All of these im- provements became a part of the stu- dent routine. New opportunities abounded as our community and school came of age . . . As we entered the 80's we hoped the new era might bring a new beginning A time for us perhaps to solve some of the problems which faced us in the seventies and to face new chal- lenges which we would encounter in the years ahead. The end of cheap gasoline came ab- ruptly as gas prices nearly doubled and finally attained the unreachable 51.00 a gallon mark this summer. The climb in prices brought a change in our driving habits, as we all became stingy with the precious liquid. With fossil fuels in short supply, the search for alternative energy sources re- newed with increased fervor. One al- ternative source that gained wide- spread popularity was gasohol a mixture of gasoline and alcohol. Con- sumers gas stations were the first to carry the gasohol product in the Tulsa area. With the attention that the latest energy crisis received, interest focused once again on nuclear energy as an answer to the question of energy for the future. The end of the wasteful seventies brought about a beginning of an in- creased awareness on the part of the student body that resource conserva- tion was now a fact of life. of Keystone lake.

Sandites At the end of last year, student spir- it was at a standstill. Many students felt that our pep assemblies .had be- come stagnated the previous year, as we were separated into homeroom groups rather than the traditional class sections. The Pep Club was also non-existent, as participation had evaporated from the organization sev- eral years ago. However with the beginning of an- other year, a new pride was exper- ienced by the entire student body. We took pride in our school and urged participation in all areas of it. The first day of school was as usual, chaot- ic, but within the confusion of Au- gust, upperclassmen demonstrated theirwleadership in helping the sopho- mores adjust to high school. With this feeling, we looked forward to fall with renewed anticipation. Once again Pep Club became the standard-bearer for spirit with their many activities. The spirit bus was a familiar sight at out-of-town ball games. 'Decorating football players' cars, organizingipep assemblies, and even picking up trash on the school grounds were a part of the club's pro- jects. Pep assemblies were another source of school pride, as the three classes tried to live up to their title as the most spirited. Variations of the rou- tine were added as afternoon as- semblies and honk parades were held to re- , inforce our en- age. 1 The award- winning Pride of Proud Coun- try also added to the spirit with their half- Q it--gi1a,, ' I T time shows and their playing at b a s k e t b a l l games and pep assemblies.
