Robert F Munroe Day School - Reflections Yearbook (Quincy, FL)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1972 volume:

“Time, time — a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its currents; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.” REFLECTIONS 1972, Robert F. Munroe Day School, Mt. Pleasant, Florida 1 ROBERT FRAZER MUNROE (1928-1969) He was one of the driving forces who sparked the minds and actions of the group who founded our school. Dedicated to the worthwhile service of his God, country, and fellowman, he fought for the ideals of our nation, both alone and with others. He never considered a moment wasted when spent in the pre- sence of friends, and his friends were legend. He supplied a working demonstration of love, pride, and courage. 2 Curriculum and Faculty........................... 6 Student Life ....................................22 Organizations....................................28 Sports ..........................................44 Underclassmen ...................................60 Seniors ........................................

Laslic, Bert Morgan, and Lee Sherwood. 8 S. M. Eubanks, HEADMASTER, became a representative of Robert F. Munroe Day School. He stood for authority and disciplinary principles. In parental concern, Mr. Eubanks helped prospective college students with applications to their preferred schools. With the help of the SCHOOL BOARD, Mr. Eubanks was able to overcome most difficulties he encountered. The board consisted of men and women concerned about quality education plus meaningful extracurricular activities. Everette E. Gay, chairman of the board, skillfully managed and directed the course of the school. Thus, the second year of existence for Robert F. Munroe Day School was considered a great success. 9 Mr. E. E. Gay is willing to cope with all matters confronting Robert F. Munroe Day School. Mrs. Chamberlain discloses the hidden meaning of Robert Frost’s poem, “Mending Wall,” to the eleventh grade class. M4 Eloisc Chamberlain, B.S. Florida State University Puzzled eighth graders listen attentively to the explanation of a difficult sentence structure from their new grammar books. Kathryn Agerton and Janet Fletcher labor over their journalism layout as they worry about the ever pressing deadline. 10 Buck Gregory discovers how nerve-wracking a speech can be - es- Ann Fortner, B.A.E. pecialiy one made in Mrs. Fortner’s class. University of Florida Mrs. Fortner provides a senior, Ann Taylor, with individual help in interpreting the language of Shakespeare’s tragic play, Hamlet. The expansion of the ENGLISH department was marked by the acquisition of new visual aids such as records, filmstrips and movies, modern books and workbooks, as well as the new teachers, Mrs. Fortner and Mr. Smith. Mrs. Chamberlain stimulated the inter- ests of the eleventh grade in the comp- osition of themes, poems and a term paper. She encouraged the eighth grade in their writing of autobiogra- phies, and was relied upon by the JOURNALISM class for her expert guid- ance. Preparation for college was Mrs. Fort- ner’s objective for the seniors. She led their struggle toward this goal by emphasizing grammar through creative writing, term papers, and other exer- cises. Hamlet was studied to broaden their knowledge of Skakespeare. The SPEECH class polished their speak- ing technique by incorporating Mrs. Fortner’s constructive criticism into the improvement of their delivery and by refining their voice projection. Mrs. Howell led the sixth and seventh graders in the indepth study of English grammar, necessary background for high school. The ninth and tenth grades continued their study of increasingly more complex grammar rules under Mr. Smith. 11 Max Fletcher, a student in biology, learns from Mr. Barbee the intricacies of breeding calico cats. Donald Barbee, B.S. C. Vanlandingham, M.S. Florida State University Florida State University Interest was aroused in the SCIENCE courses taught by Mr. Barbee and Mrs. Vanlandingham by the arrival of charts, glassware, and chemicals. Participation was increased as students used the visual aids in experiments of SCIENCE. Classroom discussion was prompted by the ideas of both teacher and students Enthused sixth graders listen as Mrs. “Van” explains the proper- ties of electricity in relationship to a battery. 12 V I Max Clark, a student in Mr. Smith’s German class, realizes that reciting lessons is a major part of learning a foreign language. Mr. Smith and Melissa Chamberlain take time out from the daily rou- tine of Spanish to chuckle at the class “clown.” Mr. Smith leads and accompanies the elementary grades in music class. Scott Smith, B.A. Florida State University Scott Smith’s diversified interests and talents are shown in the variety of subjects he teaches. In addition to instructing in MUSIC classes for the elementary grades, he also holds three different language classes - ENGLISH, SPANISH, and GERMAN. 