Although they were anx- ious to use the new commons area, business, science, math, home economics and foreign language classrooms, memories from the sizzling summer lin- gered on.

Horn long time friends seemed to be first priority. Many took on big responsibilities such as being counselors at church and sum- mer camps, serving at hospitals and day care centers and watch- ing out for swimmers by life- guarding at nearby pool facili- ties. Everyone continued to car- ry on with the summer spirit by wearing l ams, having easygoing conversations and laid back days which were evident at the Second Annual Senior Swim Party, August 27 at the Del City Municipal Pool. When the foot- ball season opener arrived against lohn Marshall, the Eagle fans were ecstatic with the victo- ry. Summer practices had paid off and everyone had the desire to be true to their school.

Photo by Tl Mosely With a student body of over l500 people getting to know each other was a difficult task and Student Council decided to remedy that. l-lowdy Week was put on the drawing board and planning Went into action. First, the idea was brought up in the Wednesday meeting and dress up days were decided. Winning the top five spots were: nerd, Ha- waiian, twins, bum and red and white day. Few took part in the first day festivities by dressing like nerds, howeverg those who did went all out. As the days went by, students came out of their shells and got into the fes- tivities, Topping it off, a dance was held in the new Commons area after the Friday night football game. For this reason, few deco- rations were needed. Use of the big screen television was helpful for the music videos Hui Mo Kang prerecorded. Raymond Randle collected albums from students for extra music selec- tions. Although the game was not won, 150 people came to so- cialize in the school. Cary Mat- thews stated, 'lit was fun. The more people that came the more fun it became for all of us. Many more dancers were ex- pected by the Student Council hosts and Mr. David Holland ex- pressed he was . . a bit disap- pointed at the small turnout. Maybe losing the football game affected attendance. l really do not know what activity our stu- dents will come back to school for. Whatever it is, we will keep working to find it. When all was said and done, the ones in atten- dance benefited frorn the con- versations with new Eagle class- mates and the opportunity to use the large facilities and share something in common.

After l une, l uly, and August had evaporated away uri- der the fury of plus lOO degree days, Del City I-ligh School students kept a firm grasp on summer, or at least the sentiments of that time. Armed with the eagerness to keep the feeling alive, even after classes resumed, the possibilities were endless. The endless summer provided an opportunity for many to put in overtime, whether on the job or at foot- ball or band practice. Enrollment day offered a transi- tion period as students sank back into their roles but with renewed enthusiasm. Friday nights provided an outlet for good times inhibited throughout the week while student resourcefulness conquered construction blues. Schoolwork didn't have to consist of monoto- nous paperwork as Career Week and countless semi- nars testified. As winter closed its grasp in late October, it was obvious that summer had finally come to an end, but outfitted in Hawaiian prints and lams, the Eagles kept the feeling alive. As long as their selfless dedication to this way of life continued and their unlimited devotion never wavered, students knew the sun would never set on their endless summer , and by channeling the same enthusiasm into Del City I-ligh School, students discov- ered the most important way to be true to their school.

Hearn it imeott ummer to some people was a time to stay out late and sleep all day, or maybe spend the day lounging by the pool with a glass ot iced tea beside you. To some it was a time to catch up on the soap operas you couldnt watch during the school year. Movie butts spent time catching up on summer movies, such as Back To The Future or Pee-Wee's Big Ad- venture. Though laziness seemed to be a tavorite past time in the summer many Del City students took time out from the summer vacation to actually work. Many students held down jobs during the summer months. Athletes spent time practicing in preparation tor the upcoming season during the school year. Band mem- bers were also required to participate in summer band. Several Del City students participated in a program sponsored by Mr. Calaway at the Qmniplex. During the summer these students operated the pop corn machine and the harmonograph machine. They also were re- quired to walk around the omniplex explaining exhibits to visiting guests. For this and several other things they were required to do, they received one high school science credit. Keri Boyd stated, l recommend people do it because it's a tun way to get credit and learn a lot. The Pom-Pon Squad was also very busy practicing twice a day tor two hours each time as they prepared tor OU's clinic. For the tirst time the squad received both the superior ribbon and the sweepstakes trophy at clin- ic. A very happy Cary Matthews explained, 'tOur main goal tor the summer was to get a superior and sweep- stakes at clinic and we did it. An ever busy yearbook statt was hard at work during the summer on the next year's yearbook. They attended the annual yearbook seminar at OCC and began pre- paring tor the upcoming year. Perry McMahon said about the seminar, uit was a valuable experience tor new statt members. Del City's cheerleading squad stayed busy practicing twice-a-day three hours each practice. They then attend- ed QU's clinic where they received the Award ot Excel- lence, the highest award given. Head cheerleader Nikki Washington received All-American Cheerleader tor the third year in a row. iii' ' 4 VF X. :, . K. ' an E 3 I v 14.5. 1' JE- -fu, ., g 'C' w.

Never have so many worked so hard for something that lasted so briefly, but then what choice was there? Never before had there existed a lifestyle less in need of an encumbering, time- consuming part time job. But then, never had there existed a group of people more dependent OH cash to burn. The facts were simple: being a high school student was expen- sive. Between fundraisers and class pictures, lunch out and Friday nights, your status as a Del City Eagle often seemed to resemble a price-tag. And how was this life of free-spirited spending to be funded? Since most students were too honest to steal, a part-time job was needed. While some found fascinating employment, like disc- jockeying or ushering plays, most were left with the old stand- bys: bagging at Brannons, frying fast food, or dealing with cus- tomers and cash registers. ...L ln the bag Keeping things moving along quickly and keeping customers happy is just part ot the job lor Brannons bag boys, Paul Shaip and Scott Spence. Photo by R. Frolich. Passing the buck l l affairs pending time with friends is definitely one of the most popular things that students did. And one of the most popular times to do this was on weekends. As Gila Kane put it, ul love weekends! Go out running around, get- ting out of the house away from my parents and being able to be with my friends. Almost all students looked forward to getting to sleep late on weekends. After five days in a row getting up at 6:00 A.M. one needed the extra sleep. When fall hits, you could usually find a large number of students at the football game on Friday night. After the game you could find people hanging out at lack Sz Rowenas Sometimes students would retreat to the lake, which was a popular place to have a party. As winter rolled around and football season came to an end, you could always find people at the basketball game or wrestling match. There were many other things that Del City students enjoyed doing on weekends, such as cruising Air De- pot, going to a movie or a party or on a date. Everyone had their own thing that they liked doing the most. Tammy Rutherford said she enjoyed, HSpend- ing time with my boyfriend, like going to the movies, going out to eat, or just staying home and watching a good movie. ..

Q.. wg: lofab t was jammin! exclaimed Derek Haynes I I regarding the second annual senior swim party. Derek was one of about 75- lOO Del City seniors who attended the party held at the Del City Municipal Pool. The party took place on August 27, which was the same day that Del City seniors picked up schedules for their last and final year. After bumping into friends whom they hadn't seen all summer, this provided the perfect opportunity for students to get together and get reacquainted. Kristi lones, who was a senior class executive remarked that, lt started the year off with something exciting . . . it got everyone back into the swing of things. Many students took part in things besides swimming such as frisbee and volleyball. Some people even worked on their high-diving skills while at the party. Senior class principal, Don Colston watched over the event to make sure nobody got out of hand. Also on duty were several lifeguards, some of whom attended Del City High School. Senior class officers managed to pay for the party mostly through donations and with money earned by selling seat cushions at the football games. When the party was over it was apparent that it was well worth the hard work by the class officers to make it possible. After all it did everything it was supposed to. It provided seniors a chance to be around friends, get involved in school activities and have a lot of fun on a hot summer day.

To conform to changes going on all around it the student body had to adjust to a new routine as the old one felf to the wayside along with the rubble. Classes were for a time held in the auditorium until the new science rooms of the soutli side were completed. For the first nine weeks of school, a make- shift cafeteria was set up in the fieldhouse lobby while the new dining facility was nearing completion. Students who chose tc eat at the school were forced to use fieldhouse seating overlook- ing the basketball court during lunch. The verdict on the tempo rary situation was almost unanimously thumbs down. ln addition Eagles battled with noisy equipment while trying to concentrate on assignments and mud and debris when trying to get arounc outside. Temporary flooding of certain rooms gave teachers e new situation to deal with. Though everyone knew it would pay off in the end, that hardly seemed consolation for students anc faculty suffering from construction blues. ali Un-common Noisy machinery and inconvenient construction paid oil with the comple- tion of the student common, shown here under construction.

