Square Dancing Troupe

During our "early years" in high school, some of us Classmates participated in Clogging and during
our Senior years it was Square Dancing. First row, l-r: Debbie Spencer, Brenda Davis, Nancy
Johnson ('72), and Sherry Honeycutt. Back row: Richard Glover, Wilton McMillan ('74), Lewis Suggs,
and Randy Caines. There is a similar picture featured in The North Carolinian section.


This is a different posing of the Square Dancing Troupe above. Apparently, this is part of a series
of pictures taken for a Class Yearbook. This picture was 1 of 2 found in the NCSD Museum by
Curator Jimmy Autrey. The second picture he sent can be found near the bottom of the
Florida page.

A True Extracurricular Activity!

Yes, this picture is shown in our Yearbook and this is the original picture from Richard Glover.
Our Debris Team thought this was hilarious and insisted that I post this on this page.

Jr-Sr Prom, Spring of 1970

This picture was originally posted in the Mystery Page and later placed under the Football/Sports
Banquet above. The girl holding Richard's left hand is Debbie Spencer. She is wearing the same dress
as in the picture below. Richard Glover is in the middle facing away from the camera and Randy
Caines on the left. Photo courtesy of Lester Latkowski.


There is a similar picture like this in our Yearbook under the heading Class Memories so this is
definitely the Prom in the spring of 1970. I remember it being held at the SUB (Student Union Bldg.),
whereas the Jr-Sr Prom of 1969 was held in the gym between Goodwin and Jeter Halls.
Picture courtesy of Richard Glover.

Now these two pictures below are also from the 1970 Prom and yes,  Barbara Morton is a graduate
from the Class of 1969. When I return these pictures back to Richard, I'll ask him for details.

The Green Berets on Campus

These military visitors were actually Green Berets from Fort Bragg.
According to John Smith, Fort Bragg had agreement with NCSD that upon
completion of each jungle training session, the Rangers  would get free
hot showers...in exchange for that, they would visit the students... This
picture, courtesy of Lester, was taken in the Spring of 1970 near the
Water Tower at the east side of  Main Building. Sylvester Stallone
is sitting on rear left of the military vehicle. (This picture was originally
posted on the Mystery Page).

Lewis being shown how to shoot by Green Berets. From what
John Smith told me, they were often visitors at NCSD. Comments

Annual School Picnic in 1965

Photo courtesy of Randy Caines
According to John Smith: "We used to go to the Optimist Park...30 minutes up hwy 181. It was
owned and managed by the local Optimist Club in Morganton...that's now closed. In fact, some NCSD
students won Optimist Club Awards...now Anne just said that she was one of the recipients...wow I
didn't win that award. She said it was for honor students who met their criteria for 4 years".
"Anyway, I remember that we went there for the school's end of year picnic every year in May".

"By the way, I was a lifeguard there 2 summers...one of 2 locals to team up with Marines and
Paratroopers who agreed to provide free lifeguard services to the city...but us high school students
were paid by the city".

These were innocent times! Nowadays, if we were assigned chore duties, the school would be cited
for violation of Child Labor Laws! Ouch!
 Those were the days, my friends, we thought they'll never end!
