FLY, LIZ, FLY. There is always red tape involved in getting licks, like waiting for the board to meet. ANTICIPATE, DON. ANTICIPATE. | Thei I for 1 7 School is really a drag ... sometimes. But most of the time I can manage to have a little fun in class if I try real hard. That is if I have a good supply of paper, if I sit by a nice-looking member of the opposite sex, or if I have a class I can sleep in. Throwing paper airplanes is really a lot of fun, but I don't throw them at the cute teachers. After all, I don't want to get on the bad side of a teacher I have a crush on! Flirting is really a great way to pass time, but not during a test. It can be hazardous to your grades! And, there's always that last resort — sleeping. I just have this certain paranoia of waking up to bells or screaming teachers. Anytime I do go to sleep, 1 have this recurring nightmare. Bend over and touch your toes ... IT HAPPENS OUTSIDE Usually, if class is really boring, there's something happening outside of class to make school worthwhile. Pep assemblies, field trips, and lunch hours always liven things up. It seems like there is always something to entertain me. I thought it was hilarious when a big, husky football player claimed his teddy bear at the Pauls Valley pep assembly. Who would ever guess that Ted was his bed feller ? 10 The drama class's trip to KTVY to see Danny's Day was a blast. I just knew when I was seen on television, a new star would be born. I must not have been very impressive. They wouldn't even let me in the studio! I had to watch from a side room. The very best part of the trip was having a food fight at Western Sizzlin'. After all, we've had a lot of praefice in the cafeteria. Everyone has learned style and technique. It's still a shame, because that day we wasted good food! When there is absolutely, positively nothing going on, you can make something happen. Throwing a boy in the girls' bathroom always gets a reaction. It gets quite a few blushes, too! Only from the female gender, of course!!!!! -M THE MAIN EVENT The Racer Homecoming was the main event of the 1979-1980 football season. Highlighting the Newcastle-Marlow football game was the crowning of the new Homecoming Queen, senior Stevi Woodard. Other candidates included sophomore Jan Goodnight, junior Schelina Randleman, and senior Cheryl Shoumaker. For a brief moment attention was taken away from the tense atmosphere of the game, and focused on this half-time ceremony. 16 LEADING THE WAY Student Council helped involve the whole school by sponsoring dances, films, assemblies, and other various activities. The most important activity sponsored by the student council, however, was the Homecoming Parade. They sponsored a car decorating contest as well as the float contest. They selected the judges and awarded the prizes. They also sponsored a crazy week during Homecoming when everybody let their true self be known. Hats, pajamas, and kinky hairdos were not uncommon. It made going to school a lot of fun. There was a lot of work involved in stuco. The members dragged themselves out of bed early on Wednesday mornings to meet before school. It took careful planning and hard work on their part to make activities fun for the whole school. Stuco enabled things to run at its very best. Student Council-ROW 1: G. Fox. T. Whitson, R. Selph, J.

Stockshows, speech contests, and agricultural projects, are some things that keep this group busy. They learn many things that will be beneficial in the years to come. They must learn other things in FFA, too, like making good choices. They made a good choice when they selected Sheila Gilliam as Sweetheart. She won district sweetheart and first runner-up at the state fair. Lee Daniel and Paul Kammerlocher, two of the FFA officers, went to Washington, D.C. They attended conferences on leadership and brought home many great ideas. FFA-ROW 1: C. Wood, D. Smith, P. Kammerlocher, L. Daniel, S. Gilliam, C. Stanley, B. Coats, R. Lee. Mr. Straka. ROW 2: T.

IT GETS BETTER AND BETTER Smith. 4-H was a very active group. They participated in stock shows, speech day, demonstration day, and dress review. Some 4-H'ers were singled out this past year. Dawayne Smith won grand champion barrow at the State Fair as well as at Tulsa. This is the first time for this to happen in 25 years. Marlena Fletcher became a member of the State Blue Award Group in achievement. There are only 16 members in the state. Dawayne and Marlena also served as king and queen. Nobody can say that they didn't deserve it! Activities • 21 DISCRIMINATION? NEVER!! ROW 1: Ms. Brewer, Ms. Besett, R. Stanfield, A. McNeilly, K. Kendrix, A. Cordray, K. Schaapveld, J. Daniels, B.

