Most will find it to be cummulative of many things: the com- mittment to excel- lence, the determina- tion to succeed, the willpower and stami- na to conquer. Satis- faction rarely comes easily, yet it is the competition, either with self or with others, that makes the rewards all the sweeter. It is the disci- pline of the individual to always strive for perfection, to never settle for the status quo, and whatever the outcome, to never turn back. The gaining mo- mentum was evident in the athletics de- partment as the se- nior volleyball team placed third in the dis- trict while the senior football team kept up the forward motions with outstanding vic- tories that included a triumphant win over Altheimer for home- coming. The senior cheer- leaders put in excru- tiating hours with the reward of placing sec- ond in the state com- petition. Noted for in- dividual achievement was Kris Chandler, who went to Hawaii over Christmas vaca- tion to perform as a member of the All- American Cheerlead- ing Squad in the Alo- ha Bowl. Satisfaction in the school came with a 315,000 loan from the county office to pro- vide a much-needed new parking lot. All- school fundraisers were organized by Mr. Joseph Presley in hopes of enlisting the entire student body to acquire funds for nec- essary equipment and maintenance. Teach- ers were encouraged to find satisfaction in personal areas through monthly pro- fessional growth meetings. As students strove for academic excel- lence, they were also encouraged to strive for personal satisfac- tion in all areas. 'ff 2 Opening Preparing for Homecoming night, Laura Havens, a senior maid, and her escort Al Gra- ham decorate Mr. l-lavens's 1966 red Corvette. Following tradition, the cars carried the maids around the football field before the crowning ceremonies began. rugs'- The work involved in de- signing a yearbook is more than expected. At camp, Dawn Drennan prresents the origi- nal cover design to Tanya Oswalt and the other staff members. We weren't happy with this design so we spent many hours until we came up with the cover design we have now, said Laura Whitworth. Improvements made over the summer included ramps placed in necessary locations throughout the campus. With the arrival of Angela Cox, the ramps became an immediate need. At the same time, new state educa- tion standards were being met earli- er than required. Opening Tension mounted for students when tests, homework, and other assignments piled up. Teachers felt the strain when they had papers to grade, meetings to attend, and lessons to pre- pare. But before the last straw broke, the lightheartedness of teachers and students came to life, relieving the tension and stress. Students' creativity came forth in both spontaneous out- bursts and organized activities. A Puttin' on the Hits competi- tion gave interested students a chance to show off their per- forming skills. David Kersey and Wayne Brown dressed up as Grandma and the Big Bad Wolf and danced with the Drill Team at a pep assembly. Gary Williams provided an impromptu rap for Mr. Akira Ohga, a J apa- nese visitor to Ms. An- dreelli's Humanities class. Bursts of cre- ative energy were also directed from one stu- dent to another. Ray- mond Baxter and Kim Banks decorated his truck with balloons in celebration of their anniversary. Teachers also par- ticipated in the fun. On spirit days, teach- ers joined students in dressing up. For Hal- loween, Coach Jackie Higgins disguised himself as a wizard, and the cafeteria workers dressed up as witches and other Hal- loween charac- ters. Coach Tony Ad- ams used a costume as a teaching aid when he dressed up as a Pil- grim for his American History class. Ms. Penny Elliott and Mrs. Bonnie Haynie cheered for the faculty during the Student - Faculty basketball game. Whether watching from the sidelines or being the center of at- tention, the students and teachers devel- oped a definite style, which added excitement to an ordi- nary day and made it memorable. LI.

Chris Caldwell, David Day, and Clint Moore stand close at hand to receive a piece. The opportunity to learn ,more about a foreign cul- ture came when Mr. Akira Ohga of Nagasaki, Japan, spent a week observing the campus. Mr. Ogha was a member of a 40'teacher delegation to Arkansas to study the American tech- niques of teaching. Opening 5 CING H UNKNGW When teachers and students began the year, the fate of the Pulaski County Spe- cial School District was uncertain. Due to the unsettled consoli- dation case involving the Little Rock School District, no one was sure that Oak Grove would exist in future years as it is now known. Teachers, ad- ministrators, and stu- dents shared worries about what the future held. When the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals announced their decision in No- vember, it ended four years of court battles involving the Little Rock, North Little Rock and Pulaski County school dis- tricts. The court's de- cision to expand the Little Rock District to the Little Rock city limits involved the transfer of 15 Pulaski County schools to the Little Rock district. Oak Grove was not one of these schools, but it was still affect- ed. Attendance plans had not yet been final- ized and students feared not only the physical act of being bused, but also the emotional hurt of be- ing split from friends and teachers. Teach- ers had to ideal with the possibility of los- ing their jobs. Both school districts also felt they might not meet the new educa- tional standardsg a loss of accreditation would have lasting ramifications for stu- dents. Despite the uncer- tainty of the future for students and for the school itself, the year and its activities still moved forward. Clubs met, teams played, and students still learned. There was no turning back as stu- dents made this year count for what it was rather than dwelling on the future.

Laura Havens, LaNae Jackson and Beth Harrelson made this unique cake, which contained four different cake fla- vors including strawberry, chocolate, orange, and lemon. For the first time, the 1986 graduation was held at Barton Coliseum. Although there were many advantages to this change, one disadvantage was that students and teachers, such as Coach Bobby Tiner had to wait for Sylvan Hills to complete their ceremonies. It was also the first time the faculty wore robes in' dicating their degrees and majors. Opening -+ f U I WW , QTNDX W? NQ3054, Y f ? 4?

InfOut as Yr A spam, A-wfyi X j fl fl CIMGQSS Decisions, decisions - choices had to be made in every aspect of academic life. Academics meant much more than classes from 8:20 to 3:35, they did not end with that 3:35 bell. Between homework, play rehear- sals, and OM practice, students had little hope of having a regular schedule. It was up to the individual student to establish his goals and priorities. These goals ranged from pulling a C in geome- try to winning a coveted scholarship to the college of one's choice. With a wide variety of academic classes and activities to choose from, students had to select those that most interested them. Students such as Jennifer Donham and Dawn Drennan, who were interested in law, participated in Mock Trial, students interested in music could take part in band or choir. Eight stu- dents, including Kyle Kendrick, chose to Pointing out the highlights of a papier-mache mask to Dale Dodson, Ms. Renee James encourages the art students to be as creative as possible.

These activities could be used to help develop future career skills or simply to enjoy oneself. 'Tm looking forward to working in the darkoom in TAG. I like photography and this will also save me money on developing, said Julie Hen- drix. From a discussion of Greek art in Humanities to a chicken dance in French, students had choices. Once these choices were made, there was no turning back. Whether the choices were right or wrong, the students had to live with them and work to make their academic lives successful ones. Closs . . . InfOut 9 In the APAOATALAIAGAHAT Taking Part in a Robbery As the time to perform got closer, the anxious participants scuttled around checking props and fixing costumes. The judges indicated the go ahead and all scuttling stopped. Suddenly, the seven teenagers were all busi- ness. The gym carried the ech- oes of the timekeeper's instruc- tions and the audience's rest- lessness. Finally, the show be- gan. As the objects, ranging from a cloth hamburger to a smaller-than-life Moby Dick, were set out on a taped grid by museum workers, the museum curator supervised with a careful eye. The bumbling museum workers completed W .Jan - .4 .L . their task and their work was checked by judges. The grid was cleared and suddenly lights were dimmed and the restlessness stopped. Two masked figures ap- peared and began to rob the mu- seum with the help of three other teammates and a computer. The audience was witnessing a rob- bery masterminded by a comput- er and carried out by five of sev- en teammates. This scene was set at Ben- tonville at the 1986 Regional Od- yssey of the Mind.

No, it was in the Camelot Hotel with a ballroom full of people acting out a mock congress. Students from across the state met for three days. Several groups such as Mock Trial, Student Con- gress, Girls' and Boys' State, and United Nations were prac- ticing government operations. The students at Girls' State and Boys' State ran for offices in city, county, and state gov- ernment positions. Mock trial saw high school witnesses and lawyers in action. The Oak Grove team won the state championship against an all- senior team from Conway. We were bad, said Jarrett ., S' 5-nimw Johnson, one of the attorneys for the mock trial team. I was scared at first, but then it was fun being an attorney. Anoth- er win by the Mock Trial team would send them to a national tournament in Washington, D.C. The Student Congress met at the Excelsior. They made two bills to present to the Con- gress. One was on home teach- ers having to take an abilities test and the other was on seat belts in buses. If these bills are passed by both Student Con- gress houses, the bills will then be sent to the Arkansas State Legislature to be voted on. The groups of students that represented Oak Grove at their separate meetings enjoyed the challenge of participation. 'I Q Closs . . .

In the LAA-B New Experiences In Learning First, the chemicals were mixed together. Then there was an explosion. Finally, the glass melted. That was the end result of one lab that was per- formed in Mr. Woods' physics class. Labs offered new insights to students who took such clas- ses as biology, physiology, chemistry, or foreign lan- guages. In chemistry, labs were per- formed to help the students better understand how matter reacts with other matter. In my chemistry class, we do so many different labs and exper- iments. For example, one day we did a lab where we took a certain piece of paper and put a colored mark on it. We dipped it into a solution and when we took it out, the colors that were on it were the pri- mary colors that, when com- bined, made the original color that we put on paper. Say we put the color green on paper. When we took it out of the so- lution, the colors that were on it were yellow and blue, said Eric Booth. Labs in foreign language consisted mainly of cassette tapes that helped the students train their ears to distinguish certain sounds and syllables. When we first worked with the lab in French, I thought it was so hard because the speak- ers talked so fast, and it was hard to understand. After a while, though, I found that it was easier and I could under- stand a lot more than I could at first, said Ashleigh Zim- merebner. In all, labs basically had the same effects: students learned more about their subject and experienced new techniques in learning, too. In the Lob In The Q.I:.l:.' . . Plans for the Future Although some students think that it is too soon to plan for the future, others are plan- ning ahead by taking business classes. A variety of classes prepare students for the busi- ness world. Business math teaches prac- tical applications for math. We really get away from just plain adding and subtracting and get into harder business related problems such as ra- tios and proportions, said Coach Treadway. Debits and credits may seem like a strange language, but they don't to the students tak- ing accounting. They learn how to organize and maintain financial records and can learn the basics necessary for a variety of occupations such as an office clerk, an account- ing clerk or a bookkeeper. Business English has re- turned after a five year ab- sence to add another dimen- sion to the business classes. Business letters, forms, and current trends in correspon- dence ready students for sec- retarial through management positions. Students keep up with the high tech World with business machines and computer clas- ses. Programming data entry, transcribing, typing, and cal- culating help students get hands-on training on the lat- est machines used in busi- ness. While some students look upon school as fun and games, the business students are us- ing their time to train them- selves to enter the business world and to plan for the fu- ture. roblems seem much easier when the teacher works them out! Coach Treaclway uses an overhead projec- tor to explain a problem to one of his business math classes.

Often the five minutes between classes is just enough to finish up last minute assignments. Sarah Norton uses her time wisely by finishing her accounting homework be' fore class. oardwork can be embarrassing!

But what if the rea- son Was simply to take a class? This was exactly what ten students did every day. They participated in a program that took them to different schools that offer specialized classes. Eight of those ten students, James Hyatt, Timothy Honey- suckle, Hulen Sutherland, Ron- ny Britton, Michael Miller, Darren Fleming, and Teresa McLarty attended Metropol- itan Vocational Technical Education Center Where the classes ranged from Com- mercial Arts to Food Ser- vices.

