This was how everyone felt on Au- gust twenty-seventh and twenty- eighth, as hundreds of students filled the halls and cafeteria waiting to en- roll. Enrollment was the most dread- ed event of the new year. It was that time again, and on Sep- tember 2 it was back to the old daily routines. Whether students went to school and then participated in a sport, or activity, or worked instead, everyone had a full schedule. A regular school year had begun?! Or was it regular?

Thomas with her reputa- tion, enthusiasm, and leadership changed the whole appearance of the school. To the people of the com- munity the school appeared revital- ized. New rules were made and old ones given new life. A school board deci- sion lengthened the academic day for juniors and seniors. juniors now took a full six period day and seniors were in class for five periods. Tardy policies were strictly enforced. Peo- ple were seen running down the halls, full speed ahead, to get to class on time. Instruction became the most important focus in the classrooms. The new seniors took their posi- tion and provided the needed leader- ship. Everyone had a sense of be- longing to something worth while. In academics, sports, and organi- zations students put forth efforts and saw results. The general attitude was pride in being students in the 1986-87 school year. Tara Wilson SENIOR SPIRIT!

Students were striving hard. They excelled in classes, set goals for sports teams, and put forth efforts in clubs in order to help the school or community. Involvement in school functions was im- portant to most, even though they looked at them differently. Freshmen, unsure of them- selves and new to high school, worked to prove their enthusiasm. They saw the impor- tance of class work, joined various clubs, and went out for sports from the first of the year. Sophomores and juniors were more confident. They were for the most part, al- ready established in their chosen sport or extra-curricular activities. They saw changes in their grades as work amounts increased and usually became harder. Seniors had made it! They were finally the leaders. They uveabg of Th gm. took on challenges of new activities and finished four year commitments. Through- out the entire year they looked toward graduation while they earned their final credits. In academics higher standards were set and more demands made. However, most students eventually adjusted. There was a higher enrollment in advanced placement CAPJ classes by upper classmen than in pre- vious years. This showed the dedication of the students to 'their education because harder classes meant more efforts. Sports teams worked to accomplish goals they set for themselves early in the year. Their high aspirations brought them to vic- tories and helped them through defeats. The football team over the course of two years showed a marked improvement from no wins to a much improved season. Clubs and organizations came through strong with new challenges for the school through sponsored programs. The Fellow- ship of Christian Athletes started the FCA Bear spaces. With this each group signed up for some specific area and took on the task of redecorating it in order to improve the look of the school building. Cash prizes were awarded to the clubs having done the best work. The 1986-87 year, in all areas, was defi- nitely a winner. And now it's time for Bear- ing it all and telling how it was. Tara Wilson Theme O 5 With about 1300 students en- rolled, there was constant activity in classes, clubs, and sports. Individual personalities and a wide range of extra-curricular choices made it possible for all to be in- volved in some degree of school life. Everyone could enjoy common interests and participate in various functions. Some of the best were scheduled weeks sponsored by the P51460 Li! Student Council such as Howdy Week. Homecoming Week, and Twirp Week. They planned a spe- cific and supervised recreation for each day, and usually each evening. Sports people had everyday prac- tices during season, plus tourna- ments, and fall and spring banquets in which awards were presented. Clubs scheduled weekly meetings, various parties, or get-togethers, and 60A Flash Of Life SENIORS, SENIORS, ALL RIGHT!

On the more serious side there were those evenings spent simply studying for a big test, plus doing day to day homework and projects. Students raced through the year experiencing A Flash of Life in their lives each day. Now to tell the story of those activities it's time to start Bearing It All. It's important to get involved in school life during high school in or- der to get the most out of it. You meet new people, experience new things that will be yours for life. Marco Columbus, senior I think it's important to be active in school life because it prepares you for the future. Stephanie Redburn, lunior - . HOWDY WEEK. Funfilled activities highlight Howdy Week.

Bearing It All O7 june, july, Or August Students Were All Living The Eas Life Whether it was on a hot, white sun- drenched beach near the Gulf, high in the Rockies beside a clear mountain stream, or just in bed until late into the day, summer was enjoyed by almost everyone. Many students had the easy life, but oth- ers were busy working those three short months. This summer was boring because I was forced to work, said Scott Symes. Crandall Brown agreed saying the summer was too short because he, too, had to work. He had a job at Little Caesar's Pizza. Others enjoyed easier summer jobs. Life- guarding was popular with students Lori Matthews, Kenny McConkey, and jill McPherson. Sheri Butler said, It was fung you get paid to get a tan.

Robert said, I feel like I missed summer. Karen Chandler was also involved in school related activities. She, Robert Hill, and Diedra Patton all par- ticipated in the All Star Marching Band in August. Traveling was a major part of the sum- mer's activities. Sean McCoy enjoyed a birthday celebration in Hawaii while Derek Cozzens was an exchange student in France. South Padre Island was a popular place for students. Katie Nigh, Bonnie Waters, Steph- anie Booth, Stephani Robinson, jill Lyon, and Sarah Porter all visited the beach in South Texas. Erin Fowler went south of the border to Mexico while Steve Sanders was north in Canada where he got to use his French. Karlesse Williams visited the West Coast where she had fun in the sun. Greg Hawkins said, Summer went by so fast. He was in Philadelphia for a month visiting his father. Closer to home were Erin Lynch and Koby Grissom who spent many weekends at the lake. Other students found excitement near home. john Randolph's summer con- sisted of having three wrecks and getting thrown out of Turner Falls while skinny- dipping with Billy Greenwood, Thomas Hart, Mike Parrott, and Craig Pierce. Tanica Price's most interesting summer experience was being locked out of her own house for a week while her parents were out of town. The majority of students worked hard or played hard, but others used the vacation for rest and relaxation. I don't even remember summer. I was asleep. said Michelle Craw- ford. Valenthia Doolin summed up her sum- mer by saying. It was the summer before my senior year. It gave me time to collect my thoughts about the upcoming year. Sarah Porter RELAXATION AT ITS BEST.

Hordes of stu- dents dotted the front yard of school, clutching little brown envelopes containing schedule information which guaranteed them survival of yet another arena enroll- ment. What has to be everyones least favorite part of summer went fairly smoothly this year, except for the usual complaints. It took longer this year and it was really confusing. said sophomore Erica Breath. Junior Marty Wade had similar problems. The waiting was too long CI was 41351 and it ruined my morning. Sophomore LaToya Williams had an even more common attitude. It was great seeing all my friends, but I still don't like school. For freshmen, enrollment was a chance to meet their teachers and other students and familiarize themselves with the school. Enrollment day was an exciting, scary day for me. Not only was I getting my classes but it was my very first step of high school. I felt so lost. said Keisha johnson. Because of a different arrangement this year, freshmen Cinstead of seniorsj were the first to enroll. This caused some mixed feel- ings. Even though there were no real class conflicts Csince ninth and twelfth graders take totally different classesj, some seniors, like Treva Crawford, were upset. We've been going here for years waiting until we're finally seniors and get to enroll first, and then they let the freshmen go be- fore us-it wasn't really fair. Sophomores were also slightly disap- pointed by the fact that they Cagainj were enrolling last. We had to enroll last Cagainj and a lot of the classes were closed, it was really a has- sle. stated Stacy Baker. Overall, enrollment went as well as could be expected,-Iunior Derrick Cozzens said, I think it could have been run a lot better, but it got the job clone. Junior Steve Maddex summed up the day in the voice of the majority. I really don't remember much about enrollment day. It was the first time all summer that I had gotten up before 12:30, so I was walking around still half asleep! Stephanie Booth , ,, I ,L-as K , Al JUST MAKING SURE.

What is that irritating whiny sound? Suspiciously, you eye the remains of your alarm clock. No, that baby's past-tense. You reluctantly open your eyes and try to find where it's coming from. It's now being ac- companied by an incessant pounding on your door. Uh oh. You cringe. This is what you were afraid of. It's your mother, and it's time to get up and go you-know-where. 7:20. You grab your decoy equipment which allows you to pose as a student fbackpack, books, unfinished homeworkj and head out the door, either to that huge moving fall-out shelter falso known as a school busj or to your car.

You haul it up the stairs to your first hour, amazed that you can actually move that fast so early in the morning. You force yourself to remember social skills and converse with other students as long as you can handle it. 8:15. Your best friend hits you over the head with her 12-pound chemistry book, thoughtfully reminding you to wake up. You're only allowed to sleep in school if you can keep your eyes open. 8:45.

X-f Student Council Made Starting Back To School Easier With A Traditional Welcoming-'- Welcoming everyone back for a new year is what Howdy Week is all about. Sponsored by the Student Council, and set in the first month of school, Howdy Week was a planned week of activities and festivities. It also served as a perfect opportunity to catch up with old friends and make plenty of new ones. You see people in a new element, away from school, and it's easier to talk to them, explained senior Monica Naukam. Sophomore Barbie Barton agreed. All the events allow freshmen, sophomores, ju- niors, and seniors to attend, so you can meet people from all grades. It's also a time to see your friends and talk to them for longer than passing time and lunch. Howdy Week activities varied from day to day, and there seemed to be something for just about everyone, including Red and Blue Day, an ice cream social at This Can't Be Yogurt , Crazy Day and Godfather's Pizza and a midnight movie after a winning foot- ball game Friday night. Senior Laurel Robison enjoyed the fslightly rainyj hayride the most. It was adventuresome, action-packed, and kind of scary, which brought everybody closer to- getherf' Others, like junior Athena Day and sen- iors Lewis Everly and Terry jackson pre- ferred the original Toga Day . It was great and a lot of laughs, stated junior Michael Parrot. There were really a great number of unusual sheets. Howdy Week also included an assembly full of hilarious skits, which received rave reviews from students and teachers alike. Many students commented on the fact that this was the best assembly they had seen in a long time. I think the assembly was better than any other one I've seen or participated in. It was very successful because it was funny, well- organized, and done in good taste. Overall, it was just a really creative idea. said senior Scott Symes. No matter what activities students partici- pated in, everyone came away with a great attitude, lots of spirit, and a sense of belong- ing. I think it made freshmen feel more wel- come - not such outsiders, said senior Christina Pirrong. Senior Traci Clark agreed. It put every- body in a common place, doing the same things, and meeting each other. But I was really surprised at all the freshmen there -- - whatever happened to strict parents?!

There has got to be a better way, he decides as he pulls out of the bank parking lot in the car that practi- cally cost him his whole paycheck. Did that sound familiar? It did if you were of the working class. Many high school stu- dents worked for many different reasons.

On the other hand, Eric Mitchner said, I like to work at Taco Bell because I get to meet all the girls that come in to eat. One of the main reasons students worked was to make payments on their cars and keep them running. Mark Osby added that his car was useful for his job of delivering fliers. Some people had jobs that reflected their career choice. Others did the type of work they had always wanted to try. I have always been interested in floral work.

It makes me feel good to help them accomplish something. Christina Bazarian said that her job as a gardener brought her closer to nature. Working was a part of many students' high school lives. Whether it was an odd job such as painting addresses on the curb or a part-time job at the local mall, the working class agreed that jobs provided both money and fun. jill Lyon MAKING MONEY. jobs in the mall are popular among students.

Answer-Probably pretty cut and dried, and frankly, very boring. Having some friends at school made it easier to handle that six hours each weekdayg much like prisoners have cellmates. And that's not all. Friends from school were most likely the ones who came to raid your refrig- erator after school, borrow all your clothes, and help you scheme ways to stay out later on the weekends. Friends from high school may even stick with you for the rest of your life. fThat may be a scary thought depending on who it isll Without my friends, school would be worse than reality, stated senior j. Price, I probably wouldn't even come. Freshman Angie Mathis shared the same opinion. The whole point of coming to school is to socialize. The only time I see my friends is at school because I live so far away. I mostly met my friends through school, said Dannielle Sellman, I don't have any classes with my best friend, but we find time to do stuff at lunch and after - school. Best friends Missy Dean, Tracy Terrell, and Denise Mullins explained the reason for their friendship. We don't trip with each other over silly mishaps We eat over at each other's houses, we go riding and look for guys to-I gether, we laugh at each other, because we are friends. Stephani Robinson had a slightly more dramatic view. Without my friends, my whole emotion- al state would be in shambles!

