Playing all the favorites from the past school year, including rock, country, pop and soul. FM 86 — your station for future memories. — i Wake Me Up 7:20 Overslept — again! I flew into the shower, brushed my teeth and jumped into my clothes. 7:30 Inhaling my burnt toast, I spilled hot chocolate all down my new white dress. 7:35 After frantically searching through my drawers for a change of clothes, 1 dressed for the second time that morning. I gathered my 25 pounds of books and unfinished assignments and ran out the door leaving my keys behind. (Thank goodness for the spare key under the floormat.) 7:37 I threw my books and stuff into my thirsty car and attempted to start tne motor. 7:42 Riding on fumes, I coasted into the gas station. Luckily the car died next to the pumps. 7:55 Dust and sand flew everywhere as I ''squealed'' into the student parking lot. After circling two times I had to park in the underclassmen'' section. (Talk about degrading.) 7:57 My school books and papers tumbled out of the car, along with me, as I nobly tried to put one foot in front of the other to scamper through the parking lot to the office. 8:05 After another delay, caused by trying to talk my way out of detention, I finally reached the first period. (With a yellow unexcused slip and a notice of detention for the next Monday.) What a way to start a Friday!! 11:36 With the gnawing pain of hunger in my stomach, I stealthily raced to my waiting car for a quick trip to McDonald's for lunch. Just as I placed my hand on the door I felt the presence of a not-so-friendly being. Let me see your Senior I.D.! demanded Mrs. Parker. I knew at that moment I was a dead duck — I had left my pass at home. 11:45 Forced to spend the remainder of my lunch on campus, I dragged myself to the cafeteria. Here several hundred ol the most anxious students I've ever seen waited in line for today's mystery meat. 12:20 With over half of the day now behind me, I popped a Rolaid into my mouth to settle my acid indigestion and headed for Accounting, crippling a Freshman on the way.

Take Me Dancing Tonight 12:35 Definitely unprepared, I failed a pop quiz and determined my class average to be about 69%. 2:16 My last class of the day and I was almost late, but I zipped in just as the teacher was about to close the door. Totally exhausted from the strenuous mental and physical activity of the day, and since this was study hall, I de- cided to catch a few winks. 3:00 The bell finally rang its melodious note — A real joy to my ears! Off to the car I rushed to find my battery dead. 3:15 After a jump from a friend, I drove home and wondered how I could possibly top this day in the weeks to come. 3:30 About to sit back in my easy chair with a tall glass of ice cold tea, the phone rang. It's for me — I've been called in to work. (I have to ask myself how much longer I can go on like this.) 5:30 Busy finishing up my job for the day, 1 received another phone call. . . It's Him!! He wants to take me out tonight; I can't believe it. Maybe things are looking up after all. 6:00 I rush home and plan” an outfit for my evening on the town. 7:00 After 30 minutes of calming myself down, the doorbell rings and the butterflies start up again! 7:45 We eat dinner and nothing out of the ordinary happens. Knock on wood! 8:00 He asks me what I feel like doing? My response: Take me dancing tonight... Opening 3 Clockwise: Kay Hudson leads the Juniors forming a music train during lunch; Pom-pom girls do their routine during a pep-rally; Natalie Kinsey, Joe Courtney, and Kendra Hudson enjoy listen- ing to music during lunch. 4 Opening ‘Tftccaicf MAKES IT WORK For the most part, a student's life at TCHS involves music. Whether it is pop, rock, country, or even classical, music makes everything work. The band plays a major role in keeping the spirit alive. This oc- curs not only during halftime at a football game, but also during pep-rallies. Yet perhaps the most spirit- filled activity occurs on Fridays when the band members and a jam-box join forces with the upper and lower classes and rock out in the halls. As for the Seniors, they enjoy listening to their favorite sounds in the parking lot. As lunch is winding down. Seniors pull out their speakers and crank up the sounds. This gives them their last minute shot of energy before the dreaded bell rings and once again classes begin. Still, on a more mellow note, the chorus lends a bit of class to the scene. The chorus fills the halls with their melodious voices singing classical music or the beloved Alma Mater. Left: Victor Holmes jams with the box; Above: Andy DeGuire plays to an empty hall. Opening 5 SUcdetit 8 Student l ife Student Life 9 An Annual Get Together August 26 came and once again students and staff, either reluctantly or willingly, arrived at Taylor County High School. For the Seniors it seemed school had started the previous Friday when they came for Senior pictures. It was the first time this group had met as a whole since the previous school year, so they had a lot to talk over — being a Ruling Senior, who was together and who had broken up, and, of course, making sure everyone's hair looked alright for pictures. Then Blue Monday came too soon for the underclassmen . . . but once they arrived at good 'ole TCHS the spirit of Taylor pride rejuvenated everyone. To the Freshmen, walking down the front hall was like entering a strange new world. The scary thoughts of where to stand, who to talk to, and what would happen in the next few moments raced through their minds. Soon everything set- tled down, even though tradition abounded and some Freshmen found themselves on top of lockers. As far as the Sophomores and Juniors were concerned, school was nothing new — just the same old routine. However, they did encounter new faces, new rules, and different classes. That first day was a typical annual get John Fuller lakes his Freshman initiation with a smile; Jay Mathis, Todd Gregory, Eric Medeiros, Mac McMullen, Duran Skinner, Shawn Sadler, and Johnny Carter are very attentive during Freshman Assembly. together, filled with apprehension, joyful re- unions, dreaded new classes, and most of all, friendly faces and welcoming smiles. 10 Student Life Clockwise: Heath Annin — He's got legs; Kal Hendry, Bob Donnelly, and Joe Courtney take advantage of Senior Study Hall; We made it through the fire! The year's first fire drill was a success (except someone forgot the Pub!). Student Life 11 TCHS students spend their weekends pursuing love, money and adventure. the weekend comes, TCHS students relax and try to forget the grueling seven period day. They participate in a number of weekend activities such as partying, hunting, going to the movie, motorcycle riding, and cruising the town. Some students have to work; however, they still have a little spare time which is well spent doing one of those exciting weekend activities. When students want to really have a good time, they go to Tallahassee or just head to the beach for a party. Senior Sheldon Sands summed it up by saying, When you've been cooped up all week, the weekend's the time to let it all out, son! 12 Student Life Clockwise: Jeff Merschman psyches up to jump a couple of cars; Joe Courtney and Bob Donnelly work on the Bangour Mobile ; Kit Buzbee asks, Would you like some fries to go with that? ; Heath An- nin and Jeff Merschman take aim on some game. Student Life 13 This Page — Heath Annin, Ronald Williams, Dean Mixon and Greg Yar- brough catch Lori Gunter unaware as they try to stuff her in the trash can; Dropping her books in the front hall is not Robin Lilliott's idea of fun; Oh no! exclaims LeAnn Gamble as she drops the customer's food out the window; Everyone can tell where Jamie Wilder has been by looking at her shoe; Brenda Kruis unknowingly models a very embarrassing sign in the front hall. J. don't ny ' pm PITdj Things Can Only Get BETTER! Have you ever had a day when everything goes wrong? You're either the victim of some practical joke, or you just can't get your act together. Here's some reassuring news: You're most definitely not alone. When you stop and think about it, rotten days always seem to be popping up. In fact many of us so much experience with these love- ly days, that we can tell one the minute we get out of bed in the morning. How many times have you answered the phone at some ridiculous hour in the morning, only to find that it's the cursed alarm clock? Or what about all those mornings when the alrm clock doesn't get its message through and you're very late (it always happens on Mondays!)? Many people wonder if there is any hope for these kinds of days. The answer depends upon the individual. Embarassments, accidents, and even deliberate antagonism toward yourself, can be made better or worse accor- ding to the way the situation is handled. The best advice anyone can take when things are going wrong, is never to lose control, never make a big deal out of something (even if it is), and always to tell yourself that things can only get better! Leah Clark is caught napping after a hard day's night. Student Life 15 Clockwise: A group of students elude faculty members behind the Pub while they take a puff; Joe Courtney enjoys that last bite before the end of lunch; Angela Holden, however, is anxious to return to class; Seniors enjoy play- ing Frisbee at lunch. 16 Student Life No... Smoking in the Boy's Room Under the new administration of Dr. Britt Poulson and Mr. Dennis Fike, many new rules were formed. Among these were no smoking. Even the previously approved smoking area was cut out. If people are over 18 and can buy cigarettes they should be allowed to smoke on campus, stated Amy Kallschmidt. On the other hand, Andrea McMullen said it was a great improvement not hav- ing a smoking area. Another rule enforced this year was no public displays of affection, except for holding hands. Still another new rule was only seniors would be allowed in the parking lot during lunch. While tak- ing advantage of this privilege, they spent their time playing Frisbee. TCHS students and staff ac- cepted the new rules, although sometimes with reluctance, and gradually adapted to them. Underclassmen enjoy lunch: Michael Schmidt, Marty Nowlin, Jamie Cooper, and Lisa Jackson. Student Life 17 FM 86 It was at Taylor County High that the foundation of a continuing education was built. Although the real purpose of school was to learn, time spent at school was filled with laughter, friendships, and fun. It was here that good times and lasting memories made history. Teachers, Private Dancer, and We Don't Need No Education were chosen to show the wide varieties of attitudes toward school displayed throughout the year. emic Academics 19 DIGITAL □I5PLRV Computers invade TCHS campus During the school year even the most unlikely peo- ple were throwing around terms like software, ’'subroute ' byte ' and run. From Mrs. Donna Ansell in the front office to Ms. Nan Albritton's remedial classes, it seemed as though everyone was entering the Computer Age. I'm scared to death of them, but it was the only way 1 could set copy for the Orange Blueprint, said Mrs. Marge Woodell, newspaper adviser. I'm very impressed with how far our students have come with the computer. Both the Orange Blueprint and Sampler staffs use IBM personal computers to set type for their publications. Ms. Albritton's remedial classes benefited from their new computers this year. In addition to simplifying the mundane tasks of drilling and reinforcing, the students also did their work and had it printed out with the typewriter connected to their computer. Ms. Albritton commented: The computer makes note taking much easier. Her computer programs include practice sessions or improv- ing SAT and ACT scores, students also used the computer frequently. Mrs. Billye Parker's computer students have been busy this year also. They learned BASIC computer language and mastered fundamental programming skills. We try in our Programming classes in the Com- puter Lab to develop in each student the ability to write programs in tne BASIC computer language, Mrs. Parker said. We realize that the majority of com- puter students will not choose programming as a voca- tion, but knowledge and skill in this area will be beneficial in many aspects of their adult lives. The Computer Lab has 16 TRS-80 comptuers on a network with one host. Mr. Gilbert Barr also teaches Computer Literacy. Jeff Frostick takes a break from his TRS-80 in the Computer Lab. Kerri Bowden and Meredith Seay finish their homework on the library computer. Mrs. Sunny Hughes' 20 Academics Carla Potter practices test-taking skills on the computer while Linda Knitter looks on.

