ONE IN A MILLION Each Millwood person is unique . . . special. . . “one in a million.” These 640 special people attend a small independent school with .30 teachers and -3d classrooms. And even though the Average Daily Attendance has decreased the last few years, we have been expanding. No bond issue has ever been denied and new constructions have included a band building, junior high complex and football stadium. MI IS may seem like a small school, but d operates on a budget of over $1,000,(XM). Yet within this million-dollar enterprise, each and every student receives individual attention . . . each and every student is “one in a million.” Table of Contents Opening....................................

Eastern Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73111 One in a Million A class with only four other students? Office suspension? Tutoring program? Eighth grade proficiency test? MHS is “one in a million” in several ways. Could you imagine vourself in a class with only four other stu- dents? Or two others? Yet small classes, seldom exceed- ing 25, are common at our school. We were the first in the state to adopt minimal com- petency standards as a requirement. We also have a ‘ killer” proficiency test in English that all eighth grad- ers take. All these tests must lx? doing some good because one of us scored in the top 10% of all black students taking the PSAT test. We also like to keep our students in school. When a disciplinary problem arises, instead of being sent home, they lock you up in a room with a bunch of other “bad” kids and make you do school work all day. Also we have the new Tutoring Program which uses members of the National Honor Society. These students spare an hour out of their busy schedules to help others. Because of the high aca- demic standards, more than 80% of each graduating class go to college and one third receive some scholarship assistance. Gazing into the library display case is Marc Patmon. 2 After school, Michcal Adams pops a wheelie, on the old practice field. Outdoors in the sun is the favorite place to eat lunch for Theresa Carter, Regina Riggs. Tonya Williams, and Jessica McClelland. The librarian, Ms. Barbara Hunteman, assist Robin Roberts with an assignment. After school, Leo Mucker. Mike Harrison and Curtis Dowdy can be found cleaning up the halls any day of the week. 3 One in a Million Computers called Apple II? Influential Patrons? The football team has gone to the play-offs every year since we have been a high school, seven to be exact. They were state run- ners-up twice. Our basketball team has been class 2A state champi- ons two consecutive times. This can only be attributed to those many hours of jump- ing to touch the sixth row of bricks above the tile in the gym. The students and faculty at MHS have a variety of influential relatives within the community. These include a state senator, several state representatives, a city councilman, a newspa- per publisher, a fire chief, a judge, a police captain, researchers, high-ranking FAA and Tinker Field AFB Think quick ' is what Johnnie Williams apparently not only does on the field hut in the class-’ room. 'What’s the answer to number one, whis- pers Brian Jones to Donnie Simms. 4 5 One in a Million New facilities include stadium, east campus, band room, parking lot. administrators, the former highest ranking black in city government, the daughter of the first black student at Oklahoma University, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, doctors, lawyers, nurses, and business entrepreneurs, such as office supply, oil, restaurants, clothing stores, and nurser- ies. Yes, we believe we’re truly “one in a million.” Physics students don't seem to lie excited about their assignment, but one seems to downright disapprove. Happiness is apiece of Church’s chick- en.” says Lonnie 3mith. 6 Attention! Band practice after school hits the memliers standing at still, all except the one with the itch. Did you get the answer to number 6? Marlon Johnson asks Kenny Crawford, while Sharon Booker studies her lm� k in History. N Ecch!,” says Reba Post while dissecting a pig in Biology II. Creasin' on Mr. Scales cake birthday, is Ms. Daisy Franklin. 7 i I Campus Life We're one “Yes, Yes, Yes! Your personal biography will appear in this year’s yearbook. We want to know about you so we can write that biogra- phy. Please fill in the following questions. This appeared at the top of the sheets that each student at MHS was required to fill out in order to have his biography appear in the yearbook. Questions asked incluoed favorites, clubs, hobbies, your one wish in life, how you would spend your last day on earth and the most important thing about you others should know. The biased opinion of the yearbook staff was the whole idea of biograpnies was about in a million as much trouble as they were worth. The staff distributed and redistributed the papers, they typed and retyped the biographies, and retyped and edited and retyped. From this it was learned that MHS has an outstanding variety of individuals, although many of them have the same likes and dis- likes. Most junior high students like math, blue, “Good Times,” and chicken. But when they progress a little more, they’ll have more sophisticated favorites such as history, “The Jeffersons,” “Soap,” and pizza, which belong to the majority of senior high students. “The rule I hate most at Millwood is no excused admit unless you attend your own funeral,” says Jenell Noiel. “If I could be principal for one day, I would put all the teachers in in-house suspension,” says Gayetta Lawrence. “If I had only one day to live, I would spend it resting,” says Ronald Douglas. “The most important thing I want other people to know