As one well-known teacher was heard to say, You people are too busy to come to school. Extreme as that may seem, ,sometimes the extracurricular goings-on seemed to be in iirect competition with everyone's studies. Band practice, football practice, cheerleader practice, drill team practice, and pep club practice usually kept the maiority of the peo- ple in the practice of getting home dog-tired, with iust enough energy left to make it to the ball game that night. But as Herbert Spencer once said, Educa- tion has for its obiect the formation of charac- ter. So extracurricular activities, though not always smiled upon by those in charge of fill- ing the students' minds with knowledge, was not only an enioyable but a necessary part of our personalities, experiences, and involve- ment, the - SGW S of 15 and even more exhausted, Brenda Holmes and Donna Harper begin stuffing man's greatest invention into the Sophomore float.

These tracksters, coached by Dave Robinson, captured many titles and set new records. Larry Gartman, Kenny Clark, Scott Winston, Gary Easley, and Phil Sin- gleton attended the state meet. 1974 also saw many school records being broken. The most famous was probably Gary Eas- ley's new record of 6 feet, 7 inches in the High Jump. Junior High track enioyed a fine season in 1974. They traveled to many cities, rep- resenting Sheridan in a number of tourna- ments. SHS Baseball saw its most successful season in the spring of '74, Under the coaching of Trent Young, the team finished with 23 wins-6 losses. Led in pitching by David Henley l7-Ol, and Mark Stubbs l4- 2l, the team fought to the quarterfinals of the Region 6AA tourney. All-region play- ers were Tony Huff, Eddie Harper, Larry Gartman, and Larry Dortch. Joey Felton strains for the final yards in the 440 yard dash. Waving the victory baton, Chuck Tucker does his part in making the Sheridan track relay team a win- ner.

Even those who didn't swim still enioyed other sports as their means of getting that all important tan. Tennis emerged a popular sport among students with many trying out their back- hand forthe first time. tGolf was also prevalent during the sum- mer- as Jchny Nattin and Russell Waddle, repesenting SHS, captured second place in the 6AA Region golf tournament.

They were given demonstra- tions onthe effectiveness of the hand grenade and the workings of a tank. The cadets were also allowed to enter a gas chamber, where they were exposed to tear gas. The maiorettes, flag corps, and feature twirler participated in a week long clinic under the direction of Kathyrn Fain, a professional twir- ler from Texas. They learned new routines to perform at the ball- games. The annual staff was involved in a three day workshop at Ouachita Baptist University, where they worked on fundamental and advanced techniques in yearbook design. SHS cheerleaders attended camp at ASU. They learned new cheers and routines, and participated in evaluations. SHS was also represented at the Junior Science Symposium, and the FFA camp.

Emanuel Van Felt paints out to Coach Whitworth just what's going on out there. ID ll ID Varsity offense takes up turf and heads for touchdowns Sheridan's distinguishing feature this year was it's offense. Before the season even started Arkan- sas Football magazine predicted that the team would go a long way, largely due to the offensive potential it had. Our fast backs and our quick line got together to form an attack that left most of our opponents helpless. Sheridan uses several offensive sets during o game. Most of the time they use a T-formation in either a straight T, a wishbone T, or a T with a flanker. On some of the pass plays they use a cross- flonker or a tandem set. Sheridan had many good offensive players this year. Leading the offense were Eddie Mac Harper, Kenny Clark, and Emanuel Van Pelt in the backfield and Jay Avant, Lloyd Harris, and Mike Randolph in the line. rn. zur.: new nm '- 1 .

The Queen and her court in all their beauty, the class floats, lfine examples of engineering and interesting things you can do with toilet paperl, cars decorated by school clubs, and the SHS band, resplendent in their new uniforms, were the feature attractions at the proces- sion. It was a fitting prelude to the coming climax on the field that night. Marianne Franklin and her escort Doug Thomas, accompany Barbara Gibbs and Eddie Mac Har- per in the homecoming parade.

