LA RESUME — 75 Headland, Alabama Headland High School Volume 23 9ummer's Warmth We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun The sensation of freedom arose in all of us - sleeping till dinner - working for our own money, or at that sun tan - but most of all, searching for that one essential moment, that will fortify the Summer of ’74 in our memories forever. 4 5 Our days were becom- ing limited and H.H.S. loomed in the back of our minds. Then came the time for preparation - football - band, and cheerleader practice. The hope of one more trip to the beach kept us revolving in our worlds of tranquility - that were destined to soon be interrupted by routine. As Srs. we faced this time with mixed emotions - not as the end, but as the beginning of an ending. to. in search of u ifd roses. Sunlight and love. Autumn's Awareness ; . . The year stans home - Morning broke clear today. No fog . . . no rain . . . only a clear, cool, September morning. Autumn brought us excitement: football games, Miss Headland, those long school days - and would you believe - combination locks on our lockers? 8 Along with the excitement came, in a sense, a feeling of contentment. Old friendships were renewed, new ones flourished. The inevitable 7:50 bell even became a type of expectation. 9 And we, as students of H. H. S., once again set out to find ourselves in the world of turmoil, not so different as yesterday, or many years past. The hours of monotony etched across our minds not capable of paralleling with those of enjoyment . . . 10 And enjoy we did, the season brought us both hope and aspiration. We were convinced, only during times of utmost despair, that our wildest dreams would not soon become immediate realities. Strength can be found in soli- tude - the quiet moments, the sad moments, that needed to be shared. During the Autumn of '74 we encountered frustration, stag- nation, apathy, and defeat. But because of this we grew - all this and so much more - This was our Autumn '74! WINTER'S SERENITY Without the sun's pure passion or friendly autumn fashioning a need for us, we'll stay alone in winter. Winter says it all, for winter detaches itself first from autumn, then spring. Winter is the signpost for leaving. Winter says it all . . . The serenity of winter can't surpass the festivity of the holiday season . . . Merry Christmas . . . the enchantment of putting up a tree . . . celebrating . . . and expressing the true warmth of the season - by Giving Happy New Year . . . 1975 All the merriment of 1974 is now but a memory . . . to be cherished by some - forgotten by others - we stand on the threshold of a fresh beginning ... An opportunity to accomplish our own personal acclaim or contentment. A new awakening takes form in HHS - semester test . . . the basketball team striving once again to be No. 1 . . . freshman realizing What '’school is really like and the Seniors? 18 more weeks of . . . u Time becomes a predominant factor ... A year is finished, no one or anything can bring it back, no matter how intensely he tries . . . 1975 is here - What will we do? Today is the first day of the rest of our lives - Watergate is behind us - inflation in front- Everyone is talking about Depression? We feel lost undecided, and scared - Why can’t the serenity of winter surround the soul? WATERGATE? INFLATION? DEPRESSION? Moths fill up the morning and spiders slide down the shafts of sunlight. The wind now makes a long, slow moan, tired of all the old Decembers - weary of the ones ahead - The moan is more a sigh. 15 SPRING'S UNDERSTANDING 16 Spring Everytime we say hello to some new encounter we're on our way toward goodbye some distance from the actual phase but moving towards it all the same. The distance between those two words becomes a little less as we grow older be Aware then that tomorrow is only tomorrow there is nothing to fear except the coming of another day but two against a spring morning are sure to claim one more victory over chance and trouble. 17 Spring brought the dying of indifference, a type of renaissance. With this came a final spark of excitement: R.O.T.C. inspection, the Military Ball, ordering caps and gowns, band concerts, togetherness - whether being within an inch or innumerable miles - We're close enough to touch - baseball and track teams - bluejeans . . . bluejeans . . . bluejeans . . . and clogs, A. E. A.!!! 18 I know what's happening to us and I know why. I stand outside myself looking back in abject amazement. Everyone, trying to cram all they have lost, or left behind, expected - Needed or wanted into the final days - minutes. Spring has a unique significance, a particular type of understanding - to our emotions - the need to escape the bleakness of winter - and the need to venture into the hidden warmth of summer. The road ahead dissolves to dust. Where will it lead? Caught in the quiet Off on our own Coming together Staying alone. 