Since then there have been three major additions to the school. The first addition, in 1957, was the Agriculture Department which accomodates the needs of boys who are interested in farming. Six new classrooms added to the twenty-one original ones were built in 1958. Then in January 1960, workmen began erecting another new wing to our school. This time Southwest had gained a music department complete with an amphi- theatre, an addition to the cafeteria, and a spectacular auditorium seating 1,171 people. Southwest High School, sprawling over 45 acres of well-kept grounds, has been the scene of many pleasures; the scene of many incidents we would rather forget. But amid these mixed emotions, there has grown a warm feeling of pride for our school--SOUTHWEST.

The staff has worked hard to bring to you through words and pictures many moments which you will treasure in years to come. Our school life has been full of setting goals, winning victories, and sometimes facing defeat. Each of these aspects is important, and between the backs of this book we have tried to capture moments of each. In years to come when we are facing full responsibility, we will look back on days of dressing for gym, dissecting frogs, planning for the Junior-Senior, and wearing caps and gowns with fond remembrances. We, too, will remember the teachers who gave their time to our service and the friends we vowed to never forget. We hope that each page of the ILIAD will serve as a small reminder of the many wonderful experiences we shared at Southwest High School.

She has been an inspiring teacher, a wise counselor for those who sought advice, and a good friend to all. She never overlooked the opportunity to help a student, and often her own personal interests were put aside as she sought to help a student conquer an inner battle. She constantly strived to better herseif by facing challenges with the determination to succeed. The deep respect we have for her as a teacher and individual came through her willingness to joke with students, her desire for increasing knowledge, and her strong Christian faith. Forher kindness, under- standing, and interest in us, the Senior Class, we proudly dedicate the 1961 ILIAD to MRS, ELIZABETH GREENE, Mrs. Greene's warm smile was a symbol of genuine interest in everything she did. It was her goal to kindle a spark of interest in Home Eco- nomics within many of the girls she taught. Both boys and girls flocked to Mrs. Greene for help, advice, or just the pleasure of being around her. In Memoriam WILMA SUE ADAMS There's an open gate at the end of the road through which each must go alone, And there in a light we cannot see our Father claims His own; Beyond the gate our loved one finds happ iness and rest, And there is comfort in the thought that a loving God knows best. Wilma's smile and pleasant attitude is missed by those who knew and worked with her at Southwest. ©6o Our Mebents-. . As Seniors, facing a world in which we are no longer children, we would like to show our appreci- ation to you, our parents, for helping us reach this goal.

Once we were in the building, our frowns melted into smiles as we heard the cheery morning greetings from our friends. Quite often early morning gossip detracted our attention, and moments later we were surprised to find that we stood facing an open locker door with piles of books still in our arms. Crowds gathered, news flew, the tardy bell rang, and we found it hard to tear away from this social, carefree atmosphere. If we take one day from the school life at Southwest and analize each part, we find that rewards, opportunities, and challenges flow freely from her doors. As students we faced each day at Southwest with the hope of accomplishment. Sometimes we frowned upon the same daily routine, but in years to come we will look back with fond re- membrances to the days when youth was at its height and our lives were filled with carefree responsibility. We will wish for the happiness which came from within the walls of Southwest. We sometimes found it hard to smile a s we entered these doors because school life seemed to be such a toilsome burden. But then as we thought a second time, we dawned on the realization that school life offers many opportunities to enrich our minds and bodies. Classes filled the majority of our day. It was hard to realize that these few hours could possibly build a successful future. However, we strived to fulfill an inner goal as we conjugated verbs, dissected frogs, and learned toappreciate 'Macbeth.'' Com- plaints of too much homework passed from class to class, but hidden under these com- plaints was a desire to please--not only ourselves, but our parents and teachers. Although sometimes forgotten, our aim was to first seek and then find knowledge both of subject matter and of life in a world which cries for better citizens. Lunch period came as the most welcomed part of the day. Students could relax from the strain of their morning studying and enjoy informal socializing with friends. Since the length of our lunch period had been cut in half, we barely found time to eat that last bite of pie. During these minutes of rush, we learned much about budgeting our time to fill ourneeds. Groans often accompanied the bell that told us lunch was over, and we skurried down the halls to win the race with the tardy bell. Fellowship and unity between teachers and students was another of the important facets of daily life at Southwest. Our teachers were never too busy to lend a helping hand when students reached barriers they could not conquer alone. Although they found enjoyment in passing joking remarks at teachers, the students never let the respect for their elders waver. Because of this close association between students and teachers, Trojans felt that they had approached a goal in human relationship. The new craze at Sout hwest seemed to be the need for luncheon meetings. Since we nolonger had an activity period, various organizations decided that lunch- time was the only period throughout the day when members could meet and carry on business. These meetings always prospered, but many presidents became exasperated asthey tried to talk above the crunch of a cookie or a muffled hiccough which accompanied hurried eating. @ucatgeasti alana Southwest students also found time to let their hair down when various organi - zations sponsored dances after ballgames. Not only did they furnish entertainment to a busy school routine, but these dances also helped students get along better among themselves. Students realized that not only were they to come to school for scholastic pur- poses but were:also to build a well-rounded life through extra-curricular activities. Participation, as players or boosters of school spirit in athleticlactivitives: strengthened the framework of each indi- vidual. Many times a cheering crowd, which backed Trojan players as they climbed to victory or faced defeat, marked the success of another chapter in the open book of life. There was also a need for special recog- nition of students who brought glamour and poise to Southwest. Queens were crowned, and dances were held in their honor. Semi- formal dances especially came as a relief to the normal run of Southwest. Party dresses and suits seemed to completely change the students who wore them, and from beneath frowns of disturbance with school life, gaysmiles spread over the faces of boys and girls who were at last learning that etiquette is essential in life no matter where individual courses may lie. Of memoties grows. Many times books were lain aside, and Trojans participated in featured activities. Dancing to the music of a Wake Forest combo created tingles of excitement in the girls. However, many of the boys wished that the combo would not play quite so well, so they could once again become the center of interest. These dances which lasted only a few hours will be cherished as memories in future years when Southwest students reminisce over the joys they once took so lightly. As our day at Southwest draws toa close, students leave the walls which hold their future with varied emotions. Some are glad that it iscomplete, and leave with no intention of coming back. How- ever, those of us who are left, leave each day with a feeling of satisfaction but look forward to tomorrow when we will have the chance of improving yesterday's accom- plishments. Yes, from these moments during a school day our treasury of memories grows. Wiilthese memories be good or bad? This depends on YOU--the builder. As we can see, daily life at Southwest was filled to the brim. However, amid our varied activities we always found time to search for knowledge. This search often became a task that we would have liked to throw aside. But each of us had set a goal, and nothing short of this goal would satisfy our desire to reach the top. Le Principal’s Message We wish to congratulate the members of the Class of 1961 for their accomplishments during their four years at Southwest, and to say thanks to you individually and collectively for your many efforts to make this a better school in which to live, learn, and grow. We will follow your progress in the future with interest and trust that you will continue to build a better life. H.E. Simpson, Principal 14 © ES oo OS 1CS Dramat ?

