South Edgecombe High School - Maccripine Yearbook (Pinetops, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1969 volume:

For Reference Not to be taken from this library I •mu r MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS . . . Within these walls are found the joys of success and the sorrows of failure. Each of us at one time or another has experienced both. Though we forget for a while something may stir our memory and we recall our past. This is what we wish to do on these pages--to bring back to you some of the past year ' s events. A mind is not completely well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor. Samuel Taylor Coleridge Youth is wholly experimental. Robert Louis Stevenson HOW WILL YOU CAST YOUR HALLOT Experience makes us able pilots in the waves of fortune. Edward Young No man ' s knowledge, here, can go beyond his experience. John Locke Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Ralph Waldo Emerson The reward of a thing well done is to have done it. Ralph Waldo Emerson 1969 Maccripine Vol. XXI Pinetops North Carolina Dedication What does one look for in a person he re¬ spects? A high moral character, a true concern for others, a sincere desire for their well-being, or perhaps a willingness to help in any way pos¬ sible. We believe that each of these qualities is found in a member of our faculty here at South Edgecombe. This person is a teacher, dedicated to young people, giving much of her time and self to them. She was graduated from Red Oak High School, and Atlantic Christian College, and came to South Edgecombe in 1965. Since that time she has become a leader in the Science Department, sponsor of the Science Club, and has served as freshman and junior homeroom advisor. Therefore, to one who has given and meant so much to each of us, we dedicate the 1969 MACCRIPINE to Mrs. Tempie Fuller. 10 Administration In October, 1968, the Edgecombe County School System obtained a new superintendent, Mr. Lee R. Hall. Mr. Hall came to us from his position as the Assistant Superintendent of Bertie County. He attended East Carolina University and the University at Chapel Hill. Every morning from 8:00 to 8:15, Mr. Lilley is the most popular man in school. His office is packed with students trying to get absentee slips. In order to be readmitted to their classes, they must show an absentee slip signed by the princi¬ pal. Students who are sick or have to work, re¬ ceive an excused absence and are allowed to make up the work they missed. Filing important papers is one of the many duties Mrs. Meredith Webb performs as secretary of South Edgecombe. Because of Mrs. Webb, the school financial program runs smoothly. Mr. Brake, the Edgecombe County Attendance counselor, is often seen at Edgecombe. He checks on students who are often out of school and tries to find the reason of their absence. Administration During his busy day, the tele¬ phone saves Mr. Lilley many steps and much time as he carries out the duties of the principal of South Edgecombe. This instrument keeps him in touch and up-to-date with the outside world. The following men compose South Edgecomb ' s District Committee: Glenwood Wooten, A. H. Low- rance, Dr. Edwin Drew, Buster Webb, John Walston, and Vines Cobb, Jr. These men represent the community ' s wishes in matters which involve making a decision about local school policy. Mr. Hall, our new su¬ perintendent, visited our school to acquaint himself with the school personnel and campus. During this visit he and Mr. Buck Massey, the assistant superintendent, take time out to have lunch with Mr. Lilley in our school cafeteria. Mr. Lilley took this opportunity to introduce Mr. Hall to our school. DEPARTMENTS Music Without the aid of Beth Webb and Mike Eason, the mixed chorus would be singing Jingle Bells at graduation. These librarians along with Sharon Owens and Karen Webb gather and distribute music to the musical group. Okay, Elsie ! Mrs. Lovelace takes it from the top as Elsie Win¬ stead, one of the accompanists for the mixed chorus, counts out the beat for some new mus¬ ic . A Mrs. Jean Lovelace directs the Mixed Chorus every Tuesday and Friday during third period. She also leads the Quarter- notes every Wednesday. Mrs. Jean Lovelace Every Tuesday and Friday, Mrs. Lovelace devotes her time to the members of South Edgecombe s Mixed Cho¬ rus. Many hours of practice result in that final presentation. w L ig , i ' ' pgfev A Syffv i f . Commercial The typewriter and the shorthand pad symbolize the business world. Typing and shorthand are two skills which must be perfected in order to be a successful businessman. These first-year typing students are learning the basic fundamentals of typing. The skills they develop will prove to be helpful in the years to come. Mrs. Donna Jackson spends her class time teaching valuable courses, such as typing, bookkeeping, and short¬ hand . Under the guidance of Mrs. Jackson, these girls are learning a new language--the language of shorthand. In govern¬ ment, stu¬ dents study current events and the operation of ours and other govern¬ ments. San¬ dra looks as though she disagrees with some¬ one ' s views on the world situation. These Social Studies courses