But it is perhaps, the end of the beginning.” —Winston Churchill © im 2 - re : Aes Foreword Seniors study Shakespeare, and “the world’s a stage.” We students ob- serve that our world, the world of Wilkes Central, is a stage. Through- out the months of 1964-65 at Wilkes Central, vari-colored, multitudinous drama has opened before our eyes— in our halls, in our classrooms, on our campus. For many of us, memories of this full year will consist of a series of vivid sketches, scenes lifted from the drama about us and etched in our minds and hearts by chance or art. The drama of study, the candid, un- rehearsed comedy of everyday inci- dents, the occasional tragedy of fail- ure—these are a few scripts in which we all have been not only spectators of the play, but actors as well. We have shared the laughter and the tears, have applauded and have re- ceived applause. Now we wish to share with you a portion of our dra- ma in the 1965 Green and Gold. 1965 Published by WILKES CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL North Wilkesboro, N.

Having a warm personality and natural enthusiasm, she has been | not only a courteous and most effec- tive librarian but also one keenly in- terested in the individual pupil, his progress and his activities. To Mrs. Virginia Brame, librarian, the staff is proud to dedicate the 1965 Green and Gold.

The AFROTC drill team provides half-time entertainment during the Newton game. Jim and Shirley Pipes and Franklin Houck sing “Julie Ann” in the “Hul-dig-nanny” presented in assembly. These students check with Miss Pearson as they support the Lions’ Club Foreign Ex- change program by selling Halloween candy. Rehearsing is done during the hours spent on the practice field and in classrooms With the help of Miss Clements’ prodding and daily practice, the chorus perfects its singing ability. Behind the scenes, some cannot take the everyday grind without a break. The quiet of the library provides these students with a few moments to dig out the facts for themselves. é Bucko Buchan tees off during practice at the Oakwoods Country Club. These boys are more engrossed in that mysterious sheet of paper than in music-making. If her students enjoy English class as much as Mrs. Greene does, they will be eager for that upcoming test.

In individual sports such as track, each person plays an important role. After hours of drilling and repetition, we face the rising curtain with confidence Officials and team captains meet midfield before play can begin. Coach Madison and the girls on the bench are engrossed in a tense moment of play. During a time-out Coach Madison reviews plays with Roy Williamson and Stephen Foster. “The play’s the thing” is shown by Coaches Thormburg’s and Welbom’s chart- ing of fumbles, mistakes, and yardage. Those behind the scene wait for their cues to go on stage. Bill Johnston leads both veteran and newly- inducted members in the National Honor Society pledge. Susannah Cashion keeps an eye on the fans as the cheerleaders rally the specta- tors in support of the team. These wrestlers exert every muscle possi- ble in striving to overcome their opponents. Even though he is prepared, Dicky Gray- son must concentrate in order to complete his advanced math test.

Academics The clock’s hands point to twelve o clock midnight as the boy crams for an important exam. A girl muses over a book of sonnets or frets over algebra problems. The teacher takes one last look at his notes and stations himself in front of the lectern to await the tardy bell. The flow of academics at Wilkes Central is made up of books, classes, teachers, and students. Scholasuc Apritucle I MR. J. FLOYD WOODWARD, Superintendent Arranging classes to make up for’ days of school lost to snow was one task. Keeping alert for new trends in education and securing the best faculty and plant available on a budget were others. Most predominate, however, was the unending task of bridging the gap, with tact and diplomacy, between school and community. Mr. J. Floyd Woodward, with the aid of the Board of Education, has accomplished these tasks with tireless devotion in his position as superintendent of North Wilkesboro City Schools. The success of his unselfish efforts in _behalf of Wilkes Central continue to aid in the progress toward the best in educational oppor- tunity for our students.

Advisor from a dedicated faculty Knowledge cannot be absorbed by means of pills or potions, but the skill and devotion the members of the faculty exhibit often borders on the mystic. Each day they bring a repository of knowledge to the thirteen hundred students who compose the classes of Wilkes Central. The enthusiasm and skill with which they perform even the most routine tasks combine to provide each student with the opportunity to receive the best possible instruction. In a chemistry lab, an algebra class, or French class, students develop their fullest academic potential under the supervision of these dedicated individuals. The suc- cess of their instruction has given Wilkes Central aca- demic standards to be maintained with pride. Grading a student is serious and delicate work, and Mrs. Surratt realizes that fairness to each is of utmost importance. WILLIAM A. GROCE, JR. B.S.

Mrs. Potts, our patient and most efficient secretary, apparently can never boast of a relaxed moment. A thousand or more lunches, ready and piping hot, must be prepared and served to the endless line of students for an hour and a half each day of the school weeks. The long halls must be swept clean of the thousands of muddy or dusty footprints, and light bulbs must be in each switch of every classroom. Some- one must answer the phone and record the bank bal- ance for the inner office. These tasks, and a multitude of others, occupy the members of the cafeteria staff, the custodians, and the | office secretary.

