caesar _ : hy Sea La . e MUSIKEG 1968 Volume III Watauga High School Boone, N.C. Katie Reed Jane Deas Co-Editors Ray Moretz Business Manager It Is With Pride And to Mr. William Ross, a teacher whose dauntless spirit and enthusiasm for Watauga and its students is un- mistakable. His persistent desire to help students is dis- played both in and out of the classroom. He provides a challenge and opportunity for experience in acting by di- recting the senior play every year. It is indeed a privilege and an honor to have Mr. Ross on the staff of Watauga High School. ee wey d d icate That The 1968 Musket Is Ded 1ation Apprec Watauga In Our Time The day of Watauga has been characterized above all by the striving of everyone to attain new goals and to overcome difficulties and handicaps, no matter which phase of school, social, or personal life it concerns. In its everyday existence, Watauga has sought to overcome the many obstacles which have confronted it. It has not been an easy or pleasant task; but, although Watauga has not achieved a state of perfection, she has realized many dreams and has accepted defeats as a painful but neces- sary part of experience. Thus we see Watauga in our time the time of accomplishment and disappointment, and of the satisfaction of knowing that each year will be- come a better one. The Hour Of Experience A necessary prerequisite for a meaningful and happy existence is experience, although at times it may seem painful and futile. Both good and bad experiences are felt in the life of Watauga. Its hours are filled with intel- lectual enrichment, the achievement of honors, social events, sports activities, and an overall spirit of trying to learn from past experiences. Thus the Hour of Watauga is the Hour of Experience ... that time when we all strive to turn a past defeat into a future victory, when we all work our hardest to make the best of every situation, and to experience high school life to the very utmost degree. The Hour Of Challenge As we look back on our past experiences, we see that we have not done our best and have not accomplished our goals as well as we might have. We realize that we have not accepted the challenge of performing to the best of our ability, but have merely turned our backs on the problems, responsibilities, and commitments which have confronted us. When we are faced with the very chal- lenge of living in a time when it is so easy to be caught in the stream of human existence, it is necessary for us to accept the challenges put before us. . . those challenges presented by all areas of Watauga life. In doing so, our lives will become more worth-while. dl 10 The Time Of Change Graduation marks a change in each student’s life as he enters a world of his own. As seniors leave the world of ide- alistic youth to enter adulthood—which is quite a change— they pause with memories of the magic years of high school. Change is aroused by the first signs of ambition. When one has a goal to reach, it is achieved only by changes. The beginning of change for most high school students is at com- mencement, for then they are considered adults of the be- muddled world. Each step down the aisle taken by seniors carries them farther from the world they have known and into a world which needs a change to new thoughts and actions. Table Of Contents ORGANIZATIONS 148 CLASSES ADVERTISING 212 11 12 The time for which students meet their fullest reward is the time spent on studying. Everyone studies each subject in order to reach a better understanding of the world and themselves. Some students may fail and some may suc- ceed, but the teachers give equal assistance to all of those who ask in earnest. ACADEMICS Board Of Education Plans For County Schools The Board of Education of Watauga County Schools met the first Monday of every month to plan for the fu- ture of the eight county schools. They planned budgets, hired new teachers, and prepared for the new school year ahead. They visited schools to see them in action and to get a better idea of the problems which must be ironed out for a better school in the future. The members were elected by the people of Watauga County to provide a better school in which their children of the county could be educated. The Board of Education takes time out from a busy schedule to pose for a picture for the Musket. The members are: (seated) Mack Brown, ee oe ) 4 pies Ss xe Se ppg - Mrs. Dessa Mae Edmisten, supervisor, and Mr. Angell discuss some notes taken while she was visiting with county teachers.

