Now in this third year of a city-wide desegregation plan that changed Anderson's student body from all black to approximately 40M black, 60'Xn white, Anderson is OUR school to nearly all the students. This year, for the first time, all students have attended Anderson as' only an integrated school. Faculty and staff agree that things are better this year in an exciting way. New activities are emerging . . there's a. sense of do- ing things together and trying plenty of new ideas. MARIAN ANDERSON JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TULSA, OKLAHOMA VOLUME 9 - 1 A We are bugged . . . First initials of buggers seeking reasons for Anderson's success spell out Watergate Mr. Greadington refuses to give up tapes. Mr. David Marsha1l's old tennis shoes had become legend. He surprised everyone by starting this school year with a new pair. All summer, TV was flooded with Watergate hearings. Anderson's opening assembly, under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Price, picks up the theme, and we find a hear- ing disclosing that Anderson has been bugged by persons wanting to know the schoo1's secrets of success. All new paint and tile behind the drinking fountains greet us as we return. There are several new teachers . . . some new looks in men's white shoes and new mustaches in evidence. New seventh graders seem shorter than average crop, but a good group . . . ninth graders are soon on way to raising money for spring party . . . eighth graders have officers who make things happen. The hoped-for air conditioning has not materialized by September, but soon workmen appear, and the promise is spring completion. Math gets new emphasis from the Education Service Center . . . we add a teacher and aide in program to improve ninth graders' computation skills. 2 Several new teachers made the scene at Anderson this year. Miss Norma Thomp- son, new girls' physical education teacher, had a transportation problem one day, so solved it by riding her motorcycle! ABOVE, Mr. John Benson, new math teacher, gives yearbook staffer Louis Peoples a hand in reminding students and staff to buy a 1974 Hummingbird. Sherri Rodgers and Jan Christopher help at start of year by giving schedule cards to eighth and ninth graders who attended Anderson last year.

These are just a few of the very REAL reasons the 1974 Hum- mingbird staff, on behalf of students, faculty, and administration, dedicates this book to our nurse, Mrs. Emily Latimer. v, Receiving her education in Bristow and Muskogee, Okla., and at the University of Kansas, Tulsa, University, Gradiess' School of Nursing, Atlanta, Ga., Mrs. Latimer faithfully and capably serves Anderson students as medical adviser. 4 Mrs. Emily Latimer As our school nurse, Mrs. Emily Latimer keeps track of the physical well1being of all students. She conducts physical examinations, keeps records, recommends check-ups by physicians when dis- covering conditions that indicate. Keeping check on weight interests students. ...-of ,,af A...w-'f ag'-9 is Although she's here only mornings, Mrs. Latimer sees all students: some who want excuses from gym classes, others needed admittance back to school after illnesses.

At RIGHT, Wendy Robbins is prepared with an umbrella, Lydia Tosh wishes she had one. Students at school have ac- tivities beyond the classroom and regular organizations. We get to ap- preciate each others' styles. Hair styles range from long to short, straight to curly, Afros, pony tails, Super Fly, blow-outs, French braids, plaits, Macks, Elvis Presleys, even a few crew cuts and a Mohican. Any style, with a few restrictions, is all right, as long as it is right for you. Things at Anderson in its third year of integration are pretty good. In fact, the theme of the Watergate Orienta- tion assembly is that the buggers were trying to get the secret of Anderson's success for other schools. Hair style? Varied! New faces in the Wanted posters at LEFT are Delray Scott and Don Doyle. Delray's long locks are in sharp contrast to the Mohican styly shaved for Don by his father. BELOW, Vera Guevera, Tony Peoples, Liann Swope, Teresa Robinson, and Chuck Vance display more hair today styles. At Anderson, to each his own! ililii' mi 2 Spook-0-Grams start it . . . Sending Spook-o-grams is an important part of the scene just before Halloween at Anderson. Sponsored by Leader Corps, the new fad gives students a chance to spook or bewitch a friend. Tommy Green and Wendy Robbins create a message for the gram they're sending to a fellow student or teacher. ABOVE, Right, Miss Norma Thompson and Leader Corps girls sell Spook-O-Grams to senders. iii During sixth periods just before Halloween it was Spook-o-gram delivery time.

