The new Tennessee-Missouri Mississippi River Bridge provided a link between East and West. 2 Caruthersville as well as CHS was honored to have Governor Bond attend the Bridge Dedication Banquet. INTO CENTUR Y III Mr. Hayes was a big asset to the banquet held at CHS. 3 SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY In 1965 news came that Caruthersville would have a bridge. After eleven long years we dedicated the bridge, December first, 1976. The bridge opened new horizons for everyone as we and our country ventured into the third century. Along with a new bridge our community and school developed many improvements. In the town the Colonial Federal Building was completed while a community center was built and a Wal-Mart prepared to move in. The Caruthersville school system made many changes too. Westside school added a new wing of classrooms and an auditorium. The High School converted the Old Gym into home economics and business rooms, a study hall and a library. 4 PROGRESS TOGETHER CHS library provides a meeting place for many community organizations The Bridge - A dream come true. Community Center reflects a new spirit of unity in Caruthersville. Within the school, we were changing. New became old and old became new, both a part of CHS. Seniors left each year with their dreams, and freshmen entered perhaps the best part of their lives. Teachers and curriculum also changed, and students involved themselves in new courses. The changes at CHS and the changes in our community mirrored each other, and the old became memories that the new will always look back on. 5 BRIDGE Like a gallant steed with glistening mane Running on the banks of time, Leaping forth to jump the strand Fitting accent to the rhyme. Run on, enjoy the other worlds. Be bounded only by your dreams, And freedom be your only song. Hear no other floating themes. And when someday Fm finished here, Fll call you out of the fury, And you, the bridge that unites us Can bear me into my next century. And father of waters, guardian of time, When my life to you I’m confessing, Like some child of yours, come of age, Let me ride on with your blessing.

Board President, Mrs. Jane Betz described the school board to teachers at the beginning of the school year. Mrs. Betz said board members included a pediatrician, (Dr. Alan Gubin), a funeral director, (Mr. James Dean), and three farmers, (Mr. Robert O. Pierce, Mr. Julian Boyd, and Mr. James Bruton). So,” Mrs. Betz said, We catch you coming and going, and we feed you in between. Mrs. Betz added that perhaps her main contribution to the school district was her seven children. The board spent a busy year involved in a range of activities, including a law suit, discussion of a federal breakfast program, installation of an alarm system, and participation on North Central Evaluation committees. Members met regularly on the second Wednesday of each month to conduct the general business of the school district. The board approved curriculum revisions, a new budget, issued contracts, and considered improvements for various school buildings.

