Right: Pep assemblies help us to be more enthusiastic. 2-OPENING School spirit is encouraged as the Ranger insignia is painted on the gym. I am free to be what I am and the only limitations are in my own mind. I am free to believe what I wish, and to achieve what I may. I am free to express myself. I am able to stand up for my rights. I am free to be me! Above: Lunch time finds these students relaxing on the new benches in the shade of the lonely tree. Center: Cletus and Lawrence know how to just be themselves. OPENING-3 Coach Martin tells the stu- dents about Warren's athletic accomplishments. Jerri ex- presses her choice for Student Council Secretary. I am free, yes, free to ex- press myself. I use many forms of expression, not only through my voice, but through my ac- tions, my emotions, my ambi- tions, and my life. I express myself through music, hobbies, writing poetry, playing football, and by just being myself. I have the chance, and if I grasp it tightly, I can find new forms of expression, because I am free to do so. ■ Football players help to keep spirits high at the bonfire held for the big game with Muldrow. 4-OPENING Left: Little cheerleaders rally for the team. Center: Car tags are a favorite form of expression. Below: Tiffanie Raney and Dor inda Jones seem to be discussing a matter of great importance. Above: Kim’s conversation seems to puzzle Debbie.

Right: Something has been missed in life if one has never experienced a ferris wheel, a merry-go-round, a swing set, or the line after school. 6-OPENING m oo rnrnm I know I am unique. I exper- ience different things—different, if only in a small way, from anyone else in the world. I am free to profit from my experiences and to learn from my mistakes. I am free to experience what I want, and I want to experience everything! I want to reach out and engulf the world, to know its highs and lows, to conform to it but still be myself. Above: Encouraged by Mike, Roxana tries to win another prize. Right: Exercises are one of the necessities of a fit football team. “Do your own thing. “Live your own life. ... leave us mm The leaves change as summer turns to fall.

We cut off our jeans and shake the beach towels free of moth- balls and ole’ Mr. Sun sets his fun-loving spell’on us. This summer was no excep- tion. Kerr Beach was barraged with stu- dents who were ecstatic with their tem- porary freedom. The summer progressed and tans turned to burns, so different forms of entertainment were sought. Concerts were a popular event, and several stu- dents attended the Willie Nelson Fourth of July Picnic, which also included Lynrd Skynyrd. The concert became a special memory because shortly thereafter three members of the Lynrd Skynyrd group were killed in a plane crash. The opening of the Beacon provided close-by job opportunities for many. Most students, although turned off by work, were addicted to the paychecks. Just as the last week of freedom arrived, the world was shocked by Elvis’s death. The world of music seemed doomed to lose some of its most influ- ential people, for Bing Crosby also died later in the year. School began and fall meant rush, but we still found time for T. V. The Yankees came out victorious over the Dodgers in the World Series. New shows were on the top list for discussion, espe- cially such controversial ones as Soap.” Cheryl Ladd replaced Farrah as Charlie's new Angel. With possibility of state champion- ship looming before them, students found football a top priority. Bonfires were held, late band practice became routine, and homecoming plans were all prepared as part of the general melee that fall brought on. becomes Above: Missy tries her luck with the baseball throw while Dwight waits his turn.

