Volume 25 Valdosta High School Valdosta, Georgia SANDSPUR 1966 SANDSPUR Captures Moods Characteristic sounds of Valdosta High provide a background atmosphere against which students live, learn, and ... love. Ex- pressions of school hopes and heartaches set in motion vibrations which echo throughout the year. Offsetting the sounds of VHS, impressive silences complete the character of our school. Even empty halls and silent classrooms ex- emplify past and present failures and tri- umphs. By contrasting these sounds and silences, the SANDSPUR staff has endeavored to cap- ture the total image of Valdosta High School. By Recording . . . Community pages 170-197 Organizations pages 86-113 Classes pages 114-171 Solitude, Quietness Provide Thoughtful b Background for Learning Last minute reviewing before an im- portant exam, the security of finally re- ceiving that class ring, looking across the campus on a cold morning—these, and other experiences, silently develop the minds and personalities of students. These incidents, combined with shadows and records of the past, provide a heritage captured in rare moments of silence. 7 Laughing, Talking, Band practices, informal talks in the halls, pep rallies, slamming lockers, rattling lunchroom trays, shuffling feet, laughter, recitations—these create the familiar sounds of VHS. Together with the slang characteristic of the 1965-1966 year, they compose the symphony of the school. All (or 'Dosta stand up and holler, VHS students yell as they rumble the stands at the pep rally preceding the Albany game. 8 Yelling Distinguish Spirit of V.H.S. 9 UPPER LEFT: Away from school, Mr. Glenn re- laxes with his wife and son.

Glenn Builds a Winning Tradition As a teacher at VHS for ten years, Mr. William E. Glenn has built a winning tradition for the Dis- tributive Education Club. DE students have gained local, state, and national recognition. These honors have supplemented the school’s academic and athletic achievements. Besides innumerable local triumphs, the DE Club has eight times brought home the title of State DE Club-of the Year. Each year club representatives attend the National DE Convention in Chicago. There, under the guidance of Mr. Glenn, the local group has won an array of honors: Best DE Student in the Nation, Marilyn Ry- kard, 1962; Best DE Club in the Nation, 1961; two national offices; and first place in three national con- tests, speech and sales demonstration. But Mr. Glenn, while impressed by the hard work of the club he sponsors, rates these triumphs as sec- ondary to his role as a teacher. Although he comes in contact with only a limited number of seniors through DE, Mr. Glenn is well known to the upper- classmen as senior class sponsor. He supervises the Senior Day chapel program. Senior Day activities, the graduation banquet, and the senior class play. For his winning ways both as a DE coordinator and as a teacher, the seniors of 1966 voted to dedicate the yearbook to Mr. Glenn. II Although seldom seen together.

BRIDGES Principal MISS MARGUERITE FORD Guidance-Counselor MRS. BRYAN MATHIS Librarian 12 Trademark of Administrators—Friendship Combined With Authority Authoritative, permissive, and laissex-faire designate different forms of discipline. At Valdosta High School administrators combine the best features of all three philosophies to maintain authority while retaining the friendship of students. Miss Marguerite Ford, guidance counselor, assists Mr. Howard Bridges, principal, in directing impres- sionable young people. Besides aiding students in plan- ning for their careers, Miss Ford personally super- vises girls’ activities and acts as sponsor for the cheer- leaders. As principal, Mr. Bridges’ job is neverending. Even at home this mentor spends hours looking over grades and reading reports on school improvement. Although his position requires much paperwork, Mr. Bridges is often seen walking through the halls and talking to students and teachers. Acting, as city school superintendent, Mr. W. G. Nunn coordinates the curriculum and activities of all Valdosta schools. He acts as overseer for the smooth running of the school system. Without its library, VHS would not be accredited. Mrs. Bryan Mathis supervises this school facility. These administrators carry out their jobs with the help of three secretaries. Mrs. S. J. Glassman works for Miss Ford, while Mr. Bridges often calls on Mrs. W. W. Leonard and Mrs. W. D. Burgsteiner to handle various aspects of school business. Mrs. Burgsteiner talks with newcomers, Mrs. Leonard and Mrs. Glassman, before the busy routine of the secretaries' school day begins. MRS. S. J. GLASSMAN 13 Everyday Glimpses of Dosta Depicting a typical day—with its responsibilities, smiles, noises, and worries—random scenes tell the story of school days better than words. In four short years of learning, the sci- ence wing, the auditorium, and the band building become more than school. This setting forms a back- ground for a way of life. 14 Tell School Story Challenges Teachers, curriculum, students fused into a single working unit make a school. Teach- ers at VHS differ in age, sex, and years of experience, but fundamentally they are alike. Helpful, dedicated, patient, imaginative— these adjectives describe them. Curriculum includes the humanities—Eng- lish, art, history, foreign language—math, the sciences, and commercial courses. While using this curriculum, teachers mold the lives oi students who come from the four- corners of the globe. In later years literate citizens, businessmen, service men, and professors will remember the influence of teachers long after they have forgotten subject matter. Of Curriculum MRS. CHARLES WORSTALL Robert Brass, junior Algebra III and trigonometry student, listens while his classmate Bill Sikes demonstrates the use of the slide rule. 18 Before the tardy bell rings, Greg Wolinski, senior, stops in Mrs. Charles Worstall’s room for help in solving a Math V problem. Mrs. Florence McMahon, student teacher, uses the blackboard to emphasize her explanation. Squares, Rectangles, Cones, Parabolas Give Reality to Math Study How exciting is a shadow? To the � o- mantically inclined, it may suggest a moonlit night. But to the mathematically minded, a shadow is shape, form, distance, a measuring point. All math classes at VHS familiarize stu- dents with the significance of certain forms. General math courses—Algebra I, Algebra II, plane geometry, and business math—introduce interesting shapes such as cones. In the advanced math classes, Algebra III and trigonometry, and Math V, students work with more intricate shapes, the hyperbola, parabola and ellipse. They relate these unfa- miliar words with the familiar curve of a baseball and the arc of a rocket. By learning to measure and recognize va- ried shapes, students develop an increased awareness of the world about them and strengthen their reasoning powers. Amelia Castrinos, sophomore, and Laura Cole, junior, put the fin- ishing touches to a bulletin boqrd for Mrs. W. R. McClure's plane geometry class. Science Channels Curiosity Since primitive times, curiosity has spurred man on to a greater understanding of his universe. This thirst for knowledge was a prevailing force in the discoveries, of Pasteur, of Bacon, and of Pierre and Madame Curie. Because of his inquisitiveness, Francis Bacon dis- covered the preservative qualities of ice; Pasteur wondered about possible immunization for rabies and discovered a cure for hydrophobia; and Pierre and Marie Curie, while investigating the properties of ura- nium and its ores, discovered radium. Science teachers try to channel curiosity as a learn- ing tool 'for their students through projects and out- side research. Projects, which must be turned in at the end of the first semester, range from the simple— to the complex. While some boys and girls work on elementary problems such as the effect of detergents on plants, others, more ambitious, delve into the effects of alco- hol and sulphur on the internal organs and mentality of white mice. These problems require students to question theories and use intelligence in forming con- clusions. Four science courses offered at VHS include general biology, college biology, physics, and chemistry. MRS. GRADY MASSEY Poor little frog gives his all for science! David Bennett, junior, demonstrates correct dissecting procedure while sopho- more Sally Garner watches. 20 Mr. Johnny B. Roland, general biology teacher, adjusts the purifier on his aquarium. MR. JULIAN LeFILES Chemistry students Norman Sainz, Kenny Norton, and Sally Shingler prepare an apparatus to determine centri- fugal force. 21 Perching on a stool behind his desk, Mr. Jimmy Copeland, U.S. history teacher, surveys his class with a threatening frown which his students know is false. r MRS. WILLIAM WISENBAKER MRS. HERCHEL HAMILL Students compare notes as they admire the different social studies projects. After being judged at VHS, some of these projects were sent on to further competition. 22 History Previews Future Events MR. JAMES COPELAND For students living in an era when space- ships circle the globe at 17,000 miles an hour, social studies classes must be geared for the future. Through use of the American Observer, a weekly newspaper containing cur- rent events, history students read about me- chanical devices of the future—even such things as flying cars. But before they can gain perception of the future, boys and girls must study ancient civi- lizations. Thorough analysis of the causes of their downfalls can reveal what is to come if individuals continue to repeat the mistakes which brought about the destruction of Per- sia, Babylon, Greece, and Rome. After studying ancient history, social studies classes also delve into history in the making. This year they participated in the social sci- ence fair by entering projects reflecting the past, present, and future. Through map study, pupils readily visualize relationships between various countries and their location in respect to each other. They learn about present day problems by reading sections of the daily newspapers. Four social studies classes at VHS include United States history, world history, Bible, and economics. Junior history students Bob Hatch and Elissa Landey look at scientific magazine articles which show trends history is taking. MR. CHARLES GREENE MRS. BILL ADAMS 23 Mrs. Glenn Sheppard, junior English teacher, shows Priscilla Wilson how to use the composition check list in correcting theme errors. English MRS. JACKIE CREWS MRS. JOHN MASSEY MRS. GLENN SHEPPARD MRS. HARRY WOL1NSKI 24 Classes Develop Learning Skills English classes provide students with the tools needed for success in all other subjects. They develop skills in reading, writing, listening, thinking, and un- derstanding. Reading is of importance in science and history courses. Without the ability to read efficiently, stu- dents cannot understand daily assignments, parallel readings and newspapers. Even in foreign languages writing is needed for translations, term projects, and reports. In math and science classes, straight thinking, un- derstanding, and listening comprise most important fundamentals for students to use in reasoning out problems. Expository themes teach students to express them- selves in exact language, while research papers require them to draw on their own knowledge and to orga- nize and blend this material with facts gathered from different sources. MRS. OLIVER GOOGE One of the many activities of junior English classes is reading Ethan Frome. Jimmy Patten, Steve Spurlock, Nita Boyle, Rosemary Lindauer, and Montine Bonner prove that required reading can be fun. 25 Language Classes Landmarks MRS. CLYDE CONNELL Edsel Copeland, French II student, puts the finishing touches on his semester project, a model of the Eiffel Tower. Edsel spent eighty hours building this in- tricate structure. MR. VERLIN GROVES MRS. A. C. WISENBAKER Statue of Liberty—Big Ben—the Alhambra—the Colosseum—the Eiffel Tower—every country has its distinctive landmarks. In the same manner, each language has its peculiar vocabulary, enunciations, and meanings. Students in foreign language classes at VHS learn these landmarks, both geographic and linguistic, of Spanish, French, and Latin. They learn the meanings of words, grammar, and correct spelling. Taking part in skits and conversations helps them become more fluent in speech and more accurate in pronunciation. In Latin, students read Caesar, Sallust, and Cicero. From these works, they learn of the almost forgotten lore of the Romans and of the daily lives of the Latin speaking peoples. Those who study French and Spanish learn something of the history, cultures, cus- toms, and social lives of the people speaking these languages. From the first Bonjour! or buenos dias! to the last vale! students work their way from one challenging landmark to another. They do not leave these classes as accomplished linguists, but they do ex- plore and come away with some appreciation and understanding of other peoples and other times. 26 Various Media Challenge Art Classes Chalk, fabric, oils, water colors— these media are available for Mrs. Mar- sha Quarterman’s art students. With chalk they emphasize line in landscapes, portraits, and still lifes. Water colors and oils help students obtain variety in shades and designs. Collages-—patterns made from fabric, match boxes, leaves, and construction paper—accentuate creativity. Utilizing these materials, students construct pic- tures in keeping with modem themes. For the study of lettering and calli- graphy, they use pen and India ink. They also highlight‘certain areas in water colors with ink. Mrs. Quarterman, who guides students in the understanding of these materials, teaches two art classes at VHS and then goes to junior high where she teaches three classes. Julie Groover, senior, helps Mrs. Marsha Quarterman gather supplies before first period art class begins. 27 MRS. MARSHA QUARTERMAN MR. FRANK BUTENSCHON Band and glee club classes, under the direction of Mr. Frank Butenschon, furnished a musical back- ground at VHS. At pep rallies, football games, and basketball games, the band bolstered enthusiasm. As well as light pieces, band and glee club members also learned and presented classical music. They rep- resented the school at state and local festivals. Warren Johnson, trumpet player, made All-State Band, and the band as a whole received a superior rating. Parades and other community functions gave the public an opportunity to see the school’s musical pro- gram in action. 28 Music Helps Relieve Tensions Like the band, the choral group went from practice sessions cises, below, the group sings “One World.

