2 1969 Crucible Gadsden High Gadsden, Alabama Volume 43 3 Another school year had come and gone ... so much had happened, yet it seemed such a short lime from that first pep rally to the last hot day of classes. . . . What hap- pened to our year? We made many memories—Homecom- ing. Talent Shows. Graduation memories of happy times . . . memories of sad times. ... So we laughed, and we cried; we worked, and we played; we won, and we lost. . . . And we were proud to be Tigers at Gadsden High School, because 1969 was the Year of the Tiger. The Year of the Tiger. . . 16—51 5 The stretched-out fingers of a long-legged football player as he strained to catch a crucial pass . . . the over-worked muscles, trembling with fatigue, glistening with perspira- tion . . . the golfer, the quarterback, the pitcher, the hurdler, the forward, the coaches, the fans ... all these combined to color the athletic year of’68-'69. The crowds waited with tense expectation . . . and the Tigers won again and again ... One. two. three.. . clap! 52—83 A thletics Not every person at Gadsden High was an athlete, hut everyone participated in the Tiger way of life . . . whether as an artist, an actor, a musician, a debater, or a monitor. There were organizations to satisfy the needs of every in- dividual. whoever he may have been and whatever he may have excelled in . . . clubs to promote school spirit, clubs to perform for the student body, and clubs to record the memories of other organizations. Organizations .............. 84—115 9 The underlying theme of the academic year 196H-69 was excellence . . . excellence in mind and in body. Some exceptional Tigers- outstanding in scholarship, leader- ship. and service—were recognized for their achievements by special honors awarded them. The Valedictorian. Salutatorian, Honor Society. Senior Notables. Thes- pians. Velvetones. Triads, and Cheerleaders . . . these were the best of the best! ll The lap-tap-tap of an electric typewriter . . . The grunts and the groans of a P.E. class . . . The melodious voices of choral groups, blended into pleasing harmony . . . The steady concentration of an artist at work . . . The laughter of a noisy class . . . The hushed intensity of a study period in the library, or a sophomore taking his first big test. . . . There were some of the aspects of an ordinary school day . . . These were the Tigers . . . This was Gadsden High. Academics ............... 140—235 13 Whether they offered shoes for our feet, clothes for our bodies. Senior rings, or milk to make our bones grow. Gadsden merchants always supplied Tigers with the finest of their goods or services . . . Half the fun of high school life was shopping after school . . . for ourselves and for others . . . for Christmas and for birthdays . . . for special occasions and just for love. 14 ABOVE: President of the Student Council, Chris Roberts, cordially wel- comes the students and faculty to a new year at GHS.

Sophomores felt at home when they saw the large banner over the main entrance, “Seniors Welcome The Rest of the Best!” The traditional opening day assembly, held in the field house, was opened with greetings from both the principal, Mr. F. T. Dobbs, and the Student Council President, Chris Roberts. The students became acquainted with the teachers as Mr. Dobbs introduced the faculty members in- dividually. In order to answer the newcomers' inquiries and to refresh the “old students' minds, Mr. Dobbs explained the rules and regulations to be followed by all students at Gadsden High School. After the assembly, the students went through their previously scheduled classes, and school was dismissed at twelve-thirty. 19 Seniors Top $25,000 Goal The 1969 Senior Class produced S25,354 during magazine sales.

Cupid Reigns to the '69 Theme Our Winter Love “Our Winter Love” was the theme of the annual Valentine Dance which was presented Friday, February 7, 1969, by the Student Council. The names of Student Council mem- bers and their dates were written on red hearts, held by white snowmen and placed around the balcony. Similar miniature snowmen formed the centerpieces for the tables. The main decoration scheme was carried out on the stage where a red and white gazebo was the focal point of a park scene.

