NOHi A. mhr gie€t% oU SI � kw. ov ft January 20, 1981, just 30 minutes after President Ronald Reagan took the oath of office former President Carter announced that the 52 American hostages held by Iranian Revolutionary government had been released. With teary eyes. President Carter said, I doubt if at any time in our history more prayers have reached Heaven. On November 4, 1979, the Islamic revolutionaries overran the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and took captive 66 of the Americans serving there. The revolutionaries did this in revenge to the medical help the U.S. was giving to the deposed Shah. Shortly after the takeover, the militants released five women and seven blacks. Richard Queen, ill with multiple sclerosis was released on July 20, 1980. On April 25, a rescue mission was aborted and eight U.S. airmen lost their lives. After this the Iranians moved the hostages to various parts of Iran. Iran engaged in war with Iraq on September 2 and at the time of the release. President Carter, along with Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, had worked each hour of the last week negotiating with the Iranian leaders so the President-elect Reagan would not have to deal with the Iranian Crisis. Their liberty was secured by giving $8 billion in frozen assets. The hostages left Tehran on January 20 and flew to Algiers and on to Weisbaden, West Germany, where American physicians and psychologists examined them. The hostages adjusted to their new freedom before returning to an ecstatic America. Sunday, January 25, the day the hostages flew home to American soil, churches all over the country rang their bells at 11:00 a.m. fifty-two times in honor of their dedicated countrymen and women. The homecoming was marked with flag flying and countless yellow ribbons tied on trees, poles, and people. With the Iranian crisis almost settled, President Reagan turned his attention to the longest and worst sustained inflation in our history. In his inaugural speech President Reagan encouraged Americans to face the inflationary crisis and give our best effort, our work, and our willingness to believe in ourselves then we can solve the problems which confront us. We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow. And let there be no misunderstanding we are going to act beginning today. at Having spent almost three months on vacation, August 26 brought the JHS students anxiously together to begin a new school year. The wide-eyed seventh graders traveled the halls cautiously. They soon mastered the sometimes stubborn locks and learned to jump at each bell ringing. The Seniors were just as anxious for this was their last year — but it was to be filled with lots of work as well as fun. The student body soon fell into a routine and attended good ’ol JHS learning and fraternizing Monday through Friday until May 29. Student Jobs Cause Monday Morning Blues! Monday not only signals the beginning of the school week but also the work week ahead for many of the students at JHS. In order to meet some of the cost of teenage life, many have had to find jobs. Student’s talents range anywhere from being a cashier to delivering pizzas. Most student employees worked after school and weekends and earned minimum wage which rose to $3.35 per hour. Benefits of having a job include learning a skill, gaining responsibility and earning extra cash. The disadvantages are missing school events and falling behind in school work. Many students find that they must choose between having a job and playing a sport or participating in a school club or activity. Some after school jobs can lead to an alternative for many students who wish to continue after they graduate and make it their career. The HERO and DECA programs gave students on-the-job training while attending school. They attended school for half the day and then were excused to go to work. After school jobs provide students with experience that will last a lifetime. Tuesday 8 Staying in Style! Filling closets this year were Izod and the Fox shirts and sweaters, coat vests, and designer jeans for both sexes. Calvin Klein and Gloria Vanderbilt jeans were quite popular as were Levi and Lee jeans. “Baggy” jeans and bibs were introduced in the Fall as a new fad. For the girls the hemline rose making the popular pleated skirts hit at about mid or just below the knee. As a result of the Women's Movement, the girls sported blazers either with slacks, skirts, or jeans. Tights and flat shoes were worn with skirts in place of the usual hose and high heels. The movie Urban Cowboy initiated the cowboy craze. Western boots, hats, and shirts teamed with jeans became instant hits. For the most part, jeans and a flannel shirt fit the bill. A View of Jackson Half Way Through Jackson County, located in Southeastern Ohio hill country was named for Andrew Jackson. The first settlers of the county were Welsh [people who recognized the valuable deposits of salt. The city of Jackson is the county seatland the largest municipality. According to the Chamber of Commerce, the population of the city in 1980 was on the decline. It stood around 6,670 from 6,893 in 1970, while the countylpopulation on the whole rose to around 30,601 