InfOut In the .RIIK Creativity is the Key Sitting for hours on end, searching for some little spark, one idea which could be developed into a masterpiece, the artist agonized. Once those creative juices started to flow, there was no stopping. Ideas came from every angle and the artist strived to make sense of it and give it form. Everyday, students were faced with the task of reaching into the depths of their minds to come up with some unique Way to express themselves. English, Humanities, art, drama, and foreign language classes proved to be an ideal place for a little soul search- ing. Creative writing assign- ments in English classes along with grammar and vo- cabulary lessons paid off Well. The scores on the AP Final Exam were higher than in past years. With concerts, plays, and even a trip to New York, se- niors saw the cultural aspects of life. The Humanities class pro- vided students many oppor- tunities to express their feel- ings on different issues that were of importance to them. Sometimes we had circle dis- cussions on certain issues where everyone could express their views and opinions, said Laura Whitworth. One of the more obvious Ways of expression was through the Art classes. With paintings, sculptures, draw- ings and types of abstract art, students devoted their cre- ative energies for others to en- joy. A field trip to the art mu- seum also gave students a chance to study other Works of art in order to evaluate their own performance. Painting really gives me a chance to express myself. It really relaxes me and allows me to do anything because I am not limited as to what I put on paper, said Tracy Green. On the stage, actors gave performances to dazzle the au- dience. The character's com- ing to life was dependent on the actor's interpretation. One act plays provided a hilarious comedy as well as a. serious drama. Impromptu cast four actors-playing-actors that were called to improvise a play. What Did You Say What For? recreated a bus stop scene where two actors carried on a conversation. A little different means of expression was found in for- eign language classes. Learn- ing the culture of another country as well as how to com- municate in its language was the center of their studies. A field trip to see Flamenco dan- cers gave a little taste of the spicy Spanish way of life. French students also ex- plored culture by attending a French play. First they per- formed in French and next they Went back and did the scene in English. It was a whole lot of fun besides ex- tremely interestingj' said Cindy Lindsey. Many students found these classes to be just what they needed in order to better ex- press themselves and to make their opinions known to others.

As a new year started, the Hornets geared up to promote the pride that was re- flected in every hard fought game and meet. Students looked forward to attending games to help support the players and coaches. Sports were more than just an enter- taining distraction from the books. To some players they were a way to escape the pressures of the academic life, but for others they were a serious priority in terms of seeking a scholarship for college. Regardless of the motive behind one's participation in the player-fan chain, the Plain to see are the reactions of Mike Smith and Shane Cloyd after their close win over North Pulaski. The feeling was felt by both players and fans as they started out the season with determination and confidence. Hornets fought till the end. No matter how long the battle, or how tough the com- petition appeared, they stuck it out. De- spite losses to Beebe and Robinson, the football team fought to win the majority of their games. Both girls' and boys' track teams sent competitors to the state meet. The list of hard fought battles to the top did not end there but continued through every Hornet sporting event. Looking toward the future was un- avoidable for both newcomers and seniors as they anticipated practices, meets, games, and hopefully many victories. As the year progressed, everyone realized there was no turning back. With that thought in mind, Hornets jumped into the new season with both feet as a sign of con- fidence, determination, and above all, pride.

We, the sophomores, knew that this was true and just felt that we would have to prove them wrong, said tight end Bubba McVay. The papers seemed to have pre- dicted the future when the Hornets lost to Harrison 34-0. But the Hornets bounced back to devastate AAA North Pulaski by blocking a last minute field goal. I knew that the only way we were going to Win was to block the field goal so I tried my best and ended up hitting the ball to the ground, said linebacker J ack Dollarhide. The win- ning continued as they trampled Greenbrier 33-8. Then came the big test facing riv- als Joe T. Robinson. They came up short 6-28. The next week was an- other conference loss to the Beebe Badgers 38-13. We gave them a run for their money in the first half, but we just oouldn't hold on, said quar- terback Rickey Green. The season started to look brighter as the foot- ball team traveled by England and Altheimer. The Lonoke J ackrabbits were the next opponents and gave a tough fight, but the Hornets still had a slight chance at the playoffs. However, they fell to the War Eagles 27-0. The last game of the season was against Carlisle. They played the first half in a downpour and end- ed 6-6. The game was called off to a tie due to the rain. The Hornets fin- ished the season 5-4-1.

Sr. Football DRE DED DEFEAT A TGGL FoR MOTIVATIGN The favored team was ex- pected to win by two touch- downs. The underdog had only won three games. But surpris- ingly enough, it was not un- common for the underdog to be topdog when the dust set- tled. Even the most winning teams at times faced what had become an unspoken word in a p1ayer's vocabulary: defeat. Depending on how a play- er looked at it, losing a game or two could be the end of the world, or the beginning spark of a raging fire in their eyes the next time they stepped on the field. Defeat could dampen the spirit, or motivate the soul depending on how badly a player wanted a winning team. Losing does get you down. Nobody wants to lose, Molivafion is the key! Al Graham and Gary Williams rouse the crowd at a pre-game pep rally. but it does motivate you and make you want revenge on the next team you play, for what the last team did to you, said Mike Plummer. Working hard during the summer practices only to be shot down by the Harrison Goblins, a AAA school, at the first game of the season was not what the Hornets had in mind. The Goblins went on to be ranked 6th in the state. We knew if we had won, we could have had an accom- plished season, but our great loss made me feel like we had to start all over again, said Jarrett Johnson. The Hornets took the loss in stride to bounce back the next game and beat North Pu- laski 8-7. Even with losses to im- portant teams such as Beebe and Robinson, we realized we had the ability to come back and play some outstanding football, said Jimmy King. It's important that players encourage each other rather than discourage the team. You have to have player support from everyone to per- form 100'Mm, said Lee Hunt. Together the players as a team must stand through a winning season as well as a not-so-winning season. Re- gardless of their record, the Hornets came out on top for uplifting and supporting each other to perform to the best of their ability. Sports NT I 4 1 4 4 I SWE T IT QUT MISCUES PLAGUE IUNIORS Sweating through hours of prac- ticing and conditioning, the junior high football team worked at strengthening their bodies. Strength was a major part in protec- ting the body, but sometimes it was not enough. T-Ray Rester found this out when he broke his arm during the first quarter of the J oe-T Robin- son game. Breaking my arm was a big let- down to my teammates and to my- self, because I enjoy not only the game of football, but the competition as well. You can bet I will be back next year, said T-Ray. This injury followed an earlier one when he was sandwiched between two Jackson- ville North players and was rushed to the hospital during the first game of the season. Other injuries that oc- I think we had a great year. We lost some key players late and that hurt us in the end. But, all in all, we had a lot of fun, and that is the way it's supposed to be, said Andy Chunn. 28 Sports curred throughout the season were Brian Edmondson breaking his thumb and Scott Shrigley dehydra- ting. Football can bring about other mishaps as Josh Plummer proved when he tripped in the mud running through the spirit line before the Robinson game. According to Josh, he wanted to get a head start on muddying up his uniform since the Senators would take every opportunity to knock him to the ground. As it turned out, it was mud in the Senator's eyes when the Hornets claimed the victory. Miscues did prove beneficial to the team this season. VVhen the Hor- nets played Glenrose, a miscue oc- curred that led to a win. Glenrose punted and received a penalty. After lailing lo make a Hrs! down, T-Ray RCSIBI' punts to a Glenrose returner. The Hornets WOH the game 32 to Q Coach Palmer signaled to decline the penalty, but a Oak Grove player misread the signal and said for Glen- rose to punt again. A Hornet punt re- turner caught the ball and sailed down the field to make the final and Winning touchdown. I think We had a great season. We practiced hard, we played hard, and our record proves the greatness of our team, said Chris Stratton. Even with injuries, mishaps, and miscues, the junior high Hornets managed to pull off a season win- ning more games than they lost. Everyone showed great spiril at the football games. Josh Plummer showed his by being the first to break through the run through sign. - STATS - Junior Football 0 Jacksonville North 6 32 Glenrose 0 21 J .A.

Day in and day out, the junior and senior high volleyball members worked to in- sure quality on the court. For the senior high girls, prac- tice paid off when they received third place in the District Tourna- ment. At the tournament, Oak Grove beat all the teams except North Pulaski and Cabot. Cindy Lindsey and Tracy Green were chosen to participate in the All-Dis- trict Tournament. All the team members have added to the team, but'Tracy and Cindy have had an outstanding amount of sportsman- ship and skill, said Coach Cathy Digby. The junior high also participat- ed in the District Tournament, but lost their first two games and were eliminated. I feel that the team just lacked the experience that it needed because we were a young team. We mostly had eighth graders. If they stick with volleyball next year, they should have the experience that they need to do well, said Karen Whitworth. The senior high team was also a young team, having a majority of tenth graders. vollevboln 3 1 SECO D EFFGRT THE TEAM EVER Q ITS With the sound of the last football fan cheering, simultaneously came the pounding of the round ball on the basket- ball court. Many football players joined the off-season basketball players to par- ticipate on the basketball team. The dribbling Hornets opened the season with a seven game winning streak. After winning the Atkins Tour- nament for two consecutive years, they were gaining a reputation for an inde- structible team.

VVhen we started the conference games, we just began playing average rather than What we were capable of doing. If we begin to play above average, like we started the season, then we can possibly turn it around and have a good chance at the District Tournament, said Lenny Whiteman. Coach Bennet said, ' 'We had a great bunch of guys to work with this season. After getting off to a fast 10-2 start and a championship at the Atkins Tournament, We fell on some hard times. But even with our mid-season slump and some tough losses, this team never did quit. They kept working and it paid off with some big Wins down the stretch.

LEARNING FUNDAMENTALS AND TEAMWGRK With only one senior, the young team learned there was much more involved than just basketball abili- ties. Dedication, discipline, and de- fense were three fundamentals of basketball, but there were other fac- tors as well: having gum to chew while out on the court was a neces- sity, as was missing the mouth with the water bottle in order to look truly athletic There were times when the girls of both teams emitted prim- itive noises to establish territories. Some girls even found that standing on their feet was a job within itself. There were times when it was all I could do to stay on my feet and off of the floor. The girls we were playing seemed to think that my height was an advantage for their team. After a few rounds, they final- ly figured out that I wasn't that much of a push over. I had to learn - the hard way - defenses to help me avoid collisions with the floor, said Cindy Lindsey. The team had only two injuries this season. Millicent Henderson had a minor one when she sprained her ankle causing a Week of hob- bling around campus on crutches. A more serious injury was when Jana Turner tore tendons and ligaments in her knee. Surgery kept Jana from participating in the rest of the sea- son. Away games proved to be much more than just an ordinary bus ride away. On the way to play Altheimer, the bus carrying the senior girls along with the senior boys was pul- led over for a moving violation. The bus driver did some major smooth-talking to keep from getting a ticket. We were lucky that the po- liceman was pretty easy-going! It was a trip, said Tracy Green.

Could I have jumped higher? Could I have thrown further? The '86 senior high track team displayed the pride that Oak Grove valued so highly. Mike Davis placed fifth in the state high jump after only one year of competition. Steve Shrigley placed seventh in the shot put While Lee Hunt qualified and fin- ished tenth. The 800 meter relay team also placed seventh at the state track meet. Those who participated were Greg Jackson, Victor Williams, Flint Turner, and Gary Williams.

Sr. Trock f THE BIO BREAK A CHANCE FOR THE TOP Records were set for one reason . . . to be broken. The 1986 junior high track team put a lot of meaning behind these words. With Jarvis Conic breaking records in the high jump, the long jump, the quarter and 400 meter dash, the season proved to be a successful one. The girls finished their season with a record-breaking relay team consisting of Jana Turner, Lisa Charleston, Amanda Gibbs, and Carla York. They broke records in the 400 meter and 800 meter relays. The record breaking results Were due to hard Work and extensive training on both the coaches' and the team members' part. The best way to train for track is simply a lot of running and hard Work, said Coach Bill McDonald. The record breakers realized that their record might not stand permanently as a school record, but in each person there was the feeling of accomplishment that would last forever.

