Around every corner Iurked another pop or candy machine ready to gulp down our loose change in exchange for some sugared caffeine or a list of additives longer than the spirit chains. Confusion started this year off with a Federal Department of Agriculture ruling. The confusion was over what the ruling actually stipulated. At first the administration thought all candy, except chocolate and carbonated drinks were banned. Then, out of nowhere, the Tom's candy machines reappeared: The FDA hadn't banned the sour cherries, banana marshmallow pies, or malted milk balls, only the drinks. Finally, lo and behold, the pop machines came back. It turned out that we got to keep our liquified sugar as long as timing devices were installed to shut the machines off during lunch periods. The trash in the halls that had been coming from Coney Islander, Arby's and Quik-Trip all year changed back to our good old wrappers and cans from here at school. It was just like old times.

Establishment woe For us the sixties existed merely in ABC specials on the Beatles and an occasional Sixty Minutes report about one of the many Viet Nam atrocitiesg we had none of the first hand experience of our parents or older syblings. Time put a totally different perspective on how we reacted to what was so important in the make-up of that revolutionary decade. What do you think of when you hear someone mention the sixties? No, not retirement, you are supposed to say, Drugs Well, even though the use of them wasn't as obvious with our generation as with that before, we still had the LSD, speed and the ever-popular marijuana. The Establish ment had two ways of dealing with us sneaky little drug fiends this year. Calling in man's best friend, the Tulsa Police Department used Sam, the wonder dog, to sniff out any contraband we may have stashed away in our lockers or cars. Charmed students ran up to pet the amiable dog as would-be photographers were politely told to get lost. The Education Service Center, Police Department and newspapers were showered with complaints by constitutionally violated students. Later, a court order was passed that Sam's keepers needed warrants to search our cars, but our lockers remained fair game. The Oklahoma Legislature sent drug survey sheets to state high schools. We were asked various questions about our consumption of intoxicants and how well we could act straight when stoned, among other inquiries. Not many of us took the survey seriously, and the legislature ended up getting a warped picture of us, They drink how many gallons of booze each week? In past years the memorial to the late decade, Sixties Day, had born all kinds of side shows: flower children, acid rock and flag covered jeans. This year, even our most devoted sixties enthusiasts had little time to plan their performances as we were informed of the event only days in advance. A few freaks and a Diana Ross wandered around, but the usual spirit just wasn't there. But BTW still managed to maintain a small amount of militancy. We had signs protesting the money spent on the new bit of sidewalk by the smokehole, and a lonely, arm-banded soul protesting the fact that only females could enter the Miss Hornet contest. -i.
