The stars go down To rise upon some other shore, And bright in heaven's jewelled crown They shine forever more, I ohn Lu ckey McCreery 5 The doors of Sheridan High School, framing our lives for this our past year, have been the portals for our fears and hopes, for our disappoint- ments and our victories, for our initial ignor- ance and our final knowledge. With a well rounded schedule, we have passed through these doors of firm guidance and leadership, of en- thusiastic athletic events, of faculty funtime, of intent study in the library, and of worthwhile social and service clubs, Doors of SHS, closing on our past living and learning, have opened to new vistas of experience and education. 5 9 aiu-in-slag 9' X K ,AX Doors to 'Yhaef SHS The rooms, corridors, and campus of SHS offer to each student an education in subject matter and human relationships - in fact, SHS may be called a laboratory of life, From the time senior rings are shown off, invitations are picked up, the traditional ivy chain is passed on to the safe keeping of the juniors, the graduation line moves out of the building, and finally the long-desired diploma is grasped firmly, the realization of graduation finally arrives, Doors to Life, .Masai Fun and Friends Q ', ,',i,, ' 1 Doors to School spirit, that innate sense of loyalty to our own Alma Mater, has been proven on our campus again and again this year, Because of our student body's enthusiastic support of our Yellow jackets as they defeated outstanding teams such as the Malvern Leopards, Morrilton Devil Dogs, Sylvan Hills Bears, our school teams gave of themselves to represent the school well. Devotion to studies, to extra-curricular activities, to school projects - all showed a characteristic pride in SHS, School Spirit All! N T' Doors to Knowledge A and Appreciation The SHS faculty, each student's living door to learning, has opened the way of education for us, In specialized and diversified classes, they cover subjects ranging from quadratic equations to dangling participles to dialectal materialism to office practices to copper sulfate electrolytes, In order to express our gratitude for their selfless devotion, the FTA honored them with a Teacher Appreciation Week, i Doors to Memories Everyone at SHS will remember with joy the two principal events of our busy, busy year, Our Junior -Senior Prom, with the theme of In the Misty Moonlight, was an outstanding success, Girls beautifully attired in formals and boys dressed in evening wear complimented the elaborate decorations, Homecoming, with its customary traditions and its new features, was the most extensive ever, Preparations and plans were started early to make success certain. Friday was a day Filled with activities including the formal presentation of the court, the pep parade, the pregame ceremonies, and the game that night.

Track and field is competition in its rawest form-a sport of speed, stamina, and sntength. In years past, SHS has shown great determina- tion in its olympian efforts, the 1969 season being no exception. Last spring, the Yellowjacket thinclads made a creditable showing in meets against several larger teams, felling two school records in the process: Bobby Springer turned a time of 54, 6 seconds in the 440 yard dash, while the relay team of Greg Ellis, Joel Emerson, Rodger Haynes, and Steve Dorsey covered the mile in 3:43, 5, Steve Gartman competed in the combined Region 3AA meet at Conway, where he placed fifth in the high jump. 4 Q it t Q, an Extreme effort shows on Bill Sites' face, Speedy Roy Garner nears the wire in the hundred.

Junior high coach Dave Robinson and senior coach Charles Robinette, SJ HS tracksters also experienced a good season. Under the skillful guidance of Coach Dave Robinson, the able Stingers competed in several meets in this area, proving strong in all events, Bobby Bradford, the mighty mite, set a new school record in the broad jump of 17'9 , and both Don Winston and Tommy Ware tied the 10' record in the pole vault, .

Even for a man of Whitworth's stature, that is quite a feat, Every season, practice begins in mid- August, Forsaking a part of their vacation time, the play- ers spend many long hours training in the summer heat.

As is fast becoming customary, the season began with a shut-out over Whitehall, The Bulldogs watched helplessly as a succession of Yellowjacket backs crossed the goal line, rolling up a score of 49-O, Guided by Eddy Easley, Dan Walters, and Dave Ingram, the three offensive strings made a spectacular showing. The Sheridan offense also enjoyed a field day in the con- ference opener against Little Rock Metropolitan. Eight different Jackets hit pay dirt to crush the Wolves, 55-O. Metropolitan was never able to penetrate deeper than the Sheridan thirty- five, Bryant was humbled, 31-O, becoming Sheridan's third consecutive shut-out victim, Halfback Bill Sites scored twice as did Don Webb, and fullback Rodger Haynes tallied once.

Slyvan Hills gained the distinction of being the first team to score on the Jackets after their quarterback rifled a pass through the SHS defense into the end zone, The stubborn defense more than avenged itself, managing three interceptions and a touchdown, when linebacker Dewayne Johnson nabbed a Bear fumble in the end zone. The Hnal score was 19-6, Morrilton played the Yellowjackets a somewhat tougher game. The Devil Dogs pressed hard in the last half, only to be held at a 27-22 deficit, Ranked number eight in the state by the sportswriters, Sheridan journeyed to DeWitt and came home stunned. The fired-up Dragons contained the mighty Jackets for a seemingly easy 30-6 win, much to the dismay of fans and players alik Sheridan 's only TD came on a one yard run by Haynes in the second quarter, capping a 79 yard drive.

Soccer-style kicking specialist Mike Jones put SHS on the scoreboard with less than a minute remaining in the first half when he parted the fog-laden uprights with a field goal, Two TD's in the fourth quarter finished the scoring, Senior Wayne Graves was outstanding on defense, intercepting three Wildcat passes. This game was the end of another season for the Yellowjackets, and the end of a career for the seniors - they wore the Blue and Gold for the last time. But for the underclassmen, players like Bill Sites who led the offense with 700 yards rushing and Gary Eagle who led the defense with 112 tackles, it was a promise of future games and future glory, I24 The 1969 Yellowjackets FRONT ROW: Manager Martin, Plouch, Ukno, Bowers, Marsh, Ware, Mitchell, Blake, Shinn, Hol- loway, manager Whitworth, SECOND ROW: Reid, Johnson, Ingram, Easterly, Walters, Williams, Walters, Eagle, Sites, Easley.

X s fl of e 9 Now that the 1970 Yellowjacket is finished it becomes part of the days of '70, The Yellowjacket will grow in value as the years pass because it will serve as a reference book and a history ofthe school year, Last spring when I took over as editor I did not realize what a frustration it can be. No matter how the planning goes into the book, baffling and frustrating things happen, Maybe a key roll of films gets mangled in developing or a dozen promises from a staff member produce no work. Many persons have helped put this book together, and it is impossible to give adquate thanks to everyone, How- ever, special thanks is due to Betty Caple, our advisor, And a special thanks--to -the editors of each section, This yearbook is not perfect, There will never be a perfect yearbook, There are always those who are dissatisfied, But we will make no apologies for our year's work. We worked hard at the job and feel that we did our best, Libby Zimmerman, Editor M f XJD , ,- 3491 . ' , , J we my '04 Q24 Qi., Jig fl fr, t. kg Ekfx , fl rj, ,fs s fj.vX'LX-3?
