This word could have described the Vikings in almost every way. The most impressionable occur- rence was the teachers strike which began a couple of weeks before school started and ended about two weeks later. Other striking things arose from this crisis such as coaching changes. Among those changes was Nat Watson, new, head foot- ball coach. Coach Watson, with the assistance of Ron Poole led the Vikings to their best season in many years and also their first spot in regional playoffs. Football was not the only at- traction, Roundballers also gave people reason to look twice. The “lady” Vikings, for the first time under the eye of Coach Steele, fin- ished their regular season with an unblemished 22-0 record. The males also made a good show with a 15-7 season record. Vikes were also tops in swimming this year with more than their share engag- ing in state activities. So. with so many successes, and pride even after losses, Vikes completed a year of striking events. Motto posted at Homecoming decorations. “Hot Rod Hawkins runs around J.M. A Striking Year In Many Ways vJE HAVE ENTERE TO LEARN New WE GO FORTH r T0 GERVEw 2 Student Council gave Mrs. Tucker a pari Teacher’s Strike: A Victory Or A Defeat Teachers throughout the Okla. City Public School system went on strike prior to the beginning of school. The purpose was to gain an increase in their pay. North- east was not to be left out among the strikers. The majority of Northeast’s teaching staff, along with other employees joined their comrades in their quest for pay incrases. Representatives of both the teachers and the board worked tirelessly to come to some type of agreement. The beginning of school came and went and still no contract. Some of the teachers re- turned with the students but. many didn’t, thus being temporar- ily replaced by substitute teach- ers. students fresh from college and many dedicated parents. Fi- nally the majority of tne teachers returned to work without their demands being met. Later in the year negotiations continued and in January the pay increase was approved. Teacher s pay was raised according to the degree held and the amount of ex- perience. Finally Oklahoma City teachers were on a pay scale with other educators in their region. Was it worth the battle? 4 Teachers strike got television coverage. Ex-coach, David Watkins walks the line. 5 Coaches Patlon and Thomas stroll the lines. Students stage massive walk-out in sup- port. Teachers Return To Daily Routines Picking up the pieces can prove very trying but Viking students cooperated fully with the staff and soon Northeast returned to some degree of normalcy. Stu- dents were anxious to have their permanent teachers back and the returning teachers were just as they had been, dedicated and en- couraging. Normal may not accurately de- scribe the Vikes routine, for they were under the leadership of a new principal. Mrs. Dorothy Tucker had come to Northeast and with her, she brought her own ideas to improve the North- east quality. Improvement was the goal and with the union of Mrs. Tucker and Viking personal- ities, how could one fall short? Returning to work, Ms. Ransbottom works on. Gassaway Ransbottom lunch togeth- er. M.

At pep assem- blies the viking battle cry could be heard all over the corridors. Students were ex- cited about all the athletic events whether the teams were winning or not. The reason for this zeal lay in the Norseman tradition of never Not only could you hear the vivacity of the Vikes. but you could also see it: in the halls, by signs on the walls, on the bridge at Western, and also in the caravans traveling to the various Northeast activities. Good, clean spirit. Some people were not able to express themselves as clearly. Prop- erty was destroyed, maimed ana abused in an attempt to express enthusiasm in oppos- ing teams. Who has the spir- it? Vikes are the clear choice. Spirited Vikes caravan to the J.M.-N.E. game. Supporters hang out the cars to holster spirits.

The vikings began their task at 4 p.m. and ended at 9 p.m. During this time signs were paint- ed, crepe paper was strung and posters were hung. This years theme was Ain’t No Stoppin Us Now and the Juniors were the first to prove this as they came in first place in the hall decorations with Freshmen second, Seniors third and Sophomores fourth. A little extra help was needed to hang some of the homecoming signs. Dana Dearduff cleans her garage after a sign painting party. Any Ashe looks pleased as she finishes her crepe paper hanging. Sophomores worked hard to complete their homecoming decorations. Assembly The attendenls help in the crowning of the queens. l ashlawn and Jeanette were chosen as M.C.s for the 1979- 80 homecoming year.

