With these friendships came the desire to do things that would not only be fun and entertain- ing, but would also bring people together. Students found many ways to pull relationships together through various activities and fads. When school first started, the main activity was going to football games to cheer on and support the team. It was during this time that Oakies also dug out their overalls to wear on Northmen's Day to show how much school spirit they had. Cowboy hats were also a symbol of friendship. When many Northmen put on cowboy hats, it was a way of showing that they were ready to break loose and have fun. Throughout the year, there were hundreds of ways that students livened up relationships whether it was attending sporting events or making trips to places like Bill Cody's or Zipper's. As the seasons changed and spirits soared and faded, the things that brought people together changed, but friendships stayed strong and so did the memories that filled every one of the places Oakies went and the things they did with their friends - the things that brought them together. hings that DTC c-lug ii,,....1-.i 1 Q1.i1T-1 f -ill Mr. and ll Above, a fa large crowc and people vi Ill- , m , , , ,y n Making time, taking time - JC0, beiuff ,,.....11..i, ..11. ls., Z - f Q., Qnvf w ' f Above, Brenda Ireland gets down to nature with her camera.

In 1980 this phrase was true to life for many Oakies. When the end of a busy day came, some spent lazy afternoons doing what they liked best. The activities ranged from a playful day in the park to settling in with a good book on a rainy afternoon or a host of other individual activities. For the people who found that long afternoons in the hot sun were just too much, tanning salons offered a remedy to their problem. Rainy afternoons set the mood and invited individuals to stay in with a good book or catch up on homework, or that favorite activity - research paper. Whatever the hobbies were, a majority of Oakies made time for earning a little spending money. These extras were spent on a variety of recreations, but there was nothing like an all-around shopping extravaganza to make leisure hours pass with pleasure. For the Northmen who found their own talents to be just as appealing, the photography craze was on. Whether students spent hours just gaining more experience in shooting or widening their scope in the photography field, photo- graphy as a hobby was self-rewarding. Oakies found they did not always need a group to have fun. Besides, it was easier to be the center of attention when you were by yourself.

Light-hearted movies such as 10, Little Darlings, and The Jerk were good for spending a relaxing evening with someone good to relax with. Movies with heroes were popular, but choosing those heroes was not easy. A woman leaves her husband and young son. Can she and the man she left both be heroes? Kramer vs. Kramer proved that they could. In years past, a horse thief was considered a villain, but in The Electric Horseman , Robert Redford was wor- shipped not only by Jane Fonda, but by the audience as well. Though the heroes tried hard, villains came out on top a few times too. The villain took an unusual form as Joe Gideon bravely fought off death in the musical All That jazz . At home, audiences had a villain they could really sink their teeth into. J.R. Ewing was cheating everyone including his wife and family. A bad guy somewhat closer to the heart was Boss Hog from The Dukes of Hazard . It just goes to show, the worst kind of villains are the ones that win. 19 9-80 - , a ff wi' if 9 . 46 75715 if YAQ Above, Western Characters showed a big come back in movies and on T.V.

Zoo. ang-out was a favorite term used by teenagers to describe their favorite place to go for entertainment or just to get away from it all. For Oak Park students, it meant a variety of ways to do your own thing. For the big spenders of the communi- ty, a night on the Plaza taking in a movie, shopping, or eating at a name restaurant became the in-thing to do. The sports fans cashed in by cheering at Royal's or Chief's games, and at King's games at Kemper Arena. If the mood was set for excitement and laughs, fun-loving students sought World's of Fun for entertainment. On the lighter side of one's wallet came the freebies or near-freebies such as, haunted housing, going to the zoo, or relaxing at a park. When the weather permitted, many Oakies were often seen in Loose Park or Oak Grove Park having a picnic or weinie-roast, playing frisbee, touch football, softball, or just lounging around. As summer drew near, many students could be seen basking in the sun's rays. The favorite hang-out was definitely Gladstone Pool where North- men could get a great mid-western tan and visit with friends. af,.rli.E.1.a....iLL5B.f,..J. - aff H4- akies go for the 1 i........- l.1.

Backgammon was the most popular thing since Farrah. 1' 4 M if r ,fi L b 'ik Q r Relaxation proved more strenuous to the fingers than the mind. .fy s many Oak Park students sat within the four walls of a classroom either listening to teachers lecture or pondering over test questions, their minds frequently wandered from thoughts of school to life outside of school and what could be done for recreation. Many students found the answer inside the confines of school. One senior commented that playing backgammon was a way of relaxing between classes. But many found the answer to, Is there life outside school? , to be yes, about six-hundred miles away, as the more fortunate Oakies packed up their bags and headed to Colorado for ski trips during various vacation times. There was also a variety of things to do closer to home. Rollerskating and skateboarding were popular past-times for some, and for others, frequent trips to racquetball clubs became favorite ways to spend leisure time. As the minds that drifted away from schoolwork drifted back, it could be said that, yes, life did exist outside the four walls of high school, and some type of recreation could be found for everyone. THATS LIFE 16-17 Two is company and three is a crowd at the drive-in movie. isces aren t you? No, I m a Scorpio, get lost. How many times was this exchange or one similar to it used in 1980? From the standpoint of many students, far too often. But people were not so caught up in the dating aspects of their high school year in 1980. Many students preferred going places in large groups rather than on a one to one basis. Some activities included visits to the Country Club Plaza, where horse-drawn rides were an added attraction. Swenson's Ice Cream Parlor served Oakies two scoops. Some people enjoyed walks and shopping adventures through Seville Square. These enchanting places encouraged what little dating did take place. Inexpensive dating consisted of par- ties and get-togethers where games included backgammon, Twister, and everyone's favorite Monopoly. A countless number of students spent their Saturday evenings at Kansas discoteques, where they usually came single and wandered among the crowd to make several acquaintances. As one student commented, I can go dance and be myself without worrying about what other people are thinking. Overall, everyone just enjoyed dating around and not having commitments.

And change everybody did, at every level of North Kansas City education. Changes that greeted students in 1979-80 included classes fifteen minutes earlier, and the Business Theme School, located at Oak Park. Another positive addition to the district's curriculum was the Advanced College Credit Program in which students earned credit for both high school and college. Major changes implemented by the board of education and the administrative team and facing the entire district were the initiation of plans for the middle schools, preparing for freshmen in the high schools and the closing of elementary schools. Dr. Waier felt that changes were appropriate for continuity with other school districts and necessary with the district's declining enrollment. Getting started was the hardest part and meeting with the public was the easiest part, because Waier said, They were supportive and felt a change was needed also.

This was the way Dr. Larry Cornine, vice-principal, ration- alized the changes made at Oak Park for the 79-80 school year. Many of the changes were obvious, but some were subtle and went almost unnoticed. One of the big changes students noticed from the startwas the 7:45 a.m. starting time. That short 15 minutes did make a difference, evidenced by the increased number of late arrivals. Two major curriculum changes were the introduction of the Business Theme School and the Advanced College Credit Program. The Business Theme School had trouble getting started because not all of the equipment ordered arrived at the beginning of school and, according to Mr. Bob West, vice-principal, there was an imbalance in the number of students from three district high schools. The ACCP had very few flaws throughout the year, except for a brief uncertainty over the transferring of the college credit. A virtually unnoticed change which took place for the district and Oak Park was the new computer system for scheduling described by Mr. West as, very competent. ,. f'j v ' My.

The answer varied from day to day as head cook Mrs. Louise Koerber and her fourteen full-time cooks worked to make nourising lunches. The addition of the salad bar gave Northmen a chance to create their own salad. The success of the salad bar was great at the beginning of the year, but slacked off to about 40-50 people using it daily as the year progressed, said Mrs. Koerber. Least favorite lunches served this year were fried chicken, chili, and spaghetti. But on the other hand, Northmen flocked the lunch line when their favorites, ham and cheese rollups, pizza, and chee- seburgers were being served. As with the cooks, Jim Lawrence and the twelve janitors also played a major part in the well-being of Oak Park. The work was never done for the janitors as they spent twenty-four hours, six days a week working on a variety of jobs. Among them were: keeping the grounds maintained, mowing, shoveling snow, and sweeping the entire building. PLATE ROLL UP Louise Koerber posts the menu for the following day. Hllsll! SALAD!

The NKC district's philosophy of required classes is that they should help students learn the basics Creading, writing, and historyj. After the basics, it was up to students as to what classes they take. The state requires, for graduation, two English credits, two history, one physical education, one fine arts, one math, one science, and one practical arts. Oak Park required sophomores to take English and World Cultures, and juniors, American History. A major result of Oak Park's back to basics approach was Sophomore English, which prepared students for the Language Arts Proficiency Test. Of the approximate- ly six-hundred sophomores, four-hundred and sixty passed the LAPT, and one- hundred and thirty-five failed. In sheer numbers C150-35 it was evident that electives were a major part of Oak Park. w. f-,-,aw A sophomore readies himself for the LAPT test, 1 .,..,A-......-1 'fs Above required classes depend on attendance.

