Schoolswere no exception, as Vicky Pierce shows. Phase ’7 4 Crisis 1973-7 4 was a strange year. Really weird. It started out nicely. Pres- ident Nixon was inaugurated w ith what seemed to be a solid American majority backing his plans for this term in office. The POW's returned from the prison camps of Vietnam to joyful families and public. But President Nixon's sol- id majority declined steadily with a succession of scandal revelations i n vo I v ing high- ranking White House aides, including allegations of the President's involvement. This strange and sordid affair, cal- led Watergate, was directly or at least conventiently respon- si ble for a I i e n a t i o n of the American people fro m their government. Making news most of the year was the gasoline shortage. Driving students felt the pinch along with everyone else in the U.S.A. One way to save was to drive at slower speeds, 50 or 55 m.p.h. A 55- m.p.h. speed limit was legislated in early 1974 to coincide with nationwide attempts to alleviate the crisis. Fortunately, an espe- cially harsh winter didn't hit, or heating fuel short- ages could have been dis- astrous. But, an especially hard tornado season pre- ceded it. They zoomed all around Newcastle, leveling n e i ghboring communities Union City and Blanchard. Thom Wood packages can- ned goods co I I e c t e d by Newcastle students for Blanchard tornado victims. With the POW's home, at- tention turned to the thousands of MIAsstill unaccounted for. Senior Jacci Titsworth w o r e a bracelet with the name of Spec. 6 Jerry Bridges, he not being one of the returnees or those accounted for. And the highly controversial issue of amnesty for the thousands of draft dodgers in Sweden and Can- ada was raised. Horror stories of torture in the prison camps of Vietnam leaked out slowly. The energy crisis most ur- ■■■! gently made its presence felt. I The skyrocketing price of gas and I other petroleum-related products, when they could be found, were further blows to money already stretched by the highest inflation since the Korean War. OPEIMING 3 Possibly the very freakiest of all happenings in this freaky year was the story of Spiro Agnew, once folk-hero to millions of Middle Americans whom he championed. With Pres- ident Nixon's popularity slipping and the possibility of impeachment being openly discussed, it seemed likely that Agnew might well become Presi- dent. Early in the fall that situation changed drasti- cally. News leaked out of grand jury investigations of Agnew's activities as Governor of Maryland, an office he held immediately before becoming Vice- President. Accusations that he had extorted funds from contractors in return for political favors while he was Governor and even after he became Vice- President finally formed. Agnew angrily, self- righteously denied all charges, declaring he would fight this through to the end. A stunning re- versal resulted when he pleaded no contest to reduced charges, paid a fine, and resigned the Vice-Presidency. The 761st U .S . Air Force Band came all the way from Sheppard AFB, Texas, to wow the student body with their big-brass sound. ‘Yesterday at 2:00 My Spiro Annually the FHA initi- ates the freshmen mem- bers of their club with all sorts of unusual rituals. One inventive method to harass the girls was dem- onstrated by Mars hah O'Donley to Terri Dobbs. The girls were forced to chew licorice without swallowing, grossing out many of those participat- ing, not to mention those watching. 4 OPENI NG The Economic Stabilization Program meant regulated gas prices much of 1973: to some it meant only regulated gas price increases. Charges flew that the gas shortage was really only an oil industry plot to boost profits, leading to a highly publicized but incon- clusive Congressional investigation. Profits were up, some 50%, all over the industry. Oil company spokes- men tried to off-set the claims, saying in- creased profits were being spent to explore for more oil to satisfy an energy-hungry, energy-short country. The Arab oil em- bargo was one factor accounting for oil shortages. The out- break of another Arab- Israeli conflict strengthened the Arabs' position, and they boldly imposed the embargo on oil shipments to most Western countries who had supported Israel. The events stunned the nation, including the stu- dent body of Newcastle. Although most of it de- veloped during part of a school day, news leaked into a thoroughly surprised student body, word spread- ing quickly throughout the school. The whole affair became the talk of the school by the time the stu- dents boarded the buses for home, and spilled into the next morning. Many felt Agnew got just what he deserved, while some felt he had been handled too lightly, that he should have served some kind of prison sentence. Those who had believed his statements of innocence, and admired his courage in facing his problems, were most bitterly disillusioned.

High school music en- rollment leaped up to 150 the first semester, but dropped to 130 the sec- ond semester with higher gas prices and the threat of gas rationing. Athletically the high school girls' basketball team and junior high foot- ball team proved the most successful, the latter win- ning the district champion- ship, and the former ranked as one of the top girls' basketball teams in the state. Skits like this one were performed at pep assemblies held week- ly during most of the football and basketball seasons, helping stress school spirit. The Dumb-bell Bowl, a Lettermens1 Club money-raising effort, attracted TV coverage. The bowl pitted two teams ot Newcastle women in tackle foot- ball. A camera crew was filming this prac- tice session with Coach Jay Barnett.

Also I recently gave my car a tune-up to make sure the gas I am burning is not wasted. A clean air filter will also boost gas efficiency. Also we have turned down our thermostat as the President advised. These are just a few small things Americans can do but all add to the conserv- ing of our nations' energy problems. David Steffes Well, they say there's an energy crisis. Today, that's about all you hear about. A month ago, it was Watergate. So I guess there must be something all the time. Well, I'm doing something to conserve energy. It may not be much, but it's something. I also think that the whole thing of this energy shortage is overdone and exaggerated. I ad- mit, there's a shortage of fuel but I don't think it's as bad as people make it sound. Denna Wallis To conserve energy, I am not doing much. For one reason I don't use much so I don't have much to conserve. But I think that we have plenty of energy to last us for quite a while, and when we run out we can depend on wood for heating, and probably use atomic energy for driving cars ana airplanes. James Rawson Well, for one thing I am not firing up my jet and flying up to San Clemente, and I am not trying to see how many days I can stay in space in Skylab. Dennis Griffin Now that you think about it I don't think there are very many people doing anything about it. I have to be honest and say I haven't been doing anything about it. If you call being out of money to buy gas to go anywhere con- serving then I have been conserving gas. I really haven't been too concerned about it because I don't believe we could have a shortage on everything at once. I could not be for sure but somebody is going to have to be finding out how we could be short of every- thing at once. Kerry Keen I have heard that they are trying to put a 50 mile anhourspeed limit on us. This might help, but I heard that driving slow would cause truck drivers to shift more. This would cause more use of fuel, so what good would it do. I haven't done much myself, but my mom has cut down the temperature in the house. Steve Wilson I really haven't taken it that seriously up until now. My reason for this is because I always thought with a place as big as this we would always have enough resources. After the President's speech I have been driving slower and set the thermostat down. This is only a little but maybe it will help. Debbie Henley There is now no doubt in most peoples' minds that there is a true energy shortage in America and in the rest of the world also. I intendon doing my part to the fullest. First of all I will try to be more sensible in my driving habits. Actually it is better in the long run to take care in the first place. I will also try to influence my parents along the same lines. Robert Smith I try to cut down on trips to the city unless I really have to go. Sometimes I drop my speed down to fifty or fifty-five. When work- ing around the house on Saturdays I cut down on trips back and forth to Newcastle, like going to the dump and the store or gas sta- tion. My dad laid down a law that we don't go over fifty-five. It's hard to follow it but I try. Kevin Carrel The first thing I did was try and stop my running around as much as possible. I really don't have to worry too much about gas be- cause my Dad has a gas station. Robert Mason High-fashion, casual wear, sepa- rates, sportswear—many types of clothes for many occasions.

