After choosing an off- campus lunch, a group of students re- turn to afternoon classes. -Aww ,. ,yu 4- ,f ., ..........-.-nu1 N Elin No Reason to Cutsicle Life's between the walls. The building has very few windows. Although the sun doesn't shine through the windows, it shines through the students. lt's all right here - friends, sports, jobs, music - everything on the outside is here on the inside. After the first shock of high school life, the years follow- ing are more acceptable and easier to handle. It also gets much harder as students re- tum to school for another day of tougher education and another year of new require- ments. Education is more than just going to classes. Sharing, caring and dedication also helped learning. Students GIVING A LITTLE ASSISTANCE. Mrs. Evelyn Mclvlillian and Katrina Davis help Darla Shinault with an Algebra ll assignment. and teachers shared some of the best memories of their lives - secrets, good times, and bad times. lt's the days that counted as students, ranging from 4 ft. 2 inch freshmen to 6 ft. 4 inch sen- iors, pass through the halls going and coming from one end to the other. Walking from the east end to the west end several times a day, students passed class- rooms that held life inside. The life inside was just like life outside - entertainment in theatre, music and art: food preparation and fashion design in the Home Econom- ics department, furniture construction in wood shop: publications and even the drudgery of a workday in the routine of academic classesl Like the world outside, the world inside held relief from the routine. Every weekend something was happening -- football games, basketball games, wrestling matches, swim meets, dances, con- certs or just hanging around. No matter how impatient students were to leave the in- side ofthe building at the end of day or to graduate, they know that there really isn't any reason to look outside for the most important part off life right now. 1 I H3 H A YIM J A Aw No,the fun doesn't end with summer. Students' lives go on into their fresh- man, sophomore, junior and senior years. Trying to define high school life could be impossible. So the best way to go about doing it was to come inside and experience it. If students never could find anything to do, it was because they were looking in the wrong direction. From the first school dance of the year to coming to see talented perfonners in the school play, students had something to do. Some students had many things to tend to after a long day of schoolwork. Some stu- dents go to work, some stay after school for deten- tion as well as sports, clubs, newspaper and year- book. After all the first day jit- ters, blood pressures come dovm, fevers and pulse re- main normal. Students snuggling into permanent Student Life Divider seats and receiving new books became a common sight. Now that the every- day thought of coming to school and going to class is accepted by the brain. Ex- citement is gone and the routine of coming to school has settled in. Taking the first step out of bed started the day of what would be- c o m e a great educa- tional exper- ience. S p i r i t week is the most excit- ing part of the begin- ning of the y e a r .

The enthusiasm that came with the thought of the end of the school made the students want to rush right through the last few weeks of the year. N g W N jj'X r ifgix-w r?

Seniors Jennifer Scott, Mary Bingham and Heather Bond stop to help Keny Elliott and Christi Holloway remember their locker combination. Seniors 6 Beginning the End tep aside for the seniors! This is finally IT! These expres- sions and many' more filled the halls on the first week of the last year of their high school days. Most seniors were overwhelmed with the thought of being on top. Mary Bing- ham said she felt be- ing a senior was Omnipotent! In spite of the ex- citement plans for graduation activities were yet to be made. In early October planning began for the 1987 prom. Board meetings were held every other Monday during homeroom to begin organizing. Organiz- ing meant finding a place, raising mon- ey, and thinking of a theme. Others had their minds on after grad- uation thoughts. Many seniors attend- ed sessions with re- presentatives from colleges. Seniors Shawn Jones said, I plan to go into Aero- space engineering with the Air Force. Jennifer Scott, president of Student Council, said, The activities and tradi- tions of Central seem more impor- tant as a senior. The seniors added school spirit to the student body. Said Sharonda Dennard, When you become a Brave you got to have the Brave spirit! You must have school pride so oth- ers will respect your When you become a Brave you got to have the Brave Spirit. Sharonda Dennard school! G r a d e s w e r e equally important. Six new members were added to the list of approximately seventeen second or third year NI-IS mem- bers. Being a senior is exciting but grades are important and should not be neglected, said Tn- cia Cox. Senior spirit was something most sen- iors couIdn't ex- plain, but once they caught it they had it for good. OF THE SENIOR REALM. Senior class ofli- cers Mary Bingham, Susan Owensby, Lance Ilix, and Lisa Blevins meet with sponsor Mrs. Barbara Elton to prepare for a board meeting.

Now that the ex- citement of seeing friends was over, the reality set in. Most students were realiz- ing that summer days were gone and for the next nine months, they would be in classrooms. Change this schedule or l'll die, was a familiar cry heard throughout the building. Stacks of schedule change cards were collected every hour. Counsel- ors' offices were filled with impatient, CATCHING SOME ZZZ'S. Paul O Farrill sleeps Mon- day morning away in Mrs. Eileen Simmons' junior English class. 8 Second day of school unhappy students. Others found a few minutes in the back of the classroom to catch up on their sleep. After three months of sleeping late, getting up in time of school was not easy. The worst thing about coming back to school is waking up, Betty Hamilton said. Because of the freedom of invading the refrigerator on summer mornings, most students could barely wait for lunch. UI also miss my breakfast, Betty said. Finding out what the new school year will be like is exciting at first. Freshmen were especially cur- ious about their first year of high school. 'The most exciting part of going back to school is making new friends and find- ing out what high school is really like, The second day of school is like a meeting with one person - slow and boring. Sheila Starr Angela Ferguson said. But once the reali- ty set in, the count- domm to the last day of school began. To many the first week- end was looked for- ward to with great anticipation. But soon the routine was so normal that sum- mer seemed part of a distant past.

The all-school musical Oklaho- ma starred Brandy Jenkins and Heather Lindsay in the lead roles of Curly and Laurey. Brandy's fa- ther had played the same role in a Cen- tral production twen- ty years before. That's one reason I really wanted the part, Brandy said. In a ceremony as traditional as the coronation of Miss Central, Frank Cre- min was croumed King Daze. The theme of the annual 10 Spring, 1986 talent show was Broadway Daze. Seniors, however, were concentrating on their ovm gradu- ation and post- graduation plans. The prom ended many weeks of prep- aration for the event held at the Execel- sior Hotel May 25. Seniors and their dates danced away the Starry, Starry Night. Finally, THE DAY anived. Graduation. On June 2, seniors gathered at the Per- forming Arts Center for the ceremonies marking the end of their high school ca- reer. The seniors walked across the stage to receive their Playing the part was veijy special to me.

