SAL’ CUAL p bib ey 7; Ce Ye = Chre 1968 THE IMPERSONATOR VALDESE HIGH SCHOOL BURKE COUNTYaldese, North Carolina PUBLIC LIBRARY Dedication Staff Honors Mrs. Buchanan MRS. SALLIE BUCHANAN Being the person that she is, Mrs. Sallie Buchanan, congenial guidance counselor and mathematics teacher of Valdese High School, inspires in each student the desire for better relationships as an individual and a more thoughtful and realistic awareness of his destin- ation. As the student gazes into dreams of unknown tomorrows, she helps utilize his dreams, yet mold them into reality in the light of the student’s abilities and his understanding of himself. Friendliness, devotion, and a warm _ personality are only three of her many qualities. She greets appre- hensive freshmen with a warm flashing smile; lends a helping hand to more adjusted yet indeterminate sophomores; always listens to the junior’s problems - - both academic and personal; and aids the seniors in making decisions about their future. In short, she shows genuine concern for each and every one who passes through her door. For her diversity in assistance to the students, the annual staff dedicates the 1968 edition of the IM- PERSONATOR to Mrs. Sallie Buchanan. Contents Introduction .....

The 1968 Impersonator Staff Presents A Sandburg Tribute ? “Laughing the stormy, husky, brawling laughter of youth... .. “Tf I had more time | I could do more for myself and maybe for others. I could read and study and talk things over and find out about things. It takes time. a I wish I had the time.” Carl Sandburg “These are the daily program items.”’ “The fog comes on little cat feet.” Anyone who ever knew Carl Sandburg or ever read his works knows that he offered memories. Through his poems he revealed humorously, sadly eloquently the “ashes” of his past, of his Swedish ancestry. A native of Illinois, he adopted North Carolina as his home; and North Carolinians and Sandburg developed a mutual love and admiration. We feel a particular closeness to him, the poet of the people. Power and vitality in his poems offer some- thing for everyone - - all people everywhere. In their universal aspect they were directed toward the youth of America, as in his great work “The People, Yes.”” We can identify with his philosophy, his view of life. He would have seen students as searchers, leaders, bursting with vitality and the dream of tomorrow. Sandburg wrote of America and her people in the manner of Walt Whitman, whom he greatly admired - - a natural, realistic, down-to-earth style that appeals to youth. From his realistic, powerful poems, such as “Chicago,” to his tender, delicately lovely “Fog,” he wrote truthfully and with a sensitive insight that opened all eyes to both bad and good in the world. Thus, an aching void has been formed by his recent death in July 21, 1967. A man such as Sandburg should have lived forever. But indeed he does live on in the things he wrote so that he will continue to give inspiration to our generation and the next as he did to his own. For these reasons the IMPERSONATOR staff pays tribute to Sandburg even as he often paid tri- bute to the youth of America in his works. We look at VHS through the eyes of the poet and find new meaning there.

