Text from Pages 1 - 268 of the 1963 volume:

The 1963 Senior Class and the Crucible Staff present The Crucible Through These Qoors Gadsden High School Gadsden, Alabama Volume 37 Ca m Buildings These are the many varied buildings of Gadsden High School which open their doors to the ad- vancing students. Each one pertains to a different aspect of schooling, but each one holds an im- portant part in building a well-rounded educated person. The edifices house chemistry laboratories, musical instruments, sewing machines, and typewri- ters. With these tools Gadsden High School pre- pares the students for the life-long jobs ahead. The main building of Gadsden High School hous- es the majority of the student body. Built in 1924 but renovated in 1960, the edifice possesses the same brick shell but displays an entire new interior. Each room has newly painted walls, linoleum floors, and furnishings. This year the students also were privileged to have Cablevision installed in each room. The main building also boasts one of the best equipped and lighted auditoriums in Ala- bama. The new cafeteria-music building, constructed in 1959, stands to the left of the main building. Di- vided into a choral department and band depart- ment, the music floor contains separate music prac- tice rooms in which individual students may prac- tice without disturbing the practicing band or choral groups. The band and choral room floors are elevated for the convenience of the pupils. Gadsden High also boasts of a new science building built in 1960 with the best-equipped chem- istry laboratory in the state of Alabama. The bio- logy rooms also hold experimental tables. Making the building more attractive, a botanical garden stands on the main floor. Connected to the science building, the home eco- nomics building produces the future home makers of tomorrow. With the sewing room on one side and the kitchens on the other, the students learn the proper procedure of cooking and sewing. Built in 1959, the athletic room and coaches' office help aid the athletes in learning their dif- ferent plays. Adjoining the football field, the build- ing is within easy reach for needed equipment. The doors of these buildings are open and ready to receive the pupils of Gadsden High School, and through these doors they come. The main building of Gadsden High School stands as the headquarters of the campus. The cafeteria-music building offers separate practice rooms for individual students. With its many full win dows, the students are able to view the surrounding area. This year the bandroom was air conditioned. The science building offers new electrical charts for chemistry problems. Each biology room also contains laboratories and storage rooms for the many experiments which the teachers perform. [ 3 ] Through These Doors At the beginning of the 1963 school year, the seniors gradually ascended the steps of Gadsden High School. In their thoughts ap- peared many quandaries facing young people all over the world. After their re- maining year of high school, they would begin either a new life at college or at a permanent job. This last year of prepara- tion was an important time in their lives. Through these doors of Gadsden High School they walked. Carrying their hopes in their hearts and their ability in their heads, each entered this school for a single purpose—the opportunity to acquire a free education. Some took advantage of this op- portunity and some did not; nevertheless, the opportunity was there. The system of education at Gadsden High is most conducive for learning. These grad- uating students, as well as the sophomores and juniors, had the finest opportunity to prepare for their college courses or their commercial jobs. Each teacher, qualified and sincere, strived to guide these students in their respective vocations. With the many varied facilities available, students also were able to experiment with the extensive and varied equipment. The new chemistry building, music rooms, and language laboratories provided the opportunity to expand from the textbook into the actual participation of the different subjects. Through these doors have walked many senior classes—each class contributing to the honor and glory of this school. Through the years the portals have stood firm and strong. These doors of opportunity are al- ways open at Gadsden High School for those who dare to become responsible citi- zens of the world today. With Lttve... Mr. Davis One day in January, 1924, a small, dignified young man walked through the doors of Gadsden High School. A few months before, he had begun a teaching career at the old Disque High School; and now with the opening of the new Gadsden High School, he would start a life of loyalty, de- votion and labor. Mr. J. R. Davis is the name of this man, and to this man we humbly dedicate the 1963 CRUCIBLE. Mr. Davis was born seventy-two years ago in Calhoun County, Alabama. He had a very normal childhood with a vivid interest in sports and school. When he graduated from high school, he taught in the rural schools around Alexandria, Alabama. He attended Jacksonville College for two years and finished at Auburn in engineering. From there he went with the Westinghouse Company as an en- gineer, but teaching was in his blood. When he started teaching at G.H.S., he was hired as a coach, teacher of mathematics, and head of the manual arts department — all at one time! Later the faculty hired a fulltime coach, and Mr. Davis became a fulltime mathematics teacher. Mr. Davis is one of the most prominent members in school life. During World War II he was acting principal and now continues as assistant principal. Being interested in all sports, he is the business manager of the athletic department. He sponsors the chess club and the J. R. Davis Hi-Y, a club very appropriately named after him. Furthermore, he teaches an adult night school class and works for the city recreation department with the baseball program. He is always active in church work and is a regular member of the choir at the First Methodist Churchof Gadsden. We could go on and on using complimentary adjectives in this dedication, but words cannot ex- press the feeling of love and devotion the students have for Mr. Davis. He is the backbone and heart of this school. He, over everyone else, has watched G.H.S. grow and prosper. He has seen his students marry, have children, and continue through the doors of opportunity and wealth. Therefore, with all our respect and gratitude, we dedicate this, our yearbook to you, Mr. J. R. Davis. Through his class door, Mr. Davis is seen pointing out a complicated problem. Mr. Davis is always at the pep rallies in order to spur the boys to victory. His encouraging words always make the boys willing to win. Mr. Davis checks all the monthly reports for the teachers. He is always prompt and pre- pared. He also can boast of a perfect attend- ance record. Mr. Davis is always willing to help the students in their work. One can see by their happy expressions that he is one of their favorite teachers. ■II IE EJ A thirties Table of Contents Administration....... • • • page 10 Activities..................28 Organizations........ • • • • page 64 Athletics ...............

With communication and transportation bringing countries closer together, a knowledge of languages is becoming more of a necessity every day. When a person speaks a foreign language, he becomes acquainted with a new country and its customs. A student is able to enjoy good litera- ture by the authors in their native tongues. With this knowledge a student can better acquaint him- self with the rhythmic grace of the poetic lines. Language also presents a challenge to every stu- dent in mastering a language. Not everyone can, but when he does, he feels a great pride in his accomplishment. Mrs. Levi surveys her closs before beginning her work of signing schedule cards and giving instructions about the year's work. History Department Many nations and peoples have lived in the lands that have helped to make today's world. The struggles of these people and nations have created the framework of our political and economic life. Their forms of education and culture provided the foundation for many of our ways of doing things. Their achievements have helped us to under- stand the advantages of building upon their contributions. The study of history helps us to understand not only the relationship between the past and present, but also our role as citizens in today's world.

