In the fall of 1965, the first senior class began the foundation of this process which has been added to and improved upon with each successive year, resulting in a stronger Watauga. Succeeding in some endeavors, failing in others, completing a goal or falling short, installing new ideas, abandoning set patterns — these were transmitted to the young school. The seniors represented the culmination of four years of accomplishments. Watauga’s first four-year class reached the destination established by the 1966 class. The first epoch of the school’s history has materialized. Old Ties and Loyalties Toward One Goal Individuals have contributed to making Watauga what it is today, but more is owed to those who support her and will continue to do so. Striving to be a whole body is difficult, for the old ties to the five separate schools that were merged to create Watauga High School hamper any feeling of unity. Yet, these loyalties to the past bind the students to Watauga — they have the determination to be unparalleled and the optimism that is required for success. Unity is recognized in the unique sentiment felt for the finished product of the combination of schools. After four years, completeness is realized. Watauga’s Advancement Comes From Involvement Involvement was another component of the success of Watauga High School. By participation in class projects, athletic and club functions, or art and music activities, stu- dents began to appreciate Watauga’s offerings and to take advantage of these opportunities to develop their own poten- tials. Each personal achievement added to the school’s en- richment. Obligations were made and fulfilled, resulting in a feeling of one’s responsibility for Watauga’s advancement. The cornerstone for the years to come was laid when those who cared enought to be committed to furthering Watauga High School’s progress became involved. Every building process contains, as an integral part, an established educational background. The faculty and adminis- tration of Watauga High School were contributors to the academic forces behind the school’s prosperity. Any advances made in education were initiated in the curriculum for the benefit of the students. The responsibility of leading, guiding, and molding students was not taken lightly. Watauga has provided a good foundation for the posterity of the 1966 class . Experienced faculty members are able to cope with and understand each difficulty and design a suitable routine to fit each individual.

Watauga High School has completed the first cycle of its life. Out of a melange of mistakes, achievements, experiments and events, there emerges the first four-year graduating class. The 1969 seniors are the “keystone” class — a group whose personal success marks the success of Watauga as a consoli- dated school.

