Tri-State Music Festival in Enid began the action-packed month of May. Band students participated individually and in ensembles; however, since the band had traveled to Houston in April, they did not attend Tri- State as a group. Another May band activity, sandwiched in the last week of school, was the band awards ban- quet. Special honors presented were the outstanding band students awards. Ronna Patee and Ron Vogt were the high school winners. A novel effect was provided by a newly-formed group. NANCY AND THE SEAWEEDS. The crowning of two queens made the FFA banquet unique. 1974-75 queen Connie Hubble was crowned by Veep Buddy Smith and the 1975-76 queen, Robin Keck was crowned by Pres. Mark Elwell. Despite a muddy arena, a rodeo must go on. The FFA Rodeo was no exception. Bullriders, ropers, bronc busters, and scoop shovel riderswere dragged through the mire and thrown into puddles. Initiating new officers and saying tearful good-byes to seniors was an emotional event for the FHA Chapter. After roses, the chapter flower, were presented to each senior FHA'er and gifts given to officers and Mrs. Goodrich, all girls formed a circle, joined hands and sang 'Pass it On.' Wearing shorts, tennis shoes, and sunglasses, Seniors left at 8:30 on May 7 for Roman Nose, the site of the class Skip Day. After looking over the grounds, finding the paddle boats closed (or were they for Pat Frazer and Karen Bierig?) and setting up the volley ball net, starving seniors demol- ished two picnic tables full of food. Then there was swimming, horseshoes, more volleyball, soft- ball, fishing and finally sleeping. Fishing wasn't too good that day— Mr. Cobble and Brad Keeton fished all afternoon and didn't caich a single fish. At 6:30, exhausted seniors went home to recuperate from sunburns and sore muscles. Emceeing the all sports ban- quet, held at Chamberlain, was Tim West, sportscaster for KOCO T.V. After a dinner served by the high school pep club, parents and students settled down to watch the awards program. Presenting the George Eubanks award to Buddy Smith, the outstanding football player, was Mrs. Eubanks. The outstanding all-round athlete, Steve Zahorsky, was given the Joe Jordan award. Blankets were presented to all Sr. athletes. 20 Student Life
