Text from Pages 1 - 216 of the 1982 volume:

The Pieces That Keep Us T ogether 1982 The Pieces That Keep Us Together Clockwise: Dr. and Mrs. Rother and their son J.A. visit a McDonald’s Pep Rally for TCHS. Mindy Shinglcr pauses on the high ladder as she prepares for the Homecoming dance. Above: Varsity Cheerleader Myrlcnc Jackson displays her jumping expertise. Varsity Cheerleader Dianne Ellison yells about our winning Football Team. Although it was a tough year, the boys arc still winners in our hearts. 2 For 1982 3 Pieces of TCHS Like a jigsaw puzzle Taylor Coun- ty High School is composed of many pieces. What holds these pieces together is school spirit, the devotion to the school and its many activities. It isn’t easy, for sometimes the glue gets a little thin. Friendships, though, cement the hard times and good times. Involvement of everyone provides the stage for all the pieces to find places. And places we have plenty of. There are places for academics, for preparing for tomorrow is what school is all about. Studying, learning and do- ing all form the foundation of every activity in our school. But no school puzzle would be com- plete without opportunities to ex- pand personal horizons through such activities as sports, music, clubs, and even the community. PUZZLE WORK Personnel achievement in such ac- tivities gives an individual a chance to develop his talents as well as prove to himself his own abilities. One may not be the best lineman on the team, but he may be the best tenor in the chorus, or the president of an organization, or maybe a trombone player who has excelled in his musical studies. He might be the kid who visits the nursing home and brightens the life of an elderly person. Whatever the talent may be, satisfaction comes to him who performs it and performs it well. There are many places in the puz- zle for personal achievement and expression. Sometimes we do not achieve what we really want to, but from the anticipation and the participation comes a joy in our school and in ourselves. The joy in realizing that our wins and losses aren’t as great or poor as someone else. The pieces that make us one, that make us a school, are color- ful, of variety and are definitely challenging. 5 At right: Allic Mac Lawson takes a moment to silence Ethel Wells while Cynthia Curtis looks on. Amy Wigglesworth, Bulldog Mascott, takes a moment to reflect on the game. At the bottom: the Bulldogs face the Bulldogs in a tight fight. 6 TCHS Activities Provide Variety For Everyone Joy in the new year, joy at becoming a senior, the uncer- tainty of a freshman, the am- bivalence of a sophomore, and the anticipation in a junior, were all mingled with the defeats of a less than great football season. Homecoming was an air of ex- citement as the student body showed unlimited energy and enthusiasm in preparing the Superdogs for the big game. Events such as homecoming reveal the pride and spirit in our school which forms the framework in which all the pieces lie. 7 Homecoming Was A PUZZLE Homecoming was a success story as was advertised in this TCHS Bulldog sign set up to welcome the Marianna Bulldogs for a fight out at the local stadium.

Below: members of Mrs. Ezell’s Homeroom decorate an award winning entry for the parade. Finally, Homecoming King Brad Lee and Queen Kari Parker pose for yearbook photographers. Faces Become Puzzle Pieces We Communicate With Our Faces!! Through facial expressions, we communicate the way we feel — our moods. Whether you are the angry football player who has been clipped by an opposing team member, or the student who has made a perfect score on his history exam, you can communicate your emotions through facial expres- sions. Smiles relay a message of joy — joy in achieving or joy in being a winner. Smiles also sym- bolize happiness. They reflect the good feelings we have about ourselves when we have ac- complished something rewarding. There is joy in teaching, for teaching allows us to share with others a part of our experiences. There is joy in learning, for learn- ing allows us to gain from others a part of their experiences. Both are key pieces in our puzzle. 10 Clockwise (p. 10): Dr. Rother displays his leaching abilities; Vickie lakes lime out to greet the day with a smile; Mrs. Fews in- structs typists.

Beth was nominated for McDonald's All American Band. 11 Pieces Set Uneasy The Homecoming Puzzle was a success, even though we lost the game and sent the Marianna Bulldogs home with their dogs happy. It wasn’t easy, for getting ready took lots of time, imagina- tion and hard work. Parents assisted in decorating the school halls during the traditional Hall Decorations contest. It was won by the Sophomore Class, but the Senior Class won the best float in the parade award. In all the game, the parade, all the weeks of work and the special activities were pieces of our puzzle which really fit. The spirit and the excitement made it a memorable week. Above: freshmen try to win the “Cram-a- Spacc Contest.” Cheerleader Dianne cheers the team quietly.

Even though homecoming ended in defeat, the spirit of the super- dogs' fans was not broken. They had worked hard in preparing for the great event and took pride in their achievement. Each day of homecoming week meant decorating floats, decorating cars, creating hall decorations, and competing in various class contests. The homecoming parade was evidence of the hard work and dedication of the students. Floats of vivid colors and shiny or- naments displayed the message of victory, while pretty girls sat on top of moving cars smiling and waving to onlookers who crowded thestreels- Pep rallies provide fun and total relaxation for the whole student body and faculty. The immense competition between the classes build spirit and enthusiasm for all. Successful pep rallies can’t be at- tributed to one small group. It is the participation of all the dif- ferent organizations along with the involvement of the entire stu- dent body which really provides the high content of spirit at each pep rally. The band, pom-pom girls, ma- jorettes, cheerleaders, and various clubs and organizations play a key role in entertainment during the spirit boost for our superdogs. But these different groups aren’t alone; sometimes one may find members of the faculty having just as much fun as the students themselves. Clockwise: Tiny pom-pom girl, Jeannie Schaak: varsity football team participates in pep rally: freshman students display Bulldog spirit: Lisa Hingson and De French; Dana Millinor. 17 Cooperation Is Key Piece to Success Clockwise pg. 18: Melissa Gardiner crams in a few hours of study; Coach Coker; Blair Beaty displays lighter side of Taylor County High School; Gayle Johnson, pg. 19 Clockwise: Thalia Karakitsios; Mike Dobson shows musical talent; Sabrina Demps, Little Women President, presents gift of appreciation to Women's Club president Ann Brown. 18 School is a place where one goes to learn and develop his potentials. He learns to enjoy their development and use them to create a path towards the future. Through learning and developing he becomes aware of his surroundings and desires to become a contributing factor to its progress. The students and faculty at Taylor County High work together in harmony to keep the spirit and pride at their school. They are good examples of people who have the determination for success and the cooperation to succeed. 19 Career Day Offers Students Future Options Coach D.J. takes a time from math to explain about new weight- lifting team. Number one TCHS Gator admits he has enrolled at FSU. At right: Air Force recruiter explains career options to TCHS students. 20 Freddie Langston in concert for students. The TCHS puzzle has room for more than just personal growth and development. School isn’t a place full of studying and serious business — at — least not all of the time. There must be some time for fun. Good times are also needed to stimulate growth and develop- ment. Besides, how would the ten- sion from all of those term papers and tests be relieved if it weren’t for those joyous moments. Of course, business comes before pleasure, that’s clearly understood. Who minds getting all of that homework finished if he’s going to a school dance, a good game, or maybe the beach? Band members take a break Jimmy Frostcrick focuses camera in Channel 4 studios. Victor Steadman takes time to get his heart monitored during Career Day program. 21 RANK FILE The Rank and File of TCHS is a composite of many different talents. Beginning with the lowly freshman through the high riding senior, everyone has his goals and expectations for suc- cess. The principal, teachers, lunchroom staff, and custodians, all work cooperatively to provide the best learning conditions for students. The students and the school staff function together as a whole unit. They are like chain links — each part complement each other and no part can function without the help of others. The school staff provides the instruc- tion and wisdom the students need to grow mentally, and socially, and the students give back that wisdom when they become productive adults in society. 23 The decision makers fit the puzzle pieces together. I was recently asked what 1 thought was the most outstanding feature of TCHS. During this my first year at TCHS, 1 can say 1 have been impressed with two elements which are absolutely essential to a good school. First, the student body has a great deal of enthusiasm for making this school as good as it can possibly be. Second, the entire faculty has a professional and dedicated con- cern for providing the best possi- ble instructional program for TCHS students. Together they represent a great potential. In light of these two elements, my job as principal is made im- measurably easier due to the high degree of cooperation from students and faculty. However, I have come to realize that I have a great responsibility also. Potential is worthless if never brought to realization, and my responsibility as principal requires that I pro- vide the material, support and en- couragement to realize the hidden potential of TCHS. The above was a response from our school principal, Albert J. Rother, when we asked him what he felt about our school and his first year. A principal needs support from all segments of the school com munity. Dr. Rother is fortunate to have the staff with which he works. 24 The front office is the main sta- tion of TCHS; and the staff is a big piece in the operation of TCHS. Mrs. Bobbye Williamson is our Fiscal Manager, for she oversees the funds for the school and the expenditures for all clubs and organizations. Mrs. Donna Ansel is the head secretary for the front office, she types, answers the phone, sorts mail; etc. She’s very talented when it comes to secretarial work. Her fingers are like lightening when she sits down at the typewriter. When it comes to shorthand and dictation, she has it down before you say it. Mrs. Linda Bratcher is the front office aide. She is in charge of reproducing copies of tests and providing clinical assistance for the staff. Also she handles the selling of school supplies, and answers the phone.

