Terrier Fortunes Magazine ©1988 Terrier Thomas Public Schools P. O. Box 190 Thomas, OK 73669 (405) 661-3522 A snow-filled parking lot made it difficulty for students and faculty to get to school. I love a show with A Happy Ending If we had known what the year held at the beginning, we might never have bought the ticket. Who would've known that it would snow 14 inches and that school would be turned out for five days? At the time it didn't seem so bad, but making the days up during a fit of spring fever was no fun! The Shanghai Flu made its rounds and few students were left untouched. At one point, over 40 students were absent in grades 7-12 alone because of the illness. Like most movies, the year had several happy endings. When Roman Nose unexpectedly canceled the prom location and it looked as if all was lost, the juniors were able to negotiate a spot at the T-Bone. The high school boy's basket- ball team, nicknamed the Hoosiers because of the under- dog size and lack of bench depth, overcame a first-round loss to Burns Flat in District Play to ad- vance through Regionals for their first appearance in the Area Tournament in 14 years. The high school girl's 52-49 loss to Preston at the State Basketball Tournament Finals, however, left few dry eyes. The good news was that Debra Stinson and Deena Garner qualified to try out for All-State. The bad news was the tryouts were re-scheduled and the girls missed (!) their senior trip. There was a consolation, however, as the girls took a mini senior trip to Wolf Creek the next week. So, though things looked a little hairy at the beginning, the 1987- 88 school year turned out to be a thriller that no one should have missed! Deena Garner Excitement builds as Debra Stinson, Nervous kindergarteners Kristin Look ma, no teethl Robert Deela at- Byron Grubb, Shyla Howe, Bryan Sweeney and Stephanie Jackson seek tempts to explain a story about missing Carpenter, Deena Gamer, and Nick reassurance from Deena Gamer and teeth and a runaway bowling ball.

A Happy Ending 3 Everyone that bought a ticket to the Basketball Homecoming Dance jammed to the music of the KATT. Many students never receive proper recognition for their individual talents. Hours are spent on practice and dollars on instructions for talents that will never receive a letter jacket or be honored at a banquet. Jason Yoder, Thomas sopohomore, spends $25.00 a month on piano lessons, even though he claims he hates them. However, he does enjoy being able to lay ‘The Entertainer at the drop of a at. Justin Beadles' dedication to the art of public speaking showed as he spent his Spring Break traveling over 1600 miles to give speeches as he campaigned for a state FFA office. Although Brad Claussen regularly par- ticipates in sports, he can always be found on Rough Creek coon hunting. At $15.00 to $20.00 a pelt, being a sure shot insures some extra spending money. Some talents are used not only for per- sonal enjoyment, but can rack up a few dollars as well. Clint Noonan, resident pool shark, found that playing pool sometimes made for some spare change. Rhonda Gleason spends all of her sum- mer and many of her weekends showing prize cattle. Rhonda spends about five hours a day grooming two homed Hereford heifers. In all. she earns about $1,000.00 a year with her cattle, and these funds go back into entry fees and supplies. Kelli Helzer finds that a stitch in time saves money. Although she has only been sewing for two years, she has found that it's relaxing and she can make her own latest fashions for much less money. It's 40-Love for Annie Lorenz in the ten- nis field. As a two-time participant in the Sooner State Games, she has placed third both times. Annie spends much of her free summer time playing in tour- naments. Her cousin helped her get started playing tennis at the age of nine, and though she doesn’t plan to play in college, she finds it to be a relaxing and enjoyable pastime. Sure, these students may never make a living with their hobbies, but they definite- ly have had experiences that will make their lives a little more interesting than the average. Justin Beadles Hidden Talents Hidden Talents Piano lessons are not a favorite of Jason Yoder's ; however, he enjoys being able to tickle the ivories. Hidden Talents Who would have guessed that under that mild-mannered exterior of high school principal Jim Litsch lurked a high school cheerleader just waiting to get out? Joined by other faculty members, Mr. Litsch helped to get the spirit going for the Apache game. 4 Hidden Talents Ben Franklin, alias Chay Nease , takes a breather before going on stage to stop the Okeene lightning. Not being one to let a fine spring day go by unenjoyed, Hoyt Steele collects rays while others collect insects. Visions of the Universe was the theme of the 1988 Student Art Contest. Of the 900 entrants. Thomas claimed two winners. Susan Crain and Robert Miller placed se- cond and first respectively in the fantasy division. Hidden Talents 5 Late again! Once again, Shyla Howe finds beating the clock to be an over- whelming task. Better Late Than Never Tardies can add up fast. We don't mean to always be a little late for classes — it's just the way things are. The action in the hall can easi- ly distract us from getting our books and heading directly for class. Two and a half minutes is just not enough time to see who's zooming who! Sometimes we just run short of time — and then what is the best excuse? — The car wouldn't start. — I had a flat tire. — It was the teacher's fault. — There was a long line at the water fountain. — The senior guys made me tardy! — There was a rabbit under my car. — My sister made me late. The perfect excuse to convince Mr. Litsch hasn't been discovered yet, so until it is — you're better late than never! Brett Vo well Gotcha!! Shoe polish was a hot item this school year. When our cars were accumulated in the parking lot, many of them had a message in shoe polish scrawled on the windshields. Shoe polish was used to write peppy messages to hike up the sports teams. Smily faces and a few inside jokes to friends were scattered from windshield to windshield. If a person was caught shoe polishing anothers car, revenge was certain. Gotcha!! Brett Vo well On the lookout for Lynn Barnes is Chad Hutchison . Shoe polishing car windows was a favorite pastime for Terriers. Sooner or later, car windows got it! 6 Mini Mag Lunch Crunch 12:50 — At last, the lunch bell rings. A mad rush of starving Ter- rier students make their way to the parking lot. 12:51 — Students are piling in- to cars to ride downtown. 12:54 — After passing the usual collisions, cars arrive and unload at their lunch-time hangouts. 1:02 — At long last, everyone has their food. 1:03 — All over town students are scarfing down their food. 1:05 — The kids who snuck out of class early arrive at the park- ing lot. 1:10 — The parking lot is almost full of talking Terriers. 1:20 — The bell rings. As everyone strolls into class, a few late arrivals come screeching in- to the parking lot and rush for their rooms. 1:50 — Indigestion sets in. Brett Vowel! Brother and sister Jason Lorenz and Annie Lorenz enjoy a quick lunch at Millers. The Mousse is Loose! Although our Terriers have not gone as far as the crazed and colorful hair designs found in ma- jor cities, the use of mousse and gel is a ritual part of many stu- dent's hairstyles. The foamy and gooey substances are abused by both boys and girls, although the boys sometimes hesitate to admit it. With unlimited imagination and creativity, students create hairstyles that nature never intended. While applying and styling the gook takes time, getting the mess off can be even more time- consuming! Brett Vo well In between classes, Teena Helzer takes time out to touch up her hair.