ASU Financial Aid Proves Beneficial To School Mr. Whitmer, a graduate assistant from Appalachian State University, shows Bill McGuire how to operate a projector. Leonard Hicks and graduate assistant Mrs. Beshears watch with interest as another student gives an oral report in English. Appalachian State University and Watauga High School were joined even more closely together during the past year than they had ever been before. Since Watauga is the laboratory school for ASU, it received aid in a number of various ways. Some of the teachers received a supplement to their yearly salary, while students attend- ing the graduate school of ASU taught classes at Watau- ga as graduate assistants. Appalachian students also par- ticipated in high school classes of the subjects they plan to teach after graduation from ASU. One of the monitors of the closed-circuit television installed at Watauga High School depicts a typical classroom scene. 15 As school began in the fall, so did the tedious jobs of Watauga’s principal, Dr. N. A. Miller, and its assistant principal, Mr. Carl Fidler. Their jobs varied from hosting visiting dignitaries to disciplining rowdy students. But the beginning of the year did not initiate their duties; Dr. Miller worked diligently during the summer to plan schedules and then to adjust them. Mr. Fidler was re- sponsible for the safe transportation of students on the buses. Both principals made sure that good behavior was Dr. Miller concentrates on the announcements he is about to make. He always displayed. also gives special instructions concerning class meetings. Ollie Jackson waits for Mr. Fidler, assistant principal, to sign her admis- sion slip so that she may be allowed to re-enter class. Dr. Miller watches as Mr. Fidler searches for a student’s class schedule which is needed to call the student to the office. Jimmy Harrison consults Mrs. Mast as to what subjects he should take next year in preparation for his future career. The work in the guidance and health offices seemed al- most continuous. Mrs. Grace B. Mast, the freshman and sophomore counselor, aided freshmen and sophomores in their plans for the high school years ahead of them. The junior and senior class counselor, Mrs. Margaret Gragg, assisted juniors in planning for their senior year and se- niors in choosing a college. The guidance department also directed the administering of group tests and spon- sored the rewarding “College and Career Nights.” The school nurse, Mrs. Harrill, was always ready to give first aid or advice regarding health problems. Counselors And Nurse Give Valuable Advice Mrs. Gragg checks over a permanent record to see if all the student’s teachers have filled in the correct information. Mrs. Harrill, school nurse, prepares one of her health lectures which she gives for the benefit of Watauga’s students. 17 Watauga Library Chosen For Demonstration Use The Watauga High School library was chosen by the Demonstration School Libraries Project as one of the six- teen demonstration libraries in North Carolina. The schools funded under this program received a special supplemental allotment of federal funds, which were used for the purchase of a wide variety of materials. The Wa- tauga library was indeed fortunate because its being made an exclusive library has enabled people from all over the county to see one of the outstanding libraries in the state of North Carolina.

McConnell Nancy W. Penick The freshmen and sophomores of Watauga High School eagerly awaited their chance to take Driver Edu- cation because this course was the first step toward get- ting their driver’s licenses. The course was given under the direction of qualified, state-approved teachers who had worked to meet state requirements and regulations. Thirty hours of classwork and six hours of road work were required to receive the certificate needed to get a driver’s license. Cars are traded each year to insure the safety of the students. Driver Education students study the parts of the car motor as Mr. Mc- Connell explains the function of the radiator.

Kinney Our very efficient English Department has prepared us for a future of expressing ourselves in both speech and writing. Students wrote a research paper each year to help them gain skill in writing and in the use of reference materials. One of the requirements for passing English was the report on a certain number of books each year. This encouraged students to read and gave them an op- portunity to criticize other people’s works. Oral book re- ports gave them the opportunity to gain needed experi- ence in speaking to an audience. Fred T. Poplin Anne S. Shope Julia J. Vetrie Betty C. Wells Mary M. Wilson Mattie L.

Stiles The Foreign Language Department became more ac- tive by adding Latin, French III, and Spanish III for the 1967-68 school year, giving the students a chance to further their study in their favorite language. The class- rooms were equipped with modern laboratory facilities, enabling students to become more fluent in their partic- ular language. The courses also included studies of each country’s people and cultures; as a result, a better under- standing was brought about of the other countries and peoples of the world. mous Latin authors, and the large number of Latin roots which are found in the English language. The Past And Present Prepares Students For Future In order to understand the present and to prepare for the future, one must study and understand the past. The courses offered at Watauga ranged from world history to Democracy in Action. Some of the courses dealt with the government of different countries. Others were about the history of the world and how it has changed. Family Liv- ing was added to the department this year to help stu- dents understand family life. From the study of the world as it was and as it is now, we can make plans for a brighter and more secure future. ‘Len G. Evans Doughton L.

Students read plays and learned to appreciate famous authors and were exposed to famous works of literature. Students also studied phonetics and took breathing exercises to improve their speech. Art gave students a chance to express themselves in their own individual ways. Students had a chance to try their artistic talents in many phases of painting. Art ap- preciation was stressed in the art classes. One of the excellent drawings done by an art student is seen as it hangs on the bulletin board in Mrs. Wells’s room. Otis F. Strother James E. Wilson, Jr. During the past year, the Choral Ensemble, Girls’ Cho- rus, Boys’ Chorus, and Concert Choir gained skill and sought more advancement in music. An “Excellent” rat- ing was given the Ensemble at the state contest at David- son. All four choruses journeyed to Marion for a district contest in April. The Watauga High Marching Pioneers played at foot- ball games and pep rallies and gave concerts which were open to the public. The band also gave many fine perfor- mances in parades and contests. The woodwind and brass sections of the concert band adds to the beau- ty of the music played for the Christmas program.

Lentz Good physical health is essential to everyone. It was the goal of the Physical Education Department to help students achieve good health. Health and physical educa- tion were required by all freshman boys and girls. Physi- cal Education I and III were offered to sophomores, ju- niors, and seniors. Emphasis was placed on exercising in the physical education classes. This was achieved often by playing games. These games included tumbling, vol- leyball, basketball, trampoline, jumping, and softball. Safety was always stressed. Physical Education students wait for their chance to try their skill at prac- ticing and making lay-up shots. Carolyn C. Moore Robert A. Poe Bobbie P. Tester Dale E. Yount Graduate Assistant H.

