TIME A Letter From the Staff The creation and publication of the Bulldog yearbook is more complicated than most people imagine. Before a deadline can be met, pictures must be taken, devel- oped, printed, and identified: copy must be written. and layouts completed. the 1980-81 yearbook staff has worked diligently on this volumne with one goal in mind - To make this year's annual one of the best. This year's annual theme, contemporary magazines, tries to capture the people and their moods, events and their results, and the special moments of the 1980-81 school year. The cover of this year's book reflects the purpose - To show that every in- dividual in the Jay Public School system has a place in Time, The school crest was used on the cover because it represents the different facets of 'our school life. The circle or shield represents our Indian activities in our school. The cap and diploma represent our goal of academic excellence. The football player represents athletic competition. The staff would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the following people who contributed their time and energy. Without their photography, art and - or writing skills, this book could not have been -completed. Photographers: Joe Burcham, Jay Citizen, Steve Fritz, Roger Frye.

Time is published annually at the subscription price of 57.50 by Taylor Publishing Company, Dallas, TX Clifford and Norma Thornton Seventy Years of Dedication 1 by Brent Gill With a combined seventy years contributed to education, Mr. C. Fi. Thornton and wife, Norma, gathered all personal belongings in their respec- tive rooms and bade farewells to faculty and stu- dents to set out on a journey in life they never had time for. Mr. Thornton has been in the educational field tor 43fyears as a classroom instructor, coach, principal, and superintendent. He received his Bachelor of Science Degree at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah and a Master of Science Degree at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. He did some additional work at Fresno State Col- lege in Fresno, California and Oklahoma University in Norman. Of the 43 years Mr. Thornton has dedicated to education, twenty years have been spent in the Jay Public School system. He began at' Jay as a biological science instructor from 1945-1946. He returned to Jay again in 1958 and served as administrative principal until 1963 when he took over the duties of superintendent. While serving as superintendent from 1963- 1967, he accomplished three goals. Two major goals were the construction of the present high school facilities and the building of J. B. Earp sta- dium and field house. The third goal was the addi- tion of a new wing of classrooms to the elementary school building. After spending four years at the Madera Employment Training Center in Madera, Califor- nia, as a chief instructor and then associate direc- tor in charge of education, he returned to Jay to resume his position as superintendent. From 1971, until his retirement last spring, Mr. Thornton has attained numerous educational goals for the Jay school system: construction of the new gym, music rooms and classroom com- plex, middle school, and track in 1972, addition to the elementary in 19743 the Trolinger baseball field in 19753 additional classrooms to the middle school in 1977, annexation of the vocational build- ing in 19785 construction of the elementary physi- cal education building in 19795 and in 1980, the field house addition and elementary library-media center. During his 43 years as an educator, Mr. Thorn- ton taught with this philosophy in mind: Prepara- tion to do better that which one chooses to do. Education provides the necessary background for success in a community which is better because we have lived in it. One must learn to continue learning and be able to change as situations demand. Knowledge is important only if one has the wisdom to apply that knowledge for human benefit. Education makes it possible to apply knowledge .when and where needed, so one may be helpful and happy in society. Joining Mr. Thornton in his retirement will be his wife, Norma, who has been in education for 27 years as an English-Journalism instructor. She received both her Bachelor of Science and Master of Teaching degrees at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah. She also has some addi- tional hours acquired at Fresno State College in Fresno, California. . Mrs. Thornton's career began in a two-room school, three miles north of Salina in 1947, where she taught grades 1-4. After teaching there for one year, she returned to further her education until 1953, when she taught third grade at Salina Elementary. She transferred to Jay High School in 1958 to teach English and Journalism. In 1967, she moved to Madera, California with her hus- band, where she taught eighth grade English. She returned to Jay in 1971 to teach until her retire- ment last spring. During her teaching career, Mrs. .Thornton's phi- losophy of education was to help each student realize that he is an individual responsible for him- self and the development ofhis potential and to instill in each student the desire to leave the world a better place for his having been there. The per- fection of these tenets are, I believe, the measure of a truly educated person. Their retirement plans include traveling, garden- ing, fishing, golfing, and working on their home and lake property. Commenting on their future plans, Mr. Thornton said, We do not plan to be gainfully employed. Norma and I hope to stay in good health for many more years and enjoy doing the things we want to do when we want to. We plan to continue in church, working, serving, and praising God, our creator and provider. Mrs. Thornton added, We plan to spend the rest of our days doing the things that we never felt we had time for. The years have been full and rewarding, but we look forward to the years to come and believe they'll be the best yet - com- parable to the splendor and the beauty of the trees in the fall will the 'fall' of our lives be - is our dreams and expectations. 3 1.

It Hurts, But. . . Seventeen Give So More Will Live by Judy Snell Will it hurt? Oh my gosh, l'll probably faint! exclaimed Jane Doe, as she was registering to give blood. Of course our character is imaginary, but these thoughts could have been going through the minds of students who were preparing to donate block when the bloodmobile came to the community center on October21, 1980. Choosing to donate blood is a very important deci- sion, for your sake, as well as others'. Several people who donated had opinions on this subject: Cnty human beings can give blood to those who need it. Some people can't give due to health problems, so jhealthy people need to be concerned about people jin need, commented Mr. Bowles, sponsor of the blood drive in Jay High School. Michaelle Spencer iadded, The thought of it possibly saving one to six ipeople's lives makes me feel like l'm doing a commu- nity service. The process of donating blood is a fairly uncompli- cated procedure. Registration is the first step. There you receive a form, containing personal information such as history of illnesses, to fill out. Temperatures are taken at the next station. People who have fevers are rejected because this could indi- cate an infection in the body. The next step involves having your blood pressure checked. Nursing volunteers also go over the ques- tions on the registration form, at this time, to make sure you haven't left a question unanswered. Getting your blood typed is the next step. The vol- unteer nurses prick your ear lobe and extracts a small amount of blood. Through a chemical process they determine what type blood you have. The donor is now ready to give blood. Some donors had mixed feelings right before they were to donate. Senior Ralph Feather admitted, I felt fear . . . terror . . . silly! Senior Susan Collier exclaimed, 'il was so scared! Terry Whiteman's thoughts were, Help! Approximately one pint of blood is taken. After their blood is taken, the donors must rest for 10 min- utes. During this time he or she is furnished with a sandwich and cookies and coffee or orange juice. Mr. Bowles and Susan Collier summed up their feelings afterward, I felt great! My arm didn't hurt and I did something for someone less fortunate than me, said Mr. Bowles. I felt pretty good, because I knew that I had done a good thing, explained Susan. Along with Mr. Bowles, sixteen other students donated: Alan Handle, Ralph Feather, Michaelle Spencer, Glenda Oliphant, Kristy Bolton, Tresa Raper, Diane Larkin, Linda Williams, Pammie Jef- fries, Laura Alexander, Denise Thompson, Kathy Rodgers, Jamie Bonenberger, Susan Collier, Rick Brantly, and Terry Whiteman. The four that couldn't donate for various reasons were: Beatrice Blanchard, John Dixon, Brad Ellis, and John Grady. l'm glad that's over with! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! concluded Jane Doe as she was walking out of the community center, Drama Enrollment Increase' by Judy Snell For ten years Joretta Duncan taught one combined speech and drama class. But an increase in enrollment of drama students last year caused the class to be divided into two groups. Mrs. Duncan now teaches Drama ll stu- dents and Judy Stump has the Drama l class. Because of the larger enrollment - 52 stu- dents compared to the 1979-80 enrollment of 27 - drama students were able to present a play each semester this year. Their pre-Christmas plays, presented on December 15 and 16, were four one-act plays, directed by Ms. Stump. The aspiring actors and actresses included both Drama l and ll stu- dents. Drama ll students presented the tirst play Snow White and the Seven Little Men. Drama l students followed with: The Lottery, Impromptu, and Where Have All the Light- ning Bugs Gone? Prime Time Crime, a comedy, was the main project for Drama Club students the sec- ond semester. lt was a two-act play performed on April 13 and 14. I think the Drama Club was outstanding this year. The students have outstanding talent - they've always had talent. The kids this year were a real good group to work with, con- cluded lvlrs. Duncan. 7 W. 4 Two Classes Formed ww-Q' Almost through!

