Text from Pages 1 - 124 of the 1965 volume:

w ’65 I L D c A T Published by the 1965 Yearbook Staff Madill High School Madill, Oklahoma Volume XVII Buildings shown in this picture are the junior high school, high school gym, and unit B. The southeast covner of the high school building was a favorite meeting place for students before school. Familiar Campus The south walk was followed by students going to and from the high school to various classes in other buildings. On a week-day the MHS parking lot was filled with students' and teachers' cars. 2 When snow covered the roads around and leading toMHS it meant an unscheduled holiday for students. Scenes of MHS Superintendent Dry and Principals Hodge and Kunkel inspected the new metal can- opy joining junior high and senior high. 4 Unit B, south of the high school and junior high, pro- vided classrooms for music, industrial arts , and science classes. Bus drivers Dick Rutledge, Fred Shipley, W. W. Bridge- man, T. A. Biggex , Grady Nabors, Cecil Duncan, Herb Hudgens, F. A. Roberts, I. C. Cox, and Otis Evans were important people in and about the MHS campus. 3 '65 Wildcat Honors Retiring Elementary Personnel Retiring Principal Jeff Herndon was a most congenial host to parents that participated in National Education Week Open House. After forty-four years of professional experience, Mr. Jeff Herndon, Madill grade school principal, retired this spring from active work in education. Mr. Herndon's professional life has been both long and creative. What is more important, it has touched the lives of literally thousands of Marshall County citizens during the past four decades. There are few lifetime citizens of this county who have not known and learned from this man. We, his previous stu- dents , wish to extend to him our sincere graditude for his past effort for our benefit. May the future be bright and prosperous in all endeavors, and the years many in num- ber. Mr. Fred Glenn, grade school custodian, and Mr. Herndon checked a MHS storeroom for needed supplies. 4 Spelling skills of fourth graders were explained by Mrs. Lola Long to the visiting parents of one of her students. Mrs. Pauline Herndon was pleased to show her fifth grade students' daily work to in- terested parents. Years of Service Due Recognition As cafeteria business manager, Mrs. Bill Stroud counted the nickels, dimes, and quarters of hun- gry elementary students. Along with Mr. Jeff Herndon, Madill Ele- mentary School principal, five members of the school faculty and staff retired this spring. Faculty members who retired were: Mrs. Hattie Byrd, first grade; Mrs. Pauline Hern- don, fifth grade; and Mrs. Lola Long, fourth grade. Mrs. Bill Stroud, Madill's cafeteria business manager, and Mr. Fred Glenn grade school custodian, also retired at the end of the school year. It will seem strange not to see these fam- iliar faces at the elementary, for their years of service have been many. One hundred and ninety total years of experience is represent- ed as the professional contribution of these six people. A contribution to human dignity, however, is not evaluated by years expended. It is evaluated in the lives of those who were taught. The people who studied under these educators reflect the concepts and tools ac- quired . 5 At the close of the 1963-1964 school year, we were delighted by the good news that, for the first time in its history MHS would begin publishing a yearbook annually. After considering many ideas, the Wildcat Yearbook Staff wrote Mr. Charles Schultz asking permission to use his Peanuts characters for the 1965 yearbook theme. His consent was re- ceived in the latter part of May along with regrets that he could not provide original drawings, but that we could copy any of his published cartoons. Plans were begun for the following year's work, and for- tunately, we discovered the talents of Jim Williams and quickly appointed him Art Editor. The results of this year of work are presented to you, the students of MHS, in the following pages. We hope this book will provide a lasting journal of your activities and work during the year. In order to capture the entire story of Madill High School, we have added a division covering one of the most impor- tant, but often forgotten, phases of our school life—a section containing an outline of the subjects offered at MHS. Our sincerest thanks are extended to Mr. Charles Schultz for his approval of our theme and his selection of the 1965 Wildcat King and Queen; to Jim Williams for the time and effort that provided the excellent reproductions on our division pages; to the members of our staff for their work and support; and to you, the characters in this story of Madill High School. Co-Editors Ann Beard Veda Kay Kerr 6 s� 7 8 Helping Others Behind every successful school system there must be a body of de- termined and dedicated men and women. Upon their shoulders rests the burden of molding the future generation into a responsible nation fit to cope with the situations of a changing world. More times than we realize, these educators have wondered if their ef- forts were in vain. How can 1 make John understand that he will someday be on his own? What is the best ap- proach? Questions such as these and many others go through the minds of these instructors day after day. In spite of the headaches, back- aches and heartaches that are inevit- able when one is dedicated to a worthy purpose, the administration at MHS has shown its commitment to high ideals. The visible signs of progress should be a small clue to the hidden achievements in this—the greatest in- vestment in the future. 