TALISMAN 1969 Emma Sansom High School 11 Gadsden, Alabama TABLE OF CONTENTS Faculty Curriculum Interests Organizations Athletics People Classes Advertisements FOREWORD The various sequences of time ... we remember the ones that were special ... the ones that molded our characters ... made our future. Recalling the best of times we turn a page to that exciting moment ... the worst of times remains hard to forget ... the age of foolishness reflects happy moments with friends . .. the age of competition ... a reminder of hard work towards success ... the spring of hope ... a time of wanting to be on top—to be named the best ... the winter of despair ... disappointing times when little things seem to hurt so much. Each sequence as reminding as the other ... all important in the role of maturity . . . showing the way to cope with different problems ... how to live with things that don't quite go our way. Turning the pages of the 1969 TALISMAN, a memory can be found as easily as it was made ... a past re-lived ... a present made better ... and a future just waiting to be discovered. It was the best of times . . ... the first ball game when we showed the Tigers a little Rebel spirit ... the cheering crowds ... bonfires ... ghost walks ... meeting new people ... the feeling of victory that for so long had been dead ... winning the first homecoming game in years ... the monument ... pep rallies ... finally making a name for ourselves. 5 6 It was the worst of times . . ... beginning in late summer when we almost lost Reagan to a school that had much more to offer than we did ... being defeated when winning meant so much ... putting forth an effort to pass the tedious exams—some- times in vain ... seeing the flag at half mast and re- membering the war ... wanting to put these times aside but realizing that they are only a part of growing up. 7 It was the age of foolishness . . . ... celebrating ... laughing ... snake dances ... letting the good times often replace the studying times ... meeting between classes to invent mischief ... pulling pranks on teachers ... the day of the crazy” pep-rally ... remembering our own special group. 8 It was the age of competition . . . ... working long hours on homecoming floats—Juniors finally vic- torious ... competing for honors ... Student Council elections ... second place in the R. C.” contest ... trying to work harder, be better ... ball games ... Mid-South Marching Band Contest ... competing continuously and almost always winning. 10 I? It was the spring of hope . . . ... wanting a new auditorium but never quite getting one ... striving to attain higher goals ... the developing of a new organi- zation called Campus Crusade For Christ ... looking forward to a new tomorrow ... planning a brighter future. 13 It was the winter of despair . . . ... the times when nothing seemed to go right ... rainy days ... remembering the good times and knowing they are gone ... leaving a school that for so long had been a part of us ... empty hallways ... a class—the class of 69 recalling the times spent at E.S.H. and going their separate ways. 14 Dedication . . . . . . Coach Don Bulger To bring a team with failing spirit and pride to the ranks of a winner takes a person with a special kind of talent. This person came to us when our school and football team were down, but through patience and understanding he has made us one of the best. He taught us the law of good sportsmanship as well as the art of winning. Respected by all the students at Emma Sansom this man has become an important part of our school life. To express our appreciation for helping us regain the chance to become champions, we, the class of 1969 dedicate this edition of the TALIS- MAN to COACH DON BULGER. 17 FACULTY It was the spring of hope The teachers of E.H.S.—always hoping to make us better . . . working hours after our work is through ... planning ... worrying . .. testing. Catching a few restful moments in the teacher's lounge ... discussing students. Always willing to guide . . criticize . .. explain . .. understand. Making sure our fu- ture is stable by pushing us to learn ... wanting us to try. Doing things for our own benefit ... little for their own. Our faculty . . . those who show us the way . .. wait while we search for the answer ... remain patient when we tend to aggravate them ... keep calm when we’ve pushed them too far ... and smile when we work to please them. Always knowing what to do when no one else does ... planning dances ... sponsor- ing clubs ... leading drives ... working to make our school the very best. These people are our leaders ... the patterns from which we wish to be molded. The teachers of E.S.H.—always hoping that someday we, like they, will walk in knowl- edge. 19 Board of Education Administers School Improvement The Board of Education plays an important part in the develop- ing of the schools in Gadsden. Their main function is to shape and administer the policies for the Gadsden city school system. They decide what improvements should be made and if these improve- ments are in the best judgement for the particular school to which the improvement will be administered. It is also their job to fill any vacant teaching jobs with the teacher they feel is most capable for the job. Dr. Mort Glosser serves his third term as Superintendent of the Board of Education. Dr. Glosser was chosen by the members of the board themselves. He has the job of carrying out the policies out- lined by the Board of Education. The Director of Instruction is Mr. W. O. Briscoe. Before taking the job of Instruction Director, Mr. Briscoe served as principal at Emma Sansom. The Board of Education is made up of five members. During the year, the board sponsors many programs. One of the most important ones is the Neighborhood Youth Corps which provides students with various summer jobs to keep them occupied and earn money in the same process. DR. MORT GLOSSER Superintendent of Schools ABOVE: Many times during the school year the members of the Board of Education make trips to Sansom to discuss various problems. Mr. W. O.

