Beginning Again In August '74

Back in school with new Seniors and new Freshmen, everybody is having mixed feelings. Some are glad to be back, and others wish that the vacation would never end.

It's really nice living on the lake, all you have to do is hop in the car or on a bicycle and ride for a few minutes and you're there ready to picnic, swim, or whatever.

Most of the students work during the summer and some are planning on con­tinuing during school. That's a really tough schedule. But if you are a Senior or Junior there are expenses that require a lot of money, like graduation an­nouncements and those great senior rings that seem to be magical. When you put that ring on your finger you feel special, probably only to yourself but who cares you're special.

Just passing through, with something to say. just passing through not enough days. Thinking of friends, and lovers, and time,

•realizing it's been your life, and it's been mine. The years cause changes, as they pass by; It's time to laugh, it's time to cry. We found moments to work and moments to play. and through it all we found our way. There's things accomplished and tasks undone, there's down-hearted defeats, and victories won. We found so much, it's because we're young. we found friends to be loved, and songs to be sung. We discovered ideals, as we passed by, always taking the time to glance at the sky. Taking the time to stand beneath the stars, growing up and realizing it's more than games and cars. Now is the time, the future is here, just passing through, ready to trample our fears. It's time to look back and remember, but what good does it do? It's life. AND WE'RE JUST PASSIN THRU

A Little Bit Of Life At

Life around school was always chang­ing. One minute it would be dead and the next minute there would be hun­dreds of things happening. Some of it was fun and some was scarey. Basket­ball, football, dances, and the powder puff football game were super moments. But the day that the tor­nado alarm was sounded wasn't much fun. People were piled into the halls and packed like sardines, not know­ing what to expect.

The daily routine was broken up by various activities like sadie hawkins and a nifty-fifties music and the nor­mal occurrences M.H.S. s tudents could create.

A bad place to be when the bell rings is in the halls. It's mass confusion. You are really lucky if you come out with no bruises or being knocked down at least once.

Juniors Present Tragedy, Comedy

A jinx on the Junior play? It seemed that way when both the director, Ms. Smith, and the female lead in SORRY WRONG NUMBER, Ber-nice McKaughan, were hospitalized within the hectic weeks before the performance. With fast recovering and hard work by them and their fellow performers they were able to perform in the three performances on March 14, 1975.

SORRY WRONG NUMBER by Lucille Fletcher was performed first by a cast of 14. I t was then followed by the third act of "Plaza Suite." VISITOR FROM FOREST HILLS by Neil Simon with a cast of just four.

"When I got out of the hospital I wondered whether we could get the play on by Friday but as the days went by I realized everything would be all right." said Bernice McKaughan.

Senior Play Running Success SEE HOW THEY RUN by Philip King, performed by the Senior Class, almost didn't come off on November 22. 1974. Due to a few technical and crew problems the rehearsals went behind schedule.

First, as the play books were a week late, the cast had only five instead of six weeks to put the play together. Second, Mrs. Teresa Lane. Director, was hospitalized a week before the performance date.

During Mrs. Lane's illness. Miss Diana Smith. Speech teacher, and Mrs. Sharon Wallace. Senior English teacher, helped at play practice.

Sheila Landers, cast member, remarked, "Without them the play couldn't have gone

Few people realized the time and work put into just that one play. The cast practiced after school each day and on Saturdays for five weeks scheduling practices around school events and community affairs. Almost all the cast members has to memorize over 200 lines.

Still, with all these problems the play did go on for two performances on Friday. November 22.

The matinee in the afternoon for high school students brought comments of praise from the underclassmen.

Tammy Malicoate remarked. "I t was the best play she had ever seen at Mannford High School.

That evening the cast went through the en­trances and exits of a letter perfect perfor­mance.

Practical Arts Everyone must be practical at one time or another, and Mannford has several courses which help students learn basic skills in driving, budgeting, farming, homemaking or business.

In a world of business today, having a skill of typing or bookkeeping or shorthand comes in handy for getting a job or improving your situation at home or school. M.H.S.'s business courses were geared for beginners and/or ad­vanced typists, bookkeepers or secretaries-to-be.

While driving a car is probably the funniest lessons taught, learning to drive the car safely is the hardest part. Each one waits anxiously nervous for that big moment behind the wheel after all those weeks of films, lectures and tests from that little driver's guide—the manual.

