Gift of Renny Kremer 2013 e end that becomes the beginning . The Yearhook Staff Presents editor business manager advisor published by the Beta Club of 2 1966 DRACONIAN Volume VII Pittsboro High School . Pittsboro, North Carolina 3 Debut Any school is full of many varied beginnings. To the first grader, it is the beginning of twelve wonderful years of learning and making friends. To the ninth grader, it is the beginning of four years that will be the richest and the fullest years of his life. To the Yearbook Staff of Pittsboro High School, it is the beginning of many long hoxrrs of hard work in compiling a yearbook that will preserve the memories just as vividly twenty years from now as it does today—the day you get your first look at its newly printed pages. Thus, to you, the green freshman; you, the sophisticated sophomore; you, the hard-working junior; you, the confident senior; to everyone at Pittsboro School, we proudly present Debut, the seventh edition of the Draqonian . This is a yearbook filled with many beginnings; the beginning of SCHOOL LIFE, of a new year with the ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY, of old and new ACTIVITIES, of treasured HONORS, of varied ATHLETICS, of a year of HIGH SCHOOL that will long be remembered, of an ELE¬ MENTARY year that will pass ever too slowly, and of the best year yet for our sponsors and their ADVERTISEMENTS. This is a yearbook filled with moments of laughter, excitement, friendship, triumph, and study. Although many of these moments appear insignificant, these are the things that make a year memorable. Whether you are cheering your team to victory or cramming for an exam, we hope that these will become treasured moments— for this is the end of the beginning. Debut 1 i .

