nuary Brings Unity January is a month of togetherness: trying to get in the same classes with friends as the English curriculum changes, playing and cheering together at basketball games, studying with each other for semester exams, begin- ning all over again as the new semester starts. English teachers get together to change the curriculum for the high school students. New courses in speech, drama, yearbook, novel reading are offered for the first time; students work hard to get into classes with their friends. It ' s better to approach new things together. Basketball always em- phasizes school spirit and unity. We cheer and support our teams with real loyalty whether they win or lose. A certain number of students are hoarse from yelling too much. Suddenly semester exams are upon us and we search our brains for now-forgotten answers. Some of us are satisfied with our first semester ' s work; more of us pledge to work harder and do better in the new semester. Student Life-19

February is a month of confusion, work, and rush: girls hustle to invite guys to the Sadie Hawkins party, juniors work diligently to earn money at their slave sale; yearbook lay-out editors harass photographers to hurry with their pictures to meet the Febru- ary deadline; parents, students, and friends rush from game to game as OCS basketball teams play 8 to 10 games a week. The girls, shy at first, excitedly choose their dates; we all hold each other up trying to keep from falling on the slushy ice. The juniors, faithful and willing, work until exhausted, for $50.00. The yearbook class tries to work together to finish up all lay-outs, pictures, and copy, but the result is a ball of confusion. They continue to toil industriously, worried and fatigued to try to untangle the mess and pro- duce a yearbook. Almost every evening, a team from OCS plays basketball, and the faithful supporters with hoarse voices, hurry to games. In the confusion, February ends and no- body notices it. 20-Student Life Middle Middle Across: Lynne Kaneshiro is seen on crutches after inju herself at the Sadie Hawkins Ice Skating Party.