The hours, the credits, and the work! This year's Seniors had a taste of ex- actly what college is like. They had an advantage that no other class of Seniors has ever had before. They were offered a total of 18 hours credit towards college. The classes included Freshman English, Western Civilization, World Geography, and Mar- riage and the Family. They took notes, wrote papers, and studied for exams. It was a heavy load to carry because they had to stay on top of their high school classes too. Though not all Seniors took the chance to get ahead, those who did found the hard work and ef- fort quite rewarding. Also, the money saved through dual-enrollment was a considerable amount. Because of experience and knowledge the college-bound students of 1986 are Ready For The World! Right: Everyone prepares for the lecture of the day.

Academics 25 26 Academics And the Beat Goes On... By Kendra Hudson Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation, better known as CPR, is something everyone should know how to perform. Students taking Life Management Skills are all taught the proper pro- cedure for performing CPR. This year each stu- dent was graded on his or her ability to revive a “dummy by using the correct CPR guidelines: 1) Check responsiveness, 2) call for help, 3) check pulse, 4) give four quick breaths, 5) check pulse, 6) give an additional two breaths, 7) then give 15 chest compressions, 8) check pulse once again. This procedure is repeated until the per- son is revived. At first, the students were hesitant about doing this procedure. But soon they decided it was something they really should know how to do. For no one really ever knows when an unex- pected accident may occur. By having this knowledge, students may actually save a life some day. CPR allows the beat to go on, and that beat brings fulfillment and joy to hundreds of lives. Daryl August gives fifteen chest compressions to Annie ; P.E. students work diligently on baby; Michael Porter prepares to give the dummy four quick breaths. Academics 27 1985-36 §emors benueatt). I.

School didn't mean all work and no play. Clubs invited the opportunity to become in- volved while fostering teamwork. Kool and the Gang, Toar, St. Elmo's Eire, and 7 Wishes were chosen to represent the spirit of unity and cooperation that characterize the school's extracurricul activities.

Prom major event for Juniors The Junior-Senior Prom is a major part of the Junior's year. The Juniors sell magazines to raise money for the annual Prom. Those Juniors who sell twelve subscriptions are con- sidered the Century Club. This year the Century Club raised about $10,000 in magazine sales. This was about $2,000 more than last year's club raised. The Century Club is in charge of all the decorations for the special night. They start on Sunday afternoon before the Prom and 32 Century Club work all week from about 3:30 to 10:00. The parents of these students play a major part in this event also. Parents are always at the hall each night working just as hard as the Juniors themselves. This year's theme was A Masquerade Ball. Ms. Nan Albritton and Mrs. Debbie Powers are the Century Club sponsors and are also at the hall every night. Ms. Albritton says she feels this year's Juniors are willing to work to make this the best Prom ever. This year the Prom was May 16. The 16th day of May was fun-filled and full of excitement. Many couples started the even- ing off with a lovely dinner. Then they returned to their homes to change into their tuxes and long formal gowns. After this the next stop was of course the one and only Forest Capital Hall where there was dancing and music all night. After the Prom many attended the breakfast prepared by the Seniors' parents. Student leaders set the pace Student Council supported the Bulldogs during football season by sponsoring dances after each home game. This year a new excitement was added when professional disc-jockeys came and dee-jayed several of the dances. To most students this was an interesting change. “The dances last year were good but the guest D.J.'s were really bad! said Clay Crews. Also a Christmas and Valentine dance were organized and sponsored by Student Council. On Halloween, a carnival was held at McDonald's, although Hurricane Juan forced an early end to the carnival. Homecoming week was a direct result of the hard work of Student Council and their spon- sor Mrs. Linda Faircloth. The various days were decided upon by student votes and the parade was set up by them, also. Joe Morgan commented, “This ear s parade was good and I ope they keep getting better! Carol Wiles, wno participated in the parade, said Everything went really smooth because of the good planning. Officers for this year were President Dareen Starks, Vice- President Beth Davis, Secretary Robin Lilliott, Treasurer Wilma Jackson, and Representative-at- Large Mandy Hendry.

