Nurse Likes Job
With Students
When the word nurse Is
mentioned, moat people think
of a white dad lady
surrounded by charts,
medical supplies, and cots.
This picture does not
represent Mrs. Am Co*,
school nusrse far the past
four years.
“I really like my Job,
espedally working and
counseling with the
students," says Mrs. Cox.
Although her office is in the
Junior high, she is available
to the students of all ten
school buildings and the
School for the Handicapped.
Mrs. Co* tends to injuries
or health problems that may
arise. However, she cannot
administer any type of
medicine to students—not
even aspirin.
Mrs. Cox also administers
vision, hearing and scoliosis
screening within the school
sytem. The P.T.A. and other
volunteers aid her in this
process.
Serving as a resource
person for teachers, Mrs. Cox
has material available on
various health hazards and
preventions.
"The part of the job that 1
like best is working and
leaching in the classroom,”
she says.
Counseling with the
students consumes a con-
siderable amount of her time.
If a student has an emotional
or health problem, they may
talk with Mrs. Cox.
Instead of working in a
doctor’s office or on a
hospital ward; Mrs. Cox
prefers public health.
“I like preventive or public
health and feel that I can help
the students learn about
health care and how
important it is to stay
healthy,” she says.

Trooper
Editorial
Tells Class
Of Safety
Importance
Trooper Jack Green of the
Oklahoma Highway Patrol
visited the Driver’s
Education classes Wed-
nesday to give a lecture and
slide show on driving safety.
Trooper Green uses slides
of traffic accidents to em-
phasis the importance of safe
driving. Many slides shown
involved high school age
drivers, and the situations
which caused their wrecks
have a familiar ring to
students.
Trooper Green emphasis
the roles that alcohol and
drugs play in many accidents
of teen-age drivers.
“The main point I try to get
across to young drivers is the
responsibility that goes along
with a driver's license,” said
Green, “When I stop a 16 year
old, I treat him like an adult,
so he should treat driving
with adult responsibility.”
Trooper Green is a member
of the Safety Education
division of the OHP, and he
presents his safety program
to schools, clubs, and civic
groups.
He also presents a drug
abuse program using a
display van that was financ-
ned by the Elks Club Major
Projects Fund. He presents
this program to clubs and
groups throughout this area.
“1 don’t try to scare these
kids, just show them what
can happen if a person does
not respect the responsibility
of driving.”

Through the years, the school parking lots have
gone through many changes. The first of these changes
was parking permits, issued during the 1974-1975
school year. This procedure was inadequate because
students change cars too frequently. Also, it created an
excessive amount of paper work for office personnel.
Reckless driving in the parking lot in 1976
resulted in the installation of speed bumps. This illegal
driving is still a hazardous problem because of the
narrow thoroughfare, pedestrians, and other cars in
the lot, even though few students have been injured.
Upon a second offense, students are expelled from the
parking lot for recklessness.
The approximately 400 parking spaces
surrounding the school are barely sufficient for the
growing number of students driving to school. A new
asphalt parking lot near the tennis courts added 80
parking spaces but cannot be used presently because it
is reserved for band practice.
When spring arrives, the lot can be used to ac-
comodate the newly licenses sophomores.
Although action has been taken to increase
parking space, car pools formed by both students and
faculty would aid greatly and counteract further
problems.
Designated parking sections according to grade
and separate lot for the faculty should also be con-
sidered to lessen confusion.

The local citizens may be
wondering what all the noise
and ruckus was Friday
morning—all that yelling that
sounded like the battle of the
Alamo.
It was no war only the
Chieftains getting all revved
up at the pep assembly for the
first football game of the
year. The Rooters Club