Recsa l.umpkin. and Rita Harrell represent the variety of enter- tainment which can be found at Alice’s. The curtain opened February 13, 1969, on Alice's Res- taurant as couples jilterbugged to the music of a Dixieland band. A platoon of Vietnam-bound soldiers who were seeking relief from the Mardi Gras stopped the action abruptly. The proprietor of the restaurant, Alice, portrayed by Steve Patty, refused them entrance, for the club was open only for a reunion of 1940 performers. Nevertheless, the soldiers ignored him and invaded Alice's, demanding entertainment. Alice presented the can-can girls, followed by the Uncle Sam Sisters, whose song was interrupted by an over-anxious GI, Tim Finley, who hopefully advanced toward an inviting country girl. Her mother viciously attacked the soldier, and deploring the wild atmosphere, declared that Alice's was no place for respectable people and stormed out, followed by her 1940 compatriots. As the old folks left. Rod Robinson began a temperance speech that brought the audience to its feet following a remark about “that great black book in the sky. After Darwin Jordan sang “Rocky Raccoon , one of the soldiers wandered into the street and induced Robyn Vissing, Nancy Bowers and Wanda Lamberth to dance for his comrades. The soldiers, depressed by their predicament, united in song with their own version of “Fixing to Die Rag.” Their spirits were revived, however, by the soul sounds of Reesa and Sheila Lumpkin, the Soul Sisters, and the Temptations. The festivities were then interrupted by the Mod Squad and policeman David Thomas, who cap- tured their long-pursued criminal. Randy Cosby. Hippie Randy Ryan, who had serenely observed all that had previously happened, began singing “You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant, and was joined by all the Seniors in the closing scene of the talent show.

March 25, 1969, the Genie (Gary Bush) bade the audience to join the Junior class for a “Blowout in Baghdad.” The show- opened in the palace of the sultan (Johnny Johns) who demanded to be entertained. His wish was granted as The Harem Dancers performed for him, but the greedy sultan was not pacified. His assistant (Will Chamberlin) was given a last chance, producing Jezebel and the Harem Singers who sang “Bau- bles, Bangles, and Beads.” The sultan, still dissatisfied, summoned the Genie, who proceeded to introduce the kind of talent the sultan desired. The Supremes and Temp- tations ensued by The Everyday People rejuvenated the old desert atmosphere and fulfilled the sultan's desires. The mood was suddenly slowed down by a sextet who sang “The Look of Love” but was immediately speeded up by the Soul Dancers who did a sensational modern dance to “Ramblin Man.” The show ended after the sultan's ultimate wish, to see the Banana Splits, was granted and he was carried off on his magic carpet.

This delightful production will be remembered for the unique innovations that were introduced. The show centered around a group of American tourists (Donna Akins, Mary Ellen Jones, Wanda Al- dridge) and their obnoxious guide (Roger Harden), who proceeded on a very entertaining tour through England, Spain, Germany, Holland and France. On this fantastic journey, the tourists were astounded by many bizarre occurrences, such as encountering the self-professed world’s greatest bullfighter (Earlie Jones) in Spain and meeting a singing Dutch girl (Julie Duke) in Holland. A visit to a French discotheque proved interesting as the Topless II (Tom Musselman and Pete Miller) and Miss Nanny Fanny (Debbie Klyce) shocked the customers. The tourists suddenly grew homesick and began singing “Give Me a Ticket for an Aeroplane. Their wishes were fulfilled, and soon they reached their homeland. ABOVE: Folktale of “Wynkin.

Both of these events were highlighted by assemblies for the entire student body. For one week prior to election day, the candidates bom- barded their fellow-students with ingenious signs, slogans, and cards. When the day of the assembly finally arrived, the candidates were introduced by their “Campaign Man- agers after which they spoke of their reasons for seeking office, their ideas of the purpose of the Student Council, and their hopes for the coming year. The following day, the Student Body went to the polls and elected the follow- ing people as officers for 1969-70: Jack Kelly, President; Al Hill, Vice-President; Peggy Evans, Secretary; Nancy Carlock, Treasurer; Melisa Gibson, Reporter.

The three class beauties elected were Janie Pruitt, senior, Mary Brothers, junior, and Babs Rayburn, sophomore. The three beauties and members of the CRUCIBLE staff went to the Ramada Inn in Tuscaloosa on April 30 to meet the world-famous singing group, the Association.

