A A? jj x JLjut ' - n, a, Presenting Zhe 1965 Echoes Published by THE SENIOR CLASS of WENDELL HIGH SCHOOL Wendell, N. C. The Key to Education 1 The Search for a key to unlock a new trade route to India led to the discovery of America. Like seafaring explorers high school stu- dents are constantly searching for the key that will unlock the door to knowledge, popularity, and success in scholarship, athletics, or lead- ship. The student himself is the master key, not the teachers, family or friends. If he utilizes all of his God- given gifts- -his own talents, abili- ties, and determina- tion, he can successful- ly unlock the doors for a bright and productive future. The Echoes’ staff has tried to preserve the many events that have taken place behind the doors of Wendell High School. Someday these doors will unlock and all the mem- ories inside will be that of boundless treas- ure. Zable of Contents Ministration A thletics features Organizations Mvertisements Dedication As we look back, we see Wendell High School, filled with the laughter and spirit of its students. Although we will no longer pass through its halls or sit in its classrooms, the memories of past experi- ences there will be unforgettable. As generation after generation graduated, marks and signs remained, reminding us of those who once attended and were proud to belong to its friendly and homelike surroundings. Because of our fond feeling for a school which made possible for us scholastic achievement, fun, and happiness, we, the class of ' 65, dedicate the 1965 ECHOES to Wendell High School. Alma Mater Hail dear old Wendell High Thy loyal sons are we, And we shall ever be Loyal to thee.

With the molding of these keys, developed problems, which seemed to have no solution; but these were interspersed with blessings and accomplishments which kept us continuously striving for our ultimate goal. How have we made ready for this moment and our future? Many memories prevail in our minds, and many moments are cherished as our class history unfolds before us. Our first encounter with school life came in the first grade. Here we gained a conception of what life was to offer ip ' the years to come. Through the able guidance of our first grade teachers, we were taught the fundamentals and basic arts needed for school work. Of course, recesses and sleeping periods were a necessity in our daily school routines. The learning process intensified as we endeavored to overcome the challenges placed before us in the second and third grades. We, at the time, were not cognizant of the importance of these challenges- -reading, writing, spelling, and counting. We considered these years, years without end and without purpose. St With the coming of the fourth grade, came the multiplication tables. Much effort was exerted in order to learn the tables. In fact, many considered them unlearnable. It was here that we began to develop our likes and dislikes in the field of mathematics. An understanding of history was acquired in the fifth and sixth grades. From this knowledge we developed to a great extent, our horizons of our state, our country, and our world. The magnanimity of the past ages was brought into focus. We began to realize the existence of other people and places, which prior to this time were of little importance because of our limited learning. As we continued our study of history and mathematics in the seventh and eighth grades, we began an intense study in science. Here we acquired information about the forms of life and the factors constituting our environment. A prereq- uisite to leadership techniques, which was to prove so important in the following years, was presented in the eighth grade In some of us there was a sense of failure concerning our approaching high school days. Our first graduation exercises terminated our stay in grammar school. High school was highlighted by failures and successes, problems and pleasures. The adjustment from grade school to high school came slowly for some, while for others it came rapidly. Rigorous routines of changing classes, freedom of self-discipline, and demanding subjects marked our freshman year. Without a particular goal in mind, we wandered aimlessly through the year. A sense of nonchalantness was somewhat lost our sophomore year. We began to form a concept of what high school, as well as life, was about. Biology will never be forgotten. The unpleasant odors and the sights observed in dissecting animals will remain with us many years. A two-year course in Algebra was completed, and we began the study of history! The studies and responsibilities were getting more difficult as we completed this year. Our junior year required that we be salesmen as we worked to sell Christmas cards, which was the first step in the preparation for our Junior-Senior Prom. This occasion was successful only through much diliberate planning and work and the untiring efforts of our sponsor. The sharing of the class play, The Campbells Are Coming, received considerable recognition and was beneficial to both the juniors and seniors. As we participated in the commencement exercises, we knew that