As a result of doing service projects and presenting programs concerning crucial modern issues, the typical future homemaker learned more about family living than just how to function at the stove and at the Singer. In a word, the FHA'er became aware. And who was to say that the typical future homemaker of America was a female! There were male members as well learning to cope with today's society where roles are reversed so often they have become almost interchangeable. But FHA members were not always so serious. What's August without a watermelon feast? Spring without a weinie roast? FHA'ers handled business with pleasure! 22 • Activities FHA Officers-ROW 1: B. Weitelman, T. Longan. S. Griesel, K.

P OF CHRISTIAN ATHLETES 11 FCA kicked off the year by inviting Blanchard FCA down for a film and a watermelon feast. There were many activities for the athletes this year, making FCA a highlight in their lives. Teaching discipline, leadership, and sportsmanship, it was very helpful. Activities • 23 ROW 1: J.

McCalister, A, Morgan, S, Hatfield. Probably nobody realized just how much the band helped lift our school spirit. When Mr. Pruett started swinging that baton, feet automatically started tapping and hands started clapping. It was enthusiasm at its finest and it was contagious. That beat lifted the foulest mood and practically controlled the crowd. Other than the band members themselves and their parents, few people realized the long grueling hours spent practicing to make their routines appear so easy to perform. Besides a two-week headstart on the rest of the school, band people started every morning at seven, rain or shine, heat or sleet. Tried playing a clarinet lately with frostbitten fingers? Sure they got discouraged, but they didn't let that stop them. They knew if they kept working as a team, it would be worth the effort. And was the Racer Band appreciated? You bet!!! - ■ One more time ... another one more time!!! Imagine the pep assemblies without the band? the football games without the band? Mr. Pruett without the band? No way!! The Band Officers provided leadership within the band. They also provided a little fun. They are pictured at the left. ROW 1: T. Minnis, M. Walck. J. Pruett, L. Smith, J. Stultz. ROW 2: S.

And, of course, there were many different groups delivering this sound, Madrigals and the Barbershop Quartet being among the favorites. They performed well, right up to par. Quality has always been present in the high school choir, and they kept up with the tradition. Who knows, there might have been a future Barbra Streisand or Neil Diamond in there.

Activities • 27 FRENCH AND ART CLUBS French Club is a relatively new organization at Newcastle. Even though it is only its second year here, they started the year out right. After selecting officers, they got the show on the road. Some members dressed up as French men and women and marched in the Flomecoming Parade. They were well represented! Officers-S. Buchanan, V.

Mind-boggling or not, some students enthusiasm for certain subjects spilled over right out of the classroom and into extracurricular activities. Those with special artistic talents and interests found an outlet for their energies in the Art Club. In its second year of existence, the members decided to work on projects to help the art department raise funds for the supplies and equipment that it needed. The December Crafts-Fair kept everyone working overtime during the fall months. Another project was silk-screening T-shirts. But the best times of all were those that would be shared by all artists: the enjoyment of working with the hands and with the creative mind, the feeling of wet papier mache and soft pottery clay oozing through the fingers, just the thrill of seeing something original taking shape. The Art Club did it all! Activities • 29 WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO BE Basketball Cheerleaders- BOTTOM: S. Woodard, $. Gilliam. TOP: R. Fletcher, S. Randleman. Wrestling cheerleaders-BOTTOM: J. Whitford.

Maybe if I just stand up here with all the girls no one will notice me. Pep Club sure is fun but all that yelling makes me hoarse. I love the away games when we all ride the bus and play games and sing songs. I forgot that this is the week I have to make wall posters and have to be nice to a football player. I really enjoy Pep Club, most of the time. All of the people I have met have really been nice to me. The friends that I' e made are great except for the officers. They gave me a demerit once for not wearing my uniform, but it was dirty. I can't help it. I'm not wearing dirty clothes to the game. After all, we boys have to keep up our image. ROW 1: S.

It was so crowded it had to be split into two groups, speech and drama, by alternating the classes at the end of the first semester. Mrs. Burnett taught drama while Mrs. Tankersley was teaching speech. Each group gave speeches, demonstrations, pantomimes, and commercials. Some students found it difficult to perform these assignments in front of the class, but eventually grew accustomea to it. some did resort to nailbiting, though. They certainly didn't resort to gum- chewing!!! There were many activities highlighting the year. A trip to Danny's Day and a tour of KTVY started it all off. This was followed up by two plays of their own as well as seeing a play performed that was cast with professionals. It was a very rewarding year, teaching students confidence, poise, and public- speaking. And, of course, it was a lot of fun. CAUGHT M THE ACT Drama-ROW 1: Ms. Burnett, N. Smith, T. Hill, D. Hill, C.

