PAGE TWO THE SPECTATOR OCTOBER, 1968 Are You A Sincere Spirit Booster? “Have you got the spirit?” “Yeah man” is certainly the correct reply for Webb students to use. In case you have not noticed, the school spirit here at Webb has greatly increased. This year’s students are yelling louder than ever. Home coming floats were more elaborate and the competition was keen er. Instead of suffering the usual loss at the Homecoming dance, the Student Council cleared over two hundred dollars. The Spectator has a record number of subscribers. What has caused this increment in school spirit? One'of the most influential factors in spirit growth is the newly organized Pep Club. Thanks to the Pep Club, {posters of encouragement to our mighty football team embellish the halls of every area of the building. Also, the Pep Qub has pro vided transportation for enthusiastic supporters for games away from home. These are only a few examples of the work of the Pep Qub. Where would our spirit be without the strenuous labor of vivacious cheerleaders? The cheerleaders have carried out num erous successful spirit boasting projects thus far and many others are on this year’s agenda. One of the busiest organizations at Webb is the Student Council. This group, in carrying out plans for dances, elections, the magazine sale, and many other major activities plays an im portant role in spirit growth. Supervision is also needed for successful projects. The Webb faculty working hand in hand with various committees and groups has been a valuable asset to the students. It is true that the Pep Club, cheerleaders. Student Council and faculty have led a successful campaign for school spirit. But, without the cooperation of the individual students, Webb’s school spirit would not be as it is today. Webb students are the real spirit boosters. However, our pep can excel even further if every single person becomes a sincere spirit booster. What is a sincere spirit booster? A sincere spirit booster represents his school with pride, respect, and dignity. He has faith in his school’s team whether it ranks number one or fifty. He sincerely cares about the welfare of his school and puts out every effort to support the school’s activities. Above all he is a person who makes the name “J. F. Webb High School” one that will be in good standing anywhere in the world. Are you that type of person? —Glenda Currin Webb's Weak Link May Be You! Have you ever thought about how your own attitude attrib utes to the well being and success of our school projects, clubs, and activities? The statement “A chain is as strong as its weak est link” applies to each and every one of us here at Webb. Just as each link of a chain must be as strong as possible in order to be of use under pressure, in the same manner each individual at Webb must support to the fullest his link in the chain that makes up Webb. For us to have the best school possible, it is necessary for each individual to accept the responsibility of being the best stu dent possible. The attitudes of the members of a school de termines its well being as well as the way in which it functions. This year many changes have been made and as a result many attitudes will be changed. It is hoped that they will change for the better because with brighter attitudes the students can do more for the school and Webb can in return, do more for them. To make your school work for you, first try working for it by taking part in projects, clubs, and any other activiti^ which can use your support. Is our school what you want it to be? If not, ask yourself this question: Am I the weak link holding Webb (everyone else) back? —Dot Williford Webb Bus Drivers Gain Recognition In the hustle and bustle of the new school year, there are many clubs being formed and lots of homework being done. Sometimes we forget about a very important group of our school, they are our bus drivers. If it were not for them many of our students would have no way of coming to or from school. The new -bus drivers arc learning how to fill out their daily reports and they seem to have a lot of work to do on them. Yet they seem to enjoy their daily tasks of driving, which is usually from two to four hours or more. Our regular bus drivers for this school year are: Kenneth Riggan. Rrodie Jones. James Hightower. Ronnie Bowling. June Eller. Mike Ellington. Pansy Keeton, Steve Champion, Robbie Spencer, Judy Harris, David Weary. Bert Sher man, Gloria .McGhee. Steve Puckett. Sam Watson. Mark Hunt, and Bob* bv Haves, NEWS-IN-BRIEF This year the Webb High cheer leaders have a private office uptown. It is located in the Hancock Build ing on the second floor. The enrollment at Webb this year’s approximately 800. This year we have gained around 100 new students and the freshmen have the largest class. College Night is to be held on November S, at Webb. All Juniors and Seniors are encouraged to at tend. The Juniors will be taking PSAT October 22. Good luck. Juniors. Once again the sweet smell of success came to Webb’s ICT mem bers. Wade Thomas was chosen first vice president of Region 4 of North Carolina VTC.A at the meeting held at Hillside High in Durham, Sep tember 28. His reign extends over major schools in Durham, Greens boro. and surrounding areas. Tommy Currin received a letter of commendation honoring him for his high performance on the 1^68 National Merit Scholarship qualify ing test. He is among 30.000 stu dents who scored in the upper two percent on the test given to 1060 high school graduates. JCL'ers Report On Travel And Elect 1968-69 Officers October 26, Glenda Currin, secre tary of the N. C.