Students are frequently amazed to see teachers outside school - in the grocery store, on the tennis court, at the pool - acting human.” As students, we tend to forget that teachers have any real existence away from the classroom and the blackboard. Their whole purpose in life seems to lie in assigning homework, grading tests, and insisting on complete sentences. To learn more about the unknown human” side of our teachers, we asked them, What is your favorite subject outside of school? We then followed them home to find out. And this is what we discovered! Miss Diane Sayre said. Relaxing is my favorite subject. To relax, i sometimes choose to play cards, watch TV, play the piano, or visit friends. But most of all my favorite subject outside of school is being myself. It's nice to be able to go home and be your own person. Mrs. Edna Chaffin said, My favorite subject is reading.' ’ Mr. Verlon Till said. My home: everyone needs something. someone, or someplace to help him escape from the daily routine. Mr. Roger Elliott said. My favorite subject is listening to music, because it's very relaxing, especially after school -after a 'hard day in the pits!' 25 Mr. Darryl Roberts said, My favorite would be gardening, but 1 also enjoy fishing. ■J' Mrs. Carrie Ann Hippier said, My home and family would be 1, but I am an avid reader when I can find the time. I especially like science fiction. Mrs. MaryLou Wright said, I enjoy reading. Reading is the key to the uni- verse . Mrs. Pauline Masters said, My favor ite subject would be bowling or ten ms. Miss Sandra Barnes said, My favorite subject outside school is rest and relaxation. I have no particular hobby, so I often use my time to be alone, to sit and to think or just to sit. My most fun times, however are spent doing things with or for my friends. Mr. J. Y. Miller said. My favorite subject outside school is my family. Mrs. Maggie Shelby said, My favorite subject is community service and working in the church. Mrs. Natalie Tate said, My favorite subject outside school is reading a good book, under a tree, contemplating the universe.' I 4.4 HU Mr. Charles Evans said, My favorite subject is carpentry, but I have nothing to work on in town. He added that teaching is a sort of hobby because he spends many hours preparing his lectures. Miss Martha Johnson said, My favorite subjects outside school are sports and crafts. i I Mr. J. T. Ross said, Collecting Indian relics and amateur archaeology are my favorite subjects. I enjoy being 'out of doors.' This helps me to appreciate the 'Life we have today and also the contributions that the American Indians have given to us to help make our country as great as it is. f AX Miss Tamsen Whistler said, I like to read very much, and I like to talk with my friends, either in person or on the phone, and I love to eat. I like to take walks, swim, and I enjoy cooking. I also like to travel. 27 Miss Nikki Lu Buchanan said, My favorite subject outside school is jogging. I also enjoy eating, reading, and cooking. Mr. Neely Mitchell said, My favorite subject is the great outdoors: holding communion with nature enables one to appreciate the simple, natural beauty of life and all things in it. Mrs. Janice Pinion said, Naturally family -my husband, four daughters, three sons-in-law, two grandchildren (two more on the way) - is my favorite subject. But for hobbies, playing the organ at church, doing needle point, raising flowers, and playing bridge - I enjoy them all! Mr. Gerald Corbin said, My favorite subjects outside school arc my grandchildren and my garden.” Mrs. Barbara Combs said, ”My favorite subject outside school is sewing and cooking.” She has help here boiling Easter eggs from her daughter, Eydie, and her friend, Jackie Boing. Mr. Russell Crawford said, My favorite subject outside school is oil paint- I in8-” Mr. James Wilson said, ”Although 1 have several favorite subjects, if I have to say one it would be 'Music.' Not only do I truly enjoy all types of music but I like to know the background of the artists and their thoughts. It is also a pleasure hearing the expressions of others about certain selections and artists. ” Mrs. Marlene Rohde said, I don't have one favorite, but many. I especially like doing needlework and sewing. I've tried and enjoy several different crafts and one of my newest interests is cake decorating.” 29 Mrs. Sandra Vaught said, My favorite subject would be football. I enjoy football at all levels, professional, college, and high school. Mr. Hugh James said, My favorite subject outside school is family outdoor recreation.

I acquired this interest two years ago while studying in Arizona. I've been studying and practicing photography since then. Mr. Harold Ford said, My favorite hobby is reading novels of all kinds. Mysteries are my favorite. Teaching band is also a hobby as well as a job. Maybe 1 like teaching band because that is a mystery, too. Outside school, I like to spend time with my family on my family farm. itf . ft w a Mrs. Dorthy Clarke said, My favorite subjects outside school are watercolor painting and golf. Mr. Fred Boyd said, My favorite subject outside school is watching football in the fall and making a garden in the spring. Mr. John Gale said. Mine is farming. First hand information is always good to know in order to verify practices that you teach. It is also a good way to balance the mental fatigue with a good amount of physical fatigue. Mr. Harv Welch said, These pertain to school but 1) I like any sport (all sports), 2) Also like to read, 3) Attend professional clinics. 31 It's time to leave. . . Our beginning is coming to a close and so we look toward tomorrow. . . But let's look at yesterday and today. We arrived here alone and began our adventure together slowly, carefully, not sure of what was expected or sure of what we wanted. But during our time we gave up our loneliness and insecurities. We gained new friends, confidence in ourselves and a special feeling which cannot be defined by words. . . We leave so much stronger for we have shared deeply. I look at all of you and smile. . . for you are my friends. From Teat; and Pebbles in Mv Pockets by George Betts. Copyright 1976. Reprinted with permission of Celestial Arts, 231 Adrian Rd..

