Ge Spirit of Watauga iw... lated by Success Stimu J Competition ee poeliyy N In all one does, he competes both with himself and others. The results of his competition, whether he wins or loses, will enrich his life. The mature person learns from his failures, admits his prejudices, views himself objectively, and stands up for his beliefs. A successful individual realizes that the key to happiness Is the abili- ty to benefit from every situation. Before one can become enthusiastic about anything, he must be genuinely interested in what he is doing. Enthusiasm initiates all community and school activi- ties, both academic and extra-curricular. In fact, enthu- siasm is the core of every human action. It lives through the personal dreams of individuals, and its end result produces progress. ty INCE! jos Enthusiasm, the Genius o te for Tomorrow The enthusiasms of today are the lifeline for tomor- row. The visions of the future can only be fulfilled by daily accomplishments. 1S1 Progress, the Prerequ step-by-step achieve- These ments add up to be progress.

This past year the school was supplied with graduate assistants, practice teachers, and participators from the college. By means of the closed-circuit television, the college students were able to observe different teaching methods and life-like classroom situations. A practice teacher gains experience and fulfills a requirement for his degree. the Southern Association Evaluation Committee Watauga High School was evaluated April 4-5 for ac- creditation by the State Department of Public Instruc- tion, and for membership in the Southern Association of Secondary Schools. Evaluation for the Southern Associa- tion involved a self-study by the school of its philosophy, objectives, guidance and health services, schoo! staff, and all other aspects of the educational program. Mem- bership in the Association would indicate that our school has met the standards required for superior schools in the southern United States.

Education Makes Big Strides in Watauga County The following men served on the County Board of Education Chairman; Dr. Charles Davant, Jr.; and W. Guy Angell, Secre- during the 1966-67 school term: H. W. Mast; Mack Brown, tary and Superintendent of Schools. Mrs. Michael Vetrie reads over next year’s teaching contract before signing her name on the dotted line. BOARD OF EDUCATION Attention focused on the business at hand as the chairman of the Watauga County School Board called the monthly meeting to order. On the shoulders of these four administrators rested the educational problems of the school system. The ultimate authority on everything that touched school life, these citizens arbitrated dis- putes, wrestled with budgets, and considered long- range plans as well as immediate problems. At their regular monthly meetings they prepared the school’s cal- endar, reviewed the budget, and attempted to meet the challenges of organized education. 18 The superintendent of schools, Mr. Angell, supported the Pioneers by attending the basketball game between Watauga and Hickory.

ADMINISTRATION athe A student discusses a problem with Mr. Carl Fidler, assistant principal, The administrative staff was comprised of people who expecting to receive good advice. carried large responsibilities. Multitudes of problems faced Dr. Miller and Mr. Fidler. These ranged from repri- manding teen-aged offenders to signing the long-await- ed diplomas. The guidance counselors, secretaries, and nurse had an equal responsibility to the students; their responsibilities varied from seeing students in the health clinic and making out admit slips to simply lend- ing a sympathetic ear. The administrative staff was truly the heart of W.H.S. The freshman-sophomore counselor, Mrs. Dave Mast, fills out needed information in a student’s permanent record.

Randall Norma Wilcox Assistant LIBRARY The library was a place where one could travel through the past, present, and future, or merely escape from reality into the realms of fiction. As one entered the library, the warm, relaxed atmosphere and the efficient librarians and their assistants helped to take away the jitters of oncoming term papers and the anxi- eties over a test that was coming up next period. In the library, one could collect a storehouse of knowledge through the use of various reference materials, daily newspapers, and up-to-date magazines. The library not only served the serious-minded student but was also a place where a student could retire from the hectic school-life with a magazine.

Well-or- ganized, mechanically correct and thoughtful writing on the part of the students evolved through practice; and clear, logical speech was taught through oral reports and class discussion. It is known that the knowledge gained in English class will be of value in other courses and in life itself.