Latin III Club mem bership is open to those who have had Latin II. Hello Readers, I’m delighted to be back at Webb covering the news scene the way I see it. Bill Mitchell, president of the stu dent council “spEarked” off the year with a very impressive assembly. The new teachers were introduced at that time and our new principal gave an inspirational talk. He chal lenged the students to make Webb the best school ever. I’ve been snooping around in the new classrooms, and I’m delighted with them. Can you imagine—ceil ings, recessed lighting, conference rooms, the works! The new art room is a wonder to see. I wish I had taken art this year. As ever, our AG boys are digging in the flower beds, pulling weeds, and replanting dried-up shrubbery. Boys, you might as well give up. There is no end to yard work. Have you noticed how much our student body has increased? Ques tion? Have you ever gotten into a traffic jam at one of the arch ways? One thing about it, now if you are stopped by a teacher or the principal, you can present your I.D. Card. Guess this is one way to check up on us to see if we are where we’re supposed to be. Scouting around at the big home coming event I saw Spectator Sports Editor Tommy Currin and Sanne Jones having a big time. I guess he covers indoor sports, also. .A1 Barnes and Sharon Mullen appear ed to be “boogalooing” on down to the g>’m. VV'hile rummaging through the SPECT.ATOR workroom the other day, I discovered an annual from .\tlantic Christian College—the year — ? B.C. Thumbing through I no- ■ ticed that our own Mar\' T. Stovall was seen around campus with a handsome young male and was vot ed a Senior Superlative as the wil iest of them all! Well people. I got to run be cause I lost my I. D. card and here comes Mr. Stroud. SENIOR SPOniGHT The Senior Spotlight is a column this year which will feature out standing students who are in their last year at Webb. Heading the list of VIP’s is William Adcock, presi dent of the big senior class. As well as being a co-captain of Webb’s mighty eleven, William, so I am told is also very popular with all girls of every age. Although some folks say she may give you a headache while singing “Harry the Hairy Ape,” all folks agree that Jackie Clark is a real nut and a joy to be around. She can really teH great “bat and rat” stories and is aiding the Student Council tremendously as its treas urer. Who says that one is not enough? For awhile Blyant Haskins was the only drummer in Webb’s band and did a great job although he did have to pwund with all his might. Bryant is also business manager of the ’69 Wildcat which will make its debut in the spring. Cute, vivacious, and dependable are adjectives which very vividly describe Susan Fox. This year Susan has taken over the duties of presi dent of the newly organized Pep Club and is in our glamorous Home coming Court. Another of our outstanding Sen iors is Gerald Denny. If you saw him after the Senior class meeting, I bet’cha you noticed a faint blush in his cheeks accented by his sandy blonde hair. That was caused by ellection as vice-president of the 1969 graduating class of J. F. Webb High School. Sludenis Visil Scenic Europe This past summer eight J. F. Webb students were fortunate enough to travel to Europe. The eight, who traveled in three differ ent groups included Becky Lynn Currin, Susan Fox, Lucy Hancock, Patricia Morris, Pam Evans, Dal Mackie, Steve Wright, and Margie Reinitz. The first and largest group stay ed in Europe six weeks and consisted of Becky Lynn Currin, Susan Fox Lucy Hancock, Patricia Morris, ana Pam Evans. Of the six weeks, four were spent in studying in Dundee, Scotland. The last two weeks were spent in visiting London, Paris, and various other tourist spots. Members of the second group were Steve Wright and Dal Mackie. This group attended the Seventh Baptist Youth World Conference in Berne, Switzerland. The tour which lasted three weeks included visits in eight countries with sightseeing in London, Paris, and Rome. The last group had as its mem bers Margie Reinitz and her family. Margie visited eleven countries by Volkswagon in a stay that totaled three months. She also had tours in London, Paris, Rome, and other major cities. All of the students considered their traveling as an enjoyable and rewarding experience and expressed a desire to return. It is indeed a treasure to have the opportunity of s^ing the remainder of the world. PROFILES OF WEBB Note: This column features outstanding underclassmen and teachers. That red-headed wonder of our football team is none other than Harry “D” Dixon. Not only is Harry an all conference grid con tender and co-captain of our Wild cats, but he also participates in bas ketball and track in the off season. Yes, he is the one who looks like Pearl. Who is that pretty brunette soph omore who seems to be everywhere at once? She is often seen serv ing as a substitute cheerleader, as a leading member of the Pep Club, as a member of our student council, and as an occasional passenger in a certain blue Camaro. She could on ly be Teresa Freeman. The president of our brand new freshman class is none other than David Obie Haskins. Yep, that is his real middle name. He can be found marching with our notorious band or dropping his tray ev’eiy other lunch period. He shows great p>otentiality for following in his brother Bryant’s footsteps. Adding to our faculty enrollment this year is Coach Van Wood. He will be our baseball coach and driv er’s Education teacher this year. Coach Wood is also an assistant football coach this year and has done a great job with our Wildcat line.
