Madill High School - Wildcat Yearbook (Madill, OK)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1968 volume:

For the cooperation of the students and instructors, for the efforts of Mr. Haekworth, and the consideration of The Madill Record, we are truly grateful. “There were times we thought we wouldn’t, But we finally got it done; It took a lot of effort, But we had a lot of fun.”—Copied —JUDY HACKLER ALBERT LUTTMER JAMES ADAMS TOMMY PARRISH SIGN N CL QodlrtJ- ) yna-;ihfXt ' ; T?

VALKOMMEN TERVETULOA WILLKOMMEN BIENVENIDA The MADILL NATIONAL BANK Mad ill Welcomes Mr. Beare Serving in his first year, Mr. Beare has experienced many busy days as superintendent. With the task of providing the best plant and personnel available comes many problems and opportunities alike. Some goals in transportation and curriculum have been reached, but many lie ahead as a challenge to the future. T. C. BEARE, Superintendent MRS. M. BEARD, Secretary Superintendent's Message . . . I would like to take this opportunity to ex- press my sincere appreciation to the students, faculty and staff for the cooperative spirit which you have shown during my “freshman” year at Madill. We are reminded that upon our youth of today depends the America of tomorrow. Education is the foundation of Democracy. As long as we have youth who will prepare themselves to fill the places of responsibility in our complex and ever- changing society. America will stand. It is good to reminisce, but we must ever look and prepare for the future. We are privileged to live in the greatest coun- try the world has ever known. The average per- son easily lives better than kings of the ancient world. The price for this standard of living has been paid for by the blood of loyal Americans. The future of this great country will depend to a large degree upon the dedication of our young people to assure the continuance of our Demo- cratic form of government. I am sure that should the occasion arise, the students of Madill High School will stand up to be counted. BB t has been a pleastire working with you. —T. C. BEARE. Superintendent SANDEFUR INSURANCE AGENCY, 109 S. 1st St. Board of Education COX DAIRY BAR (Mr. Mrs. Raymond Cox, Ruth Howell, Anthony Lloyd, Lana Stephens, Gary Locke) Serving as School Board members this year are Mr. John Jones, Mr. R. D. Phillips, Mr. Oscar Wil- liams, Mr. James Fricke, chairman, and Mr. Cleo Sandefur. Mrs. Mary Beard serves the board as secretary. Regularly scheduled meetings are held the first Monday night of each month. Linking the community and school closer, the board serves with the Superintendent in provid- ing the best curriculum, personnel and facilities that can be acquired. In this group of men, many walks of life are represented: Mr. Jones is associated with a bank; Mr. Fricke and Mr. Phillips are ranchers; Mr. Williams is a newspaper man; and Mr. Sandefur is a postoffice employee and landowner. Newly elected member, Mr. Wayne Cabaniss, will start his duties as a member of the board in the next school year. Performing the duties of a school board mem- ber, with praises unsung, these men are not often told how they are appreciated—but they are the necessary link needed between community and school.