Student assemblies enable the students to exhibit their speaking abilities and origin- ality in planning. Pep rallies and intramural games encourage student involvement in the spirit of athletic events. Trips widen the personal scope; elections, the citizen’s scope of individuals. eee Carl Sandburg realized the value of the daily rituals; their seeming unimportance veils their basic quality. Everyday values of the blood-mind establish the foundation for excellence and quality, the hint of great- ness. Fall Fall Brings NHS Initiation Harriet Setzer encounters “Toothie” the clown during her lunch break Freshmen are welcomed in the fall by the French Club. downtown. to friend Rick Davis the advantages of club membership. Juniors take the Preliminary Aptitude Test in October in preparation for the SAT they will take as seniors. NHS initiation in September gave high ranking ience to remember. New members - Sandy Abee, mon - are being supervised by their “superior,” Louis Guigou is pointing out juniors and seniors an exper- Tommy Shook, and Gary Gar- Chuck Barnhardt. School began in the fall with a sparkle of excitement as the VHS boys in football uniforms dashed upon the field. The team playing their best at each game, Homecoming in October was the climax of the season. Adding both warmth and beauty to the stadium, the nomi- nees for Homecoming queen paraded upon the field. In the sus- pense of the moment, a hush fell over the crowd as the girls were announced. The final moment had arrived! Chosen by the stu- dent body, Peggy Haller was proclaimed queen. Rosie Aber- nathy and Delayne Wallace were Maids of Honor. Other exciting events of the fall season were initiations, held by such clubs as the National Honor Society. Costumed recruits paraded down the halls performing stunts and “good deeds,” much to their dismay and others’ delight. It was the rush season for club joining of all kinds, with the year’s activities getting swiftly underway. For seniors, fall meant the beginning of the end and being awarded such long-awaited privileges as being allowed to eat off campus. For juniors, it meant beginning their preparations for college by taking the PSAT and attending College Day. For teach- ers it meant back to lesson plans and paper grading and supervis- ing all these bustling activities. Fall at VHS is indeed a hectic, but very wonderful time. In October thirteen girls were presented to the student body as the Homecoming Court. 9 Winter Freshman Initiated Late November With the arrival of basketball, freshman initiation, and the Christmas dance, VHS students knew winter was here. Thrilling, tension-filled basketball games were the main attractions of the season, and the gymnasium was a busy place with practice sessions every day and ex- citing games Tuesday and Friday nights. Cheerleaders were also a part of the scene, yelling enthusiastically for VHS. Another exciting event of the winter season was Initiation Day for freshmen. Making the innocent and unsuspecting green horns carry books, sit on water fountains and radiators, sing ridiculous songs, bow, and go through various other rituals of initiation, the seniors enjoyed every minute of their revenge. Fresh- men refused to say how much they enjoyed the day, but got back at the seniors a bit in their special Initia- tion Day assembly.

Excitement mounted as Christmas drew near bring- ing parades and the annual Student Council sponsored dance. Christmas Dance activities began with the nomina- tion of candidates in homerooms. Excitement and sus- pense filled the air. Searching through every store, the selec ted girls running for Christmas Queen tried hard to find just the right dress. Finally, the great moment arrived! The VHS Christmas Queen was - - Gail Winebarger. Applause filled the air as an aston- ished Gail groped her way to the platform to receive her crown. Student Council members worked hard to make the dance a success, encouraging students to buy tickets and planning entertainment and decorations. The Venturas provided the music for the dance, livening up the American Legion hut with the sound of jazz and rock and roll. All in all the dance was a huge suc- cess. Winter time meant testing time, too. For seniors it meant taking the SAT, December 2. For everyone there were semester exams in January. And, of course, there was snow, meaning a surprise holiday for students and teachers - - all part of the iti wintertime game at VHS. | ye oe Sponsored by the Student Council, the Christmas Dance is eagerly anticipated. 11 Spring Graduation Anticipated by Seniors Birds are singing, flowers are blooming, and spring is here at Valdese High School. Scattered among the campus of VHS, students can be seen lounging around the front lawn. Although spring is for everyone at VHS, it is mainly a time for seniors. Preparing for grad- uation and their future careers, receiving their class rings, and going to Junior-Senior Prom highlight the year for the seniors. Valdese High School rings this As spring approaches, so does the time of departure from VHS for seniors. 12 year were, as always, black with an emblem of a crest embedded in it.

Jr. Senior waiters and waitresses were chosen during the dance. Dressing to suit the theme, they pro- vided an effective decoration. The Tactics, the band playing, provided an enjoyable evening with popular teen-age dances. As the school year ended, everyone was busy cram- ming for final exams and looking forward to the sum- mer, swimming, and all the other things that go with vacation time. Gary Dillingham, Benny Rhoney, and Brian Zimmerman create moments of fun in an assembly program to solicit votes for Renee Rostan for Secretary of the Student Council. Juniors attend Career Day in Drexel to delve into the future possibilities of work or college. because of their academic accomplishments. Spring is a time for chatting and enjoying the fresh air out under the trees between classes, as are Elizabeth Link and Mike Cloer. ip ILE N SS : | i Chosen by the American Legion, Rosie Abernathy, Wanda Barrett, Jimmy Page, and Chuck Barnh ardt attended Girls’ and Boys’ State in June to study government. Football practice begins in mid-August. During the summer many students worked to pre- pare for the coming school year. Student Council members, for example, held workshops during which posters were drawn to make VHS halls welcoming; students were assigned to guide bewildered freshmen; and committees were appointed to cope with student problems. In June the American Legion sent. Jimmy Page and Chuck Barnhardt to Boys’ State at Wake Forest, and the American Legion Auxilliary sent Rosie Abernathy and Wanda Barrett to Girls’ State at UNC-G. There they learned about state governments; held mock city, state, and town government meetings; and gained valuable information to bring back to school. August 15 found the football team hard at work. From 9 till 11 A.M. and from 4 to 6 P.M. the squad exercised, viewed films, held scrimmages, and scanned the plays they intended to use for the coming season. Also during August, VHS cheerleaders attended sum- mer camp to learn new cheering techniques; and in the same month the annual staff was out selling ads to Valdese merchants. For many, summer months meant sleeping late and enjoying a long awaited vacation, but much was accomplished during these months by dedicated stu- dents and teachers willing to work overtime to im- prove their school. in Summer tatty enews Students begin the year by cleaning last year’s junk out of their lockers.