Whether the individual student preferred sticking to the basics, or the Hsoftl' classes, every Oakie was able to schedule and mold his future time at Oak Park. A wide variety of optional classes were available to Oak Park students. For present enjoyment and use, pupils could take such classes as: Mixed Chorus, Co.-Ed. foods, Books to Think By, Child Development, or even Beginning Guitar. Some elective classes that had a long term use were: Foreign Languages, Date Processing, You and the Law, and American Heritage, just to name a few.

The answer: Health Occupations and Coopera- tive Occupational Education. Sixteen Northmen traveled to North Kansas City High School for three hours each day to gain knowledge and experience in the Health Occupations field. Students studied the cardiac system, blood pressure, and many other aspects of the human body. They also researched forty Health Occupation related careers as well as the schooling needed, benefits, and earnings. Like Health Occupations, COE gave students a chance to gain knowledge of the working world while still in school. Trades and industry, office work, and distributive occupations were the major areas the one-hundred and ninety students worked in. The COE class involved not only work related material, but also practical areas like taxes. rf . , A f 4,3 ,.

Following the adage of psychologist William James two special Oak Park classes forced students into a pattern of examining themselves, their relationships, their lives. Mr. joe DeGrado, Intimate Communica- tions teacher explained, The main reason students enrolled in my class was their growing desire to know themselves better. Mr. DeGrado's approach to exploring the self involved the question, if you were to meet yourself, would you like yourself? He tried to help the student understand his own feelings and recognize the parent within himself. In contrast to Intimate Communications, another class that dealt with the mind, Psychology, was taught by Mr. Leonard Thompson. Mr. Thompson said, Most students enrolled in my course just for the fun of it. Mr. Thompson's program consisted of personality tests, adjustment inventories, and transactional analysis. He stated that he wanted his students to leave his class with the concept of knowing themselves and loving themselves better. . 34: I QA. R Q. .

CURRICULUM 34-35 hotocomposer, transcribing, reprogra- phics, off-set printing press, 401 typewriters, 425 word processor, UDS 2000 and remote terminals. These unusual terms became a familiar part of Business Theme School students' working day at Oak Park. 1979-80 was the first year a program like this was available, and Oak Park was the only high school to offer courses like this in Missouri. Students from Winneton- ka and North Kansas City were also able to take part in this district-wide course. Five sections made up Business Theme School: Advanced Business and Office Education, Data Entry and Ma- chine Operation, Cobal Programming, RPGII Programming, and Fortran Pro- gramming. Each one concentrated on a different area of business. Advanced Business and Office Educa- tion trained students in the use of word processing equipment and the photocom- poser. These machines were expensiveg some costing up to S15,000. Data Entry and Machine Operation dealt with microcomputers and UDS 2000 equipment, data entry, and keypunch. The other three areas concentrated on various levels of data processing. The Photocomposer welcomes students into the classroom. 1. . . Q-.MWA ,, Above, Mary Fisher audits figures.

Below, Ms. Rita Vonn and Steve McIntyre toast the grapes of reading and writing. ixty-four Northmen Seniors got a taste of college life early as they took part in college credit classes offered at Oak Park from four area colleges, Maple Woods, UMKC, Rockhurst, and NWMSU. Along with Gak Park, Winnetonka and North Kansas City also offered college credit classes. Since 1979-80 was the first year classes of this kind were offered, most students were accepted, with the exception of Rhetorics and Reading where a written essay was required. One major advantage in taking college courses was the reduced rate in price per semester hour. The prices ranged from S59 per semester hour to S13. The only problem arising in these classes was that M.U. refused to accept a credit if it was being used as a high school credit for graduation, but changed their decision since students had an actual ga Jw ,G 4 wld on college Linda Salsbury Larry Settle Dorothy Smith SCVEUC6 Social Studies Media Specialist college transcript.

Mark Wonderly and Pamm Thomas experiment in chemistry CURRICULUM 38-39 eja Vu-the feeling of experiencing something again. A term that can be applied to curriculum at Gak Park. A feeling that arises from changes. A graduate from the Class of '74 would have noticed a lot of changes in scheduling and in requirements. With the push back to basics, more classes were required, and the electives reflected the three r's, reading, writing, and 'rithmatic. That '74 graduate would also notice that modular scheduling was not modular scheduling. What was once a schedule to allow maximum free time for studies, was now designed to keep the number of unscheduled people to a minimum. However, a graduate from the Class of l65 would have seen less structure than he did before. He would see a lounge, a smoking area, people with classes only four days a week, and mini-courses only a semester long. These semester classes, along with the business theme school and Health Occupations allowed either lots of variety, or lots of specialization. Oak Park has come a long way in fifteen years - almost a circular journey.

Sounds like a leading question, but in 1980, there was less free time to be had, and fewer places to have it. The administration felt that overcrowding of centers and perpetual problems in the lounge necessitated the elimination of free single mods. The changes meant hour long classes meeting four days a week. The three consecutive off mods on the fifth day were designed as study hall periods, a time for study, to meet with teachers, or take advantage of the resource centers. Among other things, the administration felt that students were voting no to modular scheduling by leaving trash on the floor, smoking, and vandalizing the center. The year began on what proved to be the lowpointg two chairs were burned. The SSRC and the ERC joined together this year to provide text books and novels, while the PARC remained as it had been. The Media Center and A.V. were there for students needing a book, magazine, or just to relax awhile with some music. . 1f ' Cora Wright Lori Zabler Donna Zaiger Business Ed.

Everybody hears about it, athletes live it, but who cleans up after those victories and defeats? Who saw that the fields of battle were ready for the competitors? Managers, that's who. Oak Park's sports managers often went unnoticed as they did their daily and nightly chores, seeing that practice sessions were equipped with necessities as well as making sure Oakie athletes were well supplied with atomic bomb and ace bandages. Game days revealed managers stocking up the doctor's kit and checking off the list of essentials. Kathy Schwartzbauer, football man- ager, was often seen at every football game getting water to the players, cutting tape for bandages, running the kicking-T out on the field for kick offs, and taking care of the game and practice balls. But the hardest part of being a manager according to Tim Norton, basketball manager, was keeping things in order and making sure people don't steal. After all the equipment was checked and double checked, after cutting thousands of feet of tape, after doling out enough atomic bomb to heat a whole stadium of pulled muscles, there were the managers. The last to leave. Perhaps replaying the day's contest in the mind. SPORTS 46-47 T Walke and Coach Crews discuss the game plan. ak Park is traditionally a football powerhouse and the 1979 season carried on the fifteen years of success. Although the Oakies final record was 6-4, the four losses were by a total of only 17 points. The Northmen capped the season by grabbing a share of the Big Six Title along with Raytown South and Winneton- ka. In kicking off the season, the Oakies suffered two tough losses on the road. In the opening game with Grandview, the city's top team in pre-season polls, the Bulldogs recovered an Oak Park fumble deep in Oakie territory and scored the only touchdown of the game. After the 0-6 loss, Shawnee Mission South took their toll the next week in an overtime brawl. The battling Northmen found their only touchdown in a five yard slant pass from quarterback Tom Walker to Chris Wallis. Although Oak Park's brick wall defense held the Raiders to less than 100 yards total offense, they could not stop them in sudden death and the Oakies were left on the short end of a 7-10 final score. The next week offered reward to the Oakies in a 6-0 victory over Hickman Mills. The defense gave its third outstanding performance. The only score of the contest was a 21 yard pass from Walker to Larry Gonner. Defense C31 iv, Dave Davis, below, anticipates a block while jot Rogers and Dave Branstetter set up to kick for extrr points.

Gnffms capi talize in last 1:28 of game he Raytown South contest brought the Oakies home for the first time and in a big way. The opportunistic squad rallied in the second half to stun Ray South 16-7. Once again Walker went to the air and hit both Wallis and Jerry Shapiro with scoring passes. Oak Park's offense exploded the next week for a 36-7 Victory at Blue Springs, Oak Park's first non-ranked opponent. The Oakies jumped to a quick lead when Walker hit Wallis with a 54 yard pass and Mike Reynolds returned a punt for 65 yards to score. Dave Branstetter added a touchdown to his four extra points while Jay Fohey supplied two touchdowns and Bill Briggs scored on a two point conversion. The Oakies winning streak was brought to a halt the next week in a match with Winnetonka. Walker went in from 15 to get the Oakies on the board and maintained the lead until 1:28 was left in the game. The Griffins capitalized on an Oakie fumble and won the game 8-7. 5 Left, Vii Tom Sar Right, a . -.- ,r fx ? ,wfwy v ,wha 2,, fwf ff., f Q41 Q! 4, . .,f- ,wyfy X -fax'vf wavy? ,, , , X f .fyn. pwfw O 'Q2ff4 ,f,Qg 'gf X, , v Zi? ,gy L 74 1 4?