E. “One, two, three, left,” chants a class of freshmen girls or boys during warm up exercises in the gym. Girls in white jump suits dart across the court as a group of freshman play a fastpaced game of bas- ketball or speed ball. Boys in blue shorts and grey shirts make several laps around the track field in early spring or test their skills in a game of base- ball. Advanced physical education students pursue knowledge beyond the fundamentals of games and aid in freshman P.E. classes. On alternate days the emphasis switches from physical activity to instruction in the basic struc- tures and functions of the human body. This, com- bined with the program of physical activity, ac- complishes the goal of the health and physical education department—the development of each student’s physical and mental fitness potential. Through co-operation with colleges, a health class gains additional infor- mation from a student teacher. Basketball develops dexterity that is necessary for today’s youth. Tools become precise instruments in the hands of these boys at work on their gun racks. Sue Sebastian illustrates a basic in home nursing—a well-prepared bed insures a fast recovery. Practical arts courses Ag. boys participate in many projects and _ experi- ments; they even have a chance to draw landscapes. 26 Burned hamburger buns and arrangements of spring daffodils or fall chrysanthemums are present in these rooms. Young children laughing and munching crackers for a student audience are also there. The pride and thrill of accomplishment are felt as the boy sands off a gun stock that he has made himself, or plots a drawing with delicate instruments. Another a student finds even deeper satisfaction in surveying ae a crop planned and grown by himself using modern methods and modern tools. The thrill of accomplishment is the same whether the student is a girl in home economics, or a boy in a industrial arts, mechanical drawing, or agriculture. Skills that provide satisfaction and serve to prepare an indi- vidual for maturity are the primary objective of the de- partment of practical arts of Wilkes Central. offer career training David Sprinkle has become adept in using a straight edge, compass, protractor, and other more sensitive instruments in mechanical draw- ing. Betty Caudill finds in Home Ec. that knowledge of a sewing machine is both practical and rewarding. Tommy Shew discovers the pride of accomplish- ment as he sands a gun stock he has made. Mr. Roberts, assistant for the first three periods, is an understand- ing aid to students having difficulty using the library. A girl listens to a symphony by Beethoven or Bach. A boy strives for excellence in mastering on his flute the notes of a difficult piece of music. An entire group of students sings for a civic organization and faith is re- stored in the creative powers of the younger generation. The audience is hushed and the gymtorium is darkened before the curtain is drawn on a three-act drama. The actors and musicians are young. Their efforts often fall short. The fact remains that there are outlets for the best of man’s creativity. The objective of the fine arts department of Wilkes Central is to provide these outlets in band, chorus, speech, and dramatics, or library science. Playing a musical instrument, enacting an emotion- filled scene, working with the best of literatu re, or sing- ing a beautiful piece of music, are activities designed to provide the opportunity for development. Latent talents awaken The library is a place for quiet study into our world for students who take ad- vantage of the environment. Is the university really that big, Miss Pearson? Notes on paper burst into song when Miss Clements directs the Advanced Chorus. and come alive in fine arts In her role as librarian Mrs. Brame goes over and above necessity to help anyone who has a pro- blem. Get off that Beatle rhythm—the beat is one, two, three. Typing a stencil for the first time definite- ly presents problems, but with the help of Mr. Furr, everything seems to fall into place. Practice is a forerunner skill Fingers dart across the keyboard with ease and as- surance in a Typing II class. Down the hall the scene is different as students become orientated to the complex mystery of the typewriter in a Typing I class. The strokes are uneven at first, but as the weeks and months pass skill builds and the complex machine becomes a valuable aid. The office practice class is cilled with the combi- nation hum of student voices and the clack of typewrit- ers or the hum of a duplicating machine running off student directories or forms for the annual staff. In the shorthand classroom the scene is quieter, but none the less active. Pencils make hurried scribbles against shorthand notebooks. Students learn a language of symbols and sound and grow exceedingly accurate with practice. These are classrooms associated with the business department at Wilkes Central. The methods and means may differ from room to room but the ultimate goal re- mains—the preparation of well-trained workers for the expanding demands for skilled labor. Hanns Manship and David Foster discover the complexities of the key- board in this Typing I class.

A brief question-and-answer drill period provides French I students with practice in the first elements of conversation. Mr. Greene must -be telling one of his stories about Roman civilization. Foreign languages build One of the first questions Mrs. Gambill asks her French I class is, “Quel jour est-ce aujourd’hui?” Evidently the young Frenchman knew the answer. “Vous parlez, vous écrivez, et vous lisez en francais,” i the French tape may say.

Along with the inevitable grammar comes a sense of belonging to a world society un- hampered by regional boundaries as a student finds himself capable of reading a current magazine from France or an incident from a familiar classic such as Les Miserables in the language of its conception. At the end of the hall, Latin students study the culture of the Roman people. Clay volcanoes, plastic spoon mosaics, and charcoal sketches are student ef- forts at creating parts of this culture.

Even the best of French II students have trouble with translations of their novel, Sans Famille. Burlie and Virgil Benge and Carolyn Benton listen to La Marseillaise on the language lab earphones. Maps of expanding empires ornament the walls. Bul- letin boards display ancient dress or explain a concept of history. Students re-enact the forming of the constitu- tion or a lively debate between Jefferson and Hamilton. The entire economy of the nation is dissected and revised by a group of youthful economists. The results of an upcoming election are predicted and the actual results analyzed with objective eyes. Life long prejudices are revealed and discussed in an effort to understand how man behaves and why. These are activities of the social studies department. In civics and world geography, world history, American history, economics, or sociology, Wilkes Central’s stu- dents become acquainted with the riches of the past and the promise of the future as well-informed, function- al members of society. Mrs. Vannoy’s history has become known for its skits, each of which is colored by originality and humor poked at the old Social studies bring a masters of past ages. In Coach Groce’s class students see a flat, insipid world map transformed into the pulsating, alive world of 1965. “Pete” Piper has learned from experience that a well-planned and presented social studies report increases the storehouse of knowledge and grades. | | exe reer Peer, Mrs. Welborn’s lecture periods provide an opportunity for stu- dents to question and thus better understand our country’s economic system. t knowledge of our heritage Mr. Roberts creates an interest in music by playing records il- lustrating the different types. Although students feel they have had much experience in living, Mrs. Foster, through sociology, points out how much there is yet to learn. Mrs. Vannoy’s history _ class is very often the scene of heated debates producing retorts such as, “Was that a dirty remark about my favorite political party?” 35 ' Chemistry labs teach appreciation of cau- tion and use of safety devices when deal- ing with poisonous elements.