(yawn) Just 5 more minutes- PLEASE!” Monday mornings—everyone’s pet peeve. Gray, yucky, Monday_____the morning after the night before. Sleepy students wander aimlessly through the halls, struggling to emerge from the hapless limbo of Monday. Half-finished homework, muggy days, Monday night band practice, and bulging lockers, are all part of the beginning of the week. The only thing to look forward to is Monday Night Football and the hope that maybe tomorrow will be better. Above: Ronnie Freeman and Roger Johnson practice hard to learn their music. Top. Cindy Wilson is shocked as the paper and books tumble out of her locker. MONDAY-13 Above: Dennis sighs, Oh, nr another Monday. Top: Bobby helps out. “The king is gone... Although Tuesday is usually a rather non-descript day, with homework and class- work well under way, the death of the king of rock music made one Tuesday especially memorable. Elvis’ death not only shocked and stunned the world but also set off a wave of Presley mania at school. T- shirts, posters, art work, and even paperbacks became common place. Everyone seemed to want to preserve his memories of the man who had become a legend in our time. Veterans are honored on Tuesday, Nov. 1 Lisha Nolan uses her creativity to make a poster for the junior High football game while Lisa Kling works to finish her homework. 14—TUESDA' THE BEGINNING OF THE END Your average day starts when you pull on your average clothes, and drive your average car to school. But Wednesday, you get it together for something out of the average. It’s a day to express your individuality, to show that you’re something different. It doesn't matter if you say it by the way you dress, or by using a CB handle such as Hot Lips,” it’s still just a way of saying, “I’m me!” Above: The CB trend contin- ues to rage in Rangerland as Jerry Brooks asks for a “Break on his CB. Above Right: Carla Releford typifies the new fashions for fall. The Halloween poster in Mrs. Humphrey’s room may have given some ideas on how not to dress. 16—WEDNESDAY WEDNE Customizing ones vehicle is a way of expressing ones personality and a way of being different, ashions in cars are just as important as fashions in clothes. Above: Bear shows he is unique with a personalized belt. Top: These two make a cute couple in their matching T-shirts. WEDNESDAY — 17 These cheerleaders, Lisha Nolan. Roxana Gardner, and Toni Hill help boost school spirit by making signs with which they decorate the halls. 18—THURSDAY Hard work is a part of the newspaper! Kim Taylor works hard to finish her fashion and senior spotlight columns for the next deadline. One On a memorable Thursday at 8:30 Mrs. Bennett arrived car- rying her little satchel loaded with ring samples. One by one the excited juniors finally got to order their class rings. According to the Juniors, selections were bigger and better than ever. Facet, rainbow, white gold, or paladium were only a few of the decisions. Thursday seems to be a hectic day for everyone. There may be a few students who study for tests, but many claim to be too busy. Most Thursdays find the yearbook staff and the newspaper staff working indus- triously to get their articles completed by the deadline date. Other activities include the preparations for a Friday night’s game, hanging streamers, making posters to decorate the hall, and gathering wood for the bonfire to help boost school spirit. ____ of Thursday’s usuals is a huge bonfire before a football game.

Pep ral- lies, ballgames, and the BIG date all build up to the exciting peak of the week. After the game, we are off to the Pizza Hut or the latest movie. Of course, no Friday night would be com- plete without circling the Beacon or crusin' town. Above: Richard Harris uses his skill in trying to beat Tony Nichols in a game of foosball.

To achieve this honor one must be a junior or senior and be on the honor roll. Besides intelligence, personality is also a decisive factor for these titles since the winners are chosen by popular vote of the high school students. Both Greg and Lisa are leaders at Roland. Lisa is a senior representative to the Student Council and Greg is its president. Both have been voted Most Studious by their classmates for the past two years. 22 — MR. AND MISS RHS Mr. RHS, Greg Barnes, takes advantage of the first show and challenges Miss RHS, Lisa Efurd, to a showdown. MR.

Joe, Terry, Dwayne, and Creg award such various raffle items a Fry Baby, gasoline, and groceries. Student Council members Joe Southern and Laura Fletcher work the gate at the Halloween program. Council Works to Raise Funds To raise money for honor jackets and Christmas candy, the Student Council set up their spook house in the Ag. building at Halloween. The realism that the group achieved made this the most popular attraction of the carnival. Some of their other activities included assisting in the Halloween coronation, drawing for the raffle items and taking up money at the Halloween program. Later in the year they purchased Christmas candy which was distributed to all the students. They also helped with a clean-up campaign by providing new trash cans for the campus. STUDENT COUNCIL — 25 Lisa takes a quiet moment out of her busy schedule to read a few chapters from i.R.R. Tolkiens' book, The Hobbit.' Lisa and Vanessa put together a quick lunch of sandwiches and milk. Lisa, Vanessa are Named Honor Grads The competition for top honors of the 1978 graduating class was close. Main- taining a 4.00 grade average all through high school was Lisa Efurd, who re- ceived the title of Valedictorian. With an average of 3.98, Vanessa Click re- ceived the honor of Salutatorian. Both Lisa and Vanessa have par- ticipated in many activities at RHS. Lisa received the Masonic Award, was named Miss RHS, and was a Junior Miss contestant. Vanessa was co-editor of the yearbook, Senior class secretary, and was elected Ranger Queen. Both of these girls plan to continue their educa- tion in an institute of higher learning. 26 — VALEDICTORIAN-SALUTATORIAN Lisa and Vanessa take time out from their academic work to enjoy nature.