Construction blues GV Career week Listen up plan tor the future el City's annual career week was kicked off by having Frosty Troy come out and speak to the stu- dents. Mr. Bendau was in charge of organizing ca- reer week this year. lt is necessary to write to potential speakers to write them to address the stu- dent body. All branches of the military have to be contacted. Teachers must be informed of the activity. If they need help obtaining a speaker it is done through the counseling office. A list of the various speakers is drawn up in order to make the faculty and students aware of the speaker, place, time, and topic. Places for the speakers to do their presentations must be ob' tained. Finally, announcements and reminders are made, as appropriate, in order to inform teachers and students ot the various happenings, explained Mr. Bendau. Approximately 20 speakers came to Del City in about 12 different fields. Some of the more popular speakers were Mark Shannon from KI lO3, Roy Clements from KATT, lerry Park from channel five, and Holly Ekels from channel five. When asked what the main purpose of career week was Mr. Bendau replied, The purpose of career week is to encourage students to being thinking of careers after their formal educa- tio nn A speaker in Mr. McGuire's room gives students ideas about what they can do in the tuture.

Whether or not to buy a small or large amount of senior pictures, when to take the ACT, where to apply for scholarships and the age-old delima of how many credits were needed for graduation were only a small portion of the many ques- tions and decisions that confronted us. Cnly one issue stood far above the rest: college. Most likely, family and friends would inquire about your fu- ture starting your sophomore year. By the time you reached your senior summer, mass quantities of bro- chures and advertisements adorned mailboxes, families were no longer the only one's interested in your future. The recruiting world was now involved. How would you like S25,000? was the offer by the infamous military and every college campus claimed to be the most scenic and was said to have a pleasing atmosphere, not to mention the appealing sports pro- gram. From agriculture to zoology, universities and insti- tutions across America and the world had what it took to make you happy. Many factors were involved in deciding on college. First, what did this college have to offer in future plans. Second, financial assurance and needs were discussed, and third, the location and atmosphere of the campus.

For the duration of competition, the field, court, or diamond became an extension of the school and the athletes the finest representatives in their respective divisions that Del City could offer. Being true to a team meant entirely different things to competitors and fans. For those who played, dedication was measured by sacrifice: making every practice, re- gardless of anything else, losing those few pounds to make their desired weight, learning the fine art of disci- pline, either willingly or not. For fans, dedication came through the investing of time and energy. By attending every home game or match and going on the road with their team when it was so required, Eagle spectators infused their team with a part of their unbridled enthusi- asm. Playing to win was important, but everyone knew that being true to the team went beyond that. Players were expected to work as one and build a trust between themselves that was necessary when play reached a crucial stage, Meeting and surpassing personal goals helped increase confidence, but it was working as a team that produced the greatest results of all. Sports division C Record Breaking Kenny Davis' record of l,399 yards in one foot- ball season seemed uns touchable, then along came Vernon Brown. His l,600+ yardage shat- tered Davis' record of the year before. Teammate Chad Treadwell, senior, re- marked on Brown's suc- cess, l'He works as hard or harder than anyone to be great. Vernon also competed in track. Last year during track season he pulled a hamstring and had to re- frain from competition for six weeks. Brown planned to con- tinue his education at ei- ther Stanford or OU. l've always pictured myself succeeding, said the ZOO lb. tailback. Brown summed up his feelings about football with this, l'lt's the feeling you can't get anywhere else.

Awards 4 i , heese These athletes smile and say cheese as the camera, torever, captures their pride. These happy taces only show wide smiles and pride. They don't reveal the pain, hard work and tear ot losing every athlete must tace. Whether it's long practices or losing to an arch- rival, every athlete must learn to utoughen up or join the band . Most people agree that there are three essential tactors that make up a team: loyalty, respect, and dedication. Loyalty is an important item it the team is going to work, said lunior Mark Livesay. Karen Marsh, senior, also agrees, Without loyalty, you won't know whether your teammate is going to make that key block so you can run tor a touchdown, or whether he's going to help guard your man as the player drives tor the basket. Respect is also necessary it the team as a whole is going to succeed. You must have respect tor your teammates and coaches to succeed, explained Coach Crittenden. The tinal ingredient is dedication. You have to be dedicated to the team and supportive ot your team- mates, said Senior Terry Brandenburg. Stephanie lenkins, senior, summed it up with her view ot a team, lt's a group ot individuals who strive to work together to achieve the same goal. an UQ dow fe 091 Io I F60-71 ODPSV 0 Sy QSQQ, S121 ,1 A- Wfg ,Ze Mi 129110601 Opel, own 100 ' dfy 'pbo 5591 fo 6 'S fry y 04 LV Softball Ist row, S.

Going to high school boiled down to two things: hitting the books and getting involved. They may have been only two categor- ies, but they were what kept the school running. Academics were the whole reason classes were held, though sometimes that reality wasn't always recognized. From choir to chemistry, from physics to family living, courses and subject areas ran the gamut of talents and realms of expertise possessed by students. And though every Eagle may not have loved every class, they ex- celled when necessary and were merely exceptional the rest of the time. Qrganizations, on the other hand, enriched the school with ripe opportunities and outlets for excellence. Stu- dent Council helped guide the school While the choir, band, and drama department lent an air of culture and flair. French, German, and Spanish Clubs broadened the typical scope of perceptions while groups like DECA and FBLA broadened future options through relevant instruction. So while giving up lunch for a club meeting or staying up late to catch up on homework didn't always sound appealling, no one ever said being true to your school was going to be easy.

While art classes stretched imaginations and opened new realms ot awareness, home economics taught the basic skills of everyday life and opened up a new feeling of capability. Some tasks, like ironing or cooking, seemed mundane and without meaning, but Home Economics showed just how vital seemingly boring chores were. Whether it was sewing on a or changing a babies diaper, this class made day-to-day a reality to many students. To others it was a good to the all to soon days of caring for oneself. on the other hand, was first concerned with changing the see the world around them and how they interpret it. detail, and depth were all important factors in pre- a students creative vision. By channeling their energies direction, many found a way of expressing themselves t possible before or a way of relaxing and enjoying a These courses, while dramatically different, were similar in their encouraging of looking at the things around them in a different light. With Home Economics it was important to observe and learn the basic techniques to life and with art it was simply important to look beyond what the eye first saw.

With the French and Spanish class rooms connected together by an adjoining office and the sponsers, Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. Dawson respectively, being such close friends, the French and Spanish Clubs mapped out a future that saw each group enriched by the union. For the second straight year, the two groups worked side by side on an entry for the Homecoming parade and for the second Straight year they clinched victory. Their entry, a Ghostbusters themed float, featured a giant white marshmellow man perched atop it fit with moving parts operated from within. The holiday fseason saw the next co-joining with the pooled membership throwing a giant Christmas bash complete with authentic French and Spanish cusine. Held in the school's commons area, the party was complete with dancing and the normal amounts of good times. By February, Secret Pals were chosen with each Qmlub member receiving the name of someone in the other club. Notes, candy and hints to identities were exchanged before the Secret Pals revealed their secret on St. Valentines Day. Member of the groups realized the great importance their .Second language would hold in years ahead and both Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. Dawson saw to it that their skills did not dimin- ish because of disuse.

To handle the large number of students interested in studying the German language, Ms. Marsen taught a rigorous course that exposed students to not only the German language, but a large portion of the culture itself. For those who liked having a good time while getting to know even more, the German Club provided an outlet. October 5 saw the club traveling to Tinker Air Force Base to take part in the traditional Gktoberfest celebration held annually. Members sampled authentic German food as well as being exposed to other forms of German culture. By Christmas, they were ready for another party and so joined together with the French and Spanish Clubs to enjoy the holiday with three differ' ent sets of customs.

