P Ex ct th Llnexp cted Expect?l What did you expect? Did you expect to arrive at school for the first day only to see heaps of pink insulation, black shingles, and assorted trash once again cover the campus? For the s e c o n d successive y e a r , teachers had to c o m p e t e with saws and ham- mers in order to be heard by their classes as facili- ties were improved. Nobody anticipated hordes of seventh graders. The seventh grade enroll- ment exceeded 135 stu- dents, the largest ever. Most students did not foresee paying S10 for a sticker to put on their cars which would allow them to park vehicles on cam- pus. lt's ridiculous, said Matt Redalen. Last year we only had to pay SZ. The money from the cost of the stickers was used to pay for closed circuit te- levision cameras installed in strategic areas to pre- vent vandalism. Seniors learned to ex- pect the unexpected throughout the year. They had planned to say good bye to OG from Hornet Stadium but found that graduation had been scheduled for Barton Coli- seum.

OG students reacted unexpectedly. ln- stead of returning the fa- vor, they took their re- venge at the pep assembly and on the football field with a 12-7 victory. Our spirit was at the highest point it has been in years, said head coach Bobby Tiner. I think it really brought our stu- dents together and united us. The surrounding com- munity changed unex- pectedly, too. The Crystal Hill area found itself un- der consideration for an- nexation to the city of North Little Rock. To re- tain its independence, Maumelle became an in- corporated city during September. Whether expected or unexpected, students im- mersed themselves in school and community life. 1T - si Opening - Students expect the rivalry with Rob- inson. They didn't expect to arrive at school early Friday morning only to find pro-RHS remarks spray painted in black and gold all over campus. The remarks were removed immediately by the sand-blasters, Spirit days during the week before the OG vs. Robinson game are a tradi- tion. An unexpected number of sen- iors participated, These seniors mo- deled their interpretation of the latest apparel, .ro J 93.5 rm... The bonfire blazes high at a commu- nity pep rally held the night before Homecoming. The rally featured the performances of the Drill Team and Cheerleaders.
