Volume III ■A ' ‘ 5 ' WHAT IS STI? WHAT IS SAMPSON TECHNICAL INSTITUTE? EACH PERSON WHOSE LIFE IT HAS TOUCHED HAS A DIFFERENT RESPONSE. TO passers by it is a school building 8 miles north of Clinton on U. S. 421. TO elementary and high school dropouts it is a second chance --a new opportun- ity to recoup earlier losses and brighten the future for themselves and their families. TO high school graduates it is further study close to home in easy reach. TO adults it is evening classes that provide social contact and opportunities to learn everything from stretch ' n sew and ceramics to more advanced reading skills and bookkeeping, TO college students it is two years of low cost transfer credit earned while living at home . TO students learning marketable vocational skills it is carpentry classes and auto mechanics and air conditioning and plumbing. TO the instructors it is a challenge to meet and fulfill the special needs of a student body composed of individuals who differ widely, in age, ambition, learning ability, and social and cultural background. TO the adhainistrators it is building a new school and making it work — planning and co- ordination and adjusting programs and building new ones and correcting mistakes. TO Tar Heel legislators it is one of 54 people — centered institutions of higher learning designed to improve the quality of life and lift the eco - nomic potential of the state, TO educators it is one example of a movement growing by leaps and bounds throughout the entire national making lifelong learning for the American million a reality. TO the people of Sampson County it is a concerned effort to extend learning opportunities to all — to those who have succeeded in school and those whose first learning years were scared by dis- appointment anf failure, to old and young, to property owners and welfare recipients, to white and black and Indian -- at reasonable cost and within driving distance of home. SAMPSON TECHNICAL INSTITUTE IS 18 INSTRUC- TORS, 9 ADMINISTRATORS, 168 STUDENTS, and 6 SECRETARIES AND CLERICAL WORKERS. IT IS AN EDUCATION IDEA AIMED AT DELIVERING MEANING- FUL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL TO THE FRONT DOORSTEPS OF SAMPSON COUNTY CITIZENS. JACKSC Only occasionally does a teacher come along in whose work is combined the qualities of personal dedication, compe- tence, and an immense charm and popularity. When such a rare person enters upon the scene, the atmo- sphere at school brightens — going to class isn’t quite so humdrum. This edition of DAY’S EYE is dedicated to such an individual. Long hours of hard work coupled with an unbelievable versatility have char- acterized her two years with students at STI. An accounting instructor by train- ing, her teaching assignments have taken her into far broader areas of learning. She has taught business mathematics, En- glish, marketing, and accounting in the day school divi- sion. In addition, her evening classes attract many adults interested in enlarg- ing their scope of learning. Her service as faculty advisor for the DAY’S EYE has become a badge of education and personal sacrifice; few instructors would dare venture near such a mammoth under- taking. Through it all she has not despaired, nor has her friendly smile darkened. What appears a withering challenge is met full face. Her approach is marked by deter- mination and tacit conviction that this, too, shall pass. It is with a sense of grateful devotion that the 1969-70 edition of DAY’S EVE is dedicated to Mrs. Darlene H. Jackson. I WHO is the STI student ? He is an individual with his own ideas, dreams, and aspirations. Just as there is no such thing, as a truly average person, there is no truly average STI student. Each person sees things through his own eyes, and reacts according to a pattern uniquely his own. WHY is the STI student here ? There are almost as many reasons as there are students enrolled in the school, Most students would agree, however, that the most important reason for their being here is that they Want to be prepared for a desired field of work. Thus the motto Enter to learn, leave to Earn. Whether the student is in Air Conditioning, Business, Welding, or any other program, he is at Sampson Tech because it makes his plans for the future more attainable. WHAT does the STI student do during his stay at Sampson Tech? The activities are as varied as the programs offered by the school. There are numerous learning experiences available, whether in the shop, classroom, or laboratory. The student finds that an especially rich course of learning is in his associations With other students. WHEN does the student receive any reward for the hours of his life that he has invested in STI? This is a question to which there is no sure or easy answer. Much depends upon what the student does with what he has learned, and his outlook upon life. Life has much to offer to those who are prepared. But, more importantly, those who are prepared have much more to offer society. The student receives his reward when he finds himself able to live his life to its fullest potential. WHERE does the STI student go when he finishes his chosen course of Studies? The day of departure comes all too soon, and the schoolday becomes a thing of the past. The world beckons, and