Southern Wayne High School - Valhalla Yearbook (Dudley, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1966 volume:

D r - ' fl. G rU. In the beginning . . . Foreword In the beginning, Southern Wayne High School was only a dream of the people who constantly strive to keep their school system among the best in the state. But architects, with their triangles, T-squares, and slide rules, meticulously translated the dream into drawings and blue- prints; and an insignificant peach orchard became a center of busy men and machines as contractors transformed the plans into a magnificent structure of steel and glass and brick. Yet, as the structure neared completion, during the summer of 1965, it was still only a building. The dream was not complete. Inside were classrooms waiting to be filled, a faculty lounge with- out a faculty, a gymnasium awaiting the first assembly or pep rally, an office yet to become the nerve center of an educational community. Then, school opened and the first eager students arrived. The halls began to fill; the library became a research center; and the office be- came a bustling headquarters correlating all school activities. Yet, even with a student body, a faculty, and an office staff, the building still had not become, completely, a school. After the first few days of confusion had slipped away, the familiar routine of classroom instruction began to forge a bond of mutual respect and confidence between the teachers and students. A spark of school spirit, ignited by the initial success of the football team, was fanned into a vigorous flame; and, with the welding of the faculty and student body into a united team, the transformation was complete. The building had become a school; the dream, a reality. On the leaves of this book, the staff has endeavored to record those events and people who were predominant during this school year. It is hoped that this book will reflect the evolution of Southern Wayne High from a vision to an actuality, and will preserve some of the glories of Southern Wayne students so that their achievements during this first year may once again be lived in the memories of tomorrow. . . . a lounge school opened and the first eager students arrived . . . the library became a research center . . .