The Little Women Club is a service organization, but it also provides an entertaining event each year during initiation. Dur- ing this year's initiation, the new girls attended school in a tee- shirt over a bathing suit over long johns. Instead of normal shoes, they wore one flipper and one slipper. The Little Women provided service at the Gladys Morse Heart Jump-Rope-A-Thon. On Valentine's Day they took cards and sang to the residents at the Perry Health Facility. Membership in this 11th and 12th grade girls' club is limited to those with B or better averages. Officers are President Amy McMullen, Vice President Kay Hudson, Secretary Andrea McMullen, and Treasurer Denise Lewis. Mrs. Anne Morgan is the sponsor. Little Women to earn money for convention Key Club serves school, community The Key Club is an asset to the community in many ways. This year members rang bells and gathered money for the Salva- tion Army. They also attend Kiwanis meetings each Wednesday. Each year members attend a convention. This year, the con- vention was in Orlando at DisneyWorld. To raise money for this and as part of new members' initiation, a wood cut- ting was held. After all the wood was chopped, it was sold to the general public. Officers of Key Club for this year were President Heath An- nin, Vice-President Bob Donnel- ly, Secretary Stacey Sturdivant, and Treasurer Deano Mixon.

Band Reamsnyder strikes up band Under new direction, band has discipline, fun The Pride of Taylor County started off the year with a new band director, Richard Reamsnyder. Mr. Reamsnyder is an experienced director and he brought discipline along with some fun to Taylor County this year. The Marching Bulldogs attended various contests this year. They went to Moultrie, Ga. to compete with other bands from surrounding areas and were ranked Excellent once again. The band members worked hard for their competi- tions and their hard work paid off. The band was very active in student activities. This year under the leadership of Drum Majorette, Terrie Durham, the band participated in pep-rallies, home and away games. At each game the in- strumental members along with the pom-pom girls, flag girls and majorettes added a touch of class to the field. Mr. Reamsnyder's efforts, combined with band members' work, made 85-86 a year to remember. The beat goes on.

Melissa McCranie was chosen head majorette this year. Her faithful partner was Tammy Lawrence. Their new uniforms added a touch of class to the field, and all this was made possible by their sponsor, Mrs. Wight. Organizations 35 Flag corps adds class and humor to the scene The Flag corps may not perform by themselves but they are an integral part of the Marching Bulldogs' visual effect. Along with the normal performances at each game, this year they acted as an honor guard for the Honor Court. Each member of the flag corps also showed her spirit during Homecoming by performing a humorous skit during the pep-rally. This and other activities were directed by captain Barbra Love and sponsor Ms. Vicki Rentz. Sandra Miller is going to take a bow. Barbara Love carefully twirls her flag.

In Tallahassee, however, they competed not only together with the band, but also by themselves. They worked hard on their new shows and it all seemed to pay off when the Superior rating was awarded. As a band student put it, They really wake me up as they go-go. Wilma Jackson, a pom-pom squad member, said, It's a lot of hard work, but it's very rewarding at the end.

They held concession stands at Forest Festival and at each home basketball game. Even though they have to raise money for their organization, thev have time to work out of economics books. These books teach them skills that they use at their jobs. Some people leave after second period for their jobs while others leave after fourth.

NHS and Brain Brawl — a working duo Service organizations consist of motivated members who donate a portion of their time and ef- forts to helping those in need. This year's National Honor Society definitely fits into this category. Beginning with a car wash to raise money in early September, the NHS raised over $100. More money was raised at a bake sale held during the Forest Festival in November. In December, NHS used some of its resources to provide Christmas gifts for every member of the Nursing Home. January was a month of regrouping and planning for a fund-raiser that is becoming a tradition of NHS. The final project of NHS, directed by sponsor Evelyn Daniel and Presi- dent Bob Donnelly, was helping in the Skate-A-Thon for Muscular Dystrophy. In order to become a member of NHS, students must have and maintain a 3.5 GPA and maintain at- tendance in functions. Also, six honor society members along with six other students made up the two teams of Brain Brawl. Mrs. Daniel stated, I feel that the teams did really well this year particularly the school team because they have practiced more. Organizations 39 Extra! Extra! Read all about it... The Orange Blueprint was improved substantial- ly this year. One of the changes was the addition of a typevision computer to simplify layout pro- cedures as well as copy placement. This was also the first year the Orange Blueprint was offered to every high school student free of charge. Editor May McMullen said, “The new computer and the increased circulation has allowed us to upgrade the paper. Along with Mrs. Woodell, newspaper students have worked diligently to incorporate the new ideas while keeping the paper up to standard. The hard work paid off for this year. The Orange Blueprint was honored with a Medalist ranking and 3 All Col- umbia awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. As in the past. Journalism I students trained to actually work on the paper the following year. This is the last year Mrs. Woodell will be in charge of the paper because she is retiring.

They also learn how to read music and gain a sense of stage presence. Even though the Chorus performs all year long, Christmas is the biggest, busiest time of all. Besides performing during the day for all the other schools, they also gave several evening concerts for the general public. Mrs. McGlocklin helps Joe Courtney and Stpehanie McDonald.

Bet- ty Hughes is the sponsor of FHA and the Home Economics teacher. All members attend district meetings, but the highlight of the year is the state convention. Members who attend these are chosen according to points earned during the year. During the year all activities are recorded and turned in to help make Honor Roll at convention. 44 Organizations Art Club provides two scholarships Art Club has been very active this year. They raised money to help a lucky Art Student who wanted to carry on their art career. They surpassed their goal and were able to provide two scholarships. In order to receive one of these scholarships, a stu- dent would need to have three years of art with high grades. He or she should also be planning a further education in the art career field. To raise money for the scholarships and other ac- tivities such as trips to the museums in Tallahassee, the art club does various things. They sold cookie tins, candy rolls, and Christmas items. Also a booth was set up at the Florida Forest Festival in which art students worked.

Organizations 45 The Pressure is ON for yearbook staff Get to Work! commands Mrs. Yarbrough. From the beginning of the year, the pressure is on con- stantly. There are pictures to take, ads to sell and deadlines to meet. Each yearbook member is assigned a section to work on at the beginning of the year. According to his or her interest, a student works on either a class, faculty, organization, or stu- dent life section. This year the sponsor, Mrs. Yarbrough, along with her co-editors, Kendra Hudson and Natalie Kinsey, decided on a yearbook theme that centered around music. Yearbook members felt that such a theme would draw the interest of more students since it was something they could relate to. Many classroom hours and a few nights' work allowed the yearbook staff to complete yet another yearbook. Barbara Bowman asks Sports Editor Ronald Williams it that's ok; Mrs. Martha Yarbrough shows yearbook students how to write receipts for ads; Andrea McMullen takes a break; Heath Annin helps Lisa Hardin. 46 Yearbook Natalie Kinsey edits a page.

