The same word may be used generation after generation with no two generations having the same meaning. Our forefathers who were from England and other European countries used Thee's and Thou's. Today we have adopted a language of slang which changes with the times. For example, if someone said that a guy has toys in his attic , some people would think he really had toys, like a jack-in-the- box, in an attic of a house. The expression merely means that this guy is a little weird or slightly crazy. In 1976, communication by the human voice is more important than ever. The back to nautre mood has hit America and with it is the old- timey way of communi- cating: a friendly hello said with feeling. n x ff Ns ,P , 33 H lf 4 1 rs! 4 sr l i rl rf- 4 W s l 4 1 . i at J f xl f :Cs 7 f X 34 U 2 Q 4 Q-iss: 1 s.

Today school systems teach more than the Three R's . Students still learn reading, writing, and arithmetic, but they also learn a great deal more. The subjects are the same, but the depth of study is much greater. The basic arithmetic has been changed into the New Math . X's and Y's are used in solving problems, In the year 1976, metrics play a big roll in the class- room. For the young who have had the English sys- tem a short period of time, it is easy to grasp and use. For the older hard to be convinced to use meters, liters, and grams. The sciences have also broadened. More com- plex science is taught at an earlier age today. As the world's pace in- creases, students must equip themselves with an abundance of knowledge in order to stay on top. If the school systems didn't teach at the same rate as the progression of civilization, it would be the same as going to school 100 years ago and then trying to get a job in the year 1976. 1 '2-iii 1 l f,?'3.-. gil?

V.,. . ,W ,lj Every year on a brisk October day, the Thomasville Academy Halloween Carni- val is held. The 1975 Carnival proved to be the most successful one yet, With the help and assistance of all the local folks a little flavor was added to an other- wise dull weekend. This year the carnival had an added at- traction. At the coronation ceremony, Paul Revere suddenly appeared.. Two hundred years later he was still yelling his immortal words. Later the crowd was again visited by ghosts from the past. lchabod Crane and the Headless Horse- man were the two characters. Like each year before this one, everyone sadly left the games, rides, and carona- tion of the kings and queens, only to talk of the plans for the 1976 Halloween Carnival.

The jacob's ladder, cake walk, bingo, fish pond, and horror movies were just a few of the attractions that drew much attention. After darkness fell over the merry festivities, everybody was drawn to the football field. There they settled down and listened to some good ole gospel singing.

Athletic Awards Banquet 33 EEA fr., it--' ls:-' J . QW Can you imagine a high school prom with Elvis Presley and Elton john? Well, This year's junior Class did manage this fan- tastic feat. With the aid of costumes, the band Pure and Simple trans- posed everybody back to the rocking and reeling 50's. This was not their only magical feat. In order to bring everybody from the fifties, Pure and Simple introduced Funeral for a Friend starring Elton john. All in all the band, Pure and Simple , made the 1976 prom one of the best ever. Hours of planning and decorating proved to be the real backbone of the prom. The first major step in the preparation for the prom was raising money. To overcome this tem- porary barrier, the juniors sold magazines. It only took two weeks of selling them to raise enough 34 Prom money to pay for the prom. The next major step came when the jun- iors had to decide on the decorations. Decisions were made with much arguing and fighting, but the feuds were soon for- gotten. Probably the most fun came on Friday night when the juniors worked for nearly 11 hours dec- orating. ln these 11 hours, they fought, cried, and laughed together. Early Saturday morning, some of the juniors returned to put on the finishing touches and to admire their handiwork. On Saturday, April 10, the big day arrived. This was the day Summer Breeze was to be pre- sented to the Seniors. As was hoped, Summer Breeze came off as one of the biggest hits of the year. Seeing everyone en- joying the prom made the juniors realize that all of their work had paid off. iupper leftl Many tiring hours were spent on the stuffing of the backdrop and the archway on Friday night before the prom. Kenneth Caddy was just one of the juniors that worked for almost 17 hours decorating. tup- per rightl The band, Pure and Simple , real- ly gave the luniors and Seniors an extra treat by imitating Elton john and Elvis Presley at different times throughout the evening. flower rightl Relaxing after the lead- out dance, Donna jackson and Phillip Sims enjoy listening to the band and talking with their friends. flower leftl The first dance of the evening was the Senior Leadout.

