The wildcats were busy all year making tracks in athletics, academics and musical competition. The wildcat student body kept very busy attending the many extra curricular activities such as athletic functions, band concerts, dances, Christmas programs, and many other fun filled events. They were also kept busy raising money for many trips and events that will always be remembered. 2 1. Christi Smith gets into the books. 2. Mr. Kehres gives another one of his looks. 3.

Tuesday, dress up day, came and Cherri Ward was the best dressed girl, and Aaron Oliver the best dressed guy. Wednesday, T-shirt day, Debbie Torres, Lawrence Carson, and Mike Kelley captured first prize and a lot of strange looks. Thursday, Mark Jones and Eden Sauzek went all out to be the most outra- geous. Friday, red and black day, everyone showed their school spirit, but Hilary Sauzek, Tammy Bingham,, and Anne Mette Pettersson showed their school colors. “The Freshmen will meet in the mathroom not the bath- room” Mr. Logsdon 8 22 86 “Hey, you got algae grow- ing in there!” Mr. Kehres 10 17 86 “I did it, but I used the wrong words.” Annette Neises 10 21 86 “Today’s dingbats are to- morrow’s geniuses!” Senorita Stone 10 17 86 Greg Clements 9 26 86 “I won’t question your di- mensions.” Mr. Rinehart 8 27 86 “I am not responsible for what I say.” Mrs. Book 10 21 86 “Freckles are in!” JoDe Potucek 10 17 86 i 2 1.

They had a busy year with all the fundraisers but in the end it was all worth it. The class of 1987 was held with high regards by many people. They seem to get along well and they work great together. They have the ability and ambition to accomplish their desires. The 1987 seniors were a very unique class and will never be forgotten at Ox- ford High School. “I feel our class is knit very close. Even though we have a few differences we all get along pretty well. There seems to be a spe- cial warmth and love that surrounds our class and I hope it will always be there.” Sandy Farha “The class has really meant a lot to me. We have all grown up together and now it is time for us to go our own separate ways. Some of us may never see each other again. I’m really going to miss Oxford High. I always want to remember 'leUnactucitty 76e ?9Z7 Colors: Burgundy and Dusty Rose Flower: Pink Rose tipped in Burgundy Motto: The Dreams of today are tomorrow’s future. my friends and the memo- ries we have shared. I know we have got what it takes to make it big in the world and we will do it.” Catherine Elwood “Our class is one of the closest groups of people I have ever seen. We have all shared in the good times and the bad which has brought us together almost like a family. I know I will miss these people when we all gra- duate and go our separate ways, but the memories they left me with will stay with me forever.” John Cooney “The seniors this year were a very good bunch. They were hard working and reliable. They did a good job in the classroom. It was a pleasure to have had them in class. This senior class has shown good leadership and have helped make this past school year a good one.” David Hunt “When I was a freshman I couldn’t wait until I was a senior. Now that I’m a sen- ior I have realized the re- sponsibilities and decisions that all seniors have to make and that these deci- sions will change the course of their lives.” Kristen Gill The Cosby Show was voted the favorite T.V. show of the 1986-87 season by 25 % of the voting Seniors. 55% of the Senior class that voted, did not believe in the use of nuclear weapons. Top Gun was voted the most popular movie of the summer by 45% of the voting Seniors. Football was voted the most favorite sport out of 40% of the voting Seniors. When asked “If you were stranded on a desert island which teacher would you want to be stranded with?”, some of the responses given by the Seniors were: Miss Stone, Mr. Audley, Ms. Parsons, Mr. Wyckoff, Mr. Abston, Mr. Hunt, Mrs. Wheeler, none, and a goodlooking one. 20 out of 36 seniors answered this survey. 1.

