Where Have All the
Originals Gone?
We live in a stereotyped
society. It is as if a cryptic
original were passed through a
Xerox machine, producing
innumerable copies.
Where have all the originals
gone? In our super
sophisticated, “new breed”
society, the individual is a rare
commodity. Despite our “new
breed” exteriors, how many of
us have actually succeeded in
becoming part of the “new
breed” of discerning, involved
individuals? Unfortunately,
many of us wear the facade of
the concerned and involved
simply as a cover-up for apathy
and indifference.
Have we become so dedi
cated to the maintenance of
our status quo that we have
overlooked the true worth of
the individual? We continue to
worship our hackneyed status
symbols. The desire to be like
everyone else has reached a
tremendous peak. One person
does something and immedi
ately sparks a chain reaction.
Many are afraid that if they
don’t conform to what they
consider the nonconformists,
they won’t be “with it.” Pretty

The new teachers at CHS are, from left to right:
Miss Billie Ann Starnes, Mr. Terry Mahan, Mrs.
Louise Stewart, Mr. Tom Jones, and Miss Peggy
Bishop. Not pictured are Mr. Charles Morrow, Mrs.
Bessie Mae Biddle, Mr. Barry Gilreath, and Mr.
William Bryant.
May We
Present...
Mrs. Bessie Mae Biddle, who
is first in the list of new faculty
members at Chattooga High
School, is an instructor in
Algebra, General Math, and
Business Math. Mrs. Biddle re
ceived her Bachelor of Arts De
gree from Athens College in
Athens, Ala. She continued her
education at Peabody College
in Nashville, Tenn, and re
ceived her Master’s degree
there. Her home is in Fort
Payne, Ala.
Teaching French and
English at CHS this year is Miss
Peggy Bishop. Miss Bishop is
from Centre, Ala. She grad
uated from Jacksonville State
University, and is working on
her Master’s degree during the
summer semesters.
Mr. William C. Bryant, of
Lyerly, is teaching Electrical
Engineering in the Vocational
Department at CHS. Mr.
Bryant received his training at
Coyn Electrical School in
Chicago.
This year Band and Chorus
are under the direction of Mr.
Barry Gilreath. Mr. Gilreath re
ceived his musical training
from Jacksonville State Uni
versity. He is originally from
“Mr. Herring, what’s a
nice guy like you doing in 1
a place like this?”
soon, everyone is copying
everyone else.
The same occurs at the high
school level-yes, even at CHS.
Many continue to flow with
the tide and never give their
thinking apparatus a chance to
function. They never think for
themselves.
For instance, someone may
inadvertently say what some
people consider a catchy
phrase. Pretty soon, practically
half the students are coining
the phrase, even though they
may not find it singularly
appealing.
It is so easy to permit the
leaders of the “movement” or
the “crowd” to dictate to us.
Many of us have fallen into the
habit of believing without
questioning. It seems that we
have started playing the game
of “Foilo w -Who me ver-
Seems-Hip.”
True, we have discovered a
new morality; and, true, we
have begun to destroy some of
the hypocritical codes of our
society, but we have also
succeeded in achieving the
pinnacle of duplicity and
superficiality.
Summerville.
Mr. Thomas C. Jones, Jr. is
from Macon, Ga. He is a grad
uate of Mercer University
where he received his Bachelor
of Arts degree in Speech. Other
than coaching football at CHS,
Mr. Jones teaches English and
General Math.
Teaching for his first time is
a former graduate of Chat
tooga, Mr. Terry Mahan. He
graduated from Jacksonville
State University, and is now
teaching American Govern
ment and Physical Education.
Another new face in the
P.E. department is Mr. Charles
Morrow. Mr. Morrow is also
serving as the backfield coach
for the Indians. He received his
Bachelor of Science Degree
from Middle Tennessee State
University. Coach Morrow is
from Lawrenceburg, Tenn.
Miss Billie Ann Starnes is
teaching both English and, a
new course, Journalism, at
Chattooga. She is a paduate of
Troy State University in Ala
bama, and her home is in
Birmingham.
Also teaching English this
year is Mrs. Louise Stewart.
Mrs. Stewart attended Berry
College in Rome, where she
graduated with a Bachelor of
Arts Degree in History and
English. Mrs. Stewart is from
Summerville. Her son, Joey,
and Susie, her daughter, attend
CHS.
We would like to wish the
greatest success to the nine
new teachers and welcome
them to Chattooga High
School.
George McGovern, Senator
(D-S. D):
“I think he (Vice President
Agnew) has done more to
divide and weaken the country,
perhaps, than our enemies in
Hanoi have done.”
Jerris Leonard, Director,
Civil Rights Division of the
Justice Department:
“Time has run out, we’ve
gone to great lengths to bring
about voluntary compliance,
but the end is finally here.”