Mr. James Wesley Akers came to Emma Sansom almost four years ago and since then has made many improvements to our school. His dignified ways have been admired by the many students at Emma Sansom. Mr. Akers, before becoming principal at Sansom served as a chemistry and physics teacher here. He also served for two years as principal at Litchfield Junior High School.

At Emma Sansom, there is a wide variety of math courses to choose from. These courses are—Business Math, Algebra I and Algebra II, Geometry, and Advanced Math. Visual Aids are now used to supply the students with knowledge of the modern day mathematics methods. Different courses serve different purposes for the student. For instance, if the student is planning to attend college it is best for him to take courses in Algebra I, and Algebra II, and Geometry. These courses are required to enter college. If the student is interested in furthering his knowledge in mathematics, he may take a course known as Advanced Math. This course covers plane ‘trigonometry, analytic geometry, and calculus. The students who do not wish to attend college find Business Math helpful to them in everyday problems. Mathematics is an essential part of the curriculum. It is used in many different ways for many different things. RIGHT: Mrs. Hefner listens attentively as Chris McMahan explains a problem in Algebra II class. 34 LEFT: Mr. Gadson corrects Russ Bul- ger's homework paper while explaining how to add and subtract sets. Part of Modern Studies LEFT: Mr. Gadson shows on the blackboard the equation of an angle. Students in first year Al- gebra find that equations play a major role in the field of mathematics. RIGHT: Debra Carroll and Michael Boyd, students in Mrs. Hefner's geometry class find that working problems on the board help them find mistakes much easier to cor- rect. LEFT: Carol Griffith seeks help with a problem. Mathematics is one of the many courses that requires full explana- tion to make problems much easier to understand. 35 History Students Rely on Weekly Newspapers as a Source of Current Events RIGHT: Students in American Government spend a few extra class minutes going over the many articles provided in the Student Weekly which they receive each week. LEFT: Miss Nelle Martin, American History teacher, points to the place where the famous gold rush took place. 36 RIGHT: Coach Walter Holt watches as one of his World History students composes an essay on the effects of the two world wars. Today history is a very important part of stu- dent curriculum. History is needed today to understand the past events. To achieve this understanding, students at Emma Sansom need to take at least two courses in history. To graduate, a student must take a course in American Government and Economics. A course in Communism is included in this series of study. To learn about the past events of the United States and the world, students find American History and World History vital courses to take. In the courses of American Government, Eco- nomics, and Communism, the students learn how their country is set up and the advantages of liv- ing under the United States Constitution. In American History classes, the students keep up with recent events by receiving the Current Eients paper which sums up weekly happenings. In American Government, students receive the Student Weekly which is a supplement of the New York Times. Even today, history is in the making since elec- tions have just been held. The American Gov- ernment classes sponsored a straw poll which showed how the E.S.H. students would have voted had they been given the privilege. The results showed former Alabama Governor George C. Wallace as the favored candidate. ABOVE: World History teacher Nick Pendley, points to an unknown student in his plight to receive an answer to an important question. World History is a course which refreshes students on the occur- rences of world affairs such as world wars and famous battles. LEFT: American Govern- ment student. Gary Rich- ardson gives a speech on his weekly newspaper. These speeches provide students with extra points sometimes needed to pass the course. RIGHT: Mrs. Vernell Bowen, instructor of bi- ology, makes sure all her students have turned in their outside repotts.