Auditorium at Gadsden High School Activities ' • • A banner erected by the Senior class depicts the Tiger as he begins to reign once more over the students who will study under this mighty symbol. The Seniors chose this manner of greeting new and returning students on opening day. The reactions of students were varied when everyone met in the halls for the first time since June. Opening Day... Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors thronged to Gadsden High School on September 4, 1962. The occasion? The opening day of school. Registration had been completed in the spring, and the students' only problem on this bright September day was that of finding the proper classes during the proper periods. The Sophomores were totally bewildered. Juniors and Seniors had their problems, too. Teachers, hurried and harassed, suffered patiently during the confusing hours. Mr. Dobbs, the supervisor of all activities seem- ed worried about the management of 1146 students who arrived on opening day. Mrs. Watford appeared glad to be back and students seemed eager to see if Mrs. Watford remained the same after her absence of one year from the teaching staff. The student body flocked to the bulletin boards to find their home- room. Students are placed in homerooms according to alphabetical listings which are placed on bulletin boards in the front hall on opening day. .. .1962-63 School Year Mr. F. T. Dobbs, our principal, began the day with an assembly in which he introduced the students to our assistant principal, Mr. J. R. Davis. The new teachers, Mrs. Mashbum, Mrs. Pruett, Coach O'Linger, as well as the other members of the faculty of Gadsden High School were also introduced. After a brief run-through of the schedule, teachers and students went home, ready to return the following day and begin the new year with industry and optimism. Mrs. Bellenger, Junior English teacher, calmly checked her temporary roll on Opening Day. Mrs. Bellenger has been a much-loved teacher of the English de- partment at G.H.S. for many years. The typical teacher's first day did not bother Mrs. Moshburn, a new addition to the G.H.S. faculty and to the teaching profession. Mrs. Mashburn replaced Mrs. Marshall who was out of active teaching for a year's leave of absence. Mrs. Bullock was again faced with the problem of over-sized Physical Education classes. Physical Education is a required course at G.H.S. for all sophomores; and many students continue with this program during their junior and senior years. Cheerleaders Randy Laney, Linda Boswell, Geraldine Kohler, Pam Culver, Paula Siniard, Myron Allenstein, Janis Newhoff, and Mike Akin led cheers at our first pep rally held in the stadium on a warm Sep- tember day. es... In the gym or stadium where G.H.S. pep rallies are held, cheers such at T-E-A-M resound. Pep rallies are an important part of life at Gadsden High School especially during the football season. At these rallies preceding each game the student body gives to the members of the team the needed encouragement to carry the Tigers to victory. This past year the band and Tigerettes, the eight marching flag swingers of Gadsden High School, boosted spirit and en- tertained the student body. The Tigerettes performed to such numbers as 'The Stripper and other popular songs played by the band. Often during the rallies, members of the faculty were called upon by the student body to give short pep speeches. Frequently called upon were Mr. Countryman and Coach O'Linger, as well as Mr. Davis and Mrs. Bullock. Mr. Countryman not only directed the band but alto directed the student body by lifting their spirit through frequent pep talks. [ 32 ] Juniors onxiously waited to give a hearty Yes! to the cheerleader's inquiry, Are you with us? This question is immediately followed by a cheer to the teom from the entire student body. Before Game Spirit Coach O'linger, the newest addition to our coaching stoff, gave several rousing speeches at pep rallies throughout the foot- ball season. Senior saints proudly went marchin' in. This action done, traditionally to the tune of When the Saints Go Marchin' In, by members of the senior class spurs the team to victory. Mr. Ami� , Curtis Publishing Co. representative, comes to G. H. S. to prod the Seniors into selling. The citizens of Gadsden continue to wonder who is the better salesman, Mr. Amis or the Senior Class members. Magazine Goal... Senior class president Rodney Shamblin and Mr. Amis agreed that the class of '63 was the best. They knew that this yeor the seniors would accomplish their goal and top last year's sales of $15,143.62. Members of the senior class telephoned, rang doorbells, and approached friends with one question ever on their minds, ' Would you like to buy a magazine subscription? When the three weeks of selling were over, the diligent seniors had over shot their goal of $15,150 and had earned $15,424.21. Every fall the senior class sells magazine sub- scriptions in order to help finance the Gadsden High School yearbook. In the years that the seniors have been selling subscriptions, each Two members of each homeroom served as Magozine Captains. It was their job to sell magazine subscrip- tions and to keep track of the money brought in by the members of their homeroom. Senior� who sold $100 or more in subscriptions were awordcd a certifi- cate and o $100 pin. These seniors played on important port in helping the closs earn $15,160. ... $15,424.21 from Seniors class has sold more dollar's worth than the pre- ceding class. This year was no exception. The winning homeroom brought in $2,703.23. Forty- nine students sold $100 worth, or more, and the top salesman grossed over $500. When magazine selling time approached, in blew Mr. Windy Amis. Mr. Amis brought with him many speeches concerning the excellence of Gadsden High School's seniors, the necessity of magazine sales and the energy of Sister Luker. Mr. Dobbs presented high solesman. Potty Gowaty, with a cosh award of $50. Potty sold more subscriptions than ony other senior. She helped her Homeroom, Mrs. Bugg's, go over its goal and become the top homeroom in salesmanship. Senior class sponsors Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Watford, and Mrs. Walker, were each given a five-pound box of candy for being inspiring sponsors who led the closs to victory in the magazine campaign. Rodney Shamblin served os gift bearer and presented the teachers with the candy. Hc-d w-c- -� g Mion produced e ffec � W cob «ia -t� decorated os tK ba- rd Scod o of «W float Homecoming....

