The Best Party Ever l
by She/in Vassar
The clouds were dark, but
a lot of kids spirits were
bright as we loaded two
buses at 5:15 Thursday for
an unforgettable trip. The
tornadoes did not scare us a
bit!
The bus ride to Oklahoma
City was like any other,
noisy. The basketball play- f
ers were on one bus while
the pep club, junior high kids
and others were on the other.
The buses arrived at
Shotgun Sam's Pizza Parlor
in Oklahoma City, and 96
excited P-T supporters piled
out for food and fun, Most of
the tables in the place were
reserved for us, and a sign
above the counter read: Give
Soon there were pizzas
and drinks for everyone.-
almost everyone that is --the
people at Ran Baker, Mark
Bunch and Tad Smalley's
table were starving to death.
There was music enough for
everyone, though. A musi-
cian took requests from the
P-T group, mostly for Willie
Nelson.
We left the Pizza parlor
and arrived at the beautiful
Ice Chalet a little before
eight o'clock. Everyone
brave enough got his skates
and started around the rails.
A few just made it around
once but some were soon
skating backwards. Mark
Bunch was pikcing it up
pretty fast until he split the
seat end of his pants out.
Mike Cameron only cracked
the ice in three different
thing, too, because a lot of
the people soon had wet
pants to dry Out. Kelly and
Tim started out looking real
cute in their matching shirts,
but at the end of the evening,
Kelly was wringing the water
out of her pants.
It was just about time for
our session to be over when
Mr. Madison finally decided
to give it a try. He bombed
out about seven times. That
would have been pretty good
except he was only on the ice
for three minutes. Of course
there were those that didn't
fall once the entire evening;
they didn't ever let go of the
rail.
We left Oklahoma City
about ten o'clock and arrived
at Perkins ready for more
action in the gym. There was
more food and a beautiful
eating again everyone joined
in many games of basketball.
The evening that will long
be remembered by many
people was too soon over. It
was 1:30 a.m. Everyone was
leaving the gym very sleepy
and sorel
There's never been any-
body like Ken Close before,
and there never will be.
Anybody who would or-
ganize and sponsor a trip like
this would have to be...
pretty great!IT
We'll never be able to
thank him, his wife, the
parents, the merchants, and
all the other people that
made this trip possible.

A good time was had

A poll of the basketball-
pep club party goers brought
on some interesting remarks
which we would like to share
with our readers. Ginger
Sadler I had a blast! It's the
first time I had ever been ice

fun, except when you fell

of us!!

Ttte electric heat pump heats, cools,
saves energy and money. That's right.
You get all four benefits with the
heat pump.
The heat pump operates like a central
air conditioner. The difference is
that it also heats your home...very
efficiently.
The cost of energy has increased, but
even now the rate you pay for OGE
electric service is still arhong the lowest
in the nation
Electricity has done a lot toward making
life more comfortable and prosperous
for all of us in many ways. And, now
the electric heat pump can be used to
heat and cool homes to save us energy
and money.
The heat pump is something to think
about for your home.

March winds signal the start of the

fun, but kite flying is not as safe as it
looks. A kite string can be a deadly

catch on a power/the, let go at once.
Don't pull/
• And, you should a/ways use dry,
cotton string- never use wire or
metallic string. Don't use metal in
the construction of your kite, since
metal conducts electricity and can
be dangerous.
• You should a/so pick a spot away
from busy roads and highways.
• For safety's sake, fly kites only in
the wide open spaces, safely away
from power fines and highways.
