Millwood High School - Talon Yearbook (Oklahoma City, OK)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1976 volume:

Get Down! Hey! I bet that got your atten- tion. Attention, that's what this year's yearbook is all about. That two word phrase, Get Down , got your attention because it is so well known. Why is it so well known, you ask? Well, Get Down has so many meanings. It could mean Make it good , or Get in there and win , or other meanings we won't discuss right now. This yearbook will grab your attention because the Mill- wood Falcons attract all attention. And I mean all! Why do we attract all attention, you ask? Well, we've just got that get up and go Spirit, and I mean SPIRIT! Millwood has great quality students and faculty. That's what makes us move and groove like stu- dents and faculty should. Oh! and one more thing, we can't leave out our parents and alumni who still push us on toward our goal of perfection. We know we won't get there real soon, but we sure are having fun in the process. To sum this up, like quick, the only thing we have to say is Get Down! Millwood Falcons, Get Down! Now we will let you gaze at our attention-grabber this year--- our yearbook. Go ahead and peek. I won't tell, if you won't. But who cares, because the Millwood Falcons are no secret. —Yvette Gissandaner 2 3M NTS 'EMUP 1. Student Life ............................4 2.

The many new students and teachers renew our energy and help build us bigger and better. It takes time for the settling process, before everyone feels that they fit somewhere. But as the pieces begin to fall into place, classroom confusion be- comes constructive energy. satisfied ABOVE: Showing the world we'rTnumber 1 is the motto behind Millwood's Band per- formances.

The ever popular candy machines are con- stantly humming from students trying to sneak candy before lunch. Few are tricky enough, however, to get by Mr. Charles Greene, The Candy Man , who collects can- dy from every one he catches. But no matter how keen the teachers' noses may be or how good their hearing is, students somehow always get by with eating in class. ABOVE fri ming are just Cheryl Long ACflDEmiCS come first Changes have been made in this year's teaching staff. Eleven new teachers have joined us. With them, come new ideas that strengthen and build our school's curriculum. A new teacher feels the nervousness of venturing on unknown ground. Return- ing teachers may feel the anxiety of starting the new year. Adding to this year's enrichment of our curriculum were special reading classes. Many teachers took a lot of ef- fort which shows that our teachers really strive for quality education to benefit the student. Teachers also try to make their courses as interesting as possible to keep them from being boring. But boredom comes in many shapes, from students await- ing the end of an exercise to teachers hoping the long faculty meeting will finally come to an end. Being a teacher means more than standing in front of a class five days a week. This is shown by teacher par- ticipation in many school activities and in other activities of a purely personal nature. Teachers ARE human. Yes, teachers are people and have lives of their own to lead. This variety is shown by the small selection of activi- ties on these pages - from sports to the State Fair, from clowning around to en- joying nature. Many junior and senior high students were involved in a new experience, the reading program. Project-Focus Reading was designed to help students improve their reading skills by enhancing their profi- ciency and interest. All in all, the reading program has proven a great success and many students have profited. 15 Administration and staff provide spirit of progress MR.

From seniors through seventh graders, each person has his own unique ideas on what the school should be, how you should act, and what kind of place we should have. Special events and activities surround each class. Order- ing announcements, the prom, and the ultimate event, graduation occupy seniors. Juniors raise money for the prom and order class rings. Sophomores are busy learn- ing to drive and competing for varsity athletic teams. Freshmen adjust to high school life, while the seventh and eighth graders prepare for high school. All these things unite to make the way of our world. CLASSES are the way of our world 27 Final year of leisure Joel Anderson Judy Bea Gregory Berry Mike Berry TONI BRANNON, above, takes a turn at directing.

Although many seniors take less than a full load, in most cases, every cre- dit counts. Since every credit may be vital for graduation, the increased freedom of the senior year is tempered by an increased pressure and responsibility. Flunk- ing a course at this point can well mean missing the entire graduation scene. And for those who spend a year of leisure, it can be “The Year of the Loser”. 29 Avis Franklin Feretha Grundy It was rushing to that bus stop, but not quite making it on Mondays. It was studying for a history test and get- ting to school and finding that “Variation Two” had “saved” you. It was football practice until six o’clock every day that had you missing “Star Trek” after school It was buying the “right” dress for the prom that made you forget to buy some- thing for the after party. It was sneaking into your locker third hour that got you in the principal’s office and THEN remembering your book was at home under your bed. But it was sitting on the front row in the assembly that made you realize that you were a senior. And you were mailing off announcements when it struck you that you REALLY would never pass this way again. And, finally, it was walking across that stage to receive your diploma that made you realize that it was over. Yes. That’s what it was. 30 Linnie Guess Edward Hanley A FAREWELL view of the trophy-win- ning senior class float, as it exits at the homecoming football game. 31 ANOTHER TROPHY won by seniors was the award for the best homecoming float, shown here in the homecoming parade. Leadership skills learned One of the privileges and responsibilities of senior class mem- bers is leadership. Because of their greater experience and edu- cation, they often hold the major positions in organizations and in athletic groups. Such experience in leadership is a valuable background for the future and is applicable to business, college or other special- ized training, and even to marriage and family-raising. Senior activities and plans were formulated on the basis of class meetings for suggestions and the use of the committee for further investigation. The use of the committee form of organization allowed many different seniors to take part in planning and organization. Thus, opportunities were presented for each of the 57 seniors to participate IF they wanted. Although seniors often lead the school, they also had valuable leaders guiding them. These included class officers, student council and student advisory representatives, and class spon- sors from the faculty.

