We have a new telephone system and a computer for attendance records which necessitated creating separate homerooms for vo-tech students. The building was made accessible to wheelchairs, and the senior class enchanced the courtyard with their oil derrick project. The football team, in their colorful new jerseys, stimulated school spirit with several exciting wins, and the Oiler Marching Band expanded its ranks by adding a dance line. Dr. Matchulet retired at mid-year and Mr. Howard Lehman succeeded him as superintendent. This '85 Oil Can focuses on these as well as other fascinating CHANCES.

Through these changes we have broken old traditions and perhaps have begun some new ones. We may have even put a foot over the line of discrimination with a woman running for vice president and one walking in space. In the words of Benjamin Disraeli, Change is inevitable in a progressive country; change is constant. Top: Allegheny Square revitalizes Oil City's business district.

Three girls from the class of '85 were chosen for the Oil Heritage Court. Students also helped with and participated in Junior Olympics, pool parties, the kiddie parade, fun fair, bike race, parade, and teen dance. Ethnic Days, Polish Night, and the blue grass concert also provided entertainment for students and faculty as members of the community.

The jobs are different, but the main objective is the same — to make money. Besides jobs, many people have interesting hobbies. Whether flying a plane or taking Karate lessons, hobbies can be both fun and educational. Top right: Should I save that lady? — Ed Munoz at Hasson Pool.

The 1980's have thus far been filled with new fads, fashions, and pastimes. Our tastes in music, clothing, and dancing are altered by the new medium of music video. Whether one is a devotee of either heavy metal or Michael Jackson, the modern styles are shaped by both. New fads like break dancing and hacky-sack require practice if one seeks proficiency, and you can see people participating in these activities just about anywhere at anytime. How long will these things last? No one knows, but we do know styles, like moods, are ever changing. Top: Kim Boyle and friends play a game of hacky-sack during homeroom (photo taken before hacky-sack prohibition). Middle: High tech comes to the American auto industry in the form of the Fiero.

Passing the time Whether it is spent taking a cool dip in the city pool or walking around the mall, there never seems to be enough spare time. The only way to combat this problem is to make the best use of the time available. Students and teachers alike, amuse themselves in various ways. Some prefer to watch while others like to do, but however this time is spent, it is obviously an important part of our lives. Above: A little volleyball before practice?

It includes not only homework and class study, but also sports, extracurricular activities, pep rallies, and spending time with friends or just being alone. Every aspect of school life has a lasting effect, and at this point, much of a student's life revolves around the school environment. 16 Top right: One of OCHs' favorite couples is Ron and Missy.

This year dress- up days were limited to three. Monday of that week was designated as camouflage day. Everyone got out their khakis and army fatigues. Wednesday was clash day. This day everyone mismatched colors, checks, and plaids. Some of the outfits were quite “loud . Friday, as always, was blue and white day! The best two representatives, 1 girl and 1 boy, of blue and white from each class were in the Homecoming Parade. Preceding the parade, a brunch sponsored by the Retail Merchants Association was served at the Oil Baron Restaurant. Along with teachers and administrators, student leaders of Student Council and Junior and Senior classes, cleerleading co-captains, drum majors, exchange students, and varsity football co-captains attended the brunch. Afterwards, these people were joined by the Oil City and Franklin marching bands to proceed through town giving the first look at the Homecoming court. The grand marshall was Dr. Matchulet. Before the game against Franklin, the court was escorted onto the field by the J.V. football players, and introduced. Stephanie Scierka then sang the National Anthem. During halftime, Jane Hajduk was crowned Homecoming queen, and pictures were taken. When the team returned to the field balloons bought by spectators and 50 balloons donated to the band were released. Saturday evening. Homecoming Week was concluded with a decorated, semi-formal dance from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The week was very successful.

This event is junior sponsored, and this year the class of '86 achieved a profit for people other than themselves. Community Services of Venango County received approximately 100 toys for their Toys for Tots campaign. Each person attending the dance was asked to bring a toy, in good condition, to make Christmas joyful for a needy child. It is hoped that this will become an annual request. The Christmas court is the one where the men are recognized, and this year Steve Anderton was selected king along with Kim Rice as queen. The rest of the court included: juniors, Mike Jolley and Susan Stephens; sophomores, Tony Bu-cholz and Missy DeAngelis; freshmen, Mike Tighe and Jennifer Kibbe. The dance was very classy . Everyone dressed in their most festive and stylish outfits. The decorations were simple, but very appropriate. Santa's Workshop was set up with toys every child wishes for, and lighted trees were placed in the center of the dance floor. The effect, with Santa Claus included, was very festive and cosy. Top: Junior Class Officers, Mark Campbell and Chris Culbertson, are pleased with the success of the dance.

During this time there were several traditional events which occurred. Each day a sport was represented with an Oiler of the Day, starting with basketball on Monday. Tuesday, everyone was blinded with colors such as hot pink, orange, yellow, and green worn for fluorescent day. Valentine's Day gave our eyes no rest with all shades of red and pink. This year the seniors tried something new. Send a Lolly proved to be a big success. For just 25c a lollipop containing one of four messages could be sent to your favorite person. Valentine's cards were also sold. A pep rally was held on Friday, which was blue and white day, to introduce members of the Winter Sports court. Because of a tie in voting, the court consisted of 7 girls instead of 5 as in the past years. Crowning of the queen, Robin Emanuele, was conducted Saturday night at the formal dance sponsored by the Senior Class.

Swing Out, held on May third, involved the A Cappella, Stage Band, Mixed Ensemble, and 10th Grade Girls Chorus. This is the last concert of the year and recognizes graduating seniors. Five girls who participate in either the band or A Cappella are chosen by their fellow members to make up the Swing Out court. These girls and their escorts are introduced and the queen is crowned at the special ceremony on Friday night. Afterwards, a formal dance is held for members of the band and A Cappella and their guests. Special thanks goes to Mr. English and Mr. McConnell for making this evening so special.

An unprecedented three rock groups performed in the show. The first, Outside Inside, played two current pop songs; another, Ernie's Raiders, played for the heavier rock crowd. The third was an air band, an act whose type had never before performed in a talent show. The quality of the soloists and dance acts was very high this year. The solos ranged from traditional ballads to pop rock songs, and most dance acts offered variations from standards which were set in previous shows. Bill Adams, Kim Brown, Jane Hajduk, and Mark Petulla were Emcees. Their job was to provide what Mr. McConnell calls the glue that holds the show together. The musical, which was presented after the talent show this year, was Guys and Dolls. The setting is New York in the 1940's. The story centers around a group of gamblers, their girls, and their troubles. There are two love stories involved. The first involves Nathan Detroit, proprietor of The Oldest Established Floating Crap Game in New York. The object of his attention is Miss Adelaide, a night club singer, to whom Nathan has been engaged for fourteen years. The other romance is between another high-roller, Sky Mas-terson, and Sarah Brown, the head of the run down Save-a-Soul Mission. The set was designed by Amy Stahlman as part of a music appreciation project. It features two revolving wagons and a full stage drop of New York and the sewer. The cast, after working with a five week rehearsal schedule, presented the show on April 19th and 20th in the fine tradition of the previous musicals held at OCHS. The Talent show was directed by Mr. McConnell and Mr. English; Guys and Dolls was directed by Mr. and Mrs. McConnell. Top: Kim, Jane, and Bill react to Mark's ideas about the show.

The theme was Showboat — A Night in Paradise. The class advisor, Mr. Shoup, along with several students, made three trips to Pittsburgh to pick out costumes and decorations. The boys spent most of the time doing carpentry work. They built the outside of the boat and three gazebos. The girls helped paint the boat, and everyone helped decorate the ceiling with crepe paper streamers. Upon entering the gym, a couple walked up the dock onto the deck of the boat where they were greeted by gamblers and the captain. They then walked inside the boat to a ballroom where they were served by waiters. The refreshment area was set off by a revolving column. Another addition to the prom was a waterfall, where underclassmen distributed hand made silk flowers. The Cubs, who provided the entertainment, differed from past years by their style of hard rock-n-roll selections of music unlike the traditional dance music from previous proms.

Sports We look for something we can be good at, and if we find it, the transition from childhood to adulthood is much easier —Author Unknown Oilerettes co-champions in Section 2 With seven returning letterwinners and a fine group of underclassmen, the Oilerettes again displayed a successful season, the varsity finishing 9-1 and junior varsity 8-2. Their action-filled schedule included nineteen games overall, ten Section 2 matches, in addition to five tournaments. The Oilerettes were quarter-finalists at the Meadville and Conneaut Lake tourneys and semi-finalists at the Farrell tournament. The varsity's one loss in the section was to Cranberry, a close 5-game match. Later in the season the Oilerettes were victorious over the Berries making the two teams co-champs of Section 2.