Anne Mette Pettersson applied to come to America with American Foreign Service, AFS. There were too many who signed up with this group, so she reapplied with Stu- dents Traveling Service, STS. This group works with American Intercul- tural Student Exchange, AISE, in America. She was the last Norwegian girl placed in AISE. She was notified in the last of June that she was staying with Mr. and Mrs. William A. Moore of Geuda Springs, Kansas. In the AISE program they place more exchange students in Kansas than anywhere else in the United States. “The thing I think is most different from home is that people are always in a hurry over here. They can’t stop and relax. It seems to me like they want to do as much as possible in as little time as possible. Another thing is that you don’t have the same friendship as the one I am used to at home. That might be be- cause I have some exceptionally good friends at home. I think the classes are much differ- ent, but that is probably because the whole school system is so differ- ent. In Norway, we do not have the same schedule every day and every class is 45 minutes with 10 minute break between each class. Since we do not have the same schedule each day we also have seven hours a day. What I like most I think is that people are very kind here in United States of America. People have been so nice to me so far, and that makes me feel good and I don’t miss everything at home so much. The thing I dislike is, which I have mentioned before, that people are always in a hurry. The Norwegians are more quiet and steady, so it is quite a change to come over here. Most of all I miss my parents and my family and then I miss my friends. Another thing I miss is the Norwegian nature, mountains, and the sea. So since the landscape is so different. I sometimes get bored of the flat endless fields here.” f2 'pisidt ‘‘poneiyvt' £xcfauiae Stcute«tt 00 1 1. Anne Mette Pettersson helps out at the annual pancake feed for the Senior Class. 2.

Their year started off great. They received their class rings on September 5, 1986. Prom was an event that last- ed all year for the Juniors. They were kept very busy rais- ing money, and preparing for the very special event. They kicked off their money making season by having the annual magazine sale. The top sales person was Buffy Buss. The two team captains were Julie Nethercot and Sherri Wege. Although Todd DeMint has been a member of the Class of 1988 for eleven years, he de- cided to graduate early with the class of 1987.

The most important reason is not being a freshmen anymore. 2. There are only two more years left in high school. 3. You are not a freshmen anymore. 4. You receive your letter jackets and get to order your class rings. 5. You are not a freshmen anymore. 6. The upper classmen realize that you are alive. 7. You don’t have to hide in the lockers when the seniors walk by. 8. People don’t point and laugh all at the same time. 9. You are finally superior to someone else. 10.

Army. We want you!” 21 Class Of Freshman Fit Into High School Life The 1986-87 Freshmen class was filled with memories that they will never forget. Mr. Music please?! We love you Seniors, oh yes we do! We don't love anyone as much as you! When we're not with you we’re blue. Oh Seniors, we luv you. (Oh yes we do!) “I think being a freshman is okay. This last school year has been pretty good. It was more fun than Junior High and it was a lot different in some ways than others. I was scared to come into high school be- cause you don’t know how to act and you don’t want to do anything wrong or different because you get embarrassed easy and everybody says, Well, that’s a freshman. Then you don’t want to say something wrong or you will have to answer to your big sis- ter or big brother. I know that your high school years go by fast. I hope the next three years are a lot more fun or just as fun as this year.” Tammy Burton Rachel Alsip Shanda Black Tammy Burton Laurie Calvin Charlene Creed Tyson DeMint Jeff Elwood Tia Evans Audra Flickinger Charity Faulkner Kathleen Frame Denise Goentzel Chad Gressel Jody Hendricks Jamie Johnson Jeff Sawyer takes a science test.

There is a lot of activi- ties you can be in like Pep Club, and Kayettes. Pep Club is really fun because you get to go to all the games, cheer along with the cheerleaders, and help with homecoming. I think this year has been fun, but it has gone by way too fast. I hope the next three years are more fun, but go a lot slower.