SENIOR YEARBOOK staff members take a leery look at the camera, from the other side, Jackie Morgan, Peretha Grundy, Sharri Smith, and Avis Franklin. Impatience may well be a key word for seniors. They have prepared for their chance to enter the world as fully functioning adults. Yet for many, the future holds further train ing at technical schools or academic colleges and universities. Even though many seniors can ac- tually vote, many others feel that this is a small token of acceptance. They must still abide by parental rules and the controls set by school. Seniors have a greater opportunity to make decisions about their own futures than other classes, yet they are still restricted from making many of the major decisions which may well affect the course of their lives.

Vina Potts Jaurene Sattiewhite hold childhood Sure, being a senior means being a leader, an al- most adult, and it also means being a little bit crazy, having that last fling before it is time to really grow up.

You know you’re a junior when you come back from sum- mer vacation and the teachers smirk at you. You know you’re a junior when the second day you come to school you have to think of fund-raising projects for the junior-senior prom. You know you’re a junior when the third day that you’re back the counselors schedule you for the ACT test. You know you’re a junior when the Army sends you their first letter inviting you to join them. You know you’re a junior when the seniors graduate and you move up one more step.

Juniors must make college entrance plans by taking the PSAT and NMSQT ex- aminations, before they’re absolutely sure that they are even going to graduate. The constant problem of acquiring enough credits for graduation and yet still finding time to participate in the fund- raising activities for the prom is familiar to juniors. Also many jun- iors attempt to get as many credits as possible out of the way so that their senior year will be a little bit easier. Juniors prepare for graduation by ordering class rings. They also pre- pare for that time when they will be accepted as adults by working, dating, accepting new leadership responsibilities within the school and growing up, step by step. This year is one full of confused and mixed feelings, where one is torn between the desire to grow up and be mature enough to make one’s own decisions and the desire to cling just a little longer to the childhood which is so rapidly vanishing.

For the 101 juniors, the fun part includes thinking up ex- cuses for those oh-so-demanding teachers, participating in many different activities ranging from the car bash to various sports activities. The trouble part comes when juniors Find that they are expected to take greater individual responsibility for their studies, and in some cases, to actually take part in the education experience by teaching their peers.

SOPHOMORES You’re not a “kid” anymore 4A 3 Many strange and new experiences await the 95 sopho- mores. This particular year in a teenager’s life may well mark the beginning of that strange fascination with “wheels”. Driver’s training courses are available for those who can pass restrictions on age and health. And once a sophomore gets his license, he has opened the door to the world of dating. Driving, dating, and doing all those things that you look- ed forward to in the years when you were just a “kid”, mark this first step on the road to maturity.

Kent Percival, below, football team manager is eager to get to the game so he cops a lean and waits on the players to make their appearance. SOPHOMORES New requirements make it all harder A greater freedom to choose one’s own courses is a basic part of the sophomore year. However, this greater freedom means that students must now begin to make decisions about their priorities in life. Just what do you want to be? It makes a difference in the courses that you should take in the remaining years of high school. New requirements at Millwood will mean that all sophomores will need a credit in physical education and two credits in science for graduation. This year’s 100 sophomores may have it a little tougher than those that went before. SOPHOMORE CLASS officers are as follows: Front row, Larita Laviolette, secretary?

Freshmen. Though the sophomores may beat them out in yelling at pep assemblies and the juniors and seniors may push them out of line at the snack bar, the ninth graders have adjusted and survived quite well in high school life. It didn’t take them long to discover that eating at A W is a lot more fun than at the cafeteria, and getting a ride home with upperclassmen is cooler than riding the bus. But the 100 freshmen also learned that algebra is a lot hard- er than math, and term papers, unlike reports, have foot- notes and bibliographies. But the youngest members of the high school have one thing over their elders-a fresh start, a new beginning, to make it all happen. of learning going on 1 1 HO DRIVING the ninth grade float entry in the homecoming parade.