CHATTOOGA INDIANS PRACTICE FOR FRIDAY'S GAME
SMOKE
SIGNALS
Once again it’s scalping sea
son at the Little Big Horn and
the Indian War party is strong,
tough, quick and experienced.
They have drive, ability and
stamina. Will they make
it?? . . . Maybe . . .
Head Coach Joe Kines pre
dicts a fair to strong season,
depending on the boys will to
win.
All their qualities, including
their will to win, will be put to
the test in the very first game
of the season, when they will
face what looks to be perhaps
their toughest opponents of
the year.
The Cherokee County
(Centre) Alabama Warriors will
march onto CHS soil with a
line boasting an average weight
of 225 pounds, against an
Indian line averaging only 165
pounds. Centre also boasts a
fleet backfield: the starting
halfback is the Alabama state
low hurdles champion. If you
have a big grinding football
machine pictured in your
mind, then you may be getting
the Centre picture.
These two schools have met
only twice before; they came
away with one each. But that
was more than ten years ago.
The real test will come tomor
row night.

Head Coach Joe Kines had
words of praise for this year’s
Indians. He said that the team
was shaping up quite well, and
that he was pleased with his
new coaches.
Phil Cavin and Butch Lanier
are handling the controls well,
and Bobby Mitchell has made a
“good change” from tailback
position to quarterback. Phil
Lenderman is doing a top
notch job at fullback. At this
same post Coach said that
Herman Fletcher “has greatly
improved.”
The guard positions “look
good” thanks to Donnie Moss
and Warren McDaniels. Albert
Williams and Jesse Adams
“look good defensively.” The
defensive secondary is strong,
and so far the team is in good
health.
The new coaches are: Jack
Mayo—end coach (also boys’
basketball coach); Charles
Morrow-back coach (also
track coach); and Tom Jones
line coach (also girls’ basketball
coach). These men are young

DEAR READERS,
Dear Readers,
This is the school year
1970-71. Many changes have
taken place to produce Chat
tooga High School as it now
stands. The Indian Lore of this
year plans to represent this
new image of the school. Since
the Indian Lore is dedicated to
the student, it must concern
itself with the issues and ques
tions raised by these students.
Only those issues will be dis
cussed in our columns.
The Indian Lore is meant to
be a forum upon which issues
are discussed in a light that
would reflect the majority of
CHS students. However, it is
the Indian Lore staff’s duty to
express our opinions on these
various student issues.
Only with your help and
guidance as to the type, man
ner, and opinions expressed on
this page can we hope to make
the Indian Lore of Chattooga
High School your personal
newspaper. If at any time these
articles do not express your
views, please feel free to con
tact a member of the staff and
we will be happy to listen to
your ideas.
This is your newspaper. It
will take your interest and sup
port for it to succeed.
Sincerely,
Janet Farrar