Soon a light blue pickup pulled up to the building and the driver, Mr. Heard, yelled, We won! Mr. Baker shouted, All right! He started shaking hands with Mr. Jeffries. The juniors started yelling and shaking hands. This is the happiness that comes with building a win- j ning homecoming float. It's not the fact that the winner ' gets a big prize, because the amount of the prize money isn't even half of the amount of what you put into the making of the float. lt's just the satisfaction you get when you win and you know how much hard work and enthusiasm went into making it, stated Judy Snell, jun- ior class president. Mr. Baker, head sponsor of the junior class, lists the ingredients for the beginning of their winning float: We started with a classy theme and title for the floatg excel- lent students with a lot of desire to be winners: very tal- ented art students, a hay truck, 2 x 4's, plywood, paint, chicken wire, and many, many napkins. Collecting ideas, putting them together, and illustrat- ing them in the form of a float takes a lot of time and patience. We worked on the float for two and one-half weeks, working approximately three hours per day, added Mr. Baker. To decide on a title for the float, the junior class had meetings during the noon lunch break. They decided on the title, Every Which Way But Loose, and tied it into their float theme as, Bulldogs Will Turn the indians Every Which Way But Loose. Students were involved in gathering the needed mate- rials. The first step was framing the truck and placing the plywood around the edgesg then the plywood was painted. Ronnie Barnes and Leon Sultzer were the two people responsible for the arf work on the float. Ronnie lettered the title on the sides and several other students filled in the lettering. Ronnie said, l was worried that it wasn't going to turn out as well as it did. l spent about two hours a night, four or five nights a week on it. I feel it was worth the time I put into it, he added. Chicken wire was placed on the bed ofthe truck. This was to be stuffed with napkins later on, Leon and Ron- nie drew and painted the bulldogs on the float. Others built the teepee and stocks that were to be placed on it later, Next came the stuffing of the napkins. The whole bed of the truck, the legs of the stocks, and the teepee were stuffed with napkins. Many students were involved in this stage of the production. The last step involved placing black paper trim around the bottoms of the side panels. The paper was then cut so that the bottom of the float was given a fringed look, Mr. Baker concluded. As head sponsor of the junior class, l deeply appreciate the co-sponsors of our class: Mr. Luper, Mr. Jeffries, Mr. Bryant, and Mr. Heard. We as sponsors all agree this was the greatest turnout of students of which we have ever worked with. lt is our pleasure to work with excellent workers who have a number one goalg that is to be winners, and winners they are. Homecoming '80 There were not as many entries b t the quality was better by John Cox There were not as many entries this year, but the quality and design of the floats was much greater, said Judy Walton, Student Council head sponsor. The 1980 homecoming parade, sporting the theme Movies, was a success which was evident by the 40 entries, and the amount of participation in the festivities this year. The Chamber of Commerce promoted spirit by doubling the cash prizes for the float competition to S50 for first place and 3525 for second place. Edging out the seniors, the juniors took first place in the high school division using Every Which Way But Loose, as their theme. The seniors chose Up in Smoke for their float, sophomores selected Dressed to Kill , and the freshmen elected to use The Shining. Middle school competition was won by the fifth graders, who chose the movie Super- man for their float. Taking second in this division was the eighth grade with their Kramer vs. Kramer float. The sixth and seventh grades picked The Empire Strikes Back and Close Encounters respec- tively. Freaky Friday won the kindergarten first place in the grade school division. The sec- ond grade placed second with the theme Grease Electric Horseman was the first graders' choice for a theme. The third grade selected The Pink Panther Strikes Back, while the fourth grade chose The Longest Yard. Carpentry class members took first in the clubs and organizations category, with the Feather of Many Colors club receiving sec- ond. The business category was won by Guinn's Nursing Home 923 and second place went to Guinn's Nursing Home fit. Tamara Blagg won the Best Decorated Bicycle award in the fourth through fifth grade contest and Donita Gullet captured the Best Dressed Rider award for the same category. Faith Wethey also won a Best Dressed Rider award for the sixth through eighth grade class. 10 - 13 Ra. '.. r e F x if f 'Y N . M i 'N-.5 2: .t T . , i A IL f '--,QM ARKA- ilf D S0 ril was ...

An eating survey conducted by Mr. Starts' Sociology class concluded that the most popular place for eating lunch is the Jay High School cafeteria. The 7-11 is the second most popular eating spot, and is on top of the list for junior and senior girls and the junior boys. Ranking third was the Tastee Freez, which was high on the list of freshman girls and boys, and sopho- more girls. Eating at home, surprisingly, was fourth in the poll, ranking second with the freshman, sophomore, and junior boys. Weaver's Corner polled fifth and was in the top five choices of the sopho- more, junior, and senior girls. The senior boys had their own choice for first place - The Daylight Donut Shop, which ranked high on the sophomore and senior girls' list also. Jay High School students' favorite food for lunch is hamburgers, followed closely by cafeteria food. Sandwiches and sodas ranked fourth and fifth respectively, and trench fries polled a high fifth. Most Jay students spent less than 352.50 a week for lunch, which is not surprising, because the majority eat in the cafeteria. 14 JL TOP FIVE EATING PLACES TOP FIVE FOODS jGrades 9-125 jGrades 9-129 cafeteria hamburgers 7-1 1 cafeteria foods Tastee Freez sandwiches home soda pop Weaver's Corner fries 'K NN Netherton Leaves Behind 43 Years by Brent Gill When Tom Netherton walked out the doors ofthe elementary school building last spring, he left behind 43 years contributed to education but took with him a wealth of memories. Mr. Netherton started his career as an admin- istrator in 1940 in a rural school in Delaware County called Ftaper. After serving as principal there for one year, he transferred to Clouds Creek in 1941. After a year at Clouds Creek, he went to Peters Prairie in 1942 and taught until 1946, when he transferred to Mt. Herman. Five years later, in 1951, he was teaching at Taylor. Before coming to Jay in 1962, he spent 11 years there. Mr. Netherton received his Bachelor of Sci- ence degree at John Brown University in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. He attended Northeastern State University in Tahlequah for two summers and transferred to Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, where he received his Master of Edu- cation degree. He continued his education by attending the University of Arkansas in Fayette- ville, and acquired his Administrative Certifi- Cate. Commenting on his philosophy of education, Mr. Netherton said, I enjoy helping children. I have always wanted to provide an environment for the boys and girls so they can develop the best they can. The biggest change Mr. Netherton has expe- rienced while working in the Jay Public School system, is in the involvement of the federal gov- ernment in the support and control of educa- tion. There are more rights promoted for the students and faculty, he added. Mr. Netherton's plans during his retirement include continuing his farming, a trip to the Northeast with his wife, Jauveda, and enjoying their 12 grandchildren. Mr. Netherton's hobbies include farming, traveling, and reading. He stated that someday he would like to write a book about some of the experiences he had in school as a child. He would also like to learn to paint. Mrs. Pat Shackelford, who has been a first grade teacher since Mr. Netherton came to Jay, had this comment to make: Mr. Netherton has been a good friend to the students as well as to the teachers. His utmost concern was always evident in his warm smile and friendly personal- ity. His life in the field of education can certainly be applied, as he retires, to the writing, 'Well done, thy good and faithful servant.' ADMINISTRATORS What do they do in their spare time?