WILLIAM GLENN To high school students the work-a-day world be- yond their classrooms is a glittering challenge. It represents a means of asserting newly-realized young adulthood and of earning money for multiplying teen- age expenses. While most students postpone actual contact with this tvorld until after they finish their education, oth- ers actively plunge into the commercial fray or pre- pare themselves for jobs in anticipation of gradua- tion. Distributive education and diversified cooperative training classes give boys and girls opportunities to work while still in school. Those students desiring specialized training for busi- ness take various commercial courses—typing, book- keeping, shorthand, business math, and business Eng- lish. 30 MR. JAMES HORN Alice Jordan, senior DE student arranges toys at Playland, where she works after school. MISS SARAH DEAN ADAMS Correct finger position and knowledge of the keyboard are vital parts of Typing I and II. 31 Before she solos, Nancy Nutt, junior, receives last minute instructions from her driver’s ed teacher Mr. Joe Wilson. Enrollment for Driver's Ed Classes Increases “I’m sorry but you’ll have to wait until next se- mester or next year.” This statement accentuates the problem facing many underclassmen who want to take driver’s education but are unable to do so because of over-crowded classrooms. These crowded classes re- veal the growing popularity of this course and the teenagers feeling that knowing how to drive well is a must. But as irking as the delay in taking driver training seems, many students realize that it is better to post- pone this class until the junior year. At this time most of them are sixteen—old enough to take the state drivers’ test and receive licenses as qualified, safe drivers. After passing this course, which includes study of safety regulations, driving rules and of the basic mechanism of cars, students qualify for lower insur- ance rates. 32 Dishwashing, Budget Making Taught MRS. MAURICE THOMPSON Home economics gives girls a chance to get the true feel of homemaking—from washing dishes to making budgets. Home Ec students learn sewing and cooking skills beneficial now as well as in the future. They learn not only how to sew but also how to recognize types of material. Studying color harmony prepares them for the time when they will have to decorate their own homes. To improve sewing skills, they learn the different machine parts. In cooking classes, they plan well- balanced meals and study proper table setting and nutritional values of foods. Boys get into the act through the class in economics and home living, a new course at VHS. They plan budgets, learn how to fill out income tax forms, and how to buy insurance, stocks, and bonds. Both of these courses prepare students for solving personal and economical problems which they face now and will face in the future. MRS. JIM BAINS 33 Girls find that dishwashing is not such a chore when they learn correct procedures. Betty Adams, dressed as a clown, dives over several classmates during the Girls’ P.E. chapel program. k MRS. HERMAN JOHNSON Ginger Schroer practices high jumping for the annual track meet. 34 Physical Exercise Restores Vigor Rhett Dawson, Kenny Rounds, Billy Grondahl, Bobby King, and Jay Hinkson goof-off during sixth period P.E. class. Studying is a vigorous exercise that leaves the body limp and the brain drained. To compensate for this physical loss, many boys and girls look forward every day to P.E. classes. By means of both indoor and outdoor sports, they have a chance to renew vigor and to develop physical agility and acquire valuable lessons in group coopera- tion through competition in team sports. Girls concentrate on playing tennis, croquet, speed- ball and soccer; they also study the background and rules for each of these sports. Six weeks of dancing and tumbling help to improve coordination and muscle tone. Participation in the national physical fitness pro- gram is another major activity engaged in by girls. Exercises included in this program are sit-ups, pull- ups, softball throws, and track events. Boys strive for physical fitness by playing touch football, tennis, baseball, basketball, and soccer. They also do grass drills and lift weights. COACH WRIGHT BAZEMORE 35 judiudjpxg Preparing for the Miss VHS Beauty Pag- eant, participating in chapel programs every Friday, going to the Senior Class Banquet before the Junior-Senior Dance—all add at- mosphere to school life. These and other memorial events at VHS aid in developing minds and characters of students and teachers. Horizons are extended and outlooks on life are brightened by the experience of being a part of various activi- ties. Through the fun of events, contacts are made—friendships strengthened. Teachers and students alike enjoy informal fellowship while working on floats for the annual Homecom- ing Parade. Laughter, smiles, and tears min- gle in shared excitement. Even though it is not possible for every student to participate actively in special events, being a spectator also brings a warmth and sense of school spirit. During Events Imitating a frightened child of four—who almost lo9t her daisies—Carol Stemhridge wins the applause of the audience with her reading of “Daisie’s Faith.” 38 With open mouths and alert faces, sophomores Priscilla Wilson, Carol Blalock, and Paula Buchner—the Folk Three—harmonize as they sing “Four Strong Winds.” Sophomores Sound Off in Chapel Sophomore Spotlight began to the -blaring of a combo. Music furnished by the Impacts put the audi- ence in a festive mood and set the stage for the acts to follow. Shaking knees and nervous voices kept time with strumming guitars and picking banjos as the un- derclassmen entertained the student body. Upperclassmen greeted this talent review with clap- ping hands, gay laughter, and tapping feet. Their en- thusiasm officially welcomed the sophomores into the student body. Sponsored by the Student Council for the second year, Sophomore Spotlight gave an overall view of the variety of talents found in the entering class. While only twelve sophomores performed, they were repre- sentative of their entire group. Senior Jack Gall and the Impacts, consisting of sophomores Paul Valentine, Bud Thomas, and Harris Mathis, open the show with a burst of rhythm. Mother Goose Characters Boost SANDSPUR Sales Three little pigs, TOP TO BOTTOM: Gunther Pig (Johnny Gunter), Toofus Pig Kenny Clifton), and Pudgy Pig (Bobby King) greet the audience with shy smiles. Climaxing two weeks of hectic campaigning, the SANDSPUR Chapel Program boosted yearbook sales over the 500 mark, the goal which had to be reached before the staff could begin working. Portraying the parts of Mother Goose characters, staff members and other enthusiastic students rol- licked through the antics of familiar nursery stories. After the three little pigs, Sleeping Beauty, and Red Riding Hood had urged students to buy SAND- SPURS, Mother Goose, Becky Giddens, called all the children to a birthday party honoring Mr. How- ard Bridges, principal. Students showed their appreciation of the show by buying annuals. Posters, announcements, and telephone calls reminded procrastinators to bring their money. By the end of the drive, 535 students, faculty, and friends had subscribed. Robert Strom, the big had wolf, strolls nonchalantly on stage and growls threateningly at the three little pigs. 40 Led by the participants in the SANDSPUR Chapel Pro- gram, the VHS student body sings “Happy Birthday” to Mr. Bridges. Emerson Bell gaily tosses his flowered garter as Nancy Scruggs, Becky Ciddens, R. S. DeLoach, and Jimmy Patten blast out the SANDSPUR staff’s version of “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me.” 41 Fun, Formality Accent Homecoming Theme . . Teresa Rodgers. Miss VHS 1965, and Kay Hooker, Miss Flame, chat while waiting for their cues during the Home- coming Chapel program. In the background, Paula Buch- ner, sophomore balladeer, glances up just as Mr. Book- man’s camera flashes. Once Upon a Time ONCE UPON A TIME—in the tradition of fairy tales and make believe—Valdosta High School cele- brated the week of October 18-23 as Homecoming. For the Friday chapel program sponsored by the cheerleaders, upperclassmen shed their dignity to por- tray familiar childhood characters and to ridicule all serious events. That afternoon each school club en- tered a float carrying out the same theme. Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater graced the winning float pre- pared by the Future Teachers of America and the Future Homemakers. Prior to these events, VHS students observed tra- ditional color days, chose a king and queen to preside over the festivities, yelled around a bonfire on Thurs- day night, and paraded with shirttails flapping. Members of the football team chose Miss Flame, Kay Hooker, who reigned at the bonfire and read the prophecy of victory over Moultrie. Guarded by the ’Cat mascot, Judy Grondahl, members of the Queen Nancy Scruggs and King Jimmy Giddens, seniors; Homecoming Court, Mark Cochran and Leigh Pendleton, Susan Shenton and Leland Middlebrooks, juniors; sit on the sophomores; R. S. DeLoach and Sharon Lincoln, seniors; sidelines and watch the halftime show. 42 After their coronation. King and Queen Jimmy Giddens and Nancy Scruggs lead out as the band plays “Once Upon A Time,” the theme song of the Homecoming Dance. Victory Over Moultrie Climaxes Festive Week But there was no pretense when the ’Cats began playing Friday night. From the frivolity of fairy tales, the atmosphere changed to competitive reality when the team romped to victory over the Moultrie Packers. Although the score was 13-7 at halftime, with Coach Bazemore’s pep talk, the students’ loud yelling, and the team’s determination, the ’Cats rebounded in the second half with a winning score of 27-19 over the Packers. Saturday night at the Mathis Auditorium, scene of the Homecoming Dance, students celebrated the vic- tory. They returned to the theme of the week, “Once Upon a Time,” by using decorations which gave the auditorium the appearance of a large castle. Under the supervision of Pat Taylor, senior members of the Student Council drew and painted colorful figures of fairy tale characters to brighten the walls. By dancing to the music of the Jaguars, students released the nervous energy stimulated by the week’s activities. Judy Grondahl, Cat Mascot, rushes in and shakes hands with fore Kenny Bounds, co-captain of the winning 'Cats, has a Jerry Weldon and Marvin Knox of the Moultrie Packers be- chance to congratulate them on a game well played. 44 Dancers feet shuffle in slow rhythm while the upper parts of bodies gyrate and jerk to the music. their Mary Ann Morgenthalcr has trouble with her oversized football uniform as Burt Tillman, Lee Langdale, and Stan Christian rehearse in the background before going on stage at Homecoming Chapel. Homecoming attendants, Leigh Pendleton, Sharon Lincoln, Leland Middlebrooks, R. S. DcLoach, Susan Shcnton, and Mark Cochran, beam their approval as Mr. Bridges crowns Queen Nancy Scruggs, King Jimmy Ciddens and Linda McLaurin, senior Student Council member, watches the corona- tion. 45 Though taken earlier in the year, this picture is characteristic of the gusto with which students sang Christinas carols. Congested streets, crowded stores, busy shoppers, and harried merchants characterize the traditional Christmas rush in any town. At Valdosta High School the Christmas spirit envelopes everyone, from the lowliest sophomore to Mr. Howard Bridg- es, principal. Many students begin work at Christmas jobs in local firms. Although some of these teenagers worry about having enough money to buy Christmas pres- ents or about getting their homework done after they have worked from 3:30 to 9:00; nevertheless, they take time to give unselfishly to the annual food drive- for underpriviledged families, and they also sandwich into their busy schedules time to practice for the Christmas chapel program. Sophomores, as this year’s winners of the food drive, proudly marched into the auditorium to watch Home for Christmas, a one-act play staged by members of the Student Council. Bethea then sang “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” as he does every Christmas. Presentation of gifts to members of the administration and staff followed the play; the traditional singing of carols closed the yearly festivities. Christmas Spirit Invades, Captures VHS Grateful smiles express the feelings of Wilson Bethea, Ruby Smith, and Euli Belle Williams as Mr. Howard Bridges presents them with checks. For these gifts students collected money in their home rooms. Sis Watson, junior, turns her back on the sophomore boxes and seems to be answering the question “Who’s ahead?” Meanwhile, David Brandon and Greta Wilkinson are intent on raising the level in the seniors’ box. Emerson Bell, portraying Johnny, is greeted with a hug by Julie, Linda McLaurin. Playing the part of the father is Stan Christian, who is waiting his turn to welcome Johnny, his oldest son, home for Christ- mas. During the Christmas season this year the downtown streets were decorated with tinsel, Christmas trees, bells, and candles suspended from light posts. At the close of each school day, students hurried downtown either to shop er to work. 47 Japanese Setting Displays Beauties Putting aside sweaters, skirts, and loafers for one night, March 4, twenty-five senior girls and twenty- five junior girls became Japanese beauties in the set- ting of a Japanese garden. Although the rustling of Kimonos was not heard, the crinkling of chiffon and satin—along with light blue lights, cherry blossoms, and lanterns—heightened the illusion of being in Japan. Displaying poise and charm, the contestants paraded before the audience and judges to piano music ren- dered by Nita Hoyle. When Jody Slocum, junior clhss officer and master of ceremonies, called number 17, Linda Garrett, junior, stepped onto stage to be crowned Miss Valdosta High School of 1966. Linda Reddick and Kay Blanton, two other juniors, took second and third places. Under the guidance of Mr. Mike Rogers and the junior class officers, the beauty contest was held for the first time at the new Mathis City Auditorium. Linda Garrett bursts into tears while Teresa Rodgers, Miss VHS of 1965, crowns her. Jody Slocum and Laura Cole, junior class officers, present roses and a trophy. After regaining their composure, the top ten finalists proud- Linda Garrett. Miss VHS; Nina Anderson; Jean Anderson; ly face the audience. They are Linda Reddick, first runner.