The Shiloh Cumberland Presbyterian Church has been designated by the State Historical Survey Committee as a Texas historical site. The building, erected in 1872 was remodeled during their centennial. The home of Mrs. Paul Jonte and the late Mr. Jonte was one of the first two-story houses constructed in Red Oak. The 11-room white frame structure was built in 1917 for Mr. and Mrs. G.L. Ligon of hand picked lumber. The cost was about S3,000. It features a tile-like metal roof that was added in 1927. At X, , ,..s.,.s.a.

During that same year. the cornerstone was laid for this two-and- one half story building that was constructed for a total cost, of S11,000. The red brick structure housed Red Oak students for 50 years until fire from faulty electrical wiring in a gym caught the main building also and they were both destroyed in May, 1963. . Q.

About a mile south of its present location, the town sprung upalong the creek that gave it its name. Texas was still a republic then and Anson Jones was its president. In the late 1880's representatives of the MK8cT railroad came to town to acquire right of way to lay down tracks that would link Dallas to Waxahachie. It was said there was much opposition to the coming of the railroads as citizens did not wish the tranquility of the little town disturbed by the whistling of locomotives. As a result of thebickering, the tracks were laid to the northwest of the settlement. Soon, however, businesses were attracted to the railroad and the town was moved on wooden wheels connected by axles and drawn by mules. One two-story drug and dry goods store owned by the Wicker Co. took 16 mules and two weeks to move. During the move, heavy rains simply stopped the progress. The mules were unhitched, business car- ried on as usual until it was dry enought to move again. From the establishment of the postoffice in 1851 to the first bank in 1904, growth continued with the town incorporated in 1949. Along with the early settlement was the beginning of a school system. There were subscription schools ti- nanced by the students' parents and a number of smaller districts until 1912 when Red Oak and Ashwood were consolidated into the Red Oak Inde- pendent School District. Lightning and electrical wiring were responsible for tires in 1913 and 1963 that destroyed the school's buildings. A 1909 fire consumed much of the downtown business district when the towns residents were unable to put out the blaze because there was no water. The lack of water kept the gin from operating that year, also. fx At Bells Chapel Cemetery Senior Rickey Hooper looks at a grave marker that dates to the 1800 s Founded in 1875 by the Methodist Church the oldest grave in Bells Chapel is that of Jodie M. Bell, who was buried in 1878. He was the grandfather of Glen Bell who resides southeast of Red Oak.

A new 51.25 million high school building, the fourth building constructed during the past seven years, is scheduled for opening in August. 1976. Cotton fields west of Red Oak have been quickly converted into curving streets lined with new homes set on pleasant. wooded lots. One of the newest church buildings in town, this white brick structure was completed in 1971. Pecan Creek Drive is a well-kept residential street with all underground utility lines. 8 present ,mei ' -we ' ' F-H '- W Y' lly. 9 Q il 4 'Ha try: gf q.,...,, 41,111-fzytfei, ,W :AJ if if ,x , fi 1 2 K . .

From a Class B conference only four years ago, the school has moved through Class A and will compete in Class AA with the beginning of the fall term in August. From less than 20 teachers in 1966, the faculty will consist of nearly 60 next year. All of the growth in the Red Oak school district is indicative of the changes in the community. New housing additions that stretch from Shadow Wood and Hampton Acres on the west to Pecan Hill and Buttonwood Estates on the east and south have brought new faces, new students into the district. Not only have more houses been built. but commercial construction has experienced some growth, as well. From new school buildings to gro- ceries, restaurants and a new bank building, there are signs the commun- ity is changing. Families, tired of the confines of big city living have sought acreage, trees, a small creek--about the same criteria settlers looked for nearly a century ago. X V - -- - fi -' , . .

The theme of homecoming was How the West was Won and everyone was invited to dress accord- ingly that Friday. Students stayed up late those last nights before the big day putting final touches on their floats which carried out the theme. Each of the upper classes outdid themselves from years past on their entry. However, the freshmen took top honor with their first endeavor in float construction. The only organization to enter a float was the FFA. Senior David Hitt served as Grand Marshall of the parade, which started on the school parking lot and ended downtown, where the pep rally was held. Since everyone else was dressed like cowboys, the cheerleaders dressed as Indians. During the game's halftime activi- ties, the Hawkette drill team and the majorettes, in keeping with the theme, performed western routines to the The Wabash Cannonball and How the West was Won.', Senior Steph- anie Redd was then crowned home- coming queen. After the Hawks took a 20-18 decision over the Kemp Yellowjackets, a dance was held in the gym featuring the Messina Brothers. It was a tiring, but very eventful week. It's nice homecoming only comes once a year. 4' 4' r . 'J 'i 5 .3 A M V turf ' V.- w t 'az 4, 3,514 An, 5 ,411-. V. VZ.. V Vptx ,gd ,I U 5.2. V ' r ' . , ' fiuix V if 5 f -. i oi..