After a scoreless first half of the homecoming game, the Hornets capitalized on a blocked punt and eventually scored. The next two games brought the Northmen out of their slump with victories over both Truman and Lee's Summit. Against Truman, Mike Schorer returned an interception 47 yards for a touchdown and Walker lofted a 67 yard scoring pass to Shapiro. After Briggs ran in a touchdown, the final score favored Oak Park, 23-14. At Lee's Summit, the Oakies complete- ly dominated the game, 37-6. Briggs, Kelly Lynn and Loren Hadley scored as well as Fohey with two touchdowns. Steve Carmack and Briggs led the stubborn Oak Park defense that allowed only four yards rushing and 57 total yards. The Oakies capped the '79 season conquering Park Hill, 9-7. The Oakie defense once again prevailed making breaks for the offense. The Northmen's scoring attack began with a field goal by Branstetter late in the first quarter. Then, after Briggs recovered a fumble, Walker and Tom Sanford teamed up for a 79 yard scoring pass. 1 SPORTS 52-53 Coach Linda Jones gives a point of strategy. ig Six volleyball proved to be extremely balanced during the 1979 season. Winnetonka won the conference with an 8-2 record while Oak Park, Truman and Raytown South tied for second at 7-3. The Oakie girls continued the Oak Park tradition of competitive volleyball which had landed them into four straight state tournaments. However, the sister schools showed marked improvement making the conference race more competitive than ever. Lack of varsity experience was a contributing factor to the slow start for the Oakies, according to coach Linda Jones. Stephanie Lees, team captain, was the only returning starter, with Stephanie Mullins having started from mid-season on last year's team. This lack of experience coupled with the non-aggressive personali- ties of this year's team proved to be a challenge Oak Park had to overcome. Coach Jones said what helped the team overcome their shortcomings was a great attitude, working extremely well as a team, and a tremendous amount of team pride. Their failure to give up contributed to their strong season record of 18-6 and winning 13 out of their final 15 matches. akies set ,, , D.--- ' ggi.,--1 Sis, f im ,J anew! ww 5 Connie He volleyball Henning, w I i 2 -v-. - ,. as set up Winning season I l .- e- 7 1i ,-- X J , f 2 i is , ff 'f a gf Z Q ye 5 i 3 'D we -fa I Q .4- 5 Connie Henning spikes the ball.

Win over 'tonka fires Oakie season oach Jones felt the low point of the season was the loss to Hickman Mills in the Center Tournament eight games into the season. The turning point of the season followed with three straight conference wins. The Oakies downed Blue Springs, 15-4, 15-6 before overcoming the powerful Truman Patriots in a three game match, 9-15, 15-4, 15-9. Oak Park continued their victory march by defeating Winnetonka on the Griffin's home court 9-15, 15-10, 15-12 in an exciting power struggle. The highpoint of the season was the Truman Tournament in which the Oakies devastated top-seeded St. Mary's 15-9, 15-4 and went on to take second place in the tournament, being defeated by Truman in the finals, 13-15, 5-15. The Northmen defeated a spirited Park Hill team in the final match of the District Tournament. In the first game, the Oakies lacked aggressiveness while the Trojans played flawless ball coupled with a determined defense to win 12-15. Oak Park came back fired up to take the next two games 15-4, 15-4 to capture the District title and a spot in the Outstate Regional.

In the state quarter final, the Truman team gave the Oakies more than they could handle. Combining stubborn defense with in- timidating offense, Truman downed Oak Park 15-10, 15-12. The Oakie girls made a spectacular comeback after being down 11-2 but, the future state champions made the plays they needed to win. 'Tve never been more proud of any team than I am this one. The team had to work hard for it. They had a lot to learn because they were young, said coach jones. The strong '79 season helped several Oakies on post season teams.

C C t's the best team I've ever had. We had the best record, and we beat more teams, and had the best times we ever had, said coach Bob Busby reflecting on the 1979 cross country season. In the District Meet, four harriers qualified for the regional, including Andy Cravens, Pat Hamilton, Mel Taylor and Todd Warner. Senior Andy Cravens advanced to the state meet where he captured a twenty-ninth finish. Andy's 13:57 time was an example of what coach Busby described as Andy's Uconsistancy all year. Along with Andy, another harrier turned in a shinning season. According to Busby, Mel Taylor consistently improved benefitting the '79 team and will hopefully bolster the '80 team. Success followed the Oakie runners all through the conference meet where five harriers finished below 13:30 for 2.5 miles. Previously, only two runners had matched that time in a single meet. The cross country's successful season was a fitting end to coach Bob Busby's career at Oak Park. The outstanding runner means to further his education by working toward his doctorate in mathema- tics and eventually teach at the college level. Though he will miss Oak Park and its cross country program, Busby felt it's time to move on. ak ark crc '-,..f-1 ' - . EVY RY Coach Bob Busby smiles at another victory. Below.

This is how coach Nancy Hudson viewed the tennis team in kicking off the season. As the matches wore on, this prediction became a reality for the Oakies who ended the regular season at 10-3 and took second in the conference with a 6-2 record. Mrs. Hudson felt the team played consistantly strong throughout the season. They were forced to do so because of the tougher conference this year. A major triumph for the Oakies was capturing the conference tournament while a major disappointment was falling to Winnetonka in a close 3-4 match to lose the conference title. Despite this, Mrs. Hudson felt the team Went undiscouraged from the loss and finished the season strong, Teresa Daily capped the season by taking third in district finals. Individually, the team's overall talent consistantly improved. Teresa had an excellent year having improved substan- tially over 1978, while Terrie Handley really developed in the few short months of the season. Hudson added, In fact the entire team improved. They were easy to coach. The 1979 letterpeople include Teresa Daily, Terrie Handley, Tami Baynham, Sherrie Carnes and Maureen Higgins. Earning provisional letters were Helen Crump and Sharon Snowden.

As the Oak Park fans became frenzied, Northtown's shooting grew colder and the Northmen pulled ahead to their victory. Before the Oakies faced the Hornets in the finals, they fought past Truman 79-69 and knocked off the city's third ranked team Rockhurst, 56-51. Against Truman, Greg Biery led with 22 points while Dave Demeyer and Chris Wallis each had 20 points.

Central the close games and that built up their confidence. One draw-back the team faced was in heighth. Draper felt, Although We were small in size, Oak Park played bigger than ever. One of those big players was Dave DeMeyer. In a lost battle for the conference championship against Ray- town South, DeMeyer broke an elated home crowd. His new record stands at 973. Past season teams found Demeyer and Chris Wallis on the All-Conference team. Demeyer was also selected first team All-Northland while Wallis and Greg Biery were second team. At the banquet, DeMeyer was named most valuable player, co-captain, Mr. Basketball and had the best free throw percentage. Wallis was co-captain and had the most rebounds. Lo Reins h looks for an outlet to complete a pass. n improved record and an influx of undergraduate talent characterized the 1979-80 as a transitional year in girls basketball at Oak Park. In an improving program, the record of 6-17 shows more success than in previous years. Coach jim Hughes feels, The record is not a fair reflection on the ability of the team as a whole. He went on to say, There were a number of games where the girls did very well, but couldn't pull ahead. As the season got underway, the Oakies had a tough time getting started loosing the first few games, but then they met North Kansas City. The first win of the year was by a 54-45 score. Sophomore Tammy Noah led the attack with 17 points while Jamie Draper and Kathy Cummins both contributed 10 points. As the season wore on, the Oakies had their highs and lows. In paralleling boys' basketball, one high point was at the North Kansas City Tournament in the middle of the season. According to Hughes, This is when the team reached consistency. Each girl played well throughout the game making each area of play strong. The girls captured second place after losing to Park Hill in the finals. iv! ,F 4, QQ' wi Q q . ,y:,.z' Yi I . if ff , 1 Z!

It's been a growing year and skills have improved Coach Hughes nother big win was in a second confrontation with Winnetonka. As the Oakie girls outrebounded the Griffins 44-22, they also outscored them 47-43. Noah, Connie Henning and Ramona Riley led on the boards while Noah and Draper led in scoring. In reflecting on the season, Hughes felt, It has been a growing year and I think our skill level has improved. These girls will be returning next year and it will make us a better team. Lori Reinsch and Jamie Draper are two juniors who improved and sophomores Noah and Rhonda Claytor are very promising. This year Noah led most all statistics and acquired valuable varsity experience. The junior varsity squad fared fairly well this year with a 7-8 record. Coach Steve McArthur feels the girls really polished their skills to contribute next year. Post season honors found Tammy Noah as an All-Conference selection while All-Northland was well rounded with Oakies. Noah received first team, jamie Draper was second team and Connie Henning was honorable mention. Troy B e e prepares for a fall. teeped in winning tradition, the 1979-80 wrestling squad found it difficult maintaining their legacy. Complet- ing the season at 3-17-1, Coach Gary O'Dell attributes the record to inexperience. After a slow beginning, the Oakie grapplers found their first victory over Platte City, 39-27. Contributing to this win with pins were 98 lb. jeff Goodwin, 119 lb. Ed Biachina and 132 lb. Shawn Stetson. The Oakies found another bright spot in the 37-25 victory over Ruskin. Pins from 126 lb. Duane Brucker and 185 lb. Jay Fohey helped knock the Eagles off the top ten ratings. As the season progressed, several consistent wrestlers emerged. Troy Brewer led the squad with a 19-5 record. Dan Beach at 167 lbs. followed with a 13-5 record. The third win was in a thrilling 32-28 decision against Raytown South. The Oak grapplers won eight of the 13 matches in the dual meet. Daved Davenport battled for a pin as well as Brewer who pinned his man in the third period. john Davis won with an 8-3 decision and Stetson won with a 24-5 decision.

