leadership
David is the son of Mr. and
Mrs, David T. Coley, Sr He
has three older sisters:
Mariann Coley Swank
married last week; Carroll
Coley; and Dorothy Coley.
The Coley family lives on
Route 1, Perry, just outside
Perry on the Fort Valley
Road They attend St.
Christopher’s Episcopal
Church.
David, who is a six footer
and tips the scales at 235
pounds, played two years of
varsity football, in the 10th
and 12th grades He was an
offensive tackle as a soph, but
anchored a spot as a defensive
tackle as a senior, Coley was
surprisingly quick, and a
leading tackier on Coach Bob
Morrow’s squad last fall.
David was honored at season’s
end by being named “Best
Defensive Lineman”.
Young Mr. Coley also
wrestled as a senior, grap
pling in the unlimited weight
classification. He says he
enjoyed both sports, but had to
admit a preference for foot
ball
In addition to football and
wrestling. David enjoys
almost all outdoor sports,
especially fishing, hunting and
camping As a spectator he
enjoys soccer, hockey, foot
ball, and baseball
One “hobby” may prove
useful in later life- flying. Last
year David took pilot training
and eventually received a solo
license at Jim Brown’s school
of aviation at the Perry-Fort
Valley Airport. “I haven’t
flown in at least six months,
though,” comments David,
"It’s getting hard to find the
time ”
David is a member of the
PHS Industrial Arts Club and
admits that Industrial Arts,
along with ROTC, is his
favorite class.
He has been accepted at
Middle Georgia College of
Cochran and will begin there
this fall. He “right now” plans
to major in Secondary
Education, but definitely will
take collegiate EOTC and plan
to enter the armed services,
“hopefully the Air Force” as a
Second Lieutenant.
Speaking of ROTC, David
excelled in the Air Force
classes and training He was
an Airman First Class the first
year, but began to rapidly
advance in rank as a junior.
That fall quarter he was
promoted to 2nd Lieutenant in
charge of the drill team and
the color guard, and promoted
again to First Lieutenant
before the quarter was over.
Winter quarter David was
named Captain and
11.3 Percent \
AAore Families Headed
By Women In Houston
In Houston County, as in most other parts of the
country, more families are headed by women than
ever before.
In the absence of husbands, for one reason or
another, they have taken over the responsibility of
earning a living, maintaining a home and bringing
up their children by themselves.
In 1970, when the last census was taken, it was
found that 1,540 local families, amounting to 9.8
percent of the total, were headed by women.
Since then there has been a general increase
throughout the country, according to a sampling
survey made by the Department of Commerce.
In Houston County, as a result, it is estimated
that the proportion is now approximately 11.3
percent.
Elsewhere in the United States, byway of
comparison, the average is 12.4 percent. Among
the white population it is 9.9 percent and, among
the black, 34.0 percent.
There are now over 6.6 million families headed
by women, 1 million more than in 1970.
Why the sudden increase? The Institute of Life
Insurance has an explanation for it.
\
Operations Staff Officer,
working with the Cadet
Commander in all extra
curricular activities. Last
spring quarter, as a junior,
Coley was again, as a Captain,
the drill team commander.
The Fall quarter of this
school year, David served as
the Squadron First Sergeant,
the top non commissioned
officer in the 140 man con
tingent. But the Winter
quarter he was promoted all
the way to Captain again,
serving as Squadron Vice
Commander (second in
command) in charge of the
staff.
This quarter David was
named Cadet Commander,
promoted to Major, then
promoted again, to Cadet
Lieutenant Colonel. His Lt.
Colonel’s rank was pinned on
him by Instructor Lt. Col.
(ret.) Leo Polnaszek of PHS
and by Colonel McArdle-
Robins SAC commander, at
the PHS squadron’s formal
“Dining In” at the base.
David gives ROTC a great
deal of credit for helping him
to mature. “I really learned
an awful lot in ROTC- not just
the bookwork, but how to get
along with people. I’m really
glad I took it while I was at
Perry High.”
Yes. David Coley probably
did learn a lot in ROTC and at
Perry High. But the students
and faculty all agree that
David Turner Coley, Jr., gave
just as much to the school, if
not more, than he received
from it.

It states that in 1968, for example, being
widowed (46 percent were) was the principal
reason for women moving into the leadership role.
The second was divorce or separation (44 per
cent).
Today, divorce or separation has jumped into
the lead (50 percent), well ahead of widowhood (37
percent). The number of single women heading
families has also increased, going from 10 percent
to 13 percent.
More and more, as a result, children are being
brought up by their mothers alone. The Census
Bureau reports that 14 percent of all children in
the United States under the age of 18, or 1 out
every 7, are now being raised by their mothers.
In Houston County, according to the latest
Government figures, 1,105 of the families with
female heads have children under 18 and 405 of
those have children under age 6.
The changes in household composition and
family structure are attributed to such factors as
changing attitudes toward marriage and toward
separation and divorce. Better job opportunities
for women has also been a factor.
