Break Time Ah the bell rings and it is time for a quick break. You can run to your locker, get a fast drink, or talk to a friend or two. Unfortunately, you only have four minutes to spare until it is time to hit the books again — unless, of course, it is lunch time!

For Mary-Ann, she doesn ' t like the ad- justments, I would rather stay in one place. The biggest obstacle for Mary-Ann to overcome in moving to the U.S. was the language barrier. There are dif- ferent pronunciations, different spell- ings, and on top of all that, there is a difference in accents. Although all of this is against her, Mary-Ann still man- ages to have fun and make the best out of it.

Underclass 47 ?Sports 49 Jacks Lose Out Because Of Point System The football season started out very well with a new head coach, Mr. Elsass. The season was a great success with a winning record of seven wins, three losses, and these losses were by only a total of nine- teen points. The team narrowly missed the playoffs by a technical- ity in the points system tie breaker. The entire team was all stars, par- ticularly the way they worked to- gether to excell, filling in for many injured teammates and never giving up. Well done, team. Awards were achieved by Chris Du- val and Tim Stallard for Southwest- ern Buckeye League; second team awards were achieved by Bart Ber- utti, Mike Needham, and David Fry; honorable mention awards were received by Jeff Parrish and Chris Reinke. Chris Duval went on to receive honorable mention all state and first team all Southwest- ern Ohio; Tim Stallard and Mike Needham achieved honorable men- tion all Southwestern Ohio.

The Varsity and Reserve Field Hockey Teams had a very out- standing year. They were 10-5-2 and 8-3-6 for the year, proving that once again, the Jills really know how to play ball. Karin Wcnzke set a school record by scoring nineteen goals in her career. She is one of the top five scorers of all time. An- nie Logan had a fantastic year, managing eight shutouts. Although the Jills suffered a loss to Fairmont in their first tournament game, Coach Fickert feels it was an ex- tremely well-played game. She comments, Fairmont is our bench- mark. We ' re always comparing our- selves to them. She also feels very proud of their record. The Jills lost only five games, three of them be- ing to Fairmont, and all of those teams are playing in the State Semi- finals this year. Coach Fickert feels, This is the best team I ' ve coached since I ' ve been here. Next year we will be getting a lot of talented girls, and it promises to be another great season!

Once again the Oakwood Girls Ten- nis team had an outstanding year in the courts. The Varsity team ended their season undefeated with an 18- record. The Reserve team matched that with a 9-0 record. Many girls did well in the SWBL tournament. Michelle Goecke quali- fied first in first singles. Tracey Bal- lard came in first in second singles. Brooke Czechowski won first place in third singles. Shannon Tully and Kathy Weisbrod, two young, but very talented players, qualified first in first doubles. Jenny Pici and Ka- tie McCormick qualified first in sec- ond doubles. A couple of girls went on to districts and even state tour- naments. Brooke and Tracey were runners-up in the finals of state A- AA tournament. Michelle also qual- ified for state A-AA singles tourna- ment. The biggest highlight of the season came when the Jills defeated Co- lumbus Bexley, Centerville, and Northmont. This is the first time in many years that the Jills have de- feated these teams. Although the Jills will miss their star seniors, next year ' s team looks just as promising and will surely have another excel- lent season!

This was one of the best records in recent history along with one of the toughest schedules ever. The record was 15-6 for the whole season with A record being 1-0, A A record 9-3, and AAA 5-3. Some of the high points for the season were placing 1st in the Stebbins invita- tional Tournament, beating Wil- mington and Stebbins to achieve this position. Getting 2nd in the S.W.B.L. was another high point of the year. The team ' s success this season can be attributed to hard work, a posi- tive team attitude, and good leader- ship from the three seniors, Lynn Bockrath, Micki Cornett, and Mi- chelle Morris. Co-captains for the season were Micki Cornett and Lynn Bockrath. The team looks for- ward to another great season in 1988 with a winning tradition started by the seniors of 1987!!

The team won at Ce- darville and ran very well at Pre- ble-Shawnee. Dan Lunne finished first in the S.W.B.L. and was named All-league along with Jeff Roeder- shiemer. Michelle Petherick was the teams only junior high runner. She joined the team halfway through the season and still ran quite well.

The goal of the 1987 seventh grade girls soccer team was to have fun, learn soccer skills, be versatile and play with intensity. According to Coach Lockrem, The girls were good about making practices and always played their best in a game. Each girl had the experi- ence of being a co-captain because a different girl was chosen each week to contribute leadership to their team. The team ' s biggest thrill was to tie and almost win the game against Precious Blood, who had beaten the Jills earlier 5-1. Coach Lockrem also added, This was the most enthusiastic team I ' ve ever coached. Soccer is a team sport and all fifteen girls were equally valuable to the team. The Jills end- ed their season with a record of 3-5- 3. The eighth grade soccer team end- ed their season with a 4-7-3 record. This will not be impressive in the record book, however, the team was competitive, never quit trying, and always gave their best effort. Coaching goals for the season were to improve skills and stress team- work. Both of these were accom- plished and the talents of this team will be valuable in the success of the reserve and varsity girls soccer pro- gram at Oakwood in years to come. Bill Clymer and Tad Kiefaber were co-coaches with assistance from Da- vid Gutridge and Susan L ' Heureux. 1. Back row. left to right Coach Schauer.

