1974 GURDONIAN Gurdon High School Gordon, Arkansas Volume XVI spun into the necessary simple, placid tones to create a truly beautiful work A tapestry to feel and see, but impossible to hold. ” I.

We hope that some of our interpretations of great memories coincide with many of yours. Since the events of each year at GHS contribute greatly to our future ideals and successes, the influ- encial times you should remember rest upon our shoulders. As you look into the past, we want you to recall the look on a new student’s face, a hysterical crowd at a ballgame, and some group deep in dis- cussion. Later, if the faces are not familiar the feel- ing should linger on. May you find your favorite memories between the covers of this 1974 GURDONIAN. 9 10 Final Tapestry for Seniors This piece of life finished, the seniors carry onward now to begin yet another exciting design. The going was rough at times and gay at others, but they continued the pattern. Through the leadership of Alan Rettmann, Pam Pruitt, and Sharon Brandon, the most important school year was completed. Experiences like sen- ior portraits, senior salutes, and ACT Tests made the year a truly great one for the Seniors of 1974. Personalities, as well as new ideas of the outside world, were formed through looks at Watergate, the energy crisis, and the resignation of the Vice- President. This goal conquered, they now move to another goal. Senior Class Officers: President, Alan Rett- mann; Vice-President, Pam Pruitt: Secretary- Treasurer, Sharon Brandon.

H. S. Throughout the year they, with leaders like Lisa Horne, Christi Calley, and Shellie Goza, have assumed a role of leadership. Their activities of the year have proved their ability to raise money by magazine, candy, and light bulb sales. Memorable events were the Junior Play, second place in the Homecoming Float Con- test, and the Junior-Senior Banquet. Even now it has become their turn to think of a future without high school. The time has come to seriously consider a design for the future tapestry. Junior Class Officers: President, Lisa Home; Vice-President, Christi Calley; Secretary- Treasurer, Shellie Goza.

Sophomores Sophomores, people like John Bailey, Barbara Ryan, and Lisa Golden are good examples of the species. Already they are veterans at high school life; looking back at the freshmen and remembering times not far away. As a cluster of some of the most exci- table people at GHS, they stood ready to become part of the upper classes and made things happen. The time has come for the weaving of the coming years' newer, more intricate threads.

Not yet upperclassmen and not belonging in the lower classes either. With leaders like Kathryn Grif- fin , Shari McClure, and Bob Nunnally, they did not falter, but plunged ahead. Waiting and working restlessly for the years when they would look at other bewildered freshmen. Their cooperative efforts resulted in winning the Spirit Contest and the best decorated car contest in the Homecoming Parade. Now they rush merrily into the design of their next year of living and learning.

New Horizons in Science and Math In the 1970's, our society is becoming more scientific every day. The computers, the comet Kohoutek, and the metric system are some of the scientific newsmakers this past year. These things make science and math courses increasingly more imponant. Whether learning chemical equations in chemistry, logarithms in algebra II, or weather patterns in physical science, they are relevant in today's world. 41 Communication by CLOCKWISE: The speech class performed selec- tions from Horton Hatches An Egg” for Teacher Appreciation Day . . .

English and Speech Classes A person can have millions of original, exciting ideas inside his head, but if he cannot communi- cate these ideas to other people, they are worth- less. The English and speech department at GHS attempts to enable all students to express them- selves better. Grammar teaches how to put words together to form sentences. Literature reviews other people's expressing of ideas. Another facet of cummunication, writing, is taught by compos- ing themes, papers, and reports. Speech classes teach students to express themselves verbally. This well-rounded department stresses total com- munication. History Dept. Combines Old With the New GHS's History Department offers a variety of courses. World and U.S. history instruct students in past happenings. Structures of our democratic governmental system are studied in civics and government. Sociology explores the human social behavior in our society. This varied department equips students with past and present knowledge. CLOCKWISE: Mr. Victor Rettmann, history . . . Mrs. Calvin Ledbetter, history . . .Mr. Stiffler's class is a solemn group . . .

Later, they explored comtemporary music and composed by using aletoric and twelve-tone methods. Some of these compositions were pres- ented for the public at the Band’s final concert. Art students worked with a variety of things this year. They painted, made papier mache, did sculpturing, and abstract an.

These classes were two and three hours long and were open to students with interests in these vocations. Building trades was an in-depth study of carpentry. Some building trades students obtained jobs because of taking the course. Auto mechanics taught all about the car engine. Auto mechanics students overhauled engines and even worked on their own cars. 50 CLOCKWISE: Construction of utility sheds gave students practical experience . . .

Learning and Earning Through Work-Study The Federal Work-Study Experience Program is designed to help students who are not college- bound bridge the gap between school and work. Students in the program, which is new this year, work in the morning at local businesses and attend classes in the afternoon. One of their learning experiences is the value and uses of the money they earn. CLOCKWISE: Mrs. Glen Penecost, special edu- cation . . .