SLIDE! These calls were commonly known as Tiner's DIRT DEMANDSJ' All deal with getting dirty. All were learned by the players. All aided in getting the Hor- nets to the first round of state finals. The '86 Hornets were probably the best team I've ever seen at Oak Grove, said head coach Bobby Tin- er. They played a hard, good sea- son. Being an all-senior team was a strong point for the Hornets. The team didn't have just one or two strong points. They were strong at each position of the game - pitching, hitting, and defense. But the sen- iors led the team to clinch the dis- trict and regional titles and to com- pete in the first round of the state fi- nals. When asked to comment on the two most important defensive players, Tiner replied, There weren't two, but I will give you the main three. I'd have to say Floyd Conic, Bud Brock and Mack Pharr were the most important. Floyd, at shortstop with his fast hands, kept our infield together. Bud Brock was the leader in the outfield. Mack Pharr kept our games in step by keeping our pitcher, Shawn Wilcox, going. These three would have to be the most important players. As in any sport, some assume the position of leader, and others as- sume the position of followers. Base- ball was no exception. Greg J ack- son led the team all season with his 'up' spirit for the games. The team played an intense season. Our school should be proud, said Andrew McLemore. And they Were.

SEASO UF EXTRE ES QUALITY QVERCUMES QUANTITY Will golf and tennis be a memo- ry in the Oak Grove athletic depart- ment? The chance of golf and tennis being eliminated from the curricu- lum was a possibilityg therefore, the 1986 teams strove to have their best season yet. In the seven years at Oak Grove, there has never been great participa- tion in the sport of golf. The coach of the golf team, Ronald Bennett, stated that the interest in the sport was growing and in the years to come should be up among the major sports. The golf team placed fifth in the district finals, and a one-year let- terman, Mike Decker, said this may be due to a limited field of players. On the other hand, tennis had its greatest participation ever after ten years in the athletic department. Coach Tony Adams of the tennis team stated many positive facts about last year's team. There were no seniors on the team in 1986, but there were many new players from the lower grades coming up for the 1987 season. He also stated that he was not disappointed with this year's team, even though they did not win all their matches. Three- year letterman Lenny Whiteman said he was astonished about the number of new players on the team and that he feels there will be a. tre- mendous outcome in next year's season. Even though not shown in last year's statistics, the tennis and golf teams outplayed their ability and will continue to do so if the sports are not eliminated. TennIsfGoIf A THE DRIVI FURCE DESIRE AND DEDICATIO For the senior high cheerlead- ers, Gimme an I-I was often re- placed by Gimme a break. I don't think I realized how much work was involved when I made it in tenth grade. Every Tuesday and Thursday we prac- ticed till around 6:00. When com- petition time came around, or when we just oouldn't get a certain step right, our practice time in- creased to every day and some- times even during lunch. Our work didn't stop there, though. We still had to make signs, decorate the fieldhouse, and make treats for the football players every Friday. It wasn't easy, but when we came in second in the state competition, all the practice was worth it, said Pam Hennessey. Success started at camp in Pensacola, Florida. The cheerlead- ers earned first runner-up overall, the spirit stick, and a superior rating. Also, Kris Chandler was chosen as an All-American Cheerleader. This honor gave Kris a chance to fly to Hawaii to perform at the Aloha Bowl. The cheer- leaders' success continued through the year. VVhen state competition came around, they placed first in their division. They then went on to the fi- nals and were ranked second place overall in the state. This opened up a spot for them in the National Cheer- leading Competitions in Orlando, Flor- ida. In order to go, the cheerleaders had to raise the money. Many busi- nesses in the area donated money. The cheerleaders also raised the money by selling balloons and by sponsoring a pie throwing event. As sponsor Mrs. Janet Lawrence often said, Desire, dedication, and a winning attitude are what I preach most. These three things are what made the girls so successful this year.

Not only did the cheerleaders support various teams at athletic events, they also sponsored other ac- tivities. The first Puttin' on the Hits competition was directed by the cheerleaders and the TAG clas- ses. There was also the preparation for the new recruits who would com- pete for squad positions in the spring. Being a cheerleader wasn't al- ways a joy. Long hours were spent in practice, both for games and clinics, and extra responsibilities fell to the girls in addition to rousing fans to support the teams. Signs, spirit cups, and intricate routines had to be produced for each pep assembly. Some weeks are harder than others to excite everyone for the game, but you can never get down about it. Overall, it's a lot of hard work, but worth it in the end, said captain Mi- chelle McBride. Whether they were rousing the crowd or sponsoring activities, the junior cheerleaders led an active life. With these activities, the cheerlead- ers' duty to support the Hornets kept them busy all year. Going through the motions with ecstatic smiles, Kim Colclasure and Christy Haynie perform as newly cho- sen members of the junior high cheerleading squad. Thirteen girls were selected at tryouts held in March to support the junior Hornets and rally them to victo- ry. Junior Cheerleaders We were proud to be able to fly to SMU for camp.

The matching shirts symbolized the uni- ty of the squad and the bright colors showed the vitality of the drill team, said Juli Sedberry. The Stingerettes began their learning with long days of practice even before school started. The Stingerettes attended summer camp at SMU in July where they learned different types of routines such as jazz, prop Cpom pons, etc.J, novelty, kick, and military. While at camp they were taught marching drills and commands. The Stingerettes were involved in many competitions and fared well. In order to be a successful Sting- erette one must be talented as well as dedicated. Camp was a lot tough- er than we expected. We were up at 6:00 and didn't stop learning, performing, and practicing until 10:80 and 11:00 at night. Everyone was so sore that they could hardly walk, but when we flew home to Lit- tle Rock we all felt better, said Jamie Vlfheat, Captain. The Sting- erettes had a new co-sponsor, Mrs. Karen Allen, former captain of the UCA drill team, who joined Mrs. Sandra Thomas.

Living to the beat of Lionel Richie, Run DMC, Da- vid Lee Roth, and Cameo made the every- day routine of school bearable. Although skipping study hall to make a quick trip to J im's, smuggling Cokes into class, and bringing Walkmans were illegal, one found these activities were sometimes the most fun. Outside of school, rolling a house, egging a car, or generally disturbing the peace was enough to satisfy most every- one. Students weren't always found wreak- ing havoc throughout the year though. Some sat down to study because they real- ized there actually was life after high SChO01. After all, there's no turning back. Others found after school jobs a necessity Wming and perfection are essential for a stackup to succeed unless its the WETSU crew! Relying on their humorous antics for success, they practice their act before a pep rally. for the extra spending money that made student living easier. As in other years, students were found working at Target, Wild River Country, and several fast food restaurants. But all work and no play made for a very long year. lf you ask someone what they do every Friday night, and they can tell you, it is pretty boring, commented Cindy Lindsey. To ease the pressures of the academic side of life, students found dating, shopping, or just hanging out with friends at McCain Mall the perfect solution to the boredom blues. Truly, a variety was what made life worth living. Student Life 57 - ing to the dance floor. lt's a bird! lt's a plane! No, it's a softball!

It caused the mind to turn away from school work and deadlines to the events one had anticipated through all the dreary win- ter months. The cure lay in activity. One big event was prom. The theme was decided by the juniors, but the secret quickly spread so that all seniors knew it was The Greatest Love of All. The Little Rook Club was again secured for the festivities, and it was decorated in blue and silver. Spring always makes me want to get outside and do something fun, said Pam Hennessey. A good remedy for spring fever was the annual trip to New York taken by forty seniors under the guid- ance of Ms. Marylou An- dreelli and Mr. Floyd Dunn.

The day of the prom is not only for getting hair done and picking up tuxedos but for decorating the Little Rock Club.

These frequently heard phrases could have one of two meanings. As Amy Ho- gan said, In summer we could kick back and relaxg we had no responsibilities whatsoever. We were able to go where we wanted to go whenever we wanted to go, or we didn't even have to go at all. We were lazy and it didn't matter. It could also be an ex- pression of utter boredom. Summer provided stu- dents with an extra seven hours to do nothing but sleep in and watch game shows. I was so bored that drill team practice became a. major social event, said Terri Marcum. More than one way was provided to combat bore- dom. Swimming, skiing, camping, and attending picnics helped to fill the daylight hours. Those who did not get out had the whole summer to catch up on the latest soap opera happenings. Popular soaps in the area included The Young and the Rest- less and Days of Our Lives. Summer jobs also claimed up to eight hours at a time. A sno-cone break at Cozy's Sno-Cone Stand was a good excuse for Shane Steelman to take a break from his job at Cock of the Walk. It also gave him the opportunity to talk with his friends Tammy Waters and Cynthia Pierce, who worked there. Wild River Country also hired twelve students for summer help. Working at Wild River Country was very rough, but it turned out to be the best summer of my life. I wouldn't work anywhere else, said Stacy Wilson, who was named employ- ee of the year. Typical Arkansas weather surprised no one. The constant weather changes from rain to 100' plus heat caused real problems for the outdoor people. The weather changed so much you didn't know what to put on in the morning, said Karen May. Although the summer may have been boring to some, others found plen- ty to do. As Grant Rose said, I wish it could have gone on forever! Video games were a popu- lar way to beat summer boredom. Marvin Morris waits for his turn in the arcade at Wild River Country.

Journalism too proved to be much of a task. It was not a camp one would want to attend just to get away. Yearbook camp was a lot of hard work and head- aches according to Mrs. Eudy adviser. All that goes into designing a year- book was decided while at- tending camp. We were constantly at work be- cause We always had as- signments such as draw- ing layouts and writing copy due the next day. This really prepared us for meeting deadlines when we returned to school Cathy Cook a first year member stated Church camps were held everywhere from college campuses to campgrounds found deep m the heart of no where They involved many churches Ronnie Andrews attended church camp this sum mer My church camp was really a learmng ex perience It gave me a chance to meet some re- ally neat people and learn about their differ- ent lifestyles and be- liefs commented Ron- - nie Andrews who at- tended Siloam Springs with the Crystal Valley Baptist Church.

The camps that were at- tended were geared to- ward working one s imagination to its full- est teaching and ac- complishing new ideas and techniques. Comps While at Girls' State, friends ol Laura Whitworth became aware ol her fear of lrogs. As a joke they made a Frog Buster sign and hung it on her door.

I remember once a couple of friends and I went to the towers at Camp Robinson. They could climb all the way to the top, but I couldn't even make halfway up. Other students shared the same feelings, Some other heights that were mentioned were Pinnacle Mountain and the Light- ning Bolt at Wild River Country. I have claustrophobia, said Malissa Hayden. VVhen I went to the fair I was about to go through the haunted house, but it was so small at the begin- ning that I made everyone behind me back up so I could go back out. It was so embarrassing! I guess my greatest fear would have to be of bugs. I have always hated them, said Shawna Strat- ton. What were people really afraid of?' Was it some- thing that they were physi- cally afraid of or was it something that their mind had caused them to fear? Yeah, I think it's all in my mind, but I don't care! I'm never going near an- other frog again. One day I was swimming, and I felt something crawl- ing on my arm. I looked down and this green tree frog was on my arm.

Parents of distraught sev- enth grade students might have said this when their children came home with a mouthful of confusing events from the first day of school. The seventh grad- ers certainly had quite a change from elementary school when they moved to junior high, but some stu- dents liked it while others were terrified. Seventh grade students weren't the only ones who had to go through changes. VVhen school opened students found that there were wheelchair ramps for those with phys- ical disabilities. Physical changes on campus also included the covered walkways that were being sanded and repainted. The inside story on cam- pus was about office re- ferrals and new teachers. There were ten new mem- bers added to the faculty and staff this year. Also new on campus was a very different tardy sys- tem. A student could get four tardies before any ac- tion was taken in each class last yearg now one could get three tardies in one class, have a referral in another class for tardies and be stuck with D-Hall. Another change which had students upset this year was the dispute over the senior lockers. Sen- iors in the previous years had been issued the new- er lockers in the 800 building but were now being issued the smaller 700 building lockers. The dispute was settled by a meeting during homeroom between Mr. Bobby Allison, assistant principal, and interested seniors. The seniors who wanted to cou.ld now move into the 800 build- ing lockers. Things that didn't change this year were the crowded halls, lock- ers, and classes as well as the utter confusion that always accompan- ies the first weeks of school. But, as always students stuck it out through thick and thin.

