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

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1957 volume:

TAYLOR COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL PERRY FLORIDA It is with pleasure that the Annual Staff dedicates the 1957 Tacohi to Mr. O.P. Weaver, who served three years as Assistant Principal of T.C.H.S. (1953-1956). In this capacity Mr. Weaver served as guidance counselor, student council advisor, and year- book sponsor. The 1957 Annual Staff hopes this edition of the Tacohi reflects in some measure the hard work and time devoted by Mr. Weaver to raise the standard of the yearbook. We are sure the student body joins us in wishing Mr. Weaver a long tenure and much success as principal of the Perry Elementary School. Administration Faculty Tuesday Tuesday SCIENCE PARtylCK A.
