the Hi-Jacket presents “Osbourn’s Last Production,” featuring Osbourn High School 1974-1975 rniwvn. mu ” LIBRARY SYSTEM Prince William, VA 2 Place: an overcrowded school in the suburban town of Manassas, Virginia. Time: one thousand, nine hundred seventy-five years after the birth of Christ, eight hundred fifty-nine years after the Battle of Hastings, one hun¬ dred ninety-nine years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence and six years after Neil Armstrong took a giant leap for all Mankind. The Prologue As this small world turned, it became plainer year after year that the oldest school in Manassas could no longer hold its growing student population. For that rea¬ son Manassas citizens found it necessary to construct a new edu¬ cational institute. 5 Postponements, law suits and other unexpected delays arose in the building of the new school. However, the move was to be made the following year. The Year 1975 Was Promised to Be Osbourn’s Last Production ■ 7 Cast of Characters: (Entering from stage right): An administrator—an individual who attempts to uphold the amalgamation of the student body, and a teacher—one who struggles to fill his pupil’s aca¬ demic needs. (From the extreme left enters): A Freshman—a new comer from the Outer Limits (Junior High), a sophomore—a student eager to learn from the upper classmen, a junior—a school miser and spon¬ sor of the Senior Prom. (Appearing from the balcony): A senior—an intellectual and high spirited time bomb. 8 Administration Mr. Frank Seese, assistant principal Mr- Ronald Thompson, assistant principal 10 Mr. Victor Egidi, assistant principal Mr. Carl Kuhn, Mr. Art Payne, Mr. Dalton ' ' I 1 Parker, Ms. Myrna Pearson, and Ms. Lil- VJ - LJ.AlJ.cill.Cj t) lian Orlich. 12 13 QoPfP ' l’Cn 1 ! qp Left to right, top row: Ms. Cousins, Ms. Beverly, Ms. Orsini.

Jobs were scarce, es¬ pecially for the young and un¬ trained. College costs were astro¬ nomical and would continue to rise. Two-thirds of the graduating class were out looking for jobs in the spring of ’75. Unemployment was then at 8% and would rise. Some students either joined the military or sought employment out of town. After a senior had been ac¬ cepted at college, his problems were not over. State school costs were increasing every year. This forced many students to live at home and go to either George Ma¬ son or Northern Virginia Commu¬ nity College. For the majority of college .bound seniors, private or out of state colleges were not even a possibility. Private school rates were running from between $3,000 and $4,000 a year. Seniors who moaned about school and counted the seconds until graduation felt differently the next fall. When they were faced with the harsh economic re¬ alities of the outside world, they sighed for the good old days at Osbourn High. School. Post Graduation Blues The Fall As school began, so did the variability of temperatures and times. The clock was turned back, which brought more complaints to the school board about the early pre-dawn hours. The tem¬ perature also fluctuated, making it hard to decide what to wear to school. However, despite these factors and the two separate shifts, school got underway. Athletic competition began. Football had another trying sea¬ son. Osbourn’s harriers had a good record and have many hopes for the next year, and Girls’ Varsity Basketball tried to grasp another championship. 71 Cross Country Team Improves, Has Winning Season 72 Marv Colas, Mark Hill, Greg Colas, and Jeff Howell. Not pictured—David Thompson, Jay Long, Ken Coddington, Mark Grant, Richard Sale, Jamie Brown and Dennis Archinal. The Osbourn Cross-Country team finished their season with a record of five wins and four losses in dual and tri-meet com¬ petition. This was one of the few winning seasons that Osbourn has had in cross country since the sport was started at this school. The Yellow Jackets also fared well in the Invitational meets, and they finished sixth out of nine teams in the Commonwealth District meet. Greg Colas, a junior, repre¬ sented Osbourn well as he quali¬ fied for both the Virginia Re¬ gional and State Cross Country Meets. He finished fourteenth in the Regionals and ninety-ninth in the State. The Yellow Jackets will have many me mbers of this year’s squad back again next year, as they only graduate seniors and captains David Thompson, Jay Long, and Mark Colas. Returning next year will be Greg Colas, Ken Coddington, Mark Grant, Jack Diehl, Richard Sale, Mark Hill, Jamie Brown, Jeff Howell, and Dennis Archinal. “Cross country has to be one of the most demanding sports men¬ tally and physically. The goal of our cross country team was to win and have a good time, and it seems they did both this year.” quoting Coach Suddith. 1974 Schedule Sept. 9 Osb. 39 James Wood 20 Fauquier (forfeit) Sept. 13 Osb. 55 Albemarle 59 Woodbridge 18 Sept. 4 Culpeper 25 Sept. 20 Osb. 48 Charlottesville 19 Stafford 67 Sept. 28 Osb. 12 at James Wood Invitational Oct. 2 Osb. 19 Quantico 36 Oct. 12 Osb. 9 at Woodbridge Invitational Oct. 19 Osb. 44 at Georgetown Prep Invitational Oct. 23 Osb.