Comprised of seventy-two staff members and twelve course areas, the program offered to each student the opportunity to chose the area in which his interests and capabilities could be combined. OLMIS 37 Many Avenues of Cooperation Benefit Students In 1965 an agreement between the Watauga County Board of Education and the trustees of Appalachian State University was arrived at to promote cooperative efforts between the two institutions in operating the new Watauga High School. Among the reciprocal activities were supplements paid by the University to the faculty salaries. The University provided to Watauga the use of Conrad Stadium for home football games. The University students were provided an area for practice teaching and observations of a typical classroom at work. These many avenues of cooperation benefitted both schools. Dr. William H. Plemons, president of Appalachian State University, worked with the board of education to adjust WHS and ASU activities, Mrs. Beverly Hawkins’ English 1V class listens attentively as she de- scribes different types of magazines to Linda Phillips and Charles Greer. Mrs. Coleen Trexler, graduate assistant from A.S.U., teaches a consumer math class the fundamentals of math that can be used everyday. TYPES OF MAGAZINES 38 Angell Resigns As County School Superintendent W. Guy Angell, who served Watauga County as school superintendent for almost fourteen years, contributed a great deal of planning and work for the new consolidated high school. The authority for major decisions pertaining to the educa- tional program of Watauga High School rested with the Wa- tauga County Board of Education—three men elected by the voters of the county—and a superintendent, appointed by the Board. These men prepared the school calendar, reviewed the . budget, and made any long-range plans that were deemed necessary. After serving as superintendent of schools since August, 1955, and seeing the new high school open its doors, W. Guy Angell resigned his position January 15, 1969, to become the administrator of Blowing Rock Hospital and Extended Care Center. WATAUGA COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION. Hugh Hagaman; Mack Brown, Chairman; H. W. Mast; W. Guy Angell, Superintendent. ae) Principals Keep Close Watch on All Activities Dr. N. A. Miller, Watauga’s principal, and Mr. Carl Fidler, assistant principal, had the difficult job of maintaining school order. By keeping a close watch on all Watauga’s activities, these two men had the day-to-day task to correcting young offenders and of entertaining visitors to the school. Schedules were worked out and later adjusted by Dr. Miller. Mr. Fidler was in charge of buses and the safe arrival and departure of students who drove their cars. Both men were ready and willing to listen to students and faculty members and to help in the prevention or solution of their problems. Assistant principal Carl Fidler was in charge of student discipline and of all matters pertaining to bus and automobile transportation. Mr. Fidler, secretary Martha Calloway, and Dr. Miller display their personal pride in the school’s football conference championship trophy. Completing his fourth year as principal, Dr. “Andy” Miller has seen the feeling of unity and pride which has taken place in the school. 40 Guidance and Health Services Play Major Roles Office Personnel Mrs. Gladys Shelton, the school’s bookkeeper, was respon- sible for balancing the books and taking care of all monies turned in to the office. Mrs. Martha Calloway and Miss Wanda Farthing also helped by typing daily calendars, issuing absentee admit slips for students, and answering the phone to take the numerous personal and official messages for the school. In the Guidance Office, Mrs. Mickey Jones kept the permanent files on all students at Watauga for the counselors’ use. The librarian-teacher aide, Mrs. Norma Wilcox, had duties in the library ranging from secretarial to reference librarian. Miss Wanda Farthing types the morning bulletin for the next school day. All coming events for the day are included on these bulletins. The guidance counselors, Mrs. Grace B. Mast and Mrs. Margaret M. Gragg, and the school nurse, Mrs. Lois E. Harrill, find few moments of rest. As the school’s bookkeeper, Mrs. Gladys E. Shelton finds that a great deal of cooperation is required between the office and other personnel Counselors and Nurse If any student needed advice concerning his schedule or future plans, he was welcome anytime in the offices of Watauga’s two guidance counselors, Mrs. Grace Mast and Mrs. Margaret Gragg. As a help to seniors and juniors, the guidance counselors planned “Career Night” and “College Night,” designed to provide information about schools in North Carolina and courses that each offered. Mrs. Harrill, serving as the school nurse, was always avail- able to advise students on any health problems. She also sponsored discussions on “Family Living” during study halls. Mrs. Denoris (‘‘Mickey”’) Jones, is the secretary in the guidance office. Nourishment and Cleaniness Stressed at WHS wlll LUNCHROOM STAFF. Front Row. Mrs. Ressie Smith, Manager; Virginia Brown, Doyce Triplett. Back Row. Ott Carter, Martha Carter, Danny Phillips, Willie Laing. Providing the students of Watauga High School with well- balanced and inexpensive meals was the task of the lunchroom staff last year. Mrs. Wiley Smith, dietitian, and her assistants provided more than eleven hundred students with meals, partially financed by federal assistance. Credit for the cleanliness and the ability of the school to run smoothly mechanically was given to the maintenance crew. These people, assisted by students working during their study halls, provided the students with sparkling windows, clean furniture, and an immaculate environment. In keeping drinking facilities sanitary, Mrs. Charlotte Al- dridge performs one of her many duties as the school’s maid. Tom Frady, school custodian in charge of all maintenance, checks one of the building’s fire hydrants to make sure it is in working order. 42 Johnny Cornett, library assistant, stamps Larry Cornett’s library book as Deloyce Greene makes sure that Larry signs the library card. Pauline C. Angell Lera B. Randall Library Aides Good Thinking and Learning Habits The library was a service agency, a teaching agency, a book center, and a reading center. It had no distinct subject matter itself but provided material for all subjects and the interests of pupils and teachers. In the library the books and materials to satisfy the interests and meet the needs of pupils and teachers were organized, cataloged, shelved, and displayed soas to be easily found and used. The library aided in developing good thinking and learning habits. Mrs. Randall, head librarian, and Mrs. Angell, assisted by Mrs. Wilcox, teacher aide, were available when students needed library materials. As Keith Proffit eyes his Sadie Hawkins outfit, Mr. Boyden Atwood relaxes by reading a magazine in the reading section of the library. Larry Pitts and Dinah Mitchell make use of the school library’s varied selection of reference books and other available materials. Norma B. Wilcox Teacher Aide 43 English Stresses Need for Better Communications Margaret E. Agle Laura F. Church Elizabeth E. Elliot Judy H. Ellison Because improved communication is essential, the English Department concentrated its efforts on improving the ability of students to read, write, listen, and speak effectively. It was the aim of the department to equip students with the know- ledge cope with written and oral problems encountered. To emphasize the importance of the proper communication skills, the state requires each student to take four years of English. Oral book reports, term papers, class discussions, extempor- aneous speeches, and debates were a few of the methods employed by teachers in furthering their students’ knowledge of English. Mary F. Elvey Beverly C. Hawkins Graduate Assistant Grace M. Johnston Billie E.

English teachers, like Miss Peterson, enjoyed their share of the “Sadie Hawkins Day” fun and “acting ” up. Georgia A. Yates 45 Foreign Language Teaches Foreign Cultures The Foreign Language Department of Watauga High offered French I and II, Latin I and II, and Spanish I, II, III, and IV. A special project in French I was the teaching of a class by four graduate students from Appalachian State University under the supervision of Miss Howell from Appalachian. Among the various cultural activities of the Foreign Language Department were foreign plays, authentic meals, native dances, guest speakers who talked about customs and education in foreign countries, and audio visual aids to assist students in seeing what the various foreign countries are really like. French students Evelyn Shelton, Donald Winebarger, and Jane Parker listen to the French experts repeat a dialogue that they must learn. Miss Stiles, French teacher, helps Sarah Coffey translate a paragraph in her text- book. Nestor Moises Calderon Hernandez, an ASU student from Venezuela, explains the educational system of his country to a Spanish class. Elizabeth M. King Cynthia L. Stiles Driver Education Encourages Safety on Highways ROC OP He tr gs Bobby F. McConnell Nancy W. Penick Mr. Bobby McConnell and Mrs. Nancy Penick taught sophomores to be responsible, safe, and courteous drivers. The Driver Education course included state requirements of thirty hours of classroom instruction with six additional hours of actual under-the-wheel training and twelve hours of in-the-car observation of the other student drivers. Guest speakers encouraged enthusiasm and interest by presenting driving statistics through the presentation of films and filmstrips as part of the classroom instruction. From this meaningful program, well-informed and alert drivers resulted.

