Mr. Wood and his wife moved to Flippin in 1963, and have owned Pioneer Realty since 1975. His wife, Carol, works for High Country Realty in Vellville. They have two daughters who are presently going to Flippin: Kathleen (8th grade) and Terra (7th grade). Mr. Wood has been on the school board for three years. Bill Self- Vice- President Mr. Self was born in Rayville, Louisiana. He moved to Bull Shoals in 1966. He and his wife, Trinika, have three children, two of which are attending school at Flippin: Michael (4th grade), David (2nd grade), and Dea. He has been on the school board for three years. BOAR Jim French was born and raised on a farm in Damascus, Arkansas. He graduated from Southside High School in Bee Branch in 1950 and attended U.C.A. for two years. Mr. French who lives in Bull Shoals and has 6 children who attend school here. Mickey Wood was born right here in Flippin and has lived in this area for most of his life. Mr. Wood is currently employed at Ranger Boats. He and his wife, Barbera have 2 children: Shelli (4th grade) and Brandon. Wallace Sneed- Superintendent Mr. Sneed has had the responsibility of keeping Flippin High School on its feet for seven years now. What would we do without him? Heâs kept our school in tiptop condition, not to mention a few overhauls recently. He helped get the bond issue passed, one which we desperately needed. We know that as long as heâs the guiding force behind Flippin High School, we'll be in good hands. Considering the problems he faces every day, he's doing a remarkable job and deserves alot of praise. Mr. Sneed, Flippin High School thanks you for a job well done. i J.R. McConnaughhay- High School Principal If you looked very hard, you might be able to find a principal with as much personality as Mr. McConnaughhay, but it wouldn't be easy. He has a remarkable friendliness with the students that is unique to his character. His capabilities as an Algebra teacher have been proven at various Algebra tournaments. Mr. McConnaughhay treats his students as real people and attempts to carve responsible adults out of the molds which are placed before him. We appreciate him very much and congratulate him for filling his job to the fullest. Curtis Bryant- Elementary Principal Mr. Bryant has been with Flippin School for five years now. He has been a combination of teacher, counselor, coach, bus driver, referee, and all the other odd jobs that go along with being principal over a large number of kids. His enthusiasm for these jobs prove how invaluable his presence here at Flippin really is. Mr. Bryant is truly a part of this school, and we thank him for his many hours of work dedicated to helping us all live a little better. RDmmiSTRRTion 5 David Barnes Campbell (Secretary) Dale Query Sponsor Mr. Query, âD.Q.,â was a sponsor of the class of '79 for two years. In that period of time he helped lead us through such near disasters,â as our Junior class play, several Homecoming parade floats, and a few car washes. From the beginning he devoted his time and energy to a class who will always admire and respect him. His guidance, along with Mr. Mooreâs, was and always will be a true inspiration to us. Brenda Garkey Ethel Geltner (Reporter) Nancy Guadagnini (Treasurer) Mike Hainey (President) Melody Hoy Herschel Moore-Sponsor In the two years Mr. Moore was with us as our sponsor, he always stood by us and helped us in everything we did. His ability to remain sane with a group like us to sponsor was a feat in itself. Mr. Moore is the kind of man who is very open-minded and was a tremendous help to us. Julie Hyland ----------- â.---------------ââ - Larry Kaminski Johnny Huddleston Karen Kiljander Mark Lane (Blind Hog), Randy White (Whitey), Larry Kaminski (Foot), Eddie Linck, Shane Sanders (Bar), Bruce Rorie (Beagle), and Johnny Huddleston (Rattler) make up the group of seniors who call themselves the SUPER SEVEN. Larry Kaminski is the notorious leader of the group. Larry has been involved in such extra- curricular activities as the holding of David Weatherford's Elvis posters for ransom, star throwing in Agri, and various other acts which have kept the administration and faculty on the ball. Mr. McConnaughhay often consults the SUPER SEVEN when a problem arises. They have, however, aided the school in such things as the spreading of gravel in the parking lot â by a little tire spinning, and by cleaning the sidewalks of snow and throwing it elsewhere. They're really not a bad group. Let's just say that they're a little more mischievious than most and like to make school a bit more exciting than usual.

They began with a Disco Dance with Bill Mack as M.C. The dance was a big source of income for the class. On Nov. 18 the Fall Carnival was held. Each class nominated one boy and one girl for King and Queen. The Juniors raffled off a 35 mm camera. The drawing was held during the Senior boys ballgame on November 3, Homecoming night. The Juniors held two supper's this year- a chicken supper the night of the seniors semi-final, and a spaghetti supper on March 16. âRest Assured,â the junior's first theatrical success was a highlight of the year. No one will ever forget the hauntingâ dramatic scenes between Mr. Morlock and Mr. Lanconi. 16 Lisa Huddleston Vaughn Killebrew DâLynn Huddleston Cindy Jefferson Bill Havens  1 t Mark Humphrey Deborah Hollandsworth Darryl Jackson Billy Jefferson Lynn Hosick Wayne Jenks Terre Lack Jimmy Musgrave Jack Newberry Guy Mitchell Tammy Pangle Janine Petit Alan Phillips Dawn Rounceville Chuck Seftar Vincent Spade Gary Stubenfoll 17 Judy Stewart served as FBLA's District I Secretary.

EDUCATION UTU RE USINESS EADERS MERICA 18 Bruce Sanders was one of 11 students from Flippin who attended the Southern Region Conference in Florida. Each year, the Homecoming decorations are done by the FBLA The backdrop is one of the most important decorations that they make. FBLA has a number of money-making projects. For one of their projects, they sell oranges and grapefruit FBLA initiation is always a fun thing to do. Especially, if you donât do what your officers have assigned you to do. 19 For the first time. FBLA had a Christmas project They dressed as Santa and his elves and visited the Elementary children and their teachers.

