Participants listed school activities, wrote a three-hundred word theme, and submitted character references. At a banquet held on January 29, 1969, the Elks announced the winners. Pat White was one of the lucky recipients of a fifty-dollar United States Savings Bond. Brenda Sue Atkins has earned the right to wear the Homemaker of Tomorrow Charm by rating highest in the school on a fifty-minute written knowledge and attitude test on homemaking. Brenda’s paper has been entered in competition for state and national honors. Sandy Marion, freshman at Surry Central, received the title of “Surry County March of Dimes Queen” at the first annual dance, held in the National Guard Armory in Mount Airy on Lebruary 8, 1969. The God and Country Scouting award was presented to Ricky Bledsoe by his church pastor on February 2, 1969. This award goes to the Boy Scout who has com¬ pleted a year of specific study and training. The year’s work consists of Bible study, active participation in church and community-related projects, and leadership activities within the church. To receive this award is a coveted honor for a Scout. Entering into competition with other Piedmont Youth, Steve Sprinkle won the scholarship offered by the Piedmont District Christian Youth Fellow¬ ship to attend the 9th annual United Nations Seminar. This Seminar is an in-depth study of international relations and the role of the church in today’s world. Sponsored by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), this year’s seminar will be held at the U. N. Building in New York City and in Washington, D. C. 20 Three beautiful queens represent Central.

County and school officials contribute time and counsel to our educational program. Teachers, in addition to their classroom responsibilities, sponsor extra-curricular activities. We, the students, are indebted to the administration as a whole for their guidance and interest in youth. Principal and office staff are the nucleus of Central . Our school would not be the excellent school it is without the dedicated and constant effort of our principal, Mr. Lanier. We wish to express to him our gratitude for his unflagging interest in every student and in every aspect of our school life. We appreciate, too, the daily help given by our efficient secretary and bookkeeper, Mrs. White, and by the educational secretary, Mrs. Brown, and the student office assistants. R. O.

Gentry Superintendent Our superintendent, Mr. Gentry, confers, works, and plans with all school personnel in the county to achieve the best methods of instruction, school organization, and school government. The associate superintendent, Dr. Richards, is the right arm of the superin¬ tendent in the coordination of the entire in¬ structional program in the school system. Mrs. Hine takes an active interest in schools, in stu¬ dents, and in their educational opportunities. Dr. Swanson Richards Associate Superintendent Mrs. W. L.

The study of English, therefore, will continue to serve him as a basis for further education and for a deeper understanding and appreciation of life. Clara G. Strickland English 1 P.

Wayne Nance English III 31 Francois A French classes at Surry Central this year have profited from work in the new language lab, a practice room equipped with electronic and mechanical recording-playback devices. Each student, by means of headsets, carries on “private” conversations with the native voices on the tape from the master console. The teacher monitors each student and offers individual help in pronunciation. Although the laboratory is designed primarily to strengthen aural- oral proficiency, an important by-product has been the improvement in reading, vocabulary, and grammar. Evelyn B. Holyfield French II, III English IV Composition Mary F. Hodges French I, II English III Mafhemafics Mathematics, a basic tool of mankind, is important at Surry Central. Students may follow a progressive math course. The math teachers strive to meet needs of both general curricular and college parallel students. The math department is continually searching for new ideas in teaching and urging the students to develop outside interests relating to mathematics. Garnett D. Cox General Math Business Law Basic Business Becky A. Hinkle Algebra I Algebra II Anne B. Patterson Geometry Advanced Math Physics 33 Science Developing scientific literacy is the main objective of the science program at Surry Central. The modern science courses-physical science, biology, chemistry, physics, and advanced biology-take stu¬ dents back two or more billion years, through the many eras of physical, chemical, and biological changes and forward again to the present-day Space Age. These courses are designed for students to get an understanding of the simple basic laws which apply to a living organism and to the physical environment of this organism. Clara S. Freeman Biology Oma S. Norman General Science Chris C. Crusenberry Chemistry General Science Algebra II 34 Social Studies The objectives for students in the Social Studies Department are to acquire knowledge, develop values, attitudes and skills, and to form concepts within the framework of the social discipline. These concepts emphasize the importance of our cultural heritage and value system, with special emphasis given to the citizen’s role in all levels of govern¬ ment and to the interrelationships among our political, social, and eco¬ nomic systems in a republican form of government. Students explore the world of the twentieth century and become aware of the challenge of our nation’s future problems and responsi¬ bilities as we move toward a world culture. W.

