Mr. Robert G. Johnson has been a true friend to us. But more than a friend, he has helped us—by devoting his time and energy to making San- som the respected school it is. Only two short years ago he was assistant principal here and also taught World History. This well-known man with the ready smile and wit is now our city’s Coordinator of Federal Programs. In order to say thank you to a wonderful person, a witty man, and a true friend, the 1968 Senior Class dedicates the TALISMAN to Mr. Robert G. Johnson, our figure head in progress. Mr. Johnson, a man of varied interests, is shown here scrutinizing his directory of Federal Programs. Dealing with the itemized bills of the Program is a vital part of Mr. Johnson's job. 14 Curriculum Most important of all is the curriculum. Prerequisite to commencement, the academ- ic disciplines of the curriculum are often thought to end with graduation. Knowledge gained here, however, will go with each student into his future life. LOOKING FORWARD means the opening of a new world, where we would lay aside our books and begin to use the knowledge that we had gained from the academic part of our school life. Our curriculum has broadened our field of knowledge this year by offering us three new courses, which are: Driver's F.ducation, French III, and World Geography. The resolution of these and other courses of- fered us is to stimulate the inquisitive stu- dent and prod him into an awareness of the importance of his learning in an in- creasingly complex world, no matter what ... his POINT OF VIEW. 17 Two New Electives Offered at Sansom Two electives offered for the first time this year were Driver's Education and World Geography. Since the ability to drive is considered a status symbol among teenagers, this course in driving education was welcomed by the students. Mrs. Alice Haley was the instructor for this course. World Geography taught by Mr. Nick Pendley was the second new elective added. In order to add this subject to our curriculum Mr. Pendley wrote a course of study and selected a textbook which was approved. Library and Reading Classes were also two very popular electives with the students this past year. New Driving Instructor, Mrs. Alice Haley says, That is not the correct way to make a right hand turn signal, Mike McGowan Frances Robershaw. Dianne Lynch, Shelia Hardy look on as the)’ await their turn. LEFT: All students in Library Classes appreciate this extra time to catch up with their studies.

RIGHT: Mrs. Christopher’s Read- ing Classes are divided into small groups to continue practice which increases their reading speed. RIGHT: Jan Hayes, Carol Chance, Don Williams, Sandra Davenport and Steve Osborne use the lab to test their comprehension. 19 History Department Uses Visual Aids Today, foreign countries are no longer remote cor- ners of the world. All men are striving for a greater understanding, a faster progress, and a more solid peace. Since world relationships are becoming more complex, modern young people need to grasp an understanding of the world situation, and one way to get this understanding of the world is to study history. At Emma Sansom through the use of films, maps, verbal reports, lectures, and group work, Social Stud- ies are made interesting. Through these means, San- som students have unlimited opportunities to study not only past history but present history-making events. During a student’s three years at Emma Sansom, he must complete at least two social studies courses; American History and American Government—Eco- nomics. American History and World Geography informed the students of the changes in the world. History courses also helped the student cope with problems of everyday life. ABOVE: Miss Nelle Martin points to the Fourteen Free States at the time of the Civil War. Maps proved to be valuable visual aids in our present day study of history. 20 ABOVE: Mrs. McKee’s American Government Class had panel discussions once a week in order to keep up with the current hap- penings of our day all over the world. Patsy Elliott reports as the other members of the panel, Cathy Fowler, Byron Davis, Vicki Gay, Carole Hamilton, and Cathy Gamble listen intently. RIGHT: Jane Mitchell and Mike Sullivan use the United States Hews and World Report, as references for their term papers in American His- tory. 21 Commercial Course Provides Practical Training for Future Goals Most of the girls taking the Commercial Course work in the office here at school to gain practical experience. Mr. Akers discusses office procedures with Wanda Lambert and Betty Jones. Divided into well-defined units of study, the commercial course provided practice in all im- portant fundamental business practices. These courses were the foundation for most of the clerical positions sought by students in an office. One of the major purposes was to equip the students with a working knowledge of those basic principles of Bookkeeping. Shorthand and Typing were the basic skills needed for almost all types of office work. The courses will be valuable for personal use as well as vocational application. Office Practice combined all of the other cours- es available. The students had a chance to show their ability to work in an actual office situa- tion. They applied all of their skills they had learned in previous business classes. ABOVE: Norma Cox, Sherron Brooks, and Marilyn Smith gain practical experience in working with adding machines in Office Practice Class. 22 Eyes on the Copy, Connie!

