People are a little mixed up to what this BIG sport is all about. BASEBALL USTERIKE THREE! WHAT'D YOU MEAN? YOU'RE AS CRAZY AS ue! Meanwhile play has resumed. This is baseball. Baseball is a hard game to stomach some- times, for no matter how much you argue with the umpire, he is not going to change his senile mind, even if you are right. Most of our umpires came from Goldsboro, the famous home- land of Cherry Hospital and friends. This made the going rough, and getting along with them was impossible! The 1969-70 team had a con- ference record of 3-11. The record itself was not very im- pressive, but we made a lot of headway compared to the sea- sons before. Many of our school records were broken. Lonnie Lucas made the all conference team with a 360 batting aver- age. Tom Ham described Dail Bass as the pint-sized scrappy fireballing left-hander. And although we lost the game 2-1, Bass held out. jLa Fate. Fiesta. ! Last year at Southern Nash we entertained schools here in our auditor- ium. We had a Dentist's Office, a school classroom, and a Hee “wt Dyn 2? Haw'' show. The results were pretty successful. I think everyone en- joyed the skits (even if no one could understand what was going on.) We really practiced a lot before the final showdown. I think that was three fourths of the fun. . . getting out of class, We were really disappointed when Northem got up in the middle of the Fiesta and left. I guess we understand how it was because the previous year we had to do the same at their school. It just seemed they made a lot more noise than was necessary. If you get right down to it, no matter what they would have done, there would have been something said about it. Te ON THE SCENE Spring Hope, NC 27882 ACCREDATION Most people say, Ah, accreditation is a bunch of bull the school has to go through so it will make things easier on those kids trying to get to college. This is true in itself, but it isn't the main objective. We want improvement in the school itself so it will benefit all the students, not just those going to college. One day we, the students, will be the community; therefore, it is important to mold, prepare, and shape us for the world ahead. JR.

I guess I was just a little jealous that I couldn't take part in the fun. If it hadn't been for me I bet everyone would have been a little less happy. I wasn't thought about for what I was though, so I guess that could account for a bit of my cyni- cism. I guess crepe paper has always had a reputation for being a little conceited, but I was simply beautiful. I really fixed up that place a lot with the help of a few human friends, and they got all the credit. This Junior-Senior was a product of yours truly. With my aid the Juniors created a pleasing effect. I saw you as you walked into the gym and it was love at first sight. Take that for what it's worth. BASEBALL LA FETE FIESTA JSR.-SR.