The wheels fell off the piano again. After over four months and many hours of practice, practice, practice, the night of Dec. 17 is finally now . This is the real thing, there is a gym full of real people out there eating and are they eating. A hundred and some people, Mrs. Holloway said. Three rows of tables ought to be enough. I'm sorry, but we're going to have to ask those of you who have finished to please move to the bleachers so those that are still in line can have a place to sit. We'll try to find some chairs for you. Somebody run to Tote-A-Way and buy spaghetti, bread and everything else we're out of, and hurry, there's 200 more people out there. Mrs. Holloway, when are we going to start? As soon as everyone eats, don't break your candy canes. Such were the thoughts and sounds of the Red Oak Concert Choir's first musical, Godspell. Presented as a Christmas program, the production featured solos, dance routines, special effects and even a spaghetti dinner and good entertainment that over 400 people came to see and' enjoy. The production was directed by Judy Holloway, assisted by Karen Vavra, drill team director, who worked out most of the choreography and taught it to the group. Choir members helped with advertising, decorations and planning. Their parents and the National Honor Society cooked and served a delicious dinner to the guests. Much work and time went into Godspell and it all paid off when it was finally over. Y'all were so good! Thanks, Don't leave 'till the gym is clean. We finally get to eat. Mrs. Holloway, when do we start working on UIL contest music? Godspell 13 Breaker 19-you got a cop on me You're out on a deserted highway at midnight and your car stalls. What do you do? You're driving down the road and you see an accident occur with no phone nearby and victims needing immediate medical attention. What do you do? You have football tickets to the Cowboy game which begins in 20 minutes. You want to see the kickoff, but you have already received two tickets this year for speeding. What do you do? Use your citizen band radio. Maybe these are some of the reasons CB's became a craze in Red Oak, as well as across the rest of the country, this year. They are useful for business and helpful for truckers who found them more of a necessity than a convenience when the speed limit was lowered to 55 mph. Songs have been written about them and the Georgia White Knight. Often shy Red Oak students take on a second personality as they eagerly answer to Shotgun, Sodbuster, Booger Baby, Panama Red, Mulligrub or Camaro Kid as they flash their handle across the air waves. With the increased number of CB's, complaints have been registered with the FCC as they disturb television reception, stereos and radios and have even interferred with instrument land- ings by airplanes. Another fad--is it passing or here to stay? 14 cb's it 3 ' F11 . fa it SW-nf-. Ng W Q up W A E . . . I: Q.A, 4 fA p MW . t K ,.f hmm A it f ' xx! W M- ,t f -- Mao.

With the use of her CB and a call for help, she should be at the party in no time. If Keith Parsons had a CB radio, there would have been a lot less explaining to do and a lot more money in his billfold. Doris Prater's new Mustang II 'comes with a CB antenna which is almost standard equipment for cars in '76. It's not only on the highways CB's are used, but local farmers equip their combines and tractors with the useful radios so communication is prompt. Robert Lynn Goodloe can check with Mom to see if dinner is ready. Eddie Pearson asks for a Smokey report before getting his new Firebird on the highway. , M, A .s f -.gif Q' r is aff' , at cb's 15 ,- 5 aim- 'ZH 1+ ,4,Q.,,M., , .1 J, 1 .

There are 18 members this year, all working in a sales field at least 15 hours a week, Coordinator Clay Townsend said. The pre-lab class has 14 students studying business sales, preparing to go into the work program next year. The main purpose of distributive education is to teach the fundamentals of marketing and distribution to stu- dents, Mr. Townsend explained. As coordinator he finds employment for some of the students but others find their own. Belinda Abbott, president, attended the state convention this year, along with Charles Digiglio, a junior, who went to gain leadership experience.

Vocational Office Education gave eight seniors an opportunity to work part time in secretarial positions acquiring two credits for graduation. There were I2 juniors in a two hour pre-employment lab who studied busi- ness skills to prepare them for the work program. Joyce Bridges was VOE coordinator and advisor of the Office Education Association. Competing in their first meet. the district leadership contest in Tyler, six of the 10 contestants qualified for the regional meet. Held at Austin High School in Austin.

A junior, Gary Carroll, was elected chapter president. Rick Hennings, a senior, went through greenhand initiation and a girl, Cindy Teer, became the first female to enroll in agriculture at ROHS. Greenhand initiation started off the year with 30 new members, a bucket of green dye and a mouthful of barnyard pudding. Each of the greenhands was required to have his own individual project that included calves, barrows, poultry and crops. After the initiation, Stacie Redd, ajunior, was elected FFA Sweetheart. She presented ribbons to the winners of the local project show and participated in the Area Sweet- heart Contest. As usual, the chapter built trailers, ran the concession stand at junior varsity-junior high football games and exhibited livestock at the Fort Worth Stock Show. They also entered stock at the Texas State Fair in Dallas and the Ellis County Livestock Show. The livestock project center was repaired and used for the eleventh year. An experimental plot of McNair wheat was planted on FFA land along with a potato patch where would-be farmers plowed the ground, planted and harvested the crop. Animal sci- ence, plant science, leadership, soil science, and shop were studied during the year. Iwiii 'Y ,,,4 ' Gary Carroll, junior, presides over a meeting of the Red Oak chapter.