You know you’re an eighth grader when there really are kids younger than you in the halls. You know that you’re an eighth grader when the excuse of “I couldn’t find the classroom” won’t fool the teachers any more. TARA WILLIAMS, above, just looks too cool to be true in her rather confusing eye attire. Below, Mr. Jerry Logan and Miss Aurilla Walls await the arrival of enrolling eighth graders. But you really know that you're an eighth grader when your mother says, “You’re in the eighth grade and you didn’t know that?” And you’re sure she says that every year.

EIGHTH GRADE You just don’t dare fiddle with the middle This year has been something else. What more can I say? Lots. I mean, we’ve become used to changing classes, the new activities, and yet, we’ve still got to get prepared to become freshmen. Pretty soon, all these classes are going to count toward graduation. We aren’t the new ones, and yet, we aren’t the big shots either. I guess you could say that we’re in the “middle”. Where ever we fall, we can’t help but make an impression because this is the largest eighth grade class ever and the largest class in the school, all 119 of us. THE REST of the class may ham it up and mug for the camera, but Kristi Russell gets it together, studying in class. 53 Mike Adams Anthony Andrews Eugenia Bates LaRhonda Bell Ronnie Berry Charles Boyles Byron Brannon Trudy Breshers Charles Burton Vernoil Cantley Byron Clark Paul Clewis Marcus Cochran Alfonso Cooper Donna Cooper Toylor Crawford Karyn Davis Danny Dean Fleshia Dean Michael Dean Michael Denson Ronald Douglas Tracey Edwards Lashun Ellis Michael Ford Derrick Galloway Stefani Gorelick Charlesetta Greene Stephanie Greene Brian Griggs Vanetta Harris Diana Higgs Greg Hollier Valencia Hollins David Howard David James Karen James Fumiko Johnson Mark Johnson Sherri Johnson Mark Knight Siera Laviolette David Love Walter Martin Lajuana Mayes Alison McCary Diane McKinley Lanette McMullen Deborah Montgomery Diana Montgomery Sharrel Moore Tina Moore Laverne Myers Sandra Patterson Mark Pitts Sonya Porter Darryl Provo Johnnie Reed Jennifer Rex Darra Richardson Robin Roberts Brian Robinson Jamie Sanford 54 Craig Sherrill Antwone Slaughter Billy Smith Ronnie Smith Yvette Sulcer Angela Thomas Myra Todd Sherri Tucker Tammie Tyler Patrice Washington Weldon Washington Carla Williams David Williams Michael Williams Nathan Wilson SEVENTH GRADE What’s a “rookie”? It seems like yesterday when we were the rulers of the play- ground. Now, well, we’re the “rookies”. It’s the end of ele- mentary and the beginning of junior high school. I mean.. . everything is so different. Did you know that the chorus room is 1000 miles from my English class? Yeah, and you’ve got five minutes to get from one class to another. 1 never knew it would be like this. They say we’re too old for recess, yet too young to go to Mc- Donald’s at lunch time. Do you know what we think? We think that the seventh grade is: “The beginning of junior high school,” commented Darryl Provo. “I like it because you get a choice of either eating at the snack bar or the lunch- room,” said Tammie Tyler. “I like it because you don’t have to walk in line,” says Dara Richardson, president of the sev- enth grade class. Byron Brannon feels that the seventh grade is fun because there are more activities to participate in. Whether it’s responsibility or just “new” lockers, the seventh grade has posed a challenge for the 83 energetic Falcons, a challenge which is just the beginning of something good! SEVENTH GRADE class officers, pictured above, are Craig Sherrill, treasurer; Tina Moore, secretary; Darra Richardson, president; Deborah Montgomery, vice-president; Mark Pitts, class representative. Left, stu- dents look as if they’re saying, “Yeah, I’m learning. What docs it look like?” 55 If you ever hear some- one say that there is nothing to do in school except work and study, they are wrong. There is an organization for everyone—from the Chess Club for the in- tellectual to the Spirit Club for the enthusi- astic, from the Science Club for those who are searching for the new and mysterious to the Drama Club for all the hams from yearbook and newspaper for the literary to music and band for the musically inclined. Organizations are a big part of school because they help the school and the student. Some extracurricular activities are the incentive that gets students up and off to school on time... well, almost on time. ORGANIZATIONS Up until February of this year, activity per- iods were scheduled during regular class days for clubs to meet during the school hours. Now, activity periods are held on Tuesday's and a special bus is pro- vided to return students to their homes after club meetings. For the first time, or- ganizations were charg- ed for space in the year- book. The staff is sorry for this rather desper- ate economic measure, but we were glad to see the number of or- ganizations which helped us present this section of the yearbook. offer something for everyone 57 CONCERT, STAGE DANDS After football season ends, the band devotes its time to contest music. Some of the contest performances were at Central State University and Oklahoma City Univer- sity. These were district contests attended by the high school band during the third quarter. The Junior High Concert Band also attended various contests, such as the district contests at Moore. Any football player who wishes to, may join the band during the concert season. Basketball players are allowed to participate in the band during the season. Over 75 percent of the band members were on the Principal's Honor Roll. This year there were six grad- uating seniors and next year there should be from 20 to 30 more seventh graders added to increase the size beyond this year's 150 members. Senior High Band officers are: FRONT ROW, Charles Williams, sergeant- at-arms; Janice Harper, secretary; Toni Brannon, president; Tori Rich- ardson, treasurer; Sheila Washington, sergeant-at-arms.