give our students a better out¬ look on the country in which they live. They also help them to become better citizens and leaders of tomorrow. Below is a group of juniors hard at work in their American History class. Each junior in high school is required to take this course. Social Mrs. Gail Felton Want to know something about history? Ask Mrs. Felton. She ' s a whiz at history. Mrs. Felton teaches American History and Government. Besides teaching his¬ tory, she also teaches Economics and Sociology. Happy Day ! This World History class is getting back tests they have taken. Some of them who have already receiv¬ ed Studies Mr. James Lloyd Who is Napoleon? This is more than likely a common question asked in Mr. Lloyd ' s World History class. Mr. Lloyd is a new addition to the faculty this year. Along with teaching World His¬ tory and English, he also coaches the boy ' s junior varsity basketball team. their papers look disappointed, while others anxiously await the return of their own papers. Anyone have a question? asks Mr. Lloyd. To help get the point across to his students Mr. Lloyd sometimes writes notes on the overhead projector. In physical science stu¬ dents study light, sound, electricity, machines, and the combination of atoms. This class shows that science can be fun. During their study of pe¬ troleum, members of Mr. Bogue ' s science class tried to make pen¬ tane molecules from molecular models. This course gives students an introduction to chemis¬ try. Rodney explains to Kirby that electron configuration is just as simple as Is, 2s, 3s. Kirby just doesn ' t understand the SPDF of it. ! Science BELOW: What does a lever pulley? asks Ann, as Wes tries to under¬ stand feminine logic in the phys¬ ics class. Ask Mr. Bogue is the general state¬ ment in any dispute over E=mc ! Mr. Bogue teaches physics, chemistry, and physical science. Mr. Thomas Bogue Science Ugh! Grimy, slimy, says Deborah. Mike doesn ' t look as if this particular biology lesson is his favorite either. Ray thinks he has dis¬ covered something new, until Mrs. Fuller explains that he ' s been looking at his own re¬ flection. An unlikely candidate to find among the frogs and earthworms, is Mrs. Tempie Fuller. However her real joy is teaching biology to budding young scien¬ tists. Mrs. Tempie Fuller Even Mrs. Fuller looks a bit green as Wayne and Allen operate on laboratory frogs. Maybe it was the smell of formaldehyde that caused them to have such an expression. Math Mrs. Mary Jo Eason 2 2 2 a + b = c is a common theorem to Mrs. Eason. Along with Advanced Math, she teaches Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry. This Advanced Math class looks very busy. Wonder if they are struggling with problems dealing with logarithms or double identities. Looks as if Geometry class is over for the day. Evidently these students do not use the extra time wisely. Mrs. Eason will find out when she gives the next pop test. Obviously, Algebra II has to be studied out¬ side of the classroom, as shown here by Betty Jean Varnell. She is busily doing her Al¬ gebra homework dur¬ ing her study hall. Wonder if Charlene Heath is also working on her Algebra or just glancing at the book. 20 Algebra I, a new and exciting challenge for this group of freshman. It is one of the many new challenges they meet upon entering high school. Mr. Charlie Tyer Guidance I Which one? asks Kirby as he looks over ma¬ terial about the wide variety of college and high¬ er educational opportunities. Students can find this information in Mr. Tyer ' s outer office. Mr. Tyer is shown here discussing with Ed Stokes and Jimmy Williford their plans for the future. If you have a problem about your future and what you plan to do, ask Mr. lyei, he always has the right advice. 21 Mr. Tyer, the guidance counse¬ lor helps the students throughout the year by helping to solve the many problems they face. He is responsible for making sure that the juniors and seniors apply for the S. A. T. One of the less glamorous jobs of the guidance counselor is the delivery of mail and films to the teachers. He also talks to them about particular students who have applied for college entrance. Writing recommendations is a part of his daily routine. Mrs. Ellis Phillips Je ne vous comprends pas is a common statement heard in Mrs. Phillips ' s French class. Along with French she teaches English to budding young juniors. These French students must have discovered something they didn ' t know before. It looks as though it amused them quite a bit. In French the students learn songs in French, French foods, and they also learn a lot about France in general. French j Mrs. Phillips writes French on the board to I help her students get a better understanding of it. Wonder if the students can read and understand it after she writes it on the board One of the projects of this English class was reading a book in class. They also learned a lot about the newspaper and giving speeches. English One of the main events in senior English is writing research papers. Here Richard For¬ bes and Kent Deans are busily working on theirs. The se¬ niors have aslo en¬ joyed studying MACBETH this year. This year as the seniors were reading MACBETH they