It is also not unusual to hear the response. “Nothing much; just the usual.” One guesses the “usual” is coming to school in the morning, listening to teachers, making notes, reading liooks, taking tests, and leaving for home. It sounds fairly monotonous, and it certainly does not sound fun. Yet, how many people can claim they have never laughed or at least cracked a smile at school? It is doubtful many could. School does not always have to lie serious, dismal, and “usual.” No one could say a pep rally is serious. People yell and scream to the Pink Panther’s theme while a person dressed like a yellowjacket dances among the cheerleaders. Homecoming week brings in a variety of the odd and unusual. People dressed like cowlxjys, an array of hats and socks, and clothes worn inside out appear at different times throughout the week. Events in the parking lot, especially at 8:10, are never dull. As a matter of fact, they can be downright frightening. The school also sponsors a number of clubs to which anyone can become a member. They provide much fun after school and occasionally during school Tornado and fire drills sometimes help to ease the torment of a bad day. Of course it is possible for a real fire to break out and more possible for a tornado to touch down. That makes one wonder if “just the usual is all that bad. Taking careful ami steady aim, Brent Sullivan concentrates on hitting the hu I Pa-eye. 2 Opening Trying desperately not to be tardy after the bell has rung, these girls rush to their seats. This student, like many others, uses the few minutes before school in cramming for a test. Opening 3 With a well-known battlecry, Brenda Owens begins to lead the student body in a cheer. Lunch is a good time to “take five” from classes and really relax with friends. Calm waters, warm sun and a good breeze make a perfect day for a sailboat outing. 4 Student Life Division Work, Work Work, “Teachers never give us time to do anything.” “Yeah, they work us all through the day, and if that’s not enough, they give us piles of work to do after school and; of all things, during the weekend!’ Even so, students do find time to do other things. School does end. Homework gets done. Usually there is a little time left over on the weekend to go out and preserve our sanity. Even school has its breaks in monotony with pep rallies, pep meetings, and special assemblies. When school is not in session (and sometimes when it is), one can find students in all kinds of activities. They bowl, play tennis, golf and ride bicycles. Their guns ecno in the woods, and their fishing lines splash in the water. They form friendly football or basketball games at vacant lots or unused hoops. They cringe low in the seats of darkened theaters as a movie draws toward its climactic end. They rush around stores looking for all the things they need but mostly the things they want. They hurry to places were food is sold to stuff themselves with such epicurean delights as hamburgers and corn dogs. Then there are those special times: parties, dances, Homecoming, and the Prom. The memories of those are forever embedded in the minds of all that attend. There, all realize that their lives are not boring and that the effects of school are not always present. Though school takes up much of their time, they must tolerate it. It is the price they pay for all the good times they do have. Juniors’ enthusiasm runs rampant as they vie with the other classes for the spirit stick. Student Life Division 5 Football practice takes up most of Chuck George’s precious spare time and energy. In order to maintain precision in their routine, Patsy Catlett, Susan Beaton, Sheryl Ball, and Ursula Wilson use extra time for practice. 6 Leisure School Time Pilling in spurt: time Kelly Dallas, Harry Hurst anti Bryan Pique read current magazines. Browsing in the library, Ix. sia McDaniel con templates checking out a l ook. Taking It Easy? “Yuck, is this chemistry hard. And I've still got English to do!” “I have homework running out my ears.” Sound familiar? Everyone seems to be in a hurry — rushing to class, doing forgotten homework, or studying for the test next period. There seems to never be enough time. Yet in a day when the phrase “spare- time” is almost obsolete to so many students, others still manage to find it around campus. For instance, there is everyone’s favorite pastime — talking. Students meet in hallways at lockers, water fountains and doorways to exchange news. Or, the latest gossip can be gleaned at the end of class, in the cafeteria or in the smoking area. For those not into gossip, there are other ways to spend those free moments. Cat naps, browsing in the library, or reading the latest best seller are also obvious favorites. “Hey, I didn’t know that was due today! I’ll talk to you later.” Working in the office gives Bryan Thomas no time to stop and rest. Leisure School Time 7 Changing Fantasy to Reality On April 8th our Junior-Senior prom An evening of revelry At 8 p.m. we hope you’ll come To join our Spring Fantasy . . . with the invitation came the usual rush for corsages, matching dresses and rented tuxes. . . . with the rush came the usual headache of finding willing students, workable ideas and “kind” teachers Yet the headache eased into pride (and relief) of seeing the chaotic plans turn into a reality of a marvelous setting and a wonderful time. Yes the rush slackened, the headache eased but the pride remains, like the invitation. Yet, this was not just a mere invitation. It was a heralder of a very memorable night and the tremendous effort put forth by people who wanted to make it a more than usual event. Working together as a team, as James Caldwell and Kay Brawner do, makes the work pass quickly. 8 The Prom Preparations for the junior-senior prom reach their climax as the theme is hoisted into place. The Prom 9 That Through the week people came dressed in a variety oi boots, hats, socks, colors, and styles. People rushed about the school in a mad frenzy trying to cover once barren halls with crepe paper and balloons. People took bunches of mums and left school to deliver them to their owners. All through the school a feeling of spirit, hope, and expectation lingered. Students could hardly keep their minds on study. Everything seemed to point towards that Friday night. All this reminded us that the impending confrontation with Earle was more than a football game. Friday Night At last that Friday night came. The stands of the football stadium filled with anxious people awaiting the kick. Many were students and parents living in Wynne, but others came from far away to see their old alma mater. Something special floated in the air. This game was definitely more than a game. It was Homecoming. Football players stand in attention to the flag (luring the tense moments before the Homecoming game. In a strange array of hats and socks are Lisa Bradbcrry, Kay Kennedy, Karin Fronabarger, Angie Birmingham, Kim Cox and Stella Thompson. Placing yellowjackets on the wall, Samuel Cribbs and Glen Tabor help the Seniors in the hall decorating contest. A blazing bonfire and yells of a vigorous crowd highlight Homecoming eve. The sound of a drum beat echoes in the background as Ronnie Haynes dresses Indian- style on Country and Western Day. Homecoming 11 Saturday Night: Live “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!” Though it’s not New York and there’s no Dan Aykroyd doing Beldar Conehead nor Jane Curtin doing the Weekend Update, Saturday Nights from Wynne are live, too. Well, maybe not as “wild and crazy”, but jieople seem to have fun nonetheless. For many people Saturday night means riding around town making the traditional loop and stopping in at the Pizza Hut to talk. But for others it’s combining l oth exercise and fun. These people usually go to the bowling alley or the skating rink. One place that is really jumping on Saturday night is the Disco Arena. The place literally shakes with all its “Boogie Oogie.” Some people, however, prefer going to Joneslioro or to Memphis; and still others prefer staying at home and watching television. But whether one is at a movie, dancing or just talking, Saturday nignts are definitely live. Disco fever is catching and Earl Boyland, Mahala Scott, Brenda Woodard and Sharon Boyland display their talent at dancing. Talking and eating at the Pizza Hut is a favorite activity of Harry Hurst, Beth Bassham, David Campbell and Lori Ellison Saturday Night. Hoping for a strike, Martin Fiscus practices his ! owlingon Saturday nights. 