A treat of a teacher whose unfailing dedication to school and student is an inspiration for all. What more can one say? Devoting 50 years of her life to the teaching profession says it all. I'm grateful I had the opportunity to be a colleague and a friend. James Flesser Mrs. Tina H. Childs With love and appreciation the 1987 Ram’s Horn Staff dedicates this yearbook to Mrs. Tina Childs. It is impossible to estimate the value of her many years of service to others. She has exemplified Ramsay spirit, pride, and honor, and encouraged others to continue in the Ramsay tradition. Her concern has been expressed in advice and help to students and faculty members. The rewards of retirement have been earned by her years of service, but this does not mean she will not be missed. The Ram’s Horn Staff 1987 I feel very honored that I had the privilege to be Mrs. Childs’ last principal, as she concludes 50 years in public education. She is a legend at Ramsay and will never be replaced. It would not be possible to list all her contributions that helped make Ramsay a better school, or the number of young adults she helped become better citizens. I wish her well as she begins her retirement, and I hope she will continue to visit and be a consultant for her school. For although Mrs. Childs is retiring, she will always be a Ramsay staff member. She will have a life membership pass to all future Ramsay functions. Mr. Ralph B. Sheetz Principal, 1984- Teacher, counselor, advisor, and administrator, which and how many superlatives do you use to measure the positive influence she has exerted on the lives of the thousands of students who have benefitted from their association with her? A good friend, confidante, and colleague, tested and proven under fire — a person constantly striving for excellence and with little patience or sympathy with mediocrity. I guess she can best be understood by the following message; “If it’s worth doing, let’s do it — then let's do it better.” A special honor for a special person who has made us all proud of our association with her and Ramsay Alternative High School. Hurry, Tina —Jim and I are waiting! For many years Ms. Tina Hyman Childs has held a place of esteem and affection in the hearts of Ramsay students. She is recognized as a woman of character, strong principles, conscientious, and devoted to her chosen profession. Because of her wisdom and good will, numbers of students have turned to her for advice, assistance, and guidance. She will be missed but her memory will linger long. I wish for you many happy days ahead as you begin your retirement. May God be your constant companion and provide for you that which you so richly deserve. Dr. Larry J. Contri Principal, 1981-1984 George P. Thomas Principal, 1968-1981 32 • DEDICATION STUDENT LIFE 33 RAMSAY’S “PRESENT TENSE” 34 • STUDENT LIFE WINS AT TRUMBAUER!

Our freshman class of 213 represents 62 elementary schools throughout Greater Birmingham. Our Academic Bowl Team is undefeated, a second consecutive State Volleyball Championship was won. our Drama Team competed in Richmond, Virginia at the Southeast Theatre Competition, our rifle team won a division championship, and all those juniors who took the graduate exam passed it on their first attempt. Our Cheerleaders. Band, and Color Guard also received special recognition; and our Basketball Team was ranked in the state's top ten and won the runner up trophy at the Tournament of Champions in Mobile. I am very proud to be a pan of the Ramsay tradition. We arc truly one of the finest examples on an Open Community in our city. Ramsay provides the opportunity for intelligent students from throughout the city to meet, work together, and form lasting friendships. I am indebted for the contributions from the class of 1987. These three years have been both profitable and enjoyable. I trust that you will use the knowledge and skills obtained at Ramsay to make our society both better and safer. Good luck always, and remember your Alma Mater. To the underclassmen, there is still much to be done.

Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Long we’ll love thee, Ramsay High School And be true to thee. THE RAMSAY PEP SONG Oh when those Ramsay Rams all fall in line, We're going to win that game another time: And for the dear old school we love so well, We’re going to yell and yell and yell and yell.

PROM CLASS OF’87 173 This page is donated by Mrs. Sellers. “Thanks to a fantastic student body, faculty, and yearbook staff.” 174 •autographs FROM THE EDITOR .. . I don't think anyone realizes how much hard work goes into creating a yearbook unless you've actually done it. This yearbook was absolutely no exception, but I really shouldn't complain, it could have been a disaster. When this year began, we had only three yearbook members who had experience: Carol McChcsney, and April Sims (who unfortunately could not take yearbook second semester), and me. I didn't know what we were going to do. but these unexperienced staff members soon showed me how wrong I was to be worried. From the first day to the last they continually surprised me with how well they could create a yearbook, as well as, draw quad-paks. crop pictures, sell yearbooks, sell ads, organize the books, do slide shows, and hundreds of other things. 1 am truly proud to have been able to work with all of you. I could not finish this book without taking a few of these outstanding people personally. Diana — Thanks for all of your hard work, help, and staying after school when you had to.