Such was the case of the Mat Maids whose primary duty was the unsavory task ot moppingv maps atter wrestling matches as well as the more pleasant responsibilities ot running the time-clock and serving as the front line tor Eagle spirit at all wrestling matches. The group shared a common interest in the sport ot wrestling as well as a shared spirit in their team which they gladly ex- pressed by cheering and providing support, often the only re- ceived at away matches. The hard work didn't seem to bother them as long as it was appreciated and atter a while they became acquainted enough with it tor it almost to be second-nature.

MM . . ,im ,M . . , I TERRORISM TWA ni htmare ends in death Over 35 thousand feet above the earth, Shiite madmen hold passengers, and the free world, captive lt seemed to be just a routine flight in the beginning. Flight 847 took off on schedule from Athens Airport- its destination Romeg it would never get there and would be i7 days before the trip really ended. When the plane left Athens, there were l53 passengers and crew members on board, over lOO Americans. Moments into the flight two members of the islamic fihad, a Shiite Mus- lin group, hijacked the craft, diverting it to Beirut. Tense moments were to follow as the captain pleaded with the Bei- rut control tower to allow them to land. We must, l repeat, we must land in Beirut. and then later after landing, They are beating the passengers. They are threatening to kill the pas- sengers. We must have fuel now. What followed was a hurried take oft for Algiers and then a return to Beirut that night. lt was then with the ter- rorists, hostages, and aircraft all stressed to the breaking point that the Shiites killed a young American serviceman, the only casualty of the hijack- ing. Day by day the situation fluctuated with all but 30 male hostages released and over ten new terrorists on-board. lt was later to be revealed that sever- al passengers had been taken ' before the eyes of the world one of the hijackers of TWA Flight 847 warns away those who move too close to the be seiged aircraft. Dateline: Beirut Played out off the plane in Beirut. Under the table negotiations eventu- ally secured the release of all hostages, but at the loss of American pride and life. L Terror on the high seas Achille LBLIYO The ship, the ordeal, the death, the revenge lt had only been a little over three months since the brutal TWA hijacking and no one expected it to happen again so soon. Terror in the skies had become a real and present danger, but who expected the next target to be a cruise ship. Undoubtedly, all of these factors contributed to the shock and outrage felt by the American public after the violent takeover of the Italian pleasure ship, the Achille Lauro, by radical Palestinians, but it was the vicious murder of an elderly, crippled man that crystalized the hatred of this nation. - , The ordeal began on Monday, October 8, when Palestinian terror- ists hijacked the ltalian cruise ship, the Achille Lauro, and immediately began heading the passengers into the ship's lounge and segregating them. Two le-wish passengers were kept together with twelve Americans and six British entertainers and later were ordered to climb to a higher deck. One of the Americans, 69- year-old Leon Klinghotter, confined to a wheelchair due to a stroke, was unable to make the climb. The ter- Why are you doing this io us? None of us are involved in Middle East politics. -Stanley Kubacki, a hostage aboard the Achille Lauro to one of his captors rorists kept the man behind and it would only be hours later that the other passengers would discover that he had been killed and dumped overboard. On the following Wednesday, the hijacking was over due to the efforts of Egyptian negotiators, but the story was far from finished. Days later, the Egyptians attempted to fly the terrorists out ol their country, destination unknown, but somewhere over the Mediterranean, American warplanes intercepted the Egyptian plane, forcing it to Italy where it was assured the men would be prosecuted by the country whose ship had been taken. :ii served lor 51 Y R . 1 jjv X 5 f ..

The launch had been postponed three times because of door problems, computer problems, and bad weather. Debris fell from the sky into the Atlantic Ccean for more than 45 minutes. lt was suspected that the large circular rub- ber-like seals that go around the 12 foot diameter solid rocket boosters failed and caused the explosion. This was the first inflight disaster in 56 manned space missions, 55 of them had been successful. ironically 19 years and one day before Challenger's explosion, NASA experienced its only previous disaster on a manned space mission. This happened when the lives of three astronauts were lost during the Apollo launch. Challengers launch was carried live only by the Cable News Network. After 24 successful shuttle missions since April 12, 1981, the launch had become routine. 1t was no longer put on the front page of newspapers and received very little time on the news. We had forgotten the dangers of space flight. lt had been forgotten that the shuttle car- ried an external tank for 8M minutes that contained 143,000 gallons of liquid oxygen and 383,000 gallons of liquid hudrogen, enough to cause the equiv- alent of a small nuclear charge if it were to explode. People had forgotten that astronauts risked their lives with each mission so they could explore the final frontier for America. On Tuesday lanuary 28, 1986, Chal- lenger was to liftoff on its tenth mission More than any of the other three shut tles in the fleet. lt was to be a very special mission for children. About 22 million school kids had been preparing for lessons that were to be conductec from space by Americas first teacher ir space, Christa McAuliffe. She was tc conduct two lessons from the shuttle The first was to be a tour of the shuttle and the second was to consist of severa experiments. The nation mourned the loss of theii seven heroes, flags flew at half-mas' and people watched the film of the Challenger exploding over and ovei again in disbelief. Some felt that the future of the space program was ir doubt, but President Reagan vowec that the program must go on. Final words 10:38 a.m. CST Mission commentator Hugh Harris: 10- 9-8-7-6, we have main engine start, 4-3- 2-1, and liftoff. Liftoff of the 25th space shuttle mission.

He was a Vietnam combat veteran and had been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. He was married and had two children. Michael l. Smith piloted the Chal- lenger. lt was his first space flight at 4O years old. He had been flying for 25 years. As a Vietnam war fighter pilot he was awarded 20 medals. He was mar- ried and had three children. Ronald McNair was the second black United States citizen in space. Besides being an astronaut, he was an amateur musician, a judo champion, and a kara- te expert. The 35 year old McNair was married and had two children. The United States first Asian-Ameri- can astronaut was Air Force Major Elli- son Cnizuka. During the mission he was to deploy a satellite that would study Halley's comet. Cnizulca was 39 years old, married and had two chil- dren. ludith A. Resnik was the United States' second woman in space follow- ing Sally Ride. The electrical engineer joined the space program in l978. Res- nik was iewish, 36 years old, and sin- gle. Forty-one year old Gregory larvis had been bumped from previous shut- tle missions. This was his first mission as payload specialist aboard Challenger. Tarvis loved playing squash, running and cross country skiing. He was mar- ried and had three children. Christa McAuliffe became Arnerica's favorite teacher when NASA selected her from ll,l46 applicants to be the first teacher in space. McAuliffe taught social studies and law at Concord High School in Concord, New Hampshire. The 37 year old teacher was married with two children.

During 985 and 1986, natural catastrophies truck around the globe with a ferocity inseen in recent times, constantly add- ng to the body count. The shortest disaster was perhaps the nost savage. For just tour earth-shatter- ng minutes starting at 7:18 AM on Sep- ember 26, Mexico City was torn apart by an earthquake that measured at 7.8 on the Richter scale. ln those short 240 seconds, an estimated 250 buildings collapsed in downtown Mexico City, with 50 more dangerously close to tall- ing. Over 2,000 people were believed killed with more than 5,000 injured and countless others missing.

Though the most destructive, the Mexican quake was only one ot 1985's disasters. In November, Nevado del Ruiz, a 17,716-toot volcano in Colum- bia, erupted in mud and ash. More than 20,000 were killed or lett missing in the wake ot the blast. The USA. was not lett unscarred either.

Gloria threatened New York but finally turned out to sea, and she was quickly tollowed by luan and Kate. Al- together, the sextet caused S5 billion in damages and 36 deaths. Other lite-tak- ing incidents included a dam burst in ltaly that killed 200, a landslide in Puer- to Rico that took 150 more, and a tidal wave and tornado that struck in union in Bangladesh taking another 12,000. While thanktul to be alive, the words of those who lived were haunting. The whole world began to scream, ex- plained a woman who lived through the Columbia disaster.