2 Saturday Night Live Deriding on whether to go in to see the movie, Ken Pry and Tim Hess read the advertisement and count their money. Combining exercise and fun Ruby Bennett and Rusty McClain s| end their Saturday night at the skating rink. Burning gas for the loo|w around town, one can see an array of cars on Saturday night. Saturday Night Live 1 3 Showing their brute strength, Perry Hess and Greg Hess battle it out to the end. 1 4 Students in Community Dazzling audiences with sleight-of-hand and tricks, Tim Sikes performs his magic act for the Kiwanis Club. An active member of her church, Sharon Taegtmeyer performs on the piano. Readily involved in 4-H, Francis Ray discusses the activities with Mrs. Shaver. Student Involvement What does a student do in his spare time? One would imagine nothing more than dates, games or just plain “lazing around”. But surprisingly enough, many of our students take an active part in community affairs. Organizations, such as the Heart Fund, have many young participants, who work to raise funds in programs like the annual skate-a-thon and roadblocks. Members of church youth groups find it rewarding to sing in choirs and visit the hospitals and nursing homes. Whether our students are participating in the March of Dimes, CYO, or doing volunteer work, they prove to be a valuable asset to our community and society. Teaching gymnastics, after school, Susan Beaton helps a girl with her technique. An elderly lady enjoys the help of Renona Crutcher who works part time at the hospital. Students in Community 15 16 Hoir Styles “A Hair-Raising Experience , -T What’s the biggest craze going around? It’s hairstyles! Hairstyles are as distinctive today as in earlier decades. Though long, short, curly, and straight are still fashionable, they have been joined by fly-back bangs, crimped, frizzed, and the new “metro” look that is cut short in the front and over the ears, then is longer in the back. From Farrah Fawcett fly-backs to the natural afro, we’ve come a long way from the ponytails, crew cuts and greasy ducktails of the fifties and the shag of the sixties. The guvs are going for the short and stvled look, and so are the girls. Because of the short styled look, hair dryers have become a new vogue. People are getting long hair cut and cut and cut into a short and sleek look. In this fast and growing world of short-haired people there are still a traditional few who can be found all up in rollers and who can “let their hair down.” Trying to keep up with the latest fashion, Cindy Hess has gone in for the stylish crimped look. Having chosen a short hairstyle. Steve Tucker finds caring for it a snap. HoirstyWs 17 Debating on which is better Rob Bledsoe and David Callison discuss the different types of T- Shirts. Announcing his attendance of a Billy Joel concert, Duane Williams proudly displays a T- Shirt. Showing which university she prefers, Lynn Reed proudly wears her ASU jersey. Displaying various rock group T-shirts, Kristi Reeves, Donna Hill, Lisa Hill, Lisa Davis, Clay Peevey. Jeff Clayton, and Jerry Smith promote their favorite group. 18 T-shirt� Express Yourself What was as individual as every person? What could express itself as freely as a j oet? T-shirts, of course! Some T-shirts provided a line of communication through which students expressed their attitudes and opinions. Many favored the comic viewpoint with familiar slogans like “Be nice to Me, I’ve had a hard day”; “I’m with Stupid”; or “I’m 1, whv try harder?” Others indicated the attendence of a concert, favorite rock groups, or an admired actor or actress. Numerous people used T-shirts to supjtort particular organizations or school activities. The seniors expressed individuality, as their T-shirts had the name of every member in the Class of “79”. T-shirts, along with straight- legged jeans, disco steps, and spiked heel shoes were much in style. Almost everyone owned at least one T-shirt in one of the various categories. Some even made a hobby of collecting different types. An expression of oneself and individuality were the whole theme behind T-shirts. Showing off his favorite idol, Robert Burnell poses in his Joe Cool T-shirt. Supporting her favorite club, Jan Kennedy wears her FHA T-shirt. T- him 19 It's a long, cold walk down the streets of Wynne for the band during the Christmas parade. “Deck the Halls” and Come All Ye Faithful” were two of the songs carolers from the Presbyterian Church sang throughout their neighborhood. In the holiday spirit too, Mac McClanahan decorates his home for Thanksgiving. Surprising her with a box of candy, Jeff Dangeau presents it to Libby Diebold on Valentine’s Day. 20 Holidays Taking A Break The bell sounds and they’re off and running. Sounds like the start of the Kentucky Derby, but it’s not. It’s students leaving for a holiday. Among the official holidays, Thanksgiving was the first. School was dismissed for two days, giving everyone a four day weekend. Next was Christmas, a glorious week and three days out of school, then it’s back to the grind of homework. Second semester was short of holidays because of the many days missed for bad weather. Yet there were those unofficial holidays like Halloween. Halloween night almost everyone was a prankster, pulling jokes on friends or getting even with enemies. Students brightened each other’s day on Valentine’s Day by exchanging cards. And how could anyone forget the weekend. It’s not an official holiday, but it’s a welcome relief after a hard week. Last but not least, there was summer. Three months of no school to do what ever a heart desires. But it won’t last forever, because school will be just around the corner. Junior Miss Cross County Debbie Whitt braves the cold weather for the Christmas parade. Extremely surprised by his frightening visitor. Skipper Rose gives candy to a trick-or-treater. Holidays 21 22 Hobbies Time On Their Hands Snare time was something that students had little of. But some students who did have a few spare minutes used them constructively. During their spare time they did what tney enjoyed most — their hobby. There was a wide range of hobbies among the students. Some students collected things such as antiques, stamps, bottles, and stuffed animals. Some people liked to use their hands for their hobbies such as building models, knitting, crocheting and tinkering with motors. Some students wanted to be creative and they wrote poems, painted and decoupaged. Many people did not like to be cooped up indoors and they found their hobbies outdoors. They did various things such as biking, fishing and working with plants. But whether one’s hobby w'as stamp collecting, painting or fishing, each was an enjoyable learning experience. Hoping he has a valuable stamp, Bobby Ragan ados another one to his collection. Many hours of hard work and practice go into Beverly Thomas’ hobby, ballet. Hobbies 23 Outstanding In Fact Involvement and leadership were qualities outstanding seniors possessed. These students were well- rounded and participated in many school activities. Among these twenty- seniors were our most able and familiar leaders. Leadership was demonstrated by such achievements as Student Council president, publication editor, club president and officer in such groups as Drama Club, FTA, Quill and Scroll, and FHA. Academically they excelled as several were involved in Beta Club, Scholarship Club and were National Merit finalists. In s]x rts they captured such honors as All-State and All-Region as well as being Captain of their team. Cheerleaders, drum major, band and flag corps members were among the number. Outstanding was definitely the word for these twenty students. Evy Lacy, Ann Hicks Debbie Hagan. James Caldwell, Evelyn Young 24 Outstanding Seniors Libby Lorenzen, Mac McClanahan, Kellye Courtney Karon Curtis, Terri Brown Outstanding Seniors 25 Valerie Hunt, Cindie Reeves Robert Burnett, Sharon Taegtmeyer, Vicki Hill Linked Together Intelligence, drive and determination were the common characteristics of the twelve honor graduates. Those students were chosen because they had maintained a 5.4 grade point average through their high school years. Each of the honor graduates was a person within himself. All of the honor graduates possessed a unique personality and had his own personal views. Individually they were involved in different activities with a busy schedule. These students were influenced by different things and different people. Yet there was a common bond that linked them together, which was their desire to learn as much as possible and at the same time maintain their grades. Glenda Britton, Vicki Hill 26 Honor Graduates Adding colpr and charm to the half-time show, the jr. high flag corps displays their ability. Performing in a Christmas concert, the Vocal Jazz Ensemble presents one of many numbers. A dip in the water may be refreshing for some, but for Chaun Meadows it is quite chilling. 28 Organizations Divison NNIe Gather Together Organizations played a very significant part in school for most students. They strove to enliven the humdrum, routine existence of the students. The organizations helped to develop a sense of purpose as the students participated in community projects. Many of these activities established pride and dedication in the students for the work that was done. In addition to being fun, these activities helped to develop and to mojd personalities. Almost all groups trained or instructed the numbers so that each gained some valuable experience. There was only one new organization, FBLA, Future Business Leaders of America, added to the previously established activities. This organization helped members to expand their knowledge in the business fields. Putting on plays, selling giant coloring books, and visiting the nursing home were some of the projects of the organizations. Some organizations once had only all boy or girl memberships, but girls had gotten more and more active in Future Farmers of America last year as well as this year. These activities aided in cushioning the load of coming to school. Some could even assist in better understanding of some classes. They attempted to increase our knowledge and sometimes helped us in our choice of careers. Most individuals could find at least one organization that interested him. Even though practice may seem rough and tiresome, the sr. high band members know that the half-time show must go on. Organizations Division 29 ◦bles Turned Some students made an occupation out of tormenting teachers (and vice versa of course). Tnat was why one so often saw teachers pulling their hair out. Members of the Future Teachere of America got a little taste of this treatment when they took part in teaching day in the Spring. Though this ordeal was the most well-known part of FT A, it was not all there was to it. There were many other activities the group took part in. Visiting the nursing home, selling shirts and license plates, all compounded points to be used for the FT A Convention in Little Rock. The club also had a Christmas party and a cookout. In all there was a lot more to being a future teacher than tolerating a group of kids for one day who strangely reminded one of oneself. Seniors and Juniors.