Moore Mathematics was a course that could be used and applied in reference to many other courses. Watauga’s Mathematics Department included courses in general math, Algebra I and II, geometry, advanced math, and consumer math. Time, effort, and precision were required to succeed in many math course. Accuracy and logical reasoning were stressed in the advanced courses while a more practical application was taught to those who needed additional training before attempting more difficult work. Each student could decide his own progress by the way in which he applied himself in his studies. N Coleen A. Trexler Carl F. Roten Graduate Assistant Algebra teacher J. C.

By giving her students time to read in class, Mrs. Janet Burgess, Physical Science teacher, is able to answer many questions that are asked. In order to keep up with the fantastic discoveries that have been made in the field of science, the Science Department of Watauga offered general science, biology, physiology, chem- istry, physics, and senior science. Laboratory exercises, class projects, group discussions, and individual projects acquainted the students with procedures of scientific experimentation and investigation on various le vels. The facilities available in the school were well equipped. Carefully supervised experiments increased the students’ knowledge of laboratory techniques, with emphasis placed on safety. Janet M. Burgess Patricia R. Blanton Map Work Emphasized in Social Studies Classes Doughton L. Greene Claire Z. Mamola Scott Randall and Erik Larson listen as Mr. Walser points out the use of maps and other reference materials in studying world geography. Mr. Adams answers Sandy Simmons’ question about a U.S. history assignment while other students work to complete their homework assignments. J. Dale Walser William C. Ross Robin L. Ulmer Watauga High School’s Social Studies Department pre- sented a variety of courses to students during the 1968-1969 school year. Courses were offered in civics, American history, world history, contemporary affairs, and geography. Since most high school students are deficient in the know- ledge of geography, special emphasis was placed on map work in geography classes. Students learned not only the facts and events that made history, but also how to become better informed American citizens in order to play a significant role in the making of history and in the governing of our country. 50 Physical Education Emphasizes Physical Agility H. Carter Lentz Carolyn C. Moore Stressing physical and mental fitness, the Physical Educa- tion Department provided many activities to assist students in achieving their own goals in good health. The trampoline and tumbling mats and basketball, softball, and baseball equipment were made available to physical education students. A health textbook, accenting safety practices and attitudes, was used to supplement the many sports activities. Freshmen were required to take P.E. I and health. In P.E. I and II, sophomores, juniors, and seniors benefitted from a full weak of planned physical activities. Joey Miller goes through his warm-up exercises on the parallel bars in one of the physical education classes. The boys in Physical Education I enjoy playing basketball while learning techniques required of those who may play varsity ball later. Robert A. Poe Bobbie P. Tester 51 Otis F. Strother James E. Wilson Watauga High School sponsored five choral groups: Girls’ Chorus, Men’s Chorus, Concert Choir, Choral Ensemble, and the Close Harmony Octet. Under the direction of Mr. Eugene Wilson, each choral group was introduced to the general principles of singing, proper procedures in stage performance, and the various types of music. The 72-member band represented the school at pep rallies, football games, district and state band contests, parades, and concerts for the public. Interpretation of music and a good Even “Sadie Hawkins Day” is not excuse enough for clarinet student understanding of basic musical terms was stressed in band. Allen Myers to escape having to practice before meeting his next lesson. Music Provides Chance for Developing Talents Kathy Millsaps, Shirley Barnes, Ruthie Hartley, and Cindy Wood harmonize during rehearsal of the Girls’ Chorus, one of the four vocal groups who performed at various functions dur ing the school year. 52 Students studied art composition by becoming acquainted with the masters of art from ancient times to the present. They also learned to use such skills as perspective drawing, landscaping, portraits and figure drawing, and color harmony and finger paint. Art students were encouraged to display their work in a variety of art contests and shows, both at home and away. The Speech and Drama Department attempted to develop an acquaintance with and an appreciation for dramatics, the theater, and performing. It also emphasized improvement of conversational speech, the study of phonetics, and use of breath support. Mr. Bill Ross prepares to play a record for his speech and drama class. In this class students learn the fundamentals of speaking and acting. William C. Ross Betty C. Wells Governor’s School nominee, Paul Ragan, displays six of the sixteen paintings that were entered in the Governor’s School competition. Art and Drama Courses Encourage Self-Expression EF eee a = ie ee Mrs. Betty Wells, art teacher, checks over the many art projects turned in by her students in an attempt to find some bulletin board displays. 53 Home Economics Prepares Girls for Useful Lives Mrs. Graham gives Pam Miller some individual instruction on a project she has undertaken for credit in the Home Economics I sewing class. Mary A. Graham 54 Joyce S. Davis Kathleen M. Dougherty In home economics, opportunities were offered for exper- ience in home management, housing, preparation of economi- cal but nutritious meals, child care, grooming, and garment construction. The courses also featured lessons in etiquette, selecting wardrobes, and family life. The classes gave teas and receptions to learn the art of entertaining. A special class was offered for seniors who had not studied homemaking previously. The over-all purpose of home economics was to provide opportunities for the individual to prepare herself for a useful and a satisfying personal, family, and community. Mrs. Davis’s Home Economics II class enjoys the hospitality extended at an afternoon tea in the J. B. Winkler home on the Blowing Rock Road. Students Prepare for Future Business Employment The Business Education Department of Watauga High offered instruction in various fields to prepare students for gopd positions in the business world. By offering bookkeeping, typing, office practice, shorthand, business math, and business English, students were aided in planning their careers in the business world; and, as a result, they became more intelligent users of the goods and services of business. Students had an opportunity to use these skills by working in the school office and assisting teachers with clerical work. The knowledge of typing manuscript form aided in the preparation of personal assignments, Janet H. Auten Bobby E. Harmon Harlan E.

