Students gather at the front of the school building to greet old freinds and make new ones on the first day of school. Busily preparing for the school day, Mrs. Dee Weigle writes many student passes before the day even begins. Itfs Another Da One of the worst things about the starting of each school day was hearing that blaring alarm telling you that it was time to drag yourself out of bed and get ready for school. Missing the bus was as common to students as going to school, but it often led to calling for a ride, being tardy to first hour and, for some, even having to walk to school. Not all students got to sleep as late as others in the morningg some had to be at school as early as 7 a.m. for early band rehearsal, drama practices or to get to the tutoring service offered by the National Honor Society. Many students enjoyed arriving to school early rather than late. Being early meant there was always some spare time before school started. Most students enjoyed this time by standing outside and talking to friends, while others chose to hurriedly prepare the homework assignments they had failed to do the night before. Before school was generally a time to prepare for classes, make plans for after school and to start wishing for the sixth hour bell to ring.

It was always plain to see when a per- son or group of people were from Moore West because of the enthusi- asm and high spirits. Whether they were a pom pon girl, a cheerleader, an athlete, a teacher or a member of the newly formed spirit group, the Bleacher Creatures , they were al- ways considered a big part of the Ti- ger team. Though the Tigers didn't always win, they were never considered los- ers, for they had a distinct quality. They had the pride, the spirit and the sportsmanship which made Moore West second to none. Students showed their spirit in such ways as attending away games as well as home M is ,fr he fra. 59 if i .U-4 games, participating in assemblies and other school functions, joining clubs and organizations and just supporting the Tigers. Moore West had the finest group of students, teachers, administrators and staff members that a school needs. As Tigers we could say with pride, We were a part of Moore West Mid High and truly mean it. if Ts if 5'-WWGZL . f A KEITH JONES, otherwise known as Goober, practices at one of the games.

GOOFING OFF between classes are Greg Wib- ben, Tim Donnelly, Eric Shrier and Tracy Quin- ton. othing To Do Whoever started the expression There's nothing to do undoubtedly never went to Moore West. During the school year, there were several activi- ties in which students participated. There was a variety of elective classes open to the students, in addi- tion to the required courses such as history and math. These classes kept students very busy. In English many were faced with the task of writing essays, reading stories, watching mov- ie tapes and learning to use correct grammar. Watching filmstrips, hearing guest speakers and doing labwork played an important role in the science classes. Many electives were added to help students prepare for the future. For instance, there was driver education, business, typing, computer science and foreign language. The curriculum of the school changed from time to time and West offered a wide range of courses. Any changes were always made with the benefit of the students in mind. 8 Student Life 5 W . ,Lxy .5 4 While the teacher isn't looking, Ralph Dill takes a break in the helicopter he viewed during a field trip, Lorrie Powell goes through a series of stretch- ing excercises and warm-up drills before begin- ning the strenuous routines of gymnastics. Student Life 9 DRESSING UP NICELY is an everyday thing for Angie Wilson. She's just one of many who enjoy looking nice in today's fashions. e Changing Styles Same Fashionable Look Things come and go and fashion trends are no exception. Fashions in Moore change just about as often as the weather does. Last year's styles were more Preppy , while this year's styles have settled down to the more basic looks. Some students still tend to dress in ruffles and lace, but others have turned to the more Valley look . The valley styles are the new mini-skirts and headbands, but also the cowboy boots, the peter pan looking boots and the newest type of boot, the muck- lucks. Not everyone was as satisfied as 10 Student Life others with the Valley look . Others chose to create their own look, it was referred to as the sporty look . Just a few of the sporty styles were the sweats look, the fashionable jeans, the Nike look and the most popular of all, the OP styles. Whether you dressed Preppy , Valley or even Sporty made no difference, as Ryan Wuerch said, Just be yourself , and that's just what the students did. The changing styles made a big difference on the clothes they wore, but overall, Moore West was always considered very fashionable , TOUCHING THINGS UP, Misty Croninger finds time to freshen up between classes. lT'S NOT PETER PANg it's Shelley Hoze and John Galbraith taking it easy before the first bell rings.

