F Q, 7 V9 Internationally, 1974-75 has been a dis- rupted year, with crises and upsets throughout the world - here, briefly, are a few of the major events: The current situation in Cyprus began when the Greek-Cypriot Nat'l Guard, encouraged by Greek officers, fomented an uprising to topple Cyprus' President, Archbishop Makarios. The officers wanted more direct control of the island in order to bring about the long dreamed of goal of Enosis - union of Cyprus with Greece. Events seemed to go their way at first as the Greek Cypriots took over many key installations and installed a new president, Nikos Sampson. But then rumblings began of military moves by Turkey to intervene directly in the Cyprus situa- tion. Despite pleas in various world quarters calling for a negotiated settlement, a full-scale Turkish invasion was soon under way. The Turks had come, they said, to protect the rights of the Turkish-Cypriot minority which com- prises only one fifth of the island's population. Turkish forces systematically destroyed Greek installations on the island - pounding into sub- mission the outgunned Greek Cypriots with arms and mortar. The Turks were then in their strongest position on Cyprus since the British took the island from them in 1914. The 40911 of Cyprus they now hold contains 7096 of the island's wealth. In the key agricultural sector, Turks control all the orange and lemon groves, as well as the island's breadbasket, the fertile Mesaoria Plain. All the Greeks have, one British economist observed, are grapes. The Turks also hold Cyprus' two most important tourist resorts, the port cities of Kyrenia and Famagusta. Turkey however, conceded little in victory, Greece conceded nothing in defeat. Athens demanded Turkish withdrawal from most of its conquered territory as a pre-condition to resumption of peace talks, while at the same time Turkey was pushing plans to develop its sector of the island as an autonomous state. Dur- ing the last week of August, '74, Greek-Cypriot gunmen, taking advantage of what began as a peaceful demonstration, shot and killed US Am- bassador to Cyprus Rodger P. Davies and a Greek-Cypriot secretary as she ran toward him. The assassination seemed to cool passions on Cyprus for a time, although it did appear to in- crease criticism of the way the US had handled the situation. Also, in a move that may per- manently weaken the West in the eastern Mediterranean, Athens summarily pulled its forces out of the NATO alliance. NATO is dis- pensable, Greek Premier Constantine Caramanlis said in a gesture of independence. It used us, but when we needed it, it closed its eyes. Like Vietnam, Cyprus seems to defy solu- tion. The last week of August also saw a military takeover of Ethiopia which left Emperor Haile Selassie virtually stripped of the absolute power he had enjoyed for nearly 44 years. As additional insult, the military forcibly entered Selassie's palace in Addis Ababa and arrested the com- mander of the Imperial Bodyguard. Perhaps most importantly, the Armed Forces Coor- dinating Committee, which dictates policy to Prime Minister Michael Imru's civilian govern- ment, announced that it was abolishing four of- fices through which Selassie had ruled the coun- try since 1930: the Crown Council, which issued the Emperor's decrees: the Imperial Ap- pointments Office, which implemented his selec- tion of all important gov't officials: the Military Advisory Council, by which he ran the armed forces: and the Court of Justice, which inter- preted the law according to his wish. Selassie was at first allowed to retain the title of Emperor, but has since been stripped of that, arrested and imprisoned - the man whose iron hand ruled Ethiopia for so long fell victim to his own methods, this time in the hands of someone else. In Ireland, the extended truce of the Provisional IRA's 26-day holiday cease-fire came to an end two weeks into January of 75. It marked Northern Ireland's longest period of non-violence since the troubles began five years ago. The truce also underscored ll how even such a short period of peace had almost miraculously transformed life in Ulster: and 21 how far apart both sides remained in failing to find a way to make it last. By the end of 1974, the British Army had stalemated the Provos in Northern Ireland. Things had been going wrong, commented one IRA leader, and the timing was right for a cease-fire. The only chance that it would succeed was a significant British concession on withdrawal. Failing that, the IRA's strategy for '75 involves an intensified campaign of terror - not in Ulster, but in Britian. In Febuary of 1974, Alexander Solzhenit- syn, Russia's passive yet dissident author, was exiled, deported from the Soviet Union, and is currently living in Switzerland. He was at last able to accept the Nobel Prize he had been awarded 4 years before but forbidden by the Russian government to accept - how ironic that it took an exile to accomplish this. In an open letter to the Soviet Union, written more in sorrow than in anger, Solzhenitsyn expressed what well may be his farewell message to the Politburo. It reveals Russia's greatest writer as an uncomfortable and uncompromising prophet, a utopian conservative who fears for the future of his beloved country as much as he hates what the Soviet system has done to its past. Neither Russia nor the Western world deserve the concern of such a man - they have both proven themselves unworthy. During 1974, improverished India shocked the world with the explosion of a nuclear device. It was the product of India's own nuclear reactors, ostensibly built to generate power for peaceful uses. And in December Israeli President Ephraim Katzir told the world what everyone already knew: that Israel fhas the potential to make atomic weapons and if we need it, we'll do it. And unless the Mid-East time bomb is diffused, US Senator J. W. Fulbright Know retired from 30 years in the Senatel said in November that the world could see a new war, a renewed oil boycott, and possibly consequences there ranging from another Great Depression to Armageddon itself . Natural disasters took their toll this year as well, in several different forms: Across Hon- duras, 50,000 people were driven from their homes by Hurricane Fifi, whose 20 inches of rain wiped out much of Honduras' banana crop and other harvests. More than 2,700 bodies were recovered from the flood-devastated town of Choloma, and another 1,000 were discovered in La Ceiba on the coast according to military spokesmen. The Honduran Nat'l Relief Emergency Committee estimated the total number of casulties in Honduras alone at 5,000. Four other nations and Mexico were also hard hit. December 20 and 21 saw avalanches in Austria and Iceland killing 17 persons within 24 hrs. At Kitzbuehel, Austria, an avalanche thundered down the 5,428 ft. Mt. Hahnenkamm, killing eight skiers, and at Neskaupstadur, Iceland, nine persons were killed when an avalanche descended on that east coast fishing center, destroying two of Iceland's largest fish factories as well. On December 25, Christmas Day, Cyclone Tracy roared out of the Timor Sea, lashing and cutting at Darwin, Australia for four hours, with winds up to 120 m.p.h., coupled with torrential rains. Forty persons were known dead, and sur- vivors reported that 9070 of the city's buildings were damaged or demolished. The city of 40,000 inhabitants, almost completely destroyed by the japanese in WW II, was left once again without adequate safe water, sewerage service or electric power. Continuing rains and wind up to 30 m.p.h. compounded the misery of the survivors and hampered relief work. Former Japanese Prime Minister Eiasku Sato and Sean McBride of Ireland were awarded the 1974 Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to limit nuclear weapons and to protect human rights. Sato was cited for signing the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and for advocating that Japan not acquire nuclear weapons of its own. The committee said his policies contributed largely to stabilizing conditions in the Pacific. McBride, a former Irish foreign minister, is United Nations commissioner for Southwest Africa, a territory for which the UN is trying to gain independence from South Africa. His cita- tion however, covered many years of work in such bodies as Amnesty International and the International jurist Commission. Their efforts have come in areas that in our time are central to the work for peace. stated the committee. 7 V - - il A i I1 1 wi' J . Arab O11 The oil problem actually began during the Yom Kippur war, when the Arab states placed an embargo on oil sales to the Netherlands and the US. Perhaps greater than any other result, its success proved to the 12 members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries COPECJ - which includes such non-Arab states as Iran, Nigeria and Venezuela - that by acting together to restrict oil supplies, they had the oil consuming countries over a barrel. It now became evident that dependence of the major in- dustrial countries on imported oil was so great that, at least in the short run, they would stand still for paying much higher oil prices. Em- boldened, OPEC instituted the now notorious fourfold increase in crude oil prices on jan, 1 of '74. At one stroke this price increase gave a further fillip to worldwide inflationary pressures and reduced real incomes in all oil-consuming nations. For this reason, it introduced a strongly contractive force into the world economy - con- tributing to, if not causing, the current world recession. 1974 did see the end however, of the oil em- bargo and production cutbacks that had been imposed by the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries 4OAPECl in October, 1973, in support of the Arab war effort against Israel. It also witnessed the establishment of a price for oil fS11.65fbarrel for 34 degree crude from the Gulf producersl believed to be impossibly high only a few months before. In the roughest terms, the twin crises of the embargo and the high oil price levels contain the seeds of inevitable con- frontation between a bloc of industrialized con- suming states led by the US, and a bloc of producing states largely, but not exclusively con- centrated in the Middle East and probably led by Saudi Arabia and Iran. The embargo, which was lifted on March 18, 1974, was a political act designed to pressure the major oil consumers Cmostly allies of the USB and the US itself Cas Israelis principal source of outside helpj through a total ban on the shipment of Arab oil to the US, the Netherlands, South Africa and Portugal, combined with production cut backs at SWZJ a month applied selectively to consumers accor- ding to their position with regard to the Arab- Iseaeli conflict. In December of '73, the produc- tion cutbacks were eased by holding them at 15'-711.

The adverse economic effects of the embargo on the producers were thus more than compensated for by higher prices: non-Arab producers were not particularly eager to fill the production gap feven if they were ablej because they were reap- ing fantastic incomes from the new price levels. The torrent of petrodollars - some S50 to S60 billion of annual oil revenues that the OPEC countries are unable to spend - is now flowing back to the oil consuming countries through a variety of other channels ranging from purchases of US Treasury notes and Canadian hydroelec- tric bonds to direct gov't-to-gov't loans, such as Saudi Arabia's recent S1 billion loan to japan Both Side S and Iran's S1 billion pre-payment to France for nuclear reactors. Arab governments are also len- ding directly to multinational corporations on acceptances from big banks. This vast rearrangement of international- payments flows raises several important problems: IJ While the oil funds will sooner or later come back to the major financial markets of the world, will they get channeled to those countries that need them in order to pay for their oil? 23 By shifting their large holdings of funds from place to place, can the OPEC countries play havoc with the world's financial and foreign-exchange markets? 35 As payment surpluses pile up year after year, will the OPEC countries own a substantial fraction of the world's assets by the end of the dec- , , D 1 ...... ,-, if ' ,'I, H ,Iix Y xxx .

