Both the president and vice- president of student council changed during the year. The Vice-President, Tracey Blackmore, quit to go on C.O.E. and the President, Mike Siglar, was voted out through the vote of confidence In January. Less than ten percent of the student body voted in the con- fidence. Falr? Many students did not think sa. No way ln the world was the vote of confidence fair, because of the low percentage of people that voted, said Kristi Marquez, who later became the new vice- president. lt's only a popularity vote. I feel the vote of confidence ls fair lf people are serious, and don't take it as ajoke, said Juan Rangel, StuCo Sergeant at Arms. 210 people out of 2100 people voted. Maybe a lot of people didn't know about lt, but for that, Mike Siglar should not have been voted out. The change In president and vice-president brought about confu- sian and unorganization, but the new president, Richard Taylor, and Kristi caught on fast, according to many StuCo members. I feel Richard and Kristi did an excellent job for not being exper- lenced, said Kaylene Holt, junior representative. They got organ- ized welI. Even through all the confusion, StuCo was able to follow through Vlckl Roy looks away as she gives blood at the blood drlve. with all of its traditional activities. The blood drives this year flooded with success. The one held in the Spring broke the schol record. '76 units of blood were collected in the fall, said Kristin Snowden, organizer of the blood drives. But 125 units were collected in the Spring, which broke the school record of 117 units, set four years ago. StuCo helped revive the dance tradition at Oak Park. Most of the seven dances were successes, according to Sonya Granquist, secretary. But many people felt that the dances were the only activity StuCo got really involved ln. Dances were the best project StuCo put on, said Juan. We made lots of money, but StuCo needs to be more than dances. There were four representatives sent from StuCo to the Missouri Association of Student Council. Officers from various schools met in Belton, Missouri to discuss how their Student Councils run. The MASC convention is a great way to communicate with other schools and get new ideas for next year, said Kaylene. I went to many workshops, which taught me how to jump start your commit- tees. I feel we all did a good job considering the consequences, but I feel StuCo could be better, said Richard. StuCo needs an enthusias- tic leader that can devote a lot of time. Hopefully, that's what StuCo will get next year. by Debbie Russell tuCo adopts ro changes, new ofhcers 10 Student Council During the student exchange with Excelsior Springs, some Oakle students listened to their band: 1 1 !'f 'Y 5 n U l , .f' A ff AUEVYE ,M J, ,,.- 3 , 411. 7 hw 1 r 'f 'Q -' , rf' v 4 in f, U ,qw ,H 1, , f , f - , f A' 7 lim, , 4 , QA 1 Y f ' 5 I f ' . f' .

It wasn't how I had plctured lt. The whole atmosphere was changed due mostly to the weather, sold Rhonda James. , l was disappointed that we couldn't rlde outside of the cor- vettes, because that was a blg part that I looked forward to, com- mented Kelly Klrby. The weather dld take away some of the splrlt of Homecomlng, but the excitement of belng a Homecomlng candldate was stlll there. I was very surprised when I was told I was up for Homecomlng Queen, and very excIted, sald Llsa Athanas. Desplte the broken tradltlons, the glrls may have started a new one of thelr own, when they all went out to dinner together before the game. Going out to dinner before the game was speclal because before we were all nomlnated we really dldn't know each other, but afterwards I had a feeling of closeness for each of them, sald Debbie Russell. lt was lots of fun eating at 21! 21. Knowing soon that one of us would soon be crowned queen dldn't seem to be on anyone's mlnd. The atmosphere was very comfortable, sald Gena Brelner. All the nervousness and excl- tement mounted the mornlng of the assembly and game. I wasn't really aware of how thrllllng lt all was for me untll I heard 14 Homecomlng Queen my name over the microphone at the assembly, said Trish Ham- mond. I thought lt was neat the way Pep Club set up the format to the tradltlonal assembly differently this year. lt was a needed change, said Rhonda. The theme was Always on My Mlnd by Wlllle Nelson and was sung by Mr. Del Sutton, music teacher at New Mark Mlddle School and a 1969 Oak Park graduate. The ralny, mlsty weather on the night of Homecomlng upset the traditional procession ofthe corona- flon. The glrls had to rlde lnslde the corvettes and thelr ride was cut to only half the trlp around the field. Pep Club also wasn't able to perform thelr planned field forma- tlon of a rainbow. I was worrled about my dress getting muddy, and my shoes were slnklng ln the mud, said Kelly. Even with the worries and dlsappolntments of the glrls, they stlll enjoyed being candidates. I felt very honored to have been chosen by my senior class to be one of the seven Homecoming candldates, sald Trlsh. -Rhonda agreed, saylng, The whole experience was something that I wlll remember for the rest of my llfe. Whether I won or not wasn't as Important to me as just being nominated because l consider that an honor, sald Myllssa Yazel.

The job was not that difficult especially when it came to dances. Hundreds of students helped to revive the dying dance tradition this year. For the past three years the response from the student body has been overwhelming according to Mr. Dick Powers, activity coordin- ator. The dances have really been successful lately. Dances are really important to get a total educational process. The kids only receive a partial education if they are not involved, he said. But what most Oakies did not realize was how much time was involved in organizing a dance. lt was a big headache, said Business Manager Dolly Cunning- ham. There was a list of things that. you normally don't realize. With food, decorating and music needed to be organized, you were afraid that you might forget something. But lt was worth it. Throughout the year, approx- Imately nine dances were held which was an upswing from past years. The administrative staff has a general rule that only one dance be sponsored a month, Mr. Powers said. But in the past we usually did not meet the quota . . . now we are. As in the case of the St. Pat's dance, most dances have looked to sound systems instead of bands. The majority of the student council, said Student Council Vice President Kristi Marquez, voted for a sound system instead of a band, mainly due to the fact that with a sound system popular songs can be played instead of songs that no one has ever heard before. lf the turnout keeps the upward pace that it has, more will be planned, according to Mr. Powers. We base our judgement on the number of kids who turn out. As long as the reception is good, we will continue to sponsor dances. The student body's reception to dances has proven itself by the number of dances that were placed on the calendar this year, Mr. Powers added. Dances are really fun if you happen to get a partner that doesn't step on your feet or has sweaty palms, said Senior Kim Britton. By Lisa Woody PTSA dance brought in the crowds.

Oak Park offered people the chance to become what they may wanted to become with such groups as Fellowship of Christian Athletes, One .on One and dance and gymnastics. They simply created a harmonic mind, body and soul. For the first time in recent OP history, a religious group was begun that directed its attention prlmarily to athletes. We wanted Christian athletes not to strive for themseIves, said sponsor Mr. Mel Taylor, a 1981 OP graduate, but instead to strive for the Lord so he can put that much more into it. Many complications usually arise from organlzlng a new group, but those Involved felt it was well worth the effort. lt was the most exciting time in many students lives to come to an FCA meeting. We had guest speakers, activities and trlps scheduled throughout the program, said Mel. FCA was not only for athletes, but for anyone interested. FCA was open to anyone who wanted to come. We wanted to teach everyone not to strive for earthly glory but for the power that lies wlthln, Mel said. One on One, like FCA, was established to help others but on a different level. One on One was slmply peer counseling, said Jill Hensley. We have drug speakers, Alnon speakers, and people who have been through painful situa- tIons. One on One's main goal was to help students get acquainted, to learn from each other and to help others. A glrl came to a meeting and just sat there for a long time, Jlll said, then she started crying. She didn't have friends because she was afraid to talk to anyone. But after a few meetings she gained confidence. Later I saw her and she had plenty of friends. Mr. Joe DeGrado, sponsor, went on to say, I think we really have something going here. lt is still getting started, but I think the group is really helping. Dance, unlike FCA and One on One, was a way to be physically creative. Dance I was for beginners and Dance ll for the more advanced. Dance Il, with the aid of dance instructor Mrs. Nancy Hudson, traveled to elementary schools and nursing homes performing for special groups that requested them. Mrs. Hudson explained what she enjoyed the most about teaching dance. I like to create dances and I love watching dancers create, learn and progress. It is really gratifying to see progress. With the problem of scheduling, the enrollment for gymnastics has not been as large as in years past, but the quality has not declined. There is a lot of potential, said gymnastic instructor Mrs. Linda Jones, but with increased schedul- ing requirements, it's hard for students to take gymnastics. Many benefits arose for those who did take the class. I have learned that with practice there are things I can accomplish, Renee Enzor said. I felt healthier and more aIert. With the work FCA, One on One, Dance and gymnastics did, students found new ways to improve their minds, bodies, and souls. By Lisa Woody Dance Class: Front row - Fawn Stetson, Myllssa Yayel.

Tracey Stephenson. p Tracy Stephenson takes down her prize- wlnnlng fabric from the Media Center showcase. l l uality artwork displayed in annual show TX thought the quality of the Art Show was the best it had ever been, said Mrs. Jeanne Lawing, art teacher. The annual Art Show was held April 30 through May 5. Over BOO pieces of art work were displayed this year. This large number revealed the many students who were willing to share their work with the student body. So many of the students entered a number of things and that spoke for the motivation the students had, said Mrs. Lawing. Many ribbons were given to individual students. First place awards were given to Joe Cop in Black and White Drawing, Jeff Garrison in Color Drawing, Michael Gardner in Painting, Joe Reid in Block Prints, Scott Bailey in Silks- creen, Kevin Gaines in Jewelry, James Hoagland in Sculpture, Matt Magee in Design, Sarah Benson in Cartoon, Tracey Stephenson in 2-D Fiber, Sean Leistica in 3-D Fiber, Carlissa Jones in Photography CMood!ThemeD and Carol Lopez in Photography CSpecial Techniquesb. l did not think l'd even get a ribbon for my work so l was real surpised when l got Best of Show, said Tracey Stephenson. Art Club again sponsored the Art Show this year. The club bought the ribbons for the winning art work. We had a table set up for people to buy the art work if they wanted to, President Bill Johnson said. Art Club sponsor Mrs. Jeanne Lawing was very pleased with the outcome of the show. l felt if the kids had been willing to sell their work a lot more would have been sold. Many people were interested in buying. Beside the Show, Art Club was involved in other activities this year. We decorated a car for the homecoming Parade. That was really fun, said Bill. The actual size of Art Club wasn't that big. Debbie Duensing said, We really didn't do all that much, but the things we did do we had fun doing. by Dolly Cunningham Art Show, Art Club 27 Jeff Laythrop flnds hlmself belng chef at the German club pICniC- -f'-:'4 ' Experience gained through foreign -- ulture ayrides, ice skating and pizza parties accompanied such activities as candy sales and a visit to the Renaissance Festival for the 250 students involved in 1963-84 foreign language clubs. Spanish club began their year with a hayride in October attracting over fifty persons. lt was a chance for people to just get to know each other at the beginning of the year, said Sophomore Jeff Miller, Spanish Club president. The club had many other activities through- out the year including a pizza party, ice skating, and a banquet that closed out the year while introducing next year's officers. No sooner had boy's basketball started when Spanish Club opened up their fund-raising concession stand. Our concession stand was probably our biggest money maker, said Jeff. German club also had many successful fund raisers whech includ- ed a magazine drive, advent calanders, goomey bears and candy bar sales. lt worked out well, said Keith Cordray, senior, German Club president, We had one of the larger clubs. In fact, we were only beat in size by Pep Club. According to Keith, one of the most successful activities sponsored by German Club was their first trip 28 Foreign Language Clubs to the Renaissance Festival. lt was the first for German Club and a really different kind of project, said Keith. French Club started the season with a hayride at Benjamin Stables. Horseback riding was followed by dinner and a hayride took place after dark. The majority of French Club members and AFS exchange students were in attendance. Like the other two foreign language clubs, French Club also had a hand at fund raisers. Their luck was unfortunate when they happened to hold their candy bar sales at the same time as marching band. French Club also participated in many activities, including ice skat- ing, a dance, and a spring outing. Each French class organized one activity for the whole club, said Senior Candy Olson. In November all three clubs united to hold an International night. International night was really fun. You got a chance to talk and meet other foreign language students out of class, said Jeff. Being in a foreign language club gave you a chance to be introduced to people who you wouldn't have met otherwise. lt was a good experience, said Senior Matt Pittman. by Kristi Marquez -. c, V, 1 5- Frem Sherl wlhfi Morrl MlCh4 Aller Eddie Wlbr Carte i-xl if X X .R . .kkh ye?

IZZCJ lthough high school is cam- monly thought of as a place for students to get involved, a large number of parents and grandpar- ents got involved in supporting students through the work of Booster Club ahd PTSA. A combination of 365 adults worked together in Booster Club to boost the morale of students and parents. They worked to support all of the groups at Oak Park including the Talking Northmen, the music department, and the athletic teams. lt is an old fallacy that we are only for sports. We are for all of the student activities at Oak Park, said Mr. Gayle Murphy, Booster Club president. A lot of schools don't have Booster Clubs and we are lucky to have one, said Sonya Bowlin, junior. I feel like they do a good job for our school. Booster Club funded itself by membership dues and fund raisers held during the year. Pizza sales dominated the money making scene when the club sold pizza kits to Oak Park families and members of the community. They helped to raise a lot of money for the school. When they work together it turns out to be for a good cause, Tammy Taylor, junior, said. The money Booster Club raised went to help various organizations. They alloted funds for the 1983 musical production of Annie , To help the community, they made a Support from parents 'boosr' morale, spirrr contribution to the Missouri Special Olympics. We are trying to make it CBooster Club? more diversified to help more organizations, said membership chairman Diane Ram- sey. A newsletter was published every month and sent to the home of every Oak Park student regard- less of a membership in Booster Club. The Booster Club has been our salvation sometimes. They do a lot of service for Oak Park, Mr. Dick Powers, activities coordinator, said. The parent, teacher, student association, a new group started ln 1982, began to evolve this year. They are a group set up to promote the welfare of children and youth in the home, school, community, and worship, according to their constitution. Mrs. Jerilee Hendrich, a founder of PTSA, was troubled with the social scene. I am concerned about students and l think that we need more parent communica- tion, she said. PTSA sponsored the after prom party and dances after sports activities. lt was good that they would sponsor a dance. The admission rate was reasonable and lt provided a good time for students, said Kim Johnson, junior. The efforts of the Booster Club and PTSA added to the year and helped to boost the morale of many people.