There was no time for neglecting duty because many decisions had to be made. At lIast the class realized that responsibility was theirs, and each individual strived to make their Senior year a success. The year was highlighted by the traditional Christmas play, the Senior play, the Junior-Senior Prom, and Class Day. College prep, commercial, and general students worked hard on their separate subjects, but they were bonded together by the name senior. They, too, looked forward to the same important milestone graduation, a day which holds pleasant memories of the past but promises for a brighter future. 22 MI CHAEL WILLIAM BEAUCHAMP General Course Key Club 2,3; Student Council 4; Class President 4; Intramural Basketball 1,2,3; Building and Grounds Com- mittee 3,4; Junior Marshal 3; History Club 3; Superlative 4; Student of the Month 4.

During class meetings, which were held bi-monthly in the school auditorium, important decisions were made which led to the success of Graduation. Although these meetings were often taken lightly, each Senior realized that he played a major role in fulfilling a dream that had been instilled within the class on the first day as freshmen at Southwest. 42 Jrom memories of the DEG 3 2 In the fall of 1958 the class of '61 became acquainted with Southwest High School. It was the beginning of a new and different school-life for us, but it was not too long until we all became a part of it. An important occasion during our Freshman year was the dedication of the athletic field in memory of George T. Moody. One of the highlights of the year was the Christmas Dance. This was important to us because Julia Messick, a representative of our class, was crowned as Christmas Queen. Although there were many happy occasions, our hearts were made sorrowful when Jim McMillan, one of our classmates, was taken from us. We all missed Jim and his glowing personality. In 1959 we were Sophomores! We were still underclassmen, but we were acquainted with the fact that we were high school students now. We had met many new friends and were beginning to enjoy a few of the extra-curricular activities offered to us. There were no outstanding honors bestowed upon our classmates, but we can say that we were more accustomed to high school. In our Junior year we were becoming a little more important. Georgia Marshall represented our class well as Vice - President of the Student Body. Officers of our Junior Class who did a very outstanding job were Jim Mechum, President; Judy Hardin, Secretary; Linda Nichols, Treasurer; and Lynn Harper, Carol Jean Hale, Byron Seagraves, Mimi Jones, and Sandra Ayers, Vice-Presidents. These students worked extremely hard as our Class planned and prepared the Junior- Senior Prom at the Robert E. Lee Hotel under the direction of Miss Snow, Miss Lennon, Mrs. Butner, Mrs. Shorter, and Mr. Robinson, our Junior Class sponsors. Twelve of our Junior classmates were chosen by the seniors to act as marshals for the graduation exercises. Those students who were chosen were Judy Hardin and Lindsay Watkins, Co-Chiefs; Mike Beauchamp, Vicky Brown, Clay Furches, Georgia Marshall, Jim Mechum, Julia Messick, Eddie Powell, Byron Seagraves, Ann Steelman,and Marianne Wiggs. Judy Hardin's citizenship and character were certainly revealed as she was presented the D.A.R. Award. Jackie Boyer, an outstanding wrestler, received a trophy for state championship. Jackie represented our class well in that way. Among the good things there are always some heartbreaking occasions. Wilma Adams was taken from us during our Junior year. We missed her sweet attitude and her friendly smile. 1961 finally rolled around. We were Seniors at last! Officers of our Senior class who began working on ideas for the class were President, Mike Beauchamp; Secretary, Sandra Ayers; Treasurer, Barbara Parker; Vice-Presidents, Darlene Hickman, Ann Steelman, Donald Cecil, Tommy Edwards, Byron Seagraves, and Lindsay Watkins. Two of our senior class projects were the presentation of the traditional Christmas program and the Senior class play under the direction of Miss Swaringen. Other Senior sponsors who assisted our class in every way possible were Miss Cook, Miss Farthing, Mrs. Bonnie Green, Miss Lennon, and Mr. Triplett. Barbara Parker, Marianne Wiggs, and Jo Cooksey represented our class well during our Senior year. Barbara was elected Homecoming Queen, Marianne elected as Christmas Queen, and Jo was chosen as Valentine Sweetheart. Judy Hardin was chief cheerleader and Carol Renegar was chief majorette during their Junior and Senior years. They both did an outstanding job. Those students who represented our class as student body officers were Julia Messick, President; Vicky Brown, Secretary; and Linda Nichols, Treasurer. Also Jackie Casey did a tremendous job as editor of the ILIAD, and Bill Nifong was a very successful editor of the 'Odyssey.'' These were many of the thrilling and exciting events occuring during our Senior year. Our goal was almost completed. Class Day Officers who were elected by the Senior class were Linda Nichols, Don Bowman, Testators; Judy Hardin, Byron Seagraves, Prophets; Julia Messick, Lindsay Watkins,Historians. Glenda Locklear and Bill Jarvis were elected to write the Class Poem, and Linda Henning and Andy Buchanan wrote the Class Song. A red and white carnation was chosen as the class flower, and the colors chosen were crimson and ivory. Although our high school years were coming to an end and memories of the past beganto fade, many exciting events took place. These consisted of Kids' Day, the Senior Class picnic, Baccalaureate Sermon, and last, but definitely not least, our Graduation. We were all going into different phases of life in many different places, but we all had the same goal, to be a success in life. JULIA MESSICK LINDSAY WATKINS Historians 43 We leave...