While trying to understand the directions given by Miss Peterson, Mary Hartley won- ders if she will ever complete her term paper. Judy Giles, Mark Thalheimer, and Gary Shore find the lab a help in mastering their French dialogues. By questioning students, Mrs. Eppley is able to deter- mine if the lab is working properly. FRENCH ‘Quelle heure est-il? Il est trois heures.’’ These and oth- er sentences are what you would hear students practicing in French classes. For additional practice in listening and speaking, students used the new language lab installed in the fall. During the winter quarter, the classes were pleased to have Miss Hannelore Pfann, a native of Ger- many, work with Miss Stlles, who toured Europe last summer. Throughout the year, songs, slides, bulletin boards, crossword puzzles, French magazines, and other media were used with classwork to add interest and vari- ety. 26 Janice M. Addington Graduate Assistant Anita B. Eppley Len G. Evans French students benefit from the natural accent of Miss Pfann, their student teacher, as she explains grammar as well as pronunciation. SPANISH The students in Mrs. Eppley’s Spanish | and Spanish II classes were fortunate because they heard authentic Spanish every day. Mrs. Eppley had taught in Bolivia, and was able to supply her students with genuine Spanish lan- guage and culture. The students participated in the labo- ratory, listened to tapes and records, and did oral drills that helped to improve their fluency and pronunciation. The well-planned course of study, pluss interesting materi- al, made the course fun as well as rewarding. study of Various Countries Is Useful to All Doughton L. Greene Claire L. Mamola ANITA B.

Films, reports, debates, and class discussions helped the students gain a better understanding of the world around them. History is being made every day. The Social Studies Department prepared students to meet the chal- lenges of the future and, as adults, to face them with confidence and understanding.

ART The main purpose of the art class was to provide stu- dents with a way of expressing themselves. Throughout the year students were instructed in the use of pencil, charcoal, pastels, oils and water colors; they also studied the different styles of painting. Art class stressed drawing skills, color theory, poster making, and some knowledge and understanding of great art from early times to the present. DRAMA AND SPEECH The drama and speech class was divided into two parts last year. In the drama semester, an effort was made to develop an acquaintance with and an apprecia- tion for drama, the theater, and acting. Similarly, in speech the emphasis was upon the improvernent of each student’s everyday conversational speech. A substantial segment of time was alloted to the study of the sounds of our language, phonetics. “No, Larry, that isn’t my lunch!” exclaims Mr. Ross, as he tells his class how the diaphragm functions in full breathing.

Students Begin to Appreciate the Sophisticated MUSIC Strains of music filled the air as the band and choruses practiced for their concerts. These organizations strove to further the appreciation of music among high school stu- dents. Through the music courses, students not only learned techniques and technicalities, but also gained a general understanding of beauty and form. During the year, the music groups performed at different public and an J. E. Wilson, Jr. Otis F. Strother, I! school functions, presenting music to suit the mood of each occasion. They also took part in many state-wide contests. Mr. Eugene Wilson energetically conducts one of the cho- ruses as they practice for a concert. The members of the mixed chorus seem to be putting their souls into their voices. Their emotions were displaved at the many concerts thev gave.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION The main objectives of the Physical Education Depart- ment were to develop and maintain individual physical efficiency and fitness, and to establish desirable health Mere noran Cee esa and safety habits, attitudes, and practices. These objec- pet tives were accomplished by co-ordinating the textbook with an array of sports and activities. These ranged from volleyball, soccer, tumbling, and ping-pong to learning the latest dances. Lod H. Carter Lentz Carolyn C.

HOME ECONOMICS In Home Economics, experiences were provided which offered opportunity for participation in solving personal! and family problems in relationships, management, eco- nomics, housing, child development, food, nutrition, clothing, grooming, and health. The over-all purpose of homemaking was to provide opportunities for the individ- ual to prepare herself for a useful and satisfying personal, family, and community life. ““M-m-m-m, good!”’ says Margaret Barnes as she samples the delicious tomato soup prepared in the home economics kitchen.

INTRODUCTION TO VOCATIONAL EDUCATION |.V.E. was a course designed to help the student, usually a freshman, plan for his educational and vocational fu- ture. This was done by relating the student’s personality, interests, and abilities to the world of work. An opportunity was given each student to explore occupations that were of interest to him. If the student made an early choice of the general field of work he wanted, he then could take advan- tage of the various courses offered in high school.

CARPENTRY The Carpentry course at Watauga High School was geared to meet the needs of students who felt they should not attend college. The students enrolled in carpentry spent most of their time learning the fundamentals of cab- inet-making. How well the boys acquire the skill of cabinet- making could be seen in the beautifully constructed cabi- nets they built. One of the carpentry students assembles a cabinet after staining all its parts. Bobby E. Harmon Mr. Harwood helps mechanical drawing student Gary Shore with just one of his many problems. Roger Lee Harwood John W. Moretz MECHANICAL DRAWING Mechanical Drawing is a representation of the graphic language. This graphic language may take the form of ar- chitectural rendering, architectural drawing, machine drawing, and the various fields of drafting. By individual teaching methods, each student excelled according to the particular interest he or she may have had in a certain area. The course of study was aimed at developing clear, concise and logical thinking, neatnesSs traits, and a proficency in the subject matter. The students’ skills were tested when they drew up plans for and supervised the construction of a home for the school’s custodian. At the end of a hectic day, many joyed working by themselves. en- 37 Two boys in auto mechanics class make a few last- minute repairs on an engine.

