- r - .00- , i 965 SHIELD Volume XIX Smithfield High School Smithfield, North Carolina Editor-in-Chief Assistant Editor Shelley Castleberry Janet Shallcross I . . . Devoted . . . Loyal . . . Trusted and beloved These words could well describe the man who has been our friend and advisor throughout our high school years. By participating in various school activities, he has tried to instill these qualities in us. He has coached the J. V. football team, the girls basketball .team, and the baseball team. His dedication to these teams has inspired many victories. In the classroom he has tried to instill in us that all-important desire to seek knowledge in the sciences. In admiration and appreciation we dedicate the 1968 SHIELD to Mr. H. V. Payne. Mr. Payne talks to former coach, Mr. Temple. Well you could win. What are they doing? 5 —IBkDMINISTRATION MR. BRUCE F. SLOAN, Principal The day-to-day management of a school is a monu- mental task and for it to be done well requires the dedicated and untiring work of a fine administrator and co-workers. This year has moved along smoothly thanks to the help of Mr. Sloan, Mr. Floyd, and the secretaries. Mr. Sloan is always ready and willing to help the students and is constantly working to make Smithfield High School a better place. Mr. Floyd assists Mr. Sloan in running our ever-growing school and keeping a check on the students. The little angels of the office are left for last but could not be done without. They are the secretaries, Mrs. Tarlton and Mrs. Barnes, whose job is never com- pleted. There are always reports to be typed and tests to be mimeographed, which they do with a smile. MR. JOHN W.

Mrs. Reid grades her junior class vocabulary test. Mrs. Wilkins helps Sue Jones with a theme. Each year our English teachers teach us not only the mechanics of our language, but also about the various literary figures. Through our study of literature, including the study of novels, short stories, and poems, we gain a better understanding of our heritage. In our grammar courses we are taught how to write correctly, how to use vocabulary words, and of course, how to punctuate. This familiarity with gram- mar enables us to use our language more effectively. An elective course in speech is also offered at S. H. S. This year we welcome back Mrs. Kay Wilkins, who along with Mrs, Leona Parrish, Mrs. Ruth Burnette, Mrs. Gladys Prince, Mrs. Jose- phine Parrish, and Mrs. Nell Reid complete our English department. 10 Foreign Languages MR. S. C. WOODARD A.B. University of North Carolina Latin Cathy Lewis, Craig Ennis, and Steve Wilson ponder over French reviews. MRS. LOIS PEELE A.B. Meredith College French It is a fact that a knowledge of other languages helps us to more clearly understand our own language. Through the study of French we not only learn how to speak French, but we also become acquainted with French customs and culture. In Latin we learn about ancient history as well as learning the origins of many of the words used today. Clarence Woodard and Mrs. Lois Peele make up our language department at S. H. S.

They learn about other parts of the world and about other people through the study of geography. Also, in both economics and sociology they study the world problems of today. This year S. H.

General Snippet and his two daughters, Debbie (Meg Andreaus) and Jill (Julia Gilbert) are accosted by Tully Bascom. Roared ' ' In the spring of 1967, the classes of ' 67 and ' 68 presented The Mouse That Roared , which was directed by Mrs. Nell Reld. The play was about a small country, Grand Fenwick, which was ruled by a twenty-two year old girl whose name was Gloriana. Her unique solution to the near bankruptcy of her country was to declare war on the U. S. She thought that if her country would have to lose to the U.S., the U.S. would give them aid. But to upset her claculations, Tully Bascom and his bowmen did the last thing expected — they won ! Buddy Davis puts the finishing touches on the Professor. 86 Junior-Senior Play Professor Kokintz (Tim Daughtry) discusses Grand Fenwick ' s Declaration with the President (Steve Gower), General Snippet (Carl Wharton), and Secretary of State (Bobby Benson.)

One of its main purposes is to give the working students a chance to participate in extracurricular activities, which they otherwise have no time for due to their jobs. Among other things, club members may attend various conventions where they meet with other D. E. Clubs and compete in various contests such as job interview. The highlight of the year is the Annual Boss ' s Banquet held in honor of the employers of the working students. What do you mean, you want more time off? Students learn how to be good salesmen after classroom training.

Besiaes resembling a miniature newspaper it has also printed photographs of some of the year ' s important events. The thoughts and opinions of the students who are on the paper ' s staff are reflected in each edition. School activities, news items, and other topics of interest inform us about important school affairs. Many hours are spent in collecting news and writing articles for each publication.

