Oakdale High School - Oracle Yearbook (Oakdale, CA)

Although in China 1986 was known as the year of the rat, in Oakdale it was known as the year of improvement. Many students at OHS this year received glossy new books, replacing their dog-eared Cand chewedl, soggy predecessors from past years. As new teachers adjusted to a new school Csomewhat unmagically transformed during the course of this momentous school yearl, seasoned teachers brushed up on their alphabet. OHS veteran Mike Riley could be heard asking, Where's room H-2? A question as of this writing to which Norm Antinetti does not yet have an answer. The physical aspect of OHS was not the only aspect of school that underwent transfor- mation. New classes offered this year included such favorites as Drama, Spanish IV and Academic Biology and History. For mathematics freaks Pre-Calculus was offered. As students wended their way through classes new and old, tough and easy, interesting and deadly dull, they participated in what has been called their inalienable right: The right to move their consciousness from a state of ignorance to one of knowledge. May this rite long live on. by Amy Hoffman ivfvtfimi--I LNEZI V SJHV, 'V' 1539 vt m Top: Oh no! Here she comes again!! Left: A little more cyanide Poindexter.

Some may look, act, speak, or even smell alike but there will always be something between the two that dis- tinguishes them as their own person. And perhaps you've noticed that out of the motley group that characterizes the OHS community lteachers, and staff includedl there are certain ones that catch the eye. These individuals can be found in every corner at OHS. They come in varying form: aggies, punkers, preppies, surfers, and Wanna be Madonnas, but each is unique. ln fact, mundane normality appears not to be their style. Rather, they attract at- tention by simply being their unusual selves and by stepping beyond the nor- mal high-school stereotype. In a sense, everyone is an individual, but - and we're sure you'll agree - some more than others. Let's salute these abnor- mal, crazy, different people for simply being who they are - Individuals. by joshlynn Faulkner --'T --I ' WA2' 1 ' .W'.vvA: f1 ' an '1f r.-.'-4- 1 if ' -. 1' -W v ' STUDENT LIFEf'l3