These courses gave students a chance to choose the math courses which best fitted into'their curriculum. The new modern math also offered a new challenge. It was based on the logical method of solving math problems. Math students really got into the swing of this new math since this was the second year it was offered at W.H.S. Two years of math were required for a diploma. Bill Brown Linda M. Harwood B. BROWN-—Algebra I, General Math, and Consumer Math. M.A., A.S.U.

Burgess Science Experiments Lead To Greater Learning A student could just name an interest and he would be sure to find it or some aspect of it in science. The amaz- ing discoveries by men in the past reveal unbelievable possibilities for the future. The modern laboratory facili- ties of the school permitted students to learn through ex- periments. All experiments were supervised by the in- structors of the courses to insure complete safety. The science department offered courses such as physics, biolo- gy, chemistry, general science, and senior science. Mr. Lewis Coffey distributes report cards to anxious students most of whom anticipate their g rade before seeing it. 28 Linda Trivette studies a slide under one of the new microscopes given to the biology department during the year.

In order to solve a problem, Carolyn Saunders records and then studies results of an experiment she is performing. 29 Steve Masten asks Mrs. Bryant of the Northwestern Bank pertinent questions regarding the cost of travelers cheques. The Business Education Department helped many stu- dents decide on careers in business. They did so by offer- ing courses in bookkeeping, typing, office practice, short- hand, and business math. The teachers stressed speed, ac- curacy and neatness. All this was done in order to devel- op a good background for future secretaries and businessmen. The department also proved beneficial to many college-bound students interested in majoring in business. They took the above courses for pre-college training and to gain experience. The Northwestern Bank guide finds an attentive audience in Craig Min- cey, Randy Vines, and Mrs. Auten, the bookkeeping teacher. Painiviie 30 - a is P Linda Welch, Lona Stevens, Betty Wheeler, Mary Watson, Eva Mae Potter, and Glenda Brown complete assignments in business.

Future homemakers acquired skills in home manage- ment, wardrobe, budget planning, nutrition, and child- care. As they learned these things, their pride in themselves and their accomplishments increased. Home Economics IV was added to the department in 1967-68. This course —offered to senior girls who had not taken home econom- ics previously—covered different phases of homemaking. Joyce C. Davis Girls in the home economics class learn the essentials of good cooking and baking as they make a cake “from scratch.” 32 One of those new, exciting recipes is attempted by Kathy Wheeler as she prepares a meal in the home economics laboratory.

Shipley Agriculture and Bricklaying were designed for boys seeking vocational training. Agriculture gave them an in- sight into what farming is really like. These students made various trips to farmhouses and the tobacco ware- houses, which aided their farming instruction. Bricklaying was added to the vocational department this year. From this class the students could enter the ever widening field of masonry. The classes went on many field trips and re- ceived instructions and first-hand information. Edward Greene demonstrates the use of welding equipment as he makes a project for agriculture class. Mr. Robert Coffey helps Jimmy Glenn, Dale Tester, and Eddie Bentley with projects they are completing. R. COFFEY—Bricklaying I. R.

Talents Tested In Drawing And Woodworking Architectural drawing, machine drawing, architectural rendering and different fields of drafting were taught in Mechanical Drawing. From this course clear, concise and logical thinking, neatness, and proficiency in the subject matter were developed. Carpentry gave the boys a chance to gain enough knowledge to continue a career as a carpenter without a college education. Many well-constructed cabinets were made by boys in this class. After being in this class, stu- dents were allowed to pursue interests in their chosen fields of vocational employment. Glenda Lewis and Mr. Harwood study a problem in mechanical draw- ing in order to be able to produce a scaled house plan. 34 Roger L. Harwood John C. Smith R.

C.J. and Auto Mechanics Solves Boys’ Questions In order for Dean Greene and Terry Triplett to learn to repair their own cars, Mr. Robert Davis shows them parts of a motor. Every boy is curious about what makes a machine run. Boys of Watauga High were given a chance to satisfy their curiosity in Construction Industries and start with a block of wood and construct innumerable objects. Auto Mechanics I consisted of textbook instruction and the re- pair of small motors. Auto Mechanics II gave the stu- dents a chance to try their skills at repairing various mo- tors. The “guinea pigs” were furnished by students and teachers. It is evident that Forest Moretz has worked diligently by the success of the gun-rack he has built. Robert W. Davis Darrell G. Ward R.

Introduction to Vocational Education, a class offered to freshmen, enabled them to explore job opportunities available to them now and in the future. Distributive Ed- ucation I and II were offered to juniors and seniors. This program provide instruction for those students interested in the services necessary for the transporation of consum- er goods. Industrial Cooperative Training I and II gave students on-the-job training in fields of their choice. With skills from these vocational classes, students were able to find better jobs immediately after high school graduation. On-Spot Training Beneficial To Students JAMES D. BARKER-1.C.T.

