Never, We are sure, did our found- ing fathers in their dream of independence and growth, envision the immensity of what their dreams would produce. But dream they did, and work their dream they didg thus, North Mecklenburg Rebels have as theirs one of the greatest traditions possible. When Iohn McKnitt Alexander wrote in his will, In the name of God, Amen! . . . I, John McKnitt Alexander . . . will, give, bequeath, entrust, and convey to . . . he and others like him gave, not only to his descendants 15. but to all those that might come later to dwell in this great county of Mecklenburg, a heritage that cannot be surpassed. A love of independence, but a spirit of eo- operationg a willingness to work, but time to be a friend, a spirit of devotion to right, yet tempered with an under- standing heart, a pride in our land, but a feeling of humility also: this is the legacy that is ours, every North Mecklenburgefs. Not only is it ours, but to every American belongs the same heritage. Yes, weive a story to tell - THE NORTH MECK- LENBURG STORY. gs , - '- 431 f if f .gfgyj 1' 1 -V 714 4 Q ffrj- 4549! ,L f, f, wr ,f , X P k , fy 1 . 'f77f T s. f ' .Q V 1 , 'D .g it -.,..

VVhere do you get NORTH REBELS? That,s really a jokeli' These comments about North,s name were frequently heard when North Mecklenburg was first organized and are still sometimes thrown at students and teachers. Nevertheless, no school has more right to the name REBELS than North Mecklenburg High School. Why? Because in no section of county, state, or country could one have found more of a spirit of rebellion against that which was tyrannical or unjust than our North Meck- lenburg settlers showed. The very land on which the school is located belonged to one of the true Rebels of the Revolutionary period, john McKnitt Alexander. Moreover, many of Northis students can date their They came into Mecklenburg in the middle of the eighteenth century. They raised sturdy houses of hewn peeled pine, hickory, oak, or ash logs. They lived lives centered almost entirely about their farms, raising all food and making their own clothing. They reared large families. They were hardy people - those who invaded the wilderness seeking a better' life for themselves and their families in a free land. Yet their spirits went un- daunted, and as they plowed and sowed, they dreamed of independence and dared to think they could challenge the authority in England. They were determined to live, work, and worship in a free land. These settlers had great courage, a stamina that would not yield and much faith. They were willing and eager to work and create and build. A voice from the wilderness, that of Alexander Craighead, the first pastor to settle in this vast region, inspired and inflamed the spirit of the people - a people who shared his will to be free. His congregations at Sugaw Creek and Rocky River Presbyterian Churches felt the spirit of the man who taught them never to yield to tyranny. He helped to stiffen the wills of the people to be free, to be Cod-loving people who desired a land free of religious and political dictatorship. Truly Craighead was the flaming evangel of freedom. Although he died two years after he came to Meck- lenburg, it was under the influence of his powerfully inspiring spirit that Mecklenburg patriots would be among the first in America to challenge an uncompre- hending and an uncompromising government. Conditions in the colonies had grown worse and everywhere men were chafing under the harsh treat- ment of the British government. In the spring of 1775 ancestry directly back to those who took part in the rebellion against tyranny. For instance, there are many students who are direct descendants of j. McKnitt Alex- ander, Qne a direct descendant of the Widow Wilson who saved the life of joe Graham, who was later to figure prominently in Mecklenburg history. The David- son family has been represented, in fact, the great-grand- father of one of the teachers, Miss Leila johnston, was Independence Benn Davidson. There are other reasons - Cowanis Ford history, Beatties Ford action, and many other such sites of Revo- lutionary action - that make North Mecklenburg the seat of rebellious action against unjust treatment. But the story is getting ahead of itself. Let,s go back to the beginning. a group of leaders met at Alexandriana, home of john McKnitt Alexander, three miles east of Hopewell Church Cnow known as Croftj to consider the alarming situ- ation. Here plans were probably made that should con- ditions become alarming enough to warrant the holding of a county-wide meeting, then Colonel Thomas Polk as commander of the county militia would be empowered to call such a convention. Conditions did not improve. In Mecklenburg, Col- onel Polk acted and sent out notices instructing the citizens to elect two delegates from each militia district. These delegates were to assemble on May I9 at the court house in Charlottetown. This they did with enthusiasm. Abraham Alexander was made chairman and McKnitt Alexander secretary. A committee was named to draw up a document for the conventionis consideration. Members were Doctor Ephraim Brevard, a Queens faculty member, Rev. Heze- kiah Balch, pastor of Poplar Tent, and VVilliam Kennon, a lawyer from Salisbury. Brevard and Balch, along with other leaders, had been meeting at Queens Museum and Alexandriana in the months before and were probably prepared for such a request. More than fifty years later john Davidsonis certifi- cate declared that after organizing for business a mo- tion was made to declare themselves free from the Crown of Great Britain. The motion was carried by a large majority. Dr. Brevard was then appointed to give the convention a sketch of the Declaration of Independence, which he did. This would indicate that independence was declared before the declaration text was offered. However, the procedure might have been, there is no doubt in the minds of North Mecklenburg people that there was a Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. 7 ft 'x as f we g?JffO7ffff f f?,,,f7 'te fl 1 Xfffffl f77 f in-E7 If iii' -5 t x EU- L ' un Cf IBN' i f bfi ? ffxw l .MA aa if N --RN .qfrx kfpygjh ,N J ' - ' if , 1,Wf1cfTQ X 'NX ,J fs . ,vb -...

Let someone prove conclusively there was NOT a declaration, and then Mecklenburgers will believe there was not one. But until someone can come along with positive proof, as much as there is positive proof there definitely WAS one, Mecklenburg will steadfastly believe in their declaration. At this meeting news was received that the British had fired on Americans at Lexington in the Massa- chusetts colony. Mecklenburg people were incensed. They abandoned all caution and declared they were ready to challenge British authority. However, a system of government to replace British rule should not be formed in haste, it should be done only after study and deliberation. The date for the next meeting was set for May 31, 1775. Efforts were being made to organize an efficient military force in the province and Mecklenburg was fully represented both in leadership and troops provided. Camp Alexander, where General Davidson trained his raw recruits, is near the present site of North High. The war moved southward from New England and Pennsylvania to Charlestownis Low Country. Three weeks after Charlestown fell and the British started toward the NVaxhaw settlements, 900 militiamen were assembled in Charlotte. They were told to be ready B when the call came. It was not long coming. In June the militia assem- bled in Mallard Creek, east of Alexandriana. Major William R. Davie took charge of the cavalry, Colonel William Lee Davidson, the infantry. General Davidson and Davie were determined to make the Bedcoats pay dearly for every mile of ad- vance into North Carolina. Employing guerrilla tactics, they swept down upon detached groups, harassed for- aging parties, and at the same time kept an eye on the advancing main body. But these small victories could do nothing more than delay the arrival of the British in Charlottetown. Five years after the Mecklenburgers had issued their defiant declaration, the British entered Charlotte- town. Cornwallis thought that many people in Mecklen- burg would come flocking to him to seek the protection of the Boyalists. However, he completely misunderstood the spirit of the people in Mecklenburg, they were not to be intimidated. Cornwallis had been in Charlotte one week. Al- ready his supplies were dwindling. British foraging par- ties were so harassed by the straight-shooting Mecklen- burgers that Cornwallis had been forced to send out large detachments in search of supplies. On Tuesday, tOctober 3 or -il Cornwallis dispatched several hundred men up the twisting road toward Hope- well. Their duty was to fill approximately sixty wagons with supplies taken from the farms of the people along Beatties Ford Road. By the time the British reached McIntyre's farm, some dozen farm boys had hidden in the woods surrounding the farm, NVhen the British ar- rived, the Mecklenburg boys waited until they had dis- mounted and started their search for supplies and then began to fire on them. The British were so confused that in the skirmish that followed they upset some bee hives. The bees swarmed from the hives and together with the farm boys, they routed the British. The story is told that they left in such a hurry to get back to Charlottetown and safety that some of their horses dropped dead in the street from exhaustion. Truly Corn- wallis had found a hornet's nest, not only in the bee hives, but in the spirit of the North Mecklenburg farmers. On the Saturday following this skirmish at the Beat- ties Ford Road farmhouse, however, disaster overtook the British invaders of the back country. This was the Battle of Kings Mountain. General Davidson was joyous over such news. Many historians regard the victory at Kings Mountain as the turning point of the war. Because American militiamen had been so effective in disrupting communication between Cornwallis and Ferguson, it was perhaps several days before the British Commander in Charlottetown learned of the catastrophe at Kings Mountain. It was staggering news. Already the British were in a most difficult position. Food was be- coming scarce and hard to obtaing many of the men were ill, worst of all, perhaps, Cornwallis was isolated in the region of a desperately hostile people. Little Char- lottetown, his Lordship had found, was indeed 'can agreeable village, but in a damned rebellious country. Tarleton had been correct in describing it as a hornets' nest. Cornwallis began evacuating Charlottetown. mov- ing back into South Carolina. After action in the Pee Dee region in South Caro- lina, Cornwallis, on Monday, Ianuary 31. moved to get across the Catawba with a minimum number of casual- ties and as quickly as possible. He made a move to indi- cate he was planning to cross at Beatties Ford by send- ing a detachment of Bedcoats to force a passage there. But at one o,clock on the morning of February l, he would march down the river to Cowanss Ford, where he planned his major drive to cross the stream. General Davidson inspected his troops at Camp Alexander, czeross the lziglzway from the present site of North Mecklerilmrg. J. ,. s 111.9 ' Q -A we - ff Xp -L si .Q VTX' K s v 2' gl T X . ' ,Ii .