E. e Business Education e Home Economics e Industrial Training _¢ Employees “I’m amazed from day to day that I am ambulant and in my right mind.” Under the pressures of academic life, stu- dents sometimes wonder about the state of their minds and the quality of their work. Always urged to upgrade their standards, students strive to achieve their ultimate goal - - perfection. Sandburg believed ‘‘school is for dis- cipline . . . Discipline. Tightness. Firmness. Crispness. Sternness. And sternness in our lives. Life is tons of discipline. Your first discipline is your vocabulary; then your grammar and your punctuation, you see. Then, in your exuberance and bounding en- ergy you say you're going to add to that. Then you add rhyme and meter. And your delight is in that power.” Sandburg had great feeling for and sym- pathy for the student, for he was himself a scholar. His greatest claim to fame_was, _ in fact, an extensive research project in U.S. History. His vast volumed biography of Abraham Lincoln made him known the world over as the greatest authority on Lincoln. He knew the agonies and frustrations of study - - and its rewards. And he saw school as a training ground for life. School is not just trying to teach us facts and maxims. It is training us to live: for if we master the art of scholarship, we master the art of living. Mr. Wilson, principal, and Mr. Byers, assistant principal, work out the class routines. Administration Strives to Retain High Ideals Principal G. D. Wilson and assistant Richard Byers efficiently directed the students through another successful year. Showing concern for each individual, they offered guidance, understanding, and leadership to both faculty and students. Keeping records, making reports, advising on school activities, and arranging sched- ules were only several of their burdensome tasks. VHS having achieved accreditation last spring, the administra- tion sought to carry through the requirements set by the Southern Association. High standards, which are necessary to retain ac- creditation, became the major objective of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Byers. They were aware of the many improvements to be made, and worked hard to achieve such goals as keeping teacher loads as evenly balanced as possible, arranging the schedule so that teachers could work in their specialized fields, providing for new courses such as business mathematics, modern mathematics, and office occupations to broaden and enrich the school’s curriculum offerings - - not easy tasks to achieve in the crowded facilities at VHS. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Byers have proved themselves able leaders and are respected by students who realize that set principles are for the betterment of the entire student body. 18 Imogene Traylor, school secretary, and Pat Cline, an office assistant, work hard at dif- ferent office problems. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Sam Brinkley listen attentively to a speaker at the faculty dinner. Faculty members enjoy themselves at a Christmas banquet held in their honor. Mr. John L.

Freshmen are introduced to literature and the fundamental pro- cedure of writing well-developed sentences. Projects for the year included skits, book reports, bulletin boards (which are always outstanding), and various kinds of art work. Mrs. Betty Nisbet teaches sophomores how to ap- preciate and understand literature. They grow to rea- lize that English is more than grammar and diagram- ming. Once again sophomores were introduced to JULIUS CAESAR and fell in love with Eppie and Silas Marner, George Eliot’s famed characters. This year Mrs. Nisbet also had one class of seniors, whom she endeavored to shape for college and the future. English poetry, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, and TOM JONES were studied by Mrs. Sarah Jacob’s senior class. She helps her students get pleasure out of litera- ture and teaches them how to appreciate it as well. Her junior students gave creative skits to enliven their classes. The most unusual projects undertaken by Mrs. Jacob’s classes this year, however, were presenting scenes from PYGMALION and learning how the British have fun with rugby. Mrs. Nesbit explains part of an English lesson to Elaine Phillips, who was absent during one class. Mrs. Nesbit’s senior English class takes a break during class to exchange gifts the day before Christmas vacation begins. 20 Mrs. Myra Braswell AB Greensboro College English I PON C. McGuire, B.