BACK ROW, Mr. Edgar J. Scott, Darnell Johnson, Larry Ponder, Kenneth Peoples, Tony Harrison, Charles Williams. 58 pQfticipQteincontestsand concerts The band also took part in the 89ers Day Parade'' in Guthrie. This has become a tra- ditional exercise for the band. They also played in the spring concert and for the com- mencement exercises. An important addition to the band's world was the move to the new band room, equip- ped with three practice rooms, a room for stage band, two restrooms, two instrument storage rooms, drum storage, uniform stor- age and an office for the band director, Mr. Edgar Scott. The Band Boosters, who helped the band with financial problems, raised money by raffling off an AM-FM radio and Citizen's Band radio. The organization also participa ted in other fund-raising activities, such as calendar sales and the selling of newspaper and cans for re-cycling. Vice-President-Joel Anderson takes time before Stage Band practice to run through his music. 59 MARCHING BAND'S beat goes on and on The Mighty Falcon Band got down to some get down sounds. Members got on the good foot with some too cold added dance steps to liven up their already together routine. They were known to be the pride of the east side and they lived up to that fame. Band consisted of 150 students led by band dir- ector, Mr. Edgar J. Scott. Marching Band performed on the field at every football game of the regular season, and then they went on into the playoffs, being faithful to the team and fans. This involved lots of hard work and practices after school every day until the football games were completed. Marching Band is made up of junior and senior high students. To get into the Marching Band, you must know how to play an instrument, be willing to give the time from some of your other activities and obey the rules of the band. We talked to some Falcon fans and they had some very good comments about the band. Theresa Nelson said, 'The band is a very productive band, as a whole, and has progressed in their field and style of marching ' Toni Brannon said, It felt good, going to a game, and knowing that you would get to take part in the activities also. Jackie Morgan commented that it was good to know you would always be able to see the Marching Falcons perform and you always got what you expected from them. Millwood's band performed at all their home games and also at away games, although most other bands usually just marched on the home field. Not only does the band show up to give the football team its support at halftime, but several members also join together to send-off the Fal- cons with a strong and steady beat. Drum majors, Tony Harrison and Charmaine Johnson are two of a kind during marching per- formances, as they both lead the band. BELOW, Mr. Edgar Scott climbs up high for a good look at both the band and the action on the field at an early football game. In the background, several band members look on.

Choraleers is a select group, chosen by auditions, which utilizes dance routines along with more dif- ficult musical arrangements. The group performed for many school occasions, the National Parents Association at the Skirvin Hotel, social groups, churches and other schools. Group members also participated in contests and scholarship competi- tions. It takes a lot of hard work and time for the Choraleer members to get their show together. This performance was for the All-School Appreciaiton Dinner. The Choraleer members are: SEATED, Jane Cotton and Jo- etta Williams.

Preparing themselves for the Senior High Choirs is the main purpose of the seventh and eighth grade choirs, according to Mrs. Wanda Pollard, music director. They study the basic components of vocal music—a little theory, a little reading, and a little singing. Both junior high groups have performed in the Christmas concert, Good News World , the Spring Concert and attended the Fine Arts Festival along with the Senior High Mixed Choir and the Choraleers. Senior High Mixed Choir members are older and more experienced than the junior high groups. Their music is more complicated and difficult. They performed at Open House and other school assemblies and state contests. 64 Eighth Grade Choir members are: FRONT ROW, Marcelle Sattiewhite, Kitty Hayes, Marc Ford, Tommy Frazier, John Bush, Anthony Johnson, Gail Edwards, Danielle Jackson, Kari Anderson.

The motto, Work before plea- sure fits well for these girls. Majorettes marched with the Band at all the foot- ball games and in all the parades. At each event, they added a new kick to their performance. When asked what were the two major things they think about when performing, they all agreed that it was to keep smiling and not to drop your baton. Ap- parently, holding those thoughts works because in 20 degree below zero weather they kept on smil- ing and didn't drop the baton.

