Spotlight On Involvement The student body of Tate became involved in many of the school programs this year. The guidance department, under the direction of Mrs. Walker, set up College Day.” This day allowed students to go from room to room to visit representatives from over sixty colleges and univer- sities. The school also offered an exchange program with Brazil. This program, under the supervision of Miss Hack- enburg, gave five Brazilian students a chance to come to our campus the second semester and graduate from Tate. In October, Mrs. Jo Hill planned a dedication ser- vice for the memorial dedicated in memory of Tate stu- dents who gave their lives for the defense of their country by the Ensley Lion's Club. The public was invited to the dedication and several community leaders were keynote speakers. With the help of Mr. Rigby and Miss Carol God- win, the drama team perfected several skits and presented them to the student bodies of Woodham, Escambia, and Tate. Some of the skits were “Charlie Brown”, “Poker Flatts”, and Poems of Rod McKuen . Tate was asked again to attend the area High School Bowl sponsored by W.A.L.A. After carefully se- lecting a four member team. Miss Miller and Mrs. Walker reviewed the students for the game. The team won their first game against Theodore High of Mobile, but was defeated by Ernest Ward on their return the following week.