Girls' track captures third district title The girls' track team unexpectedly won the district title for the third straight year, and they accomplished this with only fifteen girls. Before districts, they were also able to capture a tie for the section title. Stephanie Scierka (3200m run) and Bridget Hale (300m intermediate hurdles) made it to states. During the season a total of six records were broken with Bridget setting a district record in the hurdles, and Stephanie, Katie Winger, Tammy Milner, and Rose Scierka setting a new section record in the 3200m relay.

They completed the dual meet season with only two losses to Erie strongholds, Cathedral Prep and McDowell. Under the leadership of veteran head coach Bob Craig, the Oilers took one of the strongest teams, number-wise , to the District meet held at Fairview; however, the Oilers settled for a disappointing fifth. Along with the successes of Mike Renninger and Chris Conway in winning District X titles, which allowed them to compete in the state meet, the team enjoyed the experience gained and the foundation built for an even better team the following year.

The season marked Crunk's 25th year of coaching Oil City tennis. The Maureen Lundquist award was given to Eric, whose leadership inspired a positive team attitude, from shoveling snow in early spring to playing in the district meet. Eric, along with Brian Rea, captured first flight doubles as the team overall took second place at the tricounty championships. Though short on experience, strong doubles gave the depth the team needed for a successful season. The 1985 team also looks for a good season with both experience and depth.

Though the team lacked competition in the surrounding area, a spark existed within the members themselves, motivating them to work very hard. The girls remained undefeated and recaptured the Section II championship. The district title was not easily won, just barely squeezing by Villa Maria. Although requiring much travel, invitational allowed them to race with more competitive teams and to see where they stood throughout the state. It gave them a sense of confidence upon entering districts. Placing in the top five in districts were Stephanie and Rose Scierka and Marty Marczak. Jennifer Baldauff, the deciding factor, placed before two Villa Maria girls allowing OC to win. The team placed seventh once again in the state meet held at Lehigh University.

Another goal was to defend the Section II title, now called the Tri-County Athletic Conference. The first step in attaining these goals was to win the Titusville relay, which was easily accomplished. Next came a third place finish at the Malone Invitational, followed by a strong finish at the Central Catholic Invitational. Another goal was to continue the winning streak, which extends back into 1982. As expected, the Oilers posted an unspoiled mark, going 7-0 on the season. With this unblemishing record also came the fourth consecutive Section II title. At last came the final test — the district meet. The Oilers met the challenge of all the best teams in the district and, placing five runners in the top ten, destroyed their closest opponent with an unprecedented score of 27-80. After winning districts, the team went to the state meet with the hopes of placing in the top ten. Once again this goal was attained, with a seventh place finish. The Oilers were led by senior captains Mike Renninger, Ed Munoz, Tom Berry, Jason Bablak, and Mike Baldauff. Mike Renninger's fourteenth place at states this year enabled him to be named to the all-state team for the third year, a feat no other Oil City cross country runner has ever accomplished. Other key members were senior Mike Hovis and junior Ernie Proper. Top right: F.d and Tom work up S-bend. Middle: The Titusville relay champs.

The Oil City girls' volleyball team experienced a big change this year when their season was switched from spring to fall. It meant starting practices in the beginning of August and playing their first official game in September. This didn't affect their quality of play on the court which is evident in the varsity's record of 12 wins and 1 loss and the JV's record of 10 wins and 3 losses. A non-league match that can always be expected to be exciting is the Oil City versus Cranberry game, as was the case this fall season. Even though the Oilerettes lost, they fought a tough 5-game match. Five tournaments were also part of the varsity's schedule. The Oilerettes earned a first place at the Saegertown tournament and third places at the Seneca and Maplewood tourneys. Both the varsity and junior varsity are coached by Lynn and Jim Smith. Districts were held on November 1 and 2 in Meadville. The Oilerettes were victorious over Villa Maria but entered the losers bracket after a loss to Seneca, the 1984 District 10 champs. The next day the players lost a frustrating match to Villa Maria which eliminated them from the tourney. The first fall season of volleyball proved to be a very positive and rewarding one.

The only other time they came so close to a winning season recently was in 1982 with a 4-4-1 record. The Oilers defense was quite impressive this year. At the end of the season they had not one, but ten defensive leaders. Leading Linebacker was Mike Jolley, leading in the secondary was Bill Dawson, and leading linemen were co-captain Jeff Tarr and Matt Miller. Additional leaders include Todd Piendel, Tim Wilson, Pete Straub, Mike Gesing, and Shane Fisher. Offensively they did just as well. Leading receivers were Jeff Davis (19 receptions 350 yards), Bill Weber (14 receptions 256 yards), and C.P. Mooney (10 receptions 202 yards). The two leading rushers were Chris Conway (147 rushes 754 yards) and Mike Jolley (82 rushes 287 yards). Co-captain and quarterback Steve Anderton attempted 100 passes and completed 46 of them, 9 of which were touchdowns.

The offense was led by Ed Whitman, Jeff Womer, Bill Wilkenson, Jeff Long and Wes Gaylor. When Wes was injured during the season, the offense suffered the last two games. Defensively, Mark Baughman, Bill Wilkinson, Ed Whitman, Bill Heber, Jeff Brown, and Mike Huey all excelled throughout the season. For most of each game, there was a maximum of 17 squad members who played. They finished their season with a record of 2-4 under the coaching of Dan York and John Axelson.

This year's team participated in 14 dual meets and two seasonal tournaments. Many members of the Jayvee team felt that these extra matches helped them improve and gave them much needed experience.

Mr. Groover's appointment to the head coach position came after the resignation of two-year coach, Mike Hardy. In the past Groover had coached at Oil City Junior High School as well as other high schools such as Reynolds and Jamestown, PA. His leadership along with assistant coach Bill Tenney's allowed an inexperienced varsity team a 10-7 finish, which is very good considering the Oilers included many of the top ranked teams in the state in their schedule.

Boys' basketball sets high goals for next year The Oiler boys' basketball team was plagued throughout the year by poor shooting and ballhandling. If we had shot better, we would have been capable of having a very good year. As it turned out, we struggled through the opening part of the season but recovered somewhat in a very dramatic, emotional victory over league-leading Titusville at home. Our strong point this season was definitely our rebounding capability. In all the games we played this season, we were only out-rebounded in five. This is saying something since the schedule included five trips to Erie and several games with some of the top teams in the state. Thirteen of those games were road trips meaning that Oil City will have an unusual number of home games next year. Hopefully the House of Hustle will be rocking with enthusiasm as the Oilers kick off the 1985 season with high hopes. The future is very promising for the Oilers as eight underclassmen gained valuable experience this year, all of them starting at one time or another. The seniors, led by co-captains C. P. Mooney and Jeff Davis, showed their leadership. Davis and Mooney provided a lot of offensive punch, and Tom McMahon and George Gregory came off the bench to provide a spark — McMahon with his long-range bombers and Gregory with his tenacious defensive skills. Juniors Brad Q Quattro and Dave Reese Speece led the junior troops as starters most of the season, both scoring inside considerably and controlling the boards. Also at a starting spot for several of the games in the second half of the season was Matt Duey Miller at a guard position. Other juniors that saw action were Eric Hutch Hutchinson at center, Dave Weasel Becki at guard, and Todd Piendel at forward. Sophomore Mark Bull Baughman also contributed significantly in the final Oiler games as did freshman Mike Highfield. With increased emphasis on attitude, hard work, and shooting, the O team for 1985 could turn things around and contend for a playoff spot in AAA TCAC Division 1.

Although there were discouraging times during the season they still held on and never quit. Their schedule was filled with many long bus trips, including five to Erie. The height of the season was reached when they beat their arch-rivals Franklin 42-40 in overtime. They showed they were capable of being a winning team even though it wasn't seen in their record. They will be working for a winning season next year with the returning letter-men. 1984-85 JV Boys’ Basketball Oil City Opponent 49 Greenville 46 39 McDowell 56 32 Titusville 50 33 Grove City 47 37 Franklin 56 51 Northwestern 38 42 Mercer 44 43 Rocky Grove 58 49 Warren 55 54 Erie Academy 68 33 Meadville 52 56 Cranberry 43 31 Titusville 50 34 Cranberry 36 46 Erie Tech 53 42 Franklin 40 48 Kennedy Christian 63 52 Warren 43 53 Erie East 33 57 Rocky Grove 53 37 Meadville 43 Won 7 Lost 14 Top left: John goes for two points.