13 Martha Jean Woodward, B.A. Wesleyan College By the discussion of current events in relation to the past, HISTORY was relived in the minds of Mrs. Woodward’s students. Government and civics students learned the privileges and re- sponsibilities of citizenship. After taking the available courses in the HISTORY department, students were better qualified to make important political and social decisions. How countries of the world differ in climate, customs, government, and man’s ways of making a living was the subject of Mr. Lane’s geography class. Mr . Woodward, in her characteristic pose, carries on a relevant discussion. Mr. Lane distinguishes a point of discussion for some of his students. 14 - . McKeown helps Tommy Strickland straighten out some diffulcul- on an equation. Trigonometry, geometry, and algebra were mysteries to Mrs. McKeown’s students. However, as the year progressed, with consistent practice and in- dividual help from Mrs. McKeown an increased understanding came. The mysteries of functions, proofs, and equations became concrete. Mrs. Basset, the junior high MATH teacher, pre- pared students for the more advanced high school MATHS. The learning of basic concepts established a logical thinking process in the students. Due to small classes, both teachers were able and willing to give individual attention to students. Mrs. Bassett helps her students' understanding of their homework by going over it in class the next day. 15 The physical education participants think wisely about staying in shape for the President's Physical Fitness Contest. William Lane, B.S. Vann Bryant, B.S. University of West Florida Troy State University Directed by Mr. Bryant and Mr. Lane, the PHYSICAL EDUCATION program continued to function. The newest feature was the gym with lockers, shower-dressing rooms, and three class- rooms. It was constructed during the summer and fall of 1971. Activities besides the President’s physical fit- ness test were basketball, football, track, soccer, and baseball. Endurance, strength, and the ability to jump aid Homer Chester in his pursuit to perfect his hurdling technique. 16 With Mrs. Howell’s assistance, Charlene Reaney types cards for the card catalogue. I Patricia Howell, B.S. Florida State University With the guidance of Mrs. Patricia Howell, the LIBRARY progressed with the improvements of new books for elementary students, a check-out counter, and more filmstrips. A larger selection of magazines was made available. Seven students taking library science helped to complete the card catalogue and vertical files. Mrs. Howell and the library science students sold cookies and brownies at the Fall and Spring Carnivals to raise money to buy more books and supplies for the LIBRARY. Enthused second graders eagerly read the library's new fairy tale books. Sandie Eubanks Secretary-Bookkeeper Debra Buttram and Linda Gray serve as messengers and aides in the Rachel Perkins office under the supervision of Mrs. Eubanks and Mrs. Perkins. A.B.,F.S.U., Teacher-Aide Mrs. Eubanks and Mrs. Perkins work as a team to keep the records in the office in order. 18 It’s all work and no play for Woodrow as he unloads the truck. The Robert F. Munroe SCHOOL STAFF consisted of versatile and competent people. The efficiency of the office was increased with the addition of Mrs. Perkins as an assistant to Mrs. Eubanks. Volunteer workers from study hall aided the staff in running the office smoothly. Woodrow Hinson, our dedicated custodian, worked faithfully to keep our school and grounds in “ship-shape” order. A new bus route was established from Chattahoochee with Mr. Barbee as driver. Mrs. Carolyn Lambert conveyed students from Havana in her Chevyvan. The Greensboro and Qunicy students rode buses driven by Mrs. Bernell Smith, Mr. Lane and Mr. Smith. Bill Lane, Scott Smith, Carolyn Lambert, Bemcll Smith, and Donald Barbee drive students to school. 19 And the leaves that are green turn to brown and they wither with the wind and they crumble in your hand; I threw a pebble in a brook and watched the ripples run away and they never made a sound and the leaves that are green turn to brown. -Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel 22 Mr We realized that our laughter was hollow without accompaniment, and that life was better lived with others. We laughed, cried, and loved together, but there came the moment when we stood alone and discovered only you are you. 23 Homecoming week- a week filled with fun, work, and emotions. As we participated in each day’s activity, we drew close and felt the spirit of Homecoming growing. Then came the actual day, the queen crowned and the game won — We danced into the morning with all the spirit of the week surround- ing us. 25 26 27 School spirit... Tutoring students .. . Car washes ... Sixty hours in one year . . . Clothes drive ... Honor roll posters .. . Deadlines . . . Little Brother project... 