With an increase in membership of over 100 from last year, the club was one of the largest in the school. The large membership enabled them to participate in both fun and money-making projects. The club attended a Federation meeting, in October, at which each chapter in Arkansas had a different part in the day-long program. At this meeting, the clubs decided to create their own projects instead of conducting a state-wide project. For fund-raising purposes the club sold calendars to both tne public and the students. The money these projects made was used for the department. The FHA members attended the state meeting in March, and had a picnic in the spring to end the year. Putting their heads together Leslie Ballmann, Belinda O’dell, Glenda Abraham, and Brenda Crawford decide upon ways to sell calendars. Making plans for the next meeting, FHA President Evy Lacy meets with her competent staff. FHA Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors.

However, for all, Future Farmers of America has been a special opportunity to further skills and learning which will be helpful. Besides various judging contests, Future Farmers of America helped to increase its members' knowledge in the agricultural field. Technical skills such as welding and riveting were also major assets ascertained by members. Another important feature of FFA was the learning and practice of parliamentary procedure, an asset for anyone. FFA was certainly a good way of building a future. Learning how to use the band saw effectively, Bobby Morris works carefully. FFA 35 Facing New Challenges Contrary to popular opinion, GCECA was not all work. In fact it was a very active club with numerous activities. One of these activities was a dunking booth at the Halloween Carnival for fund raising purposes. The emphasis of the GCECA was on having fun and helping others. Besides a disco dance, they also had a fish fry and a pot luck supper. The club’s parade float entry, which was ‘Christmas Past, Christmas Present,” won first place for the second year in a row. Striving to help others, the GCECA contributed toys and canned foods to needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas. A new project the GCECA had was an Employee of the Week, which was published in the newspaper. Each week Mr. Paul Nichols chose the student he thought was most outstanding. Helping customers by putting their groceries on the counter is part of John Headley’s job at IGA. GCECA. Front Row : Karen Ross, Chaun Meadows. President; Greg Hess.

Some of these students were involved in the Coordinated Career Education program. These students attended classes in the morning and worked throughout the community in the afternoons. In the classroom, there was a kitchen, shop, health and office area that prepared students for jobs they were interested in. But besides being a school program CCE was an active club. The club held a car wash to raise money, and they had a picnic at Village Creek. The CCE also bought a ham and collected canned goods for a needy family at Christmas. The CCE members also made a tour of Sanyo Manufacturing and KWYN radio station. With this many activities, these students were surely kept busy. Following in his father’s footsteps, Tim Fisher of IGA starts at the bottom sacking groceries. Ringing up the cash register is an important job as assistant manager of the Taco Hut, Judy Davis, finds out. CCECA 37 New Beginings A new club was introduced into the “clan” of organizations: FBLA, the Future Business Leaders of America. With the help of sponsor Sharon Lawson, this group endeavored to promote interest in business-related careers. Eligibility depended on enrollment in business courses such as accounting, bookkeeping, typing, shorthand or business office education. They had several fund-raising projects such as a dart throwing booth at the Halloween carnival ana a coloring book sale. The officers attended a district leadership conference. The members were present at the District II convention. Some participated in individual competition. They also planned to take part in the National FBLA week. Being a new group they hoped for enthusiastic participation to establish FBLA permanently. Striving for more sales, Renae Bradsher and Karen Sanders try to persuade Mr. Gattinger to buy a coloring book for FBLA.