Or avoiding cleaning a room until it closely re- sembles a city dump? These were some types of procrastination that af- fected students, but the list definitely didn't stop there. Procrastination was a flaw almost everyone suf- fered from, and it affected every aspect of life. From not studying for semester tests to hesitating over asking a date to the prom, putting things off only made life more difficult in the long run. My habit of not clean- ing my room is a problem I have suffered from since I was a kid. It doesn't pay for me to put it off because when I finally do it, it is twice as hard and takes twice as long, said Jeff Clausen. The consequences of procrastination were often more troublesome than the original project.

It seemed like we had to compact months of planning into one week. We had many emotions - the excitement of who would be on the court, the dance, and the frustration of planning, practicing, and trying to get every- thing perfect, exclaimed Sonya Walker, captain of the senior high cheerlead- ers. Each day of homecom- ing week was set apart to show school spirit. One day was Green and White Day. Painted faces and green, spray painted hair were common. Grades '7-12 par- ticipated in showing school spirit. The annual bonfire was held Thursday night, but school spirit wasn't as evi- dent as in the days prior to this. It didn't go as well as in the past because there weren't enough people there to show their school spirit, said Ashley Phelps.

Other unexpected things happened, too. Lit- tle did anyone know, ju- nior maids Camie Bailey and Amy Hogan would wear the same formal at- tire. Amy Hogan stated that she almost died and some people even came up and asked her if they did it on purpose. The dance with the theme of If For Only One Night had a larger turnout than in pre- vious years. Lee Cook said this could have been the re- sult of several factors: win- ning the game, the oppor- tunity of having pictures made with a date, or just simple desire to attend. Homecoming Queen, Sonya Walker, along with her senior maids, Beth Harrelson and Laura Hav- ens, junior maids, Camie Bailey and Amy Hogan, and sophomore maids, Cel- este Bowers and Wende Moseley made up the Homecoming Court.

This summer the drill team flew to camp at SMU in Dallas, Texas. Some of the girls had never been on a plane be- fore. I think I was more afraid of getting sick than of anything else, but I just held my teddy bear real tight and wasn't scared anymore, Anxiety Atiocks said Cathy Barker. Ashley Phelps required more to keep her calm, however. Sherri McGhee remem- bers, She was going into hysterics before we even got on the plane. I would tell her things to scare her more, but I was sorry when she ended up trying to sit in my lap. The first time behind the wheel of a car was often a frightening experience for both the driver and the teacher. The first time I ever drove, I felt like the car was too big for the lane, and I got real tense when other cars were around me. I felt like it was me against the world, said Vic Wil- liams.

WINTER VACATIONS PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH AN ESCAPE Climate Changes Lifr Spirits ither by making the best of the cold, or by escaping the cold altogether and reloca- ting to a warmer climate such as Orlando, Florida or Hawaii, students found ways to occupy their time during the cold, Winter months. All but one of the senior high cheerleaders went to Orlando, Florida, to com- pete. But it wasn't all work and no play, even though there was some stiff competition, said Jennifer Blake. The other senior high cheerleader, Kris Chandler, went to Hawaii to cheer at the Alo- ha Bowl. Kris was chosen to go to Hawaii after a com- petition during the sum- mer. Hawaii was beautiful! I don't think there's anoth- er place as pretty. It wasn 't all fun, though. It was hard work, but it was worth it. I met a lot of new people and friends, said Kris Chandler. Other students went to such places as New York, Canada, North Carolina, while one teacher jour- neyed to Puerto Rico. I went to Toronto, On- tario, Canada in Septem- ber. The city was always spotless. Everything was beautiful. I rode the sub- way for the first time, and I toured the Niagara Falls area. My family ate break- fast in the CN Tower which is the tallest free-standing structure in the world. The worst part of the trip was on the way home when we had a 3K2 hour layover in Detroit, Michigan, but overall the trip was a real exciting experience, said Robyn Lynch. One teacher, Ms. Mary- lou Andreelli, took a vaca- tion to Puerto Rico for eight days. It was glori- ous, with the sun, sand, and palm trees. It was the first time I had ever been on a coffee or pineapple plantation. I was also able to go through the Tropical Rain Forest and pick fruit. The best part, I think, was when I spent four days in a fishing village called Pargueraf' said Ms. Marylou Andreelli, It could have been said that those students who had the Will, resources, and a little imagination fulfilled their desires for a change by getting away from it all to niunerous dif- ferent locations.

Students found shopping for ex- pensive things, and shopping for them often, fun, but not always in their best interest. I shop whenever possible, for whateverlneed. . .or don't need. I have an un- controllable passion for it which sometimes gets me into trouble financial- ly, said Jamie Wheat. Shopping sometimes be- came a release for those who just had to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A great way to relax is to just go window shopping, espe- cially when the Christmas light and decorations are out, said Stacye Shirley. An aspect of shopping totally different from that of buying clothes and oth- er essentials, was that of Student Life buying a car. When my dad said I could have a car, we both became obsessed with finding the perfect one to meet both our stan- dards. It took months of looking before mutually agreeing on the one I final- ly bought, said LaNae Jackson. VVhether for luxuries or for necessities, everyone shopped. Shopping proved either to be a huge hassle or a relaxing get-away. W,WWW,.,.,..-.v-nu ln an attempt to find her per- fect make-up colors, Terrie Bonds uses the Clarion computer at Ly- on's Pharmacy.

Begun in 1986 at the recommendation of the Parent Advisory Com- mittee, the Hall of Fame now numbers 26. Faculty members ap- pointed by the admin- stration made the selec- tions from those nomi- nated. Any senior could be nominated by a faculty member. After the nominations were submitted, the com- mittee compiled tran- scripts, activity sheets, and letters of recommen- dation. Finally, they re- viewed the nominations and submitted ,the names of the new inductees for publication. The inductees were hon- ored at the Spring awards assembly.

Exclude eight hours a night for sleeping and that still left '72 hours of spare time! Some students maxi- mized those 72 hours with various activities. Kendra Jones used a great deal of those hours taking judo lessons. She said, When I went to my first class as a visitor, I thought that this was really weird, but I gave it a try, and now it is a very important part of my life. Jamie Wheat and LaNae Jackson filled their spare hours with dance classes and teaching. James Hyatt spent his time rappelling. Many oth- er students used over '72 hours for a sport that was highly participated in, hunting. Most of the cross-coun- try runners' Saturday mornings and after school hours were used up for practice and meets. One runner, Frank Rivera, stood out by taking fourth, fifth, and sixth places in several meets that had over 50 participants from other schools. These spare hours were taken by activities other than sports: movies, parties, and shopping were always taken into consideration when thinking about what to do with spare time. I don't shop as much as I want to, but I never miss a good party or movie, said Ashley Phelps. So whenever thinking, I don't have enough spare time, think twice ,,,,,.. ay. . M 1.

Cathy Cook admires Eric Tolbert's shirt that he received for his partici- pation. Huge maps set up on the stage in the auditorium were on display for the pub- lic to see. They represented poten- tial busing plans. Student Life L FIGHTING Pom A cAusE Issues of Concern veryday after school at 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. the news came on. Some news issues hit close to home. Hands Across America on May 25,1986, was a na- tionwide event that took place on a grand scale. Making a human chain across the country in order to raise funds for the world hunger crisis was one event students eagerly participated in in Arkan- sas. The chain went through Little Rock across the Main Street Bridge. My dad works for the Coca-Cola Company and he was in charge of a whole block. I participated in it not only for him but for myselfbecause I felt like it was a good cause. I met several people who were concerned about the hun- ger situation and felt this was the best way they could express their con- cern, said Eric Tolbert. Other students also par- ticipated in the fund rais- er. Hands Across Amer- ica really hit home with me because there are hungry people right here in Arkan- sas, too, said Holly John- ston. Even closer to home was the consolidation issue. After four years of gruel- ing court battles between the Little Rock and Pulas- ki County School Dis- tricts, Judge Hem'y Woods demanded reforms made which would result in bus- ing as far as twenty miles. At a meeting held in the school auditorium on Feb- ruary 2, 1987, potential busing assignments were made for both grade school and secondary schools. Mr. Charles Stratton, President of the Pulaski County School Board, and Bobby Lester, Superinten- dent of the PCSSD along with other board members presented the maps for fu- ture plans. With the ex- ception of the Crystal Hill area, the majority of junior and senior high students would continue school at Oak Grove. On the other hand, grade school stu- dents in the Maumelle and Oak Grove communities did not fare so well. While some students were al- lowed to stay at their pres- ent school, others were go- ing to be bused to schools across the city. Upset parents, students, and teachers attended the meeting to ask questions as well as let off a little steam. I would hate to be in the school board's po- sition because of all the parents' gripes and com- plaints, said Tracy Green. Involvement by the students, faculty, and community in the issue created a feeling of uni- ty. Some vowed to the of- ficials that they were not going to let it pass with- out a fight. But board members exhausted ev- ery means of alternative in a vain attempt to avoid the busing problems. I feel like my dad CCharles Strattonj tried his best to suit everyone but that's impossible. So did the other board mem- bers. They all worked hard, said Shawna Stratton. Many issues of impor- tance pervaded the news telecasts each night. But perhaps none affected the students more di- rectly than consolida- tion and Hands Across America. Issues that would affect their lives were cause for active in- volvement to insure a better future. 1 1. Current Events A 40 aww XVAN Clubs are an exphclt way for the students to show thexr Interest m todays worldly trades 9 Clubs Cilrlbl B8 More than just an excuse to skip hom- eroom, club meetings played a very impor- tant role. The usual duties of clubs such as fund raisers, benefits, and special programs throughout the year were expected to be performed by the club members of their re- spective clubs. A field trip to October Fest by the French Club and a trip to an art mu- seum by the Art Club were just part of the many off-campus privileges received by club members. But being a member of a club was more than just field trips and fun days. With ac- tivities that contributed to the school, many club members found they could play an important part in the school's financial status. For example, the selling of calen- dars by Senior Beta contributed to a new P.A. system. All of the clubs on campus boosted the FBLA members attend leadership conferences where they are given tests in their designated categories such as typing. Traci May adds an award won at the spring conference to a long line of many others. The latest awards were won in typing by Exploratory Business and Typing I and II students. morale of the student body and communi- ty. The Students Against Drunk Driving Worked hard to publicize and promote their purpose. Our purpose is to per- suade people to think before they drink and drive because it could kill them or others, said Wende Moseley. FBLA sponsored food baskets for the needy citi- zens of our community. Many people, once involved in a club, found there was no turning back. They dis- covered that participating gave them a sense of importance and involvement in campus happenings. Club involvement is essential because it instills pride in the students that is reflected on campus, commented Laura Whitworth, student body vice-president. Most people found clubs in which they could serve to the best of their ability and contribute a part of themselves to the school. Clubs 89 9, 42 1, gm. ,Er Xl ' X 5 , Xx 3 L?

Between the three bands and an orchestra, Oak Grove heard a variety of sounds, styles, and rhythms. Those involved were the seventh grade band, junior high band, se- nior high band, and the or- chestra taught by Mr. Jerry Lane. Robin Ratliff was the lat- est band director at Oak Grove. Mr. Ratliff makes the sixth band director at Oak Grove in the past five years. Mr. Ratliff came straight from college to di- rect at Oak Grove, and un- less consolidation gets him, he plans to stay for a long time. Mr. Ratliff graduated from Oak Grove in 1980 and was in band. He said that he likes the job and he thinks that he can help the situation a lot. This year's band was a little slim on the popula- tion side, but that surely didn't cut down on their quality. They have been a super group and have worked hard. Hopefully other musically talented students will decide to join band. We really have fun learning new music, said Robin Ratliff. Mr. Lane, along with teaching at Oak Grove High, also teaches at Oak Grove Elementary, Pine Forest, and Sylvan Hills. It's fun most of the time, but it does have its moments. Take All-Region tryouts, for example. They give you all of this hard music to learn, and it's hard to get it down before the tryouts, said Abby Holt. Students found that tak- ing a class in the arts, such as band or orchestra, try- ing, but when they made All-Region band or orches- tra, or did good at other contests, they could.n't have helped but have a sense of pride in what they had accomplished.

