pub- licity Committee. Sandra wrote the school news for the Charlotte News and Eleanor wrote for the Gazette. Not only did they write the news, but they kept the bulletin board up to date with articles from all the papers so that the students might be informed about what took place at North. Working on the North Star staff were jo Ann Blakely, Feature Editorg Brenda Entrekin, Editorg Sandra Honeycutt, Assistant Editorg Clyde Carrigan, Sports Editor. Sonny Washam. Exchange Editorg and Steve Washam, News Editor. North Star Keeps Keeping students and teachers well informed about the school activities was a big job for the staff members of the North Star. Many times the students saw members of the staff taking notes and getting information for their articles. The North Star is a mimeographed newspaper, published twice each month. Students on the staff are in a regular journalism class period, and it is during this period that the newspaper is made up. Reporters worked hard to get all the up-to-date in- Students Informed formation in the paper so that most of the news would be current. Sometimes the editor, Brenda Entrekin, got a scoop on news to be announced and that really made the staff hustle to get the paper out be- fore the news leaked out. They scooped the su- perlative election and some other important news, also. Mrs. Daggy was instructor forthe class. Brenda Entrelcin sold a newspaper announ- cing the superlatives to Ruth Perkins.

Key Club Builds Character Under the direction of Mr. Haynes, the North Mecklenburg Key Club enthusiastically participated in many projects throughout the year. Since the club is a service organization under the sponsorship of the Kiwanis Club, members strove to serve the school in many ways. Working against time, the Key Club gave each student a directory of all North students in time for use at Christmas for addresses. Of course telephone numbers were available also, which made the directory ap- preciated much more. To make money for their various projects, the boys parked cars at the Parade of Homes and this year, they won some money at Park Center for their ice statue, which took first place. Tish Iohnston frightl carved an angel from a block of ice. First Row: Donnie Oehler, Gary Turner, Alex Barnette, Bob Penland, Pat Fisher, VVilliam Blackwelder.

Service Keynote Of Library Club To help all the students use thc library to better advantage, to help club members to broaden their education through a study of library techniques and thus to benefit themselves for later work, and to teach its members and fellow students reading as a form of education and pleasure: these are the objectives of the Library Club. Members not only studied library science, but they put it into practice. They worked at the desk, got books ready for putting on the shelf, shelved returned books, and kept the library looking neat and attractive. ln both the North Carolina High School Library Association and the South Piedmont division of the association, the club has 100 per cent membership. The club is under the guidance of Miss Mary Richards, Librarian. Science books on loan to the library set the background for members of the Library Club.

Latin Club An outgrowth of the Latin classes, the Latin clubs meet once each month, presenting programs about Roman life, religion, government, and litera- ture. The clubs' biggest proiect was the banquet held in the cafeteria. Every detail was authentically Ro- man. evcept that banquet tables were provided. On- lv foods which might have been served in ancient Rome were served, and students were dressed in Roman costumes. Slaves,' waited upon the dining patricians. Entertainment originated from the old Roman customs or legends. A re-enactment of the death of Iulius Caesar was an example. Debating Club Each member of the debating club was in- terested in making the team, but only a few were selected, of course. To try out for the team, each member wrote a speech and presented it before judges, who selected the two teams and alternates. Carol Cochrane, Sandra Godwin, Glenda Par- ker, and jean Norris were chosen to debate in the local triangle in March.

Future Farmers Good Citizens As a part of a vocational-educational program, the Future Farmers of America develops qualities of leadership, sportsmanship, good citizenship, thrift, scholarship, and patriotism in the future farmers of the country. The North Mecklenburg Chapter is an active club. To know good seeds and ood soil, to be able to judge good dairy and bee? cattle, and to know the usefulness of a tool are important for farmers to know if they are to conduct their farms on a profitable basis. All these things are taught mem- bers of the FFA. judging teams for each of the above activities were formed and they competed with cha ters from other schools. North's FFA teams have been suc- cessful in capturing many first places in these contests. Another team that has been successful at times is the Parliamentary Procedure Team, composed of the officers of the chapter. These boys learn to conduct a public meeting, and in doing so are able to take their places in the com- munity groups. FFA members learn how to take a citizen's res- ponsibility in the community in many ways, for they have to learn to meet the public and perform in public while they are still in school. Public speaking is also a part of their training. Many of Northis members have taken a leading part in college activities, some of them holding the highest offices in student government and in classes. was ff-ev chairman of the Booster Club. danced around the cauldron. Booster Club Encourages Housing School Spirit Trying at all times to boost school spirit, the Booster Club members worked untiringly. Posters and slogans were placed in the buildings before each game. This committee was headed by Sandy Godwin. Making and selling pom-poms, and thus adding color to the games, was the job of Sandra Epperson, Elaine Caldwell, and Buddy Kerns, Bud- dy also worked to get busses to take students to out-of-town games.

