We each have our own ways of spending the long awaited vacation. For Brenda Bailey the summer meant helping her mother run their cafe. Thelma Daniels, Lori Nichols, and Kim Taylor spent most of their vacation days working at the Dairy Queen. Tracy Tate spent her summer vacation visiting Colorado, Arizona, Las Vegas, and New Mexico. The majorettes went to camp Thunder- hawk at O. U. While some students worked during their vacation others like Kathy Harvell and Pam Owens spent their time in a haze of lazy days: riding horses, swimming, playing tennis, and rodeoing. School wasn’t far from the students minds as the band members, football players, and cheer- leaders worked hard during the summer in order to be ready for the school activities. Warren Riddle, Tonda Roberts, Randa Roberts, and Shelly Roberts still enjoy childhood pleasures. Above: Lome Green likes to play tennis on the new courts at school.

SUMMER ACTIVITIES—13 Students enjoy fall calendar The students were involved in many activities during their summer vacation but by the time August 23 rolled around everyone was ready to get back into the routine of school days. Our first football game of the season proved a success as we defeated Keota 26-12 on Friday, September 3. Halfback Chuck Kolp stated “I knew we would win from the very begin- ning,” and Coach Martin later said “It was important that our young team got off to a winning start and great desire proved to be a winning edge.” September 17 proved another victory for the Rangers as we defeated Warner, adding a final touch to the home- coming game. Pam Owens said “I couldn’t believe I was elected queen but I was very proud to receive the honor.” Next came October 9, Junior Miss time. It was a great pageant. “I will do my best while representing Roland in the state pageant,” promised Nikita Gray. October 20 and Spanish Queen time again. Many tickets were sold before Randa Roberts was proclaimed Spanish Queen for 1977. October 31! Hallow- een already? The carnival was rained out but the program wasn’t. After much hard work the sophomores won Halloween honors and Jody Jones crowned Lisa Kling Halloween Queen. Spirits raced and hopes were high at the bonfire Thursday, September 9 before the big gam, with Muldrow. Debbie jeremiah and Nikita Gray, two flag team members of the Ranger Band, work intently on getting their routine down.

ENTERTAINMENT-17 Honors go to Tina and Terry Mr. And Miss RHS is an honor any student would be proud to re- ceive. Roland’s 1977 Mr. and Miss RHS are Terry Nichols and Tina Roberts who are both seniors. Leader- ship, scholarship, and citizenship are three criteria for selecting Mr. and Miss RHS. Tina has been one of the starting players on the basketball team all four years of high school and Terry has been an active officer in Ag. and is on the Student Council. Both students have been elected as class officers and both have received class favorite titles. Tina hustles for the basketball as she plays her favorite sport.

Being the Bicentennial year ought to really add some pep to the campaigns. I can see the slogans now, For the nation's 200th birth- day, I’ll put 200 chickens in every pot. Maybe it won't be that bad, but I imagine there will be some exciting happenings. Feb.-Wow, the campaigns have really started! Seems like everybody wants to run for the big office. At last count, there were fourteen candidates just in the democratic party. Fred Harris of Ok. is running, but he doesn’t seem to be doing too well. March-The republicans seem to be giving the democrats a run for their money. The democrats have narrowed it down to the main three —Udall, Jackson, and Humphrey-but lots of people are talking about some new guy named Carter. April—The republicans seem to be hinging on Ford and Reagan. Reagan has been using the controversial Panama Canal issue as a weapon to shoot Ford down. May—Lots of states have had their pri- maries now, and the democrats still seem to be undecided, but that new guy, Jimmy What's-his-name, is making some small waves. June-The primaries are still going on. Several of the demo candidates have dropped out of the race, including Harris. Carter seems to be gaining momentum as he goes along. I guess people like his ‘down home boy’ image. July—The republicans are having a nice, ordinary campaign, but the democrats have moved into an all-out, mud-slinging battle, and most of the mud pies are aimed right at Carter. Aug.—“Carter's Bandwagon is the name tag given to Jimmy’s apparently indomitable campaign machine. The peanut farmer from Georgia is heading for the top. The GOP convention was held in Kansas City, with the feuding between Ford and Reagan hot and heavy. The race was extremely close, but Ford came out the victor. Sept.—Jerry Brown and Frank Church, latecomers in the campaign, presented a couple of mudholes for Carter's bandwagon, but they weren’t big enough to keep Carter from winning the democratic nomination by a unanimous vote. Oct.—The election is really close at hand. Carter challenged Ford to a debate, the first since the Nixon-Kennedy debates. Right now, the race is so close, not even Mr. Gallop will call it. Nov.—I stayed up all night last week watching the returns. Carter won. Looks like we're going to have lots of peanut butter. Dec.—President elect Jimmy Carter was on a Barbara Walters’ television special last night discussing the transition period. When asked about his greatest fear of being the President, he replied, I don’t want to disappoint the American people. Ms. Walters summed up the nations emotions when she pleaded, Be good to us. President-elect Jimmy Carter started interviewing prospects for White House positions sho after his election. 20-ELECTION 76-77 ludent Reaction The impact of this bicentennial election reached to the far corners of the globe, and its atmosphere could be felt in Roland High in the history classes, student council meetings, and even in the halls during break. A mock election was sponsored by the stu- dent council in which Carter triumphed over Ford by a count of 147 to 91, with McCarthy coming in a distant third. Students were definitely up-to-date on all the controversial issues from abortion to taxes to Watergate; opinions of the two top candidates were based on criteria ranging from their religion to the way they smile: “It’s not fair to use religion as a backup like Carter does.” Jerri Wasson I'm for Carter because he’s a Baptist.” Terry Nichols “I don’t like to see them cutting each other down like they do on the debates.” Helen Curl “Carter is more down to earth and the common people like that.” Kathy Harvell “Ford has more experience in office.” Dennis Lasiter “Carter looks like a president.” Beverly Robison Below: Carla Releford, Dwayne Roberts, and Dwight Speir work the gate at the Halloween program. Right: Chuck Kolp president of the Student Council, emcees the Halloween pro- gram. Student council works to raise funds for worthwhile causes This year the Student Council consisted of eleven members: two rep- resentatives chosen from each class and the officers elected by the high school students. Chuck Kolp was voted president, Terry Nichols was named vice-president, and Kenda Barthel was chosen secretary. The student council members were engaged in various activities throughout the year such as sponsor- ing the Halloween program, serving re- freshments at the open-house, and dis- tributing candy at Christmas. The also helped to raise money for the heart fund and other worthwhile causes. 22-STUDENT COUNCIL Below: Lori Nichols and Kenda Barthel assist Chuck Kolp in figuring student council expenses.