For the first time, the Class of '77 had the privilege of from section seats at assembly and the honor of departing before lower classmembers. Only seniors were eligible for Gold Cards, allowing them to leave CHS during their study hall periods. Each senior was allowed to take one college day, if necessary, and time for senior pictures. All seniors were dismissed from school two days before graduation. Along with the firsts, came the lasts - both sadness and relief. For the last time, seniors registered in August at CHS. For the last time, seniors served detention and tried to fabricate excuses for unexcusable absences. For the last time, seniors sat in CHS classrooms and clowned in the halls. Also for the last - and the third straight - time, the Class of 'll won the banner competition at Homecoming. The excitement of firsts and the solemnity of lasts came together for the seniors in baccalaureate services and graduation ceremonies. Wearing the red cap and gown was an exciting first, but the finality it symbolized was a little frightening. For the last time, seniors left CHS as students; for the first time, they faced the world as adults. 44 SENIORS • SENIORS Tina Bagget, Donna Kimbrell, and Debbie Parkinson Orlando Owens ' 1 Alison Selby Wade Tipton and Christy Jones Len Townsend Sharon Mims Steve Johnson Phyllis Fields Gaty Riggs Putt Cunningham Julie Chaffin Kevin Meek Cynthia Dorroh Joan Duda The 1976-1977 Junior Class led an achieving, productive year. Juniors ran the concession stand for all games: football, volleyball, and basketball. Their diligence paid off, as they raised more money than any other Junior class in CHS history. During Homecoming, the Juniors worked hard decorating for Tiger Fire Prevention Week. Again, hard work paid, when the class won floor decorations, fighting fire from the Chaffee Red Devils. Juniors also got involved in community projects, selling bridge tee-shirts with the Chamber of Commerce. The bright red shins commemorated the opening of the Tennessee-Missouri Mississippi River Bridge, December first. Finally, Juniors planned for one of the most beautiful proms ever. The band, Main Squeeze and the elaborate decorations created a memorable evening for many Juniors and Seniors. The Juniors decided to donate some of the money remaining from the Prom to CHS, while the rest was to be used for a Senior Banquet and party. • JUNIORS • JUNIORS • A HARD WORKING CLASS REPORTER: TREASURER: SECRETARY: Karen Hopper Penny Flippo Claire McKaskle JUNIORS • JUNIORS 59 60 Acuff, Laura Alston, Teresa Alston, Victor Amerine, Cindy Ballentine, Karen Banks, Rosetta Bell, Melinda Bond, Tim Brandon, Rick Brooks, Doug Brown, Brenda Brown, John Brown, Sandy Bryant, Kelly Cagle, Jimmy Cagle, Troy Camp, Penny Carter, Bobby Carter, Katie Carter, Mack Carter, Maxine Carter, Tina Cecil, Charlie Chunn, Linda Churchill, Micky Corman, Mike Covington, Clemmie Covington, Peggy Craig, David Cummings, Roger • JUNIORS • JUNIORS • Currie, Caleb Currie, David Dany, Andrew Dotson, Steve Dowdle, Terri Estes, Morgan Fike, John Fox, Gaye Garner, Connie Gipson, Janet Grady, Arlene Graves, Cheryl Gray, Gladys Green, Jo Ann Grooms, Darryl Gubin, Barry Gunnells, Jimmy Hall, J.

Student Council was very active this year in many aspects. From Homecoming to Sadie Hawkins Day they worked to help make our school more enjoyable. Homecoming this year was different from any other Homecoming. This was the first year we had a disc-jockey instead of a band, which turned out to be a success. Along with Homecoming, Student Council had many other activities. The first was a welcome back dance with a disc-jockey, which turned out to be the best attended dance this year. Soon Student Council was busy with other projects, such as the annual chili supper, painting the lounge, collecting for Muscular Dystrophy, and raking leaves. Another project Student Council sponsored was Sadie Hawkins Day when Student Council sold hot dogs and held events such as sack races and three legged races. The event was a huge success. We are very proud of our Student Council and hope that we can always have a Student Council as involved as the 76-77 group. 84 for School Betterment Student Council President, Len Townsend, cooks hotdogs for students and faculty on Sadie Hawkins Day.

Our layout was due yesterday!” Miss Whistler, may I go to the darkroom? Are we going to have to work on Saturday? A typical Cotton Blossom day. Questions arose in the darkroom too. Why is the stopbath purple? Where is the top to the developing tank? And of course Don't open the door! In the course of the year the staff learned to lay out yearbook pages, develop negatives, and prints. The staff sponsored the traditional Cotton Blossom dance, raising money with a volleyball game. Even though they goofed off, the staff accomplished a lot. Copy editor Wade Tipton checks files. Hard at work for a change.

They dealt with layout, dummy sheets, and copy-editing symbols. They learned about different kinds of news stories, interviewing people they didn't know, and they tried hard to cover events as they happened. The most important thing they had to learn was meeting deadlines. Some stories got lost and heads were misplaced, but on the whole the staff was proud of the effort which went into the paper and the results they achieved. 95 PHOTO CLUB TOURS STUDIO Photography Club had a year of mixed success. Several members worked hard on their own, but as a group, the club never quite got it together. Members had planned to display mounted photos in the library and to conduct a photography contest, but neither plan worked out. The club did visit Mike Dale’s studio for a tour and a discussion of color developing process. Members saw filmstrips and short presentations at meetings concerning picture composition, use of light, and basic uses of different types of cameras. David Malin, John Mark Fowlkes and Barry Gubin aided the Cotton Blossom staff greatly, taking pictures at assemblies, dances, and graduation. Barry Gubin looks as if he’s in a hurry to leave, but David Pankey plans to stay.