Following the Leader Corps lead, ninth grade officers sell Gobble- grams in November. Later: Santa- grams, or course, and Heart-o- grams. The Leader Corps profits go to buy T-shirts, ninth grade proceeds will help defray costs of the ninth grade spring party. Seventh, eighth and ninth graders choose football queens this year, although it is not a school-sponsored event. Contestants sell tickets to fellow students to get votes. A colorful flowered archway is used for crowning of the queens and introduction of attendants at the homecoming. Football games, cheerleader try-outs and practice . . . make part of the fall scene. Crocheting's a big thing this year . . . everyone with new crocheted purses, vests, hats. Competition for football queens involves the selling of tickets. Kerri Bennett, a contestant for eighth grade queen, gets a vote from James Allen. Candy sales help student fund Hay Were part of scene l Candy selling is an annual thing at Anderson, but this year there's a new twist. We can decorate our rooms with posters if we sell enough bars of candy. Some of the posters are the black light kind. Collecting becomes almost a way of life. We collect paper to take part in the KELi Save Our Trees cam- paign, with homerooms and other classes challenging each other. We help others by collecting canned foods before Christmas. Mr. Steve Mayfield's homeroom brings in the most cans. The Red Cross membership drive and collection is the most successful in recent years, with S140.00 coming in from all homerooms. Weather brings us a cou- ple of extra days off, when ice and snow make driving too hazardous. And we don't have to make 'em up! It takes all A's to make Principal's Honor Roll.

V N Roll back 25 years- There's more decorating for Christmas in nearly every room this year. Hardly a bulletin board or door is left without its seasonls greetings. In Mrs. Phyllis Lasarsky's science room, a tree is decorated with test tubes. The last day of school before the holidays, we have a '5O's party. Most of the students dress in the '5O's styles-the girls in saddle oxfords and long skirts or dresses, hair in pony tailsg the boys in ankle-high pan- ts, white shirts, black jackets, hair combed back. Some teachers join in the spirit of the day by pulling out old outfits. Mr. Ben Bly, new math teacher, looks more like a student in his very real '5O's outfit. Carolyn Phillips, Gayla Pendleton, and Brenda Bobby socks, mid-calf skirts, and the dances of the '50's were the style of the day on December 21 when Student Council and the P-TA sponsored a holiday party. Dancing in the gym, Carol Robbins and Rodney Kelley show how the old folks used to dance. Blades provide a fashion parade of the '5O's. BELOW, Tasha Eaton and Robbie Wilkes try out the jitterbug steps of those years gone by. Air conditioning is coming TU Jazz is cool Back we come, hoping for air conditioning, but not yet. So all through the late fall and the winter, workmen are in the ceilings and walls, preparing the existing duct work and putting in everything need- ed to get us cooled . . . hopefully in plenty of time for warm spring days. There's plenty to keep us busy though, with new projects in nearly every area. Students in Mrs. Viola Sellers' classes add a section of arts and crafts, and make candles, pic- tures, ceramic figurines. A January visit from TU band members gives us a real treat. We really go for the jazz part of the concertl Former Anderson student Gerald Davis is part of the TU group.

The books were ready in time for Valentine's Day. ffl --ff s f, so fe During the ninth grade lunch hour Sharon Wallace, Sharlene Wallace, and Elenor Jackson are dancing to soul music in the gym. Students can bring records and have fun dancing and listening to music at noon, or they can play basketball or pingpong. Kerri Bennett, Liz Bry- ant, Teresa Robinson, Brenda Blades, Alvin Dawson, and Fritz Nolan, eighth grade officers, ass- emble the pages for the Student Directory, pub- lished and sold by the eighth grade for the wh- ole school. Students who wanted their names, add- resses and 'phone nu- mbers in it were listed. 1 ' f L. '.o Pick a number Noon recreation in the gyms is a regular part of the scene now, with nearly everyone hurrying to get through eating so they can join friends in a heated game of basketball or in cool music. Records may be played in the girls' gym, and there's pingpong, basketball and volleyball in the boys' and girls' gyms. Assistant principal, Mr. Murrell Burney, and counselors, Mr. Thomas Kirk and Mr. Dean Loyd, are on hand to supervise and usually get in on playing basket- ball, too. There's a new book around. Eighth grade officers, with plenty of ambition and energy, get out a stu- dent directory this year. Students voluntarily list their names, ad- dresses and telephone numbers, the officers prepare the lists and arrange for printing. Pre-publication cost is 35 cents, if you're late, you pay 40 cents. 5 . QS l KST p Cxsgwne. I ' 1 ' , lf l , I -h .vlv J ffm' ' 'W ' v I .

Action . . . Is the belief of many Anderson Stu- dent Council Officers and representatives. The student council meeting was held in Ada, Oklahoma, November 5-6. Attending the meeting were Paula Stafford, president, Cheryl Beauchamp, reporter, Roy Amster, treasurer, Rodney Kelley. Student Council also sponsored the canned food drive at Christmas time. The total collected was given to the Salvation Army who in turn dis- tributed the canned goods where most needed. On December 21, 1973, the Student Council helped give a Christmas Party that the Parent-Teacher-Association sponsored. The theme of the party was the 5O's with the students dressing in clothing looking like middle of 1950's costume and 5O's dancing. This fine organization has done many things that are appreciated throughout the school, among the students, faculty, and administration.

