NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE 3 BUSSES- Home, T.V., and Rest! PHYSICALLY This year has brought many changes in both our school and ourselves. Old Fort students have grown in mind, body, and spirit this past year. Within these pages is captured the commemorative record of the past year. We developed physically by attending physical education classes where we perfected some particular skill. Some of us participated in school sports, enabling Old Fort High to compete with neighboring schools. The 3:15 bell did not end our connection with Old Fort High for the day. We had club or committee meetings to attend, projects to carry out, and ball games to attend, where we cheered our teams on to victory. These and other activi- ties brought us together with our friends and fellow students and enabled us to exchange ideas and opinions. TEAM WORK- maker of a successful basketball season. WAYS WE GROW MENTALLY SOCIALLY SPIRITUALLY STUDY- the key to success. DANCE- the end of a perfect ball game. CHURCH- peace of mind and heart. 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS BOOK ONE BOOK TWO Administration Page 17 Faculty Page 19 Classes Seniors Page Juniors Page Sophomores Page Freshmen Page 22 30 35 39 MR.

We will always remember the hurried conversations with our friends before the morning bell, during the minutes between classes, or after lunch. Memories of our friends will always be linked with club meet- ings we attended, work we did as a service to our school, or maybe going to that favorite game where, win or lose, we knew Old Fort High excelled in school spirit. SPECTATOP?S- The loud voices cheering the winning team. STUDY HALL- A place to work, or read, or just think. 9 LAYUP- An intricate movement involving feet, legs, hands, and arms. Physical education classes provided recreation for boys and girls. Calisthenics began a period of both team and individual sports. During the fall months, football was the major sport; but as colder weather came, basketball took over. At last the warm spring days arrived, and classes again moved outside. Track and baseball became the rage. P.E.- Required course for all freshmen, usually one of the most enjoyable. GIRLS ' P.E.- A studious way to stay slim and trim. FOOTBALL- A rough and tumble game dealing with head-on collisions. education and health giving sports . . . WB DANCING- A means of obtaining grace and poise. 1 1 Acquiring knowledge, understanding, and, eventually, wisdom - These were the common goals of students at Old Fort High School during the 1964-65 school year. The curriculum which the school offered added much to our store of knowledge and augmented our appreciation of learning. Association and fellowship with friends and acquaintances increased our understanding immeasurably. Wisdom, which one can never fully attain, comes as a result of a lifetime of learning, not only through organized study but also through experience.

Through a study of literature, through dedicated living and insight he ar- rives at spiritual truth. TEACHER- Slave-driver at O. F.H.S. GLEE CLUB- A good place to exercise vocal cords. COUPLE- Composed of one boy and one girl with mutual feelings. 14 BIOLOGY- The study of man. MR, MILTON HORNADAY has endeared himself to the Senior Class by his many helpful contributions of time and advice. Etched indelibly on the heart of each senior is the memory of his earnest concern for their futures. At present Mr. Hornaday is counselor, but in the past he has taught many of the seniors how to think for themselves. Now by dedicat- ing this 1965 edition of THE ARROWHEAD to him, we the Senior Class wish to express our heartfelt thanks. EDICATION 16 ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY 17 ADMINISTRATION Principal P. W. Greer ' s efforts to continue to improve the quality of education led to a successful re-accreditation at the state level last year. This year the goal is accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Mr. Greer has directed the faculty in a variety of complex activities prerequisite to a visit by the ac- crediting committee. To be successful, a large organization must have efficient management. We are fortunate in having Mr. James E. Johnson and his office staff to supervise the activities of the principals and faculties in their efforts toward ac- creditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. P. W. Greer, Principal Mr. James E. Johnson County Superintendent Records, schedules, and ab- sence lists are only a few of the multitude of tasks with which Mrs. Margie Thomason, school secretary, must cope. Mr. Milton Hornaday works out of the county office as guidance counselor to students of two of the five high schools. At Old Fort, he works with Mrs. Bula Taylor who is a part- time counselor. 18 Mr. Donald Anderson Agriculture N. C. State, B. S. Mr. John Bumgarner Social Studies A.S.T.C.,B.S.

