IRIS COOKE 4 6e6iCAtion Because you have given unselfishly Of your time and effort To instill in us the desire for And appreciation of The knowledge that can be obtained from books; Because you have introduced us to One of the components of a fuller life — The pathway to Wisdom— through reading; Because of your devotion to us And to your work, We, the Senior Class, Dedicate the 1965 Skewarkee To you— Mrs. Iris Cooke Qui6epost Four short years ago, we as freshmen began our journey down the road towards graduation. Although that same path had been traveled by those who came before, it held for us a new and different adventure with every passing scene. It was not an easy road to follow, for often there were obstacles blocking the way. But now we are nearing the road ' s end and look back to find our foot- prints the only monument to our having traveled there. Our last miles we trod with an air of sadness, for we realize that the paths we walked together will become separate and different now. With these thoughts, we, the Senior Class of 1965, present in this SKEW ARKEE, the memory of our last year as we leave it behind and look hopefully at the Miles to Go. 6iRections Administration and Faculty 8 The Road 14 1968 18 1967 24 1966 30 1965 36 Curriculum 62 Features 66 Activities 74 Athletics 104 Advertisements 116 To R.

So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day Nothing gold can stay.” 7 A6ministRAtion faculty From eight until four, and often thereafter, a great fleet of advisors is on call to eager young minds five days a week. It is from this group that the students ofWilliamston High School seek and find answers to some of their problems. From the crucial world sit- uation to a dangling participle, from a twisted ankle to a misplaced zipper, from the theories of atomic energy to the misunderstanding of a rule in French or Spanish grammar— the questions pour from one advisor to another. Each ques- tion represents a real willingness to comprehend the subject matter by the student; and each answer, carefully weighed by the advisor exemplifies the strength and guidance that characterize a teacher. What better source can there be in a yoimg person ' s world than his teacher to exemplify for him what maturity, leadership, and integrity really are? Who can better set the student on the path that leads to honesty and resolution than the one who commands his respect and acquaints him with knowledge? Thus, to the faculty and admini- stration of his high school go our deep- est expressions of appreciation. We give our thanks, our affection, and our eternal gratitude to you who first made us aware of the fascinating world that lies just around the bend. 8 MR. DALE W. WALSER Assistant SupeRinten6ent MR.

Seconds anyone? You can tell a sophomore. .. but you can ' t tell him much. 16 Three miles to go. . . What is a f r e s h m a n? is to ask What is a high school? ; and, just as a school is more than four walls and a roof, so is a freshman more than one mere dot in a m ' Tiad of faces. Thus, the four high school years constitute the beginning of a teenager ' s march toward maturity; consequently, the freshman year may be described as fun, frolic, fright, and frustration. When the upperclassmen feel the additional burden of college entrance tests along with their regular work, it is the freshmen who enter dewey-eyed and light-hearted to add levity to the situation and to radiate the freshness of their youth. Certainly, a freshman is a novice, but everyone and everythinglnust have its beginning. And without freshmen, a high school would certainly lose much of its vivacity and its warmth. 1968 fReshman CUss Officeps DALLAS SILVERTHORNE President GLENDA WARREN Secretary KATHY GRIFFIN Vice President JIMMY McCLEES Treasurer Jane Alligood Debra Averett Judy Biggs Betty Jean Boney Jerry Brown Connie Bullock Larry Bullock Carolyn Burnett Glenn Campbell Diane Carson David Carter Ellen Coltrain Helen Coltrain Joe Coltrain Larry Council Kathy Crockett Dale Curtis Donnie Daniels Phil Daughtry Willie Davis Billie Drake Ronnie Edmondson Phillip Garrett David Glisson CUss of 1968 Barbara Jo Griffin Brenda Griffin Freddy Griffin Henry Griffin Kathy Griffin Pat Griffin 20 Class of 1968 Ronnie Kirkman Arlene Lilley Eugene Lilley Susan Long Jimmy McClees Sherry McGee Phyllis Griffin Vickie Griffin Ruthie Gurganus Edward Hammond Jackie Hardison Kenneth Hardison Susan Harrington Donad Ray Harrold Richard Hartley Julia Heath J.

SophomoRes After one year ' s journey, the Class of ' 67 gains some quality of security. With self-reliance they push ahead, passing milestones upon which is carved such scenes as the annual Valentine Dance, Homecoming Queen, increas- ingly difficult schoolwork, and the an- ticipation of the year to come. As Sophomores, they progress more rapidly as they gain a sense of sedate- ness, acquired only through experience. They travel on, encountering as they go such experiences that can only add depth to their characters and broaden a growing maturity. The signpost points them straight ahead; all signals reading go!