Most were skipping the normal rounds of parties, but then, that's what this evening was to be about: sacrificing to help others. Masterminded by Ken Kragen and Harry Belafonte, this evening was to be a lO-hour recording session that would change popular music for years to come. Together, they assem- Ch eck your egos at the door Sign hanging outside the studio where We Are The World was record- ed bled over 40 of the biggest names in American music to perform a song written by Lionel Richie and Mi- chael Jackson and to be directed by Quincy Jones. The song was called quite simply, We Are The World. For ten hours into the night and then the morning, the chorus per- formed and then the solos were re- corded. When it all was over, USA For Africa had created a masterpiece and raised S37 million. Others who gave their time included Diana Ross, Billy Joel, Kenny Rogers, Huey Lew- is, Cyndi Lauper, Willie Nelson, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen and the Point- er Sisters. Only two turned down invitations to perform: Pat Benatar- who was very preg- nant- and Prince - who was not. Musical artists unite to pledge I ain't gonna play Sun City! o sing or not to sing. That was the question. Not to sing was a moral decision made by Steve Van Zandt an the all-star group he assembled under the title Artist United Against Apartheid. Outraged by the racial separatist policies of the South African government, Van Zandt and his co-pro- ducer Arthur Baker decided that if other musicians could use their talents to help battle hunger, they could pool their re- sources and turn out a record to change a national institution in South Africa, apartheid. Under apartheid, South African black were unable to vote, own land or partake in many other pursuit that are taken for granted in the United States. The roster that th two assembled included some of the biggest names in rock, rap, RGB, punk and jazzy artists who donated their time and talent included Bruce Springsteen, Pat Benatar, Daryl Hall an John Oates, Herbie Hancock, Bono, Ringo Starr, The Fa Boys, Jackson Browne, and Bob Dylan. The single an album they produced shared the same name, Sun City. Sun City was, in actuality, a Las Vegas style resort that served as a playground for the white elite in South Africa and stood to Van Zandt as a symbol of all that was wrong in that nation. The chorus of the song was a pledge from all of the artists, I ain't gonna play Sun City! For their work, Van Zandt and his chorus were honored both at the United Nations and the United States Capi- tal. Where had all that money is mis? 1234.6 Si 3 as gy it is W Egg gtg?

The numbers alone were staggering. luly 13, at Wembley Stadium in Wem- bley, England and 1 FK Stadium in Philadelphia, Live Aid became a reali- ty. Before an estimated audience of 1.5 billion television viewers and radio lis- teners, the concert raised over S65 mil- lion for Ethiopian famine relief through private and corporate donations. ln ad- dition to Wembley and Philadelphia, live performances were beamed in from the Netherlands, Australia and the Soviet Union. An achievement of this scope took meticulous planningp Bob Geldof, the rock-and-roll man with a vision spent six months masterminding the event with music impresario Bill Grahm and producer Michael Mitch- ell. The British end of the program opened up with Prince Charles and Princess Diana inaugurating the tele- cast. David Bowie, Elton lohn, Sade, Dire Straits, and Sting were only a handful of the performers who followed and then there was the case of Phil Collins. After his set at Wembley, the energetic pop star boarded the Con- cord, tearing across the Atlantic to ap- pear in Philadelphia before midnight.

Rockers aid the heartland The event was called Farm Aid, and though it was greatly compared to its predecessor- Live Aid, the mood was very much different. 1t's like a big rent party, explained one farmer, except the rent happens to be on most of the Midwest. After a casual remark made at the end of Bob Dylan's Live Aid set CDylan suggested setting aside a couple of million dollars to help pay off American farm debtsD,Wi1lie Nelson confered with Neil Young about his idea- a concert specifically aimed to raise money for American farmers. Together with the help of John Cougar Mellencamp, they organized the massive effort in only ten weeks as well as lining up the talent to appeals. The concert, held at the University of Illinois football field, was rained on off and on all day, but 38,000 fans still gathered to watch the event raise over S10 million, well short of the anticipated S50 million.

Other purchases: 41 hospital tents, 10 tractors, 21,100 tons of food- stuffs, and over S1 million in medi- cal supplies. All remaining moneys were put into long range develop- ment. With all the concern about not playing Sun City, what musicians did play there? Not many. Very few musicians would perform at the controversial resort.

H I E I N I3 TRAGEDIES AIDS in America It's simply called the Horror in central Africa, but in America it's called AIDS CAcguired Immune Defi- ciency Syndromel. The first cases in the U.S. were discovered in 1980, and five years later there was still no cure or vaccine in sight. It had become an epi- demic and the number of cases dou- bled each year. The federal govern- ment made it the nation's No. I health priority. AIDS tears down the immune system and leaves the body susceptible to le- thal infections. It's seen mostly in homo- sexual men and drug abusers, but it was also found in hemophiliacs who had received contaminated blood, newborns who had been exposed to AIDS while in the mothers womb and some heterosexuals. Researchers and other experts told the public that the virus was not conta- gious through casual contact. They ex- plained that blood and semen were the two main agents of infection. But they were unable to convince a nation that had become irrational with fear and misunderstanding about AIDS. This growing fear was made apparent by acts such as: parents keeping l2,000 students at home in Queens, New York because the school board was allowing a 7 year old with AIDS to attend schoolg the Mount Vernon, New York Board of Education voted to bar students and teachers with AIDS5 and insurance companies that wanted to exclude AIDS coverage from policies. The media stirred up even more fear when they discovered that movie star Rock Hudson had AIDS. Nobody seemed to care whether he lived or died. The only thing they wanted to know was Did he give his co-star on Dynasty, Linda Evans AIDS when he kissed her? Blood banks started screening blood given by donors to ensure that con- taminated blood would not be passed on. Red Cross estimated that 1,500 of 4 million recent donors suffer from AIDS. The test to determine if an individual had AIDS was not fool proof. A positive result simply meant that a person had been exposed to the virus and their body had begun to develop antibodies against it. They can't predict if AIDS symptoms will ever develop from this in the future. If the test were to come back negative a person could still be in the early stages of AIDS since it can take the body up to a year to produce anti- bodies. AIDS had all of the experts stumped. Research answered few questions. About the only answer there was for sure was that if you contracted AIDS you had very few, if any, chances of survival. Information about AIDS -After exposure to the virus it could take up to five years before full symp- tons appear. -The AIDS epidemic began four years ago. -It was estimated by experts that one to three million people were carriers of the disease and were passing it on with- out knowing. -Close to 31.5 billion has been spent on treatment for the disease. The average per patient if SI47,000. -Approximately 5,500 AIDS victims have died from it. -Cn Qctober 27, l984, there were 3,4l0 reported cases. On October 26, l985, there were 6,568 reported cases. -Experts say that there are several cases they feel go unreported because of fear of losing friends, jobs, insurance, or family support. -Of the toal number of AIDS cases, lk was spread through sexual transmis- sion among the heterosexual popula- tion. -There has not been a fully document- ed case of a woman giving AIDS to a man. MOVE'S siege ends in disaster tl-lll..ADELPHlA-A radical group with a violent mast that believed in anarchism and rejected echnology had lived in a house on Osage Ave- iue in Philadelphia since l982 and called riemselves MOVE. The back-to-nature cult was accused by ieighbors of dumping excrement and garbage ,bout the house. Neighbors also complained fiat the MOVE members would broadcast ob- cenities and political tirades through loud peakers on the roof of the house, sometimes vell past midnight. Mayor Goode was criticized for claiming here were no legal grounds for action. Later hat month Mayor Goode said that it had been liscovered that MOVE members had legal roubles involving unpaid bills and housing :ode violations. Police were sent to evict the adicals from the house. On May l2 police evacuated four blocks around MOVE's house ind 56 officers were sent to the area. MOVE nembers refused to leave the house and fired at nolice officers when they tried to serve an evic- ion notice. May 13th. Gun fire continued hroughout the 24 hour seige. Police tried tear gas and water cannon at- acks but the house was fortified with steel alates, tree trunks and wood planks so it with- tood. At 5:27 P.M. a bomb was dropped on the louse. This was intended to destroy a roof Junker so that police could pour tear gas and vater through the hole into the house. This plan Jackfired when the bomb caused a six-alarm ire destroying at least 50 homes causing close o S5 million in damages and leaving about 300 Jeople homeless. Officials suspected the MOVE house con- ained a large amount of explosives and said his could have been the reason the fire was ible to destroy two blocks of houses in six iours. On May 14, Mayor Goode said that every iouse would be rebuilt at no extra charge to the esidents. Racial violence erupts in South SOUTH AFRICA-There had been several weeks of official talks about possible reforms in South Africa's apartheid system of racial separa- tion. Then on Feb. 18-2l South Afri- ca's white minority government cracked down on black political ac- tivists once again. Violence in South Africa erupted once again and conflicts between blacks and the government dam- pened the hopes of reform. The South African lnstitute of Race Rela- tions estimated that more than 260 people - all of them black except one - had been killed in l984 by police or in reprisal killings by blacks. As of March 26, l985, an estimated 96 had already been slain. On luly 20, South Africa declared an indefinite state of emergency. President Pieter W. Botha imposed this crackdown that gave powers to the military and police to arrest any- one they felt was a threat to public safety and hold them without charge, trial, or access to lawyers. Africa Botha imposed this because of violence that since September 1984 had taken about 450-S00 lives. The violence started with protests that re- lated to blacks limited political rights under the apartheid system. Public schools were turned into battlegrounds and black political ac- tivists were disappearing and then their bodies were being found days later. Antiapartheid demonstrations sprang up all over the United States. They were demonstrating on college campuses and in Washington, DC. Dozens of major foreign banks re- fused to roll over maturing loans to large borrowers in South Africa. Some countries even imposed sanc- tions against South Africa. Some progress was made such as the laws that prohibited inter-racial sex and marriage were scrapped. But this was not even close to ending apartheid in South Africa and the violence there raged on.