Jackson continued to expand as a new Heck's Department Store was opened December 2, 1980, and a new wing was added to the Merillat industry. The city library (pictured middle of page) was moved from the second floor of the Memorial Building in 1975 to the renovated Shaffer Supermarket. The library has 33,113 volumes and participates in OVAL making possible many services for Jackson residents. The Memorial Building gym is the home court for the seventh grade basketball team. In the front part of the building are the city offices. This is the city police headquarters, and the mayor’s office. The economies of Jackson and Jackson county are based almost equally on manufacturing and ---,i + .. .14. vnco Entertainment Our Way Teenagers played a very important role in the entertainment industry. Money was usually spent on records, tapes, and the movies. The average cost of a date was around $10. This included the price of gas, approximately $1.25 a gallon, food and the cost of tickets, usually $3 a piece. New faces and issues appeared on the scene ranging from Star War’s Yoda to the question of who shot J. R. J.H.S. students were asked in a poll taken by the Osky-Wow staff to express their views on various subjects. Several observations were made from the results obtained. They are as follows: Friday Spirit Explosion We've got SPIRIT, yes we do. We’ve got SPIRIT, how about you? The people at JHS supported their team by showing you just how much spirit they had. Friday Pep Assemblies contained anything from a cheering contest to a sing-along led by the players. Signs hanging on lockers and banners in the hallways showed that the Ironmen meant real business. Red sweaters and jackets were found all around and ribbons were pinned on everything. The spirit was evident on game night when all came out and cheered the team to victory. Win or lose the Ironmen were always tops in our hearts. Bonfires lit up the sky as players, cheerleaders, band members and other supporters gathered round and psyched up the team for the oncoming event. Away from the school grounds the community participated with financial backing and moral support. Big V, Rip’em Tear'em up Red and Battlecry were some of the most popular cheers. The traditional fight song brought the crowd to its feet at every game and led the way to victory. Traditional JHS Every loyal son and daughter As the years go by Revere our Alma Mater, Dear old Jackson High. Proud she stands among the hills, May no infamy or shame Ever touch our Alma Mater, Or abase her spotless name. Let our memories and praises Soar in chorus to the sky. Hail to thee our Alma Mater Hail to thee, dear Jackson High. Hail fighting Ironmen On to victory. We've got the team boys. We've got loyalty. On toward that goal line Watch our colors fly We'll win the battle for Old Jackson High. Oh Jackson High, For you we'd die You'll win the game We have no fear. The Red and White How they can fight For you we'll give A rousing cheer. Go with that ball And see them fall, Come on we'll all Give the fighting cry. We'll stick together And fight forever For dear Old Jackson High. 16 17 Starting over Exciting year Very interesting Entirely fun Nice friends are made rrying different things Having a lot of fun Darrin Adams Renae Adams Troy Adams Keith Arthur Jon Baesman Barbie Balzer Missy Barlow Angela Beatty Julie Bennett Tim Bevins Bobbie Boggs Jeff Boggs 18 Seventh Carol Bobo Deanne Bragg Danny Browning Scott Brunton Darcy Burt Andrea Callahan Joey Camp Eric Carlisle Michael Carlson Jimmy Carper Byron Causey TrudiCavey Robyn Chilcote Lamura Church Crystal Cochran Kathy Collins Shayne Compston Charmarie Cooper Brian Daniels Glenn Davis Jill Davis Eric Dearth Kim DeMent Tim Dempsey MikeDePue Alan Dickerson Shelly Downey Tony Drake Tammy Dulaney Kim Duncan Cindy Farley m o % Rodney Ewing ¥ Kevin Erwin ,'K Morgan Evans Teresa Eldridge Seventh 19 David Freeland Richard Galiher Charles Garthee Kyle Gibson WKiM t • S ! ! f ill tM Me lla IM ill k __i k Barbie Hammond Mark Hammond Rina Harmon _i__— Todd Helman John Henderson Tammy Henderson Laura Henry Theresa Hicks Tammy Hill Teresa Hill Todd Hill Bryan Howell Lisa Houston Penny Israel Noel Janney Damon Hughes Brian Jarvis Melissa Hughs Eddie Humphrey Mike Johnson Stephanie Jones Stephanie Jordan Jeff Kerr Tammy King Kristen King Jerry Kisor Kristin Lambert 20 Seventh Jason Massie Leigh Anne Massie Janet Mercer Brian Miller Todd Miller Ricky Mitrikov Garry Montgomery Brian Moore Tommy Morris Robin Moyer v I Tammy Mullins Becky Muncy Michael Murphy Patricia Murphy Barbara McDaniel Leslie McWhorter Rachel Nichols Tim Nichols I John Orender Julie Osborne Melissa Parks Eddie Patton Karla Phoenix Seventh 21 Shayne Poe Mark Poetker Glenn Potter Shannon Prater Mark Quillen Braden Richards Christi Sheward Jenny Sheward Adam Smallwood Valerie Sowers Dale Spencer Danny Spencer Wanda Spires Stephanie Stevenson Jeff Stiffler Pat Stiltner Gary Stoneking Metisse Stover Matt Strawser Mia Taylor Darrin Thomas Missy Tipton lla Trace 22 Seventh Chris Wolford Tina Wolford Valerie Wolford Joseph Wright Kim Wright Sarah Wyatt Floyd Yates Kevin Zachariah Joanne Zimmerly Christy Zinn Patsy Miller President — Theresa Hicks V.