In addition to project shows, state fairs and stock shows, the local Red Oak chapter also became adapt at serving banquets. They hosted their parents and special guests at the annual barbeque in May and catered the athletic banquet the following week. At their own dinner they honored their members and presented special awards to individuals in the com- munity. Bruner's Chevrolet in Ferris was recepient of one of the service pre- sentations for their support of the chapter. The agency furnished a new pickup for their use for the past two years.

They. ran up a lot of mileage as they attended the Area 8 meeting in Waco and the state workshop in Ft. Worth. They walked or rode bicycles in the Walk-a-Thon--Bike-a-Thon tohelp raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. The not-so-energetic members that weren't up to walking 20 miles did their part by serving re- freshments to the fund raisers. During National FHA Week in April, the girls attended church ser- vices on Sunday and presented boxes of candy to FFA members on Monday. They also wore name tags to designate their members and watched children at the elementary school. Later in the week, they served a buffet luncheon to the faculty. Instead of the usual Mother-Daugh- ter banquet they have hosted in past years, they included both parents for a W Mother-Daddy-Daughter dinner in.

Things soon began to look up as the staff met their first deadline, a month early. Senior Tracy Perry was named editor of the Hawk with Kendra Goodloe as co-editor. Kenny Himmel- berger added his own touch to the book by using graphics to design the cover, division pages and the adver- tising section. Besides doing the usual high school yearbook, the staff decided to do something a little different this year. They separated the elementary from the high school and gave grades K-6 their own softback book, titled Kido- poly. The class designed and com- pleted the book, which was printed and distributed to the students before school let out for summer vacation. Another addition to the journalism department was a Compugraphic type- setter which the staff used to set all the type for both yearbooks. Attending the Interscholastic Lea- gue Press Convention at Austin, in March, Red Oak brought home 15 individual medals for their 1975 edi- tion of the Hawk. Compiling more points on their rating than any other school in their class, the Hawk won the Award of Distinguished Merit and was named the best yearbook in Texas out of Class A schools. This is just like winning a state football championship, stated Super- intendent Don Shields. 36 yearbook ml qw A, , t s- ff ., .fr Mira , , -6 I G , . 1 . sg ' -' A ft A 1 'tg . ttegqz me 'M -J, ., .

After tryouts in the spring of '75, the girls traveled to North Texas State University for the National Spirits and Sports Camp All the practices helped in putting together snappy performances. One became the favored Rock Around the Clock, fifties garb and all. The girls showed real dedication when the cheers never stopped, even through the rain and mud of Hubbard. They also endured through frozen bare legs, lost gloves, squashed hats and long bus rides to boost Hawk spirit. Keeping with the western theme, the Hawkettes donned cowboy hats and performed to How The West Was Won during homecoming. After all the football games were gone, the drill team wasn't.

J Hard work pays off for juniors The junior class went all out to entertain the graduates. Months of money raising activities and prepara- tion climaxed into a beautiful evening. Who's that boy? I don't know them. Can you believe how pretty she looks? Tux, new suits, long dresses, flowers and special hair styles trans- formed those every day students we all pass in the halls into Cinderellas and Prince Charmings. Couples arrived early to have their pictures made to keep a souvenir of the evening. The theme, Times of Your Life, was introduced in a speech by Donna Mize. Kendra Goodloe, junior class president, welcomed everyone to the banquet and introduced the senior class president, Kevin Stanford. The lights were dimmed and home movies of Kevin sunbathing at age four appeared on a movie screen.xFollowing that introduction, Kevin gave the response. Lee Jones offered thanks for the food and a banquet meal featuring everything from grilled steak to straw- berries Romanoff were served the guests. The bicentennial theme was carried out in table centerpieces with the arrangement going to one lucky guest at each table. Held at Dallas' Hyatt House, stu- dents spent the evening recalling memories of their high school days complete with a look into the future. The high school choir madrigal singers entertained, as well as various members of the faculty andthe junior class. Most left agreeing it would long be a night to remember. 48 junior-senior banquet Y Juniors and seniors are welcomed by a marquee in front of the Hyatt House on Stemmons in Dallas.