PRD CONTENTSA Students, carrying vials of brightly colored crystals, walk about the room in small groups. Vile-smelling concoctions bub- ble and flow through twisted glass tubes. Bunsen burners flicker and burst into flame in the breeze from an open window in the chemistry lab. A girl nervously examines an earthworm, coated with the pungent moisture of formaldehyde, in the fall. The same girl dissects a frog specimen or young pig with precision and interest later in the year. Atoms, molecules, formulas, laws, muscles, organs, and sys- tems relate to the everyday world in the practical applications of the science department of Wilkes Central. In a chemistry lab or a physics class students learn to apply a knowledge of con- cepts and theories to the problems of modern society. Through use of color charts and demon- strations, Mrs. McGrady can more easily explain the minute details to her Advanced Biology class. While students conclude their tests and prepare to “pass out,” Mr. Carpen- ter notices a physics problem that requires some head scratching. Chemistry consists not only of learning facts but also of working problems.

This saves both time and work. Logic is put against This is a simple equation, class, but there are many, many ways to use it. Ronald Huffman has just tapped the large resource in the library for help on a troublesome math prob- lem. The compass rotates in skilled hands and a circle is formed. A line of chalk moves from point to point and a line graph takes form. Columns of numbers with plus and minus symbols form long, wavy lines on a sheet of homework. Mathematics—the ancient art and test of man’s pa- tience, intellect, and curiosity—is being taught in the classrooms of Wilkes Central. Quadratic equations or Euclid’s laws offer chal- lenges. Compasses, protractors, and slide rules emerge as tools in the hands of skilled students, rather than toys. Problems and concepts develop skill and reason- ing ability as students progress from the basics of gen- eral mathematics courses to the complex ities of algebra and geometry. The end result is skilled and alert stu- dents armed with the ability to probe and solve the problems of everyday life. various problems in math A simple geometric figure like the circle can produce many problems! Having discovered a contradiction in answers, Mr. Alexander officially declares the answer book wrong. Graphing, one of math’s most practical appli- cations, enables students to see relationships clear- ly. Seniors have discovered that world literature requires a great deal of initiative on assignments. Self-expression is developed There is no better way for a freshman to build self-confidence than to speak before his peers. “Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man,” was Sir Francis Bacon’s definition of the qualities necessary for the making of a scholar. A girl reads Silas Marner and discovers much of sea human nature. A boy delivers a talk on prejudice in a Cie oo speech class and forms a philosophy he is willing to de- oe | fend. The Advanced Composition classroom is silent as students attempt to express concisely in their own words the ideas they have gleaned from reading Tolstoy or Rousseau. Knowledge and skill in reading, speaking, and writ- ing are the goal of the English department. The scholars trained in this department are capable of self-expression in any of the three media. In order to use English correctly, a student must practice it. Thus, an oral test is in order. The composition of a sentence and parts of speech seem clearer when diagrammed. through English courses Juniors quickly adjust to the fact that American literature is not a “crip” course. In speech and dramatics Mr. Mayes tries to indi- cate that a good perform- er gives his whole self to the role. Those fulfilling the responsibility of officers of the Class of 1965 are: Jan Forehand, treasurer; Margaret Morrow, secretary; James Wiles, vice-president; Tony Wingler, president. Senior Class The days are full and busy. They fly past with the speed of thought. There are club meetings piled upon club meetings. So many things to do. An issue of the Aquila must be completed before next week—only four days to go. The Homecoming parade must have a float from each club. There are extra meetings. Somewhere along the way, that English paper has to be written, time must be found for that French left undone last week. The flurry of college applications keeps everyone in a whirl for weeks. Grades must come second, yet must be maintained. Find time—ah, Time. Where does it all go? Now and then a quiet moment comes. You stop for breath and, gazing down the silent expanse of corridor lit by longslanted rays of sunlight, you think, “This is the last year. What now? Where then? ‘a leg, a stone, a door...” You doubt for only a moment, and then go on to the next, and the next—to meet the challenge of being a Senior. ae Ordering graduation invitations and calling cards was only one item on the agenda for the senior class meeting.

Junior Class A girl read one of Emily Dickinson’s jewels of thought and better understood human emotion. A boy struggled through Herman Melville's Moby Dick and wondered about the conflict between good and evil, God and man. Chemistry students concocted strange com- pounds, and geometry students mused over calculations. Lines of nervous students waited to be measured for class rings. Weary committee members discussed plan after plan for a float to enter in the homecoming parade. Equally weary students rushed to bring the selected plan to reality by parade time. Rooms were silent as new members were inducted into the Green Key Club, Future Teachers, and Tri-Hi- 70 Y. Candidates for student council offices distributed campaign propaganda and waited nervously on stage be- fore addressing the student body with spirited cam- paign speeches. After the storm of election, winners and losers alike received congratulations for the effort and ingenuity of the campaign. These students were members of the junior class. During the year their status as upper classmen brought them new responsibilities and new pleasures. Involved in every phase of life at Wilkes Central, they excelled in athletics, academics, and extra-curricular activities. The members of the class of 1966 proved ‘themselves leaders in the finest Wilkes Central tradition.