The play consisted of fumbling bumbling detectives who somehow managed to catch a mysterious phantom. Also involved was a group of bloodthirsty greedy relatives, a rich hot-headed aunt, a not-too-innocent butler, and a sweet lovey- dovey couple. It was the first of two plays performed by the drama class under Mary Burnett. The play received good reviews and was considered a success. Beverly Weitelman gives a demonstration to a group of pre-schoolers. Activities • 33 Lee Daniel as the mysterious Phantom proved once again that the butler did it. Jive Eddie, played by Bill Coats, kidnaps the prima ballerina, played by Sandi Potts. GET OUT OF THE HALLS ! !

Bulging muscles and sagging T-shirts seemed to be what the wet T-shirt contest was all about: or, vice-versa for some! Wet T-shirts to fierce rope-pulling, the assembly leading up to the game proved to be a very exciting and spirit-boosting event. The teachers had even regressed to kids again: some by fulfilling their childhood dreams by being a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader; others by fulfilling their teacherhood dreams by dragging their students across the tape in the tug-o-war contest. The Newcastle-Tuttle basketball games were exciting to say the least. The girls gave it their all but couldn't pull through; the final score being 36 to 32. The Tuttle Tigers, seeking revenge from football season, almost forgot that it was a basketball game. The Racers played with class and never lost their cool. During the final quarter the Tigers slipped by the mighty Blue Machine making the final score 84 to 75. 36 MORE THAN A HALF-TIME ... and that it was for Cheryl Shoumaker, a senior forward who was crowned Basketball Homecoming Queen for t980. The roses and crown seemed to add to the excitement as they were handed to her by her escort, Terry Underwood. The Pit Crew, of course, added their own touch to the games making them even more exciting, if that could be possible. It was a night enjoyed by all. ♦Cheryl Shoumaker, Sr. Terry Underwood, Escort ♦ Tracy Hill, Jr. Kenny Brown, Escort ♦Brenda Littlejohn, Sr. Larry Hansen, Escort iTammy Craven, Soph. James Wilson, Escort 37 Dfie Tracer The United States should go to the Olympics but they shouldn't be held in Moscow. It's not fair for all the people that trained for so long to not get to compete. — Lori Judkins The energy crisis is a farce. We have enough energy to last for years. Congress is being paid off by energy companies to boost prices. — Keith Ferguson I think we should bomb Iran and wipe them off of the map. — Curtis Hayes If women have equal rights, they should have them in ev- erything. That means being drafted like men. I think women should have equal rights straight across the board. They shouldn't be hired because a company has a quota to meet. — - Dewey Barber I think the Iranian crisis should be solved diplomatically, not by war. Nobody in his right mind wants a war because of all the people that would be killed and the rationing of goods. — Dean Richardson I think Jimmy Carter ought to be re-elected as president. He has been devoting his time to the Iranian crisis instead of campaigning. — Robert Hicks The energy crisis is a hoax. Not only are Americans getting ripped off by high prices, the profits aren't being used to find new and better resources. — Shelly McCalister I think we ought to wait until the Iranians are at a religious meeting. When there are about 15,000 people there, we should drop the bomb. — Vicki Rosebrook Ronald Reagan should be our next president because he has a consistant foreign policy, he wants to increase national de- fense, he wants to give some federal power back to states, and he is a conservative can- didate. — Lisa Due I think ERA is stupid because women were made different than the men. I don't think women are as physically able as men, such as in hand to hand combat. But equal pay for equal work, regardless of sex. — Chris Ake Whenever a person talks of the Iranian crisis, he usually sug- gests, Bomb 'em! But when one considers the fact that it will be his friends and brothers that fight, his attitude changes. I think it should be settled as quickly and peace- fully as possible. — Brenda Littlejohn Women should work if they want to work, as long as they get the housework done. — Rick Hancock Politics are too big of an issue where the Olympics are con- cerned. It's like we are saying, “Now if you Russians don't get out, we're not gonna play your little games. — Frank Craven Equal pay for equal work and equal opportunities for every- one. But still, women should be women and men should be men. — Miss Bush I think the government and people should put more em- phasis and money into the en- ergy sources we have here, such as solar energy, nuclear energy, and possibly thermal energy. We should be an ener- gy independent country. — John Chambers I think Kennedy should be elected president because his brother took a stand in Cuba and he will do the same in Af- ghanistan and Iran. — Dan Vaught It should be up to each athlete personally whether or not to go to the Olympics. Politics has nothing to do with it; if you bring politics into it, you are de- feating the whole purpose of the Olympics. — Julie Whitford The free world should not boy- cott the Olympics because in a boycott, the greatest sacri- fice would be made by the athlete. Russia's loss of com- petitors or of the games them- 38 selves is a small price to pay for what she eventally plans to win in the Middle East ... control of a significant portion of the world's oil supply. — Mr. Cornett I think we should hold some Iranians hostage here until they let our people go. We shouldn't start a war because they may shoot our prisoners. — Jeff Foster Kennedy would make a good president. I think Carter is doing a lousy job and he is full of pea- nuts. — Sheila McCaskill The energy crisis is a big joke. The oil companies have a strangle hold on the U.S.A. They are playing off American citizens by charging high prices. — Billy Cordray I am for ERA in most parts. Women can do a number of things that men can. They should be drafted just like men. It would make the army a lot more fun. — Steve Johnson I think ERA has its good points along with its bad ones. — Debbie Dunsworth I don't think we should go to the Olympics. The Russians might start up something that could lead to war. — Steve Vickers A woman's place is in the home. If the draft is brought back women should be draft- ed and placed on the front line. The only problem is wom- en could not stand the pres- sure of fighting at the front. — Lee Daniel I think ERA is fine to a certain extent but I don't want to go to war. — Lauri Phillips I think we should boycott the Olympics. We should think about what's best for our country instead of how good we'll do at the Olympics. And, by the way. I'm not for ERA. — Cheryl Shoumaker I don't think there really is an energy crisis. Oil companies are saying that to get more money. — Shannon Connor I'm not for ERA. I think equal pay and the same opportuni- ties for everyone but women can't do everything like men. We should not be drafted. — Judy Ward I think Kennedy would be a better president than Carter because he is smarter. — Patty Culp I think we ought to go to the Olympics but have armed guards posted to protect our athletes. I think the Russians are full of bull. — Lynn McCaskill I am not in favor of ERA. I think that if a woman is capable to do the same job as a man, she should get equal pay. But, women should be women. I like being a female. — Michelle Cornish Anybody that can keep his cool during the crisis we are going through deserves an- other shot. I think Carter ought to be re-elected as president. I still wish he would have kept our canal. — Marlena Fletcher I think that we should keep our heads and not do anything that would provoke violence. If the regime in Iran changes, the whole thing could resolve itself. Eventually the head of the Iranian government will put an end to the students' rebellion and let our hostages go. — Mrs. Babich America should go to the Olympics. I've trained too hard to not get to go. In order to save gas, people should drive playdough cars. Women, but not clay heads, should be drafted. And remember, sen- iors, register and vote for Mr. Bill for president. — Mr. Bill WHAT ARE “A friend is a person with whom 1 may be “A friend is long sought, hardly found, and with sincere.