LINDA NICHOLS DON BOWMAN Testators Witnesses: Yogi Bear Boo Boo 45 Ghoughts of the future. The year is 1971. Just for the sake of curiosity let's check on the progress of our classmates from the graduating elassiof 7601 Sheriff BUTCH HOGUE and his deputy, EDDIE CARTER, are having a rough time trying to keep peace. It seems that stingy old NANCY WILLIAMS is still refusing to let KARL STIMPSON and WAYNE FLYNN cut the pulpwood on her land. Those guys are going to get shot yet! BILL NIFONG, publisher of the Democrat newspaper for Reformation has kept three of his reporters, MIMI JONES, LYNN HARPER, and BILLIE JO JARVIS so nervous and upset that they are seeking jobs as cigarette girls in the night club owned by THOMAS REAVIS and JARVIS HUTCHENS. The club has a booming business, despite the protest of Reverend CARL MYERS. The dancing Rockettes SUE ELMORE, LOUISE BOLT, MARGARET COX, and ZANA MENDENHALL along with the no less famous Trojans CHARLES ANGLIN, VICKY CONRAD, ANDY BUCHANAN, LINDA NICHOLS, and LINDA HENNING perform nightly. DARLENE CONSTABLE and BONNIE CONRAD, who have just made a great come-back with the old record, Sisters,'' are trying to gain a booking at the club, but the boys say that they can't take care of the extra customers they would bring in. The Class of 1961 had quite a few people who later on became very prominent in the field of education. Among those are BILL HARRELL, who was greatly inspired by his step-sister, and is now doing a bang-up job in teaching English. KATHY REYNOLDS has just completed a new dictionary for the English classes. The teachers believe that her ''30 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary will be a big success. Due to all this confusion, CATHY ESSEX is still trying to read Gone With the Wind. One of the most interesting classes is taught by JUDY TEAGUE. CAROL CUMBO and CAROLYN TESH, two of her faithful students, are trying to learn from her the art of ''catching a man. In the agriculture department, we find CLEO BECKNER and C.W. COX. They are very proud of their prize-winning, perfectly formed squash. YVONNE GRANT knows that squashes aren't the only things that grow, because she owns a cotton plantation in Alaska. We find TOMMY SMITH busy teaching smiling classes. JUDY BOLES and BECKY DRANE are trying hard to learn themsecret. The school is definitely not lacking in athletics. DONALD CECILE is working very hard with his weight lifting class and FRANK HARRELSON is helping out by teaching ballet lessons. This enables the boys to be more graceful with their lifting. TOMMY and JO EDWARDS are furnishing the school with lots of little Trojan basketball players. The cheerleaders GAIL BULLIN, MARIANNE WIGGS, SANDRA AYERS, and LINDA HARPER are wondering if the reason for the great success of these Edwards players is because they have been eating their Wheaties. BILL SEALY and WAYNE HARRIS have a steady job waxing school buses for the county. The Globe Trotters, JOYCE SPAINHOUR, ANN MILLER, NANCY PHELPS, and JOANN HUDSON, have been wanting to play the girls basketball teams, but they have been unable to get enough to sign up due to their old age. The food business seems to be booming. LINDA BERRIER is running a most successful bakery and ETHEL GRIFFITH has her own dairy bar. ERNESTINE BREWER and DOROTHY NOELL are working hard trying to please some of the customers. BRENDA COLLINS and LINDA NORMAN can't seem to realize that it isn't the sundies that make them so fat but rather the lack of exercise. LINDA DORSETT, BARBARA LEVENS, and BETTY GARRETSON now own their own dime store. BENNY SHEETS and PERRY CRAFT have recently opened a centrally -located supermarket between Clemmons and Lewisville. Their Y and Z Purple Stamps seem to be a great drawing card. GLENN RENEGAR, PHILLIP CRATER, and DOUG JONES are now working at Kroger's instead of Food Fair. There was a big scandal over who pushed who in that egg basket. WANDA BODFORD, BRENDA BODFORD, and LINDA BODSFORD all are working as models. They model short sleeve shirts designed by MIKE QUINN. DAVID SMITH and THAD REAVIS are making good since they bought out Lewisville Esso. ANN WHITMAN and LINDA BRANDON are the chief mechanics. This station is known to do business with the tire tycoon CAREY MOCK who is now owner of B.F. Goodrich. Carey is trying to persuade JACK TODD and TOM BINKLEY that his tires would be an asset to their new invention which is an automobile that can be folded and carried in a suitcase. KAY HAWKINS ' idea of a speedway was the best thing she ever thought of. She will probably make oodles of money from FRANK EVANS, JIM KENDRICK, HAL STULTZ, and VICKY BROWN, all of whom are some of the world's best known race car drivers. Vicky is especially well-known, even though she only has her permit. 