RIGHT: Coach Gary Muskett lis- tens as Ronnie Lumpkin asks him how to outline the chapter in his General Science Book pertaining to the formation of clouds. Gen- eral Science is only one of the five science courses taught at Sansom. 38 Students Receive Scientific Knowledge Through Explanation The Department of Science offers to the students at Emma Sansom five principal courses. These are: General Science, Earth Science, Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. In General Science, the students receive a basic knowl- edge of the natural sciences. Biology offers two parts for the students to choose from: General Biology and B.S.C.S. Biology. These courses instruct students on the anatomy of animals and man. Earth Science explains itself in its name. A little harder are the courses in Chemistry and Physics. These two courses deal with laboratory work rather than details of science. Sansom is very proud of its many science courses. ABOVE: Students in BSCS Biology gather around Patsy Thompson to observe the process of dissection. BELOW: Coach Bobby Russell answers individual questions when he is asked tt) do so, Steve Bullock. Debra Carroll, and Bobby Browning remaip for a few minutes after class for an explanation of the law of gravity. 39 RIGHT: In Sophomore English gram- mar is held to be the most important part. Mrs. Betty Pruett stands over Susan Gray who diagrams orally the structure of a compound sentence. English Holds Many Values LEFT: Senior English classes use for their projects in literature the production of various plays. Mrs. Robinson s English class this year acted out the play Macbeth by the famous English playwright William Shakespeare. Some of the characters por- trayed arc from left to right: Larry Lewis (Mal- colm), James Hockensmith (Macbeth), and Johnny Chambers (Macduff). RIGHT: Junior Lnanc casterwood defines words which arc an essenrial part to a Junior’s vocabulary. MaS 40 The values that English courses hold consist of English grammar and composition, literature, play- acting, and outside reading. The course consists of two-thirds grammar and about one-third literature. Spelling tests, creative writ- ings, and novels are some of the characteristics of the English part of our curriculum. The Sophomore classes learned to express them- selves through writings such as Julius Caesar and Silas Martier while the Junior English students por- trayed the characters who lived in the story Our Town. With Senior English came the preparation for col- lege curriculum. They made their way through one of Shakespeare's greatest—Macbeth. Term papers and three and six minute speeches burdened the Senior Class. All of these tasks made way for a better under- standing of English for Sansom students. Under the instruction of Mrs. Aulta Corbett, Miss Sarah Robinson, Mrs. Betty Pruett, Miss Sue Ellen Thompson, and Mrs. Audrey Culver students learned the many values of English. ABOVE: Sherry Means. Candy Mackey, and Nicky Jackson find within play- acting and drama one of the values of English. RIGHT: Teaching English isn't all work and doesn't require being locked up in the classroom. English instructor. Miss Sue Ellen Thompson takes a few moments to assist the TALISMAN Staff with their annual beauty pageant. Lab Assistants Aid Teachers in Stressing Foreign Languages The two courses in foreign language taught at Sansom are French and Spanish. They are taught by Mrs. Geneva McKee and Mrs. Charlotte Ryan respectively. French classes learn of the habits and manner of speaking that the French people actually use. Verb conjugation is the main point stressed in French classes. Translation practices and learning to make conversation are two other important factors that are dealt with in French. There are three years of French offered to the student at Sansom. Fie may take all three or discontinue the course after one or two years. Spanish is an interesting course. The Spanish students are taught the language as well as the living environment and customs of the Spanish speaking people. Students taking Spanish and French are eligible for admittance into the Spanish and French clubs. ABOVE LEFT: Patricia McAlpin, Lab Assistant for French I points out to Karen Allred the verb con- jugation of the word be.” RIGHT: Mrs. Ryan calls out dictation to her first year Spanish class. The students must answer by giving the English translation for the Spanish word. ABOVE RIGHT: French II is a more difficult sub- ject than French I. Mike Arthur seeks help with a translation from Dixie Minatra, lab assistant for Mrs. McKee's French II class. LEFT: French III students gather around to have a class discussion. These discussions are spoken entirely in French. Students eligible for French III are those who have completed two years of French. LEFT: Mrs. McKee tells her French I class the im- portance of learning a foreign language. At first, French seems awkward to the students who are not used to another language but when things become easier to understand, the course doesn't seem so hard. 42 Business Education Provides Valuable The commercial courses provide prac- tice in all fundamental business practices for those students who plan to make a career out of the knowledge they ob- tain from the business courses. There are many parts to the business courses: Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Typ- ing and Office Practice. All of these courses are the founda- tion for most of the clerical positions sought by students in an office. Training ABOVE: Students in typing concentrate on 5-minute time writings. After the writing they arc required to add the errors and count their words per minute. ABOVE: Student teacher. Miss Adna Garrett assists Donna Bellamy with one of the office machines. LEFT: Mrs. Hillmann explains some new short- hand words to her class 43 Electives Offer Varied Interests There are many different elective courses offered at Sansom this year. Among these are two of the newest courses: Music Theory and Psychology. Courses such as art, vocal, music, music theory, and band offer the student a chance to express his talents in various ways. These electives are very popular among the Sansom students. A course such as library gives students a chance to catch up on last minute assignments before going to classes. In shop and mechanical drawing, boys are trained for a future in an industrial type career while girls find Home Economics very useful in the making of a future home and the preparations of a family. Driver’s Education is one of the newest of all the electives. This course was begun last year and has proved itself useful in teaching young teenagers how to drive. Another of the newer electives is psychology which is taught by Mr. Grady Norton. This year the psy- chology class took a trip to Bryce and viewed some of the patients there. RIGHT: Mr. Schmitz helps three of his shop students to make projects which are required as an important part of the course. BELOW': For the first time at Sansom, Music Theory is being taught to those students interested in a career in the field of music. Mrs. Florence Murphy along with Mr. Billy Rip Reagan are the instructors of the course. BELOW': Mr. Grady Norton explains a psy- chology problem to Hoody Tyler. This is the first time that this course has been offered at Sansom and has proved useful to the students in everyday problems. 44 LEFT: Students in library find this elective one of the most worthwhile courses of all. It gives the student time for extra studying or for reading. RIGHT: Sandra Norwood works on her Home Economics project. Each girl must turn in at least two class projects and three home projects by the end of the semester. BELOW: Mrs. Athcra Christopher gives her reading class a semester test. This special class is organized to help those students who can- not comprehend words as well as others can. RIGHT: Art students Sherry Brothers, Ann Hawkins, and Debbie Reeves make Halloween masks for display in the art room. Art is a very popular elective. Taught by Mrs. Eloise Edwards, it provides talented students with time to express their talents. LEFT: Driver's Education is a course taught to assure stu- dents of the safety precautions and dangers of driving. Students are given the chance to drive with the guidance of the teacher and when they have learned enough about driv- ing they are taken for their driver's examination. 45 Boy’s Physical Education Though physical education is required it can still be fun. Exercising, when thought of as an ordinary, everyday chore, can be a task. But, when such things as wrestling, pole-vaulting, baseball, basketball, foot- ball, and track, are added to the curriculum, the mind plays on the word recreation. Sports, fun, and recreation are all a part of P.E.—the study, de- velopment, and application of building strong, healthy, and supple bodies. Strong, healthy, and supple—this is what boys are meant to be and what they will be if made to apply themselves. Under the direction of the athletic coaches, these students maintain their physical requirements. ABOVE: As Danny Henry struggles with his unknown partner he is finally overcome and is content to be thrown. LEFT: Passing time comes easy to these boys as basket- ball seems to be a favorite to all RIGHT: Attempting to pole- vault is Larry Thompson while one of the P.E. instructors looks on and gives rules to follow while participating in this sport. Mike Bodine awaits his turn to jump. 46 Girl’s Physical Education Creating physical activity and stimu- lating its importance is the signifi- cance of physical education. Performing this task is Mrs. Frances Brooks whose patience and tolerance cannot go un- mentioned. Highlighting the sometimes tiresome and strenuous exercising is volleyball, badminton, tennis, and track. Although girls may be the weaker sex, they work as hard and diligently as some boys do on this subject. Dancing, also regarded as a part of physical training, is one activity which is eagerly awaited by many of the girls. ABOVE: Everyone participates in this part of physical edu- cation—exercising. Though it is very important in the building of the body it is regarded by the girls as a lot of work. ABOVE: Volleyball is enjoyable to most everyone and especially to this student whose vigorous jumping is an asset to the team. RIGHT: Mrs. Brooks demonstrates to one of her P.E. students the correct way to hold a rope when using it for exercising. Another student, Nancy Yarbrough, looks on. DE and DO These two courses enable students to learn more about the business world. Students in Diversified Occupations obtain jobs which prepare them for their chosen careers while those in Distribu- tive Education chose jobs that don’t usually have anything to do with their career. Both classes go to school half a day and work the other half. ABOVE: Mrs. Marie McDonald checks over the grades of her DE students. LEFT: Jeff Lynch.