THE ENERGY CRISIS 9 Enjoying an early lunch before dashing off to Vo-Tech are Marilyn Curl, Retha Klopfenstein, Cindy Hildebrand, and Gayla Henson. Business Vo-Tech: One-Hour Bus Rides, Paper Shortage, Writer’s Cramps Current trends place emphasis not only on college prep courses but also on gaining valuable tech- nical training for entrance into the working world. This trend was re- flected locally as the business courses were filled almost to ca- pacity. Each day a disappearing act among some of the students took place. It began at 8 o'clock every morning and ended about 4:30 ev- ery evening. Where did they go? Why did they go? What did they do? These students went to Mid- America Vo-Tech at Wayne. Se- veral different courses offered there led to promising futures. It took incentive on one's part to get the work done in the business classes. Every day, typing warm- ups had to be done. Assignments were given in weekly units. Busi- ness Math, Accounting, Bookkeep- ing,Key Punch, and Office Practice also had to be mastered. In n u r s i n g , students learned how to be nurses' aides. This in- cluded taking tests, making beds, and bandaging fingers. Actual training was received in nursing Poised and ready to type, Carol Dean con- templates her typing II assignment. homes. Now, how about electronics? These students were involved with the workings of TV'sand radiosand how to repair them. They even took field trips to TV repair shops. In addition, carpentry was of- fered. Students built a house from floor to roof and sold it at the end of the course. Auto Mechanics was one of the most interesting classes. This class proved valuable for job train- ing and personal need. Distributive Education envolved learning all about merchandising and marketing of products. The stu- dents gained experience by working in a store set up at the Vo-Tech center. Besides classes, there were three different clubs to join: Future Business Leaders of America, Dis- tributive Education Clubs of Amer- ica in which Mike Howerton served as Reporter and Promotional Man- ager, and Vocational and Industri- al Clubs of America in which Becky Fletcher was elected President and Marilyn Curl was elected Vice- President. Even with so many students goingto Vo-Tech, Typing and Gen- eral Business classes at the home school had very few vacant desks. General Business was in such demand that one of the two classes was in the Home Ec. room. Learningto master the keyboard took up the first nine weeks of Typing I. Stu dents struggled to complete their lessons, turn in work, clean up their desks, and rush off before the second bell rang. By the end of the year, the hour went faster, and the typewriters actually seemed to work. Ten of the older machines had been re- placed by new models, thus re- ducing the odds of having a totally inoperable typewriter. Ten students were enterprising enough to enroll in a second year of typing. Classwork was done on a weekly unit basis with emphasis on independence, accuracy, and care of typewriter. Yearbook and newspaper was another course offered in the Busi- ness Department. Staff members combated late pictures, sick du- plicators, numerous copy revisions, and endless deadlines. Mr. Henry Mobley Thrust directly into the economic shows a student howto situation, the vocational education use one of woodwork- classes dealt with directly, but with ing's many tools. opposing emotions, today's higher prices and tight supply. Woodworking and home ec students found inflated prices when purchasing lumber and food supplies, while ag students found increasing profits from sale of livestock and grain. Ag student Kerry Keen spoke of the situation, saying, The housewife thinks she can buy food at the grocery store, so what do we need the dumb old farmer for? Cultural shock hit the Home Ec Department as students found changes in course content. The girls cooked and sewed, of course, butalso held discussions on abortion, wom- .. ,. , en's lib, venereal disease, and trans- vocational: actional analysis. When discussing ------------ abortion, the girls heard a speaker PnlfiiKol QhnrL f|,om Birthright, an anti-abortion IsUllUldl OIIULIV, organization. T hey collected other furino CUniA c information, both pro and con, by OWine onOWS, interviewing authorities and by re- Splinters in Your Fingers. 12 V0CATI0NAL DEPT questing materials from various or- ganizations. One of the most ef- fective interviews was conducted with an obstetrician. The unit was con- cluded with a debate among the class members, and each girl was left to make her own decisions on the sub- ject. Interior decorating was also stud- ied, and one class project involved the making of shades for windows in the home ec room. The advanced classes did frame loom weaving, de- signing andcreating purses, pillows, and wall hangings. Increased prices for the fruits of their labor didn't lessen the load for the guys in ag. Welding projects and ag math problems took up a great deal ofclasstime, with livestock proj- ects, ranging from rabbits to chick- ens to cattle, taking up a great deal of time outside class. That was made up, at least some of it, by timeoutof class for stock shows in the spring and fall. Many of the people in ag plan fur- ther careers in agribusiness or agri- culture, while others plan to work with animals as vets. Others look on this as an activity and not a specific ca- reer preparation. Most live on acre- ages or farms where farming is a part of the daily routine. Woodworking I students began the year with a simple board and worked up to more complex projects, such as bookcases and gun racks. The board was used to help students learn toop- erate the many tools in the shop. Stu- dents also learned to draw plans for the projects they made. The second year of the woodwork- ing department meantanadded class, Woodworking II. These students studied more advanced techniques and tools. The boys also made looms for home ec. A chance to make something for their parents or themselves and the fun of using tools were the main rea- sons for taking the class.

VOCATIONAL DEPT. 13 Audiences attending Newcastle Music Programs learned to come an hour early in order to get a good seat. Learning how to operate a car is one of the most important steps in the life of a student. During the last three years of high school, the rivilege is especially important ecause of the extra-curricular ac- tivities . The fourth and fifth hour driver's ed classes consisted of nineteen students. The students were divid- ed into smaller groups and drove four days a week. Other days were spent discussing information from the driver's manual. Summer classes of driver's ed included much of the same kind of work, but it didn't really seem like a class as much as it seemed like fun. The majority of students felt that driver's edwould benefit them; some took it only to get cheaper insurance rates. Most students were pleased with the new driver's e d car, a Chevy Impala, but most complained about the floating carpet and its being slightly dirty. The students learned a variety of things from finding the ignition to picking pears from the side of the road. All in all, learning the rules of the road in the classroom and prac- ticing them while driving was time well spent when Mr. Pigg, an of- ficer from the Oklahoma City Police Department, came to give the stu- dents their tests. All passed but one. Because of the driver's train- ing these students received, many of them were permitted to enroll in music and drive to school. This was possibly one reason for the tremendous increase of enrollment in music. One-hundred and forty-two stu- dents rol led out of bed an extra hour earlier each day just to be in the high school chorus. When the chorus performed a smoothly polished and rehearsed song, very few in theaudiencecould really appreciate the co-ordination and balance they had just heard. Chorus members really raised the roof every morning, usually 14 MUSIC—DRIVER'S ED. DEPTS. Far Left: Removing a hubcap proves a di- lemma to Lisa Miller and Diana Housh.