A space rocket held the theme of the night with stars hang- ing in the background, women in their formals, (the same ones who previous- ly yelled their heads off as they jumped up and down on the bleachers that were now so inconspicuously concealed up against the wall, all wrapped in crepe paper), and men in their tuxs -- all holding moon beams (or rather rocks) which they received at the door. The band was strictly 'Ivy League (you know, the type with the blue shirts with french cuffs and collars, and that white tie -- by all means!) besides the one KKK -- ''Kool Kolert Kid -- WHAT color? -- in the group getting funky on the microphone. Don't get me wrong. . . I like the band! Entertainment was headed by Nancy Smith and her colleagues, who master- mindedly invented a fortune teller (Louis Edwards) who solved the devast- ating problems with just a birth date as a clue. Pretty good, hey? Anybody got a dime? Spongehead (Billy Westray) couldn't GHDT ( get his diaper together) and Mrs, Taylor was outasight -- as in not on the scene -- not with it -- GONE, you know. As was the whole place before the night was over -- REALLY SPACED OUT! SE Ea. De PRA a SE Sd the year of MAGAZINES Magazines burst out with the beginning of school. There were a lot of people sur- prised we started our school projects so early in the year. But I guess we found out through the trial and error method that we're living in tobacco country and you have to hit the public when they have the most money. It proved pretty successful this year. Although we didn't sell as much in the way of figures, we profited more. I guess this was due to the fact that some of the magazines offered gave the school more commission. We sold $3,619.01 and received about $1,895. 79 commission. Last year we sold $5,017.76 and received $1,407.30 com- mission. The money received from these projects went into the hands of the SCA who distributed it among the vari- ous clubs in our school. The Name Of The Game Is More Than Money Along with the magazine sales, the candy sales came at the first of the school year. We didn't out sell last year's quota but at least we sold about the same. Last year and this year we sold $3,600.00 worth of candy and received $1,350. 00 profit on the sale. This money, along with that of the magazine, went to- ward providing necessit- ies for our clubs at South- ern. The candy sold for fifty cents a bar. It was pure milk chocolate and after the sales, the kids around here looked like one big pimple. (if you'll excuse the gross similie). 1971 SCA But we think you should know a little of what the SCA did for you this year. After all they are our men in congress and we need to know what is going on. They helped you seniors get a few more privileges this year. Nothing really that can be pin pointed but mostly the new light that was shed on you as almighty seniors. Enough said, you're going to get swell headed. They are now in the process of writing resolutions to send to the School Board of Directors on subjects like exemp- tion from exams if you have an A aver- age in a particular subject. They are trying to get the Junior High gym in the southern part of the county before the northern part of the county gets it. We've had more dances in one half of this year than all of last year. That certainly says something. They have alloted money for the cheerleaders to treat conference cheerleaders. They have decided to put the matter of chang- ing the present emblem to a more fierce fire- bird into the hands of the Pep Club. Changes are now being made. Now that we are a big- ger Firebird, we should have a bigger symbol! ON THE SCENE We had a college night this year in which representatives from many colleges in our state and a few other states came to inform the students on what their college had to PEOPLE offer us. They gave our pamphlets and other info that included college or university requirements, available courses, outside curriculum and other areas of interest. It was held here at the school on a school night in class rooms throughout the building. Re- freshments were served in the cafeteria afterwards with all invited to attend. The outcome was pretty good, and the students were made aware college life was just around the corner. We had a bonfire this year during football season. This was a new addition to our social life here at Southern. The atmosphere (besides being smokey and super cold) was truly that Firebird spirit that everyone has talked about and hoped for. It was a night previous to our homecoming game and we had a Dixon player all prepared. 'He' was stuffed with cotton and dressed for the fire. We burned 'him! in effigy hoping the night of the game we would equally burn Dixon up with all the fire we could muster. AFTERWARDS ...DANCE HOMECOMING Talk about a rotten atmosphere! It is really depressing! All the football players came straggling in, tired as heck, and in this case disappointed as heck. You stand there, not knowing what to say. I mean it's really freaky! . . . Like somebody died or something. There's nothing you can say to make things better. It gets to be an obsession. To see who can cheer up the players is the name of the game. Finally after the game has been won, everyone got down to business. And dancing was the business. Jamie played for the dance 'till 12:00. It was another step forward for South- ern. Now we were succeeding to have fun together as well as work together. The night was successful. Noth- ing involved except a whole lota shaking going on! It's hard to tell the events of a game that no one really believed when it was all over with. The fans were so high strung through- out the entire game. They were well prepared for Dixon. The bon- fire we had previously had, set the atmosphere for a win. The players were reasonably confident. You could tell by looking at them. It seemed they held their heads a little higher than usual. That night they were really proud to wear that uniform. They had a confident student body behind them they felt they couldn't disappoint. I watched them from the sidelines. It's quite a different game. You not only share the feelings of the fans, but of the players as well. You see their expressions as they come off the field. They were hurt or disgusted at a bad move they'd made. They looked like men when you saw their rigid outlines, but at the same time they seemed like little children. Their faces wore a little boys expression, a dirty face with a gleaming eye, not from sweat, but emotion. They smelled not bad, not dirty, not soiled, but rotten. . . But it was a good smell. It wasn't repulsive. It made you want to hug their necks. If only they weren't hauled off to the dressing room as soon as the game was over. The fans miss all these things that you experience when you stand there with them. It's part of the game. . . then losing isn't so hard to accept. We lost but for some reason, that night COMING « HOME 1S WANING THal IA Ht ON PRINK HAS NolHiNG To Do WiTH 17... Go! Firebirds if That's what it's all about. Firebirds have made a name and heritage here at S.N.S.H. lhe Firebirds came first with the team sports, but now everyone here at Southern is a Fire- bird. The Firebirds have lived ina world of change this year, and loved it. So many things have come about that all of us have waited for. Classrings came early for Juniors. (Mr. Barbee -- bet- ter known as Santa Claus). The annual staff was allowed a money making project to help cover the expense of our yearbook, Pep rallies are now what they should be, The students have that Firebird spirit! We have several new teachers with us this year, The academic courses were supposed to have been made easier to help the people out a little but if the change was made, you couldn't prove it by me!