Homecoming, wrestling, basketball and algebra tournaments, plus the beauty contest - this all spelled work, but they were willing to do it. They read the famous Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet , made shirts in Home Ec., and studied parlimentary procedure in Agri. The year 1979 kept them all going, and we should be proud to have this energetic group of students in our school. 1 29 Gary Griffin Basketball Coach cl ir to Dr. Doyle Hurst Mathematics Carey Abernathy English Annis Fouts Business Dale Query History Wrestling Geneva Hurst Librarian Jean Oels Susie Rouw Music ⢠English 30 Terry Ott Mathematics Nathan Frolkey Science Mathematics IHHH The 1978-79 high school faculty spent a lot of time with their students - both in the class- room and out of it. Yes. the Flippin teachers worked with us during the day and shared our experiences after school and on weekends. This year life was easier. The new buildings raised everyone's spirits. Mrs. Oels found her- self in a new music room. Mrs. Hickey. Mr. Dew, and Mrs. Burge enjoyed the privacy and expanse of the agri home-ec speech com- plex. Those who taught in the new junior high building were surprised to find out how much nice surroundings have to do with morale. Each faculty member sponsored a class or a specific group. Each worked to man the door or concession stand at the ballgames. Each spent time on duty. Each spent many late nights catching up on homework just like stu- dents. No doubt about it - the people on these two pages worked for the good of their stu- dents throughout the 1978-1979 school year. The members of the Flippin faculty provided us with a rich family atmosphere that made learning a little less painful. 31 Tom Hill Plays Santa For Elementary DREADED DISEASE SWEEPS U.S. Throughout the United States the winter weather kept on hitting hard. Temperatures kept reaching record lows only to be broken the next day. Now, snow, and more snow kept everyone housebound. With the increased confinement, we found a disease sweeping the country. It was a terrible disease that manifested itself in many forms: child beating, parental suicide, increased sales of ropes, leashes, ear plugs, door locks, and materials for soundproofing the master bedroom. It was a disease of winter. It was called Cabin Fever . It struck peace and quiet loving adults harder than anyone else. These victims had several recurring symptoms: 1) Loss of hair due to excessive pulling 2) Lock Jaw from clenching the teeth tightly for long periods of time 3) Ear aches caused by the amplification of sound in a snow bound household 4) Arthritis of the hands due to gripping things hard 5) Weight Loss from lack of appetite after watching 15 hours of childrenâs shows. 6 Indigestion caused by the attempts of the victim to consume their child's favorite lunch: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with pickles, onions, and catsup; potatoe chips with green onion dip and mustard; and oreo cookies with lime sherbet for dessert. The symptoms left the victim weak and defenseless against the onslaught of soap operas, game shows and Captain Kangaroo. Adults were not the only ones to suffer from Cabin Feverâ. Many children were stricken, (they had sore behinds to prove it) JANUARY S M T W T r s 1 y 3 4 X 6 7 x. y w x i3 14 YK K 18 19 20 21 22 23 X 25 M 27 28 x x y. Snow Days When Christmas vacation came all the students rejoiced and settled down for nearly two weeks of turkey and tranquility. We returned to school on January 3 ready to get busy and finish the second semester as quickly as possible. January seemed to end as quickly as it began. We went to school two days the first week; we missed the second week entirely; the third week was a three day week one of the days being a Saturday. The fourth week school was held two days and the last week of the month was completely lost. We went to school eight days during the month of January. The snow got old fast. The Flippin students really got restless. The whole problem was that not only could we not go to school - we could not go anywhere at all. I c Twas the night before Christmas vacation when all through the school, not a creature was stirring, not even Dave Pool. The stocking was hung on Mr. Mooreâs desk with care, in hopes that his starfish soon would be there. Mr. Pyle nestled all snug in his bed, while visions of a constitution test danced in his head. Miss Fouts in her kerchief and Mr. Ott in his cap, had just settled down SEPARATELY for a long winterâs nap. When out on the campus there arose such a clatter. Bonnie sprang from her desk to see what was the matter. To see Mr. Sneed she flew like a flash, ran over Bob Cobb and kicked over the trash. When what to her wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh and the super seven reindeer. With a little old driver, as slow as a log, I knew in a moment it must be Blind Hawg. More rapid than turtles his coursers they came, and he whistled and shouted and called them by name: âNow Hain-i! Now Bar! Now Rattler! and Whitey! On Goliath! On Beagle! On Foot and Looney! To the top of the steps, to the end of the hall! Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!â Up through the lunch line the seven they flew, with a sleigh full of baits and Blind Hawg too. He was dressed all in blue jeans from his head to his foot and his clothes were all tarnished with....... How should I know? And a bundle of baits he had flung on his back and he looked like an Aardvark or an Indonesian Yak. His eyes were like bushes, his nose was all scuzzy. He appeared from a distance to be completely fuzzy. I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself cause he really believed he was Santaâs new elf. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word but made me do all the work. I filled all the stockings and turned like a jerk. Then laying his finger aside of his nose, he suddenly left! Up the chimney he rose! He sprang to his sleigh, to the seven gave a whistle, and away they all flew like the down of a thistle. And I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight, âHappy Christmas Vacation and to all a goodbye!â 33 Fhppin High School supporters proved to be quite enthusiastic about the athletic teams as the sports season opened in the fall of 1978. The loyal basketball fans again returned to cheer the four teams on to victory. The cheerleaders provided the noise and the students provided the energy that the Bobcat basketball teams needed to win those tight games. Of course, homecoming highlighted the fall sports scene and bi-county tournament at Yellville was exciting. The wrestlers moved into the limelight this year with new uniforms and a lot of vim and vigor. The wrestlers made a good showing early in the season at the Fort Smith Tournament and again impressed the student body and the community with their win in Mountain Home. All in all. the fall sports generated the school spirit needed to get us through the first semester. 36 There are certain moments that highlight each school year. These special moments make up the memories that students treasure in years to come. F.B.L.A. initiation was a lot of fun this year. Judy Stewart and Brenda Garkey sampled the goodies while the rest of the members paid strict attention, (photo at left) The president of F.B.L.A., Ken Parnell, put in long hours and a lot of honest effort to make the club's year eventful. Ken was seen in this position (photo at right) several times during his reign. Mike Hainey was just one of the many seniors that took part in the blood donation program, (photo in center) The bloodmobile was in Yellville and the seniors were encouraged to participate in the program. The three photos at the bottom of the page depict other precious moments. .