28 29 With the help of Mrs. Mary E. Bassett, sponsor ol the JR. BETA CLUB, the first actual year of existence proved to be enriched with successful projects. Led by the officers of the club, Jan Gregory-president; Doug Hagler-vice-president; Ellen Suber-secretary; and Lynn Bassett- treasurer, the Jr. Beta Club sold membership tickets to the Bobcat Booster Club, had the cake walk at the Halloween Carnival, collected for the Jr. Red Cross, tutored students, and posted the Headmaster and Honor Students’ lists. President Jan Gregory presides over a Jr. Beta Club meeting, displaying her leadership qualities by maintaining control and inspiring the members. The Jr. Beta Club’s cake walk at the Halloween Carnival provides sus- pense for everyone who participates. 30 As one of the projects he is involved in for the Beta Club, Bert Fletcher tutors Steven Tomicich in spelling. In the oath of the National Beta Club, Linda Gray promises to uphold the standards of her school, community, and country. The National Beta Club emblem holds the watchwords of the club. The first lull year of Robert F. Munroe’s SR. BETA CLUB was an extremely productive one. Efficient officers were President — Everitt Drew, Vice- President — Lynne Layton, Secre- tary — Ann Taylor, Treasurer — Bert Fletcher, and Chaplain — Janice Poston. They, with the other members, donated much of their time to service projects. Betas were appointed to help elementary teachers by tutoring younger students. Hard work and much time were put into the creation of a two-hundred- dollar scholarship fund, to be distributed to deserving students entering our school. This pro- ject was financed by car washes and events sponsored in the Fall and Spring Carnivals. Of course, the main objectives of the BETA CLUB were to encourage academic excellence, to stimulate stu- dents to do their best, and to uphold higher educational standards of our school. 31 Members listen intently to the discussion of Thanksgiving baskets that will be given to their eight “little brothers.' Small in number yet large in frame of mind, the KEY CLUB began its second year with outstanding praise from the Kiwanis Club. Members of the Key Club immediately began preparing projects for underprivileged children which included giving them turkeys on Thanks- giving Day, making Christmas baskets for them, carrying them to ball games, and entertaining them at a weiner roast. The help of Mrs. Vanlandingham, Mr. Harnett, and Peggy Perkins led the mem- bers to higher ideals. The club grew in community awareness by supporting the Easter Seal Drive. Striving for improvement of the school, they painted tables, trash cans, and the boys’ dressing rooms. 32 Beautifying the picnic area gives members strong painting arms. Members take Thanksgiving turkeys to the underprivileged children. Sterling Watson and Everitt Drew attend a Kiwanis meeting. President Ray Auman, Vice-President Taylor Williams, Secretary Bert Fletcher, Treasurer Buck Gregory, Sweetheart Peggy Perkins, and Sponsor Mrs. Vanlandingham discuss band possibilities for the annual Key Club(jhristmas dance and future projects of the year. 33 34 Lynne Anderson and Betty Shannon Davis’ effort is rewarded as Mrs. McCail buys several magazine subscriptions. The force behind every goal Preparing for the pep rally, Tommy Williams and Cheryl Gatlin promote team spirit by painting signs. A Bobcat yell and a happy smile send spirit soaring during a big pep rally. Working in magazine sales, the Robert F. Munroe PEP CLUB helped the school raise money for the lockers in the new gym. Headed by Gloria Chester, its president, the Pep Club promoted spirit at all ages. Members made signs for the games as well as participated in pep rally skits. All wasn’t work, however, as they sponsored a Sadie Hawkins dance and during Spirit Week, Button Day. The other officers are Kenneth Powell, vice-president; Sally Boyd, secretary-treasurer; Lynne Anderson, organizer. Under the leadership of officers elected at the end of the previous year, STUDENT GOVERNMENT representatives were elected and organized into a working body early in the year. The body consisted of a variety of individuals and talents from the sixth to the twelfth grade. Enthusi- astic about the new gym, they helped to sell Booster Club memberships and were in charge of the concession stand at all home games. In an effort to bring about a concern for others, a Vietnamese child was sponsored. Other projects included the school’s first Homecoming and booths at both the Fall and Spring Carnivals. Officers were Linda Baker, president; Everitt Drew, vice-president; Susan McAleenan, secretary; and Janice Poston, treasurer. Linda Baker discusses plans for the approaching Homecoming events. Susan McAleenan states her qualifications for being elected secretary in her campaign speech. 