Concerts during the 78-79 season included such performers as Black Sabbath, R.E.O. Speedwagon, Rainbow featuring Ritchie Blackmore, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Journey, Styx, Foghat and B.T.O. Although most concerts were performed at either the Tulsa Civic Center on the Fairgrounds Pavillion, there were several special guest appearances made by other fine musicians including Johnny Winters, Arlo Guthrie, Nick Gilder, and Fleetwood Mac ' s Bob Welch at the Cain ' s Ballroom. Jackson Browne gave a charity concert at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center downtown for the prevention of nuclear power at Black Fox. Ropers, and all of Tulsa, seemed to have a craving for the concerts which were expertly put together, and they are hoping the next concert season will be up to their expectations. uead vocalist Steve Tyler entertains Aerosmith fans. 20 Yes on their revolving stage.

And it ' s a direct hit! Last November the 5th was the 99th anniversary of Will Rogers birthday. As in the past Ropers celebrated the occasion with Will ' s Week. Will ' s Week was held October 30th through November the 4th. These dates allowed for Halloween and the annual Hale-Rogers football game to be held that same week. The calendar for the week was as follows. Monday: Finals for the Ping Pong tournament, which was won by Terry Wells. Tuesday: Tee-shirt Day, Wagon Races, and the Pie-throwing Contest. Wednesday: Dress-Up Day and Will ' s 99th Birthday Cake was presented to the faculty. Thursday: western Day, Roping and Horseshoe contests were held. Friday: Hex Hale Day and on this day all Rogers were to wear hats in order to Hex Hale. It must have worked because the Rogers football team upset the Rangers, 21-14. During Will ' s Week, Ropers, elected a senior boy and girl to the following positions: Most Intellectual β€” Stacy Spears and Mike Gabbert; Most Humorous β€” Donna Thomas and Charles Reilly: Most Athletic β€” Melissa Cleveland and David Hull; Friendliest β€” Tammy Townsend and Scott Sidwell. On Tuesday, October 31st, a Halloween jack-o-lantern contest was held. There were many entries but the winner of the contest was Mrs. Braizer ' s homeroom. Their jack-o-lantern was fixed up to look like Mickey Mouse. An honorable mention was given to Mr. Dempsev ' s homeroom.

This year Ropers showed exceptionally great spirit and pride in their school during homecoming. Sherry Malone was named Miss Will Rogers the Fortieth on October 20. Her court attendants were seniors Kay LaValley and Tammy Townsend; juniors Jodie Garcia and Julie Thruman; and sophomores Stephanie Carlson and Janna Carpenter. During halftime activities at the homecoming game with Edison, Miss Will Rogers and her attendants were brought onto the field for coronation ceremonies. They were accompanied by senior escorts Bill Yelton, Steve Lewis and Todd Terrell; junior escorts Tom Lackey and Mark Terrell; and sophomore escorts Jimmy Barton and Kevin Bruner. The Theme from Love Boat was played as Bill Yelton gave the queen her traditional kiss and escorted her off the field. fp Hi- Sherry receives the ceremonial kiss from Bill Yelton. f uM iiRiiS ip Miss Will Rogers and Senior Attendants.

OUTSIDE JOBS Many Ropers this year found themselves working part-time during the school year. Jobs varied from cashiers to service station attendants. Ropers were exposed to many different and interesting people while at their jobs. In many cases Ropers worked with students from rival schools such as Edison, East Central and even Hale.

Stacy, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leon J. Spears, led her class with a perfect 4.0 grade average β€” an outstanding achievement, especially in view of the wide range of subjects in which Stacy has been enrolled: Skills 4-5, Algebra II, French (2 years,) Orchestra, Geometry, Biology, Yearbook, Office Machines, Shorthand, and United States History. Stacy is regarded by her teachers as an excellent student who lives up to her full potential academically, and who always exhibits fine character. After graduation Stacy plans to work as a secretary until she begins college in the fall at The University of Tulsa. At TU she will work toward a degree in Business Administration with an eye on a career in business management. Outside of school Stacy plays tennis, sews, plays piano and violin, participates in a Methodist Youth Fellowship group, and went with a student tour to Paris during spring vacation this year. She has been active in Camp Fire Girls for eleven years, and in April received the Wo-He-Lo Award for high achievement in community involvement and personal growth. As a student and as a person, Stacy Spears represents the very best in Roper spirit and achievement. Stacy Karleen Spears Above: Stacy and counselor Daryl Browning confer.