The mobile unit spent two days beside the new junior high building. Katie Miller, a printmaker from California, traveled with the printmobile giving lectures and demonstrations to the 540 people that toured the unit. The exhibits centered around four kinds of printing, (relief, intaglio, lithograph, and silkscreen) Miss Miller gave a silkscreen demonstration to Mrs. Burge's first and second hour classes and to Mrs. Rouw's senior English classes. Several students actually got to do some silkscreening themselves. The construction on our new cafetorium and junior high building was started at the end of the 1977 school year. The new junior high building has seven classrooms and houses about 245 students this year. The remaining high school The new cafeteria has a large stage area and the seating capacity is 300 which is really twice as many as the old cafeteria would hold. The kitchen has a walk-in cooler and freezer, new stoves, dishwasher, deep fryer, tilt skillet, and steam table and much more working space for the luncheon personnel. The purchase of new cafeteria tables made things much more pleasant. The tables are very easy to set up and take down. The new brick facade surrounds the old community building, home economics department, and agriculture department making them seem to be one large complex. The improvements in the school were made possible by the 10 mill increase passed by the voters of our district on March 8, 1977. This increase brought the total tax millage to 51 mills. The bond issue allowed students are enjoying a little âElbow Room in the old senior high building. the school to borrow $400,000 to pay for the new addition. The school has 20 years to pay off the loan and the interest that accumulates. Between the time that the voters approved the millage increase and the actual bidding of the contract the increased building costs made it impossible to build all that was planned. âAssuming that the school's population grows,â Mr. Sneed said, we hope to be able to continue the planned construction. In the future a new library science classroom laboratory and additional classroom space is planned. The future looks bright for Flippin School. With the reassessment of property taxes in Marion County last year and projected growth, we should be able to add new facilities as needed giving the students and teachers of Flippin School more elbow room . U.S. CONSTITUTION TEST Mr. Pyle's notorious U.S. Constitution test was given on November 14 and 15 to fifty-six American History students. The Test was six pages long and consisted of 130 questions. Twenty one students passed. Once Upon A Time . . . Once upon a time there was a school named Nippilf. This school had the outward appearance of having everything. It had nice new buildings and lots of room. It had good teachers who cared about their students. It had new books and new equipment and just about everything a school could offer. Nippilf was a good place and should been a happy one, but, alas, it was not. In this wonderful school of new things and caring teachers there was one thing missing. It was a very important thing called student involvement. For you see, the students of Nippilf were not satisfied with all the offerings of their school, all the improvements, all the caring. They felt that anywhere must be better than Nippilf. They felt that any place else would be more modern and more fun. One day a new student came to Nippilf. He said, âBoy, what a neat place Nippilf is!â Suddenly all the students realized that their school was as good as the rest. No, this school was better because it belonged to them. It was great. They noticed the activities they had. They noticed all the teachers who cared. They noticed the new buildings with more space. All the students gave a great shout and vowed to support their school. Today Nippilf is one of the best schools around because the students care and take pride in showing enthusiasm for their school. âMoral of the story: Nippilf will always be backward if the students don't care. HANNA-FILM MAKER Mr. Hanna's homeroom, the class of 5B, is going to make a movie called âThe Fettucini That Ate Flippinâ. This will be the first effort for director producer Hanna. The fettucini is a giant Italian pasta that terrorizes the students of Flippin School. Parents become outraged and they set out to kill the fettucini. The movie is a horror comedy flick. The 32nd annual Voice of Democracy Broadcast Script- writing contest was held at The Flippin V.F.W. on November 16. Eight students entered the contest and spoke on the theme Why I Care About Americaâ. Chris Grozis won, Karen Briggs came in second, and Steve Moore placed third. Cathy Arnold won the Bull Shoals V.F.W. contest. Chris Grozis won the district competition and went on to capture third place in the state contest. 49 Jfaetfnon Hemlines have dropped. Slacks are tapered. The designers are reaching back to the feminine sophisti cation of the fourties and fifties. In the fall fashion line up the dress lengths were propor- tioned to emphasize the legs. They made the legs look much slim- mer and longer. The most popular lenth last fall was mid-calf. Al- though there were other lengths, this one slimmed and lengthened the legs more than the others. The fabrics were all super rich. They ranged from a soft and silky, like quianas, satins, and other polyester blends to an elegant wool. The masculine look was back; straight leg slacks with pleated fronts, topped off with loose fitting shirts, silk backed vests, and fitted blazers with ties. The suits were made in many fabrics such as tweed, and wool blends and even denim. The annie hall look was really strong fashion force this year. It emphasized the look of the fourties. It gave a female an air of strength to her appearance. The annie hall look emphasized tweeds. The skirts were straight, the blazers fitted, and to top the whole attire off, a small brimmed hat looked chic. The slacks were made with very straight legs. They tapered from the top and got rather tight at the cuff. This look was all the rage in jeans to dress slacks. The look of shoes changed too. The heels were much higher and slimmer. Spike heels were a must with the longer dress lengths. Boots were a big asset to anyone who was fashion wise. They complimented a large variety of clothing. 50 Fashions around Flippin High School are a mixture of all different types, prices, and color. They really express the student's personalities. If you looked, you would have seen everything from satin pants to blue jeans and everything in between. Whatever the styles, Flippin was ok.

