homecoming was a rousing success.
Robin Hall was crowned home-
coming queen by king James Wilkes
in impressive pre-game ceremonies.
The game ball came floating in via
the Oklahoma Parachute Center out
of Cushing. The jump was spon-
sored by the yearbook staff. And,
the Midnight Regiment teamed up
with the alumni band for an out-
standing halftime performadce. The i
combined groups drew a standing
ovation following their final num-
ber, the traditional "You'll Never
Walk Alone," which was played this
year in memory of the late Carol
Wall.
The positive things that came
from the shellacking by Jones that
lowered the Perkins-Tryon Demons
season record to 0-5 and 0-2 overall,
include:
"Not suffering any serious in-
juries that will keep anybody from
playing at Newcastle, and getting
some positive playing time for some
of younger kids," said Gray.
"The only injury we had in the
"Freshman Brad Kastl got to
play a lot and we started freshman
Roland Bastianelli at linebacker.
=They all gave us some positive
playing time."
Perkins-Tryon is simply caught
up in the numbers game.
"We don't have that many players
out. We had injuries and a scholas-
tic casualty for Jones," Gray con-
tinued.
"we weren't able to practice the
injured during the week. We vre
just trying to get them healthy.
Without the benefit of a week's
practices, we struggled. And, our
backups are freshmen who are
trying hard and gaining experience
but lack strength and size.
"We missed a lot of tackles. We
were putting an arm on a runner
instead of a pad.
"We started the game without
one-half (Jeff McClellan and Pete
Sweger) of our starting backfield
and then lost our quarterback. Jones
was keying on our leading rasher,

fumbles, losing five, had a pass
picked off and a punt blocked for
a safety.
Perkins-Tryon fumbled away the
ball on the first play of the game.
Jones scored in five pI,ws with
senior David Martin getting the six
points from oue-yard out and superb
junior running hack Telly Oatewood
kicking the extra point.
The Demons were three and out
after the ensuing kickoff. Martin
fumbled Bale punt forward 14
yards, recovering at the P-T 37.
Five plays later, Gatewood scored
from the 11. He also converted.
On P-T's next possession, Gate-
va3od scooped up a Demon fum-
ble, returning it 46 yards for an-
other touchdown. His conversion
kick made it 21-0 with 2:37 left in
the first period. The issue had been
decided, early.

P-T board discusses auction,

Journal Editor
The Perkins-Tryon Board of
Education looked at Saturday's land
auction, heard the fruitless quest (so
far) of a patron, voted to change
health-dental carrier and approved a
pair of out of town trips for the FFA
and band during a routine board
meeting Monday night.
Superintendent of Schools Jim
Hyder called the board's attention
to the auction Saturday of 50 acres
of "surplus land. C.D. Mihura has
agreed to be the auctioneer at no
cost to the school district."
The sale of the laud came up
at the September meeting when
Cimarron Golf, Inc. asked to pur-
chase the land. There was con-
flict of interested with at least twu
board members being associated
with Cimarron Golf which is in
the process of building an nine-hole
golf course north of tem. The golf
association was interested in pur-
chasing the land to build a driving
range and putting greea. The board
voted at a special meeting later in
the month to put the land up for auc-
tion.
Hyder said he expected to have
the final appraisal of the land
00emy.

"I talked to the county commis-
sioners and they said they don't
have any money to fix the bridges.
Without an additional sales tax,
them is only money to fix one
bridge a year."
Hyder said he was aware of the
problem and "we are facing the
same situation in Payne County. We
have been assured that when money
is released or becomes available
then something would be done."

. The board also apwoved a trip for
the FFA to the National Meats and
Contest and Festival.
Tracy Farmer, representing the
Perkins Youth and Sports Organiza-
tion, made the group's annual re-
quest for the elementary and mid-
dle school gynmasinsms to be used
by PYSO when not being used for
school activities. Farmer is working
with Hyder on gymnasium avail-
ability and practice times.
Hyder also brought up an idea
being considered by the yearbook
staff.

=It's still in the plning stage,"
Clark said Wednesday afternoon.
"We wanted something for adults
to do after the other activities have
concluded. It's an idea to make it
a full day of fun for everybody and
not end it in the early afternoon.
"The first step was to get the
council's permission to block off
the street, from Second to Third
on Stumbo, prior to completing the
plans," said Clark.
The City Council agreed to the
idea of • street dance with stipu-
latices: The dance could be held
from 2-9 p.m.; Pardners had to get
written permission from the resi-
dents involved; Pardners would be
responsible for cleanup following
the dance; and no alcoholic bever-
ages would be permitted.
In other business items:
..... Lany Wasson of TLT Paving
Company asked for a demonstration
ou a new road surface to help the
city fill cracks and potholes. The
product will seal the roadway and
help maintain the streets after the
initial treatment;
..... Ray "lrlton, who purchased
the property at 217 E. Hurt,
asked for a water deposit and
monthly charge of $7.05 be waved
as the structure would not be
occupied. The council instructed
City Attorney Roger McMillian
to check ordnances before taking
action;
.... Larry Moorman reported the
=two-inch water line on the west

"we would have two yearbooks.
One would be softcover for the ele-
mentary school students in Perkins
and Tryon, and the usual hard-
cover one for the middle and high
schools. The cost of each book
would be reduced by making the
change," Hyder said.
Hyder also prepared • policy
for "religions observations and dis-
plays" for the board's considera-
tion.
School counselors gave a brief
report on the ITBS test scores which
