Smithfield High School - Shield Yearbook (Smithfield, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 118 of the 1963 volume:

r963 olc€ XIV 7 ' P zfe52 Take a look at that unpredictable fun-loving and sometimes controversial student at Smithfield High . . . Inquisitive and alert, cynical and sentimental, practical and idealistic. One day we are soaring cloud high and the next we plunge to the depths of despair. Fundamentally teenagers in every era are the same; only customs change and shift. Slang of the day becomes outmoded, dances change names, food fads differ, styles follow a fashion cycle, but students are still shy, dreamy, boisterous and energetic bundles of storm and stress and conflicting loyalties searching for security, recognition, and independence. Yes, we are all here — all the desires, dreams, and aspirations of human life. Visit us in our panoramic world of classes and clubs, crowded halls and chapel period. Join us in cheering our Red Devils on to victory, in struggling to meet the Shield deadline, planning the Twerp dance, making a date to go to Gino ' s for dinner, or to meet at the Parish House after a Friday night ball game. , . . Forever searching and striving, we are those crazy mixed up kids who go steady and own too many convertibles. We are those often referred to as being undisciplined and having too much freedom. . . . We ask your patience and encouragement as we seek a set of values that will meet the test of tomorrow. If WE COMMUNICATE THROUGH ENGLISH. Our English Department strives to create a better un- derstanding of our English language by teaching the students basic grammar, stressing vocabulary enrichment, and striving for skill in writing and speaking. To teach appreciation of our heritage through literature is by no means a minor ob- jective. How often a student understands and gains the full flavor of a literary selection under the guidance of a trained teacher! Our English De- partment is indeed strong and one that our stu- dents speak of with pride. Bill Harris gives an impromptu speech on all of his aches and pains. The subject of a speech of this type is un- important for it is an exercise meant to help students think quickly on their feet. MR. JACK TEMPLE A.B. University of North Carolina English MRS. A. G. GLENN A.B. Mary Hardin Baylor College English MRS. E. V. WILKINS Woman ' s College University of North Carolina Speech, English Romeo (Joe Stroup) and Juliet (Jimmy Ogburn) perform a balcony scene from Shakespeare ' s most popular play. Shakespearean drama is only one of the things students look forward to in English IV. MRS. W. A. BURNETTE B.S. Appalachian State Teachers College Woman ' s College University of North Carolina Social Studies, English MATH TEACHES US TO REASON. Seeking to explain the magic of num- bers, the Mathematics Department of- fers General Math, Algebra I and H, Plane and Solid Geometry. With the aid of three full-time teachers, and often practice teachers from State Col- lege, the Department endeavors to stimulate interest in and appreciation for mathematics as a basic tool in everyday living and to stimulate a rea- soning attitude which will be of benefit to students in everyday life. Mr. Creech takes on another class of freshmen. His victory comes when these young minds have acquired a knowledge of the basic fundamentals of algebra. MRS. ANDREA BOYETTE A.B. Meredith College Business Arithmetic, Geometry Patience, understanding, and a great knowledge of geome- try make up the qualities so admired in Mrs. Andrea Boyette. MRS. LEOLA LASSITER A.B. East Carolina College Algebra, Geometry MR. J. L. CREECH, JR. A.B. Atlantic Christian College Algebra Scci cccHce SCIENCE HELPS US TO UNDER- STAND THE WORLD AROUND US. Our Science Department endeavors to help its students find their places in the living, growing, and changing world; to understand and appreciate the interdependence of plant and ani- mal life; to understand and appreciate a man ' s total dependence on M other Nature; and to help the students find their relationship to the Creator of the World. In so doing, it is hoped that each student will find his proper place in life. Physics. Chemistry, Biology, and General Science make up our Sci- ence Program. Chemistry to most people means the performing of such dazzling experiments as the burning of magnesium, although it is actually a study of the properties and activities of the many substances around us. MRS. JOYCE BARBOUR A.B. Woman ' s College University of North Carolina Chemistry, Biology MR. T. RUDOLPH WIGGS A.B. Atlantic Christian College Physics, General Science, Bookkeeping MR. ROBERT G. BENTON B.S. East Carolina College BiolQgy, General Science, Civics Frequent lab sessions permit physics students to test the physical lava ' s which they learn in the classroom. ■  THE STUDY OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES DEVELOP CULTURE Freshmen and sophomores burn the midnight oil in preparing Mr. Woodard ' s Latin assignments. Both of these courses, Latin I and II, not only give background in Roman culture, but students also learn to apply their Latin grammar in English and other language courses. Mrs. Peele ' s French classes take imaginary trips to France via books, maps, guides, and library materials. Various French records aid these classes in their pro- nunciation. Then there is that everyday drill on the all important verb and vocabulary study as well as the translation of French stories. Mr. Woodard always gets his point across. MR. S. C. WOODARD A.B. University of North Carolina Latin, EngHsh Telling the time is not such an easy matter when it ' s in French. MRS. LOIS PEELE A.B. Meredith College French, English II RECORD OF CIVILIZATION Our Social Studies department functions with the uhimate pur- pose of teaching its students to understand the problems of the past in order to prepare them to live in their present environment. A famous philosopher once said, To know nothing of the past is to understand little of the present and to have no conception of the future. Miss Wood, the newest addition to our Social Studies Department, uses ttfe map frequently as an aid to teaching. MISS SALLY ANN WOOD A.B. Salem College World History, General Math, Earth Science MRS. ALICE AVERY A.B. East Carolina College History, Guidance A student ' s eye view of the T.V. teacher. A PRACTICAL AND . . . ENJOYABLE COURSE Eyes on paper, fingers on keys sounds the refrain in typing cla ss. Day after day 125 students pound away to achieve that ac- curacy and speed Mrs. Jean Jones stresses. Bookkeeping and short- hand are taught in our commercial course too. Typing class warms up for a five minute time writing. MRS. RUTH PETERSON A.B. Woman ' s College University of North Carolina Typing, Shorthand TRAINS THE HOUSEWIVES OF TOMORROW MRS. RAMONA CASH B.S. East Carolina College Home Economics Members of the Home Ec. classes can give hints on the latest fashions, what electric appliance to buy, how to live on a limited budget, and what is proper to wear on all occa- sions. Then there is just plain everyday cooking and sewing in which they excel. All this training leads to efficiency in tomorrow ' s role as homemaker. Mrs. Cash goes into action when she discusses Housing with Susie Johnson. 13 LEARNING BY DOING Drafting and architecture make up a great part of the Mechanical Arts course. To the Industrial Arts Department have been added metal working and welding. Stu- dents in this course get varied ex- periences in consumer buying, in- dustrial processes, tool and ma- chinery operations. The shop is run on the factory system dividing the shop into two groups, labor and management. A superinten- dent and foreman make up the management while the rest of the class are the laborers. Mr. Massey has the know how and it ' s contagious say his students. MR. JOHN T. MASSEY B.S. East Carolina College Industrial Arts, Mechanical Drawing MR. ROY J. BROWN, JR. A.B. Atlantic Christian College Physical Education, Geography LEAD TO PHYSICAL FITNESS Organized games and recreation keep Jack from being a dull boy. Through our health and physical education program, we develop good sportsmanship, release and channel pent up energy and pro- vide recreational interests that carry over into adult hobbies for leisure hours. We have positive proof that this game is not fixed. 14 WE EXPRESS OUR EMOTIONS THROUGH ART In our art course students, un- der the direction of Mrs. Edna Earle Adams, become familiar with the works of Titian, Leonardo De Vinci, Raphael, Picasso, and many others. Most enjoyable of all is their expressions of crea- tiveness found in bulletin boards, posters puppets, copies of the old masters and oriofinals. Who knows? You may be looking at a future Picasso. OUR LIBRARY— THE NUCLEUS OF LEARNING Essential to the entire student body is the library. Each year our library strives to render more efficient service through the irhprovement of research facilities. Mrs. Vinson has a trained corps of workers that handle chores and assist students in the many calls that come to the library daily. MRS. EDNA EARLE ADAMS Primary B East Carolina College Art MRS. H. C. VINSON B.S. East Carolina College Librarian Mrs. Vinson ' s crew of competent helpers are necessary to the operation of our library. 