This act depicts the role of clubs and organizations at OHS in 1978. Without this act, school would con- tinue, but would not have the spice, Can you imagine never having bake sales, competition with other schools, club officers, dances, magazine drives, Rose Curtain plays or car smashes? Yes, all these things that make school worthwhile and interesting would not exist if it weren't for OHS clubs and organizations. During the scenes from this act, hundreds of cast members were learn- ing while enjoying themselves.

JL, A four-year regular in lmiseball, Qatcher lvlark Rirkard was a starter in three sports: baseball, football and basketball. sports season begins with a kickoff, tip off, or a first pitch and ends in victory or defeat. Act III is titled Victories and Defeats as that summarized a vital part of Our High School, 1978. . Owensboro High School's sports program lived up to its winning repu- tation again in 1978, posting far more victories than defeats. OHS is known in Kentucky as one of the winningest sports schools in the Commonwealth and the 1978 teams followed the tradition-written script of the past. Act III focuses on football, basket- ball, baseball and tennis, but there are many more never recognized stars in this act that starts in the early fall and continues until the time school is out in early June. Year-in-and-year-out, Our High School is one point, one touchdown or one run ahead when the contest ends. Part of the domination in the act is attributed to the winning tradition of the past. Victories or Defeats is simply the final outcome of a sporting contest and Owensboro High has always been strong in the victory column. The 1977-78 script for Victories and Defeats'f is like all the others for OHS teams. The scenes from the act record victory after victory amid our enthusiastic, cheering throng of fans. - By Steve Mclntyre Qpeningf