Perhaps the first year of being an upperclassman holds the greatest ex- pectations, because a junior is actually much more than a mere member of the eleventh grade. It is the junior class that cheers the football team to victory each Friday night, only to return for clean-up the following morning, still jubilant from last night ' s victory. It is they who experience the ecstasy of preparing the most outstanding social event of the year, the Junior-Senior. And it is the Juniors who vow each year to become the finest senior class Williamston High S chool has ever known. It is from their class that an outstanding few are chosen by their scholastic records to act as marshals for the graduates; and it is they who first become seriously concerned with college entrance. A junior is more than a jovial teen- ager. He is, most definitely, a journey- man upon an unending path. His goal is to be just to all; his nature, to be joyful; and his contribution to his school lies in his loyalty, his love, and the bond of attachment between the two which grows stronger with the years. i T966 JunioR CUss OfficeRS BOBBY BEACH President LINDA PEiEL Secretary JOHNNY GURGANUS Vice-President JOBY GRIFFIN Treasurer WAYNE BOWEN BOBBY BOWLING BERNICE BROWN VIOLETTA BROWN KATHY BULLOCK DEBORAH BAGLEY LINDA BAILEY LOUISE BARBER ROSANNE BAILEY BOBBY BEACH ROGER FORBES BOBBY GREENE JOBY GRIFFIN JULIA GRIFFIN MARY ELIZABETH GRIFHN 32 Class of RODNEY GRIFFIN JOHNNY GURGANUS ROBERT GURGANUS RONALD GURGANUS ALBERT GURKEN MARY AGNES HAMMOND CLIF HARDISON WILLIAM HARRINGTON LOIS HARRIS DEBORAH HOPKINS BETTY HOWARD BRADLEY HUMPHREYS CAROL JACKSON JANICE JENKINS LUC REG I A JONES MICHAEL LA CORTE MARY LANIER DIANN LEE BENNIE LEGGETT BOBBY LEGGETT JOSEPH LEGGETT BUTCH LILLEY PAT LILLEY JANICE LONG CHUCK MANNING PHIL MANNING DENNIS MASSINGILL RICKIE MINSHEW BLONDELL MOBLEY RONALD MOBLEY 1966 33 Class of WANDA MOBLEY JANET MODLIN JOAN MODLIN NANCY MOORE BRENDA NICHOLSON MICKY NICHOLSON ANN PEEL LINDA PEELE WAYNE PEEL PATSY PRICE JIMMY RAYNOR WAYNE RAYNOR ARNETTE ROBERSON CAROLYN ROBERSON DONNA ROBERSON NANCY ROBERSON SHARON ROBERSON BARBARA ROGERSON FRANCES SESSOMS AVA SMITH DIANNE SPARROW KENNETH STALLS DIANNE STOTT PRESTON SWINSON JOYCE TAYLOR MARIE TEW BOBBY TICE JIMMY VANN CAROLYN WATERS DANNY WHITE 34 1966 LOREY WHITE FREDDIE WILLIAMS IRIS WOOD BETTY JEAN WYNNE BRENDA WYNNE LINDA YEATTS Julie ' s his queen.

We look back and remember our innocent fresh- man faces staring up with awe as the high school assembly stood to honor upperclassmen. And suddenly, here we are, being honored just as those who preceded us. As Seniors, we are characterized with s op h i s t i c a t i o n. We are given superiority as we earn our privileges by right, and scholarship becomes upmost in our minds as we seriously speculate the necessity of education in our lives. The final scenes pass us by in rapid succession now: class rings, invitations, calling cards, caps and gowns. The four short years that seemed infinity as freshmen are ended; the miles to go, gone. But as we look ahead, we are thankful for our past that can only add experience, knowledge, and wisdom to the future. 36 1 SenioR Class OfficeRS Vice-President President SAMMY MANNING, HAUL REDDICK. . .

ELEANOR WYNNE 53 ClAss histopy The gate was opened When we were seven; We ' re off and running. The first lap passed quickly, With rhythm bands and reading circles. The second lap— a little harder; But fun was a special birthday party. Third and fourth and fifth Passed quickly. The games, the plays, and the fractions We left them all behind. With the sixth, seventh, and eighth Came grown-up manners and More homework. Our trainers were different; However, each taught us well. The reins of discipline were Tightening slowly. The track— sometimes muddy. Sometimes fair— beckoned us to Bigger things and High School. Nine laps and two tracks Merging— Farm Life and Williamston. Physical training helped us to Endure the rigors of the final laps. A Valentine Dance climaxed The tenth. Disection of a frog made our journeying A little more interesting. Fantasy Under the Sea, A Valentine Queen, a Homecoming Queen, a Spotlight Queen, a Monogram Sweetheart- All helped draw the finish line A little closer. The Finish Line ! Class rings, a Skewarkee To be proud of. College Day made the final lap Seem worth the effort and Hard work. The Race is not yet Complete — it is only The first of many feats.

