The students at Riverside were brought up-to-date on our nation’s space program. 5 mm But it seems that Mr. Powers and Mrs. Stevens have found other means of transportation Someone needs to tell Debbie Channell and David Comer that the ball game is over. Look, Ma! No cavities! 7 A group of Geometry students are shown decorating this Geome-tree. The Christmas Spirit was in the air during the holiday season. Here a group of students are shown as they decorate the large tree which stood in the lobby. Mrs. Allie Meis caught while getting her late order into Santa. The student body watches attentively as the senior class presents scenes from the Nativity. 8 Tommy Goff, Gary Reddix, Gilford Quinn, and Steve Tolley may be given an A for their efforts. 9 The library is used throughout the day for enjoyment as well as useful information. Mrs. Johnson, the school li¬ brarian, talks with Mr. Earl D. Vaughn, representative from The Quality School Plan. Miss Kathy Stevens, CO-ED corres¬ pondent, looks over magazines in the library. The five high salesmen of the magazine drive are shown admiring the fruits of their work. 10 ADMINISTRATION MRS. STEVENS Outgoing and hardworking are two words which are very descriptive of our prin¬ cipal, Mrs. Allie Mae Stevens. Her patience, un¬ derstanding, and willingness to serve the students have made her a well-loved principal. We, the students of Riverside, are grateful to you, Mrs. Stevens, for making this an excellent year. MR. POWERS As assistant principal, Mr. Powers has contributed much to the discipline at River¬ side. He is always busy and works hard to keep R. H.S. running smoothly. The stu¬ dents all agree that he has done a good job and is a great person. 12 MRS. DODD A new addition to the staff of Riverside is Mrs. Opal Dodd, teacher‘s-aide. Her duty is to assist the teachers and the principal. We are sure that Mrs. Stevens and the faculty are grateful for her help. JAN1S Mrs. Janis McPeak is one of our two very efficient sec¬ retaries. She is always ready to help with a smile and she adds a feeling of warmth to our office. NANCY Mrs. Nancy Byrd is our other efficient secretary. She does her work well and helps all of us when we need her. The office wouldn ' t be the same if she were gone. 13 MRS. HILDA WELCH MRS. MARY COLWICK MRS. ALICE REID MISS MARTHA DUKE MRS. ALLIE JOHNSON ENGLISH Riverside is fortunate in having a well-developed English depart¬ ment . Both French courses, French I and French II, are being offered this year. Several students are taking advantage of learning this foreign language. The Journalism department is re¬ sponsible for the newspaper and the yearbook. The students at Riverside are very proud of the library. It is well- organized and contains much in¬ teresting and resourceful reading material. MR. R. L. HANEY SOCIAL SCIENCE Ill this department we have two excellent instructors. We have courses offered in psychology, sociology, economics, World and American history. These courses are very valuable in helping the student devel¬ op a broad knowledge of the world around him. MATH Our math teachers, Mr. and Mrs. Evans, are two well-qualified and efficient mem¬ bers of the faculty. Also, they have a tre¬ mendous amount of school spirit. Every extra-curricular activity at Riverside will find them present. MRS. IRIS EVANS MR. HENRY EVANS 15 MISS BETTY GURLEY MISS CAROLYN WASHAM SCIENCE The Science Department at River¬ side has a well-developed science program.

