These things represent growth in 19 6 0 at H. H. S. (Faculty FOREWORD DEDICATION For the high ideals of womanhood she has taught us; for the endless hours of loving work to make our banquets and parties so successful; and for an inspiring personal example of courage and integrity of character which she has set before us, we dedicate this yearbook, the Retrospect of 1960 to Mrs. Marie Flowers. £ JT oujgiri CURRICULUM Recording your voice on the topo recorder is one of the most fascinating experiences a student of speech can encounter. The results of this experiment can be most amusing but also most beneficial in the mastering of the art that plays a vital role in our American communication and conveying of democratic ideas. With the aid of an intorostcd teacher, students learn correct pronunciation, methods of common conversation, public speoking, and development of special talents by the correct knowledge of expressing themselves fluently. Earl Harmon, Ray Martin, and Sandra Nichols are illustrating procedures of using this new equipment in an actual demonstration. Keeping in step with modern times, our commercial deportment has trained many students for the difficult business world they will soon face. All of the necessary equipment is at the student's command for easier learning and enjoyment in work. The typing division is one of the most unique because of the illustrated up-to-date machines which enoble the participants to utilizo the most volued form of business education. Patsy Parsons, Jeanette Hendrix, and Judy Parker arc demonstrating the correct techniques for the best results on an electric typewriter. Foreign languages, such as French, Spanish, and Latin, are important factors concerning entrance and success in college. Records and many unusual tech-niques are used to aid tho students in their conquest of this form of communication. Languages serve a vital part in promoting the enrichment of all human beings. Lanette Crumpton, Johnny Davis, Sandrail Helms, and Doyle Brown illustrate the importance of adding some foreign language to tho regular subjects. CURRICULUM Choir ployi on important port in tho forming of a nloro dotiroblo portonolily at well at cultivating bettor voicet for tho ©ntomblc of which Hueytown High it moil proud.

Under the tupervition of tho guidance department, thit dott it taking one of the many national achievement teitt givon to all itudenti at Hueytown each year. Thit department it one of the newett and mott helpful in our tchool. With the attitt-anee of Mrt. Gilmore, Mrt. Bedingfield, and Mr. Sylvetter, valuable information it Icarnod to help each individual find hit own special ability. Aptitude tettt, tuggottiont for courte ttudy, kindnett, and underttanding of ftudent problem! are all part of thit tytlem. Through the doort of today go the many men and women who have benefited from tho export knowledge of the guidanco department. Mrt. Gilmore hat truly done her thare in helping find placet in life for all thote who look to tho future. In our modern Home Economici Department, itudentt are taught the ettentialt of home management, child caro, and family budgeting. To keep in tfep with progrett, up-to-date equipment it furnithed to provide for new tkillt. Branda Ayrct, Randy Higdon, and Rebecca Creagh are demonttrating the miracle of fabric preiervation with one of the many new appliancet added to thit conttantly expanding divition. CURRICULUM One of the newly odded deportment to Hueytown it the art division. The unusual atmosphere croated by Mrs. Nicodemus with her skillful arrangements of flowors, decorations, easels, sculpture, ond still life has lured many studonfs to pursue this fascinating subject. Wo are very proud, indeed, to hovo this interesting personality from one of our Northern sister states. Barbara Russell is a fine example of artistic ability which has captured many honors for her ond her fellow students. Self-sotisfaction, self-expression, ond giving of beauty to others, are the main objectives of this course. Mechanical drawing not only attracts science-minded boys but also girls interested in the art of drafting. This course forms the basic foundation for more advanced subjects in science and math in college. These students will probably becomo the future engineers of tomorrow taking active part in the space age. Wayne Satterwhite, Barbara Russell, Jan Towers, Joel Walsh, ond Lionel Holcomb make up only a fraction of the many interested students of mechanical drawing. With the aid of the oxport knowledge gained from the bookkeeping department, many students have stepped from high school into commorce with the confidence of a well-developed skill. The complete cycle of bookkeeping and accounting assures the student of what to oxpect from the complicated business world. All the most modern machines are at the students' disposal to obtain full understanding of the newest methods. Carolo McLendon, Barbara Creel, Mary Boockholdt, Virginia Mims, and Rebecca Osley are illustrating the procedures of office practice. CURRICULUM Proving the formula of the triangular prism it one of tho interesting experiments performed by the advanced math classes. The purpose of the many intricate demonstrations is to prove the worthwhile advantages of being able to contribute to modern-day math practices. Ronnie Mason and Ann Stewart are shown illustrating ono of the typical problems that confronts this trigonometry class. As the future of this nation will depend on tho youth of today, it is up to us to produce better qualified mathematicians. As typical of the biology classes. Miss McTyeire is demonstrating one of the phases of this interesting study. Tho student is taught the basic elements of applying his knowledge of plants and animals to daily life. Each benefits from his first-hand experiments with nature. By bringing in samples of new and unusual products of the outdoors, the attention is held; ond eoch one takes an active part in learning. Illustrated here is a type of plant life donated by the several dosses of science. In this way, students teach themselves os well as others. Because of the pressing importance of science in our world today, our school is striving to keep up with marching times; ond the results hove proved our efforts successful. One of the important aspects of tho required English class is the reading of varied ond cultural books obtained from the well-equipped library. To have a true understanding of whot real education means, a wido selection of the classics should be read. This is a relatively easy task because of the expert choice of the librarian. Miss Purcell, who makes it her enjoyablo duty to select books which are not only educational but interesting. In addition to reading, methods of study, the principles and mechanics of grammar, and ways of expression are taught. Social studies have been more interesting and valuable through the use of visual aids to assist students with the more difficult problems of history, democracy, and economics. As this subject is requirod and necessary to a more liberal education, this mode of communication is a welcome addition to a bettor understanding of current happenings. FACULTY ADMINISTRATION MR. CHARLES VINES. PRINCIPAL Mr. Vine hos served os principal of tho Hueytown High School four years. Though tho duties of o chief administrator of a large high school are many and the hours long, he finds the task most rewarding.

