Emerging into a new year, a new class or a new situation are the ex- periences that make us what we are. and PROUD of what we are. Educational Needs Met Through Administration Efforts Working hand in hand with the faculty, the administration strove to enrich the already productive program of Millwood. Mr. L. W. Good. Mr. Donald M. Edwards and Mr. Charles Greene provided the backbone of the school. Superintendent L. W. Good, in an effort to obtain funds for school maintenance and improvement, met with the State Board of Education. At these meetings Good also assisted Millwood by submitting proposals to the Board and making sure the buses passed their safety standards. In addition to keeping Millwood running smoothly. Mr. Good aided in upgrading the school’s testing program. Mr. Edwards, who worked mostly with accountability, also helped in upgrading the testing program and raising the standards of Millwood’s Honors program. Enriching his knowledge of ad- ministrative power. Mr. Greene attended the National Principal’s Convention in Las Vegas which was held in February. Greene’s daily duties included enforcement of school policies such as tardiness and absenteeism. Both Mr. Edwards and Mr. Greene met with the Parent and Student Advisories once a month in order to discuss suggestions for improving school policies. Through such meetings the Ad- ministration implemented a new variation schedule in order to provide time for activity periods. 16 TOP: Welding an iron hand at board meetings. Mr. L. W.

Gene Allen) r-ki Cooperation Key Word For Falcon Faculty Experience combined with ideas from new teachers created an innovative and con- structive year for the Millwood faculty. With the second phase of accountability, all teachers worked together and wrote behavorial objectives to go with the five priorities outlined in the first phase of the ac- countability program. The accountability program, set down by the state legislature two years ago. enabled teachers to account for ideas and materials used in the classroom. Many teachers, working toward higher degrees, attended night and summer school. The teachers who received new degrees were Mr. A1 Jones. Mr. Edgar Scott. Mrs. Barbara Hunteman and Mrs. Susan Gregory.

The future became an easier obstacle to over come with prepara- tion built from the responsibilities they had in clubs. ily Rush EW A-Pfili Student Council Gets Involved The Millwood Senior-high Student Council emerged into a bigger and better year in 1974-75. The 20 member group worked to find and build new ways for encouraging stu- dent leadership. The council improvised the need and importance of a student government. The Student Council worked to bring forth a good year and definite results of their efforts were seen throughout the school. Sponsor, Mrs. Kathryn Sullins, will be retiring this year after 5 years of Stu- dent Council sponsoring. TOP LEFT Junior High Student Council members were ROW 1; Maurice Steele. Donald Lee.

Johnita Bush Advisory Committees Exhibit Leadership WXYZ The main goal of the advisory committee was building and bettering faculty and student communica- tion. The faculty needed to know the wants and needs of the students, to know where to improve. Likewise the students needed to know what the faculty wanted from them. If it wasn’t known, there was a communication gap and nothing could progress. Closing that gap was the Committee's main goal. Some of the benefits that came from the students and faculty getting it together was the Mini Courses and more assemblies. One of the interests of the Library Advisory Com- mittee was improving reading programs. The committee met with different schools from all over the nation to dis- cuss related reading problems, and what solutions could be found. Another program the Library Committee worked on. or rather for was to enlarge the school library. TOP LEFT: Members of the Library Advisory were ROW 1; Julie Williams. Jane Cotton. Jackie Griggs.

Soulful Falcon Band Best Ever 112 musical geniuses made up the Falcon band. Mr. Edgar Scott, the band director, made great progress with the talents of these students. They performed at every football game creating spirit and pride among the stu- dent body. The band also performed in several con- tests at colleges and universities such as Cen- tral State. They also went to Colorado par- ticipating in a marching contest and parade. The brass section of the band which consisted of trumpets, tubas, trombones, baritones and french horns joined the woodwind section which consisted of clarinets, saxophones, oboe and flutes to combine and create the unique and soulful sound of the Falcon Band.

