When you've been dis- appointed, who do you turn to? Who's the first one to know when you pass a test you were sure you failed? A close f ri end. A friend doesn't have to be the same age as you, or even the same sex. In fact, the Friend that likes you the most isn't even human. God loved you even before you were born. The best way to make friends is to be one. Follow the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Smile; be happy! friends are easy to make, but hard to keep. Don't expect anything from a friend that you wouldn't be willing to do for them in return. You can never have too many friends. So no matter what kind of wrapping a gift of friend- ship comes in, you should never turn it down. Sometimes the best gifts come in small packages. And ncements .

You've got to pay for school fees, club fees, supplies, a yearbook, ribbons, and lunches. Cokes are a quarter. Gator Gazettes are a quarter, and candy bars are 50 or 60 cents, depending on the club selling them. Contributions to United Fund and other drives take some change out of your pocket. On Fridays, football tickets are $1.50 and food inside the game is an ad- ditional dollar. If you have a car, there's gas to buy, a tag to replace, and engine up- keep to finance. Where does the money come from? Unless you have a money tree, you can borrow from family members, but what do you do when it's time to pay up? Some students get jobs. Two organizatoins in our school, D.E. and BOE Co-op, allow students to go to school half of the day and report to their jobs the other half. Many students have after school jobs, where they work two or three days of the week. With so much to spend it on, how can you save a penny? e The Most Money For United Fund As the lines begin to form at the snack machines.

Driving a Fiat. Staying out until 1:00 A.M. on Friday nights. Forming my own opinions. I have no freedoms. Loving anyone I want to, and having them love me back. Being able to choose my career. Choosing my own religion. Going out with a Davidson football player. Being silly when I want to, and serious when I can. Being able to prove myself. Deciding by myself what's right for me. Being me. The United States is based on the concept of freedom and equality for all of its citizens. Everyone in America is given the right to worship as they please, to say what's on their mind, and to hold a peaceable gathering on any public prop- erty . We also have freedom of the press, which entitles the news media to print what they want without censorship. Freedom does not mean a total lack of rules or laws. If it did, then it would be per- fectly legal to go out and__ List To Go Take murder someone and receive no punishment. But if you did this, you would be violating the other person's freedom to live. Freedom is only as valuable as we make it. If we value our freedom and want to protect it, then we should want to pro- tect every American's freedom. What would life in our country be like if America wasn't free? We are so used to doing what we want that we take our freedom for granted.

Please Open Each year when the doors open for school to start, dif- ferent students with different backgrounds walk through them. Satsuma has become an environment set up for all to enjoy. It's not just for study- ing or being serious but for getting involved. For every student at Satsuma, there is a club or activity in which they can assert themselves to meet their personal needs whether it is football or trade school it's welcomed by many students as a part of everyday school life. i 8 Student Life Divider Student Life ...

Such bustling under one roof! There are many activities which Satsuma students par- ticipated. Homecoming excite- ment, Miss Satsuma and Ser- vice clubs, gave students diversion from basic studies. Plays and Dances appealed to large groups as participants and spectators. School was a vortex of activity, at the center of such activities was capable and spirited young people. We can truly say that our students at SHS made our school better. The Student Body brought on an outstanding morale and con- tinuing spirit in each student activity. Activltiesll School life involves more than just be- ing good in order to achieve that goal. You have to rest and enjoy life, then practice, but practice is worth it, when the moment comes and you're in the spotlight. 12 YEARS Another Year And Another Year Older School beginning has a lot of different meanings to people. For some it means a complete change from summer activities, and freedom to come and go as you please. A lot of people, after three months of summer, are ready to settle down to studying and making friends. 12 School Beginning Some people take the beginning of school as an escape from work and a lot of spare time. Girls especially look for- ward to school, so they can be with their friends and have their companionship. But for each student it means getting into a settled routine. School takes up a lot of time but it also gives you a chance to be with friends. To the Seniors, school beginning has a different meaning than usual, because it's a new beginning. The band looks forward to school, because the football games give them a chance to exhibit their skills in performing at half time. School Beginning 13 Itomct Anting 1976 A Victorious Night For Renee And The Gators. Homecoming was a week of enthusiasm, spirit, and some- times hectic activities. But everything seemed to fall into place as Friday night finally ar- rived. The Gators proved how fantastic they really were as the first half ended in the score of 13-0. The half time activities proved to be equally exciting as six Senior girls awaited the final announcements as one of them would reign as 1976-77 Satsuma Homecoming Queen. As the tense moment arrived the speakers announced Donna Ad- cox as second runner up and Stephanie Butts as first. Then the moment arrived when dis- belief and suprise was the expression on Renee Winters face as she was announced Homecoming Queen. The second half of the game was totally for the Gators as they skinned the Rattlers with final score of 21-0 . 14 Homecoming Homecoming 15 The remaining three Senior maids were Helen Young, escorted by Larry Powe, Karen Kilpatrick, escorted by Andy Lewis and Cindy Gregory es- corted by Gwin McAII.

