Watauga High School - Musket Yearbook (Boone, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 208 of the 1966 volume:

= The Torch Bearer Hold high the torch; you did not light its glow. ’Twas given you by other hands, you know. Tis yours to keep it burning bright. Yours to pass on when you no more need light For there are other feet that we must guide And other forms go marching by our side. Their eyes are watching every tear and smile And efforts which we think are not worthwhile Maybe, perhaps, the very thing they need, Actions to which their souls will take most heed, So that in turn they'll hold it high and say, “I saw another carry it this way.” Hold high the torch; you did not light its glow. | °Twas given you by other hands, you know. I think it started down its pathway bright, That day the Master said, “Let there be light.” And He once said Who hung on Calvary’s tree, “Ye are the light of the world; go — shine for me.” ‘Tis yours to keep it burning bright With the passage of the bond issue of September, 1963, the massive project of building a new consolidated high school was begun. The five existing high schools — Appalachian, Beth- el, Blowing Rock, Cove Creek, and Watauga Consolidated — merged into one. Then overnight the finishing touches were being added to an ultra-modern building and the major por- tion of it was ready for its occupants. Time marched onward. wears © ek concen ee To teach as we have been taught is our re- sponsibility for the future. Together we lived, laughed, and learned. Alone we must face the world, relying upon the wis- dom of experience. So as the rising sun lights the sky, may our lives light a path for the young and the inexperienced so that they, too, may teach as they have been taught. “Ye are the light of the world; go — shine for Me.” Maybe, perhaps, the very thing they need, Discovering, through class experience, one’s abilities and potentials — these are our goals. Our directions, even though different, must originate during our stay here. These roads of life, for some of us, lead toward higher education; for others, happiness lies in the areas of homemaking or the sciences or in the achiev- ing of skills in the manual arts. Regardless of the ulti- mate goal, it is here through participation in a di- versified curriculum that well-rounded individuals emerge. Actions to which their souls will take most heed, Action — that’s the word for our new school. School spirit is shown in the reaction of our stu- dents to every call and play on the field of sports. Hours of drills and practice pay off for the band and the chorus when they journey to choral festi- vals and band contests. In our science labs, experi- ments help each student to understand scientific facts and theories. Yes, in every department of our school and in every phase of our activities, action is the key to our success now and in future years. SS 10 Tears and smiles . . . large groups and individuals . close friends and acquaintances ... planned events and spontaneous activities . . . victories and defeats make the school day. In every class, the atmo- sphere is charged with the personalities of each mem- ber. The true heart-beat of Watauga High is indeed ex- pressed in the tears and smiles of our cheerleaders, ath- letics, administration, and entire student body. ... every tear and smile aia es oe aA ones HES ae an ip eet? 5 oh Me ME RS 11 XIS-ALXIS G3YGNNH Le aT HATE HEH nae Hy This is in tribute to the past. . . This is in tribute to the past. Five schools closed their doors and histories that a larger institution might be born. In order to create a large dream, it is necessary to sacrifice smaller ones; such was the case with Watauga High School when five dreams for educating tomorrow’s leaders became one. We, the students, created the school and gave Watauga High School its meaning; our spirit established its valor. The past, as always, paved a 15 new road to the future. We can never forget the experi- ences the past held; they prepared us for our future. As we cannot forget the past, we cannot reject the future, for it holds life. So, with the death of five wonderful his- tories, we gain the birth of a magnificent future. We therefore wish to dedicate the 1966 MUSKET to our former schools — Appalachian, Bethel, Blowing Rock, Cove Creek, and Watauga Consolidated. ACADEMICS Yours to pass on when you no more need light County Board of Education Sees Result of Planning and Work As Watauga High School Enjoys Successful First Year To these thoughtful men, among others, the students of W.H.S. owe a note of appreciation. Without their fore- sight, as well as that of many other people, our beauti- ful, spacious school would probably never have material- ized. As representatives of the citizenry of Watauga County, these leaders continue to provide for the wel- fare of the various schools of this county. H. W. Mast; Mack Brown; Dr. Charles Davant, Jr., Chairman; W. Guy Angell, Secretary and Superintendent. 18 Dr. Miller Accepts Duties As First Principal of W.H.S. We wish to recognize Dr. N. A. Miller for his unfaltering leadership throughout this school year. As our principal, he set forth the regulations which served as guidelines for establising the dignity of our school. His wisdom and understanding have played an important role in the suc- cess of our attempt to attain unity. A soft voice, a quiet walk, a gentle yet firm dispensing of justice, an unob- trusive air of competence — these qualities and more portray the image of the Principal of Watauga High School. Dr. Miller takes time out for a short informal conference session with Mr. Ross and student. He is always eager to be of help when possible. Wanda Farthing takes notes from Dr. Miller on awards to be pre- sented for Awards Day. WWII N. A. Miller, D.Ed., Univ. of Tennessee Just another face in the crowd! Dr. Miller and another fan discuss game at half-time. 19 Assistant Principal Well Qualified His past experience as principal and teacher makes Carl Fidler well qualified for the position of Assistant Principal. Because of his foresight, many problems connected with the smooth be- ginning of a newly consolidated high school have been avoided. Although Mr. Fidler’s most ob- vious duty is to assist Dr. Miller in the administrative affairs of Watauga High School, he has done more than merely that re- quired by his position. He has been in charge of the transporta- tion facilities for the school, seeing daily that students arrive and depart safely from the building. This is only one of many duties which Mr. Fidler has performed most capably. Carl Fidler, M.A., A.S.T.C. Mr. Fidler discusses day’s schedule with Dr. Miller while awaiting last bus’s arrival. Guidance Counselors Assist in Student Registration Margaret E. Gragg, M.A., A.S.T.C. Mrs. Gragg, the junior-senior counselor, and Mrs. Mast, the freshman-sophomore counselor, began work before Watauga High School opened its doors for the first time, pre-registering all students so that the first days of the 1965-66 school year would be less hectic. During the year, they helped many students find answers to per- sonal problems and decide ori vocations. Grace B. Mast, M.A., A.S.T.C. Faculty and Curriculum Harlan E. Ledford V. Louise Hurd Marie G.