Last Chance A heartbreak for Beta Club members almost happened again. The annual Beta Club Convention held in Little Rock was cancelled. This meant that the seniors who missed the convention last year because of snow and ice would miss it again and never get to go. But because no one could safely get to Little Rock, the convention was rescheduled and the seniors had one last chance. Another annual event of the Beta Club was working with the Student Council on Parent’s Visitation Day. The Beta Club members handed out report cards, escorted the parents around, and ran errands for the teachers. Standingon their feet for three hours made the members more than glad when the day was finished. As an honor and service organization with these activities, the club had an outstanding year. In the few moments Ik fore the meeting is called to order. Beta Club members discuss whether they plan to go to the convention. Beta Club 39 On The Firing Line With its major goals, knowledge and safety, the Gun Club educated more students in the fundamentals of shooting. The safety catch, the trigger, hammer and the sight became familiar terms as members studied the parts of a gun. After attending classes after school, members were required to pass a hunter’s safety test before they were allowed to progress to the shooting During evening practice sessions, the girls’ gymnasium was closed to others as mats and targets were set up.

The library’ was probably the one place in school where every student was seen at least once a year. The library was just a usual, everyday library. It had approximately 9310 books, subscribed to eighty-one magazines, and four newspapers. It contained 150 records, an assortment of cassettes, microfische and microfische readers, and 459 audio-visual sets. However, the library department was anything but usual, for a new one began construction at the beginning of the year, and should be finished by mid- term next year. The reading room alone will be 5100 square feet ana will hold twenty thousand books. Just the usual? Not quite. Examining the books on the shelf, Sheryl Martin places a book back in the correct slot.

What’s happening, huh? The Spanish Club is happening, that’s what. Though it got off to a slow start, it wound up being just grande. El Cid, the Spanisn Club, initiated six new members at the first of the year, and with the combining of the Spanish Club and the Spanish Honor Society gained three members of the Honor Society. Another big change, the allowance of first year students in at semester, doubled the size of the Spanish Club. Of course, initiation, whether there were six or twenty- two, was an experience not soon forgotten. El Cid’s school meetings were always interesting, to say the least, and usually featured an entertainment. The Day of the Dead celebration was not as morbid as it sounds but quite fun. In the spring they had a choice of a spring banquet ora trip to Pancho’s. Either way tney were bound to get some good food. They could also use Spanish. So that’s quo pasado in Spanish Club. Planning the “fun and games” for incoming members, the initiation committee discusses a new idea to try out. 42 Spanish Club Before the beginning of a Spanish Club meeting members Treasa Weindel and Susan Bondurant admire the attractive bulletin board.

At least part of the presentations will be shared by student teacher Ken Harwood, native of Wisconsin and speech student at ASU. Among the promised offerings is a multi-media Leaders Theatre presentation of The Thurber Carnival. It will include acting, slides, cartoons, sound, and lighting. In March, Mr. Yarnold will take about thirty students from the Drama Club and speech classes to participate in a Forensic Tournament at ASU, including debate drama, interpretations, and other aspects of speecn and drama.

They achieved the former by running the bookstore for students’ convenience in the morning, presenting a free movie, selling senior T-shirts with the names of all graduates and the name of the school, presenting the annual pep rally with Forrest City, and planning festivities for Homecoming week. They achieved the latter by presenting a magic show to the public, by assisting the Beta Club during Parents’ Visitation, by making pictures with Santa Claus, by having boxes for the needy, and by collecting money as a present for the custodians during Christmas. It seemed that the main job of the council was to please everybody. In disguise as Santa Claus, Student Council member Greg Gaskins hel[ s raise money for the Student Council.

The Yellowjacket goes on sale again!” A Wynne High tradition was carried on again as the Yellowjacket, our bi-weekly publication of latest events, was sold at the meager price of ten cents. It continued, as always, to be a source of information concerning students’ lives and activities in and out of school. Publishing a newspaper every two weeks was no easy task. However, things did improve this year with the addition of a new, expensive carbon typewriter, which caused print to lie much clearer. The advertising staff also made some changes. All ads were printed on the last page, and their appearances were rotated. Still, time remained a factor. Though a lot of work was involved, the age-old tradition continued. Assistant editor Winn Wallin works diligently on the Yellowjacket to meet a deadline. Yellowjackef 49 What Are We Gonna Do? Students passing by the yearbook room often heard the familiar cry, “Deadline, deadline! We’re never gonna make it!” Sometimes it seemed a miracle that there was a yearbook at all. Not only was it difficult to meet those deadlines, but the cost of the yearbook also presented a problem. Although $8.00 seemed steep to many people, the price w'hich the students paid made up only 60% of the total cost of the yearbook. The remaining cost came from the selling of ads, which was no easy task. At the beginning of the year the 1979 Stinger staff even found time for a picnic at which they initiated their new yearbook adviser, Mrs. Janet Shropshire. Through all the deadlines, money problems, and hours spent after school, the results made the efforts worthwhile. Editor-in-chicf Evelyn Young discusses a page in the annual with layout editors Robin Rcagler and Joyce McCauley.

Right! Mixed vocal jazz ensemble was included in the big array of choral groups in the choral department. If anyone desired to develop a skill or try a hand at singing, they had a wide selection. There was the girls’ chorus, girls’ pop ensemble, madrigal singers and, of course, the concert choir. As the groups expanded, the before and after school rehearsals became almost unexpendable. The choirs worked very hard this vear. The concert choir sane at the Rotary Club and presented a Christmas concert. The chorus acquired a new director, Mr. Roy Capehart, who introduced many new pieces of music to the choral program. One of the many groups that practice after school is the pop ensemble that Lisa Orman, Barbara Baker, and LaTanza Madgett dedicate many hours to. Jazz Ensemble.

Paulette Boeckmann is the 1978 drum major of the junior high band. Tr ing to Keep Up Each morning, the sounding of trumpets and the beat of drums echo in the background during our first period classes. No, no one brought a radio to school. It’s the junior band and majorettes practicing. Some students found it hard to concentrate in the morning and fell behind in their marching. They made it through the morning drills, however, with a little “gentle persuasion” from band director Eric Durham. Mr. Durham’s leadership has led the band through many a Thursday night spent performing at junior games. More then this, the band has gone on to score successfully in contests with a II at Memphis State and a I at Little Rock. After football season, relaxation is not earned. Hard work and concentration must be maintained for the upcoming concert season. Front Row: Beth Basham. Kim Crabtree.

Complaints are heard as Mr. James Hall sternly replies, “Practice makes perfect.” This is an example of a typical practice. Marching at half-time is not all the band did, for they competed in various contests. During marching season the band competed at Memphis State University, at Region Marching Contest and at Little Rock. During concert season they also competed at Region Contest. A group of girls who add color to the band are the majorettes. During the summer the majorettes attended camp at Arkansas State University. They, with the band, spent many hours of practice, but always the practice seemed to pay off.

