VOLUME FIVE Vicki Draughn Editor Kay Reid Junior Editor Bob White Business Manager Evelyn Holyfield Adviser James McPherson Adviser AQUILA ded-i-ca-tion (ded ' a-Ka • shen) n. [L] A name and a message, pretixed to a book expressing affection for a friend. TO COACHES HAYES AND WILLIARD, we dedicate the 1966 AQUILA for their untiring efforts to serve the school, the students, and the community in the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship—a spirit which prevails in the classroom as well as in our athletic program. Jubliant Coach Hayes displays the prized football trophy rep¬ resenting a team effort that changed thelong string of defeats into a crown of victories. Mr. Williard, basketball coach, strives to build competitive spirit, determination, and sportsmanship. 2 10 Administration 26 Leadership 40 Organizations 52 Sports 66 Students 104 Advertisements 3 The Spirit On Which We Thrive- SCHOOL SPIRIT The character of a school is made up of many things. It is inspiration—an influence which helps us to find ourselves and to lead others. It is enthusiasm for a cause, an opportu¬ nity to participate in activities which interest us and to ac¬ complish goals which we set for ourselves. It is fun and recreation—friendly competition in which we develop a group spirit, a sense of belonging. It is the enjoyment of learning, whether we are preparing ourselves for further instruction or developing and training skills for an immediate vocation. It is a feeling of pride, a sense of loyalty because we are a part of Central and have helped to make it what it is. All of these things give our school its personality—its spirit, and we voice our pride in our Alma Mater: We are from Central, Eagles brave and true; We ' re proud of Central, She will do her best for you! 5 C H 5 ffiilH: II I : fe,l in-spi-ra-tion (in ' spa.ra ' shenfn.

The success of any undertaking depends upon its leader¬ ship. At Surry Central worthwhile activities stem from super¬ vision of capable and influential student leaders who are responsible for informative programs, worthwhile projects, and effective student government. These potential com¬ munity leaders accept responsibilities with eagerness and enthusiasm. Gail Hayden and Brenda Norman welcome college repre¬ sentatives for annual College Day. 5 en-thu-si-asm (in.thoo ' ze.az ' em) n.[LL] Earnest and fervent feeling; ardent zea fo r a cause. Well-rounded students participate in the varied extra¬ curricular life of Central. Clubs and organizations provide opportunities for enthusiastic young people to learn to work together and to take part in rewarding school and community projects. Enthusiastic crowd goes wild after victorious game. Mr. Lanier good-naturedly exemplifies typical Surry Central enthusiasm. 6 Vg«i Mr. Gentry presents Class AA Championship trophy to Coach Hayes and a group of happy boys. zeal (zel) n. [OF] Ardor for a cause, fervor, enthusiastic devotion. Zeal is the fighting spirit exemplified by our boys in all sports at Central. Each competitor knows the tears of defeat and the cheers of victory. Zeal and determination ride on 7 each punt, free throw shot, swing of the bat, head of a golf club, and toss of a discus. Mount Airy News Photo. Danny Hardy proudly displays shop tool. Senior float wins first prize. Ecstatic crowd and cheerleaders are overcome with joy. de-vo-tion (di-vo ' shan ) n. A giving (attention, time, oneself) completely to some purpose; loyalty. Hour by hour, day by day, month by month, each stu¬ dent walks these hallowed halls with one main purpose—the purpose of acquiring knowledge. Whether his talents be great or small, each student endeavors to use them. Central is noisy halls, crowded lockers, competitive sports, but most of all Central is devotion to learning. Seniors, after twelve years, don caps and gowns. 8 Mount Airy News Photo loy-al-ty (loi ' el-te)n. [OF] Devoted allegiance. Win or lose, we ' re proud of Central. Zeca presents a memento from Brazil to Mr. Lanier. Each student and each supporter of Central shows loyalty by attending her sports events in all kinds of weather-fair or foul, and by backing her every endeavor. The words, We ' re from Central and couldn ' t be prouder, will echo in each heart forever, for truly the students and the patrons have made Central what she is today. 9 min-is-tra-tion (ad. min ' is.trashan) n. The persons, collectively, who perform executive duties of an institution, or of; the like. Principal Our principal, Mr. Lanier, is the focal point of the school. Although there are minor clerical, managerial, and public relations jobs in a school, he spends most of his energy and time in the improvement of teaching and learning. The mark of the successful principal is to listen, to watch, to know when and how to help teachers and students and to see that they have the necessary tools for instruction. Superintendent Our superintendent, Mr. Gentry, confers, works, and plans with all school personnel in the county to achieve the best methods of instruction, school or¬ ganization, and school government. Working with the county board of edu¬ cation, he plans a budget each year and presents it to the county commis¬ sioners for approval. These funds are then dispersed for the operation of the schools. Assistant Superintendent The assistant superintendant, Dr. Richards, is the right arm of the Superintendent in the coordination of the entire instructional program in the school system. He develops a program of study and assists the principals in implementing it. The needs of the various schools are fulfilled through him. The new federal programs for education are also his responsibility. 10 Mrs. White Secretary Mrs. W. L.