Staff Members SPORTS EDITOR: NEWS EDITOR: 106 108 Devil Coach Gains Hundredth Victory On the thirteenth of October of this year, the mighty Red Devils defeated the Wake Forest Red Devils by the score of 13 to 12. To most spectators it was just another close game. That is not true. The victory over Wake Forest enabled one man to reacn a milestone in a coach ' s career. For on that night Coach Roy J. Brown acquired uis 100th victory. Coach Brown came here after graduating from Atlantic Christian College where he ex- celled both as a scholar and an athlete. Coach Brown ' s first season was a losing one but from 1950 to 1962 he had only two losing campaigns. The football teams of 1957 and 1959 went undefeated. The 1959 team went on to become state champions in class AA lootball. Coach Brown was chosen Coach of the Year and selected to coach the East team in the High School Shrine Game in Greensboro. Coach Brown ' s humor and personality are almost a tradition at SHS. He always seems to have a bit of humor to make his students laugh. However, on the field Brown is all busi- ness. His teams are Known tor their determination and spirit. 110 FIRST ROW: B. Jackson, D. Narron, E. Wall, B. Carroll, J. Creech, M, Langdon, J. Bullock. SECOND ROW: C. Avera, C. Wharton, B. Benson. H.

Henderson 35 SHS 0 The young, inexperienced Red Devils traveled to Henderson to open this season. The inexperience of the line was the key to the defeat. Sophomore quarterback Barry Foote had numerous passes dropped from the hands of his receiver. Early penalties set SHS in a hole they couldn ' t get out of all night. Foote did come through with a 46. 6 punting average for the night. Coach Brown cited the hard running of Bobby Benson, Bill Jackson, and Johnny Creech. Johnny Creech throws Henderson Quarterback for loss. North Johnston 13 SHS 13 We finally jelled , Boys didn ' t give up , were the words with which Coach Brown described the come from behind tie SHS had with NJHS. The devils had to over- come a 13 to 0 halftime deficit in the fourth quarter, Joe Parrish blocked a NJHS punt to change the tide of the game. Bill Jackson did some fabulous running and soon it was 13 to 6. Jackson continued his great running as Benson scored his second TD on a 7 yard run, Benson then made the all important extra point.

(RIGHT) ALEX WILSON Red Devil bench shows outcome of Clayton game. LEROY HAMILTON Clayton 53 SHS 7 Millbrook 34 SHS 7 The speed of Clayton and the crushing ground game of Millbrook caused the proud Devils of SHS to be decisively defeated. Clayton scored the second time they had the ball and quite a few times after that. Clayton hits with the long run that demoralizes. Millbrook was entirely different. They just ram the ball down your throats and kill you on defense. Millbrook had 375 yards total offense to SHS 78 yards. The bright spot in both games was the passing of Barry Foote. He still had numerous passes dropped. Jackson looks for his blocking in Clayton game. (RIGHT) STEVE GOWER Fuquay 26 SHS 20 The best way to describe SHS ' s offense was in the words of Coach Brown, The best offensive showing in two years, The mighty Red Devils showed they could come through but the defense let the Devil offense down time after time. Bill Jackson started off the offense with an 86 yard kickoff return only to be caught from behind on the three. Eddie Rabil took over for the injured Johnny Creech and his shifty style of running made him the star of the night. Big Steve Gower, Bobby Benson, and Carl Wharton shone on defense.

Not for Coach Brown and the Red Devils, The thirteen points on the thirteenth gave Coach Brown his 100th victory and the Red Devils this year ' s first. The offense continued in their new birth and came from behind to get the win. Barry Foote called an excellent game and the offense was very balanced. Two long Wake runs kept the Devil de- fense from posting their best mark yet. Coach Brown got a victory ride on the shoulders of the team and the game ball was also presented to him.