9 These Board of Education members served the Madill School System capably and effectively: James Fricke; R. D. Phillips; E. A. Walker, president; Ernest Dry, superintendent; Ro Jane Gilmore, clerk; Ira Dollar; and B. B. Landgraf, vice-president. Not pictured is Doyle White, treasurer. Among one of his many duties, Superintendent Dry supervised the installation of milk machines in MJHS and MHS. A IHS Was Headed by Capable Board Five elected members devoted much time outside their regular jobs to per- form the important tasks of the Madill Board of Education. The interest of these members was appreciated by the community as well as the students. Their only payment for a job well done is our praise. Among one of the most predominate accomplishments of the Board was the approval for construction of the new vocational agriculture building. It is such improvements as this that enables our school system to improve from year to year. Capable leaders are the foundation of any organization whether it be indus- try, small town business , or the school system. Ernest Dry, superintendent of the Madill Public School System, and Don Hodge, MHS principal, are the foundation of our organization. Both of these men have a firm dedication to the task presented. Their experience dic- tates decisions that mold our lives and fortune. Their duties are many and varied, and they meet them as a chal- lenge of purpose worthy of positive consideration. Whether the task is nor- mal administrative procedure or the proud distribution of diplomas, they work with professional dedication. Our future lives will bear evidence to the wisdom they have expended for our benefit. In truth, both men have ren- dered a valuable service to our lives and times. Superi Mrs. Pearl Roundtree and Mrs. Ro Jane Gilmore are known to the students as well as the administration as capable secretaries. ntendent and Principal Indispensable io MHS It was never an uncommon sight to see Superintendent Ernest Dry and Principal Don Hodge discussing important school affairs. it. 11 Mr. Leston Jacks Industrial Arts Mrs. Chloe Sartin General Math; Social Studies Mrs. Joyce Herndon Home Economics; Biology Mrs. Lula Bolin English IV; Speech Mrs. Blanche E.

Although many general topics were of interest to the students, much discus- sion was heard daily in the halls con- cerning classroom procedure. Do you have your geometry for today? Oh, I'll never get my term theme finished! y It is not surprising that such em- phasis was and ever will be put on learning at MHS. For it is in the classrooms that each student may be compared with his fellow classmates on equal terms. As every student reaches to fill his educational capacity, he must come to realize that education is the key to the future. 15 Shakespear Challenged ENGLISH II. Sophomores continued their studies in grammar and outstanding literary works. They were introduced to research themes, Shakes- peare, and general good grammar habits. JOURNALISM. Members of the journalism classes gained valuable experience through actual work. The product of their efforts were the school newspaper and yearbook. They also were made to realize the value of a background in journalism today. John Dowdy and Jim Brock admired student projects made in conjunction with the study of Julius Caeser. ENGLISH IV. English literature, grammar, and spelling comprised one of the most important courses in the high school curriculum. Seniors learned to read literature selections with an in- telligent outlook and to evaluate its significance through self expression. VOCAL MUSIC. With a song on their lips, vo- cal music students contributed their time and talents to various school programs and activities. While learning to entertain with their voices, they acquired an appreciation for fine music. Glen Burns pointed out the birthplace of a well- known Scottish writer to Laura Yeats. Lay-out of class pages kept journalism Virginia Sealy, Jo Ann Ryals and Laura Yeats helped pre student Squeegie Moore busy. pare contest music during the spring choir season. 16 English , IV Classes SPEECH. Speech classes taught aspiring law- yers , public speakers, and those who just like to hear themselves talk, how to present their ideas in an interesting and logical manner. Drama and dramatics were also included in the course. BAND. MHS pointed to its band, conducted by Mr. Joel Johnson, with pride. The marching band kept spirit alive and interest high at football games, and in the spring a program was pre- sented by the concert band. Donnie Welch learned to put a point over to his audience in speech class. ENGLISH 111. Appreciation of American prose and poetry artists was the goal of junior English students. They studied the history of our nation through the development of its literature. Tradi- tional grammar and spelling were also empha- sized . Band members practiced diligently to per- fect contest selections. 