Hushed voices conjugated a French verb or declined a Latin noun. Biology students peered into a sea of one-celled organisms through the miracle of the microscope. An English II class became acquainted with the characters of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. World history students plotted the course of the Crusades on a map of the world. A typing student fumbled with a margin that re- fused to be set. Wilkes Central’s sophomores were writing their chap- ter in the story of Wilkes Central. At ball games, at as- semblies, at class meetings, or at the Sophomore Hop, each member of the class of 1967 utilized the utmost of his talents, energy and school spirit. Aching backs and numb brains were more than compensated for as sopho- mores gained knowledge and pleasant memories of their second year at Wilkes Central.

Freshman Class They stand on the threshold of a new life—a grand adventure, an exercise for the mind and body and soul. They watch the hordes of unknown, wise- looking students rush by—all going somewhere. Where? They feel a little lost, a little dumb; but | they also feel the challenge, the life of Wilkes = | Central. In they plunge, right up to their necks in the work, the play, the learning and yearning that is Central. The first report card is a great occasion, as is the first honest-to-goodness Home- coming game. Friday assembly is a perplexing af- fair, but they learn to look forward to skipping a few minutes of class. How did those upperclassmen ever get so far? How do they get out of class when we cannot? They learn to beat their way to the lunchroom; and, once there, they stick doggedly to the barely crawling “long gray line.” They learn rapidly: By Christmas you can hardly tell a freshman from a battle-hardened student at W.C.

CAROLYN GWYN-—HEditor GAIL DUNCAN—Co-Business Manager ELIZABETH FOSTER—Co-Business Manager Green and Gold The Green and Gold staff was busier than ever this year because school activities and areas which must be covered at Wilkes Central have grown considerably during the past few years. The staff has gladly spent more time and energy in an effort to make this year’s Green and Gold the best yet. Members have worked diligently perfecting layouts, providing and ar- ranging pictures, writing copy, and meeting deadlines. The thrill of working together and the satisfaction that each staff. member exper- ienced at the successful completion of his section of the yearbook far outweighed the weariness of many hours of toil. Each member of the Joyce Stout, Associate Business Manager, and William Mathis, Associate Editor, must work hard this year to learn all the things that are essential to producing a good yearbook. staff has spent a profitable year learning the procedure involved in preparing a good year- Through the patience and guidance shown by Mrs. book. Pauline Woodward, Green and Gold advisor, the staff was able to create a yearbook worthy of their efforts. Mr. Switzer and David Foster, Green and Gold photog- raphers, were seen at many student gatherings in search of action shots representative of school activities. 94 Through: preparing layouts, writing and proof-reading copy and Clara Ray, and Brenda Rhodes—find that it is difficult to know captions, and placing and identifying pictures, these girls—Beth everyone at Wilkes Central. Foster, Linda Wood, Carol Brown, Rudyne Call, Sylvia Carrigan, Roger Wright, Margaret Switzer, chairman, Janet Bumgamer, and Nancy Brewer find that they must work steadily on the copy and identifications in order to meet the dead line for the activities section. Susie Pardue, Martha Smithey, Billie Tharpe, and Kaye Reynolds study annuals from various schools to gain new ideas for the enlarged opening section. The sports committee, Lucinda Cleetwood, Paul South- well, Lynn Walker, chairman, and Elizabeth McElwee, look forward. to a successful athletic year as they plan the layout for the sports section of the Green and Gold. 95 Serving as president of the Stu- dent Council, Randy Cooke must represent the student body at all times and perform all duties pertaining to the office As vice-president of the Student Council, Danny Jones presides at all meetings of the Inter-Club Council and acts as mediator between the two councils. of president. Student Council The Student Council had an extremely active year, as shown by the numerous projects and activities it carried out successfully. The most important function of the Student Council was keeping the students informed on problems arising in the council meetings and the solutions to these problems. The homeroom representa- tives reported to their homerooms the business of the meetings, thus serving as a link between the students and the Student Council. As a result of the highly successful magazine sales, the Student Council was able to undertake a large major project—the landscaping of the athletic field. As a minor project, a series of entertaining paid assemblies was ap- proved. The Student Council sponsored the following pro- _jects during the Christmas season: collecting voluntary contributions to the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library Fund; and monetary gift for the two full-time custodians; and the Christmas Cheer project, which provided food for two needy families. The Student Council sponsored two _all-school dances—one at Christmas and the other at Valentine’s. The Homecoming activities were a project of the Stu- dent Council, also. Their highly successful Student-Fac- ulty basketball game was perhaps their most profitable and entertaining undertaking for the year. A team of non-varsity players challenged the skill and wit of a group of faculty players. However, with the aid of the referees and score-keepers, the faculty attained a vic- tory. io Students and teachers alike seem to pause a moment and gaze as Dr. Cleetwood sinks another one during play at the annual Stu- dent-Faculty game. 96 Nelda Morgan, secretary, checks attendance at all meetings, writes the minutes of all meet- ings and submits a copy to the Student Council for approval. Treasurer Jerry Brookshire han- dles all Student Council and Student Body funds. Jerry must keep an accurate record of all finances.

This group entered a float for the first time in the homecoming parade. Members also manned voting places during the school bond election and again during the presidential election, distributing pamphlets which urged citizens to vote. In such work as this, the Society continued all year. Although the mem- ber had to maintain an 85 percent average in his studies, display outstanding character, and be a leader in the school, the resources of the club were always available in service for both school and community.