Her attention has been focused primarily on the home economics program; however, every student has bene¬ fited from her endeavors. Directing the Miss. P.H. S. contest, sponsoring the annual fashion show, and keeping the first aid room immaculate are just a few of the activities she does that often go by unnoticed. For the unselfish attitude exhibited in these pursuits, the year¬ book staff dedicates this seventh edition of the Dragonian to Mrs. Sallie Horton. Mrs. Horton gives Barbara ' s dress a close inspection while Emily watches. Patsy gets helpful advice on how to walk, turn, and bow from Mrs. Horton during rehearsals for the Miss P,H,S, contest. 5 They instilled in us high ideals MR. H. G. JOHNSTON The annual staff, in behalf of our school, gratefully reserves this space to express its heartfelt appreciation to Mrs. J,S. Waters, Her retirement from our midst was a sad announcement at our 1965 commencement. Shortly after the passing of her husband, our former Chatham County Superintendent of Schools, she moved to Texas to be near their daughter. This is the first year that we can remember when she was not here to greet a section of first-graders on opening day. Children whom she taught considered it a coveted honor to be in Mrs. Waters ' room. Truly she is a most professional and dedicated teacher whose class room inspired her students and charmed her visitors. In recognition of his many years of teaching voca¬ tional agriculture at Pittsboro High School, the 1966 annual staff pays honorable tribute to Mr. H. G. Johnston. His retirement in 1965 shocked and saddened the entire school. Throughout his twenty-eight years of teaching here, he and his boys have been the recipients of many county, district, state, and national honors. His goal has been to develop every skill his boys could muster. His honors in and contributions to his church and com¬ munity cannot be enumerated. To us he is a man who loves life, and who likes to make all living things keep growing and improving. His landscaping of the school grounds and his planting of the rose garden stand as a living memorial to him for us and for future generations. MRS. J. S. WATERS 6 Debut (da bu): beginning, start, first appearance Beginnings, debuts, come to us every day, though we often fail to grasp their importance. Here are three beginnings—spiritual development, an academic debut, the first school day. 7 New students, new teachers, new . . . things-- Perhaps it is our rapid development itself that pre¬ vents us from understanding debuts. This simple action, this group of students, this addition to the school—all represent changes; and changes mark beginnings. 8 all these mark beginnings, debuts Surely we are prone to overlook the debuts of others. A new faculty member, a student new to the school, two young apprentices set onbecoming teachers—each is making a debut, a first appearance. 9 The Dragonian tells of debuts that we cherish most Most of us appreciate change for the better; We thrive in the spirit of im¬ provement, the excitement of dy n a m i c development, the challenge of reform. These juniors must outdo the seniors who will witness their debut; this committee aims to do old things better and new things well. 10 Notice them . . . and remember Look for debuts: Seek to notice, to be aware of, to understand, to appreci¬ ate. Social growth, development of loyalty, learning activity—n ot i c e, understand, appreciate these beginnings. But never forget the satisfaction that comes from resting after a day well lived, and strive to find even more grace in completion than in beginning. 11 ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY Very few students fully realize the importance of our administration and faculty. The tasks which these people perform day after day are of the utmost im¬ portance to the students. They are preparing us for the time when we must leave the familiar and face the un¬ known, The courses of study offered by a school are the controlling factor in the kind of education that a school offers. The curriculum is the medium through which students and faculty reach a mutual understanding and agreement. It is the means by which we train ourselves for a future and whatever vocation we choose. Parents are linked with faculty by means of the Parent- Teachers ' Association, of which Mr. LeRoy Self has so ably served as president this year. If we co-operate with the faculty, administration, and our parents, we shall be capable of facing the future with pride, assurance, and a good background. Administration paves the way to success ROY L. KIDD Principal During the school year, the administration has done much to improve our educational system. When our school is accredited, it will be the result of many hours of work done by Mr. Walter Dudley, Superintendent of Chatham County School; Mr. Perry Harrison, the new assistant Superintendent; Mr. Roy Kidd, Pittsboro High School Principal; and Mrs. Reba Torbert, Pittsboro School Secretary. WALTER R. DUDLEY Superintendent MRS. REBA TORBERT School Secretary Mr. Dudley confers with Mr. Kidd. PERRY HARRISON Assistant Superintendent 14 The library is our center of knowledge The library is the center of a stu¬ dent ' s academic activities. For help in any subject, a student finds himself going to the library. Mrs. Dorothy Yates and all the assistants are there ready and willing to answer any questions that may arise. Besides answering students ' questions, the librarians do anything from keeping the desk to cleaning the book shelves. Along with keeping the library in order, Mrs. Yates works many long, hard hours to see that the library is in the best possible condition for the students. No gift is more precious than good advice. Erasmus Our guidance counselor, Mrs. Mary Shotts, has worked many hours talking to the Seniors about college plans, helping the underclassmen work out problems, and always show¬ ing a kind word and smile. We, the students, really appreciate all she has done for us and all that she will con¬ tinue to do. Music hath charms to sooth the savage breast. Congreve The tliree music teachers devote their hours to musical training. Miss Yow is the band and chorus director for the entire county. Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Starnes instruct many piano students at the three Pittsboro Schools, and each puts on a recital in the spring. 15 Language is the framework of all knowledge Look who is using the card catalogue, our faithful English teachers. English is undoubtedly the most important part of the school ' s cur¬ riculum. The student must be able to understand what he reads and to explain what he knows, if he is to succeed in our educational system. Accordingly, emphasis in English is placed on grammar, vocabulary and spelling, and reading com¬ prehension. College-bound seniors may elect a course in creative writing, while seniors taking com¬ mercial courses may substitute Busi¬ ness English for English IV. DAISY HATLEY A. B., High Point English Freshman Sponsor MRS. ANNIE W. MAY B.S., E. Carolina College English, Health Physical Ed. Senior Sponsor Lab sessions, dialogues, and occasional projects complement grammar study in the French Department. With recently appropriated federal funds, the school has purchased a simple language laboratory, new French tapes, and additional supplementary books. Already con¬ sidered best in the county, our French Department has expanded its curriculum to include freshmen in French I. In 1968, French IV will be offered. Mrs. Kidd and eleven students are planning to study at the Lfniversity of Poitiers in La Rochelle, France, this summer. MRS. MARY W. RIGGSBEE A.B., U.N.C.-C.H.

