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

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

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. DAVID KILIAN LOWRY MORRIS 13