15 Music is the art of the prophets, the only art that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us. — Luther MR. LEE ROGERS A.B., M.A. East Carolina College Band, Glee Club r Miss Flora Canaday and Miss Carolyn Hinton are responsible for the wonderful work being carried on in our piano de- partment. MISS FLORA PARKER B.M. Meredith College Glee Club 16 Of great merit which made the audience think even as it amused was the play, Inherit the Wind. Fifty-seven juniors and seniors, under the direction of Mrs. Kay Wil- kins, gave an excellent performance of this Broadway drama, which is based upon the Scopes monkey trial in Dayton, Tennessee, in the summer of 1925. The old issue of whether there is room in our world for both science and the Bible came to life again as Walker Wells and Bubba Creech gave their moving portrayals of Matthew Harrison Brady (Bryan) and Henry Drummond (Darrow). To quote from the comments by the editor of The Smith- field Herald: Smithfield High School is to be congratu- lated for exposing students and the whole community to intellectual adventure. From the hallowed hills of sacred Sinai . . . (Walker Wells as M. H, Brady) Do we curse this sinner in our midst! (Jimmy Ferrell as Reverend J. Brown) 18 Every year in SHS there comes that certain Saturday morning when the seniors somehow manage to drag out of bed by 9:00 and tramp down to the Legion Hut to decorate for the Fresh- man Dance. After a morning of work, the hut stands in readiness for the holocaust which is to follow that night. All of Smithfield is aware of the coming event, for every beauty par- lor, barber shop, ladies ' and men ' s store is invaded by freshmen. Girls run all over town in curlers and mud packs; older people just stay home on this particular Saturday, and avoid the confusion. The precedent was surely not broken this year, but probably strengthened. If you have any question as to whether or not this really goes on every year, just remember 1o look for it when it comes time for the Fresh- man dance once again. Freshmen are indeed green, to use the classical term. Nevertheless, they have a world all their own. The sen- iors that come to the Freshman Dance are different, for everyone realizes that they are seniors and therefore they must act like it — to some extent anyway. But the freshmen are freshmen and every- one also realizes this fact, thus putting them in an entirely different situation. They can be their own inquisitive, naive, carefree selves. And so for this reason, if for no other, the upperclass- men must envy the Freshmen of SHS. 19 Junior-Senior is that magical term that meant weeks of hard work for the juniors, and weeks of wondering, snooping, and prying for the seniors. It also means that brief, four-hour period in The Old South that will never leave the memory of all who were present. The old Southern plantation, the Swanee River, willow trees, Spanish moss, flowers, Dixie, and all the other ingredients that made up our Old South are branded in the memories of each of us. The mood of The Old South per- meated the program too as we saw the Virginia Reel, the scalawags, a Dixieland quartet, dancing, songs, and many others. Many of us hardly recognized each other in formal attire, and to quote Mrs. Adams, Joe and Louise looked like a million dollars! By the end of the after-party at the Armory, most of us were completely ex- hausted. With the rising of the sun the next morning, the Junior-Senior came to a close. As the wind whispers in the willow trees, the Kay Hill, our favorite Southern belle, wel- comes the guests to the Old South. The South ' s number one Dixieland quartet composed of Spike Yarborough, Walker Wells, Bill Harris, Andy Holland, ' carry us back to ol ' Virginia. ' 20 mm ir Swanee River winds its way around the old Southern plantation home. The Homecoming festivities for 1963 began with chapel where the speech class gave skits appropriately titled and carried out. One remem- bered particularly was Homecoming Thirty Years from Now. The cheer- leaders appeared on the program leading the student body in spirited yells. At the close the Senior girls who were to appear in the Homecoming Court were presented to the group. And then the game — Ugh! It rained— and rained. The Homecoming Court took on the appearance of a funeral procession as they marched under those black umbrellas to the center of the rain drenched field where Coach Brown crowned Patsy Edwards, 1963 Homecoming Queen. Although only a few loyal fans withstood the weather, the Devils won a memorable victory over Benson, 26-0. The Homecoming Dance at the Armory on Saturday night made up for all that was lost socially on Friday night. The program in the early part of the evening consisted of a group of very fitting popular songs dedicated to special people. The skits ranged from the purely original to those not so original. Climaxing the program was the entrance of the Queen and her escort and the members of the Court. After they formed their figure Patsy Edwards and Franklin Grimes led the first dance with the Senior boys and girls joining in. Patsy Edwards, Homecoming Queen, escorted by Franklin Grimes, is crowned by Coach Roy Brown. The team runs through a Red Devil held by tlic clicci leaders.