The skills they gain can be applied to college, job, or house- hold duties. Whether typing a manuscript, taking dicta- tion, balancing a ledger, or working with office machines, business students gain the skills necessary to make them competent office personnel. T.

M.A., George Peabody BiSuWALOuEG, Our English Department offers a variety of learning experi- ences through the many daily activities which include pre- paring research papers and themes, studying the lives and works of literary figures of the world, giving oral book reports, and general discussion of assignments. The value of this knowledge contributes to our success in other classes, as well as in life. Mrs. Bradham diagrams predicate nominatives and adjectives for her sophomore English class. Katie J.

Spanish music, as well as films and publications add realism to the study of this foreign language. An inter- esting diversion was the visit of a couple, natives of Cuba, who told of life in an actual Spanish-speaking country. Anita B. Eppley B.M., U.N.C. Greensboro Cuban exiles come to speak to Mrs. Eppley’s Spanish class. When did you become interested in Spanish, Charlie Brown? French students are often overwhelmed at the complexi- ty of learning the proper accent, of memorizing di- alogues as they listen to A-LM tapes, and of attempting to conjugate impossible verbs. But at least once this year both levels of French students took a break from studying as they visited the impressive Biltmore House in Asheville as a cultural excursion. “Will we ever be able to conju- gate all these verbs?’’ wonder Ray Bowkley and Reeves Snyder as they work on assignment for Miss Stiles. Beth Lawrence concentrates on French recording. Cynthia L. Stiles M.A., A.S.T.C. 24 Students Learn Invaluable Skills in Special Reading This course assists students in developing the essen- tial skill of interpreting written materials. With the im- portance of reading today’s newspapers and maga- zines in order to be aware of world situations — as well as the many reading requirements of the high school curriculum, this class is indeed a most valuable one.

Extensive classroom instruction along with hours of experience under the wheel will hopefully prepare a student so that he may get his license. Yet, this is only an elementary step in the process of becoming a capable driver. With classroom behind us, we look forward to ‘‘under the wheel.” Nancy W. Penick B.S., A.S.T.C. Bobby F.

Dates, names, events — these may seem rather cut and dry upon first glance, but when viewed in relation to today’s world, they become a fascinating mirror of tomorrow.

Our most adequate Music Department strives to teach the many variations of this structure through band, chorus, and general music. Then, after hours of vigorous practice and study, the band and the chorus are able to render the beautiful music so enjoyed during assemblies as well as other special events. Barbara Tatum, Iris Proffitt, Brenda Beach, and Janette Payne burst forth with song as they practice for Girls’ Chorus. Otis F.