the call is answered, The student ventures forth, perhaps cautiously at first, but later in confident studies. He goes out, perhaps for the first time , to look the world squarely in the face and says, World I am ready! Such a person is truly beyond defeat. WHO is the STI student? He is anyone whom STI has taught a lesson in living, and has been helped along the way in his search for rich, full meaning in his life. 8 9 LEAVE What am I going to do after high school? . . . Must apply to Sampson Tech . . . What will it be like? . . . Who else has enrolled? . . . What will I be prepared to do after I complete the program there? . . . I applied and I have been accepted!!! ... World, here I come!!! . . . What do you do at registration? . . . What are these 0. P.’s I keep hearing about?. . . . Never heard of a cut system ... If anxiety is fear of the unknown, man I’m anxious! !! . . . Who are these weirdo’s who were in- troduced at the assembly yesterday? . . . I wonder if you call them “Professor?” . . . Hi, Prof . . . How do you ever find your way from one class to the next? . . . This class schedule is bad news . . . I’m getting settled . . . The other students are really great!!! . . . And, you know those weirdo’s aren’t weirdo’s after all . . . Man, I’m glad I came here! STUDY The good student becomes such through consciously ap- plying himself and spending much time in serious study. There is a time for play but there is, also, much more time for work. Study isn ' t a bad word. After all, it is what being a student has its rewards. Study becomes a bad work only when it is neglected and the results of that neglect begin to diow. Of what value is study other than to obtain satis- factory grades ? It teaches the student to discipline himself and to budget his time wisely. If study can accomplish this for the student, then it represents worthwhile effort, indeed. As impossible as it may seem, some students are able to make study fun. Some make it fun simply by ignoring it, but they are surely in the minority. Some students find it enjoyable to study with their favorite stereo tape playing in the background. Others find study more appealing when they munch on a hamburger, or other favorite nourishment. Study cannot be made painless, but many students have found that they can, through imagination, make it more bearable. For the student, stuy becomes a way of life. We have been told that anything worth having is worth working for. Herein lies the value of study. It can be looked upon as a stepping stone to a better life, and in so doing, it can be accepted with more zeal and determination. RELAXATION i The STI student spends long, hard hours in class each day, and free time is eagerly- anticipated because it affords an opportunity to recover from the hustle and bustle of work. Each student uses his free time in his own way; some even use it as a time to study. Whatever the means of relaxation, it forms a vital part of campus life. 14 15 ACTIVITIES CREATORS OF YOUR YEARBOOK Advi sors : Miss Darlene Jackson Miss Pamela McDaniel Mr. Dalton Mayo Editor: Mary Grey Jackson Co-Editors: Betty Sutton David ' Cashwell Business Manager: Larry Smith Layout Editor: Dorthory Avery Photography: Rod Ricks Photography Assistant: Herman Warren Typist: Connie Livingston Ad Sales: Annette Jackson Jimmy Daughtry Retha Harris Elaine Jackson Glenda Strickland Lacy Autry Connie Hall Dianne Fueller A. The work begins -- the ads are sold, the cover selected, the pictures taken -- now the work begins: stamping, identifying, cropping and writing. It ' s a mammoth task but the staff plunges forward. B. Discussion and Debate -- A book is no bet- ter than its cover and the staff wants noth- ing but the best. After hours of discus- sion and debate it is finally selected. C. Making plans: The editor, Mary Gray Jackson, Co- editor, Betty Sutton and Advisor, Miss Darlene Jackson make plans for the publication and distribution of the 1970 Day ' s Eye. D. More work -- Another meeting, more hours, more work, will it never end? After a total of over 100 hours the staff is still knee deep in work. E. Let ' s Go -- Our bags were packed, we were ready to go but not just to play, as you well know. Though the surf was calling and the sand looked like fun, we forgot it because there was work to be done. Nine to five was our workday -- but weweren ' ttoo sad -- after that we could play. 20 1-1 a ■ 3 1 ' H H ■ rtni� v 5 ' 3 . nrn :ii nnanf 1 n nan 9 I nnanvi inn«r9i innarfi Registration is where the action is. It is that thing whereby a student ' s status becomes official, and he goes through the red tape that makes his stay at STI possible. It is not the students ' lot to understand why he must fill out some things in triplicate, others in duplicate, while still others require only one copy. Although he may not under- stand, he dutifully does what is required be- cause he knows that sooner or later he will have to, and that somehow, there is meaning to it all. 21 S.G.A. STUDENTS LEAD THE WAY Rod Ricks Vice -president W ' ' ' B fl -: . ' dH f ' . 