On Top of It All Keeping up with paperwork and trying to be available to students and teachers is the hardest part of Principal Mike McClaren's job. I'm very excited about the faculty this year, I think they are a very professional group of people, Mr. McClaren said. I-Ie concludes his first year at Central Mid-High, as principal. Over all, he said I like to be in a position where I can make deci- sions. The thing I like best about Central, Mr. McClaren said, is the students and the staff. I like to work with students who have a behavior problem, commented Mrs. Paula Powell, sophomore vice principal. Mrs. Powell's biggest goal is to work in the State Department of Education. She also feels that ad- ministration is more of a chance to get to know students better. Mr. Story, vice principal at Cen- tral said, I enjoy the work, but it is demanding. I really do enjoy the Central students, and I hope to be able to get into the classroom and see more of the average students. I picked the job because I saw it as a chal- lenge, Mr. Story said, The har- dest part of my job is to maintain a high level of firmness without sac- rificing fairness and flexibility, Mr. Story concluded. IN ACTION. Principal, Mr, Mike McClaren walks down the hall to make sure things are okay. Faculty 105

SO THIS IS LOVE. Van Halen member Da- FAIR WARNING. Van Halen members Da- vid Lee Roth demonstrates one of his talents vid Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen at the October 3 at the Lloyd Noble Center. Lloyd Noble Center October 3. Moore Concerts ,Waiting in lines for three hours or more and camping out for more than two days before ticket sales were just two of the problems of buying concert tick- ets. For many, this was the most disappointing thing about a con- cert. The only bad thing about a concert was having to stand in line so long for tickets, said sophomore John Ralls, an avid concert goer. Although Oklahoma has many concert facilities, the Myr- iad was chosen by sophomore Steve Tahah as his favorite, for the reason being bigger or bet- ter. Since the Myriad was so large most good groups played there. Since most favorites played there, more people would buy tickets and I liked the feel- ing of being at a sold out con- cert. Steve commented. Iourney lifted spirits high at the Myriad November 3 with special guest Loverboy. The con- cert was sold out in a record breaking three and a half hours. Van Halen highlighted the Lloyd Noble Center with what sophomore Keith Snider cle- scribes as The best stage show he had ever seen. Tom Petty and the Heart- breakers, who were scheduled last June, finally arrived at the Lloyd Noble Center September 25. Although some preferred rock, there were those who felt more at home with country. I really enjoy going to country concerts, but I think the bad thing about it is when the per- former is in a bad mood, said sophomore Sabrina Brown. With tickets costing anywhere from eight to twelve dollars, and t-shirts ranging from nine to twelve dollars it was question- able to whether concerts were worth that much. Students went to concerts be- cause it was something to do and they liked to see the groups. DRUMMER BOY. Alex Van Halen sa- lutes the audience at the Lloyd Noble Center October 3. Concerts