Adult Education Gives Community Opportunity Here the men are doing body rotations in the men’s physical fitness class in an effort to become more slender around the waist. 38 Under the direction of Mr. Doughton Greene, the adults of Watauga County were given an opportunity to increase their knowledge by going to night school. The classes were held at night at Watauga High School. The instruction was offered to graduates and non-graduates of high school. Non-graduates were given the chance to earn a diploma. The classes offered were made possible through Caldwell Technical Institute. Instruction was given in physical education, in business, and in vocational courses. Jumping-jacks are well known by all people who take a course in physi- cal fiftness. These men don’t seem to mind them very much. Mr. Robert Coffey passes out registration forms to men planning to take the bricklaying course offered in adult education. WRAP iia Dic Arm rotations are done with vigor in order to strengthen the arm and shoulder muscles of these men enrolled in physical fitness. Mr: Robe rt Coffey laughs at a comment from one of his students. It is very similar to those made by his teen-age students. “One-two-touch-your toes.” This familiar call echoed off the walls of the gymnasium as adult students tried to touch their toes. Mr. Robert Coffey checks over the registration papers the men in his adult education class have just completed. Bookkeeper, y Mrs. Gladys Shelton busily counts the school’s money before she pre- pares a deposit slip and takes the money to the bank. Mrs. Norma Wilcox helps a student locate a book he needs. This is one of her “non-secretarial” jobs in the library. Secretaries Keep School Records Mrs. Gladys Shelton was the bookkeeper for Watauga High School. Her responsibility was to keep the records straight and take care of the money. Miss Wanda Far- thing, Dr. Miller’s secretary, had a job varying from tak- ing dictation to issuing excuses for absentees. Mrs. De- nois Jones, better known as “Mickey,” was the secretary in the guidance office. She assisted the counselors in keeping the permanent records of students up to date. Mrs. Norma Wilcox worked as a secretary in the library and as an assistant librarian. Miss Wanda Farthing prepares a report for Dr. Miller. This is just one of the many tasks she does during a busy school day. Mrs. Mickey Jones brings a student’s permanent record up to date for the guidance office. She also took care of working students’ checks. Tom Frady and Owen Young discuss the best way to fix a defective light switch without cutting off the electrical power. Wille Laing, Danny Phillips, Ott Carter, Martha Carter, Mrs. Wiley Smith (manager), Irene Clawson, Doyce Triplett, and Virginia Brown. Lunchroom And Maintenance Staffs Invaluable Owen Young and Claude Norris take time out of their busy schedule to enjoy a cup of coffee and a conversation. To have good health one must have the proper food and clean surroundings. The lunchroom crew provided the food by offering hot, nourishing meals, made easier by federal assistance. Under the direction of Mrs. Wiley Smith, the dietician, these lunches were always well- balanced. Credit for the cleanliness of the school was given to the maintenance crew. These people were assisted by stu- dents working during their study periods as employees of the school-work program. Mrs. Aldridge, Watauga High School’s maid, inspects a window she has just cleaned. This was just one of her many tasks. 42 Time is a relative subject. When the student’s high school days begin, he knows only a few other students. As he and other students join together in clubs and organizations, each member learns more about people.

The Council served as a clearing house for student opinions and as a means of communications be- tween students and faculty. The chief aim of our Council was to preserve the good name, spirit, and traditions of Watauga High. Homecoming, the magazine sale, and “Operation Christmas Spirit” were the main projects of the Council. With the assistance of the student body, all three activities were a success. Student body president Sandra Cook fulfills one of her many duties by counting money collected from the magazine sale. Student Council members listen attentively as Beth Lawrence reads profiles of students nominated for “Citizen-of-the-Month.” This aided the Council in making their decisions. - 45 INTER-CLUB COUNCIL The Inter-Club Council was a newly organized club at W.H.S. Its purpose was to promote better relations be- tween the various clubs within the school and to co-or- dinate the functions and activities of each club. The Council examined each of the club’s constitutions to see if it was valid. The Intramural program at Watauga was organized and sponsored by the Inter-Club Council which purchased the trophies given to the most valuable player and the championship team. Both girls’ and boys’ intramurals were sponsored by the Council. The intramurals program was the main project of the Inter-Club Council, which purchased trophies for the championship teams.

During meetings the debate members engaged in debates and forensics with each other. Students who joined the Debating Society worked on improving their public speaking. The club assisted stu- dents in mastering the techniques of debate. The most important purpose was to teach students to repect the opinions of others and their right to hold them. 47 Lo Ze she ie ee pe SASS Oa GS. } D ei 4 a PO a MUSKET STAFF. Seated.

The MUSKET homeroom representatives assisted the staff in collecting payments from the students for yearbooks. Vacation and after-school days found the staff hard at work. The job of the staff did not end with taking pic- tures; it just began there. Drawing layout; writing cap- tions, copy, and headlines; and cropping pictures were just a few of the duties of the staff. All efforts were aimed toward the August distribution date. 48 After totaling the MUSKET advertising income figures, business man- ager Ray Moretz decides that more work must be done. a os .