Hurd Dorothy Hodges finds that the office machines room serves as a good practice room in which to make up any missed ty pewriting assignments. 55 Carpentry and Bricklaying Classes Build House The carpentry and bricklaying classes at Watauga High School were designed to meet the needs of students who wished to obtain fulltime employment following high school graduation. As their project for the year, they built the framework for the custodian’s house, located at the entrance to the school parking lot. Working from their headquarters at Cove Creek, the brick- laying classes gained much valuable experience through their building projects. They also gained knowledge of bricklaying through classroom study. One of their projects was to brick- veneer and build a fireplace in the school custodian’s house. Robert H. Coffey John C. Smith The carpentry students wind up the first stages of building the school ‘With the framework well under way, the bricklaying and carpentry custodian’s new house by completing the foundation, basement, and classes’ project for the year takes the shape of a real, honest-to-good- floor. ness house. Mr. John Smith’s truck is used to take materials from the school to the students who are working on the custodian’s house. Carpentry work almost completed, bricklaying will soon begin.

Humphries Introduction to Vocations provided an opportunity for freshman students to explore, in a classroom situation their future educational and occupational plans. Industrial Cooperative Training provided classroom in- struction in industrial safety education, consumer economics, and interview training, as well as on-the-job training. Distributive Education offered instruction in retailing and personal salesmanship. This supervised work experience for juniors and seniors, with pay and high school credit, combined morning classroom instruction with afternoon employment.

Moretz SF Industrial Arts Teaches Architectural Designing The Mechanical Drawing curricula included architectural drawing, machine drawing, and different fields of drafting. From this course concise, logical thinking, neatness, and proficiency in the subject matter were developed. During the latter part of the year students were allowed to create and design object and architectural plans. Drafting and Blueprint Reading was designed for students who wished to find employment in the construction industry. It dealt with interpretation of the blueprint process, actual construction, and the implementation of its practical use. Roger L. Harwood The Mechanical Drawing teacher, Roger Harwood, illustrates for Doug- las Petrey the correct technique for drawing a house plan in perspective. Katie Greene, Margaret Barnes, and Debbie Autrey prove that Mechanical Drawing can be as rewarding for girls as for boys. Future housewives will find being able to read house-plans very useful. 58 Vocational Students Explore Job Opportunities Auto mechanics students look on as Larry Hodge prepares to explain how the intricate piece of equipment that they will soon be using works. Auto Mechanics, a three-hour course, covered theory of operation and construction, maintenance, repair, and adjust- ments of automotive components. Construction Industries served as an exploration of and introduction to vocational education. The subject areas studied were mechanical drawing, basic electricity and electro- nics, sheet metal work, and woodworking. Among the subjects offered in the agriculture courses were horticulture, livestock, poultry, crops and soils, and forestry. Students visited farms to get a first-hand view of farm life. These woodworking students are designing and putting a finish on some pieces of wood that will be used for making cabinets and other furniture. James D, Barker Robert W. Davis Robert G.

A student had to consider his own interests and abilities and then decide which clubs offered what he most desired. As student interest increased, the results were indicated by the enrollment and active member participation in each club. Student Council Designates Senior Privileges The Student Council provided an opportunity for students to share in the management of school affairs and to develop good citizenship, and it provided practical experiences in the democratic form of government. By electing qualified home- room representatives, the student body had an active voice in the government of Watauga High School. The magazine sale, “Teacher Appreciation Week,” “Oper- ation Christmas Spirit,” “Senior Privilege Week,” and activities designed to promote better student-faculty relationships were among the more important achievements of the Student Coun- cil. Mr. Carl Wyatt explains how to make Watauga’s ‘Magazine Sale” a success. His campaign accented good salesmanship and persistance.