Shipley AUTO MECHANICS In Auto Mechanics students learned skills in how to maintain and repair mechanical, electrical, and body parts of trucks and buses, as well as passenger cars. They also learned to use many different kinds of tools and equip- ment. The equipment ranged from simple hand tools, such as screw-drivers, wrenches, and pliers, to complicat- ed and expensive machines and equipment. Upon com- pletion of this course, the student was qualified to be em- ployed as an apprentice mechanic.

Ward CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRIES Construction Industries served as an_ introductory course to the entire vocational department. The primary function of the construction industries class was to pro- vide industrial experiences of an exploratory nature. Many basic theories were taken up in this class. A family of occu- pations were covered during the year; these included me-- chanical drawing, electrical engineering, and basic car- pentry. ROBERT W.

AGRICULTURE This past school year found the Agriculture Department offering many new courses, as well as old ones, relating to agriculture. Some of the new courses added this year were farm machinery, horticulture, livestock, poultry, crops and soils, and forestry. Students not only studied in the class- room, but they went on several field trips. They visited farms and were able to get a ‘‘first-hand’’ view of how a farm is run. 39 Adults in Watauga County Are Able to Earn of Becky Wright was just one of the many people enrolled in the night class- es offered during the year at Watauga High School. The typewriting classes were some of the most popular night courses offered during the 1966-67 school year. 40 ADULT EDUCATION The Adult Education program was designed to offer many adults of Watauga County and neighboring counties a chance to secure a D.E.D. Equivalency diploma or merely to brush up on forgotten skills. Some of the courses that were offered during the 1966-67 school year included knitting, typewriting, shorthand, welding, mathematics, carpentry, small engine repair, income-tax filing, and physical fitness.

LU NCH ROOM The cafeteria personnel, comprised of Mrs. Smith and her assistants, prepared hot, nourishing, well balanced meals for the students at Watauga High School. In order to feed all of the students, two lunch periods were necessary. Despite the mad rush during lunchtime, the lunchroom was a place where one could enjoy the meals in a pleasant atmosphere and converse with friends before returning to the classroom. Lunchroom personnel quickly dishes up lunches for hungrily waiting stu- dents. Students were run through two lines for faster service. “Mr. Roten, you're trying to cheat us, are you?” accused Mrs. Barbara Waters. “The lunch costs $.40, not just $.35.” Classrooms and Filling Meals for All Students Mrs. Aldridge had a difficult job this school year keeping a considerable amount of the building tidy.

MAINTENANCE “My, this certainly is a beautiful school!’’ This is a re- mark visitors have made about our school, and we give much of the credit to the maintenance staff. Through their tireless efforts, students at Watauga High School were able to attend a school with shining floors, sparkling win- dows, immaculate classrooms and classroom furniture, and a pleasant environment. y “ss Claude Norris, custodian, labors industriously in order to have the air conditioning repaired for the following school day.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council of W.H.S. has three purposes: to promote the general welfare of the school through lead- ership and example, to assist in the management of school affairs, and to preserve the spirit and traditions of the school. In its role as an advisory group of homeroom representatives, the council enabled every student to share in carrying out these purposes. The aim of our stu- dent government was not to govern students, but to help the individual student to learn self-discipline in order to govern himself.

The club members listened to many plays on records. The members represented char- acters in many of the plays while sponsor, Mr. Bill Ross, acted as moderator and main character. Throughout the school year, a variety of live play pro- ductions and recordings were presented before the members of the Dramatics Club. While lecturing to his club members, Mr. Ross accidentally on purpose slips into a soliloquy from one of his favorite plays.

Mrs. Rose Tillinghast, District Coordinator, visited the Health Careers Club and explained the statewide pro- gram. Eleven club members attended the District Health Careers Congress in Asheville in October. The highlight of the year was a guided tour through the new Watauga County Hospital in March.

F.H.A. “Mian works from sun to sun, but woman’s work is never done.’’ A truer statement was never made; how- ever, it was hoped that the club made the role of a home- maker easier for its members by teaching them the basic fundamentals of homemaking. To help individuals improve personal, family, and community living, now and in the future, were the goals of the Watauga chapter of Future Homemakers of America. As an outside - project, each member of the club did something to assist a senior citizen living in their community. The art of sewing was stressed throughout the year as the girls learned what the terms “‘bias,”’ ‘‘grain,’’ and ‘‘alteration’’ meant. Observations of Farms Are Made by F.F.A.

