THE SHIELD The Making of an Annual . . . 1969 Volume XX Smithfield High School Smithfield, North Carolina Editor-in-Chief Steve Little Assistant Editor Tom Wright Table of Contents The Future page 4 Foreword page 5 Dedication page 6 sj™ Hi nj ! as ii: iii Faculty. page 8 The End of an Era page 24 i-m Classes page 65 page 44 Who ' s Who Activities page 107 Athletics page 152 A dvertisements page 98 Organizations page 123 Student Life page 159 Foreword Historians tell us that there is but one element in the affairs of men that remains constant. This element is change. Time does pass and with it people grow older, and familiar faces and landmarks become less distinct. The end of this school year will mark the beginning of a change for many people. This is to be the last year of the operation of Smithfield High School. Beginning in 1969, it will be part of a new consolidated school. A new high school will offer many advantages to its student body. Unlike our school, it will not be crowded. In addition, it will be a new and vigorous structure. It will be attractive and will incorporate the newest structural designs. Perhaps, it will offer more courses of study to those who will attend it. We trust that it will be staffed with the best personnel available. No reasonable person would argue that these features are not needed and desired. Yet it is with a note of sadness that we approach this transition. Smithfield High School has been to many of us more than just a school. It has been more than just a red, bricked building consisting of a series of classrooms where teachers tried to dispense knowledge. After all, for four years we have spent many of our waking hours in its old classrooms and corridors. This is the school whose name we shouted in athletic contests. This is the school whose colors we praised. And this is the school that has seen students graduate and children of th ose stu- dents enter and graduate. All of this must end. Never again will seniors march across its stage or order class rings in its cafeteria. No longer will the sounds of upper classmen complaining of term papers, tests, short lunch periods, and a thousand other items echo through its halls. The sights and sounds of high school students will vanish. The memories will grow dim and the thoughts of yesteryear will only be cherished by a few. Yet most of us will not forget. Smithfield High School - goodbye. Dedication For the past four years, one person has stood out as a teacher with unselfish, genuine interest in her students. As senior English teacher during her stay at Smithfield High School, Mrs. Leona Parrish has earned the title Guardian Angel of the Senior Class. Always doing more than her share to help her students, all of those who have been her pupils have come to admire and respect her. Her outgoing concern in developing the talents of expression in teen-agers has been well recog- nized by those who have taken her courses. It is with deep appreciation of a devoted woman that we dedicate the 1969 SHIELD to Mrs. Leona Parrish. SMITHFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 1903 10 For over three decades the names Principal A. G. Glenn and Smithfield High School were synonomous ... for during this time Mr. and Mrs. Glenn devoted their lives to Smithfield High and to the hundreds of students who have graduated from its midst. Both Principal and Mrs. Glenn knew all the students personally and were always willing to go that extra mile when it came to helping any student. Truly they were teachers in the finest sense of the word. The glowing memories of the many years of guidance and friendship from these two un- selfish leaders claims its place in the hearts of all who have known Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Glenn. 12 13 My Fair Lady As scenery, props, and costumes for the production of My Fair Lady at the time of the last SHIELD deadline, were not complete, we take this opportunity to include pictures of the extras which made My Fair Lady truly the greatest play ever given at Smithfield High. Smithfield — Selma Football Rivalry The Smithfield -Selma football game has become a tradition. Since 1945 an intense rivalry has evolved. The game is a classic clash of Devil versus Yellow Jacket. The well-oiled, dis- ciplined Smithfield attack has been sel- dom stopped. 1960 1959 State AA Champions Coach Brown with co-captains, Phil Ennis (25) and Frank Creech (55). In 1959 the Smithfield football team won the State A A Champion- ship. The ' 59 Devils defeated Boone in the final championship game. The Red Devils were undefeated and untied. A moment to remember 22 District Champs! 1957-58 Red Devils The 1957-58 Smithfield basketball team was one of the best. Led by Hobgood and Highsmith, they defeated Lumberton in the District Cham- pionship game. The Lumberton team that year was managed by John W. Floyd. The Red Devils in 1957-1958 had size, speed, and shooting ability. It would be impossible for a school the size of Smithfield High to run smoothly without the aid of a highly skilled and dedicated administrative staff. Smithfield is fortunate to have a highly competent principal, Mr. Bruce F. Sloan. Our two amiable secretaries stand always ready to help a student in distress. Mr. John W. Floyd , the Assistant Principal , aids Mr. Sloan and keeps track of the students. MR. BRUCE F. SLOAN Principal MR. JOHN W. FLOYD Assistant Principal MRS. C. W. TARLTON and MRS. W. H.