were entertained by Mrs. Phillips, who read the part of the three witches to them. The class found this very en¬ joyable . Mrs. Brenda Stallings Who is Shakespeare ? This is a common statement made in Mrs. Stallings ' English class. Mrs. Stal¬ lings is a new addition to our fac¬ ulty this year. She teaches Senior and Sophomore English. Mrs. Stallings ' s classes enjoy her reading to the class. It helps them to understand the story or poem she reads. At the beginning of this year Mrs. Stallings ' classes had a unit on speech. Here Johnny Davis is giving a demonstration speech. He is demonstrating a B a ckhoe, a device that goes on a tractor. This is one of the many types of speeches the students were required to give. Vocational After one hour of working in ag. mechanics, these boys are shown how grimy this work can be, but the satisfaction of accomplishment is often great and the dirt is forgotten. Mr. James T. Abrams Mr. Abrams has completed anouther year of outstanding service in the agricultural department at South Edgecombe. In ag. mechanics, the boys are taught how to disassemble and repair a motor. Under the guidance of Mr. Abrams, the boys learn the parts and how they work. Agriculture Mr. Richard Bradley As another vocational teacher at South Edgecombe, Mr. Bradley explains the basic fundamentals of farming. He also teaches Horticulture, in which the students learn how to grow and care for different types of plants. Mr. Abrams and Mr. Bradley supervise the ag¬ ricultural teachers from N.C. State University in Raleigh. From greenhouse to headhouse ... A regular and steady walk in the course of horticulture. These students are learn¬ ing to plant and raise plants in the greenhouse. Under the direction of Mr. Bradley, these freshmen boys are studying the first year Introduction to Agriculture. In this course, the boys learn about the variety of occupations of¬ fered in this field. Home Economics Mrs. OlaMae Noble As home economics teacher, Mrs. Noble had dedicated her career to helping others to learn the du¬ ties necessary for future home life. The seniors in the family life class are holding a panel discussion on consumer education. This panel is giving the amounts the average consumer spends in one year. Here Faye Whitley is learning the art of sewing. All girls face this at one time or another, but the prob¬ lem is Will the garment fit? Along with sewing, the girls in home economics also learn about child care, and also how to cook different types of meals. This course helps the girls to become better home¬ makers. Debbie A. Owens is shown here reading to a group of small children. This course on child develop¬ ment is fun because the class studies children by observing them. 26 Physical Education Mr. Keith Pittman These students are not on LSD . . . They ' re developing their bodies by participating in the physical education program. Lay ups and crab soccer are only a part of the activities that the program offers. Along with serving as coach and regular classroom teacher, Mr. Pittman also teaches Physical Education. He also supervises the study of Mr. Wadsworth, a practice teacher from East Carolina University. Mrs. Mamie C. Griffen This year, due to an extra teacher, Mrs. Griffin has been made full-time librarian. Her time and effort in arranging the books and keeping the library neat is appreciated by the students. The most popular spot in the library is the magazine rack. With its wide variety of news media, it ' s no wonder the students like it so much. ' •mmsiutp. Library With that all-important senior theme coming up, any help will be welcome. Here, Mrs. Griffin is showing Sue Webb how to find information concerning her paper. With the wide variety of resources located here, the library is in constant use . Vickie Sue Walters President Thomas Edward Smith Jr. Vice President Deborah Faye Owens Secretary Rebecca Doris Lane Treasurer Seniors Mascots Elizabeth Anne Webb Reporter 1 The mascots chosen by the se¬ nior class were Elizabeth Carl¬ ton and Tim Drew. Four year-old Elizabeth, daugh¬ ter of Mr. and Mrs. Phil Carl¬ ton, was chosen mascot by the senior class because of her song If I Knew You Were Coming. Elizabeth loves to watch Petticoat Junction and loves to eat fried chicken. Six year-old Tim Drew, is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Edwin Drew. Tim loves to watch Bugs Bunny and enjoys any¬ thing chocolate. Tim was cho¬ sen our mascot because of his version of the twist. Elizabeth and Tim will attend all func¬ tions . 30 5 Seniors Charlotte Marian Abrams Olivia Dianne Baker Ann Audrey Batts Audrey Kay Bullock Randolph Cobb Jr. William Logue Corbett Dennis Ward Crisp Kathy Edmondson Crisp Larry Allen Crisp Johnnie Lang Davis Kenneth Hugh Deans Sandra Lynn Eason Two healthy looking Senior specimens make good use of the school library facilities during their study hall. Is it possible that Dennis and Bert have fallen asleep over their magazines? Richard, chairman of the Motto Committee, seems to be giving a lot of thought to one motto that he and the others chose for the Seniors to vote on. The motto that the Seniors voted was Learning is ever in the freshness of its youth, even for the old.