In a meet against Winnetonka, the Northmen lost 25-32 despite a last minute rally by the upper weights. Beach won with a major decision, Brewer won with a pin, Neprud pinned his man and Jay Fohey won with a decision. In reflection on the season, assistant Coach Darrel Bland said, It's hard to pin point what our problems were. I think it may be a lack of experience and aggressiveness. Most of our guys were young and scrappy and have real potentialf' To cap the season, several Oakies fared fairly well in the district tournament. Wrestling at 167, Beach came from behind to decision his Center opponent, 7-6, on a takedown with 18 seconds left in the match. Brewer also did well by pinning his opponent with 36 seconds left in the match. Both of these finishes qualified these two Oakies for state. Although Brewer made it past his first round competition, he lost in the second round. Beach failed to win his first match. At the wrestling banquet, jay Fohey was awarded Mr. Wrestler. SPORTS 76-77 Damian Valline and Chris Wallis relax between events. espite the Northmen's accomplish- ments in indoor track, next year's Oakie tracksters will not have an indoor season. The final decision to cancel the sport was made by the State High School Athletic Association which opted to cancel indoor track in favor of extending football playoffs. In the district meet Todd Warner clinched first in the 800 meter run with a time of 1259.3-the best showing in the Kansas City area. Others who had a good showing were: Tom Kozikin the long jump, Chris Wallis in the high jump, Larry Gonner in the pole vault, and Andy Cravens in the 3200 meter race. The girls were also successful in district with Ramona Reily taking first in the 55 meter race, Damian Valline winning the 400 meter run, and Jan Hawk who high jumped 5'5 for another record. Northmen tracksters who qualified for state were: Judy Cole, Andy Cravens, Larry Gonner, jan Hawk, Tom Koziki, Tom Leach, Ramona Reily, jerry Shapiro, Todd Sherpy, Chris Wallis, Todd Warner, and Damian Valline. Warner, competing in the 800 meter run earned sixth place, while jerry Shapiro took fifth in the high hurdles and Ramona Reily brought home third in the 55 meter dash.

A 5'6Ma jump was her ticket to the title. Individual efforts paid off for Oak Park as a team, too, as they captured both conference and district. In dual and triangular meets, Oak Park defeated every team they competed against, with the exception of Winnetonka, a tri-meet winner by one point. Some of the victories were: Oak Park 6910, Lees Summit 49103 Oak Park 70, Truman 50, and Oak Park 71, Blue Springs 41. Included with these performances were the Indian Relays in which Oak Park finished with 84 points taking first out of ten teams. Winning conference and district allowed the Oakies to qualify six girls for the state meet. They were: Judy Cole, Kathy Cummins, Sue Harris, Jan Hawk, Ramona Reily, and Damian Valline. The talented group racked up enough points to come home in 11th place. Although the 1980 season was success- ful, it ended on a sad note, being the last year for Mary Mitchell to coach the team. SPORTS 80-81 ooks on as his team performs. CC othing ever comes out as you anticipates, said head track coach Jerry Crews, but I feel that on the whole this year's track team was very successful. Although the team posted only an average 2-2 record in dual and triangular meets, the Oakies placed well at several relays. The Lee's Summit Relays highlight- ed the season. The combined efforts of jerry Shapiro and Todd Warner brought the Oakies to a third place out of fourteen teams. Shapiro took first in the high hurdles, C14.45 and intermediates 138.95 While Warner finished second in the 800 meter run C1:57.05. Also the 3200 meter relay with a school record time of 17:56.55 and the 1600 meter relay teams C3:245 took second places.

The team consisted of Murray, Sherpy, Andy Cravens and Warner. They came back with an 8th place finish and a new school record of 7:56.5. The consistency of the team was basically in the area of middle distance running, commented Crews. They were just very talented in this area. SPORTS 84-85 The team gets a pep talk from Coach Jones before the game. Cc here's nothing like experience is a saying that applies to the 1980 softball season. According to Coach Linda Jones, maturity was the missing ingredient in this year's team in its second year of competition. Although the team was young, it improved its record winning 10 of 17 games, but settled for a final record of 9-8 because of a forfeit. Playing at home suited the Oakies well as they strung together seven straight wins. Highlighting those wins were victories over Hickman Mills, 4-3, Winne- tonka, 4-3 and Raytown South, 4-1. Against Hickman Mills, Connie Henning ripped a two run double in the bottom of the seventh to put the Oakies ahead. Excellent pitching from Julie johnson spurred the girls over Raytown South and the strong bats of several Oakies downed the Griffins. Leading the team in batting was Stephanie Lees with a .510 average and Rhonda Claytor with .410. johnson led the pitching with a 4.76 earned run average. All- Conference honors found Henning, Lees, Claytor and Wendy White on second team while Johnson, jo Petty, Jamie Draper were honorable mention. White was also awarded MVP in the awards assembly.

They had an overall record of 8-5, which Coach Gus Baker felt was one of the best years ever for Oak Park golfers. Many of the players also felt the growth of the team. Ed Reilly said, I was proud to be on such an excellent team this year. I felt myself improving along with the other golfers. This improvement helped Reilly and Stetson to earn second team All- Conference. Next year Oak Park will feel the effects of graduation. But even though Stetson and Reilly are leaving Baker feels confident for next season. We have three returning lettermen and some very good junior varsity players so I think We will have a strong team next year.

The Oakies completed the season with a team batting average of .344, a new school record. Robert Smith led the conference and the team with .442 and Dave DeMeyer followed with .417. Dave Branstetter with .388 batted in 24 runs and led the team with six home runs. The next top hitters were Kory Lundy with .361, Steve Harlan with .343 and Donnie Anderson with .340. In the pitching department, Harlan led with an earned run average of 1.82, Randy Allen followed with 2.76 and Terry Osborn was 5.18.

Not only did he pitch that 13-1 victory over Blue Springs, but he kept Lee's Summit hitless in an 8-0 shut-out. As well as Allen, Harlan continued the excellent pitching in a third no-hitter against the future state champions, Winnetonka. This 4-0 victory remained scoreless until the fifth inning when Biery hlasted a triple to fire up the Oakie bats. Lundy then singled and Biery later scored on a DeMeyer field's choice. Eventually three more runners scored to put the Oakies ahead. Capping the record setting season, Oak Park captured its 200th victory in the program's fifteen year history. This happened four games into the season in a victory over Truman, 12-6. As the team's success continued, they captured first place in the Pony Express Tournament. After defeating St. joe Benton, 10-1 and St. Joe Central, 6-1, the Oakies faced N.K.C. in the finals.

As the district tournament began, the Northmen started off well defeating St. Joe Benton, 11-1. Unfortunately, third time was a charm for the Griffins as the Oakies were knocked off 1-6. All-Conference honors were rewarded to six Oak Park players. First team catcher was Dave Branstetter, outfielder and pitcher was Steve Harlan and designated hitter Dave Demeyer. Second team went to pitcher Randy Allen while honorable mention went to Robert Smith at first base and Greg Biery at third base.

But this group of athletes did not always get to play frequently as they would have liked. By the time they entered the competition, there was none left. The game's verdict had already been decided. - The Bench- warmers. Oak Park's teams were never made up of the five, eleven, or nine players always in view on the field or court. The benchwarmers, the ralliers, sometimes the joksters made up the Oakie teams, too. In fact, the bulk of Northmen teams was made up by benchwarmers. If an Oakie spectator could have taken his eyes off the action of the game for a moment, he might have seen a second stringerv pounding on the star's shoulder pads, psyching him up for the struggle, or the volleyball benchwarmer throwing her arms around the neck of the hero, or the baseball splinter picker congratulating the first team slugger for his home run. When the statistics were tabulated, the victories placed next to the defeats, there was no column acknowledging the benchwarmer. But the teams knew who kept the spirit going when the struggles got tough, and the acute Northmen often saw that there were other ways to come and play than striving to be the star. Above, grapplers wait their turn for a place on the mat while they watch a teammate.

This was the first year in Oak Park's history that a queen was crowned on her birthday. For the seven 1979-80 Homecoming Queen Candidates selected by the senior class, October 19 was a very special day. Each was first introduced at the pep assembly that morning, to the theme of If a Picture Paints a Thousand Words. That evening at half-time during the football game, the seven queen hopefuls were introduced for the second time by Yvonne Dowdy, Pep Club Vice President. The seven candidates circled the field in Corvettes, and were then escorted by their fathers into the star formed by Pep Club. Tension grew and the crowds became quiet as the announcement was made. April Lipscomb, 1979 Homecoming Queen turned the reign of queen over to Martha Trester. It was a dream I could not believe was happening , said Martha when she heard her name. When the shock wore off, and she realized what had happened Martha was, Very happy and appreciative to have received the honor. l Queen Martha Trester - ,W Cris Hays escorts Martha at the assembly. Homecoming: th V mM,,,,,.,f-- W'-'r E P K, , Wu' f he seven Cambia Queen Candidates chosen by the senior class, had a task unlike that of any other queen at Oak Park. With the use of booths, slogans, lights, and music, each candidate tried to persuade students to cast their vote by buying a yearbook from the booth of their favorite candidate. The favorite candidate for many Northmen was Julie johnson, 1980 Cambia Queen. The weekend prior to the start of sales, all of the candidates worked with their business managers and friends on organizing, making and setting up their booths. Mil1er's Malt Shop, Dawn's Cookie Factory, Julie's Gym, Trembly's Tavern, Palermo's Panning Prospectors, Janet's Jail of Justus, and Gilpin's Gazette became the center of attention for a busy week of sales. As the week progressed, so did the nervousness each candidate felt. The Cambia Dance December 7, highlighted the week with the announcement of the queen. Each candidate was escorted to the front of the gym. Students lined the sidelines in anticipation. Sharon Patterson, 1979 Cambia Queen, announced Julie the winner. All the time was worth it because I had a lot of fun. I became closer to my friends and met a lot of new people, said Julie.