The relatively new GOPHER TALES Staff has made great strides in its short history of less than a year. Its chief purpose is, of course, the publication of the student newspaper, THE GOPHER TALES, including in it all news pertinent to student life and features about students and activities. Believing the axiom that reporters and the press are the custodians of trust, the staff spends a portion of its time learning basic rules and procedures of journalism, so that they might better perform their office. Knowing that experience and time bring advance and improvement, the staff confidently proceeds, looking to the time when THE GOPHER TALES will truly be the voice of ALL the students at H. H. S.

BEASLEY................................Sponsor LARRY MURPHREE......................Vice-President DON HARRELL..............................President ACTIVITY HIGHLIGHTS We ore very proud of our award-winning Luvenia Pugh. She won an English awaid for creative writing by entering an autobiography, a short story, and an essay. Although she is a senior this year, she entered the contest last year under the direction of Mrs. McKinney. This is a national contest sponsored by The National Council of Teachers of English. This award recommended her to all colleges in the nation for a scholarship and we all wish her the best of luck. Each year the Annual Staff sponsors a beauty contest to select the beauties for the feature section of the annual. This year Mary Margaret Waldrop, center, was chosen as Miss Retrospect . Her alternates were Carol Ruth DeVore and Peggy Horton. Judges for this contest are experts in this field, having been chosen from leading modeling schools and style shops around Birmingham. The judging is based on beauty, poise, and such general things as posture. Thirty-one girls were entered in the contest this year. They were all seniors and were sponsored by either a club or homeroom. College Day is very important at Hueytown. On this day representatives from the different colleges in our area are here to speak to the students about the advantages of their colleges. This day is sponsored by the Guidance Staff. Each student is given a choice of two colleges to attend, thus giving all students a chance to have a pretty complete knowledge of at least six colleges by their senior year. TRACK WRESTLING' In Step with Progress—In Sports. This year an extra coach was added to the staff making four instructors in boys' Physical Education. The most modern athletic equipment keeps the boys in the best physical condition. Great interest is being shown in track and wrestling as major sports. Baseball and basketball occupy a more prominent place in our athletic program. Football, as usual, demands most of the attention of our students, bringing glory and excitement to our high school. Our students realize the value of physical fitness in maintaining a high standard of health as well as education. Progress in this field is rewarding and satis-fying, both to the school and to the student.

Hueytown 33 — Minor 6 Hueytown's Golden Gophers began by clinching a great victory over the Minor High Tigers. Reliable Mason, along with newcomers Pirkle, Bridges, Davis, and Herron, led the Gophers to the win.

Hayes, Lindsey, and Richardson were outstanding in the line. Hueytown 13 — McAdory 0 Hueytown was faced with the hardest game of the young season against the stubborn McAdory team.

The Gophers refused to believe they were beaten and by an extreme effort tied the score at the half. They came back after the half-time ceremonies to win 39 to 12, thus concluding a thrilling example of Gopher spirit. Mason got off the longest run of the season with a dash of 88 yards. Hueytown 12 —Jones Valley 12 The first tie of the year sprang from the battle of the Hueytown Gophers against a fired-up Jones Valley. The Gophers got the ball rolling when Mason demonstrated one of his famous long runs, this one consisting of 64 hard-fought yards. The Brownies came back with a long drive to score.

This was the first loss of the season for the Gophers, who had won five consecutive games. Hueytown 0 — Tarrant 20 Hueytown played good ball except for a few plays which proved costly. Three passes scored the Tarrant touchdowns and the Gophers lost their second in a row. The Gophers couldn't manage to get their offensive clicking. The standouts were McMahon, Dabbs, and Vines. Hueytown 0 — Bessemer 3 Hueytown and Bessemer played to a 0-0 score at half. Defensively the first half it was Vines, McMahon, Dabbs, and Herron.

At the end of the ball game, Bessemer tried four times to score from the one, but Hueytown's defense clicked again with Vines, McMahon, Mason and Pirkle. 17 ] COACHES AND HONORS In all sports activities, one of the most important forces behind a successful team is a good coach. At Hueytown we are fortunate to have well-trained men who are interested in our boys and who arc willing to help them. The trust placed in our boys by the coaches encourages them to do their best at all times and to be a good sport in all situations. From loft to right are Coaches Chester Skates, Melvin Vinos, and Billy Moore. MOST VALUABLE PLAYER Ronny Mason was Hueytown's chief runner and yard gainer. He was the only regular for the past two years. Truly, he is Hueytown's most valuable player. One of the greatest honors that can come to a football player is to be elected captain. This is because of the faith and trust put in him by the other players. The 1959 co-captains ore from left to right: Larry Pirkle, Jerry Carden, and Mac Parsons.