Although some students dreaded to write, others enjoyed it; as a result, some very fine papers were written. The VANGUARD staff asked each teacher to turn in any exceptional themes they received. Students were also given an opportunity to turn in poems or short stories that they had written outside of class. The literary magazine, pub- lished annually, includes only the works of Watauga High students. Students with art talent were able to display their ability in illustrations which were used in the VANGUARD. aS Front Row. Miss Delila Lesley, Sponsor; Paula Steele, Editor-in-Chief.

Included in the paper were sports activities, features, and editorials, “Citizen-of- the Month,” ‘“‘Teacher-of-the-Month,” and school] activities that were scheduled for the future. Long hours and hard work all went into the publication of the POWDER HORN for W.HLS. students. The newspaper was distributed each nine weeks of the 1968 school year. The POWDER HORN served as a means through which students could know their school. 51 BAND Practice! This is what the members of the W.H.S. band heard from the beginning of marching season until the end of concert season. The “Marching Pioneers” per- formed at all the football games; they attended “Band Day” at Wake Forest University; and they marched in the Asheville Christmas Parade. The W.HL.S. concert band gathered all their knowledge of musical composition, vocabulary, and interpretation and traveled to Greensboro for the state contest, where the band earned an “Excellent” rating.

The majorettes began practice for the school year dur- ing the summer, but practice did not end with twirling.

It gave the members a chance to see what other students were doing and to examine various forms and styles of art. Each member of the Art Club was encouraged to exhibit his work and to enter contests. Various members of the club received awards for their art work. The chief aim of the Art Club was to establish an art department at Wa- tauga High School. 58 Drama Club Utilizes Play Recordings And Skits i ech Drama Club member Jesse Langdon (left) performs in “I’m a Fool,” one of the three one-act plays presented by the senior class.

Stresses Business As Field To Enter FBLA The business world of today is challenging, tedious, and rigorous; and it presents a diversified and intriguing field for young people to enter. Watauga’s students began preparation for this field by joining the FBLA as well as by taking such courses as typing, shorthand, book- keeping, and office practice. The members of Future Business Leaders of America learned as much from their monthly programs as they did from classroom work. Business leaders from the com- munity gave talks and presented interesting facts which showed the students that tomorrow’s business positions must be filled by today’s students. The FBLA emphasizes the importance of being well trained and quali- fied when the time comes to apply for an office position. 61 F.H.A. Teaches Home And F.H.A. The Future Homemakers of America had _ three objectives: to stress the importance of the development of each individual; to understand, respect, and appreciate the heritage, customs, and beliefs of all the peoples of the world; and to strive to conserve the natural beauty around us. Each Future Homemaker had as her club duty to perform some task which would result in her home and community being more attractive. During the meetings the girls dis- cussed the various phases of homemaking. Front Row.

Members Gain Valuable Farming Skills ieEeAS CLUB The Future Farmers of America club’s main objective was to seek out students’ potential and help them explore vocational opportunities in the field of farming. Quite a number of boys showed interest in agriculture. This interest was increased by field trips, club discussions, and experience. The main project of the F.F.A. was to help Mr. Robert Shipley with the Cove Creek Horse Show, held in the fall of the school year. Many of the boys gained a significant amount of farming knowledge by being a member of the club. Future farmers learned some of the basic fundamentals of farm life through experimentation during regular club meetings. 63 Front Row. Sarah Hodges, Marilyn Hicks, Evelyn Shelton, Chery!

Students Reveal Interests In Health Careers HEALTH CAREERS CLUB The Health Careers Club attempted to bring together those students who expressed an interest in any one of the many careers related to health and health services. Through various programs, talks, and projects, these students be- came better equipped to decide accurately and wisely exact- ly what area they were interested in. As one of the club’s projects, the members journeyed to Morganton to Western Carolina Center, a school for the mentally retarded; and, at Christmas, they presented the children there with several gifts. 64 Mrs. Harrill discusses a possible health services career which Mary Hartley might pursue after high school graduation. Job Training Prepares Students For Future DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION CLUB The Distributive Education Club members received training by setting up a concession stand at home basketball games. From this project, experience was gained in pur- chasing supplies, setting up the selling area, and selling concessions. Each member of the club attended school for half a day and worked out in town half a day. This training helped to develop future leaders for marketing and distribution. Dur- ing regular meetings, the D.E. Club members discussed the advantages of on-the-job training. Group discussions led by D.E.

Girls who had lettered in varsity cheer- leading and basketball were eligible for membership in the club. The Monogram Club helped to make the Pioneers’ homecoming a success by selling mums decorated in school colors. The club also made Christmas at W.H.S. more en- joyable by furnishing Christmas wreaths for the school. The Girls’ Monogram Club encouraged girls to participate in school activities. Christmas wreaths were furnished by the Girls’ Monogram Club to add to the “Spirit of Christmas” at Watauga High School. Lettermen’s Club Builds Christian Athletes PELLTERMENS CLUB The purposes of the Lettermen’s Club were to develop the minds and attitudes of athletes, to improve the athletic pro- gram, and to build better Christian athletes. Early in the year the senior members received jackets symbolic of mem- bership in the Lettermen’s Club. The Lettermen earned money by sponsoring the All- American Redhead game. They also sold emblems to stu- dents as a money-making project. At each basketball game the members took turns sitting at the gym doors to make sure none took concessions into the gym. The All-Ametican Redhead—W.H.S. faculty basketball game was spon- sored by the Lettermen to raise money for seniors’ jackets. Front Row.