The vocational classes, home economics and agriculture, offer many units of practical knowledge for both males and females. In home ec classes both sexes learn to cope with problems of home life today. In ag classes the number of students has decreased, but the number of females enter­ing the field of ag has increased.

Musical Goes Back To The Keen-0 Fifties

" I t was a lot of hard work, but it was worth it. It was a whole lot of fun," said just about everyone who participated in the musical-comedy play, Rock 'N Roll by David Cothrell and Michael Finerat. The play was performed by the Mannford High School Select Group on May 15 and 16 at 8:00 p.m. and in the afternoon for the elementary and high school students.

"Plays bring people together. People that I hardly ever talked to, I really got to know during the play." said Karen Flippo.

The Musical was especially hard to put on because of many reasons. Two of these problems were the clothing and hair styles. Not everyone in high school has 50's clothing and wears their hair like they did in the 50's. Probably the most difficult things was keeping a straight face while everyone in the audience was laughing.

Fine Arts For a school with overpopulation problems the Mannford fine arts, math, science and social studies departments were begging for more student population in '75. In the crowded M.H.S. hallways few people pushed their ways to a trigonometry class of 4 or to a physics class of 3. Band members numbered a little more than that, but they were a select group busy with their contests and drills and new uniforms.

Foreign language wasn't overcrowded by students either. Spanish was the only language offered, but a low number of students filled the three classes. Art classes larger in size were busy making and displaying their ar­tistic skills.

Active Seniors Work For MHS

With many things to remember and lots of things to forget, the Senior class passed through their last year of high school. As the first few days of school passed by, comments were heard from Seniors saying, "I can't believe this is our last year!"

Then as the year progressed through the Senior play, trip, and money-making projects, the realization that this really was the last year of school hit us.

Even with mixed feelings of joy and sadness the Seniors of '75 were active. They held numerous offices in the many clubs and organizations at MHS. Ten Seniors served as club presidents and vice-presidents in every organization. Six others won national and state honors in their chosen fields. Margaret Dickey received national honors in her work in retail merchandising. Four Seniors were recognized for their FFA National Meat Judging Team.

Working More Like One Even before the swimming suits, tennis rackets, motorcycles, and bicycles could be put away, the Juniors began working to raise money. Their first venture, the water-balloon throw at the Striped Bass Festival, not only made a profit but proved to be a refreshing change from the afternoon heat. Next, they toted around boxes of candy and magazine subscriptions praying that anyone who wanted something would have the correct change. Then, they set out to show their pride and participation by building a float for the Homecoming Parade. Their float, a submarine launched with the theme "Pride Runs Deep", placed second. Second? Well, it wasn't their fault every can of purple paint in the area was sold. Besides, lavender isn't a bad color! Not satisfied, the Juniors decided the Country Store would be the most successful booth at the Halloween Carnival.

On May 2, the nignt they worked so long and hard for ainved. In tuxedos and formal evening gowns, corsages and fancy trimmings, the Juniors and Seniors enjoyed dinner at Paradise Cove, or Sand Springs Country Club, and, later that evening the band "U". For the first time they were together, not competing against each other.

Sophomores Have More Pride And Unity Being the largest class at Mannford High School in 1975 the Sophomores found themselves outnumbering everyone in all the organizations and activities. They were used to taking back seat to Senior and Junior Class seniority, but they made themselves heard in unity of number.

The Sophomores were a boost to the sports program with Sophomore girls placing some Junior and Senior girls off the main string lineups. Sophomore boys found the competition in sports more keen, but they passed through the year with valuable experience gained.

In a way the Sophomores had to learn more unity and pride in 1975 because they had more classmates to be proud of.

Freshmen Super In '75

On the opening day of school a Freshman walks into the halls of M.H.S. feeling a little nervous inside, after a few nerve-racking experiences and the usual initiations, he soon feels like a full fledged student at M.H.S.

The Freshmen of '75 passed through new challenges and experiences. As a class they struggled to put together their football homecoming float. Various Freshmen sport players learned the true meaning of sportmanship and teamwork. The class marriage booth at the school carnival earned $25.00 which helped deter graduation expenses. GRADUATION! the thought of knowing that they were leaving Junior High to pass through to High School, was a great thought to bring the year to an end.

