Some common substitutes are caffeine- free colas, Nutra-sweet, gasohol and Cliff notes - all designed to be a substitute for the real thing. But they're not. No matter how convincing these imitations seem to be, they fall just short of the real thing. Shannon Strain, sophomore, said it best: You can't improve on the best there is. If it's not Pirate, it's not P.C. There is no substitute. Haven't you heard the news? lf it's not Pirate, it's not P.C. There is no substitute I 2-Opening It was okay to play favorites occasionally.

I 'Average students kept P.C. rolling Time spent as people and not pupils was much more bustling and busy than expected. The Putnam City Times was composed of special plans, special places, and special people. As Putnam City is unique, so was its student body. Each Pirate showed his pride in his own way. Some of us put our extra energy and time to work for us in athletics. Foot- ball, baseball and cross-country teams strove for first string, while basketball players tried to finish their required miles by October. Other students put energy into brainwaves in the hopes of becoming future philosophers and senators. Still others put it to work for their school. We stayed after school for meetings, making plans and decisions, decorating halls, and blowing up balloons. Who could forget the Rowdies - al- ways willing to put forth energy to show that the Original would always be the one. Being unified didn't mean that every Pirate was the same. We listened to dif- ferent music - anywhere from Adam Ant to Ax to Alabama. We enjoyed dif- ferent movies, and read different books. Weekends were very valuable times for the student body. Spending time with friends and doing what we did best was satisfying, because students knew that they weren't just another face in the Pirate mob. Concerts were a big thing - for some of us the only thing. They took us into another world and not only could we hear the music, but we could see it and feel it, too. Movies such as Flashdance and Re- turn ofthe jedi stirred our emotions and made us think. When we opened a book, we became the character and ex- perienced his feelings, his lifestyle. Once in a while, we would take a break from all the hassles and activities. lf we happened to look in a mirror, we saw ourselves as average people. Then we would remember that 1500 so- called average people were the pieces that held a not-so-average school together. f IN STUdENT life.. O eve Q- N9 P.C. Times Some students' pride was so strong that they stood out in the crowd. Brad Vogel, junior, and Woo Perieda, senior, hoisted the skull and crossbones high as Stirling Gilfillan, Glenn Simpkins, jack Clark, Danny Murdoch, Rich Albro, Lori Hodges and Pam Smith showed their pride. Hall decorations took hours of after-school preparation. Todd Moon, senior, stretches to tape up a banner. Pirate Pride was sometimes hidden, such as un- derneath a folding chair. Kim Ellison, senior, and Mindy Holloway, junior, performed a drill team routine at a pep assembly. 8 Pirate Pride tg' I R ...sax g , . V , i.. y :Xl ,. i is Students spread the Pride - get fired up By all medical standards, we should have been quarantined. Pirate Pride spread through the stu- dent body faster than any disease in history. From the first day of school, someone was always trying to sell a rib- bon, a button, or a pair of leg-warmers to some unsuspecting student. But it wasn't long before one person was all that was needed to start a cheer when it used to take five or six. Students be- came more and more convinced that the Pirates were something to shout about. Debbie Nichols, senior, said, Pirate Pride is really believing that we are the best, whether we win or lose. Students had opportunities to be good winners and good losers. But dur- ing the year the die-hard Pirates never lost sight of the one moment that their indifference turned to Pirate Pride. When we won our first football game, everybody was standing around talking about our team. l felt so proud, and l thought, 'Yeah, l go to that school, ' said Melanie Henry, sopho- more. I think Pirate Pride first hit me when I first marched out onto the field with the band, said jimmyWebb, junior. The students whose pride was never daunted seemed to resent those whose pride wore a little thin when the scores were low. It makes me upset when I hear peo- ple complaining and yelling at the ref- erees from the stands, said john Co- nant, junior. But the thing that makes me mad- dest is someone who buys a Rowdies shirt and then never cheers. lf you're gonna be a Rowdie, get really rowdy! The Rowdies, the pep club and other fired-up spectators helped to make this year one of tremendous school spirit. Mascot Pete the Pirate was a familiar face to stu- dents. He encouraged them to jump to their feet during games and assemblies. Crowd-pleasers were important to boost the morale of the mob. Woo Perieda, senior, donned a gorilla mask to rile up the crowds at the Ed- mond game. The first day of my sophomore year, l was walking down the hall, and everybody was so friendly. I thought to myself, 'l'd rather be here than anywhere else.

Templeratures sizzled past 100 de- grees and students were forced to find ways to cool off. Many frequented Lakes Texoma or Tenkiller for weekend water-skiing trips. White Water was al- ways crowded, even late into the night, For some students, learning was ex- tended into summertime in the form of workshops or summer camps. Rocky Ridge orchestra camp was a seven- week stint in Estes Park, Colorado. Alli- son Yee, Debi Lusk and lvey Simmons attended this camp, which was com- prised of private lessons, orchestra re- hearsals, and theory classes. I took senior English in summer school instead of taking it this year, said Glenn Travis. lt was easier be- cause I only had to worry about one class instead of five or six. Also, we did a shorter version of the term paper than regular English IV. lt sure beat taking it during the school year. Between weeks of furious activity for when it became Night Water.

Out- ings and parties were postponed until students could somehow make some money to spend. Aside from stealing, a part-time job was the only answer. But while the long line of fast-food restaurants beckoned, students fought to see that their jobs were just a little out of the ordinary. Mike Potter, sophomore, threw newspapers for the Oklahoma City Times. I only throw papers in the afternoon so at least l don't have to get up earIy, Potter said. It can be kind of a pain, though. When I was in the play Runaways,I had to leave rehearsal early every day to throw the papers on time. Kathleen Morton, senior, took care of children at the Acorn Children's Center. lt's not a bad job, but it gets v l . l and spending itj nerve-racking in the winter becausel the kids can't go out to play. They getl restless, Kathleen said. Q However, the best part of the moneyf game happened after work, when pay-2 checks were securely in hand, With theg exception of a few who were able tof put money away, most students spentl their money almost as fast as they made: lt. I My money goes so fast that I hardly? have time to enjoy having some for al change, said Glendia Robertson,j sophomore. I Students binged on concerts, mov-l ies, record albums, clothes - anythingg to deplete their pockets, starting thej whole process over again. ' Expenses can really eat up a student's Tim Allen, junior, stopped at the local gas ' ul to fill 'er up. 2 l ll sg., i l 4 l l ln order to pay for movies, expenses, and clothes, students had to get part-time jobs. John Cary worked at the Handyman department store. Rowdies t-shirts were hot sellers, with almost 100 students spending S8 each to be a part of the Rowdies. Gary johnson, junior, David Rowe, sen- ior, and Cord Urton, junior, set out the shirts for students to pick up. ,l -1ef:f:,., - , A K F'5'7fSf4 'We ' fxt-451' 'a ww ef A ' : - ff?

Setting priorities was often disheart- ening for it meant that something was going undone, but most of the students remained hopeful and kept on plug- ging. Most of my sacrifices have been compromises, said Irene Steigerwald, senior. Some of the compromises busier stu- dents made were cutting down on time with family and turning in an occasional late assignment. Parents and teachers tried to be understanding, but some- times the constant absence of a student or son was just too much for them. I get so frustrated sometimes, said Mrs. Kathy Weiner, English teacher. It's good for kids to be involved, but classwork is really important, too. lt's also frustrating to the kids to be so far behind. Why were some students so eager to put so much work on themselves? Mainly, I'm just a hyper person. I have to have something going all the time, said Fran Frantz, senior. Senior Allison Yee said, Having a good feeling of accomplishment keeps me going. My family supports me and that helps too. With the help of family, pals and a little organization, these busy students were able to swing their hectic sched- ules and still have a little time for play. Q l F Q . 0 .

Kelly Cole models her new Gen- esis tee-shirt for David Kelley. lndividuality Expressed After Hours Money was usually the deciding factor in what students did after hours and the extent they would go for entertainment. It costs about 520.00 for a 'real' date, said Scott Stevenson. You take a girl out to dinner, and et something to eat. But if she's having a gooftime, it doesn't matter how much money I spend. I like to take a girl some place nice, said Kris Karns, but not overly expensive. I don't want the irl to feel guilty about the mone I spend. Wien hungry, students had a ten dollar bill or a freshly cashed payroll check, l.lfs Homemade Ice Cream or Harry Bear's were popular places to grab a bite before movies or concerts. Movies such as Footloose or Risky Busi- ness were attended by students in both mobs and twosomes, as were the Genesis concert, the Lionel RitchiefPointer Sisters show, and other concerts making an appearance at the Myriad or Lloyd Noble Center. You don't have to spend money to have fun, said Barry Walker. I sometimes rent a movie at Sound Warehouse and watch it with friends for about half the price of seeing it at a theater. As students' pockets began to drain, they looked for entertainment that cost little or noth- ing. Parks were frequented by frisbee buffs and afternoon football players. School sporting events were also ways to spend an evening without going broke. All of a sud- den, said Bill Forster, it was really fun to go to the basketball ames, because we kept winning. Other schoolf-s onsored activities such as fash- ion shows and tffe StuCo movies added up to inexpensive entertainment. Although video game addicts were declining, some persisted in the craze. Mark and I play video games, said Robin Henry. I like this one called Q-bert. I got on level three once. We do all kinds of silly things, because we're silly people. N Evenings at home were just as common and entertaining as those spent on the town. Sometimes, said Lisa Marshall, Steve and I just stay home and watch television and I cook dinner for him. Urges to cut footloose couldn't overpower the nagging conscience of some students when faced with an exam. Late nighters or all nighters were pulled by students in an effort to catch up on school work or cram for finals. jobs also took away from free time, Saturday nights usually spent with friends became wor nights as students earned money to pay ex- penses. lndividuality prevailed throughout students' after hours activities. Students' activities were as varied as the students themselves. Katie Blair said, There's almost no point in discussing night life. Everybody does so many dif- ferent things, and it's often the person you're with that makes the difference. Say you go to the park and goof off. That sounds boring but if you're with someone special, it's terrific. 15 'v 3 1 ad uf! 'IB Night Life r Football games were the ideal way to get togeth- er with friends and display school spirit. Pam Smith, Glenn Simpkins, and Sonja Hall shared a laugh at one of the football games, Sometimes there wasn't enough coffee in the house to keep a student awake during an all- nighter.

Lynda Hartman and Darla Fielding showed their appreciation for the disc jockeys that made our dances possible. Soul claims floor at dances ' eat remained the most important ele- ment in dance music, with soul music taking control of the P.C. spotlight.