Under Joe Graham and Colonel Polk a company set out for Cowanis Ford. Graham was to keep a patrol on the move to.see that the British did not make a surprise crossing under cover of darkness. Toward nightfall Davidson himself led a detachment to Cowanis Ford and set up camp a half mile or so back from the river, but he assigned pickets to watch from the water's edge at the Cowanis crossing point. At one o'clock in the morning the British general began his march to the river, which was reached after much difficulty and the loss of some of their cannon. But instead of going to Beatties Ford, which his actions there during the day had indicated he would try to force, he moved down the river to Cowan's. Davidson feared that Tarleton's troops would get behind him, from which position they could attack him as the British infantry began its crossing. So he stayed well back from the river bank opposite the point where the horse ford emerged on the Mecklenburg side. Mean- while, the pickets huddled on the bank near the wagon ford. Instead of taking the horse ford as had been ex- pected, Cornwallis, on reaching the river, hardly hesi- tated at the swollen stream and began crossing along the wagon ford. They were led by a Tory who lived in the vicinity. The American pickets had fallen asleep on the eastern bank, but the noise of the crossing awak- ened them and they began to fire on the Redcoats. Their firing brought General Davidson and his men racing toward the wagon ford. For a few minutes the action was lively, the militiamen were picking off many Britishers struggling in the water. The return fire was heavy, and hardly had Davidson arrived when he was struck from his horse. In a few minutes several other Americans were killed. The British loss was greater, but the skirmish proved a defeat for the Americans. Their resistance hardly slowed Cornwallisis advance. It would be recorded, however, as the last battle with an invader on Mecklenburg soil. And in the fall, on October 19, Cornwallis would surrender at Yorktown. General Davidson had been killed by a rifle ball through the heart. Tradition persists that the Tory lead- ing Cornwallis across Cowan's Ford was Davidsonis slayer. General Davidson, an amazingly successful or- ganizer, had been the driving force of the area,s re- sistance. His death was a great blow. Late that evening the Generalis body was found by David XVilson, Major john Davidson. and others. They took it to the home of David's widowed step- mother, Mrs. Samuel YVilson. That night by torchlight, with Pastor Mc-Caule conducting the brief service and with Mary Brevard Davidson standing stalwart beside the red clay grave, XVilliam Lee Davidson was buried in Hopewell churchyard. YVith independence so boldly proclaimed in 1775, securely established by 1781, Mecklenburgers were free to contribute their energies to the peaceful pursuits of building a nation. They repaired the little court house in Charlottetown, they undertook to build new school- houses or give added support to those already started in such communities as Sugaw Creek, Hopewell, and others, and they began to increase materially their crops of small grain, corn, and cotton. Mecklenburg citizens were beginning to put the emphasis on looking to the future potentialities as well as to the past,s accomplishments. Charlotte and Meck- lenburg County were building the background for their emergence into a position of leadership and a place of top-most rank. North Mecklenburg community had a great story in her early daysg she has a tremendous story right now, and the coming years should provide an even greater one. The hard core of that hard-headed, independent, industrious, determined citizenship that was the North Mecklenburger of 1775 has come right down through the generations.

Interested observers were Tommy Blythe and Anita Dresser ADMI ISTRATIO DCGUR EOF TUDY Our founding fathers were interested in the edu- cation of their children even when they had no money for school houses or teachers. Often the parents were the teachers, but then there came the small church schools, and in the North Mecklenburg area an acad- emy was founded at Sugaw Creek and taught by Craig- head. Other academies were founded throughout the communities. It used to be said by the teacher when hunting a school, You furnish the boy and the book, and I will furnish the hickory. But leadership was evidenced in other ways also. Now the times have changed - but the leadership of a community, as well as the school, can often be found in the teachers. In the interest of the student, 'officials and teachers seek to enlarge the curriculum so that the student will be able to take a modern approach to a subject. Many extra-curricular activities, which enrich the life of the student, are sponsored by faculty mem- bers. Many hours and much effort are spent to en- courage growth in character, leadership. and citizenship.

Faculty Provides Guidance And Leadership Faculty members, as well as the student body at North Mecklenburg High School, have long beenx known for their leadership ability. XVith an intense interest in the welfare of each student, the faculty sought to have each student work to his full capacity and to find him- self and his place in society. Moreover, they strive to keep alert to new pro- cedures and new courses that could be used to prepare the students for the future. They worked with the stu- dents in many extra-curricular activities, all of which helped to broaden the students, interests. Through the training by an energetic faculty and students who were interested in their own well-being, it is no wonder that North is known as the Home of College Presidentsf meaning that many North students have been elected to Students Council and Class presi- dencies during their college years. An official interested in Junior Achievement was amused at an announcement made by Mr. Hough at assembly.

Steady Growth And Progress Indicative Of Mecklenburg Schools Superintendents and the Charlotte - Mecklenburg Board of Education strove to make the consolidated sys- tem one of the best. Under the guidance of these people, supervisors, and interested laymen, a Steering Committee was formed. These Committee members, Working through sub- committees scarchetl thoroughly into the problems of the schools and the curriculum and made suggestions for improvements. Some of these suggestions have been carried outg but not satisfied that the job was near com- 16 pletion, committees continued to Work this year to im- prove and add to what had already been done. VVith such an ardent interest there is no limit to what can be done to further the progress and growth of the schools.