Apex 6 SHS 25 Smithfield ' s mighty Red Devils ' offense continued in its new found strength and ran over Apex 25 to 6. The Red Devil ground attack was in full gear and was led by Bobby Benson. Benson gained over 150 yards that night. Barry Foote continued to call another excellent game. Bill Jack- son and Eddie Rabil gained consistently around the ends. Stephen Woodard and Bradley Carroll led the offensive line. The defense limited Apex to just one first down in the first half and allowed them to get into SHS only late in the fourth quarter. The defense was high-lighted by Joe Parish ' s 65 yard runback of an intercepted pass. JOHNNY BULLOCK Eddie Rabil wiggles free for a large gam agamst Apex. Vaiden Whitley 13 SHS 6 The Red Devils next hosted the Vaiden Whitley Warriors and found out only too soon that they were really warriors. The Red Devil of- fense could not move the ball at all against these Warriors from Wake County. The Vaiden Whitley High School defense stopped almost everything that the Devils threw at them. Vaiden Whitley scored first as they drove for a touchdown the first time they had the ball. The next time the Red Devils had the ball they also started to move. On third down and long yardage, Barry Foote had a pass blocked and intercepted by a Vaiden Whitley line- man who ran 65 yards for a touchdown. The Devils finally got on the scoreboard with 30 seconds left. The big play was a 36 yard pass to Joe Parrish. Bobby Benson caught a 7 yard pass for the touchdown. 1 15 Benson 14 SHS 12 The resurgent Devils traveled to Benson to take on the Phantoms in their Homecoming game. The Devils had been having bad luck with injuries and penalties and on that night the bad luck hit its peak. Three times on third down and long yardage a penalty gave Benson first downs. The Devils had 100 yards more in total offense, but had 105 yards in penalties, 100 in the second half. The defense allowed Benson only 96 yards rushing, a team that was averaging over 200 yards, Barry Foote had his best night passing and scored both touchdowns with long passes, (LEFT) Jackson goes for long gain after catch- ing Foote pass. CHARLES A VERA Jackson secures victory with final TD. Selma 12 SHS 19 A determined and spirited Red Devil team took the field agamst arch-rival Selma and made Home- coming a success. Bobby Benson led the offense as he scored 13 points and gained 110 yards. He also caught a touchdown pass. Bill Jackson was another star as he rushed for 53 yards, caught a 44-yard touchdown pass, and scored the winning touchdown on a three -yard run. Coach Roy Brown said, The boys did have the heart and spirit to overcome the Selma lead and drive for the winning touchdown. I ' m really proud of them . Brown also praised the defensive play of linemen, Leroy Hamilton and Jerry Adams, and linebackers Bobby Benson, Charles A vera, and halfback, Carl Wharton.

Bill was the leading pass receiver in the conference. He caught 23 passes in ten games. His high for the year was six recep- tions against Millbrook. Bill was also the sec- ond leading ground gainer of the Red Devils this year. He gained well over 500 yards this year with his high of 105 against NJHS. All but five yards were in the second half. Jim Pell, the football coach at Benson after our game with them stated, Bill Jackson is probably the hardest runner in the conference to bring down. Jackson also was an excellent defensive back with his crisp, hard tackling. Football A II- Conference of ' 67 ALEX WILSON CAC All-Conference Honorable Mention Bobby Benson and Alex Wilson also got recognitions for their fine play in 1967. Bobby Benson led the team in rushing and had two nights in which he gained over 150 yards. Benson also led in tackles made on defense. Alex lson was sec- ond on the team in pass receiving and third in the conference, Alex was a major fac- tor in the SHS ground game with his excel- lent blocking. J.V. Football ' 67 FIRST ROW: W.

The Smithfield J. V. team was not a winning one, but it did shine in places. They almost defeated NJHS and Dunn, but bad breaks were their downfall. There was much varsity material on this team. Danny Strickland was the spear- head of the defensive team. Tom- my Corbett, Herbie Taylor, and Randy Castleberry led the line play. Danny Blackman was the main of- fensive threat. These boys could become a valuable asset to future Red Devil teams. Coach Brown talks about future Varsity material with J. V. coaches, Virgil Payne and Bobby Wayne Pope. 118 II FIRST ROW: Alex Wilson, Craig Ennis, Dwight Gay, Robbie Brown, Carl Wharton, Joe Austin, Steve Wilson, and Coach Bobby Pope. SECOND ROW: Barry Foote. Denton Lee, Craig Price, Steve Bryant, Eddie Patter- ' son, Jimmy Allen, and Stephen Woodard. Varsity Cagers If you had to sum up our 67-68 basketball squad in one word, that word would be unpredictable . The Red Devils, losing four starters from last year ' s team, started out on the right track as they stomped Four Oaks in the season ' s opener by 2 7 points, only to lose to them by five the next night. The Red Devils were held down by their inexperience, not to mention the flu epidemic they withstood. The highlight of the season was a 63-60 win over heavily favored Whitley. The Devils ended in sixth place in the conference, but the five teams ahead of them in the standings were rated among the top 15 teams in the state.

Keep the faith! was their battle cry As they ran onto the court with spirits high Six lovely girls in red and white Who tried their best to win each night; Sometimes was hard to get a shot, But once they started, they stayed Red-Hot. Wake Forest and Selma proved worthy foes; We just couldn ' t beat ' em, but that ' s the way it goes. Benson too proved hard to beat; In the double overtime they turned on the heat. We tried our best to win the race, But still ended up in third place. After a hard season of Payne and fun. Maybe next year we ' ll be number 1.