Since all students are involved, Ter- riers have a chance to choose the best and brightest among them- selves. Lynn Barnes plans to list her award as Biggest Flirt on a college or scholarship application because ... then they'll know I've been active in school . Everyone has a chance for one of these awards, whether it be on the light side, such as Most Humerous or Biggest Flirt, or the more serious, such as Most Studious or Most Dependable. Sometimes a selection can have a positive affect on a student. Brett Vowell said that being selected as Most Talented made him realize that all my practice time was worthwhile . Surprised was how Debra Stinson felt after be- ing selected Miss THS. She added that it made her fell well-liked . Are the Class Favorites Selections prophetic?

Class Favorite 11 Pastimes At Thomas High Three o'clock. The final bell rings. Everyone goes home Or do they? What really goes on in the hec- tic after-school life of a Terrier? Nikki Turman claims that watching Days of our Lives is her favorite after-school activity. Most of her peers agreed, although cruising, eating, sleep- ing, or just plain doing nothing topped the list as a few of their favorite activities. Although most Terriers surveyed spent an average of 10 minutes on their homework, Chad Hutchison claims he works on his from 3:05 p.m. to 8:29 a.m. . Many Terriers attend after- school sports practicies. They found that these workouts take up at least two hours of their precious after-school time. Most student at THS don't have after-school jobs, but wish they did. Jason Stinson says it wouldn't hurt , and students soon found that they could use the money. How else could one afford to do his many other after-school activities? Mom? Dad? Julie Kautz Basketball practice begins early as Rhon- da Gleason , Michelle King , and Roshelle Ridenour sweat through a summertime dribble drill. Look out, Betty Crocker! Chad Hutchison spends his spare time creating a culinary masterpiece for the junior class pig-out. Juniors brought lood from different lands to celebrate the ending of the spelling tests.

Pastimes at Thomas High 13 They’re Always There According to a school-wide Terrier survey, friends are very important, but not even good friends can take the place of family. You can always depend on your family to help cheer you up or just talk, said senior Paula Crain . This thought was express- ed by the majority of the 225 Ter- riers surveyed. Sophomore Staci Litsch felt that her family's support was a positive influence on her perfor- mance. It makes me try that much more because I know they're always behind me. My parents give me an outlook on life that everything can be worked out, said senior Tammie Maggard. Having a sibling in school isn't always a rosy experience. Brad Chamblers claimed his brother Brent Chambers ... tells false statements about me. On the other hand, Eddie Hamilton likes having his brother Brandon and Barry around because They will always look up to you and tell other kids 'that's my brother' . Some THS student had not only brothers and sisters at school, but parents as well. This brought about a unique set of problems and advantages. Both Brett Vo well and Brent Kourt didn't like overhearing comments made about their parents but realized that they didn't mean it personally. . Jennifer Ayers said that when she got in trouble, her parents were the first to find out about it . She added that it was usually all right, though. . Maybe Debra Stinson summed up most Terrier's feelings about family when she said It's always a good feeling to know that they care enough about you to be there. Denna Garner Parents show their support through thick and thin. This group cheers the Lady Terriers at the State Basketball Tournament. Friends Janet Crowl and Tonjia Payne il- lustrate the fact that you don't have to be family to be family. Out on a limb decorating the Fay Christmas tree are cousins Debra Stinson and Jason Stinson .