Gail Tyner and Jimmy Ferrell work on the center wall decoration, a football of many famous faces. 23 S UeU Sta4 ' 63 We have tried to publish this book with one pri- mary purpose in mind — what you students would like. The section of Student Life was added in an attempt to have more of the type pictures that you enjoy as well as to portray the intangible element in every school — its spirit. This book is the product of much effort. It is yours. We feel that its success or failure will be determined by how you like it. Indeed we hope you do.

Tyler Edmonson, sports editor, checks over a page while Barbara Grantham, business man- ager, and Marilyn Day, advertising manager, plan their campaign. 24 The SHIELD ' S faculty advisor, Mrs. A.G. Glenn. • f c tteA SUi To please the student body has been the major concern of the staff this year. Many hours of extra work has gone into each publication. Collecting news, arranging special art work, and seein g that each article was in place kept the entire staff busy until the day the paper was presented to the stu- dents. Without the co-operation of each person in high school the High Times would have been a worthless cause. The success of the paper is at- tributed to the wonderful help of those who have been called on for work on special assignments and articles. But without the patience and understand- ing of Mrs. Bumette, the faculty advisor, the pub- lication would have been a poor product. Our Chapel programs have been varied this year with the Speech Class in charge of several. Our ministers have visited us and given excellent messages. Among them have been Rev. John Ryberg, Charles Mercer, Joe Lan- singer, and Starke Dillard. There have also been band concerts, group singing, and other special features. Frances Roberts delights the audience with her pantomime of a child in her mother ' s make-up. Santa Glaus (Andy Holland) is mobbed by SHS kiddies eager to tell what they want for Christmas. We all got in the Christmas spirit in the Sing Along With Santa show. Beatnik poetry, read by Barbara Grantham, prepared us for a cool yule. 26 Attraclive summer uniforms are worn by our majorettes when weather permits. SALLIE HONEYCUTT, Chief MIN. SEC. QTR. IT VISITORS TO PLAY I HOME DOWN YAR ' mTO GO Kay Willett, Peggy Barbour, SalHe Honeycutt, and Frances Roberts are to be commended for the fine work that they have done as our majorettes. 27 Good bands have become a tradition at Smithfield High School, and this year was no exception. Many students who have graduated with the musical back- ground provided by our band training program have gone on to take positions in other fine musical or- ganizations. The band participates in many activities. Football games, parades, concerts, and contests are the major projects of the band as a whole, although individuals often achieve honors such as the All-State Band. Certainly much credit goes to Mr. Lee Rogers who has directed our band since 1951, and who has built it into the strong activity that it is today. THE BAND OFFICERS: Barbara Grantham, Secretary- Treasurer; Bubba Creech, President; Jimmy Ogburn, Publicity Manager; Carolyn Lewis and Linda Allen, Librarians. I Drum Major, JLMMY FERRELL Few people realize how much work goes into the preparation of a half-time show. f Our Dance Band is made up of band members who play for pleasure. It rehearses on Monday nights and is led by Mr. Lee Rogers. This year ' s band has been quite successful and has proved a great enjoyment for all who participated. 