Finding a ride home was most important. Most students tried to bum a ride with friends to avoid riding the school bus. After reaching their destinations, students either jammed out with MTV fa video music television stationl, listened to their stereo, watched television or talked to others on the telephone. As the evening progressed, studying and doing homework was a regular rou- tine, or at least was supposed to be. Dates were common but usually not until Friday nights. Students often went to the movies, out to eat wth friends or to one of the popular arcade centers. After cruising the downtown strip, students went their separate ways to get ready for yet another day.

No matter where it was heard or who said it, it was always a true symbol of pride and spirit. Going to games and cheering for the Lions was a good chance for students to realize that they were standing to- gether to cheer the Lions onward, even though they weren't actually a Lion yet. Looking forward to being a Lion in their junior and senior years is the goal of many students, 14 Stident Lite A few of the students from Moore to be- West were fortunate enough come a part of the Lion team during their freshmen or sophomore years. Some were on the football and base- ball teams, while others chose to run track or participate in swimming and gymnastics or play basketball. Our students, whatever they were attempting, always did themselves and Moore West proud.

As the community has grown, so has the spirit of the town that was once called the fastest growing community in the state. Just a few of the many attractions in Moore are the 12th Street park, The Movies in Moore, Factory Outlet Mall and the newest attraction, the Com- munity Center. At a quick glance Moore looks like a Student Life quiet little town, but what people canlt see is the drive and determination that has made Moore what it is today. Whether it is participating in elections, helping organizations and local groups raise money for worthy causes or tak- ing part in the 75th Diamond Jubilee anniversary celebration, citizens were constantly on the move. Moore has come a long way since 1893 when it was founded. With Moore faces in Moore places, how could Moore go wrong?

Attending school, of course, was often the worst complaint. Stu- dents also thought they could do with- out homework, jammed lockers, grouchy teachers, wasting paper on math problems instead of writing a note, short lunch hours, a broken type- writer in typing class, punishment for tardies, someone who speaks preppy , long classes, five page compositions or one page composi- tions, people who primp continually, high prices at lunch, lockers on the bottom row, such short breaks be- tween classes, going to class with greasy hands from auto mechanics, ini- tiation, gory driver ed films, publica- tions deadlines, people who comb their hair in the wind, dances on week nights and speed bumps. Students also disliked not having a fair day, having to take extra courses to graduate, 180 school days, having to kiss a mannequin in health, having to learn another language when you haven't accomplished English, singing with a sore throat, needing a pass to use the restroom, dissecting poor inno- cent creatures in science, parents hav- ing conferences with teachers, tools rolling off your drafting desk, closed campus, forgetting to wash your gym clothes, memorizing millions of lines in drama, having to cling to the back seat when someone accelerates the driverfs ed car and having to stand in bad weather waiting for a late bus. ,ir , K FOR SOME STRANGE reason, Lisa Hanson thinks it works to comb her hair in the wind.

Most of them agreed that a good figure was the most important trait, while others preferred an outgo- ing personality. James Richardson stated he liked great legs while Scott Gordy went for pretty eyes and little ears. Others such as Clay Crouch looked for honesty and sincerity. Mar- shall Rea replied that he liked a girl who was sexy and had all the qualities of a feminine woman, especially gent- leness. A good figure and a great per- sonality were the most attractive quali- ties guys noticed more often. As Ron- nie Graham put it, Almost all girls turn me on.

Now students are expected to set good examples for the upcoming freshmen and show them that they are young adults and are expected to act accordingly. This means much more responsibility. At the same time it does have its good points. It offers such freedoms as being able to get a job to earn extra money for those extended curfew hours, the celebrating of their six teenth birthday and finally being old enough to get their driver's license. Being the leaders of the school is a great challenge for any age and the sophomores did a great job. Now it is the freshmens' turn to take the chal lenge.