She was given some help later from the Varsity bench. At the beginning of the year, I set three goals for them. I wanted them to have learning experience, improve their skills and function as a team, stated the coach. While thinking about her words, she realized their drastic improvement throughout the year. Julie Gomola led the Oilerettes in points closely followed by Sarah Korpela. Sarah also pulled down the most rebounds. Terri Brumbaugh and Heidi Wagner were acknowledged as the most improved players, and Laura Russell was given the title of Ms. Hustle.

Having completed one season coaching junior varsity. Peg McDougal became head coach. The playing season was also changed from the fall to the winter, so they could go directly from their season games to play-offs. The young team experienced numerous difficulties. Two of the returning lettermen, Beth Stephens and April Bills, were restricted by ailments. Bridget Hale, another letterman, suffered a broken ankle in the home opener against McDowell and was able to return only for the last seven games. This left Jane Hajduk as the only experienced varsity player. Despite their difficulties, Coach McDougal was impressed with their hard-working and winning attitudes. She said, I'm pleased to have determined players. When they were down, they maintained themselves. Jane Hajduk completed an excellent season as the top scorer and rebounder. She was also named the team's most valuable player. Middle right: April Bills takes a shot from the foul line. Bottom left: Jane Hajduk says, But coach, I wasn't pushing her.

The lack of depth was the main reason for their 5-6 record. Although they started with approximately 30 girls, only half of them completed the season. The team consisted of several quality swimmers who were able to fill the first and second po-sitions, but the team didn't have enough depth for a complete line-up. This assured the opposing team at least third, fourth, and fifth place in several events. 1984-85 Girls' Swimming Oil City 74 McDowell Opponent 94 69 Titusville 102 97 Warren 73 85 Franklin 71 59 Meadville 112 69 Titusville 102 91 Warren 80 72 Northeast 99 100 Franklin 66 63 Meadville 108 93 Brookville 77 Won 5 Lost 6 School records set 1 meter diving — Beth Snyder — 2537 100 free — Colleen Sullivan — 56.5 100 fly — Colleen Sullivan — 104.1 Coaches Dan Fritz and Gayle Smith were pleased with the Oilerettes overall performances, noting that new records were set by Colleen Sullivan and Beth Snyder.

The team was coached again this year by Dan Fritz with help from Coach Gayle Smith. Although the team lacked the depth of last year, they had many talented swimmers on the team. Returning seniors were Mike Hovis, Mike Baldauff, Kevin Wilson, John Gilger, Kurt Kern (co-captain), and Mike Allison (cocaptain). Other returning lettermen were Wes Gaylor, Eric Smith, Charles Stover, and Jeff Hovis. Wes Gaylor conquered more than half of the school and pool records this year, and won the 100 fly at districts. At the state meet, Wes placed third in the 100 fly and fifth in the 100 freestyle, making the all-state team for the second year in a row. Wes was the first Oil City swimmer ever to win state medals. Swimming is a very demanding sport. Swim practice requires two and a half hours every night plus Saturday mornings. Some swimmers even go to the extremes of shaving their heads, legs, and arms to lower their times to qualify or to win districts. Top right: Clutch completes a reverse in the pike position.

Some of his objectives in intramurals are, to provide the opportunity for students to enlarge their circle of friends, to help individuals realize their potential, and to equip students with skills, knowledge of rules, strategy, and courtesy. But his two main goals are to provide fun for students through physical activities and to teach valuable lessons, such as punctuality, temper control, value of teamwork and to fulfill commitments. Intramurals are for the people who like to participate in sports, but don't have the time or dedication for a varsity sport. Some of the sports that are played are basketball, floor hockey, soccer, speedball, and football. Some more possible activities that Coach Patterson is thinking about trying are archery, table tennis, tennis, and handball. The Weight Training Program is conducted by Mr. Patterson every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, December through March immediately after school. This year a record number of participants benefited from the program with 33 girls aqd 35 boys involved. Each workout starts with a half mile run, followed by nine minutes of exercise. Weight trainers work in groups of three, guided by a tape player which enables everyone to use the equipment in a carefully designed sequence, without conflicts concerning who should be using what equipment. The program isn't geared to any one sport but is an all-around program designed to develop all areas of the body. Top left: Molly and Anne have a kick fight for the ball.

This was Miss McConnell's final year as advisor for the cheerleaders. She held the position for three years and found that it was too time consuming. Mrs. Patterson remains as the ninth grade advisor. The cheerleaders have done many things to promote school spirit including conducting pep rallies, selling spirit ribbons, and supplying locker decorations. This year the girls also purchased several permanent signs which are presently hanging in the gym. The logos on the signs read We love our Oilers, Looks Like A Blue White Night, and Victory Is Our Destiny. Also spirit buttons containing the same messages were made available for Oiler fans.

Let go of lower things and reach for the higher. Surround yourself with the best in books, music and art. — Wilferd Peterson French students experience a change in culture The language department at Oil City is an intensive training course in foreign languages and cultures. The three languages offered are French, German, and Spanish. Mr. Bruce McFall instructs the French classes and also serves as department head; Mr. Gary Marzolf teaches German, and Spanish is taught by Mr. William Say. Each language may be studied for four years beginning with basics in grammar and vocabulary. After the student has a feel for the language, other areas such as culture and history, are touched upon. Stories and books are translated into English as a final proof of the student's ability to grasp the language. Top left: Marybeth, Shruti, and Julie are captivated by the beauty of the cathedral, while Tracey is captivated by another sight . Top middle: The French students land in Luxembourg. Top right: French I always tends to bring out the best in everybody. Unlike most departments, learning a foreign language does not stop when school is closed. The German club sponsors activities, such as Oktoberfest and a German weekend trip. Each language department offers a trip to their respective country of study about every second or third year. Last spring, the French students visited France for nine days during Easter vacation. On the tour, the students visited many cities, such as Tours, Rouen, Reims, and Paris. In these fascinating cities the students saw beautiful cathedrals, and toured awe-inspiring castles and other buildings, such as the Eiffel Tower. The trip also gave the students an opportunity to observe a culture different from their own. Such an experience is not only fun, but also educational and well worth the effort and expense.

English Department stresses language skills The English Department at Oil City Area Senior High School prides itself on its reputation for preparing students for adult life. Whether one is a corporate lawyer or a skilled laborer, English skills are necessary for functioning in modern society. Our English course of study stresses grammar, vocabulary, literature, and speaking and writing skills. Students can take advantage of a wide variety of courses in both college preparatory and general areas. Electives are also available for those interested in such things as speech, dramatics and writing for publications. A special course in research technique also yields an academic credit.

Courses in American and world cultures are required for students in grades nine through eleven. During these six semesters students are instructed in a broad spectrum of course study, from the American Revolution to current international events. In twelfth grade students may opt for a specialized accelerated program entitled Critical Issues. In this class, students spend half the year in a traditional social studies environment and the other half discussing topics of major importance to today's world. Oil City Area Senior High School differs from many other secondary schools in that it offers electives in this area of study. In the past the department has offered courses in such things as Sociology, the study of movements of people, and U.S. Military History, an in-depth view of America at war. Our Social Science Department offers much diversity and many challenging topics of the world both past and present. Top: Missile A should strike here. — Mike Tighe.

Bottom: Jeff Davis observes as Traci Zillifro and Angie Hajduk work in physics lab. OCHS has a diversified science department. Along with course offerings in the three major sciences of biology, chemistry, and physics, the department includes earth and space sciences, horticulture, and ecology. Advanced instruction is available through Biology II and Chemistry II, and there are still plans to introduce Physics II into the curriculum. A new addition to the department this year is a general chemistry course for non-academic students. A change that is being planned and prepared for is the incorporation of computer work into the chemistry and physics classes. Another significant difference is that the enrollment in science classes has increased by approximately 100 students, indicating that students are taking advantage of the variety of courses that are available. 67 Mr. Weisenfluh's leave rearranges Math Dept. The Mathematics Department has remained essentially unchanged for the past few years although the teaching assignments are rearranged this year due to Mr. Weisenfluh being on sabbatical leave. This department, however, has the distinction of offering students a special opportunity. Mr. Husband, the department head, teaches a Pitt calculus course which the students can take for college credit at a fraction of the usual cost of the course. Another feature that is different about this department is that it is two courses of study in one. Beyond the study of math lie the computer science courses in the Basic and Pascal languages. Many of the teachers had to go back to retrain for these classes, and some are still taking courses to keep them proficient at teaching,although their only reward for this is gratitude.