K' .'i? ,, . . ij Without a doubt the strongest soul voice heard in the cafeteria was that of Michael jackson. His album Thriller sold more copies nation- wide than any solo album in history, and these sales showed at school dances. The opening bars of Beat It or PYT would rouse cheers from the student body as kids scurried to find ll their friends and improvise jackson- like dances together. jim tEvansJ and l worked out this great routine to 'Beat lt', said Tracey Gillaspy. They played 'Beat lt' at al- most every dance, so we used it a lot. Punk music still held high status on the dance floor. Punk and new wave buffs would wait for an occasional B- 52's song or Whip It by Devo to voice their enthusiasm. They usually didn't have to wait long, though, for Kj-103 kept a steady stream of new wave going through the gymnasium. uiet Riot and Def Leppard were the extent of the metal played by disc jockeys at dances, but apart from an occa- sional grumble, that seemed enough to keep students rocking. Perhaps the least-heard music on the dance scene was country and western. Except for an occasional Alabama or Willie Nelson tune, the country voice was virtually unheard in P.C.'s cafeteria and gymnasium. Whether Thrilled Or Whipped Students jammed To Their Favorites.

It was a good theme idea for the Christmas dance. 9,9 - Robin Henry Support prevails on dance floor as students cheer break dancers Songs like Thriller and The Curley Shuffle spawned a new generation of dances for the student body. As new songs became popular, students dis- covered new dance steps from televi- sion, watching other dancers, and ex- perimenting. Students struggled to learn the improvising ruled as record- breakers invaded floor I 24 Dances newest steps and then demonstrated them to anyone who would watch. Support was more frequent and widespread on the dance floor than al- most anywhere else. Often students gathered around dancers displaying real talent and clapped wildly for each new move. The most popular of these crowd-pleasers were the break danc- ers, who spent as much time on the ground as they did on their feet. Slam-dancing was still popular, as in previous years, but a few die-hards kept the punk movement alive for an- other year. Formal dress was an obstacle at the Christmas dance, but students man- aged to overcome this.There were plenty of slow songs played by the band Mirage, and smuggling wasn't too difficult even in the most elaborate formals. Whether swaying and singing to lourney's Faithfully or partying like it's 1999 , students took the opportu- nity to loosen up and show off a litte.

Grandma Tzeitel ilennifer Warrenl warned McLellan and Golde lMichele Cast performs More than 60 cast and crew mem- bers assembled in the auditorium to or- ganize Fiddler on the Roof, the dra- ma and vocal music departments' most ambitious production. Under the di- rection of Ms. Karen Baker and Mr. Don Wilson, the departments pooled their talents to produce a musical re- markably similar to Broadway. In fact, cast members signed a contract pre- ceding the show stating that they would rehearse and perform their roles exactly as they were done on Broad- way. The difficulty level of this show was in the stratosphere, said Baker. l'm really proud of the job we did. Baker's success formula was simple - push, push, push. We set realistic goals and we met them, Baker said. lf someone didn't feel like doing his share, that was it. If someone missed rehearsal, we kicked them out. lt was just too important to be there every day. Late hours were commonplace for Fiddler cast and crew. Students built difficult show sets, ran errands, found costume pieces and tried to learn lines, songs, and dances simultaneously. At times the strain on classwork was almost too much. When we did the 'Fiddler' preview, we had to be very careful about the scenes we picked. Half the cast was lit- erally flunking, said Lee Ann Dufford. The tension caused quite a few ar- guments, said Tim Hystad. The week before the show was our speech tour- nament. The strain caused people to be upset. People were getting ready to walk out, but lim Evans iPerchikJ said, 'lf you want to make the show good, stay. lf you don't care, then leave. just don't bother coming back.' That night we stayed until midnight. During the wedding of Motel and Tzeitel, the women held candles in reverence of the event. Melanie Brown, B.

Plays-27 Whether footprints or tire marks, Students make Skid marks, parking spaces, waiting at a freezing bus stop -the biggest battle fought about school was the question of getting there. Most sophomores, and even a few upperclassmen, took the bus to school. Despite ribs from friends and the inevi- table wait, there were advantages to this reliable transportation. I never had to worry about getting to school late or making Mom get up and bring me, said Michelle Gillespie. For students without licenses or cars, bumming rides from friends or rous- ing parents to bring them were solu- tions. I take my friends to school some- times, said Steve Remerowski. I don't ask for money, but if they offer it, I take it ll I have to get up early and feed the horses in the morning, said Michelle Beuchaw, so my mom just takes me. Parents weren't the only lifesavers for students without rides. Brothers and sisters were also tapped for trans- .dh . A With a little persuasion, Mike Eberhardt and Ricky Badilla managed to convince Todd LaBlanc to give them a ride to school. Bumming rides was a way of preventing a ride with parents or waiting at a bus stop. Even with the aid of crutches, a sprained ankle made boarding the bus portation, although they were some- times hassled because of the presence of little sister. My brother brings me, said Starla Tenney, but he's not embarrassed be- cause we're new and we don't know too many people. When all efforts failed, some stu- dents relied on their footwork to make it before the final bell. Unless they lived close to the school, students usually considered this something to be avoid- ed at all costs. One time it was icy and my mom was afraid to get out on the street. I had to walk instead and I was freezing, said Kristen Emmerson. Once the battle of getting there was fought and won, students concen- trated on the battles of classes, forgot- ten homework and tests of the day ahead. Parking spaces were sometimes hard to find for tardy students, so Ion Crail had to leave his truck a long hike from the school. P - -t,,,,,W-as., mmm If 5211 Wza Q difficult for Gary Melton.

During 1983, local Oklahomans had a few changes made to their city streets. The major project being car- ried out this year was the improve- ment of Grand Boulevard. Closing this major passway caused very heavy traffic on city streets, especial- ly May Avenue and Portland. The problem comes from people who used the highway to get to and from work and are now forced to fight local traffic.

Other Central Business District projects include Rob- ert S. Kerr Park, totaled at 51 million, and the Arts Council Building, formerly Fire Station Number 1. The vitally important project was the University Medical Center project. lt will provide such expansions as Chil- dren's Memorial Hospital, Single Family Homes and the Oklahoma Blood lnsti- tute, which will save countless Oklaho- ma lives.

Explosive realism prevails in Scarface a con- temporary drama released in December. The film starred Al Pacino. . fs'v. Movie studios across the nation pooled their talents and introduced a new crop of movies to alternately delight and disappoint Oklahoma audiences. Movie-goers suffered long lines and cola-covered theater floors to view movies such as Flashdance, Scarface and Terms of Endear- ment.' But perhaps the struggle least ap- parent in this year's films is one that occured behind the camera, the sto- ry of Yentl. Barbara Streisand's struggle to find a producer resulted in Streisand's producing it herself, as well as directing, co-writing the script, and starring in the film. By the time we started shooting 'Yentl', I had been involved with the I I Q , Q project for fourteen years. No one wanted to make this movie, said Streisand. Reunions were also prevalent in movies whether in front of the cam- era or behind the scenes. The Big Chill dealt with survi- vors of the sixties looking back at the events that shaped their lives. Two of a Kind brought together john Travolta and Olivia Newton- lohn from Grease fame, reviving the chemistry that made Grease so successful. There were plenty of movies to choose from, and Pirates picked their favorites and shunned the rest, proving that students and faculty were as diverse as the movies avail- able. Washington D.C. set the scene for D.C. Cab a movie about the hustle and bustle of being a big city cab driver, starring Mr. T.

Stephen King's supernatural thriller, The firestarter, was made into a film starring David Keith tof An Officer and a Gentleman l and Drew Barrymore tof E.T. J. The film dealt with the psychic talent of a small child and the government agency's effort to manipulate it. In 'YentI, a girls poses as a man in order to become a rabbi. Barbara Streisand was the true star of this film, both in front of the camera and behind the camera.

Each of the Student Councils in the past nine years were different. Al- though the projects were similar each year and the traditions have been per- petuated, each group has been differ- ent.

The experiences they have now in high school will have a bearing on any busi- ness career they choose. Competition began early as students prepared their oral presentations and studied for written events. Their first meet, held at Central State University, resulted in a third place overall trophy, surpassing nearly 50 other schools.

DECA 43 Working world bettered by classroom activities 5 arties were a part of the fun DECA had throughout the year. DECA members got together on Thursday, De- for their annual Christmas party. Included in the party were games and the exchange of gag gifts. The party combined with a regular chapter meet- ing provided DECA members a way to get to know each other better. Among the parties and the fun DECA sponsors and members tackled such projects as the FREE ENTERPRISE FAIR. The fair was a way for DECA to expose students to the principle of free enter- prise. DECA made signs to publicize the fair and they contacted businesses and convinced them to come and set up a booth displaying their products. The fair was well accepted, not only by the student body, but by the businesses that participated as well. Mr. Nelson Holloway said, New companies that came to the fair for the first time really cember 13 enjoyed it and would like to come back in the future. Twenty-nine businesses, services, and colleges came to show their type of free enterprise. There were serious goals in mind for Holloway, Mrs. Susan Stussi, and stu- dents. Classroom lecturing and tests were a large part of distributive educa- tion and fashion merchandising. Holloway and Stussi taught members of DECA how to do better work on the job. Holloway said, DECA's purpose is to teach students human relations and social skills and to get students to de- velop a good solid education back- ground in the world of work. To open DECA to students not famil- iar with it, Stussi and Holloway, along with DECA members, held their annual RUSH Party. Students who weren't in- volved in DECA and were interested in getting involved attended the pizza party. At the party they learned more about DECA and its purpose.

With a total of 135 persons, 85 pledges plus 60 members, Pep Club supported all school activities by making appear- ances at football and basketball games and wrestling matches. I think that the best part of being in Pep Club was that everybody got to participate in decorating and home- comings. said Marsha Storozyzyn, ju- nior. The few requirements needed to be in Pep Club were to wear a uniform on game days, to go to all home games, to participate in Pledge Day and to bring posters and candy to school. To run for officer at the end of the year, requirements were to have posi- tive 10 points, a minimum 2.5 GPA and to be a junior. To try out for cheer- leader, the prerequisites were to have a 2.5 GPA required jumps and tumbles and have positive 10 points. At away basketball games, the Pep Club helped the players win by getting the spectators involved in cheers. At times Pep Club was there when no one else was. I've seen people mature this year. I also believe that these people have a sense of pride that comes from accomplishing our goals this year. said Irene Stiegerwald, president. The official year for the Pep Club started with a Pep Club tea which intro- duced to future Pep Club members the from goals met sports the Pep Club would support throughout the year and the outfits the pledges would have to wear on Pledge Day. The year ended for the Pep Club with another tea which saluted the boys up for Pirate Buccaneer an award given to the male athlete who has shown excellence in studies, personal- ity and other activities as well as sports.