(Zttwi Witt As we started down the long road of educated progress, little did we know that we were to be- come the great Senior Class of 1968 of Madill High School. On the first day of school, we were greeted by Mrs. Maude Jones McClure and Mrs. Hattie Byrd at Will Rogers and Mrs. Rosemary Lyter at Camrose. We had as classmates at Will Rogers: Charles Rutledge moved from Tulsa, Shirlene Looney Willingham gave up Kingston and joined our happy group, and James Adams came to us from Enid. This was Mrs. Washington’s last year as our teacher at Dunbar, and she sent us her remarkable pupils: Clarence, Clyde, and Otis. Meanwhile, Mrs. Marie Gleason, Mrs. Genice Clark, and Mrs. Irene Herrin were struggling with our reading, spelling, and arithmetic. Doug Tyner Donnie Ayres Merl White Mary Butler Iris Brown David King Cleo Loffer Jennifer Ward Billy Rushing Darryl Hawkins Tommy Parrish Jimmy Cate Ronald Gibson While at Camrose: Charles Edgar Rita Howell Herschel Beard Don Howell Owen Crockett Mary Caryl England Sharon Harris Donnie Hartin Ronnie Hartin Randy Beadles Woody Albright Larry Goff Valli Edgar Carmen Self Jimmy Walton Dan Hawkins Charles Dice James Lone Rita Baker Our report cards showed that we passed to the fourth grade. Linda Mayo from Cortez, Colo.; Charles Fricke, and Nancy Blundell Lawson from Grantham; Kenneth Hale, from Ardmore, and Allen Hale from Lone Wolf helped to add to our confusion this year. Mrs. Lola Long, Mrs. Rena Mae Albright, and Mrs. Jesse Keel had a tough job trying to straighten out our mixed-up minds and prepare us for the fifth grade. As we entered the fifth grade, we learned that this was the last year any students would attend Will Rogers and Camrose. Mickey Pruitt from Calera was our only new classmate. Mrs. Ophelia Clarkson, Mrs. Mary Ann Slack, and Mrs. Pauline Herndon provided the education and we provided the excitement. were enjoying their new-found friends and teachers. Up on the hill, Mrs. Virginia Washing- ton was trying to pound some sense into the heads of: Clarence Hudson Otis Davis Clyde Solomon The second grade found several new additions to our honor roll. From Cumberland came: Kay Newman Wanda Carter Gary Carter Linda Kious joined us from Tulsa, Kenneth Sliger moved here from Tryon, and the Mark Twain School in Albuquerque sent us Melinda Ewing. This year our helpers were Miss Opal Potts, Mrs. Gladys Taylor, Mrs. Hazel Balthrop, and Mrs. Virginia Washington. That year passed quickly, and finally we be- came third graders. Our class increased by three. This was the year the new junior high school was built, and the old one was converted into the Madill Elementary School. We had a difficult time adjusting to the new name, but we were the top dogs, and we were proud of it! Joining our sixth grade class were Kenneth Mclntire from Grantham, and Lynda Sue Duff, from Tisho- mingo. We got our first taste of the rotating schedule under Mrs. Gertrude Stephenson, Mr. Don Hodge, and Mrs. Almeda Reid. Junior high found us in a completely new world. We just couldn’t get used to all the dif- ferent bells, lockers everywhere, new rules, and so many different teachers. Mr. Dyton Matthews was still giving definitions and throwing black- board erasers. To this, we added the genius of Mr. Joe Ritchey’s geography, Mrs. Billye Hern- don’s SMSG math, Mrs. Ruth Harper’s spelling and English, and Mr. Joel “Pep” Johnson’s band and girls’ P.E. classes. We were joined by Stephen Crow from Oakland. Our eighth grade year must not have been very eventful, because at this point our minds go completely blank. Although we did have sev- eral favorite teachers: Miss Martha Carter, Mrs. Agnes Landram, Mrs. Irene Herrin, and Mrs. Judy Joins Rowland. Two new eighth graders we gained were Darlene Scott from Nida and Judy Hackler from Oakland. Those two years passed so quickly that we could hardly believe we were actually Freshmen in high school. Our new classmates included: Linda Carney Terry Hewitt Walter Bruce Bigger Mike Bean Cecil Shelton all transferring from Lebanon. John Perry came to us from Birmingham, Alabama; Albert Luttmer from Valley View, Texas; and Don O’Steen from Russett. This year was highlighted by an undefeated football season. We planned all year for our graduation and then for entering high school with the assistance of Mrs. Billye Herndon, Mr. Dyton Matthews, Miss Martha Carter, Mr. Leston Jacks, and Mrs. Dessie Hull. S-S-S O P H O-O-M ORE! SOPHO- MORE! SOPHOMORE! SOPHOMORE! SOPHOMORE! was our battle cry, and also, we might add, the cry that won us the spirit stick so many