Our cheerleaders spent much of their out of school time preparing for games. They practiced during the hot summer months - even before the football players started practicing. Every week they decorated the trophy cases for the football players. Before the Hayti game they led the traditional snake dance down Ward Avenue and the bonfire at Southside. ill Campus Chorus Performs for School and Public Campus Chorus performed twice during the year. At Christmas, Campus Chorus sang several traditional songs. During the Spring Concert, the chorus sang a collection of Sentimental Journey in the Forties. Campus Chorus had 24 members.

Students entered the school and proceeded through the line in the hall to get their pictures taken. Waiting in line was the most uncomfortable part of the day. Students then went to the study hall where they filled out schedule cards, had them typed and checked, and paid their fees. FHA provided tours and refreshments for the Freshmen and also to the new students attending CHS. Miss lohnson gives someone the evil eye. F.H.A. provides Freshmen with a tour of good ole CHS.

Many rested students and former students picked up their yearbooks and then gathered in groups on the bleachers and floor to get them signed. Stations were set up in four areas so that students were able to pick up their books quickly and easily. Mr. Parkinson was available to check yearbook receipts and direct students to proper stations. Many students attended and enjoyed the gathering. Rickey Ledbeiier thinks of something nice to say. Cynthia Dorroh is proud to hand out the new yearbooks.

These seniors seemed excited about the upcoming ''Caruthersville-Hayti game. This year, together with our traditional snake dance and bonfire, the Thespian society sponsored pep skits at noon on Fridays. The skits were an effective move toward raising school spirit and a boost for the Tiger morale. After the skits, the cheerleaders led students in cheers until 12:45. A tug-of-war between the Tigers and Indians, a scene from the Doniphan Donz, a fight between a bulldog and a Tiger, and many more situations ended in victories for the Tigers.

Although Spirit Week is held during football season, it serves to draw classes together behind all Tiger teams throughout the year. Spirit Week is an important reminder to CHS students of the need for whole-hearted support for school activities and the necessity of class unity. Spirit Week ends with Homecoming, the most important day of all. Many graduates return to CHS at Homecoming along with former teachers and others who have had some connection with the school. The town also takes great interest in Homecoming activities, and this interest reflects the closeness with which the school and the community work together, and their importance to each other. Spirit Week competition is always exciting. Each class tries hard to keep its theme a secret and to keep members of other classes off the floor. This year, freshmen decorated the third floor, called appropriately, Tiger Heaven. Balloon and cotton clouds floated from the ceiling and banners urged the Tigers to victory. On the second floor, the sophomores worked hard depicting Tiger Olympics, while on the first floor, the juniors organized Tiger Fire Prevention Week. The juniors won the floor decoration contest, with fire hats for team members, signs, and slogans. The seniors decorated the floor by the gym, turning it into a discotheque and urging CHS to dance to a Tiger victory. In poster competition, sophomores won, while the seniors won the banner. At the Homecoming assembly. after the candidates were introduced, CHS classes tried to see who had the most spirit. Sophomores won again, but the whole school cheered for the Tigers. During the game, Tiger spirit remained high, but the Red Devils managed to overcome the CHS team, winning 18-12. The Tigers recovered, however, and everyone enjoyed the Homecoming Dance. The excitement of Spirit Week ended with Homecoming, but the week left CHS classes a little more together and behind their teams. A WEEK OF SPIRITED COMPETITION Homecoming candidates, Debbie Parkinson, Christy Jones, Mary McCullough, Lisa Waldron, and Cynthia Dorroh are seated on a float made by Art Club.

The week's activities culminated in a Friday morning assembly and a Friday night dance. During the assembly, talented CHS black students produced a superior play, written by CHS students. The plot concerns a poor young black man at a talent contest. He competes with a singing group, an instrumental group, and several individual talents, for a music scholarship. One of the other contestants is a well-to-do young black man, who wins the scholarship, although the poor young man is more deserving. After the talent competition, the wealthy young man gets lost in the ghetto and is threatened by a gang. He is rescued by the poor young man from whom he has just won the scholarship. The poor young man takes him home to call his parents. The well-to-do young man receives a chilly reception in the poor family's home, until the poor young man reminds his parent of what they have taught him about treating everybody equally. In the end both families agree that brotherhood is more important than money or social position. The final event in Black History Week occurred Friday evening. Many CHS students and community members attended a very successful dance sponsored by Concerned Parents. 130 A THLETES HONORED Booster Club members prepare food.