Courses In Business Education Offered To Many Most girls who are not planning to go to college do plan to work. This is the student who gets the most benefit from the commercial courses. Several subjects are offered and many students take most of them either in the junior or the senior year. Typing I and II are offered. Typing courses are popular among college- bound students also, for they know there is a need for typing in college. Shorthand I and II are also offered. For those who wish to go even further, there is book- keeping, office machines and filing, and secretarial prac- tice. Students should keep in mind that an average of at least 80 in English is required before a student may take Shorthand I. Before taking Shorthand II, a student must have an average of at least 80 on English and Shorthand I. No student can successfully pass either of these courses unless he has a good foundation in English, and success in Shorthand II naturally depends on a good foundation in the subject.

Never before has there been such a need for well trained scientists in almost every field, hence there is an excellent opportunity for the student who is interested. If he has the interest and the ability, there is no limit as to ,what he can do. Biology is required of all students for graduation and is offered to every sophomore. Chemistry and physics are also offered in order to encourage the stu- dent to take advanced work and to prepare him for college. Students are encouraged to work on their own. Helping to increase the interest in the science de- partment are the Science Club and the annual Science Fair. Keeping up with the world in which we live is furthered by the knowledge gained through the science courses. MRS. MARIAN COCHRAN Having received her B.S. degree at Marshall College, Mrs. Coch- ran also attended Woman's College and the University of Mary- land. She teaches biology and business math.

Drivers Education Helps Build Safe Drivers Because of the number of highway accidents, the North Carolina Legislature passed a bill to put Driver Education into the school curriculum. Each person who purchases an automobile license plate is charged one dollar extrato pay for this additional course. North is fortunate to have the facilities for such a course. It is set up in accordance with thc state re- quirements and works in conjunction with the physical education department. For the first six weeks of the J J school term, sophomore phys. ed. students receive class- room training through which they learn the parts of a car, the rules of the road, and many other things of value to them when they begin driving. Sometime during the year each member that has taken the classroom training receives two weeks of Munder-the-wheelv training in a dual-controlled car. Be- cause of this careful training perhaps many accidents may be avoided.

Riding School Bus-Daily Experience For North Students Father says, When I was a child I had to walk ten miles in the rain and the snow to get to schoolv, how- ever, that can never be said by his sons and daughters, for they ride modern buses to school and back each day. Rising early enough to catch the bus is a chore for some of the students for many travel twenty to thirty miles each day and must leave home early. But once on the bus one cannot sleep, for there are always the eager beavers who must keep up a constant chattering and noise making. Some try to study that homework that they did not get the night before, but the bus is a poor place to do that. 30 It would seem that the bus is merely a place of commotion and noise, but that is not true. Drivers have to give their attention to the safe driving of the bus, and if students get too noisy, they are asked to get quiet. For those that refuse there is a trip to see the principal. Riding the bus is quite a part of a student's life - one he feels he could do without sometimes, but never- theless a necessity for most of them. iq, .lA NVith the sound of the bell to end class fading away, the students have to rush to get to the ncxt class on time or to get to the cafeteria so they will not be last in the hmch line. Everyday Activities Not Connected With Classes Enjoyed Many of the things that happen at school outside the class periods are also a part of the school day. Rush- ing to lockers, trying to find a place to put books while one goes to lunch, forgetting to buy note paper and having to rush to the school store before the bell rings, and just standing in the hall chatting are some of these activities that help make up the day. NVorking in the school store is fun for some of the commercial students, for there they get to meet and know most of the students at school. They render a service to the school, and also to the students. The store is open before school and during both lunch periods. Here one may obtain the necessary tools for doing oneis class and homework. 'H During lunch period Janice Ussery and Mary Alexander were caught by the photographer as they served Linda Purser and Jane Hoke. l 31 Among other duties, Mrs. Fran- ces Beard, manager of the school cafeteria, prepared a certain num- ber of menus for the county office. Cafeteria Staff Alert To Students' Physical Needs c'Get that meat into the oven! Those potatoes havenit been peeled, have they? Is that cake iced yet?,' These are a few snatches of conversation that might be heard coming from the cafeteria on any busy morning, as Northis cafeteria staff prepared well-balanced and appetizing meals. They served approximately 700 stu- dents each day, and sometime this could he a hard and thankless task. However, they did an efficient job with- out complaint. Cheerfully preparing and serving meals each day were fhaclc row? Mrs. Elsie Deaton, Mrs. Helen Rivens, Mrs. Rosetta VVhite, Cfront rowj Mrs. Evelyn Burris, Mrs. Gladys Bostic, and Mrs. Dessie Barkley. -.41 As well as a time to satisfy appetites, lunch time offered one of the few times during the day when students could meet and talk and have fun. 32 '- e -:. 'f 'rv ' gf-via-f F v f .I Each morning before students and teachers ar- rived at school, Mr. Deaton opened the school doors. Then began a full day of sweeping each classroom, keep- ing facilities clean, and running a mop over the hall floors after each class and each lunch period. Wfaste- baskets were to be emptied and classrooms dusted, too. The men on the janitorial staff and the custodian were responsible for the grounds and kept the grass cut and the shrubbery weeded. There was much to be done, so no one could shirk his duty. They Worked together well. Mr. Hugh Deaton, Custodian, directed the janitorial staff in their duties, Mr. Deaton was an avid fan at all Nortlfs athletic events, and one could hear his voice above all others. especially when he didu't agree with the officials.

ORGA IZATIONS Queens Museum became the seedbed of revolution, for it was within the walls of this small school and at Alexandriana that Mecklenburg leaders would frequently meet to discuss the darkening situation of the colonies and what the Carolina's back country would do about it. From these meetings grew the efficient leadership that would lead them through the revolution. The militia met to drill and make plans, and through strong leaders they were able to carry on when everything seemed lost. Organizations have their place in any community, and North has found that organizations give an oppor- tunity for more students to develop leadership and a spirit of cooperation. Clubs are planned to co-ordinate a student's outside interests with the school workg so much is gained from being a participant in these organi- zations. They prove successful for both students and school. , v ,, ' E99 'ali' . , ' ai 'H Classes and the Administration divisions required ut- most care to see that all statistics were correct.

W H- .....-, , , V .. .--frm.:-----v Using the two-hundredth birthday of Mecklenburg County as the occasion to set the theme, THE NORTH MECKLENBURC STORY, the Viking staff began to plan what they hoped would be the best edition of the Viking ever published. Such an undertaking was an ambitious one, but the staff felt the opportunity was too great to ignore. VVhere to begin? XVhat materials to use? How to present the theme? Oh, there were dozens of questions. But when Mr. Kenneth YVhitsett volunteered to draw the illustrations and Mr. Legette Blythe offered the galley of his new history even before it was published, plans began to take form. It was a proud staff that searched into the great history that is the heritage of every North Mecklenburger. Recording Northis history and pleasing the students at the same time are aims of the Viking staffg however, amid all this, members strive to practice good journalistic reporting in both copy and pictures. The 1961 Viking received a first place in judging at Columbia University and a B plus from NSYA in Missouri. This was good, but the '62 staff strove to do better. Enthusiastic about the central idea, the staff asked the cooperation of the students to help publish a 9x12 annual for the first time at North. They were willing to help. The staff spent many hours in planning each section. Deadlines came - some were met and some tal' riff .v Looking over the dummy was pleasant when everyone had his plans worked out. Co-Editors Martha Ashcraft and Barbara Hef- ner were pleased that someone had been at work. were not - but the work went on. It was a great day when the Viking went to press, but an even greater one when the staff was able to distribute them to the student body. Then, and only then, could they breathe a sigh of relief and be proud of their efforts. Responsible for work on the clubs section were Martha Ashcraft, Tommy Benfield, Patsy Shoemaker, Photographer Mike Norris, and janet Carpenter.