This was the most spirited day of the year, said Grant Kitchens. Homecoming Day was definitely a day full of fun and excitement for the entire school. The tradition of homecoming was to keep all theme ideas a secret. This was easy for the seniors but the underclassmen had a difficult time with that. They had not been around long enough to have attained the knowhow on keeping their themes a secret. I was always being tricked into telling the sophomores theme to the upperclass- men, said Todd Fagin. After all plans had been decided it was time to get down to business. The class council fund paid for some of the expenses of the materials needed. Sometimes they did not have to buy everything. Some businesses donated needed materials to cut down on expenses. The day of the parade finally arrived. Be- cause of increased traffic on Pennsylvania it was no longer possible to block the road off for the parade. This year the parade followed a new route going west on Britton Road from the Broadway Ext. Since Britton Road was being resurfaced the band, floats and marchers had to stay in one lane in order to avoid the tar. The hall decoration competition came second. Excitement filled the school. Every class spent a lot of time and effort in their decorations and they all wanted their hall to win. I was so excited about the dayg it was hard to keep my mind on my school work, said Lavern Harris. Of course the teachers were very cooperative on this day. They were a little excited too. Homecoming was a great spirit builder and something to look forward to. It brought everyone together to share good times, said Yolanda johnson. - Ann Davis , l l 20 6 A Flash Of Life w,,....--Q'+ ',...w- T NM an WORKING TOGETHER.

It was time to make the finishing touches on the hall which students had begun decorating the afternoon before. Streamers were hung, and signs quickly pasted up before the first bell rang and everyone was pushed out of the halls and into class so that the halls could be judged.

The seniors also won first place on their float, but the fresh- men broke tradition and won best overall float. Spirit was at a high when the band struck up the fight song. Homecoming candidates were introduced, the cheerleaders and pom- pon girls performed, and then Coach Torres said a few enthusiastic words about the game that night. As they exited the gym, everyone was pepped up, and ready to beat the Law- ton Ike Eagles. That night, shoe-polished cars filled with anxious fans caravanned to the stadium. This year everyone had to arrive early to watch the Homecoming Coronation which took place before the game. As candidates Kim Epps, Mindi Higbie, Brooke Moran, Laura Peter- son, and Petra Terry were introduced, they smiled and waved at the cheering crowd. Then came the moment everyone had been waiting for. Crandall Brown crowned queen Kim Epps and gave her the congratulatory kiss as crown bearer Christopher Harding looked on. Flower girl Ebony johnson had suffered a case of stage fright and watched from the sidelines. During the first quarter, the queen and candidates, dressed in their formals, sat together in the cold on the foot- ball field. At the beginning of the game the crowd cheered loudly, but soon spirits plunged as the team struggled with the Eagles. The game ended in a 13-14 upset. Although fans and players were disappointed in the game, most students agreed that Homecoming 1986 would not be forgotten. jill Lyon KENTUCKY FRIED EAGLES.

Whether they were dressing up or even down, students used versatility to its fullest advantage. Trends this year were different in that some were really bummy while others were very dressy, said Valerie Cartwright. There didn't seem to be any set fashion standards. Every student had their own indi- vidual style. Laurie Anderson summed it up by saying, People were wearing more of their own styles and really dressing the way that they wanted to.

Some students went to the extreme of paying sixty-five dollars for pre-torn jeans to demonstrate a very laid back look. Another style of jeans was overalls. These denim pants made a big hit with students. Shoes were a major part of making a fashion state- ment. Everything from knee high studded boots to flat ballet style slippers could be found in the school halls on student feet. jackets and jewelry were big trendsetting extras. Huge, oversized coats and blazers were very popular. Denim, suede, and leather were just a few of the many types worn by students. Gold and silver were popular not only in clothing but also in big, bold jewelry. Bangles, baubles, and beads were a large part of many girls' accessory wardrobes. Collars and scarves were also extra fashion accesso- ries. Quilted, jeweled, lace and linen collars were seen everywhere. Scarves were used not only as neck ties, but also as belts and Shawls. Whether preppie, punk, or in between, fashion was an important part of everyday student life. Many students went wild and eccentric while others dressed in traditional preppie classics.

A basically simple, fairly common instrument of everyday life. Thought to be harmless, the camera seems to have everyone fooled. No one would ever believe that this invention would have the incredible power to turn normal, everyday, average high school students into what can only be described as hams, When put in front of a camera, these ordinary students are suddenly transformed into camera hogs-intent only on being the main focus of some hilarious picture. The cause for this is unknown and, probably for good reason, too! Most students asked about their opinion on this subject pretended not to understand - more likely, they didn't want to reveal their secret love for the camera. Sometimes it's okay, said Mark Osby, Maybe they don't get enough attention at home! Shawn Huffman agreed. Everyone loves to be in front of the camera because they do love the attention. It's a chance for them to see themselves, and their friends! When it comes right down to it, everyone is a secret ham-whether it shows up at a football game, a party, or just during class. But some people, like Karlesse Williams, refuse to appreciate this fine art. I don't know . . . I guess they think they look good or something, Stephanie Booth. Pictures I 31 Unique Styles, Wild Cuts, Or A Touch Of Color, Led To The Question - llow Do You Do? Go ahead, I dare you. That is what this year's haircuts and styles seemed to say. Be unusual was the only apparent rule. Guys, more than girls, seemed to take this idea very seriously. Every day someone invented some different style or cut that was just a little more unusual than that of the day before. Instead of grabbing a bite to eat or going shopping after school, many students could be caught helping a friend cut, shave, or color his hair. Girls may not have been as quick to cut their hair, but they had just as much fun with less permanent styling techniques. Gels, glazes, slickers, and mousse were a part of everyday life with many girls. Semi-perma- nent dyes, reds and golds being the most popular, gave girls and guys both, versatility, with a chance to change from day to day. The classic cuts were still around too. Many girls kept their traditional long hair and boys, their short preppy cuts, rather than going to wild extremes. Expense was a big factor in hair this year. Cuts cost anywhere from seven dollars to a larger sum of forty dollars. Prices had be- come too outrageous for many students. This is why some resorted to having friends . YQWQCG sex O A Flash Of Life Darrell Hooks Mandy Clay help them cut their own hair. But, of course, there were those who refused to give up the luxuries of a professional designer, Along with cuts and styles, old and new, were the hair extras. Accessories abounded. Big, bold, and daring were the keys. Bows, scarves, clips, and head wraps were all a part of every girl's wardrobe. Hair styles, cuts, and techniques were both innovative and fun.

Tiffany Garrett-My last year at John Mar- shall is the one that I have been looking forward to since the past summer. JM has been fun, and I'm going to miss it, but I'm ready to leave. Marc Schoonover-People always say that these are the best years of our lives and with a class like ours they are right. Through four homecomings and the prom, we have really grown up together. Erin Fowler-I'm anxious to graduate, but am kind of sad considering this is the last of my high school years. Mark Osby-My last year at JM has been full of challenges that I have adapted to and overcome with the help of the class of 1987. Lisa Fillman-Being a senior is a lot of hard work. Not only do you have to keep up your grades, you also have to tend to future busi- ness-college. It is hard to balance and ac- complish both responsibilities. Tannica Price-The seniors are a symbol of pride, class, and integrityg these qualities you don't find everyday.

Gadgets and gear appeared on students' backs, clothes, heads and even cars. There were trinkets for everything including school, leisure and automotive paraphernalia. Some of them were necessities and served a purpose, others were all for fun. Most students carried backpacks. I carry a backpack because if I carried my books in my hands I'd look like a nerd, said Eric Russell. Alvina Renfrow said, I carry a backpack because it makes me look smart. Calculators, calendar organizers, miniature staplers, rulers with digital clocks, and fancy pens and pencils were just some of the school gear people carried. Lockers were decorated with mirrors, and posters. They also contained other important equipment for school. 9 , X iss... 5 .... A 5. - KEEP IT UP.

Famous-make stereos and speakers were probably the most expensive of them. Keychains and keys were often collected on one keyring as souvenirs from trips, hotels or just for the sake of collecting them. The craze over the diamond shaped yellow signs that hung in back of car windows, and bumper stickers were a way of expressing oneself. Some of them at the school read ex-girlfriend in trunk , I dare you , Senior on board , Beam me up, Scotty , and Crazy driver on board. Lewis Everly ex- pressed his feelings about the signs. They were good to look at, then they got boring to look at, and some are stupid to look at. Gadgets like garters, bandanas, sunglasses, leis, dice, bears and tassels hung from rear view mirrors, During the cold weather, most cars were outfitted with ice scrapers. Some even were attached to furry wool gloves for warmth. Gadgets and gear were also for leisure and some were extravagant. A lot of students owned walkmans, and a few had pocket TV's. Although they were supposed to be kept at home, a few of them popped up in class. Deric Pantry explained why he had a pocket TV. I can take it on trips, and I can connect a VCR to it. It's small enough that I can take it to class without my teachers knowing about it. Lasar guns were toys for the little kids but found their way to high school. Other odds 'n' ends included friend- ship bracelets made from a knotting tech- nique with embroidery thread, sunglasses, watches, buttons and purses. This year, gadgets and gear proved to be both useful and fun. jill Lyon BABY ON BOARD. In the revolt against the popular yellow caution signs, one student interprets the sign literally.

And to each student, different events had different mean- ings and levels of importance. But, whether it was entertainment news or a government scandal, students followed it all carefully. And following are just a few of the year's highlights most worth remembering. Hands Across America was impressive, because it showed that the U.S. could stand together for the good of the people. Stormy Martin. An original project designed to fight world hunger, Hands Across America took place on May 25. Over 5 million people stood in line across America, holding hands as a symbol of Standing Together. Al- though the project did not meet its financial projections, it impressed, as well as touched, the entire world. Unemployment was up, money was down and everybody was sitting around! - - -- Nicole Walton. An accurate description of 1986, except for the very last part: Four hundred people from 50 states and nine foreign countries began a nine month Great Peace March for Global Nuclear Disarmament from Los An- geles to Washington D.C., pilots Dick Rutan and jeana Yeager made aviation history with the Voyager and their trip around the world The 1986-87 School Year Was Full Of Newsmakers without landing or refueling in mid air, the Statue of Liberty stood tall for her one hun- dredth birthday, after a two-year and S75 million makeover, and almost all Americans stood up to catch a glimpse of Halley's Comet, not visible again until 2061. The Edmond post office massacre was the most important event of 1986. I think so, because it was closer to home, and affected so many. ---- Linda Luna. On August 20th, 14 people were killed at the Edmond post office. The murderer then took his own life. The entire state of Okla- homa felt the impact of this mass murder. In happier news, Oklahoma inaugurated its new governor, Henry Bellmon, successor to Governor Nigh. This was a good year for America . . . we began to assert ourself as a leader of the world. ---- james Wolfinger. America, despite the increasingly confus- ing Contras scandal, did seem to be in better shape than the rest of the world . . .Terrorist attacks were depressingly common in Eur- ope and the Middle East.

The Broncos are going to beat the Giants, and I'm going to graduate with all my friends! - Eric Runnels. In early 1987, the Giants did win the Super Bowl, but 1986 proved to be a good year in sports. It was topped however, by the New York Mets' win over the Boston Red Sox in the World Series. Also,jack Nicklaus, at age 46, became the oldest Master's Champion in golf, Greg LeMond of California became the first American ever to win the Tour de France 12,542 miles-24 dayj bike race, Mike Tyson was honored with the title of youn- gest heavyweight boxing champion ever, and 19,626 people Cout of the 20,000 entrantsj actually finished the New York marathon.

