1 ooo IT' - 3 Sandspur 1965 Valdosta High School Valdosta, Georgia Volume XXIV l We Present This Prologue Jules Jesserand Remember this also, and be well persuaded of its truth: the future is not in the hands of Fate, but in ours. We pause at a modicum of success to recall the golden moments of time just past. With thought but no regret, we assess the past to appreciate the present, to grasp the essence of each transient moment. We hold the future in our hands—hands uncertain and inexperienced, yet eager and strong in their youth. With each tomorrow comes wisdom, the result of mingling the happiness and sadness of today and yesterday. We present this prologue. 3 SANDSPUR Captures Memorable Moments 4 Of Students, Faculty Clubs pages 86-117 Classes pages 118-171 Community pages 172-197 Administrative Experience Provides Stability, Forms Pattern for Young Ideas Superintendent n.

Harold Gulliver, records secretary, find that many of Experience is an anchor upon which young people can depend for stability. Their be- havior and their ideas are often patterned af- ter those of experienced supervisors whom they respect and admire. With over fifty years of experience in ad- ministration, teaching, and guidance, the ad- ministrators of VHS are well-qualified to serve as prototypes for the students they guide. Mr. Bridges, principal of VHS for seventeen years, commands the utmost respect. He al- ways considers the personal and the intellec- tual welfare of the students. Guidance-counselor at VHS for ten years, Miss Ford is familiar with the problems of teenagers. She is just as able to help students face personal problems as she is to guide them in their academic problems and prepara- tion for college or careers. Mr. Nunn has filled the position of super- intendent of city schools for fifteen years. Al- though his supervision extends over all city schools, he always finds time to aid and advise the students of Valdosta High. As secretary to Miss Ford, Mrs. Lawley keeps the files in order for easy reference. 7 8 Mrs. Brown Leaves Lovely Image God give me sympathy and sense. And help to keep my courage high; God give me calm and confidence, And please, a twinkle in my eye. With wisdom, understanding, and a twinkle in her eye, Mrs. Vera Brown presents a perfect example of the qualities named in her favorite quotation. For the students fortunate enough to be enrolled in her class- es, Mrs. Brown brings Latin to life, confirming the familiar statement that Latin Lives Today. Although her teaching the classic language keeps many students from being in her classes, few fail to come in contact with Mrs. Brown's friendliness. She goes out of her way to help not only the students in her senior home room and her Latin classes but all the students in the school. Her retirement next year will be a great loss to both students and faculty of Valdosta High. With sin- cere gratitude for the encouragement and inspiration she has given during her years with us, the senior class dedicates the 1965 SANDSPUR to Mrs. Brown. 9 TOP LEFT: Assistant editor Larry Harrell presents Mrs. Brown with her corsage at the SANDSPUR dedication on Senior Day.

BOTTOM: Latin II students Ellen McKey, Allen Scott, Georgette Gunn, Elissa Landey, Clarence Smith, and Wanda O'Quinn listen as Mrs. Brown reminds them that Gaul as a whole is divided into three parts. Education Is Enrichment Alexander Pope Education is the catalyst which creates the adult and implants within him the unsatisfied hunger for more knowledge. It is the goal of a complete and dynamic being, the synthesis of true desire and concentrated effort to acquire learning. It is the product of eager exploration, by the students and expert direction by the faculty. Education is enrichment. 'Tis education forms the common mind; Just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined. II MR. JIMMY B. COPELAND JR. A.B., Valdosta State College, English, history. Emory Junior College.

It goes right through here, says Mrs. Herchel Hamill as she explains the operation of the new film projector to Mrs. Converse McKey. 12 Realizing that a knowledge of English forms the basis of all other learning, the English department of Valdosta High School has set as its objectives ease in self-expression, use of a broader vocab- ulary, and a clearer understanding of life through literature. Regardless of their post-graduate plans, all students will need a thorough com- mand of their language. For the college- bound students, book reports, themes, and research papers teach judgment and logical presentation of thought. Students planning to enter the business world place emphasis on grammar and public speaking units. And, because modern society demands a knowledge of international civilizations, students are given an insight into the culture of modern nations through the study of European and American writings.

Mr. Wooten and art student Beverly Googe make plans for the city-wide art exhibit held at Valdosta Junior High School. In combination with the English classes, the VHS art de- partment encourages the study of man and his place in the universe. As English students learn to value literary classics through the study of literature, art students are taught to recognize and appreciate the masterpieces of the world's famous artists. Creative expression is evident in the art students' paintings, sketches, and collages. English students display creativity in essays, themes, poems, and stories. Reinstated into the curriculum after an absence of one year, the art program at VHS boasts an enrollment of 63 students. 15 In the midst of hundreds of language and travel books, Mrs. Brown and Latin students Jimmy McRae and Joe Price still find the Latin-English dictionary most helpful. MRS. VERA T. BROWN A.B., University of Alabama, English, Latin; Columbia; University of Virginia; Birmingham Southern. Teaches: Latin II, Latin III. Language Study Expands, Enriches Environment 16 At a time when a rapidly expanding environment requires international concern, language courses at VHS promote greater interest in other nations. French and Spanish familiarize students with foreign ideas and customs. At the same time they add to the student's understanding of his own national literature. Alien phrases met in both classical and light read- ing prove less of a stumbling block to language stu- dents, while a knowledge of modern languages makes many a menu more understandable. Because sixty per cent of all English words have Latin roots, this classical language enriches the stu- dent's vocabulary by acquainting him with the stems of words in his own language. In addition, the real- ization that some of the Latin classics have endured for more than two thousand years arouses the student's curiosity about the value of classical reading. To foster concern in an expanded and enriched environment, VHS offers three years of Latin, two years of French, and two years of Spanish. Boy, this Cicero is more than I bargained for, Latin ill stu- dents Doug Samuels and Becky Giddens seem to be saying. MRS. DOROTHY J. CONNELL B.A., Valdosta State College, English French.

Miss Jane Meeks, choral director, has a mezzo soprano voice that keeps her in demand as a soloist at local churches and at special functions. Mr. Frank Butenschon, bandmaster, plays every instrument used in a regular marching band. His favorite is the trumpet. Under the leadership of these talented per- formers, the choral group and the band learn stage presence as well as music fundamentals. Each group displays its performing skills in concerts, and the Marchin' 'Cats brighten the foot- ball season with swinging halftime shows. Mr. Frank Butenschon is reflected behind the band trophies which the Marchin' 'Cats have won. Before Mr. Butenschon comes in for band practice, Steve McCormick hold a jam session.

More challenging courses meet the demands of space-age living. Math V combines analytical geom- etry, calculus, probability, and determinants. In Al- gebra III and trigonometry, the study of functions, relations, word problems, and slopes is carried out. Although only two years of math are required for graduation, most college-bound students choose Al- gebra I, Algebra II, plane geometry, Algebra III and trigonometry. MRS. MARVIN EVANS A.