We started only one Senior, Bruce Rorie, who led the team, and Junior Stephan Weatherford, and we started three sophomores: Grady Shipman, Alan Holder, and John Campbell. The boys did a fine job and finished out the season with an 8-18 record. The Sr. teamâs future looks bright with four starters returning and plenty of varsity playing experience. The 1978-79 schedule was a tough one. The Bobcats met up with Harrison and Mt. Home playing fine games and staying with them all the way. The Sr. Bobcats never gave up! The team will continue to be strong in years to come. Steve Moore looks for help as he brings the ball down. ernrn 54 Nita takes a break from cheering. The girls that make up our Sr. Cheerleading squad this year are truly the backbone of our Sr. Teams, with their spirit and enthusiasm, they boost our teams onward. Somehow, along with keeping a high grade average, they attend nearly all of the Sr. games whether it be boys or girls that are playing. Along with all the work they do during the season, they work in the early summer by keeping the softball game concession stand. The money helps to finance their trip to the National Cheerleaders Assn. Camp in Jonesboro at Arkansas State University. A cheerleaders life may look exciting on the outside, but with that goes alot of hard work and devotion and our Sr. Cheerleaders have it all. Top, L to R: Mellissa Weatherford, Jan Campbell.

Karen Sneed looks on. Our Sr. Bobcats started with a young line-up this year. Sophomores Brigitte Volltrauer, Karen Sneed, Lynn French, and Vicki McGuire Joined Seniors Brenda Garkey and Judy Stewart in the starting line-up most of the year. The Bobcats got off to a fine start winning four consecutive games, then most of the season dragged on as the Sr. Bobcats couldn't get any breaks and lost many games within one of two points. But in their last game before District the Girls finally got it all together when they travelled to Harrison to face a bunch of tough Goblins. The Sr. Bobcats won by two points and that turned everything around for them. The girls were seeded fourth in the District Tournament. They won three games, beating two teams who had beaten them earlier in the season, as they took the District Championship and won themselves a trip to State. This is the first time in 25 years that Flippin has had a girls team go to State. The Sr. Bobcats were beaten in their first game as they played a fine Maynard team. We accomplished a lot this year, as we reached our goal, (going to State), and the future looks bright for the Bobcats as we have four starters returning. 57 (TORCH Of Dime 978 -79 As symbolized in the March of Dimes emblem, all efforts toward the cure of birth defects are an uphill climb. We at Flippin have come a long way this year in our climb through the efforts of many hardworking members and the leadership of individuals truly dedicated to our cause. We have come this far because we know that group involvement is the key work to success. Active participation is the mainstay in our FBLA organizationâs progress toward our goals. This has been a good year for us at Flippin. We have benefited not only by our monetary gains, but also through knowledge we have accrued about March of Dimes and birth defects. We feel that active participation, more than any pamphlet or film, has given us an understanding of how great our task is. This realization will serve as our greatest achievement when we use it in our later lives. The March of Dimes Committee is one of the most prestigious and important committees in our school. This committee has initiated, planned, and executed programs to support, raise momey for, and educate all the students of our school about the March of Dimes. With the dynamic enthusiasm the members of the Flippin FBLA Chapter have always shown, they have made their mark and will continue to rank in the forefront of the Arkansas March of Dimes. Weâre people helping people, and thatâs what March of Dimes is all about. March Of Dimes Week March 19-23 The March of Dimes Week is one of great excitement and activity at Flippin. The March of Dimes committee prepares for weeks in advance to present a week-long extravaganza of educational events. Monday sees the dawn of our week-long activities. An assembly concerning March of Dimes was held in the cafetorium. John Gorecki, a member of the Board of Directors for the March of Dimes was our speaker. The film, 200 Years from Now , was presented. Tuesday was Lick Birth Defects Day . This year, students bought a total of 1529 suckers with a net profit of $160.50. Wednesday was the day of the Beautiful Bodies . This year each class had a male representative from grades 7-12. The participants tried to produce votes at 1$ each from the high school students. This year raising $392.95. Thursday we showed films in the library for Film Dayâ. Students paid .25 t admission, and we raised $25. We feel that through them, we can give the viewers a deeper understanding of what March of Dimes is all about. ! Friday was the climax of our week as the Zany Olympics were presented. Semi-finals of Arm Wrestling between Darrell Willett, Senior, and Mr. Ott, Faculty 58 Friday was the culmination of many weeks of preparation as the Zany Olympics were presented. This occasion allows for a little friendly student-faculty competition in some of the wildest events ever dreamed of. Points and certificates were awarded for first, second, and third places. The following is a list of the events and their winners: Tug of War: Faculty, Freshmen, Seventh. Three Legged Race: Freshmen, Seventh, Faculty. Cracker Whistle: Freshmen, Seventh, Juniors. Blindfold Obstacle Course: Freshmen, Seventh, Juniors. Balloon Stomp: Juniors, Seventh Freshmen. Boxing Glove Basketball: Faculty, Juniors, Freshmen. Trampoline Bull's Eye: Seniors, Eighth, Freshmen. Arm Wrestling: Faculty, Freshmen, Seniors. Tricycle Race: Seventh, Juniors, Eighth. Pie Eating Contest: Freshmen, Sophomores, Seventh. The team with the most points at the end of the Olympics was awarded the prestigious âSweepstakes Awardâ. The 1978- 79 winner of that award was the ninth grade. The winner of the Body Beautifulâ Contest, Mike Hainey, was presented an award. Totals for the evening of the Zany Olympics amounted to $454.95, added to the totals for the rest of the week, we had a net monetary gain of $1,201.40 for the March of Dimes, which we concluded to be a great Success! participating, despite the fact 'i that we are one of the smallest schools in our 4- county area. The Buffalo River Chapter's 4-county walk-a-thon includes Baxter, Boone, Newton, and Marion counties. Approximately 413 students met for the 1979 walk, 82 of them being from Flippin. â Thirty-one percent of our FBLA chapter was there and we pledged to raise $1909.00 Flippin works hard to support the walks by serving P on various committees for its organization. This past year we worked on the advertising and refreshments committees, and our FBLA president Ken Parnell, served as co-chairman of the walk-a- thon. Walk-A-Thon In the years since we first began supporting March of Dimes through walk-a-thons, Flippin has been a leader in fund-raising. In the past two walks we have raised more money than any other school 59 immm m tut? m mm The officers of FFA are: President, Troy Tranter; Vice-President, David Sneed; Advisor, Shane Sanders; Secretary, David Weatherford; Treasurer, Lance Sundin; Sentinal, Bruce Rorie; Reporter, Stephan Weatherford. 60 The Seniors of '79 made up a big part of chapter.

