and only championship of a
Christmas tournament that
year. In 1962, the record was
14 wins and 13 losses, but the
comeback started the next
time out when, in 1962-63, the
Indians won 17 and lost 7. In
the season just ended, the
Seminoles won 17 and lost
eight. They won the subre
gion tournament at the end
of the year by whipping the
Blakely Bobcats, then lost to
the ’Cats in a playoff, hence
ended up as IB’s co-champs
with Blakely.
Clarkston eliminated the
Indians in the first round at
Columbus, then went on to
become the state’s champions.
During Tillman’s tenure
here, he helped develop two
youngsters, Herman Brookins
and Terry Ingram, into schol
arship material.
And that isn’t all. Tillman
knows the outlook for the im
mediate future for the Indi
ans is good. He is not leaving
a team that has run
out of material. On the con
trary, only two regular, Allen
Lewis and Gerald Miller were
graduated, and folks who saw
the current team play know’
there is above average mater
ial remaining.
While wrestling with the
problem of w’hat to do, Till
man has been preaching as a
lay speaker in the Friendship
Methodist Church and other
places. He has been teaching
a Sunday School class, too,
and he’s done enough of it to
know now that he has made
the correct choice.
But if he was already doing
some preaching and teaching,
and coaching, too, why not
continue that way? Anyone
who has observed Coach Till
man in action with his team
can answ’er this. Tillman is
an “all the way” kind of
coach- He’s working at it
with all his strength, atten
tion and determination, and
he could not “half do” either
.calling.
“I don’t believe I could put
myself so completely into
coaching again,” said Tillman,
"‘And if I could not, then I
don’t believe I could do the
job.”
“I knew something was
working on me for a long
time, and it’s a relief, now
that I’ve found out what it is,
and I’ve decided to respond,”
he says.
Tillman’s goal now is to pre
pare for fulltime service in
the church as a worker with
young people. He knows there I
must be study and practice, ;
dedication and patience. In
the meantime there is the
matter of living expenses, etc.
For the next year at least,
the Tillmans will continue to
live here, while Jere teaches
in the seventh grade of the
elementary school and studies
for his new career during the
time he used to put to coach
ing- After next year there
may be other changes, but no
need to worry about that now.
It isn’t easy to leave an
exciting life of sports to be
gin something completely new
and strange. Especially when
you’re stepping off the top of
the ladder in the career you
have followed and loved for
years. It’s a “play” that calls
for the best in men, to obey
and serve the Master Coach
in a game of infinitely more
value.

soon be inadequate for the
needs of the congregation as
it continues to grow. He says
he hopes there will be a de
mand for a completely new
building in front of the pres
ent one. Also part of the fu
ture plans is one to build a
parsonage on the tract.
Evangelist Zorn has built a
fulltime schedule as a minist
er, as well as a builder. He
teaches two bible classes a
week, and preaches four times
each Sunday, twice in Donal
sonville and twice in Hen
town. He also conducts a daily
radio program.
Mrs. Zorn teaches a ladies
bible class and a Sunday
School class for children.
Their children are Resa Zorn,
age five, and Rhonda, two.
The salary of the Zorns
was paid by the Belleview
church until March of this
year. Since then it has been
paid by local members, with
partial support from other
churches of Christ.
Has Faith In Future
Zorn has faith in the future
of the church here. “Most of

Have you ever seen 7,000 grown men ary? You’d think success would make them happy, but ever since Mustang
came out, seven thousand Ford Dealers all over the country have been weeping and wringing their hands. They
can’t get as many Mustangs as they would like. All this would upset us, too, except it’s happened to us before.
You see, this was the hottest sales year in Ford Division history even before Mustang came out. At the beginning
of the modsbyear, dealers couldn’t get enough of our big, hot Super Torque Ford Hardtops (sales up 54%)...0r
luxurious Thunderbirds (sales up 68%). Falcon sales are almost as big as Chevy II and Valiant combined. Fairlane
continues to be a leader in its field. So, even though some people would like us to put TRY TOTAL PERFORMAWC g
all our plants to work on Mustang, we can’t let down our hundreds of thousands of Ford, chang
Thunderbird, Falcon and Fairlane lovers. Why don’t you come see what all the shouting’s |Kg 11; iilOp WW
about? Ask your Ford Dealer for a test drive. (You might even get him to smile.) Jl,

new building housing the Church of Christ, estab
lished a year ago in Donalsonville. Members of the