The club cleaned out and stocked dressing rooms behind the stage early in the year. They also went to state contests and put on a play for the students at all levels. Plans included bicentennial plays and learning the art of make-up. The group performed the play, Let Me Out of Here!

The club is for students who wish to learn cooking, sewing and many other useful skills. While the FHA learned, they combined fun with their learning. They started out the year with an initiation for the club. In January, they had a cake decorating demonstration done by Linnie Guess. In March they had a fashion show at Kathryn Lipes with Millwood students modeling the clothes. Another activity was a bake sale. Finally, in April, they had an Easter project. Both fun and practical activities were scheduled for FHA meetings. At this one, the group studied the art of cake decorating.

The purpose is to learn more about the business world and render service to teachers who need typing work done. They explored advertising by posting bul- letins about their service that said ''Don't write, let the business club type.

Q) O u O D The Science Club has a new sponsor, Mr. James Ramey, the head of the science de- partment. Mr. Ramey started things out with a bang, by having a car smash to raise money for the club. The green house was another place for fund raising activi- ties. Various house plants were grown there to raise money. The ju installed i with given ecutive officers. It was very well planned and a formal event. Again the science club spon- sored the science fair. About twenty projects were judged, their topics ranging from rth science to outer space, jects were judged on and how they were presented. There were five ries and first, second, third place awards. Mr. Ramey hopes next year is even bigger and better. Senior science club officers are: William Hudson, treas- urer; Theresa Nelson, community project director; Yvette Gissandaner, secretary; Alva Brown, vice-president. Not shown are: Melvin Lewis, bulletin editor; Sally Allen, president; Shelia Moore, project director. The Junior High Club decided they'd come clean by having a car wash to raise money. The car wash was a true success stated one member, We really cleaned up. But it's not all work either. For fun and relaxation they had a skat- ing party. This proved to be a test of coordination and courage. For the adventurous at heart, a trip was planned to Camp Classen. Hiking, swimming, and canoeing were the main events. The Junior High Science Club has grown in number to fifty-seven, one of the largest numbers in the history of the club.

James Smith, William Dunlap, Peretha Grundy, Shari Smith, David Boggs. u O C Yearbook staff attended workshops and looked through many magazines and books for ideas to make each section unique. Because the majority of the staff had no experience in yearbook, Mrs. Sandra Effinger and editors, Theresa Nelson and Toni Brannon, had to show new members how to crop pic- tures, draw layouts and write copy and headlines. Before each deadline you could usually find the year- book staff at school until ten o'clock at night, making sure everything was ready. Sharri Smith puts in extra hours. Jackie Morgan and co-editor Toni Brannon seem to be in disagreement, while Linda Coleman and Barbara Hubinger go on about their business. Once Get Down was finish ed they studied photography, and learned how to take, de- velop and print their own pictures. That sounds like all work and no play, but the truth of it was that yearbook work is an on-again, off-again job. At sometimes, yearbook hour was a time of leisure, laziness, cokes and rap sessions. Staff members paid for their free- doms and privileges with those late night sessions. Co-editor Theresa Nelson appears to have thought up another catchy caption. 72 The Jorunalism I class followed a new program this year. First semes- ter they studied writing skills, photography, copyreading and proofreading, and second semester they put their knowledge to work and produced the newspaper. Their articles and photographs were not only featured in our school pa- per, but also in two local newspa- pers, the Oklahoma Journal and the Black Dispatch. Newspaper members are: FRONT ROW, Cheryl Liverpool, David Boggs, Linnie Guess, Yanai Lott, Kathy Johnson, Don Willis.

Mrs. Sandra Effinger taught journ- alism and advised the newspaper. Linnie Guess was editor with three section editors, William Dunlap, sports editor; David Boggs, news editor; and James Smith, Feature editor. The size and format of the newspaper changed to a magazine style. Some of the additions were a question and answer column where where students' editorials were an- swered by Mr. Edwards, puzzles, cartoons and student contests. The staff did everything involved in producing a newspaper, from deve- loping and printing pictures, to paste-up and running the presses. William Dunlap, Yanai Lott, Denise Mewborn, James Smith and Linnie Guess discuss newspaper business. Everything stops when that vital tool ot journalism-the Editor Linnie Guess sorts through pictures, blue pencil—is dropped.

Chess Club consists of seventh through twelth graders who are interested in learning to play chess or who already know how and just want to play for fun and competition. The experienced students taught those who didn't know chess, how to play. They met three times a month and competed against other schools a few times. Victory Scott works on improving his chess game during one meeting. CHESS CLUD develops gome skills LIBRARY CLUB studies books The Library Club consists of se- venth and eighth graders who en- joy reading as a hobby. Their ac- tivities included field trips and meeting for luncheons during the junior high lunch period. One of the major projects of the club was a trip to the Central State Uni- versity Library.