Coach Sebring Ratliff has starred in two weddings, his own and one entitled a “Womenless Wedding” put on by his class of seniors when he taught at Lafayette County High School. This past fall. Coach Ratliff married Bynthia Blanton. Coach Ratliff not only stars at the altar, but also at baseball and other sports. As head coach of TCHS’s Varsity Baseball Team, he is in the spotlight again. In addition to baseball, he also helps coach the football team and serves as one of the sponsors of the Student Council. He is a busy teacher for TCHS and is always willing to help the students. He is a star in more than one way. Daniel is Mother Hen “Mother Hen” is what the 1982 Seniors call her, but she is also known as Chairman of the English Dept., co-sponsor of the National Honor Society, and Coach for the school’s Brain Brawl Team. She has devoted much of her time to this and other activities at TCHS. Constantly she is working to help the Brain Brawl Team become one of the best in Florida. Her ef- forts have won recognition for our school, because our team has constantly been recognized as one of the winners. Mrs. Daniel, a favorite of the 1982 Seniors, has said of them, “The class of ’82 is incomparable.” If anyone should know, she should, for she has taught many of them for three and four years. 26 Non-Instructional Staff Are Essential Too in TCHS Without the non-instructional staffs help and support, TCHS wouldn't run as smoothly as it does. The members of this staff include Mrs. Wanda Cash, Mrs. Nell Lee, Mrs. Linda Bratcher, Mrs. Doris Schrammel and Mr. Larry Grantham. These people give their assistance in many dif- ferent ways. They display their many talents while contributing hours of work for our students and school. Thanks to this group of teacher aides and assistants. TCHS moves along without too many bumps on its ride through the years. Not only does the non- instructional staff contribute to our school through their knowledge, but they also add character. Mrs. Linda Bratcher is the front office aide. Mrs. Wanda Cash is the librarian aide, Mrs. Nell Lee is a teacher aide. Mr. Granthum is the library-media specialist technician. Last but not least, is Mrs. Schrammel, the guidance office aide. They all are an important piece of TCHS’s puzzle.

Her ambition hasn’t slowed the least bit since her graduation as an honor student from T.C.H.S. in 1961. Presently she is not only teaching Senior Honors English, Freshman English, and Yearbook at T.C.H.S., but she also works as the coordinator for all inservice programs for instruc- tional and noninstructional personnel in the school district. Mrs. Hamby’s joy in working with young people is obvious because of the organizations she is involved with. She is a sponsor for the Seniors and Little Women. She is also a part-time instructor for NFJC. Her contributions to the community and school were recognized hen she was named to Who’s Who Among The Most Outstanding Women of America in 1976.

He has effectively woven his knowledge of foreign countries gained when he was an army officer with the textbooks his students use in the courses he teaches. Teaching has become a second career for Mr. Franklin, for he is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel.___ Faculty works together to provide complete puzzle Working together provides many in- teresting pieces of the puzzle for the facul- ty. The give and take of everyday life in running a school can cause stress but can also create valuable learning experiences. Teaching is a demanding, but most rewarding profession and Taylor County High School is very fortunate to have a good staff. Working isn’t the only thing that these teachers do. Day in and day out they work constantly with students and parents, but they also find time to visit and have food, fun and fellowship. Often, when the oppor- tunity arises, members of the staff will get together and have a covered dish luncheon or a cookout. Judging from the array of food on the tables, one can clearly see that there are some good cooks and definitely some good eaters. At times such as this, faculty members have a chance to discuss profes- sional concerns and look for some of the lighter moments in the school year. “I can certainly say we have some good cooks in this school.” was a comment made by Math teacher Malcolm Page. The ef- forts that everyone contributes are most worthwhile. Whether it is working together or play- ing together, these faculty members are an invaluable piece of the puzzle. Above Malcolm Page samples some of the Christmas Punch and pronounces it delightful. The line up for the Thanksgiving luncheon took time to sample all the dif- ferent dishes. 29 New faces are added to puzzle Changes in TCHS's puzzle occur each year. New faces and new programs are added to improve the overall quality of our educa- tional program. There are five new faces in our faculty puzzle this year. Heading the list of new faces is none other than our new principal Sr. Albert J. Rother. A Missouri native. Dr. Rother holds degrees from Carthage College and Florida State University. He has been a classroom teacher and most recently an assistant principal at Lincoln High School in Tallahassee. Dr. Rother is also a former Army Captain, who spends most of his time working with the Boy Scouts. 30 Above: Bill Summers Below: Robert Annin Newcomers Join TCHS Staff Mr. Rod Kelley hasn't always been a teacher, for previously he has worked as a salesman and served in personnel division of the Air Force. At TCHS he teaches four civics classes and one Math class. He also is working as an assistant football coach and is the JV basketball coach. Ms. Albritton is a very active newcomer. She holds BA and MA degrees in elemen- tary education. At TCHS she teacher SLD math and English. She stays busy with her activities in education and the community. She is a member of the Pine Trii Reading Council, the Friends of Florida Club, and many others. Mr. Bill Summers is another newcomer to our puzzle. He teaches four eleventh grade English classes and one tenth grade class. Mr. Summers previously taught at Lake Butler for one year and has worked for the federal government as a curriculum Super- visor. After a day in the classroom, he en- joys running track. Mr. Robert Annin’s BA in Biology enables him to teach modern biology, general science, and junior-senior Comp. Math. Mr. Annin enjoys the outdoor live and especially the underwater world; for he is a scuba diving instructor. Ms. Wanda Lilliott brought to us a new course at TCHS — law education. The class had been promising, for students are learning more and more about law. Teaching law education is only one of her talents, whe also teaches special education. 31 Jokela Kelley Jenkins Johnson Ketring is Artist As artist in residence, Mrs. Patricia Ketring is a valuable piece of the faculty puzzle at Taylor County High. She has con- tributed her great talents not only in her teaching, but also in her devotion to the Junior class each year during prom decoration. She has helped many individual students artistically with different projects. She is a cat lover. She loves cats and once had a total of thirty. Although the number of her cats has been reduced her love for them has not. She loves the six cats that she has now, as much as she did her thirty cats. Her time and efforts are appreciated by the students and the Faculty. Faculty Directory Laura Jenkins: Florida A M University, B.S.; M.S.; Algebra, General Math.