There is, on the part of the Arabs, a growing recognition of the danger inherrent in any threat to the stability of the West. Since the last oil embargo in the fall of '73, Western leaders have privately mulled the possi- bility of military intervention if the try to cut off the oil supply again the latter are wary.

Synonomous with the arrival of Air Force Two in virtually any air- port in the world today is a short man with wavy hair, a German accent and a ready grin, Super K as he is sometimes called, perhaps the foremost figure in world events - United States Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger. Under ex-president Nixon and now under Ford, Kissinger has established a reputation as perhaps one of the greatest statesmen and negotiators the world has ever known. He is largely responsible, through much jetting back and forth, for the truce, even if temporary, in the Mid- East: for the progression of detente with Russia as far as it has come: for dealings with the oil producing nations and assistance in their disputes: and indeed for global diplomacy wherever and whenever necessary - whether for the settling of differences or a trade agreement, it all seems to be part of a day's work for Kissinger. The Middle East has claimed a great deal of his attention this year, not only because of the powder-keg oil situation, but a multitude of inter- related factors which could at any moment lead to war. Visiting Amman in January of '75, Iran's Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi provided Jordan's King Hussein with a promise of increased financial aid to help turn Jordan into a prosperous and strongly developed country, as well as a squadron of F-5A fighters being phased out of the Iranian Air Force. The Iranian monarch then flew to Cairo, where his visit was described by one newspaper as probably the most important in modern Egyptian history. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's warm reception of the Shah perhaps reflected a desire to put some of Iran's oil money to work shoring up Egypt's deficit-ridden economy, to which end the two leaders signed almost S1 billion in economic agreements, including a massive Iranian investment in Egyptian petrochemicals, which will provide needed fertilizer for both domestic use and export as well as plastics and synthetic fibers. Possibly beyond that too, Sadat saw an opportunity, through closer ties with Iran, to increase diplomatic pressure on Israel. For years Iran and Israel have been allies, yet the Shah's stance has changed dramatically since 1967, and he now regularly calls for complete Israeli withdrawal from occupied Arab territory. The one issue the Iranians can perhaps help resolve is con- trol of the Abu Rudeis oil fields in the southwest Sinai, which Sadat in- sists must be returned to Egypt as part of the next Israeli withdrawal. The Shah, whose country supplies Israel with 40'ha of its oil, told Sadat that Iran would be willing to increase its oil shipments to Israel to make up the estimated 5 million tons of petroleum that the Israelis would lose from the Abu Rudeis fields annually. Sadat voiced no opposition to the proposal, which was obviously Kissinger in its origination. The Secretary of State met with Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Yigal Allon in Washington in january under somewhat of a cloud which implied that Kissinger felt the Israelis were stalling. Their diplomats however, insisted that jerusalem had made a serious offer which the Egyptians brushed aside without so much as a counter-proposal. They suggested that Kissinger fly back to Cairo and find out precisely what Sadat would concede in return for further Israeli withdrawals - the Secretary will not however, return to the Mid-East on what he considers another probing mission until he is carrying new Israeli proposals that represent what he regards as significant concessions. Following his February negotiating tour of the Mid- East, Kissinger was understood to be worried that Syria might try to upset a Sinai settlement because of fears that Egypt may be making a separate deal with Israel. His chief worry in arranging a settlement concerns reports that Syrian President Hafez Assad is urging other Arab nations to resist so called partial settlements that could devide the Arabs. As a result, Kissinger is exploring ways of linking a Sinai agreement to Syria's drive for further Israeli withdrawal on the Golan Heights. One approach believed under considera- tion would be to pair an Egyptian-Israeli agreement with an- nouncement of a date for resumption of the Geneva peace conference. Relations with Moscow at this time are also con- sidered central to peace. Basically, Kissinger is working on an Israeli withdrawal of up to 30 miles including the Abu Rudeis oil fields and possibly the strategic Gidi and Mitla mountain passes in return for a commitment by Egypt of peace with Israel. In February United Nations Secretary- General Kurt Waldheim warned that the situation could become very dangerous unless progress toward peace is achieved inside a month. Meanwhile, Syria is trying to in- crease Arab pressure on Sadat of Egypt to get him to make a new Egyptian-Israeli agreement based on Israeli troop withdrawal on the Syrian front. Israeli leaders have, however, praised Sadat for the way he has switched home- front priorities from war planning to such economic goals as the re-opening of the Suez Canal this Spring. A key Israeli cabinet minister promised during january that if this tendency grows, we will concede a lot, although we will not be squeezed. In Cario, Egyptian leaders surmised that Israeli Premier Rabin and Foreign Minister Allon had in- itially put together an unacceptable package in order to pacify Israeli hawks and were now ready for serious bargain- ing. The time is ripe for continued diplomatic efforts to br- ing peace to the area, said Egyptian Information Minister Ahmad Kamal Abul-Magd. Cario is keeping all bridges open. A major problem, however, is the fact that the Sinai negotiations are inextricably tied to similiar discussions over the Golan Heights, and the Israeli-Syrian situation is still hopelessly bogged down. Israel demands guarantees of border security, as well as political recognition from Damascus, before it will return any more of the Golan Heights. Syrian President Assad, so far, is unwilling to recognize Israel, and unless the Israelis pull back farther on the Golan, he is unlikely to accede to another six-month renewal of the United Nations peace-keeping force that is separating the belligerents on the Heights when the present UN mandate expires in May. Israel already regrets giving back the provincial capital Quneitra in the first round of negotiations and as of January was resisting the six or seven kilometer pullback that the US had trial ballooned as a se- cond stage. Another trouble spot is the Lebanese-Israeli border, which Palestinian guerrillas have frequently crossed to at- tack Israel, while Israeli forces have retaliated by bombing, shelling, and raiding Lebanese villages that they claim have provided the Palestinians with shelter. If any good can come from a situation of that nature, then a limited amount did in january when Lebanon's Presi- dent Suleiman Franjieh met with Syrian President Assad in the first formal summit between leaders of the two often con- tentious neighbors since 1947. In discussions concerning the situation with Israel, Franjieh reportedly refused to allow Syrian troops inside his country short of an all-out Israeli assault, and agreed only to military co-ordination with Damascus. In spite of the differences however, it was generally conceded that the meeting had temporarily lessened tension along the northern border. Saudi Arabia's King Faisal, himself a key figure in Mid- dle East peace moves, also visited Damascus, Amman, and Cairo early in '75, as well as signing a S756 million contract with the US for sixty jets. The deal presumably reinforced US-Saudi relations, which are essential to peacemaking in the area. Such is his impact on international affairs that almost anything Henry Kissinger says is bound to produce some think of m yseh' as a historian more than a statesman. As a historian, you have to be conscious of the fact that every civilization that has ever existed has ultimatebi failed. History is a tale of efforts that failed, of aspirations that weren't realized, of wishes that were fuhillea' and then turned out to be dwerent from what are expected So, as a historian, one has to live with a sense ofthe inevitability oftragedy. As a states- man, one has to act on the assumption that problems can be solveal - Henry Kissinger in a conversation V with New York Times columnist f James Reston, Oct. 13 ly. kind of reaction from areas across the globe. Early in 1975, during a BUSINESS WEEK interview, Kissinger responded to a question about possible US military intervention against the oil producers by cautiously noting that this would be a very dangerous course. But then, I am not saying there is no circumstance where we would not use force. But it is one thing to use it in the case of a dispute over pricey it's another where there is some actual strangulation of the industrial world. Reaction to the comment was immediate, emotional and sharply negative: - A colonialist enterprise doomed to failure. -Algerian President Houari Boumedienne. - Gunboat policies. -Pravda - Oil producing Arab nations will blow up their wells rather than let them be seized by US forces. -Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. - American intervention might risk war with the Soviets. - Rome - Kissinger's flirtation with 'brinkmanshipf -London Only the Israelis expressed satisfaction. It was a good statement. said former Intelligence Chief Haim Herzog. It makes the Arabs think twice. Despite their public stances ftaken to appease the Arabs! several European officials privately agreed with Kissinger, acknowledging that if their economic situations became extreme, they would not op- pose US military action to avoid actual economic strangulation. Kissinger clearly stated that American intervention in the Mid-East would be a last resort. But in the face of the outrage, far from retracting his statement that intervention remains a US option, he even added that President Ford agreed with him, and the latter reaffirmed that support. Kissinger's remarks therefore, may have been a calculated signal to the oil exporters, warning them that they cannot re- main adamant much longer on high petroleum prices. The result remains to be seen. ---- -- - W- -------1 Z74fX ig-Xl... zz. l VK. 4 i l l 1 11 l l w w w Mobs Foreign Language Clubs Enjoying while learning was the main goal of Spanish and German Clubs. Celebrating native German and Spanish Holidays provided fun lear- ning experiences. Trips to restaurants specializing in foreign foods gave club members a chance to appreciate new tastes. Service projects, such as the Spanish Club's gifts of food and clothing to Guadalupe Central at Christmas, rounded out the activities of a worthwhile year. The clubs also made their own attempt at fixing native foods in the classroom. 1. GERMAN CLUB OFFICERS: Pres.-N. McElroy, Vice- Pres.-C. Smith, Sec.-J. Lovitt, Treas.-J. Breidenbach, Rep.-K.