For the third year in a row Oak Park sponsored, along with NKC, the Fall Classlc. Preparation for the tournament, including finding enough judges and tlmekeepers, began four weeks before the tournament started. Our tournament ls one of the most prestigious because we supp- ly all judges and tlmekeepersp most do not, sald tournament chairman Marla Steele. Mr. Richard Rice, debate coach, stressed the impar- tance of such a large tournament lncludlng 38 schools. lt teaches responsibility, ever- yone ls Involved. The tournament was excltlng and prestigious. lf you have a lousy tournament you can never outllve, lt. he said. O.P. being ranked 11th out of 1500 schools In the country, had a lot to llve up to. Tom Dyhouse, judge chairman, explained, We are looked upon as one of the top schools In the nation. The pressure of that alone ls incentive to do your best. Even wlth dedlcatlon and drive, problems arose. We had to reschedule all Llncoln!Douglas debates prlor to the tournament, Dyhouse sald. Either the lndlvlduals dropped out or it needed to be reorganized. We also had problems with enough judges second round Saturday. Some judges dld not show up on tlme. But more problems crept upon the Talking Northmen during the tournament. We could not find the Sweepstakes sheets for the assem- bly, Extempt Co-Chairman Lori Stone sald. For a while everyone was frantically searching for the placlng sheets. The awards assembly was held Saturday after- noon followlng the end of the tournament when the Sweepstakes trophy was given to Ruskin High School. We had a lot to live up to. All of our award assemblies started and ended on time. Lorie added. We don't make as many mistakes as other schools. Mr. Rice doubled checked all of the sheets, some- times other schools don't. A turkey was given away for the teacher who enrolled the most students to time rounds, the winner was Mr. Hugh Crumpler and coming ln second was Mr. Bob Walsh. For every round that was judged, free candy was given away. Even with the time involved with the preparation for the tournament the work continued on. We had to make sure the coaches and the contestants were satisfied, said Tom Bassett, Extempt Chairman.

Combio 41 Rivalry ser aside as Logger is crowned queen EIT or the second time in 19 years of Cambla queens there were eight candidates. It was a surprise to have eight candidates. We had to count and recount the votes because tradi- tionally there are only seven, said Dolly Cunningham, business man- ager of Cambla. The eight candidates were an- nounced at school which started off the two weeks of waiting and anticipation. When I heard my name announced, I was really happy and surprised especially since there were eight of us, Angie Limpic explains. My friend and I screamed and were very excited. Almost Immediately the worries such as the upcoming assembly set in. Being chosen as a candidate was exciting and hard to believe, but most of all, very special to me. Ever since my freshman year I thought how neat It would be to be a candidate and it happened. Winning made it even more special to meI sald Queen Terri Rieke. The fear and anxieties of the girls mounted on the morning of the assembly, which was used to honor all eight candidates. When I woke up that morning I felt Ill because I was scared to death. Vlslons of disasters at the assembly came to mInd, said Kathy Cannon. A change in the format of introducing the candidates allowed the girls to have their close friends describe them and tell something 42 Cambla Queen special about them. I thought having our friends involved in the introductions added a nice touch and was a good idea. It told the audience more about us as individuals than just our activi- ties, said Llsa Moore. The Cambla staff wanted to do something different this year for the coronation and crowning. They decided to return to an old broken tradition of having a Cambla dance. The dance went well. It was a better atmosphere to crown the queen at than an assembly, said Toni Boxler. Having all my friends and family there with me made it special, especially during the dance forthe candidates and our fathers, said Angie. Christine Smith and Kim Snyder, who have been close friends for years, both enjoyed being up for Cambla queen. lt was very exciting, and having Kim there with me made it that much more special to me, said Christine. With over 400 students attending the dance to see who would-be crowned, the Cambia staff labeled it a success. I had fun at the dance. After the crowning everyone danced and had a good time, said Sonya Granquist. I was so surprised and thrilled when I heard my name as the queen. It was the highlight of my senior year and something I will never forget, sold Terri. by Heather Collacott f ff , ., mfr. ff pf .ff sistif' I Mary Meyer congratulates the new queen Terrl Rleke WQKU Candidate Kim Snyder.

Bill Boles waxes copy at the dispatch. Design graphics were new look of - 09 ewriting, editing, and t-squar- ng were just a few jobs that Loggers did to prepare for each and every deadline. Around deadline time, things got hectic but we always pulled through and got everything com- pleted, said Senior Michelle Berry. Before the pressures of the deadlines for Log's 13 issues, there were many hours of planning and changing to be done. A reviewer was added, the nameplate and overall look of the paper was changed. A more modern look by using graphs and cursive lettering was the staffs' goal, according to the Log Co- editor Lynne Letkowski, senior. We tried to give Log a look of continuity, said Lynne. Besides the changes in the style and content of the paper, the staff tried several new things. Passing out readership surveys to Oakies, asking for their opinions and suggestions for Log was another first. Upon completion of the surveys, the results were tallied and analyzed by the staff. The surveys showed that over- all Oak Park students wanted color photos, more coverage on anyth- ing but sports and they showed that Oakles really enjoyed reading the feature section and column, coordinated by Feature Editor, Terri Rleke, said Lynne. National awards went to four LOG staff members. Terri received third place in column writing. LOG also received third place for its design. Dianne Rohr received an honorable mention in her column writing and Richard received an honorable mention in photog- I raphy. ln state competition, Terri rev- ceived second for her column writing and also for her feature writing, Richard received third for his photography. Metropolitan journalism educa- tors of Kansas City gave Lynn an honorable mention for her sports writing. Richard and Terri each were awarded second place for photography and column writing, respectively. Terri's writing was not only noticed and appreciated by the Log readers but by the Kansas City Star and Times. They awarded her the Top Journalist Award ln Clay County. 'il was very honored and excited about it,' Terri said. lt made it seem like all the hard work I did on Log finally paid off. The night before each issue was distributed, members of the staff spent around seven hours at the dispatch, the printer of the Log. We have to proofread, make final corrrections and basically make sure everything's ready for the press, said Senior Laurie Hagen, photographer. Some of the parties were paid for by the Log's own money earned through fund raisers this past summer. Log had three car washes and raised approximately 5800, which went for parties and Log t-shirts for the whole staff. I feel the Log staff in general worked really well together.

Spotlight fails ro catch talent ractice or the actors on the stage during the musical, being in the spotlight made all of their many hours of practice worthwhile. But what many people in the audience overlooked, as well as what the spotlight failed to catch, was the hard work put into the perfor- mances of the pit orchestra. The players involved in the pit orchestra, also known as the symphonic orchestra, put in more than 100 afterschool hours of practice in preparation for the fall musical Annie . Along with the time spent after school practicing, there was also the time spent practicing in class. The practice was tiring but it was worth it, said Dennis Whittaker, senior. Practice for the musical started in mid-September and ran through mid-November. As soon as the musical was over, practice started for the Messiah, which was held in mid-December. The major reason for the after school practice sessions was the fact that in the musical, a winds section is required to play. Since the band and orchestra classes are separate, they met after school to practice together, said Mrs. Barbara Hale, orchestra director. The two major orchestras at Oak Park were the freshman orchestra and the symphonic orchestra. The symphonic orchestra was composed of mainly sophomores, juniors, and seniors. However, there were a few freshmen in it. There were approximately 60 people in the two orchestras combined. To me, the best part of orchestra was preparing for con- tests, said Dennis, you have to discipline yourself in order to reach the goals you establish for yourself. When you meet those goals, you feel on top of the worId! Besides practicing for the musical and the Messiah, the orchestra also practiced for all-district, Honors and All-State auditions. Twenty Oak Park students were members ofthe All-District orchestra. The auditions were held at Oak Park this year. Those chosen for Honors orches- tra were picked by Mrs. Barbara Hale. Students from all over the area were picked to represent the school at a workshop at UMKC, said Mrs. Hale. We had a very outstanding group of kids this year. Four students from Oak Park made the All-State orchestra this year: Monty Carter, Tim Mertzlufft, Darrell Tucker and Dennis Whitaker. Monty, Tim, and Dennis were members of the All-State orchestra last year also. The All-State orches- tra holds a concert at Tan-Tar-A each year. Monty Carter, so- phomore, said, lt was really neat to meet all the people down there that are so much like you. Even though the practicing can be tedious at times, the rewards of a superb performance were satisfy- ing. I love music, and l love the applause after each performance, said Chris Hensel, sophomore. That's what makes it worthwhile for me. by Chrlstle Slebert Band, Orchestra 47 ff M F ' x ' by ' -. V M K I 0 ,Q 4- . vgf5?1YW'4safwx? E .12 ,. wx?

Llsa Dunlap and KFISTI Elliott perform In a quartet at the Fine Arts Showcase. Orchestra performances AQ rgonlzlng over 200 students in seven different vocal groups was no easy job, but vocal director, Mr. Bill Grace, managed to do lt. Being involved ln vocal groups meant many hours of practice. Oak Street Slngers, Northern Lights and Northmen Express began the year by starting practice two weeks before school started. They proc- tlced for two hours everyday. To some students who were Involved In fall sports this meant they went to football practice for awhile, then Oak Street proctice and then back to football practice, sold Mr. Grace. After school started, practices were held after school or at lunch. Then proctlces were once a week. To the students Involved in the vocal deportment there was o feeling of unity. The vocal department is one big family, sold John Pickert, a sophomore ln Northern Lights. Unlty is an important element in the vocal department. The Oak Street Singers and Northern Lights performed at the Renaissance Festival ln September. Mr. Grace divided the groups so half of Oak Street and half of Northern Lights would perform together one day then another day the other half would perform. I did lt that way so the two groups would get to know each other. There was some competition between the groups, but that mode each group do better. They had someone breathing down their backs, sold Mr. Grace. Mr. Grace isjust about the most fantastic guy. It seemed he devot- ed himself entirely to music. He is a neat person, sold John. Senior Kathy Orr agreed. He truly loved what he was doing. He must have because of all he had to put into it. Experiencing good times was what it was all about, according to many Ookie vocalists. We didn't always take it seriously, but that's what made it fun, sold Sophomore Kelly Gowens. Oak Park's vocal departments included the Oak Street Singers, Northern Lights, Northmen Express, Acapella Choir, Concert Choir, Sophomore Choir and Freshmen Choir. Being involved in these groups had been a goal for many students since elementary school age. I saw Oak Street Singers at my elementary school. That's where I first got the idea, sold Kelly. We sang at a few of the schools in the area. This was where a lat of the kids first saw what the vocal department was about, Mr. Grace sold. And for some 200 Oak Park singers that grade school exper- ience was just the beginning. by Dolly Cunningham 'We are family' so y over 200 - ingers 50 Vocal Groups Oak Street Singers: Front row - Todd Reed, Geoff Ellis, Chris Jessee, Dennis Whittaker, Mark McCann.

Hours of practicing, pre-per- formance jitters, and the feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment after a good performance were the thoughts of Junior Stephanie Kneuven, a member of The Northern Lights. All the choir groups performed at various events and competed in several contests during the year. Oak Street Singers, the chamber choir, competed in the Show Choir Festival at Maryville and won first place. I was very pleased with the groups' performance, said Mr. Bill Grace, the vocal music director. lt was the fourth consecutive year we've won which is quite an accomplishment. Another major competition was the Maryville Choir Contest in which they rated a one, the best rating possible. Our best performance was at the Maryville Contest, said Senior Toni Boxler, an Oak Street member. Everyone had confidence and a lot of enthusiasm which helped us to do so well, she added. The groups performed at elementary school, for senior citizens, at the Dinner I-lorn, for the Chamber of Commerce and around the Mayor's Christmas Tree. The Northern Lights and Oak Street, were the participants at the Renaissance Festival performances. The groups traveled around the festival and along the way stopped and sang songs and enjoyed the festival. I really enjoyed participating in the Renaissance Festival because it was different and unique, said Senior Kathy Orr, We were dressed like royalty. Over a month of rehearsing was spent on an annual event - The Messiah. Each year, the perform- ance gets larger as more alumni return to participate, which is a special part of The Messiah, according to Mr. Grace. Another special performance was competing in Missouri District and State contests, which involved a lot of hard work and practice, practice, practice, according to those involved. Acapella put in a lot of time practicing for state. That included chamber choir, girls and boys glee and madrigalsf' said Senior Terri Rieke, a member of the Acapella choir. My favorite part of being in Oak Street was the Oak Street retreat, said Senior Laura Sosa, We all just sat around and talked and got to know each other. The extra long Christmas break, due to the bad weather, affected the vocal music departments rehearsals for Districts. We practiced really hard for Districts because we had missed a full week of school and practice. We needed to make up for the lost time, said Julie Linscott, senior and a member of the Acappella choir. I feel all the practice really paid off, especially when we did our best, said Terri. We improved a lot over the year. l feel we got better after each performance, said Senior Dennis Whittaker, a member of Oak Street. by Heather Collacott Vocal Performances 53 Z2 fy 44. 4 fi!

