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.

Quick What do the beach, the zoo, and the library all have in common? No, it's not the Dewey Decimal System. They're all attractions that OHS stu- dents visit when not dealing with the reality of school. Throughout the year student relaxation away from school was an important aspect of out-of-school life and some students even managed to spend their entire school year relaxing, as they sat around the parking lot catching buzzes off of carbon monoxide fumes. Meanwhile, the jocks lifted weights in hopes of moving up to a larger size football jersey, while cowboys kicked back on the range and wore out their Wranglers. The intellectual crowd spent their ff.-XT I -E t' ffl .f leisure hours glued to their computers or Revenge of the Nerds videotapes and preps borrowed Mom's B'mer for the weekend. During their free time, students could be found at the movies watching Arnold the Barbarian invade Grenada, at school dances slamming, or most memo- rably, in an orchard, disoriented and confused. Some chose to hit the beach over the weekend while the sophisticated hit each other. Speeding tickets were given out, car windows fogged up, and dynamite thrown, all in the pursuit of happiness. lsn't life full of wonderful colors? by john Gobel T ' Q Y :W H 1 ' 'V W 'l 1 T-.n-a .1 .sq -1.1 .n arrarrr .af 16fAFTER HOURS f-ss 4. 3' 2 E225