Girls ' Basketball Junior Sponsor Mrs. Kidd and Peggy Jo discuss La Rochelle. 16 Relation between subjects is provided by Science and Math The New Math has wrought changes in curricula throughout the United States, and the math de¬ partment of our school has altered its courses accordingly. Although set notation, Venn diagraming, and number bases are still considered supplementary, their application is being taught in more advanced courses. The foundation for learn¬ ing, however, is classical math¬ ematics. College-preparatory courses include three years of al¬ gebra and one year of geometry. Business math and general math are courses for less advanced students. Only English is more important than the science of numbers. Not only is mathematics one of the keys to successful business, but it is also the rock on which the other sci¬ ences are built. Mrs. Greene and Mrs. Johnston try to impress on students how important math¬ ematics is to their careers. MRS. BERYL GREENE A.B., U.N.C. -G. Mathematics Junior Sponsor MRS. ETHEL JOHNSTON A.B., U.N.C.-G Mathematics Senior Sponsor Mrs. Wadsworth and Miss Scott prepare for their lab classes. SHIRLEY SCOTT B.S., E. Carolina College Science Beta Club Sophomore Sponsor MRS. MOZELLE M. WADSWORTH A.B., Meredith College Biology Cheerleaders Sophomore Sponsor With the addition of one teacher to the department, the expansion of laboratory facilities, and the adoption of a new series of text¬ books, instruction in the sciences has become more meaningful. Physical science has replaced the more elementary general science course. Chemistry and physics stu¬ dents conduct lab experiments more frequently than in past years. A new approach to biology was taken, with more emphasis on basic bio¬ logical processes. Advances in the science department reflect the added concern of our country for technological excellence. 17 ADRIAN ALLRED B.S., High Point College Economics, Physical Ed.

ESKRIDGE A.B., Meredith Social Studies Art Club, Senior Sponsor DAVID KITZMILLER A.B,, U.N.C.-C.H. Social Studies J. V. Football Freshman Sponsor Social Studies is an appreciation of the past Leading the student to understand democratic govern¬ ment is the primary concern of the social studies depart¬ ment. Civics, American democracy, and United States history give the student a broad, general knowledge of the American political system. Both U. S. history and world history are television courses that cover a large amount of information during the year. Parallel reading and a guide to the future and individual research are advised for these accelerated courses. An economics and sociology course is offered to seniors, and a geography course has been added to this year ' s curriculum. Mrs. Eskridge, Mr. Allred, Mr. Brooks, and Mr. Kitzmiller learn interesting historical facts from each other. 18 Learn to do, Nutrition, sewing, budgeting — these are a few of the basics taught in home economics. Almost every ' girl elects at least one course in the department ' s curriculum. In providing a truly liberal edu¬ cation for the young woman, Mrs. Horton includes instruction in poise, beauty, and etiquette. Added to this year ' s curriculum, the course in family living hopes to benefit both boys and girls in future years. Mrs. Horton finally got her desk ! WILLIAM SCOTT LUCAS B.S., N. C.

Sponsor MRS. SALLIE HORTON A.B., Meredith Home Economics F.H. A. Sophomore Sponsor do to learn, and look toward new horizons The two new Ag, teachers explore the workshop. The agriculture department, expanded to include two teachers instead of one, educates a large percentage of our young men in farming techniques and shop work. The high quality of the depart¬ ment ' s training is attested by the many awards that students have won over the past years in county, dis¬ trict, and state competition. 19 Preparation for the immediate future The student planning fora business career is offered two years of typing, two years of shorthand, and one year of office practice. On November 19, office practice and shorthand students visited U. N. C. - C.H. They were shown UNI VAC- 1105, duplication techniques, and a secretary ' s office. Typing is im¬ portant to college-bound students, tooj and many elect Typing I. Mrs. Gotten is taking a time writing. MRS. JOYCE GOTTEN B.S., Campbell College Commercial JOHN R. SHANER B. S., Albright College Basic Economics Marketing Bookkeeping Coach Films add much to the D. E. program. Distributive Education debuted this year under the leadership of Jack Shaner. Being a new course, D. E. deals mainly this year with marketing, designed to introduce a student to field goods and services and to the part that he or she can play upon graduation. It gives a student background in buying and selling, and includes speakers from the business communities and field trips to various businesses in all fields of distribution. It is hoped that this course will fill the great need in the business world today for adequately trained people in such areas as sal es personnel, stock clerks, and other employees nec¬ essary in business. In the future, part time employment in local businesses may be secured for each of the students taking second year marketing. At present, the pro¬ gram is set up for classroom work only. 20 To give of one’s self in service Many tasks go unnoticed and many people go unthanked for their services rendered to Pittsboro School. Among these are the jani¬ tors and the elementary and the primary lunchroom staffs. The janitors, who keep our school clean and warm, and the lunchroom staffs, who serve us nutritious food, aid us g r e a 11 y; for without their services our school could not function properly. Manley Cheek and Sol Milliken compose the maintenance staff of Pittsboro School. The elementary lunchroom staff consists of Juanita Milliken, Ethel Mae Milliken, Mabel Brooks, Flora Scurlock, Nettie Marsh, Mrs. Hazel Farrell, and Mrs. Prate Johnson. MRS. PRATE JOHNSON Elementary Dietitian Maude Baldwin, Mrs. Percy Howard, Patty Richardson, and Mrs. George Yates join together to form the primary lunchroom staff. MRS. GEORGE YATES Primary Dietitian 21 ACTIVIT Although the academic curriculum is generally con¬ sidered to be the main part of school life, extra curric¬ ular activities are becoming increasingly important to high school students. Club work offers a chance to cul¬ tivate interest and student participation, as w’ell as leadership and the ability to work with others. P.H, S. has succeeded in making extra curricular activities a vital and useful phase of school life. i i ' i BOB WACHS President On October 13, Student Council members journeyed to Mrs. Shotts ' s home for the monthly meeting which was followed by supper. An all male line-up dominates the Student Council The challenges facing the Council—like those that face the entire school—are great. The Student Council, though by nature not a school government, is the body elected by the students to promote the welfare of the pupil. The Council represents scholarship, leadership, character, and honesty. Serious matters are oftendiscussed at Council meetings. On the other hand, a meeting is usually pervaded by a friendliness and humor that only the young at heart are able to show.