For those who got to the field an hour before the game and were able to get a seat, homecoming night posed no viewing problems. But everyone wanted to see the mighty Jackets play, and there was a large crowd of stand- ing fans all around. Starting with the homecoming festivi- ties, Queen Jan and her royal court were introduced to the fans and received an enthusiastic greeting. Then the big Blue and Gold took the field. The team was up, the fans were up, and the Cabot Panthers were about to be put down. They were supposed to be tough but the Jackets were tougher, and by halftime, we had proved our edge. The SHS band came on at halftime and performed a show that brought fans from both sides to tears. Featuring the maiorettes in a fire-twirling routine, the fans were again amazed and very pleased at the band's fine showman- ship. When the Jackets took the field for the second half, the panther must have laid down and died. Anyway, they made short order of them, and turned in a a score of 34-O. It was truly a homecoming that any alumnus would be proud to come home to. Homecoming Gome!27 l IHI IEXTIIEIIQ MKIINATITUIIQJF jacket defense holds oppo- nents to few yards and many bruises. The defensive side of football is the more casual side. The Iinemen can usually choose which way to fire and which back to key on. The linebackers can float with the play and the coverers have a whole zone on passes in which to operate. This is not to say, however, that the defense isn't serious. They have plays and assignments and they have to hit lust as hard to keep the offense from moving. Sheridan uses a 5-4 defense, which has a five-man line, four men backing the line, and two safeties covering deep. This is a good all purpose defense that works well against lust about any attack. On goal line defense and short yardage situations they use a gap-8 defense, which has eight men in the gaps in the offensive line. Sheridan's defense was led this year by linebacker David Henley who kept the offense pretty well plugged up and called signals, and Gerald Steele, who did his iob of socking and sacking the running backs. The Jacket sidelines are always excited and busy. Chris Culpepper leads interference for the Jacket offense. Quarterback Eddie MacHarper takes the plunge.

There were a bunch of odd things going on at Sheridan High School one week last fall. One day, nearly everybody had on blue ieans and overalls or suspenders or some other funky clothes. Another day, a bunch of people showed up with cowboy hats, Indian feathers, and some people were even put in jail ifor failure to dress up.j Then one morning the stillness of the early hours was broken by the sputters and roars of motorcycles as about 50 greasy-haired boys rode their bikes to school. All the girls had bobby socks and ponytoils, and T-shirts and black jackets were the males' outfits. Now was nifty! All these happenings really seemed odd, but when you realized it was Beat Malvern week, nothing was really so strange.

There seemed to be some sort of important cere- mony taking place. Many beautiful girls were being led down the aisle by hand- some young men. Standing in front of the audience, it was not clear whether they were candidates for some strange sacrifi- cial rite or some great honor. The same type of ceremony took place that night, with the same people, again emphasizing one particular girl who was flanked by two guards. There was also much cheering and picturing taking. Whatever it was, the people seemed to enioy it, and the cere- mony will probably be repeated for years to come. 'KW' ...-nun...

If any period is crucial to the development of a good basketball team, it's the period of fundamental training that they receive during their iunior high years. Many sorry 9th grade teams are good in senior high and many good 9th grade teams have a record that is better left unwritten when they are in high school. Many failures or successes in varsity basketball can be traced back to iunior high. This year's 9th grade basketball team showed some flashes of talent that may prove to be iust what it takes to win in l977 and 1978 at Sheridan High School. The Stingers, led by post Marty Goodwin and guard Jeff Easley, held a little in front ofthe .500 mark this season. 52!Experiences Mark Perkins goes for two against Magnet Cave Coach Lar Bunch ex lains that ou can't win 'Y P Y with your shirt on backwards.

Before a person can play for the Celtics, the Razorbacks, or even the Yellowiackets, he has to know how to pivot, pass, shoot, and run offense and defense. This years 7th and 8th grade baskeball teams did lust that.

This has been argued long and hard, and not a great deal of solu- tion has come about. Whatever the real answer, though one thing is sure. A person does not develop on his own. There have been people and events in everyone's life that shaped his destiny. This is no less true with the persons who have received honors at SHS. Along the way, there have been parents, teachers, friends, and relatives who have together formed in each of them a will to win, a desire for perfection, and a dissatisfaction with anything sub- standard.