STUDENT COUNCIL 23 Sharon Williams and Tony Knauls demon- strate their athletic abilities. Sixty-six choose ten One of the seniors’ many deci- sions was choosing ten people out of a class of sixty-six who qualified for class favorite titles. They chose Tina Roberts and Chuck Kolp Best-AII- Around because of their outgoing per- sonalities. Tom Cosner tied Wally Beaty for the Best Looking title with Debbie Jeremiah. Representing the Rangers and Rangerettes are Tony Knauls and Sharon Williams who were elected Most Athletic. Helping raise school spirit with their determination to win are Most School Spirited Melissa Gantt and William Wells. Super-smart brains and much studying qualified Kenda Barthel and Joe Moquett for Most Studious. This is the third year Joe and Kenda have re- ceived this title. Best Looking Wally Beaty, Debbie Jeremiah, and Tom Cosner seem to enjoy washing trucks better than studying. 24-SENIOR CLASS FAVORITES BEST-ALL-AROUND Chuck Kolp shows Tina Roberts the correct way to hold a tennis racket. MOST SCHOOL SPIRITED William Wells and Melissa Gantt go out of their way to support their teams. Kenda Barthel smiles as Joe Moquett exclaims, “Hey-y-y, this is better than studying anytime!” SENIOR CLASS FAVORITES-25 Lisa Efurd and Greg Barnes anticipate using their skills in an office. Honors go to the top ten Portraying Most Studious are Lisa Efurd and Greg Barnes. It seems Greg has made a big impression in the short time that he has attended Roland and we all know what good study habits Lisa has. Always looking for action are Thelma Daniels and Bryan Williams who were chosen as Most Athletic. Be- cause of their enthusiasm and spirit, Shelley Behunin and Jerry Brooks were elected Most School Spirited. Do- ing what comes natural are Lorie Nichols and Joe Southern; naturally they hold the office of Best All A- round. Charm and good looks hold a popular vote, that’s why the Junior class chose Vickie Henson and Warren Riddle as Best Looking. Bryan Williams tackles an eli sive Thelma Daniels. 26-JUNIOR CLASS FAVORITES The photographer was lucky to find such beauty and brawn in this clut- tered room. Shelley Behunin and Jerry Brooks are always in on everything. Joe Southern pro- vides Lorie Nichols with convenient transportation a- round the school. JUNIOR CLASS FAVORITES—27 Sophs choose favorite pairs This year the sophomores were careful to make wise decisions in se- lecting class favorites. Taking the place of Best-AII-Around are Randa Roberts and Ben Daniel because of their charming personalities. Stepping into the category of Most-School-Spirited are Dwayne Roberts and Roxana Gardner, who are well known for their enthusiasm. For Best Looking the Sophomores really had an easy choice —Jeff Roberts and Shelley Roberts were the perfect pair. Herbert Jones and Carla Releford were elected as Most Athletic because of their ath- letic prowess. Because of the excellent report cards they always receive Melissa Russell and David Gray were named to receive the Most Studious title. Randa Roberts and Ben Daniel enjoy the company of their furry friends.

First favorite election gets top priority Although it was the first time for the freshmen to pick class favorites, they handled the job like seasoned veterans. Each individual thought long and hard before making his or her final decision. A few people were disappointed that everyone they voted for was not chosen, but they backed the eleven people selected all the way. CLASS FAVORITES—31 athy Brock and Paul Matlock practice hard to earn the name of MOST ATHLETIC. 1976-77 Jr. Miss Nikita Gray receives Jr. Miss title The 1976-77 )unior Miss pageant took place on October 9, 1976, in the high school gymnasium.

VAL EDICTOR IAN-SALUTATO RIAN—37 Frito Bandito from Nicaragua invades Roland Denis Martinez, our exchange student from Nicaragua, was in for adventure when he came to Roland. He stayed as the guest of Dr. Pickartz, and later as a guest of the Earl Roberts family. A co-ed school like Roland seems to be Denis’ preference over his own school, where it is all boys and a school uni- form is required. The barrage of snow was new to Denis, who is used to year-round temperatures of 70° “It’s cold,” was his main complaint during Denis’ stay, but he enjoyed the absence of mosquitos. The south-of-the-border teenagers enj American rock-n-roll, too, as Denis sho us. Armed with his guitar, the “Fr Bandito” serenaded us with a Spanish versi of “Feelings” and quickened the pace “Bennie and the Jets” at the Christmas tale show. The language of music is definitely ternational. Denis came in useful in the Spani classes as a quick source of translations, I: mostly the students enjoyed Denis’ warm’p sonality and quick wit.

The first grade contributed an amazing sum of $559.20, the most raised by any class. The total amount raised was $3219.28 half of which goes to the classes for instructional aids and half goes to the Student Council to purchase honor jackets and nearly 1000 pounds of Christmas candy.

HALLOWEEN ROYALTY-41 Naughty horse is big delight Witches, spooks, goblins, and even Donald Duck visited the gym at the Halloween Program on October 25. Since the theme of the program was Halloween in Oklahoma,” six prancing girls dressed in red, white, and blue entertained with a tribute to Oklahoma. Next, to get everyone in the mood of Halloween, Tammy Sparkman read the poem “What is Halloween.” With the aid of their canes those feeble five-year-olds managed to make it-in spite of their rheumatism and lumbago. Several Halloween songs were presented by the elementary with the aid of such instruments as sticks, blocks, and bells. The costumes were fantastic; who would have ever guessed the cats, chickens, and pigs from Old Mac- Donald’s farm were really third graders. The traditional black pot and witches added to the horror, when the fourth graders began clacking those bones together. Other spectacular attractions came from the fifth and sixth grades in the form of a colorful owl and that unforgettable horse who captivated the audience with his mischief. Bringing the finale to a close was the Small Choir who harmonized beautifully singing two songs. All decked out in their Halloween costumes are the first grade as they sing two songs. 42—HALLOWEEN PROGRAM Left: The fourth grade entertains with three songs.