Juniors give seniors first class treatment :V jun b q t51 Well, all my classmates are going to the graduation party tonight, but for some reason, I just don't feel like going. Many a day I have sat thinking this night would never come. All through school. I have set goals for myself-- winning the fourth grade spelling bee, getting to junior high and then--on to high school. I got my driver's license, turned in my research paper on time and now, I have finally reached the unreachable goal--high school graduation. These dolls they gave us at the swimming party are really nice. You know, I am really going to miss the old ROHS football games, band practice, working on the homecoming float until 2 o'clock in the morning and pep rallies. I remember at the last pep rally they sang Moments to Remember to the seniors and I nearly cried. Me, a grown 18-year-old. Our football team didn't have what you would call a great record, but we were one of the most spirited teams ever. Coach Wolaver said we were outscored, but never beaten. Some of my classmates made their best grades in football. The senior cheerleaders won't be able to escape from civilization any- more, going to the summer cheerlead- ing camps with hundreds of other savage, screaming girls and boys. I will never forget when Jimmy Shields was the first boy brave enough 52 junior senior banquet to try out for cheerleader during the basketball season of 1974-75. There won't be any more legitimate reasons for jumping up and down like monkeys and yelling, Go bananas. I am glad we added a marching band to our curriculum while I was in school. It certainly added a lot to the pep rallies and football games. But now, there won't be any more marching in the mud, band bus rides or concerts. And then there was choir. Choir was always a fun class. We put on Red Oak's first musical production, God- spell. The gym was packed that night and boy, was I scared. We must have gone to the store 20 times just to get enough food to feed all those extra people. Our class always supplied the basketball team with plenty of capable players. When we were juniors, the boys had their first winning season in over 10 years and with five seniors starting this year, the season also proved to be a victorious one. The sweetest victory had to have been when we defeated Cayuga by a slim two points at Red Oak. With all the people screaming and yelling, I thought Coach Russell was going to kill David and Ernie--he was hugging them so hard. When we were juniors, our National Honor Society was founded. I will never forget wearing those dunce hats and the diapers we made for the new members were hysterical. And who will ever forget those 20 mile Saturday hikes called Walk-A-Thons? Even though it was for a good cause, I thought my feet were going to fall off. A student government was also formed with our own Booger Baby acting as president of the organization. This doll has to represent none other than Louise Ritter. Girls' track was begun when we were freshmen. That same year, Louise began jumping and went to the state meet where she set a conference record. Last year, she out jumped the state record holder for first place. Our golf team went to state last year. Our tennis team won at district and our baseball team almost made it to the regional plavoffs. These have been some of the greatest times of my life. But, they will soon be things that I will tell my kids and they will say, Oh, you have got to be kidding. I won't have the security of high school any longer, for I must now go on and face tomorrow. Tomorrow. That's a big word. There is no telling whatls out there and I have got to face it as an adult. You know, I was just thinking. I have spent two-thirds of my life in school. No wonder I am confused. Well, I guess I will go to that graduation party after all.

Gaines Wolaver resigned at the end of the '75 season. Moving up to Class AA next year, the Hawks are going to need a young person with lots of enthusiasm, Coach Wolaver said explaining his decision to resign the post he has held since 1966. The school board has asked him to remain as a coordinator. I feel there is a challenge in the capacity I will be going into for there is a lot to be done, Mr. Wolaver explained. The Hawks had a disappointing season, compiling a 1-5 distict record in conference 17A and, along with Kemp, winding up on the bottom of the heap. Crandall. once again, showed up as the powerhouse taking the champion- ship with a 6-0 district record. Bloom- ing Grove was runner up. Four of Red Oak's losses were by five points or less and the final gun often sounded leaving the Hawks within inches of pay dirt. Ten lettermen were seniors and Kevin Stanford and Mike Baumann, along with Brett Compton, a junior. were team captains. The Hawks opened the season at home with a crowd-pleasing 14-6 win over Garland Christian, but went winless until Homecoming when they W. . i ,.1. i,., pk 60 football Tailback Barry Sharp and Offensive End Eddie Pearson grind through the line in a 28-12 loss to the Edgewood Bulldogs.

Coming back for the second game after their opening victory, Red Oak lost a 16-10 heartbreaker to Commun- ity. That contest ended with the Hawks only inches from a TD with no time outs left and unable to get the ball across before the clock ran out. A town-painting by a group of ROHS alumni fired up the ever-tough Lions from Blooming Grove who downed the Hawks 21-17 and left the would-be artists a paint bill to pay. The junior varsity won four games while dropping six with their opener a big 30-0 win over Palmer. The team was coached by Ron Allen.

It occurs to us the same thing can be said about the contemporary edition of the Red Oak Hawks. The locals were on the short e-nd of the score in eight outings. Now to the fainthearted, negative minded Saturday Morning Quarterbacks, this may sound like the Hawks were a beaten bunch. However. when you consider five of these were by six points or less, it changes the beaten complexion quite a bit. At least it makes one take a second look. Coaches are normally known for their abundant use of crying towels. pouting, sitting in the chimney corner with ashes on their heads, while clad in tow sacks without the benefit of underwear. Coach Gaines Wolaver, tutor-in-chief of the Hawks, is another story. Instead of using the crying towel, making excuses based on injuries, flunk outs and all the other reasons coaches are entitled to use, Wolaver says his charges played even better ball than was expected of them. According to the Hawk Boss, 110 percent was given from start to finish in those losing efforts. In the coaches own words, What more can you ask of them? Another evidence that our guys were not 'lbeaten' comes from the fact the present Hawks were one of the few outfits in pigskin history that had its own cheering squad. Led by Co-captain Kevin Stanford, the grid- sters did not wait for the rest of us to boost their spirits, but actually boosted ours by organizing their own cheering section, having before-school pep rallies and developing yells and fight songs tWhere, Oh Where Are You Tonightl. This crew of never say dies kept the spirit of the rest of us aflame. The 1975 football season has ended. The good guys have fholstered their pistols, mounted up and rode off into the sunset. The scores will grow dim with age, the losses will not hurt as they once did, but forever through life, these young men may be outscored a few times--they will never be beaten.