Some of the kids on the top bleacher even tried to escape, with- out being seen, by means of the windows; and the music sheets were frequently transformed into a vari- ety of paper playthings. In spite of all this chaos, the performances turned out amazingly successful. The first money-raising project for music was launched two weeks before Thanksgiving. The money was used to buy new equipment for the department. Although Mrs. Carol Cornett, director, stayed hoarse half of the year from having to yell so much, chances were that Newcastle's mixed chorus would bring home high ratings and trophies after the an- nual spring contests. Students faced the possibility of having to arrange car pools when news of the fuel shortage hit the nation. Some students feared they might even have to drop music if the problem became too serious.

Providing students with the neces- sary training to do so effectively is the goal of the Language Depart - Language: Shakespeare, Adjectives, Drama, and No Memorizing” ment. Students sometimes fuss about taking four years of English, little realizing how important this knowl- edge will be in future years. Three different teachers resulted in a va- riety of nine different English clas- ses for the Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. Giving book reports was the only common activity in these classes. Barry Askins1 atten- tion is diverted by the camera from the qroup reading of play parts in Speech. 16 LANGUAGE DEPT. Thecumculumofthese nine classes included such variations as making illustrated poetry notebooks, pre- senting cuttings from plays, writing creatively, studying grammar, prep- aring for ACT tests, and reading Shakespearean plays. Speech, which was offered as an elective, was returned to the curri- culum after an absence of two years. Stressing drama the first semester, the fourth and fifth hour classes pre- sented Sauce for the Goslings, Why Teachers Go Nuts, Teach- er's Pet, and Whodoneit? Second semester was filled with various speech contests and a trip to CSU to see a drama production. Eleven adventuresome students met the challenge of Spanish I be- cause it sounded like fun to be able to talk in a language other than Eng- lish . With emphasis on communica- tion, the class, taught by Mrs. Jean McBride, received new books at the first of the year and zoomed through them, learning the language by repe- tition. No memorization also was enforced by Mrs. McBride. Many book reports and speeches have been delivered from behind the old podium in the English room. Mrs. Retha Curtis is in a familiar position dur- ing English III. Teacher's Pet gets a good, thorough study by fifth-hour Speech class members. LANGUAGE DEPT . 17 History: Indian Treaties, Jeopardy, Role Playing and Arguments. Do Grandma and Grandpa talk about the good old days? Taking a history class can help keep you up- to-date on the past and help you to converse about current events. Problems with Indians, land rushes, and becoming a state in 1907 were presented to the three Oklahoma History classes, consis- ting mostly of freshmen. Going beyond the state level of history into American History, more problems, famous men, important battles, and the Constitution were studied by role-playing, making projects, and giving reports. Nothing was old or boring in these two clas- ses;theydid something new and dif- Debating is heavy in American History as Lisa Babb and Lynda Crawford prove their point to Kevin Carrel. 18 HIST ORY ferent the whole year. After mastering state and nation- al levels of history, students fur- thered their history knowledge by taking World History. The two clas- ses, open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors, travelled from the Pa- leolithic Era and touched on all the important dates in history up to the present day. Taking tests in Mr. Greg Pierson's classes was brain stretching, so Jeopardy was played to relax the class members. It also built up a little competition between the juniors and seniors. Discussing current events from the Daily Oklahoman, the POD class gave reports, made notebooks. and went on trips to see court ses- sions . The ten students and teacher, Mr. Jay Barnett, argued through the year on the issues of President Nixon, smoking, Watergate, foreign aid, social security, the Vietnam War, law enforcement, and Ann Lan- ders . Learn by your mistakes is a well-known phrase, yet over and over andoveragain, people make the same ones. Why take History? Other than the fact that Oklahoma and American History are required in order to grad- uate, there is always the chance of tel ling your grandkids about the good old days! Hard at work is Mrs. JoAnn Holy trying to get the lesson through to the juniors. Reading her Oklahoma History is Sherell Brown, while Frankie Wesnidge asks a ques- tion.

Hand Talk is used by Mr. Don Young, Alaebra I teacher. Math Science: Earthworms, Chemicals, Suspension Bridges, Curves, Logarithms, and Magic Squares Spilled bromide, peculiar o- dors, and forgotten formulae pre- sented challenges for students in the math and science departments. Seven different courses were offered with a total of ten classes scheduled. General Science usually ful- filled the science requirement for graduation. Freshmen had interest- ing sessions experimenting with chemicals, pu 11 ey systems, and general dissections. If a student wished to go a step further in his science pursuits. Biology was the logical course. The details of dissecting and prob- ing into the basics of biology made excellent preparation for college. Another c o 11 ege prep course was Chemistry. Generating oxygen, hydrogen, and other gasses took up much of the lab time. Students learned about the composition of compounds and molecules, energy levels in atoms, and functions of the periodic table of the elements. Freshmen strengthened their math education with Algebra I. This course laid the foundation for all future mathematical learning. In Algebra II, ambitious stu- dents examined more deeply the mysteries of algebraic structure. Quadratic equations, two-variable equations, and conic equations made for mind-stretching assign- ments . Interest in curves can lead to many things, but for some students it led to the study of geometry. Re- lationships between curves, lines, angles, and circles were studied. The practical applications of mathematics were emphasized in High School Math. This course was designed for students who needed a math credit or who wished to re- fresh their mathematical skills be- fore graduation. Chemistry is not all experiments, Danny Paxton discovers as he tackles the pile of paperwork. Tish Carter and Kathy Eades make a weighty test of strength on their suspension bridge for the class contest in General Science. MATH-SCIENCE DEPTS. 21 Flu, Broken Duplicator These pages were due yesterday. This statement was always on the black- board in the typing room, under the huge caption of ATTN! YEARBOOK STAFFERS. Deadlines were missed, due to flu, general slowness of being under-staffed, and change of deadlines by the compa- ny. Preparation began last spring for the '74 RACER as staff hopefuls attended the 1973 Journalism Con- ference at OU, listened to staff speeches on the var- ious aspects of constructing a yearbook, and practiced making layouts. This early study was continued as Larry Shaw, '74 Editor, Linda Fletcher, Assistant Editor, and Mrs. Young, Adviser, attended the week-long OIPA Sum- mer Publications Workshop on the OU campus during the first of June. Photographer Candy Davis learned detailed skills and knowledge of cameras at the Photography Workshop at Bethany High School held late in May. School began with thir- teen staff members and once the basics were learned, work began: clubs, activi- ties, pages, and copy were assigned. Ad selling took members to businesses and indivi- duals in Newcastle, Tuttle, Blanchard, Moore, Norman and Oklahoma City during September. These patrons help finance the yearbook and are necessary—with- out them, there would be no yearbook. Again in early October, the staff went to OU for the Fall Journalism Conference, where the '73 RACER re- ceived a With Honors rating. To start off the sub- scription drive, an assembly was held for the students, 7th-12th. As a result, 485 copies were ordered. Deadlines came and went, some pages were done, some weren't. The flu hit and school let out: ef- fort doubled. After and be- fore hours, study halls, and class time—every spare or possible minute was spent in creating Phrase 74 for the students. The Pacesetter was shortened in an effort to conserve paper. Things progressed fine until the electric duplicator quit. Manning it by hand, staff members developed muscles, but delivered the first issue on time. The second was delayed for three days due to the school's closing; the third dealt mainly with elementary students' stories. Biogra- phies of Seniors made up the fourth and final publication. Co-Editors of the Pacesetter, Linda Fletcher and Micah 0'Donley, work on some plans for the newspaper. Carrying sack lunches, staff members wait for a ride to the Fall Yearbook Conference at OU on October 5, 1973. MEMBERS OF JOURNALISM STAFFS ARE: SITTING: B. Bar- ton (Bus. Mgr.), L.Fletcher (Asst.

