Melot, Asst. Superintendant Jim Myers, and the usually be- hind-the-scene school board members are always busy making decisions affecting each student and teacher at Tecumseh High School, with C. Johnson, secretary keep- ing the paperwork running smoothly. Whether approving a 3-day class trip to the Ozarks for Chorus or planning use of the $480,OOO bond issue for the construction and operation of the 13-class school building soon to be erected, these men take into consideration the views and opinions of those concerned and those affected. Board of Education Tecumseh Public Schools W. L. Straughan-Presldent Jesse McCullar-Vice President Lonnie Hurst-Clerk Darrell Coker-Member Jim Pritchard-Member Principal Ron McClure headed the Jr. High staff members and students with the aid of office personnel Cindy Humphrey, while high school office activities were kept flowing by the staff of Counselor Johnel Harrison, Secretary Marie Kochick, taking care of business and registrar, and Sandy Hampton monitoring attendance, typing, and keeping communication moving throughout the school so that students and teachers could stay on their toes with cur- rent scholastic events. NEW KID IN TOWN 16 18 Drama, Fine Arts, and instrumental mu- sic were instructed by D. Benn, P. Miller and D. Price. Beginning and ad- vanced mathematical skills were handled by High School teachers C. Shields, V. Weir, M. Dipple and Junior High teach- ers R. Cropp and V. Raney. Freshmen and eighth grade students were taught general science by J. Cox and A. Whipkey. G. Snider and K. Cooper added to those teach- ings with biology, chemistry and zoology. C. Daughtery taught vocal music to both Junior High and High School students. 19 The courses and activities offered by Junior High teachers S. Dipple and K. Kinsey in the English Department gave students basics in Grammar. These basics were broadened and expanded in those courses offered by H. Spoon, S. McNabb, and R. Price's English l-IV classes. A Gilbride was beneficial to stu- dents as she aided them with her library skills. JO In the Junior High English courses taught by B. Langston and C. Gardner pupils earned English knowledge that was further challenged by B. Kieffer's English III IV class. Students who were interested in foreign language found refuge in K. Wolf's Spanish courses. Junior High stu- dents managed to keep everything together with the constant counseling G. Gower. Physical action and mental coordination were combined to help com- plete the benefits of nealth and teamwork. Whether on the football field with High School Coach Murray or Jr. High Coach Jim Hudson, on the J.H. Wrestling mats with E. Mekush or participating in the Spe- cial Ea. class with P. Keeler, involved stu- dents exerted themselves in a thrill of victory and achievement. 22 Physical education this year was stressed by junior high coach D. Bradshaw, and for the students who chose baseball, M. Robinson. High school wres- tling was coached by K. Praytor, nigh school and junior high basketball were coached by D. Coleman and R. Capps. P. Sternberger led the high school football squad. 23 D. Whittington's Civics and D. Boyd's Geography courses familiar- ized students with world around them. Vocational Agriculture taught by R. Shelby and D. Wells, Indus- trial Arts, taught by D. Wilsie, and Home Economics, taught by C. Mc- Donald, trained people in skills for home and professional employment. R. Humphrey's Driver Education class also interested students con- cerned with better social tolerance. 24 Pupils plunged into vocational skills by enrolling in R. Chlouber and S. Casey's typing and short- hand classes and learned useful business prospects in L. Capps business course. K. Curson offered opportunities for understandings of past events in his American History class as S. Beesley kept students up on social events in Social Stud- ies.

A 7-0 SEASON for the 7th grade, a 4-4 for the 8th grade, and a 5-4 for the 9th rounded off a good year for the Junior High footballers. The Coaches' (Hudson, Williams, and Robin- son) projections that the young players would continue to rally as the season evolved, became a pleasant reality. Front Row: C. Shields, T. Johnson, A.

Pecore A winning season for Savage roundballers marked the first year of leadership from Head Coach Roy Capps and Assistant Coach Charles Shields. The Savages won respect from opponents for their full-court press and quick defence. Victories came from teams such as HoldenviIle. Dale, Bristow, and powerful Wewoka. Savage netters look forward to another year of rebuilding due to the loss of several capable seniors. Coach Capps stated at the close of the 1978 season that he was well-pleased. All in all, Savage Basketball is on the rebound. THE WAY YOU DO THE THINGS YOU DO A-Team: S. Hill, T. Bussey, S. Jeffcoat, L. Kirk, P. Robinson, C. O'Dell kneeling, L. Hu- lin, J. Coffey, R.

After extensive coaching from Head Coach Dyton Coleman and his assistant Kenneth Cooper, the girls piled up victo- ry after victory. Led by Senior forward Laurie Hu I in, the lady netters blazed a trail to the Star Conference Cham- pionship and a Second in district play. 89 91 1977-1978 RECORD TECUMSEH 44 TECUMSEH 42 TECUMSEH 41 TECUMSEH 38 TECUMSEH 38 TECUMSEH 44 TECUMSEH 39 TECUMSEH 46 TECUMSEH 48 TECUMSEH 50 TECUMSEH 45 TECUMSEH 41 TECUMSEH 44 TECUMSEH 48 BETHEL 48 McLOUD 44 LUTHER 35 ST.

The wrestlers had a very im- pressive dual record for the 7-78 season, (15 wins and 5 losses). There were also im- pressive showings from Randy Gilbert and Billy Copeland, placing 2nd and 4th respec- tively in the Western regionals The loss of Srs., Randy Gil- bert, Joe Van Arnam, John Belshe and heavyweight, Bill Nabor, will make next year's wrestlers fight to fill the gap. In view of the previous career of the Savages, it will be hard to top Praytor's Raiders. WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND ME 1st. row (I. to R.) J. Wright, B. Nowlin, M. Ealey, J. Clark, V. Straghan, N.

The squad consists of Teresa Gill, Kel- ly Loveless, Tracey Miller, Beverly Monday, Connie Burton, and Leslie Magdalena . . V' Spirit flags, pep posters, encouraging chants, and just plain Savage pride dis- played by forty-one devoted girls structured the foundation for the Tecumseh High School Pep Club. The pepsters, in turn, constituted the building blocks of spirit and encourage- ment to construct the skyscraper of enthusi- asm for THS athletes. 110 '77 PEP CLUB MEMBERS: (top) L. Smith, S.

This book was designed to help you remember 1977-78 with the songs you made hits this year. 1978 WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR ................FOR MEMORIES. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE A SONG.