The night was clear and throughout the gym could be heard the talents of Tequila Mockingbird . Moments of to- getherness were shared by couples as they danced in a world of Misty Blue thoughts. As the streamers began to fall and the spirit was not as bright, the night was coming to a close. Homecoming '76 had been a success as memories were locked in many minds for years to come. Lonnie Lundy and Janet Hurst were Mas- ter and Mistress of Ceremonies.

At Ease! These were just a few of the familiar commands heard from the members of the Gator march- ing band. Members of the band, flag corp and rifle corp found the only way to perfect a show was to listen close to the given commands and do as told. The 1976-77 flag corp, lead by captain Vicki Childers, added a lot of excitement and color to the halftime shows. The flag girls worked on their routines until they were perfect- ed, and they really enjoyed be- ing a part of the band. A rifle corp was added to the band, which was led by captain Renee Jackson. The four girls did extremely good performances. Director Wendall W. Ken- nedy and Drum Major Glenn Chavers did outstanding jobs of leading the 1976-77 Gator marching band.

The purpose of this club is to introduce the students to the industrial world of work. VICA shows the student what is to be expected in his work. VICA is the first step in pre- paring a student in the field of industry such as welding, blue- print reading, or sheet metal work. Being a member of VICA may very well pay off in the future. VICA was a very active club in that they participated in the homecoming parade as well as had a Christmas party for an old folks home. Besides this they were involved in tours to industries and had guest speakers to come and speak. 50 Industrial Arts i At the top of the opposite page Kevin Williamson is shown hard at work, as is James Phillips in the bottom left hand corner.

Gators Offense Prove Themselves Worthy The lb-11 Varsity Football team had a fantastic season this year. Under the direction of Coach Coleman, the Gators came up with a 7-3 season and seven seconds from going to the state playoffs. Satsuma being a Cinderella team, downed some of the county's toughest teams and lost its three games within the last minutes of play. Our first opponent was Vigor, an old rival. Sat- suma drew first blood with a touchdown and from there own the scoring was monotonous. In the last few minutes of the game the score was 20-26, Vigor. Satsuma's ball, the Gators drove all the way to the Wolves two yard line with four seconds remaining on the board. Satsuma tried to convert a touchdown pass but failed, giving a heart- breaking victory to Vigor. Our second game was a battle against Shaw over a few points. Satsuma scored first during the third quarter with Shaw unable to penetrate our goal line defense. Satsuma then put themselves in a sticky situation and the solution resulted in giving Shaw 2 points instead of 7. Satsuma went on giving the Shaw rebels a tough time with their goal line defense. Although few points were scored by either side both teams gained a lot of yardage. This game was an im- portant game for the Gators who were suffering from a previous defeat and it started a chain victory for Satsuma. Final score, 7-2. 78 TOP LEFT: Aubrey Gholston drives for extra yardage. TOP: Coach Coleman gets instructions from the coaches up- stairs. BOTTOM LEFT: Ronnie Lee receives the bomb from Andy Coleman.

Two turnovers on Williamsons part resulted in a fast Gator lead 13-0. Again Williamson started a drive only to be intercepted by Riley Richardson. Williamsom finally) put some points on the board in the second quarter but Satsuma pulled it off in a good fought game 28-19. The next three games were victorys, Fairhope being the first 14-3. A touchdown and 30 seconds to play wrapped up the game for Satsuma. The next team was Theodore. The Gators pulled this game off in the last quarter with a blocked punt that was recovered in the end zone by Rober Wilson giving Satsuma a win 7-6. Varsity Football 81 Backbone Of The Gator Football Club The Mary Montgomery game was a close win for the Gators. Satsuma was first to put 7 points on the board but, the Vikings came back with 6 points the final points to be scored in the game. Final score 7-6, Satsuma. Satsuma went on to add two more victorys to their list by defeating Foley and Toulmonville. Foley was expected to win but fell prey to Satsuma in the last half 10-7. Toul- monville who played the Gators in their Homecom- ing game was 13 points behind in the first ten minutes. Satsuma added some more points to the score leaving the Rattlers rattleless 21-0. The two unbeaten op- ponents in regional play were to face off to see who could go to state playoffs. It was just Satsuma and Bay Minette. The first quarter went scoreless with Satsuma almost scoring twice. Satsuma finally took command with a 7 point lead in the second quarter. During the third quarter both teams failed to score and were forced to punt. The Tigers then put a good drive together for 70 yards and a touchdown with 6:50 left to play . Bay Minette took posses- sion of the ball after Satsuma was forced to punt and moved the ball to Satsuma's 7 yard line with 12 seconds left to play. The Tigers kicked a field goal to take the lead. Satsuma tried to score, but the situation was hope- less with just 7 seconds. 82 Varsity Football TOP RIGHT: Defensive Linemen, TOP LEFT: Linebackers, MIDDLE RIGHT: 76-77 Varsity Football team.