LOUISE KIDD Advisor Mrs. Kidd watches over us as we prepare the ' 66 Dragonian . Many hours of hard work have gone into planning and assembling our 1966 Dragonian . There have been times when we thought things were impossible and have wondered whether we would meet our deadline. We have had the job of keeping the theme and the dedication a secret, of writing copy, taking pictures, laying out the annual, and walking the streets for ads. Although there have been many disagreeable moments, the yearbook staff hopes that each individual will consider this 1966 Dragonian the best ever. Mrs. Jo Walker and Mr. Satterwhite helped lay out the annual on October 8. 28 remember Tuesday nights and Thursday afternoons Worth Holleman, Linda Stoudenmire, W. C.

With the help of Mrs. Baxter Riggsbee, conscientious editors, proofreaders, typists, printers, and business manager publish monthly a school paper that the student body reads and enjoys. Sound Off and What If? are new articles anticipated by the student body. As in past years, the Christmas and spring editions are published in Siler City. From many viewpoints, the Dragon News of 1965- ' 66 appears to be a thriving little newspaper. One of Peggy ' s many jobs is to remind us that our articles are late. The Dragon News is brightened by the work of our talented artists. Wm 1 h ' 9 1 m W.Holleman, B. Wachs, P.J. Riddle, M. Gunter, S. Woody; L. M. Sexton, A. Butler, J. Harmon, L. Stoudenmire, M.

The Pittsboro High Little Theatre has grown to important significance in our school. Under the capable leadership of Mr. Sam W. White, the club has grown in membership to 65. Its productions of various plays throughout the year give students a chance to exercise their talents in the field of dra¬ matics. A Wornanless Wedding , its first production for 1965 in con¬ junction with the Key Club, was a huge success. Other productions are scheduled during the year beginning with a mystery entitled. Murder Takes the Stage . Sincere interest, devotion, and long hours of practice have contributed to making the Little Theatre both successful and an important asset to our school.

Along with the regular officers, there are special committees assigned different tasks. The Handbook Committee organized the first handbook for librarians that P.H. S. has ever had. From attending district meetings to partying at Christmas, the Library Club is well on its way to being one of the most active clubs in school. Library assistants help our school by doing everything from filing cards to putting up books. Librarians brighten the library by putting up meaningful bulletin boards. S. Goodman, J.

Oldham, Joe Thompson, David Morris, Mrs. Louise Kidd, Jackie Harmon, Margaret McAllister, Peggy Jo Riddle, Bill Farrell, Martha Gunter, Tim Hogan, Worth Holleman combine to form the French Club. Les Amis de la France is composed of the third year French students. Its main purpose is to enlighten students about France in areas other than grammar and oral French. This year the students have studied the lives of French composers such as Claude Debussy, Bizet, and Maurice Ravel, made an excursion to Greensboro to view L ' Annonce faite a Marie, and highlighted the yearwith French Day, a day set aside for the students to wear various costumes of French Provinces.

One of these is the organization of the Future Homemakers of America. The meetings of the F. H. A. are held the first Friday of every month in the home economics classes. All four classes join together to form the entire organization. An overall council meets outside of school to co¬ ordinate and conduct the club ' s business. Members travel to district and state meetings along with working to improve our school. Christmas decorations have becom e an annual contribution from the F.H.A. For the first year, the Future Homemakers elected a sweet¬ heart. The only qualifications required were that he be nice-looking and be a well-rounded and deserving individual. All in all, many use¬ ful learnings come to the girls through the F.H.A.