While at Heidelberg, he falls in love with a waitress named Kathie. After only four months at Heidelberg his grandfather, the King, becomes ill and he must return to Carlsberg to claim his inheritance and to marry his cousin Princess Margaret.

As the equipment was brought onto the field August 6 to begin two-a-days, there was one goal in sight for the hardworking group of young men — a league championship. The season opener with Portsmouth proved disappointing with the Ironmen losing their first game 0-20. Although many fans felt the letdown so early in the season could be dangerous, there was no discouragement shown on the practice field the following week. The Ironmen weren’t losing again. The Ironmen progressed through the season beating Wheelersburg 27-6 and Miller 30-12. They opened league play the Friday night of the Apple Festival with state champions the Ironton Tigers, the only team keeping them from a league championship the year before. After one of the hardest fought battles in many years, the game ended a 7-7 tie. The only thing separating the Ironmen from a league championship was a loss which seemed very unlikely. 4 1.

A big win over Gallipolis 17-2 sent the Ironmen hot on the trail of every other team in the league. Next came Waverly 21-6, Athens 19-2, Meigs 16-6, and Logan 27-0. The last game of the season was with county rivals the Wellston Rockets on Halloween night — only one game away from the championship. Though the Ironmen were highly favored, the Rockets would stop at nothing to keep Jackson from a title. Throughout what could have been the toughest game of the season, the Ironmen prevailed winning the game 10-0 and also capturing the SEOAL co-championship after 11 years of hopeful waiting sharing it only with the Ironton Tigers. Although the Ironmen did not go to the state play-offs, they ended a very successful season 8-1-1. 92 i 1.

The court members were escorted across the field by their fathers while Mr. D. Merrill Davis sang Sweetheart of Jackson High with the Senior Marching Band accompanying. Mike Davis, Student Council President, presented each of the girls with a rose bouquet and crowned the Queen, Missy McCorkle. Members of the court were: Jami Cox and Molly Trepanier, Senior attendants; Trudi Flaker and Anna Romeo, Junior attendants; Robin Meyer, Sophomore attendant; and Kathy Malone, Freshman attendant.

The student body chose the queen and court in the following manner: Each person in grades 9-12 submitted one girl’s name from their grade. These were tabulated and a ballot was prepared containing the 5 or 6 girls who received the highest total of votes. Then each student received a Senior class ballot and a grade ballot. These were then totaled and the court was announced with the queen announced during the ceremonies. 1. The auditorium was decorated in the colors of autumn for the dance.

Coach Eisnaugle stated, “They needed to depend more upon each other as a team not individuals.” The team had a tendency to get down easy after their opponents had scored and couldn’t remember their offensive or defensive assignments. The Logan game will be remembered as their outstanding game. The team returned to the field after halftime, down by a score of 8-18 with a determined feeling. The defense did a great job keeping Logan from scoring a single point in the second half and the offense diligently put 20 points on the board to win their final game 28-18. The coaches for the 1980 season were Mike Eisnaugle and Dennis Reinhart. Members of the 1980 Eighth Grade Team shown below are: Row 1: Randy Smith, Jeff Smith, Steve Williams, Brad McCorkle, Randy Fulton, Brad Jenkins, Sherm Stevenson, Scott Wyant, Alan Riegel, Scott Lambert and Greg Moore.

The practices started two weeks before school began and with each practice the work-load became increasingly more difficult. This resulted in a very good winning season. This year’s team, overall, was very young. Only one Senior participated on the team; this gives the seasons to come a very good outlook. This year’s team also had two girls on the roster, Becky Arnold and Brenda Reed. Becky placed 59th in the district Cross Country meet held in Columbus, Ohio. 1. Becky Arnold placed 139 out of 310 at the sectional tournament. 2. The 1980 Cross Country Team: Front Row: Dave Britt, Brent Richards, Rocky Leach, and Brenda Reed.

