The Blues are back so back the Blues, shouted new owner Harry Ornest, when the Blues returned home from oblivion. St. Louisans bade farewell to golden glover Keith Hernandez as the Cardinals sent him packing to the Big Apple. Closing - 464

162 Dress code, video invades Oakville Oakville is a changing and growing communiTy and school. As iTs sTrong rooTs spread in The soil of ST. Louis many changes oc- cur. As changes occur we as people musT adapT To Them. AdapTing To biTTer cold weaTh- er in December and January was noT easy buT adapTing To The ex- pansion of Telegraph was even harder. Rush hour seems even worse wiTh consTrucTion from Yaeger Road To Chrisfopher Drive. ' Oakville fooTbaIl fans adapTed To games on Friday nighT insTead of on SaTurday afTernoon. The new llghTs on The field were well liked. Homecoming game and parade were boTh on Friday nighT wiTh The dance on SaTurday. Rush hour found floaTs of celebraTing sTudenTs Tying up Traffic. I liked The games on Friday nighTs, commenTed Lisa Finke. i'buT I sTill like Homecoming on SaTurday wiTh The bonfire The nighT before. AdapTing To a new school was a big challenge for The volunTary desegregafion sTudenTs. 'il have enjoyed being ouT here. The peo- ple and Teachers have been greaT, buT The TransporTaTion is roTTen, replies Alvin Taylor. Oakville was privileged enough To have a foreign exchange sTu- denT aTTending school here. Monica Orsini, from Brazil, sTayed only a semesTer buT her presence lefT us memories for years. A warm, friendly smile and a helping hand welcomed Them To Oak- ville, Their new home. Home is where a IoT of people surprisingly spenf Their Time sTarT- ing aT The beginning of The school year. Cable TV spread iTs rooTs inTo The Oakville area aTTracTing - Closing many enThusiasTic movie lovers and video maniacs. T'The Thing I like mosT abouT cable is ThaT I can waTch all The movies and noT have To pay for Them, replied Amy Coursen. ShorTs, mini skirTs, and sugges- Tive Top wear were ouTIawed by a so-called dress code issued by The Ivlehlville Board of EducaTion. Though iT died ouT wiThin a few days of school and shorTs were once more permiTTed, iT sure had The jocks worried for a while. 'il really didn'T care abouT wearing shorTs because I haTe my Iegs, fIaunTed Cindy Lee. Worried couldn'T express The look of sTudenTs afTer Their food fighT during A lunch lefT The cafe- Teria looking like a baTTIezone. Food was flying everywhere, recolIecTs Laura Burkemper, Then everyone cleared Their Ta- bles and ran. Some people even wenT under The Table! Besides cleaning ThaT up, The cafeTeria cleaned ouT The sporks and once more broughT sTeel forks and spoons back as uTensils. Impressive was definiTely The ThoughT of The VeTeran's Day Pa- rade judges who picked The Oak- ville Tiger Band as number one in The parade. In Their honor a day and ceremony were given for Them. If one day could predicT The fu- Ture Oakville would be in Trouble. The firsT day of school found The office and fronT hallway flooded wiTh waTer from a broken waTer piple. We live however To Tell The opposiTe. IT has been a greaf year for Oakville Sr. High and The communiTy sTrengThening The growing rooTs and making Them as one. AX . . -' .... . ..-...N-'- I x. i I I
