The activities ranged from “Silent Day” to a bomb scare. “Silent Day,” October 8, was a deafening ex- perience. A rigid rule of no talking was up- held in the classrooms and halls by teachers and students. The only means of communica- tion were notes and sign language. The quiet terminated that afternoon at a pep session for the Franklin County game. The second annual Tullahoma Jazz festival added a swinging note to January. Stage Bands from all over the Southeast competed for trophies and the $150 prize. The Tennes- see Tech Troubadors were the main attraction. Before the festival, THS was the host for the Jazz Clinic. The clinic was highlighted by a workshop conducted by percussionist, Deryl Goes. The month of February shot off with the fearless faculty challenging the UT players to a game of basketball. Although the faculty was defeated, the evening was full of fun and good spirits. After weeks of postponment, the girls finally had their day. The ‘Sadie Hawkins” Dance was held March 11. Music was provided by the Mayflower Compact. An array of assemblies broke the pattern of everyday life at THS proving both entertaining and informative. One of the most outstanding programs was given by former light-weight boxing champion, Archie Moore, on the topic of working together. Another entertaining as- ee was a performance by MTSU’s Drama lub. The 1972 school year was full of exciting and enriching events. They have added to the life of THS to make it a year always remem- bered. 21