46 FRANK TRANSOU is still selling shoes at Anchor Company, even though he owns the place. WOODY CORNATZER and JERRY TAYLOR have been trying to make a success of their new gym which is called the ''Mostest.'' They seem to be having a hard time because of ANN STEELMAN and her jump-jump. She has taken two of their regular customers, LINDA CONRAD and BETTY SPAUGH. Maybe the boys should have their faces lifted. TOMMY LAIRD, who has bought a sawmill and started his own furniture factory, is doing real well. He donated loads of furniture to HOLDER MOTEL for advertisement purposes. BLANCHE and CAROL must be desperate. JULIA MESSICK, JACKIE CASEY, and JUDY HARDIN are manufacturing punch bowls, plungers, and peanut shells in their newly formed company. However, all they do is fuss over which is to be Editor, President, and Chief. Life guard CLAY FURCHES is keeping a close watch on JIM WINFREY who is trying to teach MIKE BEAUCHAMP how to swim. EDDIE POWELL is using his mathematical mind to figure out how to make nothing but a hole-in-one each time you shoot. You know, angles and all that jazz. DAVID PICKETT, who is a gunsmith, is kept busy supplying the deerslayer, STEVE LEWIS, with guns. JIM BOYD and JIM MECHUM are still in the lamenating business. Only last week they burned to a crisp the drivers' licenses of CAROL HALE, SANDRA RIDEOUT, and SUE BEAUCHAMP. HUGH CHEEK, who is the heavy-heavy weight champion of the world, will defend his title against TOMMY JOHNSON, an up and coming fighter soon. Tommy's success must depend on his manager, GLENDA NIFONG. The referee will be CAROL JONES. HARRY PINK is the present checker champion of Clemmons. Dateline: Hollywood ROSALYN and SUSAN PRATT are co-producing the new movie ''Men Prefer Redheads. Starring in the movie are JOAN MILLER, JANE FOSTER, NANCY DAVIS, and BONNIE SINK. The leading men are BILL JARVIS and JERRY ROBERTSON. The JERRY SHORE combo has signed a contract to furnish the music for the movie. TONY JOHNSON, JACKIE BOYER, and PATSY PEGRAM, all members of the combo, are very happy for this new opportunity, but they feel that they could get along without LARRY CHILDRESS, MELVIN FORREST, and EUGENE STRUPE who are supposed to sing the theme song. Dateline: Washington, D.C. ROY FOSTER is serving as a French Interpreter at the United Nations. Roy always did love French. Rumors are that dishonest lady Congressman GEORGIA MARSHALL is trying to have him impeached for butchering French. That's a serious charge. The lone lady governor in the United States, JOYCE McGALLIARD, Governor of Pfafftown has recently been elected to her tenth straight term. Her two valets MARIE DAVIS and PATSY SHOAF are very proud of her. THOMAS MOODY is a Republican Congressman from Mississippi. Dateline: Cupidville CAROL RENEGAR and BARBARA PARKER, who are now sisters-in-law, are very happy with their newly formed sewing circle. They probably organized it for the less fortunate old maids, GLENDA LOCKLEAR, VEOLA YATES, JOYCE TESH, JANIE REICH, and EDNA JAMES. I wonder what happened to those poor girls. FAYE and KAY REICH, who were once known for comradeship, have gone their separate ways because of an argu- ment over a man. Sisters will be sisters. BYRON and DARLENE SEAGRAVES are still happily collecting stamps. The Romeos of the community, DON BOWMAN and WAYNE HAUSER, have decided that pool is much more profitable than girls. ANN SMITH is the nation's number one mole remover. MAXINE CRIM somehow chose the field of fortune telling. She probably predicted that all those dating couples, BOBBY BREWER and PAULETTE VESTAL,LACY HARRIS and MARGIE WHEELING, and CARL COOK and PAT LAWSON, would all someday be happily married. LINDSAY WATKINS is the head doctor at the new Clemmons Medical Center. JUDY ADCOCK, LINDA WATSON, and SANDY SMITH are all nurses on his staff. JAMES VICKERS, mayor of Hanestown, recently appointed HAROLD GROCE as his city manager. HARRY VOSS and KEN TATE are doing a stretch at Atlanta for bootlegging. Boys, moonshine is for the birds. The past ten years have certainly been fruitful ones. We hope that the next ten will prove to be even better.

