They preferred to elude the social life and concentrate on the quality education being offered. At the same time there was a completely different pat- tern—one that viewed high school as having some extra- curricular benefits. Students banded together in clubs and special classes to take some time between physics and geometry to With so many clubs and activities, it took special scheduling to avoid conflicts. Mrs. Juanita Edgmon, Glyndall Brady and Leeann Rumely arrange the calendar. Assemblies were filled with band music. Jimmy Webb, Roger Burk, Kirk Killion, and Tracy Witherby drummed up Pirate spirit. wrap a golf cart with tissue paper and make a float. These students attended the bon fire, the plays, and the dances. They were thrill- ed by Dante Jones and Aundre Johnson at the FCA rally and en- joyed traveling to conferences and tournaments to strengthen their talents. To some, P.C. patterns were like roller coaster rides; for others, it was a straight road to a career. It all fused together to make a pattern take hold. e TAKES HOLD S S ee | } | ) | nk ES te heh.

Those who _ had bought or received a new car over the summer flashily drove into the parking lot with their just waxed cars. For students who at- tended summer school, vacation time was much too short.

Sophomores, feeling a little uncertain, were ushered into orientation where they were in- formed of rules and also introduc- ed to the hazing of sophomores which would continue through the year. Obvious were the brand new back-to-school clothes crowding the halls on the first day of school. Howdy week posters covered the walls, informing students of the fun activities the week had to offer. Party pics of the Aloha Dance were displayed the next Monday for students to order. Competition for the best club float was stiff. Holly Espach draws countries on the Spanish Club float’s globe.

This was set by their needs and goals rather than old ones set by past classmen. Class of '85 started anew with their own pattern. As Heraclitus said, “Everything changes, but change itself.” Tradition was far from dead, but every year there was an addition to time worn customs. Change was inevitable. A new year brought new experiences. In all aspects there was something new added to each part of the school. It started with the building itself then down to academics and activities. New remodeling of the office sections greatly up- dated the building. The ten day absence policy kept more students in school and the credit change greatly affected the sophomores. New clubs were introduced with new activities. Academics installed a new computer class to keep up with growing technology. The year brought stricter regulations and even football © © 6— —student life division students marking this t that � started out with new helmets.

It was hoinecom- ing week with Nerd Day, Westbusters Day and EA Oo weer Power. North Week held Sweat Day, Cage the Panthers and Dress Up Day. Halloween was a “special day’’ too as students wore their costumes to. school. “It’s fun to see how creative people can get.” said Karla Lee. Nerd Day was one par- ticular day that seemed to stick out in everyone’s mind. “‘l really think it helps school spirit! Especially something that ‘gets’ to the students like Nerd Day,” said Holly Davis. Costume days gave students op- portunities to wear outfits that normal- ly they would not think twice about wearing. ‘‘It gave us the chance to wear or do things that we ‘normally’ wouldn't do.”’ Christi Mutz said. Participation not only made the day more spirited but it also made it more enjoyable. Many students participated just to break up the monotonous week with some fun. “I par- ticipated some because | thought it was fun and it helped school spirit,’’ said Kristin McGowan. Pe Box signing and practical jokes were a part of pledge day.

The summer carefree nights were over so students made the most of their weekend nights. Each person had his her own personal opinions of what they thought consisted of a fun night agenda. Movie rentals started a new craze of entertainment. Less than half the cost of attending a movie, a rented movie was a big hit : for slumber parties, parties and even dates. ‘‘My church youth ‘Night time air was filled with the F ‘ : fmusic of Berlin atthe Zoo group had so much fun watching a movie backwards one night at Amphitheater. a lock in, ”’ said senior, Tracy Roberts.

After Dok- ken played we went to the bathroom and when we got back our seats were taken so we Sat in the balcony for Dio. Dio played well and | liked it most when the lions turned their heads and shot each other with lasers,’’ said Christie Mutz. Pirate fans spent a large part of their Fridays at sporting events which sometimes end- ed with a StuCo dance where there was much participation. Eating out was another com- mon entertainment. Shopping at malls with friends sped up around Christmas time and when _ spring fashions were introduced. e SL To ADD th SE MRI AR Le EE Le at FABIO ere Bil kristen night S$ =i Making money, making friends all make up part of financing New computer cash registers required special knowledge for opera- ome knew the sinking feeling of being so broke that you actually had to tions.

High school isn’t just homecoming, dances, and sports. Most P.C. students not only carried their class loads and par- ticipated in extra curriculars, they also worked part-time. Money wasn’t just a luxury, it was a necessity. ‘‘Sometimes if | didn't get my work done | would get up at five in the morning to finish, but | needed the money so | worked,’’ remarked Kristie Caven. After paying for corsages, class rings, senior announcements, and library fees, most bank accounts were wiped out. Some students went to school from 8:00 am to 2:45 pm, were in clubs and on sports teams, and still managed to work. But dif- ferent surroundings made the job more in- teresting. ‘| worked for a different environment from the school environment. The people there were older and it gave me an idea of what’s going on in the real world,’’ stated Angie Conant. Tough daily schedules made super organization necessary. Somehow most students seemed to sur- vive the year and the generation of high school students were making a pattern take hold. Pe Cm ot a Volunteer work was an important part of keeping organizations running. Kelly Soter spends time working in the student store. Customers, such as Randy Lipe, kept Jerry Rogers busy making money after school hours at Hardee's. « Job responsibilities included restocking records at Sound Warehouse.

