) STUDENT COUNCIL PRESENTS THE 1951 TACOHI o o ADMINISTRATION FACULTY THE SENIORS CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS SPORTS FEATURES ADVERTISEMENTS Dear Students: It is my utmost desire that all of you, individually and collectively, have constructive experiences dur- ing your stay in Taylor County High School. The faculty joins me in this desire for you to make your school days worthwhile. Your heritage as an American is being seriously threatened and challenged at present. You must be ever mindful of and thankful for the rights and privileges you enjoy as an American. You must also realize there are certain DUTIES and OBLIGATIONS to discharge if you rightfully enjoy the rights and orivileges of oar democratic order. Remember that democracy is deoendent upon an informed people. The American Dublic schools provide opportunities to promote and help oerpetuate our democratic ideals. It is your duty and responsibility to make the most of your schooling to enable you to transmit a more worthwhile heritage than you received. I have thoroughly enjoyed my associations with you since I came to Taylor County High. In years to come I hope that when you look through your 1951 TACOHI, many pleasant memo- ries will arise.

CLASS HISTORY In 1939 we, the first small shoots of inexperienced plants, show'ed up in the green- house where we w£re planted at T.C.H.S. We were in the small greenhouse near the large building where the senior plants were kept. These first plants were Jackie Lynch, Don Rice, J. H. Tedder, Lowery Wentworth. Hazel Sauls. Richmond Peacock, Carolyn Hicks, John Walker, Ben Whitfield, Ray NeSmith, Wilson Hendry, Joan Glickman, Irene Mantzanas. Billy Warren, Ira Landry, Erma Lee Langford. Johnny Willis, Charles Holmes, Frank Sapp, Bettie Lynn, Ellis Ray Parker, Gordon Davis, Billy McLeod, and James Franklin. Under excellent care we grew through two trying years uninterrupted. In the third grade an excellent plant, Betty Inman, was transplanted from Salem to our thriving group. During our fourth year we were all carefully uprooted and transplanted to a new greenhouse across town. Here in strange surroundings our growth was retarded somewhat; however, after a period of readjustment we again resumed our normal growth. It seemed a short time until we were rejoined by Carolyn Hicks, a sturdy plant that had spent a year away from us in Panama City. Again we found that we were to he moved, this time to the main greenhouse. With eager and expectant faces we faced the bewildering maze of rooms, halls, and sophisticated seniors, who threw us wilting glances. A new fellow plant from Foley was Vivian Howell. In our eighth year we were joined by a sturdy shrub from Jacksonville, Virginia Mann. Our growth was once again becoming normal. Although we bore the marks of freshmen cuttings, we were strengthened by shipments from South Carolina, Live Oak, Shady Grove, Louisiana, Pleasant Grove, and Cabbage Grove. These were Bonnie Ruth Baggett, Ethleen Register, Lowery Wentworth, Richmond Peacock, Russell Tedder, and Janet Page, respectively. The next year, an extremely sturdv plant from Cabbage Grove joined us—Shirley Whiddon. In our junior year we were joined by these healthy specimens from Foley: Louis Shaw, La Nell Bethea, Robert Jackson, Owen Raulerson, Edwin Williams, Imogene Simons, Newana Chesser, Shirley Parker, Cecil Carlton, Virginia McCall, Harry Hall, and Janie Massey. We were also joined by Jackie Lynch from Georgia; Tommie Towles from Salem; Lawton Grantham from Pleasant Grove; Muriel Dice and Jacky Alvarez. In our final year we were joined by Hilda Daniel from Tallahassee and Erma Lee Langford, who was at another greenhouse for a year. Under our Chief-Cultivators, Boyd and Robinson, wre wrere carefully trimmed and pruned for our last year. We enjoyed all the privileges given and took as many as w'e dared until that eventful night when we received our diplomas and became “graduated shrubs.” CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1951, in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory and superhuman understanding, do, hereby, declare this to be our last wiil and testa- ment in form as follows: We leave to the: FACULTY—Our best wishes.

I get so lonesome teaching school in Sarasota. I think I’ll visit my friend, Joan Glickman, eminent Spanish teacher of U. of F. Joan, upon my arrival, brings out a crystal ball given to her on one of her trips abroad. Gazing into its mystic rejalms, I make startling discoveries. I see a man. Why, it’s Wilson Hendry, renowned author of that best seller of the year, “The Mysteries and Miseries of Women.” The book is illustrated by the famous artist Virginia McCall. The book is published by the Gruesome Twosome Publishing Co., owmed by Billy Warren and Johnny Willis. That sound of music, is it a band? No, it’s the Stagger-Out Night Club owned by Lawton Grantham, Jackie Alvarez, J. H. Tedder, James Franklin and Russell Tedder. Someone is having a party; and it’s none other than Virginia Mann, who is an inferior decorator. And what is this? A line of beautiful, shapely chorus girls—Janet Page, Muriel Dice, Jackie Lynch, Erma Lee Langford, and Hilda Daniel—are singing that popular hit, “I’ll Sail My Ship Alone.” The scene changes and I see a ranch. It’s the Double T Ranch owned by Tommie Towles. Her foreman is Richmond Peacock, who is still trying to date the “boss.” Tommie’s neighbor is Mrs. Ralph Gamble, the former La Nell Bethea, whose husband is a cattle raiser. La Nell believes they are “cheaper by the dozen,” for she already has nine fine children. A fashionable Sportsman’s Lodge booms into view. It is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Williams. She is the former Carolyn Hicks. Nearby, Janie Massey operates a nursery for the tourists’ children and is assisted by Vivian Howell. A plane zooms into sight. Aboard are Robert Jackson and Owen Raulerson, who are investigating the shortage of tea in England. They are planning to introduce health- building sulphur water there as the national drink. Their plane, a P90Yi Jet, is piloted by Ray NeSmith, who designed and built the plane. The scene shifts northward where Army and Notre Dame are playing a one-sided game. Army’s team coached by Frankie Sapp, is literally “stomping a mud-hole” in Notre Dame. Over on the sidelines giving a rousing cheer for lagging Notre Dame is that famous cheerleader, Benjamin Whitfield, who received his most valuable training at T.C.H.S. The scene shifts again. I see a super market at Boyd. It is owned by Ellis Rav Parker and managed by Shirley Whiddon. Inside, Ira Landry is displaying those wonderful Sunshine Dairy Products while Lowery Wentworth drives the delivery truck. I see quite a few new teachers at T.C.H.S. Don Rice is now teaching chemistry; John Walker, shorthand; and Billy McLeod. English. Cecil Carlton is now principal of the “thing.” What is this? The Capitol. Gordon Davis is being inaugurated as Governor. He has retained Betty Lynn as his private secretary. Louis Shaw is the new comptroller. Not far down the street is the “Bags for Hags” Dress Shoppe, owned by Irene Mantzanas. Betty Inman is her leading model, and Bonnie Ruth Baggett and Etheleen Register are sales clerks. Ah. I see orange blossoms. Why. it’s a wedding! Hazel Sauls and Charles Holmes are being united in Holy Wedlock. But who is that round, so firm, so fully packed preacher? Well, for heaven’s sake, it’s Harry Hall. His fiancee, Shirley Parker, is the soloist, accompanied by Imogene Simons, a gifted organist. But wait! A mist is clouding the crystal ball, blotting out the view; I can see little. Alas. I can see no more in the crystal ball. First row: Dalton Allen, Gail Cunningham.
