As a vitally important part of the school adminis- tration, he has shown his wisdom and goodness by help- ing to make this institution an embodiment of all those ideals for which men should strive. The enthusiasm and good humor which pervade all his actions have endeared him to us and made him an indispensable part of our academic life. One of the strongest pillars in the structure of South Mecklenburg High School, he will always be re- membered by South students as “the man who cared e- nough to give his very best.” For wise guidance and leadership, for understanding and patience, for an ever-present smile and an ever-ready word of encouragement, we, the Class of 1965, express our deep gratitude and sincere admiration by the de- dication of our Somecka to Mr. Bruce Owens.

The red-hot Sabres, picked to finish a cold 7th in the conference, finished a streaking 2nd, with a fine ranking of sixth place among the state 4-A teams. Led by the brilliant quarterbacking of All-Stater Ed Atkinson and the fine coaching of Bob Patten, the mighty Sabres were dulled only three times in ten out- ings. Smashing victories over the perennial powerhouses, Garinger and Myers Park, helped pave the way to the best season in South’s six-year football history. Along with Atkinson, guard Rig Duncan was granted a berth on the North Garolina Shrine Bowl team. The Sabres placed more players on post-season i honorary teams than any other school in the Western 4-A Gonference; among those honored were center Tom McGaslin and center line-backer Furman Burt, end Rus- t ty Holcombe, fullback Mai Wall, tackle Joe Hatley, and I halfback Jimmy Griffin. i 14 The key to the success of the Sabres’ “Cinderella” Squad, as stated by many of the players, was the hard work and complete cooperation of each member of the team. , It is obvious, from the record compiled by the 1964 South gridders, that football has finally come into the spotlight as South’s dominating sport.

With an eruption of school spirit accompanied by a great deal of skill, the boys scored victory after victory in the 1964- 65 season. Coach Dave Price led the Sabres to a fifth place finish in the conference, producing a team respected throughout the county. Unexpected but welcomed sur- prises, brothers Hubert, Herbert, and Harry Davis con- trolled the backboards throughout the season while Jim- my Myers and Johnny Robinson provided the scoring power for the Sabre team. The Sabres were aided considerably by the depth of the team. Coach Price is expecting even more ex- perience with the returning juniors and rising Jayvees next season. This experience together with teamwork and full cooperation the Sabres picked off many old time rivals leading to an 11-9 season and a berth in the Conference tournament. Coaches: Parker and Price.

The Harriers, coached by Mr. Harold Lail, lacked depth and experience but hope for a more successful season next year. Donavon and Clement Wilson, the returning co- captains, will be the sparks igniting the flame for the Harrier’s aspiration to a conference title. Along with these participants, Mr. Lail is counting heavily on trans- fer George Blake, who finished 5th in the state tourna- ment, and on the rising sophomores who will add depth to next year’s squad.

Under the leadership of Coach Fred Boger, co-cap- tains Charlie Thomas and Tom Landis led the 1964 slug- gers to a great season and an 8-8 record. Tom Landis, named Player-of-the-Year, and Brad Barnette held places on the All-County team. After a tough first half, the South squad returned to place in a three-way tie for second in the latter half of the season. The team had good depth and reserve, plus a well- balanced pitching staff and good overall speed. The players’ high morale, which led to decisive wins over Myers Park, East, and Caringer, produced the best team in the school’s history.

Their fine comeback from a poor 2-9-1 record in 1964 was also helped by seniors Dennis Thaxton (7-3), Rusty Holcombe (5-2-2), Wayne Norris (7-2-1), and Hugh Thompson (5-3-1). Coach Patten is hoping for another good season with the help of return- ers Serrell, Lee Goodnight (7-2), and Jerry Withrow (4-4-2). Joe Hatley, grappler co-captain, placed 1st in the district tournament and went on to represent South at the state meet at Appalachian and also placed first in the Heavy-Weight Division.

State Champion Chuck Merriam re- turned as a junior in ’64 to slam his way through another fabulous year and to another first place finish in the state tournament. Under Coach Reed, the team placed first in the conference tournament, and finished with a 19-2 record. The 1965 team aspires to even greater heights with Merriam re- turning as a senior and captain of the team.