And they? he spoke; That took the paths thus travelled by; Thus be the harvests they sowed Since 1 pointed them down that yellow road. Oh, ' 65 was a vintage year— ne ' er fear! Their stars and signs were kind; And like my friend, Rafferty the Poet, I ' ll sing their song, if you ' ve the time. Then his voice gave rise to a note from the skies And his eyes grew mystic and light; His hand gave pause; his shoulders rose And his words gave Truth to my sight: Round that Medicine Bend Doctors Velma Harrison and Sandy Barnhill went; Not far behind were their capable workers — Nurses Elizabeth Gurkin, Jo Ann Ward, Diane Holliday, Kay Holliday, Donna Thrower, Patsy Andrews, Cherry Arnold And Jane Dunn. Striding to catch up were Lab Technicians Jimmy Daniels, Judy Goddard, and dental assistant Gail Cartwright to D DS Richard Cooke. Medicine also claimed Jackie Manning, A physical therapist. And Nora Leigh Roberson, anesthesologist; Medical technologists Cheryl Critcher And Emily Ritter.

Business tycoon, Joseph Parvin, Engineer Fred Hardison, And Joe Spruill, technologist. Followed with all due propriety. Teaching ' s dusty way Was travelled by Mathematicians J. D.

The ' Straight and Narrow ' way Was DiAnna Cowan ' s, the Youth Worker; And Bobby Long, DD, Managed the Camp of Churches.

Speeding down the Wedding Way: Janice Williams, Peggy Gurganus, Donna Wojohn, Penni White, And Sandra Biggs, It ' s quiet now — They ' ve all gone on to their different worlds And separate spheres.

Two small children are chosen by the Senior Class to serve as Mascots. Their duties occur at gradu- ation time. Six members of the gradu- ating class are selected by the faculty as Outstanding Seniors. They hold the honor of be ing the most distinctive Seniors. The Marshals are those eight students with the highest scholastic average after the completion of their Junior year. Commencement exercises require their duties as ushers. One of the important people around at Home- coming is, of course, our Homecoming Queen who is selected by the student body. Completing the grand finale are Senior Superlatives.

They learn how to lead and be led; they work to- gether on a give-and-take basis; and, as the years pass swiftly, they grow wiser— so as to help others in those same awkward shoes they once wore. They discover that it is only through their relationships with one another that they become older in mind. In the following pages you may see students working and playing— always striving to help others, their school, and them- selves. 74 CluB OfficeRS Linda Gurkin, F. T.

Far from the belief of many students is the fact that one is not asked to be a member solely because of scho- lastic ability. Character, scholarship, leadership and service constitute the basis on which a member is chosen. It is the belief of the society that through one ' s personal efforts toward becoming a well-rounded indi- vidual, the member will do his share in shaping the world in which he will lead; or follow, giving of his highest ability at either station.

The main purpose of the club is to stimulate an interest in the dramatic arts. The Green Masquers usually sponsors two plays a year. Much work and preparation goes into each performance. The actors must spend countless hours practicing and memorizing lines; but, the actors aren ' t the only ones who work hard— many must work behind the scenes. There are directors, who see that everything goes smoothly; also prompters and stage managers. Others who perform their duties backstage are the prompt manager, the ticket chairman, publicity chairman, and many others. The corporation of these student actors makes for a highly successful organization. MR. C. B. WEST, Sponsor, But then. . First row left to right. Officers: Vice President, S. Crockett; Secretary, B.

The F.F.A. is an intra-curricular activity having its origin and root in a definite part of the school ' s curriculum— vocational agricul- ture. Among other things, members learn through active participation how to conduct and take part in a public meeting, to speak in public, to buy and sell cooperatively, to solve their own problems, to finance themselves, and to assume civil responsibility. The foundation upon which the Future Farmers of America organization is built includes leadership and character development, sportsmanship, cooperation, service, thrift, scholarship, improved agriculture, organized recre- ation, citizenship, and patriotism.

I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover ' s quarrel with the world. 134 The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair. And having perhaps the better claim. Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same. And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I s hould ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference. —Robert Frost 135 I The poems by Robert Frost are from COMPLETE POEMS OF ROBERT FROST. Copyright 1916, 1921, 1923, 1947 by Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Inc. Copyright 1944, 1951 by Robert Frost. Re- printed by permission of Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Inc. And I — I took the one less travelled by And that has made all the difference. Somewhere ages and ages from now When we have turned the foregoing leaves For the hundreth time. We shall perhaps realize That this little volume was a living dream — A dream to the Temple of Time. . . We fashioned something past recall — As the passive poet would say— Something everlasting, a thing eternal; Its importance a signpost Into our land of dreams. It is enough. Farewell; Good Luck; God Bless You: To your classmates, friends. To faculty and administration — But not to memories and dreams ! Say nevermore That dreams are fragile things. What else endures Of all this broken world Save only dreams. A. Manning 136 AutoQRaphs 139 I t I A A