Taking a test the last hour of the last day of school was not ex- actly anyone's idea of a way to start the summer, but it hap- pened. Finally on June 5 at 2:45 p.m. another school year was over. Students and teachers breathed a sigh of relief and headed into three months of a break from school. 9 O O,Q.. O 9 '39 TAKING BOWS.

A change in the dress code last year permitted students to wear shorts and they did, even through some chilly weather during early and late September. Junior Harley Procell said, We got more use out of our sum- mer wardrobe. During September, students switched back and forth be- tween their summer and fall wardrobes. The early part of the JAMS. Sophomore Marchel Friday models the latest in shorts, thejams, on a warm day. month was cold, but the middle of the month felt like a re- tum to August. Late September was the big change. Rain, rain, and more rain continued for two weeks. One Wednesday the bus parking lot was knee deep with water and buses couldn't run. School went on but the classrooms were mostly empty. School was more fun that day. The teachers were in a better mood be- cause they had fewer people to yell at and in some classes we got to goof off, Dan- ny Copeland said. On the weekend of October 5, Tulsa, es- pecially west Tulsa, flooded. Some stu- dents were ordered to evacuate their homes. A few were even involved in the flood, losing homes, clothes, and person- al items. The River- side area was closed to traffic through the whole weekend. The Central building be- came one of the shelters that were set up all over the city. Wendy Birley came to the building to We got more use out of our summer wardrobe. Harley Procell help the flood vic- tims who stayed ovemight. I helped entertain little kids. A guy did a magic show and we helped him blow up bal- loons. The atmo- sphere was not as depressing as I thought it would be. Most people just seemed to accept what was happen- ing. As the flood waters receded, things re- turned to normal. The 80 degree weather left, cool fall weather came and the ban on shorts re- sumed on October 1. N-if AIRCONDITIONING RAND SHORTS.

Freshmen Jessica Blythe and Polly James discuss their opinions on shorts after school in the lower commons. i S -Q'-Zum, he bell rings if and students rush into the hall. Five minute pass- ing periods are the most exciting time of most students' day. Wh en th e time comes to go to pass to class, that is rare- ly what happens. These tive minutes allow just enough time to talk with fiiends, pass notes, or steal a kiss. Students move from class to class at a hundred different paces in a hundred different directions. But all of them like TIME OUT. Dana Jordon and Lisa Bauer take a few minutes between classes to talk about the days events and get books for their next hour class. 14 Passing Period to spend the time do- ing something be- sides just going to class. A few spend time pledging their love to their sweethearts, while some make goo goo eyes at pro- spective sweet- hearts. Laura McKenzie said that her favorite part of passing period is talking to guys. Another favorite way to spend time, said Mary Aguirre, is talking to friends. Talking to friends takes place all over the building. Even thou h the bath- Q 52 gn? 'u 2215 JH .. ,, , rooms are so crowd- ed that students must hold their breath to get inside, it's a good place to catch up in the day's hot gossip. Some talk while others spend their time in the mirror trying to look their best. Most girls carry on what should be a two hour conversation in ap- proximately 5.5 min- utes. A few wise stu- dents spend their time getting materi- als for their next class. These are the ones who usually get caught up in the rush and end up at the opposite side of E ii? aw-ii W it My favorite part of passing period is talking to guys. Laura McKenzie . the building. If one is not aware the flow of the crowd will take them to unknomm places. These con- scientious students are the ones that are late to class while the gossipers always get there on time. As the few stu- dents who are tardy desert the halls, things become very still. The sights and sounds rest for 55 minutes but another passing period soon arrives and brings with it more exciting moments for stu- dents. A QUICK PEEK AT FAVOR- ITE STARS.

On that Monday, the alarm goes off. It's light outside in- stead of the usual dark. They jump out of the bed at 6:00, thinking ,it's 7:00. They run around rushing to put their clothes on, choking down their half-done breakfast, knowing that the bus is com- ing in fifteen min- utes. Finally they leave, running dovm the street dropping books on the way. But the bus stop is deserted. l'lobody's there. Then it hits them. They forgot to set their clock back. At first, it was nice to get an extra .-ft hour's sleep. But the final adjustment to a new time takes a week or so. Fresh- man Traci Case said, I felt better with the extra hour of sleep that I got fro m th e tim e change. For other students it's forget- ting to set the clock back, being late for everything, and get- ting adjusted takes even longer. Changing Time 17 IiU,'Zl7Fi ll IIIIHAI ' Al' I v . - luumjgi eturning to school was full of sur- prises. On the first day of school, students went to the book- store asking for lock- er cards. They were told they'd receive an assigned locker in - another surprise - homeroom. We used to be able to have a locker by our friends, but now we have lockers 18 Lockers by people we don't know, said senior Denise Stephens. Some students complained that their lockers were on one floor, while the majority of their classes were on an- other. l wanted to choose a locker near all of my classes, said junior Robbin Home. Assigned or cho- sen lockers, the stu- dents never changed the types of locker decorations that have always existed. Wishing friends Happy Birthday with locker decora- tions and surprises was a favorite way of decorating lockers. One way around the assigned locker policy was to share a locker with a friend. The major advan- tage, of course, was that students could keep their books and PHILOSOPHY POSTERS. Senior Heather Bond's lock- er expresses her personal philosophy. She visits with sophomore Ward Jones be- UNCCU aftCI'YI00l l classes. I wanted to choose a locker near my classes. Robbin Homi, materials near their classes. Two sets of books took up twice as much room. Add to that two people in a hurry who just throw their stuff in and run meant a messy locker.

No one was em- barrassed to show their nerdy fashions. The nerdiest couple of all were Melissa Woodrow and Les Cromer. Melissa said, l liked acting crazy. We all had fun. We got a lot of atten- tion when we went to Ted's for lunch. Most students were suprised to find out that being a nerd can really be a lot fun. Nerd day was a big success. SUPER NERD.

Most of us would run straight to our clos- est friend. Friends make high school life what it should be. Sharing everything from se- crets to clothing - it's all a part of high school life. Some even plan to go to the same college or move into an apart- ment together after graduation. Friends can be just alike or completely different. Both kinds are seen quite often. Mary Crear and Lisa Blevins are both sen- iors, which is the one thing they have in common. But still they are the best of friends. l think that the differences be- tween us make our friendship more ex- citing. Many people don't understand how we can be so close but it doesn't stop our friendship for a minute, Lisa said. An example of friends who are alike are Shannon Mays and Angie Welch.

