D 1976-1977 STANTON SCHOOLS STANTON. TEXAS Editor-in-Chief: David W. Stroud Advisor: Mary Haislip BUFFALO ROUNDUP VOLUME 32 Tradition Titilates Today ' s Teen-Agers Tradition produces the in- evitable every day happenings. Some things change but others never will: the faces change but the incidents remain. The couple who blocks traffic in the hall by its slow pace is as commonplace as the clown that amuses, or ir- ritates, every class. The structured atmosphere of school is ignored for a moment when a song picked out on the piano breaks into a mini- jam session with the sur- rounding audience taking part as well. Then there is always the de- sire to be first — whether it be in a contest or in scrambling to the front of the crowd. This is the way we did it . . . and the way we ' ve always done it. A moment of irritation turns into one of plea- sure for Mrs. Alexander as she smashes Tony Henson with an eraser. Built-up frustrations are released as Steve Sargent and Terrie Oldaker clobber Dirk Perry. Tim Glyim and Jill Hughes use a break in band for music. Rosa Salgado and Gonzalo Reyna meet in convenient cor- ner for yet another conference. Five teams wait anxiously for their turns at cheerleader try-outs. Joe Dean hurries to lunch, followed closely by Baci Flores. Longer Skirts, Shorter Pants, Boots, Mustaches Fashions were, as usual, quick in changing but sometimes slow in becoming popular. A few changes were considered almost drastic by some, such as shorter pant lengths and puffed pants stuffed in boots. The boots were in dingo style or had tall heels and zippers. Skirts grew lon- ger, settling just below the knee, and were accompanied by shoes of natural tones. Variations of the perennial favorites (T-shirts and blue jeans) were much in evidence. Jeans gained decorative stitches, while T-shirts read wet paint or available , were covered with CB slang, or boasted graduation years. Natural fibers were dominant among clothing, which gave a boost to the pros- perity of West Texas cotton growers. «.