Some of her duties are: checking with parents of students who are repeatedly absent, helping students get proper medical care when they get sick at school, and keeping study hall. Mrs. Robert McGill is a helping hand to stu- dents. She arranges their class schedule, helps seniors get ready for college, and administers tests. But, most important, she listens to any problem a student may have. 55 Library Science Teaches Usage of Library Library science gives students a better under- standing of the library. Students are taught to file student and book cards and to check out books. They learn to use the Reader's Guide and the card catalog. They assist Mrs. Taylor in taking inven- tory and help students locate books they need. CLOCKWISE THIS PAGE: Gary Plyler checks out a magazine to read in study hall ...

The COE (Cooperative Office Educa- tion) Program enables business students to attend school half a day and work half a day in local bus- iness offices. A new club, FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America), aims to help a person get along in the world now and in the future. FBLA Officers are: Doris Nelson, Max Brown, Darinda Nolan, Cynthia Bryan, Elizabeth Hendricks, and Christi Calley. 59 ACADEMIC AWARD WINNERS Margaret Anderson Tommy Bittle Sharon Brandon Theresa Bray Barry Bryan Steve Cagle Christi Calley Dianne Coston Nancye Cummings Diane Downs Allan Eakin Darlene Ellis Anthony Faherty Donna Franklin David Gibson Donald Gibson Rhonda Green Rogers Harvell Elizabeth Hendricks Mary Henry Lisa Horne Carolyn McClain Julie Minton Doris Nelson Darinda Nolan Bob Nunnally Robin Otwell Rodney Perkins Gary Plyler Pam Pruitt Terry Riley Keith Schoonover Karen Self Margaret Todd Johnny Walker Randy Weems Brenda Jo Wells SPECIAL AWARDS Good Citizen Award Theresa Bray Rainbow Scholarship Donna Franklin Rotary Scholarship Robert McCallum Pep Club Member of Year Christi Calley John Philip Sousa Award Donna Franklin 60 Outstanding Students Honored With Awards The Gordon High School calendar includes 180 days in which stu- dents come to school.

These awards were presented by the teachers on May 16th at GHS’s Second Annual Awards Assembly. Certificates were given for excellent work. Gold and silver charms were given to stu- dents having superior work. In addition to the awards, two scholar- ships from civic organizations and several scholarships from colleges were presented.

Yet, this work does pay off and it is hon- ored. The seniors who kept the highest scholastic average for the four years of high school were designated as the Top Ten.” However, their achievements go beyond the classroom. They were active leaders in band, journalism, cheerleading and pep squads, and the honor societies. These students' con- tributions to GHS will be remembered. TOP TEN 1. Donna Franklin 2.

In producing the GURDONIAN, the staff tries to present highlights of the year, all the people involved in GHS, and the plain everyday occurrences. The staff chose Tapestry” as a theme because they think our school life is like a tapestry. Events, people, and classes are woven into our tapestry. In order to produce a better yearbook, the staff attended two workshops and the Arkansas High School Press Conven- tion.

It is an ending which involves finishing of high school education, leaving school friends, and, for some, leaving home. But, it is also a beginning of a new life. This beginning may include college, work, marriage, or all three. Whatever this new life contains, the graduate is now recognized as an adult. 100 CLOCKWISE: After checking her report card, Cathy White is certain that she will graduate ...

Special Assemblies Add Spice to GHS Because of a grant from the Federal Arts and Humanities Council and the Ross Foundation, two musical groups presented programs at GHS this year. The first of these was the Iowa Brass Quintet, a nationally known group. The second performers were the ’’The New Group,” a quartet specializing in chamber music. Another group, the Henderson Stage Band No. 2, was brought to GHS through the efforts of Miss Wanda Brown.

The gas price, 49 9 10, was a reflection of the fuel shortage . . . Gas, which was previously an abundant resource, some- times just ran out! 106 Energy Crisis Brings Problems and Changes There are limits to how much abuse the planet Earth can take, and man, the abuser, is beginning to get the message. This past year people the world over were shocked when there was a shortage of fuel. As the availability of coal, natural gas, and fuel oil dwindled rapidly, people were forced to economize. Daylight savings time was re-enacted, gasoline prices skyrocketed, and people began bicycling and walking. Man has not stopped his carelessness, but growing awareness is leading to efforts to conserve our natural fuels. Progress, slow but sure, is being made. 107 108 A A MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC.

Yet, this new design will exclude past school life, but weave in new and more exciting threads. Again we must sew with patience and precision, for it shall be our longest and greatest work. We must strive for true, strong threads and dismiss faulty, weak ones. With this knowledge we begin the new pattern, a pattern that will place itself before us to be started and spun to our own satisfaction. This is the end of one tapestry and the beginning of another.