S X Students Enjoy Their Weekends What are we going to do this week- end? was a common question asked by most of the students of West Mid High. What do they do? There were many activities in which students par- ticipated during the school year. People who had a case of video mania had many places to go. Among the favorites were Starbucks Family Fun Center in Moore and l.eMans in Crossroads Mall. Some people hung out at movie theaters, especially at Reding 4 and Movies in Moore. Cross- roads was a favorite place for shop- ping sprees. Many students could be found at Crystals pizza parlor, too. The pizza, other Italian foods and the attractions in the game room were fa- vorites. The most popular hangout was 12th Street where students visited friends and enjoyed cruising. Going out on weekends wasn't al- ways necessaryg some students found other ways to have fun. Some played football, basketball or soccer in the front yard while others watched televi- sion or talked to friends on the tele- phone. A few lucky ones could be found actually working at real jobs. The students filled their weekends with shopping, cruising, visiting friends, working or just plain having fun. All good things have to come to an end, including weekends. When the weekend was over, however, many students immediately started thinking of next weekends plans. Rl . .fr .

Sherry Coberley Nine weeks tests were the most dreaded events of the school year. The purpose of these exams was to see what the students had learned over a given period of time. When asked how they felt about this, their views differed greatly. Studying is pretty good because it gives you the feeling that you've learned something, said Keri Canna- day. Tony Burchett admitted, Tests take too long to study for, but it does help you. I don't really care about studying, but some teachers make too much out of it, Kelly Tennyson replied. Rhonda Brown felt, Tests are gross, and I don't have time to study for them anyway. Totally disgusting because if I study, I make an 'F' anyway, said Kim Schanafelt. Time spent studying varied, too. Students could be found studying from three days to ten minutes before the actual test. Whether the tests were writing, typing or acting, teachers al- ways got the same reactions, Nine weeks tests . . . gag me! l N I - McCoin, David McCoy, Holly McCoy, Mitzi McDaniel, Gary McFall, Robbie McGowen, Ricky McGregor, Scott McNutt, Davida McNutt, Jolie Melson, James Freshmen 41 Melton, Toni Metcalf, John Meyer, Pat Miller, Heather Miller, Jolanda Miller, Sabrina I Miller, Tina Mills, Damon Missik, Jeff Mitchell, Pam Mitchell, Robert Moates, Lisa Molskness, Kim Monroe, Lisa Monroe, Mike Montgomery, Daron Moon, Kevin Moore, Rhonda Morgan, Bryan Morgan, Denise He's So ine Not all girls look for the same type of guys. Some girls go for the type with lots of muscles while others go for the brains. There is one quality both must have and that is a great personality. Looks and personality are really im- portant but a good sense of humor and a great smile are also important, replied Kim Thompkins. Other qualities girls looked for in guys were their style and build, said Shelby Brooks, while Renee Hunter stated that she liked guys with sparkling eyes and tight fitting jeans. Guys are on the girls minds probably more often than any other subject. They are just one of the many necessities, You can't live with them, but you can't live without them , or so they say.

We all had our share of these times, but students always seemed to spend it in their own ways. Many students wrote notes to friends, read hot rod magazines or took a nap, while others chose to be creative and wrote in their books, doodled on their desks or flew paper airplanes. The sneaky students often chose to cause trouble by sneaking candy into class. As far as students were concerned there were many ways to make class time more bearable.

LINDA BUTCHEE returns to school despite the leg cast and crutches. Teach ers eturn, ixed Feelings At the beginning of every school year each teacher has different thoughts and feelings about school. Some are anxious and excited to see the students or to renew acquain- tences with their fellow teachers or to be able to try using all the fun teaching techniques they learned in summer school. Others wonder if they really want to return to the everyday chore of grading stacks of papers, to be the sponsor of a very active club or to have the numerous discipline prob- lems that inevitably occur.

Teachers actually had separate lives and activities from their classroom duties although many times their spare time did involve the school in one way or another. Some enjoyed playing on the faculty softball team, going on a trip to a far-away place or just spending some time with their families. Not all their spare time was on weekends or long breaks. Some of this time was spent before or after school, oftentimes with students. Attending 8 a.m. meetings, sitting in the teachers' lounge talking and grading papers, meeting parents or other teachers about students' performances, helping students with their school work or just taking stolen moments for relaxation are some ways teachers spent extra time. Some teachers even did things for themselves. A few were seen preparing reports or assignments for college classes they were taking for advanced de- grees or getting together with fellow teachers and exercising in aerobics and jazzercise to relax or un- wind. Some just lounged around the house and re- laxed while they tried to get themselves together after frenzied hours at school with all the hustle and bustle and yelling and screaming of their students. Whatever ways teachers found to spend their spare time, they never seemed to have enough.