The girls were judged on still pictures and the head instructor’s comments. Only five squads from the forty-four states in com¬ petition were selected to receive the national title. Osbourn’s cheerleaders represented the East Coast region of the United States. In addition to the title, the girls were awarded a three hundred dollar gift certificate and the na¬ tional trophy. Captain Ginger Allen, co-cap¬ tains Marci Howard and Paula Van Horn practiced diligently all summer long with the rest of the squad—Cheryl DiVecchia, Leigh. Anne Dowell, Janet Reed, Tory Everett, Cheri Lese, Carolyn Ray¬ mond, and Brenda Shockley. They traveled to Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, to attend camp from August fifth through the eighth. At camp they proved their talent, for the girls were awarded four superior rib¬ bons and the spirit stick each day when they appeared for eval¬ uation. On the final day at camp, the cheerleaders were again awarded the blue ribbon on their evaluation and were selected to compete for the top squad at camp. On the basis of the judges’ ballots Osbourn was given the District Championship. Ginger Allen was honored as the only cheerleader selected to apply for an instructor position next summer for the National Cheerleader’s Association. The OHS Varsity Cheerleaders beam with pride.

Zarko Ellis picks up the yards, outrunning Albemarle’s defense. In a one on one situation, Osbourn gains yardage. Concerned Coach Hornfeck paces the sidelines. Ricky Tibbs, limping, is aided off the field. While George Kele- chek tries to avoid a sack, Zarko Ellis goes up the hole. 77 Next year The Osbourn Varsity football team had another 0-10 season this year; however, there were several close calls. In the James Wood gamf the team almost came out on top but a very questionable field goal with seconds left ruined the seem¬ ingly inevitable victory. In other games it seemed that the Jackets would play well in the first half but would be defeated in the second half. This could have been due to the relatively small number of play¬ ers on the team in comparison with the other AAA teams that played. A1 the most OHS had 28 players at a game while other teams averaged around 46 players. This year the Jackets will be los¬ ing 17 seniors, but hope lies in the advancement of several under¬ classmen. Members who made the All- County teams were Zarko Ellis and Ricky Woodward (Journal Messen¬ ger and Potomac News), and Curt Evans (Journal Messenger). Also, during the season the Jour¬ nal Messenger named Zarko Ellis as an “offensive player of the week” and Bob Frazier a “defensive player of the week”. As Coach Kuhn stated at the Awards Assembly,” Os¬ bourn’s season is coming. But then, ‘when’ is another question. Maybe next year?” Ready for the snap, quarterback barks out sig¬ nals. Rick Woodward listens to coach’s ad¬ vice. Preparing for a tackle, Osbourn offense gains a yard. 1st Row: L. Johnson, D. Wheeling, M. Lynch, F. Odend’Hal, M. Van Horn, R. Heltzel, S. Watkins, R.