Floats Sirloin Stockade's bull was used in homecoming parade. Freshman class officer rode on top of freshman float. Viking float used during half-time show. Floats were used to add an extra attraction in the pa- rade. Each float was built on some type of four-wheeled vehicle that could go at least 15 m.p.h. during the parade. All floats were originally de- signed and built by the classes or clubs. The floats were also used at night dur- ing the football game as part of the homecoming attrac- tion during the half-time show. The Highlight of the home- coming evening was the game. Northeast vs. El Reno. Northeast Vikings went into the game ready to roll but their homecoming victory was denied to them as El Reno beat the Vikings 16 to 0. Although the Vikings lost the game it will still be a homecoming to remember. Football Game Hot Rod Hawkins turns on the juice to gain a few yards. Todd Dye listens as Coach Watson calls next play. Kevin Wilson gets tackled by an El Reno player. The Viking Offensive line sets up for next play. 15 Winky Puts His Talents To Good Use Talent comes in many sizes. With Theodore “Winky” Dick- erson it was in abundance. Though small in size. Winky had an immense amount of tal- ent in the area of art. Drawing since he was able to walk, de- signing the yearbook cover and division pages for the Nordly’s was a small task. Winky not only drew since early childhood, he also partici- pated in little leagure football. Doing so, it seemed only fitting that he take his place amongst the Viking football team. His talent in both areas being close to equal, Winky proved to be a valuable asset to the Norse- men. Door decorations drawn by the Art class.

There are alot more people driving to school and everyone wants to park in the front parking lot. School officials tried to remedy this problem by letting only seniors and fac- ulty park in the front parking lot. This worked for awhile, but then some of the juniors and sophomores thought this didn’t apply to them, so they parked in the front. Seniors tried to take the matter into their own hands by letting air out of the underclassmen’s tires. All this resulted in was getting the underclassmen up- set. But. as the year progressed parking at N.E.H.S. became alot easier for ev- eryone involved. Carla drives around to find a parking space. Where shall I park today. 17 Underclassmen sometimes tried to park in the front. Northeast parking lot was always full. School Cafeteria: A Big Part Of Northeast The cafeteria is where the action is especially during first and second lunch periods when hundreds of students in- vade to ease hunger pains. Mrs. Rose Davis is director of N.E. High School cafeteria. Approximately 600 students were served daily-Monday thru Friday dur- ing the 1979-1980 school year. Mrs. Da- vis said the shorter lunch periods dur- ing the school year didn’t affect getting the students served during the 30 min- ute period. The cafeteria operated on six-week menus. The students favorite dishes were pizza and chilidogs. Among the 1979-80 cafeteria crew in- cluded Mrs. Davis, director; Margie Arinwine. Ophelia Campbell. Marie Daniels, Ricky McCollough, Mary McPherson. Earline Phillips. Annie Proctor. Cynthia Stafford. Micheal Ste- vens. Sammie Upton and Mary Walker. Mrs. Davis helps Mrs. Proctor in hot tray line. Cynthia Stafford keeps her eyes on her fries. 18 i Cleaning was a big part of the cafeteria. Most students enjoyed the food in the quick serve line. 19 Class Pride Provides Unity Class pride is something Northeast students have al- ways had. Having good class pride means having unity, great support and people get- ting involved in each and every activity. The representation of class pride is being proud of your class and school tradition. Each class organization par- ticipated in pep assemblies and cheered the mighty Vikings on to many victories, in sports as well as other events concern- ing Viking pride. The student body found that class pride was one of the great- est things to have at any school and it was always considered number one at Northeast High. Viking fans prepared for the Northeast vs. John Marshall game. Assemblies Meant Togetherness The pep assemblies this year showed outstanding school spirit. Several of the assemblies stood out in everybody’s mind. The John Marshall football pep assembly was probably one of the greatest. All Hell broke loose when a burial casket was carried into the gym and a Bear was hung and put into the cas- ket to rest peacefully after its death. This was a preview of what was to happen that night, as the Vikings really did kill the Bears 15-8. The pep assemblies were led by the cheerleaders and the Student Council. Skits put on by both groups were always in- teresting and humerous. Pep talks by the coaches and play- ers always inspired everyone to give more support to the teams. Student council members put on a skit during the assembly. Coach Nat Watson talks to student body about an upcoming victory. Poncho Johnson and Steve Sumpter get student body ready for a football game victory. 2t 22 Seniors Win Battle Of The Classes The Battle of the Classes is a yearly event held at Northeast. Four students were chosen from each class to represent their class. The Battle of the classes ranged from scooting on the floor to tug of war which was the final event. The seniors proved victorious this year as they won the tug of war to win the overall class competion. Mrs. Shelia Baccus was the ref- eree in the event and she also thought of all the skills to be performed during the assem- bly. Trying to scoot an orange is a difficult task. Where shall I go now? Junior class representatives rolled around on the floor. Freshmen tried to reach the other end of the floor. u Careers In Communications” At Northeast Highschool and Langston University were co- host for “Careers in Communica- tion” on February 26 at N.E.H.S.

The sen- ior class sponsored iron on t- shirts which interested the mind and pockets of the student body. The cake walk was an- other thriller as the parents, teachers and students won cakes. Some of the added attractions this year was the party present- ed by the band and the basket- ball free throw in the boy’s gym. Nachos were supplied by the Spanish club members and crepes were prepared by the Latin club members. Both of these items were very tasty to everyone. Spanish club members sold Na- chos.