In 5th hour study hall, Pam Green, Kenneth Carr, and Billy Wilson studied for the mid- year exams. Study Hall: Options— Sleep, Flirt, Cut-up, or Study MA timeto study or a timeto sleep. This de- scriptive phrase by Raylene Daniels pretty well fit- ted the students' idea of an ideal study hall. An- other student, Robert Mason, agreed. He said, 11. . . iust to get away from a book, I guess. Some students tried to spend the hour by get- ting in trouble. Said one study hall teacher, Mrs. Retha Curtis, They (study halls) are usually pro- blem periods for the teachers because the study time is not used properly. It could be a wonderful thing, but the kids just cut up and act silly. However, some students did spend their time well by actually getting some studying done— whether it was of the opposite sex or a printed page is not important. The style of the study hour depended largely upon which teacher and which students were put together.Some of the study halls were relaxed and fun for students and t ea c h ers, while others re- sembled a military barracks. But, study halls were handy. As Leigh Blodgett and Rita Brown said, They sure help before an American History test!

Somethings that draw the girls to FHA are the style shows, trips, parties, pro- grams, and traditions. Preparing the girls to be future homemakers is one of the reasons for having an FHA Chapter. Prospective mem- bers were invited to a Coke party to acquaint them with the purposes of FHA. Before a girl could become a mem- ber she had to go through a little initiation. One day when the boys came to school they thought they had gone back in time. All the FHA initiates were dressed up like they were in the fifties: ponytails, long dresses, rolled-down socks, red lipstick. They had to go across the street doing the boogie. The main purpose of the initiation was fun, but it also brought the girls closer together. At Christmas they went to the Nursing Home and sang andvisited with the people to give them some company . They also went to theCerebal Palsey Center and took gifts that they had collected and visited with the patients there. On April 5 the Club at- tended the FHA Rally held at the Civic Center. They raised the money to attend by selling cookbooks. At the Rally each club put on a skit, and all the clubs attended general sessions. They also installed the newly elected state of- ficers . In the spring they attended the FHA-FFA Banquet at which the local officers for 1 97 4- 7 5 were installed. The last activity of the year was the FHA trip. Many of our future farmers begin in FFA. Why? They learn what they need to know about crops, animals , and the business aspects of owing and careing for a farm. They learn leadership and democ- racy in conducting their meet- ings and how to speak in pub- lic and serve on committees. Members of FFA learn how to serve their community. The boys enjoy FFA be- cause of the activities in- volved, such as stock shows, working with their animals, and working in the shop. Also they have fund-raisingactivi- ties. In the Spring the boys had a slave auction, where each boy sold himself to do eight hours of work. In the fall they sold sausage and had a donkey basletball game. The boys feel they have a superior FFA chapter, forthis is the tenth year they have been awarded the Superior Chapter award . There are several things upon which the Superior Chapter award is based, and the Newcastle FFA has assomplished all of these. 26 FFA-FHA Teresa Percell, the FFA Sweetheart of 1973- 1974, proudly displays a plaque award from the FFA trophy case in the agricultural building.

Frequent rains turned the baseball field into a virtual lake and made track practice difficult and messy, if not impossible. Third-place team finish in the conference meet re- sulted from a third place finish by the 440 relay team, second place by Thom Wood in the shot put, and third place by Thom in the discus throw. The team also participated in meets atAda and district-qualifying meets. The baseball team play- ed an abbreviated schedule, due to many rain-outs and mud-outs (when the fields had suffered all they could). Nonetheless, the season produced a co-conference championship and a district championship. The Racers lost in the Bi-District to Jones. Fine pitching and bat- ting by Ronnie Williams led to All-Conference and Little All-City honors. Ronnie led the team in pitching victo- ries (5), batting (.406), and home runs (6). Randy Corbin, batting .400, was another All-Conference se- lection as catcher. 0 ther All - Conference honorees were Steve Wilson and Robert Mason.

BASEBALL-TRACK 31 Teamwork + Spirit = Winning Spirit was the name of the game for the 1973 Newcastle Racers. Not only team spirit, but the best school spirit ever shown by the Newcastle stu- dents . Several players made All- Conference this year. They are Randy Corbin, Running Back;Wes Wall, Tackle; and Robert Smith, Defensive Half Back. Honorable Mention went to Gary Dean, Steve Wilson, and Danny Abbott. Randy Corbin also made Al- ternate All-State . Leader- ship shown by team co-cap- tains, Wes Wall and Robert Smith, united the team and helped communication be- tween coaches and players. The first game of the sea- son was with Wayne. After the halftime score, Racers 6, Wayne 7, the rain and a num- ber of fumbles left Newcastle defeated 13-6. Although the jRacers started out with great team spirit, Lamont won the second game, 28-6. Changing the tide of los- ing resulted in a hard-fought battle forthe Racers, but they outplayed the Washington Warriors 12-7. Keeping up with the w i n n i n g attitude Newcastle crushed Alex 12- 8. After the exciting victo- ries , the Racers played Blan- chard, the best-played game of the season, resulting in a close 6-9 defeat. Spirit was running high as Racers met the Tuttle T igers. The Racers were scoreless the first half and retaliated with two late touchdowns, resulting in a 39-12 defeat. Homecomingwas discour- aging for the Racers. Through a series of fumbles and mis- takes Newcastle lost to Lex- ington 27-12. After a disappointing first half with the Luther Lions, the score 30-16, the Lions' favor, the Racers surged a- head to a 37-30 victory. As the Racers went to Rush Springs, they went with intentions of winning, but the Redskins' lightningspeedand quickness was too much,and the score was 56-0. A strong Senior spirit dominated the Minco game, resulting in a 14-12 victory. A new award was made available this year to foot- ball players who played ex- ceptionally well during the winning games. Winners of the Iron-Man Award were Jerry Liles (Washington), Robert Smith (Luther), Wes Wall (Minco), and Randy Corbin (Alex). All in all it was a good season, as the 4-6-0 record shows.

And peo- ple thought: wait until they're sen- iors! Well, this year they were seniors. But only three of those six girls re- mained, banding with three juniors to form one of the finest girls' basket- ball teams in the state. They weren't bad at volleyball, either. Volleyball generally takes a back seat to basketball as the number-one girls' sport. As a matter of fact, it is usually ignored. It comes on the heels of state tournament basketball play, filling the gap so the girls do have something else for competition. The Newcastle team won the county tour- nament, then won their first two games in the area, needing only one more victory to go to the state tour- nament. They lost to Elk City, how- ever. Afterthe quickie volleyball sea- son of'73, they began a long buildup to the '73-'74 basketball season, and hopefully the state tournament. Until the end of the year, the girls partici- pated in a basketball-fundamentals class. Then in the summer many at- tended the Lindsay All-Star Girls' basketball camp, learning fundamen- tals, and most played in the summer league. When school began, they once Piedmont.