What is the coagulation time of a bird dog's blood? . . . From the first week of school until spring, questions like these echo through the halls of VHS. All of this questioning frenzy is the result of the science department's policy of requiring individual projects. Experiments in biology classes range from trying to determine the germ-killing power of different soaps to the study of hybridization in the lespedeza plant. Physics students work with such subjects as the application of the tunnel diode and the proof of Lenz's Law. Projects in chemistry classes include de- termining the molecular weight of sugar and pre- paring nitric acid. Students bring their research to a climax in the spring when many of them enter district and state science fairs. There the projects are exhibited and judged. Research enables science students at each level to supplement regular textbook study. In this way the science curriculum keeps abreast of an ever-increas- ing body of knowledge. MR. W. E.

Social Sciences Envision International Accord Cultivate peace and harmony with all. This simple sentence from George Washington's Farewell Address has echoed in the hearts of his fellow Americans. Today the search for lasting peace and harmony remains the dream of the world. In the United States, under the guidance of elected leaders, all citizens directly or indirectly try to make this dream a reality. Social Studies classes at Valdosta High School en- deavor to strengthen this hope for peace by educa- ting students in the fundamentals of their govern- ment. World history and Bible courses give a broad view of man's search for humanitarian values. United States history and government provide a near view of the problems that have confronted this country. And economics with sociology teach practicality in every- day living. As Mrs. Holly Howell expounds on the history of ancient civilizations, sophomores Charles Dennis, Jody Slocum, Fred Bennett, Charles Joiner, and Linda Peace listen attentively. 24 Mrs. William Wisenbaker discusses with Mrs. Beverly Hickox America on Parade, one of the new editions to the social studies library.

Through calisthenics, dancing, tumbling, and games, boys and girls learn the decisive but easy movements characteristic of good physical coordination. Sports which change with the seasonal cycle of national games are played at VHS. Girls play tennis and volleyball, soccer and speedball, basketball and fundamental golf as well as the less active game- horseshoes. Boys engage in such sports as football, basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, and track. MRS. HERMAN JOHNSON A.B., Valdosta State College; M.A., University of Georgia, physical education.

Believing that education is for the total personality—not for the mind alone—the Board of Education this year returned the shop program to the curriculum. Boys enrolled in Shop I and Shop II learn to use such tools as electric drills, lathes, and power saws. They make scale drawings and build wood projects. In order to make the best use of the facilities in the shop building, Mr. Fannin also teaches eighth and ninth grade boys who come over in a bus from Val- dosta Junior High School. Pencil and ruler are the tools of shop students Kenny Crago, Wayne Montgomery, Richard Rykard, Clay Freeman, and Calvin Hamby as they learn the art of mechanical drawing under Mr. E. J.

And nothing is more important than his learn- ing the safe handling of a car. Combining rules and regulations of driving with experience behind the wheel, the VHS driver education course prepares novice drivers for safe and sane handling of automobiles. Students learn proper care of cars and good driving habits such as yielding right of way, observing safety zones, and obeying traffic signs. During the last weeks of the course, driver's ed. students chauffeur Coach Wil- son to various places in and around Val- dosta. To provide an opportunity for the maximum number of students to have this training, driver education is a one- semester course. Coach Wilson points out the carelessness of some teenage drivers. MR.

Commercial courses enable students to meet the demands of the adult business world. Typing, shorthand, and business English pre- pare students for the mechanical and organiza- tional side of enterprise, while business arithmetic and bookkeeping fit them for its mathematical side. Students in the distributive education and diver- sified cooperative training programs prepare for their careers through on-the-job training in various business establishments in Valdosta. They attend regular classes until fourth period when they leave for their jobs.

Preparing nutritious meals . . . practicing sewing techniques . . . studying interior decorating . . . interpreting home management . . . learning child care ... all these receive emphasis in the broad program offered to VHS girls enrolled in home eco- nomics classes. As the girls study the ideal home in a modern, well- equipped lab, they also learn the value of their her- itage, These girls become conscious of the fine points in setting a table, in serving a meal, and in acting as hostesses. They learn to recognize architectural forms and to arrange the home simply with well-made fur- niture. Appreciation of fading traditions and culture teaches the girls to serve and respect the needs of the modern home. For girls at VHS Home Economics I is a required sub- ject. MRS.

Teaching Careers Mrs. Hollie Howell was 22 years old and had taught for 3 years when this picture was taken. She concludes 36 years of teaching this year. Span Lifetime What is a teacher? She is grace to please and the embodiment of patience. As she works with and molds the lives of her young charges, a teacher is stubborn optimism seeing beyond the present. In a paraphrase from Milton's Paradise Lost, her pupils spring at her coming and by her fair tendeance gladlier grow. She is youth itself—flexible, imaginative, subject to change, re- freshing. A teacher is Mrs. Vera Brown or Mrs. Hollie Howell, whose teaching careers span half an allotted lifetime. A teacher is dedication. ABOVE: Until recently Mrs. How- ell drove a 1953 blue Plymouth.

Upperclassmen watched the newcomers display various talents, in- cluding baton twirling, singing, and a panto- mime. While only fifteen sophomores participated —on a voluntary basis—they represented a cross section of their entire class. Members of the student Council presented this program at the first assembly of the school year. Also inaugurated at this time was the singing of the Alma Mater at the close of every chapel program. Charlotte Cunningham, Pat Giles, and Sis Watson swear by their tatoos as tenor Joe Massey waits to join in on A Whale of a Tale ' Lee Langdale and Phyllis Giles, Student Council president, lead the student body in the singing of the Alma Mater. All Students Plan for Future: Together with students from surrounding high schools, Barbara AAiddlebrooks, VHS senior, and Carol Clary, junior, listen atten- tively to learn requirements for entering Valdosta State College. Dr. Richard K. Winston, an eyes, ears, nose, and throat specialist, shows Bill Brannen, Gretchen McCoy, sophomores, and Penn Wells, junior, folders giving in- formation about a medical career. 38 Seniors Receive Scholarship Awards Averages of 90 or above for their first three years at Valdosta High School won for twenty- five seniors recognition in a special chapel pro- gram. These seniors received scholarship sweaters donated for the fourth consecutive year by Mr. Marshall Castleberry and Mr. Alex Wainer, two prominent business leaders of Valdosta. From this success, the honored group, along with other seniors and juniors, looked toward the future by attending programs that would help them make decisions concerning their higher ed- ucation and careers. College Night, which was held at Lowndes County High School, was an informative program in which representatives from major colleges gave students valuable information concerning their respective schools. Career Day, a program designed to acquaint all students with varied professions and vocations, completed a panoramic view of the future. Gene Odom helps David Rykard try on his scholarship sweater.

Floats . . . high spirits . . . game ... all these fused to characterize the traditional event. Beginning with black to mourn the expected defeat of the Willingham Rams, a series of color days led to the climactic bonfire and shirttail pa- rade. With each color enthusiasm mounted until it erupted with the rumble of the stands at the kick- off. Through the Looking Glass served as the theme for the 1964 Homecoming festivities. This theme inspired ideas for floats and determined decorations for the dance. DOSTA ONE TIME . . . DOSTA All THE TIME yells Elmo Thrash to set the pace for the Homecoming chapel program.