This was very exciting for the stu- dents as well as for Mr. Donnel- ly. They each received a jacket, tire guage and tape measure. The school received a Buick V 8 engine for instructional use. The students were hon- ored with a banquet after the convention. There was a time when young people thought that a calf-length dress or a pair of straight leg jeans were old ti- mey, but now they're back in fashion favor. The Glittered shirts and var- ious styles of Sweaters were among fashion favorites, for young ladies. Along with the shirts and sweater pullovers for the young men. Fashion reached right down to the toe with the popular gold tip shoes for the fellows and the Ankle straps for the ladies. Flat shoes are back with the wool skirts and the straight leg trou- sers. Boots have remained fash- ion favorites with Everything from Ankle high to Knee high in assorted styles and colors, in- cluding cowboy boots which are a popular trend. The most popular Jackets worn this year were the Orien- tal Japanese Jackets and the tweed Jackets worn by both the young men and ladies. Too Cold” were the words to best de- scribe these two.

B.Q., then moved into the auditorium for Neil Simon’s comedy The Good Doctor. Jon Williams, Senior, played the part of Auton Chekhov the narrator. The play was origin- ally written for only five actors, but Mr. Jim Clark, director, decid- ed to enlarge the cast so more stu- dents could participate in the pro- duction. The second major show of the year was the award winning dra- ma, A Raisin In The Sun by Lor- raine Hansberry.

They all worked hard this year and deserve a real “Pat on the Back.” Gymnastic members performed to a tune which inspired all. Mrs. Baccus and her students danced to the “Ho Down.” Student Life Autographs Student Life Autographs Student Life Autographs Student Life Autographs Viking Mania Was Always Fun Students were overjoyed after final exams. Alternate cheerleaders built a pyramid. The toughest decision of the day for many students was choosing the right candy bar. Seniors were always on top or bottom, as Reva displays. 41 Vikings Remain Traditional Students rode to the traditional painting of the bridge. Viking students display their artwork. Viking pastimes were enjoyed by all students, whether they were in or out of school. One of the traditional pastimes was the painting of the bridge, bright off of 63rd and Western. The Stu- dents got together with their paint brushes and paint to accom- plish the task of painting the tra- ditional bridge. 4.’ Vikings paint homecoming score on bridge. Physicals Were Fun For All Freshmen Eyes, ears, and throats were only a few of the things examined by the nurse during the freshman physical. Each year the nurse has to conduct a physical on all fresh- man students, as well as, all new students entering Northeast Highschool. Mrs. Griggs says it is a very long task but she enjoys the company of the freshman dur- ing the physical. Tammy looks surprised, as she is weighed on the scale. 43 Students waited in line to take eye examination. New Trauncy Law Curbs “Ditching” At Northeast A new Oklahoma Truancy Law was a major factor in solv- ing the problem of “Ditching” during the 1979-1980 school year at Northest. Among the major steps taken at Northeast to curb “ditching” was a student caught in the hall without a pass was sent home. The parent had to come to school to get their son or daughter admitted. Under the new rules, grades could also be affected by unex- cused absentees. The parents also were held responsible for their children attending school. Under the law, parents could be charged in court if they permit- ted their children to skip school. The new law also increased funds for the Oklahoma city school system, since state fund- ing is based on average daily attendance. Rusty checked for passes in the hall. Mr. Poole checks his DNA list. Secretaries kept parents informed about student absentees. 45 Students wait to be admitted to class.