He made all three. Elected in Febru- ary to meet the year- book deadline, he had to wait until April to find out. The suspense is the worst part. I think we should be told as soon as they know. All of us have to memorize the parts. If we're not e l e c t e d , w e shouldn't have to do the extra work. Miss Central knows - King Daze has to suf- fer, Shannon said.

Groups of friends usually stand out- side before the mov- ie starts to get the first look at mem- bers of the opposite sex.

I feel kinda nervous on stage but at the same time I enjoy what I am do- ing, she said. Being in a produc- tion means hard work. Play practices were held some- times at 7:00 p.m. and weren't over un- til at least 9:00 p.m. It meant losing free time. To most drama students the hard work pays off on the night of the perfor- mance. After I got over the stage fright, I felt really good when the audience cheered for me. It gave me a boost and made me feel very lt's something I enjoy. Adreena Flowers confident, Danny Clark said. The advice young performers have for those who are inter- ested in acting is to go for it. Stick in there and don't let people intimidate you.

Coming to school wearing the Guess overalls that were just purchased the day before is a wonderful feeling. Everybody notices the new clothes. Compli- ments are heard as she strolls the halls. Guys that never even say Hi whis- tle. She's really feeling good. Then, climbing the stairs going to first hour the wear- er of the new clothes bumps shoulders with an- other person dressed in the exactly same attire. Walking past one another the two blush with embar- rassment and try to say something nice. Hairstyles, shoes, and the amount of jewelry around a person's neck also set individuals apart from the crowd. Guys wore crew cuts, mohicans, mo- hawks and box cuts. Some even wore long hair. Girls cut their hair in bobs, or short in the back and long on top, curled it and pressed it - all in an attempt to be different. The want and need of be- ing noticed in a crowd con- sisted of the quality and carat of gold, a great look- ing outfit that h a s b e e n wom by no one, and a e x p e n s i v e eye catching pair of shoes. Students may have attempted to look dif- ferent, but they shared many things - red and white clothes, fun at sport events, hard work in classes, school spirit, and after graduation or after school plans. Those shared things gave students No Reason to Look Outside. ly in English.

Junior Traci Frazier's parents came to get her report card on that cold Monday night. My mom got the let- ter a long time ago and put it on her calendar. I was scared because I wanted to know first if I got bad grades. I didn't come because if I did get bad grades, I didn't want to get a dirty look in public. I stayed home and watched TV, but I kept thinking about my parents get- ting my report cards. ' When my mom came home, the first thing she said was 'Why did you get a C in chemistry?'

Although seniors had filled out their di- ploma name cards the third week of school, the two days they spent together as un- derclassmen struggled to take their SRA tests brought closer the re- ality of graduation. During those two days, members of the class of '87 discussed where the prom would be held and how much money was made dur- ing the year. Finally they got around to or- dering graduation an- nouncements. Before they could or- der, seniors had to de- cide which relatives were going to get an- nouncements so the seniors could get gifts. Graduation would not be graduation with- out the accessories like class keys and ex- tra tassels. Senior counselor Mr. James Hunt and class sponsor Mrs. Barbara Elton answered ques- tions like, Can we or- der any other time? and Will the senior keys come back before the announcements? All this ordering caused severe pain in GRADUATION PRESENCES.

When I got to Central, the first thing I noticed was how dressed up everybody was. The girls wore dresses and heels instead of tennis shoes, jeans and T- shirts. I had wom ten- nis shoes, jeans and a T-shirt and I felt really out of place. My mom and I went shopping that night and bought some in- style clothes, Tracci said.

Typical senior Ter- rence Jones walks past the auditorium to his first hour class. eniority reigns Seniors enjoy one-year superiority Seniority. That's what was ex- pected from seniors. Considering them- selves top dogs, typical seniors expected to be first in line. Seniors cut in front of the under- classmen in the cafete- ria. They were the first on the bus, shoving sophomores and freshmen out of the way. That's just one way seniors tormented un- derclassmen. A senior would grab an unsuspecting junior around the neck, shake him and push him against a wall. Then the senior contin- ued on his way to class like nothing has hap- pened. Another thing that set seniors apart from underclassmen was their bragging. Of course, seniors thought they had something to brag about. The Class of '87 won the spirit drum twice - once their sophomore year and again during their sen- ior year. b Weekends were made for having fun. Friday nights were for going to the games cheering the team on to victory and alter- wards going for a pizza or maybe McDonald's. Saturday nights are for going to the movies at Fontana or being with that someone spe- cial on a hot date. Sun- days are for going to church, getting last minute homework done, looking in the closet to find clothes for Monday or just to chill in. Most seniors en- joyed their seniority.

The Class of '87 had broken the tradition their sophomore year by defeating the Class of '85 to win the drum. I remember when we were sophomores. Man, were the seniors mad when we won. I didn't understand it then, but I do now. I don't know what I would have done if anyone else had won this year, said Mary Crear. That desire to be one of the few classes ever to win the Spint Drum twice fueled the com- petition - especially between the juniors and the seniors. Eaming the points for the drum started early Monday moming. Student Council members were in the lower commons, grab- bing students and teachers by the ann and forcing them to empty their pockets of change. 'II was walking along minding my ovm busi- ness. Mr. Latimer grabbed me and told me to donate to the spirit fund. What else could Ido? I donated, said Patrick Weaver. The juniors even went out to collect money during fifth hour class on Thurs- day in a last-ditch effort to defeat the seniors.

David Ogden and I crammed all night for that test, Scott Appell said. On test day sen- iors studied every min- ute - between classes or even during another class. As classes changed, seniors asked each other: How many questions? Is it hard? Any sur- prises? Students walked in Room 210, brains buzzing with informa- tion about Zeus and Cronos.