Wte? JUST US GIRLS! Sometimes there were things that were just more fun when done with friends, girls that is. Shopping, wat- ching soap operas, for instance, or maybe even a slumber party were a few of the things that ‘‘just us girls” would do. Nothing against guys, but it just isn’t the same. Slumber parties weren't a new fad with girls. It seemed timeless, the music isn't the same as thirty or forty years ago, but the food, gossip, and constant use of the phone hadn't changed. One thing's for sure, it is an SR Friends helped make an evening babysitting go more quickly. Kara Lee takes a refreshment break.

Sun bathing was a favorite pastime with girls. Oil, towels, sunglasses,and music were essential tools with a bucket of water near by if one wasn't lucky enough to have a pool. Carpet paths to the telephone were worn from soap opera commercial breaks. Girls with common favorite soap shows would be calling each other asking such as, ‘‘Can you believe Jenny Blake killed Brock.’ Or they may offer personal views like, ‘‘Oh, | want Hope and Bo to get back together. You know that they still like each other, you can just tell by the way they look at each other.”’ So, usually when someone asked who will be invited to these activities, the answer is usually, “JUST US GIRLS”.

Empty bags of potato chips, piles of poker chips, refreshment cans, and cards were some of the things that one could find strewn out all over a room after a night “OUT WITH THE GUYS . A common interest shared among the guys was the ‘‘poker game”. Cards, poker chips, and refreshments were all the guys needed and they were ready to go. The evening started out as early as 6 p.m. and would con- tinue on until 1 or 2 in the morning. Popular late night outbreaks of bowl- ing had recently surfaced again. Unim- portant scores were put aside as crazy ball rolls were surrounded with laughter. Money was pocketed by lucky score guessing of football games. Screaming and yelling, criticism toward officials, and requests .for refreshments could be heard from groups of guys manning the T.V. screen of a football game. Nights out with the guys was a time for them when they could just cut loos e and let themselves go. A com- mon reply from a guy if one had asked him the question, ‘‘What did you do this weekend ? ’ was ‘‘Oh, we just had a night ‘OUT WITH THE GUYS’ ”’. Guys spent time bowling for a night out.

Asbestos scare quickly contained To some, Friday, November 16, 1984, was the exciting release students have joked about but never expected. For others it was an extra load of complica- tions and time consuming problems. The surprise that took place was the detec- tion of asbestos in the southwest corner of the Putnam City cafeteria. Evidently, a repairman fixing the water line broke a seal. Superintendent, Mr. Ralph Downs, decided for student's and faculty’s pro- tection to dismiss them at midday. After the informing intercom announcement, the halls filtered while many students planned how they would relate the story to their parents. ‘“‘I've dreamed of something like this happening since grade school and my senior year it happened! | was going to tell my mother something really far out about why | came home ear- ly like a bomb threat or a fire, but | couldn't think of anything more weird than what really happened,” said Tim Kelly. Other students were not as lucky. Deb- bie Lusk relates, ‘“‘My mother didn't believe me and thought | was ditching, so she called the school.”’ It took 24 hours to clean the con- taminated area and the next 48 hours were used as a testing period by the State Department of Health and Labor. A night vigil was kept at the TV, waiting for news broadcasters to report no school on Mon- day for Putnam City. That, however, never came about, but in its place was principal, Mr. Bob Butler, with the reply, Channel Five reporters heed danger signs and view asbestos clean-up from cafeteria glass doors, while a camera crew films. ‘The state gave us the go ahead green, so we could resume school on Monday.” The absestos topic didn't end there, of course. Jokes circled for weeks. ‘‘We sug- gested getting the janitors ‘asbestos busters’ T-shirts and also administration T-shirts using a pun as a slogan, ‘We handled the situation as-best-as-we- could’,’’ said Tom Qualls. The seriousness faded as Ken Maggio teasingly retells his eye witness account of the clean up. ‘‘When we looked in, we saw men in little spacesuits walking around with janitors who just had on allergy masks.’’ West transferee, Chris Degraffenreid, applauded his decision of changing schools, ‘‘This is great! We never had anything like this happen at West.”’ (PP RES OR NPE OT SI IENE NE OCD NOY TY EIN I RN ty AY EA CITA LOM ART Ee TN ORR IO TON a he eae AL Taming of the Shrew SY] Cheryl Hench, Kim Wihon, and Sandra Yank Se vicl Passat ee to HAS ype eaiat NFR move detrimental Since 1965 the National Finals Rodeo has competed at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds.

Kelly was winner of National Council of Teachers of English Writing Award, National Merit Semi-finalist and in Who’s Who Among American High School Students. She was a member of honor society, math club, 12 year club, and student council.

