The beauty of the kaleidoscope is that the tiny pieces of glass are arranged and rearranged to form an infinite number of symmetrical patterns. Similarly, the individuals at OCHS seem to be insignificant and unrelated. But each individual is essential to make up the symmetrical and balanced pattern of daily life. Each person and each event adds to the rich mixture of life. Therefore, both life and the kaleidoscope are composed of small pieces that are beautiful by themselves; but when they come together to form a pattern, it is a thing wonderful to behold. 2 Kaleidoscope of fun ... 5 Kaleidoscope of involvement ... 6 7 10 Kaleidoscope of clowns ...

The Oilerettes finished a fine season at 12-0 in section play and 16-3 overall. The single most important factor in the victories was the tenacious defense, yielding only an average of 32.7 points per game, while scoring 48.2 points per game themselves. One highlight at the end of the regular season was the Oilerettes second place finish in the Grove City Tournament. A special honor for the Oilerettes was the naming of all five starters to the Section All-Star Team. Terri Babbitt, also named the league's M.V.P., and Deb Harkless were named to the first team; Karen Wujcik and jane Taylor to the second team; while Cathy Serafin was given an honorable mention.

The spark plug was senior Jim Cook, lunior Bob Mellon, who scored 29 points in one game, and Scott Sherick, who scored 43 points in a holiday tournament added the scoring punch.

Read This is the message that all of the teachers stress to their students. OCHS is fortunate to have one of the best equipped reading labs in western Pennsylvania. Reading is a valuable skill which students tend to overlook, but imagine the hardship one would face just because of a reading deficiency. The purpose of the lab is to iron out reading problems in comprehension, vocabulary, and pronunciation. A wide array of equipment from controlled readers and skimmers to accelerators and shadow scopes are available to all students to bring about improvement in their reading.

Business students prepared for future The business courses at OCHS concentrate on teaching students the skills of office work, so they can obtain a job in an office when they graduate. In order to give the required training needed for office work the course is divided into four areas: secretarial, stenographic, accounting, and clerical. These areas give training in shorthand, word processing, accounting, and office machines. After years of borrowing a memory typewriter, the business department finally purchased its own typewriter which- is self-correcting and can store material in 50 cartridges.

The purpose was to give students practical training in lawn and house plant care. The class' first project was to refurbish the school's court yards, later they completed a section on plant propagation. By the end of the semester the students were able to take home beautiful hanging baskets of wandering jew, ivys, and pogonias which they had raised from cuttings with their own green thumbs. Meanwhile, other students were hard at work in many of the other courses offered within the science department. These included general biology, Biology I II, Chemistry I II, Physics I II, earth science, space science, ecology, and anthropology.
