Taylor County High School - Sampler Yearbook (Perry, FL)

Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1946 volume:

THE STUDENT COUNCIL OF TAYLOR COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL VOLUME IV Sponsored by the Student Council of TAYLOR COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL Perry, Florida Here is your 1946 Tacohi. 'The editors have chosen books as the salient motif of this volume for they rep- resent the great cultural heritage that has been pre- served generation after generation by scholarly ef- forts. Taylor County High School has its heritage of edu- cational ideals. It was created and preserved by the efforts and leadership of men and women, boys and girls, and students and faculty who worked for bet- ter living. It has followed those high ideals and standards set up in the beginning and has added to them until our present T. C. H. S. has evolved. It is the responsibility of the faculty and students alike to preserve its ideals of the past and build its bright fu- ture in education. May this book help you in remembering your days at Taylor County High School and remind you to do your part in improving and preserving your school. BOOK I History of T. C. H. S. Faculty in Retrospect Administration Faculty Classes BOOK II Organizations Sports BOOK III Features Advertisements • • • OF TAYLOR COUNTY HiGH SCHOOL ★ Taylor County High School had its first graduating class in 1913. The class consisted of one member. Miss Nina Weaver, and Hon. E. C. Calhoun was the Commence- ment speaker. The principal at that time was Mr. M. J. Okerlund. Since that day many hundreds have gone out from the school as graduates and lest year (1945) the graduating class consisted of fifty-five members. The following men have served as principal of the school since 1913: A. D. Kean (1913-1914), T. R. Corr (1914-1915), A. E. Riley (1915-1919), S. A. B. Wilkinson (1919- 1920), C. M. Jones (1920-1931), L. A. Gray, (1931-1932), S. W. Cason (1932-1935), C. J. Bowman (1935-1940(, H. D. Smith (1939-1941), J. M. Davies (1941-1942), A. H. Wentworth (1942-?). The school is truly a County high school for students come to it from every nook of the county except the extreme southern end where recently there has been established a senior high school. Twelve excellent buses provide transportation for students of Perry Schools including the high school. In 1913 there were eight members of the fcaulty for the entire Perry school and in 1945-1946 there are forty-or.e members. In the meantime the student body had in- creased from about 145 to mere than 1,000 in 1945. Many changes have been mode from time to time in the building facilities, the most recent of which is our splendid modern gymnasium and football field. 9n Rei iM.nect...

This November of 1956 I find myself reviewing my show with some pride. Here in the bock I find Chubby Thompson, the hunter of all times in charge of—you guessed it, the animals. Here also we find Joe Griner his friend and assistant. Well, what do you know, there's Buddy Bryant still handling the feeding facilities. Over near her elephant is lone Pridgeon, world famous for her ability to train these creatures. And here is Annie Jo Walker, the lion trainer in pink tights, a blue sweater, and knee boots. And what is this? Oh, yes, its Lawerance Rauletson in the monkey cage handing out peanuts to the monkeys for dessert. The peanuts were of course, toasted by Marie Brinson. Then I come out on the grounds. Here is a side show. Ladies and gentlemen, the world's most lattcoed woman, Leota Walker. Ring two out of three and take your choice of prizes, that's Gloria Poppell at the basketball shooting gallery. Right next door is the rifle range, Mabel Parker in charge, calm and peaceful as usual, with her face and hands greasy. Yes, what is this? Oh, the fire department with Genny D'Antcnio, Ruth Parker, Doris Bass, and Preston Sheffield, the flaming red heads of '46. Now what do you know? Here in these whoo-whoo costumes are Lydia and Mary Frances Hendry, those shimmering snake charmers. Oh, here we are in the looks department. Harry Massey, the photographer, is taking a picture of Curtis Simons while Clayton Swearingen holds the curtain so no one will know it was taken. Now for something unusual is Betty Lou Crouch, in her fast moving way, guarding the gate. She has on her customary uniform, a short blue skirt of shiny satin, a bright yellow jacket, a little red cap, and yessir, swinging a great big blackjack. On either side of her is Joyce Worley and Foyce Cruce taking up tickets. Well, what is this selling tickets? Oh, it is none other than that glamour girl of all glamour girls, Euna Coghlan. Hamburgers, hot dogs, soda pop. Yes, that is Tommy Swanson over at the hot deg stand. He sells them while Moude Rice does the cooking and slaughter work. Mary Frances Cone takes her place in seeing that the place is sanitary for the wellbeing of the people. Clarence Giddens assists her very well as janitor. Katie Whiddon with her natural wisdom of machinery keeps the place on the move with the help of Bernice Morrison. Music, music, and more. That is the band's motto. Music for fun and gaiety. Here is Thelma Dorman, band majorette,- Ralph Denmark on the bass horn,- Grady Burch, the drums, and Chalmus Holmes, the potato flute. Some class! Boy, is this exciting? Say, why are all those girls over there? Oh, now I see. It's Therion Tedder, that fire eater. He gets mere like Robert Taylor every day. Also in this show is Patsy Miller, the fat lady. Geraldine Knowles can be electrocuted and still live. Poor electric chair. And Elam Sapp, the skinny woman.