You're trying to concentrate on your final exam, but find it hopeless because someone is continu- ously tapping their pencil Your best friend commits to picking you up at 8:00 for the biggest party of the year, then doesn't show up until 11:30 on the way home. Gum popping, too loud music, forgetful friends or unjustifiably rude strangers - these are all prime examples of pet peeves. The worst thing, however, about pet peeves was the realization that one person's favorite habit was another's worst nightmare. Some people, for example, insisted on tapping their feet, drumming their hands, or humming show tunes in class-unaware of the' harmful effects it had on everybody else. And everyone had their own specific complaint: I hate it when people get mad at me for insignificant things, stated Christina Bazar- ran. Karen Chandler couldn't stand when Monica Naukam sings along with the radio, because she is ALWAYS off tune! Derek Cozzens noted his brother, Chris, as his pet peeve. Marty Wade dealt with his complaints - really rude people who won't shut up - by telling them EXACTLY how I feel! Surprisingly enough, a lot of students shared the same complaints: rude people pushing in the halls, brothers from college who come home and take off with everything, eaves- dropping, people driving in the right lane who don't turn right, having powerlocks and not using them, people who quote t.v. shows, and having too much homework! Bearing the unbearable was, luckily, just a small part of dealing with everyday life. And anyway, as jennifer Davis said, The people who let things bother them are the ones with the most problems!

That may seem surprising, or even somewhat of a well- kept secret, but actually, most students were straight-forward about how they felt. Most students explained that want- ing a relationship depended on the cir- cumstances, and finding the right pet- son . One person mentioned that a lot depended on the maturity of the people involved. Some people just can't handle a se- rious relationship. I think that most girls are ready for one, but finding a guy that feels the same way is a different story. A lot of guys just like to go out and mess around .. . 1496 of the students didn't mind re- lationships as long as their friends wer- en t forgotten 1796 were totally against any type of serious dating, mainly be- cause of bad past experiences.

No prefe ence Facing Up And Living Through Embarrassing Moments Sooner or later, everyone has a pure unadulterated moment of complete em- barrassment. Whether it comes in the form of a foot in the mouth, an unzipped zipper, or just a missed step on the stairs, not much seemed to ease that feeling of near humiliation. Except, that is, for real- izing the fact that everyone has had their turn in the spotlight of embarrassment. My most embarrassing moment was on Homecoming, said Crandall Brown, I had to escort the two little kids out on the field, and the little girl kept crying and wouldn't come to me. She kept try- ing to run back. 46 O Exposed! Lori Bishop had an embarrassing mo- ment on Dayton Beach, Florida, when the waves totally took off the top of my bathing suit. Monica Heidenbricker was walking out to my friend's car to say goodbye after a party, I knocked on the car win- dow for about five minutes before I real- ized my friend wasn't alone! Stephanie Lowery was walking down the stairs one day, holding Scott Symes' hand. He didn't realize that she tripped and fell, and dragged her down an entire flight of stairs before he finally noticed that she was sitting down. jerilynn Thompson experienced a mo- ment not unusual for the Three Stooges. I went bowling with a whole bunch of my friends. It was my turn, and as soon as I let go of the ball, I slipped and fell. When I looked up, I was in the middle of the alley! jon Godsey was calling a friend-or so I thought. I talked to someone for about five minutes before I realized that it was a wrong number. Fortunately, embarrassment in life usually come far and few between. But those who learned to bear them mastered the finest technique of all. 1 . '4 it My car broke down. I missed my bus. 'I was sick last night and didn 't ha ve a chance to study. I accidentally grabbed the wrong book trying to get to class on time. These are just a few of the excuses used to help us get through the every- day sticky spots we all encountered sooner or later. And the list goes on and on and on . . . My car died is a good one, said Brady Green, But my favorite is 'I 'm with the newspaper, and I had to go interview someone. ' Sometimes, a totally oftfthe-wall ex- cuse would be the best bet. Not only does it produce a laugh fif presented correctlyj, but it also changes the sub- ject. Below are some ofthe more imagi- native excuses students produced. I accidentally hit an animal, and I had to take it to the vet. My little brother are it. Terrorists attacked my car and stole my homework on the way to school. Ir's against my religion. Everyone uses a lot of excuses, said Adrianne Spivey, It's a good way to get e out of trouble. Fr r l , E i X T .

Billy and Bobby Allgood, Angie and julie Baier, Leann and Legand Burge, jarrett and jason Determan, Raphala and Raphele Greene, Roy and Troy Moon, Stanford and Stanley Renfrow and Michael and Mitchell Sango are twins. They are all enrolled here this year. Letitia Smith and Dale Tryon have twins that go to different schools. I miss my twin brother a lot, said Letitia Smith Twins are unique peo- ple. They're close just like Ricco and me. It's not often you find someone who feels the same way you do. According to jason Determan, be- ing a twin, as an identical twin, is not all that great. jarrett agreed. I don't like it. All it does is cause us trouble, he said. Everybody wants to be a twin because it is so neat. I think it is a pain. If I had a chance to change myself to not being a twin, I would. Not all twins feel the same way as jarrett and jason. Roy and Troy Moon said they enjoy being twins. There's nothing they wouldnt do for each other. They are always looking after each other. The only thing I don't like about being a twin, said Roy, is people always getting our names mixed up. Of ten sets of twins that go to our school, seven are fraternal. Angie and julie Baier are identical fraternal twins. People think because we look alike, we also think alike, act the same, have the same taste in clothes and mu- sic, you know, stuff like that, They are right except for one thing. We are two different people, said Angie. julie agrees with Angie. Each one of us is a whole, not part of a whole, said julie. But even so, most agreed there were more plusses than minuses in this unique situation. Sonya Carter Excuses Twins 0 47 KJ ea 48 0 Revealing Ourselves NOT ALWAYS A BREEZE.

Seniors represented the school as the leaders. They worked together, striving hard throughout the year to raise school spirit and earn their final credits, on the way to graduation. juniors were in a sort-of -training pe- riod and given the responsibility of putting on the prom. Sophomores and freshmen, casually enjoyed their high school life, without as much pressure. They waited for their turn at the top. Each person, regardless of classifi- cation, in some way left a mark and made the year great. It is through these efforts and contributions this book is Bearing It All.

Beat Northwest! Beat Law- ton Ike! These were familiar words chanted by the senior class as they worked to keep school spirit at an all time high and to follow through with senior traditions. Homecoming activities were the best spirit builders around. I look forward to Homecom- ing because it gave students a time to pull together and work as a class, said Devery Love. Throughout the whole week of Homecom- ing the spirit kept building and building. The seniors tried their hardest and made it the best celebration ever. Splatl No matter how careful you were you always seemed to get paint on your clothes. Painting the bridge has always been a tradition for the seniors. Dedicated seniors would donate money for supplies then give up their sleeping time to go paint. I did not mind getting up at 2:30 a.m. to show my pride for the school, said Karen Chandler. The painters couldn't stand in the middle of Western to decorate the top of the bridge, therefore you were forced to hang up- side down from the top to paint. Dangling from the top students were forced to be face to face with the grills on the trucks that passed under- neath. A trust worthy friend held on the painters as he showed his talents. The class of '87 is closing the door 'cause after us there are no more. This was painted on the back parking lot wall when students arrived at school last fall. The idea began when the students realized how unattractive the parking lot had looked with its graffitti. Kelly Patterson and Ann Davis decided to change things. Brooke Moran came up with the saying for the class and everyone seemed to like it. Want- ing to have it done by September 2, the two girls started the job on August 27. They sup- plied the needed materials and got to work. They first covered the entire 405 foot long wall in white and then put on the slogan. I was really surprised the first day of school to see it was completed. I was proud to say I was a senior, said Steve Sanders. The senior students hoped it would become a tradition of the other classes when they became seniors. During the course of the school year, some impatient freshman decided to wreck and paint over it. The seniors still considered it a great accomplishment and hoped it would be carried on.

Best friends Quinn Rob- erts, Shawn Stevenson, and Ceasar Davis let loose at a football game. Going to the movies, talking on the phone, dressing like twins were all a part having a best friend. Everybody had friends but best friends were hard to come by. Loyalty and honesty was what was expected of a best friend, said Paul Terry. A best friend was someone that was always there when needed. People can share their deep- est most intimate thoughts with a best friend and not have to worry about being ridiculed or put down. Most people don't keep the same best friend forever. Throughout the course of life people grow and expand and that makes it difficult to keep the same relationships. I have had more than one best friend in my life but I treasure all of them. said Lori Bishop. Best friends are fun for shopping, and for letting yourself go, and doing crazy things They are great for just sitting down and talking, talk- ing, talking. Best friends have big shoulders to lean on. But they have to be treated right. A good friend can't just take and not give.

They ranged from straight A students to National Merit Semifinalists and college scholarship winners. The Class of 1987 hosted many academically gifted stu- dents. Monica Naukam and jay Hartzell were honored at the beginning of the year for their high scores on the Scholastic Achievement Test. Long hours of study and extra classes produced many honor students. These talented persons have worked hard and now it paid off. I feel good about being a good student and achieving academic highs because it pays off. Not all students can say they did it, said Lori Bishop. Although it is special to know you've done it, I always want more, said Robbie Ring. Senior Yolanda Bruner commented It is very rewarding. These seniors not only spent time making good grades but were involved with extra curricular activities, They were class council officers, club officers, student body leaders, and athletes. Grades are all a part of school but many consider them most important. I try and make good grades all the time, that is why I'm here, said senior Doug Evans. Above all, their work and dedication gave the school many people to be proud of. Kelly Patterson lv Q' HARD AT WORK: Senior Petra Terry cracks the books in Coach Garrett's AP American History class.

Those were the words that were so familiar to students this year. Teachers and other faculty members all helped to crack down on tardiness. The reasons had all been heard before. My car stalled or I forgot my books in my locker or even the infamous I lost track of time. The new administration set up strict rules concerning these tardies. Consequences were lunch detention, referrals, parent confer- ences, andfor suspensions. Some lasted as long as five days. Senior students found some of this a little different and a lot tougher from previous years. It's a lot different this year, said Polly Carson. The policy about tardies was never really enforced before this year, said Datci McA- bee. I hate being late but I also hate having to eat so fast, said senior jennifer Pogue. It got easier as the year went by, said 56 Rodney Williams. Students and teachers alike didn't like the hassle of sending the student down to a principal to get off the famous Do Not Admit list and surely the students could remember that speech they got every time. But this year, if by Chance you got away with a tardy by a teacher, there was a good chance you got stopped in the hall by an on-duty supervisor with a note-pad and twenty ques- tions. This led to conferences and most could say they didn't get out of it. At 12:20 the halls became raceways. Raceways for students that is. Those same supervisors were seen shooing students away from candy machines and, along with Mrs. Thomas, pushing them on to class. All in all, the number of tardies decreased because of this disciplinary program. Empty halls could even be found one minute before the final bell. Although I hate it, it works, said senior Koby Grissom. I don't like the drastic change. It wasn't like this last year. Ernest Young It's a good program, just a ,little too strict.

The Seniors found the top was hard also. On top of the many problems, this year's class was the first to experience two major difficulties. The five hour require- ment and an increase in credits to gra- duate were the two problems. The Eve hour policy affected everyone in the Senior Class. Up until this year, seniors were required to take only four hours. This meant that they could leave at lunch. Many Seniors who had jobs found the fifth hour quite an interference. Find- ing a class of interest was also a problem. The only good thing that came from this policy was the fact that juniors must go to six hours of school. Not everyone was affected by credits - like the five hours. The number of credits was not the problem. The way they're spread out was. This was because many Seniors put off getting their specif- ic requirements. , I'm taking three basics and two Eng- lish classes, said Stephanie Robinson. These problems were difficult but there were ways around them. In order to get enough time for a job, many seniors took DECA. This class wasn't an out be- cause it required extensive studying. Credits cannot be avoided but can be simplified. In order to get a physical edu- cation credit, many students take band. For fine arts credit, there is stage crew. To help collect numbers of credits, there is seventh hour or extracurricular sports. All I have to do is get one English and two electives to graduate, said Stephanie Lowery.

Their popularity also, unfortu- nately, made for crowded class- rooms. There was such a demand that classes became too full.