Few events that took place slipped by the staff photographer, and each event was recorded as the book was compiled and edited. The staffs guided tour of Delmar Publishing Company in Charlotte revealed more precisely the intricate steps that go into yearbook production. Conferences with yearbook com- pany representative Leon Lewis gave the staff new ideas to make the book’s coverage more meaningful. The school’s dark room was used for the first time for developing and printing pictures.

The facilities available in the Art Department acquainted the students more with the different types of opportunities existing in the art field. The club sponsored an art contest which was open to all students at Watauga High. The winning picture in each cate- gory was displayed in the showcase bordering the library. For the first Parent-Teacher-Student Associational meeting, the Art Club displayed paintings and sketches. These remained up the following day for the students to observe and enjoy.

Precision and diligent work were demanded by Mr. Otis Strother, the band’s director, to perfect the performances of Watauga High’s marching band. At pep rallies, football games, holiday programs, and gradu- ation exercises, the band created a mood to suit each event. They participated in the Carrousel Parade in Charlotte; in Wake Forest’s ‘“‘Band Day”’; in the state contest in Greensboro; in Lee s-McRae College’s homecoming; and in Appalachian State University’s homecoming. Mr. Steve Jordon, of ASU, assisted Mr. Strother in leading the group during the fall term. Linda Crouch is dressed in the marching uniform of Watauga’s band.

To unite the clubs and coordinate their activities and pro- jects to benefit the school was the club’s objective. One of the projects was conducting a survey to see how many students were involved in club activities and to see what new clubs were needed or desired by the students. The Inter-Club Council provided ping-pong tables in the student lobby during both lunch periods as a service to the students and faculty.

Included in the pledge are Physical Vitality, Mental Vigor, Moral Strength, Wholesome Personality, Helpfulness, Knowl- edge, and Leadership. These are the qualities needed by any serious and conscientious teacher. Continuing their support of the Korean orphan, Jim Jung Ai, and co-sponsoring with the FBLA the Student Directory— which contained personal information about each student— were major projects of the Future Teachers of America. Members of the Future Teachers of America Club relax and discuss the filmstrip they have just seen entitled “And Gladly Teach,” which explained the important role a teacher plays in child develop- ment. 76 Mrs. Harrill waits patiently for president Melinda Winkler to bring the meeting to order and have the membership roll called, after which she will present a filmstrip on LSD to the group. One of the largest clubs at Watauga High School, the Health Careers Club furnished students who were interested in health-related fields the opportunity to explore and observe first-hand the activities involved in the various fields. The club assisted the Heart Association, the Cancer Society, and the Easter Seals Society in promoting their work. For those interested in working with the mentally retarded, a trip to Western Carolina Center in Morganton provided them with new ideas on the different techniques used in treating the patients and with information on ways to handle various situations.

By promoting appreciation of the joys of home-making, the Future Homemakers of America fostered the value of home economics. The club, while stressing the importance of respec- ting the individual and home, also showed the leadership and involvement one could anticipate in the community. The theme for the past year was citizenship. The issue was discussed in relation to international problems. The club gained valuable knowledge of home-making by first-hand ex- perience and practice sessions. The importance of FHA will continue to grow and be understood as its teachings are applied in the home.

Although this was the chief function of the club, no profit was made from the students’ bus fares. Representation of Watauga’s students at away games was great- ly increased, and much credit for this was given to the Pep Club. As a large club, it contributed much to the vivacity of Watauga.

Girls’ Monogram Club Sells Mums for Homecoming After a club meeting, Tanya Shook (center) discusses the upcoming basketball game with Jane Shearin and Minnie Adams, as Kay Oakes listens. Designed as a service club to the community and school, the Girls’ Monogram Club had as its main purpose the pro- moting of school spirit and sportsmanship. Any girl who lettered in varsity cheerleading or basketball was eligible to join. The club encouraged girls to participate in the athletic programs and school-sponsored activities, with more emphasis on girls’ basketball. This was done in hopes of getting more members on the basketball team which, in turn, would in- crease club membership. The girls also made Homecoming more special by selling blue and white mums as a project for the school year. 86 Lettermen’s Club Earns Money for Senior Jackets Greg Nichols (right) appears to be totally absorbed in pouring drinks while Gales Scroggs (center) gets a Coke for a waiting basketball fan. All lettermen in Watauga’s various sports were members of the Lettermen’s Club. Developing the minds and attitudes of the participators, improving the athletic program, and building better Christian athletes were major objectives of the club. By sponsoring dances and other activities, the club paid for senior letter jackets, signifying senior membership in the club. As a stand-in for the Distributive Club and for a money- . making project, the Lettermen worked at the concession stand at basketball games, selling drinks and popcorn and seeing that no fan succeeded in taking concessions into the gymnasium.