Yearbook 47 xvc 707e1 FM 86 The students who filled the halls, the classrooms, and the stadium were the strength behind the school. They overcame obstacles and weathered every storm. They were the ones who shared many laughs and created a thousand memories. Among those whose high school years came to an end in 1986, tears were shed, stories were shared, and hugs were given. Pat Benatar, Ratt, Bryan Adams, and Prince were selected because of the wide diversity of musical tastes of the people who make up the student body.

THERE'S A LITTLE KID IN ALL OF US The Senior class officers were asked to bring things important to them for their picture. Even though they're Seniors, what they brought shows there's still a little kid in all of them. The following Seniors stated why they chose the objects above: President Kendra Hudson — I brought Garfield because he was given to me by a special friend. The Bulldog and shakers were for spirit. Vice-President Amy McMullen — I brought a special stuffed animal (cat) and magazines that reflect my high school years. Secretary Denise Lewis — I brought stuffed animals that were of sentimental value and the Bulldog shirt for spirit. Last, I brought my cheerleading trophies because they remind me of my high school accomplishments. Treasurer Lori Gunter — I brought stuffed animals for sentimental value and my Bulldog for spirit. 50 Tina All Robert Allen Heath Annin Lisa Arrowood Bill Barger Sam Baumgardner James Beaty Gerald Bell Gail Bethea Seniors 51 Angela Blackwood Angie Blair Melissa Blanton Jim Blume Brian Braddock Veronica Bradley Sonya Bratcher Robert Britt Deborah Brown Jonathan Brown Kathy Browning Charles Buchanan 52 Seniors Cliff Burford Brad Cade Michael Calhoun Dana Cannon Jessie Cannon Kim Carlton Leah Clark Vonda Coker Phebe Collins Billy Comstock Angela Cook Joe Courtney Seniors 53 As a child, one always dreams of being a Senior in high school. And as the years pass, these dreams become a reality. However, these times are not all fun and games. Instead, it is a time of decisions, worry, and even fear of what's ahead — it's the end of the beginning. Some plan to stay home in Perry, others plan to go far away. So, this is when Seniors disperse into their own dream world, doing what they do best. Some Seniors were asked about what they hope to The End of the Beginning accomplish after high school: Robin Lilliott: I plan to go to Atlanta or Tam- pa for college and for airline school. I later hope to work for a ma- jor airline. Eddie Williams: If offered a scholarship, I plan to play football at a college. But if I don't get one. I'll join the Armed Forces. Heath Annin: I first plan to attend college and acquire a degree in Engineering. After- wards, I would like to return to Perry and work at Buckeye.

After twelve years of strug- gling, working hard, and learning, the class of '86 finally made it to the top. Those that really stuck out of the crowd were those who won awards for their accomplishments. Included among this group were Beth Fraser for the DAR Award, and Bob Donnelly, Andrea McMullen, Robert Allen, Darren Starks, Babbs Radcliff, and Kim Carlton for the PRIDE Awards, Other academic honors and scholarship awards were announced on Honor's Night, May 29.

Weighing in at 235 lbs., this huge yet humble Senior has many ac- complishments to be proud of. As a oungster and native of New Jersey, teven was hit on and shoved around very often, so he vowed that never again would he be used as a unching bag. In the 7th grade teven began a weight training pro- gram of his own and gradually he was able to lift more weights and endure more pain. Steven Mackey shows off his muscles. This powerhouse can benchpress 390 lbs., squat 450 lbs., and power clean 275 lbs. Just last year Steven set a school weightlifting record lifting 315 lbs. In baseball Mackey pitched the district game shut-out against Madison and in footall he has shined the entire season. This hard playing helped Steven to make the 2nd string Big Bend Football team. From being the bullied to be- ing the bully is a tremendous feat for Steven Mackey. Fellow Seniors and other associates can honestly say will-power and determination dominated his inner voice that wanted to quit, producing the big power-house that he is today.

This year's Seniors were Bahama bound. But unlike other classes, these Seniors were able to go to both Freeport and Nassau. However, the trip was shorter than in years past. Instead of staying the usual five days, they only stayed four days. But this wasn't so bad, because they were back in time to celebrate Easter with their families. The total cost of the trip was $457. To raise money, the Seniors had a raffle for a dog box and sold donuts, fish fry tickets, and mums. They also worked at the carnival and sponsored the Radio Day for merchants. In addition, they had a yard-a- thon, yard sales, and a raffle for a Winn-Dixie gift certificate. For those who didn't raise the total amount needed, they had to pay the difference from their own pockets. But, whether they had to pay some money or not, each Senior who went on the trip had a great Baha- mian time. Mr. McGlocklin lends a helping hand at the last football game. 60 Lynn Melton Julie Merschman Shannon Millinor Deano Mixon Steven Montgomery John Moyse Sheila Noles Rhonda Oliver Vonda Oliver Greg Palmer Rita Palmer Claire Parker Seniors 61 Amy Perry Thomas Purvis Babbs Radcliff Kevin Ratliff Robby Ricketson Debra Roberts Frank Russell Gene Russell 62 Seniors Sheldon Sands Treca Sayers Donald Schaak Gilbert Shaw Don Sheffield Roxanne Sheffield Taylor Profile DARREN STARKS Home: Perry, Florida Age: 17 Hobby: Writing, computer pro- gramming, listening to radio, dancing, and girl-chasing Latest Accomplishment: I got a brand-new, high-tech, 1986, charcoal-gray Camaro.

Seniors 63 Darrin Simmons Cathy Singletary Brett Slaughter Seniors Enjoy Privileges One thing that every upcoming Senior looks forward to even more than becoming a Senior is the privileges that accompany it. Though these privileges aren't many. Seniors still cherish the few they have. The off-campus lunch, more than anything, is what each Senior has yearned for since Freshman year. Seniors utilize these few minutes of lunch by listening to music, throwing the Frisbee, and of course, eating a tasty meal. Since numerous Seniors don't have to take many required subjects their last year, they take some college courses on a semester basis. By tak- ing these courses, they only have class three days out of the week and the other two days they have a two-hour study hall. A priviledge that has been long awaited, since the old days of Perry Primary, is not taking the CTBS test. While all the underclassmen are diligently trying to com- plete their test, Seniors are anxiously awaiting their turn to be measured for their caps and towns. Privileges for Seniors may have slightly een diminished, but just knowing that there will be some gives each upcoming Senior the spirit to press on.