Randy Pope was the key man, latching onto Jay Whitt’s passes for 23 yards plus a nine yard charge in the second play. David Beason made the touchdown after Whitt found him alone on the Reb ten. David Norman missed the PAT, but the Tigers were the only ones with life on the scoreboard. In the second quarter the Rebs found a hole in the Tiger defense and hot-footed 22 yards to a touchdown. San- som’s Eastwood kicked the extra point to break the tie. In the last few minutes of the first half, John Scott scam- pered 55 yards on the kickoff to the Reb's 37 yard line. Whitt, Pope, and Scott in four thrilling plays from scrim- mage changed the score to 12—7 with Scott making the touchdown. The scoring stopped here but not the action. The second half was tough with the Rebs keeping the ball in Bengal territory, holding the Tiger fans on their feet. Coley intercepted the ball and the final 20 seconds ticked off the clock. For the sixth year in succession the Rebs succumbed to defeat by the Tigers. 56 Tigers Trample Aggies ABOVE: The referee and an Aggie lineman watch as the PAT sails through the uprights. BELOW RIGHT: Tigers square off against Aggies. BELOW: David Thomas’ feelings about the previous play are obvious. Gadsden's first score came on a drive from the Albertville 31. A Whitt to Croyle pass and a Beason run for nine yards both enabled Scott to charge in from the one and score. Norman missed the PAT, but the Tigers had begun their scoring streak. With 57 yards in seven plays from runs by Pope and Beason, Usry put it across. Wheeler's extra point made the score 13—0. In the third quarter Croyle intercepted an Albertville pass and Scott scored by running the oval around right end. Wheeler booted the margin to 20—0. The final TD's were in the last quarter. Whisenant grabbed a blocked Aggie punt and rolled inside the goal. The PAT was good. After a 56-yard drive, Usry scored from the five, and Wheeler again kicked the point. Wheeler's pass interception and runback set up the final score with Usry carrying it over. Wheeler missed the PAT, and the final score was 43—0. 57 Tigers Wallop Wildcats The Tigers marched over their opponents by beating Fort Payne 29—0. Gadsden scored twice in the first half when Pope charged over into the end zone with Wheeler kick- ing the PAT. Later, Pope again scored but fumbled: Watts fell on it making the score 13—0. Second half play saw TD action with drives by Beason and Watts again allowing Pope to hit paydirt. Wheeler's PAT was good. Another GHS drive was stopped on the one, but the Cats were dropped for a safety. Watts later hit Croyle for the final TD and Croy le's PAT was good. ABOVE: The way for Charlie Waits looks clear as the only Wildcat blocking his path is brought down. RIGHT: Gadsden end John Croyle pull§ in a pass before a Wildcat tackles him. 58 Gadsden's first score came in the second quarter when Charlie Watts grabbed a punt and ran 60 yards for a touch- down. Tommy Miller added the PAT. When the Bears fumbled a punt, Gadsden recovered. Five plays later Jay Whitt hit Larry Whisenant and the PAT made it 14—0. Croyle then helped end first half scoring when he took a 38-yard pass from Whitt. Tuscaloosa drove right back for its only score of the game. In the final half Whitt ended a 38-yard drive with a TD. The last points came when Whitt hit Chestnut for an 18- yard pass. The final score was 34—7. ABOVE: Scott jumps high to prevent a pass from entering the hands of a wary defender.

