J M Tate High School - Tahisco Yearbook (Gonzalez, FL)

Text from Pages 1 - 248 of the 1969 volume:

Gonzalez, Florida Unlike other living organisms, Tate becomes more youthful each year. Its modern building’s provide new equipment and a comfortable atmosphere in which to learn. Tate teachers learn as they teach. They learn from students, situations and front progress itself. The stu- dents depend on them to give them footing and bring out their potential; more over, the teachers accept their trust. Tate students are the ones who give the school its character. Their potential is great and in moments when they know where, when, and how to act, that potential turns into enthusiastic achievement. The TAHISCO is only a brief summary of 1968-69, a loose series of hints and clues to your memory. The eye of the camera has frozen split seconds out of one year of your life. This book must still have your inter- pretation; even though we can show you moments, we can’t tell you how you saw it. 4 '° L Oou.

Interact Sweetheart Time in Order to Develop Citizenship The Tate Interact Club, which is sponsored by the Cantonment Rotary, went about serving their school this year by planting azaleas, boxwoods and various types of trees on campus. In addition, Interact sympa- thized with the underclassmen by erecting some benches for them in the concession area. In order to carry the financial load of the organiza- tion, the Interact members were called upon to park cars at the Florida Little Major League Tournament, sell mums for homecoming week, and co-sponsor the Christmas dance with the Exchange Club. There were always plenty of opportunities for work and service, but never to the extent that fellowship and social functions could not be enjoyed. L-R: Front: Danny Harley. Gary Mullins.

This was done by volunteer work in the Sacred Heart Hospital. The club sold candy to get a P.A. system for the school, which was set up in the library. This was just one of the various services they preformed for the community. Working in the hospital is fun, but the girls had even more fun at the convention in Tallahassee. Quite a few of the girls attended and really gained a lot of knowl- edge to use for the betterment of everyone. 52 Sophomore Nurses The Sophomore Nurses, is an organization to help girls who are interested in learning medical skills. The group went to some classes to learn the techniques and then worked in Sacred Heart Hospital. This club is under the direction of Mrs. Jeffers, the sponsor. 1st row: Kay Harmon, Jane Boyd.

They think that the band goes into retirement after football season. Actually, this is only a small part of a busy year. The band is involved with playing at pep assemblies for the school. A large portion of the winter is spent preparing for district and state concert contests. Several individuals work earnestly for a “Superior” in solos. Also, groups of two, three, or four may play in an ensemble. Different projects are undertaken during the year to raise money. Miss Sidorfsky devotes all of her spare time to these activities. She is always concerned with the betterment of the band. Band Officers are First row: Phil Brown—Captain. Linda Huelsbeck—Librarian, June Pierce—Sec. Leader. Jean Bardin—Sec.

Each night they were offered a different form of entertainment, consisting of: teacher's performances, group contest, and beauty contest. Through hard work at camp the majorettes learned many new and exciting routines. Among some of the routines were Wendy'’, “Fever”, “Yummy, Yummy, Yummy” and “Goin’ Out of My Head”.

Below: Coach Brunson gives plan to backfield. Coach Don Brunson took over as head football coach at Tate this year. He had been an assistant coach up to this year when he was promoted after the resignation of Ralph Chaudron. At the first of the year, Tate had many injuries among key players and for that reason the Aggies had a rough start. Toward the middle of the season, ev- erything seemed to fall in place. Tate came out with three tough victories and the traditional win over archrivai and Northwest Florida Conference foe, Catholic. 81 Tate Finishes Third in N.W.F.C.