To School Contributing to the school in many areas, the National Honor Society was busy with several pro- jects throughout the year. In addition to setting up a tutoring service, they helped plan a Student Orienta- tion Program for Students new or unfamiliar with Bixby High School, helped with Career Night and Open House, and sponsored Students of the Month. They worked in co-operation with the Student Senate on an undertaking to buy a marquee for the new high school. By selling donuts before school, Valentine corsages, and inches of the marquis to students the project came nearer to reality. Enjoying get togethers outside of school the honor society attended Case Bonita and the Gaslight Dinner Theatre as a group. The highlight of the year was their annual induction in March where new members were inducted and Mr. Ford, assistant superinten- dent was presented with a plaque honoring him for his years of service to Bixby High School.

The school gave the band a new French and a new bass horn. In addition to their summer practices, band members practiced three times a week after school. The band represented the school in many ways throughout the year. Members played and marched for football games, the Tulsa Christmas parade, and the Homecoming parade, and played at several basketball games, as well as supporting the school and its teams with their spirit signs. They sponsored the annual Halloween Carnival, in addition to par- ticipating in a Christmas assembly for the student body, and putting on a Coronation Concert and a Spr- ing Concert. Early in the Spring the band made final preparations to attend the solo and ensemble contest for District Contest at Bartlesville in March. Besides their honors at these contests, Renee Dumas, Mike Downing, Debbie Kennard were chosen to play in the Tulsa Youth Symphony, and the Sr. band members were honored with band sweaters at the last football game.

None of these questions were fully answered, either by that or the subsequent 1974 trial - hence the story of Watergate becomes a dif- ficult one to relate, and one which leaves a curious mixture of doubt, amazement, disbelief and at times a shaken faith in the credibility of politicians, gov't, law and indeed, justice. To tell this story, even briefly, would be material ample for a novel - yet through explanations of impor- tant terms and individual sketches fin alphabetical orderj of the cover- up's main figures, we hope to present at least a somewhat clearer picture than many have formed from the media. The UWATERGATE BREAK- IN as such occurred on June 17, 1972. The actual burglars involved were Bernard L. Barker, Virgilio R. Gonzalez, Eugenio R. Martinez, James W. McCord Jr., and Frank Sturgis, the Cubans all having former CIA ties to anti-Castro intelligence activities. The Cubans were con- vinced Cas they had been told by E. Howard Huntj that they were doing something patriotic and actually aiding the US against the Com- munists by participating in the WXG break-in. Hunt later urged them to plead guilty - their families would be cared for financially and they could count on executive clemency after a few months in jail. They were also promised 51,000 month for the dura- tion of their jail term. The gov't in- vestigation following the break-in was tailored to define the conspiracy in the narrowest terms - that is, that it did not go beyond the seven in- dicted: the four Cubans, E. Howard Hunt, G. Gordon Liddy, and James McCord. In addition, the Justice Dept. ignored anything not directly related to the bugging. SLUSH FUND - cash con- tributions to Nixon's re-election cam- paign kept in Maurice Stans' safe at the Committee to Re-elect the Presi- dent CCRPD. Part of it was also kept in Herbert Kalmbach's safe in his Calif. law office. The fund was used for espionage and political sabotage and was controlled by five men: H. R. Haldeman, Herbert Kalmbach, Jeb Magruder, John Mitchell and Maurice Stans. At any given time it is estimated that there was around S700,000 cash in the fund, which itself is at the very heart of Watergate. PLUMBERS - a secret White House team investigating leaks to the news media, consisting of E. Howard Hunt, Egil Krogh, G. Gordon Liddy and David Young, and responsible to John Ehrlichman.

