Celebrating seemed to come easy this year, more than any other year, for OHS students. The sophomore class members started the celebration by host- ing the annual Frosh-Soph Mixer. With the announcement of the Homecoming queen and her court, the most exciting and fun-filled week of the school year began. From there everyone joined in to celebrate spirit week. Many students and teachers displayed their school spirit by dressing according to the designated dress-up days, and other week-long activities. Students were also busy after school and on weekends with shopping sprees, dates, nights out with friends, and attending various sports events. The students at OHS lead very active lives filled with many things to celebrate. ff 4i X XX M' ' X TUULWTUT ,l ' I f I it 'QP' ff M mx if X Student Life: Erin Schlosser, Editor Tara Walling Student Lifefl5

Next, Brian Williams, vice-president of the Student Council, made a surpris- ing announcement. The votes for queen had been mistallied and our new candi- dates were to be introduced for the stu- dent body to vote on, Mr. Roger Hooper was selected Home- coming Queen by popular demand, Kicking up their heels to the tune of Goodie Two Shoes, the Pomerettes entertained the crowd. The Saga of Super Pirate came as a surprise to a few unsuspecting students in the audience who took a major role in the cheerleaders skit. Before the Stinky Sterling Warriors had a chance to foil the Pirates, Super Pirate made his dra- matic entrance and saved the day. After reigning the entire week, it was time for the 1983 Queen and her court to be presented to the student body. Leading the court was freshman atten- dant Dee Anne Moran escorted by Dean Haage.