BUS DRIVERS Responsible bus drivers were not difficult to find at Watauga High School. The drivers were each trained to be careful and dependable. Not only the care of the high school and elementary students but the care of the bus laid in the hands of the bus drivers. The care of the bus consisted of keeping it clean, putting chains on the tires during icy and snowy weather, and minor mechan- ical repairs. These well trained bus drivers provided safe transportation for each student in the county throughout the 1966-1967 school year. Keith Oliver takes a break from the school day to put on chains before trying to deliver everyone home. D.E.

He strives to promote a greater athletic interest and good sports- manship throughout the school and community. When a letterman becomes a senior, he receives the honor of owning a letter jacket. These jackets were paid for by money which was raised through selling tourna- ment wrestling programs and ‘‘Pioneer’’ car tags. The lettermen also worked with the Girl’s Monogram Club to build a float for homecoming. Jimmy Marsh and Mike Trivette easily put on one of the many Pioneer car tags sold by the Lettermen’s Club during the 1966-67 school year. These tags boosted both school spirit and their pocketbook.

Any girl who had lettered in a varsity sport was qualified for membership in the Monogram Club. This year the club sold mums for homecoming, and helped the Lettermen’s Club build a float for the first W.H.S. Homecoming Parade.

The football team got off to a slow start, winning only one of its first four games. However, the team came on strong in the last half of the season, winning three, losing two, and tying one, to place fourth in the tough Northwestern Conference.

However, the Pi- oneer linemen came back in the third and fourth quar- ters to hold the Hudson offense to no points. In this half the linemen, led by H. J.

The backs proved themselves when they stole the show at Marion on October 7, 1966. It seemed that the hard work of Coach Bill Brown paid off as the offense rallied for 26 points. Fine runs by sophomore halfback Sonny Cook and senior fullback Mike Trivette seemed to come at will and proved to be too much for the Ripper defense.

Cagers Win Second Conference Championship Many supporters of the W.H.S. basketball team thought this year’s team would have a tough time ad- justing to the loss of three starters, two of which made all-conference last year. The Pioneers withstood the pres- sure, however, and finished the season as the ‘‘No. 1” team in the Northwestern Conference with an out- standing 16-2 record. Most of the scoring honors went ‘to Garry Henson, senior forward six feet four inches tall, but the other members of the squad proved to be very capable scorers also. First-string players confer with Coach Lentz during a short time-out. The coach is instructing them on the plays to run.

Wins Big Game of the Year at Hickory On the 20th of January, 1967, the W.H.S. Pioneer cagers journeyed to Hickory to play a very exciting game with the Hickory High School Tornadoes. Hickory and Watauga have become great rivals in almost every sport, and this game turned out to be no exception. Both teams were ‘‘up’’ mentally and physically, but Hickory had one advantage—they were playing at home. The lead changed hands constantly during the game, but in the final seconds W.H.S. pulled ahead by a 49-46 margin, which proved to be enough to win. Coach Lentz gives the boys some vital last-minute instructions during the final seconds of the Hickory game.

The second battle was against Le- noir, who was third in regular conference standings. The Pioneers had some hard luck and came out on the short end of a 62-52 score.

The rest of the season went much like last year. The girls did practice long and hard, but it seemed that all they did was nul- lified by hard luck. Next year should bring about a great amount of maturing on the part of most of the girls, and therefore, the record of the girl’s basketball team should be greatly improved over the previous year’s record.

Coach Lentz lined up a rugged schedule to pre- pare the Jayvees for next season, when many of them will be promoted to the varsity squad. The team did pull through the season to compile. a 4-5—1 record. Most of the offensive burden was carried by sophomore half-back Gerald Brown.

The team was balanced in all de- partments, and the reserve strength was also helpful in many cases. The fine coaching of Tommy Levelle was shown as the Jayvees made much improvement over last year.

Four of the boys made it to the finals, only to lose by narrow margins. Scott Stanbery and Lee Stroupe placed first, and Scott was voted the ‘‘Out- standing Wrestler’ of the tournament.

