OPENING DA T INFORMS STUDENTS OF LIFE AT G.H.S. Opening day proved to be one of the busiest of the entire 67 school year. Tuesday, Sept. 6th, found many Sophomores, as well as Juniors and Seniors arriving early to find their already designated schedules. Adorning the outside of the main building was a spirited sign welcoming the class of '69, furnished by the Seniors. The sign entitled “Howdy Tigers created a feeling of oneness that could be felt throughout the entire year. The traditional assembly, prepared to introduce the teach- ers, was held in the field house and was attended by all three classes consisting of students. Mr. Dobbs directed the assem- bly by introducing old and new teachers, the Student Council officers, and familiarizing the student body of school regula- tions. Following the assembly, the Student Council officers circulated maps outlining the school building to the sopho- mores. The busy week was climaxed by the year’s 1st football game on Friday night. The students proved to be real “Tigers by cheering their team to a triumphant victory over the Emma Sansom Rebels. President of the Student Council, Tommy Traylor, directs G.H.S. students to the field house on the 1st day of school for the traditional assembly. 17 G.H.S students congregate on the steps prior to the beginning of the 1st school day.
