Oakton’s first assembly of the school year featured the rock group called First Gear, which came here from Florida. The talented members of the group were Don Perry on trombone, Willy Gillm- our on trumpet, Alfens Rettner on guitar, Spanky Terry Haschen on drums, James Ourmkey on the keyboard and Bill Sandens on bass. As well as performing compositions by popular recording artists, the hand played many of their own original arrangements. Students responded enthusiastically to the music and a few brave souls went on stage and danced. While the music was good, the highlight of the assembly came when everyone learned how magnificently Mr. Flerndon and Mr. Neal could twist. Many students enjoyed the assembly so much that they returned the following evening to hear more of the First Gear. 24

“Though we stand in life at midnight, I have a dream. He’s allowed me to go to the mountaintop and I’ve looked over. I’ve seen the promised land. I have a dream that we are, as always, on the threshold of a new dawn, and that we shall all see it together. ” Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King , Jr. Black History Week ■ 26