Even though the team didn't win as many games as they had anticipated, each member still contributed their best. The three coaches who worked with the team during the summer and every day after school until the season ended were Head Coach Mark Hunt, Coach Pat Nolen and Coach Larry Cornelison. Hunt coached mainly the offense and helped the defensive secondary. Cornelison was in charge of the defensive linebackers and ends and the offensive line. Nolen trained the specialty units, the punters and kickers, and helped coach the offensive receivers and the defensive line. Among the individual records, Devin Slemp had three 100-yard rushing games which was never achieved last year. Robert Mitchell and Mitch Paddyaker each completed two interceptions while Tony Brinlee led the team in tack- les. Our losses were generally due to injuries and lack of consistency, commented Coach Hunt. Even though the team didn't always come out the winner, they were never considered losers. They always stuck together whether they won or lost, and really showed that they were truly a team made up of winners.

Both the coaches and the team members were excited about the Lawton game because they had beaten them while playing against Lawton's home advantage. Midwest City was their hardest loss, according to Fernberg. The best parts of being on the team were the games we won and some of the practices, when we didn't have to run sprints, Cook added. Fernberg was responsible for coaching the defensive and offensive lines. Coach Lynn Wilke was in charge of the secondaries and receivers while Coach Mike Hooper in- structed defensive ends and the offensive line. Coach David Hinkley coached the backs and linebackers. We also had six tenth graders who qualified to play for the high school football team. These six had to qualify against players that were older than they were which took some extra work. As Dean Hodge put it, lt doesn't make any difference who you play for, you still have to give 110071 in whatever you do. Commenting on the power of the Lions, Tony Taken said, The defense started out great while our offense was improving. By the end of the season the offense was 100070 better. The guys could have given up, but instead they worked harder and improvedf' Determined to win, Thomas Ballas rushes onto the field to help his teammates win. 58 10th Football eos xg:-si: Putting forth much effort and determination, Quarterback Brent Cook waits for the snap by Center Greg Stice. 10TH FOOTBALL - Front Row: Coach Lynn Wilke, Shelly Richardson, manager, Angie Wil- son, manager, Coach Brad Fernberg, Second Row: Jerry Parker, Tony Taken, Clellen Cody, James Vestal, Mark Goodgion, Bruce Harrison, Marshall Rea.

They compiled a record of five wins and fifteen losses. We didn't have a winning season, but in many ways we were still winners by not giv- ing up on ourselves, individually or as a team, said Coach Cindy Bennett. There were several dedicated play- ers who did outstanding jobs, many over the course of our season and some before and after injuries. Kristi Lewis was voted the best hustler for- wardg Teri Smith, most improved guardg Teri Wattie, most improved forwardg Kayla Cook and Kim Pom- plun, best attitudeg Jayne Caffey and Ria Kiper, most dedicatedg and Mitzi McCoy, best sportsmanship.

The score was 35-34, Moore in the process of defeating Ed- mond. The Bulldogs weren't ready to quit though. During the last few seconds, the ball was shot, ending the game 35- 36. A great disappointment, but our sophomore girls still took second place at the Moore tournament. That was one of the only four out of seventeen games that were lost by the Moore sophomore girls' basketball team this season. They still came out on top with a whopping thirteen wins. Each player contributed well throughout the year, said Sam McElvaney, head coach, with outstanding plays at one time or anotherfl Freshman Rhonda Patterson played well both as guard and as forward. Other players from West were Deanna Young, forward, averaging 12.4 points a game, and Sherri Horst, guard. According to McElvaney, the girls learned a great deal even though they had a lot of pressure on and off the court. ALTHOUGH BEING DOUBLE-TEAMED by her opponents, Deanna Young successfully jumps above the others to make two points. 62 10th Girls' Basketball 10TH GIRLS' BASKETBALL WEST OPP. 48 Midwest City 36 39 Midwest City 25 Mustang 29 56 Edmond 54 Western Heights 37 47 Yukon 46 Mustang 38 60 Choctaw 38 Choctaw 31 43 Norman 23 Noble 20 28 Yukon 35 Edmond 36 52 Choctaw 28 Western Heights 26 64 Edmond 43 Norman 32 DEANNA YOUNG attempts to pass the ball to one of her teammates. 10TH GIRLS' BASKETBALL FRONT ROW: Paula Matthews, Lori Benson, Leslie Pritner.