Sounds of Music The halls were alive with the sound of music as the choir program continued to expand. VVhen I first came to Oak Grove three years ago, there were bare- ly enough students for two choirs. Now with the stu- dents becoming more in- terested in the choir pro- gram, we have grown to four separate choirs, said Ms. Shipps, choir director. The choir has performed for the community at Oak Grove Elementary, Pine Forest Elementary, the Good Samaritan Village, and Trinity Court Nursing Home. The Christmas concert proved to be the choirs' big- gest production. We spent endless hours of practicing, but it paid off as the Christmas concert was a success. said Lisa Laramee, after the December 11 perform- ance. This year was the first year for the choir program to participate in Madri- gals. This particular pro- gram was developed for students who were natu- rally talented and above other students. I was kind of nervous to try out because I had never been in choir before. I think I caught on pretty well for a beginner, said Mike An- derson. The Madrigals perform- ed their first live concert May 14. This concert was the first for jazz music. At first we had a lot of trouble harmonizing with each other. The jazz music moved much faster, but was fun, said J oe Wade. With the increase and success of the program, the choirs had a fulfilling year. Vocol clubs 93 Z' FY ll' VICA.

CThat means shop boyslj The vo- cational clubs on campus included VICA, AIASA, and VICA - drafting. The AIASA classes con- centrated upon the improvement of the school physically. They built wal- kways and other neces- sa1'y additions to the grow- ing campus. They also studied the industrial arts and machine operation. Vocational Indus- trial Clubs of America meant nothing to most people, but to shop boys it meant VICA, the club for students enrolled in Auto Mechanics 1 or 2. The club hoped to keep the students in the field to meet the growing demand for automotive techni- cians. The members competed on the state and national levels. In the 1986 compe- tition, the VICA boys came I n back with two statesman awards and the 100fMm club award. Bobby Rosamond won first place in the small engine competition, while Mark Youngblood placed second, and Jeff Barks- dale, third in the auto parts category. Gary Beckman accepted the po- sition for State Secretary. There was a fun side to the club, as with almost ev- erything on campus. VICA's initiation process caused some distress among the junior mem- bers. On a designated day, the juniors wore their clothes inside out and backwards, or else they faced the age-old puddle punishment. If the weath- er did not provide a suit- able mud hole, the senior members did so without hesitation. This was a highly respected custom among the VICA boys. The money raised by selling candy was used to VICA PRODUCED another award- winning creation. Stacy Horton, Steele Jones and Derek Reh helped build the float that won the homecoming float competition. OILING PISTONS is not John Zajac's favorite pastime, but it's not that bad once the motor runs. Steve Mamayek and Rodney Shumate work with John to get his six-cylinder 1965 Camaro running again. help finance their yearly trip to Greers Ferry Lake where they camped for two nights. Last spring, AIASA joined the three day trip. They went boating, fishing, frog gigging, and skiing. Boyd Kincaid, a newcomer to the sport of Waterskiing, was wearing jeans and the other people in the boat talked him into cutting his jeans off and trying. He never did learn how to ski, said Steele Jones. The VICA boys de- cided to liven things up a little when the AIASA boys went to sleep. Their at- tempt to tie Boyd up and throw him in the lake was unsuccessful. Having fun and winning contests and titles were only a small part of the roles these clubs really played in a student's aca- demic life. They also edu- cated these students for their future careers.

Students Plon for VVho'r's To Come in Their Thoughts for Tomorrow 40,000? According to Mandy Saffell a 40,000 job field existed in the world. Career Orientation has helped me realize that there are more than 40,000 fields in the job in- dustry. The variety of the jobs is enormous. C.O. just helps me narrow down my choices for the job field that would be best for me, said Mandy. For the days, months, and years ahead, students began preparing for the fu- ture. With the help of ca- reer oriented clubs, the fu- ture seemed less distant. Being in GCE helps me get a head start on what I Want to do for the rest of my life. It is interesting to see the different jobs that are available, said John Munns. Among the career orient- ed clubs were General Co- operative Education Club of America, Career Orien- tation, Future Homemak- ers of America, and Career Cooperative Education Club of America. Another Way that these clubs went about learning job relations was by going on field trips to various places. One of the many field trips that the C.O. club Went cn, was to the Coca-Cola Factory. It was really interest- ing to see how the bottling of Cokes was done. There are a lot of jobs available in the factory. Any one of them would be fun, said Brian Hay. Preparing for the future was a lot more than just a thought for tommorowg it was a process of learning as Well. THE GCE CLUB WAS VERY AC- TIVE in raising money by sponsoring fund raisers. One of these fund raisers was the car bash. Joey Couturier helps out by taking his turn bashing the windshield of the car. THE CCE CLUB HAD A LOT OF WAYS to show oft their club spirit. One of these ways was by sporting their new CCE jackets as Tina Curtis, Steven Day, Loretta Perkins, Bo Ratliff, and Michael McHughes did. Coreer Clubs FBLA.

People Wanted help all year. Whether for changing a car flat or carrying all those books, help was ap- preciated. Some students decided to help fellow stu- dents by joining Fire Mar- shals, Students Against Drunk Driving, Library Club, and Future Business Leaders of America. Those guys running around checking class- rooms during a fire drill were the Fire Marshals on campus. When everyone had cleared the buildings, it was the job of the Mar- shals to check and see if everyone had obeyed and gone outside. If it had been a real fire, students could have owed their life to the Marshall's persistence. Students Against Drunk Driving CSADDJ organized for their first year on cam- pus. They looked for stu- dents and friends at par- ties, dances, and other functions who were under the influence. Several stu- dents Were stopped by SADD. This was one way to deal with a very serious problem. SADD is to con- trol students' drunk driv- ing. This is a practical way to deal with an emotional problem, said member Holly Johnston. The Library Club took charge of library chores. They put books on the shelf, took care of the desk up front, and kept up with overdue books. The club helped the librarian, Mrs. Barbara McKinney, by running any errands that she needed. The aides were there almost every period to help any students who came in for study pur- poses. Future Business Lead- ers of America was made up of people in any of the business courses. FBLA talked about and worked to develop business skills. They attended the region leadership conference at the Excelsior. We com- pete with other schools in various business type ac- tivities, said president Amy Thistlethwaite. These service clubs were helpful in several ways around campus. Most stu- dents in them were happy being able to help other students. Service Clubs STINGER STAFF.

The Tcusk of Keeping Siudenis Involved Fell To The Informers Inter-club Council kept track of all club activities, while student government was a vital link between the students and the ad- ministration. The newspa- per staff reminded stu- dents of events of the past as well as the future in month to month activities while the yearbook staff kept tabs all year for the fi- nal product, one thing that students referred back to for past school memories. The informers, the ones who kept students aware of what was on campus as well as off, stayed busy. Keeping the students informed as well as provid- ing them with a place to come to with problems or suggestions is our main job as the Student Govern- ment, said Laura Whitworth. Another way students could voice their opinion and be heard was through the school newspaper. With letters to the editor, polls, and surveys, the pa- per gave students many opportunities to share their knowledge as well as gain some from others. Although their efforts weren't recognized until the end of the year, the yearbook staff kept in tune with the events and the things that made the year special. Every year has some- thing special and unique that students will want to remember forever, said Cathy Cook. With each new year came a new student gov- ernment, a new Inter-Club Council, a new yearbook staff, and a new newspaper staff. Each year the stu- dents devoted their time and energy to make the school year one that was not soon forgotten. 3, 3 CONFERENCES KEEP Student Gov- ernment officers aware of what is hap- pening.

Through hard work senior lettermen, jiuiior letter- men, and pep club proved their loyalty to the school. Senior and junior letter- men's club have been at the school for several years. Members belonging to the organization were first, second, or third year lettermen of football, bas- ketball, baseball, track, tennis, golf, cross country, drill team, or cheerleaders. Being in the junior letter- men's club for one year and the senior lettermen's -aww' club for two years has been a great honor. Getting my letter and jacket shows that I have worked at what I have done, said Eric Tol- bert. The pep club, for the ju- nior high, was a new spirit organization at Oak Grove.

E PM lf The People With Guts ond Broins Seemed To Have It All Scientific experiments were fun for almost every- one. Senior and junior high students strove for those high grades that mom and dad looked for. Many were thankful that they had Beta and Science Clubs for the scientists and scholars on campus. Senior Beta was spon- sored by Mr. Jerry Moore. They held meetings to dis- cuss what was happening in the academic World. Beta is a club for certain academic students who meet the requirements, said president Laura 1 f yn-P , Whitworth. Beta entered several contests during the year to see how stu- dents in the club looked next to other students in the county, state, and the nation. Junior Beta was the aca- demic honor roll for junior high students. Students with 3.0 or above grade point averages Who met certain conduct require- ments were invited to membership. It held meet- ings and discussed any problems members might be having with classes. Junior Science Club was M-WVW' Www wfusf .,,.,,,,,,,,M -1 'www ,,., ......,,.,,,, ! for junior high students who wanted to further their scientific studies. Junior Science is an orga- nization to promote inter- est in science by planned activities and field trips of scientific activities, said sponsor Connie Graham. Junior Science Went on several field trips such as one to a nuclear power plant. Whether you were a sci- entist or a scholar or both there was a club for you. The Beta and Science clubs are for the academics on campus. l ,X -----N ' Q 1 y .... ,W as 2 . , y 2 i 1 '1 Q 4 2 V 5 , ' 'M 4' it Q Q . V R I , av . '-as Q db M A- E! W . . ,,.. .

Fine Arts Organizations Provide Students with ci Change of Pace Plays, art centers, Flam- enco dances and French cuisine probably had noth- ing in common unless a student was involved in the Drama, Art, Spanish or French-German Clubs. With a strong interest in the cultural arts, students found many opportunities to explore many new and fascinating ideas. Field trips, speech tourna- ments, and fundraisers were just a few of the activ- ities. Not only did the mem- bers of the Drama Club participate in the produc- tion of plays, but some also competed in Speech tour- naments. When Miss Elliott first asked me to go, I was very nervous. When I walked into the room to do my speech, I heard two or three speeches. I knew I had some tough competi- tion, and I wasn't too confi- dent, but I went up and did my presentation the best I knew how, said Wende Moseley. Field trips to the art Cen- ter and the UALR Art De- partment gave art club members many new ideas about their work. It was interesting and fun. We saw neat modern art and some really weird art, HAVING A BITE of Spanish cuisine provided the Spanish Club with a little bit of Spain's heritage. Jonathan Davis, Mandy Dumas, and Bubba McVay try to decide whether or not they are will- ing to try the frijoles. PLAYING WITH TOYS was an un- usual activity to see at school. Mike Da- vis and Ric Wade find a few moments to play with the unusual Spanish toys. said Maijo Wuorisalo. Not only did Spanish students learn to speak the language, but they ex- plored the lives and cul- ture of the Spanish de- scent which could be traced back centuries ago. With a taste for Mexi- can cuisine and an interest in Mexican dancing, stu- dents took an excursion to a production of Flamenco dancing. The French classes spent a day away from the books as they ventured to see a French play and then to McCain Mall for a little Christmas shopping. -- M Performances l do go W AL NX '41 vgf This student body is friendlier because this is such a small school. Ev- eryone knows everyone else, and they're accep- ting of new people. 39 People I Um, ..mlW ' 1 ...--uv'- stiff U M, PEQJPLE On August 24, 1005 people gathered together to form a mass from which there was no turning back. This mass developed into a body that would not dissolve until May. The beauty of the body came from the many artists. Talents like Jennifer Ar- doin's were displayed throughout the school and at district and state fairs. The artists not only included the visual artists, but the actors, performing artists. Emotional or humorous, they brought out beauty through their performance. Student Government provided the body with a voice. The officers, led by presi- dent Al Graham, were responsible for see- ing that the wants and needs ofthe school's student body were heard by the faculty. The outspoken individuals chosen as represen- tatives voiced opinions from their class- mates. The Big Bad Wolf gets after the Grandmother at the Halloween pep assem- bly. Wayne Brown played Crandmother as he and wolf David Kersey per- form with the Drill Team. The school and its related activities were seen through the journalists. The eyes of the camera-clicking photogra- phers, like Mike Anderson and Cathy Cook, caught memorable moments, while the reporters and writers recorded all they heard in the newspaper or yearbook. The measurement of bodily strength came from the athletes, as shown by Gary Williams. Gary ran five touchdowns in only one game only to be disappointed when three were called back. Athletic ex- cellence enhanced both physical and mental strength of the body. Winning brought individuals closer with spirit and school pride. This body was a continuation of bod- ies past and a part of bodies to come, but somehow it was unique and better, be- cause it was the individuals themselves that made a. great student body.

