His wisdom and understanding have led us up the long road to maturity. Through his knowledge and guidance, we have learned the true meaning of sportsmanship, loyalty, and school spirit. I-Ie has taught us to play the game fairly whether we win or not, for the realwinner is the one who takes a defeat cheerfully. ln appreciation for his guidance and understanding, we, the Senior Class of 1961, dedicate this, our annual, with humble thanks, to COACH EARL BRADLEY3 who led our Yellow jackets through an undefeated season and the championship of the Yadkin Valley Conference. 3 nina-sn-1 Kim Andrews--Bobby Shepherd CLASS SONG NOW IS THE HOUR Now is the hour when we must say good-by, Soon We'll be leaving dear old Sparta High. May future years be filled with joy and peaoe, And may we never know no great defeat. Now as the years of life go drifting by, We'll ne're forget you, dear old Sparta High. With all our work, our pleasures and our thrills, We'll always remember you throughout the years. Lord take our life, and make it wholly Thine, Fill out our pathways with great love devine. Thou art our Guiding Star from up above, Take us and fill our hearts with peace and love. By: MELVIN MILES H91 Preparing for the day Last minute review. Seniors hard at work.

Each of my classmates of '61 have begun their performance on life's stage. lt will be interesting I'm sure to learn what role each is playing, ' JOE TILLEY has been looking around for an office to hang his medical sign on. You know he is a dentist, I suppose. I always wondered why he worked so hard to build up those muscles. Hold on to the chair, patients, please. W'ho is this I see? BILLY WAYNE CROUSE-he's the head Athletic Director of the new consolidated Alleghany High School. If you have been reading the newspapers, you know that one of the top scientists of the day is none other than CYNTHIA SWISHER. They say she is a wizard and can split an atom to the N-th degree. I hear JAMES SCOTT and JOE HIGGINS are still big farmers and are members of the Department of Agriculture in Raleigh. This month's issue of CHARM really disappeared from the newstand, but no wonder. Our own MARGARET ANDREWS' face smiled prettily on the cover wear- ing a new Easter Bonnet. She really is a lovely model. JOHN LEE has become North Carolina's first Linguist. He can now speak every language in the world. NORMA JEAN WOODRUFF, history teacher of fifth grade at dear old Sparta High, Yes, children Columbus discovered America in 1492, but the world discovered us, and we made history in 1961. FLOYD MURPHY may be small but he really has a good thinker in that little head of his. He is now North Carolina's most prominent Senior Accountant. W'hat's on that sign on the new office building on Main Street--BARNEY FOLGER, Professional Dentistry, Painless Extraction. We don't know about that, but that blond fellow is really an attraction. B ILL BARE is the head Business Administrator at Roanoke Business College. I bet you don't know who his private secretary is-LINDA BAUGUS-of course. EARLENE JARVIS has just been elected president of the North Carolina Society of Cosmetologists. She specializes in permanent waves, facials, and oh, yes dimples. WAYNE TRIPLETT has just perfected the smallest electric motor for Western Electric. If any of you fellas and girls go sailing on the sea of matrimony on your honeymoon, how about dropping in to see MYRTLE BLEVINS in Florida? I under- stand she has quite a fleet of yachts. Do you know who built the new Skyland Bridge bypassing Sparta? -ANDY YASINSAC-of course. He is one of the greatest civil engineers yet. LINDA JO CRITCHER decided to follow her husband. She is now working near the Air Force Base as a personnel director. We all dreaded Mondays in school,but DEAN MABE couldn't stand them. He has improved though his wife tells me he gets to work every other Monday morning. I hear Memorial Hospital has quite a time keeping NANCY JANE CROUSE and CAROLYN OWENS from talking. We always did at school too, but they were very successful and turned out to be real good nurses. LARRY RECTOR has invented a heated swimming suit so he can go swimming all year round. Our quiet JOE OSBORNE attended N. C. State College and decided to really make himself worthwhile. He always was good at football, but we never dreamed he would someday be coaching in a large city school. PRECIOUS BRADY has been named number one pivot girl on the United States' first girls' basketball team.

GARY PARLIER always was pretty good at sketching. He now has a job as a commercial artist for one of the largest newspapers in North Carolina. PAULINE LUCAS is now married to her old lover. I hear she is a very efficient wife. Say, who is that smiling nurse coming out of Room 211 in Duke Hospital? BETTY JO CI-IOATE, of course. DAVID ANDREWS and DAVID FENDER are two of the most successful farmers of our day. l've heard they had to build larger bams this year because they are buying new machinery. Listen, I hear singing. It sounds like the voice of MARY ALICE HICKS, who is now recording the nation's top hit tunes. Her voice will always be remembered by her classmates. BARBARA LOU COMBS is now secretary for her husband. Barbara always was good in typing, but no one ever guessed she would someday be a secretary and marry her boss Lower the gang plank, folks Do you see what I see? None other than our own CARROLL GENTRY, who is now in the U. S. Army. Say, who is that going in the parsonage? The former WANDA MAINES, who is the bride of the new Baptist Minister. She always was a wonderful person, and I know she'll make a model wife BOBBY HOLLOWAY is doing quite well for himself in his new hardware store. He says he is selling new brides can openers instead of rolling pens. 'Take a letter, please MISS BARBARA TRUITT She is secretary to the President of a large bank in Greensboro.