Under new coach Mike Russell. the team got a strong start with a four-game winning streak. Meeting tough competition in several AAA tournaments, the Hawks went on to compile a 13-13 season record. ln mid December, the cagers began district play with a slim victory over a strong Kerens quintet, 58-53. Competing in Red Oak's annual Christmas tournament, the varsity squad met the First Baptist School of Dallas, marching the Saints out to the tune of 80-52. ln the second round the Hawks played the Trojans from Trinity Christian Academy and lost, 39-35. This put the team in the finals for third place against the Crandall Pirates. The game ended in a Hawk 104-77 loss. Despite the team's failure to win a trophy, David Hitt and Philip Butler. both seniors, were named to the All-Tournament team. With a good start into the district. the Hawks met the Wildcats from Cayuga to drop a 75-61 conference game. After that taste of defeat. the 68 boys' basketball Hawks couldn't seem to get on top as injuries plagued the squad. along with the ever present flu of the winter season. After an unfortunate night in Kerens, the ball club was fired up to win three straight battles on the court. On a pleasant night in February, the Cayuga Wildcats came to Red Oak with only one district loss. They went home with two. A determined team, hungry for a win over the past year's district champs, put forth their best effort. At the sound of the buzzer, the teams were knotted at 72 each. In over-time play, two Hitt free throws ended the war, 78-76, with the maroon gang on top. Crandall continued through the season to take the district title, but was severely upset in post season playoffs by Broadus, who later won state by the second largest margin in the history of the state basketball tournament. In voting by district coaches, Philip was unanimously voted to the first team, all-district. while David was named to the second team and Ernie Hall received honorable mention. flflflll I.

The 880-yard relay team also qualified for regional,when Debbie, Donna, Glinda and Kerri took second behind Edgewood. The championship was a total team effort and never would have been secured if it hadn't been for the 40 points scored by the third through sixth places who didn't qualify for regional, Coach Charlene Atkinson explained. It was a hotly-contested battle with Red Oak trailing Edgewood most of the day. Red Oak was in second by two points behind Edgewood going into the next-to-last event, the 880- dash. Pressure was on and three freshmen accepted the challenge. Lou Ann, Keri and Dona Knight placed first, second, third respectively giving the team 24 points.

They also picked up experience in Van Zandt's Invitational. an annual affair that had 23 teams competing. More boys out for the team called for an additional coach. With Mike Russell assisting, more individual instruction was given and much time spent with the team who saw only one veteran, David Hitt. competing for district honors. Earl Seago, head coach, was back for his fifth year with the golf team. This was only the second time, they had not advanced to regional and last year's team went all the way to the state tournament in Austin. Coached by Ron Allen, the track team, with only nine members, com- peted for district honors in Edgewood. Tim Jones took second place in the high hurdles and qualified for region- al. At the Kilgore meet. he placed seventh. Tim also competed in the high jump, pole vault and was on the sprint relay team. Earlier in the season. the boys entered invitational meets at Wylie and Midlothian, both AA schools that Red Oak will compete with next year when they move up a class. .. 1fl 'rf I ,frm L W A r LF, .1 5 , ' iagxitfyb.. .

Despite. the water and mud. the team finally finished the season and. for the third consecutive year. wound up in second place, just behind Kerens. The outcome went right down to the wire when, in the final game of the year. they traveled to Bobcat country. led until the bottom of the final inning when Kerens scored two runs to go ahead 5-4 and take another district baseball crown.

After approval of a bond issue in April. 1974, inflation and the high cost of construction forced the school board to take a second look at the blueprints. Revision by the architect that saw conventional brick walls give way to concrete tilt-wall construction and other changes finally resulted in a bid A that the district could accept. Construction got underway in Octo- ber and by February, the walls went up in the agriculture building and floors had been poured in the class- room building and gymnasium. Administrators were optimistic the doors would open to the students by the beginning of school in August. If not. Superintendent Don Shields felt students would be able to move into the new building by Thanksgiving. A possible delay would create confusion. We will work under the philosophy you can do anything, if you have to. Mr. Shields said. We will use the libraries and every nook and corner we have to for classroom space, he added.

N ii- gf 3 X administration 91 High school adds four new teachers to staff With four new teachers beginning in the fall, Red Oak junior and senior high schools were staffed by 26 faculty members. With the addition of Vocational Office Education, Joyce Bridges moved into a new capacity as coordi- nator of that program. Business sub- jects were taken over by Lois Mc- Cullough, a new teacher from Waxa- hachie, who had formerly taught at Chapel Hill and Marshall before coming to Red Oak. Math teacher Paula Russell's hus- band, Mike, joined the coaching staff as boys' varsity basketball coach and English teacher. Choir director Judy Holloway re- signed after Christmas and a long and tiring production of Godspell Cto decorate their nurseryl and was re- placed by Denise Linebarger, a recent graduate of Southern Methodist Uni- versity. Other new teachers include Mark Hinson, a coach and junior high math teacher and Janet Robertson. junior high English teacher. The addition of a new annex north of the high school provided two new rooms occupied by the drama and speech department and special educa- tion. The rooms, carpeted and air conditioned. were a welcome solution to the crowded conditions formerly tolerated by Bonnie Coulston's special education classes, which were held in an office of the high school building.

