Smithfield High School - Shield Yearbook (Smithfield, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1962 volume:

It was the year of the freshman, descending a hundred eighty strong to congest our halls, try our patience, and win our hearts. It was the year of the new parking lot, when the faculty at last found space for their cars, but there was none left for the students. It was a year of strange new dances— the Twist and the Fly — a year of new cars, and of new sophomore drivers. It was as always a year full of firsts for the freshmen and lasts for the seniors. It was a year reflected in a hundred ways on the faces of those who knew it best . . . the lost, dejected look of a freshman on the first day, the shy smile of a sophomore at the front door of a prospective magazine customer, the satisfaction on the face of a junior after his first varsity game, the mixed expression of a senior suddenly realizing the last high school dance is over. It was a year best remembered through the people who made it. it is with this in mind that we present the 1962 SHIELD. frcife 7 fra 65 WELUUMt lU m TO MRS. ALICE AVERY in appreciation for the ability, enthusiasm, and concern she offers each of her students. The day-to-day managennent of a school is a monumental task and to be done well requires the dedicated and untiring work of a fine ad- ministrator and staff. In this statement we find one of the most important keys to the continuing high calibre of education to be found in Smith- field High School. Even in the face of the busy schedule and many extra hours required by the quality of service he gives, Mr. Glenn is never too busy to discuss an individual student ' s problems or aims. A trace of cigar smoke, a jingle of keys, thf sound of rapid footsteps pausing suddenly at the sight of a second-grader ' s tears— these will always be a part of SHS for us. MR. A. G. GLENN Principal Mrs. Tarleton, the office ' s secretary, is shown here at worl on some of the school ' s financial records and taking dictation for Mr. Glenn. Some of he r other duties are operation of the mimeograph equipment and management of the office during the day when Mr. Glenn is elsewhere in the school. In addition to the dictation of the school ' s correspondence, Mr. Glenn is shown at one of the office ' s filing cabinets where the school records of all of Smithfield ' s students are kept. These records are often consulted years after a student ' s graduation when an employer wonders about an applicant ' s merit. MR. JOHN A. WALLACE Chairman, Smithfield School District Committee Other members of the committee are Dr. W. J. Massey, vice-chairman; Dr. William Oliver, secretary; Mr. W. A. Hill; and Mr. J. Lee Ogburn. MRS. A. G. GLENN A.B. Mary Hardin Baylor College English In Mrs. Wilkins speech class, Billy Poteat and Bill Taylor compete for the majority of attention. This type of exercise helps speech students overcome some of their nervousness before an audience. MRS. E. V. WILKINS A.B. Woman ' s College University of North Carolina Speech, English The perfect climax to the study of some great English work is to hear it read by a great English actor. Here Mrs. Glenn and Vic Ogburn prepare to preview a recording of such a performance. MR. JACK TEMPLE A.B. University of North Carolina English MRS. CHESTER PHILLIPS B.S. Bob Jones University English, Civics BELOW: There are two other people who are really members of our history faculty, although they are not at SHS in person. They are Mrs. Lucille Gregory and Miss lola Parker. Here Mrs. Gregory teaches world history. MRS. ALICE AVERY A.B. East Carolina College History, Guidance MR. JOSEPH W. CREECH B.S. East Carolina College History, Math, Science ABOVE: Occasionally a TV history lesson is interrupted to allow the students to see history in the making. On February 20, 1962, both sections of TV history were able to see the beginning of United States astronaut John Glenn ' s history making three-orbit flight in a Mercury capsule which he had named Friendship— 7. Each of his three orbits gave him approximately 89 minutes of space flight experience. LEFT: The construction and view- ing of bulletin boards is one way In which students become more conscious of history. Billy Up- church and Dan Barefoot com- plete one for U. S. History. 9 In a second year Latin class under Mr. work on that all-important vocabulary. Woodard, Walker Wells and Lindsay Park do some MR. S. C. WOODARD A.B. University of North Carolina Latin, English MRS. LOIS PEELE A.B. Meredith College French, English French, as a living language, is closely associated with an exciting, modern country as well as a rich history. Here Grace Langdon and Brenda Stephenson plan that ' dream ' trip. 10 MRS. ANDREA BOYETTE A.B. Meredith College Business Arithmetic, Geometry Even beyond the direct value of its knowledge is the logic which mathematics instills in its students. Jerry Bryant reasons out the proof of a theorem in solid geometry. MR. J. L. CREECH, JR. A.B. Atlantic Christian College Algebra MRS. LEOLA LASSITER A.B. East Carolina College Algebra, Geometry This year, for the third year in a row, SHS math classes were taught for brief periods by student teachers from N. C. State College. Here we see one of them. Miss Cross, giving a test in one of her practice classes. I I Mrs. Barbour is always ready to share her knowledge and interest in science with her students. Freddy Brink and Sue Hooks, deep in preparation for mid-term exams, ask her to clear up a point about their chemistry notes. Sccence 12 Last rehearsal before the contest!