CARLYLE SHEPHERD formerly of Sparta, stars for the Wake Forest 'Deamon Decons'. W ll, all I can say is, I bet it's going to be exciting. NANCY ELIZABETH CROUSE as you know attended Wake Forest.

BOBBY CROUSE made the headlines on the sports page when the Sparta Yellow Jackets won the pennant. You know he is manager of the team. DENNIS REEVES has finally gotten on television as a comedian. There was never a dull moment at school as long as Dennis was around. And now that l have exhausted our senior roll it seems to me that in 1961 we were as a Hollywood performance, 66 actors performing as a unit, now we are each individually performing on life's stage It is sad to think that we are not so close as we were in '61, but it is comforting to know that we are all e to attend this o r last performance LINDA JO CRITCHER - Class Prophetess ' .-. . .

I Class History On August 29, 1949, rehearsals began on the stage of life with a completely new cast. Some of us were shy and bashful, even tearful, while others were brave and pushed back the tears under the guiding hands of thoughtful loving teachers and grademothers. Rehearsals continued for eight short years under the capable leadership of our directors. ln those years many new faces and personalities were added to our group but unfortunately many of the performers quit the show. There was never a dull moment for the performers or the audience. Little things such as fights over the jump ropes, so called tattle tales, a certain performer fainting, little romances, people crying everyday and new practice teachers gave the perfonners just the spice it needed. We had rehearsed for eight years now, for which we received an honored certificate for our performances. Now we felt we were ready to go to work to achieve our next major production-graduation. The stage was set and the curtain opened on the first act, A Freshman Knows Not and Knows l-Ie Knows Not. The stars were as follows: President, Barney Folger, Vice-President, lean Toliver, Secretary, Barbara Truitt, Treasurer, Carlyle Shepherd. We started rehearsal as members of F.F.A., F.l'l.A., and other activities such as basketball and cheerleading. We elected Margaret as our Homecoming Queen, representing the ninth grade. The act ended with a thrill of being out of school for three months, but we were still anxious for summer vacation to pass. The curtain opened on the second act, A Sophomore Knows Not and Knows He Knows Not. The following were stars for this act: President, Charles Edwards, Vice-President, jerry Sanders, Secretary, Polly Lucas, Treasurer, Billy Wayne Crouse, and Reporter, Margaret Andrews. This year, members of our cast worked just a little harder and fourteen performers of the cast became members of the Beta Club. We elected Polly Lucas, Homecoming Queen, represent- ing the tenth grade. The third act, A junior Knows But Knows Not That He Knows, found us with work to do. The stars of this performance were President, Charles Edwards, Vice-President, Carol Sue Waytt, Secretary, Patsy Truitt, Treasurer, jean Toliver, and Reporter, Mary Alice Hicks. We were very excited on the day when we measured for and ordered our class rings. Each performer took part in working for the main event of the year, our junior-Senior Prom, with the theme Silver Moon Over Hawaii. This year the class elected jean Toliver, Homecoming Queen, representing the eleventh grade. Many performers of our cast took part in the Beta Club Ministral, which was a great success under the leadership of our director, Mr. Dolinger. ln April the Beta star performers wnet to Raleigh for the State Con- vention, The last act, A Senior Knows and Knows He Knows, found us looking forward to our senior year. A few of the perfomiers were engaged and others deciding on their future. Was college the next performance? Stars for the Senior performance were: President,Charles Edwards, Vice-President,Carlyle Shepherd, Secre- tary, Polly Lucas, Treasurer, Barney Folger, and Reporter, jean Toliver. Our annual, THE SPARTAN, was published after many long, hard hours of work. Some of the most joyous occasions of this year were, receiving our class rings, electing Precious Brady as Homecoming Queen, thus winning the contest by our hard work, In addition to these acts, we selected mascots and superlatives. Then there was the last junior-Senior Prom, a beautiful occasion which will never be forgotten by the entire cast. We have now reached our final performances, class night, the baccaulerate, and at last graduation. We shall soon be departing and going out into life to try to make it a success. Each will use the year of rehearsing and presenting the acts at Sparta High School as strength and support for beginning the next per- formance in our life. The curtain has closed and the stage is ready for a new cast to begin their performance. The show must go on. MARY ALICE HICKS Class Historian Class Poem THESE YEARS The lightning flashed, the thunder roared Cl M And all the world stood still, ass The day we entered Sparta High One who fails to prepare, prepares to fail. We thought our dreams fulflued' We were but lowly freshmen To the seniors up on high, We sought their help, as they had done In days that had gone by. A year has passed, with many a week Filled with trial and doubt. At last we find the thing we seek- Class C0l0rS what is life about? Climbing upward step by step We slowly neared the top, Making promises we had kept We found there was no stop.