Much of a senior ' s time is spent in Mr. Tyer ' s office, looking for information about technical schools, colleges, or getting a job. Without Mr. Tyer ' s willing help the seniors would be lost. Beside providing valuable information for the students our guidance coun¬ selor spends much time helping senior gain entrance to institutions of higher learning. He also aids students in obtaining scholarships and other financial aid. James Irvin Reason James Edwin Scott Thomas Leonard Stallings Betty Sue Webb Edwin Grey Stokes Jr. Brenda Faye Webb Georgia Wandean Webb Wanda Lee Webb Seniors Webster McKenneth James Thomas Elsie Elizabeth Williams Jr. Williford Winstead David Phillips looks a little undecided as the other seniors vote on a suggestion for the senior class colors. Senior class meetings are not an every day occurrence but when they happen the seniors take full advantage of them. It ' s a wonder we got everything finished for graduation. But, with luck we did. Work, Work! it ' s that time of the year again. The senior English research paper has to be written. As you can see Logue Corbett is busy at work trying to get that good grade so he can graduate. We wish you all the luck Logue.

After all the excitement these happy Juniors take a breather. They are as follows: Princess, Sharon Mosley; Prince, Bill Varnell; Lady, Janero Bunting; and Lord, Wallace Horton. Sophomores With one year behind them, the sophomore officers, Patricia Brid- gers, President; Randy Harrell, Vice-President; Ginger Wallace, Secretary; Dennis Morris, Trea¬ surer; Loren Miller, Reporter; can look forward to two more years of fun and work at South Edgecombe. Here they inspect the new lobby that was added to the gym. This addition has been a great asset to our school. m | ?! t : m it tnl | ' ■ • ; SI is i Mtm; I One of the many challenges a sophomore must face is the possi¬ bility of a college education. They know they must begin to prepare themselves early if they expect to enter the college of their choice. One of the many ways they begin this preparation is by taking the PSAT. This gives them some insight as to their ability to do college work. Jim Abrams Brenda Baker M. L.

Promotes Leadership Pictured here are the newest leaders of the chapter, Billy Griffin and Richard Smith. They teach classes as student teachers from N. C. State. Mr. Abrams has much work which must be done in his office. He has given much time and service to the S.E. Chapter. He has worked many years as the Ag. teacher at South Edgecombe. Mr. Bradley, our advisor for the past 5 years, is shown here working in the new library. The new library is a good im¬ provement over the old Ag. shop since it presents a quiet place to work. Above are the member of the Fu¬ ture Farmers of America. All these boys are enrolled in a course of vocational agriculture. Each member has the chance to enter individual contest that are given among FFA chapters. Promotes Team Competition Here are members of the FFA that are on the Quartet and Parliamentary Procedure team. The boys spend many hours in practice before the day of the contest. These teams have won first place in the federation contest. They will represent the federation in the district con¬ test and we hope they will go on to the state contest. Phases Of Vocational Agriculture Mechanics Many mechanical problems come into the Ag. shop. Mr. Abrams explains what needs to be done and then it ' s up to the boys to do it. Sometimes a problem arises and Mr. Abrams has to give his personal assistance. Mr. Abrams also teaches carpentry. The boys are taught the use of tools that are used in this phase of the program. Carpentry Mr. Bradley teaches the freshmen boys. Here, he is listening while the members of the class practice Par¬ liamentary Procedure. Parliamentary Procedure Future Homemakers Of America This year the F. H. A. has fulfilled its goal, to become an active club and inspire its members to strive toward new horizons. Their activities for this year have included a Cake Decoration Demonstration and serving at the P. T. A. Supper. For money-raising projects, the club has conducted