Delicate and poised the performers smilingly entertained their captivated audience. Instead of the usual Halloween Carnival, members of the Old Fort community were entertained by a Fall Festival. Novem- ber 6 was a rollicking eveningfilled with whole-hearted laughter and fun. The evening began with a turkey supper with all the trimmings. Afterwards, a stage show presented a womanless wedding and an Old Fort version of Swan Lake. Only local talent was used in the Festival. Each spectator now eagerly awaits next year ' s activities. The womanless wedding wrought havoc in the audience as the petite bride wed her muscular spouse. Reigning over the evening ' s activities were Queen Pat Elli- ott, King Terry Hendley, Prin- cess Diana Allison, and Prince Jimmy Brown. A newly organized group, the Arrowhead doggers, manipulated their intricate maneuvers. Organ- ized by Mrs. Gladys Gibbs, the dog- gers work hard to be an effective group. 46 Teepee Journal Helps Maintain Good Public Relations Operating under a new system this year, the TEEPEE JOURNAL has four co-sponsors; Mrs. Betty Marston, Mrs. Bessie Titus, Mrs. Sylvia Howe, and Miss Phyllis Moore.

Working in rainy, drab weather, the Arrowhead staff solicited ads to help cover the cost of publish- ing the Arrowhead. The total assists of 1965 topped those of former years, which included many award-winners. This year ' s Advertising Staff consisted of Jimmy Willis, business manager; Ronnie Nodine, Rita Silver, Toni Teague, Carroll Turner, Linda Caplan, Helen Cosgrove, Ronnie Richardson, Judy Allison, Joan Mason, Sandra Knupp, and Allen Jones. Judy Crawford receives instructions from photographer, Allen Jones, whose duty was to see that pictures were available by the deadline. Joan Mason and Cheryl Thomas, typists, consult about the copy before transferring it to master layout sheets. 56 STAFF EDITORIAL STAFF The job of the editorial staff is a heavy one indeed. It is their duty to schedule pictures and work so that each and every deadline is met. Also, before the master layout sheets are mailed the editorial staff must carefully proofread and check the separate pages. This year ' s staff finds that publishing an annual is a time consuming but re- warding task. Heading the editorial staff, editor Sandra Knupp discusses the Arrowhead ' s progress with Carroll Turner, junior editor, and sponsor, Mrs. Marston. The copy staff must carefully select and arrange words to tell the year ' s story. Working with the copy editor, Rita Silver, are juniors Judy Crawford and Doris Bryant. The job of the lay-out staff is to see that there is apleasing contrast between facing pages. Composing the staff is layout editor, Toni Teague, who works conjunctively with juniors Theresa Early and Jane Nichols. As deadlines draw near, annual staff meetings are often called to synchronize multiple activities. Y w LIBRARIANS CLUB 1 I • 1 Functioning as an aid to teachers, the Librarians Club had a busy year.

Band Enters 2nd Year As it enters its second year, Old Fort ' s band is participating in more and more school activities. Since presenting its first pro- gram in November, 1963, the band has played at graduation ex- ercises, performed at home football games, and presented music at a number of chapel programs and pep rallies. At the present time, the band consists of 42 members, plus a beginners ' class. In the future, OFS students will see their band performing at more and more school functions. To Mr. Joseph DeNardo, director, who has inspired members with his patience and dedication, goes much of the credit for the band ' s success. Their batons raised in salute, the majorettes stand at attention as the band plays the national anthem. Leading the band are majorettes Sherry Griggs, Joan Mason, chief, Brenda Bart- lett, Beverly Medford. Terry Hennes- see, Myrna Lipe, and Judy Moore. 60 ATHLETICS 61 A i 1 1 T L i; Vi J m Working hard and playing the game for all it was worth, these young men served their school as worthy ambassadors this year.

Injuries and letdowns were the rule as the Redskins experienced a disappointing season. A season-ending victory helped to ease some of the pains as the team triumphed 18-9 over Cross- nore. All-Conference honorable mention went to Billy Lytle, end; Tommy Johnson, halfback; and Terry Hendley, guard. A highly successful Junior varsity team will be furnishing many fine young players for next season. 62 Working as a unit, the Redskins move in on the opposing backfield. FOOTBALL The brain trust of the Redskins, coaches Jim Washburn and Ken Griffin, are found on campus following the victory over Crossnore. Another ball carrier bites the dust as rein- forcements arrive on the scene. J.V.’S ARE UNDEFEATED Not only has Old Fort had an undefeated boys ' varsity, but also an undefeated J, V. team. Composed of 8 freshmen and 4 sopho- mores, this year ' s J. V. ' s have a perfect record of 11-0. Though their opposition has consisted of older, more experienced boys, they have m ain- tained an a v e r ag e of 60 points per game while holding the op- position to an average of 30 points. These records indicate that Old Fort fans can look forward to seeing an- other winning team. The J. V. ' s prepare to leave for an away game. They are: Mike Hensley, Allan Baker, Robert Hartwell, Donald Lackey, Mike Elliott, Gary Davis, Eddie Knowlton, Mike Ramsey, Mike Gibbs, Donny Lytle, Coach Ken Griffin, and Billy Early.