- Ann Klylhe; Beth Dugger; and Kay Blanton, second run- up; Sharon Lincoln; Laura Lynn McCorkle; Sis Watson; ner-up. a Cindy Wade, dressed as a cowgirl, entertains the spectators with her version of “I Can’t Say No.” The Yard-Lan Singers, Lee Langdale, Charlotte Cunningham and Burt Tillman, strum and sing their way to second place. Beta Revue In a song and dance routine Linda Reddick sings “Wouldn’t It Be Lovely?” and captures third place. 50 Displays Talents of Young Stars Stan Christian, first place winner, entrails the audience with his rendition of “Deep Purple.’ In an annual affair, the Beta Club as- sembles and displays the talents of class- mates. Young'stars of VHS—the winners—pre- sented a jazz combo, a song and dance routine, a folk-song medley, and a piano solo. Stan Christian, senior, gave an al- most professional polish to the show with his piano arrangement. Readings, a twirling performance, mod- ern jazz dances, and vocal solos completed the program which a packed audience of friends and relatives witnessed. Sixteen varied acts comprised the show. In order to take part in this revue, stu- dents had to audition before Mrs. Charles Worstall, Beta Club advisor. Becky Gid- dens, club president, served as master of ceremonies. Ivey Plair and Buck Paulson provided an entertaining drum duet during intermission. Working behind the scenes, Ivey Plair checks the program to prepare for the upcoming acts. 51 Junior-Senior Recalls Roaring Twenties Using the Roaring Twenties as a theme, juniors hon- ored the seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Dance. For this event decorations reminiscent of the flapper era transformed the usually sedate J. E. Mathis Audi- torium into a world of Stutz roadsters, Charleston dancers, and balloons. Underclassmen dressed in appropriate outfits of this particular decade served refreshments. This gala evening, April 16, began for the seniors at 6:30 at their Senior Banquet. Mr. Nunn and Mr. Bridges, school superintendent and principal, their wives, and the senior teachers were honored guests. Mr. Tommy Tart, a VHS alumnus, addressed the seniors and their dates. Mr. Tart, a graduate of the University of Florida, is now a student of the Stetson University Law School. As tokens of remembrances of the banquet, senior girls received charms, each with a gold V on a black background, and the senior boys received black and gold key chains. While dancing to the music of Ivey’s League, Bill De- Coudres and Cindy Wade talk to Richard Vann and Charlotte Cunningham. 52 Preceding the Junior-Senior Dance, seniors and their dates enjoy the Senior Banquet at Minchew’s Restaurant. Frug, Watusi, Jerk—you name it—the juniors and seniors dance it. 53 Jay Hingson, Sergeant Chuck Vincent, watches tensely as his friend Lieutenant William Seawright, played by Ned Nutt, con- gratulates Albert Kummer, Bobby King, on his engagement. Ginger Schroer, Ruth Wilkins, shares the sergeant’s amazement, for she is engaged to both Seawright and Kummer. “My candle burns at both ends; It shall not last the night,” quotes Miriam Wilk- ins, Sally Shingler, who has been tasting from her father’s bar. Upstage, downstage, blocking, cues—these terms of the dramatic world came alive to sen- iors participating in the annual class play. Start- ing with complete ignorance of theatrical know- how, approximately twenty students, under the direction of Mr. James Copeland and Mrs. Virginia Adams, learned the work involved in putting on a stage production, Dear Ruth. Another very valuable lesson learned by the seniors was that the success of the play de- pends generally on front-stage and backstage workers. Pat Taylor, Harry Austin, and Linda McLaurin worked with the play’s directors from January until show night—April 7. With the aid of make-up, realistic props, and the traditional “break-a-leg” goodluck omen— the Senior Class Play raised enough money to finance the Senior Banquet and Senior Day. Among the featured players were Ann Vickery, Mardi Barnes, Sally Shingler, Emerson Bell, Ginger Schroer, Ned Nutt, Bobby King, Denise Cross, Jay Hingson, and Doug Samuels. Judge Harry Wilkins, Emerson Bell, upbraids his younger daughter, 54 Miriam, after he learns that she has misled Lieutenant Seawright. Seniors Enjoy Special Privileges With child-like happiness, seniors enjoyed the antics of their fellow classmates on Senior Day. At the beginning of third period the seniors began this special day by having a rousing chapel program based on the current theme, “Where the Action Is.” Included in the program were the class his- tory, prophecy, last will and • testament, the class song and poem, and numerous skits, take- offs, and jokes—plus Lee Langdale and Denise Cross as go-go girls. Realizing that a four year goal was draw- ing near, the seniors cast off their dignity and enjoyed the foolishness. After the pro- gram, while underclassmen filed out of assembly and returned to their classwork, the seniors danced on stage to the music of an impromptu band composed of seniors. For the remainder of the day seniors wer free to do as they wished, and—needless to say—none remained at school. Most of them braved cloudy, drizzly weather to enjoy a pic- nic, skiing, and swimming at Twin Lakes. Sev- eral non-school sponsored dances and parties added to the holiday atmosphere. Sponsored by the senior class officers, the day’s activities were delightful fun. Among those who helped make the seniors’ chapel a success were Sharon Lincoln, Julie Grover, Becky Giddens, Janet Odom, Helen Lawson, and Pat Taylor. According to the senior class prophecy, Phyllis Diller, Judy Futch, will be campaign manager when Linda McLaurin runs for the office of President of the United States. In a pantomime of their football halftime shows the Marchin’ Cats give an example of mass confusion. Climax of Achievements — Honors Day Emerson Bell, 1965-1966 Best All Round Student, receives a bond from school superintendent, Mr. W. G. Nunn, handshake, hearty congratulations, a medal, and a savings 56 When he reached up to shake hands with Superintendent W. G. Nunn, Emerson Bell, Best All Round Student, symbolized the ef- forts of every student to earn the applause of parents, community, and school. As one by one they marched to the front of the auditorium to receive awards, students heard this echoing applause and shared it with their parents, special guests on Honors Day. Several civic clubs participated in the pro- gram. Philip Ashcom, Brenda Evans, and Deb- orah Hall won trips to Boys’ and Girls’ State, sponsored by the American Legion and its Auxiliary. Mardi Barnes received the Best Cit- izenship award, given by the Daughters of the American Revolution. For leadership and schol- arship, the Elks Club recognized Stan Christ- ian, Linda McLaurin, Emerson Bell, Sally Shing-. ler, Becky Giddens, and Johnny Dean. Linda McLaurin and Pat Taylor received scholarships given by the Beta Club and Key Club. For outstanding gridiron play, Glenn Davis, Rliett Dawson, Robert Strom, Bill Parramore, Bobby King, Kenny Bounds, and Jimmy Mil- ler received special recognition. In basketball, Kathy Wisenbaker and Becky Giddens starred. Announcement of the Best All Round Stu- dent award climaxed the program. To conclude the program, Mr. W. H. Bridges, principal, read the names of the twenty-four senior honor graduates who had averages of 90 or better. Third honor graduate was Stan Christian (94.9), second was Johnny Dean (95.1), and first honor graduate was Peggy Riggle (95.6). “To: VHS, From: Seniors 1966,” reads the sign on the new podium being presented by senior class president, Sally Shingler, and class treasurer, Linda McLaurin. Honor graduates of the Class of ’66 included, BOTTOM ROW: Carol Clary, Carol King, Sally Shingler, Becky Giddens, Mardi Barnes, Linda McLaurin, Ginger Schroer. SECOND ROW: Julie Groover, Paula Greer, Sharon Lincoln, Kathy Wisenbaker, Peggy Riggle, Janet Odom, Betty Gene Beck, Claudette Pearce. THIRD ROW: Emerson Bell, Johnny Dean, Ed Mathis, Elliot Karlip, Kenny Bounds, Greg Wolinski, Robert Strom, and Stan Christian. 57 Seniors Accept Hands reached out to grasp envelopes encasing black and gold diplomas. And with the acceptance of these symbols of graduation, students realized that they were also accepting challenges: college for some; for others marriage or jobs. In his Baccalaureate sermon the night before the graduation exercises, the Reverend Frank King, pas- tor of the First Presbyterian Church, advised the seniors to “lengthen their ropes and strengthen their stakes.” Main speaker for the graduation exercises was Dr. J. Ralph Thaxton. Retiring as president of Valdosta State College, Dr. Thaxton has served on the City Board of Education for many years. Johnny Dean and Emerson Bell, student speakers chosen by their fellow honor graduates, delivered the salutatory and valedictory speeches. While Johnny called on the graduating seniors to remember their high school days, Emerson challenged them with the admonition that “we’ve now reached the foothills; the mountains are in view.” 58 Challenges . . . “High school is a time when memories are made declares Johnny Dean in his salutatory address. 59 College, Diplomas, waiting to. be claimed, symbolize the fulfillment of twelve years of education. 60 Marriage, Jobs Mr. W. G. Nunn, school superintendent, con- gratulates Reverend Frank King on his Bac- calaureate sermon. Mr. Howard Bridges, principal, waits to shake Reverend King’s hand. Dr. J. Ralph Thaxton challenges each member of the graduating class to be examples of the cultured gentleman. 0 k 61 Achievements Thrills of victory, agonies of defeat, the drama of human competition—these emotions are directly connected to varsity athletics. With only a few points separating defeat and victory, heartbreak and happiness, the teams of 1965-’66 aroused contrasting emotions in the student body. Starting the year off in fine style, the foot- ball team won the State AAA Championship. After a long, hard season and determined team effort, the football athletes added three more trophies to the already bulging trophy case. In basketball, VHS tasted the bitter pill of defeat. Both boys’ and girls’ teams brought cred- it to the school, but the balance of success and defeat was not in their favor. Although victory eluded VHS, thfe overall season record was sub- stantial with the girls’ winning third place in Region 1-AAA. Next came the activities of baseball, track, and tennis. Varsity players showed their skills on the diamond, cinder path, and on the courts. In a rebuilding year, the baseball team showed potential and determination. As always, the ten- nis teams put the name of VHS on the victory lines. Although facilities are lacking for track and field sports, several outstanding competitors emerged. Even though it is impossible for all students to compete in varsity athletics, every classmate has a part in the action. From sideline fans to team managers, there is a definite place for everyone.