McGlockin Webb has many talents A teacher, a preacher, a flower grower; all of these describe Mr. Jesse Webb. His African violets provide him with a diversion from his active life as an educator. At home he not only has many African violets, but also other rare and exotic flowers. This hobby is an expensive one, but when one loves flowers as much as Mr. Webb the expense is no obstacle. In both teaching and preaching, Mr. Webb has had much experience. He has been preaching for 25 years and plans to continue. In teaching, he has taught many different courses, such as: American History, Psychology, and Sociology. Currently he is involved in the Alternative Education program here at TCHS. He enjoys this program because it gives him a chance to work individually with the students. Mr. Webb is an example of TCHS’s talented facul- ty, who displays his talents with his teaching, preaching and flower growing. He is a respected member of TCHS.

Current- ly, she teaches Compensatory English, but for twenty years, she was involved in the field of medicine as a doctor’s assistant and as a school nurse. Her hobbies include fishing and sewing. She and her husband en- joy going to a favorite spot at Lake Talquin, but she is too busy to get away very often. Church is also very important in Mrs. Monroe’s life. She is in- volved in teaching pre-primary Sunday School. She also helps the members of her church by serving as their youth director. Although teaching is not the only involvement as a career that Mrs. Monroe has had, she has cer- tainly brought to it many ex- periences from her years in the medical profession. 34 Mr. Russell works hard in DCT program For years Mr. Bryant Russell was involved in two branches of the military, the Marine Corps and the Air Force. While in the military, he was in the field of aeronautics as a crew chief. Later he made a transi- tion from the field of aeronautics to the field of education. Saying, “Studying is where my in- terest lies,” explains his decision to change his career. Mr. Russell started his career in education in the classroom and then he became in- volved in the DCT program. As the coordinator of this program, he helps students get jobs and checks to assure that they're doing well. Mr. Russell is also involved in many different committees. He is a trustee on the board of NFJC, Presi- dent of the Taylor County Farm Bureau, and participates in other such activities. He has been serving this community in many different and valuable ways. When asked why he is so active, Mr. Russell replied, “If you’re going to be involved in something, do your best at it.” Roderick Rollings Russell Sewell Vandagriff Walker Webb Williams Summers Woodell 35 Non-Instructional Staff is a Big Piece! The operation of TCHS would not be possible without the sup- port of non-instructional staff. Teachers are essential, but it takes more to keep the pieces together. The grounds must be kept clean, students and teachers must be fed, and security must be top-notch. For these tasks TCHS has a special group of people: cafeteria staff, custodial staff, and security personnel. Jack Fennell is the security guard and head custodian for TCHS. His devotion is obvious due to all the hours he puts in. He has a round-the-clock job. Mr. Fennell is also responsible for see- ing that the school is kept up by the custodial staff. This is not a troublesome task, for the custo- dians know their jobs and do them well. The cafeteria staff is an impor- tant part of the puzzle at TCHS. They come through when students and teachers are depending on them to produce a well balanced meal that is appetizing and attrac- tive. The cafeteria staff was proud to announce at the beginning of the year that they had added a new piece to their puzzle — a salad bar with all the trimmings. Yum Yum, it’s good.

Alvin Barnes Ira Barnes Thomas Barnes 38 An integral part of the T.C.H.S. puzzle is the seniors. What is a senior, you ask? Well the dic- tionary defines it as “a person more advanced in dignity, rank, or office.” But the definition of a senior at T.C.H.S. is a teenager who is in his her last year of high school, and is about to go out into the world and make his her mark, so to speak. In fact some try to make their mark here. There are so many fun and exciting activities that happen in one’s senior year. For instance, there was an abundance of events and contests during the week of 1982 Seniors Homecoming '81. The seniors won the biggest sign contest and carried off the victory for the best float in the homecoming parade. All the fun wasn’t limited to Homecoming week, for we had many glorious weekends that we shall not forget. A senior could be found anywhere from the shop- ping mall parking lot to just “cruising” the city streets and just being a senior. Senior Officers: President.

Pam takes a break to get rid of her load of books. Mr. McGlocklin jams at the pep rally. The senior year is not all fun and excitement, for on the con- trary it is full of painstaking deci- sions and a lot of worries about what the future will hold. Deci- sions such as to whether or not to go to college and if so, what col- lege to attend. Also worries of whether or not your test scores or grade point average are high enough for you to be accepted at the college of your choice. The “Big Event” is the senior trip, one of the main objectives of the year, after all no one wanted to miss that. To finance the cruise to Nassau, the Seniors arranged a series of money-raising projects. With the help of Senior sponsors and the parents of Seniors, the projects proved to be very suc- cessful. Some of the projects were: the donut drive, fish fry, mum sale and the Senior Carnival. All the pieces fit together to form a suc- cessful and exciting year for the 1981-82 Senior class. 49 Harolyn Martin Charles Mason Debbie Massey Kenneth Miller Velma Miller 50 Vince Miller Willie Miller Dana Millinor Karen Millinor Kim Mincy 51 Hubert Norris Vickie Odom Shelly O’Steen Melanie Outland Marc Paden Kari Parker Dan Parkey Everett Parlor 52 Pandora Payne Dell Pigford Nina Pitts Tammy Porter Annette Powell Melody Powell It was a hard decision for many seniors in Nassau — which street to take.

The remnants of memories arc all that remain. Memories that won't be forgotten such as cheering at the football games, cramming for that final ex- am, and planning for that spec- tacular senior year. Also, the broken friendships of old and new friends and those special high school dreams we have had arc fresh. The time for making those important decisions is upon us.

During the course of one’s junior year he she will en- counter numerous state and college tests that re- quire hard work and dedication. These tests when combined with ad- vanced classes prove that the junior year is a dif- ficult one. Hard work isn’t limited just to tests and classes though Homecoming and the Junior Senior Prom must also be given a vast amount of time and effort to be successful. To finance the Junior- Senior Prom, the junior Juniors class sponsored a magazine drive. Those students who sold at least $100 worth of subscripline were eligible to become a member of the Century Club and therefore have a chance to participate in the plan- ning and decorating of the Prom. During Homecoming week, the juniors won the Superdog contest, due to their great amount of spirit and sup- port for their fellow juniors. Junior Officers are: Amalia Young, President; Terri Sneed, Vice President, Anne Burke, Secretary; Alex Murphy, Treasurer.

Top salesman was Floyd Alexander who raised $ 1,241.12. The entire class raised a total of $8,328.26 for the production of the Junior-Senior prom. Sponsors, parents, and juniors worked diligently to provide everyone with a memorable “Evening in Paris”.

Even though they're busy, most of the time a few have been caught and asked to make a comment about their Junior year. Connie Wentworth — “I have enjoyed my Junior year because of the Junior Honor Court An exciting part of Homecoming festivities is the election of the Honor Court Attendants for each grade. Each class nominates and elects three girls to represent them during homecoming week. The lovely Juniors chosen this year are Karen Jones, Cecilia Woodward and Sabrina Courtney. These girls rode in the parade and par- ticipated in other Homecoming activities.

Even if a student passes this dreaded test, he still must be remediated in the skills he didn’t master. It is not that hard, but just knowing that the test has to be passed before a student can receive a diploma can add additional stress to an already nervous student’s life. Assessment woes develop the week before the test is given and they climax the week the results are returned. In all, the students receive a great deal of help and support from their classroom teacher and the Guidance office. Although it’s a dif- ficult situation, everyone works to make the best of it. 72 Phyllis Smith Todd Smith Tony Smith Terrie Sneed Teresa Sons Karen Stalans James Stanley Victor Steadman Jim Sullivan Delaine Swindle Merrio Thomas Shelia Tuner Felicia Tuten Greg Walker Octavia Washington Top Left: Terrie Sneed is hard at work in a clean-up day that the Student Council sponsored.