Are Forever Jane Caldwell and Terri Bond get together on how the layout should look. 66 Journalism III is an extraordi- nary class. The editors of each section, with the help of the staff, helped each and every student to capture cherished memories throughout the year. As a “rookie”, Mr. Leo Reyn- olds did a superior job as advisor. The 1979-80 year was the first year for Mr. Reynolds at North- east. He was the teacher advisor for Yearbook, the “Norseman Scroll” and Journalism I. Each day the students came into class with great enthusiasm to exchange ideas and to continue the production of the yearbook. The 1979-80 Nordley’s year- book acts as a symbol of excel- lence and shows spirit and close- ness of the yearbook staff. Lani Bond is an example of determina- tion and frustration on the day before deadline. Sore fingers are what Debra Dean deals with after typing her assignment. Typing copy and captions is one of the many jobs of yearbook as Jane demon- strates. Tom Demuth watches as Vickie Hill draws a layout. Mark Sanger displays his mark of excel- lence (pictures) to Terri Bond for inspec- tion. Seems like Tom Demuth and Brian Chas- tain are only interested in their work. “The Norseman Scroll” Brian Chastain works on a layout. Wrapping up its 37th year of publication with the May 1980 is- sue, the Northeast High School “Norseman Scroll” staff is looking forward to another successful year in 1980-81. The editorial and advertising staffs are Journalism II students. The staff for fall 1979 included: Donna Daghlian, editor; Roy Espe; sports editor; Demee Gambulos, editorial editor; Kevan Goff, feature editor; and Winston Lewis, advertising manager. The photographers were Troy Owens, Trent Werner, and Steve Silberg. Staff sponsor was Leo Reynolds, a former Oklahoma newspaper edi- tor and journalism instructor at Langston University. As the paper is published every month, the students are continu- ously gathering information. After gathering this news, the students write and edit the stories and headlines. Then the copies are set and the stories are proof- read and corrected. The pages are laid out and paste-up completes the assignment. This being fin- ished, the pages are then sent to the printer where the latest meth- od of printing is used to produce the final product, “The Norseman Scroll”. Cary Acosta enjoys reading the Norseman Scroll. Journalism advisor. Mr. Reynolds is caught taking a quick nap. Tom Demuth types copy for a layout. Mark Sanger say’s “here’s lookin at you”. Cheerleaders Enjoyed Viking Spirit The Varsity Cheerleaders this year attended the National Cheer- leading Association Summer Clin- ic in Norman. They were one of six squads picked from 100 to be nominated for the Award of Ex- cellence. Bringing ice and Gatorade to the football players during sum- mer two-a-days was one way the Cheerleaders helped support the teams. Before attending clinic and dur- ing the summer they practiced four hours a day at Memorial Park. All of the cherleaders got along with each and they feel this is because they are all so close.

Seniors Dazzle On The Field This years fans, coaches, and school spirit were a big part of the Vikings football success. The Vikings lost the regular coaches to the teacher’s strike, but it didn’t affect the team in the season opener as Northeast downed Classen 35 to 0. Nat Watson, the Vikings new head coach, guided the Vikings to a 6-5 season record and to the first round of the state playoffs. The team was eliminated by Jenks, who went on to claim the 3A State Championship. During the season, the Vikings always managed to knock off the big teams as they downed Carl Albert 18-15 and Western Heights 20-13.