They rented a Winne- bago and had several days of fun and relaxation in the Florida sun. Things to do were no prob- lnexperience, lack of depth and difficult scheduling in the initial part of the season were three reasons cited by the Panthers for the squad's early demise. The Panther's first few encounters against their opposition com- pelled an unexperienced team to engage several powerful football clubs. The players adsorbed a crash course in varsity football against local powerhouses. The overcoming of these obstacles will probably prove beneficial in coming games. Although this year turned out to be a disappointment, the black cloud seemed to have a silver lining. The Panthers gained stam- ina, experience, and self-determ- ination, not to mention how to run, block and tackle, through countless practices and weekly games. fupper leftl Mike Walker, lr., second year letterman, carries the football in an effort to gain six points. fupper rightl jamie Morgan, lr., second year letterman, rounds the corner to try to gain some yardage. flower leftl Ken Nichols, Fresh., first year letterman, punts the ball out of Panther territory. flower rightl Craig Wells, Soph., first year letterman, tries to slow down the opposition. i 40 Football I 5 Y ,M in , 5. .. ...Z5L.-aff l TW TA' A .

The Pep Club helped build a tremendous spirit at Hat Day on Thursday which lasted the entire weekend. The cheerleaders seemed to never stop as they decorated the Homecoming float the entrance to the dance and also provided a spirit filled bonfire. Then boys supplied the action for the night but disappointingly lost 34-2 to the Southern Academy Cougars. The Homecoming Court beamed brightly as they circled the foot- ball field during halftime. Linda Springfield was crowned Home- coming Queen by the 1974 al Queen Sandra Gault. The night rocked on as music by King Size filled the air. It was a weekend filled with laughter tears and other emo- tions that are in another page of history at Thomasville Acad- emy.

These practices often consist of sweating hours with temperatures of 100 degrees in the shade and a booming voice known as Coach . Following the exercises and a few hours of practice a long awaited water break arrives. After three or four gulps the team starts back up. When the last sprint is run everyone pokes up the hill to pull off the ton of equipment and drag off to home. Wearily they awake the next morning and think of the afternoon practice, and they crawl back in-to bed. fupper rightl With the score in favor of the other team, Coach Clanton thinks ofa better game plan. flower rightl Bobby Digmon, Soph., second yr. letterman, and Kenneth Gaddy, lr., Second yr., letterman, run across the field to cut off the opposition. 6 Football s, 1 ., m 32.0222 1. ..1 , 1, i'-1-:iff fimifkf HM ' . .Y f- A45 tff fri 91f:5Zt' ,,..',z4fv my ,tif 4, ff! if ., ..,, QW4 f pews- ,,, ,Q f' iff' 'W' f -ti?-vw arg:-'v.

These feats could only be accomplished by nine people filling such posi- tions as catchers pitchers and outfielders. The whole season depended on the abilities of these nine players.

T lf: i Tl in i n g B o o k FROM AN EDITORS VIEWPOINT Our staff was small again this year. We had five rookies and four overworked and underpaid veterans. Last summer, the staff attended a photography workshop in Mobile for three days. A one day workshop was held here for the purpose of teaching new workers the do's and don'ts of yearbooks. In the spring several members attended an awards banquet at the University of Alabama. The Thoacan '75 received an honorable mention in the C division fhigh schools with under 400 studentsl of the Ala- bama Press Association. Considering that we have less than fifty students in high school, we feel that it is a valuable and prestigious award for our school. Thoacan '76 will be critiqued this fall and we are doing our best to produce another great book. The variety of the book has broadened this year. We try to bring you the fads as well as the facts. We have covered more information thus our book has grown in size. Deadlines seemed to be a problem this year as we did not meet any. The year seemed to slip away while our book was in the planning stages. Too much boogying, talking, and bumping went on and too little hard basic work was done. There were many disappointments because a yearbook not only requires work but also it calls for responsibility. Shirley Harrison, the yearbook advisor, did more work than any of the staff, as she tried to salvage what little sanity there was left in the staff by the end of the year. It takes a dedicated person to work the long hours that she worked and we feel lucky to have had her to stick by us through a rough year. There was a good deal of talented work this year, and with a little experience most of the problems will cease and better books will be produced in future years. It was a busy year filled with picture taking, beauty reviews, darkroom, and yearbook work. We feel I all of the pains taken to produce Thoacan '75 i.' .'3 Yi' worth the effort. We 3'-cpe that you, the L!flJO'l'W,3 of 'Thomasville Academy, enjoy reading and loofif1.33jatouriabo:'. fi nnugzl jlzafl vf7 'e n 1 I' l. l fwflf X . X . M. 3 f.,,,, , if 2 jg'-' V .