36 Bill McMillan awaits the arrival of a water balloon at the Halloween Carnival booth. 37 A group of concerned girls, each being individual and always ready to work for a good cause, joined together to organize the JR. EXCHANGETTES. Transforming their concern into numerous service projects, the Exchangettes worked to im- prove their community and their school. Under the guidance of their sponsor, Mrs. Woodward, and the officers, as well as support from Dreamboat Scott Campbell (who helped make the job easier with his laughter and fun-loving nature), the organization planned and carried out many worthwhile activities. Their plans for the betterment of the community materialized into preparations for the Ford Philpot Crusade and a Christmas Party for the underpriviledged children. Working for the improvement of their school, the Exchangettes sponsored a clothes drive for the thrift shop and presented a Valentine’s Day assembly. They also gave gifts of appreciation to the teachers on holidays. Mrs. Woodward and officers Peggy Perkins, Linda Baker, Ethel Griffin, Linda Gray, and Eva Chamberlain discuss upcoming projects. Bands advertising the Ford Philpot Crusade for Greater Qunicy are placed on hymnals of the local churches. 38 39 Senior Scott Campbell, who was elected Dreamboat, adds his own special touch to each meeting and project. Mrs. McKeown receives a Thanksgiving gift from Bonne Cox. Vicki Baretich instructs Mrs. McKeown, our active sponsor, in the procedure of donating blood. 40 Sarah Stuart Auman, Debra Buttram, and Linda Baker label medi- cines and file prescriptions in the drug room of the hospital. Seven CANDY STRIPERS from Robert Munroe joined twenty-two other girls from Gadsden County and gave enthu- siastic support and aid to the Gads- den Memorial Nursing Staff. Valuable experience was also gained by work- ing at the Bloodmobile, X-Ray Unit, and nursing home. The knowledge of nursing duties and responsibilities helped several girls to make deci- sions for careers in medicine. 41 Members of the journalism class organize their thoughts and materials to produce an expressive yearbook. Photographer Carlyle McCall stays on the job getting the pictures that tell the story of our school’s second year. To do the work you love and to love those with whom you work make work a pleasure, duty a privilege, and creativity a reward. Eloise Chamberlain — Adviser 42 Janet Fletcher and Helen Griffin learn to type copy from Lynne Layton and Sarah Stuart Auman. The 72 ANNUAL STAFF wanted to produce a yearbook capturing the excitement and emotions of the school year. With the staff, editor, and adviser working together, this was possible. The “team” was like a machine; every person had a co-ordinate duty. This helped the students to grow in sensitivity and responsibility. These qualities strengthened all as the fight to meet dead- lines went on. REFLECTIONS ’72, in the beginning like a small child, was nurtured to maturity by the ANNUAL STAFF. Faced with a maze of problems — writing, illustrating, financing, and producing the annual, Cilia maintains calmness in the security of preparedness. Priscilla Suber, Editor-in-Chief 43 A long cool afternoon . . . the minutes have ticked away. I am hot and tired, but I will sleep with the taste of victory on my lips. 44 The toe of Tommy Strickland kicks off the 1971 Flag Football season. Active students participated in the FLAG FOOT- BALL intramurals during the football season. Not only the boys but also the girls had a chance to show their abilities and to learn the value of good sportsmanship. Rick Green executes the triple option like a pro. Circling right end, Ray Auman looks to pick up blockers. Attempting to make a tackle, Johnny Blue Craig closes in on Ray Auman. 46 Tensions mount as the teams line up for the snap. 47 With Rick Green in pursuit, Taylor Williams crosses the goal line for another score. Behind excellent blocking, Cheryl Gatlin outruns Cathy Mitchell to the end zone. I'liough the BOBCATS finished the season with 11 wins and 14 defeats, they suqjriscd us by rolling past NF- CS and upsetting favored FAMU Rattlers to win the District Six Championship at Greensboro. They then advanced to the Region 2 Tournament at Grand Ridge and edged by Greenville in overtime. The only ob- stacle between the Bobcats and the State Tournament was highly ranked Grand Ridge. The Bobcats fought it down to the wire before getting into foul trouble. Despite this, they brought home two trophies and won the respect of their opponents. Lennie Butler outstretches his defender to give the Bobcats a quick After a basket, Chip Gray hustles to his offensive position, start.

