Dena Kirby Linda Parrack
Girls State Selection Made
DENA CHOSEN FOR
GIRLS STATE
"You're kidding," laugh-
ed Dena Kirby, "I didn't
think I would get it," when
she was told she won Girls
State.
Dena is active in concert
band, jazz band, FHA, Pep
Club, Student Council, and,
enjoys playing the piano and
reading books. Dena has had
many honors such as State
Honor Society, Superintend-
ent's Honor Roll, Band
Attendant for 2 years,
Student Council Representa-
tive 3 years, FHA Devotional
Leader, Band President,
Who's Who "Most Talent-
ed" 2 years, and was elected
as the new FHA president
for next year.
Since Dena will be
learning about state govern-
ment and some of the
different branches at Girls
State, we asked her how she
felt about women and
politics. She thinks women
should hold offices, even as
high as President, providing
they are qualified. She also
supports the Equal Rights
Amendment.
Dena's most exciting
moment is winning State
Stage Band after being cut
off in the middle of their last
song.
Her future plans are to
attend college and major in
psychology.

The juniors did a lovely job
of decorating. Little plastic
umbrellas held the nuts and
mints and the party favors

three inches high.
Greg Baker was the
toastmaster for the ceremon-
ies. Jennifer Dodrill gave the
Welcome with Roy Layes

Special guests of the
banquet included the Super.

board members,, class par-
ents, photographer, and the

The prom followed the
banquet. The band playing
was the "Fugitives." The

was punch available for
everyone.
Pictures of dates or groups
were taken in a beautiful
"Gazebo" setting by Mr.
Acuff.
Everyone seemed to have
a good time except some of
the sponsors felt the music
was a little loud for them.
The seniors wish to thank
the juniors for a lovely dinner
and to congratulate them for
a fantastic job.

To represent Okla[
An exhausted but happy
group of FFAers returned
from the Oklahoma Inter-
scholastics Saturday night
with two state titles and the
fight of the two teams to
represent Oklahoma in the
Nationals in Kansas City in
the fall and a fifth place dairy
team and ninth place shop
team.
The livestock team, which
missed the same title last
year by only 6 points, got
their revenge this year by
outdistancing their nearest
competitor, Guthrie, by 28
points. Members of the team
are Randy Bostian, who was
high point man in the entire
contest; Guy Rose, who was
fourth; Pecos Bridenstine,
and Clay Bridenstine. Clay
and Randy are seniors and
Guy and Pecos, juniors.
Their winning was certainly
not by accident as they had
won 6 out of their.last 7 state
and multi-state contests.
The third P-T meats team
to win the Oklahoma title in
the last three years was
made up of Sophomore
Cindy Chesney, third high
individual; Glen Grader, a
junior, Rodney Wilson, a
freshman; Andy Schroeder,
who won 5th in the entire
contest and is a freshman;
and Scott Taylor, who judged
as an individual and won 4th
in the entire contest.
"We went up there to win,
and that is what we did,"
was the_modest remark of
one of the judges. Mr.
Evans was a bit more vocal
when he said, "When a
group of kids give up their
week ends, spend two or
three nights in the packing
plants every week for two
months, wade around ankle
deep in barnyards, and
spend their own money
going to contests and field
days to get experience, they
deserve to win. "And," he
continued, "these kids had
remarkable attitudes. I have
yet to hear one gripe out of
the whole lot of them even
!though the going got pretty
irough a t times. I also can't
give enough credit to
Crane's Packing Plant, Del
Mar's Grocery, Cupid's
Meat Market, the Perkins Y
Sale and countless farmers
who let us set up classes in
their private herds."
Another first for P-T is a
farms structures team plac-
ing in the top 10% of the
state contest. "David Am-
rine, Keith Tarlton, Troy
Cundiff, and Mark Grant
really came through for us on
this team and we are
extremely proud of them,"
smiled Mr. Jennings.
The Dairy Team "of Junior,
Jennifer Dodrill and three
Sophomores, Jerry Ander-
son, Gladys Anderson, and
Kelley Taylor placed 7th
overall in the contest. 'Tin
very proud of this young
team," stated Mr. Jennings.
"This is the first dairy team
from P-T to place in the top
group at the interscholastics.
The P-T Shop team
composed of Seniors Randy
Fowble and Wendall Byram
and Junior Mark Anderson,
also placed in the top,
coming in llth in the entire
contest." These