Mis Elaine Marlin beautifully odorned the F.B.I-A. float winner in the automobile divisions of the float judging. Seniors as wel as juniors and sophomores exploded with energy during the pa rode. Mr. Davis and the senior doss sponsors rode m front of the senior float. I 37 ] Anniston's Bulldogs fell prey to the big freeze from the senior class. Since the weatherman sent freez- ing temperatures to the construction of the floats, this theme proved very appropriate. Wiggins Motor Com- pany, Inc. helped shield the builders and house their float. Topping juniors easily downed all opposition. Junior's initial arrangement for preparing their float at the Civic Center were changed, after a few days, to John Thomas Motors, Inc. due to the extreme cold wea her. Hush puppies originated by the sophomore class added humor to the festivities. Even though it was their first attempt at float building, the sophomores received many compliments on their construction. Sopho- mores had a great time building their float at Hubble Metals. Homecoming maids were: Janice Blackwood, Beckie Bradley, Jone Ann Jacobs, the Queen, Donna Whit- tle, Peggy Woods, Cathy Cole, Pam Culver, and their escorts Kenny Rainey, Trey Tolley, Randy Laney, Court Hurst, Monty Thurmond, Ronnie Thomason, and John Davis. The 1937 Homecoming Queen, Mrs. Jimmy McKinney, crowned our 1962 Queen, Donna Whittle. Reigning Queen, Donna Whittle, was escorted by Student Council President, Court Hurst and senior class President, Rodney Shamblin. Students cheered loudly throughout the game. The stage for the annual Valentine Program was graced by heart and members of the faculty, thus portraying votion of the students at G.H.S. for the faculty. the respect and de- Valentine Program.... Rodney Shamblin, President of the senior class, opened the program and later introduced the sponsors. Speeches, honoring the five teachers who have served G.H.S. longest, were made by Susan Wilson, Patty Gowaty, Dottie Battles, Kirk Folio, and Kathy Hoffman. On February 14, when the minds of most students turn to hearts and cupids, the Senior class departed from these traditional thoughts and honored the faculty of G.H.S. Speeches were made honoring the five teachers who have devoted the most number of years to the service of Gadsden High. Chosen for this honor were: Mrs. Bellenger, Mrs. Couch, Mr. Davis, Mrs. Leath, and Mrs. White. Susan Wilson gave a clear account of the life of our competent junior English teacher, Mrs. Bellenger. Dottie Battles outlined for those at the assembly a day with Mrs. Couch, who knows everything from whether the office sells thumbtacks to when the next ball game is. Kirk Folio's speech was made in the form of a letter nominating Mr. Davis for the honor of Alabama's Favorite Teacher. Kathy Hoffman reported on Mrs. Leath, the Grand Old Lady of the biology department. Patty Gowaty's speech told the story of the historical Latin teacher, Mrs. White, and her favorite friend, Cleopatra. While the Sextet, pictured above, sang, the officers of the senior class gave boxes of candy to the members of the faculty, and the program ended on a musical note. Clas President Rodney Shamblin, and Student Council President Court Hurst presented roses to the class sponsors, Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Watford and Mrs. Thompson who worked untiringly in the assembly which proved inspiring to oil. The stage for the the senior talent show was set in a library where students come to study and work on themes. Senior Talent Show... “Quiet Please” Tired of the many hours that they had spent in the library, the seniors centered their talent show around the idea of a lively session in the house of books. The senior talent show, Quiet Please which was dedicated to Mr. Davis, created a happy atmos- phere among the audience. The introduction to the talent show was a spirited version of Let's Go. At that point librarian Jimmie Ann Guest came in, de- manded quiet, and left. When the coast was clear Susan Wilson sang Let Me Entertain You. It was a gay rendition of the song from Gypsy Then Mary Ann Pounds, whose research theme was on music, demonstrated the main idea of her theme and played Grieg's Concerto-A Minor. Afterward, Cathye Cole and Gary Smith carried on a courtship and danced to Teacher's Pet. Realizing that both their themes dealt with opera, Judy Capps and John Davis sang a hilarious version of Mockingbird Hill. Mel- anie Alford, Linda Cohn, Pam Culver, Donna Whittle, Mary Ann Pounds, and Carol Burke knew that the end was in sight and sang Everything's Cornin' Up Roses. Gary Klotzman's work was completed and he sang Hey Look Me Over. Nobody rejoiced with him, however, so he changed his song to Smile. All the commotion gave Carol Cecilia a headache; and she performed a mono- logue patterned after a well-known T.V. commercial on aspirin. Next, David Hill and Charles Lawson played Calcutta on the ac- cordion and ukulele. Then love-sick Charles Holloway sang about Maria, his true love. Jimmie Ann returned and tried in vain to restore order. Then the show ended rousingly with A Lot of Shakin. John Davit and Judy Capps sang Mockingbird Hill in light opera. It was one of the most entertaining numbers in the show. Jimmie Ann Guest as the librarian tried, as all librarians do, to keep quiet and order in the library; but the only thing she got was chaos. [ 42 ] David Parsons, Susie House, and Roger Beshears expressed the thoughts of the judge when he lost his gavel by singing If I Had A Hammer. Junior Talent Show... “Jivin' Justice 9? Justice really jived during the thirty minute talent show presented by the junior class. The juniors, who held court on the G.H.S. stage, truly gave a prize-winning show. Judge Jim Wintrod opened the day in court and the members of the jury walked right in. On the first case Black Jim, Danny Loftin, was convicted of chicken stealing and not even Bobby Kennedy, Richard Singleton, could help him. Poor Mary Spence Meighan and Kay Whisenant were unable to make the payments on their piano; but they managed to talk the judge into letting them play one last song, Deep Purple, while Glen Smith performed magic tricks. When Roger Beshears, Bob Killian, and Ricky Countryman were arrested for cattle rustling, they explained that they were only petting the Lonely Bull. Anne Gidley and Gloria Wells were brought into court for vandalism. They promised to reform and make some changes which they did. They changed entire outfits during their number. Arrested for traffic violations, Sally Richardson got off by dancing to Nola. Sandra Hendrickson came to court to testify for her driving pupil who had been arrested for traffic violations. Later, a calamity occured when the Judge lost his gavel; but Susie House, Roger Beshears and Davis Parsons took advantage of the moment to sing If I Had A Hammer. Then Beth Bernard and Steve Means did a modern dance to Steam Heat, after which a boys' chorus entertained the audience with the Can-Can. Jubilance over the adjournment of court was emphasized in the finale when the entire cast sang C'mon Let's Get Ready. The Lonely Bull was only one of many excellent numbers in the Junior Talent Show. [ 43 ] Following the plot of the sophomore talent show, Tassie Adherholt did The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and entertained those attend- ing the ball. Sophomore Talent Show... I m From Dixie 99 I'm from Dixie was the theme of the delightful and beautifully costumed sophomore talent show. The sophomores guided the audience through a day of preparation for an old-fashioned southern ball. Using Philip Oliver as narrator, the show had a polished atmosphere all its own. While the curtain was closed, the combo played a rousing arrangement of I'm from Dixie, too. When the curtain opened the slaves appeared, complete with blacked skin. Their version of Nobody Knows the Trouble I Seen was quite original. Benny Cosby's Mammy brought tears into the eyes of Carolyn Whitley, who spilled water abundantly. Shinanogins and My Old Kentucky Home added gaiety to the program. Beckie Bradley and Malinda Garner acted in a dialogue describing the age-old blind dates. After the Ball and Deep Purple were two of the excellent numbers in the show. Tassie Aderholt's Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and Rodney Wilson's Old Man River were classical and novel numbers that helped make the show enjoyable throughout. Portraits of Mr. Davis and Mrs. Couch, drawn by Beckie Bradley and Sandy Downey, were presented to our favorite math teacher and registrar. The Finale, an a cappella version of Dixie was arranged by Terry Jordan and Rodney Wilson. This final number put the finishing touch on a well-produced program. The finale of the talent show brought the entire cast and crew on stage for an a cappella arrangement of Dixie.' [ 44 ] Trip to Mexico... Surprise, Mrs. Mrs. Hill received her ticket from the co-chairmen of the project, Aurelia Glosser and Donnie Weathington. On Tuesday, December 18th, the Spanish and Russian students of Mrs. Dora Gene Hill surprised her with $262.00 for a summer trip to Mexico. The students had planned this surprise for over a month, and the surprise party afterwards was an added treat. The idea of sending Mrs. Hill to Mexico came out of a simple conversation among some of her students. Someone commented on how well she spoke Spanish and asked how many countries had she visited. Someone else stated that Mrs. Hill had never been in a Spanish-speaking country and wouldn't it be nice to send her. Thus the idea was born. The two co-chairmen, Aurelia Glosser and Donnie Weathington, got all her students together secretly and proposed the idea. All her students contributed $2 each. Letters were sent to former students of Mrs. Hill, and they contributed generously. The students, old friends, Spanish friends of Gadsden, and Mr. Hill were there to surprise her with the money and the party. Mrs. Hill was shocked, but she thanked everyone for their support and gift. Then all the students gathered and refreshments were served. Mr . Hill happily counted her money with her husband Raymond Hill. Those students who contributed to Mrs. Hill's trip also gave her a surprise party after school. Vicki Pope. Business Manager of the CRUCIBLE, explained to the lettermen the usual procedure followed in selecting the G.H.S. Queen. The Lettermen Bob Ingeman, Jim Pike, and Tony Butala entertained at a show at Jack- sonville State College. While they were at Jacksonville, the Lettermen selected the Queen of Gadsden High. The Selectors... When the three classes at Gadsden High School elected their class beauties, the long process of crowning the Queen of G.H.S. was begun. Members of each class voted on the girl from their own class whom they considered was the most beautiful, had the best personality, and possessed the greatest amount of charm and poise. The winners of this election were Pam Culver from the Senior class, Peggy Woods from the Junior class, and Janice Blackwood from the Sophomore class. The girls then rode thirty miles to Jacksonville State College where they were judged by the Lettermen; Bob Ingeman, Jim Pike, and Tony Butala. After talking gaily with the beauties for about twenty minutes, the Lettermen turned their backs and marked the prepared letter, thus completing the selection of the Queen. The envelope was then sealed and returned to Vicki Pope, Business Manager of the CRUCIBLE. The envelope was left un-opened until the night of the Coronation Ball when its contents became known to everyone and the Queen of G.H.S. was crowned. Bob Ingeman and Pam Culver had no trouble getting acquainted and having their picture made. Pam was the Senior beauty. The Lettermen were introduced to the clast beauties Pam Culver, Janice Black- wood, and Peggy Woods. The group then discussed hobbies as well as the en- tertainment field. ... The Lettermen Jim Pike and Peggy Woods enjoyed meeting each other and chatting for a few minutes. Peggy represented the Junior class as its beauty. Janice Blackwood and Tony Butalo were fast friends after a few minutes and enjoyed dis- cussing hobbies. Janice was beauty of the Soph- omore class. GADSDKN HIGH SCHOOL t'luelf’ti GADSDFN.