Two new teachers join Business Department Middle right: Kelley Fridley types on the Electronic 85. Bottom: Miss Ashworth prepares her students for the business world. The Business Department provides job skills and hands-on training on advanced equipment to those students planning careers in business and industry. Non-business students can also develop necessary skills in accounting and typing for their own personal use. The three main programs of study are accounting, stenographic-secretarial, and clerical. Accounting courses deal with the entire accounting cycle and computer concepts in accounting. Stenographic-secretarial classes emphasize office procedures, shorthand, and word processing. In the clerical program, students are taught how to operate office machines properly. The classroom use of sophisticated equipment, such as the Display Writer word processor, the Electronic 85 typewriter, and various microcomputers, reflects the technology of the present business community. A significant change in the Business Department is the addition of two new teachers, Miss Julie Ashworth and Mrs. Olene Stuart. Miss Ashworth teaches Typing I, Accounting II, Accounting III, and Business Mathematics, while Mrs. Stuart is the instructor of the ninth-grade typing classes. Top: Jill Wickman demonstrates the Display Writer word processor. Middle left: Typing requires concentration. 69 Reading lab is for everyone Mrs. Smith is the teacher who provides individual attention to her reading lab students. Her job has been divided this year between junior and senior high. The lab doesn't open until third period, which allows less time for help for the senior high students. The reading-lab is a program at OCHS in which students give up a semester of study halls to further develop and improve reading comprehension, vocabulary, study skills, and reading rates. This program is voluntary and no credits are given. Pretesting and post-testing are given, only to show improvements, and self-evaluation and evaluation from Mrs. Smith are the ways students judge their achievements. This is provided for any student in any course who wants or needs to improve his or her reading skills. Aside from satisfaction from their own personal achievements, the reading students also enjoy a big brother or sister program with local elementary students. The high school students have a pen pal correspondence with the younger children which helps them develop their skills even further. Their letters, in turn, are used to help teach writing skills and grammar in the elementary classes. In addition, near the end of the school year, the little brothers and sisters get a chance to visit their big brothers and sisters, and tour the high school with them. The reading lab students should be commended for the extra work they do in order to improve themselves. Top left: A reader works to improve his skills. Top right: Big Brother Doug and his little buddy. Middle: Mrs. Smith helps a student. Bottom: Reading lab students give their pen pals tours of the school. 70 Special Education designed for special needs Special Education programs are available at OCHS for students who need them to develop their study skills. Each student is given his or her own individual course of study to follow. Some students need use only a few periods for this, while others require several periods to meet their learning needs. The teachers heading this program are a special group of people. They assist the students in developing their skills, and help them prepare for and adjust to the work and situations of regular classrooms. All students look forward to one of this department's activities: The Special Olympics. This event provides a chance for both students who are in the special programs and those who are not to be together. This is a truly remarkable and enjoyable experience. And this year new events such as basketball, volleyball, and swimming will allow room for many more people to participate. In addition to Special Olympics in the spring, there is now Special Olympics Bowling in mid-winter. It will provide yet another opportunity for students to get involved. Top: The satisfaction of helping shows in Holly Gariepy's eyes. Middle: Kelley Nurss keeps score for the student bowlers. Bottom left: Walter gives it his all. Bottom right: Mike concentrates on his bowling game. 71 Art study stimulates creativity The Oil City Art Department consists of two instructors. The head of the department is Mr. Applequist. He teaches basic and advanced 2-D art and art appreciation, which is a course designed for those students with an interest in how the visual arts affect history and are affected by it. The basic 2-D art course provides an overall background in drawing and painting and stresses the development of good techniques for each. Mr. Fletcher is in charge of the 3-D art courses. In his basic program students are introduced to various media including modeling, pottery, and sculpture. During each grading period certain requirements must be completed. Both of the advanced courses are independent study which permits the student to choose specific areas of experience and media in which to work. Top: Mr. Fletcher gives Carla Morrison a few instructions as she throws a pot. Middle left: Robert Nurss sands his pot before having it fired. Middle right: Amy Stahlman and Mark Hutchinson appear to be working intensely. Bottom left: Brenda Coleman practices her 3-D art skills. Bottom middle: Shelly Patterson displays her soft-sculpture baby. 72 Health and physical education stress fitness Miss Adams stresses that the health course is the only course that deals directly in matters of life and death. Good health and physical fitness are important for one to function successfully in our society. She feels that more health should be taught as well as offering some elective health courses such as exercise physiology, human sexuality, and drugs and alcohol. Health continually changes in research and new discoveries. Mr. Patterson does not anticipate many changes in the physical education program. He feels that we have reached the point where it would be difficult to make changes without detracting from a well rounded program. Mr. Patterson states We teach attitudes, knowledge, and skills through the physical domain as opposed, but not diametrically, to the cognitive domain predominant in the academic disciplines. Top: John Kreidler and David Winger spot Eric Thompson on the rings. Middle: Students participate in square dancing during phys. ed. class. Bottom left: Nicole Delmonaco assists Miss Adams in health class. Bottom right: Lewis Smith tries to improve his headstand. 73 Home Ec introduces microwave cooking The Home Ec Department offers an interesting variety of courses which prepare students for practical aspects of adult life. The courses included are chef, child care, home ec, ninth grade life skills, and social psychology. From year to year these courses are updated depending on the new trends, products, etc. One change this year, resulting from the addition of a new micro-wave and convection oven, will be the introduction of microwave cooking into the chef classes. Home ec courses are different from other classes, because students get to participate in lab experiments, and instead of using textbooks, they get hands-on experiences. In addition they have the opportunity to work in groups and learn to cooperate with other people. An excellent example of this is the playschool that the child care, general home ec, and social psychology classes sponsor each spring. The students are in charge of developing different learning activities, and they study the different stages of childhood. Top: Matt and Todd check their steaks in chef. Middle left: Ninth graders attempt cooking in life skills class. Middle right: Kim Coogan puts the final touches on her flour baby. Bottom left: Greg Pochran tries out the new microwave oven. Bottom right: Miss McConnell serves refreshments to playschoolers at graduation. 74 Industrial Arts adds different processes The Industrial Arts advanced woodworking has constructed a steam chamber that enables students to bend wood strips by steaming them until the wood is pliable enough to bend around forms. The product will be a complete toboggan. Another area of instruction involves building a recurve bow using Fi-berglas, maple, and walnut laminations inserted in a bow clamping press. The finished product is sure to put venison on the table. The advanced metals class has added the process of centrifugal casting. The student places a wax pattern in a plaster mold. The cavity left when the wax melts allows molten gold or silver to be molded into rings with very accurate detail. This lost wax process is thousands of years old, but newly made available to OCHS students. Architectural students are working on plans of their own design for houses that may someday be built right here in Oil City. The principles of architectural design become a reality for these students. Photography students are realistically capturing memorable moments in our school year by recording on film those precious times. The two major philosophies of this department stress independence and creativity and a hands-on policy where students put to use their acquired knowledge and planning, and can readily see their results.

To all interested students throughout the area, the Venango County Area Vocational Technical School offers training on a variety of different levels: technical, skilled and operative. Although one course was eliminated, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, there are still fourteen different programs offered. They are: Appliance Repair, Auto Body, Auto Trades, Basic Electronics, Building Maintenance, Carpentry, Cosmetology, Distributive Marketing Education, Drafting, Food Service, Home Health Management Assistant, Machine Trade, Petroleum Production, and Welding Metal Fabrication. Data Processing, a technical course, requires all academic courses. The co-operative program allows a student to work at a part-time job rather than attending Vo-Tech. If a student has high grades, excellent attendance, and a recommendation from his her teacher, this program is available after training two years at Vo-Tech. Vo-Tech also has a student governing body comparable to the Student Council. It is called the Vo-Tech Student Senate. The senate sponsors the annual Vo-Tech week, an activity that involves all students. Vo-Tech had no major changes this year, but they are constantly updating and revising their programs to benefit the students. Because the student is prepared for the job immediately after high school, the revisions tremendously help each and every student. Although this is advantageous, the student will only get out of it, what he puts in it. Vocational training prepares Top left: Jeff is thoroughly enjoying his work. — Welding.

