: 3 THE REBEL ’72 VOLUME XII POLK CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL MILL SPRING, N.C. Go placidly ... Amid the noise and haste And remember ... What peace there may be in silence Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vex- ations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may be- come vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not stress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. There- fore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspira- tions, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to.be happy. (Found in Old Saint Paul’s Church, Baltimore; Dated 1692. fede Malitr eres fea Pesas i i y wher ttes eae, | Sebienesstesti i ' i | | | savage Neither be cynical about love... With time seemingly — slipping through his fingers the individual often finds himself glancing back over his shoulder, wondering where all the years have gone. However, as progression in wisdom and know- ledge comes, he discovers what peace of mind there may be in look- ing toward the future. To look for- ward, to hope, to strive to achieve one’s innermost desires and dreams, this is the choice, the goal, the life of each individual. Joy your En achievements, as well as your plans OFFS OR WK Barccy Nurture strength of spirit. .. Sa + hte AN os o Lae ae , Re ee s , : es et ea Se4 F ainee 7 Contents Acagemics..... G@lasses........

MAURICE WOOD With half of their school life at Polk Central over the class of '73 entered their junior year with a great year ahead of them., The class of ’73 the largest at Polk Central accounted for most of the participation in clubs, sports, and other extracurricular activities. The juniors found 11th grade subjects harder than those of prior years as they met face to face with U.S. History and English III. As always the biggest project of the 11th grade is the Junior-Senior. A record magazine sale and sever- al stationery orders provided most of the money for the upcoming dance and banquet. Class rings and a Junior Class Play made this a year to remember for the class of '73. Junior Class Officers, President, David Giles; Vice President, Sherry Owens; Secretary, Pat Shannon; and Treasurer, Cynthia McEntyre talk over plans for the Junior Senior. 50 Stanley Bailey Patricia Bailey Barbara Blackwell Terry Allen Tony Blackwell Wayne Bolt Clifford Bradley Mavis Atkins Connie Blackwell Susie Blackwell Laura Bridgeman Patricia Briscoe Susan Arledge Loretta Bailey Gail Burgess Jo Burnett Bethene Burrell Donna Calvert Judy Case Beverly Cash Frankie Camp Calvin Carson Brenda Covington Susan Cranford Theresa Crisp Eleanor Davis 52 Teresa Durham Debbie Fisher Lionel Gilbert George Griswold Sandy Henson Terry Durham Linda Garrett David Giles Paul Griswold Camellia Hill Chuck Edwards Karen Gary Ricky Giles Jerry Halford Dethaniel Hines Joe Elliot Faye Gilbert Randy Greene Sandra Halford Dennis Hines Thomas Elliot Joe Gilbert Ricki Green Keith Harris Bobby Holbert ti ee OR ot - ae 2 Bk ws) RS rrr. = A yz : Wesley Holbert Janet Horne Randy Hudson Diane Jackson Jean Honeycutt Patsy Cluberth Horton Terry Hudson Terressa Jackson Renee Johnson Verbus Logan Arbutus McEntyre Gerald McEntire Deborah Mills Anita Jolley Mary Ann Lowrance Cynthis McIntyre Marla McSwain James Nance Dale Lawter Don Lynch Parnell McEntyre Beverly Metcalf Billy Neal Carvin Logan Sharon Lynch Catherine McEntyre Albert Miller Geneva Green Nelon Jeanette Logan Joy Manning Deena McIntyre Hattie Miller Jan Newman Lou Ormand Cleo Padgett Billy Price David Searcy Freda Sheehan Sherrie Owens Elaine Page Carron Prince Glenn Searcy David Simpson Gail Owensby Annette Parton Buddy Raines Paul Searcy Gary Simpson 56 Joe Pace Vera Petty Wanda Reid Steve Searcy Mable Simpson Chet Pack Doris Phillips David Roddy Pat Shannon Cathy Sinclair Ronnie Skipper Janice Steppe Shirlene Vogel Norma Watson.

The year of '71-’72 brought much relief to the class of '74 as they took the big step from being “dumb fresh- men” to the responsible position of sophomores. Along with the priviledge the sophomores entered the new year enthusiastically involved in school activ- ities, sports, and clubs. They worked hard trying to earn money to prepare for the finances of future events.