A major part of the excitement experienced by Stephanie and the other six candidates, chosen by the winter sports teams, was the boy's basketball game they reigned over February 1. The Northmen were victorious 69-67 in a close contest against Blue Springs. Earlier that day at the assembly, each of the seven candidates were escorted down the center of the gym as the Oak Street Singers sang the theme, Ice Castles , and the student body looked on in anticipation of the new queen. Skits and good luck cheers by the cheerleaders and the boy's kazoo band, and the handing out of good luck charms by the candidates filled out the assembly. Jackie Stead 1979 Winter Sports Queen was escorted by Mr. Gary O'Del1 as she handed down her reign as queen to Stephanie, chosen by the students. The combination of the assembly and the basketball game helped create a day that each candidate felt they would always remember. Stephanie is escorted by Tom Walker during the assembly, PARTICIPATION 106 107 C C xcited, relieved, and overwhelmed, was the feeling expressed by Chris Wallis, 1980 St. Pat's King. I was just happy the suspense was over. Football, basketball, and track are perfect examples of his athletic ability. Throughout the year, Chris gained such honors as: second team All-Northland in footballg first All-Conference and All-Metro honorable mention in basketball, and eighth in high jump at the indoor state track meet. In the future, Chris plans to attend the University of Missouri-Rolla, majoring in Geological Engineering. Chosen by the Senior Class, the other candidates were: Steve Carmack, Dave DeMeyer, Mark Evenson, James Gingrich, Chris Hays, Scott Olson, and Tom Walker. At the dance, the king was announced by Pep Club Historian, Beth Trembly. Finally, Chris was crowned by Marcy Goodwin, Pep Club Sgt.-at-Arms.

Although we knew that the atten- dance at the St. Pat's dance would be low, we still tried hard and hoped for the best, said Kathy Dawson, Pep Club President. If a Picture Paints a Thousand Words was the theme for the Homecom- ing Dance which was sponsored by Student Council in conjunction with Pep Club who was responsible for the other festivities. Entertainment at the dance was provided by the band Sleeper , For a change in tradition, the Cambia Staff held a semi-formal dance with entertainment from Sound Dynamics. The gym was decorated like a Christmas Winter Wonderland , and was furnished with tables to sit at instead of bleachers. KCMO's weekend Dj, j.P. Morgan, sparked the St. Pat's dance with good music and great entertainment with the decoration in the good ole Irish spirit of green and white. In total, the three dances combined managed to spend S270 on decorations and food, S1035 on entertainment, and as a grand total the decorations committee used almost 1500 feet of streamers to spice up the gym. gg A 4g A gg to night life beat l l Students boogie to the beat at the CAMBIA Dance. PARTICIPATION 110 111 C C here will be an all-school assembly today right after morning announ- cements . . . all students are required to go to the Big Gym for the assembly or to the student lounge. So went the common routine at Oak Park whenever an assembly was scheduled. There were approximately fifteen assemb- lies for the 1979-80 school year, and most were planned by the students. All assembly agendas written by students were required to be approved by Mr. Dick Powers, activities coordinator. The only hard part of writing an assembly was being sure the skits were not too long or short, and that the teen-age crowd would accept it, said Julie Wyman, Student Council assembly chairperson. Ten years ago, Oak Park had assemblies periodically with paid per- formers. However, such assemblies were not feasable for Oakies in 79-80 because of the financial situations and the administra- tion's hesitation about requiring students to pay for school entertainment. Along with the established annual assemblies such as honoring all sports, queens, and king, Oak Park handled some special assemblies such as StuCo's Spirit of Christmas , AFS, and Tex Yearout, an inspirational speaker. ulie Millers friends congratulate her for being a Cambia queen finalist.

It was banquet season, and nobody enjoyed banquets more than Oakies. Of course, some banquets, like sports', were held throughout the year, but clubs and organizations found May to be the suitable time for bestowing awards on deserving students and faculty sponsors. It was a time of summing up and evaluating, a time to recall all those club sales, the hundreds of lockers decorated, the crazi- ness of the overnight debate tournaments, the deadlines met, and the friends made. The larger, more formal events were the Honor Society, COE, and Pep Club Banquets. But FTA, Oak Street, Drama, Stuco, NFL, and Journalism all shared in the Banquet season. Often, the only drawback to banquets was the sheer number. Said one student after her third banquet of the week, By the third one, the biggest honor went to the member who could get up and walk after the dinner. , f H -ffi Z'zZg, 'Y f -Q ..-.,.. --- L ,fh ai' Above, parents and employers honor COE students, Below, julie Wyman receives an award at the CAMBIA Banquet. ,--i. c ay - the m I+- I avcns and Troy Comfort enjoy their meal at Honor Society.

For some clubs and activities, it was a necessity to sell items to be able to have activities and still stay in the black. Many students enjoyed helping their clubs out by participating in the fund raising events. Fund raising made you appreciate your activity, and it gave you a sense of accomplishment and pride, said Celeste Wargo, band member. While some Oakies had pride about selling, others found it ridiculous. Fund raising items were being sold one after another, and it got tiring and old after awhile, stated Robin Williams, Stuco member. Every non-sport activity had one fund raising project this year, but most activities had more. Student Council, for instance, sold stuffed animals, T-shirts, and frisbees. Everything costs money to do, so we had to raise money to pay off debts with some money left over for next year, said jane Overbey. Stuco was not the only group to sell more than one item. German Club and Instrumental Music also sold more. Attitude and determination were depend- ed on by the activity members to sell their items. If the goal was not met, they either went in the hole, or had to find another item to sell. Thus, for some organizations, fund-raising was a vital part of an activity or it was another headache.

Unfortunately, the shining year was slightly tarnished by such controversial issues as the haunted house and the vote of confidence. Tim Asby, former vice-president, was impeached during january by the vote of confidence. Approximately 640 students, U3 of Oak Park's student population voted on the issue. According to janet Justus, Student Council President, The vote of confidence was insufficient in passing judgement on Tim. Many people weren't aware of what was really happening in Student Council . The tarnished star radiated periodical- ly for StuCo's successes. For the United Way campaign, Oak Park accumulated a record amount of S3,120. Another record breaker for Oak Park was the Blood Drive held in both October and March during which the mass quantity of 213 pints were collected. More firsts came for StuCo with the favorable Spirit of Christmas assembly and free breakfasts in the Student Lounge. StuCo kept up with tradition in successfully handling secret pals for teachers, Christmas stocking for Children's Mercy Hospital, and student exchanges with many schools including Lincoln Academy and one in St. Louis. Janet summed up the year when she said, We had an adequately successful year despite the controversies with the administration and with council participa- tion.

Student Council and Pep Club divided the activities for Homecoming Week October 15-20. Student Council was in charge of the dance, parade, balloon sale, and spirit week. Pep Club was responsible for the assembly, queen's pictures in the showcase, half-time formation, and the queen's committee. During the assembly Friday, October 19, the queens were introduced as the Oak Street Singers sang the theme If a Picture Paints a Thousand Words. Pom Pon and Flag Corps performed, as did the cheer- leaders. The girls presented good luck charms to the fall sports athletes to close the assembly. The annual parade into North Kansas City Stadium began at 6 p.m. Friday night before the game. Although the parade was a success, the Northmen fell to Northtown 7-0.

The two hundred member club, sponsored by Miss Linda Alverson and Ms. Annette Luyben, helped generate spirit in the teams by decorating rooms, lockers, making powerpacs and painting posters to show support. Because of inflation and a desire to promote spirit for all sports, Pep Club cut back this year on weekly power pacs to the teams. As one officer pointed out, to make a good power pac, it cost an average of S3-S8. Even though money was involved in most activities, Yvonne Dowdy Pep Club Vice President felt, It is rewarding to make things for teams because it makes you feel good and you are motivated to making others happy. Pep Club also sponsored Homecoming, Winter Sports, St. Pat's and all pep assemblies. This was the second year for Oak Park's Wrestling Chanters.