17 Students Learned Sandra Petty found that shorthand assignments re- quired many hours of preparation. SHORTHAND. Oh, no a new language to master was the anguished cry of beginning '• shorthand students. By the end of the year, however, they were able to read and transcribe complicated compositions and found shorthand helpful in school work, as well as a good rec- ommendation for a job. BOOKKEEPING. I worked for two hours to balance it, and still it was two cents off! By many such statements bookkeeping students easily proved that balancing accounts was an important but trying part of bookkeeping. They also dis- covered that they must try their hand at record- ing various business transactions. TYPING. Typing students learned a valuable skill when they mastered the typing machine. Correct forms for letters, themes, and legal documents were but a few of the worthwhile les- sons learned during the course. In typing II classes special emphasis was put on speed and accuracy. In bookkeeping, Sharon Cossey and Janis Bennett knew that their practice sets had to be accurate. Gary Riley found that the electric type- writer increased typewriting speed. 18 I Business Courses BUSINESS MATH. MHS students were given an opportunity to enroll in the business math course added to the curriculum for the first time this year. During the school term, pupils learn- ed its value in personal use as well as business use. Many useful topics like banking transactions were studied. CONSUMER ECONOMICS. The purpose of consumer economics was to help students acquire sufficient understanding—a layman's understanding —of those economic principles that affect their opportunities to earn a living and to regulate their personal business affairs. Their goal was to be able to perform personal consumer busi- ness activities efficiently. Mrs. Billye Herndon was glad to show Terry May how to work a business math problem. Roy Edgar and other economics pupils took notes on a new lesson. ECONOMICS. Attention was directed throughout this course to the everyday happenings in pupils' lives which are related to familiar economic and business problems. Pupils learned that many of the problems of the individual, of America, and of the world today are primarily of the economic nature. BUSINESS ENGLISH. This course illustrated the principles of the written word to the student who is preparing for a career not necessarily in business itself but in a life allied to, associated with, or affected by industrial activity. Business procedures that require effective personal ex- pression were especially stressed. Consumer economics students often read and dis- cussed a class assignment. Due to illness, Brenda Reese finished her busi- ness English course at home. 19 Drive rs Trained in Sheb Scott and Kathy Butler learned to execute the low-arm handstand in tumbling classes. Cliff Davis sketched a drawing to be turned in for a grade. PHYSICAL EDUCATION. Physical education, designed to keep students physically fit, trains youth in good sportsmanship and in the rules of the game. This year physical education classes were available to senior high girls as well as senior high boys. In this course, students were given a working knowledge of various sports. MECHANICAL DRAWING. Lettering and mech- anical drawing are necessary for a place in the industrial world. MHS students were given an opportunity to try their hand at drawing floor plans for houses and other buildings. INDUSTRIAL ARTS. With a soft whirr and a slight vibration, a board came off the trimming machine ready to become a part of a tabletop or chair. In industrial arts, boys tried their skill in mastering the art of woodworking. Filling nail holes with plastic wood was one of Bobby Davis' duties on his shop project. Ford Galaxy VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE. A great variety of activities and subject matter was offered to vo- cational agriculture students. The emphasis of the program was often learning by doing. This thinking often took the students far from the classroom. HOME ECONOMICS. Girls found sewing and cooking much easier when they learned to op- erate the electric sewing machines and modern kitchen facilities provided for their use. The home economics department trained MHS students for homemaking chores of the future. DRIVERS1 EDUCATION. In a special training car, students applied practical knowledge learned in the pre-driving part of their course. They learned to execute turns safely, to stop at stop signs and red lights, to move with caution always, and to re- turn to school without accident. Brenda Holt, Martha Duncan, and Judy Yow busied themselves while preparing a low-cost meal. Danny Wilson and Dennis Busby performed many useful jobs through the vocational agriculture pro- gram . Charles Byars inspected the instrument panel be- fore Carl Marris began his turn at the wheel. 21 Practice teacher, Frances Hartin, presented a current event lesson to world history students. New Algebra II Course WORLD HISTORY. Students of world history probed into events, past and present, that make the world go round. Everything from prehistoric cave men to the present day astronauts interest- ed the pupils. AMERICAN HISTORY. In American history, students studied the establishment and develop- ment of their own country, the United States. They were also kept informed of recent happen- ings by means of a weekly current events les- son . American history students like Jerry England constantly took notes during class lectures. Spanish students Shirley Cunningham, Martha Dodd, and Mary Kay Matthews enjoyed the lan- guage laboratory. SPANISH. Spanish students were able to pro- gress from almost entirely conversation their first year to an extensive study of Spanish culture and literature in the second year. Spanish students presented a Christmas assembly as one of their projects. GEOMETRY. Geometry seeks to develop the logic and common sense of the student. Circles, squares, and triangles provided interesting ques- tions to be solved through steps and proof. Geo- metry's primary purpose was to teach people to think. Geometry was made clearer to pupils through dis- cussion of the more complex problems. 