about me is that I’m here and would make the best friend around,” says Donna Cooper. “If I could have one wish come true, I would wish that I had $100,800,(XX),000,” says Rodney Smith. “When I finish school, I would like to be a nurse because I like to operate on people,” says Debra Davis. “The funniest thing I’ve ever seen at Millwood was ugly people talking about other ugly people,” says Sue Hollins. “If I could be principal for one day I woidd expel everybody,” says Marvinette Brannon. Campus Lite It's a tradition... Well, of course, everyone goes to the football and bas- ketball games not only because it is fun and socia- ble, but it is also the “in” thing to do. And after the games, everyone knows where we all go when we mark up another victory on the scoreboard. It’s a tradition that lets you know when school and football season have offi- cially started. If you were to ask an average black high school student where his first stop after the football game on a Friday night would be, he could sum it up in a word, “McDonalds. The McDonald’s Corpora- tion not only serves over 25 billion people all over the world but tne store on Lin- coln Boulevard serves approximately 1500 teenag- ers every Friday night after the games during football and basketball seasons. Park- ing lots are so jammed that motorists use the vacant lot next door. Once inside, you find that there is standing room only because there are almost as many people inside as there are out. Shout, shout, shout it out! The Spirit Club makes its presence known. Power and spirit is exerted as the Falcon team runs onto the field. One, two, one, two, the defense warms up before the game. 10 Front parking lot is now less congested with completion of new lot by east campus building. Although school year began smoothly, some consternation is evident in Mr. James McGuire’s puzzled pose and junior expres- sions during ring ordering. Strange expressions are also quite common in classrooms as well as class meetings. 12 Campus Life Smooth start “I keep expecting some- one to come running into my office to tell me that every- thing has broken loose. It just seems that everything has gone so quietly ana smoothly this year that it is all hard to accept,” said Principal Jimmy Scales. Contributing to the smooth opening of school was the reduction in time spent on orientation proce- dures. Only two days of handbook study were neces- sary this year. In addition, assemblies, class and club meetings were postponed until the second month of school. “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christ- mas,” observe William Crawford, while toying with colorful senior homecoming decorations. Proposed plans for expansion are explained to tne school l)oard by Superintendent L. W. Good. 13 Campus Life Funny boards If you see someone walking down the hall carrying a rather funny-looking brown board about 8Vfe x 11 inches with cryptic num- bers painted on it in red, don’t fie surprised. This is not a new type of notebook, a strange ID card, or a recent development in fashion accessories. It’s the new school hall passes designed and produced jointly by Mr. Jerry Logan and Mr. Lonnie Thomas. Each classroom is assigned one and that room num- ber appears on the board. The passes simplify hall pass procedures. You just don’t have a valid hall pass unless you have one of these awkward looking boards. Only one student can use the board at a time and if the board gets stolen, then that particular classroom no longer has a valid hall pass. And of course, students caught without a “board in the hall may get acquainted with the more tra- ditional BOARDS!! associated with hall-walkers and talkers. Helping out with concession stand duties are Tony Herrod and Randy Powell, year- book staff memlters. Posters brighten the sophomore English classroom of new teacher Ms. Cathy Cox. Studying and snoozing are library activi- ties. Talking and treats are part of a trip to the local DQ for Lynn Harding and Robin Cubit. 14 New Coke machine is an immediate favor- ite with junior high lunch people. Advanced science classes obviously require advanced concentration. Lunch hours are lonely for some. Print room work goes on under the supervi- sion of Ms. Marge Humphries. Messiness of others is also a problem of snack bar lunches. 15 Enjoying the fringe benefits of a journalism field trip are Gayetta Lawrence, Vickie Tappan and Marc Patmon. A different kind of “cheating” in class is demonstrated by Verneva Jones who sneaks an early lunch during lecture. Office suspension is obviously all work and no play for senior Mike Willis. Campus Life Stiff stuff for small school While some schools have sof- tened graduation requirements, MHS has stiffened its require- ments. Students must take four years of English with no substitu- tions of other language arts classes for the fourth year. In addition, they must take two years of math- ematics, two years of science (one of which must be biology), and three years of social studies! To encourage enrollment in the more rigorous courses, the school board approved a new weighted” system for grade averaging which will lie used this year. Tnis system makes allowances for the increased difficulty of such courses as advanced languages, economics, physics, chemistry and Math IV. In what other small public. school could you find yourself reading The Canterbury Tales in Middle English, solving math problems on a computer, reading Plato and Socrates, solving advanced problems in motion and acceleration, and working out sup- ply and demand charts. For students with interests in vocational training, MHS even pays their costs at Foster Estes Vocational School and provides transportation in a brand new mini-bus.