King Court made the regal walk to his throne. Presented to the King were Senior Favorites Cathye Cole, Donna Whittle, and Susan Wilson,- Junior Favorites Jane Dobbs, Julia Duke, and Jane Ann Jacobs,- Sophomore Favorites Beckie Bradley, Sandy Downy, and Sandra Hayes. Attending the King were Junior Kingsmen Bruce Nichols, Charles Robinett, and Mike L. Robertson,- Sophomore Kingsmen Will Lawrence, John Roberts, and Mike Griffin. As the three beauties—Pam Culver, Peggy Woods and Janice Blackwood—entered, tension mounted. The Beauties were escorted by Senior Kingsmen Mike Akin, Dickie Jackson, and John Davis. Aurelia Glosser, Editor of the CRUCIBLE, handed King Court Hurst the letter which contained the Lettermen's selection for Queen. Suspense filled the room as King Court opened the envelope. Everyone knew that G.H.S. would soon have a new Queen. King Court then crowned Peggy Woods as Queen of Gadsden High School. Michael Moor served as Emcee of the Corona- tion Ball. CRUCIBLE EDITOR, Aurelia Glosser, gave King Court Hurst the all-important envelope which contained the name of the Queen. King Court Hurst named the junior beauty, Peggy Woods as his Queen. ... A Regal Affair Peggy Woods made a regal courtsey while Court Hurst crowned her os Queen of Gadsden High School. King Court Hurst and Queen Peggy Woods reigned over the Ball with dignity and grace. [ 49 ] Vicki Pope, chaplain of the Student Council ot G.H.S., gave the devotion at an assembly at which Bill Shamblin was the speaker. Bill, a senior at Tuscaloosa County High School, is the stote President of the Alabama Association of Student Councils.

These speakers included Dr. Theron Montgomery, Dr. James Gladden, Lieu- tenant-Governor James B. Allen, Dr. A. T. Sprouse, Mayor Leslie Gilliland, and Robert Hayes.

Coach Bostick captures the ball and starts for the basket with vigor. Student-Faculty Basketball Game... One of the major attractions in March is the annual student — faculty basketball game. All the varsity basketball players are teamed against the male members of the faculty. All the students get out of the last period class to watch the heated battle. The women teachers serve as the cheerleaders and morale backers of the men teachers. Usually the game is fairly close at the beginning, but youth seems to take over after the first quarter. This year, although Coach Bostick, Coach Green, and Coach O'Linger, gave a valiant try, the story was the same. The students got the one chance of getting even with the teachers by stomping the faculty 62-25. Algebra teacher, Mr. Thomas Hughes, fights it out with student London Cooke as the game progressed. The Gadsden High Band played severol patrotic numbers before the program began. Loyalty Day Program..Patriotism On Wednesday, May 2, Gadsden High School was privileged to have a selected group of high school students from Gadsden High School and Emma Sansom High School to deliver a program on loyalty and on the fight against communism in America.