In addition to supervising color days, cheer- leaders planned the bonfire and the pep rally. For the chapel program they paraphrased popular song hits to describe the spirited at- mosphere of the celebration. As another of their important duties, they selected nominees from whom the student body voted on Mr. and Miss Spirit for 1964. Taking over from there, the Student Council planned the parade, half-time ceremonies, and dance. Spurred by the hope of capturing first place, each club participated in the parade by entering a float. Highlighting the game Friday night was the presentation of the Homecom- ing king and queen with their court. On Saturday night students, attired in semi- formal dress, contended with dust and dirt to enter and give life to the new City Au- ditorium. City officials granted the Student Council permission to be the first to use the newly-constructed building. 42 Cheerleaders and Student Council Plan Annual Festivities While their owners are cavorting on the dance floor, a medley of shoes, cups, and corsages patiently wait.

To show off the diversified gifts of their class- mates—and to make money for club projects—Beta Club members, who are talented academically, presented their annual talent revue. Students, parents, and friends filled the VHS auditorium for this event. Randy Smith, Beta president, introduced the acts which included skits, readings, song and dance routines, vocal and instrumental solos, and twirling and acrobatic performances. Out-of-town judges chose a trumpet solo, a swinging combo, and a skit, in that order, and gave honorable mention to a vocal solo. Third-place winner, Kay Blanton, with her winsome smile and manner, assumes the role of a six-year-old.

Among the distinguished speakers were Princess Cath- erine of Rumania and Indianapolis race driver Bob Harky. Local speakers included VHS alumna Kay Powell and Father Thomas Payne. Comedy prevailed in the Homecoming and SANDSPUR skits, while the Christmas play and a preview of the senior class play accorded an element of drama. A new tradition joined the old as the alma mater became an established part of Friday chapel procedure. It's gone! The necklace is gone! says Madame Loisel, Ginger Swenson, to her nusband, Jimmy Patten, in the French Club's production of Guy de Maupassant's The Necklace. 49 Seniors Stage Courtroom Drama District Attorney Flint places the defendant, Karen Andre, played by Phyllis Giles, under rigid cross-examination as Night of January 16th reaches its climax. Tension mounts as Elmo Thrash, portraying the lover of Karen Andre, abruptly enters the courtroom. Bailiff Randy Smith and Prosecuting Attorney Mr. Flint, played by Raleigh Elliott, attempt to restore order. You are to determine whether or not Karen Andre is guilty or not guilty of the murder of Bjorn Faulkner and her fate rests in your hands. Thus began the senior class play. Night of January 16th by Ayn Rand. When all evidence was in, jurors chosen at ran- dom from the audience rendered the verdict. Because this was a more demanding play than those usually chosen for high school production, seniors worked for four months to stage the three act comedy- drama. Mrs. John Hickox, director, and Kay Koch, student coordinator, encouraged and advised the cast and committees as they readied the play for its one night performance. Included in the cast were Raleigh Elliott, district attorney; Larry Harrell, defense attorney; Phyllis Giles as Karen Andre; Jane Mixer as Mrs. Faulkner; David Andrews III as John Graham Whitfield; and Joey Davis as the honorable Judge Heath. When Karen Andre confronts the widow of Bjorn Faulkner, played by Jane Mixer, insults and innuendos break the silence of the courtroom. 50 . . . Enact Television Comedy And away we go! Beginning Senior Day, April 23, with these immortal words of television comic Jackie Gleason, the seniors carried the theme of Dosla Scene Magazine throughout their chapel program. Against the backdrop of colorful stage props, they read the class history, prophecy, and will and testament. After the dedication of the 1965 SANDSPUR, the chapel program closed with a rousing chorus of the Alma Mater. Seniors were excused from classes for the remainder of the day, which they spent at Twin Lakes. Accompanied by Larry Buchwald, Ginger Swenson sings the senior class song.

Clowns, gypsy booths, and circus animals decorated the J. E. Mathis auditorium, the scene of the event. Sophomores dressed in clown costumes served refreshments. Booths set up in the lobby repre- sented a midway. Preceding the dance, at 7:00 seniors attended the Senior Banquet, at which the senior teachers were special guests. For this event which was held at Minchew's Restaurant, Jim Buie, a pre- ministerial student at VSC, was the featured speak- er. Gold charms with the inscription Senior Prom were given to the seniors. Bill Henry and Diann Bazemore, seniors, concenirate intensely on their dance steps while Phyllis Giles, senior, and Dale Bal- lard, junior, laugh at their version of the bird. Raleigh Elliott, senior, momentarily seems to have lost his partner. 53 VHS Emulates Greeks, Lauds Achievers After receiving the Most Outstanding Senior Award, Fran This family unity illustrates one of the characteristics that Woodward rushes to share her happiness with her parents. helped Fran win this honor. Sixteen seniors won varied scholarships for the purpose of con- tinuing their education. They are Wayne Young—Valdosta DE Scholarship; David Stola—Exchange Club Scholarship and Sears Foundation Award for DE Student of the Year; Bill Henry—athletic scholarship to the University of Miami; Terry Godwin—Tom Hardy' Award to VSC; Gene Odom—National Merit Scholarship; Randy Smith—Beta Club Scholarship; Larry Harrell—Elks Leadership Award; Fran Woodward—Elks Leadership Award; Vicki Ryan—Moody Officers Wives Scholarship; Carolyn Wilburn—Sears Foundation Award for DE Student of the Year; Virginia Anderson—academic scholarship to Wesleyan; Barbara Middlebrooks—Private Tuition Grant; Joy Smith—Valdosta Evening Lions Club Scholarship; Mary Joyce Eanes— Elks Scholarship Award. NOT PICTURED: Mark Bargeron—Freshman Scholarship to University of Georgia; Charles Leonard—athletic scholarship to University of Georgia. 54 As the Greeks set aside days to honor their athletes, so VHS delegates one day in May to recognize its students who deserve commenda- tion for their academic, athletic, or extracurricular achievements. And to acknowledge the fact that all achievements begin in the home, the adminis- tration annually invites the parents of these students to attend the Honors Day program. Bolstered by the applause of both fellow class- mates and parents, students mounted to the stage and proudly accepted their laurels for successes and victories. Each award received equal recognition until the program reached its climax. This was the presenta- tion of the Most Outstanding Senior, Fran Wood- ward, and the twenty-seven senior honor grad- uates. Phyllis Giles, president of the Student Council, accepts a tro- phy in behalf of the school from Toni DiMascio, who won the singles AAA Region championship in tennis. Mrs. Frances Worstall and Randy Smith, Beta Club sponsor and presi- dent, share a proud moment as she presents to him the Beta Club Scholarship given for the second consecutive year.