These victories propelled the girls to a number nine ranking in the state, but e r r o n e o u s I y in Class A. THE DAILY OKLAHOMAN finally situ- ated them twelfth in Class 2A. They moved as high as eleventh before dropping to fifteenth after losing to Moore in the Regional Finals at Crooked Oak.

HS GIRLS' BASKETBALL—VOLLEYBALL 35 Expanding Athletic Program Development of leadership, which seemed to be lacking this year, was greatly stressed by Coach Don Shepard. He had hoped that the boys had learned that once you start something, it is better to fight it out to the finish rather than just quit. With all lessons learnedthe hard way, the boys basketball squad tied for second place in the Canadian Valley Conference. T he boys also seta goal to beat Blanchard, and after a long struggle, were very successful with the final score of 59 to 47. After vic- toriously defeating Blanchard the boys suffered a harsh let- down . The boys played well during December and a couple of games after Christmas. The teams that defeated the Racers all had win- ning records. The leading scorers on the squad were Randy Corgin and Frank Hill. Gary Brown and Frank were the lead- ing rebounders of the year. Jr. varsity basketball was in its first year at Newcastle. They tied Washington 44-44 and Minco 45-45. They de- feated Bethany in the Minco Tournament 51-40. Although they participated in only a few games, they had the desire to play many more. The Weightlifting program, in its first year, was under the leadership of Coach Joe Hum- fleet. This off-season athletic class is designed to help high school athletes in every sport, but it is centered mainly on track and football. The weight- lifting class was short in com- parison to other sports, lasting around an hour and a half, but the accomplishments were sur- prising. The program worked on body bui Iding and speed. Proper athletic trainingwas highly stressed by Coach Humfleet. Already it is appearing to be a big asset to the Newcastle High School athletic program. 73-74 HS BOYS' BASKETBALL SCORES NC 54 60 56 45 34 63 53 79 53 74 76 58 48 43 50 60 59 47 72 53 69 78 45 79 57 70 32 45 56 65 63 75 76 63 52 60 58 74 63 75 46 68 Noble Eakley Binger Dibble B Ian chard Am-Po Wayne Washington Blanchard Dibble Am-Po Deer Creek Piedmont Washington Blanchard Washington Calumet Lexington Union City Noble St. Mary's MEMBERS OF THE WEIGHT LIFTING SQUAD ARE: BOTTOM ROW: T.

Future Seasons HS BOYS' BASKETBALL—WEIGHT LI FT ING 3 7 Building Persuasive methods used by the coaches helped the NHS athletes to give their all during the sports seasons. Being an athlete means sacrificing your body and developing your mind to help encourage school spirit and unity, Robert Smith stated. The club held several fund-raising activities: selling tickets for a gas raffle, selling stadium cushions and Go RACERS stickers, and serving in the concession stand at the DumbBelle Bowl—earning a total of approximately $2,000. the major part of the money helped ease the financial burden of purchasing weight-lifting equipment, including 200 pounds of bench press. Funds also went for secur- ing side-line jackets for football and track equip- ment. By building some of the track equipment them- selves, they combatted some of the high costs. Important constitutional changes were passed during the first of their regular meetings. One major am- mendment was to letter in track. Why? Because track takes more guts, Coach Humfleet says. Requirements to letter in track are to score at least one point in a five-school tournament. There were no dues charged for this year.

Hair was slicked back into duck- tails or ponytails, and rolled sleeves and pants dominated the halls. Enthusiasm reached its peak at the bon- fire for fansthe night before the game. Com- petition was running high for the Spirit Stick, which was awarded to the Senior class. Also recognized for their spirit were Brinda McEwin and Danny Watters. Finally Homecoming'73 was here as NC played Lexington. C rowds turned out wearing NHS mums and spirit ribbons; blue and white colors prevailed. In spite of the hard work on everyone's part, the score ended 27 to 12, the Bulldogs' favor. The party, sponsored by the Pep Club, was somewhat daunted by the defeat, but can't be excluded from the memories of October 19, 1973.

Both the Junior and Senior High Pep Clubs were busy before each game, and both did their jobs well. Pep rallies, candy sales, and spirit ribbons kept the Senior High Pep Club and Mrs. Glenda Humfleet, the sponsor, busy. Pep rallies were held on Friday morning be- fore the game that night. A spirit stick was given to the class that had the best school spirit. Homecoming began with a bonfire on Thursday night before the football game on Friday night. After the game the Pep Club spon- sored a party with a Fifties theme. Tickets were sold for this. After football season the Pep Club had a party for the football team. Later on in the year a sweetheart ban- quet was given by the Pep Club for the football and basketball boys. During the football season all home games and many games away from home had to be attended. This was the time when all kinds of weather had to be endured. Basketball games were inside, so the cold and the rain weren't much of a problem. For both football and basketball games a bus was taken to the away games, thus sav- ing gas. Success was the word for Junior High Pep Club, especially with 83 mem- bers. They really showed their spirit, pride, and enthusiasm for their foot- ball and basketball teams. At home and out-of- town games the girls cheered the boys through an undefeated conference football season. Mrs. Jo Ann Holy and Mrs. Dolores Hedger or- ganized the girls into a successful and effective club. The club cheered through all kinds of weath- er. Neither rain nor cold could dampen their spirit while they were led through numerous chants and cheers by the six cheerleaders. When the football sea- son ended, the Pep Club gave a weiner roast for themselves and the foot- ball boys. They all enjoyed getting together and visit- ing with each other.

Junior high baseball surged ahead with the first game of the season played against Mustang. Mostof the gameswere played in rainy weather,resulting in mud- clogged cleats.Uni forms that were once white turned a dingy yellow. Games were seldom played in sunny weather. Practice time was originally from 12:30 until 1:30 P.M. while school was in session. Practice time was later scheduled during noontime, and some players gave up lunch in order to get more practice. One outstanding player was Dowd James due to his many sea- son accomplishments. The team was not concerned with just winning, but sportsman- ship as well. Spirited enthusiasm resounded for the junior high football team, as they played their way to the dis- trict championship. Outstanding support by fans, students, and those players who spent most of the time on the bench highlighted the 6-2 season. Exciting moments abounded in this winning season.There was Dowd James' 74-yard touchdown run at Washington, and the valiant goal-line defense that stopped Tuttle on its one-foot line in the final minute of play to insure the Racers an 8-6 victory. Excellent performances were turned in from all sides throughout the season. Dowd James, playing both offense and defense, led the team in tackles and rushing yard- age. Keith Wood, Frankie Wes- nidge, Tim Owens, and Bryan Thomas also did fine jobs. Approximately fifty boyswere out for the team, attending daily practice sessions and participating in pre-practices the week before school started. They warmed up dai ly with calistehenics, went into dri I Is, and practiced fundamentals and plays. The Racers also fielded a middle-school team consisting of seventh and eighth graders from the junior high team. This pro- vided an opportunity for some of younger players to gain game ex- perience. The team beat Mustang, Alex, Dibble, and Lexington, fought Tuttle to a scoreless tie, and lost to Western Heights, who was the only team all season to score points on the team.