22 Offered of MHS ALGEBRA 11. The solving of varied problems using a symbol for the unknown forms the basis for algebra. Equations and formulas served to simplify the difficulty of computing specific types of problems for algebra II students. BIOLOGY. The Euglena, the Ameba, and the Paramecium were common subjects of conversa- tion among interested biology students. Systems of the human body, dissection of various animals, and health are but a few areas of science cov- ered in biology class. Mary Jones showed Clinton Bates how she derived an answer to a problem in algebra II. CHEMISTRY. Chemistry not only taught stu- dents to conduct safe laboratory experiments but to recognize various elements and compounds, to compute atomic and molecular weights, and to know in general the chemical actions of abundant substances. John Bryant and George French heated a crucible while preparing a laboratory experiment. Diana Bond pointed out a specific organ on a model frog for Harold O'Steen to name. 23 Taking Part Clubs at MHS helped to promote leadership, school spirit, and service. By means of the MHS Student Coun- cil , those chosen by their classmates represented their class in the govern- ing of our school, and at the same time served the students by various projects. Only the top 10% of our high school were eligible for membership in the National Honor Society. Pep Club, Glee Club, FFA, FJA, FHA, Thespians and Spanish Club all played a vital part in the life of our school. They promoted spirit, enter- tained the student body, prepared for school banquets, and raised money for club projects and trips. 1 think I am finally eligible for Na- tional Honor Society this year, a hard-working junior whispered ex- citedly . Get that bull rigged—it's time to let him go! ordered an older FFA boy at the annual rodeo. It was these clubs that improved opportunities of enjoyment at MHS. 25 BOTTOM ROW: D. Bumpass, J. Colby, P.

NHS Prompted Study and Self-Improvement Scholarship, citizenship, leadership, service, and character are all qua- lities of a NHS member. Leader- ship of the organization was pro- vided by Mrs. Blanche Jewell and Miss Mildred Holland. National Honor Society members participated in many activities during the year. Hosting open house, decoration of the halls for Christmas, and operation of the concession stand at a Wildcat foot- ball game were a few of the organ- ization's projects. High-lights of the year were the annual NHS state- wide convention in the fall and init- iation of new' members in the spring. One of the duties of the NHS was decorating the school bulletin board. Officers were Donna Bumpass, treasurer; Margaret Woody, his- torian; Paul Adams, president; Paula James, secretary; Judy Colby, vice- president. 26 MHS Student Council members have a part in the government of our school. Their main goal is to serve the students , faculty , and administration for the better- ment of the school. Twirp Week is sponsored an- nually by the Student Council. Their participation in the state- wide convention is anticipated each year. The high-light of the year for the twenty-two member student governing body and their sponsor, Mrs. Lula Bolin, was the District Student Council Convention, which was held for the first time at MHS.

The Drama Club is made up of Thespians , speech students , and anyone who has an interest in dramatic work. The club pre- sented the All School Play which was THE NIGHT CF JAN- UARY SIXTEENTH. Members of the club made up the cast, headed committees of make-up, stage construction , prompting , ticket sales, and program print- ing. In the spring the club pro- duced the group of one act plays which has gained popularity from year to year since its beginning. Encouragement of public speaking and dramatic reading to various organizations of the community has always been an activity of the MHS Dramatic Club. This club has rendered ser- vices to the community while teaching the students to appre- ciate drama. Dromo Club Encouraged Theatrical Study BOTTOM ROW: I. Sparks, P. Spence, S. Allen, J. Pruitt, C.

Spanish Club Selected Queen Spanish-American art was a subject of interest for Spanish Club officers Marilyn Hale, secretary; Wilma Oliver, treasurer; Paula James, vice-president; Sandra Petty, president; and Royce King, reporter. Spanish students had an oppor- tunity to learn about the Spanish language, customs and culture through membership in the Span- ish Club as well as in the class- room. Under the direction of Mrs. Patricia Archer, the club sponsored the annual fiesta, highlight of the year. By pro- ducing the fiesta, students ob- tained a better understanding of habits and tastes of our Spanish- speaking neighbors to the South. Also, in co-operation with the Student Council, the Spanish Club presented the program for the Christmas assembly. Mem- bers performed in a one - act farce before the MHS student body, after which the high-school chorus entertained the audience with traditional Christmas music. FHA Made Annual Trip To Convention FHAers Susie Bean and Diana Smith, with the assistance of Mrs. Joyce Herndon, often referred to a handy pattern book when preparing projects. President LaQuetta Szenasi presented a lec- ture on the practical art of defrosting a refriger- ator to FHA officers Marilyn Hale, historian; Janice Self, vice-presi- dent; Nita Murphy, par- liamentarian; Linda Hud- son , song leader; Patty Spence, treasurer; and Susie Bean, secretary.

