We look at academics, sports, student life, and people through the eye of a falcon. Falcons look at situations and approach them head on with their full strength. The best example of our keen sight and ability to tackle obstinate situations is when Millwood was rated as 1 in the state in area academics. Other examples are the way our athletes took on their opponents and achieved great heights in football, basketball, and track. The magnitude of the achievements in sports and academics is not uncommon to us Falcons because we are just following a tradition that has been set 80 years before. The preceding Falcons made names for themselves by looking through their eyes and more than that. They saw things and by discerning and comprehending them they made it to the top. We are heading in the same direction achieving the same goals in addition to looking at more than what is just in front of us. We’ve worked hard to show you what we saw but you have to see more than just the pages to see things, THROUGH THE EYE OF A FALCON!!!

Or is she? Theme • 3 STUDENT LIFE: “Through the Eye of a Falcon” Since 'Jammin was banned from the school parking lot, this group of students decided to take the par- ty elsewhere! Giving us a demonstration in the art of “Chilling out”, is Wayland Cubit standing by his new 1986 Mustang. Student Life • 5 A perfect example of friendship is shown by Keisha Jackson and Hope Miller. Since ninth graders don’t get to go out for lunch, Kym Maddex enjoys her cafeteria food, while Cyndi Webb trys to decide if she should eat it. 6•Student Life Falcon Life Student life changes with the seasons and ex- pands as the school tears roll by. Each year, a student struggles to feel free in the grip of newer, stricter rules and regulations. Each year, a stu- dent will exercise their talents and gifts in organizations, be it athletics, music, or academics. Each year, students will either follow the latest fashions and trends or they will stress originality and exhibit their own style. Abiding stricter rules, learning the latest dance steps, participating in group organizations, and know- ing people are all part of the many facets of stu- dent life. However, the most important aspects of student life are getting good grades and being a model student. So student life marches on. Students keep busy to minimize the wait, for one day they will receive diplomas and be recognized. Until then, students will learn as much as they can and enjoy themselves as much as possible. Some of the yearbook staff have no pictures, so they find time to do other things such as, Angela Johnson playing with her rings, Marcus Car- ruthers and Carol Finley looking in a magazine, Kenya Jackson wondering what to do next, and Lonna Ballard showing her biggest smile.

Jay Farmer tries to talk Jackie Reynolds into giv- ing him some of that milkshake. Judith Smith and Tonya Scruggs are more in- terested in last week’s gossip rather than the preview game. Oh no! The school is falling down! That’s why we have James Carpenter, Micheal Lewis, and John Brown to hold up the walls! 8 • Student Life Since Junior High students are not allowed to leave campus, they enjoy their lunch in the cafeteria. Back to the Books Well, it’s that time again. Time to get our minds back on the books after what we feel was a rather short summer. Many sutdents often think of school as a daily routine, a place we have to go to day after day, and for that reason many think of it as boring. But, if we start to work together as one big happy fami- ly, we can make 1986-87 the best year for us all, and in time, it’ll make us feel better about ourselves and our school. And may we continue to see a bigger and brighter future . . . “Through the Eyes of a Falcon.” On blue and white day, during homecoming week, these Falcons showed their spirit by painting their faces blue and white: Steven Bowen, Jay Harris. John Brown, Wayland Cubit, Melvin Carr, Herbert Wyatt, Derrick Farmer, Darvas Goss, and Stacey Kelley. Student Life • 9 Something caught the attention of seniors Bridgettc Criswell, Carol Finley, Marcus Carruthcrs and Angela Johnson; but Kelly Jackson wanted to pose. This is one reason we’re not suppose to take food or candy from the lobby. The muchies are a little hard to control; just ask Cotrina Overstreet and Bruce Pendelton who are sharing a treat during Mrs. Hubbard's 5th hour English class. Enthused at the football game Harvey Lehman, Reuben Tucker, Stephen Joseph, Chris Jett, John Brown and Ricky Jett pay close attention. 10 Student Life Trying to convince Coach Ollison to let her through The Food and Nutrition class holds the attention of Kelly Jackson and the hall is Angela Johnson. Wadandra Lenox. The “Wood” in Action If there was one thing we were, it was active. With all the classwork, football games, and pep assemblies, we were always busy trying to achieve our goals. There is always something going on at the “Wood”. We always feel as though we have to be everywhere, and in everything. It was a com- bination of all these things and more that make the Falcon Family. Fourth hour yearbook class requires lots of hard work and dedication, and sometime even staying after school as portrayed by Wayland Cubit who is hard at work in the darkroom. Student Life • 11 I wonder how Darryl Carter managed to get those fries since he can’t go off campus for lunch and it’s obvious they came from Wendy’s. Into some heavy gossiping are Rosalyn Nelson and Vicki Smallwood. 12 • Student Life During a pep assembly, Edward Clark shows his spirit by wearing a wig as Edie Overall laughs. Showing off a little Falcon Pride are Falcon drummers William Simms, Charles Ford, and Leon Coffey. Student Life • 13 Fads and Fashions In the eighties, fads and fashions change rapidly and the Falcons keep up and change with them. In the year of 1986, we have watched Nike’s fall to Reebok’s, Gucci’s fall to Coaches and Plaids to Polos fall to Pasley. So instead of wasting time and money on fashion shows and magazines, just come by and set your upon a “FASHIONABLE FALCON.” Jherry curls by Stacey Kelly and Scissor-Scissor cut by Joanna Bowie are displayed. Eel and Anaconda boots are shown by D.D. Wilson and Tony Harris. These hairstyles are in popular demand by Stephen Joseph and Wadandra Lennox. 14«Student Life The Coach Bags of the 80’s are shown by: Tracy Hardwick, Tiffany Paques, The Falcons step on top of fashion in and Carol Finley.