Baseball, Football JH FOOTBALL,BASEBALL 43 JH Suffers Building Year, This year's team was com- posed of a large number of girls who didn't have much actual experience, but nevertheless, they showed a considerable a- mount of hustle and desire and were an enthusiastic group of basketballers, was the com- ment compiled from statements made by the Junior High coaches, Mr. Mike Rice and Mr. Greg Pierson. But what the 69 girls lacked in actual game experi- ence was easily made u p in hustle, spirit, and determination. Their desire to win, play, and learn did help make up for the fact that they had lost all of the main string from the year be- fore to the high school team. Many of the girls showed a- bove-average abi I ity and the willingness to learn, which will make them better ball players in the future. A lot of help was received from the Bridge Creek girls who made up two-thirds of the squad this year. These girls helped make up in game experience what had been lost the previous year. Main string forwards were Cheryl Brown, Laurie Crawford, Linda Burris, and Anita Smith. Guards were Wanda Percell, Debbie Carr, and Sandra Long. Main substitutes were Regina Moore, Sharon Steger, Carol Robertson, Sandy Irwin, and JoEllen Wil- son. Manyofthe boys made tre- mendous stri des in various phases of the game and were a hustling group of competitors. It seemed the boys also faced the problem of making up for the loss of the more experienced ball players, but still showed considerable improvement for a young, inexperienced team, to quote both Coach Rice and Coach Pierson. The coaches faced st i 11 another problem: that of choosing a trave ling squad of 24 from a large group of 42 . The coaches did make up minds but often would switch suits to give others a chance in game experience. The boys that made up the main string this year were Keith Wood, Center; Robert Corbin and MikeTennell, Forwards; and Greg Ferguson, Mike Baldwin, and Brian Thomas rotated as guards. Main substi- tutes were Mark Shropshire, Terry Burris, Byron Coats, Steve White, Mike Horton, and Ricky Moore. 73-74 JH GIRLS' BASKETBALL SCORES NC 41 40 25 36 36 43 38 39 42 53 15 38 15 35 47 34 38 35 41 43 48 25 42 30 39 48 39 43 Ninnekah Blanchard Washington Lexington Ninnekah Tuttle Wayne Noble Tuttle Piedmont Washington Wayne Blanchard Tuttle 73-74 JH BOYS' BASKETBALL SCORES NC 39 41 33 63 47 27 30 43 33 25 42 46 51 43 41 36 25 43 15 35 31 21 28 15 27 43 23 18 32 48 Choctow Blanchard Purcell Millwood Washington Lexington Alex Ninnekah Lindsay Wayne Washington Dibble Blanchard Dibble Tuttle Loses Starters 44 JH bASKETBALL MEMBERS OF THE JUNIOR HIGH GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM ARE: FRONT ROW: C.

JH BASKETBALL 45 to High School Caring About Winning A caring-about-winning attitude was the most no- ticeable thing about the grade school girls' and boys' basketball teams. The grade school teams don't usually play very many games, but this year's season was even shorter than usual, three games, to be exact. Several of the games fell because of two of the major problems of Phase '74: the gas short- age and a flu epidemic. Flu was especially trouble- some, as it struck these younger kids the hardest. The girls' team had a 1-2 record. Coach Jay Barnett commented that all of the girls showed great improvement and felt New- castle should be proud of them. The team had great determination and sports- manship. Overall the boys' team did a good job, finishing their season with a 2-1 record. Most of the boys were able to do what was asked of them by Coaches Jay Barnett and Mike Rice. Forwards on the girls' team sighted for good play were Kerry Reid (for good hustle and going to the basket well), Debbie Nunn, Leah Sheperd, and Teena Norton. On the guard end, Trudy Longan brought the ball up the floor well, and NEWCASTLE DRUG 387-4386 Hyway 62 Mrs.Martha Lee prepares ham- burgerson the Drug Store foun- tain for hungry customers.

When asked about the state fair in Oklahoma City, they came up with anything from It was neat! as heard from Brian Rose, an eighth grader, to the opinion of a sophomore, Vic Barton, that he liked Six Flags better. Some sophomore girls seemed to enjoy the idea of making new acquaintances of the op- posite sex. When asked why she liked the fair, Diana Housh came up with, Cause of the whistles, and Debbie Thomas jumped inwith, Thestock barns had the best looking guys. A few even went for the sheer enjoyment of stuffing their mouths, as Julie Trammel suggested when she said, I like the food. Cheryl Deaville said she ate too many corn dogs. Rita Brown seemed to sum up an overall feeling. I thought it was pretty neat. When asked why, she replied with, Cuz, just pretty neat. I got sick. I about fainted. But it was pretty neat!11 They don't seem too sure about it, but Charlotte Malone, Kathy Denise, and Leah Shepard buy tickets for a midway ride...

Newcastle fared well in the East Central Interscholastic Meet of April 1973. First place was lost by one point to Stonewall in the overall judging of points. Many student representatives from NC con- tributed to this success by placinghigh in their specific competitions. Newcastle gained this recognition by winning medals in many of the testing areas. The students and their placings are; Robert Smith received first place in Problems of De- mocracy, and Wesley Wall got second place. Robert Smith gained another medal by winning third in American History. Linda Fletcher got second place in American Literature, and Larry Shaw placed third on the same test. Mike Babb received a third-place medal in Expository Themes. Frankie Hill and Bill Slater took, respectively, first and second places in the Geometry competition. Two freshmen, Kim Underwood and Micki Reeves, won first and third in Oklahoma History. Suzanne Steger re- ceived second place in Spelling.

Shaw Selection for membership in the Oklahoma Honor Society is limited strictly to members of the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. Honor roll students must be in the top ten per cent of their class scholastically. Freshmen are ineligible to be members in the Oklahoma Honor Society because the per- cent is figured from the two preceeding semes- ters of high school grades. Therefore, this is a great scholastic honor for those who are on the honor roll. We all associate the problems of the fuel crisis with limited gasoline, long lines of waiting, and the threat of gasoline rationing in the future; but there is no energy crisis at all where service is concerned at Crawford's Service Station.

Mainly because I am a sophomore. Now I will get down to what I was going to talk about. THE GAS SHORTAGE Everybody is after gasoline. The prices are getting ridiculous. Fifty cents a gallon is a lot compared to twenty-three cents approximately one to one-and-a-half years ago. There seems to be a severe shortage of a great number of products related in some way to oil. Energy to run factories, electric plants, oil, gas, propane, and materials made from oil base pro- ducts are just a few of the shortages we now seem to have. There are two opinions: if there really is a crude oil shortage, or if this is a way to raise prices. An ice cream cone on an un-airconditioned spring school day is refreshing for Teresa Perce 11. I don't know what to think. First, I thought there was no gas shortage; now, maybe there is. Like I said, I don't really know. I think all of us should take it easy for a while.

