Clarksville High School - Tiger Claw Yearbook (Clarksville, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1976 volume:

TIGER CLAW During our nation's bicentennial, the theme of the Tiger Claw is the Spirit of 76. Clarksville and Red River County are rich in historical events. This year's high school yearbook is dedi- cated to preserving many of these historical places in pictures and stories. 1976 Clarksville High School Clarksville, Texas OUR AMERICAN HERITAGE The original Red River District was an area so large that 36 Texas counties have been carved from the vast territory. Anglo-American settlers were in what is now Red River County as early as 1811. Jonesboro Crossing located on the Red River became a booming port. Such notables as Stephen F. Austin, David Crockett, and Sam Houston entered Texas at this point. For a while Jonesboro was the only Texas town of importance north of Nacogdoches. According to a census by a Mexican official, the population of Jonesboro in 1834 was 2,350. Sam Houston Park is located near the site of Old Jonesboro on FM 410. In the park is a marker desig- nating the place where Sam Houston entered Texas. The lonely grave of Jane Chandler Gill stands as a reminder that life in Texas in the 1830's was not easy.

All that remains of the once booming town of Jones- boro is a stone monument in the Sam Houston Park. By 1840, disease and malaria had caused settlers and traders to mow to other points. The Red River changed course and Jonesboro lived only in the memory of Texans. 2 Captain James Clark founded Clarksville in 1834. Clarksville became the capital of the Red River District in 1836 and was recognized by the Republic of Texas as the county seat of Red River County in 1837. Captain Clark had come to Jonesboro in 1820 on a contract to feed Indians of the five civilized tribes. He was a statesman, businessman, peacemaker and soldier. Captain Clark, who fought in the Texas Revolution, is buried in the Clarksville Cemetery. Captain Clark's father, Benjamin Clark, is buried in the same family plot. Benjamin Clark was a Sergeant Major in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. His grave is the only veteran of the American Revolution whose grave has been located and marked in Red River County. Contents Opening Faculty Classes Personalities and Awards Organizations Spons Special Events Advertisements Information for the opening sec- tion and division pages was fur- nished by the Red River County Historical Society. 3 In the center of the square in Clarksville is a tall stately monument erected in the memory of confederate soldiers. Three historical markers have been placed around the square. One honors the members of the Con- federate Congress. The second marker honors Reverend William Stevenson who preached to Indians and Anglo-Americans in the area as early as 1815. The third marker tells of the importance of the Civil War stagecoach stop in Clarksville. Few people have not heard of the Hanging Tree located in the Clarksville Cemetery. The huge post oak tree stood as a grim reminder to the citizens in the 1830's that law and order was to be upheld in the frontier town of Clarksville. 4 As ihe frontier became more stable, early settlers started building homes and churches. Some of these still stand. The Doctor Look home was started around 1880, the W. L. Nunnely home in 1868, the DeMorse home in 1833, and the Tucker home in 1870. All of these beautiful old homes have either been restored or plans are in the process to do so. St. Paul Methodist Church was one of the first Negro churches in Texas. Since it was erected in 1883, six generations have worshipped there. The First United Presbyterian Church was organized at Old Shiloh in 1833. In 1858, it was moved to Clarksville. The present building was built in 1905. The class favorite pictures were taken in front of the building. 5 All who visit the lovely restored home of Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Tucker (the Rice Harris Home) come away with a deeper appreciation for our American Heritage. Antiques fill each room. The bed pictured below is over 300 years old. In the lovely two story home there are 7 fireplaces which are operable. Captain William Becknell was the founder of The Santa Fe Trail from Independence, Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1821. He was given a large amount of land in this area as a bonus for serving in the Texas Revolution. Captain Becknell’s grave marker stands in an open field off Highway 82. As one drives down the highway and sees the lonely marker, he country so that we can enjoy the freedom and prosperity is reminded of those who contributed so much to our that we have today. 6 FACULTY River County Courthouse 7 Administration School Board MRS.

A later charter, 1860, called it the McKenzie Male and Female College. During the school year 1859-60, enrollment was 405 students. Graduates through the years totaled about 3,300. After Dr. and Mrs. McKenzie became too old to actively oversee the college, the charter and many books were transferred to Southwest University at Georgetown.

