Decorating brings pecial hin Special thoughts were given from one student to another by decorating halls, lockers, cars and windows. Juniors Kyndal Keyser and Jenni- fer O'Dell found an inner glow through decorating their home away from home with pictures and posters.-Photo by Kvle Kuyken- dall. h a t S P 9 C i al Illuluz i f e 9 1 i H E t h 3 t C 0 m 9 S ff 0 m 11:1 d O 1 n g S 0 m e thing special for someone, or doing it for yourself were the extra things that made an inner glow. From decorating halls, lockers, cars and windows, to making a happy birthday sign for a friend, these were a few ways that teachers and students made that glow. Before the Lawton foot- ball game, the Student Council sponsored a hall decorating contest between the grades. The rules were set and the students went off to make their hall the best. I didn't think that we were given enough time to really do a good job, but it was still a lot of fun! said sophomore Shelley Lewis. After the 7:00 p.m. dead- line, the teachers came in to judge. The seniors and their Patriot-Hall came in first place. One of the most common Student Life A Inner Glow times that the school was decorated was on game days. The halls were cov- ered with posters and good- luck wishes and cars and windows were also decorat- ed. Some people even went as far as to spray paint their hair blue and gold. To get the football team fired up for the Moore game the Student Council pro- vided posters to each home- room for everyone to sign. The posters were then hung in the locker room. Another form of inner glow was decorating lock- ers. Guys and girls alike decorated their lockers with pictures from maga- zines and posters. I put up pictures of men from 'GQ' and a mirror in my locker so it won't look so plain, said sophomore Shanda Simmons. Another special occasion that called for decorating was the holidays. During the Christmas season the art classes painted the win- dows. Also, on peopleis birthdays, friends often decorated a locker or put up a sign announcing the occa- sion. But perhaps the most forgotten form of inner glow were the ones done for yourself. Sometimes I would dress up because it makes me feel good to know thatl look nicef' said junior Dawn Lee. Other things that people did for themselves were things for self satisfaction. Sometimes when I am in a bad mood I will just go shopping and buy myself something. That's always a good way to break a depres- sion,', said junior April North. Some people tried hard to bring out an inner glow in themselves everyday. I try to always have a smile on my face because it makes other people smile and then everyone is happy! said sophomore Kim Dalington. These reasons and many others were the things that brought out an inner glow in people.-Copy by Freida Barrow.