Hungry Gadsden Tigers Chomp Etowah Devils Gadsden stomped the Etowah Devils again for the eighth time out of nine meetings. The Tigers' defense made scor- ing a cinch for the offense and made sure that in this meeting there would be no change of pace. A Croyle punt- block coupled with a Whisenant return set Gadsden ahead seven points the second time the Tigers had the ball. Later, Charlie Watts intercepted a pass on the Bengal 38 yard line, but the position did not pay. Coley speared an- other pass for the second interception and set up Croyle and Whisenant for a TD. Croyle kicked the point, and the score was 14—0. Etowah then managed a score, putting the Tigers and Devils in a 14 7 situation. Quick thinking helped Whisenant score again. Croyle's PAT was good, and the score rose to 21—7. With a run by Whitt and passes to Croyle and Beason, Pope slammed home an- other TD. With ease Croyle split the uprights, and the Bengals took the prize at a 28—7 cost. 60 ABOVE: Charlie Thompson and Larry Hare unload the equipment be- fore the game begins. RIGHT: Randy Pope dives into the end one. Gadsden Tigers Swat Oxford Yellow Jackets Amos Street and Darryl Dunn team up to tackle this Yellow Jacket. Gadsden erased Oxford from the unbeaten list by a 36—6 score. David Beason drove three yards; Tommy Miller latched onto a 39-yard bulls-eye from Watts; Randy Pope counted twice for the Tigers on ten and one yard trips; and Larry Whisenant hauled in a ten yard pitch from Whitt for Gadsden’s touchdowns. John Croyle kicked four extra points, and the Tigers made a safety when Oxford's center snapped the ball out of the end zone on a punting situation. In addition, Gadsden's fine defense held the pre- viously active Oxford ofTense to small yardage, inter- cepted three passes, and recovered one fumble.

LEFT: The expressions on Coach Steven’s face mirror his emo- tions about some of the plays of the game. 61 Tigers Collar Bulldogs in Homecoming Battle The Tigers pushed 30 yards in four quick snaps to beat the halftime clock and the Anniston Bulldogs 7—0. Charlie Watts’ 22-yard return of an Anniston punt set the Tigers on the Bulldog 30 late in the first half. Whitt passed to Scott for 13 and ran twice himself for gains of 12 and three yards down to the 'Dog two. From there Usry drove into the end zone, and Croyle kicked the PAT. In the second half the Tigers outgained Anniston de- cisively in the offensive department, but lost four fumbles; and an intercepted pass checked numerous Tiger drives.

Unwary Gadsden Tigers Fall Under Panther Claws Billed as the top team in the state, a crippled Tiger squad met its first match of the season in the Huntsville team. The Panthers started things ofT by running 78 yards to the goal line, only to have an illegal motion penalty nullify the score. Later in the first half, the Tigers drove to the Panther 10 and later to their 25 before they ran out of downs. David Beason, John Scott, and Tommy Miller were the key men in these drives. In the third quarter, Feming of Huntsville kicked a field goal for the first score of the game. Then Hall inter- cepted a Watts pass and set things up for Huntsville on the Gadsden 25-yard line. In three plays Huntsville crossed the Tiger goal line. The scoreboard flashed 9—0 after an unsuccessfully attempted extra point. ABOVE: The crowd cheers as the Tigers drive into Huntsville territory. LEFT: Dave Beason struggles to grab a pass before being tackled. 63 Powerful Tigers Skin the Cullman Bearcats Jay Whitt, the starring quarterback for the Tigers, showed Cullman the danger of a Bearcat in a Bengal jungle. The Tigers pulled a 26—0 hood over the Bearcats’ eyes and disappointed many as they were 4A favorites. Jay Whitt put the cards on the table by hitting ten out of 12 passes to make good three touchdowns. Pope put the Tigers in scoring distance and a quick pass from Whitt to Croyle in the end zone put the Bcngals up front where they stayed. The score was 19—0 when the Tigers trotted off the field at half-time. The second half showed fast action with Croyle, Scott, Pope, and Whisenant chalking up points for the Tiger offense. Another Pope touchdown and a perfect PAT by Croyle pul the cap on the bottle for another GHS win. Unhampered by Cullman defenders. Randy Pope races into the end zone for the final touchdown of the evening. While the scoreboard reads 12—0, Croyle turns to grab a pass. Buddy Usry does his best to get away from a crowd of Bearcats. 64 Devils Down the Tigers In Charity Bowl Clash Some 9,000 fans, in shock or ecstasy, watched as Etowah beat Gadsden 6 0 in the Charity Bowl. Etowah scored when Wayne Dollar passed to John Phillips on the ten, and he ran it into the end zone. The PAT attempt was stopped as David Norman ran over Devil offenders to slap the ball down. The final score was written off, but not the contest. Gadsden had many drives that left the Tigers deep in Devil territory, but each was unsuccessful. LEFT: Our man on every scene.