The small staff, under the supervision of Mr. Jim Landt and Co- Editors Ann Beard and Veda Kay Kerr, produced a larger yearbook using Mr. Carl Schultz's Peanuts characters as their theme. The staff sponsored the first basketball queen contest as well as the annual king-queen contest. The 1965 yearbooks were distributed in July in order to include commence- ment and other spring ac- tivities . Co-Editors Veda Kay Kerr and Ann Beard were able to carry out the Peanuts theme with the assistance of Art Editor Jim Williams. 1965 WILDCAT staff members (seated) Patty Spence, Jonnie Bates, Veda Kay Kerr, Nancy Wagner, (standing) Ann Beard, Mary Lou Jones, Paul Adams, and Squeegie Moore worked all of the school year to produce a book covering the complete academic year at MHS of 1964-65. 34 Members of OTR staff and WILDCAT staff included: (seated) Donna Osterhaus, Marilyn Hale, Carolyn Page, Marilyn Adamson, Laura Yeats, Mr. Jim Landt; (standing) Lonnie Porter, Phyllis Gray, Jo Lee Cheadle, Jana Hewitt, Gloria Watson, Martha Shilling, Jim Williams, Paula James. Trip to KXII Station Highlighted Year For Newspaper Staffs Gathering the news about important happenings around MHS was the daily job for thirteen members of the two newspaper staffs. In addi- tion to producing the weekly WILDCAT portion of The Madill Record, journalism students also produced a monthly publication called OFF THE RECORD, which kept students and parents alike informed about activities at MHS. The high- light of the year for the staff was a trip to KXII televi- sion station in Sherman, T exas. 35 BOTTOM ROW: S. Lesley, P. Gray, K. Butler, M. Jones, S. Allen; SECOND ROW: K. Scribner, J.

Pep Club Added Spirit To Athletic Events Spirit was found in many forms at MHS this year, and always pre- sent to boost the Wildcats and add spirit was the Pep Club. The Pep Club members spent many hours decorating the halls, making pos- ters, and attending to their biggest project, the homecoming football game. Under the leadership of Mrs. Chloe Sartin, the girls did a fine job of boosting the Wildcats, and their support was present at all athletic events. Booster tags were sold to students prior to football games by Squeegie Moore, president; Jana Hewitt, vice-president; and Susie Bean, secretary-treasurer. 36 Juniors Janis McLaughlin, Saundra French, Pam Williams, and sophomore Bill Burgess was the Donna Osterhaus spent many hours preparing twirling routines for the MHS first sophomore to fill band. the drum major position in the MHS marching band. Bondsmen, Cheerleaders Headed Band, Pep Club Spirit was provided at all MHS athletic events by the Wildcat Pep Club. The club was lead by these five cheerleaders: Sue Allen, sophomore; LaQuetta Szenasi, senior; Mary Lou Jones, junior; Kathy Butler, senior; Sherry Lesley, sophomore. 37 MHS Concert Bond Placed of Davis The MHS band was proud of Bill Burgess, sophomore, and Judy Colby, junior, who were chosen for the All-District Band because of their outstanding musical abilities. At the end of a band practice, these officers were found putting away their instruments. They were: Jimmy Sartin, vice-president; Larry Mc- Daniel, president; John Woody, treasurer; Mar- ilyn Adamson, secretary. First Row: D. King, M. Richardson, P. Williams, C. Loffer, C. Ward, M.

What a sensation to know that you had obtained the confidence and admiration of your friends at MHS! Only upon those who had proven them- selves to be respectable and admir- able young citizens would their class- mates wish to bestow these high honors. Oh, no! It can't be me! exclaim- ed the '65 Annual Queen while the MHS Annual King hung his head shy- ly, yet proudly. Though the feeling may have been shown by joy, embar- rassment, laughter, or tears, it is a feeling that will not soon be forgotten by those who have taken a place among the royalty of MHS. 965 Ijealbook Kinij Cline Johnson CHARLES M.