This week included a student, teacher, and a school apprecia- tion day. The Beta Club took fruit baskets and cards to the residents of the Nursing Home at Christmas time. They also gave a party and Val- entines to the residents of the Thomasville Adult Adjustment Center. The main purpose of the club was to make students aware of the im- portance of a good education.

The school does not employ a full time librarian, therefore, the students are needed to assist the faculty in the maintenance of the library. The Library Club was formed for this purpose. It is composed of students who spend their study hall time as library as- sistants. With the addition of approx- imately 300 new books this year, the librarians were kept busy. Most of the new books arrived with catalogue cards. The cards were placed in the catalogue file, and the books were then processed for the shelves. The books that came without cards required the most work. Three to eight cards per book had to be typed before they could be pro- cessed. After the books were finished, the librarians had continuing responsibilities. They checked books in and out, collected overdue books, and kept the library orderly. There were many books do- nated tothe library during the year. The most valuable ones were a set of 42 volumes on World War ll history donated by ltflr. Trice jackson, and a new set of Britannica Efiyfclri- perlia donated by Dr. Her., y. 7Ol.ilira.'i C 1, ly l . it Li V l if l .

They pepped up the team with banners, pep rallies, cheers, and even candybars. Each member had pride in the team still yelling whether win- ning or losing. A girl was selected every week for the spirit she showed and was given a spirit stick. At the end of the year, the girl that showed the most spirit throughout the year was cho- sen Miss Panther Spirit.

It consists of par- ents, teachers, and other inter- ested people. The PTFO has three money making projects - the Halloween Carnival, the five hundred dollar bill drawing, and the Spring Festival. .The Hallo- ween Carnival was the largest project which made over 56000. They made S2300 from the draw- ing andthe Spring Festival bought in 5950. Four meetings were held this year. A book fair held in Septem- ber was the first program on the calendar. Approximately two hundred books were donated to the library by parents and friends. The Christmas program pre- sented by all the elementary stu- dents was next on the agenda. Mrs. Downey played the piano for the program, which consisted of favorite Christmas carols. The third meeting was perhaps the highlight of the year. Students in grades four through twelve had prepared Bicentennial projects for six weeks and their work was on display. The first, second, and third graders entertained every- one with a play. Each child rep- resented one of the states in cos- tume and speech to help Uncle Sam celebrate his birthday. lt was a proud moment for parents, teachers, and students. At the final meeting new officers were elected to carry on the good work of a successful organtzation.

The 1975-76 faculty is one of the youngest the school has ever had but their age did not interfere with their ability to teach. In addition to teach- ing, they have devoted their spare time to helping the students with their extra activities. They play such roles as sponsors, coaches and advisors. The faculty has two new additions to their staff, Mrs. Donna Smith and Miss Carol Ann Colburn. Besides being the schools secretary, Donna spends a lot of her extra time doing odd jobs for the faculty and students. Miss Colburn is the new fourth grade teacher. She helps the fourth graders with many of their projects whether they are related to the school or not. Through student co-operation, this has been a good year for the faculty. They hope that the years to come will be the same. 82 Faculty list . .5 ,yf l UIC ip: -v,-V1.3 E, ' .- f.