The first handicap was that the boys had to use the college facilities. However, they practiced every day possible, preparing for the Bi- Conference and Association Tournaments. When May 5 rolled around, four boys had qualified for the Bi-Con- ference Tournament; these boys then represented Wa- tauga in the Association Tournament. With the matur- ing of many of the young members, the coaches are anticipating a much-improved team next spring. Mike Thomas, Greg Nichols, Allen Trivette, and Mike Trivette seemed to be the best boys on the track team. They were the only ones in Boone who were eligible to go to the bi-conference meet.

Although practice took place early in the morning before school, a surprising number of students participated in the tennis program. Not only boys but girls were among those who took part in the new sport. The varsity team was made up primarily of underclassmen. Another handicap was that all matches were played away from home.

After much work and co-operation by the Student Council and several faculty members, espe- cially Mr. Fidler, an intramural basketball league was started. Later in the year, after basketball season had ended, an intramural volleyball league was begun. Intra- mural basketball was open to any boy who did not par- ticipate in a winter sport.

Griefs and Delights Show Everyday Life We never cease to be amazed by the number of amateur mimics pres- ent in our student body during the lunch hour The everyday life of each member of the student body of W.H.S. can perhaps be best expressed as ‘‘nothing new’’ and yet as the same time ‘‘nothing quite the same. ’ As they go through their school day, students follow a set schedule, a pre-directed guide to their activi- ties.

S. alumni were present during Homecoming festivities to help boost the Pioneers to a decisive victory over the Taylorsville Bears. Although in- clement weather prevailed during most of the game, the students spirit was not dampened. Members of the Student Council and Lettermen’s Club worked very diligently to complete a float to partici- pate in the Homecoming parade. The first homecoming of W. H. S. proved to be a very successful event, which will be one to be remembered in the years to come when there will be many more homecomings to be enjoyed by all who attend.

Underclassmen do not usually attend the major dances either because of personal reluctance or because of formal exclusion since they are not upperclassmen. The Harvest Dance provides a unique opportunity Sponsored by the junior class, the Harvest Dance in- volved a great deal of hard work and fun. The dance gave the students a break from the everyday routine of school life. Unique decorations provided a light atmo- sphere and emphasized the beauty of autumn for a very enjoyable evening. This was one of the many activities that the junior class sponsored in order to raise money for the Junior- Senior Prom, an annual event. Any school dance is always only the postscript to many hours of plan- ning and actual decorations, as these juniors show. for the freshmen and sophomores to begin participation in high school social life. Christmas Dance Is Beginning of Yule Season wee cone The Deacons from Appalachian State Teachers College, comprised of two alumni from Watauga, provide delightful music for dancing. The Yuletide season was welcomed in this year as the senior class began to make plans for the Christmas dance. Members of the senior class, along with Mrs. Mc- Connell, senior class sponsor, worked many long and hard hours to produce a distinctive Christmas spirit. The lobby was decorated with an enormous Christmas tree with flashing red and green decorations. The entertainment was provided by the Deacons, a lo- cal singing group. Their music added to the festive feel- ing which remained throughout the dance. Barbara Barnett and Jimmy Marsh discuss the beautiful decor- ations which appear at the Christmas Dance. Jane Dougherty and Tom Adams converse with friends while Larry Ford performs the painstaking task of serving punch to all who attend. 110 square Dancers Exhibit Outstanding Talents | “Ladies to the center and gents gather round!”’ calls David Tate as the call.

Daisy Mae Captures Tommy at Dogpatch Dance The sophomore class worked hard to turn Watauga High into Dogpatch, U. S. A. for the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. Everyone who attended was dressed in the typical Daisy Mae and Li’l Abner costumes. Choosing Daisy Mae and Li’! Abner was not an easy job for the judges. After much observation the judges chose Ollie Jackson and Tommy Kirk as the most representative of Daisy Mae and Li’l Abner. The entertainment was provided by the Undecides, a group composed of high school students. The dance was enjoyed by all and everyone will look forward to the dance again next year. Chosen as the most symbolic of Daisy Mae and Li'l] Abner were Ollie Jackson and Tommy Kirk. The Undecides provide the music for the girls to catch boys by. They are composed of both sophomores and juniors and have provided entertainment at many local functions. Ricky Davis tries to demonstrate the correct way of doing the ‘‘Sadie Hawkins Special,’’ while other students have their own way of performing this unusual dance. 112 Student Body Chooses ‘‘Petticoat Government” Whether it be lunches in the lunchroom or a new stu- dent activity bus, the campaign speeches covered the entire range. Students were bombarded from all sides by political handbills, petitions, banners, posters, dem- onstrations, and handshaking campaign managers. By Friday, the beleagured voters were as certain of their choice as they were uncertain on Monday. For the first time in Watauga’s life-span, the student body elected its first woman president, Sandra Cook. Also elected were Mark Wilson, Beth Lawrence, and Monnie Blanton to serve as the other student body officers. Sandra Cook tries to convince Scott Randall! that she is really the best candidate by using her female ingenuity. £ Terri Greene concentrates on the big decision she must make before casting her vote for the most qualified person. “Really now! You mean you are not going to vote for me!” exclaims Gray Wilson to a group of fellow students. Many unique posters such as this appeared throughout the building during the campaign. 113 Love Abounds in Senior Play ‘‘Kiss and Tell’’ The senior class presented the annual senior play on May 17, 18, and 19 in the school auditorium. Under the direction of Mr. Ross, the members of the cast worked on weekends and school nights to produce a long-to-be- remembered play. The play was about a sixteen-year old girl who was be- lieved to be pregnant. In the end it was revealed that she was only protecting her close girlfriend, who was se- cretly married to her brother. Corliss Archer, portrayed by Carroll Shook, believes that dog is man’s best friend, as is visible from her expression. Is it really true that blonds have more fun? This must not be true as proven by play characters, Mildred and Lenny.