Of course, everyone has his own standards, whether it be the front cover of Vogue or whaf his besf friend happens to think is in style. Generally, according to Seventeen magazine, there are some things that are definitely IN and some that are definitely OUT; however, some people have no idea which are which. Clothes have taken a strange trend from one extreme to another. Nice fitting jeans aren't commonly seen. Either the jeans fit so tightly they cut off the circulation, or they are so baggy they might fall off. Skirts are being shortened; girls actually do have knees. Velour is the fabric for anything from pajamas fo swim suits. As long as a person won't be arrested for indecent exposure, he won't get a second look. Curls are back and everybody's got them. Straight and stringy has been replaced by all kinds of perms. Farrah Fawcett set a trend that will be long lasting. Hot rods are seeing their last days; classy cars and compacts are at their peak. High gas prices have forced many people to ride in car pools. It's a great way to save gas but five people in a Volkswagon is a little ridiculous and a little overcrowded. There are some things that are in at Newcastle. Dipping is back; Floppy Days are here again, pardon the pun. Skoal is the most common form of snuff but there is always Copenhagen for the big boys. Cruising 59th Street is still a big thing for teenagers and probably will be forever. Safari is the disco and bowling is the sport. Tennis and miniature golf are right up there. Watching hockey games is exciting; you can take out all your frustrations and still be normal . Pizza and Big Macs are running neck and neck. Godfather's and Crystal's being the home of the former; but, McDonald's is still my kind of place. There's nothing like sitting at your girlfriend's house on a Saturday night watching TV with her parents because she can't miss Saturday Night Live. Many girls are infatuated with Mr. Bill. UHF has allowed many people to see their favorite reruns from Star Trek to Leave It To Beaver. Charlie's Angels are out but the Dallas Cowboy's Cheerleaders are in, The Dallas Cowboys are in, too, for a few loyal fans, but the Pittsburgh Steelers are sweeping the nation. Tampa Bay Buccaneers is a new favorite among football fanatics. Regardless of what your “thing is or where you do it, style is not a problem.