After crushing traditional rival Waycross, 33-0, in the season opener, the Wildcats set their sights for the region AAA crown. They soon realized they could be more ambitious. For, propelled by the spirit of the student body and tremendous support from the townspeople, the ’Cats won eleven of their twelve games, losing only to a fired-up Willingham team. Both school and city-wide pep rallies played an important role in these wins. In the VHS gym the cheerleaders led the entire student body in cheers. Touchdown Club members sponsored community pep rallies at which the coaches, captains of the team, and even the mayor encouraged the people of the town to support the ’Cats. This club also promoted the annual pre-season train- ing camp at the 4� H Club at Twin Lakes and honored the back and lineman of the week after each game. With this support, plus team effort, a never-give-up attitude, and tireless coaching, the Wildcats won the slate crown. Excitement, Tension Mark Each Game As the band plays the Wildcat “Fite Song,” the cheerleaders lead the team on the field. 66 Coach Charles Greene gives instructions to the offensive unit as the defensive team does the work on the field. fl Tf i Jimmy Clyatt returns punt deep into Baker territory in first home game of the season. Long passes, goal line stands, and thrilling punt returns kept the fans on the edge of their seats throughout the season. No matter what the score or which team had the ball, Wildcat enthusiasm never lagged. Attendances at each game showed why Valdosta has been called “The Football Town.” Ardent fans supported the Cats at both home and out of town games. At home games the fans numbered around 6,000. At out-of-town games they averaged around l.ooo. Tension of game is reflected in face of manager Ed Puckett. 67 Cats Gain State, National Grid Recognition Robert Strom, recipient of the Valdosta Touchdown Club’s “Best Defensive Back award, bats down a pass intended for a Moultrie end. Wildcat quarterback Clenn Davis shows form that helped him set a new region total offense record. Several members of the Wild- cat grid squad received All-Region and All-State honors. All-Staters were end Rhett Dawson, quarter- back Glenn Davis, end Robert Strom, and tackle Clay Freeman. All-Region players were lineback- er Kenny Clifton and halfback Kenny Bounds. In addition to All-State and All- Southern honors, Glenn Davis made the Associated Press All- American team composed of nine- ty-five players from the entire na- tion. To climax the season, Art Johlff of the National Sports News Serv- ice rated the ’Cats as the number six high school football team in the nation. 68 By shaking off a Northside halfback and picking up valu- able yardage, Rhett Dawson shows the determination that helped him take the title of “Lineman of the Year” in 1- AAA. Clay Freeman crashes through opposing line to stop a Willing- ham quarterback. Goal Becomes Reality As Cats Win Region, State Crowns Jimmy Clyatt splashes for yardage as Bill Parramore throws a last-second block on diving LaCrange player. In the South Georgia championship duel, a Savannah defender lunges for Glenn Davis but meets only a stiff forearm. 70 Johnny Gunter prepares for battle in the LaCrange game. Athens' All-American quarterback Paul Gilbert Kenny Bounds skirts left end on a touchdown jaunt against Savan- moves in for the kill as Jimmy Clyatt tries to nah- stiffarm hi; way past. Neither rain, hail, sleet, mud, or the LaGrange Grangers could stop the amphibious Wildcats as they rolled to the region championship by a score of 47-6 and set their sights on the next two games that were to see a dream come true. With a speed and weight advantage, Savannah High’s Blue Jackets came to Valdosta hoping to ex- tend their season winning streak. Yet again the ’Cats chalked up a one-sided victory, 32-3. Hailed by many as one of the finest teams in Geor- gia high school history, the Athens High Trojans played host to the Wildcats for the State AAA Cham- pionship. After withstanding a fourth-quarter surge by the Trojans, the underdog ’Cats won, 14-13. 71 Coach Wright Bazemore, second from right, goes over strategy with assistants Charles Greene, Julian LeFiles, Joe Wilson, and J.