Six senior girls com- peted in the contest. Saturday afternoon the girls and judges were luncheon guests at the Old West Restaurant. The Master of Ceremonies for the evening was Mr. Jack Shermer; two former Jr. Misses, Pam Oberste and Sherri Efurd, handed down the crown. Helen Curl, modeling four- piece suit which she had made, won the talent award. The scholastic trophy and first runner-up was awarded to Lisa Efurd. After the judges' votes were counted, Hel- en Curl was named the new 1978 Roland Jr. Miss. Helen traveled to Miami, Oklaho- ma in January to compete in the state Jr. Miss contest. C=3 S3 ©D ©D |R.

Below: A birds-eye view of the carnival shows the many different people who attended and the ac- tivities in which one could participate. Rain Haunts Carnival Again Despite the rain on Saturday October 22, the fourth annual Halloween Carni- val was held on the football field as planned. Each class participated in try- ing to raise money for their candidates. There were many ways to spend ones money, such as football throws, cake walks, and bingo. The student council's haunted house kept most of the high school students on the north side of the campus for hours. Reports of actual Casualties must have been rumors. Oth- er highlights included a dog show, a pony ride, and a hayride for the little ones. Earnest Edwards aims at his target in the football throw, sponsored by the juniors. 30 — HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL Bingo was a popular pastime at the carnival because it permitted one to rest for a moment. Penny Bailey helped out the science club by telling fortunes. Above: Winning a goldfish was popular with the little ones. Left: An old time general store brought in funds for the band.

Their presence at this and other functions is a safety precaution which is greatly appreciated — especially at the bonfires. HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL — 31 E cr o o 0c a. o o CO IU - co o o On Monday, Oct. 21, the high school gym was the scene of the annual Halloween program. Student Council President, Greg Barnes welcomed the huge crowd. The audience was first entertained by the kindergarteners who were dressed as cats, ghosts, and pumpkins. Two colorful owls flew in to join the first grade in singing “Hooray for Halloween. Second grade couples performed London Bridge. The class also scared us with “Boo! The third grade acted out the skit The Fate of Mickey. The fourth grade gave the audience the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The fifth grade did a skit about Fat Bear while the sixth grade portrayed the character of Mary Poppins. The guitar class contributed two songs and the high school choir sang the tragedy of The Grasshopper. Double, double, toil and trouble,” was this the chant of these third grade witches? As the fourth grade retells the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Snow White asks the mirror, 'Who's the fairest of them all? 32 — HALLOWEEN PROGRAM This clown is all decked out in his costume, ready for Halloween. These ghosts assist the third grade as they perform “The Fate of Mickey Mouse. Black cats, ghosts, witches and pumpkins perform “I'm Not Scared, for the audience.

Six thousand dollars! That's a fantas- tic sum for any group to raise in just one week, but with the tough competition between the classes this was possible. The first grade raised the enormous amount of $1,020.74 which enabled Marc Redden and Tonda Roberts to be crowned Duke and Duchess. Working hard to win the prince and princess ti- tles were the eighth graders who raised $543.59. Prince Anthony Ruckman crowned Vicky Reichert, Princess. All the high school classes were very com- petitive. The seniors reigned victorious by raising the grand total of $936.46. All their hard work paid off as Benton Moon and Thelma Daniel took the King and Queen honors. The Student Coun- cil received $3,329.44 as half the total proceeds. This money will be used to buy honor jackets and sweaters, Christ- mas candy, and to support various oth- er projects. Some of the grades will use their money for purchasing educational toys for the classroom, library books and project materials. The class trips in the spring are also funded by this event. HALLOWEEN ROYALTY — 35 Dr. Pickartz opened the initiation by giving the welcome and reciting The Touch of the Master's Hand. A lack of communication seems to be the problem in Darlene and Pennie's humorous duet. Clockwise: Dinner was an elegant affair, served continental style. Beverly's contempt for Pam's gossip is clearly evident here. Ice cream garnished with frozen strawberries makes a tasty dessert, and Darlene, Pam, Dr. Pickartz, and Mr. Lattimore seem to enjoy it. 36 — BOARD TREADERS To the delight of his audience, Luis Garcia, a surprise guest from Venezuela, sang several Spanish ballads and played his Cuarta . Board Treader Club Organized lembers of the Board Treaders are Denise Mosby, Mrs. Lattimore, sponsor; Darlene Younger, Curtis nauls, Pennie Bailey, Ricky Hicks, Pam Cray, Beverly Robison, Michelle Wilson, and Dr. Pickartz, onsor.