Senior Class Mascots In January the Senior Class was given the opportunity to bring children to school as candidates for mascots. From about fifty shy, yet anxious, little boys and girls, the class voted on the two which they thought would represent the class well during Graduation. Because of a mischievous grin and a winning smile MARSHALL FRANK and ROBIN LOCKLEAR were chosen to be the mascots of 19017 Senior Class Sponsors We, the Seniors, would like to thank these six teachers for their interest in the Senior Class. Their guidance in senior activities has enabled us to make the right decisions during this, our most important high school year. The sponsors are, from left to right: Miss Frances Cook, Mrs. Bonnie Green, Mr. Phillip Triplett, Miss Ruth Farthing, and Miss Maxine Swaringen. Not pictured: Miss Nell Lennon. Juniors What a difference a year makes. This thought filled the minds of Juniors as they at last prepared for the Junior-Senior Prom. As each piece of clothing was sold, the Juniors were one step nearer their goal, a successful Junior-Senior.

The year was full of opportunities, decisions, and growing responsibilities. Each new subject was a challenge, but the students met these challenges with determination. The Juniors also found time for extra-curricular activities in their rushed schedule. The class had many outstanding representatives in sports, clubs, and other school functions. As the year drew to a close, the Juniors looked back with satisfaction, but forward with anticipation. 66 REBECCA BOYER BOB BREWER PAT BRYANT TOM BUCK IKE CAMPBELL CECILIA CHEEK NELLIE CLAYTON HILDA CLEARY STUART CLINARD ESTHER CLINE JUDY CONRAD VICKY CONRAD SYLVIA ARMSTRONG KATHERINE BAILEY LYNN BAILEY ELAINE BAITY BETTY JEAN BALL SHIRLEEN BEAUCHAMP DIANE BECKNER STEVE BLAKELY LINDA BOGER BONNIE BOONE CAROLYN BOWERS ANNE BOYD SNOOKEY EVERHART ALAN FRENCH LUENA GARRISON GRANT GREENE DEAMIE GRIFFITH PHYLLIS GRIFFITH KAREN GUNDERSON BETTY HALL JANET HARPER RICHARD HARPER RONNIE HARPER MIKE HAUSER JANE CRATER CAROLYN CRAVER CAROL CROUCH DONNA DAVIS RUBY DAVIS MARY DENNIS JOHNNY DISHER PHILLIP DUGGINS LARRY DULL CHARLES DUNN LOUISE DUNN KERMIT ESSEX EEA aMeT eer ee TT ae ROGER JONES EMILY KETNER MAMIE LOU KIMEL FRED KIMMER KAREN KING MARIAN LASHMIT CAROLYN LINEBERRY JANET LOAFMAN JERRY LOAFMAN FRANK LONG JUDY LUTZ LOUISE McBRIDE NORMAN HAUSER NORA JEAN HAYES ROBERT HEPLER JERRY HESTER MARGARET HEWITT JOHNNY HOFFMAN CAROL HOOTS RALPH JOHNSON DONALD JONES DONNIE JONES JUDY JONES PATSY JONES CARLTON NICHOLS GEORGE NIFONG FRANCES PETERS BRENDA PETTYJOHN SHARON PFAFF MARGARET PILCHER ROBERT REED SUSAN REYNOLDS GWYN RIDDLE MARYELLEN ROBERTSON ARCHIE ROTHROCK GARY ROTHROCK JACKIE McKNIGHT LONNIE MAINES GAYNELLE MARTIN JANE MARTIN MARY MARTIN JERRY MAYES SUE MEADOWS ROBERT MILLER JERRY MOCK BETTY MYERS SHIRLEY MYERS BILL NELSON LARRY SOWERS BONNIE SPANN DEANNA SPRINKLE LESLIE STONE PEGGY SULLIVAN CAROL SWEAT RUSTY TALBERT LARRY TOLBERT FRANCES TUTTLE THEON VANCE FRANKIE VAUGHT BOB VOGLER PEARL ROTHROCK SARAH SAIN JERR YaoGOlnl NANCY SEALEY JOE SHAPIRO JEANNIE SHAW CHUCK SHEEK JOHN SHOAF HAROLD SHORE TOMMY SHORE LINDA SMITH BEVERLY SNYDER JANE VOSS DARLA WALKER BOBBY WALL DAPHANE WALL RICHARD WATKINS MAC WEATHERMAN DENNIS WHITE WAYNE WILHELM EMILY WILLIAMS LEON WILLIAMSON DIANE WINDSOR SANDRA WINTERS ROBERT WISHON ELIZABETH WOLFE BOBBY WOOD PHYLLIS WOOSLEY Wee Sophomores With the Sophomore year came greater opportunities to partici- pate in school activities.

Each new day offered opportunities to serve in varied school activities, and many members of the class became important as they accepted roles of leadership. Sophomores found that they were the middle class--often overlooked by Seniors but looked up to by the Freshmen. Although many obstacles darkened a successful path, the Sophomores felt that their second year of high school had been full of many goals attained. 74 EDDIE BOOSE JAMES BRANHAM BETTY BREWER MIRIAM BREWER JIMMY BURKE FRANKIE BUTCHER ANN CALLOWAY JACKIE CHANDLER CHARLES CHERRY WILMA COLE MARTIE COLLETTE DON COLLINS CAROLYN CONRAD CHARLES CORNATZER JUDY COX LYNN ADCOCK BRUCE ALLCORN PERRIE ANDERSON TOBY ANGEL MARY ANN BALL BRENDA BARNEY GLENDA BARNEY JERRY BARNEY LOIS BEAUCHAMP SANDRA BEAUCHAMP DONALD BECKNER NANCY BEROTH LEONA BINKLEY JOAN BODSFORD BURTON BONER GARLAND FEARRINGTON GERALD FEARRINGTON SHELIA FORD JAKE FOSTER ANGELINE GIGLIO HAZEL GORDON ANN GREEN SUSAN GREESON ODELL GROCE LAURA JO HAMPTON MARTHA HARDIN GRAY HAYES LEONARD HAYES JERRY HEGE DENNIS HENDRICK SAMMY COX ALLEN CRAVER RITA CRAVER TOMMY CRAVER MARY LOIS DARNELL FAYE DAVIS WAYNE DAVIS RICHARD DOUB TIFFIN DRAIN CALVIN DULL TOMMY DULL JUDY EASTER THOMAS EBERT JEAN ELLISON HAROLD ELMORE ELIZABETH HEPLER LONNIE HESTER PATSY HI CKS CHARLES HILL ROGER HOCKADAY BRENDA HOLDER EVELYN HOLDER ARTHUR HOLSHOUSER BONNIE HOWARD BRENDA HOWARD KAY HOWERTON VIRGINIA HUDSON NANCY HUFF JANET HUNTER JIMMY HUNTER SANDY HUNTER KENNETH JAMES | ROXIE JESTER BARRY JOHNSON LINDA JONES WAYNE JOYNER JUDY KENDRICK BRENDA KETNER DEWEY KIGER PAT LANDRETH SUE LANIER ROLAND LARK EDGAR LAWSON BARBARA LEWIS BARBARA JOYNER BETTY LEWIS JANE LINEBACK PHOEBE LINEBACK WAYNE LIVENGOOD JON LOWDER NANCY LUPER SHELBY LYONS LONNIE McDANIEL RONNIE McDANIEL BUTCH McINNIS JAMES McMORDIE G RAY MACY BILLIE GAYE MARTIN BUCKY MARTIN PAT MARTIN ¥ RONNIE MATTHEWS KAY MAYNARD PAT MILHOUS BEN MILLER JOHNNY MILLER JULIA MILLER PATSY MILLER H.V.