Then the chairman has the whole summer to plan the activities to be carried out by his committee. Keeping in mind some of the aims of the Student Council, one of which is to foster a closer student-faculty relationship and also a closer relationship with other schools, each committee member tries to make the work of the council more effective. Some of the projects this year included the Sopho- more Sock Hop, a toy and clothing drive at Christmas, and a Valentine dance to raise money to buy warmups for the basketball team.

Ye Olde Spirit Shoppe was set up in the foyer before school and during lunch periods to sell pom-poms, tags, Rebel buttons, and badges. Working after school before each game, posters and signs were made and placed in the halls, goal posts were decorated, huge signs made and put up in the stadium, and sections were marked for cheering. Homecoming was largely the responsibility of the Booster Committee as they planned for the homeroom exhibits, carried out the presentation of the Sponsors, conducted the election of the Homecoming Queen, and planned for the Coronation ceremonies. They also planned a dance, an Old South Ball, for spring. On the day of the Homecoming game, the Booster Committee sold chrysanthemums to the students. The day was designated as Blue and WVhite Day, and the white ,mums with a blue ribbon added to the occasion. It was a great day for North. 41 lil... ......,...,..w..,....a.-.,,....,....,w. .

Each year there are several applicants for this trip to some far-away place, and this year was no different. Applying for the privilege of repre- senting North were Phyllis Wagner, Bobby Beaver, Jane Bates, Zoe Hough, and Allen Shepard. Rated as one of the most active of the Student Council Committees, the AFS Committee is now biding its time waiting to hear from the national office as to which applicant will be chosen to participate in the summer program, - Americans Abroad. North Meck- lenburg has participated in the winter program or the School Program. This year Dagmar Tauber is at North for a year under the school program. Three North students are still in competition to be chosen to spend this coming summer in a home abroad as a teenage ambassador of the United States. It is the hope of the students that one of these - Zoe Hough, Jane Bates, and Phyllis Wagner - will be chosen to go. The AFS Committee Works with the American Field Service, a private, non-profit educational organization, whose purpose is the furthering of understanding and good will among the peoples of the World. It carries out this purpose by bringing teenage students from abroad to study in American high schools and to live in American families and communities for a year. It also sends American teenagers abroad to live with families and to be a part of a foreign community. Getting To Know Each Other Well Brings About Friendships Q 'X Some of the members of the AFS Commit- tee were Phyllis VVagner, Dagmar Tauber, an exchange student from Germany, Margaret Bourdeaux, and Mimy Martin, in whose home Dagmar is living during her stay at North. Choosing the applicants from all those who apply to represent North in competition in the national office of the American Field Service is no light responsibility. Members of the fac- ulty and representatives from the community form this group, which is composed of Mrs. Estelle Mott, Mrs. Patsy Troutman, Dr. L. K. Boggs, Mr. Bryce Hurd, Mrs. W. C.

Such a committee is the Social Committee composed of Rudy Ferguson, Phyllis NVagner, Jane Bates, VVally Barnette, who is the chairman of the group, and Donna Sellers. Social Activities Important To School Life Placing table decorations in just the right spot, stringing balloons from Wires overhead, and seeing that refreshments are plentiful are commonplace duties for the Social Committee. Headed by Wally Barnette, the Committee planned the Sophomore Sock Hop, which was the highlight of the fall festivities for the incoming Sophomores. VVelcoming each member of the class were posters, and refreshments were set up in the lobby of the gym, Where the sock hop was held. Most of the Sophomores came, participated, and had fun. Perhaps the most responsible job of the Social Com- mittee was the Homecoming dance, when all the gradu- ates came back and had fun with the present students. Everything had to be just right, and it was. Dancing to the music of an orchestra, some members of which were former North graduates, everyone had fun. And new for the committee this year was the planning of the Valentine Sock Hop. It was also a success and many students thought it was the most enjoyable of any of the social events planned by the Student Council. Yes, a Social Committee is important to any school. Dancing to ucannedu music, the Sophomores had fun together. 5WWlt HW1?tW l Z'-1 U- . in A svn-3.ttgQ5qy1. Seeing that the news of the school was sent in to the local news- papers was the duty of the members of the Publicity Committee, composed of Jackie Comfort, Billie Jean Mc-Keown, Anne Marie Osborne, Bennett Setzer, and Joe Lowman. if 4 One of the duties of the House and Grounds Committee, made up of William Smith and Cameron Coleman, was to set up the public address system for devotions and announcements, Students Christine Porter and Nelson Perry took their turn doing morning devotions. School Publicity Important To Students And Community To make publicly known the activities of North is the purpose of the House and Grounds, Publicity, and Handbook Committees. These committees realize that the more one knows about the school the better one understands what the school is trying to do. HOUSE and GROUNDS is responsible for making the students aware of coming events, changes in sched- ule, and many other such things. PUBLICITY lets the general public know what has happened and what is planned at the school. SCRAPBOOK is responsible for keeping the history of the school for a given year by means of newspaper clippingsg hut most important is the work on the handbook, which is given to each Sophomore and each new student. This is the guide and pattern for his year at North. Keeping a scrapbook of all the clippings pertaining to the school and its activities was interesting for Ginger Puckett and Margaret Bourdeaux, chairman. 44 It was very gratifying to members of the Student Council and its sponsor, Mr. Taron jones, to hear stu- dents say they had found the answers to many of their questions concerning college. Representatives from ap- proximately thirty eolleges came to North on College Day to talk to juniors and seniors about their college - , .. . . - . - S 'ff M-nuke, H Q i't requirements and the courses offered rn particular fields. ' 4'-rw 7 Students asked many questions of these representa- A tives, and after the three general discussion periods of forty-five minutes each, students talked individually with the representative of the college in which he was par- ticularly interested. Did the college put much stress on engineering courses? XVas there a chance for a work scholarship? Could a student major in music at this college? And so the question and answer period went. Other questions were answered in the literature given to interested students, but there was nothing to equal the direct approach. Students were inspired to think more intently about college, and the Student Coun- cil felt that its many hours of planning had been worth Cameron Coleman questioned Dr. Ruth, of Catawba College, about the advantages offered by Catawba. while. gvig in a trrr fi Us Although many of the College Day plans were carried out by other mem- bers of the Student Council, the Hos- pitality Committee greeted the repre- sentatives, served coffee and doughnuts to them before the sessions began, and with other students guided them to their general meetings. Such is the work of the Committee. Zoe Hough, chairman of the Hospitality Committee, Howard Mc-Coy, and Nelson Perry greet Dagmar Tauber, exchange student from Cermany. Enjoying coffee and doughnuts were Mr. Robert Hopkins CMars Hill Collegeb, Barbara Blythe Ca North Cuidej, Miss Carolyn Griffin CErskine Collegel, and Dr. Earl Ruth CCatawba Collegcj. Standing ready to help were Donelle Ranson, Corinne Dotger, and Patsy Hoke, North Cuides. 45 ,v ' Drawing cartoons and setting headlines called for using the mimeoscope.

New members CSEATEDJ were Jimmy Poole, Davis Crater, Currie Johnston, Zoe Hough, Isla Vance, Cherry Wagstaff, Reita Pendry, Corinne Dotger, and Tommy Benfield. High Principles Stressed By National Honor Society Membership in the National Honor Society is at- tained by those juniors and seniors who excel in scho- lastic achievement, citizenship, character, service, and leadership. Their aim must be to keep standards high, to be of service to the school, and to strive for self- improvement. Each year the Honor Society gives a fifty-dollar scholarship to some qualified senior. To raise money for this, members carry out such projects as sock hops. Programs of the Society were centered around the arts and culture of America. To further their study in this field, members attended a performance of A M ifl.S'lll7H7l67' Nightis Dream. To make activities meaningful and in- teresting, other such programs were planned by the members and their adviser, Mrs. Patsy Troutman. New members tapped in November were KSEATEDJ Mimy Martin, Marsha Miller, Catherine Seay, Ginger Puckett, Johnny Blackmon, and Judy Stancil. Other members were Suzy Daggy, I --sq Officers of the Honor Society listened to music from A Midsummer Niglztis Dream before making a decision to attend the performance at Ovens Auditorium. Suzy Daggy was president, Linda McCall, treasurer, Mary Justice, secretaryg and Billie Jean Mc-Keown, vice-presi- dent.