Leonard Woods, member of the school board for 13 years, works as an inspector for the Cherokee Nation Housing Authority. His main duty is assignments to projects con- sisting of a number ot houses, streets, utilities, and other phases of construction. 2. Joe Benefield, presently a member of the board, has been independent truck driv- ing all over the state of Oklahoma for twenty-tive years. l-le hauls lumber and steel at an average of 3V2 days perweek. ,n 5 Work Nine-to-Five K VK, 1 x T Mr. Benefield has served on the Board of Edu- cation for ten years. Of the ten years, he has been clerk and vice-president for six years. The satisfaction that we have the best school in Oklahoma, best sums up Mr. Benefield's feel- ings concerning his rewards. 3. Currently clerk of the school board, Pat Rogers makes a living by devoting his time to his busi- nesses, the Diary Snack and Rogers Cabins in the Disney area. He has been general manager and Chief bottle washer for 23 years. Mr. Rogers has been a member of the board for four years, each year holding the office of clerk. Mr. Rogers feels that the satisfaction of being a part of a fine school system is a reward within itself as a board member. 4. Serving as a member of the school board for seven years, Stan Jones has been making a liv- ing for 13 years by managing his own business, the Grand River Abstract. His duties include being president and managing officer. Currently vice-president of the board, Mr. Jones has held other offices including president for two years and clerk for three years. An opportunity to participate in the manage- ment and policy making decisions which affect our most valuable resource, our young people. It is indeed rewarding to have had a small part in developing and maintaining an excellent school system for our children, comments Mr. Jones on rewards he receives as a member of the board. 5. Self satisfaction of seeing that we have the best school for our size in northeastern Oklahoma, best sums up the rewards Harold Lee has gained as an officer and member of the Board of Education. Mr. Lee has been serving on the board for 10 years while holding the offices of clerk and mem- ber for four years and president for six years. He currently holds the position of president. He is presently making a living as manager of the Grand Savings and Loan Association, where he is responsible for management and operations of the business. Board members do not get paid for their ser- vices to the school but a reward of seeing the Jay Public School System grow is more than enough payment to them. 19 by Brent Gill Farming. . . Hunting. . . Gardening. . . What do they have in common? These are just a few of the activities enjoyed by Jay Public School adminis- trators in their spare time. 1. When Warren Shackelford, high school prin- cipal, is not behind his desk working, he enjoys hunting coyotes, red fox, and wolves in his spare time. He owns eight registered Walker fox hounds he uses for his runs. Mt. Hermon and Pawnee, Oklahoma are two of many places where he hunts. He also attends county hunts in the spring and fall at the Chamber- land School House in Colcord. In Their Spare Time Mr. Shackelford commented, The best time to fox hunt is when the evening is cool, dewey, and not windy. Happy hunting, Mr. Shackelford! 2. After a day as assistant principal, Garry Brewster unwinds at home by tending his twenty head of cattle and a few hogs. Mr. Brewster has been livestock farming for nine years. He farms as a hobby and no income is involved. Very little time is spent on his farm during the school year, just general chores during the week and on weekends. Owning your own land and being able to grow your own feed, Mr. Brewster feels, are the keys to success in livestock farming. i l 3. Hard work and devotion, is what Superin- tendent C. Fi. Thornton puts into his two acre lawn during his spare time. He manages to work on his lawn at least one hour a day aside from his busy schedule. In addition, he keeps up the United Methodist Church lawn also. Cedar, pecan, and sycamore are just three of thirty-seven varieties of trees he has planted on his lawn. Masonry skills he acquired at the Afton Vo-Tech last spring have helped him in the construction of his flower beds and bar-b-que pit. After his retire- ment, he plans to use his newly acquired skill to build a cabin on his lake property. 4. Disliking hunting when he was growing up, Roy Drake, assistant superintendent, bought a coon dog from his father-in-law, and completely changed his mind about hunting. Mr. Drake enjoys sportsmanship coon hunting with his blue tick and plott hounds in the Delaware county area. He has been coon hunting for 13 years and enjoys the outdoors very much. Mr. Drake adds, No hunting night is the same. Everytime I go hunting, it's a different experience and that is what makes it interesting and worth- while. 'S Cr is 9 X ll! l! yn if ,, ,Ie r H WMM . f F nf 1 m wi. ,,. A 5. Fishing and hunting are on the agenda for Middle School principal Glen Hamby during his spare time. He has four dogs, two stock dogs from Arizona and two bird dogs, and loves to watch them work. His lifelong dream was to own his own home and property, and that is just where he does all of his hunting and fishing. He enjoys the outdoors a great deal, considering himself a naturalist. Mr. Hamby uses his spare time as an escape mechanism - to get away from it all. He agded, A person should enjoy what he does, and o. 6. Taking what you give them and they don't argue back is what Elementary principal Tom Netherton enjoys about cattle farming during his spare time. Mr. Netherton averages about two hours a day caring for and feeding approximately 85 head of Angus cattle at his Maysville home. He considers it a relief to come home from a busy day and tend to his farm. When commenting on farming, he offers this advice: Don't let it become a burden. Just enjoy it to the best of your ability. Whether their spare time is part of a living or just for relaxation, they all seem to enjoy their spare time a great deal. Janet Armstrong Business Terry Armstrong Drivers' Education Vernie O. D.

She now owns five Belgian sheepdogs, one Shetland sheepdog fShel- tiel , and one Papillon. Before showing one of her dogs, she gener- ally works with it a half hour per day, five to six days per week, for about two to three months. She has received over 100 trophies and is very proud of her dogs. Every one that she has shown has been rated in the top 10 for its breed in the national rating system.

Prices range from 319 95 to 3209 75 with frames This price could go higher if additional portraits are ordered. Seniors have several choices in relationship to their gowns. This year's gowns, although dis- posable, still cost a bundle. For example, if a senior plans to keep the gown, cap, and tassel, the cost will be 310. Returning the gown only saves the senior 31, since the cap and tassel costs 39. If all the senior keeps is the tassel, the fee drops to only 31.25. Another expense is the announcement. The announcement samples shown to the JHS committee range in cost from 186 to 366 each. The announcement agreed upon, by the com- mittee, will cost 326 each. Memory albums are very nice for seniors to have. These range in price from 33.75 to 37.50 each. Appreciation folders can be bought at a price varying from 33 to 37.50 each. Another item of interest to seniors are the senior keys. These vary in price from 36 to 310. An average order of announcements, name cards and accessory items will cost a JHS sen- ior of 1981 approximately 333. This may sound expensive but to have reached this goal in one's life is worth it.