William Shakespeare was a big part of each English class. In English I the freshmen studied Romeo and Juliet. They were also kept busy during the holiday season writing children’s stories. The English II classes were introduced into the widely read novel of The Diary of Anne Frank. English III read The Scarlet Letter and Huckleberry Finn, and were kept busy writing research papers and adventure stories. English IV studied English Literature, Uncle Tom's Cabin, and MacBeth. The Speech class kept busy writing speeches all year preparing for the League Contests which were held in Oxford this year on March 24, 1987. Keri Thomas won the Fifth District Voice of Democracy speech contest sponsored by the V.F.W. Brian Lemke and Brian Hamilton work to- gether on their winter story. 26 Rachel Bralcher demonstrates how to sew on a button in speech class. Lori Mooningham expresses herself in English class. A Little About A Lot Mrs. Wilcoxen askes, “If you have alot of something, do you have abunch too?’’ She seems to have spent a lifetime lighting these two little words, a lot. When these two little words are put together they make a four letter word. We know how much trouble four letter words get us into, especially in Mrs. Wilcoxen’s classes. The correct spelling is a lot” for those of you who didn't know, or slept through Mrs. Wilcoxen’s English classes. Mr. Kehres seemed to have had alot” of kittens for sale at one time, and Mrs. Wil- coxen wanted to know if he had “abunch” for sale too. Kim Payne demonstrates how to construct a model in speech class. Shayne Morris contemplates his English. The Oxford High School Band received three I's for their outstanding performance in the parade at the Kansas State Fair. The Pride Of Oxford In the fall of 1986 the Oxford High School band grabbed thirteen more ones for marching and field competition at the Kansas State Fair and Arkalalah festival to add to their collection of excellence. The OHS band was one of the two bands chosen to represent the state of Kansas in a spring festival in Orlando, Florida. Most of the year’s activities were centered around raising $12,000 for their trip to Florida. The band performed five concerts during the year. They sold candles, candybars and bumper stickers. The band hosted a Hobo Dinner that featured special entertainment and original decorations. They collected newspapers and aluminum cans to help raise funds. In the spring they held an auction. Throughout their efforts to raise the money for the trip to Florida, the band was supported by the town. In addition to all of these activities, the band also participated in the musical, Funky Winkerbean. “To have a chance to be a member of the Oxford High School Band is a one in a life time. You have to be totally dedicated, and have pride in yourself and in the other band members to reach such great accomplish- ments in a small band.

On April 8, 1987, the Oxford High School concert band had one more outstanding performance at the 2a State Contests at Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas. This will be the third year in a row the concert band has received three I’s at State competition. The band enchant- ed the judges with Overture Bisham Grange and Silver- crest. WATCH OUT FLORIDA, HERE WE COME! On May 22, 1987 the band left for Sarasota, Florida. The planned schedule was rigorous but full of fun and exciting things to do. The first day the band was in Florida they spent the morning entertaining passengers as the passengers pre- pared to board a luxury ocean liner which traveled the Atlantic Ocean around the perimeter of Florida. The rest of the day was spent relaxing by the ships pool, playing games, or exploring the huge liner. The third day the band enjoyed riding? the waves at Cocoa Beach. After being drenched with the salty ocean water, everyone enjoyed looking for shells or shopping in one of the local surf shops. The afternoon was spent at Cape Canaveral touring the space museum and watching an entertaining demonstration and lecture. Disneyworld and the Epcott Center were scheduled for Wednesday. There was a lot to see, and the band tried to do as much as possible. Thursday the band played at Cypress Gardens as the opening act to the Gardens’ world famous ski show. After touring Cypress Garden’s the band prepared to head home. The trip home took 27 hours, and Oxford was a welcoming sight. The band was lucky to have two great bus drivers to (corn, to pg. 31) Palm trees were a new sight for most of the band. Tammy Bingham tries on a space suit at Cristine Thompson, Dave and Judy Hunt, Shirley and Paul Banks, and Mel the bus driver takes a Cape Canaveral, break at Old Town. (cont. from pg. 30) accompany them on their trip. There was Mel, who told a joke as the band passed through each state, and there was Rich, who the band hopes was able to sell his combine. The sponsors who accompa- nied the band on the trip were Paul Banks, Shirley Banks, Dave Hunt, Judy Hunt, Sherra Taylor, Dan Taylor, Avin George and Jeannette George. The band prepares to march at Old Town in Kissime, Florida. 3f Math Science The Future Is Ours to Understand Enter mathroom. All you hear is moans and groans. Many people do not understand the need for a good math education. At Oxford they give many different choices to the math program. For the lucky Freshmen you get your choice of Intermediate Algebra, Algebra I, or General Math. Math, like life, gets harder as the years pass. The next few years you take Geometry, Algebra II, Consumer Math, Trigonometry, and Calculus. You think these courses are hard, you ought to try spelling them. The Science classes range from courses such as Physical Science, Biology, Ecology, Physics, Chemistry, and Earth Science. The science classes this year were very busy with many experiments. The Ecology class planted flowers in the shape of OHS in the front of the high school. The Biology classes always follow the yummy tradition of dissecting worms, rabbits, and Mr. Kehres’ fingers, by accident of course. Mr. Dement took his classes on a trip to the Kansas Cosmosphere to study the stars, galaxies, and the many secrets of space. Some of the students had to find out for their own personnel satisfaction if there was really a person called Luke Skywalker. Travis Beeman makes it all add up. Ernest Hall plants tulips while Mr. Kehres su- pervises. 32 The Physics Band found music (?) in a lot of strange places, presenting Tony Schmitz on the stroking screamer, Todd DeMint playing the harmony hose, and Aaron Oliver and the ever popular Bunsen Boomer. Mr. Clark reads the funnies. Oops! No! That’s just the math tests. Cindy Betzen and Tulsa Embrey take a break while Eddie White does some calculating. Mike Smith plants tulips.