Tina Clark Controversy for records First they added an extra movie rat- ing-PG 135 next on the agenda was record albums. lt all started when Su- san Baker, wite of the secretary of the treasury, and Tipper Gore, wife of the senator fromTennessee wanted to add rating or warning lables on albums of guestion. The two formed the Parents Music Resource Center KPMRCDQ the antiratings group, Music Majority, col- lected members with names like Prince, Don Henley, Cyndi Lauper, Lionel Richie, the Pointer Sisters and lohn Cougar Mellencamp. Qver 25,009 songs are handed to the Record lndustry Association of America each year and President Stanley Gortikov claimed it was next to impossible to screen and censor every one of them in order to rate them and issue warning labels. BB E sPoRTs The coming of the Bear NEW QRLEANS- The Chicago Bears com- pleted one of the most successful seasons in NFL history on lanuary 26, l986, by mauling the New England Patriots' 46-lO in Super Bowl XX. The Bears defense tied a Super Bowl re- cord with seven sacks. The defense also held New England to l23 total yards which was only four more than the Super Bowl low. The 46-10 score broke the records for most points and largest margin of victory. Folk hero William The Refrigerator Per- ry didn't disappoint the fans he had gained during the season. The 300 pound rookie got a tackle, he blocked, he carried the ball, and he even scored a touchdown. Quarterback lim McMahon also had an impressive game as he scored two touch- downs and completed l2 passes in 20 at- tempts for 256 yards. McMahon had been one of the media's favorite subjects the week before the Super Bowl game with his acue puncture treatments and mooning helicop' ters. Richard Dent was selected as MVP after forcing two fumbles, knocking down a pass and receiving credit for llfz sacks. A change in the game After 59 years of playing the same game the Harlem Globef trotters decided it was time for a change. The new team presi- dent, Earl Duryea, decided the time had come to have the first woman Globetrotter. When the tryouts were over it was announced that 25 year old Lynette Woodard had been chosen for the job. The credentials Woodard came in with were impressive to say the least. During her career at the University of Kansas she scored 3,649 points, more than any other female player in col- lege history. She had also been the captain of the l984 U.S. womens Qlympic team. .l..i3....l Off r it . .. A . K 751: S- . A . 3. at sf fir X. 4, wi X --a.

After trailing the St. Louis Cardinals three hames to one, the Royals be- same only the fifth team in his- tory to come back from such a tgleficit and win. f lt was the Cardinals l4th World Series. For the Royals, which were a 1969 expansion of St. Louis, it was only their second. They had lost the first time and were determined that this time they would walk away a winner. During the season the Car- dinals had led the National League with a .264 team bat- ting average, but that all changed during the World Se- ries. The Cardinals slipped to just .l85 in the Series and scored a total of l3 runs. ln the seventh and decisive game, the Royals showed no mercy as they whipped the Cardinals ll-O. Kansas City pitcher Bret Saberhagen was selected most valuable player of the Series. v CTNCTNNATT- When one thinks of baseball the name Pete Rose usually seems to come to mind. As Roses old manager Sparky Anderson once said, 'Peter is baseball. Rose had played in lo Alle Star games and 34 World Se- ries games. l-le was named The Sporting News NL Player of the Decade for the 7O's. l-le was the Hickok Belt winner in l975 as pro athlete of the year. l-le was Sports I1- 1ustrated's Sportsman of the Year in l975. He also had re- cords for most regular season games played in and number of wins. Everything's coming up Rose's Pete Rose wanted more. l-le wanted the record for all-time number of hits. This reccrd was held by Ty Cobb and had stood for 57 years. ln l985 the 44 year old Rose who was the player manager for the Cincin- nati Reds got his 4,l92nd hit, and the record, against the San Diego Padres. EE B I E I co EBACKS Sixties revived Patriotism and paisley return Everyone, at one time or an- other, has heard it. Everyone knew the words. Patriotism made its appearance not only in talk and action but in music. Bruce Springsteen worded it well when he sang UBorn in the U.S.A. Ronald Reagan even repeated the words. Springsteen reflected his good times when he recorded Glo- ry Days. Tragedy, destruction and despair seemed to hang in the air. American families lost rela- tives and friends through plane crashes, mud slides, earthquakes, terrorist attacks and incurable diseases such as ATDS. lt was a year of the un- known and this is what bonded human good spirit and hope in an effort to stay strong. ln the fashion scene, the l96O's were a prevalent force. Paisley print decorated shirts, jean pockets, coats, and socks. Stirrup pants became popular for everyday wear and aerobic exercise. Bold flower prints emerged and l ams shorts were a summer necessity, look alikes could even suffice. Gne Put- nam City West graduate sur- prised onlookers by wearing shorts resembling the U.S. flag. Rhinestones also came back in jewelry, hair accesso- ries and on shirts to add pizazz and color. Fitness was taken seriously and women as well as men jumped into the aerobic scene and routine. Diets like the Her- balife method kept selling with the phrase 'llsose weight, ask me how. Diets accompanied exercise which explained the term Hthin is in . Back from the soda fountain came cherry cokes canned by Coca-Cola. lf you were searching for a taste of the 80's brought back, McDonald's revived the dou- ble cheeseburger and all you had to do was say 'lplease . Peace talks Ronald Reagan, President of the United States and Mikhail Gorbachev, General Secre- tary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union agreed to meet to discuss issues dealing with peaceful relations. Both men expected good results. They arrived ready to begin the meetings on November l9 and concluded on November Ql, l985. Geneva, Switzerland was known for being a neutral area and was the main reason summit meetings were held there. Reagan and Gorbachev received adequate coverage, but the wives got attention and comments on clothing excel- lence as well. As the leaders relaxed by the fireplace, heated discus- sions covered basic Soviet- U.S. relations questions and also the international situa- tions. True, the meetings were useful but, serious differences remained on a number of criti- cal issues. They confirmed the importance for an ongoing correspondence and agreed to visit the other's country. The summit meetings clos- ing ceremony took place at Geneva's lnternational Press U.S. and Russia negotiate Center on November 21, l98S. This gave the two men a chance to give a closing speech. The following para- graphs were fragments of those speeches. Gorbachevs speech. The President and l have done a great deal of work. We dis- cussed in a thorough and pro- found way and with due di- rectness and frankness, a num- ber of major issues concerning relations, We discusses them with the intention, confirmed by both sides of improving re- lations between the USSR and the United States, to decrease the risk of nuclear war, to pre- vent a race in strike armaments in outer space and to stop the arms race on Earth. We are perfectly aware of our own re- sponsibility to our own people and to the other peoples of the world. Reagan 'S speech. May I ex press Nancy's and my deej personal appreciation and tha of all Americans to the people of Switzerland for welcominc us. We have packed a lot inte the last two days. T came tc Geneva to seek a fresh start ii relations between the Unitec States and the Soviet Union and we have done this. Gener al Secretary Gorbachev and have held comprehensive dis cussions covering all element of our relationship. l'm con vinced that we are heading ii the right direction. There' hard work ahead, but we are ready for it. Given as a gift from France in 1886 and cherished by Ameri- cans, Lady Liberty stands on Ellis lsland. Wind and rain assaulted her gleam- ing copper skin and changed it to brown, then black and finally a green- ish coat. Another coat of build up was observed and concern for the statue began. An aluminum scaf- fold was built around her in order for renovation. The Statue of Liberty was made of more than 300 copper plates. lt stood l5l feet high and weighed 225 tons. She was anchored to an 89 feet high granite pedestal which rested on a cement foundation of 65 feet high. At night the torch was electrically light- ed and the monument was floodedlighted. Vistors could visit the statue via ferry boat. An elevator ran to the top of the pedestal and a spiral staircase winded to the crown. Al- though no one could go up to the torch, there were more stairs and ladders. Many had donated money in order to keep Americas beauty alive. Children had given their pennies and spare change in the effort called Save the Lady . The spectacular unveiling was set for luly 4, l986 in which the public could get a glimpse of her facelift. Cn that day her l00th birthday occured and she was given a fresh start on another. What's old is new Coke doubles recipe for success America expressed its right to speak up when the Coca- Cola Company pulled a fast one April 23, l985. New Coke moved in and the original was discontinued. Pepsi-Cola pre- sented an increasing chal- lenge to Cola-Cola, that was why they moved to a sweeter, less fizzy taste . Coke was a 99 year old product which characterized the U.S. The recipe was secret and officials claimed the old formula would be returned to an Atlanta bank vault where it would never be used again. l uly l0, four months after the change, Coca-Cola spokes- man Thomas Gray announced Over 40 million consumers everyday in the U.S. enjoy Coca-Cola, but thousands of dedicated Coca-Cola consum- ers have told us they still want the original taste as an option. The company president, Don- ald R. Keough explained that Hall of the time and money and skill poured into consumer re- search on the new Coca-Cola couldn't measure or reveal the deep and abiding emotional attachment to original Coca- Cola. The South was disap- pointed in the new formula and the four and one half years spent on new formula research seemed worthless, the com- pany had underestimated the loyalty of consumers to the original which returned to the shelves as Coca-Cola Classic. Bumper stickers, T-shirts, post- ers, and even petitions were seen and signed around the country in order to protest the new formula. The grocers' shelves were empty from des- perate shoppers trying to lo- cate the taste that was it . f x. ,, 1-an g 1 1 , i , X',. ,A y -. 1 X , . . v rl -5 ...f b , ,....+ YV.. A Su..