Everyday each member of the junior class is growing in some way- but some lucky juniors have had special opportunities beyond that of the ordi- nary realm, such was Derek Cozzens. During the summer of '86, Derek left his ordinary life in Oklahoma City behind for an adventure in Europe. At first Derek experienced cultural shock as he adapted to the language and lifestyle' of his new French family and recovered from the trip itself. Derek departed from New York, which was not one of his favorite places. In fact, he thought New Yorkers were rude. He found his new family to be more polite, conser- vative in manner and speech, not too outgoing, but very con- cerned and caring people anxious to befriend him and make his stay pleasant. Overcoming the language barrier was not too difficult but understanding the monetary exchangeproved to be quite com- plicated. Derek said, I had trouble adjusting to the value of money. Everything was expensive. Not getting some real bar- gains overseas was one of Derek's biggest disappointments. 62 0 Revealing Ourselves Traveling through Europe and sightseeing with his adopted family were the best parts of Derek's exchange program. Among the places he visited were the Alps, Paris, Marseilles, Bordeaux, Toulon, and Corsica, The highlight of all was the time Derek spent on the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean. His French family owned a summer place there and Derek fell in love. It was not with some beautiful European girl, nor with some dazzling place but with the thrill and excitement of wind- surfing. His adopted family was very physically active much to Der- ek's delight and introduced him to cliff diving in Corsica as well as windsurfing. I had a lot of trouble windsurfing, at first. But, after a while it became easier and more fun when I could do more stunts on the board, said Derek. All in all it was a going and growing time Derek will never forget. jennifer Davis COZZENS AT CORSICA.

KW' ei it X G t ' - 5 4 I f A There were many new changes this year, one of which was the new schedule policy. juniors must now take six hours, seniors five. Good or bad, everyone dealt with it in their own way. Most seniors interviewed thought it was a big pain to take a class after lunch. They felt sorry for the juniors who had looked forward to getting out early. I'm taking a class fifth hour l do not need, said senior Karen Chandler. juniors were more optimistic about taking six hours. Most of them were not really bothered by the change because either they had planned on doing so already or realized it couldn't hurt them. l don't care because at my old school I would have had to have taken six classes, so I didn't mind, said junior Tracy Coleman. Brent Craig felt that there was a better selection of classes because of the higher demand for them. Some students thought that the new schedule policy led to overcrowding in certain classes. They wished the selection of classes after lunch were more to their liking. Some took blow- off classes in the afternoon, and others adapted to the situation differently by taking DECA and getting out one class early for work. jaylynn Bailey said, I don't mind taking six hours but I had a hard time finding any classes sixth hour that a junior needs to take. New policies brought new problems and everyone had their own opinion about the schedule rule. Perhaps these ideas will lead to improvements, but rules were rules and the schedule policy had to be followed. jennifer Davis ALL THIS TIME. Sometimes the extra hour was one too many.

Over all, the junior class has taken more responsibility than they have for the past two years as sophomores and freshmen. We have a lot of people that take pride in being here. Dorbin Yarbrough The juniors are the best class because we have more responsi- bility and more people are looking up to us. There's one more year until being a senior and we get to do the prom.

It's easy to see that Charles Franks holds a promising future in football. Many times this season Franks has proved that football is definitely his game. He displayed his outstanding talents by helping the team with its 42-14 victory over Northeast. Scoring four touchdowns with two pass receptions and an interception made this one of Franks' most im- pressive games. I think my best game was against Northeast because it was fun scoring four touchdowns. After the game I felt good, not only because we won but because I felt like I did the best I could to help the team, Franks said. To top off a successful game, Franks received wide recognition as the Player of the Week by both KIMY and KXY 96 radio. These honors brought him three trophies as well as other prizes. One may wonder what keeps him going. It may be that feeling of satisfaction when the team wins. After all, as Franks said, My favor- ite part of football is winning a game and after the game feeling I did my best to help the team. Franks feels the strongest influence came from his mother. He said she was responsible for his starting football when he was younger. She made me stay with football no matter what the outcome of the season, Franks said. He hopes to play for Oklahoma State Uni- versity and feels that later in life football could be his career. With a season like this, Franks should have no problem. julie Holliday I is Charles Fran sf K NIAM Minor PREP PLAYER or mewtex i WHAT AN HONOR!

R Ma - I sri uckling is for the best Wearing a seatbelt is a really good idea. -johnny Carpenter You sit comfortably in your car, ready for take-off. But what is that irritating, buzzing sound? Oh! You almost forgot. It's time to put on that comfortable, fashionable seatbelt. Eagerly, you buckle it securely, enjoy- ing that claustrophobic locked-in feeling. Wistfully, you wish it could be just a little looser. Oh well, you will have to settle for lower blood circulation. Okay, so maybe no one enjoys seatbelts all that much. And maybe they aren't comfortable or cool at all. Most of the time they really do scratch your neck, try to choke you, and wrinkle every inch of your clothing. But, in a recent session of the legislature, a law was passed saying that on February 1, 1987 everyone, regardless of age must wear a seatbelt when riding in a car. This law was expected to lower the death rate resulting from car wrecks and generally initiate better safety habits. However, to some juniors this proved to be just another hassle and something else to ignore. I believe in wearing seatbelts. They really do save lives, said Shawna Stuckey. But I never wear mine. Donald Richardson had an interesting outlook, also. I wear my seatbelt when people ask me to, but when I'm by myself, I usually forget. But to others buckling up was a great idea. I think it's a good idea because it protects you from others who might not be as careful as you, said Monica Isiaka. jennifer Davis shared the same opinion. Some people may not use it, because it is something extra to remember. But they really should, because, in the long run, it can only help you.

You're halfway through your high school years-not a baby underclassman anymore, but not quite a graduating senior. You're just in the middle of it all, which some people prefer. Being a junior definitely has its advantages, as jean Reed realized. As a junior, you have more liberty to do what you feel like. Everybody realized that you're your own person. As juniors, you have a lot of the pride seniors have without having to take on the extra responsibility. My junior year has been the funnest year yet! janet Fowler saw her junior year in a simpler terms. Party, party, party! Being a junior, most of the time, means more privileges fwhether it's from parents or schoolj and more opportunities. By the time you're a junior, you're almost always able to drive for at least your friends arej, which in itself brings added independence and freedom. It's great to be an upper classmanf' said Thomas Hart It seems like thete's a lot more going on. Robin Willis agreed. There are a lot of good points to being a junior. For one thing, you finally get the chance to go to the prom. And also, you're more involved in even more things than you were when you were a freshman or sophomore. I'm doing as much as I can possibly get away with, stated Dwayne Lawton, Because I know next year, as a senior, I'll have a lot more to do. The best part of being a junior, though, is making the underclassmen look up to you! Although eleventh grade may be the most fun year in high school, some, like Kurt Fashimpaur, are still looking ahead. My favorite part of being a junior?

That was the primary punishment teenagers faced for their short- comings. I got into trouble for not doing my chores , said Stephan Lewis. Neglecting chores was a major cause of loosing privi- leges. Curfews were set for certain standards. Many teens didn't agree with their curfew because they thought they were unreason- able. Sometimes teens missed their curfew because something better or more important came up. I sometimes got grounded for missing my curfew, said Lori Leiser. Teenagers most important conversation mechanism was the phone. They used it to talk to friends and to make plans for their spare time. My punishment was usually being grounded off of the phone, said jurea Washington. --eww K 'i aswell i 1 M., ,l , -V nw a. M f , f f Q. , 2 Sometimes my parents withheld my allowance.

I finally got a chance to drive to places by myself, said Trisha Rice. Driver training was a popular class in pre- paring for the trips out on the town, or just the short trips to the store for Mom and Dad. It also meant cut rates on insurance. I took Drivers Education because it sounded like a great class in preparing for the teal thing, said Barbie Barton.

I spent time by myself to figure out problems, said Amy Precure. Spending time alone was important for sanity. Teenagers were faced with so many new and unexplainable pressures. Being alone gave a feeling of power and of becom- ing one's own boss. To keep from blowing up at someone else, I would just go somewhere private so I could settle down, said Raquel Bouteller. Students found they needed privacy so C Revealing Ourselves that they could make plans for the future. To have privacy, a person needed a place where no one could disturb them. The most popular place for uninterrupted privacy was the bedroom. Here was the solitude neces- sary for personal fulfillment. It was a place that one could call his own. Sometimes students went for a walk, to a park, or even their backyard for privacy. Doing my homework was a good excuse for having some time to myself, said - Laura Deakle Shanda Hardin. Sometimes a nice hot bath and a book provided a spot for reflection upon what had taken place during the course of the day. Daydreaming was also a part of being alone. Daydreams were good for forgetting about frustrations caused by the pressures of school, relationships, and homelife. Times like these called for a place alone to think and dream.

Displays of students' secret treasures ow the variety of memorabilia. so, mi, Secret treasures included many things students made into collectibles. Such valued items were ribbons, wilted dance cor- sages, old newspaper clippings, ticket stubs, sports programs, old poems, and even magazines. These were valued because they held special memories. May- be they were important because of what they were but who gave these reminders of the past also held special meaning. Students said they kept these treasures because they just couldn't throw them away. They were displayed on a wall or hidden in box only to be seen by their owners. These treasures were collected at formal dances, school functions, and they might even have been family heirlooms. Whatever they were, they were special and secret. FOND REMEMBRANCE.

You, could you loan me a quarter? You in the blue jacket, could I . . . ? Over the year, students borrowed many things. These includ- ed money for a coke, a piece of paper, answers to a test, a pen or pencil, or even a ride home. But students weren't the only ones lending. Teachers also helped those in need. Some helped with money and rides. Although some didn't mind lending, most began discrimin- ating when it was money or rides. Students expected to be paid back and if they weren't, they were sure to remember the person. After mooching from everyone and irritating many people, many students realized there was no one left to borrow from. Kelly Patterson rf HEY COULD YOU . . . ?

Was an attentive dog a trusted confidante? A parakeet your top advisor? If yes, you were one of the many students who fell prey to a sad face, a loud chirp, or a soft purr. Many students owned pets. They say they gave them the right kind of company, a sort of unconditional love. It's hard for me to find time for my pets but I try, said sophomore Tiffany McBride. Animals such as hamsters, dogs, cats, birds, and even exotic pets were included. My pet belongs to my whole family, we all enjoy it, said sophomore Suzanne Kirtley. DOTTED DALMATIONS.

Coming into a new school not knowing many of the people or anything about the school isn't the easiest thing in the world, but running for freshman class presi- dent at the same time would be even more of a challenge. I didn't know any of the duties I had or what I was supposed to be doing, said Laura. One thing that really helped me was that I already knew a few of the fresh- men from junior high. Laura also had a lot of help and support. Most of the freshman class was ready to begin working right from the start - espe- 4. X cially with the float. The freshmen this year won the best overall prize in the homecom- ing float competition. I was surprised we did win. Usually the upperclassmen win be- cause they have been through it before, said freshman Gina Biswell. Laura also added, They were eager to start meetings and to get going as a class. The freshmen have been very supportive of Laura and the job she has done. She's a very nice person and she really gets things done for the class, said Matt Wullenwaber. Kantra Lewis said, I think she's doing a great job. Laura Fisher ELECTION PROCESS. Laura Rush gives her presi- dental campaign speech to the freshmen class.

Sean Corclry I thought john Marshall would be a very rough school because of all the rumors I heard, but now that I have been going here I know it is a very respectable school. One thing that amazed me is that out of all the schools I've gone to, none have had more spirit. No matter if they win or lose they still have spirit. john Shenick I love being at john Marshall.

As a first year agriculture student, she did not have to have a project, but she wanted to get more involved. By getting herself in- volved she also volunteered her family to help her when piano lessons, teaching piano lessons, 3 babysitting jobs and lots of home- work got in the way. To Beth, FFA stood not only for Future Farmers of America but also for Family Feeds the Animal . After a year of showing her lamb at var- ious shows throughout the state and learning everything there was to know about the per- sonal care of an animal, Beth still was not finished. Althougth Remington reached his fate, fthe meat packing plantl Beth starts again in the fall. an -l i f ,c,.i , , 1 N iii: M - - f Q A r Q 1 gg V my Q ' , - ' A ..,, 0- -- ' -x 4 gli' wfi J 5 ,, , i ',4 f.