The Racers started the season as underdogs and last in their district. But that didn't stop the Racers' die-hard determination to win. The Racers had to battle with some of the biggest football powers in the state. And they took them on head first. Even though the Racers didn't win state, or even go to the play-offs, they played better team football and had more class than some of those teams who did.

Coach Stan Looper relinquished last years duty as girls coach so he could concentrate on the boys team. Seven different boys saw considerable playing time. The racers were small again but held their own against much taller opponents. The boys had one of the highest per game averages in the state scoring at a 71 point clip. The racers finished second at the Noble Tournament bringing home to the school a nice trophy. Seven of the racers' losses were from state ranked teams. The racers won more games this year than the past four years combined. Double figure scoring averages for the year were achieved by three starters; Jerry Burnett, Terry Underwood and Larry Hansen. Four racers enjoyed at least one game of twenty or more points; they were Burnett, Hansen, Underwood and Kenny Brown. Another first for the racers this year was the fact that the District Tournament was held in Newcastle. Competing in the district were Blanchard and St. Mary's. The racers enjoyed the best season in a number of years and made basketball respectable in Newcastle.

Lauri Phillips sat out for three weeks with a bad knee, while Tracy Hill was out a week waiting for her doctor's final decision on her knee. Lori Judkins injured her knee in the Blanchard game, which required surgery that same week. The team itself was plagued by lack of experience. Although they were a young team, each game gave them more confidence, agility, and experience, all of which will prove invaluable next year. Sports • 53 High School Wrestling-Row 1: J. Cannon. B.

The competition was tougher with five of the teams ranking in the top 10 of their class, with Harrah and Anadarko in the top five. As the first year of wrestling came to a close, their record ended with 9-7. Mickey Miller was Newcastle's only representative to state. He placed 2nd in the Regional Tournament, 3rd in the State Tournament, and 4th in the Grand State Tournament. 54 • Sports Their second year gave them much experience and even though they moved up a class, the team did well in their tournaments placing 4th at Pauls Valley, 5th at Ada, and 6th in the Midwestern Conference Tournament. Individually, Dale Moses ranked among the top eight wrestlers in the state out of all classes. They are thinking of next year with an optimistic outlook. With eight returning lettermen, they will be prepared for a new season. Sports • 55 SPRING BOYS TRACK Front: J. Cannon. C. Larson. T. Dowling. S. McCalister. S. Ganaway. A. Bryant. T. DeCarlo. R.

IF YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT IT TOO MUCH! 59 60 ACADEMICS James Sanders-Superintendent NEWCASTLE SCHOOL BOARD Seated: Anton Kammerlocher, Jerry White. Standing: James Sanders, Gene Judkins, Troy Wesnidge, Gene McCalister. The Board of Education assumes responsibilities of setting philisophical parameters engendering the highest attainable educational objectives as well as considering all financial exigencies which might affect pedagogical procedures. Concomitantly, the superintendent executes said policies, while principals enact behavior required to encourage maximum learning experiences as directed by the instructional facilitators. Vice-principals, conversely, assume management of errant attendance and lack of promptness in class arrivals. School counselors imbue students with appropriate scholarly aspirations. TRANSLATION: The main concern of the Board of Education is updating school policies and taking care of money. The superintendent carries out the policies. The principals take care of discipline problems while the vice-principals chase down class cutters and dawdlers. Counselors try to fit students into the right classes. 62 • Administration M. W.

The pay isn't that great and the working conditions are terrible. Thirty screaming students and a smoke filled lounge are not the most peaceful atmospheres. Of course, there are some consolations. The hours are good and I get weekends off. But the best thing is knowing that I am helping people make better lives for themselves. And that makes teaching worthwhile.

I guess these students thought they had to have their beauty sleep, but not on my time, quoted Mrs. Lawrence. With a pretty teacher like that, who would want to sleep? But the teachers survived it all. Threats of office visits, extra papers, and point losses, kept the students in line. Betty Kating Sixth Grade Don Kruse Football Coach Sherry Larew H.S.

But these kids really were not trying to annoy the ladies, everyone knows that kids become very hyperactive when lunch time rolls around. These ladies took it all in stride; they had it all together.

