HN: Ts ser GEHR FOR .... Don't you agree that this was an 'upward year' with everything but the enrollment on the move? Yeah, you realize that the 1920 enrollment count was the lowest since 1956, yet our spirit was com- pared, by long-time teachers, to that of '63-64 when we won state basket- ball crowns back to back. We're still winning lots of honors -cheerleaders, majorettes, Cryslurs, debaters added trophies, and the band traveled more. Those are obviousg everyone knows about them. But what about the new chess club? Players beat Yukon in their opening match. Remember how we joined Key Club because we were afraid of being labeled a squid? Then later we got a kick out of helping out. An especially big thrill was when the Courtesy Club girls won the radio contest for a disco dance by raising S1300 for the cancer fund. I That was a memorial for Mr. Rodney St. Dizier, math teacher. We kept soap out of the fountain longer than most administrators thought possible. But there's something important you haven't thought of yet. It couldn't have been football? Don't you see? Even through a 1-9 season, we proved it was still all right to be a Knight. I never thought of it that way. I guess we really did get in gear this year, didn't we? T gym i HIUST ONE MORE locker to go. Booster Club members Mr. Charles Norman, Mr, Ken Willey and Mr. lack Lee put finishing touches on the Field House locker room. CONGRATULATIONS go to Christie Franklin from Principal Iune Dawkins after she is crowned Miss Black Oklahoma City last April. Later she was runner-up to the winner of the state pageant. Opening ' 3

RECORD in Remember how we sweat in greasy fast-food restaurants for the minimum 32.65 last summer? Sure No tips either. But we didn't hesitate about spending S38 on a pair of Famolares to keep our feet dancing 'till mid- night. Why hesitate? Remember when school started and parents were urg- ing us to get back to the basics? We enrolled in Psychology. Anthropol- ogy and Furniture Technology. And such a nuisance the messed up roads were! When we heard that 39th, our favorite cruising street, would be closed until 1980, it was too much! We kept looking for shortcuts to school, but made excuses to miss pig t ' M. .. .-.. i refer----f L a. 1 ,. advisory anyway so we could pick up Dunkin' Donuts and a Coke. The Shield kept mentioning the record number of freshmen going out for everything from band to debate, chess, music and sports. Sure Records were being set in every corner of the school. That same word keeps popping up. What word? Records Like Double Vision ? Not that kind of record. I'm talk- ing about the kind of records like 'top honors,' enthusiasm. Are you thinking what l'm think- ing? Uh, huh. It really has been a record year! DANCE, DANCE, DANCE. Victor Albert and Marsha Duffy enjoy the sounds of Mia at the 1978 Iunior-Senior prom. TERRIFIED.