RIGHT: Miss Pauline Clark was in charge of the Goldentones and the Music Theory Class during the latter part of the year. Her students performed at many of the assemblies. INTERESTS “It mis the best of times The special times of our school life ... the times of growing up that added a little sparkle to the ever-so-dull days ... we remember these as main parts of the changing times. The varied interests of the Sansom student body . . . the changing fads, dances, beauty pageants, homecoming parade and ball game, magazine sales, the Sr. barbeque, Jr.-Sr. Prom, and at last the turning point of it all ... graduation. Days of anticipation ... of w-anting to know what would be coming next, make up these interests. Each Rebel with his own personal ideas ... his own personal interests. Campus Crusade for Christ which brought many of the Sansom students to know another interest . . . one not centered entirely around themselves but centered around someone more powerful and more extreme, voting for student council officers . . . choosing someone capable and well-liked, the day of the turnabout pep-rally . .. when majorettes turned into cheerleaders and girls turned into a football team . . . these are only a few of the interests that enhance our student body. We remember well these times ... they taught us the meaning of laughter and fun and the value of friendship. The interests of those around us and of ourselves ... a major part of the changing times yet only a minor part of our changing lives . . . hardly remembered as the years go by but for now .. . practically indispensable. 51 Variety of Activities Make Up Student Interests RIGHT: One of the activities finished this year at Sansom was the painting of all the classrooms.

