There was no histo- ry. no familiar faces. nothing. Everything was new. The paint on the walls, the desks, the bleachers, the spirit. Because someone thought you were worth it they gave the school its colors, cheers and traditions. The students werent ranked first or last, they had no ranking. They were caught in the middle and something was missing. They needed something to pull them together, to give them a sense of pride. a feeling of unity. A year later. the basketball coach, Coach Dick Close, began the unifying tradition. lt was not a mascot or a yell, but a spirit. One that could not be physically seen, but felt. The one spirit that gave West its sense of pride was Osgood il. Bumpkin, O.-l. West was on top. and Oal. was here. Whether it was because of him. or for him. no one knew. Then the students stopped needing the spirit and they began ridiculing the pride. O.-l. was lost. The school unity became class division. O.-lfs spirit had been the driving force: then two years ago something happened. O.,l. left. Some say that they thought they had risen above needing O.-I. Others said that they thought they were capable of surviving alone. They started winning and thought they no longer needed the support of a spirit. They lost their understanding of O..l.'s purpose. they lost touch with what O..l. really meant. l feel like OJ. was just worn out. said Vice-Principal -lerry Rickerts. lt was almost inevitable that the paint. would fade, but whoev- er thought that the pride would fade also? liast summer. Student Council and class officers met with Principal Clary Webb to talk of reviving spirit. Fifteen Student fi'ouncil and class officers went to basic lead- ership workshops in Tahlequah and Edmond where they got. fired up and learned motivational techniques. They returned and talked about where the school spirit had gone and how they could get it back. Talk of O.,l. was all around. After school. away from the hustle and hustle of classes. students carried on hits and pieces of conversation about O.-l., his spirit and how to get his spirit back. The quest began for the return of O.J. Q . we qgg I. ,L ,, , ,N 'f x -gr U- L Ogg. Igk 4 A .f as - ,F ' isa' ' ' s ri! f, 2 Q' ..

You're someone special CONTEANTS Because you are someone special, someone cared enough to begin a new year and we cared enough to re- cord it with endsheets and an opening, 1-5. All through the year, you found life outside of school while you participated in student life, 6-45. There were enough clubs to suit every- one, 46-65, and of course, enough classes for everyone to choose from in academ- ics, 66-95. The school was made up of many different faces and personalities but you were all one, even though you were indivi- duals, 97-137. You had one thing in common, you came from the same com- munity, 138-145. All through the year, there were different teams playing dif- ferent games but all working for the same goals in sports, 148-191. Because parents and friends cared they had a chance to wish you love and luck in the Patriot Sa- lutes, 192-193. You're all in this together, index, 194-199, and because you're someone special, this one's for you, closing, 200, and back endsheets.

As a group of you were working on the Pirate Roast, I entered the conversation. You , talked about who I was and what I had meant IS to West, and how you could bring me back. It felt so good to know you hadn't forgotten me. You see, when the seniors this year left, I would have been forgotten, because they were the last class to be told who I am. I was always here, people just didn't believe in me. Now there were some of you that believed, and started telling others. You even had special T-shirts designed to announce my return. On the night of the roast, hundreds of you gathered and watched the State Champion Softball Team defeat Putnam City 1-0. As you brought in the torches, I felt a special excitement, not just a hyper kind, but even deeper, one of peacefulness. I watched those torches, held straight and high, as they lit the fire. It took a long time to start, but as it grew brighter and hotter and fiercer, you yelled more and more. The glow on your face was not just from the fire, but also because you believed in me again. You yelled my name, you wanted me back, and I was there. As the fire slowly died, your glow continued. Like your high school days, the fire would be over, but like embers, your mem- ory of this night would last. The next day, my old friend Gary Webb told you who I am. You gave both of us your respect as you listened in total silence. He told that I was the driving force behind West in the early days, and while Osgood J. Bumpkin is my name, I am not a person. I am a spirit, and I am only there if you believe I am. To see that this wasn't a one day attitude, he called nine teachers, including himself, that had taught at West all 16 years to be a jury. When the students proved I was back to stay, this jury would wear the 'It's Alive' T-shirts that he would buy. He continued saying, several years ago someone stole our idea of O.J. in the person of 'Rocky', a motion picture boxer. Rocky was a nobody, who worked hard, did his best, and became a champion. Once on top, however, he quit working as hard and lost his faith in himself. Webb then likened me to Rocky, as we both had been to the top, gotten over-confident, and fallen. After listening to a com- mercial aired by Putnam City, and Mr. T threatening pain for West, 'Eye of the Tiger' played and students rose in unison, yelling 'O.J. Livesi, many hugging each other, as they crowded on to the stage to cheer for ten minutes. As you walked the halls yelling between classes, you were no longer many voices but one, mine. I am a part of each of you, and each of you, a part of me. You wanted me back, and so I came . . .

Over 50 cars embla- zoned with 'O.J. Lives' and 'Eye of the Tiger' pa- . . raded to the stadium, filling it 'f with tltls Alive' pride. The stu- , dent section was 500 strong to watch the Patriots get 'sweet re- venge, over the Pirates, 28-13. As we f waited on the sidelines, yelling, 'Where's Mr. T' and then rushed the field, we all knew O.J. would be with us forever. We had officially accomplished our goal when the jury, chosen by Webb, wore the shirts at the homecoming assembly against Norman. While decorating the halls the next week O.J.'s spirit was present. To show this the senior class hung a picture of 'Rocky' on a crepe paper 'Wi above the school seal. In victory and defeat, his presence appeared at the Law- ton game. Through the rain and wind, the Patriot fans rose as Lawton's band played 'Eye of the Tiger', even though our team lost on the field. Insuring eligibility for state playoffs, we were right behind our team as they upset Moore, 35-19 making the 13 point requirement. Although, the wrong name was drawn out of the hat, to break the three- way tie, we had all done our best, together. The following Monday, for the cancer drive, we cheered Rocky on to access over Mr. T., almost as though we were actually seeing the fight. There 'as constant cheering as Rocky won and we raised over S500 in the process. Everything that happened this year showed our love, unity, and pride, not ist as Patriots, but as people. It took time, effort, and money but none of it was ansidered wasted . . . because youfre worth it? - Moore game upset 35-19, is celebrated by sen- iors Randy Wilson and Billy Alleman. - Photo ,, , by Tracey Deathe.

'er'r1 e-i-'1 ., Going places, meeting people, doing things makes school fun in L7K'g With a combina- tion of people, ideas, and goals a school was created. It took all these things plus so much more to make a school Worth going to. Not just any kind of school, but a school that stood out above all others, West. Many students made the West Way Worth it by their Willingness to be a part of it all. They Worked hard hours to build and maintain a reputation. Many times they received only the satisfaction of knowing they helped carry on the Pa- triot Spirit for payment. It was their Work and this spirit that made West Worth it to them. Each person had his own special Way of doing things. Whether a sophomore, junior, or senior each special Way be- came one and made West worth it!

Beating Putnam City, dieting, and sneaking candy in class were Sweet Ways to get Revenge Q14-155. Racing the Pace 116-195 to win, sophomores, ju- niors and seniors showed everyone just who was who. The Inner Glow Q20-215 came from the posters, pep assemblies and the return of Osgood J. Bumpkin. Some students collect or own special things. For these students Prized Possessions Q22-235 helped make up for the Routine Ruts Q24-251 everyone falls into during the year. Just when everything began to get humdrum, along came one of the many Holidays C26-295. Working Q30-31D was a way of life for students who needed, or wanted, a steady flow of cash. All students, notjust the ones who worked, lived For the Weekend Q32-335. Mr. and Miss Patriot Q34-353 were chosen from the senior class to stand as an example for everyone.

When school is out, students get excited about summer activities. Vacations, earning extra money, sleeping in, are top of list for summer fun. Rolling Stones was a far cry from driving to the Lloyd No- ble in Norman to see a con- cert. For seniors Russ Lan- don and Eddie Stanton this dream of a vacation became a reality when they went to London to see their favorite group live. Other student's summers weren't quite as exciting as 'ii i i'i land to See the ll l Q Student Life - Summer Funshine that. For them, spending the day in front of the tele- vision or out by the pool proved to be just as much fun. I spent my summer mainly just laying around, said sophomore Kim Ful- ton, I watched a lot of soap operas and went swim- ming. Going to White Water, Cactus Jack's or the movies were a few of the things people did with their sum- mer lull. I had -nothing else to do, so I got a job 2 White Waterf, said sophc more Debbie Harris. A short trip would als get students to Six Flags, place many found then selves going to when thel was nothing else to do.