Remember the work, Southwest has been the scene of many rewarding experiences during this past year. We have worked faithfully to reach a goal; we have laughed even when things went wrong; and finally we were rewarded for our attempts to bring success to our school. On these two pages is a review of the work, the fun, and the rewards we have shared. Laughter filled the auditorium as the teachers took the students' place and presented a talent show. Many of the students were surprised to see that teachers could do something other than stand in front of a class room everyday. The story of ''Ferdinand the Bull seemed to be the most hilarious because of Mr. Robinson's appearance in black leotards. He Ain't Done- Right By Nell, a presentation by the dra- matics class, wonsmilesof approval among the students. Although the class was a new one at Southwest, the characters in the play showed definite signs of superior work. Memories of sweet little Nell, the sly villian, and the slips of the tongue were remembered long after the final curtain was drawn. Another successful addition to Southwest's curriculum was the boys'home economics class taught by Mrs. Elizabeth Greene. The boys took a genuine interest in learning to sew, cook, and draw house plans. Everyone was pleased with the progress of these boys, especially after they had sewed the final buttons on their own vests. Pride mounted as these boys cooked their first meal and labeled it good. Although it seemed strange to see boys roaming around the home ec lab, Southwest was very pleased with their accomplishments. Students were always happy to bring honor to Southwest. Glenda Locklear climbed high as she became both secretary and outstanding D.E. member of the Northwestern North Carolina Distributive Education Association. Glenda is just a representative of the many students who received honors through their untiring work. Homecoming is a traditional ceremony held during the root- ball season. Classes choose representatives, and each of these girls dream of being crowned as Homecoming Queen. However, as in everything, only one person wins, and this year Barbara Parker walked down the football field with a crown on her head and happiness in her heart. the fun, the rewards . . . Another tradition of Southwest is the annual Christmas program presented by the Seniors. This year the presentation was particu- larly impre ssive as the nativity scene was dramatized on our new stage. Although the story was old and the carols familiar, a real Christmas spirit was anewed within each viewer. In recognition of the semester honor roll, the National Honor Society held an assembly to present emblems to those students who made either the semester or quarter honor roll. The students who had worked to have high scholastic averages felt a sense of pride as they were rewarded for their accomplishment. Service also accompanied our daily school life. As a result of this service, the meaning of responsibility was instilled in many Southwest students. Sometimes these jobs seemed to be burdens, but with broad minds, Trojans faced the fact that work has to be mixed with pleasure in all aspects of life. By accepting assigned duties, these servers became young men and women. Because of outstanding service to the school, a boy and girl were chosen regularly to be Students of the Month. This, too, was an honor as the students had to possess qualities of a well- rounded life and a pleasing personality. Among ourbig events of the year was the Southwest Follies. This student talent show proved to be one of the most successful projects ever sponsored by the Student Council. Planning this event took long hours of both group and individual work, and due to excellent student participation and organization the Southwest Follies even surpassed expectations. As we can see, our school year was highlighted by many rewarding activities. Each of them greatly benefitted both the students and the school. Yes, with satisfaction we remember the work, the fun, and the rewards of a fruitful year at Southwest. Honor Graduates As a reward of their outstanding scholastic achievement, these eleven girls have been given the title 'Honor Graduate. This name denotes long hours of study and striving to reach the top. With a total of 193 A's and 26 B's these girls maintained the highest scholastic averages in their graduating class. Being an Honor Graduate is the most out- standing award bestowed upon a Senior, and as a lasting reminder of their superior ac- complishment a trophy is presented to them at graduation.

Student Council The purpose of the Student Council at Southwest is to better the relationship between the faculty and students and to further the good will of our school. Members of the council are chosen from each class to represent their classmates. The Student Council began promoting closer association be - tween students in the summer of 1960 by sponsoring a student body picnic. Then in September, the teachers were honored at a luncheon to bring about a closer student-teacher association. Throughout the months of September, October, «and November, dances were sponsored by the Student Council in order to create more school spirit. The Southwest gym was the scene for the tra - ditional Christmas Dance and this, too, was given by the Student Council. Southwest Follies, a student talent show production, was organized by members of the Student Council and presented in December. This took many hours of work, but everything seemed worthwhile when the show was labeled a success. The council is also responsible for sending remembrances to students during illness and flowers in times of sorrow, presenting assembly programs and devotionals, and running the school store. The council is also responsible for many other things which make school life at Southwest happy and successful. The Student Council is continually searching for new oppor- tunities to assist the student body. Because of untiring service and the will to succeed, the Student Council is one of Southwest's most effective organizations.

