f 1 5 CRUCIBLE 1970 Fairfield High School Fairfield, Alabama Volume Forty-Five God has created no animal more powerful or more resplendent in na- ture than the Tiger. A Tiger in its fearful symmetry signifies strength, beauty, courage, veracity, and nobility. For many years the students at FHS have exemolified true Tiger Spirit. The Spirit of the Tiger is revered at Fairfield. This spirit reflects the students attitude toward their school, the fierce pride they take in who they are, their honesty, and their loyalty. It is this Spirit which enables the students at FHS to succeed in every phase of school life, and enables graduates to excel and cope in this highly competitive world. The Seniors of T970 hope that the halls of FHS will always be alive with true Tiger Spirit. Introduction . Acodemics . .. Orgonizotions Student Lite. Sports ....... Honors ...... Closses ......

Spirit of Christmas After four and a half months of hard work, students at Fairfield looked forward with great antici- pation to the approaching Christ- mas Holidays. Assemblies, Christ- mas music, presents, and even the real Santa Claus all added to the gaiety of the week. ag? AAock Trkd Senior Government students put into practice what they have learned when they dramatize an actual court proceeding. It is here that they learn the basic fundamentals of our judicial system and the responsibility that is placed upon the indi- vidual.

But moreover, 1969 brought back Coach Jim Fuller in his first full year as Tiger head coach. It is true Coach Fuller was young, but the leadership and knowledge he posaf.. sessed was responsible for retaining a very old part of Fairiield Athletics. Of course, we are speaking of Fair- iield 's winning tradition. It was evident from the very beginning that Coach Fuller 's leadership was to spell out Athletic Victory in the year to come. With the help of his assistants, Coaches McGehee, Moss and William- son, and in his own special way, Fuller instilled the ideals of spirit, sportsman- ship, and teamwork that was such a vital part of the successful 1969 year. lt is for these reasons that all are proud of the 1969-'70 athletic pro- gram, the boys who participated in it, and even more of our coach, Jim Fuller. Fairfield Tigers Accept Pride and spirit have often been said to be the keys to success in any walk of life. The Fairfield Tigers made it plain to all early in the 1969 season that these two qualities could be found among them in great abundance. It was through this spirit and pride, complemented by dedicated coaching and teamwork, that the Tigers ran up an impressive 7-2 season and a post-season invitation to the Camellia Bowl. The spirit reflected by each member of the '69 Tiger' squad boosted and inspired the entire Fairfield student body until a new spirit of pride at F, H, S, was born. Through this pride and much devoted work the Tigers tLu'ned their goals into the realities of a brilliant season. The victories of the ,l969 Tiger football season hold count- less memories for all who were connected with them, but moreover, it exemplified the pride shown by a great student body and a great team. i ii FRONT: M, Belcher, L, Griffin, L, Latham, J, Edwards, G, Grifiin, R, Nall, R, Alexander, R, Vandrell, N, Ogletree, D, Rogers: SECOND ROW: D, Thrasher, T, Bell, W, Wade, E, Webster, S, Carter, T, Davies, L, Daniels, V, Simmori etti, Al Hubbard, B, Collier, THIRD ROW: R, Nall, P, Butler, M, Dowling, D, Johnson, D.