Fads and Fashions • 15 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Don’t get the wrong idea, wearing Nike Jogg- ing Suits to school is against the rules, but Detrell Wilson and Russell Allen took the op- portunity to pose for a picture. Showing how to “ham it up” are Kim Johnson and LaShawn Washington, wearing their mat- ching berets which have become very fashionable. 16 • Fads and Fashions Displaying their Anaconda, Ostrich, and Snakeskin boots are Kelly Jackson, Lee Stolbach, and Stephanie Booker. Fads and Fashions� 17 SPORTS: Through the Eye of a Falcon” Keeping his head up after the unsuccessful game against Douglass during the football previews at Taft Stadium is Mar- cus Camithers. Falcon Pride Pride is the backbone of the Millwood Falcon football team. The coaches instill pride among the players and the players carry it onto the field every day. The players prove their pride and dedication to the team by practic- ing every weekday after school. The scorching heat, freezing winds, or sometimes Saturday mornings cannot stop Coach Robinson from having pracitce. The Falcons endure all of the weeks pressures for the climactic Friday games. Winning the first game of the season 40-7 against Star Spencer was not enough. The varsity football team went on to crush Northeast and devastate Douglass at the highly anticipated Soul Bowl. Those memorable games all con- tain a common factor: P-R-I-D-E!!! Quarterback, Leodies Robinson, pitches the ball to James Carpenter in hope to gain some yardage. Football • 19 After the game, Nathan, Coach Robinson, Gary, and Marcus realize how practice has helped them deal with fatigue in the game. Michael Lewis shows his care and affection towards his nephew after a big win. 20 Football Finding time to take a break during practices are tenth graders Shon Peoples, George Finley and David Miller. Practice Makes Perfect Football is our most popular extra cur- ricular activity. We are known for our tradi- tion and dominating teams. The football players eat, drink, and sleep football; in other words they live the life of a twenty-four hour football player. They key to the success of our football team could be compacted into one word, “PRACTICE.” The athletes are taught that “PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT,” on and off the gridiron. Coaches Franklin and Lowrey aid in varsity football drills.

The Best Team Ever The basketball team has been said to be the best team ever by the coaches and the Daily Newspaper. The team has set out to make this statement true by winning the previews, Washington tournament, and the OKC(CA) tournament. So far, they are 8-2 with one of those losses being a one-point loss to Star Spencer. The Falcons made up for that though by beating Star Spencer the second time by a buzzer shot made by Mike Parks. Some of the teams that they have beaten are the top teams in 4A. The team, Coaches and High spirited Falcon fans are more than pleased with this fact. The fans have taken a special interest in 6ft. 8inch freshmen, Brian Hopgood. By the time Hopgood becomes a Senior, he should be the best player Millwood has ever had. With the special talent that Millwood has and with the fans backing them up all the way, taking state does not seem like much of a problem. Waiting with anticipation their turn on the court are: Chris Edwards, Ernie Morgan, Tony Harris, and Travis Walker. 24 • Basketball Focusing on a two pointer is Michael Parks in the game against Star Spencer. Up for the rebound is Sophomore Joey Mickey. Basketball «25 Junior guard. Michael Parks shows his leaping ability in the victorious game against Northeast. Anxiety is written all over Brian Hopgood's face against the Star Spencer Bobcats. 26� Basketball A Good Beginning Forward. Derrick Walters gets out jumped by an inch or two. Or maybe a foot or two? Senior starter. Stephen (Poncho) Joseph sets the photographer capture the finesse of his infamous jumper at Star Spencer. When the fans of the blue and white witnessed their team losing the state championship last year, they were devastated. But losing makes one even more determined for a victory. In this instance, the entire school craved the same victory. Rivals always brought out the best in the teams, and the best was needed to beat the John Marshall Bears in the season opener. With two wins behind them, the Falcons went into the season’s third game against Southeast looking for a victory. In the end, it looked like the Falcons lost by a mere four points. Team member, Tony Harris, guard, predicts a strong season and a State Championship for the Falcons this year. GOOD LUCK! Basketball • 27 Is Joey Mickey posing or shooting during warm-ups?