1 YULETIDE FUN Sampson Tech ' s Christmas Party could perhaps best be des- cribed as a very amaturish version of Ted Mack ' s Original Amateur Hour. The only thing missing was Ted Mack himself. As all can attest, he will never know what he missed, nor ould he. What led up to that riotous occasion? It all began when a tremendous Christmas tree was installed in the student lounge. What a sight to behold 1 Find and decorating tiie tree was entirely a student project, and it pointed out what a cooperative spirit could accomplish . Other things started happening around STI to let us know ftat Christmas was surely approaching. Almost everydoor in the school was gaily decorated in keeping with the season. One could not help but be cau t up in the Christmas spirit that was present everywhere . Then came the party. What a party it was ! Not only did the students get an opportunity to per- form in their usual original manner, but, the faculty and staff got into the act as well. It can safely be said that the faculty and staff were truly beyong recognition in their very becoming disquises. The music they played was out of this world (perhaps they diould have left it where it was). But, all in all, they were fun. Intending not to be outdone, the students rally outdid them- selves in putting on the various departmental sketches. Who could ever forget Miss Front End, or for that matter, Miss Rear End? As usual, the nurses came through hilariously well. All departments did a truly splendid job of enter- taining us and tickling our funny bones . What made the year ' s Christmas party so very meaningful for us all was that, in having all our fun, we didn ' t forget the true meaning of the season. Together we had our fun, and together-we came closer to an understanding of Christmas. CAREER NIGHT For most high school students, the biggest question in their minds is what field of work should I enter? Answering that question is not usually an easy undertaking and help is usually appreciated. The nights of October 29 and 30, 1969, pointed up the vital role that Sampson Technical Institute plays in the affairs of the community and the surrounding area. On those nights, high school students from neighboring schools were given a golden opportunity to receive helpful information on career possibilities. Career night was especially successful because of the high cali- ber of the career representatives present. Some of the career fields represented were Nursing, Data Processing, Barbering, Automotive Mechanics, Cosmetology, Weld- ing, Civil Service, and a dozen other equally exciting careers. 28 GRADUATION 1968-69 29 TRAINING REPORTERS IS A NEW VENTURE FOR STI’S DEPARTMENT OF JOURNALISM A. COMPOSING THE GROUP PHOTO -- Reporters draw on their photographic skill almost daily, and nothing out ranks knowing how to pose attractive pictures. Roland Pendergrass is the shutterbug and his subjects are Mrs. Betty Lowrance (SEATED), Mrs. Harriet Pasqua - lone and David Cashwell. North Carolina ' s first two-year journalism program was initiated at Sampson Technical Institute, and the first class of student reporters began their program of studies here in September, 1969. The series of courses have been designed to prepare beginning reporters with the range of needed job -- related knowledge and skills. Specialized training in journalism provides concentration in reporting and news- gathering, writing different kinds of newspaper stories, copy editing, headlining, and photography. Across the nation there is a new interest in the study and teaching of newspaper journalism. And that rekindled emphasis is spreading rapidly to the two-year junior and community colleges. Once the exclusive province of university journalism departments and on-the- job training for high school and college graduates with no preparation for the field other than individual interest, it has been known for many years that essential tools of the reporting and editing crafts can be learned in two years of intensive and closely guided study. It is this need that the STI journalism program was created to fulfill. Graduates will seek jobs as beginning reporters on the daily and weekly newspapers and in the printing industry in Eastern North Carolina. Journalism students attend classes in which reporting skills along with many social issues are discussed and explored. They also have laboratory periods in which they put these skills to work creating news copy. Their study of journalism reaches beyond the classroom with field trips to newspapers and printing shops where they study the complete production cycle in operation. Visits to city and county governmental centers, where news is generated and where reporters spend much of their workday, are included in the student reporter ' s program. B. GIVING THE RAG THE ONCEOVER -- Reporting students need to read a lot especially in the current press, and there is no better way to find out what ' s going on in the world than to read THE NEW YORK TIMES. Doing just that are (from left) David Cashwell, Mrs. Betty Lowrance , Hank Goodman ( STANDING) , Bill Croom, Mrs. Harriet Pasqualone, and Roland Pendergrass. G. ALL ABOUT PEOPLE -- Reporting is about people, and so are most interviews. Mrs. Connie Hall practices her intervierv skills with Roland Pendergrass and Diana Fueller. As long as they ' re still smiling, there is hope . 