This was made necessary by the insistence of a few to smoke after the school board's ruling last year to ban student smoking on campus. Another board policy saw the re- moval of soft drink machines and energetic students now found they could pick up enough bottles, brought from downtown, to supplement their weekly allowances. Enrollment continued to climb near the 1200 mark with 336 in high school. The past few years growth resulted in Red 0ak's assignment next year to Class AA where they will compete in a new district with Midlothian, Wylie, Allen, Forney, Ferris and Cedar Hill.

One of the highlights in the spring is the annual competition for the Uni- versity lnterscholastic League Literary meet. There's just about something for everyone with contests in speaking, writing, math and science, spelling and drama. Many contestants start preparation months before district working for a win that will advance them to regional. Regional runners-up and state quali- fiers are eligible to apply for scholar- ships by the Interscholastic League foundation. Some of these are for as much as S4000 so there is an added incentive. Red Oak students competed in district 17A at Henderson County Junior College in Athens, tallying 152 1X2 points to place second behind Hubbard. They qualified in 20 events at regional at Kilgore College with five advancing to state. Following five rounds of debate Jimmy Shields and Danny Little lost to Alto in the finals to take a second place that still advanced them to the state meet. Deborah Shaw made her second trip to Austin after taking first place in both newswriting and feature writing. Lamar Livingston also returned to the state contest placing second in poetry reading and Kenny Himmel- berger went in persuasive speaking. Kenny competed at state during his sophomore year as a member of the debate team. The Wife of Bath from the Canterbury Tales was Red Oak's entry in the UIL one-act play contest held at Kerens. Lamar was named best actor. Kenny was selected to the all-star cast and Jimmy received honorable men- tion for his part as the Jack-of-all- Trades. fi 11 Mx J sf Egg l it ery X . .1 xg-gt...-S Students who competed in typing and shorthand events are John Gillaspy, typingg Tracy Perry. shorthandg Greg Hilliard, typingg Melanie Robnett: shorthand: Leslie McFadden and Susan Been. typing.

Of the past 144 months, they had sat in the classroom 108 of them. Finally the time had come. They had completed their last final exam and with it. terminated their formal high school education. All that was lacking was their diploma from commence- ment exercises. What would be the next step in their lives? Do you think they began to think seriously about their future? Do you think they began filling out applica- tions for college entrance, jobs or maybe marriage licenses? Not the Red Oak senior class of '76. They headed straight for Brookside Inn in Waxaha- chie for a swimming party that continued -from 1 o'clock in the afternoon until... The party turned out to be quite a splash as everyone got an instant dunking, clothes and all. Even two of the chaperones, Don Shields and Karl Pace, were introduced to the chilly waters of the pool when the boys, only hours from graduation, felt brave enough to throw them in. also. Many of the class left early in the evening, but came the dawn, there were still a few merrymakers who had made it through the night tthey were the ones who fell asleep during rehearsal and commencement the next day.J Another swimming party, honoring the senior members of the National Honor Society, was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Henry, May 10. A weiner roast and games of volleyball and ping pong added to the enjoyment of the evening. A breakfast was held, also at Brookside, the morning before bacca- laureate. The graduates. their parents and guests enjoyed the meal and one of their last times together. 100 senior activities ,Ii ...A .W ., Aasnfif-'A ,M,,M .nal K, .,. -as. .K ..,,...,-f- U, I ' 1 5 , . . :tfwy , .rf , ,V A h M ' f K W , f J 1 kfqv' '.!Cf?Q3JY.wWa .'. sw'-'SQWHIYV E Y 'UV' Y' V V v - 'P X f 4-gfiiff .- ef in 4 in P a Q X35 i ' u 9 4. 7 T My Q J Q 'Q : Tiff - ,f , ' ,. , ' 3 'J i J can J QS U il if A f- 2 . f e ' ii E , F ri if, Mi A .:',.,.AMl Qt 'h T:.,T ' A my- A, , I k 1... , . lf' A A' , 5 ' - 5 fiiz Q as , . g ' 'AA' ' J ,wifi- ,q,. 1 W6 J 2 ' -w ,L J, in fy, V .. lf I A. , www, .

Guests and seniors realized summer wasn't far away as the over-crowded, stuffy gymnasium left few dry threads under the graduation gowns. Special music was presented by the high school band and chorus with the highlight of the musical program, a patriotic medley by Mr. and Mrs. Morris Paschall. The May 28 exercises concluded the year's school activities, as well as the final event for 48 graduating seniors. Guests were welcomed by Judy Chapman, salutatorian, with David Hitt giving the valedictory address. Dr. W.E. Thorn, president of Dallas Baptist College, who had recently moved to Red Oak, addressed the graduates prior to the presentation of diplomas by Earl Seago, principal and Bob Redd and Dwayne Lowe, mem- bers ofthe school board.