BELOW: Loyce Shirley multiplies on a Comptometer while across the table from her Judy Knight and Brenda Croft practice using the Monroe Calculators. The girls gain valuable experience while using their machines for they are used in the Accounting Departments of most big offices. Mathematics Is Essential Mathematics is essential tt everyone. There are five mathematics courses offered at Emma Sansom—Business Math, Algebra I and Algebra II, Geometry, and Advanced Math. For the non-college bound student Business Math rounds out his basic math needs. For the college bound student the math curriculum offers subjects required to enter college. Also the more complicated maths help the individual develope his reasoning power and clarify his thinking. All math teachers use modern, well-informed methods to teach. Their superior knowledge is supplemented with equipment purchased at the department's request. The solution of many of the technological problems on which, in large measure, our national survival depends in the atomic and space age has become increasingly de- pendent on the solution of scientific problems involving a high level of mathematics. ABOVE: Mr Dale Beason gives an Algebra II textbook to an unknown student. One of the most time-consuming jobs at the beginning of school was the issuing of state-owned textbooks. ABOVE: Mrs. Hefner checks Joyce Hamby's classwork in Algebra II before taking it up. BELOW: Kathy Morrow and Bonnie Brasher buy some typing paper from Mrs. Hefner. This paper was sold to make money for the Mu Alpha Theta. 25 LEFT: Mr. Schmitz helps Tommy Rutherford with a problem in Mechanical Drawing as Randy Harris. Kenneth Lewis, and Rol- land Pack look on. Mechanical Drawing, Wood Shop, and Metal Shop Provide Enlightenment Mechanical Drawing was an elective offered only to seniors. This course was helpful to students in- terested in architecture and engineering. Designing and blueprinting an ideal house was one of the major assignments of the Mechanical Drawing Classes. To develop skill in hand work and promote inter- est in industrial careers were the main objectives of the Wood and Metal Shops. The Wood Shop was responsible for many repairs and building projects during the year for the entire school. RIGHT: Richard Garner. Donald Tallent, Larry Bran- ham, Gene Hollis, and Frankie Hilliard worked very hard in Wood Shop to make the stands for the Christ- mas trees used in the TALISMAN Beauty Pageant. BELOW: Mr. Schmitz works with two of his students in Metal Shop. ABOVE: Members of the Mechanical Drawing Class plot a point illustrated in their workbooks. Home Economics Provides Valuable Training LEFT: Debra Creel, Cin- dy Hulsey, and Paula Ratliff model the outfits they made in Home Ec at the fashion show pre- sented by Miss Reeves' girls. RIGHT: Jeanette Wad- dell checks her gas stove in the Home Ec kitchen to see if the water for her congealed salad has boiled yet. There are three levels of Home Economics—First Year, Second Year and Specialized. Each group learned skills in two basic areas, cooking and sewing. The classes take turns working in the kitchen and the sewing room. In basic Home Economics the students are required to make three garments, one at home and the other two in class under the supervision of Miss Reeves or Miss Perman. The students in these classes also learned the fundamentals of cooking and planning meals. The students in the Specialized class make more advanced garments than those of the First and Second Year classes. Throughout the year the girls competed in various contests such as the Beef Cook-Off and the Miss Betty Crocker Contest. The girls of the Home Economics classes modeled their designing and creating ability in the fashion shows presented for the parents and faculty. LEFT: Lynn Gray, Cathy Watson, and Judy Entrekin thread their sew- ing machines in first year Home Economics Class. 27 Science Department Headed by Mrs. Vcrncll Bowen, the ESH Science Department students had an opportunity to obtain a taste of each of the principal sciences: General Science, Earth Science, Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. Fascina- tion and intrigue make these science courses a pleasure to take. General Science gives the students a basic understand- ing of all the natural sciences. Next, a biology course gives a theory of the origin, development, structure, and functions of plants and animals. Earth Science, a rela- tively new course to our curriculum was taught by Coach Gary Muskett. If a student wishes, he may continue with more ad- vanced study of Chemistry and Physics. Through these studies and the laboratory work that changes the printed facts to reality, students of Emma Sansom High School can join in attempting to open the door to the science world. ABOVE: Donald Copeland, Dennis Suggs, Randy Brothers, and Ivan Rascoe dissect a frog in their Biology lab. Every biology student must dissect a worm, crayfish, and frog. BELOW: Coach Dean illustrates an easy way to determine the number of nucleons in the nucleus of an atom to Danny Ray, Jimmy Brown, Sherry Brothers, and Pat Turner. 28 Offers Intrigue LEFT: Jan Caudle examines a dis- sected frog as Helen Moore looks on.

