Primary 7'fane % Ho l oyaC 7o .ecvututy We, the annual staff and the Senior Class of 1950, wish to express to the student body, faculty, and community, our appreciation for their co-operation in helping make our annual a success. The theme of our annual is the “Half-Century of Progress , and we have attempted to depict the pro- gress our school has made in the first half of the Twentieth Century. We hope that this annual will add vividness to our fond memories of THS. 3 'DecUcatitot “To follow knowledge, like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.' The poet's dream of yearning desire is now a reality. Progress is a fact. Although much of this progress if mechanical, increasingly civilization is taking into itself those practices and those ideals that make for elevation of spirit in the half century of progress now closing. Free public schools are giving childhood and youth a chance to develop nor- mally and cheerfully into manhood and womanhood with an equipment of training and mental and physical health that will afford them the best possible chance for success and happiness. There is no finer re- ward for hard work and an ambitious spirit than to know with assurance that the efforts of humanity are leading in the direction of progress. In this unceasing spirit of a half century of progress, we dedicate this annual to Mrs. Elizabeth Marie Krebs, owner of Grand View Gardens, who has con- tributed so lavishly to the progress of Tate School for the past quarter of a century. She has rendered unselfish, consistent service to Tate for many years by giving flowers to the graduating classes, decorating for Commencements, and contributing the use of her lovely home and beautiful grounds on many occasions. 5 Annie Laurie Hardy, Lois Roberts, Gladys Roberts, Vida Roberts, Clara Mae Hardy We have every reason to be proud of our public schools. The United States has more students attend- ing secondary schools than all the remainder of the world put to-gether. If we are to make Democracy work and enjoy the freedom of a great country we must have good public schools. A government that is based on the will of the people must have the citizens educated enough for them to understand public issues and play their part as citizens. The Little Red School House that played an impor- tant role in the early Twentieth Century has gone and in the year Nineteen Hundred and Fifty we have broadened our understanding of what the term “edu- cation means. Education is a continuous process of mental develop- ment and adjustment that is going on during one’s life. Education cannot be limited to specific areas of sub- ject matter, but must be inclusive of all those fields of knowledge which relate to the personal and vocational lives of everyone. 6 First Graduate Recalls Tate's Beginning First graduation from new school in June 1917. Classes began in new building in Spring of 1917. One graduate---Annie Laurie Hardy Jennings. All four of her children attended new school. Margaret and Bill graduated from Tate. 7 High School and Junior High School Let us sing a song to Tate High Of tfie years gone by-- When we were in halls and classrooms, Under Campus shades-- Facuity, Classmates, Friends so true, Mem'ries ever dear, We ll revere your name forever Praise you far and near. We depart for regions newer. Rising out of view— Always in our hearts forever Reigns our love for you-- Colors waving, hearts so true. Our eyes fixed anew, Our ideals we’ll cherish ever Alma Mater, You. 9 JIM ALLEN SCHOOL PR D BRESS, in the sense of acquisition, is something; but progress in the sense of being is a great deal more. To grow higher, deeper, wider, as the years go on; to conquer difficulties, and acquire more and more power; to feel all one's faculties unfolding, and truth descending into the soul - this makes life worth living. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 10 acuity 11 Tttewaye fruMt tfe ‘Pvttttifial The first unit of J. M. Tate School was built in 1917. The building consisted of eight class rooms, office, library and four service rooms. This building was the first brick school structure outside of Pensacola. Prof. J. M. Tate lived to see it erected and named for him. In 1926 a bond issue was floated. With this money an annex of four rooms and the auditorium was constructed. The present gymnasium was erected in 1929 - a building much needed for our basketball games. During vacation the school buses of the county were stored in this building. The next addition on the campus was the dairy. The dairy grew from the small beginning of three cows to a forty cow dairy. As the enrollment of Tate increased more room was needed. During the W. P. A. days four rooms were added - library, study hall, and two class rooms. During the summer of 1941 fifteen boys who had completed the eighth grade were summoned to build the agricultural shop. As renumeration each received a credit in manual training. The materials for the building were paid mostly from funds secured from the Federal Government. The cannery building was made possible from funds from Mr. J. H. Allen and the Florida Pulp and Paper Company. The county furnished the plumbing, wiring, and screens. In May 1948 the elementary school and faculty were delighted to move into the new elementary school, consisting of ten class rooms and eight service rooms. This building was financed by Tate bonds. The lighting of the buildings meet modern require- ments. The heating systems have been changed from coal to fuel oil burners. Our athletics and physical education are continually improving. Our football and basketball teams have received outstanding recognition in conference games. The equipment for the various departments: agri- culture, home economics, commercial, literary sub- jects, and library have been increased as the student body has grown. The enrollment of the school has increased gradually each year; and, at present, it has reached the 1000 mark, with 81 seniors. The faculty of thirty eight teachers is composed of well trained men and women - many of them holding two degrees and having had many years of successful experience. One of the best parts of our school is the increased opportunities for music. In the year 1949-1950 more than one hundred students have elected glee club. Our band has grown to forty seven members. The parents, student body, and faculty swell with pride when they see in the various school activities the crimson and grey on parade. 12 O. A. STRANGE, Principal A. B. Emory University M. A.