I mm If someone told you they were going to take a sharp needle and stab it straight through your ear lobe, ripping your tender skin and muscles, gushing and tearing vour veins to shreds, making your blood stream down your neck, would you let them do it? Well, approximately 265 young ladies at MHS went through this frightening and painful ordeal. There are several methods in which people pierce their ears. The old fashioned way is to first numb the ear with clothes pins, then stab it with a sterilized nee- dle. Self-piercing earrings press into the lobe until it makes a hole in the ear. Shopping centers often feature an ear piercing booth where a staple type gun is used, which shoots the earring through the lobe. The same kina of gun is used at most doctor’s offices. Ear piercing is not just limited to the young ladies anymore. It is very fashionable for young men to have their ears pierced too, usually just one ear though. Two or three noles in both ears are very popular also. Most double holes are worn with a gold post on a diamond stud. Suffering through the torment of getting it done or the uncertain consequences of facing infection or keloids are the chances you take when you want to have fashiona- ble ears.

Senior activities are always quite varied and this year was cer- tainly no exception, this year, the senior class began fund-raising activities quite early since plans including partial financing of a senior trip to Houston in the spring. In order to assist seniors in financing the trip to Houston in May, it was necessary to maintain two accounts for senior funds, one to cover the trip costs and another to cover the basic $1300 needed merely to pay the basic costs of graduation. Of course, one activity was the usual doughnut sales. Tne senior class, however, also sponsored a dance that followed homecoming and was held at the Homebuilder s Association. A breakfast was also sponsored which was to follow the dance and which was held at Sam- bo’s. These activities were neces- sary to help defray the $168 per student cost of the proposed trip.

Seniors 57 ACADEMICS We're one For the first time, classes were evaluated by the teachers, students, counselors, and school board members and categorized by academic weight. This meant that memoriz- ing sagittal sutre, discussing Plato’s Republic, and solving simultaneous equations with inverse trigonometric functions (category 3 classes) were worth more than operant condi- tioning your role model, setting copy in 8 pt. solid Caledonia justified flush left, and trans- in a million posing C concert pitch Beethoven into G double flat major (category 2 classes) or sew- ing the inside back front seam with the stitch gage set on 12, running the 440 in 20 seconds and remembering which direction to turn the wheel while parking on an uphill slope with- out a curb (category 1 classes). (One might think that writing such a well-structured Baconian sentence like the preceding one would be classified as category 4.) “The worst thing about Millwood is the Student Guide,’says Charles Sulcer. “The best thing about Millwood is the nosey people,” says Joi Polk. “The difference between the schools now and when I was in school is that the students had more respect for the teachers,” says Mrs. Factory. “The best thing about Millwood is Mrs. Eaves saying she willleave the room if we continue to talk,” says Gemala Savaiinea. “The hardest thing about Mrs. Effinger’s class is Mrs. Effinger,” says Jeff St. Aubin. “The only difference between Ms. Sanders class and Mrs. Effinger’s class is the way they draw the “F’s” on your paper,” says Gena Hodge. This is what Lynne Turner thinks about TABOO, )_ @@@° )1. “The hardest thing about Mrs. Effinger’s class is watchingher make those hideous faces,” says Ricky Baker. FIRE! Where Were You When The Fire Started? Giving his comments on the fire is L. W. Good. “The children thought it was a fire drill,” said Mr. Jack Jones, the principal of the elementary divi- sion. On one windy Monday, December 14th, at approximately 1:30 p.m., a fire started in the old rock building in room 127. Mrs. Mary Langley, a fourth grade instructor, first sighted the fire. Her 22 pupils had been com- plaining about the room being unusually warm. In an attempt to cool the room, Mrs. Langley opened the door. When she opened the window, smoke poured down the walls into the room. She immediately evacuated the children and reported the fire to the elementary office. Mr. Jones sounded the fire alarm while Mrs. Brown called the fire department. Grades K-4 were instructed to go to the front of the building, while the fifth and sixth grade classes went to the back playground where head counts were taken. Mrs. Hubinger’s 22 fifth graders were forced to climb a ladder to safety because of a door which was chained to protect the children from the foot deep water outside. The ladder was specifically placed there as an alternate fire escape. Eleven fire units had arrived and 42 firefighters liegan taking measures to eliminate the two alarm fire. It was later discovered that the fire had started in Mrs. Langley’s coat closet because of electrical disorders. The rooms of Mrs. Langley and Mrs. Owens were completely demolished. Other rooms suffered smoke and water damages. The school board has passed an emergency bond issue which requests the construc- tion of a new elementary building. Presently, the seven classes have Ireen moved to occupy rooms in the newer elementary section and the high school section. The change caused confusion among the high school students when they found elementary students in their regular classrooms. Some teachers do not have the same room twice in one day. But until the new building is built, the ele- mentary and the high school will lie closer than ever. Firemen spray water into the homing building. Firemen straighten hose in preparation to enter the building. 60 ACADEMICS Unequalled Frustrations, Ditto Test Madness Nervous jitters get the l cst of Sharon Oguinn while she ami Sonya Ewing prepare Student Council speeches. Before the l� ell rang on the first clay of sc hool everyone in the hall was complaining that it was going to lie another boring year of Mrs. Factory’s constant police control, of Mr. McGuire’s enthusiastic chemistry classes, and more of Mrs. Effinger’s ditto-test madness. But, as usual, we were wrong. The Science Department must have Iteen planning all summer on how to “lay on the work,” hut make it interesting at the same time. Class projects and a science fair solved this. But the science teachers weren’t the only ones plotting. The English Department had a few educational ideas up their sleeves that even made Shakespeare fun to read. Students paid a fee to watch movies related to the classics they read. If the Puritans who came over on the Mayflower could have seen the Thanksgiving dramatization in Mrs. Fant s reading class, they would have gone hack to England. Controversy broke out when a group of instructors met for a teacher coalition,” otherwise known as the American Federa- tion of Teachers. Aside from the art classes set- ting tree hark on fire, explosions in the lab, trying to fill in 253 ques- tions in the Macbeth lxioklet, une- qualled frustration when Mrs. Carmthcrs takes a “jillion” points for not drawing a straight line in accounting, we concluded that it was your usual drab, Ixiring, “aca- demic” year. M1IS teachers. ■m i in the library studying. (Just kidding, Craig!) ADMINISTRATORS Mrs. Franklin warmly greets “Ah. the work of a superintendent is never done, smirks Mr. students in for counseling.