The Smithfield Red Devil nine again this year, as in the past two years, came up with a winning combination to take the Southern Division of the C. A.C. with a bril- liant 6-2 record. Not only did the Red Devils win their division, they went on to defeat Vaiden Whitley two games straight to win the 1967 Capital Area Conference Championship, They presented S, H. S, with its first Conference Championship in baseball since 1959. The Devils closed the season with a defeat at the hands of North Moore ' s Mustangs in the State playoffs and sported a 9-3 record at the conclusion of the season. 130 Devil Bats Boom!!! DEVILS SPLIT WITH CLAYTON With the help of a five run second inning and very quiet Red Devil bats, Clayton Comets breezed to a 5-1 victory in the open- ing game of the 1967 season. Carlton Overby and Johnny Creech collected the only two hits Smithfield could manage. Smithfield won the second encounter with Clayton but the Devils had to come from behind in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the score standing 3-2 in favor of Clayton, Overby singled and stole second. With two outs Hopkins hit a triple to the center field wall scoring Overby. Creech then singled in the winning run. 1st game: Winner - Parrish Loser - Hopkins Smithfield 000 000 1 Clayton 050 000 x 2nd game: Winner - Hopkins Loser - Parrish Clayton Smithfield 000 030 0 010 001 2 CRAIG ENNIS - SECOND BASE H 2 H E 10 3 9 2 SMITHFIELD TOPS BENSON TWICE Smithfield won both of their games with Benson this season.

A.C. play-offs, Ronnie Hopkins pitched a three- hitter and knocked in two runs with a double. Barry Foote had two for three to lead Smithfield. Smithfield popped Whitley 6-2 to win two straight gannes and the C.A.C, title. Ronnie Hopkins pitched and was backed up by some fine field play by the Devils. Whitley however, committed numerous er- rors and these errors proved to be their downfall. 1st game: Winner - Hopkins Loser - Shearin R H E Smithfield 003 001 0 4 7 3 V.

The outcome was a 5-1 victory by the Mustangs. North Moore ' s powerful bats did havoc with Red Devil pitching. Johnny Creech ' s seventh inning home run was the only tally Smithfield could man- age. Smithfield closed out its 1967 baseball campaign with a 10-4 record.

TdCK certain events, showed promise. Sparked by sprinters Cris Finch and Jay Ferguson, high jumper David Reid, 0 outstanding relay teams, the boys showed the right attitude all season and had the desire to win. The 1968 team should be strong in the distance events, the weights, and in the pole vault. 136 CRIS FINCH Cris Finch, a sprinter, ran the 100, the 440 and legs on both the mile and half-mile relays. He was given the coveted Most Valuable Play- er award in track. DAVID REID David was undefeated in regular season track meets and in conference meet in the high jump. He occasionally ran a leg in the mile relay. 137 MM JAY FERGUSON Jay was an outstanding per- former as a sprinter. He ran the 100, the 220 and legs on both relay teams. We were very proud of Jay ' s excellent work. HALF-MILE RELAY TEAM The half-mile relay team did a fine job all season and were un- defeated in regular season meets. Members of the team are Bob Keubler, KNEELING; and STAND- ING, left to right, Carl Wharton, Jay Ferguson, and Cris Finch. 138 JERRY PERNELL BILL TEAGUE NEAL WELCH RICHARD HOLT Golf - 1967 The 1967 Smithfield golf team compiled a record of 0-4. The losses were to Wake Forest, Vaiden- Whitley, Millbrook, and Fuquay. However, the team was composed of two freshmen, two sopho- mores, and only one senior; thus, the outlook for 1968 seems brighter. STEVE STEPHENSON The friends of every student, Joe Lassister, Gladys Graham, Ruth Bunch, and James Terrell. We caught Joe and James with their brooms down. Custodians Some people think that a principal runs a school but the students at S H. S. feel different. If it wasn ' t for Joe and James coming to school early in the morning to unlock the doors we wouldn ' t be able to get in. And who comes and gets the furnace going in the morning, why Joe of course. They are all apart of our life at school and have tried hard to make it a nice place. To our custodians we take off our hats and offer them a hardy thanks for all their work and friendship. Don ' t leave now ! 140 Lunchroom Staff Our cafeteria staff has done a marvelous job this year in preparing delicious meals.
