Here Connie Branch talks his over. mi n 1 s t r a 1 1 o n The Smithfield School system is made up of the high school, the central elementary school, and the South South Elementary School. There are 2000 students enrolled and a faculty of 80 teachers. Our principal, Mr. A. G. Glenn, who is in his 31st year as head of our school, received the Distinguished Citizen award of the Chamber of Commerce this year. The award is made annually to a citizen on the basis of accomplishment and service to the community over a period of years. The students of S.H.S. were pleased that this honor came to their principal who has been a dedicated school administrator through the years ... a wise coun- selor and friend to his students. 8 MRS. C. W. TARLTON, Secretary She keeps our records straight. Often we came forth into the light of things and let Nature be our teacher Program With an ultimate goal of student self-evalu- ation toward planning for the future the guidance program in S.H.S. is a valuable student service. Extensive vocational files and college informa- tion are available to the student to aid him in choosing a career and making his plans for that career. Where do I go from here, says Jimmy Putnam to Guidance Counselor, Mrs. Avery. (Above) Time of Decision for Sidney Broadwell, Ray Rose, N. E. Mitchell, and Larry Wadsworth.

Our Courses retrace the experience of mankind in its most important aspects. They go through the earliest civilization, the beginnings of modern civilization, political, social and in- dustrial revolution to modern times. Seniors are required to take U. S. History. It is a survey of our nation ' s history beginning with a review of Old World events and the American colonization. The study includes the social, economic, and political conditions of the United States throughout its history. Foreigm LamgiLiages Foreign languages promote under- standing of other cultures as well as a means of communication with foreign neighbors. Our school offers two years of Latin and two of French. Students who wish may take both languages and many of the more ambitious do. Mrs. Peele explains use of pronouns in French II class. MR. S. C. WOODARD A.B.

They stimulate the creative urge, and enrich the leisure hours of many students. It is thrilling to hear harmonious voices in concert when Miss Parker and Mr. Rogers direct our Glee Club of 150 voices.

Worksliops on book processing, reference books, and routine duties have proved valuable to these workers this year. LiIdf The library is an important aid to students. The freshmen have a very effective orientation program each year under the supervision of Mrs. Vinson, our librarian. 300 new books have been added to our library this year. The process of set- ting up an information file and set- ting up a permanent card file for periodicals are two library projects that are in the making at the present. MRS. H. C. VINSON B.S. East Carolina College Librarian MRS. EDNA EARLE ADAMS B.S. Atlantic Christian College Art Art High School Art Class meets the fourth period each day. It is here that students develop basic skills in drawing and paint- ing, color composition, design and sketching. Students, under the direction of Mrs. Adams, often display their paintings in attractive arrangements in school and for various special projects in town. Arranging bulletin boards and directing make-up for plays give art students an opportunity for another type of expression. Doing easily what others find difficult is talent. Buddy Hooics (seated) proves that this state- ment is true. 19 MRS. ANDREA BOYETTE It is an honor to pay tribute to one who has become such a genuine part of Smithfield High School. Her interest in her students and her eagerness to help them have endeared her to all who have come under her influence. Be- cause she means so much to so many in her instruction of math, we the students of S.H.S., dedicate the 1964 SHIELD to Mrs. Andrea Boyette.

SliieM Staff ' 64 It was a matter of putting our heads to- gether and getting the job done. We did just this and now the fifteenth edition of the Shield is in your hands. The school bought a camera and Bobby Poteat learned how to manipulate it. By the trial and error method he learned to snap us as we really were. He called them candid shots. The girls on the advertising staff were business like and brought in creditable financial returns. Mil- lard Stallings was their inspiration! Behind it all was Mrs. Glenn, our experienced spon- sor, who kept us all in check and saw to it that we met the deadline, that fatal day, February 22. Above: Pretty girls and a jeep! This was our advertising staff: Candy Jackson, Cora Bell, Lindsay Park, Geanie Upchurch, Mary Mercer, Kaye Ayscue, Ruth Ann Hamilton, Diana Gilchrist, Laura Lynn Laughter. In the jeep, Millard Stallings, advertising manager and Andrea Lee. Below: Others worked too! Wayne Medlin typed; Joan Cooke, assistant editor, checked copy; Carolyn Lewis, business manager, kept the books; Woody Stephenson edited the sports; Bobby Poteat and Tony Stanley did the photography.

In order to strengthen his learning in America, he enrolled in American History, American Government, English III, English IV, and Public Speaking. He has contributed much to our school life, and we are all richer by having him among us this year. We trust that he too his been enriched to some degree and that the bonds of friendship have been cemented in such a manner that he will return to us again before long.

Andrea Lee and Billy Gene Johnson Almost Gone. 63 JuiaiioFs amJ Semiors IMLake THieir Exits am We ' re All G The essence of this timely play dealt with con- tributory guilt to our vexing problem juvenile delin- quency. Some parents abdicate their parental re- sponsibilities by allowing their children to run wild without direction. Some are more concerned with giving material things rather than love and affection. Some stifle their children through denial of basic freedoms while others have too much freedom. All of these examples are brought out in the play em- phasizing the fact that juvenile delinquency begins in the home, but in the true light of the problem We ' re All Guilty. Above: I won ' t be quiet! shouts Johnny. Somebody ought to give him the same thing he gave her . . .