Spin-ups, angles, and figure eights are just a few of the other instructions the flag corps must follow. Both the junior and senior high flag corps combine these motions with the bright colors of their flags to add that special something to the band. Increasing its number from last year and the addition of non-band members has created the need for long practices after school and at night. Both flag corps attended camp where they learned many skills and routines. The combination of hard work and strong determination resulted in two exceptional flag corps. Success is the outcome for the jr. flag corps after a week of hart! work. 58 Junior ond Senior Flog Corps Encircling Grant Carwile as he plays his trumpet solo, the flag corps create an extraordinary illusion IF1 The senior high flag corps members are: Front Row: Gail Farmer,captain: Glenda Britton, captain; Rhonda Edwards, captain.

Football and volleyball games filled the schedule during the fall months, with basketball for boys and girls during the winter. Spring brought a chance for the track, tennis, and golf teams to add to our trophy collection. Due to an abundance of athletically talented students, all of our teams went to a state playoff. This in turn led to a large turnout of fans, and our facilities were overcrowded. Construction began on a new gymnasium which will accommodate approximately 1500 people, whereas the old gym can only seat 800 fans. This new facility will ease the scheduling problem of girls and boys teams who now vie for practice time in the gym. The Yellowjacket football team advanced to the second round of the state playoffs where they lost to Alma. This was the first time in the history of our school that the Jackets went to the state playoffs for two years in succession. Girls’ sports received more attention than ever. This was the fourth year for girls to participate in sports and these teams grew larger and improved. Track, tennis, volleyball, and golf were still minor sports but growing ones. These sports had more and more athletes trying out for the teams than ever before. More and more fans attended these events as the sports grew and people became more interested in them.

Spirit Division 61 Jackets Make History With seventeen returning senior lettermen setting the pace, the Yellowjackets clinched the 3AAA conference championship. This was the first time in the history of Wynne High that the Jackets won the conference championship two years in a row. The Jackets compiled a very impressive record, defeating such teams as Osceola, Marion, and Rivercrest. They also had a few- disappointing losses, perhaps the most frustrating to Parkin. Striving to attain their goal of playing in the state playoffs, the Jackets overcame many obstacles which would have deterred less spirited teams. Showing the determination and talent required to be a number one team, the Jackets made every student proud to be a part of Wynne High School.

Once again the Jackets went to state after claiming the district title. This was the second year in succession that they made it to the playoffs. In round one Wynne played Newport. The Jackets had beaten the Greyhounds in the regular season by seventeen. Newport had improved greatly since the two teams played, and gave Wynne a very tough game. The Jackets overcame the Greyhounds and claimed a seventeen to seven victory. The Jackets advanced to the second round of playoffs where they traveled to Alma. The Jackets, however, faced a big disappointment there after a long battle losing twenty-three to seven. The Jackets proved to be a successful team closing the season with an eight and four record. Besides this they placed eight players in all-district and one in all- state. All-District. Front: Jeff Dangeau, Bobby Smith, Phil Gahr, Chuck George, James Caldwell.

Hours of hard work were put into the job of being a cheerleader. During the summer they attended the cheerleading clinic at Arkansas State University to learn new cheers, routines, and skills. At the clinic the squad received outstanding and superior ratings. The cheerleaders made posters and signs for the games and pep rallies. They practiced every day to perfect their old cheers and learn new ones. More than just some pretty faces, cheerleaders must possess drive and determination. An added responsibility for senior cheerleaders was the Forrest City Exchange Assembly, a yearly event in which they represented the student body.

The team was strengthened by returning senior and junior starters, whose experience paid off in tight games. The Jackets demoralized their opponents with sharp shooting, aggressive rebounding, and a tenacious defense. With a balanced scoring attack led by three year starter Fred Argo, the Jackets defeated such teams as Jonesboro, Forrest City, Marion, and Rivercrest. The Rivercrest-Wynne game excited fans as John Jones consistent shots from the field enabled the Jackets to tie the game. In overtime the Jackets iced the game with two pressure free throws by Mac McClanahan. Wynne defeated Marion in a conference pressure game by a score of 69-63. This enabled them to enter the finals of the 3AAA district playoffs in Rivercrest in the number one position. They were automatically seeded in the state playoffs in Pine Bluff.

The Lady Jackets which consisted of eleven lentn and eleventh graders played extremely well in their games. Near the end of the season, their record stook 15-4 with several games vet to play. The Lady Jackets were blessed with some very fine players like Bettye Brooks Fiscus, the sophomore player who scored as many as 64 points in one game. A new student from California, Lori Middleton, l ecame an impressive asset to the Lady Jackets’ offensive ability. The defense was an effective one, good at relxmnding and stealing the ball. Defeating such teams as Hughes, Truman, and Osceola, the Lady JacKets steadily improved their standing. The comjietition in girls basketball grew stiffer as the sj)ort l ecame more l opular and the girls became more experienced in surrounding high schools.

Sr. Girls' Basketball 75 Junior Bays Gain Confidence Basketball was practiced diligently, and the Junior High Bees found work was rewarded when they defeated such teams as Cross County and Blytheville East. One of the most exciting contests of the season came when Blytheville East challenged the Bees. The Bees led 6-5 after the first quarter and 12-11 at the half. The Bees went on to win by a score of 28- 22. High scorers for the Bees were Doug Jones and Dwan Wilson. The best rebounder was Kenneth Reed for the defense. The Bees showed great promise and ability and should be able to provide the Jackets writh many fine young basketball players.

The junior hjgh team consisted of eighth and ninth graders who practiced every morning during first j eriod to learn new skills and plays. Karen Diggs and Tonya Ruston were key players for the offense, while Katny Hall headed up the defense. The Queen Bees faced several tough opponents such as Searcy, Brinkley, Wilson and Rivercrest. More fans attended these games than before and weren’t disappointed at the Queen Bees’ performances in these games. Girls’ basketball is played differently from boyss basketball. Girls playnaif-court basketball which is three forwards in one half of the court and three guards in the other half. This way might seem a little easier but it’s just as tiring and exciting as full-court basketball. The Lady Jackets can expect to receive plenty of girls with great skill, stamina, amiability to add to their basketball team. Hopingto add two more pints to the score, Karen Diggs shoots for the goal.

Ready, Aim, Servei Volleyball has increased in popularity in America, and the Wynne High School girls’ volleyball team proved no exception. This was the fourth year of the volleyball team and it has been a successful one. Coach Joanne Snider was new to the job, but quickly caught on to how things work. The girls practiced almost every day in the girls’ gym with Coach Snider instructing them. Both A and B teams played approximately the same schedule and were in several tournaments. The district tournament was a great disappointment. The Jackettes drew a bye in the first round. In second round action they beat Earle and lost in the third and fourth rounds, which eliminated the Jackettes from the state playoffs. Although the Jackettes weren’t able to make it to the state playoffs this year, they hope to make a strong comeback next year and to become one of the most powerful teams in the state in the future.