The club was responsible for chartering buses to “away” foot- ball and basketball games. They were responsible for making the annual homecoming a success by presenting a skit at a pep rally and decorating every student’s car with the school colors. The school was rewarded for its good sportsmanship by receiving the annual conference sportsmanship trophy.

SKI CLUB When the snows came last winter, many students were content to stay at home and watch television—but not the members of the Ski Club. The skiers, at the first sign of snow, prepared to go the ski slopes. The group was com- posed of both beginners and advanced skiers; but, no matter what the ability of the skier, each member of the club enjoyed himself.

Bus Drivers, Wildlife Club, Serve Community BUS DRIVERS The safety of students traveling to and from school falls into the hands of the bus drivers. The bus drivers were a very responsible group of young men and women. Not only were they in charge of the safety of students, but they also had to know how to take care of their buses. Each driver was responsible for the cleaning of his bus, minor mechanical repairs, and putting chains on in snowy weather. Although the bus drivers did have a difficult job, there was no problem in finding responsible drivers for the school. WILDLIFE CLUB. Front Row.

The club helped to stimulate the desire to take pride in and enjoy the wildlife sur- rounding Watauga County. The members of the Wildlife Club were acquainted with not only different forms of wildlife but also the game laws which protect these ani- mals. The members, who built bird feeders for various communities, were taught safety and good hunting habits and were responsible for obeying all the laws concerning wildlife.

The Backbone Of Watauga: “School Spirit” The “backbone” of Watauga is the spirit shown through the spectators. This year the community attend- ed the games, thereby giving the Pioneers a fine cheering section. The cheerleaders, under the direction of Miss Delila Lesley, sponsor, and Jane Dougherty, chief, devot- ed much time and effort toward aiding the spectators in learning cheers to support their teams. During the 1967-68 school year, both the spectators and the cheerleaders did an excellent job in boosting the morale of Watauga High School’s Pioneers. JAYVEE CHEERLEADERS.

Triplett wins the toss and receives brief instruc- tions from the referees before the game begins. While their teammates awaited their turn, the linemen, guided by Coach Bob Poe, went through their daily drills to improve their agility and to increase their speed at “firing out” and keeping low. The backs also went through drills to increase their speed, timing, and reflexes. In groups, they ran through plays to eliminate possible mistakes and to time the plays to the split second. Under the direction of the coaching staff, the Pioneers benefited from these gridiron practices. The spectators’ attention is focused on the field while the cheerleaders have a conference to determine the next cheer. 4 19 i So Close And Yet So Far Away! Hickory fumbles! At once, the Watauga Pioneers dash By the look on the faces of Coach Curlee, Coach Poe, Coach Lentz, and to recover the loose ball. Coach Yountz, we can assume they are pondering a victory. Though they receive much opposition from Hickory players, the Pi- oneers force the ball on through the Hickory lines. Pioneers Score Near-Miss In Hickory Game Tommy Dotson blocks excellently for Terry Taylor as Terry strives to gain more valuable yardage in order to defeat the Hickory team. David Profitt and Graig Rigsby reflect the “backbone” of the Pioneers by playing the game as much on the bench as on the field. Watauga approached the season’s “big game” with hopes of gaining a victory. Rough practices during the preceding weeks enabled the Pioneers to play good de- fense and to block well. Bad breaks and mistakes mount- ed gainst the Pioneers as they endlessly struggled to reach the goal line. Still, the hard practices paid off as the Pioneers held Hickory to a one-touch-down margin— a near-miss for Watauga.

The first game with Beaver Creek was an upset, but the Pi- oneers came home for the next game and revenged the score. The next four games proved to be the hottest with victories over Newton Conover, Taylorsville, Morganton, and Hudson. The games with Wilkes Central and Hud- son were the roughest as they barely squeezed by the Pi- oneers. The season closed with seven more losses and five more wins to end with a 10-10 record. There is a fight for the rebound, and the Watauga Pioneers take the ball right out of the hands of the Taylorsville player. Front Row.

This year the Lady Pioneers had the best season ever in the history of Watauga High School. Knowing the rough competition that they would face, Coach Yount and his team drilled exceedingly hard to gain more victo- ries. The vigorous drills, hard practices, and repetition of plays paid off as the Lady Pioneers ended their season with 7 wins and 11 losses, a triumph over the past two years’ records. Next year the Lady Pioneers look forward to a very successful season and hope to improve their record. An opponent comes out “second best” in a struggle with Beth for a loose ball.