Interesting programs draw many members to the club and its meetings. Serious attention is given to these programs so that they may have meaning for the students. Science Club Helps Develop Interest Varied were the programs given by the Science Club, and all members found something of interest to them during the year. At times they had a speaker appear before the group, and sometimes members worked out a program. Trips were taken to learn something about some phase of science. Most of the boys were interested in motors and related subjects, and one of the most interesting trips was taken to the Holman and Moody Company. Films pertaining to science were also shown at the weekly meetings. Under the guidance of Mr. joe Foster the Science Club strove to create an interest in science and to show developments in the field. lim Thompson listened to Mr. john Gager, of Holman and Moody, as Don Riley, Lewis Rice, Richard Carriker and other students looked on. In the Dynamics Balance Room were Jack Bradford, Richard Carriker, Charlie Knox, and Don Riley. Under the leadership of Miss Leila Johnston the club undertook several projects during the year, but one of the best was the assembly program about being students, and showing that each stu- dent should feel that at this time he is particularly called to be a student, doing his very best. so if-at ,333 1, gn Page Eighty-Three Ioan Daggy lit the candle symbolizing scholarship. National Honor Society Members of the National Honor Society strove to keep the standards set for them. Each student must maintain an average of 94 throughout the three years they are at North. Only those who have attained this average are considered, and those eligible must rank high in citizenship and charac- ter. One of the most impressive exercises in assembly was the tapping ceremony when the club takes in new members. Officers of the National Honor Society were Gaye Cook, Sec- retaryg Ioan Daggy, Vice-Presidentg Ruth Causey, Treasurerg and William Blackwelder, President. Recognizes Scholarship Each year the Honor Society sponsors a talent show among the students at North to raise money for a scholarship to a senior who writes the best composition on why he wants to go to college.

Math Club Advanced The purposes of the Advanced Math Club were to study the basic concepts of modern mathematics, including logic. set theory, and Boolean Algebra. These concepts will soon be in all mathematics books, but as yet the ideas are unfamiliar, even to many mathematics teachers. The Math Club stu- dents are up-to-date for sure! County Chorus North's members of the County Chorus join with chorus members from other schools for some performances. Under the direction of Mr. Sam Dur- rance the chorus sings at a spring festival of music.

Bus Drivers And D E Students Shoulder Responsibilities To maintain the record of safe driving that Mecklenburg County holds,ikept county school bus drivers alert. Only the most highly qualified students were eligible to drive school busses. After a thorough screening of the applicants, those surviving were given a written test. To those who proved to be most competent where knowledge of safe driving was concerned, a road test was given. Finally, a list of eligible candidates was presented to the faculty for a grade in citizen- ship. Any one receiving a grade below C was eliminated. Nortlfs drivers were responsible as well as de- pendable. Officers of the DE Club were Nan A big part of the time of the Distributive Educa- tion students was spent out of school on their re- spective jobs. To help further their knowledge of employer-employee relationships, the students band- ed themselves into the DE club. At times they joined clubs from other schools for activities. An enjoyable occasion of the club was the Bosses Banquet, where all the employers, the stu- dents, and invited guests enjoyed good fellowship and good food. This year the speaker at the ban- quet was the celebrated author, Charlotte's own Harry Colden. cy Black, Secretary, Brenda Thomas, Treasurrerg Danny Hicc, Editor and Promotion Manager, Eddie Broone, Parliamentarian, Maxwell Skinner, Historian, Max Lee Skinner, Vice-President, and Arnold Carroll, President.

In the background to the left Gary Tumer represented Little Lulu. George McEver, president, looked on in amusement. Monogram Club Creates Good Sportsmanship Eligible for membership in the Monogram Club were boys lettering in either football, basketball, baseball, track, or tennis and the managers of each sport. However, before they became full-fledged members, the boys went through three gruelling days of initiation. The students always look for- ward to this initiation, for it is fun for everyone- everyone, that is, except the candidates for the club. Promotion of good sportsmanship, encourage- ment of athletic participation, and recognition of outstanding ability in sports were the aims of the Monogram Club. The members helped out where any help was needed, especially in athletic activi- ties. In order that senior members may be given jackets, the club sponsored several projects such as selling Rebel,, license tags and selling adver- tising in the football programs. As a service to the school, the boys parked cars, worked at the con- cession stand, and sold football programs.