a Bake Sale, a Sadie Hawkins Dance and sold Stanley products. The F. H. A. also sponsored a fashion show, which is a learning experience for all of its members. The national theme for the F. H. A. also shows our chapter ' s goal-- Citizenship: A Challenge to Cher¬ ish. I don ' t wanna to git hitched! I don ' t wanna ! cries Butch Turner to announce the Captivating Sadie Hawkins Day Dance. p 1 f 1 ’• , 1 :i L mi FHA Mrs. Noble is delighted to help Karen Webb prepare to serve at the Annual P. T. A. Supper. Mrs. Noble aided some of the F. H. A. girls in making aprons and napkins for the waitresses to wear. The Home Economics III class is continuing its education in the construction of garments. Shown here is Linda Webb, thoroughly ab¬ sorbed in sewing her garment. Today, sew¬ ing is a valuable asset to a girl. As a Future Homemaker, this knowledge results in sa¬ vings, as well as pleasure. The officers of the F.H. A. are SEATED. They are Sylvia Whitfield, Recreation Leader; Deborah Womble, Re¬ porter; Karen Webb, Song Leader; Dena Webb, Lay Representative; Wanda Webb, Treasurer; Zora Drake, Par¬ liamentarian; Elsie Winstead, Pianist; and Yvonne Thompson, Historian. STANDING are Connie Crisp, Secre¬ tary; Sandra Eason, President; and Beth Webb, Vice-President. As an F.H. A. project, the club sponsors Barbara Blindifold, a resident of Caswell Training Center. Here Sandra Eason pre¬ sents her with a Christmas gift. These F.H. A. members are enjoying a visit from Santa Claus. One would hardly recognize Zora Drake underneath all that cotton. FHA The Sadie Hawkins Dance, sponsored by the F.H. A. provided a chance for South Edgecombe students to really swing. The music was pro¬ vided by the fabu¬ lous Dynamics. Science Club The South Edgecombe Science Club is made up of 10th, 11th, and 12th graders with a 90 or above average in any science course. It undertakes to widen the knowledge of its members and to help them be prepared to live in a scientific world. I The Science Club officers are Ben Harrell, Reporter; Thomas Smith, President; Wallace Horton, Secre¬ tary-Treasurer; Kirby Fuller, Rep¬ resentative; Cynthia Brown, Vice- President. Mrs. Fuller, the Science Club ' s sponsor, helps the club in many ways. She arranges our field trips to many interesting places, and encourages each member to do his best in the field of science. At the January PTA meeting, Cynthia gave an inter¬ esting talk about the Science Club, its activities, and what it stands for. One of the aims of the Beta Club is service. Vickie Sue ful fills this goal by tutoring Bobby Webb in American History. This project was begun this year and proved successful enough to be continued in the future. Beta Club The Brandy Glass Candles have finally arrived, and Sandra Eason and Vickie Sue Walters help unpack them. Thus begins a long and hard campaign of selling. The club ' s treasurer, Jackie Whitlar, finds it takes much time and effort to keep the club ' s financial affairs in order. The Beta Club includes persons who desire to achieve academically. Ben Harrell spends his time wisely in ad¬ vanced math class and has even delved deeper in ad¬ vanced assignments. To promote its principle of leadership, the members carefully selected a very capable person for the office of secre¬ tary. Sandra Eason has the task of making hotel reservations, keeping club minutes, and taking care of the club ' s correspondence. The advisor, Mrs. Eason, devotes not only her time, but her sincere efforts to make it possible for THE BETA CLUB MEMBERS to attend the state convention. BELOW: Beta members listen attentively to the advice Mrs. Eason has for money-making projects. Annual Staff Maybe I ' m not much to look at, but I ' m getting my job done, says Becky as she types away on the senior directory. Deborah, Jackie, and Tommie discuss which pictures best express the situation. They are used in the most effective way to tell the story of South Edgecombe in picture form. Wanda and Sandra spent many long hours com¬ pleting the ' senior directory. This assures the se- noirs of an accurate record of accomplishments during their 4 years of high school. Wayne crops his pictures to the exact size needed. Here he shows another task of the annual staff. The selection of the best pictures is a main fac¬ tor in a successful annual. As this group of an¬ nual staff members clearly shows, it ' s quite a chore. In order to be successful, it is necessary to have a suc¬ cessful circulation campaign. This year our annual staff sold subscriptions to about 90% of our student body. Mr. Bogue explains how to arrange a layout on a triplicate copy. These are then sent to the pub¬ lisher who deciphers this information and prints our annual. 