Many in- cidents set it aside from the others. Some might even say it was cursed! Mark Rodriguez and Debra Stinson started off their senior year with a bang. Debra's car was totaled when she and Mark' ran into each other on Oklahoma Street. ' Wanting in on the action, Kevin Yoder and Greg Gilliam had a fender bender on their way to lunch. Brett Vo well decided to be a ljJtie different so he ran into a herdiof cows while driving home from play practice at Watonga. GoodlJjkjL dentless RX-7. Who wfould do anything to get out of school for a few days? This would have to be Devin Herring . He was riding with a friend when a farmer seemingly came from nowhere and ran a stop sign. The car rolled and Devin was knocked out. Wrecks were bad enough, but the snow only compounded the problem. The sight of the first snowflake brought excitement along with the hopes of calling off schp’ol. Then it came again. , And again. And againl Soon, teachers, students, and parents dreaded even hearing the s-word — snow! Fashions were unique this year as welmJjPepsi and Coca-Cola shirts, socks, Ond even shoelaces were a new additton. A Terrier's wardrobe would not be complete without a pair of acKl-washed jeans. Keds, an old standby, were ever popular, as well as jean jackets decorated with message buttons. Sixties influence was seen everywhere, especially in the return of the mini skirt, short boots, tight knit dresses, and polka dots. Candy LaBrue I A headlock on high fashion is displayed by Julie Kautz and her iced denim jacket as she shows Justin Beadles some of the advantages of being in weight lifting. Clue: Things we usually drink. Answer: Pepsicn Coca-Cola shirts! I Displaying in drinkable fashions are (zigzagging from top): Candy LaBrue, Brett Vowell, Deena Gamer, Tina Green, Traci Christensen, Jennifer Tobin, and Casey Hales . Short jean, shorts sleeves, and just plain shorts are the only way to beat the heat of the mid-August school opening. Jennifer Ayers, Julie Christensen, Janet Crowl, and Tojnia Payne show their version of short. Is wearing ripped, black, faded, snowed, acid-washed, chemically rendered, iced, blastecLor reversed jeans a crime? If so, Nick Reyes, Teena Helzer, Melanie Stin- son, and Lynn Barnes await their punish- ment from Coach Mike Tyson . Since this was their last chance, the seniors got the chance to choose their favorites of 1988.

Their ticket included admission to the many exciting activities of the 1987-88 year. Repeat performances kept the classes busy. The traditional Twerp Week was changed to Spring Fling, and Mr. and Miss Twerp were changed to the Spr- ing Fling Prince and Princess. After all-star performances by the classes, the Spring Fling results were posted. They were as follows: Prince and Princess: Byron Grubb and Jennifer Tobin Mr. and Miss Legs: Tom Burger and Deena Gamer Overall Class Winners First Place: Seniors Second Place: Juniors Third Place: Sophomores Fourth Place: Freshman Now, Debra, pay attention. This is impor- tanti A state-mandated class on AIDS is attended by Candy LaBrue, Shy la Howe , and Debra Stinson. Fifth Place: Eighth Grade Sixth Place: Seventh Grade A special honor for Tina Green was winning the talent portion of the Talent Show. Tina performed a song she had written herself. Comedy Talent winners were the seniors with a skit called Wedgie Fev6r . Shyla Howe as Kinkie , Doug Eyster, Brent Kourt and Kevin Yoder as Last Week's Contestant put on a per- formance that had the audience in the aisles. During Creative Writing class, Shyla Howe and Tommie Maggard take time out to relieve some tension. Inner-class rivalry exsisted as always, but a special war broke out between the juniors and seniors. It got a little hot under' the collar at times, but the end of the year was all meant in fun. An encore performance on May 24 was enjoyed by all class members as their year of excite- ment came to an end. Candy LaBrue Braving the cold at the Kenny Roof Invita- tional are Jennifer Ayers, Traci Christensen, Kathryn Hazel, }ulie 1 Christensen and Brett Vowell. 18 Class Act Senior football players Tracer Hamilton, ESrent Kourt, Mike Whisler, and Tom 9urger remininsce about their childhood iays.

Graduation the Big Ticket for Freshman Graduating from Junior High was the big ticket seller for the freshman class of '88. Aside from planning for graduation on May 20 and the party after- ward, they also kept busy by doing the advertisement for both Homecoming Dances. The class trip to Weatherford to eat pizza and watch Dirty Dancing and The Lost Boys was a well-attended success. Hard work paid off as their mini float Freeze the Score won first place in the junior high division of the Basketball Homecoming Assembly. All of these activities needed a watchful eye, and Judy Ayers and Jewrell Crall were hard- working class sponsors. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Comer and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hutchison were the class parents.

In fact, 60% of the teachers employed by the Thomas School District have earned master's degrees in their chosen fields. Many of those with bachelor's degrees are continu- ing their education. Combined, the teachers here have 475 years of experience, which cost an extra $88,000 per year. This is, no doubt, money well spent.

Terrier sports A Winning Ticket The winning tradition of the Terriers from Thomas, Oklahoma, is an attraction that keeps packing in the fans. Winning a second ticket to the State Tournament was fast-pitch softball, which is only in its se- cond season at Thomas. Although the dream of winning the 34th consecutive district title was never a reality, the boys turned in an outstanding season as they posted and 11-2 record. Teamwork was the ticket to success of the girl's basketball team. Going to the State Tourna- ment was no surprise to the community. Winning the Tournament of Champions was a highlight for the girls. The High School Boy's Basket- ball team played some of their best ball in years, making their first appearance in the Area Tournament in 14 years. Both track teams went to state and showed their true colors in all aspects of the sports. Both teams placed in the top ten. An unusual fashion displayed this year by both girl's and boy's track teams were multi-colored Lycra girdles. Although they were designed to keep an athlete from pulling muscles, most Ter- riers wore them to make a fashion statement.