These are some of the many methods parents re- sort to in order to see their high school kids make it to first hour on time. I don't know why they even bother to start school so early, most of the people aren't even awake until 11:00 a.m. I know I'm not, said Cheryl Edlin, sopho- more. Although most of the people barely make it to class on time, there are We Vs V551 Tf' if 5 figs those students who are up even earlier than necessary. 'Tm up at 5:15 every morning to shower, do my make-up, pick out what I'm going to wear and iron it. I also have to do any home- work I didn't finish the night before and eat. Then for the rest of the time be- tween 7:00 and 8:00 I lounge around, said Shannon Dumble, sophomore. I trick myself into getting up extra early by setting my alarm a half hour ahead, so when I think itls 6:30, itls really only 6:00. Ingenious, huh? said Christy Hester, sophomore. I have to get up at seven in order to make it to school on time. Even though my alarm goes off at 7:00., I wait and get up at 7:15, then I'm always late for first hour, said Clay Has- sell, junior. Mountain Movers - Student Life Most of us get up at a fairly decent hour in the morning and only have to rush when there's ten min- utes left before it's time to leave. I get up at what I con- sider a reasonable hour. I get dressed and ready for school. At about five min- utes before it's time to leave, I'll discover a little thing I had forgotten. On the way to finding it, I'll re- member about a million other things I had forgot- ten,'l said Sherrie Far- quhar, junior. There are some students among us who wake up with exactly enough time to do their daily morning rituals and actually makes it to school on time. They are definitely weird, said John Brannon-sophomore. - Copy by Kim Hampton. ,ii Friend hipis first step 1?

Breaking the ice and reaching out can end up making dreams. s a teenager, ev- ery new day brought new experiences. New acquaint- ances were made, and many events took place that had never been encountered before. Joining clubs, going to parties, or just hanging out, many students made new friends. The best way for me to meet people is by go- ing to parties and get to- gethersf' said junior Lor- inda Banks. Another way for students to meet others was at the dances held after football and basketball games. The attendance at the dances 'Hifi-: ' 3 A 12, Student Life - Ice Breakers was awesome! I had the best times at them. It didn't matter whether we had won or lost the game, said Chad Sanders, sophomore. With so many students no one could meet every- one. By getting out and try- ing to get involved the number of strangers around was diminished. The fact that they tried and all of us were together as Patriots after the games made it really special, said junior Angie Miller. First dates could really shake someone up. When the guy pulled up at a girls house and she's only half- way ready it was by embar- rassing for both of them. On my first date nothing went right, said Susan Sheely, sophomore. I was so nervous! she added. When a dream finally be- came a reality, all the things that had been worked for finally paid off. First dates weren't the only new experiences. The resurrection of O.J. brought a revival within the school. Also, for some, not being able to be somewhere could do mysterious things to their minds. I wasn't able to go to the Moore football game. All evening long I was wondering how our guys were doing, said Mary O'Toole, senior. - Copy by Tiffany Brauer. :ES fsgs. ,. -Sl ass gg.. ei -P i , 4. i .., me xy Q - x ' . 'ff NNN , ..

Student Life - Sweet Revenge fter falling to Putnam City 27 - 0 last year, many football players swore to themselves even this year. And they did. Last year's P.C. game was a tough one, said senior football player Kevin Mercer, it was a down year for us. We thought they were a good team, but not good enough to beat us that bad. We just couldn't get it together. This is my senior year, and one of the things I wanted to do was beat P.C. Players weren't the only ones who sought a 'sweet revenge'. Students found themselves decorating their cars, street signs and any- thing else they could fit a they'd get i w 1 1 1 'W' or 'West is Best' on. I have some friends who go to P.C. and the night of the game I went to their houses nd put 'Pats Prevail' on heir car windows, com- ented senior Carole Hol- 1s. For others, 'getting back' t people, whether friend or nemy, was just another hing to do. Sometimes I'll rite 'Hi' on my friend's :ars or drive-ways when 'm out, but ifI am mad at omeone and I really want evenge, I'll go all out and totally cover the car and rive-way with shoe polish yed with food coloring, aid sophomore Michelle Johnson. Mark Sexton, senior, found his revenge in other Nays. I have an uncle who is a cop for the Bethany Po- lice Department and if someone is really bugging me, I'll have him pull them over and pretend to give them a ticket. A lot of times it really scares people. Now that's a real sweet revenge! I usually don't get back at people, said sophomore Shanda Simmons, but one time a guy from North real- ly made me mad, so my best friend and I went over to his house about three in the morning and did everyth- ing imaginable to it. He was pretty mad the next day when he found it, but it was great to get him back! For others, Sweet Re- venge was taken literally, and in one of those 'never say' words: DIET. Working out everyday and running two miles in the rain were some of the extremes that people went to just to stay in shape. A lot of times it gets old and boring, but it's worth it to stay in shape, stated sophomore Kristina Hwang. Some people's efforts never quite paid off. I have tried every diet in the bookf' said sophomore Dina English, but none of them ever seemed to work. I'll be doing great until lunch and then Ijust can't seem to pass up some ding- dongs or a cheeseburger! Eating candy in class was supposed to be against the rules, but many students found the temptation too much to pass up. I have to have a candy bar on some daysf' said sophomore n . 5, 4 Q, I S J , l , l . ... ,J U . u..

A lot of times I may get caught but it's well worth it! A lot of times girls wer- en't the only ones caught dieting. Many guys, espe- cially wrestlers often found themselves cutting down to make weight. Every year during wrestling season I have to go on a 'diet',l' said junior wrestler Ray McCor- vey. Whether it was getting someone back, beating P.C. or going on a diet, sweet was the revenge. -Copy by Freida Barrow.

Students compete in groups or alone. Time, energy, and practice go into making the final outcome worth the effort. Q 1 .ar lthough many students com- peted in the highly recog- nized areas of football and other students spent hours training in sometimes virtually unno- ticed events. In the field of gymnas- tics, sophomore Susan Pre- cure and junior Tracey Lowther competed. Tracey Lowther, junior, who also is in gymnastics competitions said, I didn't think I could ever feel so much excitement and nerves at the same time. Individual competition can be rewarding. There were many things to compete in. Speech, twirling, wrestling, karate, band, cheerleading, and gymnastics were possibili- ties for individual competi- tion. Sophomore Jolynn Craig, who competes in speech, said, I had a goal to get to the semi-final round and I made it. But the competitors were good and it was hard to get to the finals. You just have to be a f' basketball, Students competed against themselves as well tough and hang in there. Although nervousness and fear sometimes take their toll, winning can make up for it all. All the hard work and practice paid off for senior Stacey Stone. She said, At cheerleading camp I tried to give a hundred percent and when we were compet- ing I tried to do even more than that. Being picked to be on the N.C.A. staff was exciting. Also, being invited to Hawaii to cheer in the Aloha Bowl was so unex- pected. It will help to fur- part in individual competi- tion. I have been cheering since the eighth grade, said senior cheerleader Sta- cey Stone. Being nervous is really just excitement, she added. Individual competition ther my possibilities of be- ing on N.C.A. staff this summerf, Personal satisfaction was always gained in individual sports, whether the event was won or lost. When I win, I feel the work I've put into it is worth the effort,', said senior Greg Branch. as other competitors. soph- omore twirler Lyric Ewing said, When we were com- peting, we weren't really going against anybody, just ourselves. When competing with a group, the tension level was high. Whenever we are marching in a contest, if one person messes up it can throw off others. How well we do does depend on indi- viduals but also on how we perform as an entire march- ing band, said sophomore Flag Corps member Neeley Meador. In entering a competition students have to prepare themselves mentally and physically to do their best. As long as they competed to the best of their ability, they succeeded. Many times they have to work and sweat long hours to achieve their personal goals. Students competed and displayed their talents all because they knew it was worth it! -Copy by Jenny Kendall.