Putting It Into Print The 1986-87 Journalism class kept very busy this past year meeting deadline after deadline. Working both on the yearbook and the newspaper is not an easy task. For Mrs. Taylor it was her first year teaching, and I’m not having an easy time writing all this blasted copy that I hope she appreciates. Gretchen Moore was back as our beloved Editor who was gifted with a very strong disposition. Cammie Starlin Villa was our cool, calm, but sometimes having uncontrollable temper tantrums Layout Editor. Yvette Abston, disguised as the mild mannered Business Manager, locked herself in the bathroom many times throughout the year, and then appeared from nowhere in a pen striped suit to make the numbers add up, but they haven’t so far. Paul Jones was the Photography Editor spending most of the days locked in a dark, dark, dark room developing rools of film. (??) What was Paul really experimenting with? Some say he was running a laboratory experiment- ing with animals and Kodak paper. Debbie Torres, our in training photographer, spend many of her days in the dark room also. She said she was sworn to secrecy about the mysterious contents of the darkroom. As I had said before this was Mrs. Taylor’s, code name Lost, first year of teaching. She really held the class together during the rough times. One thing I have noticed that has increased each day throughout the year was this little tiny bare spot on the back of her head. I’m not sure if she was aware of it, but I am sure it probably was caused by nerves and not old age. JoDe Potucek and Cristine Thompson were our layout recruits. They worked very hard all year and were well appreciated. They had a lot of problems with their sanity in May. Reports from the janitorial staff say JoDe was seen drawing and labeling pictures on the bathroom wall with Cristine following behind yelling “Deadline time!’’ 34 Yearbook staff: Back row; Yvette Abston, Gretchen Moore, Paul Jones, Mrs. Taylor.

This picture is for you Rhonda!! Foreign Languages History After signing numerous requests and letters to the counselor and school board, the Oxford students acquired a Spanish course. All their diligence had finally paid off; Spanish was on this year’s schedule! French was also offered at a special time, before school. We shared our new foreign language teacher with two other high schools. Miss Stone started at Oxford bright and early, then went to Belle Plaine High School before ending her day at Ar- gonia High School. At Oxford there are many History classes to choose from. Courses such as American History, taught by Mr. Hunt and Mr. Abston; Political Geography taught also by Mr. Abston; Constitution and World Affairs, taught by Mr. Hunt; and Vocations and Psychology by Mr. Wy- choff. “Foreing languages are the key to the world.” “Les langues etrangeres sont le cle au monde.” “Las lenguas estranjeras son la Have al mundo.” Miss Stone “ ... We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, and they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness ... And for the sup- port of this Declaration ... We mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our For- tunes, and our sacred Honor.” John Hancock July 4, 1776 We the people of the United States of America, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure dosmetic Tranquility ... Secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” John Hancock John Adams George Washington Thomas Jefferson “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal ... This nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth ...” President Abraham Lincoln November 19, 1863 36 Curt Farha, Todd DeMint, Keri Thomas, Paul Jones and Miss Stone, the French class a' la carte.