An important skill to be mastered is the serve. To serve correctly the ball is hit by the right back player behind the baseline, it must travel over the net and be in the opposing team’s court. Speed and strength aid in good serves. To return the serve a player tries to set up the ball by hitting it high and closer to the net with their fingertips so that the forwards (the three team members closest to net) can ‘spike it. A “spike” is when a player hits the ball with a lot of force at the feet of the opponent. The returning can also bump the ball by directing the ball off the forearms and is used to return a spike or serve. The team had a disappointing season as they did not win a match; but satisfying as they learned the basics to develop in further years. 1 Coach Dorsey.

The spikers also won 18 of 25 matchups overall. In the league their record was an impressive 11-3. “Floor play is better than any past team,” Coach Chuck Dorsey commented. As the season progressed the team's spiking, serving and setting ability also improved. Team captain Cheryl Leach received the Captain's plaque at the Fall Sports Banquet. Junior Tami Haller was honored with the Blocker award. Sophomore Cindy Dorsey earned the Spiker award and was recognized for being on the SEOAL Second Team. Sophomore Amy Davis received an award for her excellent serving ability and being chosen SEOAL Honorable Mention.

Money-raising projects such as bake sales and garage sales were planned and carried out to help pay for cheerleading camp. The camp the girls attended was at Wittenburg University and sponsored by the National Cheerleading Association. At camp the varsity squad was chosen as one of the top 5 from the 50 or so squads attending. The girls returned to Jackson, practiced more then began an exciting football season. Pep assemblies, bon fires and game days kept the girls busy. The squad received 2nd place in the Apple Festival Cheerleading Tournament held in Jackson. No sooner did the football season end; then the busy basketball season began. The girls now prepared special cheers to perform during quarters and time-outs. The three juniors and three seniors worked hard and their bubbling spirit raised the spirit of both the teams and the fans. 1.

Kelli was chosen at the beginning of the year after trying out. All through football season she cheered and lifted the crowd spirit wearing her Ironman uniform, cheering with the varsity cheerleaders. Kelli assisted at basketball games by selling programs at the door. Spirited Kelli had a busy year being the JHS Ironman mascot. JV Squad Cheers With Spirit! The JV squad was an energetic crew. As there were not many JV football games, the girls cheered with the varsity squad during football season. The squad competed in the Apple Festival competition after bringing home superior ratings from camp. Basketball season was busy as the girls cheered for the JV boys in games preceding the varsity games. 1. Becky Clark, Stefanie Lanier, Lisa Humphreys, Kim Boroff, Genia Crabtree and Melody Lewis. 2.

They began the year early by having money-making projects to help with cost of camp. At camp the girls learned many cheers and chants which they used at all freshman football and basketball games. During the spring the squad and other freshman girls prepared for tryouts which were held in early May. Front: Kelly Moore. Middle: Jeri Cox, Renee Varcalle.

Out of both squads, there were only three returning cheerleaders, so they mainly started from “scratch” and looked up to the older cheerleaders for assistance. By the end of the year the new ones had learned what it took to be a cheerleader, and what it was like to work together as a squad. Eighth — L-R: Kim Wiley, Pam Shumate, Missy Chandler, Stephanie Fenik, Leslie Taylor, Geri Landrum. Seventh — L-R: Tammy Hill, Juli Hale, Sheri Leach, Lori Lyons, Kristie Ridge, Penny Isreal.

Practices were filled with skill-work more than strategy-work. .•The team was young, yet Coach Conkey said that each girl worked hard during both practice and games. Winning was not the main goal for this team as first they needed to develop skills. 1 The 1980-81 Girls Junior Varsity Basketball Team Included: Row 1: Manager Mary Dowles. Rhonda Mullins.

Rose was eighth in the league in scoring with a 14.1 points per game average. She won a spot on the SEOAL All-League Second Team. The Ironladies began the season with their strong point being a good defense. As the season progressed, excessive turnovers cost the team points. The young team showed noted improvement though as Coach Chuck Dorsey commented, “We ended up the season pretty well by winning three out of our last four-” In the first tournament game Jackson outscored the Scioto Northwest Mohawks 49-31. The Wheelersburg Pirates defeated the Ironladies in the sectional tournament held at Portsmouth High School by a score of 47-31. Cindy Dorsey received SEOAL All-League honorable mention and the Most Improved Player Award at the basketball banquet. Rose Stiffler was awarded the Most Valuable Player Award and a plaque for being the team captain. Kathy Juhasz was presented the Defensive Player Award for her efforts throughout the year.