A 25? -I Seeking peace in the holiday rush, Rebecca ,fi Q ,JAX Christmas is the most ioyful time of the year. It is a time when love, peace, and happiness takeover the world. It is a time when there is no room for anger or bad times. A time to share with friends and family, not iust to give and receive gifts but a time to cele- brate the greatest gift of all, the birth of Christ! Christmas is Jesus' birthday, a time when the wise- men brought gifts to Christ. IB IL IESS IE ID IIBIE EIINNI NI Holy Time Of Year Marked In Different Ways By Different People Everybody says every Christmas that everything will be different and everyone will see the true meaning of Christmas. Somehow it never quite makes it. Every- body gets caught up in the hustle and bustle of high-pressure commercialism and the holiday hassles and Christmas is gone before we realise it. A few privileged people seem to see through the glaze and tinsel to the heart of the matter. Most of us eat too much and drink too much and the meaning of Christmas somehow slips through our fingers. Oh well, next year everything will be different. Christmas means getting together with my family and celebrating Christ's birthday. ' - . . Lift I ful' lv E S - ga. N in n I 'L JZ.

Everyone from Joh Denver and Chicago to Elton Joh and Grand Funk were popular wit all, but it seems either the meanini of a slow song, or the beat ofa fa: one would determine it's popuarity. Blue jeans, work shirts and oven alls were common onthe casuc scene as opposed to baggies hooded sweaters, short iackets an knee-length skirts for formal wear. The most talked about silve screen giants were Robert Redfor and his movie The Sting. In TV we had intriguing cop shows' running out of our earsp and ligh' hearted comedy such as All In Th Family and Rhoda, which ca turn even the sourest of disposition into a smile.

Some students at Sheridan High School live in continual fear of being called before the council. Even though enforc- ing some of the rules of our school is the iob of our council, it is certainly not one of the most important. One of the main func- tions of the student council is to plan activi- ties for the student body. All of our assem- blies are planned and most of them carried out by the student council. The council worked hard to make our assemblies a welcome break in schedule. Another part of the council's iob is to be the go-between in the student's affairs with the administration and the faculty. Through the council, the whole student body's wishes are carried to the people in power. The council this year has also served ecology as well as the students. They put out about fifteen redbud and pinoak trees in front of the school. ln years to come, the 74-75 council may be remembered for this more than any other achievement.

GCE Makes Cash In A Flash While They Train Their Brain There is no doubt about it, that the skilled and semi-skilled laborer are the backbone and support of industry. Without the millions of employees who are paid by the hour, we'd have no factories, no stores, no utilities, and no service stations, Truly the upper level of management in a company is lust as dependent upon the machine opera- tor making S2.75 an hour as he is of the vice-president of the company making 550,000 a year, because it is these people that run the machines and do the services that keep the customer satisfied, which keeps the company running in the black. The General Cooperative Educa- tion program at Sheridan High was instituted to give students a chance to see what it was like in the cold, cruel world before they had to go out in it for good. Now many stu- dents who aren't planning to go to college or just could use some spending money are working half a day in order to gain valuable work experience that will be useful in the future no matter what field they go into.

They are looking ahead to the time when they will be the managers and bosses that wil keep the wheels turning that move our society at the standard pace. Through c variety of speakers and discussions about the business world from people who are knowledgeable in their particular field ol industry, Business Bodies hope to gain c foreknowledge of the workaday worlc that will give them a head start and wil help them later on in life.

Future Teachers and Medical Careers Plan For Services In White-collar Work Even as industry and business are the base of our modern society, the people in our country who are in professional occu- pations serve the country's needs and form sort of an upper crust of the vocational world. Many a child's mother has said to her son or daughter, Why don't you be a doctor or lawyer or professor? There is a great deal of value placed upon achieving high in the vocational world, i.e., becom- ing a professional. , In Sheridan High School, two of our clubs involve students interested in this type of achievement. The Medical Careers Club and Future Teachers of America do the iob of informing the people who are interested in careers in medicine and teaching iust what they're getting into. ln professions that require the amount of dedication that these do, it is good that the doctors and teachers of tomorrow are get- ting into it early.

Of course the members were involved in other activities such as composing a letter to Fanne Foxx asking her to come and give an inspirational speech.

People are living too far above their means. We find that our money is buying less and less and it's taking more and more to pay for the things that are really nec- essary. Some people are going deeper and deeper in debt. Some don't sit down and budget their spending. They iust go and spend what they want and don't sit down and really figure to see if they can afford this or if they really need it. Frances Mitchell Inflation Versus Recession: Which Was It? i974 was a year that saw the worst inflation since World War Il. Prices rose by an astonishing percent. Students felt the inflation crunch in the price of gaso- line which rose from 39 to 47 cents per gallon. At the same time, however, the country's economy had every sign of recession. Employment was the worse since the depression. Over eight per- cent of the nation's workers were job- less by February. And with the end of the school year approaching, students found those once easy to get jobs were scarce. l think that economy is very unstable. I think that the American people really do not know how to react to it. We do not know whether or not we should spend our money or save it, or if there is really such a big problem.