Injuries Plague ’64 Trackmen The 1964 South trackmen coached by Tom- my Schwartz could manage only a mediocre season. The team, led by junior Charles Keith, was plagued with misfortunes all year. Injur- ies to runners Allen Dasher and Bob Matheny are where Coach Schwartz felt the team was hardest hit. The 1964 Sabres lost only one senior, Ma- theny, through graduation, and therefore, the 1965 team is expected to provide tough com- petition for all opponents. New head coach Lenny Campagna is counting on experience to provide South with a winning season. Sabres off and running. 27 In its third year of existence, the tennis team, led by Coach Lynn Parker, had a successful season. Led by sen- iors Bill Findley and Marshall Karro, the South Netters fought their way to a season of four victories and nine defeats, starting the season with a 9-0 victory over Hard- ing. With returning letterman John Findlay leading the netters, the ’65 season should prove at least the equal of the last, as Coach Parker looks forward to a winning season.

BACK ROW: Neil Wester, Jerold The South High soccer team, off to a fine start last year, fell off this year due to a lack of ex- perience. With only two matches this year, both against Myers Park, the Sabres fared as well as could be expected, although no match for the more experi- enced Mustangs. The South team managed to score only one goal by John Findlay.

Sabre Cubs Post Fine Record Under the guidance of Coach Dave Price, the Jun- ior Varsity football team amassed an excellent record in the 1964 season. The team was one of good depth and balance, having drawn its members from an unusually talented group of junior high graduates from Quail Hol- low and Smith Junior Highs. Led by co-captains Mike Stirling and Randy Carmichael, the team battled to a second place in the conference with a record of four wins, two ties, and three losses, giving Coach Price his fourth consecutive winning team. Junior Varsity Action. I 30 Jr. Sabres - 4-A Champs The winning record of the Junior Gagers from Sabreland can be described as no less than sensational. Under the direction of Coach Charles Gerringer, the boys fought their way through a season of 14 wins and 4 losses, finishing the year with a first place in the Western 4-A Conference Championship, beating Myers Park in the finals. Outstanding performers on the court were Mike Stirling, Dennis Wean, Steve Lentz, Dennis Edwards, and Terry Florence. Highlights of the season were victories over North 77-48, Harding 72-40, and Hunter Huss 76-45. These high scoring Jayvees should prove welcome additions to the varsity in the coming years.

Our “littlest Sabre,’ Elena Maria Seis- dedos, came to South Mecklenburg on the Charlotte Exchange Student Pro- gram and lives with the W. J. Jorgen- sons of 3210 Eastburn Road. Ellen and her American sister Kristin have en- joyed many activities both in and out of school. To Ellen we extend our grat- itude for all she has brought us— an ef- fervescent smile, a friendly manner, and understanding of people not only from Argentina but also from all over the world. Working together is rewarding for Kristin and Ellen. Jan Tyler promotes work of CESP. For the second year at South Mecklenburg, the Charlotte Exchange Student Program has pro- moted international exchange of students. Certain students, chosen for their poise and compatibility with fellow students, receive a greater chance to study abroad than in any previous years. Selling note cards to raise money for these stu- dents has been the project of this year’s committee. ELENITA SEISDEDOS Gary tells of travels in Europe. Rio De Janeiro 463e Ml.

ISational Honor Society Initiates Members line up in gym lobby before fall induction. Scholarship, leadership, service and char- acter-all these traits composed the success of the South Mecklenburg Chapter of the National Honor Society for the school year 1964-65, the first complete nine-month per- iod that the Society has been in existence. The members of the Class of ’65 who are in the Society are proud bearers of the title “charter member.” Scholarship, upon which membership is partially based, plays an important part in the operation of the Society, and character and service are considered indispensible because, without enthusiasm, the club is of little value to the school. The South Mecklenburg Chapter, wish- ing to be considered primarily a service club, has aided the administration by pub- lishing a Student Directory. Among its more profitable projects has been tutoring, a money-raising project as well as a con- structive practice which has helped many students who may not have had an oppor- tunity to complete requirements for gradu- ation. Spirit, willingness, cooperation, loyalty —all these qualities, in addition to the four basic criteria, have made the NHS a highly respected and effective organization. Committee chairman.

