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.