East Carolina College Librarian Some of the student assistants of the school library are shown at work on the inventory and repair of some of the library ' s volumes: Joan Cooke, Becky Byrd, Carolyn Rowland, Judy Cockrell, Brenda Middlebrooke, Kay Massey. Mr. Massey illustrates an industrial arts lecture through the use of special cut-away models which he prepared. }tteUiattceU MR. JOHN T. MASSEY B.S. East Carolina College Industrial Arts, Mechanical Drawing RIGHT: David Putnam completes the lettering on a mechanical drawing assignment. 14 MRS. RAMONA CASH B.S. East Carolina College Home Economics Mrs. Cash helps Carolyn Adams with a button loop on the blouse she made as a home economics project. One of the most practical and valuable courses at SHS, home ec is probably appreciated by as many young husbands as wives. 15 The value of an educated mind is multiplied by its location in a sound body. Freshman health and physical education classes are an enjoyable mixture of study and play. Both of which contain lessons for the students of great value. MR. ROY J. BROWN, JR. A.B.

The value any high school education has for a student is largely determined by what that student chooses to do immediately after his graduation. Should he begin his chosen career at once or will he profit by additional education or training? If he decides on more study, where should he seek it? It is the task of the school ' s guidance program to help each student find for himself the best answers to these questions. The program, under the direction of Mrs. Avery here at Smithfield, helps the student by providing him with information on vocations, colleges, and professional schools. It is also possible for the student to learn more about himself, through professional interpretation of special tests, to help him in those decisions which may have a paramount influence on his future life. We can be very proud of the guidance program at SHS. Efficient and thorough, it also maintains indi- vidual attention and personal concern for each stu- dent. ABOVE: Mrs. Avery explains the purpose of an interest survey to Kay Boyette. RIGHT: Mrs. Avery consults one of the department ' s career files. She also has access to the complete records of each student. 40 Carolyn Adams Francis Adams Carolyn Allen Dan Allen Lester Allen Patsy Anderson Houston Armstrong Sam Aycock Ken Ayscue Butch Barbour Trudy Barbour Susan Barnes Rudolph Bass Phyllis Batten Billy Blackmon Ben Booker John Boyette Mary Boyette Rose Bryan Wilma Byrd Eugene Caldwell Beth Capps Carolyn Capps Larry Capps Calvin Clayton Danny Coates Donald Coates Helen Coates Kaye Coates Gary Cooke Evelyn Creech Jeanene Creech Nancy Creech Steve Crumpler Danny Daughtry Edwin Daughtry Ronald Daughtry Robert Davis 0 .Sin, scl 1 i jaMjjjjji ' 1, t -f iff!! i -- v.

Assisting with the many problems of collecting, copy reading, and compiling material to interest the .student subscribers have been Mrs. Philips and Mrs. Pearce, the faculty advisors. This year the staff has combined their efforts to present more interesting articles and features for the enjoyment of the students at Smithfield High. LEFT: Mrs. Phillips, HIGH TIMES faculty advisor. RIGHT: Editor Carol Ann Wickham and assist- ant editor Bonnie Coates confer on what features should be carried in the next issue. BELOW: Sports editor Bill Harris, news editor Barbara Grantham, art editor Linda Higgins, and assistant art editor Kay Jones combine their ideas to produce the format of an upcoming number. The Sound of Music brings to mind many things for those juniors (now seniors) who planned and carried out the 1961 Junior-Senior. Which of them will ever forget the long nights at the Little Dixie Warehouse ... the gold paint they wore to class every morning ... the English periods spent learning the songs . . . the constant secrecy which protected the theme for several weeks . . . the move to the armory . . . and the climax of the preparation when some of the seniors found they were all wet as far as finding out the theme by snooping? Above, Kathy McGee, Elissa McGowan, Kathie Lassiter, Anne Cheatham, and Bet Booker begin the long-awaited night with the theme prologue. Below, a few of those who were a part of the colorful square dance number. In preparing the SHIELD for 1962 we have tried, as we said in the Foreword, to place special emphasis on the people who are SHS. We have changed the book in some ways from that of former years, always with the belief that a majority of you would agree with us. We have used filmstrip groups of pictures to supple- ment the large, space-consuming ones in order to cover various areas more adequately. The senior quotations have been eliminated this year. The reason for this is the fact that a quotation cannot be found for each person that really fits him. We feel, as do many authorities on high school annuals, that they no longer perform a necessary service. We have greatly enjoyed editing this issue of your yearbook, a job which has been made much easier by the co-operation we have received from everyone. So here it is-the 1962 SHIELD. If, during this school year, you have been exasperated by our constant picture taking, question asking, secrecy, and our perpeptual mad rush, we are sorry. This book is our excuse. Co-Editors Bill Taylor and Dewey Lawson LEFT: Sports Editor Billy Upchurch and Busi- ness Manager Donald Byrd check over the yearbook ' s finances. 54 SAceict The SHIELD ' S faculty advisor is Mrs. Glenn. Here she gives a page her final scrutiny before mailing it to the publisher. The assistant editors, Anne Cheatham and Brenda Stephenson check the class pictures as Sheila Grumpier types the names on a copy sheet. 55 56 Smithfield High School has a large number of clubs ranging all the way from Wildlife to Fine Arts. Each of these clubs, under the sponsorship of a faculty member, elects officers and presents programs of interest to the members at each meeting. ABOVE: Members of Mrs. Wilkins ' Dramatics club learn to overcome nervousness by Forgetting themselves before their audience. Shown reciting Mary Had a Little Lamb simultaneously are Anna Ratcliffe (as a 21-year-old), Nancy Stallings (as a 2-year-old), Mary Lillie Talton (w hile crying), and Becky Norton (while laughing). RIGHT: Members of the Wildlife clubs enjoy a motion picture on hunting. 58 f962 ABOVE: Mrs. Cash ' s Future Homemakers of America club enjoys refresh- ments a1 the Christmas meeting.