Sheryl Gilliland anxiously waits for a referee's call. C C he best thing about being a cheerleader was being in front of a crowd and getting riled up for the team to win, said Debby Seats, varsity cheerleader. Being a cheerleader was more than cheering at over one hundred games and in assembliesg it required roughly one hundred hours of long, hard practice. During the summer, the girls practiced two hours each day, and during school, mods 1-3 daily, where they worked on cheers they themselves made up, and cheers learned at camp. The cheerleaders favorite cheers were chants that involved Pep Club. Another major part of the Northmen Cheerleaders job, with the help of Pep Club, was spirit week. It consisted of making power pacs, decorating rooms, and making phone calls to players of all sports. For one week each summer, the cheerleaders attended camp. The varsity squad won the award of excellence, five blue ribbons, three spirit sticks, congeniality award, and Marcia Tatum won the most outstanding cheerleader award. I The junior varsity squad won four blue ribbons, one red ribbon, congeniality award, and three spirit sticks. Miss Linda Alverson, four year sponsor said, All of the girls worked well together, got along fine, and were very cooperative. PARTICIPATION 126 127 nthusiasm was the main word for the forty-five member Pep Band and twenty member Pom Pon squad as they generated spirit in the form of music and dance during over forty performances throughout the year. And perform was exactly what Pep Band did as they kept busy performing in nine assemblies, twelve regular games, at the NAIA basketball finals, UMKC, William Jewell, Maryville, and Missouri Western Colleges. As with any performance group, practice was involved. The Pep Band met twice a week, and rehearsed thirty hours throughout the year. Pep Band did more than just play, they got involved during games because of a wider variety of music played, commented Mr. Alan Moon. Besides playing music the band got physically involved with cheers and skits, including reading newspapers while an opposing team was being introduced. Appearing with Pep Band at games and assemblies was the Pom Pon squad, sponsored by Ms. Annette Luyben. During the 1-2 hour rehearsal each day, the girls worked on routines they themselves had made up. At the SMSU Competition the squad won first place which proved that the hard work payed off. Pom Pon captain Stephanie Lees said, All of the practice involved is rewarding, especially when the audience applauds.

P.E.P allowed Oakies to help others communicate while Radio Broadcasting was Oakies communicating to other Oakies. James Hayden of Concerned Care said that P.E.P's purpose was to teach mentally retarded students from Maple Valley School for the retarded and to help them have a better mastery of the social graces. Sponsor Debbie Thompson and pre- sident Barb Bowman worked with other members on such projects as bowling, eating pizza, and learning how to dial and use the telephone. Radio Broadcasting did not use the telephone, but microphones as they spent free mods broadcasting into the lounge on O.P.L.A. Students usually got to broadcast at least three mods a week and had to have a program log, or outline prepared before airtime. As O.P.L.A. was not commercial and could not do professional advertising, they often donated time to school function, promoting activities such as dances. Whether they were giving, love, time or both, these groups were important in their own way.

PARTICIPATION 134 l35 embers of German, French, and Spanish Clubs enjoyed activities that mixed American culture and the culture of a foreign country to learn how people outside of America live. While the Spanish Club members gained knowledge of the language through classwork, the club activities provided an outlet for that knowledge. The students were soley responsible for the activities, and they tried to do as many Spanish related activities as possi- ble, said club sponsor Mrs. Connie Hostetler. Some activities the thirty-six member club took part in were a Mexican fiesta at Crown Center, a simulated Mexican Christmas, an International Club Dinner with German and French groups, and a banquet at Los Barreras. Their main money making project was a concession stand for home basketball games. Julie Bates, Spanish Club President thought, People cared about being a member of the club. It was larger this year which helped make a good year with more participation. The oral and written exercises, slides, and learning of customs in class enhanced German Club members as they participat- ed in many activities. Among them were eating at a German restaurant, ice-skating, bowling, Thanksgiving food drive, caroling at a nursing home, the International dinner, and a hayride. The group also sold Advent calendars. is I French class representatives for 1980: Pat Ibarra, Kana Kardell, Tammy Croy, Advisor Priscilla Mitchell, Laura Abel, and Betsy Graveline.

Although the French group did not function as a club, the class participated in various outside activities such as the International Dinner, ice-skating, and a hayride. Guest speakers, reading, writing, listening, and speaking French were a major part of the class. Acting out plays and the use of audio-visual material also aided students in the learning of French. Senior Sue Kenfield summed up the yearls activities saying, The activities were not extraordinary, but they were fun and gave members a chance to get acquainted with other people. Overall each group was successful in providing activities that students enjoyed and benefited them in the learning of language and its culture. Q2 0 ,gr Pct llAl.d I drr1Sp I Banquet.

For 20 Maple Valley mentally han- dicapped students, Oak Park's Honor Society was a vital group, one which provided them with fun and social awareness. At Halloween, Honor Society members dressed up and played games with, provided treats for and disco- danced with the students at the Maple Valley School. Although the society played an important role, few of the clubs 218 members were consistent participants, said Mrs. Mowry. One who was active was Troy Comfort, who said, I felt I had an obligation to make sure that the club ran smoothly with or without the officers. I really enjoyed doing the work and appreciated the work Mrs. Mowry did for us. The annual banquet was held at the President Hotel. 192 members and parents listened to speaker Mr. Phil Snowden, state representative. Another club that promoted leadership and initiative was Future Teachers of America. Career experience was gained by the 30 members as they aided teachers throughout the NKC district. The club really gave me a more positive perspective about pursuing teaching as a career, said senior Dawn Reynolds. Some teaching was done by Oakies, but much time was spent grading papers, typing, group work and recording grades.

Participation was steady throughout the year, except in bowling and gymnastics. Competition was good, but roughness was more evident this year than in past, said Mr. Bobby Bryant who was in charge of basketball and co-ed volleyball. Mr. Floyd Klang ran girls' Gymnastic Club and bowling. Both basketball and volleyball met once a week with regularly scheduled games, play-offs, and a championship game. Gary Greer's champion team, consisting of Brad Harris, Troy Orlando, Frank Etzenhouser, Dave Long, Charlie Mixon, and James Nicholson, knocked off Pat Ibarra's team in the championship round 48-38. Sam Rogers team consisting of Joe Rogers, David Branstetter, Gary Greer, Carol Church- man, julie Miller, Lisa Wilcox, and Teresa Altenhofen won the volleyball finals. The girls Tumbling Team, consisting of 32 girls out of the regularly scheduled gymnastic class, performed at various elementary schools, at basketball games, and at an assembly. Under the direction of Mrs. Linda jones, the program finished its fourth year. Meeting once sometimes twice a week, the girls perfected their five routines. After the introduction of the team, the girls started with the basic stunts and worked up to the more complicated stunts. The enthusiasm of the girls has made it an enjoyment to me, said Mrs. Jones.

Winning 'Best of Show' was one of the greatest experiences that has happened to me while at Oak Park, said Chris. The idea for his painting came to Chris when he and Mrs. Jeanne Lawing were in search of a subject to draw, and they came upon the pipes in the boiler room. To get the Art Show under way, officers and representatives of Art Club helped organize various items. They sold 10C entry blanks to participants, hung the art, and sold entries every night during musical. The ten cent fee covered the cost of ribbons, first place winners, and judges. An acrylic painting of a porch scene done by Karen Ryan, and a pencil drawing of drums done by Barbie Banister, were returned too late by the National Scholastic Art Show in New York to be entered in the Art Show. Both girls 'Cf Q fi Mil' muff? 2- received blue ribbons and gold keys.

PARTICIPATION 148 149 e were successful in taking a well-known, older proven script and giving it a new life, claimed Ms. Risa Hille, drama director of the 1979-80 junior Class play, Harvey . The story of Harvey by Mary Chase, might go down in history for its number of successful performances throughout the decades. This classical tale revolves around the unusual friendship of the gentle, easy going Elwood P. Dowd, CDoug Rinehartj to a six-foot white pooka , CHarveyj. Elwood's society- minded sister, Veta, CKim McCannj, decides to commit the erratic Elwood into a mental institution after he ruined her afternoon social party. The entire play is enlivened by a colorful variety of personali- ties making Harvey a delightful blend of comedy for all audiences. The drama department presented Harvey to the public November 1, 2, and 3 for 551.75 per person. For the cast and crew the six weeks of rehearsals befor- ehand became a grueling ritual. Problems arose with the running of a special effects crew for the first time. Also, amongst the running of wires across the stage, the cast had a difficult time creating characters unique from all the other Harvey productions. In the final production, the cast and crew gave Harvey a new life all its own. 'Ned' Doug R eha t CElwood P.

Joe Benjamin CKent Walkerj a wealthy, God-fearing box company owner, goes from riches to rags through several tests of faith since he has been chosen as God's Favorite. Sidney Lipton Uason Dixonj kept the audience in stitches with his performance as the eccentric messenger from God sent with the task of getting joe to renounce God no matter what it takes. The Benjamin mansion was robbed and later burnt down. Joe's family leaves him and David QBrandon Meyerj his first born drunk son, an atheist, is blinded. Still, in the style of Moses, Joe did not back down and renounce God. He kept faith and so remained God's favorite. The individual characters portrayals added spice to the successful performances. In addition to the actors, a fire scene and mood music gave the audience a sense of realism and visual entertainment. The Theater in the Round is more of a challenge, said Kent Walker, because you have the audience so close to you that your expressions and mistakes are easily seen, but this also makes it much more gratifying. 2017 l-QL, 'E iGod,s 0 7 avorite joe faces the loss of his home to fire.