The officers are Ricky Hicks, presi- dent; Denise Mosby, secretary, and Shelley Behunin, reporter. Mrs. Lat- timore and Dr. Pickartz are club sponsors. Membership in the club is based on participation in theater pro- ductions and in speech festivals. On January 30, the first group was initiated into the club at a dinner at Dr. Pickartz home. The initiation in- cluded everything from dramatic soliloquies to humorous duets. Those initiated other than the officers in- clude Curtis Knauls, Darlene Young- er, Michelle Wilson, Beverly Robison, Pennie Bailey, and Pam Gray. BOARD TREADERS — 37 Achievement Requires Dedication Being on the honor roll requires intelligence and dedication on the part of each student. One quality without the other is seldom enough to maintain this high standing. The stu- dents who receive this recognition can be jus- tifiably proud of their achievements since education is really our purpose for being here. This same dedication is reflected in other awards which many of these same students receive, such as the Masonic Awards. High School All A's: Amy White, DeAnn Patton, Beverly Barnes, Lori Asbill, Jeff Thomas, Cary Linker, Missy Speir, Sherry Keen, Allen Brock, Billy Rogers, Ira Wofford, Rusty Price, Nyna Woolever, Kim Dewitt, Tammy Edwards, Kelly Matlock, Linda Brown, Ricky Nolan, Dwight Speir, Becky Rowland, joy Henson, Denise Mosby, Renea Linker, Melissa Russell, Mike Barnes, Valerie Mullins, Cammy Henson, Kathy Vance, Vanessa Click, and Lisa Efurd.

The process includes registering the book in the accession book, stamping proper identifications in each book, typing and inserting book cards and pockets, typing each book, classifying the book according to subject matter, and building a set of numbers for that classification. LIBRARY — 47 Posing as shepherds, members of the first grade help portray the nativity scene Yule Costumes are Fantastic As usual the Christmas Program was a dazzling extravaganza of cos- tumes and talent. Accompanying the kindergarten as they sang Santa Claus is Coming to Town was old Saint Nick himself with all his rein- deer. The first grade in beautiful cos- tumes sang Over in Bethlehem and featured their own drummer boy. Tigers, zebras, and giraffes made their debut as the second grade sang to us. Winter Wonderland was the scene as the third grade intro- duced Susie Snowflake and Frosty the Snowman. Dolls of ev- ery kind, including toy soldiers and cowboys, could be seen as the fourth grade portrayed children nestled snugly in their beds waiting for Santa. The fifth and sixth grades combined efforts to bring us dolls from many lands such as Mexico, Hawaii, and the Netherlands. We even saw Jack in the Box and a Mr. New Year's Doll. To conclude the program, Mr. Lawson presented his guitar class and the high school choir. Above: First graders sing of the Christ child's arrival.

January Was a Record Month The winter of '78 will be remembered for many things. Locally, we will never forget the ice and snow that descended on us with a gusto rivaling that of last year's. Because of the slick roads and inches of snow, school was interrupted for several days. Na- tionally, the events were equally memorable and perhaps much more consequential. Few will forget the Orange Bowl upset when the Sooners met the Razorbacks. January 13 brought grief to millions of Americans as “The Happy Warrior” bid farewell to the nation. Because of his ill health, Herbert Humphrey's death was no surprise — only a great loss. Most of the world watched apprehensively when the Middle East peace talks began in January although chances for a lasting peace looked promising. As the winter progressed, the Russian satellite which fell in Canada gave the U.S. concern when radiation was detected in some areas. Altogether it was an exciting winter that demanded our attentions to many scenes ranging from the Middle East to our own “Rangerland. Mourners gather as Senator Humphrey lies in state in the Capitol Rotunda. When Herbert Humphrey made his last visit to the House of Representatives in November, he received a hero's welcome. During the Middle East peace talks, Barbara Walters interviews Egypt's Anwar Sadat and Israel's Prime Minister Begin WINTER ACTIVITIES — 51 Right: Many patrons not only liked the new building but also the many plants in the greenhouse. Center: Cindy and Julie Matthews listen intently as Mrs. Martin talks to their mother. Mrs. Shackleford reports on Jason Fletcher's grades and his progress to his parents. Mr. Davis visits with Charles Tann and his family. Mrs. Stewart seems to have enjoyed visiting with former student Charlie Day and his family. 52 — OPEN HOUSE Students and parents alike take time out to enjoy Mr. Wood's pet gerbil during their visit to open house. Parents attend Open House in spite of inclement weather con- ditions, parents responded favorably to the Open House invitation for January 23. In addition to finding out about their children's progress, many parents wanted to see the new cafe- teria and classroom building which had just been completed. Many pa- trons expressed their approval of the entire school plant and indicated their surprise at the beauty and spa- ciousness of the new structure. One parent commented, We have the most beautiful school in the county. Mr. and Mrs. Cosner view blueprints drawn up by Mr. Watts’ drafting students.