HALLOWEEN PROGRAM -43 Cheerleaders perform snappy routine with Ranger Band A cheerleader is a combination of pep, smiles, and school spirit. Tryouts for this honor were held before school was out for the summer and ten girls were chosen. Later, during basketball season others joined the squad. Summer practices were held twice weekly in order to reach perfection for the opening game. With help from the Ranger band, the cheerleaders per- formed their snappy routine to “Saturday Night.” Fridays—game days—were the busiest for the cheer- leaders. They were busy making plans for pep rallies, making spirit posters and leading chants in the hall to help back the mighty Rangers. “I wish I could do that,” says Jason Whitsitt as Charlene practices a cheer. The football cheerleaders are Janice Matlock, Cathy Russell, Lorie Nichols, Thelma Daniel, Pam Owens, Jeanette Wood, Cletus Owens, Melissa Gantt, and Randa Roberts.

There was excellent attendance, participation, and spirit from both the pep club and the fans who followed them. 46-PEP CLUB Lisa Efurd and Greg Barnes enjoy watching the Rangers play football in spite of the cold.

The pre- sentation of a full-length play requires many hours of hard study and practice. The memorization of lines is, within itself, a monumental task. The leading lines in this play were hundreds of lines long. Several students cooperated in getting together the furniture and props for the stage. Costuming, especially well done in EARNEST, required diligent effort on the part of several students. The comedy was built around the attraction that the name Earnest held for two young ladies: one from the city, Gwendolyn Fairfax and one from the country, Cecily Cardew. Neither of the two young men were named Earnest but pretended to be Earnest to win their favor. Besides the fall play, the speech classes planned two other dramatic works: THE RANSOM OF RED CHIEF by Anne Coulter Martens, an adaptation of O’Henry’s famous short story; and MOONCALF MUGFORD, by Brainerd Duffield and Helen and Nolan Leary. Dr. Pickartz explains about voice tones. Mrs. Lattimore gives last minute instructions. 48-PLAY Mike Burcham applies stage make-up. Prompters have to keep on their toes.

Gauchos and earth shoes make debut Haircuts, new clothes, patterns, shoes, boots, jewelry, and cosmetics are all a part of the fashion scene today. New hairstyles included the New Yorker, the Wedge, and the Short n’ Sassy. Fashions are not always of the dress-up variety. Blue jeans, overalls, and the socks maintained their status, but dresses did begin to make a comeback. Hem- lines hovered near or just below the knee in spite of designer’s efforts to. drop them con- siderably. Boots reappeared, topped with the gauchos, and the earth shoes made their debut. The Juniors looked forward to being in fashion with their class rings. Here Jerry Brook selects a stone. 50-FASHIONS Winter storm delights kids Are we going to get out of school? How many inches! How cold is it suppose to get? These were just a few of the comments that were heard before we received the worst snow storm we’ve had since March 1947. Area businesses and schools were brought to a standstill, but to the youngsters the icy roads and sub- zero temperatures meant a week out of school, lots of snow-cream, building snowmen, and taking it easy. ockwise: Dana Roberts, Donald Roberts, Ramona Speir, John Speir, lackie Jeremiah, Larry mce, Jerri Wasson, Randa Roberts, Vickie tnson, joe Southern, Davida Allen, Brian Couthren.

Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without the traditional nativity scene. These Christmas presents (alias Julie Matthews and Brent Webb) add interest to the program Program closes with impressive nativity scene The Christmas spirit could be felt in the Roland gym as the Christmas Program got underway with the sleepy-headed kindergarteners. In their pajamas, they waited for Santa Claus as they sang “Up On The Housetop.” First graders were dressed as Christmas presents or as beautiful angels softly ringing tambourines. Knee socks, short pants, long dresses with aprons and caps were the attire for the second graders who sang Silent Night” in German and two other songs. Carolers in coats and caps, reindeer, Santa,- who checked his lists to see who was naughty or nice-, and even the various toys were the third graders who told us Santa was on his way. With the stage beautifully decorated, gorgeous costumes, angels, shepherds, and wise men, the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades presented a pantomine of the tradi- tional nativity scene. Eleven seventh and eighth graders sang “Is It Far To Bethlehem.” Joyfully singing four songs, the High School Choir brought the program to a close.

This money was used to pay for the fifth annual Spanish Club Ban- quet which was held on December 2nd in the newly redecorated El Palacio Restaurant. Highlighting this year’s program were Mrs. Nancy Zechiedrich, Spanish instructor at Westark, who gave an interesting account of her recent trip to Mexico and exchange student Denis Martinez from the Central American country of Nica- ragua. Reigning over the festivities were King Terry Reese, Queen Randa Roberts, Prince David Jeremiah, and Princess Pennie Bailey. Everyone seemed to enjoy the banquet and said it would not be their last. Nancy Zechiefrich, guest speaker at the Spanish Banquet, answers a question of Mr. Cosner. Mark, Kathy, and Vanessa enjoy the food. These Seniors try the-chips before dinner.

Jeannie has been with the year- book staff for two years and has also been active in choir and is a member of the flagteam. Elected as princess was Tina Roberts. Tina is the 1977 co-editor-in-chief and has been on the staff for two years. Tina has participated in basketball for a number of years and was recently named Miss R. H. S. for '77. 60-ANNUAL QUEEN Kathy Harvell is making careful preparations for her next experiment. Students form science club ‘“To better understand the field of science and learn more about life” is the goal of Roland’s first science club. There are a total of twenty-five active members. A student may be a member if he or she has had two years of science or is currently enrolled in a science class. To raise money for various trips and projects, the club members sold social security plates. They were quite busy all year. The club traveled to Oklahoma University for Science Day and were able to talk to the professors about careers in the different fields of science. They were pleased that they were allowed to participate in some of the projects at 0. U. During the Christmas holidays, the club held a Christmas party at the home of their science instructor, Mr. Speir. The Science Club officers for 1976-1977 are Kim Myers, historian; Curtis Knauls and Rick Mitchell, sentinel; Jody Jones, president; Kathy Harvell, vice-president; Mona Vaughan, treas- urer; and Christine Shamblin, secretary. Their sponsor is Mr. Speir. Members are J. Clark, W. Hyatt, M. Vaughan, L. Efurd, K. Harvell, E. Mosby, C. Shamblin, C. tnauls, T. Watts, R. Chapman, N. Gray, N. Gage, B. George, K. Barthel, D.

