The ACHS Totem Pole was a 1969 Art Class project This account is from one of the original artists who carved the Missing ACHS Totem Pole The project meant more than just a sculpture: 'Looking back,' James Brockman recalls,' the construction of this totem pole was a lesson of life's journeys that would follow. The interactions with the other classmates, the discipline of getting a project complete, accommodation of different ideas, and especially the discussions with Mrs. Lamberth that would determine my direction in life.' Comments re article 46328 1969 ACHS Annual has photo of Missing ACHS Totem Pole By James Brockman As a senior at the ACHS in 1969, the totem pole project was an idea that came to life in Mrs. Lamberth's Art Class. There were four of us. As listed in the 1969 ACHS Chieftain year book, page 138, the four senior boys in Mrs. Lamberth's class were James Brockman, Norris Tucker, Elroy Willis, and Ralph Willis who constructed the symbolic totem pole of the Adair County Indian team. Once the conceptional design was complete, the first thing we did to get this project going was to actually get a log. We made a trip to Sandusky's Saw Mill located out Campbellsville Road. After looking around to see what was available and some negotiations, we made our selection. Next stop was City Supply to purchase paint and brushes. Tools were located such as wood chisels, hammers, and other items. There is a lot more details that I remember, but will stop at that for now. Once the new high school was finished, I was disappointed that the totem pole was not relocated to the new school. If located, it would be an honor to restore the totem pole to like new condition. I would like to thank my sister-in-law, Trish Jackson, for her attention to this matter. Looking back, the construction of this totem pole was a lesson of life's journeys that would follow. The interactions with the other classmates, the disciplinee of getting a project complete, accommodation of different ideas, and especially the discussions with Mrs. Lamberth that would determine my direction in life. -James Brockman Paducah, KY This story was posted on 2011-08-20 14:50:29