We sat at football games, our feet numb with cold, while we watched our boys win or lose. Only ten more yards —yea! We sat or stood in the crowded stands of the gym for hours while we screamed for just one more point. Get the freeshot; you can do it! Only those who have participated realize the many hours of practice and aching muscles involved in running the mile relay, jumping hurdles, and in preparing for the newly organized baseball team. On the field, court, track, or dia- mond, the boys experienced teamwork which is perhaps the largest factor in the success of any team. Throughout the school year our athletes did their utmost to make MHS proud of its var- ious sport participants. 49 BOTTOM ROW: Coach Duane Reed, B. McCullough, A. Watson, P. Adams, G. Riley, W.

The Indians later went on to win the Class C State Championship. COALGATE - - Madill scored the first touchdown which gave them the lead over Coalgate until they punched over two fourth-quarter scores to make it 14-16. The Wildcats then stood 1-1 in District 9-B. ANTLERS—Although leading 14-12 at half-time, the Wildcats could not maintain their lead over Antlers. They came back in the second half to make the score 26- 14. This left Madill a 1-2 standing in the conference race. Coach Duane Reed and Asst. Coach Joe Ritchie began the football season long before school started. Pads were issued to the team in August. Wildcats G-R-R-E-A-T! This familiar cry was heard at MHS pep parades and bonfires on each Thursday night prior to the Big Game on Friday. Wildcats to 3-7 Season HUGO — Defense and play-killing penalties brought on by first game jitters turned the Wildcats opener into an 8-6 tug-of-war. Cline Johnson scored the only Wildcat score when he intercepted a pass and raced 42 yards for the touchdown, but the Wildcats were unable to score the go- ahead conversion. IDABEL WASHINGTON — Seeking to gain revenge for the close Hugo opener, the Wildcats took on the Wildcats of ldabel Washington for a 12-6 conference opener. Donnie Welch and Cline Johnson scored the winning touchdowns for Madill. ARDMORE DOUGLAS — The determined Wildcats gathered in another victory when they took on the Dragons from Ardmore Douglas. The Dragons, unable to stop quarterback Wendyl Thomas and fullback Donnie Welch, felt the full impact of the Wildcats' fury by 20-12. Johnny Taylor and Wayne Huffman worked hard on conditioning drills while Coach Reed super- vised. Wildcat players spent many long, hard hours preparing themselves for the season's tough schedule. Coach Reed congratulated these outstanding Wildcat players: Paul Adams, All-Area and All-Conference Guard; Ameiul Crockett, All-Conference Guard; and Donnie Welch, All-Conference Fullback. Paul Adams Guard Co-Captain Danny Maines, Captain Paul Adams and Co- Captain Donnie Welch met officials prior to the Madill-St. Gregory game. Eight Seniors Finished Last Glen Burns End WYNNEWOOD — Unable to stop the powerful Savages of Wynnewood, the Wildcats fell by a margin of 57-0. ST. GREGORY OF SHAWNEE—Madill highlighted the '64 season by their homecoming defeat of St. Gregory of Shawnee. Due to Madill's determination and strong defense, St. Gregory was unable to score the two point conversion on their final touchdown. This left Madill claiming the victory by a narrow margin of 28-26. Ameiul Crockc-tt Noel Crowson Guard Guard 52 Bill McCullough Guard Danny Maines T ackle Season With Wildcats SULPHUR — Surprising many a skeptic mind , the Wild- cats held the Sulphur Bulldogs to a 0-0 half-time score. The Bulldogs scored late in the fourth quarter, but the Wildcats were unable to overcome their lead and fell to their neighboring foe by a margin of 6-0. DURANT — Defensive standouts and hard-nose football kept Madill alive until the last quarter, but unable to stop Durant's ground game, Madill fell 36-6 to their Durant rival. Danny Maines (70) and Paul Adams (31) came in on a play to help Bill Weldon stop a St. Gregory Knight. Madill won the homecoming game 28-26. Mickey Easley Halfback Donnie Welch Fullback 53 Wildcat Cagers Captured District Trophy When the Madill Wildcats seized the district championship and trophy by a 53-50 victory over the Kingston Redskins, no one was more pleased than the MHS cagers and coach. The happy' winners were: (Bottom Row) Tom 3haw, Bill Simpson, Sylvester Hastings, Bobby Davis, Charles Byars; (Top Row) Mike Dollar, Coach Darrell Kunkel, Terry May, Randy Blakely, Cline Johnson, and Harold O'Steen. Randy Blakely, Wildcat captain,was select- ed for the All-Area first team because of his outstanding ability on the court. An unidentified Dickson player was stopped at the free throw line Jby MHS players Terry May, Bill Simpson, and Randy Blakely. Wildcat Cline Johnson and Sulphur players Harris Penner and Kenneth Brown scrambled for a loose ball on Madill's court. Captain Randy Blakely crowned Basket- ball Queen Sharon Adams during the halftime of the Ardmore Douglass game.