19 THE ORGANIZERS 20 21 8.G.A.. PROMOTES INTEREST Pres. - Amy Burdeshaw, V. Pres. - Marcia Gulledge, Sec. - Martha Ellen Medley, Treas. - Nancy Brannon, Reporter - Margaret Walker. The goal of the 74-75 SGA was to promote interest in school affairs, among students. In working toward this goal, the SGA took buses to off ball- games, planned Homecoming festivities, built floats, spon- sored an assembly program, and worked in co-ordination with the principals. For money making projects they sold waste baskets, plus many more activities. HONOR SOCIETY FRENCH CLUB UlTRE NOU.i PEP CLUB REVIVES SPIRIT Pep Club helped the cheer- leaders in many activities during the 74-75. The Pep Club presented skits, made signs for the halls, and sup- plied the crown for the Home- coming Queen. The Pep Club really showed the football and basketball teams that they were with them all the way. So Let's Go Big Rams. 24 HELP THE UNDERPRIVILEGED Pres. - Marcia Gulledge, V. Pres. - Deborah Flemmings, Sec. - Sharon Snell, Treas. - Deborah Miller, Reporters - Vivian McDaniels and San- dra McGriff, Parliamentarian - Kay Watson. The YARC has been an organi- zation for more than 2 years at Headland High. Its function is to benefit the retarded children. Their activities included a road block, and other money making projects. The funds that they received were used for special times like Thanksgiving and Christmas to help needy fami- lies. 25 NJ.R.O.T.C 26 COMPANY OFFICERS COLOR GUARD 27 N8-3 B0Y8 N8-3 GIRLS 28 N8-2 BOYS NS-2 BOYS 29 NS-2 GIRLS DRILL TEAM 30 NS-1 BOYS NS-1 BOYS 31 N8-1 GIRLS IMS-1 GIRLS 32 R.O.T.C. IN ACTION 1975 supports the first graduat- ing class of girls in NJROTC. The unit was organized in 1971 with boys only. Girls were admitted in 1972, and the unit has grown from 11 to 180 cadets. The NJROTC unit has partici- pated in pregame ceremonies at football games with both a male and female drill team, marched in the Homecoming parade, pro- vided walk patrol at two danger- ous road crossings, and executes flag raising at the school each day. To lift Homecoming spir- its, the female cadets played a powder puff football game. These girls were cheered by male cheerleaders cleverly dis- guised as girls. The highlight of the year was the military ball. Funds provided for the ball were raised by raffling a $100 bill plus a NJROTC dance. All members of ROTC and their dates were invited to attend this ball. Here, they were allowed to drop their military conduct-and Party. The unit participated in the annual drill meet at Pensacola, Florida. Other trips for the year included Cape Kennedy, Flo- rida , and Charleston, S. Caro- lina. 33 RAMBLER STAFF The Rambler Staff of 1974-75 had one main goal - that of keeping its word. They promised to have at least one paper out each month, despite the obsta- cles which assuredly got in the way. Each member worked toward this goal giving it all they had, to insure its attainment. The first paper was put out October 4th with many of the people on the Rambler Staff breathing a sigh of relief, know- ing that the first and perhaps hardest milestone toward reach- ing this goal had been con- quered . TOMORROW'S LEADERSHIP FTA. • • Pres. - Marcia Gulledge, V. Pres. - Mary Phillips, Sec. - Treas. - Brenda Russ, Reporter - Sandra McGriff. The main objective throughout this year has been to guide students who had expressed a keen interest in the teaching profession. Guide them where? To a better understanding of what teaching is all about. How? By assisting teachers in various capacities, assuming the actual teacher responsibilities during FT A week, and attending a yearly con- vention . Because of their outstanding leadership qualities and other talents, the FTA selected Rusty Thompson and Kathy Spann this year as Mr. and Miss FTA. Members of FTA were chosen by the teachers and the FTA officers, due to their attitudes toward education and dispositions in class, along with extracurricular activities. 35 DISCOVER THROUGH FHA Pres. - Deborah Flemmings, V. Pres. - Margaret Walker, Sec. - Treas. - Laurie Oates, Reporter - Janet Brannon, Parliamentarian - Olivia Rey- nolds, Historian - Donna Hand, sponsor - Miss Preyer. The FHA this year contained its largest membership ever. Anyone taking Home Ec., now or in the past, had the opportunity to join FHA. One of the projects undertaken in 74-75 was the cookbook sales. The profit was used for further development in the Home Ec. Department. FHA continued the traditional election of dream-boys who were Russel McNealy and Charlie Evans. 