Despite tremendous support (especially from girls, according to Coach Art Payne) and the experience of the basketball team, there seemed to be more low points than high points during the season, resulting m a 5-15 win-loss record. Sick and hurt players affected the team greatly because in only one game were oil the players healthy and dressed to play. This led to inconsistency with the team performing excellently some games, and then falling to the bottom other games. The toughest game seemed to be the Woodbridge win, and the most depressing naturally were the losses to rival Stonewall and to Garfield, a needed win. Coach Payne said the outlook for next year seemed better because he would know the boys better and they would work more efficiently as a team.

Frustration Going to school becomes a hassle for most of us at one time or another. But for the majority, it's a hassle more often than not. Being a high school student automatically puts a label on one. He is supposed to be naive, beer drinking, and worrying about grades so he can go to college Most students do not fit this decryption, but, activities and behavior are hampered due to this stereo type. School decides what we will do with ourselves, six hours a day for twelve years. Most students spend time in this institute of learning for nothing, just wasting What little work given m most classes for a week could be done in a day. The extra activities most schools have would entice one to go; but, at OHS we watch inexperienced football, basketball, and baseball teams. We have no talent show, one play, and only three assemblies. More important than this, we have no school spirit, commonly called apathy Where does the fault lie? Editorial Staff Upper left corner.