Ring Prices Rise by Judy Snell During the school year juniors have to make many deci- sions. They must ponder questions such as: Who will I go to the prom with? What will l wear? Will l go to college after graduation next year? Then comes the question about class rings. Of what type metal do I want it made? What type of stone do I want to have in it? What decorations will I have put on the ring'? Possibly, the most outstanding question going through the students' minds would be, What will be the cost of the class ring I want? Mr. Jim Robertson, the Balfour company's representative to Jay High School, responded to an interview and gave some very informative replies regarding the cost and selection of class rings. As to the expense of the ring each student orders, Mr. Robertson says, The average student this year is going to Zpend around S140 working with a price range from S79 to 22O. On the subject of the choices of metals and extras, he commented, The students have a choice of seven metals and 149 optional sides for their class rings, There are also numerous stone choices and stone decorations. Class rings, namely gold rings, are steadily rising in cost. Even with the knowledge of this fact, students are still ordering gold rings. About 30 'Vu of Baltour's total class ring orders today are gold, according to Mr. Robertson. Ever wonder why gold rings are so expensive these days? He gave this reply, Ten years ago, we offered only rings in sterling silver and gold. Our prices were 527.50 for the girl's rings and 532.50 forthe boy's ring. At that time. we were buying gold shipped and insured to our plant for S38 per ounce. Today, we have to pay the going market price for refined gold which is usually 3510 to S15 an ounce above the open raw material prices you hear on the news. This is the main factor. The boy's ring when manufactured in 10K has just a little under V4 ounce of raw gold in it before anything is figured for stones, other alloys and manufacturing cost. This is Mr. Robertson's prediction for the future of gold rings, From the information we are receiving now, gold will slowly go up to S1200 to S1400 per ounce and stabilize there. This would mean that the cost of gold rings would be very prohibitive and probably drop our percentage of gold rings purchased to 1 to 206 of the total sales. Future juniors will still be asking some ofthe same ques- tions but if Mr. Robertson's predictions are correct, they will not have to question the metal their ring is made of.

Teri had these comments, The dinner turned out very well. l made ham anc beans and the others made various other dishes that were common in the Old West. The girls served about 20-25 people according to Teri. Jon said that it took them about one week to prepare, The girls prepared most of the meal, but the barbecue venison was 2 special deal. it was prepared by Hopper Hanna of Jay with hi: secret barbecue sauce, Juanita Sloan, a student of the same class, had this compli ment about the dinner, Mmmmm Good!

The eggs were given to me by Jeff Greenfeather and I kept them in an incubator, stated Joe 5. According to him, at the end of the incubation period, only three of the 17 eggs hatched. The rest of them hadn't even begun to develop. l fed the baby quail hard-boiled eggs and cornmeal. They were kept in a box with a light for heat, he explained. As for the survival of the tiny creatures, none of the three that hatched lived more than two weeks. One died while hatching, one died after about one week, and the other lived about one and one-half weeks. This quail-raising experiment was an independent study project. Baby quail are hard to raise in captivity. I had heard this statement before, and now I have found it to be true, Joe 5 claimed. 56 - Sophomores Q '5'-fitff'-r F? at Q ' 4 -0 f , ' 1 55 ee Y A 4 1 hr at N- if W r we-32 '7 .

Kenneth Jones as X Students Build Frontier City by Kristy Bolton Ice cream sticks, chat, old newspapers, glue, cardboard scraps, and lots of hard work - this is what goes into the building of a town, ac- cording to Virginia Hare's workfstudy class. For an American history project, her students constructed a model of a pioneer town com- plete with hotel, saloon, jailhouse, log cabin, barn, water wheel, windmill, general store, gallows, and even an out-house. They got the idea from a field trip taken to Har-ber Village during the first week in Oc- tober. Combining these ideas with what they had learned in class, each one individually designed and built their own projects. Con- struction took about 2V2 weeks as students recreated a part of history. Like the colonists, they had to learn to make do with the materials available. Through this project, they discovered more about how their forefathers lived. Aside from being a learning experience however, the entire class agreed that they had a lot of fun building their town and, ofcourse, showing it off. A contest was conducted to judge the pro- jects according to their appropriateness of era, creativity, and workmanship. First place went to the gallows, built by Tommy Anderson and Sam King. The church, done by Mary King, came in second, and Tom King's water wheel was third. Others who helped build the pioneer town were Ann Castro, Darryl Chunestudy, Judy Denny, Alan Tanner, Pam Trout, and Sara Webb.

Mother Shoots Sports by Susan Collier A common sight at a lot of Jay athletic events is a petite blonde with a camera. She is JoNell Guinn, the mother of Robbie and Lisa Guinn. JoNell started using a camera two years ago. She began on her own with the basics and later went to Afton Vo-Tech to learn darkroom techniques. She uses a Minolta that has nothing automatic on it. You really can't learn about photography oy having an all-automatic camera, claims Ms. Guinn. Photography started out as a hobby, but last year she started taking pictures for the yearbook. Taking pictures is really an outlet for me. I can pick up the camera and just start shooting, she stated. Her favorite subject is facial expressions because she is fascinated by them. Outdoor scenery is also a favorite. ls photography contagious? It must be, she joked, Hmy kids are addicted to it now!

It is all part of the new preschool special educa- tion program at Jay Schools. This program is designed to help handicap- ped children with their special learning problems before they reach school age. The program is divided into two classes. The first class is held inthe mornings and is geared for infants and children up to four years of age. Five-year-olds come to the Pre- Kindergarten class in the afternoons. All together, Mrs. Betsy O'Day, head of the program, has 12 students. She is assisted by Mrs. Jan Hendren and two student aids. This is Jay's first year to have anything like this in its public schools system. Ac- cording to Mrs. O'Day it had been a great asset to the school and has proved beneficial beyond her ex- pectations. We've had a lot of problems getting the program on its feet, she commented, but we've also seen a lot of improvement. Fourth - 75 76 - Third ,.

The Drop Everything And Read KDEARJ program has now been in effect f two years in the elementary school. DEAF? was started by the State Department Education. lt was designed in the hope that aside from their busy schedule, th children could read for their enjoyment. Everything is dropped and a book is opened at 2:55 and closed at 3:10 daily Kindergarten through fifth grade, cooks, janitors, teachers, secretaries, and ad ministration participate. In the eyes of the teachers, this program has encouraged the kids to read more and enjoy it. A third grade teacher, Athelene Lewis stated, I think it helps the children to have the opportunity to share their ideasg it helps to express feelings and it also helps them to read better. lf! i few' far-if I fix jx was as n A 'FN Chris Caywood Rodney Chewey Derek Craig Chad Crank Clayton Crone Chad Cunningham Vickie Cunningham Joe Curry Tara Davidson Billy Dixon Brian Duffield Angela Dunham Shane Dunham Rebecca Earp Lance Fields Steven Fisher Billie Jo Fox Wayne Goins Denise Guinn Waylon Henderson Vickie Hicks Amanda Hogshoofer Arron Holcombe Jimmy Hollenback Patrick Holt Kim Huddleston Frankie Hutchison Tracy Hutchison Sue Jackson Theresa Jacobs Christy Johnson Billy Johnson Tammy Jones Tonnya Jones Scottie King Rodney Kingfisher Shawn Kirby Stoney Kirby Kathy Knight Kurt Lane Shawn Lawson Jennifer Layton Michele Lewis Brenda Loftis Lynn Long Thesa Long Shephanie Linn Kim Matin Third - 77 78 - Third Shane Matthews Dawn McKinley Don McKinley Larry Nichols Bryan Norton Jamie Nunley Brandon O'Field Jerry Ogden Stephen Pendergraft Angela Pickup Polly Proctor Carl Rauch Preston Riggs Bonnie Rippetoe Rhonda Richie John Roberts Norman Roberts James Roberson Garland Runabout Pam Scott Todd Sebastian Gwendolyn Sharp Clark Sherman Larry Sloan Steve Sloan Rebecca Soldier Tommie Spencer Tommy Starr Debra Summerfield Leroy Summerfield Kevin Swaim Carolee Tanner Felecia Thomas Daniel Turner Canan Vidquri Sequoyah Williams Vickie Wilson Scott Winfield James Wolfe .fx ,, lf. .fx ,A -sq- 219. .ow 'fx ,ite ' ,, , an 22 ia x, if ' fp? 9 A Q , f . fl if ll 9' l f f V L ,Q M 1 -Q, -it iilii i up y t J, -A J tg J J iiits J ' A 195.75 V'l ' 'Q ' 4 i T 'A -1 fy , . , siy 4' , .,, , 4, U Q, .Q,, ,HQ , ,,, - . ,,,., .E k,,, ,,, , Z N' 1 -Q.