On their class trip to Selma, they visited the fire station and the Coca Cola Bottling Co. At the fire station they were allowed to ex- amine the fire trucks and the fire fighting equipment. When they visited the Coca Cola Bottling Co., they were given free drinks, which were well appreciated by them. J A , ...N :mtmknlak pb!

Most people would think that girls are the only ones who would have anything to do with this crazy new game, but they are dead wrong. After seeing the tele- vision commercial with the football player lemon twisting, the boys soon followed. Although the girls did it for fun, the boys lemon twisted in order to build strong mus- cles and coordination. tleftl The second graders work hard in pre- paring a May basket for all of the teachers.

When they find an empty pool of water it is instantly transformed into a water playground for screaming, playful chil- dren. Of course this summertime fun can take place in creeks, rivers, lakes and ponds as well as backyard or com- munity swimming pools. The exercise involved is only an after thought. Their main objective is splashing, racing, div- ing, playing pranks on each other and simply trying to out do one another. This pastime is perhaps the most popular summer sport for everyone. , . - , ,, ,. ., -. T- ,in ..,...,,.,.,, uf..

This year's sixth grade enjoys reading whether it's classwork or just for fun. For a change of pace, the science class went on field trips to collect leaves for studying. Their end-of-the-year party was a day long picnic on the football field.

They really have pedal power as they round the bend and come to a sudden stop. The stop sign means only tem- porary rest for them. They turn the corner and race down a shady dirt raod. All you see is a glint of steel and a long trail of dust behind them, When the dirt road intersects with the main road, they glide easily on the smooth gravel. Clean, fresh air and exercise really appeal to them. The scenery is another important reason the 7th graders ride. They take in everything happening around them. Sometimes they like the stillness of the country side mingled with their merry chatter. At other times they prefer the noise and the busy streets of town. Of all the reasons they like to ride, the most important reason is to do their own thing-to be blue-jean clad cyclists. i- -vue., .balm ' 1 f' fiifif QT: Y' 'll Aqfillfllli-.

Two of these girls were chosen cheerleader for the 1976-77 year and three boys joined the varsity football team. In May they ended the school year by having a class skating party.

All of them enjoy skating whether it is the excitement of skating as fast as they can or just improving their skating skills. The veterans find pleasure in the races and games such as scooter racing and whistle skating. The beginners have a hard time learn- ing how to skate when this group in- vades the rink. Most of the beginners hug the rails. Those daring enough to risk leaving the safety of the rails usually get pushed down. In the end the eighth graders are tired and sore but happy.

But before we begin to dwell on the future, let's glance back at their last days of high school, their senior year. Members of the senior class were involved in every aspect of school life at T.A. There were seniors on each of T.A.'s sports teams. Each of the clubs and organizations had seniors on their membership role. Senior leadership was proven by the count- less honors and offices held by 1976 graduates. The cheerleaders were lucky to have two seniors on the squad. Also included in their year were the usual activities of seniors. To raise money for graduation expenses and to pay for their class trip to Florida, they sold Tom Wat. The juniors' gift to the Seniors was the prom, Summer Breeze . It was a beautiful night that went all too fast. There were parties throughout the year, but the most memorable ones will probably be those held in their honor. Yes, the 1975-76 graduates have a wonderful year of memories to look back on and a promising future to look forward to. l 1 mf'- .- 'lgtvi ' 1'l227fs,3f5ifZ3-5 ,' ., ,E 1 5' .93-1fi'52,ifS'i'F - ,,, - -1' -f 151 ?'9fJ?

Numerous trees, shrubs, bulbs, and flowers were planted by T.A. students aided by Mr. Etheridge. Mr. Etheridge encouraged the students to take pride in our school's appearance. Not only did they help with the planting but they also sacrificed study halls to mow grass, prune shrubs, and do other tasks necessary for ground upkeep. Thomasville Academy received fifty roses from the City of Thomasville and the Garden Club who are working toward Thomasville becoming, once again, a Rose City . -' AP' 4- u ,- . '.