Future Farmers of America and Future Homemakers of America are old and established clubs dedicated to the young people who plan to make a life out of till- ing the soil and keeping a good home. Today many young people are getting back to a simpler lifestyle and back to nature, and with the new awareness of natural and organic foods, it's only natu- ral that homemakers and farmers would become more important to the average person. Both agriculture and home economics have become highly scientific fields. Home economists must learn all about nutrition, vitamins, and psychology in order to run an efficient household. And the farmer must learn about weather, chemistry, and animal husbandry to make a profit in today's competitive business world. lt is no longer true that you don't need much intel- ligence to be a farmer or a housewife.

The Sheridan High School chapter of the Arkansas Wildlife Federation based its i974-75 meetings on the promotion ol safety. The chapter especially stressed tha importance of gun safety, since gun huntt ing is a favorite sport in this area. Mem- bers learned not only howto properly hanl dle a gun during a hunt, but the necessar precautions that should be taken befor and after each hunt. The chapter also enioyed many enterl taining and informative' films on wildlifel Produced by the Arkansas Game and Fist' Commission, they showed hunting in vari ous parts of the state and the safety regu lations found in these areas. , The club was also visited by Norma Dale who gave an interesting talk on hi hobby, making guns.

Book Won' Librarians Get Involved In '75, One of the least known clubs in SHS is the library club. It is composed of student librarians and is a chapter member of the -Arkansas Librarians' Association. Though little may be known of it, it was probably the most active club during 1975. lt car- ied out many proiects, of which National ibrary Week was the largest. During this eek-long affair, they made posters and ore pins to make other students aware of he library and its many functions. They Iso participated in a state-wide conven- ion of student librarians held annually at ittle Rock. The library club members are involved ot only in club affairs, but in the everyday hores of the library. They check in and ut books, file magazines, and assist stu- ents in finding material. The members lso check the roll, dust shelves, and aid ur librarians in other ways. While the library club was constantly usy, they nevertheless found time for rec- eatian. Part of their meeting consisted of ome type of game, and they traditionally ad a Christmas and end-of-year party. i- BACK, G. Hampton, D. Wagner, L. Spann, S. Allen, D. Wieth. FRONT, C. Pruit, S.

Youth for Christ practice love and devotion while witnessing by actions. Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them. Well, there were about forty or fifty peo- ple in the room every time the Youth for Christ meetings and devotionals were held and you could tell by the sparkle in their eyes and the look on their faces that something was there. By their words and their actions you could tell that this thing called Christianity had a profound effect upon the members and some of the non-members too. The Youth for Christ club was formed at Sheridan two years ago to provide an ecu- menical body of Christians which would be good for fellowship and for a positive influence in the school's everyday life and special activities. Through this last year, the Youth for Christ has involved itself with the student body by having devotionals every Wednesday, by erecting a bulletin board in the east hall, and by taking part in special school activities. The sixty-two members of the Youth for Christ club share among themselves a belief that has proven over the years to be more than iust a philosophy. lt's a way of life. l xml i fzezxflsm T11 Y .1359 R 5 5 were Ai..

Cadets were seen in many school functions such as marching in the homecoming parade or helping park cars at the football games. The cadets also had their annual ROTC ball where many awards were pres- ented. The SHS ROTC rifle team high- lighted ROTC activities. The rifle team captured both individual and team trophies, traveling to tournaments from Conway to Dallas. Another ROTC specialtity was the drill team. They performed during halftime at many home football games. Scholarships are awarded annually to outstanding cadets throughout the state. Any student who takes ROTC throughout his high school years also has the opportunity of getting a head start in college ROTC which could lead to a high paying career in the Army. an , B .,.. 4.