But there’s one class of T.H.S. Of whom my song and story rings. First we numbered ‘xactly six. The year we started in at school. Six tiny tots we were Who never broke a single rule. Alex, Frances, Gwenith, and Helen Holman, With Dottie Malone and Ray, Started out with Miss Kate’s help Their education to essay. In the second grade none joined our ranks, And we've only ourselves to thank. In third grade Jane came along with us With Evaline and her impish pranks. In the difficult fourth, still smarter we grew, Choosing Paula Mae and Anise, With Lorena and Ben to travel with us Before the year should cease. In the fifth grade we became athletic. Snatching Lamar and Henry P. Knowing right well they would grow tall And shoot the goals to a T. In the sixth grade we soon learned to go along In the mysteries of English and Math, No new students joined us then And we all gave the teacher the gaff. In our seventh year we were right lucky; Six new faces greeted our gaze; Alice and Babs with Joan and Gloria, Edward and Donald--all entered the maze. Our eighth year was so very hard With all the lessons we had. But Daisy threw in her lot with us And that made us all very glad. The ninth year soon rolled into view With two dozen and one new faces; Myra Jean and Jeannie with Elian and Edith Were among those who found their places. •Sr 32 Then, too, we had Dickie and Myra Lee, Helen Holden and David, Frances and Leroy, Tillie, Phyllis, Ronald and Don Smith, Eloise and Joyce, Lucille and Peggy Kept school from being a myth. Our numbers kept climbing year by year And as sophomores we were the stuff; Bill, Reid, Eva, Ferrell and Betty H. Wanda and Robbie--that was enough. How joyfully we entered our junior year For the end would soon be in view; Mary Frances and Merwyn, Ralph and Myrtle Increased our numbers, it is true. Carolyn, Fillmore, Harold and Anthony, Martin, Clarence and Billy McCann, Annie, Barbara, Virginia and Florse Were some who joined our clan. Beverly, Harold, Catherine and James, Ilene, Glennie Ruth, and Bobbie June White, With Betty Yerg and Frances S. Helped make the picture a pretty sight. Our senior year —can it be true? James and Winnie with W. J. Cast in their lot with the senior class And made it merrier, we say. Our number’s counted. Our story’s told, We’re eighty graduates brave and bold; Farewell to faculty and every friend. Farewell to Tate--school days must end. Velma Jean, Erlene and Bill J. Ethel and Dot, Jean and James, And those were not all that day.

PROGRESS - Our business in life is not to get ahead of other people, but to get ahead of ourselves. To break our own record, to outstrip our yesterdays by todays, to bear our trials more beautifully than we ever dreamed we could, to whip the tempter inside and out as we never whipped him before, to give as we never have given, to do our work with more force and a finer finish than ever, - this is the true ideal - to get ahead of ourselves. To beat some one else in a game, or to be beaten, may mean much or little. Whether we win or not, we are playing better than we ever did before, and that’s the point after all - to play a better game of life.