Home Economics And Shop: Learning And Discovering Home Ec, by contrary belief, is not all cooking and sewing. Home-Economics has broadened its programs to help to- day's generation prepare for the future, to live a more secure and happy life. This is an excellent program especially in to- day's society. In Home Ec 1 you learn the basics of cooking and preparing food, judging food quality and how to properly store food. In Home Ec 2,3, and 4 you first become familiar with the parts of the sewing ma- chines, and then you learn to sew. From there, you learn about child care, parent- ing, family relations, and creative cook- ing. In this year’s child care program Mrs. Book and Mrs. Hiltzman brought their two children, Sara Book and Justin Hiltzman for the class to study. In wood and metal shops you learn the basics of wood working, drafting, cabinet making, automechanics, and metal form- ing. Before beginning to make your pro- jects you learn the safety measures of the use of each machine. In woods you make such projects as clocks, cedar chests, desks, coffee tables and dressers. In Met- als you first learn to draft, then to make funnels and toolboxes, and then on to bigger and better things like overhauling engines, forming metals, and the basics of automechanics.

Music And Motion Mrs. Bradbury, the chorus director, has given her time and tremendous effort to improve the music department at O.H.S., which has paid off. The choir traveled to League contests again this year and received three outstanding I ratings. It was a very big accomplishment for the choir. There were a total of six soloists who competed in different levels of competi- tion this year. Catherine Elwood, received a I at league and a II at Regionals, Anne Mette Pettersson received a I at League and Regionals, Dallas O’Hearn also received I’s at League and Regional competition, Rachel Bratcher, Becky Woods and Todd Demint also received I ratings at League and Regional competi- tion. The 1987 Physical Education class was coached by Dave Hunt. The year started out with a weight training program which lasted about nine weeks. They then played volleyball and rotated from a ping pong tournament to basketball. During the middle of the year they started playing whoofle ball and soccer. In the Spring the P.E. class began tennis, softball and archery. 4f Business Computers Owning your own business??? Could be. But it might be wise to take some of these courses first. Let me explain the courses step by step for you. 1. Accounting- The profession of learning to count on the top and bottom of your fingers. It usually takes a few years of college to mas- ter this. 2. Typing- Learning to use the key board on computers and type- writers with all ten fingers. 3. Business Law- This class teach- es the tricks and schemes of owning your very own monopolizing com- pany and learning how to get away with it. 4. Shorthand- Learning to read in a scribble code that only graduates of certain state universities can read. The Business courses at Oxford include: typing, business law, short- hand, and accounting, all taught by Mrs. Hiltzman. The computer class at Oxford High School is a fairly new business class instructed by Mr. DeMent and Mr. Banks. The class is isolated to computer programming and com- puter literacy. First the classes learn the basics and fundamentals of the computers and how to operate and understand them. Then they work on computing their own programs and how to use the computer print shop. Each student recieved their own floppy disc to work with throughout the year. In the advanced computer classes they learned to use the print shop and how to make flyers, post- ers, and banners. Computers are a good way of learning many things but the most complex learning machine ever con- structed is the human brain. T.L. Price works on his program during computer class. Sherry Myrick and Chris Creed are hard at work in computers. Kathy Rakestraw sets her margins in Typing i. Mrs. Hiltzman concentrates on trying to read the paper. Darna Oliver, Kathy Rakestraw, Curt Farha, Julie Nethercot, Kristen Gill, and Keri Thomas, just a few in computer class. What do they really do in there? Matt Mayberry smiles for the camera in computer class. 43 Eden Sauzek, Michelle Russell. Tammy Bingham, and Gretchen Moore live it up at a STUCO meet- ing.

Spreading Spirit And Performing Proud. The 1987 Pep Club was filled with school pride. Scream- ing their lungs out at the varsity games and freezing their buns off during football were just a few ways old Oxford High Pep Club showed their school spirit. The boys at O.H.S. joined in the fun during the Volleyball season cheering on the girls. (Boom chugaiuggal!) Led by Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Book the pep club also financed both the basketball and football homecoming coronations. To be a queen candidate you must be in pep club for at least three years including your senior year. The Pep Club also sponsored the football and basket- ball homecoming spirit weeks, and hosted the spirit breaks during the 1986-87 school year to raise funds. Tammy Bingham was the President of the Pep Club, Eden Sauzek the Vice President, Catherine Elwood the secretary, and Keri Thomas the treasurer. Cheerleading began in July of 1986 while the Oxford High School cheerleaders attended a rigorous training camp at Emporia State University. In September they began putting their training into ac- tion at the football games. Many freezing cold nights were spent spreading spirit. Kassa Collingsworth, Crystal How- ard, Susan Maybrier, and Kathy Rakestraw worked very hard to boost O.H.S. spirit. Cheerleading is a sport in itself. Tolerating rainy cold weather, strained aching muscles, and practices in the hot August sun were all a part of what it took to be a O.H.S. cheerleader. O.H.S. Cheerleaders: Kathy Rakestraw, Crystal Howard, Su- san Maybrier, Kassa Collingsworth. 47 Wildcats Take Life Seriously Spanish Club This year’s Spanish Club was very limited in it’s activities due to it be- ing the tirst year at Oxford.