we would be graduating the next year and were even more aware of the little time we had to prepare ourselves for that day. Thus, we entered the final phase of our high school career, the twelfth grade. As school began, so began our work for this final year. We endeavored to sell magazines, and we assumed numerous responsibilities as seniors. After the completion of this project, there ensued the responsibility of organizing the Echoes . This involved many hours of w.ork and self-sacrifice; but in spite of this, the job was completed. Sad emotions of departing entered our lives as the juniors entertained us with their prom. The completion of this year was highlighted by disappointments, successes, and antici- pation of careers and college days Now as we stand at the door of life’s fortunes and complexities, we are aware of the fact that the past twelve years were not in vain; but that they were basic for the unlocking of the opportunities of life. We now realize that tomorrow we will not have someone to make us work and tell us how to act; for these things must be done by ourselves. With the passing of these years, we wish to express humble gratitude to all those who have made possible our gradua- tion and a special thank-you to the teachers who have diligently worked for our benefit. The considerations, hardships, and personal togetherness will never depart from our memories as we challenge life’s fortunes and say good-bye to an in| stitution which will serve as- a key to our future. The past twelve years now seem as only a moment as we stand here say- ing good-bye to many of the things we have held so dear. Thus, we can only hope that our future years will be as fruit ful as the ones past. - MS S ' M S ' MM Milton Prince Historian Senior Superlatives Most Attractive Milton Prince Sandra Hinnant Most Popular Milton Prince Vickie Smith ■ « « w Poem The years have come; the years have passed They number twelve in all. The many friendships made to last Have weathered storm and pall. Of hands we clasped, some slipped awa Through tears we found new smiles. And now the gate upon the way Is open, showing miles. The steps we ' ve trod along the halls And to each classroom seat Have brought us rises through our falls And sought to make complete Inquiring minds that longed to learn And climb to learning ' s height. The sparks were struck; the fires burn. The torch ' s glow is bright. Soon Wendell High must close its doo: We are the last to leave. The last few drops the pitcher pour We shall, the most, achieve.

How I would love to see my old class mates! Where is the key that will reveal their activities to me? Ah! I have found it. May I see my classmates and know what they are doing? It seems that wherever BILL ADAMS goes, people like to keep him for a few years. Remember school??? Well, he has been in the United States Marine Corps for five years now. ELSIE ALLIGOOD, after having served as a nurse for a few months, has married an intern and changed to keeping a nurser The bashful one of our class has finally reformed. PATRICIA ANDERSON is now one of the world’s leading ladies. She is married to the Prince of Wilds. Mrs. Pete Price (we knew her as BETTY BRADSHAW) is living in Charlotte with her four boys and one girl. All of her boy are 5 ' 2 , whereas her daughter is 6 ' 1 . f ROY CLARK is a leading author in America. He is, of course, living in New Orleans. His best seller, English Can Be Fui is widely read by discouraged high school students. North Carolina State has never been the same since ROBBIE COOKE became Professor of Philosophy. He is affectionately dubbed Socrates II . DAVID EARP has gone into business for himself . . . manufacturing socks! He never seemed to like them when he was in school! ! ! JOE HENDRICKS is the leading instructor at a muscle building schoolin Los Angeles. He was crowned Mr. America in 1970 BUCKY HINNANT is on the Olympic Debating Team, and holds the world ' s record of never having been defeated. He goi his start in Sociology. Like all of her sisters, SANDRA HINNANT has finally married. So far she has five girls; all of them are just like their fa- ther ... a severe disappointment toher daughter ' s boy friends. Her husband ' s appearance is not so appealing as hers. BETSY HORTON is our class ' s contribution to the Peace Corps. The country in which she served is now engaged in civil war FRANKLIN JEFFREYS has finally traded in his 1957 Pontiac for a Corvette. He is having wonderful results! He ' s the most sought after bachelor in Wendell. It seems that our always dating LINDA JONES is an old maid. None of her friends would wait for her to decide which one she liked best. Good old HENRY MAZZEO, having graduated from his dear old Wake Forest, has begun manufacturing bicycles-built-for- two. He gets his fortune from high school seniors. JOE McLEAN has bought the IGA, and has been a great success. He gives all of his employees Saturday off. LARRY MEDLIN is at Whitley High serving as Principal. The kids love it. School from Friday to Sunday; weekend from Monday to Thursday. DOROTHY MOSS has three little girls. All of them have black