The assembly was a great success when the students as well as the judges watched the beautiful candidates model. The stage band provided entertainment while the models changed outfits. The dance that night was even a greater success. Everyone enjoyed dancing to the music of Stepping Out.

Two Stagecraft classes also worked on the set during their class periods. Each crew worked hard to get their part done. Everyone who helped with the play put in a lot of their time, but it was well worth it. The play concerns a young girl, Ginger, who tries out for the football team in the face of general opposition. Her sisters oppose even such exercise as P.E. class. Townspeople, as well as high school students, are upset when Ginger makes the team. In the end. Ginger decides to resign from the team and devote herself to other interests, but not until she has the support of her parents and her boyfriend. The Carols are fascinated with Ginger's picture in Life magazine. Ginger (JoAnn Upchurch) is disgusted! SADIE HA WKINS DA Y: Teachers as well as students enjoyed Sadie Hawkins Day festivities.

Next came the traditional blood and guts game against Hayti. The Tigers stomped the Indians 28-0. South Pern was the next victim, offering many second-string Tigers a chance to play. The Tigers won 42-0. East Prairie played the Tigers their toughest game yet, but the superior team, with the slogan I Believe!” pulled through, winning 35-23. The Tigers dropped their first game of the season at Scott City, losing a heart-breaker to the Rams 12-13. A second quarter injury to starting quarterback Wendell McGill brought the Jr. Varsity quarterback, Brad Simmons, into the spotlight. The score was 6-13 with a minute and 10 seconds left in the game when Simmons, a sophomore who engineered both Tiger scoring drives, hit Kevin Meek with a scoring play that covered 60 yards. The Tigers came up a yard short on the conversion try, leaving the Rams the victors by one point. The Tigers were down the next week when they met the Sikeston Bulldogs and lost 35-5. The JV Tigers traveled to Sikeston the next Monday night to take revenge against the JV Bulldogs in an exciting game. The Bulldogs scored and were ahead 14-8 with 39 seconds of playing time left. It seemed the only chance was to run back the kick-off for a touchdown, but they didn't. The first play was a pass to Henry Warren, good for about 30 yards. A second pass was incomplete but stopped the clock with 13 seconds left. Quarterback Simmons handed off to Warren and he swept around the defenders for a 34 yard touchdown with one second on the clock and the game tied at 14-14. Arthur Taylor tried a place kick for the extra point that would win the game. It was good! The Tigers won 15-14! The Varsity Tigers traveled to Portageville to smash the Bulldogs 13-0 in a tough game. The Malden Green Wave came to Hopke Field to play the Tigers in a conference game. Henry Warren raced for four touchdowns to lead the Tigers past Malden 41-12. The Tigers met their match in a tough Homecomig game against Chaffee. The Tigers rallied with the Red Devils but lost 18-12. The Tigers played their last game of the season in the snow at Kennett. The Tigers whipped the Indians 34-12. The 1976 Tigers had four outstanding accomplishments. 1. Set new CHS record of most points scored, single season (242). 2. Set new CHS record of most points scored, two consecutive seasons (457). 3. Set new CHS record of most wins, two consecutive seasons (15). 4. Tied CHS record of two straight seasons without being shut out. Brad Simmons, 12, holds the ball for Trey Hayden.

Fall 1976 was the first time for volleyball at CHS. The A-Team had a credible season, with four wins and four losses. The first two games were home games, and happy ones for CHS. The volleyball Tigers beat Malden and Delta C-7. The next, however, was not so pleasant. The team played Holcomb, and as one member put it, We got smeared.” Against South Pemiscot, at home, CHS redeemed herself and won. Again at home, against Lilbourn, CHS played three tough games. The scores were close throughout, but the Tigers were victorious. The next two games were away and were disappointments to the team. Bemie and Gideon both beat the Tigers; in fact, at Bernie, we got smeared” again. The final game was a second niatch with Holcomb. CHS lost again, but the Tiger team played a much better, closer game. Individual players developed skills during the season. Elaine Prather, Debra Jones, and Maxine Carter all enjoyed spiking, to the benefit of CHS. Jo Ann Turner also distinguished herself against Lilbourn, by serving the first eleven points in one game. 168 COMES TO C.H.S. B-Team volleyball was a learning experience in its first year at CHS. The B-Team won three games, joining the A-Team in beating Delta C-7, South Pemiscot, and Lilbourn. In losses the B-Team joined the A-Team in falling to Holcomb twice, as well as to Bernie and Gideon. Malden also beat the B-Team Tigers, leaving the B-Team season record a rather disappointing 3-5. All the B-Team members, however, enjoyed the games and improved during the season, and look forward to better years and better records.