Richard was an active member in band for three years, was in Principal’s Leadership for two years, selected for boy’s state his junior year and was Junior Rotarian. Besides all this, Richard kept up with a 4.25 grade average. Salamy was a University Scholar at OU and a regents scholar at OSU. He has served in student council for three years, and has been StuCo treasurer. He attended OU Leader- ship Week, National Leadership Training Center, and was in | | math club, medical club and 12 year club. Richard participated in Northwest Baptist Church. He was vice president of the youth council his sophomore year and — president his senior year. He also served on the Educa- tion Leadership Committee. Pe Students nominate seniors Dedication, activities Set Pirateer patterns After two days of nominations from seniors, Pirateer can- didates were selected. They must have had a 3.0 or above grade average and had to have been involved in some school activities. Nominees were narrowed down to boy and girl semifinalists. In order to be a semifinalist one had to have two or more nominations. After the semifinalists were known, a Pirateer committee consisting of two seniors, three juniors, two sophomores and four faculty members assembled and nar- rowed the list to four boy and four girl finalists by secret ballot. Pirateer voting was held for two days following the commit- tee meetings. Students could vote for their choice of one boy and one girl for who they would like to be Mr. and Miss Pirateer. ‘Just under 300 people voted. There are what you call cons- cientious citizens. They are the one who tend to vote only for the people that they know. Sometimes the juniors and e | 2 ; sophomores don't feel that they can take part. That is why we get more votes from seniors. ’ said Mr. Winford Akins, student council sponsors. Successful football seasons left the Universi- ty of Oklahoma ranked sixth and Oklahoma State University seventh. Student fans, as well as administration and faculty, were observant of the results. Bruce Jackson contemplates, ‘‘I think it will probably give OSU players and fans more confidence next year after this great season.’ Big Eight Champion, OU, was in a position for possibly being the National Cham- pions until the Orange Bowl against Washington. ‘‘l know we were a young team, but we'll be even better next year, and then we'll be there,’’ said Ashley Clark. ‘| think OSU got a better coach this year and I’m glad to see them go to the Gator Bowl and win it,’’ said Melissa Morgan. Some one else agreed. Pat Jones in his first year at OSU was named Big Eight Coach of the Year. OSU, beating South Carolina in the Gator Bowl, won Schools mark upbeat gridiron seasons 10 games and lost two, setting an all time record for most wins by an OK State team dur- ing a single season. Sooners had a nine win, two loss and one tie record to brag about. A first in three years 17- 7 win against Nebraska led to optimism from fans. “Il thought we did pretty goo d,” said Ginger Giles. The OU 24-14 win over OSU ada- ed to this. : Questionable calls in the biggest college game of the year, the OU-Texas game, gave way to frenzied criticism from fans. ‘‘I think we should fire a couple of officials!’’ exclaimed Betty Reeves. This bad break did not affect Danny Bradly, OU quarterback, named Big Eight Offensive Player of the Year. In addition, Tony Casillas, OU nose guard-tackle, and Leslie O'Neil, OSU defensive tackle, were named first team All-American. @é ae.

Of the 35 clubs, most enjoyed the social outlet parties provid- ed. Clubs gave students the opportunity to wear togas, go ice-skating or eat pizza. Some student, faculty and staff members didn't limit themselves to a specific area. In- stead, they found time to belong to a variety of clubs and organizations.

Jimmy Webb said, ‘‘STUCO has changed me in a lot of ways.’’ He continues, ‘‘I’'ve learned to be a leader, deal with every type of per- son and, most of all, I’ve learned what it means to be involved.”’ Effort, planning and organization are required, along with a lot of pa- tience in planning a dance or other activity. It involves planning the idea through a committee, obtaining ap- proval for the activity from the school administration and setting it up. “‘l understand certain school policies and activities that | ordinari- ly would either complain about or wouldn't care about. STUCO is full of all types of accomplishments. Each activity or project is an accomplish- ment represented by STUCO is an accomplishment in itself,”’ said Gary Johnson. For many, STUCO was a way of making lasting friendships and a way of actually getting involved in and in- fluencing the school’s activities. Gary Johnson commented, ‘‘STUCO is a fun, hard-working, time consum- ing, worthwhile, learning organiza- tion, that | thoroughly enjoy and believe is a necessity in carrying out and representing the students wishes and ideas as well as the stu- dent body as a whole.”’ 22 AT e Dn : | | | | | : : |. | t | heers given by Steve McLellan at the homecoming parade are shared by Karen Perryman, Gary ohnson, Alex Gomez, Ken Maggio, and Brent Walton.

Will took algebra 1 and geometry at Central and algebra 1, ll, Ill, and trigonometry at a work shop at Duke University last summer. Duke sent Will information on special math classes taken during the summer. They accepted him and Will stayed for three weeks. “The only grade | got was on the final exam; the rest was pass or fail.”’ When Central found out how much math he had taken over the summer, Mr. Capps, the prin- cipal, told Will that he could take calculus at the high school. Mrs. Wixer, a teacher, helped with the arrangements. Will is also interested in com- puters.