Page Eighty-Eight Y - Teens And Hi - Y Combine Efforts Girls interested in serving others and joining in Christian fellowship belonged to the Y-Teens, a branch of the YWCA. Meetings were held once each month, and plans for the monthis work were made then. To raise funds, the Y-Teens sold stationery with a picture of North etched on it. They also planned to sponsor a sock hop. Money raised from these projects will be used to lay a concrete sidewalk from C wing to H wing. Since serving others is a chief interest of the girls, they made stuffed animals to send to the Char- lotte Day Nursery to make happier the underpriv- ileged children there. An energetic group of boys interested in recrea- tion and good citizenship made up the Hi-Y. Aside from competing with other schools in basketball, the club helps with the YMCA Overseas Project. In county competition the Hi-Y A basketball team were champions. These boys have promised to aid the Y-Teens with the sidewalk. If the girls raise the money to buy materials, the boys will lay the sidewalk. Margaret Anne Thompson, President of the Y- Teens, made a stuffed animal to send to the day nursery, while Miss Smith showed Mary Hunter how to stitch the animals.

When there is a need, the PTA is ready to serve. Not only does it serve, it helps promote .good public relations between parents, teachers, and the community. This year the PTA set a higher budget than ever before. New books were added to the library. Space in the annual was purchased to lend a help- ing hand to that publication, and many other pro- iects were carried out. To help sophomores and their parents become acquainted with each other, the PTA gave a re- ception for them at the beginning of the year. The teachers were given a luncheon. At the close of the year the PTA honored the seniors and their parents at a reception, also. To raise money for these activities, the organi- zation sponsors the Fall Festival. They also sponsor the barbecue given in March to benefit the athletic department. . - ---ff p .ara , gk, F., Serving at the reception for the sophomores and their parent' were Mrs. R. H. Ballard and Mrs. E. P. Curry. Class meetings were always fun, and meeting to have rings delivered was more than fun. Seniors were on time for once and were anxiously awaiting Mr. Hough, the principal. Time Brought Changes Throughout the nine years since North Meck- lenburg was established. changes have brought forth progress in the number of buildings, in the number of students and teachers, in the number of students seeking further education, and in the num- ber of students receiving awards for scholastic achievement. Although each year had its similarities, there were vast differences to be noted. As North grew and was recognized, many changes were evident. Each year more scholarships are available for grad- uates who can qualify, and each year more North students win these scholarships. The percentage of students attending college has increased steadily. and better jobs are offered those who go to work upon graduation. There is an increasing awareness of the competi- tion facing the students. and their class work re- flects this awareness. Students rise to meet the challenge of a changing world.

Participating In High School Activities Exciting For Being a Sophomore at North is a very thrilling and wonderful experience. The long waiting to ex- plore this new world had finally ended, and there was exciting adventure in participating in high school activities. At first it was like being a country mouse wandering around in a big city. If we didn't watch out, we got trampled. It takes time to get ad- justed to a big city, and so it does to get used to high school. We spent our first days wandering around looking for a class, and usually ended up in the boiler room. We had to stand while seniors marched into the auditoriim, and we had sore Sophomores shoulders from all the polishing the seniors did when their rings arrived. And there were many other things which reminded us we were lowly Soohomores, but we didnit mind really. We even liked it! But there was a more serious outlook. We were given the chance to meet many new people and share many new experiences. We had the chance to pledge ourselves to something bigger and strong- er than the old. It was a challenge to succeed, to find ourselves, and to plan for the time when we would come into our own-adulthood. Yes, being a Sophomore was great! it H AA I I p A is .

Bill was a member of the Sophomore class, entering North from Derita Junior High in September. He showed a great interest in his school work and had an enthusiasm for learning. Bill was a member of the North Mecklenburg Future Farmers, a Booster Club member, and an Eagle Scout. He had many friends at North. A 'Q Choosing decorations for the prom took much thought and discussion. Officers of the class met often to plan issues to bring before the class. Carol Cochrane, Secretary, Clara Honeycutt, Treasurer, and Pat Fisher, President, looked over ideas presented in a catalog. Roger Oxidine, Vice-President, met with them most of the time, but he was absent from school on this particular day. Juniors Meet Responsibilities With Enthusiasm Not until that first day of school in September did the juniors realize that they were members of a class which had to meet many responsibilities. No longer could they merely observe the preparations for the Iunior play, for they had become participants in it. January Thaw, presented just before the Christmas holidays, was a successful portrayal of a family fighting for its home. College Day and Career Day took on more mean- ing, for the juniors realized that decisions must be made in the coming year. Courses were chosen with a purpose in mind, and getting the most from each class was each student's aim. More, the juniors visited the guidance depart- ment to confer about college requirements, costs, and standards. There were questions to be asked. about professions and careers as juniors went about their preparations for college and work. The Junior-Senior Prom, one of the most antici- pated events of the year, was carefully planned by the class and given on April 8. Many long hours of work and planning had gone into making this a long-to-be-remembered occasion. Funds from the play were used to help finance it, and profits from the Christmas card sales helped meet the expenses. The Juniors did themselves proud and were to be congratulated for making possible such a prom. Yes, there was much work to be done in the junior class, but with the cooperation of the entire class work turned into play, and everyone had fun being a Junior. Page One Hundred One Page One Hundred T Pat Fisher, President of the Junior Class, congratulated Sam Carpenter, who won ten dollars for selling the most Christmas cards. jean Stroup won fiveg and Mary Mullis, three. The profit from these sales helped finance the Iunior-Senior Prom, which was held at Radio Center in Charlotte. Mary F.