Officers of the Tri-Hi-Y are: Beth Foster, Secretary; Janet Bumgarner, sergeant-at-arms; Susie Pardue, president; Betsey Kite, vice-presi- dent; Nelda Morgan, chaplain; Carolyn Gwyn, treasurer. Tri-Hi-Y “To create, maintain, and extend . . .” begins the Tri-Hi-Y purpose and focuses the activities of the club. The Tri-Hi-Y, being a service club, alternated with the Hi-Y and the Kappa and Sigma clubs in sponsoring dances after the home football games. During Thanksgiving the club made fruit baskets for local rest homes. A giant Eagle ball player was the center of attention on the Tri-Hi-Y’s float in the Homecoming Parade. The “Powder-Puff” football game brought for the Tri-Hi-Y not only the third consecutive year without a loss, but also money for a generous world service donation. Members of the Tri-Hi-Y are, FIRST ROW: Carolyn Gwyn, Susie Pardue, Betsey Kite, Nelda Morgan, Beth Foster, Mrs. Shaw, advisor, Janet Bumgamer. SECOND ROW: Regina Owens, Luc- inda Cleetwood, Carol Cashion, Sherry Cox, Jenny Melville, Alice Lewis, June Kay Church, Gail Duncan, Margaret Morrow.

Decorating for an after-the- game dance are Sigma Chi girls — Janie Bumgamer, Ruth Gray, Wrenda Rogers, and Marcelle Morgan. These Y-Club sponsored dances were a highlight to many game activities. Sigma Chi Tri-Hi-Y As a Christian club, Sigma Chi Tri-Hi-Y stands as the rallying standard for those freshmen and sophomore girls who are sincere about living their lives on a high plane of moral and social values, and who are consistent with the motto of clean speech, clean mind, and clean body. This year the Sigma Chi Tri-Hi-Y members’ aim is to explore and more clearly define this purpose. During the year 1964-65, Sigma carried out several projects to raise money and to provide plenty of fun for all of the members and the school. Working along with Kappa Tri-Hi-Y, the club was able to make these projects very successful. Officers of the Sigma Chi are, SEATED: Diane Stone, sergeant- at-arms; Marcelle Morgan, vice-president; Clara Ray, president. STANDING: Laura Day, chaplain; Marie Wingler, treasurer; Betty Broome, secretary. Awaiting the beginning of the annual Powder Puff football game, members of the Kappa-Sigma team huddle to- gether for warmth as Coach Ralph Steele gives last-minute instructions. Kappa Tri-Hi-Y The Kappa Tri-Hi-Y’s regular Monday night meet- ings are held to transact necessary business, fortify their high purpose through conference and Bible study, to strengthen the ties of friendship that bind them together, and to make the Kappa Tri-Hi-Y Club and themselves individually of greater service to their fellows. In the year 1964-65, Kappa Tri-Hi-Y worked jointly with Sigma Tri-Hi-Y in many of the clubs’ activities. All the mem- bers and adult leaders were inspired with the candle light rededication service, and all of the girls seemed to get a great sense of self fulfillment when the two clubs adopted a grandmother. Yes, the year 1964-65 certainly was a rewarding one for the Kappa Tri-Hi-Y. Members of the Kappa Tri-Hi-Y are, FIRST ROW: Brenda Nunn, Ann Spencer, Beth Duncan, Susan Church, Joan Brewer, Susan Kerbaugh. SECOND ROW: Cindy Critcher, Carol War- ren, Abi Bowers, Susan Sturdivant, Sharon Billings, Frances Kappa Tri-Hi-Y officers are: Beth Duncan, vice-president; Susan Church, secretary; Susan Kerbaugh, president; Ann Spencer, chaplain; Joan Brewer, treasurer.

Decorating a Christmas tree to brighten up the band room are Gene Smith, Marie Cashion, Jimmy Billings, Donald Winters, Patty Hayes, and Doug Walters. Wilkes Central High School Band A tap on the podium, instruments raised, a wave of the conductor’s baton, and the concert begins. These are the motions characteristic of every band, but to Wilkes Central students they are special because they belong to our band. Some students expressed an uncertain opinion of the band’s performances at the beginning of the school year. This, however, was quickly and gladly turned off as the year and the band progressed together. The band dis- played outstanding skill on the field and in parade marching. There were contented sighs when the band marched out onto the field with a good solid all-Ameri- can sound which represented the triology of a winning team, school, and band. Judging from past years, every- one could tell while listening to such performances and watching the intricate formations that the band mem- bers had put more “oomph” into it—an extra punch of work. This work paid off in enormous rewards, and a sense of pride was instilled in each who heard. Another bid came for the Mooresville Christmas Parade. A Christ- mas concert was presented, introducing effectively the Yuletide. The Homecoming Parade and Memorial Park boomed victories to the old and familiar “Fight” song. The annual trip for the State Band Contest offered a sense of achievement to those who participated. Still, with all this improvemnt, Mr. Myers, our hard- working band director, pushed with even a greater force. There were hours of practice and drill; new mu- sic was learned and old music stepped up with the pace of Wilkes Central. To deserving members a “hats off” and a “big boom on the bass drum” to show Wilkes Central’s appreciation. The Majorettes lead the band through their half-time routine. The Band Council—Sherry Cox, Wanda Hincher, Mike Morrison, Deb- by Liles, Elizabeth Tripplet, Jerry Michael, Allen Broach, Mickey Al- len, Conal Shaw, Jenny Melville, Donald Winters, Ralph Taylor, and Millicent Souther—assist in planning band activities and trips.

During first and second periods, members of the two choruses cultivate existing talent and pursue inter- ests in music. Discussions by Miss Clements, choral in- structor, acquaint members with musical instruments and their use. Practice sessions provide the poise and skill which have made Wilkes Central choruses in de- mand for special programs for schools, churches, and civic groups. Members of the second period chorus are, FIRST ROW: Barbara Johnson, Olene Marlow, Patricia Williams, Marilyn Barlow, Ardith Hankins, Chris Weaver, Brenda Pegram, Sharon Osbome.