She's Back . . Student Council, Howdy Week Assembly Making school a home-away-from-home is something most dedi- cated principals do, but when Principal Pam Thomas settled down, she made sure that everyone knew it. Finding her was usually no problem, especially for the students. As early as 7:30 in the morning during the first nine weeks, Thomas could be found around her desk and the vending machines, which are in one of the main halls, greeting students with a positive outlook and encouraging them out of the halls, away from the vending machines, and to class. One thing that set her apart from looking like a traffic cop had to have been her friendly smile and vogue way of dressing. Unlike the usual practice of having the principal's desk in the office, it was found in the hall, There was a reason for this. This was to break away from the tradition of students feeling negatively about seeing the principal and to help them feel more positive. Two weeks before school, I was concerned that l'd start school without knowing the students, said Thomas, She also said that it appears that more students that passed through the hall had smiles on their faces. Pep-stepping the halls was one of Thomas' common pastimes. 1 Hi , 04' 5 te 'fs 2 4 he 1 2 5 Q . at it T '11 3 Hfvfwi ,W ll ...Y 'il f 'w r ' w, V ' 'NT . .1 2 ...- 2' Br She'd admit to having covered the building about three times a day. While she walked, she checked up on teachers, students, and substi- tutes. She spent some time speaking with students for special causes. Thomas also had to make a few fast dashes to the office to answer phone calls, prepare schedules, or sign checks, requisitions or book- ings. Out of a nine hour day she was in the halls about eight of those hours. That left her with little time for lunch which was usually a quick candy bar and pop. About fifth hour, you can find me collapsed at my desk, said Thomas. After a three year absence, Thomas is still proud and enthusiastic. We have the most awesome student body there is in Oklahoma City, said Thomas. She also said that through compliments and student cooperation, she gained more energy to come to work. Perhaps, because Thomas thought this was a fun place to work, she had more energy to get the job done. And that she did. jennifer Davis WHO'S NEXT?

Howev- er, many students feel she's been an inspira- tion through her warm sense of humor and her ability to ride a moped. This was Ms. Hulsey's second year here teaching various English courses, such as creative writing, Great Books, and American Literature. She has been a teacher for twelve years. Her education inlcucles a B.A. in speech from Oklahoma City University, and post graduate work in English and writing from the University of Oklahoma. She en- joys fishing, cooking, camping, reading, writing, and riding her moped. I write poetry, usually about emotions, events, or people in my life. I also do quite a bit of personal essay, said Ms. Hulsey. 92 I Revealing Ourselves Being able to reach the students is the key to being a good teacher and helping take the first step towards learning. Ms. Hulsey feels that having raised three children has made her a more accepting, open-minded, and tolerant person and teacher. Her older son is also a teacher. Enjoying teaching and her students is something Ms. Hulsey definitely did. She said that she wouldn't be able to stand her job if she didn't enjoy it. Every time I get fed up with some of the rigamaroe, I'll look out and see that light of understanding go on and it makes all of the rest of it worth it. If I can teach them to think, they can learn all the English, plus anything else, they will ever need to know. jennifer Davis 'K if if' :aw lx no-unison! CREATIVE CLUTTER.

Following are some of the reasons given by the faculty here. Ideas are important to me. In few profes- sions can one read and discuss ideas with people and get paid for doing it. Teaching it so stimulating that one never gets tired of it. William M. Gouldy I understood that our future was in the hands of our younger people. I wanted to be part of the molding of these younger people, especially those younger people who find learning difficult. That's why I mastered in reading. Nancy Taylor I enjoy communicating with people and sharing ideas. I have always been fascinated with learning, so it seemed only logical to go into teaching. Kelly Myers Teaching is a day to day challenge, not ever dull. There's always a task to complete. Even though my initial career was not teach- ing, as I worked and became more interested in young people, I decided that through . ftl fi 3 g teaching I could make my most positive contribution to the children of our future.

O0 5: Into The Real World Four years. That sounds like a large por- tion of life to be spent in high school. To many graduating seniors, it simply went too fast. And with graduation came incredible responsibilities and important decisions to be made about life after high school. For many seniors, however, commence- ment couldn't come fast enough. Plans of college, marriage, independence, or great jobs were too appealing to wait for. Al- though many students were worrying about missing their friends, and the closeness they've become used to in the past years, even more were anxious to get out in the real world and get on with their lives. Plans for the future varied with each per- son. Kim Tilford planned to be a nurse in a high school, while Jody Garrett looked for- ward to a nice home, simple life, and a career in either drafting or electronics . Quinn Robert's goal was to succeed in the business world in either marketing, account- ing, or business administration. Lori Mat- thews saw being a certified public accoun- tant as her possible career choice. Being a social worker or a counselor for abused chil- dren was Leigh McNally's current career decision. Devery Love planned on success . . . in electronics or mechanical engineer- ing. , while Mindi Higbie was interested in dental hygiene. But even though many students had their lives for at least their careersl basically mapped out, even more, like Chris Reeser, had no specilic plans except those for the immediate future. I'm going to leave Oklahoma and have a great time being on my own! The Truth Comes Out It couldn't be avoided.

FOCUS students Sheri Lewis and Erica Bowen work diligently to get their assignments done. One of the program's advantages is that the students are allowed to work at their own pace. A Focus On More There was more to learning than just reading, writing, and arithmetic. Communi- cation played a big part, as well as group participation. In the FOCUS program, stu- dents learned to communicate with others and understand them. Macy Corley said, The best part of FO- CUS is the family atmosphere, the love and understanding we have for one another, and the way we push everyone to do their work. FOCUS was a way to get away from peer pressure. Scott McBee liked FOCUS because I am able to be myself, no matter what. For some, FOCUS was a last resort to stay in high school. In the main building, I ditched everyday, and if I would have stayed there, I would never graduate. said jared Wilson. FOCUS was my last chance and I liked it. explained Dennis Vaughn. Chris johnson said, When you get an assignment, you get an assignment. You don't just get a piece of paper and get asked to answer the questions. I think the school should be one giant FOCUS program. Exposed! Student With this year came plenty of po- litical issues and a growth in political awareness. And not too strangely, adults weren't the only ones in- volved. Many students found the time to help out with politicians' campaigns, as a way of expressing their support. Seniors Mark Sachse, Heather McCoy, and Monica Naukam helped in Henry Bellmon's re-election cam- paign. Their volunteer duties includ- ed looking up phone numbers, put- ting together yard signs, addressing envelopes for campaign mailings, and later on, sorting and addressing envelopes for Bellmon's Inaugural Ball. Monica got her start on volunteer work by first helping with her family, then with her friends. I worked on Bellmon's campaign because, even though I'm a Demo- crat, I wanted to see him win. I've really enjoyed it because I feel that everyone can and should try to make a difference in the political process. The feeling that we did make a dif- ference was, of course, heightened by the fact that our candidate won. My only regret is that I missed being old enough to vote in the election by two weeks! Mark Sachse shared basically the same views. By helping with this campaign, I was made aware of how much time and effort is put into elections of this magnitude. In future years, I hope to participate in many more campaigns. . i.. I f,amiliz,ifl'f '?li 1l! H IE, VW llilfftlflf .gat H,-,-. vi .ME I M, WWW. ii, gi! . f 1 HELPING HANDS.

This was designed to benefit both the school and the various associations involved. McDonald's one of the five spon- sors of the school, supplied refresh- ments for the teachers during semi- nars, hired students from school, and provided grade incentives. Coca- Cola provided drinks for the new vending machines. The Terry Neece personnel agency helped the business department by providing speakers and conducting vocational testing. The Howard Miller Advertising Agency also helped out the business department in numerous other ways. Other benefits the school received were volunteers for career seminars, guest speakers, and company tours. In return, the group sponsors re- ceived an increase in business, im- proved public relations, and hopeful- ly, better trained employees for the future! :az-:ragga-gg:rigfaggm-,-2g.:e.z.,:5,: We-'-we--Neem :rare :g.e:5:e:-a::2i:meze:es::e::e::S:e-:sir ' -- ---- e :ras.:s::s::2':s--:--:--:-: .,,,,,, - .

I understand that this rule is for good reason, and to our advantage- whether we realize it or not-but it's irritating. If we want to smoke on our own time, we should be able to. stated Denise Byrd. Other new policies included lock- ing the student parking lot during class time, enforcement of the Asser- tive Discipline program, new grade incentives, and new designated areas of the school open for the lunch pe- riod. I think the new policies are great, said Koby Grissom, I might not agree with some of them, but I appreciate them. ' 'lA Second Special Year 1986 was the second year for a very special program at school - a program which allowed handicapped students to have a regular high school experience while receiving individualized attention they needed. The program was run by teacher Mrs. Cindy Cody, who gave a first-hand description of the going- ons. As with a lot of things, age allows improvement. stated Ms. Cody. We have come a long way. One thing I like about the program is the fact that every hour of everyday is different. There is not much monotony in the room because everyone works on dif- ferent subjects. My favorite part of the program, though, is the students them- selves! They are all so unique and special! Everyday, they come into my classroom with smiles on their faces. They are so eager to learn and so thankful for what they can do. They have truly showed me a whole different side of life!

But in reality, Student Council members were busy stapling up bulletin boards, hanging signs to advertise school activities, and selling game ribbons. Student Council president Va- lenthia Doolin said, StuCo's purpose is to set examples for the student body and to involve stu- dents in school functions and ac- tivities. This year, Student Council be- gan with the traditional Howdy Week to welcome students back to school. Homecoming Spirit Week was filled with dress-up days and fun evening activities. The Council wrote and per- formed in their assemblies and hoped students would find them funny. In November, the officers at- tended the Oklahoma Associ- ation of Student Councils and learned about leadership. They brought back many new ideas. A Student Congress, consisting of representatives from each club and organization, was set up so that they could plan activities and express grievances shared by the student body. A part of Student Council was fun and games, but it also re- quired community service pro- jects and other work. Members read aloud in Penn Square Mall during National Illiteracy Week and tutored at nearby elementary schools. During Thanksgiving and Christmas, clothes and canned food drives were spon- sored. Also, in November the Thanksgiving Feast that StuCo traditionally held for its members took place. The Annual Cerebral Palsy telethon was presented in january. The school store was re- decorated and each member worked in it for one week per quarter. Another addition was Club of the Month. An organization re- ceived this award on the basis of achievement, community pro- jects, and service to the school. StuCo was a group of students working to make school a better place to be.

Student Council I 105 Enthusiatic Members Students F ulfilled By F CA And O'Club Being involved and active were important factors to students in FCA and O'Club. Whether it was getting together for fun and a speaker at an FCA meeting or to discuss Homecoming activities with other O'Club members, stu- dents knew that there was much to be gained and to do. FCA held a canned good drive and also volunteered to help at the Christmas Connection ware- house. Each month FCA donated money to a missionary family in Germany with Campus Crusade. Bear Spaces were also sold by FCA to other school organiza- tions for them to improve and make the school look better. FCA picked the cafeteria and painted it in school colors. A progressive dinner at Christmas time and exchanging gifts with a secret pal for that week was part of the fun. A Day of Champi- ons was held February 14 at OU for all FCA members across the state. Hershel Walker, a running back for the Dallas Cowboys, was the speaker. I got into FCA because of the fun I saw my friends having that were already members, said Ka- tie Nigh. O'Club was a club for the let- terman of the school. The club's main goal for the year was to make Homecoming week the best yet. To do this they had to come up with a theme. This year they chose Bears are back in stride again. Getting the Home- coming dance put together for a little after the game fun was also part of the job for members. Marcus Woodward said, Mak- ing sure Homecoming was a suc- cess was a tough job but with the help of all the members it was accomplished. FCA and O'Club hoped that they helped students to gain knowledge, get involved with school activities and most of all have fun. Stephanie Ainsworth X its THE GANG.

Skanning a ' D e S I It was deadline day and as the first bell rang they struggled in, clutching their layout design and rough drafts of copy. They were already taking deep breaths at the thought of the incredible work day ahead of them. Bags hung under their eyes, and their facial expressions made clear the many hours of sleep missed with dead- line nightmares. These are just some of the identifying marks of yearbook and newspaper staff members. Being on either one of these staffs required a great deal of dedication, and responsibility, as well as creativity. People think yearbook is the biggest blow off class, and they're wrong, said Sarah Porter. It's really a lot of hard work. Managing Editor Stephanie Booth agreed, Yearbook is a quest for self-fulfillment and personal growth. This past year the yearbook staff, newspaper staff, and pho' tographers put in double over time, due to the fact that over seven rolls of twenty four expo- sure film had scratched negatives. This caused deadlines to be even more frustrating. Being Editor-in-Chief of the newspaper is more challenging than any of my other classes, commented jay Hartzell. The newspaper staff also had to race the clock to meet dead- lines. Stephanie Lowery stated, I dreaded the deadlines but the hard work paid off when the pa- per came out. It was exciting being the Entertainment Editor for the newspaper staff. One dis- advantage was if you made a mis- take you had to answer to every- one, replied Lisa Cloud. A lot of personal sacrifices were made by both staffs, but preserving the history that the students of john Marshall had made was worth it all! Stephanie Ainsworth J. S 1 HOW'S THIS LOOK?