Porter, Donald Segretti, Hugh Sloan and Gordon Strachan. USC REPUBLICAN MAFIA - a group of men who had attended the University of So. California together, and later worked together at the J. Walter Thompson Ad Agency in Los Angeles under Bob Haldeman, who later brought them to the WH. These were Dwight Chapin, Tim Elbourne, Don Segretti and Ronald Ziegler. Also graduates of USC and later moving to the WH, though not as a part of the mafia, were Herbert Porter, Gordon Strachan and Mike Guhin, a member of Kissingerls staff. DIRTY TRICKS - refers to WH infiltration of the Demo and other Republican campaigns. More than 50 WH agents were hired to sub- vert the entire electoral processg they3 were directed by the WH to destroy the opposition, no holds barred. To this end they used bugging, following people, false press leaks, fake letters, cancellation of campaign rallies, in- vestigations of campaign worker's private lives, planting of spies, steal- ing of documents and the planting of provocateurs in political demonstrations. The WHITE HOUSE BUGS - this refers to the taping system in Richard Nixon's office, which was known only RMN, H. R. Haldeman, Larry Higby fHaldeman's office managerl, Alexander Haig CWH Chief of Staff J, Alexander Butterfield CDeputy Ass't to the President in charge of internal security or gov't wiretapping and paper flow to the Presidentl, and the Secret Service men who maintained it. Surprisingly, Henry Kissinger and John Ehrlichman were unaware of the system. 39 In the lines following this we have attempted to give a brief sketch of the men involved in WXG - what their position was, perhaps how they came to it, what their duties were, if they were convicted, and on what counts if so. Personal comments from some of the figures are included prior to the information concerning them, together with a summary of the final WXG trial at the conclusion. For nearly six years, these men ran the government of the United States . . . ON THE DAY I WAS INDICTED, I WENT OUT ON MY FRONT LAWN AND SAID I WAS INNOCENT. I INTEND TO FIGHT THIS THING ALL THE WAY THROUGH. -DWIGHT L. CHAPIN DWIGHT L. CHAPIN - Deputy Ass't to the President: Ap- pointments Secretary. Chapin took his orders directly from RMN and Bob Haldeman. He had worked for Nixon's '62 gubenatorial campaign and after graduating from USC joined the J. W. Thompson Ad Agency. The connection between Chapin and Don Segretti, whom he hired, was impor- tant in that it brought WXG to the doors of the Oval Office. The WH responded by blaming McGovern and the Washington Post newspaper for its problems. Chapin was the most trusted of the Beaver Patrol and was later indicted for perjury. He was convicted of lying to a grand jury and sentenced to 10-30 mths. He is currently free pending appeal. MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR. REGARDLESS OF HOW ROUGH THE ROAD AHEAD MAY BE, I KNOW THAT IN THE END MY INNOCENCE WILL BE ESTABLISHED BECAUSE I PUT COMPLETE FAITH IN GOD AND I BELIEVE DEEPLY IN MY COUNTRY. - CHARLES COLSON CHARLES W. COLSON - Special Counsel to the President. The WH Hatchet Man and commandant on political warfare, Colson was described as over-protective of the president. He began with the WH in 1969, and reported to RMN and Bob Haldeman as the administration's liason to outside political and special interest groups and also had a hand in the dirty tricks. Colson was responsible for the Howard Hunt Group, who reported to him and provided him with daily updates on their ac- tivities. Although John Ehrlichman often attempted to delay Hunt's ac- tivities, it was Colson who pushed the budget through, and Colson who, along with John Mitchell, was behind the W X G operation. His role was ac- tive, Mitchell's less so. Both of them together sponsored the hiring of Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy. Colson told Nixon as early as December of '73 that his top aides were involved in WXG in a big way, especially John Dean and John Mitchell. In early March, 1974, Colson was indicted as part of a con- spiracy to burglarize Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office and was also charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice in the WX G investigation by a Washington grand jury. He is currently serving time in Fort Holabird, Maryland. - . John--.WD . K ,Dean 7 7 ' -,ru A , . , ff, I AM PREPARED TO ACCOUNT FOR MY ACTIONS, WHICH I DEEPLY REGRET. - JOHN W. DEAN JOHN W. DEAN III - Counsel to the President. Dean sat in on all WH personnel interviews with the FBI, and acting FBI director L. Patrick Gray later testified at his confirmation hearing that he had turned the records of the W X G investigation completely over to Dean. James McCord testified that Jeb Magruder and John Dean had advance knowledge of the WXG bugging and were involved in its planning. The WH had assigned Dean to investigate W! G - if he were directly involved, what would be the consequence? When the grand jury shifted its probe from the bugging to the obstruction of justice by administration officials involved in the coverup, Dean became the scapegoat. Dean resigned from the WH on April 30. 1973, and was threatened by RMN with jail time if he talked about WH undercover activities. He estimated the total cost of the cover up at around S1 million, and said he believed that Senator Baker was in the bag and helping the WH, and that Howard Hunt was blackmailing the WH. Dean acted as a go between for Haldeman-Ehrlichman and Mitchell- LaRue. He pleaded guilty to a charge of obstruction of justice in late Feb. '74, and received a one-to-four year sentence which he is serving at Fort Holabird, Maryland. It was Dean's '73 grand jury testimony that brought the beginning of the end of the cover-up. A I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THIS COURTROOM WHO REALLY KNOWS WHETHER I AM GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY OF THE CHARGES AGAINST ME. I AM INNOCENT OF EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE CHARGES IN THIS CASE. - JOHN D. EHRLICHMAN JOHN D. EHRLICHMAN - Ass't to the President for Domestic Af- fairs. Resident program man in the WH, he dealt with legislation, concepts and domestic crises, and was responsible for the Plumbers group, receiv- ing regular reports from David Young on their investigatory progress. Ehrlichman at times tried to delay Howard Hunt's activities but was over- ruled by Charles Colson. Although both he and Haldeman acknowledged that they had authorized widespread undercover activities and knew of payments to convicted conspirators, neither felt they should be indicted. Also together with Haldeman, Ehrlichman instructed FBI Director Gray to destroy evidential documents taken from Howard Hunt's safe in order to prevent WH implication. Ehrlichman resigned from the WH on April 30, 1973. Logs of 17 wiretaps ordered by the gov't C13 gov't officials and 4 reportersj through '69-71 for the purpose of discovering news leaks were found in his WH safe. He was however, unaware of the taping system in Nixon's office. On March 1, 1974, he was charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice and also early in March was indicted for conspiring to burglarize the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist, and on July 31, California's Judge Gesell gave Ehrlichman 20 months to 5 years on the latter charge. On trial late in 1974, he was found guilty on 4 counts in the jury's January 1, 1975 verdict: conspiracy to obstruct justice, obstruction of justice and lying to a grand jury. He is presently free pending senten- cing. I KNOW THAT LEGALLY AND MORALLY I'M TOTALLY AND ABSOLUTELY INNOCENT. I HAVE THE FULL CONVIC- TION THAT ULTIMATELY THE TRUTH WILL BE KNOWN. - H. R. HALDEMAN As We View This Dran' They Are Human, Sub Human Shortcomings H. R. KBOBJ HALDEMAN - Ass't to the President: WH Chief of Staff. Haldeman was in charge of WH personnel and was the CRP's overseer. He was N ixon's eyes and ears in the campaign, and had previously directed RMN's '62 campaign for governor. He was the former manager of Los Angeles' J . Walter Thompson Ad Agency, from where he recruited Ron Ziegler, Dwight Chapin and Tim Elbourne for the WH. He controlled a good many ,of Nixon's affairs - i.e. all of Herbert Kalmbach's dealings with RMN were through Haldeman, and ran the CRP through Jeb Magruder until Mitchell and Stans took over. He was the one behind the bulk slush fund payments received by Kalmbach, Liddy, Magruder and Porter, but insulated himself through the functionaries around him, delegating orders but not responsibility to those beneath him. Haldeman resigned from the WH on April 30, 1973. He was charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice by a Washington grand jury on March 1, 1974. Follow- ing his late '74 trial, he was found guilty of conspiracy to obstruct justice. obstruction of justice and perjury. He is currently free pending appeal and sentencing. TODAY I STAND BEFORE THE BAR OF JUSTICE ALONE, NEARLY FRIENDLESS, RIDICULED, DISGRACED, DESTROYED AS A MAN. THESE HAVE BEEN A FEW OF THE MANY TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES OF MY PARTICIPATION IN THE WXG AFFAIR, AND THEY HAVE BEEN VISITED UPON ME IN OVERWHELMING MEASURE. WHAT I DID WAS WRONG. - E. HOWARD HUNT E. HOWARD HUNT - Consultant to the WH and to Charles Colson. Hunt was a former WH consultant on the de-classification of the Pentagon Papers and subsequent search for the source of their leakage and had also been investigating Senator Edward Kennedy's private life with a view toward preventing a Kennedy candidacy. He was involved with the plan- ning of the WXG break-in and served as the Cubans contact man. He was also connected with Dita Beard and the '72 ITT memo, Ca promise of several hundred thousand dollars to finance the Republican Nat'l Conven- tion in San Diego in return for a favorable anti-trust settlementj. Hunt was a member of the Plumbers group, and as stated by Egil Krogh, was receiving nat'l security wiretap information. Hunt and Liddy also super- vised the Ellsberg break-in, for which both received a jail sentence - Hunt's 216 to 8 yrs. after pleading guilty to six counts. He is now free on appeal after serving 10 months and being fined S10,000. He was also involved in extortion of money from the WH - first S100,000, then using the WXG arrests as an excuse, he kept coming back for more. Documents found in Hunt's safe show that he was the author of bogus State Dept. cables fabricated to implicate Pres. John F. Kennedy in the '63 assassination of South Vietnam's president. Also found in the safe was a dossier of informa- tion on Senator Ed Kennedy. Both of these files were destroyed by FBI director L. Patrick Gray at the request of Haldeman and Ehrlichman. YOUR HONOR, I'D LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW HOW DEEPLY EMBARRASSED I AM AND HOW MUCH I REGRET STANDING HERE BEFORE YOU THIS AFTERNOON. - HERBERT W. KALMBACH HERBERT W. KALMBACH - CRP Deputy Finance Chairman: personal att'y to the President. Kalmbach was second only to Maurice Stans on RMN's fund raising team - he was secretary of the Nixon Foun- dation and also did other private work for Nixon. He was one of the five with control of the slush fund and in fact kept part of the fund in his California law office. Kalmbach was responsible for paying Don Segretti and had previously been in charge of CRP fund raising. His own withdrawals from the fund were approved by Bob Haldeman. He resigned at CRP on April 7, 1974, the day the new finance disclosure law took effect, and is presently serving 6-18 months in Fort Holabird, Maryland, after pleading guilty to one felony and one misdemeanor count of campaign law violations and being fined S10,000. FREDERICK LaRUE - Deputy Director of CRPQ aide to John Mitchell. The slush fund was still in existence after the WXG arrests and was used to insure the defendant's silence. Control of the fund was transferred to LaRue in July Cabout S70,000J. The money was first used to finance the WX G break-in and then the cover-up - it brought the opera- tion full circle. LaRue, after the transfer, distributed the money from the slush fund and together with Robert Mardian directed CRP's response to W! G, and was aware of the destruction of CRP records, he and Mardian doing much of the house-cleaning themsleves. He pleaded guilty to con- spiracy to obstruct justice, but had his sentence deferred. MAN GOT WHERE HE IS TODAY BY THE PROCESS OF NATURAL SELECTION - THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. THAT PROCESS CONTINUES AND WELL-INTENTIONED INTERVENTIONS INTO THE WORKINGS OF NATURE ARE USUALLY DISASTROUSI' - GORDON LIDDY G. GORDON LIDDY - CRP Finance Counsel: former aide to John Ehrlichman. Liddy was an ex-FBI agent working in the WH on law en- forcement problems. He joined the CRP as general counsel on Dec. 11. 1971, and was later appointed finance counsel, handling legal advice on campaign finances and contributions. Liddy was paid around S199,000 from the slush fund by Hugh Sloan, first authorized by Jeb Magruder and later by Haldeman. He was a member of the Plumbers and was jailed with James McCord for 1-3 yrs., found guilty on six counts. Liddy was receiving nat'l security wiretap information and is said to have told Mc- Cord that the plans and budget for WXG had been approved by John Mitchell in Feb. of '73 while the latter was still Atty. Gen. Liddy co- supervised the break-in with Hunt and was tried in Calif. in what became known as Watergate West, and was convicted of conspiracy, burglary and wiretapping and sentenced to 6 years and B months to 20 years - to run concurrently, as well as being fined S10,000. He was also given an ad- ditional sentence for refusing to testify before a grand jury and was later indicted CMarch, 197 45 on a charge of conspiracy to burglarize the office of Dr. Lewis Fielding fEllsberg's psy.j. I WAS AMBITIOUS, BUT I WAS NOT WITHOUT MORALS OR ETHICS OR IDEALS. THERE WAS IN ME THAT SAME BLEND OF AMBITION AND ALTRUISM THAT I SAW IN MY PEERS. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN MY AMBITION AND MY IDEALS, I LOST MY ETHICAL COMPASS. I FOUND MYSELF ON A PATH THAT HAD NOT BEEN INTENDED FOR ME BY MY PARENTS, MY PRINCIPLES, OR MY OWN ETHICAL INSTINCTS. IT HAS LED MY TO THIS COURTROOM. - JEB STUART MAGRUDER. JEB S. MAGRUDER - Deputy CRP Campaign Director. Magruder managed the Nixon campaign before Mitchell took over, after which he became deputy director and a special ass't to the President. Magruder received thousands of dollars from the slush fund and he and Hugh Sloan were hand-picked by Haldeman to be in charge of CRP's day-to-day political and financial operations. Haldeman ran the CRP through Magruder until Mitchell and Maurice Stans came in early '72. Magruder authorized the first payments to Liddy, after which his own bulk withdrawals were ok'd by Haldeman. James McCord revealed that Magruder and John Dean had advance knowledge of the WXG break-in and were involved in its planning. Magruder, as one of the five in control of the slush fund, pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice and to defraud the United States and is presently serving a 10 mth. to 4 year sentence in Fort Holabird, Maryland. It Becomes Apparent That, Like Each Of Us t To Human Thoughts, Human Failings, nd Indeed, To Human Corruption. ROBERT C. MARDIAN A CRP Political Coordinator, former ass't Atty. General. One of Mitchell's principal aides, Mardian was also CRP's lawyer and with Fred LaRue directed CRP's response to WXG. They were aware of the destruction of records and did much of the cleaning out after the break-in themselves. Mardian was also head of the Justice Dept.'s Internal Security Divi- sion and as such was in charge of gov't wiretapping. FBI director Gray was aware of the taps, which were planted by ex-FBI and CIA agents hired outside of normal channels. On March 1, 1974, Mardian was charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice by a Washington grand jury and on January 1, 1975 was convicted of same, He is presently free pending sentencing and appeal. MY PARTICIPATION IN WATERGATE WAS IN ERROR AND WRONG. I OFFER NO EXCUSE. JAMES MCCORD JAMES W. MCCORD JR. - CRP Security Coordinator. A former FBI agent actually caught in the break-in, McCord also ran McCord Associates, a private security consulting agency. He was sentenced, along with Liddy, to one-to-five years, found guilty on eight counts in the WXG conspiracy. He is currently free on appeal and S100,000 bond. I THINK I'M GOING TO THE MOON, THAT'S THE BEST PLACE. - JOHN N. MITCHELL JOHN N. MITCHELL - CRP Campaign Director: former US Attorney General. Mitchell resigned as Atty. Gen. to take over at CRP, yet resigned as campaign director nine days after RMN said the WH was not involved in WX G While still Atty. General Qin the Spring of '71J Mitchell was approving withdrawals from the slush fund on phone calls from Hugh Sloan. Mitchell and Maurice Stans took over the CRP from Haldeman and Magruder in early 1972. The New York Times revealed that Mitchell knew about the break-in and in fact encouraged it. Mitchell's role however, was somewhat inactive - giving the nod but not conceiv- ing the scheme. 