er or The already long hours in class grew seemingly even longer as spring fever tooK hold of the students. Unpredictable Oklahoma weather tried all its stunts-warm, then cold; no rain for months, then more rain than ever before. Plans for outdoor activities were often changed at the last minute. The National Honor Society's picnic for the teachers came on a night of record cold. A week later the freshmen had a beautiful night for their class party. Seniors had to change their plans for a day's outing at Roman Nose to an all- day party at the bolwing alley. Tne juniors had a great evening for decorating the fair building into Venetian splendor. But the next night rain oured during the anquet and prom. The baseball and track teams sometimes had more trouble with the weather than with their opponents. It was a warm day and all the windows in the school were open as the seniors took final exams. Maybe that was one reason the sound of Stecklein's stereo seemed so loud in the building that Chris was sent home to turn it off. Besides the weather, other events affected all lives. Everyone was shocked at the death of comedian John Belushi, and when Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands. A fire in the school's boiler room caused little damage because of quick response from the fire department.

SILHOUETTES. The darkened shapes of the mile relay team are formed by the sun as they received their first place medals. ange oi 'Man, there's going to be a lot of blue and gold around pointed out Darin Miller after his leg of the mile relay. The school colors were still orange and black, but the blue and cold All-State colors hacf taken over in the eyes of the boy's track team as they were proclaimed 1982 Class A Champions. First places taken by Randall Fast in the 330 intermediate hurdles; Andy Shewey in the mile run and high jump; the two mile relay team of Bill Frerichs, Kevin Helton, David Miller, and Guy Swanson; and the mile relay team of Mike Colvin, Darin Miller, Fast, and Swanson defined this as a team effort. Their 58 points doubled Chandler's 29 second-place points. Adding points to the championship were Bill Frerichs and David Miller with 2nd and 3rd in the olors 880 run, and Kevin Helton and Andy Shewey placing 4th and 5th in the two mile run. On the girl's team, Janie Edwards finished 6th in the shot put, and the sprint relay team of Sally Davis, Suanne Wymer, Dedra Meador, and Pam Brown took fifth. 'It hurts,' gasped Andy Shewey to a supportive friend while laboring off the field after winning the mile run. 'But,' he added between breaths, 'it's worth it.' It was a worthwhile experience for all the team whether competing on the field or supporting from the sidelines or nearby tent. As the season started, it ended — as swiftly as one of the state runners crossing the finish line. OFF AND RUNNING. David Miller takes the handoff from Kevin Helton in the two mile relay.
