Marcia Maybrier Mrs. Shirley Wege enjoys her day at sehooll The day began with a mob of people crowding through the school in an attempt to find their first hour class. The halls were filled with the melodious sound of voices crying Where’s my class?” I can’t find my locker!” Help!” It was October 7, Switch Day. Parents, grandparents, and family friends were attending school in the students’ place for the day. This gave them a chance to see how classes were taught and to meet the teachers, and to relive their high school days. It was unamimous however, the classes had changed since Morn” had been in school, and most agreed the lunch hour was much too short. No wonder the stu- dents and teachers have indigestion,” said Erma Holt. During break the favorite hangout was the Home Ec. room for coffee and donuts. After that everyone headed for the most important room, the restroom! ”1 can’t get in! It’s wall to wall people in there!” said Pat Hayes. But, despite a few minor setbacks Is it green book, blue notebook or blue book, green notebook?”, said Pat Hayes, every- one had a great time. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be,” said one student,” but I’m glad I'm not going tomorrow!” Mrs. Carolyn Davis and Mrs. Sharon Webster discuss their classes.

When school started the magazine sells took off with a boom. Top sales person was Kathy Rakestraw with 61 subscriptions. Instantly decision making for Prom started. Many times the class seemed overwhelmed by the task, but in the end Prom was a big success!

THE TIME % • WILL COME FOR '90 Ready to drop out? Sophomores wouldn’t think of it! The real fun is only just beginning. Now that their freshman year is over, it’s time to settle down and enjoy high school without feeling the need to run from seniors. Among some of the highlights of the year are class rings, letter jackets, and Not Being a Freshman! Now it’s our turn to laugh at somebody!” said Debra Tred- way. The main reason I like being a sopho- more is that I’m not a freshman anymore. No more people yelling 'Move it, you little freshman!’ I don’t have to hide in my locker because I’m scared of seniors. What a relief to be a sophomore! Now people don’t laugh at what I wear and say, 'Can you believe it?, What a nerd!’ We finally get our class rings and are superior to someone else for a change. This year has been a blast and Mr. Hayes has to be the best principal there has ever been! Two more years to go and I’m off and running to school and more school! W.S.U. here 1 come!” Rachel Alsip T.

New teach- ers, a different building, and harder classes are just part of it. The freshmen learned to be good per- formers early in the year. Chorus lines in the hallways to the ever-popular song, We Love You Seniors” provided regular entertainment for the rest of the classes, making them realize how glad they were not to be a freshmen anymore. Welcome freshmen girls! Baby bottles, rattles, and stuffed toys littered the freshmen lockers for a day. The upperclassmen teased them a lot, but it was all part of the tradition and they had a lot of fun. Even though they are looking forward to next year, they’ll never forget their freshmen year.