Seniors Teegarden-Vann 59 mbarrassing famil ties Seniors, freshmen bound by relative pleasure, pain Having a freshman sister or brother could be a real pain or a real pleasure for a senior. Sometimes they ar- gued when one asked the other for a favor. But then the same two sisters hugged after a football victory. Brothers and sisters were sometimes em- barrassing. Senior LaRon Buggs said he's embarrassed when his brother freshman La- mont Buggs hits on him in front of friends. And freshman Teresa Almy got embarrassed when senior sister Mi- chelle Almy called her by her middle name. Just hanging around with friends could be embarrassing when there's a freshman in the family. The fresh- man comes over to ask a question or even to start a conversation with the senior. The senior's fnends get in- terested in the way the senior reacts to the younger sister or brother. Usually the senior turned his back and pretended the freshman didn't exist. Trying to ignore and blow off the younger one was mean but the older still did it. When the senior did take time out to talk to his freshman sibling, it was usually to give ad- vice. Most advice given not do something real- ly dumb. Then the freshman got offended and the senior was sur- prised. Instead of being em- barrassed, some stu- dents were proud to have someone in school related to them. Freshman An- gela Ferguson said, I was proud of my sister for participating in the Miss Fashionetta Ball.

There are advan- tages to the elevator. It is a much quicker way to get where you are going. Fighting the crowd and avoiding de- lays are also some ad- vantages. Usually students are pretty obvious when they have illegal keys. One student will open the door and ten more will run inside. SEARCl'llNC1 FOR THE KEY.

Many just drop in to chat with friends be- fore class. Classes pile in 55 students at a time. They use my card cata- log to help them re- search. They invade every comer looking for books. At lunch time stu- dents find time out to visit me. They catch up on overdue work or try to catch a few minutes of sleep. The dreariness of the afternoon crowd makes me feel sleepy myself. I try to make it through the rest of the day looking at their un- interested faces. As the 2:45 bell rings and the halls get a break from the noise of everyday life, I remain awake.

Student leaders found that Webster didn't come close to the real meaning of re- sponsibility. Responsi- bility meant extra time, extra work and some- times it meant doing things other people don't. Senior Mary Crear said, t'Being the year- book editor-in-chief takes a great deal of time and patience. We have to keep track of what's going on around school - and then we stay here until 11:50. We made friends with the night custodians. Red Feathers presi- dent Lisa Blevins said, I enjoy serving my school. It makes me feel responsible, like in some way I might make a difference. Senior Trica Cox, NI-IS president, said, 'Being president is a lot of hard work be- cause I have to take on most of the responsi- bility of the organiza- tion. The biggest reward most students receive is the feeling of achievement. Know- ing that you achieved something is a great feeling. Even if it is only getting a few more peo- ple to show their spirit at the pep assembly, it makes it all seem worthwhile, Lisa Ble- vins said.

However, homework is usually done every- where but home - in the girls' restroom at school, in a comer of the Commons, with a Walkman in the gym, at lunch in the library, and at Ted's after school. Sometimes third hour homework is done in second hour. Some students have hang-ups about where they do their home- work. Tosha Mclvlillon does her homework on the city bus going to and from school.

A four day weekend soon became a five day vacation when eight inches of snow fell on Saturday night. Tulsa Public Schools were closed on Tues- day but students re- tumed to the building on Wednesday. Students who braved the snow and drove to school were greeted by a snow covered park- ing lot which was near- ly impossible to drive HAZARDOUS PARKING. Not even eight inches of snow and a slick parking lot can keep Amy Schuler and D'andra Hol- ley from going out to lunch. through. Friends gave cars a push as frus- trated drivers tried everything humanly possible to get out of the lot. Tonya Moore said, I got stuck three times, once on the speed bump in the lot. Walking across the lot seemed to be as big a problem as driving. All did not reach the building without slip- ping and greeting the ice face to face. Jon Tarkowski said, I fell a total of three times. One time I bruised the tendons around my knee. LUNCH BREAK. On her way to lunch, Kim Knox slips on the ice as Tonya Moore enjoys Kim's fall.

Lyle Young was hosen Oklahoma's econdary principal of he year. Dr. Young was very excited when he got the news. I was proud 'or the Central stu- ents and staff be- use if it wasn't for them this wouldn't have happened, he said. As part of his award, Dr. Young attended a national conference in Florida. He said the most important part of the conference was the lopportunity to meet and visit with the outstanding teachers and principals from other states. HI think the selection panel was most im- pressed because we tried to tum the nega- tive image around to positive, he said. Part of tuming the negative image to posi- tive is selecting the teachers. Dr. Young considers that one of a principal's most impor- tant job. He said that his greatest contribution has been offering strong leadership and being highly visible to students.

But after a few weeks, students jumped right in with two feet and one shoe. Settling dovm after a passing time was hard but students had to concen- trate on such things such as Foods I and having to listen to the health inspec- tor talk about all the differ- ent kinds of germs that live on unwashed hands. Through all the speakers, some interesting and some not so interesting, students were always striving for a satisfactory grade. Watching the halfback of the football team ramble through his duffle bag searching for the pen that was in his back pocket, or going to trigonometry with a felt tip pen knowing that a pencil was required, to walking through the halls listening to people discuss what was on the English test - these are just a few sights and sounds seen and heard throughout the school year. At first going to the same classes day after day, watching the class clowns, listening to the intellec- tuals and seeing students get sent to the dean's office was exciting. Then things began to get a little discouraging. But students counted the days until the next break, took a deep breath and kept go- ing. l-low would all this inside school work help in the fu- ture?

Along with smarter stu- dents, some classes ac- tually produce things. Wood Shop produces everything from small wood carvings to pieces of fumiture and everyth- ing in between. Stagecraft students make sets for the plays put on by other students. Jessica Blythe said, UI get to watch the play while I work on sets but 5 by the time it's out I'm sick of it.

Stu- dent Council sold donuts for students unable to eat breakfast before they leave for school. During lunch students could go off campus or eat in the cafeteria. But after lunch they were supposed to wait until they got home before they ate again, unless they were lucky enough to have a foods class. The Foods I class pre- pared desserts such as cookies, brownies and cakes. They also fixed turkey for Christmas. Mrs. Barbara Figel's class cooked and leamed about nutrition. I thought we would go right in and start cook- ing, but we didn't, said Rochelle McMillon. For the first nine weeks they leamed what foods were good for them and why. Freshman Katrina Beller said, I enjoy leaming how to cook. It is a lot of fun and some- thing I can use for the rest of my life. Senior Eric Roush had a smoking start to his new year.