Table of Contents Foreword Dedication Appreciation School Boards Administration Departments Classes Activities Athletics Autographs The Staff Says “ Thanks ” to Dr. and Mrs. Milton M. Lownes, Jr. Every organization needs a central force which offers support; provides a unifying element and, in short, contributes to the group without thought of recogni- tion. Dr. and Mrs. Milton M. Lownes, Jr. provided just these elements for the Val- halla Staff this year. They worked diligently day and night, volunteering when jobs needed doing and giving of their time and effort in hours of need. Our yearbook suc- cess is due, in part, to the devotion and work of these two unselfish persons. Without their unifying efforts, many of the chapters in the 1966 Valhalla could not have been written. To you who worked willingly whenever we called, we humbly express our gratitude by presenting this page in your honor. County Board of Education In spite of many hardships and handicaps during the past year, the Wayne County Board of Education has done its utmost to promote the best education pos- sible for the students of Wayne County. The board is composed of Elton Aycock, Sr., Mrs. C. B. Strickland, Worth Aycock, and Mosley Davis. Wayne County Superintendent Dr. Gerald D. James, facing a multitude of pro- lems in his first year as Wayne County Superintendent, acted with deliberation and assurance in performing his varied tasks. Dr. Gerald D. James Local Committee From different sections of the Southern Wayne community came our school ' s Advisory Committee. These five men in their decisions greatly influenced the lives of all of Southern Wayne ' s students. Composing this all-important board Clay Brown Dale (Chairman), Dr. R. H. Shackelford, J. C. Stephenson, W. A. Jinnette, and Leslie Casey. Mr. Charles H. Yelverton Principal We, the students of Southern Wayne High School, were very fortunate to have had Mr. Charles H. Yelverton as principal this our first year. A native of Smithfield, North Carolina, he attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Having received his A. B. degree in physical education and his master ' s degree in education and administration; he is presently working for his Advanced Principal ' s Certificate. Mr. Yelverton has been associated with the problem of consolidation at Orange High School in Hillsboro where he served as principal for two years. Therefore, he understands the chal- lenging situations that must be faced and solved. His perseverance and leadership have won him the respect and admiration of the students, faculty, and the citizens of the community. H Mr. Mark Herring Southern Wayne owes much of its development to Mr. Mark Her- ring, the former assistant principal of our school. Early in the spring, Mr. Herring resigned his office to accept a position as Assistant Di- rector of the Elementary and Sec- ondary School Act program for this area. In his new job he administers a program of financial aid to schools with a large number of poverty stu- dents. After receiving his A. B. degree from the University of North Caro- lina, and his M. A. degree from East Carolina College; he completed ad- vanced study at Duke University. He formerly taught at Seven Springs High School and held the position of Principal of the school. As expressed in the Sword and Shield, We know we speak for Southern Wayne High School when we wish Mr. Herring the best of luck in his new position, and express ap- preciation for all that he has done for our school.” Assistant Principals Mr. Jimmy Williams Mr. Jimmy Williams, Athletic Di- rector of Southern Wayne, relinquished his position in the Social Studies Depart- ment to fill the office of Assistant Prin- cipal formerly held by Mr. Mark Her- ring. Though holding the responsibilities of two important positions, Coach Wil- liams was able to do a commendable job in each. As we see Mr. Williams in the position of coach, teacher, and assistant principal, we see a man well capable of completing the tasks that were placed before him. Our thanks and admiration are extended to you, Mr. Williams. Office Staff Mrs. Imogene Jones BOOKKEEPER Typing, filing, answering phone calls, keeping the funds of various clubs and organizations, were among the duties of Mrs. Imogene Jones, the school ' s bookkeeper. Mrs. Jones kept accounts of all business transactions carried on by the school. She was always interested in all facets of school life. Mrs. Barbara Yelverton SECRETARY Efficiently performing the duties necessary for the smooth functioning of our school, Mrs. Barbara Yelverton helped carry Southern Wayne through its first year. Always ready with a smile, she answered the phone, kept records, and helped us with our problems. Mrs. Yelverton assisted in clearing up much of the confusion of our first year. Assistants During their study halls, the office assistants collected absentee slips and helped compile absentee lists. They performed many necessary errands and in doing so, proved themselves invalu- able aids to the school. The assistants are Frances Mc- Kinzey, Sue McKenzie, Diana Lee, Judy Harrell, Violet Barbour, Judi Tarlton, BrendaCox, Jerry Lane, Susan Williams, Edna Sutton, and Betty Willard. Annette Rose was not present at the time the picture was made. Red Cross Volunteers One of the groups most vital to the health and welfare of our students is the twenty-nine Red Cross Volunteers, com- posed of women from all areas of the school community. This group was directed by Mrs. Bernie Lownes, the unit chairman, and Mrs. Pauline Jinnette, the assistant unit chairman. These volunteers, who received their first-aid training in school and Red Cross orientations, stand ready to serve in case of an injury or illness to any student. Nurse, mother, psychiatrist, confident, and senior cap and gown fitters were but a few of the jobs of the first-aid volunteers. FIRST ROW: Annie Ruth Britt, Helen Byrd, Merle Effler, Dot Faulk, Lee Grady, Eloise Helms, Doris Herring, Lou Holliday, Delores Hood, Unit Chairman Bernie Lownes. SECOND ROW: Pauline Jinnette, Catherine Lane, Jean Lynch, Katie Wade Lynch, Jean McGee, Lois Merritt, Iva Lois Price, Louise Sanderson, Evelyn Shackelford. THIRD ROW: Lyda Smith, Ola Mae Tarlton, Hazel Van Roekel, Ina Warrick, Mamie Ruth Wells, Ruby Whitfield, Jean Worrell. Alma Morris, Kitty Over- man, and Betty Wilkins are not shown. Bus Drivers Driving with skill and prudence, our bus drivers conveyed the students to and from school each day. These students undertook the risks and responsibilities involved in a demanding and rigorous job. Displaying an amazing safety record, the bus drivers delivered the students ably and promptly. School Announcer With unselfishness and perse- verance Rowland Vernon gave his time to make the daily announce- ments. Failing to work only during periods of sickness, he did his job with clarity and conscientiousness that cannot be surpassed. ESEA Aids The ESEA assistants worked, coached, guided, and helped the students and teachers in various aspects of school activities. Mrs. Sophia Wall, a reading specialist, assisted in the English Department; Mrs. Annette Taylor provided as- sistance in the Library, while Mrs. Marie Her- ring offered her services to the teachers in is general. Lunchroom The ladies in our lunchroom worked ef- ficiently and had a smile for everyone who passed through the lunch line. They were quick and courteous, and did their best to serve whole- some and delicious meals. Mrs. Fannie Rose, Manager, reviews last minute details with Mrs. Maude Outlaw, Cashier, before the first students arrive for lunch. Three lunch shifts afford every student an opportunity to enjoy the wholesome, well-balanced meals offered in the school cafeteria. FIRST ROW: Fannie Rose, Mildred Smith, Louise Weeks, Grace Moye, Blanche Barfield. SECOND ROW: Ruth Radford, Janet Williamson, Verdie Cox, Sudie Taylor, Stella Porter, Maude Outlaw. Custodians The institution had about it the smell of paint and glossy furniture. The school area was almost three times the size of most local buildings and the care was delegated to five energetic workers. These people have since before the start of school seen to it that every- thing operated smoothly. Grounds and class- rooms have been well-kept and the orderly pro- cess of running the school maintained. SEATED: Katherine Ward, Ruth Ezzell, Mildred Ezzell. STANDING: David Armstrong, Robert Ezzell. Visitors are impressed by the cleanliness of our school. Keeping the grass cut is only one of the many chores completed by the custodians. Departments MRS. DORIS GURLEY E.C.C. M.A. A.B.