The Terriers began another record- setting year by defeating Fairview 6-3 in the dawg's backyard. Highly rated throughout the season, the Terriers entered the playoffs posting a 9-1 record. The only regular-season loss came from Seiling in an 8-19 heartbreaker that ended a 33-year district winning streak. In first-round playoff action, Turpin was easily defeated 41-8 by a Terrier team that was now on a roll. Going into the Apache game outweighed nearly 100 pounds per man, the Terriers exhibited the true “fight in the dog” by posting a 20-8 victory. Thomas ended their season in the quarter finals after being defeated by eventual state champion Marietta 30-0.

Coach Mike Tyson : Well, it's really nice to have players with both talent and spirit, and you alway need guys that are excited and do things with enthusiasm. However, if I had to pick one. I'd rather have guys with talent. High School Football 55 •J Dirt Songs on the bus. Cheers from the dugout. Support from the community. Dedicated players. These are just a few of the things Coach Loy Hoskins thinks helped the team earn a winning season. The team once again ac- complished their goals of going to state and having a winning season. The high points of the season included qualifying for the State Tournament and beating Taloga 13-5 in front of a home crowd. The Terrierettes finished the season with a 10-6 record and a district title. Regional Runner-Up, State Quarter-Finalists, and third place in the Aline-Cleo Tourna- ment were other awards earned by the team. Leadership was provided by the only two seniors, Debra Stin- son and Shyla Howe. Underclassmen expect you to be a leader, and each game you play will be your last, were the pressures listed by Debra. Shyla added, Since we're the only two seniors, we really have to set an example and have a working attitude at all times.

Things got off to a rocky start as the first game with Hinton was scheduled only two school days after the end of football season. Although the Terriers were beaten soundly 61-43, they later evened the score by beating the Comets 85-56. At the Christmas break the team had only a lone win to accompany four losses. The Terriers earned the Con- solation Championship at the West Central Tournament held in Custer. Although they lost a tough first-round game to Arapaho, they beat Calumet and Custer to cinch the title. Coming off two straight losses to Taloga and Watonga, the dogs rolled into the district playoffs with a 9-8 record. A 38-57 loss to Burns Flat in the finals put the team in the loser's bracket. Faced with elimination, the Terriers rallied with three straight wins in the Regional Tourna- ment. Arch-rival Soiling was the first victim as they fell 68-56. A 51-50 heartstopper over Boise City led to a final contest in the tourney with Shattuck. A 73- 56 victory earned the boys their first spot in the Area Tournament in 14 years. There the Terriers beat Med- ford by a score of 72-62. In the se- cond round, the team avenged their former loss to Burns Flat, ousting them from the playoffs, 61-55. In the Area Finals, however, the streak ended as Coyle defeated Thomas, leaving them only one game short of making it to the State Tourna- ment.

The 1987-88 girl's basketball season started off with a pre- season rating of number one. The Terrierette's work was cut out for them as every opponent set out to knock them off the 1 perch. The Terrierettes came out and showed their colors in the first contest, stealing an exciting game in overtime from the Hinton Comets, 52-46. The girls coasted to another victory aginst the Watonga Eagles and were then upset by the Okeene Whippets. The Terrierettes rebounded for eight straight wins, capped by a homecoming win against Canton. Seniors Debra Stinson and Kevin Yoder received the Queen and King title. Other candidates included Melody Walker, Deena Garner, Justin Beadles , and Nick Reyes. The Terrierettes then made their appearance in the by- invitation-only Tournament of Champions in Del City. A first- round contest with Schulter end- ed in a 65-48 win. The semi-final round featured a match with with 5A Del City and ended in a 56-50 margin. In the final game, the Terrieret- tes managed to defeat larger Tecumseh 52-45. Returning to regular season, the girls were not so fortunate. A delay game with Geary ended in a one-point defeat. However, they came bouncing back against Seiling only to be defeated by Hinton. A match with Okeene added another victory to the girl's roster, as did a meeting with Taloga. A win against the Mooreland Bearcats gave the girls a berth in the Red Carpet playoffs. The Terrierettes, who never lost a game by more than three points, ended their regular season 16-3.