Not only does it provide meaningful part-time volunteer opportunities for low-income per- sons, she explained, but children who have exceptional needs benefit from the warm friendship, interest, understanding, in- dividualized attention, unhurried help and personal care that only a granny can give. The existence of the FGP in Northeast Oklahoma began in 1967. The first gran- nies entered the Jay Public School system three years later. They began working in the Head Start Program and have since spread to other areas. Presently, six grannies are in- volved in different programs throughout the school. lt's a new experience every day, com- mented Effie Jones. She and Gladys Phillips are grannies in the Kindergarten depart- ment. They both said that they enjoyed working with the children and, as Mrs. Phillips added, seeing their happy faces throughout the day. The two other grannies in the elementary are Mary Goins, who works in the LD class, and Leona Wilkins in the EMH class. When asked to relate their favorite experience, Mrs. Goins said, Every time the children come up to us and hug our neck and say 'l love you '. However, it was hard for them to narrow it down to one experience because, according to Mrs. Wilkins, Everything is exciting. ' ln the high school, Mildred Garber works with the LD class, and Lillie Robertson is the granny in the EMH Work!Study class. Both said that they have become very attached to their students. I even call them my second family, stated Mrs. Robertson. The teachers with whom these ladies work feel that their granny is irreplaceable. Mrs. Cearley spoke for them all when she said, The class can't make it without Granny. She is part of the glue that holds the room together. 89 Marlene Allen Elem.

Aide Secretaries Keep School Running Smoothly by Brent Gill Tap, tap, tap .. . ring, ring ring . . . shuffle, shuffle, shuffle these sounds may not be familiar to you but they are very familiar to the secretaries of the Jay School System. The secretaries help keep the school system flowing smoothly, and Melba Cate, Title IV - A secretary, is no exception. Mrs. Cate has been working for the Jay School System as a secretary and aide for eight and one-half years. She started out as the high school principal's secretary in 1969. In 1971, she resigned only to return in 1974 as a library aide in the middle school. After three years, she transferred to the elementary in 1977, where she was an office aide and bookkeeper for the lunch program. She came back to the high school in 1979, where she currently works as Raymond Postoak's secretary. I-Ier duties, other than the general typing, fil- ing, and phone answering, are centered around the Johnson-O'MaIIey and Title IV - A pro- grams. She assists parents and students in '12 . obtaining Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood tCDIBj cards. She gathers necessary data for the Indian Verification Form 506. Maintaining a list of new JOM students each year and sched- uling eye appointments for eligible students under the Title IV - A program are the other duties and responsibilities she performs. Commenting on the enjoyable aspects of her job, she said, I enjoy working with the stu- dents, faculty, and administration. The atmos- phere is very pleasant and I enjoy what I do. Us X-b Bud Earp behlnd the wheel of bus nine. Earp Contributes 33 Years to School Bus Safety When I started driving, the buses had wooden seats with one long wooden bench down the middle, and our routes took about two hours, morning and night because we covered so much territory. Now it takes about an hour, explained Bud Earp, who has been driving a bus 33 years for the Jay School system. He started driving a Jay school bus in 1948. When we drove then, we only had seven busesg I drove bus four for three years, and then drove bus seven for about a yearg I then started driving bus nine, and still do. We had to cover a large area, l covered what they used to call Clouds Creek. Now I cover the Piney and Oak Hill areas, he added. He recalled the past, l've had trouble with the weather a time or two. l don't recall the year, but it started snowing while school was in, and I never got the route finished. Had to leave the bus and even take some of the kids home to stay with me. I never did have any trouble with kids, he smiled, always had a full load and still do - none are standing though. Bud Earp has never had an accident on the route, and is the only original driver still in driving service with the Jay School system. With a record and devotion like this, we can feel sate and proud of his accomplishments. Bus Drivers Play Role in Education by Brent Gill What makes driving a school bus worthwhile? Perhaps it is getting the students to school for an education, as many of the bus drivers of the Jay School system agreed. Bus drivers are required to pass a state examination and a week of school before driving. Along with a chauffer's license, bus drivers must also attain from the state a license which must be renewed every year. The duties and responsibilities of our bus drivers include keeping the students under control while the bus is in motion and making sure they get them to and from school safely. Bus drivers start their routes at approximately 7:15 in the morning in order to arrive at the schools at 8:30 a.m. When asked to compare driving a school bus today with driving one a few years ago, all drivers agreed, We have much better equipment to work with. lt is 75 My better than it used to be. Also, the students are much better disciplined, which makes a difference. Jack Brown, bus chief for the school system for 12 years, has the responsibility of guaranteeing that every bus will operate when needed. He interviews new bus drivers and has the task of helping new students locate the bus they should ride. Commenting on changes he has seen in his service to the school, Mr. Brown replied, Our bus system is much safer than it used to be a few years ago and the bus drivers have to be more qualified and have to go through a lot of work to acquire their llcenses. Bus drivers of the Jay school system are responsible for every passenger they transport. We can say they are doing a very fine job. Keep up the good work, bus drivers! 1. Bus drivers relax at the bus barn. 2. Bus chief Jack Brown washes his bus. Bobert January, driver of bus number 16, works as a bus mechanic during school hours, Driver of bus number 5, Bill Gann also serves as a mechanic during school hours.

Mrs. Betty Johnson, head cook in the high school cafeteria, states, lt takes from the time we get here, to the time lunch is served to prepare both breakfast and lunch. She, with the help of other cooks, set up a six-week menu cycle which involves state regulations on how much is to be served. The school system serves an average 1,092 students daily, in the cafeterlas combined. Guess work is mainly involved in the preparation of the meals. Each cook has a special duty they perform. There are salad makers, bakers, main dish and choice cookers. Knowing we are pleasing the students, is the satisfaction Mrs. Johnson and the rest of the cafeteria staff receive while working in the cafeteria. The cafeteria rated as the number one place to eat among the high school students in a survey conducted by the Year- book staff. The cooks' cookie recipe won first place in a bake-off between area schools in Northeast Oklahoma last spring. The cafeteria cooks work hard to please the students in the school system and they seem to be doing a very good job of it. 1.

The duties and responsibilities of our custo- dians include keeping the lawns clean and mowed, making sure the school buildings are safely locked, and general cleaning and repair. Dedicating 28 years to the school system, elementary custodian Slim Dunaway feels the biggest change he has seen in his service has been the expansion of the elementary, middle, and high schools. Imogene Dykes and Larry Kingfisher, also elementary custodians, get the satisfaction of completing the cleaning and maintenance of the elementary in time for a new school year. Aside from just enjoying the students and faculty, Cephus Sourjohn and John Summer- field, middle school custodians, become at- tached to the students and say it is hard to realize they can't stay in the middle school forever. Truman Bingham and Scotty Oswick, who have contributed a combined 15 years of cleaning and maintenance to the high school, enjoy being around the students and faculty, also. The most noticeable change both custo- dians have seen over the years has been the attitude of the students. They have been more respectful of the faculty and school pro- perty, commented Scotty. Staying later after school functions and cleaning up the gym, is the dedication that Ralph Feather puts into his work as the gym custodian. Ralph has contributed four years of service to the school system. Some of the custodians spend most of their summer vacation cleaning and fixing our schools so they will be ready for the next school year. We commend them for their hard work and dedication in making our schools clean and beautiful.