They were liked by their peers and respected by their teachers. Their devilish smiles, winning ways and work earned them a place at Taylor County High School. That place is a void now due to their un- timely death. One must be reminded of the lines from John Donne’s famous poem when he said that death is not a finality, but just a beginning. Although these two young men are no longer a part of their class, their memories will linger in the minds of their classmates and in essence they will always be a part of this class. Youth lost will be retained in the minds of their classmates. Mike Parker’s fond support and yells in the Pep Rallies will long be remembered as well as Mike Mantazanas’ fondness and ability at playing golf. These two students will remain always, for death can not deny us our memories and friendships. Todd Knight Sabrina Courtney .

Realizing that they will be at the top soo has kept them full of spiri and has them looking for ward to the oncoming years. The Sophomore year s to be the most unique Sophomores year at high school. You’re not the lowest classman, like you were, but you’re not an upperclassman either. This year the sophomore class was a major piece of the puz- zle at TCHS. They made a big contribution to clubs, academics, and sports. Even though they go virtually unnoticed, the sophomores are carrying great hopes for the next two years of school. Keep your eye on the sophomores. They will be there soon! 77 Teresa Choice Cliff Coker Gayle Collins Eric Cone Michelle Cone Ricardo Cook Debbie Cooper Keith Counce John Courtney Melvin Cribbs Tanya Cruce Shelia Cutter Tim Davis Cathy Deese Sharon Diamond Doug Dickert Vicki Dickert Mike Dobson Wendell Driggers Amy Eckell William Edmond Walt Evans Mitzi Ezell Peggy Fain Kim Faircloth Show Makes Success of Life For Tommy Shaw, going to school isn’t as bad as we would expect it to be. When asked about the amputation of his leg. Tommy said, “Well what happened was I had a kidney failure at about 9 years old and had to have a vein brought up to the surface of my leg. During surgery the vein clotted and caused amputation. When we think of Tommy and how he deals with his problem, we think it should be very difficult, but it isn't. 78 Kimberly Faircloth Tammie Faircloth Sylvia Flowers Teresa Flowers Tracy Foster Kathy Fox Sonja Franklin Kevin Frisbee Jack Gaines Jay Gamble Vicki Glass Raymond Glover David Goff Michelle Goodman Lisa Grambling Sophomore Honor Court The 1981-82 sophomore Honor Court consisted of Robin Brown, Joanne Brad- dock, and Beth Wood. They were chosen by their classmates to represent the tenth grade during Homecoming week. In choosing the Honor Court, each stu- dent nominates two people in his or her class. Later, after all the votes are counted, the three girls with the most nominations become members of this prestigious court. They represent their class by riding in the Homecoming parade and by appearing at the football game during halftime. 79 Donna Grani hum Sherri Granthum Tammic Grim Heather Gunter Juanita Hall Brenda Harris David Hart Dawn Hart field Nancy Hendrix Chris Hcrig Bobbi Higgins James High Leah Hill Chcri Holley Gary Horner Jim Houck Laurie Houck Johncl Hugger Sylvester Hugger Andrea Hughes Johnny Hurst David Jackson Nancy Jackson Kalvin Johnson Richie Johnson Cynthia Jones Theresa King Pam Kinsey Jimmy Kuen Shawn Laliberty Maria Landers Lisa Leggett Kevin Lewis Stan Linton Gary Livingston Kelly Lundy Kevin Lynn Katina Manlzanas Tina Mathis Dianne McHolmc ftn Pam McLain George McLeod Nita McLeod Sue McMullen Galvin McNeal Cheryl McNutt Kenny Medeiros Billy Merlo Pauline Miller Mike Mincy Andrew Mintz Glenn Monroe Susan Moore Karl Morgan Kim Morgan Mary Morgan Rhonda Morgan James Morris Robin Mosley Fred Murphy Studying can get old if you aren’t careful. 81 Dallas Myers Trellis Nealy Jeff Nelson Jeff Newberry Ashley Newell Roby Newport Michelle Newman Robby Nowlin Daryl Oliver John Mangum Donna Padgett Patrick Padgett David Page Gene Parker Tracy Parker Kamal Patel Miacael Pierce Fairly Pitts Shawanda Porter Michael Powell Work, work, and more work is what school is! 82 And I have to carry all these books?

He is bet- ween the senior who is at the top of the totem pole and the junior who is waiting for the seniors’ vacancy, and the freshman who fan- tasizes on that chance to become a senior. Fighting to regain recognition and to main- tain a prominent place in the school, the class of 84, like the minutemen, is determined to make that move to the top. Every student must cooperate and work hard together to make a winning and successful class. Moving up into the world of upperclassmen and ready to take on the responsibility of becoming a Junior is the goal of a sophomore. Tenth grade is in limbo — neither lowerclass, nor upperclass. The name seems to apply because the entire class as sophomores seem to be the minuteers, but soon all sophomores will be released and will start eleventh grade as upperclassmen. 85 Jessie Alexander Ashley Allen Kathy Archer Larry Barnes Regina Bell Amos Bcllany Michael Bennett Clay Bethea Kim Bishop Kedra Blair Jason Blanton Wendi Blue Christine Botello Brett Bowman Vcridna Bradley ...

As freshmen they’re taken for granted and are not given due credit. Freshmen are a unique part of the puzzle at TCHS. They add an air of nau Senior high is a new beginning for the “lowly” freshman. They now are beginning their struggle for independence and recognition in the corridors of TCHS. This takes a lot of hard work .Freshmen and being trampled on. But once accepted, it is very worthwhile. The freshmen just started the pieces of their TCHS puzzle. They are taken for granted by the Sophomores.