People will have difficulty surviving if they are incapable of using a computer. ‘‘In my music career, typing will help me because composing is often done on computers now,” said Scott Culver. Business classes are helping to prepare students for this eventuality. Accounting, com- puter programming, typing, economics and careers all focused on the changing economy and how to adjust to it. ‘‘General business taught how to use credit and write checks so you can run the money part of your house. When I'm old I'll be able to keep control of my money and budget,’’ said Steve Dance. ‘We had our own business called Safety First, Inc. | learned it’s lots and lots more responsibility to run a company than | thought. We made a profit of $71.68 but we returned it to the stockholders. We got paid for produc- tion at 40¢ a production period. It showed me that the people at the top don’t have it quite as easy as it looks,”’ said Janet Stewart. This new class taught students how business operated, how stocks were sold, and how marketing worked. Students made first aid kits and sold them, thus learning economics. With the business world changing and students considering careers, the business department developed new courses and altered others to fit the changing needs.

It was hollow, ’ said Robyn Underwood Child care and family living were tasks often shared in family life and learning about it in school is beneficial for future parents. ‘Fathers are more involved in raising children and some of them can even deliver their own. It makes the father closer. Mothers are naturally bonded to the baby and fathers can be close naturally through new techniques,’ said Gina Caranhan Fashions often change with the wind and always with the season. Sewing classes help students design and make their clothes in order to keep up with the trends. ‘‘The students can have a wider variety of clothes and they tend to fit better. It cuts costs to not have to pay regular prices too,”’ said Mrs. Bar- bara Rush Many consider these ‘“‘inherited”’ characteristics of women. If that were true, there wouldn't be so many family problems and nutrition problems in the world. As the world changes, so changes educa- tional need. The home ec department is teaching students to live and to YA live better Hand sewing is tedious but often beneficial. Nikki Gragg sews a seam make the fabric lay flat. Pattern books gave students in clothing ideas about the new fashions. Elisha Hall studies the spring fashions to keep up with the trends. Demonstrations helped other students understand techniques better. Kris Neeley showed the foods class how to make an angel food cake. Flour babies provided an insight into caring for a real baby. Child care classes carried babies made out of sacks of flour in order to realize the responsibilities of parenthood. Kelly Wells carried her baby to Mrs. Dunn's class in lieu of hiring a babysitter.

It really helped me get my assignment done,” said Michelle Cox.

Dancing isn't all; she plays the bass clarinet, clarinet and tenor sax. Starting at age three in ballet at Betty Stockard School of Dance, she is now in her fourteenth year. She is in her sixth year of toe, eighth year of jazz, ninth year of tap and fourth year of toe tap. She spends eight to ten hours a week in classes. The cost is not low with $17 to $20 an hour. ‘‘Each class helps the other classes. It also helps in drill team and in sports,’ said Colleen. Besides yearly recitals she has danced solo jazz and ballet at the Retirement Inns of America. In music she was invited to play in a youth concert in Europe. Ballet dancer Barishnichov is her idol in this activity. As to her future, she is not positive but she does like the theater. ‘‘I'd like to go into the theater. The hardest part is choosing one type of dance. You can’t do them all,’’ said Colleen. e “In the Jazz of Things’’ was a theme in one of the man y recitals in which Col- leen Mulcahey performed.

Organizations in which teachers par- ticipated included NEA (National Educa- tion Association), OEA (Oklahoma Educa- tion Association) and ACT (Association of Classroom Teachers). Through these groups teachers kept informed on the latest teaching theories and techniques as well.as on changes in policies that af- fected education. These organizations also represented the teachers in all contractual negotia- tions with the school board concerning curriculum, extra duty, tenure and others. Art teacher, Mr. Nick Kyle, building representative for the ACT, said that the number of representatives from each building was dependent on the number of teachers in the building. PC had four representatives who met once a month with other district representatives to discuss and vote on the operations ‘and policies of the ACT. The main purpose of ACT was to pro- mote equitable and fair policies for teachers throughout the district. “| felt that | could do my part by being an active representative,’ Kyle said. New business, resolutions, and budgets were among the issues considered by the OEA and NEA legislature. English teacher Mrs. Barbara Anderson and Kyle served as delegates to the representative assembly for the OEA and NEA. Mrs. Anderson was a member of the OEA resolutions committee. “The purpose of these organizations was to give direction to the association for the next year,’’ said Anderson. ‘‘Its parliamentary procedure was so well handled that anyone who had something to say could pretty much be heard,” Anderson said. “It's a very interesting job, but tiresome,”’ said Anderson. ce Negotiations were discussed at the meetings.

Great progress in all academic areas has been made in the last several years. In the past year, several computers have been ad- ded, remodeling to the school has been done and classes have been added or changed for the better. Administration was responsible for academic programs in- cluding planning, teaching, scholarship, creative activity and faculty and student development. Even with all of the cuts, there were important ad- vances in the administration area. The library reached the building was renovated. Principal Robert Butler has had a personal in- terest over the years in programs aimed at the academically talented student. He participated in and encouraged National Merit, and Prin- cipal’s Leadership. The Principal's Advisory Committee, made up of administrators and faculty, met monthly to discuss ways to make improvements to the school. Assistant principals Charles Epperly, Vernon Belcher, and B. J. Nichols also helped maintain academic standards. They counseled students, hired substitutes, and supported academic programs. Secretaries made an impor- tant support system forthe ad- ministrators. They answered phones, responded to cor- respondence, paid the bills, distributed an- nouncements, kept track of attendance and kept the administrators organized and functioning. Budget cuts or not, the ad- ministration kept the academic standards high and made improvements in order to enhance the quality of education. Participation in committee meetings was part of the job of an assistant principal. Mr. Vernon Belcher offers a suggestion during the Principal's Advisory Committee Meeting.

