This year, as always, it was 'The best of times, the worst of times... It was the best of times... Duncan's new elementary school had a gym auditorium available for high school functions. No portable class- rooms obstructed the view between field and high school. The baseball diamond was home from the fairgrounds. The high school gym had a refinished floor. A marquee cheered the highway with school colors and announcements of current Wildkat events. Duncan's band rated a superior at the spring music festival. The Future Homemakers of America brought home the Honor Chapter Award from the state convention. FFAers also won many trophies and awards. Duncan High had a newspaper, printed with the help of an electronic eye machine, capable of reproducing pictures as well as writing, typing, printing. .. .it was the worst of times... Both schools had problems, including leaky roofs. It was harder to service the marquee than to look at it. Honors were still being earned by only the few. Every day, poverty and disease, boredom, misunderstandings, fear, jealousy complicated the problems of individuals, families, people-to-people relationships. In short, just like 1776 and 1789— 1976 was the best of times, the worst of times. 2