As you can well see, we had a diverse selec- tion from which to choose: any- thing to please anyone. This and other reasons could have been a contributing factor explaining the success of our sale. Although last year's sale added up to more in the way of money, this year we made more profit. We were happy to have the oppor- tunity of making a little spending money for the school and please the public the way this young man seems to be pleased: all wrapped up in the magazine and completely 'Zonked !!

Lightening and thunder came together as one to act as a fire-cracker. A main transformer at the C.B, Aycock field blew up and the game had to be postponed. Everyone was looking forward to this game. The fans were anxious to see how Jerry Ball, our new coach, would try to transform a losing bunch of scrubs into a winning bunch Oba scrilpsm September 7 on Aycock — 18, S.N. — 12 = Nervousness overcame -us. Our opponents had one game's experience onus. We were tight and made a few fatal mistakes. The fans and cheerleaders traveled twice the distance to see us. Twice, they were disappointed. When you lose, you not only let yourself down, but also earnest fans and cheer- leaders. Quit! Those Of Us At The Meeting Didn’t Know Quite What To Expect. September 11 Farmville 34 — SN-0 Only four days after the Aycock game, we took the field against Farmville. We didn't hustle and we couldn't do anything right. The team morale was very low after this game. We knew it would be tough enough to get up for next week's game. September 18 Oxford Orphanage 72 — S.N. 14 Practice was rough this week. We were looking forward to playing our first game at home, but we weren't too enthusiastic about playing one of the top ranked teams in the state. Some people evidently think it's fun to lose. I've probably been asked a hundred times by no one in particular, 'What happened toryal lie! September 21 — Practice About this time of year practice was physical torture. The morale was extremely low, and the coaches were doing their best to get us ready for our game with Southern Wayne. Our practice started at 3:45. The temperature was 90° plus. The object of our sessions, seemingly, was to kill each other. We had one drill in which an of- fensive man faced a defensive man, each in their respective stances. The offensive tried to bury the defensive man in the dust. We usually did this for about 30 or 40 minutes. Then we hit the blocking sled in various drills. The heat was sometimes unbear- able. It drained energy as a mag- net draws metal. We left the field about 6:45 and the first taste of water showed me what heaven must be like. September 25 Southern Wayne 47... S.N. 0 THEY WERE BIG!

We were prepared for this game, and fortunately we were able to capitalize on some key breaks. Someone who has never played football can't begin to realize what it's like to win. When you put so much time and effort into something like football and get results like victory... it's beautiful. After the game, the fans came pouring out onto the field. Like I said, it was beautiful. October 30 N. Lenior 14 — S.N. 6 Our field was one big mud pie. It rained throughout the game and footing was treacherous. We weren't humiliated, but we were still beat en. November 26 Dixon 26 — S.N. 20 I used to think it was funny or stupid for anyone over nine years old to cry about anything. After the game, we sat in front of our lockers. Heads were hung, and shame was apparent. Tears were in everyone's eyes. EPILOG It seemed to me as if we had played two seasons in one. C. B, Aycock-Hobton was our first season, and Greene Central- Dixon was the last. We changed and improved that much. The following men have played their last game for Southern Nash: Lewis Edwards, Douglas Hinton, Leland Lamm, Mckinley Pulley, and Billy Westray.

I can say for sure that we have improved tremendously since then. We have played under trying circumstances. There have been times when we knew the odds were stacked against us, but we still ran on the field with unequaled life. When we were literally destroyed, our so-called supporters often criticized us. Many boys at this school continually made little of us. Saying things like, 'Well I could have done better than that . But they never came out and butted heads with us. . . they would have been killed. They didn't have the guts! This year there has been more interest in the football team, but we have a long way to go. This year many Sophomores came out. Several played with the varsity, the rest were on the Jayvee, they gained a lot of valu- able experience. They are your future, support.them. They have the po- tential, if they try, to become some of the best in any conference. You Sophomores that played football have matured more than the others. You will be the school leaders of the future. Set high standards for the players coming up from Jr. High. There will be more of you on the team next year, fulfill your role, play with yow heart. As for you Juniors, next year you will be the team leaders. As Seniors you won't have to be told what is expected of you. By the time it gets down to the final game, you will realize how important football has been to you. Don't wait 'till those last few games, start now! Good luck! 36 TRIBUTE These are the people who hold the hope for the future and the memor- ies of the past. Without their support, Southern Nash would have no inter- scholastic sports program. The athletes atS.N.S.H. would also like to thank the coaches, faculty members, and cheerleaders for their leadership and encouragement. a. . we? — 2. - aS : i ae 2 : SOUTHERN NASH SENIOR HIGH Firebirds'! 1970-71 .