She showed her appreciation for the band members by baking cookies for them to eat during half-time. Tammi announced for the band at the football games, contests and concerts. Tammi also represented the band in parades. I was really honored to be chosen Band Queen, said Tammi, It was lots of fun. ofic a tcA zmofi Tammi is presented to the Ropers. 41 PAUL ALTIZER F.B.L.A.

This year Rogers had two A.F.S. students. Fernando Beltran, from Spain, stayed with his hosting brothers, Matthew Ryan and Rick Meacham. As a senior he displayed school spirit by attending school games and other activities. Some of the things that he enjoys most are ice skating, tennis, and chess. Sociology and U.S. history were his favorite classes. After he returns home, he plans to study biology at a University in Madrid. The purpose of the A.F.S. program is to provide an opportunity for students from different countries to share their customs and lifestyles. Fernando has learned first hand a lot of things about the U.S., and we had a glimpse of what Spain was like. And now we add the nitroglycerin Fernando playing basketball in gym Fernando Beltran from Spam A.F.S. Raju prepares for an experiment Rogers ' other A.F.S. student this year was Raju Naiavajan. He was from Sri-Lanka, which is off the coast of India. He stayed with his hosting family, Mr. and Mrs. Freeman. Almost immediately he became a part of all the activities at Will on the Hill. The country he came from is very different from the U.S., but he soon found that he enjoyed many of the things that young people here enjoy. Reading, participating in many sports, collecting foreign stamps, and especially getting together with other A.F.S. students in the city to go ice skating were his favorite pastimes. In his family at home he is one of four children. He has two sisters and a twin brother. While he has been here, he has learned a lot and would not hesitate to return if he had the opportunity.

Knight (1903-1978) From 1950 until his retirement in 1969 Dr. Raymond W. Knight served as principal of Will Rogers High School. Under his guidance the school achieved a nationally recognized reputation for academic excellence, and reached its peak enrollment of nearly 3,000. Students at Will Rogers during the nineteen years of Dr. Knight ' s service saw in Dr. Knight the embodiment of the strong school spirit and deep pride which made Will Rogers High School outstanding. When Dr. Knight began as principal of the school in 1950 very little in the building besides the name over the front doors called to mind the man for whom the school was named. Through Dr. Knight ' s efforts the school acquired one of only two portraits of Will Rogers for which the great humorist sat. This portrait by Tambourini today hangs in the east entrance hallway of the school. Lining the walls of the second floor corridors are large photographic murals which trace the life of Will Rogers. These murals, too, are the result of Dr. Knight ' s efforts and encouragement. The Shaw Memorial Organ in the school auditorium was a gift from Judge and Mrs. Oras Shaw in the early 1950 ' s β€” a gift suggested by and acquired through the efforts of Dr. Knight. In all his endeavors it was always Dr. Knight ' s primary goal to provide the greatest educational opportunity possible for students at Will Rogers High School. Under his leadership the Advanced Placement Program and the Special Education Program were added to the Rogers curriculum. The city-wide Memorial Trust Fund Scholarship Foundation which has provided millions of dollars in scholarships for Tulsa ' s high school graduates began with a small scholarship fund Dr. Knight helped to establish in the 1950 ' s. The 1979 Lariat staff joins the thousands of Will Rogers High School alumni who note the passing of Dr. Raymond W. Knight, and who pause to remember him as a great friend of the school, a great educator, and a great Roper.

Students at Rogers made a commitment to attend every meeting and were able to relay information back to their homeroom. Members learn to express both their opinion and ideas at the meetings. Working as a unit better decisions were made. Student Council performs services for the school by conducting elections, coordinating the school calendar, and encouraging participation in school activities such as Will ' s Week. Student Council worked hard to raise funds through the sale of T-shirts and student directories to finance activities such as the Faculty Christmas Tea, feeder Junior High Breakfast, workshops and this year a Disco Dance. Other activities Student Council sponsored were the Can Foods Drive, Olympics, the Howdy Assembly, Will ' s Week and Dress-Up Days once a month. During the summer of 1978 student council officers attended workshops where they learned how to be more effective as leaders and have better understanding of the functions of Student Council. Officers also attended, with Superintendent of School, Larry Zenke, Advisory Committee meetings where they discussed the work of the Task-Force and its future effects on the communities.