In the fall, members of the first period girls’ chorus performed for the North Wilkesboro Woman’s Club and were well received. Members of both choruses attended choral clinics and continued to give inspiring musical programs during the spring months. Both choruses were instrumental in bringing “the sound of music” from Room 50 at Wi lkes Central to all of Wilkes County. Robinson.

FOURTH ROW: Sylvia Canter, Judy Andrews, Bertha Jarvis, Doris Johnson, Carol Key, Judy El- ledge, Linda Combs. Under the able direction of Miss Clements, the chorus has sung itself through a musical year. Miss Clements puts much time and effort into her classroom teaching to make music an im- portant value in the life of each student. Wilkes Central’s choruses, this year as active as ever, have presented musical programs for civic’ groups, churches, and school assemblies. The Advanced Chorus is composed of forty-four students with above average interest and talent in music. Early last spring try-outs were held and class time al- lotted for the “hour of music” during third period. Miss Clements advises, instructs, and encourages the members of the class as they study various types of mu- sical arrangements. This year the Advanced Chorus, sponsored by the Musical Arts Club, presented an enthusiastically received Christmas program at the Wilkesboro Baptist Church. Later in the year members competed at the state choral contest. Eight talented students were chosen to represent the group at the Mars Hill Choral Clinic in February. Members of the Advanced: Chorus are, FIRST ROW: Brenda Joines, Linda Gentle, Carol Elledge, Lynn Welborn, Jerry Smith, William Ellis, Loutricia Mathis, Rebecca Thompson, Suzie Transeau, Brenda Myers.

Highlighters The Highlighters is a group of students who are interested in singing, but have no time during the school day when they can practice together. They began the year by bringing in new members. The lights of Room 50 have been seen burning at many odd hours because of their practice sessions. They have presented many well-received programs to the school and to local civic clubs and were an es- pecially popular group at Christmas. Their wide variety of music has made them a well-loved group. Because of the contributions of interested civic clubs, they were able to buy stunning new blazers with an insignia on the pocket which they designed themselves. In order that they might present the many musical programs included in their schedule, the Highlighters spent much time in after-school practice. Members of the Highlighters are, FIRST ROW: Laura Day, Cindy Rousseau, Patricia Parks, Cindy Critcher, Ardith Hankins, Brenda Kulynvch. Kathy Wiles.

Members of the Chess Club are: Stephen Tashiro, Jim Ford, Calvin Stringfield, John Williams, Jim Smoak, Larry Cooper, Bill Clements. Chess Club A deep sense of concentration and reasoning is only one of the many requirements of Chess Club members. Chess is not only a test of one’s skill, but also a test of mental ability under great pressure. Members of the re- cently organized Chess Club, endowed with these at- tributes, are capable not only of deep thought, but also of displaying good sportsmanship in the chess games. Our school is proud of these boys who are venturing beyond the accepted range of mental activity for young people of their age. Debating Team Not everyone possesses the ability to express his ideas clearly and effectively, but the members of the Wilkes Central Debate Club are proving that they are becoming very skilled at doing just that. Having been organized just this year, the Debate Club has Mr. Mayes and Mrs. P. Martin as their capable advisors. The mem- bers of the club have received valuable experience from expressing their ideas concisely before a large group. The school supports the debaters in all of their endeavors and has provided a section of reserved books in the li- brary that are available only to the debaters, to help them in their research. We are very proud to have these people who are interested in the art of effective com- munication. Debaters are, FIRST ROW: Christine Call, Carol Joines, Susan Whittington, Peggy Pennell, Joyce Joines. SECOND ROW: Tony Baldwin, Johnny Gilreath, William Mathis, Vernon Smith, Stephan Tashiro. In a scene from the Playmakers’ production, Look Homeward Angel, the cast seems overshadowed by their ominous fate as Ben is dying. The Playmakers has been one of the busiest clubs around Wilkes Central this year. With a membership of sixty enthusiastic sophomores, juniors, and seniors, Mr. Mayes has led the club in the very successful pro- ductions of four plays. Many of the club’s members have attended several plays at various theaters within the state, greatly en- Members of the Playmakers are, FIRST ROW: Nancy Church, Tony Baldwin, Suzie Bryan, Frank Mills.

Aquila Staff Newspaper margins of twenty-six spaces, sports clippings and rushed typists are all a part of the first period advanced composition class at work on the latest issue of the school newspaper, the AQUILA. The AQUILA provides students and faculty alike with news of sports, club activities, scholastic honors, features, and humor on a high level. Each of the four English classes is responsible for submitting the material for one issue of the paper. The twenty-two members of the advanced composition class act as editors of the paper, selecting the best of the material submitted. Un- der the supervision of Mr. Greene, faculty advisor, the copy is made ready for publication and the layout drawn by other members of the class.

Future Homemakers of America “Wouldn’t you like a cookbook? They're only $2.95,” was a familiar cry of the Future Homemakers. This, however, was just one of the many activities of the club this year. Under the capable leadership of Mrs. Caudill and Mrs. Gil- reath, the girls had the opportunity to become experts in all household skills. One of the most enjoyable functions of the year was the Mother-Daughter Banquet which was prepared by the members of the club. The Wilkes Central club. was again well represented at the state F.H.A. Convention, which gave each member many new and interesting ideas. The cookbook sale and homecoming float were great successes, making this year’s Future Homemaker’s Club one of the most active clubs at Wilkes Central.

