Leigh Ann Shook, Lisa Kling, Vicki Riddle, and Cindy Wilson relax on a beautiful summer day. I heard the students singing something. The teachers tell they listen well. And they say they need working students to show the way and lead to- day. Was it the freshmen who said, “Which way? Your father, he said he needs you. Your mother, she said she loves you. Your teachers, they echo the words. “How far to the point of no return, how far?” They say the world turns so dark that you know it’s time you point the way. They say the point of return is the day you graduate. Was it the seniors who said, “Which way, which way?” We’ve reached the point of no return. If r, % . : Page 2 THF.ME Jay Dyer concen- trates on his work. C. Wilson cuddles her furry friend. Today I found a message from seniors 78. In ihe halls from them to us. They wrote that when they left, they cried with fear the future was near. Now they smile and say, “The future was great in 78. The point of no return points ahead, not behind. Look ahead, face the future. Look forward to the point of no return. We can never look back on anything from this point on. All of us must go forward in life. Jeffrey Roberts supports his team with his crushmobile. Alter a hard day three o’clock looks rewarding THEME Page 3 At one of our first pep rallies the cheerleaders attempt to keep our spirits high. D. Releford seems proud of our mascot. Our high school days are spent learning about ourselves and where or what we are going to do in the future. Wc learn to get everything done. Time does not stop and wait for anyone. Every- one is having different thoughts and doing different things. The football boys are working hard on all their practices and games. The cheerleaders are working on their cheers Page 4 THEME BSBSS5 Our football team has become choir men by singing and raising spirits at pep rallies. What some kids will do to get away from school. Carle Releford enjoys taking her final walk in the halls to become better leaders. The band grows larger and better. The basketball girls and boys work hard to improve their skills over last year. The drill team gets in shape to please the home game audiences and will grow like everything else. The Rangers and Rangerettes will not stop here, they will grow larger and continue to strive for perfection. Reaching the point of no return will not stop the mighty crush of the Rangers it will only encourage excellence in future Rangers. These goals will contribute to the growth of Roland High. As we have watched Roland grow, others will maintain the tradition of keeping the big orange crush no. 1. We all will find new doorways in our life pointing outward. It’s reaching the door that is difficult. Looking backward doesn’t make life easier. The past should be remembered for experience and memories. The point of no return points ahead to new experiences and memories. To seniors it THEME-Page 5 might mean making their last year their best. To the underclassmen, it could mean a vow to do their work to the fullest potential. For the faculty, it might mean never having the same students in theii Angie Davis takes a trial swing for the spook house. Debbie Carter gives a cheer at the bonfire. classes. To the Board members it could mean having their Last meeting to discuss school affairs along with accepting new members. For the athletes, it might mean not ever being able to correct that crucial mistake that changed the outcome of the ballgame. To the band, it could mean never again experiencing the thrill of a superior rating. To the cheerleaders, it could mean cheering our team to state all year round. P.

For the science club, it might mean planning Roland’s First Annual Country Science Fair. To the Spanish Club, it might mean earning pesos to go to Mexico. To the art club, it might mean the completion of their creation. To the library club, it could mean collecting the last over due books. And to all students, it might mean ending the school year to the POINT OF NO RETURN. Lita Jeremiah helps create spirit. After one of our pep rallies students hurry to their buses.

THEME Page 7 Autographs ADMINISTRATION BOARD MEMBERS The board members have seen their dream of a new junior high become a reality. The board members make up the most important part of our school because they make the plans and see that they are followed through. They planned for a new junior high to be built and it all started in the summer of 1978 when men began marking off the area in which the building was to be constructed. The construction took most of the summer and part of the school year. The dream is now a reality and is the home for the Roland Junior High student body.

FACULTY POINTS THE WAY The administration and teachers are a very important asset to a school. Students acquire knowledge through the teaching and leadership of the teachers and administrators. They are also able to communicate with the students outside the classroom, by understanding their needs and problems and giving them guidance. Right: Danny O’Dell, junior high principal, works fervently in his new office. Below: Gary Lattimore, high school principal, pauses a moment while checking absentees.

Some of the skills offered e mechanics, masonry, nursing, and secretarial training. The students enrolled in mechanics are Linda Brown, rry Lasiter, and James Snyder. Billy Jetton and Bobby Williamson are enrolled in masonry. The students leave jland about seven-thirty and go to Sallisaw for their three hour course. Various contests are held throughout the ar. This year Mike Hall entered in a mechanics contest. The top four were given a test at Stillwater, and the lalist entered the International Contest in Hawaii. The students feel that their training will help both themselves id their society. Administration 17 Language Arts The language arts classes consist of English, speech, and Spanish. English is the most important part of a student's education. Everyone needs to know how to speak and write correctly. The main attraction of the speech department this year was the play, ESCAPE VELOCITY, written by Dr. Pickartz. The students presented the play in their new theatre. Spanish is the foreign language offered here at Roland. One never knows when he may need to speak a foreign language in order to communicate. English students enjoy reading newspapers in Mrs. Maloy’s room each week on Thursday. With interest. Doctor Pickartz and Roxana Gardner watch a performing speech. Pam Gray gives a speech for Doctor Pickartz and the cl ass. Tony Williams looks over his English before handing it in for a final grade.

