New Principal Emphasizes? Self-Discipline Concept ,., fd e SIGN UP - The Democrats campaigned hard in Tulsa County and won many elections. Buying school clothes was not the only concern of students in preparing for the beginning of the year. Even before school started we anxiously awaited the announcement of who the new principal would be. Some students hoped for a man who would not follow the book so closely but the majority wanted one who would maintain the high level of school pride. In the orientation assembly, all of Charles Page High School's 1,193 kids found Mr. Baird to be a man of high standards, concerned with the students' self- discipline. This self-discipline was obviously displayed as the students sat patiently through hot afternoons of September. During a 39-day heat wave of over 100 0 temperatures the administration deemed it necessary to let school out early on the first two days of school. There was also no rain recorded in Tulsa county for 34 of these days. -iv -53 , FIRE UP SANDITES - Scott Smith, Student Council president, joins in the fun on crazy sock day. However, these extreme temperatures did not discourage interested pupils from involvement in political campaigns. Students campaigned more enthusiastically for school offices with more detailed posters, publicity stunts and sincere speeches. Also they actively took part in state and national campaigns by going door-to-door, answering phones and helping with paperwork and organization at election headquarters.

Even though this was an election year students found the time to enjoy a wide variety of activities. Scattered throughout the several million people who attended the Tulsa State Fair were many Sandites seeking a temporary escape from the pressures of everyday life. One such pressing task annually facing us was the preparation for homecoming festivities. Homecoming week created various urgent tasks such as planning the disco dance, selling dance tickets, electing the homecoming queen and court, rehearsing the halftime ceremonies, and the long night hours of strenuous float building for parade competition As the festive week came to a close with a 19-O Sandite win over Bishop Kelley, an exceptional first-place senior class float, and a lovely football queen, court and parade, we celebrated at the homecoming disco. Excitement of these events soon dwindled and life returned to the usual pastimes. Students gathered in the high school parking lot was not an un uncommon sight nor were flashing red and blue lights of the Sand Springs Police Department. Though they did not understand why they were harrassed for gathering with friends to talk the law was laid down and in usual Sandite fashion the kids adjusted and carried on.