Excellence is a thing that all people in our modern society strive for. Society impresses upon its young the need to succeed in life. Each person is supposed to become proficient in some area of life, whether he's a good doc- tor, a good lawyer, or a good hobo. Sheridan High School's Quill and Scroll and the MacKenzie chapter of the National Honor Society have a purpose in that they recognize excellence, the Quill and Scroll for excellence in iournalistic pursuits, and the Honor Society for excellence in scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Both organizations serve the school in totally different yet equally beneficial ways. The Quill and Scroll members do most of the work of putting out the school paper and the annual. The Honor Society does various pro- jects, such as putting up the Christmas tree, making Easter baskets for underpriveleged children, and collecting for the Red Cross. Left to right, J. Evans, B.

Their eyes were dazzled and their ears . gratified at the extremely fine shows put on by the band. Under the field direction of Mr. Erstine and under the tal- ented tutorship of Mr. James Gibbons, the band drew standing ovations even from competitive-bands. The maiorettes also provided a lesson in coordination and teamwork as they did their precision drills to the band's A music.

Sometimes people get the idea that orchestral music is stuffy, stilted, and not much fun. Well, people show their igno- rance in lots of ways. Orchestras, or con- cert bands play everything from Beetho- ven's 9th Symphony to Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikousky to Rocky Moun- tain High by John Denver. Sheridan's concert band is just one of thousands across the country, andthe amount of musical precision achieved by them is often amazing. Indeed if you wanted to hear them you'd have plenty of chances. The SHS concert band has played a Christmas Concert, Region and State Band festivals, and a Spring Concert iust this year. Of course, next year they'll continue in the same fashion. But it's good to know that music lovers from Sheridan don't have to leave town to hear it, and that there are many people who aren't about to let our musical culture go stale.

Laura Swaty Scandals Uncovered At All Levels Of Government By the summer of 1974 the U.S. govern- ment was totally submerged in one of the largest, most widespread scandals in the history of the U.S. It began with the investi- gation of a burglary of the Watergate Complex in Washington, D.C. The subse- quent findings set off a huge wave of investigations at all levels of government. They uncovered unnumerable tax frauds, and black-mail. It led to the first resigna- tion of an American President, Richard Nixon, and the rise to the presideny of a man never elected by the people. Scandals spread to a well-known Arkansas politician. U.S. Representative Wilbur Mills, created quite a stir when he was found intoxicated with a local strip- per. This incident failed to hurt his re-elec- tion. I xx' . .. '.'7s.k N.

Choir spreads musical tal- ent Constantly being called on to perform, the SHS concert choir travelled to many areas in 1975. They were especially active around Christmas, singing for the county nursing home, various churches and the SHS Christmas concert. Of course behind every sucessful choir, there lies many hours of practice. ln prepa- ration for special events, the choir prac- ticed daily before and after school. Dish- ing out instructions was Mrs. Jo Murray, our new choir director. In her first year as director, she led the choir through an out- standing choral season.

High Beta Club rec- ognizes scholarship and citizenship excel- Ience. lf you happen to be walking down the halls of SJHS one day and see about 100 or so kids gathered in the library in various forms of posture, conducting a meeting of the Jr. Beta Club, be sure it's not immediately before lunch, or you might be tram- pled by the masses of hungry intel- lectuals as they herd toward the lunchroom. Meeting once every six weeks, the Beta Club was composed of students who have a B average or better. With the sole requirement for mem- bership being high grades, many members had to hustle to keep up their average. This meant sacrificing pleasure for homework, and missing the ballgame to study for a test.

FHA members enioy their monthly FHA magazine. juniors prepare for futures in home management Among the many changes brought on by Women's Liberation is the rapid evolution of new names. The old traditional term Housewife is being replaced at SJHS by more modern and realistic terms, such as home engineer, home economist, and domestic manager. Home eco- nomics involves more than just learning the proper way to make a bed. It involves everything from budgeting the family dollar to proper baby care. The Junior High chapter of the FHA was vis- ited on December 17 by Mrs. Janice Burris. Mrs. Burris spoke on the topic of ceramics. She showed how the slip was made and then poured into molds. Janice Bonner was chosen as Sheridan Junior High correspondent to Co-Ed magazine for the I974-75 school year. Co-Ed is a nationally pub- lished magazine for home economics students. Throughout the whole year the Jr. High FHA was involved in many activities designed to for- ward their progress toward the goal of making better the homes of tomorrow.