33 THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE WEATHER - A. SET IT AND FORGET IT -- Tommy is in charge, there ' s no sweat at all. B. THE NEW MATH -- Larry and Tommy find the blackboard useful. C. THE TOUCH OF A MASTER -- Larry, what is that you ' re doing ? Whatever it is, you seem to have the situation well in hand. D. EXPERT TROUBLE SHOOTERS -- Andrew and Ron- ald think they have found the combination that will make it tick. E. GROUP EFFORT -- Developing te am spirit by working on a cooperative project. F. NOW, WHAT COULD BE WRONG ? -- Mr. Sills and Larry get some practical shop experience. ' G . A SHOCKING EXPERIENCE? — Ellis has found that a certain amount of knowledge of electricity and wiring is required. In recent years the use of air conditioning and I refrigeration equipment has increased tremendously Practically all new build- ings constructed for busi - ness and commercial use have year-round air ' conditioning systems . Many homes now have ait conditioning, and the trend is toward greater use of year-round sys- tems for cooling and heating. Trasportation systems and food indus- tries are requiring greater uses of refrigeration syste ms for transit, stor- age, and display of pro- ducts . With this great up- swing in the use of air conditioning and refriger- ation equipment, a greater demand is made on trained personnel to plan and supervise installations and to supervise the oper- ation and maintenance of this equipment. STI is proud of its first Air Conditioning and Re- frigeration Class. This same pride is exhibited by the students who know that one day they will be qualified for a hi ly re - warding profession. G 36 COLLEGE TRANSFER - A NEW ENDEAVOR FOR 8TI The General Education Cirriculum with College Transfer Option is a cooperative effort between Sampson Technical Institute and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. STI provides the facilities and UNC at Wilmington provides the faculty. This venture is proving to be a most beneficial mutual arrangement. The two main objects of the pro- gram are: to provide the student with a general education in the humanities and social sciences leading to the two-year associate degree and or to provide the student with the freshman level of course work leading to the four-year baccalaureate degree. 37 YOUR CAR’S BEST FRIENDS - In years past, people quite often had to walk to get where they were going, but today most people wouldn ' t even consider such a thing. When our automobiles need repair, we quickly see how much we depend on them in our lives. Thus, it can easily be seen that the automotive technician performs an especially vital role, a role that grows increasingly more important each year. The Automotive technician finds that in- tensive training such as that provided by STI is essential if he is to keep up and be a success in such a dynamic and challenging field of work. A. CHECKING IT OUT — A student checks out the Olds engine under Mr. Medford ' s watchful eye. B. PRECISION WORK -- This student exhibits some of the skills that he has learned in automotive classes. C. HERCULES AT WORK -- Anthony makes a most efficient car lift, don ' t you agree? D. UTILIZING EQUIPMENT — This automotive student is getting practice in using a piece of the modern equipment found in the automotive lab. E. KEEPING THINGS IN BALANCE -- Two students are receiving training in the use of modern wheel - balancing and alignment equip- ment. The student of Business Administration is challenged by a seemingly unending variety of courses and a con- stant uphill fight to keep up with the changes occurring in the business world. What at first seems an eternity rapidly fades into tire past as the student progresses through two years of hard study and work. But there are rewards. What could be more fun than collecting colorful ad- vertisements, writing inter- esting term papers, taking awe-inspiring tests, or get- ting up at five o ' clock every morning to get to school on time? One would have to search far and wide to find more remarkable experiences than these . Who is dre student who enters the Business Adminis- tration program? He is a neophyte, seeking meaning in a life complicated by computers, taxes and infla- tion. Who is the graduate of Business Administration? He is an apprentice, ready to go out into the world full of child- like faith, who knows he will succeed because he is prepared. He does not know everything, but he is ready to learn what the world of business will seek quickly to teach him. And he will learn because he has to. Business Administration is not for everybody, but every- body is affected by tlie con- cepts it teaches. Thus, those who complete the program successfully are a giant step ahead in a business- oriented world. A BRIGHT FUTURE AWAITS SECRETARIES It is commonly known that secretaries are the backbone of the American business system. Without them, industry would grind to a screeching halt. It is essential, then, that a person filling such an important posi- tion be a highly capable and well qualified person. The secretarial student is subjected to a grueling two years of intensive study and practice. Shorthand, filing, typing, and other business essentials are her constant companions during her study, and later in her career. What better thing could a bright young girl do than to prepare herself for a challenging career as a secre- tary? Probably no other field offers more challenges and rewards. 