Diversified Occupations Club Taught Responsibility Enabling a student to attend school half a day and then go to work was only one of the opportunities offered by the Diversified Occupations Program. The students, enrolled in this program, obtained jobs which prepared them for their chosen careers in the business w'orld. The D.O. students must maintain passing grades in other classes as well as doing the work required on their job exceptionally well to remain part of the program. Among other things the Diversified Occupations Club taught responsibility to each individual student. RIGHT: Guy Armstrong and Randall West look up certain items in the program’s reference books. 30 LEFT: Dan Glenn, Dorothy McCoy, Neal Spivey, and Kay Robinson discuss the news items con- cerning new D.E. happenings on the display bulletin board. Distributive Education Complements Academic Training In order to attract young people to careers in mar- keting and distribution, Mrs. Marie McDonald works closely with each student giving him individual help that will be useful for him on the job. Mrs. McDonald coordinates the related study in the class- room with on-the-job training. This related study cov- ers advertising and basic salesmanship, among other subjects. Students in this organization spend a half day in school studying, then finish the day on jobs which complement their academic training. The jobs are of an endless variety. Students work in department stores, bakeries, jewelry stores, men's wear stores. This course is valuable to the community as well because it provides well trained workers with the necessary experience. Distributive Education student, Judy Richardson, who works at Hoffman's Jewelers, shows two prospective customers a place setting of a simple design that she feels will be to their taste. 31 Language and Art — Two Two foreign languages are offered at Emma Sansom -French, taught by Mrs. Geneva McKee and Spanish, taught by Mr. Harry Vance. These classes have made great use of the language lab- oratory. Having individual earphones makes it much easier for the student to listen and to un- derstand spoken French or Spanish. Oral drills help Spanish and French students to speak fluently. If a student so desires to fur- ther himself in this course, there are many vo- cational fields which he may enter. The new equipment aided Mrs. McKee in streamlining the teaching of French this year. New modern textbooks using a completely dif- ferent approach were used in the entire French Department. A third year of French was offered this year, for the first time. ABOVE: Mrs. McKee adjusts Hoody Tyler's earphones as he laughingly protests. BELOW: Mrs. McKee gives the next day’s assignment to her French III BELOW: French II students enjoy the use of students, Joan Turner, Jessica McGee, Cathy Dial, Susan Conwill, Kathy Brothers, the lab. Rodger Hicks, and Mickey Brewster. 32 Very Popular Electives Art I, II, and III, taught by Mrs. Eloise Ed- wards, supplied background knowledge of the fine arts to all Art students. Self-expression and creativeness were also developed in art courses. Many of the decorations seen at school functions were produced by the art department. Expanded interests help to make well-rounded people, so a few elective courses in a school curriculum add variety to a student's day. These electives, not required for graduation, enable the student to choose subjects which produce skills that are put to use in later life. Clayton Moses works on a sketch in water colors in Art IT. BELOW: Judy Haynie and Drewnetta Snead arrange the display provided for the TALISMAN Beauty Pageant bv the Art classes. English Curriculum Includes Grammar and Minds cluttered with symbolism, fingers stiff from the pen, and waste baskets of crumpled papers were characteristic of the ESH English students. A curriculum of two-thirds grammar and one-third literature constituted the sophomore and junior pro- grams. Sophomores struggled with spelling, tenses, and commas, to develop and express ideas in writing. Julius Caesar and Silas Marner presented new and profound meaning for thought and discussion in the Sophomore classes. Juniors learned to portray them- selves in writing and discussion. Our Town provided an opportunity for deeper understanding and an anal- ysis of human motivations. Seniors splashed through Shakespeare's tragedy, Macbeth; swam through term papers; and tried des- perately to make a three minute speech last six min- utes. ABOVE: Mrs. Betty Pruett discusses in detail the story of Silas Marner with her Sophomore English classes. RIGHT: Terry Brown works frantically to finish an exercise on participle phrases before English period. 34 Composition RIGHT: Mrs. Audrey Culver calls out the answers to an exercise the students worked in class. Through comprehension in reading and writ- ing, the language came to life and each English student achieved a closer relationship with his own emotions as well as those of others, both past and present. Speech was an elective offered to all classes and was enjoyed by many students. Speech classes under the leadership of Miss Goodson put on an excellent skit, with the aid of the Rebel Review and Student Council, during National Education Week. Miss Good son's Speech Class receives a demonslration of the most correct way to act naturally while giving a speech. 35 A BOVE: Danny Henry and Rex Gay execute a complicated flip off the mini-trampoline. Girls’ and Boys’ Physical Education Physical Education classes are designed to develop one, both mentally and physically. Cleanliness, good health habits, proper attitudes, and good sportsman- ship are also emphasized in this department. All students are required to take P.E. unless dis- missed by a doctor’s excuse. Members of the march- ing Rebel band are also not required to take it. At the end of the year, outstanding students were presented awards. The awards were presented for ability, attitude, and participation. The sports program for boys included supervised basketball, baseball, touch football, volleyball, tennis, gymnastics, calisthenics, and weightlifting. Girls par- ticipated in volleyball, softball, basketball, and cal- isthenics. 36 LEFT: Mrs. Frances Brooks measures for the running broad jump as Joan Howington prepares to write the scores.