Many images flood my mind: most of them blank. However, I do remember sitting in class as a stu- dent and thinking that if I were the teacher, I would do things differently. Teachers are on display before a live audience every day, for better or worse, and most ofthe time I had the chance to learn under unique gifted people who were people I wished to beIike. The final reason I became a teacher is that a prayer from many of my former teachers was answered by God. Over and over, they said, 'One day I hope you become a teacher and your students pay you back for all the things you've done to me'l Mr. Starts was chosen Teacher of the Year for the 1980-81 school year by members of the faculty. Through his special attention and devotion to the Jay school system, students have grown in knowledge and have left his classroom with a sincere feeling of accomplishment. By sponsoring numerous classes and organizations, Mr. Starts has gained the respect of a true leader and dedicated organizer. Through the years, Stan Starts has gathered bits and pieces of informa- tion and formed a personal opinion every teacher holds near to his or her heart. Here is only a fragment of his philosophy: There are so many ways a teacher affects the future lives of his students beside the professional im- age that one presents in the classroom. One can not begin to judge the personal and emotional joy that students feel when their teacher appears at an extracurricular event to see them perform. However, the teacher must play fairly with all students by attempting to attend a sampling of all types of school ac- tivities ranging from sports events to displays of artistic expression. .12 ,I We-W, lg time ' .. ml Start Starts - Teacher of the Year Mr. Starts assists Cleve Loy with a math problem.

The council sponsored three dances during the school yearg the Homecoming dance, which was open to the alumnig a Christmas dance, and a Western Day dance held in the spring. The group presented two movies - The Mup- pet Movie, and Coal Miner's Daughter. Mem- bers helped with the organization of the Home- coming parade and festivities, and they, along e with the cheerleaders, promoted spirit during Beat,Grove Week. In addition to these activities, the Student Coun- cil also holds responsibilities of service. Keeping l ff the marquee up to date and giving the morning js i exercises is a big part of the council members' daily services. l 3 1 P780 Student Council members are also in charge of the balloting for the election of Mr. and Ms. JHS and Best All-Around students, and they also elect a Student of the Quarter at the end of each nine weeks. For the first time in recent years, they provided music over the intercom on the last day before Christ- mas break. Council President Bill Roberts, revealed his final thoughts of the school year, Student Council has played a big part in making my senior year an important one, the value of taking on responsibilities will always be with me. 123 Club Promotes Art Appreciation by John Cox Publishing the 1981 art anthology Distant Memories is a big job within itself. For the art club, it is only a small part of their year. One purpose of the art club is to promote art appreciation throughout the school. During the year, club mem- bers went on field trips to various museums and to various art exhibitons. They displayed numerous paintings in the front lobby of the high school, thus stimulating the interest of fellow peers. The club also painted Christmas scenes for Jay merchants and painted the run-throughs for the human tunnel at the football games. They also participated in the Festival of the Arts Show in the spring.

Club members participate in the Christmas program at the community center. it if you hear a group of stu- dents prancing down the hall singing, they're either extremely jubilant or they are a member of the vocal music class. ln its second year, the group has been very active. They have performed before the Delaware County O.E.A.g sang at the Thanks- giving and Christmas pro- grams, while the girls ensemble provided enter- tainment at a variety of socials. The group also partici- pated in music festivals held at Tahlequah and Stillwater, and brought home honors from a Miami contest. Ending their year on an excellent note, the choir sang at the annual spring concert and provided the music at the graduation ceremonies. 125 by Judy Snell The swish of the ink pen against the paper . . . the tapping of a typewriter . . . the opening and closing of the door the many voices of staff members . .. laughter. These are but a few of the many sounds that one may hear in Mrs. Round's room during the produc- tion of the Bulldog Growl. Sixteen people worked throughout the school year, gathering information to print in the Growl, which has been in publication for 46 years now. This year's staff members included: senior Jim Richie, editor, senior John Cox, sports editorg juniors Judy Snell and Burl Cox, sports reporters, seniors Kristy Bolton and Susan Collier and juniors Brent Gill and Juanita Muggs Sloan, feature writers, seniors Tresa Raper, Cherie Turner, Elesa Robertson, Dimita Sullivan, and junior Mickey Phillips, activities reporters, senior Lori Mason and junior Laura Martin, grade and middle school reportersg Larinda January, reproduction managerg and Carol Round, advisor. These people all work together to put together a school paper that is informative as well as entertaining, a paper that has something for everyone in school. ln recognition of their hard work, the Growl staff members won the award for Best All-Around Newspaper in its class for the third consecutive year at Press Day held at NSU on April 10. They also won first place in Class A Mimeograph News: third place in Class A Mimeograph feature writingg and second in Class A Mimeograph sports. Individual awards went to Jim Richie, second in newswritingp John Cox, second in sports writingg Susan Collier, second in feature writing, and Elesa Robertson, third place in newswriting. As editor, Jim Richie said, My duties as editor were to write editorials as well as writing stories assigned to me by Mrs. Round. I enjoyed my work very much and l appreciate the opportunity to work with the Growl staff this year. John Cox, sports editor, wrote stories about varsity football, varsity boys basketball and varsity boys track. Judy Snell and Burl Cox were sports reporters for this year's staff. Judy wrote about varsity girls softball and varsity girls basketball. Burl covered varsity wrestling and varsity girls track. Juanita Muggs Sloan, Brent Gill, Kristy Bolton and Susan Collier were feature writers. Some of their stories include: John, Sharon Named Top Students, by Muggsg Teacher has Variety in Career Background, by Susan and Senior Girls Serve in Oklahoma City, by Kristy. Tresa Raper, Mickey Phillips, Cherie Turner, Elesa Robertson and Dimita Sullivan were activities writers for this year's staff. They wrote informative stories on club and organization happenings, class activities, dismissal days for holidays, school assemblies, and stories of that nature. Grade and middle school reporters, Laura Martin and Lori Mason, reported all of the happenings of the younger folks such as 4-H Club news, class activities and assemblies. Larinda January was the Lady behind the presses. She ran all of the duplicating machines and helped put the paper together. After one paper is produced all the noise in Mrs. Round's room dies down for a while, but not for long as all the staff members start the process all over again, But all of this is just a part of putting out a prize-winning school newspaper. 1.

Meet the Staffs + ' . ,J rr Wr fa ,Maia vans :X Bulldog Style What goes into the making of a school yearbook? There are many elements to the answer to this question, since it takes many individuals working together to achieve the finished product. This year's Bulldog yearbook staff consisted of nine members and advisor Carol Round. They all took their share of responsibility selling advertisements, identifying photos, selling annuals, writing, and other aspects in the production of the yearbook. Debi Snowder, Rhonda Sloan, and Charlotte Bray were this year's staff photographers. These girls were members of this year's photography class. Mrs. Round assigned the photos to be shot and these girls would do the rest. John Cox, Judy Snell, and Brent Gill wrote the feature stories for the annual. They covered a variety of sub- jects and wrote entertaining stories for their contribution in the Bulldog's production. Bill Roberts was this year's staff Gofer. He would go for this and go for that as he ran errands for Mrs. Bound and other yearbook staffers. Larinda January, Juanita Muggs Sloan, and Dimita Sullivan carried their share of the load this year as they made rough-drafts of the pages, filled out quad-packs, identified photos, and typed copy. It takes all these people fulfilling their specific duties to put together an enjoyable and entertaining yearbook. by Judy Snell F! gr gm K 1 E If 'S Y E E 1.