Research, whether by students or faculty members, can be enhanced and guided through the library. With over 24,000 volumes and subscriptions to about 200 magazines, information abounds. ‘Faculty members do research for their classes. They use the professional journals and use some of the magazines for their own enjoyment.”’ said Mrs. Jean Elder. Faculty members frequented the library during planning periods. ‘‘Free time’’ or ‘planning period”’ is not used for teaching, it is spent by teachers researching their field or planning learning exercises for their classes. Although a planning period is in- cluded in all job descriptions, most teachers would spend the same amount or more time planning in order to keep them and their students well informed and active. Most teachers teach five classes a day, and some are heavily involved in ‘‘ex- tracurricular activities.’’ All of these courses, activities and responsibilities de- mand a great deal of time and energy. With some teachers, there were as many as five different ‘‘preps.’’ Some had extra duty that required extra planning. ‘| spend my sixth hour doing the paperwork such as grade reports, absence reports and make-up assignments. | should spend more time grading papers and the like but it’s hard to separate my ‘regular class work’ from student council. | spend a great deal of time in the student store and working on my ‘after school’ responsibilities,’’ said Mr. Win- ford Akins. ‘‘| have two preps; one for biology and one for physiology. My planning period is used for calculating grades, preparing exams and grading papers. | research information for lecture and labs and set up materials for lab. | also perform the labs myself for outcomes,”’ said Ms. Kim Wilson. Without a doubt, planning and research are vital parts of education. Research keeps a teacher current in his field, stimulates his interest and increases his knowledge. Plan- ning keeps a teacher organized and busy and keeps his class active and learning. im a Sore throats were checked by Mrs. Virginia Frost, nurse.

But, semester after semester, the blanks on schedule change slips are filled with ‘‘add’’ or ‘‘drop.”’ Problems associated with being a ‘‘schedule change” deal not only with a student’s future but with the present as well. Often some hours are full, some classes are only offered at certain hours, some need special permission . .. the problems seem endless. After a student has succeeded in getting an ap- pointment with a counselor and decided on a class, then comes the wait for the change to be processed. “When I put in for a schedule change, | got it that day,” said Kris Neeley. “I had to change three classes and it got back within two days,”’ said Mark Hay. Some students weren’t as fortunate in dealing with ‘‘the process.” ‘| changed Spanish 6th hour for geometry so | could enroll in newspaper third hour. It took about two weeks to get through,” said Angie Hostmyer. Escaping from the ranks of the “schedule change’ meant hours of thinking and consideration.

Junior pitcher Cindy Varner ‘‘pitched well enough to win,’’ according to Coach Rod Wisley. “‘But you can't win when you don’t score. It was just one of those things.”’ Reasons for the collapse of a team that many people expected to have a chance for the state championship were numerous, but attitude was a problem in the waning weeks of the season. “| felt that we should have gone to the state tournament,” said Wisley. ‘‘We pro- bably would have, but we had some people who put themselves above the team. Be it boys, other sports, or whatever, some people just didn’t seem to care. We also probably would have gone further if we had a better draw. This isn’t sour grapes, but two teams of the calibre of Yukon and PC shouldn't be opening up against each other.’ Bright spots were numerous, however, and one had to look no further than se- cond base to find perhaps the brightest spot. Senior Shannon Peck made the All- State team at second base, was 8-0 as a pitcher, and provided ‘‘great positive leadership’’ according to Wisley. Junior infielder-outfielder Lisa Rorick also had an outstanding year, hitting over .300 and leading the team in stolen bases batting out of the leadoff shot. ‘‘Lisa was a great example for us; she played a lot of games for us. We played a bunch of games, and when you steal a lot of bases like Lisa does, you get banged up, but she was always in there.”’ Next year’s Pirates have a chance to be as good as this year’s highly touted team. “And that is saying a lot,’’ said Wisley.

According to Jones, the players’ attitude made up for a lack of talent. ‘Most teams probably have more talent than we do, but since the break, we've played with them,” he said. “‘With Ed- mond’s talents, they should have blown us away, but we played with them, stayed tough and only lost by five,’’ Jones said. Despite the lack of recognition that came from playing JV, most of the players didn’t mind the hard work for no credit. They realized that they were there for a purpose—to improve themselves enough to make varsity. ‘| don't think the players resent playing down here; not even the juniors,’’ Jones said. ‘‘Mostly we're a team of sophomores and sophomores just want to play, but our team nucleus is made up of juniors, who know they can’t play varsity this year and just want to make a contribution to the basketball program.” Pe Se Sg St eee Junior varsity basketball team members were: Front row: Charles McGee, Kyle Gray, Ken Robinson, Marvin Hall.