One has to be able to communicate with the public without fear. Pep rallies, football and basketball games are a few of the events that the girls devote time to. Why is so much required of a cheerleader? It is because their spirit moves the crowd into an enthusiastic group of fans. We appreciate their efforts. The 1977 cheering squad consisted of the following girls: Cyndi Richardson, Anita Barnes, Tina Carter, Carmen Reyes, Tammy Stewart; Captain, Cheryl Stewart, Cindy Cave, Tammy Ryals; Co-Captain, and Dorothy Jen- kins. The homecoming bonfire is one of the major events that cheerleaders are required to attend. 84 Cheerleaders Cheerleaders 85 The Cheerleaders excelled and worked gratefully with captain, Tammy Stewart and sponsor, Mrs. Capps. Each football game, the girls dedicated the entrance of the field to one of the players. PERSISTENCE Baby Gators 3-3-0 For Season The lb-11 Baby Gators combined their practice, experience and skill and came up with a 3-3-0 season. Even though they were not victorious all the time, they gave it all they had and learned a lot under the direction of Coach Kulakowski. The Gators first opponent was Williamson. After four quarters of good action-packed football the Baby Gators emerged victorious 10-0. The Gators then took on Citronelle and handed them a defeat 12-0, but their pride was hurt a week later when the Wildcats of Theodore downed Satsuma 42-0. Satsuma then recovered only to be handed their second defeat by Mary Montgomery 28-0. Satsuma beat Citronelle again and lost to B.C.

The girls were rated fourth out of seventeen area high schools. VolleyJjall 91 Exciting Gators Determination Develops Team Spirit And Leadership Through understanding and ambition the Varsity team became known as an outstanding group. The team as a whole showed spectators what spirit is through their actions and attitudes toward coaches, fellow players, and op- ponents. Many of the Varsity games were played against the top ranked county teams. Even when the Gators lost, their spirit remained high. Losing only made them more de- termined to win the next game. 92 Varsity Basketball Jerome Daniels beats his man and is on his way to an easy layup. Herman Smith showed great form all year long as he did easy layups and jumps shots like the one he's doing here. After going over last minute instructions about the game the team breaks from their huddle ready to begin the start of the game. On a fast break Andy Coleman prepares himself to go up for an easy two points. Jimmy CorgiII takes his free throw after getting fouled by an opponent. Herman Smith believes in getting down after the basketball by fighting a Shaw player for a rebound. Tension Varsity Proves Prac- tice Makes Perfect Jimmy CorgiII goes up for a jump shot against his opponent. The Var- sity team members were as follows: Jerome Daniels, Andy Coleman, Don Williams, Rhett Williams, Eddie Sullivan, Jeff Glidewell, Jimmy Corgill, Herman Smith, Jimmy New- ton, David Salter, and Coach Larry Speights. Jerome Daniels blocks a Shaw player from getting an outlet pass off. Herman Smith attempts to go up against another Shaw opponent. Andy Coleman inbounds a pass to Jimmy Corgill. As the tension grew during each game the players found that the spirit of the team helped pull the mighty Gators through many ball games. The team proved that if you keep practicing and keep your spirits high you will improve and strive harder to win the next game._________________ 94 Varsity Basketball 95 ROUNDBALL Seventeen Game Schedule — Nine Wins Ernie Curry is on the good end of a fast break as he is getting ready to go up for a layup.

After giving their best, the team settled back to wait for next year's Varsity team try-outs. 96 Jr. Varsity Basketball Jr. Varsity Basketball 97 Dribble Even With Losing Sea- son Baby Gators Show Great Spirit It was a new and exciting year for a few fortunate boys that were chosen for the '77 Freshman Basketball team.

If you have a special interest, and you want to work more in that field, Mr. Loden will highly recomend Faulkner. With other changes this year, the school board voted to make Driver's Education a required subject in all high schools. Every week there are groups that meet dur- ing the history classes, these are called 'group counseling'. These groups are designed to insure your questions and in- form you more on career in- terests. Group counseling helps students to be able to explore many fields of career ideas.

The familiar sounds of How was your sum- mer and it sure is good to be a Senior echoed the hall. After four years they were proud to be called Seniors. Their first activity was the election of class officers. During Home- coming they sold more turkey and dressing tickets than any other class before them. The class song was Show me the Way , the flower was the red rose, the colors were burgandy and silver, and the motto was Live as if you were to die tomorrow and dream as if you were to live forever. On May 31, the class of 77 will have left Satsuma with great expectations for their future and hope for each day ahead of them.