Through periodic meetings, the athletes have a chance to come together, to pray, have a short lesson, and have a good time. FCA gives the athlete a challenge to look for the moral values of life that he or she will carry on in later life. Jay's FCA sports a 68 member club. The Christian athletes gave away a stuffed white poodle and a box of candy in a drawing held around Valentine's Day. Members also sold first aid kits with the profits going towards their goal of a float trip at the end of the school year. More than 40 ball players were also privileged to hear Billy Severus, who plays baseball for the Milwaukee Brewers Triple- A farm club. Mr. Severus gave a testimony on his life and his early ball-playing days. FCA gives student athletes an opportunity to honor God, and a future know-how to understand the true meaning of life. .l 1.

Sponsor Eppel Taylor and co-sponsor Stan Starts are just a couple of reasons why the Beta Club is such an active and fun group. Besides having interesting meetings and an initiation party at Mrs. Taylor's house, the club has helped with various com- munity and school activities. The Beta Club collected money for the Heart Fund through a Jump-for-Hearts- Rope-a-thon. They bought and decorated a Christmas tree for the high school and in conjunction with the vocal music class sang Christmas songs at the nursing homes. The Chamber of Commerce donated the Beta Club over S250 for their participation in the Halloween Haunted House and for work- ing at the Chamber's Pancake Day. The Beta Club also sponsored the annual Beta- Faculty basketball game where all proceeds led to their State Convention in Oklahoma City. 1.

George Gibson and Mark Nichols, who are president and vice-president of the Forestry team respectively, garnered two second place awards. 131 CI Learning a new language may sometimes be a difficult task, but the Spanish Club of Jay does it with style. Besides learning a new language, the club widened their train of knowledge by doing vari- ous projects. They went on a field trip to the Tulsa Mabee Center to see a Spanish group perform some of their dances and sing songs from Spanish countries. The club also sent their names off to foreign lands, like Germany, France, Spain, England, and Turkey in hopes of receiving pen pals. The Spanish Club has two members who are at ease with the Spanish language. The new members are Angela Fabela from Mexico and Elena Moro from Costa Rica. ub Learns New Language 1.

Perhaps the key word is PRIDE. K Club members participated in Indian Herit- age Week, played basketball in the FHA intramural tournament, and built a float for the 1980 homecoming festivities. Enriching their knowledge of their ancestry, the club took a trip to the Red River Museum in Bro- ken Bow, attended a play at the Performing Arts Center in Tulsa, and wrote book reports on famous Indians. Through their various activities, others are shown just how important it is to take pride in heritage, and the Feather of Many Colors Club surely does. 133 Business Classes Form Organization FBLA offers a learning enrichment for those who get involved.

Mr. Little teaches Drafting l, ll, and Ill. Drafting I consists of learning the fundamentals of basic drafting and getting a basic knowledge of the drafting instruments. ln Drafting ll, students make house plans. There are no rules concerning the house's looks, just as long as it is energy efficient. Drating ill goes back to the basics and when the instructor feels a student is ready to move on to something more difficult, he does. Some of the subjects covered are electronics, airbrushing, silkscreening, and sheet metal. 1. Drafting ll student Ronnie Reece works on a set of floor plans. 2.

M K W V UONATED BY Jay High's Lady Bulldog softball team captured the District Champion- ship by smashing the Eagles of Sequoyah-Claremore and was defeated by the Collinsville Cardinals in their quest for the Regional title. This year's team was the best team Jay High School has had in the past couple of years according to Coach Butch Winfield. The team was better offensively and defensively than in pre- vious years. The team's resulting record for this year was 12-6. The team consisted of Lee Shambaugh and Lori Mason, sen- iors, Leslie Brown, LeAnn Woods, Judy Snell, Cindy Jones, Brenda Allen, Joni Bell, and Lisa Sharp, juniorsg Liz Sta- pleton, Cindy Brown, Carla Hudson, Tammy Chalakee, Robin Sperry, Sta- cey Allen, Rose Ballou, and Dana Jo Sherman, sophomores, and Noma Coble, freshman. 1.

Lady Bulldogs Lose State Bid Jay High School's Lady Bulldog asketball team finally received their ell-earned number-one ranking this ear. lt took a lot of hard work - unning, doing drills, lots of sweating, prained ankles, twisted knees, ruises, and many, many, hours pent in the gym - in order to erfect their game. The girls were built up, only to be let down by two crushing losses to the Vinita Hornets, once in the Regional finals and the last one in the Area Consolation finals, which kept lthe Lady Bulldogs out of the State ournament. The Lady Bulldogs won the Bartlesville College High Basketball Tournament power-houses Bartlesville Sooner and Claremore. Winning this tournament gave the Lady Bulldogs their number-one ranking. Sheila Buzzard, Lee Shambaugh, and Leann Woods were named to the All-tournament team. Lee, forthe second year in a row, was named Most Inspirational Player. Jay also walked away with the first place trophy from the Pryor invita- itional Tournament held January 19- l24. The Lady Bulldogs captured the title by defeating Pawhuska, Ket- chum, and Stilwell. The game with Stilwell was a tough one, the Lady Bulldogs having to come from behind to win, 65-60. Lee Shambaugh, Robin Sperry, Leann Woods, and Leslie Brown were named to the All-tournament team. It was a pretty good year for Coach Butch Winfield, who, along with assistant Coach Diwayne Col- lins, won game number 100 in the five years that he has been coaching girls' basketball at Jay. Number 100 came during the regular season after the Lady Bulldogs whipped the Inola Longhorns. Coach Winfield was surprised with a cake and a plaque from the Jay Booster Club after the game. The team members also presented a cake to their coach. The girls had a fantastic regular season, ending with an unblemished 21-0 record. The Lady Bulldogs cap- tured the Will Rogers Conference championship. The conference was made up of Jay, Sequoyah- Claremore, Adair, Kansas, Salina, Chouteau, lnola, Chelsea, and Locust Grove. Coach Winfield was named the Will Rogers Conference Coach of the Year. Coach of the Year is decided by the coaches of the teams in the Will Rogers Conference getting together and voting. He received a plaque forthe honor. The Lady Bulldogs' game plan mainly relied on quickness since the team had only one real tall player, Lee Shambaugh a 5'11 forward. This year's offense was more balanced than in previous years so Lee had a lot of help. Sophomores Sheila Buzzard and Robin Sperry started along with Shambaugh. Lee averaged 27.2 points a game. Robin and Sheila averaged 14.3 and 16.6 points, respectively. Coach Winfield's second squad of forwards consisted of Holly Brewster, LeAnna Coble, Judy Snell, and Sarah Shotpouch. These girls finished out most of the games this season. Coach Collins, who worked mainly with the Lady Bulldog guards, had quite a unique rotation system this year. The team had a lot of depth on defense, with nine guards seeing ac- tion in almost every game. He would substitute the guards three at a time, or as he needed each individual. The first squad was usual- ly made up of juniors Leslie Brown and Leann Woods, and sophomore Liz Stapleton. They would play the first half of a quarter then the second squad would check in. Group number two consisted of senior Lori Mason, and juniors Sarah Rowley and Joni Bell. On several occasions the third group of guards would finish out the entire Second half. The third group included sophomores Carla Hudson and Ciny Brown, and freshman Michelle Denny. Since the team relied heavily on quickness, the guards would pressure and forwards would go man-to-man on the press. In some games height really wasn't a main factor, but in other games it was, as in the game with Claremore who had a 6'1 forward. They also had two tall guardsg one was 6'3 and the other was 5'10 . Vinita had a 6f1 forward and 5'10 forward. Jay was named District Champs on February 21 by defeating Locust Grove. The Lady Bulldogs then ad- vanced to the first round of the Regional tournament which was held 5-7. ln order to gain a berth to the state tournament, the Ladies had to win three consecutive games. Jay breezed by the Prague Red Devils, squeaked by the Oologah Mustangs, then played their final game against the Vinita Hornets. After completely over-powering Prague, the Lady Bulldogs had to come from a seven-point halftime deficit to win, in double-overtime, 57-55. In the consolation finals, Jay was up against Vinita again and the girls were out to revenge their earlier loss to the Hornets. The Lady Bulldogs, before a standing room only crowd, fell to Vinita for the last time despite Jay's unbelievable come- back from being down by 15 points. The resulting score, with Vinita winn- ing by three points, was 62-59. Thus ended the Lady Bulldogs' hard- fought journey toward fulfilling their dream. Senior forward Lee Shambaugh was named to the Oklahoma High School All-State Girls Basketball team. She is the third all-state player from Jay in the last four years. She joins Lisa Woods from 1978 and Bonnie Ketcher from 1980. When she was a sophomore she averaged 21.36 points a game and as a junior averaged 27.28 points a game. This year she averaged 27.2 points per game, often playing only half a game. Lee was also named player of the year by radio station KURM of Rogers, Arkansas. Lee, along with Lori Mason, senior guard, was nam- ed to the KURM Dream Team made up of area players. All-Conference players include Lee, juniors Leslie Brown and Leann Woods, and sophomore Sheila Buzzard. Even though the Lady Bulldogs didn't have the success of going to the State Tournament three straight years, they had success as a team who stuck together throughout all the tough times. They stuck together through the good times, too. They brought state-wide recognition to Jay High School. They were the topic of conversation in almost every household in Jay. For the two graduating seniors, these years of being a part of suc- cessful basketball teams will be with them always. Jay fans will be cheer- ing the rest of the team on in the coming years as this year's team consisted mainly of juniors and sophomores. Jay fans will have many more exciting Lady Bulldog basket- ball teams to cheer on in the future. 1980-81 Basketball Season Jay Opponent 51 Locust Grove 40 73 Chelsea 30 85 Chouteau 71 61 Salina 42 92 lnola 55 70 Kansas 52 63 Adair 49 71 Sequoyah 54 84 Locust Grove 49 80 Chouteau 38 74 Kansas 61 60 Salina 48 75 lnola 40 86 Sequoyah 65 87 Chelsea 69 Y. 162 ,,.,..f ?