Olympus FE ee OF ON PFE RH EL EOE FROM GUTTERS} “Seven o’clock “earth time” was the hour and Mt. Olympus” (the primary cafeteria) the place for the mythological orgy held by the advanced English classes January 6. Fol- lowing an extensive study of mythology and Greek drama, an Olympian banquet and a drama festival seemed a fitting climax. Each student came costumed as a favorite mytho- logical character, and twelve Olympians were chosen to sit at the table of honor. During the banquet entertainment was furnished by such characters as Orpheus, Pandora, the Sirens, Pan, Iris; and the Olympians themselves joined with assorted mor- tals to present a wacky version of the Trojan War. Hilarious! For the drama festival each of the four advanced English classes presented a scene from a Greek play, and prizes were awarded for best actress, actor, director, and produc- tion. Also a part of their study of drama, the classes made several field trips. At Thomas Wolf Theater in Asheville they saw She Stoops to Conquer and J. B. and experienced, for the first time, “theater-in-the-round.” They also traveled to Charlotte and Hickory to see such films as Gone With the Wind and Camelot. Reigning over the class banquet, the Olympian twelve added much color and fun. Leila Benfield, portraying Medea at the advanced English classes’ banquet, won a drama award - best actress. 22 Mrs. Maxine McCall BS, MA ASTC Advanced English II, II, [V Mrs. McCall explains to her classes the development of drama from Sophocles to Shakespeare to Shaw.

French; Music eab CnC Bea Chorus Gives Concerts French and Music departments felt the influence of new teachers. In the music field Mr. Carter devoted much time, talent, and energy to direct the band and chorus in some of the finest concerts they have ever giv- en. Under his leadership both groups grew in size and power and delivered performances beyond their own expectations. Students have learned much from him about music appreciation and have had fun in the process. Mrs. Judy Lane, VHS French teacher, missed one semester of school because of injuries received in an automobile accident. Classes were car- ried on in her absence by Mrs. Carol Rostan, whose enthusiasm for the subject kept the instruction on a high level. Under her leadership the classes visited the beautiful cities of France through film and song on their “French Fridays,” and French I students prepared projects to show what they had learned about the country. Students enjoyed Mrs. Rostan’s stay, but were at the same time thrilled to have Mrs. Lane recovered and back on the job in January. Rev. Robert Carter, willing to take time out for any student, has been an able band director. eer ere se tal Taking on the many responsibilities left to her as our new French Mrs. Lane, who was absent during the first half of the teacher, Mrs. Rostan accomplished much. year, returned to further her French students in the French culture and language. 24 ith Lane Mrs. Jud AB Meredith College French I, U, Hl, 1V iversity iversity : Ss 2 o a a Q Q ea gab) By tent 23 80 Ons Be Sus a4) sis a0 Mee == aa) R.

In modern math rumor has it that two and two equal five at times, and the freshmen try to ac- ceptit: The greatest change has appeared between Algebra I and Algebra Il, where geometry now takes its stand. Algebra I has returned this year more advanced and more difficult. Mrs. Whisenant says it is almost equal to the first half of the advanced math course. Advanced math students studied advanced algebra, trigonometry and quadratic graphs and worked with projects concerning probability and statistics in the spring. Mathematics, be it general or advanced, is an art. Accepting this art in a new system, VHS students proved it successful. Mr. Murray explains the fundamental procedures of modern math to his students. Mrs. Whisenant goes over some of the geometry prob- lems given to her by several of her students. AANGNSASAEES Re ..

Projects and research papers were required of every student. Trips to Bell Telephone Company and to the Carbon Plant helped the students gain insight into the field of communications and the many uses of carbon.