Middle: UPWARD BOUND: (sitting) — Jeff Hudson, Stacey Gadley, Carrie Urey, Tim McDonald, (standing) — Dave Mast, Molly Bigelow, Charlene Tobey, Tammy Patterson, Mrs. King. Bottom: Eager students listen to Mrs. McCandless The Guidance Department has been an essential part of development of character and career for many students over the years. The counselors are involved in such things as correcting schedule conflicts, giving standardized testing, and providing aid and advice about college. One major unit that provides career information is the week long class type situation in which the counselors help students recognize all their choices. All juniors participate in this unit and receive credit for it in their English classes. during a career unit. This department is set apart from the other OCHS departments in that it is more individual. The counselors have a chance to help students with personal matters, not just school related topics, and all things are confidential. New this year is the secretary, Mrs. Tharp. She has been an educational aide for the school district for the past 16 years before becoming the secretary in February 1984. In addition to the other new computers in the building, the guidance department hopes by the end of this year to have a computer that will be of help in searching for colleges, financial aid, career search, and SAT review. Upward Bound is a program offered through the Guidance Department that helps students who aren't familiar with college to prepare for further studies and career goals. This program helps students discover their abilities and talents, and improve their weaker points. Campus days and summer sessions are some of the activities Upward Bound students engage in. On campus days speakers talk to the students on a variety of subjects ranging from study habits to admission to college. Summer sessions last five weeks and the students stay in the dorms. Tenth and eleventh grade students take classes in English and math, as well as a career course, and they learn how to study and prepare for tests. Seniors take college level English and math. One Oil City student, Missy Hogan, had the opportunity to attend the Presidential Classroom. She went to the capital and listened to senators and representatives explain such topics as the SALT talks. In this way she was able to understand more about world topics. Two Oil City students made these comments on Upward Bound when asked what they got out of it. Molly Bigelow: I know more about how to apply to colleges, and I think my grades are better. Missy Hogan: I'm prepared for next year's classes, and I can strengthen my weaker points. The Daughters of the American Revolution citizenship award is given to a senior student at OCHS each year. The student is chosen by the seniors on basis of: cooperation, leadership, personality, patriotism, devotion, and dependability. The seniors try to pick a student who meets the qualifications. April Bills was chosen by her classmates as this year's recipient. She received a pin and a certificate in recognition of this award.

The groups have actively participated in community performances at such places as the Belle Lettres, Kiwanis, Lions, and Rotary Clubs, the junior high, and the Presbyterian home. The concerts performed by the different choruses include the Christmas concert in December, the winter concert in January, and Swing Out in May. Seven students were selected to participate in the district chorus held in Franklin, and for the first time all seven also qualified for regionals in Indiana, PA. Greg Dauberger received the honor of advancing to State Chorus. All of the vocal music groups are under the direction of Mr. John McConnell.

OCHS hosts first annual stage band festival Instrumental music, under the direction of Mr. Robert English, consists of Stage Band, Concert Band, and the Ninth Grade Band. Stage Band plays at basketball games, the talent show. Swing Out, and at many organizations throughout the community. This year marked the first annual stage band festival held here in Oil City with seven other bands participating. The large Concert Band made up of sixty musicians entertained at the Christmas Concert, a mid-winter concert held on February 6, and Band Night in the Spring. The musical talent of OCHS musicians was recognized when, through auditions, Mark Clark, Dan Heasley, Jennifer Gold, Laurie Hartzell, and Adam Gold were selected to the Indiana University Honors Band. This year's District Band representatives were Mark Clark, Dan Heasley, Roberta Shreffler, Jennifer Gold, Laurie Hartzell, and Adam Gold. Laurie, Roberta, and Jennifer advanced to Regional Band along with Mark Clark who was also chosen for State Band. Top right: Mr. English conducts the band during the Christmas concert.

This fall the band was performing for nine consecutive Saturdays in competitions and at football games. The OMB took first place in the DuBois parade, and Mark Clark was named best soloist in the competition later that evening. The drum majors and drum line deserve special recognition for taking several caption trophies during the season. The band also hosted 12 bands in this year's Music in Oil Country, and performed in exhibition for an audience of 5,000. The OMB consists of 63 instrumentalists, 18 color guard, 9 majorettes, and 11 dance line performers. Greg Dauberger served as drum major and was assisted by Scott McMullen and Amy Williams. Our band also featured two soloists, Mark Clark and Adam Gold. This year's music consisted of In the Stone, William Tell Overture — drum solo, Once in a Lifetime, and Brasilia.

Mrs. Delong leaves color guard after 12 years This year's color guard consisted of 18 girls who twirled flags, locally referred to as silks . Eight of these girls also performed with rifles during one number of the O.M.B field show. The 1984 season captains were Mariann Lamberton and Jill Wickman. The color guard attended a one week camp in June at Hiram College in Ohio. The camp is sponsored by the Fred J. Miller Clinics and this was the fifth year that Oil City attended. Color guard is one unit of the bandfront and participates in all of the marching band activities as well as performing independently at home basketball games and in the talent show. The '84 marching season marked the end of Mrs. Linda DeLong's career with the band. She has been working with the color guard since the 1973 season and in 1974 was officially named the color guard and majorette advisor. Her work has not been limited to bandfront, however, because she has also helped teach marching technique and drills to the whole band and has functioned as an assistant to the four different band directors with whom she has worked. For the past four years, Mrs. DeLong has been assisted by Mrs. Karen Fischer, a former captain of the guard. Top right: Captains — Mariann Lamberton, Jill Wickman.

Bottom right: Tracey Winger practices her routine during study hall. Rookies dominate majorette squad The 1984 marching season was a rebuilding year for the majorette squad. They lost five very talented girls with the graduation of the class of '84 and two veteran members, Laura Korpela and Amy Way, had a conflict in schedules when the volleyball season was moved from spring to fall and could, therefore, only participate on a part-time basis with the majorette squad. Captain Kim Bennett and Nancey Stanley, therefore, were the only two fulltime majorettes with any experience and that was as alternates last year. Kim Crabtree and Stacey Gadley were new to baton twirling but were experienced in marching and performing, having been in guard the year before. Rookies Lisa Blauser, Amy Warner, and Patti Stevenson completed the squad. Despite their beginning disadvantage, the girls practiced hard all season beginning with a one-week clinic in June at Hiram College, where they worked on improving their twirling skills and performing abilities. As an auxiliary unit of the Oiler Marching Band, the Majorettes twirled silks as well as their batons, and participated in all OMB activities. The high point of their season came at the Titusville band competition when they were awarded the Best Majorette Trophy. Advisor Mrs. DeLong, says that Kim Bennett deserves recognition for the extra effort she had to put into her duties as captain.

Dance Line is added to band front The 1984 marching band included a new auxiliary unit, a dance line of 10 girls captained by Dixie Prichard and Beth Snyder. Their part in the '84 OMB field show involved performing with silks, drum sticks, and hoops, as well as dancing. Mrs. Susan McConnell assisted the girls with the choreography and dance steps. Mrs. DeLong served as advisor and instructor. The girls themselves made up several routines which they performed in parades, with pep songs, during basketball halftimes, and in the talent show. Much effort was required to establish the dancers as part of the OMB. This involved everyone from band director, Mr. McConnell (whose idea it was) to instructors, to the girls themselves. Much improvement could be seen over the course of the season as they grew from an unconfident rookie unit to a squad of seasoned performers. It is anticipated that this activity will continue to grow and involve even more members in the future. Top left: Captains — Beth Snyder, Dixie Prichard Top right: Nicki Craft dances to Brazilia .

This year we were fortunate to have two exchange students, one from Spain and one from Turkey. Gabriel Caflada came to the U.S. from the northern part of Spain. He stayed with the Merwin family who have hosted exchange students in the past. Fulay Cihan is from Turkey and lived with the Terry Duespohl family while here. AFS Chapters provide funds to keep the exchange student program going. Our local chapter, advised by Mrs. O'Keeffe, supports this with funds from the annual pencil sale as well as dances. The German Club features aspects of German culture. Throughout the scholastic year the German club schedules activities such as the Oktoberfest in late fall and Faschingsdienstag at the end of winter. At these festivals students taking courses in various levels of German participate in dancing and skits. Traditional German cuisine is also served. This year for the first time students from another school district participated in the Oktoberfest; Miss Nurss' German I and II students from Rocky Grove shared in the German Club's cultural experiences. Mr. Marzolf is the advisor and spends much time and effort planning club activities.

One of the major changes is the format. Last year an academic section was introduced and this year a student life section is added. Another change is the computer, a Commodore 64. This computer is used as a word processor, which facilitates the production. These changes have brought about much higher ratings from yearbook critics; the score from two years ago was improved by about 250 points. The yearbook production staff consists of juniors and seniors who spend approximately 1 period a day working on their layouts. This team is led by their advisor, Mrs. Linda DeLong, and Bill Adams, the editor. Tammy Milner, Jason Bablak, and Beth Chambers are layout editors. These people, along with the rest of the team, are responsible for your yearbook. Top left: Staff members await Chicken's comments on Pulsebeat.

Clubs focus on skills and interests OCHS' school newspaper The Refiner features a staff of around 30 students who come from all classes from freshmen to seniors. Mrs. McConnell is the advisor for the paper and Erik Helsley is the editor. When asked about any changes in this year's paper Erik said We try to go out and get real news stories about OCHS students instead of just printing puzzles and cartoons. The Refiner was published about 5 times over the school year although on no structured schedule. Creative Writing Club gives students who have an interest in drama, poetry, and short stories a chance to develop their writing skills in a non-restricted environment. Mrs. Beers advises this club and says of it, We allow students to write whatever they feel. She then reads over their work and files it in a folder along with the student's other creative writing material. A possible change is that the English Department is considering making creative writing an elective course next year.

