Gym Classes Build Stamina While Driver ' s Ed. Tests It The freshman and sophomore classes have a strenuous athletic workout under the enthusiasm of coaches Mrs Nettles, Mrs. Suzi Robertson, Mr. Freddie Mitchell, and Mr. Ron Horton. Not only must the coaches keep growing bodies” in tone, but they must also teach skills. A few of these skills include hockey, basketball, gymnastics, baseball, football, and archery. At some time during high school usually the sophomore year, every student goes through Driver Education. The course starts with classroom instruction on rules of the road. After this is successfully completed comes the best part of all — behind the wheel.” Students must have 7 hours of this training, which includes driving on the range and 4 road trips. How they ever talked Mr. Gus Smith and Mr. Sewell Rowley into these dare-devil jobs, we’ll never know.

A Staff Offers a Bit of Variety This year, as usual, the cafeteria staff has provided daily, tasty and nutritious meals for the population of Tabb High Preparing and running the cafeteria is an all day job for Mrs. Fisher and her staff. Lunches are served to three half-hour lunch blocks, and sometimes to early or late comers. Throughout the year, the cafeteria staff tried to create a more colorful and lively atmosphere at Tabb with attractive decorations and a few exotic dishes. On Mexican Day,” tacos and tequila” were served in a candlelit cafeteria. The staff deserves the recognition and thanks that is sometimes bypassed.