Buck Gregory, 6-3 senior forward, goes high for a choke. Bill Miller, an excellent playmaker, demonstrates a cat’s quickness when handling the ball. 49 Miller Butler stretches for all he is worth in controlling the tip-off. Lex McMillan, a deadly outside shooter, is a threat everytime he gets the ball. Lennie Butler controls the opening tip to lead the Bobcats to an overwhelming Homecoming victory. 50 Roger Register and Johnny Blue Craig demonstrate Bill Story moves swiftly down the court as the play developes in front of him.

He made a basket! Whoopeec! Even though out-sized and out-scored in many of the games they played, the JUNIOR VARSITY BOBCATS kept their spirits up and held their heads high. Inspired by Coach Bill Lane and leading scorers Johnny Blue Craig and Doug Haglcr, the Bobcats never gave up and gained valuable experience that they will need. With the game safely tucked away, Tom Duncan calmly shoots a free throw. David Owens and Tommy Strickland fight in vain for a rebound. 52 The Robert F.

Chip Gray gives Mike Dooner last minute instruc- tions. With all other strokes perfected, Senior golf team member Kenneth Powell takes time out for putting practice. Nineteen Seventy-two marked the first year of GOLF at Robert F. Munroe high school. Playing teams out of their class, the Bobcat golfers made a good showing with their eager competitiveness and will to work. 55 Led by Captain Crystle Johnson, the B TEAM CHEERLEADERS exhibited pep and spirit throughout the season. They cheered their team through defeats and victories, always showing sportsmanship and cheerfulness. The members of this squad were Captain-Crystle Johnson, Co-Captain-Tammy Bassett, Letitia Drew, Ellen Suber, Millie Fletcher, Rita Watson, Lynn Bassett, and Ena Grantham. 57 Lawson May-Junior Kathryn Agerton-J unior Susan McAIeenan-J unior Altemate-Gracic Bitncr-Sophomorc Janice Poston-Sophomorc Susan Bassctt-Sophomore 58 Linda Gray-Senior Captain Peggy Perkins-Senior Co-Captain Debra Buttram-Senior The VARSITY CHEERLEADERS, aided by the Pep Club and B team cheerleaders, sponsored many spirit-rousing events. They increased interest in Homecoming by promoting a “Spirit Week” which included “Hat Day,” “Wear Anything You Want Day,” “Slave Day,” “Challenge Day” and “Student-Teacher Day.” Throughout the season, the CHEERLEADERS raised spirit with their enthusiasm and vitality. Pep rallies were enlivened by snappy skits, toe-tapping songs, and exciting cheers. These girls really did their best to cheer the team to victory and, it would seem, they succeeded. 59 The pendulum swings . . . One lost, but well spent moment goes by, Can it ever be recaptured? 60 Denise Bauldree April Brown Don Clark Bill Dean Ashley Fowler Karen Higdon Laura Hoffman Karen Jan Humphrey Curry Johnson Dayton Jones Donna Jones Jill Lambert Diane McClellan 62 With the whole art of a teacher’s experience to show them how to tell their own story, the children(came together into a world of knowing and imagining. Like living arrows, bright and swift, they met thoughts that came with doves’ footsteps and vividly began to learn.

Having learned to print in the first grade, their struggle now was with cursive writing exercises. Math became harder be- cause the numbers became larger. Although at times the work seemed impossibly difficult and endless, a more perfect letter or a correct sum were thrilling rewards.

Along with this, they also inherited the new' responsibility of selling popcorn at the Halloween carnival. Their accomplishments were met with great happiness, and through it all they exhibited a love for life and the individual that was uniquely possessed by only the sixth graders.