This is what Academics is all about — taking what we have learned in the past and applying it to the future. It’s a process of prepara- tion. It’s a daily process where the set goal for each day is to be more prepared for tomorrow. The students at Taylor High realize that the best place to start preparing for tomorrow is school. School is where they learn about themselves and set their goals for tomorrow. The cur- riculum program at Taylor High provides students many oppor- tunities to become ac- quainted with the career they are interested in. For those who are seeking a college educa- tion classes such as com- puter science, physics, trigonometry and calculus are offered. For those who are interested in job trades, there are carpentry and power mechanics. 97 Parkey and Edwards Honored With Awards One might describe Dan Parkey as a contemporary “Man for all Seasons” because of his academic and athletic abilities. As a concerned and dedicated student, he has worked hard and is not be- ing recognized for his efforts by receiving the DAR Good Citizenship Award, the Math Award, the Photography Journalism Award, Co-Science Award, and Project Pride Math Award. Despite all these awards, Dan continues to maintain his low-key personality and quiet demeanor which has won him the respect of his peers and the professional staff of TCHS. Study- ing is not his only interest, for he is a fine golfer and has been a member of the school’s golf team for four years. In addition to his academic and sports interests, Dan has served as President of the Key Club, Lt. Governor of the Key Club, participated in Boys’ State in Tallahassee and has been active in a number of community and church ac- tivities. After graduation this June, he plans to enroll in the University of Ten- nessee and pursue a major in Aerospace Engineering. Dan’s academic ability has been recognized at the district and state levels by the National Honor Society, for he will represent the north Florida District in the state Brain Brawl Competition for the second year this spring. Each year the choral director, Mrs. Dalene McGlocklin, selects the student who, she feels, has given the most outstanding support and performance in the chorus program. This year that award goes to Julie Edwards, who is a member of the Taylor Singers and has participated in mixed chorus and Girls Ensemble during her school years. In addition to being recognized for her music talent, Julie has also been chosen to receive the Project Pride Social Studies Award which recognizes outstanding interest and ability in that area. After graduation this June, she plans to attend college and major in music. 98 T r Dana enjoys springtime. Awards Given to Millinor, Martin and Swindle Receiving the Foreign Language Award this year is Dana Millinor, who has worked diligently in Spanish. She has not only learned to speak Spanish quite well, but has also spent much time studying the people, the culture and their way of life. Dana has also been very active in senior trip activities and the Student Council during her school years. Dalane Swindle is being recognized for her outstanding contributions to the Future Homemakers of American Organization in addition to her classroom work in Home Economics. She continues to learn and perform in an excellent manner in Home Economics. She is respected for her work for the club and for her individual accomplishments. Dalene pauses a moment from busy schedule. Writing has always been an interest and passion for Harolyn Martin who is being recognized for her achieve- ment in this area by receiving the Project Pride Writing Award and the TCHS’ English Award. She had con- stantly maintained high grades in English and has demonstrated an outstanding proficiency in writing. She has submitted her work to a number of contests and will be continuing this this spring when she participates in the annual Florida Council Teachers of English Writing Competition. Harolyn has also written many articles for the Orange-Blueprint, our school newspaper. She has also been active in the National Honor Society. 99 Chesser and Demps Recognized by Band The John Philip Sousa and the Marine Corps Awards are honors given to Senior Band members who have been dedicated participants in the band program. This participation must extend over a period of years. This year’s John Philip Sousa Award goes to Beth Chesser, First Lieutenant of the 1982 Senior Band. The U.S. Marine Corps Marching Award goes to Sabrina Demps, 1982 Band Captain. Both students have continued to make outstanding contributions to the band in addition to becoming Fine musicians. They have earned the respect of their peers and the professional staff of Taylor Coun- ty High School. Beth is a busy student, for in addition to her activities in the band, she is also serving as President of the National Honor Society and as Treasurer of Little Women. She is also being recognized for her ability and knowledge in the area of science as co-science award winner. Her activities extend beyond school involvement, for she is very active in church and other community activities. Beth plays the clarinet, is the clarinet section leader and is a marching band squad leader. After graduating this June, she plans to attend Stetson University and major in government or political science. Serving as President of Little Women in addition to her heavy schedule as Band Captain has kept Sabrina very busy this year. Her interests and activities also extend to the year- book staff where she has worked on the Senior Section. In the band, Sabrina plays the saxophone, serves as section leader and as a marching band squad leader. After graduation this June, Sabrina plans to attend Florida A M University but is undecided about her major. Sabrina also works very hard in her church and other community activities. She serves as a member of TCHS’s Parent Advisory Committee and as one of TCHS’s representatives on the District Parent Advisory Committee. Both the U.S. Marine Corps Award and the John Philip Sousa Award winners are nominated and selected by their respective band members. These band members take pride in iccognizing members who make outstanding contributions to ihe band. A special salute goes to these two young women. Sabrina takes a moment to reflect on her future. 100 Hughes Saluted For Yearbook Work Serving as Co-editor of the yearbook has been no easy task, but indeed a rewarding one for Michelle Hughes, recipient of the Journalism Award. Michelle’s interests and activities in high school extend far beyond just her writing and layout skills for the yearbook. She has earned the respect and admiration of her fellow peers and the entire professional staff for her work in the Future Homemakers of America both at the local, district and state levels. She has worked diligently in her church and served as a member of the band and the special choral groups for the school. Her talents are many and she is also one of the ten students from our school to be recognized as an outstanding writer for the project Pride Writing Awards spon- sored by state Education Commissioner Ralph D. Turlington. As co-editor, Michelle had to learn to balance the creative aspects with the businesss respon- sibilities for production. Beth relaxes from school. Michelle takes time from busy schedule. 101 Newspaper — Journalism Award Shared by Moore and Wilson The Journalism award goes to students who have exhibited out- standing interests and talents in the Journalism field. This year the Jour- nalism award had co-recipients; Orange Blucprint Editor Sharon Moore and Sports Editor Jim Wilson. Sharon was a Varsity Cheerleader in addition to being the Newspaper Editor. Jim was a member of the T.C.H.S. Baseball team. Putting a school newspaper together is no easy task, but these two dedicated students succeeded and were justly rewarded for their efforts. Both these students learned that the glory that comes with being leaders in student publications also carries with it many heavy respon- sibilities. Deadlines often would rile tempers, but cooperation and leader- ship of two such as these won out so the school could produce an out- standing newspaper. 102 Evans Receives Sophomore Award The outstanding Sophomore award goes each year to the 10th grader who is most active in academics and extracurricular ac- tivities. This year’s recipient, Walt Evans, is certainly this. Not only is Walt a member of the National Honor Society, he also participates in Marching and Concert Band, is a member of the T.C.H.S baseball team, and the Key Club, works on the Year- book Staff, and is President of the Methodist Youth group. Be- ing involved in so many activities and keeping up a good grade point average is certainly a trying task, and keeps Walt busy. “It’s all worth it,” says Walt, and it should be, because with such a good start, his future looks very bright. ¥ Parker and Freeman Are Honored Each year, the high school business department gives an award to the student who has shown an outstanding interest and ability in business. Geri Freeman received the T.C.H.S. Business Award this year. T.C.H.S. offers Typing I, Accounting I and II, business law and business math to those students interested. Kari Parker received the W.O.W. (Woodmen of the World) History Award this year. She is the president of the senior class, Homecoming Queen, and has worked very diligently to organize the senior trip. She was given this award on the basis of the number of courses in the area and her grades in those classes. 103 Smith Receives Student Body Award and Scott Is Recognized for Art Talent The Student Body Award is given annually to the senior who has shown the most concern for the student body. Tina Smith was selected this year for she has given untold hours of service to the school in her role as President of the Student Council. Tina is a member of the National Honor Society and Little Women. She also serves as a member of the School Advisory Committee. The Art Award is given to the art student who has been a dedicated member of the art club and shows outstanding interests and talents in art. This year, Todd Scott received this honor. Todd has been a member of the art club for 4 years. He also does art work on his own such as drawing and air brushing T-shirts. 104 Harrington and Porter Singled Out for Honors This year, the D.C.T. award was given to Tammy Porter who has received an A average on the job by her employer. Tammy is employed by Porter’s Crab Co. Eleanor Harrington, a senior at T.C.H.S., has been rewarded for her outstanding talents in Science by receiving the Project PRIDE (Program to Recognize Initiative and Distinction in Education) award. PRIDE is a new program which was organized by the Florida Department of Education. Teachers nominate students for this award based on the number of Science classes they have taken, and their grades in these courses. Although awards are announced at the end of the First semester, they are not officially “awarded” until shortly before graduation and this year proved no ex- ception. Awards night was May 31, a night that parents celebrated along with their sons daughters. Awards do not come easily nor are they taken lightly by these outstanding students. These students who have been singled out by their peers or instructors for various honors realize that now, they have an even greater responsibility — they must soar to greater heights. They have been recognized for their achieve- ment and now they must continue. Awards are always considered one of the most coveted pieces of TCHS’ puzzle and will continue to be so. Scholarships and honors signify an end and a beginning for these outstanding students. TCHS is proud of them and the trail of glory which they leave. 105 SPORTS The sports program has always been a major contributor of en- thusiasm, spirit, and excitement in our school. It provides motivation for excellence and determination for achievement. It is the bir- thplace of our athletic heroes — those who average three touchdowns each football game or twen- ty points each basketball game. Sports provides a chance for each athlete to prove his strength and agility against his most keen competitors. Whether it is in track, basketball, golf, volleyball, or football, satisfaction is gained through victory — victory in sub- duing the competition and victory in being able to say “We’ve won!” 107 Sharon Moore Mascot — Amy Wigglcsworth Sabrina Courtney Sponsor — Faye Roberts Picture Not Available Sharon Moore, Myrlcne Jackson, Diana Ellison, Kristen Fraser, Tami Lewis, Sabrina Courtney, Amy Wigglesworth. For the 1981-82 Varsity cheerleaders, cheerleading wasn’t all glamour. The season started with a four day convention in Jacksonville where the girls displayed their cheerleading talents and received a superior rating. During the school year, pom- pom routines, skits, cheers, and chants for Pep rallies and Friday night games became the focal points for these seven dedicated young women. Co-captain Diana Ellison Myrlenc Jackson Tami Lewis At this year’s football banquet, the Varsity girls were recognized and awarded trophies for all of their efforts and support throughout the year. Special recognition was awarded to some of the girls on the squad who displayed exceptional qualities. Special awards given to cheerleaders are as follows: Most Valuable — Diana Ellison; Most Outstanding Myrlene Jackson; Most Improved — Sharon Moore; Most Spirited - Sabrina Courtney; Most Congenial Kristen Fraser. The Varsity cheerleaders accomplished many new cheers and stunts under the leadership of the new chccrlcading sponsor Mrs. Faye Roberts.