A Step Ahead But A Step Behind Being a step ahead of seventh grade and a step behind ninth grade, did not cause the eighth graders to lose step as they worked their way to third place in the Homecoming float contest, plus an undefeated football team.

When asked how they felt about this school year, Reba Jobe said that winning third place in the float-judging contest really raised their spirit. "We worked really hard on it."

Shelly Casey felt that it gave great pride to all when the eighth grader's football team was undefeated. All eighth graders were unanimous in believing that they would have a great team next year.

Each seems to feel that in passing through each year of school they become more united. With this outlook, watch out for the Seniors of '79!

7th Grade Moving Forward Band, pep club, art, a competitive sports program, and a new science program made the first year of Junior High both interesting and exciting. As Waynet-ta Coston put it, "My classmates and I have had fun being together. We have worked on floats, planned carnivals, worked together, and learned together."

There is only one major complaint - the crowded halls. Being the youngest and the smallest, seventh graders often find themselves at a loss in the Battle of the Halls. Laurie Cook sums it up this way, "It 's like be­ing VWs against Mac trucks. They just push and shove their way through."

New Changes A££ect Faculty Nineteen Seventy-five was not a year for just passing through for the faculty of Mannford High School. New faces, new programs and new changes marked a year of work and achievement.

Five new faces were seen at the elementary school and nine at the Junior and Senior High, making a total of fourteen new teachers. Four of the new high school faculty were also coaches. This made a total of six on the coaching staff. One coach opened the door as junior high principal.

Many new programs started in '75. An Intermediate Science Curriculum Study was established for seventh and eighth graders. In the P.E. department weight-lifting was usually offered in the spring, but this year was offered as a year long course. For college bound students chemistry as well as physics was offered.

During the year there were a few changes involving faculty. The Vo-Ag teacher, Mr. Hugh Hardie, resigned in the middle of the year. Mr. Lilliard Brown came to fill the vacancy.

Aids Accelerate And Accomplish Action When the people of the administration bog down with the details of a hectic school day, they turn to teachers' aids and office aids who help to speed up and complete the tasks set before them.

Checking test papers, taking roll, typing class assignments, and pacifying loud-energetic students are only a few things each teacher's aid might find tossed in his path in a tormenting school day. Forty-five students became teachers' aids this year. Some of them wishing to gain experience in pursuring a teaching career while others just simply lacked a class to take or were unable to find a class they wanted at that hour of the day.

In addition to these school contributors, there are the diligent office aids. These people gather absentee slips, run errands, answer the telephone and manage to keep their cool when all these things must be accomplished at the same time.

In passing through this year, these student aids not only benefited teachers and fellow students; but, themselves in growing to be more fully aware of their needs and the needs of others.

School Board Works It Out Every year the school system expands with bigger, more expensive problems. Overpopulation, lack of funds, outraged parents, and pleas for change from faculty and students constantly haunted the school board members. Actions taken by the board were not always the most popular, but they were decided by careful decision and evaluation of the problems. Principals Leo Herrington, Robert Owsley, and Robert Bowers kept the school board informed of the immediate needs in the system. Together, they began a number of new projects, and solved some old problems.

Principals Keep It Together While the school board is solving administrative problems, the M.H.S. principals are improving their jobs of handling new faculty, student and school problems. One noticable change was the hiring of Robert Owsley as a Junior High principal thus leav­ing Mr. Bob Bowers more time to handle Senior High school problems. Across the road Mr. Leo Herrington still handles the grade school problems smoothly.

The job of a principal is one of scheduling and rescheduling events, complimenting and critizing, giving awards and giving licks. It is a job of varied responsibilities which the three Mann­ford principals handle well in '75.

population/57

Personnel Jobs Underrated

Several people work hard to keep a school operating smoothly. A school day would not begin or end without the efforts of the bus drivers, cafeteria cooks, office secretaries and custodians. Their jobs are long, tedious and necessary. Yet their efforts go unnoticed until un­done, then their importance grows in stature. Keeping the school clean, the buses running, providing nutritious meals, and keeping the records are all a part of being M.H.S. personnel. Perhaps because these workers do their jobs so well few students noticed their importance in '75.

Lou Jean Reigns Over Homecoming Events Spirited, exciting, and colorful are only ways to describe football homecoming 1974. A week full of events led up to the game. Some of the events spon­sored by the Pep Club were slave day, purple and gold day, and of course, the parade and pep rally in the town square on October 11.