I wanted to learn Spanish so I can speak to people from another country, said Angela Carpitchn. Teri Schoonover said, l'The first day I was in German, Mrs. Gaither was speaking fast. When I looked around, every- one had very blank faces. I was just as confused as they looked. For many students, math is a foreign lan- guage which the teacher speaks fluently. Mr. Rob- ert Heyne said, 'lMath is knovm universally. It is a logical way of thinking and communicating. I-Iowever, the universal language is foreign to many people. If you miss the basics of alge- bra it's like watching a movie in a foreign lan- guage, said junior Tiffa- ny Wiley. UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

Jason Stoner enters health class. Tony Mattox W ln most schools there are classes in which stu- dents must write many assignments. The students' opinions about the writing assign- ments vary from, If I were the teacher, I would give more, to I wouldn't give any at all. The kinds of writing that the students have to do range from para- graphs and essays to notes - not only class notes but notes to friends. Those notes can be embarrassing. Junior Barry Lowe said, Once this guy got caught writ- ing a letter during class. He had to read it out loud, word for word. In Coach Jerry I'leeI's World History classes the students take notes on the many lectures that are given. Even though tests are given over those notes, some stu- dents find time to write love notes. They even consider the notes better than the ones they take over Mr. Neel's lecture. Junior Mary Brouming said, llThe best thing I wrote in Coach Neel's class was a note to my boyfriend. Even though students expect to get writer's cramp in English classes, some thought that their teachers carried their en- thusiasm too far. Ulvlrs. Simmons, now there's a woman who must love to read because she as- signs so much written work, said Dana Towers. , Some students didn't mind the writing assign- ments. Junior Vicki Hen- derson likes writing para- graphs in Mrs. Eileen Simmons' class because it gives you a chance to use your imagination. The paper pile seemed to grow every day be- cause writing assign- ments kept coming. Even though students didn't necessarily like their writ- ing assignments, some realized that writing is good for them. Sophomore Shannon Purdom said about one of the classes in which students do the most writing: English is sup- posed to help you in the future. That is why you take it for twelve years. 18?

But once in awhile, they burn something. lt's enough to make you lose your appetite complete- ly. Doing new things are fun although there are times when students must wonder what they got themselves into. Brante Harper said, Biology was a blast, so I went on to chemistry. He later added, Chemis- try is a bit harder but l'll get the hang of it, some- day. Teachers think hands- on experience is impor- tant to help students leam. Students enjoy do- ing things like dissecting frogs. Science teacher Mr. Fred Wightman said,uIt's important for students to get hands-on experience. Seeing something three dimensional is always better than reading about it, and understand- ing the structure helps students to understand how a living thing works. Rochelle Mclvlillon said, I had to dissect a frog and it's neat. The frog parts are so small. EYEBALLING IT.

Electron- ic Office Applications teacher Mrs. Pat Burton would like to have more computers for her class. That would help to make this class easier for my students and me, she said. Not all classes involv- ing keyboards are for business and practical skills. Piano lab is for the fun of it and to help stu.- dents leam the keyboard skills of piano playing. I enjoy taking piano lab and it makes my mother happy, Mary Browning said. Junior Faith Agostinone enjoys the fact that music teach- er Mr. Tim Beach is able to work with everyone in- dividually.

Tribal Tribune 109 - With more The agony of defeat may have been felt by athletes during some of the exciting challenges that occurred- during the year, but win- ning or losing, athletes were never down. Combining school, prac- tice, games and sometimes jobs is rough but athletes to stick it out to the end. For what? For all the fame and great feelings that ac- company winning. Although athletes were the winners on the field, the student body shared the great feelings. When the Friday aitemoon bell rang, releasing students from the trying week of school work, they board school buses and get into cars. But school spirit ran through the veins of these students and they retumed for after-school activities to kick off an exhilarating weekend. Students rushed into the stadium, into the gym, to the pool or to the track to reserve seats for friends. When Monday came, students couldn't wait for the next weekend and the next game. To keep themselves occupied, they discussed last week- end's game. Support like this was new to the football team. Last year's team broke a 59- year tradition by going to the state playoffs. The re- turning players came on the field with a positive atti- tude. Like the athletes, fans started out with a good attitude and kept the same atti- tude throughout the whole year. The stands at Webster and in the gym filled with fans wearing red and white. PUT TO THE TEST. Basketball player Robbie Daniels stays after school to make up a test. school spirit to support them, the athletes put aside the negative thoughts from past years and put out positive thoughts of winning. thletes charmed to win Athletes do two things after winning a game. First, they congratulate each other. Then they privately give thanks to their special lucky charm. Sports has its ups and downs but having a good luck charm always helps. Senior Byron Cooper wore his lucky red oak tree hat to football games until he lost it. I haven't had a good game since, he said. Sometimes good luck charms can en- courage a person, and give the athlete a sense of security. Senior Clyde Hill wears his 'Big Red Shirt to all of his sports activities. It gives me the feeling to go on and achieve my goals. . Charms are sometimes introduced to future athletes when they are children. Junior Tia IVlcCrackin, who plays softball and tennis, said, No matter what hap- pens, I always know my gold chain will encourage me because my mother gave it to me. b Special amulets comes in all shapes and sizes - such as a pair of red shoe strings. Senior Jason Debus said, I only wear them when l play baseball. Having them for two and a half years has given me confidence when I play. 112 Good luck charms! RIGHT FOOT.

That's what was re- sponsible for the team's first trip to the state finals in 40 years. In the district game against Bixby, and playoff games against Edison, Altus, and El Reno, Geoff's last minute - even last second - field goals kept the team head- ed toward Stillwater and the state finals at Lewis Field. Going to state became a mission for the team, especially for the seniors. Remembering the 0-10 season their sophomore year, seniors knew the feeling of losing. After that, some players consid- ered quitting. Senior Byron Cooper said, I considered not coming back the next year, but I realized we could overcome anything. For underclassmen who played with the varsity during that slump, things were different. I never wanted to a kick away quit football because I had three years ahead of myself and I knew we'd do bet- ter, said junior Marcus Hom. Many players were the victims of jokes, but they leamed to deal with all the laugh- ter in their own way. I ignored people when they made fun of us, said junior Tony Wilson. Senior Corey Myers said, Kids in my neighborhood thought when we won it was because of luck. My friends at Washington didn't say too much of any- thing because they lost at state, too. Realizing the team could go to state hit athletes quickly. Junior quarterback Tots Tillman said, I knew we would go to state after we won our first playoff game. For others, the feeling came sooner. After the first game of the season, I could tell we'd probably make it to state, said ju- nior Kline Minniefield. WE'RE NUMBER 1.