Advisor MISS RUTH FARTHING The primary purpose of ''The Odyssey, '' the school newspaper, is to present a summary of the school activities during a certain period of time and to inform the students with other items of interest. A secondary purpose is to develop interest and discover talent in journalism. The newspaper is published irregularly according to the pace of school activities. The staff is composed of several sections including Features, News, Sports, Editorial, Business, Photography, Proofing, and Exchange. Ouill and Scroll The Quill and Scroll is an international honor society for high school journalists. The Southwest Chapter in- ducts new members into the society from both the news- paper and annual staffs in the spring. Students inducted must have shown outstanding journalistic accomplish- ment during the preceding year.

Key Club The Key Club of Southwest is a service or- ganization which strengthens the school, commu- nity, and each individual member. The purposes of the Key Club are to develop initiative and leadership in high school boys, to prepare them for their prospective adult roles, and to teach them the meaning of serviceable, aggressive citizenship. Key Club members are constantly ready to render their services in numerous ways. The con- cession stand is operated by Key Club boys, and money taken in by this project helps to decrease the school athletic debt. As a community project, the boys distributed Good-Will bags. The American flag which we fly proudly at Southwest each day is the result of another Key Club project. Boys raised funds for this important addition to Southwest by running a laminating machine at school. Because of their desire to keep our standards high, Southwest has richly profited by the service of Key Club International.

National Honor Society It is the purpose of the National Honor Society to promote Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service; the four bases for membership in the Society. Students meeting the require - ments for membership were inducted into the Society in fall and spring in- ductions. In promoting good scholarship the Society presented scholastic emblems to all students making the yearly Honor Roll. In addition to regu- lar recognition of the Honor Rolls, an Improvement Roll. was announced to stimulate those not making the Honor Roll but who did show improvement. This year the Southwest Chapter was given the state-wide responsibility of editing the Torchlighter,' a news- paper containing news from Society chapters of the state. History Club Mr. Robinson's second-period United States History class organized into a History Club thisyear. They elected officers and decided to have interesting programs twice a month, It is the aim of the History Club to create a keener interest in United States History and current events. The majority of the class made an educational trip to Virginia. They toured the campus of the University of Virginia, Monticello, and Gettysburg. Everyone felt that this trip was very interesting and worthwhile.

The Sociology Club is a com- paratively new, but very active, club. Its purpose is to stimulate interest and promote a feeling of responsibility concerning world happenings and situations. During the 1960 presiden- tial campaigning period, the club helda miniature political rally com- plete with posters and speeches. After the meeting a ballot, observing the national regulations, was taken. Since then several topics have been dis- cussed. The most interesting of these was the 'Living Conditions of Migrate Workers in the United States.'' The high-light of the year came when the club visited Dunham's Nursing Home at Christmas and presented an or- ganized program to the guests.

Future Homemakers of America To understand our neig hbors both at home and abroad was the objective which the F.H.A. Club strived to obtain this year. In working to learn more about our foreign neighbors they had a panel on Foreign Education, and slides were shown which made them realize that America is not the only beauty of the earth. As an annual event the F.H.A. girls honored their mothers at the Mother-Daughter Banquet. At this banquet the girls who had given much of their time in achieving a homemaker's degree were honored, and the newly elected officers were also installed. This gave the mothers a chance to see their daughters becoming homemakers. Projects carried out by the club this year were baby sitting for P.T.A., dressing dolls for the United Fund, and getting to know and understand the aged by visiting and presenting them gifts. Learning to be a homemaker, working to be a good family member, promoting international goodwill, developing leadership, meeting others, and helping them, and enjoying individual and group recreation are the purposes which the F.H.A. has strived hard to meet this year.

This is the pledge of the girls at Southwest who have joined the F.B.L.A. Their purpose is to promote better business leader- ship for future years. Included in this year's F.B.L.A. activities were panel discussions conceming problems which arise in a secretary's job, and a bake sale which provided funds for the State F.B.L.A. Convention. In addition to these projects, F.B.L.A. girls were constantly ready to add to the club's scrap- book and putup bulletin boards which added to the attractiveness of the commercial classrooms. 118 D7 Front row, left to right: Joyce McGalliard, Ernestine Brewer, Billie Jarvis, Carol Sweat, Deamie Griffith, Carol Jean Hale.

This year the club chose to sponsor a Black and Red football game, and a car wash. The most successful of their projects was The Romance of the Century,' 'awomanless wedding. This play aroused much enthusiasm throughout the school as students flocked to open- ing night to see football players don frilly dresses and high heels. With their funds, the club financed the development of film that was taken during football games and helped purchase sweat suits which are used by the boys during practice.

After watching the boys for the first few days of practice, there was a growing hope of a try for that conference crown. But as the season progressed it seemed that luck was not with us. As the boys played the Red and Black game in August, the team as a whole looked good. Then as the season's luck started forming, many of our players were injured. Lindsay Watkins and Thomas Moody received knee injuries; Woody Comatzer chipped a bone in his elbow; and Lacy Harris and Frank Harrelson sprained their ankles. Misfortune seemed to over rule luck as the Trojans faced defeat, but hopes were held high. We looked forward to our Homecoming Game, but as the night progressed, the queen was happy —the team was sad. Our record for the season stands with 2 wins, 1 tie, and 7 losses. Some of these losses were close right down to the last whistle, but in football close doesn't count. Our team showed strength on the defense the entire season, but due to injuries, the Trojan offense just didn't get rolling right. In football you make your own luck, and somewhere along the way our Trojan team lost the formula. So in the books it goes as a 2-1-7 season, but our boys played better football than the records show.