After the first few hectic days of locating lockers and classrooms and making their way through halls filled with “upperclassmen”, fresh- man realized that it was all just another milestone to be studied and conquered. They began their quest by becoming involved in many different school functions and _partici- pating actively in all the fund-raising projects. Two main accomplishments were to attain first place in the fall candy sale and _ first place in the Intramural basketball tournament. As the year passed, the initial thrill of being new high school students began to pass but they began to settle down and realize that this was really their school and _ that the activities and responsibilities of it would eventually fall into place.

The team play record was improved upon by 16 strokes, from 324 to 308, as Mike Shannon set a new individual record of one-under par, 71. At the end of the season Polk Central had three men, Mike Shannon, Ricky Pate and, Reggie McEntire, to qualify for the sec- tional tournament at Maggie Val- ley. Shannon placed second in- dividual and gained a berth for the State finals at Chapel Hill, where he placed ninth. With no one graduating, P.C. is expecting an exceptionally strong team for ‘72.

With a well-balanced combination of offense, de- fense, and a good kicking game, the Polk Central foot- ball team finished with a record of 7 wins and 3 de- feats. This record proved good enough to place third in the new Blue Ridge Conference. Being in the new conterence gave the team added incentive to work hard and make themselves winners. Having gone to football camp for the first time this year helped the boys work and be together as a team. However, four individual records were set. Opening the season, P.C. won its first game with a 42-0 victory over the Salem Tigers. The second game found Central pitted against the Landrum Cardinals. In a hard fought game the team had to bow to the visiting Cardinals. Losing only to Spruce Pine and Edneyville, in six of the next eight games the team displayed an explosive offense and hard hitting defense. Included in these games was a 26-6 victory over arch-rival Tryon High School, to win the Polk County Championship. At the end of the season, Polk Central was ranked 10th in Western North Carolina, a first for P.C. Coach Taylor realizes that a little rain must fall in every- — one’s ballgame.

Boys’ Basketball The boys basketball team started the year with hopes of coming into the new Blue Ridge Conference with flying colors. Although the team was small in number and short in height they made up for it in the hustle they put into every game. Their record of 6 wins and 16 losses might not have been too im- pressive but most of their games were lost by slim margins. Ricky Harris was selected to the All-Tournament and_ All-Confer- ence teams. Next year should be much more exciting with five of the eight play- ers returning.

Because its economy is growing by leaps and bounds, producing new job opportunities in both business and agriculture. Too, you'll find technical and higher education facilities second to none. So, come graduation time, stick around. You won't find a better place to live, work and play. Duke Power Sp DONCASTER OF N.C. Compliments of DONCASTER Rutherfordton, North Carolina 138 You claim you travel to a drummer with a different beat . . . that your parents don’t understand or dig the bag you're in. . . Hold it! We are not trying to jump on your case or put you down. But look at this side of the coin... We'd Like a Few Friendly Words with You: WHAT'S ALL THIS BIT ABOUT A GENERATION GAP? Pardon us, if we sound as though we’re preaching about the so-called “generation gap.” We don’t intend to sermonize. Because, we know that young men and women like yourselves have learned a lot—and are determined to learn a lot more, preferably without any lectures from the older generation. But we’re against “gaps’”—generation or otherwise. And we suggest that we all gain from the insights and progress made by those who’ve lived before us. 1 Consider these factors: YOUR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS are the people, within just five decades, who have helped in- | crease your life expectancy by almost 50% . . . while reducing the working day by one-third, and doubling our nation’s per capita output. THESE SAME PEOPLE have lived through history’s greatest depression. Many know what it is to be really poor, to be hungry, cold, sick, uneducated. Because of this knowledge, chances are they were determined— though they may never have told you so—that yours would be a better world. . . that you'd have greater i opportunities to succeed than they. = SSS | BECAUSE OF THEM, you will work fewer hours. Learn more. Have more leisure time. Travel to more dis- tant places. And have more of a chance to follow your life’s ambition. THESE SO-CALLED “UNTOGETHER PEOPLE” made a start, perhaps a late one, in nealing the scars of the earth . . . eliminating pollution, fighting racial discrimination. They’ve done many things. And they have had some failures. They have not found an antedote to war or hatred. AND WHILE WE CONGRATULATE YOU on the milestone you've just reached. We also by indirection con- gratulate your parents and their parents. | WE HOPE YOU'LL SHARE OUR VIEWPOINT. We hope you'll build on past progress instead of magnifying | any so-called generation gap! As you take your place in the adult world, you’ll want to benefit from the work that’s gone on before you. And you'll want to add to the progress of mankind. That’s what life is really all about. | GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY 6 EN FRAL FLECTR i C Lighting Systems Business Department, Hendersonville, N.