BACK ROW: Larry Colson, Jimmy Neal, Johnny Gunter. 72 Robert Strom offers stiff-arm to pursuing Grady Blankenship, who played defense as well as offense. At the end of the annual spring foot- ball drills, senior Has-Beens met next sea- son’s ’Cats in a game that ended in a draw, 7-7. After dominating the first half both of- fensively and defensively, the ’65 seniors had to battle to keep up with Coach Wright Bazemore’s fi red-up ’Cats in the latter stages of the game. Late in the third quarter the Will-Bes ripped the stout Has-Been defense for a touchdown. With little over a minute left in the game, Coach Bill Crook’s Has-Beens connected on an 80-yard pass play which deadlocked the score. After catching a screen pas9, Grady Blankenship is up-ended by Kenny Bounds.

Valdosta Wildkittens, plagued with lack of experi- ence and lack of height, scrapped to a 14-8 season. High scores and individual records, such as the forty point tallies made by Co-Captain Becky Giddens and by Kathy Wisenbaker, lightened the sting of los- ses. Of the eight losses, five came at the hands of pow- erful Warner Robins and Northside of Warner Rob- ins, teams which went to the state AAA finals. Highlighting the season was the 1-AAA tournament, held on the home court. The Kittens finished third be- hind winner, Warner Robins, and first runnerup North- side.

Twice they lost by two points, and in three games opponents edged them by not more than five points. These defeats came at the hands of Warner Rob- ins, which finished second in the region, of Moul- trie, which had one of its best teams in years, and of Willingham. Because of a late start due to an extended foot- ball season, the ’Cats at first suffered large losses to Northside, Daugherty, and Baker. Their worst loss was to Baker, which went on to place third in the state playoffs. One bright spot relieved the losing gloom, how- ever, as the ’Cats captured second place in the Ha- hira Tournament. Closing out the season, the team beat Northside at the region tournament in Macon. They then lost to Baker. Co-captain R. S. DeLoach powers ball in for two points. 77 Fast Action R. S. DeLoach pumps in shot from the outside. mm Kenny Bounds, who made the All-region team, soars above opponents for a nifty tip-in. Grady Blankenship, junior who started nearly every game, stretches in an attempt to get the rebound. Frenzied action and determined teams pleased VHS basketball .fans both during regulation game time and in several overtimes played this season. In a game played in the VHS gym against Lown- des County, for example, the Kittens kept the score within three points, with the lead changing many times. Then the last five minutes of play brought screaming fans to their feet. Only seconds remained when the ’Dosta girls pulled ahead one point to cop the game. Against Dougherty, the Wildcats fought a nip and tuck hattle which brought them from behind to tie the score in the third period. Keeping up their momentum, the ’Cats staved off a last Dougherty at- tack and with seconds remaining went ahead to win by two points. 78 Excites Crowds Kathy Wisenbaker nab9 loose ball during hot action against Albany. As soon as the whistle sounds, Becky Giddens controls the ball to start the game. In the midst of flailing arms and legs. Co-captain Sally Shing- ler, a defensive standout, outscraps opponents for the re- bound. 79 VHS Net ters Undefeated Coach Julian LeFiles had a reason for that broad smile he sported during March and April. His net- ters did not lose a single meet. They won decisive victories over Columbus, Albany, Moultrie, Lanier, and Berrien County, beating each team twice, both at home and on the road. Senior Mac McVey and junior Jody Slocum lost only one doubles match all year. Seniors Doug Sam- uels and Buddy Kilpatrick and junior Louis Polonsky each contributed to the season’s success. At the region meet in Macon, senior Richard Las- siter and Jody Slocum lost in the doubles semifinals to a Columbus pair who went on to become state champions. Junior Charles Dennis lost the singles division to the region winner in semi-final play. After lettering four years in tennis, Richard Lassiter knows better than to go on the courts in loafers. But there is nothing unorthodox about the form he shows in backhanding a well- 80 placed shot. In Season Play TOP ROW: Mrs. Herman Johnson, Janice Murphy, Loretta BOTTOM ROW: Cornelia Carswell, Cecilia Carswell, Connie Halter, Caroline Landey, Margie Vansant, Sharon Stalvcy, Ridley, Becky Vaughn, Carole Impy, Nancy Harden. Resa Thompson, Jani Shirah, Priscilla Wilson, Jean Travis; With the exception of one tie, to Albany, Mrs. John- son’s girls went undefeated this year. This string of wins boosted their eight year 1-AAA record to an amazing fifty-seven wins, four losses, and eight ties. They played Cordele, Moultrie, Albany, and Ber- rien County as the host team and later as the guest team. Playing Cordele, Albany, and Berrien County each for the third time in the Valdosta Invitational, the team racked up ten out of a possible twelve points. Never having lost a region tourney, VHS traveled to Lanier High School in Macon where Cecelia and Cornelia Carswell won first place doubles. These two netters went on to win third place at the state meet. Nancy Harden was eliminated in the semifinals of the singles division by the girl who won first place, but the team as a whole brought back two well earned trophies. 81 Cornelia Carswell, who along with her sister Cecelia won third place in region 1-AAA doubles, shows the volleying form which contributed to their success. Nancy Harden smashes a hard-to-handle serve. FRONT ROW: Steve Bishop, Ray Corbett, Mike DeLoach, erts, John Smrcina, Kenny Bounds, Jerry Brooks, R.S.

BACK ROW: Danny Williams, Warren Rob- Bill Stern, in a recent broadcast about the Atlanta Braves, stated that Georgia was not a baseball state. Sixteen boys at VHS dis- proved this assertion—at least as far as Val- dosta is concerned. These boys composed Coach J. B. Roland’s baseball Wildcats. With only a handful of seniors in the fold, they struggled to nine wins against six losses. Outstanding players returning next year will be pitchers John Smrcina and Richard Vann. Smrcina was the ’Cats leading pitcher with a 4-3 record. Vann pitched a one-hitter against Bakdr in Columbus. First baseman R. S. DeLoach, graduating senior, was the ‘Cats’ top hitter. Along with DeLoach, the ’Cats will lose three-year vet- erans Kenny Bounds and Larry Colson. These three boys showed their enthusiasm for the national pastime by helping the diamond team pile up three winning seasons during their three years on the squad. Pitcher John Smrcina exerts full effort to deliver a fast ball. 82 Young Mounds men Compile Formidable Record Moultrie Packer reaches third base just ahead of the throw from second baseman Bobby McCrary. 83 Linksters Swing to Third in Region Paced by junior Terry Stewart and soph- omore Marvin Dickey, Coach LeFiles’ golf team won five of its six matches. At the annual Hawkinsville tournament, the ’Cats finished sixth out of a field of seventeen teams. Terry Stewart tied for fourth place in the individual competition. To climax the season, the ’Cats finished third in the region tournament in Macon. Next year’s golf team should fare well with returning regulars Terry Stewart, Mar- vin Dickey, and Roger Budd.