SCIENCE CLUB-61 New materials enrich library The library is under constant remodeling and improving. This year the library acquired approxi- mately 500 new books, twenty record albums, three new book trucks, and subscriptions to thirty magazines. Magazines are now well pre- served and organized with the use of twenty new binders, which makes it easy for students to find information. Students from the English, speech, and history classes have found the new magazines to be an invaluable source of informa- tion from which to make reports and term papers. Lower Left: Cheryl Wasson and Debbie Jeremiah help Mrs. Gazzola with assessing. Below: Sonja Schleiff and Patty Slate sort magazines. Librarians are Steve Helms, Joni Asbill, Nancy Gage, Angie Chamberlain, Debbie Jeremiah, Karen Snyder, Phyllis Oxford, David Jeremiah L C Wann, Vickie Drake, Kathy McGuire, Michelle Wilson, Mrs. Gazzola, Kim Taylor, Vanessa Click, Cheryl Wasson, Sandy Price, Geneva Matlock Sonja Schleiff, Patty Slate, Mary Bailey, Darlene Younger, and Donna Clark. 62-LIBRARY Below: Grade school children prepare for open house by cleaning up their rooms. Parents and students talk with Mr. Speir and Mr. Wood. Parents invited to open-house Inclement weather including sub- zero temperatures and an eight inch snow caused the open-house to be post- poned until January 24. Parents were invited to come and look over the facilities and to visit with their child’s teachers about the students progress. Refreshments were served by the stu- dent council. Above: Mrs. Brewster discusses the children’s progress with their parents. Top: Mr. Watts shows Mrs. Giesler a display of ceramics made by students. OPEN HOUSE-63 Freshmen get down to basics Blaines Owens works hard to complete his English lesson. “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?” echoed through the halls as the Freshmen were reading Shakespeare’s ROMEO AND JULIET. They also enjoyed reading of little Pip’s adventures in GREAT EXPECTATIONS. Favor- ite short stories were the hilarious “Ransom of Red Chief” and an all time favorite “The Lady or the Tiger?” They also received a taste of poetry and learned the basics of grammar and composition. Melissa Russell enjoys working for good grades in her English class. Filmstrips add reinforcemeni The Juniors learned about famous American writers such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, and Edgar Allan Poe. These and many others were studied in depth and reinforced through the use of filmstrips. They read short stories such as “The Fal! of the House of Usher,” “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” and “The Lottery.’4 They read poems such as “The Raven” and “The Death of the Hired Man.” They also wrote compositions and did book reports. Sophomores like novels Steve Helms is busy writing his com- position for literature. The Sophomores spent some time reading Shakespeare’s JULIUS CAESAR. However, they said they liked the novels SILAS MARNER and THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY even better. Some well-liked short stories were “The Verger,” “Contents of a Dead Man’s Pocket,” “The Masque of the Red Death,” and “The Revolt of Mother.” They also studied about the eight parts of speech, phrases, clauses, and correct punctua- tion. 66-CLASSES )effrey Roberts is having no difficulty keeping these students interested in what he is saying. These students listen attentively as Ricky Hicks gives his speech. SENIORS STUDY GREAT AUTHORS The Seniors at Roland study great works by English authors, They read Shakespeare’s MACBETH and Chaucer's CANTERBURY TALES. Other favorites were “Beowulf,” “Paradise Lost,” and selections by the romantic writers. The study of grammar and litera- ture were incorporated into writing assignments. Most students found that vocabulary was one of their weak- nesses and attempted to correct this. Other activities included preparing for the ACT test and listening to guest speakers from visiting colleges such as OU and OSU. Tom Cosner as McDuff displays the head of Macbeth (Terry Nichols). SPEECH CLASS VISITS THEATER The speech classes were very busy ones this year. They attended speech contests, went on class trips, and also found time to put on a three-act play entitled THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST. The cast party was held in the home of Dr. Pickartz. By attending the Oklahoma Theatre Center’s productions and serving as ushers the students learned a great deal about good theatre. Some students asked to usher every month even though the trips to Oklahoma City were long and the return late. One group attended the presentation of DR. COOK’S GARDEN at Westark. NICARAGUAN ADDS INTEREST The Spanish I students were quickly introduced to using simple everyday expressions in Spanish. They soon learned to conjugate, in the present tense, regular verbs and later the more difficult irregular ones. They, along with the Spanish II class, benefited from the arrival of Denis Martinez, the exchange student from Nicaragua. He helped to increase their vocabularies, and with a little help from Mrs. Adams, the Spanish II class found they could understand much of what he was saying. The Spanish II class learned to conjugate verbs in the other tenses and also increased their vocabularies through the use of flash cards. Cammy Her , Eddie Mosby, Pennie Bailey, |udy Sessums, Vanessa Click, and Mrs. Adams listen careful.y to Denis Martinez, the exchange student from Nicaragua. CLASSES—67 Leroy Brown is demonstrating to Ronnie Riddle his techniques of painting. m Art class is individualized The Art Department offers individualized art on three levels. Each student works on a problem of his choice. The problems include sketching and painting in charcoal, ink, tempera, acrylics, pastels, water colors, and oils. The subjects used for these media are still lifes, landscapes, portraits, figures, and abstracts. The students are free to choose their sched- ule. Since they buy their own supplies, they are free to take their work home. Lectures and audio-visuals are used periodically. The students tour a museum about once a month. Pam Owens, Leigh Ann Shook, and Robbie Anderson enjoy sharing paints in the art class. Business offers career choices Accounting and typing are just two of the business courses offered at Roland. The instructors of these classes do their best to prepare the stu- dent to take his place in the business world. These classes teach the students office skills and the importance of doing their best in class so that someday their skills will help to provide for them a good future. There are two typing classes offered. Typing teaches each student the basics. Typing II teaches skills necessary ft functioning well in an office. Studer- learn to type invoices, business letter and job applications. Accounting al teaches students to keep books ar. records for a business and informs tfc student about bank accounts an: many other areas that will help the in their personal lives as well as in th business world. After typing their work, Reta Price and Lisha Nolan proofread it. In accounting Eddie Mosby finds the adding machine very convenient. Becky George and Beth White work inten: to finish the accounting assignment. 68-CLASSES Ranger staff is on the go Drivers ed. is popular Teamwork is an important aspect of the Ranger newspaper. The mem- bers of the staff cooperate fully with each other to make each newspaper they publish better than the last one. The staff works diligently to print a newspaper about once a month and distribute it throughout the school. The newspaper keeps us informed about all school events, as well as clueing us in on the latest fads, fashions, and even the latest gossip. The gossip section is one of the most popular columns read by the students at Roland. Since its beginning some ten years ago, each new staff has worked hard to modernize and im- prove the newspaper. The compli- ments which the staff receive prove that they are doing an excellent job. Editor, Theresa Day is careful as she types a page of the newspaper on a stencil. Helen, Kim, Tracy, and Kathy enjoy running the mimeograph machine. To the Sophomores who are nearing sixteen, Drivers Education ranks among the top courses on the schedule. One reason for its popularity is that it is fun, but another reason is that it helps to get better rates on insurance. The first nine weeks the stu- dents learn the basics of operating the car, to parallel park and to change a tire. They are also taught to drive under different weather conditions which are very likely to occur in Oklahoma. Mr. Harrell teaches the students to drive in all kinds of traffic and weather. CLASSES—69 Members of the newspaper staff are Theresa Day, Helen Curl, Kim Barnes, jerri Wasson, Brenda Grant, Kim Taylor, Tracy Tate, Kathy Morris, and advisor, Mrs. Stewart. Mr. Harrell assures Roxane Gardner that she will do just fine. Students save by sewing Students are involved in many activities related to home economics. This is an art which can give a wonder- ful opportunity to gain satisfaction by expressing ones originality and creative talents. Clothing is one of the most popular projects. There are many advantages in making ones own clothes. One can save money and at the same time select the latest fabrics, styles, and colors to compliment the individual. Acquiring a knowledge of construction and fabrics, they become better shoppers. Anna Southern and Pam Gray are busy at work putting together their garments. Helen Curl and Regina Matlock won red and blue ribbons respectively at the Ark.-Okla. Fair. ABOVE: At the sewing machine, Robbie is working very hard to finish her clothing project. Disappointed Roxana learns that her fabric is not suitable for her pattern. A student at Mellies ‘School of Modelin shows the audience how to greeze model. 70-HOME EC. Cammy Hepson and )oni Asbill show to the class two of the History projects. Sandy, Debbie, and Cheryl read an interesting article about Hitler. Bob Parris and Ted Riscnhoover present Mr. Barnes with the flag of Oklahoma, which flew over our national capitol. Classes visit many sites The History classes visited several interesting sites throughout the year. The Oklahoma History class went to the Old Fort Museum and to Judge Parker’s Courtroom. After having seen slides of famous lawmen and desperate outlaws, they were shown a miniature replica of the gallows. The sociology- government classes went to the Court House in Fort Smith. They visited the photo department and briefing room. Also, they were shown a map of where most accidents and crimes occur. The American History students visited the capitol in Oklahoma City. One of their assignments was to create a project depicting some phase of American History. HISTORY-71 m—inn ........... Geometry students pay close attention as Mr. Condren explains a problem on the chalk- board. Angels try new angles A new teacher and a new class are two reasons that curious students enrolled in plane geometry this year. Through the year Mr. Condren’s stu- dents studied axioms, postulates, theorems, congruent figures and their properties, and geometric proofs. They learned to work with formulas of area, perimeter, and volume which aid in problem solving, and they even worked on calculator problems. Terry Nichols and Wally Beaty find the calcu- lator useful even in working on geometry problems. General Math students study metric system General math is a basic math course which is useful to students in planning careers or just in everyday living. Students found general math an important part of their education because they studied the metric system which is becoming the standard reference for measuring both weight and length. They did basic operation? with whole numbers and they worked with decimals and percents. General math students also learned to work with several formulas which aid in everyday problem solving. Algebra is challenging Only one year of math required by students in high scho General math, geometry, a Algebra I and II are the math cour offered. Ambitious students w plan to attend college or those w plan careers such as airplane pilo engineers, and chemists fi Algebra I and II very help toward preparing for their caree These students worked hard all yi solving linear and quadratic eqt tions, studying the metric syste learning to add, subtract, multip and divide sign numbers, a working with the number lii Algebra students were also int duced to trigonometry which v be helpful to those who plan attend college. 72-CLASSES Science class does experiments General science is the basic study of our biological and physical world. Stu- dents studied the changes of the earth’s surface and how it is related to other heavenly bodies. They also studied the causes of weather conditions, the dif- ferent systems of the body, and electric currents. Experiments are a big part of general science. Experiments concerning the rustingof metal, the makeup of soil, and the process of forming ice by evaporation are only a few of the ex- periments performed. Right: Biology students work intently with their microscopes. joanne Turpin and Patty Henson do an experiment to determine the content of starch in a leaf. Students try research Biology is a very challenging course because of the vast and complex ideas one must attempt to master in one year. Mr. Speir kept his students busy trying to learn as much as possible. More than one- half of these students’ class time was used in laboratory research. Since the microscope is an im- portant instrument used in research, each student must learn the parts of the microscope and its uses. While studying the different systems of the body and their functions students dissected a mouse. This helped them to recognize various organs and to better understand their functions. College bound need chemistry Chemistry is an advanced course for the more intellectual individuals. It is a combined course of algebraic equations and chemical formulas. One important tool in chemistry is the periodic chart of elements which the students memorize because it contains essential information needed in order to do experiments. Students did experiments concerning electro- lisis, the balancing of atomic equa- tions, and the mass of atoms. Kathy Harvell and )ody (ones take inventory of the chemistry supplies. CLASSES—73 Girls enjoy T “nail ensemble drew a large crowd they sang at the Halloween program. choir trips This year the choir consists of girls only.