The Central F HA, affiliated with the state and national organi¬ zations, holds regular monthly meetings, which are planned to further enrich the home economics program. 37 Business Education Employment opportunities for the properly trained, capable sec¬ retary have never been so abundant as they are today; and the future is equally promising. With increasing use of automation and mechanization in business, the role of the secretary is becoming greater in scope and importance. Because of the highly individual nature of secretarial duties and respon¬ sibilities, those who enter this field can, more than ever, look forward to occupying key positions in the organizational framework. Office occupations classes prepare students to assume this role. Ann G. Pack Bookkeeping Preparatory Office Occupations Bessie R. Matthews Typing I General Math Louise M.

The program, which stresses indi¬ vidualized instruction, includes classes in English, mathematics, and the sciences. Steven M. Joyce Physical Education At Central, physical education is directed toward purposeful activities. Desirable traits and skills, wholesome interests, attitudes, and appreciations are developed through a variety of learning experiences. The activities included here are tag football, weight-lifting, volleyball, badminton, basketball, tumbling, softball, and track. Our program of physical education at Central is planned and con¬ ducted for the purpose of helping each individual achieve physical fit¬ ness within the limits of his potentialities and contribute his share to the welfare of society.

Students who are to become bus drivers receive valuable instructions and assistance from Mr. Hatcher, driver education representative, before and after assuming the responsibility of transporting Central’s seven hundred students to and from school. Drivers receive constant help from Mr. Blackwelder, transportation supervisor, in the care and main¬ tenance of their buses. Bus Drivers Mr. Blackwelder and Mr. Hatcher 43 Dreams of 44 Leadership The true leader “leads”; he doesn’t “command.” His actions, is character, and his outlook on life must be above reproach, r the leader stands alone. Above all, he must dream, for the sions of leaders are the accomplishments of tomorrow. The organization which is one of the strongest and most effective at Central is the Student Council. Its primary purpose is to serve the student body. It promotes general welfare of the students and en¬ courages its members to participate in various school activities. One of its high goals is to increase cooperation between faculty and students. Central activities flourish The student government sponsors many of the social functions of the school, such as Homecoming and Twirp Week activities. Service projects include assisting at Open House, the March of Dimes campaign, and helping to maintain the cleanliness and beautification of the physical plant and grounds.

Coach Helton will have fourteen lettermen returning next year, and, for the first time in three years, the team will be composed primarily of juniors and seniors. The team worked hard and proved that it could BE A WINNER. Central’s Football Team 71 Basketball team faces strong opposition. Coach Williard has built the Golden Eagles’ offense around 6 ' 3 Dennis Jenkins. The success of the 1968-69 Golden Eagles team can be attributed to the desire, determination, and pride which each individual has taken in himself this year. Practice sessions in basketball, as those in any other sport, are hard work. Many hours of mental and physical strain are put into these daily sessions. Athletes are truly unusual people. They are often criticized and even sometimes ridiculed and humiliated, but they never give up. Norman Marion and Brent Church, managers, work hard to keep high the spirit of the teams.

Mrs. Fox White, Owner W EH tVETHt greater SAVINGS 144 The arrival of mail was quite an event in the rural South of the ’Seventies . .. and a specially happy one when a package bore the Chatham label. In those days, folks sent their own wool to the Chatham mill to be woven into cloth and made up per instructions. So, when a delivery came from Elkin, North Carolina, there was no end to the general excitement. Out of the package came Johnny’s new britches—fine, finished jeans from Mr. Chatham’s mill—and often, too, a blanket and knitting yarn for Mother and a buggy robe for Dad. The day Johnny got his britches Producers of Blankets, Women’s Wear Fabrics, Today things are somewhat different. Chatham is now one of America’s great mills, producing many textile products from a multitude of different fibers. We use ultra-sophisticated machinery including the famous Fiberwoven process that seems destined to produce a whole new range of textile products. One thing has not changed, however. Chatham is still a family business, managed by the fourth generation of Chatham sons. And family pride is a very good guarantee of quality.