At this point, I could only guess as to the outcome of our battle. During most of the first half the scores stayed relatively close. Then near the end of the second quarter, the Firebirds seemed to 'get the fever'. When the floor was cleared for the half, we led by twelve points. During half time, I talked to several of the fans who were amazed, but not very optimistic. They just didn't want to get their hopes up. . . neither did I. The second half began and shortly, that lead wascut to.two':.. then. ... zero. I knew we could do it. . . could, but would we?

Hugged 'em all! So what if they needed showers, we had won! = hen ce 2 2? ish Sehoe! ? The annual staff went through a lot. A lot that declared they would never be a united staff, but we finally made it. We know from past experience that pleasing every- one is impossible. We know that the dream of everyone's picture being in the annual is quite impossible, so we didn't try to make a photo album out of it. We tried to make it a book; a book that should be read as a book is read, but unlike a book, you read with pictures and words. It tells a story from the end of last year until this year when it had to go to press in January. We've made quite a few changes in our approach and we hope you'll like them. We § are learning still what makes a good year- book and many of us have been in this busi- ness for quite a while. We don't claim to know all there is to know so we've accepted ™ a lot of suggestions in order to make the book more realistic to you as an individual. We have a little more for our almighty Seniors this year. I don't suppose you under- | classmen appreciate that too much, but you'll be a senior one day too. We also tried to elaborate a little on sports this year. We felt it was an intrical part of life here at Southern, so it should have a little more. There were a lot of cold nights spent in that Publications room and many a cold day too. We had to forfeit seeing some of the games this year to work in the annual staff room, or in the concession stand. It was all a part of the year though and looking back on it, every laughing tear shed brought me a lot closer to the student body here at Southern Nash. We would like to thank Mr. Boyette, our advisor for always being there. I guess we should rightfully thank his wife also. She stood by her husband and fed all of us at one time or another. We would also like to thank Mr. Allegood, our representative, for putting up with us. He's become part of the family here at Southern for the staff. We owe what you're reading now to the business department. They were so patient about our stealing their typewriters every time they turned around. Thanks to the businesses who helped us out by buying a yearbook, And thanks most of all to the students. For if it weren't for you, we would have done a lot of work in vain. oved Advisor — Mr. Boyette | 54 JOURNALISM ) Patricia Veste Sr. Editor A hin ites | Vi ie Jordan Jennifer Bass oF i a . 55 NS a ries S x A ros It’s the Sound of -MUSIC- !i! This year our music and band have been greatly influenced by student involvement this year. They have become in- volved with expressing themselves in their singing and playing, and being free to ex- press themselves in various other musical activities. These things have helped to make this year's chorus and band at Southern Nash Senior High the best yet! SRI “SL a ly Physical Education P. E. is not just a subject to take to full up your schedule. It is a course which builds up your mind and body. This year every sophomore was required to take at least one semester of P.E. This is a very rewarding course; unfortunately not many students take advantages of the advanced P.E. for girls and boys. So next year when you have an empty space in your schedule sign up for P.E. 62 BUSINESS H2ZAmMentrueto eC For people who dream 6x+2-3x+? in their sleep, I say -- THAT'S NICE! Math is a Do your homework subject and ''pay attention on class period that can pull a per- son's mind out the window. No offense to those figured students. I just ain't one! Math to me is asking, 'How the heck do you do this? calling for help when I feel energetic, singing with the trio in the back of the room when I'm lost in those blankydy-blank equations, and watching that slow hand creep around to fifteen and ring GO! This is no insult to my teacher, now. I think she must have hated me. But math, it ain't my bag.