Burning
Of George
Popular
USA CAVE
The 1978 football season
was officially kicked off last
Thursday night as students
gathered in the front parking
lot for the annual Burning of
George.
This year’s Burning of
George was well attended.
Many students and faculty
members came to boost spirit
<>f the Chieftain football team.
The event began with a pep
rally led by the varsity
cheerleaders. Spirit among
those who attended was high
and the time finally arrived
for what was to be the
highlight of the evening—The
Burning of George!
George, clad in colors of the
Bristow Pirates, the Chief-
tain’s rival for the Friday
night football game was set
aflame by football players,
Scott Brown, Brian Hen-
derson, Skip Inbody, and Joe
Vanatta. The crowd cheered
as George turned to ashes.
Each class, then presented
a short skit. These skits were
forecasts of the dreadful
things which would happen to
the Bristow Pirates that
following evening. After the
skits, everyone proceeded to
the courthouse for a final pep
rally.
The Burning of George
gave those who attended that
extra spark of spirit needed
for what is hoped to be a
successful football season at
Sapulpa.
Junior Play
Is Oct. 10
history department is Mr.
Frank Butcher. Mr. Butcher
joins the faculty after two
years of teaching experience
in Guam where he taught
eighth grade American
History and ninth grade
American Civics.
Before moving his
residence to near-by Tulsa,
Mr. Butcher completed his
higher education with a
bachelor’s degree in
secondary education from the
University of Oklahoma and
achieved a master’s degree
at Pepperdine University in
Southern California.
While in California, Mr.
Butcher worked in Oakland,
driving a truck hauling
military goods.
Mr. Butcher applied for a
teaching job in this region of
the United States because his
family enjoys fishing and
water sports.
While in Guam, Mr. But-
cher attained another per-
sonal objective, travel. He
toured the Far East, Hong
Kong, Singapore, and Japan.
History
Chairman
Appointed
The history department has
a new chairman, Mr. Neal
Blendon.
"We are very impressed
with Mr. Blendon’s
educational background and
willingness to teach,” reports
Principal Ronald James.
Mr. Blendon comes to
Sapulpa after spending the
last two years at the
University of Kansas as a
student teacher supervisor
while working on his Doctrine
of Curriculum and Instruc-
tion.
For eight years previous to
his studies at Kansas
University, Mr. Blendon
taught ninth grade social
studies in Arkansas City,
Kansas.
“I enjoy teaching in public
school systems, they give me
a chance to narrow myself
down to one field,” said Mr.
Blendon.
In searching for a teaching
position, Mr. Blendon
selected Sapulpa on the basis
of calculated terms.
“I wanted to go south of
where I was,” notes Mr.
Blendon, “and I wanted a
small town next to a
metropolitan area. I can
identify better with a small
town.”
Observing Sapulpa High
School, Mr. Blendon finds the
students and administration
likeable and supportive. “I
find only one new ad-
justment; no air con-
ditioning. In all the in-
stitutions where I have
taught, there was air con-
ditioning,” said Mr. Blendon.
Mr. Blendon and his wife
are making their residence
near Sapulpa and plan to
gradually see the sights and
acquaint themselves with the
city.
Golf occupies Mr. Blen-
don’s spare time.
“I enjoy golf very much
and plan to make the rounds
of area courses,” said Mr.
Blendon.
Tryouts for the traditional
junior play took place Sept 5
in the auditorium.
“Ask Any Girl,” a comedy
originally starring David
Niven and Shirley McClain
will be revived by Junior
actors. Presentation date is
Oct 10.
Mrs. Jeanne DeVilliers,
drama instructor and
director, cast nineteen roles
for the production; twelve
female, five male, and two
parts for either a girl or boy.
The cast includes: Harriett
Each year toward the end
of summer, the time just
before cool, crisp, fall
weather comes our way;
there is a stir of excitement in
the world of fall fashion.
The key word for this
year's fall fashions is
feminine. Gone are the bulky,
full, layered looks of last
year. Instead styles will be
less defined—not as tailored.
The main changed from
last year are wider
shouldered blazers and
blouses, narrower skirts and
straight-legged pants. The
latest trend in blazers are the
new, shorter, or cropped
length blazer which mixes
very well with the new
narrower skirt.
Dresses and skirts will be
seen much more this fall.
Skirts will have slits and
slashes at the front or side
and unbuttonings. Dresses
will take on a soft,
sophisticated image, done in
soft print materials and
vibrant solids. Skirt and
dress lengths remain long
and in cases are even longer
than last year.
Fashionable slacks look
great and can be worn for
practically any occasion.
Slacks this year are softly
pleated from the waistband,
tapered toward the ankle,
and shader to reveal more of
the shoe.
Blouses will have yolks,
fuller sleeves, and narrower
collars. The moot popular will
be the tuxedo shirt and the
big top.
Most of the materials for
the fall fashions are pure
wools, velveteen, tweed,
corduroy, and suede. The
popular colors for this season
will be khaki, dusty blues and
greys, stone, mushroom,
olive and taupe; however
these colors can be accented
with scarves or accessories in
brighter colors.
The most important aspect
of fall fashions for 1978 are
accessories. Accessories
used at their upmost and in
correct color coordination
will bring that special look all
together. Top off any outfit
with Jewelry; the more the
better.
Last year’s jewelry fashion
sensation, the stick pin will be
back on collars and lapels
this fall. Also, many
necklaces, worn together,
Redding as Meg, Steve
Lindsey plays Evan, and
Lincoln Brown as Miles.
Other actors are Denise
Moyer, Bo Rentz, lisa Long,
Serita Nation, Toni Broad-
dus, Emily Lamp tan, Cathy
Henderson, Kathy Phillips,
Janet McCoy, Tony
Freeman, Daniel Adams,
Tangie Johnson, Jeff
Washko, and Rissy Curley.
Mrs. DeVilliers selected Bo
Rentz, Donna Dowdy and Jeff
Washko as student directors.
ankle bracelets, bar pins and
scatter pins will be seen.
The newest fashion ac-
cessories are scarves knotted
at each end, men's neck ties,
and bow ties.
Other fashion accessory
musts are the vest, all types
of belts, and dressy felt hats.
Fur boas worn with dresses
or jackets will be fashionable
and make good conversation
pieces.
Finish any fall wardrobe
with a classy pair of shoes.
Shoes for this year are more
fashionable and stylish than
they ever have been. Styles
range from pretty, more
feminine higher heels to
mannish and flat to the
ground styles.
Indian
Counselor
Assigned
In her small refurbished
office, Ms. Jeannie Coffeey,
brings her new job as Indian
student counselor.
Ms. Coffeey, full-blood
Creek, has an extensive
background in Indian affairs.
Before coming to Sapulpa,
she was director of the Tulsa
Urban Indian Center for two
years. There she also
supervised an Indian adult
education program.
Also, she served as Man-
power counselor at the
Oklahoma City Human
Resource Center and taught
business courses at the
Okmulgee Opportunity
School.
“I have always taken an
interest in helping my
people,” says Ms. Coffeey.
She believes that Indian
students may relate better to
her because of the common
heritage and her main pur-
pose is to make these
students aware of the op-
portunities available to them
and to get them involved in
these programs.