ABOVE: Reverend William T. Ligon, who delivered the bac- calaureate sermon, defined the different kinds of courage that the graduates will need. LEFT: I hope that you never become so secure and safe that you feel it is not necessary to offer the hand of friendship and the warmth of your love, admonishes Mr. James B. Copeland in his final remarks to the graduates. 56 Two generations meet when Mr. Lamar Newbern, chairman of the Valdosta Board of Education and himself a VHS graduate, hands out the diplomas. Lonp; Walk, Speeches Lead to Diplomas Converging from the east and west gates of Cleve- land Field, 219 white-robed seniors moved with dig- nity to the apex of a triangle located at midfield. There they took their appointed places, with the 26 honor graduates seated first, and listened to the speeches preceding the awarding of diplomas. Mary Joyce Eanes, in the salutatory address, re- minded them that they were but unfinished urns waiting to be fired in the kiln of life. And Joey Davis, valedictory speaker, flung his fellow graduates a chal- lenge. Paraphrasing Alfred Lord Tennyson's Ulysses, he invited them to Come, my friends, Tis not too late to seek a better world. Mr. James B. Copeland, principal speaker for the occasion, was the first VHS teacher to be chosen by the seniors to fill this position at their graduation ex- ercises. Quoting from the essays of Ralph W. Emerson, he urged the graduates to Insist on yourself; never imitate. At the baccalaureate services, held in the same place on the previous evening, the Reverend William Ligon of the Lee Street Baptist Church defined the varieties of courage necessary for everyday moral vic- tories. When the speechmaking ended, the graduates, row by row, moved forward to the platform to clasp their diplomas. 57 Diplomas Symbolize Stacked in Mrs. Gulliver's office before graduation night, the diplomas are but impersonal pieces of parchment waiting for the moment when each one will have a deep significance for some graduate. Honor graduate Joey Davis walks briskly back from the platform after receiving his diploma. 58 Completion of Twelve Years Work More than pieces of parchment encased in leath- er, more than solemn testaments that these stu- dents had sucessfully completed a prescribed course of study . . . To each graduate the diploma was a resume of twelve years of study. To some it was a passport to college. To all of them it was an open sesame to an adult world previously viewed from the borderline of childhood. When the last diploma was handed to James Bruce Zager, the recessional—to the strains of Cor- onation March —began. At the gates the graduates paused long enough for Elmo Thrash to lead them in Dosta one time . . Then many of them left to dance all night to the music of the Continentals at the Coun- try Club, where their parents were hosts. First honor graduate Benita Thomas accepts her diploma and the congratulations of Mr. Lamar Newbern. Athletics Builds Character The game is more than the player of the game. And the ship is more than the crew! Rudyard Kipling Athletics is united effort toward a common goal, friendly combat for the sake of entertainment, youthful exertion for a purpose. It is persistent practice, formulated plans, and calculated risks, backed by fair play. It is a challenge to compete without hostility, to win without arrogance, to lose without complaint. Athletics builds character. 61 Coach Wright Bazemore's 1964 Wildcat squad included, FIRST ROW: Tommy Dove, Jimmy Buckner, Bobby Moore, Jack Martin. SECOND ROW: Jimmy Miller, Billy Grondhal, Mike Garwood, Ronnie Cannon, Stuart Mullis. THIRD ROW: Clay Freeman, Jimmy Fender, Rhett Dawson, Emerson Bell, Larry Colson. FOURTH ROW: Mike McMillan, Jimmy Neal, Bill Welch, Butch Pipkin. FIFTH ROW: Robert Strom, Dale Ballard, Mike Deloach. SIXTH ROW: Coach Roland, Coach Wilson, Coach LeFiles. Cats Rebound in Successful Rebuilding Season Although Coach Bazemore tabbed this season as essentially a rebuilding year for the 'Cats, they sur- prisingly managed to remain in the thick of conten- tion until the last few games. With the solid backing of the student body and of local fans, all but one of their road trips were success- ful. Despite heartbreaking losses to Albany and Will- ingham, the young Wildcats made a good showing against experienced region foes. By staging many upsets, the 'Cats rebounded from a 2-7-1 record in 1963 to chalk up a satisfying 7-3 rating. 62 FIRST ROW: Terry Godwin, Bill Henry, Larry Wainwright, Billy Joseph. SECOND ROW: Billy Bray, Robert Goff, Glenn Davis, Kenny Bounds, Charlie Bob Bridges. THIRD ROW: Joe Crane, Jay Hingson, Ricky Rodgers, Mike Markam, Jimmy Clyatt. FOURTH ROW: Danny Williams, Bill Caughlin, Sandy Ellison, Johnny Gun- ter, Kenny Clifton. FIFTH ROW: Phillip Aschom, Tommy Luke. SIXTH ROW: Manager Chip Story, Manager Joe Owens, Coach Greene, Coach Bazemore.

Cats Romp Over Next Four Foes When the dust cleared after the opening game with Waycross, the 'Cats left the field with their first victory of the 1964 season. Next, despite a driving rainstorm, the VHS eleven defeated Baker in Columbus. Fired by this success, Coach Bazemore's young charges routed Doughtery County in Albany and then proceded to blank Jordon at home. To keep pace with a long-standing tradition, the 'Cats upset Lanier in Macon—as most former VHS teams have done. Undefeated and tied for the region, they now anticipated going all the way as region champs. 'Cats Tommy Dove, Larry Colson, Ronnie Cannon, Mike Deloach, Billy Joseph, Jack Martin, Jay Hingson, Billy Grondahl take a break while some of the subs gain game experience. Robert Goff, senior end, tries desperately to elude the grip of a Doughtery County tackier. 65 ?Cats Tumble Three Times, Finish Dale Ballard and a visiting photographer are caught off Northside game, balance by two Northside attackers in the fury of the 66 Third in Region After opening the season with five straight wins, the Wildcats ran into trouble as they dropped three of the last five. But the 'Cats' spirit was riding high and sitting pretty. Albany's Indians had to fight until the last minute to win, 14-21. Under the buffets of the Rams, the 'Cats reeled but came back fighting, only to lose, 12-13. LaGrange's Grangers handed the VHS gridders their most decisive de- feat of the season, 0-13. Loyal support by the students and the city, plus enthusiasm on the part of the players, formed the spirit that inspired the Wildcats to resume a place in the lime- light and finish third in the region. Jimmy Clyatt, junior, heads for paydirt, closely pursued by a Northside tackle. Captains Terry Godwin and Jack Martin call the toss against Albany in the opening ritual of the Albany game. 67 Coaches who led the Wildcats are head coach Wright Bazemore and his assistants, Joe Wilson, Johnny B. Roland, Julian LeFiles, and Charles Greene. CO-CAPTAINS: Jack Martin, Guard and Terry Godwin, Halfback. Tommy Dove—Center Stuart Mullis— Tackle Joe Crane—Center Jimmy Buckner—Halfback Billy Joseph—Guard 68 Eleven Seniors Taste Defeat in Final Game When eleven seniors donned Wildcat uniforms for the last time before the annual Has-Been Will-Be game played on Cleveland Field in March, they expected another victory. They remembered with pride the state championship game of 1962. Although only sophomores, some of them played with that winning team. During their junior and senior years they led the varsity squad to repeated vic- tories. With these memories, they entered the contest against Coach Bazemore's youthful 'Cats. But neither past glories nor a determined come-back effort in the second half kept them from being jolted by the Will-Be's by a 13-12 margin. Billy Bray—Halfback Bill Henry—Guard 69 Hard-charging Has-Been linesmen Stuart Mullis and Jack Mar- tin down Will-Be Bill Parramore. Defeating Warner Robins Sparks Kittens’ Season FIRST ROW: Lela Holland, Betty Potts, Virginia Anderson, Barbara Reaves, Lyndal DeLoach, Becky Giddens, Kathy Wisenbaker, Jean Quick. SECOND ROW: Coach Davis, Janet Odom, Sally Shingler, Jeanne Baca, Judy Grondahl, Mary Beth Mathis, Derreth DeLoach, Ann Freeman, Susie Shingler, Janice Davis, Manager—Donna Blanton. Featuring a balanced attack led by five seniors, Lyndal DeLoach, forward, and guards Barbara Reaves, Virginia Anderson, Betty Potts, and Jessie Mayne, the Wildkittens defeated Warner Robins, the 1964 State AAA Champions, by a 14-point margin. Although they lost to the same team later in the season, this win sparked the Kittens' offense and enabled them to compile a 22-3 record. This vic- tory also bolstered their hopes as they entered the State AAA Tournament, in which they earned fourth place. Even while they accepted praise for their over- all record, the Kittens kept repeating, We did it! We beat Warner Robins.