These students were selected by audition and Mrs. Wanda Pollard said it was really a hard choice since Millwood had such an out- standing mixed choir. The chorus was invited and went to the St. Louis, Missouri chorus festival. The festival lasted four days with choirs from all over the United States competing against each other. The 1975 chorus really tuned things up. TOP: Choraleers were STANDING: Jaureen Sattiewhite. Rex Peoples. Jackie Morgan. Talmadge Younger. Glenda Jones. Greg Berry. Joetta Williams. James Smith.

School Pride Emphasized By Spirit Club, Drill Team Emerging in 1974-75 was the drill team consisting of 14 members and sponsors Mrs. Emma Maxey and Mrs. Merline Hawkins. They hoped to build a more solid ground for the future members to stand on. Their goal was to make the students have more pride and spirit in the school. The major activities for this year were participating in half-time performances at the football games, marching at Homecoming, along with other parades, and demonstrating their talents at pep assemblies. The drill team’s major goal was to gain more local and state recognition for the hard work and dedication that has contributed to their success. The former “Pep Club” now “Spirit Club came together for another excellent year of promoting school spirit. They showed their spirit at many pep assemblies, football games, and basketball games. The sponsors were Mrs. Arniela Spears (Sr.) and Mrs. Brenda Butler (Jr.). TOP: Active members of the Senior High Spirit Club were ROW 1; Cindy Miller. Denise Richardson. Bunny Huddleston.

Cheerleaders Continue To Get Bigger And Better To become a Jr. or Sr. High cheerleader, it requires dedication from young ladies who wish to bring spirit and pride into the school. With the help of the sponsors Mrs. Amelia Spears and Mrs. Brenda Butler the cheerleaders accomplished their goals by bringing spirit and pride to the student body. The cheerleaders took up gymnastics this year, and it helped them as far as jumping and flipping was concerned. They cheered at all the football and basketball games and sup- ported the school in the best way that they could. The Sr. High added 5 new cheerleaders during basketball season. The Jr. High followed by adding 4 new girls. TOP: Junior High Cheerleaders were Danta Robinson. Danille Jackson. High Cheerleaders were Row 1: Claudia OUle, Vickie Hartley. PamSeffel.

This was the first time that Millwood has ever gotten a spring delivery book. Mrs. Clements, who came at midterm picked up where Mr. Ray Hand left off. Cutlines, layouts, rough drafts: these terms became common language for the yearbook staff. Long hours coupled with just plain hard work made this year’s “Talon” the best ever.

Along with the dance most students sold ads to many of the communities businesses. Jour- nalism 1 was a tool for the students to utilize their journalistic abilities and to prepare for a career in the communications field. There were a total of 17 students who with the addition of their imagination wrote columns, new stories, features, articles and editorials. A new project was the Cupid Express. On Valentines Day a combination of Journalism 1 students and the Yearbook staff delivered valentines and suckers to students all over the school. It turned out to be a well planned as well as a fun money-raising project. TOP LEFT: Newspaper Staff members were BOTTOM ROW: Darryel Adkins. Byron Dillahunty.

Speech Narrows Communication Gap The Black Student Union’s purpose was to enable students to become more aware of their black background. The BSU sponsored black heritage week with help from their sponsor Mrs. Alber- ta Berry. They also sponsored a Black Liberated ball during the month of February. To become a member of the BSU. one must have had Black History and be at least a junior. Even with these requirements BSU was one of the largest clubs on campus.

The objective of the course, under the instruction of Mrs. Beth Binkley, was to help students learn to communicate effectively. Long due recognition was finally focused on Millwood due to the high ratings some of the students, such as Jackie Morgan. Vickie Hartley and Talmadge Younger recieved at speech tour- naments throughout the state. These students with outstanding honors. along with other speech members like Rex Peoples. Patricia Thompson. Wendell Huggins. Erwin Pickett and Belva Chambers, became film makers when they used old films to make new ones of their own. The speech class has pleased our students and patrons with their programs, such as The Night of Miracles” which was presented for the Christ- mas program, and will continue to do so as it emerges toward a promising future.

Builds Better Tomorrows FHA The Future Homemakers of America became involved in new activities during 1974-75. Some of the club’s meetings were based upon self defense, foods and nutrition, and a fashion show. The study of foods and nutrition in- cluded a visit by Italian food dealers who enlarged upon the nutritional values of these foods. “Seventeen Magazine” sponsored a fashion show where the girls modeled self- styled clothes and prom outfits. The group attended the annual FHA rally where members could become better acquainted with the purpose of the Future Homemakers of America. TOP: F H A. club officers.