Principal Jimmy Scales, Assistant Principal, Char- lene Factory, Assistant Superin- tendent, Donald Edwards, and Superintendent L. W. Good. But the personnel find other things to do such as, Mr. Scales coming to an after-hours yearbook session, stealing the staff’s fried chicken. Or Dr. Edwards sending his first hour aide to purchase ciga- rettes. Or Mr. Good watching soap operas during working hours. Sometimes secretaries, Mrs. Ste- vens and Mrs. Watson, play hoo- key and do macrame. On some other occasions, you can catch Mrs. Spears and Mrs. Factory catching up on the current gossip. Let’s not forget about Mrs. Car- ruthers who likes to throw her “two cents” in. This proves that they are doing “a fine job.” Now lei's hurry and get out of the halls, people.” is Mr. Scales' favorite phrase between classes.

Changes to a more traditional curriculum required new expenses and over $1500 on supplemental novels. New eleventh and twelfth grade literature textbooks were also selected. New emphasis in compositions ranged from a simple paragraph with a topic sentence for seventh graders to a complete, concise term paper for seniors since approximately 77% of our students go on to college.

Thirty students entered and Steve Clytus received first place; Kenneth Peoples, sec- ond place; and Donald Sewell, third place. New purchases included were science equipment such as glass- ware, carts, cats and pigs for dis- section, and slides for Biology II. “History courses are for know- ing the concepts and not just knowing the dates, ” according to the Social Studies Chairman, Mrs. Alberta Berry. To improve the Minimal Stand- ard scores, they bought kits for the individual students and also research lxx ks. The next step in improving the knowledge of these students was to get new books.

On the west end of the field, a mass of blue bodies is crowded into the end zone. The clear, crisp sound of snare drum clicks pierce your ears as the mass becomes five uniform lines. A fan- fare is played, the announcements are made, the drum majors blow a ready whistle, and the excitement begins. The whole stadium seems to turn into a “Disco Inferno” when the Band explodes with the propulsive sounds of their first tune. As the 136 member unit “Shake Dance” their way down the field, the crowd seems to feel that the average Friday night has turned into an exciting “Boogie Night . After several step-two, pinwheels, and cartwheels, the band “Get’s off” into a formation for “Dance, Dance, Dance” or “I Like Girls. Next the traditional “M” is made and fight song “Let’s Win This Game” is played. When the brass and woodwinds have marched off the fields, the percussion section stays to con- clude the show with one of their dynamic routines. As the band marches into the stands, their vic- tory call Hey Hey Yo Yo Yo Funk Funk” is heard. After jamming on the field, the Band members are ready for a jam of a different kind. This taxes place at the Home Builders Asso- ciation Building following all home football games. The parties are sponsored by the Band Boost- ers and are disc-jocked by Mr. Steve Fails. After football season, the Marching Band gives up the demanding beat of Earth, Wind Fire for the delicate sounds of Bach and Beethoven when they become the Concert Band. During the spring months, the Junior High Band attends district contest at Midwest City and Moore Junior High Schools, the Senior High Band at Central State University and Edmond High School. Other Band activities included articipating in Northeast High chool homecoming parade, Lang- ston at the Grambling game, and a small group of Band members ser- enading tne Wildewood, Park Estates, and Wildewood Hills areas with Christmas Carols. An extremely important part of the Band is the Band Boosters. They sponsored the weekly dances, a side of beef raffle, and soda pop sales. The boosters sup- port the Band, not only financially out morally also. They serve as chaperones on all school-spon- sored excursions.

The MIIS chapter consists of 10 members who meet sixth hour on Fridays. At these meetings, they type items for the faculty for a commission of 25c. Activities they participated in were a membership drive and a talent show. The FBLA enforces and expands the business curriculum by encouraging members to learn more alxmt tree enterprise and the business community. They also invited several business executives to speak and set up the business advisory councils for students at MIIS. ' Anyone who lives in a home is a homemaker, and this includes the men. “FHA is one of the most mis- understood clubs, said Ms. Pam Cummings, sponsor. Its purpose is not to teach people to cook, sew, and make the individuals better homemakers, but to develop potentials in individuals as well as the school, state and nation. FHA is a national organization with 66 members. Their project for this year is helping to prevent birth defects through education and fund raising. During the month of December, they hacl a workshop to teach stu- dents how to apply makeup, and ways to prevent sickle cell anemia. In February, their workshop included selecting careers and the buying and selling of cars, homes, furniture, etc. Above, FBLA members concentrate on new bind raising ideas; Br ims, the FBLA officer, are Front Ross, Barbara Langston, Ms. Connie Wilson, sponsor, Marvinette Brannon; Standing, Den- ise Richardson, Monica Younger.

