Newcastle High School - Blue Racer Yearbook (Newcastle, OK)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1976 volume:

RACERS EXPLODE WITH NEWCASTLE SCHOOL NEWCASTLE, OKLAHOMA Looking back through all the school years, high school spirit will probably be the most remembered. The cheers of a crowd as touchdowns were made, the yells of the cheerleaders and pep club, the pride of winning and losing, or just relaxing and taking time to think. The spirit of these things will always remain in the past as students at Newcastle travel into the fu- ture. We started our year in a spirit of fun and a spirit of togetherness. School brought the time for friend- ship, sharing, and the time for building memories which students will always keep. Students everywhere took time out to relax and have some fun, whether they were in class, pep assemblies or just roaming the halls. The friendships one makes are among the most important aspects of education because success in life depends as much on learning how to communicate and work with other people, as technical knowledge you learn in the classroom. These are the things about school most likely to be remembered. '75 HOMECOMING The Spirit of 76 was the title for this year's homecoming. Racer fans gathered with much spirit to support their Racer team. The Senior candidate, Nancy Prater, was crowned 75 Homecom- ing Queen by her escort, Senior Clarence Shoumaker. The Junior candidate, Becky Paxton, was es- corted by Senior Tommy Young and Sophomore candidate, Debbie Stockton, was escorted by Junior Tim Simpson. Nikki Snider car- ried the flowers for the Queen and Cory Carson carried the crown. Terri Williams, representing 74 Homecoming Queen, was escorted by Richard Zelewski. Racer spirit was still shining even though they were defeated by Lexington. 6 SPIRIT preveiled this bicentennial year and that was the theme around which the 1976 RACER evolved. Though students have always felt the need to do the very best at what he does and on the playing field there can be nothing less than togetherness and spirit. Newcastle graduated 63 seniors in 1976 but in 1946 there were only 7 graduates. Five senior girls showed pride and spirit on and off the bas- ketball court while the FHA girls helped to show spirit in all their activities. Encouraging teams and promoting school spirit were the primary jobs of the pep club and the FFA's spirit ran high as the boys worked on their different projects. The yearbook staff share small memos of the hours of toil and moments of excitement bringing you the yearbook while the student council contribute a true NHS SP IRIT. JR. HIGH ENJOYS FIRST HOMECOMING Tracy Burris Darren James Kevin Eddy Tony Vinson Amber Keen Debbie Davis Tracy Hill Cindy Garrett We've Only Just Begun was the theme for Newcastle's first Junior High Homecoming. Spirit was shown during the week by making spirit signs and a spirited pep assembly. Each class was represented by their queen candidates. One of the Freshmen candidates, Cindy Garrett was crowned the first Newcastle Junior High Queen. Tony Vinson, also a freshmen, escorted Cindy. Amber Keen, freshmen candidate, was escorted by Freshmen, Tracy Burris. Deb- bie Davis, eighth grade candidate, was escorted by Freshmen, Darren James, and Tracy Hill, seventh grade can- didate, was escorted by Freshmen, Kevin Eddy. Tonya Rushing, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Rushing, car- ried the flowers for the Queen and Mike McBride, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rick McBride, carried the crown. Kim Underwood and Kevin Hixson announced for the homecoming. The Racer team made it a super homecoming by defeating Deer Creek 16-0. 10 ORGANIZATIONS Organizations throughout the year brought a lot of caring, sharing, and happiness into the lives of the Newcastle Racers. Leaving us striving to achieve unity in all things for the betterment of the 75-76 shcool year.

Burnett YEARBOOK AND JOURNALISM Supporting our school became first nature to the Yearbook and Journalism Staff. This year the Yearbook and Journalism classes were seperate. Mrs. Burnett enrolled nineteen in Yearbook and fifteen in Journalism. The Yearbook class attended two Yearbook Conferences during the year. They attended the first one at East Central in Ada, and the second one on the OU campus in Norman. The Yearbook class began the year by choosing their cover, endsheets, and theme for the yearbook. The class worked very hard all year to get pages in on time. Diana Housh and Kim Underwood were chosen for this year's Yearbook Editors. JoNell Crawford was chosen Business Manager. This year is the first year we have had a Journalism class. The Journalism Staff has done a great job in put- ting out the school paper. They started out the year by learning the fundamentals of Journalism and learning how to type on stencils. They toured the Oklahoma Journal Office in Midwest City in February. Chosen as Journalism Editor was Teresa Smith. As we see the school year, 1975-76 coming to a close, we have seen many things change. All of these have made important imprints on the past year and on us. We hope this yearbook will help you remember all the different imprints of the past year.

