n grade school, it was recess that held the school day together. It was a sense of release from the worry and care. Fifteen minutes of just plain fun. In high school that sense of release was magnified in those periods of time measured in days or weeks when the hands of the clock whirled around so fast it had to be wrong. Christmas vacation and spring break were the 'biggies but just as appreciated were the senior trip, Sadie Hawkins, the band trip to Six Flags, teacher's meetings. Labor Day, half days for parent-teacher conferences and even getting out at 2:00 for the homecoming parade. While the Explorers skied during Christmas, Kim Koehn, Shelly Molidor, Mrs. Judy Dobbs, Jim Fast, Tina McDaugale, Ron Webber, Randy Patzkowski and Pam Cravens found the snow better during spring break. Even though most of the short holidays are spent working (mothers tend to keep a list of chores for just these emergencies), the longer ones held added attractions like ski trips to Colorado, and New Mexico and trips to Six Flags over Texas. Kay Vogt spent Christmas in the Domicnican Republic visiting her missionary brother. On her way home, She stopped in Florida to see O.U. play in the Orange Bowl. 'My trip to San Fransisco was fun even though it rained the whole time we were there,' commented Mrs. Jimmie Lou Ward. 'She's got a great 'personality' and she is a lot better looking in real life, said Joe Meador after taking 78 pictures of Suzanne Summers from his second row seat at World of Fun in Missouri on Labor Day. Becky Mabry went to Japan to see her relatives that she had never seen before. Among the many unfamiliar customs, Becky thought the worst thing was the muskoto mushi (squat toilets.) But she loved Japan and the people and hopes to return there someday. Days Out HEAVE HO!

ry to fit four banquets-Jr. Sr., All- Sports, Band, FFA—the state track meet, Tri-State, Homework, cleaning out lockers, locating lost coats, paying overdue library, shop, and sports fees, graduation, plus semester tests into 15 days, and it's call the month of May. Members of the boys and girls track team went to the state track meet only to hurry back for the Jr. Sr. Banquet that very same evening. At the banquet they found themselves walking into a world of steamboats, hoop skirts, and plantations. Banquet guests were served by black faced sophomores fitting into the banquet's southern theme. Recovering from their southern meal, the All-Sports Banquet occurred. Jim Fast received the Joe Jordan Award and Richard Marlatt, the George Eubanks Football Award, after listening to the keynote speaker, OSU football coach, Jimmy Johnson. On Saturday, May 9, the band marched in the Tri-State parade, then had their Awards Banquet that evening. Angela Countryman was crowned queen by Jim Fast. At the FFA Banquet, Melonie Cross was crowned FFA Sweetheart. The Kevin Nickle Award went to FFA president Dawson Bowers and the Glen Rusch Award went to Jim Fast. Class Night had a quiet start because the P.A. didn't work. With Mr. Denton's help, Kirk Priddy and Randy Patzkowski fixed it and the Hee Haw show continued. As the seniors spent a leisurely day at Roman Nose State Park, Pope John Paul II was shot twice during an assassination attempt. Graduation ceremonies were held on May 15, in the high school gym after the rain spoiled the plans of having it outside. School was dismissed for everyone who didn't have to take semesters, except the yearbook staff who slaved on trying to meet the final deadline. MAY FIDDLIN' FOOL. Toni Jantz laughs at her own jokes before entertaining the audience with her fiddle on the Hee Haw Class Night production. CROWNING OF THE QUEEN. New Vice-President Jeff Wilson escorted Mel Cross at the FFA Banquet. Mel was crowned 1982 Queen by out-going President Dawson Bowers. 30 Student Life