The night before, players were nervous about the next day. Just thinking about it left many with only a few hours of sleep. They needed pep talks before the big day - if not a pep talk from friends, just a simple talk with mom and dad. All Stater Terrence Jones said, The day before the game, my mother and I had a talk. We talked about how lucky I was to be playing football. When I was young, my feet got bumed and my doctor said I'd never be able to play any sport. My family and I considered my playing a blessing. Other players seemed to remain calm. The hour and a half ride to Stillwater gave players and coaches more time to think. The bus was quiet and everyone seemed relaxed. All I was thinking about was how the offense would execute, said Tots Till- man. The moment of truth arrived for the team and coaching staff when they walked onto the artificial turf of Lewis Field. The stands were empty, but the players antici- pated a big crowd when two o'clock came. Terrence Jones said, When we got there it was all like a dream. I thought to myself, 'So this what it's like.' The stadium was so big. We had dreamed of that day for so long. The fans, band and cheerleaders ar- rived in five chartered buses and in cars. By the time they arrived, they were all ready to go. In spite of the team's being underdogs, the fans had a positive atti- tude toward the game - certain that the Braves would win their first state cham- pionship in 40 years. JUMPIH' FOR JOY.

Varsity Football 117 Winning The Silver Troph The weather wasn't promising clear skies. Rain was threatening, and there were strong winds. Those factors still didn't affect the scoring attack of both teams. After the kick-off, things began to get exciting. The first quarter started with McLain scoring two touchdovsms, but that didn't discourage the team. They soon were able to rally back and make the game close before the half. ItwaSr1't long before everyone began to realize the game would be a long one. Both teams were holding up as expected. Senior Rodney Drew said, Whenever they scored, it just made us work harder. We weren't scared. We just intended to beat them at their own game. In the end though, it wasn't to be. McLain won 52-20. The team made cost- ly mistakes. But I honestly didn't think the game was over until we fumbled on the 29 and they ran it back for a touchdovmf' said senior Shannon Carr. Someone said that as a team advances farther into the playoffs and loses, the deeper the wound. Players' reactions to their loss proved this to be true. At first the team members were bitter. l was hurt and mad when we lost. I didn't get any sleep that night, said Rodney Drew. After the pain of losing diminished, team members held their heads high. They had gone to the state finals, some- thing no team had done for forty years. INSIDE THE END ZONE. McLain players stand by as Tots THE AGONY OF DEFEAT.

Having most of their seasons rained- out, both teams found it hard not to think about how those games could've tumed out. Sophomore Carlis Lewis said, UI thought the coaches were joking when they told us some games had been can- celed. They had canceled the same games last year and we thought they were trying to be funny. I was getting upset when a lot of games were getting canceled. It wouldn't have been so bad if those games had been postponed, not just canceled all togeth- er, said Derrick Drew. Soon the team began anticipating that the games would be rained out. lt always seemed to rain on game days, Walter Wa- tie said. Many players were looking forward to playing the highly ranked teams. McLain was a big competition to the freshman and junior varsity teams just as they were to the varsity. When that game was rained- out too, it caused disappointment. Marcus Perry said, The team wanted to play McLain bad. I was really looking for- ward to that game, and when we didn't get to play I felt disappointed. Although the teams did make the best of their seasons, they vowed next year would be a time for making up the games missed during the season, whether they are on the junior varsity or varsity next year. ,QWFAN - - .

Leaving the field during the Web- ster game, Corey Porter listens to Coach Marcus Jones. Junior Varsity Freshmen Football 121 H Change sometimes confusing Making major changes was something that the varsity boys' basketball team leamed to do. Having a new head coach was the first of many changes made. Kevin Vann said, At first I was con- fused. I didn't know what to expect from him, or what he had in mind for the team. But once we got used to Coach Scott, everything was fine. It was hard for the team to adjust to the things that were ahead for them, but they still had other problems to wony about. All of the previous year's starters had graduated, and five new starters would have to take their places. The team does miss last year's starters because we needed their height. So, since we're a shorter team we have to be more aggressive in reboundingf' said Kevin Vann. Team work is an important aspect to a team. All of last year's players were used to working as a team. Denick Burks said, Teams are a lot better off if they work as teams instead of individuals. That has a lot to do with the outcome of the game. It helps the players believe they can ac- complish anything. And they'll get along better too. It would be better if the team had a more positive attitude in what we're do- ing. That always helps when you're losing a game and trying to come back, said Sydney Ponds. Boys' Varsity Basketball SINK IT!

Faith keeps boys alive Keeping the faith is something that the guys on the varsity basketball team had to do. But it paid off at the end of the season with a surprise victory over Bishop Kelley in the regional toumament. Although they lost in to Edison in the second game, they went to the area toumament - an impor- tant achievement for a team with a losing season. The first loss came from Booker T. Washington in a packed gym. ul was really embarrassed about that game, said Joe McCniff, UI didn't want to play basketball anymore, but l didn't give up. Six games into the season, the first vic- tory came and it was an important one. Joe McCrriff said, When we beat Cascia Hall l was happy. After that I thought we'd start winning more games. The second win of the regular season didn't come, but the team kept trying. UI wanted to prove to everyone that the team was better than the credit they gave us, said Dameion Ray. Even a losing season didn't diminish the fun of the game. Ray Alford said, What made the season so exciting was the transitions, and the weird predica- ments. Basketball is so different from any other sport because you could be dovm by 20 points and make a comeback faster. OFFEPISIVE REBOUND.

The girls' varsity basket- ball team wanted to do their very best in all of their games. The schedule was tough, but the team pulled through most of it. The girls felt that they were more than the average team. Junior Lynn Brown said, l'l think if you put us on the court with anybody we'd win or give them a good game. Close endings and overtime games make coaches and players think. If the games weren't won there was a bonding. I never felt bad when we had close end- ing games and lost in overtime. I knew we played to the best of our ability and that's like winning to me. We also have the most teamwork in situations of that kind, said Lynn Brown. Having a favorite match-up for the year is something that's expected. Sophomore Christie Coleman said, The game l'll always remember is the one against East Central because the girl I was sticking gave me the best challenge I ever had. That makes everything so interesting about playing basketball. Sophomore Kim Flowers said, My fa- vorite game was against Rogers. We beat them once, then played them again and lost in double overtime. I like playing Rog- ers because they're such a big rivalry to our team. This year was great not only because of the good games, but regionals were something to look forward to. LETS GO!