The meetings were then held in the bandroom. Paul Fleishman, Winston Ken- nedy, Adele Buckbee, and Linda Carlson led the meetings. These four people served as both friend and ad- visor to many of the Sansom stu- dents.

Athletics ... sometimes boisterous . . . the loud sound of cheering crowds, the shak- ing of rafters, the stomping of feet—sometimes silent ... the silence of determination ... defeat . .. satisfaction ... the silence of a handshake at the end of a hard fought game. Football season ... the snapping of a pigskin ... crashing helmets ... first downs ... a Charity Bowl victory. Basketball . .. the tension and heat of a crowded gymnasium ... the sound of a ball falling through a basket. The season of baseball . .. the cracking of a ball meeting a bat ... homcruns ... strike-outs . .. signals from the dug-out. The last of the seasons ... track . .. gold sweatsuits ... dust ... running ... jumping ... stop watches clicking. These are Sansom athletics . .. the time of competition when winning meant so much and losing meant so little. Muffled sounds from the huddle . .. the desire to win ... to try a little harder when the prize is a championship ... to work without discourage- ment until only defeat can stop us. The pride of be- ing greeted after a game by a happy student body ... in defeat as well as victory. The encouraging word, That’s okay we'll get 'em next time! ''You fought all the way, Johnny Reb!” ... a slogan that describes the Sansom athletes for in 1968-69 they fought all the way ... until the end. 118 Lynn Thompson Line Coach Don Bulger Head Coach Bobby Russell Back Coach Rebel Coaches Lead the Way The Rebel team of 1968-69 was led by three capable and dependable men.

It was a thrilling game all the way with Gadsden scoring first but before too long a Browning to Robertson touchdown pass put Sansom out in front 7-6.- Gadsden scored once more before the game's end but Sansom, after a brilliant last drive, was stopped by an interception at the ten-yard line. It was only then, with seconds left, that assured their opponents a victory. Outstanding players in the game were Robert Rob- ertson, Bobby Browning, Daniel Kimble, Billy Daniel, and Gary Billingsley.

The Jackets scored first but the Rebels came right back to tie the score. For three quarters, the two teams exchanged scores and by the end of the third quarter it was 21-21. In the last quarter Oxford became too much for the Rebels, scored, and came up with a six point lead at the end of the game. Standouts for the game were Inman, Browning, Show, Sprayberry and Easterwood. ABOVE: Near the end of the third quarter in the game against Gadsden High, quarterback Bobby Browning prepares to pass the ball in his attempt to gain yardage. 122 Four Members of Rebel Squad Make NEAC Rebels Crush Fort Payne 40-14 Superb offense and a stout defense gave the Rebels the first victory of the season—Rebels versus Fort Payne in a game that spelled Rebels all the way. Along with the offensive scoring of 40 points the defense held Fort Payne to only two first downs the entire game. Freeman, McNutt, Colvin, and Haynie were some of the Rebs who looked good during the game. This game began the winning season for the Rebs and boosted the spirit of the team and fans as well.