Each player learned the value of teamwork and achievement. The physical and mental capacities of each athlete were tested and strained as the players tasted the discouragement of defeat and the exultation of victory. i ceed eee =e Stig j oe SS WHS Pioneers Win Sportsmanship Runner-Up Trophy The students of Watauga were deeply involved in supporting the team’s efforts to win on the courts at home as well as on opponents’ courts. Behind the success of Watauga High School’s athletic teams was the enthsiastic support given by the cheerleaders, fans, and students. The cheerleaders introduced new cheers and helped the fans learn to be school-spirited without offending the opposing team’s fans. The cheerleaders, under the direction of Miss Delilah Lesley, sponsor, did an excellent job of helping Watauga win the Sportsmanship Runner-up Trophy. The Pioneer games were very well attended by county fans, as well as by parents and students. The pride and support given to the teams bolstered their efforts to win. Several Pioneer fans ‘‘zero in” on the baseball field to watch the Watauga High team struggle for another victory against their opponents. VARSITY CHEERLEADERS. Kneeling. Ollie Jackson, Chief.

Watauga High School proved itself a complete team and demonstrated this on the field. The opening game with Morganton displayed the confidence and enthusiasm the team had. Their winning streak — broken only once by a tie game with Hudson — proved that the Pioneers had conquered all the faults of the previous years. Watauga became, for the first time in the school’s history, Northwestern Conference champions. In the bi-conference play-off, the Pioneers made a few mistakes; these, coupled with bad breaks, resulted in a game loss to Chase High School in the game which closed the school’s season.

After a disappointing opening, the junior Pioneers seemed to alternate wins and losses. In their second game, the Jayvees defeated West Wilkes, 19-0. This game was followed by a loss to Taylorsville; a 12-6 win over Wilkes Central, and two more losses. Of the next four games, they gained a 13-0 win over Avery and a 20-19 win over Maiden. Their constant effort and perseverance resulted in a 4-6 final record.

The 1968-69 basketball season started badly for the Pioneer basketball team. With four consecutive losses showing a de- flating beginning, the varsity team began a winning streak by defeating Beaver Creek High School. This taste of victory profited the team for the remainder of the season as they finished with five consecutive wins, sparked by an upsetting victory over an unbeaten competitor, Avery County High School. The team played Morganton in the conference play-offs and were defeated. Despite the bad breaks, the team demonstrated their superiority in their over-all court performance. 102 As junior Wayne Craig and two Wilkes Central players look on, sophomore Jimmy Baker attempts to add one more point to Watauga’s total with his overhead free throw.

This began a winning streak for the Pioneers as three more opponents—Wilkes Central, Mooresville, and Lenoir—were defeated in decisive victories. The larger teams from Tuscola, Myers Park, and Statesville provided more resistance against Watauga’s matmen; but the team came through again with victories over Central Davidson and Beaver Creek. The boys demonstrated great skill anda knowledge of how to handle themselves, as was evidenced by their successful efforts to win, with much credit going to the coach, Bill Brown.

The regular season play ended and the Pioneers had recorded only one win—against Wilkes Central—to eight losses. There were a few impressively close games, but it seemed that the errors made during critical moments of play were detrimental to any success for the team. The regular pitchers for the team were J. C. Triplett, Terry Triplett, and Wayne Craig. These three boys and Terry Taylor and James Hodges were the leading scorers for Watauga, hitting better than .250 for their season average. Third baseman James Hodges, one of Watauga’s better hitters, connects with seemingly little effort on an opponent’s pitch. Senior J. C.

The intimacy and companionship offered by the get-togethers cheered and matured the students as they learned compatibility in a group relationship. HAN 7) This group of boys, gathered on the student lobby steps, is one of the common sights seen each day during the two 20-minute lunch periods. Between classes, during lunchtime, and at breaks during club meetings, students found time to get together and talk. A general bull session between a group of boys gathered on the steps of the student lobby, two students taking time to ‘“‘mug”’ for the camera, a group of students and their adviser posing for a casual shot during a break from a tour at the yearbook company, or a “‘shop-talk”’ discussion with a Marine represen- tative—all of these were ‘“‘goof-off” times where students could relax and talk over good times with friends.

Homecoming Celebrated by a Victory Dance The 1968 homecoming began with a football game with Taylorsville, which ended in victory. During half-time the homecoming court was introduced and the queen was crowned. The Future Teachers of America sponsored a victory dance following the game. The Homecoming Dance, sponsored by the Student Council and attended by over 300 students and alumni, was held in the student lobby that evening, with the queen and her court again being presented. Music was provided by the “Time Machine,” and the student lobby was decorated to resemble a miniature football field, including goal posts placed at each end of the lobby. Jack Henson places the homecoming queen’s crown on the head of senior Ollis Jackson during half-time ceremonies of the Watauga- Taylorsville game. Members of the homecoming court, chauffeured by senior Rick Robbins, were junior attendant, Daphne Martin; sophomore attendant, Nancy Greene; freshman attendant, Sharon Blair; and senior attendant, Dorothy Hodges. Mike Thomas and Donald Dotson “dish out the dough” for their admission ticket to the Homecoming Dance, which followed a vic- torious ballgame. 120 Watauga County fans turn out in spite of the muggy, rainy weather to see Watauga High School’s homecoming parade, led by the ever-enthusiastic cheerleaders and band. Being the only high school in Watauga County, the school draws its supporters from all four corners of the county. The Homecoming Dance was one of the year’s dances to which “outsiders” were invited, these being Watauga High School’s alumni from three previous years. tai “Clean-Up Day” Stresses School Beautification Gary Warren and Gary Norris pause for a short break between classes at one of the outside smoking areas provided for the students’ use. For the first time at Watauga, the Student Council spon- sored a “Clean-Up Day” campaign. This project included the making of posters to stir up enthusiasm for the work. A “Clean-Up Day”’ was also included. The regularly scheduled afternoon classes were forgotten as students and teachers alike pitched in to clean windows, desks, blackboards, erasers, lockers, and bookshelves. Students were permitted to change from regular school clothes into shorts, slacks, or a more comfortable ‘“‘cleaning” outfit. The success of the day and the spirit exhibited by the students insured this as an activity for future years. Gina Sanders’ face registers the disgust she feels over the state of her locker on “‘Clean-Up Day,” a student project for school cleanliness. These girls begin their own personal cleaning by starting on their lockers. ‘Clean-Up Day” was something new this year and proved to be a big success; afternoon classes were forgotten.