The boys take part in various contests such as soil judging, ritual parlia¬ mentary procedure, dairy-livestock, tool identification, and public speaking. Personal recognition comes through accomplishment in the four degrees in F.F.A. work: Green Hand, Chapter Farmers, State Farmers, and American Farmers, Highlights of the year are having the Father-Son Banquet and sending delegates to the State F.F.A.

Key Club serves community The Key Club, a service organization, has meant much to the school and community since its formation in the summer of 1964. Sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, the Key Club performs many worthwhile projects for the community and school. Throughout the year many money raising projects are carried out by the members, such as their participation in the play entitled A Womanless Wedding , which was a huge success. These funds are used to sponsor its activities during the year. Our Key Club is and certainly has proved itself a credit to both the school and community. The Student Directories, prepared by the Key Club, have proved very helpful to our students. Research, research. When do we debate? The Debate Club, advised by Sairi White, is in one of its most active years. This year ' s topic, labor and management relations, is an important one to our so¬ ciety.

Its members are avid history lovers and are looking forward to learning more of our local history. With Mr. Brooks as the advisor, the club is sure to learn some of the interesting facts about history that aren ' t recorded in history books. Even though the Art Club had a late start, its members joined together enthusiastically to form a very active organization. Guest speakers and planned lessons are main activities of the club. The Art Club provides an outlet for talent to students at Pittsboro High. Many rewarding experiences occur at the meetings. 41 In the honor section, we present those students whose excellence in various areas has set them apart. These individuals have become ideals to the rest of the student body. The students presented here should be proud and feel honored, but they should never forget the responsi¬ bility that is theirs. They must continue to prove them¬ selves worthy of these positions, now and after they leave school. Betas exemplify excellence of performance Twenty-four students have the honor of being members of the Beta Club. These students have shown outstanding qualities in their work, character, and ability to lead. The highlight of the two years in the Beta Club is the annual trip to Raleigh or Asheville. To the senior members who journeyed to Asheville last year goes the welcomed responsibility of showing the juniors the town of Asheville this year, since the convention has been scheduled there again. Although this highlight sounds like all fun, there is much preceding work to accomplish this goal. W.C.

They paraded for the audience in suits and evening dresses. Patsy White, Jenny Morrison, Betty Sue Boone, Wilma Clark, Gail Parks, and Jean Sanders were the six finalists. Patsy White was chosen as the new Miss P. H. S. with Jenny Morrison as first runner-up. Miss Lee County, Merle Haithcox, presented Patsy with a dozen red roses; and Miss P.H. S. of 1964, Frances White, crowned the new Miss P. H. S. We are all honored to have Patsy as Miss P.H. S. of 1965. For beauty and charm, students elect Valentine Queen During Twerp Week in February, 1965, Donna Goodwin was elected Valentine Queen. Sybil Gardner, Betty Sue Boone, and Irene Faircloth composed the Twerp Court. Donna, along with these other girls, adds much to the halls of Pittsboro High, 47 New girl wins hearts of football players This year a new girl in town stole our hearts. Sharon Farrell was elected by the football players as the 1965 Homecoming Queen. She was crowned by Carlene Meacham, last year ' s queen. Sharon was chosen from a field of eight beautiful girls. She has a wonderful personality, and we are all happy to have her as our Homecoming Queen. SHARON FARRELL, 1965 Homecoming Queen 48 Seven lovely lassies give beauty to the Homecoming Festivities On Friday, October 1, 1965, P. H. S. celebrated its annual Homecoming Game. During the half-time, the representatives of the classes were paraded around the football field in convertibles. The automobiles stopped in front of the spectators and the court was pre- sented by the football players. From the eight lovely- girls, a Homecoming Queen was chosen.