Under the direction of Mrs. Frances Ralls and Mr. Rip Reagan, members of the music department study the techniques of producing quality sounds. Each year students present productions such as the Christ- mas Concert and the Spring Concert. Valuable experience in performing with a large group of students was gained at the All-State Band tryouts held at Jacksonville University. Four mem- bers of the Rebel band were selected for their per- formance. The choral groups presented programs for civic affairs as well as for school activities. Studying the work of the composers of different eras and different types of music is a part of choral, as well as singing. Student teacher, Pat Morrow and Manager, Benny Bowen help Jimmy Suggs repair his trombone. Pat Morrow worked with the band during Summer Band until he returned to his studies at Auburn University. Mrs. Frances Tatum Ralls directs one of her vocal music classes in a rehearsal of their Spring Concert. 38 Public With Concerts and Entertainment LEFT: The Rebel Band, under the direction of Drum Major, Rolland Pack, performs at halftime during one of the football games.

The band played at all pep rallies in addition to the ball games, parades and concerts. 39 40 Highlights In the course of a school year, stu- dents have opportunities to develop each facet of their lives. School is mainly a place for gaining knowledge, and the Sansom Rebels accomplish that. Yet, knowledge means more than learn- ing from a textbook. It means compet- ing, celebrating, winning, losing, cry- ing, laughing, campaigning, working, and sharing. LOOKING BACK on the past year at Emma Sansom High School brings to mind the time spent participating in various school activities. From any POINT OF VIEW the final and by far the most monumental highlight of the student's life is graduation! This is the end of a way of life and a fresh beginning for a new and exciting future life. Highlights of Emma Sansom Combine Studying, Planning, Competing RIGHT: Tramp, tramp go the hurrying feet as Sansom's citizens change classes each day.