Some of the events the band attended this year included a marching contest held at Tahlequah in October. They rated a “2” in marching and a 1” in inspec- tion at this contest. Also, the band participated in one historic event-the burying of a time capsule by the Sequoyah County Historical Society. Area bands, including ours, played as the capsule which will be opened 100 years from now—was buried on the courthouse lawn at Sallisaw. The band also marched in several local Christmas parades and. provided half-time entertainment for the home and away football games. The band attended an instrumental contest in Muskogee. T wo members of the band made Junior High District Band: Becky Rowland, who plays the saxophone and Shelton Rogers, who plays the trumpet. Twirlers are Tracy Tate, Cheryl Wasson, Robbie Anderson, and Shelly Roberts. Flag team members are Nikita Gray, Diane Price, Kenda Barthel, Jeannie Wilson, Debbie Fletcher, Debbie Jeremiah, Pam Gray, Cindy Wilson, Janice Matlock, Lisa Efurd, Teana Tann, and Sandy Price. BAND-75 Performing at the Sallisaw Christmas Parade and Halloween Carnival was one of the band’s many activities. Students plan for Tri-State Getting suitcases ready, keep- ing uniforms in order, and raising money were some of the many things the band had to do to get ready for their big trip to Enid, Oklahoma. Enid is the site of the annual Tri-State Convention and each member considers this trip to be one of the high-lights of his mu- sical career. For the band members’ comfort, they chartered a bus with the money they had raised from various projects. This year’s band is one of the largest ever. It is made up of fifty- seven hard working members, who are all under the direction of Mr. Allen Lawson. The band is com- posed of thirty-nine musicians, twelve flagteam members, and four twirlers. The officers for the band this year are Debra Owens, president; Debbie Jeremiah, vice-president; Nikita Gray, secretary-treasurer; and reporter Christine Shamblin. 76-BAND PERCUSSION T. Garner S.

