These Were the Days ~ 1966-67

This was downtown Boone, still pretty much a one light town.

Sadie Hawkins Day was the highlight of the year and students and teachers participated in the good spirited fun. The sophomore class worked hard to turn Watauga High into Dogpatch, USA for the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance.
Everyone who attended was dressed in the typical Daisy Mae and Li'l Abner costumes. After much observation the judges chose Ollie Jackson and Tommy Kirk as the most representative of Daisy Mae and Li'l Abner.
Music was by the "UNDECIDEDS".

The Undecideds provide the music for the girls to catch boys by. The band was composed of both sophomores and juniors and provided entertainment at many local functions.

What is that strange item these students are studying? Is it a model of the planet Saturn? Contemplating the problems of our modern and troubled world are Barney Hodgson and Betty Schull, our "Most Intellectual" seniors.

In those days students actually knew what a "globe" was. When was the last time you saw a globe in a classroom? How interesting in this day of political and geographical change that just a few years ago, something like a globe could be considered a valid reference! ;-)

Music groups were quite the thing in 66-67. This is another WHS band. This band was known as "the TRANSITOR TANGERINES" and was a senior singing group composed of Barney Hodgson, Gary Meeks, and Jimmy Higgins.