'The Nat'l Security wiretap policy was also known as the Mitchell Doctrine. After the June 19, 1972 Supreme Court decision outlawing wiretaps, J. Edgar Hoover let his agents install the taps only after written authorization from Mitchell. One of the five men in control of the slush fund, Mitchell was also receiving typed reports of gov't wiretapped conversations and was said Cby lVfcCordD to have approved the plans and budget for the WXG break- in while still Atty. General. Mitchell and Stans were tried in New York for obstruction of justice and perjury, but were both acquitted. I-Ie was later charged QMarch 1, 19741 with conspiracy to obstruct justice, and in the WXG jury's New Year's Day 1975 verdict was convicted of that, along with obstruction of justice, lying to a grand jury and perjury. He is currently free pending sentencing and appeal. HUGH W. SLOAN JR. - CRP Treasurer: former aide to Bob Haldeman. Sloan resigned because of his suspicions about WXGQ ironically Judge Sirica picked Sloan to disbelieve, yet later found that he was one of the few who had been telling the truth. As treasurer of the CRP, Sloan had controlled the slush fund in part, in that he gave out the cash, although approval of the disbursements had to come from Mitchell or Stans. Sloan and Jeb Magruder were picked by Haldeman to be in charge of CRP's day-to-day political and financial operations when the CRP was formed in March of '71, and during his time as CRP treasurer, Sloan paid Liddy, among others, around S199,000 from the fund. He left the CRP because of his suspicions and his honesty, and although he was called to testify, was never formally charged with anything. MAURICE H. STANS - CRP Finance Chairman: former Secretary of Commerce. Stans was Nixon's chief fund raiser and it was he who established the system of moving contributions from Democrats, corporations, business ex- ecutives and labor leaders LEGALLY unable to contribute through Mexico so that the money could not be traced. The money was banked in the account of a Mexican national, whose account and bank records would not be subject to sub- poena by US investigators, then moved to Washington in cash. The only US record of the contributions was a single list kept in Stans' safe in the event that the giver requested a favor and a verification was necessary. Stans came to the CRP early in '72 and was tried in February of '74 with john Mitchell in New York for obstruction of justice and perjury. Both were acquitted. One of the five in con- trol of the slush fund, Stans' fund financed the WXG bugging and other intelligence-gathering activities, and was kept in the safe in his CRP office. All records of the fund were destroyed in the CRP house-cleaning, but other than the N.Y. acquittal, no further charges were brought against Stans. DAVID R. YOUNG - Nat'1 Security Council Staff Ass'tg aide to Henry Kissinger, john Ehrlichman. Formerly Kissinger's appt. secretary, Young was on loan to Ehrlichman's staff and was Egil Krogh's deputy on the Plumbers pro- ject, making regular reports to Ehrlichman on the progress of the Plumbers in- vestigations. It was Young who routed transcripts of gov't wire-tapped conver- sations to Hunt and Liddy in 1971 and '72. He was charged with conspiracy to commit burglary and burglary in the Ellsberg case, but had both allegations dropped. COMMENT: Following the WXG indictments and arrests, when the US for the first time began to look seriously at its leadership, Richard Nixon remained adamant, fiercely defensive of his innocence, claiming executive privilege over the tapes and stating firmly that he would never resign. W! G prosecutor Archibald Cox was fired and a replacement, Leon jaworski, put in his place. More denials from Nixon, and talk of moving ahead in the days to come, forgetting Watergate and getting on with the business of running the country. Still other tapes were made public, tapes the content of which Nixon had claimed to be non-existent, and gradually, through one bombshell after another, the support of even the strongest pro-Nixon men gave way to suspicion and rever- sal. Then on August 8, 1974, feeling he cold no longer adequately carry out the duties of his office, Richard M. Nixon resigned - a first in history for a United States president. His second-in-command, Gerald Ford, took over the reins of a troubled presidency, and in September, just a month after the resignation, in what will probably remain as the most controversial act of his term, he granted Nixon a full pardon from his Watergate related crimes and immunity from prosecution, stating that the Nixon family's was indeed an American tragedy . . . It can go on and on, or someone must write 'The End' to it . . . Only I can do that. And if I can, I must. And so he did, to loud protests from both houses of Congress and the resigna- tion of his own Press Secretary, Gerald Terhorst, as well as a nationwide reaction mostly against his decision. Again the WX G prosecutor resigned, this time just before the final trial, and James Neal completed the case as prosecutor. Time cannot bury the trauma of Watergate, nor erase the crimes, yet neither can it dim the accomplishments of the Nixon administration - the end of Viet- nam, the recognition of mainland China, further detente with Russia, peace kept in the Mid-East, at least temporarily, other advances in foreign affairs and attempts to curb domestic inflation by wage and price control. Now there is Gerald R. Ford, tall and honest-looking, a mixture of amnesty, economic summits, government jobs, WIN buttons and no gas tax. 1974 and 1975 - shall we wait and read the history books? od yours has - I Want your help and understanding. I ask Gerald Ford Took over the presidency on August 9, 1974, and with his oath of office he inherited a virtual wealth of difficulties, all the way from what is so glibly termed double-digit inflation to a potentially explosive mid-east situation, and from a soaring un- employment rate to the question of Turkish foreign aid. On Sept. 16, 1974, Ford announced another plan which did lit- tle if anything for his public popularity - amnesty for draft dodgers and deserters. The program gave the offenders until jan. 31, 1975 to turn themselves in to the authorities, after which they would be assigned up to 24 months of alternative duty in a public service job. Draft evaders who had left the country were given fifteen days from the time they returned to the US to surrender. If they did not do so in that time, they then became subject to arrest. Deserters who surrendered were given undesirable discharges, to be upgraded to clemency discharges following completion of alternative service requirements. Reaction to the program from the 12,554 Vietnam-era deserters and 15,000 draft evaders was poor however, with not even one- fourth of those eligible choosing to take advantage of the plan. Many felt they were still being penalized for what they believed, and considered the entire thing a farce, while still others living in Canada, who had already established new identities and new lives for themselves, saw no reason to return and be forced into alter- native service, as well as being required to take an oath of re- allegiance as it were to the United States, when they felt no desire or compuction to do so. The entire proposal could hardly be termed an overwhelming success, yet neither did it fail entirely - for at least it provided an alternative to those seeking one. During the month of September Ford made yet another attempt at getting a hold on the US economy - he held a series of three separate economic summit conferences with specialized groups, then a final major meeting with all of them - senators, labor leaders, cabinet members, Federal Reserve Chairman Burns, leading economists, consumer advocates, industrialists and representatives of the news media. Striving to acquire and unders- tand all sides and views on the situation, Ford was given a very can- did assessment of the United States experience by those present, and ended the talks vowing to sincerely consider all suggestions presented to him. In his first six months in office, Ford left the US three times: in October on a goodwill visit to Mexicog for a visit to the Far East in November, and in December when he met with French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing in Martinique. His November visit to japan, South Korea and the Soviet maritime provinces produced a surprise agreement with Russian leader Leonid Brezhnev on the outlines of a ten-year accord to put a ceiling on the number of offen- sive nuclear weapons each country can deploy. During the first few months of his presidency, Ford's adjust- ment period was anything but aided by huge auto industry layoffs, spiraling prices and an unemployment rate higher than it has been since the Depression. He was at times criticized for painting a gloomy picture of the state of the economy, yet the truth was all he could honestly tell. His State of the Union message outlined what he called a three-front national recovery program a blend of tax cuts to slow the recession, tax increases to ease the energy crisis, and budget economies to halt inflation. Briefly, his proposals included the following: I The imposition of S30 billion in excise taxes on petroleum and natural gas along with decontrol of gas prices and the price of old domestic oil - oil in production before the embargo. Estimates of the impact ranged from 10st to 150 more for the price of gasoline and proportional increases for home heating fuel and electricity. I A permanent reduction averaging 12.6911 in income tax rates with SOWJ of the savings to go to taxpayers with earnings between 57,000 and 515,000 per year. I An S80 cash payment to every adult too poor to owe federal taxes. I A reduction from 48 to 42'Wz in the permanent corporate tax rate, saving businesses S6 billion a year. I A comparable reduction to SW in increases in pay and pension for military and government workers. I A moratorium on new gov't spending programs and a cutback of S17 billion in spending already authorized by law. I A rebate, to be paid half in May and half in September, of 1296 of taxes due on 1974 income. I Tax savings for businesses which expand or modernize. The in- vestment tax credit Ford proposed would enable firms to subtract from taxes owed 1296 of such outlays. I A tax credit of 1596 on the first 81,000 which homeowners spend to insulate or buy storm windows. I A reduction to S96 in July's cost of living increase for 30 million recipients of Social Security. They otherwise would get a 1296 in- crease. Among his other proposals were an expanded effort to produce oil from shale in the West, opening the oil-rich Naval properties at Elk Hills, California, to developers, and tax concessions to utilities which do not burn natural gas or oil. In addition, Ford proposed a law requiring new buildings throughout the country to meet new heat efficiency standards and federal subsidies to the poor to help them insulate their homes. He also said his 10-year program to make America in- vulnerable to foreign energy boycotts envisioned 200 US nuclear power plants, 250 new coal mines, 150 coal-fired power plants, 30 new oil refineries, 20 new synthetic fuel plants, drilling many thousands of new oil wells, insulation of 18 million homes and con- struction of millions of new fuel conserving vehicles. Reaction to Ford's efforts at stabilization have indeed been mixed, especially over his proposed use of higher fuel taxes as a means of curtailing energy consumption: ' FROM DELTA AIRLINES-substantial fare increases will be necessary to offset the cost of fuel, and such hikes will further in- hibit already declining traffic growth and add to inflationary pressures on the economy. prod FIPJQQ- 'gsed aug all Americans, Whoever asked for goodness and mercy g. '15 FROM UNITED AIRLINES-the suggested S3fbarrel tax on im- ported crude oil will make it necessary to increase passenger fares and freight rates substantially to compensate for the added fuel costs. FROM ROBERT WILLIAMS, ILLINOIS AGRICULTURE DIRECTOR-costs for liquid nitrogen fertilizer could well go up as much as S25fton because of the proposed tax increase. Higher fer- tilizer costs might cause farmers to cut back production, which in turn would mean higher consumer costs for grain and grain-based foods. FROM THE INDEPENDENT PRODUCE HAULERS OF AMERICA-higher fuel costs will mean an increase in freight rates and that means increased costs for produce. The consumer can't stand the prices now. FROM THE SERVICE STATION DEALERS OF MICHIGAN-any higher tax would add to the fires of inflation by boosting gasoline pump prices. Any solution to the energy problem must take into account the fact that pricing the product out of reach is no solution at all. For 1975, the economists foresee a slump that in some respects will be the worst since the 40's. Their major predictions: - Total output of goods and services, discounted for inflation, will drop again for the full year, as it did in 1974. That will mark the first time since 1946-47 that the US has suffered two successive full years of declining production. - Administration economists have said the unemployment rate may go up to 8.570 and AF L-CIO President George Meany has predicted 10951. The rate was 8.2170 in January. - Corporate profits, which rose about 1696 in 1974, will fall from 15 to 2096 in 1974. - Inflation will at last lessen - with good luck and a bounteous autumn harvest - to an annual rate of between 6 and 796 by year's end. - An upturn will begin in late summer, but it is very likely to be slow and halting. Uplifting news, isn't it - the kind America has become ac- customed to hearing at 6:00 and 10:00 each day - all in the name of truth in reporting. . . Evidencing yet another of the year's moral judgements, Lieute- nant William Calley, convicted of murder in the Vietnam My Lai affair, was freed from confinement, his sentence reversed - and a na- tion applauded, happy now that it could turn to pursuits other than persecuting a man following the orders of superiors never in- vestigated. Nelson A. Rockefeller's solid reputation as a public ad- ministrator rests largely on his 15 years as governor of New York. Yet he is also knowledgeable on the federal scene, having served Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower in policy-shaping posts. He had run for the presidency three times in the past - 1960, '64, and '68 - before accepting Ford's offer of the 7342 job in 1974. Before entering politics, Rockefeller worked in a family enter- prise that took him to South America, and later led to his appoint- ment by President Roosevelt as Co-ordinator of Inter-American Af- fairs. He also helped formulate the Good Neighbor policy for Roosevelt and later served Truman as Chairman of the Inter- national Development Advisory Board. During Dwight Eisenhower's administration, he was Under Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, and in 1958 won his first term as Governor of New York. He held that job through four straight terms until his resignation in 1973 to become Chairman of the Commission on Critical Choices for America, which he both set up and financed. Following his nomination as vice-president, Rockefeller had several weeks of Congressional questioning and probing to endure - into his background, his connections, and primarily, his great wealth, which has been estimated at between S300 million and S500 million. He was confirmed however, with few nay votes, and although there has been some public controversy over an appointed vice-president whose nonination as a presidential candidate was three times rejected by his own party, much of the comment now seems to be, if not particularly favorable, at least objective, as this from a party strategist: Politically, Rockefeller is good. The 'conser- vatives' will not desert in huge numbers. The South will take him. He will help in such areas as New York. He will be perfect for cam- paigning there. And from a government observer, viewing the Ford-Rockefeller team: Ford, after all, is a right-of-center, small- town, Midwestern politician with an anti-urban bias. The real ques- tion is whether he can rise above this. His choice of vice-president offers the first clue. Rockefeller is urban, Eastern establishment, in- ternational in outlook. Ford passed the test - he didn't choose a 'yes' man as his Number 2, a vice-president willing to rest comfortably in the background. COMMENT: Cattle prices in the US are down, they have been for some time, and as a result the farmers have a rather obvious dif- ficulty in meeting the rising cost of feed - yet to resort to the type of barbarianism, dear God the heathenism, involved in the mass slaughter of animals simply to prove a warped point says little for the type of men these are. People are starving in this world, dying from lack of food, and here, in the richest nation on earth, men are wasting beef to protest economic problems - meat that could have fed hundreds of people - America, where are your values? You know, one can overlook a lot of things, make excuses, the validity of which may or may not be questioned, but nothing can ever pardon murder, no matter how smooth the alibi - for is that not really what it is? Murder, yes, not only of defenseless, trusting animals, but indirectly of the people those animals might have fed - again, America, this is addressed not to you, but to your people - where are your values? Where is your humanity, have you lost that too with the coming of civilization? Where is your sanity? Let us not be forced to mourn the passing of these things too. . . jo sgojyuoo 0159.11 eqg jo SQIQIPTISPO 91,11 119 5U,Il91!I!q9'-191 H- B CD v-.