36 LARGEST MEMBERSHIP EVER FBLA. • • Pres. - Marcia Gulledge, V. Pres. - Diane Gulledge, Sec. - Jane Hamm, Treas. - Mary Phillips, Parliamentarian - Kathy Spann, Reporters - Deborah Flemmings and Laurie Oates, Sponsor - Mrs. Whiddon. FBLA is dedicated to the development of business leadership. The club had 64 members this year, which was the largest membership since its organization. The main objective of FBLA is to create interest in business as a profession. To enable them to better understand this objective, the State FBLA President, Denise Holland, visited the chapter. A district meeting was held in Enterprise where the members participated in skill contests in typewrit- ing , accounting, and short- hand . The District Leader- ship Conference was held in Birmingham. 37 F.F.A.. . . INCREASES INTEREST IN AG. Headland High FFA is an extra-curricular activity tied directly to rounding individuals into mature adults. Its primary purpose is the development of leadership, cooperation, citizenship, thrift, patriot- ism , and scholarship. Among other things, members learned through direct active partici- pation how to conduct and take part in a public meeting; to speak in public, to buy and sell cooperatively, to solve their own problems, and to finance themselves. Also members participated in a State Supported Hunter-Safety program. During Christmas and Thanksgiving, the chap- ter helped the needy. Students competed in several contests, such as public speaking, band, landjudging, and livestock judging. This year's activities were climaxed with a banquet and spring party. Spirit is the key to getting it together!! 38 KEY CLUB The Key Club is a division of the Kiwanis Club organized to perform certain civic duties for Headland such as roadblocks for the Sheriff's Boys Ranch. Pledges for the Key Club were nominated and voted upon by the members, and in order to be selected they must maintain at least a B average. Pres. - Steve Vinson. V. Pres. - Ricky Williams, Sec. - Anthony Bond, Treas. - Frank Ward, Reporter - Chuck Stroup, Sgt.-at-Arms - Rusty Thompson. 39 1 PICTURED WORTH 1,000 WORDS An does not reflect the envi- ronment but is an active compo- nent of the culture to which it belongs. The an students this year have learned to express their visual ideas through the basic elements of design. In perform- ance , these elements have been expressed through the various mediums of drawing, sketching design, paintings, and relief. Pres. - Tina Stephenson, V. Pres. - Lisa Whiddon, Sec. - Treas. - Shelley Davis, Reponer - Janet Brannon, Sponsor - Mrs. Sowell. 40 JOURNALIQM Journalism is more than a class, it is a select group of people with a willingness to work and an unsurpassable amount of enthusiasm. Through many heart breaks, agonizing days - weeks - months, a min- imum amount of money and a maximum amount of work . . . dead- lines . . . headaches . . . etc. the people in the 1974-75 Journalism class have a closeness no one can mistake. We've given the 1975 La Resume’ and Rambler more than we ever thought possible - and we did it for you - the student body. Now, as it has all come to a close, we face this period with sadness, relief and Hope! We hope that this yearbook will hold one special mem- ory for all of you and will help you to remember H.H.S. 1974-75. 41 43 Anticipation . . . Excitement. . .

This was just the beginning of a night filled with excitement and tension for thirteen girls compet- ing for the title of Miss Headland. Through many rehearsals and practices they were all brought closer together as they waited out the final moments. It was a night of many memories that will never be forgotten. 45 CAVALIERS Where would we be without the Blue Cavaliers? Under the direction of Laurie Oates, the H. H. S. Band performed diligently at each halftime, drumming up Spirit at both pep rallies and ballgames. Hours of practice were shown through the flawless performances of our dedicated majorettes and colorguard. 46 KEEP MOVIN' ON 4U 47 TIMES TO 48 REMEMBER 49 FOOTBALL BOTTOM ROW: M. Warren, P.

Though our record was a dismal one, it failed to show all the determination, the persever- ance , the dedication, and the loyalty the members showed to H. H. S. It was a year of great disappointments, for many times if one call had been different or if one ball had bounced in a dif- ferent direction, it would have meant the difference between defeat and victory.