hair. Amazing! ! ! DON PRICE became the Barnie Oldfield of the 1970 ' s when he made records far exceeding 200 miles per hour on his Falco But he has retired now, and spends his spare time as a patrolman. After having batched it a while in New York, MIKE PRINCE has settled down with is little wife and twin girl? ' . His brother MILT has become the success we predicted him to be. He was voted President of the United States in 1985 by a two- thirds majority vote. Remember how he always stressed that margin??? BRENDA RAPER is still awfully bashful. She is even shy around her own little family! I hear they have to write notes to her so she won ' t have to talk much! ! ! PATSY SANDERS is a nurse in a Navy hospital. She could not miss seeing boys in uniform once in a while! ! ! Mrs. Don Strickland, nee LUCILLE SATTERWHITE, still fights whenever she gets the chance. Don has black eyes every other day. JAMES RICHARD SCARBORO liked managing football teams so much that he is now the manager at the Chapel Hill Coun- try Club (Carolina). The United States government is paying $1, 000, 000 to the person who can make MAXINE SMITH go a 24-hour period without laughing. After three years of desperate trying, no one has yet succeeded. Millionairess VICKIE SMITH has made her fortune manufacturing hair straightener. Her product holds up even when it rains! ! ! After years of planning a string of homes around the world, EDDIE TODD wasted his efforts, for he is living in Wendell, working at Proc ' s, and rearing little redheads. He owns a yacht christened Big Red . PHYLLIS TURNER is a major producer of horror movies. She always liked to see them when she was in school. STEVE WADE is one of the major orators of the world. People love to hear him, for he gives such varied opinions on his subject! ! ! LARRY WALL has made history in agriculture. He has developed a way for tobacco to harvest itself. JOY WILSON is living in Raleigh and is still trying to keep up with Robert. She never was one to give up. And I, JANET SYKES, am living in my home overlooking one of the most fabulous of the Carribean golf courses trying desperately, if not in vain, to rear my eight football players and one cheerleader. Janet Sykes, Prophetess Classes The Key to Achievement WHAT IS A CLASSROOM? A classroom is a place where one can widen his horizons. Through class- room participation one does to learn and learns by doing. An encounter with problems of life and adversities that seem unconquerable is experienced. More- over, as one endeavors to attain a goal common to the group, cooperating and sharing with one ' s fellowman result. The cultivating of one ' s mind and the making of it a storehouse of lasting knowledge become one ' s goal. Equally important is the development of competent leadership. Life-long friendships are made and students join together in participating in school-related activi- ties. The development of the keys--character, leadership, service, and achievement- -to life ' s storehouse are encouraged in each individual student in the classroom.

PERRY, Sponsor What Jt Means to J3e a Senior White roses with blue ribbons were presented to the seniors by the Student Council on the first day of school. Thus began the final year and one of the most important phases of their high school life. The class was showered with new responsibilities. The first labor was that of selling magazines in order to finance the activities of the year. The cry heard around the town as well as the country was: Would you like to subscribe to a magazine, as they endeavored to sell. At the end of two weeks, they had sold $1700 worth. In October the seniors journeyed to the V Hliam Neal Reynolds Coliseum for a most beneficial day. College Day. As the eventful day ended, many minds were set at ease while others wondered about their vocations. In the latter part of the fall, a long awaited day arrived. Class rings came. For the seniors, these rings will always be a symbol of an institution that served as a cornerstone in their lives. While most everyone was celebrating the Christmas holidays, the staff was busy laying out the Echoes. The seniors will always be grateful to those who gave of their time to edit this book. Here, as in other senior activities, the sponsor rendered her services untiringly. Joyful, yet sad was the atmosphere at the prom presented by the juniors honoring the seniors. It was then that the significance of school in their lives and the awareness of the short time before they would •be saying good-bye was fully realized. With hearts overflowing with gratitude and with a feeling of importance on knowing that someone cared what happened, they closed the night that they wished would never end. Now came the climax of the fruitful year, the commencement exercises. It hardly seemed possible that one of the many chapters in their book of life was concluded. As they walked up the aisle on graduation night, a tear filled every eye. Now the seniors must act well their part on that vast and of- ten cruel stage of life. So they say good-bye with the air of thankfulness to all who have made possible this wonderful year.

