Don't let anyone ever tell you that Elk City is a culturally deprived hamlet, because this rural metropolis possesses many virtues-Jack told us so. As with all of us, Jack had a particular characteris- tic, that of his walk. Some would label it the Muscle Beach Walk or the Jock Walk : how- ever, only a few privileged people can walk in a constant flex. .Tack was in direct agreement with the saying clothes make the man, for only a man could wear wide ties, cowboy hat and boots, Levis, and a Terry parka. Nevertheless, this was Jack's certain comical identity that added to the novelty of the Class of '6'7. We all hope Jack retains this mode of dress in college so that he might do for them what he did for us. SENIORS Owen Earl Locke Lacrosse 3g Football 3, 45 Photography Club 3, 43 Mustang 45 Vice-President 1, 39 President 2g Academic Honor Roll 3. Owie has undergone a transition in the last two years of his long CA history, from the position of a responsible student to the mania of a madcap photographer. Owie is content snapping the flora and fauna rather than pursuing the goals of a model CA student. In fact, he had the nerve to display his shots corrupting the underclassmen's minds and detracting' from their school work. However, the class has been patient with Owie and that ghastly car of his, and we all send him away to new horizons and new photographic material in college. One re- quest that should be made is that Owie carefully focus his goals. We hope that he continues to develop and always prints his positives 105

Since lover-boy's arival here at CA in the mid- dle of his seventh grade year, he has moved up from the naive and taciturn young middle schooler to a leader not only of the class but the school as well. The Kid was endowed with academic and athletic ability to be praised by all, but the latter was greatly hindered in his last years at CA because of a heart murmur. Joel, as one of the younger CA seniors, spent his time practicing to take his Louisiana water vehicle license test. Whenever there was something happening, The Kid was always there. Joel was quite the leader at the dorm, and he could often be found in the wee, wee hours of the morning leading several of his class mates on a midnight excursion for a snack at Harry's Palace. Joel was a great businessman, or, should we say con-artist, and how will we ever forget how he managed to get hold of those brand new baby blue Solars and for half price yet. What a deall? 104 Russell S. LaRock Glee Club 4, Art 4, Telesis 4. Russ LaRock, Hearts enthusiast and building architect, in his first and final year at CA estab- lished himself as a quiet, confident guy. We par- ticularly admired his stamina in I Math. Russ' contribution to the Howvesfs Winter Issue, pretty well characterizes him-tall, solid, and just enough out of perspective to prove he's human. Russ' quietness was often broken by his singing stints in Glee Club. When he wasn't singing, Russ was usually puzzling over some architectural prob- lem. Unfortunately, one he never did solve was his design for constructing an airfield at CA.

Bob had one of the most distinctive appearances in the school. When he walked down the hall in his boots and long hair, people got a feeling that the one and only Super-Mod had finally come into being. On top of that, he has a motorcycle foutweighs him by 500 poundsl that gives him the dubious honor of being CA's one and only Hell's Angel. However, it is doubtful if the fierce grimace he wore while rid- ing was ever recognized to be only an effort to keep the hair out of his eyes. Bob managed to keep us happy by the use of a very effective noisemaker -the guitar. His band, The Crosstown Bus, has yet to make Carnegie, but Bob would be satisfied if only all the members could get together at the same time for rehearsal. Whatever his extracurricular activities, Bob was also a success in intellectual circles. His knowing criticism was envied by all, and his opinion was always sought after. The never failing, Yeah, right! answer to any question always seemed to satisfy everyone completely. Without Bob, CA would have been rather drab, for that splash of color thumping down the halls always managed to knock the sleep out of your eyes and make the day a little more interesting. 106 Thomas Martin Matthews Mountain Rescue 2, 35 Lacrosse 3, 45 Football 45 Slide Rule 25 Art 2, 35 Gun Club 2, 35 Photography Club 2, 35 Wood- working 45 Mustang 35 Telesis 3, Editor 45 Academic Honor Roll 2,35 Effort Honor Roll 2. Some of us possess the virtue of gritting our teeth at teachers and their assignments. But Tom has that outlook of dissent, accomplished by inform- ing everyone within hearing distance of the injus- tices he has suffered. However, if Tom were ever quiet and content just chewing his tongue, we would believe him to be ill. Of course, our comments are in fun since they are printed in the very publication Tom is editor of. In fact, Tom deserves a great amount of credit for the work he put into the year- book. As we all know, the learning process can not be measured in grades, but rather in experience. We feel confident that Tom gained much in learning this year and hope he puts it to good use in the future.
