€ndlc doy droq on ond on For some students school is a drag. Going to school day after day lis- tening to the same teach- ers gets monotonous. Over and over parts of speech in English, graphs in algebra, figures in ac- counting and drill lessons in typing (jet pretty boring by the third nine weeks. Sleeping in class is rare- ly seen in FHS but when it is everybody finds out quickly. Tne normal sleeping student usually doesn't sleep for just one hour but ends up waking up after the next hours class has already taken up, finding himself surround- ed by strange, smiling faces. Reading stories during English has found numer- ous students' collapsed heads down on the open English books. English teachers are continously trying to keep droopy- eyed students from 'zonk- ing out' on their books. After sitting through two or even four basket- ball tournament games waiting for the hometown team to play, bored spec- tators can be seen wig- gling on their seats wait- ing tor the action to be- gin. Early band practice finds half of tne band players marching in their sleep. After waking up a majority of them do know what to do. Writing weekly stories for yearbook drags on during the first semester but sticking with it pays off when the test of writ- ing copy becomes easier during the closing of the year. Every break was wel- comed — a fire or torna- do drill, an assembly, even the not-so-good magician was cheered. Working after school can also be a drag. A per- son gets a job to have spending money, then works so many hours that there is no time to spend it on those trips to Enid for a movie or to Oklaho- ma City for a concert. Even time for a visit with a friend or a late-date to the Sonic must take its turn to school and work. When the 180 seeming- ly endless school days are over and lockers are being cleaned out someone says, 'Boy, didn't this year go fast.' And, surprisingly, everyone agrees that it really did. WORKING HARD with little disturbance. Tony Pendergraft checks his math while Carl Hein and the rest of the class are apparently in a daydreaming world. LIEING DOWN ON THE JOB Susan Glasgow takes forty winks from her job as a school librarian, during a slow check out time. THESE BORING DRILL LINES! Jim Fast, Mark Castleberry, Kena Krob, and Kendall Reeves tap through drill lines to increase their typing ability. 28 Student Life

Getting there— anyway possible As the cost of gas and oil soared, innova- tive students looked for new and cheaper ways of 'gettin' there.' Mopeds, bikes, roller- skates, skateboards, jogging and even walk- ing were some of the money-saving ways to get around. Daily stories of the misadventures of the car drivers were dis- cussed by the hour, during school and after — How Sandi Booth parked in the parking lot after band each morning — What un- fortunate soul took Kyle Williams' parking place — Leaving the windows open with a rain storm coming up, and not being able to get out of class to close them — Broderick Bar- kett parking too close to the curb, getting his door stuck in the ground, backing up, and springing the door. There were fender benders at concerts and $25 parking viola- tions at OSU during ACT tests. Sometimes gas was not the only ex- pense for transporta- tion. The expense was worth it though. When students could not fight the urge, they would hit Main Street at 7:00 p.m. and drive until 11:00. When they wanted to get out among people without wasting gas, they drove to Ideal's, Pizza Hut's or Farmer and Merchant's parking lots and waited for a crowd to gather. Many people found NEW SKATES. Juniors Terri McKee and Debby Stepp speed around the corner of the school during semester test week. easier ways to save gas and have fun doing it. Skating on the streets became popular soon after Christmas when temperatures began to rise (and after skates were received for Christmas.) By the end of school, the sound of whirring plastic wheels on concrete sidewalks was common (and the sound of dogs barking as they chased the skat- ers.) Letters to Santa writ- ten to the STING at Christmas designated the Trans Am, Camaro, Cutlass and other sporty lookin cars, as the ideal present. At raduation, cars that ad good gas milage were on tne list of 'what to buy the gra- duate.' The skateboard moved into vogue as an effective means of transportation. For the younger set, the Moped and cycle got them where they were going without putting a strain on their allowance. HELPING HANDS. Futuristic stunt driver Tom Pearson starts down the ramp on a tricycle with the help of 'mechanics' Curtis Stewart and Tim McCall during class night prophecies. EASY NOW. Kerry Jordan is one of the few coordinated persons who is able to use a skateboard as transportation. RIDE 'EM COWBOY, Jaquita Helton rides on Byron Dow's back during the relay race at Sadie Hawkins' Day events in the park. Gettin' There 27