To Jackie Harbor, Kirk Folio, and John Speaks, water guns were an important part of Kiddie Day. Trina Killian and Sidney Ann Hicks were the typical happy and sad little girls on Kiddie Day. Senior Week... Each year one week in the school calendar is set aside as Senior Week. For each day during this week a certain type of dress is worn by members of the Senior class. This year, the seniors dressed for Kiddie Day, Hollywood Day, Hillbilly Day and Secret Am- bition Day. Garments worn by the Seniors were sometimes serious, but more often ridiculously funny, and Sophomores and Juniors en- joyed the week almost as much as the graduating class. R«l e«ca Pierce, Cathy Betz, Linda Wolfe, Kenny Whisenant, Diana Goss, and Mary Frances Whitmore line up and smiled for the pi'tur tain man on Hillbilly Day. [ 56 ] Ploying th famous childhood role of Sweethearts were Donnie Weathington and Marilyn Hosmer.

Fun Daze Susan Wilson, Judy Anthony, Shelia Lewis, and Janice Smith all brought their own amusements for Kiddie Day. On Hollywood Day John Davis, Michael Moore and Gary Klotzman decided to join Charlton Heston and film BEN HUR. [ 57 ] Mor« food than could possibly be oaten was served to the juniors and seniors who came to the picnic. Junior-Senior Picnic... The Junior-Senior Picnic has become a tradition at Gadsden High School. Each year the Junior Class entertains the Senior Class with a diversified array of activities. This year's picnic wos held at the city municipal pool and surrounding park and auditorium. The delicious food, piled into mountains on tables surrounding the pool, was a welcome sight after taking part in the festivities, including swimming, dancing, and even a hootenanny. The special guests were all the teachers and their families. Both Classes enjoyed an afternoon of fun and good food. Three Senior lovelies, Cathy Cole, Lynn Stringfellow, and Sally Inzer, sit back and the cornerman enjoys the view. Jerry Bonds and Sally Inzer dance to the music of the Juke Box, installed for the Seniors' enjoyment, while Ronald Ratledge shows his rythmic abilities. [ 58 ] Mory Ann Pounds seems to say, Well, the Class of '64 has done it againl as Danny Dobbs agrees. A group of swimming enthusiasts take advan- tage of the municipal pool, during the Junior- Senior Picnic. ...Tradition and Good Food The food was the most enjoyable activity of the Picnic. This group takes time a picture. off from fried chicken, potato chips, baked beans, etc. to pose for [ 59 ] The school year began with registration on a hot September day. The week of Homecoming began with the building of floats. After they were built, the floats filed down Broad Street in all their splendor. Mr. Amis came in to spur the Seniors to victory in the Magazine Sales. Random Recollections • • • The half-time show at the Homecoming game was a memorable one. No one will ever forget the night Donna Whittle was crowned. [ 60 ] The Thespian and Dramatics Clubs put on a really entertaining per- formance of You Can't Take It With You. The Tigers played many great ball games in the 1963 season. • • • 1962-63 in Pictures The 1962-1963 school year began in September with all the hulaballoo of registration. The year progressed and interests changed. From football and magazine sales, students turned to basketball and talent shows. Spring evolved and with it came Senior Week and class picnics. While these main attractions received unparalleled attention, classes were conducted and tests were given. Teachers were ever-ready to instill in the minds of the students reading', wrifin', 'rithmetic and other forms of higher learning. Sophomores and Juniors as well as Seniors enjoyed Susan Wilson's Let Me Entertain You in the talent show. t 61 ] When the G Club versed the faculty in a basketball game, the entire student body cheered an got in on the fun. One of the least enjoyed events of the year for the juniors was the taking of the Na- tional Merit Scholarship Test. Probably as unforgettable as girls playing football were Ed- die Burke and Mike Akin acting as sponsors. These ridiculous events occurred at the Powder Puff Football Game. More Memories One of the most active organizations at Gads- den High during the 1962 - 63 school year was the Student Council with Court Hurst serving as President and Mrs. Ambrester working as the club's sponsor. Class elections caused much nervous discontent among the candidates; but all the candidates had varied methods of campaigning. Good Times The Coronation Ball was a highlight of the yeor. King Court Hurst and Queen Peggy Woods reigned graciously over the dance. The day that the Juniors treated the Seniors to a picnic everyone had a ball. For the Seniors one lost fling came the night of the Senior Banquet and Dance. Members of the Class of '63 gathered at the Reich Hotel for a gala affair.

National Honor Society Outstanding students of the Junior and Senior classes are inducted annually into the National Honor Society. Fifteen percent of the Senior and five percent of the Junior class are initiated. All students maintaining a B average in their studies are recommended by the faculty on the basis of their leadership, scholarship, character and service to their school. During their voting the teachers cast votes in favor of students, never against. Induction was held March 28, 1963. As their annual project, the Honor Society sponsored tutoring classes which were held during the lunch hours and after school Monday afternoon. The purpose was to aid faltering students in their studies so that the number of failures might be lowered. On January 17, 1963 the Honor Society sponsored an assembly. The speaker Dr. Theron Montgomery of Jackson- ville State College based his speech on What Price the Whistle, an essay by Benjamin Franklin.

This past year there were forty-six members in the club. The annual Christmas induction assembly was held December 6, 1962. The guest speaker was Lt. Governor James B. Allen. Sixteen new members were initiated. As the project this year, the Renaissance Club reading lists were given to the sophomores of Gadsden High School and were sent to Disque Junior High School. This was done to encourage early qualification for the club and to teach the students the value of reading. The reading covers great reading from the time of Shakespeare and before to the modern writers. The selection of books comes from the great literature of almost every civilization in history. The members of the Renaissance Club ore: Judie Anthony, Jane Blackstone, Carol Cecilia, Karren Hays, Marilyn Hosmer, Sheila Lewis, Linda Lisenba, Serie Mouldin, Linda Millican, Mary Ann Pounds, Kenny Rainey, Gail Smith, John Speaks, Cecille Worsham, Bill Willard, Kirk Folio, Susan Albright, Dottie Battles, Cherie Beltenger, Joan Booth, Carolyn Clark, Warren Cornelius, Pat Denson, Sandra Freeman, Diana Goss, Judy Grabam, Joyce Grogory, Wanda Hall, Judy Hanby, Frances Hardin, Carolyn Harris, Donald Harsh, Margaret Kerns, Lana Lollar, Judy McCallie, Sherae Moore, Peggy Pardue, Edwinna Parnell, Marie Robinson, Darlene Runyon, Rebecca Sanderson, Pat Smith, Sara Stephens, Donnie Weathington, Estelle Weiss, Lettie Wilmore.

