November Repeat Performance O 1 The warm, hazy weather of November went almost ur noticed as election day approached. Richard M. Nixon' loser image disappeared when he defeated presidentie hopefuls Vice-President Hubert Humphrey and former Gow ernor George Wallace. This came as no surprise to Nixo supporters, although it was one of the closest races ii history. The Republicans also won out in the U.S. Senate race whe former Governor Henry Bellmon defeated long-time incun' bent Mike Monroney. Alice Nlclnnis, a senior, was selectei city coordinator for Young Oklahomans for Bellmon campaigr Yet even with all that, no one neglected school activities Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music wa presented and enioyed as successful a run as it did o Broadway, though perhaps on a smaller scale. Football season ended like a last-minute touchdown whe KOMA radio station and Dr. Pepper chose junior, Asa Brac ley, as Prep Player of the Week for his action in th' Southeast game.

October Halloween Is Treats To Those students who thought that October held nothing new, were pleasantly surprised by what that month of- fered. Halloween's Trick or Treat was about the only normal event in a very eventful month. Who could have guessed that by the end of the month, Grant students would have had an Olympics of their own fif not quite on the scale of those in Mexico Cityl? The Junior Olympics replaced the quite ordinary events of track and swimming with the unique grapefruit competition and life-saver race. The Apollo space team weren't the only men with their heads in the clouds. Wonderman parachuted down to Grant to open the United Appeal Drive. This was the Sophomores' month to shine. Good Ameri- can democracy was practiced when they elected their class officers and, not the least of reasons, it made them really a part of Grant. State Future Teachers Association fall conference added to the confusion of school activities as representatives from all over the state were present to keep up the name of their school. Elected district leaders of the Fall Conference were Bobbie Berry and Debbie Denton. ' r M Some, Tricks To Others LEFT: Junior Olympians competed in three-legged races.