It takes practice, a good attitude, good academic achievement, and team sportsmanship. These are the things that make our team Number one in 3A competition. The players take pride in this fact and strive once again to take state in 3A. They don’t just worry about the 32 minutes on the court, they show their productiveness off the court by coming to practice and maintaining a good enough grade point average to be good at this or any other sport. Sometimes the team may fall short of their goals and feel disappointed with their work; but they shouldn’t feel too bad. Through the eyes of their Falcon fans, on or off the court; We’re Still Number One! With confidence, Stephen (Poncho) Joseph puts a shot up on a Northeast Viking. Six feet eight inches freshman Brian Hopgood shows that he’s just as talented as the rest. Basketball • 29 “Rising High” The Track season is sprinting fast upon us. It officially begins Nov. 19. When Coach Lowrey was asked about the track team, he stated, “We have many returning tracksters. This year we will have more depth in the different events than ever. We will be very strong in the hurdles, two mile relay and field events. I feel if we work hard we can take state!” In the Bison Track meet at O.B.U.

Although their record was 1-10, the team displayed much enthusiasm, school spirit, and determination throughout the season. The Lady Falcons describe the experience as a fun way to exercise which allows us to learn to get along together and show pride in the Falcons.” The Lady Falcon team is looking forward to the upcom- ing softball season. Softball Team Members are. Front: Tracey Hardrick, April Dean. 2nd Row: Dana Coursey. Tamara Criswell. Tanasha Woods. Anika Wilson. Back: Mitchell McElwee, Jan Smith, Rhonda Carter, and Shelly Dixon. Softball • 33 The Game Is: GOLF The six outstanding young men on the Golf team are very dedicated. Not many people can master the sport, but the talented group works very hard to be the best. The only senior on the team, Ran- dy Ponder says, “This will be the best season in a long time. The guys are dedicated and motivated... in trying to improve their game.” The golf coach, Mr. Robinson, stresses the fact that golf is a game of total concentration. Front Row: John Sutter, Keith Briggs, Derrick Coleman. Back Row: Danncll Riggs. Greg Norton, Andre Dewberry, Marquis Alfred. Jeffery Whitfcild, David Bugg, and Coach David Snow. The Last Mile Members of the cross-country track team expected a productive showing this fall and received it. It was going to be difficult for the boys to live up to the last years’ team dedication and hard work but they did with flying colors. Mr. David Snow, the coach, is an avid runner which is a great asset to the team. Runners. Marcus Norton and Darvas Goss show that to be on the team you have to have the stamina to run from Millwood to Wilshirc, which is approximately one-half a mile. Cross-Country 35 Here sophomore back catcher Don Forest shows the cor- rect way to throw a baseball. Progress in Motion The baseball team should be at a high peak. Their mental and physical aspect of the game has changed tremendously. The baseball players are being motivated and psyched up each and every time they take the field. They feel as if everytime they take the field they must improve. With an at- titude like that they and the student body should witness progress in motion. Baseball Team: Coach Don Willis, Don Forest. Terry Evans, Tony Harris, Bill Walters. Tyrone Griffin. Mike Parks. Marcus Carruthers. Damon Courscy, Calvin Boyce. Chris Jett.

Academics: “Keeping Above Water” As student are promoted to higher grade levels, they find it harder to keep their heads above water. Each grade level in itself is merely a preparation for what's to come in the next year. One student defines “academics” as the study of a student’s fight to keep above water in the scholastic world. Students are slowly beginning to realize that “work” describes the things you have to do and that “leisure” and “play” arc the things you want to do to satisfy yourself. A great gift for most people is to find pleasure in doing hard work, conditioning one’s mind, and being recognized by your peers, and your faculty as a truly academic person. Academics� 39 Is that a note you’re writing or are you working on an assign ment Audra Harris? Patrina Sattiewhite concentrates in class, while Kevin Perry practices his Judo lessons. Seniors John Brown, Charles Chatman, Stephen Joseph, Amber Coats, and John Hunter understand the importance of coming to class. 40 • Academics To Study or Not To study or not to study, that is the ques- tion. How many nights a week do you go home and not crack a book? Do you get in on all the good TV shows, latest gossip, and that extra sleep. Many times we pass the whole day away on nothing, when we could be stu- dying for a test or just for discusson of the next day. Students that don’t study are not being realistic. Studying is the most impor- tant part of becoming the best you can be, and the grades that accompany that extra ef- fort won’t look bad at all. You answer the question for yourself to study or not to study. Jr. m Concentrating intensely on her Typing 1 assignment, is Joanna Bowie.

