Old surroundings, new faces marked the beginning of Marshall's school year. A new type of school day awaited Bears, initiated under Oklahoma City's cluster-integration plan. It consisted of time blocks, longer classes - meeting fewer times each week, longer lunch hours and busing to Northeast or Northwest for science and mathematics classes. Computer schedu- ling resulted in some confusion and the invention of a non-existent O corridor, With September ca me many activities. Senior girls gathered for the traditional breakfast on the first day of school. Cross Country and football squads began their seasons, and the first pep assembly drew spirited Bears, providing excitement for the first game with Northeast. It was once again time to study, but warm weather made students linger out of doors hatingto admit that summer was really over. Above Right: Barbara Dinges, Elise Branum and Pam Ac- ton share summer experiences at the 6:45 a.m. senior girls' breakfast on the first day of school.

Purposes of club life were dis- cussed with students in advisory periods. As a result, some clubs were dropped because of lack of in- terest. ln addition a new type of discussion group was added during study hall in which students discussed current topics. An effort was made by Student Council for better organization within the school. Come Together Week began the year, but because of the new sched- uling, student interest was low. For the first time, Student Council sponsored the selling of mums for homecoming. As students became accustomed to the cluster plan, interest picked up. As part of a community involvement plan, the Council sponsored a transportation service to drive voters to the polls on the day of the gubernatorial election. Old-time movie night, Twirp Week and elections highlighted spring activities, . 4.2.8 . .- vi . I V M-1 r . . . is ' .- IA75-1.. '5-5.'!?.213'1w5r 1 16 - Student me