Clubs That Work As one ' Cultural History Clubs Stand Together Our clubs are designed not only for social purposes but also for work. They are organizations for people who want to get ahead in life, stated Dana Valleroy, Human Relations Club president. She felt that being involved in both the Human Relations and the Black History Club was very important. The Human Relations Club was a club that took care of the student body. It is designed to help any student in need, claimed treasurer Erynn Sellers. Dana Valleroy said the club's goal was to help its members build self-confidence. The club's annual speeches and debates were designed for this purpose. The club is very career-oriented. It gives people an opportunity to gain knowledge of political and historical issues, said Dana. The Black History Club is great! I've learned a lot about his- tory and people, said club mem- ber Deedra jordan. Members of the Black History Club felt that being involved was very reward- ing. You can be yourself with- out being laughed at, said offi- cer Erynn Sellers. The club is a family. The officers made a promise to their members that the club would be their family. Under the guidance of advisers Clara Luper and Richard Garrett the clubs planned many activities together. Many of the members participated in the History Fair. Entries ranged from life themes, to love themes, to history themes. The Black History assembly in February and the movie Brother I President were both presented before the student body. The club's members and other stu- dents attended the annual Soul I Bazaar, a trade and industry show in the spring. Though the Human Relations and the Black History Clubs were individual groups, they were united in many ways. They worked side by side to prepare activities that benefited their members and the school. - Sarah Porter I ,Q 'tw CENTER STAGE.

Students Work Hard To Achieve Success A School Clubs Earn Honors To many students this year, the old saying Hard work pays off proved increasingly true. The 27th Annual Young Talent All-State Exhibition was held this March at the Fairgrounds. Six sen- ior portfolio students were selected from one hundred entries. The tal- ented students from john Marshall who were named included Tom Barczak, Grant Kitchens, and Sarah Porter. Mark House and Amy Trione were named as alternate scholarship winners. Mr. Mitch Mertes, arts teacher, said, Young Talent is the star- jewel in the crown of Oklahoma's youth art month activities. This was a banner year for our artists. Not all students proved to have a talent for art. Others seemed more prone to better study habits, finished homework, and impressive grade points. Students that kept up their grade point achieved mem- bership in the National Honor So- ciety. For the first time in recent P . . . . years the initiation ceremony was formally held in the auditorium. As the candidates lit their candles of membership they pledged, among other things, service and leadership. The freshmen and sophomores had to achieve 4. GPA and juniors and seniors, a 5.5 GPA. Earning service points was an- other duty they had. They caroled during Christmas time for senior citizen residents at the Retirement Inn, and assisted in the new after- school tutoring program. The Academic Decathlon team also counted its successes. Eight students made up the team which won the city competitions for the second year in a row. This achievement placed the team first among the city public schools, and in the state competition, sixth among a field of fourteen.

Gospel Choir was another un- usually talented musical group at school. The group consisted of both boys and girls and per- formed at a number of different churches throughout the year. The students involved had a great deal of dedication, shown in the fact that practice was after school and no class in- volving this was offered. How- ever, the students made the best out of it. Being in Gospel Choir, said Alvina Renfrew, is some- thing I chose to do because of the sense of togetherness and teamwork involved. Erica Breath felt proud of her involvement with the choir.

The Ger- man club started the year off with a bake sale, which featured the famous Black Forest cake. Ice skating then on to Shot- gun Sam's for Christmas party, provided a night full of fun for the German Club. Carlos Gon- zales said, Learning to ice skate is a lot easier than learning the German language. LQue Pasa? What's Up. Was a saying that walked the halls each day as Spanish club stu- dents wore their sweatshirts with this motto on them. Fun- draisers and a canned goods drive took place throughout the year. Fundraisers such as selling ceramic bears and candy, helped pay for club activities. Spanish students brought canned goods for needy fam- ilies everyday for two weeks. Each student brought a present for one of the members of that family. One of the greatest feelings was seeing the reaction of the kids when they received their gifts, said Stephanie McMillian. The clubs differ in activities, but they all come together for International Week. During this week each club had a day to sell a type of dish from their coun- try, and then on Friday they brought all their foods together and enjoyed a great cultural feast.

DECA And FBLA Get An' ss o Early Start During fifth and sixth hour the DECA and FBLA rooms were empty, as the students punched in their time cards at their jobs. Working was part of the course. Mr. Clyde Taylor was the ad- viser of DECA and the teacher of the marketing ecucation class. Students had to be en- rolled in this to become a mem- ber of DECA. A barbeque at Taylor's house, a Christmas dinner with tables full of food, and an in- stallation of members in the school cafeteria kept the DECA members busy. DECA's goal was to help students understand the mar- keting business. Steve Sanders said, DECA helps me to un- derstand what to expect in the working world. It also shows me how to treat fellow wor- kers. DECA-It gives you a good understanding about what job you want in the future. It also explains the jobs and lets you know all you want about them said Toya Thompson. Visiting Tulsa for a state convention and Omaha for a national convention were high- lights of the year for FBLA members. Trips to Six Flags and Disney World were for fun. They also planned a trip to Anaheim for a contest and a good time. COE is a class offered only to seniors. It was designed to teach them business skills.

They were able to do this by joining Chefs' Club and VICA. These two clubs helped prepare stu- dents for careers in food services and cosmetology. Chefs' Club's purpose was to give more experience to students interested in food service-related careers. Chefs' Club was related to occupational foods which was the class where all Chefs' Club such as cookies, which they sold to students and faculty.

Accounting, Does It All Add Up? The Students Seem To Think So Grasping the opportunity to get ahead in the business world could have been done by taking any of the many available business courses that were offered this year. The ABC's to this year's business oriented stu- dents could easily have been, accounting, business law, and computers. Other classes, such as shorthand and typing were also on the schedule. Most of those students who found them- selves learning the techniques of accounting, found the class enjoyable. Craig Pierce described the class as Well- run, with the atmosphere as professional as an accounting office, but still casual and fun. 124 0 Bearing Achievements Dale Tryon, senior, liked the class atmo- sphere and said, The class is a challenge and will help me in the future because I'm hop- ing to have my own business. Chris North, junior, said that he thought accounting was an important class because it helped him build his business skills which will be of help in college. The class challenged its students to daily exercises that took time and effort. Pam Porter said, It was really hard work and it kept you busy all hour.

Law Class Catches Student Interest Learning and knowing your rights as a student and citizen should matter to every- one. It was special priority of the students in Mr. Frazier's business law class. Eric Stewart said, I took business law because it was the only class I could get into first hour. However, I did learn a lot. It was a benefit I didn't ask for. Kristi Monnot said, I took the class to learn more about the law and how it affects me. It showed me how the law was , concerned with people my age, as well as adults.

For most, it improved note taking, mak- ing it quicker and easier. It helped a few by giving them good job skills. Many agreed that it was easier than it looked.

' aw x The Workers O Tomorrow Getting A Head Start Today Two of the most popular business related courses offered this year had to have been the typing and computer courses. They both helped the students in the present and future. If a student needed a one semester course they could easily turn to these classes, al- though typing was usually considered a full year course. LeAnn Burge said that she hoped to use it in her future career plans. The computer and typing classes gradu- ally increased their skills during the year through their one- on-one experiences with the machinery. The members of the intro- ductory class for computers were a little impatient about waiting to work on the ma- chines, but they eventually got their turns. Tammy Grubb described her first semes- ter as a lot of book work. Winston Hamilton said, Computer class was quite interesting and important for fu- ture use of computers during life. Tricia Rice said, I thought that being in a computer class was a great experience and it would help me in the future.

Classes O 125 From Verbs To Plays From the chore of diagraming sentences, to the hilarious results when students rewrite a fairy tale, English classes this year were as diverse as ever. The A.P. English classes started the year reading classic Greek lit- erature. They then went on to study Renaissance culture and Shakespearean works. jeff Coe, junior, enjoyed study- ing the historic works because of their timelessness . The knowl- edge you gain from reading Greek literature can be applied to every- day life, Coe said. In Mrs. Marion Hulsey's Cre- ative Writing class, they rewrote Little Red Riding Hood during the first nine weeks. The result showed several promiscuous Little Red's, a couple of perverted wolves, and at least one Little Red Transvestite. junior Danielle Sellman enjoyed the freedom of expression that Hulsey allowed in her student's writings. It's a great way to ex- press myself without getting in trouble. she said. Others took the class as an alter- native to the cut and dry English grammar or literature class. I thought it might be a lot more exciting than a boring Eng- lish class, Derek Price, senior, said. In English II, one of the major events of the year was reading Wil- liam Shakespeare's julius Caesar, the tale of the fall of the Roman Empire and the intrigue surround- ing Caesar's assassination. Al- though it is a classic in literature, most students found it rather long and confusing. However, others found it inter- esting. Causby Clay, sophomore. found the ending parts the most interesting. The assassination and the final battle had lots of action, Clay said. English, from freshmen to sen- iors, had a class for everyone. From basic grammar to the advanced theories of classic literature, wher- ever you were, you could have your fill of English. Bill Breedlove STUDYING DILIGENTLY. A.P. English classes were popular this year. The harder work and college credit for work done attracted increasing numbers of students.

NO! History was more than that this year. It was why peo- ple acted as they did, what their motives were, and how they fell from power. World History started with the dawn of civilization, then went on to the classic cultures of the Mid- dle Ages. The importance of wealth, power, and commerce were stressed in Mr. Alan Ambrister's class. The way Mr. Ambrister puts things makes his class interesting, junior jeff Sullins. His ideas are different so that you see it's more than just names and dates. For American History, students could take any of several different teachers. Perhaps, none were more unique than Mrs. Clara Luper. Luper is a different kind of teacher, lecturing her classes on the finer points of history, and then letting them act out the actual events. The students learn how the personal- ities affected how the people react- ed in'their roles. We acted out the Constitution-H al , Conventions,f' said Stephen Lewis, sophomore. Then, we de- bated slavery with the students portraying states and acting as they would have. It was really interest- ing. In the combined Oklahoma HistoryfGovernment classes, one semester of the year was devoted to each subject. Government de- fined the basic governmental sys- tems, and separated them from the economic systems they are often confused with. Oklahoma History began with early Oklahoman civil- ization and went on to U.S. inter- vention with Indians in the East and their removal to Oklahoma. I didn't realize how badly the government treated the Indians, freshman Stephen Dean said. Where Oklahoma History was a close-up look at our states heri- tage, A.P. History was a year long examination of the U.S. In A.P. History, the students learned the story behind the story. They learned why events really hap- pened. It goes real fast, Senior jon Godsey said, If you can keep up it's great. Mr. Garrett adds life to the class. you're doomed to repeat it, a fam- ous man once said. This year the classes gave students plenty of op- portunities to learn from history if they took the chance. Bill Breedlove HISTORY BREAK. American History was required for graduation.

During one of the Psychology class's many debates, Senior Greg Hawkins defends his stand as Seniors Lori Bishop and Tom Barczak back him up. Yolanda Hawkins, senior, en- joyed the debates because of the openness of them. It empha- sizes the issues of the day, she said. You talked about everything and everyone could speak out. The instructor, Mrs. Dolly Turner, also brought in a hypnotist. However, because of liabilities and school regulations, he wasn't able to demonstrate his abilities. A lot of people wanted to get hypnotized, said Barczak. It dis- appointed most everybody. The whole class was pretty dis- appointed when the hypnotist couldn't hypnotize a student. A very in-depth class, psycholo- gy thoroughly explored everything that they discussed, from moral issues like suicide or abortion, to mental powers such as E.S.P. and hypnotism. If you think learning more about the world around you is exciting, Psychology could help explain it.

