A complete high school education prepares stu- dents for the responsibilities they will assume as both leaders and participants. Democratic behavior is achieved through participation in activities. 3 At O.F.H. We Develop Mentally, Physically By concentrated study, we develop our minds to prepare for our impending individual careers. Realizing the importance of those long hours of practice, the band continually shows progress in its many school functions. Through experimentation, we soon realize that chemi- cals, as well as life, will better serve mankind if formulated and used in the proper perspective. 4 And Socially Through Active Participation And After the physical exertion of competition is over, the athletes ma- ture further by attending an athletic banquet. Our behavior at school is just as important, if not more important, than our sportsmanship at our athletic competitions. Here we learn to support the best interests of our school by setting the example for others to follow. ■ ’1 ■ Wf Jf 7 DEDICA TED LEADERSHIP An adult leader imparts principles of human relationships and democratic behavior to student leaders who in turn practice these principles and instruct other students in their use. Teachers know students as individuals and provide as- sistance for class members who need it. Our leaders impart wisdom, guide our de- velopment, and help us with problems whether they be large or small. The active and well-informed student of today feels that he owes much to the experience which was ob- tained during his high school years. This experience is his only if he has confidence in his leadership. 6 IN DEDICA TION In the three years that she has been here, Mrs. Phyllis Anne Setzer has proved to be a valuable asset to Old Fort School. Mrs. Setzer, as a teacher and a friendly adviser, is always willing to give her time and help whenever needed. Because of her qualities of leadership and understanding, Mrs. Setzer was ap- pointed sponsor of the Senior Class and adviser to both the REDSKIN GAZETTE and the cheerleaders. The variety of activities which characterize Mrs. Setzer’s classes presents a challenge to her English students. For these reasons we, the Senior Class of 1967, do dedicate this edition of THE ARROWHEAD to Mrs. Phyllis Anne Setzer. Displaying surprising abilities as can-can dancers, eight future bunnies?” entertained a delighted audi- ence. Long hours of practice enabled the band to introduce many new numbers. Among them were stately marches and patriotic songs typical of the Gay Nineties.” FALL FESTIVAL QUEEN; Kay Harris KING: Wayne McCauley PRINCESS: Phyllis Freeman PRINCE: Ronnie Bailey Parents and Patrons Lead Successful P. LA. Project Dressed in colorful costumes and backed by the chorus, the square dancers helped to carry out the title of the pro- gram It Was Then As Now. Nearly two hundred people of all ages participated in the Fall Festival, one of the biggest entertainment events of the year. The Festival was sponsored by the P.T.A. and proceeds from this event, held each November, are used to help finance worthy- projects. Featuring a Gay Nineties theme and en- titled, ’Tt Was Then As Now, the program consisted of a variety of acts, including skits, songs, and dances. Red, White, and Blue colors were used predominately in cos- tumes and setting to help emphasize the patriotic theme. 8 PARTICIPANTS IN ORGANIZATIONS y ’ Members of the Student Council pose for the photographer.

THE ARRO WHEA D ST A EE Striving to produce a prize- winning annual is Gayle Stevens, editor of this edition of the Ar- rowhead. Ready to give advice and help whenever needed is Mrs. Betty Marston, sponsor. The nearly impossible task of compiling the unforgettable memories of a school year into one book was given to the members of the annual staff. After working as a team under pressure for seemingly days without end, soliciting advertisements, arranging sched- ules, meeting deadlines, writing captions, organizing and reorganizing, we have com- pleted a book that we feel is worthy of our goals and anticipations, and one that will meet the high standards that the student body has come to expect. The members of the staff believe that the students and faculty will be as proud of this 1967 Arrowhead as we are. Typists: Brenda Banner, Mary Davis, and Roberta Myers.

Outstanding players, Mike Elliott and Robert Hartwell, added action and strength to the team. Having a seasonal record of ten wins and four losses in 1966, the Redskins participated in the state finals, representing McDowell County. With the hopes of new lights for the baseball field, home games are planned to be played at night. The highlight of last year was a 1-0 victory over Salem in the state play-offs. Wayne McCauley pitched a victory over Salem ' s Rick Steiner. Lead- ing Redskin hitter and star catcher, John Lipe, made the key play of the game when he picked the potential leading run off third base in the seventh inning. The Redskins scored with two out in the last inning. Working with the athletic activities, Coach Ken Griffin has led the boys to the district and state play-offs in both baseball and basketball. The Redskins’ top base- ball stars, Mike Elliott, John Lipe, Wayne McCauley, and Robert Hartwell agree that practice, leadership, and co-operation make a winning team. CHEER Boost ' ‘Victory!

Under the valuable leadership of our principal, Mr. P. W. Greer, our school has gone through its greatest period of expansion. New buildings, ad- ditional sports, and accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools are just a few of the goals which have been accom- plished through his leadership. Mr. James R. Washburn serves as both assistant principal and guidance counselor. His primary objective is to aid the students with their educations!, vocational, and personal problems. He not only assists the students in many ways, but he also helps faculty members locate needed materials. Behind every smooth running organization there is an efficient secretary. Mrs. Margie Thomason has the responsibility for keeping up-to-date records and for handling numerous details neces- sary in a well-run office. 42 SOCIAL STUDIES Help Students Fit Into Our Democratic Way Of Life The Social Studies Department strives to preserve our American heritage. Teaching individuality of thovight, expres- sion, and action, plus stressing the need of a united people in a democracy are the goals of this department. The chief objective of the department is to prepare the student of today for the role of leader of tomorrow. Students in World History often present reports on re- lated topics. American History students frequently give panel dis- cussions and demonstrations. Showing the steps in passing a bill are Larry Burgin, James Knupp, and John Lytle.