Guiding the students also were Mrs. Reitzel and the library assistants. They were constantly eager to help students broaden their knowledge through books. Mrs. Reitzel Devoting much time to the library, Mrs. Reitzel has greatly improved and expanded it. She is indeed a credit to VHS. displayed her creative talents through beauti- ful bulletin boards and book displays. New shelves were added to house the many new books that have been acquired. 33 Home Ec., Shop Child Care Studied in Home Economics Home Economics and industrial arts are two of the vocational courses at VHS. Both are popular student electives, largely because they combine pleasure and practicality. This year the home economics department wel- comed a new teacher, Mrs. Betty Hammond. Along with learning and mastering the skills of sewing, cook- ing, and housekeeping, the home economic girls held a fashion show, did a project in interior decorating, and worked for a week as teacher aids in the primary school when they were studying a unit on child care. From Mrs. Hammond the home economics students learned much about the techniques of making a happy home. Mr. Benny Cozort’s industrial arts course also featured practical application of the concepts of crafts- manship and order. The boys gained experience work- ing in shop, where they learned the feel of the ma- chines and took a look from the inside at what their lives might hold in the future. And this year found more and more girls venturing into mechanical drawing. Last year’s class boasted only one girl; this year several young ladies were keep- ing up with the boys in this interesting course. David Harris, in Mechanical Drawing class, works carefully at his drawing board. Shelia Blevins and Sandy Abernathy display their skills with the chil- dren at the primary building. Tony Chapman works diligently in shop to mark the cutting spots which will form a table.

Stroud Added to Business Staff Added to the business world of VHS this year were two new courses - office occupations and business mathematics. Business math, taught by Mrs. Bounous, emphasizes the importance of math in business. Covering a two-hour block, office occupations aids future business leaders to prepare for their careers. Led by Mrs. Pennell, the class consists of sixteen mem- bers who gain valuable experience by working with such newly added machines as the dictaphone, the printing calculator, the electric typewriter, and the adding machine. Also included in this course are two old courses, Shorthand II and Typing II. Other classes that rounded out the business de- partment curriculum this year were Shorthand I, and Typing I, bookkeeping, and general business - the last two being taught by Mrs. Stroud, a new teacher at Students knowledge and experience in the in Mrs. Pennell’s Office Occupations class secretarial field. gain 36 T yping on electric machines is one of many new experiences for an office occupations student.

By studying various aspects of business in class, these students are able to gain an understand- ing of the business world and to prepare to take their places in it. Each student must find an oc- cupation for which he is suitable and work to be- come good at it. At intervals each student is ap- praised and his progress is noted by his employer. This procedure enables the student to discover his true potential in a vocation and whether it is suit- able as his life’s work. For those not planning to attend college these courses have added new promise. While being able to choose a career, they are also able to earn money to aid in their expenses. Without additional school- ing, they are able to look forward to a secure future in a vocation for which they are trained. Through study and job training the D.

This course teaches them sportsmanship as well as physical skills. The instructors, Miss Harriet Mor- rison and Mr. Gene Isenhower guided their “green” freshmen through a year filled with various sports and athletic events. 41 While the physical education program is building their bodies and competitive spirit, the health pro- gram acquaints them with basic knowledge of body anatomy and its functions. Besides giving the students a change during the day, the program teaches them to improve their bodies along with their minds. Employees New Janitor Rising early each morning, the bus drivers pre- pare to chauffeur energetic students on a hectic trip to the school. Real nerve is required but the drivers have proved themselves competent in dealing with the numerous fights and quarrels that occur. As the students make their way to the office during the day, they are greeted by the friendly and enthusiastic smile of Mrs. Emogene Taylor. Often she is found typing, taking dictation, or lending a helping hand to anyone who needs it. Keeping the principal’s office running smoothly has proved to be a full time job. an ee oe Early in the morning a bus unloading is not an unusual sight. This picture shows several of the students arriving at school. Bus drivers J. Hipps, S. Demiter, C. Abernathy, S. Brittain, and L. Williams are invaluable to school and ‘students. Added to Staff As lunch time draws near each day, the cafe- teria staff prepare for the onrush of hungry stu- dents. A new centralized system has helped them in providing better well-balanced meals. Another efficient group of employees is the janitorial staff. James Horn was added this year to help Johnny Berry in the cleaning up. To show appreciation for the countless papers and cups so patiently picked up, the student body presented them a Christmas gift. The able support of these employees has been realized and appreciated by everyone at V.H.S. During the Christmas assembly Johnny Berry and James Horn re- ceived gifts from the student body, letting them know they were greatly appreciated by all. Always there when the freshmen come rushing in the primary cafeteria with hungry faces, these ladies are a must.