That night the parade floats which classes and organizations struggled to finish by judging time that morning started the half time ceremonies. The weather was perfect for a football coronation. The crowd was spirited and anxious to see the corona­tion of the queen. Queen Lou Jean and her court appeared cool and calm about all the festivities on this, the most impressive night of football season.

But it had to come to an end. Too soon the ceremonies were over. A new M.H.S. queen was crowned and led to the sidelines. There the royalty sadly watched homecoming excitement, spirit and color fade as the Pirates went down in defeat to Oilton by one point.

Across the country cars were running out of gas, ther­mostats were being lowered, the industries began to slow down, but at Mannford High School, a "might purple machine" was being constructed. Head Coach David Atterberry drew up the plans, while Assistant Coach Dean Pierce set out to find potential football players. He wanted young men with "pride, guts, desire, heart, determination, and most important brains and ability." When he returned he was accompanied by thirty-seven individuals who met those qualifications.

Finally they were ready to build the machine, but only four weeks remained before the first test-Barnsdall.

Every game of the 1974-75 football season was a test. Every op­ponent wanted to win and all did their best to damage the Pirate machine. The season had its share of injuries, bad plays, and mis­takes but still it was a good season and showed a lot of hope for the future.

Little Pirates In A Big Sport Coming into the football season no one could have known how successful the Jr. Pirates would be. The eighth grade had previously won no games, and the ninth grade faced teams with greater size and more ex­perience than themselves. The odds were against them, but they wanted to win and they were determined they would.

The opening games with Berryhill went slowly with an eighth grade tie and a ninth grade defeat, but the Jr. Pirates were not discouraged. Still determined, they rallied their strength to sweep through an outstanding football season.

The eighth grade ended their season with a 5-0-1 record, allowing their opponents a total of six points as com­pared to their 108. To show their appreciation to Coach Ron Humphrey, they presented him with a football signed by each member of the team.

The ninth grade had a rougher season with a 3-3-2 record, but they were just as successful. Coach Roger Floyd had this to say about the ninth grade Pirates, "We set our goal for the season and tried to achieve it. During the season, I simply told the boys to play the best they could and hold their heads up. We didn't win all our games, but our boys gave everything they had in each game. No one ran over us. We stayed with all of them.

Everyone agreed they could hardly wait for next year, when the Pirates will be better than ever!

Basketball Team Selects Debbie As Queen "Spirit is made up of many parts, each of them as necessary as the parts of a basketball team. Spirit, to students at Mannford, it means unity, winning, enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and pride in purple, gold, and white." Such was theme of the 1975 basketball coronation of January 10. Representing the purple pride were three queen attendants and our 1975 basketball queen, Debbie Steward. Debbie was presented with the traditional bou­quet of purple and gold flowers and was given a crown symbolizing the pride the Pirates felt in both her and the team. All the girls, their escorts, members of the basketball team were chosen to represent the teams on the most im­portant night of basketball season. But Mannford Royalty faced two disappointing games, losing both to Fairfax teams.

Disappointing Season In 1975 Short in heighth. but possessing quickness and desire, the 1974-75 Pirate girls coached by Dean Pierce had a disap­pointing season. After suffering through many near wins and heart-breaking losses, the Pirates pulled together. Determined to be successful the Pirates left their mark on Perkins, Perry, and Pawnee. Despite their 3 wins, 19 losses record the girls made steady improvements. They gained valuable game experience as they laid the foundation for future Pirate seasons.

The 1975 basketball season was heightened by an over abundance of spirit by coaches, faculty, administration and students as they backed the teams. Set back after set back didn't hamper their spirit as individuals did their best to put together the team effort. Sophomore Leah Minton was named to the Cleveland All Tournament Team when she scored 46 points in 3 games. Seniors Deb­bie Steward and Lori Patrick made the Twin Rivers All Conference Team at the end of the 1974-75 season.

Season Ends With Road Game Losses Inexperience was the main problem that the Mannford Boys Basketball team had to face. They lost the first 3 games by a total of 15 points, then they put together two good ones by beating Oilton and Perkins (Both Oilton and Perkins were taller). In the Homecoming game with Fairfax the last 30 seconds took forever, because both teams had a chance to score and win. The Sperry game was definitely "the game." Playing 2 overtimes, the Pirates came out on top by 2 points. After beating Oilton and Yale, the season ended with five road games and 5 defeats. Ten people played a lot. There were only 2 returning starters from last year's line-up, but many returning letter-men, made up this year's team. All Conference players were Bill Morris with a 13.2 average and Mike Brashears with a 14. point average.