In tournament, the Jills beat Kettering to win the Kettering Invitational. The team took turns being captain and contributed equally. Coach Priest ' s goal was to play every girl in every game, and she did.

The Oakwood Varsity Boys Basket- ball team ended their season with a tremendous eight wins and one loss record in S.W.B.L. The 1988 Most Valuable Player was Chris Zois. The team had many attributes that contributed to their overall record. Special talents were their aggres- sive defense and ability to play well in clutch situations. The team ' s only league defeat belongs to Eaton in double overtime. The defeat over Bellbrook made up for this and gave Oakwood the championship. Tim Beigel received special recog- nition by participating on the Dis- trict 15 All Star Team. Chris Zois also received this distinction for Un- derclassmen.

The Eighth Grade Girls ' team had a very impressive season, ending with an 11-3 overall record. They took second place in the Preble Shawnee Tournnament, an accom- plishment of which Coach Cooley is very proud. Although the girls got off to a slow start with a 2-2 record after the first four games, dedica- tion, hard work, and a desire to succeed paid off as they finished out the season with only one more loss. Coach Colley feels these girls have a strong team and will do very well next year. The Freshmen Girls also had a suc- cessful season. Their hard work and great skills gave them an 8-3 record. The girls had to work extra hard over the holidays and winter break to fill in for the absentees on the reserve squad, but they still did a great job.

Jacks Beat Lack Of Experience The Oakwood Varsity Baseball Team finished their season with a twelve win, seventeen loss record. The team was led by Jeff Parrish, who was also the Most Valuable Player. The reserve record for the year was 2-12. The season ' s suc- cess was due to hard work and overcoming the large percentage of the squad that lacked playing expe- rience. The baseball team ended up ninth in the S.W.B.L. and Jeff Par- rish was awarded Honorable Men- tion in the S.W.B.L.

Although it was not a winning record, the girls doubled their winnings from last year. Coach Cornett stated, I believe the Softball program has the nucle- us for success in the future with our returning team members. Rebecca Brown received second team All- League, and Kim Ballweg received Honorable Mention. Coach Cornett also added, We were blessed as coaches to have two of the most Marvelous Personalities in t he school on our team. The team post- ed four wins which in recent years would have been a major accom- lishment for the softball team. I at- tribute the success to the first year coaches. Chip Seidl and myself.

Sports 93 Successful The most valuable player, Andy Spears, led the Oakwood Varsity Tennis Team through their succes- ful 1988 season with a 22-5 record. The starting seven were all seniors. The teams ' biggest thrill was Cline and Spears upsetting number one ranked Wyoming ' s doubles team in district 7-5, 7-5 but missed going to state by one set. This year ' s team consisted of two four-year letter- men, three three-year lettermen, and two two-year lettermen. Com- bining their skills, hardwork and dedication, they created a winning team. The Reserve Tennis Team had a very successful season with 8 wins and 2 losses. This is especially note- worthy since all of these matches were against AAA schools, with the exception of Miami Valley. In addi- tion, one of those defeats was against Fairmont, a team that we later were able to defeat on our home courts. Matt Koch and Eric Black were able to assist the Varsi- ty team on enough occasions that they earned Varsity Letters. Scott Campbell played very well at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd singles, winning more reserve matches than any other player. Justin Branciforte, J. P. Da- vis, Chris Gray and Ken Oxley filled out the rest of the reserve team ' s top 7. All of these boys finished the season with a winning record.

Moments Activities 115 Suspense On The Stage The fall play this year threw everyone for a loop with Witness for the Prosecution, a murder mystery. The play, written by the famous Agatha Christie, is a very dramatic and clever play. It took great effort for high school students to pull off the very adult characters, but the leads had talent and went beyond everyone ' s expectations. Paul Karns played the defense attorney who was deceived by Mia Calarese, the scheming but emotional wife, and her temporary husband David Basso, who played the seeming- ly innocent suspect. The production was a joint effort involving many crews, lots of hard work behind the scenes, and exceptional direction by Mrs. Koenig. As a result the set was one of the best on the Oakwood stage in a long time. Everyone who came to the performance will remember what a hair-raising experience the 1987 fall play was. 1 Mike Lentz what really goes on behind the scenes 2 Jeff Payne helps set up between acts, 3- Yes et waz a veal cegahrette, said the lush Mia Calerese. 4.

This spirit began Thursday night at the bonfire, and it didn ' t end until late Saturday night. The excitement of the game Friday night slowly intensified as the score between Oakwood and Northridge creeped to 3-2 at the half. Then the fans eagerly awaited the announcement of the 1987 Homecoming queen, Katie Fitzpatrick. Unfortunately, by the end of the evening the game wasn ' t in Oakwood ' s favor. However, it wouldn ' t be long until the spirit of Oakwood would be lifted once again in thoughts of the dance on the very next night. 1 Erin Hayde and Jonathan Stratis prepare to crown the queen 2 The 1987 Homecoming Court. eft to right: Margaret Shane.