David Morris was awarded a four-year tuition scholarship to U. N,C.-C, H, when he won the 1965 North Carolina State French Contest. 55 Athletics, as well as activities and curriculum, play an important role in our high school. Sports represent accomplishment for w ' hich the body must have extensive training. Athletics demand a combination of physical skill and strength, an alert mind, enthusiasm, purpose, and teamwork. We take great pride in our Pittsboro athletes because they exhibit, all these qualities in abundance. Even more important, however, is the attitude w’ith w ' hich they play the game; they play hard in order to win, but they respect their opponents and accept defeat gracefully. 57 Despite injuries and loss of valuable lettermen, Mr. Allred holds the football while Mr. Shaner prepares for the kick. Our faithful coaches put a kick in our unfavored team. They gave the boys the incentive that pulled them through a 5-5 sea¬ son. P. H.S. ' s football season started rather slowly, but the Dragons showed their determination and spirit by passing a 5-5 overall season record. This was sighted as a year for rebuilding, after losing nine lettermen through graduation last year. However, our team was rebuilt and has shown many exhibitions of fine football. The record of 4-4 in conference play tied us for fourth place. Next year ' s team promises to be conference championship material with fifteen lettermen returning, the greatest number in recent years, to don P. H.S. ' s colors. As our season has ended, we say good luck to next year ' s boys lost through graduation, knowing they have many wonder¬ ful memories of their days at P. H. S. spent on the grid¬ iron. W.C. and Barry carry off their loyal managers—Tommy, the doctor, and Steve, the waterboy. 58 the Dragons record 5-5 season J. Thompson, D. Knight, R. Suttles, S. Whitaker, T.

H. S. on September 3 as the Dragons dropped their opener 28-6. Lillington ' s superb defense yielded only one touchdown to the Dragons as Jimmy Tilley scored on a 12-yard run in the fourth quarter. P.H.S. vs. BOONE TRAIL P.H. S. ' s second game on September 10 also ended in a defeat 36-7. Boone Trail ' s tremendous offense proved too much for the Dragons. P.H.S. ' s only score was con¬ tributed by Jimmy Tilley on a 1-yard plunge after he intercepted a Boone Trail pass on the Dragon 18-yard line and returned it a total of 81 yards. Ray Stone added the P. A. T. P.H.S. vs. MAXTON On September 17, P.H.S. found the going extremely rough as they lost 38-0 to Maxton. Although the fans were disappointed at our Dragons ' performance, the sub¬ stitutes were able to gain valuable experience throughout the second half. Individual abilities combine P.H.S. vs. COATS The rainy atmosphere of September 14 didn ' t cool the fiery breaths of the Dragons as P.H.S. won its first game of the season 14-6. P.H.S. ' s first touchdown came on a bomb throw from Horton to Campbell covering 72 yards; the P.A.T. was added by Stone. The third quarter saw Stone galloping 68 yards through Coat ' s line for P.H.S. ' s second touchdown with Horton adding the P.A.T. P.H.S. vs. CHATFIAM CENTRAL P.H. S. ' s Homecoming Game on October 1 proved to be a very exciting one for the Dragon ' s fans as P.H.S. defeated a favored Chatham Central team 26-13. The Bears found the high-spirited Dragons too much to cope with as Central lost its first game of the season. Stone scored twice and added one P. A. T. on a run of two yards, and was on the receiving end of a 78 yard pass from Horton. J. Tilley scored on a 34 yard run, and Horton rounded out the scoring on a 79 yard punt return. RONALD HORTON Junior Quarterback REID MARKHAM Junior Guard JAMES GOODMAN Junior Guard COLBY TILLEY Junior Halfback 60 to form a successful team P.H,S. vs. RAMSEUR On October 8, P. H.S. built up a 13-0 halftime lead with Stone scoring on a 21-yard run: the P.A.T. failed. The Dragons ' second touchdown was scored by J. Tilley on a 6-yard run with Stone adding the point after. R a m s e u r made a strong comeback the second half and scored 14 points, upsetting the Dragons 14-13. P.H.S. vs. GREENWOOD P. H.S. shined on October 15 inoffensive ability as the Dragons outscored Greenwood 32-26, in an offensive battle. P. H.S. ' s offensive punch was provided by Horton passing to Pendergraft, C. Tilley, and Campbell for 14, 40, and 20 yards respectively. C. Tilley also scored on an 11-yard run, and J. Tilley added two P.A.T. ' s, giving P.H.S. its total of 32 points. W.C. OLDHAM RAY SUTTLES Senior Tackle Sophomore Linebacker MITCHELL WILLIAMS Junior Defensive Halfback JIMMY TILLEY Junior Halfback P.H.S. vs. ANGIER On October 22, P.H.S. once again showed its of¬ fensive power as the Dragons defeated the Bulldogs 27-7. Angler ' s defense was unable to contain the fiery Dragons as Parker and C. Tilley ran for touchdowns of 10 and 40 yards respectively. The Horton-Campbell combination accounted for two touchdowns covering 66 and 67 yards. Stone contributed three P.A.T. ' s. FREDDY CHRISCO ROBERT LEWTER Junior Wingback Sophomore Tackle P.H.S. vs. LIBERTY P.H.S. took the field on October 29 and showed it meant business as Horton passed to Campbell foi ' a 62- yard pass-run touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. This was the first touchdown scored on Liberty in con¬ ference play, and the Bulldogs showed their disapproval as they went on to out-score the Dragons 32-6. P.H.S. vs. RAMSEUR On November 5, P.H.S. showed its comeback ability in its last game to beat Ramseur in their second meeting of the season by a score of 20-7. The Dragons played superb football and combined their offense and defense beautifully. Scoring for the Dragons was Stone on two touchdown runs of 20 and 69 yards, Horton on a sweep of 18 yards. J. Tilley and Stone each added a P.A.T. to round out the scoring. 61 J. V. Football provides experience for underclassmen P.H.S. ' s first year of Junior Varsity football proved to be a very successful one, recording an undefeated season under the capable leadership of its coach, David Kitzmiller. Playing a schedule of five games, our J. V. ' s were unscored upon all season, defeating other J.V. teams handily. First to fall victim was Ramseur by a score of 44-Oj Chatham Central fell twice to our J.V. ' s by scores of 28-0 and 20-0. Wins were also recorded over Liberty and Ramseur. Our team deserves much credit and respect for its ex¬ cellent season, showing us that our future varsity is in good hands. D. Cooper, L. Smith, T. Parks, J. Shaw, R. Eubanks, Coach- S. Thomas, B.