Although the game was called after one quarter because of rain and light failure, the Tigers returned the follow- ing evening to completely manhandle the Pell City squad. Fairfield scores came on runs by quarterbacks David White and Gene Lunceford. These fine performances were complemented by a third quarter David Freeman Held goal, and the brilliant defen- sive play of guard, Mike Dowling. All together it spelled out an 18-O victory for the Tigers and the begin- ning of a great season. , Tigers Take Frrsr Four i After polishing off Pell City the Tigers moved back to Fairfield for their first home game of the season against John Carroll. The Tigers cranked up a scoring machine early, to leave the visiting Carroll team on the bad end of a 34-O score. Reginald Nall scored twice in the Tiger effort and Virgil Pearson pulled down two ,other TD passes. Kicker David Freeman also made his presence felt as he booted two field goals. The F, H, S, winning spirit also prevailed in the rain against McAdory a week later. The Tigers used a second quarter touchdown and a two-point con- version by Gene Lunceford to down the Jackets by the score of 8-O. r F.H.S. Post Homecoming Victory. Fairfield next took on the jones Valley Brownies at Fair Park. The Tigers once again used their potent offensive battery alongwith a band of hungry defen- sive players to defeat the Brownies convincingly 25-7. Phil Chavers, David White and Don Thrasher all tallied six-pointers against Valley, and once again kicker Freeman put through two field goals. In addition the Tigers had brilliant defensive efforts put in by Belcher, Dowling and Hewlett in holding the Valley team to only seven points. Following the defeat of Jones Valley, the Tigers moved to Hueytown for the Gophers Home- coming game. lt was here the Tigers met with their first defeat by a disappointing score 7-3. After their first loss to an inspired Hueytown squad the Tigers returned home to entertain Jefferson Da- vis. The Tigers displayed much poise against the strong and highly ranked Montgomery team, but once again met with de- feat l8-l0. ln the loss the Tigers once again displayed their offensive potential and tremendous spirit. ,,W, Foirfield Seniors Provide Spirit ond Leodershrp The Tigers next be- gan preparations for their Homecoming encotuiter with a strong Bessemer team. Led by the scor- ing of end, Richard Bran- non, Aand quarterback, David White, the Tigers edged out the bigger Pur- ple Tigers by a score of 15-12. In their Homecoming victory Fairfield also used a host of outstanding defensive players to turn the Bessemer tide. Linebackers, Belcher and Latham, and guard, Mike Dowling, time and again threw the Bessemer backs before they could pile up damaging yardage. Mason and Brannon added defensive help at the line and in the secondary. In the end it was this type defensive play that pulled out the Tigers homecoming victory. Tigers Settle Score With Saks! Coming off an impressive Homecoming win over Bessemer, the Tigers set their sights on the Tarrant Wildcats. Fairfield stunned the Wildcats early with their offen- sive power and they never recovered. All together it spelled out a 57-0 win, the biggest Tiger win in the last eight years. White, Mason, Chavers, Freeman, Collier. Baughn and Rogers all scored for Fairfield and Wayne Wade recovered the two Tarrant fumbles to lead the Tiger defensive effort. ln their season finale Fair- iield took on an old foe, Saks High of Anniston. David White tallied two touchdowns and Ronald Nall another to lead the Tigers to a welcomed 20-6 victory. The Fairfield team next Uaveled to Greenville, Ala. to meet Lowndes Academy in the Camellia Bowl. It was here the tough Tiger team met their match and were defeated t 36-26. t Deserving Boys Rate Awards VIRGIL PEARSON Most Valuable Back N I r DAVID WHITE Most Valuable Player 'IW RICHARD BRANN ON Most Valuable Lineman LYNN GRIFFEN Highest Scholastic Average Tigers Display Great Potential 1970 TIGER BASKETBALL TEAM: Carter, Dunn, Hubbard, White, Baughn, Easley, Ellis, Wilson Chavens Lunceford.

The season this year contained several amazing hi-lights which would stand out in the mind of any basketball enthusiast. The Tiger 's big chance to prove themselves came with our first home game against Oak Grove. Led to victory by the superb shooting of Sammy Dunn, Phil Chavers, Gene Lunceford and by board rulers, Dwight Ellis and Stanley Wilson, the Tigers won this most im- portant game. Then Bessemer, always a formidable rival, downed the Tigers in a rough and tuff game which was decided at the end of five overtimes. Good things are in the forecast for Tiger basket- ball next year with the experience of Gene Lunce- ford, Phil Chavers, Stanley Wilson, David Easley, and Bruce Baughn. Several good prospects can also be found among the ranks of rising B-teamers to be included in the Varsity.

Boys' Stote To learn the basic structure of government through participation, Boys' State was instituted by the American Legion. Representing FHS was Kenneth Harris and Tommy Car- penter. At Boys' State, it is possible that some of the future politicians received their first inkling about what government really involves. The Birmingham Efhas initiated a fine program in which studems from various high schools appear on television and ex- press their ideas about recent news events and how these events affect' ordinary peo- ple. Fairiield is fortunate in having three students - Kia, Jerry, and Gene - to appear on Know Your News. Jerry Pate Kia Paulson Gene Honeycutt Birmingham News Citizenship Tour In touring Jamestown and Wash- ington, D.

Nancy Powell was one of these students who traveled during A, E, A, last spring to see her country 's past and present.