At the present, track facilities at VHS consist of shoes, a shotput, a borrowed disk, and several starting blocks. Valdosta even lacks the most essential facility—a track. Naturally, the team won no meets this year. Coach Charles Greene’s track team, however, did succeed in bettering the records of the last few seasons. Most of the meets were at Lowndes County, but the team also went to the Cairo relays. There they entered the 100- yard dash, the sprint-medley relay, the mile-relay, and the mile-run. Baker High of Columbus hosted the region meet. VHS entered the shot-put, the two-mile run, the mile-run, the 880-yard run, the 440-yard dash, the 180-yard low hurdles. No one from Valdosta qualified for the finals. Baker, which has an excellent track, dominated the meet. Junior Charlie Bob Bridges, who ran on the 440-relay team, 100-yard dash, and 180-yard low hurdles, practices on the starting blocks.

Each one strives to surpass all others in service, entertainment, and programs. Service to the school and community is the goal of the two Y clubs and the Key Club. While the Tri-Hi-Y girls used proceeds from cake sales to aid World Service projects, the Hi-Y boys sponsored a campus clean-up. Key Clubbers had a rummage sale and sold colored Easter biddies to raise money for a Senior scholarship. Entertainment and service blended in the ac- tivities of the Beta Club, Student Council, and Band: Talent Show—Beta Club; Homecoming— Student Council; Band Concerts and halftime shows—Marchin’ Cats. SANDSPUR and OUTLOOK staffs publicize school events and crystallize school spirit. French Club, Pep Club, and V-Club add interest to language studies, football games, and varsity athletes, respectively. During the year each club sponsors two chapel programs featuring outstanding speakers and entertainment. Participating members of these active clubs received benefits well-worth their time: fellow- ship, leadership training, fun, and the satisfac- tion of service.

Modem psychologists catalogue students as being over-achievers, under-achievers, low-achievers, and high-achievers. F or admittance into the Beta Club, a student must achieve and maintain a scholastic average of 90 with no grade below 85. He must also have an average of 90 in deportment. According to the same psychologists, leadership is a corollary to high achievement. Betas this year dis- played leadership traits when they presented their an- nual talent review. Also, as the home club of state Beta president, Emerson Bell, the VHS club planned and presented the program for the state convention in Atlanta. From Valdosta to Atlanta and back again, these Betas showed evidences of exemplary character traits in all of their endeavors. 88 “Give me one dozen roses; put my heart in be- side it and send it to the one I love” ... Instead of roses, the Student Council sent two red carna- tions to each teacher as an expression of gratitude for help given throughout the year. To emphasize these gifts, Council members presented them on each teacher’s birthday. These flowers, donated by a local floral firm, 'symbolized one aim of the Stu- dent Council—to promote a good relationship be- tween students and administration. Besides flowers, this group gave hours of time and talents. As one of their first duties they helped fill out schedules and sold ID cards. When the school year got into full swing and football season began, the Council sponsored dances in the gym after the games and ran a parking lot on campus for fans. Money made from these projects was used to defray the costs of the Homecoming Dance. To acquaint the sophomores with high school life and with the upperclassmen, these energetic students presented Sophomore Spotlight, a chapel program featuring sophomore talents exclusively. At Christmas the Council erected and decorated a tree for the front hall and sponsored the annual food drive for deserving families.

As members of the FTA, girls learned educational psychology and acquired practical teaching experi- ence. They gained an insight into guidance and the teaching of exceptional children by listening to speak- ers such as Mrs. Fred Strom and Mrs. Liska Wether- ington. Future teachers assisted their instructors by clean- ing blackboards, dusting erasers, and grading papers. Members learned to communicate with others when they attended district conclaves at Clinch County High School and at Valdosta State College. Future homemakers also went to conventions where they met other FHA members. They compared their homemaking skills with those of an expert at a cook- ing school held at the Woman’s Building. By sponsor- ing this school the FHA displayed traits of leadership. These clubs pooled their efforts to build the winning float for the Homecoming parade.

In the French Club’s chapel program Amelia Castrinos and Shirley Sainz, portraying old ladies, listen intently as Cindy Griffin relates some interesting news. Satire and the light touch characterize much French literature. Mrs. Clyde Connell’s French classes learned to appreciate this light touch when they supplemented their study of the basic language by attending movies and listening to speakers. And they used a satirical version of Jack and the Beanstalk for their float in the Homecoming Parade. French Club members viewed a French come- dy, Le Bourgois Gentilhomme by Moliere, shown at Valdosta State College. Monsieur Jean Guit- ton, French professor at VSC, secured the film for his classes. He invited high school students and others interested in the French language and culture to share the movie. Monsieur Guitton was also a featured speaker at one of the after- noon meetings of the French Club. Cooperation by French clubbers made it pos- sible for their float to win second place honors in the Homecoming Parade. Humor again influenced members as they pre- pared three short skits for their chapter pro- gram. Service Ideals Motivate Tri-Hi-Y Girls To raise money for a Tri-Hi-Y venture, Mary Young Smotherman, and Cornelia Cauthan sell cupcakes to two VSC students. “Bring your cookies to the Mall in Brook- wood Plaza at 9:00 A.M. Saturday.” This was the news passed on by Tri-Hi-Y members as they prepared for a cake sale. Money made at this sale was sent to World Service, a fund which aids deserving people the world over. Members also sold candy to support this fund, and in the same spirit of service they helped with the UNICEF drive by canvassing houses door-to- door. Members not only participated in local ac- tivities but also went to gatherings in other parts of the state. Denise Cross, Linda McLaurin, and Malinda Thompson traveled to Atlanta for the State Youth Assembly. Several girls journeyed to Albany for the Christian Life Conference. While at this gathering, Mary Young Smoth- erman of VHS was elected secretary of the southwest district. Those attending from VHS were Rosemary Lindauer, Nancy Nutt, Jani Shirah, and Mary Young Smotherman.

Hi-Y Undertakes Clean-Up Campaign Shiny-black trash cans decorated the VHS campus this year—thanks to the Hi-Y-Club. After buying these cans, members painted them, set them on posts, and placed them at strategic points for the depositing of such trash as old tests and chewing gum wrappers. This service to the school demonstrated the club’s civic awareness. Besides taking part in this local project, sev- eral members studied legislative and parliamen- tary procedures while at the State Youth As- sembly in Atlanta. Those attending from VHS were Stephen Coleman, Johnny Dean, and Chip Story. Hi-Y members performed another community service when they sold tickets to the Oberam- magau Passion Play held at the J. E. Mathis Municipal Auditorium. Hi-Y members Douglas Samuels, David Brandon, and Roy Arnold deposit trash in the receptacles their club placed on the VHS campus.

Band Rated Superior TWIRLERS: Brenda Evans, Kathleen Gleason, Jeannine McCall. At the Georgia Music Educators State Band Contest in Waycross, the flag corps, twirlers, and complete band each rated superior, the highest rank given. After hear- ing the band play three numbers, all judges concurred on this rating. During football season, the “Marchin’ ’Cats” made both hometown and visiting fans stand and applaud. At the Northside game in Warner Robins, the band marched in a merry-go-round arrangement. On the out- side of the circle large cardboard footballs announced scores of previous games. In the place of “Valdosta 7, Willingham 13,” there was “Jordan 35, Willingham 7.” Since Willingham’s defeat placed ’Dosta in front in the race for region title, the spectators showed a hearty ap- proval of this show. At its annual spring concert, the band played varied selections ranging from compositions of Tschaikovsky to “Tiajuana Brass.” Several band members won individual recognition this year. Martha Evans, Lynn Moran, and Nita Boyle will attend the Governor’s Honors Program this sum- mer. Warren Johnson represented VHS in the all state band.

Sometimes Mrs. Will Davis Burgsteiner, Mrs. Sam Glassman, school secretar- ies, feel that they are buried under clerical duties. At least they would feel this way if it were not for 29 prototypes of Robin Goodfellow—the office girls. Workers from Miss Ford’s office often summoned people from classes with mysterious little notes. On their rounds they met girls from Mrs. Burgsteiner’s of- fice who were picking up attendance slips. Chosen by Miss Ford and Mr. Bridges on the basis of dependability, these girls received one-fourth credit for their work in the two offices. 96 SEATED: Mrs. W. D. Burgsteiner, Mrs. Woodrow Leonard.

Choral Club Harmonizes at Events Interest in music and joy in singing were the only requirements for Choral Club membership. Auditions held in September, however, served as a determining factor in final acceptance and in placement of singers. Each day at sixth period the eighteen girls making up this group met in the band building. Mr. Frank Buten- schon directed the daily sessions as the girls practiced to perfect the harmony displayed at the Christmas chapel program and at the Baccalaureate services and gradua- tion exercises.