Our chapter members have been involved in a workshop at West Middlesex High School, and five members went to Erie Business Center to take tests in English, accounting, shorthand, and typing. The local chapter also sponsors other recreational activities. Officers are Jill Wickman — president, Kelly Coogan — vice-president, Amy DeArment — secretary, Terri Ferguson — treasurer, and Amy Williams — parliamentarian. The Math Team meets once a month on a casual basis. Usually five or six students participate in the testing program. Math team tests stress geometry and algebra and are very difficult according to advisor Mr. Husband. Sometimes O.C.H.S. students score in the top percentiles of students tested statewide. Once in a month on Thursday during activity period a group of students meet to play chess in the physics room under the direction of Mr. Gene Brown. Hunting and Fishing club is comprised of thirty juniors, and seniors, and is advised by Mr. Clem Urban. During their meetings, club members watch films dealing with the great outdoors from hunting to camping. The Crafts Club was instituted this year by Mrs. Breene to allow students time to work on handicrafts together and to share interests. The club is currently all girls, but Mrs. Breene says she would like to get some boys involved. Students work at their own leisure during activity period on projects of their choice like pillows and photo album covers. Top: CHESS CLUB: Front row: Ken Kane, Tim Clark.

It has been responsible for furnishing the weight room, purchasing a whirlpool for the girls' locker room, providing patches for T.C.A.C. and District X champions, and helping to clean up the downtown area. To meet these objectives the club has raised funds by selling donuts, popcorn, and shirts, which were alternate methods of financing when candy sales were prohibited. Along with the standard planning of a trip and picnic, the Varsity Club has spent several meetings on rule changes in an attempt to maintain its athletic reputation. A new point system is being implemented this year to clearly define the requirements for membership in the club. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson teamed with Miss Adams to advise the clubs. With their assistance, the boards of both clubs were responsible for all decisions. ■ The Leader Corps, now in its third year of existence, underwent several changes this year. With the addition of girls to the corps, the organization took on a second advisor, Mrs. Patterson. She assists the founder of the Leader Corps, Coach Patterson. Leaders are responsible for assisting the Phys. Ed. teachers, which allows the teachers more time to spend on class instruction. A leader must be honest, trustworthy, and mature enough not to abuse the authority given to them. The advisors select people whom they feel fit the qualifications. Those wishing to become leaders must submit applications to the advisors. Top: Boys' Varsity Club Board of Directors: Front row: Wes Gaylor, C.P. Mooney, Mike Jolley, Chris Conway.

The wrestlerettes are responsible for keeping score for the home and away matches and tournaments. They also announce the wrestlers at home matches. To raise funds to support their club, they run concession stands at tournaments and sell raffle tickets. The basketball statisticians are students who volunteer their time to record the rebounds, shots attempted, steals, turnovers, and other statistics important to the coaching of the team. They are also responsible for the official record kept of the game. The Ping Pong Club was a new addition to the clubs this year. It is under the supervision of Mr. Watson.

There are four teams of two seniors each, that rotate every week. Announcers must try out in the spring of their junior year, and are chosen by a group of teachers and administrators. The office go-fors are a group of students who give up their study hall time to assist Mr. Snyder and Mr. Kaufman. Their job consists of delivering detention notices, telephone messages, and green slips. They also post the weekly bulletin and sort mail. The 1984-85 Library Staff includes 15 students from OCHS: 4 seniors, 3 juniors, 4 sophomores, and 4 ninth graders. Each member is scheduled weekly to give service to their classmates which includes reference work and replacement of materials that have been circulated. This staff has proven to be a very efficient one. OCHS has two student life guards who watch the swimmers during recreational swims. They have to pass a required life-saving course and are selected by Mr. Mitchell, the pool supervisor. Members of the stage crew take on a very tough task when joining the club. They are responsible for lighting, scenery, sound, and props for any school or community activity taking place on stage. In order to be able to participate in this activitity a student must maintain passing grades in all classes. Mr. McConnell marked two significant changes regarding the stage crew this year. The first is the participation of a female in the club; Cinny Thompson has the distinction of being the first girl in the Crew. Also a plaque to honor graduating seniors will be hung in the lobby area. The blood donors consist of the select few who contribute to the entire community. These individuals must meet the requirements of being 17 years of age and weighing 110 pounds. The bloodmobile arrives in Oil City every eight weeks and appreciates the participation of students and teachers. Mr. Smith is the main recruiter for this activity. Top: P.A.

With Mr. Ham-merschmidt and Mr. Scierka as advisors, this group of hard-working students proved their worth as a governing body. They sent a student to the Grove City Student Council Conference, two delegates to the Pennsylvania School Board Conference in Hershey, and two more to the Pennsylvania Association of Student Councils in Connestoga. S.C.A. put forth their greatest effort in collecting over 2,200 cans in the canned food drive. The members participated in their usual guidance events, which include Higher Education Night, 8th and 9th grade parents' night, and the open houses. In addition to these usual events, S.C.A. sponsored a powder-puff football game. These various projects obviously keep council members actively involved in school life. Above: S.C.A.

The oil derrick and outdoor bulletin display area in the courtyard by the cafeteria is just one example of the class' dedication. Homecoming and Winter Sports Weeks are also major successes, but the officers put forth their greatest efforts in planning the senior banquet and graduation. The junior class officers, along with the junior executive council, worked all year to benefit the Class of '86. Because of the dedication of the treasurer's office to Gary McFall, a lot of responsibility was shifted onto the officers and council. But, as proven by the Christmas Dance and Prom, the whole class came through. They sold Oiler sweatshirts, notebooks, and Christmas candy, in addition to the traditional 1 fundraiser, the magazine sale. Charitable donations were given to UNICEF, Toys for Tots , Muscular Dystrophy Association and Special Olympics. The Vo-tech Student Senate is the student government body at the Venango County Area Vocational-Technical School, functioning much the same as the Student Council Association does at OCHS. One of their major responsibilities is sponsoring the annual Vo-tech Week.

Instead of the usual two advisors, he worked with N.H.S. by himself. To be chosen for induction, students must have leadership qualities and good character. They must also rank in the top third of their class and participate in school activities. Activities sponsored by N.H.S. are the concession stand, two dances, a spring trip, a carnation sale in March, the induction ceremonies, also in March, and a successful tutoring program. Since there are strict requirements for induction, students must work to achieve this honor. Mr. Maurer commented, I feel it gives potential members a goal to 'shoot' for.

Times change and we change with them. —Cellarivs Dr. Layton Matchulet, a Cranberry High School graduate ended thirty-five years as an educator to become the executive vice president of Oil City Area Chamber of Commerce. Howard Lehman, who has been the district's elementary supervisor for twenty one years, succeeded Dr. Matchulet as superintendent. In Ridgeway schools, Dr. Matchulet was a teacher, administrator, and athletic coach for fifteen years. In March of 1965 he joined Oil City Schools as director of curriculum. In July of 1967 he became assistant superintendent and was named to his current position in July of 1970. Top: Dr. Layton Matchulet prepares to change jobs.