WHOEVER SAID HISTORY WAS A DRAG, NEVER HAD MARTIN LILES. WHOEVER SAID HISTORY WAS A BORE, NEVER HAD MR. DALEY. Sy hy aii French And Spanish Spanish is a mucho pain in the neck if you haven't leamed the basics. Spanish lis memorizing. It doesn't make heads or tails, and those Spanish records are hilarious, (Like listening to _ our communist friends across the ocean when your radio loses KIX -- frustration!) our second year of Spanish _is conjugation (God I con- ‘jugated verbs in my sleep!) You find out all your friends have decided not to take it, and you are petrified! You hear the Spanish teacher is Spanish and you wish to God Souther had 'Drop-add. Mrs. Gonzalez reads her welcome because she doesn't trust her English that well. You say 'Outasite ’ and you mean it literally. All of us laughed at each other 'til we could laugh no more, but we leamed. We leamed the accent, the culture, and Spanish progressed (along _ with Mrs. Gonzalez's English). Paula could never et her d's to sound like th's and Felix Hopkins had his _ card to translate words, and _ Beba kept her southern accent while the French III students, who were in the same room with us, trotted over to Mrs. Beasley's room for help, worked in their workbooks, or sat looking at us in hope to pick up the meaning of the conservation. You cram about ten years of living French and Spanish into about four years of high school. It can be an insight of learning, and a tie to our foreign allies, or a hard subject that doesn't make any sense. In essence, t's up to the individual. Paper, pencils and pens are a vital part of stu- dent activity, but one never knows when his pen might go on strike. Your pen- cil may decide to get lost while your paper may serve another.

Run by D.E. students ‘with Mr. Low as overseer, The Southern Nash student is able to purchase school needs or a snack. The school store, Open to serve you, gives D.E. stu- dents the oppor- tunity of on=the- job training which is combined with classwork to pro-' voke rewarding business and edu- cation benefits. On-the+job train- ing also includes student employ- ment in outside jobs. While work- ing on school time and over, the Student receives a salary! SUINVHOWW OLIV 76 td I.C.T. at Southern Nash Senior High is meeting the needs of both the students in- volved as well as the society which it serves. The basic purpose is to prepare in school, youth for employment in a specific or closely allied, trade, technical, or service occupation. The skills and related technical information taught to the students are those which are needed by the typical worker in an occupational area. Participa- tion in the program instills in students an appreciation and understanding of the work done by other occupations and how this work fits into the total economic process. Many students that otherwise might be neglected, experience a sense of achie- vement and development of potentialities through occupational education. HEALTH Have you seen those girls walking around in those blue skirts and the white blouse? Well! They take Health Oc- cupations. They are the nice sweet girls who work in the clinic in Wilson. They like people and they want to help people. Most want to become nurses. They're off to a good start. 78 2k 79 Drafting How many of us have dreamed of a perfect house? All of us, right? How many of us have been able to draw the perfect house? Almost nobody! In Drafting, you learn how. Have you ever thrilled to the ridges in bolts? Have you ever had the urge to make a diagram of these delightful little creatures? In Drafting, you get to release all your inner tensions. You even find out why the door in your room goes to the left when it is supposed to go to the right. Commercial Sewing This course allows girls who are interested in sewing to do their own thing. These girls learn the basics plus all the fancy work of sewing. They enjoy sewing and they're good at it. They can sew a much prettier dress than you could buy for 20 dollars! MASONRY The building industry is partially covered by Masonry and Construction Industry. Masonry along with Con- struction Industry is DOING something. In most classes, all you do is study and write. However, in these classes you can show something for your work. CA RPEN Carpentry is exacting work. Introduction to Electricity is risky work. These are part of the department that pro- vides occupational explora - tory experience and on-the- job training in a variety of ways. '' How about that! INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICITY | DEATH BE NOT PROUD Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow Die not, poor Death; nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be, Much pl easure; then from thee much more must flow; And soonest our best men with thee do go -- Rest of their bones and souls' delivery! Thou'rt slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell; And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well And better than thy stroke. Why swell'st thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally, And Death shall be no more: Death, thou shalt die.