LARIAT STAFF The 1979 LARIAT Staff worked hard to produce the 1979 Lariat, the theme of which was Reflections. More than half the staff had little or no experience working on a yearbook, so each day presented a variety of challenges, frustrations and victories. Yearbook sponsors, Pam Lundy and Mary Ann Parker, worked with staff members cropping pictures, measuring type, writing copy, and drawing the layouts for each page of the book. Fifth Hour, which is when the staff met each day, seemed to go by faster than any other hour of the day. The 1979 Lariat Staff worked long hours to produce a book which they could be proud of β€” one which would reflect the experiences of all Ropers during the 1978-1979 school year.

The Rogers NASA is made up of fourteen Ropers who spent the year learning about Indian history and cultural heritage, and participating with one another in a variety of social events such as a trip to Tsa-La-Gi at Tahlequah. The NASA is open to all Rogers students of Indian heritage or those who wish to know more about the native American experience. 59 HOOFPRINTS Hoofprints, the official Roper newspaper, met 4th hour in room 321 under the sponsorship of Mrs. Joann Ragsdale. The Hoofprints staff, nearly the same size as last year ' s staff, met one hour. The main objective of the staff was to put out a paper each month, but with a slow start, the first paper didn ' t come out until mid-November. The staff consisted of 16 seniors and 19 juniors. The staff editors this year were Michelle Drouillard, Kevin Dycus, and Kelly Young. Before the first Hoofprints was printed, the staff drilled to sharpen their writing skills. The staff, however, could not have done it without the cooperation and assistance of Mr. Bill Schneider and the Roger ' s vocational printing classes.

At their meeting in January FBLA members toured TJC. Then in March they toured ORU. They sold stationary for one of their fund raising activities. They also sponsored a heart hop last October at 20th Century. The $500 that was raised was donated to the heart association. Throughout the year they had various guest speakers. The big event of the year was attending the state wide FBLA conference held in April. This year it was held in Oklahoma City, with over 2,000 attending. They competed against each other in all business areas. Front Row: Stacy Spears. Tamra Cherry, Debbie Thompson, Shelly Moore.

DISTRIBUTION EDUCATION CLUBS OF AMERICA The 1978-79 chapter of Distributive Education Clubs of America was very busy this year. Their activities ranged from selling Blue and Gold sausage to collecting candy and delivering it to the Turley Children ' s Home on Halloween. This year ' s DECA students received on-the-job training from an assortment of stores including Target, Med-X, Kinney Shoes, Wendy ' s and Safeway. They learned the skills of Marketing and Distribution. During March 1979, our DECA students attended the state DECA Conference in Oklahoma City. There they competed against seventy-five other Oklahoma DECA chapters in various catagories of marketing and distribution.

While learning printing skills, the students serve the school by printing the newspaper, tickets and bulletins. The printing club also participates in Vocational Industrial Clubs of America. VICA is a national student orga nization for students enrolled in industrial, technical, and Health occupations. Mr. Paolucci advises Lisa Wilkeson. Industrial Cooperative Education offers many advantages in preparing young people for employment that can lead to lifetime careers. Through I.C.E. meaningful work experience is combined with formal education enabling students to acquire knowledge, skill, and appropriate work attitudes. Students go to school for three hours in the morning while working at jobs in the afternoon at such places as Endisco Supply Co., Malone Metal Fabricators Inc., Arc-Angel Welding Shop, Walt ' s Body Shop, Otasco, and Center Line Inc. The Will Rogers I.C.E. class has thirty-two students enrolled, including two girls. Mr. Paolucci supervises student ' s hard work Tom Jankowski takes a break. Industrial Cooperative Education FUTURE HOIMAKERS OF AMERICA This past year F.H.A. members held their meetings before school every Wednesday morning. To help pay for the F.H.A. dues the club members sold decorative turtles and whistle-light-key chains early in the school year. They went bowling together on Tuesdays to relax and enjoy themselves. In December they attended a Christmas party given by the food classes. Also as a whole the club members performed many different social services for our community. They helped the clothing classes organize the school fashion show, put on for the PTSA, and a selected group of students. . .v. mi Mrs. Velie, Pam Wright, June Harris and Peggy Kennedy admire Christmas tree.

In the spring Red Cross rounded up Ropers willing to donate blood β€” most donating blood for the first time. To be a donor a person had to be eighteen years old or seventeen with parental permission, in good health, and weigh at least 110 pounds.

A new ensemble formed this year was the Wire Kwire, a small string group that played pop and classical music. Both the Orchestra and the Wire Kwire were assisted this year by Mr. Aldee Marquis, a Rogers graduate now playing in the Tulsa Philharmonic.

