n August 30, 1984, about 1100 bodies trudged to school to face nine months of books, lectures, and tests. Also confronted by new faces and procedures, we found numerous changes. The student parking lot? The familiar asphalt was bombarded with bricks, dirt, and equipment! We invented creative parking spots, while some drivers “forgot” NOT to park in the teachers’ spaces. Though we were granted an extra minute to make it to classes, many of us still managed to be late in 6 minutes! Weighted grades were additions that pleased students who took high level courses. We grew accustomed to these changes and to our new principal, Mr. James Gpperman. While groans and moans occasionally accompanied Osbourn’s added dimensions, we sure had fun!!! by I Homecoming 3

T he first major event of the school year — Homecoming Week — not only attracted old alummi home to their old high school: this festive week also provides for those still “stuck” in school, an opportunity to be creative noisy and spirited. The fun gets off to a start with dress-up week — everyone dressing as their favorite teacher one day, hat day the next, beach day the next, until finally the big day itself — Homecoming — arrives. The theme for this year was “Favorite Funnies.” which motivated everyone to work to win first prize to support their class funds. Floats from each class are judged for their beauty, originality and effort and each class has their own designated hall that they decorate with “spirit links.” The class with the most of these paper chains wins a cash prize.