UPS AND DO WNS VARSITY BASKETBALL: The 1976-1977 CHS Varsity Basketball team began the season with a 73-69 victory over the Clarkton Reindeer with few mistakes. The next game was in the South Pemiscot Tournament. The Tigers, not seeded in the eight team tourney, advanced to the finals before losing to the Senath-Hornersville Lions 64-61 in a hard fought game. In the East Prairie Invitational tournament the Tigers once again had to settle for the second place trophy. Caruthersville had been seeded first, and this was a big disappointment. The Tigers sure gave the fans a thrill when they topped the Malden Green Wave in the final seconds. Sam Young hit a short jump shot with five seconds left to edge the visitors 77-76. After that close game the A-team just couldn’t get together again, losing the next three games. CHS pulled herself up and raced past South Pemiscot in an easy victory 84-51. Don Tyes was the high point man, ripping the net for 31 points, the most points scored in one game of Don’s career. The Tigers went on to play another tough game against Hayti. C'Ville made a last ditch attempt to pull the game out but came up short and how to bow 66-68. By whipping Kennett 58-49, and East Prairie 56-50, the Caruthersville Varsity Tigers ended their regular season with 10 wins and two second place trophies.

The Eagles scored just 4 points in the first quarter. It was 36-15 at the half and the game was never in doubt. The Junior Varsity Tigers finished the season with 20 wins and 2 losses, a new county record. They were also the Conference Champions with a perfect record of 5-0. Dennis Dinwoodie 25 and Benny Ross 41 fight for a rebound. Ricky Harris 45 out-jumps Poplar Bluff center. A SEASON TO REMEMBER Paul Isom, an outstanding player for the ''B''-Tigers, led the team in scoring and was an excellent rebounder. Paul was named all conference and was instrumental in the team's wins. Robert Scott, also named to the all conference team, was the key ball handler, setting up the plays. His good defense allowed him to score many layups after having stolen the ball from the defenders. Dennis Dimwoodie was the leading rebounder for the J. V. Tigers. He controlled the offensive and defensive boards, which often allowed him to score. Dennis was also named allconference. Honorable mention to all conference was Sterling Dawson. He often brought the Tigers out of pressing situations. Dennis Dinwoodie aims for a successful free-throw. W Sterling Dawson shoots for the basket. Brad Simmons captures the ball from Poplar Bluff, while teammates Benny Ross, Paul Isom, and Robert Scott move in to help. Paul tries for another, while Danta Sullivan and Dennis wait to get the rebound.

OF HARD PRACTICE The 1977 CHS Track Team, plagued by a lack of participants, had a respectable season. Coach Welch worked the team hard, but only expected what each athlete could put out. Don Tyes, one of two seniors on the team, had excelled in the shot put and discus since he was a sophomore. He represented Caruthersville in the Indoor and Outdoor State Meets for three years. Don's highest state ranking was third. Sophomore Brad Simmons, according to Coach Welch, is the area's best middle distance runner. Brad represented the Tigers in the State Indoor and Outdoor Meets both years of his young high school career. Simmons, the only sophomore in his event, placed 10th in the state. Brad set two new JV records this year: the 440 yard run with a time of 52.4, and the 880 yard run with a time of 2:00.08. Getting out of the blocks fast is Henry Warren (center). High jumping for the Tigers this year was Brad Simmons, shown clearing the bar. Don Tyes qualified for the State Indoor and Outdoor Track Meets in putting the shot and throwing the discus. He placed 3rd in the State in the shot put. Brad Simmons is shown placing first as usual. Brad qualified for the state meets in the 880-yard run. He was the only sophomore in the 880 state meet, and placed 10th. Bobby Eledge and Scott Brewer placed consistently in pole vault competition. Lawrence Dorroh threw the shot put for the Freshman Tigers. Frank Flowers and Porter Warren were two strong assets to the Freshman Tigers.