Busy planning of activities by club presi- dents, constant supervision and suggestions by faculty sponsors, and mutual co-opera-. tion between organizations and the Student Council create harmony in school activities. Special committees strive to provide an in- teresting slate of events for the school year and utilize the individual abilities of stu- dents to do so. School is a busy place and our leaders come and go and often a leader emerges who is so good that we feel he can never be replaced. But he graduates, and before we know it another “strong one” has taken his place, and VHS marches on. Student Council yippee Heading the Student Council, the Executive Council works hard to plan interesting activities for scheduled meetings. Gy eo Inter-Club Council members coordinate club activities and body. Sponsors Mrs. Buchanan and Mr. Murray plan with Steve Demiter for Homecoming events. 46 Delegates Attend Kannapolis Conference Led by President Steve Demiter, the Student Council began its year in August with a workshop. Mrs. Buchanan and Mr. Murray were advisers and supervised all club projects. Publishing the Student Council handbook, broad- casting “Tiger Time,” and heading the activities of Homecoming were several of the projects sustained during the 1967-1968 school year.

Impersonator Staff Attends Conference Meeting at the funeral parlor from 5:30 till 12, writ- ing copy, cropping pictures, stumbling through the dark halls at school— what unforgettable experiences! Attending a Delmar workshop in the spring, the Impersonator staff learned the fundamentals of making a yearbook. Back at school, Mrs. McCall held further discussions on how a yearbook is created and thus opened the door of knowledge to annual staffers who were unaware of the mountainous task that lay ahead. Then the “fun” started— we brought on the No-Doz and Excedrin. Selling ads, deciding on the theme, dedi- cation, and the cover of the book were completed for the most part in the fall. Then came the picture-taking, photo cropping, and copy writing of which there seemed no end. Editor Rosie Abernathy was forever writing copy, and Business Manager Wanda Barrett was always ready to try anew money making project, such as selling I.D. cards or last year’s annual pictures. January brought the traditional rush to meet the deadline, January 15. Then off to the press and that long awaited occasion when the books return and all eyes around VHS focus on the 1968 Impersonator.

Carter, the band entertained at halftime with per- formances of music from well-known movies, such as “Georgy Girl” and “Doctor Zhivago.” VHS musi- cians also “‘strutted their stuff” in several parades dur- ing the year. They led the Homecoming and Miss Valdese parades and participated in several Christmas parades during the holiday season. Always out in front of the band were the sparkling, twirling, high-stepping majorettes and the color guard, carrying flags and rifles. Fire baton twirling was the majorettes’ specialty and added much to thrilling half- time shows.

Preparing for the world of the future, the FHA and FTA instill a sense of awareness for tomorrow in their members. Learning of possibilities in the teaching pro- fession, FTA members study modern techniques and skills. FHA members strive to acquaint themselves with the latest developments in homemaking. Composed of approximately fifty members, the FHA encourages boys and girls alike to learn about the arts of cooking, sewing, and child care. Some projects undertaken by the FHA this year were a combination hay ride and Halloween party in October, a group sing- ing at Spencer Hall at Christmas, and a Future Home- makers banquet at Raleigh in the spring. They also won a prize for the booth they entered in the Burke County Fair. Led by president Steve Kaylor, the FTA met with sponsor, Mrs. Braswell, the third Friday in each month to discuss new opportunities and developments in the field of teaching. Studying basic techniques of teach- ing, they learn the importance of individual instruction and concern for each student. Projects for the year in- cluded an assembly program, a “Tiger Time” program, a party, and an essay contest in which the clubs’ twen- ty-three wrote about their teaching ambitions.

Library Club members discuss problems of the library for the coming school year. French Float Wins First Prize Library club members worked diligently through- out the year to re-organize and check for accuracy the files and records in the library. But, as always, the members’ main concern was to help their fellow students. In late November the Library Club attended the Northwestern District meeting of the North Carolina High School Library Association held at Glen Alpine. Of the four major Association officers elected for the year, three were Valdese students: Bobby Seagle, vice-pres.; Debbie Pons, sec.; Dennis Buff, treas. In April the club attended the state meeting of the North Carolina High School Library Association. In order to gain a better understanding of the French language and culture, many students joined the French Club this year. During the Homecoming festiv- ities the French Club worked diligently and won first prize on their float. Following this project they de- cided to have a party for which the Satalites played. To brighten the halls of VHS the French Club made bulletin boards featuring the culture of the French people. In addition, they also showed school spirit by having several “Tiger Time” programs, which were carried off very well. Members of the French Club worked diligently on their French float this year and won first prize. Through their meetings this year the French Club has learned much about the French cultures and the French people. H. Setzer, treasurer; C. Stiff, reporter; D. Bollinger, secretary; G. Hoyle, President; and J. Weaver, Vice-President make up the officers of the French Club. Mrs. Reitzel, always willing to lend a helping hand to stu- dents, labels new books for the library.

