Wildcat 1974-75 :Jfladili eLticfU School :17ladili, hlal oma Yearbook Makes Memories Last Good times should be made to last. Haste, that noto- •ious enemy of memories, turns awareness into forget- ulness. And momentous experiences are over almost efore they’ve begun. Fun times, unique times become jst times... unless they achieve immortality between he covers of a book. Some say yearbooks can make ime stand still. They can. Follow the leader. Left, Right, Left.

Jimmy Nelson nior YYlotto'. LaVon Qualls Nancy Pickett Nothing is so far removed from us as to be beyond our reach, Or so hidden that we cannot discover it. Mogcns Jorgenson Nancy Page Dava Moore William Wagoner Be tUe Beet ?$ clOA«teuer ou o4re Bobbie Wagoner Sandra Stowers If you can’t be a pine on the top of the hill Be a scrub in the valley-but be The best little scrub by the side of the rill; Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can’t be a bush, be a bit of grass, Some highway happier make. If you can’t be a muskie, then just be a bass But the liveliest bass in the take. We can’t all be captains, we’ve got to be crew, There’s something for all of us here. There’s big work to do, and there's lesser to do And the task we must do is near. If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail, If you can’t be the sun, be a star; It Isn’t by size that you win or you fall— Be the best of whatever you are! Linda Stuckey Twelve years of toil, tears, and great times Deborah Pickens Willis Kevin White Sandra Weldon Frank Wilhite Lloyd Adams So unlucky that he runs into accidents which started out to happen to somebody else. Mike Baskin Away with funeral Music-Set the pipe to the powerful lips—The cup of Life’s for him that Drinks—And not for him that sips. Steve Behrens Far Out. Noel Clement You soon begin to realize that I don’t want to is the world’s greatest reason. Quinn Courtney Coming Together is the beginning—Staying Together is Progress—Working Together is Success. Russell Fail Being put on a pedestal has disadvantages which you’re apt to discover the first time you fail to watch your step. Rod Geter People can tell you to keep your mouth shut but it dosen’t stop you from having your own opinion. Mogens Jorgenson I wasn’t worried, increasingly I find myself most comfortable with conversations I don’t understand. Eddie Kenedy Think of all the misery in the world and be thankful that you are not sharing it. Dan Melton The highest reward for man’s toil is not what he gets for it but what he becomes by it. Jimmy Nelson The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but, the rainbow won’t wait while you do the work. Bink Stafford If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you. Melvin Watson Together we stand divided we fall. Neii Watson How you spend your time is more important than how you spend your money. Money mistakes can be corrected but time is gone forever. Kevin White No great thing was ever done with great effort; it was always done by a great man with little effort. Janet Bailey You can only appreciate the dawn if you have walked in the darkness. Nancy Beard It’s only the giving that makes you what you are. Kelly Cole He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery. Debra Davis It is better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt. Theresa Dinse Learn to love or in the end you could be a loser. When your thinking about the past and the future remember you’re living in the present. Leslie Dudley The real democratic American idea is not that every man shall be on a level with every other, but that every man shall have liberty, without hindrance, to be what God made him. Brenda Eppler The more faithfully you listen to the voice within you the better you will hear what is sounding outside. And only he who listens can speak. Sandra Harris Love is when he’s the eighth wonder of the world. Charline Hastings If the hands of time were hands that I could hold I’d put their hands in mine and would not let them go ... Robbie Irwin 28 You kept silent, that was no crime. But you closed your eyes and ears to the pain and sorrow of the world. Why? Barbara Kenedy Think of all the beauty that’s still in and around you and be happy! Jeana Kusler I shall grow old, but never lose life’s zest, because the road’s last turn will be the best. Come landlord fill a flowing bowl until it does run over. Tonight we will all merry be, tomorrow we’ll get sober. Wanda Locke Vicki Mahaney We are born, we suffer, we love, we die, but the waves continue to beat upon the rocks; the seed time and the harvest come and go, but the earth remains. Dava Moore If time was love and love was time. Your life would end all too Suddenly! Janice Morgan We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done. Nancy Page Friendship needs no words. It is Solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness. Nancy Pickett Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, but the realization of how much you already have. Rebecca Polster Tomorrow is the beginning of a new life. Do what you can today for tomorrow you may not be able. LaVon Qualls Doing an injury puts you below your enemy; revenge in one makes you but even with him. Sherry Reynolds Love isn’t like a reservoir. You’ll never drain it dry. It’s much more like a natural spring. The longer and the farther that it flows, the stronger and the deeper and the cleaner it becomes... Love Live, switch a single letter and they’re the same. Is it an accident, I wonder, that the two words are almost interchangeable? Joanna Sandefur I felt these words best express my true feelings towards life and living. I believe in the sun, even when it is not shining. I believe in love, even when I am alone. I believe in GOD, even when he is silent. Lori Shelton I know not what the future holds for me; I only know I want it to be perfect-But, I know perfection is close to impossible. Nancy Shilling When you have nothing to say, say it. Sandra Stowers Every day is a fresh beginning. Every morn is the world made new. Martha Teeter Thy friendship oft has made my heart to ache: Do be my enemy for friendship’s sake. Bobbie Wagoner If you love something, set it free. If it loves you, it’ll come back. If it doesn’t, you never really had it. Terri Wagoner If a person’s pride is hurt he gets mad; If it’s Love, he asks why. Sandra Weldon Love has many trials but the greatest is Love. Debra Willis Don’t strive to be better than others, strive to be better than yourself. 29 emoned HATttX ttCCttt Tcrcasa Anderson David Arterburn Debbie Batch Steve Bean Vicky Beaver Danny Blakely Terri Brunk Donna Burchett Kathy Christie Vanessa Cobb David Davis Marcia Davis Boyd Evans Dorothy Evans 34 junior Say Pluck th e $ Kathy Hargis Ricky Hawkins Tony Hawkins Mike Higgins Judy Kay Hipp John Howell Karla Huddleston Stephen Keith Ronnie King 35 Rhonda Morgan uniora 1974 Janie Milligan I I Gerald Mobley Debbie Maxwell Kim Melton Lyle Moore E.