Future Homernakers And Teachers Look Forward North's FHA had a busy year. They attended state, district, and county rallies, and on March 1, they were hostess for the county rally. Susanne Rayburn, presi- dent of the Mecklenburg County FHA, presided. Dr. I. Lem Stokes, of Pheiffer College, spoke to the group. During FHA week the club had devotions and put prayers and flowers on the cafeteria tables. They en- tertained their parents at a banquet in April. The FHA also sponsored the Twirp Dance, which was highlighted by a fashion show. This social was one of the biggest activities of the year for FHA members. Because the purpose of the Future Teachers of America is to learn more about the teaching profession, members of the club offered their services to Northis faculty to grade and make out objective tests, to type, and to run off materials on the duplicator. This was a learning experience for the student. Programs lent themselves to the objective strived for: Each member must examine himself to learn whether or not he would make a good teacher. The club heard many guest speakers and planned interesting programs for the meetings. Miss Hopkins was sponsor for the group.

Varied Activities Mark Year For Science Club Many were the activities of the Science Club this year. Field trips were taken to the airport, to the Me- morial School of Nursing, to Cowanis Ford Dam, which is being constructed, and to other places having a direct connection with science. Programs of the regular meet- ings were the result of careful planning, invited guests spoke to the club, and films were shown. XVork days were held when members made dark shades for the Chemistry Lab. Presenting a chapel program explaining some of the projects entered in the Science Fair, which was spon- sored by the Science Club, members proved that they had worked long and hard, The exhibits showed much thought and curiosity on the part of the students. Under the leadership of Mrs. Hart and Mr. VVoodrow, the Science Club had a very eventful year.

Clubs Foster Cooperation And Promote Leadership Activities of the students, division of the RED CROSS included the annual membership drive and the Toys for Tots campaign. The toys from the Red Cross were combined with those received by the Student Council and all were turned over to a service organi- zation in the county for distribution. Plans of the mem- bers included filling a chest with school supplies and sending it overseas. This year club members have really lent a helping hand. i l 50 Sponsored by Mr. Marshall, the objective of the MATH CLUB is to help students think out problems by the use of a short course in Logic and Sets. The Club Was a group of college preparatory students, interested in higher mathematics. Since math plays such a large part in one's life, members felt they had received some- thing of great value because of this extra-curricular activity.

Cynthia Alexander, a member of the Club, listened intently. With growth in Christian fellowship, service to club, school, and community, and growth in under- standing as their goals, the Bible Club served the school in many ways. At Christmas they visited the Mecklen- burg Sanitorium, singing Christmas carols. In early Ianuary it sponsored a baby picture contest. Admission was charged to view the pictures, and con- tests were conducted to determine winners. Votes were a penny each and Mr. Hough won a pacifier as the toughest, Dixie Cochrane, a tiny brush and comb in a corsage as the prettiest, Diane Miller, a tiny doll in a corsage as the cutest, and Jimmy Honeycutt, a clown teething ring as the funniest. Money raised by this con- test was used to purchase Bibles for distribution overseas through the American Bible Society. Phil Black placed the last of the baby pictures on the bulletin board before the display was opened to the students. at QE 2 eter .

Many Active Participants In Boys'Clubs Since the Hi-Y is an affiliate of the YMCA, the mem- bers are able to enjoy the facilities of this organization. Although basketball is the main sport enjoyed by the members, they also have fun in various other sports. They play volleyball, work out on trampolines, practice weight lifting, and swim in the Yi, pool every WVednes- day night. These boys have fun together and also with club members from other schools. Each year the Monogram Club initiates new mem- bers in the club. To be a candidate, one must have let- tered in a sport. The purpose of the Club is to promote sportsmanship through serving the school. Members are in charge of the concession stand in the gymn and have various other duties when they are needed. They meet once a month to plan their activities and projects, one of which is to give each senior boy a jacket on which there is the insignia of the sport in which he lettered.

DE Club Members Earn As They Learn After winning the five star club award in 1961, the Distributive Education Club was ready for another year of action and hard work. As the year progressed, many projects were carried out by the club. They dec- orated the car for the Carolinas' Carrousel, were hosts at the teacher appreciation tea, gave pot plants to each teacher, and Worked on various other plans. Members entered into competition with each other as well as with other clubs. Carol F ogleman was chosen North's DE Student of the Year, based on grades, school attendance, character, attitude, employer judgment of vocational achievement, offices held, contests entered, and finally on the interview with the Advisory Commit- tee. David von Kamecke competed in the Sales Demon- stration Contest which was held in March. Y Y To recruit new members, the DE Club planned a chapel program for interested sophomores and juniors. They showed slides which they had prepared to tell Northis DE Storyv and talked to the group about the DE Club. They planned to attend the State Conven- tion, also. Not all was work with the Club, for they planned socials, one of which was held at Erwin Lodge at Davidson. Officers were Eric Taylor, President, Glenn Teague, Associate President, Judy Haynes, Vice-President, Carol Fogleman, Secretary, Ronald Bullard, Treasurer, Jimmy Finch, Editor Promotion Manager, and Lewis Bowers, Parliamentarian. 53 gragzrgsrezg gghgggfr' ' Third-year French students formed one of the French Clubs composed of CFIRST ROWJ Mrs. Troutman, adviser, Suzy Daggy, Charlotte Greene, Sherry Taylor, Doris Brown, C SECOND ROWJ Margaret Bourdeaux, Dagmar Tauber, Nancy Moody, Mary With- ers, KTHIRD ROVVJ Eugene Brown, Jim Causey, and Mimy Martin.

Presidents of these clubs with their ad- viser, Mrs. Navey, were Davis Crater, Ronnie Norman, and Nancy Rogers. Many interesting customs of the Romans were studied during the Latin Club periods, and Roman life was discussed. Members also read and studied Caesaris Gallic Wai' written in Latin. Ipsa scientia potestas estv was the motto of the clubs. In English it is Knowledge itself is powerf' At Halloween the members of the clubs and other students as they could find time were taken on a trip through Hades. Here they were introduced to remains of famous Roman people. In April the clubs observed Latin VVeek by leading devotions and presenting a chapel program: The climax of the week was the Latin Banquet, given in authentic Roman style. At this banquet first-year students were slaves, waiting upon the other students, all of whom were dressed as Romans. Some members planned to attend the Latin Con- vention at UNC.

Leadership, Citizenship, Service--Aims Of Key Club Serving the school and the community, the Key Club promotes leadership and citizenship. Through their service the members encourage daily living of the Golden Rule in human relationships. Publishing a directory of all the students was the most responsible project undertaken by the Key Club. They sold North Mecklenburg stickers and solicited ad- vertising for the directory to raise money to publish it. This publication was included with the directories of Garinger and Myers Park. Each North student was given a copy. Under the leadership of Mr. Mack Haynes and spon- sorship by the Mecklenburg Kiwanis Club, the Key Club tapped sixteen new members this year. Members were chosen for their all round abilities, achievements, and character. Board of Directors included Johnny VVallace, Ronnie Gibson, Fred Entrekin, XVally Barnett, Phil Howard, Jimmy Poole, and Eugene Link.