Coach Holt, known at TCHS as the Dean of the coaches, worked diligently to produce a winning season. His rewards were many and so were the team’s. There were also the moments of despair, but all of these are just part of the sports puzzle piece of TCHS. Tired muscles, sweaty clothes and hours of practice all add up to experience for the future. Team building and individual peraonality building are all byproducts of TCHS's active sports program and basket- ball is no exception.

Coach Lawrence Holt 120 Coach Jim Lee Bulldogs Post Losing Season The 1981 football season was expected to bring fame and glory to Taylor County, since most experts predicted the defending District 2-AAA Champs to again be one of the strongest teams in the area. But instead of receiving trophies of gold and silver, the Bulldogs collected barrels of heartbreaks and disappointments and fumbled their way to an unimpressive 3-7 record. Besides running head-on with the Leon Lions, rated the third best high school football team in America by the PHOENIX SPORTS NEWS SERVICE and number one in the class AAA squads in the state of Florida, the Bulldogs were overwhelmed by such foes as Live Oak, North Marion and Marianna, who handed Taylor an 18-8 defeat at homecoming. For the first time in many years. Perry was completely shut-out by its Tallahassee op- ponents. Along with Leon, Godby, Rickards and Lincoln, all recorded victories over the Bulldogs. Taylor County head Coach Elmer Coker knew what his Bulldogs had to do to beat the Godby Cougars, but he discovered that know- ing and doing are two different things as TCHS fumbled away its first game 25-12. Before the game, Coker had said the Bulldogs had to avoid beating themselves. He was right. The Bulldogs seemingly did everything in their power to give the game to the Cougars. The following week at home, the Bulldogs stumbled across a tailback named Ben Washington, who rushed for 185 yards on 25 carries and was credited with three touchdowns on runs of 19, 31, and 63 yards. Coach Coker did see some improvement, but evidently there wasn’t enough as the Bulldogs fell 20-7 to the Lincoln Trojans. 121 Blood, Sweat and Tears Earn Few Victories It was on the road again the next week, as the Bulldogs traveled to Ocala for a war with North Marion. Like two weeks before, Taylor was hit with five turnovers and dropped a 28-12 decision to the Colts to then have a record of 0-3. The season was off to a very slow start but also under difficult circumstances. The Florida Gators were scheduled to play in the dreaded Tiger stadium at LSU on Saturday evening, but not even the great Bayou Bowl could match the intensi- ty in Dorsett Stadium the night before, as the Bulldogs came up with their first win of the season, a 34-6 thrashing over Jacksonville’s Bishop Kenny. Coker called the win a “total team victory” without any individual stars. Arch-rival Suwannee County left Perry with a 21-0 defeat in the Bulldgos’ next contest, and coming up was the anticipa- tion of Homecoming 1981. The foe was a Bulldog team from Marianna, which encountered Perry’s best offensive show of the year. Taylor County rolled up 295 yards, but somehow it just wasn’t enough as the Marianna Bulldogs spoiled TCHS’ Homecoming, 18-8. Two weeks later came the massacre of 1981. Evidently the Leon Lions were remembering their 7-6 loss to TCHS in the 1981 season, because they took no pity on the lowly Bulldogs and slaughtered Perry 63-13 in front of a hometown crowd. Mer- cy seemed not to be around that night. The Bulldogs were gallant in their loss. Follow- ing a 20-8 loss to Rickards, another capital city team, the Bulldogs fought and scrat- ched to gain their second victory of the season. The victims were the Quincy Shanks Tigers, who fell to Taylor County 18-14. TCHS’ offense again came up with an impressive total. The Bulldogs recorded 294 yards, which probably accounted for the victory. Although the 1981 season was a disap- pointing one, the Bulldogs ended the fall campaign on a good note. Coach Coker us- ed many younger players and came away with a 27-26 victory over Madison County to give Taylor County a 3-7 final record. 122 Although dreams of victory turned to tears of bitterness, the season will long be remembered by all. The experiences the players gained and the knowledge of defeat will stand them well in difficult times in life. After all, the hours of practice trained and trimmed their bodies and prepared them for the heat of battle. The constant mental battles helped prepare them for the stress and pressures of life after they enter the world of work. Athletics does more than just give moments of glory on the field and sudden recognition to the game’s hero. The coaches work hard to train the players not just for the game now but for the bigger games ahead. The season was frustrating and some quit, but the majority remained and fulfilled their contract to be a true Bulldog. With defeat, also comes victory. We are proud of our Bulldogs of 1982.

Their tears for defeat were swept away momentarily with moments of glory. They realized that the school and the community were very proud of everything they had accomplished. Seniors in the final line-up below are Hank Evans, Billy Blue, Hubert Norris, Marc Paden, Stacey Holton, James Granthum, Jeff Courtney, Alvin Barnes, Everett Parlor, Charles Thomas, Brad Lee, Howard Denmark, Shannon Stevens, John White, Walt Hendry, Ernie Walker — Captain below: Everyone needs a break above: James is “bustin’ loose’’ above: Coker’s boys line up for inspection 124 Shannon and Hank grin with glory! Senior players rack up .. . Outstanding Players Recognized at Banquet Some of the bruises are gone, the crowds are no longer cheering, but there will always be those memories of a senior year as a football player. They are even greater when you are one who has worked so hard and excelled to be recognized as an outstanding team member during the an- nual football banquet. The Quarterback Club along with the school, work hard to make this occasion a great moment for these young men. Perhaps the most prestigious Award is the Most Valuable Player and this was awarded to Shannon Stephens. He also received the Faircloth Ford Scholarship and the Hardee’s Offensive Player Award. The 1981 Bulldog team captain Ernie Walker received the Scholastic Award and the Winston Cannon Award. The Defen- sive Back Award went to Hank Evans. Other players honored were James Gran- tham, Charles Thomas, Hubert Norris, Steve Slaughter, Howard Denmark, and James Fisher. Steve Slaughter was ac- claimed the Most Outstanding Sophomore on the team. All team members were honored with new jackets and each member of the junior varsity received certificates of merit for their efforts during the 1981 -82 season. Memories of the season and the evening will linger long in the minds of these young men. This is just one more piece of the puz- zle for TCHS. Fisher in the spotlight. Outstanding players present their awards for the year. 125 Seniors Are Saluted for Efforts Senior Players: Back row left to right: Ken Lee, James Granthum, Alvin Barnes, Shannon Stevens, Billy Blue, Ernie Walker, Stacey Holton, (center) John White, Howard Denmark, Jeff Courtney, Hank Evans, Walt Hendry, Hubert Nor- ris, (front) Sid Hill, Brad Lee, Sylvester Bellamy. 126 Below: Hank holds for kickoff by Charles. 127 J.V. Football Builds for Future J.V. Football was played with inexperienced members who fell short of their goal. The 81 J.V. team size was no problem, it was just a lack of experience that plagued them all year. Although as far down as the boys would be, they stayed a fighting team till the clock ran down. 128 Get that ball boys!!! Volleyball Team Struggles Through Season The gym was silent as the player approached the serving line and proceeded to serve. This marked the beginning of our season for the 1981-82 girl’s volleyball team. Their record was a disappointment but in the future years we will maintain a great record that can be attributed to their skills in fundamentals. This year the team was a little less am- bitious as a team than the previous years, claimed the fans. Their strength lay in hitting and their problem was not togetherness as a team, claimed coach Peggy Williams. Although she feels upset about losing 7 games she is sure to have a great season next year.