With them came a new cry- Senior '78! They brought dreams, enthusiasm, and de- termination from Sophomore Hall. As Juniors, they faced much more responsibility. One of their first duties was to elect officers, which they did with the results of Gine Riley, President; Marcia Griffin, Vice-President; Kim Cantrell, Secretary; Ronnie Lee, Treas- urer; and Tina Carter, Finan- cial Chairman. Their Favorites were brother-sister twins, Lynn and Gwin McAII. Juniors selected Tonight's The Night as their class song, blue and white as their colors, and a blue carnation as their flower. Their motto is the love in your heart wasn't put there to stay, love isn't love 'til you give it away. Their love for each other along with their cooperation and class spirit, explain why the Class of '78 will be one remembered. 144 Juniors Rhonda Adkison Blane Allen Judy Allen Connie Anderson Woodie Andereon Ray Austin David Autrey Anita Barnes Kelvin Barnes Tracy Barnett Fred Bauer Sharon Bayles Terry Beasley Julie Beck Donna Beckman Webb Bennett Sandra Benson Rachel Bentley Robert Bentley Elizabeth Blass Sylvia Boyles Charlie Brown Lori Brown Minnie Brown Juniors 14-. o o CO E D a Come True Junior Burch Karen Burkett Robbie Burleson Brenda Burton Kim Cantrell Glenda Carpenter Janice Carpenter Pam Cartee Tina Carter Tony Chapman Connie Chesser Eddie Chestang At least for Juniors! The ordering of class rings on November 16, 1976, marked a climatic date in their busy schedule. Then the day finally came in March. Juniors re- alized that graduation was soon upon them when they caught their first glimpse of the trea- sured rings. Valient efforts were made by Juniors as it came time for the selling of magazines and the presentation of the play, FINDERS CREEPERS.

D a O Strike Once Again Groans and grumbles were heard escaping from Juniors English and History classes as teachers introduced the dreaded term papers. Though students tried every way pos- sible to escape the weeks of foreseen drudgery, efforts were to no avail. Though every teacher had their own procedure, research was required. SHS library, as well as college and public libraries found their shelves being emptied by students look- ing for books on their chosen topics. Following the task of re- search came the tiring task of writing. After revising and typing, the paper was finally completed and it was time to turn in. Troubled minds eased.

A group of these Frenchmen went farther north than the others, and set- tled in what is now Saraland. The French were not farmers, and since that was what the land was suited for, they re- turned South to Mobile. In 1812, a Spanish family settled what they named Alvarez Sta- tion. They farmed and hunted to keep themselves alive. Around 1850, a notorious band of outlaws, the Copeland Gang, made Saraland their hideout. Saraland is supposedly named for Sara DeWitt. Saraland was incorporated as a city in 1957. The town of Satsuma was first settled in 1910. The first inhabitants raised chickens for a living and grew satsuma trees for their own pleasure. But the satsumas grew so well that the chickens were sold and more satsuma trees were planted. Satsuma was really a satsuma grove. The town prospered and in 1913 a school was built. Mr. D. C. Baldwin opened a turpentine still. Later the Sat- suma Hotel was opened. There is a legend that General Andrew Jackson marched his troops through Gunnison Creek in 1814. In the year 1923 there was a terrible cold snap which froze all of the satsuma trees. Satsuma became a farming land, and eventually a business district. It was incorporated in 1959. Creola and Axis were first inhabited by French settlers in 1853. The Creola Lumber Company was the first industry in this area. Since this time, Creola has made national tele- vision as a result of the oil found there. Our whole area has been affected by the oil wells. Now, trucks travel our high- ways, fires light up the skies, and explosions shake the earth. North Mobile is quickly becom- ing an industrial area. ek Shot Closing 221 Fu • ture — Adj. — Indicating Time To Come. Noun — What Will Happen. The future is one of the most our country? Will we continue to talked about and planned events of our lives. Schoolchildren look forward to graduation, sen- iors expect college or careers, marriage and money, and work- ing people look forward to pro- motions or retirement. We plan tomorrow, next week, and the next ten years. Not only do we plan our per- sonal futures, but we plan the future of our country. On Novem- ber 2, 1976, we elected the one man we felt was capable of upholding the office of Presi- dent. Where will this man lead be as prosperous and productive as we currently are, or will we begin to decline, both political- ly and morally? The answer is four years in the future, when this term expires. Only we can control our fu- ture. We've got to prepare for the the future today, because to- morrow will be too late. Think about where your future is taking you. Being happy is more im- portant than being rich. Plan your future well, so it will be everything you expect it to be. 222 Closing ome Room Tomorrow ...