From decorating halls, lockers, cars and windows, to making a happy birthday sign for a friend, these were a few ways that teachers and students made that glow. Before the Lawton foot- ball game, the Student Council sponsored a hall decorating contest between the grades. The rules were set and the students went off to make their hall the best. I didn't think that we were given enough time to really do a good job, but it was still a lot of fun! said sophomore Shelley Lewis. After the 7:00 p.m. dead- line, the teachers came in to judge. The seniors and their Patriot-Hall came in first place. One of the most common Student Life A Inner Glow times that the school was decorated was on game days. The halls were cov- ered with posters and good- luck wishes and cars and windows were also decorat- ed. Some people even went as far as to spray paint their hair blue and gold. To get the football team fired up for the Moore game the Student Council pro- vided posters to each home- room for everyone to sign. The posters were then hung in the locker room. Another form of inner glow was decorating lock- ers. Guys and girls alike decorated their lockers with pictures from maga- zines and posters. I put up pictures of men from 'GQ' and a mirror in my locker so it won't look so plain, said sophomore Shanda Simmons. Another special occasion that called for decorating was the holidays. During the Christmas season the art classes painted the win- dows. Also, on peopleis birthdays, friends often decorated a locker or put up a sign announcing the occa- sion. But perhaps the most forgotten form of inner glow were the ones done for yourself. Sometimes I would dress up because it makes me feel good to know thatl look nicef' said junior Dawn Lee. Other things that people did for themselves were things for self satisfaction. Sometimes when I am in a bad mood I will just go shopping and buy myself something. That's always a good way to break a depres- sion,', said junior April North. Some people tried hard to bring out an inner glow in themselves everyday. I try to always have a smile on my face because it makes other people smile and then everyone is happy! said sophomore Kim Dalington. These reasons and many others were the things that brought out an inner glow in people.-Copy by Freida Barrow. X , limi ll llltllwg Wt' UW!

Not only were material things sentimental but friends, God, and special re- lationships were also a big part of student's lives. My relationship with God is my prized possession because He's the number one part of my life, said Julie Turbeville, sopho- more. It was also nice to have friends to go to when prob- lems came up. I like to show-off all my friends I've made here, which is about 3,000, said senior Frank Konig, a for- eign exchange student from Germany. Special talents also brought pride to some stu- dents.

Stuck in cu tomary habit Students find daily ruts are part of the i routine. Breaking these ruts sometimes seem impossible, but they leave us prepared for life as it is met. Ost Students up Egg live with ruts utt l lutluiui ut whether of not they re- are a settled alize it. Ruts habit or way of living. Many students find them- selves in ruts during the year. In September, students begin driving the same car to the same parking place and going through the same door to find the same friends near the same lock- er. They went to the same class to sit in the same chair to hear the same teacher only to find that the same rut prevailed in May. I get ready for school the same way even if I am running late or if it is a weekend, said junior Keith Crowded halls are part ofthe rou- tine. Students often get in the rut of going to the same way to class every day. - Photo by Jan Lyon. Nicholson. This rut, like many oth- ers, was never broken. It went on the same way ever- yday for most students. Different kinds of ruts were experienced by differ- ent people. A rut did not have to be experienced at a determined time or place. I get into this rut,'i said senior Kathy Greer, where everytime I get the chance to compete no matter what it is, if it is drama, speech or just everyday life, I take itf' Ruts could be something a person looked forward to doing. They did not have to be the everyday life that was sometimes led. Every other day I walk around school like the living dead because I am sick of it, said junior Tamara Smithee. Ruts were often broken and sometimes added a touch of light to our lives. When I go into a class where the teachers are real excited and get involved with the students, they break the rut, said Ta- mara. Ruts were often predict- able, but not always boring. Some ruts made life simple. A day without ruts would be confusing, said junior Courtney Pierson. If you did something different everyday it would be stu- pid. For others, ruts were a habit of human life. Life would be the same because I would have other ruts to get into,', said junior Joe Hooks. Ruts were sometimes not as bad as they seemed. The school operated more effi- ciently because of them. Imagine, walking over the Patriot in Patriot Hall instead of walking around it, the principals not watch- ing the students eat lunch, or school starting at a dif- ferent time each day in- stead of the usual eight o'clock. -Copy by Jolynn Craig.

Labor Day, Thanksgiv- ing, Christmas, and Spring Break were some of the holidays students looked forward to. These holidays were most of the student's favorites, because they got out of school. My family and I went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and we sunbathed on the beach all the time, said sophomore Cara Taylor. Many people go on vaca- tions during holiday breaks. For instance, skiing is one of the most popular things to do over the winter breaks. Sophomore Tim Dodson stated, I love to go to Vail for skiing over Christmas break, I get to get away from school and am with my family. - Copy by-Tiffa- Although many people went out of town when they had time off from school, others stayed at home to work, sleep or simply un- wind.

My job at Whittaker's is a good one to start out with and to have during the school year because it doesn't take all of my timef, said Kurt Stegner, sophomore. Other students picked their jobs to help them get through school. I work at Bruce Alan Bags Etc . . . to help pay for my car, for extra spending money, and most impor- tantly, for the credit I get because of DECA, said Robin Williamson, senior. Others worked in certain jobs to help them decide on a career. I was interested in going to nursing school and thought working at West- ern Oaks Health Center would help me decide if I really wanted to be a nurse, said Margret O'Conner, senior. Other people liked their jobs for various reasons. I like my job because my boss is cool, I worked with friends and I can pick the days I want to work,', said Steve McConaghie, junior. Some students chose their job because of their goals in life. I work for Pop and Wil- son Construction Company because I enjoy working with my hands and the ex- perience helps me a lot, said Darin Tedford, senior. Others chose their jobs simply because of school. 'It doesn't interefere with my schoolwork, said Lau- rie Kilbourne, senior. Jobs are having some- thing to do. It's not a very hard job and it gives you extra mon- ey and something to do in your spare time, said Shel- ley Lewis, sophomore. How people obtained their jobs is as different as why they took them. A friend of mine told me they needed help at J.C. Student Life - Working For The Weekend Penney's and I needed ex- tra Christmas money so I went and applied, said Becky Ervin, senior. Even though some people had ordinary jobs, a few people had ones that were unusual in themselves. I chose writing songs by accident, I just sat down one night and wrote out a poem. I showed it to one of my friends who plays guitar and piano and he wanted to make a song out of it.', said Mike Marler, senior. Working for the fun of it is part of student's lives. I work mostly because I enjoy it and also the money comes in handy on Friday and Saturday nightsf, said Mike Marler, senior.

HI look forward to the weekend because I get the chance to spend time with my friends, said sopho- more Cheryl Tomberlin. Friends found some dif- ferent ways to spend time together and some different places to go. I like to go out with my friends and do stuff like shopping or go to the movie or to the lake, said sopho- more Lori Burns. Students found Cactus Jack's was a fun place to go on Friday and Saturday nights. There were plenty of things to do there that they enjoyed such as video games, pool, and people to meet. I go to Cactus Jackls be- cause that is where every- one is. People stop by to see who is there and it's a fun place to meet new people, said Teesha Clark, sopho- more. Students don't only come alive at night, although some sleep-in on Saturdays and Sundays, others do things like go shopping, go jogging, or go to a movie, or to church. I like to call my friends on the phone, and on Sun- day I go to church and eat Sunday dinner with my family, said Amy Davis, junior. Students had many dif- ferent reasons for getting out of the house for a while. A place to go to spend time with friends and just to see what the new fashions are, were just a few reasons for going out shopping. I go shopping because I love to spend money and something I I just have to a lot of guys the shopping Kristy Mar- when I see have to have buy it. Plus, hang out at mallsf' said shall, junior. Some students do not have time for the special ac- tivities that many students plan for all week. These students are the exception to the basic rule of weekend fun. I enjoy Working on the weekends because it gives me time to goof around with my friends after school. Though I have week nights off my weekends nights are a different story, I do not have much of a night life because of work,', said junior Paul Smith.