Math, science, and English books are still the ones that get lost on the way home. When a person's mind is on all that homework, it is hard to remember where one put his book. Losing one's book is really not a very good excuse for not having your homework. Teachers aren't very sympathetic; they will still give the undeserving student an F. Of course, there are teachers that believe in all work being done in class. It seems those are usually the favorite teachers! There are times when class work is real interesting. Giving book reports, working on the chalkboards, and having group discussions are usually enjoyed by all the students. Basics are unavoidable but they really aren't headaches unless one makes them that way — by forgetting the quadratic equation, or what a predicate nominative is, or the cell theory, or ... 70 TOP PICTURE: Class participation is a definite do”. It not only makes the teachers know you're interest- ed. it makes them pass you so you won't have to sit through that class again. ABOVE: Two seniors dem- onstrate the art of passing time, whether it be wise- ly or not. For some strange reason one seems to make better grades than the other. ABOVE RIGHT: Getting individual help improves grades. After hav- ing the teacher explain it to you two or three times it begins to sink in. There are strick guidelines concerning class room behavior. They must be followed, regardless of the cost. On these pages, the “do's and the “don'ts are demonstrated. The students pictured in the “Don'ts are merely posing; they would never actually do these things. THE DO'S AND THE DON'TS 72 • Basics BELOW: Looking bored is the number one crime in high school. This habit offends teachers, and may reflect on citizenship grades. It is hard to be a good citizen while one's asleep. BOTTOM: Learning by experimentation is a very educational process. Not only does it educate the students; it educates the teachers also. Quoted from Miss Bush, If we don't learn from our students daily, we aren't trying. MB I I Newcastle Public Schools P. 0.

Basics 73 EDUCATION BY MOTIVATION 74 ♦ Electives Education is the cornerstone of American society; the stepping stone of true citizenship. It is more than simply knowing when and where something happened. It is knowing how and why something occurred. Education is using common facts to get original results. Motivation is the beginning of education. Each student must be motivated by something — a teacher, a parent, or, most important of all, himself. A person can be taught, but not always can he be made to understand. Motivation can lead a student to explore his mind and soul; a journey that can lead to wisdom. Electives • 75 While planning an individual students' schedule during pre- enrollment, the counselor always hears, Anything but English! Of course, he has to enlighten these students to the fact that English is a requirement every year. But, besides English, most juniors and seniors can choose the courses they want to take. Freshmen and sophomores have more restrictions but still get to choose some of their courses. 76 • Electives Newcastle High School offered many elective courses from Bible literature to psychology. For the really industrious students, however, there were library and office aides. Each student found his particular field of interest and pursued it, whether it be science, paper airplanes, or strange, but informative, magazines. Electives • 77 Dan Carrel. Jr.-Data Pro.

The Senior year is always looked forward to by all the students. What they don't realize is that you can't stay in “The Class forever. Having fun, goofing off and taking it easy seemed to be the main priority of Seniors. You have to move on-maybe to college or even marriage. The message given to all the lower classmen from the Seniors of 1980 is this: Have fun and laugh and make the best out of your school years because it flies with the passing of time. Seniors • 91 KEITH STANDRIDGE jQaaAtA'iq Nothing could stop the determination of the 1979 Junior class. It would be the best performed play at Newcastle High School. The word drilled into all the actors and actress's minds was practice. Night and day, at school or work, they read over and over the lines that would have to be perfected for the play to be a success. And that it was! The elegant saloon girls to the rough and rugged cowboys; the beautiful Southern belles to the axe-swinging crusaders; the dashing hero to the dasterdly villian; the shiny-star sheriff to the mink-chink ... every actor became his own star. For a brief moment, the Juniors of '79 turned back time to the wild and wooly days of Deadwood Gulch when the towns were filled with cow-pokes and poker-players . The Man Trap Saloon in full swing captured the wild life of the old West. Under the direction of Mrs. Carol Cornett, the actors performed their roles to perfection. Judging by the response of the audiences, Deadwood Dick was a Sure-Fire hit. And to many of the Seniors it still is. VZasAs 0 rfa uZ, 1. Kitty Vickie Ferguson Ned Harris Terry Underwood 2.