A heartbreaker came on December 15 when they lost their first game on their home court in the history of WHS to Newton-Conover. Their spirits were aroused by the next game with Taylorsville which turned out to be a victory. A second home defeat came on January 5 as they were defeated by Morganton. The end of the season brought a team record of 8-13. Coach Lentz is “coaching from the sidelines” while managers Wayne Henson and Arthur Flowers patiently await the outcome. As the spectators look on, Dwight Ruppert does a jump-shot from the corner for another two points for Watauga Pioneers. 87 Competition was rough, but still the Pioneers did their best and kept the undivided attention at all times of the enthusiastic spectators from Watauga County.

With hard work and determination, Butch won fourth place in his 112-pound weight class, and Danny won first place in his 133-pound weight class. o5 Boys Loosen Up During Pre-Match Warm-Up The Watauga High School Pioneer wrestlers practiced long and hard to put themselves in good physical condi- tion and to perfect the skills required for wrestling. Be- fore each practice and match, they went through a series of exercises and drills to loosen up their muscles and to help improve their physical stamina.

Students have fun and gain knowledge through dances, dates, lunchtime gath- erings, intramurals, and chatting. Everyday life is the most valuable part of the school because through this phase of activity students get to know each other. SGUDENG LIFE 107 yy eS Cr On OO There is a lot of confusion as these freshmen look for their homeroom numbers on their first day at Watauga High. After finding their names on the lists, they will report to homeroom to hear the day’s schedule and begin the first of four years at WHS. As usual, school opened this year with students show- Bill Ragan, Lowell Cook, Dan Williams, and Sandy Cook enthusi- ing the usual emotions of fear, excitement, and curiosity. astically search through the 1967 MUSKET on distribution night. There was much commotion as students gathered in the lobby to renew acquaintances and see if their best friends had the same homeroom. Officers were chosen to lead their classes in the year’s various events. Parades, school pictures, and the daily routine of simply settling down and concentrating on studies kept everyone quite busy. And so, another year at Watauga High School was off to full swing. 108 Yearbook Distribution Starts Eventful Year “Not tired are you, Jane?” Greta Houck, Jane Deas, and Martha Young assist the photographer in taking the annual school portraits. “Who’s your homeroom teacher?” asks senior Margaret Winkler as she registers Brenda Ward for class elections. The cheerleaders and mascot Dan Williams find it quite chilly as they march in Appalachian University’s homecoming parade. 109 Lunch Period Reveals Phases Of Everyday Life Jump high, girls! Your skill determines whether or not you will be elect- ed to the junior varsity cheerleading squad. Members of Watauga High’s student body find that a ball game is a time to relax and enjoy being excused from classes. Lunchtime gives students time to sit around in the lobby to talk over the latest news and listen to the latest records. The time between classes at W.H.S. was a period dur- ing which students’ personalities came through. One of the everyday happenings this year was lunch- time, during which students gathered together and talked, studied, or listened to the latest pop records. Athletic events gave students a chance to be with other class- mates, to learn good sportsmanship, and to see athletic skill displayed. Above-the-knee skirts, clothes of the pop- ular psychedelic colors, checked and monogrammed pants, and long hair were in style this year. 110 Ann Billings and Steve Masten were typical examples of the year’s styles. Skirts got shorter, hair got longer, and romance still prevailed during the 1967-68 school term at W.H.S. Lunch is not too bad today; in fact, Alma Greer seems to be enjoying her meal as she waits for a friend to join her in the gayly colored school lunchroom. r 111 Male Recaptures Leadership At Watauga High Once again the halls of Watauga High School were bedecked with posters urging faculty and students to vote for their student body officers. Elected from a group of seventeen capable candidates were: Paul Miller, Presi- dent; Jackie Henson, Vice President; Sharron Johnson, Secretary; and Susan Lawrence, Treasurer. John Rainey and Jerry Hayes, in charge of registration, made sure that voters had met the requirement of regis- tering before being allowed to vote. Sixty-five percent of the students and 94 percent of the faculty voted. A senior drops her ballot into the box after making the tough decision of whom she will vote for to lead the ’68-’69 students. Posters such as this lined the walls of W.H.S. as a means of encouraging students to vote for the candidates of their choice. LOD EU Future president Paul Miller promises “ . . . to represent each of the stu- dents of this school to the best of my ability.” 112 Magazine Sale Tops Last Year’s Sale By $1,000 Watauga High students sold some $9,100 worth of magazines in the year’s annual magazine sale. The budget based on the success of the magazine sale in- cluded, among other things, the purchase of a choral shell, miscroscopes for the science department, and a dark ro om equipped for the yearbook staffs use. The freshman class sold the most magazines. The three top salesmen were junior Randy Marsh, senior Randall Thomas, and freshman Dorinda Moretz. The winner of the drawing for $25 was freshman Ann Brigham. Sandra Cook challenges Pam Winkler, saying that she will have to roll an egg down the gym floor with her nose if the juniors lose. Stuffed animals, a tape recorder, radios, and a camera stand on display to encourage students to get out and sell magazines. These prizes will be presented to high salesmen. 113 A Victorious Game And Successful Dance Are Sandy Cook and Melinda Robinson wonder if they will ever get the lobby and themselves ready for Watauga High School’s third Homecoming Dance. What could have brought a more joyous homecoming than the Pioneer’s Bob McNeely and other students and alumni swing into action under 33-0 victory over the Valdese Tigers? the decorated goalpost of the Watauga Pioneers. 114 The Spirit Of Watauga’s °67 Homecoming A large crowd turns out for the spirit-building bonfire sponsored by the Pep Club for Homecoming. The 1967 Homecoming at Watauga was made success- ful by the Pioneers’ grid victory over the Valdese Tigers. During half time, the band gave an excellent perfor- mance, with “A Mod, Mod World” as its theme. While the band was performing, the Homecoming Court was presented. Approximately 300 students, alumni, and faculty at- tended the Homecoming Dance to celebrate the team’s victory and renew acquaintances in the lobby decorated to resemble a football field. Music was furnished by the Transistor Tangerines, a popular local group.