59 The Student Council officers are Mike Eason, Treasurer; Doris Cale, Secretary; Anne Webb, President; Mona Gardner, Vice-President. The officers of our Student Council have a great responsibility in providing good lead¬ ership to our school. Student Council Mrs. Felton is giving some much needed advice to Anne and Mona. She has been the Student Council ' s advisor for four years, and she has been outstand¬ ing in providing the school and council with guidance and wisdom in many important matters affecting the students. Anne has great responsibilities as Presi¬ dent of the Student Council, Chairman of the Advisory Council, and Official Representative of our student body. r 1 ' F Vi The Student Council has the responsi¬ bility of being the govern¬ ing body of our school. It must take many impor¬ tant decisions during the school year. Here it is de¬ bating over a decision that will affect this year ' s homecoming. The Advisory Council is a body which investigates any misconduct at school functions, and advises Mr. Lilly on what punishment, if any, should be exacted of the persons responsible. The Clean-Up Committee inspects each homeroom on Friday mornings, and the winner is announced on the P. A. system at the end of the day. This helps to promote cleanliness in our school, and to improve its appearance. The Student Council is responsible for having devotions every morning. Here Gloria Lewis is taking her turn at en¬ lightening our school with a morning meditation. Mrs. Lovelace, the Mixed Chorus director, has many duties to perform in her operation of the Chorus. Here, she plays a selection that the Chorus will later sing at one of their annual programs. The Mixed Chorus sings as one mostly, but it is made up of approximately 65 completely dif¬ ferent individuals. Sometimes it is a little difi — cult to get these individuals arranged as a per¬ forming group. Mixed Chorus The Mixed Chorus Officers are gathered around the piano for a little singing. The officers are, Debra lhorne, Vice President; John Walston, Student Council Representative; Sharon Mosely, Secretary; David Phillips, Trea¬ surer; Becky Lane, President; Mike Eason, Karen Webb, Beth Webb,and Sharon Owens, Librarians. Mrs Lovelace is in the background. 1 i � 1 As the Mixed Chorus arranges itself on the risers, Mrs. Lovelace goes about trying to get everyone quiet and in place. To some of the Mixed Chorus members, this is the time and place for play, but to perform correctly re¬ quires a lot of hard work. Mrs. Lovelace stresses such principles as proper breathing and the correct sitting and standing positions for the Mixed Chorus members. Most of the singers try to please Mrs. Lovelace by following the suggestions she makes. I Butch, Ben, Stanley, Tunney, and Ro¬ bert Earl find a little time for cutting- up while everyone else comes in for a period of work on the Chorus ' Christmas I music. Mixed Chorus Not only does Mrs. Lovelace have the job of directing the Mixed Cho¬ rus, but she also selects from her singers a group of girls called the Quarternotes. They consist of Sharon Moseley, Bonner Phillips, Freddie Turner, Carolyn Glover, Becky Lane, Sandra Eason, Elsie Winstead, Cynthia Bxown, Gatsy Owens, Karen Webb, Beth Webb, Mona Gardner, and Martha Cobb. Out Homecoming is an occasion that is looked forward to by all members of South Edgecombe, especially the members of the homecoming court. The court is made up of two boys and two girls from each class. Here are our prince and princess. King And Queen Hom ecoming 1968-’69 Our 1968 homecoming theme was, We are Thankful for Good Leadership as shown by our lobby scene, The Horn of Plenty. Here are the lords and ladies from each class. They were the runners-up in their class by a vote of the student body. The smiles on their faces are in anticipation of the sock-hop, which will follow. The very proud King and Queen receive their sceptor and cape and return to their seat to be crowned. The queen also received a bouquet of roses and the king a gift. The beauty of Wednesday night would not be possible without a lot of hard work on Tuesday night. Here the Monogram Club decorates. 