They're stilt not on top of the totem pole, but there are still several advantages. For one, there is the opportunity to buy a class ring; for another, the chance to take a wider choice of electives. Teresa Hinkle and Schelina Randleman demonstrated the art of communication to preschool children in speech class. Juniors • 97 FUND TIME 98 • Juniors The Juniors got off to a big start with their record sales of the Gold C Coupon books. They raised over $2500, the largest amount ever raised by a junior class during one fund-raising campaign. They completed their fund-raising for the year with a concert by The Group from Ardmore High School. All the juniors hoped the seniors enjoyed the Banquet-Prom as much as they enjoyed giving it.

To find out, let's compare them with the other classes. Freshman are new to high school; they get put down by upperclassmen and want recognition. Sophomores don't have much to look forward to except getting their drivers' licenses. Seniors are deciding what they will do after gradu- ation. But Juniors don't have to worry about graduation — yet. They look for- ward to getting their class rings and plan- ning the prom. They ony have this year to have fun be- fore they have to worry about what they will do when they graduate, so they live it up .

Joe Brown Al Bryant Jeanette Campbell Joe Cannon Marlene Carlile Tommy Carpenter Shirley Case Monique Copeland Russ Corbin There ate certain jobs that have to be achieved by different classes. Seniors have graduation to think about. Juniors have the Prom. But let's face it. Sophomores have nothing to do. So, every year the Sophs elect officers. These leaders promise their loyalty to their class and promise that they will make this year the greatest sophomore class ever! After all this talk, there isn't really all that much to do. The main event was the planning of their float for the Homecoming Parade, and they must have worked long and hard for they managed to capture third place. 100 • Sophomores Angela Cordray Michelle Cornish Tammy Craven Leah Crawford Patty Culp Joy Daniel Bruce Dawson Susan Day Newman Deavllle Barry DeCarlo Timothy Dunigan Kristen Dye Stephanie Emberlin Greg Fisher Rhonda Fletcher Karla Forehand Howard Furr Stephen Gannaway Jan Goodnight ima Goner Misti Gragg Susan Griesei Vince Guerra Tony Gwinn Richie Hall Ronnie Hancock Ray Hotella Stan Housh Gary Howard Linda Hibbs Randy Hibdon Karrie Hicks Lanila Hill Jody Hinkel Bobby Joy Kari King Bobby Long Pam McCampbeii Russ McKay Stevie Maynard Dennis Maxey Ted Minnis ■ Sophomores • 401 Brian Mitchell Loren Mitchell Lisa Mollett Lucille Modeen Dale Moses Tony Neely Vernon Nelson DWayne Newton Mark Oden Keith Osborn Timmy Paxton Jeff Price Sparky Prudhome Miss Priss Candice Ray Cretia Ray Jeff Reed Vicky Rigsby James Rogers Gary Rollins Kurt Schuringa Tammy Shropshire Jennifer Simmons Tomi Simpkins BATTLING FOR STATUS Those Sophomores! They're really doing it this year. They're emerging from their Freshman shell of insecurity in a grand display of running for offices, trying out for cheerleader, struggling to make the revered football team, joining most other activities Newcastle High has to offer. What is the cause of this sudden surge of interest in our school? For some, of course, it is the recognition and sense of superiority they get by being involved in a school activity. For others, it is the need to belong to some group that is their motivating factor. But for the large majority, these actions are just a part of that age-old and never-ending game called the “Battle for Status 102 • Sophomores LOST PUNK IMAGE What is it that makes some sophomores unbearable, hard to get along with and just plain annoying in some instances? Could it be the cool that each second-year person experiences? Let us look further. Maybe it's because they have advanced beyond the punk image bestowed upon all freshmen and finally believe they are part of the student body. Or since they are no longer the baby class they can now look down on those that are.

By their senior year, they will be amazed at all the changes they have made and the changes that have made them.

BEING A HALL Classrooms have all the fun. That's where the kids hurry to every morning. There's laughing and talking and lots of excitement in all those rooms. There are brightly colored pictures on the walls and lots of books to read. The teachers seem to laugh and have as much fun as the kids. Everyone knows that a classroom is a warm and friendly place to be. Another all-time favorite place is the playground. Lots of room to run and jump and climb. And does it get noisy! Even from a distance, it's music to my ears! And do you know what's the luckiest place of all? The cafeteria, of course. It gets to have lots of people and lots of sounds and some very nice ladies who work there. And here I sit, just a go-between. Please - next time have a kind word for your hall. Maybe even a nice chat. It would sure make my day! Elementary Activities � 121 MOVIN' ON UP!!! Movin' on up! That's exactly what these fifth graders did. Reaching new goals and pacing for new heights brought them another successful year of education.

Third graders raced to read the greatest amount of books. Like all other classes; the third grade was not just fun and games. Somehow the teachers made the process of learning about the universe and energy fun.