They have worked for us by leading the entire student body at pep rallies and by encouraging good sportsmanship and support of our teams. This year’s head cheerleader, Lynn Burkholder, along with the other eight girls, attended city- wide conferences on cheering tech- niques. The students owe a large vote of thanks to these girls whose time and effort have gone into making this year’s “good ol’ South spirit” the best ever.

By supporting and improving the athletic program at South Mecklenburg, the Monogram Club has promoted and maintained interest in athletics, health, and sportsman- ship. The example and leadership of the members have shown to South’s students the importance of enthusiasm in the athletic program. The members assist in selling programs and refresh- ments at all sports events and have brought two sections of bleachers and five garbage cans for the gymnasium this year. They also donated $250.00 to the school for the purchase of a therapeutic bath for members of all athletic teams.

If you missed the first Band Bowl in Charlotte’s history, then you missed seeing the best school band in Charlotte. Under the direction of Mr. Neel, South’s band has become the topic of many praiseworthy news articles. Led by its first drum major, Steve Acuff, the band has played for our football games, pep rallies, and assemblies. We are very proud of the red and white uniforms that repre- sent South’s spirit so well. Band at Governor’s Inauguration.

Dramatic Club Participates In Pajama Game Each year our Dramatics Club stimulates the inter- est of many talented stu- dents in developing their individual abilities in the dramatic field. The group has continued work on be- coming a National Thes- pian Society Chapter. Assistance in acting, staging, and dancing from the club’s talented mem- bers has gone to make this year’s production, Pajama Game, the best yet. I Club members rehearse for Pajama Game. i 78 I The purpose of the For- ensic Club is to increase the members’ private and public speaking ability through debates, panel dis cussions and extemperan- eous speeches.

In learning more about the people, geography, and cultural heritage of Rome, members of the Latin Club, sponsored by Mrs. Mays, are able to further understand the language they are studying. This year topics for club meetings covered subjects con- cerning many foreign countries, as well as Italy. In the spring, club members and officers traveled to Chapel Hill for the State J. C. L. Convention; another of the year’s highlights was the annual Latin ban- quet. Members listen to interesting speaker during club meeting. 80 “La Salon Francaise” - - French Club Project Membership in “Les Provenceux” is open to all French students at South Mecklenburg. Through special programs and films, each member gains a great knowledge and deeper understanding of the French people, their customs and their culture. This year the French Club converted a confer- ence room in the library into a French Room, “La Salon Francais”. Books and pamphlets concerning France are placed in the room to aid French stu- dents in research and to promote a greater interest in France. Committee Chairmen Michele Stacy and Ginger Strawn organize club projects.

Spanish Honor Society Compiles Travel Data New members at symbolic induction ceremony. Both student body and faculty have been impressed by the amount of participa- tion and achievement which has marked the development of the Spanish National Hon- or Society. The members of South’s chapter, “El Cid,” are those students who have shown excellence in Spanish II, III, or IV. Organized in 1962 by the members of the Spanish IV class, the club accepts only those students who maintain a ninety-two average in Span- ish each quarter. The major project for the 1964-65 school year is the compilation of a list of students and teachers who have visited or lived in a foreign country. Such a roster could be used for obtaining speakers or special informa- tion about certain countries. 82 Officers Doug Franks, Fres., Ruth Kaemmerlen, Treas., Julie Pratt, Sec., Jerry Withrow, Vice-Pres., learn of National Spanish Honor Society news. Officers Mary Jo Jewell, Sec., Mike Harper, Pres., Judy Love, Treas., Jerry Withrow, Vice-Pres. Members Learn From Native Speakers Interest in Spanish- speaking countries was sparked this year by the arrival of Elenita Seisded- os, our foreign exchange student from Argentina. Fluency in the beautiful Spanish language has been encouraged by the Span- ish club, and programs have included outstanding speakers from Argentina and Bolivia. South considers such or- ganizations as the Spanish Club to be the most effec- tive- method for creating good will among the na- tions of the world. The customs and people of for- eign countries have been emphasized in striving for greater understanding. The members exhibit a sincere interest in the affairs of these countries as well as outstanding grades in their Spanish classes. Spanish Club listens to speaker from Peru.

