Tokens of mourning and the most sincere condolences cannot express the sense of loss we sustained at the untimely passing of so rare a friend.

De- spite a valiant effort by the Dogs, a fantastic one hundred and sixty-five yards in penalty assessments proved too much of an obstacle to surmount as the visitors from Co- lumbus copped a slender victory, 14-10. | a] We Did it Once Well DOO if Again’ Completely outclassed by the region champions of Lanier, the scrappy Bulldogs fell before the Poets offensive Juggernaut by the humiliating margin of thirty-four points. The worst blanking a Mark Smith team has ever suffered, the results of the season’s contest should provide a goading spur for future encounters with the Orange and Green. Eddie Branch Jimmy Parks In the first game ever between the two schools, Mark Smith’s battling Bulldogs staged a come-from-behind coup to drop the Peter G.

Appling in the first high school contest ever held in the new Macon coliseum. Only three short months they gained the first region title ever captured by a Mark Smith squad as they downed the Lanier Poets, 79-71, in the finals of the Region 2AAA East Tournament. One of the most valuable aspects of this year’s Cagers was their great height and ability to domi- nate the boards. With three of the starters well over six feet tall, the Dogs were able to com- pletely stifle the offensive efforts of almost all competition.

In this book we have tried to recall and record some of the most outstanding occurrences of this year: a victorious homecoming, outstanding students, a ded- icated faculty, and many other of the minute and trivial details which have made 1969 what it was for each of us. The contribu- tions of the various staff members have been invaluable in reac hing the completion of this task. Billie’s constant search for names, Mrs Gurley’s frustrated directions, the hushed whispers of Cathy and Marcia in the corner, Scott’s shyness from the photographer, and Pete’s continual struggle to find just the right word are fond recol- lections shared by but a privileged few, but without them this an- nual would never have been possible To these people we would like to give our most heartfelt thanks for allowing us to share in the very special memories of hav ing worked together to bring this annual to you, the student body. Not only student effort, however, but the work and support of var- ious community businesses and social leaders were necessary to make this book a reality. To these people also we would like to ex- tend our utmost appreciation for their contributions throughout the year Last but not least we wish to acknowledge the help and assistance of the tireless faculty advisors: Mrs. Mary Mecks, Mrs. Jeanette Gurley, Mrs. Carole Seabrooke, and Mr. G. Lewis Wright With many pleasant memories of the past and fond hopes for all in facing what lies ahead, we remain Chuck and Rhonda