Audience doubles their pleasure with rwa wo heads are better than one - especlally when they're red and curly. This year In the Oak Park production of Annle , the lead role of Annie was doublecast, with both Sonya Granqulst and Myllssa Yazel playlng the curly red-headed orphan. Why two Annles?? Because both were very, very good and to keep one of them from playing the part would've been unfalr, sold Director Blll Grace. Both girls felt playing Annle was a 'dream came true' and were very excited when they learned they had gotten the part. Sharing the lead was fun, but sharlng the praise and glory made lt hard, said Sonya. Sonya and I have always been close frlends and I thought of it as another way to do something together, sald Myllssa. Annle was performed Nov. 17, 18, 19 and 21. The glrls drew to see who would play Annle for each performance. The other would, ln the meantlme, be playlng Duffy, one of the orphans. On Nov. 16 the cast performed to a sold out matinee forthe school and each glrl played Annle for half the show. I was really nervous performlng In the matlnee, said Sonya, especially slnce everyone had already warmed up and I had to come out In the second half and NDIS S play Annle. The performances went really well, I was very proud of the entire cast, said Grace. The rlghts to perform Annle cost 51795. The budget was lower thls year due to Broadway Produc- tlons being 'ln the red'. But after the sell out shows and the extra performance on Monday nlght, the productlon pulled out of the hole by S4,000, accordlng to Grace. lt was hard to adjust my Image of the Broadway productlon of Annle to ours with the lack of facllltles, but I felt It stlll was a very good productlon, sald Grace. An extra prop used were the llghts on the wall In the theatre. They were In the shape of the skyline of New York Clty and enhanced the 'NYC' scene, sald Davld Gual, stage manager. The scene would've been 'nothing' without them. The stage crew dld an excellent job. They moved props qulckly and quletly and kept the shows runnlng smoothly, commented Grace. Were there any problems wlth two glrls playlng the lead. Not according to Mr. Grace and the two Annles. I have doublecast before and sworn I would never do If again, but I am glad I did, sald Mr. Grace, Both glrls worked harder, helped each other and actually learned from watchlng each other. by Heather Collacott Muslcal 55 ,yf 4 1 , f Q 1 h .

Fool's, a comedy by Neil Simon, contained twelve literal fools. Leon Tolchinsky, played by David Gaul, was a teacher responsi- ble for trying to save the citizens lacking mentality. The play was fun to do because it was so stupid, David said. Sometimes during rehearsal we would just start laughing at each other. Laughing seemed to be con- tagious throughout the play from those who participated right down to the audiences, according to Kim Britton, senior. But what was sometimes startling was no response from the audience when laughter was expected. Opening night I delivered a line that everyone in the play felt would get a laugh, Shelly Tucking said, but when I delivered it, no one responded. l didn't know what to do. Bill Allee, stage manager added, The audience's reaction is very important, especially for a comedy. Laura Parker and Davld Gaul seal thelr love and break the curse In FooIs. The cast expects to be laughed at, and when the laughs don't come, they think, 'what happened? ' Despite opening-night jitters at the prospect of a non responsive audience, the play ran successfully for four nights due to the effort and dedication of Ms. Risa Hille and Ms. Deborah Pyle according to many members of the cast. Ms. Hille and Ms. Pyle were everything in the play from publicity to gathering costumes, David said. They care about the people in the play very much. I have spent more time with them the last four years than l have with my parents. Panic almost arose opening night due to an unknown person who pulled the fire alarm during performance. My first reaction was to jump up and stop it, Vice principal Joe Spruttye said. But most people didn't even notice it. It's a sad occurrence but the characters in the play covered for it. Spending time working on the play took dedication and hard practices for two months but to the cast and crew, work was never funnier.

Open sign ups were done away with and only Pep Club members chose the first list of condidotes. From those 61, only the senior girls were ollowed to vote on the seven finalist. But still following tradition, the entire school voted in the 1984 St. Pot's King, Andre Hardy. I thought it was really unfair thot only Pep Club decided who could run, sold candidate John O'Neil. lt's something the whole school should have o port of. The new woy of voting didn't dampen the spirit of the event or of the seven condidotes which included Shane Durham, Scott Guevel, Andre Hardy, Ray Henning, Lance Hulse, Kyle Kovanough and John O'Neil. The St. Pot's assembly was Morch 9 in which the condidotes were introduced ond told about the person they most admire. l'll never forget the look on Mr. MacIsen's face when they on- nounced he was who I most admired, said Ray. The St. Pot's dance wos held on Morch 16, with a sound system provided by Don Thomas. The condidotes were introduced and escorted by their dotes and the winners were announced. Two of the candidates along with their dotes accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Mark Mocken on o triple date on the eve of the dance. It was really fun 'doting' with one of your teachers, said Lonce I-Iulse. The couples went out to dinner, attended the donce and bowled ofterword. For some of the candidates it was instant shock to be chosen os o finalist. I thought it was greot to be chosen out of all the guys in the senior class. I always thought it wos neot because it's the only thing for guys, sold Roy. Many memories will be held through the 1984 St, Pot's King event. Like the old cliche, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. I thought if I won, greot, and if I didn't, thot would be fine too, sold the 1984 St. Pot's King, Andre Hordy. by Kristi Marquez St, Pot's King 63 1 2 if Wm af ,v M 1 'R f ,jf ,ff f Q' ,, ,Q ,..,,.f.U WHS!

Even though we had problems with the planning l feel it turned out well, said Prom Committee Chair- man, Kaylene Holt, l had many compliments. The planning of the prom started with the theme 'lEvening in Paradise. This year's prom was unique, said sponsor Mr. Mark Macken, in that they stuck with the theme from the food, to decorations, and centerpieces. Attending prom were 282 cou- ples including the 13 couples competing for prom royalty. Crowned royalty were seniors Terri Rieke and John 0'Neil. Prom was special in itself, but winning prom royalty made it like 'the prom you always dream about as a little girl', said Terri. The band also played 'Open Arms,' my favorite song, which made it even greater, she added. I was surprised when l found out we had been signed up for prom royalty and happy, said Senior Michelle Berry, candidate. lt was fun and added a special touch to the evening. Most people seemed to really enjoy themselves, soid Mr. Mack- en. They were dancing all evening, which hasn't been the case for several years. Many prom-goers commented that they felt the band was excellent, said Kaylene. They played a variety of music that everyone could dance to. Something new we tried this year was having a dessert bar with over 5 selections of desserts, said Sponsor Mrs. Pam Petitt. On top of the dessert display was a cruise ship carved out of ice, explained committee member Bonnie Gere. lt was really neat and went along with the theme. After eating and dancing at the Inn, 28 Oakies attended the Midnight Special held at William Jewell College. This was an event set up to give students a place to go after prom to have fun without the pressure of drugs and aIcohol, according to Mrs. Jerrilee Hendricks, a sponsor for the activity. There were snacks, games, movies and swimming for their entertainment, she added, Only having a few students attend was disappointing after last yeor's attendance of over 100. We were counting on more attendance this year because we used students' input in the planning of it. Prom costs started with S28 for tickets, around S5 for flowers, S40 for a tux and some dresses were over 5100. For couples who wanted to go in class, they spent S50 for fancy cars or limousines. l'm really glad l went this year, said Senior Todd Comer. lt costs a lot of money, but it is well worth it.

It was o really uplifting, touching, speech that will stay with me for years to come. From uplifting speeches to special honors and awards, seniors knew the end was near when Baccalaur- eate and Honors night rolled around. Several new things were tried in these final ceremonies of the year. Instead of the traditional rectan- gular program, the programs at Baccalaureate were shaped in the form of a leaf. l've worked on Baccalaureate all year and felt it was very organized and better than in past years, said Kelly Kirby, Chairper- son. We designed a different cover shaped in the form of a leaf. It cost S150 just to get the leaf cut out. We got the money from the pizza sales. A lot of work was put into it. Many seniors did not know what the Baccalaureate service was. I was asked what Baccalaur- eate was over and over. I told them it was a blessing for seniors for their future, said Kelly. I am surprised Baccalaureate is still around. I think the reason it is not very popular is because seniors do not have to go. Besides being inspired, seniors also took time to receive awards for their achievements at the annual honors night. Mr. Norman was awarded to John -O'Neal. He was also awarded the D.A.R. Citizenship Award, along with a S50 check. Toni Boxler received Miss Norma. She also was given a vocal music award and a speech and debate award for best actress. Both were selected by the senior class as the people who had done the most for Oak Park during their four years. The Big Blue Award, given by Student Council, was awarded to Mrs. Judy Ellis for her work in Booster Club. Shane Durham was awarded male athlete of the year. He played in twelve sports seasons, including football, wrestling and baseball. He is presently being scoured by professional baseball teams. Shane received Mr, Wres- tler and M.V.P. for baseball. Dennis Whittaker swept several awards. He received a vocal music award, an instrumental music award, an Honor Society award, receiving a total of 54,000 for his music scholarships and S100 for his Honor Society scholarship. Mr. Business was given to Rodney Coe and Miss Business was awarded to Ann Hickson because they had the most business credits along with the highest grades. Stan Allen received the highest monetary scholarships totaling S150,000 from the Air Force, followed by Jeff Lathrop receiving 540,000 from ROTC. The night ended with certificates of recognition to the top 151, of the class. by Debbie Russell Honors night, Baccalaureate 67 Senlor Goylo Dlebold smlles In antlclpo- tlon of turnlng ln her cap and gown to recelve her diploma.

A A ' Over 3, OOO hi! OP ro see 1984 rods ver three thousand par- ents, teacher, friends, and family members crowded into Oak Park's big gymnasium on the evening of May 24. The event - graduation. This year, a rare occurence happened. Seven seniors achieved a perfect 4.0 grade point average, making all seven of them valedictorians, heading the class of 1984. lt was exciting and an honor being one of the seven, said Dianne Rohr. It was like a reward for all my work. Stan Allen, Pat Quigley, Shawn Storm, Duane Tllus, Veda Walker, and Robbin Wickham rounded out the top seven graduating seniors. Following tradition, John O'Neil, senior class president, presented Dr. Dan Kohler, principal, and the school with the senior gift, an Apple ll Computer for the attendance office. The computer is complete with keyboard, tape disk, tape drive, along with a printer. We, the '64 senior class, chose this gift because it will be useful in this approaching age of technology, John explained. The gift was the first senior gift to ever be used before gradua- tion. lt was used in calculating the senior grade point averages. Dr. Tom Willett, a professor of communication at William Jewell College, spoke to the senior class The graduating class listens as Tonl Boxler sings a solo, Laurie's song. and the audience about non- verbal communication and its importance in everyone's lives. I wish all of you, personally and professionally, all the very best of luck in life and communica- tion, were his final words to the graduating class. What thoughts were going through the seniors' minds at graduation? I was having mixed feelings about graduating, said senior Kristen Nelles. Leaving Oak Park will be sad but very happy at the some time. After four years of attending this school, l've grown to really like it, said senior Jami Thomas. l'll miss it. The invocation and benediction were given by Dennis Wittaker and Andrew Gately, respectively. Walking up on stage was the most nervous but exciting moment of my life, said Larry Roe about receiving his diploma. l've always looked forward to that moment, and now it's over. lt didn't really 'hit me' until l received my diploma, that I had actually graduated, said Joann Lollar. The 491 graduates were the first class to attend Oak Park for four years. As a special class, the 1984 graduates received a challenge to succeed as Dr, Dan Kohler named them the messengers to Garcia! by Heather Collacott Graduation 69 --'12 -fr '.f24?1.L:f 1: -. -' .

These are just a few of the older superstitions that are still left around, but Oak Park athletes made up many new superstitions to fit each sports season. For instance, John White had to wear the some sweat band on his left wrlst as well as a batting glove on his left hand or he felt he wouIdn't play well. Most of the boys basketball players had the same superstitions, such as, the majority of the team ate out before each basketball game. I drove myself to every game after eating, said Kevin Wansing, and parked in the some place before every game. Coach Jerry Crews had a similar superstition. He wouIdn't park in the second parking spot before a game. Golfer Russ Madsen had an unique superstition. I swallowed a live goldfish before every home golf match, he said. Many superstitions had to do with the clothes the athletes wore, particularly socks. I wore three pairs of socks at every baseball game, said Doug Parker. On my right foot I wore three socks with a red design on them, and three solid white socks on my left foot. -. . U I have to wear my favorite blue and yellow striped socks in every track meet, said Candy Olson. I also ran with a straw in my mouth during track practice. Jeanne Janchar wore a maroon bandana around her left calf during meets as well as practices. I wore my blue underwear under my uniform during every game, said David Lee. I also chewed a pack of juicy fruit gum before every football game. Tim Konecny had a similar superstition. I wore the same half shirt that said 'ls there life after football practIce?' I also wore my blue underwear during every game. Then there were those people who still believed in the older superstitions. I won't cross a black cat's path, said Lance Hulse. lf ir's in my path, I'd go out of my way to avoid the cat. Kyle Kavanaugh said he would not walk under a ladder that's leaning against a wall. Coaches had many different superstitions. Coach Darrell Cotter won't cut his hair during a winning streak. And Coach Rich Brill always carried the same handkerchief to all the boys' varsity basketball games. The way the athletes performed, the special socks, and wrlst bands, the eating of fish, and wearing of blue underwear, and all the other superstitions must have worked. by Debbie Russell Supersritions - are the y for real?

Player of the Year was given to Senior David Lee, by the Dispatch-Tribune. He was also named All Northland linebacker and fullback. I was very happy and excited to receive these awards, said Lee. In the offense department nine players were named all- conference. Clark Bloomer, senior, Lee, and Kevin Wansing, senior made first team. Second team members included Scott Guevel, Jlm Morgan, Jeff Mclntyre, and John Ryan, all senlors. Honorable mentions went to Seniors Joe Hadsell and Darren Kuhn. There were also nine defensive players named all-conference. First team members were Bloomer, Lee, Wanslng and Senior Rodney Coe. Paul Kirtley, senior, was named second team. Paul Smith and Tlm Konecny, both seniors, received honorable men- tions. The 1983 Coaches' Awards were as follows: most valuable, offense - Guevel: most valuable, defense - Lee, most valuable lineman - Bloomer, most Inspirational - Ryan, and 'the coaches special' went to Juan Uribe, for his dedication and effort. Bloomer was the only Oakle to receive All-Metro honors. He achieved this for both his offensive and defensive skills. I was rather surprised and very excited to receive these awards, said Bloomer. Lee had an impressive record of 44 tackles with 41 assists. Shane Durham, senior, was next with 29 tackles and 23 assists. Guevel made the longest run C70 yardsb, recep- tion C62 yardsb, kickoff return C99 yardsb, and punt return C15 yardsb. Ryan was credited with the longest pass of 62 yards and Junior Bob Trester's 33 yard field goal was the longest of the season. Bloomer and Lee were the co-captains. Lee was chosen Mr. Football by the student body. I was very proud of the team's performance. I felt we did great, but should've done better, though, said Lee. Kuhn led the running game's total number of yards with 141 rushes, totaling 599 yards. He averaged 4.2 yards per carry. Lee had eight touchdowns on the season, with Guevel following right behind him scoring seven. Guevel stacked up a total of 358 yards on returning punts, averaging 14.3 yards on each return. He also carried the ball 19 times for 252 yards, the highest average per carry of the team. Ryan completed 38 of 96 passes for 829 yards, including six touch- down passes. The punter, Guevel, kicked 34 times for 1035 total yards, averag- Ing 30.4 yards per punt. Coach Crews treated us more like adults this year. That's why I feel we did better in individual and team performance, said Guevel. by Heather Collacott CDTTCDTS Record , awards become individual victories 78 Football Coach Crews goes over some last minute plays at half-tlme.