Del City also had a new teaching method which was the Kelwynn Effec- tive Schools Program , used for the first time this past year. The Kelwynn Effective Schools Program was based around the idea that every stu- dent could learn. The Mid-Del school system was the first system in Oklahoma to use the Effective Schools Program which was de- veloped by the Kelwynn Corpo- ration of lackson, Mississippi. lt cost the Mid-Del System 9'p80,000 to use the program this year, which is approximately SlO0.00 per staff member. Each teacher was required to train a minimum of twenty-two hours for the program. They did this during two days which the students were excused from classes all day and then on weekends and during planning periods. The program built around five correlates which were: teacher behavior leading to high expec- tationsg instructional focusp school climate conducive to learningp and measurement of systems achievement. Teachers spent four to five hours training on each correlate. To introduce the teachers to the new teaching program they were shown a video which took them through each correlate. The video was done by the late Dr. Ron Edmonds who researched the program and Dr. Larry Le- zotte. Each teacher was then given a participant's booklet which con- tained a pre-test, an exercise for each correlate, and a review at Helping out Mrs. Mason helps a new student fo Hnd her classes. Photo by K. Kearn. the end. After they completed the exercises they discussed the ac- tivity orally. Expressed by the first correlate was the idea that the principal is responsible for productivity. And if you thought you ran into Mr. Holland in the halls a lot it was because this correlate proclaimed that the principal should be out in the school seeing and experienc- ing what's going on a minimum of 6570 of each day. The remaining correlates in- cluded things such as role play- ing. Teachers became students and the group leaders were the teachers. This helped in high and low expectations. Before the program was intro- duced, a district committee was appointed to write a mission state- ment. lulie Bailey lim Bendau lulie Bishop Debbie Brown Martin Bullock Faculty 133 Keeping school running smoothly ard Work pays off ln charge of the senior class this past year was Assistant Princi- pal Don Colston.

Photo by Tl Mosely Duties exceed. guidance dvisement and more Many people may have thought that changing schedules was the only thing the counselors were responsible tor. This task though was only a drop in the bucket compared to the many things they had to do. Couseling was ottered to stu- dents for their academics, their careers or even personal matters. Counselors also kept up with the credits ot each student, preparing a copy ot their transcript tor them each year. Serving as head counselor this year was Annette Nantois. She was in charge ot coordinating the orientations in teachers' classes, maintaining the count tor special programs, and several other due ties that went along with being head counselor. Mrs. Nantois was also in charge ot all the testing done at Del City including the ACT, PSAT, and CTBS tests. Earnest Green was placed in charge ot curriculum for this past year.

He coordinated career week, maintained a current tile on jobs and many other things. Teenage Pregnancy, Drug Edu- cation, Vocational Rehabilitation' and Upward Bound were also things Mr. Bendau was in charge ot. These duties weren't even halt of what Del City's counselors did. No matter how much work was piled on them they still had time to spend with the students who needed counseling tor even the most trivial problems. Del City was lucky enough to have tour counselors in the state. Mr. Bendau stated that he had, A desire to work with and help adolescents . With attitudes like this, it was no surprise Del City's counselors worked so hard to help the students. Counselors Baby Granahan Mrs. Granahan shows otl the latest addi- tion to her family.

This past year Del City ac- quired several new teachers. After being in the Mid-Del school system for many years Mrs. Scott made her way up to Del City High School. Because of being in the system for several years Mrs. Scott was already ac- quainted with many of the stu- dents which she had in her Eng- lish classes. Miss Flueckiger migrated from lndiana to Del City to begin teaching. She taught chemistry and biology classes. Taking over Mr. Newman's bi- ology classes was Mr. Goff who moved up from Kerr lr. High. He was also an assistant coach on the varsity football team.

Mr. Chandler refered to Del City as a good enviro- ment to work in. Teaching psychology and Modern European History was Mr. Scrutchins. After doing his student teaching at Del City in l984 he came back to teach. Mr. Sikes came to Del City and taught earth science and was also a football coach. The other teachers are very helpful. Any place l need to go or anything l need to ask them, they'll always help the best they can, ex- plained Mr. Sikes. Returning to Del City for the second time was English teacher Mrs. Brown.

Mr. Scrutchins explained that he had never considered go- ing into radio broadcasting until he was approached by the pro- gram director from KGFF in Shawnee. The program director felt that he handled an audience well and offered him a job as a disc jockey. What started out as a job to put himself through school led to big- ger and better things. After work- ing at KGFF for five years, he got a job at KOFM in Cklahoma City. l-le had to use the name Arthur Scott on the air since his boss didn't feel Scrutchins was suit- able. l-le got the name from the Scott St. Exit sign on l-40. l-le ex- plained, l was driving to KCFM to go on the air for the first time and l still didn't have a name. Then l saw the sign and that was it. Scrutchins returned to KGFF as operations manager after three Carol Morrison Gaylord Morrison Larry Murphy Annette Nantois Beverly Nelson Debbie Neugent lim Neugent Bonnie Nix Terry Payne lan Prober years at KQFM. Then two years later he decided to get out of ra- dio completely. 'lAfter eight or nine years it started taking it's toll on me, Scrutchins continued, it's such a demanding job. Mr. Scrutchins feels that he learned some very valuable things that help in teaching and dealing with teenagers. 'll realize the value of mass media and that it's very im- portant in young peoples lives, explained Mr. Scrutchins. ln 1984 Scrutchins came to Del City High to do his student teach- ing. He liked Del City so much he decided to come back and teach here. When asked what he liked so much about Del City he re- plied, The teachers are dedi- cated to education and really care about the students. Teaching is where Mr. Scrut- chins is planning on staying from now on. When l tell a joke now l have thirty possible people to laugh, before there was just a mi- crophonef' Lecture time Mr. Scrutchins takes time lo see who is at his door.