The Maroon Marauders were led by three seniors as Ivory Brent canned 18 and Barry Lofton and Steve Smith bucketed 16 each. The Vikes followed up with another donnybrook in a come from behind defeat of Southeast, 52-46. Steve Smith parlayed his best career effort with 19 tallies as the Norsemen got off to a quick 2-0 conference start. The East Central Tourney proved to be as tough as ever when Duncan shot 60% and scored at the :04 mark to edge the locals 60-59. A quick re- match with Capitol Hill gained a 45-38 victory as both teams were lethargic. The record jumped to 4- 1 in the consolation finals as N.E. nipped Stillwater 43-42 behind the inspiring play of Ivory Brent who netted 16. The Vikings con- tinued their listless play in the Byng Classic, scattering Elgin 59- 43 and holding off Graham 62-60 before emerging with their best game of the year in downing host Byng 53-43 and scissoring the Pi- rates 10 game winning streak. The momentum carried over as the Maroon Marauders were abso- lutely brilliant in demolishing John Marshall 68-42 before an overflow crowd of 2,000 fans. “Boo” connected for a game high of 23 followed by Ralph Long with 13 and Ronald Wilburn add- ed 12. The slaughter closed out the 1979 portion of the season as Christmas was sweet for all Vi- king adorers. The new year provided much of the same as Star Spencer was walloped 78-45 as nine players broke into the scoring column. The loyal fans loved it as the tide was turned on the Bobcats from the past three years. The specta- cle that ensued that Friday night was the greatest victory in eight years as the eastside fellas knocked off 1 and unbeated arch-rival Classen, 49-48 on Lof- ton’s last gasp follow shot. Over 4,000 folks witnessed the Maroon Marauders become the 1 team in class 4A for the first time since 1972. The eight game streak was snapped, however, by the Mill- wood Falcons as they edged the Vikes 74-68 behind 64% firepower from the field. A trip to Lawton Mac allowed a quick recovery as the Highlanders fell 61-46. “Boo” was perfect from the field with nine tosses and garnered 17. Wil- burn and burly Ralph Long chipped in with 13 and 10 respec- tively. The homecourt failed the Kelly Avenue Eagles for the 2nd straight game in a 60-58, three overtime crusher to Southeast. The charity stripe was the “Achil- les” heel as only 8 of 16 found the mark. The downswing continued as N.E. visited Trojanland and lost the 2nd straight cliffhanger in a week. 53-52. Lofton again led the Vikes with 22 and Long contribut- ed his finest offensive perfor- mance, zeroing in with 16, but to no avail. Lawton Mac again was the right tonic as the fellas raced to a 56-40 decision. A road trip to Star Spencer gave much motiva- tion and the end result was a 66-32 blitz. “Boo” had 18 by halftime and the reserves played the ma- jority of the 2nd half. The OKC dozen ventured to Capitol Hill and were whipped badly for 2 Vi quarters. With 2:30 to go in the 3rd stanza the Vikes found themselves down 39-22. What happened after that was the greatest comeback in Coach Steve Hudson’s tenure. The Norsemen went ahead for the only time in the contest with :08 showing on the clock when Ivory Brent, the big “I”, hit underneath on an assist from Ronnie Wilburn. A shot at the buzzer by the Hill was off the mark and N.E. pre- vailed 55-56. It was a bitter pill for former Viking ass’t Jim York and ex-Viking star Lance Cudjoe as the Hill succumbed for the fifth straight time to Hudson’s hustlers. A repeat performance wasn’t to be against John Marshall as the ship wrecked, 59-60. The Vikes couldn’t recover after falling be- hind by as much as 12 in the 3rd period. The rematch with the Comets was dubbed at Central State Univ. before 3,500 specta- tors. A narrow 19-18 intermission lead evaporated quickly as the Comets won, going away 57-43. The worse was yet to come, though, as the team bottomed out, losing to the Falcons of Millwood 79-53. A great deal of soul-search- ing was necessary and three grueling practice sessions later, the Vikes ripped Douglass 62-52 to improve their record 15-7. Lof- ton closed out his home career with a superb performance, re- cording 24 big points. Brent and Wilburn busted 12 and 11 apiece. The lightening-quick gang then punished Choctaw 75-64 in the re- gional opener which saw “Boo” punch 22, Brent and Smith 15, Willy 13, and Tony Jackson 8. A much improved Spencer team employed a stall game to try and derail the previous massacres and the strategy allowed the Bobcats to close the gap, but the final was still 45-40, N.E. The win pushed the record to 17-7 and gave Hud- son his third regional champion- ship in his six years at the helm. The next outing saw the OKC powerhouse travel to Catoosa to take on fast-pace Bixby. An out- standing effort and Lofton’s 2nd winner of the season catapulated the Marauders into the State tour- ney for the 3rd straight time in 104 “Boo” Gets All-State Honors the last four spring festivals. Bixby entered the shoot-out with the highest offensive in the State and they were held 15 points un- der their average. The greatest and most unbe- lievable victory occurred when, on March 13, the Vikes upset 1 ranked Bartlesville Sooner 54-53 in a storybook finish. The Spar- tans scored with one second left but a technical gave Ralph Long a chance to cut the score to 53-52. Then, on the inbounds pass, soph- omore, Walter Jones, hit a 30 foot shot to propel the maroon outfit into the state semi-finals. Barry Lofton had a career high of 26 points despite fouling out with four minutes to play. The semis produced arch rival Classen and N.E. controlled the game the first three quarters and also took a 28-21 into the final 8 minute drama. Several question- able calls and the hot shooting of the Comets quickly changed the game and the Marauders were dealt a 42-34 setback. The produced many highlights, however. The Vikings won a state tourney game for the 1st time since 1972 and won the most games (19) since that year, also. The team didn’t fold when they lost Taylor Kemp as many expect- ed. The direction of coaches Steve Hudson and Dempsey Patton was indeed remarkable down the stretch. Barry “Boo” Lofton was instru- mental in the success and was re- warded with 1st team All-Confer- ence, All-City, and named to the Oklahoma All-State team. Other seniors who will be missed by Vi- king fans are, defensive stalwart Steve Smith, powerful Ralph Long, and all-around talent Ivory Brent. 105 Vikes Success Limited By Comets Varsitv Rnva Scoreboard N.E.

Hawkins Eyes State With Other Runners i This years track team was probably the strongest ever coached by Archie Jones. The optimism was because of qual- ity, returning individuals. Many of the school record-hold- ers such as, Todd Dye (880 run), Mike Parker (long jump), and other talented tracksters. Though the Vikes didn’t fare as well as expected in the season’s meets, their 2nd place finish in the state tourney was well de- served. Rodney Hawkins was first in 100 yd. dash while Ran- dy Mack placed 3rd in the long jump in state. There were more impressive victories in the state tournament with more ex- pected next year. Todd Dye sets the pace. 115 Front Row: R. Davis. S. Carpenter. B. Heath, R. Hawkins, S. Sumpter, A. An- derson, Middle Row: M. Wilkers, R. Fisher, K. Washington, M. Payton, K. Wilson. T. Williams.

Wrestling Team Had Little Success The Northeast Wrestling team worked hard and continued to show their spirit even though they had little success this year. The team was hampered by injur- ies throughout the season and in some matches they forfeited more weights than they wrestled. At the All-City meet Matt Col- lins took the first place trophy at the heavyweight position, while John Leaf and David Darby both finished strong also.

