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.

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.
