Poems By Cathy Gillie
On some more
High on a hill one windy day,
I turned to watch two children play.
One cried out let’s play war.
And so they played and played some more.
But as I sat there on that day,
a vision came of far away.
Of soldiers, guns, blood, and tears,
of wars that last throughout the yeara.
Someday I knew these two small boys,
would be using guns that were not toys.
And as I turned to walk away,
I realized men will always say.
Come boys, we must have a war,
and on it goes and on some more.
Problems
I sit on the edge of my life tonight
And tire world will not know of my pain.
Of whether to drop my clenched fist or fight,
Am I right, am I VTong, or insane?
My heartbeats are fast when the future nears
And I feel that I’m all out of pace.
Thus this fast-moving world brings me to tears,
For I live in a swirling rat race.
My mind spins when I’m near those smart kids
Who win prizes and fortune and fame,
1 feel that inside I’m all slides and skids
But they tell me “It’s part of the game.”
I wish this phase would go spinning past
And adult life miseries would come at last.
Again
And so it ends. And so it begins.
Gases swirling round and round
Leaving earth and leaving ground.
Leaving heat and leaving rain.
And does it many times again.
Then from the “H” and from the “O”,
It forms the water that forms the snow
'Tliat leaves the glacial ice debris.
In grows the plant and grows the tree.
Then one-celled things make two and three
and four and more and more and more.
Tlien comes the wooly, hairy ape
Without a coat, without a cape to keep him warm when
it’s cold.
'And while he learns, he soon grows old.
And comes another weary clan
Who’s a smarter, stronger, newer man.
But even he must stalk the night with club,
then stone, then gun to fight
The enemies who aren’t there,
But only those who just don’t care for
what the former has in miind.
If peace, or war or some such kind
Of problem should arise
Neither team, will compromise
Until the doom that hits them all
Stretched as nothing more than a ball with
proton, neutrons, and such alike
That one such team must use the tool
that blows us all to smithereens.
And so it ends. And so it begins.
Oases swirling round and round
To begin the destruction that hasn’t been found
for the Capital Area Confer
ence title. The devils were
downed 2 games to 1 in their
attempt for the conference ti
tle.
Barry Foote led the team in
hitting with a .563 average
followed by Ronnie Hopkins
with a .517 average. Hopkins,
who won the outstanding player
award, also fashioned a 6-0
pitching record. Other outstand
ing-players were Craig Ennis,
Joe Parrish, Harry Hopkins,
Mickey Jones, Billy Barnes,
Danny Overby, Bennie Hatcher,
and Danny Blackmon. Ken
Mozingo, Randy Castleberry,
Charles Pilkington, Billy Wor
sham, and Wayne Burnette
were key reserves.
Coach Payne has done an out
standing job with this squad
which is certainly one of the
best in the state.
About the biggest new hit
on the fashion scene is pants,
■pants, and more pants. Any
color, combination of colors,
prints, combination of prints,
and any material as long as
they’re bell-bottomed. Open
neck blouses with a scarf tuck
ed in the neck-line add a touch
of feminiety and complete the
look. However, if you tire of
blouses, try a long tunic over
the pants. Some of these tunics
are long enough to be worn by
themselves as dresses. To com
plement the bellibottoms wear
small heels or why not try a
pair of the new high-heeled
sandals. They are no longer
made for grandmother!
Mrs. Radford — “Look girls!
If I can do it you can too.”
Pam Bason —“This is true.”
Jim Sellers — “Oh, come on
Mrs. Peele.”
Danny Strickland — “You’ve
just got to pick on me, haven’t
you Mrs. Peele?
Mr. Payne — “Now Ronnie...”
Paula Jones — “My goodness”
Riandy Castleberry — “Say,
home.”
Mrs. Wilkins — “Now Sen
iors . . . Now Juniors . . .”
Alan Gardner — “Call Mom
my.”
Clayton Narron — “Gracious”
Tommy Bell —

Jim Wilson — “You’ro com
mon.’
Kathy Moore — “Oh gosh!”
Johnny Gregory — “Mr.
Payne, I read an article some
where the other day. . .
Roderick Ennis — “You bet
ter know that!”
TRACK
Smithfield’s track squad un
der the direction of Charles
Hooks and Roy Brown enjoyed
an outstanding season this year.
The squad won four dual meets
and three tri-meets in the reg-
'“^ular season to go undefeated.-
They placed third at the Con
ference meet, and tied for fourth
at the Sectional Meet.
Much of the credit for this
fine record goes to the hard
work and determination of the
squad members and the coach
ing of Hooks and Brown.
Among the outstanding mem
bers of this squad were sprint
er Johnny Smith, who won the
outstanding player award and
qualified for the state finals;
Sammy Byrd in the 440; Lin-
wood Bunce and Terry Lassiter
in the 880; Jim Sellers in the
mile run; Mack Laiigdon in
the Shot-put and discus; Bob
Forbes, Craig Price, and James
Smith in the high jump, broad
jump and pole vault.
The 880 relay team (Bill
Teague, Mike Rabil, Eddie Ra
hil, Johnny Smith) and the mile
relay team (Sammy Smith, lar-
ry Barnes, Larry Kimball, Sam
my Byrd) both set new school
records in their respective races.

Another casual' look this
summer is the bra dress. It is
comfortable and extremely
nice for showing off a summer
tan. Wear it at the beach! I
think most people will agree
with me that the beach means
swimwear, and this year there
is the largest selection of
swimming suits ever. A few of
the most popular are the baby-
doll or empire with bikini
pants, the two piece and if
you’re really, daring-the bikini.
Making a big comeback this
year is the one-piece suit. In
slinky fabrics and a variety of
styles, they are most appeal
ing. No matter what you swim
in, be sure to compliment it
with a matching or co-ordina
ting cover-up. A new look in
cover-ups is terry cloth. It’s
come a long way from a beach
towel and is now heavenly
fluff for wearing.
For those soft, summer
nights, “anywhere” the ultra
feminine look is “in”. Culti
vate this look with frilly blou
ses, Juliet dresses with puffed
sleeves, pastels and delicate
flowery prints. The soft simple
peasant dresses add to the
charm of a romantic summer.
SHS SPRING CONCERT
On Tliursday night. May 15,
the SHS Chorus held tlieir an
nual spring concert. i
GOLF
Smithfield had an excellent
golf team this year, winning
6 matches and losing 4. With
this record they earned third
place in the Capital Area Con
ference. Team members were
Alan Gardner, Bill Teague,
Neal Welch, Jerry Pernell, and
Don Symoirs. Bobby Pope ser
ved as coach. The golf team
members and the coach did a
fine job this year in compiling
this outstanding record.
The program consisted of
many songs in the different
catagories of religion and pop
ular entertainment. The tenors
and bass entertaied by dancing
to two selections. Kenneth Mat
thews also sang “The Impos
sible Dream” for a solo selec
tion.
The SHS Chorus and Mrs.
MacClean should really be com
mended for sudh a fine perform
ance.
Rebecca Talton — “Dumb”
Kathy Reece — “You fruit
loop!”
Bill Teague — “Fat city.”
Jennifer Barbour
Another look in pants is the
suspendered or bibbed shorts
and long pants suits These are
especially striking with light,
frilly blouses underneath.
For a really daring look, try
the short, short pants skirts,
otherwise known as scooter
skirts.

Mardi Gras
Saturday evening, the Jun
iors arid Seniors celebrated the
well-known Mardi Gras. Benny
Hatcher welcomed; all those
present, and an exciting pro
gram began. It all ibegan when
Jim (Randy Castleberry) and
Betty (Becky Daughtry) tour
ed the famour French Quarter
of New Orleans. Our couple
was first entertained by Danny
Strickland who sang “To
night”. Then the Can-Can
Girls (Nancy Whitley, Kaye
Southerland, Terry Lansinger,
Kathy Moore, (iladys Moye,
and Sally Rollins) really set a
mood of gaiety. Linda Simp
son introduced the blues by
singing “Birth of the Blues.”
The jazz band entertained with
“Basin Street Blues” and
“Birth of the Blues.” Donald
Liles set a more serious mood
by singing “Ole Man River.”
Kathy Wood followed with
“After You’re Gone.” The Jazz
dancers (Jenny Batten, Pam
Eason, Jennifer Barbour, Ann
Creech, Diane Lancaster, Kay
Jones, Gloria Brown, Linda
Simpson, Mary Jo Stephenson)
came sw;inging out and after
a brief pause, performed to
“Ode to Billy Joe” Mary Lan
caster then entertained with
“Blues in the Night.” To the
delight of those viewing, Deb
bie Jernigan, alias Gypsy Rose
Lee, stripped to the famous
“Stripper”. Denise Willie then
sang “St. Louis Blues” and
Edward Stephenson entertain
ed with “Moon River.” Rex,
King of Mardi Gras, was Gene
Cooke, and Becky Yarborough
was the Queen of Mardi Gras.
These Mardi Gras celeberties
were introduced by that fam-
ious TV. Commentator, Danny
Stricklind.
The “Who’s Who” were in
troduced and the danoing be
gan. Everyone danced through
the streets of New Orleans to
the music of Lee Roger’s band.
The Juniors and Seniors
would like to thank all those
who helped with refreshments
and the program. Their help
was greatly appreciated.
