0 From Vocalizing Thoughts To Singing Carols . . . Fine Arts Challenge Sandites To Win Oklahoma, every night my honey lamb and I, sit alone and talk, and watch a hawk making lazy circles in the sky, sang Brian Blackwell. The fine arts musical production was an excellent rendi- tion of Oklahoma. Many students participated in the play and new faces appeared on the stage. I think it was the best play I have ever seen at Charles Page. The actors were of much higher quality, commented Scott Isley. The Christmas production produced by the choir was based upon a completely new angle. The live Christmas tree was not seen by Sandites. The choir only used one song that they had sung before, Merry Christmas Past. The group had many more members this year with more talented soph- omores than had been in choir previously. Denise Luce took the place of Terry Mullins on the piano. Denise pllayed for Select Choir and her mother played' for Mixed Choir. I enjoyed choir this year and without Mr. McConnell the choir would not be where it is now, stated Kelly Hopper. The Charles Page High School marching band changed their style to drum corps. The band members learned new marching steps and changed their basic fundamentals. The BANDITES - The band performs their new routine to the song Let It Be Me during half time activities at a home game. Their performances were superb throughout the marching and concert seasons and as a result of their efforts they earned many awards. 94 Fine Arts old members had to forget everything that they had learned in the past about marching. The band's new style brought them first place Sweepstakes trophy in the fir parade com- petition in Tulsa and a first at the Hound Dawg Festival at Aurora, Missouri. I think the band had the most exciting show it has ever had in the history of this school and we definitely had one of the best bands in the state, commented Richard Fisher. As usual Mr. Holmes and Mr. Briscoe were guiding the speech and debate students to the winners' circle. The de- bate and speech teams won a first place Sweepstakes trophy in Tahlequah, which they did not receive last year. The debate teams were more efficient because there were fewer teams and more time was spent with each team. Another advantage for the debaters was that the teams were younger and plans were made for the future. The debate and speech students traveled more during the year than they did last year and attended many more out-of-state tournaments. I think we have a lot of potential and will go a long way this year, stated Chris Wood. DO-RE-ME-FA-SO-LA-TI-DO - Select choir practices singing Christmas carols in preparation for their annual Christmas Choir production present- ed on December 21. Many hours of practice were spent preparing for this program.

Watch Out For That . . Oh No! Drivers' Ed Teachers Take It One Da At A Time THis SEAT BELT woN r BUCKLE - An unknown drivers' ed student prepares for his trip around the neighborhood by buckling in. Many Sandites practiced their driving lessons on the school parking lot at lunch, but sometimes Mr. Hallford seemed to think that they were just Hwreckless drivers. CRASH! BANG! Sparks flying! What is it? It's a bird, a plane, a burning house, NO! It's a drivers' ed student. Seri- ously, though, driving habits can make or break lives of human beings and Mr. Larry Rehl and Mr. Lamar Rials have taken the responsibility of teaching some Sandites how to save their lives plus those of the other people on the road. Taking drivers' education gives students advantages over those who have not taken the course. It can help them reduce their insurance rates and pass the driving test so that they may acquire their license. But for some it can be rather nerve-shattering. I try mostly to forget about it, one day to the next, sighed Mr. Rials. Health education is the opposite semester class for driv- ers' ed students. Its purpose is to teach students about the human body. The class required a sharp memory because students had to memorize the names of the bones in the human body. For some this was a rather tedious task, but the foot bone is connected to the ankle bone which is connected to the leg bone, gave many students a cracking start at this activity. Health education is a semester course in which the stu- 1.
