Current Events-Wo rid Wide Rivalry was a major part of the school year. Everytime you turned around someone was choosing sides on the World Series, Superbowl or NCCA Championship game. Lots of people were making bets. I bet Rachel Middlebrooks and Mi- chelle Hughan a dinner on the turn out of the World Series, said Jeff McLeland. Whenever any of these games were near, you could catch students talking about them in al- most any class. If we knew a teacher was interested in the game, we would try to get them to talk about it, said Sheri Hornsby. Being involved was the big issue. To be included in the conversations, you had to know what was oc- curing in the sport being discussed. 'The OU and KU game was talked about for weeks. It seems every- body knew something about it, said Kris Myr- ick. T.V. parties were in- vented so kids could all watch the games togeth- er. A whole bunch of the seniors got together and watched the final game of the World Series among other events, said Vicky Pickens. Celebrating the out- comes were sometimes the best part. I wore a different KU shirt everyday for a week just for Brian Flatt since he was an OU fan, said Konrad Myrick. Even though the sports were a major part of the year there were other events that oc- cured that involved the school. AIDS became an im- portant topic. Discussing what AIDS really was and becoming better aware of the disease was what the Health P.E. classes did for a few weeks. We watched a lot of films dealing with AIDS, said Angela Owings. Politics were heard throughout the halls from almost every stu- dent.

You should always give peo- ple second chances, said Tracy Roberts. The Pride of Haskell County was shown throughout the year by residents. Being the 101st year of Haskell County lead to several celebrations. Whether it was sports, politics, or incidents closer to home, all stu- dents became particular- ly involved in the current events occuring in the world, nation, and com- munity.

Bringing back the good ole days. Lost in the 50's'' was where the students were, in early February. Fifties being the theme idea of Miss School Spirit, sent lots of kids back in time, along with their parents. I liked it! It brought back memories of the 50's. said Matt Lee. Kim Mines said, It brought back memories that parents told you. I thought it was neat. Thinking up this extra- ordinary idea didn't take as much thought as one might think. Just a brain- storming meeting and a few creative people and it was developed. It was easier to do. There were a lot of ideas that were thought of and after thinking it over we figured out that the 50's theme had lots of neat things we could do with it.

From all the pieces she then de- veloped the final design of the backdrop. It was definitely a unique theme. Mrs. Rooney did an outstand- ing job decorating it. Sheri Hornsby said. Bobbysock dress-up days and that ole time rock-n-roll filled the halls, helping to revive those not so forgotten 50's. We had different spirit days with this theme. That made it a little more fun. said Troy Moree. Mot having time for an evening community pep rally didn't put a damper on the school spirit. Us- ing an hour of school, in- stead, worked just fine.