(standing) James Singer, Steve Pikna, Robert McFate, Lucille Stevens, Jane Stephens, James Valentine, Marshall Tyler. Dr. Matchulet resiens 108 long career with school district Mr. Snyder has a very time consuming job; he spends between 80 and 90 nights at the school during the course of a 180-day school year. He attends most all of the extracurricular activities, dances, sports events, musical productions, etc. He also has to organize the master schedule for both students and teachers. He is in charge of figuring out the curriculum and working on requirements for graduation. Almost everything that goes on at this building has to go through him, and he is the one held responsible for anything that goes wrong. Mr. Kaufman, like Mr. Snyder, spends 80-90 nights at the school. His main duties include discipline and attendance, and he often is called upon to deal with student, teacher, and parents' problems. Mr. Kaufman is responsible for issuing working papers and ordering some supplies. He also serves on various committees. The secretaries are very essential workers who keep our daily operations running smoothly. They are in charge of keeping all of our records in order, and they spend long hours copying the data onto official sheets. They take all the phone calls coming in and make sure messages and mail are distributed. This year the attendance office lost Mrs. Shoup as a secretary, but gained Mrs. Baughman. Mrs. Shoup's cheerful presence is very much missed by faculty and students. Mrs. Baughman enjoys having the position of attendance secretary, because the last couple of years she has been subbing for Oil City High Schools, and she likes having a definite job. Top: Mr. Snyder — principal Middle left: Mr. Kaufman — vice principal Middle right: Mr. Kaufman hopes for peace. Bottom: Mrs. Tharp, Mrs. Murray, Mrs. Groner, Mrc Mri Bauehman Department heads keep things in line The department heads at OCHS have many responsibilities. They keep inventory of texts and supplies for their departments, and requisition new ones. The department heads assign the teachers within their departments to classes, observe teachers in classroom practices, assist new teachers, and make sure that the course of study is followed. As well as attending to matters within their department, the department heads also assist in the administration of the whole school. They help develop curriculum and also discuss new courses which may be added. More recently, their input was requested in the school board decision to change graduation requirements from 18 credits to 24. Mrs. Janet O'Keeffe is the English Department head. She enjoys music, reading (especially biographies), and theater. In fact, Mrs. O'Keeffe travels to the Stratford and Shaw festivals during the summer. She also enjoys traveling abroad and has attended a United Nations Seminar. The Language Department head is Mr. Bruce McFall. He stays active in sports by playing golf, bowling, and coaching Senior League baseball. Mr. McFall, who teaches French, likes responsible and attentive students but dislikes hearing excuses for not doing homework. Guidance Department director. Dr. James D. Schwab, earned his Ph.D from Walden University in 1979. He enjoys good food and the great outdoors, especially gardening and cycling. During the summer he visits historically significant sights. Mr. William Applequist is the Art Department head. Reading, tennis, hunting, playing horse shoes, painting, and watching T.V. are ways he enjoys spending his free time. He enjoys people who have a sense of humor, and dislikes kids who waste their time. Mr. Frank Selden, Industrial Arts Department head, has recently become a grandfather. He likes having a summer schedule that allows him to do his own thing. He says his pet peeve is, the lack of motivation and the accepting of responsibility by certain students.

Ill Coaches dedicated to their athletes Another group of teachers who have additional responsibilities is the coaches who devote many hours helping students develop their athletic skills. They spend long hours on the practice fields, on bus rides, and in the games. Athletic Director, math teacher, and tennis coach, Gordon E. Crunk Porter schedules all TCAC events and many other events as well. He is one of the teachers you always see at sports events. One of his pet peeves is the lack of support for student happenings. He says, 'If it is not a dance, we don't come,' seems to be the motto around here. Mr. Carl Hohmann also spends much time around the gym. As game manager Mr. Hohmann is responsible for ticket sales and crowd control as well as preparation for the scheduled contest. In his spare time he likes to go to the beach and to the movies, or just stay home. An important change in his life was the birth of his daughter, Caroline Marie, on December 26. Mr. Rick Fletcher and Mr. Nick Melnick serve as referees for basketball games. Mr. Melnick teaches math. Mr. Fletcher is the 3-D art teacher as well as the photography instructor. His likes include good students, all sports, art museums and exhibits, good food, and good movies. A major change in Mr. Fletcher's life was the birth of his first son, Dustin Allen, on December 28, 1984. Mr. Fletcher enjoys relaxing with his wife and any type of art work. Mr. Taylor, math, and Mr. Axelson, social studies, both serve as assistant coaches for football. Mr. Taylor stays in shape by running, and enjoys spending time with his daughter. Mr. Axelson enjoys exercising, playing softball, and fishing. Recently he had a significant change in his life; his beard turned gray. Mrs. Lynn Smith and Mr. Jim Smith teach reading and special education respectively. They also coach JV and varsity volleyball. A change for them this year was the volleyball season being moved to fall from spring. Another change for Mrs. Smith was that her teaching schedule has been rearranged to include teaching at the junior high in the mornings. The Smiths spend their summers traveling in their camper. Randy Fletcher coaches boys' varsity basketball along with teaching business education. One change in his life was moving to The Ponderosa last year. Among his many pet peeves people who walk like turtles in the halls , humanoids that do not listen , and walking cauliflowers are included. Besides sports, he enjoys relaxing, listening to tunes, playing Trivial Pursuit, and taking pictures. Peg Adams teaches health and physical education and coaches girls' cross country and track. Two major changes in Miss Adams' life are that she will be traveling to Italy and Greece, and she has been chosen as a trainer for the National Sports Festival. She stays in shape year round by exercising, and she also enjoys reading, going to movies, visiting her friends and listening to music. Mr. Michael Mitchell, a health and physical education teacher, serves as pool supervisor and assists coaching in track. In his free time, Mr. Mitchell enjoys archery.

Bottom right: Mr. Mitchell takes roll for phys. ed. class. Above and beyond the call of duty In addition to the coaches, there is a corps of teachers who forfeit much of their spare time to benefit students by devoting themselves to extracurricular activities. Mr. Shoup and Mrs. Davis advise the senior and junior classes respectively. These two individuals spend many evenings and weekends planning and promoting the many class-sponsored activities. Mrs. DeLong is the Oil Can production staff advisor, while Mrs. Cray heads the Oil Can business staff. These two spend much time working on the yearbook so that the students will have memories of O.C.H.S. Mrs. DeLong has also been the bandfront advisor since 1973. Mr. and Mrs. McConnell are the two people who are responsible for the musical and talent show. Thanks to them, there are pleasant diversions to schoolwork. This also has given many students a chance to demonstrate their talent. Miss McConnell is the cheerleading advisor. This is the last year that she will be helping the cheerleaders. Over the past three years she has instilled spirit in many students. The job of making sure Student Council functions run smoothly belongs to Mr. Hammerschmidt. Although the officers of S.C. A. do a major part of the work, he carries many responsibilities. The past proms wouldn't have been so successful without some extra help. Mr. Say has given much of his spare time to help make the prom surroundings enjoyable and memorable. 114 Top left: Mr. Shoup says S.U.E. , and prepares to throw his eraser at a sleeping victim.

The first consists of teachers new to O.C.H.S. and the second includes teachers who provide unique services to the student body. The new additions are Miss Julie Ashworth, Mrs. Debra Heckathorne, Mrs. Melodie Curran, and Mrs. Olene Stuart. Miss Ashworth, who says she's on a self-improvement kick, teaches in the business department, having formerly taught at Cranberry. Mrs. Stuart says that teaching has been a big change for her having been at home for 19 years. Mrs. Heckathorne replaced Mr. Wei-senfluh while he was on sabbatical leave and Mrs. Curran, also a math teacher, instructs classes in the afternoon. Mr. Dean Shoup, Mrs. Marjorie McCandless, Mrs. Debra Hardy, Mr. Bill Highfield, Mr. Rolland Lawrence, Mrs. Eleanor Daubenspeck, and Mrs. Barb Stubler are the teachers who provide special services to the students. Mr. Shoup and Mrs. McCandless are two of our guidance counselors. They both enjoy working with the students and faculty at O.C.H.S. The counselors deal with students individually as opposed to a classroom situation. Mrs. Hardy is a special education teacher. This type of teaching requires much dedication and also individual attention to students. Two services necessary to the school are furnished by Mrs. Daubenspeck and Mrs. Stubler. Mrs. Daubenspeck is the librarian. Mrs. Stubler is the director of the Health Suite. Mr. Lawrence also provides a necessary service by teaching many students how to drive. Mr. Highfield makes available many of the athletic supplies used by students, and Class of '85 T-shirts were ordered through him. Top: Mrs. Ashworth prepares to give a test.

Bottom right: Mrs. Curran helps a student with homework. 119 Teachers at home in the classroom Most of our association with teachers, of course, is in the classroom. Our educators spend approximately four hours a day instructing students. In addition they have supervisory duties in study halls, inside suspension, the cafeteria and hallways. They are allotted one period a day for preparation, but must spend hours of their own time reading, preparing, evaluating and correcting student work. From their responses to our questionnaires, we also learned something about our teachers' interests outside of their school lives. Mrs. Jenkins, English, enjoys aerobics, cross country and downhill skiing, jogging, watching movies on her VCR, trying new recipies, and sampling a variety of wines. She went to Florida during Christmas vacation, and at Easter she is going to Italy and Greece. Mrs. Strain, English, likes kids and books. She enjoys meandering and reading. Mrs. Lewis, another English teacher, likes to travel during the summer. During her free time she also enjoys photography, needlepoint, counted cross stitch, and crossword puzzles. She likes writing poetry and short stories, and one of her hobbies is collecting teddy bears. Mr. Flath, social studies, has enjoyed traveling to foreign countries. His pet peeves include people who do things, get caught and then deny doing it, students throwing food, and students who are rude during assemblies. Top: Mrs. jenkins enjoys Ed Milner's presentation. Middle left: Mr. Stevens teaches chemistry. Middle right: Mr. Tabler is a member of the social studies department. Bottom left: Mrs. Strain likes to use her red pen.