The excellent kicking of Charles Easter- wood gave the Rebels extra points needed to raise the score. Outstanding players were Kimble, Bil- lingsley, Snow, Haynie, Inman, Browning, and Brasher. This homecoming victory was the first in some time for the Rebels and it was a good showing. 123 Anniston Shocks Rebels Takes 21-14 Comeback Victory Everything was going just as expected for the first half of the game. But when Annis- ton came back the second half they caught our Rebs by surprise and took an astonishing 21-14 victory. Although the score would indicate other- wise, the Rebels played a fine game and had many outstanding plays. Among the better players of the game were Gary McFarland and Billy Daniel.

Sansom Wins Over Albertville 17-7 Sansom kept up with its winning ways over a fired up group of Albertville Aggies.

This was part of the changing times as Sophomores changed into Juniors, Juniors became Seniors, and Seniors said good-bye to the past and looked toward their future. Competition ... the last of the Soulful 60's—Class of 1969 ... the spirit of '70 ... sock it to 'em Sophomores. Classes make up the cheering crowds ... the mass confusion after the final bell ... the solemn c)uiet during morning devotion. The Sansom population ... the leader ... the follower ... the older ... the younger. Sansom students are Rebels ... shaking rafters during ball games ... selling magazines ... standing proud when defeated. Seniors ... college bound ... preparing for tomorrow. Juniors ... planning the prom ... winning float competition. Sophomores ... ever-growing ... still learning. These are the Sansom classes ... changing with the times. 179 Sophomores . . . Class of 1971 ... as youth we come, molding ourselves into the leavers of tomorrow . . . finding our way in this big world . . . searching for dreams and the answers to our questions . . . then the times change and we find ourselves searching no more for we have found—and the things that were once so hard to understand seem a little bit easier to explain .. Mrs. Vernell Bowen, Mrs. Betty Pruett Sponsors sieve Dupree President Faye Murray Gwen Addison Dale Ledbetter Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The Sophomores came to Sansom with a fear in their minds of being rookied ... taken ad- vantage of ... and tormented. But through all the torture and humility they have come through to make a successful year for themselves. A member of their class won first place in the annual Voice of Democracy” contest while still other members showed their talents in the Class Day” skits. Sophomores took part in all the Sansom ac- tivities and added spirit to pep rallies and ball games. Going to a school for the first time and learn- ing about all the rules and regulations ... fads ... teachers ... and other students is hard and sometimes may seem rather scary but this group made themselves grow both as individuals and as a class and are ready to carry on the pride of Sansom. 180 Sophomores RIGHT: These Sophomores study hard to begin their long climb to reach the height of a Senior.

Mrs. Elaine Hefner, Miss Mary Boyd Sponsors Jimmy Snow Shirley Robertson Ella Ruth Smith President Vice-President Secretary Dianne Pruett T reasurer The class of 1970 can best be described as a Class of Champions. Representing the class was the TALISMAN Beauty Queen; two NEAC football players; and also, on the bas's of athletics, a member of the Class of '70 was chosen as Sear's Player of the Week. The ambition of this class has made them winners in many ways. Working together with one goal in mind, the scheming and planning of these students won for them the 1968-69 Homecoming float compe- tition. Co-operation and much hard work was required in making the Junior-Senior Prom the success it was and for this and other reasons the Juniors of 1969 will be remembered. The Class of 1970, changing with the times, will soon become the Seniors of tomorrow fac- ing the world with a little more knowledge than they had before. 190 Juniors Richard Acray Danny Alexander RIGHT: Regina Ledbetter and her Rabbit from Wonder- land pose at the beauty pag- eant along with the other storybook characters. ham Mike Arthur Rickey Anderson Gary Ashley Toni Ball Leslie Barfield Mike Barron Reba Bartlett James Battles Linda Baty Donald Bellamy Dorothy Bel lew Robert Bel lew 191 Calvin Bishop Peggy Bishop Mike Bodine Karen Boland Benny Bowen Mary Breasseal Jackie Bridges Gloria Brooks Spirit-Filled Juniors Anticipate Senior Year RIGHT: The Junior Class prepares their winning float for judging.