Dennis The Student Council was formed at the end of last year by the election of officers. 'Hie officers met throughout the summer to draw up a constitution in which the student body ratified by a full majority. Mr. Pierson and Mr. Smith are High School Sponsers, and Mrs. Wood is the Jr. High Sponsor. Goals set by the Council are to spread school spirit, pride and to show that good things can happen through student government. The High School Student Council decided to make coming back to school a little bit better by making Welcome posters for the hall, and giving the teachers red roses and red pens on the first day of school. They also attended a conference at the Skirvin Plaza sponsored by Oklahoma Christain College. H. S. STUDENT COUNCIL—FRONT: M. Reeves, D. Housh, 2ND ROW: N. Shores, J. Fletcher, K. Hixson, K.

They also had many interesting speakers on drugs and hairstyling. They earned two hundred dollars on their Box Supper, this was a new and exciting experience. Some of their projects throughout the year were: a Christmas Party, volunteer- ing their help at the Cerebral Palsy Tele- thon, a Mother-Daughter Banquet, and a Daddy-Date Night. They also had many speakers come out to the meeting and speak on several different subjects. The new officers were: Pres. , Debbie Carr; Vice-Pres. , Gina Anderson; Sec- Treas., Anita Smith; and Reporter, Paula Anderson. There were also, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Representatives. The FHA Chap- ter is improving each year, this year was great, but they hope to make it even better next year.

This years program of work for the year 1975- 76 is: Improving the fairbam, faci- lities, and local stock shows. The big events are: FFA Ban- quet, FFA Week, and Father and Son Banquet. In Community Service, we con- duct FFA Employment Service pro- jects. The Leadership training con- ference, local speech contest, and to send our President to Washington D.C. was the next project. We assist the mothers club in their activities, sell adds for the calender, and sell chapter projects. We held greenhand and chapter initiations, had officer's meetings, and had 110% membership. Our re- creation was the annual FFA trip. STANDING--J. Gilliam, B. Lee, D. Housh, V. McGuire, C. Castle, D. Holman. SITTING--D. Files, J. Washburn KNEELING—J. Washburn, J. Gilliam, D. Files, D.

They succeeded in spreading school pride and Racer spirit by making posters for the hall, selling spirit ribbons, conducting Pep assemblies, and many other fun activities. Homecoming was a beautiful success, which highlighted the fall season. They carried out the theme Spirit of '76' all through homecoming week. During this week the student body and the Pep Club were involved in various activities such as Pep Club girls singing Pep songs up and down the halls, spirit cans for the most spirited classes and a honk parade with decorated cars.

For the first time the seventh and eighth grades were not in the same class or even under the same teacher. This made for an unusual combination of seventh and ninth grades for one Christmas program and a separate program for the eighth grade. The seventh grade music class and their teacher, Mrs. Cornett, went Christmas Caroling through Newcastle and then enjoyed a party in the music room. The Christmas program was a great success and was the climax of a busy semester. Both seventh and ninth grade choruses and ensembles worked hard on contest music in order to get as many Su- perior ratings as possible. The Spring Concert was an exciting event which really displayed all the accomplishments of both grades throughout a busy year. 1ST ROW--Director C. Cornett, S. Thompson, D. Havens, D. Stone, S.

The High School Music class enrolled fifty students in the chorus this year. This was the first year the chorus was chosen by audi- tioning during the summer. Students who did not try out could be in the other chorus with the freshmen chorus members. From the begin- ning of the school year the chorus was working on their fall bicentenial musical I Love America. Their co- lorful red, white, and blue outfits and patriotic songs made it a successful occa- sion. Later on in the year the chorus presented the musical to several schools. The chorus performed their Christmas program and Mrs. Cornett was absent from the chorus while she had her baby. In the spring they prepared the spring concert. 24 M. Thompson, K. Reddout, N.