Tri-Hi- Y and Hi-Y Membership of the Tri-Hi-Y's and the Hi-Y'$ of Gadsden High is based on a person's genuine desire to serve the home, school and community in a more Christ-like manner. There are four girls' clubs with approximately 200 mem- bers, and there are two boys' clubs with about 70 mem- bers. In their service to their community, the Hi-Y clubs and Tri-Hi-Y clubs at G.H.S aided in projects which included roadblocks for UNICEF and Goodfellows, and the sale of World Service Candy. The profits from this sale help estab- lish and maintain Y.M.C.A.'s over the entire world. Part of the funds is also used to defray the expenses of Youth delegates. One of the main objectives of the Hi-Y year is always Youth Legislature which is held in March. The par- ticipants gather in Montgomery to legislate the bills each representative and senator writes. The first step is Pre-Youth which is held at Jacksonville State College. There, members of the clubs which plan to attend Youth select nominees from their district to run for state offices. The Electoral College is held about a month previous to Youth. Two dele- gates from each club planning to attend Youth elect the persons who will guide the legislative sessions at Youth. Youth for 1963 was held from March 21 to 24; about sixty delegates from G.H.S.'s clubs attended. Delta Tri-Hi- Y Officers of Delta Tri-Hi-Y.

Club In debate, the students learn to do adequate research, listen to both sides, be sincere, be logical, and be fair. From these high school debates, they learn how to organize a speech, how to gain self-assurance, and how to present a speech. This year the debate team has attended three major clinics. The first was held at the University of Alabama Center, where the affirmative team was Linda Cohn and Lane Chambers. The negative team was Esta Myers and Charlie Hart. Later the teams attended a practice tourna- ment for this section of Alabama. Our teams won six of the eight debates in which they participated. Finally the teams represented Gadsden High School at the Alabama Debating Tournament which was held at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. The purpose is to award honors and scholarships to the best debaters in Alabama so that their debating might be carried on later. The losses of the affirmative team were alleviated by the wins of the negative team—five out of six debates. For this outstanding performance, Esta and Charlie were designated the third negative team in the State.

Although there was a lot of horsing around, the boys and coaches alike enjoyed the break in the regular schedule offered by the trips to the pool. 1963 G i r Is ’ l h ys ica I I 136 ] Educatio n Jeanne St v n� on takes her turn on the tramp while Betty Miller, Andy Hathrone, Shannon Rogers, and Bonnie Glover wait for their chance. During this fast moving game of volleyball every eye is on the ball as it sails over the net. The green door which opens onto the south end of the stadium is the entrance to a different world at Gadsden High. Every sophomore girl—unless she is in the band— enters through this door into the Girls' Gym where she soon discovers that here she is expected to perform superhuman feats. She must change from her school clothes into that hideous gym suit and be ready to do exercises in only five minutes. After exercising strenuously for about five minutes the girls play ping-pong, basketball, tennis, softball, shuffle board, volleyball, or relay games. The trampoline is seldom seen without one or more gym-clad figures bouncing around on it. This year swimming has been added to the P.E. program. The girls board a bus at school and ride down to the municipal pool where they are instructed in swimming techniques by Mrs. Bullock. Due to the careful planning and organization by Mrs. Martha Bullock, girls' physical education provides the girls at G. H. S. with an hour each school day for physical fitness—and fun. Some of the girls seem reluctant to get in the water, but Mrs. Bullock urges them on. Ping-pong usually draws the largest number of spectators. In a hotly contested game of basketball everybody seems to want the ball. fcrlwhfr -. V’ Softball gives the girls a chance to play outside. The server yells, Ready , and the volleyball flies through the air. Kay Taliaferro seems to be asking Pat True, Is this a tennis ball? Ai Patsy Carter instructs, Beckie Bradley, Linda Smith, Carolyn Thacker, Betsy Smith, Helen Malone, and Cathy Gamblin try their hand at shuffleboard. This basketball game looks as if it might develop into a rumble. As Carolyn Headrick looks on, Darlene Brock serves. Marcia Mauldin doesn't seem to want to give up the basketball. iMflttfcHlbJNBUMI Although these girls appear ready to charge at one another, they are only doing one of Mrs. Bullock's favorite exercises. Carolyn Cline and Pat Gore bounce together on the trampoline. As Mary Jo Scales and Carol Chatham try to stare down opposing team, Pat Presley looks to the side-lines for advice. Everyone looks on as Lynn Hurley prepares to serve. Setting at Coronation Ball. Features S Royal Courts 1963 Homecoming at Gadsden High School com- menced with the election of Miss Donna Whittle as Homecoming Queen. Being in the spotlight is not a new experience for Miss Whittle. Donna, who serves as head cheerleader is also a member of the Velvetone Choir, the National Honor Society and was elected Good Citi- zenship Girl and a Senior Notable. Donna's warm per- sonality, friendly smile and scholastic ability have earned her these honors. These same assets prompted Gadsden High students to select Miss Whittle as their homecoming queen. Also elected to reign with Donna as her court were Beckie Bradley and Janis Blackwood, sophomore maids; Peggy Woods and Jane Ann Jacobs, junior maids, Pam Culver and Cathye Cole, senior maids. The Homecoming Parade which took place on the afternoon of October 27, 1962 featured the queen and her court riding on the student council float. Members of this organization had decorated a truck in aqua and white crepe paper to match the gorgeous dresses of the maids. During halftime ceremonies at the game that night Miss Whittle was crowned by the 1937 Gadsden High School Homecoming Queen. Escorting the queen were Rodney Shamblin, Senior Class president and Court Hurst, Student Council president. One of the many duties that Court Hurst as student council president as- sumes is that of escorting the home- coming queen. Her Majesty Peggy Woods His Majesty Court Hurst 1963 King and Queen Senior The name Donna Whittle has become synony- mous with many important honors. Donna's spar- kling smile and jubilant manner have made a place for her at G.H.S. that won't be easily filled. Having previously proved his leadership abilities, Rodney Shamblin was chosen by the Seniors to lead their class. Although devoting much of his time to this office, Rodney has been able to serve other organizations and has proved himself capa- ble of each position. Linda Basweil, who is well liked by G.H.S. students for her vibrant personality, remains a constant source of witticism. Although short in statue, Linda makes a big impres- sion. The phrase singing quarter- back has been applied to David Whitt because of his talent shown in the school choir and ability shown on the football field. The extremes presented in these talents show the all-around student that David represents. Notables Mary Ann Pounds can be count- ed on to achieve perfection in anything she undertakes. Mary Ann is an accomplished pianist, she sings beautifully and she maintains an outstanding scholas- tic record. With these talents go a vivacious and sparkling person- ality. Although Mike Akin often ap- pears lighthearted and gay, his interest in current events and phi- losophy has made him a leader at Gadsden High. Mike also has proved himself more than capable of this leadership. When anything needs to be accomplished, Aure- lia Glosser can be counted on to get the job done. As a hardworking and responsible student, Aurelia has earned many honors at Gadsden High. Constantly in high spirits John Davis is always ready with a joke. Because of this prevailing humor and his friendliness John is well known to the students at G.H.S. Senior Attractive Carol Burke possesses a sophisticated beauty that has made her a favorite among Gads- den High Students. However, not beauty alone has earned her this popularity. A warm personality is added to Carol's assets to endear her to the students. A familiar smile around G.H.S. is that of Michael Moore's. He usually manages to find the funny side of everything, and he can keep the students laughing. Jovial though he is, Michael becomes serious when the occasion de- mands. With her quick smile and witty personality Linda Cohn usually finds herself in the middle of things, making the worst situations turn into hilarious jokes. Possessing a keen perception and sincere person- ality, Linda remains a true friend of everyone. 'Tall, dark, and handsome —This phrase can be applied to a star athlete at Gadsden High, Kenny Rainey. Although devoting much of his time to athletic practice, Kenny still finds time to study enough to be an honor student. Happy Jackie Harbor helps to make the senior class a wonderful group. Being the class secretary, she works always for the best class ever. Also, the G.H.S. band could not have a better member or booster than Jackie. Court Hurst possesses many admirable traits which make him a very popular student council president. Court gaily greets everyone with his ever-ready smile and is always ready to help any- one in trouble. Hard-working Paula Siniard is always seen helping in the plan- ning of all worthwhile projects. She never complains and proves herself to be a friend and helper to all. Kirk Folio, who has been an able supporter of school projects stands out as a capable and re- spected leader of the students. Although an outstanding scholar, Kirk is never too busy to help. LEFT: An appealing asset to the band were majorettes Cathye Cole and Sally Inzer. RIGHT: Leading the bond in many successful performances was drum major Rodney Shamblin. The deeply devoted and untiring director of the band is Mr. Dewey Countryman. 1963 G.H.S. Band Entertaining at half-time at each football game was the Gadsden High School marching band. Each show furnished new and difficult formations that had been practiced many times by the band. At the end of the football season the concert band begins practicing for district and state con- tests and the spring concert. Each member puts many hard hours of work and effort into the G. H. S. band and is re- warded by forming an excellent and very success- ful band. This year's T.gerettes were Bobbie Ann Wren, Phyllis Lisenba, Sharon Payne, Brenda Packer, Jennie Lou Campbell, Janis Blackwood, Scarlett McDaniel, and Kendall Traylor. The band bows in front of the reviewing stand at Governor Wallace's The G. H. S. concert band gave an excellent performance at the 1963 concert. inaugural parade. Tiger Marching Band Band managers.

