The band put on a little show of their own as they Homecoming Queen. It was indeed a night to remember! rode the STANTON COUNTY BAND WAGON down main 5 HC7WE.NLY 6 Basketball Homecoming began with the excitement of having the ceremonies in the new gym. The pep club immediately commenced decorating for their theme, ' 'Somewhere in the Night. M Monday started off with In- side-Out Day, followed by Future Day on Tuesday. Since Wednesday was Valentine's, it was only appropriate to have Red and White Day and a heart decorating competi- tion for the classes; the Sophomores proved victorious. Thursday was designated as Crease Day and Friday was Dress-up Day. Most of the students who participated in the week's activities showed a great deal of spirit and enthusiasm; however, the male faculty members who participated in the leg contest showed a bit more (hair)! Breaking regular tradition, the escorts were chosen ac- cording to Varsity standing instead of being a Senior classman. Candidates and their escorts were: Robyn Wil- liamson and Cary Kendrick; Karen Trujillo and Bryant Willinger; Carol Amerin and Andy Trujillo; Shari Wart- man and Keith Thompson; Teri Sadler and Mike Truji- llo; Crown bearer and flower girl were Ward Tucker and Jori Worm. Teri Sadler was crowned the 1978-79 Basket- ball Queen, thus ending an exciting week of weird and wonderful fantasies! rhe night of November 21, the 1979 ior class presented a classic comedy tied ' 'The Stuck Pot.1' The stuck pot an when the boys from Jason School de- ;d to pull a prank on the girls from •thington Women's Academy. The idea to chip in money for a stuck pot. The to dance with the svorst-looking girl longest would win the pot. The girls at rthington topped the boys by chipping in allar for their own stuck pot. They ssed up to look as outrageous as possible h the intent of being chosen the worst- looking girl. Alice Sedge wick, portrayed by Teri Sadler, used a secret weapon of hydrogen sulfide. Although she ran all the ether dancers off the floor from the odor, she caught Edward Mott, portrayed by Keith Thompson, and won the stuck pot. The romance of the scientifically inclined was mixed with the humor of clashing per- sonalities, laughing girls, and nagging parents. The instigators of The Stuck Pot'' became the instigators of humor and excitement. Cast members were from bot- tom row: Holly Jordan, Trish Cauthon, Shari Campbell, Shari Wartman, Terri Scrivner, Julie Kendrick, Shelley Brown, Lance Carrithers, Keith Thompson.

On April 19, the Junior class presented the comedy 1 'How the West Was Fun1'. During the course of the evening, the au- dience was treated to a rare view of life in the 1860's in the Red Stocking Dance Hall of Prairie Dog, Kansas. Curley, portrayed by Ron Chapman, tries every- thing to get Miss Lily to fall in love with him. Unfortunately, Miss Lily, played by Trish Lewis, decided to marry up with Sgt. Tyree Turwilliger (Curt McElroy) from Fort Incipid. Curley places his des- tiny in the hands of Dr. Sasquash, the traveling medicine show doctor played by Bob Johnson, who promises a powerful love potion. However, it is a million dollar inheritance, not the potion, that gives Curley his choice of any girl he likes. The play ends with bom Curley and Tyree joining Custer in his fight with Sit- ting Bull, and Dr. Sasquash realizing the huge profit from the sale of his love po- tion.

Director was Damaris Claassen. 12 After a year of controversial class meetings and undecided situations, the sponsors of the Junior class felt that prom would go over well by putting many different ideas into ef- fect. The theme 1 'Sharing the Night Together'' was carried out by making satin pillows as souvenirs for the Seniors and asking each Senior which celebrity figure they'd like to share the night with. Shari Campbell chose the Village Peo- ple because, like the Juniors, she couldn't make a decision either. The tables for the banquet were highlighted with fresh flowers, gold goblets, and bright blue and gold table- cloths and napkins. Dressed up in footy pajamas and night- gowns tne servers served pork chops to chase down the plain and peanut MCM's in the nut cups. The banquet ended with Coach Fahring as the guest speaker. Later, the dance started off with the band ' 'Bandit'' providing the musical enter- tainment, and although the fountain contained an excess of bluing, the prom was a total success! The alternate prom was held in the blue flame room with a musician as the entertainment. Servers were: Trish Hudgens, Karen Truji- llo, Cyndee Lewis, Jan Pearce, Shilea Bodey, Dallas War- nock, Rick Wilson, Jeff Sadler, Chris Lehman, and Greg McElroy.