Junior High Boys Pulling Together To Pursue Goals

In passing through the basketball season, the freshmen boys found the key to reaching their goals was pulling together as a team. With a new coach and renewing spirit the team finished the season with a 3-13 record. Although the boys had their trials and tribulations during the season, through joint effort they continued to pursue their goals. Coach Humphrey felt that the most out­standing game played was against Shidler when they went into three over­times before winning 44 to 42.

Realizing the importance of teamwork, the eighth grade boys found practicing together the first step to a winning season. Losing only 4 of thier 13 games their constant quest to be better proved effective.

The innovative seventh grade basketball team lacked experience and skill but never ability as they soon familiarized themselves with what it takes to be a team.

With the passing of the season, all these boys tasted victory and the frustra­tion of defeat; yet, they continued to work as a harmonious unit, a team!

The boys on the freshman team are: (BACK ROW) Scott Boone. Jimmy Lawson, Steve Turner. Jeff Shad, Clint Mills, Ricky Woods. (FRONT ROW) Greg McKinney. Lee Marshall. Preston Box, Alfred Bernard, Ronnie Fenslage and Coach Humphrey. TOP LEFT: Clint Mills shoots for two points.

Junior High Girls Pass Through Challenging

Basketball Season A challenging basketball season began for the freshman girls when they succeeded in winning their first game in a scrimmage against Clyde-Boyd. Their winning streak soon faded but their unity and drive continued to keep their spirits high.

With a 5-12 record, the freshmen girls found each vic­tory reason to celebrate and each loss reason to strive to do better.

When questioned one freshman, Barbara McKaughan, felt that the best game played was against Cleveland when they came from seventeen points behind to win their final game of the season.

Although the girls found the season trying, it was also rewarding; especially when in the Fairfax game, the basketball fans literally stood behind the team.

The eighth grade girls met the competitive basketball season with growing spirit and improving teamwork. Although lacking adequate uniforms and playing ex­perience, these girls improved steadily passing through the basketball season with a 3-7 record.

Pirates End Trying Season It was a disappointing season for M.H.S. baseball fans who remember the winning season of last year. But with a 2-8 record in '75 and a young team losing only 4 Seniors, they have high hopes for next year.

By winning their first game of the season over Shidler, everyone expected a championship Pirate team two years in a row, but competition was keen. The Pirates piled up a seven game losing streak until they defeated Chouteau for their only other victory of the season.

Track Team Sets The Pace Individual efforts and teamwork helped the track team become record breaking winners in '75.

Individuals such as Junior Larry Mattingly and Senior Mike Brashears were top conference and district contendors from M.H.S. Their efforts with Eddie Bell's and Glenn Tyson's made the relay team take seventh place in the state and second place in the conference.

The female track athletes were not as outstanding as the males, but they were building in strength and experience as 10 girls went out for track this year while only, two girls were in track last year.

Four Chosen MHS Ideals Try selecting two M.H.S. students who exemplify the school spirit and pride, and you will find several can­didates. Or try to select two Junior High individuals who represent the total M.J.H.S. unity and spirit and you also have many outstanding students to choose from. But on April 17 and 18 M.H.S. and M.J.H.S. did just that. Four individuals noted for their spirit, pride, abilities and character were selected by student body vote to be the representative Mr. and Ms. M.H.S. and Mr. and Miss M.J.H.S.

Seniors Tom Floyd and Lori Patrick were announced the 1975 winners over Juniors Brian Langston and Cindy Shuck and Sophomores Kerry Murdock and Tammy Malicoate.

While 8th Graders Abe Sherwood and Leticha Marshall accepted their titles winning over 9th Graders Alfred Bernard and Cindy Reed and 7th Graders Tommy Turner and Lana Osborn.

Spanish Club Adds A Spark 0£ Mexico In the Spanish Club, Espano students soon found that they were not only learning a language but the whole lifestyle of someof our neighboring Spanish speaking nations.