Mrs. Mary Denny Changes In Secretaries And 2. Ms. Barbara Jordon 3. Ms. Wanda Beard 4. Miss Roach Secretaries and student aides worked hard to keep attendance up to par. The school year was different in many aspects. A few of these dif- ferences were in the administra- tion. Northeast received a new principal in the forms of Mrs. Dorothy Tucker and Mr. Cole, re- spectively. Dorothy Tucker was a first for Northeast, being both black and female. Mrs. Tucker got acquainted with the procedures and facilities very quickly and preceded to initiate some of her own ideas as to how school and attendance could be improved. As we all learned that she did not tol- erate “ditching” and tardiness. The secretaries had a shakeup too. Many of the former secre- taries returned to find new co- workers. They combined their forces to provide Northeast with efficient, cordial service. Some changes were made in the han- dling of absentees but the atten- dance secretaries, along with as- sistants and student ideas, kept abreast of all the action and main- tained a record on each student. The financial office was altered also. The new Financial secre- tary, Mrs. Denny, managed that change too. Although at the be- ginning the going was rough, she adjusted quickly. 130 Mrs. Denny found managing money a little harder than she expected. Administration Means More Work Mrs. Dorothy Tucker Mr. Ron Poole Mr. Tyrone Cole Mrs. Tucker discusses her new ideas with a student. Mr. Poole chats with a parent about absen- tees.

The counslers after a slow start finally got things going. The first few weeks the load fell on Mr. Powell, he being the only counsler not on strike. To Mr. Powell the strike was quite an ex- perience, not on the picket lines, but in his office where all the stu- dents gathered. Upon the return of the other two counslers, Mrs. Scobey and Mrs. Chapman, the daily routine of schedule changes and transfers returned. A lot of time was spent in the cafeteria, supervising var- ious tests given over the year. Taking the tests was the job of the students, while the counslers had the tedious job of sorting the re- sults and making sure the scores were sent to the proper places. Hectic as it was, it was also a joy for the counslers to be in on the educational outlook of the stu- dents. They were there to help the students prepare for their col- lege and adult life and with the goals achieved the purpose of the counslers at Northeast was ful- filled. Mr. Powell and Kevan Goff look through students schedules. r Mrs. Chapman checks on a students schedule. Mr. Powell adds a little excitement to counseling. 132 Nurse And Librarian Keep Things In Order Two years ago, Northeast ac- quired a nurse who is still here. Mrs. Pat Griggs, R.N., stayed with Vikings through tough times be- cause she enjoys working with people. At Northeast Mrs. Griggs’ days were always busy. Students came to her for care when they weren’t feeling well. She also had to main- tain immunization records on all Vikings, a tetious and time con- suming job, but one done well. Miss Crosley, the librarian, fin- ished her second year at North- east. Her year was quite hectic with the RIF program, in which she helped, starting this year. RIF wasn’t the only new books at Northeast, the library also added many books to their shelves to keep them up to date. Equipment, such as the microfiche was added to the library for student uses. Many duties were thus placed on Miss Crosby but with the help of student aides she maintained an efficient, informative and rela- tively peaceful library. Odessa Curry, in charge of the audio visual department, kept track of the equipment such as films, projectors, recordplayers, etc. She also ran the copy ma- chine where many teachers sent tests and quizes to run off. With her time full, Mrs. Curry enjoyed a full year at Northeast. Kelly Casey has her Blood Pressure checked after the John Marshall Pep Assembly. Janie Whitmarsh studies with the Microfish in the library. 133 John Martin studies intensely. Learning Center Improves Students Skills Students with special problems in certain areas of learning cen- ter. These classes helped students improve their skills in certain aca- demic areas. The students in these classes are given special at- tention that they could not obtain in a regular classroom. The parents of the students must approve his or her child be- ing placed in the learning center. When the parent approves the teacher begins working with the student in the area in which they are having a problem. When the students begin improving they are placed back in regular class- rooms to continue their work. After the students are placed back in the classroom a special guidance counselor aides the stu- dents. Mr. Hall smiles as one of this students an- swers a question correctly. Mrs. Foutz looks through a history book to assign questions to her students. 1« Foreign Language Department Prospers Every year the enrollment of the Foreign Language Depart- ment increases. This partially is due to the growing awareness of the benefits to be received from studying either Spanish, French, German, or Latin. Such as learn- ing the structure of our own Eng- lish language. Students realized that even though classes were not easy they were very exciting. Many of them enjoyed hearing different sounds and learning the alphabet in a dif- ferent language. Students occa- sionally sang songs to change the atmosphere in the classroom. Al- though a few found it difficult to sing in a foreign language, the time spent in class was always an enjoyable experience. Again this year the four classes took part in the All City Foreign Language Day at Saint Lukes United Methodist Church in downtown Oklahoma City. Each department set up a booth dis- playing items such as food, arts and crafts, or clothing from that Thr Foreign Language float was prepared particular Country, for the homecoming parade.