It was like starting out with a new team, because none of these boys had had much experience on the court. With the guidance of Coach Rouw and a lot of determination, they came out of the season with a 12 win-12 loss record and a second place trophy in the District Tournament. These boys showed much determination, spirit and dedication throughout the season. Many of the away games proved to be quite memorable, some of the trips during the cold weather were made without heat on the bus; several times they had bus breakdowns; but somehow, they always seemed to pull through. This has been a year for everyone to remember. GJII10EG Karen Frenz, Lisa Hall, Kathleen Wood, Sandy Hosick before a ball game. Karen Frenz helps decorate for the Homecoming parade.

These girls began the year with a good showing at cheerleading school at the ASU campus in Jonesboro. The week at camp was time well-spent as the girls learned much and applied it advantageously when they returned home. All during basketball season, the girls did a really fantastic job of providing much appreciated support for the girlsâ and boys' teams this year. And they always did it willingly, even when they found themselves cheering three to five evenings a week due to the bad weather cancella- tions. These girls consistently radiated a great deal of pride in their school and themselves. Cheerleading is fun, but one thing spectators often don't realize is that it is hard work as well, somehow, this group of cheerleaders put in their time and still managed to excel in other areas. Among the ranks, one will see outstanding scholastic achievers, outstanding speakers, and all- around good citizens. We at the Flippin school are proud of these girls and the great effort they ex- panded this year to be really sen- sational cheerleading squad. 73 Kathleen Wood, one of our Junior Bobcats, attempts a pass across the center court line. During the basketball season of 1978-1979 the Junior Girls did make an impression. Even though they didn't win District, they came out on top with a 12 win, 7 loss record. This year, they had only one returning starter, Kim Wilkins. What they lacked the most was experience. The girls that make up the Junior Bobcats are all hard working and devoted. These girls spend many long hours in the gym working on new moves and better shooting skills, they also spend many hours after school practicing. The man who guides the Junior Girls into a team is the girls coach, Coach Gary Griffin. For this being the first year at Flippin for Coach Griffin, he's done an outstanding job. The Junior Girls Team caries out the belief of all Bobcats, Bobcats donât stop at being good, they strive for the top!â STANDING: L to R: coach Olen Rouw, Sandy Hosick, Katisha Treat, Amy Kucala, Kim Wilkins, Betty Dahn, Kris Rounceville, Kathleen Wood, Judy Hendrix, Coach Gary Griffin.

F T.A. is an organization which allows students who are interested in teaching to gain experience and find out for sure if this is the profession they seek. To gain this experience, the students are allowed to help an elementary teacher with his her class. Depending on the teacher, the student may help with an art class or even help teach the children music. 77 Mrs. Geneva Hurst, the sponsor of the Library Club here at Flippin, was the person to organ- ize the other schools in our area to form the District XII Twin Lakes Student Librarian Association.

At the meeting dur- ing the spring, Terre Lack ran for this of- fice but was defeated by Anita Coxsey, from Al- pena. However, Lisa Barnes was elected Historian and Tresa Hall won the office of Reporter. 78 In the picture to your left, Yolonda Jett was caught by surprise so you might be able to un- derstand the upset look on her face. General- ly, Student Librarians are friendly and helpful, but occasionally, you will see one in a bad mood. The duties of a librarian are no harder than the duties of any other organization, but each person who is involved with the library can feel proud. L I B R A R Y Each year the Library Club goes on a hayride and cookout. The cook- out for this school year was held on September 19th. Everyone who went enjoyed them- selves, and a few went home feeling as though they had learned something after being taken on a SNIPE hunt. Instead of going to the state con- vention in Little Rock, the club de- cided to go to Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri, the trip was tak- en on May May 12th. This was the first time the Flippin Library Club hasn't gone to the State Convention. c L U Karen Sneed and Lisa Barnes having fun at the cookout.