The expression, This getting up early to catch the Vo-tech bus is kill- ing me,” has been said by more than one of the students who attend the Vo-tech school at Sallisaw. This early rising is unpopular but the classes are not. Most students feel that the train- ing they receive is worth the effort. These students are able to take such classes as masonry, auto mechanics, and refrigeration. A new class offered this year is Health Occupations. These students are able to learn on the job by working at local hospitals and nurs- ing homes.

Greg Barnes and Leroy Brown finish their gun cab- inets. creativeness The sound of hammers, saws, and the occasional “ouch” as one hits his thumb can be heard echoing from the tin building as the woodworking class complete their projects. The class, under the direction of Wayne Watts, are making such articles as gun cab- inets, stereo cabinets and even a minia- ture grandfather clock. Since the boys buy their own materials, they are able to keep what they make or give them as gifts. Woodworking class gives the boys a chance to test their skills and creativity. WOODWORKING-79 Projects bring in revenue Some of the boys may feel that Ag. has lost some of its traditions since the infiltration of sixteen females into the horticulture program—the most keenly felt loss being that of the Freshman initiation and the campout. However, some would agree that the added charm is worth the sacrifice. The greenhouse has continued to bloom with beauty and the students are learning not only how to raise veg- etables and flowers but also how to sell them. These projects keep 100 stu- dents working happily. Study is an important part of Ag. James Kling, Mark Fletcher and Ben Daniels work hard at potting the Coleus plants.

BOYS PREFER WELDING CLASS One of the most popular projects with boys is that of welding even though it may be one of the more dan- gerous parts of the Ag scene. The boys start to learn welding in their Sopho- more year then work up to making cattle racks, headgates and feeders. Not only do they make them for the welding practice but they also sell them for money to buy more equip- ment or to sustain the Ag fund. Over $5,000 has been spent for new equip- ment. Mr. Rogers has introduced new projects to the chapter such as booms, carry-alls and squeeze shoots. Mr. Howell and Mr. Rogers say that learn- ing to weld and using a cutting torch will be essential to these boys in the years to come. Sanding the welds off a metal frame can be very simple,” says Jackie Chapman.

Chuck Kolp slips through the Muldrow de- fense in an attempt for a first down. The 1976 Rangers, undaunted by preseason polls, set out to prove that they were one of the best teams in the state. Spirits soared when the mighty Rangers walloped their all time arch- rival Muldrow for the third year in a row. Defeated by Westville, the Rang- ers bounced back to a winning season. The Rangers supported by their many fans traveled to Stigler to play the Wildcats in the first game of the state playoffs. The game ended in overtime with the Rangers going down to defeat with a score of 7 to 6. The Rangers ended their season with a successful rec- ord of 12-2. 88-FOOTBALL PRE-SEASON POLLS Roland Opponent 26 Keota 12 26 Mu Id row 20 44 Warner 15 20 Heavener 8 16 Westville 26 27 Vian 12 30 Hulbert 0 18 Haskell 15 35 Sequoyah 0 26 Atoka 20 6 Stigier 7 FOOTBALL-89 RANGER SCOREBOARD Top left: Tony Knauls races down the field for a touchdown.

They play on any avail- able space—a field, a backyard, or even a street. These games are the beginning of something that may become very important to them. As they grow older they begin to play on school teams and get better instructions from the coaches. All this time they have a dream, something they have looked forward to ever since those first backyard games-to play for their high school team. It's not easy to be a member of the team. It takes complete dedication and all out effort every minute. They will, however, work harder than they have ever worked to build a winning team. -Randy Martin Grade team: Coach Wood, D. Lowe, S.

Many people were eager for the home- coming to arrive because it had been postponed ten days due to bad weather. Chuck Kolp, president of the Stu- dent Council, introduced the royalty. The band played softly as the First Maid Miss Charlene Breedlove, a senior guard, was escorted by Paul Hodgens through an entrance way formed by the players and cheerleaders. The Second Maid Miss Sharon Williams, a senior forward, appeared next with her escort Vincent Ward. Both girls looked lovely in formal gowns and carrying white mums decorated with an R in the middle and orange and black streamers. Capturing the attention of the crowd were the flowergirl, petite and graceful, Tonda Roberts and the handsome crownbearer Sean Driscoll. Both children are in kindergarten. Then the moment arrived that every- one had been waiting for, the appear- ance of the queen. The players kneeled as a radiant Kathy, dressed in a beautiful gown of kelly green accented with a light green floral print chiffon jacket, made her debut. Kathy, a senior guard, was crowned queen, given the traditional kiss, and pre- sented with a lovely bouquet by her escort, Rick Oberstc. Kathy and her court were then escorted to the stage where they viewed the boys’ game. Sharon and Charlene hurry to have the decorations in the gym done in time for the home- coming. Kathy helps in the decoration of the gym. The players and cheerleaders who formed an aisle in the center of the court look on expectantly as the queen approaches for the ceremonies. BASKETBALL HOMECOMING-99 POTEflll The Poteau game was a really tough one, but we got our stuff together and put forth a great team effort. It’s really nice knowing that we defeated one of the best teams. by Robert Davis STILLWELL Our crucial mistake was that we let them get too far ahead at the first of the game and we couldn’t make a comeback. But we played them a good second half. by Dwayne Roberts CHECOTAH Our team wasn’t really ready for that game. Out big problem was that we played sloppy, but we managed to improve, and catch up with them before it was too late. by Tony Knauls MULPROW This was the first game that we’ve played with Muldrow this year.