Standing behind them is Mr. Wiggs, the club ' s sponsor. BELOW: The French Club, meeting with Mrs. Peele, devoted one session to the creating of new French bulletin boards. In the foreground. Rose Hamilton and Sallie Padgett decide on a design as Houston Armstrong, Donald Bailey, Melvin Jones, and Larry Stephenson prepare to display the latest masterpiece. 59 .... .d Chapel programs this year have included a little bit of everything. Just before Christmas the speech class presented a program designed both to entertain the student body, and to make them examine their idea of Christmas. ABOVE: a meeting of executives in the office of J. C. Scrooge to discuss advertising for the rapidly approaching Green Chri$tma$ . Left to right: Dewey Lavi son, Dan Barefoot, Bet Booker, Joey Overby, Kathie Lassiter, Judy Forbes, Gretchen Brown, Charles Wilkins, Linda Alford, Elissa McGowan, and Billy Wellons. LEFT: Santa (Billy Poteat) causes quite a commotion when he arrives to bring some of the faculty their Christmas gifts. Another outstanding chapel program was the one sponsored by the monogram club just before the Homecoming game. In one of the skits Charles Wil- kins and Joey Overby gravely undertake the selection of the Homecoming Queen from the many eligible senior girls in- cluding Elaine Grumpier, right, but soon find the choice easy when a more-er-persuasive can- didate (played by Billy Poteat) below, explains the situation to them. ABOVE RIGHT: Our school was honored with the visit of a great European concert pianist (played by Dewey Lawson) who perform- ed for us such monumental works as The Third Left Curling Paper from Mrs. Franz Liszt ' s Second Home Permanent in C Major. High-stepping down the street in front of the band, decorating a car for the Homecoming parade, or ushering at the Christmas concert, the major- ettes have, become an increasingly important part of the SHS scene.

Through the planning of social events such as Homecoming and the Twerp dance, the setting of sportsmanship standards, and the awarding of annual athletic trophies and letters, the Monogram Club has become a very important organization on the SHS scene. The benefits of its existence extend beyond its membership into the entire student body. 83 Preparing lunch for a school full of children is a job that requires a good deal of well co-ordi- nated effort. Not only must the lunchroom serve the most appetizing food possible, but in addi- tion maintain exacting cleanliness standards and insure a good nutritional balance in each meal. ABOVE: Mrs. Nolia Ward, the lunchroom dietician, plans the menus, maintains the food supply, and oversees the preparation of each meal. RIGHT: It is Mrs. Sarah Massey who collects the lunch fee from each student who takes advantage of the school ' s lunch service. BELOW: Even with the many modern kitchen machines, each piece of silver must still be dried by hand. While in the background, in keeping with the lunchroom ' s exacting health standards, one of the staff is cleaning a sink. Joe Lassiter, James Terrell, and Louise Lassiter. Custodians are an indispensable factor in any school, but at Snnithfield High School they are more than that. Just as important to the students as the service they render is the warm friendship they offer. Our bus drivers have v hat is probably the greatest responsibility delegated to students— that of seeing children to and from school safely each day of the year. BELOW: the senior drivers.
