Breaking the ice and reaching out can end up making dreams. s a teenager, ev- ery new day brought new experiences. New acquaint- ances were made, and many events took place that had never been encountered before. Joining clubs, going to parties, or just hanging out, many students made new friends. The best way for me to meet people is by go- ing to parties and get to- gethersf' said junior Lor- inda Banks. Another way for students to meet others was at the dances held after football and basketball games. The attendance at the dances 'Hifi-: ' 3 A 12, Student Life - Ice Breakers was awesome! I had the best times at them. It didn't matter whether we had won or lost the game, said Chad Sanders, sophomore. With so many students no one could meet every- one. By getting out and try- ing to get involved the number of strangers around was diminished. The fact that they tried and all of us were together as Patriots after the games made it really special, said junior Angie Miller. First dates could really shake someone up. When the guy pulled up at a girls house and she's only half- way ready it was by embar- rassing for both of them. On my first date nothing went right, said Susan Sheely, sophomore. I was so nervous! she added. When a dream finally be- came a reality, all the things that had been worked for finally paid off. First dates weren't the only new experiences. The resurrection of O.J. brought a revival within the school. Also, for some, not being able to be somewhere could do mysterious things to their minds. I wasn't able to go to the Moore football game. All evening long I was wondering how our guys were doing, said Mary O'Toole, senior. - Copy by Tiffany Brauer. :ES fsgs. ,. -Sl ass gg.. ei -P i , 4. i .., me xy Q - x ' . 'ff NNN , ..

Student Life - Sweet Revenge fter falling to Putnam City 27 - 0 last year, many football players swore to themselves even this year. And they did. Last year's P.C. game was a tough one, said senior football player Kevin Mercer, it was a down year for us. We thought they were a good team, but not good enough to beat us that bad. We just couldn't get it together. This is my senior year, and one of the things I wanted to do was beat P.C. Players weren't the only ones who sought a 'sweet revenge'. Students found themselves decorating their cars, street signs and any- thing else they could fit a they'd get i w 1 1 1