Because the people of the ages have expressed themselves in literature, the English department devotes time to a study of writing so that the student can appreciate his legacy of the written word. Journalism, a new class added in the English department this year, has as its main functions to collect news items, to Students of the journalism prepare and distribute the school paper, and to serve on The Aguila staff. Through this work, students develop alertness, promptness, and responsibility. They become familiar with good journalistic works while learning the vocabulary, style, and purposes of professional writing. Offered to seniors, the course provides the student an opportunity to use his desire to write and to see some of his compositions in print; every student must prepare one article each month for the school paper. In this manner, he gets a firsthand working knowledge of the English language. class survey their finished product, an issue of the Centralette. Virginia C. Cooke, B. S.

Meredith College French I, II, III Composition Yearbook Adviser National Honor Society Adviser Three years of French at Surry Central offer students an opportunity to attain a degree of proficiency in both speaking and writing a foreign language. Records, tape recordings, French songs and games, and correspondence with French- speaking boys and girls aid in this program. In French II students begin supplementary reading, usually short stories of simple construction. In French III this reading continues with short biographies of important Frenchmen, geographical selections, excerpts from works of French authors, and a complete play. The play, often by a modern French author, is one that will be presented in French at UNC-G during the year-by Le Treteau de Paris, a group from the famed Comedie Fran aise. Students from the French III class then enjoy the evening performance on the UNC-G campus. Members of the French III class study the play they will see at Aycock Auditorium in Greensboro. 13 Students find math hard, but interesting. Mathematics, a tool used by man throughout centuries of time, has made possible mass production, mechanization, and even space exploration. The mathematics de¬ partment at Central strives to im¬ part to each student a knowledge of the use of this tool which will best fulfill his basic needs, not only in his high school career, but through¬ out his entire life. For many stu¬ dents, this includes a detailed study of the basic principles and concepts of mathematics, as well as the application of mathematics to other subjects. For most, how¬ ever, mathematics gives experi¬ ence in the computations common to the business affairs of daily life. Students prepare to carry out an experiment in physics. Ann B. Patterson, B. S.

Appalachian State General Science Chemistry Louise Bauguess A.B., M.A. High Point College University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Algebra, Advanced Math Science The science department offers the students an opportunity to develop skills in reflective thinking, inductive and de¬ ductive reasoning with emphasis placed on the problem-solving technique. The purpose of the laboratory work is to acquaint students with the process of inquiry as a means for exploring and developing ideas, since meaningful learning starts with a problem and involves exploration and discovery by the stu¬ dent. The teaching staff of the Surry Central science de¬ partment has endeavored to organize and present science education at every level so as to stimulate and develop scientific interests, attitudes, and appreciations. In a laboratory session, chemistry students collect oxygen by displacement of water. Clara S. Freeman, B. S.