He also likes trips to Youngstown, Ohio and Lake Latonka. A couple big changes occurred recently in his life, he caught a 22 large mouth bass and Mrs. Hardy. Mr. Lafferty, science, dislikes people who have difficulty in following instructions. He enjoys camping, hunting, fishing, and reading. Top left: Mr. Morris teaches math and science.

We found the facilities here to be of greater use than those at the Junior High. The layout of the Senior High is less confusing than what we've been accustomed to. The increasing selection of courses offered here makes us feel more in control of our plans in later life. The wide variety of sporting events and activities have proven to be exciting and well-organized. We've come to appreciate the changes we've experienced this year. The Freshmen all look forward to the glorious year when we will be the graduating senior class of Nineteen Hundred Eighty-Eight. 124 If we were as small as Mark, we'd ask for help too.

At times it may seem as though we have faded into the woodwork or are unimportant. But we are the class of '87, and are being prepared for the critical choices that we will have to make in the next two years. We are waiting in the wings learning everything we can until we are the leaders and the varsity. We have come a long way from being the young and naive freshmen we were, to where we are now. Still, we have a long way to go until we graduate and are considered adults in this world. Our goal is now insight. With some hard work we can reach our goal and make our mark on the real world.

Our class individuality was emphasized by the elections of the executive committee which serves as the immediate communication between the officers, advisor, and class members, and makes the final decisions concerning class projects. We, as juniors, realize the importance of this year, and we unanimously dedicated it to the memory of Gary McFall by leaving the office of treasurer vacant. 136 Dasher, John Daugherty, Todd Davis, Jim Davison, Karen DeArment, Brad Dehn, Ed Dehner, Lisa Dent, Marci Deshner, Michelle DeWoody, Dave Dickson, Kurt Dillion, Jason Diven, Kim Doyle, Thomas Dunkle, David, Jr. Eakin, Lisa Eddy, Karen Eismont, Jeff Emanuele, Guy Emanuele, Susan Ertola, Marissa Espy, Bob Eury, Matt Evans, Scott Fento, Kaylene Fisher, Shane Fleckenstein, Leigh Flockerzi, Michael Fridley, Jeff Fry, Jasen Fry, Elizabeth Garcia, David Gariepy, Holly Gatesman, Heidi Gaylor, Wes Gesing, Mike Gibbs, Susan Gifford, Jill Giles, Lori Goodwin, Bill Graham, Matt Green, Berni Greene, Chris Greer, Cindy Gurnee, Kathy 137 Hajduk, Angela Hale, Bridget Hartsell, Jean Hartzell, Laurie Hazlett, Mark Heasley, Dan Heath, Marcy Heber, Bill Henry, Betty Highfield, Anne Hill, Mary Horn, Kevin Horne, Tami Horner, Crystal Horner, Todd House, Ken Hoyt, Dave Huey, Mike Hutchinson, Eric Hynes, Patty Johnson, Karen Jolley, Mike Jones, Clifford Kaness, Cindy Karg, Shawn Kearns, Kathy Kelley, Freda Kerchner, Sandy Kleck, Melanie Kline, Terry Knight, Kris Knight, Tim Knisely, Sarah Kostek, Marianne Kovacs, Cynthia Kumar, Vivek Kurtich, Denise Lawson, Lisa Lemke, Jim Lesher, Jason Lichtenberger, Paula Liddy, Mary 138 Laura appears to be unaware that she is getting the evil eye during analysis class. tfSlhv • Long, Julie Long, Raymond Lorigan, John Lorigan, Margo Lucas, Mary Lundquist, Laura Lytle, Holly McClellan, Missy McDonald, Tim McGreevy, Dawn McLaughlin, Chris McMullen, Scott McNatt, Ron McWilliams, Christie Merritt, Wanda Merwin, Mike Miller, Holly Miller, John Miller, Matt Milner, Ed Milner, Richard Mohnkern, Dan Moon, Greg Moore, Norman Moore, Tom Morrison, Carla Murray, Mark Neidich, Barb Nellis, Michael Netzel, Tom Noggle, Mark O'Brien, Mike O'Brien, Tim Oliver, Tracey Pardee, Alvie Phadke, Shruti Piendel, Todd Piercy, Bob Proper, William Puleo, Jean Puleo, Laura Puleo, Scott 139 Quattro, Brad Rhodes, Jim Rodgers, Mike Rodgers, Tim Ross, Deborah Ruhlman, Chris Runninger, Mike Sanders, Joe Say, Andy Schneider, Beth Schwab, Kim Settlemire, Lisa Sharp, Karen Sheehan, Kathy Shontz, Ann Shook, Lisa Sibble, Pat Skiba, Terry Slagle, Eric Smith, Eric Smith, Lewis Snyder, Robin Snyder, Scott Speece, Dave Spence, Steve Sprohar, Christine Stanley, Nancey Starcher, Bobbie Stephens, Susan Stephenson, Sue Sterner, Michelle Stevenson, Patti Stoudt, Dale Tarr, John Thomas, Julie Tinker, Darla Todd, William Toth, Greg Turk, Jim Urey, Carrie Van Wormer, Barbara Vogan, Shawn Vogus, Jim Walentosky, Jeff Warner, Jay What or who is catching Jeff's eye? 140 Whaley, Jane Whitman, Junior Whitten, Chris Wilson, Jackie Wilson, Lawaysha Wilson, Tom Wilson, Tim Winger, Von Winters, Joy Wise, Rodney Wolbert, John Womer, Brenda Womer, Jeffrey Wright, Donald Wright, Jeff Wright, Tammy Wright, Wayne Wurster, Chris Yashinski, Laurie Yeager, Mike Ziegler, Cindy Zillifro, Traci Zimmerman, Janice 141 William Edmond Adams Trey Allen Amsden Jennifer Helene Antkowiak 142 Seniors Richard William Aites Michael Dunbar Allison Christopher Allen Ames WILLIAM EDMOND ADAMS - Willy — Academic Likes: Mr. Shoup, Fuzz, the Audi, U2, Stcelers, Herr, Mrs. O.

A predominant characteristic of the class of '85 is that we have always gone one step farther on a project than was expected. After having great success with the Christmas dance, in which an enthusiastic committee put on a very special event, we followed the momentum through on the magazine sale where we raised a record amount of $22,827.00. The extra money allowed us to go all out on the Showboat for the prom, which we thought was the best ever. The prom committee was open to all who volunteered, and the class worked as a team (especially at the late night sessions) with advisor Mr. Ron Shoup as our fearless leader. The summer was one of work for many, and play for all. Hardly an evening passed one couldn't find a senior playing hacky- sack at McDonald's or at the parking garage. Others preferred to catch some music at Calwell's or Razzie's. There were also fun times at the pool, Two-mile, and at parties. The summer ended as quickly as it came, and the Class of 1985 was ready and rearing to go. The courtyard Oil Heritage project was first on the list of many tasks. It was one of many ways in which we left our mark at O.C.H.S. Homecoming week was next on the list, and we tried to generate school spirit and make it a fun time for all. Winter sports week rolled around, and many seniors began to experience a sudden realization that we didn't have much time before we graduated. That feeling was especially great at the toga party which was a wild time for everyone. The Senior Banquet brought us all together one more time, and when we watched the slide show, many happy and sad memories were brought back. We were reminded of many firsts : we were the first graduating class to have spent our freshmen year at O.C.H.S., and we were the first class to offer a video yearbook. But aside from the firsts, we were reminded of all the times when we tried to be and do our best! As we go on in life and leave O.C.H.S. behind us, we will never forget the many special times that we shared together as the Class of 1985. Top left: Wien is dreaming about the weekend.

They Are a-Changin' In the 1960's folk hero Bob Dylan wrote: Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam. And admit that the water Around you has grown. And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you is worth savin', Then you'd better start swimming Or you'll sink like a stone, For the times they are a-changin'. That is the first verse of The Times They Are a-Changin' which became the anthem of protest for young adults all across America. Now in the 1980's there remain only remnants of hippies , sit-ins, and protest marches by students. Instead, the youth of America have been called young conservatives , preppies , and punkers . There are fewer and fewer youths who take a firm stand on prominent issues. Bloom County cartoonist Berke Breathed satirized Dylan's tune in this way: Oh, mama help me, I'm losin' all hopes. Bob Dylan's at home watchin' the soaps. Can't say much about my g-g-genera-tion. The times; I wish they were a-chan-gin'! In the near future for many of us the times will change again. If Reagan's plan to slash student aid is ratified, I'm sure there will be a tidal wave of student protestors. Farther down the road, the young Americans may be called upon to serve their country in strife-torn Central America or the Middle East. Where will the young conservatives be then? Only time will tell, but until then, the times will be a-changin'. — William Adams Top: Hesser and friends get their music ready for the dance.