O.H.S. was hold¬ ing on to their lead, displaying fine defensive tactics, while Stonewall Jackson threatened to score. The clock presumably ran out in the sec¬ ond quarter during the Raiders’ at¬ tempt for six points. Stonewall com¬ plained that there was still one second remaining. The referees con¬ sulted each other and their final de¬ cision was in favor of Stonewall’s complaint. This resulted in a score. However, the Raiders missed the ex¬ tra point. At the end of the half it was Osbourn 7, Stonewall 6. In the second half Osbourn didn’t look quite as sharp as they did in the first. Both the offense and the de¬ fense were lagging, committing too many mistak es. Stonewall Jackson scored a second time and then made two extra points. The final score of the game: Stonewall 14, Osbourn 7. 80 Osbourn quarterback fades back looking for a receiver. George Kelechek finds his man—a complete pass. O.H.S. defense puts the crunch on Stonewall. Zarko Ellis scores; teammates acknowledge his feat. Bentley Watkins uses his blocks—looks for a hole. Work¬ ing together, Osbourn teammates try for a goal. 81 82 Homecoming ’74 The 13-0 loss of Osbourn’s Yel¬ low Jackets failed to dampen the student body’s spirit. During the festive halftime ceremonies, the class of ’75 came out on top for the second year in a row, winning the float competition. Representa¬ tives in the Homecoming Court this year were: Marcia Howard, Janet Reed, and Patti Zangas, ’75; Paula Van Horn and Troy Ever¬ ett, ’76; Denise Messall and Kathy Burpo, ’77; Nancy Myers and Che¬ ryl Crane, ’78. Marcia Howard was crowned Homecoming Queen, 1974-75. With “Nostalgia” as this year’s theme, the SCA-sponsored Home¬ coming Dance was enjoyed by all who attended. Music was pro¬ vided by “Carderock.” Executing a beautiful pass, Jeff Wells stars as the game’s quarterback, in the top left picture. Next, fleet-footed Curt Evans evades his tackier.

Bottom row, one of the many OHS spirit posters did not pre¬ dict the game ' s outcome correctly. The lobby filled, Homecoming ’75—or Home¬ coming 2000—is an entertaining occasion. 83 New Rules—Same Winning Team The high.scorers of the Queen Bee team (Cheri Morrow and Lisa Hew¬ itt) kept right on shooting and scor¬ ing, regardless of the new rules. The Girls’ Varsity Basketball Team ended a fine season with a record of 9-5 after a playoff with Woodbridge.. Five second penetration and ten second backcourt rulings were a few of the boys’ rules adopted this year into girls’ play. These new rulings seemed to be an advantage point to the Queen Bees as they increased and practiced their steals and fast breaks. However, despite the good season the Girls’ Varsity Team had, Coach Priola commented on something her team lacked, something not on record. Very few girls seemed to practice their discipline and show their dedication. Perhaps this was due to the many rules and staff changes before the season began. Next year will be a rebuilding year as three team starters graduate. The outstanding defensive play of Julie Mogenis, Anne Lee, and Lisa Hewitt will be missed. The ex¬ pectations of next year’s team are unpredictable. Looking forward to the move to the new school, Ms. Priola is pleased with her team’s standings and next year looks forward to good equip¬ ment, good officials, and skilled, dedicated girls.

The J.V. basketball team was almost entirely com¬ piled of freshmen who were “green” and unfamiliar with high school ball and the new rule changes. Their season, comprised of many losses, had no reflection on the girls’ spirits, which were al¬ ways soaring high. However, the Little Bees seemed to pull every¬ thing together in the exciting game against Gar-field. They beat the Indians, rallying together as a team for a victory. Next year, Coach Rector ideal¬ izes a winning team with the same spirit, but more experience. 86 Schedule 2-11 Stafford—lost Fauquier—lost Gar-Field—lost Stonewall Jackson—lost Stafford—lost Gar-Field—won Woodbridge—lost Stonewall Jackson—lost Quantico—lost Fauquier—lost Brentsville District—cancelled Woodbridge—lost Brentsville District—won Quantico—lost Lisa Canadas makes two under Pressure.

The Spirited 50’s The concept behind Os¬ bourn’s 1950 day was to build up the spirits of the student body for the homecoming game. Many girls participated, modeling long skirts, white bobby socks, saddle shoes, po¬ nytail:, and ruby red lips. The men of that day, however, sported the usual greaser-type attire which complimented their muscular bodies. This homecoming rally was also joined by many teachers, who felt quite comforatble in their old school clothes. Ordinary students loitering in their shades.

Donut sales, car washes, the freshman dance, the homecoming game and dance, a pep rally, and the 50’s day were all big suc¬ cesses. Students of all grade lev¬ els enjoyed these fun-filled events and planned more for winter ... Nearly all puffed out, Ms. Sawyer gets DE balloons ready for Homecoming.

