Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1976 volume:

“Changes” nUJT Ofy e-iaT6 CHANGES have happened in our lives and the lives of others since the last yearbook. WE THE PEOPLE of the United States of America and Medford are making history. No matter what we may think or do, history is always in the making. Probably the biggest event of the year to all Americans is the one fact that this is the Bicentennial year of this our United States of America. Yes, we have heard, seen, and read a lot about it. Almost everything has a Bicen- tennial connotation. WHAT WE HAVE DONE start- ed at the beginning of our school year when we became a Bicen- tennial city. (l)Mrs. Gladys War- ren presented Mayor Charles Divel- biss the Bicentennial Charter. (2) The Vance Air Force Base Color Guard helped with the beautiful flag raising ceremony. Upon re- ceiving the Bicentennial Flag, (3) Mayor Divelbiss and Wayne Kelly, Student Council President, dis- played it to the entire student body. (4) During the year, the band dis- played all four flags while march- ing. PLAYBACK 76 show Medford excelling in Football and boys bas- ketball. Medford students were geared to a successful year, espec- ially in sports. In football we must always face that last game of the season with Wakita and it seemed that the Warriors had done it to us again as they led the entire game 7-6. But then, unable to move the ball with only a minute and 34 seconds left to play and facing a fourth down, Medford chose to try a field goal. (5) With Mike Ciskow- ski holding, Mark Aebi booted a 39-yarder that just barely cleared the uprights. It was enough though and Medford came away with a 9-7 win and the District Crown. In action started in the District Tour- nament at Shidler. (6) After much time in waiting Mr. Catherwood and Mrs. Hajek finally got their ceramic kiln. (7) Then came February, the time to plant those trees, and Mayor Divelbiss was on the spot to help in the ceremony as the entire grade school looked on. (8) Just to see how it used to be, take a look at this Medford street scene of the Kentucky Carnival back in 1902. And then (9) looking west to the Court House and water tower we see that much has been added since the early 1900's. (10) Each year a member of the Medford Senior class becomes a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). Pictured here are the officers of the Grant County organizations.

A new tennis courfwas constructed. The old theatre was made into a flower shop. Medford received a new ambulance equipped with the latest devices. Approximately 30 people took the first aid courses. They learned how to drive and operate the equipment in the ambulance. Long time Medford dentist Dr. Lynn retired as was replaced by Dr. George Williams. A $ew optomitrist arrived in Med- ford and his office is located in the Medford Cliriio, For the fist time in many years, Medford only has one grocery store, Mr. T's IGA, after the closing of the Red Bud store. A new quick shop was erected as a convenience torc. For the first time in about 10 years, Medford has two foreign exchanges students, both from Brazil. They arrived during the second semester. They are Staying with two families who volunteered to keep them. Medford has a lot of activities planned for the Bicentennial year. Mrs. Gladys Warren, chairman of the Bicen- tennial Committee visited Medford in the Fall to present Mayor Charles Divclbiss with the Bicentennial Charter and flag. The Flag raising ceremony was conducted by the Vance Air Force Base Color Guard. Change was evident in the Medford School system as eight faculty members resigned. Those eight positions were filled by the beginning of the new school term. Many people were reminded of those dust bowl days in the 30's as strong winds blew across the baren wheat fields stricken by dry weather, green bugs, mites and army worms.

In those days, educa- tion was still made up of the three R's: reading 'riting, and 'rithmatic. During the course of that year, we took time to write get-well letters to any friends or classmates who became ill. Birth- days were special, and we had parties at the end of such days. Mrs. Fogel would draw a cake on the blackboard for us, with a can- dle for each year. (This tradition carried on into second grade. ) In second grade, our numbers increased, as students from the Catholic school joined us. During this year, those of us who had loose teeth will remember that Mrs. Taylor could easily have had a career in dentistry. And, appro- priately enough, that was the year that Sherrie Holden brought her tonsils to show and tell. In the spring came the annual May Day track meet, at which Joan Arter- burn and Kathy Warren were strip- ped of their honors for being en- tered in the wrong age category. JOAN ARTERBURN Sec.-Tres. JOHN DIVELBISS Reporter CAROL AGARD MICKEY BOWMAN They both survived, however, and entered the third grade with the rest of us. In this class, in addition to the flag salute and the Lord's Prayer, we sang America (My Couhtry Tis of Thee) each morning before we started class. In show and tell, another remark- able experience: Kathy brought her baby brother (Doug) as her item for the day. In the fourth grade, the girls discovered boys, and Joan and Kathy (what, Again?) got in trou- ble for writing love letters to Mike Ciskowski. The boys discov- ered something also: punishment is not to be laughed at. While Mrs. Cassingham spanked Mike Tebow with a history book, Duane Robertson saw a bit of humor in the situation, and started laugh- ing. He, too, was spanked. In the fifth grade our class was split up. Mrs. Simons took some of our rank, and game Mrs. Bolwahn the rest. That year, as the Beatles were introducing Psy- chedelic music, and pop art was taking hold, we spent much of our time making and breaking secret codes. RICKY CINK KAREN DIVELBISS SENIOP DEBBIE ENGLAND CAROLYN FITZGERALD In sixth grade, our class was re-united, and the Beatles broke up. During the summer (July 16, 1969), we had watched a man walk on the moon. We all started noticing a world that was larger than just what we had experienced before. However, we continued to find entertainment in class, such as a volcano made for a science project starting a fire in the trash can, or tearing the screen door off Mrs. Simons reading lab. At the end of the year, Mr. Reese guided us through our grade promotion, and we all prepared for the glor- ious world of Junior High School. We entered seventh grade thinking that we were Big Wheels and continued to think that way despite efforts of the upperclassmen. In eighth grade, still thinking we were the best thing to happen to Medford High in a long while, we entertained ourselves by cheat- ing on tjests in Earth Science. (note to Mrs. Hildinger: Kathy and Mike started it all. ) Our freshmen year, we caused so much trouble in Jr. High Chorus we got switched to High School. MINDY HART SHERRIE HOLDEN BILL HUFFMAN WAYNE KELLY In Mr. Feist's class, Carolyn Fitzgerald started crying because Mike embarrassed her while she was giving her book report. Sophomore year, John Divel- biss had heart failure when he saw a snake on a biology field trip. Wayne Kelly rode his motorcycle to a football game in Cherokee, and got rained on his way home. In our Junior year, Carolyn and Joan skipped out of play prac- tice and were shot at as they drove down main street. The play went well, anyway. A few weeks after the play, we had our prom, where the teachers kept asking the band to turn down the sound, and it went up instead. During the Junior year, the Medford basketball boys smothered the Wakita Warriors which was the first win over the Warriors in several years. Thanks to the Senior boys leadership, the football team won the Distict Crown, the first time ever for this group of boys. We're now living through our Senior year, with all that entails: announcements, senior pictures, another play another prom; then graduation.