The began the season with long, grueling practices which included a lot of fundamental work and running. After scrimmage against North Gallia. Ripley, and Amanda Clearcreek the team opened their regular season with a 73-64 victory over the Minford Falcons. The 1980-81 team had a balanced offensive attack as Milburn. Morrow, and Collins each averaged 18. 13. 12 points per game respectively. The rebounding department was led by Milburn, who was 3rd in the league in rebounding. As a team, Jackson had the least rebounds of any SEOAL team. The third quarter proved to be disastrous for the Ironmen in many games but not once did they give up in a game. In the Gallipolis game at Gallipolis the Ironmer fought hard causing the game to go into overtime. They lost but gained respectability in the league. The Logan home game also stands out as a toughly fought game bu the Ironmen came out on top this time 49-46. The Ironmen won their first tournament game in six years when they downed the Portsmouth West Senators 56-53 in the quarter-final game of the sectional tourna ment at Portsmouth High School. In that game. Milburn led the offensive attack with 21 points and pulled down 9 rebounds. Morrow hit for 15 important points, including the first 8 points of the 3rd quarter. In the second round the team faced the Minford Falcons. Rick Milburn was chosen to the 1980-81 SEOAL first team basketball squad after finishing fourth in the league in scoring and third in rebounding. He was only th« second Jackson player in ten years to make all league first team. He was also selected to be on the Southeastern Ohio District team. He was later honored by receiving honorable mention status on the Class AA ALL-Ohio Associated Press's Basketball Team. At the Basketball banquet he was presented with the most valuable player award. Best Rebounder. John Morrow, a great shooter under pressure clenched the Logan game with a buzzer shot to bring the score to 60-59. John lettered two years and received the Defensive Award from Coach Hodson at the banquet. Allen Collins, only a sophomore, was still one of Jackson's stronger players. During the mid-season he ranked ninth in scoring for the league. Unfortunately, his scoring dropped after he suffered an injury. He is a very agressive player, and received Honorable Mention to the SEOAL basketball team. Allen received an award for the best free-throws at the basketball banquet. Mike Davis saw more and more action on the court as the season progressed. Because of his improvement, he was awarded The Most Improved Player. Mark Fenik aided the team with his quickness, aggressiveness, and great spirit. He received the Hustle Award from Coach Hodson. 5 6 Season 1. Sitting: Allen Collins, Todd Davis. Matt Bonzo.

The season was marked with some very close losses, and some tough wins. The team entered the third annual Jackson Invitational Freshman Tournament with a 6-7 record. They defeated Waverly in the tournament opener with a score of 43-27 to advance to the semi-finals. In that round, the team defeated Wellston in what Coach Morrow said was “Our best effort of the year. Gallipolis defeated Jackson 43-27 in the finals to win the tournament. Frank Edgington was selected to be in the all-tournament team for his outstanding play. Frank also led Jackson during the regular season along with Jeff Davis. Each averaged approximately 14 points per game. Starting for the team were Joe Wyant and Jeff Davis playing at the guard positions, Frank Edgington and Mark Haynes were forwards, and Scott Kight player at center. 1. 1st Row: Rob Wolford, Guy Welch.

Coach Maurice Napper described the team as “coachable, well disciplined, and a competitive bunch of boys.” This was the second year that coach Napper has worked with this group and feels that many players have natural shooting talent and were willing to practice extra so that the team had a real good shooting percentage. A versatile and hard working defense contributed to the wins; but many of the games were close. The best game of the season was against Logan, at Logan. It was in Coach Napper’s opinion the hardest fought game and thus the most worthwhile victory. Although the seventh grade team won only three of eleven games, they put forth a lot of effort as a team. I think our team is better than our 3-8 record indicated. They had a really good team effort. More than five kids started different games,” explained Coach Kevin Rice. When asked which game was the most outstanding, he commented, “Our Wellston game. There was a very good team effort. Everybody played aggressively.” The young Ironmen came out on top 40-20 in that game. Starting center Brian Moore had this to say about the season, “We did OK, we learned a lot.” All in all it seems that the young Ironmen did gain experience from their season and they will be prepared for next year. 116 Jr. High Basketball 1 Steve Williams steps to the line to shoot for two in a home game against Wellston. 2 The 8th Grade Team: Kneeling: Steve Williams.