There are the memories of complaints, four different band directors (Mr. Jamison, Mr. Noland, Mr. Charles, and Mr. Bennett), all the football seasons, and all the work for district contest and all the hope for victory.

This season had only one blimish (in the regular season) coming through with a ten win two loss season (9-1 for the regular season) coming up from a five win five loss season which in turn came up from a zero win ten loss season. Like I said, we have had humiliating defeat. But yet within two years we have come back to go to state!!! With high spirits of the team and the fine coaching staff, Madill came forward to win District and traveled even further to win Bi-District. Then suddenly the crys of victory were sumitted with the Milwood game. The state playoffs. The crowd was filled with speculation but hope was still in their hearts. The minutes ticked like hours. The second half seemed to be an expectant victory grounds for the wildcats but when the smoke cleared the Wildcats had fell 33 to 14 to the number one ClassA Milwood Falcons. Defeat, heart breaking defeat had pierced the ears and minds of the Wildcats. The long ride home was no to be even longer than ever before with the mistakes that had happened and the fantasies of what could have happened with the score reversed and how they could have gone on to be state champs all running through their minds. But the further down the road they got the reality of defeat slowly seeped in. Now the season has ended and there are nothing more than the crys of victory for next year and the memories of the ones in the past. v4lfij 1 4 'W lS7 v£ 124 I «0 v Coach Gibbs, D. Elwood, T.

M. Ayres, Principal Another school year has passed quickly. Students, faculty and staff have cooperated to make it one of my most enjoyable years with the school. I would like to commend the student body for their wonder- ful school spirit and for the pride they have in their school. We are proud of our athletic groups who have carried the Wildcat banner and those of you have stood by to cheer them on to victory. We are equally proud of those who have worked hard to excell academically. This year’s faculty and staff have been most cooperative with the administration and on behalf of the Board of Education and myself, I want to say ‘thank you’ for your unselfish devotion to education, often without proper monitary gain. This has been a most rewarding year. CLOVOS HULL I want to pay tribute to our Annual Staff and Sponsor for their many efforts in presenting us with a School Annual in which we can be proud. Many hours were spent in making this a reality. To our students and faculty I want to say thanks” for helping to make this the best school year, overall, that I have seen in Madill Junior-Senior High School. This has been a year of accomplishment for us. To our Seniors, I want to wish the very best in the life ahead and hope they will always have fond memories of their years in this school. .yyy cs CHoarcl C777emker Dan Coe, John Knight, Robert Watts, Leroy Davis, John Pierce. 121 Alan Bennett Instrumental Music Lula Bolin English IV and Speech Russell Bradley Driver, Edu., and Asst.