High Rollers And Low Fallers Bounce And Balance During Gym Class A hardwood floor is not the best place to lay your head especially when you are coming off the trampo- line at 400 miles per hour. But thanks to all the modern conveniences such as mats and friends around the edge of the mats, gymnastics at SHS is much safer and much more fun. The human brain is capable of many things, and an exquisite sense of balance is one of these things. Gym- nastics is one of the best ways in the world to develop that sense. After many hours of practice, a person almost becomes one with his balance beam or his trampoline. For those who have good facilities and lots of desire, the rings or uneven bars provide a greater opportunity for physical development. For budding young gymnasts at SHS, the main opportunities exist on the trampoline and the balance beam. But even Olga Korbut had to start somewhere, so Sheridan may turn out a famous gymnastic star.

They found Karate offered not only self-defense, but strenuous excercise and an experience not to be found else- where. One of the most exciting aspects of the art to SHS students was tournament Karate, probably the fastest growing sport in America.

The teachers and administration can't do everything that needs to be done to run a school system. There's a great deal of paper- work, errand-running, and numerous little jobs that need to be done that the secretary or teacher can't always take time and do. That's where the teacher's aides come in. The Sheridan School System has a program in which many of the people who want to can use their study hall period helping a grade school teacher or grading papers or working in the office.

To combat this monotony, some teens turned to games where they could legally let out their anxiety. Some of the new games on the market fit the needs of many teen-agers. An example would be Risk where a player could con- quer the world, or perhaps Dealer's Choice where a player tries to get rich selling iunk cars. Some of the older games such as Chess and Monopoly were still popular during 1975. .Q Jackie Conn Claud Rainbolt, Paula Gray, Jeff Hale, Paula Nutt, Toni Teresa Lightsey Gladish, Ricky Pratt, Toni Nutt.

It is the iob of the administrative staff to see that the bills are paid and that the teachers and maintenance workers keep teaching and maintaining the grounds. This may sound like an easy iob to do, as compared to explaining mathematical theorems or teaching the finer points of grammar. But without the expertise in running the aca- demic organization that these folks have, there would be no theorems or grammar taught at all. In every phase of the work of the school, from planning lunches to sweeping the floors, our administrators have a big hand. Junior High Principal Charles Whitworth assists in the distribution of Junior letter-iackets. Mrs. Reaves - Senior High Secretary Mrs. Perkins - Junior High Secretary Administrationfl 73 School Board Maintains Citizens' Link To Education. Our whole society is based on the dem- ocratic principle of duly elected represent- ation out of the ranks of the common peo- ple. This is what gives us our say in things and keeps our system from becoming totalitarian. The Sheridan School Board is just another example of our democratic process. Elected for a limited term, they have to put forth the peopIe's wishes in their policies, or be subiect to defeat in the next election. By this process we are assured that our schools will be run like we want by the best people available. Dr. Jack Irvin inspects some report cards before the team gets them.

Now, having destroyed a popular myth, this shall be explored a little deeper. Knowing that humans con't work forever, and also knowing that most humans engage in rec- reational activities, and realizing that many of the recreational activities take place out in the open, visible to all man- kind, the average intelligent mind would realize that if it is really true teachers are human, one might could catch one of them in the act of recreating. Well, appointing a committee which appoints a subcommittee which appoints a task force to investigate the phenomenon, it is found that teachers do everything from hunt to sew to wash cars to play golf in order to relax. lt must therefore be concluded that teachers are human.

Faculty Members Find Relaxation In The Great Out-of-doors The teaching profession is one in which the pressure is very great. There's a responsibility to the administration and the taxpayers to keep a reasonable amount of order in the class and keep the kids involved in some semblance of learning. But the main responsibility is to the stu- dent. The teacher must teach each student the information and abilities that are nec- essary for adulthood, and make it interest- ing so the student hears what is being said. A big iob indeed. lt also requires some unwinding, or the strain would be too much. Many of our faculty find peace of mind in nature, through the pastimes of huntng, fishing, and camping. l82!Personalities .i RK Sgt.

During these twenty-six years I have seen some vivid changes in many areas in educa- tion. There has been a great change in the curriculm. This has been brought about by the fact that more teachers work in their field of training. Schools have become more of a collection of profes- sional people united for a common good. Subiect material has been added to help the students of today cope with an ever changing world. In the facility realm there has been a surmount change. We have more mate- rials, tools, and supplies to perform our duties.