There are two types of programs offered for students in Distributive Education. One is a cooperative type of program in which students receive their academic subjects in addition to the actual working experience of on-the-job training. Stu¬ dents attend classes in the morning and work in the afternoon. The second type of program offered by DE is the preparatory program, and its major difference is that the students remain in school all day without receiving the actual on-the-job training; however, they are encouraged to work during the holidays, weekends, and summers. We are utilizing the latter program here at Surry Central this year. Kay Dockery and Wanda Sprinkle learn the basic methods of sales¬ manship. Marketing and Building Trades Seventy-five interested boys are participating in a new program at Central this year, Building Trades. It is an occupation-oriented course covering a family of occupations within the construction industry. It introduces the student to basic skills and knowledg e which will be expanded in succeeding courses to prepare him for a skilled occupation. The course covers the following areas: carpentry, masonry, drafting, sheetmetal construction, and electrical wiring. Carpentry class puts finishing touches on their first project, a new press box. Mr. Cox instructs boys in the art of drafting. Mack E. Everette, B. S. Appalachian State Marketing Vocational Guidance Counselor DECA Adviser 16 Understanding of history helps solve today ' s problems. The social studies department offers courses in civics, United States and world history, world geography, and sociology and economics. As sophomores, students study the general scope of world history; then as juniors they spend a year in concentrated study of the history of our country. Sociology and economics, offered only to seniors, pro¬ vide a chance for the student to study the social and the economic structures of his society. World geography, offered to juniors and seniors, gives the student an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the countries of the world and of their peoples.

Approximately 1000 new books have been added to the library collection thus far in 1965-66, including 100 student dictionaries, a set of Americana Encyclopedia, Life Nature Library, and Life World Library. Most of these were purchased through NDEA. New filmstrips have also been added in the science and his¬ tory departments. Additional books, filmstrips, and equipment will be purchased before the close of the school term by funds made available through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1966. Funds provided through this act are also being used to provide a teacher-aide, who is serving as audio-visual coordinator. Fifteen student assistants work in the library during their study halls. Ruth H. Freeman, A. B. Emory and Henry College Librarian Mrs. Freeman and assistants find an unending task in straightening books. The guidance department helps with many problems. Guidance in all its aspects is a cooperative and con¬ tinuous program, involving every member of the school staff. T he guidance department of Surry Central High School seeks to support and supplement the total educational program. Recognizing that each student is a unique individual, the guidance program seeks specifically to provide educational, vocational, and personal-adjustment counseling for every student. With the help of the guidance services, the indi¬ vidual is enabled to develop his abilities and interests to the optimum, maturing and emerging as a responsible citizen and worker, ready to take his place in society.

Courses in typewriting, shorthand, bookkeeping, business mathematics, business law, and office practice provide a broad background for future office workers. This curriculum is built to include all stu¬ dents whether they plan to attend college or to enter the business field. Evelyn P. Heatherly, B. S.

High Point College Physical Education Head Basketball Coach Monogram Club Adviser To provide the best program of physical education pos¬ sible is the main purpose of our Physical Education Depart¬ ment. At Central, we believe that physical education is more than exercise, athletic competition, a muscle builder, or aimless and frivolous play. It has health knowledge to impart to students, group experiences to offer, the joy of effort and achievement to give, and the responsibility to teach skills and provide experiences in carry-over activities for worthy use of leisure time in future life. Girls in P. E. II enjoy a game of volley ball. Driver Education Development of wholesome attitudes and respect for other highway users, pedestrians as well as drivers and their pas¬ sengers, and right understanding and attitude toward traffic regulations and those responsible for enforcing them are two very important goals of the driver education program. The course consists of thirty hours of skull practice in the classroom and of six hours of actual driving experience in a dual-control automobile and under the supervision of a trained teacher. This is a popular course among the students because upon its completion and the arrival of their sixteenth birthday, they become eligible to apply for a North Carolina driver ' s license.

Emphasis in home economics education at Surry Central isbased on three long-range objectives. The foremost of these objectives is to contribute to the education of the individual for home and family life. Women spend all of their years in some kind of experience related to the home. The second ob j e c t i v e is to prepare our students for employment in occupations requiring home economics skills and knowledge. It is predicted that women will spend 25 years of their lives at work outside the home. The subject matter learned in home economics classes is related to many areas of employment. A third objective is to recruit college-bound students for professional careers in the home economics field. Dress de¬ signer, food editor, teacher, interior decorator, management consultant, researcher, and dietician are only a few of the careers waiting. Third year home economics students become efficient in homemaking skills. Nellie W. Hill, B. S. University of North Carolina Greensboro Home Economics Family Relations FHA Adviser Carole S.

The Chorus begins its class period with warm-up exer¬ cises. The students learn that relaxation is the basis of good singing. Each student has the opportunity to learn how to read music by singing the different parts of a song. This year the chorus members have been learning songs from the Broadway shows South Pacific and The Sound of Music. They have studied various other types of music and have used all types in programs throughout the community. Gene Wagoner, B. M. University of North Carolina Chapel Hill; Salem Band, Chorus Mr. Wagoner puts chorus through a practice session. 23 Efficient workers perform Departmental personnel at our school is very efficient. Serving as secretaries, instructional co-ordinators, cafeteria workers and student assistants, these people perform an ex¬ cellent service for our school.