It was held on December 7, 1967 in the gym at 8:00 p.m. Twenty girls had been chosen from each class as semi-finalists. From these girls, judges had chosen six finalists from each class. The final selection was made on this memorable night. The girls were interviewed in suits by the judges and then were viewed in formal gowns. The setting enhanced the program and trans- formed our gym into a forest at Christmas time.

There were many win- ning projects, but the largest ovation belongs to Larry Lewis. Larry’s project on—The Ioncraft-Research and Development has won fourth place in the Interna- tional Science Fair for the past two years. Last year he won the NASA top award and was listed by virtue of this in the 1968 edition of The World Book Encyclopedia. This year he was not eligible for this award but won First Place in the Army Aviation division, instead. If flying saucers ever become a common mode of travel among Americans, much of the credit may belong to Emma Sansom’s Larry Lewis.

Where did it come from? ... strange things are happening ... but who is causing them ... Is Steve really a vampire? All of these questions were answered in this year’s Junior- Senior Play which made its annual presentation on May 14 at Elliott Grammer School. ABOVE: Sue (Karen Klein) is warned by her Aunt Enid (Carolyn Gray) to stay away from the casket because strange things may happen.

RIGHT: At last the long awaited time arrives and the Seniors and their dates enjoy their last meal together as the Class of 68! 73 Graduation 1968: “The Saddest Day of As the dreams of a lifetime arc caught up in a ■whirl of the present and future, we finally begin to realize that a period of our lives is coming to a close. The cliches fly— The saddest day of our lives ...” The happiest ...” Graduation is a day that means something different to each high school student, yet it wraps up all the stand-by feelings for everybody. All of us held a somewhat different POINT OF VIEW concerning the occasion. Monday, May 27, 1968, was a day of rush and excitement, a day of moments of contemplation. Somehow though, the old cliches grew to an in- describable sensitivity ... to life, and to living and to what living is all about. This day was a thought provoking one and brought insights of reality to many. For all the fun, excitement, worry, hope, and dreams that seized our time in high school will now be replaced by the responsibilities that are in store for us in the future. ABOVE: Members of the Class of '68 listen intently to the last official words uttered to them by Mr. James Akers, Principal.

Faculty FROM AFAR it seems that a teacher has an apparent Utopia; but of course this is impossible. For the responsibility of generat- ing the fragile and imperceptible experience of learning belongs chiefly to the ad- ministration and faculty. The teacher guides the student in a search for knowledge, en- courages him to try again when his efforts are less than successful, and somehow persuades him to want much for himself, whenever ambition lags. UP CLOSE the paper work of endless reports and tiresome tests becomes notice- able and plays the major role in the teacher’s work load. But this too is not the whole story—for a teacher is a true leader and there are many rewards in this. No matter what your POINT OF VIEW ... the students of Emma Sansom owe the faculty a great deal. 79 RIGHT: MR. ROBERT G JOHNSON, who was assistant principal at Emma Sansom from 1963-66, enjoys working out at the YMCA and his church work at the First Methodist Church.

ROBERT G. JOHNSON Coordinator of Federal Programs 80 School Board and Superintendent Shape School Policies Consisting of only five members, the Board of Education has a very large job. Mainly they shape and administer the policies for the entire Gadsden city school system. In addition they set the salaries of all principals, teachers, teacher's aids, and janitors. | This sum adds up to nearly all of their budget, in ; fact 85% of it. They have several programs that they sponsor, but I the main one is the Neighborhood Youth Corps. I Over the summer many improvements were made I here at Sansom. Some of these improvements were I paving the parking lot behind the school and build- I ing the entrance over the gym. DR.

The knowledge that he cares about each individual student endears him to the student body of ESH. Mr. Akers takes a vital interest in his community by par- ticipating in various activities. He is an active member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Also this year he has been elected President of the Alabama City Civitans. Since he came in the fall of 1965, as our Principal, Mr. Akers has brought a fresh sense of pride and dignity to the student body of Emma Sansom High. He is a man of honor and integrity, whose standards inspire the highest ideals in every' phase of our school life. MR.