Seniors spend their twelfth year of school winding up one aspect of their lives and getting ready for an- other. To make it to gradu- ation many students set goals. For those students to reach their goals it took a lot of determina- tion and patience. I think I've reached my goals as long as I am kind and reach out to others, said Marla Ford. The last year of school is usually the busiest and the most fun for seniors. It takes a lot of preparation to make that final day seem perfect. To prepare for gradu- ation I had to order an- nouncements, senior jewel- ry, get fitted for my cap and gown, have my senior pic- tures taken, take my ACT and pass it, decide what col- lege I was going to attend, what dorm I would stay in, and who I would room with, said Karen Jagd, senior. For other students, pre- paring for graduation meant more than pictures and gowns. I prepared for gradu- ation by praying about where I would go after- wards, said Marla Ford. Before graduation ever even rolls around, there are decisions to be made about the future. When you are in high school the most important thing is getting your home work turned in on time. When letters started com- ing from O.U. and O.S.U., the most important thing is your future and what is go- ing to happen the rest of your life. It makes you stop and think, said Jim Sut- ton, senior. For other students, col- lege can mean more than just attending one. I plan on attending O.S.U. to get my business degree and then I'm going to O.U. to get my law de- gree, said Jim Sutton, sen- ior. Some seniors received scholarships which made college seem a little bit more exciting. I received a full football scholarship to O.S.U. I'll probably major in busi- nessf, said senior Mike Freeman. Some seniors spend their time after high school per- fecting their special talents. After graduation I plan on going to Roller Skating Regionals in June, that will be held in Lincoln, Nebras- ka. If I place there then I will get to go to National in August, said Tracy Brady, senior. One thought seemed to be on many senior's minds, thinking about the big day. Senior Jill McCartney, said, Just when I thought it was all over.I realized my life would just be begin- ning. Her thoughts were echoed by many students as they filed across the stage to receive their diplomas. - Copy by Susan Steele. UQ. X . 'N .

The staffs and I decided it would be great to share the time, said Ms. Patty Miller. After the publication staffs had been introduced, the assembly was turned over to the Pep Club, and the fight song brought the students to their feet. As chants of West is Best and Beat P.C.', rang out, a new one was heard, one that hadn,t been heard in over two years. At first it was only a few football players, but it caught on. O.J.'s presence was being shouted loud and clear. After the cheers died down, princi- pal Gary Webb spoke to the student body about what O.J. stood for. As he continued, an awed silence fell over the auditorium. He challenged the students to prove to his 'jury', the nine teachers who had been at West since the day it opened, that O.J. was really alive. If they came through, the jury would be presented to the students at the next assembly, each wearing an It's Alive - O.J.'s spirit shirt. , Mini Mag - OJ Spirit 1 K The next few weeks were filled with football games, hall decorating contests and school spirit, but one thing stood out clear, O.J. was alive. Two weeks later at the homecom- ing assembly, Mr. Webb again spoke to the student body. And again, a silence fell over the gym. Then, as 'Eye of the Tiger' was blasted out over the gym, the students rose to their feet because the jury was walk- ing out onto the floor with their O.J. shirts on. The verdict was in, O.J. lives! In 1969, Osgood J. Bumpkin was brought to life by a former faculty member. In 1981, he was laid to rest by the students and administration, and in September 29 at the Pirate Burial the Patriots brought him back to life. Spirit filled students were found participating in activities. Above: Seniors Jon Jones, David Allen, Greg Branch Dennis Balisino and Mark Sexton limbo under the spirit stick at a football game.

By Freida Barrow Pi y 8 est Weeks bring students closer Participation was the key to this year's line of succesful weeks. The first week of school was Howdy Week, which was the first attempt at welcoming everyone back to school. Part of Howdy Week included O.P. Day and Drive-a Sophomore to Lunch Day. One of the most well - liked weeks was Sink Week, used to help raise the spirit for the P.C. game. An assembly held on Friday also boosted the school spirit and O.J. was brought back to life. Pat Week followed including Preppie Day and Aloha Day. This week was also Homecoming Week. The last week of the '83 year was Thank-You Week. This week was for showing appreciation to staff, friends and O.J.

Yelling and cheering at games was second nature to some. We have a great time at games, especially the ones where we can get rowdy, said Dennis Balsano, senior. For some, the dances held after games gave people something to do besides going home or cruising. Instead of everyone going out to 39 to drag, it was a nice change to go to the dances, said Mary O'Toole, senior. I had so much fun just danc- ing with my friends, she added. Jamming became the 'thing' to do. When Michael Jackson's songs were played, things started to happen on the dance floor, said Sonja Ward, junior. Although some parents disap- proved of concerts on week-nights, students still attended the many concerts held by various major art- ists. Because of the demand for tick- ets, the Petra concert didn't last that long. They had to perform twice that night, said Jolynn Craig, sopho- more. It was great anyway. To celebrate the schoolls sixteenth birthday, the Student Council and class officers sponsored 'Sweet 16g West on Wheels,' a birthday party for the school and students, on March 25. Students played games and ate cupcakes and cake. Party pictures were taken and sold to remember the schoolis Sweet Sixteen birthday party.

The football team had finished with an outstanding record and the Lady Pa- triots softball team had won the state 5A championship. O.J. was alive and students found a renewed interest in school activities. Record number crowds attended games and during pep assemblies the gym rocked with West spirit and pride. Amidst all of this came the Thanksgiving Assem- bly. As students, faculty and past graduates filled the auditorium, peo- ple backstage readied themselves for what would be a memorable tribute to friends, the school and O.J. There was a human slide show, de- picting the before and after of O.J. at West. Senior Jim Sutton sang his re- dition of an old song, Be True To Your School . Bands played, people sang and tributes were given, all in thanks. I think that the Thanksgiving As- sembly was one of the best holiday assemblies West has seen in a long time, said teacher Mr. Wayne Mor- gan. All in all, the Thanksgiving As- sembly gave students a chance to show thanks to some of the most im- portant things in their life, and they did. The spirit was at its peak.

The cheerleaders, twirlers and Pep Club rose to their feet, with the rest of the students joining in. Chants broke out and a battle of the classes began with each section trying to out yell each other with their graduating year. This routine was followed for al- most every pep assembly, with only the entertainment differing. The twirlers and cheerleaders usu- ally performed a routine that was let- ter perfect.

Six sen- ior guys dressed up as cheerleaders and did a routine to Jump , I was pretty embarrassed when I did it, said participant Jim Sutton, but it was so much fun to be out there! The major purpose of a pep assem- bly was to raise the spirit of the school, and that they did.

North Central was here the Week of November the 14 through the 16. Commit- tees were formed and the evaluating began. The administration and teachers worked many hours preparing for North Central. SHI felt that we were as prepared s possible for North Central, said Mr. Gary Webb, principal. Preparations began last year. The teachers were shown a movie and a brief talk was given about the evaluation system. Vice-principal Jerry Rickerts was the chairman for the steering committee. He found the hotel rooms for the evaluators and orga- nized the evaluation. It was a study of the school and the community. They did not judge on whether the students were smart of if the teachers taught well. The graded on how the school ran as a whole. They decided if the students were being taught the right programs and if the curriculum was up to date. They were impressed with the cleanliness of the schoolj' said Webb. North Central ave a brief sum- mary of their evaluation be- fore they left. They were impressed with the courte- sy of the students and the specialized courses such as computer programming. A few things needed to be changed. The committees would like to see a perm- nent wrestling room and extra rooms converted for storage. The evaluation does our school, or any school a lot of good by keeping us on the right track, said Mrs. Gayle Miller, media spe- cialist, the results of one evaluation was the teach- er's prepatory hour. That went over real big. Overall the evaluation turned out well. The ad- ministration and faculty can sit back and relax for another seven years. -Copy by Jolynn Craig. North Central - Student Life , Planned activities, spontaneous meetings make it Worth it in School was not just a place to study and Work. There were also many activities and organizations to be- come involved in. Many students found that by getting involved in an organiza- tion they were interested in, they could learn While having fun and also meet and make new friends. There were many different reasons to join a club. Some students joined a club because they were interested in a career in that particular field. Others joined a club for fun, because they Wanted to get involved. Everyone that was involved received something in return.