As the time for school elections drew near, nominees running for important student body offices turned out posters, banners, and other propa- ganda to draw voter attention; other contests on a popularity basis were also another factor of the involvement of Watauga High School life.

The annual Sweetheart Dance, sponsored by the freshman class, was held on February 15. Music was provided by a local group called “The Eros.”” The Valentine decorations included different sizes of red hearts bordered with white lace. The “Sweetheart Court,” sponsored by the Powder Horn, was elected for the first time, with no stipulation as to class representation. Sharon Blair, a freshman, was crowned the first “Sweetheart Queen,”’ and her attendants were senior Judy Greene, junior Lucille Welborn, and sophomores Dorinda Moretz and Kathy Aldridge. More than seventy couples at- tended the dance.

Other team members—Mr. Brown, Hugh Mast, Roland Hardy, and Mr. Edmisten—watch eagerly. Intramurals were sponsored by the ‘Student Council of Watauga High School. Girls’ and boys’ teams, composed of students and faculty members, were formed; and each team was scheduled to play another team on a designated night each week. The play-offs between the two winning girls’ teams and the two winning boys’ teams were held during school hours. Students were charged an admission fee of 25 cents, with proceeds going to the Student Council to be divided accor- dingly among the participating departments in return for use of the facilities.

UZ, Pat Davis, Sarah Coffey, and Elizabeth Clawson enjoy their ‘“thonor study hall,” a privilege earned by all seniors having at least a “B” average. There was always a time and place provided for studying: in the classroom, in the student lobby during ‘“‘honor study hall,” on the stairways, on the courtyard walls, and other spots known only by the students themselves. School and home- work could be exciting, especially when one could gain practical experience by actually going out and working in a local store or office. Students found that in many of their classes the old- fashioned lecture method of teaching had given way to more student participation in the various classes, making it possible for students and teachers to gain more rapport in their relationships. Christine Norris gains valuable experience by working at Watauga Savings and Loan Association as part of her Distributive Education training.

Bobby Denton, Dogpatch’s “Marryin’ Sam,” performs wedding cere- mony for Joe Wilson and Mrs. Nancy Penick, chosen ‘‘Li’l Abner” and “Daisy Mae.” Attired in their Dogpatch garments, Watauga High students and faculty set the pace for Sadie Hawkins Day with a square dance held in the student lobby. The festive spirit reached a peak at the Sadie Hawkins Dance, sponsored by the sophomore class. Music was provided by the “Distant Blue” as the hillbillies swung their partners in the lobby, which was decorated with hay bales and cornstalks. Bobby Denton was the acting “Marryin’ Sam.” “Daisy Mae” and “Li’l Abner”? were judged by the audience’s applause. Winning the titles were Mrs. Penick and Joe Wilson. Debbie Winkler and Danny Hayes analyze the legality of their Dogpatch marriage certificate. “Marryin’ Sam” issued many such certificates. Riely Carroll, portraying Mary Warren, pleads to the court to believe that she is innocent of the charge of conjuring the devil.

Seniors Present Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” “The Crucible,” a tragedy by Arthur Miller, was presented by the 1969 senior class as the annual senior play. The play, set in Salem Village, Massachusetts, during the witchcraft scare of the 1600’s was presented to Watauga High School students for an admission fee of 50 cents. The money collected was given to the school as a gift from the senior class. Mr. William Ross did an excellent job of directing the twenty members and in helping them to properly interpret their roles. As a result of his work, the cast portrayed their roles with great understanding and maturity.

