I never really thought about all the work involved in putting out a paper or an annual until I joined the staff. After that I began to understand why they didn ' t like people from all corners of the school barging in during fourth and fifth periods. I knew why they were always counting to ten and muttering under their breath, and why deadline was a dirty word. Mr. Larry Giddings, paper staff sponsor, and Mrs. Margaret Miller, annual sponsor, spent many long hours at school helping their staffs after all their colleagues had departed. Work and deadlines finally getting to them, paper staffers prepare to rid one of their fellows of his head. Clockwise they are Beth Hall, Bill Everett, Linda Wilson, Donna Fisher, Debbie Mills, Jeannie Bell, and David Pokluda. Leading the BUFF TALES workers are editors (first column top to bottom) Mark Buckner and Susan Swift and assistant editor Mari Lynn Packer and (second column) assistant editors: James Bird, Kuuy Zepeda. and Janet Smith. 1 1 2 Organizations

Officers top to bottom : Marvin Cox (President), Larry Routh (Vice President), John Creecy (Treasur- er), Judy Kothmann (Secretary), Pam Griffin (Money Chairman) , and Donna Stowe (Reporter). Marvin Cox, as Alworthy, Joey Phelps as Bliffl, his selfish nephew, Ricky Foster as Square, and Lloyd Sizemore as Twackum watch a debate in TOM JONES. Phillip Short as TOM JONES res- cues Jody Kothmann as SOPHIA WESTERN in a scene from Tom Jones, a r omantic comedy set in England, The years of drama had taught us many stage techniques. We can recite them all by heart, use upstage hand, face the audience, stay in character, concentrate, project, and project some more. Each play presented us with a dif- ferent kind of excitement than the last. Like the time Marvin Cox won All Star Cast and Pam Griffin won Honorable Mention. Or the tremendous reaction of the kids to our production of Wizard of Oz. All the sweat and worry was worth it, though, when the applause be- gan after a performance well done. When the year ended and we fin- ished our last show, a sadness came over us. We seemed to thrive on the strain of a performance, and now, too soon to be true, it was all over. Organizations HI

We made a funny crew. A large amount of money was in- volved in putting out the paper, and the BUFFALO TALES staff put out the supreme effort to earn it with a garage sale in August, Santagrams at Christmas, a paper drive, and a Super Issue containing sixteen pages. Adding a bit of humor to the too often not too humorous job of putting out a paper are Shirley Brown, Gary Baggett, Kenneth Dunkelberg, Jack Chapin, Mark Sober, Beverly Caldwell, and Terry Barnett. Grabbing a quiet corner to work in, Galen Wall works on her endless volumes of copy for the yearbook. Busy in the midst of that amazingly organized chaos are annual workers Judy Teague, Vernon Walling (Editor), Larry Worlow, and Mrs. Margaret Miller (Sponsor). Organizations 113