Mr. Russell is a very skilled instructor in this field. MR. J. G. BRASHER MR. HENRY SANDERS MRS. PAULINE ORR Mr. Brasher is instructing the students in his Distributive Education class in the details of merchandising and retail selling. These students are allowed to practice these methods by working part of the day on jobs outside of school. Riverside’s Agriculture Department is help¬ ing boys learn to be better farmers for the modern world of tomorrow. Our very cap¬ able and skilled instructors are teaching their students the latest farming methods. HOME ECONOMICS Our Home Economics Department at River¬ side is one of which we can be proud. New equipment has been purchased to modern¬ ize the department. Our Home Economics instructors are responsible for the many improvements. MR. EVERETT McILLWAIN MRS. PAULINE PHELPS MRS. NANCY YARBRO MR. LEEBURN HARRIS BAND Mr. Harris, our band director, has done a great job this year. Proof of this is a perfect record in the six Christmas Parades that the band participated in. They collected six first-place trophies to add to Riverside’s collection. Riverside is happy to welcome a new faculty member Mr. J. D. Dodd, and a new course, chorus. Many students are taking this course. We feel that the chorus class will help many students in the field of music and bring alive a new interest at Riverside. MR. J. D. DODD 19 MR. HOUSTON BARRETT MR. SAMMY FISHER MR. FLOYD POWERS ATHLETICS In the Athletic Department at R. H. S. , we have three fine coaches. Coach Barrett coaches the boys’ varsity and junior varsity teams. Coach Fisher is the girls basketball coach. Coach Powers guides the football boys. These three men are always ready to help the students with any problem and are a real credit to R. H. S. M 20 LUNCHROOM PROGRAM Everyone seems to be well pleased with our new lunch program this year; at least not many students are bringing their lunches to school. For fifty cents you can buy two hamburgers and a coke, which should be enough for any¬ body. There is also the old faithful plate lunch with milk for thirty-nine cents. As you go through the lunch line, there are counters filled with candy, peanuts, and potato chips for you to choose. Mrs. Ruby Price, Mrs. Sarah Emmons, Mrs. Louise Patterson, supervisor; Mrs. Clara Barnett, and Mrs. Essie Mae Brasher. 21 BUS DRIVERS Here are the beloved men who carry R. H. S. students on the sometimes hap¬ py, sometimes hazardous journeys from their homes to their place of learning, Rieerside, and then back home again. They are surely the safest drivers and most patient men in the world. John Welch, Albert Kindle, Gardner West, R. L. Brasher, Clyde Yarbo, Clyde Yarbro, Jr., Ray Miller. CUSTODIANS MAINTENANCE What would Riverside look like without the care and ef¬ forts that Mr. J. B. Fisher and Mr. J. J. Douglas put into their work, it has surely been a big job this year and a job well done. Here we find Mr. Charlie Kindle going about his busy task of taking care of all the many complicated systems of Riverside. R. H. S. wouldn ' t be the same without him around to look after the building. ACTIVITIES I FRONT ROW: Barbara Wharton, Lanny Spud Taylor, Joe Davis, Larry Brasher, Patsy Renfroe.

Riverside High School ' s Singing Sons and Honeys is the newest addition to Riverside’s many activities. These new chorus classes are under the able direction of Mr. J. D. Dodd, pictured left as seen many times, playing the piano. Mr. Dodd is a graduate of the University of Tennessee, where he sang with the famous U. T. Singers. SPORTS Don Carrington tries to catch a pass against the rough North Side defense during the football Jam¬ boree. The boys made a good showing during this exhibition. This was only the start of a successful season. Look out reff! Here comes Jim Brasher. Here Jim is showing some of the ability that made him All-Con¬ ference End. This play went for good yardage. Jerry Conrad crashes through the line for a Riverside gain against a tough Lexington defense. Riverside won the game 12-7. This human tank got the yardage when we needed it. 50 PANTHERS OF ’66-’67 Our Panthers did an excellent job this year as they fin¬ ished the season with a respectable 5-4 record. The season began with a loss to Henderson. Victories were at the expense of Bruceton, Selmer, South Side, Lexington, and Perry County. Lex¬ ington was the only one among these who gave a close battle with the score ending at 12-7. Other defeats were at the hands of Bolivar, Camden and Savannah. The Savannah game was extremely close and turned out to be a real heartbreaker as we were defeated by the score of 24-20. The home¬ coming game took place on October 14, with Lexington. Riverside fans were thrilled to see the Panthers down the Tigers by the score 12-7. The maids, Jane Spence, Linda Webster, Karen Crawley, and Pam Reddix, were escorted by senior football members, and Queen Glenda Butler was presented with flowers and crowned with a kiss. Another high¬ light was the wonderful music played by the marching Panthers as the parade of cars with Riverside ' s Royalty passed in review. At the end of the season, Jimmy Brasher and David Comer were chosen as the most valuable offensive players, with Joe Davis and Don Carrington chosen as the most valuable defensive players. It is hoped that our teams in the future will strive as hard to do their best and have the initiative to win as the ' ’Panthers of ' 67 . Caught here are the Riverside tri-captains of the 66- 67 football season. These three boys - Jim Brasher, David Comer, and Jerry Conrad - led our Panthers to their most successful season. They were chosen by the team because of their ability for leadership and will¬ ingness to do a good job. All three boys won honors at the end of the season; Jim Brasher - All-Conference End, David Comer - Most Valuable Offensive Back, and Jerry Conrad - All West Tennessee Honorable Mention. Jerry Conrad goes after an elusive Henderson Eagle in the opening game of the season. The Panthers fell in a hard fight to the Eagles after taking an opening lead. 51 FRONT ROW: Marty Madden, Jim King, Joe Lee Johnson, Wilson Conrad, Tommy Hardison.

