Prom ’69 A Step into the Past— the Roaring Twenties The Roaring Twenties came to life for one magic night, complete with a vintage automobile and a corner bar. Sophomores attired as flappers and barbershoppers served a traditional banquet; entertainment was provided by a corps performing the Charleston. Following the evening of dancing, the juniors and seniors moved onto the theatre for The Night They Raided Minsky's. Everybody Loves Opal Mr. Snively, strictly the giant, chocolate malt type, directed the play casts through long hours of tedious rehearsals. Opal's continuous line of tea bags was used to brew this toast to an ill-fated partnership. Lovable, senile Opal (Jean Waters) lives an uneventful life with her cats in this city dump estate until . . . David Jones and Greg Albritton portray two con-men who contrive the get-rich-quick scheme around which the ploy revolves. The use of make-up creates the desired effectas handsome men become a little more so. 16 TCHS's answer to Rowan Martin came to life during the Thanksgiving production of Laugh-In.

Under their leadership, local schools have advanced in both curriculum and teaching facilities. Under the leadership of Superintendent Jack Williams, the administrative staff ably carries out the policies of the Board of Education. It is the administration's constant endeavor to which the students owe the broad educational opportunities offered at TCHS. Mr. William Butkovich provides inspiration and leadership both in academics and extracurricular activities. Requiring strictdiscipline, molding characters, seeing that all students attend school regularly, and enforcing all policies of the Board of Education make the executive branch respected for their efforts in upholding high educational standards. 52 Guidonce Counselor, Terry Binnion, spends much of his time in face-to-face interviews with the students. The guidance office realizes that students must know job and college requirements, as well as have complete understanding of their individual capacities in order for them to be able to make intelligent decisions pertaining to their planned course of study. For the students' convenience in attaining this insight, numerous university catalogs, college handbooks, and occupational materials have been accumulated and are made available to the student.

General Business gives a student background in and prepares him for his important role as a consumer in a free enterprise system. Mr. Best's Typing I students concentrate on upping their speed scores as they prepare for a 3-minute timing. Business Education Explores Vocational and Personal Areas Business plays an important part inevery-day affairs. General Business aids students in being wise and efficient consumers. Bookkeeping students keep personal and financial records. Future secretaries, working to learn the alphabet in shorthand class, memorize strange letters and read page after page of material before beginning dictation. Two classes of Typing I experimentally learned the number keyboard before beginning to type letters, while the remaining classes progressed quickly from familiar words to the typing of sentences. 56 Students enrolled in Business English during the first semester studied o newly instituted course, Business Low, during the second semester. Diana Ochs works on a simulated project in the office procedures classroom. This room was recently equipped with all electric office equipment, L-shaped desks and brightly colored secretarial chairs.

English Courses Stretch Vocabularies, Develop Writing Style English, a language taught and spoken throughout the world, is an important key to the future. The English department is the largest and most diversified department in the school. Through short story units, poetry, novels and panels, students explore the world of literature. Grammar is stressed throughout the sections as preparation for college entrance exams, term papers, and general communication. Mrs. Madigan's senior English classes deal in abstract thinking, independent study, and lively group discussion in a pre-college atmosphere. 58 Grace Madigan English IV Richard Kommerman English I • II Juniors relate their world to that of an earlier age through study of charts and research projects. Dorothy Weaver English I Sophomores review the mechanics of grammar in preparation for creative, concise writing of themes and book reports. Maurice Snively Speech Connie Link English III Denny Brandon English II 59 Language Curriculum Emphasizes Correct Speaking, Literature The conquering of accents and becoming acquainted with the unfamiliar were problems faced by all beginning language students. Everyday classroom procedure included dictation, oral drills and sentences to be translated. The beginners found French to be an enormous tongue-twister. A reading knowledge of Latin and French, and an acquaintanceship with the two cultures were the primary objectives. Advanced students became more familiar with verb tenses, sentence structures and continued their struggle with pronunciation. 60 Agriculture Curriculum Changing Mr. Miller demonstrates the many uses for a power drill. Often old fashioned methods give way to the new very slowly. T. R. Miller Vocational Agriculture Soon the weather will permit these would-be surveyors to practice in the field. But as times change, curriculum changes to provide vocational competencies in varied areas. 61 Advanced biology students find that, next to wearing one, skinning a mink can be shriekingly exciting. Anita Brown Biology-Advanced Biology Science Classes Gain New Understandings The biology students made many incisions into the study of life, by dissecting frogs, minks, and other specimens. Although not agreeable to the eye, young biologists found it fascinating. Physics class spent much time in solving problems while experiments supplemented classroom activity. Earth Science students delved into the mysteries of outer space and the world around them. Having suffered the usual casualties of broken test tubes and burned fingers, the Science Department slipped through another year. Students of chemistry introduced to open-end experiments started from scratch; they recorded significant data, the procedure and apparatus used, and what the report proved. Through this technique, a student gains insight into how a scientist conducts, records and performs a task. Kay Kleiss Chemistry-Physics Richard Lish Earth Science It helps to get a grasp on the entire world when studying the relation of earth, sky, and seas. Lyle Tingley explains to female members of the class that it takes superior male intelligence to understand the complicated laws of physics. 63 Dennis Collier Richard Kidwell Geometry Algebra Math Classes Study Number World Math plays an important part in our lives every day. The courses offered by the mathematics department emphasize the practical uses of numbers as they relate to the earth and the universe. In beginning math classes, the students learn the basic fundamentals of arithmetic, the various equations, and unknown variables. Geometry deals primarily with planes and their surface characteristics. Students studying advanced math are led into a broader reach for unknowns; the usage of graphs; the function of polynomials; unit vectors; and other fundamentals of trigonometry. 64 Olga Hall Ethel Snider American Problems U. S. History Social Studies Encourages Freedom Of Thought Keeping students well-informed, the Social Science department helps to form a background for problems facing today's world. Pupils become familiar with world situations through the use of films, tapes, and the overhead projector. Discussions allow them to express their personal opinion. The past is linked with history in the making as students make frequent reports on current events. Mr. Maloney's expertise at industrial drawing helps advanced students individually plan and maintain projects which will aid them in putting to use their skill in a future profession. Industrial Arts Students Eugene Maloney Industrial Arts Make Useful Objects From Woods, Metal The industrial sounds of hammering, the hum of the lathe and sawing could be heard whenever shop classes were in progress. Students learned the basics in carpentry as applied to the use of wood and metal. The transformation of strips of metal and blocks of wood into useful objects and sometimes good fingers into sore ones, was commonplace as students applied their knowledge to various projects. 66 Studying is sometimes interrupted by the action at the next table. With the coordinated efforts of Mrs. lies and her assistant, Mrs. Helm, the TCHS library is run with great efficiency. Library Serves Entire School A lonely researcher pours over one of the many volumes which line the library shelves and waits for the surge of students who will soon fill these vacant chairs. 67 Neophyte artists work with the primary colors to produce the desired tincture. Eva Quirico finds use for this culinary implement outside the conventional kitchen setting. Walls of Art Room Lined With Student Projects Though students enrolled in art classes are introduced to the many fine art masters through documentary slides and films, they especially enjoy working on various projects which are expressions of their own creativity. 9 68 Larry Sluder Art Choosing a pattern is serious business. Just studying! Busy Homemakers Margaret Herrmann Home Economics Young seamstresses learn to operate sewing machines, to match notch A to notch B, and to eventually complete creations ranging from pantsuits to formal wear. In December the home ec girls prepared and served the traditional holiday tea for members of the faculty. 69 Bill Burress Drivers' Ed Basketball Coach Eugene Murray Drivers' Ed Athletic Director Behind the Wheel Practice Stresses Techniques for Car Care, Safety After d iscussing the owning and operating costs of driving a car, most students enrolled in driver education classes decided they could make-do with their parents' wheels! They also learned that drivers, regardless of age or experience, must quickly recognize dangers and act accordingly. The novice drivers found this takes much co-ordination between mind and body. Over 140 students, eager to obtain their driving permits, enrolled in the driving course. In addition to spending approximately six clock hours behind the wheel, they took testsforglare recovery and braking time and studied safe driving essentials through demonstrations. Mr. Burress demonstrates the importance of reaction time to sophomores during the classroom phase of drivers' education. 70 PE Classes Enjoy Varied Sports Developing and co-ordinating muscles was the goal set by all physical education classes. To reach their goals they participated in vigorous sports and strenuous exercises. The boys took part in football, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, weight lifting and softball. The girls engaged in badminton, volleyball, basketball, and bounced high on the trampoline.