Being one of those times, the team held a record of two wins and nine losses. Even though the season record wasn't what the team wanted, accord- ing to Coach Jerry Smith, the team worked hard and performed together with understanding and patience. Smith felt the team's defense was of- ten poor because the players tried to hurry and choked. The offensive unit played very well. The Tigers finished seventh in the Moore Invitational Tournament and were defeated in the Western Oaks Tournament. The high shooters of the team were Gary McDaniel, shooting 31 points in the game against Edmond, and Kirk Lutz, shooting 19 points against Del Crest. The players who have improved the most were Todd Corn, Donny Evans and Paul Selig, said Coach Smith. They may not have won most of their games and there were times when they felt too down to get back up, but they never lost sight of probably their biggest goal, to con- tinue to compete as a team.

According to sophomore coach, Mr. Horace Bruff, the team's goal was to win every game of the season. For the Moore teams of the past, this had been unrealistic, but this year was dif- ferent. To this date we have not lost a game in which all the sophomores have played, he said. The Tigers proudly held a record of fifteen wins and five losses. They fin- ished second in the Norman Tourna- ment and placed fourth in the Moore Tournament. There were several spe- cial and talented people on the team. Brent Cook, Greg Graumann, Dean Hodge and Terry Pritchard all played junior varsity and varsity basketball. Terry was also a starter for the varsity. With the help of Jeanie Price, the team's manager, snags were passed over smoothly, according to Bruff. We were optomistic at the begin- ning of the season, said Coach Bruff. The players have worked hard and have proved to be winning basketball players.

They were undefeated at homecoming 49-11. The big upset of the season was losing the Geary Tournament after leading most of the way. Sophomores Joe Reynolds and Troy Gentry were start- ers on the high school varsity team. Joe placed third at the Edmond regionals and qualified to compete in the state meet. His season record was 22-10. Troy's record was 6-6. Junior varsity wrestler Marshall Rea competed for the var- sity team in the Tulsa Tournament, placing fourth while the team won first. The junior varsity team took third place at the Mustang Tournament. Our wrestlers worked harder than any other team I've ever had, said Coach Larry Cornelison of the freshmen wrestling team. lt showed as we steadily and continually improved every match throughout the season. When the season started they were looking at a possible 2-8 record and a near last place finish. The team actually finished the dual season at 5-5, finishing at seventh place out of four- teen teams at the Moore Tournament. The main weakness we had was our lack of experience, decided Cornelison. He was very pleased with the game against Centralg West won 28-29. There were two outstanding wrestlers. Jimmy Filippo and T.J. Sewell. Jimmy had a record of 20-O. He placed first at the Mustang, Moore and Edmond Tournaments. He was the only freshman to wrestle with the high school varsity team at regionals. T.J. had a record of 21-3. He placed second at the Mustang and Moore Tournaments, and third at Edmond.

Track involved several different events, 100 yard dash, 220, 440, 800, one mile, two mile, hurdles, long jump, high jump, pole vault, shot-put, discus, two mile relay, one mile relay and 440 relay, whereas cross country was usu- ally one three-mile race. Students didnlt need experience to be in track, but they needed endur- ance, a desire to excel and the willing- ness to work hard, according to Coach Pat Becher. Most of the practices were held outside in all kinds of weather. The season started as early as January and ended in May. Runners practiced one-and-a-half hours while students participating in the field events spent up to two hours each day practicing. A few of the outstanding tracksters were Mark Brackenhoff, Lloyd Smith, John McLaughlin, and John Birdwell. We were very excited about the sea- son and we did quite well, replied Coach Pat Becher. With all the prac- tices, tournaments and meets, it was no wonder the track team stayed so busy.