C. B. PRICE, JR. AND MRS. EVADEANE JONES Great Challenge The Student Council acted as a productive, energetic body that helped make the consolidation of four separate schools into one effective, organ- ized unit. With Mr. Yelverton ' s challenge, . . . to have the best school in North Carolina, the Council began work on such diversified activities as finances, magazine campaign, junior-senior, yearbook, newspaper, clubs, commencement ex- ercises, parties, and a point system. The Student Council was, in short, the nucleus of the school. Class Officers Committee Chairmen Homeroom Representatives Hiiiiiiiiiiiij Future Teachers of America One of the established goals of the Future Teachers of America this year was to interest students in the field of teaching. To accomplish this goal each member of the club taught a class of his choice for one class period. With the help of Mrs. Hollingsworth, advisor, this club instilled within its members an understanding of the responsibilities of teaching. Officers Mrs. Hollingsworth explains code of ethics to Gail Jones, Vice Presi- dent; Sandra Britt, Historian; Marsha Simmons, Secretary; Jewel Adams, President; Linda King, Treasurer; and Jimmy Vernon, Parliamentarian. Pam Phillips gains valuable experience in teaching English I under the direction of Miss Oates. 98 National Honor Society One of the highest honors that a stu- dent can have bestowed upon him at Southern Wayne is to be selected as a member of the National Honor Society. Juniors and Seniors who have outstand- ing scholastic records, leadership, ser- vice, and character are eligible for membership in the Society. The National Honor Society is an active club, although its main purpose is to honor the most deserving of the out- standing students. President . . . Vice President Secretary . . . Treasurer . . .

The Staff, chosen by a committee of teachers and the staff advisor, Miss Eva Nan Summerlin, consisted of twelve members from the different classes. During the year the Staff met many difficult odds but with the aid of arbitration and discussions, they were able to settle their differ- ences. From the first Monday afternoon meeting to the final weeks of work after school was over, the Staff worked many long and hard hours, sometimes far into the night. From the first Yearbook Staff, we extend our personal thanks to our advisor, Miss Summerlin, for without her, this yearbook would not have been completed. Margaret Ann Knowles Editor Miss Eva Nan Summerlin Advisor Carolyn McDonald Business Manager Found in the Staff Library for about three weeks after school, day and night, mixed among soft drinks, brownies, hard work, and fuming tempers, were some Valhalla staffers and even a few stray volunteers toiling added hours to complete the first Yearbook. 101 Valhalla Activities The Valhalla Staff sponsored a Powder-Puff Football Game between the Freshman-Senior and Sophomore-Junior Girls as a fund-raising project. The April Fools ' Game, a basketball clash between the parents and teachers, also brought financial reward. The Valhalla depended directly on these projects to raise money to finance the yearbook since advertising was not permitted. The success of these two projects was the result of the combined efforts of the school and community. Time out for plumber repair? Phyllis Britt (W-12) led the Sophomore- Junior girls to a 13-0 victory. Despite the efforts of the Playboys,” the Tuffs were victorious. Think we ' ll make all-conference? Shouldn ' t we check on our classes ? Even with the tremendous support of their cheerleaders, the Bunnies were not able to overcome the Puffs. Glee Club Officers Jay Wilkins President Pam Wilson Vice President Jean Royal Secretary- Treasurer Jimmy Thompson Property Manager Jack Stanley Librarian The Glee Club provided entertainment for several school occasions. Many of Southern Wayne ' s best voices were members of this group and their singing often brought a welcome break from the usual routine of school life. The group was under the direction of Mrs. Audrey Wasner. Health Careers Officers The rapid advances in medical sci- ence and technology to the aroused public interest in attaining and maintaining high quality of health services have com- pounded the problems created by health manpower shortages. The Health Careers Club, under the guidance of Mr. Yancey Aycock, Jr., was formed to study and to help prevent these problems through entry into health ca- reers. Dr. Robert Shackelford spoke at one of the club meetings on the possi- bilities of careers in medicine. Gary English, Corresponding Secretary; Barbara Winstead, Secretary-Treasurer; Linda Coates, President; and Hughie Oates, Vice President, pause to chat about the club ' s activities during a busy day. D.E. Club Officers Jerry Smith, President; Diane Strickland, Assistant President; Jimmy Whitfield, Vice President; Jane Grady, Secretary; Linda Grady, Treasurer; Ron- nie Jordan, Parliamentarian; and Peggy Jennette, Historian are shown at the in- stallation ceremony with Mr. C.

