Ryan is a noun, derived from a member of fine class of ' 82. If ' s meaning varies in usage from person to person but is understood by most OHS students. Most everyone has their own tfieory about hiow thie practice of calling everyone a Ryan began. One boy says that one day a goofy looking guy walked by Mark Sims and Patrick Ryan. Sims said, Hey, Ryan as if the guy was Patrick ' s brother. It just stuck. Another classmate said it originated at football where the lineman were called Ryanmen. The easiest way to define a Ryan would be to give exam- ples: Mark Sims when he hol- lars at basketball game; Janet Bryant when she makes one of her usual goofy state- ments; Steve King when he misses a lay-up in a basket- ball game; Jane Sawyer when she acts like she doesn ' t know the answer to a ques- tion; Ben Bottcher when he asks you for a cert when he has half a pack in his pocket; etc. Also, Ryan may be used merely as an expression of good, bad, or indifference. Ryan originators Patnck Ryan, Ted Murphree. Steve King, and Mark Sims doir naturally Junior girls cluster together at break to sign the newly arrived yearDooKs