65 Mrs. Stallings, our sponsor, has really made the Drama Club a going thing. Her enthusiasm and imagination play a major role in the success of the club. Drama officers are Vivian Harris, Betty Land, Sandra Shelton, Debbie Owens, Carol Jo Morris, and Janero Bunting. Even though the Drama Club is still young, it ' s growing by leaps and bounds. Future Teachers Of America Mona Gardner, a future teacher, is tutoring Faye Gardner in American History. Many history students were helped because of members like Mona. Sharon Moseley, secretary is checking the roll while Kathy keeps an alert eye on her members. Elsie Winstead is helping Mrs. Felton by putting Government notes on the projector. Wanda Webb and Sandra Eason are drawing a map of North Carolina ' s Congressional districts. They ‘are only two of the many F. T. A. members that spend their spare time helping teachers. The paper staff at as usual, displays their ability as editors, by turning out a school newspaper about four times a year. These papers are purchased by the student body for 10ct a copy and are a major source of entertainment for the students. Mrs. Jackosn, advisor of FBLA, Vivian Harris, President and Bobby Harper a member, show the art of compatibility between teacher and students. Mrs. Jackson is always willing to listen to the problems of FBLA members and try to work out a solution. Leaders they are. Marian, Ann, Yvonne, and George discuss plans for a program. Programs may range from film strips to Parliamentary educational and entertaining. if rtf if Sharon beams at Mr. Pitt¬ man as he in¬ forms her the Mono¬ gram Club will sponsor her in the Miss Edge¬ combe Beauty Pageant. This pageant is a major source of income for the FBLA. Bus Drivers This year South Edgecombe has only one girl bus driver. Bus drivers are re¬ quired to keep daily records of bus milage and pupils riding the bus. They must total these reports and hand them in at the end of the month. The biggest thrill is receiving the check earned for the month. Every bus driver deserves it. This year South Edgecombe has only one girl out of the thirteen bus drivers. Sometimes the buses have mechanical problems. Jerry Denton, our school mechanic does what he can to keep the buses continually going. He comes to the school every morning and gets the bus driver ' s complaints and fixes the problem. Mr. Lilley often finds it necessary to meet with the bus drivers at South Edgecombe. He has to remind them to keep the buses clean and to keep the daily records so that they will be correct at the end of the month. It ' s 3:15 and the buses are leaving. It is the duty of the bus driver to follow all traffic rules in order to get the children home safely. With the long awaited night finally here, these couples show their enthusiasm by having a swinging time on the dance floor. Each spring, the annual Junior-Senior Prom is held in the Multi-purpose room at South Edgecombe. The theme for the ' 68 prom was In Apple Blossom Time . By the look on everyones ' face it was plain to see that they had an enjoyable evening. With lovely girls in beautiful gowns and hand¬ some boys, the dance was as beautiful as a dream. It was a night that will be long remembered by everyone who attended. Junior- Senior Prom Oh, my poor feet! was a commonly used phrase on Junior-Senior night. Here Allen and Kathy, Gerald and Pat, decide to sit this dance out and enjoy the music. 70 Our Junior-Senior was well supplied with music by the Okaysions who have released top hit songs.

