MOVING TO THE NEW SCHOOL brought extra work to high school teachers who busied themselves to make a smooth transi- tion. Mrs. Vicki Vaughan and Kathy Cronic worked over the summer to get the biology room in order. RECREATION DURING THE VACATION months ranged from mountain hikes to swing- ing the bat.

SPFllNGTlME...Just as everything was bloom- ing and turning to beautiful shades of green, we were wraping up our last days of school. Springtime-those last days in the old building. The prom, the All Sports Banquet, band and chorus con- tests, Bye-Bye Birdie , and graduation commencement all added to our excite- ment of springtime '74. lVlarch started springtime activities with competitive basketball games. The High School FHA and the Junior High FHA fought a tough battle, but the high school team proved victorious. The final score was 14-13. Then we were able to see the Band Cuties iband students' fathers dressed as wom- enl show off their ability by cream- ing the KONIA disc jockeys 55 to 3. Spring vacation ilVlarch 18-221 proved a blessing for all of us. The en- tire week of freedom gave us a chance to rest before all the last minute school activities began. April gave us the premier of Bye- Hey! Remember The Spring? Bye Birdie . Three performances of the play was presented before parents and the student body. Tammy Lovelady re- ceived recognition for her performance. Seniors went about choosing gradua- tion announcements and the band left on its trip to the Bucconeer Festival in Corpus Christie. The prom, held in the Hall of Nlirrors at the Civic Center Music Hall, turned out to be a great success. The lVlay event included the crowning of Jana Huber and Mike lVlcGehee as Prom King and Queen. The All Sports Banquet, yearbook distribution, cheerleader tryouts, grad- uation, and those wonderful semester tests that we all know and love helped conclude the 1973-74 school year.

David Cox, Mike Highfield, David Bond, and Ken Hines re- hearsed marching routines during the last of August. Summer! Three beautiful, sunny no school months! That was the thought that occupied our minds. lt didn't take us long to get out of the habit of waking up at that ridiculous hour of 0-o-oh Man! It's 107 Today! 6:00 a.m. Temperatures soared, long, hot sticky days remained. lt was rumored that the highest temperature reached during the Oklahoma summer was 107C The ground grew dry and a drought be- gan. Vegetation wilted, cattle grew thirsty, and farmers began to scream. Although we were somewhat con- cerned about the farmers plight, we didn't let it stop our summer recrea- tion. Water skiing, bicycling, fishing, swimming, and tennis kept us busy. Slowly we noticed our skin growing dark, darker, darkest-unless ofcourse you were one of the lucky ones to grow pink, pinker, RED! Jobs helped out a lot when it came to summer expenses. That car payment sure took a big hunk of our salary though! Drill Team and Cheerleader camps, and journalism workshops were sched- uled during the early part of vacation. Band and Drill Team rehearsals took up the last two weeks in August. August also meant shopping for all those new clothes we would need for Cughll school. Summertime 11
