In The Summertime Summers are great! Long, hot days, swimming, skiing, traveling, sleeping late, no homework; this is what summer means to many. To others it means summer school or summer jobs. Many students at- tended various camps such as cheerleader camps, annual staff camp, basketball camp and band camps and clinics. Many students tried to forget that school would start soon while others longed to see their friends again. Ocean Springs provided sum- mer fun in the form of tennis and basketball courts, swimming pools, boat docks, fishing piers, shady trails, and lots of sun. Baseball games and softball games heIped to speed the sum- mer along. Ocean Spring's 5th both a boy's and girl's team to state tournaments. Vacations to Florida, Cali- fornia, or Disneyworld highlighted to summer for many. As vacation wound down and school started earlier than ever before, students were faced with getting up early again and adjust- ing to a new routine. Even though most people do not swim in the water, many do enjoy the sun and sand of Front Beach in Ocean Springs.

Back To The Grind Students were greeted on the first day of school with various signs, placed on the building by unknown?? persons who never confessed. This started off the day with smiles, but many soon faded as lines at the counselors' offices grew longer, books in tired arms piled higher and teachers became more irritable. By the end of the day, everyone was convinced that the routine had begun. But there were the usual bright, though sometimes hard to discover, aspects of school life. Classes began to have meetings and get down to serious business, prac- tices for varied sports began, and the extra- curricular projects of the many clubs were in full swing. Those who participated were usually en- thusiastic if only for a short time. Class meetings were well attended, though few true workers were present. Students taking part in sports learned if there was no enthusiasm there were usually no more practices for them. Clubs decided on methods to deprive the pri- vileges of the clubs to those who did not par- ticipate in activities. The classes began the usual battle among themselves. There was much competition evident but through it all the feeling of Grey- hound Pride thrived! So began another year at OSHS. But somehow . . . things were different. We made the difference! We made this year not just another year ! mmmm The senior class started the year off with a community service project. Armed with paintbrushes and white wash, the students tackled the sea wall amid a down- pour of rain. 14