29 MISS FLORA PARKER, Director 30 GLEE CLUB OFFICERS: Andrea Lee, Publicity; Jenny Hill, Secretary; Patsy Edwards, Treasurer; Kay Hill, Vice-President; Marilyn Day, President; Jenny Norton, Publicity. Scte tce ( (ed In an age of increasing emphasis on science, students and teachers are doing a wonderful job of keeping pace with the world. The Science Club furnishes additional science dis- cussions and projects. The F.H.A. is one of the most ac- tive clubs in Smithfield High School. Its purpose is to help girls become better homemakers. A Christmas tea for parents and friends was an out- standing event this year. The girls made the refreshments, arranged the receiving line, and explained to the guests the purposes and aims of the organization. The members look for- ward to the statewide conventions, rallies, and summer camps. The programs of the Science Club are on widely varied areas in Science such as the anatomy of the body. ' Piue inU ( £ed The Fine Arts Club strives to bring about a better appreciation of the arts. Discussions on many types of music from Bach to Brubeck have made up several of our programs. Modern Art and Modem Poetry have been enjoyable studies. Mary Mercer and Bobby Hooks gave an especially good program on Carl Sandburg and Robert Frost. The twenty-five members range from freshmen to seniors. The officers are Jimmy Ferrell, President; Bobby Hooks, Vice-President ; Buddy Hooks, Secretary; Mary Mercer and Tony Stanley, Program Committee. The Monogram Club of forty-three members is an organization made up of all those ' students who have won a letter in some extracurricular sport. The club sponsors Athletic Awards Day, a banquet initiating new mem- bers, and the annual Twerp Week ending in a dance at the Legion Hut on February 23. This Fine Arts program was on— Ray Charles?? Sandy Massey and Buddy Hooks made the preparations. Shown here with Coach Brown are Andy HoUand, President of the Monogram Club; Howard Whitley, Vice-President: Sncil Secretary. Durwood Stephenson, Linda Byrd, Cheryl Kistler, and Lindsay Park make up the Honor 33 The Future Teachers Club of Smithfield High School is a club which hopes to create an interest among youth for the teaching field. The members range from the 10th through the 12th grades. Dis- cussions and programs dealing with the many facets of teaching make up the programs of study. Mrs. Andrea Boyette is faculty advisor. Bonnie Coates, President; Jane Boyette, Secretary; Andrea Lee, Vice-President ; Mrs. Burnette, faculty advisor make up the lead- ers in the Journalism Club. Writ- ing for the school paper, studying phases of Journalism as careers, sponsoring bulletin boards in the entrance hall, and inviting in vari- ous newspaper men to speak have been some of the club ' s main proj- ects. Future Teachers of America keep up with educational news the world over. 34 Learning to take notes from a speaker is part of the training provided by our Journalism Club. 35 The selection of new cheerleaders every year is always an exciting event. Girls who are trying out for this honor can always be recognized by their bruised knees and unsteady movements. This rigid training usually produces competent cheerleaders that are certainly an asset to our school. This year ' s squad has indeed fulfilled their duties well, for we shall long remember the original cheers and contagious school spirit. HEADS : Jennie Norton and Claire Young The cheerleaders always help the team celebrate a victory. Jenny Wilson, Emma Alice Avera, Marilyn Day, Qaire Young, Jennie Norton, Sara Nell Hill, Gayle Johnston, Pam Jordan, are to be commended for their fine work as our cheerleaders. 36 First tow: Thomas Adams, Judson Jones, Landis Whitley, Andy Holland, Bill Bryan, Bobby Penny.

Poot f963 This year ' s football team although winning only four games was one of S.H.S. ' s more promising squads. Seven sophomores were on the starting line up replacing some of the fifteen Seniors who graduated. Rain and mud plagued many of the games. The most memorable contest was with Fuquay when Mike Warren intercepted a pass and raced for a winning touchdown in the last ten seconds. The season climaxed with two straight wins and Co-Captains Andy Hol- land and Howard Whitley making All-Conference selection.