Many days the track resembled an interstate highway during rush hour as the hoys’ and girls’ track teams both vied for running room. Both track teams performed well in the Yellowjacket relays and in their district meets with many individuals qualifying: for the state meet. The senior girls 880-yard relay team consisting of Diane Thompson, Gwen Harris, Tresha Cotton, and Sheila Lyons, placed in the state meet and advanced to the Meet of the Champions. Those athletes not running track found their exercise in the weight room running the ropes, and lifting weights on the universal gym. Working on the universal gym, Anthony Chambers builds up his muscles in weightlifting. To strengthen his leg muscles, Tim Hess works on the leg press during weight lifting. Weight lifting is a gtxxl way to stay in sha| e and Paul Ford is working hard on the universal gym to do just that. 80 Weight Lifting Sprinting for the finish line, Bobby Smith completes one of many drills in track. In the starting position, Kitty Walker anticipates the sound of the gun. After a hard days work, Samuel Cribbs gladly leaves the track. Trock 81 Swinging in the Spring As basketball season with its wintry weather drew to a close, the golf and tennis teams moved to the greens and courts and l egan serious practice. With consistent performance, the tennis team had two meml ers, singles player Karon Curtis and doubles team Kelly Billings and Karon Curtis,go undefeated. In the district meet Karon Curtis. Libby Lorenzen, Greg Hogue, and Harry Hurst won their doubles matches and progressed to the state meet which was played in Little Rock. The golf team won a majority of their tournaments and practiced every day after school to achieve their record. Our golf team won the district tournament with Mike Foriska, Martin Fiscus, Laddy Diebold, and Fred Argo playing in the state tournament. The golf team made a mark as one of the l est golf teams in the state. While spring sports did not receive as much emphasis or participants as football or basketball, our teams are improving and developing a supj ortive group of fans to cheer them on to victory. “I think I hooked it a little too much,” is the cry as Mac McClanahan examines his questionable shot. As tennis season nears, Steven Ervin and Willard Burks prepare for early matches. 82 Tennis Golf Golf team: Bert Bassham, Mac McClanahan, Fred Argo, Martin Fiscus, and Laddy Diebold.

Academics, of course, was the main reason for going to school, contrary to prior belief. Though it was the main reason, several felt it was not a very good one. Students did, however, manage to gain enough stamina to march to English, trudge to science, trod to math, slink to history, slump to any equally tiring elective and finally crawl to athletics or P.E. where one barely had enough energy left to stand. It would seem that through all this, the average person would have needed oxygen once in a while. Of course, the student was not an average person; he was in a class by himself. This all seemed quite the usual, but was it really? True, students did have to conquer all those things that every student had to overcome before him, discussing the works of Shakespeare, or the value of x, or causes of the Revolutionary War. So, why didn't everyone just give up? Probably they found that learning something was not half as bad as they all pretended it was. The classes they took were not the same as last year, and the teachers that taught the subjects were not the same. However, everyone tended to forget that new courses like sociology and psychology were added and new teachers were hired. People said they liked academics less, but they did not necessarily say what they thought. Did Ricky Robinson break his arm? No, Coach Lott demonstrates the technique of making a sling. Academics Division 85 “Let’s see now the answer is 4x- + 2x - 1, no it’s William Shakespeare, then again it could be the War of 1812, but really I think it’s the digestive system.” These were a few examples of “just the usual” things students at WHS learned during their high school years. A student was required to take a certain number of courses. Before a student could graduate, he must have had four units of English, three units of History, two units of math, science, and physical education each, and one unit of health. As a freshman, one was required to take at least English I and general science and a math class. In the sophomore year the requirements were English II, biology, and world history. In the junior year English III and American history were taken. English IV and American government were taken in the senior year. These subjects were a vital part of each student’s education whether he was college bound or not. After a tiring work-out in P.E., Kelly Billings prepares to go home and rest. Looking to the future, Vickie Murrah carefully studies a booklet on income tax. Discovering another aspect of science, Scott Doss, Reginald Williams and Randy Hamilton examine a marine land model in class. 86 Required Subjects Determined to make that semester grade, Alan Caldwell hurriedly finishes his newspaper article before government class. Intently involved in the newly required subject of health, Sheila Stricklin practices taking blood pressure with Jackie Perkins. Learning Equals We spend from 45 minutes to one hour in each class, then we immediately go to another subject. This means that if a student has been in English and then goes to physics, he has to adjust his thinking from Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Albert Einstein. Many students find this frustrating and tiresome. But as long as one expects to learn he must become accustomed to the schedule. Even though four solid subjects were a requirement each year, we had the choice of which type of class we wanted to take in some subjects. This gave us the chance to take, for example, the type of math we were interested in. Besides the varieties in this area, one also had the option of taking two years of physical education, band, or athletics. So we did have some choices even to the required courses we took. Having these cnoices enabled us to have more interest in school and in some ways to personalize our schedule. Looking cfuite puzzled, Beverly Thomas attempts to apply geometric theorems in class. 88 Require ! Subjects Taking a break from the daily routine, Mr. Hill’s science class experiments in meteorology by sending up weather balloons. Discovering new facts about science, Angela Beard looks intently into the microscope. Required Subjects 89 Will they erupt?” is the question in Dwan Wilson, Paulette Boeckmann, Sharon Walker, and Richard Clark’s minds as they watch. In world history the knowledge of geographical locations is important as Barbara Lamb demonstrates. Helping to prepare Mr. Offutt’s discussion of art in history, Brenda Layton loads slides in the projector. After learning about artificial respiration Patti Young and Brian Boger demonstrate the method while Coach Treadway watches closely. 90 Required Subjects A Rewarding Education The curriculum here has been called outstanding. Although the subjects were hard, evidence of past alumni has proven that learning has taken a stronghold. The somewhat strict curriculum has enforced the more essential subjects for continuing after high school. Learning is what education is all about, so we should be proud of our curriculum. Required subjects have been the stepping stones for broadening our knowledge and self-interests. Even though they may sometimes not be appreciated, required subjects were a great asset to our future. They not only taught us things about certain subjects, but something much more important. They taught us how to make the best out of something even if we do not like it. So we have to admit, those required subjects did teach us something. To many of us, like Fred Gresham, algebra can be a hard subject to understand, but Ms. Branch is always there to help make it easier. Hunting in the card catalog Victor Purnell and Calvin Tucker search for a book for a report. Required Subjects 91 Most students tried to arrange their schedules to make their day as easy as possible. They rationalized classes they did not like by saying, “I had to have this class to graduate.” However, when it came to electives, “well you asked for it”. Even so, electives were not like other classes. Since students picked them themselves, they had to be interesting in order to draw people. Of course, it was possible that some students took electives courses just to get out of taking other courses, but even if this was the case, they probably found their elective courses as challenging as any other class, if not more so. However, fun times did occur in electives, and in some cases electives gave students ideal spots to let off a little steam and relax. Of course in mentioning electives one could not forget that jtopular elective that is not even a course, study hall. It really gave students a place to relax. Striving to perfect his aim, Steve Grant practices in advanced P.K. 92 Electives The look on the faces of Rickey Stanley and Mike Pearson seems to ask, What does it mean?” Smiling at a character’s rejoinder, Jo Morris listens closely to a dialogue in Spanish. areful to align his se Uses a squeegee'to pr n. Richard Hanback the ink through the silk. Each wondering what the other has, Debbie Whitt, Martin Fiscus, and Susan Bondurant play an interesting game of spades. Making herself understood, Ursula Wilson uses a gesture during a two-man debate. Electives 93 And You Got It! There was a wide variety of electives from which students could choose. If they wanted to rid themselves of hostilities by playing games, they could join Advanced P.E. It, unlike regular P.E., involved games that adults might play. Students could learn how to bowl, golf, play tennis and even less physical games like cards, Monojxdy, or jacks. I f they strove to speak another language, they could habla cspanol in Spanish class. For people who wanted to improve their driving or prepare for a driving test, there was driver’s education. If they liked to scribble and draw, they might find that they have talent in Art. If they liked to talk best of all, they might learn how to do it well in Speech Class. Of course they could always prepare for the future in family living and if they had musical aspirations there was chorus and band. No matter what elective might have interested “you”, “you got it.” Brushing the wax onto the cloth, Clara Young creates a batik as Kirk Williams looks on.