Listening to music, cruising, talking about girls, and playing around are a major part of a Senior boy's life. Each day provides a happy variety for every guy. Some days they simply feel like taking it easy, while other days, they exert their energy in devious activities. When the weekend comes, boys enjoy spending time with their friends or calling that special girl. Then when Monday arrives, they talk about what they did over the weekend, make plans for the coming weekend, and then the whole cycle starts over again. This is a typical life of a Senior guy. Billy Comstock enjoys a good book; Kal Hendry and Jim Blume move in on Joe Courtney; Bill Barger takes a second look; Steve Drum takes a ride; The heroes of the day — Bob Donnelly and Heath Annin. The sign says it all for Treca Sayers; Helen Daniel gets frustrated working on the computer; Leah Clark — Miss Southern Belle; Melissa Blanton relaxes in her car; Julie Merschman, Robin Lilliott, Claire Parker, Natalie Kinsey, Shelli Green, Andrea Kirkland, Laurel Fraser, Robin McDonald, Denise Lewis, Lori Gunter, Mandy Hendry, Beth Fraser, and Amy McMullen dress up for Pajama Day. 74 Seniors Girls Are More Fun By Monica Granger In the beginning were Senior Men and shortly after came the Senior Women, full of zest and pizazz. Being very careful how they spend their time, these unique women participate in many ac- tivities. More than anything they love to lounge around and spy on the male specimen that lurks and hides around the campus. Their first and most important priority is the grooming and the upkeep of their physical appearance. This includes the hair down to the toenails. On the weekend, after all homework is completed these women may go cruis- ing, shopping, or even to a movie. When these Sr. Women aren't out enjoying life, they like to have a period of silence to think, meditate, and concentrate on the big journey that lies ahead of them. Kathy Browning and Sonja Bratcher work hard; Michelle Dixon is amazed; Kendra Hudson listens intently; Amy Perry enjoys giving blood; Andrea McMullen isn't camera shy. There's a Little Girl in All of Us This year the Junior Class officers were asked to bring to the photo session things that meant a lot to them. Barbara Bowman, treasurer, brought her brother's football and jacket. Monica Granger, vice president, brought her favorite stuffed animal, tennis racket and goggles. She enjoys swimming and playing tennis. Jamie Wilder, president, brought her special animal, a cheerleading megaphone, and the head of her mascot uniform. Kerri Bowden, secretary, brought many tapes because she enjoys listening to music. 76 Juniors Denise Bishop Karen Black Brenda Blair Donna Blair Glenn Blount Polly Blount Angi Bodiford Dena Bodiford Kerri Bowden Nancy Bowden Juniors 77 Jack Adams Brent Anderson Lisa Andrews Belana Arnold Allison August Dennis August Darrell Austin Sue Ellen Bassett Danny Bayes Michael Bayes Brett Baxley Kim Beach Shirley Bell Connie Bellamy Scotty Bennett The Class of 87 Where Barbara Bowman watches intensely at the football game.

They tied with the Freshmen in win- ning most of the orange-blue competitions. They also participated in the skits and other contests.

Guy is very active in sports and has played football from Little League to his junior year in high school. He also greatly enjoys hun- ting, fishing, and skiing. Guy, who was born and raised in Perry, says he really loves driving to school every day and being able to get his class ring. After his senior year he plans to go to col- lege. Guy is a “good ole boy who seems to be liked by just about everyone. Connie L.

About the most impor- tant one is the SSAT. This test is taken during the 10th grade — but remediation and make ups are given during 11th grade. This test must be passed to graduate from high school. Along with all 9th and 10th graders, each junior must also take the CTBS test. This test is used for placement in honors and other classes. The next group of tests are optional. The ACT and SAT are both used for college. Most four year universities re- quire these scores. The PSAT is taken when one applies for scholarships. Along with all these tests the juniors have the tests given in their regular classes! While Charlie Odum and Tracey Smith take their chemistry test Laurie Gaskin looks on. Karen Langford and Wilma Jackson talk, Lisa Hardin takes her test, and Barabra Bowman stares in space.

Juniors 93 Class of 87 becoming Seniors In their last year of being con- sidered underclassmen, the Juniors made this an outstan- ding year. Being in charge of the annual Junior-Senior Prom and receiving class rings added to the excitement of the 85-86 year. The class of 87 worked and played hard, all year with the anticipation of their Senior year in mind. Roslyn Collins rides in the Homecoming parade.

Officers active in extracurriculars The 1985-86 Sophomore class officers were asked to pose for the group picture with items that were very dear to them. Marilyn Bethea wore her basketball uniform because she is an active member of the girls basketball team. Scott Homer held a football helmet which reflects his involvement in the sport during his high school years. Katherine Lundy wore her uniform and has her pom-pon with her because she is a faithful member of the pom- pon squad and spends much time working hard preparing for pep rallies and football games. Feebee Walker brought her Florida State pillow because she is a faithful 'Noles fan. This year Scott Homer served as President of the sophomore class, Marilyn Bethea was Vice President, Katherine Lundy was Secretary, and Feebee Walker was Treasurer. % Sophomores On the job The Class of 88 is not afraid of a little work. After school, many sophomores can be seen speeding to their jobs. From flower shops to car dealerships, sophomores flood the job market getting an early start on their careers. This get-up-and-go attitude is a reflection of the whole sophomore class. Sophomores 97 Mary Ann Floyd sells mums.

The memorial ceremony was a special event for the whole school on Veteran's Day. At each home football game JROTC marched out on the field carrying the flag while the na- tional anthem was being played. They also participated in various parades. The sophomore class made up a large portion of this year's JROTC program, with 22 males and 3 females. Every Thursday JROTC dressed in their id The [ROTC is hoping to get even more sophomores involved next year.

Andrew DeGuire won the Outstanding Sophomore award for the 1985-1986 school year. He was chosen out of twelve nominees by sophomore teachers. His awesome 4.0 grade point average helped him attain this award. Andrew plays the trumpet in the band and is a very active member of the Student Council. He is also an ex- tremely skilled soccer player. Coach George Harper remarked, “Andrew is a strong player as well as a fine young man. Andrew plans to attend college but hasn't yet decided on a major. Outstanding Sophomore, Andy DeGuire.

To these sophomores it was even better because they were chosen by their classmates to represent them on the night of the game. This year there were five girls chosen instead of the usual four. This year's Homecoming Court included Sandra Caddell, Denise Ondash, Terri Ham- mock, Nicole Neeley, and Marilyn Bethea. Sophomore Honor Court and their escorts include Pedro Bishop, Sandra Caddell, Michael Schmid, Denise Ondash, Cline Moore, Terri Hammock, Andy DeGuire, Nicole Neeley, Jeff Merschman, and Marilyn Bethea.

