H.1. 1968 Baseball Team The Henderson Institute baseball team has begun another one of its glorious seasons. As this paper goes to press, Henderson is preparing to play its first game, we hope they win. Players who have looked good in practice are: Dennis Scott, Nathaniel Taylor, Joe Mosely, Journalism Class Prophecy Every four years I dedicate my self to take a tour of the States so tha. i may rejoice In the suc cess of my classmates. This year, 1972, on my tour around the states, one night in my hotel room in Los Angeles, Cali fornia, I changed my television to Channel 12 and was astonished to see Mary Waverly and Eugene Faines making a big hit on Howard Terry’s “Jive at Five” Show. Iris Henderson was “Sing ing the Blues” and was accompa nied by Mary Grant at the piano. The next morning on “Morning Devotion” a minister appeared. Guess Who? James Davis, making his first appeal to human souls. While on my way through Texas to Mexico, it was amazing to see an outstanding cattle ranch owned by William Martin. I stopped a few days in the state of Ohio and was informed that Earldine Rodwell and Rosa Tabourn are top-ranking scientists at the Atomic Plant of Ohio Uni versity. While reading over the Phila delphia Inquirer, I was astonished to learn that Thelma Thomas, Glenda Richardson, and Janie Ric hardson were in the state of Penn sylvania as social workers, and Juanita Kelly was working at a recreational center for handicap ped. From reliable sources, I learned that Mary Bracey and Frances Williams quit their jobs as cosme tic salesgirls for marriage and are successful homemakers. Barbara Daye has opened the second largest trucking firm in Baltimore, Maryland. This firm, serves the states of Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. Andrea Fitts and Doro thy Hill are drivers for the firm. I returned to Vance County High School and found Sylvia Ful ler as coach of the girl’s basketball team. I was informed by Mr. Faucette that Alice Cheatham is now a pri vate secretary for President John- Sports writers son at the White House in Wash ington, D. C. As I was traveling further South, my gas was getting low so I happened to stop by P. Jones Service Station and it came to me that Pearson Jones, my old class mate was the proprietor. Vivian Hayes is a happy wife in Mississippi and is a proud moth er of bouncing baby boys and sweet little girls. With nothing to do one night, I glanced in the “Seventeen” maga zine and found that Minnie Kersey and Valissa Williams are famous clothes designers and fashion models in Paris. But, the end of my trip was the most enjoyable part. For whom did I see except our favorite journalism teacher, Mr. E. N. Faucette. He is now the principal at a high school in Washington, D. C. and is raising a nice family. Valissa Williams George Davis, Walter Scott, John Hawkins, James Mosely, Roy Har ris, Prince Burwell, and Eddie Da vis. There are other boys who have great potentials and we hope to get a lot of help from them. Baseball Reporter Pearson Jones The Junior Varsity Basketball Team The Junior Varsity basketball team participated in the first J. V. tournament held at Durham’s Merrick-Moore High School. The J. V. Panthers lost in the first round by the score of 54-48. They were no. 3 in the tournament with a 9-3 record. Their chances seemed to have been very good before the tourna ment because they had beaten every 1.1. Track Team Off To Running Start H I’s track stars have now turned on full speed for the 1968 track season. The boys are working hard to make this season a very successful one. A few of the players are: Gerald Alston, Milton Brodie, Michael Terry, Lenwood Thompson, Robert Thompson, Anthony Marable, Har old Richardson, Richard Fleming, Donald Robinson, George Balth- rope, Michael . Anderson, William Wyche. Coach Avery has made the rules and the boys must abide by them in order to be a winning team. The boys should be at home at 9:00 through the week and at 10:30 on week ends. The boys work out in their spare time. They have nothing to worry about as long as they give it all they’ve got. Who knows, they could come out on top 1 Coach Dissatisfied With Outcome Of Season The team didn’t do as Coach Cash had hoped. They had a fair Basketball year. The season record stands 9 wins and 11 losses. They got off to a good start at the beginning of the season. After a few weeks of good basketball they lost eight of our players because of disciplinary problems. The Panthers are losing three players who are: “Seniors”, Char les Hodge, George Jones and Mi chael Anderson. The most outstanding rebounder was Robert Thompson. Looking forward to another year and they must improve on team play. The team’s philosophy, “He who thinks he knows how to play and knows not is a loser, but he who knows how to play and knows that he knows is a Winner”. Reporter Barbara Daye team in the tournament during their regular season. The main rea son for the loss was a “cold shoot ing” period in the first half and foul trouble in the second half of the game. The J.V. team played well in spots, but could never put it to gether to make- the necessary surge they needed to overcome a hot shooting Roxboro team who could do no wrong. The final results of the tourna ment was held Saturday night, March 23. Merrick-Moore was the champions. They won by a victory over Mary Potter of Oxford, by the score of 54-52. Central of Hillsboro won the consolation game over Roxboro, 42-37. Barbara Daye IIF Homeroom News What H.I. Needs In comparison with other schools Henderson Institute is not up to par. There are many things that are urgently needed. For example, the “old building” is one of the most outdated build ings in the city of Henderson. In room seven (7), the desks are bro ken, to small, or too large, and you can’t even write well on them. The room only has two light bulbs. We don’t have adequate maps, science materials, and other supplies. What does H I need? We first of all need the cooperation of the stu dents, principal, and faculty. Next we need adequate supplies in order to work better. Then, and only then, can we have a better school. James Davis Hello Everyone! Now for a visit to 11-F homeroom and to our teach er, Mrs. V. J. Alston. We have been very busy so far this year. Election of homeroom officers and two vic tories for our class. Our class officers elected are as follows: President, Alice Cheat ham; Vice-President, Samuel Wil liams; Secretary, Shirley Wil liams; Asst. Secretary, Maxine Baskerville, and Treasurer, Shirley Williams. In our classroom meetings we have discussed a number of things. The most important of all was that we discussed what was expected of us as Juniors and how we should conduct ourselves as ladies and gentlemen throughout the school year. Our first victory for 11-F was the winning of the Miss H.I. title by Felcie Young. Great show, Fel- cie! Our second victory was when Delilah Mitchell won the “Miss Musique” title. Congratulations, Delilah 1 If you remember that fabulous talent show, “The Greatest Show On Earth,” presented by our home room on February 27, that was for what we hope is our third victory, we hope. Maxine Baskerville’s mother, Mrs. S. W. Baskerville, is running for Mrs. P.T.A. We’re try ing with all that’s in us to win for her. That takes work and will pow er. And we’re ready to take you on! In today’s strive for success and achievement, students find them selves in the struggle for compe-, tition in all fields of life, including education. Students do not actually criticize education because they re alize that it is a necessity in the modern age. To those who have a definite aim in life, and constantly asking themselves, what can I do to better prepare myself for the goal I’m seeking? He realizes that he has much work to do. In his attain ment of higher goals, he will find on his way up the need for a help ing hand, counseling, guidance, and confidence to steady the way as he reaches the top. Yet, no one has made success without some help, be cause it takes help, time, and effort to make one fit a society without want. Individuals must know that Great Society cannot exist without great citizens, and no society can be free from want unless its citizens are productive. Each student dreams a dream. Each one sees a vision of something great. Each in his own way learns something worth sharing with oth ers. In sharing, he may cause oth ers to see the vision he sees, to have a purpose and a goal in life is to he looked upon as something great. The students are being chal lenged by a g;reat and powerful plan to develop themselvs and those around them. What can students do to help themselves? Do not sit idle; do not wait for someone to tell you what to do; do use your initiative. If the students of today are to build the schools of tomorrow, they must have faith, patience, persis tence, and most of all, a purpose. They can try to use their time wise ly and try to sift the trivial from the important. They can learn to see the potentials in others and seek plain living, and make high thinking fill unforgiving minutes. They will begin to see opportunities and plan to work toward their goal. The teachers have a role to play in helping the students to find themselves in this world of turmoil. They need their teachers for g;uid- ance and a little more teacher-pupil relationship. It takes everyone con cerned to help students build the schools of tomorrow. The challenge that I offer to our students is, you are the school! You are an imposing structure of brick, marble or stone, decorated with stained glass and beauty—you are a modes framework—no different from other buildings, you say? Well, come closer—look carefully— listen: you are the million of heart beats, pulsing through the walls— you are the thousands of footsteps echoing across the floors—you are the hours which add up to years of planning and playing and studying —you are the loyalties and efforts, the heartaches and dreams—the convictions and fulfillments of your teachers and parents. You are the trials of parents; the rush of youth, the eagerness and shyness of little children—you are the ecstasy of love; the aspirations of hope; the futility of failure—you are the shrine of a good housewife, the bus inessman, the woman, the student, and the civic worker. You are the joys and sorrows and you are the schools. You are you. Submitted by: Hazel M. Miller Wishful Thinking I wish I could love as others do. And say to myself I love her too. The first attraction wears off for me. Whom the one I Love, acts naturally. I love her truly, til she starts Acting common, and not her majesty’s part. Then it seems, the fires burn dim. And I wish that she’d go back to him. —John H. Taborn