And no one knows that better than the 1974 Spartans. Bixby went 5-5, but that record is deceiving. The Spartans lost four of their games by a total of 16 points, and gave such powerful teams as Jenks, Skiatook and Pawhuska all they wanted. Still, they figured in the playoff picture till the final contest, when Collinsville shut the door with a 7-6 heartbreaker. On the plus side were big wins over Mason, Dewey and Cleveland with shutouts of Holland Hall and Union. Three of the victories came by a total of eight points. With head coach J. C. Stubbs in his second year, the Spartans showed they were stronger on offense and defense than last year's squad. Nine lettermen will be lost for next year, but many fine players return and perhaps soon Bixby football can be returned to the prominence it once enjoyed. Most Spartan players and fans agreed that this year was a step in that direction. 1. T. Cox C225 sweeps around end against Skiatook as quarterback S. Cashon C143 looks on. 2.

The junior High basketball teams made a fine showing this year. The girls finished the season with a 13-4 record and the boys with a 8-8 record. Both teams showed outstanding potential for fine futures in the Spartan basketball program. The girls team won their conference with a 5-1 conference record defeating Union late in the year to win it. They also l reached the finals of the Haskell Tournament before being beaten by the Haskell team. This marked the first time that this group of girls had been to the finals of any tournament, and showed their rate of improvement. The girls finished their season strong winning six of their last seven games. The boys started the season winning five of their first seven games before hitting a mid-season slump. Showing tremendous potential and depth the boys reached the finals of the Sperry jr. High Tournament before losing their first game of the year to Berryhill. With a 4-2 conference record the boys finished the year strong winning three of their last four games. The Bixby Spartan basketball program is looking forward to good years ahead because of the talent that may be develop- ing in the junior high teams.