Speaking of dedication, Kevin expressed desire to bring to Del City, the State ring in both foot- ball and baseball. His dedication to his school's athletic program was shown as he had suffered in- juries while in the sports pro- gram. Kevin was dedicated to his academics also. He expressed de- sire to attend college at either OU or OSU. When asked his possible major, Kevin said he was consid- credit as being the most encour- aging and supportive people in his life. ln his spare time, Kevin liked to read a good book, go to the game room, and of course, sleep.

The word expensive had new meaning. As the senior pictures were passed out this year, many seniors complained about the cost ot being a senior. When Mrs. l-lire's 5th hour class was asked about senior pictures, all shouted, 'lToo expensive! Keri Boyd telt like she didn't receive enough pictures for the amount ot money she paid. Gregg Stuber said, All these ditterent expenses come too close together. Reggy Scott spoke out and commented, We just need a lot ot money to buy all these things.

Shannon Keefover Scott Keeton Stacie Kelly Kevin Kelton Seniors 2iH' Simply going to school was ex- pensive, but even more so as a senior. A few items that were ab- solute musts to buy were: sen- ior pictures, class keys, memory books, tassels, caps and gowns, yearbooks, announcements, ad- mission to all the games, and ot course gas money to go to school on. Other than these major priori- ties in every senior's lite, there were those less important items to purchase such as: insurance pay- ments, and the tee tor taking the ACT. test. The dreaded word job almost came to mind. The lite ot a senior was busy, hard work, a lot ot fun, and very ex- pensive, but well worth every cent. 1 ' Hrst things hrs!

Photo by S. Burlcs . I lt might have been hard for a new student to adjust to a new school but what might have been harder was for a student from an- other country to adopt a new cul- ture. This was hardly true for Anne Fornier, a senior exchange student from Holland. Anne came to DCI-IS in August from Breda, Holland where she lived with her mother and broth- er. When grades were up and motivation and attitude was suffi- cient, Anne applied and a place was chosen in Oklahoma where she lived with her host parents the Long family. School was definitely a differ- ent experience for Anne. ln Hol- land students were put in levels of school determined by their capa- bilities. Hours at school were like college. The average time spent in class was 5-7 hours in different classes-different days. Unlike the American school system, 5-7 hours may have been spent in the same classes each day.

Anne could speak fluent- ly four different languages and translate Latin and Greek into Dutch. Since this was the first time Anne had ever been to America, adjustments had to be made. She said parents were more strict with students in America. Anne stayed out until 2:00 A.M. in Holland. When Anne came in August, she was surprised to find Oklaho- ma with hills, l'Everyone told me Oklahoma was flat but compared to Holland, Oklahoma is hilly. After a long summer vacation, Anne left for Holland for two more years of school. , Anne Fornier FeaturefSeniors Q rw . work together to help senior class Once again Mr. Colston, Mrs. Nix, and Mrs. Pattord pushed the graduating seniors through their tinal year ot high school. Mr. Col- ston stated that he enjoyed work- ing with students. This was the feeling ot all three sponsors as each served as senior class spon- sor tor a number ot years, Mr. Colston, 12 yearsg Mrs. Nix, l2 years, and Mrs. Pattord, 6 years. Being a senior class sponsor was a ditticult yet very rewarding task. The sponsors met with the senior class otticers and helped them in making decisions con- cerning tundraisers, ideas on im- proving the class, and most im- portantly helped with the deci- sion-making concerning gradu- ation.

When asked what the good things were about being triplets, Lance stated, You know you al- ways have a friend. Hunter said, We're closer than other brothers and sisters. Barbara said, HYou always have someone to talk to. Cn the other hand there were some disadvantages. They all agreed that there was never enough privacy or time on the phone, no secrets, and sharing one car was very difficult. Their life time goals were as fol- lows: Hunter said, l want to be the best l can be at whatever l do. Barbara said, My goal is to strive everyday to do and be whatever lesus wants me to be.

That was the fact with David Burks, Mary Marsala, Rose Stout, and Anthony Lyle. These students were our four deaf! hearing impaired seniors. They could not hear, but they didn't let that get in their way of doing what they wanted to do. David had been in sports since jr. high. He was on the track and cross country team and enjoyed art. David made posters for the football players to run through at Missy Witt 4 the games. Mary was interested in fashion design and made a fur coat. Ballet and jazz dancing were favorites, too. The deaf education teacher, Ms. Varley, helped them with homework from other classes, gave advice and assistance in making college decisions. When Mary was asked if she would rather go to an all deaf school, she replied quickly, No l like Del City. There are nice people here and good friends. Some students took the sign language class which enabled them to communicate with the deaf students at Del City High School.

The group wrote them based on scrip- tures from the Bible and personal experiences. ln the fall of '85, Gudea was the opening act at the Lloyd Noble followed by the group Stryper. Gudea's performing clothes were of spand-x material, red stood for the blood of lesus and white for purity edged with black Pierce rocks to a Christian beat trim.

Accepting challenges, taking on new responsibilities, finding new ideas and beliefs, and preparing themselves for the real world, were just some of the things the juniors had acquired. Leading the junior class to a fun successful year were the junior class officers, PeeWee Factor, President, Connie Anderson, Vice President, Angie Coffman, Secretary, Scott Spence, Parliamentarian, Brian Amend, Treasurer, and Kevin Nosalek, Reporter. Preparing for the seniors' prom was one of the biggest challenges the juniors attempted. Raising money and choosing decorations for the prom kept the juniors busy most of the year, but there was still time to build a junior float and raise class spirit. The junior class always showed their spirit and not only excelled in academics, but also in their athletics and DC pride. These juniors went on to do their best, even after their high school years. funiors Qfrfcers The ladder to success Junior class ofiqcers prove that being best is just another step ahead. Photo by K.

Construction takes hold Being privileged to have their own parking lot was one ot the many things that the '85-'86 juniors were looking forward to. However, many juniors were crushed to tind that the construc- tion going on to rebuild the school, took hold ot this one priority over the sophomores and yanked it out of their hands. Parking in the sophomores' parking lot was the only choice juniors had, but many dared to take a chance in the senior parking lot, which usually result- ed in shoe polished or shaving creamed cars. The juniors' lost parking lot proved that upperclassmen and underclass- men can get along very well and also taught the true quality ot triendship and sharing.

Micki, a Del City ligh student, spent lune 30-luly 6 acting as a big sister to one ot the MD. Jatients. When asked who was her encouragement, she replied, My cousin, Shelli Ruthertordf' Shelli was the state posterchild. lt it hadn't been tor Shelli, viicki would have never thought ot being a volunteer. Anybody who was really interested could be a volunteer. A volunteer was assigned a child tor a week. .hey helped the child dress, get ready tor the day and anything else. They spent heir day doing ditterent activities and they couldn't leave their child alone tor my reason. The camp wasn't all work though, Micki had a great time. Their day vas full ot fun trom beach parties to talent shows. There was never a dull moment. Vlicki stated excitedly, 'lt's the best feeling in the world. She went on turther to say, llThey get to do what normal kids would do tor a week. One ot the idvantages ot being a volunteer was they didn't have to pay tor anything. lt one was not a camper or a volunteer the cost was 95250.00 a week.

