Student Life 7

Page 13 text:

Football games, band practices, and local fairs were proof that school was in full swing in Sep- tember. As Brad Martens kicked off in the first football game with Thomas, the 1974 season started. Halftime entertainment at most games was provided by the march- ing band. Practicing in forceful winds at 7:30 a.m. was not uncom- mon for our musicians. The band performed its first public concert at the Major County Free Fair. With Audrey Green as first runner-up and Ronna Patee as sec- ond runner-up, we were represented well at the Fair Queen Contest which opened the fair. In another type of competition, livestock showing, FFA members came out on top. At the Major County, Oklahoma City, and Tulsa Fairs, Mark Elwell, Dennis Ewbank, Randy Cofer, and Mitch Zimmer- man took many championships in the sheep divisions. After much bribery and cajol- ing, a last-ditch effort was made to produce cheerleaders. Tryouts were held in early September much to everyone's relief. In an attempt to recreate school spirit, a pep club was organized, and it took to the stands during football season. TOP LEFT: Early in September class officers are elected.