Each class elected officers and met dur- ing class time at, regular intervals. A Father-Son Ban- quet was planned for the spring, at which time the Par- liamentary Procedure Team was to take part on the program. Many were active members of contest teams. Some of these were parliamentary procedure, public speaking, dairy judging, beef and swine judging, tool identification, seed identification, and land use and capability.

Expressing Oneself Through Art And Drama Satisfying Most important as an objective of the Art Students, Guild is to develop in its members a profound respect and appreciation for art. Other objectives are to pro- mote a greater understanding and knowledge of art and to allow all members to participate to a greater degree in art. Since this was the first year for the club, few ac- tivities were carried out during the first part of the term, however, field trips to the Mint Museum and to Davidson College, an art exchange program with other schools, and an art show at North were planned. Sev- eral exhibits were placed in the halls from time to time. To appreciate good drama and learn the funda- mentals of acting and speech are the objectives of the Dramatics Club. Each week the members are required to read plays and to discuss what makes a good play. They participated in the Fall Festival, presenting a skit from Life with F ather. Plans for the Club included participation in the Fine Arts Festival, which was to be held in the spring, and a theater party.

'-Edd Girls' And Boys' Ensembles Please Audience To provide an opportunity for the advanced and talented students to have some professional experience is the purpose of the Girls, and Boys, Ensembles. These students are selected by the director, Mr. james An- thony, who makes the selections after try-outs. They work on special arrangements, such as selections from operas and musical comedies. This year they have ap- peared in some of the churches in the North Mecklen- burg area, and by means of a pre-recorded tape, they appeared on radio. Planning to appear in the Fine Arts Festival in the spring, the Ensembles and the chorus classes Worked faithfully on H. M. S. Pinafore. This was the first at- tempt of the Fine Arts Department to present such a festival. The Ensembles also participated in the Christ- mas program at PTA, and sang at the Baccalaureate Exercises and at Graduation.

Phillips, the band participated in all foot- ball activities, playing stirring marches to add to the excitement of the games. They practiced with the let- ter-girls and majorettes so that the girls could perform at all the home games. Because of the size of the band, there was no marching band, but students from the nearby junior high joined with them at the games. Many of the members attended the band clinic held in Gastonia. Randy Wally and Jerry Byers handled a part of the percussion instruments. Members practiced daily at fifth period with Mr. Phillips directing. All together, now, with toes pointing down . . .

At other times they put on their show during halftime. VVhen the lights went out between halves at the homecoming game, the crowd thought something was wrong. However, they soon found that the darkness was deliberate, for the Rebel girls were using fire batons for the first time at North.

Since the PTA requires funds to carry on its many projects, a Fall Festival is held each year to raise the necessary money. Students participate in a Variety Show with skits and individual acts. Supper is served in the cafeteria, homemade candy, cakes, and pies are also sold, and so are cold drinks. A Sock Hop in the gym is one of the most popular features of the Fall Festival but the most interesting is the King and Queen Contest.

N I . ,, W l E l 1 1 f FEATURE Every person was important to the settlement in North Mecklenburg, but there were those who were outstanding in one way or another. Some of them had strong qualities of leadership, some were courageous in the face of danger. One great example of this was jane Parks McDowell, who talked the British out of doing any damage at her home. She lived on York Road, but the same spirit that prompted her to ride past Charlotte- town and out the Salisbury road to the camp of the Americans, Where she notified her husband and his com- rades of the Redcoats, retreat toward the Catawba, still lives. At North, scholarship sets some apart from others. Sometimes outstanding citizenship makes one person stand a little taller than anotherg but in whatever Way a person is outstanding, North students honor him. It is only his due. Martha Ashcraft and johnny Sutton enjoyed being Roman citizens just one night, when the Lat-in Clubs held their banquet. ,,...3g, for Finalists in the National Merit Scholarship competition, Suzy Daggy and Charles Lloyd, discussed the test with Harold Threatt, who received a Letter of Commendation. Students Honored Through Scholarships And Other Activities A large group consisting mostly of juniors partici- pated in the Seventh Annual National Merit Scholarship Program last year. These students were in competition with high school students across the nation in hopes of qualifying for a scholarship. Though the chances of becoming a National Merit Scholar are rather dim for most students, the results of the test combined with the Attending Girls' State and Boys, State were Lynda McCall, Anne Marie Osborne, Karen Hunter, Wally Barnett, Eugene Brown, and Rudy Ferguson. 66 previous school record and all-round performance pro- vide for students a scholarship given by a private organi- zation. North is proud of the number of her students that have received scholarships through this program. Suzy Daggy and Charles Lloyd are in the final competition for top scholarships. just after school is out in the spring several rising senior girls, chosen by the American Legion Auxiliary, are sent to the WCUNC campus to attend Girls' State. The purpose is to teach the girls something about the way the government works. They formed political par- ties, held elections, and organized cities. They also learned about the state and local governments and made many political decisions. However, not all the time was spent working, for there were many recreational activities planned. Rising senior boys, selected by the American Legion, went to the UNC campus, where they met with other state representatives for a week. Like the girls, the boys formed political parties and elected their officers. It was a distinct honor to be elected an officer, for much hard work, many campaign speeches, and vote-getting were involved. The purpose of Boys' State, like that of Girls' State, is to encourage representatives to learn about the politics and affairs of the government and to enable them to take part in a more efficient manner. Anne Marie Osborne was elected a senator at Girls, State, and because of this she attended Girls' Nation in Washington, D. C.

Top Ten Chosen Marshals At Graduation Activities Chosen for scholastic achievement and ability, the junior Marshals served as ushers for graduation exer- cises. They also distributed programs and performed other odd jobs. The two juniors with the highest scho- lastic averages led the seniors into the auditorium for fi Q. ll the Baccalaureate and the Graduation Exercises. It is indeed an honor to be a Marshal, for it requires much study and work to keep grades high enough so that one will be chosen. Billie Jean Mclieown and Lynda McCall had the highest aver- ages in the junior Classg therefore they were Chief Marshals. 67 ,, 'ua.,,,,f'. - L '1 if JS gym- Former Fall Festival King and Queen, Dennis Nunn and Janet Cherry, crowned the new King and Queen, Jandre Betterton and Lee Daugherty. Royalty Presides At Festivities VVeeks before the annual Fall Festival, homerooms nominated candidates for king and queen. Nominations cost a nickel and votes for a favorite candidate were a penny each. Students canvassed the neighborhoods for votes and worked just as hard at school, for every penny counted. Just before school closed on the final day the three runners-up for king and queen were called to the office and plans were made for the eoronation. Jandre Better- ton and Lee Daugherty had more votes than any other candidate and were crowned at the Festival. For the first time in years, Northis Student Council sponsored a Valentine Dance, a sock hop in the gym. Since this was an affair to raise money to buy warm-ups for the basketball teams, several plans were carried out to raise money. One of these was the king and queen contest. Votes were a penny each, Bobby Scivoletti and Linda Dowcly were crowned. 68 mm N-'Paw lJl1FQgFlf3l?g'lV!f?3if'4Wr7 4 iamEtF3 -annum 'A' ' . i ' l l l l l K Wally Barnett crowned Bobby Scivoletti King of Hearts after he had already crowned Linda Dowdy Queen of Hearts at the Valentine Dance held in the l i sl' 1'ISu3'luflllllllliillfni Those who had worked hardest to make the junior-Senior Prom a success were members of the junior Class Planning Committee.