The Letterman Club is an organi- zation of athletics in different sports who have earned their letters. They sold hot dogs and had other fund raising projects for a trip. All members have to go through an ini- tiation process ceremony. Last year they had to slide chest down on ice in their shorts only. This year was even worse because the slide in- cluded a dip under running barber shears. LETTERMEN really earn membership BLACK STUDENT UNION changes rules Black Student Union meets the third week of every month. The dues are four dol- lars a year. The club rules have been changed this year. For the first time, the Black Student Union has accepted the ninth grade class members through twelth grade. Also for for the first time the members are not required to take black history. The BSU threw a so- cial for the football state fin- als game on the following Sat- urday night as a fund-raising activity. The club consists of 45 members.

The goals are to add a little extra to the performances at half time and pep assemblies. To become a member of the Drill Team, students had to fill out forms to be completed by teachers and administration. Miss Aurilla Walls, staff member, and Mrs. Merline Hawkins, a faithful patron, were the sponsors.

Spirit Club gained a new name and largest membership of Millwood's history. The basis for selection of members were different types which caused much havoc. Contests included finding the strongest and bravest Falcon and, of course, seeing who had the most spirit and determination to support the Fal- con athletics. One of the reasons for the club's spirit at the game was the enjoyable rides. It was not only a ride but also a party. There was eating, the enjoyment of music, singing, social- izing and even getting to know someone else better. This is one of the reasons for the togetherness that helped us stick together in time of need at the games, but the Spirit lead us through, one member said. Angie Thomas concentrates on her poster designs while others enjoy the afternoon basketball game. Denise Jackson and Barbara Hubinger spend a little time after school making signs for the Bobcat game. CHEERLEADERS remember lid, Alright! when we had a pep assembly and realized we left our tights at home We said, Alright! when we were in the middle of a cheer and forgot the last part. We said, Alright! when we bought the football team popsicles and they actually said thanks. We said, Alright! when instead of coming off the field flipping we came off with the 50-yard line on our sweaters We said, Alright! when the last game was over, the uniforms turned in, the pom-poms packed away, and we found a tear on our faces. We said, Alright! to many things, but especially to Millwood High School. We saY......... .j....... Alright! By Jackie Morgan Laureen Jones Jackie Morgan Avis Franklin Carolyn Hubinger Denise Jackson Danta Robinson the Spirit of '76 Aha! We've finally caught the cheerleaders doing something other than practicing. The questions is What are they doing? There are places other than the school gym or football field to cheer. One such place was the Fidelity National Bank. Let's move it team! Come on Falcons, you can do it! Alright! That's the way we like it! What is all of that? Why, it's some of the cheerlead- ers' battlecries. Yes, if you ever attended any of Mill- wood's games, you prob- ably noticed those six girls in blue and white, yell- ing from the top of each other's shoulders. Many people don't take the cheerleaders seriously. But when various people were asked of their opin- ion of cheerleaders, com- ments were like the follow- ing: I feel the cheerlead- ers are necessary because the players need someone they know will yell for them, said Sylvester Car- bajal. The game would go on without them, but what kind of game would it be? No doubt a dull and dreary one. When we see those girls cheering in their blue and white, they all look dy-no-mite! said Joe Etta Williams. But the best statement was made when the cheerlead- ers were asked how they felt about these two com- ments and said, That's the way we like it. SPORTS adds to school life, builds spirit It's old and it's cliche that it's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. At Mill- wood, that how is a vital ingredient of sports competition. There is something very moving about the football team's run across the field to shake hands with opponents before AND after a game, win or lose. That's sportsmanship. There is also something very gratifying in the many letters received from coaches and principals of teams we have played, stating that they have enjoyed the event, win or lose. That's also sportsmanship. Of course, it never hurts to win, and one thing the Falcons will remember from this year was the ex- cellence that began September 5, when a padded and jerseyed Falcon put the football in the air for the first time before hundreds of fans. The end re- sult was Millwood finishing its regular season as the only undefeated team in the state in all class- ifications and placing second in the state playoffs. Basketball season rolled around and the team proved its abilities by winning all its conference games. They had a new coach but the word was the same, Win! We can't overlook baseball, an- other sport in which victory was the goal. Spring sports such as golf and track were also further de- velopments lending pride and the word was the same, Win! The main thing about all of these sports was the fact that everyone was involved. The teams played the games, but it was the crowd, along with the cheerleaders. Spirit Club, Band and Drill Team, who boosted the popularity of sports. But why did the fans yell the teams on, why did the teams even play? you might ask. These ques- tions may be easily answered, We liked it! And, yes, we all learned the value of that old cliche, win or lose, and that's sportsmanship. 81 Falcons win fans' attention Practice, over, over and over again during the '76 season was always painful, but joyful when games are won on Friday night. Practices during cold weather were very hard and hurt- ing to the hands and feet because of the temperature. Warm weather practices were as long and just as hard as winter ones ever were. Some of the exercises included jumping jacks, leg stretching and running laps around the football field. Getting close to the end of practice, the Falcons might some days see a few of their Falcon fans bringing Kool- Tony Adams (81) catches a mid-air pass during one play of the Homecoming game Aid, cookies, etc. Then the Mighty Falcons began liking ®9a,nst the Bethany Bronchos, the end of a hard day of practice.