The Wilkes Central Chapter compiled and published a student directory, which has been and will be extremely useful to the entire student body. At the convention in Durham last year, Allen Broach was elected President of North Carolina State F.B.L.A. Club. Our local club took top places in many events. The club has even greater expectations for this year's convention. Officers of the Future Business Leaders are caught as they leave for the State Convention. They are Doris Combs, treasur- er; Richard Huie, president; Rebecca Reavis, parliamentarian; Allen Broach, state president; Elmer Parlier, reporter; . Ruth Wyatt, historian; and Bennie Anderson, vice-president. The mimeograph machine played an impor- tant part in the F.B.L.A.’s production of a Student Directory. Entertainment for the Sadie Hawkins Dance, November 21, was provided by Roy Williamson, Lee Foster, Creg Anderson, Jim Lowe, Jerry Brookshire, and Syd Spainhour. Future Teachers Preparation for careers in education is the major goal of the Wilkes Central chapter of Future Teachers of America. Under the capable guidance of Mrs. Belva Vannoy, panelist on the state advisory committee for F.T.A. clubs, members pursue their interests in education. Members worked together to build the green and gold F.T.A. “Bandwagon” which won second place in the homecoming parade, and to prepare for the state F.T.A. convention. This year’s convention, held on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Greens- boro on November 14, featured members from the Wilkes Central chapter, along with Mrs. Vannoy, as guest panelists.

The librarians work with Mrs. Brame and Mr. Roberts in carrying out this duty. They learn how books are pro- cessed and classified. They also learn to keep a close record of books which are checked out. The Dewey Decimal System is the foundation for the classification of books and their arrangement on the shelves. The li- brarians are required to have a working knowledge of this arrangement.

Athletics Pretty girls on the field at half-time on the night of the homecoming game, the tense excitement as the seconds tick by in the last period of a wrestling match, the long foul ball that eludes the baseball play- ers glove—all are a part of athletics at Wilkes Central. Varsity Football The mighty Eagles completed another memorable season! Each game from Taylorsville to Valdese, held an excitement, a memory, a story, that was not duplicated in any other game. Victories, dances, honors, pain, losses, crowds, cheerleaders, coaches, players, unity, faith, and spirit were part of Central’s football season this year. We were not able to fight our way through the matches without defeat, but when the mighty Eagles were conquered they held their heads high and the true Central spirit shone through. Even though we did not quite reach the end of the rainbow this year, our Eagles accomplished a great deal. Throughout our conference and the state, our team is recognized as one that displays true sportsmanship. Our first defeat in two years was handed to us about midway through the season—when our Eagles accepted this de- feat with the same Eagle sportsmanship that won so many of our past games, they won one of the hardest battles they have had to face in a great many years. Wilkes Central maintained a high seat among the “top” football teams in our conference by clinching sec- ond place. We were well represented in many activities associated with football: we had an outstanding line- man Randy Cooke, who participated in the Shrine Bow]; our team had several well-qualified players in the annual East-West All-Star game; and we were well represented with all-conference players as we had the continued interest and support of the school and community. re on K he a f : The coaching skill of Central’s head coach, Line coach Jack Branch teaches our linemen to Backfield coach W.

Taylorsville (20-6) It was Wilkes Central’s defense that captured this victory. Cooper’s fumble recovery set up a touchdown pass from Brookshire to Jones. Bun- dy’s interception of a Taylorsville pass set up an end sweep play, and Sprinkle scored on a fumble recovery, rambling 32 yeards. Marion (6-0) Meade scored the only TD of the game in a 12 yard run. It was a tight defensive game. Marion had 79 yards rushing; W.C., 71. Marion had 94 pass- ing yardage to our 5. Hudson (0-0) Many of the Eagles were out because of an outbreak of flu. At the end of the game a series of downs were run to determine a winner. Hudson had more yardage. Morganton (0-6) Morganton turned and intercepted a pass into a touchdown that smashed W.C.’s 25 game winning streak. Central led statistic wise—first downs 8-4, passing yardage 16-10, and rushing yardage 96-11. West Carteret (26-0) Bundy scored on a 6 yard run; Ray- mer on a 40 yard run; Benson on a reverse; and Fraz- ier on an 11 yard shot up the middle. Enlce (13-19) Central’s strong points of this game were the quarterbacking of Bundy, the running of Meade (gained 76 yards in 14 carries), and Swofford inter- cepting two passes. The Eagles value a moment of prayer before each game. Morganton’s eager 38 attempts to steal the show by intercepting a Central pass, but his efforts are in vain. High anticipation develops during early practice as both players and coaches prepare for the season opener. Hickory (19-21) Hickory edged by with a victory be- cause of the two blocked extra point kicks. Meade scored on a 7 yard run. Raymer on a 19 yard pass from Bundy. The injury of captain Steve Fletcher spurred the Eagles to another score—a 3 yard run by Frazier after a 28 yard pass from Bundy to Raymer. Newton (13-13) Raymer scored on an 8 yard run after a 62 yard drive. Swofford kicked the extra point. The final score was made by Bundy on a two yard roll- out. Larry Bare (37), ignited with Eagle dynamite, moves in to stop a fast-moving Morganton back. | Lenior (27-7) The first score was set up by Swofford who ran 50 yards from a punt. Jones then scored on a | pass from Bundy. Brookshire scored from the 23, Bun- dy passed 50 yards to Fletcher on the 3 and then went in to score. The last TD was made by Raymer on a 92 yard kick-off return. Valdese (25-7) Two scores came from Bundy’s passes— one a 74 yarder to Fletcher and the other a 29 yarder to Billings. The other two TD’s came on a pair of 3 yard plunges by Meade and Brookshire. It was the half-time rest and “pep talk” that helped boost our : Eagles on to a well-deserved victory over the fierce Marion op- position. At the close of another hard fought battle, our mighty Eagles are eagerly praised and congratu- lated by throngs of spectators on a great victory.

