Now that we have laid our founda- tion, We have decided it is time to build, We have proven our- selves in the past, and we will continue to do so in the years to come, HOMECOMING 1977 | MAIDS, Seated: Anna Lee, Gina Stafford, Julie McGlathery, Delcma Davis.

M f Homecoming excitement reached its peak as doors were decorated, floats were completed, and the homecom- ing court appeared, but true excitement came as our first homecoming queen was selected, crowned and kissed. r,i tmv —” FRESHMAN BEAUTIES AND ESCORTS -______, The freshman Beauties for 1978 were, above: Miss Julie McGiathery escorted by Mr. Joel Samuels.

This year's Homecoming sparked the beginning of a long awaited tradition for Litchfield and of course the traditional ques- tion, “I wonder who will be next year’s Home- coming Queen?” NA TIONAL HONOR SOCIETY New Members Tapped New members confirmed their acceptance as they signed the traditional scroll that listed their names as a part of Litchfield’s National Honor Society. After the tapping ceremony and sign- ing up new members the students and parents were guests at a reception held in Litchfield’s library. National Honor Society Pictured With New Members Marisa Stanley got the 1977 Christmas Ball under way with a warm welcome to “Luv and Haight” who provided the music for our dance while Lori Perry sang Merry Christmas Darling” to put us in a festive mood. CHRISTMAS SPIRIT 1977 Passing water balloons and rolling toilet paper takes a lot of guts to risk getting soaked clothes or skinned noses, but it is better than begging for mercy from the cold-hearted Twirp Court jury. Counting off the paces marks the beginning of an endless water battle between students as well as Twirp Court members seeking revenge against teachers during the activities. FOOTBALL AWARDS BANQUET Coach Clay passes out trophies and plaques to seniors and out- standing players for the 1977 sea- son. Principal George Nancarrow attended the banquet and spoke on the importance of high school sports.

LITCHFIELD’S FIRST ANNUAL CORONATION BALL Marisa Stanley and Rodney Tucker have complete control over the activities during the coronation ball while introducing “Para- dise” as the musical entertainment for the evening also featuring Lori Perry singing “Always and Forever. ” . Lisa Williamson and Clifton Simpson reigned as the first queen and king ever in the his- tory of Litchfield High School at our coronation ball. Above: Clif- ton demonstrates that choosing his queen was as simple as one, two, three. 72 The royal couple took the excitement in stride as they made their way to the dance floor where they led off the sec- ond half of the fun filled evening and danced with the rest of the crowd and coronation court before they assumed their reign as king and queen.

Cynthia Parker gave the invocation and set the pace for the remainder of the grad- uation program which included the salutatory address given by Keith Bree- den and the valedictory address given by Chip Rowan who both did an excellent job expressing their views on the past, the future, and the marks Litchfield had left on both. The long awaited moment arrived and passed quickly as diplomas were awarded and special awards were pre- sented to students who rep- resented leadership and responsibility to the students of Litchfield High School.

Jan Savage and Anthony Sturdivant Memories lit the corners of our minds as Lori Perry reminded us of pleasant times as she sang “The Way We Were’’ followed by the entire Senior Class sing- ing Litchfield’s Alma Mater written espe- cially for the charter class by Valedicto- rian Chip Rowan and Leigh Ann Ford. FIRST STEP Now tomorrow is here And not quite as desperate As it seemed to be. . . back when we heard “There’s a big world out there. ” And it was waiting on us With wide opened arms And few smiling faces. And there is a feeling Of accomplishment, As we wind down Out of adolescence into maturity. Some falter. . . And fall into silly grins, While others, with their own tears Wash the faces of friends. But we file on and on. In cap and gown we take the paper That shouts in its significance What we may verbalize in our magnificence As our last And echoing Hurray. . . And good-bye comes in choked terms And throats that are cleared and eyes rubbed. But the end we thought was here Is now seen to be a beginning As we turn our glance upward And take our first step We can proudly call Our very own.