OKLAHOMA Old-time melo- drama was revived again as the Juniors presented The Widow's Weary Way or Virtue Wins Out. The original play had an unusually small cast, but under the direction of Mrs. Carol Cornett and her stu- dent director, Amy McNeilly, the cast was enlarged to in- clude nearly every member of the class, after some additional parts were added and the script was revised. The plot was de- veloped with thrilling scenes of adventure featuring such char- acters as the sly vil- lain (Scott Stone), who was after the widow's (Marshah O'Donley) silver mine and her beautiful daughter (Debbie Hen- ley) . A lively old granny (Cheryl Thomp- son) knew all along of the evil villain's plan and frequently stepped in to discourage his advancements. And the handsome young hero (Jerry Lyles) just happened to step in in the nick of time and saved the day. Many hours of hard work and practice were devoted to the produc- tion of the play, which paid off in net receipts of approximately five hundred dollars. JUNIOR PLAY 63 Sophomores: Corrections Challenge Manuscript Typists Mada Watters shows how static electricity defies gravity and creates a new hair- style. Sophomores seem to think it isn't very exciting to be sophomores. They are looked down on by classes and once again find thenlselves at the bottom of totem pole. Manuscript ty ping pre- sented the challenge of using carbon paper, erasures and correcting corrections, foot- notes, and getting the leaders in the Table of Contents to align correctly. Pages were done and redone until they were correct, and some students found that receiving an I was heartbreaking an d depressing and meant some extra time in the Typing Room.

PREJUDICE The dictionary defines this word as A judgment or opinion formed before hand or without thoughtful examination of the perti- nent facts, issues, or arguments. Another de- flation for this is hatred of or dislike for a particular group, race, religion, etc. We all like to claim we are not prejudiced, but there is no getting around it, we all have someone or something we put down all the time... The kind of things I'm talking about are like you put down so and so's church because they don't have services like your church does. So you don't do this. Maybe you put every one against a new guy at school because he has a drawl or maybe he has an accent. The most horrifying is labeling names on certain people. If you get nothing else out of this, remember not to criticize anything until you have really tried and experienced it. Also remember the quotation A 11 men are created equal.

Glad Tidings was the title of the fifth and sixth grade Christmas concert. The chorus, numbering 150 strong, wore capes in thecolors of the season, red and white. Elaborate cos- tuming for the fifteen characters of the nativity scene made one disregard the simplicity of the Child's birth place. Lighting and scenery were provided through the talents of Mr. John Rob- berson, who greatly increased the interest and point of the program. Mrs. Linda Robberson, elementary music teacher, directed the oper- etta. The story was told entirely through song. The younger set provided a secular program of old favorites like Jolly Old Saint Nicholas and Jingle Bells, which brought out the youngster in one and all. 78 GRADE SCHOOL XMAS The 4th grade sang Alfred Burt carols, illus- trating the more contemporary sound in Christmas music. The smiles on the children's faces provided the audience with a look into the heart of the young who were patiently awaiting Christmas. The ex- citement i n the faces of the children spread throughout the audience, thus spreading Christ- mas cheer. The stage decorated with Christmas lights, yule clad trees, and bright tinsel, plus the many faces of smilingchildren, put all of those watch- ing in a bright, happy Christmas spirit. Smiles of happiness of the small kindergarden children brought the Christmas spirit out even brighter when they began to sing enthusiastically Rudolf, the Red-l losed Reindeer and Jingle Bells for their parents, grandparents, and friends in the audience. Mrs. Robberson plays the piano as the fourth graders perform. Mrs. Robberson leads the kindergarten as they enthusiastically sing Jingle Bells.

Exciting the senses was the basis for an experiment run by the first grades, led by Mrs. Lois Stern and Mrs. Kathleen Rushing. It began as the kids made apple- sauce and then, blind- folded, tasted bits of the applesauce and bits of a pineapple and tried to distinguish the difference. Squeals of delight from the participants met the experiment. The purpose of this experiment was to arouse the interest of the students in fruits so that, hopefully, they might begin eating fruit for snacks, rather than candy, which is so harmful to dental health.

The activities and prog- rams of the Newcastle School District falls mainly on the shoulders of a group of people known as the administra- tion. Consisting of the school board, superintendent, and principals, the group su- pervised a II the functions necessary to the day-to-day and year-to-year operation of the school system. Because of the unique growth of the Newcastle District, they worked with one eye on the past, one on the present, and an inner eye on the future. Overseeing the general program and policies of school life were the members of the Board of Education. Meetings were held no less than once a month, with the regular meetings scheduled for the first Monday night of the month. Mr. Darold Robertson was elected in a special elec- tion in the fall to fill the va- cancy left when Mr. Everett Little was transferred out of the Newcastle District. In the January elections, incumbant Mr. Gene Smith was elected to serve his third consecutive term on the Board. The 5-mi 11 emergency levy and the 10- mill levy were also voted on during the January election and were passed without any difficulty. The filling of ad- ministrative, faculty, and staff positions for 1973 and 1974 were necessary tasks beginning in January and end- ing when all posts were filled. 94 ADMI NIST RATI ON Administration: Responsibilities Grow Finance was a major concern to Su- perintent AI Under- wood. Trying to keep abreast of changes in school finance laws required attendance throughout the year at state and area admin- istrators' meetings. Supervising the con- struction of a new elementary school located just south of the Carr Addition sometimes called for problem-solving de- cisions before work could proceed and also numerous inspection trips to insure that all Mr. Al Underwood, Superintendent Mrs. Wanda Castle takes care of all the lunch fees and records. was going well. Quick and accurate decisions were also required as to whether or not to dismiss when threaten- ing weather occurred or when part of the school was without heat or when the flu sent absentee rates soaring. Cost increases of gasoline and the possibility of reduced allotments made the scheduling of field trips an uncertainty, especially after a voluntary curb was asked for by President Nixon. Serving as personal secretary to the su- perintendent and fi- nancial secretary for the Newcastle Public School is Mrs. Jan Underwood. ADMINISTRATION 95 Principals Staff: Handle Problems Efficiently One of the hardest jobs to fulfill at school is that of a principal. A person in that position must be able to handle both major and minor problems quickly and efficiently. A principal has the job of enforcing the rules and codes of the school when they are abused or misused. Our Newcastle prin- cipals meet these classifi- cations in the highest degree. Mrs. Ann Miller, elementary principal, deals with the day-to-day disci- Mrs. Charlotte Wood and Mrs. Sheila Allee assist Mr. Homan and Mr. Cox by typing, making an- nouncements in classes, record keeping, and doing general office worK. pi inary problems and directs the business of the ele- mentary section. Mr. Terry Homan, Junior High principal, di- rects Jr. High students toward goals they must complete in high school. In the last and perhaps most important phase of schooling, Mr. Joe Cox, high school principal, counsels students who are preparing for college and future vocations. Fulfilling her duties as secretary for Mrs. Mil- ler and as teachers' aide is Mrs. Dorothy Hilde- brand. She also takes roll for the high school music class. s. Principals for the New- castle Public Schools are: Mr. Joe Cox, high school principal, Mr. Terry Homan, junior high principal, Mrs. Ann Miller, elementary principal. 96 PRINCIPALS, STAFF Faculty: Accountability: Design, Implement, Evaluate Accountability was the themesong of the faculty members from the year's beginning to the year's end. The first major emphasis occurred at the McClain County Teachers' Meeting held in Purcell in September. The con- cept was again pre- sented at the State Convention October 18-19. The site of the exhibits and gen- eral sessions was in the Myriad in down- town Oklahoma City. OEA newsletters and magazine carried futher outline reports and procedures. Work on the local level be- gan in early February with the appointment of a Steering Com- mittee and an outline of the general program by Dr. Don Porter from Shawnee. Each teach- er prepared a list of questions for possible use on the question- naire submitted to parents in the district. Responses were tabu- lated, and work began on a program outline to meet the needs of the students. The program is designed so that it will fill a span of three years: the first year spent in design, the second year in im- plementation, and the third year to be spent in evaluation.