Bae good APEC haat 1973 ( oe s i : Dear Sophomores; As you begin your step into the fast pace of senior high and joyously bid farewell to punkhood, we bid you welcome! Commencing your various studies that will make you a man of great letters, you will reflect many memories, but anticipate many more varied activities. Although you have been so _. disdainfully asked to pin your diapers time and time again, hold your chin up and smile. It is all _ preparation for the fearsome world ahead of you, and most important, it teaches you how to treat the _ uprising underclassmen. Your roll seems minute and unimportant, but your degrading of oneself is _ not expedient. Why if it weren't for you the Juniors would be the ridiculed ones. Don't you think they _ are raptured that you are the notorious? Of course! Just think! The Seniors would have no one to make pernicious posters for at the pep rallies. They would have only one class sitting obediently while they leave the gymtorium. Our school would have wasted an ample amount of money on Sophomore books, equipment, and supplies! There would be so few people taking Biology that Mr. Aycock and Mrs. Smith would be out of work. This would result in poverty and a lot less Christmas presents for little ; fore, much unhappiness! The toilets would be a lot cleaner probably, along with the walls, and then the maid would be out of work! The school would waste a would be winning most all games in Southern's name. ys would be no longer in use. All that equipment would be wasted. More money down the drain that could be used to charter buses for the upperclassmen, serve them refreshments every week, provide three telephones for useage, plant a jiving juke box, or have dances with every Friday _ night, and wouldn't THAT be disgraceful! There would be less students to sell annuals to; therefore, __ this page would not have been able to appear in this book, and by now, I'm sure you wish it weren't. _ You Sophomores know we jest for fun. Look at this as a little more preparation. Think how fortunate _ and intelligent you will be after this year! You will have had two years of on the job training. It _ Must seem savagely cruel and unfair, but think of your revenge on the uprising Sophomores! Grin as your lustful barbarism takes hold of those greenies.''

Yeah you, with your nose in the air! So you have completed a couple of years in high school, so you aren't a lower classman any longer, so what! You still aren't an almighty SENIOR. You haven't advanced to that level as of yet. You haven't learned to manipulate your teachers as well, cut your classes as easily, and skip your tests as readily. Your pictures remain the same size in the yearbook, and you don't have our privileges as of yet, so please remove your nose from the sky before it gets . tained in. You. may have gotten your class rings earlier, and just because you get the spirit stick all the time doesn't mean you are anything but BIG MOUTHS ! : Juniors, we salute you though. You have shown great wisdom during our pep rallies as you yelled, 2, _4,6,8, who do we appreciate? SENIORS! SENIORS ! SENIORS ! ' You always were obedient lads; you Sat very straight and proud in your seats as we entered or left the gym and never complained when the sophomores scurried out along with the seniors. The envy was evident throughout your proud mien, but although you were too shy to show it, we hold no grudge. You saw our omnipotence and we thank you. ‘The job you did on our Junior-Senior was outstandingly good. The few doubts we had of your potential were removed and we came to respect you more. Thanks for a Junior-Senior that will always remain in our memory. _ You have accomplished much this year and were rewarded too favorable, because much was accom- _ plished more for your position as Juniors than for the good of the school. Yes, you, Merle Hendricks, did get us a spot on the radio; Angela Skinner, you gave us some competition, recognition and cover- age in the paper; and yes for the Lord's sake above, Moose, we knew you took pictures at our football and basketball games, dinners, meetings, debates, discussions, etc. and even though they were guess who pictures at times, we are thankful that you told us who they were and closed your ears with i another stride ahead. You had your nose in a little bit of everything including the fight for the com- munity building in Spring Hope, and that all-fired idea o f ZPG (Zero Population Growth) chapter to be started at Southern, but died. And we must admit , you helped us to zero in the communication gap between Juniors and Seniors, but so what? Juniors are Juniors and although you will not always be Juniors, you are now. You should savor your dignified mien for later usage and bow down to your almighty superiors. After all, what are Juniors for but to give Seniors senority ?