Pep Club 49 Responsibility comes with the territory Unlike most clubs, Pep Club officers and cheerleaders began their responsi- bilities before the new school year be- gan. Late in April of '83 they gathered ivy and put it on graduation arches. Our main job of promoting spirit is a hard but worthwhile job. Pep Club and a number of other clubs were a large cause of the high spiritedness that sep- arates Putnam City from other schools, said Pep Club president Irene Steigerwald. Officers and cheerleaders sold rib- bons and candy bars and washed cars as survival for Pep Club. This money paid for favors and the treasure chest candy when needed. lt also made bus trips and Pep Club teas affordable. Homecoming flowers, crowns, pre- sents, cakes and skit supplies were also paid for this way. Even masking tape and pins for ribbons became expensive. Cheerleaders started practice the day following tryouts, their break being the month of july.

The Pre-Perfor- mance Evaluation was a test used be- fore every routine where Drill Team members who don't know their rou- tine well are cut. It was not to prove that those who were cut were of lesser ability, but if only a certain number were needed, the girls that best pre- lpared for the routine were used. Usu- ially every one is cut at least once. said lStacy johnson. i We practice every morning from seven until 8:30 and after school Tues- day and Thursday from 3:00 to 5:00. There is a lot of hard practice that goes in it but it all pays off when we have a good performance, said captain Kathy Bellamy. At clinic, Drill Team received the Home Routine Award. They also at- tended Superstar competition in Ar- kansas and performed at Fidelity Bank. During summer clinic, Kathy Bellamy and Stacy johnson were nominated for the Super Star Girl out of many schools in Oklahoma and Texas which compet- ed. Kathy Bellamy won Super Star Girl and performed at the Super Bowl, the Cotton Bowl, the Hula Bowl and their parades. Stacy johnson was invited to go to Ireland to march in the St. Pa- trick's Parade.

Honor Society played an important role in developing a student's scholar- ship and leadership, said Richard Sa- lamy. Membership in Honor Society was a reward for a student's dedication to his schoolwork throughout high school. Through various school and civic activi- ties, Honor Society strove for develop- ment of school spirit, community awareness and overall student charac- ter. Concerned Honor Society members distributed a survey entitled Excellence in Education. In this survey, students were asked to evaluate their education and give opinions of college admission standards and the salary of their teach- ers. Honor Society members then tal- lied and published the results. Other Honor Society activities were the annual blood drive and holiday par- ties. Another strong student activity was Art Club. Nearly 40 students strove to improve and expose their talents through club activities. This is a club everyone can be in, said Brent Bond, president. We visit art shows, sell buttons and tee-shirts, and make clay pots. Members entered art exhibits, put- ting their artistic abilities to work by creating something for the general public to enjoy. Both Honor Society and Art Club created opportunities for students to expand both creative talents and aca- demic pursuits. .4-2 X Q fx . , .E I , K g .st- Surveys on excellence in education were distrib- uted by Honor Society.

Membership in N.F.L. is rewarding to the individual and the school be- cause the individual gets recognition and personal growth and contributes to the squad effort to make P.C. the best in the state, said Mrs. Glenda Fergu- son. In order to belong to N.F.L., students earned points from tournament work. N.F.L. members competed in both Oklahoma and out-of-state tourna- ments such as Emory in Atlanta, Geor- gia. They also attended workshops in the summer to brush up on their speech, drama and debate skills. Members who were chosen for the N.F.L. District tournament and placed first or second were eligible to com- pete at the national tournament held in San Antonio, Texas. National winners had a chance to compete for scholar- ships, which built incentive within the program. It gives a reason for people to keep improving, said Ferguson. Even though we like to win, we encourage personal growth as well. N.F.L. held a formal banquet at the end of the year to celebrate and to honor achievements of individual l members. Barry Walker said, N.F.L. is a presti- gious and widely-recognized national club, which I feel will be helpful in be- ing accepted to a good college. 5 c---Q Y it Ak .Qs fsck. , M 35f't?'f t . .s . - . - f 5: i gf A Y get ' 3 ....,..y,, 1 t , tc , ML , f A, -Q ' ' A F845 t 2 gp, 1 ,gs ' 5 ,, ' 1 9: -sg W' K K s N. lf Airplane trips were more exciting when shared.

Step by step by step you progress while learning more about your vocation and other people while working toward your goals. Car washes, sausage sales and ham- mer sales were used to fund the many conferences and seminars attended by VICA students. Profits from these sales were also used to fund a VICA picnic and a banquet held on March 6 to hon- or graduating seniors. With leadership and skill confer- ences held in the spring, VICA mem- bers had a chance to work toward the state contest and the United States Skill Olympics. A good thing about VICA, said jeff Siria, is that you can progress from a vocation like carpentry to building through leadership qualities learned in VICA. Interdisciplinary Cooperative Educa- tion was a training group for students either preparing to go straight into the job market or to continue into college or vocational education. In the ICE program, students attend- ed both academic and ICE classes, then trained on-the-job at least 10 hours a week. They followed a rotating training schedule which allowed them to learn all aspects of their career choice. Students were paid for their work hours and also given high school credit in the classroom. Students built leadership skills by participating and competing in voca- tion student organizations. VlCA's an- nual United States Skill Olympics brought together industry and labor representatives, educators and the public to watch 2,500 students com- pete in hands-on contests. Development of personal skills and leadership qualities were taught in class as well as part of the work force.

C Members agreed that most of the success of the club's major activities, such as the coronation banquet, the advent calendar sales, and the OBU conference was due to the time and effort offered by Frau Illona Morris, sponsor. I have sponsored the club for thir- teen years and really enjoyed it, said Morris. German's food, culture and language were introduced at the monthly meet- ings.

The group consisted of nearly 70 members. Because I was taking Spanish, I couldn't see any reason why not to join Spanish Club, because it sounded like a lot of fun. They have a lot of activities, said Jenifer Rolston. Many projects were sponsored by the Spanish Club. One of the major projects was raising money to have a Christmas party at the Little Flower Catholic Church. Spanish Club raised S175 dollars by having a candy auction. With this money, they bought presents for 16 underprivileged Hispanic chil- dren and then threw a Christmas party at the Little Flower Catholic Church with all the frills - including a pinata. Kathleen Morton, secretary, said, lt's real fun watching the kids bust the pinata. lt's part of their heritage, but they probably don't get the chance to do it. lt's really worth it to see the looks on those kids faces. Other projects Spanish Club spon- sored were the picnic at the beginning of the year, the Halloween party, the Spanish Club float, candy sales, and the Spanish Club booth at the Cancer Car- nival. Another major event was the coro- nation. Spanish Club members nomin- ated three girls and three boys. A fiesta at Chi Chi's celebrated the candidates' nominations, where the king and queen were also announced. Gifts were bought for underprivileged Hispanic children at Christmas.

Since French culture revolved pri- marily around food, French Club activi- ties extended the cultural basics taught in class. Club activities also gave students a chance to meet more advanced French students that they didn't know from class. Members met at club meetings to plan tee-shirt sales and their Mardi Gras, a French celebration culminated with the Coronation of king and queen. Battles said, French Club gives all my students in different classes an oppor- tunity to mix. I've seen many friends made at these activities.

The club sold carved wooden key chains, cutting boards and tool boxes for funds they needed to put their activities into motion. Club members also built, organized and operated a booth at the school Cancer Carnival. Putt-Putt golf course donated free passes as prizes, and all profits went to the fight against cancer. Vice-president Mike jones said he was proud of the progress the club made. He said, The club was much more active this year, both in meeting attendance and on the national level.

Iour- nalism and photography classes joined newspaper and yearbook staffs on the club roster to make up the group. Special speakers came to FIA meet- ings to discuss careers in journalism. Mrs. Liz Burdette, a yearbook repre- sentative from Newsfoto Yearbook Company, talked about being a year- book representative. Commercial art through advertising was explained by Ms. Barbara Hall. Another aspect of ad- vertising was described by Mr. Mike Kanaly, whose career consisted of de- veloping and selling ad campaigns. FIA members viewed the actual process of newspaper production when they toured the Altus Times Democrat in Altus, Oklahoma. ln addition, they vis- ited Altus High School and learned some broadcasting techniques in the high school television station.

Hours of library research made debators successful. Mike Murphy used the Reader's Guide to locale magazine articles. Academicall speaking Often academics were overwhelmed by the myriad of club activities and sport- ing events available to the student body. Students seemed to be more excited about activities they could choose themselves than ithey were about their re- lquired English class. But de- spite the complaints about homework on game night or Monday tests, academics remained the primary focus of all students. Whether it was the pride associated ,with high grades, or master- ing the fine art of getting by, students thought about their grades. Academic stu- dents were, after all, the reason students got up so early in the morning. Classroom studies and club activities remained friendly rivals throughout the year. Club sponsors coped with members asking for more homework time, knowing that when it came to teaching their own classes, they wanted the same consideration. Students juggled busy schedules and pulled all- nighters in order to pass. There was no substitute for what was learned in the classroom, because it some- times stayed in students' minds long after the final bell rang., No amount of pleading made Mr. Hoge change his mind, but Gil Gentry tried anyway. ..f4!' ifil is Stk iN Acixdemics...

Not just so- phomores-anybody can get into life and problems faced by others, said Barbara Anderson, an English Il teacher. A wide variety of literature was of- ff.. xA fered for students to study. English II stressed world literature, which were mainly short stories from all around the world. At least a semester of grammar prepared students for American Litera- ture in English Ill. I like English because I think it's in- teresting, Ann Horne said. I like lit- erature.

We write all year long - constantly. said Carolyn Speakman English III teacher. MacBeth and The Canterbury Tale. were examples of the English literature seniors experienced in their Englisl classes. Lisa Lovett said, I wish we would do more grammar and composi- tions instead of all the literature, be- cause I know I'll need it when I go tc college. My objective, said Ruth Hodgson senior English teacher, is to teach kid: an appreciation and enjoyment of gooc literature. Both Mrs. Hodgson and Heler Brown had the added responsibility o' taking Dr. Alva Card's place, a teacher who retired last year. I didn't even try to fill Dr. Card': shoes, said Hodgson. I felt she was sc far beyond me. All of the English teachers felt that literature was a solid foundation or which to base their curriculum for the year. Common experiences, they said were beneficial to the students in- volved. You can always profit by another'f mistakes, said Anderson. YoL shouldn't have to make them all your- seIf. Short stories made sophomore English a varied curriculum. Christina Simms reviewd a story for a test. Part of an English student's study is Elizabethan literature.

English 83 Formulas used for success More publicity re- cently on math in the nxt 'X news and on television is ' one of the main reasons that math is becoming so important in our lives. said Mrs. Charlotte Smith. Smith, who teaches algebra ll and calculus, be- lieved that kids should take a math course even if it doesn't come naturally to them. She said, The technical age in which we live requires much more math as well as science. Smith preferred lectures to home- work, but also gave outside work for a better balance in the education pro- cess, to practice what students learned in the classroom. Mrs. Smith's personal style of teaching included a combina- tion of written and much needed oral communication to succeed in math and that the much needed outside re- inforcement is vital to success. Many advanced math courses were preparatory for college and advanced high school math was a prerequisite for calculus. Stacy McCowan, junior, com- mented, Math is becoming a big part in our lives with computers for exam- ple. Math helps me now because it will make it easier for me in college because most fields use math. Smith chose to start teaching math because she always loved it in high school and did exceptionally well. Many students wondered what those trigonometry and quadratic equation problems did for them, but some felt it could be the formula for success. ,. . W,----W...

Math-85' Seminars add experience You appreciate what goes on around you a lit- ilitt tle more. One of the many benefits of taking a science course was ex- plained by Mr. john Knight. Mr. Knight's ten years of teach- ing experience enabled him to teach the senior science seminar. One of the lesser known science classes, the senior science seminar, has been available to students for ten years. It was specially designed for students who would like to further their science studies. The prerequisites were physics and chemistry and departmental ap- proval was required. There was not much homework in the senior science seminar. Every nine weeks students did six different college level experiments. When the required experiments were completed, students were allowed to do any experiment of their choice. In this way, students ad- vanced their knowledge of areas in which they were interested. Tiffany Waring, whose career goal is to be an astronaut, was a seminar stu- dent. She said she decided to join the senior science seminar because I like to work on science stuff on my own. She continued, I get to do a lot of extra stuff that I wouldn't usually get to do 5 Earlier this year the class went to Will Rogers Elementary and each student taught three classes of science. There is more math involved in chemistry than biology, said New- comb, but not as much as in physics. Some labs that were conducted in biology I were blood typing, bacteri- ology, and the dissection of a frog. Biology II cloned plants, crossed fruit flies, and dissected fetal pigs. Mr. Mike Roach said, A kid who knows biology has an edge over some- one who doesn't. Experience in science pays off down the road in lots of ways. He continued, Not only does every kid need to know how to take care of his body, but a science class can pay off in scholarships to colleges. Students agreed with the teachers about the benefits of science. Elise Reid said, Science helps you to get a better understanding of things around you and everyday life. Physics proiecls were entertaining as well as edu- cational. Curt Cooprider tested his toothpick tower with sand. I 86 Science Astronomy student Glenn Kinyon used the telescope to gaze outside. ' ll lt I lS l-IE Experiments made Physics enjoyable. The Vandagraph machine captured Rick Callaway's interest. Textbook assignments helped students understand Biology I better. Shannon Strain did some last minute adjusting before turning in her paper. Bacteriology was one of the fields studied in Biology I. Aaron Shipp and Allen Churchman examined bacteria under a microscope. Science 87 j i 'm sorry to report that the world no longer exists as we know it. we just blew it up in P.O.D. - David Morales Grade averages were available when students were worried about their grades. Ms. Orpha Lessly reassured Mark Hay. Past errors make better futures if istory is the story of real peo- ple, said Mr. Larry Foreman, and their attempts to im- prove their lives. lt's like a big adventure story. History students studied not only the past, but present situations as well. Problems of democracy class studied current issues, world relations and for- eign policy. High school students became leaders of their own countries, trying to keep world peace among unfriendly nations and traitorous allies. 'fl'm sorry to report, said David Mo- rales, that the world no longer exists as we know it. We just blew it up in P.O.D. American history students studied major wars as well as the industrial age and the Reconstruction period. There --'ere also discussions of current events interspersed throughout the year. World history encompassed prehis- toric life, Greek and Roman civiliza- tions, European and Asian history, and America's past. Discussion was fre- quent and sometimes heated. There's a lot of debating about dif- ferent points in history, like evolution, said Matthew Hawley, and I like argu- ing. It also makes history interesting be- cause we don't always study out of the book. Past events often helped students better grasp the present and the future. My history class helps me appreci- ate what I have, said Lisa Nelson, rather than taking it for granted all the time. If I ever want to travel, said Robin Reed, I'll know all about the ways of life around the world, about their peo- ple and governments. Teachers also felt that learning the past was vital to understand the pre- sent. To paraphrase Winston ChurchiIl, said Mrs. Orpha Lessly, we need to read history so we can profit by the mistakes - none of us have time to make all of the mistakes for ourselves, and history does repeat itself. w 1x,,m I 88 History Xm...f ,,..v- 'Why DURING EARLY EXPLORATION AND R World simulation gave problems of democracy students experience with foreign policy.

In order to graduate, many colleges are now re- quiring six hours of foreign language, especially in the arts and sciences de- partment, said counselor Hope Guf- fey. Students needed the knowledge of foreign language to communicate with people in foreign countries. In foreign language, you learn about people from l many different countries and it could come in handy if you ever meet any of those people from different coun- tries, said junior Rick Kint. French, German, Latin, and Spanish were the languages available to stu- dents. Another reason for taking a for- l eign language was for general knowl- edge. l think studying a foreign lan- guage helps a person to better under- stand his own language, said Spanish teacher Mr. Winford Akins. Anyone who was interested in travel needed some experience with foreign lan- guage. I know how important a sec- ond language is because English is my second language, said German teach- er Mrs. lllona Morris, who was born and raised in Germany. Foreign language enabled students to get to know the traditions and be- liefs of other countries. junior Stacy McCowan said, I took a foreign lan- guage because many colleges require it and it gives you a chance to learn more about a country's culture.

Much rehearsal and character study helped make these struggles remark- ably real. Students spent hours rehears- ing their parts and preparing their ma- terial for competition. We have been known to stay up here until ten o'clock or later prepar- ing and rehearsing, said Cherita Ore. Time was a major factor in a drama student's life. ln some cases, it could be his worst enemy. When a piece of ma- terial was 12 minutes long and contest time limit was 10 minutes, panic-strick- en students cut sentences to make the time limit. ln class, said Gaye Coffman, we spend most of our time picking out parts of plays, cutting them to time, and then blocking, or planning movements for them. All of this is followed by hours and hours of rehearsing. l've spent 80-120 hours preparing my humorous interpretation, said jim Evans. Students who expanded their class- work went to weekend contests. What I like best about overnight tournaments, said Allen Parsons, is you can get out of town, get away from your problems, and concentrate on I 94 Drama giving the best performance you can. For students who like the competi- tiveness of contests but liked just one character, the drama department en- tered the one-act play competition with The Diviners. The production placed first, the third consecutive win for the department. Two cast members, Tim Carver and Al- len Parsons, were nominated to all- state cast. Since contests weren't well attended by students, the department produced several plays for the enjoyment of the student body. Runaways was produced in September. The first plays are usually the hard ones because yo'u're not ready for the summer to be over, said jim Evans. Fiddler on the Roof was presented in December, the most involved, largest- cast show in the department's history. I felt so good that the audience loved Tevye as much as l did, said Steve McLellan about his character. ln addition to these shows, a chil- dren's theater troupe called the Mad- cap Players performed for children throughout the year. The best thing about the drama de- partment, said Coffman, is the plays, the experience of being on stage, and giving the people what they enjoy. i 2 9 l Organization plays a key role in success at con tests. lim Evans gathers his contest material.

Skill of communication stressed To have the best debate squad in Oklahoma, and ultimately the nation was the goal of Mrs. Glenda Ferguson, speech and debate teacher. Fund-raisers such as candy sales and selling of tickets for a drawing funded out-of-state tournaments such as the jefferson forensics contest in San Anto- nio, the U. T. A. competition in Arling- ton, Texas, and the Emory University contest in Atlanta, Georgia. Debate has more advantages than just being able to travel, said David Rowe. lt also teaches fundamental skills of communication and logic that are necessary in almost every aspect of life. ln conjunction with the drama de- partment, the debate squad hosted their own tournament. More than 650 contestants from all over the state par- ticipated, providing the most revenue of any fund-raiser. Ferguson coached debate and speech for five years and said she wouldn't go back to anything else. Ferguson said, Debate gives you a feeling of self-confidence, speaking skills, and gives you a chance to travel, it basically teaches you how to win and how to lose.

Involvement in the communi- ty, as well as school, took the time of art students as they entered art festivals, displays and contests. Distinct styles were noticed as stu- dents practiced their skills. Deserving credit where credit was due, Mr. Nick Kyle's classes created an atmosphere in which students could pursue art as a career. Young Talent was one of the many contests entered in art. There were 150 participants with 1200 entries. Three of the entries were from Putnam City. Gregg Wade entered a painting, jimmy With persistence, Kerry Marshall worked the clay until it was pliable, then used it for her crafts class project. Browning entered with a pen and ink drawing and Chris Brackett with a large paper sculptured guitar. I made a pa- per sculpture copy of a Gibson Les Paul guitar, said Chris. l worked about three weeks on the project. We have many students in this class who have sold their art. Infact, it almost doesn't seem so important because there are so many. said Kyle. Mental exercises expanded the stu- dents' creativity as bigger and better projects were undertaken. Crafts classes worked on woodcarv- ing, pottery, weaving, and jewelry. They attended the Young Talent com- petition and a contest hosted by Cen- tral State University. Final touch-ups were made to a Confederate flag painted by Kevin Clouse and Robert Stavinoha. glib' R gf !VwX I100 Art I .. ,M my Individual tastes were shown through art pro- jects.

Breakfast foods and vegetables dishes were also studied. We teach all the basics of good cooking in Foods I - basic rules that will help them later, said Mrs. Betty Strickland. Advanced students took advantage of Foods ll and became familiar with foreign cooking, cake decorating and cooking for formal dinners. They learned the fundamentals of baking dif- ferent kinds of bread. They also learned how to freeze their foods for later use. 1 . ,A A N i s... .-. . when--., Potential problems with raising children were brought to light in child care classes.

S 3 Point-motivated staffs face deadlines A big advantage of being on either of the publication staffs, said Lisa Hensley, editor of the Treasure Chest, is that kids working on the newspaper or yearbook learn more than other stu- dents do about the school as a whole. When a staff member is assigned a department to cover in the yearbook or a beat on the newspaper, the report- er researches and interviews to learn all that is possible about the subject. For example, just visiting the art rooms, in- terviewing the teachers and looking at class projects is a good experience. With nearly 30 staff members on each publication, two significant things were shared by the two groups. New adviser, Ms. Donna Glass, was remem- bered by upperclassmen as having done her student teaching here three years ago. On the more unpleasant side, the two staffs lived with the ever-present dread of deadlines. Sometimes the pressure closed in, and nervous staffers dealt with their feelings in different ways. Pointing out that improvements were made in the staffs' performance the second semester, Lisa explained the new grading system Ms. Glass intro- duced. Grade points were allotted for gathering information for newspaper or yearbook stories, drawing layouts, taking pictures, writing captions, copy, headlines and performing other jobs essential for publication production. Final grades were based on curve averages. For the first time the theme of the Treasure Chest was announced early to help promote sales during the fall cam- paign. Package plans, including both yearbook and newspaper, were sold for S25 by both staffs during Septem- ber. The Pirate Log, whose name was shortened to The Log, featured new design techniques and use of graphic accents, resulting in a more C0ntempO- rary look. We think this year's papers, said Bill Forster, editor, were improved by more attention to coverage, innovative layout design and more entertainment features, such as record reviews and movie previews.

In the past, schools were at liberty to select their own pieces of music, in- stead, the contest published a list from which to choose. We're preparing something not on the list, and we have to petition the contest for permission, said Shryock. ln some ways it's good because it keeps a band from playing really easy music. This list sometimes meant repetition of earlier music, but Shryock said, lt's never the same because you've got a completely new group of people. No- body will play the music exactly the same way. Contest work takes a lot of time and individual practice. But if you've worked on something and someone believes it's good, it gives you a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment. - LuAnn Shryock Band: front row- Luann Shryock, Trisha Newman. second row- Raye Ross, Pat Sinkankas, Roger Burke Kirk Killion, Diane Harkey, james Webb, lon Cary, Paul Eads, Aaron Shipp, Sammy Ayatt, Wick Boyd, Vicki Brewer. third row- Kelly Mogridge, Dyan Wenthold, Sherry Franz, Wendy Phillips, jerri Gilmore, Denise Buschman, Russell Maclean, Shelly Zarsen. fourth row- Perry Gilfillan, Laura Lance, Katheryn Kline, Signe Thompson, Kathy Stephen, Holly Sparlin, Stacy Rollman, Darla Fielding, Richard Salamy, Mike Murphy. fifth row- Leah Eiseman, Wendi jones, Mandi Guy, layne Coleman, lenifer Martin, Christina Simms, Chris Lewis, Chris Akers, Leisa Wert, Gina Gaskin. sixth row- Robert Bruce, Mike Taylor, Micheal Myers, Brian Anderson, Barcy Blake, Doug Clark. seventh row- Lynn McVay, Charo- lette Drabek, Mischa Fields, Shaun Humphrey, Ioe Smith, leff Tyner, Kevin Wells, lay Hawkins, Bill Goodier, Irene Elshimer, Mathew Brady, Amy Dickson. eighth row- Rich Monier, Mark Offill, Scott Eakins, Heath Bilhouse, Scott Lunsferd, Cheryl Kline, Matt Harris, Greg Yearout, Dan Clark, Doug Zanstra. nineth row-Tommy Horsley, Tim Tashjian, jeff Duff.

I think the students enjoy orchestra because it's an opportunity to play music and create something by working togeth- er, Taylor said. Orchestra met during third hour, but in order to meet desired goals, it also was necessary to practice before school. Our goals were to increase difficulty level of our music, increase music pro- ficiency with a large group of students and increase quality of performances, but to accomplish this we have to work hard. Sometimes that means time be- fore school as well as our regularly scheduled classtime, said Taylor.

Also made available was the Datatimes Service, an informa- tion source from the Oklahoman and Times. Students were able to search for college and vocational information and obtain computer printouts of newspa- per stories on a variety of subjects. One thousand twenty volumes were added to the media center collection, bringing the total to nearly 25,000 vol- umes. Classes came to the library to sharpen their research skills with in-depth in- vestigations, library-sponsored trivia contests, college and career searches and reading contests. In the audio-visual department, the new lighting computer and sound sys- tem got real workouts. Two ambitious productions with a multitude of light- ing cues pained the system's Mini Pal- let, but beautiful effects were pro- duced using these facilities. Our system is second only to the University of Oklahoma, said Mr. Dick Lovelady, director. Several tours showing off the new equipment were conducted by the de- partment. School boards interested in updating their own facilities visited the media center. Through Title ll funds, a computer programmer and controller were pur- chased, giving students the opportuni- ty to produce multi-media programs. With cable run to 22 rooms, all courses were able to view video tapes and educational programming. A new portable sound system pro- vided sound for any activity in both gyms, the stadium, and even for perfor- mances outside school.

Three different classes made up in- dustrial arts. These classes were wood- shop, metalshop, and mechanical drawing. Mr. Bill Snelson taught wood- shop while Mr. Wendall Miles con- trolled the mechanical drawing and metalshop classes. Woodshop handled most of the moneymaking projects such as key- chains, chopping blocks, and wooden, name-engraved hearts. Snelson, the woodshop instructor, has been teaching for nine years. Students were allowed to build any- thing that they could afford as long as Help was offered to Trey Collins from Mr. Bryant Gasset, workshop student teacher, as Mike Sin- kankas finished his own work. it was legal, said Snelson. Woodshop classes concentrated on furniture con- struction. Miles, the teacher of metalshop and mechanical drawing, taught for twenty- four years. Metalshop students con- structed wrought-iron objects which ranged from tables to boot jacks. The students were assigned and required to make address-markers. Mechanical drawing grades were based on assignments ranging from sectional to pictorial drawings. Said Miles, Mechanical drawing leads to designing and planning machines and buildings. Industrial arts was enjoyed by both students and teachers. Steve Stone said, I like the satisfaction of making things. Careful handling and usage of a jointer was taught in Industrial Arts, and demonstrated by Mike Smith.

Driving skill,coordination pursued First experiences behind the wheel of a car could be a frightening thought without the aid of driver's education. Bookwork covered driving regulations and various steps to changing lanes, parking or highway driving. With a combination of driving simulation and actual behind-the-wheel practice, Mr. lack Pebworth and Mr. Rod Wisley in- structed students in safe, legal driving tactics. Even with a driver's license, students sometimes took driver's ed. to lower their insurance rates. These students were confident of their driving abilities, but still they gained knowledge from textbook assignments. When driver's ed. was completed, students took a computerized test to receive their learner's permit. Finally, they took a road test with a police offi- cer in an attempt to get their license. For students who weren't enrolled in activities, physical education was a nec- essary part of their schoolwork. Stu- dents played floor hockey, pickleball volleyball and basketball to develop co- ordination and team play. We teach leisure-time activities,' said Mr. Don Wentroth, that can be enjoyed even as students get older. Girls who enrolled in body mechan- ics developed strength on weight ma- chines, did exercises, and played vol- leyball, whiffleball, table tennis anc badminton. I took body mechanics, said Amy Hudson, because I knew I had to ge in shape for track season, and thi seemed like a good way. S, if .. 2. t 7 wi A bib..

Nurse's aides took temperatures, su- pervised patient forms and dressed wounds to assist Mrs. Virginia Frost, school nurse. In the counselors' office, students took notes to teachers and filed docu- ments, schedules and forms. Records of attendance were kept by attendance office aides. They roamed the entire school picking up attendance slips. lt's really embarassing to walk into a classroom and have everybody laugh at you, said Missy Harkey. Knowledge of projectors and other audio-visual equipment made AV aides invaluable to both teachers and Mr. Dick Lovelady, audio-visual director. These aides were often responsible for operation of projectors and mainten- ance of equipment. Secretaries' jobs included taking messages. Lisa Robertson jotted down a phone message in the Counselors Office. 66 like to do things in the office, but I think we should get credit for the work we do. - Kim Lamb 99 j I 1 I120 Aides .

The goal of the program is to expose the student to the real world of work and for them to learn job skills through the cooperation of the em- ployer, said Mrs. Mary jane Ridgway, work study teacher. Students received credit for their work study program, but grades were basically given by the employer. Ridg- way talked with the employer, who ob- served the student on the job. Some students worked in day care centers, restaurants, cafeterias, as grounds and maintenance workers, and as teachers aides in elementary schools. Those who were not commercially employed attended Francis Tuttle Vo- Tech school and were in grounds and Office employment gave Mary Helen Taylor the chance to obtain work experience. maintenance classes and commercial home service class. Fifteen students participated in the work study program. Four students went to vo-tech and 11 were em- ployed. Class time was spent studying busi- ness math, salesmanship, retail terms, and operation of business machines. Students often visited the library to re- search careers before deciding on a lifelong field of study. Experience gained at work gave the students independence and confi- dence. This made their work exper- iences important to them. I had tonsilitis, and that wasn't any fun because l missed a lot of work, said Melissa Blankenship. Kitchen clean-up was a daily duty for Kevin Kin- cheloe at his job.

Even with 10+ years of experience behind them, the counselors found that the workload was enormous and the hectic schedule exhausting. The way I cope, said Mrs. Mary Ellen lrwin, is to just keep thinking - just do one thing at a time and do the best l can every single day. Computers aided the counselor's of- fice in their quest for the perfect schedule. The schedule of classes that would please everyone was a difficult job to handle. Secretaries in the counselor's office proved to be the greatest jugglers of all. Mrs. Donna Russum and Mrs. Karen Smith shuffled the complaints, sched- ule changes, and requests for appoint- ments into an eight-hour day. l don't think we could survive with- out the secretaries, said Mrs. Hope Guffey. If liking one's work is what counted, then the counselors certainly stayed on top of things.

Pictures, class rings and senior announcements reminded them of the year they ruled the school. 128-Seniors They call it commencement - a beginning onfusion was a big part of the lives of many seniors. This year brought a sudden realization that there was another world beyond high school. College was suddenly a major issue, and students began submitting applications as early as October. Scott Steven- son said, l'm going to college at OSU. My major will probably be engineering. Not everyone was as sure of their future plans, but most seniors did know that it was time to move on. Missy Stone said, Twelve years is enough, I'm ready for college life! Still, there were, as always, mixed feelings about leaving a place where they had spent so much time. Some seniors seemed to miss Piratehood even when they were still Pirates. Senior Nancy Morrison said, Twelve years! lt's certainly gone by much faster than I ever expected it would. David Rowe said, Being a senior has been wicked! lt's been this awesome sense of responsibility to my school and my future. At the beginning of the year, class president David johnson said, The seniors are out to win it all. They may not have done exactly that, but they certainly held their own during the year. The push to get out and explode on the world versus the pull to hold onto their high school years made the senior class full of fierce pride - both in their school and in themselves. All year long seniors had chances to prove that they had Pirate Pride. Kelley Mogridge spent long hours with other seniors decorating the float for the Homecoming festivities.

V IELNAM llllllllflll FLED HY 'EBAY Her name to most Americans is Lynn Tran, in Vietnam, her name is Hue Ngoc Tran. She's the oldest of five brothers and one sister. ln 1979, her family stole away from Vietnam in the dead of night, in an al- most indescribably shaky boat. They sailed to a refugee camp in Indonesia, where they stayed for a year and a half. It took the boat 15 days to get to that refugee camp. On the way to lndone- sia, the boat overturned and everything of value was stolen after only three days. The remaining twelve days were spent with no food, no water, but plen- ty of killing. Lynn stresses, Don't take advantage of your freedom, because when you look again, it won't be there. Much has happened to Lynn since 1979. She has worked at McDonald's for more than three years. I write to my relatives in Vietnam, but they can only write 'simply', she said. They cannot write about the way they are treated, for any slander of the Viet- namese government is illegal and they can be thrown into prison. Lynn had to deal with many things during her escape to the United States. She coped with destruction and corruption in every form. She still stresses the point, Don't take it for granted.

Presently a senior, she has been a member of drill team for three years and the drill team captain for two years. This past sum- mer Kathy attended two clinics for Putnam City's drill team - one in Los Angeles which was for drill team officers only and another at Oklaho- ma University which was for the en- tire squad. During her stay in Los An- geles, Kathy was chosen as one of the three nominees out of ninety different girls for the Top of the World Girl title. For the competi- tion, she was required to give a speech, to model, and to perform her original routine in front of the camp. After this was completed, the rest of the girls voted for the one they liked the best and Kathy re- ceived second place. Kay Crawford, who founded the first drill team squad in Texas, now lives in California and runs the clinic Kathy attended. Kathy was asked by Mrs. Crawford to represent the State of Oklahoma in the Miss Drill Team U.S.A. pagent held in Los Angeles during February. In May, Kathy attended Thunder- hawk drill team clinic which is held at Oklahoma University. Twenty out of four hundred nominees were picked to become one of the four superstar girls at the clinic. Kathy and co-drill team member, Stacy johnson, were nominated. Kathy was voted to be one of the four su- perstar girls. These girls later went to Hawaii from December 19 through january 2 to march in the Aloha Bowl.

Boerner does so at no charge. 1.D. loves scuba-diving, which he began learning about three years ago. A friend of mine had been tak- ing diving lessons, and l decided to check in on it. The six-week session cost S150 for both lessons and equipment. They teach you everything from putting on your mask and snorkel to drinking a bottle of Coke or eating a banana, j.D. said. It's easy once you get the hang of it, he continued. Of course, you need tanks to drink or eat. In order to dive legally, a person has to have a TIC lTotal information Card? as well as a diver's license. The TIC card has the diver's name print- ed across the face and a micro-com- puter chip inthe upper right corner. This chip contains all the informa- tion authorities would need in case of an emergency. Above all, LD. said, the most important thing for a diver to learn is that underwater, he's in a different world.

David Kelley supplies a few of his favor- ites, David Kelley turns to cans after 21 beer law passed With the new 21-legislation, beer certainly became a heated topic of conversation for those nearing 18 years old. David Kelley, however, chose to concentrate on the containers. Kelley began collecting beer cans when a friend took him to a flea market and he bought a Billy Carter can. At the time, I spent a dollar on it, Kelley said, but now it's worth much more than that. Kelley now frequents antique shops and flea markets in the hopes of finding new cans to beef up his collection. There are thousands of different cans, said David, The first ones that came out were made of steel and had coneshaped rims. Those are really rare. Kelley certainly isn't alone in his col- lecting. Beer can collecting became so popular that collectors established a monthly magazine, a summer conven- tion, and a Miss Beer Can pageant. Sometimes, the enormous amount of money he spent made Kelley have sec- ond thoughts. I've gotten bored a few times, said Kelley. When I think about the time and money I spent on this, I think 'why?'

McKinney began hunting rattlesnakes last year, when she and her brother were looking for something to do. lt was just something we decided would be fun, McKinney said. Small towns such as Okeene and Mangum hold annual hunts, with the entire community preparing for the event. You should see it, Denise said. They close roads and stuff. They don't care if it's the interstate, they close it anyway. Weapons for snake-hunters are poles with loops on the end. They cost about 530. Denise said that hunters find many uses for the snakes they catch. l usually make hat-bands out of them. Some people that I know make wallets and belts, too. They even deep-fry the meat, she continued. It tastes like a combination of chicken and rabbit. Snake-hunting may be terrifying to some people but Denise said that it is not quite as dangerous as people might think People have this stereotype of snakes, McKinney said. They're really shy creatures. They'll warn you be- fore they do anything. After the initial capture, it is up to the hunter to clean and skin the snake. Denise McKinney displays the finished skins.

You're strapped into a parachute with a life preserver and attached by a rope to a motorboat. The boat stays in the water and goes 20 miles an hour, while you're in the air, going ninety miles an hour - mentally. According to some people, it's fun. According to me, it's terrifying. On the fourth day of our family vaca- tion, we were on the beach on a clear sunny day. My father had mentioned earlier that we might go parasailing. I dismissed it as temporary insanity. My brother, however, had taken his words as Gospel and couldn't stop talk- ing about how we were going para- sailing. After 15 minutes of his chatter- ing, my father called us out of the water to tell us that we were indeed going parasailing. Right now, in fact. Before I could say, Sure. You're kid- ding, right? I was whisked away in this little boat onto a platform for taking off and landing. When my stepbrother took off, I thought, lf he can do it, surely I can. He's twelve! By the time he landed, I had talked myself into going up. I had a life preserver on, supposedly to insure that I wouldn't drown. Two men strapped me to the parachute. When I heard the boat start, I was sup- posed to start walking - straight off the platform. Easy enough. I took one step and WHOOSH! I was in mid-air. I almost went limp as every- thing got smaller and smaller until it was almost unreal. Panic gripped me. WHAT was I doing up here? I started laughing uncontrollably and hyperven- tilating - well, it wasn't exactly hyper- ventilating, just very, very, very ,fast breating, but it was close enough. I started talking to myself. I don't re- member exactly what l said, but I think it was something to the effect of this is the way the bionic woman died. lt's amazing what you remember when you're half-crazy. Finally, the landing platform came into view. It looked eight inches long and four inches wide. I was supposed to land on that. Sure. Whatever you say. My father and brother came into view. They were smiling! How dare they smile! I was suffering brain dam- age. I would never be the same. I landed with a hard thump, which was the most beautiful sound in the world. I was on solid ground. It was wonderful. My father just smiled and said, You must have loved it. I shot him a look that would have melted an iceberg and snapped, You get to pay for my psychiatrist. - Mark Englehart M2211 f '4tg WP 'vi 'Si 'E wr 'f X.

Kristen Phillips is a member of the Oklahoma City American Legion Kiltie Band, a small group of girls from all over the Oklahoma City and Midwest City area. Ages of the girls range from 10 years old to college age. Kristen has been a band member for two years. I heard about the band from my grandfather, said Kris- ten. We don't get bored because every year we all switch instruments. This year Kristen played the 'after-time horn.' Practices occurred once a week. Every year the band plays at the Remembrance of Pearl Harbor Day at Shepherd Mall. A yearly performance at the Czech Festival also highlights the Kiltie's year. Kristen's favorite aspect of the Kiltie band is the annual goodwill tour for the Chamber of Commerce to small towns in the state. I love performing for little kids, Kristen said. lt's neat to see those great big eyes and hear them say, 'what's that? In order to look uniform, band members all assume the same stance.

Kenny and his father spent hours working on the truck at his father's construction site. We started about two weeks into the summer, Crail said, and we fin- ished the night before orientation day. Costs rose as the makeover pro- gressed with the grand total reach- ing 51800. l had to work for a while and save the money, said Crail. It was a pretty hefty price tag for a hobby, but Kenny and his father tried to stay organized to keep costs down. First we stripped the car, Crail said. Then we made a list of every- thing we wanted to do. Blue paint and a new truck bed were among changes made in the truck's appearance. Kenny used body filler to fill in the chipped or- ange paint job, then sanded and primed it before repainting. After finishing his own vehicle, Kenny tackled a few more cars with friends, but had no serious plans for the future. I don't know about careers or anything, Crail said. l just like cars. I bought this truck and I wasn't hap- py with it the way it was, sol decided to rebuild.

Valerie Rob- bins has been a volunteer at Mercy Health Center for two years. Her du- ties are mainly concerned with pa- tient comfort - arranging beds, de- livering mail and flowers and inquir- ing about patient needs. We mainly work with the happy side of patient care, said Robbins. That's nice because we don't have to deal with too much of the sick- ness. Valerie has over 300 hours to her credit - a pretty large accomplish- ment for a volunteer. I really enjoy working at Mercy, Valerie said. It's great for kids who can't get jobs for one reason or an- other but still want to get out and do something. Also, they let you work when you want, she continued. I can call and say, 'I can work five hours this week' and they'll let me. Part of a hospital volunteer's duties is to escort patients to and from treatments. Valerie Robbins folds a wheelchair after using it. Matchbook Collection begun by rivalry Sibling rivalry can prompt some- one to do something noteworthy to 'one-up' his brother or sister. john Harris admitted this was the reason he began to collect matchbooks. My brother collected them when I was little, Harris said, and I was jealous so I started to collect too.

But if I didn't I wouldn't be anything at all. Paris boasts thirty-one years of in- volvement in Putnam City sports, in- cluding 15 years as athletic director. l am the only woman athletic direc- tor in the state, Paris said, yet I'm still treated as an equal. Other coaches and directors have accepted me. This acceptance aided Paris in her duties in dealing with other athletic di- rectors. Balancing the schedule is the hardest part, said Paris. The main job is trying to arrange the games so they don't coincide with other events. In addition to scheduling sporting events, Paris busied herself in activities such as teaching a body mechanics class, selling tickets to home games, and running the concession stand ev- ery day after school. She also attended every game. I didn't coach this year, said Paris, I don't think my schedule would have allowed it. Paris said that a love for sports and physical fitness in general kept her going when the schedules conflicted and things were not going too well. N Even though it is tough at times, i Paris said, I wouldn't trade this job for anything. Scorebooks were updated weekly by coaches and reviewed by Ms. Ivine Paris.

Past And Present Show Turkey's Cultural Contrasts Everything you took over you had to bring back to account for your taxes. I heard a story about a couple whose dog died while they were in Turkey and to leave the country they had to put the dog on ice to show the tax collectors so they would not be exces- sively taxed. Ivan johnson said about his journey to Turkey. He served a total of four and a half years in Turkey, where he lived on the American Air Force base and worked as a meteorologist. He felt his life in Turkey was interest- ing in all aspects. At the end of the day, peddlers who had been selling their goods in the market would come by the house and ask you to buy their goods - even if you didn't want it, they would ask you to name a price. Say he had a pot that would normally sell for 51.755 the peddler would sell it to you for 256. Turkey is an interesting place to see because of the contrast between the modern and the cultural and older sights. said johnson.

Because of his weekend employment in addition to teaching, Roach does not have much free time, his only leisure hours being weekday evenings. lf I had more time, said Roach, I'd spend it skiing in Colorado, writin, programs for my computer, and seein, my family.

Q-eww Creative Projects Win Kyle Award Not only did Mr. Nick Kyle love to teach art, but his students loved to take it. It is no small thing to receive more than 35 nominations for teacher of the year. Much of Kyle's success lay in his in- novative teaching techniques. To help his students think in terms of spatial relationships, he led the students in ex- ercises using the right side of the brain. forts. Mr. Robert Butler, principal, said, His students are much better pre- pared than students from other schools. Kyle didn't originally plan to teach.

The boxes were con- nected, then sound effects, light ef- fects, and music were added. The stu- dents then crawled through the differ- ent environments, recording their re- sponses to each one. These techniques were apparently successful, and the administration sup- ported Kyle wholeheartedly in his ef- sense of accomplishment. Outside of school, Kyle and his wife owned and operated The Studio, a graphic arts business. They had national as well as local customers and contin- ually expanded their clientele.

School sportsmen and sportswomen were inspired and motivated by the win- ning traditions of PC's 28 seasons of com- petition in sports. Our heritage, said Kris Karns, was a constant reminder of what we had to mea- sure up to. When we had problems, and things got rough, we could always look at the pennants on the gym wall and get our- selves together. This year, like all other years, there were many changes in the sports programs. All new coaches took over boys' basketball teams, and wrestling filled all weight posi- tions for the first time in three years. Friendship, rivalry, sportsmanship, rec- ognition, teamwork - athletes found these experiences worthwhile, in spite of the long hours of practice and personal sacri- fices required to reach their goals. Concentration made the difference between a clean dive and a shabby one. Lisa Black prepared to jump. Crapplers struggled to keep their holds during a match. Ronnie Smith got the best of his opponent. Sports Division had 4 W 5 z 9' Injuries played a part in all sports but athletes felt the pride was worth the pain. Kris Karns separated his shoulder during the Altus game. Pride surged every time the football players ran through the hoop to open the game.

Thirteen interceptions were tallied by the secondary, with Kris Karns grabbing seven of the 13. Other outstanding performances were marked by seniors Brento Vann and Doug Robison. Tailback Vann rushed for more than 1300 yards, and Robison, a punter, averaged more than 44 yards a kick. The season's biggest disappoint- ment was a heart-breaking loss to the then undefeated Midwest City Bombers. The game ended with the ball on MWC's four-yard line. Our team effort was outstand- ing, said Coach lack Pebworth, and the close statistics of the game were an indication of our perfor- mance. We were champions in one re- spect, said Bill Forster. We won every single coin toss, right through playoffs. One game that will be long re- membered by P.C. cheerleaders was the Altus game, which was sparsely attended by school fans because of the 150-mile distance. ln a crucial play of the game, an Altus player tackling Brento Vann accidentally toppled a pyramid of cheerleaders on the sidelines. Ardeth Snell was taken from the field in an ambulance and treated at an Altus hospital for a neck injury. David johnson, co-captain for the Putnam City North game, summed up the feelings of his teammates in the pep assembly. Even if we don't win this game, it will all have been worthwhile. A V ,,..

Anticipation showed on Scott Stevenson's face as he stood on the sidelines, waiting for his turn to play. Another Pirate touchdown was scored by Brento Vann as he raced around his opponent. Athletes show more than MUSCLE Some traditions were worth preserv- ing, but the outdated practice of label- ing athletes dumb jocks wasn't one of them. Most athletes had already demon- strated their mental abilities simply by competing in their respective sport. Handling the strategies and complex- ities of football or completely on the opponent with the crowd a foot away proved that athletes were made of more than muscle. Doug Robison, a Pirate football kicker, received eight scholarship offers, including one to Stanford Uni- versity. Robison carried a 3.6 grade point average and was a nominee to the All State team. He believed there would not have been as many offers had his grade point been lower. Support from coaches made aca- demic success possible for athletes.

Cantrell was crowned homecoming queen after a week-long celebration of Pirate might-Power week. Punk Day was just the beginning. Students decked out in sunglasses, headbands,and leatherclothes or mini- skirts to show that they were unified in their spirit. Diana Katilus said, Punk Day went on to prove there's a little punk in everybody. On Orange and Black day, Dennis Clark painted his face orange and black, proving that some people would even bend rules to lend all-out support to the team in Friday's game. ilds momentum, Closets were ransacked Tuesday night for Wednesday's Wacky Day. jimmy Webb said, Wacky Day was great. lt's a day that you can dress up like Brent Walton and not have to wor- ry about it. Poor teddy bears! Thursday brought Eliminate the Bears Day and the slaughter began. Headless bears and stuffing were everywhere. Rally day put the 'R' in Power Week. Every Pirate button, banner, and ban- dana was used to generate spirit during the pep assembly and afternoon pa- rade, where the junior Class float took first place in competition. Momentum built all day long, until finally the stadium began to fill for the game against john Marshall. Since the Cantrell crowned Pirates took a 27-0 lead early in the first half, halftime was eagerly anticipated, particularly by queen candidates Mary Shannon, Cathie Bonifield, and jill Can- trell. Cantrell was crowned queen with Doug Robinson as king. Other escorts were Brento Vann and Tommy Cup- ples. Private victory made homecoming even more exciting, and the gym rocked with a post-game dance to celebrate. Cans of spray paint and six cases of napkins were necessary to make the senior float come alive. David Rowe did his share to create the Pirate float. Sideline spectators were soon queen candidates as Cathie Bonifield, Mary Shannon and jill Can- trell anticipated the coronation. 182 Homecoming sl if ll I :sl Lv x f s im' 1 Chicken wire provided the base for most floats. jamie Plouff and Gil Gentry fasten the wire to a wooden frame, as David Rowe and Katie Blair take a break from their work.

West john Marshall Del City Midwest City Southeast 184 IV Football Yards gained from returns, still, season disappointing Since the nucleus of the JV squad was composed of former Central junior High students, who had achieved out- standing success last year, their 4-5 re- cord was disappointing. Three of our five losses, said David Morrison, could have gone either way. We lost to U.S. Grant two points in overtime, and we were completing strong drives in the Edmond and Del City games when time ran out. Morrison and Trent Telford shared quarterback duties. Telford threw a 45- yard bomb to wide receiver Kirk Pueppke for the lone score in the Ed- mond game. One of the strongest aspects of the Perserverance made the defense hang on to their opponents. Pat lorski sacked the ball- carrier. squad was returning kickoffs for long yardage. In the Southeast game Morri- son returned a kickoff at the beginning of the second half for 75 yards and a touchdown. Also, Scott Culver took the opening kickoff for an 80-yard TD in the john Marshall game. A conversion kick by Scott English added to PC's scores. The team's most effective play was the tailback pass that was completed seven of eight times, six of which were to Lance Boyd from Morrison and one from Mark Hay to Morrison. This team has a lot of fire and spirit, said Pueppke. We will be a team to watch by the time we are seniors. We should have a shot at state in '86! Quarterback David Morrison prepared to get rid of the ball as Mike Hale blocked the nearest Patriot. IV Football T85 lnjuries hamper Cross Country Teams' hopes With three state pennants to PC's credit, a record number of 35 runners reported for cross country competi- tion to aim for a fourth championship. To me, it's more important to get in shape for Mid-State and Regionals than to win individual meets, said Coach Dorman Griffin. Griffin recruited by talking to lots of students and trying to get them in- terestedf' He cited the talent of senior Denise Buschman. Denise is so good, said Griffin, because she trains year 'round. I think that's important. A major setback for the Pirates was the injury of Kathleen Morton, who was sidelined the last half of the sea- son with shin splints. Freddy Harth missed three weeks because of illness. Griffin's high hopes for the season were bolstered by the team's perfor- mance at the Putnam City West meet. At that time, he felt he had as many as 'I1 runners competent enough to compete at State. Out of 88 runners in the State Meet, Denise came in 21st and Wendy Gammon, sophomore, came in 55th. Griffin's practices required the eight female team members to run three and a half miles and the 27 males to run six miles. Charmon Taylor, sophomore, agreed that daily running was essen- tial. She said, lt's hard work, but it makes you feel good. Coach and athlete relationships are very important to develop spirit and enthusiasm. Coach Dorman Griffin urges Denise Buschman on to the finish line. Pushing for the lead, David Freeman surpasses all the others. Approaching the finish line, Mike Price strides to victory. hits mi K 4 11 Q if Rf' 5 xi! N X ,R X X .xx 5 SH f sr , f' Nj 9 www- K ' wi.

Even when temperatures reached more than 100 degrees, softballers ran bases, polished hitting skills - anything to make the softball season as success- ful as it could be. lt was so hard to get out in that kind of heat and practice every day, said Sharlene Huckabay, junior. Their determination paid off not only in the scoreboards, but also in the way the team functioned as a unit. They brought new meaning to the word team. Huckabay said, There weren't really any best hitters. Everyone had their good days as well as bad ones. After winning their first game of the District playoff against El Reno, they challenged Putnam City West. The al- ready tough game was made even harder to play by the size of the Patriot rooting section. I think we played really well against West, said Carrie Wofford. They had a lot of people to support them, so it was a hard game to play. Coach Rod Wisley said he placed emphasis on improving the game for each team member. We worked a lot on individual progress, Wisley said. For many of the girls, this technique paid off. Lisa Windle hit over 500, and Sharlene Huckabay led the team in home runs. Determination helped the junior var- sity team have a phenomenal season, losing only one game out of 11. They hit really well, said Wisley. That was evident by their scores. Hopes for next season were soaring at the close of this season. The girls really started to come around at the end of the season, said Wisley. They should be really good next year. . . 1 ti fi mmf , 'pt YL VM 1 Q K AEM 4 . , N A, , P -if sb . . 4-5 X N .

Overtime work pays off for With an overtime score of 50-49, the Pirates were victorious at the Koch classic tourna- ment. With the trophy were Tim Bolton, Eric Short, Charles Hubbard, Brian Jamison, Ken Anderson, Chris Ward and Pete Papahronis. varsity Photo-finishes were the main event during a basketball season that left spectators with ulcers and nervous conditions. More than five overtime decisions marked seasonal play, as the cardiac kids worked their way within five points of the opposing team and stayed there throughout the fourth quarter. With few exceptions, this technique usually paid off, the Pirate team sport- ing a win-loss record of 18-4. New coach A. D. Burtschi had seven years' experience at St. Mary's prior to his work with the Pirates. He arrived in time to get the ballplayers into shape using a three-phase program. Pre-season training consisted of 105 miles run by October - 15 miles for each letter in the word Pirate. Phase two of the plan developed strength us- ing exercises to strengthen legs and arms. Fifteen one-minute basketball drills completed the program. l expect 1000!0 from my team, said Coach Burtschi. l encouraged them to be overachievers and be the best they could ever be, under any circum- stances. Burtschi focused on discipline to de- velop individual talent as well as team unity. Players who ran extra bleachers knew how serious Burtschi was about discipline. Burtschi stressed, Discipline is the core of the team. Without discipline, you don't have anything. Most players agreed with Burtschi's philosophy and supported him. - Coach Burtschi was the best coach l'd ever had, said Charles Hubbard. He always matched everything I could give. Team unity was strong throughout the season, often causing the Pirates to make surprising comebacks from lop- sided scores. I stressed team unity by encourag- ing unselfishness, said Burtschi. You'd be surprised what you can ac- complish when nobody takes the cred- it Sideline support was most evident in Coach A. D.

Basketball Homecoming 193 jV Players Shoot For Varsity Adapting to the change from Central junior High to senior high coaching has not been difficult for junior varsity coach, Mr. jeff jones. The kids are just a little older and more experienced, he explained. I think it is an advantage that I watched most of them play in junior high. He stressed that team unity took pre- cedence over individual performances, but the top five players statistically were Ronald Dennis with 317 total points, Brandy Vann scoring 219, Kevin Kesselring tallying 193, Cord Urton with 140, and Stan Hubbard with 116 points. One major difference, jones pointed out, was the large schedule of junior varsity games. The slate included twice the number of games played in junior high. This gave the players valuable competitive experience, said jones, and cut down on routine practice ses- sions. Spectator interest and attendance, said jones, was better at his junior high games than at j.V. games. However, he was hopeful that both attendance and spirit would grow with his team. I think that as we develop a stronger team, he said, we can expect more support from fans. Players appreciated their exper- iences on the junior varsity team, both for its own merit and as preparation for a possible varsity slot. j.V. is good experience to prepare for varsity, especially when we played in the jim Koch Tournament, said Ronald Dennis. .

Four out our six starters, said Brinson, were juniors, but they never failed to put forth maximum effort. With this kind of hustle and dedi- cation, he anticipated a strong nu- cleus of players for next year's squad, and hoped to win the Mid-State conference, extending the girls' re- cord to four out of six seasons. Two sophomores, Lisa Rorick and Rosemary Reid, gained valuable var- sity experience. With a strong re- turning forward, Shannon Peck and proven attitude and motivation, the Lady Pirate future looked bright. Rosemary Reid said, I would real- ly like to see the team work together as a team so we can build up good spirit for a good season. We anticipate strong competi- tion, said Brinson. Much will de- pend on whether we can match up mentally and physically. The girls need to cut down on their physical and mental mistakes. Drills learned in practice helped score points at games. Lisa Rorick set up a premeditated play. We like to play teams that are a challenge, said Brinson. The girls won't get any better playing teams they know they can beat. - Coach Steve Brinson Girls Basketball-197 Early State elimination misleading With a 10-3 dual record, Pirate wres- tlers sported the best statistics of the past four years, with three wrestlers qualifying for the state meet in Still- water. Both Glenn Simpkins and Tony Slover were eliminated early in the state tournament, but trainer jimmy Shaw said, When they were eliminat- ed was pretty misleading. They were both seeded so high going into the tournament that they hit their major competition early. It didn't mean they weren't good wrestlers, it just meant their toughest matches came first. Both quality and quantity were assets to the team.

With so many people, weight was not so large a problem as previously. We could have pulled down one weight as a team at the end of the sea- son, said Winnard, to be more com- petitive.

Freshmen imported from Central ju- nior High were allowed to swim for the first time in three years. I thought it would be more of a has- sle than it really was, said Coach Steve Parker. The freshmen instead were an added plus to this team. Many swimmers who weren't accus- tomed to using the muscles required for swimming felt the bite of cramps after a few laps. I encouraged people not to com- plain if they hurt, said Dana Schuman. The only way to be a better swimmer is to cope with the pain by swimming with it.

Facing one of the toughest sched- ules in the state next year, said Peb- worth, we need to emphasize mental as well as physical strength. Next year's schedule includes de- fending state champion Enid High School, plus perennial powerhouse Midwest City. Another conference contender will be Stillwater. The Pirate team will have to be strong and quick, Pebworth said, to withstand the pressure. Weight trainers alternated between sprints and actual lifting. Monday, Wednesday and Friday were lifting days, said Todd Baker. They consisted of about 25 sets of lift- ing per individual. No machines are used in the workouts. We work solely with dead weights. Dedication varied from athlete to athlete, but some workers seemed to resent those that were less determined to build their endurance. Only about a fourth of the class really pushes themselves for better strength, said Baker. A few of us even go to International three days a week as a follow-up of our sixth hour workout. l 4 ,br T l K acing one of the toughest schedules in the state next year, we need to emphasize mental as well as D physical strength. -jack Pebworth Competitive sports required upper body strength.

There are a variety of sports the students enjoy, such as volleyball at church, or even being a member of a soccer team. Most every sport requires dedication and lots of hard work and practice. A lot of fun was included too! This was shown by Mia Methvin, who missed this year's Christmas dance to perform as a mouse in the Nutcracker for Ballet Oklaho- ma. Even though there was no organiza- tion to their games, many of the junior and senior guys met on Saturday after- noons for a friendly game of football. It's a lot of fun, but you don't have pads and you're sore the next day. commented Todd Baker, one of the Pi- rate juniors who got into those week- end games. Michelle Beuchaw, a tal- ented sophomore, has been barrel rac- ing for two years. She also enjoys trail riding. Trail riding is somewhat like an obstacle course. The riders must take the horse over a bridge, go through gates, and go up to a mailbox, while keeping their horse under control. Mi- chelle has won over thirty-five ribbons from horse shows. She said, l board my horse at a stable and people post entry forms for their shows. There was no substitute for pirate pride in athletics whether it was kick- ing the winning field goal, crossing the finish line first, pinning an opponent in the first period or maybe scoring the winning goal for the MCA soccer team.

Free-style wrestling was Brad Vo- gel's specialty. Not only did he wrestle with the school team but he spent much of his spare time wrestling free- style. Last summer he went to London, England, to compete with other free- style wrestlers. Devoted to soccer since elementary school, Alex Theodoris and Kevin Lu- bitz hoped soccer would one day be included in the interscholastic sports program.

Her favorite spot for diving is in the Caribbean off the Grand Cayman Islands.

Now I can't wait to go to school there. - Fran Frantz True friends were always willing to shoulder each other's troubles. Glenn Simpkins carried Woo Perieda through rough times. Past fights futu re Students collect memoirs, project futures Past and future collided for many students as re- membrance ofthe past year and preparation for the year to come filled students' minds and afternoons. Scrapbooks and photo al- bums were filled by nostal- gic seniors as napkins, pro- grams and football ribbons were put away in bottom drawers and on bulletin boards. Underclassmen, too, kept objects to preserve their years in high school. As students were bom- barded with second semes- ter catch-up work, they felt somewhat snowed under by the extra load. Enrollment forms and college applications dedu- cated still more time from students' days. Those forms are the most involved, complicated things I have ever seen, said Kelley Mogridge. I guess they figure if you can handle the forms, surely you can handle college. Bonfires helped heat school spirit. Karen Nelson lit the blaze that preceded the North game. Twirp week gave girls a chance to ask out their favorite date. Chris Cooper and Kari Riley prepared to buy their tickets for the talent show. J Q fi T.

Seniors wandered the halls with a look of stark fear known as term paper terror. White-covered cars crowded the parking lot as stu- dents kept spare shoe polish in their glove compartments. l went out into the sun with my long-sleeved sweatshirt, shorts, and a hat on, said Katie Blair. I felt like I needed a head start. Brightness spread to people's moods, and smiles were often broader and more frequent. A sense of restlessness settled on students and faculty alike. People were anxious to be outside, and paying attention in class or lecturing students became very difficult. alike. People were anxious to be out- side, and paying attention in class oi lecturing students became very diffiy cult. There are always times when spring fever hits and you just want to open al the windows and say forget it. The only way to counteract it is to just close the window, said Mrs. Ruth Hodgson. Spring weather prevailed as early as February, and TWIRP week gave girls an extra something to smile about They asked out their dream dates, and if they were lucky the boys recipi rocated. . With the new brightness in mood. students anticipated and prepared for their futures, but occasionally a partyl pic or an old note would send students back into October or November. Spotlight is on Mark Brannum, who helped his homeroom decorate for Homecoming festivities. Silly costumes added pizzazz to party fun. Lisa Creed and Elise Reid get caught playing piggy back at the StuCo Halloween party. Pom-pons were used in many drill team activities. The theme from the movie Stayin' Alive provided a driving heat for this routine. I Clos ing Next year's forms completed Preparation for next year included mounds of application forms, pre- enrollment forms and scholarship applications filled out by students to insure their futures. College-bound seniors learned the art of two-finger typing as they made their college choices and sub- mitted applications. If accepted, they fought the pile of housing forms, financial aid forms and schol- arship forms that never seemed to get any smaller. job-hunting became first priority for many seniors as they contacted friends or studied the want-ads in search of employment. Students with vo-tech skills sometimes found labor using the trades they'd learned in high school. For underclassmen, preparation meant keeping a close tally of credits as they chose their courses for next year, to prevent being short a credit or two later in high school. Some underclassmen ran for club office, and once elected, they pre- pared for the club's next year. Athletes trained year-round, join- ing fitness centers or running daily to strengthen themselves for future seasons. Final months of school were filled with preparation for and expectation of the year to come. Interviews were pre-requisites to becoming a DECA member. Mr. Nelson Holloway questioned jenny Gordon to determine whether she would be an asset to DECA. Scholarship applications were filled out by seniors in search of college funds. David Morales typed his form. Teachers' preparation for next year included boxing books, cleaning out closets, and preparing for the arrival of new schoolbooks. Mrs. Barbara Anderson removed her books from the shelves. 222 Closing .fr wg 'U' advisor editor Hensley 3.,iw..Q ll lil S5425 at I W 3-. 4 ,- fr- : ' ts' 12. . ti . . A Q' s Y it ..e, . .fsi Y, . 2 .