Columbus Win Encourages 9Cats Winning a region game against a Columbus team in Columbus highlighted the 'Cats' cage season. The 60-52 victory over the Baker Lions was a first for Coach Wilson's Wildcats. After losing their first region game, they came back strongly to break even in region play. Loss of four of five starters by graduation did not hamper the 'Cats as they surprised and pleased their fans by ending the season with a 21-9 record, just one game below that of the previous season.

In the Hahira Invitational Tournament, the Wild- cat and Kitten hoopsters clawed their way to a dual win. Coach Joe Wilson's 'Cats downed Central of Thomasville, Doerun, and Berrien in that order to win the coveted trophy. High jumping, team cooperation, and a fight- ing spirit helped them dominate play all over the court. But they were especially effective under the net. Co-captains Barbara Reaves and Lyndal DeLoach led the Kittens in piling up wide-margin scores against Doerun, Hahira, and Berrien. Spurred by these successes early in the season, both 'Cats and Kittens were ready for their next foes. 72 Forward Johnny Pitcock, supported by Jimmy Carter and Kenny Bounds, demonstrates Wildcat spirit as he steals a rebound for the 'Cats.

Dale Ballard, right, goes up for a crip shot. Jumping for a rebound, Johnny Pitcock displays Wildcat deter- mination while Kenny Bounds eagerly prepares to assist him. 74 Although team effort was a decisive factor in the 'Cats' winning season, several individual players were standouts. Lefty Carter, center, compiled a 21.68 points per game record. Dale Ballard, guard, scored 12.7 points per game and had an average of 8 rebounds per game. Following them in points and rebound statistics were forwards, Johnny Pitcock, 11.3 and 4.5, and Kenny Bounds, 10.1 and 12.5. Guard, Haywood Moore, served as playmak- er for the team and won his teammates praise for being the best defensive player. He aver- aged 8.5 rebounds in each contest. With the speed of Ballard and Moore, the height of Pitcock and Bounds, and the all- around competency of Carter, the Wildcats composed a formidable team. RIGHT: Jimmy Carter snags a wild pass while caged in by a Hahira opponent. BELOW: Kenny Bounds and a La- Grange player clear the floor for the tip-off on the opening moments of the play.

Barbara Reaves jumps for a lay-up shot as a defender attempts to block it. Betty Potts rushes in to assist. As Becky Giddens fights for a rebound, Kathy Wisenbaker follows the play intently. 76 Kittens Reach State 1-AAA Semi-Finals Becky Giddens, No. 4, awaits the next play as Lundal Deloach leaps high to grab a rebound. Coach Davis' Kittens experienced another near miss this season as they piled up a 7-3 region record only to place a very close second in Region 1-AAA and fourth in State 1-AAA play. Warner Robins and Northside of Warner Robins proved to be the only teams that could down the Kittens in regional matches. In the State Tournament at Thomaston, the Kittens toppled Griffin 58-40 and Richmond 52- 40 before they were defeated by Cherokee 34-48 and Robert E. Lee 48-53. When the season closed. Coach Davis' Kittens had won a place among the best girls' basketball teams in the state. But the championship crown had again eluded them. While her teammates Janet Odum, No. 13, and Mary Beth Mathis struggle for the ball, Sally Shingler hopefully awaits the outcome of the play.

STANDING: Tennis Teams With a 3-2 loss to Albany, the VHS racquettes, coached by Mrs. Herman Johnson, ended a 3 year, 27 game, winning streak. When they entered the region triple A tourna- ment in Valdosta, the girl netters sported a 7-1 record for the year. In this meet, Toni DiMascio, senior, was victorious in singles, while Cornelia Carswell and Claudette Pearce, juniors, placed second in doubles. At the state tournament in Atlanta, Toni DiMas- cio was defeated in the first round. Doubles play- ers, Cornelia Carswell and Claudette Pearce, won the first round but met defeat in the second round. Directed by Mr. Julian Lefiles, the VHS boys' team ended the season with a winning 6-1 record.

Tommy Burroughs prepares to rush the net as Jody Slocum returns a volley. 80 Compete for Positions With stamina and hard work, underclass tennis players grueled through long weeks of practice as they sought the number 1 positions. Practice 5 days a week—exceptions being football game days and holidays—from 3:30 to 5:00 each afternoon kept the girl netters aware that they were competing with one another. For the Racquettes, this intense exercise lasted from October to April. Boys began practice in February. By April they had played elimination matches, with sophomores Jody Slocum and Charles Dennis edging out more experienced upperclassmen.

ROW: Glynn Davis, Jerry Brooks, Larry Colson, Ray Corbett, Grady This was a season of close contests and surprises for Coach Johnny B. Roland's baseball Wildcats. For example, in a region contest against Columbus, the score was deadlocked for twelve innings. How- ever, in the bottom of the twelfth inning, a home- run hit gave Columbus three runs. Although the baseball Wildcats beat the top two teams in Region 1-AAA, they dropped out of the heated race for the region crown when they en- countered Albany, Baker, and Columbus—impor- tant region foes. Six seniors—Butch Burgsteiner, Jimmy Carter, Art Kelly, Charles Leonard, Haywood Moore, and Johnny Pitcock—led their team in field play and hitting. In the on-deck circle, outfielder Art Kelly takes a few practice swings. 82 Diamond Team Pulls Surprises Senior pitcher Charles Leonard shows the correct grip to Mike Markham, Glenn Davis, John Smrcina, and Richard Vann of the Wildcat mound corps.

STANDING: Tom Stump, Charlie Evermon, Mike Paine, Tommy Luke, Phillip Ashcom, Sandy Ellison, Rhett Dawson, Dale Ballard, Jay Hingson, Kenny Bounds, Grady Blankenship, Rob- ert Strom, and Coach Charles Greene. With a squad composed mostly of juniors and sopho- mores, Coach Charles Green's thinclads competed in local meets with Lowndes County and Columbus. They journeyed to Albany for an unprofitable region tourna- ment. On the cinder path the team lost every meet. But individual members of the team earned recognition: Bruce Deuly for pole vaulting, Robert Strom for jump- ing high hurdles, Rhett Dawson for throwing the javelin, and Terry Godwin for running the 440. Rhett Dawson strains to launch the javelin high on a distance- gaining flight. Juniors Jimmy Clyatt and Robert Strom take hurdles with virtual ease. Bobby Willis, Larry Buchwald, Terry Stewart, and Don Fink stroll to the first tee. Experience Brings Success to VHS Linksters Experience paid off for Coach LeFiles' golf team in 1965. Returning seniors Jimmy Rigsby, Larry Buchwald, and Bobby Willis, and new sophomore teammate Terry Stewart, compiled a 6-3 record for the link season. In the region tournament in Albany, Jimmy Rigsby and Terry Stewart carded 156 to help the 'Cats finish sixth in a field of ten teams.

