THE NEW FRONTIER AS RECORDED IN . . . Sll! . t m ty ' THE 1963 ) ROCKET Published By The Annual Staff Of ROXBORO HIGH SCHOOL Roxboro, North Carolina m. ■ iiiiiiuiainiiiiiisi CONTENTS Education . 8 Personalities . 18 Participation . 88 Competition . 114 Highlights . 140 Selection . 150 Students Mature Something indefinable places our school among those at the top, instills in the student body a desire to excel, and encourages each individual to explore and develop his talent, to advance with progressing educational opportunities, and to become a contributing member of society. This year, 1963, not only brings the old phases of school life--studies, social activities and extracurriculars but also new ideas, new experiences, new goals. The total of these influence the molding of each student into a complete individual, a repre¬ sentative of the overwhelming challenge of the New Frontier at Roxboro High School. Mr. Rogers assigns homerooms to begin the new year, 1963. Mr. Barrett introduces sine and consine to seniors in trigonometry. Miss Flowers instructs the basketball team during practice. 4 Through The Challenges Of The New Frontiers The school day starts in the office. Sonny Long sweeps around the end against Chapel Hill. As school reopens, we are presented the challenges of a new year--rules and regulations, curriculum, new teachers, and new athletic rivalry. During the summer Roxboro High School was enlarged to accommodate the growing claso- es through the addition of five classrooms. A mobile French lab was installed for the better¬ ment of our foreign language department. New books have arrived for new subjects. A new wing has been built to the gym for more dressing rooms. This year is launched with all the spirit and vigor that usually accompanies a year at Roxboro High School, but 1963 is different. It is a new year distinguished by the New Frontier. 5 Extracurriculars Lighten School grinds on, and the tortures of a school year make themselves known. A chem- istry test crushes any hope for making an A . Students, waiting in a long lunch line, discuss Monday morning miseries. A practice mile run sicKens an athlete of an exhausting track practice. The end of each semester brings us to the time of cramming and worrying, EXAMS. But, a year at Roxboro High is fashioned around exciting extracurricular activities. Governor Sanford visits us to encourage us to better our nation by bettering ourselves. A sock hop follows a rousing hardwood victory. The band strives to perfect its annual concert. The long awaited day of graduation appears close at hand with the arrival of ANNUALS. Felix Alley puts the shot for the Rocket cindermen. Queen Joanne Fitzgerald and Buck Harris enjoy the Homecoming Dance. 6 The Burdens Of The School Year Bobby Knott and Jimmy Stovall vitalize a study period. Underclassmen rise as Seniors march into assembly. Representatives discuss Student Council projects for the year. Our teachers become unforgettable friends as they lead us to New Frontiers-- preparing us for the future, encouraging the development of our talents, rejoicing in our achievements, empathizing in our fail¬ ures.

The enlargement of the faculty enables Roxboro High to offer college algebra for the first time; solid geometry is combined with plane geometry, also. The old band room is being used as class¬ rooms, and two new classrooms are being built for English and science classes. French students are enjoying a new lab for improving their language orally and aurally. With better equipment our teachers can more readily prepare us for the future. 12 Science, And Culture In History Mrs. Hamlet diagrams an atom for a beginning chemistry class. Mr. J. Leon Cook, A.

The Rocket Newspaper informs the students The ROCKET newspaper holds the respon¬ sibility of informing its readers of current events. This includes not only front-page news and sports events, but also feature articles and club news. Editorials provide a means through which the newspaper staff may express opinions on popular subjects. As a ’’voice of the people, the newspaper also is responsible for creating an interest in writing. Students have the opportunity to write articles and see them corrected to provide clearer meaning and objectiveness. After writ¬ ing two articles for the paper, a student may become a reporter. The ROCKET Staff is composed of sopho¬ more, junior, and senior students who have worked on the paper. The work of the staff in¬ volves advertising, soliciting ads, photograph¬ ing, arranging layouts, and supervising the writing of reporters. Students learn to build an effective method of publishing a newspaper and to meet a deadline. It is in a staff meeting that the wheels of progress start . . . that is, the actual work of publishing a paper begins. A model dummy is made of the ROCKET, and articles and pictures are arranged to both look pleasing and to fit each page correctly. The articles are written, checked, and sent to the printer. After the print is set, the printed paper is placed in the hands of the staff. Each student is given a free copy. Several copies of the paper are sent to be judged and graded at numerous press conven¬ tions. The ROCKET generally has received an above average rating. 92 Rocket Advisor, Mrs. Knight.

This work experience must take place in a laboratory which is called a Training Station. Here the student is placed under the guidance of the manager or some other person appointed for the task of guiding the student and teaching him the actual art of selling and other related work in a wholesale or retail establishment. 97 OFFICERS: ROW 1: President, Kathy Walker; Advisor, Mrs. Weldon.

The Rockets have little trouble in disposing of the three remaining conference competitors. This rounds out two years of unbeaten conference competition for the gridironers. The Rockets lose the final game of the season to the powerful Lumberton team in the semi-finals of the state playoffs. This completes a successful season to be long remembered by players and students alike at Roxboro High School.