For John Cox, Derek Holland, Cecil Weeks, and Darryl Chunestudy, their high school basketball days are just a memory, but their recollection of the past will be a special memory. Each one of these seniors played a par- ticular part in the success ot the rearrr Derek was a three-sport star, whose lightning-quick speed paced the Bulldogs to a 16-9 record and a Regional playoff berth. He also scored points in the Will Rogers All-Star game. Cecil Weeks was also a three-sport star. His muscular build brought strength to the inside play, and his un- noticed talent quietly put away many of the Bulldogs' opponents. Darryl Chunestudy added extra strength to the Bulldogs' outside shooting, averaging 15.0 points a game. Darryl also captured All-Conference honors and made the All-Tournament team at Grove. Six foot four inch John Cox added another dimension to the Bulldogs' game plan, the battle of the big men. John averaged 14.9 points a game and grabbed 9.5 rebounds a game. He also was named to the Pryor lnvita- tional All-Tournament team. The Bulldogs provided many exciting games for Jay fans. The boys won nine home games and only lost one home game, losing to the seventh-rated lnola Longhorns by one point in the last few seconds. Excitement was the name of the game for the Bulldogs. Scoring 104 points against Sequoyah-Claremore, winning with one se- cond on the clock on Salina's home courtg and going into double overtime at Locust Grove, with Robby Guinn's two despera- tion shots, were just a few of what was an exciting year. E I e v e n ot h e r basketball players are still looking to the future at Jay. Robby Guinn, who started this season will be a big asset to next year's team. Robby averaged 11.8 points a game, scoring over 20 points in various games. He was also picked for the 1981 All-Star team in the W i l I R o g e r s Conference. Burl Cox, Brent Nichols, Mike Sham- baugh, Johnny Roberts, Mitchell Earp, Troy Orr, LaRay Scroggins, Dale Stewart, Tommy Layton, and Mark Nichols have a bright future to look forward to. As for the seniors of the Bulldogs' basketball team, it will b e a t i m e t o remember. 5. 1980-81 Varsity Basketball team members include lfrom left to righti Front row: Tommy Layton, Mike Shambaugh, Darryl Chunestudy, Derek Holland, Johnny Roberts, Mitchell Earp, Dale Stewart, Back row: Cecil Weeks, Troy Orr, Robby Guinn, John Cox, Brent Nichols, Burl Cox, Mark Nichols, LaRay Scroggins. 1 ,: tt .

The record books will be rewritten as almost all of the varsity records were either broken or tied during the course of the season. A number of top ten ranked teams were upset by the Bulldog matmen, however, the rankings somehow always overlooked the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs finished the season by qualifying two wrestlers for the state meetp David Cope at 130 and Jeff Stapleton at 178.

K by Judy Snell Jay High's Lady Bulldogs track team had a pretty successful season, ending it by sending three girls to the State Meet held in Oklahoma City. The Lady Bulldog tracksters posted their greatest victory of the season when they ran away with the first place trophy from the Will Rogers Conference Track Meet held April 21 at Jay. They defeated Class-A, two-time State Champion Adair. On March 27, Jay traveled to Sequoyah-Claremore and finished third. March 31 saw the Lady Bulldogs taking third at the Benton- ville Tiger Relays. They traveled to the Kansas Relays on April 4 and placed fourth. The Lady Bulldog trackers brought home a fifth place finish out of a field of 24 participants from the Adair Relays. They snared third place when they traveled out-of-state to the Riverton Relays. The Lady Bulldogs finished third at the Class 2-A Regional track meet held at Webster of Tulsa on April 25. At the State Meet, the girls participating brought home seventeenth place. ln order to advance to the State Meet, participants had to place in the top three of their event in the Regionals. Sheila Buzzard qualified for State by winning first in the high jump and second in the 220 hurdles. Lisa Sharp qualified by winning the mile, and Michelle Denny qualified by taking third place in the shotput.

Led by the strength of the three relay teams, the Bulldogs collected four second place trophies, one third place trophy, and captured fourth place in three events. The Bulldogs ended the season by winning their third consecutive Will Rogers Conference track meet, outscoring the second place Sequoyah Eagles by 30 points. Capping off a successful year, Jay sent five athletes to the State track meet in Oklahoma City. Sophomore George Gibson participated in the pole vault, and the two-mile relay team consisting of Cecil Weeks, Brent Nichols, John Crouch, and Derek Holland placed third in the state. Derek, who became an All-Stater by being on the 1980 two-mile relay state champs, became Jay's only two time state champion. He won his specialty, the 880-yard run, in a time of 1158.9 minutes. For Derek and all of the other track par- ticipants, their hard work and long hours had paid oft. 1.
