Growth Affects Toylor A big factor in the growth of school spirit was the increased enrollment as 1,551 students attended Taylor, 544 more than in 80-81. But enroll- ment couldn't take full credit. Most of the credit was due to the many organizations which matured with the addition of a senior class, fostering pride and participation among students. New organizations such as AFS, Newcomers Club and Junior Achievement flourished, adding a whole new dimension to the game. More established organizations were more active than ever. For the first time, the entire fine arts department combined its efforts to produce Oklahoma, an effort in which everyone at Taylor could take pride. Such cooperation allowed groups to reach out and involve more students than ever before. Learning a new game takes time. Taylor began learning the rules and walking through the game plan in 81-82. Rules had to be formulated to suit the players, making the year one of challenge and change. The players will change and the rules will be modified, but the game plan com- pleted for the first time in 1982 will serve well as a guide for the future.