David Anderson, Scott Creech, and Jay Madison bear evidence that the denim fad takes many shapes. Rena Koonce, wearing goucho pants, Kristi Turner and Natalie Mitchell wear sweaters in geometric patterns, leaves her locker. Overalls are seen in many variations as Marvin Jones and Vaina Emfinger illustrate. BELOW: Karla Simpson examines library book in her suede- trimmed jumpsuit. . . . This Is The Way We Looked In 1976-1977. One-piece suits, in the form of overalls and jump- suits, created a casual and comfortable fad. Sweaters with dark and bright stripes provided much color and warmth, topping jeans and dress pants as well. As a result of the lifted dress code, new and longer hair lengths for the guys changed the appearance of our halls. Feathered and layered cuts were for both sexes, and soft curls dominated the girls ' hair. Mustaches were found on the faces of many young men. Nerve bracelets- -colored springs which slip over the wrist — provided relief from tensions. They could be turned over and over, stand up straight, or lay flat on the arm. Although these guidelines were followed, indivi- duality was the finishing touch. . . .And we ' ve always done it that way! Lanny Hanson sports the new feathered cut. Carolyn Hopper tole paints in her spare time. Laurabeth Pierce expresses herself through singing. Hobbies Fill Students Free Time Students became involved in hobbies which dis- played their individual talents. Each hobby required patience and concentration. Every student ' s hobby corresponded to his own character. Some hobbies in- volved a time of being alone, but other, like Laura- beth ' s, were enjoyed most when shared. We did it this way! Lyndon Marquez enjoys sketching. Larry Johnson examines a rare coin. Brian Davis rivets sheet metal on a small aircraft he is helping to build. Money Source Of Pleasure, Reason For Work End Of Childhood? MONEY — not even youth escapes its power. It has become a necessary evil for all ages. Transpor- tation, food and entertainment require a big chunk of allowance or earned wage. Gone are the good old days preached by parents as precious simpli- city. Replacing them are days of routine and effort to earn times of pleasure. Cars were once an extravagant luxury and status symbol for teenagers. Now the possession of a car is considered almost a necessity. Vicki Rich, a soph- omore, started buying her flashy Ford Courier in March. To pay the monthly $155 she works at the Dairy Treat for $2. 50 an hour. The number of hours a day varies from five to twelve. Unleaded gas costa about 58.94 a gallon and a wash at a do-it- yourself takes upwards of 604;. Vicki ' s response to sacrifice — 1 like it. It makes me have more res- pect for it--my paying for it. I don ' t want my pa- rents buying it. It gives me a sense of responsibility and I ' m glad it ' s all mine. A school lunch can be purchased for 604. At a short-order place, the nickel hamburger has ri- sen to the 99center . Five dollars will pay for a pizza for four and three or four dollars usually buys a single Me-xican dinner. Even bub- ble-gum isn ' t cheap considering that penny gum costs two cents. Entertainment may involve just riding around or be a date with dinner and movie. A ticket to Six Flags and $15 are given each band member preceding departure on annual trip. Wayne Pinkerton and Christi Christon choose the music at a gathering at the youth center. The every-night habit of riding around demands gas, and another of these habits, the youth center, re- quires your silver for foosball, pool, pinball, and the jukebox. As for the ordinary date, a movie is about $2. 50 plus the cost of eating out. Dancing, skating, minature golf and other act- ivities can cause a date to average roughly between $3. 50 and $15. 00. Three very bare essentials of high school life, connected one to another, show the effect or need of money. Maybe kids grow up faster because of it and the responsibilities with it. Or maybe kids learn, too quickly, the pattern of work and spend. You ' d never get him to agree The nicest things in life are free. — Phyllis McGinley Scott Houston fills his tank with $9. 00 of gas at Blocker ' s. Hamburgers and cokes are devoured by Char- les Phillips and Gabriel Romero during the lunch break. Vicki Rich rinses spring mud from her cherished vehicle. University Interscholastic League activities cover fields other than athletics. Literary events also play an important part in high school life. Emphasis is placed on V Q I T T I TF individuality as students put their talents to use and practice skills in entertaining and informative works. Aside from academic endeavor, students enjoy extracurricular merri- ments in which personality and imagination are involved. Home- coming events and the variety show are examples. Senior Debbie Webb deposits can in locker of classmate Tommy Haislip. Freshmen Christie Christen and Bever- ly Merwin hang Homecoming signs. Carolyn Hopper, junior, sports baseball cap on hat day. NATALIE aTCHELL was a maiorette for the Buffalo Band. When not twirling, she played the flute. She was crowned 1976-77 homecoming queen. A member of FCA, she sup- ported and enjoyed athletics. She participated in track. Natalie was often foun d sing- ing for FHA parties and banquets. A sophoniore, Natalie said she likes plants, animals, and people, adding especially those who smile. MARVIN JONES, a junior, was voted Best-All-Around Male Ath- lete by the coaches. He played halfback on the starting varsity football squad and was named All- District, second team, in basketball. He advanced to the state track meet as a member of the sprint and mile relays. He was class favorite as a soph- omore. Paiga Lou Eiland described Marvin, I ' ve grown up with him and he ' s always been a good friend. He stood by me through good and bad times. He ' s always there. He has a good personality. Students Elect Outstanding Our Way Of Honoring Them Is Changed, But We ' ve Always Had Outstanding Students! We ' d always elected students to hold a title, such as Wittiest, Most Beautiful, Most Intellectual, etc., We decided to change and honor people for their all-around personalities — and call them Outstanding . The student body was given a ballot listing the qualities, de- pendability, school spirit, friend- liness, involvement, and pleasant personality. They were asked to list those they considered to have these qualities. These were the Outstanding Students of 1976-77. TIM GLYNN states that his primary extra-curricular interest was sports. After making second team All-District in football tivo years, Tim was named to the first squad his senior year. He rated All- South Plains and All- West Tesas teams, also. In basketball, Tim made All- District, first team, this season. He was named Most Valuable Player at Uvo tournaments and made two all-toiffnament teams. He also took a place on the All- South Plains team. Tim and his partner took the district title in doubles tennis this year. Previously he was a member of the district champion golf team two years. A drummer, Tim was president of the band. He was given the Marines Outstanding Bandsman Award. Members voted Tim FHA Beau and honored him at their Sweet- heart Banquet.

He was named to the All-Dis- trict teams in both football and basketball. TITOE JONES was recognized for her spirit and friendliness. She was voted Miss School Spirit and Wittiest as a junior.

Learm was crowned 1976-77 Lion ' s Club Queen after voicing her opinion against violence on television. TERRY SMITH was one of the reasons Stanton ' s FFA team main- tained its impressive record. He qualified for state contests two years on the range and pasture teams. He placed among the top individuals in many tournaments, taking first place at Sweetwater. Terry competed in athletics, also. He played football and bas- ketball throughout high school. He played tennis one year. Terry served as treasurer of the FCA Huddle, and was president of his class as a junior. Concentrating most of her time and energy on athletics, LEZA BRITT was recognized for her versatility in sports. She was voted Most-Improved Female Athlete by the coaches.

Dee Dee said, I go to the drug store every change I get for a ' Teddy Bear special ' by Jay. ROCKY BLUDWORTH is de- scribed by classmates as easy- going . {In the words of Robert Cox, he never gets stirred up about anything. ) Jill Hughes had this to say about Rocky: Everybody thinks he ' s real shy, but he ' s really not like that.

Homecoming Brings Unity, Friendly Competition Sophomored enjoyed victory as Natalie N-Iitchell took the Homecoming Queen title. The junior class won first in wall-decoration of the gym. A new individual compe- tition was added. Students competed by personalizing th- eir locker doors wth football numbers, slogans, club names, .whatever they identified with. Dirk Perry took this honor. Odd hats and color combination emerged on Sock-and- Hat Day. Below: Squaw (Ricky Dill) takes number sense test Wes- tern Day.