The Drama Club put on Pandemonium II, try- ing to get as much of the school involved in the talent show as possible. President of the Dra- ma Club, Macy Cook, senior, said The Drama students used to be la- beled but this year we haven't heard any labels at all. More people are coming to performances, and the club seems clos- er, like they are learning something even if it's just a simple smile. Mu Alpha Theta is a club for math students. It's sort of an honor so- ciety for math students because to be a member you must be enrolled in Algebra II, said senior president Chris Mo- linsky. The Cosino Casino, a gambling party held in the cafeteria, involved many students and the purpose was to give the students a fun way to ap- ply math skills. The clubs got students working together to make students more in- terested in school and what they were involved in. -Copy by Cara Tay- lor. Art, Drama, and Mu Alpha Theta - Parties , 9 Parties that were held by the language clubs gave language students something to do that wasn't so routine. The Latin, German, French, and Spanish clubs had parties throughout the year. Students attended these parties to have fun and to be with people that they had something in common with. The French club had a real fun party at David and Jack Savages house and lot of people went. We had lots of fun learn- ing how to cook crepes, said Marcie Harris, soph- omore. These language clubs always had some type of activity going on. The Latin club held a toga party in the school cafeteria and students WW came dressed up in their togas. They sang songs and played games there. Mike McBride, Latin club member, said, The toga party was really fun dressing up in togas. Ev- eryone looked funny. We had lots of fun, it was something different to do. The Spanish club had parties and they went out to eat at Mexican food restaurants. One time we went to Ninos Mexican restaurant. It P was fun getting together with everybody outside of the usual school ac- tivities, said John Spooner. These extra-curricular activities added to the students classroom ex- perience. Getting togeth- er with fellow classmates outside of class allowed language club members to gain insight into the culture from which the different languages origi- nated. One of the ways in which students exper- ienced foreign culture was by the sampling of various foreign dishes. The Latin, German, French, and Spanish clubs gave students the opportunity to break the monotony of the normal school routine. Club members gained a sense of fulfillment by doing things with other lan- guage students and rounding out the class- room experience. -Copy by Mickie Peak. 50' To do something out of the ordi- nary routine, various Spanish club members meet to eat Mexican food at Ninos. -Photo by Mike Thomp- I son.

Some students read material over and over, others wrote things down so the information would remain in their memory. One sure way to learn is to actually have the experience. The National Foren- sics League was a club that competed in speech. Each contest provided each individual with a different learning exper- ience. People can tell you about your first contest, how it is run and what to expect, but until you are there and actually exper- ience it, you have no idea what it is like, said sen- ior vice-president of NFL 'Ferry Tiller, junior. Contests provided stu- dents with a chance to feel competitive. At my first contest I learned everything about judges, NFL points and how exciting it can be when you win,', said sophomore Robin Walk- er. The Spanish club went to Mexico to learn on lo- cation.

Then they went to Acapulco and went on a cruise. After that they went to the beach. The Student Council also learned by being on location. They went to the Oklahoma Associ- ation of Student Coun- cils meeting in July. Some of the officers at- tended the meeting at Central State University and the others attended at Northeastern Oklaho- ma State University in Tahlequah. They learned how to run Student Council ef- fectively, student rela- tionships and how to deal with problems that would arise during the year. The Student Council also attended the state Student Council meeting held in November at Ed- mond and went to differ- ent seminars. There they were given a hypotheti- cal question and they discussed it with other Student Council officers. We learned at these meetings how to face sit- uations before they arose during the year, said senior parliamentarian Marla Ford. -Copy by Jolynn Craig. 2 I 3 l I 5 .

NFL - Location Education ' x HBack to basics lost in whirlwind of technology through classes in r 9' iq-Q, ' With all of the new ad- , Vances put to use, the school and its academic programs were worth it! School started basically in the early days. English, math, penmanship, histo- ry, and science were the subjects taught. Now, with more teachers skilled in many areas, academics have become very complicated. From bread made from scratch to the most sophisticated of computers, students learned skills needed for life on their own. Many new areas have opened up for students to participate in. A computer programming class was started and the journalism department bought a new typesetter with the help of Mr. Gary Webb, principal. Some students found that Going for the Gold!68- 71 was worth their time and effort, while others felt that there was no substitute for Hands On!72-77 ex- perience. Every student was required to learn something about the Past, Present, and Future!78-79. Homework!80-83 was a necessary part of some classes. Learning a Foreign Language!84-85 helped many students gain understanding of the world. Deadlines!86-89 were made and missed many times throughout the year. Along the physical lines, Haulin' Weight!90-91 helped students to build up their bodies and Showing Off!92-95 gave students a chance to perform.

Academics Division ' 67 68 o Going for the Gold - Honor Honors classes Extra Work brings learn at an reward in classe acce Honors classes required more time and class participation. Honors classes tend to be more difficult than regular classes. Also, since more capable students take honors classes, the methods used can be more varied and sophisticat- ed in naturej' said Honors Ameri- can History teacher Mr. Bobby Loper. The program for the gifted and talented students in the school sys- tem was mainly an enrichment pro- gram. The goal was to provide extra ac- tivities and learning opportunities in addition to regular class Work. Even though the class took more time and no extra credit they still seemed to Work it into their sched- ule. In Mrs. O'Daniel's class we do things that we Wouldn't normally get to do in a regular class. We've learned about nutrition and how to handle social problems.

Learning experience for the work world came from actually doing the work, whether outside of school or in a structured classroom. Such classes as Record Keeping, I.C.E., D.E., and C.O.E. offered this type of instruction for practical experience. Classroom experiences showed students how to take on responsible positions in future jobs. Students enrolled in these classes held interviews, listened to speak- ers, and were able to gain knowl- edge from outside sources. These classes involved competi- tive experiences as well. They al- lowed students to compete against each other to benefit themselves. Students could hold offices in some of the classes, which helped them get used to responsibilities similiar to job-related positions. Students dealt one-on-one with problems. When real experience was need- ed, these classes had possibilities for providing it. -Copy by Lisa Newbum.

LaTonya Howard, sophomore, said, I took clothing because it is one of my career choices. I felt that it would be to my advantage to enroll in it. Most students in Fashion Mer- chandising want to have a career like this, but lots of them also want to manage or own a fashion store. Salli Herriott, junior, said, This class offers me a start in un- derstanding fashion. In their class, they do projects relating to apparel and accessories and do fashion shows at nearby malls. For students thinking of the fu- ture and living on their own they found Independent Living a help. It offers me a different outlook on being on my own, said senior, Mandy Knipe. For a practical part of some stu- dents' school lives Vo Tech courses were taken. Bryan Bevel, senior, is going to be a welder when he gets out of school. He has taken two years of it.

Students taking Architectural Drawing I 8z II learn how to make plans for home and commercial use. Junior Glen Collins said, I really like this class, it helps me with drafting work. Mechanical Drawing is a class where students can learn how to de- sign houses, buildings, as well as other things. Junior Joe Hooks said, I learn how to make Mechanical devices.

Junior Stacey Myers says, This class is very valuable and informative. It has really pre- i pared me for the future. l Photography is a class where the 'students learned how to handle a jcamera, know the parts, take pic- tures, and develop them. Home Economics dealt with only food and clothing. When making food the students also learned how to set a dinner table. The students always pinned their hair up and wore aprons. The teacher, Mrs. Dorthy Phillips, tried to teach the students how it really was in the kitchen world. Getting to make your own cloth- ing was pretty exciting. It gave the student's minds a chance to be cre- ative. Not only did the students get to make their own clothing, at the same time they got to learn how to use a sewing machine. Independent Work Study includ- Hands-On 3 Horticulture. Home Economics, ed the Cooperative Program. The program provided students with su- pervised work experience coordi- nated with classroom instruction. Student trainees attend school part-time and also received super- vised work experience under work- ing conditions. Horticulture was a class where the students worked with all sorts of plants. They learned how to grow the plants in the right kind of light- ing and heat. -Copy by Dee Dee De- Vore.

Learning about things that hap- pened in the past were the World History, American History, and Ge- Jgraphy classes. These classes con- centrated on special events and 'amous people of the past. Huynh Vu, sophomore, said, I 'eally enjoyed studying World His- zory and I really did get a lot out of .he class. At first I really did think .hat it was hard, but once I got the hang of it, it was a breeze. The English classes focused on grammar, literature, and spelling. They learned about the library pro- gram and how to look up references for report and for their own person- al use. Students went to the library to find information to help them with assignments for English, history and careers classes. The Guidance Information System was new this year. It was a computerized service to provide information about ca- reers and colleges. Students would make an appointment with Mrs. Gayle Miller and she would help them put in a career they were in- terested in and it would print out what colleges have courses in that career. Helping to prepare for the future were the careers courses. They re- viewed many different jobs to help the students find something they would enjoy doing. Taking these courses helped many students to learn about the past and to be prepared for the fu- ture. -Copy by Christi Collins. .,, I -C --if 2-T11 .. I Past.

Majorettes practice every day after school to make new routines and prepare for upcoming perfor- mances. Besides twirling at games and assemblies, twirlers competed at contests such as State District and made all 'Ones'. Going to contest also included the band and flag corps. Early morning practices were necessary to improve marching techniques and flag corp routines. Making 'Ones' were important to the band so they could win 'Sweepstakes', which proved the practices and hard work paid off. -Copy by Stacey Kellogg.