Practice, practice and more practice played an important part in Millwood's state runner-up title and regular season record as the only undefeated team in the state in all classifications. The early part of the season was keyed for those state playoffs. Millwood sailed past Star Spencer, 24-0, with Don Willis making two touchdowns. William Dun- lap blocked a punt out of the end zone for a safety and then Keith Warrior scored the third touchdown. The one-two punch of Brian Jackson and Don Willis, scoring three touchdowns each, downed the Northeast Vikings, 34-6. The team then handed the Heritage Hall Chargers a 57-0 defeat. In the St. Mary's game, Jackson and Joe Carter scored three touchdowns each, while Willis made two. Warrior completed a 38-yard field goal. Perhaps one of the proudest and most exciting moments of the season was the last minute victory against traditional rivals, the Stroud Tigers, 14-13. This was followed by two games in which the opponents failed to score, McCloud and Jones. Outstanding honors in the games went to Steve Kindle, Brian Jackson, Don Willis, Cary Noiel and Mike Berry. The next defeat fell to Guthrie.

The team then posted a 26-14 homecoming win over the Bethany Broncos. Brian Jackson powered a Falcon win ov- er Konowa, 26-6. Don Willis was an im- portant scorer in the Fox win, 23-0. Fal- cons then turned Davis's Cinderella season into a pumpkin as the Davis team was trounced, 28-0, in a Class A quarter- final game. Falcons raced past Cordell, 34-12, in the semi-final game. This win- ning streak led Millwood to the state fin- als game for the second year in a row, but ended in a Beggs victory, 0-21. Although that loss to Beggs was a sad and painful conclusion to the '75 season. Mill- wood, nonetheless, completed the season with the best overall record in the state, an undefeated regular season in confer- ence play, and the un-precedented honor of playing in the state finals two years in a row. Falcon season brought many honors to players. In Little All-City competition, four players made the All-Star Team: Don Willis, Mike Berry, Frank Moore and Brian Jackson, with Keith Warrior receiv- ing an honorable mention as kicker. Berry made first team defense and Jackson made second team as halfback in All- Metro Honors. All-Star Honors went to Berry with Jackson and Willis receiving honorable mentions. Black Dispatch All- Stars were Berry, Willis, Jackson, Kindle and Moore, with honorary titles going to Carter and Warrior. In All-District awards, the Falcons had six players place: Berry, Willis, Jackson, Kindle, Warrior and Ricky Hunt. Coach Leodies Robinson won Coach of the year, Mike Berry won De- fensive Player of the Year and Don Wil- lis took Offensive Player of the Year in All-District competition. 85 Ronald Clemmons (14) attempts to stop a shot taken by a Douglas Trojan at the Mc- Guinness tournament.

B-ballers win district games Basketball varsity team had an outstand- ing season with fifteen wins and only se- ven losses in conference play. Coach Eddie Evans, a basketball star himself, came to Millwood from a position on the University of Oklahoma coaching staff. The team employed many varied plays to achieve their conference record. A bal- anced floor attack by junior guards, Ron- ald Clemmons and Charles Scott, downed the Heritage Hall Chargers, 49-28, in their first meeting. With the football players still on the field, the rest of the Falcon basketballers proved themselves as they soundly whipped the Bethany Broncos, 54-40, to take a 2-0 Sooner Conference lead. They were also able to crush the rival Rockets of St. Mary's, 74-57, by dominating the boards and controlling the basketball most of the game. Junior center Frank Moore led all scorers with 23 points. After losing two straight games to other rival schools, confidence was raised again by a second defeat to St. Mary's, 71-60. The last home game was played against Boley with a 77-49 win. The team also won the District Tournament by defeating Jones and Harrah.