Thursday night ' s bonfire blazes against approaching darkness. Below: queen nominees, Marcie Young, £r. , Natalie Mitchell, soph. ; Laurabeth Pierce, jr. ; Kathryn Springer, sr. Lesa Bess Angel turns cowgirl on Western Day. We welcomed Homecoming in traditional ways with special days, the bonfire, selling mums, and the sock hop after the game. One major difference was the absence of class float-building competition. The student council, however, built a float with a bi -centennial theme for the queen nominees to ride in the parade. Losing the cliffhanger ball game didn ' t damp- en spirits at the sock hop. The boys knew they had played well and done their best. -Joint Effort Produces Popcorn Rally The Popcorn Rally was a potpourri of comical acts and musical skills. Or- ganizations were invited to enter their acts with the three best skits being given cash awards.

Classes Members of each class added to the overall texture of the school. Freshmen dreaded then enjoyed their day; sophomores enjoyed being able to say they were over the freshmen. Jun- iors worked at raising money for the junior-senior banquet, and seniors felt a strain on their pocketbooks, what with having to order invitations, cap and gowns, and the like. Doug McCaUster demonstrates the finer points of his toy car. Seniors Prepare For Major Step Being a Senior means feeling a tear come to your eye at the last pep rally, hav- ing a party on your last bus ride, working to- gether for the first and last time, and pre- paring for the all important future. ShoNving off a class ring, buying Senior pictures, ordering caps and gow-ns: all of these lead tD that moment when you receive your diploma. -- from 1969 Buffalo Roundup David Anderson, treas. ; Jill Hughes, sec. ; Rickey Dill, pres. ; Rickey Lewis, pres.

Administration Students rarely had direct contact with the people behind the scenes, but the decisions of these people affected the lives of all in school. For instance, if the school board decided to tighten up the dress code, trips to the barber shop increased. If they decided to pave the parking lot, tire service bills were easier to bare. Although the administration par- tially controlled what we could and could not do, we were thankful for the trust they showed in us through continued support and encouragement.

To counteract this, taxpayers received a reduction in the yearly assessment. There was an in- surance policy subsidized for teachers.

Courses Are Fun, Interesting, Challenging It is constantly the teacher ' s endea- vor to make her classes as interesting and enjoyable as she can. However hard she may work there are always those students who fail to see this. Those stu- dents politely suggest, No homework!

Roundup Regiment Reports Routine Annual staffers ventured again to put together a yearbook which would please everyone, yet ac- curately present the year ' s events. They started by attending a workshop at Texas Tech. While there, they witnessed an exhibition of fearless driving (their spon- sjr ' s) and the unloading of Ring- ling-Brothers-Bamum-Bailey Cir- cus. David Stroud and Karla Simp- son were awarded first and second place for their planning notebooks. The staff obtained many ideas for making an exciting annual, and fell in love with their year- book. Upon the beginning of actual construction, however, they were reminded that annual staff is a challenge rather than a party. Headlines brought headaches, and deadlines produced dead- beats , as one staffer remarked. Terrie Oldaker, asst. ed. ; David Stroud, ed.; Dee Dee Adkins, bus. mgr.

Varsity Squad Places Three On District Team Seagraves dominated District 5A football with Plains in second place. Stanton and Shallowater were tied for third, but a Friday night snow storm left that position undetermined when a draw was called at halftime and the remain- der of the game canceled. When district coaches met the following week three local seniors were awarded berths on the all-district team. They were Scott Creech, defensive end; Tim Glynn, tackle; Kenoth McCalister, defensive half- back.

High spirited, they felt ready to take on district competition, but were psyched out in the first game allowing Seagraves to badly outscore them. Plains Cow- boys foimd the Buffs no easy mark but bested them by one score. Expected to beat O ' Donnell by a big margin, the team let down and won by only one touchdown. Varsity players were ready for Shallowater and clinching the third-place slot but were disa- ppointed when that game was called at halftime due to a snow- storm.

Snow Lends Twilight Zone ' ' Atmosphere It was the last game of the season. Snow began to fall just as the pep rally was over. Fans be- gan to rummage for longhandles, insvilated coveralls, wooly caps-- anything to help keep warm. The snow began to fall heavier and by game time no yard nor boundary lines were to be seen. Never-the- less, the coin was tossed, the op- posing teams lined up, the whis- tle blew and the game began. It became a contest to see which could push the other farth- est and still hold on to that elu- sive, wet, cold pigskin. At half- time players returned gratefully to the field house where frost-bitten toes and fingers were assessed. Meanwhile the superintendents of the two schools collaborated and declared a draw. Shallowater pla- yers and fans began their 125 mile trek northward where they reported arriving home at 3:00 a. m. Mgr. Freddy Hernandez stands ready with dry shoes.