The cafetorium has all new cooking facilities such as new stoves, freezers, a dishwasher, walk-in cooler, deep fryer, tilt skillet, and steam table. The serving area has a large window with the steam table set up behind it which keeps the food hot during serving. Located to the left of the serving area is a window for returning dirty plates and silverware. There is a water fountain for the students who donât want milk. The school purchased several new tables which are a big advantage because they are easier to set up and take down. There are new restrooms in the lobby of the cafetorium. The stage, which is included in the cafeteria, is a definite improvement over the old one. Mrs. Burks and Mrs. Hudson prepare for lunch in the new kitchen.

The new junior high building has 7 classrooms and this year housed about 245 students. A new brick facade surrounds the community building, the home- economics department and the agriculture department making them seem to be one large complex. These improvements were made possible by the 10 mil increase passed by the voters of Flippin on March 8, 1977. This increase brought the total tax millage for Flippin School to 51 mils. in the future a library, science classroom-laboratory, and additional classroom space is planned. So the future looks bright for Flippin School.

They worked hard and had a lot of determination. The season of 1978-79 was not the best for the Bobcats. Due to bad weather, they had to cancel over half of their scheduled games. Only two of the players were seniors, so most of the lineup will be back next year. Bobcats are hard working and devoted athletes, and we hope to be better next year and all the years in the future. 87 Doug Fuller manning first base while one of the Viola players slide.

Everyone was exhausted after the day of excitement at the District track meet. 88 The Bobcat Track Team of 1978-1979 surprised a lot of people this year. This is only the second year for track at Flippin High but we did an impressive job. The Junior Girls took first in District, just as they did last year. Our Senior Girls pulled in a close second while many of them qualified for State in both field events and running events. Neither of our boys teams placed as a whole in District but they worked just as hard as the girls in preparing. Very few people realize the talent we have at Flippin out on our track field. With what we have to work with, we do a very impressive job. We have numerous trophies collected in the past two years to prove it. The people who run track are a very unique breed, they're a combination of drive, determination and a lot of stamina. Our track team this year did a great job and weâre proud.

Coach Dale Query didnât even realize what he had. At the beginning of the season Coach Query said, âThis being our first full year of wrestling, we are going to encounter some problems simple because of inexperience. By the end of the year, after weâve been to a few tournaments, I think weâll do a respectable job. We have good hardworking boys who have a desire to win. I think after we get some experience, thatâs just what weâll do! That's just what they did all right, but it wasn't just a respectable job . The Bobcat Wrestlers took some 32 awards during the years competition. For the State Wrestling Tournament, 14 boys went and brought back 7 first, 3 seconds, and 1 third place medal, for a total of 11 medals from State. That meaning, Flippin has 7 State Champions on the Bobcat Team. The Bobcat Wrestlers are hard 1 working and devoted.

Our sixth grade teams did real well this year as far as both the boys and the girls go. Our girls competed in six tournaments this year and found themselves bringing home a first place trophy from every tournament. We are very proud of these young girls who worked very hard to have a fine season. Next year they will be a part of our fine Jr. High team. The sixth grade cheerleaders were behind our Pee Wees all the way as they worked very hard to have a fine squad. The Pee Wee ball players were glad to have this support behind them no matter where they went. These cheerleaders did a very good job. Things went real well for our sixth grade boys too. They participated in six tournaments also. Our boys were proud to bring home two first place trophies and three second place trophies as they competed against some real tough teams. We are very proud of the sixth grade boys and girls for a job well done. Cayla Cooley watches a ball game. Lisa Weatherford trys one from the charity stripe.