I love the subject I have taught at junior highs in Putnam City and for me 'West is Best'. The over-all atmosphere of the administration and facul- ty is very professionally oriented and many stu- dents take math because they want to, not because they have to. Mrs. Judy Jolliff My students come back and tell me I've suc- ceeded in teaching them and that they are not hav- ing trouble with college. It's not the money, it's the students. Mr. Wayne Morgan Staying until 8:30 or 9:00 at night, or working Saturdays, doesn't seem worth it at the time, but when I see a newspaper come out, or the complet- ed yearbook at the end of the year, I look back on all the work and realize that it was all worth it to me. Ms. Patty Miller If I look for a bright spot or at least one posi- tive reaction, no matter how large or small, it makes each day worth while.

Not only the lives of stu- dents, but also the lives of parents and citizens revolved around the school and its activities. For football games, club parties, and all social events, the whole town would turn out. Now, families are more involved in projects outside of the school and time is divided between the school and the community. School is still important, but the com- munity plays a part in each of the stu- dents lives.

Sophomore Neely Mea- dor said, I go to church to learn more about God, and to better understand the Bible and to figure out my standing on faith. Young Life met every Tuesday night at a differ- ent student's house. The first Campus Life meeting was held at Chad LaFaras. They watched films from the summer and went swimming. Sharing fun and faith, these groups gave students an opportunity to get to- gether. Sophomore Amy West said, the main reason I go is because they accept any- one who wants to come and when you go you feel equal to everyone else. Its fun to go and we talk about Christ and everyone unites. You really make a lot of good friends and you really be- come best buddies with the people there. Upper Room was held on Friday mornings and many students attended the meetings that were held at 7:30 a.m. Sophomore Robyn Love- lady who attended the meetings regularly said, I really enjoyed going to Up- per Room. There were usu- ally good speakers. And we would talk about different things. Since it was in the mornings if you went it would make your day seem a little better. It made you look at it with a better atti- tude. All of these groups gave students a chance to get to know different people and to just be themselves. - Copy by Mickie Peak. .l.l...f At a meeting Young Life leaders Jim Taylor and Dorris Miller il- lustrate their topic for that meet- ing. -Photo by Jeff Shilling. 14 0 Community - Fellowship On Friday mornings at West some students would meet for Bible study.

A lot of the time my Iliends and I would spend r evenings shopping and looking in all the stores,', said Kim Fulton, sopho- more. Sometimes, to find fun, students traveled out of town and went to Six Flags Over Texas or Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. I went to Six Flags over Texas this summer and it was so hot we had to wait in line two hours for almost every ride but over all it was pretty fun, said soph- omore Shanda Simmons. Most people went to these places with their friends, but occasionally out of state trips required going with your parents. I like doing things with my friends because it's bet- ter being with people your own age. Parents just don't thrill me, replied Karla Dorris, sophomore. Whether students stayed around their home or trav- eled out of town, they all found ways to have fun. - Copy by Christi Collins. 5 n X ,- II ity ' 3 Mi' . .

Art themes may stay on exhibits from three weeks to three months. Art stu- dents could be seen viewing the art exhibits.

The Oklahoma Ballet Company offered another dimension to the apprecia- tion of yet another art form. Lori Burns, sophomore, said, Going to the ballet with my friend and her family was a new exper- ience to me, and is worth another trip. The Myriad helps pro- duce live concerts and more. Many music groups could be seen live. It's ex- citing to see the groups live, that you can see everyday on MTV. said senior Briana Gilleran. Western paintings, sculp- ture, and weaving could be seen at the National Cow- boy Hall of Fame. A part of learning was ex- posing ourselves to a diver- sity of art forms. Students saw forms and exhibits that were liked and disliked. This self satisfaction, self esteem, and self awareness, made many students more interesting because of their appreciation of art. -Copy by Cara Taylor. ? m 'wmv J ' Weekends can be used to learn about the old West at The Nation- al Cowboy Hall of Fame learns Roger Carrillo, junior. -Photo by Randy Alvarado. , Community - Arts ' abound ' . e ,gg ,L , .ypfvl M V Zi p :A , G its X, 2 Wi, X, , 4 .3 1 'lv Colorful and quiet time is what David Hadley, junior, receives at the Will Rogers Rose Gardens after a long day at school. -Photo by Michael Watts.

He had fewest fumbles out of 164 carries and he also rushed for 253 yards twice this year in one game. Coach Little said, Jeff is an in- spiration to everyone? There were other records set by fine players. Senior Russ Landon had the most unassisted tackles in one game. There were juniors who also did well on the field. Steve Kennedy had the best average per recep- tion. , Varsity football kicker Chip Imel made two field goals in the game of Moore.

The J.V. team, made up of mostly juniors and some sophomores, held their own in games like the Lawton game on October 24 which they won 20 to 14. This year was a year to improve football skills and build the team. The J.V. team did have many good games such as the P.C. game which they won 21 to 0 and the Enid game which they won 20 to 0. Different players had different games they looked forward to. Mustang is the game I looked most forward to because if we could win, our record would be eight and one, said Jimmy Gibbs, sophomore. Spirit was credited as a major factor for the team's winning sea- son. Having O.J.'s spirit at the games is what our team expects. He came back to be with our team and he's going to stay, said Coach Jay Reagan. Spirit is something that every team needs, and the student's spirit this year has really helped, said Kyle Kuykendall, junior. To make varsity is what every J .V. football player wants to achieve. The varsity team made up of mostly seniors, has a record of six and three. One of their most important game was the P.C. game which they won 28 to 13. The team worked preparing for the Football' t elfth man back game. If you get too excited too early in the day you are tired when it's time to play. You have to think about it all day and that night you're ready. We were fired up for the P.C. game all day, said Rich- ard Foster, senior. To some of the team members the P.C. game was the one to win. Winning the homecoming foot- ball game against Norman 25 to 3 was very important and there was a lot of pressure put on the team by the members. We always seem to play better when there's something on the line or something to shoot for, said Barry Northcutt, senior.

To capture the title of state softball champions of 1983. The road leading to champion- ship began September 29 and took the Lady Patriots to Glen- pool, Oklahoma where the coveted title of state champions waited. With the good luck cry of Roll Pats, Roll and a murmured pray- er, West's Lady Pats began their trail to state with a 1-0 victory over Putnam City. They went on to beat Norman and Ardmore in the regional games 1-0 and 17-0. Then came the state tourna- ment. The Lady Pats first faced Broken Arrow. The game most important to me was the game with Broken Arrow, said senior Kim Spillman. lt was our first state game and from there it was either win or lose. The girls rolled right past them 4-0. The Lady Pats finished their 28-2 season by winning the state title in a town previously un- known to most with a 9-0 victory over the defending state champi- ons, the Bartlesville Lady Bruins. Suddenly all the long, hot prac- tices and sore muscles and skinned knees didn't matter. The hard work of pulling together to make a team seemed worthwhile.

In the Putnam City North game they won in double overtime 50 to 48 and the Norman game was won 57 to 49. The sophomore and junior var- sity basketball teams prepared for games in many different ways.

Junior varsity boys basketball Coach Charles Moore added his plan. We have a chalk talk right before the game and discuss offensive and defensive plays, he said. Some basketball players thought that all junior varsity is about is preparing for varsity. But coach Charles Moore explained that it doesn't have to be that way. Some players can work their way into varsity within the same year by Working hard in junior varisty,', he said. A team required a lot of ingredients to make it good.

We were disappointed with the record, but the kids played hard and improved greatly. I'm proud of the players not giving up and of them working hard, said Coach Rick Kersey. Although it wasn't a winning season, the varsity team did beat Capitol Hill 65 to 55 and South- east 61 to 48. Varsity boys had a competitive season. Midwest City was our hardest game because they had a lot of speed and they were good ath- letes, said David Dunkin and Jer- ry Stillings, seniors. Players found preparation for games was long and the work-outs hard. It didn't end there, before preparation was important. We go over offensive and de- fenive plays, we talk about the team we are going to play, and we talk about the things we do in practice, replied Coach Kersey.