The season didn't progress with wins like the first one. but the team played a total of 17 games and ended with a 7-10 overall score and 4-9 in the Southeastern Ohio League In tournament play Jackson only got to play in one game and was downed by Wheelersburg 1-10. Three games were noted as being close and ' tough'' games. The Wellston game at Wellston required Jackson to come back from a 1-6 score after 4 innings They did it by scoring three runs in both the fifth and sixth innings. The Waverly game at Waverly was a neck-to-neck race until the ninth inning where Jackson pulled away to end with an 11-7 score. Coach Reynolds praised the boys for the good offensive performance. Tim Shook, in what Coach Reynold's called His best of the season hurled a 2-hitter at Gallipolis to make that game stand out in the season. Dave Fouty also added to the victory by hitting a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning. The offense was described by Reynolds as being real good but the defense was marked by too many errors. Pitching wasn't what it could have been by pitchers Collins. Shook, Luster. Cremeans. and Wood. Dave Fouty was voted the Most Valuable Player and was selected to the 1st team in the SEOAL. John Hale was rewarded for his season improvement with the Most Improved Player Award Captains for the team were Rick Milburn and David Fouty.

Senior VIP's 161 Senior Week Starts With Baccalaureate On May 17, 1981, the traditional Baccalaureate service was held in the school auditorium. As minutes ticked by teachers and Seniors frantically lined up in the cafeteria. At exactly 7:30 p.m. the Seniors proceeded down the aisles of the auditorium to the theme of “War March of the Priests.” After the invocation, the Glee Club sang a few numbers and scripture was read by Rev. Nathan Thomas. The Baccalaureate sermon was given by Rev. Robert J. Johnson. After the Benediction the Seniors began the recessional back up the aisles. The Baccalaureate signaled the beginning of the week filled to the brim with things to do. It was a time of exams, camera flashes, presents, rehearsals, laughter, frustration, and even more rehearsals. The time had come and the class of ’81 was ready. 1 Sandra Warrens, John Morrow, Alice Newkirk, Craig Souders and Pat Perry line up for the Processional. 2 Sam Brackman takes a 'break' before his journey. 3 Andrea Asbury, Diane Lewis, Sue Galbraith, Patty Siders and LeeAnn Channel prepare for the ceremonies. 162 Baccalaureate A Unique Senior Breakfast Spirits were flying high for the morning of the Senior Breakfast. Thoughts of excitement and anticipation were going through all of the Seniors’ minds. The annual Cereta Coll Breakfast took place on the early morning of May 22, 1981 in the school cafeteria. After all of the Seniors had filed in and been seated they were served breakfast by some of the Senior mothers. Class President Daphne Underwood and her Mother, Mrs. Roxie Underwood, both gave remarks on the meaning of graduation. A quartet made up of Tim Muffley, Brian Wood, Lori Con-grove and Brenda Pauley then sang the class song “The Best of Times,” A special number of “Hello Mothers” and “Graduation Day” were sung by a Senior Chorus group. A special senior who attended the breakfast was Chris Coll, grandson of the late Cereta Coll, the founder of the Breakfast. After the closing remarks, the seniors left and prepared for the popular Senior Assembly. 1 President Daphne Underwood gives the opening remarks. 2 Lori Congrove and Sherri Evans file in under the archway. 3 Mike Bowman, Tim Muffley, Brian Wood, Tim Creameans, Sherri Evans, Chris Exline, Tina Bartlett, and Brenda Pauley give their own special rendition of Hello Mothers.

The Senior assembly immediately followed the breakfast. After all the meetings, hours of practice, and doubts of whether we could really do it or not, the show was ready. It was time to “get crazy.” Our very own Senior musicians got things rolling by getting everyone up and clapping and stomping their feet to some good ole’ rock-n-roll music. Then came the long awaited Senior film that demonstrated the great acting abilities of the Seniors. Following this were such acts as No-Q, 81c Beauty Show, Dolly Parton Look-a-like Contest, the Unknown Senior, a Senior dance number, the Doctor is In, Send In the Clowns, an Eating Contest, Rocky Top, and Senior Wishes. In between each act a commercial was presented. We saw everything from ‘Mean Joe Green' and Cathy Rigby to a Short Shorts, Kool-Aid and Oscar Meyer. But the tears of laughter soon turned to tears of sadness as class President Daphne Underwood presented to the Juniors the class key. The key symbolized all of our hopes, dreams, and memories that had taken place at JHS. Feelings of emotion were felt by all as the Class of 1981 gathered together and sang “The Best of Times’’ for the final time. i Sieve Brandt. Beau Carper, and Chuck Stapleton perform for the rowd. Lori Congrove, Chris Exline and Tina Bartlett show how much hey look like Dolly Parton. The Seniors perform their very own disco dance.