The theme for the prom was ‘Days of Wine and Roses.’”? The Dale Van Combo was there to entertain the guests; and, as soon as the music started, young men in dinner jackets and tux led their dates, who were dressed in long, formal gowns, onto the dance floor. Refreshments were served in the ‘Wine Cellar” to each guest. The festivities were carried on until midnight; afterwards, people gathered at parties and their favorite “hang-outs” until the girls’ curfew hour for this special occasion arrived. The atmosphere created made the prom more special for the seniors, and the success of the dance was the result of the juniors’ hard work. Dan Williams (dark coat), along with other guests attending the Junior Senior, dance to the music which was provided by the Dale Van Combo. Before the music started, guests at the Junior-Senior were content to talk to one another and admire the student lobby with its colorful decorations, set off by girls’ formal gowns and hairstyles. rts SESS Richard Reiman and Connie Stanberry return to the dancing area from Pam Mikus and Ricky Robbins take a break from dancing to rest on the the “Wine Cellar’? where they have been served refreshments by the swing that was part of the beautiful decorations done by the junior juniors. class.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Reverend Byrd Metcalf gave the benediction and the class of 1969 marched from the gymnasium to the music of Huldigungs March performed by the Watauga band, under the direction of Mr. Otis Strother. 134 Melton, Brashear, Wilson, Graduation Speakers Dr. Miller and graduation speakers, Susan Lawrence, Robert Melton, and Ann Brashear join Paul Miller in the “Pledge of Allegiance” to the United States flag. The graduation exercises were underway. Lee Godwin smiles proudly as Dr. Miller congratulates her, as he did the . other graduates, on receiving her long-awaited diploma. Graduation exercises began with the ‘Pledge of Alle- giance,”’ led by Paul Miller, and a devotional and song by Susan Lawrence. Following a performance by the Choral Ensemble and the Mixed Chorus, graduation speeches were given by Robert Melton, on ‘‘Crisis and Decision—State”’; by Ann Brashear, on “Crisis and Decision—Society”’; and by Gray Wilson, on ‘Crisis and Decision—Individual.”’ Dr. Miller pre- sented diplomas, the senior class was recognized, and the official declaration of graduation was made by John Hollar, chairman of the Watauga County Board of Education.

tears” that the entire annual staff and our adviser have put into this book’s production can hardly be described on this page! We all laughed a lot and managed to cut up in between our working hours; and, as representative of the others’ feelings, we can honestly say it was fun and well worth the hours spent. Mostly, it brought us closer to the school. We were really caught up in the mainstream of the school’s life; and we had to be familiar with each schedule, each event, and each activity pertaining to Watauga students. We attended dances, athletic events, induction ceremonies, classes, and club meetings we had never before known existed. We want this book to invoke the unpleasant as well as the happy memories, the bad days as well as the good, the personal triumphs and defeats, the classes, the students, the feeling Watauga conveys to each student—and that is a big order. It is up to the students to decide how well we have succeeded. Many thanks to our hard-working, trustworthy staff and their overtime work, and especially to our faithful adviser to whom we owe the debt of fidelity to the end. —Kyle and Greg 1969 MUSKET STAFF CO-EDITORS-IN-CHIBR sts ‘ssid os -a66 es bce ge era Ses ee nen Pome aro inte eee Kyle Tugman and Greg Nichols Academiles 0. 5 Seyi teecis Seger ale: iol: te PR aoe ee ere A een a ee ea Judy Byland and Katie Greene Organizations b WSs nis ies Poe acths hel gts cep one Res een eatin tans eget area cas no eee ct ah Gat ere ge et ee ee nee aE Karen Wilson Athletics . 3's hs uenstetiheginucha and bv Gis 4 in “acne yn os Pos oe ees Roig PER do ed oor eee ea ee Harry Lyons Student Lites 22 2 oo ct cease ethiss a8 bet teehee arte ete oat emer oa Larry Wheeler and Steve Sanders Honorariesin.. «) «sus, eS woes seen hes ae ethan roe een noel 0 Gn onnn a eatin feet A ceo ge Rachel Yates Classés Ogos. t05dsae sb SARS eet rd eas «eB val 5 Osta ee ies cee ere Ro OA Me ee eee Rachel Yates and Shelia Greene Senior Directory. gis duis ip Grace erage oes Bs o sate ge tesgae faeces Sasso oe ge at Cesena ee tte gente noee ee sae em ei eee Emma Jane Young Administration-Faculty Directoryaiaccs: cate costed a tee eae Judy Byland and Katie Greene Inde xy Sintra ote ete Wate Sat ee tect teense, tive sce neu oi oy: ari oie Bo ee Karen Wilson and Shelia Greene Layout: © 2 svete gles leweua sella, Bygetie tet moe ails’ o Vd ares ncopaine pikes oh ar Suge eake yes tre ome Rom ca ROR HE ORS eR RE ee Greg Nichols Copy” eos Bs ally Sp dade tgec pis ote alias seins dia ve) Mann ee 4b piety tee Emma Jane Young and Kyle Tugman Photograplivers ssc: sysGi pakersueteetcas triode esta) op euch tenet chs Ben ey Gen ee Marcus McGuire and Harry Lyons ij 05 10) an ne Me kee Oia cM eRe Ce Cie AIA once UNE the Brae BE Gia, o Shelia Greene, Karen Wilson, Judy Byland, and Emma Jane Young FR a es re eee ar he eS Foss Go G Ma UMS obo co oso Mrs. Janet H.