January s weather presented everyone with a snowy vacation. The school board declared two days off be¬ cause of the white stuff, and stu¬ dents rejoiced—the two days were at the end of the semester, and many culminating activities were cancelled. Another exiciting surprise was the performance of the boys’ bas¬ ketball team, which ended the season unusually well. The Queen Bee gymnasts also bal¬ anced a good season. Finally, de¬ spite the unsavory conditions, Coach Kuhn had his runners jog¬ ging through.practice. 93 Coach Looks Forward to Next Year This year Ms. Turner tried to build her girls into a strong team of specialists. ' She had one all-around competitor but hopes for three, possibly four, next year. Competition in gymnastics is quickly growing, so it is neces¬ sary for a gymnast to have an unending knowledge of exe¬ cuted moves and the piece of equipment she is utilizing. This season’s outstanding team members, Martha Derring (Bars, Vault, Floor), Lisa Hay¬ nes (All-Around), Karen Swen¬ son (Beam, Floor, Vault), Tracy Kelly (Floor), Mary Beth Do¬ well (Beam), Anna Geisler (Beam), Kim Cobb (Bars), and Faith Van Noppen (Bars), led the Queen Bees to victories over Quantico, Brentsville, Loudoun Valley, and Loudoun County. Karen Swenson carefully but grace¬ fully moves through tier floor exercises. Lisa Haynes, all around, runs into a move and later displays her flexibility as she executes another part of her floor exercises. Faith Van Noppen warms up on the evens.

All ran well, practicing in the blistering cold. There were members who placed in the district meet in Lynchburg, like Greg Colas in the mile relay and the two mile run, David Thompson in the 600 and mile relay, Richard Sale in the 1000 and mile relay, and Brain Spittler in the mile relay. Greg Colas, whose perfor¬ mance was exceptional, quali¬ fied for the State Meet by set¬ ting an Osbourn record in the two mile run with 9.58 seconds, beating the old record of 10.04.

Rick Krat- zer, one of the team’s co-captains, 1 had the best overall record and scored the most pins. He also placed second in both the District and Regional Tournaments. The other co-captain, A1 Higby, held the season’s record for the most reversals. Danny, another mem¬ ber of the Kratzer clan, was one of only five freshmen out of 192 wrestlers who went to the State Tournament. He scored the most i takedowns of the season and had the most wins of any freshman in Osbourn’s history. Danny placed fourth in the District Tournament and third in the Regionals. Other Varsity members who contributed immensely were Chuck Proctor at 98 pounds, Kenny Moore at 145, Juan Hall at 155, Chris Snellenberger at 167, Dale Burke at 185, and Kenny Donner in the unlimited weight class. The JV team was composed of Terry Teets, who weighed in at 98 pounds, Gregg Simpson at 105, Kenny Larsen at 112, John Ray¬ mond at 112, Trip Butler at 126 and Tim Allen in the unlimited weight class. This year’s wrestling managers were Patty Lawrence and Martha Cox. From top to bottom: Greg Simpson, Dale Burke, Ken Doner, Chris Snellenberger, Kenny Mours, Juan Hall, Kenny Larsen, Rick Kratzer, Allen Higby, and Danny Kratzer.

Osbourn finished the 1974- 1975 basketball season with a to¬ tal of six wins and fifteen losses; however, they did manage, to place third in the Christmas tour¬ nament, bringing home a trophy for their merits. Evan Swank, a senior, was the top scorer, totaling 288 points. He also held the best percentage in free throws, but shared this title with John Martin. This year the Jacket team will lose nine seniors, but, despite this, Varsity Coach Art Payne an¬ ticipates an outstanding basket¬ ball team. 102 The members of this season’s Varsity Boy’s Basketball were: Coaches Payne and Schemering, Ronnie Watkins, Mark Rhoads, John Donlon, John Martin, Evan Swank, Don Howard, Leonard Newman, Tom Doolittle, Geoff Hayden, Oscar King, Brad Yount, 103 Yuletide Entertainment Osbourn High School’s Music Department organized a success¬ ful presentation called “Christ¬ mas Vespers” for this year’s holi¬ day celebration. Under the direction of Ms. Wandalyn Boley and Ms. Becky Verner, the music students performed a variety of Christmas carols. Decorations were organized by Mr. Frank Seese, who also entertained the audience in his Santa Claus costume. A second Christmas concert featured the Symphonic Orches¬ tra and the OHS Band. The Or- 104 chestra lead off the program with three seasonal pieces, and was then followed by the Band. The closing number of the concert was a rendition of “Oh Come All Ye Faithful,” performed by both the Band and the Choir. The two musical programs were a highr light of the Osbourn yuletide season. Mugging around, Dean Smith warms up before the Christmas presentation. Proud of their stu¬ dents’ work, Ms. Boley and Mr. Criswell watch the program. The audience enjoys the Band’s per¬ formance. Blending their talents together, the Choir and Band present a holiday carol. The Os¬ bourn Choir pleases their receptive audience. 105 An Evening of Entertainment. The Spirit of ’76 gave Osbourn an entertaining hoost in February with the annual Junior Class Tal¬ ent Show. It was, as in past years, a great success. Led by class pres¬ ident Donna Smith and emcees Matt Waldron and Bert Roseberry (who must have memorized 1001 Bad Jokes for All Occasions), the Juniors proved Osbourn was blessed by an abundance of tal¬ ented students. The top spots of the show were won by first place Karen Simmons with her dancing ability, second placed Susan France on the piano, and Susan Kervick on the violin (with the world’s shortest concerto), ac¬ companied by Mary Canadas on the piano, placed third. As an added bonus, the judges be¬ stowed three honorable mentions to James Dayton on the guitar, the Freshman class, which acted out a hilarious take-off called “The Price Is a Little Off,” and, as most novel act, T.R. Dearden and his organic music. The audience en¬ joyed the entire show, and the Ju¬ niors enjoyed taking in the money, which went toward Prom.