Mr. Pinkard is nei here, and we take great pleasure in welcoming him to the faculty. Miss Arnold has been the sponsor for some years. The junior class has a number of brilliant students who belong to the Beta Club; in fact, we hav� twenty-six juniors who are active members in this club. Although the lack of space does not perm; us to recognize each of them individually, we congratulate them on their achievements. The junior class has many athletes. We have eleven junior boys who have lettered in football anc basketball. We are proud of these boys and doubly proud of their fine sportsmanship. But, let's nc forget the girls. We have three cheerleaders who are juniors and believe me they can yell! The girls also have a basketball team, but as yet it hasn't received much recognition. We have many song birds in our class. Twenty-two of our boys and girls belong to the glee club We also have seven juniors who are members of the band. We have fifteen juniors who are very interested in science and are members of the Future Farmer: of America. Martin Hinote and Franklin Thompson are the original members of the class who entered Tate whe: they were in the first grade. Don Brown made his appearance the following year. Forty-two freshme: joined our ranks, and twenty-six others entered during the junior year.

Planning each arch with patience; Laying each stone with prayer. None praised her unceasing efforts None knew of her wonderous plan, For the temple the teacher builded Was unseen by the eyes of man. Gone is the builder’s temple, Crumbled into the dust. Low lies each stately pillow, Food for consuming rust. But the temple the teacher builded Will last while the ages roll, For that beautiful unseen temple Is the child’s immortal soul. Anonymous----- Contributed by Mr. O. A. Strange.

The club was founded in 1933 in South Carolina, and in August 1936 it was chartered in the same state as a non profit club. The Beta Club was founded to stimulate effort, reward achievement, and to encourage and assist its members to continue their education after high school graduation. The qualifications for individual membership in the National Beta Club are (a) good mentality and character, (b) creditable achievement, and (c) commendable attitude. Pro- spective members must be approved by the head of the local high school. The Beta Club in our own school has been organized for about nine years, during which time the club has been represented at the State conventions nearly every year. Our Club won the trophy for the best one act play at the State Convention in 1947. The Beta Club takes an active part in school activities and has always been a club re- cognized for its high standards. For two years N liss Jo Street has been sponsor, and the Club has a fine organization with a membership of sixty five. 88 7ate Sanet •‘The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concords of sweet sounds, Is fit for reasons, strategems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night.

The Chapter has functioned continuously since that date and has made steady growth. There were twenty members when the Chapter was organized. To-day the Chapter las 126 members - the largest membership in the State. In June 1930, Brooks Taylor became the ifirst member to receive the Florida Planter Degree and was elected Vice-President of the State Association. Mr. T. L. Barrineau was the first agriculture teacher and Chapter advisor at Tate. He is now Dis- trict Supervisor of Vocational Agriculture with the State Department of Education. Tate had the best chapter, string band, parlimentary precedure and judging teams, and was honored |«ith having a former Chapter President, Billy Johnson, elected President of the Florida Association |in 1936. Billy received the American Farmer Degree, the highest honor a FFA boy can win. ThisFFA Chapter has one major project, each year. The following come in consecutive years be- Ijinningwith 1940 and ending with 1945: Built dairy barn, bought new tractor, built agriculture work- shop, classroom, canning plant, and built modern hog lot equipment. | In 1946 the Tate FFA livestock judging team won the State Livestock Judging Contest. Tate has sent a judging team to the State Fair each year since 1929. During the years 1948-49, the Chapter purchased a new truck, and the County bought a new tractor for the Department. I The National Convention decided to have a National FFA Chorus in 1948. Three boys were permitted I to go from Florida. The first year Bobby Drummond represented Tate, in 1949 one of the officers of the Tate FFA Chapter, Merwyn Barrineau, was selected as one of the National Chorus members to represent Florida. The Chapter has sent delegates to the state FFA convention each year since 1929, and at least one of the Chapter members has received the State Planters Degree each year. L. C. Vaughn, Chapter President of 1948-49, was elected President of the Florida FFA Association, jt the State Convention held at Daytona Beach, 1949. At this convention L. C. Vaughn and Herbert Foster received the State Planters Degree. Tate had over 2000 chickens in 1949 and is planning to have the same number in 1950. The Chapter ias had two large laying flocks one in 1935 and the other in 1945. These flocks consisted of about 500 laying hens each. Since 1929 the Chapter has farmed from 12 to 20 acres. The Chapter also has a 23 acre forest vhich was started in 1929. In 1950 Tate sent Anthony Fillingim, Merwyn Barrineau and Joe Irwin to the State Fair to judge livestock.

