Outside Hctivities Time was usually sparce for senior high students, and yet there was still a continual quest for fun and action. Many kids found that listening to the radio, watching T.V. or at- tending school athletic events was just not enough to fill their hours of leisure. These people are the ones who could be found playing a game of football or pool, taking music, dance or acting lessons or perhaps dragging Peoria look- ing for a race. One group of Edisonites Httract Students found that their enjoyment in dancing led them to spending a lot of time at Skilly's, the modern dance school for Tulsa teens. Another group of kids spent time at drama classes that were offered through Tulsa Little Theater. And still others pursued their own per- sonal activities like Barbie Haney who trained and showed horses or Serrina McLendon who worked as a professional actress with her own agent in California. 22 o Outside School Activities 1.

It seems that more and more people 'tdecided to give mixers a chance!! this year because at- tendance was really up. For the mere price of 756 per person students could spend from 11!2 to 3 hours talking with friends or dancing to music varying from live bands like, the ever popular, Dandy and the Grown-ups or The House Band, to records being announced by a local D.I. Door prizes also varied from S25 worth of free gas to several free records that were awarded to the best dancers. We seemed to have reverted to the days of, Lets go do the Hop, and Twisting the Night Away. The music, whether old or new, fast or slow, was good and loud. The dancers were all over and enjoying themselves and the field- house, as always, was hot, hot, HOT! The schedule is 1-1-4-5-6. Oh, boy! An assembly! Who cares what it's about, just as long as you float two hours, right? Well, there are four cer- tain people here at Edison who care greatly about assemblies. They happen to be Miss Bar- bara Burket and her assembly planners: Stephani Seaman, Donna Wheeler and jeff Fon- taine.