Never before had so much re- sponsibility been heaped upon their shoulders. Prior to this, the class as a ‘whole had not had any activities, but they readily saw that this year was going to be one big class activity. There were many decisions to be made, some small and some as big as the theme of the Junior-Senior Prom. There were officers to be elected, chairmen and committes to be appointed, and large amounts of money to be acquired, counted and spent. All this responsibility frightened the jun- iors. They had always followed the upperclassmen, and now they found themselves thrust into the position of the upper class. They plunged into this year-long activity by holding their first class meeting. Officers were elected. The class colors and flower were chosen, and work was started on their Christmas card sale. Selling cards was hard work which resulted in many sore feet and tired throats, but the profit made up for the aches and pains. Spring proved to be a busy time. In April the Juniors participated in Wake County Career Week held in Raleigh. There they tried to make decisions concerning future vocations. Also, with help from the Senior class, they gave a play as another money-raising activity. Producing the Junior- Senior Play was just as much work as selling Christmas cards, but the Juniors thought it was well worth the effort. The Juniors ' profits from the Christmas card sale and the Junior- Senior Play were used to attain the Junior Class ' s ultimate goal, the Junior- Senior Prom. Since this Prom was the last at Wendell High School, they tried to give the Senior Class of 1965 the biggest and best one yet given and sincerely hope they succeeded.

The sophomore is between the freshman and the junior; a student with the somewhat tempered but yet effervescent enthusiasm of the freshman and yet suppressed with the daily problem that his subjects present. Sophomores can be seen practically everywhere: fran- tically scrawling and thumbing through pages in a dictionary in last-minute preparation of a theme for English class; staring in awe as the scalpel reveals the wonders of the anatomy of an earthworm or a frog or a starfish in Biology laboratory; standing in front of the blackboard in Math class trying to cope with a complicated problem; scratching notes and heads in trying to comprehend what the T.V. teacher is discussing in World History class; struggling with a new vocabulary in French class; scrambling and tum- bling in a pitched battle of basketball in Physical Education; burning food and knitting in Home Eco- nomics; working with tools and materials and learning about the life-giving earth in Agriculture; or just relaxing in the Recreation Room with some ice cream and friends. Yes, a sophomore is on the verge of adulthood, and this is evident in his carefree behavior. There is no time of life more enjoyable than this Sophomore age , and in Wendell there is no exception to this axiom.