Handicapped somewhat by lack of experience, the Devils came through with impressive wins showing great determination and hustle. After losing a close one to Gary in a real thrilling battle, the Devils had trouble getting back on the winning trail. All in all the team has shown to be very strong and will be a serious threat in the approaching tournament at Gary.

Our girls ' basketball team began this year with a determination to win. This desire placed them sec- ond in the conference. Teamwork has proved to be the outstanding factor. The victory over undefeated Selma has been the highlight of the season. In this game, the defense showed remarkable ability to hold back Selma ' s aggressive forwards. Another ex- citing game was with Fuquay when the game ended in a double overtime leaving Smithfield in tears at the first loss of the season. The lower classmen have gained valuable experience which should prove effective in the future. There are only three seniors on the squad: Jenette Byrd, Patsy Edwards, and Linda Byrd. The Red Devil damsels will give a good account of themselves at the District Tourna- ment in Gary at the close of the season. First row: Cheryl Kistler, Linda Byrd, Jenette Byrd, Patsy Edwards.

To add to this fine rec- ord, Smithfield defeated Benson for the Southern Division Title, enabling them to go to the play-offs with Millbrook. Al- though our team lost to Millbrook, we are proud of the 1962 record. Casey at the bat! Durwood Stephenson connects for a double.

In track, each man is a team, work- ing by himself, and improv- ing by himself. Then the success of a track team de- pends on the individual. Last year the members of our team, under the supervision of Coach Roy Brown, exhibited their competence in regular con- ference play by scoring a total of 253 points. This record shows the tremendous work exerted by last year ' s squad in improving Smith- field ' s young team. 51 Imagination Stude Smithfield High School is composed of 530 individuals, each one having his own personal thoughts, ideas, and feelings. One of the purposes of a school is to allow each student to give expression to his per- sonality through his life in school. For one to completely understand this intan- gible element of our school through pic- tures would be impossible. We only hope that we have transmitted to you a few impressions of our everyday life. Peace Enjoyable work 52 Diligence End of a long, hard day Through rain, sleet, or snow our cus- todians can be depended upon. Their tireless efforts to keep our school neat and attractive too often go unnoticed, but are sincerely appreciated by the stu- dents and teachers. Shown here are Joe Lassiter, Louise Lassiter, Lillie Mae Griffin and James Terrell as they pause for a pose. As cafeteria manager, Mrs. Ward has the job of planning the meals and supervising the lunchroom help. 800- 900 students eat lunch daily in the cafeteria. Feeding this many children is no easy task. Her work is tre- mendous and she does it well. Mrs. Sarah Massey, cafeteria cashier and secretary, takes care of the finances while Mrs. Nolia Ward, cafeteria manager, smiles at the hungry students. 56 57 THOMAS WILFORD ADAMS Expression Club 1; Wildlife Club 2, 3; Foot- ball 2, 3, 4; Junior-Senior Decorating Com- mittee 3; Baseball 4; Monogram Club 4.

The guidance program Jn Smithfield High School be- gan four years ago. Many accomplishments have been made in this short time. 200 vocational books have been added to the library shelves. 325 vocational files filled with pamphlets, brochures, and various other related materials serve the many needs of the students. The guidance counselor, Mrs. Alice Avery, confers with students regularly concern- ing choice of careers, college information, and personal problems. A fine testing pro- gram has also been set up in the Guidance Department. Seniors often find the guidance materials provided by our guidance department very helpful in making important decisions which have so much bearing on their futures. Jenny Hill, Don Flowers, Linda Allen, and- Durwood Hamilton deserve the admiration of all of us for their service to their school. Proof of the capabilities of the courteous and careful senior school bus drivers can be seen in their flawless record of safety. So responsible are they that no parent feels anxious when children are entrusted in their care. 89 WoodaU, and Jane Boyette. Sandy CarroD, winner of the Betty Crocker Home- maker Award in S.H.S.