Mr. O’Dell takes a break from his math class to relax in his new office. (X-X)2 + (X-Y) If you think you can take math with a limited vocabulary, just sit in on one of Mrs. Lawson’s classes. You will hear words like: dividend, quotient, polynominal, quadratic, linear, slope, and reciprocal. All of these terms relate to the problems that are taught in general math, consumers math, and algebra I and II. All of these courses arp offered at RHS, and are sure to be impor- tant knowledge that can be useful someday in the future. Dwayne Castleberry concentrates hard on his math to Anna Southern just can’t seem to get make sure he gets the right answer down before turn- that math problem stuck in her head ing it in. Mrs. Lawson explains the technique of dividing with decimals. Angie Davis seems to be embarrassed, could she have been talk- ing instead of working. Several math students seem to be more interested in the camera than in completing their daily assignment. ADMINISTRATION 21 Home Economics Is Helpful The home economics department consists of sewing, cooking, and many other useful skills that can be used in the home and the public as well. The students in the sewing class start out with something simple for the home and an easy garment for for themselves. As the year progresses the students advance to harder garments in order to learn all of the steps of sewing. The style show at the end of the year gives each student an opportunity to show others what she has accomplished. The four basic food groups are the first thing taught in the cooking class in home economics. The students learn to prepare complete meals that contain the basic four foods, and they also learn how to shop economically for these foods. Manners, etiquette, and other helpful hints are taught in this class to enhance the personality and appearance of each student. The home economics department also participated in the muscular sclerosis drive in order to help children to be cured and have the same opportunities as others. Home-Ec I students prepare several different projects for Christmas. Top: Karen Powers puts up the draining board that she used to prepare her casserole. Above: Mrs. Humphrey helps Mona Vaughan place a pattern on her material correctly. Home-Ec I students work together to wash and put away the dishes before the bell rings.

The American history students were required to construct an historical project. Among those turned in were: ships, flags, dresses, paintings, forts, planes, and a jail. The projects were worth 150 points and were quite important to grades and starting the second semester out right. Both American and Oklahoma history are required subjects and an important part of the students' education. Every student needs to know the history of his state and country in order to appreciate it more and to make it better in the future. Kathy Teague studies hard for her next test. Vicki Riddle and Joy Henson look through their books before class. Vcrnice Rcleford and Lucy Woodis examine Jr. history projects. Susan Cipponeri studies Oklahoma History while Gerald daydreams.

Kathy Pyle discovered how it felt to be behind the wheel of the new car. Coach Webb prepares his students on the importance of driving correctly. Knowing where things are under the hood is a big part of driving. Drivers’ Education Is Important Drivers’ education is a very important class. Every new driver needs to know all of the traffic rules and regulations for driving safely. When the semester is completed, the students are usually ready to take their driving test at Saliisaw. and receive their driver’s license. ft - Drivcrs-Ed students study their books so they’ll know the proper way to drive. “I wonder if we will ever be able to drive the new car?” asks two students. Knowing the parts under the hood, like these students, may someday help you out. Coach Webb and Mr. Matlock receive the keys to the new Drivcrs-Ed car from Ted Lewis. The laws of driving are very important to students learning to drive. 24 Administration Three art members work on their next art project. The class views the paintings at the Art Center. Class members work on individual projects. ART The Art class is for those who have a talent and want to expand it. The class has enjoyed a trip to the Ft. Smith Art Center.

Mrs. Webb works on the Christmas tree. 28 ADMINISTRATION Portraying as Mary and Joseph. Shelly Waldrop and Bruno Barber stand by the manger during their presentation of the nativity scene. Teachers Present Christmas Program What would a Christmas program be like without the help of the teachers? A disaster is probably what you would think. Or it would be a rerun of the same thing per- formed over and over again. The faculty of this school puts in a lot of hard work on each program they present. Besides teaching all the students the songs and their lines for their parts, the teachers must also make sure the costumes fit, make sure everyone knows where they should be and make sure the characters make their cue on stage on lime. The teachers at Roland have put on many great pro- grams in the past and we are sure that they will continue in the future. Mrs. Calhoun gives last minute instructions to Mario and Angela. Narrating for the sixth grade class were Sue Harrison, Michael Moore, and Kathy Marchant. The kindergarteners perform their songs for the audience. P R O G R A M ADMINISTRATION 29 c o N T.