When you're a sophomore, they deserve a little more respect. By the time you are a junior, they are telling you, Just wait until next year--it's so weird! And now, when you're finally there, you're the one who finds out it is all true. Things have 'been different this year. A bunch of us run off to work after lunch each day. We sure couldn't have done that when we were fish. Most of the rest go to a part-time job after school. Those who don't are too busy to. I guess it's because money gets more and more important every year, especially to those of us who are going off to college next year. College--that's something you look forward to all your life until now, when your knees start shaking and you doubt seriously whether you're really prepared to take it on. The rest of us just need to start making a living sometime and we figure it might as well be now. We gripe alot about school and problems we think we have at home, but I bet we'll be missing all of it before we know it. When we get out in the big, mean world, we'll probably miss the comfort of having Mom wake us in the morning and our favorite food ready when we get home' in the evening. We'll remember how big our prob- lems seem now and laugh at how much the things we thought we were going to die over really didn't matter at all. There will be the sweet memories of walking off the field after the last football game, our last homecoming activities as a student, goofing off on exam day, graduation and all of those other last-time everythings we did with the classmates we may never see again. Through all the weirdness, prob- lems and fears. we'll look back and remember how really great it was to be a Red Oak senior of '76, Patti Adams t , -W X Mike Baumann My ,I ., t l i. , ,. ig Lisa Dickcy Beaty ' W R rf if? 6 - ..

Only one more year. After all, I'm a junior now. Not the top dog around here, but not a puny freshman either. No more physi- cal education classes--got those two credits out of the way. The same goes for math and science except for those of us who are taking extra courses getting prepared for college entrance. In fact, all I have to take is English and American History--poor Pam Shell and Charles Korn--they are blessed by having every junior in their classes. One nice thing is the new office education lab. You meet class two hours for intensive typing, filing, calculator training and other office skills. Next year. the class is only one hour and you can work half a day. Some of us are working part time this year on the distributive education program. It is also the last year to study vocational agriculture. Since so many freshmen enroll in ag, Jack Cook has to offer two sections of Ag I and Ag lv was dropped. I do believe this is the busiest year--it's a good thing most of our Jerry Almon required subjects are out of the way. Of course, raising money for the junior-senior banquet is the top priori- ty item for us. With the classes getting larger, that means we need more money. At the beginning of the year, we elected Clay Townsend, Joyce Brid- ges, Keith Shelton and Mike Russell for sponsors and did they put us to work! I never want to see another spirit ribbon and Mrs. Bridges really prod- ded us on the magazine subscription drive until we sold enough to profit over 51000. Then there were the basketball concessions and, as usual, only the same old ones to help. But. I wouldn't have missed it for anything. That's all a part of being a junior, along with the usual.

Eng- lish, a math and an elective, soph- omores found themselves carrying more of a load than when they were freshman. Some were able to compensate by making better use of their spare time. Some student's grades declined. Some conceded defeat and decided not to graduate but just continue coming to school to please their parents. I have to pay more attention in class and study more just to keep my grades the same as last year. says Kim Chan- cellor, class president. Despite the harder work, more opportunities were also offered them. Some were inducted into the National Honor Society.

A main attraction during one's sophomore year is getting to dissect earthworms, frogs. grasshoppers, etc. etc. in biology class, especially before lunch. I find it interesting. states Mike lngram. lt's something differ- ent that happens in a classroom. l think it's fun. Sophomores were well represented in extra curricular activities. The entire Hawkettc drill line was made up of almost all sophomores. There was also a majority in the chorus and many were in band. Both FHA and FFA membership contained a large number from the class. They also did their share for the Homecoming parade by constructing and building their float entry The Dixie Saloon. Construction on the 415 float was begun on a Monday with homecoming the Friday of the same week. which helped add to the excitement of the week. The sophomore class had good participation in sports. some on junior varsity and some on varsity teams. Steve Little won the position as quarterback for the varsity football team. One's sophomore year is usually when the loth birthday is celebrated which means getting a driver's license and many times an automobile. It may be a '55 clunker or a '76 Trans Am but they both serve the same purpose. The big difference from their fresh- men year may be You don't get teased as much, said Gean Allen. l guess we're more generally accepted by the student body instead of being 'little punks' as we were last year.

The name could imply more than the grades attending there. It is the middle years between kindergarten and graduation, but it's also a time between childhood and adult life. One day it's first real love and the next a fierce game of Red Rover between the buildings. lt's your first box of chocolates and asking the teacher for recess again. It's a crush on Mr. Allen and hop scotch on the sidewalks. It's carving your first dirty word on the bathroom walls and asking your best friend, later, what it really means. It's experimenting with makeup and forgetting to put it on. It's your own telephone and using it for prank calls. It's smoking behind the building and getting sick on the smell. lt's asking a girl to the sweetheart dance and having your father pick her up. It's your first passionate kiss behind the door and getting your braces locked. It's Truth or Dare on the basketball bus and hitting your teacher with an orange peel. lt's wearing your first long dress and turning cartwheels on the parking lot. It's your first pep rally and pouting because you didn't win the spirit stick. It'sjunior high--an important part of growing up. 124 junior high ls... .. 3' 131 s s r 1 rw r .. .ii ,vt .w 55, X33 A , ' 1.35 I . x r rt t The 'koaches kitchen' featuring hamburgers and french fries is the highlight of the junior high tournament for some students.