Feminine Look
Is Fashion Key
By LISA CAVE
Chieftains Pop Pirates In Opener
Senior quarterback Scott
Brown ran around right end
for a 6-yard touchdown and
led Ms team to a 14-8 victory
over Bristow Friday night
The score ended in an 66
deadlock after regulation
time.
In overtime, each team is
given four plays from the 10-
yard line. The team that
scores or scores the most
wins. A flip of the coin
decides which team takes
offense first.
Sapulpa won the toea and
elected to take defense first
On the first play, the
Chieftain defense held
Bristow's Clint Pope for no
gain. On the second play
Bristow quarterback Mike
Shelton hit Ken Root with a
pass at the two. Halfback
Roger Cox ran up the middle
for a two foot gain before
Sapulpa, on fourth down,
stopped Pope cold at the one
foot line.
On the first offensive play,
quarterback Scott Brown
plowed up the middle for four
tough yards down to the six.
Then, on second down, Brown
went around the end for the
score.
After the game. Coach Art
Davis said, “TMs was a great
comeback and a tough one to
win. Bristow has a good
program. We had a hard time
getting started but we finally
did."
A sweaty Scott Brown,
ginning from ear to ear, said,
“We (the team) decided at
halftime we were going to
win. We were really down but
we fired up when the defense
held at the last of the game.”
Neither team scored in the
first quarter and penalities
and fumbles plagued both
offensive units.
Tony Holbrook, a junior
suffered an injury and did not
return to the game.
In the second quarter
Bristow scored in the last
nineteen seconds when
Shelton scored on a quar-
terback sneak from the two.
On the conversion, Bristow
faked a kick and Shelton hit
Turner for a two pointer to
give Ms team an 8-0 lead.
Neither team scored in the
third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Joe
Vanatta carried two defen-
ders into the end zone from
four yards out. Scott Brown
slipped around right end for
the two point conversion,
tying the score at 8-all.
The Chieftain’s defense
looked good at the end of the
game but did not fare well
against the pass.
The offense did well in
spurts but waited until the
very end to shine. In the
words of Coach Davis, “We
got it when we needed it.”
This Friday, the Chieftains
will host talented Mason at
8:00 p.m.
Thursday, the Sapulpa
Junior Varsity defeated
Kiefer 12-6 behind Stacy
Mathews’ 126 yards rushing
performance. Matthews
raced for a 78 yard touch-
down and Eric Scott went
seven yards for a score for
the Chieftains, while Leonard
Bell scored from 4 yards out
for the Kiefer Trojans.