Coach Washburn con- sidered the season a success compared to past seasons. Libby Piercy, top scorer for the Maidens, was named to the All-County Team. Team spirit, cooperation, and hard play urged the Maidens to their many victories. Coach Jim Washburn, working with co-captains Catherine Robinson, Linda Lytle, Shirley Hartwell, and Rita Silver, helped to make the season a great success for the team. Shirley Hartwell, senior guard, was an asset to the team with her rebounding strength. Senior Rita Silver alternated as rov- ing forward and proved herself one of the top scorers. Agnes Effler, junior forward, and Theresa Early, junior guard, serve competently as first string substitutes. As rover, junior Judy Craw- ford proved her prowess as both forward and guard. 66 FIRST ROW: Patsy Oates, Agnes Effler, Loretta Evans, Mary Lewis, manager; Kay Elliott, Betty Robinson, and Susan Ramsey. SECOND ROW: Rita Silver, Linda Morris, Robin Snyder, Shirley Hartwell, Libby Piercy, Diane Sil- ver, Catherine Robinson, Linda Lytle, Theresa Early, Judy Crawford, and Coach Jim Washburn. Demonstrating her ball handling ability, Linda Lytle, senior, passes the ball up court. Outstanding offensive rebound- ing made Catherine Ftobinson a very valuable player for the Maidens. Though only a junior, Libby Piercy exercisedher shoot- ing ability throughout the season by high scoring in many of the games. An unbeatable combination, the Old Fort Redskins boast of some of the finest individual as well as team players. Comprising the team are Jimmy Willis, Carroll Turner, Mickey Arney, Wayne McCauley, Ralph Willis, Billy Lytle, Danny Willis, David Rhinehardt, Troy Kelly, Roger Souther, manager; Johnny Oates, Coach Ken Griffin, Billy Snyder, and Billy Craig. THE REDSKINS The Redskins finished the regular season with a perfect record of 20 - 0. Hustle, desire, and teamplay were the main characteristics of the Old Fort powerhouse. With their outstanding season, the Redskins brought home the Skyline Conference Championship and the McDowell County Conference and Tournament Championships. Coach Ken Griffin was honored by being named coach of the Blue team in the Blue-White All-Star game. Representing Old Fort on the All-Conference and Blue-White team were co-captains Mickey Arney and Danny Willis. Co- captain Mickey Arney shows his jumping ability by dunking the ball. His steady all-around play kept the Redskins on top. Wayne McCauley shows the hustle which led the Red- skins to a perfect season by recovering a loose ball against Salem. 68 Captain Jimmy Willis shows his unstoppable hook shot which helped lead the Redskins to their first perfect season. Billy Craig, a senior guard, demonstrates his deadly jumper which greatly aided the powerful Redskins. REDSKINS END PERFECT SEASON Dependable senior. Buzz Willis, being of great value in rebound- ing, also possesses a soft jump shot of great accuracy. Possessing a deadly jump shot, senior and c o - c ap t ai n Danny Willis exhibits the perfect form which made him a leader in the potent Redskin offense. High scoring guard Billy Lytle, a junior, also proved himself a top defensive man and pulled the Redskins through in many tight spots. Sophomore Wayne McCauley proved a valuable asset to the team with his ability to rebound and key the fast break. 69 BASEBALL Pitcher Wayne McCau- ley ■warms up before a game. Though the Redskins lost 3 of their first 4 games last sea- son, they went on to finish the season with a 10-4 record. In the McDowell County Tournament they tied with North Cove for first place, and were consequently ranked second. Jimmy Moore, whose hitting and relief pitching added much to the sea- son ' s success was voted Most Valuable Player. Prospects, according to Coach Ken Griffin, are good for the upcoming sea- son. With Wayne McCauley as starting pitcher, Jimmy Moore as the team ' s top hitter, and with the cooperation of other team members, this season looks promising. Shortstop Billy Lytle scoops up a hot ground- er. Second baseman Danny Willis catches a pop fly COACH SAYS PROSPECTS ARE GOOD As baseball season draws closer, planning sessions between coach and team members become more frequent. Making seasonal plans are Steve Allison, Jimmy Willis, Tommy Johnson, Jimmy Moore, Danny Willis, and Coach Ken Griffin. 70 ELEMENTARY 71 PRIMARY - Mrs. Arwyn Allison, Teacher FIRST ROW: Nancy Jo Lewis, George Dominick, Randy Johnson, Keith Byrd, George Thompson, Dale Wyatt, John Turner, Glenn Banning, Tommy Dale.