Samuel Johnson Dictionary Social clubs stimulate friendships, enliven individual personalities, and create an interest in people. Service clubs work in unison to help those in need and to promote the welfare of school and community. Scholastic clubs present a challenge to intellectual minds and reward achievement in educational endeavors. Sports clubs foster participation in all phases of athletics and encourage recreation for both mind and body. All clubs compete with accord. Student Council Maintains Traditions, Initiates Activities Each year the Student-Council sponsors tra- ditional events and initiates new ones. After helping with preregistration and the sale of I.D. cards, the council promoted Howdy Week. During this week they tagged new students and made a special effort to welcome the others. In place of the usual Freshman March, they had charge of Sophomore Spotlight, a preview of the talents of the upcoming class. Later in the year, they spearheaded the drive for Bun- dle Days to collect clothing for the needy. Traditional events planned by Student Council members were Homecoming festivi- ties and the Christmas Food Drive. They also decorated the Christmas tree in the front hall. To finance these functions, the Student Council held dances in the gym after football games and managed a parking lot on campus for football fans. While guiding all of these activities, the Student Council has as its basic aim the pro- motion of good relationships between stu- dents and administration. No task ever got the Student Council up a tree involuntarily, but Larry Harrell, Fran Woodward, Pen Wells, Sara Ann Rigsby, and Sis Watson demonstrate how they climbed a tree to gather magnolia leaves for Homecoming decorations. Members of the Student Council are, BOTTOM ROW: Emerson Bell—vice-president; Phyllis Giles—president; Sara Ann Rigsby—secretary.

Government Club Puts Civics Into Action As in the past, the Government Club sponsored the student elections. Registered voters from the student body elected a student mayor and city council, but the board of education was missing from the ticket for the first time. Another major club activity was the city and state gov- ernment workshop held in the spring.

As this slogan grew from a mere idea on notebook paper to an official motto on posters and banners, the cam- paign of the Valdosta Beta Club to elect Emerson Bell state Beta president gained momentum. Club members met after school and on Saturdays to paint posters, make favors, and learn campaign songs. Preparations paid off in March, when at the convention in Atlanta, Emerson's fellow Betas chose him to lead the state organization. Following this victory, the Beta Club did not rest on its laurels but displayed the same enthusiasm in preparations for the annual Talent Review. Prior to these major successes, the club won second place for its Homecoming float. McLourm. FOURTH ROW: El'ssa londey, Mary Young Smothermon, Hyfo Mederer, Pam Myddleton, Wanda O'Quinn, Lynn Moran.

Besides the successful Beta Club excursion to Atlanta, DE students also journeyed to Atlanta, where they re- ceived honors at their convention. David Stola and Carolyn Wilburn, chosen state DE Students of the Year, later participated in national competition in Chicago. Star Student Gene Odom, together with other dis- trict winners, made a tour of Georgia. And, in April, four Tri-Hi-Y members presented a bill at the Youth Assembly in Atlanta. Earlier, on January 8, class officers and members of the DE, DCT, and FHA clubs presented a VHS Day television program over Channel 10 in Albany. To take part in the Best Band in Dixie Contest, the Mar chin' 'Cats went to New Orleans at Mardi Gras.

Travelers Address Le Club Franqais While promoting a better understanding of the French language, the French Club encouraged a wider interest in the history, the people, and the language of France. Monthly club meetings featured such speakers as Mrs. Robert Anderson, who told of the French teenagers she observed on her travels through France, and Mrs. Nicole Agis, a native of France and a teacher in the city schools. She spoke of the progress in France. In addition, the French Club has participated in many projects. At Christmas the club members collected toys for the Fire Department and made Christmas cards for the teachers. Crutches and balloons were sold for the March of Dimes. Officers of the French Club thumb through the stacks of records used by the stu- dents studying French. They are Jane Lindauer, treasurer; Jean Anderson, presi- dent; Emil Girardin, vice-president; Janet Odom, secretary; and Melvin Flail, chap- lain.

To develop leadership in high school boys and to foster interest in the fundamentals of civic organiza- tions, the Valdosta Kiwanis Club encouraged mem- bership in the Key Club of VHS. By attending the meetings of the Kiwanis Club every Friday, Key Club boys had the opportunity to observe first-hand the undertakings of a civic club. Members of the Key Club also held their own meetings every Friday morning to discuss civic prob- lems and to decide on projects that they could un- dertake.

Believing that a good citizen possesses Christian ideals and morals, the Hi-Y Club tries to give its members opportunities to strengthen these quali- ties through service. They helped the Salvation Army at Christmas, distributed food to needy families, and collected money for the March of Dimes. Because good citizens are informed about demo- cratic processes, the club sent Joe Owens and Jim- my Buckner as representatives to the Hi-Y As- sembly in Atlanta. There they joined other Hi-Y members in studying parliamentary and legislative procedures. Members put into practice thrift and industry, other desirable traits of good citizens, by operat- ing a parking lot at football games. They used the money raised in this manner to finance the club's activities. 94 For one of their projects, Hi-Y members Henry Sherman, Jimmy Giddens and Joey Davis, President, pick up trash from the school ground. Club officers Lyndal Colson, treasurer; Betty Gene Beck, vice-president; Miss Patricia Loeb, Mrs. Virginia Jarvis, ad- visors; and Mardi Barnes, secretary, listen and comment while Donna Gold- stein, president, practices her presenta- tion speech for the bill introduced at Youth Assembly. Tri-Hi-Y Puts Ideals Into Action Throughout the school year, the VHS Gamma Tri- Hi-Y transformed ideals into action. Donna Goldstein and Mardi Barnes, representatives to the Youth As- sembly in Atlanta, presented a proposal that jurors from ages 15 to 18 judge juvenile offenders. Special committees—school, world service, and community—were responsible for monthly projects.

Governor Carl Sanders tapped them as the marching group to represent Georgia in the Best Band in Dixie Contest held in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. They placed fifth among 18 con- testants. On Honors Day, the Distributive Education Club awarded the Marching Cats the Club of the Year trophy for the second consecutive year. Several members participated in the Music Festi- val at Waycross in May.

At the Christmas concert, the band and chorus joined to present Yuletide Melodies before an audience that filled the VHS auditorium. Selections included Greensleeves, An Old English Christ- mas, and A Wintry Scene. In May, the symphonic band and the chorus presented separate concerts. Featuring A Night of Song, the chorus, dressed in multicolored shifts, sang such songs as Come In from Frostiana Ser- ies, Salvation Is Created, and Surrey with the Fringe on Top from Oklahoma. More than 800 music lovers assembled in the J. E. Mathis Auditorium to listen to the band's Cavalcade of Music, with an Al Hirt medley, Mancini arrangements, and excerpts from Carou- sel. Pictured entering the J. E. Mathis Auditorium to attend the band's spring conecrt are Ruth Hunzeker and Carol Massey, VHS students; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Barr, fc and parents; and Jane Mixer and Carol Sherwood, VHS seniors.