42 Of A. MECHANIZATION HITS THE CLASSROOM -- These secretarial students enjoy the advantages offered by the new wireless electronic shorthand lab. B. ORDER OUT OF CHAOS -- Shorthand, the strange language of the sec- retary, is met and conquered by all successful students in the Executive Secretarial Program. C. STAYING ON THE HOME KEYS -- Learning to type is tedious, but through practice the student gains a proficiency of which he can be proud. D. A TOOL OF THE TRADE -- Annette and Glenda are eagerly learning to operate the mimeograph machine as a part of their required studies. E. PUTTING IT IN FILE THIRTEEN -- Gale dies away some important business documents, hoping to be able to find f em readily when the need arises. 43 TODAY’S STUDENTS -TOMORROW’S NURSES The field of health services and medicine, one of man ' s oldest and most highly exalted callings, is develop- ing lusty and deep roots in the Tar Hell State ' s system of community colleges and technical institutes. Sampson Technical Institute is one of the history- making schools with its 12-monfh vocational program for preparing Licensed Practical Nurses. Health services throughout the nation is a chronically understaffed field, but the picture is changing. Recent acceptance among doctors and nurses of a variety of highly trained sub-professionals including medical technolo- gists and aids is opening the health service field to many job seekers who can develop the skills and interests in the alleviation of human suffering. LPNs complete a rigorous program of studies and practical hospital service designed to provide thorough knowl- edge of institutional and private service. Not only do they learn human anatomy and medical instrumentation; student nurses also master the subtle skills of patient care and relations so vital to bedside service. CHRISTMAS r M T ' r “ , i SilMMia SKILLFUL PRACTICIONERS OF BEAUTY HELP YOU TO LOOK YOUR BEST. Many things go into making a good beautician. One of the first signs of suitability is showing a genuine interest in beauty culture. The importance of the ability to use one ' s fingers skillfully cannot be overemphasized. An artistic sense helps one determine line, color, and propportion in hair arrangements. The students of Cosmetology soon find themselves ready for a fascinating career. Guided by the skillful hands and expertise of a well-qualified in- structor, the department has-earned its rightful place as one of the most successful programs in the entire school. A. GETTING THE FULL TREATMENT --An expert manicure is being given by a student. B. IT ' S TIME FOR A HAIRCUT -- Posing for a trim while anticipating the finished product. C. MISS AMERICA -- Mr. Odom puls the finishing touches on this future celebrity. D. WFLAT DID YOU EXPECT? -- How could she help but be a ravishing beauty under the capable hands of Mr. Odom and his cosmetology students? E. DC5N ' T LOOK NOW, BUT -- A masterpiece of hairstyling is about to be un- veiled. F. TAPED FOR ACTION - - A little tape in the right place makes the job easy. G. HITTING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD -- You can trust your fingers to a trained cosmetologist. STUDENTS ANSWER THE CALL FOR TRAINED WELDERS Opportxinities for welders have never been greater. American industrial gipwth has been nothing short of phenomenal. There are 68% more manufacturing plants today than in 1945 and most of these plants use welding in some form or another. Alert individuals are now preparing themselves for their share of prosperity that economists predict for the 1970 ' s by learn- ing skills of a welder. Sampson Technical Institute is justly proud of its Welding department and the tremendous part it plays in training men to enter a field of employment with almost limitless possibilities. 48 A. WELDING IT RIGHT -- These men appear to be doing an excel- lent job . B . CLOSE WORK -- Complete atten- tion is required. C . WHERE THE ACTION IS — The welders en- joy using this modern piece of equipment. D. THE FINISHING TOUCH -- At- tention to detail asstu ' es high- quality work. E. IT ' S ALL IN KNOWING HOW -- When one is well- trained, work is found to be much easier. 49 MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT TRAINING The Manpower Development Training Act provides for training in select, short- term vocational courses. Those who enter the program are helped to develop skills which will enable them to enter employ- ment in jobs for which they were previously unqualified. MDTA means jobs for the unemployed or underemployed. As such, it holds a valuable place among the offerings of Sampson Technical Institute. A. GETTING READY FOR A JOB -- MDTA stenographers know that they will soon be pre- pared for rewarding jobs. B. PIPE WELDING -- Mr. West has found that after years of experi- ence he can weld with his eyes closed. C. GAREFUL WORK PAYS -- Gareful attention to detail is demonstrated by these MDTA masonry students. D. GETTING IT LEVEL -- These students know that a house will fall if the blocks aren ' t level. 50 51 ®u CLktt KcatMmi‘ { OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE- You don ' t see nuttin ' Working eight to five, It ' s when darkness comes tlie joint looks alive.