Coach Kunkel discussed a change in court strategy with the MHS Wildcats during a time out in the Ardmore Doug- lass game. New Offense Asset to Wildcats Wildcat cagers started practice late in November. Juniors Randy Blakely, Terry May, and Bill Simpson, holdovers from last year, provided the needed muscle for Coach Darrell Kunkel's 1964-1965 squad. Although the team met defeat several times, they defeated Kingston in the Dis- trict tournament and seized the District champion crown. In the regional play-off, however, they were beaten by a rough Colvert team. The Wildcats finished the season with a 9-14 record. Terry May (No. 24) made a successful shot over the out-stretched arms of two anxious Wynnewood players. 56 B Team Gained Valuable Experience Members of the B team squad and their coach were: (first row) Joe Bartlett, Billy Weldon, (second row) Coach Joe Ritchey, Ernie Dry, Mike Pierce, Mack Stafford, (top row) Kenneth Mc- Intire, Johnny Taylor, Ronald Taylor, and Ralph Cox. Ardmore Douglass player Jessie Stal- white was forced to pass the ball when he was boxed in by Billy Weldon and Mike Dollar. 57 Members of the 1965 track team included: (bottom row) Gary Riley, Billy Weldon, Joe Bartlett, Fred Self, Byron Wilhite, Kenneth Mclntire; (top row) Joe Watson, Hibbard Humphrey, Bobby Locke, Terry May, Clinton Bates, Jim Williams, Cline Johnson, Coach Duane Reed. Thinclads Began Season Joe Watson, MHS shot putter, placed third in the regional meet and earned a trip to the state meet. 58 These six sprinters composed tne Wildcats' ‘♦ho cuiu mile relay teams. They were: (bottom row) Bobby Locke, Byron Wilhite, Hibbard Humphrey; (top row) Terry May, Jim Williams, Cline Johnson. At the Southeastern State College Invitational Meet, Jim Williams won first in the 440-yard dash while trying to break a record held at the meet. Mile Relay Team Won State Title MHS was represented in the high hurdles event by juniors Cline Johnson and Terry May. Jim Williams, the only senior track squad member, proudly displayed trophies gathered by the Wildcats during the 1965 track season. MHS Tracksters Placed 4th in State Meef The 1964 defending state track champions came back this year winning the first out- ings of the season, the Little Dixie Relays and the Southeastern State College Track and Field Meet. They also picked up tro- phies for the fastest mile and sprint re- lays at Pauls Valley and Oklahoma State University Qualifying for state titles again this season were Jim Williams (440) , Cline Johnson (880, 220 and low hurdles), and the mile relay team. The Wildcats won mile relay at the state meet and Jim Wil- liams placed third in the 440. MHS will be looking forward to an- other fine season next year with the full track team returning with the exception of Williams. Cline Johnson finished first in the 880-yard run at the Wilbur- ton track meet. MHS thinclads won their second trophy of the season at the South- eastern State College Invitational Meet at Durant. Proud winners were: (front row) Byron Wilhite, Terry May, Bobby Locke, Cline Johnson, Coach Reed; (back row) Hibbard Humphrey, Joe Watson, Jim Williams. 60 Batting practice helped to improve Mike Dollar's batting Senior pitcher Mickey Easley average and Paul Adams' catching techniques. warmed up before a baseball game with the Plainview Indians.

As grade - schoolers, we were guided through programs , parties , pic- nics and plays by thoughtful teachers and mothers. Upon entering junior high, the responsibilities of these ac- tivities began to rest more upon our shoulders, and when we finally reach- ed the promised land, high school, we found that if we didn't do things our- selves they were left undone. Finance - conscious juniors often found themselves questioning hopeless- ly , Where will we ever get enough money to pay for a prom? and proud seniors frequently threatened, I'll never forgive the juniors if we have to have the prom in the cafeteria! After all was completed, however —the prom over, commencement finally reached—and that empty feeling of anti- climax was there, we began to under- stand that it was not the goal in itself that was of importance, but the work- ing together in order to gain that goal. 63 Paul Adams Ann Beard John Bryant Donna Bumpass Glen Burns Marilyn Busby Kathleen Butler and Paul Adams were selected Best All-Around senior boy and girl by their classmates because of their outstanding activities during their three years at MKS.