At one specific party they were treated with five different kinds of cupcakes, ten different kinds of cookies, and assorted suckers and candies. The second grade also had fun in P. E. class. The enjoyed jogging a few laps, playing freeze tag, and kickball. They seemed to feel that the worst time of their entire year was having to stay inside for recess, without much to do. Like most high school students, the second graders favorite movie stars were Elvis and Farrah Fawcett. Their favorite musicial group was Kiss. And, their favorite art project was making a Christmas Mosaic for their Dads and Moms. Carrie Ingram Dennis Johnson Eric Johnson Penny Johnson Jeanette Jones 2 flD 106 Mrs. Muehlerâs second grade has had an active year studying the countries around the world. They had special speakers with many things to see and touch. The second graders have stretched their imaginations by writing stories and trying some poetry. In science and health they learned how their bodies move and what food does for you. Math, reading, and language moved fast in second grade. The second graders feel that the most exciting time of all was learning how to write cursive. With cursive they felt that they were beginning to enter the grown-up world. 2 n d Malonda Keyte Arnold Knox Bruce Lawhead Leon McFarlin Penny McNutt V Trade Moore Curtis Mowry Jeffery Perdue Lori Prow Patrick Query Chris Renfroe Keela Riggs Timmy Seawright Jeri Seay Tracy Stanphill Chris Williams Linda Williams Amanda Wolf Tami Woodcock Lara Woods 107 Henry Kimberly John orubUiUtcr Christina Norman Tony Dahn Dahn Lori Burt LeAnn Davis Emerson Faulkner FIRST GRADE Beverly Greg Griffin Deborah Ricky Lance Chris Kathleen Dana Kim Matthew Michael Jefferson Tina Jones Delmar Keith Kirkendall Lusk Kathy Shelby David Martin McFarlin McNair 108 Stevens Leslie Treat Swan Kim Williams Terwilleger Kim Unger The first graders have found the past year to be a very new and exciting experience for them. Their days are mostly filled with learning arithmetic, language, reading and spelling. They have also been very busy working on many different art projects. They enjoyed painting, coloring, and doing some weaving. But, as a first grader, recess is always something to look forward to. A time to enjoy a chocolate milk break and to exert all of that stored-up energy. Both first grades have enjoyed many parties this past year. Almost every week, if it wasnât Christmas or Halloween, someone was having a birthday party. These were times when everyone enjoyed cakes, cookies, and games. 109 Katresa Davenport Amy Derby Andy Due Nikki Eggert Kim Griffin Jason Hall Dea Jefferson Shonda Jefferson Renee Johnston Wanda Jones Vivian Jerry Killebrew Kohlman no Christie Osborn Kerri Phillips Michael Polich Marilyn Reach Khristy Rouw Meghan Sanders Jerry Treat Missy Villines Frieda Vinyard Krystal Williams Misty Zucco in Jeffery Kirkendall Not pictured: Robyn Arnold Jeannie Chenevey Samuel Combs In 1965, one of the first Headstart programs in the state of Arkansas began in Flippin School. Today we can see the result of thirteen years of hard work and dedication in the students who were part of Headstart. A government funded program, Headstart deals with the development of fine and gross motor reflexes. Rather than scholastic learning, the children have learning â'experiences . The classroom is divided into nine units to help in their learning. They are: housekeeping or dramatics, wood working, art, music, nature study, cooking, cars, trucks, blocks and manipulative. The learning concepts in each unit focus on color, size, shape, and space. The children learn to get along better together and the volunteer parents learn to better deal with their own children as they help with the students. Ardna Short and Mary Humphrey, teachers of the twenty active children, are two of the permanent staff members. With the assistance of parents, student volunteers, and F.T.A. members, they are able to treat each child as an individual and help him her accordingly. The Headstart program is limited to twenty students, with handicapped children having priority. When the program first began, it was hard to get enough students to fill the government requirements, but today there is a waiting list to get in. Mrs. Earlene Treat, the social services co-ordinator, has quite a job trying to handle the ever increasing number of applications into the program. Because the students are at school for a full day, they are given a morning snack of juice and toast provided by the Headstart cook, Mrs. Jerri Tate. In the afternoon, the children take long naps and awaken to another snack. These snacks are well balanced and the students enjoy them immensely. One Headstarter, Lyndon Kenneth Marberry, when asked how he liked the food, summed up the opinions of the others - super goodâ.

It is funded nationally by the Office of Economic Opportunity, but funds are administered through the United States Office of Education. Other Follow Through centers in Arkansas have featured classroom learning centers and community participation. At Flippin the emphasis is on academic development though innovative teaching methods. Studies have indicated that the progress made by children upon completion of Head Start and similar pre-school programs frequently disappears when the children enter regular classes in primary grades. Follow Through is a project designed to continue and expand in the primary grades the individualized approach to instruction used in Head Start programs. Children are provided with the opportunity to experience throughout their early school years the success they realized in specialized pre-school programs. The Flippin competitive speech team for 1978-79 was made up of members of the senior high basic speech class and the senior high advanced speech class; however, five eighth grade speech students were on the team. The competitive speech team participated in two speech tournaments this past school year - The Razorback Tournament in Fayetteville and the State Speech Festival in Little Rock. The Razorback Tournament proved to be successful for the Flippin team. Thirteen students made it to the finals and Angela Patterson won the second place trophy in Junior High Original Oratory. At the State Speech Festival in Little Rock, thirteen awards were given to Flippin - 3 superior ratings and 10 excellent ratings. Tom Hill ranked superior in radio speaking and the teams of Karen Frenz and Veronica Stumbc and Tom Hill and Pam Pangle ranked superior in television speaking. Sydney Hopcroft (Tom Hill) and Eva Jackson (Becky Richter) discuss the insanity of the human race in the speech class production of Absurd Person Singularâ. Marion (Cathy Arnold) and Ronald Brewster-Wright (Ken Parnell) discuss the light and airy smell of fly spray in in the first act of Absurd Person Singularâ. Congratulations were in order when Chris Grozis won first place in the district and third place in the state V.F.W. Voice of Democracy Broadcast Speech Contest. TI6 All in all, it was a great year for competitive speech. The Flippin team shows promise for the 1979-80 tournament season. With several ninth graders on the team next year who already have experience, the outlook is bright. The speech team worked hard on classroom activities and community activities as well. The first hour speech class presented Alan Ayckbourn's comedy Absurd Person Singular in late February to raise money to go to the State Festival. The speech classes had a fashion show early in the year to raise money. The fashion show is going to be an annual event. The team was asked to speak at several community functions during the year. They spoke to the Bull Shoals Lakeview Rotary Club. The Marion County Retired Teachers Association, and they did the program for the annual F.H.A. Mother daughter ⢠son banquet in the spring.