Mary Thomas Martha Neal Senior Senior In the Chatham Central versus Pittsboro game, alert re¬ sponse from her teammates encourages Peggy Dickens to Jump even higher for the ball. Louise Strickland Donna Goodwin Senior Senior and then victory”. With high hopes and ambitions, the Varsity girls be¬ gan the 1965-66 season. Starting off strongly, they bowed to Apex with a narrow score of 25-21. Although they lost the next two games, one by another close score, the Dragonettes pulled through to win their first game of the year by downing Deep Fliver 40-32, Continuing to play their best, they won their second game over Deep River by a score of 31-17. With future games to play, the Dragonettes are more determined than ever. Under the coachmanship of Jack Shaner, the Dragon¬ ettes have improved their playing ability tremendously. With several new players, some transferred from Moncure High School, the team played to the best of their ability. Four Dragonettes will graduate this year, leaving the re¬ maining team in hope of a bright season next year. Peggy Dickens Junior Sadie Farrell Sophomore Sandra Cash Junior Elizabeth Senkiw Junior 65 The Varsity boys; the captain, Worth Holleman; and the coach, Adrian Allred, strive to plan a winning move for the Pittsboro Dragons, A blend of speed and With sore muscles from long hours of hard practice, the Pittsboro High Varsity boys began the 1965-66 basketball year with anticipation of a winning season. The loss of valuable lettermen last year did not seem to bother the spirit of the team. The Pittsboro Dragons re¬ mained undefeated until they reckoned with the Chatham Central Bears. The first game, with Apex, was won by a score of Worth Holleman comes through with another lay-up, thus adding two points to P, H. S. ' s score. timing, a blur of motion, 39-30. Greenwood was downed next with a count of 71-34. Another game with the fired-up Apex team let the Dragons barely escape with a 52-51 victory. The Dragons made its two conference wins in a row as they whipped Deep River ' s Demonless Demons rather handily by a 77-52 count. Other exciting games were played with the Dragons winning many of them. P, H. S. closed with a very satisfactory season.