New Teacher To Staff Northeast’s Journalism Depart- ment not only has a whole new group of students but also, a new teacher Mr. Leo Reynolds, he now takes the place of our long- time teacher Judy Swafford who was given sick leave for the re- mainder of the year. Mr. Reynolds has lead the Newspaper and Yearbook Staff to several money-making events for the month of October already. Not along ago Mr. Reynolds spon- sored a seminar held annualy at the Oklahoma University in Nor- man Oklahoma, which helped the student benefits in various ways. Students from a variety of high schools helped celebrate this com- ing event, to help make the semi- nar possible. Not last but least. The Year- book Staff has two new editors they are Rossalyn Hill: Senior and Cynthia Harris: Senior. Both young ladies have dedicated their time to help make this yearbook the best ever. Journalism Dept. Adds Sharon Bowler watches as Cynthia Harris draws a final layout. Vickie Hill shows two Journalism students how to pre- pare a layout. 136 English Dept. Offers New Program I This year the English depart- ment sparkled many imagina- tions. It also featured many courses. The upperclassmen en- joyed classes like mythology, world literature, and Creative writing. Students found these classes more intriguing than the required courses. The English Department was affected more than any other de- partment by the accountability program. The program consisted of a testing program and instruc- tion which was monitored. Mrs. Mary Jones, head of the English department said the main goal was to get all students read- ing on a functional level. Mrs. Jones also feels that the program will be a success. Mrs. Gladys Jones talks to students about the importance of English. English students study literature in their english books. 137 New Science Classes Added Willie Baker Kenneth Edmond Charles Gassaway Dewey McClellan Willie Reynolds Keith Gardner Laura Barnett Jill Clifford A physiology student exams something very inter- ing under a microscope. The Science Center at North- Ted Mitchner east headed by Mr. Willie Baker serves all of the Oklahoma City Public Schools. The Center is of- fering Advanced Placement Mike Holland Courses which have never been available before. The advanced classes are offered in Biology. Physics, and Chemistry. These classes are offered to seniors and can be credited toward college credits. Another new class this year is the Science Seminar class. These are research oriented courses in- volved in writing papers for the Junior Academy of Science. Science classes usually meet two hours every other day, and include: Human Physiology, Geol- ogy, Microbiology, and Meteorol- ogy. Four new teachers have been added to this years science staff. They are Jill Clifford, Keith Gard- ner, Mike Holland, and Ted Mitchner. 138 Students observed a part of the human anatomy. Math Dept. Prospers Math has always been consid- ered as a difficult class to be en- rolled. Although this may be true, many of the students find math a challenge as the classes continue to increase in enrollment every year. The advanced math classes such as Algebra, Algebra II, Trigonometry and Calculus have even begun to show an increase. Many of the teachers find it in- spiring that more students are en- rolling in more of the math classes offered. Mrs. Berline Watson, head of the math department, be- lieves that students are realizing how valuable math can be in their future. Other members of the math staff are Annette Gravitt who teaches Calculus, Trigonom- etry, Algebra II, and Elementary Algebra; Phoebe Revelle who leaches General Math; David Watkins who teaches Elementary Algebra II and Consumer Math; and Charles Ledbetter who teach- es Algebra II and General Math. Math was sometimes a complicated subject for students. 139 t f Taking Care Of “Business” Mr. Woods checks students grades in ac- counting. The Business classes at North- east consist of Accounting, Typ- ing, General Business, Shorthand, and COE. The classes are always full of students ready to enter the life of business. Student study business and economic matters but, Money management is greatly empha- sized in these classes. Mrs. Best, head of the Business Department teaches COE and Ac- counting and Shorthand. Mrs. Best is always ready to answer any questions. Mrs. Barbara Albritton is the newest member of the Business Dept. She teaches Typing I II. Mr. Wood teaches Typing I, Ac- counting, and General Business. Business is one of the most help- ful elective classes toward help- ing you in your future life of Busi- ness. An accounting student reads the lesson assigned by the teacher. Mr. Woods chats with students about ac- counting. 140 History Sam Chaney Fxidie Davis Steve Hudson Brent Miller Mr. Woodside watched over students as they worked. Ron Miller Willie Thomas Dale Woodside History which is suppose to re- peat itself, may not seem to do so for many students who enroll in the classes for more than one year. This year teachers put a strong emphasis on oral reports. They believe this would make the students more aware of their his- tory by reading information and gaining knowledge of their own. Many teachers started the week with a short lecture and then gave an assignment such as reading the chapter or answering a few ques- tions on the lecture. When the teachers wanted to change the monotiny in the classroom they viewed films over history. Psychology and Sociology is an- other form of Social Studies; it helps students communicate with people they know nothing about. This was a very important step in Psy Sos. Students enjoyed the de- versified activities of the class- room as they sometimes had guest speakers and even went on field trips. Although each teacher in- struts their class in a different manner the students still seem to enjoy the time spent in the class- room and the excitement of realiz- ing that they are learning. Mr. Thomas grades lest from the previous day. Coach Hudson takes time out to read a cur- rent event. 