All of the cheerleading squads take part in the bonfire activities. VoMeybai cheerleader Marla Callahan and wrestling cheerleader Guylene Applebee show their support for the Pirates. Pleasant Sounds Whether we realized it or not. pleasant sounds surrounded us day after day during school. From the minute the first bell rang until the final pep talk from a coach or teacher, we were exposed to many sounds unique to our school. No other gym sounded like Kingman Gym when the Pirates ran on to the court before a basketball game. And how about the band and choir who played and sang Crimson and White” with enthusiasm that no other group could match. Some of the sounds were heard so often we never even realized they were around. The sounds of hundreds of feet walking up the stairs and people calling to their friends down the hallway were very familiar to us. as were the bells that beeped throughout the day and the announcements which came from the all-call system. We mention all of these sounds because they took up a good part of our days and contributed to our many memories of Ottawa High School. 2 lntroduction N

Every year ihe student vote for a senior girl to be Homecoming Art work above the doors adds a special touch to the front Oueen. 1984 Oueen I inda Ryg proudly holds the scepter and entrance, wears the crown Beautiful Places It is hard to mention what strange sights there were during the year because everyone saw things in a different perspective, but there were a few strange sights we all saw. During Spirit Week many unusual things were seen everyday, such as nerds. Hawaiian hula girls, and guys wearing mascara and a dress. And don't forget the day almost everyone wore something other than blue jeans and tennis shoes. Guys with earrings, ducktails. and multicolored hair caused many people to look twice, as did girls dressed in leather or slicked back hair. Not only were students appearances different but lockers with shelves, posters, and stickers were decorated to catch many eyes. And new metal doors, which replaced the old wooden ones, changed the looks of the buildings. New and different sights were seen throughout the halls making 19841985 different from any other year in OHS history. 4 Introduction