Every day until that first game the Tigers were at work doing exercises and agility drills and going over and over plays on the black- board as well as on the practice field. Leading the team were the senior players: Rocky Carswell, tackle; Larry Buchanan, tackle and defensive guard; Charles Grill, guard and linebacker; and Jack Burns, left half back and defensive safety. Other out- standing players were Gary Ogle, quarterback; half back Donnie Shook; and full back Charles Wellman.

Five Seniors Return Rebounding proves to be tough at a pre-season scrimmage. As four senior lettermen returned to the line-up, the Tigers looked forward to a new season. Under a new coach, Mr. Greenwood, the boys practiced hard to im- prove their shooting, defense, offense, speed and re- bounding. Tough conditioning exercises, some of them new to the players, were effected to make sure our team could stand the pace in the games. Seniors returning to the line-up were Rudy Cannon, Robert Murray, Mike Cloer, and Steve Demiter. Doug Cannon, a sophomore, was the fifth letterman of the starting five. In the words of the coach, “I think we have a fairly good team this year, although we do have some faults. We hope to win a lot of games. To win we are going to have to play the games at our own tempo and play hard.” Play hard they did, and assured the fans of excite- ment at every game. 2a 8 Robert Murray shoots the foul-shot that wins the Wilkes- Central game. 70 M.

Valdese has always had an excellent girls bas- ketball team, and this year is no exception. The Tigerettes have thrilled spectators with their fine playing ability, and the tension in the games has been heightened by the close scoring of the girls and their opponents. It even looks as if the team will be a top contender for the North- western Conference championship; nonetheless, they will be right in there swinging. Five senior lettermen returned this year: Gale Rhoney, Sharon Young, Peggy Haller, Gail Hoyle, and Judy Gragg. Elaine Philips, a senior, joined the Tigerettes’ squad this year. Pushing hard for starting positions are Debra Hartman, Teresa Griffin, and Linda Sherrill, the. junior lettermen. Following them up are some fine sophomores: Brenda Christenbury, Debbie Low- man, Jo Anne Phillips, Jeanne Parise, Anita Garrison, and Donna Huneycutt. Although lacking in height, the team shows much team spirit in practice as well as on the playing court; and with all these good players to choose from, the Tigerettes have plenty of reserve strength to call upon.

Tigers Field Good Team Dennis Powell demonstrates the art of bunting. 2 % 77 Baseball is a sport of quick thinking and reflex, and the baseball team of VHS started in the spring working on those points. Coach Icenhower made sure that each player knew the essentials of good hitting by drilling in that area each day. After that, each player practiced his specialty: pitching, catch- ing, infielding, and outfielding. Thorough work- outs in these skills made sure that each player knew his position well. Since most of the leading players graduated last year, the Tigers had to start all over. However, the team had a number of strong players. Mike Cloer, pitcher, was also versatile as an in - or outfielder. On first was Doug Cannon, while Rob- ert Murray and Gary Ogle brought up first and second bases respectively. Completing the infield were Frank Grill at shortstop and Bryan Zimmer- man behind the plate. Outfielders of the team were Brian Feimster, Dennis Raines, and Dennis Powell, who also plays catcher. Looking into the future, there are some under- classmen who are looking good. The Tigers have some material to work on for the years ahead, and VHS will be right in there slugging. Track DSc wt RWG J. Weaver, and R. Thompson run the 100 yard dash. Mike Rhoney takes a hurdle in perfect form. a = RN — _ 78 Of all sports, track is probably the most strenuous and demanding. From the first sound of “runners, take your blocks” to bodies straining for the tape, one can feel the tension mounting from second to second. Prerequisites to participation in track are that each must train hard and following strict training rules. Hours and hours of training are a must to build up the stamina necessary for track’s strenuous events. Track events combine speed and endurance which quickens the pulse just to watch them. While, on the other hand, field events, such as pole vaulting, discus throwing, and high jumping give a thrill all their own. Coached by Lee Farmer and Jerry Murray, the boys looked forward to another good year of competition. Cold weather didn’t bother the track team during practice. Tough Conditions for Track Team Strict training rules, top physical condition, and competition mold the track team of VHS. 79 J.V. Basketball and Football FIRST ROW: L. Guigou, L. McGuire, D.