On Their Return Trip To The Big House The Terrierettes started their road to the Big House with a 29- point demolition of the Burns Flat Eagles. This win earned them the second consecutive title of District Champs. The Terrierettes then traveled to the Regional Tournament. Held at Vici, this would become their home away from home and ham- burgers would become their home-cooked'' meal. Their first contest was against arch-rival Soiling Wildcats. It turned out to be a battle down to the wire, but the Lady Greens pulled ahead for a 37-25 win. The Regional Finals featured a match with the Turpin Cardinals. The girls nailed a solid 59-41 vic- tory in their quest for their return trip to the Big House. The Terrierettes briefly en- joyed the Regional Champs title, but soon settled down to go back to work for the Area Tournament. Returning to Vici, they snared the Area Champs title with a convin- cing 19-point win over the Med- ford Cardinals. Teachers, students, parents, and fans turned out for the Take State pep assembly. Kelli Litsch, four-time All-American and Thomas graduate, was the speaker. Fans who had provided loyal support to both teams all year turned out to back the Lady Greens at the state play-offs. An overconfident Terrier team had to work hard to pull out an overtime squeaker from a quick Vanoss squad. Despite losing four guards to foul trouble, the girls posted a 54-50 win. Okarche proved to be less of a challenge, and the 64-52 triumph put the girls on the state cham- pionship schedule. Preston, in its fourth straight appearance at the State Tourna- ment, proved to be a well- matched opponent. At any point in the game, both teams were never more than nine points apart . Despite a six-point scor- ing rampage by the girls in the last 60 seconds, the Preston Pirates handed Thomas a 59-62 disappointment to capture the state title. The girl's team brought home many prestigous honors. At the Tournament of Champions, Debra Stinson, La Tisha Fraser, and Staci Litsch were named to the All-Tournament Team. Debra Stinson, Lynn Barnes, Staci Litsch, and La Tisha Fraser were named to the Red Carpet Con- ference All-Star Team. At the State Tournament, Debra Stinson was named Most Valuable Player, while Staci Litsch was named All- Tournament First Team and La Tisha Fraser was named All- Tournament Second Team. Deena Garner and Debra Stinson were selected to play in the Northwest Shriners All Star Game in Enid on May 28. All-State honors went to Debra Stinson . Deena Garner was named All-State Alternate. Deena Garner Pride Compensates For Lack Of Depth The boys high school track team did well this year, placing in five meets. At the beginning of the year, hopes ran high as Thomas was dropped down to Class B in track. The Red Carpet Conference meet was first in line, and the Terriers took third place in Buffalo. Next came a rainy, cold day back at Thomas, where the Ken- ny Roof Invitational was hosted. Showing their pride, the team took first-place honors in spite of the conditions. Journeys to Medford and Ringwood resulted in second and third placings, respectively. Preparing for post-season competition came next. Obvious- ly, the Terriers did something right, because they won the Regional Track Meet, held at Marlow. From there, ten team members qualified for state, some in more than one event. At the state track meet, Tom Burger took second in the discus. Chad Hutchison, Eddie Hamilton, Brent Kourt, and Byron Grubb combined in the two mile relay for runner-up status. The mile relay also placed sixth. The Terriers ended up sixth in the state. Although this was a dissapointing finish, injuries and a lack of depth were factors that didn't help at all.

At Cherokee they ran away with a second and at the Kenny Roof Invitational they were also runners-up. The long drive to Medford resulted in a fourth place. A lot of dedication was shown as the Terrierettes dragged themselves out of bed the morning after prom to go to Ringwood where they also placed fourth. After the regular sesaon came Regionals at Marlow. Even though only ten girls participated the Lady Terriers pulled through as Regional Runners-Up and were on their way to State. All girls on the team qualified to travel to Yukon. Annie Lorenz was fourth in the 100 meter hurdles and fifth in the 300 meter hurdles. The 3200 meter relay team which consited of LaTisha Fraser, Michelle Lapel, Dana Jackson and Melanie Stinson medaled at fifth place.

His big heartbreak was getting beat by Seiling in '87. His most memorable moment was beating Seiling in '86. A piece of advice that Nick got from a coach was As you will my son, as you will. Nick didn't like the team getting their hair cut. Nick would encourge younger kids to go out for sports because it teaches them self-discipline. Nick’s motto is Success doesn't consist of how many times you fall, but in how many times you get up. Deena Garner Shyla Howe competed in softball, basketball, track, and was a cheerleader. She says that the pressure at THS shows that you can accomplish your goals because it's been done before. Shyla would encourage younger kids to go out for sports because it gives them something to work toward, it would help them to work with others, and it would teach them responsibility. Shyla's motto is Want it, think you can, and accomplish it. Deena Garner Going out and competing is how Brent Kourt looked at every sport he particapated in. He suited up for football, basketball, and track. In football Brent played split end and corner back. He feels that when the football team got their hair cut it showed their dedication to the cause. Brent feels that the pressures that is ap- plied to the athletes helps to bring out the most in a person. He would encourage younger kids to go out for sports because it develops charater in a person by learning to lose as well as to win. Brent's motto is Trust in the Lord and give 110%. Deena Garner Doug Wisel participated in football and track. In football he played split end. His goals were to win class B State Track meet and in the mile relay. Doug’s most exciting moment was running at state and beating Apache in football. His biggest heartbreak was plac- ing sixth in the mile relay in the State Track Meet. Doug feels the pressure from the Terrier traditions makes you strive to do your best, but it's bad if you feel burdened by it and give up. Doug says he would encourage younger kids to go out for sports because it teaches them teamwork and coopera- tion. It wwould also teach them to deal with success and failure. Doug's motto is I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil. 4:13 . Deena Garner 68 Senior Athletic Profiles Tom Burger participated in football, basket- ball, and track.

Debra's goals for the year were to win state and place in the top three at the State Track Meet. Debra's most memorable moment was winning the Tournament of Champions. Her biggest heartbreak was los- ing State in basketball. Debra would enoucrage younger kids to go into sports because It's good exercise, teaches you to compete, and it's a good way to meet people . Debra feels that the pressure applied at THS makes you work harder. Deena Garner Ninety percent of what you do is in your head is the advice from a coach that Doug Eyster remembers most.

Randy would encourage younger kids to go out for sports because ... it keeps you out of trouble . Randy's motto was to Play like a champion . Deena Garner Senior Athletic Profiles 69 Playing right tackle was the duty for Eric Quiroz . Following the advice of the coaches, he was always willing to give 110%.