Darrell Pearson SPECIAL EVENTS Ch arles DeMorse Home Charles DeMorse, Father of Texas Journalism and publisher of THE NORTHERN STANDARD, was a vocal newsman who dominated Texas journalism for years. As a marine lieutenant during the Texas Revolution, he guarded Santa Anna who was a prisoner of war aboard the Texas schooner, Independence. Although he was from the North, he fought for the confederacy. The DeMorse home started with two log rooms in 1833. 108 Early Pep Rally The band, cheerleaders, and football players had started to work a long time before the first day of classes. On Friday before school started, the new coaches were introduced at a pep rally that was held on the front lawn. 109 Fair Parade OEA DECA The fair parade was the first time that the 1975 band and drill team had an opportunity to perform. Clubs did their part by entering cars and floats in the parade. no Cheerleaders Band The iliosi attractive poster of the year said CHS Fighting Tigers. FT A presented the Teacher of the Month at the pep rallies. In Novem- ber it was Mr. Payne. Pep Rallies Pep rallies are an important part of school. From the fight song to the alma mater exciting things happen. Senior Frances Collier 111 The football players were lined up and given ice to find out who was Mr. Cool.” As the band staned to play When the Clarksville Tigers fall in line . . . the crowd stood and cheered. The funny little men are favorites at pep rallies. Senior Paula Haruick The teachers did an outstanding job of leading cheers - a little awkward maybe. 112 Spirit Week Classes worked to be the winners of the different contests during Spirit Week. As in previous years, the freshmen were the most enthusiastic! There was a Chain Day, an Over-all Day, a Pin Day. and finally a Hush Day. 114 Hush Day started at 11:30 when there was a pep rally on the patio. The screams and cheers grew and grew until Student Council President Rickey Brantley put the lid on the yell jar. That afternoon there w� o not a sound in the halls and classrooms; assignments were written on the board. It was the quietest CHS had been in many days. 115 Home coming Terrie Brown was chosen Homecom- ing Queen. She was crowned by last year's queen, Vicki Vaughan. Ter- rie's escort was Terry Dilbeck. 116 Last Pep Rally There were flowers for the cheerleaders. Miss Stewart and Ellie Sweetheart Janet got a kiss. As they make the final circle, seniors begin to realize that 12 years have gone by quickly. Grade school is behind them; high school will soon be; their adult life lies before them - to make of it whatever they choose. 117 Senior Rings Seniors count the days from the time they measure for their rings (while they are juniors), until they pay for them, and then until they actually get them. The days drag by! This year's rings are different from all other classes. They ordered the bicentennial Spirit of 76 design. Each sen- ior will wear it with pride. Kay had taken all the money for the rings - her pay was being one of the first to get theirs. 118 Friends turning rings has become a tradition, but it is a new experience for each class. 119 November Assembly Misty Cliff played for a Thanksgiving assembly. Band members are Steve Ellis, Chuck Williams, Roy Dale Bray, and Kerry Sheppard. Fifth period typing class was instrumental in arranging the assembly. 120 Christmas Activities The Future Teachers sponsored a decorating contest. The Tiger Rag’s main decoration said Merry Christmas in 13 different lan- guages. The FHA had an unusual Night Before Christmas.” The Library Club decorated the Library. All of the clubs did an outstanding job. Second Place AND TO ALL A cooo 121 The Choral Club entertained at an assembly. Third Place Misty Cliff played for the Christmas dance that the sophomores sponsored. Half the fun of the dance is getting out of class that afternoon to decorate. It looks as though the Christmas trees get bigger each year. 122 Christmas Dance Caps and Gowns Time finally arrived to be measured for caps and gowns. The sizes ranged from liny to extra large. Each wearer is an individual who has hopes, dreams and plans for the future. Graduation night is the beginning of all tomorrows. 125 Sen ior Accomplishments JULIUS BELL: Football Capt., Class Favorite, Boys’ State Rep., Drill Team Beau TERRIE BOLTON: Band. NHS, Fresh.