All of these situations have one thing in common. They're just figments of imagination. They were some of the dream jobs conjured up in the minds of the seniors. What will you be? was a famil- iar question to most seniors, and many had the ultimate in mind. Laura Vifhitworth - Justice of the Supreme Court Amber Pate - design layouts for a major magazine. Dawn Drennon - Prosecuting attorney of the Northern Hemi- sphere or the greatest female film di- rector in history. James Harness - a policeman and then the President of the United States Brian Dail - lie on the beach and watch the sun - and get paid Troy Elam - a missionary in Hawaii To some, these dreams may seem ridiculous and useless. But one senior had a different view. My big dreams, said N ecole Harper, help me shoot for the Mercedes I'm going to drive someday. L z l .

Robyn Lynch was given her car as an early graduation gift and put her practical gift to use immedi- ately. Seniors may have put on a show, but many were disappointed when they discovered their gifts. I was hoping to get a new car, and all I got was a sunroof for my old car, said Amy Thistlethwaite.

They were all at the pep assembly. On a chance, he checked the door, it was unlock- ed. Closing the door behind him, he looked around once more. He was alone in Ms. Graham's room, noth- ing between him and the food. Searching through cupboards, he matched ingredients to the recipe. A short time later, they were done. The other students returned to class to find Kirk Wilkens polishing off the last of the chocolate chip cookies he had made from scratch. Seniors spent their class time and free time evoking laughter from their peers. Vlfhether done on pur- pose, like Wayne Brown and David Kersey joining the Drill Team dur- ing their Halloween pep assembly dressed as a grandmother and a wolf, or just by being themselves, like Todd Langley dancing the Time Warp in front of his American Histo- ry class, they kept everyone amused. Classroom antics were designed to break up the monotony of daily class work. The Humanities and World Cultures classes were kept on their toes by Gary Williams. From the time he and John Holland played cops at the door in World Cultures to the times Ms. Andreelli's discus- sed his chalkboard invention, Gary kept the classroom entertained. Out of school, humorous situa- tions arose involving cars. Wade Wetzler's Bronco got stuck in the mud on Oak Grove Road on one occa- sion, and because of Scott Harness's hitting a gas line, no one was allowed to leave campus until it was fixed. There was also the time Lenny Whiteman had to push Laura Whitworth's car over the speed bump. During Christmas season, Gale Reed and Juli Sedberry discov- ered Juli's keys locked in her car. While waiting for Juli's dad to bring an extra key, they occupied them- selves by looking at wrapping paper for an hour and a half. Senior year involved good times as well as bad times, but it's the good times that will be remembered. Sheri Marie lrvin Arn 10: FCA 10.

Though from places not so far away, they shared the experience of starting over and making new friends. Shannon Keel- er said, It was hard leaving my old friends behind, but the people here were friendly, so I made friends fast. Whether coming from across town or across the globe, the stu- dents had the same task of becoming a part of the school. By graduation they had found that lasting relation- ships could be formed in one year. There was always a first for everything!

They weren't trying to reach the top anymore. They were there. Nothing they had done in the preced- ing years could be changed, but many fond memories would remind them just how far they'd come. ,They laughed when they thought of their freshman year, when they had idolized Tom Selleck, John Travolta, and Christie Brink- ley. They couldn't believe how much they had used the but, mom, ever- ybody's going excuse. Nor could they believe how childishly they had reacted when someone threw my favorite stuffed bear away. Their sophomore year was spe- cial, too. This was the year their artistic abilities came bursting through with the Sonya loves Un- dra, I loove James, or Al loves Laura scribbled across notebooks, pencils, and lockers. Some had a problem arranging their eating schedule, and remembered how the Morning Munchies had taken con- trol. 0ver that summer some of us did a lot of growing up, said Beth Harrelson when reminded of her Morning Munchies fits. Most seniors recalled their junior year as a year of control. They knew they had almost reached their goal, but they also knew they still had a long way to go. Students got serious in their efforts in class. Grades and col- lege finally became important to many. Putting the past behind them, the class of '87 realized that it was time to get serious. The time had come for them to show what they were made of. The past was past, and the seniors knew they cou1dn't change that. The future had finally come. They had achieved what they had been working toward and striv- ing for all their lives. They knew they had made it. .uv ,gef- x Stan Pruss oc:-:CA 12. Tim Pruss vrc.-1 12: crcscn 11: Football 10.

Reminders of friends and fun were pulled from the door and packed away. The accumu- lation of a year's worth of trash was dumped into the nearest trashcan for if none could be found, on the floorj. For the first time since August, the locker was clean. Final locker clean out was one of the steps involved in breaking away from school. Returning text- books, saying goodbye to old teach- ers, and eating one last meal in the cafeteria were met with mixed reac- tions throughout the senior class. While some looked upon this with sadness, Brian Dail said, I'm just happy to get out. Some seniors had been weaning themselves from school for a while. They had gradually spent less and less time in school. Off-campus lunch and the freedom to leave early for those without eighth period clas- ses added to the amount of time spent away from school. Skipping school altogether, or just a few clas- ses, were common, if illegal, prac- tices. Others, in an attempt to make the most of their last year here, could be seen all over campus, tak- ing an active part in the functioning of the school. School support by the seniors has been really high this year. We want to give them a lot to remember us by next year, said Da- vid Kersey. Heading into the last month of the last semester was for many the signaling of a major span of their lives coming to an end. Vlfhen the fi- nal bell rang on their last day of high school, they left knowing that there was no turning back.

Sherri McGhee's crusade to kill whatever bug happens to appear is evi- denced in her unrelenting stakeout of her side- walk. Mrs. Eudy, as well as several juniors in her class, are allergic to bee stings.

I haven't been stung since I was young, but I don't want to take the chance of it happening again. I al- ways go out of my way to avoid bees whenever they're in the room, said Becky Norwood. Flies had easy access to the classrooms because of the constant opening and closing of the doors to the buildings. During the hotter months of the year, before the coun- ty office consented to turn on the air conditioner, windows were left open. A popular classroom activity found the entire class trying to coax an in- sect out of the window. Crawling bugs also created a hazard for the junior's studies. Spi- ders left squeamish juniors jumping out of seats and stomping around on the floor until the offending crea- ture was obliterated. Another unpopular, unwanted guest was the common mosquito. Everyone was fearless when it came to the mosquito. Occasional slaps punctuated the otherwise silent classroom. Whether it was a spider, a wasp, or just a simple fly, it was sure to cause an interruption. Ridding the class of bugs gave the average junior a chance to portray his bravery while it provided a break from routine for the rest of the class.

By listen- ing closely, the sounds became recogniz- able as they took on the form of old T.V. theme songs. Reminiscing about younger days was something often done by juniors in their spare time. Memories could be trig- gered by anything from re-runs on T.V. to younger brothers and sisters. Some memories came quicker than others. Eric Booth could relay scene by scene in great detail while those with weaker memories sat back and tried vainly to recall what show Barney Rub- ble was on. This was also the time for telling deep, dark secrets. Admissions of former crushes on Batman and Gilligan brought laughter from the group. Re-living childhood entertainment was seen as immature by other grades, but to the juniors it was just another way of expressing their individuality. Other grades may look down but they've never been through the experience. Re-runs of old television shows have developed a following of devoted juniors. Kelli Ray and Cathy Barker gather around the T.V. to catch another episode ol The Flintstones. i , -'fr ilgl M , -g.. '- ' ..

The average junior came to the crowded auxiliary gym with the typi- cal ''I-don't-care-where-I'm-going-as long-as-I-miss-class attitude. But when these students left, they had gained more than a period off. They knew more about what they could do with their future. These students had attended Ca- reer Day, designed to help students be- options clorified come more aware of the opportunities available to them. Colleges from all over Arkansas and surrounding states sent representatives to give the stu- dents a hands-on presentation. The program also included infor- mation on earning money. The word money caused a. glimmer of light in the junior's eyes, yet the word earn seemed to bring the dreams of fancy Eki, .:.k cars and huge houses down to reality. The junior class may turn out doc- tors, businessmen and women, car dealers, and mail carriers in time with the help of education. The juniors real- ized at the short get-out-of-class pe- riod they would have to plan carefully for a future not so far ahead. Past yearbooks and colorful information packets along with a. knowledgable college representative to answer their questions catch the attention of Angie J ones and Kar- en Moix. Interested juniors often discuss options among their peers. Kevin Curry and Patti Malloch look over a display set up by the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.

To feel the wind pulling at their hair and watch the speed limit signs whizzing by gave their lives a new thrill. Freedom-loving juniors expe- rienced these sensations as more and more opportunities arose to test their driving abilities. Along with their new feeling of power came a flurry of tickets that dampened their high spirits. Tickets ranged from ordinary speeding to sitting on a moving car. Rumors spread that the speed limit would once again be 65 miles per hour - an idea that lifted the fidgeting ju- niors once more. Right when you get a new car it's hard not to go over the speed lim- v Y? it because you Want to see how far you can push it, said Sarah Norton. High powered engines and long stretches of empty road still called the juniors, though, and some found the temptation too inviting. They continued squealing their tires and risking their necks for a few short minutes of freedom. The blue and white police cars are a familiar sight to many drivers. They look harmless enough parked at the Maumelle Police Department, but they can quicken the heart when seen in a rearview mirror. 10 Rummaging through the daily newspaper, Mike Bizzell and .lack Dollarhide search for coupons of- fering them the best bargains. Students found that favorite spots, such as Pizza lnn, Taco Bell, Putt Putt, movie theaters, and bowling alleys often of' fered discounts in the form of coupons. teenoge Iifesovers when the moneu's short The modern day coupon could be referred to by the younger genera- tion as an all around teenage life- saver. Everything from restaurant coupons to student discount movie cards - students seemed to use them all. The use of coupons ap- peared to increase gradually as most sophomores found it difficult to Work because of their age or trans- portation. The size of the weekly allowance found itself as the prime culprit of students foraging through newspa- pers in search of coupons. Because I had a hard time com- ing up with cash, I had to bust out and scrounge for some pizza cou- pons and some food stamps for Bob's Supermarket, said Doug Freeman. More and more students have discovered the financial benefits of using coupons. Coupons have been found not only satisfying teenage appetites, but also assisting during leaner times of entertainment bud- gets such as movie rentals coupons. On the average about BOW: of the students that come in are using coupons, said a Mazzio's employee. In the long rim, coupons saved teenagers a significant amount of money which made it possible to do more Without the great expense! x Sophomores ' ' rw. b Q .' iris:- :: A K .,--' ' 5 'M' f -,Ara-o' E ,, X A- 'AN's.,. . - t- -NC . rd., X 'A - s 2+ xt i X ,QS is . 1 4 1. , Fi M , K ,L l 1 K rk. ,k..:g,K R- in K . pw fif f 1 D .. 1,. 4 'if W gg Q , 5 W My emi?