Justin Beadles Brad Chamber's motto in sports was Do Your Best . His goal for the year was to take state, and he was proud to be named as an All-State Benchwarmer. Playing the position of tackle was Brad's responsibility for the Terrier squad. He en- thusiastically encourages other people to become involved in sports. The one piece of advice that Brad remembers from the coaches is Next time you're gonna miss practice, tell me! . Justin Beadles Getting his hair cut in the traditional football style has been claimed as Clint Noonan's most embarrassing moment. Play every game one game at a time is one piece of advice that Clint recalls from his spor- ting days. Clint was hoping to take state while playing the positions of guard and tackle. He would encourage kids to play sports for the exercise . Justin Beadles It's not over until it's over is offensive tackle and defensive guard Bryan Carpenter's motto. Bryan's goal for the year was to win district and go on to state. Both the highlight and the embarrassing mo- ment of his football career was when he in- tercepted a pass and scored a touchdown only to have it called back. He would encourage kids to participate in sports because It's good for your system and builds up your confidence . Justin Beadles Senior Athletic Profiles 70 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Ephesians 6:10 was the sports motto of football and basketball player Justin Beadles . He was positioned as center and defensive end in football. Justin's most embarassing moment in sports was during a pee wee baseball game. When he was up to bat, he had to call time out to go to the bathroom! To win the 34th district title and then take state were Justin's goals during his senior year. While striving for these goals, the best advice he was given by the coach was Do your best and let the scoreboard take care of itself . With this advice in mind, Justin played hard and was named All- District Offensive Lineman. Brett Vo well A return trip to the Big House was the goal for senior basketball player Deena Garner . She was positioned as post guard. To the question of the pressures of Terrier tradition, Deena answered, It makes you dig a little deeper to keep up the tradition. . Deena feels that sports teach a person to set goals and work hard for something. The biggest heartbreak for Deena was losing state, but in trying times, she turns to Psalms 56:3 When I'm afraid, I put my trust in Thee . Winning the Tournament of Champions was a memorable even in her sports life. She would, however, like to forget the time she was stuffed by a guard at Taloga. Brett Vo well To win every game was the goal of Mike Whisler's senior year. Mike was offensive right guard and defensive end on the football team. His most memorable moment was the first game. It was a heartbreak for Mike when the Terriers lost to Marietta. He was embarrassed by losing the district title to Soiling. Mike would encourage younger kids to be active in sports because he feels that it is a strong motivator. As to getting his hair burred, Mike felt it was his duty to the Terrier team. Brett Vo well A Terrier: Gets tough when the going gets tough. Never quits until the buzzer sounds. Remembers the pride and tradition of Terriers who have played in the past. Makes the tackle basket touchdown finish line not because he or she if better, but because he or she wants to more than their opponent. Wears the Terrier Green with pride. Knows that sports isn't everything, but it can make life a whole lot more interesting! 7, Favorite Sports Memory: Most Embarrassing Moment: High Point of the Season: The Win I’ll Never Forget: Teammates Autographs: Tracer Hamilton lettered in football and track.

Coach Jerry Taylor express- ed a positive outlook for his run- ners. He stated that the seventh graders have ... a lot of speed . The track team was not discouraged by placing last in all events. Instead, Coach Taylor told them a few things to remember. Don't get used to losing. It's not as much fun! Candy LaBrue 74 Junioi High Boy s Basketball and Track Teaching Terrier Pride The junior high football team had 2-3 season. A close call resulted in an 18-20 loss for Thomas against Hinton. Next, Thomas pulled out an 8-0 victory over Geary and an 8-6 win over Canton. A windy night and the big team of Fairview resulted in a loss of 6-14. Thomas gave the undefeated Hinton team a good work-out with the final score 14-22, Hin- ton's favor. Coach Taylor gave his point of view for the 1987-88 season. As coaches we felt we had a big job ahead of us because we had only three returning starters and needed improvements on all aspects of the game. We felt our young men made great strides in most of these areas. The high point of the season would be getting to work with the young Terriers. Just watching them improve and develop their football skills is worth it. 'Terrier Pride' is hard to define, to see, to know what, where, and when it is. I am not sure we instill 'Terrier Pride . The pride comes from fans, townspeople, past Terriers, student body, and teachers. We as coaches remind our players who they are playing for and what is expected of them.

Pee Wees Tackle Large Goals The thrill of competition was eagerly tackled by the Pee Wee teams. With a number of outstan- ding players, the Pee Wees took advantage of their talents and ability to play as a team. Football season was a frustrating chore. They had great capabilities, but lacked size. When asked about the highlights of the season , Coach Mike Tyson replied, We beat Canton handi- ly, and we played very well against the Weatherford seventh grade. The girl's basketball team had an exciting season. They rated second in both the Canton Tour- nament and the Thomas Tourna- ment. The season ended with a 4-4 game record. With five wins and two losses, the boy's basketball team was regarded as a team with great assets. These assets were assembled to win the Thomas Tournament and runner-up honors at the Custer and Canton Tournaments. The sporting finales were the track meets. Third place was won by the boys at the Northwest Conference Meet held in Thomas. Numerous Pee Wee students competed against each other at the Little Olympics Meet. Brett Vowel] Pee Wee Sports 77 Young Terrierettes Pay The Price To Wear The Green The seventh and eighth grade girls prov- ed to be a promising squad. They played 11 games and lost only four. These young Terrierettes showed their true colors by competing with Terrier pride until the final buzzer. Basket by basket, the girls earned enough ex- perience to make them court-ready for next year. The junior high girls got off to a slow start, but pulled together and ended the season with a 6-6 record. The young Ter- rierettes finished with a big overtime win against Buffalo in the Red Carpet Playoffs. When track season rolled around, the girls again paid the price to be a Terrier. Showing their true colors once again, they placed second in the Junior High Northwest Conference Track Meet. These young Terrierettes are eagerly awaiting next year so they can uphold more Terrier tradition.