Milestone Achieved By Graduates Commencement exercises for 170 Seniors began at 7:30 P.M. on Friday, May 22, 1981. Under sunny skies Rev. Donald Silverthorne gave the invocation followed by Brenda Pauley giving her Salutatory address. Valedictorians Beth Carlisle and Julie Miller each delivered their speeches. A group of Seniors comprised the Senior Chorus under the direction of Raymond Lynn Boothe. They sang “Sunrise, Sunset with Lori Congrove as accompanist. Dr. Max Evans, Professor of Education at Ohio University, gave a most interesting address using the topic — Milestones. Dr. Evans recalled the year 1963, the year many of the Seniors were born; he pointed out these things — President Kennedy was assassinated, the Beverly Hillbillies was the top TV program, and gasoline was a quarter a gallon. He challenged the Seniors to look towards the future and that each one needs to do his her part in solving the inevitable problems that will arise. Superintendent John Worthington and Assistant Superintendent Jack Coyan presented diplomas to each graduate. The Benediction was given by Rev. James C. Gleaves to end the exercises.

We each arrived on the scene ready for work but empty-handed, expecting everyone else and his brother to bring the needed materials. Then came the scavenger hunt; to beg, borrow, or steal anything that could be found, which wasn’t much. We were almost ready to give up when Mr. McCorkle appeared with all needed materials. The booth was then amazingly assembled. After several evenings on decorating, the miracle happened: it was finally ready for display. Finding people to work was no problem — everyone wanted to work during school hours. It became the gathering place for Seniors during the 4-day festival. This is just one of the many memories the class of ’81 will never forget. 1. After many hours of hard work, the Class of ‘81 Senior Booth was ready for display. 2. Duane Clark.

Thank you the Osky Wow Staff YOUR HOMETOWN Patrons Mr. and Mrs. Robert Munn Mr. and Mrs. Tom Slater PIZZA HUT Mr. and Mrs. George Davis Mr. and Mrs. Richard M. Eubanks Mr. and Mrs. John F.

Main St. Students: Sarah Chapman Dee Dee and Dan Jackson, Ohio Kara Buchanan phone 286-6311 194 195 THIS HAS BE When the 1981 Osky Wow was finally signed, sealed and delivered the entire staff breathed a sigh of relief. Countless hours of time, work and energy have been put into this annual. The editors have faced everything from being the target of flying golfballs to being accused by the police of trespassing. Many different changes can be seen in this year's book. The staff thinks that they were all for the better and we hope that you agree. We now take time to thank those who helped make the 1981 yearbook possible. Ray’s Store, Mark Wood, Lear’s Photography, Photographer’s IV, and the Jackson Publishing Company for supplying us with all available pictures when ours weren’t so great. Also, a note of thanks to the businesses and patrons who purchased ads and advertisements. Next we thank Mr. Slater and Mrs. Eubanks for their guidance throughout the year. Without the help of Mr. Slater in the darkroom and Mrs. Eubanks in the staffroom we never could have made it. A very deep thanks to Mr. Clarence Rice, Kenny Moon and Robert Naugle for their creative artwork and drawings found in this book. To our staff, we deeply appreciate the time and hard work that each of you devoted to the Osky Wow. Without your support and dedication this yearbook would have been impossible. Last but not least we express our deepest thanks to each of you who purchased a 1981 Osky Wow. We hope that you feel that you got your money’s worth. ...

Britain’s Prince Charles announces engagement to Lady Diana Spencer... News from around the world was often the topic of conversation around school but the news we liked to hear concerned the events in which we participated. We were ecstatic about the SEOAL co-football championship and sad about the loss to Ironton. We might soon forget about the hostages’ release or the happenings across the nation but we would not forget the classes, people or activities that made up the year. SPECIAL REPORT 200 JE FAREWELL