Some of the Spanish Clubs' encounters with these un­ique customs included a trip to Casa Bonita, where both food and surroundings were definitely a spicy taste of Mexico, and a Christmas party, which con­sisted of everything from the bursting of a pinata to the singing of Spanish Christmas songs. Also in the early spring, the Spanish Club returned to Casa Bonita where Doctor Robert Diaz spoke on what it's like to live in Guadalajara.

Music With Style Band—the very word seems to bring to mind images of perfected matched un­iformed musicans performing at football half-time shows, but at MHS the im­age seemed slightly more tnan just a dream. Sure, they were musicians who practiced, practiced, practiced before school, during school and after school, but not in smartly dressed uniforms. So taking this into their hands they began to work, sweat and strive for those decorative coverings. The community was overrun by selling band members. They sold fruit, pastry, old clothes, furniture, anything they could sell for that cash.

Finally, after two year's work, all the band's efforts came to a happy ending when the new uniforms arrived in time for homecoming.

"Passing through" in style, the band was more than a well-dressed group. They practiced long and hard hours to perfect routines for marching and stage perfor­mances. All this practice paid off as they received a rating of on in inspection and a three in field marching at Henryetta and Bartlesville. They also marched off with second place in the Cushing Labor Day Parade.

Concert band, although not as popular as the marching band, was no less im­portant in '75. They also practiced long hours for their three community perfor­mances at the school carnival, the Christmas concert, and the spring concert. Then their efforts in the district concert band contest proved all the practice was worthwhile as they received a rating of 2. Even through countless hours of practice, work, selling, and performing, band members in '75 seem not to recall the efforts but the fun of being the "Band of Pirates."

FFA Wins National Honors For the 1974-75 Mannford FFA Chapter the year was filled with highlights and honors. The most thrilling highlight of the year was winning the National Meat Judging contest in October. With four team members taking the individual judging awards, Mannford walked away from Kansas City, Missouri with top honors. The Chapter also received the National Bronze Emblem Award for the Building Our American Communities Program.

Chapter members made several individual achievements during the year. Steve Meyer probably made the most achievements in the long list of FFA activities. He won the state public speaking contest, was the state reporter and was the state farmer from Mannford. Freshman Scott Boone was Greenhand of the year. Debbie Steward represented the Chapter as the Chapter Sweetheart.

With all these achievements it seems that the FFA members will have nothing to strive for next year, but that is not so with the up and coming FFA members of next year. They are looking forward to others areas of farming, leadership and citizenship improvement for themselves, their community and world.

This year the Select Group sang at such places as the Creek County Teacher's Meeting, school carnival. Striped Bass Festival, The Loyd E. Rader Evaluation Center, Shilder High School and Oilton High School. Then in March they go to contest. It takes about 3 months of practice.

Reviving the old tradition of presenting more acting on stage than just the Junior and Senior plays, Thespian members presented a one act play and three skits at the Christmas assembly. This led up to their annual production of the local talent show on April 4.

Fifteen new members were initiated into the club at a special dinner in the Cattle Rustlers restaurant in Tulsa. Then a club picnic in late May passed the year out.

Spirit Plus Pride Do you like to ride buses 2 and 3 hundred miles to see a ball game, or to stand in a rainstorm watching your team struggle? Or do you like yelling your lungs out at a pep assembly of 29 people? If the answers were yes, then you probable were a member of "Captain Hook's Gang" in 1975. Leading these 60 some odd members were the active officers Sandra Swift, president; Jo Ann Williams, vice-president; Kay Hix, secretary-treasurer, and Karen Flippo, activities chairman. Deciding to make a little money, the pep club sold sweaters. The worst part of the deal was that the members really had to wear them.

But pep club wasn't the only hard-working bunch. The cheerleaders got together and raised lots of spirit for the guys and gals. Camps, practices, and sore muscles were all a part of being a cheerleader. Together the pep club and cheerleaders made '75 pass through with spirit, pride, and unity.

Science Club Fills Busy Year Filling a school year with interesting science activities and speakers were the 1975 Science Club's objectives, and the club did just that. Members took six field trips to such places as Southwestern Oklahoma's Talamena Drive and to the International Science Engineering Fair in Oklahoma City. Two Science speakers from O.S.U. came to M.H.S. for club meetings. This year for the first time the club became a charter member of the Future Scientists of America. It has been a full year for the Science Club, but the members gain knowledge through their experiences.