One reason this was true is because one of our better players didn’t suit up. I think this was to our disadvantage. -by Lloyd Trotter BOYS BASKETBALL-103 Rangerettes get new coach The Rangerettes started off their season with many changes-including a new coach. Coach Lewis encouraged the girls to get them- selves in tip-top shape by running and doing calisthenics. The Rangerettes spent many long hours practicing after school and on weekends in order to be able to play to their full potential in the season opener against Gore. Much emphasis was placed on improving quickness with special drills. After what seemed like months of preparation, the Rangerettes confi- dently took the floor and easily showed their superiority over Gore. The next few games were easy victories for the Rangerettes, but several of the next heated battles were lost by only a small margin. Although these losses cost them the conference championship, the Rangerettes approached the District Tourna- ment with high hopes and fierce determina- tion. Sharon Williams jumps high to get the tip as the Rangerettes begin their attack on Pocola. Vicki determinedly shoots a jumper for two. GORE “This was our season opener and we knew we had to play our best to prove to everyone we meant business.

Fun factory” equals work Limps, groans, and sweat were common sights and sounds after school, and when one saw one of these be- draggled creatures crawling out of the gym, last hour, one knew he belonged to the elite set of Mr. Farney’s weight lifting class. This inspired group of souls have such stamina; they can endure working for thirty minutes and conclude with an invigorating set of 100 sit-ups. 108-WEIGHTLIFTING (Although the last twenty dwindle to a quick bob of the head when Mr. Farney is not looking.) Humor is often injected in course, and can be seen in the pile-ups of backwards runners when everyone jumps on the guy who fell, or when the overhead press breaks and Greg Barnes falls flat on his back. Often, Mr. Farney has a hard time counting the 100 sit- ups, so the boys chorus in and help. The guys have devised their own system of counting which goes something like “1, 2,4, 7, 9,13,....” Seriously, though, these boys give 110% effort in this course. Shaping up for track and football is not something they take lightly. It seems that “Farney’s Fun Factory” has found the right combination for fun and work. Below: Summer football was a favorite pastime for many of the boys. Muscles stretch taut as Greg Barnes endeavors to complete his chin-up.

PHYSICAL FITNESS-109 Athletics tests sportsmanship With the aid of Coach Farney and Coach Lewis the junior high teams have worked toward building a suc- cessful athletic program. Hours of practice, both in school and out, have contributed to a successful season even when the score was not in our favor. Throughout the season everyone showed a great deal of ability, effort, and sportsmanship which are the real tests of an athlete.

Quickness is a necessity Basketball is a vigorous activity which is played by many of the fifth and sixth grade boys and girls. In the Arkoma Tournament, the boys won a first place trophy and the girls received a second place trophy. Another sport which requires a lot of energy and quickness is boxing. Boys ranging in age from five to nineteen practice many hours for their upcoming matches. They too have won many trophies at area tournaments. BOXING-BASKETBALL-113 i New member joins board For five conscientious, hard-work- ing men, the educational welfare of nearly 900 students is a number one priority. Problems continually arise which must be solved with much delib- eration and forethought and with con- sideration of what is best for each child. With an eye to the future the board of education approved the pur- chase of approximately $65,000 worth of land to be used for playgrounds, and possible building sites. They also approved the hiring of a learning disa- bilities teacher to aid those with a high I. Q., but who are unable to excel in a regular classroom situation. These and countless other decisions help to keep Roland Public Schools on thi move and as up-to-date and modern as any school of its size in the state. Joining the board this year was Mr. Danny Oberstc who was elected to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Mr. Bob Rogers. Mr. Matlock, su- perintendent, reports that all these men have been excellent to work with and that the community is fortunate to have such dedication.

This year a total of forty-nine educators combined efforts to guarantee that each child achieve to the best of his ability. Five interns were also a part of our instructional staff for at least a part of the year. To provide for more individual atten- tion, parents volunteered to help on the grade school campus. This was especially helpful in the primary grades where individual attention is so vital in getting each child off to a good start. Other helpful new programs included the class for learning disabilities and the class for handicapped children which was provided by the Regional Educational Services Center.

It takes the concerted ef- forts of many, and the time and ener- gy of our personnel staff. Several new items have been purchased in the cafe- teria. These items include a steam oven, a malt machine, and a walk-in freezer. New vacuum cleaners and buffers assist the custodians. At least one new bus is purchased each year, and is dispensed on a rotating basis.

Some of us have been togeth- er from the first grade to the twelfth, while others joined our class through the years. We are the graduating class of ’77 and must make many im- portant decisions before the year ends. The major issue is whether or not to attend col- lege. While many will choose to continue their education, others will prefer to go straight to work. The count- down begins and we must de- cide. Everyone must make his own decision because we enter into society not as a class—but as an individual. Charlene Breedlove 122-SENIORS Speaker at 19 Honor Roll. Honor Roll.

It was not unusual to see people selling food in the halls at noon. Kathy Vance, who was selling doughnuts, had quite a shock when Warren Riddle grabbed her box and ate half of her doughnuts before she could get it back. Of course, he insisted on paying for the doughnuts he had eaten after Kathy threatened to disconnect his arms from his body. The Jr.-Sr. Banquet is always one of the highlights of the year. Of course, it does require a lot of work for the Junior Class because it's their responsibility to plan the banquet and pay for the expenses. Early in the fall, Mrs. Stewart helps the Juniors decide on a theme for this occasion and they work hard to raise enough money to make the banquet a NOT MV great success. STEREO!

After everyone orders a ring that reflects his or her special taste, they wait anxiously for their arrival. A€¥ TTiSTTB Juniors and Seniors who plan Several Juniors found it necessary to get jobs this summer. Lisa Efurd, Lori Nichols, Thelma Daniel, Shelly Behunin, and Kim Taylor all found jobs at the Dairy Queen in Ft. Smith. Bonanza employed several Roland students such as Cammie Henson, Brenda Burcham, Vickie Henson and David Jeremiah. Other Juniors found jobs at places such as 7UP Bottling Company and even at El Chicho’s. Summer Jobs to enter college must take the ACT test. Some feel it is better to take the test as Juniors since the grading scale used is more lenient. Bulletin boards and other notices continually remind the students to get their application in before the deadline. Throughout the school year Juniors have been taking the ACT test hoping to make high scores. Judy Sessums and Cammy Henson work hard to meet an annual deadline.

