The Tiger 1988 Newkirk High Sthool Newkirk, OK 74647 Volume 39 Tear into fates...........6 Tear into involvement . . 68 Tear into attion.........90 Tiger Pulse.............113 Tear into tomorrow ..122 Young faces, new faces, old faces... sad faces, glad faces, stone faces... unsure faces, experienced faces, veteran faces... all kinds haunted the halls of HHS during the 1987-88 year. Freshmen eagerly anticipated their first year as high school participants. Sophomores fell into the swing of things after finishing their apprentice year. And the juniors and seniors maintained the awesome sophistication that is seemingly required of upperclossmen. All worked together, along with faculty ond staff, to provide enthusiasm, excitement, and progress to a fast-paced year. There were high times ond low times, good times and bad, but everyone greeted each challenge, survived, and faced the future with determination.

For many at HHS this escape was found in involvement of another type, involvement in organizations. Providing a means of escape for everyone was no easy task, but HHS rose to the challenge. FFA, student council, cheerleaders, chorus, FCA, bond, yearbook, SCION, and academic bowl oil furnished a variety of escapes to students. And through these involvements, many new and valuoble insights were gained, insights that will eventually help each student escape into adulthood. £ £ •V. £ •X £ •r. £ •a 69 A® x o The V yearbook staff came “flying into the school year selling yearbook sponsorships and boosters to finance the 1988 yearbook. These ef- forts combined two grueling days of pounding the pavement and giving sales pitches. With a major part of the financ- ing finished, next on the agenda was the yearbook assembly which proved both original and different. Instead of an assembly, the entire student body was transported to the football field to create a twenty yard 1988. An aerial picture was then taken which launched the be- ginning of a successful yearbook sales. It was then time to steal a computer. Mrs. Klugh graciously loaned her computer to the year- book staff which sped up copywriting and revision. But each member still had to perfect the art of preparing layouts, cropping and scheduling pictures, and brain- storming for ideas. The steady sounds of tapping typewriter keys and panicked cries from the staff were a few of the hints that proved the coming of one of the four deadlines through- out the year... but as anyone can tell the yearbook is completed, and hopefully it is the best NHS has ever had!

Student council members began preparing early in the summer for an exciting year when several members attended Basic Leader- ship Workshop. Then before school started officers met and dis- cussed the year's activities. Creating spirit in special ways by gathering together the student body for dances, assemblies, and other events was the student coun- cil's main goal. Stuco sponsored the back to school dance, homecoming festiv- ities, candy canes, spring break out, Sadie Hawkins, and numerous other activities. Under the guidance of Royce Caldron, the members were led by Scott Bilger, president; John Lob- singer, vice-president; Heather Pratt, secretary; Dan Kahle, treas- urer; and Candace Layton, report- er historian. Through extra hours and extra work, every member of Stuco, from advisor to officers and down to the freshmen, felt that they had achieved their goals and that the year was truly a success.

Participants in the '87-'88 year not only beautified the community and Pride Park but also took several trips “abroad. Those field trips included visits to the Wichita Zoo for an after- noon, Lake Afton Observatory to gaze at the stars once the sun had gone down, and to Newton Memorial Hospital's Pathology Lab in Winfield. Officers of SCION were John Lobsinger, president; Christi Wing, vice-president; Samuel Murray, secretary-treasurer; and Heather Pratt, reporter-historian. SCION also held a small seminar on science projects and the Junior Academy. It included guest speaker Mr. Pigg and offered tips on improving science fair projects.

Those receiving a superior rating at district travelled to Stillwater for the state competition. Tri-State, one of the biggest events of the year, came during the first week of May. There were several students who participated in the honor band and symphony. Many also performed solos and ensembles. With a new director this year, there were many revisions and changes made.

These words sum up the feeling that the NHS cheerleaders produced for the '87-'88 school year. With this feeling in the air, stu- dents and fans soon caught the contagious disease, Spirit, by making the Wave at games and matches, large participation at pep assemblies, and especially the in- famous Tin Can Band. Do not let them fool you though; it was not all play. They put in many dedicated hours preparing for the year, beginning in the sum- mer at the DCA Cheerleader Camp, where they received third place. The addition of two new spon- sors, Traci Bennett and Sue Burkett, boosted the morale of the cheerleaders and assisted them in practice, games, and various fun- draisers. These fundraisers includ- ed bake sales, car washes, and grade school mini clinics. From their hard work they received two new uniforms for a new look. Cheering for the teams, going to pizza parties, and doing things for the players are memories that each cheerleader will cherish.

And when we lost, we suffered — and then we celebrated. It's trite but true — it’s not whether you win or lose, it's how you ploy the gome that counts — and we played the very best we could. And that is always worth celebrating. Athletes teamed up in all sports — football, basketball, wrestling, and track — determined to provide a year of suspense ond action for all fans. And that is exactly what happened. Although it was not a year of victory upon victory, it was a year of learning and rebuilding.

