86 Tiger Expands To 376 Pages For the third straight year, the “‘Tiger’’ has been awarded first place in the American Scholastic Press Association’s nation- al yearbook competition. Headed for the second year by editor-in-chief Marsha Wil- liams, the publication received high marks in content presenta- tion, general page design, publication structure, and general photography (perfect score). The 1986 “Tiger” honors coach Eddie Robinson and the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Theme for the book is ‘‘Fulfillment of Dreams.” A special 14-page section follows coach Robinson on his his- toric crusade for ‘“‘No. 324.’’ Also, for the first time, Gramblinites have an index in their book.