The title song of Oak Park's musical this year, Oklahoma , could be heard coming from the main theater during its two months of preparation, and also during the four nightly performances April 23-26. This Rodgers and Hammerstein classic was set just after the turn of the century in Indian territory, now Oklahoma. The story centers around Curly, portrayed by Don Larson, and Laurey, played by Anne Baker. Each is in love with the other but is afraid to say so because of what people might think. Eventually their love conquers and they get married despite foreshadowings of death and tragedy. Other characters adding life to the story were Aunt Eller CKim McCannJ , the loveable aunt who kept everything in perspective, and Ali Hakim CRod Jacksonb , the Persian peddler who was constantly being chased by someone. Will Parker Uohn Wagnerj, Jud Fry CKent Walkerj, and Ado Annie CSharon Wheelerj also added spice to the show with the characters they portrayed.

There were some problems with the show though. One main problem was postponing it for one month because the show was opening on Broadway, and there was difficulty in getting music for the pit orchestra. Because of these delays, it was hard to keep students enthusiastic. Another problem was coordinating as many people as were involved into the produc- tion. Male lead Don Larson felt, It was gratifying the way everyone worked together as a team and the success of the show did not depend on just a few people. One thing that pulled the show together turned out to be a character-Aunt Eller CKim McCannJ. According to Mr. Grace, She was the steadying influence of the show. Oklahoma was fantastically success- ful despite problems, and all of the principles came through marvelouslyf' concluded Mr. Grace ..-fx., Poor Jud laments living in his lonely room.

All were made possible by the long, hard work by the entire cast and crews of Oklahoma . g Seven crews brought life to the stage from behind the scenes of Oklahoma : stage, lighting, props, construction, busi- ness, make-up, and costume. The man- agers of these crews were the most consistently effective that I have ever had in a single production, said Ms. Risa Hille, drama director. They gracefully handled obstacles which might be insurmountable to some. Une such obstacle confronted the props crew when they were required to find a surrey with fringe on top, bloomers, and an old iron stove. During the Friday night performance, the antique stove fell apart when Curly sat on it, and the rust flew around. The audience roared at the comical scene, while the props crew sobbed, for the stove was a borrowed antique. Another obstacle that was successfully breached was by the make-up crew. For the first time, make-up artists were hired and the crew was required to go to make-up seminars. A problem arose when it was discovered that one of the lead performers was allergic to the professional make-up. According to Mr. Bill Grace, the accumulative hours spent for cast, crews, orchestra, and directors exceeded 6,000 hours. 'Uh Mike Koch adds the finishing touches to the set, PARTICIPATION 158 159 ocal music was filled with a variety of melodies, as the 437 students enrolled practiced songs ranging from a popular Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band medley to the unforgettable Messiah by Handel. The choirs, working together to make the year a success, were the ACappel1a Choir, Girls' Concert Choir, Sophomore Choir, Mixed Choirs, and pop groups the Oak Street Singers, Northern Lights, and Northmenis Express. As in years past, the Messiah was a major highpoint of the year. There were approximately 500 in the chorus, includ- ing 350 graduates. Mr. Bill Grace, director, felt, It is remarkable how many graduates come back year after year. It shows how important the Messiah is to the people involvedf' Another highpoint was the ACappel- la Choir entering contest for the first time and receiving a one rating at state level. Performing at the Missouri Music Educators Conventional at Tan-Tar-A topped the year for the Oak Street Singers. They also performed at such places as the Hilton Plaza Inn and Breckenridge Inn, as well as many churches and schools throughout the area. The Oak St eet Smge s made over fifty appearances. Sh..

That's the way that instrumental music direc- tor Alan Moon described this year. Mr. Moon commented that most of the im- provement resulted from the number of participants in the program, and the overall effectiveness of all instrumental groups. Two of Oak Park's instrumental performing groups displayed this effective- ness at contest. The Symphonic Band received a II rating in their second year of competition, and the Orchestra acquired a top rating of I in their first attempt. Those who faired equally as well with I ratings at the state level were the trombone quartet of John jezak, Rick Reddekopp, Brad Mitchell, and Dave Priceg Susan Gutsch-flute solog Sauna Reif-trumpet solog Celeste Wargo-flute solo, and the violin duet with Robbie Hale and Andrea Schmidt. New to the instrumental department was the Northmen's Ax , a performing group made up of students from the pep band. Their performances extended from the McDonald's on Antioch Road to the Hilton Plaza Hotel. Regardless of their slow start, the Jazz Band did perform at the Antioch Shopping Center jazz Festival and the StuCo banquet.

It was during the critical performance times that the countless hours of practice and preparation paid off. The main performance group in vocal music was the Oak Street Singers, who traveled extensively throughout the area at elementary schools, hotels, and churches, totaling fifty performances this year. Rehearsals began in August and carried on throughout the year with numerous hours, especially in preparation for their perfor- mance at Tan-Tar-A. Oak Street member Terry Lillge felt, At times it seemed like the rehearsals were never ending, but it paid off when the audience responded to what we were doing. An additional performance group in the instrumental music area, taken from Pep Band, was the Northmen's Ax. This eight member group had fifteen perfor- mances at such places asg the Radisson Muehlbach, Airport Hilton, and the Tri-County Mental Health Center. Symphonic Band practiced everyday mods 4-6 to produce four concerts, and Orchestra rehearsed daily mods 7-9, with four concerts. 2- l- ing spirit 'S Mr. Moon discusses Jazz Band with Mr. Leonard of the Antioch Music Center PARTICIPATION 164 165 CC ational Forensic League has more than doubled since last year, said a proud Mr. Richard Rice, NFL sponsor. Rice had plenty of reason to be proud as more talent and leadership were expressed this year than ever before, evidenced by the record number of trophies Won during the 1979-80 season. The Oak Park Speech and Debate squad competed in 22 tournaments and captured a total of seven sweepstakes. In the state competition at MU, Oak Park was represented by eight winners: Steve Bayliss and Kerry Brinsa-first place in Duet Acting, Nikki Perry-seventh in Humorous, Cindy Crain-third in Storytelling, Susan Mertzlufft-third in Prose, Jan Dodd-fourth in Oratory, and Rick McFar- land and Kassie Fry-eighth in Regular Debate. Not only was the Oak Park squad successful in competition, they also hosted an outstanding Winter Wonderland Tournament December 7-8 at Oak Park. Twenty-eight high schools came from all over Missouri and Kansas to participate with hopes of winning Oak Park's huge gold sweepstakes trophy. The NFL squad was led this year by five officers: Kim McCann-President, Bruce Hau- bien-Vice-President, Julie Wyman-Secretary- Treasurer, Amanda Barmby-Historian, and Steve Gaul-Sgt.-at-Arms. N..

However, in order to become a praised drama jock, students were required to go through an involved apprenticeship pro- gram for the duration of a play. Thespians have become a more meaningful organization since the introduc- tion of the apprenticeship program. Would-be Thespians have to work harder and learn more which means well-rounded managers for Oak Park show, said Kim McCann. The apprenticeship program was designed so that incoming Thespian apprentices learn more about the Theatre Arts. Each ape was responsible for a major and a minor project from two separate crews. For a major, the apes were given that crew managership they can adequately run. For a minor, the apes chose their own crew to do a creative project which was presented to all Thespians at the initiation. The duration of the apprenticeship was the length of a play, approximately two-and-one-half months. To become a Thespian, a person had to first acquire twenty points. These points were achieved by acting, crews, tour- naments, and attendance to professional shows. Once the points had been ac- cumulated, the student was considered for the apprenticeship program. if Hao cond: find liachngwl Dramajocksanse A motto many Thespians act by.

Below, the line formed to the right and to the left as couples made their way through the buffet at Oak Park's first prom and dinner. Left, Photographer Scott Tubbesing conducts one of many photo sessions that evening. M l A or the first time in Gak Park's history, the annual junior-senior prom was held banquet-style, instead of the traditional eating dinner out and then attending prom. With this change came much controversy, but despite the conflicts, 242 couples attended prom held at the Breckenridge Hotel. According to Mrs. Pam Petitt, junior class sponsor, the main reason for having a banquet-style prom was that by having a dinner, the room did not have to be rented. This provided financial clout and the security of not being canceled at the last minute. The dinner consisted of choices of ham or roast beef, salads, vegetables, and cake. Couples sat at tables in groups of eight or sixteen, giving them a chance to choose the people they would like to sit with. Another change this year was prom royalty. The king and queen of prom, Kory Lundy and Marcia Tatum, received a S30 gift certificate to Plaza III restaurant and movie passes. After the candle-lit dinner, couples danced to the music of the j.T. Cooke Band. The prom favor was a glass with a candle in it, and a prom memories booklet to capture the memories of the evening.