What makes our cheerleaders a vital part of MHS? Their spirit, leadership, and devo- tion. Can you imagine rising from dead sleep at 3 o’clock a.m. to ghost football players’ cars and houses with paint and posters? Well, our cheerleaders did. Last summer the cheerleaders attended a training camp at OU. They learned new cheers, exer- cises, attended special classes, and won several awards. When not cheering, they are busy studying, trying to keep their grades up, because they don’t want to hear Mrs. Spears saying “if you don’t maintain a 3.0 average, you will be dropped.” Stop!! say Monica Younger and Verneva Jones as they cheer at a Falcon football game. Showing extreme excitement is Deborah Patterson at a football game. YEARBOOK STAFF Craaazy! During those 197 long tedious hours spent in room 134, 256 layouts were drawn, 649 biographies were typed, 20,430 pic- tures were taken, and 365, 789 words were written. Boring, huh? That’s your opinion. Many strange goings-on went on in that little room with the orange door. The night before Homecoming was an example. Gena and Marcelle were singing “Saw Ya With Your Boyfriend, Marc was explaining how the 5rigonosis of your mind can relinquish to the suave and Gay- etta and Larisa were writing stinksults on each others lockers when suddenly Carla’s bloodcurdling scream pierced all ears. Everybody sprang to their feet and ran into the hall. Standing before them was a 5-foot 10-and-one-half inch male person who was normal until you got to the face and then it looked like sometning the Body Snatchers left behind. Thank goodness it was only Rickv Baker in a mask. This was our first meeting with “Draper the Raper.” After the shock of seeing this unearthly creature wore off, the staff settled down to some more constructive activities. KAEZ started a “Guess the Artist Contest and Tony tried four times and still missed. Carla announced she was going back into the hole and Ricky continued reciting Mac- beth and doing Lovie imitations. About this time, certain cravings began to plague the nighttime populace of MHS and when that drive hits, it s time to drive to Jim Dandy’s, McDonald’s, Roy Rogers, Church's, Sonic, or Dairy Queen. This 3- hour process (1 hour to order the food, 1 hour to get the food, and 1 hour to eat the food) never failed to fail. No matter which of the fast food chains we went to, there was always some type of foul-up, whether it was missing chicken, disappearing ketchup, or an excessive amount of it (like the hag hill we got one time). About 3 a.m., Donald was found asleep at the typewriter and was put to bed in the counselors’ office. Meanwhile, Mrs. Effinger, Marcelle, Gena, and Larisa raided the Home Economics room, finding only Neopolitan ice cream and sunflower seeds. At 6:30 a.m. it was wake-up time, and Gena and Marcelle made sure all staff members knew it. These scenes were repeated over and over again every Monday, Tuesday, Wed- nesday. Thursday, Friday, and sometimes Saturdays of every week we were in school. Daydreaming about going home during one of our overnight stays is Lavout Editor Donald Sewell, and writer Marc Patmon. Instead of scaring Ricky Baker. Draper (alias writer Mark Patmon) makes Rickv laugh hysteri- cally. Hey look what I got,” yells Photographer Gayetta Lawrence during one of her frequent outbursts. Looking at Advisor Sandra Effinger red pencil her copy is Editor Larisa Humphrey. While in Norman, Oklahoma for an OIPA conference, Gena Hodge car- ries on an animated discussion with Writers Marcelle Sattiewhite and Tony Herrod. Exhibiting her talent for speed reading while checking stories during a dark room break is Photography Editor Carla Holmes. Scaring the dickens, bones, and hair out of Kim Hodge is Draper the Raper, our midnight monster.