Better Than The Rest The boys' cross country team made the second best finish in any boys' var- sity sport in this school since 1952, according to Pat Becher, head coach. Along with being state runners-up, re- gional runners-up and conference champions, they won seven major invi- tationals and went through it all with good attitudes, dedication and hard work. Their season record was 104 wins with only 15 losses. Sophomores Pat Russell finished fifteenth in the state, Mike Webb, twenty-sixth. Similarly, the girls' cross country team performed very well. They placed third in the state meet, third in regionals and were conference run- ners-up. They won five individual team championships. All-staters Laura Blackburn and Te- resa Swartz placed third and sixth at state. Freshman Cheryl Ericson made the varsity team for the state meet. I like cross country because it is challenging. Every time you go out you are trying to do better,'l said Christie Cook. 74 Cross Country 5 476 W Qi s s gi: MIKE DANDRIDGE, Matt Fite, Jesse Mashburn, Pat Black, Patrick Russell, Robert Williams, John McLaughlin and Mark Brackenhoff warm up before a meet.

Gymnastics was an elective course that taught students how to work with several types of apparatus. Some of the activities were aerobics, floor exer- cises, tumbling and working on the parallel bars. Gymnastics helped stu- dents with their coordination and self- confidence. The goal for the divers was to com- pete in the state championships. The divers were required to learn five types of dives including front, back, reverse, inward and twisting. John Ad- ams and Grant Thomas placed second and third in the Okie Conference. They both qualified to compete in the state meet. Being on the swim team meant much dedication. Practice sessions be- gan before school at 5:30 a.m. and resumed after school for another hour or two. Swimmers often lifted weights to help strengthen their bodies. The team placed first in the Okie Confer- ence. Two team members, Tresa Win- stead and Tami Renfro competed at state.

The student body elects the officers and representa- tives. It is a small copy of our larger democrative society. The STUCO officers and representatives are trained to be responsive and responsible to their constituents, ex- plained Mrs. Diane Loffelholtz, sponsor. Student Council provided activities for every month. They started the year with Howdy Week which began on a Monday with a tribute to the teachers and ended with a Western Day and a Howdy assembly on Friday. STUCO'S other activities included a special Christmas assembly and 50-60's day assembly in which students, fac- ulty and organizations participated in raising school pride and spirit. They also held an outdoor assembly honoring the seventy-fifth birthday of our state. Homerooms took part in the Christmas door decorating and dressed up for dress-up day, sock-it day, 50-60's day, hats-off day and sweathog day. Student Council also sponsored many fund raisers such as selling of spirit links, student directories, Cupid Express and the Sweetheart dance. STUCO supported the PTSA membership drive, homecoming dance, open house and the selling of spirit t-shirts. They also sent officers and sponsors to a special convention of the Oklahoma Association of Student Councils in Yukon. Student Council is an organization to bring communica- tion and unity between students and the administration. It's activities keep school from becoming reptitious and stero- typed, said Jeanie Price, historian. Student Council 83 - A.,k . A T KK,.

In the new diet and fitness class the students learned how and why. Diet and fitness taught me how to take care of myself, stated Kim Lessman, while Sherry Arnold said, I enrolled in diet and fitness to slim down and firm up. P.E. was an inter- esting class where the main subject taught was sports. Basketball, tennis and flag football were three of the ac- tivities in which students participated. There were classes for keeping the body fit and a club for the soul. Fellow- ship of Christian Athletes. We have so many classes that teach us about health, diet and exercise, keeping our bodies fit, it's good that we had a club to help keep our souls fit, explained Jamie Price. I think FCA has helped me grow spiritually, said Kristi Ran- del. Whenever we talked during devo- tion we found out other people had the same problems we had, this helps you to learn how to deal with each one. Shelley Green, president, stat- ed, I joined FCA because l'm a Chris- tian and l wanted to be in a Christian Organization at school with my Ivinrs,-I- uncuua.