Sports - Junior Varsity Girls Basketball -Mg n an almost empty gym, the girls junior varsity basketball team began their quest for victory. It is not the absence of support or attendance that has hindered the team, it is the absence of girls who are not playing basketball, said Coach Mickey Heath. The team consisted of juniors and sophomores. Plagued by injuries, the girls went from ten players to only sev- en players in a matter of weeks, which made the team even small- er. Junior forward Nicole Lepak, junior guard Dee Moore, and sophomore Susan Holly all suf- fered leg injuries before the season was over. In spite of their injuries and size, the team still had power. During mid-season, the team had five wins and only two losses. The losses came from Moore and Yu- kon. Althouth the power was there the team was still hindered by the lack of players. Before the junior varsity season was over, the team had to forfeit the rest of their games. I think this season has went real well considering the small number of girls playing, said ju- nior forward Nicole Lepak. All of the work on junior varsity goes for someday playing varsity. We have had a good season, but some of the players are limited to the time they can play because Junior Var ity provides players experience they also play varsity, said junior forward Jean Skarky. Lots of practice goes into a team that wants to become a varsity team. We usually practice between two and two-and-one-half hours a day with the varsity,', said sopho- more forward Teresa Liebl. The experience of playing ju- nior varsity was beneficial. When you play junior varsity basketball it prepares you for var- sity, said Nicole Lepak. -Copy by Jolynn Craig. -QJL as 1 D - - 'Z-4 ' g ,--'f . 5 Na we f- Q E L LX' 1 1, .

Not only did experience help in being successful, but other factors also contributed. We are finally learning how to play the game and work together as a team, said Dee Moore, junior guard. Working a play until a score was made, or playing good forward de- fense, keeping the opponent from scoring and getting the ball back to the forwards all took individual effort to pull through as a whole and form a team. Hard work and long hours of practice became Worth it when a game went well or an individual made an exceptional good play. When I make a good play and the crowd cheers it helps my con- fidence which makes me go and play harder and probably make another good play,', said senior guard Paula Jay. The goal for most teams is to have a good season, win regionals, and go on to state. We have a good team and lots of depth. I do not think that it is out of our reach for us to make it to state. It is something we are striving for, said junior guard Michelle Allen. Hard work and determination led to a successful season. After getting off to a shaky start, the Lady Patriots steadied themselves and began the longest winning streak in class Five-A girls basket- ball. A turn-around season came with long hours of practice, exper- ience and most of all, teamwork. - Copy by Jolynn Craig.

Varsity wrestling practice was long and strenuous. Their prac- tices lasted from two to two-and- a-half hours each day. It depended on whether they had a match the next day or not. At the beginning of practice, wrestlers did stretches and drills, and learned new techniques. They spent the rest of the time putting new techniques to prac- tice. At the end of their long, hard hours, they had to run or lift weights. The highlights of most match- es are when there is good competi- tion between wrestlers and you win or get a fall, said Coach Bob Diefenderfer. The wrestlers won five games and had eight losses. There were a couple of injuries. Danny Hamider pinched a mus- cle, and Brent Humphries da- maged the cartilage in his knee. Fellow wrestlers were very sup- portive while their teammates were on the mats. During the match, pressure was felt not only by the wrestlers, but by everyone. Another injury that plagued the team was weight. Wrestlers needed to maintain the same weight all season. We had to ear dominated by returning restlers maintain the same weight all sea- son. Usually before a match we went to International and ran in plastic suits in order to lose weight, said junior Tim Hummle. We also milked the cow. Milk- ing was a system of push-ups done in order to tone their bodies. Even though the supporters were not on the mats wrestling, some had the same feelings as if they were right there with the team members sharing the victory and the pain. -Copy by Cheryl Ed- lin.

After a disappointing first round loss, Trent beat three of the top seniors in the state to place third. Jimmy, who also lost the championship in the first round, came back and beat two seniors one of which was highly ranked. West only lost one senior, Trent Hickey, who had been the team's outstanding wrestler the past two seasons.

Instead of practicing outside in the cold weather they just moved everything inside and ran the halls. The same went for the track meets. On January 20 the West track team participated in an in- door track meet at the Myraid. Ju- nior Will Smith placed in the high jump with a 317 of a point. Every team had their most valuable athletes and track was no exception.

I became a Bell Ringer, said senior Bell Ring- er, Greg Branch. From that time on, the athletic realm hasn't been the same to me. Patriot events became obsessions.

This year though, I was caught up in the revived spirit of O.J. and I not only started going to the basketball games, but I also got involved in the cheering, said Eddie Stanton, sen- ior. Many other students also felt that Osgood J. Bumpkin added extra excitement to the games. Patriot fans had proved themselves true blue , and were worthy of the saying We're number one! .

Spending every day practicing wasn't real fun, but it all paid off in the end. Whenever we had good practices we played good games, said sophomore basketball player Grant Gocke. Running laps, lifting weights and going over and over plays were a few of the things that team members did during their practices. We have hard workouts on some days and on others its just the usual. When we are learning something new we practice it over and over un- til we get it right,', said junior varsity player, sophomore Stacey Rhodes. Often the end result of all the long workouts was a crowd pleasing game. We knew that our practices were worthwhile when we played a game that our fans and coaches liked. Even if we didn't win, we knew we had done our best by the response we got, said Bernard Ramsey, senior, varsity basketball player. At the end of a season, after all the games were over, the players realized that all the practices were worth it. tices helped to perfect team members and their seasons.-Photos by Jan Lyon, Jennifer O'De11 and Tracey Deathe. l' T.1r P'l S.'

We held hands in the huddle to show that we were all in it together, not just eleven guys out there trying to play a game. It represented us being one.

After a big play, players were often seen up in the air, with a finger held high, saying more than We're num- ber one but, We did it. There were the times when players needed each other for another kind of support. Whenever we lost a big game, or some costly mistakes made us lose and the crowd was upset, the other players were always there to say 'I understandi That was the biggest kind of support said senior Kevin Mercer.

With technical problems galore behind the stage, and attitude problems within the audience, it was a wonder the show came off at all. In spite of all that went on, the talent show came off suprisingly well, said Ms. Jan Bradley, drama teacher. From the first act until the judges disappeared to tally the votes, the talent was ap- parent. I really enjoyed the talent show. I was suprised to see so many students turn out, but I was embarrased to see some of them act so tacky, Mrs. Cindy Cason, journalism stu- dent teacher said.

Judges came from KATT and KJ103's radio stations and television's PM Maga- zine and,Dariny's day. The Drama Department rented a limousine to bring the five judges. Prizes were awarded to winners in each of the cate- gories: dance, vocal, instru- mental, band, and miscella- neous. Movie passes and din- ners for two were given to winners in each of the cate- gories. The grand prize winners re- ceived fifty dollars. Roger Oliver and his Jazz band took this honor. Publicity for the talent show continued long after it ended. Pat Welsch, from the KATT talked of our talent for weeks.