Drama is enoyed by all students interested in a more outward form of self-expression, and many of these students gain valuable experience in the senior play. Some prefer to paint portraits, but Glenda Lewis enjoys landscapes. Many of the students discovered a talent which had been hidden.

Co-operative Efforts of Businessmen and School Officials Train Students and Supply Employees for Jobs The Vocational Department offers students many op- portunities. Distributive Education, a program provid- ing instruction for those interested in se rvices neces- sary in the transportation of consumer goods, is offered to juniors and seniors. Industrial Cooperative Training, offered also to juniors and seniors, provides instruction in a certain skill. A course in Introduction to Vocations is offered to freshmen to help them ex- plore job opportunities available to them. C. David Greene Bobby E. Harmon B.S., A.S.T.C.

The Home Economics Department Offers Many Experiences of Value in Learning to Cook and Sew Kathleen M. Dougherty Joyce S. Davis M.S., Auburn University B.S., A.S.T.C. Home Economics is one of the most valuable courses available for girls. This course offers a wide variety of experiences which are applicable to the many facets of caring for a home. The preparation of foods and the making of garments, along with lessons of etiquette, budget management, the choosing of wardrobes — these are only a few of the learning experiences in Home Economics. 33 Mary E.

Student Learn of the Logic and Precision of Mathematics The world of tommorrow demands technicians with a thor- ough knowledge of mathemetics. To meet this challenge, students are offered courses in general math, algebra, geometry, and advanced math. Mathematicians are need- ed in space exploration, research, engineering, business and many other fields; therefore, high school students learn the basic logic and precision of this exact science. Valuable experience is gained by student participators from the college as they observe teaching techniques and students at work. Bill Brown James H. Moore Henrietta B. Patterson M.A., A.S.T.C.

Beautiful and Adequate The beauty of our school library beckons students to “come on in’’ and make use of its facilities. A student finds the library not only a place for reference and quiet study, but a place where he can relax while reading the latest newspaper or glancing through various magazines. Competent librarians, working with teachers to aid stu- dents, contribute a great deal to curriculum studies. Lera B. Randall Pauline C. Angell M.A., A.S.T.C. B23, A:SaleG: 37 Adult Education Classes Draw Much Local Response The Adult Education program at Watauga High School is designed primarily to aid adults who wish to continue their education, either as training for job up-grading or as advancement toward securing a G.E.D. Equivalency diploma. It is hoped that this program will continue to grow and to give more and more people in the sur- rounding areas an opportunity to participate. The class in typewriting attracted many ladies interested in either “brushing up” or learning the skill for the first time. Instruction in wood-working and cabinet-making proves beneficial to those men who already held similar jobs as well as to the ‘“‘greenhorns.” During the 1965-66 school year, courses were offered in cabinet-making, electricity, horticulture, typewriting, mathematics, English, and welding. It must be stated that Watauga County citizens have shown an admirable desire to further and to improve their education. As a result, the county will benefit by its citizens being self- sufficient and well-rounded. Those adults who registered for English discovered that high school students are not the only ones who need to concentrate. Instructor James D.

She not only helps to incorpate health education into as many areas of the total curriculum as possible, but she also screens and refers students for any needed care and helps with any emergencies which arise during the school day.

Lab School Assists in Training of Teachers The graduate assistants at W.H.S. have contributed a great deal in the various fields in which they worked. These students, who are working to- ward their M.A. degrees at A.S.T.C. while teaching partime here at the College’s laboratory school, gain the opportunity for actual teaching sit- uations. This background will be of invaluable aid when they go out into the field as full-time teachers. J. A. Bergman Social Studies John P.

These ladies, with additional help from business students, have contributed to the successful administration of this, our first year at W.H.S. Their capable work has added to the necessary organization to comprise a smoothly run school. School secretary, Mrs. Gladys Shelton (left) and assistant secretary, Wanda Farthing (rt.) contributed greatly toward year’s success. Claude Norris, Leroy Kirkpatrick, and Tommy Frady, Chief Custodian, get little-rest. Although providing 1,100 students daily with nourish hot lunches is an overwhelming task, Mrs. Smitn and her assistants have done a very capable job this year. The beauty of the cafeteria has also added pleasure to the lunch hour. These workers have also provided meals for many important school and civic affairs including our Athletic Banquet. Mrs. Ressie Smith (third from left) and her lunchroom staff find that serving a large high school requires organization and quick service. A neat, clean building is an important part of school life. Our group of maintenance workers labor day by day to insure aseptic restrooms, shining floors, and immac- ulate classrooms. The surroundings of the building are also cared for by these workers. The favorable impres- sions of the neatness of our school may be attributed to their hard work. With all the pa per and school materials constantly disposed of by teachers, trash collection is a big problem for the custodians.

