OCHS Has A Blue Christmas By mid-December the halls and classrooms of OCHS were bustling with Christmas activity. Various organizations worked especially hard to make the holiday season of 1985 a special one for students and faculty alike. The annual SCA door-decorating contest was won by Mr. Joseph's sophomore homeroom 103. Judges for this year's contest were Mrs. Davis, Mr. Rick Fletcher, Mrs. Walkowski, Mrs. Stubler, and Mr. Snyder. SCA also had a faculty breakfast on the morning of December 19. Some club members were in the home economics room as early as 5:30 preparing coffee, orange juice, sweet rolls, toast, scrambled eggs, and ham. Faculty members were served breakfast any time from 7:00 to 8:00 and were pleased with the opportunity to enjoy fellowship with their pupils and colleagues. At 8:00 on the evening of December 19, the OCHS auditorium was filled with the sounds of the season as the music department presented its traditional Christmas concert. Performing at the hand of choral director, Mr. John McConnell, were the ninth grade mixed chorus, the girls' choir, the mixed ensemble, and the A Cappella choir. Senior soloists were Jeff Brown, Michelle Deshner, and Eric Hutchinson. Mr. Robert English then presented the Concert Band, which performed a beautiful variety of Christmas favorites. Toward the end of the evening, the ninth grade chorus and the girls' choir lighted their candles and proceeded down the aisles to the tune of “Silent Night. The grand finale was the combining of the choruses and the band for “White Christmas and the “Hallelujah Chorus. The highlight of the Christmas season for many students took place on the night of December 21. The Junior Class turned the cafeteria into a spectacular winter scene for their first major undertaking of the year—the semi-formal Christmas Dance. The decorations followed the theme Blue Christmas —a title suggested by Junior Class Secretary, Janeen Czolba. Due to the combined efforts of Mr. Dick Petulla, Mrs. Karen Amendola, and the hard-working juniors, the dance was definitely a success. Junior Class Vice President Nicole Delmonaco remarked, “Putting it together was tough, but the final results were well worth the effort. It is clear that OCHS students continue to remember that working and cooperating for the benefit of others are important aspects of the Christmas season. MP Junior Prince and Princess-Mark Baughman and Janeen Czolba. The Concert Band, under the direction of maestro Robert English, completes a selection of Christmas favorites. Krissy Scott.

Our school cafeteria was the setting of Mr. Randy Fletcher's pizza tasting contest. He was aided by his period 3 economics class (1st semester) to taste the eight pizzas donated to them. While the students sampled the pizzas, they rated them on sauce, crust, cheese, and toppings. Each of these categories was rated on a 1 to 5 scale (5 being the best, of course). Serving the students their first sample of pizza is Dave Spcece. The economics class labeled Pizza Hut as their winner after tasting eight pizzas. Boxes show the pizzas donated for the contest. Pick Your Pizza Domino's was nice enough to donate 20 Cokes to refresh students between tastings. While the students were tasting a slice of each pizza, they marked their grade on a card which would be tallied up at the end of the contest. The contestants on this night were: Four Star, Domino's, Pizza Hut, Tobey's, Napoli Pizza, Genova's, The Shamrock, and Villa Italia. Out of these eight pizzas, only one would win.