Swinging Student Teachers
of Chattooga High
This year Chattooga High
has some real swinging student
teachers. I believe that their
appearance in classes will in
fluence more students and help
make classes more interesting
to attend. First, I would like to
present Martha Cochran, who
will be student teaching under
Mrs. Edythe McGinnis in Home
Economics. Martha is attending
David Lipscomb College in
Nashville, Tennessee. She grad
uated in 1967 here at Chat
tooga High School. This is
Martha’s senior year at David
Lipscomb College and she is
majoring in Home Economics.
Martha says that she is observ
ing the difficulties and adjust
ing to the new school year. She
also said that this has provided
her with an opportunity that
she would not have during
practice teaching, because she
will begin practice teaching
during the winter months.
Second, I should like to
present Evelyn Dawson, she
will be student teaching under
Mrs. Henley. Evelyn is also a
former student from Chattooga
High in 1967. She is now in her
senior year at Tift-College in
Forsyth, Georgia. She is ma
joring in Chemistry. Evelyn
hopes to become familiar with
the things that are always hap
pening at the beginning of the
school year. She will begin her
student teaching during the
winter months also.
Third, I would like to pres
ent Dale Willingham, who is
also observing the difficulties
and adjusting to the new
school year. Dale will be a stu
dent teaching under Mr. James
Folsom. He is in his senior year
at Berry College and is major
ing in Industrial Arts. He, also,
is a former student at Chat
tooga High. He graduated in
1966. Dale hopes to gain more
teaching experience in the field
of Industrial Arts while student
teaching. He also hopes to gain
a greater understanding of the
teacher-student relationship.
Fourth, I would like to
present Bobby Floyd. He is
now attending Carson Newman
College and is in his senior
year. He is majoring in History.
in Chattooga and that’s part of
the ingredients of a winning
team.
The 1970 Chattooga Indians
are: Quarterback, Cavin,
Lanier, Mitchell; Tailback,
Lanier, Underwood, Hudgins;
Fullback, Lenderman,
Fletcher, Galloway; Wingback,
Evans, Andy Williams, Stewart;
Tight end, Adams, Eaton; Split
end, Floyd, Christopher,
Strange, Jett; Center, Fulton,
Crouch, Jackson; Guard, Moss,
Marks, Cox; Guard, W.
McDaniels, Brooks, Lewis;
Tackle, Cash, P. McDaniels,
Ledford; Tackle. Albert
Williams, Mosley, McWhorter.
On this small but mighty
team there are fourteen
athletes who are playing with
Big Red for their last season.
Ten of the Indians are
juniors most of them are ex
perienced. The other nine
promising players are
sophomores. With 14 seniors
there should be good leader
ship and experience. By Sat
urday morning we will know
whether or not this experience
payed off.

Betty Lee Busby is also a
former student of Chattooga.
She graduated in 1967 and is

winter and spring months.
The Arts
Picture
BY STEVE JONES
Gone But Not Forgotten
Department:
The Fine Arts Club will be
missing from CHS this year.
Gone, yes, but not forgotten.
In the short span of the years
since the club’s charter, it has
probably completed more proj
ects than any other club in the
school. However, last year the
club fell ill to the old school
disease of officers and mem
bers who had other things to
do. Because of this fact, the
Administration asked the club
not to elect new officers and
not to set any more meetings.
The Student Council will now
officially write it off and the
Chattooga Fine Arts Club will
be a thing of the past.
In an interview with the
sponsors of the club, we found
that they had warned the mem
bers time after time of the
perils of poor attendance, lack
of cooperation and shakey
leadership. The faults were not
corrected and the club is now
out of existence.
The end of the only general
cultural club in CHS is very
unfortunate for us. We need it
but there is nothing anyone
can do now apart from learning
from the mistake and making
the effort not to let any more
of our clubs go down the drain
for useless reasons.
New and Better Things To
Come Department:
There are many new courses
at CHS this fall, one of which
is art. In the past, art has been
an outside activity here but
now is a whole unit course
being offered for the first time.
Mr. Thomas instructs stu
dents taking the course and
told us that “art is a sincere
developer of the steps leading
to the finer things in life.” His
plans, he stated, are to make it
clear that art is used in all
trades, skills, and industries
and that everyone should feel
the importance of art in their
lives. He pointed out that even
the desks in his classroom are
arranged artistically to show
that art brings in all aspects of
day to day living.
Many art shows are already
being discussed by the class,
including sidewalk exhibitions
for Summerville and Rome.
Mr. Thomas is very in-

