The high school year of 1973 is stages of growth and transition REFLECTED in the GURDONIAN. The direction and form in which an individual grows greatly depends upon his high school participa- tion. Athletic, scholastic, and social activities at Gurdon High is dedicated to developing the indivi- dual. But the annual staff has tried to pause and take a deeper look at a slower pace this time. To REFLECT the gentler moments thrill, heartaches, and sorrows. To see the puzzling campus visitor, to hear the laughter ever-flowing through the opaque classroom wall and feel the bond of close-knit friendship some- thing here for one and all. These memories and many others are REFLECTED between the covers of the 1973 GURDONIAN. V Academics. . . 8 � I ) Tribute To Gurdon Schools are indebted to these men who have been closely associated with the school system for over four decades.

OPPOSITE PAGE, CLOCKWISE: Drum Major Steve Kelly conducts the Alma Mater at a downtown pep rally ... The band provided music for the Burning of the Wolf ... Clarence House finally got Mrs. Slayton to take his picture. Of 1973 The Band plays an important part in football season at GHS. They play for pep rallies, march in parades, and perform at the games. The band plays marches, popular tunes, and old favorites - like The Stripper” - to add spirit to football games. The majorettes, who performed with the band, won seven Arkansas twirling medals and six medals from East Texas State University. After a successful marching season, twirlers abandoned their batons for instruments, and band members forgot their formations to concentrate on more serious music for their concerts and contests. At the Arkansas Solo and Ensemble Contest, the band members won 60 medals. The band was rated good on their concert and excellent on sightreading. The concert band presented two spring concerts in the auditorium. 107 Band Adds To ignore the cold air's bite on their skin; to work all summer long and attend twirling camp; to wear a big smile whether they feel like it or not; to practice for hours in order to be able to manipulate that long piece of metal between their fingers. These are but a few of the major requirements for GHS majorettes. However, our majorettes seem to have all of these under control and march very proudly and efficiently with the Marching Go-Devil Band. Majorettes for the 1972-1973 School Year were; Debra Anderson, Theresa Bray, Captain Donna Franklin, and Sandra Glover. 108 Rhythm To GHS Band Officers for 1972-1973 were: Ricky Penny, President; Debra Anderson, Vice President; Donna Franklin, Secretary-Treasurer; Theresa Bray, Reporter; and Historian, Jack McElhannon. Bandsmen named to All-Region Honor Bands were: Donna Franklin, Theresa Bray, Barry Bryan, Ellen Garner, and Jack McElhannon. Steve Kelly was voted the recipient of the John Phillip Sousa Award.