Hyped with spirit, will, and determination, the 1987-88 Lady Tigers experi- enced few victories but played an exciting brand of basketball. Even though the team under new coach Byron Burkett was rebuilding, senior leadership provided a source of inspiration. The Lady Tigers' schedule was very demanding as they played many of the top-ranked teams in the state. They also competed in two of the top tournaments in the state. With the 1987-'88 Newkirk Lady Tigers performing with great fight, the basketball games were not only an activity but a great happening.

Basketball teams thrived on it during games, football players survived it through two-a-days, and wrestlers used it to pull five (pounds, that is). But for members of the girls' and boys' track teams, teamwork was a more abstract concept. Through hard work and perseverance indi- vidual tracksters amassed points for the team standings at meets. Individually, the boys dominated with four men tracksters placing at the state track meet held at Yukon.

Scot strives to be all he can be There comes a week every year when the breezes get cooler and routines become set in con- crete and an indescribable ex- citement hangs over the halls and classrooms of NHS. Homecoming week may have seemed like some kind of pagan ritual to outsiders, but for stu- dents its arrival was a confirma- tion of fall and a chance for the student body to get crazy to- gether. To begin the week, Monday students wore ties, and on Tues- day students wore jams; by Wednesday everyone had gone crazy. On Thursday the Romans invaded and most wore bed- sheets giving them a sophisticat- ed “toga” name. Thursday also brought the final rush of perfect- ing skits, decorating, and making last minute touch-ups. Friday culminated the plan- ning, painting and painstaking work which accompanied home- coming week. The bricks of the walls had disappeared under lay- ers of signs, designs, and blue and gold streamers. Posters threatened to Sack Sperry, and students came prepared in their traditional blue and gold outfits. Excitement continued into the evening with spirited cheer- leaders, mums, and Toga with the Tigers t-shirts. It was an- nounced that the Sophomore Class received the traveling tro- phy, an honor given to the class with the most participation during homecoming week. The 1987 Homecoming cli- maxed with the crowning of Queen Kelle Shafer. After a week of preparation and unity, home- coming was a big success. David Benham's Diesel and Auto Service 210 S.

Students showed that spirit shines bright as they ventured out in their cheap sunglasses. The afternoon assembly featured numerous teachers demonstrat- ing their hula-hooping ability. Mrs. Klugh was Hula-Hoop Queen with her record time of forty-five sec- onds which outlasted the others by at least thirty seconds. That was followed by the Mr. Cool con- test with Steve Perkins and Tan- ner Rippe competing. The assembly ended and NHS realized that the real Fun in the Sun would begin as the wres- tlers took on Pawnee. Senior can- didate Christy Dowler was crowned queen by senior escort Dustin Glenn.

NHS went back in time and the modern dress went to the traditional poo- dle skirts, letter sweaters, black leather jackets, bobby socks, and saddle shoes. During the homecoming as- sembly the cheerleaders did a dance around the juke box and proved to the student body that the Tigers top the charts. Alum- nae cheerleaders Joanne Cary and Jan Sewell added spirit with yells from the 50’s. But perhaps the crowning of senior queen Angela Payne by senior escort Scott Bilger was the highlight of the evening. The queen’s attendants included jun- ior Jennifer Olsen escorted by Bo Dye, sophomore Cristi Cain es- corted by Billy Hobbs, and fresh- man Misty Horinek escorted by Brad Deibler. The queen followed by her at- tendants paraded off of the court to Elvis' classic, Love Me Ten- der,” and reigned over the re- mainder of the boys' ballgame. Guys and Dolls 121 W.

In the opening ceremonies, the juniors presented the prom to the seniors. The ode to the seniors was given by Mr. Caldron, and then it was time to line up for the traditional grand march. After parading down the sidewalk, the couples found themselves walking through a tunnel onto a beautifully decorated dance-floor, with music by the band, White Rock. The cafetorium was decorated with tables covered in blue, hearts and arches made of balloons, park benches, and a buffet of several different kinds of finger foods.

After a long bus ride and pizza at Showbiz, the class of '88 hit the roller coasters, water rides, and shops of Six Flags over Texas for an eventful evening. The last opportunity for the seniors to be together as a group before graduation was when the time came for them to will un- derclassmen the ability to be as great as the seniors and to have as many misfortunes as the seniors. The assembly was a time to share, mostly the things they would rather forget. These events capped the end of the seniors' high school career. The seniors will always remember the good times and good friends that were made in Newkirk High School. Senior Endings Newkirk Chamber of Commerce P.O. Box 290 Newkirk, OK 74647 A future career?

Speaker for the exercise, Mr. Frosty Troy, editor of the Oklahoma Observer, glorified Oklahoma and gave a sense of idealism to the seniors. One by one each senior's name was called and each walked across the stage to receive his diploma. Golf balls were given to Mr. Sinor and flowers were given to the senior parents in appreciation of their hard work throughout the years. To the seniors of 1988, we cannot say goodbye, but we can say Auf Wiederzahn, until we meet again. Tee it up. The seniors bid Mr. Sinor a final farewell. Concentration.

Let us take this book and the time spent therein to reflect upon all that was accomplished in the school year 1987-'88 — through victory and defeat, through happy times and sad, through achievement and failure.