However, like al¬ ways there were a few organiza¬ tions who failed to conform with the others and ruin their reputation. The dwindling attendance and the lack of interest and money helped to put many clubs out of circulation. The successful groups were the Key Club, Lionettes, Varsity Club, Hi Jacket, Deca, Cheerleaders, Majorettes, Drill Team, Science Club, Chess Club, Band, Choirs, and the Pep Club. This limited group of activists comprised the stagehands of Os¬ bourn High.

Under the leadership of Presi¬ dent Rodney Moyers, the S.C.A. focused its efforts on uniting the shifts through spirited activities. After attending the S.C.A. work¬ shop, Rodney, Donna Smith, and Matthew Myers passed along in¬ novative ideas to get the S.C.A.’s plans underway. Assisting Rod¬ ney were Vice-President James Ashby, Secretary Cindy Collins, Treasurer Cindy Base, and Ste¬ nographers Karen Rice and Ann Thomas. Some of the money mak¬ ing projects included the showing of the movie, “The Sting,” and a very successful magazine drive in which earnings of more than a thousand dollars were contrib¬ uted towards the annual Home¬ coming Dance and the S.C.A.’s closing year project. Other activi¬ ties included the revising of the O.H.S. handbook, the sponsoring of the Freshman Dance, and the collecting of funds for UNICEF during Halloween. A Saint Pat¬ rick’s Day Dance was planned along with various assemblies to be held in the spring. The Student Council fulfilled its purpose dur¬ ing the busy 1974-75 school year by being aware and responding to students’ needs.

Ms. Blair was proven mentally sane. She and the editors swore this year would be different- make a little money, enlarge.the staff, and, most importantly, meet the deadlines. To show they meant it, the trio decided to put out a spring book—and that in¬ volved meeting all the deadlines, something no Hi-Jacket staff had done within anyone’s memory. Next, they ensnared anybody that displayed some skill needed in putting out a yearbook (can you type?), and deposited the crew in Hut B, a depressing little cave that had seen better times but was still better than nothing. The mob was nearly thirty strong at the be¬ ginning, but dwindled rapidly to a fluctuating fifteen. Julie and Cathy were helped out by assis¬ tant editor Liz Nugent, photogra¬ phers Mark Wolfe and Jean Mar¬ tin, business staff members Suzi Von Oettingen, John Donlon, Cindy Kappler, and Beth McGolrick, and those wonderful people who did various jobs rang¬ ing from writing to typing to keeping the editors from going ra¬ bid, Melida McKee, Melanie Gil¬ lum, Diana Hassel, Dorothy Nu¬ gent, Mary Canadas, Cheri Morrow, Lisa Hewitt, and Leslie Frazier. After a respectable sales drive, the staff went to work and—THE FIRST DEADLINE WAS (more or less) MET! And so were the other deadlines: The Hi-Jacket people began to truly believe in miracles.