For example, a familiar sight on the football field was Brian Wilson kicking a 43 yard field goal and putting points on the board. Jeff Merschman's speed, strength, and endurance prevented countless goals against the Bulldog soc- cer team. Terrell Griffen's dependability and con- sistency on the offensive line contributed to the winning season of the Bulldogs. In a sport with less action and more skill, Brian Faircloth excelled and became a consistent leader on the Bulldog golf team. Sophomore women can't be intimidated in the world of sports. Brenda Kruis proved this in every soccer game with her aggressive moves on the soc- cer field. Marilyn Bethea also played aggressively and achieved an impressive points per game average. 108 Sophomores Sophomores 109 Writing on the Wall i i i r | 0 1 10th qraidiS 1 haviier +Y an laslh ear. -X-V rtivJ“tK J U xW7 T 1 hk p £!rn«£ . «% 4 1 fA-jOr-l H A V K y vf i fL, 1 ,V 1 c |£j-H fflrr -Aiir' .vfcrt aMv « 1 A ,Hl V £.Nr Y' V, A.?4i i i _ S It Vr - yiT y i i i i i r 110 Sophomores Kelvin Upshaw Dwayne Valentine Toni Viggiano Kelli Vinson Sonja Vinson Peter Wade Feebee Walker George Weatherly Mark Wentworth Will Whiddon Lea Whitehead Carol Wiles Kevin Wilkinson Tony Williams Brian Wilson Kyle Wright Wendy Yates Steven Zip Sophomore Secretaries In Fundamental Business Occupational Skills 1, students learned the basics of secretarial and clerical techniques. Typing was the skill most emphasized. Students began with simple keyboard memorization exercises. Next they practiced on increasing their speed and accuracy, and finally, mastered the fine points of business letters and research papers. Accounting and mathematical techniques were also covered during the year. Even if these students don't become secretaries or accountants, they can use their skills typing their children's term papers. Leslie Heydt and Cheryl Lewis practice typing. Sophomores 111 Kicking back... And talking up By Robert Donnelly (1 wonder if she likes me. She always smiles at me but she might be teasing. I'll just go turn on the Vicious Victor.) Hey Wilma, don't you look good in that uniform, Victor says slyly. Aaaw Victor, that's just talk! Wilma challenges. No, I mean it. Listen, why don't we go out this weekend? Victor courageously questions. You're really asking me out? I can't believe it! Wilma exclaims. Really, I'd like to see you this weekend, Victor smoothly says. Well, I guess so. says Wilma. (I knew she couldn't wait for me to ask her. Just call me Victorious Victor.) Victor Holmes is waiting to make his move. 112 Sophomores Victor Holmes and Wilma Jackson talk it over.

The lunchroom, of course, is where most people go to eat as well as socialize. Another favorite lunchtime place for freshmen is the library; however, a few like to use this place to socialize also. The halls are another popular hangout and a group of this year's freshman guys used the area between the teachers' parking lot and B-wing to play football. Though freshmen, along with all the other underclassmen, do not have the privilege to leave for lunch, they have succeeded in making their lunchtime as in- teresting as possible. Ellen Johnson, Julie Mangum, and Ephi Karakitsios enjoy their free time at lunch.

Now, though, it has become an everyday thing to visit your locker 2 or 3 times. The lockers many times reflect the owner's personality, or rather in- dividuality. Some lockers are incredibly neat and perfect, while others are cluttered beyond recogni- tion. Posters, mirrors, and pictures are not uncom- mon, but most lockers are just a happy medium — half neat and half messy. Tonia Stewart visits her locker.

Throughout the year numerous activities are of- fered and freshmen are always anxious to par- ticipate. Homecoming, pep rallies, football games, school assemblies, a longer day, and a mandatory study hall have all been accepted by the freshmen as part of their new high school experiences.

Garret Veal mastered this skill and became the only Freshman drummer of the 85-86 school year. Garrett, who enjoys Fishing and hunting on the weekends, has played the drums for a few years and won himself a spot on the Taylor Marching Band. Garret is a native of Perry, but he moved to Jacksonville for two years. After that, he moved back to Perry and has enjoyed his first high school even better.

This year something happened that has never been done before. The freshmen had a study hall. The freshmen were awarded a study hall because of the extra class load they had to take. Most of the freshmen who took the study hall used it to its full potential and studied for their extra classes. Some didn't and instead they used it to talk and socialize. Even though some of the freshmen goofed off, most appreciated the time and said it was a great help. Herbie Patterson and Billy Harrison crack the books during their freshman study hall.

Not ones to let school get them down, freshmen could be seen smiling, laughing, joking, kidding, and just plain old hav- ing a good time. Unlike some upperclassmen, the 9th graders just don't let things get to them. You won't find a freshman going absolutely crazy over a test, or English paper. After all, you're only in high school once! This lit- tle bit of reasoning helps keep the freshmen cool. So the next time you find yourself going bonkers, take it from the freshmen and say no big deal! Clockwise: Patrick Fudge wears an I don't care expression ; Stevie Stephens has a great big smile; Mac McMullen, Michael Porter, Wade Goodman, and Todd Flores spend time together at lunch. Freshmen 125 Freshmen are into Everything!! This year's freshmen showed their Bulldog spirit by participating in various activities around the school. The freshmen were a dominant force at the pep rallies and there was always a large group of them at the football games. The freshmen were also into fashion and design and they showed this by the different colors and patterns they wore each day. The freshmen of 85-86 were into everything and everything they did, they did it well! Clockwise: Shelby Ferguson and Gilda Alexander enjoy their ride in the Homecoming parade; William Allen looks like he's really studying; Vettie Collier gets his books for the next class. 126 Freshmen Clockwise: Freshmen decorate for Homecoming; Donald Porter asks Mr. Webb if he can leave class; A typical day in the Freshman study hall; Cindy Fox adds the finishing touches. Freshmen 127 cV v S FRESHMEN FIND HIGH SCHOOL EXCITING High School — it's the magic word held in awe when you're in elemen- tary school, held with anticipation when you're in junior high, and taken for granted once you're a part of it. Now that this year's freshmen are members of the TCHS student body, they have found that it is both different and yet very near to what they have always expected. Things most newcomers appreciate are having more lunch freedoms, extracurricular ac- tivities, and being treated more or less as adults. Though there are a few things which restrict the freshmen in general, such as being regarded as the lower classmen by older students, the class of '89 has shaken the stigma of being just freshmen and have become a part of the everyday life at the high school. After all, this year's Freshmen will some day be the big Seniors, and the more excitement and enjoyment that they find here, the more the school will have to offer the classes to follow. Clockwise: Freshman boys play football during lunch; Ann Davis rides in the Homecoming parade as an honor court member; Janet Bach and Navneet Rahi stop to talk between classes. 128 Freshmen Clockwise: Stacey Booty Walker takes time out for some serious thinking; Becky Seay and Ann Davis spend their lunchtime together; Sam Stockton gracefully falls out of his chair.

Brown Debbie Carlton Wanda Cash William J. Chesser Renee M. Clark Whitney Coit New Administration Takes Over It keeps me young, commented Dr. Britt Poulson in his introductory address to the faculty in August. Dr. Poulson was referring to being back at a high school, as opposed to the administrative duties he performed for the Department of Education prior to his appointment here. Another new face among the leadership this year is Dennis Fike, the assistant principal for ad- ministration, although Mr. Fike is not new to many faculty members. He was the principal here for over two years until he resigned in 1981. While Mrs. Julie Annin has served as assistant principal for curriculum for four years, she did get a new office this year. Mrs. Annin, her computer, voluminous files, and the invaluable Lee McHargue moved to a newly-created office space adjacent to the library. Dr. Poulson Mr. Fike B.P. The beginning of progress It wasn't long after the school year began that faculty and staff realized that Dr. Britt Poulson was serious about beginning his tenure with energy and enthusiasm. Teachers first learned they would be required to serve duties during some of their lunch time, in addition to the traditional detention and bus duties. During the newly initiated Friday activity period, teachers were responsible for making sure their students attended the assigned activity in addition to advising them on graduation requirements. With detention revived in 1985-1986, teachers took turns keeping order among the detainees” from 3:10 until 4 p.m. in the cafeteria. Although some teachers may not have thought Dr. Poulson was serious about some of his innovations as well as his insistence on promptness, they only needed to find his B.P. next to their name once or twice before they realized the new principal was here to stay.