MUSIC PROGRAM Mrs. Oelsâ kindergarten through third grade music classes presented a Christmas musical program on December 7th at 7:30 p.m. in the cafetorium. The program was an operetta entitled Santa and the Space Men. The sixth grade music classes did the dialogue. On December 14, the junior and senior high choirs presented âChristmas Cards For You. The production began at 7:00 p.m. in the new cafetorium. FLIPPIN MUSIC CLASS SETS NEW PRODUCTION âYou're a Good Man Charlie Brown was presented by the senior high choir on March 8th and 9th at 7:00 p.m. The play is based on Charles Schluz's âPeanutsâ characters. It is a slice of life musical. The musical day is made up of moments picked from all the best days for Charlie Brown, from Valentine's Day to baseball season, from wild optimism to utter despair, all mixed together. None of the cast were actually six years old, but that didnât make much difference when you saw the play. The lines were filled with the openness of early childhood. It was a delight for youngsters and adults as well. The detectives search the stage for clues to the missing Santa. 119 UfKtLECflU T a I e t ii s c S 0 n g s D r a m The Talent Show was sponsored this year by the Music Department. The participants this year weren't all from the Flippin area. Mrs. Oels had some people from other areas to come and show the people of Flippin some real talent. Gymnastics was a most unusual talent to see in the town of Flippin. To the left is a photo of this unusual talent in action. 120 BBflCDW BBlUUGeU Pictured to your left is JoAnn Hicks who was entered and won the honor of being the queen of the first division of the 1979 Beauty Contest. The Beauty Contest is sponsored each year by the Future Homemakers of America for the purpose of raising the money that is needed to pay for the expenses of the Mother-Daughter- Son Banquet that is held each year. The contest for the '79 year was organized exceptionally well by the F.H.A. president Karen Sneed and all of the other members of this particular organization who had a 'helping hand' in this special event. This was truly a special event for each of the contestants looked divine, making it extra hard for the judges to choose a queen and her two runner- ups.

Robbie Moore is on the floor. 130 Yearbook Staff - A Big Difference The 1979 Bobcat staff was truly experimental. For years and years at Flippin High the annual was a senior class project. The entire staff was made of newcomers to yearbook journalism each year. It was an outdated method of putting together a yearbook. This year the seniors got a bit angry at not having the project but the 1979 staff got a lot of experience that will carry over to future books. The 1979 staff had to submit letters of application to a faculty committee. The applicants were screened based on their writing ability and application letters. The 1979 staff was comprised of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Even though it is hard to work with people from such different age groups, the staff managed quite well. Another difference this year is the fall delivery date. For years the students of Flippin have received their yearbooks near the end of the school year. It was a nice tradition; but, when the 1979 staff found out that we were one of the few schools still adhering to tradition we began to wonder why. We found out that there were several events that were never included in Flippin yearbooks. The prom, the athletic banquet, the plays, baseball, track, Elementa ry field day .... were all left out. The reason was that the entire yearbook had to be done by January for the students to receive their books before the end of the school year. So, after much debate and deliberation, we took our proposal to Mr. Sneed to hear what he had to say and to our surprise, he understood how we felt. He said we could give it a try. So our book may look a little different. It may read a bit funny in parts. It may make you angry. But, if our book can bring back just one pleasant memory of the 1978-79 school year at Flippin High, we have done what we set out to do. Sandie Burge, yearbook advisor, led this group of students. Mrs. Burge said that she really enjoyed working with the staff this year. She said, The space in the community building made the job so much easier than in years past. Students had a place for everything. Even though I ranted and raved a bit, I still had as much fun as the kids did Karen Brigss - Asst. Sports Editor Steve Moore - Asst. Editor. The 1978-79 Bobcat staff won the general excellence award at the 3rd Annual Yearbook Workshop sponsored by North Arkansas Community College. The workshop was held on Sept. 8 9 on the NACC campus. The Staff was awarded an engraved plaque. The Flippin Staff also took first place in reporting and second place in layout design. Eight area schools participated in the workshop. 131 (Back Row) Cathy Arnold, Bruce Sanders, Nita Wynn, Galen Cox, Wade Fox, Cheryl Wood, and Chris Fox.

(At Left) Mrs. Burge, Ken Parnell, and Nita Wynn are busy on the next issue of The Newspaper Cathy Arnold was unanimously elected editor. She was aided by nine other members of the senior class. The seniors who worked on the beginnings of âThe Newspaper got in on the ground floor of something new and important. Tom Hill and Ken Parnell represented the staff at a press conference for high school journalists in Little Rock this past fall and interviewed Governor Bill Clinton. 132 Šhejfauifipaim â -ÂŤ'fâ 'Co C V ' It '' S ,.â 6 âThe Newspaper had a rather odd beginning. It was a dream come true. Flippin had been without a school paper for several years and each year the notion of having one was mentioned and then quickly forgotten. r This year, Mrs. Burge followed the idea through.

With the help of Mr. Irv Johnson and Enterprise Printing in Bull Shoals, the school newspaper was born. The Newspaperâ staff learned a lot about layout and design and printing in general. Mr. Johnson allowed the staff members to come to Enterprise and actually do the -jvork themselves. Many memorable nights were spent orking at the printing shop. tT 'u° .

The juniors had rescheduled the play several times due to snow and other conflicts. When the play finally was presented, everyone was really ready to see it. The play dealt with the perils of two families, the Morlocks and the Lanconis. Mr. Morlock (Chris Grozis) was an old goat who didnât like anything but money. He wouldnât let his daughter Mary (Marie Dunn) marry into a poor family; but. the daughter had other ideas. She was in love with Joe Laconi (Billy Jefferson). The war between the Morlocks and the Lanconis broke out because of a marriage proposal. Joe's father died. (Bill Guadagnini) because of the grief that Mr. Morlock caused him and returned to haunt him. It will be a long time before we forget Rest Assured at Flippin High.

The play is a classic and one of the first serious plays put on by a class at Flippin. The first act outlined by the stage manager (Grady Shipman), and gave the history of the town which was Grovers Corner. New Hampshire. This act also told something of the character of its citizens. The second act concerned the love affair between young George Gibbs and little Emily Webb (Paul Blaylock and Karen Sneed) and culminated with a moving wedding scene. The third act contained the death of Emily and her attempt to go back to the world of the living but she is shown how impossible it is to return.