SCIENCE CLUB, CAFETERIA Ecologists, Gourmands “Let’s go make a bomb! Naw, I don’t want to do that, let’s just mix some chemi- cals.” Really you probably won’t be doing any of this if you join the Science Club. They did go on an overnight field trip to a National Park for a nature study program and raised flowers and houseplants. They presented data on the energy crisis here to the School Board and suggested ways to save more energy. Officers for the Science Club are Presi- dent James Cooksey, Vice-President Mar- chita Masters, Secretary Jennifer Rex, Treasurer Carla Williams, and Sgts.-at: Arms Donald Lee and Ken Crawford. Sponsors are Mr. James McGuire and Mr. James Noel. The cafeteria is supposed to be a place to eat, but from 11:35 a.m. to 1:10 p.m. the cafeteria becomes a playground for some, eating place for some and a study hall for others. Monday’s and Tuesday’s lunch menus are a case of deja vu. Lunchtime can become very hazardous on chicken, cinna- mon roll or pizza day. When the lunch bell rings, the halls become Stampede Alley, the lines become very long and pushy, and the floors get very dirty. Which brings us to our Janitorial Techni- cians. Each day they must sweep and mop up the meat and potatoes lying on the floor. Besides picking up potatoes they drive busses and clean up our campus. They can also be called handy men. 89 SPORTS We're one Sports ... it can make you or break you. Most athletes have always had a dream of becoming a superstar. Consequently, while you are in high school, you practice hard to hopefully get a scholarship to the university of your choice. You attend every practice session. You run in the hot scorching sun and the below-freez- ing cold. You run up the bleachers and down Eastern Avenue. You get tackled extremely hard and elbowed in the ribs. You have in a million scratches, scars, and bruises all over your body. And you always sweat. Then the day before the big game, you play good Samaritan to a little girl whose cat ran up a tree. The cat is extremely high in the tree. You climb grad- ually up and up and up on a very weak branch. You slip and fall, landing with your arm twisted under your body. It s very stiff. It’s broken! You begin to think, “This could only happen to me. I must be one in a mil- lion.” “The most embarrassing moment for the basketball team was when they lost their homecoming to Northeast,” says Donna Denson. “The best thing about the boys’ basketball team is their record, considering the teams they play,” says Andrea Scruggs. When we asked Charmaine Johnson if Mrs. Spears would ever get the frowns off her face, she said, “No, because it was a permanent wrinkle.” “The problem with the team is that we have too many pretty boys,” says Anthony Breshers. “The difference between the boys’ and girls’ game is that the girls’ games are more interesting because there is so much more violence in them,” says Tony Herrod. “The girls should not be able to get new warm-ups, tennis, hats, etc, ” says David Love. “I can dig on spring sports, but I can’t dig on that hot sun,” says Lynne Turner. “I have never had an embarrassing moment on the court, not yet. . .”, says Shelia Tucker. FOOTBALL First time in 2A, Falcons Remembering last year’s 9-3 record and Quarter-Finals compe- tition, the team was thinking about going all the way. Returning 12 starters, and starting in a higher class (2A) with greater competi- tion things looked good for the team. First opponents were the Bob- cats of Star Spencer. On a hot and muggy night, Millwood received the nail and drove for a touch- down on sweep by Craig Sherrill. Later in the game with the Bob- cats throwing, Darrell Dean inter- cepted a pass and went in for a score, achieving the first victory for the Falcons, 14-0. Next, the Falcons entertained Northeast, and all anticipated a battle. But with a tough Falcon defense, it was a runaway victory, 28-7. Defending 2A State Champions, Seminole Chieftains were shut out all night and the Falcons easily won 28-0. Number 2 in State and Coach Leodies Robinson was named Times Prep Coach of the Week. The Little Giants” next tested powerful Southeast. Ronnie Woo- ten made the first touchdown on a 25-vard run. Eric Slaughter next intercepted a pass and scored the second touchdown. Southeast came back for two touchdowns to tie the score. But in the second half Wooten scored three times Millwood FOOTBALL 11-2 Opponent 14 Star Spencer 0 28 Northeast 7 27 Seminole 0 34 Southeast 22 35 Douglass 6 20 Kingfisher 6 21 Cushing 6 14 McGumness 17 54 Blackwell 6 41 Perry 6 21 Plavoffs Elk City 6 28 Bristow 8 1.3 Clinton 14 make it to semi-finals and the Falcons won, 34-22. Soul Bowl 111, against the Doug- lass Trojans was a Friday night battle to see who was going to lie pride of the Eastside. After a two hour delay, waiting for the lights to come on, the game was resche- duled for Saturday, with everyone admitted free. With the Falcons owning a 7-0 lead at halftime, the next day in a hot sun they got scores from Darrell Evans, Don McCary, Reggie Masters, and two Wooten scores, winning 35-6. Starting conference play, the first opponent was the Kingfisher Yellowjaekets. With Sophomore Craig Sherrill running for 154 yards, we easily won 20-8. 1. Come on.

In the second half, the Falcons scored but still trailed 17-14 as the Irish went on to win, giving Millwood their first defeat. After a hard defeat, Millwood hosted the Blackwell Vlarroons for our homecoming game. With 2,300 on hand, Millwood was unstoppable all night, winning by a walloping score of 54-6. The last regular season game was against the Perry Vlarroons which we easily won 41-6, assuring the Falcons a berth in the playoffs. The Falcons ended the regular season with a 10-1 record, and were entering the playoffs in 2A for the first time, and for the sixth straight year. Led bv a tough defense. Mill- wood entered tne first playoff game against the Flk City Elks. With two touchdowns by Don NleCary the Falcons ousted Elk City, 21-6. Thanksgiving weekend the quarter-final game was played in Bristow. Millwood easily thumped Bristow out of the playoffs, win- ning 28-8. Semi-Final game was against the Clinton Red Tornadoes. On their first possession, they went 41 yards on a scoring play, taking a 7- 0 lead. Late in tne first half, Mill- wood scored as the first half ended 7-7. Early in the second half, Clin- ton scored to take a 14-7 lead. But with 4:34 seconds left in the game, Johnnie Williams scored on a pass play. Millwood went for the two- point conversion, but fumbled the snap, giving Clinton a 14-13 vic- tory and eliminating Millwood from the playoffs. 1.