The new tradition of having a Court Warming Queen and an Invitational Queen, in only its second year, was continued this year, but with a few changes. There was controversy with last year's Queen candidates because all of the candidates had previously been up for o queen. This year the candidates couldn't have been up for any other queen. The idea behind having a Court Warming Queen and an Invitation- al Queen was to recognize the girls, who throughout the season, had supported and contributed to the teams. The teams picked the candidates and also voted on the queen. lt was a neat feeling - being picked by the team. It made me feel really specIal, said Kim Rlemensnlder, senlor. Klm was crowned Miss Invitation- al before the finals at the Oak Park lnvltatlonal on Saturday, February 11. Amy Trembly was crowned Court Warming Queen during half time of the Oak Park vs. Lee's Summit game. To add to the 102 Court Warming Queen excitement of the crowning, Oak Park won the game. I was really happy to be nominated and winning topped it off! Winning was the most exciting part of my senior year, said Amy. The event was held on Valen- tlne's Day again this year. It was neat that it was on Valentine's Day because we all wore dresses to match the occa- slon, said Valerie Fowler, senior. The girls were also recognized at an assembly for the Winter Sports athletes. Everything went really well. Nobody tripped on the way up or anything horrible like that, said Mrs. Jane Stone, Pep Club sponsor. Nervousness played a big part in the experience. I was excited about it, but I was really nervous, said Kristen Adam- son. Being up for queen was an experience some of the girls had thought about for a long time. Carllssa Jones said, I remember my junior year when they had the flrst Invitational Queen, I thought - I'd really like to be up for that next year, so I was really excited about being nominated. by Dolly Cunningham 1 , '-wha., V .- I in .- .mmf A w 'v--tg Candldate Beckle Hein Candldate Valerie Fowler B' ft ?

I was very pleased with the whole season, said Coach Darrel Bland, especially how it ended. lt was a real thrill working with the athletes I had to work with. The team finished 19th out of the 46 teams that were entered in the state tournament, having two third place finishers, Shane Durham and Shane Weber. lt was particularly difficult for Weber, said Coach Bland about the state tournament. He had some state jitters. He lost his first round, but came back to win third place. It was too bad he lost his first round because after he got over his jitters, l feel he could have come in first place. To take third Weber pinned his opponent in the second round. Durham lost by a pin in the semi-finals to the winner of the overall state tournament. He then 104 Wrestling pinned his opponent in the third place match. The sectionals went just about as expected, according to Coach Bland. I thought we could win one more round. Jimmy Morgan had just gotten well from pneumonia and just started wrestling again after Districts, he said. State combined great exci- tement, as well as a lot of hard work, said many wrestlers. The physical training that the wrestlers needed for state was basically already accomplished by the time they got to state, said Coach Bland. lt was all mental preparation that the wrestlers had to work on. The highlight for the season for me was both Shane's third place wins, by pins, said Coach Bland. The highlight for the wrestlers was probably beating Park Hill in a dual meet by one point. by Debbie Russell Various paths lead to rifle YY t was one of the most exciting things that has happened to me in high school, said Shane Durham about winning third place at the State wrestling meet. lt was especially exciting because it was an individual effort, sold Shane. Both Shane Weber and Durham took third place at state. Both arrived at their victories vin a rather round about mannerf l lost my first round, said Weber. l wasn't quite ready for it. l was very nervous and my blood was flowing real fast, which made it hard to concen- trate. Durham won his first two rounds, lost his next one, and won the next two, the last by a pin. Training was hard. lt required many exercises and running, as well as weight loss. We had to train real hard right from Shane Weber stands with a look of pride after wlnnlng thlrd place at state. the beginning, said Durham. Coach Bland said we had a good chance of going to state, so that helped me want to push myself harder. l had to lose 21 pounds. Other than all the hard training and hurting of my social Iife, sold Weber, the season was a big success for me as well as the team. by Debbie Russell IL Y 'YK . if aff K , ,N ff ' , , 5 , ' ,Aujagg 5 WV. , , fx 2. 4 ' If WgC,w4.V V f K , 5 f, V fx X ' Q -2 M f ff f X' f.

Breaking the state record was, l would say, the highlight of the season, said Coach Jerry Crews, along with winning the Northland Classic - because that's our meet. The members of the state champion relay team were Seniors Chuck Oudin, Andre Hardy, Steve Altenhofen, and Scott Guevel with Paul Smith as an alternate. It was a lot of hard work and practice but well worth it, according to Hardy. The teom's season overall was 'a success' according to Coach Crews, We had a really good team attitude, he added. During the year the Ookies placed first at Southeast High School Tiger!Knights Relays and tied for first with South in their own Northland Classic. They were second in the Rack- hurst relays and ploced third in the Lee's Summit Relays, William Chrismon Relays, ln conference and district competiiton. We achieved all we could, said Coach Crews. We were on top of all the meets, ran very well, and were consistent. We made a good showing in all the relay meets and at conference and districts, sold Oudin. Sprints were the strongest aspect of our team, without a doubt, Coach Crew added. Other record breakers were the 800 meter relay team with the same members as the 400 meter team. They broke the school record with a time of 1:29. Senior Mike Hayes's time of 420.9 broke a school and district record on the 1600 meter run. Conference champions were the 400 meter relay team, 800 meter relay team, Hayes in the 800 meter run, Oudin in the 100 meter dash and Guevel in the lang jump. Qualifying for state were the 400 and 800 meter relay teams, Guevel in the longjump and Hayes in the 800 meter run. The 400 meter relay team placed first, the 800 meter relay team placed eighth, Guevel placed fifth and Hayes placed seventh. I think we did a good job at state, especially our 11th place for the team, said Crews. by Heather Collacott ecard falls ro rela y team at stare meer 110 Boys Track Scott Guevel takes first in the long jump at district meet with a leap of 23' 6 1,211 , Y if X5 f 7 n .W . 2 , . 4 , 1 f ii'.,,f,4M 4 rg X ,. if ., i I i I i i T .

The team placed first at South- east High School Tigerfknights Relays and the William Chrisman Relays, and captured the confer- ence title. Winning conference was one of our major goals of the year. We've been close for the last two years and just really wanted to win it, said track Coach Fred Kester. The girls team had not won conference since 1980 and Coach Kester had never won conference, since he became the coach in 1981, so he felt it was really special. Leading up to the conference meet were four dual meets in which the Oakies were victorious in three. ln the first meet they lost to Lee's Summit 58-78, but came back to defeat Park Hill, Winnetonka, and Blue Springs by the score of 71-58, 91-24, 88-58, respectively. Winning the three meets con- secutively gave us the confidence and determination we needed for the conference meet, said Junior Jody Dozier. At districts the teom placed second overall with individual champions. Senior Karel Smith won the discus with a throw of 109'9 . The 1600 meter relay team of Sophomore Lisa High, Freshmen Michelle Twitt, Sophomore Tasha Doak, and Dozier set a school record of 4:09.22 that captured first for them. Breaking the school record was really special, especially since it gave us first at districts, said High. Qualifying for state were Junior Patty Wilcox in the high jump, Smith in the discus, the 8200 meter relay team and the 800 meter relay team. Wilcox, who had a sprained ankle during the meet felt it didn't really affect her that much, especially when she came away with a fifth place finish with a jump of 5'8 . lt hurt a lot before I began to jump but didn't really affect my jumping except that l couldn't warm up enough, she explained. Smith placed 11th in the discus hamps girls break records, rake Big Six rifle 112 Girls Track with a throw of 109'8 . The 8200 meter reloy teom of Senior Anne Silvas, High, Doak, and Senior Lori Ward, placed 10th at state. Their time of 10:11.22 set a new school record. Sophomore Tiffany Esslinger, Senior Jeanne Janchar, Sophomore Christine Kirk, and Dozier made up the 800 meter relay teom that also placed 10th with o time of 1:47.02 New records were broken by several of the Oakies. Wilcox set a new record of 15:87 in the 100 meter hurdles. ln the 800 meter hurdles Ca new event? Doak set the record of 49:8. The some 8200 meter relay team that qualified for state also set a new record of 10:11.22. Conference was our best meet since we wanted to win so bad and did, but it was extra special because it was our birthday present to Coach Kester, said Wilcox. Our depth in sprints, quarter milers, and balance in field events were what made us a strong team, Caoch Kester summed up. by Heather Collacott 1- ? ,,,.

After all, they were following the 1983 state champions. One player who met up to those expectations was Senior Brett Keever, Leading the team In stolen bases, homeruns and RBl's, Keever credits his success to the team always being behind me and giving that extra push. Reviewing one of his favorite accomplishments Keever remembers the Oak Park vs Truman game. lt was the most exciting. I hit a grand slam that tied the game, he said. The start of the season presented some difficulty for Keever. The first ten times or so up to bat I couldn't hit anything and l got really down. The team kept pushing me and having faith in me. The coach also showed his support by not pulling me out of the line up, said Keever. Concluding the season, Keever ended with a batting average of 880, flve homeruns, six stolen bases and 18 RBl's. Although Keever's future is still a llttle unclear, he'd like to play college ball and wouldn't mind making the blg bucks in the big league, but for hlm It's stlll a big dream. by Krlstl Marquez Brett Keever ,M we Jr W W V f Brett Keever connects for a base hlt.

The Annual Spring Sports Banquet had that in store, recognizing those who excelled. Shane Durham, senior, received many of the high honors. He was chosen not only the Most Valuable Player but was also named the team captain. Durham was also voted Mr. Baseball by the entire student body. l was both surprised and honored by the awards, said Durham after the banquet. Over all of the athletic school year Durham also participated in football and wrestling as well as baseball: At the senior honors night 120 Baseball he was named the 1964 Athlete of the Year by Baseball Coach Jim Derry. Durham also received a place on first team All-Conference, while other seniors, Mark Roggy and Brett Keever both received second team All-Conference honors. lt made all of the sweat and hard work feel worth something, said Keever. The team as a whole nailed down many accomplishments, A total of twenty-three homeruns were hit by the team. Tap hitters included Roggy, Keever and other seniors, Pat Quigley and Doug Parker, who all kept their batting averages above the .BOO mark. The team totaled over one hundred RBl's.

Jeff Gilbert takes a cut at a curveball. Baseball 121 itching is the name of the game and that was never more true for Oak Park softball than this year. With excellent pitching in the '84 season, the softball team stayed close in every game until the end. The '84 season was disappointing to many due to the excessive amounts of rain and a low win and loss record but a surprising pitching staff arose according to Coach Linda Jones. Together Senior Fawn Stetson and Junior Candy Proisewater made up the best pitching staff in Oak Park's history. Stetson's earned run average was 2.52 while Praisewater's was 1.82 whose combined effort kept the team afloat until the late innings. We were never out of a game until the very end, Coach Jones said, because the pitchers kept us in. Team spirit was difficult to keep going toward the end, according to Jones, but due to the extra effort from the pitching staff the spirit kept moving. But the most important aspect to playing softball, in the girl's eyes, was what they could do Merritt Benoit takes a cut at the ball for the team. I really didn't know I was getting much recognition, Praise- water said. I was just doing my best and working for it. No one should, and I didn't want to get my own recognition - just wanted to help out the best I could for the team. The pitchers helped the team by keeping the earned run average under two runs per game. I felt that I did really well in pitching, Stetson said, and I only batted once and that was a double so I was really happy. Stetson finished the season with a 2-6 win-loss record while Praise- water finished with a 2-5 record. This year differed from last year in the area of hitting so the pitching was even more significant. We didn't have as good hitting as we did last year and we always had to play catch up, Stetson said. We had to get the lead from the start. The girls did get the advantage with pitching but pitching turned out not to be the deciding factor. by Lisa Woody itc hi n g staff credited best in OP history 122 Softball Fawn Stetson delivers a fast ball. ,yt P fn Q f7 Vai f ef W 4, 7, if 1 wg V .

Due to the ice storm and the excessive amounts of rain the girls' softball team practiced only once on the field before their first game. The rain was the saddest pOrT of the season, said Coach Linda Jones, because we practiced for six weeks in the gym and there is only so much you can do there. Many games were also called off because of the rain which effected the girl's spirit. lt just made getting excited about a game hard, said Candy Praisewater, Since you didn't know when to get up. We just had always try to be ready whenever the rain would let us. Besides the girls' preparing for a game the field also had to be prepared which the team and Mrs. Joens were responsible for, Our first six games were played here before we went away, Mrs. Jones said, sa we spent a great deal of time preparing the diamond and chalking the infield. The girl's worked on and off the field but most felt it was worth their effort. l gained a lot of experience, said Fawn Stetson, and how to play catch-up ball. But the most important was to never give up. By Lisa Woody ,NA .wmwmwww Sharon Cain attempts to undo what the weather did to the field. .i..gcX-Q-ESQ? . . E. A NE. f.