Fulfilling one ofthe hardest and most es- sential jobs on the school payroll are the bus drivers. They be- gin their daily routine driving for the morning pickups and return at 3:30 in the afternoon for deliveries of stu- dents . The bus drivers should be commended for trying to maintain order on the buses, watching out for the children's safety,and watching the road, all while the bus is mov- ing. Bus drivers who are NOT PICTURED are Lennie James, Owen Robertson, and Vernon Baker. Al Wilson, Henry Mobly, Mike Rice, Pricilla McGregor, Phyllis Cravens,and Roberta Morse. 100 BUS DRIVERS Staff: Stuck Buses, Dirty Halls, and Hungry Kids Keep Staff Busy Firing up the boiler and warming up the buses are the first ac- tivities of the day for Mr. Vern Baker. Skill with wrenches and screw-drivers earns him the position of mechanic for the fleet of 13 buses. Ice, snow, or mud on the routes may find him pulling a bus out of a ditch. When the steam Mr. Vern Baker, me- chanic and bus driver, checks the oil in one of the school buses. pipe to the high school broke in sub-freezing weather in December, Mr. Baker, with some digging assistance from Ricky Thomas, replaced the worn-out section of pipe. His day ordinarily ends as he lines up the buses for the afternoon run and completes his own route. Working each day to help keep the build- ings and grounds clean are Mr. Lonnie James and Mr. Ed McClain. NOT PICTURED are Mrs. Pat Martin and Mr. Owen Robberson. Halls get dirty in a school building, as the custodians can readily testify. Two of them, Mr. Lonnie James and Mr. Owen Robberson, keep the walkways and hallways swept clean during the day. Mr. Ed McClain and Mrs. Pat Martin take up where the stu- dents leave off each day and put the build- ings in ship-shape for classes the following morning. Cooking for a family of four can be quite a job, but imag- ine cooking a meal ev- ery day that will serve 600 people! That is exactly what the cafe- teria ladies do 175 days a year. Lunch is prepared not in terms of teaspoonsful and cupsful but pounds and gallons. Planning nu- tritious Type-A meals requires some ingenuity in getting students to get their vitamins. One plan allows for no seconds until the first plate is clean. Dis- guising some foods is another, such as the two gallons of beets that are used in Beat- nik Cake. Preparing to serve one of the students' favor- ite lunches, hamburg- ers and french fries, are the cafeteria ladies, Mrs. Rachel Wallis, Mrs. Jackie Chambers, Mrs. Loretta Wiles, Mrs. Ellen Wiles, Mrs. Joy Vickie, and Mrs. Nell Washburn, Supervisor. STAFF 101 Collecting Fines, Selling Candy Occupy Students. The concession stand is a popular place during the lunch hour, especially for the grades that are not al lowed off the school grounds. Students volunteer to sell candy, gum, and pop and be re- sponsible for keeping the shelves stocked. One group works from 11 to 12; a second group takes over until closing time. Displaying some of the candy choices available at noon in the concession stand are Ricky Thomas, Larry Simp- son, Scott Stone, and Timmy Owens. Not pictured is Terry Clay. Checking books in and out, writing notices for overdue books, collecting fines, and shelving returned books com- prise some of the duties of the library aides. Two students volunteer their ser- vices each hour in order to help the librarian, Mrs. Sheila Allee. When asked why he would give up a study hall to work in the I i brary. Jay Jones, a third- year aide, said, I like to talk to the people who come in. Another advan- tage is having first access to all the latest books and magazines.

Serving lunch,drying silver- ware, running the dishwash- er, and cleaning tables earn them a salary. Picking up absentee slips, answering the tele- phone, making announce- ments, and sorting and de- livering mail keep the of- fice aides busy during the school day .They run errands for both principals and tea- chers. School does not run without help.In addition to all the teachers and other adult staff members, there are places for some student helpers. Behind the clean floors each day stands a crew of student custodians. They not only sweep the rooms, and hal Is but also ahul trash,mop and buff, and lock up. Dur- ing the summer and Chris- tmas vacations, they help strip and wax all the floors. Sweeping out the buildings at the close of school each day are the student custo- dians, Ricky Thomas, Larry Simpson, Frankie Hill, and Alan Thompson. STUDENT STAFF, AIDES 103 Registering for thei first votes are 18- year-olds Linda Fletcher and Debbi Griffith. Loose ends remain to be tied. Perhaps by the time of the bicentennial celebration in two years, the legal processes of our country will have disposed of the innocence or guilt of those involved in the Watergate scandal. Some fundamental reform suggest- ed by the energy problems brought about in this year may have been enacted. It's been a year of dis- illusionment and bitterness for many Americans. Some- thing must be done to shore up America's faith in its government, politicians, and bureaucrats. That means something must be done to the government, some fundamental changes will have to come about. Out of seeming adversity have come some of Amer- ica's greatest triumphs. Newcastle's still grow- ing, if you haven't noticed. The new grade school will be open for '74-'75, and a new era will begin in this school system. Of Crisis and Confidence 104 CL0SING A If this sounds bitter or pessimistic, it is because of uncertainty about the future of us all. It is the mood of a troubled nation. Perhaps the answer lies in greater participation in future phases. The eighteen-year-old vote means that students are thrust directly into running their own world upon grad- uation from high school, if they bother to vote. The Responsibility is a vital asset. Earning some by helping out in the concession stand is Paula Osborn. current mood of pessimism means many are not ex- ercising their right, being as apathetic in many ways as previous generations. Finding their own answers and making their own mis- takes is the right of every age. The preceding gen- eration's mistakes were especially noticeable in Phase '74. Tomorrow's generations' answers must be equal to the challenges. CL0SING 105 ADVERTISEMENTS Compliments of SEVIER’S FUNERAL HOME 381-2323 Tuttle, OK DALE’S Toys Gifts Business Machines 540 W.

He lived on a farm in Lexington, Oklahoma, and went to high school there. He played basketball against tough teams like the Newcastle Racers. After high school he went to Oklahoma University Pharmacy School and graduated in 1967. Then along came Sam (Uncle Sam, that is) and hauled him off to Washington, D .C., to Walter Reed Army Medical Center to fill prescrip- tions for Ike, Mamie, General Westmoreland, etc. After two years he came back to Okla- homa to try and improve the Image of Pharmacy and be of service to mankind. He decided to go all out and establish a pharmacy that would give the people service in addition to what was required. So he decided to give discount prices (for the economy-minded), free insurance statements (for people who would not do it themselves), a free statement for in- come tax purposes, and free delivery for those who can't make it down to the store. Carey and Roger try to please folks. Come in and meet them and see if you aren't pleased.

Over 200 Newcastle students make it happen when they participate in 4-H activities. Throughout the year members strive for personal improvements by enter- ing contests, contests ranging from Dress Revues to Stock Shows, Judging events and field days to Local, County, and State Fairs. Various 4-H events in which members participate a re held all over the state. State Roundup is conducted on the campus of Oklahoma State University, Southwest District Leadership Conference is held at Lake Texoma Lodge, and Tri-County Camp is convened at Lake Texoma. Every mem- ber sets his sights on the most important trip—National 4-H Congress in Chicago held each November.