But to many seniors it was only the beginning of more education. Many of these seniors chose to attend a college or university. A numlairof hours of hard work went into their preparation for college. Preparation for college began in the first years of high school; for our curriculum was geared toward college lx)und students. Many teachers would also tell the students what their college professors would expect if they were in college. Some students took courses their senior year which were mainly for the college lH)und. In the mathematics department some took trigonometry and analysis and others t x k accounting. The scientific minded students t x k physics. A new course that was offered and was taken by many was psychology and sociology. For a college l ound student his high school years were his basis for college and the future. A problem in trigonometry presents a stumbling block to Mike George as he works it on the board.

As Sharon Neiswander reads Psychology Today she finds some interesting sociology articles. 98 Colley Bound Only a Beginning Not all college preparation was in the classroom. For there had to be many other activities done before entering a college. The activities were: taking ACT, SAT, and CLEP tests, sending applications and applying for financial aid. Before a student may enter a college he must take tests. A test that was required by nearly every college was the American College Test or the ACT test. This test consisted of four different parts: English, mathematics, socialstudies, and natural sciences. Another test that was required by some colleges was the Scholastic Aptitude Test or the SAT test. This test consisted of only English and mathematics sections. But testing was not the only thing a student had to do. He had to apply to colleges and hope he was accepted. Because of the cost of college many students applied for financial aid to help out the cost. Graduation was not an ending, only a beginning to a bright new future. Preparing for a sociology report, Steve Tucker and Robin Ellis set up their audio-visual aids. Demonstrating Hooke's Law, Barry Callahan and Mike Clegg experiment in physics. College Bound 99 Typing, home economics, exploratory agriculture, and short hand, were some of the selections available in vocational education courses. These classes were designed for students wishing to develop a skill for future occupations. For those interested in business careers there were a number of courses to choose from. Learning how to type with an even, steady pace and taking dictation efficiently could help one get a secretarial job. Accounting and bookkeeping were for those interested in the financial aspect of a business. BOE, Business Office Education, showed students the guide lines for running a business. Those more interested in a domestic field could have taken home economics and agriculture. Home economics provided training in the fundamentals of housekeeping, sewing, and cooking while agriculture taught not only the fundamentals of farming but the basics in electricity too. A sight that is not unusual anymore is to see hoys like John Auther Jones cooking in Home Economics. Following the recipe step by step Cheryl Baxter mixes the batter in hopes her cake will turn out delicious.

Typing on carbon copies becomes very difficult when a mistake is made, as Lynne Haire discovers. Off-Campus Learning In addition to the regular vo-ed classes offered on campus, a new program was introduced into the vocational educational department. Crowley’s Ridge Vo-Tech provided an opportunity for students who were not planning to attend college to gain experience in various fields for future occupations. Appliance service and repair, auto body repair, auto mechanics, building trades, industrial equipment mechanics, drafting, machine shop and welding were the choices of classes. Twenty-eight individuals participated in this course. An astounding one third were girls! They met at eight-twenty every morning and boarded a bus bound for Crowley’s Ridge Vocational School and attended classes until eleven-twenty. At that time the group returned to regular required subjects. Those students who voiced their opinions stated that they thoroughly enjoyed it.

I 104 People Division OO V c V S Familiar Faces It seems that in the space of one school term those same familar faces keep popping up again and again, people you see every day without fail. You see them in school, as though you are tied to them. Seeing those same faces over and over again tend to make you a little bored and make you wonder if you are getting into a rut. You endure the monotony of those same faces for you couldn’t live like a hermit, though you wonder if it might be more interesting if not at least different. Occasionally a new face will come and for a while it will seem you have left the commonplace. Someone different will come, someone with his own story to tell, someone not quite like anyone you have met before. You will talk for many days, get to know each other better. He will tell you all the highlights from his life, and you can return with the highlights from yours. A friendship will bud then blossom. Suddenly you realize, he has become just another familiar face. Now you begin to feel bad again, bored, unenthusiastic. Then a friend comes to you one day and says something you have never expected from him, something totally out of character. You have learned some very important things. Though life may seem dull and usual, and those same faces keep popping up day after day, people change every day, and as long as you have friends, life can never be boring. Familiar faces go far beyond appearances. Babysitting isn’t all work as Freddie Gahr gives little brother Jay a lofty seat at the bonfire pep rally. P opl« Division 105 ARGO, WILLIAM FRED.

Senioritis Senioritis was what it was called by many teachers, but the 188 graduating seniors called it happiness because they were in their last year in high school. This excitement and happiness caused many seniors to slack up and to goof off, but there were those who still worked hard. Seniors eagerly looked forward to exemption from final exams. To qualify they had to maintain a B average and have no truancies or unexcused tardies. As the year progressed, so did senioritis, but many seniors still were exempt from finals. Hoping that their names are on the list, seniors Ray Boeckmann and Steve Hall check to see if they will be exempt from English. 110 Seniors Beginning the second semester with dreams of commencement, Gina Lee is measured by Mr. Baugus for her cap and gown.