Eva Jean Hill was elected secretary of District 10. Homecoming Queen Sandra Britt Margaret Ann Knowles Pam Wilson Marsha Simmons Rhonda Whitley Susie Turner Art Club The study of art at Southern Wayne in- cludes not only drawing but art apprecia- tion and art history. The Art Club, spon- sored by Mrs. Jan Aycock, consists not only of art students but also of those who wish to broaden their artistic horizons. The Southern Wayne artists participated in the Dental Health Poster Contest in the early part of the winter. Two well-known speakers were Mr. Cullen Hatch and Mr. Zeno Spence. One of the highlights of the year was the come as your favorite artist party at Sleepy Creek Lodge. Officers Cindy Smith, President; Howard Green, Vice President; Danny Galyon, Secretary; and Pam Wilson, Treasurer listen to Mr. Zeno Spence explain art in general. The art exhibits on display during open house were of interest to everyone. French Club This first year at Southern Wayne has brought about the orien- tation of many clubs. The French Club was one of the more interest- ing of these organizations. To stimulate interest in the culture and language of France and to supple- ment the French course are the purposes of the club. Under the leadership of four capable officers and competent sponsorship of Miss Kathleen Dail this club has more than fulfilled its purposes. Mr. Perrett, head of the French department at Mount Olive Junior College, showed examples of the culture and impressionistic art of France. For entertainment, the members presented skits and had a party before the Christmas holi- days. Officers President Lonnie Davis, Vice President Walter Patten, Secre- tary Carolyn McDonald, and Treasurer Brenda Rowe were assets in making the club a big success this first year. Southern Wayne Officers The band took an active part in school activities. Playing at important school functions, the organization provided entertainment throughout the year for the student body.

The pur- pose of the club is to create a better relationship among athletes. Officers Coach Jimmy Adams, Advisor, discusses with Ricky Kraft, President; Clark Dail, Vice President; and Jo Carol Grady, Secre- tary-Treasurer, the steak party to be held at the home of Dr. Mrs. Milton M. Lownes. Monogram Club Library Club The Library Club, composed of library assistants, proposes to increase a pupil ' s interest in participation in the school library work. The main project of the Library Club was compiling a scrapbook. Brenda Price headed the scrapbook committee and did an excellent job on the book.

Officers Billy Ray Hall, President; Larry Joe Blanton, Vice President; Alice Warrick, Secretary; Tony Winstead, Treasurer; and Mr. Elton Aycock, Jr., Advisor, provided the leadership in organizing the first Math Club. Math Club Science Club To achieve its initial purpose, the Science Club hopes to extend to its mem- bers an understanding of all sciences be- yond the limits of classroom work while providing them with a stimulating and con- structive outlet for their individual am- bitions and achievements. To acquaint its members with more advanced sciences the club presented Walter Patten, who spoke on astronomy. The second purpose of the club was sponsorship of the Science Fair in February. It consisted of over one hundred projects displayed by members of the club. The fair was open to anyone who wished to enter a project. Some of the Science Fair winners went to East Carolina College where they presented their projects in the District Science Fair.