Unique in many ways, yet like a thousand other small towns, Bixby pulses with activity. This is no small wonder, for people living and working in Bixby contribute to the community in varied ways. Putting their professional ser- vices to use for the people of Bixby, the Bixby Fire Department, Police Department, Health Center, Medical Practitioners, Bixby Telephone Com- pany, Bixby Trash Service and the Bixby Bulletin aid in protecting and informing the area residents. The Bixby Fire Department has a chief, assistant chief and two lieutenants who are full-time employees as well as two captains and nine volunteer firemen. Bixby's police department employs one chief and five patrolmen, along with one new addi- tion, who is a female police officer. Administering to many of the needs of the community, the Bixby Health Center provides services such as im- munization clinics, preschool screen- ing, family planning clinics and health screening. Three dentists, two osteopaths and one general prac- tioner also minister to the community medically. Telephone and trash ser- vices are provided by the in- dependently owned Bixby Telephone Company, and Bixby Trash Service. The Bixby Bulletin, with a circula- tion of 2,500 and a new editor, Terry L. Cooper, keeps Bixby's citizens in- formed. Supplying the area with spiritual enrichment are 22 churches represen- ting eight denominations, which promote activities and involvement of both young and old. Utilities for the city are supplied by both municipally owned and state owned concerns. The city has its own lagoon sewerage treatment plant, and derives water from Bixhoma Lake, which is a recreation spot as Well as a water source. Gas and electricity are provided by Oklahoma Natural Gas Company and by Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company. Weather in the Bixby vicinity is generally temperate with mild winters and occasional snow which stays on the ground only a day or so, and rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year. Temperatures range from a low of near zero in winter to summer highs of near 100 degrees. Weather conditions and location of recreational facilities make Bixby an excellent place for outdoor activities. Bixby's City Park has playground facilities and many community events are held there each year. Superb fishing can be found at Bixhoma Lake, as well as other lakes throughout the state. Golf courses, hunting areas, and lakes where boating, swimming, water ski- ing and scuba diving are available are within short driving distance from Bixby. Bixby's placement in the heart of a rich river basin makes it an ex- cellent area for truck farming, which furnishes a living for some 15 to 20 farmers, as well as jobs for students and recognition for the town. Golden corn, juicy melons, okra, tomatoes and more entice people from Tulsa to flock to Bixby fruit stands to select fruits and vegetables for their families. Living in a river basin can also have adverse effects as many people discovered during the floods and tor- nadoes of June 8, 1974 and other seasonal flooding. An estimated 5750.000 of damage occurred in the Hickory Hills and Greenmac ad- ditions and in a wide area somewhat north and east of Bixby. Although the residents have recovered from the after effects, reaction to the flooding is still continuing. A group of citizens calling themselves Action South filed a protest petition early in December, 1974 which eventually halted a proposed 545,000 ditch clean-out project in the Fry Drainage District. Backers of the project believed that the 66 year-old drainage ditch, which runs through the west-central section of the Fry Drainage District, had ac- cumulated debris over the years and was no longer able to provide ade- quate drainage for the area. They further felt that flooding on June 8, 1974, which left almost 250 homes flooded with 5 to 20 inches of water as a result of storm conditions, proved this contention. The protest group, Action South , stated in their peti- tion that only a small number of land owners in the area of Fry Drainage District were directly affected by the flooding. The group said that they would rather wait for a complete study by the U.S. Corps of Engineers instead of settling for what they believed to be only a stop-gap measure. In a meeting attended by many members of Action South on December 17, 1974, the city council voted to prepare a letter of intent to be sent to the Tulsa County Com- missioners requesting a study by the Corps of Engineers, which hopefully would present a solution to the problem once and for all . The proposed study would take appr- oximately two-and-one-half years to complete, with the cost of the project estimated at S4 million. The Corps of Engineers would finance the total cost of the study and also be obligated to pay up to half of the total project bill. If the project proved feasible the county and Bixby pledged to make every effort to provide local support for the remainder of the cost. i Carl 3 Fenderson Opal WN' Earl Bender Citizens of Bixby can always be found par- ticipating in the community's organizations and work. Whether they are interested in city govern- ment or the social, civic and fraternal clubs, the town has much to offer. An attempt has been made to include some of the most prominant citizens and active groups in the list following, each of which plays a significant roll in the functions and business of Bixby. CITY COUNCIL- Under a city council- manager form of government, a rapidly growing Bixby is kept running smoothly. The mayor, Carl Fenderson, who was elected for a two-year term by the council, and the city manager, Art Smith, play major leadership rolls. The Bixby City Council, which consists of five councilmen, including one from each ward, makes decisions about issues such as annexing land and zoning in the Bixby area. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM- Bixby's new Community Develop- ment Program is also closely associated with the City Council. It involves a program which would cover a three year period, and includes a IOOWQ grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to be applied toward a community project that can be completed in one year. Among the projects proposed for Bixby are a community center building, tennis courts, swimming pool, and historical preservation. SCHOOL BOARD- Although the school boardis concern is almost exclusively the school, decisions made by these men continue to affect the whole community. The newly elected member of the board is Earl Bender. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE- Under the directorship of Doug jackson, who is the acting president, the Chamber holds weekly meetings which serve mainly as an exchange of information between the various businesses and organizations of Bixby. They have also recently completed papers setting up an Industrial Trust naming Bixby as the beneficiary. PILOT INTERNATIONAL CLUB- Opal Brewer serves as president of this women's service organization. It's 27 members are all women of ex- ecutive position who participate in projects such as helping to sponsor the annual Arts and Crafts Fair, helping to renovate Bixby's Welcome sign, and their current project, which is providing eyeglasses for needy children. OPTIMISTS CLUB- Chuck Aldread acts as president of the Optimists with Friends of Youth as their motto. They have been instrumental in for- ming a Soccer Club, working to build the park bandstand and helped to finance the Welcome to Bixby sign. MASONS AND EASTERN STAR- Under their Worshipful Master and Worthy Matron, Carl Rowe and Clella Mulkey, the Masons and Eastern Stars work closely. Money they collect for the Masonic Home March is contributed to worthy causes. . ODD FELLOWS AND REBEKAHS- With Lewis Shimp as their Noble Grand, the Odd Fellows continue their service of lending hospital equipment free of charge. Together with the Rebekahs, whose Noble Grand is Cleo Nichols, they sponsor one stu- dent in the U.N. Pilgrimage for Youth program and contribute to causes such as their Home Fund which supports a home for the aged, and for homeless children. FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY- With Ramona Ray as President, the club does volunteer work in the library as well as sponsoring the Book Fair. They also host monthly programs featuring book reviews by per- sons such as Rev. Don Wheat. YOUNG AT HEART- Meeting in the library each month with an average attendance of 30 people this senior citizens group enjoys a covered dish supper, followed by entertainment, Bingo or other activities. BiCENTENNIAL COMMITTEE- This com- mittee consisting of Robbie Boman, Mae Hair, Jim Brown, Tony Bruce and Ruby Henderson with Opal Brewer as president will sponsor activities promoting Bixby's heritage and recognizing its pioneers in a year when the nation is celebrating its bicentennial. Cordia Swingle, one of the Bixby's 90 year old citizens who is pictured on the opposite page and Gen. N. P. Wood, a Retired Marine Corps Brigadier General, who lived in Bixby and was very active in his church and the Masonic Lodge, exemplify the fact that Bixby citizens have a heritage of which to be proud.

The two massive undertakings were the Waterfront Shopping Center and the new high school building. Construction on the Waterfront complex was begun early in 1974 with the first increment, a Safeway store, opening in October. This was followed by the A and B Custom Framing shop, which opened in December and the T.G.8r,Y. store which held its grand openingl' in mid-February. The center, located at the northeast corner of 121st and Memorial, also had space to house about eleven more stores. Bixby's other major building project was that of the rising high school building. The new facility was begun in April of 1974 and was scheduled to be completed by the end of May 1975, with the auditorium completed sometime in july. Costing approximately S873,000 the building contained features such as, a more spacious suite of offices, snack bar and area for eating, darkroom facilities, large library-media center with a small study room, and wider halls. Students touring the building during final stages of completion were also pleasantly surprised by its adequate science labs, home economics department, and large rooms in- cluding several with a dividing wall, that can be folded back for lectures or films involving two classes. Construction also being completed for new school facilities included a P.E. building to house seventh and eighth grade P.E. classes. Another endeavor which was completed during the year was the bandstand in Bixby's City Park. This involved cooperation by individuals and clubs from the community who donated time, effort, or money to aid in its construction. Bixby's water system continued to expand as domestic water lines were completed in all of North Heights addition and about two thirds of the Southwood and Southern Memorial additions. Residents receiving this service were charged a S125 tap fee. Continuing to look ahead, Bixby will vote on a bond issue for a new fire station north of the river in an April election. The station, if built, would be located at 121st and 84th East Ave. and would provide more complete fire protection for residents north of the river. Students Explore Fascinating And Unique Places. . . The scope of territory that B,H,S. students have covered during the year is astounding. Some have traveled outside the U.S., while others have visited areas within its boundaries. We have included several Students in an attempt to explain that their ventures outside of school are just as fascinating as their lives at home. Last spring, Nancy Dilbeck toured Switzerland with a church group, while Larry Compton, Russell Odum, Roger Cousins and Kim Weyler took part in a tour of Old Mexico. Linda Bever journeyed to Canada last summer, while Richard Bailey traveled all over the U.S. working on a wheat harvest crew. Linda Kirkpatrick and Lori Wellman flew to New York and were also able to set foot in Canada when they visited Niagra Falls. Kathy Stevens was a dinner guest at the mayor's house in Greenville, Mississippi and Sheila Rush took a trip to New Orleans. Terry Dickey attended a National jr. Florists Convention in BELOW: Stan Conrad and Larry Compton discuss pineapple farming with a native Hawaiian during their travels through Hawaii last fall. Oklahoma, whereas Jim Breidenbach visited Germany and England, in- cluding a stop at a Canadian Air Base in Belgium, with the C.A.P.'s. Several students took excursions through Arkansas, Texas, Missouri, Kansas or Colorado which included students involved with the Riverview Baptists choir's tour, the high school's band, or family outings. Many also spent a day at Six Flags, Silver Dollar City, or on float trips down the Illinois River. In addition, Chuck Hendricks traveled through Mexico, while Bill Creath made plans for a bicycle trip through Germany and England this summer. Bixby has a wealth of young peo- ple of which to be proud. Students are constantly receiving honors in a number of areas. Among the recent awards given to students at B.H.S. from sources outside the school is the Who's Who in American High Schools recognition received by several junior and seniors from Bix- .

Ann Champlain and Matt jones were named Students of the Quarter by the Optimists Club and were guests of the club at a breakfast given in their honor. LaDonna Henry was voted 1974's Employee of the Year 'by her fellow employees and was promoted to assistant manager of the South Bixby Dairy Queen. Chosen Engineer for a Day , Steve Mahaffey participated with other area high school seniors who were guests of local businesses that employ engineers. Jim Breidenbach was a recipient of honors in the Civil Air Patrol, including promotion to a Lieutenant Colonel, while Monica Lewis was promoted to the rank of Midshipman in her branch of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadets. Laura Doyels was given S100 U.S. Savings Bond for her winning entry on bus safety in the Oklahoma School Safety Poster Contest. Students continued to be recognized for academic performance, as Nancy Dilbeck was offered a tuition-paid scholarship to O.S.U. Jobs take a large portion of students' time. Some students attend Vo-Tech in Tulsa and study an assortment of things from Mechanics, Commerical Art, or Cosmetology to Medical or Dental Assistants, Hor- ticulture, and Chemical Lab Technology. Receiving practical training at the school, students are often placed in a job after a period of time. These and other students at BELOW: Tommy Moore, a horticulture stu- dent at Vo-Tech, shows the proper way to pot a plant. Bixby can be found working in a wide variety of places. Summerjobs are es- pecially prevalent among high school- age students, although many also choose to work through the school year. Stores such as T.G.8r,Y., Dairy Queen and Safeway employ probably the largest group of students. Last summer, Nita Jackson was occupied by filling in for Mrs. Ewing while, Theresa Hanslik and Kim Weyler both worked at greenhouses. Jimmy Hampton hauled hay and Mark Boatman did farm work. Some of the students working in grocery stores in- clude Eddie Farris, jeff Lovitt, and Terry Dickey. David Cashon works part-time at Kentucky Fried Chicken and Steven Whited is employed at Bixby Cafe. Kathy Stevens and Leslie Keaton are both employed at Playland Day Care Center, while Linda Smith and Debbie Nichols both work at Pennys. Rick Williams works at Skaggs Camera Department and Terry Smith is a part-time employee of Hodges Van Lines. Gayle Gibson is employed at the Bix- by Flower Basket, while Pam Reib and Dana Duffie have jobs at Ken's Pizza. These are only a few of the varied ways in which Bixby students put their talents to work. In their jobs, as well as in every phase of school and life in general every person at Bixby High School contributed something special.