Other academics are equally important to prepare the stu- dent for life: a sense of his past through history, a sense of his present through science, and a sense of his future through computers. There is life after high school for the Oxford student who avails himself to the academics he is offered. Cherri Ward studies hard. Brian Skibbe sneaks a peak in Home Economics. Raymond Watts pretends to study. Academics Jeff Sawyer you’ve got to be kidding! Academics 31 LANGUAGE ANTS ENGLISH, SPEECH AND DRAMA Sherri Widener works on her research paper in the library. English classes were busy and book- filled. Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Wilcoxen kept the students on their toes. English I students studied Shakespear’s Romeo and Juliet and Robert Newton Peck’s A Day No Pigs Would Die. In English II, the students were required to write research papers over different medical conditions and sicknesses. They also read The Scarlett Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Adventures of Huckle- berry Finn by Mark Twain, and The Cruci- ble by Arthur Miller. The English IV students read Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beacher Stowe, Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzger- ald. The Speech and Drama class wrote speeches and demonstrations, recited poetry, and gave IDA’S (Improvised Duet Acts). Mark Jones takes a break while looking at a book. Jared Bratcher studies intently in Mrs. Taylor's English I class. 32 Language Arts Mike Bursack. Wade Metz, and Robbie Janzen look up information for their research papers. Heidi Stout and Blake Nethercot rehearse for a play in Speech and Drama class. Language Arts 33 SCIENCE STUDIES Mr. Larson’s biology class spent the year studying everything from cells to mammals. They dissected worms, crayfish, starfish, clams, frogs and rats. During the second semester a newcomer joined the class. This newcomer was Miss Ramsay, a student teacher from Southwestern College. In the spring the class took a field trip to the Bart- lett Arboretum in Belle Plaine and the Sedg- wick County Zoo in Wichita. The chemistry class experimented with acids and bases, observed chemical reac- tions, and made a hydrogen bomb. The anatomy class studied the functions of the different body parts. To help them understand body structure they dissected a cat. The earth science class had some fun with their studies. The highlight for them was a cookout and some stargazing at the old mis- sile site. Sabring Marsh takes time to smell the flowers. 34 Jeramie Owens and Bjarne Haukas, butterfly nets in hands, are prepared for action. 35 BUSINESS AND COMPUTERS The business classes ranged from Accounting to Business Law. The Business Law class went to see first hand how the courtroom worked. In the computer classes, they worked on computer programs. This year with the addition of four Apple GS computers the classes were able to explore color graphics. _____i Sherry Ballard works on her accounting. Business Computers Shelby Connor works on one of the new computers. Greg Clements does some calculating. Business Computers 37 MATH AND HISTORY The History classes ranged from Ameri- can History to Constitution and World Af- fairs. The students learned about their past and the history of the world. They learned what jobs to choose and how to go about preparing and applying for it. The math classes studied everything from algebra to geometry. The students learned about angles, square roots, circumferences, and many other interesting subjects. The highlite of the year was the math relays, held in the spring at Belle Plaine High, which several students attended and did well in thanks to Mr. Allison’s teachingl Mike Bursack smiles nicely for the camera.

HISTORY TAKES MEANING Every year the junior class visits the State Capitol in Topeka. This year they headed for Topeka on March 17th. They toured the Judicial Building, Ca- pitol Building, State Treasurer’s Of- fice, and the Kansas State Historical Museum. While in the Supreme Court room, they held a debate over homework. The controversy was whether they get too much homework or not enough. Joel Horsch, Justin Shepherd, Ernest Hall, and Steve Deyoe participated in the debate. Ralph Abston, Reverend Keneth Parker, Reverend Keith Bradbury, and Rochelle Brown went along as spon- sors. Everyone ate lunch in the cafeteria for the State Legislatures. The Oxford Lions club paid for the meal. After a long, educational day every- one boarded the bus, driven by Bob Myrick.

In Home Ec, students learn how to sew and cook. They also learn important ideas about child care and development. Woods and Automechanics holds much useful information also. Students in Woods learn to make chests, clocks, desks, beds, etc. Those in Automechanics get hands-on experience working on engines. All students in Shop have the opportunity to show their pro- jects at the Ice Cream Social at the end of the year. T.L. Price gets his 3-wheeler ready to go muddin'.

Hilary Sauzek, this year’s drum major, worked everyone as hard as she could to make sure that the band would be their best. Mrs. Bradbury worked hard with the choir members to improve their sing- ing skills and prepare them for contest. The choir performed two concerts and gave several special performances. 44 Band Ratings of the Band and Choir Choir League Regionals State II II Oxfordians 1 II Mixed Ensemble 1 SolOS: Sherry Widener 11 + II _ Brian Lemke II II Rachel Bratcher 11 + III David Parks II 1 1 Jennifer Rivers 1 Dallas O'Hearn I 1 1 Amy Madison II II Jennifer Davis Band 1 II Solo: Hilary Sauzek (Clarinet) 1 - II T.