Betty Gene Beck, copyreader, checks for errors in spelling and punctuation. “You’ll get your OUTLOOK after class”—with these words teachers try to subdue students’ antici- pation of receiving this monthly school newspaper. Containing articles, editorials, and features about .school problems, achievements, and happenings, this paper, produced by fellow classmates, always is a welcome sight. On the last Friday of every month, studies are momentarily forgotten while everyone reads the news in the ’Dosta OUTLOOK. Financed by ads from the businesses of the city, the OUTLOOK is given free of charge to all stu- dents. Chosen by the faculty, the staff for this paper is made up of members of the senior class who show skill and ability in journalism and writing. As edi- tor this year, the main responsibility for seeing that deadlines were met rested on Mardi Barnes. She worked hard to see that every paper was on time and filled with something of interest for all students. Mrs. Jackie Crews, in her first year at VHS, shouldered the job of coordinating the work of the staff by serving as advisor. While editor Mardi Barnes looks for a layout sheet, Sally Shingler, editorial editor, and Mrs. Jackie Crews, advisor, admire a finished OUTLOOK. On School Activities News editors, Johnny Dean and Jean Anderson, retrieve discarded newspapers—complete with added artwork.

Key Clubbers Fellowship With Kiwanians Key Club members Bill Brannen and Matt Paine enjoy the hospitality of the Kiwanis Club at their weekly luncheon meeting. Nattily dressed in suits and ties, two young men left the classrooms of VHS each Friday. These boys, Key Club members, attended the weekly Kiwanis Club Luncheons. On these visits Key Clubbers not only enjoyed a good meal and the fellowship of older men, but they also learned some of the duties of a civic organization. Under the auspices of the Kiwanis Club and the guidance of Mr. James Copeland, social studies teacher, the Key Club at VHS endeavored to awak- en a sense of civic responsibility in students at Valdosta High. Each Wednesday morning the mem- bers met in Mr. Copeland’s home room to plan ac- tivities. Highlight of their events for the year was the chapel program at which Dr. Noah Langdale, presi- dent of Georgia State College, was the invited speaker. In a more prosaic vein, the club had a money- making project during Homecoming week. They bought an old car and used it as a representative of the opponent in the VHS Homecoming game. Students paid a small price to hit the car. Money raised in this manner helped make possible other Key Club projects.

Athletes Form Honorary Group Fifty-four members of the V-Club represented excellence in VHS ath- letic activities. To acquire member- ship in this honorary organization, boys won V-letters in football, basket- ball, baseball, tennis, track, or golf. V-Clubbers did not have to get to school early for meetings. They had to pay no dues, and they did not have to elect officers. But they were still a vital part of the school extracurricular scene. Students recognized them as being the standard bearers on grid- iron, hardwood court, diamond, ten- nis court, cinder path, and green. Titular advisor for the club was Coach Wright Bazemore. Representatives of the different sports are. FIRST ROW: Pen Wells- golf, Mike DeLoach—track. SECOND ROW: Kenny Bounds—base- ball, R. S.

Club Peddles Product—Spirit Being a good salesman requires enthusiasm, willing- ness to work hard, and a thorough knowledge of the product. Pep Club members served as salesman of spirit for football and basketball games. To boost their sales, they made posters and slogans urging students and players to “Pound the Poets,” “Scalp the Indians,” and “Tromp the Trojans.” At pep rallies they were the first to respond to the cry of the cheerleaders, “Ya’ll Yell!” Other students followed their lead in learning yells. And no weather was ever too rainy or too cold to make them miss games. Membership in this club was open to boys and girls alike; the only requirements were those neces- sary for any good salesman—plus a strong set of lungs.

Mem- bers worked at industrial plants and at Pineview Gen- eral Hospital. Each day they left school early in order to report to their respective jobs. By leaving early these boys and girls relinquished many opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities taking place after school. DCT leaders and their advisor, Mr. James P. Horn, sought to fill this void in their school lives by guiding the club so that it functioned both as an educational and as a social organization. They joined with the DE Club in sponsoring be- fore-game barbecues during football season. Besides having money-making projects, the DCT Club also took part in district and state meetings. Representatives from VHS attended the fall planning conference in Macon, the district meeting in Way- cross, and the state convention in Atlanta. Officers of the DCT Club are Diane Brynarsky, treasurer; Vivian Carter, president; Ruth Hun- zekcr, secretary; Tenya Rogers, parliamentarian; David Rowe, vice-president; and Martha Gay, historian. Members of the DCT Club are, FIRST ROW: Dianne Brynarski, Vivian Carter, David Rowe, Tenya Rogers, Martha Gay, Ruth Hunzeker.

As members of the Girls Athletic Association, all girls from P.E. classes participated in in- tramural sports. These after-school contests, which included tournaments in softball, tennis, and volleyball, supplemented the regular physi- cal education program and helped the girls keep fit. Many GAA girls proudly displayed physical fitness awards. Each girl took a series of fit- ness tests to see how she ranked not only with her classmates but with all high school girls in the nation. Among the activities of the P.E. classes this year were sponsoring a cancer booth at the American Legion Fair and putting on a dance and tumbling show in chapel. 105 Basketball, Football Cheerleaders SANDY HICKS 106 Have Varied Duties Fourteen junior and senior girls, dressed in black and gold uniforms, enlivened bas- ketball and football games with their cheer- leading. Spectators might have thought that the only duty of these attfactive, vivacious girls was to lead fans and students in cheers at parades, pep rallies, and games. Both before and after games, however, these girls had many other duties. To fi- nance their trips and other expenditures and to foster school support of the teams, cheerleaders sold spirit ribbons. In wel- coming visiting teams and cheerleaders, these girls served as official school hostesses. Before each home game they decorated the gym or the goalposts on the football field. As each game came to an end, these girls rushed across the hardwood or grid- iron to congratulate the opponents on a game well played. Any girl who wished to be a football cheerleader could display her agility and yelling ability in try-outs held in the gym. After these try-outs the student body elected eight cheerleaders. Basketball cheerleaders were chosen in the same manner. Because Ginger Schroer and Kaye Hooker received the most votes in the two elections, they were declared captains of the two respec- tive squads. GINGER SCHROER, Captain, FOOTBALL CHEERLEADERS Football cheerleaders are, KNEELING: Ree Stark, Barbara Pearlman, Ginger Schroer, Carol Clary, Linda Garrett. STANDING: Linda Reddick, Teresa Rodgers, Sally Shingler. 107 Mrs. Grady Massey, Ed Hanahan, and Ken Norton marvel at the intricacy of an azalea. Broadening Knowledge - Science Club Objective Under the capable guidance of Mrs. Grady Massey, the Science Club is open to all persons interested in that field. Topics explored in outside programs supplemented regular class material. Special training in industrial science, scientific procedure for projects, and scho- lastic training gave members a broader outlook on the fields of business, experimentation, and college science curriculums. Serving as president, Ken Norton headed the VHS chapter of the National Science Club. Allen Scott was vice-president, while Elissa Landey was secretary and treasurer. Project chairmen, Ed Hanahan and David Babcock, were responsible for planning the programs. Mr. Maurice Lindauer, chemistry professor from VSC, visited a club meeting and gave an informative talk on the importance of nuclear chemistry.

Members of the Math Club belong to the first group. Having unusual talents for numerical com- putation, these students congregated to provide a medium for free exchange of mathematical ideas. One • of the math enthusiasts received a signal honor by being chosen to attend the Northwestern Summer Institute in Chicago in the field of engineering. Similar recognition for accomplishment is the goal of all members of this club. Serving as advisor, Mr. Mike Rogers helped the club broaden its horizons beyond slide rules. Having a car in the Homecoming Pa- rade, directing a workshop for students tak- ing the National Math Test, and making dec- orations for the program of the Eighth District Council of Math Teachers in Waycross were a few of the Math Club’s projects.

Valdosta High School DECA has tripled its net- worth in the last three years. In 1962 the Dis- tributive Education students of Mr. Bill Glenn earned almost 820,000; this year the sum amounted to 860,000. While adding to their own earnings, members of this productive club also worked to further the fortunes of the club. At the state convention held in Atlanta, the club successfully promoted the elec- tion of two state officers, Sheila Carter and Linda Garrett, State student-of-the-year, Greg Wolinski, and state sweetheart, Linda Garrett, both from VHS, along with other winners contributed enough credit to the club’s record during the year to give DOSTA DECA a second place rating in the state club of the year contest. But in Valdosta, DE students have proved sec- ond to none in maintaining VHS’s winning tra- dition. Some forty odd local businesses employed DECA students this year as part-time help. In their varied jobs these youthful employees displayed their interest in marketing and distribut- ing. At the same time, they gained valuable ex- perience and added to their bank accounts—and the jingle in their pockets.