A Vacation at Rock City Eagle
This summer eight girls
from Chattooga High enjoyed a
glorious week at Rock Eagle.
They were the new officers of
the Junior and Senior Tri-Hi-Y
Chapters.
The girls from the Junior
Chapter were Anne Pesterfield,
president; Lucy King, vice-pres
ident; Susan Floyd, treasurer;
Kathryn Clowdis, school proj
ects chairman.
Susan Tomlin, president;
Joyce Cherry, treasurer; Cathy
Evett, secretary; and Marie
Brooks, school projects chair
man, were the girls from the
Senior Chapter who also at
tended the camp.
They attended officers
meetings, assemblies, and
special classes they chose them
selves.
There was also a special
drama program presented. The
title was “Trail, Death, and
Victory,” a heartbreaking story
on the Life of Christ.
While at camp they enjoyed
recreations such as softball
games, volleyball games,
swimming meets, and many
more sports.
On Wednesday night the
girls from Summerville had
charge ot vespers.
Life in a Goldfish Bowl
BY CELIA THOMAS
When a lilting chorus of
“We all live in a goldfish bowl,
a goldfish bowl, a goldfish
bowl ...” was sung this
summer, it was not in any pet
shop. Rather, it could be
traced to Wesleyan College in
Macon where it was the theme
song of students participating
in the Governor’s Honors Pro
gram.
I was privileged to be one of
those “goldfish,” a term
growing from the times various
terested in this new offering
and under his imaginative
leadership the classes should be
interesting and fun as well as
educational.
“What’s The Band Doing
Now?” Department:
Get ready, children. Half
time at football games will
never be the same! The Chat
tooga High School Marching
Indians are seeing to that.
When they march on the field
tomorrow, you will be as
proud as they are that they
represent our school. Every
thing from close order drills to
Latin American music is being
used to make certain that you
are fully entertained.
The band worked hard in
camp the week before school
started, practicing eight hours a
day to prepare half-time shows
which you will be sure to like.
The Old Moral Department:
Don’t forget that the
football team, band, and cheer
leaders have worked hard for
tomorrow night’s game, but
they all need your support for
a successful season. Be there.

the tribe!

program rules were explained
as being necessary to “keep up
the appearance” which would
be viewed favorably by the
state legislators who must an
nually appropriate funds for
the program.
1 arrived at Wesleyan June
10, along with 399 other
anxious, confused, and sup
posedly “gifted” individuals.
The first few days caused our
confusion to mount with orien
tation session after orientation
session. Within a week, how
ever, the outstanding features
of the program were beginning
to be noticed. The absence of
grades, for instance, helped to
keep a “summer school”
atmosphere out of the class
rooms.
I was nominated for the
program in English and spent
three and a half hours each
morning in one of the many
parts of the English program.
All students chose an after
noon “interest area” in which
an hour to an hour and a half
was spent each day. I chose
'French and consequently
found the interest area to be
one of the highlights of my
summer.
An hour each afternoon was
spent in P. E. where many of
the “bumbling intellectuals”
were given the opportunity to
prove themselves more apt in
golf, tennis, or football than in
math or Spanish.
The routine was often
broken by special events, in
cluding appearances by several
of the gubernatorial candidates
and a program which featured
artist Lamar Dodd.
All in all, my summer spent
in the GHP “goldfish bowl”

ing to do? Well, three seniors:
Judye Shropshire, Becky
Lindsey, and Marie Brooks sure
didn’t! This trio attended sum

Shorter Colleges for approx
imately nine weeks, each
taking two courses.
Judye Shropshire, attending
Berry College, selected Human
Biology 104 and World Civili

“It was a great opportunity to
get a taste of college life,” said
Judye, “and I met a lot of
interesting people.”
Judye’s other interests in