On the brighter side, the girls did manage to beat highly ranked teams like Carl Albert and Norman before Christmas. They continued the good work after the holidays by defeating Northeast and Edmond, two more highly ranked opponents. “We lost several good players last year to graduation, but we felt that we had several returners that were capable of playing well. | also felt that there were some sophomores coming up that could help us throughout the year,’’ said Brinson. Shannon Peck, Kevyn Hughes and Lisa Rorick led the way for PC at the forward end, while Dawn Bridges, Janice Berry and Tracy Dreier anchored the guard end. Lisa Windle helped us out at both ends, often exchanging ends in the same game. Newcomers like Trisha Cleary, Michelle Cox and Becky Boyd added needed depth.

Coach Randy Smith said, ‘‘Lisa Windle made a big impact on this team. She played both ends of the floor for us, as did Kevyn Hughes. They had to adjust to playing new positions in the middle of the game. They did everything we asked of them.” ‘Trisha Cleary was a move-in this year and she added depth for us. She did a fine job replacing Kevyn when we had to move Kevyn to guard,”’ said Brinson. ‘We'll miss these seniors. They did a lot for us and our program. Their leadership will be greatly missed. Their influence on our younger kids was irreplaceable. However, with returners like Lisa Rorick, Dawn Bridges and Janice Berry we are excited about the possibilities for next year.

Coach Larry Winnard has been coaching for PC for ten years. He began wrestling when he was in junior high and went on to have a very successful career in high school at U. S. Grant with eighty wins, one loss and one tie. His junior year in high school he went to finals and lost his only match. His senior year he could not go to state due to an injury. “I've had five knee operations and probably torn or broken every fnuscle or bone in my body,’’ said Winnard. He water skiied com- petitively in high school which caused his knee injuries. ‘‘Even coaching you get injured. Near fall points are awarded for having an opponent on his back. Rickey Roberts attempts to pin. | dislocated my finger this year,’’ Winnard said. He began wrestling at a weight of 175 but pulled to 137 his junior year. ‘‘| don’t expect my kids to pull weight like | did though,”’ he sald. He went on to wrestle at OSU for four years. He lettered there for three years and red-shirted one. ‘‘I really couldn't be a good wrestler in college. You have to be in good shape and mean and | had problems with my knees,’ Winnard said. Times have changed since Winnard wrestl- ed competitively. ‘‘Now the wrestlers are pro- bably slicker and know more about it than when | was in high school but they’re pro- bably not as mentally tough as we were,” Winnard said. tn ae = —201 3} ; ; } i iy 4 } Le BI i DN AE EES DA 2B oa ttt pi St as tA EE Rae AAAI Ai REED CE PE a “eee PS Ni Ea aan ine se ESB aD, Te tee Waiting for the return, Coleman Clark stands ready.

It’s a tough schedule, but it will make us better and prepare us for state.” Wilson, a junior, was one of the top players in the state and occupied the number one slot in the boys’ lineup. He was followed by Monty Roper, Jim Alspaugh, Coleman Clark, Eric Bailey, Pat Eillis, Brian Ellstrom and Andy Watkins. “Like any other sport, tennis required dedication and the players showed that dedication by participating in off season drills since the beginning of school. ‘| think it’s worth it, not just when you win, but all the time,’’ said Ginger Giles. “It’s hard work, but it’s rewarding too.

The boys swim team took four members to the state meet. ‘We only lost one senior boy and we have seven swimmers coming back next year. We have three freshmen, three sophomores and one junior. If we can get three or four more boys out next year, we will probably be one of the top ten teams in the state,’’ said Coach Steve Parker. Strong young girls team members will keep the team strong for next year. ‘‘We are losing two seniors but have seven returning next year,’’ said Parker. PC girls had a 10-3 record and were ranked ninth in the state. ‘If we can get a few more swimmers next year to replace the good seniors, we may move up to the top five in the state,”’ said Parker. Second in Mid-State 400 free relay and fifth in Mid-State 100 butterfly, Dana Schuman was ranked 12th in the state and 14th respectively. Rochelle Mason was fourth in state in 200 medley relay and 8th in Mid- State 100 butterfly.

Kyle Warr, Greg Burgess, Ricky Andrews, and Sherri Buras thaw out after the trip from the parking lot before school. Se —closing Inches close residents In Record lows of one degree with wind chills of —42° were enough to keep students inside and out of the cold. Only one day, January 2, were classes excused. This was the first time school was cancell- ed since Feb. 12, 1982. Television and radio were eagerly anticipated as students listened to see if PC schools were open or closed. Only once were they elated and the other days students rolled out of bed and trudged through the snow. ‘‘The first thing | do when | open my eyes on a snowy day is turn on the radio to see if school is clos- ed. | always find out we have to go anyway.

Snow fights, sledding and warm nights by the fireplace made the cold weather tolerable. ‘‘l like to lie down in it and make angels,”’ said Rick Scheer. Frigid weather was not all fun. ‘‘Means nil,’’ said Blake Williams. Students slipped and fell and slid and crashed. Teachers gave extra assignments in anticipation of cancelled classes. Eventually sidewalks cleared, Cars were dug out and even avid winter sportsmen looked forward to spring. ‘‘It’s too cold. I’m look- ing forward to spring because | don't like winter,’’ said Melanie Henry. @e Sila pips TAKES HOLD — - ae : i AOL SE ARR LE NT Ra SARE ie SOON ARN ie LEER RI AST ea SB EAR pe no aa A eat hh Ea cet 0 tS AAG A cE et DMCA A aL NL Rising temperatures bring fever Students daily crossed off days on calendars for spring break, while writing long packing lists of ski pants, sunglasses and bandan- nas, or bathing suits, sunscreen, and towels depending on the loca- tion of the trip. Deciding where to make prom dinner reservations, and discussing with parents what time one had to be in, were all parts of scattered thoughts runn- ing through students minds as the end of the year grew closer and closer. Nervousness was one feeling many students felt as elections for new offices drew near. Preparation of speeches, practicing these speeches, making up a cheer if the intention was to tryout for a cheerleading position, were all obstacles students overcame in order to reach their goals. Spring fever was felt by everyone in more ways than one, whether it was through nervous excitement for spring break or the prom, or whether it was the feeling of the cool spring breeze across one’s face as one drove around town with the top down. The fever was in the air. Pirates grabbed it, and the pattern took hold. try , 2 Decoration orders had to be submitted early. Ms. Bonnie Burkey discusses an idea with Shannon Strain and Janice Berry.

For some, European trips were the “experience of a life- time.”? While everyone was having fun, one teacher had an experience she’ll never forget. For the first year, students touring Germany with Mrs. Illona Morris (German teacher) were able to travel to East Germany. The students were in East Berlin on tour. Mrs. Morris traveled through Checkpoint Charlie on her own to visit relatives from Czeckloslavokia. Born and raised in Bavaria until the age of 12, Mrs. Morris had never part of the spring break fun. Plugge and Jesse Toay live it up at Padre Island. BORDER CROSSING TURNS INTO Wegatmare been to the communist sector of her country. Unfortunately, the trip was not as happy as it should have been. “Tt was a humiliating experience going through the border check. I was interrogated, searched and robbed (by East German officials) of all the money. I had to pay a tax on presents I was taking to my relatives before I could enter East Berlin.” Mrs. Morris had not seen her uncle since 1972 and had never met her aunt and two cousins. Concerning a return, the Ger- Billy Knight, Kevin Lubitz, Brennan Elliott, man teacher replied, “Yes, | would like to find a way to get them out.” The border was not the only shock. “Seeing Communist guards, their dogs and machine guns, the guard towers and walled-in people was a terrifying experience. It was sobering to see children playing in their back yards which had fences of barbed wire and behind that mined territory.” Glad to be out of communist country, students enjoyed the rest of the trip. East Germany will stay as a reminder of less fortunate people in the minds of those who traveled there.” No man’s land behind the Berlin Wall brought. out the reality of the separation of Eastern Commun- ism and Western Democracy.

These events were anything but worthless. The Crazy Olympics and Cancer Carnival combined once again to make generous contributions to help finance research and treatment. “Not only was the Crazy Olympics a worthy cause,” said Kris Neeley, ‘‘it was also a change c: pace from the regular routine of school. With fifth and sixth hours lasting under 20 minutes, it definitely made the day a little more bearable.” Students attended the Crazy Olympics for various reasons. Denita Bridges admitted that she went to get out of class. Students seemed to really enjoy these activities. “It was globules of fun,” commented Greg Crist. Another activity held to aid cancer research was the Cancer Camival sponsored by different organizations around school. Booths includedfood stands, a putting range, and the ever popular dunking booth, in which faculty sat helplessly as carnival participants attempted to dunk them in the water by throwing baseballs at a round target. Charmon Taylor said, ““The Cancer Carnival is something I always enjoy participating in.” “These annual activities,” said Jimmy Browning, “have proved successful year after year, not only supporting a worthy cause, but by giving the student body a chance to help out and have a good time doing tele While David Barnhisel starts the race, Kelly Lloyd, Billy Knight, Carrie Collins and Greg Plugge wait for their turn. ¥ Anticipations build as Darcy Hannebaum and Guy Strunk await the start of the threelegged race.

Casual fasitions were displayed by Melissa Morgan at the DECA Fashion Show. Shell animals such as clams were dissected by Robert Ferrell in Mr. Jones’ class. Studies, researches, and tests led to the final projects of the year. Biology students studied respira- tory, digestive and reproductive systems in order to understand the dissection of the crayfish and fetal pigs. Note cards, bibliogra- phies, and outlines were learned in order to perfect the term paper. Kites were built in the art class and flown to announce the spring season. House plans ended the study of decorating and design in home planning. Conversation was the result of the study of phonics and vocabu- lary in the foriegn language classes. “Projects set patterns Plans for next year were made in newspaper, yearbook, fashion merchandising, band, and music. Workshops to enhance the skills of debate, photography and drama were attended as were national conventions for DECA and VICA. Knowledge for the future was the purpose and the goal of the year’s final projects. The time and effort may seem unnecessary Now, but there will come a time when, like the final project, education forms together to make a logical pattern. This pattern will allow students to take hold of the future. Spring brought kite projects to Mr. Kyie’s art classes.

Approximately 478 students attended; 17 of whom were from Putnam City. “ Let me win, and if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” really expressed the attitude of the Special Olympic participants. Augie Martinez replied, “It was fun and it took alot of hard work.” Students from Putnam City participated in the following events: LaNissa Larason - soft- ball throw; Laura Byrd - 50 meter dash; Lori Langford - 400 meter coed relay team; Mary Bauer - 200 meter run; Jimmy Jeckel 50 meter run; Thomas Booth softball throw; Augie Martinez Pentathalon; Karen Klopfenstein 400 meter run; Robert Coft 50 meter dash; Mia Johnson 400 meter relay; Chris Janzen - 50 meter run; Paulina Ta - soft- ball throw; Stephen Holik - 50 meter run; Cotton Owens - soft- ball throw. During the Olympics, Ms. Carolyn Price, an assistant teacher, said, ‘“This is my first year andI’m having as much fun as the kids.” “They get so excited they can’t keep still and they start talking about next year,”’ said Mrs. Jamie Allen. “It could not have been done without the PC volun- teers - all 99 of them.” Winners were plenty in all events. “Track and field isn’t the only event. We participated in music, bowling and art and went to state at OSU.” said Allen. Tommy Booth commented, “This is my second Olympics and I always have more fun each year.” Identification made recognition easier. Jimmy Jeckel receives his name tag from a volunteer worker.

Tracksters qualify for state, regional meets School draws to a near end and so does the season of the track team. During the end of the season the team prepared for regionals and state meets at Norman. Bright spots in the season were the 400 meter relay team which consisted of Dan Murdoch, Marvin Hall, Brian Huff and Keith Holmes. This was one of the top in the state. Bryant Walker also placed in several meets in the high jump. Marvin Hall was one of the top sprinters in the state in the 100 meter and 200 meter dash. Mike Ray made the state meet throwing the discus. “During spring break, they got flat and a lot of people lost their shape. After spring break the team had to struggle to get back in shape to get ready for regionals and state,” said Coach Dorman Griffin. Griffin said, “‘Tae only way -to get back in shape is to work really hard.” Senior Mike Hill said they were prepared for regionals and state and as a whole they did really well. Positions on the team were determined by speed. Jeff Warlick, Victor West, Thomas Ristow and Dennis Clark race for a position on the team. One hundred yard dashes took energy to finish. Rich Wilkins practices to improve his time. Baseball team affected by inexperience, schedule With a tougher schedule and a loss of the experience of the seniors of last year, the Pirates’ record suffered at 14 - 20. With the junior varsity of last year filling the big hole the seniors left, the junior varsity record for this year was not as good as it could have been. “This was a young team because we had so many ninth graders. The schedule was tough but the record speaks for itself,” said Coach Rod Wisley. The All-Tourney team members were: at Western Heights, Mike Hale, junior; at Guthrie, Stan Pace, senior; and the “Mr. Hustle Award” went to Chris Howlett, sophomore. The leading hitter was Steve Frakes, junior. “Next year both teams pre- dict they will be much _ better because of their age and their acquired experience‘” said junior John Buford. Ninth graders took many of the awards for the baseballers. Mike Massey, ninth grade, was the out- standing pitcher, and the leading pitcher. James Ray, also a ninth grader, was the leader in the category of stolen bases. Strikes were thrown in a close loss, 9 - 8, with Edmond. Pitching for the Pirates was Loren Sanders.

Their team consisted of three girls and 11 guys. Peggy Tobin was the only player to go on to state and there she placed second. Dony Kyle missed state by four shots. “We should do good next year. We should have gone to state this year but Ronald Dennis couldn’t play and Chris Faram got hurt,” said Dony Kyle. The tennis team consisted of 15 boys and nine girls this year. The boys’ record was 16 - 3, while the girls’ record was 10 - 8. aACtou “This is the first time in several years the girls have had a winning season,” said Coach John Seale. Kathi Swink, a senior player, was an All State player and was placed on the All State Team. She also received All American Honors. Jack Wilson and Monty Roper were the top ranked double team in 4A in the State. The boys were ranked 5th in the State while the girls were ranked 10th. “We'll have a really good girls team next year even though were losing Kathi,” said Ginger Preparation for tne Tournament important. Peggy Tobin prac- tices her swing at Hefner Golf Although the Junior Senior Prom was set earlier than usual this year, it marked the beginning of the end of the school year. Invitations for dates were ex- tended at the last minute. Ner- vous girls were then combing the formal shops for that gorgeous dress three days prior to the prom. “You are so busy running around buying a boutineer and getting measurements on your dress that when the prom comes you’re glad you can relax and have fun,” said Janna Reeves. Sand was the only thing missing at the Beach party. Fruit, music, volleyball, ping pong and lounge chairs were available to set a beach atmosphere. Brennan Elliott offered a word of advice to future volleyball Wind down begins with prom players. “Don’t play volleyball with your eyes closed.” Assemblies, club and StuCo elections, much needed _ fund raisers and end of the year parties filled the month of May. Tracy Roberts excitedly told of her plans for the pep club party. “T’ll be there early and in my swimsuit ready for a tan.” Yearbooks were quickly ex- changed between friends for autographs.