TOP Science Club Promotes Individual Study Science enthusiasts this year reactivated a club dedicated to individual study and research. Under the guidance of Mrs. Grady Mas- sey, members augmented regular class- room work. Separate groups studied bac- teriophage, the structure of the atom, the measure of the star distances, and other fields of science. Local doctors and scientists attended these meetings as guest speakers. Doctor M. E. Thompson Jr. discussed improve- ment of school projects, while officers of the.Science Club helped students with their school assignments. Coach W. E. Davis gave an explanation of prime mat- ter and the origin of the universe. Before a Science Club meeting, officers examine many of the interesting objects used in their research.

Composed of girls chosen for leadership and ability in P.E. classes, the Girls Athletic Association em- phasizes good sportsmanship, participation in sports, and above all, physical fitness. Among the activities sponsored this year was a cancer booth at the American Legion Fair in No- vember. These girls helped Mrs. Johnson, P.E. teacher, co-ordinate intramural sports and encouraged all out- door activities. GAA derived benefits from affiliation with the National Physical Education Department, National Girls Athletic Association, and the American Associa- tion for Health, Physical Education and Recreation. Many girls received patches from the last organ- ization for high scores on a physical fitness test.

Activities carried on by the club are an outgrowth of classroom and practical experience received at the training station of the student. Dosta DECA has as its aim the development of future leaders for marketing and distribution. Many store owners, managers, and top salesmen in Valdosta are DE alumni. DECA focuses its activities toward teaching mem- bers to serve as leaders and followers. Young people enrolled in this organization have opportunities to win state and national recognition. Students placed in various retail, wholesale, and service occupations in and around Valdosta attest to the value of the program as they work toward occupa- tional goals in the field of marketing and distribution. At the convention in Atlanta, David Stola and Carolyn Wilburn received DE Student of the Year trophies.

In addition to supplementing classroom work and on-the-job training, the DCT also functioned as a regular club. Among its activities were sponsoring barbecue suppers before football games and partici- pating in the VHS Day television program in Albany. For their business, civic, and social activities, the DCT Club won third place in the Club of the Year Con- test. Officers of the DCT Club are JoAnn Beck, secretary; Mr. Horn, advisor; Beverly Nelson, president; Darrell Gaskins, vice-president; Tommy Wilkes parliamentarian; and Mary Jo Wil- liams, treasurer.

Both groups this year made practical application of their future plans. FTA members assisted teachers in typing and grading tests. They gained actual teach- ing experience by coaching fellow students and at- tended a better bulletin boards workshop sponsored by Mr. Wooten. Representatives of the club were honored guests at a special Future Teachers Day held at Valdosta State College. Girls in the FHA served at the football, basketball, and DE banquets and prepared most of the lunch- room bulletin boards.

Potts, Blanton, Koch, Schroer, Shingler, Rigsby, Schroer, Rodgers, and Stark, Giles, Bazemore, Jolley, Calhoun, and Hooker. This adaptation of the familiar coaches' yell expresses the feelings of the student body toward two of the prettiest groups in the school, the football and basketball cheerleaders. For the second year, two separate squads of girls walked the halls of VHS with the familiar cry, Want to buy a spirit ribbon? They bolstered spirit both at home and on the road with before-the- game pep rallies and during-the-game cheering. Football cheerleaders climbed the goal- posts and basketball cheerleaders strad- dled the gym stands to put up the color- ful decorations for each home game. Elec- ted by their felow students, they repre- sented the school as official hostesses to visiting cheerleaders and teams. Suzie Stark, Captain Basketball cheerleaders pose on the ladder they use to decorate the gym.

Faculty editors Lyndal Colson and Henry Sherman and club editor Frances McMahon sleepily trudge to school for another early-morning picture-taking session. to 1965 SAN Time, time-SANDSPUR time! —to paraphrase an old jumping-rope jingle—was the chant of SANDSPUR staff members. Hours spent planning pages, cropping pictures, and writing copy; early mornings and late afternoons devoted to setting up and taking pictures,- and final frantic minutes before mailing pages: all these went into the prep- aration of the yearbook. Beginning with the colorful aerial view of the school, the staff proceded to picture both the near and the far, the present and the future aspects of VHS life. And when the book was finished, the seniors who were its authors put away their rulers, pen- cils, typewriters, and copy sheets to wait for Aug- ust and the arrival of the 1965 SANDSPUR. Mrs. Wolinski's usual calm restraint is overcome by exasperation as the deadline nears. Now who can this be? asks junior editor Jane Mixer as she, sophomore editor Nancy Talton, and senior editor Kay Koch ponder over class pictures. 113 Jane Lindauer, news editor, Joe Crane, sports editor, and Linda Blase, feature editor, frequently peer around corners in search of news. Each month for a half-hour the usually exuber- ant life of VHS comes to a standstill. Silence reigns. Except for a rustle of paper and an occasional subdued laugh, no one speaks. When the stillness is finally broken, someone says, This is a good paper. For nothing except the disturbance of the OUT- LOOK could produce this calm. Each student carefully reads in search of news about his friends and about himself. His philosophy is We make the news, the OUTLOOK prints it. Nor does the paper disappoint him. In fact, Fran Woodward, editor, and the other members of this year's staff endeavored to print all the news and views of VHS. Their advisor was Mrs. John Hickox.

They are, FIRST ROW: Kenny Lambert, Kay Hooker, Sue Nicholson, Pat Nicholson, Greta Wil- kinson, Randy Smith, Dany Mock, Johnny Wiggins. Regular lunchroom workers are, TOP ROW: Dorothy Forrester, Doro- thy Clark, Evelyn Hunter, Frank Evans, Connie Orr, Gertrude Richardson, Luwena Thompson. Students used to seeing the janitorial staff working may have difficulty recognizing them in a rare moment of idleness. Dressed in fresh uni- forms, they are Wilson Bethea, George Gare, Euli Belle Wil- liams, Ruby Smith. 116 Welcome Break in Routine What time do we go to lunch? Where's Mr. Horn? With questions like these and a subdued rustle of purses and lunches, students each day await the knock on the door and the magic word lunch! They look forward to the lunch period for more than one reason. Not only is it the time for the noon meal, but it also provides a welcome break in the daily routine. It is a time for visiting, flirting. and just relaxing. Preparation for this meal begins in the morning and does not end until all the students have been served. In this phase of the work, the lunchroom staff enlists the aid of several students. Work also begins early for the custodial staff. Cleaning the school keeps them busy until long after the students have left. Mrs. Jim Hunt, lunchroom supervisor, makes out the weekly lunchroom menus to be sent to Atlanta, where they must be ap- proved by a central com- mittee. 117 Class Unity Is Harmony Class unity is the resolution of a keen competitive spirit and a natural cooperative attitude. It is the echo of companionship and youthful compatibility, the voluntary accord of a distinctly divided but not separated whole. It is a feeling of lasting individuality mixed with the momentary pleasure of just being part of the crowd. Class unity is harmony. Educational relations make the strongest ties. Cecil John Rhodes Joey Davis Gene Odom 120 Character, Leadership, Scholarship . . . Throughout the school year students are given chances to voice their opinions and choose their representatives. Once a year the teachers express their opinions by naming those senior boys and girls who, they believe, are the top ten in the class. This year the top ten seniors stand out not only in the school but also in their homes and in the community. While each of them excels in scholar- ship, these students also exemplify other attributes of cooperation, dependability, character, and lead- ership. Beyond the classroom they fill varied positions: captain of the basketball team, youth-week pastor. Boy Scout leader, SANDSPUR editor, OUTLOOK editor, Sunday-school teacher, captain of the cheer- leaders, and clerk in a teenage clothing store. They have been pictured in surroundings familiar to their teachers, to their friends, and to them- selves.

