In memory of Samuel Diamond Born February 9, 1951 We, the Seniors of 1970, have faced many un- fortunate setbacks as well as advancements on our journey through our school life. The death of Sam Diamond, one of our friends and classmates, was one of the most tragic of our c1ass's setbacks. Sam was killed at 3 p.m. on Friday, September 19, 1969, when the auto he was in went off the right side of the road and out of control. The car then Died September 19, 1969 traveled back onto the road, crossing it and going off on the left side. The auto then swung around and traveled backward into a tree. Sam died of inter- nal injuries. On Graduation Day there will be a sad spot in the heart of each Senior Class member, for Sam will not be with us to graduate. But there will also be a warm feeling, for Sam was our classmate.

Life it's what's happening Life It's What's Happening is the theme of the 1970 SHOCOM. This theme represents the modern thinking of today and today's young people. The fast pace of the world today makes it im- possible for one to stand passively by and let life happen all around him and not become involved. Life in the Space Age is so complex and ever- changing that a person cannot allow himself to be- come out dated and uninformed. Many people abuse the privilege of life by not accomplishing all they can. They are content to drift and let things happen as they may and take no in- terest whatsoever. Life is too precious to go through Burr. Kama Swim Give Lavishly! Live it unaware and uncaring. How can a person keep himself informed? Through education. Education is really the happening of to- day. Some people today do not realize the full mean- ing of education. Education not only includes twelve years of formal schooling but also learning about life by sharing experiences with others and adjusting to the standards of society. We, the Senior Class of 1970, have completed the first twelve years of our formal education and many will go on to college. Our years at Shoals Community Schools have helped prepare us in many ways for the future. 45.11 Abundantlyl The more you give, the more you get- The more you laugh, the less you fret- The more you do unselfishly, The more you live abundantly . . . The more of everything you share, The more you'1l always have to spare- The more you love, the more you'll find That life is good and friends are kind. . . For only what we give away, Enriches us from day to day. HELEN STEINER RICE

We hope, too, that this yearbook will be a reminder of the many happy days that you have spent in The Shoals Community Schools. A number of people wonder how each member of the Staff was chosen. On September 8, 1969, all interested seniors were to have their letters of application submitted to Mrs. Cooper telling why they wanted the positions and why they thought they were qualified. Each person on the Staff is responsible for his section. In addition to preparing their own pages, the Co-editors proofread all material before submitting it to Paragon Press for publication. The Classes Editor prepares all copy for grades 9, 10, and 11. Senior Editors compile all of the information about Seniors. The Organizations Editor edits all information for all organizations having elected officers. The Activities Editors are responsible for all items of school life and acti- vities that lend color and make the school dis- tinctive. Our two Sports Editors plan the arrange- ments and photographs for the entire Sports section. The responsibility of the Business Manager is to keep records of income and expense and to Lindley, Organizations Editor, Mark Jenkins and Donna Ragsdale, Sports Editors, Linda Holt, Faculty Editor, Kathy Stiles and Cathy Sims, Advertising Editorsg Brenda Arthur, Photography Editor, Mrs. Agnes Cooper, Advisorg and Linda Peek and Darlene Pinnick, Senior Editors. prepare copy for grades 6, 7, and 8.