Varsity Cheer- leaders led by Martha E. Med- ley , Captain and Sharon Snell Co-Captain created spirit throughout the year. This past cheering season created many memories that each cheerleader will long remember. 1974-75 Gretchen Guest, Sheila Shelley, Lesia Hollis Sharon Snell, Lisa Whiddon Nancy Brannon 55 Rams Celebrate Homecoming Day brought on a whole week of excitement. For four days the entire student body worked so hard in order to make that partic- ular day perfect. We found the football team sweating through practices, preparing themselves for one of the most important games. The cheerleaders planned activities for homecoming in order to bring about more spirit to everyone. Thursday night was the Snake Walk and the Bonfire pep rally, there the Queen was announced. Margaret Walker was crowned the 1974-75 Homecoming Queen. Homecoming finally came to an end with a big dance, where we con- tinued to show our spirit. 56 Homecoming 1974 57 Homecoming Continues Homecoming Day was really when the fun was! A powder puff football game was played with members of NJROTC I and II girls. They were cheered on by young men acting as cheerlead- ers . The Blue Dolphins defeated the Hells Angels with the score of 12-6. 58 With Fun and Activities 59 All This and So Much More 60 Jr. and B-team Basketball Coach - James Rhodes B-team: Jerry McKay, Elbert McGlown, Tyrone Brown, Willie Tullis, Freeman Culver, Johnny Bigghams, Micheal Spann, Ralph Beary, William Rhodes, Mark Anthony.

The 1974-75 Varsity Basketball team really was something to be proud of. They won the WAC Championship competition under the tremendous coaching of Steve Williams. It was a season of excitement and fun, a time for all to see that HHS once again could prove victorious and that our school's name was indeed something to respect. The members of the varsity team exhibited more than just skill on the court. They showed what yearning and determination could accomplish. 1975 63 The Rams lived the meaning of DEDICATION by forfeiting their spare hours to practice on the court; by going a little farther when they felt as if they had already used up their energy; and by lending a hand to show their fellow members the little known skills that will help them improve their game. Yes, indeed, we are proud of you!! 64 at K . «� 1 gwis 3hi Whip Ashford again Rams win Tourney OUTSTANDING-Amos Minniefield (top) and I ward Vickers (lower) wt named to receive the N Hustler Awards for t Headland Rams basketb team last week.

We are after all only human beings, held together by a bond of caring; we will make mistakes but we will learn from them and carry on toward our goal! 73 NJROTC Instructors: (from left to right) Chief Bill Bragan Commander Howard Vinson Chief William Merrit Albert Dubb” Butler - Custo- dian: Who is responsible for maintaining the buildings, does his job well and is liked and respected by the students. Lunchroom Staff: These ladies each day prepare nutritious and tasty meals for the hungry students of Headland High School. The lunchroom is run cleanly and efficiently and we wish to express our thanks to these hard- working ladies. 7A The La' Resume staff would like to express its thanks to Mrs. Ginger Morris (left) for her hard work and devotion as advisor for the yearbook. Though this has been her first year as advisor she has done a fine job as she has urged the staff on to the goal of having a fine yearbook for the students of Headland High School. It can truthfully be said that there have been few times this year that anyone could tell that this was only her first year and that she had to gain experi- ence as the year went on. Principals Provide Understanding Being unacquainted with a job always has its drawbacks, but watching Sherrill Singleton at work one would never be able to tell that this was his first year as acting principal of Headland High School. Clarence Peterman, this year, showed everyone that determina- tion can and does get the job done. His contributions as co- principal of Headland High School really helped the student body. Yes, we give, but in return we also gain. We learn that neither skill nor intelligence count the uppermost when it comes to dealing with human beings. 76 Office and Guidance Mrs. Hancock's understanding and diligence to her work had a calming effect on the student body amid the confusion of this past year and her willingness to help engraved her in the hearts of the students. Georgia Merritt's helping hand and guidance throughout the year was really appreciated and wel- comed . Without her, many of us wonder what we would have done. We have been appalled at the frankness with which the student body communicates itself and yet, later saw that it is this frankness that indi- vidualizes the body and without it, our mininstrations would be to no avail. We have grown to care and to love . . . 77 Valedictorian and Qalutatorian Anthony Bond was selected as Valedictorian from the 1975 Senior class. He was selected on the basis of his cumulative averages from the 9-12 grades, which was 92.5. Dianne Gulledge was selected as Salutatorian from the 1975 Senior class. She was also selected on the basis of her cumulative averages from the 9- 12 grades, which was 90.7. These honors are well deserved.

We intend to make our sen- ior year one of fulfillment, knowing that our goal has finally been reached. YESTERDAY Oh think how many, yesterdays have already passed away. And with them all the thoughts and plans thought of just today. One wonders if these wasted days can be reclaimed. Can we reach back in time and find those days to be the same? No, for tis impossible, history shall always remain.