He asked Herbert Pulley, a Negro guidance counselor. who had served on the Pitt County Good Neighbor Council, and me, a young white teacher considered close to the students, to help guide the student council. Pulley and I decided to discard the old system of student govern- ment which had operated at traditional a new - abadent eovertiehe We attempted to represent all shades _ of student opinion on the commit- tee, ‘authority and a from teachers’ pets ‘ to downright troublemakers. Though a few murmurs were heard from bine fellow faculty members about our selections, we wanted to avoid a “‘credibility gap” bet- _ ween the student body and the new student council by using a steering committee which truly represented . the — students’ feelings. We assured the steering come mittee that it had complete free- dom to establish whatever form of student government it thought best for Southern Nash. There was only one absolute guideline which Pulley and I constantly stressed — all students must be guaranteed representation hy _ the new student council. Voice for Blocks. The Committee soon ‘realized that the biggest single obstacle _ in designing a new system was in assuring the black students a voice in the SCA. Negroes were a minority at Southern Nash: of about 1,300 students, just over _ 40 per cent were black. The ir committee felt that if elections were held for the traditional student body officers — president, vice president, secretary and treasurer —.then whites would probably sweep the election, due to the larger number. This had indeed happened at other schools, and in some cases violence had broken out between the. races as an outgrowth of such elections. Feeling that strict majority rule would probably deny the rights of the Negro minority and perhaps open the door to racial hostility, the committee eliminated the forms of student government and began thinking in totally new directions. _ _ Finally after many unusual pro- Se SS Gam bs met ttt | CSGSRRRReSRSReees CAREC ei: “ i farsi ) The day has arrived.

Webster defines devotion as ardent love or affection for something. For forty years Mrs. Laurine T. Lassiter has fulfilled these requirements with her energies and talents for the educa- tion of the young. We the younger gen- eration, often allow ourselves the un- fortunate privilege of forgetting that our great nation and all of those blessings that accompany it have been established by persons with such great and profound devotion as we find here in our own midst. | Mrs. Lassiter calls Murry, Kentucky her real home , though she has learned to love N.C. very much. She com- | pleted her undergraduate studies at Murry State University where she earned a B.S. degree in Business Education and her graduate studies at East Carolina University where she earned her master's degree in secondary Education. Mrs. Lassiter had ten years of experience in teaching prior to her coming to North Carolina. She taught at Bailey High School as the business department for twenty-seven years. Then, when our school was opened she came here with us as the chairman of our Business Pro- gram. Having a professional attitude is a part of Mrs. Lassiter's philosophy. She is faithful to the professional organizations on the local, state, and national levels. She is also a member of the North Carolina Business Education Association and Delta Kappa Gama. Being active in organizations helps one to keep abreast of the new trends in education, ' she says. Needless to say Mrs. Lassiter is quite happy in her work. Being able to place Business graduates in a good job gives me a great deal of satisfaction, '' she says. Mrs, Lassiter admits she feels that she has grown in a professional way while working with such a large and varied faculty and student body as we have here at Southern. She feels that our school -- the comprehensive con- solidated high school -- has many ad- vantages to offer students today. 'South- ern Nash Senior High is truly a school of the future. We should all feel proud to be a part of this progressive educa- tional facility. Because of her enthusiasm and untiring service, we the students of Southern Nash Senior High School wish to de- dicate this volume of UNITAT to Mrs. Laurine T.

Brenda Strickland Herbert Pulley Guidance Counselor Guidance Counselor ulley So ecial Education 4 4 156 GUIDANCE Mrs. Strickland and Mr. Pulley are undoubtedly two of the most patient people in the world. They put up with people who rant and rave about being sent to the office. Then they tolerate those who go to the guidance office because they don't have any- thing else to do. They are patient because they care. They're good listeners, if you have any romantic problems, any home problems, any school problems, any problems at all, they listen. Problems are their business. They're not just concerned with schedules, they're concerned with you. If more students would take advantage of the guidance office then they wouldn't think that this school was so bad. Our guidance office isn't the best thing in the world for your problems, but it's pretty close. gotta problem on ya mind ? Many interesting and pertinent facts were revealed to Brenda Parker during an interview with Dr. Swain. The Annual can not possibly cover the variety of subjects discussed, however we share these comments. Dr. Swain in retrospect said, food was different , no convenience of canned and frozen food. A school bus was a thing of the future. He walked a mile to school everyday. Having grown up on a farm may account for many things in his life. Maybe this attributed to his being a cow milking champ. He noted that as a principal he would walk around school practicing the milk- ing method just to keep in shape. No wonder he acquired the nickname Muscles . He didn't own a car as many young boys of today. Three couple would date in one car, sharing expenses. Perhaps this is one reason why promiscuity was not as prevalent as it is today. His ambition to be a sailor influenced him to join the United States Navy. For twenty years he has been in the inactive service in the Navy, during which time he was subject to call in the Korean conflict and the early part of the Vietnam War. Other vocations include, service station attendant, motel manager and camp director. At age twenty-seven he qualified as a principal. Since that time he has had a full life not only in quanity but quality. Three years at Southern Nash have labeled Dr. Swain as all together . He believes in equality for all. Aurora High School in Beaufort County awarded Dr. Swain his diploma. His college degrees in- clude a B.S. in Business Administration (1949), his M.A. at Duke University (1968).