In- terested students were kept well informed about school events and other activities. It reported news events around the school, happenings in Gadsden High sports, and achievements by a number of the students. On the edi- torial page and in political polls, the opinions of the stu- dents were discussed. The Magnavox. had articles dealing with ideas of students on issues and questions of American government and international politics, ternational politics. The Magnavox staff used new methods and ideas to raise the quality of the newspaper. Furthermore, within its own structure, it gave students the necessary experience and provided them a laboratory for journalistic training.

Several Thespians, each portraying a character from Gone With the Wind, jour- neyed to Birmingham in January to the state Thespian con- vention. On the evenings of April 24th and 25th, after many extra hours of rehearsal, the actors presented a sparkling three-act comedy. Everybody Loves Opal, which proved to be a triumphant conclusion to a successful year. Ann Anderson, starring as Opal in the annual Thespian play, falls to the floor with an expression of shock and fear bursting from her face when she suddenly realizes an attempt has been made on her life.

The National Honor Society of GHS was among the most important clubs of the year '68-'69. The criteria for mem- bership were scholarship, leadership, character, and ser- vice. The teachers considered these characteristics when they voted on the list of eligible students. To be con- sidered for membership, students had to have a “B aver- age. The main purpose of the Honor Society was to instill in its members a greater striving toward seemingly unat- tainable goals. At the end of the year, the newly inducted members gave the old members of the Honor Society a picnic at Gadsden's Noccalula Falls. This served to bring the students together for a time of recreation and enjoyment. 125 The old members of the Honor Society are: Jay Whitt. Larry Lough. Christie Adams.

Patience with Students Characterizes Mr. Dobbs This year Mr. Dobbs provided Gadsden High with the lead- ership which for years had been indispensiblc to our school. Next to his students, high school athletics received the greatest portion of his attention. His renowned devotion to sports earned for him a chair on the board of directors of the Alabama High School Athletics Association and mem- bership in the Central Board of Control, the judiciary panel of high school sports in Alabama. A seat on this board was the highest honor that could be bestowed upon a school official in the state. However, his outside interests placed second to his patience with students' problems.

Mr. Dobbs finds a moment to read the paper and to relax for a few moments in peace and quiet. 144 Mr. Keener Disciplines Gadsden High Students Mr. Keener attended Jacksonville State University and taught at the St. Clair and Ragland high schools before teaching at GHS. This year he served as our Assistant Principal. As faculty advisor, Mr. Keener was always available to listen to student and teacher problems. He also supervised tardy students and discipline problems. During the few after-school hours, Mr. Keener attended school functions such as the football games. Another of his favorite pastimes was playing the banjo, which he did on television. But more important than any of these hobbies was his school work. Mr. Keener said that his main ob- jective was to try to assist boys and girls in the difficult process of growing up. Mr. Keener's varied duties range from diplomatically answering ques- tions by phone to speaking enthusiastically at pep rallies. Mrs. Lewiski keeps the school's accounts and sends transcripts of seniors’ grades to colleges, as well as acting as Mr. Dobb’s personal secretary. Office Efficiency Helps Fulfill Student Needs Without the guidance of the office staff, our school would have been much less organized. Mrs. Lewiski was the registrar, whose work consisted of compiling students’ rec- ords and sending transcripts. During the day, Mrs. Bandy typed, took telephone calls, and helped teachers in many ways. Guidance counselor, Mrs. Burton, was available to students for advice on college selection and other prob- lems. These three people were always willing to go out of the way to keep Gadsden High free of problems. The organized hustle and bustle of Gadsden High School's office is due to the supervision of Mrs. Mildred Bandy. The regulation of GHS students’ scholastic futures is under the direction of Mrs. Charlene Burton, our guidance counselor. 146 The many complicated administrative duties of library life are the responsi- bility of Mrs. Elizabeth Pruett, as Head Librarian. Looking through one of the many books in our library's selection, this girl tries to decide whether or not she wants to check out a book. Chamber of Knowledge Inspires Great Learning The Library Department was a great help to the students with their courses. Almost every teacher required history, biography or fictional books to be read and the pupils found a never-ending supply in the library. A quantity of required books in paperback was also sold in the book- store. In leisure time, students scanned a variety of maga- zines or read a newspaper of years ago. As students veri- fied, the library was an essential part of Gadsden High. Mrs. Edna Cunningham, Assistant Librarian, show the wide variety of paperback books that a student can purchase in the book store. 147 Kathryn Shamblin Genny McDaniel Mary R. Cowart Glenda Goodson Loyall D. Taylor Helen Owens Grammar and Lit Open the Door to Adventure This year the English Department emphasized English literature, grammar, and American literature. The classes were fortunate to have Kirk Folio speak on subjects such as Transcendentalism and to have an ample supply of films, records, and paperback books to help the students. Sophomore, Junior, and Senior English teachers reviewed grammar in order to help the classes in their creative writings on books, essays, research themes, and satirical work. By studying authors like Shakespeare, Thoreau, Poe, George Eliot and Carl Sandburg and developing their own imaginations, the students received a thorough prepa- ration for college and later life. 148 With the help of Mrs. Barnes the accelerated English class divides into groups of five to discuss 17th century literature.