Their job was more than to teach us book work and give lectures. They had a responsibility to teach students and guide them in decisions that set the pace for their future. The principals played a major role in our high school education. Without their guidance and discipline where would we be? At times we became annoyed and frustrated with the rules and regulations they enforced. The people who made it all so easy were the counselors. With-out them our school would have been in shambles. They worked hard this year preparing schedules and enrolling students. Our teachers were commonly thought of as our second parents. They spent a considerable amount of time with us. Our staff worked hard to make our years at Millwood High School the most beneficial years of our lives.

How do you Feel?” “We feel good!” This is the one of the sayings that can be heard coming form the Junior class. And they should feel good, after all they have many things to look forward to. Most important is the long awaited Jr.-Sr. Prom, which they have the responsibility of planning. Everyone looks forward to it, especially the Juniors. Over the summer, many members of the Junior class got their drivers’ licenses and cars. They were looking forward to the start of school so that they could drive to and from school and off campus for lunch. Many students celebrated being a Junior by ordering their personalized class rings. To most students being a Junior means that they are one step closer to reaching that ultimate goal in high school to becoming a Senior. But the Juniors feel that being a Senior isn’t everything, and being a Junior is close enough. Therefore they have something to feel good about.

You can see it by the way they carry and handle themselves. The Juniors realize that they are no longer considered “the Babies” in high school, and they usually try to show this but they still manage to have their playful times. They are also aware that they have to watch what they do, because there are many eyes watching them. Juniors should always try to set a good ex- ample for their fellow underclassmen, for one day they will want to follow in their footsteps. With that in mind, that should make the Juniors feel proud.

Tenth Graders should buckle down and keep their grades up for the future. The most important thing in high school is to graduate, so sophomores should get good study habits early. Attending extra-curricular activities, social meetings, and dances is encouraged but not required and these sophomores know how to handle the pressures of high school life. Two more years is a long way but only as long as you make it. Sophomore Class Officers, Front: Kevin Perry (Treas.), Walter Smiley (Pres.), Darrell Harwell (V. Pres.) and Back: Russell Allen (Sec.

Sophomores 77 Starting Over Again Life of Freshmen at other schools can be pretty nerveracking for some. Starting over in a high school and putting up with upperclassmen who put you down can be a real hassle for some Freshmen. But the Freshmen at Millwood have put up with the putdowns because most of them have been here since elementary, and they already know the up- perclassmen which makes it easier to get along with the upperclassmen. Instead, they have more important things to worry about; like starting over with a new grading system hat consists of Catergory I and II classes. It is also more difficult to make the honor roll because it takes a 3.5 G.P.A. to make it. Some Freshmen go through many hassles enter- ing high school, but our Freshmen seem to handle it with ease. Through the eyes of our Freshmen, Millwood is pretty “cool.” Freshmen Class Officers are: Top: Brian Lewis (President), Hope Miller (Treasurer).

The idea of having the classification freshmen may be exciting to some freshmen but how does it feel on the inside to be a freshman? Vicki Dean said: “It feels like you’re still in the eighth grade because you have the same lunch.” Hope Miller said: “Terrible, because we don’t get to go out to lunch.” As you can tell, the main gripe with most of the freshmen is the fact that they can’t go out to lunch like the previous freshman classes have been able to do. Some freshmen tried to look on the bright side of things since this lunch thing can’t be helped. Candice Rollins said: “It feels good to be over the little kids!” So from the positive point of view, being a freshman is not so bad after all. These eighth and ninth grade pep club members are pretty enthus- ed about our football game.

The eighth graders ae in no hurry, however. Eighth grader Kellee Tyler states: “I enjoy the greater opportunities of the eighth grade. Finally, I’m able to be in the high school building! I’m happy to be pursuing a higher education.” When “Chuckie” James Ford was asked what he would look forward to next year, he replied, “ ... being called a ‘Freshman’.” Eighth grade students will have to wait two years to be able to leave cam- pus for lunch, and one year to be classified by a class name, but they will swallow their ‘anticipation’ and take their eighth grade year in stride.

Approaching new surroundings, and encountering different faces on a daily basis can be difficult for some and effortless for others. Whatever the case, the students overcame their shyness by either meeting friendly people, going to lunch with new associates, or supporting the Falcons at spor- ting events.