The magazine sales this year ended most successfully. 44 Student Council Every path must have a beginning, a point from which to start. The Student Council started the pathway that lead through this, Watauga’s first year. The first step was to elect our leaders, and an exciting election it was. Mike Wilson emerged victorious as the first student body president. The council consists of the four officers and one repre- sentative from each homeroom. These students, with the assistance of Mrs. Gragg, the faculty advisor, estab- lished a constitution, initiated a good-citizenship pro- gram, scheduled dances, established clubs, and held as- semblies. Council members served as student hosts to various groups of distinguished visitors, and proudly conducted tours through the building. The main project of the year was the magazine sale, which provided mon- ey for badly needed books and equipment, but more than this, it united the student body in the joint effort of striving for progress. The council also sponsored a good sportsmanship week, bringing the qualities of a good sport to the attention of the students through bul- letin boards and speeches. Many precedents have been set this year that are good and lasting, thanks to the Student Council. President Mike Wilson studies notes before calling Student Council to order for the regular weekly meeting.

Pionee r The Annual Staff Proudly Presents The Musket Staff Nineteen people signed up for a class in annual. Under Mrs. Janet. Auten’s leadership, the initial steps were tak- en to publish Watauga’s first annual. Mary Darwin Marsh and Janie Shipley were chosen co-editors and other positions were assigned. These people put their heads together and came up with a list of possible titles for the yearbook. The list was submitted to the student body who chose to call this annual THE MUSKET. The year did not truly begin until December when the co-editors and the lay-out staff visited Cambridge, Mary- land, where American Yearbook Company represen- tatives explained principles which make an annual good.

So begins another period of hard work, practicing for the many events in which the band must participate. First there was marching music to learn for the football season, then preparation for the winter concert, dedication, and spring concert. The one event, however, which required the most concentration was the State Band Contest. The band and director, Otis Strother, left for Greensboro with mixed feelings, but there was no need for doubt. The W.H.S. Band re- turned bearing the plaque given only to superior-rated bands.

Chorus If one had passed by the music room this year, he might have heard the light-hearted strains of such popu- lar songs as ‘‘The Sound of Music,’’ or the moving sounds of such as ‘‘Sing To The Lord All Ye Nations.”’ Choral students displayed their talents at the Mars Hill Choral Festival and the Choral Festival in Greensboro. Each choral group, directed by James E. Wilson, repre- sented W.H.S. well in the field of music. Girls’ Chorus Beta Members Attend Asheville Convention Patrolman discusses points of safety as part of a Beta program. Beta Club The highlight of the Beta year is the convention. This year twenty-seven Be- tas accompanied by sponsor, Mrs. Randall, attended the convention in Asheville. (Mrs. Randall also served as state Beta sponsor.) Immediately they were caught up in the whirl of cam- paign activities. There were lectures, campaign speeches, discussion groups, and free time for just having fun. The excitement of a convention is by no means the important part of the Beta Club; it is what the club stands for. A Beta can be proud of the fact that he was chosen as a result of his high scholastic standing, outstanding leadership abilities, high principles, and dependable character. Watauga can be proud of the large number of outstanding students who are members of The Na- tional Beta Club. Lettermen’s Club One can always recognize a letterman by the big blue “W’’ on his sweater or jacket, and it is with great pride that these boys wear this letter. It symbolizes many hours of hard work and practice in various phases of athletics. It signifies their competitive spirit, physical fitness, and sense of fair play. The Lettermen’s Club earned money for the senior jackets by publishing and selling programs and selling concessions at the wrestling tournament. They ended the year with a picnic for lettermen and their dates. These exhausted picnickers find a spot where they can just relax.

Under the lead- ership of Mr. Robert Snead, the students were orga- nized into this special section, where they could sit dur- ing the game and follow the cheerleaders in yells and chants to support the Pioneers. The Pep Club empha- sized good sportsmanship. It was their belief that one could support his team with all his energy, and still maintain respect for the opposition. Pep Club sponsor, Bob Snead, pensively stares onto the court as stu- dents gather in the cheering section just before the game. The student cheering section comes alive in a jubilant cheer as the Watauga Pioneers score two more valuable points.