The 1968 banquet was honored by having Duke coach, Vic Bubas, as guest. The Monogram Club is proud of the new trophy case, a gift to the school from the ' 68 and ' 69 graduating classes. Here the officers are busy ( ?) preparing the case for a home basketball game. The library club officers are Debbie Owens, Mac Morgan, Donna Langley, and Albert Hedgepeth. These officers assist the librarian in planning library club activities. The card catalogue is a very important device in finding the location of a book in the library. Brenda Baker and Carol Jo Morris are taking full advantage of it. Mrs. Griffin Our full time librarian keeps the library running smoothly and quiet at all times for the benefit of all the students. Here she is working dutifully to keep the library up tight . The library club is a very ef¬ ficient and hard working organization which has the responsibility of helping to keep the library run¬ ning smoothly at all times and assisting Mrs. Griffin in the task of library administration. The Varsity Cheerleaders look a little dazed at an afternoon practice session. One of them seems to be having a really marvelous time, doesn ' t she? The cheerleaders are (BOTTOM ROW) Beth M. Webb, Debbie F. Owens, Ann Williford, Karen Webb; (MIDDLE ROW) Mary Lou Walston, Becky Lane, chief; Carol Ann Proctor; (TOP ROW) Sharon Moseley, Rhonda Spain, and Beth Webb. Cheerleaders The Junior Varsity Cheerleaders for this year are (BOTTOM) Gloria Lewis, Linda Ivey, Debbie A. Owens, Doris Cale; (MIDDLE) Emily Gardner, Ruby Chapman, Debra Jackson; (TOP) Dena Webb, chief. Below, the two cheerleader chiefs, Becky and Dena, show a spirit of cooperation as the discuss the South Edgecombe Spirit Stick. •� !• Boys’ Basketball Jack, Dudley, and Wallace jump rope as part of the warm-up drills during practice. These drills are de¬ signed to develop muscles and build endurance in each player. Other warm-up activities include suicide, reaction, defensive, and ball-handling drills. As the dragons burst onto the court, they are greeted by the spirited cheers of the varsity cheerleaders. The re¬ ception given them is a boost to team morale. Thomas shows his scoring ability by shooting over his defensive man. As the center for the dragons, Thomas ' rebounding record has also been outstanding. 76 Keeping accurate records is the job of the statistician. Webster is a great asset to the coaches and players. This year ' s Junior Varsity team is composed of ten freshmen and two sophomores. These players hope to fill the shoes (sneakers) of the present varsity team. Mr. Pittman demonstrates proper defensive stance, a vital part of the DRAGONS ' full-court press. Jack Ellis waits anxiously for the time keeper to signal him to enter the game. The remainer of the team looks on hopefully. Bobby and Thomas rush in with anticipation of capturing the rebound despite the opposing team ' s efforts. Rebounds often prove to be a decisive factor in a basketball game. A tremendous aid to the coaches and players is Tommie Stallings, who puts forth both his time and effort traveling with the team and keeping score. Much thanks the team extends to one who so deserves it! Mr. James Lloyd ' s first year at S.E.H.S. has brought him the responsibility of training the Junior-Varsity team. The J. V. boys admire him for his coaching ability and friendly attitude. During his spare time Coach Pittman keeps up-to-date on the latest developments in the field of basketball. Careful thought and much planning are necessary for a successful season. In mid-January 1969, his boys basketball team was first in Wilson- Edgecombe Conference having won six and no losses. His team was also ranked fifth in eastern North Carolina among class A schools with a record of 15-2. i South Edgecombe Dragons Gerald Morgan flinches with the exertion of power as he drives the ball deep in center field. Baseball Rushing headlong Leroy Turner has his eye trained on a ground ball. HUSTLE, HUSTLE shouts Coach Pittman as the players come up to the dug out. Girls Basketball The 1968-69 Dragonette team consists of 3 seniors, 4 juniors, 2 sophomores, 7 freshmen. The lady Dragons are looking forward to a successful season with two girls returning to their starting positions. Mona performs one of her many tasks as manager as she puts up the balls after practice. The captains for the respective teams meet at half court where they are instructed about how the game will be conducted. Coach Lewis Eason talks with his girls as he outlines strategy for the upcoming game. The seats are not good but we are sure he is teaching good strategy. Dragonettes In Action Debbie tries frantically to block a pass as Anne and Betty Jean look on. Debbie shoots from in close as Stokes-Pactolus player tries to defend. The defense closes in as they anticipate the rebound. Debbie controls the tap as Anne and Sandra wait to receive it.

First, members of the annual staff had to plan and work together as a team. We did this under the leader¬ ship of Mr. Thomas Bogue, who pushed and pulled us through many situations. Mrs Brenda Stallings and Elsie Winstead helped with the proofreading and corrections of our annual. Faculty members were always willing to spare a little of their class time for just one more picture. Our advertisers backed us financially by their generous advertising. iqm Without the willing work of staff members, Mr. Bogue, advertisers, and the faculty, the 1969 Maccn pine would not have been possible. if Tommie Stallings, Editor F.H.A. 1,2, 3, 4; F.B.L.A. 3,4; Officer 3; Paper Staff 4; Library Club 2; Officer 2; Student Johnnie Lang Davis Council 1; Homecoming Court 1; Homeroom Officer 1,2,3; Cheerleader 2; Chief 2.