Across the globe humans are battling their governments, econ¬ omies, pollution, their societies, and themselves. No matter which issue is ana¬ lyzed, there is always one pre¬ dominant disrupting factor—petro dollars (or the lack of them). Inflation has effected everyone and every price. Most families even went through, the “Mother Hubbard” routine. Housewives could not provide food for their husbands or their offspring if their cupboards and purses were bare. The price of oil struck an all time high, ever since Kissinger negotiated with the Arabs to bless us with their friendship. Small time gas stations began a new mania—bankruptcy, while the driving consumers complained of big company monopolies. President Nixon also had finan¬ cial problems floating .through Capital Hill. Somehow he ob¬ tained more money than he could legally utilize for his campaign. Thus the public was faced with more unwanted problems — Watergate. In addition to these universal disruptions, s cientists were prob¬ ing and discovering new prob¬ lems. These intellectuals began to make the public aware of the ozone predicament, and urged the world’s population to stick to roll¬ on deodorant. Wildlife committees posted sta¬ tistics on dying animals as the Ecology Association received re¬ ports on dying people. Time passed, but these prob¬ lems still lingered. Watergate hearings .jammed the T.V. chan¬ nels, pollution worsened, there was a mention of war in the Mid- East, and prices steadily rose. Finally, those responsible for the Watergate affair were pun¬ ished, a new President, Gerald Ford, was appointed, prices kept skyrocketing, and scientists toyed with a new critical emergency. These men claimed the world was approaching another ice age. However, despite the alert, no one really became alarmed. Maybe a “freeze” would help the economy—and end the other woes besides. The World at War “I wish we didn’t have to be at school by seven —I always oversleep.” “It’s a real drag to go to schoo at noon—there’s no time to do anything after I get out.” “My English class has nearly forty people in it!” “I’d really like to take Concert Choir, but it isn’t offered second shift.” “There’s no time to hold club meetings. anymore. When’s all this going to end?” By 1974 the question of how to educate 1,700 students in a school originally built for many less had become a nightmarish problem with no solution agreeable to ev¬ eryone. It seemed that the com¬ plaints that arose from the stu¬ dents, parents, or faculty stemmed from the only answer given in response to Osbourn’s plight—split shifts. The class of ’75 had been the first group with the dubious honor of having completely gone through four years of split shifts at Osbourn, and few enjoyed it. The freshman, sophomore, and junior years had been bad enough, going to school on over¬ lap shifts, either from 7:30 A.M. througu 1:30 P.M. or 10:15 A.M through 5:15 P.M., while “normal” high, schools worked on a 9:00 A.M. through 3:30 P.M. day. Mat¬ ters were not helped when a new school building originally desig¬ nated for Osbourn was awarded to Stonewall Jackson, who shared he same overcrowding. With the 1974-75 year came the final blow—separate shifts were enacted to relieve the burden. Separate shifts were not the an¬ swer Osbourn needed. For a first shift student or faculty membei to get eight hours of rest and still wake at six he would have to be asleep by 10 P.M. Needless to say, few people at Osbourn at 7 A.M. were bright-eyed and raring to go to work. Tardy slips marked “overslept—unexcused” fluttered on to first and second period teachers’ desks daily. First shift students did have a blessing though, with an entire afternoon to work, study, or goof off. That only infuriated second shift stu¬ dents who spent the afternoon pent up in school. Then again, second shift students could watch television at night until the test pattern came on. Loyalties were challenged by the shifts. No one was merely an Osbournite, but an “Osbournite, first shift,” or an “Osbournite, second shift.” Second shift stu¬ dents screamed when first shift beean two hours late after a snowfall and second shift had to go.at their regularHtime, but first shift students screamed louder when second shift was canceled altogether due to a snowstrom and first shift had gone their full time. Friends who had been in the same classes since first grade sud¬ denly never saw each other in school. Extra-curricular activities became such a hassel that many clubs and planned events were given up—no matter when they were scheduled it was inconven¬ ient for someone. These were not the most seri¬ ous problems caused by Os¬ bourn’s overcrowding. Education suffered, so the students were hurt more than they realized. Class time was cut to the bare minimum allowed by the state. Every second of class time was valuable, and many of those sec¬ onds were wasted. While Stone¬ wall embroiled the community with their controversial text¬ books, Osbourn teachers had to beg, borrow, and almost steal enough books for their classes. Many students could not take the classes they wanted, either from the class being overcrowded al¬ ready, or the class being on the other shift. These problems had only one solution—and that solution sat nearly completed, but tied down by the legal bonds of lawsuits.