Mike Lewis Ncllc McCall Bill McMillan Vic Parramore Beverly Rowan Tommy Shepard Lisa Sherwood Ricky Sparks Bill Story Cliff Strickland Harold Strom Mitch Suber Robert Taylor Anne Jolley Thomas Steve Winkler 77 The main objectives of the ninth graders were sports and academic achievement. Fhey entered into the life of the school by taking part in basketball, cheerleading, and flag football. (Hall of the Junior Varsity basketball team was made up of freshmen.) They showed their academic ability when the class placed in the upper twenty per cent in the statewide ninth grade tests. Money was raised for the Freshmen by selling cookies at lunchtime and by having the tunnel crawl and the fish pond at the Halloween Carnival. Their goals were set high and many were met, but the unaccomplished would be looked forward to next year with new hope and a greater sense of determination.

Whatever their purpose, the result was learning and through learning, growing. They searched, explored, questioned and, through this, became separate people. Although they maintained the ability to work as a group, they grew into 29 individuals. 81 SOPHOMORES Steve Hurst Branch Mahaffey Mary Elizabeth McMillan Cathy Mitchell Janice Poston Janet Register Gail Smith Tommy Strickland Judy Tharpe Billy Todd Sterling Watson Thad White Britt W'iggins Susan Winkler David W'oodward With each student taking part in events that were of special interest to him, the sophomores were involved in a hugh spectrum of activities. Motivated by an endless competative spirit, they devoted their time and attention to cheerleading, studying, basketball, spend-the- night parties, baseball and clubs. 83 SOPHOMORES As a group, we accomplished. As individuals, we matured. We touched each other’s lives, Leaving our imprint on each soul we encountered. We acknowledged these impressions, And so founded the memories that would survive. As a group, we matured. As individuals, we accomplished. 84 Kathryn Agerton Sarah Stuart Auman Sally Boyd Jan Butler Lennie Butler Neva Butler Eva Chamberlain Bonnie Bess Cox Everett Drew Bert Fletcher Max Fletcher Charles Grantham 85 JUNIORS The JUNIORS’ lives were enriched by new acquaintances, soon made into friends, and balanced by well rounded activities. They worked hard in their studies, crying over defeats and rejoicing in their accomplishments. The Spring Prom was organized under the leadership of Sarah Stuart Auman, president of the JUNIOR class, and made successful by the time and effort contributed by each class member. Even during the work involved in financing this event — car washes, selling all-occasion cards, conducting a drawing for a tape player — the JUNIORS managed to maintain an atmosphere of fun. The school benefited from the services rendered by the JUNIORS in organizations and sports, and, in return, gave encouragement and advice to them. By being a harmonious, friendly group, the JUNIORS shared their joys and doubled them, shared their sorrows and halfed them.

Look and See or you will be trapped in an eternity of darkness. Hear and Listen or you will be locked in a tomb of silence. Talk and Speak or you will be caught in the silence of the dumb. And if all this must happen, you will exist as nothing. 99 Town is home to me, rushing about ignoring the crowds, thinking how it will be when I’m gone. I will be leaving a place where the streets are like small rivers that touch the shoreline of the curb. The butts in the gulley are small boats that travel the waterways of life. They must find a rushing current; they’re running out of time. 100 • •- • • 101 ELDER’S GROCERY LAYERD’S FLORIST 102 FLORIDIN COMPANY FARMER’S HARDWARE HARBIN-WOLF, INC. 103 YOUNG’S HOME FURNISHINGS PAULK’S SERVICE STATION THE FLETCHER COMPANY 104 MORROW CLEANERS 105 WILSONS MEDICAL CENTER PHARMACY FELIX’S SERVICE CENTER 106 CITIZEN S BANK TRUST COMPANY 107 CROUCH LIGGETT REXALL DRUGS CECIL BEANE’S GULF STATION 108 THE IVY SHOP MAY TOBACCO COMPANY TALQUIN ELECTRIC ONE OF FLORIDA'S FINE STORES FletcHer-Oajatey tJien d Florida Quincy BUDD CIGAR COMPANY GADSDEN TOBACCO LEAF CO-OP HAVANA CANDELA TOBACCO COMPANY FLETCHER-WILUS LUMBER COMPANY FIRST FEDERAL SAVINGS LOAN ASSOCIATION 110 FLETCHER FORD TRACTOR COMPANY PAT HIGDON INDUSTRIES MACK’S RADIO JUVENILE FURNITURE QUINCY, FLORIDA T.V.