Each year the Kayettes hold the annual arthritis drive. The mem- bers of Kayettes go from door to door in our community to ask for pledges to help those suffer- ing from arthritis. During the holiday seasons, the Kayettes travel to the nursing home to entertain the people living there by dressing up for Halloween and (caroling) at Christmas time. During the last of winter, the Kayettes who have acquired the most points throughout the year travel to the Kayette conferences. There they meet other Kayettes from different schools and see how their program works. In the spring the Kayettes hold their annual Mother Daughter Banquet in which the Kayettes say good-bye to the graduating seniors and hello to the incoming freshmen. The Kayettes spend most of the time decorating the lunchroom to fit their theme. The 1987 theme was Spring Time in Paris. Freshman and Sophomore Kayettes.

As soon as the burning August sun falls behind the horizon a little sooner each day; The smell of the last minute barbecuers rushing to the park racing the first frost of the year; Indian sum- mer creeps slowly in, the smell of fresh cut wheat and alfalfa tease your nose, the Oxford Wildcats catch an epidemic known as FOOTBALL FEVER. Out on the practice field, gasping for air, sweating, sore aching muscles, losing unwanted summer luxuries, are the proud Oxford Wildcat Football team getting ready for their first match. The first match was just one of those games. The Wildcats were ahead clear up to the last 50 seconds of the game. The Collegiate Spartans grabbed their second wind and scored the winning touchdown. There were many just as interesting games as that. Some say the Wildcats had a very dissappointing season, but inside of each player, their own personnel goals were achieved. The Wildcat team in a pre-game warm-up. Wildcat Royalty The 55th annual Arkalalah held in Ar- kansas City, Kansas, on October 24-25, 1986 will always be remembered by Mi- chelle Russell; Miss Oxford, and Gretchen Moore; Miss Geuda Springs. Their activi- ties included lunch at the Arkansas City Country Club, a banquet at Regency Court Inn, the coronation of Queen Ala- lah, a Grand March and Ball. Michelle’s escort was David Ballard and Gretchen’s was Devon Bonfy. They also participated in the Arkalalah Parade held on October 25, 1986 and the Watermelon Feed Pa- rade on September 6, 1986. Sandy Farha reigned as the 1986-87 Football Homecoming Queen on October 17, 1986. Her attendants were Kristen Gill and Eden Sauzek. Sandy’s escort was Jerry Middleton, Eden's was Curt Farha, and Kristen’s was Bart Dennett. Kassa Collingsworth reigned as the 1986-87 Basketball Homecoming Queen with Bart Dennett as her escort.

They were undefeated, except for their losses to Central of Bur- den. The team had six seniors, Bart Dennett, Curtis Farha, Jerry Middleton, Shayne Morris, John Cooney, and Jeff Leggett who were back again this year to make it work, and it did. With help from Jason Catlin, Mark Jones, and Tony Schmitz the Oxford boy’s basketball team pushed their way to the final round of the S.C.B.L. Sub-State tournament. The boys received second place tro- phies in both League and Sub-State losing to the rival of the year Burden, both times. The boys had tremendous talent and excellent team work. They had a strong season and one they will never forget. Bart Dennett and Jason Catlin both made the S.C.B.L. All League team. (P.S.