I W Identification cards put an end to the identity crisis. ne thing that many sophomores were faced with as they began their years in high school was an identity crisis, of trying to make a name for themselves through valuable identification cards. For most sophomores the most prized possession was the long awaited driver's license. Hardly a day went by when some sophomore could be heard telling a group of wide-eyed friends, Hey, I got my driver's license! This ID provided not only identification, but also gave sophomores a sense of pride and security. Other ID's that gave sophomores a feeling of status were: student ID cards offered this year to underclassmen, library cards, and to some even credit cards. For sophomores, 1979-80 became the first year in a line of many that they encountered life not as just a person, but as a series of cards to provide them with the necessary ID to carry them through life.

Although the practice hours were not the best nor the locations exactly convenient, when it was time to walk out on the field and perform, everything seemed worth- while, said Mary and Jana.

This sixteen member singing group was originated in 1978 with the intention of getting sophomores into the process of auditioning for other performing groups they may be interested in getting involved with their junior and senior years. It also gave them experience and the realiza- tion that auditioning is not as hard as it may seem. Northmen's Express sang a variety of pop songs, among them Everythings Alright from Jesus Christ Superstar. According to Mr. Bill Grace, There was as much raw talent this year as ever.

If a student failed the test, then Basic English, a required class, would have to be taken his junior year. After one semester of Basic English, students were given the LAPT again. If a passable score was achieved, students were allowed to get out of the classg but if a student fails again, another semester was taken of Basic English.

For junior, Laurie Ribble, it was a challenge. Laurie felt that her previous junior classes were effort- less and she needed a challenge. Although a classroom full of seniors might have intimidated most jun- iors, Laurie liked the change. Even though the work in College Credit English was a major obstacle, Laurie had a more difficult time just getting into the class. The procedure began with Ms. Rita Vonn and ended with Rockhurst College. Even though more work was required in the class, a sense of accomplishment was a feeling well worth the effort, said Laurie. julie Caster Kevin Cauthon Kelley Cavanaugh Emmett Caw Katie Cetto David Cheek Susan Cheney college class 5 1 1' Laurie Ribble discusses her research paper with Ms. Rita Vonn.

However, three juniors, james Clinton, Mike Wyman, and Steve Rehrer, took the first step in making their flying dreams a reality. They joined an aeronautics pilot training class. The aeronautics class taught these boy's and many others in the Kansas City area ages 16-18, the principles of flying every Wednesday night at the TWA overhaul base. These three future pilots listened to lectures and Watched films on such topics of aviation as: navigation, weather, flying equipment, mechanics, and effects that certain condi- tions have on airplanes. This class taught us the technical end of flying, said Mike Wyman, And it also gave us the chance to contemplate piloting as a possible career.

However, Maureen thought the best part of the process was the finished product, It was fun to see people reading it and carrying it around?

Raise the body heat to where the building is uncomfortable to learn and study. That was the situation during the second week of school. Specific guidelines had to be met for school buildingsf, states Mr. Powers, U78 degrees was the deciding factor, but the school board did not take into consideration all of the body heat that would take place.

Jan said that at first she felt awkward, but then she was really glad that she had it because it was so hot.

' 1 X Weekends spent gout of town' ' eniors at Oak Park had a variety of ways to escape the tensions that captured them during the long, grinding school week. One way which seemed most common was to leave the boundaries of Missouri and travel to Kansas to find excitement. Bill Cody's, Zipper's, and Shakey's were the most popular weekend night spots. It was in these places that seniors forgot worries by dancing, enjoying good music, and just plain having fun. According to the management at Shakey's on Metcalf, 20f7o of their weekend business came from eighteen-year-olds in Missouri, and at Shakey's on State Avenue, 33fHJ of their Friday and Saturday night business came from eighteen years olds from Missouri. Even though the drive was long, friends still piled into cars to enjoy a fun-filled evening. Going out of town will always remain a part of a senior's life. ii T , , Sue Harris Bruce Haubein Leland Haupt Susan Havens Jan Hawk Cris Hays Nancy Heathma jeff Hefley Cheryl Heslop Connie Henning Brian Hensley David Herman Sheila Hevalow Susie Hicl-:erson Sam Hill D PERSONALITIES 220-221 William Hine Vicki Hipp Mary Hoey Diana Hogle Ronald Hood Shelly Hord Judy Howe Nancy Howell Mary Ann Huddleston Sharon Hurd X Kathy Hutcherson Paul Hytinen Pat Ibarra John Ildza Rod jackson NIV Ni 4 .

Probably one of the most thought-out questions that seniors asked was, To college or not to college? If so, where? The answer to this important question reflects what the future may hold. College information was available through Oak Park counselors, college representatives, college catalogs, and finally, the counselors blue book, which was a composite of all colleges in the U.S. It gave a detailed description of entrance requirements, cost per year, and the environment on campus and in the community. In these inflationary times, financial aid was a major benefit to college-bound students. Four types of aid were offered: scholarships, grants, loans, and a work study program. Counselor Larry Blackwell said, Financial aid is like fishing. The more lines you have out, the better chance a student has of success.

He said the breaking of any of his rules was a vote no for the lounge and modular scheduling. Throughout the year, the breakfast and machine privileges were cut off at times due to problems within the lounge, mainly smoking and vandalism. Why should I care? I'm a senior. I Won't ww-miie be here next year! , was the attitude of many seniors during the year. Although it took everyone Csophomores, juniors, and seniorsj to create the problems this year, The senior class is, as Dr. Kahler put it, a catalyst for everything that happens at Oak Park. For next year, the lounge will be one-third the size and true modular scheduling will no longer exist.

What did it all mean? The answer: Senioritis. Each one was a symptom of this dreaded disease that most Northmen Seniors experienced at sometime during the 1979-80 school year. The disease struck many seniors during the winter months. Even those involved in clubs and activities found that those things that had been labors of love became merely labors now. To Rod jackson senioritis was, A time in a senior's life when you can't wait to graduate. It comes in the spring and grows until senior week. To cure the disease, many people got involved with other activities at school to pass the time until graduation. But that didn't work, the only other alternative was to be patient . . . and wait.

So what S gkeeps everyone from being a referee? Parents. I kicked them out! , replied Mike Reynolds, senior YMCA referee. Some parents were getting really radical and they started threatening me, so I told them to leave. Although not every game contains this much suspense, they all had their own exciting moments. At Oak Park there were six seniors boys employed by Larry Richards, coordinator of the YMCA referees. The six were: Dave Long, Mike Reynolds, Tom Sanford, Robert Smith, Ed Stegall, and Greg Winklejohn. They refereed games played during the Week at area junior high schools. The teams' ages ranged from clutsy-cute third and fourth graders to blood-thirsty seventh and eighth graders. When asked why they referee, all simply replied, It's fun!

But for seniors that time was special and reserved for fun and games. It was senior week. Instead of spending fourth quarter concen- trating on school work, many seniors were pouring over travel guides and studying their bank accounts. Many planned economy trips. Trips not too near Mom and Dad, but just far enoughg nice but not extravagant. Suddenly a cot sounded okay. Hot spots were the Lake of the Ozarks, Tablerock, and other lake side escorts in Southern Missouri. A few adventurers really chose to bask in the sun and headed as far away as California, Florida, and Padre Island. Cooler alternatives were the Rockies, or just any old hill in Colorado.

As Bob Rush of Josten's pointed out, if school involvement and enthusiasm is high, a school will have a higher buying percentage, which Oak Park has. Senior Keys and Memory Books were just two of the extra graduation accessories seniors could buy. As usual, cement was the most buying one particular trend toward buying variety of items that the graduation announ- popular item.

Dr. Baker was introduced by Kim Naylor. Keep on growing and Watch out for popular myths were the two road signs Dr. Baker used to preach his theme to the graduating seniors. ACappella sang Gloria from Mass in Time of War and Saul under the direction of Mr. Bill Grace. Leslie Letkowski closed the service with the benediction.

The gift, an lectern containing a built in sound system, was then put to use for the remainder of the ceremony. Before naming the class of 1980, the Bunyan Believers , Dr. Dan Kahler announced his gift of a hard maple tree to the class, symbolizing the classes contribu- tions to the Northmen tradition.

What the watchful student really discovered, as the world carried them along from 1979 into a new decade, was that of all the tests ever taken, the biggest one was still ahead.

The plight of the hostage families was carried by the media to our homes. Especially poignant was President Carter's Christmas message where he refused to light the White House Christmas tree until the hostages were released.

Names that if they were not household words before, became so during the year. The most heated race in 79-80 was between Kennedy and Carter. Although Carter conducted a rose garden campaign and refused to debate Kennedy, he led the polls and won the primaries most of the Noah, Tammy 57,58,71,163, year. John Anderson left the Republican party to run as a third party candidate after failing to dent Reagan's consistent campaign. Iran and the economy dominated political attacks and counter-attacks as the candidates felt the pulse of the country and played their political cards accordingly.

There WAS some this year despite the dire national and international scenes. If you owned gold and turned it into cash at the right time, you just might be very wealthy today. The Pittsburg Pirates proved that the rise in divorce in America was not going to hurt their family. For many Christians, the Pope's visit in the fall not only highlighted the year, but also a life time of devotion. The pilgrim from Rome , as the media dubbed him, touched the lives of millions in his short visit. Touching a different nerve was the U.S. hockey team, who defeated the Russians, won an Olympic gold medal, and gave national pride an unexpected booster shot.