We were successful in thot we were in procticolly every gome ond we were very competitive. The girls were in every gome until the lote innings due to pitching occordlng to Cooch Lindo Jones. The pitching stoff consisted of Condy Proisewoter ond Fown Stetson who combined their effort to create Ook Pork's best pitching stoff. An eorly win for the Ookies come ogoinst Trumon which went into extro innings. The most exciting game wos when we beot Trumon ogoin in extro innings by only one run,' soid Stetson, Both gomes we ployed ogoinst Trumon went into extro innings ond won by only one run. Seven gomes thot were ployed were only lost by one run such os the gome ogoinst Winnetonko in which the Ookies lost 6-7 which morked the sixth loss in o row. But most of the ployers never goined enough confidence from the beginning occordlng to Proise- woter. I don't think the teom ever reolly thought of ourselves os winners. We just kept losing confidence ond we could never put our offense ond defense together. Despite the excellent' pitching the teom received, the teom wosn't oble to put it together in the lote innings. I think we hod o greot defensive teom but compored to lost yeor we hod o lot more hits coming off the bot, soid Coin.

Senior Amy Trembly led the team in runs batted in with ten and Julie Mock followed close behind with eight, and a leading .800 batting average. The bat of Mock was again active with three triples and five doubles. Wendy Cook followed close behind with a .278 average and Sharon Cain had .269 average. This year's personal statistics were above average especially in the area of pitching, according to Coach Linda Jones. Senior Fawn Stetson led the pitching rotation with a 2.34 earned run average, while Junior Christy Porter had an earned run average of 2.10. While most schools in the state of Missouri were preparing for State in the Fall, the girls' softball team could not take part because it is a spring sport. lt was really hard from previous year's because we did not have an opportunity to go to State at all, Coach Jones said. The team this year was not disappointed because they never knew State. Those who are eligible for State hold their softball season in the Fall, but the N.K.C. District decided to leave softball in the Spring so as not to disturb volleyball in the Fall. Leaving softball in the Spring did not disturb the girls' because they looked forward to the Blue Springs Tournament instead of State, ac- cording to Steteson, who received the Most Valuable Player award at the Spring Banquet. Senior Amy Trembly received the Miss Softball title which added to her already long list of accomplishments, such as a record 128 put-outs. But to many, the awards were not the most significant element during the season. Aside from the fact ofjust loving to play, said Praisewater, the thing l've learned this year that l never really believed was that every game, or every sport, is a mental attitude. Your mind decides how your body is going to do. By Lisa Woody Softball 127 XX ery lnconsistent wos the woy the golf teom wos described this yeor by Cooch Gus Boker ond ployers.

The 15 girl squad only contained five seniors, four of whom were returning from last year's squad. There are usually at least six returning girls each year, if not more. Because of the fact that there were so many juniors, next year will be a far more exper- ienced squad, added Miss Luyben. The squad performed at the home varsity football games during the fall with the Marching Band. Then, with the help of Pep Band, they performed at boy's and girI's varsity home basketball games, several volleyball games and competitions outside of school. The best places to perform were the ones with the mast people, said pom-pon captain Rhonda James, senior. lt is so much easier to project in front of a big crowd. Pep Band member Greg Cooper, junior, said, lt was a great way to see all of the games and other events which we performed at. The 55 member band traveled to MU with pom-pon who was always accompanied by either Marching Band or Pep Band, depending on the event, because they danced only to live music. However, with the increasing cost of busing, they may have to resort to recorded music within the near future, according to Miss Luyben. Pep Band was also made up of a younger group than usual this year. They only had four seniors among them. The younger ages of the members had no evident effect on their performances, said Mr. Pat White, Pep Band director. The 1983-84 Pep Band was just as outstanding as in the past. Pep Band practiced two morn- ings a week for their game Young groups Hno' consistency through - aturity 134 Pom Pan Pep band supplies music and splrlt at a home game.

Along with the games, Pep Band played at the sectional wrestling meet, traveled to area elementary schools for concerts and a few members played the National Anthem at home games. I liked the traveling we did, said Chris Abke, senior, I also enjoyed playing music that wasn't so totally concert-oriented. The Pep Band also played at Worlds of Fun during their Worldfest celebra- tion. During the summer, pom-pon attended the NCA camp at Mar- shall, Missouri and returned with nothing but blue ribbons. Kelly Burfeind, junior, also received an award for being an outstanding performer in the camp. lt was real neat at camp, said Dana Bates, junior, because instead of 15 individuals we acted as one. by Christie Slebert ,, 22,1- f' 'FIS' Aww , 4, , Q., V91 N M925 vGLzEYeAzL 9056232 som fcfaiwz. wmmeng 517032725 JURY?

There were a lot of girls depending on us to keep their points and answer questions, so I had a sense of importance and responsibility, said Junior Kim Gamel, sectional officer. Along with the hard work and dedication their jobs required, a lot of fun went with it, according to the officers. I really enjoyed being an officer for Pep Club. It was a lot of fun and I became more involved with school activities, said Junior Kerrie Kaylor, sectional officer. The four general officers were in charge of Pep Club's events as well as their meetings. I presided at the meetings, informed everyone on the upcom- ing events and presented awards at our annual banquet, said Senior Becky Hein, Pep Club president. Junior Carrie Cook, secretary of Pep Club, was in charge of their annual money making project, the cheese sale. I organized the sale and handed out the cheese, said Carrie. Something new tried this year were the Pep Club t-shirts to be worn at basketball games instead of uniforms. They didn't really go over as well as we thought it would, said Beckie, because not many members bought them, which brought up the problem of some girls wearing them and others not. The mascots Norma and Norman Northmen were Juniors Vickie Anderson and Juan Rangel, respec- tively. This year was the first year that the mascots were not seniors and elected by the school. Vickie and Juan were nominated to be Norma and Norman by Pep Club. I really liked being Norma for several reasons, said Vicki, I met a lot of new people, had a lot of fun, and because I got to make people laugh. Juan agreed, Being Norman was great. It was fun going to the games and being with my friends, said Kim, I'm glad I became involved in Pep Club. Due to health problems, Becki wasn't able to try out for cheer- leading as she had planned. I enjoyed Pep Club and cheer- ing in past years and I realized just because I couldn't cheer didn't mean I couldn't be involved in Pep Club, so I signed up and was elected president, she said, and l'm really glad I did. by Heather Collacott Pep Club is 'rough' on Oakle - pirir 140 Pep Club Girls pep club cheer after an Oakle touchdown.

Many Ookies expressed their individ- ualism this year by starting new fads. The new looks ranged from punk hair cuts to ear bands, from leather jackets to short suede boots, and from converse high tops ta bandanas around the ankle. The preppie look faded as the punk style became popular. The reason l dressed different was because l was sick of prep, said Jacque Reeves. That seemed to be the main reason for beginning fads - to be different. l liked wearing wild things because it was fun not to look like everyone else, said Jacque. Ookies ware paint splattered pants, cropped jeans, muscle shirts and cut-off shirts. Besides guys wearing an earring, many girls no longer had their ears pierced just once. The new look waslto pierce one, two, three and sometimes even four timesL At times the halls looked like a war zone because army fatigues were a popular outfit to wear. T T Guys started wearing their hair long in back - sometimes with a rat-tail - and short an top. But no matter the length on top or in back - the ears had to show. Some Oakies weren't as daring. l would never cur my hair like that, Lisa said. Ookies seemed to follow the trends they saw in movies. Such movies as Risky Business and Flashdance gave Ookies the idea of wearing black sunglasses and off the shoulder sweatshirts. Another popular movie was Footloose l think what everyone liked about Footloose was the idea that the teenagers were fighting authority because . they knew the adults were wrong, and they wan,f'l 5eniorMelanle Campbell said.

Michael Jackson entertained with award winning videos to songs like Beat lt and Thriller The attendance at Oak Park dances revealed the comeback of dancing, but this time the style was a little different. Break Dancing was popular. To many people, fads were a big part of high school, but mostly they were just some extra fun. Melanie added, l think if you spend a lat of money on fads it's dumb, but if you're just having fun - that's okay. by Dolly Cunningham Out of the Blue 149 1-' 'f --:,,p.,f-,ug - :Q-34.1-L .--.4-111:17 -.-Mug--, :-,:fa.1A.1' -:hr--'. -- r ,, .. ,.

'JM An Oakle reads about U.S. troops in Lebanon issues influence student attitudes tudents actually thought about more things than what should l wear . T tomorrow. or where are we going this weekend? They had o variety of opinions and feelings about issues ranging from Oak Park's reputation as a party school to the movie The Day After. Who would think that a two page spread in CAMBIA could cause the whole school to be labeled as a party school? But that is what happened as a result of a spread on 18 bars in Kansas which appeared in the Oak Park yearbook. The story caused much publicity, and the yearbook was even compared to Hustler Magazine. The result was that Oak Park became known to all as the school of portlets. The reputation doesn't bother me because l think lt's ridiculous for people to label on entire school partiers after reading a spread in the yearbook, sold Junior Brenda Bowlin. Another event which will be remembered, mostly by seniors, was The Senior Week Crisis, as some students referred to lt. r Due tothe excess snow daysfandl r . u s other inclement weather, days to be made up were tacked onto the end of the- scheduled year. Though nolsrudents seemed extremely happy about the extended year, it caused an uproar with the seniors. The planned-but-not-school-sanctioned Senior Week was delayed until after graduation or as some seniors felt - cancelled. I feel we didn't technically get o senior week because after graduation, we weren't seniors, said Senior Valerie Fowler. Not really bothered by it was Senior David McClurg, lr really didn't affect me because l didn't have any definite plans to go anywhere. Oakles thoughts also were on worldly issues such as the Russians threatening to boycott the Olympics and the book 1984 . l don't think it's fair for athletes to miss our on the Olympics. They work all their lives for itg it is their dream, said Sophomore Diane Mufti. The book 1984, written by George Orwell, was read in some sophomore English classes. The students found the book hard to understand in ports and very unrealistic , 7 . g 'flt wasn't very realistic, but some things are growing closer in real life to what the book said, commented Monty Carter, sophomore. 1 ' A highly publicized and controversial movie aired in November was The Day After , a drama based on the aftermath of o nuclear war. But students didn't find lt as terrible as lt was built up to be. lt showed what could happen when two countries get out of hand in their political disagreements. lt also showed how people acted and reacted during the crisis, sold Sophomore Michelle Graves. One issue that was close to home to Oakles, was an upcoming Supreme Court decision. The decision is on whether our government should be able to withhold student aid to students who don't register for the draft. I think that would be unfair because even though a person should register, if they don't they shouldn't be exempt from student aid, said Stacey Provo, senior. by Heather Collacott Out of the Blue 151 .

' g As the weather got colder Ice skating at Crown Center was a popular thing for many Oakies. Seasons, lifestyles change together ' ome changes were obvious - the leaves, the snow and ice, the need for coats and anti-freeze. But more subtle changes also were taking place as the seasons evolved, the subtle changes of students' attitudes, moods, and feelings. For instance, the spring brought on such activities as XVorld's Of Fun, Oceans Cf Fun, and Gradnight, which certainly helped influence students' attitudes. Many students started getting anxious for school to be out and looked forward to summer, so they could start to wear shorts and bring out the rest of their cooler clothes. Spring makes me feel alive again after the long winter season, said Kevin Warner, senior. l'm the most hyper in the spring because of the nice weather and l'm anticipating school being out and begin to make plans for the summer. Spring's my favorite season because it is the prettiest time of the year, said Gayla Diebold, senior. School's almost out and everyone's in good moods. Many students felt summer was their favorite season. There's no school, sunshine, and it was a time for relaxation. Summers my favorite season because lt's warm and there are lots of things to do, said Lori Stone senior. I feel real good in the summer because I can lay out and go swimming. ' My favorite season is summer because you can put away winter clothes and break out the summer clothes, said Lisa Hanner, senior. I enjoyed being in the sun, swimming, boating and a little bit of water skiing. Fall was a time some students looked forward to going back to school and getting back involved in the wide variety of activities that went on. In the fall I liked to go to Oak Park's and the Chief's football games, said Ronnie DeMeyer, junior. If it wasn't for the activities, I wouldn't like fall because it meant having to go back to school. I don't like fall because it meant going back to school, said Brian Thurston, but I enjoyed fall because it's soccer and football seaosn. I enjoyed being outside in the nice weather, as well as going to football games, said Senior Paul Beller. - Most students felt winter was the slowest season. But there were a few positive aspects, such as Christmas to look forward to as well as going to see the Plaza lights, ice skating, and going on ski trips. In the winter I looked forward to skiing and roasting marshmallows, said Michelle Hayden, senior. I get the most hyper during the winter because I'm closed up and housebound, and I also get bored and it goes by the slowest because there's not much you can do outside. I feel a lot more limited in the winter than other months. Other seasons mode me in better moods, said Senior Rob Elsey. The only good thing to do in the winter was the excitement of the Plaza at Christmas time and driving around in the snow. I like the winter because of Christmas and my blrthday, said Andy Harris, senior. I looked forward to winter because winter means snow skiing season. So as the seasons changed, Oakies changed too, evolving into the people they are to become. by Debbie Russell otherfDaughter Q f you were a teacher walking down a hall at Oak Park High School, and somebody called out Mom! , would you be likely to answer? Probably not and sometimes even Mrs. Susie Tarwater forgets thot, at Oak Park, she can still be called mom. Her daughter, Senior Kim Tarwater, has gone to the some school at since she at Antioch her mother teaches the seventh grade because l knew friends who course, ithe kids l was a i WENT out of her way to treat me like any other student at school. However, it took almost a year for the kids at school to forget Kim's mom was o teacher and treat her accordingly. One of the bad things that Kim ran into about her mother's teaching at her school was the fact that her mother often checked her grades with her teachers. l felt like everyone expected me to get top grades just because my mom's a teacher, said Kim. Mrs. Torwater said it never bothered her to have Kim at school with her. Even now, Kim has to call out 'Susie' beause l don't answer to mom at school, said Mrs. Tarwater. She added that two of the advantages of having her here was that it's easier for her to keep up with what Kim's doing, and l know what her friends are really like, not just how they act when we're introducediat home. by Rhonda Hogden 5 Z Park a the our was shes said. ly of the board even Mrs r fers to the as we., that, but l can'r it after 12 r years. she said, S K S S S l by Debbie Bennett ir. .There are 'still s M e will get away ' 1 P' Rob mu: hop ave rao OPP des Cult Plat T hoc ..l i stuf li mu mo wa high tha lf is r go mc of l we ent iny it l ran Qrhe' Q ne to T iom's ered o ar.