Howev- er, the practical science classes went a step further to give their contributions to the Oklahoma City Zoo. They adopted an An- dean Condor. My students asked me what I had got my wife for Christmas and I said I had adopted and animal from the zoo for her, said practi- cal science teacher Mr. Bob Mel- ton. The kids raised one hundred dollars for the adoption price by just putting their own money to- gether. Adopting the condor did Lndex - Condor Story not entail taking the bird home, but their money went toward feed- ing costs. Each student received a certificate, a button and a bumper sticker saying they had adopted the bird. I feel the Condor is a remark- able animal and smart because he doesn't waste time catching food. He eats dead things. I'm proud to keep this bird alive, said Troy Manchester, sophomore. Seeing the posters and pictures hung all over their science room was enough to tell anyone that they were the proud parents of the Andean Condor. l 1 1 1 Maddux, Donna 128 Keyser, Kyndal 8, 20, 48, 59, 61 116, 130 Kersey, Rick 136 Keywanettes 53 Kilbourne, Laurie 30, 104, 111 Kile, Larry 61, 93, 104 Killian, Sue 104 Kimball, Tracy 127 King, Brian 33, 50, 87 King, Kenneth 117, 127, 150 King, William 127 Kinney, Todd 127 Kirby, Kirby, Kim 110 Larry 127 Kirk, Larry 116 Kirk, Mike 104 Kirksey, Michelle 61, 72, 93, 104 Kitchell, Pam 116, 133 Kliewer, Chris 116 Klingler, Chris 61, 127 Klopfinstein, Nancy 50 , 116 Kelley 127, 181 v KUHPP, Knaus, Mike 104 Knight, Doreen 63, 127 Knight, Jim 48, 104, 163 Knight, Kelly 110, 120, 133, 154, 155 Knight, Robert 127, 150 Knipe, Mandy 37, 59, 61, 104 Koehn, Candy 63, 104 Koehn, Gregg 104 Koelsch, Julie 50, 59, 116 Koenig, Frank 23, 104 Kraft, Sandy 136 Krase, Jimmy 116 Krodel, Andy 50, 93, 116 Kroeker, Teresa 81, 93, 104 Kutneski, Diane 118 Kuykendall, Kyle 9, 50, 52, 63, 102, 116 Kysar, Jeff 48, 35, 52, 104, 150, 191 LaFara, Chad 116, 150, 168, 169 Lagaly, Pauline 135 Lamb, Tamera 104 Lance, Sondra 48, 128 Lance, Sonny 116 Landon, Russ 8, 13, 35, 61, 91, ' 104, 107, 126, 187 Lane, Tari 116 'Lang, Kellie 116 Lange, Roger 104 ansing, Michelle 128 arason, Dalan 53, 128, 169 atham, David 50, 128 atin Club 50 averde, Norma 59, 116, 133 awrence, Lisa 50, 59, 87, 128, 176 e, Tam 48, 77, 81, 104 eal, Valentina 61 ebedz, Linda 136 ee, Allan 104, 108 ee, Jennifer 49, 59, 128 ee, Lynda 48, 61, 63, 104 eeper, Michele 61, 63, 116, 140 eforce, Michelle 116 eg, Grant 104 emon, Robert 116 ePak, Nicole 48, 59, 116 ewellen, Virginia 50, 128 ewis, Kurt 128, 169 ewis, Shelley K. 15, 49, 104, 125, 128 ewis, Shelly D. 20, 30, 48, 133 ey, Grant 48, 50 eyerle, Kevin 104 eyva, Miguel 128 eyva, Rosalinda 63, 116 ieber, Joe 116 ieber, Veronica 27, 48, 59, 128, 130 Liebl, Teresa 128, 166 Lightner, Stephanie 61, 128, 159 Lillenas, Shali 50, 104 Lindquist, Kristie 104 Lindquist, Scott 116 Lindsey, John 116 Little, Lori 59, 128 Little, Mike 136 Locke, James 128, 150, 176 Locke, Leslie Ann 48, 50, 104, 149 Lockwood, Robert 93, 104 Loeffelholz, Craig 105, 116 Logsdon, Lezley 12, 59, 61, 105, 109, 154, 158, 176, 187 Long, Jennifer 59, 105, 187 Long, Lissa 59, 94, 128 Loper, Bob 136 Lord, Gina 116, 133 Lorey, Howard 49, 116, 150 Loudermilk, Randy 105 Lovelady, Robin 59, 61, 128, 130 Lowther, Tracey 17, 50, 61, 116 Loyd, Judy 135 Lucas, Don 105 Luecke, Jon 31, 105 Lugo, Belen 61, 63, 105 Luna, Brian 105 Luper, Devin 116 Lynn, Sam 1, 158, 159 Lyon, Gina 33, 62, 75, 105 Lyon, Janice 49, 59, 116, 133 Madison, Dale 136 Majors, Rod 128 Malone, Tami 50, 117, 155 Manchester, Troy 117 Manchester, Tony 128 Mankin, Ann 135 Mansfield, Melissa 105 March, Julie 48, 50, 78, 117, 124, 133, 176 Marek, Timothy 10, 94, 128 Marler, Michael 30, 105, 61, 143 Marsh, Dianne 117 Marshall, Blaine 128 Marshall, Kristene 33, 117 Martens, Bernie 128, 130, 143 Martin, Brent 128 Martin, Buddy 140 Martin, Glenda 105 Martin, Jana Michelle 48, 49, 124, 128, 133 Martin, Krystal 128 Martin, Timothy 117 Martinex, Tommy 105 Martz, Theresa 128 Masterson, Audrey 56, 61, 117, 158 Matheson, Lucille 49, 50, 105 Matlock, Barbara 137 May, Adrian 105 May, John 128 May, Kelly 105 May, Tammy 117 Mayer, Vince 105 Mayer, Shawn 117, 145 McBride, Michael 48, 50, 53, 61, 94, 128, 176, 177 McCain, Michelle 176, 177 McCann, Andrew 48, 128 McCartney, Jill 59, 60, 61, 87, 106 McCollaum, Bridgett 87, 128 McConaghei, Steve 30, 117, 163 McCorkle, Kyle 106 McCormick, Marcus 48, 128 McCorvey, Ray 63, 117 McCoy, Janelle 49, 128 McCoy, Sean 128 McCoy, Stephen 117 McCrary, Trudy 87, 128 McCraw, Mike 93, 117 McDonald, Kelly 106 McDonald, Lori 62, 106 McEntire, Mike 117 McEver, Jeannie 75, 128 McEvers, Mark 50, 117, 143, 158, 174 McFarland, Matthew 77, 93, 117 McGarraugh, Sherry 48, 49, 50, 128 McGinty, Keith 48, 106 McGinty, Susan 93, 117 McGrath, John 135 McHeffy, Robert 137 McKeever, Shannon 117, 118 McKelvey, Tommy 31, 48, 90, 106, 150, 151, 185 McKinney, James 48, 61 McKinnon, Jana 48, 59, 129 McLaughlin, Tim 158 McMain, Angela 106 McManaman, Scott 106, 143 McMullin, Shelley 49, 95, 106 McNabb, Chuck 106 McNabb, Troy 106 McPhail, Gerald 137 McPhail, Mark 61, 117, 150 McVay, Stacy 87, 129 Meacham, Kyrn 10, 61, 86, 87, 89, 117, 122, 141 Meador, Granger 16, 30, 48, 81, 105 Meador, Jamie 129 Meador, Lori 105, 129 Meador, Neeley 17, 112, 118, 129 Meadows, Lisa 117 Mell, Bradley 93, 129 Melton, Bob 137 Mercer, Kevin 14, 105, 150 Michael, Cecil 22, 93, 117 Milam, Debbie 117, 121 Milius, Len 105 Miller, Angela 12, 60, 61, 8 Miller, Catherine 50, 105 Miller, Ernie 105 Miller Gayle 135 Miller, Michelle 117 Miller, Karen 117 Miller, Kathy 117 .

Head Photographer Tracey Deathe, senior, won three awards given monthly by the Oklahoma Interscholastic Press Association which made her eligible for State Photographer of the year. Tracey also won All-American in Sports Photography at the National Press Association Conference in St. Louis, Missouri. Other photographers that con- tributed a great deal to the book were juniors Jennifer O'Dell, Ken- dall Keyser, and Bobby Bolles. They spent most of their time with cameras around their necks, taking pictures, or doing darkroom work. Other senior photographers were Jay Joyner, Randy Alvarado, Mike Thompson and Tracey Deathe. Other juniors were Kyle Kuykendall and Jan Lyon. Some pictures were even taken by beginning photography stu- dents for extra credit or just for the experience. They were seniors Drew Dozier and Mark Sexton and juniors Cecil Michael and Michael Watts. There were others who took pic- tures but it all came down to the same thing, a yearbook just wasn't a book with out pictures. I take pictures because it's a lot of fun and because l wanted my name under the picture. said sen- ior Mark Sexton.

It was a year to remember. - It had been a year full of excitement. A year when screaming lungs out at a game, wearing spirit shirts and being involved was the 'in' thing to do. T-shirts with spirited sayings were worn by every kind of student. Sayings like, 'lt's Alive', '0.J.'s Spiritf, 'Eye of the Tiger', or just 'West' were were emblazoned across the fronts and backs of many studentfs shirts. ' Seniors would be leaving. The thought of graduating was scary, yet exciting. Some planned on going to college, some to work, some just didn't plan. Leaving behind twelve years of school would be a big step. Juniors looked forward to their senior year and waited pa- tiently for the seniors to bow out and let them step in and continue the traditions. They had waited for twelve years and now it was their turn. Though the thought of all their senior friends leaving was sad, they looked forward to their next year. From the first time the theme from 'Rocky' was played, at the Publications Pep Assembly, to the last strains heard at the Senior Assembly, the students knew O.J. was here. O.J., or Osgood J. Bumpkin, lived throughout the year and was not just a phase as many people had suspected. The stu- dents, faculty and administration knew that he was here to stay. For most of the athletic events, the bleachers filled with fans to cheer the Patriots, The student section made it through its first year and often out-yelled the Pep Club. So, another year came and went, but not without notice. The memories of the year would live forever. The raising of O.J., the unity of the Patriots, and the return of school pride all made the year different from the rest and one to remember. 0 J brings back ' U , This all happened because youire . orth it. 1 ,--...-