141 Fine Arts The Fine Arts Department was designed to enable students with useful skills and hobbies to per- fect their talents. The classes in- volved were instrumental music, vocal music, arts and crafts, stage production and modern dance. Instrumental music and vocal music performed during assem- blies in the auditorium. The hard practice during school and after school was very rewarding for each member of both groups be- cause they provided the audience with music which was always pleasing to the ear. Arts and Crafts a skill that can be used for many years was al- ways a fun class for students. The students learned how to macrame and make wall hangings which could always be used in the home as a decorative ornament. Stage Production aided in each assembly, the students in this class learned how to operate the light fixture in the auditorium to provide each assembly with the right amount of light. Stage Pro- duction always provided props for the assemblies and backgrounds which were always constructed by their own hands and it gave the stage a touch or look of profes- sionalism. Modern Dance perfected stu- dents skills in dancing. Modern dance was primarily composed of young ladies, but there were a few young men who were willing to perfect their dancing skills. Modern dance students per- formed during assemblies. The students hard work always proved profitable as they were cheered by their audience after each performance. Mr. Alvin Jernigan Mrs. Emily Philpott Mr. James Clark Mr. Gerlad Hedges Modern Dance students performed during home- coming assembly. Mrs. Vivinette Lewis Mrs. Kathleen Ransboltom Mr. Jernigan directed the stage band during home- coming assembly. 142 Domestic Arts The Northeast Domestic and In- dustrial Arts Department gives students “hands-on” experience. These courses are designed to prepare a graduating student for the opportunity to go directly on the job. Among the courses are Welding, Woodwork, Auto Me- chanics, Cosmetology, Cooperat- ive Vocational Education, and Home Economics. In the Industrial Arts Depart- ment Welding allows the student to work with metal and welding. Projects that were sold for club funds were a big part of the course, along with a lot of prac- tice. Auto Mechanics gave stu- dents a chance to repair and ana- lyze problems that come along with almost all cars. In wood- work, students learned to shape, cut, and design wooden projects of all kinds. Cosmetology is for stu- dents who are interested in the field of beauty work. The students work with make-up and hair-care procedures along with manicures and other practices. In the Domestic Arts Depart- ment, Cooperative Vocational Education and Home Economics were offered to give a student some insight on how living at home in the real world is like. Home Economics included sewing and cooking, and many other use- ful skills. CVE taught students about nutrition, cooking, and re- lated sujects. Alan Norton smooths out the rough spots on his welding ornament. Cosmotology students practice their skills on students in the class. Physical Education Was Co- educational Physical Education is one of the many funfilled classes taught at Northeast. Each class begins the day with a few exercises and the proceeds the day with and excit- ing activity that ranges from vol- leyball to softball. Physical Edu- cation which is believed to be one of the most easiest classes at Northeast, may not have been to many students as they had diffi- culty performing some of the more strenous exercises. The continuing of the mixture of males and females in the gym classes has proven to be very edu- cational. The students have found they are able to get along well with each other during the fun- filled activities as well as in a classroom working. Coach Archie Jones and Shelia Baccus taught all physical Education classes. Two P.E. members wait to change back into their clothes. Demetrius got the dunk he had been waiting for. Basketball drills were always fun. 144 Spider; A Jack Of All Trades Cary Acosta Karen Adamson Ladonna Allen Cindy Armstead James Atkinson Ray Augustine David Austerman Lori Avery Phillip Baker Majorie Baker Terri Ballon Steve Barczak Monty Bear Todd Bedingfield Stuart Bell Deborah Binkley 146 Seniors At Work John Brett and Jaketa Smith observe test Seniors pretend to work during library time, grades.

To prove their importance to Northeast they attended pep assemblies, football games, and many other to cheer the Vikes on to victory. Accomplishments in their freshman year show how well they will do later on and pro- vides the main objective of their high school years. This is to become seniors and go out into the social and business worlds and achieve their hopes and dreams. The start of each year is a time for the upcoming fresh- men to start experiencing new and exciting adventures in their life. It is a time to remem- ber and cherish because fresh- men are just coming up from ju- nior high and they are also starting a new life at Northeast high School. It is also a time to begin thinking about the future ... thinking about what to do when graduating and what the world beyond the doors of Northeast will hold in store for them. Freshman year is a year to always and forever keep in the heart and mind. 184 Students discuss assign- ment in class.