Band. This season’s 6-4 record captured a long- awaited victory over Litchfield’s 7 rival, the Glencoe Yellow Jackets, and the dream of being in the State 3A Playoffs became a real- Never let it be said that the Eagles don’t have a prayer — they start every game on their knees and it serves them well with perfect kick-offs and equally coordinated tackles. Litchfield Collects First Varsity Win Over Center | Times were tough I for the Eagles during I the Centre game but | Clifton Simpson (33) ; ends a helping hand | fo quarterback I Lorinza Thomas (11) | while the remainder of | f ?e Eagle flock I appears to be ripping 1 aparf one of their I opponents. It was a battle between rivals as the Litchfield Eagles took on the Glencoe Yellow Jackets and even though some of the game was rough, the Eagles got tough and came out on top. Litchfield’s Anticipated But Unexpected Victory Stuns Glencoe 102 Touchdowns had come easily for the Eagles and Frank Wester (80) helped chalk up all the extra points needed to give Litchfield a nice round score that killed Glencoe’s ego and their chance for the State Playoffs. With one second on the clock the scoreboard indicates that the night belongs to Litchfield as Glencoe accepts defeat from the Eagles 28-18. This season went well for the Eagles even though there were some injuries. None of them were serious enough to keep this team of fighters off their toes for long. In the end anyone who went to a football game can tell you the Eagles always get their man no matter what.

The Eagles stood up against a tough basketball schedule this year and made the best of it as they collected many victo- ries and also learned valuable lessons from previous mistakes. That eliminated possibilities for unwanted defeats. ■ A good tip off always makes a v good game and in this case it |Sg means a dangerous encounter with the Yellow Jackets as the Eagles are mobbed at the net and placed in a difficult position, but you can’t keep a good man down as Donald Wooley (14) takes to yy: the air to score against Glencoe and add two points for Litchfield, f When the Eagles make a trip to the goal to strike up some points they will do anything possible to score as Lewis Glass (41) and Kenneth McCants (43) show what it takes to sink some balls against their opponents.

The Junior Eagles had a very good year as their record was almost flawless with nineteen wins out of twenty games and they also picked up some good pointers as they prepare themselves for varsity competition. Bo Evans (32) gives his best shot for the Eagles in a battle against Glencoe and steps aside to watch the results which look favor- able, but Michael Bishop (50) can’t leave the Eagles’ goal without trying his skill at grabbing some points for Litchfield.

Since Litchfield is now a full scale high school, baseball has been added to the athletic department and this year’s team was cheered on by fellow students as well as faculty members who wished them well as they began the season on the right foot and defeated Southside in their first game, 9-8. The coach is always right and David Ferguson (4) appears to be taking some last minute advice from Coach Muskett before step- ping up to bat and afterwards it pays off as Johnny Thomas runs home to score for the Eagles in a battle against Glencoe during the area playoffs. It17 Practice makes perfect and the Eagles always strive for perfection by making good use of every spare minute as shown here.

WHTney Tlson LITCHFIELD HIGH SCHOOL EAGLE BAND These past years have meant changes in our school and our band. Last year the first high school football schedule went into force and the L.H.S. Band was there to perform a full season of high school level halftime shows. The band members worked very hard and gave an excellent accounting of themselves as well as the color guard members who added color and flair to the musical presenta- tions. The highlight of the year was a four day trip to Florida where the band performed at the famous Walt Disney World. Also, in their first year of high school level competition, the Litchfield High School Band was awarded seven “Superior” ratings and eight “Excellent ratings. The band has always represented Litchfield and Gadsden in an outstanding manner and has brought much credit to our school. 125 The Eagle Band gave many fine performances this year and they were all under the direction of Drum Major Terri Bohannon. Terri has been directing the band on field for the past two years and has done an excellent job. No one could lead the band with more spirit and pride, Terri will certainly be hard to replace and the band will not seem the same without her.

M2 zom JfzE Sditoz TO THE STUDENTS OF LITCHFIELD As Editor of the Talon Yearbook I have been a part of Litch- field’s annual staff since 1976 when our first yearbook was pub- lished. The work it takes to publish Talon is almost impossible to describe. I have written and drawn every page of this yearbook myself over the summer working on it as much as nine hours a day non-stop. The reason I had no help is because the rest of the staff sold themselves to death to finance the cost of publishing which was approximately seven and a half thousand dollars. A yearbook this size with countless pages of special effects is expensive and filled with detailed, time consuming work. To insure an early fall delivery for Talon ’79, please support the year- book staff whole-heartedly, your support does not end with your subscription. Susan Dodson SPECIAL THANKS I would like to thank the following people for making my job easier by naming students as they were pictured in various organizations and activities, and also giving information about special awards and club activities.