To promote an apprecia- tion of the joys and satis- factions of homemaking is one of the main purposes of the Future Homemak- ers of America. Many goals are stressed in the club to further interest in home economics and to foster good citizenship through homemaking. The members, led by their sponsor Mrs. Lassit- er, and an experienced group of officers, have strived for better develop- ment of creative leader- ship in home and commu- nity life.

America is to bring together students in- terested in the teaching profession and per- mit them to take a realistie look at the many facets of teaching. Sponsored by Mrs. Phyllis Jones and Mrs. Elaine Ware, and led by officers Elaine Thomas, presi- dent; Joan Skiles, vice-president; Sarah Brooker, secretary; Pat Stirling, treasurer; Carolyn Kumerow, parliamentarian, and Sandi Bates, historian, the club has sought to fulfill its purpose this year through a series of programs illustrating the three levels of teaching— primary, secondary, and college. In addition, it has undertaken a number of special projects, including atten- dance at the State F.T.A. convention on the campus of the University of North Car- olina at Greensboro and serving as guides on College Night. The F.T.A. ended a successful year with their annual banquet. Committee Chairmen: Carolyn Greene, Carolvn Kum mw.

Math And Engineering Clubs Combine Memberships Broadening the concepts of high- er mathematics and strengthening skills needed in college sciences are the two main purposes of our South High Math Club and Engineers Club. The correlation of these two important fields enable the mem- bers to observe the many facets of both areas. This year the group visited the Central Piedmont Com- munity College and Eastern Air- lines, where the members learned a great deal about the application of modern math and science in computers. Math and Engineers Clubs merge for enlarged programs. Math Club Officers; Richard Morrison, Vice-President; Mrs. Mc- Nairy, advisor; Dick Hagemeyer, President; Val Mallas, Secretary- Treasurer. 87 Group discussions are an essential part of the Good Books Club. Members check school library for read- ing material. Literary Club Operates Book Store Founded on the premise that “Reading makes a Full Man” (Bacon), the Good Books Club meets twice a month to discuss a book se- lected and read by its mem- bers. South’s newest club, spon- sored by Mrs. Sidden and Mrs. Livingston, plans to sup- ply paperbacks to South stu- dents through a paperback book rack. It hopes to en- courage interest in and ap- preciation of good books. Good Books Chairman, Cynthia Love, Miss Sidden, and Mrs. Livingston, advisors, choose bopks to be discussed by club. 88 Politics Explored By New Young Americans Club The promotion of political interest and education among the students of South Mecklenburg has been greatly stimulated by the newly-fcrmed Young Americans Club. Protecting today’s freedom is the responsibility of every free person and by comparing our American democracy with that of other countries, young Americans can evaluate the stability of our nation in an anxious world. Guest speakers, debates, and field trips have added to the clubs ef- fectiveness in acquainting its members with America’s political organiza- tion. Charter Officers are: Walter Conger, Pres.; Doug Decatur, Vice-Pres.; Pa Honeycutt, Treas.; Linda Taylor, Sec.; Pat Dell-Ross, Parliamentarian; Dick Funderburke, His- torian.

Its purpose is to develop future leaders in business and to give incentive for recognition to its members. This year’s club was very active. The year began with a Parents’ Night Program and then the club at- tended the District Convention. At a Christmas party arrangements were made for a project to help a needy family. The Distributive Education Club hopes to improve the status in public schools of preparation for careers in marketing and distribution. Roberta Little at work as a D. E. student at Southern Bell.