The two main aid groups at Anderson are Leader Corps and School Helpers. Leader Corps is an organization in the gym- nasium that helps the teacher in many different areas. Leader Corps are not excused from any gym activities, but are expected to fulfill all gym requirements. The School Helpers assist in many different areas. Most of these students don't have but five classes for various reasons. The assistants work in nurse's office, for counselor, and as cafeteria and library assistants. These are surely fine young adults that Anderson will certainly remember and are most grateful for.

Red Cross Youth Service Program at Anderson Junior High School is a very active and involved organization. Throughout the year Red Cross has been involved in many activities. Just before Christmas Red Cross participated in the Christmas parade and also stuffed Christmas stockings. The stockings were stuffed and given to the Red Cross, who dis- ,. tributed them where needed. -- Another project was the membership drive. It was designed to raise money to support the service programs of the Red Cross Youth. People also brought unwanted or slightly used toys or playthings. These toys were given to the Tulsa Task Force.

On September 21st, sixteen eighth graders ran for eighth grade officers. Each candidate made a political speech, and afterwards ballot boxes were placed on the stage in the auditorium, then classes voted by homerooms. Soon after the election the officers went right to work by putting suggestion boxes in the hall until the middle of October. The suggestions were on three levels: recreation and entertain- ment: rules and regulationsg academic affairs. On the recreation level students wanted a snack bar in the cafeteria, movies, and a pop machine. In rules and regulations students suggested that they should be more involved in making rulesg allowing students to eat in the park. In academic affairs pupils wanted a study hallg a dean, prin- cipal, and counselor honor roll based on percent, and students also wanted a student directory. On November 28th, the officers held a meeting. The first activity that they decided to encounter was the student directory. Students participated on a voluntary basis by giving their name, address, phone number, and zip code. The profits would go for additional class activities.

Was the motto of our seventh grade. Working, putting all their effort into every job they performed, never giving up when things were hard. But when things became extra hard, that is where their class officers came in, talking with students, teachers, counselors and other staff members to settle their problems, proving that they will provide a fine future for Anderson.

Starting off the year, they made campaign speeches in their drive for class officers. The seventh graders in Mr. Conway's class made a video tape to show elementary school students how it is in junior high school, although because of technical difficulties it was not able to be shown. Although our seventh grade class was said to be one of the smallest ever, they're big on ability. The feeder schools are Clinton, Woods, and Jackson Elementaries. Our seventh graders come to Anderson as inexperienced sixth graders, but soon they become part of our school ac- tivities.

Angela Meteryer became quite good at the handcraft, and demonstrates how its done. A variety of art forms were taught seventh graders and all art students at Anderson, giving them all opportunities for unique ex- pression. Many found they were more artistic than they imagined. T The I.S.C.S. program in the seventh grade science classes of Mrs. Leola Farmer allows students to work at their own pace, testing over mmits of discovery and experimentation when they are ready.

Cool administration makes things smooth When sudden snows during the school day covered up the cars, Mr. Greadington, principal, helped out clerks and teachers by scraping off the snow. Help is appreciated! Handling bus schedules, bus passes, dis- ciplinary problems and many other ad- ministrative details make up the load that lands on Mr. Burney's desk. He checks on young men's attendance, and is a basketball regular in the noon recreation in the gym. Mr. Burney has seen the last bus load of students off on one of the snowy days.

The two top administrative men who agree that it's been a better-than-average year, and who helped make it so, are Jesse L. Greadington, principal, and Murrell L. Burney, assistant principal. Mr. Greadington has been at Ander- son since the school opened fourteen years ago. When he first came to Anderson he was an English teacher and assistant principal. He became principal three years ago. Mr. Burney came to Anderson in 1972 as assistant principal. Prior to com- ing to Marian Anderson, Mr. Burney served at many other schools, including Bixby junior and senior highs, Tulsa Cen- tral High, and the Harrah, Oklahoma, schools.

Mrs. Johnson sponsors the ninth grade, planning money-raising projects and the year-end activities, as well as enrolling them for high school. Mrs. Burton ad- vises seventh grade ac- tivities. Even ninth grade students need advice on schedules. Donald Walker and Sidney Hardman get help from Mrs. Johnson at the start of the year. How can anyone be afraid of something so soft and small as a hamster? wonders Ricky Bedwell, as he takes a visitor in to see Mrs. Johnson.
