From the time kindergarteners start school and learn to ap- preciate their rituals of milk, cookies, and naptime until they graduate with the traditional yearbooks, class rings, and memory books, a Terrier understands the importance of tradition at Thomas. Some of the traditione we'd fight the hardest to keep might oe the Senior Trip, Prom, Homecoming, and Class Night. After all, T.H.S.'ers have been enjoying these traditional activities for about 45 years. If someone thinks of tradition at Thomas, they have to think of sports.

Terrier football players used to get their hair trimmed into a mohawk, a tradi- tion that dates back to the early 1950's. As a new twist on an old style, some athletes adopted the Boz , in imitation of O. U. linebacker Brian Bosworth. Another tradition that makes Thomas unique includes the un- written rule of Seniors getting to park in the front row of the park- ing lot. The springtime rite of Twerp Week, Little Olympics, the Band Concert, and graduation are traditions that make going to school at Thomas a unique ex- perience. Stacey Driscoll and Crystal Barnes.
