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.

FEELING FREE AND ALIVE The Future Farmers of America have always been a prominent group at Newcastle since Newcastle is mainly agricultural. 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.