Under excellent leadership, this year’s leading vo- cational club is striving to create greater understand- ing of and interest in career choices. Competitive work in the business world looms before many young people, and South’s present purpose is to help those students make a better adjustment. The Business Ed- ucation Club gives necessary encouragement and en- thusiasm through regular meetings in which student participation is at a maximum. Business Education Club advisor Mrs. Jones helps Joyce Greenrose with program. 91 The responsibility of transpor- tation to and from school of al- most 1,000 students rests on the bus drivers under the super- vision of Mr. Owens. Besides South’s students, transportation of students in the surrounding elementary and junior high schools is a large part of their work. Another major job this year has been the transporting of ele- mentary children throughout the city to concerts given at Ovens Auditorium. We can be very proud of our bus drivers because of the ef- ficiency and caution for which they are known. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow . . . .

With the enlargement of the cafeteria facilities last year and improvements this year, lunches at South are more varied and better than ever before. From entrees to ice cream our cafeteria offers the best. Responsibility for the good appearance of our buildings and grounds is well met under the able supervision of Mr. Poteat and his hard-working staff. Because of their valuable service, we can truely call South one of the better-cared-for schools. The maintenance staff is responsible for the machinery and the cleanliness of education. Edmisten, Owens: Firm Leadership And Guidance Mr. Edmisten and Mr. Owens confer about early morning business. Mr. Owens carries on much of his business over the telephone. The responsibility of administering the affairs of a complex school with a large student body falls on the capable shoulders of Mr. E. H. Edmisten and Mr. Bruce Owens. They work with leadership and under- standing toward the improvement of school condi- tions and the elimination of classroom problems. No subject, from air conditioning and bus drivers to sched- ules and clubs, is too small to receive their undivided attention; yet, in this busy schedule they take time to know each student as an individual rather than a face in the crowd or a statistic in a file. Mr. Edmisten pauses for a smile during a busy day. 96 JAMES HALSTEAD Carson-Newman College, B.A.; Ohio State Univ., M.A.; Sophomore Class Advisor. BETTY E. KNOX Gardner-Webb Junior College, A.

South’s counselors mull over guidance problems. Guiding students in their efforts to select a college, secure a job, plan a curriculum, or solve a personal problem provides a challenge for our coxmseling department. This year South is fortunate to have three competent coun- selors in the faculty. Each counselor may now spend more time with the individual student.

Men communicate their thoughts through speaking, writing, and reading; therefore, great emphasis is placed on these three areas. Through public speak- ing courses students are taught to ex- press their ideas orally in a clear, force- ful manner. In teaching the essentials of English grammar and the basic techni- ques of composition, teachers train their students to write concise, expressive prose. A study of the masterpieces of world literature developes an apprecia- tion of our literary heritage, imparts the ideals and reahties of past generations to today’s youth, and brings to them an awareness of the importance, beauty, and intricacy of the English language.

It has become increasingly necessary for the college - bound student to be well versed in foreign languages. South’s lan- guage department stresses the four basic language skills: speaking, aural compre- hension, writing, and reading. The ad- vanced classes are accomplishing this by the use of South’s modern language labor- atory and by increased study in foreign literature and culture. A fourth year Latin class has offered South students an opportunity for intensive study of Cicero. French and Latin students are doing parallel work with projects, while Spanish students are receiving concentrated drilling in pronunciation with the language labs.

C. Park Road Shopping Center The mold of our destinies has been only faintly cast. Treasured is the knowledge we have gained here. Happy were the hours that now drift into one blurred memory. Grateful are the hearts that reluctantly leave these proud halls. Warm are the friendships that have molded our lives. Saddened, hut hopeful, are our last moments together. Hew feet wish to walk our road of memories; New hearts desire to renew our spirit. A final, fading memory . . . A passing parade of our yesterdays . . . The challenge of tomorrow. 196 1 cv) , NCA I l O Y-vOL y j ■CAA vx - L K TnjL OyVv AXt4 c xC XXXAJ- CC X G ' 0 ' i Ve JK X. jre_ iKxX -C (NAftl CA-a 2 Jw Quotm) Vy p K- ' CT ' P- I uicr - ' OfYMuJt J? -xJwv ' J ljL .C V XO- iljTXycA I CIAjLOl 3 OLAvc L JIk- -§ crxrC ( VAXX- ( yOV V PUBLIC LIBRARY OF CHARLOUE AND MECKLENBURG CQUNn CHWtQTtI, in, .