Freshmen came to high school wanting to get involved. When the basketball sea- son ended for the freshmen, there were two major things accomplished. They became the regular season city champions, then later went on to win sec- ond place in the city toumament, losing the championship game to rival Washing- ton. Winning always brings out the best in players. Mike Tulley said, I was happy with all of the achievements our team made this year. We didn't get the first place trophy, but l'm still proud. The girls' freshman team started out with a group of girls anxious to leam. Mama Renteiia said, We were mostly first year players, and not that good. As the season went on everyone improved. So many people started to play, but dropped out because they weren't serious about playing basketball. We ended up with nine or ten loyal players. Most of the freshmen players said they will be back for another year of basketball. l'll be playing sports next year. It's a good way to spend your time. And I plan on proving a l'm a lot better than I was this year, said Mama Renteria. 3 f ... l OUT OF BOUNCE.

Freshman Basketball 129 Hard to look easy Tennis calls up visions of graceful play- ers dressed in white effortlessly lobbing the ball over the net. But just as in football or basketball, such effortlessness requires a lot of hard work. Athletes will often look for ways out- side of sixth hour varsity athletics to bet- ter themselves. Camps, practicing in off season, and area toumaments are some of the places tennis players go, and things they do to stay to keep their game sharp. Tia McCrackin said, I'm always looking for ways to better myself. I went to a sports camp in Nevada a couple of years ago to play tennis. In the summer I try to practice at least six hours a day, and I also take lessons. Tennis is knovm as an individual sport, but it isn't always a one man activity. I think tennis is so neat because when we go to matches we don't compete as individuals, we compete as a team. You don't usually see that too often in a sport. We have so much team work when we play, and that's good, Tia said. Tennis, like other sports, has its frustra- tion which may ruin a game when some- thing goes wrong. When everything isn't going so well, you may feel upset because you're mess- ing up on something you already know how to do, said Les Cromer. LOVE TENNIS.

Wrestling a tough season Wrestling is a tough sport anyway and when the team loses by scores of 62-2 and doesn't score any points in some match- es, the sport becomes even tougher. The season was a little depressing, said tirst-year wrestler Scott Connor. I'l'm not a quitter, he said. I'We just kept going. The season was worthwhile because I leamed to wrestle for the first time and I kept in shape physically. Wrestling was the only sport Scott went out for.

I felt weak after losing the weight, but I couldn't have beaten a guy in the heavier weight class, Scott said. For Scott, the high point of the season was winning his match against Edison.

The humidity is high and the strong smell of chlorine lingers over the pool. The only sound is a single voice yelling encourage- ment to a teammate, Go, Lori. The diver seems isolated in his omm concentration. Standing on the board be- fore the dive, he seems to visualize what he is going to do. After the dive as the swimmer looks toward his coach for as- surance that he has done a good job, the announcer's voice echoes off the concrete walls - ll, as he reads thejudges' Scorecards. Swimming meets, on the other hand, are noisy. Water splashes, coaches yell, teammates beating on blocks, yelling en- l ..? couragement to the swimmers. Before the meet, however, the silence is intense as the swimmers psyche them- selves up. To break the tension, swim- mers sometimes begin acting silly - pop- ping each other with towels. The best part of a meet is when you know you've beaten a guy who is better than you are, Brante Harper said. Swimming is a family tradition for Brante. My sister was the best swimmer in Beaumont, Texas and that's how I got interested in the sport, Brante said. Jason Bennett said he joined the swim team because 'lit's the best way to keep in good physical shape. I also like to look at all the cute girls. DIVE IN.

It can be real scary. A very special kind of support comes from athletes' fam- ilies. Sometimes families are the only fans at a game. At the same time, outstanding athletes who have younger brothers and sisters re- alize that they have a special kind of re- sponsibility. The younger brothers and sisters may or may not want to become athletes, but they admire their older brothers and sisters. , Basketball player Laltlita Luckey said that she tells her younger sister, fresh- man Tracy Carr, Life isn't just chasing boys and playing basketball. lt's leaming and making the grade. Tracy, like her older sister, plays basketball. She ad- mires Lal'Iita. l'd like to follow in her foot- steps, she said. Senior football player LaRon Buggs said about his brother freshman LaMont, who plays freshmen football, I want my broth- er to be the best at what he does. Outstanding senior football player Dwyne Mayes had a different ambition for his sophomore brother, Aquarius, I want my brother to have good manners. If AIM HIGH. Practicing her shooting, Lahlita Luckey pre- pares for her junior year as a high school basketball player. Sophomore Aquarius Mayes doesn't share his brother's athletic interests. He said, I'm very proud of Dwyne but I don't want to follow in his footsteps. I enjoy aca- demics. Younger sisters also look up to their older brothers. Freshman Treece Bar- nett's brother Wendell is a football player. She is a basketball player. I'm happy for Wendell and I would like to follow in his footsteps in sports, she said. Senior Terrance Jones' seven-year-old brother Marquis is one of his most devot- ed fans. Terrance said that he wants to teach my brother how to do things a whole lot easier in life. Younger brothers aren't the only family fans at a game of course. Mothers and fathers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, and even grandmothers and grandfathers brave all kinds of weather through rain, sleet, or snow to watch the games. Family members yell and scream along with the rest of the fans at a game. Be- cause they are so personally involved, the athlete's family notices the behavior of other fans. Marquis Jones said when the fans cheered, he was happy. It makes me mad when they boo, he said. sibling sports 139 P i Athletes run for fun Students are always busy with their everyday routines and running is part of the routines. Students run in the halls as they try to get to class on time. But run- ning exists not only inside the building, it also goes on during sixth hour varsity ath- letics. Many people like spending their spring getting in shape. Track is a sport runners can get credit for and they do something they enjoy. LaRon Buggs said, I run track because l like running, and l like winning. Hard work comes with every good thing in life. Training can be a hard thing to deal with if someone is not used to strenious exercise. Brian Watts, girls' track team manager said, Even if you're a manager and not a runner, you still don't get out of working. I keep up with the team's equipment, and get out sweats when it's time to run. So, I'm kept busy just like everyone else. LaRon Buggs said, The boys lift weights and run to Apache street when we practice. Sometimes when the weather is bad we'll run laps on the bleachers in the Sym- Along with a new season came fun.