The Surry Central Chapter of the National Honor Society has twenty-two members this year, fifteen seniors and seven juniors, chosen by a faculty committee on the basis of char¬ acter, scholarship, leadership, and service. Membership in the Chapter is more than an honor; it carries with it a respon¬ sibility. Students must continue to demonstrate the qualities which brought about their selection, and they must also exert an influence to promote these qualities in other students. The members hold monthly meetings and engage in numerous activities. In the fall they gave a tea in honor of the new faculty members. During the year, they have spon¬ sored a bake sale and the sale of note cards bearing a pen and ink sketch of Surry Central. Proceeds from these sales will help provide their yearly gift to the Central Fund for the construction of the school seal. A happy customer purchases a cake at the NHS Bake Sale.

The Future Teachers of America grew out of the Horace Mann Centennial in 1937 and is a project of the N E A and its affiliated state and local education associations. The Surry Central FTA provides an opportunity for its members to take a realistic look at teaching, to study and identify the qualities, traits, and aptitudes which good teachers possess, and to explore their own interests, abilities, and skills so they can be sure that their decision to teach, or not to teach, is the right one. It also gives students the opportunity to study and visit colleges so that they may select wisely the school which will influence their career and life. Betty Mosley gets practice in teaching sophomores. OFFICERS: Dennis Bowlin, President; Vicki Draughn, Vice-President; Betty Mosley, Secretary; Jerrie Snow, Treasurer. FTA: Dennis Bowlin, Mrs..

These boys had more desire, determination and intes¬ tinal fortitude than any other team I have ever seen anywhere. They never quit. They gave us one hundred per cent effort on the practice field and on the playing field. A lot of the credit must go to our seniors: Edward Jones, Early Coe, Eddie Johnson, Ellis Hutchens, Roger L. Norman, Jim Wilmoth, Bob White, and Eugene Laws. Their leadership, sacrifice, attitude and will to win were a big factor in our success this year. Each one of these boys-along with the entire squad-was outstanding all year. We will surely miss the seniors from this squad, but next year we will have twelve boys with the same qualifications. With these boys and our returning lettermen,we will be con¬ tenders for the conference Championship again in 1966.

East Surry: The victory of Surry Central over East Surry was the clincher of the Foothills Conference. This was the first time that Surry Central had beaten East Surry in football in the history of the two schools. This was one of the best de¬ fensive games of the year. Ellis Hutchens, Jim Wilmoth, Roger L. Norman, Edward Jones, and Don Beane were out¬ standing in the defensive line-up. Team effort and a will to win pulled out the victory in this game. There was a great turnout even though the game was played on East Surry ' s field—and the fans went wild. Northeast Guilford: You can send the films of this one toHollywood because Surry Central ' s football team must have borrowed its script from that glam- orous land forFriday night ' s encounter with Northeast Guilford —so ran the account of this game in a local newspaper. This was the semifinal in the Regional playoffs. No one boy could be singled out for honors. The offensive line made holes all night for the backs, and the defensive line kept the pressure on the Ram offensive most of the night. The final score was 21-20 in Surry Central ' s favor. Don Beane picks up valuable yardage on winning touch¬ down drive against Yadkin- ville.

North Davidson: The game between Surry Central and North Davidson was the final in the 2 - A Regional 4 champion¬ ship. It takes more than blocking, tackling, and running to win football games. You have to have heart, too, and Surry Central did in whipping North Davidson 13-7 for the state 2-A Regional 4 championship. Bob White played an out¬ standing game, but it took the whole team to pull out the victory. In this game, we had the best team effort of the year and our boys proved themselves true champions.