They worked on decorations for the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom and presented the play, ' 'How the West Was Fun. I P.T. Bamum, creator of the greatest show on earth, consid- ered himself a great American educator. In fact, Bamum advertised many of his circus acts as ' 'the greatest educa- tional features of all time.11 But Bamum realized that good educational acts involving showmanship and audacity, could not succeed alone. So he promoted them with bold advertis- ing — ' 'ballyhoo'' as it came to be known. Many of Bar- num's techniques are found among successful educators ev- erywhere . With this idea in mind the yearbook staff searched the SCHS faculty for examples of Bamum's most effective techniques. The results of the investigation were so gratify- ing that the staff decided to give P.T. Bamum Special Edu- cation Awards to those teachers who exemplify in their own careers, some aspect of Bamum's approach to education. The awards are: Showmanship Award . For educational displays Ballyhoo Award ........ For sensational advertisng; noisy shouting, uproar. Audacity Award ........ For boldness, daring or impu- dence . Humbug Award .......... For perpetrating a hoay or acting as an imposter. Hyperbole Award .... For exaggerations or extravagant statements. Free Education Awaid For providing extra unrequired educational benefits at no cost to • the recipient. Compromise Award .. For making sacrifices for the in- stitution . Innovation Award ...

The 1978 season brought a new stadium and a new coach, Mr. Mark Fahring, to the Stanton County tootball program. The Trojans ended the season with a somewhat disappointing record of three wins and six losses. However, they wrere very competitive and well respected by the teams they played. The Trojan de- fense was especially formidable. Coach Fahring commented that he was very pleased with the good attitude, effort, and enthusiasm of the entire team. Complicating the playing of home games were the thousands of sandburs on the new field. This problem lessened after four 1 'sticker pulls,'1 three in which people of the community partici- pated .

Nine inexperienced golfers, including two girls, worked with dedication and enthusiasm through the inclement weather of March and April to improve their scores. The results are obvious. The team improved its composite score by more than 100 strokes during the course of the season. Although as a team the Trojan golfers failed to defeat any opponents, all individual team members experienced the satisfaction of defeating fellow competitors.'' -— Bruce Clary, Golf Coach. The Golf Members pictured at right were (from the back): Tammy Martin, Kelly Young, Beth Moore. Mark Thompson, Lance Carrithers. Earl VanHooser, Darren Ruth.

Dominating the extracurricular functions were sports events, fol- lowed by band performances and dramatic presentations. Supported by six cheerleaders and a Pep Club of thirty-five members (whose outstanding member was Audrey Lauppe), the basketball teams ended their seasons with winning records. The Eighth grade girls placed first in league stand- ings , and the Seventh grade boys turned in a 12-0 record. Girls sports were coached by Marlene Wilkerson. Boys were coached by Jack Bordewick and Jack LaFay. Middle School musicians partici- pated in the Hugoton music festi- val and organized a stage band. The band is directed by Suzan Tarwater. Candid photos of life at SCMS were taken by Jerry Sipes.

Football combined Sev- enth and Eighth grade boys who finished the season with a perfect 6-0 record. The volleyball squads were popular with the girls who believe their training will carry over to high school participation. The Eighth grade girls track team won the first SCMS trophy for girls' sports. Seventh and Eighth grade boys were undefeated in seven track meets. Dramatics took center stage tem- porarily when the Eighth graders presented two, one - act plays. One was a melodrama, '1 The Farmers Daughter;'1 the other was a hillbilly comedy, ' 'The Ghost of Punkin' Hollar.'' Mrs. Ward, who directed the plays, scheduled a dance, a humorous reading and short skit between acts. Play pho- tos are compliments of Jerry Sipes, Middle School photogra - pher.