My favorite part of this class, and physics also, was solving the chal- lenging problems. You know you've learned something when you've solved some of them. Enrollment in such classes as chemistry, physics, calculus, trigo- nometry, and analytical geometry was higher than ever before, mainly because so much emphasis was placed on college preparatory classes this year.

The chapter is not just active during the school year but also the three months during the summer. Last summer they held a barn dance, complete with band, for the Oklaho- ma Foundation for the Disabled, a barb-b- que for the incoming freshmen to get aquainted with the program and just fun activities for the members. During the school year the chapter stayed just as busy hosting their local show, setting up displays at local shopping centers, and presenting speeches and slide shows to com- munity organizations. During the Christmas season the chapter sang carols and delivered sweets to a nearby nursing home. With the help of the horticulture classes they planted a living Christmas tree in the Louise Lillard Memorial Garden to help the beautification program for that area. They also provided the animals for a live nativity scene during a Christmas play presented by a community church. The organization participated in many leadership activities through speech contests and attendance at district, state, and national leadership conferences. The chapter held a local speech and quiz contest. They also traveled to the State and National conven- tions.

This year the chapter also participated in a national FFA program entitled Building Our American Communities. Their project for this program was to renovate the Chil- dren's Barnyard at the State Fairgrounds. On the academic side, during class time the students found not all things learned in an agriculture class were meant for the farm but could be easily adapted to every day life. These included learning to figure income taxes of depreciation, record keeping skills or all about engines and machinery. They also learned something which comes in handy while grocery shopping, meat judg- ing. They learned about stock market and traded commodities in class. Students also picked up tips on insurance, resumes and job interviews. The horticulture classes were also very active and particpated in FFA activites. Dur- ing the year they did such things as land- V scape community churches, the chapter barn, and various other places. The FFA is not only just another organi- zation. It is a world of knowledge. It is a lot of hard work, but the FFA can benefit every- one at one time or another. said Valerie Cartwright. -Amy Wade l j A. i i I il i i i ? I A BANANA TREE.

Lights, Animals, Action - It's Showtime' SPEAKING UP. FFA president Darrell David speaks at FFA banquet after being newly elected for the school year. One type of competition the FFA was involved in was livestock shows. Showing livestock was a 24 hour job. Animals became not just a project but an obssesion. To be the best, and to achieve the best took con- centration and dedication. To feed each animal correctly, to exercise the animal for muscle and trimness, and to groom it to perfection were parts of the adoption of that animal. The animals were as excited and nervous as the students at a show. Going to a show meant warm clothes and long days 16:00 a.m. to around 10: p.m.j for the student. The animals must be cared for constantly at a show. After waiting several hours in long lines to weigh in and enter some of the grooming process began. This meant wash- ing and drying the animal rain or shine, clipping or trimming the hair or wool and tending to many minor details. Then the student stepped into the show ring. Every show brought memories to differ- ent people The chapter showed at the Tulsa State Fair in October during the last fall and the people who showed at Kansas City this year were kept so busy they never made it to the National Convention with everyone else. But they can also bring good memories. A student can bring home the Grand Champi- on or maybe even just a first ribbon, then he knows he worked for his achievements and it paid off.

In the auto shop students learn how to fix their cars as well as perform maintenance. Working on the engine, Todd Tucker, Lloyd Robinson, and jerry Smith put their skills to use. Hands On Makes It Interesting Who takes auto shop and why? A wide variety of people take it- girls, guys, anybody who wants to learn more about cars. Students learn to diagnose and repair just about anything wrong with a car. They get hands on training repairing their own cars rather than just learning text book theory. The class involves one hour of theory and two hours of hands on training. Hands on training makes it better because you learn by doing instead of studying, said Lloyd Robinson. I'm better with my hands than in books. Working on the cars attracted students to the class. Learning about how cars run and how to fix them also brought in students. I wanted to learn about how the engine worked, said Ann Kiser. However, BJ. Grimes saw a fi- nancial outlook to taking shop. I felt that learning more about cars could save money, time, and be useful when problems occured, he said. Being in class for three hours is different than most classes, but the students got used to it. Being in the same class for three hours, you get to know ev- eryone really well, Ann said. It gives you a break from your other classes because your hands do most of the work. I like being in class for three hours because it gives us more time to work, Lloyd said. Auto mechanics was a helpful Creative Thoughts Pour From The sound of whirring blades and the spray of sawdust let you know it was the wood shop. The miniature frame of a house and various other wooden creations back up your assumption. When you mix a room full of wood and tools with a group of creative students, almost anything can come out. This year, a variety of reindeer, bookshelves, clocks, even cabinets and chests resulted. The woodworking shops let students work on individual pro- l 1 jects at their own speed. A relaxed atmosphere gave students the time to make their projects turn out like they wanted them. It's a low pressure class , said Mr.-Iery Frazier, teacher. Everyone can be successful at it. Students agreed. They enjoyed the relaxed working atmosphere. Working at their own level gave a break from the hard line of other classes.

Students made everything from Ron Skrasek's reindeer, to a roll top desk which Tony Nelson made for his mom. How can this be school, some might ask. It's too much fun. Well, in this case school is fun. A hard line is hard to follow if you have a successful class that is relaxed.

How about drawing with CAD? If you took drafting this year you probably learned to enjoy them. Drafting, or mechanical drawing, as it is sometimes called, is a class where students learned to draw ma- chinery and buildings. Drafting was helpful to careers that involved de- signing or building from plans. I got a better understanding of drafting so I could go to college with a clearer idea of what it was about, said Eric Stewart. You can use it in carpentry to solve compli- cated problems. Computer aided design, or CAD, was a hit with the drafting students. The computer was able to draw a line between points set by the stu- dents. As the student connected lines and added complex curves and circles, anything from a car to an Air Force fighter plane could be made. Perfecting their drawings was im- portant to the students. More than straight lines that met, a finished drawing needed to be clear and con- cise so that others could read it. You can take your time, Erynn Sellers said. You can make it per- fect when you're finished. You can work at your own pace, Eric said. You can think clearer while drawing. COMPUTER HELPER. Computer aided design has changed the way drafting students work. Brian Monroe modifies a car design. When drawing, students used var- ious symbols on their works to clari- fy them. Extension lines were used in dimensioning drawings to show size and proportions. Three-view draw- ings showed various angles of the object as it rotated from a front view, to a side view, to a top view, thus three-view. There's more than just lines in making a drawing, Erynn said. Diversity And Skills Bring Where would you go to learn about five mechanical areas in one class? Here you would have to take C.V.E.T. The class brings together metal- work, welding, electronics, small engine repair, and machine shop. Students worked on individual pro- jects ranging from lamps and tables, to metal artworks, and even a sail car. In a small engine repair students took apart lawn mowers engines, fixed what was broken, and rebuilt them. lt's a challenge, said Mary Hardick, You get to learn new things. Others enjoyed the com- plex nature of the class and the pro- jects they worked on. The many different parts that could be worked on provided a challenge. Rebuilding lawnmowers is dif- ferent from most classes, said Mary Barton. You can work on different projects. SPARKS OF CREATIVITY. Metal shop let students choose their own projects. Sparks fly as Darin Haggins cuts a pipe during class. Students In Robert Bissette made a sailcar for his project. I took it to learn a trade, Robert said. To make some money to put me through college. Money was important to the stu - dents seeing Oklahoma's financial outlook. They were looking to learn a skill that they could earn money with after school. Theres lots of good paying jobs out there right now for weld- ers, Barton said. You can work on cars or a lot of other things. The students in C.V.E.T. were exposed to many new areas during the school year. Displaying their projects at the Vocational Fair at Crossroads Mall gave students a goal to work for. A wide variety of projects and students made the welding shop a busy place this year. Bill Breedlove There are hidden lines and mea- surements that you need to include in the drawing. More than just drawing lines, that was what made drafting dif- ferent. Forming works that showed thought and creativity pressed the students to use their- minds in mak- ing their projects. Bill Breedlove Industrial Arts 0 133 Sho ing ur Talent Drama Offers Opportunities Can you imagine what it would be like to be able to step into the shoes of another person and be- come that person? That's what drama is all about. Students in this class enjoy the ability of becoming a character in a play and stepping out of their own personality. When you're acting you do a lot of different things on stage and TV that you wouldn't normally do in window, landing on a trash bin, and walking away alive, said Sherri johnson. Michelle Rosanelli added, I love funny movies and drama gives me a chance to par- ticipate in those roles. I also think drama improves my self-confi- dence.

Behind The Scenes Working behind the stage is a very important job, and that is what the technical theater class does. Few people realize what a complicated job it is. I love it. It's one of my favorite things to do, said sophomore Brett Gil- bert. The tech crew operated the sound, lights, curtains, and props for all the assemblies and plays. They ran the sound and lighting systems for the Cere- bral Palsey telethon. They also worked on the sets for the play The Good Doctor performed by the drama class. Sophomore jay Albertson, the tech crew stage manager, said, I enjoyed technical theater because I got to work with my hands. It was a big challenge. junior Corbin Yarbrough added, It was a lot of fun and was really interest- ing. I've learned a lot. Laura Fisher MIXING THE LIGHTS.

Dail Smith Y' journalism Offers Surprises journalism is, for the most part, a class surrounded by mystery. Three types of students enroll in journalism: Those who are really interested in the subject and want to write, those who are indifferent to a writing career but want to take the class, and those who don't have any idea what the class is about or what they will be required to do. I didn't know what I was sign- ing up for, said junior Eric Rus- sell. I thought it would be a blow- off class, but it's not. Senior Yolanda Hawkins has used journalism to help prepare for her later profession. It helps to prepare you because you learn new methods of writing, but more than that it helps you learn to make deadlines. Yolanda also said, I know I want to be a writer but I don't know what field I want to go into. Many of the journalism students plan to become members of the yearbook or newspaper staffs. I would like to be on the newspaper staff and journalism will help me get ready because we work on leads and features and discuss them as a class, said freshman So- nya Carter. journalism can also be an inter- esting and enjoyable class. The class is very relaxed. We discuss our stories in groups and share dif- ferent opinions, said sophomore Barbie Barton. Freshman Carlton Lewis added, I enjoy going out and getting stories. Laura Fisher I took journalism to learn more about writ- ing for newspapers and magazines. I think it has paid off.

Students Warm To Fitness It was a place of dirty sweat socks and shoes, grime covered t- shirts, and the home of enormous school pride and spirit. The boys' gym was the sight of numerous pep assemblies, but everyday it was the home for phys- ical education classes. The day to day activities may have seemed dull, but they were important to the students who took them. Working on overall physical fit- ness, classes were exposed to a va- riety of individual and team sports. As they worked on many different activities, it was hoped the students could find a sport that was enjoy- able for them. Gym students had a variety of sports to choose from through the year, from football, to weightlift- ing, volleyball, and basketball. Each sport had its own followers for their own reasons. I enjoy the exercise, joseph Blevins said. joe cited his plans to enter the Air Force Academy and a requirement for physical fitness, Physical fitness seemed to be important to the students this year. The health and fitness craze looks like it's hit. Lifting weights in the gym ap- pealed to some. I like to get in shape, said Ted Wilson. Lifting weights lets you build muscles while shaping up. just getting in shape isn't always it, though. When people are in- jured, it takes awhile to get back in shape. Work on the injured part of the body is especially needed. I took gym because I needed the exercise, said Michael Collins. Mi- chael cut his leg earlier in the year and needed to work it to get it back in shape. The calisthenics were really good for my leg, he said. Fitness for fitness's sake, it's not such a bad idea since it can add years to a life. Day in, and day out, the students kept up their work, trying to improve themselves. Striving, they worked to develop themselves. As they grew inner strength and confidence gained ground, the students were able to rec- ognize their full potential, on and off the playing field, court, or wherever they might be.