Finding crazy hats for Bike Day, digging up old clothes for 50ls Day, and dressing up in our Sunday best was half of the fun for three days last Spring. Starting out right with a perfect Spring day, bicycle fans grouped north and south of the river to pedal into school on Bike Day. The fun continued at lunch time when the bicyclists invaded Bixby as they flocked to lunch-crazy hats and all! 50ls Day was another welcome change from the normal school routine as girls with pony tails, bobby socks, and swirling skirts joined boys with slicked-back hair, leather jackets and rolled-up jeans to revel in nostalgia. Later that evening everyone gathered at the old gym for a first rate sock hop. Sponsored by the juniors of 73-74, the Prom was held on April 20, 1974. Dressed in tuxedos and formals, we danced to the music of Revolution '74, until the Prom ended with the theme song, The Way We Were. l. Chris Wardlaw is an example of what you might see on 50's day. 2. Karen Christiansen and Susan Dunning find that biking to lunch is fun. 3.

V W 'K 'W' Q5 K Flames F1n1sh Foe Gathering at near dusk around the flagpole, Bixby fans watched as Spartan co-captain Steve Abel hurled the Trojan to the ground. Awaiting Spartans tromped the body while fans cheered. Proceeding to the site of the bonfire, the crowd encircled the boys and cheerleaders, as the Trojan effigy was thrown onto the fire. Sounds of popping firecrackers were heard, as Bill Bailey lit the fire and flames engulfed the wood. Enthusiastic cheerleaders led the crowd in cheers, and joined the football boys as they circled the fire chanting the traditional Burn, Trojan, Burn! Bur- ning quickly, the Trojan was left behind as the football team, cheerleaders, drill team, and their dates set out for a weiner roast at Janet Wheeler's house. 1. Steve Abel, co-captain of the team, flings the Trojan effigy from the flag-pole. 2. The final preparations to toast the Trojan are made by Bill Bailey. 3.

Overalls were 'a favorite as students dressed like Farmer John in colors which ranged from plain blue or white to stripes and checks. Fancy footwear was present everywhere as students donned platform shoes of every size and shape creating the illusion that students had suddenly sprouted a few inches. They were a favorite of guys and girls alike. Platform sandals were also a part of many a B.H.S. girls' wardrobe. Ranging from intricately embroidered designs to a few simple stitches, Bixby's halls were filled with em- broidered workshirts. Everything from Holly Hobbies to animals, rainbows, flowers or cars were seen almost anyday. Other popular shirt styles were fancily fashioned western type shirts. very different from those of a few years ago. Another of the most popular fads was the toe socks mania. Finally each toe meant something to onlookers as students took off their shoes and exposed in- dividual toes each clad in their own colored niche. Regular socks of every color and pattern under the sun could also be seen peeking out from the bottom of students pantslegs. Crazy hats as always, were a part of dress for fun and every student had his own type of garb for personal identifica- tion. 1. Six mysterious persons display their fabulous feet. 2. The photographer catches Roger Cousins in his favorite hat. 3. Scott McCollum shows-off the han- diwork on his workshirt. 4. Nita Jackson models shoes with a lot of soul . 5. Rita Randall and Lorrie McNeal exhibit their embroidered workshirts. 6. Keith Means is partial to his overalls for daily wear. 7. Another pair of feet exposes its fancy footwear.

Besides competing for spirit ribbons every Friday, and decorating the halls, they had special activities to boost pride in the school's teams. Cheerleaders sponsored a Beat Skiatook breakfast and painted store windows before the Jenks foot- ball game. The student body enjoyed skits using coaches in starring roles during pep assemblies. When Skiatook went to the state playoffs, Bixby Students sent them a good- luck wish signed by everyone. Students were also faithful sup- porters of the wrestling and basket- ball teams as they Went on to successful seasons. 1.

AN.-Aff! Carnival Without The Rides, Santa P A Claus Boogies, Grin in Bear It I -sw l at M Student senate elections were held during the first of October. Many candidates filed, and cam- paign signs and slogans plastered the walls. Candidates presented their views and gave speeches in an assembly. Students voted later. Carnival sounds filled the bus barn as spooks and goblins gathered at the band's annual Halloween Carnival. A sponge throwing booth and dunking booth, where athletes were the victims, were among the favorites. Other booths, such as the cake walk, dart booth, spook house, ring toss, and the shooting gallery lined the walls. In a Christmas dance to remember, Students and Santa Claus Boogied to the music of Wilderness. Participants received candy kisses from Santa while they danced. To make an even more festive occasion the Who's Who winners were announced. Being late seemed to be a part of going to school. Much to the grief of Coach Bayles, his office was filled many times with students waiting for tardy slips and admits. At times he even found his chair overtaken by of- fice aids. 1. Santa Claus takes time to boogie at the Christmas dance. 2. Mr. Sparks and Coach Bayles get caught telling Santa what they want for Christmas. 3. Clara Hembree runs the dart booth at the Halloween Carnival. 4. Coach Bayles finds his job of writing tardies has been taken over by Lorrie McNeal. 5. Coach Stubbs keeps an eye on Peanuts Johnson in Study hall. 6. Russell Smith gets the feel of being an assistant principal. 7. Gary Byars gives a campaign speech smile for Vice-President of the Student Senate. Someone always seems to be raising money for their own cause. As a result someone is always selling their own special product. Whether it is the Juniors and their lightbulbs, N. H. S. and their Valentine corsages, Home-Economics and their Tom Watt showcase, or band and their candy, Bixby High School is full of potential sales people. Sports events involve students in many phases. Members of the teams play in their role as the main attraction but others are also necessary to make the events a success. The drill team and other groups provide entertainment at func- tions, while Concession stand workers are needed to feed the fans. Spring seems to bring out an extra amount of mischievous energy in everyone. Love blooms as the weather turns warm and students prepare for track and baseball. Spring fever infects students, especially Seniors, making them eager to be outdoors and away from school. 1. The cameraman catches Coach Hanson and wrestlers, Mike Ward, Tim Rodgers, Scott Neff, and Byron Gibbs in the dressing room. 2. The BHS Drill Team marches out for their final performance of the year. 3. Jerry Smith gives service with a smile at the concession stand run by the football boys. 4. Sheryl Kennemer sells for the home-ec project. 5. Susan Bailey says Luv is. . . a Valentine Corsage. 6. Tim Cox plays in the mud while running track. Love, Goofin ' Off J Sports And Things A A AI's Pals And Lunch W W7 n r f A Bunch Clownzng Around Meeko, the chimpanzee and Yogi, the bear starred in one of the most en- joyable National School Assemblies ofthe year. Performing stunts such as riding a tricycle and walking on their hind legs, they awed the students. Lunchtime is the highlight of many students' day. Grabbing a quick bite at Sherrill's Dairy Queen, Tastee Freeze, the Donut Shop, or Ken's Pizza, they sit down for a few minutes to eat in the com- pany of their friends. It is also a time for so-called antics . Holes in the parking lot have long been a point of concern for students. Splashes of muddy water and gigantic jolts plague students' cars as they make their daily trips through the parking lot. 1. Sherrie Gaither poses for a picture with Laurel and Hardy. 2. Linda Miller puts on her shoes after a day of skiing in New Mexico. 3, Randy Foutch sneaks a sucker in Senior English. 4. Will the real Arlen Hemphill please show his face? 5.

Steve Gibson And Lorrie McNeal Top Scholars A valedictorian is defined as the student of the graduating class who pronounces the valedictory or bid- ding farewell oration at commencement, and is usually the student who ranks first in scholarship. Students receiving this honor for the graduating class of 1975 are janet Adams and Theresa Hanslik. Described as being the graduating student who is se- cond highest in rank, the salutatorian pronounces the salutatory or welcoming address. Sharing the salutatory honors are Jim Breidenbach, Steve Mahaffey and Nancy Dilbeck. Bill Creath has also received recognition as a top scholar. He was named a National Merit Scholarship Finalist, an honor bestowed on only one-half of one per- cent of the high school seniors taking the S.A.T. test, and will be eligible for one of the 1,000 National Merit Scholarships given each year.

Along with the ex- citement of getting out of school. they were faced with the task of making plans for the future. Some students were busy taking aptitude tests and choosing a college, while others made plans for a job or marriage after gradua- tion. Early in the year they ordered announcements and wgre fitted for caps and gowns. Dances, concerts. clubs, sports. and other ac- tivities provided entertain- ment as graduation quickly approached. 98 MARTY ARTERBURN RICHARD BAILEY ED BARTON DWIGHT BEERS DEBBIE BENNETT LINDA BEVER MARK BOATMUN CHUCK BOLES Seniors Face Plan STEVE ABEL COLLEEN ADAMS JANET ADAMS DARLA AMOS DEBORAH ANDERSON VERONICA ARMSTRONG M3k1.Hg for the Future MICHELE BOMAN JIM BREIDENBACH CATHY CALVERT DALE CARMICHAEL GALE CARMICHAEL PAULA CARR DAVID CASHON CATHY CLINTON CINDY COBB SANDY COBB GAIL COMPTON LARRY COMPTON FAR LEFT: Senior class offlcers Pres.-Charlie Head, Vlce Pres.-Larry Compton.

Beginning early in the year, the junior class worked on projects to raise enough money for the Jr.-Sr. Prom. During football season they sold concessions at games. Their new stand and a different location improved sales, since they were no longer hidden under the visitor's bleachers. Their next project was selling magazines, and selling Tupperware was the final project. Since deliveries were made before Christmas they were able to sell some items for Christmas gifts. Ordering rings was a mixed blessing. A wider selection of colors and cuts of stones made the juniors anxious for the delivery date, but the high prices left some doubts about how they would pay for the rings. When the rings finally did arrive though, they were convinced that their new possessions were worth every penny.