Teachers Parents Visit The teachers of Roland Public School opened their class room doors on January the 2nd for the annual Open House. It was a busy night for them meeting and discussing assignments and grades with parents. The faculty made sure that everything was spic and span for the parents inspection that night. Adding to the collection of new buildings this year was the junior high building. This was a great asset to everyone with its spaciousness. Parents and students alike enjoyed the refreshments provided for them at the Open House. Tammy Edwards, Missy Speir. and Darlene Releford do their part in serving refreshments for Open House.

The only thing they seem to find there is doing homework, watching football games, hurrying back and forth to classes and signing posters to show their spirit. Orange Crush seems to be the schools motto for this year and various supporters back it up. School is tough but it’s going to get tougher as the years go on. Students might as well face it and enjoy it while they can. 34-Ranger Life Autographs 36-Seniors SENIORS Seniors- 37 SENIORS OF 70 Janet Anderson Robbie Anderson Spanish Club, Hort I Drill Team, Band, and II.

They are enrolled in English, history, math, science, and they have the choice of home economics, physical education, crafts, band, choir, or study hall. In science, the eighth grade classes studied a chapter on leaves. The students were divided into four groups. Each person was to bring their own leaves and identify them. They were also to write a short story on them. In English, the classes did something new that left a lot of the eighth grade students speechless. In Mrs. Young’s English class, the students had to give four minute ORAL book reports. The students did have some jitters at first, but all soon recovered to give good reports. The eighth grade class officers for this year are James Casher, reporter; Donnie Boshers, president; Donna Skaggs, secretary- treasurer; Lynn Harris, vice-president; and Angela Thornburg, reporter.

Danny O’Dell, the principal, stated that “The beautiful new building is 65’ x 175’ and contains nine classrooms, a study hall, library, and concession stand. The new facility has given both junior high and high school more room and reduced confusion in the halls. It has provided each student with his own locker. The junior high students also have their own playground! The new building has been a great help in many ways and will be thoroughly enjoyed by each and every junior high student. 1 Construction of the new junior high has finally gotten under way. Congestion was ended when this beautiful new junior high building was completed. It really adds quality to our campus. 72 UNDERCLASSMEN The library in the new junior high is well stocked with new and old books from the high school.

Calisthenics, weightlifting, running bleachers and even building pyramids are all part of the off season conditioning program for the high school boys. Hard wor k in the off season is an essential part of any athletic program. The off season program also gives many athletes a head start for the upcoming track season. It takes dedicated athletes to get the most out of a program such as this, and Roland seems to have many such athletes in its program. Besides having a program like this for boys they also have one for girls. They play ping pong, volleyball, basketball, softball, and several other sports that are not with the Varsity program.

Students take break between class sessions. LEARNING IS FUN FOR SPECIAL ED. The Special Education class has had a very good year. We attended story hour at the Ft. Smith library every month, and heard lots of good stories and saw some very interesting filmstrips. While studying about the Pilgrims and how they built log cabins, we visited Sequoyah’s home to see exactly what a real log cabin looked like. Christmas was a fun time. We made stockings and everyone helped decorate the tree. We rang in the new year and made resolutions to really get down to work. Lots of progress was made by everyone and the year was ended by competing in the Special Olympics. It was a good year and we’re looking forward to a rest and vacation in the summer. 158 ELEMENTARY Bruce Carter and Bryan Riddle paste their candy canes on Christmas bulletin board.

We cannot return to 1978 but we can make 1979 better. Let us view the end of the school year as a beginning for the rest of our lives. Let’s begin today to do what we didn’t do yesterday, let's make new friends. How many RHS students are there that you do not know; How many times have you let the opportunity of making a new friend escape you? Begin today by meeting the people on these pages. Sec how many autographs you can collect from these RHS personalities. We have gone beyond the point of no return, now let’s point to the future.

There is so much to tell. It is so calm and peaceful here God reigns supreme and all is well. I am with loved ones and with friends Who settled here sometime ago And of the joys I with them share. We have no racial problems here. No one is lonely and alone and how I wish that you could see the stately Mansion that I own. There is no sickness, grief or death to mar The beauty of this place. And light that’s brighter than the sun, Shines from the Blessed Master’s face. So do not grieve for me my dear. But rather when you kneel to pray, Thank God for my arrival home Where free from pain I am today. Keep Christmas and the birthdays, too That were to us all very dear. With love keep memories green, as I Shall always keep them here. The time has come for me to close And there isn’t much more 1 can say, Except don’t think of me as gone, I’m only just a prayer away. 208 Sports Donnie Burton Jr.