When Kelli Hammond and Chris- tine Smith went to visit Christine's sister, Charise Yankie, at college, they Walked from fraternity house to fraternity house, from party to party after the football game. They had never seen so many people and par- ties before in their lives. When students wanted to see what college life was like, they visit- ed an older brother or sister or a friend who attended college. This way one was a college student for the Weekend and acted that Way Without any questions being asked. Usually the older sibling invited the younger brother or sister when there was some big activity on cam- pus like a football game, Homecom- ing, or sorority or fraternity func- tions. After each of these, there were parties everyone went to. During the weekend, it was not uncommon to stay out until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning. Since there were no curfews or parents to an- swer to, students were on their own. Visiting brothers or sisters also provided students with ideas of the serious aspects of college. Students learned quickly that college life is not all fun and games. Hours of studying were essential to obtain de- cent grades, and it was not uncom- mon to spend a Weekend cramming for a major test. With all this to consider, stu- dents found the decision of attend- ing college after high school some- what difficult. I want to make sure I consider all aspects before I decide if and where I attend college, said Kelli Hammond. The chances students were giv- en to visit older siblings at college aided in their final decision concern- ing the plans for the future.

The range of these treasures dif- fered tremendously throughout the class. I consider my family to be my most prized possession because they are always there for me, said Jenni- fer Donham. Other than families, sophomores found that friends, The discovery that prized possessions sometimes require hard work is made by Doug Freeman and Sean Soulsby as they spend countless hours main- taining Doug's car. cars, T-shirts, musical instruments, stuffed animals, and a wide variety of knick-knacks seemed to be the most highly valued. Some possessions required time and effort to keep them in good con- dition in order to maintain the prized effects. My '65 Mustang is not only for transportation, but it's also a sort of pastime. I work endlessly on it trying to keep it looking nice and running smoothly, said Doug Free- man. There were numerous reasons to hold a particular object in such high regard. It may have been wanted for quite sometime, it may have been given by someone special, or perhaps it Was just the thought be- hind the gift that gave it sentimen- tal value. It may sound unusual, but my prized possession is my piano. Whenever I'm worried or up- set I only need to play for a While to get my mind off my problems, said Cynthia Kelley.

Modern conveniences such as microwaves are extremely useful to an inexperienced cook, but even they have a few directions for proper use. Sean Soulsby finds out soon enough that using foil is a big mistake in microwave cooking. modern conveniences focing life without them Microwaves, curling irons, hair sticks, electric shavers, hot lathering machines, and hair dryers - life was full of time-saver appliances. Some girls couldn't imagine get- ting ready for school Without hair dryers or hot rollers. I actually think I would die if I had to go to school with out fixing my hair. Besides everyone could see about what my hair looked like in the morning, said Wende Mo- seley. What would the guys have looked like if there were no shavers or shav- ing cream? They might have walked around with little fuzzy beards and mustaches. Some guys preferred elec- tric shavers to normal razors. Ronnie Andrews said, I think the electric shavers are much easier and a lot less People dangerous. I get tired of Walking around with the little nicks that I get on my face from using a normal ra- zor. As far as microwaves and other modern cooking appliances were concerned, students usually only used them While in a bind like when their parents Weren't home. Some students didn't even know how to prepare a meal Without using the mi- crowave. Whether considered a necessity or a luxury, modern conveniences were found by most students to be li- fesavers when life in the fast lane seemed to be neverending. -- ..

Some girls thought they were born dieting. Others just wanted to lose a pound here or an inch there. For others, dieting was a way of life. Yes, I diet. I lost 20 pounds. I lost and kept it up as long as I could keep it off. It just takes whole lot of will power, said Kristi Long. As a lot of freshman found out, it took so long and took so much will power to make a diet work. Freshmen cheerleaders found they had to keep an average weight or they were not allowed to perform. Several freshman didn't have that great will power and found it impossi- ble to make their diets work. I hate them! It just didn't work for me. Every time I saw food I was tempted to pig out, said Shannon Collier. Whether it worked or not, a lot of freshmen decided to give dieting a. try. They would starve themselves or drink eight glasses of water a. day. Sev- eral decided to help each other out and buddy dieted. Whether freshmen had help or just decided to try and go it alone, a lot had dieting on the brain. It was evi- dent that freshmen's bodies and ap- pearances meant more to them, and they wanted to look their best. So in the end, both male and fe- male decided on their own whether to eat or not to eat. Some just wanted to lose a few pounds. Several Wanted to lose whole inches. Luck seemed to play a part in whether one kept his diet up. Christmas definitely was an un- lucky time to want to diet. Everyone just wanted to do his thing in losing weight. HHH! III l 'f..f :.

It hit in the dead of night, on the bus, or in the middle of class - the unpredictable urge to break those New Year's resolutions and go back to bad habits. Some had chocolate cravings, fingernail chew- ies. Others would want to sleep in class. Bad habits didn't always annoy or hurt anyone, but freshmen's top annoyers were the anonymous drtunmers, bubble poppers, and the smackers. Drummers always played their pencils with no real rhy- thm in the middle of a test. Bubble poppers got their kicks by popping their gum as loudly as possible at the most important time. Then there were the smackers, the people who couldn't keep their mouth shut during meal time. Although most seemed bad there were good habits as well. Buck- ling seat belts and taking notes to study by were a couple of helpful habits. Others made it a habit to do something for their bodies. Whether for a naughty body or an aerobics workout, Jim Botin was probably glad freshmen decided to take care of their bodies. Both breaking bad habits and starting good ones seemed to be one of the hardest things to do. But with the help of other freshmen, students made it through the new year striv- ing to obtain good habits!

No matter how hard they fought, they could.n't get in. Lines were another one of life's most disliked although un- avoidable adventures. No one could get through their lifetime without having endured a line of some kind. No one could avoid the lines of traffic, and of course, lunch lines. Even the seniors didn't get away from lines when they went off cam- pus for lunch. lines Avoiding lines was next to im- possible. Going out on a date was very tiring after waiting in line for movie tickets, then for popcorn, and then for seats. The lunch lines were the most unpopular of all lines. Once a. stu- dent got to the cafeteria, through the line and found a table, lunch was all but over. The long line of life was also a big frustration, especially for fresh- men, who seemed to be in the middle of it. Freshmen could find no escape from life's Wearisome lines.

Why did a lot of the freshmen go to the patio between periods? Everyone just started doing it, so I went along too, commented Mel- issa Hayden. Freezing weather or rain could only slow the freshmen down when it came to congregating in the patio and talking. Many students just wanted to go and talk to friends. Others had to pick up last night's ho- mework or ask about that test they had next period that their friend had just taken. In pretty weather others found using the patio to go to classes a. hard thing to do. Freshmen seemed to take to the patio by storm. Several students found out the hard way that staying in the patio got them in trouble if they were tardy often enough. With seconds left they ran to class and made it or had that last tardy that meant going home for a couple of days. Whether to have extra time to talk or deal with schoolwork, fresh- men were found in the patio.

I flunked another one of Mrs. Steele's math tests, my dad left for work without giv- ing me a ride to school and my moth- er expects me to miss the basketball game Thursday night to work on my homework again. I need a break! Most teenagers probably foiuid themselves in this type of situation many times during the course of the year. It can be helpful to have a place where one can go to get away from it all. Favorite get aways included the library, a treehouse, one's room, and the park. Sometimes when I have just had it - when it's been one of those days - and I can't get up and leave the class I'm in, I put my pencil down and pull my shirt over my eyes, Nancy Donham said when asked where her place to get away from it all was. If I can, my room is where I prefer to go. Someplace where no one else is. Be it my room or even a cor- ner in a quiet hall during class. I just like to be alone, said Missy Pharr. Students who didn't have a place to escape to often found re- lease in other activities. By putting their thoughts into writing in dia- ries, poems, journals, and letters to t discover friends, some eighth graders found escape from the daily grind. By plugging in earphones, stu- dents shut out the noises that they didn't Want to hear. Still others es- caped into a good book. They found their places. They had their spots, and they must have worked, because they made it through all the one-of-those-days days. The eighth graders s1u'vived, but they could.n't have done it With- out a retreat. They had to take time out from the hustle and bustle of our world for time in their own little world. Ruth Attanasia r c Billy Aughenbough K Shannon Banks Ken Beckham ,Y-.

The eighth graders didn't really know where they belonged. They knew they weren't on bottom, but they also knew they didn't have a name yet.

They're good kids, but like any other class before them, they just need to be reminded that right now they are paying their dues. Soon they'll be the ones dominating the campus. Toward the beginning, the eighth graders thought they could break the ranks and proceed to make themselves something important on the campus. In actuality they came to the realization that the ranks at high school were too strong to be bro- ken. 'I 48 People -v 4 S 'll The 300 building proved to be a haven for eighth graders.

North Little Rock, Oak Grove!! Let's Go! These very familiar words came barrelling from the mouths of 82 cheering girls as they showed their support for the junior high teams. Pep Club brought out many girls who wanted to share the junior high cheerleader's experi- ences in cheering their teams on to many victories and being there dur- ing the times of defeat. The Pep Club organized itself for the first time at Oak Grove this year. The Pep Club performed in the stands at both football and basket- ball games. There were 82 girls at the begin- ning of school. Almost two-thirds of the club was made up of 8th grade .r -Uv 1sgs 5 t, K- Q ii' .1-, A - A . '-.'

I will handle it a lot differently next year, said Mrs. Steele. Limiting membership is the first thing I'm going to do. Because there were so many, Mrs. Jennifer Steele, the cheerleading sponsor, had a lot of changes to be made for next year. I hope with much plan- ning and preparation, Mrs. Steele said, that in a few years Oak Grove's Junior High Pep Club will be Oak Grove's Junior High Drill Team. That's what I'm working towards. Homeroom seemed to be the only time Mrs. Steele could get all of the Pep Club girls together and then only once a week. On that day, the girls worked on everything they could. They perfected all the hand and feet movements and coordinat- ed their pom-pon drills. The work seemed like nothing compared with the good feeling I got everytime we performed, said Kris- ti Wallace. Starting something new is al- ways difficult, but the 8th grade girls on the Pep Club helped make this task easier on Mrs. Steele. Pep Club will continue for years to come, but this year's Pep Club can say they were the first.

There were so many different things to choose! At least it seemed that way at first glance. On a closer look, stu- dents realized that they had to elect only two subjects to complete their schedules. The eighth graders had to choose from a variety of classes and activities. Other subjects were re- quired such as English, math, sci- ence, social studies, and new-com- ers, one semester of Career Orienta- tion and one semester of health. This left only two periods for elec- tives. Some choices were study hall, athletics, band, choir, and art. Nine students fell victim to county policy. This was because not enough students in French from last year's seventh grade classes signed up for eighth grade French. County policy said that at least 10 students must enroll before a class can be designated. I think that we were treated wrong. Vlfhen I was in the seventh grade, the counselors said that we could continue a foreign language, but then they turned around and said that we couldn't, said Jennifer Martin. Eighth graders faced with mak- ing decisions about their curriculum consulted parents, friends, and counselors to help them choose wise- ly. 2 49' M 4 John Standridge Tisha Stane Stephen Stough Brandi Street Jamie Tow Carrie Thompson Eron Thompson Shea Thrash David Tolbert Thomas Trice Joe Vandiver Jason Vint Terri Walker Kristi Wallace John Waters Ashley Webb Cassie White Monica White Danny Wilbanks Nita Williams Steven Worsham Pam York Abby Young Monica Young Mickey Zinnamon .tg 3,2 if Eighth 5 3 Tracy Alford Blythe Allen Jeremy Apel Brandy Aultman Troy Bamhart David Bateman Chris Becker Shawn Booth Pam Boyles Jimmy Bridges Jan Brown Patrick Buckley Jennifer Bums Brent Burris Wendi Burton Jeff Caldwell Wendy Callahan April Campbell Carl Campbell Brett Carter In an Introduction to Sports, seventh graders pre pare to take on the challenge oi competition of sports as they advance to their eighth grade year 'Sw fs X w ff- I? 7. 3, f 1 ang - Stephen Chism Amy Chunn Josh Churchwell Lindy Cobum Mandy Collier ,g, I ,,,. gg Y' W, H' fgjisz A 4 Q Wg 'N v A ' .