Allen Padgett, Vice-Presidcntg Peggy Drake, Secre- taryg Brenda Entrekin, Treasurerg and Bill Barnett, President of the Senior Class, checked the books so that they might begin thinking about a gift to the school and other activities which had to bt financed by the class. SENIORS ABE CI-IALLENGED BY NEW VISTAS Years of dreaming were behind us, but we had never fully realized just what being a senior meant. In our two earlier years in senior high we had thought little of the responsibilities, the challenges, and the privileges that were ours. Suddenly, how- ever. the realization that only nine short months ' were left to do all that had to be done caused us to appraise our accomplishments, our ambitions, and our attitudes. Procrastination was no longer possible . . . we would have to crowd into those few months all that we could to help us make the right decisions. Going to college or entering one's chosen vocation called for serious preparation, so with a purpose seniors set to work. But all was not textbooks and toil to make good grades. Fun we had had and friendships we had shared left lasting memories . . . treasured mem- ories. never to be forgotten . . . that first day as a senior .... the pride and excitement as class rings were given out . . . assembly with under classmen standing while seniors marched in . . . How we had looked forward to all these things! Then there was the fun of the New York-NVash- ington trip, sock hops in the gym, the last home- coming dance. the election of superlatives, and other activities which took on more importance because these would be our last with friends we had had for so long. There would never be another time like this! Graduation and all that it meant was anticipated with mixed emotions. Time had brought its change in our lives . . . and it had brought us to a begining which we could face with courage and hope. KYL- shall always remember with pride and fondness our Alma Mater and those who helped give us the experiences which developed initiative and courage to face the future with a will to make the most of it. i'Lift your IICIIIIS and raise your voices, Clear across the .skyg Now fo theee, our Alma Mater, Hail fo old NORTH HIGH?

To be a winner one must be out- standing in citizenship, giving of himself unselfish- ly. In 1959 janice gave of her time beyond that which was expected to serve the school. She was in charge of doughnut sales which aided the foreign exchange program and helped send Miss Patsy Harmon, the French teacher, to France for a summeris study. Being a conscientious student, Janice served in or- ganizations with a purpose and a spirit that inspired others. STUDENT OF THE YEAR Each month at North, students who have been outstanding are nominated for a Student-of-the- Month award. A committee of students picked at random from the student body at large discuss the nominations and choose one person who will receive the award. At the close of the school year, a student is selected as the Student-of-the-Year from the month- ly nominations. In 1959 Lawrence Kimbrough, who was president of the Student Council, played foot- ball, was an active member of the Monogram Club, served as class and homeroom officer, and who served on school committees, received this award. LAWRENCE KIMBROUCH VIKING AWARD To recognize outstanding service to the school is the purpose of the Viking award. Such service was rendered by Emest Curry, who worked faithfully for the good of the school without expecting recog- nition. Serving in many capacities, he participated in sports, worked especially with programs for the Monogram Club, and tackled every project with enthusiasm and diligence. Page One Hundred Thirty-Three AWARDS - 1959 Each year at the Class Day program awards are made to those students who are outstanding in academic work. At times it is difficult to select one person for an award, hut those who are chosen have proyed themselves in the subject field and in charac- ter.

THE STAFF APPRECIATES ASSISTANCE GIVEN BY BUSINESS FIRMS In order that they might learn the selling tech- niques xvhieh proved most fruitful, the Viking Staff met at Marie Fisher's home early in August. Here they planned their ad soliciting campaign. Through the summer heat they worked, pounding sidewalks, talking themselves hoarse--sometimes tired, sometimes depressed, but never defeated, al- ways smiling. By the time school had started, the staff had almost sold enough ads to meet the budget for the year. Moreover, they did not miss any classes, but devoted their afternoons and weekends to finish- ing up the sales campaign. In the fall, lines of students reached into thc hall from C-5, where subscriptions for the yearbook were being taken. As usual the student body sup- ported the staff by their splendid cooperation. The entire budget could then be met. How happy the business staff wasl To those firms that realize the importance of the yearbook in forming better relations between school and community, the staff members express their deep appreciation. XVithout the interest expressed through these advertisements, our yearbook could not be published. XVe also appreciate the support of the students who subscribed to the annual, for this support is just important as that of the ad- vertiser. To each of you go our thanks.