S. NEAL In the season opener, W. S. Neal, from Brcwton, Alabama came to Tate to collect a close 14-7 victory over the Aggies. Tate received the opening kickoff which started a series of plays ending when Tate quarterback, Ronnie Boyd, went over for the score. Boyd then made the extra point. Neal brought down an interception and ran the fifteen yards into the end zone for the touchdown. The score was made 7-7 after the extra point. The winning touchdown came for Neal with 5:44 remaining in the third quarter. The extra point was made good. That was the last score of the game, giving W. S. Neal the victory in a close one. Coach Don Brunson made his debut as head football coach. 84 ►v TALLAHASSEE RICKARDS The Aggies traveled to Tallahassee for a game with Rickards High School. On the first play after Tate kicked off, Rickards scored on a 63-yard bomb. From that point on Tate was in hot water. Other Rickards scores were from runs of 80, 1 and 49 yards, a pass interception of 20 yards. The final touchdown was awarded after a 6-yard dash into the end zone. The biggest Tate threat came on Randy Melton’s 80-yard kickoff return. Final score was 47-0. MILTON Milton High School was host to Tate in a North- west Florida Conference game. Tate was a 33 point underdog as judged in previous games with common opponents. The ball changed hands many times throughout the course of the game. Twice Milton came within the 5-yard line only to be stopped by the tough Aggie defense. The game will probably go down as the greatest defensive battle of the year. The game ended in a 0-0 deadlock. Football Brian Barnett Guard Junior Bobby Miller Guard Sophomore CRESTVIEW Crestview traveled to play the Aggies in a North- west Florida Conference Game. At the beginning of the game Tate was forced to punt. Crestview, taking ad- vantage of the situation, promptly went to work and scored on an 18-yard pass with 4:02 left in the first quarter. The extra point was good. Tate made several costly mistakes and Crestview capitalized on them. With 10:15 remaining in the third quarter, Crestview scored on another pass play. Crestview came out on top by a score of 13-0. Kenny Gunn Tackle Senior FOLEY Plagued by injuries, the Aggies were handed their fourth defeat in five starts. Tate traveled to Foley, Alabama to play Foley High School. Foley’s first score came with less than two minutes remaining in the first quarter on a 5-yard dive by the Foley full- back. The extra point attempt was good making the score 7-0. Close to the half, Foley scored on a pass into the end zone. Tate came close to scoring when Corky Gregg returned an interception to the Foley 15-yard line. The gun sounded ending the half before Tate was able to score. The Foley team was able to score two more times before the night was over. The final score was 26-0 in favor of Foley. 85 WALTON Tate continued its football season by traveling to DeFuniak Springs to play conference rival, Walton High School. The first quarter started with a Walton touchdown pass of 72-yards. Walton then scored on passes of 14, 66, 20, 18 and 35 yards and on runs of 9, 85 and 2 yards. Tate scored on runs of 2 and 98 yards and a 7-yard pass. The outcome of the game was Walton 60 and Tate 20. NICEVILLE Tate's homecoming game was played against Nice- ville.

The cagers carried twelve players this year and were not stimmied by lack of experience or depth. With start- ers like Danny Self, Clifford Lee, Randy Melton, Ron- nie Boyd and Danny Larson carrying out the job, the Aggies still had help from the bench from Donnie Zodum, Dale Gilmore, Jimmy Waters and Corky Gregg. Although the Aggies improved their record from last season, they were still stimmied in many ways. Weakening the cagers for a few games, Clifford Lee and Randy Melton were injured at the beginning of the season. They were also without Wayne Moore, Ronnie Johnson and Danny Joyner at the first half of the season because of eligibility. Adding to the prob- lems of injury and eligibility, the Aggies were handi- capped by height because of not having any players over six foot 2 inches and competing with teams hav- ing at least two six foot 4 inch players. Despite the many problems the Aggies had, the team was still well spirited and are looking for a better season next year.

(W. r TREES .. and Your Future Twenty years from today, will the career you choose continue to offer you growth and challenge? The pine seedling planted today will be a mature tree then, ready for making into paper and thousands of other products made from trees. Indeed, the South is secured by its fast growing forest and the industry it supports. No industry in this industrial nation has a more certain demand for its products than the forest industry, and you can be a part of it. Think of the paper business. Think of tree farming and forestry. Timber is a crop, perpetuated and conserved by skilled forestry practices. St. Regis, a leader in Southern industrialization and forest managemert, invites every ambitious youth to take a look at forestry as a profession, and the paper industry as a challenging career.