Elec- trons had been identified; inoculation against typhoid discovered. A wonderful period. Marvels, people said, but, automobile speed was limited --to four miles an hour in many towns. Man could expect to live but forty-eight years. The first year of the century gave the submarine. The following twenty years gave much: In 1901, Marconi flashed the first wireless signal across the Atlantic; high-speed steel was developed. The Wrights made their first successful flight and Ford his first automobile. The hydro-airplane, vessels equipped with wireless, tungsten filaments, the military tank, the first air mail route, the radio tele- phone, miles of hard surface roads also came within these years. The outstanding biological accom- plishment was the curing of goiter with iodine. During decade 1920 to 1930 the transcontinental air mail route was opened; Lindberg made his non- stop flight of 3,610 miles; both the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans were crossed by planes; Richard Byrd and Floyd Bennett, in 1925, reached the North Pole and Byrd the South Pole by airplane; and the German liner Bremen crossed the Atlantic in less than five days. Other advancements were: cables spanning the Atlantic; Bell Telephone Laboratories invention in 1925 of the process of sending photo- graphs by telegraph or telephone; inauguration of regular Trans-Atlantic radio-telephone service. In this decade, 1923, King Tutankhamen was presented, and the world's longest underground tube, sixteen and one half miles long, running from north to south London, was completed. Insulin, a re- lief for diabetics, was found. Achievements made during 1930 to 1950 were fast. A few are: Alnico, Alnico V. and Curie metal, making possible efficient photographs, microphones, thermostats and other instruments; sound movies; chromatic and “trick photographic films; speed cameras; sodium-vacuum lights for highways; “daylight lighting in homes; range finder ; the periscope; the polaroid; the telescope of Palemar; mixed color printing. Speed and distance are increasing: Supersonic aircraft; the multi-band superheterodyne receiver; radar; the electron microscope magnifying 25,000 times and that in turn magnified to 100,000 times; the atom and Hydrogen bombs. Drugs, plastics, insecticides, hormones have added t man’s comfort and pleasure. Health has gained because of what the doctor, dentist, engineer, farmer, and individual have learned. Greatest of all is the extension of man's life span, — to about 70 years. What marvels are in store for the future. A promise of much: Beauty, Joy, Progress. A HALF-CENTURY OF PROGRESS 98 Mm.

In this way we attempted jo appeal to every girl and to develop them better, both mentally and physically. Softball was our first activity last fall, followed by kickball and volleyball. Since the construction of )ur new added playground many more students have been able to participate--thus, improving all classes. The second semester we participated in calisthenics, basketball, square dancing, speedball, other organized games and an intramural sports' program. Classes in health instruction were included in our “four weather schedule, which covered mental tnd personal hygiene, body mechanics, safety and first aid.

REGIS Ml CANTONMENT, FLOR In considering the half-century of progress, we have to take into account our deep gra- titude to the boys, men, and women who defended us in both World Wars I and II, so many of whom made the supreme sacrifice. When we consider the advance in scientific methods of warfare, it is a great tribute to the human spirit that it can rise to meet these issues in such a wonderful way. However dark the hour may seem, we still feel that under God the American people will rise to meet any weapon that is formed against us in that same spirit of faith and courage. These two World Wars and all that is entailed in them mark the God-given human spirit rising to emergencies as a tremendous mark of progress, however sad this has been to the brave homes that parted their own. “The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done; From fearful trip the vistor ship comes in with object won:” — WALT WHITMAN 127 rffiftneccati As another year passes from reality into memories and as threads of another TAHISCO tie these memories into a bundle, as we leave our school and go into future progress, we would like to express our sincere apprecia- tion to some of the people whose help made the finishing binds possible. To our three sponsors for their patient consideration; to Mr. O. A. Strange, Mr. R. C. Lipscomb, and Mr. “Steve” England for their advice and interest; to Mr. Frederickson, whose photography was excellent, whose service prompt and patience unexcelled; to Mr. Foote of the Pensacola Engraving Company Incorporated; to our efficient and co-operative staff; to our friends for their patience at all times; to each student whose antici- pation and eagerness made the work a pleasure; and to the County Educational Department for giving us our be- loved Alma Mater.