Can you imag- ine? Oh, Linda! How are you going to fix your hair? Hey, Jack, are you taking Sharon or Donna? All these were typical of the endless prepara- tions for various school activities. Yes, activities make up a large part of life at MHS. While on a picnic or participating in an initiation, you did more than have a good time. You learned something that was perhaps more important than education. You learned how to get along with your classmates; how to live with the world instead of against it. 77 Coffee time in the boiler room with cus- todians Les Sons and Fred Shipley was enjoyed by students and teachers alike. Foil Opened Active Year of MHS Highlight of the football season was the homecoming coronation of Football Queen Kathy Butler by Captain Paul Adams. 78 All-School Play members Jim Matlack , Veda Kay Kerr, Jerry Osterhaus, Lin- da Hudson, and Jerry England practiced in an actual courtroom for THE NIGHT OF JANUARY 16TH. Sharon Adams held the honor of being the first basketball queen at MHS. She received her crown from Captain Randy Blakely. At the Spring Band Concert, Pam Williams was officially crowned queen by band president, Lar- ry McDaniel. Juniors selected to represent Madill at Girls' State and Boys' State were Mark Brown, Mike Dollar, Janis Bennett, and Tom Shaw. Second Semester Brought Familiar Activities Honors Only one second stood between senior Jon Woods and the prize money at the FFA Rodeo. When boys and girls changed roles during Twirp Week, Shirley Cunningham was re- quired to wear work boots and buy refresh- ments for male friends like Jerry Oster- haus. Among one of the Spring Festival plays was BREAD. Three of the cast members were Cynthia Bates, Ameiul Crockett and Jonnie Bates. 79 Administrators and officers held honor positions at the head table during the Junior-Senior Banquet. The theme was Apple Blossom Time and the Allusions provided music for the Junior - Senior Prom at Lake Murray Lodge. Spring Highlights Junior-Senior and Alumni Banquets Alumni Initiation Chairman Bryant Watts had no sympathy for senior initiates Warren Garrison and Laura Yeats. Proud seniors hoisted their class banner despite discomfort of rain and penalties during final Alumni initiation on downtown streets. Alumni President Otis Wilson checked with sen- iors asking if the Alumni Banquet were adequate reward for initiation penalties. 80 Salutatorian Veda Kay Kerr adjusted the mortar board of Paula James, valedictorian , before the Baccalaureate services. Seniors found the Commencement processional to the familiar tune of Pomp and Circumstance long and grave. Baccalaureate, Commencement Climax to Year's Activities. Everything had to be just right before final appearances at graduation exercises for Royce King, Billy Mc- Cullough, Jimmy Gibbs, and Larry McDaniel. At last diplomas were received. After hear- ing her name called by Principal Don Hodge, Jo Lee Cheadle proudly accepted hers from Superintendent Ernest Dry. 81 Growing Up Regardless of how old one may become, who can ever forget the memorable days of junior high school! Days when boys discovered that girls were to date, not to hate; when young ladies swayed in those first high-heels; when it was eventually found that x+y does equal z . It was these days when we used that favorite argument— But Mother, everyone is doing it! Yet behind all the laughter and heartaches, something very important was being developed. It was during these three years that we built a basis for our attitudes concerning ourselves and our environment. Perhaps unaware , we prepared ourselves to meet the problems of adolescence and eventually adulthood. 83 Principal Darrell Kunkel was assisted in his duties by his secretary, Mrs. Donna Bartee. Mrs. Bartee has capably filled her position in junior high for two years. New Principal Headed Custodians, Fred Shipley and Les Sons, were always ready to stop and chat with Mr. Kunkel while on their rounds at junior high. Mrs. Anita Bond Science Miss Martha Carter Social Studies Mr. Bill Flanagan Physical Science; Chemistry Mrs. Dessie Hull English I; Physical Education The faculty of MJHS, under the leader- ship of Principal Darrell Kunkel, added two new members this year. Mrs. Anita Bond taught science at MJHS and Mrs. Dessie Hull assumed the duties of physical education teacher. Mr. Kunkel was new also at MJHS, moving here from Plain- view High School in the fall.

Every day parents hear that age-old question, Dad, how about an advance on my allowance? Most of that money goes directly or indirectly into the hands of our local merchants. They in turn pa- tronize other merchants and business- men, among whom are our parents, thus completing the economic cycle in our community and in America. We would like to take this opportun- ity to thank the Madill merchants who, in their participation of this system, have seen fit to designate of their funds to the financing of our yearbook by the purchase of the following advertisements.