The government is trying to keep oil coining into the II. S. from foreign Since President Ford has taken the Presidential Oath, two attempts have been made to assassinate him. Both at- tempts were made by women while the President was in California. But on top of all that, a young man accidently hit the Presidential Limousine while enroute to the White House. The files were re-opened on the Kennedy assassination The defense for Oswald was trying to prove that there was enough evidence that he didn't assassinate former President Kennedy. .The equal rights amendment for men and women has been exercised j lot this year. Earlier in the school year there was trouble in some of the colleges due to the fact that the women didn't believe that they were receiving ■ There are several candidates campaigning for the office of the President. The new President will take office in 1977, Two of the Republicans campaigning are President Ford and Ronald Reagan of California. Some Democratics campaigning are Jim Carter of Georgia, George Wallace of Alabama and Fred Harris of Okla- horn a. A big happening earlier in the year was the link up between the Soviet Soyuz and the American Apollo Spaceship. The eVent wasyery successful. It was also the first time in history for such a link up between two countries in space. 5 - . • «� � -w -— • --« - (1) A little iodine on that cut and you'll be good as new.

Glen came to Medford in the year 1969 from Renfrow and entered the fourth grade. Glen was active in FFA, Band, FCA, High School Vocal, Lettermans Club and High School Football and Track. His ambition was to play football for OU. But his time ended so early in life. He was always happy and he could do no one wrong. Glen died on July 28, 1975 leaving behind many sad faces of all his friends, but fond memories as he was. This Page dedicated to the memory of Paul Dean Quigley Paul Quigley was bom September 12, 1960 in Enid, Oklahoma to Mr. and Mrs. Harold Quigley and a family of one sister Carol and one brother, Robert. Paul was a member of the Medford School since the first grade. Paul's activities were FFA, Band, Basketball, Football, and Track. Paul's life was taken in an accident at the age of 15.

Pam Coym starts her Home Ec project by cutting out her patterns. Donnetta Boyer helps with the Chicken Sup- per by making salad. Playschool is fun for pre-schoolers but Min- dy has different thoughts. Instruction in cooking preparation, according to Su$an Cink, comes in pretty handy for Chicken Suppers. Ironing almost seems a thing of the past due to new clothing ideas, but Janet Bruner finds it is still a part of Home Ec. Well, it is not all fun and games during Home Ec play school for Mrs. Hajek, as she finds her- self trying to comfort those youngsters who aren't quite sure they want to be involved. The Medford band under the direction of their new band director, Ted Auwen, placed second in Class B in the State Fair Parade. The band was also asked to play for the arrival of President Ford in Oklahoma City, but couldn't due to other activities happening that day. Many of the organizations entered floats in the Homecoming parade this year. The FFA float won 1st. At Christmas time, the FCA adopted a cottage of boys at the Epid State School. They bought gifts for the boyS and spent an enjoyable evening playing with them.; The FFIA girls held the annual tea for them mothers. As for Oklahoma, Boren's Broom Brigade became a reality. After his election to the office of Governor of Okla- .homa, Boren started sweeping house of many jobs within the capitol. Although Governor Boren is the youngest around, he seemed to be quite an organizer. Every student and faculty member of the school signed there name as witnesses that the Bicentennial Freedom Train was going to Pennsylvania. Their witnesses will be micro--filmed and placed in a time capsule, buried and dug up in 100 years. The school board started plans for the remodeling of the gym. This will make it possible for adequate space for boys and girls dressing rooms. Several individuals ran for the school board as George Bocox was to go off. Alton Beaver was elected by the pub- lic as a large number of people made their way to the poles to vote. Many years of school history are contained in the bell and cornerstone pictured on this page. Presumably this bell and cornerstone were used with the first stone structured school in Medford in 1911. (Pic- ture of school and bell on We The People divider page). Somehow during the rebuilding in later years the bell was given to Guy McCoy and Clifton Honeyman and John Hula had the cornerstone stored at their business Site. It is also believed this bell was on top of the school building pictured on the Photographs and Memories divider page. It was in 1961 when this structure was replaced with the present school and Guy McCoy was given the Bell. In the Bicentennial Year of 1976, Guy McCoy gave the old bell back to the school district and Clifton Honeyman brought the old cornerstone back. They are both presently a part of our history as they are located in front of the Medford School Building. (1) Freshman Mike Moore is escorted by Tonna Vaughn.