This is the goal of all our spirit clubs, pom pon, cheerleading and the new group, Moore West Bleacher Creatures. Our spirit clubs support more than just sports. They contribute to helping Moore elementary school cheer- leaders in the E.C.l'l.O. program, clin- ics, parades and special fund raisers. Moore West cheerleaders won four su- perior ribbons, three spirit sticks and the spirit award at the O.U. Thunder- hawk cheerleading camp this summer. They were chosen to represent Okla- homa at regional finals in Dallas, Tex- as. During the fall clinic we received a trophy and one superior ribbon, expressed Kristi Randel. We've got more because we work hard! Five days a week, three hours a day during the summer and now we practice everyday when there is no game, expressed Shelly Green, head cheerleader. Tiger pom pon girls received the spirit stick when competing at the O.U. pom pon clinic. They also accom- plished first place in the over-all com- petition at the O.S.U. contest. The reason we do so well is because every- one enjoys their position in supporting the school. lt's hard work but it pays off in the end. That's why I love it! said Michelle Montgomery, co-captain of the pom pon squad. 88 Spirit Boosters .',.

Vo-ag students learned animal sci- ence, plant science, soil science and agriculture mechanics. lt gave stu- dents a general knowledge of agricul- ture. To be in the club FFA, students had to be enrolled in vo-ag. FFA mem- bers used their skills outside of school. They entered animals in the state and county fairs, worked in machine shops, did welding and used their tech- niques in learning to farm land. ROTC was sponsored by the United States Army Junior ROTC. Class members learned patriotism, respect for their country, leadership, discipline and courtesy. They often had march- ing drills and inspection. For a field trip, they visited a military installation base. Auto mechanics was taught at the high school for three hours. The stu- dents learned by hands-on experience. They worked directly with cars sup- plied by customers outside the school. Class studies included car mainten- ance, engine parts, auto and engine safety and repair. These technical courses were not always the most popular with every- one, but very important to a select group of the student body. They played an important role as on-the-job training and provided the first step to- ward a better future. BRIAN WILLIAMS and Rudy Jackson put the finishing touches on the FFA bulletin board. FFA, Vo-Ag, ROTC, Auto Mechanics 91 It's Not Your Basic Science For those students who enjoyed sci- ence, this was a very educational year. In the past the only classes offered were standard science, biology, chem- istry, physics and health. For the bene- fit of these students an additional class and club were adopted, Personal Health and Testing QPHAT Labl and Project Research. PHAT Lab gave students a chance to learn about the health and care of their bodies. They were presented with filmstrips and guest speakers. Students also had a chance to give themselves complete checkups. All procedures were done in the class- room and under the supervision of Mr. Pat Becher. The Science Club was renamed Pro- ject Research and sponsored by Mrs. Starlyn Brown, Mr. Joe Dodson and Mr. Jeff Short. The main goal for starting this club was to give science students laboratory and field exper- ience above and beyond a text book, stated Mr. Dodson. Mrs. Brown was glad this club was added to the curricu- lurn. She feels that our future depends on the advancement of science and technology.

Foreign Language, Home Ec I if S All Greek oMe lt,s all Greek to me was what many students thought before entering their chosen electives of foreign lan- guages and home economics. Most of my students come to my classes with no prior knowledge of the subject. lt is very exciting and rewarding to open their minds to new worlds of communi- cation, said Mrs. Linda Savage, teacher and sponsor of the foreign lan- guage classes and club. Classes of first and second year French and Spanish are offered. The Foreign Language Club added a special twist to the art of learning new languages by the election of officers, meetings, fund raisers and special parties. A stove and sewing machine was as Greek to many students as foreign lan- guage. I enjoy watching students learn that a needle and thread aren't so difficult to use and that they can do more than boil water or cook pizza and toastf' explained Mrs. Kathy McCor- mick. To many students' surprise, cooking and sewing was only the be- ginning. They learned about dating, marriage, family life, child care, ca- reers, housing and drug and alcohol abuse. These subjects were also cov- ered in basic life, a mini-course of Home Ec I. To enhance their educa- tion in Home Ec several students par- ticipated in Future Homemakers of America, sponsored by Mrs. McCor- mick and Mrs. C. J. West.