I had heard comments from people who claimed to be authorities on the subject of Southern Nash. I had made some new friends during the sum- mer, but they kept their feclings within their chests. Now 1 would like to comment and tell you what I ‘found when I entered the school as a student. My ‘first day was a bit like being a Freshman all over gain. Fortunately, the students were kind enough o lead this lost sheep to his classes. found the teachers here to be more superior in bility,’ attitude, and general concern for students, than the teachers I had my previous two years of schooling. And for this 1 am thankful. I only hope that I have been as fulfilling to their school year as ns they have been to mine. a But above all, the students of this school have made - my first year such an enjoyable experience. The “people are so ‘simple and down to earth that you can't help but love them. No one seems to have _ anything to hidc, and these are my kind of people. I believe that students make a sc hool what it is, and if all the students were like the ones I have met, we would be without an equal in the field of human quality. My only regrets concerning Southern Nash Mike Mozingo | Says A Former Knight, Firebirds Beat The “Daylights” Outa The “Knights!” Pep... The Pep Club has been a great booster of school spirit. With Mr, Cone and Miss Cady as sponsors, cach year has become a more prided one. Mrs. Arrington was formerly a sponsor, but we lost her due to circumstances out of our hands. Among some of the notable things that the Pep Club has accomplished are as follows: They chartered buses for football and basketball games, made beat ribbons previous to our games, designed the spirit stick, assisted with Homecoming activities as well as festivities, made posters and banners to induce spirit, made parkers available to students that could be purchased in school colors along with the emblem, sponsored Change and Firebird emblem contest, designated a section for the Pep. Club members to sit in at ballgames, decorated goal posts prior to each of our games, pro- vided transportation for cheerlead- ers to games, and last but most certainly not least, they provided continuous school spirit and staunch support to the Firebird players at all times! Everybody knows that sports help shape the school and give ita name. The results may be bad, or they may be good. We have had a lot of complaints concern- ing our Firebird teams, but they have continued to fight, and each year at Southern is a better year than the last. It is very difficult for the “guys to play knowing the odds against them, but as far as the student body is concerned, the team is more outstanding because of this. Below are confessed fans. Our . Fans The Student Body of 1970-71 have made - great steps in laying the foundation for years to come. They have helped — fill the communication gap between the admin- — istration and themselves. They have begun to measure their criticisms a little more thought- fully, which led them into a greater understand - ing and appreciation of both viewpoints, and the general underlying problems that face a new school, They have learned to live with their brothers, whether they be black or white, and regard them as equals. This in itself was a great stride for- ward. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET There will be revolutions We can touch one day Instead of only those That timidly HOMIE gO AA! Rod McKuen oc i . } ml i AULA —_ S alateiaall S cgennenedl mand nad a g Southern is a puzzle with some of the pieces missing but the many found pieces are beginning to fall-into place. One piece missing this year is the one that represents the Freshmen. This missing piece is the one that gives us the prestige and privilege of being titled SENIOR HIGH. Unfortunately, the Sophomores have to take the punishment two years of being the underdog bearing such titles as 'Sophomore babies. It's realy not quite right, but things will begin to fit next year when Southern aquires new 'Super Green Sophomores. ' That is not all that is missing; we could always use more school spirit, more unity, more faith, but there will continue to be a need for that. Being called a red neck Southerner ! by Rocky M Mount doesn't quite fit. How many riots have you seen’at Southern? Take a look at the many blacks you see mingled with whites and vice-versa. Rocky Mount could not say that, but in all their stupidity, they are proud of it. Sociology and psychology will tell you that the more intelligent a person is, the more he searches other places and people in order to learn what they really are, what they consist of and what differences and similarities they posses that contrast and com- pare to our own characteristics. Southern didn't just make it up; psychologists proved it through ob- servations. Southern only acted it out, not because it was the thing to do, but because it just came naturally. Oh well, we can't help it if we are ad- vanced. EAT YOUR HEART OUT R.M.S.H.!!!!