Junior Varsity Football Team Has VHS’s Junior Varsity football team was blessed with a wonderful defense and hard-hitting offense which accounts for its winning season this year. Directed and prodded by Coaches Greenwood and Co- zort, the J. V.’s tallied up a 5-3 season record. The unforgiving Tigers gave up only 3 very close games. The 6-3 loss to Marion was the most heartbreaking in that it was lost in the last 30 seconds of the game by ascore of 6-3. Here is how the team did this season: Leading the defense were the two hard-hitting ends, Terry Ward and Darryl Adams. Other members like linebacker Danny Willis and linemen Mike Tremer and Dwight Kelly helped to hold their opponents down to few TD’s. Defense is no good without a good offense, and that was one of Valdese’s strongest points. Handled by the quarterbacks Danny Carswell and Gerald Tripp- lett, the team did a magnificent job. The backfield, spearheaded by Lloyd Wehunt and Babe Childers, was able to counteract the opposing defenses. The best receiver was Pierre Dalmas, who had a fine year. Louis Guigou, the field goal and extra point kicker, was able to put 12 out of 16 extra points on the scoreboard. Speculating on the future, VHS can look forward to the time when these boys will become Varsity players, and students can expect to see other winning seasons.

They brought back many new ideas, such as “Set- Ready-O-Let’s-Go”’ and use of the low voice method of cheering. The buses going to the ballgames were filled with spirit by the singing of the new songs the cheer- leaders had learned at camp. School spirit was greatly improved by the cheering trend. Co-heads Wanda Childers and Janice Lowman led the Varsity cheerleaders. Mrs. Whisenant, the sponsor, advised the Varsity girls about such matters as pep rallies and uniforms. The Junior Varsity girls were headed by Jackie Refour. New uniforms were attrac- tive additions to both Varsity and Junior Varsity cheer- leaders. Both squads helped boost the spirit at VHS and the new trend brought reformation to the cheer- leading teams. Forming the V of victory, cheerleaders inspire team support at a pep rally.

Happiness is becoming Homecoming Queen and Peggy Haller experiences this feeling. Peggy Haller Queen _of Homecoming Action, excitement, and chaos filled the week of October 16-20, for that was the week of Valdese High School’s homecoming festivities. Monday started off with each homeroom singing the “Alma Mater” every morning of the week, and the planning of the position of floats and cars in the home- coming parade. Most of the clubs at VHS entered floats hoping to win first prize. Meetings of the clubs, to work on floats were held in garages and basements. A poster contest was started. Each homeroom ap- pointed a committee to work on their posters. The winning homeroom would receive free soft drinks. Tuesday brought in the homecoming assembly dur- ing which the homecoming court was presented to the student body. The homeroom winning the poster contest was Miss Morrison’s. Voting for the homecoming queen took place Thursday during homeroom. The students and faculty wore black and gold to school and to the bonfire held that night to show their school spirit. Friday saw students wearing victory buttons to support VHS football team. The special event of the day was the homecoming parade with all the home- coming sponsors riding elegantly through town with the clowns following close behind. Next came the band which certainly topped off a beautiful parade. That night at the football game unusual spirit filled everyone. VHS would soon have her queen. During the half time ceremonies the girls were es- corted on to the football field. As the music swelled, the crowd hushed; then quickly everyone was cheer- ing again. Peggy Haller was the new Homecoming Queen. o Advertisements “Take any streetful of people buying clothes and groceries...” -- COOL TOMBS. — A practical businessman, Sandburg knew _the value of advertising. He himself main- tained a goat farm at Connemara, his home at Flat Rock, suffering the same unpredic- table market chaos of fluctuating prices and values. He knew the importance of en- terprise. Organized industry and enterprise is the mainstay of modern human existence. Without businessmen and merchants, many things would become nonexistent, and the Impersonator would be one of them. The yearbook could not have been published without the support, financial and other- wise, of local industry. VHS is indebted to them for .their support in this and other projects throughout the year.