Freshmen and sophomores are introduced to the rules and skills of correct punctua- tion and spelling. Juniors study the great authors of America and their contributions to our heritage. Seniors begin writing in earnest as preparation for college study. They study the great authors and play- wrights, both contemporary and ancient, in an attempt to learn as much about the literary world as possible. Smithfield High School also offers speech classes under the direction of Mrs. Kay Wilkins. These stu- dents delve into the world of public speak- ing and debate. We are fortunate to be equipped with such an outstanding English department. Will somebody PLEASE wash my boards? 27 MRS. JUDY WORLEY B.S.

Such an understanding and appreciation can be par- tially gained through the study of social studies. United States History, world history, economics, and sociology and civics are among the courses offered in the social studies field at Smithfield High School. MISS LYNN ODOM B.S.

Smithfield High School welcomes Mr. Stevens to the staff. He discusses business practices with his students and helps them to locate lucrative positions in our town and neighboring communities. These students also receive on the job train- ing, with coaching from Mr. Stevens. This department is one of the most bene- ficial factions of Smithfield High ' s curriculum.

Their achievements and efforts in music, drama, and athletics have added much to the enjoyment of others. It was extremely difficult to select a Who ' s Who from a senior class which has numerous students who deserve recognition; however, those who have been accepted are exceptionally deserving. To these stu- dents goes the honor of being placed on the roster o f Who ' s Who. JAMES MAURICE ALLEN Jimmy ' s bright smile and easygoing nature have made him one of the most respected and best liked mem bers of the senior class.

During the school year the band presents various perform- ances; these include chapels, pep rallies, and ball games. Our band has traveled to many different towns to march in parades. The music they play ranges from the clas- sical, as often provided by the concert band, to jazz and Dixieland as performed by the Dance Band. This year the band is especially proud in providing the orches- tra for My Fair Lady. 108 Varsity Cheerleaders Foreground, Sharon Cameron (chief); FIRST ROW: left to right, Susan Parrish, Susan Pearce, Kay Southerland.

We have , in turn , planned our work accordingly in trying to make this year ' s annual the best one in our school ' s history. In keeping with the change that has come , we have added a special section dealing with Smith- field High School and its profound effect on our community from its earliest days until now. If you the student or your parents become nostalgic in reviewing this section , we the staff will know that all our work was worthwhile. Many long hours of hard work from every mem- ber of the staff have gone into this annual. We have tried to at least touch on every facet of school life at Smithfield High School this year. To include everything would be impossible, but what we have produced , we present to you - the student - to remember this year in your life. F.H.A. gina Griffin. The F. H.

The preseason experts had said that the Red Devils might finish third with a little luck. The season opened with Smithfield ' s traditional game with 3- A Henderson. Smithfield out- fought Henderson and seemed to have the game wrapped up, but a late Henderson score left the game tied 7-7 . . . North Johnston was the next obstacle. The Panthers proved to be a tough crew, and at the half, the score was 0-0. In the second half, the Smithfield defense proved to be the difference, as Smi thfield won 20-0 ... All Smithfield waited for the next game. Clayton had crushed Smithfield in 1967, and everyone wanted revenge. The game was a cliff-hanger with Smith- field winning 26 to 19 . . . Smithfield was now undefeated in three games. Against Fuquay the point total was lower but the defense was tougher. Bill Teague and Donald Liles were stellar performers. Mid-season came with Wake Forest and the Red Devils were in mid-sea- son form. Barry Foote took to the air to flatten Wake Forest 20-0 ... By now people were saying that Smithfield was doing it with mirrors, yet all Apex saw was a parade of red Smith- field jerseys crossing the goalline. The score was 71 to 7. Bill Teague had a hand in at least eight touchdowns . . . Vaiden Whitley was not impressed , however. They led the Red Devils for a half before going down 13 to 7. Homecoming and game number eight came next. The Phantoms, Smithfield ' s opponent, failed to materialize and the defense, led by Sammy Byrd, Bradley Carroll, Mack Langdon, and Jerry Adams, gave Smithfield its third shutout 28 to 0 . . . The long rivalry between Selma and Smithfield came to an end with Smithfield ' s 38 to 0 rout of Selma in game nine . . . Game number ten was with the mighty Millbrook Wildcats. This contest was for the Capital Area crown. The crowds came , and the rain fell , and fell , and fell. The score was 0-0 at the end. Yet the tie gave the title to Smithfield . . . Then the playoff game, a game played by injury-ridden teams, was played in Smithfield. Smith- field lost to Farmville 39 to 12. And so, the miracle ended. Yet for twenty players and several thousand fans this season ' s performance will be a memory to keep - perhaps forever!