The Velvetone wait for the results of the judging while attending State Contests. Velvetones Top in State The Velvetone Choir under the direction of Mr. Edsel Hand celebrated its tenth anniversary. The choir was organized in 1953 by Mr. Hand. Since their establishment they have received local and state-wide acclaim. This year the Velvetone Choir again rated super- ior at the district music contest and surpassed its past record at the State level by rating superior plus, the best rating in the state. Membership in the Velvetone Choir is the highest honor that can be attained by a voice student at Gadsden High School. Linda Cohn, Melanie Alford, Mary Ann Pound , Pam Culver, Carol The Velvetone Choir sang at the induction with Steve Mean accom- Burke, and Donna Whittle entertain at the Spring Concert accom- ponying on the drums, panied by Michael Moore. The Triad choir received a superior rating at the district contest held in Anniston. 1963 Triad Choir The Triads is an advanced girls' choir organized in 1955 by Mr. Edsel Hand. The choir participates each year in the district and state festivals. This ensemble entertains for many school, church, and civic groups. To become a member of this choir, one must have a desire to sing, a Christian character, and a high scholastic average. last-minute practice before leaving for state contests. [ 155 ] Mr. Edsel Hand is the director of the Triad and Velvetone choirs. You Can't Take It With You, a three-act comedy by Mots Hart and George S. Kaufman is one of the most successful and popular plays of the modern times. This play was staged by the National Thespian Society, Troup 607, on February 21 and 22. All dramatic classes participated in its production and its suc- cess was due to the devotion and dependability of everyone involved, however large or small his job. Can’t Take It The curtain rose on the first act to disclose the home of Martin Vanderhof. In this rather curious setting the rest of the action takes place. High school students assumed the manne, of professional actors and swapped lines to the delight and appreciation of the audience. Without a stumble or mishap the curtain closed on a successful production with much credit due Mrs. Gerre Price, the dramatics instructor. Carol Cecilia strive to woke op Sandra Hendrickson as Randy Robertson, Charlie Hart, and Phillip Oliver look on. Actors Bobby Sisson and Randy Robertson double as prop men. Rumors were circulated that Jimmy Ann Guest worked for days on this dance step. Carol Headrick looks on doubtfully. John Speaks and Carol Headrick, student directors, tell John Roberts that he is painting on the wrong side. Members of the prop committee can't seem to agree on the color of the backdrop. Mrs. Price appears worried at the last minute, because Jimmy Myrick's hat doesn't fit. to non mf | I 1 ■ W fitt lftf h I Pfrun V aled Mary A 0 v; f 4 t :$atu tato Aurelia Glosser Girls' State and Boys' State prepare young people for leadership in their communities, their state, and their nation. The training the delegates receive give them an insight into the workings of government. Girls' State and Boys' State are sponsored by the American Legion and the Women's Auxiliary. Girls' State is held at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Boys' State at the University of Alabama. Delegates are jun- iors chosen by popular vote by the Junior Class. The delegates are participants in actual governments, which are set up using the different forms of city govern- ment as city manager and mayor-council. The Repre- sentatives elect the regular state and county officials. The ultimate goal of the delegates is to have the best city. Punctuality, co-operation, participation, and a speech by a delegate from each county constitute the grading system used to determine the best city. Girls' State and Boys' State are of great advantage to the State of Alabama. They prepare future citizens for the responsibilities of government. Delegates to Boys' Stote were Tommy Franklin, Charles Robinette, and Bruce Nichols. Girls’ State and Boys’ State Delegates to Girls' State were Edwina Parnell, lane Chambers, and Gloria Wells.