Old Gold and Black Echoes Survives No, John; the newspaper is free-even to faculty members. Early in the year Press Club, faced with a depleted treasury, polled the students on the advisability of continuing publication of Old Gold and Black Echoes. Finding that the paper would be sorely missed if it were discontinued, reporters worked steadily to cover the school news in a mimeographed news sheet. Members wrote copy, cut stencils, and operated the press that the student body might be kept in tune with TCHS happenings. 85 Suiting up tor the game.

Tribe members participated in many morale building activities. Pep buses were taken to athletic events; signs were everywhere prophesying the downfall of Warrior opponents. The Spirit Stick award revitalized school spirit during pep assemblies. Spirit was nowhere lacking as one voice attempted to scream louder than any other thus winning the traveling trophy forhis own class. Yes, indeed! a continuous string of fun, excitement, and plenty of spirit boosted the esteem of athletics this year. Top Row: B. Rogers, D. Ochs, 1. Mogley, D. Allen, J. Davis, M. Gallaher, T.

With instruments at their sides, they marched and performed many unforgettable pre-game and half-time ceremonies. After the football season ended, band members participated in concert activities with the choral group and practiced diligently for spring contest activities.

Warriors Have High Spirit And Under the leadership of the new head football coach, Lynn Strack, the Warriors prepared themselves for some of the toughest competition encountered by the TCHS grid team. Preseason predictions of an Okaw Valley championship failed to materialize early in conference play as Newman set the pace for repeated gridiron defeats. Beginning in August and continuing throughout the season, the Warriors spent countless hours in preparation to face their opposition. Although the usual emphasis was placed on physical readiness, this year's coaching staff concentrated on the most vital asset to any athletic team--spirit. Although the Warriors had an unsuccessful season, coaches Bob Trimble and Lynn Strack look forward to a promising team in 1970.

Coach Jim Hunt piloted the sophs in their win over Atwood and in their losses to a half-dozen area opponents. The partial slack in the team was due to injuries and lack of participants. All of those on the 1969 sophomore squad had to become accustomed to a tougher brand of football which maturity brings to the game. These boys will be anxious for football to resume next fall under the direction of the varsity coaches. 98 At the opening of the 1969 football season, a talented group of freshmen greeted coach Les Sluder and student-coach Denny Fredrick. Displaying outstanding individual abilities, the hardworking team became a surprisingly high scoring unit outpointing their opponents, 1 52 to 124.

Plenty of heft and the proper frame of mind are necessary characteristics of a good weightman. Under the tutelage of Coach Robert Trimble, Tuscola's shot putters and discus throwers racked up points and broke records all over the Okaw. Tops among the weight men during the '69 season were Rick Reinhart, Gary Foltz, and Mark Owen. The fleetest members of Tuscola's track aggregation ore the sprinters and hurdlers.