The thought of giving up the corefree doys of summer for o doily routine filled with clossrooms ond text books is not o pleosont thought to mony students. lt never seems like you hove enough time to get everything done you hod hoped to before school storts up ogoin, soid Lori Word, senior. This yeor, however, students in the North Konsos City School District hod the unexpected treot of hoving o little bit of extro time to enjoy summer before surrendering to the 8 to 2:40 routine. Due to the unusuolly high temperotures in the Konsos City oreo, the school boord wos forced to shorten the bock-to-school hours. This wos bosed on the foct thot mony of the schools in the North Konsos City School District hod no oir conditioning. Mony schools reported hoving temperotures in the clossrooms rising obove 90 degrees. The first four doys of the 88-84 school yeor were treoted os holf doys. At Ook Pork, students went to their first three closses one doy, then ottended their lost three the next doy. Then, for three doys ofter the first four holf doys, there wos o revised schedule which hod students in their clossrooms ot 6:80 o.m. They then got out of closses ot 1:15 p.m. I thought thot getting out of closses eorly wos o greot deol, but I hod o reol hord time getting up so much eorlier, soid Kristi Wicks, junior. Since Ook Pork hod oir conditioning, there wos reolly no suffering becouse of the heot, but mony Ookies were glod to toke odvontoge of the revised hours. For some, this gove the perfect time to hit the pool for the lost time or two. Others decided to drive the distonce to Smithville Loke ond swim ond picnic. lt kind of helped to relieve the stress of going bock to school, soid Chris Slogle, senior, when you could just toke off to the loke ofter schooI. Still, others found it to their enjoyment to simply go home ond wotch their fovorite television shows. In mony coses, this meont going home to cotch up on the soop operos. Others chose to go home ond sleep to moke up for the hours they moy hove lost in getting up ot the eorlier times. Even if you went to bed super eorly, it wos neorly impossible to get up so eorly for school, soid Kristin Adomson, senior. Some students hod o job to report to ofter school. There were olso those involved with sports or other extro curriculor octivities which required them to stoy ofter school. While the temperotures inside the school were kept foirly cool by meons of oir conditioning, the heot outside wos thought to be by mony os unbeoroble. lt wos pretty rough trying to do our best ot footboll proctice with the heot os bod os it wos, especiolly with our pods on, soid Rodney Boker, sophomore. But even with the sooring temperotures, most sports ond bond proctices were corried on os usuol. Though this chonge in the schedule wos not plonned, mony felt thot the holf doys were o good woy to stort off the yeor.

But by the end of the year, the extremes seemed to have found common ground in the middle. Mr. William Rudolph and Dr. Douglas Dickerson were the two final candidates selected for superintendent. But despite bringing the two candidates to NKC for public forums, no decision could be made and the two were left waiting for the spring election when a new school board could make a decision. When Mr. Charlie Hinson and Mrs. Freddie Nichols were elected, the new board decided to start the search over, without the two controversial candidates. The future looks very good for getting a new superintendent, said Mrs. Sandra Massock in late May. We should have one by the beginning of next year's school year. Not having a superintendent caused the teaching staff to work very hard so the NKC school district would keep its excellent educational record. Unfortunate, but not discouraging was the way many members involved in the superin- tendent hunt described still not having a superintendent. lt was very unfortunate not having a superintendent, but that is all in the past, said Mrs. Sandra Clark. We presently have six people working to find a good superintendent. We changed the criteria from last to this year, so there should not be anymore hold-ups. We are moving along quite smoothly, and we should select one soon. Mr. Ron Harmon agreed, saying, lt is unfortunate that we did not find a superinten- dent yet, but we are well on our way, and I would much rather have a good superinten- dent and have to wait longer. Acting superintendent Mr. Donald Kumpy ran the district for over a year and will continue doing so until a new superintendent is decided upon. The two newly elected school board members, Mr. Hinson and Mrs. Nichols, saw little effect on their election and the superintendent hunt. The fact that I had experience on the board might have influenced the voting, because many people asked me which candidate l was for, said Mrs. Nichols. But overall l did not feel the superintendent hunt had much effect on the school board election. Mrs. Frances Foerschler, the outgoing school board president, felt the superintendent hunt was going along very nicely by the end of the year. We have hired a new consultant and have a new board to help hire a superintendent, said Mrs. Foerschler. lt is a very difficult job to decide which superintendent will do the best job. We had to decide what our priorities were and who would fit the job the best. We needed to choose each individual's best feature. lt was a very difficult job, but l would rather have waited and found the right superintendent rather than jump into it. lt has been real hard without a superinten- dent, said Mrs. Massock. by Debbie Russell After 5.32, U00 spent, superintendent hunt goes on and on earching Superintendent Search 167 IGI-ITS. THUNDER. EXPLOSION. As the lights blink on, books slom shut ond students explode into the holls, one would think thot without bells to dismiss closs there would be little sound or ruckus. But thot wos not the cose in the holls of Ook Pork. The students ot Ook Pork hove never been dismissed by the sounding of bells. lnsteod o light system is used ond while the students ore possing, the lights ore on. When the five minutes ore up, the lights blink off until closs is dismissed. The lights insteod of bells didn't seem to be o problem for most students. On the other hond, some students did hove o hord time getting to closs within the five minutes. I only hove time to go to my locker ond then to closs. And thot's rushing it. soid senior Rhondo Donner. On the other hond, Ed Toylor soid, Its chonged o lot since I wos o freshmon. I used to go to my locker ond stroight to closs. Now I mess oround ond tolk to oll my friends. I guess I slowly don't core. It's no hossle. Some Ookies felt thot five minutes wosn't enough time ond wos o hossle for them. This yeor I hod to go from the bond room oll the woy upstoirs to the other end of the school. I seldom mode it on time. I wish we hod moybe one more minute, Chris Abke soid. Ook Pork used to only ollow four minutes for possing time, soid Dr. Don Kohler. But os the populotion grew, the time wos chonged to 166 5 Minutes Between Closses coincide with the students. It's omple time for ony student, I've tried it. Going from one end of the building to the other ond stopping ond opening o locker, still does not toke up the five minutes, soid Dr. Kohler. Could it be possible thot students don't use their time wisely between closses? As o freshmon, I know thot most of my friends ond I got to closs in time. We just did whot we hod to ond thot's oll. But people olwoys come to closs lote. But they usuolly hod condy or something. So you con see where they spent their time, soid Tomie Soules. If freshmen hod trouble getting through the holls in five minutes, seniors hod other excuses. It's mostly the seniors who didn't moke it to closs. They stoyed oround in the holls until the very lost second, soid Julie Linscott. Dr. Kohler, soid, The people who didn't get to closs on time, didn't use their time wisely. The older students seemed to hove the most trouble. To be honest, I wos one of them ot one time. So whether Ookies went to their locker ond then to closs or mel their girl or boyfriend in the holl or went ond got munchies, whether o freshmon or o senior, there were still problems with getting to closs on time.

V v f Mlm -., - Pressure proves to be basic ingredient in ITGSS rress 1 Teenager O Stress versus the average, everyday teenager. This conflict was a fact of life for many, and all too often the teenager lost the battle. Work, activities, or just making grades often made stress a fact of life. Was there a way to beot it? How did most students deal with a stressful schedule? I feel like I took it out on my family, said Senior Sonya Granquist. They always felt like I had time for everything except them, Activities took up much of a student's free tlme. And being involved in many activities made It that much worse. Sometimes activities crlss-crossed each other, forcing the students to choose between one octivity or another. I thlnk It was equally hard on the sponsorladvlsor because they knew the choice had to be made, said Sonya. Most students had enough trouble just trying to keep their grades up without activities. It was harder my senior year because of advanced and college prep classes, not to mention holding down a port-time job, said Senior Kevin Warner. Many students, becouse of one reason or another, had to have a job. I needed to help take the stress off my parents. Plus, I will be poylng my own way through college, I paid for my own clothes and my own car, so I said Junior practically supported myself, Stephanie Kneuven. But other students found 170 Stress that relieving financial stress only created problems in other areas. Some students tried to take the pressures off themselves by toking C.O.E. and attending only a half a day of school with a job during the other half. At first it was hard to get used to, but once I leorned to balance out my time, it was a lot of fun and I didn't have time to be bored, said Senior Shelley Matthys. The pressure from parents to make good grades resulted in many stressful situations. College depends on the good grades you do or don't make in high school. Even things like cor insurance depended on honor grades to keep the rates down. Some students were given the ultimatum to pay their own insurance or to keep the grades up. Keeping the grades up seemed the likely way, but for some . . . it wosn't so easy. Getting dawn and really studying wosn't as easy as it sounded. The temptation to go out and have a good time with friends proved to be nearly impossible. You always felt unsocioble if you declined an invitation to go out. Everyone always thought you were no fun, soid Kevln. Studying was never that easy to do. Pressure from peers to drop the homework was strong and it seems impossible that anyone ever got any homework done. by Krlstl Marquez ,J jiri?

C oreer-seeking students orrrocred ro senior - ptions ow did some seniors graduate after only attending Oak Park two hours a day? By taking the options offered in the NKC district, some seniors were able to find a job, learn a trade, or refine their knowledge in a career through eighth semester option, C.O.E. and theme schools. Eighth semester option, C.O.E. and the theme schools opened the doors for those seniors who wanted an alternative. Eighth semester option was given to those seniors who by the seventh semester had completed twenty units of credit, and maintained a 3.0 grade point average, according to Mrs. Judy Eden, eighth semester option coordinator. Many of those who chose to take eighth semester option are mature and they are ready to go on to another phase of their life, she said. Those students involved were required to pass twelve hours of college credit before receiving a high school diploma. C.O.E. often attracted more students because of the prospect of earning money. Most students who take C.O.E. want out of school to earn money, said Mr. David l-lensel, C.O.E. instructor. Many learn a trade and a great number continue on to use that skill as a career job. A problem for many C.O.E. teachers and students was to successfully match jobs to satisfy the student's vocational need, according to Mr. Hensel. But it's one problem that is usually rectified. At school l had classes that mainly consisted of free time, Renee Enzor said. But at work I had several duties that l had to get done which have taught me a lot. For those who were mainly technical and vocational bound, business theme school was a popular solution. ln business theme you learn to work with different machines, said Lori Ward. By learning and understanding business equipment the opportunity for jobs broadens. Learning to use calculating machines, transcribing machines, word processors, photo compset and reprographics are not the only reasons why Mrs. Shirley Cromer recommends the class. Patience is very demanding in every profession because machines are frustrating. Another important aspect to this class is the time management. The kids are on their own and they are responsible to complete the project, she said. Besides the business theme school located at Oak Park, North Kansas City offered electronics, building trades and automechanics, while Winnetonka offers health occupations, food service and fashion service. ln my opinion the theme schools are super, said Mr. Bob West, assistant principal, especially the business theme school. Because the students have an opportunity to become better skilled. Then if the student does go to college he will have a jump on everyone else.

XX t was fun and relaxing but not really authenic without the sand, said Senior Chris Slagle of the sunbathing in Oak Park's center courtyard. During the spring the courtyard over- flowed with students desperate enough for even the slightest ray of sun. Shorts weren't unusual for the start of April nor were the commonly seen sunglasses and bottles of tanning oil. The courtyard touched several other students besides those anxious for a sun tan. Many classes retreated to the courtyard for a more relaxed atmosphere for studying, said Dan Morts, sophomore. Others just thought, you could think better in fresh air. Although considered an asset, the court- yard did have its problems. Such were students cutting class to use the courtyard and students eating lunch outside and leaving a mess. I thought the courtyard had a few problems with trash, but nothing major, said Sophomore Mark Glenski. Another way Oakies took their studies outside of the building was by way of field trips. Self development classes went on field trips to the Plaza and the Nelson Art Gallery. lt was a different kind of learning experience because it was a different atmosphere, said Lisa Hanner, senior. Other field trips included visits to the University of Missouri in Kansas City, for Chemistry ll and College American History students. We got to know each department, lt gave you a break from a daily schedule and a chance to be exposed to the outside world, said Senior .leff Donner. Students in gym classes broke the monotony by going outside during their class. Not to the courtyard, but to somewhere like the tennis courts, softball field or track. Some P.E. classes even went to Gladstone Bowl to get their daily exercise. Art classes also went outside as part of their class. lt's important one paints outside, it's much more inspiring, and it's easier than memorizing, said art teacher Ms. Mary Lyndol Carrier. Students were taken outside to draw landscapes among other things such as homes, the school or even just nature. Oak Park students were not always locked away behind doors. Plenty found their way to the courtyard or even escaped a routine day with a field trip. Oak Park showed that school and classes could still go on with help of some outside fun. Sunglasses and sunbathing were great ways to relax and get away from everyday school even for just an hour, said Senior Carlissa Jones. Oak Park offered many alternatives for students to do both during classes and during off classes. Through the courtyard and field trips Oakies turned learning or studying into a more enjoyable experience. by Kristi Marquez utside fun broke monoron y of routine do y Outside Fun 175 l l f the thought of exuberant explosions, mixing of chemicals and the dissecting of dead animals appeals to you, biology and chemistry would have brought a welcome change. With the great numbers of labs many science classes were involved in, the problem of having lab space was predominate. There is not enough space, said biology student Todd Reed. Mr. Crumpler's first hour science class switched with Ms. Pyle's class so they could do experiments. Sometimes it was really difficult because she had to arrange her schedule around it. Despite the inconvenience of not enough lab space, biology students spent a great deal of time in lab. l think labs are really important, said Ms. Deborah Pyle. ln biology ll the students themselves are the victims with lab students taking their own blood samples. Labs like that teach the students a lot about themselves. Ms. Pyle went on to explain, Labs really break the monotony of everyday lecturing. But the most important element that labs taught was basic lab techniques. The problem was given and the solution needed to be found. Chemistry students, along with biology students spent the majority of the time in labs but the benefits were well worth it. Labs allowed you to apply the theories outlined in the book, said Shawn Storm. The lobs brought the theories to life. Bringing those ideas to life cost the district several thousand dollars every year with the The dissection of frogs in biology ls both anticipated and dreaded. purchase of distilled water, chemicals and expensive lab equipment. But the most important benefit, as Dr. Ken Kramme pointed out, was to apply the theories. Labs helped to develop skills and helped to apply theories that later helps those who are interested in the medical or technical fields. The mixing of chemicals may not sound too enthralling to many, but the results were sometimes surprising. I enjoyed seeing how different chemicals would react with each other, said chemistry student Kevin Wansing. With the opportunity given for biological and chemical awareness Kim Rogers felt, l think we should learn more about ourselves and our environment instead of not knowing much about the world around us. But next year the science classes in the district will face new changes with the requirements for graduation raised. The Board of Directors allotted 540,000 to renovate seven science rooms in the district to compensate for the extra science classes required for gradua- tion. We plan to renovate two science classes, said Mr. Bob West, probably rooms 200 and 201. Basically because they are above restrooms where it will be easier to drain off waste water. With the addition of classes extending down the hall, the smell of formaldehyde may follow us everywhere.

