UKE FATHER LIKE SON. lohn Sellars spends some of his free time with his son in the teachers' workroom reading BOOKWORMS. When the new yearbooks came in, everyone lined up in the corridor to sign books, read copy, and reminisce a little on the past year Back in the Swing Citizens and students filled the stands, anxious to see what lay in store for the football team at the Chisholm game Acquiring by marriage the respon- sibility of two more children and a wife, Mr. )ohn Sellars added an extra room onto his home. Peeking behind the closed stage cur- tain at the Fair Queen contest, any per- son would be shocked to see girls squatting down in long formals with roses in their mouths, dancing, or talking loudly. Then, they were suddenly transformed into young ladies and walked gracefully across the stage. Last year's Fair Queen Suanne Wymer ap- proached Michelle Freed with her new- ly earned crown. When asked how Suanne felt about giving up her title, she said, 'I was joking with Michelle as I put the crown on her head. I wasn't sad, because I was happy for her.' Kim Koehn, Michelle Freed, Bettina Hale, Cindy Abel, and Suanne Wymer decided to liven up their evening at Enid. They dressed 'Punk.'' After seeing the movie Pink Floyd; The Wall the girls went to McDonalds. ’Walking into McDonalds was embarrassing, but standing in line at the movie was worse,' said Bettina Hale. Cindy, speak- ing with a British accent, received aid from another 'Punk Rocker' counting out money, for her meal. The surprise on people’s faces was overwhelming. The middle of September arrived without any news of the Yearbooks. Students were worried; the yearbook staff was even more concerned. When the news leaked into the halls that the yearbooks had finally arrived, students commented, 'Well, it's about time.' But, too late for OIPA judging,' moaned Mrs. jimmie Lou Ward. Pari-mutual betting passed in Oklahoma but was left as county option (the issue failed in Major County by a large majority). A member of Royalty, Princess Grace, died in a car accident at the age of 52. 'It was a shame. She lived among royalty but never lost her com- mon touch,' lamented Mrs. Nancy Winn. Deaths by cyanide-poisoned Ex- tra Strength Tylenol Capsules led to an outburst of over-the-counter drug poisonings. Two amusing moments will always stand out. One was during Mr. lohn Sellars’ fourth hour chemistry class who witnesses Duane Frerichs eating rose petals. The other happened to four FHA girls who were picking up Mary Beth Lawler for the surprise breakfast, and were received by Mrs. Lawler singing 'Good Morning to you.' 'I didn't know what to think I was shocked,' com- mented Kris Schroeder. October 11

A streak of lightning flashed across the sky as sleepy-eyed band members practiced their halftime routine for the evening's game. The wind whistled through the wooden stands as all eyes turned toward the sky. A tornado, spot- ted south of the ball field, sent everyone running to their cars for shelter. 'Not a thing was dry! I had to go home and take a ton of antibiotics.- said Cheryl Cunningham who had driven her jeep into town with the top down that day. At the school juniors were busily sorting their mums to be delivered when the tornado whistle pierced the air. Students were rushed into the gym locker rooms. Mary Claborn made a quick trip home to close all the win- dows that had been left open. I just didn't want to have to clean up the mess,' explained Mary. Only minutes later the rain stopped and the sun was shining. Mum deliveries were resumed without delay, except for Kaylene Young and Jeanna Loftus who sat at the Mini Mart while they waited for the gas pumps to be turned on. 'What else could we do?' said jean- na. 'We were out of gas!' The sun was still shining as the annual parade festivities began with colorful floats modeled after the theme of 'Oklahoma's 75th.' Perhaps the highlight of the afternoon was the pep assembly held before school was let out for the day. All of the students were in class when loud yells and cheers echoed through the halls. Mothers dressed in orange and black began pulling pupils out of their seats, forming a chain of excited fans. They then led everyone into the gymnasium where cheers that were popular in the 50's were presented. The high school cheerleaders took over the pep assembly and with the pep band playing the school song, another day of Homecoming festivities was history. Run for Cover LOTS Of HOT AIR. Pep Club members Lesa McCollum and Molly Edwards carefully sort out the personalized balloons to be given to the football players before the evening's big game MY LOCKER LOOKS BETTER THAN YOURS!