During these excursions they led the underclassmen in extra-curricular as well as in scholastic activities. They took trips to football games, both at home and out-of-town, attended Homecoming activities, traveled to prospective colleges, and flocked to special senior events such as the junior-senior dance and the senior play. And every day they went to classes and to the library. For some the goal was excellence in scholar- ship; for all there were visions of diplomas and caps and gowns. As they journeyed a feeling of fun and comradeship lightened the hard places and gave them a sense of class unity. Leading the class were Betty Potts, president; Larry Harrell, vice-president; Randy Smith, secretary; and Jane Mixer, treasurer. Just to prove their agility—and just for fun—the senior class officers walk the pipe over Mile Branch in the park. 124 ItLofy @ tts Virginia Anderson David Andrews Ed Arnold Page Ashcom Mark Bargeron Kay Barker Sammy Barker Tommy Barr Fred Baugh Diann Bazemore Jo Ann Beck Julia Becton 125 Excitement, Enthusiasm Veronica Bennett Donna Blanton Lynn Blanton 126 Linda Blase Betty Boyette Billy Bray Highlight Senior Marches Doris Brown Larry Buchwald Jimmy Buckner Barbara Burch Butch Burgsteiner Jeanie Byrd Sandra Cartee Jimmy Carter Pam Carter Pat Carter Bill Castleberry Bobbie Catoe 127 Donna Chalifour Bob Chapman Wayne Childree Ansel Clark Walter Clary Sharon Cole Jerry Coleman Lyndal Colson John Cooke One of the happiest journeys taken by seniors during their memorable year is the walk off the football field after a victory.

Infused with the desire to become active, well- rounded citizens, they undertook the study of dif- ficult subjects and the direction of extra-curricular events. Realizing that a mature person is well-informed, juniors delved into United States history and tackled footnotes in English III term papers. Geometry's theorems and physics' theories challenged the mathe- matical minds. Numerous projects stimulated individual initiative. To finance the Junior-Senior Dance, their biggest un- dertaking, the junior class entirely planned and di- rected the annual Miss VHS beauty contest. Juniors gained experience in leadership by hold- ing positions of trust in clubs and organizations. Officers chosen to lead the class were Kenny Bounds, president; Stan Christian, vice-president; Carol Clary, secretary; and Lee Langdale, treasurer. Mr. Mike Rogers served as class sponsor. Radiant smiles and a friendly wave characterize junior class officers. 146 Larry Allen Jean Anderson Dave Andrews Andy Ashley Harry Austen Jeanne Baca Brenda Bailey Nickey Balanis Dale Ballard Mardi Barnes Sandy Barnes Barbara Barrett Betty Gene Beck Emerson Bell Claudia Bennett Jerry Bennett Sandy Bishop Mike Bland Sharon Bland Kenny Bounds David Brandon Tommy Braswell Forrest Bridges Robert Bryan 147 Linda Burdette Tommy Burroughs Sharon Calhoun Vivian Carter Cornelia Cauthan Renee Chism Stan Christian Wesley Christie Jerrie Clark Responsible in Carol Clary Elaine Clements Kenny Clifton Jimmy Clyatt Sandy Cofield Stephen Coleman Larry Colson Mickey Copeland D � i m 148 Attitude Shown Juniors' Driving Don Corbett Paul Cowart Ty Murphy, DCT student, and Ronnie Wayne, who both work at garages, listen as Mr. Bob Harky, Indianapolis Speedway driver, talks with them about new model engines. ------- Denise Cross Glenn Davis Sue Davis Johnny Dean R.

Getting ac- quainted with upperclassmen, attending football games, and after game dances made this transi- tion enjoyable. They eagerly faced such hard subjects as Al- gebra II, Latin, and college biology, and felt that no club could function without them. Leading the sophomores were Sandy Hicks, president; Gretchen McCoy, vice-president; Jody Slocum, treasurer; and Rhett Dawson, secretary.

Disraeli Community and mental action unite to form a whole and to create an edifice in government, in feeling. Community encourages citizenship in two worlds—the realms of the mental and the terrestrial— continues the education of its youth, nourishes students with ideas and dreams. Schools teach young people to live, first in their limited bounds, and finally in the utmost environs of land and learning. Community and school integrate dreams. 173 Civic Groups, Much of Valdosta High School's support comes from community interests. And a great portion of the community's interest in the school is manifested in the activities of its civic clubs. Several clubs seek to strengthen the educational standards of the students by sponsoring essay contests. Among these are the UDC, Civitan, and Wymodausis clubs. Members of the DAR reward scholarship and leadership with special Best Citizen and Best History Student awards. Elks Leadership and Most Valuable Student contests single out academic and leadership talents on both local and state levels. The Kiwanis Club trains youth for civic leadership by sponsor- ing the Key Club. Athletic activities do not lack enthusiastic sup- port, either. Besides the encouragement of the football, basketball, and tennis boosters clubs, VHS athletics gain an extra boost from the knowledge that the American Legion is pulling for them. Foot- ball players are reminded of this by the bang of the American Legion cannon after each Valdosta touchdown.

BELOW: Legionaires Joe McMillan, Jack Hawthorne, and Buck Cowart announce a Valdosta touchdown by firing the Legion's miniature cannon. 174 Board of Education Support School Board of Education members Mrs. Melville Harris, Mr. Eddie Laws, Mr. Earl Mayo, Mr. Reuben Yancey, Dr. Ralph Thaxton, Mr. S.

The nine board members—two women and seven men—under the leadership of chairman Lamar New- bern, brought the school into the eyes of the com- munity. They called attention to problems such as nation dinner-meeting at Leila Ellis School. Members not present are Mrs. Christie Patterson and Dr. Frank Eldridge. overcrowding, inadequate physical education facili- ties, and high school marriages. They discussed the possible consolidation of Valdosta and Lowndes Coun- ty high schools and approved a plan for the gradual desegregation of Valdosta city schools. In addition to guiding the high school, the Board of Education works for the betterment of all Valdosta schools. They determine finances and policy of the city's educational establishments. Mr. Eddie Laws and Superintendent W. G. Nunn, who always attends board meetings, listen to comments on a matter of school policy. Boosters Widen School Support MR. AND MRS. EDDIE LAWS MR.

They rewarded excel- lence in scholarship and athletics. Many of them also purchased advertising space to promote the success of the annual. Several professional men, who do not advertise, either bought an- nuals or paid for space on the boosters’ page. Several enthusiastic supporters did both. 176 Students Gather at Barnes Wayne Childree, who works at BARNES after school, marks the price on a box while Jimmy Clyatt and Mardi Barnes have cokes.