Seniors . . . Class of 1969 ... the sleepy years of a Sophomore dreaming of the person he will someday be melts into the realization year of a Junior searching for the person he knows he ought to be ... then turn around—you're a Senior . .. that crazy year of mixed emotions . .. that year of finally finding personal identity.. Miss Nolle Martin Sponsor Steve Bullock President Hoody Tyler Vice-President Audrey Lankford Secretary Donna Bellamy Treasurer The class of 1969 entered the halls of Emma Sansom as the last Freshman class. Since then they have grown with the true spirit of a Rebel, giving all they have and putting forth every effort to make their class the very best. Superb athletic performances gave two mem- bers of their class the honored title of being chosen NEAC Player, s holastic performances gave them winners of the ''Voice of Democracy contest for three years in a row, and although they never won float competition at Homecom- ing, they boasted a Queen chosen from their class. These Seniors changed with the time ... grew a little more mature ... a little more aware ... and a little more confident to face the world when the time of graduation came. The name of a Senior is a proud title ... one acclaimed as the highest rank in high school— but the name Senior '69 is yet a prouder one ... to those so called it is the highest rank in the world! 200 In Memory of Jimmy Suggs November 4, 1 949 — November 2, 1 968 In the summer of his years” Tragedy in youth is one of the realities of life that we as young people have not learned to accept, especially when friends and classmates are taken by the unseeing eye of unfortunate hap- penings. We find it hard to believe that one day we chat merrily together; the next, there is an empty desk ... an unanswered roll. So, in memory of a Senior, the Senior Class of 1969 would like to set aside this page of the '69 TALISMAN in memory of Jimmy Suggs _ because we loved him. We have wept openly and silently as a weekend tragedy erased his life. A life that was as much a part of Sansom as a part of ours. His loss is the part of life we find so difficult to accept.

Graduation . . . Going Forth Into the World On May 30, 1969 another class made history by graduating from the halls of Sansom into the world. The Seniors of 1969.. with mixed emotions, fears, and outlooks on life said good-bye to each other with- out the knowledge of their future. . knowing not when and if their paths will ever meet. Some will become doctors, lawyers, housewives, business men and women, mothers, fathers, or teach- ers and some will just drift along searching from one place to another. The highlight of it all... graduation when for the first time those twelve long years proved to be worth- while. Days of studying, pushing, and attaining knowl- edge turn into days of remembering and applying such knowledge with that one last night. These Seniors finally realized the thrill of walking across a lighted stage, extending a hand, and walk- ing off again. This moment matures them more than almost anything. On this night Sansom said good-bye to the last of the 60's with the greatest class ever—THE CLASS OF 1969! 228 THE 1969 GRADUATING SENIORS Knowing Not If Our Paths Will Ever Meet RIGHT: The Senior Class waits outside while the organist begins to play ’ Pomp and Circumstance. to RIGHT: Picture taking and posing are character- istics of the graduates and their parents. Steve Black disgustedly poses for a picture before the ceremony. LEFT: The room changes from the beauty of a graduating class and those who came to see them to the silence and emptiness of teenagers who have passed through one portal to another. appeared aI midmorning in my youth, peering into the mirror—inquiring of myself. I was naked and alone, an intruder, an alien in their midst. Eternal questions lay brooding on my lips. I wandered through the chaos of knowledge search- ing in solitude. Suddenly there came cries of Conform! Conform! Yet some said in quieter voices No. Seek knowl- edge. With them 1 continued my search down a hundred obscure paths. They said that God is dead . . . that I did not exist apart from my environment. My soul screamed ... protest ... escape. Then they taught me to honor past beginnings and I laughed aloud ... as I learned unholy severance from tradition. And I laughed again at the parody of my own reflection. They gave me a role and I played it ... I strutted and fretted my hour on stage . .. while they applauded or denounced ... or merely Hatched with the unseeing eye of indifference. Yet I found some with whom I could share the ad- venture of becoming ... if only for a brief moment. Then I comprehended . .. the flame of creation re- vealed the answer to the eternal questions: from the implements of creativity are forged the keys to knowl- edge of life ... for creativity enables concrete strength and beauty to arise from the synthesis of minds once en- raptured by the insignificant. I looked again into the mirror. I saw that they were the nn-nnmbered reflections of myself ... I say that the mirror is Sansom. BELOW Before the ceremony everyone remains calm but after - wards(l) the thrill of being a graduate gets the better of some of the students.