The Dobson Jaycees help with the selling of con¬ cessions at ballgames. The new football scoreboard was donated by the Jaycees and the Boosters ' Club. The Surry Central athletic program has been fortunate in having the support of the Dobson Jaycees and the Boosters ' Club. The Jaycees have been in charge of concessions at football games. Last year they began as an annual project the sponsoring of a local high school junior to attend Boys ' State. The Boosters ' Club sponsors an annual Football Ban¬ quet. Last year they purchased a basketball rebounding ma¬ chine for the gym. The Jaycees and Boosters ' Club joined forces in purchasing a $2000 football scoreboard fully in¬ stalled. jVlINUTES HOME seconds ' : visitorI TOGO BQTR DONATED BY THE DOBSON , JAYCEES AND BOOSTERS SOfe ' and Mr. Ray Hagwood spearhead the Boosters ' Club in sponsoring the 1965 Surry Central Whips 4-A Jim Wilmoth prepares to shoot in a victorious game over Yadkinville.

The score of the first game was 59 - 58; the second, 65 - 60. B. McKinney, S. Simmons, J. Wilmoth, G. Collins, and T. Woodruff were the starters for the first game. Surry Central had a height advantage, and this helped bring out the victory With 29 rebounds for Central to Jonesville ' s 22 rebounds. The Blue Jays came to the second meeting with revenge on their minds. Surry Central ' s Golden Eagles put down these thoughts and really showed which team could come out on top when the going got rough.

SURRY CENTRAL WHIPS 4-A PARKLAND Our 2-A Eagles stepped into Class 4-A competition twice this year to whip the tougher opponent, Parkland. The final score in the second game was 64 - 59 in favor of the Eagles. The Eagles got off to a good start by winning the open¬ ing toss. At the end of the first quarter the score was 13-8. Then Parkland came back to tie the game at half time. After see-saw play the Eagles went ahead and continued their lead until the end of the game. The scoring went like this: J. Wilmoth 28, T. Woodruff 13, B. McKinney 8, B. White, 2, S. Simmons 5, D. Coe 4, and V. Hamlin 4. Parkland shot 47 per cent from the floor while the Golden Eagles hit 51 per cent.

BASKETBALL East Surry: The second game between the Eagles and the Rebels bore no resemblance to the first contest between these two rivals. Although the Eagleslost the firstgame by a narrow margin, they showed no signs of defeat in the second meeting—when they downed the Rebels by a decisive margin of 66 - 48. In the second game between these county rivals, the Eagles had all the hustle they needed and some to spare. Tom Woodruff led the scoring with 22 points, and Bob White totaled 14 points. The Rebels were never ahead. The Eagles played an outstanding game both offensively and defensively. This game was one of a number of firsts for the Eagles this year.

Under the leadership of the pitchers Ronnie Phillips and Charles Thompson, the baseball team had the record of 9 wins and 7 losses last season. Although their record could have been better, the team won over East Surry for the first time in the history of the school. Eight lettermen are re¬ turning this year, and the boys are expecting a fine season. Two of the outstanding boys on our baseball team are Don Coe and Van Hamlin. Don is a senior, and he has played all four of his high school years.He plays outfield, hits well, and is speedy. According to the coach, Don is really college material, as are other Central athletes. Van is a junior and has played baseball since his freshman year. He plays the position of first baseman. Van has a great eye for the ball; he hits well and is a very classy fielder. Van Hamlin Charles Thompson Ronnie Thompson Golf becomes popular. The Surry Central golf team had a record of five wins, eight .losses, and one tie last year. The golf team competed with North Surry, Boonville, Jonesville, Elkin, Mount Airy , and Ashe Central. They were runner-up to Elkin in the Surry-Yadkin Invita¬ tional Golf Tournament, held at Cedar Brook in Elkin. They had won this tournament the year before. The Golf team is looking for a much brighter season be¬ cause of the number of returning lettermen. They are Sammy Simmons, Steve Bowman, Ronnie Wilmoth, Jim Wilmoth, and Gary Collins.

We have had a lot of interest in our track program this year. Track meets are very interesting and exciting to watch, since e ach individual must compete against the clock and his own strength. We had a good record with five meets won and only one lost. Since we lost only five boys from our track team, we should have a really strong team in 1966. The following boys were outstanding performers in 1965: Gary Moore, Jimmy Ring, Ronnie Phillips, Buster Slawter, Don Beane, Charles Collins, Van Hamlin, Brent Riddle, Brent McKinney, Amos Freeman, Grover Cropps, Stanford Williams, Bob White, Rex Bull in, Jimmy Shores, Samuel Freeman, Bill Carter, Randy Johnson, Edward Jones, Roger L.