FFA members once again journeyed to Oklahoma City, Kansas City, and Washington. D.C. for the State and Na- tional Conventions and to the Washington Conference Program. Family Living classes, along with other interested seniors, a took field trip to the Granite Reformatory and the Fort Supply State Hospital. Luckily, they bought return ticketsl Along the way, the Student Council sponsored a packed performance of Career Day, a coke float reception for the basketball girls, and the Football Homecoming Dance. Dallas was the destination for the junior high vocal music class as they performed for a sellout crowd of judges and received a 11+ rating. A road trip to Stillwater was a new ex- perience for the journalism class, especially when Mrs. Kathy Scott's car broke down and Justin Beadles had to beg water for a sizzling radiator from a farmer. Science Club members were in the dark as they toured Alabaster Caverns. Lavish accomodations allowed the five members who went on the field trip to travel in style as they were the only oc- cupants on a massive school bus. All in all, tickets sales were brisk as organizations got their money's worth of travel. Kevin Yoder A winter wonderland is created by Deena Gamer .

Or the people who spent four or more hours on a crowded school bus just to get you home in time for Days ? These people are extremely important to keeping the school going smoothly. Their hard, unappreciated work often goes unnoticed. We couldn't get along without secretaries, principals, cooks, janitors, superintendents, bus drivers, or the school board.

Budget Causes Stumbles, But Band The Thomas Terrier High School Band marched strong through a year of struggles. A deteriorating budget had the band members fighting against a loss of pride. But with the help of director Mr. Phil Payne , and the band parents, the band over- came their financing woes. Even in the snow, the band practiced their half-time routines. KBXR, a Weatherford radio station, interviewed Tina Green, Candy LaBrue, Michelle Lapel, Stacie Litsch, Debra Stinson, Brett Vo well and Mr.Phil Payne on the traditions of the Thomas Band. After the traditional Fay Christmas concert, the band members dug into their contest music. Fall River Overture and Omaha Beach were their selections. At the district contest, the band rated three I's and another I in sight reading. Thomas was the only Class A school to receive I's in every event. The year was capped by the Spring Concert and the crowning of the Band King and Queen. Brett Vowell and Tina Green were selected by their peers as King and Queen. Other can- didates included Devin Herring, John Stinson, Deena Gamer , and Shyla Howe . To raise spirit and celebrate past success, Mr. Phil Payne rented the public pool for an evening of fun.

They received a I on their concert performance. Twenty-two solos and ensembles brought in first rank medals. Scoring II's were eight band students. At the end of the year, the hard work was over and the music was a memory. Each band member hoped for an abun- dance of future successes. Brett Vowell Flag Corp Front row. Drum majorette Tina Croon.

The high school choir, under the direction of Miss Cathy Horn lacked members to compete in choir contests. Individuals, however, prepared solos and ensembles for contest. Tina Green, Cindy Nelson, Jennifer Tobin, Brett Vowell, Doug Wisel, and a girl's ensemble qualified to compete with their talent at the state level. For a second year, Tina Green and Brett Vowell were selected to the All-OMEA Honor Choir. The During high school choir class.

For $7.00, old-time enter- tainment was had by all as the choirs performed familiar songs from the nickelodeon age. The Star Spangled Banner was sung at several pep assemblies by the fifth and sixth grade honor choir. The choir also amused a group at a service club meeting. These young musicians, directed by Miss Cathy Horn, ex- tended their capabilities by par- ticipating in the Kodaly and Sell- ing Music Festivals.

Chorus 87 Making The Best Better Is A Full-Time Job 'To make the best better, was the definite goal of the Thomas 4-H Clubs. They found enjoyment while improving themselves and their communities. The clubs held their monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of each month in the lunchroom. Other than regular business and demonstrations, guests were invited to speak on various projects. For another year, the Custer County 4- H sold candy bars as a fund raiser. Thomas had the most club sales. Lori Bar- wick was the high salesperson of the county.

'To practice brotherhood and honor rural opportunities and responsibilities and develop those qualities of leadership which a Future Farmer should possess. This is the response to the question asked by the president in the opening ceremonies of all meetings. FFA'ers worked all year trying to practice and achieve these goals. Activities in- cluded speech contests, livestock shows, and leadership conferences. A total of 15 speech contests were participated in, from the local speech contest to the state finals. The National FFA Convention in Kdnsas City was one of the highlights of the year. Lee Iacoca , Chrysler executive, was the keynote speaker of one of the sessions. A fireworks display was a part of the opening ceremonies at the State Convention. Debra Stinson, Doug Wisel , and Justin Beadles received their State Farmer degrees at the convention. One of the highlights for the Thomas FFA was the induction of Justin Beadles as the Southwest District Vice-President for the up- coming year. Justin was the first state officer elected from Thomas since 1979 when Clay Christensen served in the same office. We are about to adjourn this meeting of the Thomas chapter of Future Farmers of America. As we mingle with others let us be diligent in labor, just in our dealings, courteous to everyone, and above all, honest and fair in the game of life.

In this case, the Thomas FHA chapter had what it took to make it through a suc- cessful year. Approximately two weeks before school began, an officers' meeting at Oklahoma City was held to plan for the year's ac- tivities. Arrangements were made for bake sales, a field trip to Granite, the annual Christmas party at Annie Lorenz's home, and the end-of-the-year installa- tion banquet.