Spring sports stress individual fitness Track team had a very heavy schedule competing in meets at Ada, Carl Albert, Norman, Star Spencer, Bethany and fi- nally the Sooner Conference Meet. In the past, our team has been noted for sprinters and the 440 relay teams, and in order to keep up our state wide repu- tation of excellence, the members prac- ticed at least an hour and a half everyday. Our high school baseball team played a full schedule for the first time this year. The Falcon baseballers opened the season against John Marshall and played twenty games before district play. Coach George Wagner said their schedule was laden with 3A and 4A Teams to prepare the players for district. That time of the year has rolled around again when golf clubs and feet hit the grass. March 2 marked the beginning of the '76 golf season as the Falcons be- gan practicing at Lincoln Park. Paul Kime, William Dunlap, Clarence Davis and Kenneth Peoples make up the '76 team, but don't be fooled by the size of their group. They may be small, but they have the potential of a winning team. They started their official conference sea- son at the Purcell Golf Tournament April 16-17. There are some very real publishing diffi- culties in covering spring sports in the yearbook because of an early final dead- line, the end of February. The staff ex- presses its regrets that it is unable to cov- er these sports in greater depth. 93 Dancers move it! Modern Dance this year is really getting it together.

Mrs. Phyllis Richardson coached the girls, but due to the limited amount of practicing time and in- experience of the girls in playing together, the sea- son showed no wins. The team entered in the Edmond and County Tournaments, but was beat out in a double elimin- ation to Putman City and Norman. The team played Putman City West and McGuiness in the County Tournament at Putman City West. There was a scrimmage against McGuiness with a 6-6 tie.

Look closely and you might see yourself in action. Now, I see you must have found your- self because you're smiling. Right? What were you doing? Making a funny face or action? We do a lot of funny things, but we can also be serious. We are here for one main reason, to get an education. But, in the meantime, learning can be fun, you say? Our student organizations. Band, Chorus, and sports teams are an excellent example of fun and work. You learn to get along with your fellow students and to take direction and you get a thrill when you win something you worked hard for. School can be the most important turn- ing point in your life. Do you know why? These days can shape your future years, affecting earning power, maturity, lei- sure time hobbies, friendships and even romances.

An award is a medal, a pin, a trophy, a prize, or a certificate given to the honorees for them to stack with the memories of their achievements in high school. Only those who care the most study the hardest, give with dedication and remember that the best may get beaten will receive honor and only those who fight the hardest, strive for excellence, and come out first in a race run by many will receive an award. For these people we give our attention. Student Advisory is a group of students selected by their classmates to meet with Principal Donald Edwards and discuss problems. Some of their sug- gestions were more lenient locker regulations and fewer variations for club meetings and pep assem- blies. Junior and Senior Student Councils, both elective offices, merged to form one organization. Christ- mas the group sponsored a canned goods drive.

This is the first year that I have been an advisor and I don't think I shall ever be prouder of any book I am as- sociated with. As you progress through the book you can see the progress of the journalism department on each suc- ceeding page. Oh, there are many mistakes and errors in this book—messy pictures, unfocused or scratched negatives, misspelled words and incorrect names. But there is at least one thing that is very right about this book—it is almost entirely a student product. I began with a staff that knew very, very little about layout and design, but had the imagination and the creativity to try some ideas which are radically dif- ferent from any of their books in the past. We had no dark- room or photographers, but we have a very good darkroom now and four excellent photographers. We also had finan- cial difficulties which were somewhat relieved by the sup- port of student and patron organizations which purchased pages in our book. As an advisor and as a staff, we have several people we wish to thank. . . Maya Borker, French foreign exchange student, who de- signed our cover. . .Vard Smith for our end sheets and title page designs. . .Cynthia Patterson for her drawings used throughout the book. . Mrs. Phyllis Richardson for the use of her camera and her expertise on much of the photo- graphy, sports in particular. . .Superintendent L.W. Good for his assistance in acquiring and stocking the darkroom . . .Principal Donald M. Edwards and Assistant Principal Charles Greene for their patience and cooperation with class schedule interruptions, picture-taking and a few advisor temper tantrums and tears. . .all the teachers for their gra- ciousness when classes were interrupted for pictures or the kidnapping of staff members during deadlines. . .my Eng- lish and journalism classes for patience with me during deadlines. . .Yvette Gissandaner and Debbie Hayes, who were not staff members, but who assisted us with copy- writing. . .Vard Smith for the loan of his typewriters at crucial moments. . .Mr. Ray Jacoby, professional photog- rapher, and the Band Boosters for the use of group pictures of Band, Football, etc. . .Mel Newsome Associates for their assistance on group shots of other organizations and indi- vidual shots. . .Walsworth Publishing, former publishers of this yearbook for the continued loan of a camera. . .Herff Jones publishers for the publishing of the book, patience with late deadlines and the loan of another camera. . .and finally, my husband, Mr. Sam Effinger, for his assistance on our last deadline. Sincerely, Mrs. Sandra Effinger Advisor.