The Fall of the Desk of Sewell By Lisa Hardin Beneath the clutter of papers, books, and various unidentified objects, it is rumored that Mrs. Sewell's desk once stood. It was a proud, strong desk, built to last for years of work, abuse, or even vandalism from teachers and students. It was practically in- destructible. Then it was delivered to the high school library and was deposited in the small but pleasant office of Mrs. Sewell. Three weeks later neither hide nor hair of it could be found. In the place it shone proud was a mountain of paperwork, overdue books, damaged books, new books, old lunches, cof- fee cups, a buried telephone, and things very few people could identify. Just what happened to tnat ''indestructible' desk? Some rumors suggest that it collapsed from the weight of the miscellaneous items on top of it. Others suggest it died of lack of air and light. The more fanatic rumors tell the story of a crazed desk running from the office, having lost its sanity to severe claustrophobia. Whatever happened to that poor, unfor- tunate desk could not have been too pretty. If the pile of stuff that stands where the desk us- ed to is ever sorted out, the person doing the cleaning had better have a strong stomach, and a great deal of courage.

Mrs. Woodell Retires This school year will mark the end of one experience and the beginning of another for Marjorie Woodell. Mrs. Woodell, who has been teaching journalism and English at this school for a total of over thirteen years, will retire at the end of this year. Mrs. Woodell has been teaching since 1946. She attended Montevallo University in Alabama, where she earned a three year bachelor's degree in English Education, and an AB four year degree. The thirty-six year veteran of the classroom is currently the sponsor of the Orange Blueprint and Quill and Scroll, and has finally decided to take a break. When asked if she would enjoy retirement, Mrs. Woodell answered with a resounding yes! In place of her school-related activities, she plans to sew, travel, read, and play with her grandchildren. Mrs. Woodell has been a valuable asset to this school and will be well-remembered for years to come. Marjorie Woodell 134 Faculty Teachers help out All through this year, the staff at this school has been involved in many school activities. From pep rallies to sports to the Homecoming Parade, the educated minds of our teachers think of new ways to get involved and have fun.

Faculty 135 The story of a Bulldog sports event could be told by the expres- sions of faces — assurance on the face of the coach, pride in the smiles of the parents, enthusiasm in the gestures of the crowd, and eagerness in the eyes of the athletes. Centerfield, Vision Quest, Tears For Fears, and Reckless, some of the most popular recordings in 1985-86, symbolize the un- daunted energy of Bulldog sports. SO CLOSE ... BUT SO FAR Almost, but no cigar was said by people associated with the 1985 Varsity Football Team. The year started out with a BANG! The 'Dawgs gained a number one ranking in the state poll. Their ranking tumbled after a bitter loss to the powerful Godby team. Though they were no longer number one, their team spirit was not broken. The Bulldogs still had their eyes hooked on the State Championship title. The team went back to the basic concept of hard work and long hours. However, 1985 was not the year for Taylor County to win the District Title. Coach Johnson is shown using his authority. Brant Gid- dens watches the game tentatively. 138 Football Taylor County lines up against Rickards; Brian Wilson kicks a Held goal; Terry Rhines returns a kickoff; Quarterback Ron Williams looks for daylight. Football 139 The Name of the Game Was ... DEFENSE The Bulldogs' strong 8-3 season was mainly due to the powerful defensive squad. They held 7 teams to less than 100 yards rushing, 5 teams to less than 150 yards passing, and recorded 5 shutouts. Defensive Coach Paul Dyal stated, We knew the defense was going to be our strong point, however, the secondary was young but they did a great job. Overall the 8-3 season was excellent considering the number of key injuries. Coach Dyal agreed by saying, Without the injuries we could have played in the state final. Coach Dyal added, To have a good team you have to be good and lucky; we were good but not lucky. So ended the 1985 football season.

Football 141 NUMBER ONE!? Taylor County ranked number one in the state? Yes, it was true. When the sportswriters released their pre-season poll in August, the name at the top was Taylor County. Johnson's Bulldogs were ranked number one in class 3-AAA. Being number one in the state is a hard title to play up to. However, the Bulldogs proved to be a number one calibre team by winning their first three games by a large margin of points. Then came Godby, ranked number eight at the time with a 3-0 record. The Taylor County Bulldogs were mauled by the hungry Cougars of Godby and were no longer number one. The loss to Godby dropped the 'Dogs to number six. However Taylor didn't give up and won their next few games, moving in on number one again. Ranked number three in late September, Taylor traveled to Quincy for a district game against Shanks, who proved to be tough. The Bulldogs lost a heartbreaker in overtime which handed them their second district loss. The Bulldogs, now ranked number two, proved that they could still win by defeating the Madison Cowboys, upping their district record to 3-2. Their last district game was in November at home against Live Oak. Although the 'Dawgs played one of their best games, they lost in the final quarter by the close score of 28-21. This loss dropped Taylor out of the top ten. However, 1985 will always be remembered as the year that our Taylor County Bulldogs were ranked number one. 142 Football Left to Right: The varsity Bulldogs rush on to the field before the game begins; Coach Dyal converses with the defense.

Homecoming provided excitement, thrills, and even disappointment to make it A Week to Remember Preparations for Homecoming week began very early, especially for the Seniors. They began making and arranging their hall decorations about three weeks prior to time to decorate. Their hard work paid off in a First Place from the judges. The school was full of students and their parents the weekend before Homecoming. They were putting up decora- tions and making sure everything was done to perfection. The week began with Dress to Kill Day on Monday, Class Color Day was Tuesday, when each class showed its spirit by wearing the class colors-Seniors were red. Juniors were yellow. Sophomores were turquoise, and Freshmen were purple. Wednesday was pajama day; Thursday Clone day, and Friday was the traditional orange and blue day. During Homecoming week. Seniors voted on Honor Court and Superdog was chosen. The King and Queen were Joe Courtney and Lori Gunter, while Jamie Wilder from the Junior class was chosen as the 1985 Superdog. Homecoming King Joe Courtney and Queen Lori Gunter salute the flag during the Homecoming game; Majorette Tammy Lawrence shows her spirit; Pam Thompson leads the flag corps; Lisa Andrews participates in the Homecoming Parade; Feebee Walker and Shannon Kallschmidt help with the hall decorations. Homecoming Homecoming Activities Alive Kicking '85 The 1985 Homecoming activities were kicked off Thursday night with the tradi- tional pep-rally and bonfire. This year's Coming Home Queen, selected at the pep- rally, was Marie Agner. Of the 40 entries in Friday's annual Homecoming Parade, the Chorus float won the honor of Best Entry. The football game and the dance ended the 1985 Homecoming. Taylor lost to the Live Oak Bulldogs by a small margin. The game see-sawed back and forth but Live Oak scored in the last few minutes and Taylor came up on the short end of a 28-21 final score. The dance turned out to be one of the best in the past few years with John Summers from Gulf 104, providing explo- sions, lights, and great music.