The Big Payoff Staying up late to study. Spending Saturdays at academic competitions. Participating in the Science Club. These and other sacrifices paid off, as the nearly $50,000.00 in scholarships awarded this year prove. Early in the year, Kevin Yoder, Tina Green, Brett Vowell, Jen- nifer Tobin, and Michelle Richardson, five dedicated members of the Science Club, trekked through Alabaster Caverns State Park. Both the junior high and high school academic bowl teams placed in the top three at the Taloga Tournament. The second annual Academic Letter Banquet proved a success, with Terry Nease as the speaker.

Lynn Barnes is doing her best to stay clean at the ice cream float reception held to honor the basket- ball girls. A successful homecoming dance was planned by the Stu- dent Council to kick off another great year at THS. Under the leadership of presi- dent Justin Beadles and other of- ficers, students received a chance to reflect upon their past as Americans at the annual Veteran's Day Assembly. Career Day gave students the opportunity to catch a glimpse of many different college and career choices. To congratulate the basketball girls on their victory at the Tour- nament of Champions, a coke float reception was held in their honor. The final even of the year pro- vided some good inter-class com- petition for the summer-ready students. Spring Fling honors went to the seniors, despite all other efforts from underclassmen. Don Litsch and Sherry Jones were the hard-working sponsors of the Thomas Student Council. Justin Beadles Spring Fling activities are enjoyed by the radicals at THS.

Clockwise from bottom are Debra Stinson , Mrs. Sherry Jones , Meredith Sprang . Mrs. Pat Kourt . Annie Lorenz . Shyla Howe . Candy LaBrue , and Michelle Lapel. Cheerleading Camp at O.S.U. in Stillwater proves to be a learning ex- perience as the girls practice a new routine. Working on a dance to The Gambler are (from left) Meredith Sprang, Dana Jackson, Candy LaBrue, Michelle Lapel, and Annie Lorenz . Cheerleading: Ain’t No Competition! Cheerleading may appear to be a glamorous occupation, but much work goes on behind the scenes. Some of their many responsibilities included pep assemblies, bonfires, and mak- ing weekly cookies for the foot- ball players and coaches. After selling Indian tacos and having bake sales as fund raisers, the cheerleaders attend- ed camp at O.S.U. Here they learned new dance routines, chants, cheers, stunts, and pyramids. High school cheerleaders received many spirit sticks and the highest honor, a superior ribbon. Mishaps haunted the cheerleaders during the Hallo- ween pep assembly. Candy LaBrue , decked out in a witches costume, fell during a dance routine to Monster Mash”. A bruised tailbone and wounded pride were her only injuries. Debra Stinson's duties as Jake were cut short after she was in a lunch hour fender bender. One of the football cheerleader's traditions was to pray before every game. Cindy Nelson and Jenny Com- er were the basketball cheerleaders while Michalle Richardson assumed mascot duties. Shyla Howe and Meredith Sprang helped to round out the squad. Junior high cheerleaders work- ed hard at the Fun Days to raise money for their camp at Southwestern. At the camp, they won many awards. Their respon- sibilities included cheering at the junior high football games and helping out at the Homecoming Assembly. All of the 1987-88 cheerleaders kept the spirit alive. Motivation came from some great sponsors. Sherry Jones, as high school sponsor, and Carmen Perkins, as junior high sponsor, supported and organized activities throughout the year.

What do a future president of the United States, a National Merit Moron, a homecoming queen, an All-State vocalist, a Van Halen High alumni, a truck stop waittress. Miss Best Dressed, and a neurotic pregnant woman all have in common? They're the members of the 1987-88 Yearbook Newspaper Staff! Aside from accidentally setting under the nudes at The Hideaway at OSU and vainly looking for The Strip in Stillwater, they also managed to produce the newspaper, renamed The Daily Dawg , and the 1988 Ter- rier, That's the Ticket. It wasn't all fun and games at the Terrier Headquarters. At times it could even be dangerous! Just ask Kevin Yoder who almost electrocuted himself while preparing for the Yearbook Assembly. Justin Beadles was almost decapitated while hang- ing upside down out the second story window doing research on the bird habits at THS. When the window slipped, Justin's jour- nalistic integrity almost came crashing down with it. Mrs. Kathy Scott's car broke down on the way back from Jour- nalism Day at OSU, and the staff had to beg water for an ailing radiator from a friendly farmer. As a fundraiser, the class sold chances to throw a pie in a teacher's face. Linda Wharry was the lucky winner , while Mrs. Mona Jackson was the unlucky recipient. When mid-morning blood sugar levels dropped to an alar- ming low, hampering creativity, staff members combined errands with a trip to the Easy Shop. As the year wore on, staff Rock-a-bye, Kevin .

A hot news tip is reported to Julie Kautz , right, by annual aid Casey Hales , left. members felt more and more free to advise one another on subjects ranging from dating prospects to family planning. Hot debates over women's lib, the Kentucky Derby, and saving the racoons were almost always resolved peacefully. If not, one could ex- pect massive retaliation in the form of a marshmallow-packed locker. As the year came to an end, most students were looking for- ward to the ease of summer. Not the Terrier Staff! Deena Gamer burned the midnight oil on the IBM's at Custer Schools to finish her copy. After much pizza, overtime, short tempers, and renaming of the computer with an unflattering title, the copy-packed, picture- filled, journalistically-correct 1988 Terrier was born. Julie Kautz A dazed Mrs. Kathy Scott worries about yearbook deadlines. Most staff members finally realized she was serious the last day of school. Journalism 101 Get A Ticket For Thomas Businesses!