THIRD ROW: Jim Essary, Randy Quinn, Steve Weatherford, Sykes Wilford, Coach Fisher. Joe Davis and Don Carrington are shown here in their natural poses in the halls. Joe is the most valuable defensive lineman and Don received the honor of being chosen the most valuable defensive back. 53 Shown here is Coach Floyd Powers working out some new plays for the boys. Our coach is a gradu¬ ate of Mississippi State, where he was an All-Conference Tackle. He was a very respected man on the gridiron just as he is now as a coach. The boys respect him and think he is the greatest man for a coach one could have. As shown in this picture, our coach is always working for the team and Riverside. Here we see one of our new coaches, Sammy Fisher, giving a boy the ’’going over for a mistake he shouldn ' t have made. Coach Fisher is respected by all the boys as a good coach and a great friend. Another of our new coaches is Houston Barrett. Mr. Bar¬ rett comes to us from Bethel College. Coach Barrett is shown here doing one of the many dreary jobs our coaches must do. 54 Coach Powers is shown here explaining some of the new and difficult exercises the boys must go through to get ready for next year. These Skull Sessions show the true value of a good coach. Pictured here are some of next year ' s team working out with weights. The returning squad is shown here getting into formation to run a play. This bunch of boys look as if they will be able to handle anyone during next year ' s season. 55 Captain, Jimmy Brasher R.H.S.

Chosen from each class was a maid and from the senior class our football queen. These are, from left to right: Freshman maid, Pam Reddix; Junior maid, Lynda Webster; Football Queen, Glenda Butler; Senior maid, Jane Spence; and Sophomore maid, Karen Crawley. The students enthusi¬ asm and participation showed that the homecoming will be all the more successful in 1967. Glenda Butler is Riverside’s Football Queen for 1966-67. She is tops in everybody ' s book. Glenda was chosen Three of Glenda’s biggest admirers are David Comer, Jerry Queen by the admiring members of the fighting Pan- Conrad, and Jimmy Brasher, the Riverside Tri-Captains, thers of Riverside. They certainly think that she is a great gal. 58 Pictured above are Coach Powers and the Senior football players of 1966-67.

Here we catch Jimmy Brasher planning his future in foot¬ ball. Jimmy was selected for the All-West Tennessee team as second string end. He was also chosen All-Con¬ ference End. 59 CO-CAPTAINS Rita Smith Senior Penny Goff Junior R.H.S. ’66-’67 FOOTBALL CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders add much to their school with their enthusiasm and school spirit. Here we see them in one of their many formations. 60 R.H.S. Janet Hodges - Sophomore Lynda Webster - Junior ’ 66-’67 BASKETBALL CHEERLEADERS Glynda Lynda Patsy Sandra Janet Penny Rita Shaunda Johnson - Senior Riverside ' s cheerleaders participated in the Football Homecoming. Each received a cor¬ sage from their escort, during the crowning of the Queen. Here we find our cheerleaders hard at work. Making signs is one of their many responsi¬ bilities before a game. 61 R. H.S.’s coaches, Houston Barrett and Sammy Fisher are caught in theirusual form as they lounge around while the boys are at practice. The truth of the matter is that our two industrious coaches are thinking up new plays for the teams. Both of our new basketball coaches come from Bethel College. COACHES Coach Fisher worked hard all year to make a winning team out of our girls. This is Coach Fisher ' s first year at Riverside and the girls love him. Coach Barrett is showing Dale Scott the correct way to pass the ball in a certain play. Coach Barrett comes from Parsons and all the boys think of him as a great friend. 63 FRONT ROW, Left to Right: Carolyn White, Janis McClure, Virginia Conrad, Shauda Johnson, Jane Yarbro, Gail Burton, Rossene Wisham.