Foreign Language Club Communicates The Foreign Language Club spent the year striving for “togetherness’ at Millwood. The group held the belief that participa- tion encouraged them to learn more about a foreign language. Studying different culture types through meetings and excursions con- tributed to this goal. Mrs. Linda Nimerick was the sponsor- foreign language teacher who left after first semester. The new teacher and sponsor was Mr. Maurice Giles for second semester. His experiences and travels to Spanish-speaking countries brought new enlightment to the Foreign Language Club.

Art Club Worked To Better Environment With fund-raising projects and working towards a lovelier environments at Millwood, the Art Club has become a very active organization. Apart from her daily class schedule, sponsor Joyce Jackson directed the club members toward activities that were fun as well as beneficial to the school. Most of the club's activities centered around raising funds for both the club and the school. The entire student body had a chance to get involved in a Denim Decorating Contest held this winter. More than money, this gave all of the students a chance to express themselves through art. Perhaps the most outstanding activity for the Art Club was the Annual Arts Festival held in the spring. The festival, which included music and theatre presentations as well as art displays, made the club members more aware of what the term art” really encompasses.

Bicycle Members Save Gas A fun way to become healthier and build muscles was what the members of the bicycle club learned. The members of the bicycle club were taught bicycle safety rules. The right way to ride a bike, the correct hand signals to use. and to be careful of traffic were just a few rules that they learned. The club also developed their own bicycle laws. They also learned how to take care of their bikes to keep them in top shape. Riding a bike is a lot of fun. It beats walking, and it sure beats the gasoline prices.

Science Fair Adds New Dimensions To Club The science club has really put things together this year with backing a lot of good and important projects. The science fair was sponsored by the science club, which bought all the trophies and ribbons. They also brightened up the school by painting the litter cans outside the school red. white and blue. For the second time the science club went to Gotter Camp for one week. The camp was a place where students could learn about science and nature and have fun while doing it.

Business Club, Student Librarians Strove For Excellence Exposure to other people’s experiences can be a large part of becoming a well- developed individual. Barbara Hunteman. who is the sponsor of the Student Librarians Association, formed this group to help the students become aware of this concept. The members of the organizations were encouraged to help in bringing books to others, so they might become a part of these experiences as well. As a club project, Adrion Dittmar wrote a play describing Library Classification Systems. Other members, Beverly Cooper. Theresa Nelson, Kamala Valderas. Jenny Allen. Tim Anderson, La Don Deatherage. and Fran Sulcer presented this play to the students as a teaching aid. Club members also transferred books onto tapes to help children with their reading dis- abilities. These projects, along with the club’s regular book program demonstrate the member’s increasing awareness of the need for books. TOP: Business Club members were SITTING; Darryl Jones. Wendell Huggins.

Although sometimes there was failure, the long hours of practice always came through to help produce winning seasons. Faults were utilized was always learned takes. Mighty Falcons Charge To 2nd Place In State The Falcon football team became 1974 State runner up in class A. The 35 member team was predicted to take state but were defeated by Stroud in the final state playoff. Throughout the season the Falcons prevented all opponents from scoring more than two touchdowns. The Stroud team was com- pletely prepared for the falcons in the final game, where they stopped Millwood from scoring. Head Coach Leodies Robinson was named “Little All City Coach of the Year”. Other individual awards went to Darryl Jones (All State Team) Rex Peoples, honorable mention for all-State and Daryl Carruthers, also received honorable mention.