The main objective of the Science Department, headed by Mr. Davie, was to instruct students in the nature of the physical world. The biology students discussed the structure of plants and animals around them. On the other hand, studying chemistry taught students to understand the mys- teries of our universe. Upon the completion of these varied classes, each student gained a solid foundation in the fore- most branches of science. Bill Allman J. O.

Driving Skills Learned in Class and on Road The drivers' education course at Gadsden High School had completed its second year. Beginning drivers, after having taken this course, easily passed their driving tests. Students who had been driving quite a while were reviewed with safe driving tips and learned how to avoid accidents. Besides practice on the road, the driving students received classroom instruction through the use of charts and pam- phlets. Drivers' Education was one of the most valuable courses at Gadsden High School. 161 Girls Learn Profession and Prepare for Future Could you imagine a housewife unable to cook, sew, or manage her home?

Peggy Gilbert Thelma Hutchins Anne R. Williams Gene Barnes DeLeath Rives Practice Makes Perfect for Band and Choral Choral classes were a major part of Gadsden High life. The Triads and Velvetones, singing groups for which one had to audition, were under the leadership of Mr. Gene Barnes. The Triads and Velvetones presented assemblies at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other special occasions. Two other choral classes gave students basic training for singing and performing. Mr. Rives, head of the band department, instructed the new members in marching and playing instruments and helped to perfect the ability of the older members.

Other than basic exercises, they participated in such sports as gymnastics, softball, baseball, track, football, and basketball. Each boy received the instruction to improve his own physical ability. With the hard work of Gadsden High School's Physical Education Department, the boys were able to develop strong bodies and minds. 169 Lunchroom Is Source of Well-Balanced Meals A time of the day that every Gadsden High student looked forward to was his lunch class. It was a time to enjoy eating, getting together and doing last minute studying. Mrs. Watson, the lunchroom supervisor for many years, faithfully managed the daily menus and preparation of food. The faculty and students appreciated the difficult work and planning involved in the lunchroom program. These lunchroom ladies are busy every day doing many jobs such as preparing and serving nutritious, well balanced meals. Kate M. Watson Ilona B.

This spirit was seen again by the all time high total—S25,000—reached in the magazine drive. Look ahead. Look behind.

A Gadsden Tiger is more than a fine athlete, more than a superior student, more than a strutting drum major. A Gadsden Tiger is involved involved in all phases of school, church, and community life. Athletics, magazine sales, elections. Hi- Y and Tri-Hi-Y, Band, dramatics. Youth Legislature, even the Black Book; all are integral parts of the profile of a Gadsden Tiger. In the 969 CRUCIBLE we have tried to portray each aspect of this profile, because it is a joyous thing to be a Gadsden Tiger! THE 1969 CRUCIBLE STAFF 268