Many long practices and a lot of hard work contributed to the excellent job the varsity squad did this year. Jamie Wilder, the mascot, was a major part of the squad. She always seemed to get the crowd fired up. Ms. Lilliott was a very important asset to the squad. All the cheerleaders agreed that We couldn't have made it through the year without the love and support of Ms. Lilliott. She stayed after school with the girls for long, late prac- tices and gave them many pointers. Alison Lanier tries to arouse the spirit of the Bulldog fans; 7985-86 Varsity Cheerleaders: Jamie Wilder Mascot, Kathy Ragans Co-Captain, Beth Fraser, Captain, Laurel Fraser, Alison Lanier, Sue Ellen Bassett, Julie Merschman, Barbara Bowman, Tammy Hart. Cheerleaders 145 A PERFECT WAY... To An Undefeated Season The 1985 Taylor County Junior Varsity football team ex- celled to a perfect season. They wound up the year with a 6-0 record. The defense led the way devouring opponents and allowing only two touchdowns the entire season. To go along with this impressive statistic, the defense found a way to average 8 points a game. A standout on this defensive squad was Dwayne Davis who contributed to the team with his leadership abilities. On the offensive side of the ball, the running backs car- ried most of the load. Keith Jackson was at the tailback posi- tion, scoring 90% of their total points. At the quarterback position this year was Frank Gant, who showed great potential as a future varsity quarterback. This year's team was one of the best in recent years. Next year's season is expected to be as good as this year's with over half the team returning.

Football 147 Progress yields confidence 1986 Roundballers display excellence A winning Varsity season does not fully describe the 85-86 basketball season. Although the players concentrated on playing as a team, their individual talent and personalities could not be disguised. For example, Robert Britt's goal-crushing slams and aggressive play always brought the crowd to its feet. His efforts yielded a 10.7 point per game average. Daryl Hightower's consistency in outside shooting from the point guard position led to his awesome 12.5 point per game average, and Kenneth Anderson, with his cool and confident attitude in the center position, led the team with a 14 point per game average. These talented individuals led the team to a successful 1986 season.

However they won 2 in a row and evened their record at 5-5 midseason. Kelvin Upshaw and Frank Gant both averaged 12 points a game and greatly contributed to the J.V. team.

The team was hurt when grades came out and they were forced to cancel the remainder of their games. The players could still hold their heads up and be proud of their undefeated record. From December 9 through January 20 the girls J.V. team beat Florida High (twice), Richards, Aucilla Christan, and Hamilton County. Judy Wilson reaches high for the jump ball; Stacy Oliver weaves through the opponents. Hitting the season off right The members of the 1985-86 girl's softball team put in many long hours of practice.

With an optimistic outlook, practice began and everyone warmed up for the challenge of the first game. Coaching the team was Sebe Ratliff, who was hopeful for a district championship. Last year's team excelled and laid ground for an up and coming 1986 team. Above: Darrin Simmons looks to first for a double play.

Key players this year included Senior goalkeeper Ron Williams, who had 4 shutouts and helped to keep many of the other scores low. Steve Zip, Sophomore forward, started strong scoring five goals, while Kit Buzbee, Junior defensiveman, not only directed the defense but also led the team in scoring along with Zip. Next year's team will be more experienced, with over ten lettermen returning. In order to remain competitive with more skillful teams from Gainsville and Tallahassee, leadership and dedication in perfecting team play will have to emerge, said Head Coach George Harper. 1985-86 Season Rickards W Florida High L Godby L Eastside Florida High L Marianna T Godby L Rickards W Marianna W P.

Coach Annin was referring to Hurricane Kate which caused four of the J.V. soccer games to be cancelled. Even though the J.V. team lost three out of four games, each of these games was extremely close. They tied one game with District foe Godby.

Coach hopeful for track team “The outlook for this year's team is good, said Coach J. B. Wilson. After an impressive '85 season in which they sent several members of their team to the state cham- pionships, they had a very good season this year. Their strong points were in the field and long distance events. Robert Britt, Ken- neth Anderson, and Steven Mackey pulled most of the load for the field events. Bruce Bell, Darrin Buzbee and David Poe were the milers. They were short in the area of sprinters, compared to previous years, but they had upcoming talent, such as Sherman Rhines running the hurdles. 160 Track BLOODWORTH'S Congratulations Seniors — Since 1905 — PERRY AUTO X 101 E.

Seeds are a means to spread life from place to place. Seeds are wealth. They are beauty. They are a symbol — a symbol of beginnings and endings. Seeds are carriers of aid, of friendship, of good will. Above all else, they insure the continuation of life. The Class of 1986 is the promise of tomorrow and the seed of hope for our future. Because of this, the future is bright indeed. This salutation to the 1986 Senior Class is sponsored by Buckeye Cellulose Corporation a Procter Gamble Company. Southeast Bank of Perry, N. A.

Sometimes we were energetic, and we wanted action. Sometimes we were tired, and we chose to rest. Then there were times when we were mean and looked for trouble. Also we were nostalgic, and we sought solitude. Regardless of our moods, we made our fun. Whether we planned it or it was spontaneous, we made the best of it. Often, the unplanned fun was the best of all. Actually, our needs were simple; therefore, just being together meant some of the best good times. Beth Fraser and Kathy Ragans let the good times roll. Kendra Hudson and Natalie Kinsey have a moment of prayer over the problem.

How quickly those infamous and trying times during the freshman year were forgotten. Those timid and subservient ninth graders grew, matured, and developed the ar- rogance and prestige of being the graduating class. It was time to face the ever-changing world. There was no turning back. All roads led to independence, and for some, it was difficult to choose which road on which to embark. Some classmates chose to enroll in college — either local, state, or out-of-state. Some secured full-time employment, while others chose matrimony and starting a family. For those who decided to further their education, decisions were continually made. What classes will I take? What do I want to major in? What college is best? What can I afford? These and other challenges and choices confronted a large number of seniors. Those who preferred to seek full-time employment were confronted with lines like We don't need anybody. We want so- meone with experience. Some seniors were successful in finding a steady full-time job and were usually content in banks, of- fices, stores, and private businesses. Whatever the decisions they had to make, those seniors knew that whatever they chose, it would affect their entire lives. Therefore, the Class of '86 carefully con- sidered their choices and planned their futures. Closing 207 Counting down the Annual Top 4 WTCH has been spinning the hits for all you Bulldog megarockers through the 1985-86 school year.

GOODBYE Jeff Watson Jack Blades Sung by: Night Ranger As the sun hides his head For another night's rest And the wind sings His same old song And you on the edge rer close, never far rays there when I needed a friend Yet it's hard living life On this memory-go-round Always up, always down Spinning 'round and 'round And Nqyc AlWi On the beach, on the 4th of July I remember the sand How you held out your hand And we touched for what seemed a lifetime Now it's hard Leaving all this behind me now Like a schoolboy so lost Never found until now CHORUS F And all this could be Just a dream so it seems I was never much good at goodbye There once was a time Never far from my mind 208 Closing