Activities 119 My Fair Lady — So Loverly Oakwood High School presented My Fair Lady this spring, led by David Gray and Amanda Morris. As Professor Higgins, senior Gray guided Eliza Doolittle, junior Morris, through Lerner and Loewe ' s version of the Pygmalion myth. Rob Mowry, as Eliza ' s father Alfred, brought street-smarts and a little bit of luck to the stage. Junior John Saurine fell head-over-heals in love with Eliza and spent the remainder of the play on the street where she lived. The remainder of the cast, from Higgins ' maid Mrs. Pearce, Kathryn Kane, and his sidekick Col. Pickering, J.D. Conner, to the emsemble of Cockneys, Maids, Ascot-goers, and the crew added spice to the finest production Oakwood has seen in years. 1 A chance meeting is not so chance. 2 Amanda Morris sings Just You Wait Henry Higgins. 3.

That Day in May also involved the annual Oakwood art show, a pancake breakfast, a parade through Oakwood and games and other festivities in the high school stadium. It was a hot day for all except for a few teachers who volunteered to participate in the Flush-Em , a game set up by the Roterary Club to earn scholarship money to give to an outstanding senior graduate.

From the pre-dance activities all the way through the post-dance parties, the good times certainly did roll at the 1987 Homecoming Dance. The football team ' s loss on Friday to Northridge was upsetting, but Grant Hager ' s break-dancing helped to cheer everyone up. The Girls ' Gym was rocking as WTUE ' s best came out to spin the tunes and add to the Homecoming festivities. From the fast-paced conga line, circling around the crowd, to the couples who wanted the seclusion of the corners, most can agree the dance was a great success. Although the 1987 Homecoming was a hit. Matt Langley summed it up when he said the only thing the dance needed was more Whitesnake! Dances 141 Will he or won ' t he? Can we or can ' t we? Are they or aren ' t they? These were the questions on everyone ' s mind about the Sadie Hawkins dance held this year on November 7 in the girls ' gym. The first concern was about the asking. Most girls were a bit nervous about this type of dance and many felt much apprehension when it came to asking that special some Oakwood ' s Hoedown one. The next concern on everyone ' s mind was jeans. Were we allowed to wear them or not? Even though in the begin- ning the student body was not allowed to don denim, the will of the students (espe- cially the male ones) prevailed and jeans were finally allowed. The last real con- cern came at the actual dance. The group SCAM was playing and the whole school was jamming when all of a sudden, the music died. No one was really sure if the band had just taken a break, or if they were done for the evening. Most picked the second choice, and the dance ended a bit early much to everyone ' s dismay. All in all, the dance was great and now the only question left on anyone ' s mind is, When ' s the next one? 142 Dances 1. Karen Willhide and Kim Ballweg decide it ' s time to come out of the bathroom and find their dates. 2, Beth Medford and Kevyn Coy stop from dancing to be alone. 3.

Beth Med- ford ' s dad gives her a few lessons 7 Colleen Doo ley and her pappy are all smiles 144 Dances When asked the question, With whom would you prefer to spend a Friday night? , most senior high females would never think of answering, My dad, That answer changed after the annual Jillette-sponsored Father-Daughter Dance was held on November 20th in the girls ' gym, Mr, Gray and Karen Goldman were crowned King and Queen of the dance, while Donna Geidner ' s father was tallest, Eileen Seman ' s dad was shortest, Tracy Matthews ' s dad was youngest, and Angela Gregory ' s dad was crowned the oldest father, Kara and Beth Kilian ' s dad won the prize for the most daughters. Most girls had a really great time rockin ' and rollin ' with their daddy, especially Liz Oxley and her dad who were the winners of the dance contest. Do You Compute??? It all started out with a simple questionnaire, and ended up as Oakwood ' s version of Matchmaker ' s Anonymous. Who ' s your number one? was the most frequently asked question under the dome as students gathered in the girls ' gym on February twen- ty sixth for the annual Computer Dance. 1.

No, it wasn ' t a full moon, it was just the annual Turnabout dance. As the women of OHS prepared to wine and dine the men of their choice, the men prepared to do nothing, at least nothing that involved money. The DJ from Magic 104 was there spinning the tunes, and everyone was there just dancing the night away in the girls ' gym. Scott Almoney was crowned Turnabout King by his peers. All in all, everyone had a great time this year. Dances 147 148 Dances It all started out with the question, Will you go to Prom with me? and ended in a night Oakwood Juniors and Seniors will never forget. This year ' s Prom was held on April 23rd at the Kennedy Union Ballroom with the band IMU. Everyone stopped dancing only momentarily for Grant Hager and Sharon Pohl to be named King and Queen. After Prom this year was held at Clancy ' s Tavern and Dow Thomas was the entertainment. All in all, it was an enjoyable evening and NO ONE arrived home before sunrise. 1. E.

It was Beachcombers Night, May fourteenth, 1988, and all of Oakwood came to the O.C.C.
