November At Last! GWTW Television's grand finale came in the every-busy month of November. After 41 years of popularity Gone With the Wind was premiered on nationwide TV. Prime time was also allocated to the Bicentennial presi- dential election with Jimmy Carter winning over ex-President Gerald Ford. Cold weather and the first snow of the season caused a cancellation of the annual Fly-in. Frosty temper- atures also brought about local and nationwide concern of the Swine Flu. Many vaccinations were given with most going to those persons over 18. Disappointing news came for everyone with the death of Smokey the Bear. This longtime hero of forest fire prevention will not be forgotten in the hearts of many. Communist Chinese Leader Mao also died. Through this busy month educat- ion was honored with a National Ed- ucational Week. Activities included the honoring of retiring fifth grade teacher Miss Nina Stewart with a Nina Stewart Day. One day of the week proved to be a shock for every- one. Parents were in school-learning! The happy day for students came when parents substituted for their child in the different classes. They learned how their child made it through the day. They also discovered their hardships such as only three minutes between classes and every- one knows what problems that causes (where's the bathroom!), headaches and the joy of 4:00. National Honor Society got their share of dirty hands when they took on the task of cleaning and reorgan- izing the trophy cases. Along with everything else Seniors were worried. How do I look? and How many pictures do I want?. Senior pictures were only one of the questionable joys of being a Senior. One of the other fun times of the elder class was presenting Our Hearts Were Young and Gay . In this play Jane Strubhart's dream of acting was smashed; but she and her best friend Tammy Gooch had a great time and were found in many embarrassing and funny situations on their trip abroad. Meeting two young men aboard the ship, Mike Freed and Greg Schmidt, brought their greatest hopes to reality. It may have been a busy month, but everyone found time to eat turkey and dressing. The four days of vacat- ion brought joy to many. November was a month of Thanksgiving. I GRADE teacher is presented with nition by Linda on Student life 17

PORTRAYING A DOCTOR, Dale Edwards reads from a Bible to nar- ate the skit depicting Holy scenes December Skits and Parties Herald Holidays Good tidings were spread during December; the month was filled with holiday happiness, basketball and homework. It was a busy time of the year with everyone hustling and bustling around to get Christmas gifts. With football season coming to an end, a new season of basketball began. It was the start of outstanding records for both the boys and girls teams. After months of waiting, the week of Christmas finally came. The bands brought holiday carols to the ears of everyone at the annual concert and Christmas parade. Generosity of FHS students showed through again as individuals and classes bought gifts for the Enid State School. Celebrations of this time of the year could be seen in many class- rooms where parties took place. Greg Schmidt and Steve Vogt churned up a freezer of home ice cream to top off the candlelit Year- book party which started out as just- a-few-snacks-during-class affair! Students celebrated the occasion with a Christmas party in the after- noon. The speech class gave a play about the birth of Christ. Individual classes gave skits and students were entertained by the bell choir and sing- ing group called Shine. The year- book Santa Clause gave 'gifts' to stu- dent body—like Mark Van Meter and Cindy Freed do-it-yourself auto repair kits, Mrs. Ward a Go Big Red bumper sticker and Mr. Sellars a colorful tie. The basketball girls had everyone laughing when they sang Rippetoe the bald-headed coach, and the Seniors frolicked as Santa's elves. The holidays, much looked forward to, finally came. It was a cold, busy and happy time-And cof- fee prices went up. 18 Student Life