J Graduation iirinmm Class The Clast of 1963 marches in for Honor Assembly. Mrs. Leath Concludes Generation of Teaching With 1963 Graduation Class of ’63 As the Class of 1963 entered Gadsden High School we soon realized how busy our school life would be. Our prize winning blue devil was a sight to behold. We worked very diligently on our float entitled Man Those Poets are a Drag. Our abil- ity as performers was readily proven when Memories appeared as our first talent show. Pam Culver was chosen to represent our class as beauty in the Coronation Ball. We cheered Pam on as she was crowned Queen of Gadsden High. Our Junior year finally came around to find us something other than lonely and confused sophomores. Mix 'Em Up Tigers, our homecoming float, was truly beautiful until we took it out; and it was completely dissolved by the rain. Jo Ann Spurgon was our Junior beauty and looked extremely beautiful as she waltzed through the Coronation Ball. That Junior-Senior picnic! What a chore! It was fun even if we did go swimming quite unexpectedly. Well, here we are big Seniors at last. With a high rate of enthusiasm we began our last year. Our float entitled Freeze 'Em Tigers was a true work of art, and hard labor. Donna Whittle reigned radiantly as Homecoming Queen. Not to be outdone by any previous classes, we also set a new magazine record by exceeding our goal of $16,000. Our final talent show Quiet Please! was a highly polished display of talent. Pam Culver again represented the class in our final Coro- nation Ball. Court Hurst, president of the Student Council, reigned as King. Being upper classmen, the Seniors were honored with a picnic given by the Juniors. As a final fling, the Seniors gathered with excitement at the Reich Hotel for the Senior banquet and dance. A silver centerpiece was presented to each of our de- serving class sponsors, Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Walker, and Mrs. Watford. Many seniors received honors in the Honor As- sembly. At this assembly a present was given to Mr. Dobbs. On Graduation Night the Senior Class of 1963 very proudly marched down the aisle of Murphree Stadium. All heads were held high because we realized we were graduating from the best school on earth—Gadsden High School. When Ida Belle Ray Leath checks in the last cap and gown worn by her senior homeroom on graduation night, she will have completed the last of her duties as head of the biology department for an entire generation at Gadsden High School. It will be retirement from 35 years of teaching. But she will continue writing poetry, as she has done for years; active church work; and her enjoyment of chess and scrabble with her husband. A well educated woman, Mrs. Leath passed the state board examination for a teacher's certification at 15. While still in her teens she taught and studied at the Baptist Academy in Gaylesville. Later she attended Jud- son College and received her A.B. degree at Shorter College. Mrs. Leath considers biology a difficult subject; and her pupils concur; but no pupil who has passed her course has ever failed college biology. By helping to organize the Junior Academy of Science, she helped to further the interest of her students in this field. Because she was always willing to help a slow student or prod an advanced one on to further knowledge, because her home has always been and will continue to be open to all her pupils,- because she is such a won- derful person and an asset to Gadsden High School, no one will ever able to forget the imprint her life work has made on Gadsden High School. Mr� . Leath congratulates honor winner , David Whitt, Court Hunt, and Rodney Shamblin. Honor Assembly On May 23, the annual Honor Assembly was held. The assembly began with a processional of seniors in graduation attire. Mr. Dobbs presented awards to deserving members of the senior class. I DARE YOU books were presented to Vicki Pope and Barry Cox. David Whitt received the Frank Cottle Award. Court Hurst was awarded the Citizenship Award. Mary Ann Pounds received a certificate from the DAR for outstanding citizenship. Seniors who had the required amount of honor points received honor certificates. The English, Commercial, and Arts Departments commended their outstanding students. Serie Mauldin was recognized as the top student in the Food Department of Homemaking. Mr. Dobbs presented the class of 1963 with the Class of the Year Award to conclude the program. Mr. Dobbs presents I Dare You books Class President Rodney Sham- to Vicki Pope ond Barry Cox. blin accepts the Class of the Year Award for the graduating class of 1963. Court Hurst, recipient of the Civitan Citizenship Award, is congratulated by Mr. Dobbs. The Frank Cottle Memorial Award is awarded to David Whitt. I iBl ■ iHi One of many persons to receive Merit Certificates for outstanding service in extracurricular activities is Susan Wilson, here being presented her certificate by Vicki Pope. The Harvard Book Award is given by Mr. Dobbs to a member of the Junior Class, John Andrews. £ 221 ] Mr. Dobbs accepts a $500 check to be used for a new stage curtain from Rodney Shomblin, President of the Senior Class. Emcee King Wiggins prepares to Class prophets, Susan Wilson and Charlie introduce the program. Hart, predict the fate of every class member. Senior Banquet and Dance The senior sextet sings the theme song, Shangri-La Paula Siniard recites the poem written for the senior class by Mrs. Leath. Gary Klotzman prepares to sing several numbers in his distinct style. Class sponsors admire silver centerpieces which they received. Faculty and students pay Mrs. Leath and Mr. Davis tribute for their years of service. The Class of 1963 joined together for their Senior banquet and dance on May 18, at the Reich Hotel. The exotic theme for the banquet was Shangri-La. Every detail was carried out by the chairman, Esta Meyers, to coincide with this theme. The winding road into the future symbolized that each graduate will make his own destiny and discover his own paradise, or Shan- gri La. I he program included the invocation, introduction of sen- ior class officers, and address by Dr. Denson Franklin of First Methodist Church, Birmingham. Emcee King Wiggins began the various activities which followed Dr. Franklin's speech. These activities included Class Prophecy by Susan Wilson and Charlie Hart, original class poem by the Valedictorian and Saluta- torian; musical entertainment by the senior sextet followed by Gary Klotzman; and Class History by Jackie Harbor. One of the most meaningful events was Paula Siniard's reading of a poem written for the senior class by Mrs. Ida Belle Lcath. Following the banquet, the seniors and their dates danced to the music of The Roomers in the beautifully decorated Reich Ballroom. Dr. Denson Franklin of First Methodist Senior class president, Rodney Church, Birmingham, addresses the seniors Shamblin, welcomes everyone pres- and guests. ®nt. Rodney Shamblin and Michael Moore presont Mr. Dobbs with a new suit from the senior class as a token of their appreciation. Jackie Harbor reads the Class History. Valedictorian, Mary Ann Pounds, and Salutatorian, Aurelia Glosser, recite their class poems. SM' The Class of 1963 is challenged to think for the future before receiving their diplomas. Graduation “To Think For the Future” To the class of 1963, graduation was the symbol of a beginning and an end. It marked the end of three years of high school life and the beginning of a new life, which each person would choose for himself. On this night with mixed emotions, we paused to think for the future. Many anticipated happily their plans for the following years. However, while looking toward the future, we were drawn to a fuller appreciation of the foundation for life we have attained while at Gadsden High School from the faculty, our parents, and friends. As we pass through this final door of G.H.S., we hope that we have been of service to our school and community by making true our claim that — We're the best there'll ever be! We're the Class of 63!