Planned by the Juniors to honor the Seniors, the dance was the biggest social function of the year. Junior committees formed in early spring worked hard to insure a Wonderful dance. Each committee had a special task with a specific responsibility, and if he failed to do his job, it just didn't get done. Therefore everyone worked hard and tirelessly to complete their assignments. Under the Magnoliasv was the theme of the danceg decorations included magnolias placed at intervals to catch the crepe paper streamers. C-reenery was twined into trellises and in the center of the dance floor was the Wishing well. With the lights turned low and dreamy music played by Bill Knauffis orchestra, what could be more romantic? A special feature was a medley of songs from Show- boatf, This group was led by Mr. Anthony. Indeed it was a night never to be forgotten! Mr. and Mrs. Hough enjoyed dancing to the music of Billy Knauff and his orchestra. I-fa fd-,Mgt iii I fax I.. 1 The XVishing XVell was a big attraction for couples a the Prom.

She arrived before school began to stay with her Ameri- can family,', the D. G. Martins of Davidson. Dagmar was impressed by North's school spirit, and she was an enthusiastic spectator. She was very often seen at football games, which she enjoyed thoroughly, and at many other events. Her extra-curricular activities at North included Student Council, French Club, and the Booster Committee. 74 A if A 'B' C A CV-T A V 29iil1f!!l'li3'95'Y Yia'1i:fiiiiiff:.

Jimmy Poole, who had scored the winning basket in the final seconds of the overtime period with South, was congratulated by Pat Barkley and Mr. Ned McCall. ATHLETICS In sports, horse racing and cock fighting were popu- lar with the settlers of Mecklenburg. Not infrequently a considerable part of the male population was enter- tained by bare-knuckled fighters Who beat each other into gory pulps in improvised rings, often the bouts would go for dozens of rounds until one of the maulers yelled Enough!',. Shooting matches, with sections of beef as prizes, were frequently held, with one dollar for - 7,Y, Y four shots being the usual charge. One would find quite a different picture today in sports. Organized games are played in competition with other communities, however, the people have not lost their interest in individual competition.

Statesville edged North in the top of the fourth period 6-0. North and West played a rugged football game, and in the last minutes things were looking good for the Rebs.

'Q' 'K tg JOHNNY MooRE CURRIE JOHNSTON With only two lettermen returning this season, North lost the first seven conference games. The Rebels then played host to South, stunning the Sabres for North's first conference win this year. This was one of the most thrilling games of the season as the Rebels won in the last three seconds of an overtime period. This broke the Rebs, losing streak of twenty-five games. It took much pressure off the Rebs, also. North then lost their next five games. Usually the Rebs kept on even terms with their opponents in the first half but seemed to run out of steamw in the second. Their leading scorer was injured in mid-season and missed three games. North clashed with the Cougars of Charlotte Cath- olic on the Reb home court for their best showing of the year. Victory was theirs as they routed their oppo- nents in a non-conference win. This win was a great comeback. North won only one of the remaining five games of the season. This victory came when they edged out South by one point. North played better ball at the end of the year and seemed to improve as the season progressed. They won only three games - two conference and one non- conference - but they came close to victory in several other games. The Rebs had enthusiastic spirit and never gave up.

The ,61 team was one of the best in several years. It was a well-balanced team and played many close games. One of the most important wins was the victory over Asheville. Butch Hough Was the leading hitter, with Eugene Link and Eddie Reid also hitting Well. Roger Oxidine and Eddie Donaldson performed on the mound for the Rebels. A third place standing in the 4-A conference was a great reward for the team who had played its best.

Making that trip around the square, from North by Alex- ander and back by way of North 21 Highway, was also a daily chore. Another New Sport Added At North .W Silas Davis participated in cross country running as well as in track. Nine schools convened at Freedom Park for the 4-A Confer- ence Meet. - For the first time North had a cross country team. They participated in seven meets with other schools in the county. In the XVestern 4-A Conference Meet at Freedom Park North finished fourth among the nine schools competing. Silas finished first, making him All- Conference. Most of the meets were held at Freedom Park with two or more schools competing. There were only two dual meets, however. The distance run is two and one- fourth miles over uneven ground, and the average time is about 11.5 minutes. In cross country the team with the lowest score wins. First place gets 1 point, second place, 2 points, etc. Cross country is like track in that each man is on his own.

Beneath the Window augur holes were bored and long pins were inserted to hold up one or more planks for a writing table. It contained the rudest kind of seats for pupils to sit on, without backs, so that there would be nothing in the Way of the ever present rod. This was regarded as a necessary piece of furniture. All the stu- dents Were taught by one teacher and in one room. The small ones learned from the older ones. However, there was a change, just as other things changed. From the one-room schools, there came the organized classes of the modern school, each having a particular part to play in the education of the student. North High School is composed of three classes, Sopho- more, Junior, and Senior. Approximately 750 students are enrolled in these classes, and the student body is ever a blend of the old - the seniors - and the new - the sophomores. Betty XValters, a senior, worked in the library on her English assignment.

Exciting Activities Culininate Year for Class of '62 After two years of hard work in senior high, the Class of ,62 entered school their final year with more determination and purpose than ever before. They re- alized they had had more opportunities than any other class to graduate from North, they also realized their responsibility to the future. Advanced math courses, history by television, op- portunities to learn by doing in science, and advanced courses in languages were among the things each senior had experienced. Each had been counseled and tested to help him find his proper place-to help him build a happy life. 100 . ........- ...... Each day brought many new memories. Such events as the arrival of the senior rings, election of superla- tives, the Junior-Senior Prom, the arrival of the Viking, and finally graduation would always have a special place in the hearts and minds of each Senior. Moreover, there would also be memories of the tests failed, the late hours one had to work to get book reports in on time, and the hours spent in the library doing re- search. Nevertheless, in spite of all the disappointments and problems, one would remember that this was the best year of all. i Q. f'f'1 me ....,.-1, ,E 'rf' -'- - JOHN WAYNE ADAMS FFA 2,3 Sentinel 2, Secretary 3, Land judging Team 2,3, Parliamentary Procedure Team 2: Booster Club 15 Home- room Vice-President 1, President 25 Student Council 2.

YE ls..- JL-L 'CI7' Now They Could Really Call Themselves Seniors Sitting and waiting for Mr. Hough to come into the auditorium to give out senior rings is exciting in itself5 but to have one's name called out first and receive a ring before anyone else has his is the climax. Here Barbara Brown received her ring first, as Mr. Hough prepared to call out about two hundred names for rings. On the eve of his departure from North as a student teacher, some the commercial class members presented a birthday cake to Mr. Dozicr Murray. Vera Stephens baked the cake for him and served ice cream along with it. 9 2 105 ra..-f ,idx KW' Oak' fvw I 3 1 .,--., ,gr -a, 'Ya vs . fr-rw-H-M' vu-MPP' 1, fm, rgftw--w X qs -x ,sv CJ? gg ,nite 1-Neff' 'uv' wr vsgfqf m y 5.

Wanting to start thinking over this problem early enough to make a good selection were the Junior Class officers as they looked over the gift of the Class of '60. Officers were Currie Johnston, President, Johnny Wallace, Vice-President, Billy Jean Long, Secretary, and Joe Rogers, Treasurer. Juniors Challenged Through New Experiences For the Juniors a new year at North Mecklenburg High brought many changes, just as time and much action had brought changes to Mecklenburg County. More privileges, advantages, and a better year were the keynotes for action. Something new, the change to a six-period day, was welcomed by some and dreaded by others. More advanced subjects were offered, and many enthusiastic Juniors took advantage of this and enrolled in these classes. Looking forward to college, many Juniors began making preliminary plans after a very successful College Day, when many of the Juniors served as guides. For the first time, only Juniors and Seniors attended the sessions with college representatives. 118 , , e.i. ,,,-- ,-.,-.,,.,.,.,- Another challenge presented to the Juniors was the planning and management of the Junior-Senior Prom. They answered this with the same enthusiasm that they had shown in entering other things. As the year ended the Junior Marshals were chosen and the excited rising Seniors were measured for class rings. This was the highlight of the year for many, for nothing means more than receiving that senior ring. It had been a year of struggles and, at times, defeat, but rising above all that was the satisfaction of doing many things well and overcoming the problems that presented themselves. It had been a good year. Now one more page in the North Mecklenburg story had been written. be ...,,,Y., .....,, Y ..........................-.......-......-g4.- ., .... Mais 1. .. A . mi.. .