Beginning in the fall of '86, sev- enth grade athletics was no longer offered and was dropped from the curriculum. In its place An Intro- duction to Sports was added. The two classes were basically the same, except that, due to a lack of funding, the students did not en- gage in competition between other schools. I wish that they hadn't stopped basketball. I have played a lot of years and I was looking forward to this year, said Jeff Caldwell. Cathy Digby, coach of the sev- enth grade girls said, I feel they made the right decision. In their sev- enth grade year, they just aren't ready, physically. That first year is a good way to take time and Work on fundamentals. Overall, seventh graders were disappointed, but the thought of playing on the junior high team cheered them up.

How can I concentrate if I do a thing like that? There are many different study habits that are used by different peo- ple. Good study habits proved bene- ficial by allowing the student to score high on a range of tests, quiz- zes, and semester exams. Seventh graders were the ones most affected in either changing bad habits or creating good ones because they were introduced to semester exams for the first time, which meant they had to study hard to achieve well on them. The cost for changing study habits usually meant giving up something that they liked to do, such as watching television, playing with friends, or just going out. But it paid off When they received good grades at semester. It was hard making the switch to junior high. I had a lot of tests and other things that I needed to study for and I had to change a lot of hab- its, said Reed McBride. One might not have thought that study habits were important, but they were if they helped a stu- dent make good grades.

Each new one displayed different feelings. Nicknames held within them hidden meanings toward a person's appearance, personality, or some- thing that may have happened in the past, Coach Mac gave me the nick- name baby Gibby. I guess that's be- cause I have an older sister. Most of times it's okay, but at others, it gets on my nerves, said Laurie Gibbs. Nicknames were usually regar- ded as being cute or sweet but some seventh graders had different views about nicknames. I think nicknames are idiotic and uncalled for. Take mine, for ex- ample. I have a lot of nicknames, and I don't like a lot of them, said Carlos Turner. Some nicknames weren't appre- ciated because of the thought behind them. These were often obtained be- cause of embarrassing events that happened in the past, but sometimes the people do not want anyone to know about that so they do not ap- prove of the nicknames.

Older brothers and sisters may have been thought of as real pains, but life without them would have left people with no one to blame things on, no one to tell on, and no one to share the work around the house like mowing the lawn, cleaning up around the house, and taking out the trash. Big brothers or sisters may have been pains sometimes, but they were a fact of life. Some were not so bad. My older sister is a pain. Some- times she acts real strange, but she is my sister, said Coby Smith. Since Oak Grove is a school that has students from seventh through twelfth grades, seventh graders were able to see their older brother or sister a lot during the school day. This could have been good or bad, de- pending on their feelings toward each other. X.

Of course, Mr. Green had to re- ceive his orders from somewhere. The school board saw to it that each school in the district ran smoothly and as problem free as possible. With Mr. Charles Stratton act- ing as president of the board, the members made decisions every day concerning all the county schools. Their job at times became quite diffi- cult because of the desire to do what was best for students. With all this help, one might be led to believe that Mr. Green's job was just one in the neverending chain of command.

At this time most of us were in diapers and others had not been born. But also in that year, teachers were starting their careers at Oak Grove High School. These teachers Were Coach Bobby Tiner and Mrs. Colleen Mays. Other teachers were here before 1971: Mrs. Lavonne Henderson who has been here since 1956, and Mrs. Mary Catherine Denis who has been here since 1960. In the past years, Mrs. Henderson has participated in a Faculty Fashion Show, Talent Show, and helped in preparing for basketball games. When asked why she has taught here for so long, Mrs. Henderson replied, The school board assigned me here, and I've never had any problems, and I like it. I remember when the senior prom was held in the cafeteria, and there Was a dance and a banquet. Mrs. Henderson also sponsored the Honor Society. An important fact of consolida- tion may affect these teachers. Due to consolidation, not only will chil- dren be bused to different schools, but teachers will also be transferred. Knowing that his seniority would probably keep him at OG, Mr. Floyd Dunn said, Since a final decision has not been handed down I really can't comment, but I don't think consolidation or Judge Woods is fair, and I would hate to leave Oak Grove. Mr. Dunn is the sponsor of the Student Government and has participated in the Faculty Gong Show. Many realize the dedication of these teachers who will always be a part of Oak Grove tradition. on 5 Formulas, equations, and factoring are all a part of Mrs. Lavonne l'lenclerson's teachings. She has patience with a frustrated class as she tries to give an explanation for a problem, as she has done for many years.

Community sup- port is vital to put out the book. H f-ids 'Zan Nervously fingering her information sheets and ad agreements, the well-dressed teenage girl stepped into the dark, humid garage. The only figure she made out was that of a man in work clothes busily work- ing on an old automobile engine. She stood for several minutes and debated whether to sneak away unnoticed or boldly catch the man's attention. Just as the girl was ready to turn around, the man looked up and smiled reassuringly. Taking courage from his friendliness, the girl began her prac- ticed sales pitch. She was selling ads for the yearbook. The man smiled again, wiped his greasy hands, and began to search for his checkbook. Same as last year, was all he said. There was a flurry of forms and the out-of-place teenager breathed a sigh of re- lief as the transaction ended. She left with an excited Thank you! and a smile.

Many times these businesses bought an ad from both the yearbook and the monthly newspaper. Some businesses would insist that they bought a yearbook ad from us when they had really bought a newspaper ad. It was confusing and frustrating, but they usually bought one from us once everything got straightened out, yearbook staff member Holly John- ston explained. Many times these sales people were a little less than organized, yet the community accepted the shortcomings wonderfully. There's no turning back to repair those confused sales pitches and misplaced ad agreements. The yearbook staff obviously was not perfect, but the patrons gave overwhelming support through it all.

Long or short, bald or shaggy they were as different as night and day. What was this? Hairstyles, of course. Everyone wore what he liked. Some stayed conser- vative, and others went totally wild. Who could forget the Boz ? Some wore it because everyone else did, I just wanted a change, com- mented J ay Telfer. I wanted some- thing different from everyone else. The cut consisted of shaving bald above the ears and cutting the top very short. The style originated from Brian Bosworth, the football player from Oklahoma. The spike stayed alive even though other styles died. It may have been one of those styles no one could forget. Overall, most people stayed kind of conservative. My mom said if I got my hair cut weird, she would shave me bald, said Shane Steel- man when asked why he didn't wear one of the Wilder hair cuts. People wore what they wanted, and no one had to worry about being laughed at later. Free and wild or just permed and feathered - every- one had to decide what he wanted to wear. The 'Boznis one of the many new hairslyles sported one of the variations that appeared during the fall. on campus.

YOU- LEVY Mom, David, and Michael OFFICE: ,753-3411 82 Hd A NEW STYLE She woke up at 7:00 AM and ran to her closet. No jeans were clean. Where was her mom? Running into the laundry room, she spotted a pair of pants with gravy on the leg. What was she going to wear? Finally she decided to wear her new dress. Wor- ried about what everyone would think, she went to school only to re- alize that other people were dressed up too. Campus life was alive with dressed up people. Lots of students shook the urge to wear jeans and a shirt. I would wear a dress every- day, but it just gets too cold, com- mented Heather Bentley. Vlfhether it was stirrup pants like Laura Hav- e.ns's or sweater dresses like Shan- non Keeler's more people decided to dress up. Girls wore watches that match- ed outfits. They also wore strands of pearls in all colors. Jewelry, big and shiny, like Christy Moreland wore was seen in the stylish places around campus. The watch or beads didn't have to match the dress, it was accepted to clash or match. Guys got into the act with sports jackets and slacks. People like Len- ny Vlfhiteman and Andrew McLe- more often had a polished look. Jarrod Davis was seen in a tie two or three times a week. Sweaters were a hot item. Mark Moix gave his opin- ion on why he wore sweaters, To keep warm, he said. No, really I just like the style, and I like having something besides long-sleeved shirts or a sweatshirt to wear. Ox- fords could still be seen around cam- pus, especially the Polo collec- tion. Students all wanted to stand out in the crowd, and they did. Whether it was in ruffles or lace, pretty or pink, people wore snazzy clothes and enjoyed them. The look of Wende Mosley's, Leslie 0sburn's, and Heather Benlley's longer skirts len! a fashionable air to the campus. ...t iii .f i.i. -- .Q ff V .Z 15 Morgan Shell Supersiop at the Morgan Exit We have everything!

Most importantly, we want to thank Eudy for her unfailing sense of humor, her tolerance in allowing us to create such an un- usual book, her home with its steady supply of food, and her will- ingness to help out whenever nec- essary. We would like the staff to know that despite their initial in- experience, we are proud and ap- preciative of the quality work they produced. Their enthusiasm kept us from going off the deep end! Special thanks to Gale and Amy for all the pictures they printed time and time again. Thanks also to Robyn for keeping everything organized. We would especially like to thank our families for being so un- derstanding during deadlines. They managed to love and support us even though they never quite understood why it all meant so much. Even though we were warned by eni and Charise, none of us imagined the problems that would arise in the production of the 1987 HORNET. Between problems with communications, problems with the darkroom, and the loss of in- formation that was due at the plant yesterday, the problems nev- er seemed to end. But when the proofs came back, and we saw the results of our work, the problems seemed minor in comparison. Through it all, we are satisfied with the book we have produced. We hope that you will find it as en- joyable as we intend it to be. . Bawn Drennan Laura Vifhitworth ' Amber Pate C'Do you think that covers it all?

Whether bounc- ing back from a dis- appointing season or hoping to repeat a state championship, students looked ahead rather than dwelling on past glo- ries and defeats. The Mock Trial team began prepara- tions on their new case in an attempt to hold their state cham- pionship title. The 1986 Hornet won national acclaim by receiving Medalist honors, placing it in the top ten percent of all yearbooks. With- in four years our book has gone from win- ning nothing to being rated one step higher than first place, said adviser Mrs. Marilyn Eudy. As a result of this, she was invited to address a group of Columbia Scholastic Press Association in New York City. The junior boys bas- ketball team reboun- ded from a winless regular season to win the first game of the county tournament, thus providing en- couragement for next year's team. Our re- cord didn't reflect our season, we had the spirit, but we just couldn't get that win until the tourna- ment, said T-Ray Rester. The consolidation issue united students, parents, and faculty as they fought for neighborhood schools. The thought of sepa- ration from friends drove students to pro- test. Several meetings regarding student as- signments, held in Maumelle and Oak Grove, drew packed houses. The major concerns were which grades would be af- fected and how many students would be in- volved. But regardless ofthe future, students cherished the experi- ences they shared at OG. Ccont.J ,am Closing Friends are what make any occasion special. Helping LaNae Jackson cel- ebrate her eighteenth birthday are Elaine Wilson, David Kersey, Laura Havens, Tom Melson, and Scott Pro- cell. The surprise party was kept such a good secret that LaNae cried when she arrived. For the seniors, it was reaching a year of decision-making from which their lives would be determined, and with many choices there would be no turning back. For many graduation was the culmination of twelve years of secondary education that was to take them directly into the Work world. For others it was merely the first step in the opportunity to gain a degree in a desired field. ' Birthdays were special occasions in every year, but turn- ing eighteen, as most seniors do, put a new perspective on life. Registering for selective service, voting in elections, and being held legally responsible as an adult instead of a juvenile be- came realities from which there was no return. It was a time for making priorities and deciding what was to be accom- plished in the crucial years ahead. Although the year had its uncertainties and disappoint- ments, graduation and the fact OG had remained intact for an- other productive year created an ironic blend of relief and anxi- ety.