ADVERTISEMENTS ‘7f was the age of competition ' This is the time of great competitors, the age of competition. In years gone by, advertising was small, cramped, and totally without imagination. As times change so do the people. In this time, this marvelous year of 1969, the not so young ideas of the struggle for more and better freedoms have emerged into reality. It is seen, heard, and felt in every' part of our lives, especially in the field of advertising. The ads in our annual play a very important role. The merchants not only present themselves to the public but also sponsor the annual at the same time. They are given a choice of what size advertisement to buy and through competition they decide. Each wants his ad to be the most appealing to the consumer. We would like to give a sincere Thanks, to the merchants of our city, the com- petitors of our time for making this year the best sales year for our ads. You see, we too must compete with others to succeed and progress in These Changing Times. 233 'Total attendance at Noccalula Falls From January 1 through November 16, 1968,—649,955 LES GILLILAND Mayor CITY OF GADSDEN ALABAMA JOE HUBBARD Associate Commissioner Public Safety HOYT A.

Together they made up a school . .. and they called it Sansom. Together they made up teams, organizations, and a student body. Sometimes they came home with trophies only to he greeted by proud and happy classmates and sometimes they returned with broken hearts to be greeted by the same classmates . .. still filled with pride—even in defeat. These were the kids who lattghed to- gether ... who cried together . .. who dis- cussed serious problems together and who joked together. These were the kids who fell in love and out of love whenever the times changed them. These teenagers, like all teenagers, became discouraged with teachers and parents _____ mixed up about life ... and unsure about their future. The times are ever-changing and with the changing of times occurs the changing of people. In a number of years these teenagers will look back on the happy and unhappy times at E.S.H. and as they turn through this TALISMAN will be able to recapture the most exciting of their memories. They will find themselves recalling faces of people whom they thought they had com- pletely forgotten—someone they haven't seen since graduation; then they will see the face of someone they saw just the other day ... 268 Changed With the Times . . . Epilogue 269 f i . . . And These Were the Times 270 That Changed Them. There will he events that didn’t mean much and those that were regarded as special . . . and times that we shall cherish through- out our days. There were times of friendship ... hatred . .. joy ... and sorrow— all blend- ing together to form those who would be- come the leaders of tomorrow. There were happy times . . . days of laugh- ter and fun-loving minutes and then there were tragic times to balance our maturity. All of these and more occurred in These Changing Times. Moments too happy for words________when something we wanted so badly finally be- came ours and we gratefully accepted it say- ing we never dreamed of it ... hours of soul-searching ... days of monotony ... days of excitement . . . days when every- thing went right . .. days when everything went wrong ... these are characteristics of the changing time. Then we wonder from day to day, What will I be?” But the answer is slow and we remain patient for we know one day it will come. And when it does, in silence we say, Yes, this is truly worth waiting for. So, the Seniors are parted bringing a close to the great movement of the 60's. With the farewell to the 6ffs comes the beginning of a new era—the '70 era—with the birth of the Class of 1970. Seniors wish the Classes of 1970 and 1971 many days of happiness and a well made future while saying their good-byes for the last time with these final words, May the Lord watch between me and thee while we’re absent one from the other. And now we go forth to another day ... another year ... realizing that anything can occur in These Changing Times. 271 In Honor of Mrs. Aulta Corbett In honor of someone who led us through many problems and struggles the TALIS- MAN Staff would like to speak for not only this year's staff but for staffs in years past. . .and say thank you for all the time and effort you have put forth. This page is set aside to honor Mrs. Aulta Corbett, who for fifteen years has managed our yearbook staff. No one realizes the hard work that must go into putting out a yearbook and even though her patience sometimes wore a little thin she always came back to lend a helping hand. For so long she has led us but this year ended her road to success. Sansom loses a great teacher to retirement but gains the dignity and respect of all those who will remember her. This is only a small way for us to say thanks for so many things. But it is our own special way to show gratitude for a woman we so love and admire. t - 1 v nL % - ■ - '•■ It •• 7 � 3f • CV- ' • t . . � £• JSf? -1 • .