Working together, students be- come interested in the school as a whole. Organizations also serve as a break in the busy routine of classes. For the first time clubs were scheduled to meet during a special activity period held every Wednes- day. Sometimes the actual club is forgotten in the sea of faces, but wait ... it’s the people who make up the organization. Without them, there would be no dances, no Junior-Senior Play, no newspaper, no ANNUAL! 93 SEATED: Jessica McGee, Senior; Hilda Agan.

Student Council Members Have Many Duties Mr. Rip Reagan Sponsor Mr. Grady Norton Sponsor Composed of the presidents of each homeroom, officers of each class—sophomore, junior, and sen- ior—and Student Council Officers, the Student Council performs many functions during the school year. Perhaps two of the most important are the distribution of school books in the fall, and the setting up of parking places for all students who drive to school. The Student Council sells pur- ple and gold shakers, pencils with the football schedule printed on them, and school stickers, to raise spirit and support from the stu- dents. Besides planning school activities for the student body’s enjoyment, such as, the Christmas Ball which is financed by candy sales, they handle all elections and provide for our devotionals each morning. The main purpose is to estab- lish a good relationship between faculty and students. 94 Sherry Neal Larry Lewis Cynthia Cress Treasurer Vice-President Secretary Officers Prove To Be Responsible Leaders Student Council officers, who were elected at the end of last year, represented more than a simple President, Vice- President, Secretary, and Treasurer; because they performed many duties and were responsible for many projects. The president, David Bowen, was responsible for making announce- ments of all kinds; presiding at Student Council meetings, and assemblies; and for representing the school in county projects. The Vice-President, Larry Lewis, who was the only Junior officer, presided when the President was unable to. Secretary, Cynthia Cress, worked very hard to plan and co- ordinate the dances and projects undertaken by the Student Council. Sherry Neal, the Treasurer, kept the books and all the finances of the Student Council in order. Although for the first time last year only one student ran for the offices of President, Vice-President, and Secretary; the entire student body felt that these people lived up to the trust placed in them. Three girls ran for the office of Treasurer. Even though it was a close race, Sherry Neal was elected by popular vote. All of the officers worked toward a common goal—the betterment of the school.

Alpha Tri-Hi-Y Sponsors First Boys’ Beauty Pageant High school girls who were committed to the pur- pose of creating, maintaining, and extending through- out the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character were members of the Tri-Hi-Y. To develop personal integrity and self discipline; to perform useful home, school, church, and com- munity services; and to practice democratic methods were the main objectives of Emma Sansom’s chapter of the Tri-Hi-Y. The Tri-Hi-Y emblem is a small triangle and a torch inscribed in a circle in the center. The triangle has long been the emblem of the YMCA of which the Tri-Hi-Y is a part. The Alpha Tri-Hi-Y sold candy and sponsored the first Boys’ Beauty Pageant as their main money- raising projects. ABOVE: SEATED: Jessica McGee, President.

One of the goals of this year's club is to help each family member recognize her abilities and strive for her full development. Four special projects were undertaken by the girls this year. Cookies made by the girls were taken to the children at Talladega Hospital. Next, they spon- sored a school beautification project. Special gifts were taken to the patients of the local nursing home. The only money-making project of the club was that of selling cook books. All members of the home economics classes are entitled to membership and are encouraged to join the club. Those students who arc members must par- ticipate in all of the activities and projects of the club. OFFICERS: SEATED. Cathy Gamble.

La Societe Honoraire de Franqais To be admitted to the Trench National Honor Society, one must have a ninety-two or above average in Trench, and an eighty-five or above average in all other subjects. There can be no more than two C‘s for a semester average and no D's or T's. One must also be in the fourth semester of Trench. Mrs. McKee, the sponsor, and Mr. Akers make the final decision on the would-be members. Each year the Trench National Honor Society is required to have a project which must be reported to the national club, with which this chapter is af- filiated. This year presents were given at Christmas time to a select group of ten patients at McGuffey’s Nursing Home. The club also contributed to the Na- tional Honor Society’s project, which was the collec- tion of $25 or more to light one of the Christmas tree lights for the Salvation Army.