Contrary to popular belief, golf is not just a sport for boys. Bridgette Fife proved this by becoming the first girl member of the TCHS golf team. Jesse Webb is the coach of the team. They practiced every day after school to improve their play- ing ability and get ready for competition. GOLFSCHEDULE Maclay Quincy Godby Lincoln Bay High Rickards Mosley High Lincoln Aucilla Leon Munroe Chiefland Live Oak They competed against several tough teams from Tallahassee and also Aucilla Christian, who is one of the better teams in the state. In their matches, five members of the team played and the top four scores were counted. As in the past, the team had an excellent season and made TCHS proud. The golf team has traditionally ranked in the top of the district and this year was no exception. With the leadership and guidance of Coach Webb, the golf team had a most successful season. Golf Coach, Jessie Webb swings hard. Bridgette Fife is the sole female player. 130 Justin Webb Travis Coker Golfers Sometimes Find Adventure Wide open spaces and beautiful country clubs is what a lot of people think about golf. Even the students tend to overlook it, for it really isn’t that much of a spectator sport especially when most of your mat- ches are played during school or so far from campus that it is a task to get there. Senior Dan Parkey in action. Golf team members will tell you that all those myths aren’t true, that people do come and watch and that, indeed, golfing is a challenging sport where you might find yourself in the woods, the water or the sand. Precise put- ting can often make the biggest difference in scores. In all, the players develop patience and skill as they practice their game. 131 TEAMS PLAYED Leon Jasper Rickards Wakulla Florida High God by Lincoln Marianna Aucilla Madison Hernando High Seniors: Left to right: Alvin Banres, Aaron Price, Jim Wilson, Greg Sin, mons, and Charles Thomas.

Team- work was apparent, but there was great pride in homerooms and other individual efforts. 134 Girls’ Softball Is Spring Sport Initiating a new sports program is always difficult and has its moments of despair, but also moments of greatness. For several years TCHS has had a girls soft- ball team, but it is now gain- ing more attention and sup- port. It is proving to be worth the time and effort, for it does provide additional athletic events for student participation and training.

A new sport for TCHS this year is the weightlifting team which is coach- ed by D. J. Johnson. Team members are learning much about body development and concentration. Hours are spent in the weight room by these students. They are competing and doing well within district competition. Running track is always a favorite of many students. In this sport they can work to achieve personal fame. Individual efforts and team efforts count together. Coach Elmer Coker is coaching the boys and he feels that many players who will be going out for football in the fall can certainly benefit from these events. The team has placed both first, second, and third in district competition. Track Team Members: First Row — Mark Yarborough, Dan Taylor, Clay Evans, Anthony Williams, Keith Ragans, Terry Heatherly Second Row — Anthony White, Hank Evans, Ped Sessions, Chris Gunter, Wilkie Gibson, and Steve Slaughter. Third Row — Ronnie Whittle, Brad Hatcher, Steve Wigglcsworth, Fareligh Pitts, Fourth Row — James Cook, Shannon Stevens and Chico Griffin. Weight Lifting Team Members: First Row — Sid Hill, Coach D. J. Johnson and Clay Evans. Second Row — Tony Williams, Andy Bethea and Chris Gunter and Brad Hatcher. 136 GIL-i- ORGANIZATIONS At TCHS we take pride in our clubs and organizations. Clubs and organizations provide a chance for each student to become involved in school and community activities. Whether you are a freshman who is in- terested in Spanish or a Senior who enjoys play- ing a trumpet, you can find your place in the TCHS puzzle by joining various clubs and organizations. Clubs and organizations give an in- dividual the opportunity to express himself men- tally and physically. He learns how to com- municate and relate har- monically with other peo- ple, and in doing so, prepares himself for his role in society. 139 The 1981-82 T.C.H.S. Student Council deserves credit for many activities which it sponsored during the school year. Under the leadership of President Tina Smith and sponsors Bill Summers and Sebe Ratliff, the Student Council has undertaken many projects this year. These include dances and many new projects such as Thanksgiv- ing baskets for the needy and cleaning the trophy cases. Homecoming, a time for bringing T.C.H.S. alumni back to join the student body of today, was mostly the pro- duct of this group’s hard work. Contests such as cram-a-space, superdog, scream- ing, biggest sign, best sign, best parade en- try and hall decorations, as well as the traditional dance were all part of the undertakings of the Student Council.

These in- cluded answering phones for the Jerry Lewis Telethon, helping with Toys for Tots and donating blood to the annual blood drive. They also participated in many school activities such as donating a Thanksgiving basket and winn- ing the best sign contest. The N.H.S. initiated the Big Brother Big Sister program for the freshmen. Members also tutored and participated in the an- nual Brain Brawl. To become a member of N.H.S. a student must obtain a 3.65 grade point average and maintain at least a 3.5 grade point average. 142 FBLA T.C.H.S.' Future Business Leaders of America (F.B.L.A.) has worked to serve the communi- ty and better its members through service projects such as preparing a Thanksgiving basket and decorating a Christmas tree for the Nursing home. They also par- ticipated in District contest. The group is led by Business teacher Merle Dugal. 1st row — Amalia Young. Donna McDonald, Karen Jones. Sondra Lanier. Chris Hagan.

Learning the difference between the correct way to put out instead of just put- ting out a newspaper every month, students also take part in a Jour- nalism course. Learning the dif- ference between the correct way to put out a newspaper and the in- correct way is the main change this year and the paper shows much improvement. The Orange Blueprint, now in its eighth year of publication, competes annually to keep up its standard of ex- cellence. A member of the American Scholastic Press Association and the Florida Scholastic Press Association, the monthly newspaper which is self- supporting, contains editorials, feature stories, advertising and much more. Their sponsor, Marge Woodell, and editor, Sharon Moore, work diligently throughout the whole school year to make sure all operations run smoothly. 144 Jimmy checks out his handiwork. Connie checks out the files. Left: Anne Burke, Sharon Moore, Art CnbbsJeanni Horne Bets Bmokes, The Library Media Club, a newly formed club at T.C.H.S., is mainly concerned with the promotion of interests in reading for pleasure and various types of media such as video, 16 and 8 mm. movies and com- puters. Money-making activities also proved to be im- portant to them so they became involved in projects such as Book Fairs in order to meet their Financial needs. Although this is one of the newest clubs at T.C.H.S., we expect to be seeing a lot more of them in the future. Led by faculty sponsor Joann Sewell and President Juanita Coxwell, this club is destined for great things. 1st row — Chris Herig, Mrs. Sewell, Angela Wright, Gary Batten, Juanita Coxwell, Tasha Hendry, Terri McLain, Nita McLeod, 2nd row — Amy Wigglesworth, Kevin Frisby, Mary Morgan. 146 Vo Tech FBLA • VIC A Mrs. Bell, Wendy Raulerson, Pam York, Lisa Crucc, Lee McHargue, Robin Leight, Robin Byrd, Kim McCall, Sherri Hightower, Trina Wiggens.