Although sponsored by the freshman class, students from all classes attended. A couple of seniors, Elma Wood and Mark Richardson, attend their last Sweetheart Dance as members of Watauga High’s student body. The Sweetheart Dance, the only major dance spon- sored by the freshman class, involved a great deal of hard work but was a lot of fun. The lobby was gaily dec- orated in red and white streamers, with a huge heart in the center. Cupids and valentines covered the walls. The tables, placed around the walls, were covered in white, with red candles and hearts adding color. Under the su- pervision of Mr. Moretz, class sponsor, and Mrs. Wells, in charge of decorations, this year’s Sweetheart Dance at Watauga was a big success. 118 Outsiders Allowed To Attend Christmas Dance Watauga High students, alumni, and outside friends gather together at the 67 Christmas Dance to celebrate and share the spirit of Christmas.

The lobby was decorated according to the Christ- mas spirit with a huge, lighted tree decorated by senior volunteers. Tables covered in white, with red candles, pine cones, and holly produced a colorful atmosphere. Students were allowed to bring outside friends with them, although special permission had to be obtained. The Undecideds, a group composed of Watauga students, pause for a moment to catch a breath and decide on the next selection to play. 119 Intramurals Boost Student-Teacher Relations Sponsored by the Inter-Club Council, this year’s bas- ketball intramurals provided well-organized activity each week for all students wishing to participate. Approxi- mately sixty boys and twenty girls participated. Sponsors of the boys’ teams were Mr. Jack Evans and Greg Nichols. Sponsoring the girls’ teams were Mrs. Carolyn Moore and Margaret Winkler.

Couples entered the student lobby by crossing arched bridges and following a brick path through the formal garden and under a trellis. An old south- ern mansion provided an appropriate background for cou- ples who danced to music furnished by the Ambassadors from Appalachian State University. The junior class, of which Mrs. Eppley was head sponsor, saw their long, hard work pay off in success. 124 Students and faculty gather around the tables inside the southern mansion, helping themselves to cake and punch prepared by juniors.

Presenting the invocation at the bacca- laureate service was Rev. Gilbert Goodman. Rev. A. C. Moody delivered the sermon to graduates. The benedic- tion was pronounced by Rev. J. Richard Holshouser. The theme of the 1968 graduation was “A World of Our Own,” which encouraged departing students to find a place in the world and to make the best of it. After the presentation of diplomas, another group of graduates went out to find a place in “their” world.

They passed their ap- prenticeship and became the journeymen. They shud- dered at P.S.A.T., but they learned to take tests without panic. They griped about homework and upperclass or- ders, but they carried on the work. They took pride in making the Junior-Senior the best prom ever for the de- parting class. They assumed the mantle of responsibility which they wear now as Seniors. They taught the under- classmen and served the seniors, gradually learning to step more maturely each year.

This was the year of anticipation, honor, and glory. All have known the fear of College Boards, the anxiety over college acceptance, and the apprehension before semester exams. Seniors experienced sadness as they realized that the last football game and the last pep rally of their high school years were over. Seniors were the guests rather than the hosts at the Junior-Senior Prom. Climaxing twelve years of hard work, the seniors reached graduation aware of the fact that they approached an end as well as a beginning. Bowman Seniors Now Claim W.H.S.

is complet- ed. In the process of production, plans were changed, hopes were shattered—only the work remained constant. To each of us on the MUSKET staff, this book is what some people might term a miracle. It is our final attach- ment to Watauga, and it goes with the hope that each of you enjoys it. To the faculty and students of W.HLS., a big “Thank you!” Without you and your cooperation this book would not have been possible. A special thanks to our adviser who, with us, felt the tension and worry over Volume III of the MUSKET. We have included the dances, athletic events, final ex- ams, and elections with a hope that in years to come—af- ter the youthful enthusiasms fade—it will cause a smile and an “I remember... .” This year of 1967-68 is cap- tured in the MUSKET and only you—the students and faculty—can tell if we have been successful. All we can say is, “We tried to cover the year for you!” —Jane and Katie am (Ae a = STE DA AUR MIR OS SE EEE coe chee
