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.