It seems that Mr. Watts was the dem- onstrator. Accident Prone Well at least we have one soph- omore who is humane. Did you hear about Bobby Williamson running off into a ditch while out riding his motorcycle only to avoid hitting the little dog that ran out in front of him. After that Bobby, unfortunately had to be taken to the doctor to have his hand X-rayed. It seems that Mike Burcham's eyes have been playing tricks on him. Did you hear about the time he was riding his motorcycle in Ft. Smith? He looked at the traffic light and somehow thought it was green, but the car in front of him (which he didn’t even see) thought the light was on red. The car stopped, but Mike didn’t-that is, until he felt the crunch that came when he hit the car in front of him. IPilftMOTT Ml One of the happiest days in a sophomore’s life is the day he gets his permit to drive the car. There were many sophomores who were anxious to get into the drivers education class so that they would get to take the test. Oh I'm so scared I’ll fail, or I hope I pass the test, was what one was likely to hear from the sopho- mores who were scheduled to take the test. Most were success- ful, however, and are now helping the rest of us contribute to the oil shortage.

One freshman boy, Gary Chronister, has had double trouble. He broke his ankle once in football practice and then again in a football game. It seems as though Gary hasn’t been very lucky during this football season. PD'iiDTF They tell us our educational system is improving and that students are getting smarter. David Barnes, however, seems to feel that some changes are in order and that in some situations more fingers are needed. Just ask him to organize some papers for you. Once when Mrs. Adams asked him to alphabetize a set of papers, she explained to David, “Separate the papers between your fingers.” “But I don’t have twenty-six fingers,” David replied. clotontng ooegn't Rhonda Barthel found that goofing off sometimes doesn’t pay. Ask her about the time she fell through a glass door at a service station while “funning” with her friends. It seems that she was lying down on the job; she was supposed to be participating in a cheerleader-sponsored car wash. Although there were no serious injuries, she was taken to the hospital and had to have stitches in her hand.

Charlene Breedlove found this to be true one day when she stuck her finger into the cage; Fred took a bite out of it. When Charlene removed her finger from the cage and saw all the blood, she thought she had lost her whole hand. uhy m« Accidents seem to plague the eighth graders. Missy Speir broke her foot in a basketball game against Pocola. Terry Smith received a bad cut on the back of the head, while playing soccer during the noon break. It has been rumored that the sharp instrument which caused the cut was a seventh grader’s tooth.

At least one of these tales is true. Alan Tate succeeded in swiping Coach Lewis' coke and putting salt in it. Then he conned Hugh Teague into giving it back to the coach. After one swallow the coach demanded to know what had happened to his coke. Until this day we don't think Coach Lewis has discovered who the culprit was. Repeat ... until this day!

TEMPERS Fatal performance ? Even sixth graders get emotionally involved in poli- tics. Some get so wrapped up that tempers flare and they actually come to blows. That’s what happened when Brenda and Steve tried to campaign for their favorites back in November... or so a little bird told us! The first time the sixth graders had to compose a poem and read it to the class, everything went fine until Mrs. Shackelford called for Randy Smith to recite. Randy just sat there. Mrs. Shackelford looked at him and said, Randy let’s hear yours.” Sweating nervously, Randy struggled through it but Mrs. Shackelford said she was afraid he was going to pass out. But Randy wasn’t by himself in his fear. Another student, Kevin Jones marched bravely to the front with his notebook in hand. He faced the class and opened his notebook, then proceeded to view the class through the holes in the wire notebook. When Mrs. Shackelford asked him to remove it, he just stood there frozen. Both boys survived, however, and now claim to be the best speakers in class. TT® tilhi® (p ® o ira 5 Is there anyone who doesn’t remember that delightful “horse” who performed with the sixth graders at the Halloween program. Well, as with any good performance, there is always a behind-the-scenes” story. It seems the tail was missing for a time and when Mrs. Webb found it, she hurriedly tacked it on with a straight pin. All the students thought it funny that the horse began to scream—that is, everyone except Wesley Allan ... the back of the horse. There may have been more candidates running for President than you knew. When the grade school had their own Presiden- tial election, Fonzie won hands down. Congratulations, Fonz! AAA Y!

One big problem is that of getting on the right bus. For Tim Coulter and probably many others, the problem is getting to the bus. One afternoon Tim was so slow in gathering up his books that he missed the bus and had to walk home. Needless to say he has picked up speed. They say he is now training for the Olympics that will be held in 1980. TOUCHDOWN! foopsj It was reported to us that one of the fifth grade boys got a little mixed up and didn’t know if he was coming or going. Having been fortunate enough to intercept a pass, he headed for the goal line— theirs, that is. We don’t know how his teammates felt, but the opposing team had nothing but praise for him. Oh well things happen in the heat of the game.

Tina Roberts and Charlene Breedlove paste up layouts at the Westark Seminar. Feelings of desperation descend on staff members Rewrite this copy. Re-do that layout. Try to get a better picture. We must sell more ads. These are only a few of the frantic thoughts of a ranger staff member. Standing in line waiting for help also causes frustration especially as deadline time draws near. These and countless other problems contribute to the feeling of desperation which often charac- terizes the atmosphere of the yearbook head- quarters. Nevertheless pictures eventually turn out right and copy usually begins to “gel” just in time; deadlines are met with a tremendous feeling of relief and accomplishment. This year's staff has worked super hard to bring you another good book—a collection of photos, memories, and statistics which were part of the school year 76-77. It was a memorable year in many respects. We hope our efforts help you to recapture the magic some twenty years from now when you happen to pick up a copy of the “Rangers in Focus.” ANNUAL-207 There was at sometime a little child in all of us, more in some than in others. What has helped us to grow from children to adults was our days at Roland High School. We grew in age as well as in the knowledge; we gained through experience and involvement. We were involved in campus activities academically and physically. We grew through new people, new places, new happenings, and new responsibilities. We are a part of RHS because RHS happened through us, helping us to get our lives in FOCUS. 208-CLOSING