times. We had a big choice of subjects this year, but we couldn’t decide whether to en- roll in Spanish I, under Mrs. La Vanda McClure, Speech I, under Mrs. Lula Bolin, Typing I, under Mrs. Blanche Jewell, or Biology, under Mrs. Waurane Hodge. Of course, everyone was priv- iliged to study Julius Caesar under Mrs. Judy Rowland and Mrs. Ruthie Kunkle. Our only ad- dition this year was Majorie Willmond from Los Angeles, California. Our hearts were grieved when John Perry took an “extended vacation” to Birmingham, but were relieved when he rejoined us later in the year. Our junior year we thought was the best so far. Never before have so many people worked so diligently to stage the most fabulous Junior- Senior banquet in the history of our school. The theme was “Three Coins in a Fountain,” at Lake Murray Lodge, and was one that no one will ever forget. This was the year of the Green Mountain Boys, the float burning, egg fights, WILD English classes, and other numerous unmentionables. Our curriculum included: Spanish II, Speech II, Al- gebra II, under Mrs. Billye Herndon, Home Ec- onomics under Mrs. Joyce Herndon, Vocal Music under Mrs. Linda Hutton, American History (or the Art of Notetaking) under Mrs. Chloe Sartin, and Band under a new director, Mr. Tom K. Jamison, who must not have liked us too well because he joined the army in March. Lana Ste- phens from Hobart, and Janet Pickens from Okla- homa City soon became our good friends and helped make our class just a little larger. August 28, 1967, was the beginning of the end for us. It was, and still is, hard for us to rational- ize that we had made it to the title of SENIORS. We counted the days as they passed, and also the memories we would not soon forget. Our football and basketball teams gave us honor with District Championships, and our track teams made the trophy case look better with their trophies. MHS was almost blessed with an olympic-size swimming pool when the band room was flooded over one weekend. Our new official name became the Senior Class Club, and we made big plans for our trip to Galveston in June. Not everyone at MHS shares our sympathy for our class motto—MAKE LOVE NOT WAR—but it is ours. Our class was not complete until the arrival last summer of Eija Bjorkman, our ex- change student from Jacobstad, Finland. Another realization was that our grades must be in tip-top shape for next year at college. Therefore, we wrote elaborate shorthand for Mrs. Jewell; failed the nine-weeks tests under Mrs. Bolin, not to mention the time spent on Macbeth and Animal Farm. We spent many a glorious hour as office workers, and trying to work Mr. Hinds’ physics problems, and Mrs. Herndon’s math problems. Even though our number decreased somewhat over the years, we are still the greatest Senior Class of all times, and we are proud of it. As graduation draws near, we reflect on the many past experiences we have shared and the close friendships we have developed. The road behind us seems long, but the path of life ahead is far greater than we realize now. To all our friends at MHS, the Senior Class of 1968 says farewell, and we hope that the years to come will be as good for you as they have been for us.

Opening their 1967 season with a 13-8 victory over Sulphur, the Wildcats the following week took Idabel Washington 49-6 to win their first dis- trict game. Running into bad luck, they dropped their next two games to Ardmore Douglass and Marietta. Recoiled for the fight, the Wildcats came back, winning their second district game against Coal- gate 24-20. In Madill’s favor, the score with Hugo stood 20-19. Upsetting the Wildcats, 19-6, was Wynnewood, but once again they snapped back to win the 9-B district with a 26-20 victory over Antlers, and a 6-0 victory over Tishomingo. Their game with Durant ended the season. Loaded with 24 seniors, the Wildcat squad journeyed to the first round of the state playoffs, where Eufaula came out on top of a 34-0 decision. Earning all-district titles this year were nine seniors on the starting offensive and defensive teams. Those making the team were J. Adams, G. Carter, A. Hale, K. Hale, C. Hudson, T. Parrish, J. Perry, C. Rutledge and M. White. Ending the season the squad, under the super- vision of Coaches Harry Cheadle and Ben Martin, had a 6-5 record. i- - Looking for a hole, Clarence Hudson drives forward, picking up a first down for the Wildcats. Circling wide on a pass play, Tommy Parrish picks up some much-needed yardage against Eufaula. Scooping up a fumble. Tommy Gibbs dashes across the goal for six points.