Past, Presen t Fu ture There were many programs at school dealing with the past, present and future. History was a study of the past and how it was affecting the future. All students were required to take history courses. Freshmen took Oklahoma and United States history where soph- omores strengthened their knowledge by adding U.S. History II and Ill. Stu- dents of both classes broadened their view of history by participating in the new club Youth in Government. It brought the past into the present. As members studied laws and wrote new ones, they learned how each law af- fected them as youths. Courses were also offered to help students prepare for the future. Many business classes were provided from which students could choose. Many students chose Typing I or II, personal typing, notehand, accounting, general business and record keeping. Each class taught skills that could help stu- dents in future careers. Junior Achievement was a club open to busi- ness students who had a desire to run their own business. They dealt with designing, financing, producing and distributing a product. Each of these classes and clubs was dedicated to remembering the past, respecting the present and preparing for the future.

Youth ln Government, Junior Achievement 99 ractice, ra ct1ce A common event for band classes was waking up early in the morning and going to school for practice. These dedicated students spent many long hours learning their music. The time they spent practicing paid off at contests and assemblies. Mr. Gregg Torres, band instructor, was a great inspiration and motivator for many of his students. He's a real- ly nice guy. He helps me on many things and I don't think l could learn this kind of music on my ownf' said Annette Harris. The band calender was filled with many events. In October they partici- pated in the Tulsa State Fair parade and the Moore High School Home- coming parade. They performed at the Christmas, Winter and Spring con- certs. They also competed in many concerts with much success. They placed third in AA high school divi- sion, superior at district and first in their division at Central State. Individual honors received included Kendall Gray, all-state band, Steve Pennington, Eric Fox and Kendall Gray made central Oklahoma all-dis- trict band. With the cooperation of everyone this year's band was great, said Tandi Ritter.

We worked many long hard hours preparing for different events, said Dana DePriest. We didn't always place first, but we learned a great deal and had a tremendous time.', ln contests such as the one in Ada, the girls' chorus received an excellent rating. The soloists and ensembles did quite well. Contests are a good learn- ing experience and really fun, said Keri Cannaday.

Although this class was an elec- tive, most students felt it was a stan- dard requirement. No one knew what to expect except the fear of parallel parking. Mr. Pat Nolen, Mr. Larry Lis- ton and Mr. Harry Taylor taught not only how to start and stop a car, but also many laws and state regulations. Many students expressed them- selves by cruising through career-ori- ented classes that required a certain flair or art to achieve. Favorite past- times of many students, Art I and II, was taught by Mrs. Diane Loeffelholtz, while Mrs. Ann Fields taught arts and crafts. These courses brought many creative minds together as they ex- pressed themselves through paintings, macrame, ceramics and sketches. Industrial arts classes were usually dominated by boys, although girls had begun to take quite an interest in these subjects. Drafting was taught by Mr. Dan Cleaver and woodworking by Mr. George Whitmire. Whether working with wood or mechanical drawing, these students expressed themselves well in their specific art. 104 Driver Education, Arts WISHING THEY were crusing together, Jamie Foss, Michelle Montgomery and Tommy Nickle go through a routine of simulator driving.

S2- . - a Headlin es, Deadlines, B ylin es, Cu tlin es Staying after school, working on the weekends and giving up many lunch hours were just a few of the sacrifices both yearbook and newspaper stu- dents made. Students had to put forth much hard work and effort in order to meet those last minute deadlines which always seemed to be close at hand. A few members of the newspaper and yearbook staffs were already hard at work before school even began. They attended the Oklahoma Inter- scholastic Press Association work- shops at the University of Oklahoma. These summer, plus the fall and winter workshops, provided an opportunity for publications' students to learn from professionals from all over the United States' and to implement this knowl- edge in their publications. OIPA also offered a chance for both the Tiger '83 yearbook and West Words newspaper to compete against other newspapers and yearbooks to find the best publications in Oklaho- ma. Moore West publications did well in both areas. The West Words won highest honors while the Tiger ,82 re- ceived a merit standing. Both staffs continually worked hard toward mak- ing their publications successful.
