Our four years in high school have seen numer- ous changes, many of which can be seen through- out our school. New rooms, new teachers, new students and new ways of looking at things are added each year. As we have learned, there are also values that never change- -knowledge, mutual respect, and true friendship. We, the Arrowhead staff, have attempted to record a portion of our memories at Old Fort High School in this, the 1965-66 volume of The Arrowhead.

The growth made by our school has been matched only by the growth in community spirit now found in Old Fort. With the addition of a new guidance office and a full-time guidance counselor, many more students are being helped to find an- swers to their questions about the future. 5 Uo oo oui an cf noi in The achievements in athletics and school spirit can be symbolized to some extent by the number of trophies acquired over the last year. The growth in enrollment has made it necessary to use mobile class units until additional classes can be built. Aperson of rare qualities, Mr. Donald Smith commands the admiration, respect, and friendship of all with whom he comes in contact. Never too busy to lend a helping hand, he is a friend to students and fellow faculty members.

Academic excellence is the trademark of San- dra Knupp, Valedictorian, and Rita Silver, Salut- atorian. 43 Poise, beauty, and personality com- bined to make Judy Harris the choice of the student body for 1965 Homecoming Queen. Jfc omecominq Even after suffering a defeat at the hands of Spruce Pine by a score of 40-7, students will remember the 1965 Home- coming as one of the most outstandirig in the school ' s history. Largely due to a Red-and-White Day, sponsored by the Student Council, and an exciting pep rally held on Friday afternoon, school spirit was at its peak, A parade held after school honored the Redskins and the Homecoming Court. A dance after the emotion-packed game topped off the evening and the Home- coming festivities. Elected by the football team, Linda Wilson reigned as Football Queen repre- senting the boys in the Homecoming ac- tivities. The students made the choice of Homecoming Queen by voting among five senior girls nominated by the senior class. After being escorted around the field, the Football Queen was crown- ed by the team captain, Leonard Walker. The Homecomii Court consisted of Patsy Oates, Junior Representative; Lavonne Connor, Senior Representative; Marjorie Banner, Fresh- man Representative; Kaye Elliott, Sophomore Representative; and Brenda Bartlett, Repre- sentative of the School Spirit Organization. Waiting in the lunchroom during the first half of the game, the Homecoming court anxiously awaits halftime activities. Students found enjoyment in preparing for the Home- coming festivities. Escorted by Ray Allison, Queen Judy was crowned by Mr. Greer at halftime and presented with a bouquet of red roses. 45 The School Band, directed by sophomore Mike Hogan, entertained with several renditions as the show got under way.

CBase£aff Although the Redskins started out the season slowly, they finished with a flourish, knocking off three other contenders for the Skyline Conference Crown. Billy Lytle led the team in batting with a .333 mark, which helped him to win the most valuable playe award. Pitcher Wayne McCauley had only a 3- -3 won and lost record, but he possessed a 0.27 earned run average. Second baseman Johnny Oates scoops up a hard hit ground ball. Billy Snyder warms up before coming to bat. Warming up before a game, pitcher Wayne McCauley breaks off a curve ball. The mile relay team, Mike Hensley, Honda Lewis, Johnny Allison, Dean Thomason, and Ray Allison, consistent throughout the season, placed third in all meets. The team ' s fastest runner, Mike Hensley, prepares for the dashes. Though handicapped by having the smallest squad in the conference Old Fort was able to place third in the conference by consistently picking up points in each meet. Only the strong teams of GlenAlpine and N.C.S.D. were able to out- shine the under- manned Redskins. FIRST ROW: Ronda Lewis, Mike Hensley, Charles Renfro, Jerry Harris, Larry Burgin, and Steve Parker. SECOND ROW: Dean Thomason, Ray Allison, Johnny Allison, Jerry Greene, Ken Burleson, Larry Walker and Gary Davis. ' ooiSaJT Almost perfect timing is required for a play to be successful. The Redskin backfield drills hard to make the season a success. Captain Larry Moore, a six foot defensive end, and co-captain Carroll Turner, a six-foot three inch quarterback and interior lineman, pose for the cameras before taking part in a team scrimmage. A 3-6-1 won and lost record is not the best in the world, but it indicates that better things are to come. The returning boys are eager to get back to the prac- tice field; they believe a conference championship is not too far from reality. Head coach Hildred Clark and his assistant Ken Griffin have introduced a new brand of foot- ball at Old Fort. Coach Clark has brought with him a philosophy of football that can be summed up in these words: 1 want to win.” His team shows great promise for the future with many tal- ented lettermen returning. 50 The 1965-66 edition of the Redskins had 30 members.

For the second straight season the Redskins ended their regular season undefeated with a record of 20-0. They breezed through county and Skyline competition with their closest games at Salem and Nebo. Their first loss occurred in the finals of the McDowell County Tournament when they were upset by the Nebo Bears 63-60, Getting revenge, the Red- skins routed Nebo 7 1-57 in the finals of the District Six Tournament at Gardner-Webb College to win a berth in the State Tournament at Durham. Victory over Midway was the result of their first game on Thursday in the State Play-offs. Nevertheless, a strong opponent, Ayden, on Friday night caused the Redskins to succumb. Saturday night. Old Fort dropped the consolation to Jonesville and took their place as 4th in the state. Truly, one can still say that the Redskins are champions among champions. To add to the above laurels Billy Lytle and Wayne McCauley were chosen for the ’’All-County and All-Skyline Conference” teams for the school year, 1965-66. An additional honor was bestowed upon Billy Lytle when he was chosen to play in ’’Blue -White All-Star” game. 54 Snyder leaps high in the air in an effort to grab a rebound from the outstretched hands of Drexel players. Being pursued by three Nebo players, Oates goes in for a lay-up. Rhinehardt moves in for the doubleteam as Mc- Cauley applies pressure defense. 55 McCauley and Salem ' s Brent Mull leap high into the air as they fight for a rebound. A hustling Snyder makes a steal from a Drexel player. Gn 2erfeac ers Cheerleaders add much to the school spirit at O.F.H.S. Leading students in peppy cheers at ball games as well as in pep rallies, they are an essential asset to the school life. Helping to attain the best school spirit possible are the following girls, who are serving as cheer- leaders this year. Left row: Doris Bryant, Ann Bur - gin, Johnsie Elliott, Jane Flintom, and Jo Lytle. Right row: Sharon Hendley, captain; Loretta Freeman, Re- vonda Robinson, Gail McGinnis, and Linda Wilson, co- captain. To perfect their agility, the cheerleaders remain after school to practice the cheers. Maintaining good co-opera- tion among all the cheerleaders, collecting new and varied cheers, and seeing that every- one practices diligently are but a few of the jobs Sharon Hendley as Captain and Linda Wilson as Co-captain execute. Displaying their skills during halftime, the cheer- leaders help to boost team spirit at ball games. 56 Ofcf9-oH 7 a aces S a e A calm quintet leaving for the State Tournament does not reflect the excitement of the student body shown in a pep rally a short time before. Action in the State Tournament found Old Fort seeded in games with Midway, Ayden, and Jones - ville. Making a clean sweep of the District Tournament, the Redskins knocked offNebo in the final round with a score of 71-57. During a time-out, the Redskins receive stra- tegic instructions from Coach Griffin. Named the most valuable players in their field for the 1965-66 school year are Jimmy Willis, boy ' s basketball; Shirley Hartwell, girl ' s basketball; and Terry Hendley, football.