Week Observed by Sansom Chapter Students in the Distributive Education Pro- gram had common objectives and interests in that each was studying for a specific career. A D.E. student received wages for the job he did and at the same time he received valuable job training. National D.E.C.A. Week was observed No- vember 3-11, 1967, by Sansom to point out the many and varied careers available within the field of merchandise distribution. This program was observed throughout the city and was a great success. Goals of the program were to develop a re- spect for education in which marketing and distri- bution would contribute to vocational compe- tence. This would also promote understanding and appreciation for the responsibilities of citi- zenship in our free, competitive-enterprise system.

This society is founded upon, the principle that true education creates a well-rounded personality. To create enthusiasm for scholarship and to stimu- late a desire to render service, to promote leadership and to encourage the development of students of Emma Sansom High School is the purpose of the National Honor Society. Membership is based on scholarship, service, lead- ership, attitude, and character. To be eligible for membership, a student must have spent one semester at Emma Sansom. A record of all A’s” and B's” and no more than two C’s” is a required scholastic achievment for admission to candidacy for member- ship in the chapter. Final selection of members is made by the faculty on the basis of leadership, serv- ice, and character. Members kept grade records of all students at San- som. This was done by assigning each member one homeroom. The grades were recorded each six weeks, as had been done in the past. Meetings of the society were held once a month during the special activity period on Wednesdays. Members were required to attend all meetings and contribute annually the sum of one dollar as chapter dues. An induction ceremony was held in March, at which time new members were inducted. 120 SEATED: Cathy Watson, Cathy Gamble, Jessica McGee, Cathy sponsor, Linda Preston, Mike Dupree, Mike Ware, David Dial, Joan Turner, Susan Conwill, Kathy Brothers, Kathy Moore, David Bowen, C.

Each year, the society attempts a project in pur- suit of at least two purposes of the National Honor Society. This year, as last, the chapter, with the co- operation of school clubs and the student body, per- formed its civic service project by assisting the Sal- vation Army at Christmas time. The society and stu- dent body contributed $128.15 to this worthy cause. This was a record total, and five lights on the Christ- mas tree were lighted as a result. The second project is the presentation of scholarship certificates to stu- dents with all A's” and B's” every six weeks of the year. A special program was held in the audi- torium for the presentation of this honor. Miss Martin gives members Cathy Dial, Mike Ware, and Patty Roch signs to put up in each of the homerooms before Christmas. These were to remind the students of the society's project. 121 TALISMAN Staff Present Theme as .

L. Penland Memorial RIGHT: All boys who play football, basketball, or base- ball were invited to the annual banquet as guests of the Emma Sansom S Club Alumni. David Moore, who lettered in basketball and baseball was presented the R. L. Pen- land Memorial Award at the annual S” Club Banquet held in March at the Holiday Inn. This award is given to the Sansom athlete who is considered best all around as a two-sport athlete, church member, civic and community leader and standout in the classroom. The special guest speaker for the evening was Bill Peterson of Florida State Uni- versity. He told the footballers, who had only a 1-8-1 record this year, that they did not have to apologize for having a losing season because they learned a valuable lesson by sticking with the school when the going wasn't easy. Also on the pro- gram were Melton Burgess, President of the S” Club; Terry Harris, Vice-President; and Hal Hayes, emcee. ABOVE: Special guest speaker for the annual S Club Banquet, Florida State Coach Bill Peterson, told the boys, that learning to get along with people and working together is more important than the actual score of a game.

Cheerlead- ing is a full-time job. Our five cheerleaders have practiced and worked many long hours in order to perfect their routines and cheers. The students realize this and call our Cheerleaders ... the best yet! RIGHT: During halftime of the San- som versus Section basketball game, the Cheerleaders lead the spectators in a rousing cheer for victory! 180 — the Best Yet!