Rain had threatened to douse the corona- tion, but it stopped just as the girls began to be apprehensive. The band played Traces as the at- tendants and the queen walked down an aisle formed by the flag team, players, and cheerleaders. The Rangers topped off the night by defeating the Wolves 36 to 13.

The girls won their first game against Vian by a score of 50 to 28, while Muldrow defeated Sallisaw. Thus, once again the Ran- gerettes were pitted against Muldrow in the finals. There was a full house on hand for the showdown between the arch rivals. Although the Rangerettes played a hard game, the Bulldogettes emerged victorious. But the season wasn't over for the girls; they advanced to the regional tournament in the conso- lation bracket. Thelma Daniel, the only starting senior, was named to All-con- ference for her hard work and dedica- tion. Coach Russell takes advantage of a time-out to give the girls pointers on their game.

Coach Steve Russell has handled this responsibility and has helped to shape the Rangerettes into a competi- tive team. The season started out slow for the girls but as it progressed, they became confident and experienced. The girls proved their skill by placing second in the Roland Invitational Tour- nament and by winning the Consolation Championship at the Green Country Tournament. With only three graduating seniors on the team, the Rangerettes will be coming back next year with high hopes for the District Championship.

Everyone has talent Everyone has some kind of talent. Not everyone excels in athletic ac- tivities such as football, basketball and track. Yet, there is a need to stay in shape. Experts continue to warn us of the need for better physical fitness. Many of our students, realizing this, take part in non-varsity athletics. Girls, as well as boys, receive exer- cise by playing basketball, volley-ball and ping-pong. This year, the skateboard craze hit Roland in full force. Some students proved to be very agile and talented in this area. The skateboard became not only a form of recreation but also a mode of transportation as some stu- dents rode their boards to school. 78 — NON-VARSITY Left: Ronnie Freeman demonstrates a few stunts on his skateboard.

Nosotros somos — los alumnos de espanol Twenty-two members are enrolled in the 1977-78 Spanish Club. This year they participated in the Mental Health Drive and planned and pre- pared the annual spaghetti supper. Proceeds from the supper financed the annual Spanish Club banquet which was held on December 15, at El Palacio'in Fort Smith. During the banquet, the students performed two skits, En El Cafe” and Handi- crafts, and demonstrated a Mexican folk dance, El Torito De Petate. They concluded the program with Christmas carols sung in Spanish. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Roxana Gardner as Spanish Club Queen by Danny Gar- ner. Kathy McGuire was crowned princess by Roy Collins. Spanish Club officers are Clara Taylor, songleader; Belinda Etzkorn, treasurer; Darlene Younger, secretary; Mary Everett, reporter; Sandy Woodard, sergeant at arms; Danny Garner, vice-president, and Curtis Knauls, president. SPANISH CLUB — 103 Thirteen Attend Vo-tech School Preparing students to take their places in society and industry, the Vo-tech school at Sallisaw offers sev- eral courses in which our students participate. Each morning at 7:30 thirteen students board the bus for Sallisaw where they learn auto me- chanics, secretarial training, nursing, and bricklaying. They then return to our campus for the necessary basic courses such as English and history. Students attending Vo-tech this year are Donna Limore, Gary Johnson, Patricia Lindsey, Doris Winton, L.C. Wann, Jerry Lasiter, Mike Hall, Geneva Matlock, Mark Fletcher, Bobby Williamson, Billy Jetton, and Rick Maddox. At Vo-tech, Doris Winton completes her accounting assignment in secretarial training. Patricia Lindsey visits with an elderly patient. Geneva Matlock, a senior, works with the trainable mentally retarded children. Donna Limore and Gary lohnson practice laying bricks. 104 — VO-TECH Portraits of Elvis seemed especially popular with two artists, Donna Clark and Phyllis Cashier. Jf TAR CRAZE INmCEjf Starstruck seemed to be the proper word to describe Mrs. Gaz- zola's art class as the students took on a science fiction theme for the majority of their work. Sketches of “Star Wars characters, spaceships, and alien creatures were by far the most popular subjects, perhaps be- cause they allowed such a wide stretch of the imagination. The art class was a victim of the ever-present shortage-of-rooms problem, and therefore had to 'make do' in the concessions room, which presented a few problems. However, the location gave most of the student body a chance to observe the works of the art class during lunch period. Clockwise: Mrs. Gazzola, Diane Chronister, Mary Chamberlain, Vickie Riddle, Curtis Knauls, Gary Chronister, Cindy Wilson, Toni Hill, and Blaine Owens. Linda and Darrell Brown use pastels for variety. Ginger, David, and Brenda work on their projects. ART — 105 fTlath tudent are bu y one The math classes offered this year were general math, consumer math, tra- ditional algebra, modern algebra, and Algebra II. The general math students basically reviewed the general princi- ples of mathematics. The consumer math students learned many ways to make math work for them in their daily life. The students in modern and tradi- tional algebra worked with the number line, equations, and polynomials. In Al- gebra II students reviewed the algebra they had already studied, worked word problems, studied about the slope of lines, used linear and quadratic equa- tions, and were introduced to complex numbers. The students in Algebra I class work steadily to get finished during classtime. r'5% + 2 0 Terry Edwards makes good use of his time in his Algebra II class. 106 — MATH Marsha Johnson helps Patty Sparkman with one ot the more difficult math problems.