The girls placed second in the League Tournament and we went on to win eight out of their last twelve. I want to con- gratulate the whole team for their effort, time, and espe- cially to the two girls that made the S.C.B.L. All League team, Keri Thomas and Rachel Bratcher. I want to also thank the parents of the players and the community for their support. I would like to give a very special thanks to my assistant Greg Rinehart. We have had some good times in the past four years, thanks for all your help.” Coach David Kehres. Rachel Bratcher shoots for two as Kristen Gill watches. 63 Wildcat Track Dedication, hard work, and intense training were all apart of the Oxford High School track team. Training began in early spring when of course it rains, but everyone loves the rain. The clouds receded as the Kansas heat increased, and so increased the training program. More laps, more sweat, more aches. You spend day after day pushing your self to the extreme limits you didn’t realize were there. All that hard work pays off in just a few seconds. You then remember why you spent day after day pushing yourself, the pure sense of accomplished you get when you win a race. The Oxford track team increased in size as well as talent this past year. One such person was Debbie Wege, a freshman. She qualified at the regional track meet and went on to state competition. Boys' team: David Hunt, Blake Nethercot, Jim Miller, Jody Hendricks.

The STUCO sponsored Ice Cream Social started off the evening at 5:00 p.m.. with a variety of ice cream and cake to get you ready for the nights events. The Woods I, II, III, and IV students proudly presented their shop art in the lobby of the gymnasium. Items ranging from jewelry boxes, to dressers and roll top desks were just a small part of the show. The spring fashion show, Jammin’ in ’87, began at 6:30. The students of home Ec I, II, III, and IV modeled their outfits ranging from jams to dresses. The Pop concert began at 7:30 and was the main event of the night. The audi- torium was filled with family and friends ready to see the many talents of old Ox- ford high. Songs and dances were pre- sented to the audience. Anne Mette Pet- tersson brought to Oxford a very different song from Norway which Becky Woods helped her sing. It was a duet of two cats caught in casual conversation which Paul Newhouse' Mary Prohaska. Robert Dorman, and Shannon Hardmon perform at the pop Anne and Becky portrayed well. Robbie concRrl Dorman and his back up crew of Audra Flickenger and Rachel Alsip lip sang to the ever popular “Time Warp’’ which was origionally sang for the Rocky Horror Pic- ture Show. An abundance of solos and ensembles were performed. Each person involved in the pop concert did an excep- tional job this year. Ernest Hall displays the table he made in shop.

In memory of Rhonda Renee Smith September 12, 1969-April 22, 1987 At the age of 17, Rhonda was waiting for a heart and lung donor. Before her illness she was active in Kayettes, pep club, journalism, manager of girl’s basket- ball, and a member of the Oxford High School Marching Band. Why do things change? Why do things change? One day you’re laughing, the next day you are crying. One day you are running, the next you are in a wheelchair. One day you are full of life, the next you are fighting to live. One day you think you finally figured out what you want to do, the next day you don’t know anymore. One day you figure out how to solve a problem, the next day you find a new one. Life would not be life if there were no changes. Some will be good, others won’t be. That is just life. by Rhonda Renee Smith f26 Rhonda Smith, Mrs. Hiltszman. and Mrs. Parks enjoys Junior Senior Prom. A Abies, Tyson L.-7-76; 79 Abston, Christian A.-8-75; 78 Abston.

Oxfordians Anne Pettersson, Todd DeMint, Kassa Collingsworth, Dallas O'Hearn, Tammy Bingham, Shannon Johnson, Catherine Elwood, Sherri Wege and Rachel Bratcher gave their final performance of the year at the pop concert. Once again the radiant sun slowly shuts her eyes as she lies down on her bed of golden wheat. She lingers only for a moment to take one brief, final glance at the memories of another year at OHS. The vast fields of ripe wheat wave good-bye to yesterday as a gentle breeze whispers the comforting words of tomorrow. Prosperity, hope, rebirth, love and life. Our eager hearts yearn for these precious gifts as we dream of what the future holds instore. We say good-bye to 1987. It was a year filled with joy, laughter, and great accomplishment, but also a year of frustration, pain, sorrow and failure. A year never to be forgotten. These memories of good and bad will thrive within us for the remainder of our lives. We will carry them as we ven- ture on in life to accomplish our dreams of yesterday. It's hard to say good-bye. To see four happy years of my life become a part of the past. I am no longer a part of Oxford High School, yet it is, and always will be, a part of me. by Michelle Russell Copy Editor Senior 1987 Seniors Kassa Collingsworth and Kristen Gill prepare for graduation. 3 JCCTq •J' 11C