The talent show proved to be a huge success and provided funds for next year's cheerleader uniforms. 182 Classes ESH Classes are made up of three select groups” But to go a little deeper, these groups” are made up of ... the in- dividuals of Emma Sansom High School. First we see—the Sophomores, who LOOK UP to the awe-inspiring upperclassmen. Next come the Juniors, who LOOK BACK to the sometimes happy, sometimes sad mo- ments of the lowest underclassmen. Last but by no means least are—the Seniors, who LOOK DOWN on the underclassmen because ... a Senior can truthfully say, I’ve been there before! There are many different POINTS OF VIEW on this subject, but each one depends on the individual involved. But try to con- sider if you can the other group's” side. The classes are very important ... for without them, where would good ole ESH” be? 183 Sophomores Led by Two Enthusiastic Faculty Members SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS for 1968 are: Mike ditionally speaking, they must LOOK UP—to the honor, Arthur, Treasurer; Shirley Robertson, Vice-President; Ella position, and privileges of being an upperclassman. Ruth Smith, Secretary; and Jimmy Snow, President. Tra- Under the capable leadership of their sponsors and of- ficers, the class of '70 has shown their spirit in many ways. These Sophomores came in the fall of 1967, will- ing and eager to make the next three years the,best yet! They displayed their enthusiasm at pep rallies and ball games, and despite all the worrying, they managed to display their float in the Homecoming parade. This is the first time Sansom has housed only three grades for the entire year. But the class of '70 was our most experienced youngest class. This was because they had been here before, while they were waiting for the completion of the ninth grade facilities added to General Forrest last year. This and many other factors prove what the Sophomores say .. We’re not Angels, We're not Heavenly, We’re the Class of 1970. Mrs. Betty Pruett and Mrs. Vernell Bowen are the Sophomore Class sponsors. They have contributed much in the way of enthusiasm and planning. They worked very hard to make Homecoming the success that it was. 84 Sophomores Abney, Robert Array, Richard Adair, Dale Addison, Sue Alexander, Danny Amos, Mike Anderson, Ricky Andrews, Robert Armstrong, Wayne Arthur, Mike Ashley, Gary Bagley, Jerry Wayne Baker, Dianne Balcomb, Peggy Ball, Toni Barfield, Leslie Barlow, Phyllis Barron.

The Class of '69 has participated in numerous activities in and around ESH. They have earned many honors, including all prizes in the school in the Voice of Democracy contest and the County Miss Mer- ry Christmas, Sherry Means. These awards have made them not only a proud class, but also a closer one. This class is guided by four responsible officers— Gary Billingsley—President; Danny Clayton—Vice- President; Donna Bellamy—Secretary; and Benny Ar- cher—Treasurer. As they look forward to their senior year, they again proclaim that ... We Are Great, We Are Fine, We're the Class of '69! 194 Juniors Abies, Mike Abney, Judy Allison, Darlene Almon, Judie Archer, Benny Argo, Martha Armstrong, Guy Bailey, Claudette Barnes, Mary Anne Bearden, Mary Jane Bellamy, Donna Bel lew.

It has been one of the best academic classes Sansom has had in years, with a record number of members in the honor clubs. For a Senior, this year has been one of mixed feelings ... sometimes happy, sometimes sad. But they will always remember it as their best year! The Class of '68 couldn't be beaten in the Homecoming float contest! The final master- piece, Derail Those Wildcats, won the coveted title of first prize for them, again. (By the way —they also won their Junior year and also their Sophomore year). Although graduation will divide this class, the many challenges this class has met will pro- vide memories that no one could ever forget.

Advertisements are wise invest- ments and bring returns far above their costs. They are an advantage to both the businessmen and to ESH students. The businessmen’s ads are brought into close contact with people from far and near, for people from various places possess a TALISMAN Yearbook. The advertise- ments benefit ESH students. The selling of advertisement space helps to defray the cost of the yearbook to the students. From our POINT OF VIEW, our city is based on the progress of the business- men.
