Looking into the feelings of students, one could see the mixed emotions that filled these months. Seniors could not grasp the fact that the year was passing so quickly. 'I started crying when we won the district football game, not only because we won, but also because it was the last district game that I would be a part of,' commented Tammi lensen. Determination opened a new door as the competitive speech class won five individual trophies at the Okeene speech contest. Anticipation was on the faces of students who filled the gym to witness the first basketball games competing against Hennessey. Gathering again in the gym, students came not to see a basketball game but to be entertained, lohn Gerber, dressed western, entertained the students with his guitar and voice. A Christmas dance was held by Kathy and Bobby Carroll at the fair building The room was enhanced by streamers, colored lights, and even a decorated cedar tree. While students danced, STUCO members chowed down on plenty of food at Miss Lynn Vander- work's home Students then studied, and studied some more, preparing themselves for the dreaded semester tests. Sad news accompanied the second day of tests that jack Webb of Dragnet, died. Not everyone was able to have a wonderful lime over the holiday vaca- tion. December 31st at 10:00 am De- wayne Moneypenny was admitted to the Fairview Hospital to have an appen- dix removed. To his terror, the first thing he heard when he woke up was the rumor of a bomb threat. However, it was only a prank. Anxiety, success, disappointment, and anticipation were only a few of the emotions felt and exhibited by these teenagers. Emo- tional Mixup PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. Kathy Ransford.

Don’t Bother Me ... I’m on Vacation! Spring break arrived March seventh and students began fulfilling plans made two months, even six months, in advance. The MVF enjoyed skiing at Red River, New Mexico, after a close call on the way there. Going up a steep curve their bus slowed so much that it began to slide backwards into a ditch. Those aboard froze in their seats, whispering silent prayers. 'I had waited all year for this vacation and I thought that I was not going to get to live long enough to enjoy it,' said Vicki Simmons. It was hard to believe but it was true; their bus broke down on the way back leaving them stranded in Guymon for nearly eight hours. The Baptist group, however, skied safely in Sante Fe, New Mexico. Closer to home Mike Cross, Gregg Miller, and Kevin Hougland gathered in Eddie Winn's living room around the TV to watch the Benny Hill show every night of spring break. Mexico and Texas seemed to be the hot spots to visit. Taking tans to the limit Cindy Abel and Bettina Hale visited Cancun, Mexico while Kim Koehn vacationed at Padre Island. Cheryl Cunningham and Tim Tucker found pre-recorded tapes to be only $3.50 in Mexico. Thursday evening was the busiest night on Main as spring break was coming to a close. Living up the evenings, three eighteen-wheelers could be seen dragging Main along with high school stduents. When classes resumed Mon- day, March 14th, teachers could be heard quieting students with words, You can tell her later. To a teacher vacation is Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and spring break. However, to a student a vacation was anything that he got out of class for. This included pep assemblies, teachers' meetings, and perhaps even an illness. It was not necessary to go anyplace to enjoy a vacation; breaking the classroom monotony was enough, just knowing that I can watch 'Young and the Restless' instead of reading another chapter of Julius Caesar made me happy.' said Kim Cravens.