Sophomores uiekly Become True Rebels Bewildered and wary, Sophomores entered the doors of North for the first time in September, 1961. Most of them had spent the previous year together at Al- exander junior High, but this was a new experience. How would the aoldv North students receive them and what could they expect from the teachers were ques- tions that were on the minds of all of them. They had heard many tales of the utoughi' teachers at North, and how could they know how the juniors and the seniors would react to them. Certainly, they viewed North through the eyes of bewildered spectators. By October, however, they were a group of unified students, sure of their places as North Rebels. Their social year began with the Sophomore Sock Hop, spon- sored by the Student Council. Here they had fun to- gether and learned more about each other, which en- abled them to choose their officers more wisely. Another similar occasion, but a little more formal, was the Sophomore Reception, when Sophomores brought their parents to meet teachers and other parents. No doubt, many friends were made. But not all was fun. From the study of English, the basis of their culture, to the study of world history, their heritage, they were given the advantage of a wide field of learning. During their first year at North, they had the opportunity to combine the learning of their heritage with the ideas of today, looking to a better future.

Jimmy participated in many activities, one of which was playing trombone in the school band. He was a member of Trinity Methodist Church, where he was very active. He had a one hundred per cent attendance in Sunday School for seven years and was program chairman of the Trinity MYF. Jimmy was born in Mecklenburg County on January 11, 1946. He had made many friends at Long Creek, where he attended elementary school, and at Alexander Junior High and North .

It was Awards Day once again, and each person eagerly awaited to see who would win the awards presented to students whose work had been outstanding in some way. As the name of each student was called and each walked down the aisle to receive his award, there was an exhilarating quickness in his stride and an ex- pression of pride on his face. This was the culmination of three years of hard work, and now public recognition was made of one's success. It was a great day-Awards Day! Not only are students honored for outstanding work in the various fields of study, but many interested patrons, businessmen, and clubs present awards to those students who excell in some particular way. Awards last year were given to the following students: lim Causey, State Tennis Singles Champion and Athlete of the Year, Virginia Reames, DAR Citizenship and Iour- nalism, Frank Chigo, American History, Margaret Un- derwood, NOMA, Eugene Brown, Harvard Prize Book, Virginia Cornue, American Legion Oratorical Contest, Marsha Miller, VVorld Peace Speaking Contest and So- Underwood Rep. and Latin, Harold Threatt,.Science Symposium Rep., Frank Caldwell, PTA Scholarship, Math, and Sci- ence. Other awards went to Dudley Brown, English, Mary Hunter, English and French, Barbara Penninger, Home Economics, Bobbie Readling, Commercial, Ken- neth Cooke, Agriculture, Phyllis Thomas, Bible, Bobby Trimnal, Industrial Arts, Sophie Kumm, Art, Jerry Mc- Arn, Mechanical Drawing, Sammy McCoy, Library, Herb Puckett, Band, Mack Alexander, Chorus, lack Ritterskamp, Chorus, Anne Rogers, Chorus. For its outstanding work the DE Club received an award of 835, its president, ludith Rhodes, a S50 bond, and Tommy Edwards, a S25 bond.

All eligible students are carefully screened and discussed by the faculty before a final choice is made. Those who are selected well deserve the honor bestowed upon them. Each month during the school year, the student body selects a student who has done something out- standing in that particular month and honors him as the STUDENT of, the MONTH. From this group of stu- dents, the faculty selects on the basis of service, de- pendability, leadership, and character a STUDENT of the YEAR. BILL KIMBROUCH was awarded this honor in 1961. For outstanding service, character, participation, and all-round good citizenship, PAT FISHER was cho- sen to receive the coveted CIVITAN CITIZENSHIP AWARD. Pat also received a math award and recogni- tion as Most Outstanding for his service, citizenship, participation, and all-round contribution to the football team. Usually the senior class leaves a gift to the school, but the Class of ,6I chose to honor some student with the SENIOR FULFILLMENT AWARD. It was to be awarded to a person who has abilities, who develops them in a way that shows development of the whole person, and who uses them in a manner that would bring honor not only to him as a person but to the school as well. HARRY DUDLEY was the first recipient of this award. Realizing that many people serve the school with devotion and sacrifice, the Viking Staff saw the need for a service award. This award was to be called the VIKING SERVICE AWARD and was to be presented to some student who had served the school in an out- standing manner and whose service had been inspired by a love for the school. The 1961 award was presented to ANDREW KERNS, who gave unstintingly of his time and service for North.

In this picture a Hopewell officer of the militia is being given Polk's order to be in Charlotte for the May 19, 1775, convention. a Hundreds of excited fans crowded the stadium, watching North's victory at Homecoming. ADVERTI EME TS Even in the early days of Mecklenburg, people had been industry-minded. There was a flour mill, a black- smith shop, a saw mill, a gunsmith, several tailors, hat- ters, Weavers, and probably other establishments, in addi- tion to several stores and taverns. Certainly there was cooperation between them and the citizenry. Without the cooperation of advertisers. such a book as this would not have been possible. Thesupport of the whole community - merchants, friends, parents. and students - is necessary in such an undertaking. ........ ..-r-. .-.

One hears so many times that nobody seems to care about helping anyone else, but the Staff found this was not true. For the help we received we wish to say: To the students: We wish to thank you for the cooperation that you gave us in making it financially possible to publish this college size annual, for you certain- ly responded enthusiastically when we called. To the faculty: Without your understanding and patience, pictures could never have been made, and students working on the staff might have been under much stress in times of emergency. We appreciate all you did. To our advertisers: You know that without your help in a financial way we could never have published such a volumne as this. It is with deep sincerity that we express our thanks to you for your help throughout the years. To two wonderful friends: VVithout the aid of Mr. Kenneth VVhitsett and Mr. Legette Blythe we could never have carried out the theme of this book, THE NORTH MECKLENBURG STORY. To Mr. Whitsett, who is vitally interested in the history of Mecklenburg, we are deeply grateful for the drawings which illustrated the events of the Revolu- tion that pertained to THE NORTH MECKLENBURG STORY. It was a gracious thing to do-to take your time to do such work for us. Thank you, sincerely. To Mr. Leggette Blythe we say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. VVhen we asked you to give us some information, you graciously gave us the galley of your then unpublished book, Hornet's Nest, and permitted us to use any material we needed from Voice in the Wilderness, both of which so amply provided what we needed. You were always ready and willing to answer questions for us and make suggestions, and at the very end of this work you cheerfully read what we had written and made comments to help us. Our sincere thanks to you. We could not close this page without saying to our publisher, Keys Printing Corporation, thanks for your understanding and patience, without which we would have been in trouble many times. We marvel at your ability to take such chaos and make order of it. Also to you, the Brumfields, go our thanks. W'hen deadlines were due, you were tireless in your efforts to help us meet them. We are grateful to all of you. YV .HW X V H r M V . .... . fwimf WM J Taj, UU A A V ZF L5 V? -H 2 I - .