They lost their first two games but came back to take the next six in a row. Their streak came to an end against Ramer as they went into overtime three times and were defeated by the heartbreaking score of 40-38. They lost the next two against Adamsville and Perry County but played exceptionally good ball the rest of the season. Savannah was the only tea m that defeated them twice. They ended the season with a very respectable 15-7 rec¬ ord and ranked fourth in the district. At the end of the season, Shaunda Johnson, our most out¬ standing guard, was chosen as the most valuable player. Forwards Janis McClure, Janie Yarbro and Glynda Yarbro did tremendous jobs. Rossene Wisham, Ann Blankenship and Shaunda Johnson did a great job as guards. We hope that the Pantherettes of ' 67- ' 68 will strive as hard to do their best as did this year’s team. 64 R.H.S. SENIORS This bunch of seniors has meant a lot to the team this year. Shaunda was Most Valuable Player, while Gail, Janice, Jane, and Rossene helped bring victory from defeat many times over. The team will certainly miss them next year. 65 Janice McClure goes through the motion of passing the ball as she is guarded by Shaunda Johnson. In the background guards Ann Blankenship and Rossene Wisham attempt to guard forwards, Glenda and Jane Yarbro. Whew!! That was hard! But Janice got the job done and the Pantherettes won over Scotts Hill. 66 Most Valuable Players this year are Jerry Gibson and Shaunda Johnson. Jerry and Shaunda were chosen by their teammates for this honor. Jerry is a forward, and Shaunda plays guard. Both of these kids are con¬ sidered by their teams as good sportsmen and fine players. Shaunda Johnson has proved herself for six years in basket¬ ball. She played two years in Junior High, two years at Parsons High, and now two years at R. H.S. She has top¬ ped her career with a great 66-’67 season. £ •Sliauncl’aOohns! Jerry Gibson was awarded the Most Valuable Player for the Panthers of ' 66-’67. Jerry has played ball for six years, and he surely loves the game.

PANTHERS ’66-’67 Marty Madden leads the boys through a play in practice. This day- after-day practice has made the boys what they are. % 70 PANTHER’S SEASON ’66-’67 The Panthers lost their first game with Lexington by the score of 80-60. The first home game took place on No¬ vember 22nd. The Panthers played a very good game against the strong Savannah team but lost by the heart¬ breaking score of 38-36. Their first victory came at the expense of Southside Pick¬ wick. Other victories were over Clifton, Beech Bluff, Henderson, Scotts Hill, Perry County, and Selmer. They defeated Clif¬ ton and Beech Bluff twice but lost both games against Lexington, Sardis, Savan¬ nah, Ramer, and Adamsville. The home games with Henderson and Scotts Hill and the away games with Scotts Hill and Perry County were very close. The home game with Scotts Hill marked the end of the season. The Panthers ' record was 9-13 for the year and forward Jerry Gibson was chosen as the most valuable player. The Panthers didn ' t have a winning season this year but did a marvelous job. They proved that they are very capable of having a stronger team, and we will be expecting a great deal of improvement in the future. The fighting Panthers have attracted large crowds all year and this is one of the lar¬ gest. The fans saw Riverside win in a close one against Scotts Hill. Look out!! Thomas almost had it, but he missed as he went for the ball against Adamsville. Riverside played hard but lost in a hard fight. 71 Watch it! Jerry Gibson and Ronnie Roberts attempt to block a shot about to be made by a player from Scotts Hill. 72 AS FEATURES MR.

CLASS OF ’67 We shall not be moved”, say President, Jerry Butler; Secretary, Rita Smith; and Vice-President, Gail Burton. Now is the time - the time when opportunity is ours, when the world is unfolded at our feet. And perhaps before we call ourselves adults, before we chuckle and blot from our minds everything we ever knew about chemistry or the Seven Years War, we should stop to think. And we should include in our reflections, our companions, and most of all, our God. Our real gratitude should lie in the realization that we have achieved what we know to be only the very first step in a long journey toward happiness and fulfillment. HOME ROOM TEACHERS For we Seniors these five teachers have been the beginning of each day at Riv¬ erside. They have helped to guide and direct us in all of our work.