R. WOOD GENE YEARGIN What Jt Means to Be a freshman As the green freshmen of the 196 4-65 term entered high school, they were, in a matter of speaking, scared stiff . Many wondered if they would be accepted by the students already there. Those first days of school were quite hazardous until everyone got into the swing of changing classes. After all the confusion was eliminated, the freshmen settled down to their school work. In November, many freshmen went out for basketball. Most of them made the team. Many of the boys had al- ready played on the football team. After the Christmas holidays, examinations were on the agenda. Everyone tried hard to pass their very first high school exams, which were quite different from the Junior High studies. The Spring brought on restlessness for the students. They eagerly awaited the summer vacation. When the year was done, they looked back with fond memories. They had a feeling of contentment to know that they were an important part of school life, and that no matter where they may go in the future, they will always re- member their green freshman year at Wendell High School, Officers of Mr. Strain’s Class PRESIDENT ------- Sherry Buchanan SECRETARY ------ Betty Jean Brantley VICE-PRESIDENT Lynwood Faison TREASURER Susan Wellons Eighth Qrade Officers of Miss Baker’s Class PRESIDENT - Frances Henderson SECRETARY - Sharon Johnson VICE-PRESIDENT Laura Burgess TREASURER June Knott MILTON ADAMS RAY ALFORD DONNELL ANDREWS DIANE BARNES BALDIE BISSETT LINDA BOYKIN ROBERT BOYKIN SHIRLEY BRADSHAW BETTY JEAN BRANTLEY BILL BRITT SHERRY BUCHANAN LAURA BURGESS SAM CLARK RALPH COUICK WAYNE EARP LYNWOOD FAISON DEBBIE FOLEY ALICE GRIFFIN FRANCES HENDERSON DIXIE HENDRICKS BETH HENRY MIKE HONEYCUTT JAMES JOHNSON SHARON JOHNSON WOODY JOHNSON GEORGE KNOTT JUNE KNOTT TIM LILES ROGER MAYE PATRICIA MED LIN STEVE MEDLIN BUTCH MITCHELL EDNA MURRAY RICKY PENNINGTON MIKE RAPER ft (% f B ■1969 DEBBIE RAYBON MARY JANE RICHARDSON VICTOR RICHARDSON JOHNSIE RIGGINS PHIL SNELL JAMES STRICKLAND STEVE TAYLOR ANNETTE THOMAS JUDY TUCKER JIMMY TURNER GAYLE VAUGHAN EDITH WALL SUSAN W ELLON S JAN WHITLEY GAYLE YOUNG Not pictured SUSIE MEDLIN Seventh Grade Officers of Miss Bryan’s Class PRESIDENT - -- -- -- - Glenn Medlin VICE-PRESIDENT ----- johnny Narron SECRETARY - -- -- -- -- Beth Todd SONG LEADER ------- Susan Thomas Officers of Mr. Beddingfield’s Class PRESIDENT Leslie Todd VICE-PRESIDENT ----- Brinkly Wagstaff SECRETARY ------- Patricia Arnold TREASURER - -- -- -- - Anne Glover REPORTER - -- -- -- -- Sallie Murphy SONG LEADER ----- Warren Henderson I 1 1 1 : ! t . t) i iwt i m I irr -fflir- ' - — ■ - ■ “- - RICKY ANDREWS PATRICIA ARNOLD BETH BILOSOLY DAVID BIRCH DANNY BOYKIN KAY BOYKIN ROSS CARROLL BOBBIE CHAMBERS DALE DAVIS JUDY DAVIS SANDRA DEAN RAY DORMAN WANDA GAY ANNE GLOVER ALBERT HALL WARREN HENDERSON MIRANDA HINNANT RICKY HINNANT THOMAS HINNANT MIKE HORTON SUSAN HORTON RHETT HUNT JOHNNY JOHNSON MIKE JOHNSON JOHNNY LANGLEY TERESA LANGLEY BETH LEWTER MICHAEL MANTYCH GAIL McGEE GLENN MEDLIN DIANE MOORE SALLIE MURPHY JOHNNY NARRON RICKY NOWELL RICHARD O’NEAL 1970 JOHNNY PAINTER BETH PULLEY JOAN RAY BON CLIFFORD RICHARDSON WAYNE SASSER LINDA SATTERWHITE MERLE SCARBORO WARREN SPELL HUGH TERRELL JUNE TESSINEAR SUSAN THOMAS BETH TODD LESLIE TODD BECKY TURNER BRINKLEY WAGSTAFF JUDY WAINWRIGHT LYNN WALL TERRY WALL JENNIFER WELLONS VERNA WENTZ Cheerleaders June Knott, Debbie Foley, Sharon Johnson, Sherry Buchanan, Frances Henderson, Julie Henderson, Dixie Hen- dricks, Diane Barnes, Debbie Raybon, Beth Henry.