Mrs. Stephens went to Webster for a day while Miss Jan Polumbus took charge of Rogers Spanish classes. The next day, students from both schools changed places. Both days turned out to be a fun and worthwhile experience, plus a chance to see how other classes are learning. This year ' s activities started with an informal meeting. An annual Fiesta de Navidad , Christmas Party, was held in December. Some members went to Austin, Texas, to compete in different categories for awards.

The 1978 football season was characterized by a renewed enthusiasm and a resurrection of wanning Roper pride. The 1978 Roperteam had to overcome one of football ' s biggest obstacles, inexperience. Only three starters returned to a new coaching staff. Early season practices and scrimmages were very encouraging. The season began on a very positive note with the Ropers blanking long-time rival Central 21-0. Other victories came over East Central 14-13 and Hale 21-14. The Ropers tied for the runner up spot in the District Conference but lost a coin flip to Hale which advanced to the State Playoffs. This year ' s team was promising and revived the Roper spirit.

They practiced from 6:00 a.m. until 8:00 a.m. Monday thru Friday. It was hard work, but they learned stunts and how to work together. At the end of the summer they went to S.M.U. for a cheerleading clinic. When the squad returned they had won five superior ribbons and a spirit stick. The Squad supported the football team well.

English is the department of skills, talent and imagination. English is said to be the study of grammar but it has proven to be much more! The multi-elective program has been going strong for three years and it is still full speed ahead. Roper students had the privilege of choosing their own English courses. Some courses available were Skills, The American Novel, Creative Writing, Drama, Folklore, Journalism, Mass Media, Mythology, Basic English and much more! With such a wide selection Rogers ' students found it difficult to decide which English course to select.

This year our Driver ' s Education department was directed by Coach Tom Hurst, Coach Don Calvert and Coach Fred Utter. Together they worked in taking on the task of teaching sophomores and a few juniors how to drive, along with a few other things such as first aid, civil defense and drug abuse. Most of all the sophomores were taught the basic movements of a car: forward and reverse. After an average of one month of class room instructions students started off by driving around the neighborhood working their way up to the busy freeways and downtown Tulsa. The first semester enrollment consisted of approximately 220 students to fill the zero thru fifth hour classes. During the first semester on October 25, 1978, two officers from the Department of Public Safety at Jenks came to give written and eye tests to students wishing to receive their operator ' s permit. CAUTION STUDENT DRIVER I Don Calvert teaching senior to drive. Don Calvert Tom Hurst Fred Utter students enrolled in Physical Education this year enjoyed a multiple choice system which was designed to give students a choice in what they choose to participate in. They took tests at the first of the year to see where they stood compared to other students on a national level. Then at the end of the year they were tested again; most had shown some improvement. The activities the students participated in were basketball, Softball, weightlifting, archery, swimming, volleyball, gymnastics, tennis, modern and square dancing, aerobics and for the first time football for boys and girls. At first the girls weren ' t too happy about playing football but as the semester progressed they had as much fun as the boys team. PHYSICAL EDOCATION Coach Head teaches the stick dance.

As the year progressed the juniors also sold spirit decals, blue gold derbies, and stuffed animals, we had the school crawling with stuffed critters at Christmas. Ropers had the cleanest cars in town after numerous junior car washes. Juniors also sponsored this year ' s Valentine ' s Day dance which was a great success.

Money-making projects and fun-filled activities kept the class on the move. The class officers worked hard to make the Class of ' 79 shine. All their hard work and enthusiasm paid off. The successful senior year came to a close with the Senior Prom, which was held at the new Williams Plaza Hotel in the beautiful Williams Center complex. Graduation and Vespers at last came the third week in May. Class colors were burgundy and pink. The class flower was a pink rose. This senior year is now a reflection and the Class of ' 79 is a memory that belongs to our youth and to the spirit of Rogers High School. Holly Overstreet keeping accurate accounts for senior class.

The theme Reflections used in this year ' s Lariat was chosen because we wished to reflect the people, experiences and spirit that are Will Rogers High School. Twenty years from now when each of us reflects on the 1978-79 school year, we will remember it as a time of exploration, new experiences, and growth β€” although right now we are unaware at times of the changes taking place in our lives. The diversity and change occuring in the world today are reflected in the diversity and change that exist at Will Rogers High School in 1979. Each of us reflects that diversity and change as we move toward the person each of us wishes to be. We hope that the 1979 Lariat captures and reflects those things in your life which are working now to move you toward the goals you wish to achieve. Brad McKenzie Lariat Editor ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS . . .
