' Knowing what we wanted, we ac- cepted the challenge to prove O.J. is here to stay. 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.

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!