But the honor goes to the juniors. They were considered the busiest class. Fund Raising projects proved to be a chore as they sold and delivered 1,300 mums for Homecoming. Later magazine sales slips were in abundance as they sold magazine subscriptions to help finance the prom. All this work Enabled the juniors to present the seniors with an evening at the Jr. Sr. Prom.

At sixteen they became more involved in outside activities. Access to cars now made practices and club meetings after school more convenient for both students and parents. They were now able to join the varsity teams in sports. Males and females both held strong positions on the varsity teams. Witn super enthusiasm, they won the spirit stick several times at pep rallies. But sports was not the only area they contributed to. Many sophomores were active in organizations and held offices in school clubs. Through all these activities, some managed to keep their grades up to qualify for Scholarship and Beta Clubs. “Well all right!” is Byron Smith’s response when he finds his name on the Scholarship Banquet list.

Although every high school student had l)ecn through the transition, they tended to forget it. The freshmen then ended up trying to make the best out of a Dad situation. The change from a happy-go-lucky kid into a rising young adult had always been a strain for ninth graders as it was for these 288 students. Somehow, they managed to rise above the pain and realization that they were no longer the tallest ones in school. They discovered that they could no longer play run- through and that school was not going to be a game anymore. Here passing those classes was all important as it built credits needed for graduation. They had to realize that they were not kids anymore. They were students.

Alex Freshmen 139 Dedication Beyond Duty If there was anyone in this school considered just the usual it was the five members of the school board. They were the unknown, ignored, and forgotten members of the school system whom we hardly ever saw and normally just as soon not. However, without their constant assistance in finances, this school would not have existed at all. The board discussed issues such as school funding and changes in faculty. They also considered issues that were broght to them by students and the public. Keeping both students and faculty in mind, the board decided and discussed these issues for the best interests of everyone. These five publicly elected members worked diligently even though the school board was an extra job. These people have proven to be outstanding and unusual leaders. Grinding the soles of shoes is made an art by Bedford Tuberville, employee of Addison Shoe Company. 140 School Board Paperwork, paperwork and more paperwork is just one of Mr. Wigginton’s responsibilities. Keeping a watchful eye on bus study hall, Mr. Diederich helps maintain order. Principal of the “Slow down! Don’t run in the halls.” “Take that hat off in the building.” “Why were you absent yesterday?” These were common phrases that our principals said during a normal day. The students did not always appreciate their persistence at tnwarting everyday attempts at breaking the rules. Though discipline seemed the only activity engaged in by the principals, they nad many other responsibilities. They had the Thing jobs of changing schedules, keeping track of absentees and making sure both the students and faculty were informed of school events. In addition to Mr. Smith, a new assistant principal, Mr. Diederich, came to our school from Wilson Junior High where he had served 10 years. Head of transportation is one of the new jobs for Mr. Huggins, as he checks the busing situation witn Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Baugus. Making the daily announcements, Mr. Smith makes sure he doesn’t leave one out. Administration 141 Always There While most students were happy when school was out for weatner conditions, there were two people who were almost always at school. Those two people were our secretaries. The secretaries seemed never to have a slow day. The basic jobs of the secretaries were checking absentees, collecting money for various things and doing loads of paperwork. But the secretaries had extra jobs. They would listen to complaints of students, teachers and even the principals. The secretaries were always there for everyone. But the secretaries did have some help. This help came from students who were office workers. These students did anything to help ease the load of the secretaries. The secretaries were women who did almost everything. They were phenomenal and extraordinarily talentea. During her busy day M rs. Curtner always finds time to help students like she helps Chess Crutcher. Office Workers.

Helping Us to Meet Our Goals We have always heard that taxes go to support our educational system — but how? Some tax money went to the government services department here in school. In government sources they utilized the money to hire teachers for classes such as reading, to buy teaching aids and audio-visual equipment, and to fund special programs. These programs were an important part of government services. The Pragmatic Pre-employment training program allocated money for students working half the day and attending classes half the day. On the lunch program, the price of a reduced lunen was recently lowered again to ten cents. Government services reached throughout our school system aiding the educational processes by using taxpayers’ money to improve and aid the ograms used in our classes. Finances and special programs are some of the many responsibilities of Government Services Coordinator Mr. Catterton. Government Services 143 Professionals Too! Whether we knew it or not, the people who taught us each day were professionals. They did not sit behind a desk with a vested suit on or have a set work day that started at eight o’clock and ended at three. There was paper grading, typing, averaging grades and school clubs that could not fit into those hours. Teaching is a profession that requires special qualities. Much college preparation was required to get a teaching license. With an interest in education as a whole, they feel an obligation and duty to the students to be professional enough to co-operate in communicating with them. Without this communication all would be lost. Having a chance to eat while on lunch duty, Coach Smith snacks on a hag of raisins.

Faculty 149 Unsung Heroes Since everyone needed something to gripe about, it was usually the cafeteria’s food that got the complaints. However, the cafeteria workers prepared fully nutritious meals for the cost of forty cents with little assistance from the state government. The custodians also performed an unusually difficult task. They cleaned up after almost a thousand students, who did not often clean up after themselves. To these people, the unsung heroes, we owe a big thanks.

Index 189 The Unusual Strikes Again Well, another day has come and gone. When it began, everyone expected the same thing that happened a thousand times before. Just the usual — it was a phrase people used as often as they breathed. They all felt a little down. Then something happened. No one was quite sure what it was, but it happened. People brightened. Frowns turned to smiles. It was like the words from that hit musical “The Wiz”, “Can’t you feel a brand new day?” It seemed as if a new day had aawned. People were happy. Why would this be: They were in school, just trying to exist through another grueling year. For some reason, everyone seemed cheerful and bright. Why? Why?? Why??? Maybe it was because they just felt happy that they were alive, happy because they were able to De with people they liked, maybe even happy learning something a little new, unusual. They might have been happy being an integral part of a group, someone on whom other people depended, someone to respect. Tney might have been happy aDout the time they spent out of class, having fun with friends, driving around. Maybe they felt happy that they were free to test their agility in sports, see how they stood up to others, better than some but still not as good as others. Maybe they were just happy for the sake of being happy. A person only gets out of life what he wants. If he wanted it to be more than any other, then he spent a year which was not — just the usual. In a natural looking setting, Joan Owen enjoys the recess on Teaching Day. 190 Closing Besides his regular teaching duties, Mr. Elbert Person extends a helping hand on the Junior-Senior Prom.
