Well. Monday, August 25, was a
day of dread for many and a day of
anticipation for others. The first day
of school had come! With it came the
icgret of a too quickly passed
summer and un full filled plans, but
also a chance to see friends not seen
all summer. For most however, all
thev saw was a lot of homework.

term papers, book reports, projects,
football, basketball, and baseball
practices, band, singing, walking back
and forth across school ax times a
day (they never give you the same
side of the street two periods in a
row), clubs, activities, and all the
other 'little' things that go along with
being in high school.
On Monday morning Mr. Edwards
welcomed back the seniors, juniors
and sophomores and faculty, and for
the first time welcomed the
upcoming freshmen. While everyone
always likes to give the freshmen a
hard time, and make sure they are
"seen and not heard," everyone
remembers what their freshman year
was like (total chaos and confusion!),
and really wishes the best of luck to
the freshmen in adjusting to Hoke
Hi$i.
School started at 8:10 on Monday
and was let out at 11:00. The first
day was spent in getting our
schedules and getting all the rules
and regulations, and privileges. For
those students who have schedule
conflicts or don't like the subjects
they chose at the end of last yeat.
there will be a set time for each of
the classes to get their schedules
changed or corrected. Something
new this year, and great, is that
everyone, except the freshmen, will
have a locker. Each student is
required to obtain a lock and give a
copy of the key or combination to
their homeroom teacher. I'm sure
everyone is relieved about this.
Tuesday was the first full day of
school.
Mr. Edwards has been in Raeford
and with Hoke High for over a year
now. and w ith the start of his second
year we hope the many changes
being made at Hoke High will prove
to be best for the school, and make
this year a challenging one as well as
a fun and rewarding year for him and
the faculty and students.
For some, school is a year-round
job. Mr. Edwards and many people
have worked especially hard this
summer to better the school and to
keep it and the school grounds
looking great. If you know someone
who has worked at the school this
summer, you should tell them what a
good job they have done. Also, many
people have worked with the
Guidance Dept. in getting all of the
1650 students' schedules ready, and
some of the library staff have been
working getting the library ready for
use shortly after school opens.
The l"irst day for the faculty was
Monday. August 18. We can be sure
they have been working hard in
getting ready to load the homework
on us' The Student Council went
Friday for orientation. Some of
those going were Glendia Black,
president: Donnie Holmes]
vice-president; and the secretary and
treasurer.
The Hoke High Band has already
begun practice for the many halftime
shows it will do this football season,
both at home and at away games.
The band, under the direction of
Jimmy James, works very hard
during football season to perfect
these halftime shows and rehearses
many times at night as well as an
hour every day. For most of the
band, marching again was jusl a
matter of remembering what they
did last year and keeping in step. For
the freshmen it was hard work and
another new experience, along with
many others to come for them. The
band will perform its first halftime
how on September 5 th which is the
day of the lust home football game.
The 1975 Varsity Bucks begin a
new and especially challenging year.
Under the coaching of Bill Cameron,
and assistant coaches Terry Grier and
John Buchholz. the Bucks move
from the 3A to 4A Conference
teams. The Bucks began practicing a
few weeks before the beginning of
school and have been working out
getting ready for their first game.
The football season begins on Friday.
August 29. when the Bucks will have
an away game and play Southern
Durham. The first home game will be
on September 5. against Pine Forest
of Fayctteville. I hope that everyone
thai possibly can. will come out and
give the Bucks the support they
deserve.
On Monday afternoon, from 1 to
4 p.m.. Seventy-First High School of
Fayetteville was host lor the
Cumberland County Choral
Directors' workshop. About 20
directors, representing Seventy-First.
Pine Forest. Cape Fear. South View,
and Douglas Byrd High Schools were
there, as well as numerous directors
from various elementary schools in
surrounding counties. Hoke High's
choral director. Mrs. Mary Archie
McNeill, was the instructor and
director for the workshop and 23
students who came from the various
high schools to sing and aid Mrs.
McNeill in demonstrating the many
choral techniques she uses at Hoke
High.
Those students tliat attended from
the Hoke High Chorale and Chorus
were Cissy Moses, Susan Gillis, alios;
Joanna Best. Martha Shaw Clark,
Mary Kaye Staton. sopranos; Barry
Ellis. Mike Johnson. Ronnie Ellis,
tenors: and Bill Hood, baritone.
Miriam Ropp. a music major at the
University of South Carolina, who is
trom Raeford and a former student
ot Mrs. McNeill, was the accompanist
for the workshop. Miriam did an
outstanding job. and everyone is
indebted to her lor donating her time
and talenl.
Refreshments were served
afterwards at which time everyone
talked and got better acquainted.
The directors then met for an hour
and compared plans and made new
plans for their choral groups. They
also discussed new choral techniques
and ways to improve their old ones.
I am going to enjoy writing HOKE
HIGHLIGHTS very much for the
students of Hoke High and the
citizens of Raeford and Hoke
County. I want everyone to please
I eel free to give me any
announcements about group or club
activities that involve Hoke High in
any way. I will be glad to mention
them in this column.
I hope you will enjoy reading this
column this school year as much as I
will enjoy writing it.

Holiday Toll Predicted
High teen persons could lose their
lives in North Carolina traffic
accidents over the Labor Day
weekend, Paul B. Marion, president
of the N. C. State Motor Club,
predicted.
"We are pleased that holiday
fatalities this year are running behind
last year's total." Marion said, "and
we are hopeful dial Labor Day will
not be an exception."
The motor club executive said til at
26 persons were killed on Tar Heel
highways a year ago during a 78-hour
period. This vear's holiday weekend
is also 78 hours, from 6 p.m. Friday,
August 29. until midnight Monday,
September I.
Marion pointed out that excessive
speed was involved in 13 of last
year's 26 deaths. "We certainly hope
that won't happen again this year,"
he said, "and we urge travelers to
obey the 55-mile-per-hour limit."
"By observing existing safety
procedures." he commented, "we
can continue to cut d iwn on
highway deaths. It is vitally
important tit at each driver make
caution his prime responsibility."

GUARD AGAINST
HEAT STROKE/
EXHAUSTION
If you're butting
helmets this Fall on the
gridiron, or doing any
other kind of heavy-duty
exercise, try to avoid heat
stroke and heat
e xhaustion. It's not
unusual for either to "set
in" this time of year.
Heat stroke occurs when
the body fails to adjust to
extreme heat and humidity
after intensive workouts.
Heat exhaustion, on the
other hand, occurs from a
lack of salt and potassium.
This deficiency can also
cause fatigue.
By itself, salt is not
IJjenough to ward off heat
exhaustion. Be sure to
include potassium .
Excellent sources are
? bananas and the popular
drink, Gator-Aid. Salt
V tablets can be obtained at
the drug store.
Safety First - Never take medication in
the dark, no matter how sure you think
you are about its location.