Working all year for two big recitals, they took instructor Mrs. Dolly Turner's word that practice made perfect. Working on the aesthetics of dance, forming the grace and charm, students were able to find their own hidden talents, build friendships, and fulfill their fanta- sies. People should feel what it is like to perform on a stage in front of others, said Rhonda Robinson. You're able to open up to oth- ers, Tamara Moaning said. You can show others what it is like. Performing in front of people was a favorite for the dance mem- bers. The lights, the music, the en- ergy in the air gave the students an incentive to go out in front of oth- Performing on a stage is what it is all about, Rhonda said. It's enriching and an experience. The Performing Dance Group was made up of advanced dance members. The group performed at some school activities as well as at the Arts Festival and other external engagements. As a member of the group, Rhonda saw herself as a role model. There's more responsibility, she said. Members of the other classes look up to you. They keep you on your toes. Though the lack of assemblies cut down on the number of times the dancers could perform, they were still a motivated group that worked hard to perfect their rou- tines. Being able to perform in front of others is an important part of life. The ability to dance to a crowd was important to members of the dance troupe. With all the potential that the dancers showed, the year was bright for the dance classes. Bill Breedlove ers. ii bg i . S, .,.. ,,.,, . A i . ' , . ,.,.,... . ' ,.i.v. a if 'A i ,,,, . A ' .

David Randolph Motivated Artists Abilities Unleashed There's a secret artist hidden in every one of us, and it usually takes some motivation and encourage- ment to cultivate those talents. That's exactly what the art classes have done. Students want to be able to ex- press themselves. Art lets me be myself and it allows me to express my feelings about life, said j.D. Whitson. At least one fine arts credit was required for graduation. I took art for a credit but I found art to be a very interesting class, said Sheri Butler. - Beginning art students worked on many different arts and crafts projects. Students were able to dabble in a wide range of art forms to find one that appealed to them. Then advanced students were able to expand their individual interests and enter their works in contests. Art classes provided activities from ceramics to painting, to learning how to draw. Doing things like this gave students a feeling of accomplishment which made the class more enjoyable.

More students enrolled in the or- chestra class, allowing a group to perform for school functions. Ms. Brenda Wagner, teacher, saw an in- crease in the number of students with more enthusiasm. With more interest, it gave stu- dents more chances to perform and meet new people. We've gone from the five enrolled last year, said Gail Summers, to 17 enrolled this year. The effect has been an improvement in playing skills and more public ap- pearancesf' Increased numbers allowed the members of the orchestra to partici- pate in more events.

The daily class routine consisted of a ten minute warm-up and polishing up for any coming event. The students learned music under various titles and by a variety of composers. With the goal of building a bet- ter music program that they and the school would be proud of, they worked even harder to establish themselves. The choir's teacher Mrs. Denise Caton, said, I was proud of the progress that the de- partment made. There was a sin- cerity in these students that I had not seen in my other years of teaching. They performed in public at Christmas and in the Christmas Concert. Another achievement was making the All-City Chorus.

Too Few Players Season Brings Triumphs And Heartbreak After a summer of daily practice and tough workouts, the varsity team got off to a great start, proving that their hard work paid off. However their 3-0 winning streak didn't last long. A 35-13 loss to Yukon proved to be one of the big disappointments of the season. Vince Lorenson said, The weather in Yukon affected everyone. We were not conditioned to playing in the rain. It was upsetting to break our winning streak. By the end of the season the team was 4-6, with a win over Putnam City, which was a first since 1974. Coach Torres said, We had a low turnout of players, with eight-seniors, only two of whom played offense and defense. We were playing against teams with up to 90 players. We need to get stronger, get more people and play as a team. Most valuable player awards were given by the team to senior Dail Smith, junior Barrett Ryals, sophomore Stan Abernathy, for the offense, and junior Charles Franks, and junior Steve Maddex for defense. Barrett Ryals was the state 5A leading passer completing 155 passes for 2572 yards averaging 257.2 yards a game and passing for 16 touchdowns. He was also a KXY player of the week for his efforts in the Putnam City game. Barrett said, I could not have done any of these things without the help of my team. Charles Franks was a 5A leader on offense and defense, averaging 22.3 yards on 39 catches and scoring 12 touchdowns. On de- fense he had 6 pass interceptions. He was player of the week not only for KXY radio but also for KOMA and MY107 radio sta- tions, and the Daily Oklahoman. Charles said, This team is different because when we were young most of us played against each other. But we forgot all of that and played together.

Although the football season was disap- pointing to the freshmen team, lack of effort A Potential was not the reason. The few players the team had played their hardest, but very little was gained for their hard work. The season was not as successful as was expected, mostly due to the low turn out of players. Although only nineteen showed up, this proved to have a few advantages. One was the fact that everyone got to play a lot. This was Coach jack Harding's comments on the team.

You either love it or you hate it. It requires a lot of time, effort, and the ability to take pain, but the rewards you get from it and being able to say 'I did my best' make it all seem worth it. These thoughts of Tom- my Gooch explain why he runs. And the team's performance has shown that they have what it takes. The boys' team only had one senior this year, Tripp Lake. He said, Our team had a lot of depth. We were young, but everyone did his best. The boys won All-City again for the fourth time in a row, but they did not stop there. They took fourth place at Regionals which qualified them for State where they placed eighth. This was the second time in ten years that the boys were able to go to state. iommy Gooch led the team placing first at All-City, Second at Regionals, and second at state. ' Five of the seven top runners were fresh- men. This being their first year they did exceptionally well in helping the team with their victories. Freshman Steve Smith said, I feel that I put out my very best and I'm going to stick with it. I think our team did great, especially with Tommy Gooch leading the way. The girls' team was also impressive. La- Shon Osbourne, who led the team, placed first at All-City, first at Regionals, and eighth at State. Overall, the girls won their eighth All City in the last nine years, first at Regionals and fourth at State.

With a shortage of returning starters the team found a season of new starters. Regardless of this and other setbacks they maintained a fairly even season of wins and losses. This year they faced the most highly com- petitive conference in Oklahoma. On the average a team from the Oklahoma city con- ference has won state. The first game of the season against Mill- wood was quite a character builder. After being defeated by Millwood, the Bears beat Northeast and Northwest. After that the sea- son went up and down with many wins and losses. They also showed a strong comeback after a second loss to Millwood. In response to the loss the Bears defeated Northeast on an away court 58-57. This was their best game of the season. A major asset to the team were the Sen- E K.. X, if iors. They worked hard and showed their pride in the Bears. Its been a good season with lots of talent that helped us do well. I hope they do well next year. Said Dwayne Gipsdn. Quinn Roberts also had something to say I didn't think we played to our full potentialg but we had many players who had always given their best and were a great help. Overall, we've had a pretty good year. Many players were outstanding and were an asset. Quinn Roberts exhibited leadership and gained many points by both regular shots and free throws. Senior Marcus Woo- dard also was a valuable player serving as point guard and setting offense. Many useful underclassmen contributedg they included joe Bartee, Charles Craine and Thomas Hart. With the leadership of a returning starter, and the many experienced and gifted players, the team pulled out a successful season.

Although the sea- son was successful, injuries were a major factor. The loss of three year starter Steve Karr, who broke his leg, and three year start- er Brent Lee whose leg was paralyzed during an operation, seemed to affect the team. Getting better this year Thirasack Chang- kacith, Tom Ward, Matt Glazner, Bryan Morland, and Earnest Young won most of their matches. Good news came from Eisenhower with new coach Eddie Taylor who worked with the seventh, eighth and ninth graders. This helped strengthen the program. At All-City the team average was low but individuals finished by beating most of the people placing ahead of them. I think this year we had a strong team. We practiced hard. Of all the sweat the re- wards of wrestling were worth it. These were Thirasack Changkacith's thoughts about the year. Jonathan Buford thinks that wrestling is a tough sport. In my opinion it's the toughest sport in high school. We try hard to repre- sent our school well. Tom Ward said I feel the team worked very hard. Wrestling is a fun sport and I enjoy it. I did my best to help the team grow. Earnest Young said, The reason I wrestle is to be the best I can be. I really want to be a good wrestler so I practice to get better. Matt Glazner felt this way. Wrestling is not a sport one plays to win. Wrestling is a sport one fights to win. I feel that it helps me to be around others that strive so hard to win. Demetrick Davis told why he wrestled. Because I want to be the best and to win a championship it takes a lot of hard practice. Bryan Morland said, Since I've started wrestling my attitude about everything has changed. It has given me discipline. I wish I had a few more years with the team. All in all it was a pretty good year. Most of the kids pushed themselves to reach their potential. We made changes in our program which should bring some very positive re- sults, said Coach Richard Killgore in sum- ming up the year.

Derek Cozzens and Heather Coz- zens also qualified in a few individual events. I qualified in many events for state this year, but I plan to work hardest in the 100 fly in order to make All American, said Derek Cozzens. In order to achieve their goal the swim team worked hard. Practices began at 2:45 and went on until 4 o'clock. Students could be seen there swimming in a variety of styles. Some people worked on their starts while others worked on their strokes and turns. The practice was hard but was fulfilling and paid off in the long run, said Stephen Lewis. Everyone was busy swimming distances like 500 yards or sprinting 50 yards. All of their work paid off and could be seen in their Casady where both boys and girls were vic- glad about all our victories, first meet swimming against torious. I'm especially the ones against teams we haven't beaten in years, said Heather McCoy. The season went well from there on. The boys only lost once to Putnam City, but defeated them at the Putnam City quad-meet. The girls also only lost one meet against North- east. From there they were victorious. The swim team also had a new head coach, Mr. jerry Frazier. Serving last year as assistant coach, Frazier had experience in swimming. Mr. Frazier was a major reason for the victorious season of the boys and girls teams. The season was successful and for the first time in years we've beaten all the PC schools, said justin Frazier. Another factor was the three Kerr McGee swim club members. Having the experience gained from the swim club, Derek Cozzens, justin Frazier, and Heather Cozzens were major assets.

One all' Depending on who you were the 1986-87 school year was a different story. Most everyone had memories of that guy or girl they would die to have a date with, Student Council assemblies, sports activities, and even the classrooms, followed by grades- good or bad. It was a tale of new faces, new changes, and definitely new successes. The first chapter was the fresh- men. They joined the groups and clubs in which they were interested. They would in time take over the offices seniors had left behind. At the The thing I like the best about john Marshall is the teachers and the way they help you to the best of their abilities. Monique Harding junior The greatest thing about john Mar- shall is playing on the tennis team. It gives me the chance to be involved in school lifeboth inside and out of the classroom, as well as a chance to compete with others. Bonnie Waters freshmen other end the seniors participated in all they could because they knew it was for the last time. Graduation was drawing near and no one wanted to finish anywhere but on top. The class of '87 is closing the door . . . because after us there are no more, became the seniors theme for their year. So many different personalities- well over 1300-were on view. Every- one had their own endeavors, re- sponsibilities, dreams, and even dress. Whether they wore Guess overalls, oversized sweaters, jean jackets, high tops, stirrup pants, or a combination of styles, all were a part of the story, and a part of the pride at school. One last glance for all was a look at the past year, and the one thing they all had in common, the cause of all the pride-the school it- self. With it's new policies, new gym floor, and freshly painted rooms-this was the place to be. Everyone had made another year great!! The hard part was over as the last final was taken. As for bearing it all, that was easy! v HEY AND MORE HAY. These students show that the Student Council sponsored hayride was the place to be. Bearing It All' O 185 4 N, ,. .... M ..

Wm Back fu, Agabo 'B IM As summer ended, with enrollment, it was time for school and the classroom atmosphere once again. Students were restless inside for the first couple weeks, still longing to be outdoors and free from the burdens of homework. The year started with new policies, rules, and board enforced longer days for juniors and sen- iors. With the first of the year came the fall, bringing Howdy Week, and Homecoming. Bears are back in stride again, the 1987 Home- coming theme, fit right in. This year's game was not as pleasing as all had hoped, the Bears experienced a 13-14 loss to Lawton Ike. Winter brought us the usual basketball, wres- tling, swimming, and semester finals. This winter even brought a snow day after a record setting 8 to 10 inches of snow. This was more snow than anyone had seen since 1944. Besides spending From, Ewwaueul' Tv Gwhmmm money, the school also raised money through service projects for others. This year's Cerebral Palsey telethon generated over 31500. Next came the spring, which brought spring sports, Twirp Week, MAT tests, and the dreaded final exams. From measurements for caps and gowns to graduation on May 28th the second semester for all, and the last one for this year's seniors, sped by. A quick look at the year and activities and it might be labeled as normal However, with the new changes, and over 1300 different personal- ities most considered it special.