When we have gone our separate ways, we will have these moments to remember, é o wn... en. acces. seb snail — aoe Neal Throughout high school both boys and girls dream of their Junior-Senior Proms, Somehow this simple phrase creates tingles of excitement as the girls begin to think of those billowing formals and that first touch of eye shadow, Boysare not left out of this flutter of emotions, astheir thoughts turn to Who will I ask to the Junior- Senior? Plans are made, in- vitations are sent, and Seniors politely accept. As time draws near, the Juniors’ existance be- comes a slight state of pande- monium, Finally the big night arrives and then flees much too swiftly. But always to remember will be the happiness of the Junior- Senior Prom, The Junior class played host to the Seniors on Saturday, April 29, 1961 for the annual Junior- Seniors Prom, The godmother waved her wand over the new Moose Lodge and it became the scenesior 'April an Paris. ’ Lhe Eiffel Tower rose with dignity in the background, and at her feet couples danced on the banks of the Seine or sat at their leisure in the shade of the sidewalk cafes. In either case the Toby Mason Combo provided dreamy music throughout the evening, The prom was a success in every way; how- ever, it left a variety of emotions. The Juniors were already looking forward to the prom of '62, while the Seniors looked back with slight nostalgia and wished that they, too, could look forward to another Junior-Senior Prom, Cast Patokahs. welseesiecviees oie DAV ID orIChK Ei SOPUPOM la srereterolerereteloterctehe. eretere JOAN MILLER Maria tetcsls «s sicle sleset siete LUN AaIN COL ODy reece eee eee ee DOUCTIONES CaUEN 2 Ganon a0 0nd GOCOC CO ZN NIN SI MSISI LW hseN, DeESdeerecitee tel cclecte volt OD ema OLN Mir eGOrdOns joni. eile cine ciety CELE NitSse GOTO wercisicicl sine ste com EN Deen iS Et x BUTCH HOGUE RErriivebrertnis wterecctotet tere ee ene Henrys McKay... sect scleciece cae DLL Ea AI VLS Directors MISS MAXINE SWARINGEN MISS RUTH FARTHING MRS, HELEN BRYANT ‘“Mountain Gal” Mountain Gal, a hillbilly comedy, was the first Senior play to be given at Southwest. Due to the height of success it reached at both performances, March 24 and 25 markedan imp ortant event in both the history of the school and the class. 'Mountain Gal unified the Class of '61 and made each member feel as though he belonged to a worth- while body. It became quite usual to hear such statements as What's going to happen to Deedee? and I just can't stand that Maria!'' coming from all the Seniors, Everyone took a genuine interest in the outcome of Deedee, a sweet orphan girl, who had come to live at the Lindsay farm in the Ozark Mountains, Through many, many hours of practice, through hours of depression, through hours of patience from Miss Swaringen, and through hours of working together, Mountain Gal was ready for the stage. All to soon, Mountain Gal' was in the past, but deep in the heart of each Senior a warm feeling of pride nourished the wound of leaving our play with yesterday's achievements, 144 It has been said that patience is a virtue, The Seniors realized how true this maxim is as they waited for their graduation to finally come. There was the lining up and waiting for the processional, there was waiting for the four speakers to give their words of wisdom to the audience, there was waiting for Mr, Simpson to call their names as they were presented high-school diplomas, and then the waiting was over. To many Seniors this left an emptiness they could not describe, But yet the world had beengiven to each Graduate that night, and it was left up to the in- dividual to mold that world into something which would be remembered as a success, The Senior class was united by a common bond which reached its height on May 31, 1961, This group had worked together for four years, and many times the Seniors felt as though they were fighting a losing battle. Through constant effort the class was unified and worked as one 146 Class of Nineteen - body rather than one hundred and fifty three individual ones, Each Senior shared in the moments of happiness, sadness, triumph, and defeat which befall each graduating class, Hundred Sixty-One However, the Class of '61 reached success in all its endeavors and strived to uphold the standards of Southwest, The most important high school year was soon over for these people, but there were many happy memories left 147 which would be taken along the various ways of life, Pride in a finished task is a worthwhile feeling, The Seniors realized this truth as they looked on their class—the CLASS O1lol, Present, Juture Learning from the past, looking to the future, but living in the present, The Honor Graduates of 1961 chose the Senior class motto as the topic for the Commencement program, The four speakers, chosen by the Honor Graduates, em- phasized the importance of this motto and re- lated it to the lives of each of the Seniors, The past is behind us, and there is no way to call it back, But we are profitted through our past mistakes and therefore are able to live a better present. The future is a wonderful concept on which we can build our dreams and hopes, We are stimulated by our own desires and work con- stantly to fulfill them, However, we can live neither in the memories of the past nor in the dreams of the future, Living in the present— living one day at a time—is the only way to build a successful past, And each accomplish- ment of today is a dream fulfilled, for today is yesterday's future, We, the ILIAD staff, hope that you have enjoyed this condensed ersion of a complete school year at Southwest. Each page represents “moment from the past, and in the future we hope they will become ymbols of happy, carefree high school days. 149 | Beak y hued | Autographs Hk.