Band in its second year has done a fan- tastic job of boosting school spirit. The Football Honor Band, consisting of 6th Through 12th grade, played at 8 out of 10 games. They lifted the momentum of the team and fans. Through weekly tryouts, Mr. Pruett, the band director, chose Honor Band members. Throughout the school year, Band mem- bers, with the support of the community have worked on activities such as turkey shoots, selling popcorn and other activ- ities to raise money for band uniforms. They now have band jackets, which they individually ordered themselves. Mr. Pruett conducted the band in a beau- tiful Christmas performance, followed in the spring by another enjoyable concert. In the spring they marched in two parades. This is the first year for marching band. 26 HONOR BAND HELPS VOICE SPIRIT FRONT: D. Wynne, K. Fasgold, ROW 1: R. Billen, B. Beattie, P. Rose, N.

Some classes are better than others just as some students and teachers are better than others. There arc S3 teachers and many different subjects offered plus Vo-tech classes. If your curriculum is dull, blame yourself. CURRICULUM EXPANDS TO MEET INDIVIDUALS NEEDS OF STUDENTS Curriculum emphasis lay in academic, Voca- tional Training, and elective or enrichment areas. The councelor as well as administrators ad- vised students to consider their futures in selecting both requirements and electives. College-bound students were advised in such a way as to avoid deficiencies for college entry. Vocational-bound students were counseled to Don getting ready for Vo-Tech. have back grounds they need to function in the chancrincr societv.

Mr. Young solves Darrell's problem. Darren is amazed! STUDENTS MEMORIZE REASON IN MATH AND SCIENCE Mathematics have always been a basic part of school. There are many different courses of math. Math students worked hard figuring out theo- rems, postulates, and to understand how geomet- rical structures were assembled. A student in math and science must have an inquiring mind and quite often finds the problems tough, but a definite challenge. Biology and chemistry are also important sub- jects at Newcastle in its preparing students for their college education in important years to come. Jo-Nell works in chemistry. 31 Karen thinks he's ticklish. Science interest Mike and Vicki Debbie makes mistakes. Debbie and Joyce find English an interesting sub- ject............ Lisa learns shorthand????? Johnny works on typing BUSINESS STUDENTS PREPARE TO WORK, EARN A LIVING FAST. One of the largest departments was the business department. It offered General Business, which gave a varied outlook on all types of businessess: Typing 1, and II, Shorthand and Bookkeeping. If a student took advantage of the courses of- fered, it would be easier for them to enter the business world after high school. These business courses are designed to help a student choose which profession in business he would like to enter. These courses will help many students in all types of clerical jobs, in the great world of jobs. All of these teachers are trying to get students prepared for the world. English is a four year required subject for all students and it is playing a important role also in business life. Timmy hard at work. Tim and Gary in one of the many history discussions Wanda, Kathy, and Linda are learning to cook. Gala, Kelly, and Lisa are busy with their macrame. The Home Ec. girls sure are proud of their Christmas tea. Vic's masterpiece???? Family Living is a new class at Newcastle High School this year. It is teaching the boys how to cook, how to sew, and mother and baby care. The boys have really enjoyed this class this year. It has taught them a little of what girls do in their every day life. In Mrs. Lee's Home Ec. classes, the girls were learning how to be economical housewives. The Home Ec. Ill and IV girls were taught how to can, make jelly and yeast breads. They also had a foreign buffet for the teachers and guests. A mock wedding was performed to show the students how ex- pensive a wedding could be. Mrs. Vinson's Home Ec. I and II classes presented a breakfast and luncheon. The Home Ec. I, II, and III classes gave a Christmas tea. Senior girls studied housing. They visited a fur- niture store, toured homes, and made house plans. 33 I SPEECH CLASS ENJOYS DRAMATICS SEATED: D. Morse, D. Jones, J. Gilliam, J. Schaapveld, S. Simpson, S. Upton, S. Goodwin, D.

The four people in the play portray scrub women, all dreaming of one day to become famous. Glenda Shores played as Annie, Micki Reeves as Mattie, Jeannie Pierce as Hallie, and Julie Trammel as Bessie. The Speech I class put on a play called The Little Red Schoolhouse. It was a schoolroom comedy in which the class is completely unrulely and the poor teacher is almost driven out of her wits. They have been learning all the fundamentals of being a good speaker. Julie, Noreen, Carolyn, Randy and Jeannie can tell you how fun Speech II is. 34 Glenda cracks-up over a play. Micki gives a humorous speech. Eric and William act out a pantomime.