STUDENT COUNCIL JIMMY McCALL Student Body President In this decidedly troubled world today the price of self-government runs high; so high, in fact, that in many countries men and women are paying for it with their lives. In many countries they have lost it altogether. We should be proud and thankful for the heritage we have in our country. The story of our nation's government tells of great men and noble sacrifices. It tells of the honest works of people who wished to see our land become a great nation, and of their success in forming a glorious union and democracy. In a smaller sense we have the same thing here in cur school. The history of cur Student Government tells the story of students and teachers who have really sacrificed to see our school grow and improve until it has become one of the finest schools in the United States. Our organization is divided into committees so that every phase of the school business may be looked into thoroughly. Its work always has been and always will be to seive the school and its students.

Faculty Advisor LYDIA HENDRY MARIE BRINSON THE BAND One very importont feature of the football season this year has been the splendid performance of the Taylor High School Band at their half-time parades. We have been negligent in the excitement of the games to express our appreciation properly for the added attraction afforded by its appearances. The band beautifully uniformed in royal blue and white, and drilled almost to West Point perfection, had its origin in the days when Professor Everett J. Evans was the bandmaster. Since his retirement last year, Miss Martha White, one of his former pupils, has carried on in a splendid manner. As well as playing for five home games, the marching band won the applause of audiences in Cross City, Madison and Monticello. While the band is actually performing its maneuvers. Director White becomes a part of the audience and lovely Head Majorette Bette Dickert takes over. She gives the signals, sets the pace, and makes all the decisions. Louise Jones, Frances Granger, Ann Moody, Patricia Dail, Eugenia Peacock and Marilyn NeSmith, the pretty twirling majorettes, are exceptionally adept in handling the special twirling batons. We would like to go down the list of members and tell you the important part each member plays in the band's fine appearance, but space will not permit. We will say, however, that the band has molded itself into a self-governing organization with officers elected each year. This year Chalmes Holmes is President; Bennie White is Vice-President; Sara Ruth Elkins is Secretary-Treasurer; and Bette Sue Dickert is Librarian.

Under the management of Mr. Wentworth, the North Florida Conference Tournament in Perry last week end was a distinct suc- cess in every way, with sixteen well played games by eighteen teams. Perry was the winner of the tournament, piaying a- gairst Madison in the finals Sat- urday night, the score being 29 to 27. As an added attraction for the Saturday evening program the Madison and Perry girls also played, the score being the re- verse of that in the boys game, the Madison girls winning 29- 27. At the end of the champion- ship game iByron Hileman, prin- cipal of the Monticello school, and nresident of the North Flor- ida conference, made the trophy awards, to Monticello for winn- ing the conference football championship, to Perrv, winner of the conference basketball tournament, and to Madison as runner-up in the latter. Scores in all the «rames, in the; order placed on the brackets, wore as follows: Madison 88, Day 27. Arcilla 24, Sopohonpy ig. Cross City 46, Wellborn 16. Mayo 25, Monticello 21.

CLASS PROPHECY-Continued Mr. James E. (Jimmy) McCall fakes care of all legal documents and business transactions very capably. He attended T. S. C. H. L. (Tide Swamp College for Higher Learning). Miss Dorothy Morgan, his pretty secretory, attended the Williamson Com- mercial School here in Perry. And now we come to the big top. Up on the trapeze we find Rowena Davis swinging around like a monkey, with Walter Wilson in a Superman uniform waiting for her to fall on the net so he can call an ambulance. The drums roll and in ride the Padgetts, Coree and Loree, cn prancing white stattlons. They are wearing red, white and blue uniforms (very short). Bouncing around in the center are Priscy McCaskill and Rudy Ashton doing a ballet. They copy a number done by Abbott and Costello. Peanuts, pcpcorn, crackerjack, etc. That's Inez Cash. 'Cigarettes, cigars, candy. Joyce Linton in her routine uniform of green coolets and white sweater. In case you are frightened by the alarming thing entering now, it is Betty Holden riding Hazel Kemp without a saddle or bridle. The outside again is quite different. The rcmeo selling balloons is none other than Gene Taylor, after his retirement from lieutenant colonel in the U. S. Army. 'Pitch your pennies right here, boys and girls. Remember all coins must clear the lines. That's Shirley Rice. She always did handle money well. Swoon a few times and you will be in order to hear Ray Chesser singing on his daily program accompanied by Peggy May with the trombone. This is why so many bobby soxers enter the gate. 'Step right this way, folks. Just inside you can see the weight lifting champ of all women . . . Evelyn Wages, who took lessons from Charles Atlas. My how this world has changed. Also in this tent is our champion boxer, Edith Taylor, hopping around like a spring chicken. She's dressed in heavy black satin trunks, a white Camp Blanding sweat shirt, and black tennises. Tell your fortune, sir? That must be Jimmie Carey over there trying to get a sucker into the mystic tent where Madame Gerry Lee is in charge of the crystal ball. • Candied apples and cotton candy come under the direction of Marie Cruce, the hen of the class. Close to her stand is James Palmer and his donkey companion. This is something I know nothing about and have never seen anythinn )ike it before. Strange, but it doesn't need any makeup for looks or pillows for size. Who on earth could it be but Polly Murphy. New entering the gates are the two honored guests. Anyone will recognize them as Miss Boyd and Mrs. McLeod, sponsors of the '46 graduating class, accompanied by Mr. Wentworth, supervising principal of our school.

The way is not easy. It is narrow. It is sometimes rough. Other paths beckon alluringly, as seeming short cuts. But in mankind's halting progress through the ages many paths have been explored uuiL ind before. If now in uncertainty we change paths we will slow up, progress and confuse those whose eyes are on us. By further smoothing of the proved paths we can continue to inspire earnest men everywhere to follow the way that already has led one nation so far toward the better and happier life for all.