Teaching today is more of a pleasure because of better working conditions. There has been a significant change in salaries. In the years past salaries were low compared to other fields. I would say there has been less change in students. Obviously the stu- dents of today as years ago need supervision and a keenly developed sense of responsibility. Mr. Bowers During the twenty-five years that l have taught in the Sheridan Schools, l have been a part of the marvelous growth that has occurred. l have seen growth in the physical planty growth in the enrollmenty growth in the size, the qualifications, and the salaries of the faculty, growth in the curriculum, and growth in the amount of money spent for teaching aids and supplies. But the most gratifying growth me personally has been in the of the individual students l taught. There has been an inc interest in higher education and specific iob training which has uced more useful citizens. To delight, many of my former s have remained here, helping make Sheridan a better place to and contributing to its 4 growth. What about the future? believe that the growth of the dan Schools in the next twe years will be even more pheni than it has been in the past five years. And l hope to around to enioy it all. Mrs. Since I began teaching in l948, the small high school has disappeared from the scene. No longer can we put the whole tenth grade in one classroom or take the senior class to the state fair in one bus. But we do have modern gym- nasiums, well-equipped laboratories and a much broader curriculum than we did in those days. Now that we have these fine facilities along with faculties with bachelor's degrees or higher, one would expect these improvements to be reflected in the quality of students, but, I must say it is not. ln the late forties, when rural Arkan- sas first got electric lights, many stu- dents went to school for the purpose of raising the standard of living for them- selves, their families, and their commu- nity. Most of the ones who graduated had a real purpose for earning a dip- loma, the drive to achieve came from within themselves. We still have good students, but many of them are neg- lected because we teachers are so busy dealing with the great numbers of non- motivated students who have no real purpose for going to school and still less purpose for studying. This problem is further complicated by the universal drive for personal liberty that has aused the public to demand laxness in discipline. Some things never change. lt is still a sheer joy to work with young people, and I wish I could teach them fifty years. Mr. Fulcher I 11 if ll 'V ' , ' Students graduate - others come - then go. New buildings are con- structed - old buildings remain - but through this sameness and change runs the thread of the purpose of our school system - to provide an education that will prepare a young person for his or her launching into the adult world. Over the years our enrollment and our school plant have grown in num- bers and size respectively. In spite of what some students might think, rules have become more lenient and to some extent students have more freedom. Sometimes, there is too much thought given to this and not enough to the preparation for life as the student gets out on his own. Quite often as students show thier ability to take responsibility, more freedom is given to them. We attempt to give the student prep- aration for physical, psychological, social, and spiritual readiness for this launching into life as well as basic sub- iect matter. Some students accept this and work toward this readiness while others decide to wait and think about it tomorrow. Hopefully, students and teachers can work together to make this an outstanding school, not as a show place, but as a center for helping young people prepare for a well rounded life now and in the years to come.

They have shared with students many a moment of sor- row and success. Throughout their twenty-five year experience they have seen many changes take place, not only in the school system but also in the students themselves. The annual staff decided to ask these teachers? ln your years of teaching, what significant changes have you seen? Were they for better or worse? What changes would you like to see? The following is their response. 25-Year Teachers!

A hobby of this sort can provide many hours of pleasure and contentment to whoever tries them. They can provide some frustration, too, if the artist is uptight about the perfection of his art, but taken in a spirit of carefree enioy- ment, he doesn't always have to hit the right note.

Faculty Moves Students On To Bigger And Better Accomplishments. Teaching is a profession in which the teacher comes up against many students who have difficulties taking hold of the material and doing something with it. Most ofthe time this brick wall of resistance that the teacher comes up against is not a men- tal incapacity to learn, but it is merely a mental block that the student has set up which is very difficul to remove. Yet, some- how, many teachers do it. lt is likely that they all have their own formula for prob- lem students, reaching some and not reaching others. Whether it is iust a patient interest or firm discipline or some combina- tion of these, a few of our teachers seem to have a method that makes students want to do more, get involved more, and rise to greater heights in the school and the world. qt!

Of course, part of it is there, but of necessity some of an education must take place outside of class, because there's so much to be learned about life that books can't teach you. Q Class activities take a great deal more 4 effort and much more leadership because the scope of these activities is more broad and yet more detailed. Thot's where our dedicated faculty comes in, because they must shoulder much of the load, and they do.
