Too much breeze had the most effect on sporting events. Tennis players dreaded windy days because it altered their shots. The same was true for golf players, who were forced to play the windw instead of playing the course. On the baseball diamond, swirling dust from the infield got into the eyes and mouths of the players. Wind prevented activities from occurring as well. When it became windy, students who wished to participate in outdoor events had to settle for another day. Wind also affected one's appearance. l hate the wind because it always messes up my hair, said junior Jenny Vaughn. From looks to picnics to backyard football, almost everything became affected by the Oklahoma wind. .- 1 lowing Nuisance.

Thompson Taking advantage of Oklahoma's weather required day to day attention. Upon wak- ing, students prepared their wardrobe for the day. Many days began sunny and turned cloudy, while others began rainy and closed with sunshine. Oklahoma's unpredictable weather often caught students wearing clothing that clashed with the day's weather. One day I wore my shorts and it was freezing outside, said junior Donna Penfield. I felt really stupid, but I saw one other person with shorts on and I didn't feel quite as bad. Heavy snows forced students to stay home from school on February IO. No one complained about the extra hours of sleep and the unex- pected free day. I hibernatedf' said junior Heather Shannon. Usually if friends come over, l like to go I like spring because it's not 100 hot and it's not too cold. - junior Amber sing weather to one's advantage was vital play and have a snowball fight, build forts and try to build a snowman. Students who once lived in other states often compared that state's snow days to ours. In Ohio they considered it a snow day when you opened the door and the snow was up to your roof, said junior Dustin Gish. Although snow gave reason to be out of school for a day, students still enjoyed the sunny days. I hate rain because my hair frizzes, and I hate snow because it is cold, said junior Mirenda Baker. I like summer the best because I can get a tan and wear shortsf, Even when students had homework, they found ways to enjoy the weather at the same time. If it is not too windy on a sunny day, I go out and do my homework on the porch. said m,,,,,u.. junior Helen McKenna. Tornado watches and warn- ings in surrounding areas threatened the lives and posses- sions of Oklahomans in the spring. I had one hit my house one time, said senior Emily Fendrych. I was in the house when it hit, because they didn,t have warnings or anything then. Unpredictable weather was typical of Oklahoma, and students learned to conform to the abrupt changes. Being caught in the wrong clothes or preferring to live in another state was common, but students stayed in the state and managed to survive each day without many mishaps. nowed Out.