Alphabetizing, Dictionary use, punctuation and capitalization usage were only a few language skills mastered by the second graders. The greatest class though. Between math, English, and science; was recess.

There are many “firsts at this time in their lives, staying at school all day, eating in the cafeteria, learning to read, using numbers, and developing skills in music and P.E. It was the desire of the first grade teachers to develop in the child a positive attitude about himself, his ability and school.

Wilson Kindergarton • 133 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The 1980 Racer staff owes a debt of gratitude to many people. If this book is deemed a successful venture, it will be due in part to the help given us by Louann Ward, our American Yearbook Company representative. Since a yearbook is generally judged first by the quality of its photographs, we need to thank a few people outside of our own staff who helped us when we found ourselves short. Saundra Griffith of the Newcastle News bailed us out on several occasions by supplying much- needed sports pictures. Others who manned the camera for us include Lee Daniel, Miss Alice Bush, Mr. George Cornett, and Mark Williamson. We owe so much to Blunck Studios, not just for their individual photos and great candids, but for their patience with us when we vacillated back and forth and back again on senior portraits. It was clearly above and beyond the call of duty on their part. Last, but certainly not least, we wish to thank the administration, faculty and staff who took all our classroom interruptions and invasions with good humor and enormous patience. WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT ALL OF YOU! COLOPHON The 1980 Racer contains 156 pages displaying pictures on all but 26 pages. It was printed by Josten's American Yearbook Company and had a press run of 700 copies. Copy was set in 8, 10, and 30 point Avant Gard type in black. It was printed on 199 dull white paper, the trim size of each page being 7 3 4 X 10 V2. The Racer cover depicts a woodland scene to go along with the original environmental theme. The cover color is green showing the title and date silk screened in gold foil. The end sheets are in gold dust color. 134 RIVERSIDE TRACTOR INC.

Scott Bender The 1980 Racer was compiled to awaken the reader's memory as to the events of this past year. The yearbook staff tried to do this with accuracy and hoped to present it with humor. If any of the content was thought inappropri- ate or offensive to anyone, direct your criticism to the edi- tor who assumes all responsibility. She, however, cannot take all credit. Much thought, work, and sincerity went into this book, and it is hoped that it is more than just a year- book to our readers. 154 • Credits CRITIQUES “A taut, uncluttered thriller ... unnerving ... strikes a deafening chord of terror. — MUNCHKIN DAILY NEWS A gripping and amusing story with much warmth and verve — should be read and treasured for years to come. — CHILDREN'S BOOK REVIEW Cynical, sarcastic, and downright libelous ... should be banned from the shelf of any self-respecting library. — THE CONSERVATION CHRONICLE A giddy leap into nostalgia ... the description of daily life. realistic dialogue, and well-defined characters make this a good read. — THE INFANTILE JOURNAL The reader of this publication must agree that it is a visionary masterpiece, rare and delightful, and one of the greatest works since Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham. ” — THE LIBRARY MONITOR “Their attempt at humor falls flat ... the whole business is an insult to the intelligence of students everywhere. — THE SCARLET CLOAK “This book is utterly breathtaking ... the reader simply can't fathom the pain, the anguish, and the deep committment that each member of the yearbook staff experienced during the creation of this milestone. — DAILY SUN AND NIGHTLY STAR Far out! Really with it! Man, this book quenches my thirst for mystical transcendentalism and surrealistic realism. For clearing the mind, it's as good as yoga. —PHANTOM OF THE ZODIAC Like a bridge has its point of origin, this yearbook has one, too - YOU A bridge has its ups and downs and a purpose in linking two sides together. Likewise, this book is made to keep the events of the year, to link you with your school, with your classmates, with your teachers, with the fun we all had, and with the effort we all made. It is designed to keep the school year 1979-80 alive in our memories both through pictures and through words. In the years to come, it will provide the name to go with the face that we haven't seen in a long time. It will remind us of the score for the big homecoming game that we can't quite remember anymore. And what was the name of that teacher that we all thought was so great? Wonder what he's doing now? « Like a bridge sits on the lake, this book may sit on the shelf. Its edges may get rough and its pages may get torn, but each time you pick it up, it will be like the first time. The memories will be there for years and years to come........ i ,; i -.s . .v . r- ” . - ••■ -x • •• ‘ -« T '- x r-r-' • ----- X „ •: . ■-• •. •... . -J: -• ' .-v . � 7% ' • - . .