Cheerleaders Whenever someone sees a poster on the wall or hears the cry “B-e-e-e-eat . . .” he knows that the cheer- leaders are at work. These girls practice all summer and spend several hours a week making posters and plan- ning pep rallies. The cheerleaders this year have helped mold the Central spirit-even when the chips were down. Most of all they have spread this spirit throughout all the sports, not just a few such as football and basket- ball. These girls have let each team know that “We back the Eagles, we back the best!” Vivacious J.V. cheerleaders encourage students to attend the games as they support their team. aes St Susannah Cashion Jan Forehand Debbie Marshall Kathi Hillin Captain Judy Miller Virginia Raymer The junior varsity cheerleaders are, FIRST ROW: Betty Link, Kay Kilby, Susan Kerbaugh, Joan Linda Frazier, captain Marie Wingler, Maggie Moore, Clara Lynn Ray.

The young ladies exhibited the sparkling freshness of youth, accented by the bright lights which shone on the football field. The homecoming court and_ sponsors were in their places on the field. Miss Jan Forehand stepped forward, and received the glittering crown. The audience rose in applauding acknowledgement as the loud speaker indicated, “Ladies and gentlemen, your 1964 Homecoming Queen.” Kathy Wiles Kendall Marlow Kathy Billings Judy Miller ‘Marie Wingler Susan Kerbaugh Karen Hayes Ann Spencer 129 | | | | | | | | | The Homecoming Week-end was the first big entry in the 1964-65 school year at Wilkes Central. The activities began with the parade at ten o'clock. Ruddy and excited faces greeted the morning. Ap- prehension was thick, but when Miss Jan Fore- hand, homecoming queen, appeared, doubts quick- ly evaporated. “Let’s go” was heard, and the parade was on its way. Flowers were bought; each had to know his place on the field. Happiness in success was ac- companied by aching backs. However, our excel- lent choice was exhibited when the queen was crowned. Jan, who had weathered many activities, was still as fresh and radiant as each student felt at this moment. Having received the crown, she took the roses into her arms and portrayed, in ex- cellent taste, the unending and undaunted spirit which is Wilkes Central. Reigning as queen of the homecoming festivities, Jan was featured on the Student Council’s float.

Varsity Basketball Our Eagles under the capable leadership of captain Jerry Gant gave each game their best in both ability and in sportsmanship. The team never became discour- aged even in defeat, and entered each game with that fighting spirit characteristic of our Eagles. The season will long be remembered by both the boys and fans for the outstanding ability shown by each player. They each learned the importance of co-operation and teamwork. For their tireless work and consistent efforts, we salute Coach Welborn, Captain Jerry Gant, and the entire 1965 squad.

Although our girls varsity squad did not win their first few games, they came back strong to be the victors in our first conference games. These opening games were not, however, the only ones won; our Eagles played hard and were able to gain more victories as the season progressed. Led by co-captains Nancy Icenhour and Debby Liles, the team showed the will to win, but if defeated they showed good sportsmanship and deter- mination to win next time. Nancy Icenhour and Marcelle Morgan both struggle for control of the ball during the opening of the Jonesville game. 134 Coach Tom Welbom Carl Lowe Hudson Tony Johnson In his second season as boys’ varsity basketball coach, Tom Welborn fielded another successful and well-drilled team. Under his leadership the team has im- proved greatly. Many of our games went “down to the wire’ and gave the spectators many anxious moments. Coach Welborn is proud of his team and looks forward to another winning season. Howard Wallace John Swofford Anytime a new coach comes to Wilkes Central, all students and spectators are eager to see what the team | can do under this leadership. Mrs. Madison and the | girl’s team made this a season to remember. Her deter- mination has shown up in the fine conference victories and a high finish in the conference. She has outdone her- i self her first year, and prospects for next year look even better. .

Over the past eight years we have had two state championships and four conference championships. The sport is unique in that anyone, ranging from very small to very large, may participate. Because of the outstanding job done by the thirty-eight wrestlers, school spirit has been promoted and the Central tradition has been retained.

Last year’s team posted an excellent 8-3 record with a second place finish in the conference. With a squad of fifteen experienced boys, Coach Groce had reason to expect a successful season. Jerry Gant gets ready to pitch as Jerry Brookshire waits for the hit. A quick pitch to Tony Wingler could put Jack Brown out during a practice session. Coach Groce expresses his disapproval as one of his players makes an error. Athlete Mike Meade clears the low hurdle in good form during an afternoon practice.

The many hours spent by Nick Wehrmann practic- ing gained for him respect from his team. Bucko Golf Golf is one of Wilkes Central’s popular sports. In the past six years, our golf team has twice placed third out of the twenty-three groups competing. The players compete not only against other schools, but also among themselves. Both individualism and team work are traits of a good golf team. Our team’s hard work and Coach Hoffman’s efforts have been shown by their excellent record. Wilkes Central is proud of its golf team and looks forward to each season with high hopes. Buchan shows Jim Benson and Larry Cooper the way to sink a putt.

Forestry’s importance also results from the fact that it has become an essential crop to the State’s economy and because it provides the raw materials for several booming industries. In these many roles forestry affects the standard of living or per capita income of nearly every Tar Heel. As forestry prospers so will North Carolina prosper because: % Forestry is North Carolina’s third ranking industry with an annual product valued at $750,000,000; % Forestry provides jobs for 78,000 Tar Heels and is second only to textiles as a source of employment; ¥% Forestry adds $243,000,000 to North Carolina’s economic income in the form of wages; % Forestry’s annual $35,000,000 loss to fires represents needless loss in Tar Heel wages, property and natural resources.