How about when you are dribbling a bas- ketball down the court and some nut trips you and you fall down and bum your knees. Or in the middle of a big baseball game you come sliding in home and sprain your ankle. It puts you out of competition for the rest of the season. Is competition really all that important?

The Racerettes prepared during the season for the most important game of the season, District Tournament. They were automatically in the finals with Mustang. They were defeated, so they went on to the Losers Regionals. Their first game in the Losers Regionals was against Millwood. The Racerettes won by a large margin and their next opponent was Crooked Oak. They led Crooked Oak until the last quarter, when they lost 35-37.

They played in the Mustang Tournament and in District Tournament. There were three Seniors on the team, five Juniors, two Sophomores, and five Freshman. Due to bad weather several of their games were canceled. The Racers had almost all of the team return from last year, so they ex- pected a winning season this year. They showed much hustle and enthusiasm as they played every game. The team began with a winning season as they defeated Mc- Cloud, Dibble, and Tecumseh in the first three games of their season. With only three boys graduating the Racers will have many good teams to come. 54 Coach Pierson Explains Fundamentals.

The student and faculty population expanded and so did our accomoda- tions. 58 GOOD SCHOOLS DON'T JUST HAPPEN, GOOD LEADERS BUILD THEM The jobs performed by the people in this organiza- tion are difficult. Decisions are involved. These de- cisions affect many lives and are not always under- stood. In most cases whether the decisions are wise or unwise can only be judged by time. The School Board has done a good job in making many of these decisions this year. This year's School Board is STANDING: Eugene Garrett, Carl Fancher, Gene Smith, Darols Robertson (not pictured—Jerry- White new board member). SITTING: A1 Underwood (Superintendent of schools), James Griffith. Mr. A1 Underwood (RIGHT) is the Superintendent of schools. He has been at Newcastle for eleven years and has done a fine job in making many decisions wise ly and efficiently. PRINCIPALS WORK TO PROVIDE QUALITY EDUCATION The principals for this year were Greg Pierson (LEFT) High School principal, Charles Burnett (MIDDLE LEFT) Junior High principal, Ann Miller (LOWER LEFT) Grade School principal, and Clint Hightower (LOWER RIGHT) Middle School principal. The decisions made by thfese individuals affected approximately twelve hundred students in kinder- garden through high school. 59 SECRETARIES MAINTAINED BUSY HOURS Mrs. Wanda Castle was assured a full days work as the financial secretary and personel secretary to super- intendent A1 Underwood. Dorothy Hilderbrand takes care of records and lunch fees. Sue Thomason is sec- retary for jr. high principal Charles Burnett. Virginia Wheeler is secretary for high school principal Greg Pierson. Judy Pierson is secretary for gradeschool prin- cipal Ann Miller. Shirley Ross is secretary for middle- school principal C.R. Hightower. Our secretaries are something to be proud of. They have taken a lot of worries off the shoulders of the superintendent, princi- pals and teachers. Wanda Castle D. Hilderbrand S. Thomason V. Wheeler J. Pierson S. Ross 60 FACULTY USED NEW LEARNING TECHNIQUES We come to school to learn about a truth we can meet and wit- and in searching for it, we find a common bond which ties us together with more strength. Our teachers help us to discover these truths through gentle persuasion and guidance, but most of all, we help each other by caring enough to give our time. This year there are fifty three teachers on the staff. Several new subjects were offer- ed this year, such as Family Living and Psychology. These new classes added new teachers to the staff. Although success in life de- pends on learning how to communicate with other people, a student needs to be aware of the formal and technical knowledge they learn in the classroom.

Having a good hot meal pro- gram for the students and faculty is made possible by the caring women who work in the lunch- room. Newcastle School is fortu- nate to have such efficient women on the lunchroom staff. A neat and clean school build- ing is something for all who at- tend N vcastle School to be proud of. Such a nice building is not possible without a hard working janitorial staff like we have. With the constant addition of students at Newcastle School, skilled bus drivers are necessary for an efficient Transportation Department. Our mechanic has done a more than adequate job of keeping all the vehicles in working order.

