Ringmaster Rodd launches school with Student Council patio circus Happy Face tags worn by a majority of students the opening week of school evidenced the new optimistic attitude toward student activities which predominated in Knightland. Sweeping changes in the activity program were launched by the new activities director, Mrs. Patrisha Nicholson, and her Leadership Committee. A new concept in student govern- ment was initiated by 12 officers and committees meeting regularly all summer to plan projects. Noontime events on the patio the first week included turtle races, frisbee tournaments, and banana- eating contests. Culminating the week's activities PARENTS' NIGHT HOST, David Hart, pre- sents a copy of the Shield to Mrs. Wallace Smith and Dr. Smith, Director of Building and Grounds for the City schools, when they arrive for the August 26 orientation. 16 o Special Activities was an old-fashioned picnic and watermelon feast at Will Rogers Park. New spirit tags, bumper stickers, and pennants were on sale in the Student Store along with Northwest antenna flags. Again the dress code was re- laxed, and students in the Okla- homa City school district were per- mitted to wear any apparel that does not interfere with the educa- tional process. No restrictions on hair were made. Counselor's offices were jammed, as usual, with students seeking schedule changes. But there was no mass confusion as there was last year when the Cluster Plan first went into effect. TOP: MY NEXT CLASS is in there? Freshman Rick Barrett rechecks his copy of his IBM schedule.