S., many hopeful and inexperienced boys came out on the first day to try out for positions on the track and field team. After many hours of strenuous practice, the team was confronted with its first track meet. The first meet was held on the Pittsboro track field. Our opponent was everyone ' s common foe, the Siler City Blue Phantoms. Although our boys gave a tremendous effort, the Phantoms showed more strength in more events than P. H. S. j there¬ fore, dealing the Dragons their first loss. Later in the spring, Pittsboro ' s second meet took place. This time the Blue Dragons traveled to Angier, N. C., to take on the Angier Bulldogs. Once again the Dragons showed a great desire to take their first victory of the season. Every event was close dov n to the final wire, but the final tally Jimmy, I feel lucky today because I see a four leaf clover in front of my right big toe. showed P. H. S. running second to Angier. The third and final meet was held at Siler City. The Siler City Blue Phantoms were the host team to a four team meet. Pre¬ sent at this meet were Pittsboro, Siler City, Wadesboro, and East Montgomery. Knowing this was the final meet of the season, P. H. S. fought a valiant fight in hopes of upsetting the other three schools. In the final tabulation, P. H. S. found that it had secured the lowly fourth place position. There was one bright consolation even though the Blue Dragons suffered their third straight defeat of the season. Five points provided the margin between Pittsboro and the winner, Siler City. Although P. H.S. suffered three defeats in as many track and field meets, the Blue Men of P. H. S. gained valuable experience and training for the next track season. R. Suttles, R. Kremer, J.

The 1965 Baseball Team was one long to be re¬ membered. Ability, experience, and the willingness to win enabled the team to wind up their season as con¬ ference champions. They were the runners-up in the exciting conference tournament, and to top it all, de- feated a team in the District Play-offs. Even though several players graduated last spring, chances look hope¬ ful for another winning team this year.

The student ' s social life becomes more important and takes more of his time; he makes new friends and meets new people; and he belongs to a certain group and to the student body. However, high school is more than a place for social activities, for meeting people, and for belonging. High school prepares a student for the future and the life which he will lead after graduation. During these years, a stu¬ dent becomes aware of his potential and his responsibil¬ ities, and decides what he will become when he leaves his familiar high school life and takes his place in a strange, new world. In Memoriam of Marvin Wayne Eubanks (1948-1965) Marvin accepted everything life had to offer and gave as much in return. He brought joy to the hearts of many. Always smiling, he enjoyed life in its simplest forms. Things did not have to be complicated and fancy. In fact, he preferred them not to be. Marvin lived a full rich life for the sixteen years given him. His seat in school has been filled, but the places he held in our hearts will always be empty. Marvin was a son, a brother, and a friend to be proud of and remembered forever. 76 Seniors BEVERLY WARD BLAND WILLIAM ERWIN BROWN MIKE CAMPBELL DOROTHY ANN BLUE KENNETH BOULDIN ANITA LOUISE BUTLER WAYNE CAMPBELL The trustworthy officers of the Senior class are Betty Jean Griffin, Treasurer; Martha Gunter, Secretary; Joe Thompson, President; Tommy Clegg, Vice- President; Worth HoIIeman, Sgt. -at-Arms. 77 WILLIAM CLIFTON CARTER Class rings, summer, seniority, schedules, Lavergne’s, NANCY CARROLL DANIEL BETTY JEAN COUNCIL WALTER RAE DUDLEY, JR.

With this new technique and the wonderful novel of Silas Marner, the sophomore class should be well prepared for its upcoming junior year.

The knowledge he gains in grades one through eight will prove to be the basis of all that he does throughout his entire life. The discipline he receives, the habits he forms, the knovvledge he ac¬ quires, and the ideals that he accepts will remain with him for the rest of his life.

All the problems of its production are just a memory—fatiguing days of ad selling, embarrassment of scheduling pictures again and again, long after-school hours of writing and rewriting copy, copy, and more copy, monotonous click of the typewriter, tedious task of proofreading, and above all, little disagreements among staff members.lt hasn ' t been all work; the common goal of everyone has been reached—the best Draqonian ever. The realization of this book could not have been possible without the guidance and understanding of our advisor, Mrs. Louise Kidd. The yearbook staff is greatly indebted to her and to everyone else for their patience during our many afternoon and night sessions. To us on the staff, this book is more than just another yearbook. It represents hard work, hectic days and nights, and happy moments. During the last days before the final deadline, it was a way of life. This is the end of the work of the staff of ' 66; it is merely the beginning of the staff of ' 67. Pittsboro High says goodbye to one class and hello to another. All the thoughts, feelings, failures, and triumphs of both faculty and students fade into memories as one year ends and another approaches. The 1966 Draqonian Staff says goodbye to their year and hello to a new one- leaving to it and the new staff all the problems and heart-felt moments of producing a yearbook. The year has been too short and yet too long. .. 152 CD l - ) , j JU .j- T Jajl Jrudr Ajul l..a4co ajl (JJ if V .£cccji o ' -t ycicot cl dM-ii- ' X ' iXA oS-ei l .