Basketball - 1968-69 The 1968- 69 Red Devils hustled their way to finish in the first division of the tough Capital Area Conference. The Red Devils were led by starters Barry Foote (14. 2 ppg. , 14 rebounds), Craig Price (16. 3 ppg. , 12 rebounds), Craig Ennis, Steve Wilson, and Dwight Wiggs. Top reserves, Jimmy Allen and veteran, Joe Austin, did excellent work in substitu- tion. Highlights of the season were the two victories over Selma and a heartbreaking loss to Wake Forest after a spirited come back. Season ' s record - 10-13.

The 1968-1969 Smithfield Girls ' basketball team, the Red Angels, had a record of thirteen wins and eight losses. This record included one win over arch-rival Selma. Our team also gave a good account of itself in two losing contests with undefeated conference champion Fuquay. The starting six con- sisted of forwards Jane Austin Cunningham, Susie Knott, Brenda McCoy, and Brenda Jo Sullivan. The guards were Rebecca Talton and Jackie Shallcross. Also seeing action were Carol Cox, Bette Barnes, and Becky Lancaster. The leading scorer was Susie Knott, who averaged over 11 points per game. The team closed the season with a 22-20 loss to Clayton in the opening round of the Capital Area Conference tournament. RED DEVILS 1968: FRONT ROW: D. Overby, B. Stallings, Joe Parrish, B.

Smithfield ' s 1968 baseball team was one of its best. The team lost only one regular season game. This loss was to North Johnston and was quickly avenged in the next game between the two rivals. The entire Smithfield infield was selected as All- Conference. This honor has never been won before in the history of the Capital Area Conference. Many memories come back from the games of this out- standing team. Who can forget the fine pitching of Ronnie Hopkins and Barry Foote? One can still see catcher Johnny Creech throwing out runners. The double play combina- tion of Steve Bryant , Craig Ennis and Bill Jackson was al- ways thrilling. The outfield of Billy Barnes, Joe Parrish, Mickey Jones, and Danny Overby played fine defensive base- ball and often contributed timely hits. 145 Foote swings and there ' s a long drive .

Track - 1968 The ' 68 cindermen lacked the neces- sary depth required for a championship track team. The Devil thinclads were strong only in the 880 and mile in which they were led by Joe Austin, Johnny Whit- ley, Sam Smith, and Linwood Bunce. Ted Forbes participated in the high jump, pole vault, and shot put; he received the Most Valuable Player Award. Bruce Barnes, a freshman, displayed tremendous potential in the discus.

One of the three losses was to Vaiden- Whitley in sudden death. Another of the losses was to the Conference Cham- pion Wake Forest, and was by only a few strokes. Of the five golfers on the ' 68 team, four return for ' 69. 149 Left to right, they are James Terrell, Gladys Byrd, Ruth Bunch, and Joseph Lassiter. S One of the most important groups at Smithfield High School is the custodians. To this group falls the responsibilities of cleaning and up- keep of the several buildings and many classrooms at SHS. One of these people is Mr. Joseph Lassiter. Joe as he is called, seems to be every- where when he is needed. This includes repairing broken windows, fix- ing malfunctioning radiators, firing the old boiler, and working in the concession stand at ballgames. There may be a new school next year, but there will never be another Joe.