They were either completing door and hall decorations or merely roaming the halls. At 2:15 parents, alumni, friends, faculty and students began to occupy the gym. The coronation began with Dolly Turner and Sonya Ewing as hostesses. First the presen- tation of the class queens: seventh grade Joy Thurston escorted by Vince Moore; eighth grade Shelia Laskey escorted by Mario Simmons; freshman Kim Hodge escorted by Robbie Royal; sophomore Sonya Porter escorted by Mark Pitts; and junior Gena Hodge escorted by Frank Wil- son.

Finally the crowning of the Homecoming Queen: Run- ner-ups were Susan Booker escorted bv Jeff St.Aubin and Felicia Galbreath escorted by- Mike Paulk. And the 1978-79 Homecoming Queen was Marvinette Brannon escorted by Darrell Evans. Following the coronation was the home- coining parade. It consisted of decorated cars cnauffeuring the queens and runners- up, the Band, Northeast's band and the John Marshall drill team. The spectators were numerous. Halftime sparked the climax of activities. The band and Homecoming Queens were viewed once more. The F'ootball Queen candidates were chauffeured in and escorted into the heart-shaped structure of the Band. Sonya Ewing announced the candidates.

Can they become state bas- ketball champions for the second year in a row? As the season unfolded, the answers became apparent. Well, they did it again! That’s right, for tlie third time in four years the Falcons brought home the golden basketball, the state championship trophy. This was the greatest possible climax to the interesting and unique season that the team experienced. This is how it all began. The season started on a dismal note with a defeat at the hands of the Classen Comets, 50-49. Defeat happened three more times with losses to Northwest Classen, U.S. Grant and Putnam City. Falcons finally discovered that in order to win, they had to score more points than their opponents. They proved this by defeating the Midwest City Bombers, 52-51, in the Spartan Invitational Tournament held at Southeast High School.

With two seconds left in the game and Millwood leading, 56-5o, Viking Ronnie Jones quickly stifled the overjoyed Mill- wood fans with a 25-foot jumper which won the game for North- east, 57-56. Quickly rebounding from this surprise, they defeated Southeast, 59-o7, with outstanding perform- ances by Anthony ‘Drew” Andrews and Freddie “Topcat” Moore with 16 points each. The next three games included a defeat to Northwest Classen, 61- 50, in the McGuiness Invitational Tournament. The next game with the Doug- lass Trojans was a flashback to the Northeast game. With two sec- onds left and Millwood leading, 69-68, a Douglass ‘bench- warmer came in and ripped a half-court jumper to seize the vic- tory for the Trojans, 70-69. But the Falcons defeated Norman in the consolation round, 64-49. Next came revenge time. The Douglass Trojans were violently trounced, 83-56. “Bench-warm- ers did not help! Next came the annual show- down with the crosstown rivals the Bobcats from Star Spencer. Bob- cats emerged victorious, 74-62. It was revenge time again but not so easily as the Falcons, who never relinquished the lead, fought off a fourth-quarter come- back by the Northeast Vikings and defeated them 67-62.

For the first time in three years, there was a basketball homecom- ing. In an invigorating defensive struggle, the Falcons were defeated by the Southeast Spar- tans, 45-44. Rivalry time again. It was a rematch with Star Spencer’s unde- feated Bobcats. The question was, “Can we snap their unbeaten string and ruin their perfect record?” Even with a 38-point performance by Lorenza Andrews, the answer was, “Not this year!” as the Falcons were demolished 83-63. Now it was time to break the season’s tie with Douglass. The Trojans were “manhandled” the first three quarters, but staged a comeback in the final period. Even so, the Falcons put a stop to it and won, 66-64. 1. Throwing a “high fast ball” across court is Sheiyl Steele as Lisa McMullen (21) looks on in the Southeast game. 2.

One problem that confronted the council was the date for Homecoming. January 23, the game with Booker T. Washington of tulsa, was the first choice until it was discovered that a Tues- day would be too inconvenient for the majority of the participants. Consequently, the date was rescheduled for January 26, which was the game against the Southeast Spartans. The one and only rehearsal wasn’t until the day of Home- coming. Kenneth “Tuffy Peoples, one of the escorts, commented, “We don t have to worry about messing up because if we don't know, they don’t. Well, if there was some disorder it wasn’t noticeable. The piano obscured the view of Ronald Lee so that if you couldn’t hear the music, because of a missing microphone, you probably didn’t know that anyone was playing. The lights were dimmed. The presentation of the basketball King candidates began. The young men entered from the left. Horace Moore was tne first candidate escorted by Charlesetta Green. Shelia Tucker escorted Terry Johnson, Don McCary was escorted by Chairmaine John- son. Immediately following was the presenta- tion of the Basketball Queen Candidates. The first candidate, Gena Hodge, was escorted by Tuffy Peoples. Following was Maria Richardson who was escorted by Johnnie Williams. The last candidate was Susan Booker escorted by Lor- enzo Andrews. Finally was the last walk of the reigning 1978 Basketball Queen Phyllis (dark and the 1978 Basketball King Tom Cotton. The drum roll began. The envelopes were handed to the commentators, Mark Pitts and Joi Polk. All was silent, then Polk announced. “The 1979 Basketball King is . . . Horace Moore!” Char- lesetta Green received the trophy from Tom Cotton and presented it to the new Basketball King. The gym was silent once more to hear the announcement of the Basketball Queen. Pitts opened the envelope, paused, building sus- pense, “The 1979 Basketball Queen is Maria Richardson. Johnnie Williams proceeded to pass the crown on to the new Basketball Queen. 1.