David Brandon, sophomore class editor, watches Linda Mc- Laurin, senior class editor, write copy as Sandy Bishop, junior class editor, sorts class pictures. Stiffled giggles, clamor of changing classes, band music on the football field, sighs of re- lief after tests, typewriters clicking in the typ- ing rooms—all of these make up the familiar sounds of VHS. Each year the SANDSPUR staff tries to choose for the yearbook a theme which will most clearly reflect the life of the school dur- ing that particular year. This year the staff chose to record the sounds and silences of the school. Beginning during the summer by selling ads, the staff then proceeded to capture in picture and copy the events of the year. Academic life, faculty, sports, clubs, and classes—these they faithfully reported. At first the plan of the book was nebulous; but after a year of tedious work, posing and cropping pictures, thinking of new layouts, plan- ning with Mr. Bookman to take pictures, bor- rowing pictures from the Valdosta Daily Times, and meeting deadlines, the staff members felt that they could call the yearbook their own. And when the last page was in the dummy, they closed the book with a sense of accom- plishment and pride while anticipating the time when the SANDSPUR would no longer be dummy sheets but a finished book. Mrs. Harry Wolinski, SANDSPUR advisor, helps Janet Odom, faculty editor, decide dates to have pictures of the teachers taken. Julie Groover, club editor, crops a picture to use on one of her pages. - Silences of VHS Emerson Bell, assistant editor, and Becky Giddens, editor, hold a spirited discussion about one of the division pages. Greta Wilkinson, business manager, balances her books and money before making a deposit. Bobby King measures the size of a layout sheet, and Robert Strom helps him decide which pictures to use on their sports pages. I 13 Characteristics With the ring of the eight-thirty bell, classes begin; everyone goes to home room. In the confusion of this morning class period, friends talk, laugh, study, and ... sometimes sleep. Although sophomores, juniors, and seniors are separated in many classes—such as home room —most classes are made up of combinations of students from all three grades. Even though curriculum may mix various stu- dents, the members of the three classes still show definite characteristics within their groups. Each has a distinct class personality. Having the advantage of several years of high school experience, seniors exemplify the pinnacle of success for underclassmen to emu- late. Juniors are identified with excited expecta- tion as they realize student leadership will soon be their responsibility. Although at first a little hesitant and afraid of the awesomeness of high school, sophomores soon find their place. Hard work and enthusiasm are requirements for a successful sophomore year. Each separate class, with its unique person- ality, is joined into that “temple built for learn- ing which is known as VHS.” Of Classes Determination Marks “Strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Senior superlatives of 1966 seemed to have at least one characteristic in common: that is, strong will. They revealed their determination in everything they undertook, whether it be drawing up plans for Home- coming, studying for tests, competing in sports and contests, or making preparations for graduation. Even before the teachers had identified these ten top students as their choice for the best in the 1966 Stan Christian class, other students had realized their potential and had elected them to such positions as president of the senior class, captain of the football team, presi- dent of the student council, and captain of the basket- ball team. Those receiving the coveted honor this year were Stan Christian, Becky Giddens, Kenny Bounds, Linda McLaurin, Emerson Bell, Mardi Barnes, Johnny Dean. Kathy Wisenbaker, Greg Wolinski, and Sally Shingler.

During World War II, lyrics of a popular song ex- claimed, “They’re either too old or too young; they’re either too gray or too grassy green.” These lyrics might refer to the situation of juniors at Valdosta High School: They are too old for sophomore she- nanigans and too young for senior privileges. Although the juniors were the middle class this year, they never shirked responsibilities. They held club offices and helped promote projects. Jody Slocum, Gretchen McCoy, Sis Watson, and Elissa Landy served on the Student Council. Beta Club members elected Hyta Mederer to the office of vice-president. Juniors also proved that they were mature in their attitude toward work. To make money for their prin- cipal project—the Junior-Senior Dance—-they spon- sored a beauty contest. About six months before the beauty contest, they sold ads and began collecting decorations. But when class rings came in, their squeals showed they were not too grown-up. In all junior projects class officers Susie Shingler, president; Jody Slocum, vice-president; Gretchen Mc- Coy, secretary; and Laura Cole, treasurer set the pace and led their class.

But by the end of the first six weeks they were striding along the halls and feeling like masters of all they surveyed. They met the challenge of new and different subjects by making a good showing when 23 made the se- mester honor roll. Sophomores also displayed their abilities in football and basketball. They added 15 energetic members to the ’65 foot- ball Wildcats; 11 to the ’Cat cagers; and 8 to Coach W. E. Davis’s basketball Kittens. While sophomores did not see much action this year, they gained experi- ence for the ’66 ’Cat squads. These underclassmen also enlivened the clubs of VHS by their enthusiasm and willingness to work. They manned the car lots at football games, helped at car washes and did the majority of the foot work for other club functions. To help them make this transition from junior to senior high, sophomore class members elected Roger Budd, president; Carol Blalock, vice-president; Julie Veatch, secretary; and Francis Montgomery, treasurer.

Civic organizations and clubs support activities of Valdosta High School. Students actively participate in the essay con- tests sponsored by the Civitan, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the Wymodausis Clubs. These local groups applaud scholarship and citizenship by giving tangible awards. Kiwanians honor the Star Student and Star Teacher. To win this award a senior must rank in the upper ten per cent of his class. This student, in turn, names his Star Teacher. Jimmy Hoffman and Mrs. Virginia Adams were this year’s Stars. Seniors enter the Elks Most Valuable Student and Elks Leadership contests. This year, Emer- son Bell of VHS won the leadership award on local, state, and national levels. Other groups of interested citizens recognize the athletic endeavors of students. Boosters back football and basketball. Touchdown Club mem- bers make possible the pre-school football camp, supplement lunches for the football players, and go all out in supporting the Wildcats. Of Community Busy Citizens Serve City Schools STANDING: Mr. I. H. Tillman. Mr. Reuben Yancey, Mr. John Howell, Mr. Eddie Laws, Dr. Robert Quattlcbaum. SITT- ING: Mr. Lamar Ncwbern, Mrs. Christie Patterson, Mrs. M. M. Harris, Dr. J. Ralph Thaxton. Doctors, lawyers, merchants, professors—busy peo- ple with multiple duties—became busier when they chose to serve as members of the Valdosta City Board of Education. Although they receive no salary, these businessmen and women give hours of service to the city schools. Led by Mr. Lamar Newbern, the board formulates school policies, sets up the curriculum for city schools, and cooperates with the superintendent and principals of various schools. At the monthly meeting this group discusses academic problems and attempts to work out solutions. Mr. W. G. Nunn, city school superintendent, is pres- ent at all regular meetings of the Board. Chairman Lamar Ncwhern presents his son George with a diploma on graduation night. Address by Fran Tarkington, Awards Highlight '66 Football Banquet Held for the first time at the Valdosta City Auditorium, the annual Touchdown Club banquet honoring the 1966 Wildcats featured the speech of Fran Tarkington. Mr. Tarkington, who attended Athens High School and the University of Geor- gia, is presently the number one quarter- back for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League. He began his speech by relating some game experiences. In one game as a rookie, for example, he had completed his first pass and was admiring himself when a huge forearm knocked him to the ground. He was carried off the field. Mr. Tarkington then moved to the es- sence of his speech and brought out the importance of athletics and the values learned in competition. He stated that such things as discipline in training, con- fidence in one’s self, teamwork, and grace in losing prepare the individual to meet problems. As a member in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Mr. Tarkington ended his speech with his personal testimony for Christ. Everyone on the team then received a copy of a bill passed in the Georgia House of Representatives. This bill stated that the 1966 Wildcats were the best high school football team in Georgia. Then the banquet ended with the presentation of awards. Fran Tarkington commends the ’Cats on their vic- tory over his hometown team, the Athens High Tro- jans. Before the program starts, Mr. Jack Sullivan, representative in the Georgia legislature; Mr. Tarkington; and Mr. Dale Wil- liams chat and relax. 176 Players receiving awards were Clay Freeman, best defensive lineman; Bobby King, sportsmanship; Robert Strom, best defensive back; Bill Parramore, Wildcat spirit; Jimmy Miller, Tommy Hardee scholarship award; Larry Colson, most improved; Glenn Davis, best offensive back; Rhett Dawson, best offensive lineman; Kenny Bounds, most outstanding player. Glenn Davis accepts the most valuable player award from Gary Minrhew, whose father, Mr. Carl Minchew, donated it. Mayor Richard Stewart _■ '. f Mr. Willi otfrJTtfa rro 11 Mr. BiljJCeller -1 Mr. A. D.

Custodians, Lunchroom Staff Friends, food, and fellowship of fourth period give a welcome change to the day’s routine. Wilson Bethea and George Care take a break in their busy day. 214 Long after school hours are over, Wilson Bethea and Ruby Smith, custodians, still patiently sweep and dust the classrooms and halls of the school. But Bethea is bet- ter known as school philosopher than as janitor. Students expressed their appreciation of these helpers by giving them Christmas checks. And they gave both Ruby and Bethea an ovation for their rendition of several spirituals. Bethea, Ruby, Euli Belle Williams, and George Gare were not the only behind the scene helpers, however. While students and faculty were working in the classrooms, the lunchroom staff was preparing the noon meal. Mrs. Jim Hunt served as overall supervisor and planner of the meals. “Today for lunch we are having fried chicken,” chimed Greta Wilkinson, who read the menu each day. This memo alerted all chicken lovers to get their change ready before fourth period. Every day, of course, was not a fried chicken day, but every day students could depend on having a nourishing meal. Earn Gratitude Euli Belle Williams and Kuby Smith, clad in fresh white uniforms, put down their brooms and enjoy the sunshine of a bright day. ! ur past 3rward t 6