Junior high cheerleader tryouts were held last spring. Eight girls were selected, four from each class. They began practice two weeks before school started to be ready for the big game. They presented a spirit stick at each pep rally to the most spirited class, which wasn't always an easy task. Pep rallies being a new experience for junior high, created spirit always in abundance. -mann 1 -wan-nnanq blfflvlllilfth ,N I i Q.

Besides taking the four solids: math, English, American history and earth science, they get to choose two electives. They select from chorus, band, Spanish, English re- enforcement and athletics. Eighth graders have everything to look forward to, such as their 14th birthday, dating and taking driver's education. They are anxious to partici- pate in high school sports--maybe even be on the varsity team. They are also eager to attend high school pep rallies and dances. They don't just study the constitu- tion, but distinguish from among igneous, metamorphic and sedimen- tary rocks. They have a sweetheart game and dance during football sea- son, hold their own junior high basketball tournament and buy new suits and long dresses for end-of-year graduation. These extra-curricular activities, along with anticipation of high school. allow them to survive that last year before finally becoming a big ROHS freshman. ,.

This made them the largest class in school. The major problem was often sch- eduling but seventh graders are too excited about being in junior high to complain about crowded classrooms. They were required to take basic classes. but also had a choice from several electives. Participating in school athletics was a new opportunity for both the girls and boys. Physical education classes were also offered to all students. More opportunities meant more activity.

It was established in 1892 in what we called the State Bank Building which became known as Rice Old- ham's Building. The original business was Ligon Brothers and later became Ligon Brothers and Conners when Mr. J.A. Conner joined the business in 1907. Ligon and Beddo had groceries and hardware in a two-story building just south where Haney's Insurance Agency is now located. Dry goods were in the bank building. Everything south was burned in 1909. There was no water and the gins didn't run that year. The two-story frame burned, but the bank building didn't as there were no openings on that side. They managed to protect it so it never did catch. After the 1909 fire the Odd Fellows built the west half and Mr. George Ligon built the east half of what is known as the Cavitt Building. They moved the stock from Ligon and Beddo. The big building contained only two rooms and Ligon and Beddo had groceries on the east side and there were dry goods on the west. There was a partition in the middle and an open space. Glenn Bell was employed shortly after they opened the new building. I started work in August of 1912 until the first of April in 1913. During that winter the present building was constructed and the hardware stock and furniture moved from the State Building. Mr. Conner sold out in 1913 and with Pat Conner and Johnny Pratt organized Red Oak Hardware, moving north of the Post Office where Mr. E.H. Goodloe had built four 20-foot buildings. When Mr. Conner sold his interest that year to Mr. Ligon, another brother of Mr. Ligons, Jessie T., ran the new store. The lumber was left in the sheds on the railroad tracks, but business was conducted from the new estab- lishment.

On Jan. 4, 1916, I came in as a partner to manage the hardware. lumber, furniture and undertaking business. Earl joined the business as an employee in 1923 and bought stock in the company in 1925. Mr. Lenard, son of George, came to work for the company after graduation from Trinity University in Waxahachie in 1923. He stayed and worked with us until he had to take over the bank business in 1932. Back then hardware stores all over the country furnished Caskets. We left them in big shipping boxes until someone needed one. Then we would open the shipping box, show the casket, sell it and they would take it home to use. In 1937, a new Texas state law required undertakers to be examined and receive a certificate as a funeral director. My brother, Earl. and I became licensed funeral directors. We could handle caskets and sell, but a certified embalmer had to be called in to prepare the body. When they started having funeral homes, we sold our business to Boze-Mitchell in Waxahachie. We carried just about anything a family would need for their home. When I first went into the business, fire places were primarily used and we sold coal and grates and we also sold wood cook stoves. About 10 years later, we started selling oil stoves. When a couple would marry, we Sa would sell them what they needed. I would tell them, 'If you let me tell you what to buy, Iwill guarantee you won't need over two other items, except food. I had learned from talking with salesmen and from experience what they would need. We would sell them a slop jar, wash tub, rub board, wash pots, churn, lid and dasher and butter mold. We carried beds, springs and mattresses, but not clothes. We had rolling pins, pie pans and biscuit cutters. We could furnish them 98 per cent of what they needed. They could usually buy all this for 5225 to 5300. If they didn't have the money or the credit. they would leave off some and go to their parents to wash. We got to be half car load buyers of implements back in the good old days when the price of cotton was high. It brought 30 to 45 cents a pound in 1919. People held it and the bottom dropped to 8 cents in the spring of 1921. We were selling ship lap 1 by 8's for 52.25 a hundred board feet and shingles for 53.50 a square. During the last World War. they froze the price. We got a car load of No. 1 British Columbian cedar shingles that cost us 56.25. As we would have had to sell them for 53.50, we stored them for awhile. I was there 58 years, but left in January of 1974 when I was hospital- ized with the loss of circulation below the knee. They amputated it in January, 1975. Earl still operates the business.'
