Aff-2:3 It was a hot, sultry dayg sweat was pouring off my browg I'd been in line for four hours and still had four left. I pondered the reason for my stupidity and came to the conclusion that without this ticket, I could not enroll in the classes I wanted, Over 1800 students had the same thoughts. They stood in line outside the school for ticket stubs numbering from one to 2000, in hopes of being one of the first to enroll. The first 400 had to be at school the next moming by 8 a.m. to get in, fill out the enroll- ment slip and have the teachers sign their approval before the next group was due. After juggling four to six classes and redoing the enroll- ment form several times, the i Kent Dodd l 1 was really lookingforward to ily I was getting tired ofthe summer. -junior ored and excited students return to class schedule for the upcoming year was completed. Students stood in another line to be put on a teacher's roll sheet, insuring a place in class. From there, students raced to the locker table. Lockers were issued to students on a first come-first serve basis. Students then completed a permanent class schedule and gave it to the counselors at the office table to be filed for the rest of the year. Though the class schedule was important, enrollment in- cluded much more. Students purchased parking stickers and class t-shirts. Seniors tried their best to help incoming juniors get acquainted with the school by selling reserved parking spaces, elevator passes, shuttle bus tickets and several other items, many being useless or for things that didn't exist. Coaches Brad Femberg and Mark Hunt set up booths to take the students' government chalk donations and for those wanting to enroll in underwater basket- ball stacking. The first day of school presented the usual problems. Some students couldn't open their lockers, some juniors couldn't find their roomsg and some teachers couldn't find a student's name. Students who missed enrollment stood in a long line in front of the library. Everyone finally solved all the problems, howeverg another school year had begun. Wffauhdi s,,,j..w- ., Q Yi K ff, .

T he V 1 A date anticipated for weeks, October ll, brought the dislike of the Edmond Bulldogs to its peak. Everything, from the assembly to the dance, was ready to be staged. Homecoming, the biggest day of the football season, finally arrived. Planning for the event, however, had begun weeks in advance. In the September meeting of the Student Council, the in- tricate details of the day were discussed. Everyone realized the significance of a successful Homecoming day. The Student Council delegates selected Pound the Hounds as the theme in a close vote over Punch Them Doggiesf' Other suggestions included Dump the Dogsv and Eliminate Edmondf' Various clubs used different methods to decorate their floats. All of them displayed their own unique interpretation of the theme. On Homecoming day, an assembly was staged to stir up the school spirit for the parade and game. Senior Shelly-Smith, escorted by senior Joe Purvine, was crowned Homecoming queen. Humorous skits and speeches by various football players, which were even funnier, livened the crowd. The parade became specta- cular as it proceeded through town. Every certified and un- ceitified organization in school took advantage of the opportu- nity to show their own parti- cular brand of school spirit. f'lt's great, said senior Debbie Clark. lt demonstrates the school spirit through our actions. Many observers outside the school foresaw the actual game as a mismatch. Coming off a disappointing loss the previous week, Moore faced Edmond. ranked second in the state. The courageous Lion football team, however, was not to be denied on the field, beating the Bulldogs 21-14. The victory made the dance that followed even sweeter. At the Homecoming dance, organized by the Student Council, students danced and celebrated the win with music provided by a local disc jockey. We won the game and all the football players were there, said senior Sonja Hamilton about the dance. Everybody was in a good mood and having a good time. Homecoming Student Life ll 3