Chorus 45 c OXFORDIANS Oxfordians is a group of exceptional high school singers who are chosen on the basis of their singing talent. They were under direction of Mrs. Brad- bury. They started the year out with get- ting to know each other and each ones singing ability. They also chose songs which would be taken to contests, and sung at musical performances later on in the year, like It’s Raining Men” which was sung during the fall concert. It's a Grand Night for Singing! They were asked to perform for many occasions of the community, such as the Lions Club Ladies Night Banquet in Wellington. They also per- formed Big Girls Don’t Cry”, and It’s My Party” at the Oxford Friendship Meals Annual Award Banquet. At contest this year they sang Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier.” They received a I at League and a 2 at Regionals.

JOURNALISM The Journalism class of 1987-88 was instructed by Mrs. Taylor, and made up of 14 students. Throughout the year they were kept very busy with the monthly newspaper and the yearbook. The newspaper editor was Kathy Rakestraw. The newspaper featured many articles of inter- est to the students, and faculty. The newspaper featured articles of the past and future school events. As the year went on it became better and better full of things that would be fun and in- teresting to read. Such as valen- tine messages, who scored what in sports, what awards were giv- en to whom, and what Mrs. Hiltz- man said when she saw the snake. No event was over looked.

The yearbook was full of hard work and a little extra as well. The yearbook editors were Buffy Buss, and Susan Maybrier, the head photographer was Julie Nethercot, the assistant photog- rapher was Drake VanDest. The staff all worked hard on getting the best yearbook possible, they took time and effort in getting just the right pictures. They tried to capture the high school times of the students lives through copy and pictures so that when students look back they’ll see the times captured in a wonderful book that they would always be cherished. m vm OF OUR LIVFF Claire Hayes and Kathy Rakestraw work on the newspaper. A BREAK FROM THE BOOKS To provide a break from the books, Practical Educa- tion Day was scheduled for the students. The day con- sisted of many different careers. Some were hair styl- ing, cosmetics, floral design, chess, exercising and the highlight was Mr. Abston's military collection. Melynda Lacey, Rachel Bratcher, Shannon Johnson and Tammy Lowry find out that Mrs. Taylor is a true blond. Blake Nethercot participates in the floral design class. 48 Practical Education Day Robbie Janzen cuddles with Erika Evans. Mr. Larson takes a break in the lounge.

Much was learned and improvement was obvious in each of the teams as the seasons pro- gressed. There were many thrilling mo- ments, and a few disappointing ones. For the seniors, there are fond memories to look back upon and savor. For the under- classmen. there are more opportunities to look forward to. Time, effort, and hard work can pave the way to even more suc- cess in the future for Oxford athletics. Coach Allison Annette Neises sets the ball for a spike.

It's harder than it looks, as we found out this year. The guys hustled and gave all they had, but sometimes it just wasn't that easy. Hours of practice in the heat and the cold, and many sore, aching muscles didn't stop the drive to win. They came through in the Homecoming game against Bluestem. The score was 27 to 14. All the hard work and practice definitely paid off. Although the Cats didn’t win every game, they had a lot of determination and im- proved throughout the year.

Leading the Wildcat season were four seniors; David Ballard 44, Mark Jones 21, Wade Metz 45 and Tony Schmitz 32. Coach Shaffer and Coach Larson pushed the boys to practice hard every night to bring out the best of themselves. All the long hours and pains of practice came down to one last night, the finals of Sub- State, at Garden Plaine. The Wildcats played Wichita Colliegate. 57-55 was the score. Unfortunately Oxford didn’t come out on top. The coaches, fans and school members were extremely proud of our O.H.S. basketball team. B A f K E T B A L L Jason Catlin turns and shoots for two.