Queen Peretha Grundy. Hershel Langston. Toni Brannon. Rex Peoples. The Falcon basketball season can only be summed up in one word —thrilling. Taking second place in the Boomer Conference with a 19-12 record, the Falcons lost a close battle for first to Crooked Oak. Surprising everyone involved in the McGuiness Tournament, the small but mighty Falcons stormed into the finals against the tough Northwest Classen Knights. Millwood gave the Knights of the 4A league a rough time before finally being defeated. Noble. Lindsey and Wynnewood fell respectively to Millwood during the Wynnewood Tournament. The first place trophy was clinched with a close 56-52 win over Wynnewood. State playoff dreams finally came true for the young Falcon team. Losing only once in the Regional Tourna- ment to Cordell, the Falcons fought even harder in the loser s bracket to make the playoffs. District. Area and Regional Tournament wins against such schools as Jones. Mustang. Coalgate and Broken Bow gave Millwood the push it needed to go to state. Scoring a first round victory against No. 1 ranked Pawhuska. the Falcons advanced to the semi-finals. But Cordell once again proved the toughest when the Falcons suffered a disappointing 65-56 loss to them. Senior Darryel Adkins honored Millwood by being selected to the All-State Tournament team. Senior Fred- die Cobbs also earned a spot on the Little All-City team. Falcon basketball team members were ROW 1; Rex Peoples. Don Willis. William Langston. Hershel Langston.

Girls Dribble To Victory The girls basketball team or “Blue Magic.” with help from coach Amelia Spears, had a very successful and winning season. They supported the school in a spirited and dedicated fashion while winning a great percentage of their games. Graduating seniors Carolyn Carter and LaTonya Hutton led the “Blue Magic in scor- ing. Peretha Grundy also led the team with 15 rebounds per game. Participation on the team helped the young ladies to experience working with others, and the responsibility of winning.

For the first time in 5 years the team lost a game. During the game with McGuinness, freshman Don Montgomery ran for a touchdown but lost it when he released the ball in the end zone where one official called a “fumble”. The cause for his loss was due to the official confusing the goal line with the 5- yard line. This mistake resulted in the loss of a winning touchdown. Deep pride and dedication reassured the team members and Coach Ron Lowry that they were not responsible for the loss. The team’s potent offensive attack and excellent defensive effort proved the 1974 team as successful as previous Falcon teams. TOP.

Joe Carter was the team’s leading scorer and rebounder. Carey Noiel proved consistent talents both offensively and defensively. The main weakness in the 10- member team was its inability to shoot from “outside” consistently. Coach George Wagner and the team members were able to maintain a strong morale which promoted the players to a 7-6 record. TOP LEFT: Freshman team members were ROW 1: Trey Washington. Adron Crawford.

Shad meaning SPEED. HEIGHT and DISTANCE. Those were the goals of the men’s track team. To achieve these goals took alot of muscle. stamina and HARD WORK!!!! The team spent their spring afternoons developing the needed muscle and state of mind for the grueling events that have made track the oldest sport on record. 52 TOP LEFT: The relay team has fun practicing for a track meet.

Most of the members were freshmen which differed from previous teams in which there were mainly upperclassmen. Some of the group’s activities included an invitational tournament to John Marshall. The young men participated in six main events: volting, parallel bars, high bar. free style, still rings and side horse. Coach A1 Jones has instructed the gymnastics team for two years. Last year’s team placed 2nd at a major meet. TOP: Gymnastics team members were ROW 1; Alan Washington. Steve Gahagan. James Smith. Ricky Baker. ROW 2; Charles Williams. Leon Washington. Don McCary.

Slicing, chipping and driving may look easy but it takes a lot of practice, hard work and patience to hit a little white ball into a three inch hole! Both individual and team scoring played an important part in the golf tournament. Trophies were awarded to the individual and team with the lowest score. The goal that the team looked forward to is bettering themselves even more next year. TOP LEFT: Rex Peoples practices for an up coming tournament.

It was a quick year for the seniors of 75. Their motto, “Falcons strive for excellence” portrayed their spirit and determination as being the representatives of the graduating class. Their leaders were Darryl Jones, presi- dent; Petey Greene, vice-president; Darlene Sherrill, secretary; Willie Brown, treasurer; and Darryl Carruthers and Rex Peoples, parlimentarians. Being a senior meant many things to these students. Their’s was feeling of leadership accomplishment and the fact they completed four years of hard work. To their fellow students the seniors left their deter- mination, respect and “striving for ex- cellence” in hopes that the juniors will live up to their standards next year.