When the second semester begins and the weather tums into spring, it's time to get out of stuffy basketball gyms, off the wrestling mats, forget about the heavy football equipment and play the all-Ameri- can game - baseball. Baseball players are in the game be- cause they like it and they have played it a long time. Craig Smedley and Nicky Bradford said they have been playing baseball for about 10 years. I went out for the team because l like baseball, Nicky said. Nathan Harrison said, I've been play- ing since I was in the sixth grade. Craig went out for baseball because I liked watching my brothers play when I E r l l was little. A lot of people tried out, Nicky said. 'll helped others try out.

Jason Bennett said, The swim team killed McLain. David Woodard had a personal victory when he was one of only three wrestlers on the team to win in the Rogers wrestling match. Wrestler Andrew Williams said, I pinned a guy in nineteen seconds, that was my highlight. Some had surprises other than victo- ries.

Cheerleader spon- sor Miss Marla Potts, a 1977 graduate, said, We had them back in 'the late 50's and l wanted to try to bring them back. Shawn Jones, one of the four male cheer- leaders, said, Yell leaders were once a tradition at Central. l wanted to be part of 156 Cheerleaders that tradition. lt also sets Central 'al cut above the rest, be- cause no other schools have male cheerleaders. The most surprising thing about being a male cheerleader is Hsupporting the school. Jon Morton said.

This is the result of the Ecology Club members' effort after school, on weekends and even over Christ- mas vacation. Students noticed somthing different about the campus at the start of February. The Ecology Club built bird feeders, planted flowers and installed red posts at the east walkway entrance. The red posts were to keep trucks from driving over the flower beds that club members had spent part of their Christmas vacation planting, club sponsor Mr. Fred Wightman said. Members planted more than 100 bulbs for spring daffodils, tu- lips, narcissus and Dutch iris. Besides digging holes for flower bulbs, members also dug holes for birdhouses. They put up bluebird houses and a Purple Martin house on cam- pus. 'lWe have a 52-acre campus and beautify- ing it is a big job, Mr. Wightman said.

The- marching band went to almost all of the out-of-town foot- ball games, by that popular way of travel, buses. The sight of a chartered bus was a fa- milar one for band members who brought 2 f ' I t along most of the com- forts of home for the retum trip. Most of it was pillows, blankets, radiosftape players, and plenty of food and drink. The trips were al- ways loud. There was everything you could ever need in the way of food or something to drink, said Patrick Weaver. Sometimes the trips were also very fast, es- pecially when two ma- jor events happen the same day - like the state championship football game and the Tulsa Christmas pa- rade. Band members rushed from Lewis Sta- dium in Stillwater onto the bus, strung lights on the uniforms on the way back and hopped off the bus at school and back on the bus to travel to downtown Tulsa, just in time to greet Santa Claus. After witnessing the football team's defeat by McLain, band mem- bers especially en- joyed defeating McLain's band in pa- rade competition. AMERICAN POP.

Putting sup- port in the schools for the students is some- thing the Impact Group has done. A group of about six- teen students and Mrs.Diana Dahl met in the cafeteria on Mon- day nights at 7:00. They talked about problems many teens have and try to find an- swers. To be a member one does not have to be having problems, they just need to want to help, Mrs. Dahl said. On Jan. 28, con- cemed students and parents watched I'The Chemical People, Part lI, a TV show, about solving teen problems. Then they listened to a panel of guest speak- ers and asked ques- tions. Some of the questions included Do you see drugs, al- cohol, suicide, and even teen pregnancy in our community? and Are you willing to get involved to help our generation at risk? The speaker who got to me was the po- lice Chaplin. When he talked about all the younger kids with these problems and mentioned that a ten- year-old child commit- ted suicide, I was shocked Jeanette Keene said. BALLOOMS HERE.

Remembering what went on at the beginning and end of the school year is more than flipping the pages of a yearbook. lt's filled with many thoughts of not looking outside, but looking inward as a student body held together through winning, losing, good times and bad times, through thick and through thin. A tradition isn't just rub- bing the horse's nose for good luck or participating in Daze, the oldest high school talent show west of the Mississippi. lt's more than buying the latest edi- tion of Oklahoma's oldest yearbook. lt's having good friends and great teachers. And it's creating enough memories to last through the ten year, twenty year, even fifty-year class re- unions. Those memories were made of special occasions like the pep rallies where burning pride of students warmed the atmosphere after breaking the frustra- 174 Closing , is N WM tions of the losing football years. Memories were also made of everyday occur- rences -- the class clowns, the teacher's comy jokes, the weekly math or English tests, the special projects in shop class.

B u t t h e whole year wasn't just made up of memories Memories included the countless number of peo- ple who participated in all the honorary, academic, sports, and organizations events that took place.

No, it wasn't the fact that throughout the whole build- ing there are only 59 win- 'dows. And that once coming through the doors at the be- lginning of the day the things on the outside were forgotten about. The thought of not having many windows didn t bother the people on the inside They were too busy creating leaming and accomplishing all the events that make up a school year It was more than the football team placing sec ond in the state play offs having male yelleaders after 25 years and Dr Lyle Young No Reason lo being honored as principal of the year. Of course, all the accom- plishments couldn't stay within the walls. Students did things that contributed to a better school inside and out. Ecology Club members cleaned the campus, built birdhouses and planted flow- ers. English students Traci Frazier and Laura lVlcCol lough entered writing con tests and won Keywanettes members took freshly baked cookies to nursing homes and cheered up the lonely el derly FBLA members gave Chnstmas and Easter gifts to children in state homes The Thesplans took children from the Hissom Memorial Center Cutsicle to the State Fair and enter- tained more than 700 ele- mentary school children with a Christmas play. Students gave their all for the commu- nity. In a blood drive spon- sored by the Red Cross they gave 75 pints of blood. Students weren't thinking of themselves in all the giv- ing, but they were rewarded with awards certificates ser vice T letters and the best re ward of all the good feel ing that comes from helping others TICKETS PLEASE Harley Procell and Brandy Jenkins escort some children from the Hissom Memorial Center on a ride at the Tulsa State Fair while Zayda Ortiz checks to make sure everyone has tickets A VIEW OF THE CITY. Moving from the inside to the world out- side, students may find their' fu- ture in downtown Tulsa. IOSIE NS f W V