They were right. During November through March I spent more time here than I did at home, said Senior Rise Wolff. What Rise found out, like many other Oakies, not only seniors, was that Oak Park was no 9 to 5 job. Work was continued at home or school from as early as 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. and sometimes later. Though students were the major part of this, some teachers were too. Coaches had practices for games along with practices for band, choir, and orchestra. And the list goes on. Why would a high school student spend so much time at school? There were many answers. Sometimes I stoyed after to get help with chemistry from Dr. Kramme. He had a help session for those of us that were doing real bad, said one struggling student. I stayed after because without the extra time I wouldn't be successful, and then what would be the point? said Chris Warner. Students had other motivations for staying after for play practices. You had to stay after during the play because if you didn't you'd get kicked out, soid one drama student. I stayed after for LOG because it's a group effort and it makes me feel good when the paper comes out and it's good, said Senior Julie Linscott, photogropher. 178 No 9 to 5 Job VGFTITTTG Meetings and practices come with being in activities and sports, but students found out that sometimes a little more effort had to be given. During the first of the year I got up at 6 and ran until 7:15. Then after school l'd run ogoin. It would be the some on the weekends. I ran an average of 14 miles a day, said David McClurg, senior. Why? lt's important. I do it for myself and for the team, said David. Some students felt that the time after school was best spent with o teacher or coach. I stayed after to work with Mr. Rice because that's what helped me the most, said senior Katie Bailey. Because so many hours were spent at school, some students didn't have the chance to hold down a job. Although not able to save money for college, some students felt their extro activities paid off too. Sophomore Jim Arnold felt he was working. Sure, I didn't get a check every week, but the stuff I did in debate will get me a scholarship so it's almost the some thing. The reasons for working beyond the 9-5 job of school were many and varied. So were the dividends of spending that extra time. When the applause came closing night of the musical, all the time seemed worthwhile, said Todd Reed, junior. by Toni Boxler Eating at school during musical became a ritual. i 4 Mary Lance. custodian. found herself at school as late as the students did. 4,51 wav '.7-.'3lif',1fff '7T?'

Over 140 different kinds of cars were registered to park at Oak Park. This year approximately 476 permits were issued to students, said Mr. Joe Spruytte, assistant principal. Parking permits could be issued for a full year or for separate fall, winter, and spring terms. The most common model drive by student was the Ford Mustang. Thirty-three Mustangs were registered to park, ninety-seven cars that were driven to school were blue. Out of the cars driven by Oak Park students, more were made in 1976 than any other year. The other cars that were most popular with Oakies were the Oldsmobile 'CutIass, Chevorlet Camera, and Volkswagon Bug. These range in color from aqua to salmon and were made anytime from 1949 to 1984. When asked why there were so many blue cars, Junior Susan O'Neil said, I picked a blue car because it's my favorite color. It's also a school color. Others simply said, I like it. I like Mustangs because they're not over priced, and they're sporty Iooking, said senior Brian Cole.

But to Junior Tom Rogers, the visions of horror originated in September when the planning began. For the third year in a row, Tom worked at the Haunted Hotel, located at 2029 Main each Friday and Saturday night. Jeff Rogers made me aware of the job, Tom said. l also knew someone who worked there. With the obvious job of creating an ominious atmosphere, precautions also were needed. Once a lady cut her eye, Tom said. Sometimes people really get scared so we use our own judgement when our room was being used. But it is really enjoyable, Tom added. Three years ago it was difficult for me, due to no transportation. The owner and I would stay until 3 a.m. figuring the plan for the new house. Now I can have almost any job I want. Various jobs were involved, ranging from relieving other workers to managing a room. l've worked almost everything, Tom said. But my favorite is the drop ceiling. In that room the ceiling drops to reveal spikes racing toward you. From the fear of the skeleton in the closet, to the boogyman under the bed, to almost everyone, something lurks around the corner. The best part of the job, Tom said, was watching how people react when they get scared.

Brad began carving during his seventh- grade summer after meeting Moses, who was a carver and sparked Brad's interest in the art. Brad began carving with a pocketknife. Moses told me to carve a rabbit. lt looked like a snowman with ears, said Brad. After the summer camp ended, Brad and Moses encouraged Brad's parents to give him carving lessons. The following Christmas, Brad and his father took carving lessons at Northgate Community Center. Brad studied there for three years. Brad feels that his best work is a carving of the mystic in the Dark Crystal . Some other carvers said l could probably get S200 for it if someone was interested in it. Brad considers the real payment for his efforts to be the praise he received from people who view his work. lt's neat to change what I see in my head to something tangible and visable to everyone, said Brad. Although Brad is uncertain where carving will lead him, he is toying with one idea. l thought it'd be neat to carve a giant Northmen out of a tree for display in the school - sort of like the monkey monstor painting that hangs over the stairs. That was done by a former student, said Brad. by Mary Quigley Brad Rlnghausen paints his flnlshed project.

I felt so honored when Kelly won the award, sold Ms. Annette Luyben, Pom Pon sponsor. Kelly stirved for perfection. She was persistent in everything she did and she was one of those people who was easy to work with. I was so surprised to receive the oword, said Kelly. Usually the oword is given to the leader of the Pom Pon squad, and o senior at thot. l wouldn't be surprised if Kelly become o teocher for a Pom Pon camp in the future, she ls exoctly what they are looking for, she's super, said Ms. Luyben. The award is presented each year to one girl from eoch of three high schools who best exemplifies confidence in herself and enthu- siasm for what she was doing. This yeor the medal, linked on o red, white, and blue ribbon was glven to one girl from Ook Park, Hickman Mills, and Blue Springs Pom Pon squods. A visiting sponsor from the National Cheerleoders Association presented the award. A glrl can win the oword more thon once, soid Ms. Luyben. For the past two years there hos been more than one girl, however, Kelly remolns the first junior to win.

The sound of a radio and muffled chatter came from the cafeteria where a concession stand crew prepared for anticipated crowds. Mr. Blackwell settled down to begin a sleepless night of guard duty. This is just a glimpse of the behind the scenes action of Oak Park's 5th Annual Antique show, sponsored by the Journalism Basics Class. The students really did a good job of organizing the show and the food. They were great in establishing public relations with people who came to the show, but especially with the dealers, who thought they were the greatest, said Mr. Bill Hankins, Journalism advisor. A concession stand ran the 2-day show for the benefit of the dealers. Pie, cake, stew, chill, nachos, and various soft drinks and beverages were available to the public. I think we broadened the varlety this year. lt took a lot of work to keep the concession stand golng, stated Debbie Bennett. The money profited from the show was used to produce Timberline magazine, which ls a publication put out by the Journalism Basic Class. J-Basics students sold ads and actually produced the student magazine and were graded on their work. The Antique Show helped to finance the magazine. We grossed about S900 that was all put to good use, commented Brad Furlong. After studying newspaper and yearbook, the magazine is a good way to prepare them for Cambia and Log, said Mr. Hankins. by Mlchelle McCoIlough' Juniors 221 . iii I 257 ,W rv f As V 4 4, , F61 ., We f 7 X f f 75 4 W! ,. ,, 4. fi , f xy M7 , ,A 0' Z MW ,9 . f AW, ' 'I.,'fi Y 'Q' ' rf . ,. 5 W Q f , V f , ,V Q fi Z A W 10 14 6 25 Ku f W f fy fig, 1 W., ..

But there is an additional statement made, No freshmen or sophomores will be issued parking permits. This is no big deal for most freshmen because most freshmen don't have their licenses yet. But for sophomores who do have licenses and need to drive to school, this creates a transportation problem. Many sophomores have jobs or they are involved in extra-curricular activities, yet they are not considered when the parking stickers are issued. Sophomore Stacy Stathopoulas says, I think they should give parking stickers to sophomores if they have a good reason because sophomores have activities too. One of the main reasons that the parking stickers are issued only to juniors and seniors is that the student parking lot is full with just them driving. Assistant principal Joe Spruytte had this to say, I have 344 spaces l open up to, say, 500 juniors and 500 seniors, with those on C.O.E. first, school activities second, and those with jobs last. If l opened the lot up to sophomores that would be 1500 kids and only 344 spaces available. Many juniors and seniors can sympathize with the sophomores driving problem because they were sophomores once, too. As one junior put it, lt's something that you get to do when you're a junior or senior. You just have to wait and put up with it. by Susan O'Nell 2 ZH! ,jf W4 W Z 'X f , ,,' , , I , W Wiz.

Ghost pop sales were one of the biggest money making projects. Ghost pops were sold during the lunch hours at Halloween. Ghost pops are tootsie roll pops with kleenex wrapped around them which students could send to a friend with a message written on them. They were the first money making project that the sophomore officers put together. The other project held was the Shamrock Express, which was similar to the ghost pops. l felt the ghost pop sale was a real scccess, said Judy Hendrich, Vice-President. The only problem was we only made 450 ghost pops, and by the last two lunch periods we were already sold out. The sophomore class officers attended leadership seminars at UMKC and Missouri Teen. The idea was for the officers to learn to be good listeners and leaders. The main responsibility for the so- phomore class officers was to set a good example for the other sophomore students, said Mrs. Burgess. We don't have many fund roisers because we mainly want to learn how to delegate dutles, said Mrs. Burgess. I felt we had a very close group to work with, said Jackie Jordon, President. Judy agreed saying, We all four were good friends before we became sophomore class officers and that really helped in our closeness and getting along so well. We were able to get through the ghost pop sales with a great amount of ease. by Debbie Russell Sophomores 225 ,f ' Mi, ff g Wfk, f 4 5 fhfzvffz ,, f. ,V V ,, ,W ,.,,,w'1W-V X If mag? 7 , V' ff,,, Q j.'-sf- - M,'M'M-:Zh , z v ,ff f I f X 'f ' ,sf ff 4 aff? f ff L ' K ff4'!f' ff I , A ,M f V ff li A 4 ' , fp 1, , WWW' 0 i ,ff . 1 , 6 I 6, , 'f f , , , W 1 , .. ,, 1 ' ,L ff I ' fm , 1 4 . - ' .

XX onceited and overconfident of knowledge, but poorly informed and imma- ture. This is the Websters Dictionary definition of sophomoric. Though this is the definition of sophomore, some people don't feel it fits. There are people like that in every class not just the sophomores, said Sophomore Tosha Doak. A wise fool is another phrase used to describe a sophomore but most sophomores agree this doesn't always fit. As one sophomore Oakie said, Wise sometimes, fool others. With all these different definitions, how do the upperclossmen feel? Most of them agreed that yes this is an accurate description of most all sophomores. They seem to forget in the hustle and bustle of making plans that not too long ago, they too were sophomores. One junior said, I grew up a lot in my sophomore year. It was a great transitional period. Being a sophomore brings many new responsibilities and changes. Sophomores get to drive, get to choose more free classes, and are old enough to get a job. So whether sophomore, junior or senior many agreed that the sophomore year was a time of growing, learning and transition from tenth grade to upperclossmen. And for most, the label sophomoric just did not fit. by Terrlll Galusha S K , ik img. ' tim fs0'sis6iw,.f swans ml: 5 We :sms Sophomores 229 L.9yffSf firaftww X, M! G., 7 Q 4M 1. W-in .511 A A Hn Mlke Gardner practlces his moves ln the Soccer Dome. s soccer has become more popular in America, people have been playing more, revising the rules, and expanding the game even to the point of developing a new indoor soccer league. This expanding sport finally became an issue for students at Oak Park. Several sophomores were actively in- volved in playing the sport during the year. The hope of getting soccer into the schools has excited many of them. l'd like to see it come to North Kansas City schools, Kevin Davila, sophomore said. He has a friend at Park Hill who played on the soccer team there. Many of these sophomores have been playing soccer for many years. Peter Vanhorn, sophomore, started playing when he was five. what was in California, Peter said. For Kevin there was a thing at school where they had a flyer where you could sign up to play so my brother and I signed up, said Kevin. That was four years ago. Mr. Dick Powers, activities coordinator at Oak Park, along with counterparts from the other two schools in the district ran a student survey last year. Students in grades 9 - 11 were surveyed ln all three of the schools. On the average of the three schools, 877s indicated that they might be Interested in playing and 277, indicated that they definitely would be Interested. Finally, all the interest paid off as the school board decided in February to include soccer ln the NKC athletic program. Some concerns, however, still existed. l'm not anti-soccer, but I am against cutting out of other programs in the schools, states Mr. Powers. Whether these boys will be playing soccer on the 1984 Oak Park team or not, they will continue to play the sport. by Trlsh Nyen -.A , ,X , .

