Tiger Talk Program

❖ The Tiger Talk program was first introduced in 1957 to SPHS and made its debut by selling them to cover the costs of

• printing. Today School newspapers are distributed in

homeroom with no cost. (cost was approx. a dime) ❖ Addressed Controversial topics ❖ Started off as a program, a part of the journalism class but over time it became its own club! ❖ After the late 50’s more clubs dedicated to writing and literature opened up. ❖ Today, while the newspaper club still exists, students now receive school news through SPHS Tiger TV!

Today’s Literary Programs!

Music Department

❖ Orchestra and Band membership was pretty low during the late 50’s and through early 60’s but then began to grow. ❖ Choir membership however, was always high and had multiple programs. ➢ Ex: girl’s chorus, mixed chorus, A Cappella Chorus, The emeralds ❖ Started to see Marching Band grow in the 60-70’s ❖ Late 70’s is when you begin to see programs such as the marching band have more space in the yearbook as they start competing and performing