Doing your best no matter what they say—not let- ting opinions hold you back—and if your better or worse than someone else—that's tough. But that's harder to do than it sounds. Individuality? They teach you to spell the word in school. It's up to you to define it. STUDENTS HONORED FOR THEIR SCHOLASTIC ABILITIES Cindy and Anita study hard for the contest. Kari and Jimmy talk about the tests. In the past years, students from Newcastle have worked hard preparing for the Interscholastic Meet at East Central University at Ada and this year was no exception. Many students studied hard and many teachers helped them get ready for the meet. Although it required much studying, all the students who participated in the contest enjoyed it. Students participating as of March 16 were: Jo Ellen Wilson, Resa Fer- guson, Cheryl Neuenswander, Terry Bates, Pam Walck, Eddy Littlejohn, Tim Underwood, Darla Selzler, Debbie Carr, Traci Turner, Debbie Pat- ton, Darrell Morse, Lisa Stanley, Jimmy Fletcher, Randy Moore, Neal Shores, Paula Anderson, Pam Eddy, Becky Paxton, Anita Smith, Kelly Fisher, Kim Underwood, Danny Ogle, Damona Stockton, Susan Woodruff, Kathy Minnis, Terie Williams, Cindy Turner, and Frankie Wesnidge. Newcastle students also participated in the Engineering Day at OU. There was a wide variety of subjects to compete in. Some of them were Algebra I and II, engineering drawing, general science, and egg carton design. Eddie Littlejohn, Benee Slater, and Pam Walck received honorable mention in Algebra I, Neal Shores and Pam Walck in Algebra II, and Darla Selzler in general science. 66 Darrell and Neal board the bus. 25 NAMED ON STATE HONOR SOCIETY T.

Honor roll students must be in the top ten percent of their class scholastically. Freshmen are ineligible to be members in the Ok- lahoma Honor Society because the percent is figured from the two preceeding semesters of high school grades. 67 K. Reddout, S. Ross, K. Hixson, K. Underwood, G. Shores, P. Exldy SENIORS REMINISCE, LOOK TO FUTURE OF DECISIONS Graduation at last! Although it had been eagerly anticipated for so many years, it represented some serious challenges. Among these were decisions —about getting married, going on to college, finding jobs, and general worries about the future. But it was fun too, looking back at the past twelve or thir- teen years, which brought laughs about the many goofs and the hard way to learn lessons. The Class of '76' elected officers.

Jimmy's only relat- ive is Uncle Dan (Bryan Doke) who is very wealthy and generous. Uncle Dan gets the impression that Jimmy is married. Uncle Dan arrives to meet the bride. Jimmy tries to talk his girlfriend, Madge (Glenda Shores) into posing as his wife. Madge re- fuses, so Jimmy attempts to hire Mr. Oswald (Tom- my Young) to pose as his bride. Mr. Oswald arrives as Mrs. Took but Bill is posing as Mrs. Took and his wig comes off right in front of pretty Peggy (Kim Underwood) who is Uncle Dan's ward. Lady MacBeth (Malinda Thompson), Little Bo Peep (Sheila Ross), Injun Joe (Eric Minnis) are people from the insane asylum being chased through the house by Dr. McDaniel (Jimmie Washburn) and his nurse (Diana Housh). All added a lot of laughter to the play. Mrs. Cornett enjoys her work?????????? Crazy people from Green Gables! ! ! ! Darling, I've been looking all over for you!!!(! Come along like nice little girls! 75 Madge, Oh, How disgusting!.'!! JUNIORS EXPERIENCE EXCITING YEAR PROJECTS AND RALLIES BOOST SPIRIT An exciting year was in store for the Juniors. It was a year of hard work and many decisions. They had to decide which style of class ring would represent them. Then they waited anxiously to receive them. The juniors also put on some fund-raising projects to earn money for their prom. One of these was a 50's carnival held Nov. 18. The other being the Jr. play, which went over with much success. After much thought and consideration, class officers were finally elected.

Coming together in studying, playing sports, the prom and graduation are only a few of many memories. We, the Racer staff of 1976, have truly enjoyed trying to preserve a small part of them for each one of you. We hope that this yearbook will bring each individual a touch of happiness to remember.