Department adds two nstructors The science department gained two new teachers this year, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Presler. They worked together to try to help stu- dents understand the wonders of science. They helped them do ex- periments, used filmstrips to demon- strate the lessons, and enriched their knowledge of biology by taking them on field trips. Some of the students also joined the Science Club. They had a bowl- ing party and a pizza supper. SCIENCE AND CLUB — 107 108 — DRIVERS' EDUCATION DRIVERS’ EDUCfiTIOn IS ft POPULAR CLASS Mr. Harrell and Ricky Harris prepare themselves for the best as Michelle Wilson gets ready to drive to Ft. Smith. his written test One of the most popular classes is drivers' education. The first nine weeks are spent learning the rules of safe driving and how to parallel park by using a model. The next nine weeks are spent learning to maneu- ver a car with ease. The students also learn to change a tire, put gas in a car, and to drive in all types of weather. After taking a drivers' education course at RHS, a student is usually prepared to take the driving test at Sallisaw in order to obtain a drivers' license. Mr. Webb answers questions in his drivers' education class. David Barnes studies his manual thoroughly so that he can do well on Below: Barbara Gardner and Timmy Breedlove demonstrate their log house and suspension bridge Center: Ronnie lohnson seems to have his mind on things other than history. Darlene Younger, Pennie Bailey, and Valerie Mullins model the projects they made. Histoiy i s a useful course Since both American history and Oklahoma history are required sub- jects at Roland, many students were enrolled in history classes this year. Many could be seen at all hours of the day memorizing names, dates, and battles for tests. Mr. Barnes required each Ameri- can history student to complete and turn in a project depicting some time in our nation's history. Although there were a few groans about having to take this class, most students soon realized that a good knowledge of history is necessary in order to make the future a little better.

Roland is preparing students to enter this world by offering classes in typing, shorthand, and accounting. Students learn how to type business letters, take dictation and keep the books balanced. If a student decides to en- ter college first, these skills will be good assets. 110 — BUSINESS Helen Curl puts a stencil in the mimeograph machine while others wait to staple papers. Jerri Wasson uses a stylus in preparing the front page of the Ranger newspaper. Seniors serve as editors The school newspaper has four specific functions: to inform, to inter- pret, to give service, and to entertain. It should be loyal to its school, com- munity, and nation as it gives a true picture of what goes on in and around the school. The Roland Rang- er endeavors to live up to these ideals as it publicizes the events of our school. This year each senior staff member is functioning as a page edi- tor with a junior member serving as their assistant. The day the paper comes out is always a hectic one. Everyone works hard to finish on time. Above- Members of the newspaper staff are Randy Martin, Helen Curl, Kim Taylor, Jerri Wasson, Cindy Wilson, Brenda Tabor, Brenda Grant, Mrs. Stewart, Renea Linker, and Gwen Barthel.