The ooysr No! A trademark for this year’s bas- ketball girls’ team is a potent, high-scoring offense and a tena- cious intimidating defense. They averaged 54.2 points per game, while their opponents could only manage 27.4 points per game. In 12 games out of 20, the Fal- cons have scored more than 50 points, with seven games above 60 and three games above 70. Charmaine “Tweedy” Johnson, Earlene and Eileen “Twin I II” Abram all averaged over ten points per game with averages of 17.9, 14.8 and 11.1 respectively. The Junior Varsity Bovs Basket- ball Team is 10-7, that is 10 wins and 7 losses for the season. The top scorers for the team are Hor- ace Moore and Paul Clewis who both averaged 12 points per game. The Junior Varsity Girls played a total of nine games with a record of six wins and three losses. If these good things continue, these girls will l e playoff contenders as next year’s varsity team.

Well, enroll in physical education and you’ll he more than just in shape. You'll feel like a bionic person. Although physical education was a requirement for approxi- mately 350 students during their seventh, eighth, or ninth grade year, some students didn’t take it seriously enough. To some stu- dents physical education was like remembering your alphabet. But as they got in there and were introduced to Mrs. Amelia Spears and had their fun doing calis- thenics, they found out it wasn’t so easy. Even failure to suit up for at least three days would constitute an “F” for the nine weeks. Some of the calisthenics they did while they were in physical education were jumping jacks, sit- ups, pick the cotton, etc. They even ran laps around the gym. An approximate number of the calis- thenics they did is 100 of each and 30 laps. 106 One. . . Two. . . Three. . . Physical Education this year wasn't just a daily routine of sit- ups or some other muscle-building or figure-shaping exercises. At times, students would deviate from their normal routine to learn other skills such as bowling, arch- ery, basketball, volleyball, etc. Things they learned in these areas were how to strike, how to shoot and hold the bow, how to serve, how to shoot and dribble, etc. In conclusion, along with all the calisthenics thev did trying to keep in shape, Mrs. Spears nut that use- ful energy to work by working them in the concession stand at the games and cleaning up the gvm after basketball games. 1. Taking a few laps around the gym are seventh graders during gym class. 2. Playing basketball during gym is a daily activity as it is shown here bv the fifth hour gym class. 3. Gym is not all fun as seventh graders demonstrate while cleaning the halls. 107 COMMUNITY We're one The average student could sum up the community lire in Oklahoma City in one sim- ple word . . . dull. Although they do find quite a few other things to amuse tnemselves such as attending football and basketball games, bowling, and going go-kart riding. Swimming at public pools such as Harrison Park and Douglass center were usually the recreation for tne summer. After football sea- son was over and Christmas break started, everyone was headed to the movies. Big box office hits were “The Wiz,” “Superman, and “California Suite.” A night at the cinema was just not complete without a stop at Pizza Hut, in a million McDonald’s or the new fast-food chain, Jim Dandy’s. More historical buildings and monuments such as the Capitol seem to dominate the northeast community, forcing the teenagers ,to go out southeast for a night of disco danc- ing which was the hottest thing going. If a school organization was not having a party at the popular Homebuilder’s Building, then it was out to “Starship 9” or “P.M.” disco which was exclusively for the teenage crowd; how- ever, often we may call OKC s northeast side dull, we can find plenty to keep us well occu- pied. “There are not enough mirrors in the boy’s bathroom,” says David James. “The best thing about the cafeteria is the seats,” says Tilaen Jones. “The difference between Millwood and other schools is they’re low in normal expected stuff that’s supposed to be here???,” says Bill Jackson. “The difference between our community and others is like running a tortoise and hare race, slowly but surely we re getting there,” says Vemeva Jones. “Thete are too many hills by the school for this to be Oklahoma,” says Marcelle Sattiewhite. “The worst thing about the boy’s bathroom is that the girls can t come in,” says Denarvas Stevens. “The deadest thing about OKC is the people,” says Stacey Lewis. “Millwood is the only school in the world that would have their prom on the same night that the Barkays, Lakeside, Con Funk Shun, and Evelyn “champagne” King come to town,” says Larisa Humphrey.

If vou thought the roads were bad during the snow, you should have tried fighting the traffic between the classes right outside the main building.