The year started with nerves on edge and anticipation high as practices came to a halt and the first game of the season made history in Wildcat Country. Although the first game wasn’t a victory the Lady Cats kept their enthusiasm as the year progressed with 2nd place in the West Elk Invitational Tournament. The intensity became greater as the Central Raiders were about to meet with the Lady Cats. The Lady Cats were fired up and ready to go, but fell short of a victory. Unfortunately their destiny wasn’t what their dreams were made of and they ended up the regular season games on a bad note. Then the playoffs started and they were hot with a three time victory over Sedan. But Lady Luck just wasn’t on their side and they ended up a game short in going to state.

DEDICATION TIME Dedication and hard work is what it takes to be on the Oxford Track Team. As the year went on the track team slowly thinned out which left the team with only twelve members towards the end of the season. The few that were left worked hard and gave it their all. Claire Hayes, Julie Nethercot, and Debbie Wege all made it to the Regional Track Meet which was held at West Elk. Claire ran the mile, Julie ran the 800m and the 400m, and Debbie ran the two mile. Debbie qualified at Regionals for the State Track Meet where she placed 9th in the two mile. The 1988 Oxford High Track Team: Back row- Coach Larson, Christian Abston. Rachel Bratcher. Chris Creed.

'«i Jared Bratcher demonstrates his school spirit dur- ing the Freshman pep rally. I believe high school organizations are a vital step in developing the skills of responsibility. They also provide a source of entertainment which is positive and worthwhile. Being a member of an organi- zation also means learning to cooperate with others. The blending of ideas for parties, fund raisers and other projects are not always smooth at first but as in the case of Mother-Daughter Banquet, all the hard work is worth the outcome. If you have ever said school is boring, I bet you are not an active member of an organization. Fun doesn’t just happen. Someone has to assume the role of leader- ship to make ideas come true.

The year got off to a great start! From the other side of the field you could see bleachers full of red and black and hear voices yelling for the mighty Wildcats. Everyone had a lot of enthusiasm for football and it was carried into the basketball season. Out on the court, the players could hear not only the cheerleaders and Pep Club, but parents and other people of all ages rooting them on. The athletes of Oxford High had much support and many fans cheering them on.

A year filled with new experiences and new friends. The school year 87-88, in a new country we all, Charlotte, Kirsi, Mona and Bjarne probably never thought we were going to see the end of the year. But now it is here, and we all made it. So much has been different this year, school, family life, culture, almost everyth- ing. But there is one thing that is the same at home, good friendship. I think we all would like to thank all of the students here at Ox- ford High. They are great! Always there if you need some help, always there if you need someone to talk to, yes, they are al- ways there! There are many new events and organiza- tions that we have never seen or heard of before, that we all joined in this year, prom. Pep Club, Kayettes and a lot more. Sports are another thing and I think Bjarne had a great experience playing football this year. Go 84! Mona did great school work this year, which resulted in a membership of the Na- tional Honor Society. We are proud of you! Kirsi and I really enjoyed Home Economics this year and final Fascination 88” was a great final of the year. Graduation May 23, was another new ex- perience for me, Kirsi and Mona. The last school experience but probably the one we will always remember. May 23, was a very enjoyable day for us all but also a very sad day. The last day togeth- er — friends, teachers, and us four — Char- lotte, Kirsi, Mona and Bjarne. By Charlotte Skott Bjarne 'BJ” Haukas, you know better than that!

On August 26.1987 it was time to box up the beach balls and forget about your favorite soaps. When you went to school, old friends gathered around your locker to share with you all the weird and exciting things that had happened during the summer. The first few days were hectic. Everyone was trying to figure out where they were suppose to be and elections were going on to decide who would be class officers. Buffy Buss was named Miss Oxford and Shannon Hardmon was named Miss Geuda Springs. Switch day was anthing but ordinary. This was the day that the students got to sleep in and the parents went to school. The basketball season was successful. The boys made it to the final round of sub-state and the girls made it to the semi-final round of sub-state. As the year progressed, it was time for the Juniors to start getting ready for Prom ’88 which was held at the Regency in Ark City . . . Susan Maybrier and Joel Horsch enjoy prom. I i'