Along with sponsors Mr. and Mrs. Dave Schirmer, the members met at someone's house for a regular meeting or a special activity throughout the year. According to Antoinette Duke, sophomore member, the regular meetings started out with a story, which then led to a moral discussion. The meetings ended with a song and a prayer. Antoinette said, Most of our meetings were special things, though. We did things like Polaroid parties, and Christmas caroling. Young Life also sponsors ski camps during Christmas vacation and a two-week national summer camp. Young Life has a reputation as a church group. Freshman Stephanie Snowden saw it a little differently, though. I think of it more as having fun than as religious. lt gets kids together from different schools, said Stephanie. Both Antoinette and Stephanie felt that the group's purpose wasn't to push anything on anybody. People come into the group maybe not completely believing in God and although they might later come closer to believing, no one tells them what to think, said Antoinette. They don't say you should or shouldn't do this or that, added Stephanie. Sophomore Kelly Gowens summed up the general feeling with, lt's a neat way to get to know a lot of different people. by Mary Quigley Photo by Angle Thornton Gretchen Mlcheals Debbie McGinley, Kim Noble, Kelly Gowens, and Antoinette Duke enjoy themselves at a young life meeting. -. .

Scott has been hunting geese, duck and turkey for about three years. Every chance he gets, Scott is up by 5 a.m. on weekends to go hunting. I go duck hunting with a friend, Kurt Madsen, and geese and turkey hunting with my dad and brother, Scott said. Smithville and Orrick, Missouri were the popular ploces for his hunting. I also go to my ount's house down in the boothills to hunt turkey, he said. Hunting in the winter months can be very chilling and dangerous especially after falling through o pond. During the first year I was hunting, I fell through some ice. The water went over my hip wodersl It wos very cold ond I dld the exact same thing again this year. One of the other dangers of hunting is being shot by somebody's carelessness, which I have fortunately not encountered, he said. As a safety precaution Scott and his companions keep their guns unloaded when they are walking. Scott's biggest catch has been a Mallard Drake which he had cleaned and mounted. I think it would be exciting to hunt for bear, but I guess I will just stick to birds, Scott added. by Debbie Bennett .4-gg A' ,, Photo by Brion Cole Scott Lee shows off his pheasant he shot whlle hunting.

Eoch locker expressed the personolity of the student or students who colled thot locker home. lt is o woy to express your personolity. You get to design your own locker, some hove posters ond other stuff, sold Mory Ann Besse. Some Ookies felt thot their lockers were o ploce to put my stuff. Although the lockers ore smoll this did not cut down on the vorious woys to decorote. For those who wonted to odd on extro speciol touch to their lockers, there were o number of woys to achieve this. The corpeting could be very ottroctive, but there wos the problem of deciding long or short shog, how much spoce it will subtroct from the locker, whot color ond of course how to cleon it. Stocie Potterson, freshmon, felt it is something your porents con't tell you to cleon. Curtoins con olso be very nice but they too hove their drow-bocks. Along with the problems the corpeting posed, curtoins hod the extro trouble of how to hong them, how long they should be ond will they get cought in the locker. The risk of jomming the locker wos ever-present, Ieoving the helpless students out ln the holl bookless, But one junior Ookie felt thot hoving o little of yourself ot school wos worth the risk. by Terrlll Golusho ,, 1 l fi r.'E 2 f fi i ., '34,-Q A, ' 1 - , 2 f, 1: . f f ' M ,sf ,, . 1.

In the summer of 1983 Dovid rode his bicycle from the Colorodo!Konsos border to White Cloud, Konsos which is ot the border of Konsos ond Missouri. He rode with on orgonized group of opproximotely 300 people. The trip took eight doys riding opproximotely 55 miles o doy. l liked seeing whot Konsos looked like. Everybody probobly thought riding ocross Konsos wos reolly eosy becouse it is so flot - but Konsos reolly isn't thot flot. The western port is very flot, but the further eost you come, the more hills there ore. Dovid hos ridden in mony other orgonized rides. For the post two yeors he hos ridden on the Morrilloc Ride. The first yeor he rode 269 miles ond the second yeor 333. This ride benefited the Morrilloc Center which is o home for children. Dovid hod pledges for every mile he rode ond this lost yeor he roised neorly 5500. I liked roising money for them, but whot I reolly liked wos meeting people on the ride, Dovid soid. My gool is to be oble to ride ocross the United Stores ofter my senior yeor. For my senior week - even though it would toke o lot longer thon o week! I reolly like bicycling. lt's o greot woy to meet people.

But they all four had something In common, they were the main characters in the childern's story Lutter the Long Tolled Monkey written by Mark Leeruer, Slttlchoke Huckuntod, David Roggy, and Jack Armstrong. For the flfth consecutive year Mrs. Phyllis McConnell and Mrs. Susie Tarwater's Freshman English honor classes successfully created children storles. V I felt it was a creative exercise, said Mrs. McConnell. lt taught the students to take a good look at children stories. y The students had three weeks to create a chlldern's story book. There were four or five students In a group. The students were required to wrlte a book for a first or second grader, based on morals, safety, or common experiences. I enoyed making the books, said Kevin Whetzel. lt was interesting to see how difficult It was to make up something that seems so easy to read. Our group chose to base our book on fantasy, said Suzie Rastorfer. The book showed the chlldren it's wrong to run away from home because it only gets them into trouble. After the students completed their books, they took them to Gashland Elementary School to get field tested. Field tests are taken by the grade schoolers to see if they comprehend the stories written by our students, said Mrs. McConnell. lf the grade schoolers did well on the test, the book was a success, but if not, the students found out It wasn't as easy as it seemed to develop a chlldren's book. As long as the kids liked the stories, said Steve Senter, I felt a sense of accomplish- ment. by Debbie Russell W ,, ,fav S ' , ,.

T XX y philosophy for high school is to plunge in and take every opportunity it has to offer, said freshman Danny Bishop. Donny seemed to do just that. This year he participated in sophomore choir, drama, student council, and debate. He was President Roosevelt in the musical Annie and Jiles Corey in the play The Crucible . In order to have time for oll these activities, Danny had to take one of his required courses, Citizenship, in summer school. l really liked the role of President Roosevelt. He was a fomous figure and o person of authority, I like authority, Danny said. During the matinee Danny had a fever of 104 before going on. He also had to sit for two hours while his make-up was being applied. l really felt awful, he soid, but the wheel chair helped and it was a lot of fun. His acting began when he was only six. Maple Woods offered Drama classes which I took for three years, he soid. Danny has since then had leading roles in many plays including one at his Jr. High School, Antioch. l was the lead bum in 'The Cop and the Anthem', he said. In Parkville Danny performed at the Bell Road Barn during the summer. He was the lion in The Lion who Lost his Roar and an evil magician in Alodan and his Magic Lamp . In his next three yeors of high school, Donny would like to go into Journalism Basics, and then Cambia or Log . His main goal is to also be in all the school plays. With all his activities Danny still worries about 'whot is ahead for me as a senior'. He hopes he can live up to the expectations others have set for him. by Debbie Bennett gs' W ' 'V X 5 l 2 X In I 5, . a., qw M E f f l we 4 2' yi aff 5 tk l 1 E .

This change will affect future graduating classes starting with the class of '86. The total credits needed were 20 credits consisting of three social studies, two in English, one in math, one science, one practical art, one fine art, one physical education and ten other elective credits. Several credit requirements have been raised. Graduating students in 1986 and after now have to have three math credits and three credits in English. This change in standards brought about different views on education expectations. l'm glad they raised them Cthe requir- ementsD, said Sophomore Tammy Wolfe. A lot of kidsjust slide by, getting away with what they can, and not even trying. lt's not that they're not smart enough, it's just that they don't try. Junior Lisa Ballard disagreed. I don't think they should have raised the requirements because it'sjust giving the kids that aren't good in math or English a hard time. Raising the requirements has both good and bad points that have to be adapted to. by Susan O'Neil S Nav' .M-mug Photo by Anne Silvas Joe who works with Mr. Baker on his math while the requirements for underclassmen get harder. ff fs ff' ff' f ,f . gf M f WW Z7 ,ff l IQ , fs ! 2 f 9 Zz?

The new faces, the crowded halls, and the chaos of finding classes were just the beginning of high school life. Last year's freshmen began Oak Park with great expectations, and they felt that Oak Park lived up to those expectations. I really like Oak Park especially all the activities. There's so much more to do, like go to football and basketball games, said Freshman Greg Sandrldge. Some freshmen enjoyed the maturity of high school. The teachers treat you more like an adult and they give you more respect, sold Freshmen Staci Patterson. I like the cheerleading and the dances the best because New Mark didn't have anything like that, said Shelly Taylor, freshman. Even though the freshmen expressed a liking towards Oak Park, they did encounter a few problems. Oak Park is so much bigger than my middle school. For the first week I was totally lost, but when I got used to everything, it was easy, sold Tonya Bennon. Freshmen Connie Wilkett said, There's so many more people, almost too many. lt's really hard to get around. Being the youngest in the school didn't seem to bother very many freshmen. One freshmen said, l don't let things like that bother me. However, another one said, lt really does bother me when people tease me about being a 'little freshman', They were freshmen once too. Although most ninth graders coped well with the problems and changes of being a freshman, many would agree that they wouldn't trade their senior year for the experience of re-living their first high school year. by Tosha Doak X Awww ' l l ff-1277462 ' X 4' 7,25 Q47 MW!! ,Z ' fy M542 W f if 54 3 ,- N fl ,, f :, S-.14 6 'ff' Y!

Danny Bishop, Vlce President Jason Swan President. eing a freshman class officer was not only a matter of popularity but a matter of responsibility, hard work, and learning exper- iences. I learned a lot about the school and how they do things, commented Freshman Class Secretary, Missy Collacott. lt gave me more responsibility ta help out with other peoples' problems, she said President Jason Swan said, It showed me that the class would not necessarily elect the most popular person. Part of the officers' responsibilites were the magazine drive and collecting toys for the Toys for Tots campaign that went to the military during Christmas. One of the goals of the officers this year was to get a good start on fund raising for the Junior!Senior prom, said Jason. The magazine drive in the fall was the biggest project the class did during the year. According to Mr. Jim Stone, counselor and freshman class sponsor, sales went well. For the number of students who took part in it, it was a success, he said. Although the officers were enthusiastic and willing to work, it seemed as if there was little for them to do. lt was a problem when we didn't meer very often, said Stephanie Snowden, trea- surer. Despite not always having that much to do, the experience of being a class officer was a learning one. The officers worked hard and tried to make this year a good experience for the freshmen. They have done o super job, said Mr. Stone. by Trlsh Nyen XX he secretories ore my right ond left orms ond probobly one of my legs!

Left: Most teachers post important notes and assignments but Miss Alverson posts her favorite people and activities. 'S ice, concerned, able to relate to students, and term papers, is what Kyle Kavanaugh thinks of when he hears the name Ms. Lindo Alverson. Kyle is not the only person that feels this way. Many students feel this Oak Park English teacher is aware of teenagers and fits right in today's society. I enjoy every day hobbies like nee- dlepoint, and swlmmlng, said Ms. Alverson, But I also enjoy going to all the high school games with students, and I especially like going to concerts. Some of the concerts she attended were Billy Squire, Def Leppard, Journey, Genesis, and The Police. During Ms. Alverson's break she enjoys writing letters to keep her in touch with students who have graduated. I occasion- ally go out to dinner with students I've had in class, or sometimes I go to a movie with them, said Ms, Alverson. I like to keep track of peo- ple who have graduated. I often write to them, or will go see a game with them at the college they are attending. Ms. Alverson said the reason she goes to concerts with students is because she likes the music and enjoys being with kids. Ms. Alverson feels going to concerts and school activities helps her relate better when teaching her senior classes. I feel these activities help me to know what my students are interested in, said Ms. Alverson. lt's fun to see all the different activities they are interested in. Ms. Alverson also enjoys jamming down to her walkman. To be honest, the only reason I listen with headphones is so I won't bother the other people in the office, she said. I like listening to my walkman so I can turn it up as loud as I want and other people can't complain. by Debbie Russell F oculrg A kid at school, concerts, heart Faculty 255 XX rder ln the courtl hollers the judge.

I liked the excitement I got out of working part time at a hospital, said Ms. Deborah Pyle. It gave me a lot of stories to tell my Biology Il classes. It made me feel good to work at the Fort Leavenworth Prison, said Mr. Degrodo. The prisoners seem so appreciative when I visited them. I can tell my students what jails are like, and it helped me to discover where education went wrong. Ms. Pyle had the same feelings as most of the teachers had about their part-time jobs.

Finally, while going room to room, they asked to see the beds and it occurred to him that the couple had mistaken Oak Park High School for the nursing home, Oak Park Manor, across the street. Directing people to O.P. Manor was just a small task compared to the larger ones faced by the cooks and custodians, such as the record hot and cold temperatures this year. Keeping a comfortable balance in the temperature of the school is always difficult, but this year because of the extreme temperatures it was worse.

Keeping the building clean and setting up the gym and cafeteria for evening activities were just a few of the many jobs handled by the 12 custodians. l'd say cleaning the gymnasium area is the worst job to do. But overall the work isn't unpleasant, said Mr. Lawrence, though this yeor we cleaned up a lot of chewing tobacco which wasn't too pleasant. The heat really wasn't a problem according to the cooks because they didn't prepare any food those half days. Actually it gave us more time to do some extra preparation for the year such as cIeanlng, commented one cook. Feeling totally satisfied with her job was head cook Louise Koerber. I love it. l've been here 16 years and each day I look forward to going to work, she said. Each day she and the 14 cooks prepare the meals, sell them and various other tasks such as stocking the groceries. Our lunch sales have been up this year. I feel its due mostly to the .90 price. Which I understand will be in effect at least another year, said Mrs. Koerber. I like the pizza they served this year. It wos an Improvement over last year's, said senior Kim Rogers. In fact, besides the stand-by favorities of tenderlolns and french fries, pizza ranked second as the Oakies' favorite food. Chili ranked last. This year has been one of our better years. We haven't had many problems with students stealing or anything else, and we really appreciate lt, added Mrs. Koerber. by Heather Collacott 'WW' 0 5 ibn- .L f H ' ..., . , 4 fa ' F , , -R, ' I ,., 4 4' J.