F.H.A. Involves Fun And Work Striving to combine fun with work, 51 FHA members found themselves engulfed in various fund raising and community benefiting activities. In addition to their an­nual activities such as selecting a beau, going to the State Rally and planning their banquet, the FHA'ers filled their spare moments with plans and work for others besides themselves.

For the first time at M.H.S. FHA'ers opened a boutique of unique handmade items to raise money for their future endeavors. They also sold stationary to the Mannford community as part of the Muscular Distrophy fund drive. The FHA sponsored a Faculty Student basketball game with proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.

Then to help them find enjoyment within the organization and school, they planned an assembly to recognize their FHA as a national vocational organization. Channel 8 weatherman Don Woods was the speaker with his cartoon character Gusty. Then after the year was behind them, FHA members went off to Bell's Amusement Park in Tulsa enjoying the day as hard working individuals in a hard working organization.

M.H.S. Likes Penny's Style On April 25, an election for Miss Calendar Girl 1975 was held. Little did any one know, though, that Miss Calendar Girl would end up to be a Sophomore! The suspense of awaiting the decision of the student body vote ended at night when the twelve contestants were honored at a Calendar Girl dance sponsored by the Yearbook Staff. The crowd watched from the semi-filled stands to see Sophomore Penny Patrick (Miss September) announced as the new Miss Calendar Girl 1975. All candidates received an honorary corsage and the honor of being a pin-up girl for the 1974-75 school year calendar. Penny received a charm to remind her of the M.H.S. esteem in '75.

Pride Is. • A Better Newspaper With their eyes toward improvement 8 seniors, 3 juniors and one faculty advisor put together a new image for the newspaper. They wanted the paper to reflect the new staff and not just a traditional news sheet. The staff made several changes in their 10 issues.

The biggest change in the newspaper was its name. Instead of being known as the Pirate's Pride, they shortened it to just PRIDE.

More changes were seen in the new stories. More features and in-depth reports were presented with regular news stories.

Along with the changes in format and writing style the staff kept their money making traditions. They took orders and delivered flowers on Valentine's Day and sponsored the powder puff football game.

Down Final moments of the year seem to drag out until they are over, then it seems as though time flew by. It seemed like the month of May would never end.

Prom And

Parties Equal

12 Years, A Diploma And A Handshake Practice, practice, who would believe we would need so much practice for that long awaited night of gradua­tion. Who walks with whom at what time goes through your mind con­stantly. Then suddenly comes a strange thought. "I may never walk by this person in these halls again." Realization begins to dawn on all seniors when its your turn to walk across that stage and take that diploma that it's all over. Nothing will be the same ever again.

1. Receiving that diploma marked the final mo­ment of high school. 2. Deb Steward. Rick Hilton and Lesa Spiller contemplate their graduation. 3. Don Harness and Kay Hix also think about the serious aide of graduation. 4. While graduate Karen Jones smiles happily.

Passing Through Final '75 Moments As the 1975 Yearbook Staff completes the last minute details of putting this book together, we look back with a lot of memories. Like all M.H.S. students we remember the moments of the big school events and the daily routine school life, but we also recall the trials, tribulations and hilarious moments of putting these 124 pages together. With our problems of getting pictures, learning a new language with things called "mugs," "bleeds," "crop marks" and "picas" we learned about the work behind the scenes. The people behind the coronations, behind the play productions and musical; these people who sort out the problems so you see a neat, smooth event. And we see our part in this publica­tion.

The 1975 Pirate was printed by Walsworth Publishing Co., Marceline, Mo.

The cover was designed by art editor Glenn Tyson.

Photography, except for portraits by Beverly's Studio in Tulsa, was the work of all staff members at one time or another with special efforts by photography editor Linda Blakemore and one non-staff student Doug Taylor.

Debbie Danley. co-editor, was responsible for the copy and layout of the open­ing and closing sections.

The poem on page three was written especially for this yearbook by Junior Kim Carter.

Linda Braiser, co-editor, was responsible for the copy and layout of the academic section.

Diana Chailer, subscription editor, headed the sales of the 367 books sold.

Sheila Landers was business manager and senior class editor.

Other staff members who worked on all the other sections were Kim Ausbrook, Rob Boulton, Karen Flippo, Bernice McKaughan, Sherri McKinney, Ronnie Nance. Terri Sowersby. Gail Tinker and Karen Varnell.

Mrs. Brenda Krieg was advisor.