Home Ec. teaches many useful skills Christmas projects add Christmas cheer. The Home Economics department is concerned with good manners, cleanli- ness, well-rounded personalities and developing the skills of each of its stu- dents. One of the main goals of the cooking class is the well-balanced meal. This in- cludes meat, two vegetables, salad, hot bread and a drink such as milk or fruit juice. Nutrition is learned 112 — HOME ECONOMICS along with the preparation of food in order to teach the students how to have a more healthy life. Money savings ideas in the field of economy are being taught in budget meals, casserole dishes and wise use of leftovers. These offer a good pro- tein building food by extending ones meat dishes with milk, cheese, and eggs. At Christmas, crafts are taught as home projects to bring cheer into the home. Favorite projects included Christmas candles holders, table- cloths, and clothes hangers. Clothing is a many-sided subject that includes selection, care, and construction of the clothes them- selves as well as an understanding of the fabrics used in clothing. The abili- ty to make ones own clothes not only saves one money, but it can be an outlet for creative expression as well as a self-satisfying, rewarding accom- plishment. The understanding of con- struction techniques and good workmanship aids in judging the quality of ready-made garments. The selection of the right fabric for its pur- pose and the proper care of fabrics adds to the enjoyment of the clothes one wears.

That evening Open House provided the com- munity the opportunity to view the new facilities. The students were especially happy when the project was completed because of the short- er walking distance and sidewalks that come in handy in bad weather. This group of third graders enjoy their lunch in the new cafeteria. Cary lattimore — Sr. High Principal Dean Pratt — Grade Principal Danny O'Dell — jr.

It is commonly thought that the youth of today are going to the dogs ' but we are far from that. Taking shape today is a new generation, one that's practical in its goals and cau- tious in its values. We see the great need for an education. We know that we cannot do without a high school educa- tion and in some cases a col- lege degree. But if we intend to show the world that we can as- sume the leadership of America and do a good job, we are go- ing to have to get into action. We must show the nation our potential by devising a plan of action. We must convince the adults that we can dedicate ourselves to the task at hand and rise to the occasion.

In junior high the seventh grad- ers are required to take English, geography, math, and science. Other optional classes they can take include home economics, P.E., crafts, band, choir, and study hall.

The disability may be an auditory, visual or percep- tual problem. More and more chil- dren are being identified as having a learning disability. The sooner the problem is identified and the child receives help the better the chance the child has of overcoming his prob- lem. The teacher must work with each student in a lab situation. In- dividual attention and working in small groups helps the student to re- turn to his regular classroom. Creative art work is one of the many different programs included for the students in this chs These students find that working at their own speed helps in improving their grades. Mrs. Schaefer works individually with her students to develop specific skills. Miss Babin helps Greg with a math problem. Deep in thought, Ronnie Foster does a worksheet. 160 — LEARNING DISABILITIES Working in small groups allows individual expression. Students have a place for personal items. Jerri Jo works on a wire braiding project. Plans are Individualized Mrs. White's class is one that has a limited class size so that each child can receive individual attention. This year Mrs. White's class consisted of ten students. Individual plans have to be written for each student. These plans are designed to increase each students strengths and to improve areas of academic weakness. LEARNING DISABILITIES — 161 YOUR LOCAL PEPSI, SEVEN UP DR. PEPPER BOTTLING CO.” Ft. Smith, Ark.

World and Local Events Affect Students' Lives It isn't easy to get everything into one yearbook. In fact, it's im- possible. There are so many things that happen in the course of a year that cannot be anticipated when the book is mapped out in the fall. It was a headline year. Boren resigned as Governor . . . Hum- phrey died . . . Namath retired . . . snow paralyzed a nation . . . Soviet satellite fell. . . Rang- ers went to State . . . Andy put away his crutches. Many of these events, though far removed from our campus, have a profound effect on our future. We have tried to include as many of these as pos- sible to give a total record of the year '78. We are proud of the combined efforts of our staff and this finished product. We have tried to capture the spirit of the year with our theme; to help you remember how it was in '78 when you were young and feeling free. Judy Corley discovers that one needs creativity and practicality in planning a rough layout.

Do we have the courage and the wisdom necessary to maintain what our forefathers have estab- lished for us or have we come to expect this as a right rather than consider it a privilege. ■ Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land!