One of the ten men team was leff Gowens, a junior at Del City High. Being a freestyle cham- pion for two years and in good stand- ings with the club, leff, along with nine other members, was chosen through- out Oklahoma high schools to repre- sent the United States, the first high school team to ever compete inside the Soviet Union. Although excited about going, leff was also a little apprehen- sive. Their first stop was Helinsiki, Fin- land, where leff placed second. Then they boarded a train for the Russian border to find soldiers searching inten- sively. When our train was stopped, Russian soldiers boarded it and pro- ceeded to run a fine comb through it,' leff remembers, and in general cre- 1 1 ated more tension among our team. With Malcomb Wade coaching, the team gave it their best shot but it wasn'i enough. They were up against wres- tlers who were 26 years old and wh made wrestling their life. They wer? very good and their technique is so perfect. They don't necessarily have more talent than we do but they drill harder because wrestling is a way out for them. stated leff. Although the team only won two matches that did not bury their spirits. leff intends to keep on striving for his goals which were to win State Championship and to receive a scholarship to a major university. His achievements were All City and State YMCA champ, outstanding wrestler in ninth, over 20 victories plus fourth place in regionals and a shot at thel State championship his sophomore year. He also won two National Frees- tyle championships. One of the things l eff learned was to appreciate the free- dom we enjoy here in our country.

The art courses ottered at Del City High encouraged the students to bring out the talent that they didn't know they had. There were many torms ot art: oil painting, water colors, pencil drawing, shading, pointilism - just to name a tew. People who were talented enough to know how to express them- selves on paper released their emotions through pictures and shapes. They had their own way to tell the world what Iunjorsfflrtists they were thinking. No matter what kind ot art an artist chose, one thing was definite, it was a masterpiece in its own right. No matter it the talent was natural or took years to acquire, it was certain that no two were alike. Stu- dents, who were lucky enough to have a talent that made a shadow ot lite, enhanced their skills the best way they could. Tuniors who were enrolled in art classes decided to step up further and took a course in art their senior year also. As people passed by the art classes, Working together S. Clark and S.

Clark had been drawing for six years and took classes at Hobby Lobby. He en- tered in art shows and took two first places in a mall contest. Clark did pen- cil drawings, oil paintings, pointilisms and pastels. His drawings were mostly of Indian Heritage. Though Clark's am- bition was architecture, he stated, Art is an inspiration for my future goals. Gassaway had been drawing for three years. He got his inspiration from his grandmother who was a professional artist. He also took classes at Hobby Lobby. Though Gassaway did not en- ter in contests he stated that he would after a few more years. Gassaway did pointilisms, ink, pencil drawings, and stain glass affects. He was also a skate- boarder and designed skateboards. Both Clark and Gassaway hoped to sell their work in the near future. They were also enrolled in art their senior year.

It was an international organi- zation, which taught reverence for God and respect for parents and guardians, for the flag of their nation, for the laws, rules and regulations of their country and of lob's Daughters. Each Bethel consisted of nineteen officers, five elected and fourteen appointed, and a choir. The offices went from Marshal, Guide, lunior Officer, Senior Officer and Honored Queen.

He purchasedi simple metal building, installed walls, drop ceiling, insulation and wired it him- self.

After paying his overhead, he modestly implied he earned a sizeable gain from his summer venture. On August 25, Summer Snow was closed. The building was put into storage, and like all sophomores, Darrel anxiously awaited his first day at Del City High.

Starting off with a semester of driver's education, sophomores soon learned the rules of the road and that driving was not just keeping the car on the road and in between the yellow lines. The driver edu- cation classes often had members of the law enforcement profession speak during class on the importance of being careful. Some of the topics for discussion were the use of drugs or alcohol by the driver or the passengers of the car. They tried to stress the importance of not drinking or taking drugs then driving. Films were of- ten used to show the consequences of get- ting behind the wheel and not being in control. The students were eager to try out the new simulation cars that were part of the major constructional changes for the school's new look. These facilities also made it easier for the teachers to monitor each student's progress. As in the past, the driver's education program was suc- cessful in teaching the students to be aware of all the possible joys and dangers of operating an automobile. 21 O Soph omoresf Driver s Education Fasten your seat belts Learning his necessary driving skills, Darrell Nasl concentrates on the sim ulation screen in Mr. Ma yn ard s drivers education class.

Students such as Eric Richardson, Scott Gassaway, Marcus Stanfill, Richard Valot, and Kevin Smith held a special interest in this new sport. When l went to California l thought it was really neat, replied Eric Richardson. He and the other four had been interested in skateboarding for two years and during the summer, built an eight foot high, l6 foot wide half-pipes in Eric's backyard. This ramp caught a lot of attention, and many more young peo- ple became more interested when they saw all the tricks that could be done. You can't just learn in a day, explained Eric, it takes lots of practice. Skateboarding looks like a very danger- ous sport, but many precautions are taken to insure safety, knee and elbow pads, padded shorts, and a helmet Coptionalj are all essential to the serious skateboarder. Eric and his friends want more people to become interested in skateboarding. Although anyone can skateboard, to be a serious skateboarder, Eric said, You've got to go at it with a whole heart.

Marc was an undefeated state champi- on in 8th grade, 4th at the high school state tournament 9th grade, and two na- tional championships in Greco wrestling, and has always been recognized as an outstanding wrestler. ln 7th grade he was on the T.V. show That's incredible and in the summer ot '85 he toured and wrestled throughout Europe tor two weeks with a club ot city wrestlers, the OCAC. Marc and his teammates tlew to London and then sailed to France. They toured Paris, and then held a duel with the wres- tlers trom Nice. From there they took a f 1 , l tw train to Rome where they visited such landmarks as the Vatican and the great Colliseum. Then they traveled through Venice where the wrestlers enjoyed shop- ping at St. Mark's Square. We were al- ways on the move, Marc said. Germany was the next stop tor Marcus and his team- mates where they wrestled a team from Munich. Atter the duel they went to Swit- zerland and toured the SWATCH factory and then back to Germany tor night. From there they went to Belguim and back to London tor one last match. During their stay in Europe, they won all their duels. Hopefully, it l'm good enough, one day l can go the Olympics, replied Marc, But it takes a lot ot determination and never giving up.

Clowning around, usually used as a cliche, was taken seriously by fifteen plus students this year. Del City's own Clown Troupe did their best to reach out and add color to others' lives. Their first appearance was in the 1985 Homecoming Parade which gave them a lot of exposure. Children delighted in the waving hands, silly smiles and most of all, the flying candy. Many hours were spent when getting ready for an appearance. Costumes were to be sewn and the make-up process en- tailed guite some time in itself. After pre- paring their special look, it was time to break out in smiles and laughter. The Clown Troupe's existence was not known to many. Although they operated seperate from the Drama Club, they were under the same constitution so, basically anyone could join. As Senior representa- tive, Stacie Kelly's job was to oversee the welfare of this organization. Goals includ- ed various parades, stores' grand open- ings, visiting children's wards in hospitals and nursing homes in the area, birthday parties and making everyone happy. Anyone could take part but three re- quirements were needed: time, energy and patience. As Stacie put it, We just want to make people smile. 2?-355 fist? 254:55- sm?

Spirit-Del City style came in various forms like giv- ing, helping, cheering and it even came in the form of a disguise. On many selected days you could find students in the hall dressed like nerds, bumbs, farmers and maybe even a mouse or two. Students even selected two guys to disguise themselves at the football games and pep assemblies. Butch Neuensch- wander and Wayne Westrope decorated the crowd and added life to the sidelines which Wayne commented, U . . . gets very cold but, l love it. Butch explained, l like having a good time. lt is a good way to show school spirit. Along with the police and fire depart- ment, the Senior class officers put the fun and safety back in to Halloween. Children were invited to the fieldhouse lobby to enjoy treats from Dracula, a crayon, a farmer, a gypsy and many more. When the Christmas season rolled round, the Dear Santa letters rolled in. Mrs. Dearing and her junior students took letters from Del City Elementary children and answered them. Them, one seeming- ly magical day, elves showed up in the wide-eyed childrens classroom. These elves were actually Del City students who brought sparkle to the little kids eyes. Who was that masked man? The answer to that question was quite simple - spirit in disguise.