The main attraction for the prom was an enormous water fountain which was placed in the middle of the dance floor. Jane Deas, like many other students in the junior class, worked many f . é ‘ long and hard hours to bring about the beautiful prom. In an exhilarating atmosphere of ‘Three Coins in a Fountain,’’ the Junior- Senior Prom delighted all who at- tended. Students, under the supervision of Miss Peter- son and Mr. Evans, worked together to accomplish a beautiful setting that was acclaimed by many to be the | most beautiful in years. The entire decor was centered | around the lovely fountain in the center of the dance | floor. Both students and faculty enjoyed dancing to the | outstanding music of the Ambassadors.

U7 Varied Emotions Present in Commencement Four years ago the present seniors were totally uncon- cerned with thoughts of the conclusion of high school. As sophomores and juniors, they thought only of the prestige. and honor awating them as upperclassmen. Then, as the senior year began, they began to sense the ever-growing signs that the end was nearing. Finally, as its presence grew so large that it could be no longer ig- nored, the seniors met and faced it in as many different ways as there are seniors themselves. The three brief hours spent by the senior class partici- pating in the baccalaureate and graduation exercises were only the conclusion to many hours of planning, measuring, and marching by the seniors themselves, their sponsors, the faculty, the junior marshals, and the administration. The senior class sponsor, Mrs. Mary Mc- Connell, ably met the gigantic responsibility of seeing that all robes were at the right place at the right time, that all diplomas were in the correct order, and that all proceedings went along smoothly in a calm, orderly, and dignified manner. In the end, all went as expected, and the seniors completed their four years of high school in quiet dignity and beauty. Is it really true that practice makes perfect?

The endless hours of worry, writing copy, planning, picture-taking, and editing are over. The Musket is com- pleted to the amazement of the staff, faculty, and stu- dent body. This year has been a trying one with unex- pected hardships on everyone involved. |, along with the rest of the staff, learned what an exceedingly difficult job it is to organize a yearbook and to try to please a student body of over eleven hundred people. We hope we have assembled -a book in which you will see yourself and your school portrayed in all facets of life. The Spirit of Watauga—displayed through sports, dances, clubs, activities, dates, studies—will hopefully come alive for you in this book, allowing you to relive precious high school experiences. Each of you has contributed to the formation of The Musket, for without you, there would have been no book. The Musket Is, in essence, Watauga High School. For the seniors, the close of this year leaves not only nostalgia but also anticipation for the future, marked by a-turning point in their life—graduation. To you seniors, faculty, and student body this book is not only meant to be a memory album but also a reference source for names and dates grown dim with age. | would like to express my appreciation to everyone who has offered constructive ideas, devoted time and ef- fort to assembling the book, and lent a sympathetic ear to our frustrations. Your support has genuinely been appreciated. Time has run out to change The Musket. The whole staff has done its best to produce a book pleasing to everyone concerned. Only time will tell if we have been successful. ie Mh A ae hy 1 i J Ni Wy 2 ap ry: iy i i) i : wi ‘ t i) ‘ un i ei) ey i nik BT yo ne ‘(RN Te on id | } ' ‘ ' , pi V { ; i i OM en, aa a i, fea 7 Wed | a pit my a ae i va ‘iam . ; ae ANY ‘ 7 ) Siege (Al Aa Ns