The members must sell at least $100 worth of magazines to determine their membership. This year the Juniors got off to a slow start, but finally raised $16,695. How these students with the help of their junior sponsors and their parents turn Forest Capitol Hall in- to an amazing wonder each year continues to baffle almost everyone, but most school staff members and students know that it is the diligent work of the students coupled with the leadership and support of the teachers and the parents which makes all of this possible. Junior sponsors for the 1981-82 year are Mrs. Marge Woodell, Mrs. Maries Ezell, Mrs. Pat Ketring, Mrs. Merle Dugal, Coach Ratliff, Mrs. Anne Morgan, Mrs. Estic Rollings and Mr. Vandagriff. 151 KEY CLUB LITTLE WOMEN Two of the most active groups at T.C.H.S. are the Little Women Club and its brother organization the Key Club. Academic Achieve- ment and a pleasing personality are standards for membership in both clubs. This year, the Little Women tackled such projects as selling balloons at football games and landscaping the school with the help of the Key Club. The Key Club's many activities this year included selling Christmas trees with the Kiwanis Club and delivering meals for TAMP. Not only do these two clubs work, but they also enjoy social activities in- cluding a Christmas party and a hayridc. Under the leadership of faculty sponsors Glenda Hamby and A1 Rother, these service organizations accomplished many service projects to better the school and community.

Everyone thinks that being on the staff requires nothing more than taking pictures, stamping pictures and selling ads. They forget about the hours spent designing layouts and writing copy. Getting out of class to sell ads is fun, but there is great deal of hard work that goes along with it too. Co-editor Michelle Hughes and Advisor Glenda Hamby ponder a layout problem for the book Staff artist Kevin Slaughter gives advice to Faculty Editors Tina Smith and Angie Aman To capture this year’s memorable moments took a lot of hard work and patience. They spent hours learn- ing to write copy, draw layouts, know where and when to take pictures, and who to take them of. The goal at the beginning of the year was to sell as many ads as possible. This is very important, for ads are the main source of income for the yearbook. Winni an award from the National Scholastic Press Associa- tion would be a great honor and accomplishment for the staff. In the past, they have won a third place and a second place. They are striving to win a first place award. Members of the staff attend a seminar each year. At the seminar, they meet students from across the state and learn about new printing and layout methods. The yearbook is a member of the Florida Scholastic Press Association and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. 154 The underclass layouts were all handled efficiently by Jeff Farnell, Rene Williams, Velma Collier and Keith Regans. Above: Mike Dobson, Walt Evans, Sondra Lanier and Melissa Gardiner work hard to meet deadline time on the organizations section. Left: Renee Williams and Keith Ragans wrap up the Junior section. Putting out the yearbook is not always an easy task, for the students on the staff must learn to work together in stressful situations. Sometimes the going gets rough, but everyone must learn to cooperate in order to produce the kind of yearbook that the staff and the school can be proud of. 155 Senior section members Ken, Jeff, Sbrinna, Tammy and Dean work hard to meet deadlines. Above: Dean helps identify pictures with Kevin and Jason. At right: are Jason, Gina, Myrlene, Willie and Velma working diligently identifying copy. Co-editor Jeff and Dan sort pictures for ads to make business work out. 156 TAYLOR SINGERS Kent and Tami entertain students. An exciting combination of singing and dancing is what makes the Taylor Singers such a pleasure to watch and hear. It is also exciting for the performers themselves because they are doing their chorus work a little differently. As Donna McDonald said, “Singing and dancing keep this from being a boring, ho-hum type of class.” The Taylor Singers have had many op- portunities to perform around Perry for various com- munity groups and for all the schools. The Main Men” of the singers do a 50’s number. Girls: Amy Wigglcsworth, Merrio Thomas, Tami Lewis, Julie Edwards, Sheila Cutter, Pam Sons, Cindy Courtney. Cecilia Woodward, Amy Whitfield, Kristen Fraser, Teresa Sons, Donna Day McDonald, Anna Carbo, and Tina Kinsey. Boys: Joe Trofemuk. Todd Shealy, Kent Ted- der. Walt Hamby. Mike Morris. Brad l.ee.

FHA The T.C.H.S. chapter of the F.H.A., Future Homemakers of America, is made up of students who are enrolled or have been en- rolled in Home Economics classes. Each year all F.H.A. members attend district meetings. A few students, selected on a basis of points earned for participation in chapter activities, attend state conventions. The chapter com- petes with other chapters at both the district and state levels for Honor Rolls, state offices, district offices and community projects. The T.C.H.S. chapter has earn- ed the Red Rose Honor Roll, which is the highest a chapter can receive, for several years. Fund raising activities, and community and school projects are executed during the year to assist the chapter in making the honor roll at state conventions. 162 TCHS MARCHING BULLDOC A scene to remember always. Car washes, bake sales and flea markets were only a part of the fund-raising projects that the band under- took this year. Their trip to Washington, D.C. was the reward for all of their hard work and determination and it was definitely worth all of the trouble. Being accepted to the Cherry Blossom Festival Parade was an honor in itself, for there were only two bands from each state that were chosen to participate. It would have been impossible for the band to have made this wonderful trip without the support of their parents, the school community, and the many band supponeres in the entire county and the guidance of their Band Director, Izell Montgomery, and their Parent Chairman, Alan Suben. Efforts paid off for these students, for they have a puzzle piece in their memories that they will long remember — the puzzle piece of Washington, D.C. 163 Playing for pep rally raises spirit.

It serves two significant purposes. It supplies money which makes it possible for the yearbook to be bigger and better. The Ad section helps finance the cost of special photo effects, col- or printed photos, graphics, and other creativity which appear on the pages of the year- book. As a second pur- pose the Ad section pro- vides a small history of Taylor County. On its pages are all of the businesses which were operating during the year that the book was pro- duced. It not only in- cludes the names of the businesses, but also pic- tures and addresses. The yearbook staff would like to thank all the businesses who sup- ported them this year. It’s nice to know that there are thoughtful and dependable people in our community. qOltfNIE 171 NORTH FLORIDA JUNIOR COLLEGE NFJC Offers a Wide Variety of Programs Associate of Arts Degree for Transfer Associate of Applied Science Degree: Business Administration Journalism Secretarial Science Law Enforcement Certificates Secretarial Business Vocational Office Education Occupational Training Atuo Mechanics Practical Nursing Cosmetology Health Service Aid Drafting — Masonry — Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Adult Education and Community Services Opportunities to Participate: Student Government — Drama — Music Social, Cultural and Sports Activities 173 Congratulations Seniors! from L.

Place Your Final Piece with Care With the warmth that comes in the spring air, the pieces of the puzzle are almost cemented with the glue of good fortune and memory. Like other years before it, this year has had its hard times. There have been times of grief and despair. There have been times of disgust and fright, but there have always been moments of triumph and joy. The long winter months are past us now, and with the dawning of spring, we see a broader and more vibrant prospective of life. It’s a time of progress and a time of fear. Freshmen move from fear to security when they become sophomores, and seniors move from security to fear as they prepare for the outside world. For some it will be an end, but for many it is the beginning of a bright future. Graduation is the final puzzle piece. The prom is behind us, and the trip will be warmly remembered. The future beckons us, and with each call it gives, our hearts are eager to answer — not knowing what awaits us. The TCHS Puzzle Is Complete for 1982 — Frame It Well This book was especially designed and produced for By Taylor Publishing Company, Dallas, Texas 80 lb. enamel paper stock Times Roman Type Embossed Hand-tooled Cover Columbia Scholastic-Press Association 2nd Place. Florida Student Press Association Advisor — Glenda Hamby Editors — Michelle Hughes and Dan Parkey The puzzle is now complete, and with its completion, the memories of a great year are seal- ed in its many pieces. For Seniors, it’s the end of high school days, but for freshmen it’s the beginning. It’s hard to believe that the year swept by so fast, but through good times and bad times, we have managed to keep ourselves together. What would we do without caring teachers, friends, and parents? They have been with us from the beginning and vow to stand by our side until the end. As graduation day approaches, we find that our high school years mean more to us than just four years of education. There are moments that we want to cherish, and for that reason the 1982 Sampler was published. It is a co lection of thoughts and picture from the past which capture ou hearts and preserve them for th future. The final puzzle piece is i place. It is time to frame an preserve for the memories of th future. Use your puzzle for a fu life. 208