They organized late in January under the leadership of Richard Tickle and Palmer Blair. From January until the latter part of March, each cold Friday meant a trip to the Blowing Rock Ski Slopes for skiing lessons. Every member of the Ski Club agrees upon one fact — that it was fun! Fun learning to ski and meeting others on the slopes — even if it was just after you had knocked them down. pee dc 57 This horse, owned by sponsor, Mr. Shipley, is one of the many to be exhibited in the horse show. FFA The first meeting of the Future Farmers of America brought response from many interest- ed in agriculture. Although the organization of FFA in Watau- ga High School is still in the beginning stages, this year’s club will undertake its first major project, which is co- sponsoring the Cove Creek Horse Show. FFA boys visit a local farm as a part of their agriculture studies. “Learning by doing’ is a phrase that can certainly be applied to this field. 58 Boys Show Interest in Outdoor Life Wildlife Club The Watauga High School Wildlife Club, under the leadership of Mr. Robert Thomas, devoted its time to the study of nature. One of the highlights of this year’s pro- grams was a lecture presented by a local forest ranger who talked to them about Watauga county's wildlife and how to care for it. Through weekend camping trips and long hikes, club mem- bers observed this wildlife and put into practice the things they had learned. They emphasized hunting safety and the conserva- tion of resources. Fresh air, hunt- ing, fishing, and sleeping under the stars were only a few of the many activities enjoyed by the boys in the Wildlife Club. ROW 1.

They are continually seeking ways to put such skills as cooking and sewing into practice. This year they did this by giving a fashion show in the school auditorium. They modeled many clothes of their own creation. They exibited clothes for formal wear, for sports, and for school. The husbands of the future have nothing to worry about as long as the FFA produces homemakers like these. Models give audience one last look at fashions. A guest model shows the girls a beautiful formal, and invites them to prepare for a wonderful evening at the junior-senior prom. D.E. Members Attend Leadership Conference DLE.

Drivers were trained and tested to prove that each was a careful, reliable driver. Here in the mountains, the daily routine of transporting elementary and high school students to and from school was often interrupted by ice, snow, and dense fog. In addition to the driving, each driver was responsible for the maintenance of his bus. It was his duty to put on the chains, close the windows, sweep the aisles, and keep it running. A student is in charg e of each of these buses and the students who ride them. He must deliver them safely to and from school each day. 63 ATHLETICS .. .

This year the Watauga High football team had to “break the ice” into a 3-A conference already recog- nized as one of the roughest in the state. Coach Poe was deter- mined to make this first team a winning one. This was to be a season of ‘‘Suck in your guts!” “Get ready for next week.” And the team came through. De- feat had to be tasted before vic- tory could be appreciated. After a streak of bad luck, the Pioneers changed their trend and beat Hickory, 28-19.

The team got off to a good start by winning their first eight games, and the gymnasium was always packed with spectators screaming the Pioneers on to victory.

The wrestling team, under the sure guidance of Coach Bill Brown, really worked hard on the mats this year, turning in a very creditable rec- ord of 8 wins and 3 losses in the regular sea- son. Because of snow and bad weather, some meets had to be postponed, and practice itself was interfered with.. Despite all of this, the boys continued to per- form well; and 9 of the team qualified for the Western North Carolina High School Activities Association Wrestling Tournament, in which the Pioneers became the 1966 runner-up. Sev- en of the boys placed in the tournament, with Scott Stanbery and Stanley Carroll becoming first-place champions.

Southpaw Robert Shearin closed out the year with an ERA of 0.72. Pitcher, Rick Hodges, led the team in batting. The diamond is now deserted and the uniforms have all been checked in.

First invitations must be sent, then rehearsals begin; they hear their baccalaureate sermon, and then more rehearsals. Finally the big night arrives. Each student walks to the stage and in turn receives that all important diploma and a final handshake from Dr. Miller. He walks away reluctant to let go of the past, yet eager to delve into the future. Mrs. McConnell and Mr. Fidler help students practice for graduation night. The first dress rehearsal means learning to sit properly and in order. At the baccalaureate service, Rev. Crowder charges seniors to be hon- est with themselves, with God, and with others. Rehearsal doesn’t seem to excite junior and senior choir members. The dignity of graduation night is quite different from rehearsals. 112 Departing Seniors To Be Individualists seo 2 oe 3 Aig oD sy Witney) soe oe Ss 3 ST Ek ae pees “ Steet am ay, bed The Senior Class of Watauga High School requests the honor .
