Many threats are in the air such as peer pressure, tight schedules, lack of self confidence, family responsibilities, distinguishing between wants and needs, low grades, jobs without benefits . to name a few. Once you learn the ropes and get into the swing of things, your freshman year will be a breeze, right? First of all, freshmen don’t get into the swing of things. So what do you do? Play it off, get through the year as quickly and discreetly as possible. Prepare to conquer your sophomore year. But wait, now you have to make some decisions. What classes to take, what clubs to join, how to get a car out of your parents as soon as you get your license. This year could be fun if you make the right choices and play your cards right. You could try to get invited to the Jr. Sr. prom. Now, look ahead to the junior year. What could be hard? Your decisions have been made, you're accepted socially, and you just got your first job. What could be simpler . . . (Going back to freshman year, probably). Now you just need a plan to get up at 7:00 to be ready by 8:00 and get to school in time for class to start at 8:30, go through seven periods of classes, and try not to fall asleep. Then you depart from school at 3:05 rushing to the same old job without having a decent thing to eat all day. You try not to worry about all the homework you have waiting for you when you get off at 9:00. You get home by 9:30, start homework immediately after dinner and finish around 11:30. Then you finally hit the sack after laying out your clothes for another day of school. It was not everything it was cracked up to be. One thing to look forward to was your Jr. Prom. All you have to do is wait patiently to be asked, or get up the nerve to do the asking. Piece of cake. Also you might want to start thinking about life after high school, as in “college.” Here It is your senior year. This is what you’ve been waiting for. Not much to worry about this year, just wrap everything up. While you’re taking your SAT, ACT, and competency tests you don't want to forget about the college deadlines. Remember when it comes around, you only have one month to get those applications in. Don’t procrastinate! If you're still breathing and are able to show up for graduation, you should have no problem surviving in the real world!! 2 3 Eye Opening At first glance the 1987-88 school year may seem much like any other. But after a closer look, some changes took place which make this year more than a year to simply remember, it was one that won’t be forgotten. We had our Football Spirit Week in October. The Student Council put together a terrific Spirit Week Parade. Grades 9-12 each entered a float and businesses around town took part, too. During Christmas Student Council sponsored their annual food drive to feed the needy in Wilson. The classes had a contest to see who brought the most food. This year the Wilson High School Band won second place in the State Fair Parade and they won first in their division at the Ardmore Christmas Parade. They put on a great show at the Football Homecoming celebration and during the spring the band delighted us with their Spring Concert. The biggest change occured between semesters. Mr. Arnold retired and Mr. Labeth was promoted to superintendent. Mr. Holloway took Mr. Labeth’s place as high school principal. Every year holds different experiences for the students of Wilson High. We must take the good with the bad and make each year better than the last! REMEMBER WHEN ... Remember when Wilson and Lone Grove police were looking for Charlett and Sabrina. Remember when we didn’t have a Happy Hour Gang for lunch. Remember when Brett. Miles, and Doug played with Hot Wheels on the playground. Remember when Brian kissed the bride on the playground. Remember when Mrs. Biles had to rescue Denise and Aylisa from the monkey bars. Remember when the seniors of 88 were the largest class in school. Remember when the girls didn’t have to go to the office to check out toilet paper. Remember when everyone thought Felipe was a rock star from Brazil. Remember when Brad Gray almost had a wreck in Lone Grove during driver’s ed and scared Coach Weaver half to death. ifJretl Cfaxlon Ka tin (Ia CUiott Christy J oJJ 12 Eirst there were flappers, then bobby socks, then tniks and hippies. For longer than anyone can remember there have been fads — things that are either “in” or “out”. This year is no exception so we decided to find out what was cool in 1988. Our poll, taken among the 9th through 12th grades, surveyed the latest crazes. Tiffany and Randy Travis topped the list as favorite vocalists. AC DC made the top of the list as super group of the year. From the number of votes it was clear that Dirty Dancing was the overwhelming choice for movie of the year. Tom Cruise got favorite male actor and Whoopi Goldberg caught the most votes for female actress. The Cosby Show, a half-hour show of non-stop laughter, hit the top of the list as favorite TV show. From the results of the poll it was obvious that many students spent most of their free time down town. Far and away the most appetizing outcome of the poll was the choice of pizza as fast food favorite. Since trends are constantly changing, what’s in today could very easily be out tomorrow. As a matter of fact, someday when you look back at this poll, maybe show it to your children, they may ask “ AC DC — who were they?” eniord °f 1988 HjurulzLy Senior Aylisa Michele Beaver (Lisa) Basketball Cheerleader 4, Band 1, 2, 3, 4, Flags 1, 2, 3, 4, Band Queen Candidate 2, Outstanding Bandsman 2, 3, SCOBDA Honor Band 2, 3, Beta Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Beta Club Historian 3, Beta Club President 4, Native American Club 2, 3, 4, Annual Staff 3, 4, Journalism 3, 4, FHA 1, 2, 3, 4, FHA Song Leader 2, FHA Secretary 4, Oklahoma Honor Society 2, 3, 4, National Honor Society 3, 4, Curriculum Meet 1, 2, 3, 4, Girls State Attendant 3, David Boren Award 2, Wiley C.

Ask any Junior and you will get a very definite “NO”. The junior year involves a lot of expenses. We’re not talking about small expenses such as lunch money, locker fees, and school supplies. We re talking about big expenses — such as in class rings. Juniors at Wilson High School have ordered class rings for as long as anyone can remember. But there have been some changes. The Juniors of 1988 have a lot larger selection of rings than in previous years. They also have a lot larger price tag. In 1948 you could order a 14K ring with rubies fot $17. The cost of a 10K ring for the Juniors of 1988 is around $250. That means that the cost of a ring increased over 1400% in the forty years between ,1948 and 1988! The Juniors of 1988 have these words of wisdom for all the underclassmen: “START SAVING NOW”.

Taking Driver’s Education means they can get their driver’s permit and then their license. The first nine weeks they study the handbook so they will learn and understand the rules of the road. The second nine weeks they use what they’ve learned and attempt to drive. At first it’s bumpy and there are lots of mistakes. By the end of the semester they think they are old pros at driving, but Coach Weaver and everyone else knows different. Several sophomores told about their likes and dislikes of Driver’s Ed. Deana McDonald — “1 liked having free time to study Biology.” Lee Phillips — “I didn’t like it when Coach Weaver locked our class up in the gym.” Valerie Rutledge — “I liked getting to stop at stores.” Kevin Garrett — “I didn’t like watching Coach Weaver twirl his mustache.” Compliments of Jimmy Leta Sullivan 27 Class Favorites Darin Farrell and Karl Parrish swing to the music of the fifties.

Freshman An Appropriate Name The term “freshman” is an approapriate name for ninth grade students. They are starting fresh. They have finished their elementary and middle school years and are beginning their high school years. The freshman year is the year students start gaining credits. The 1988 freshman class will have to have 24 credits accumulated at the end of their senior year in order to graduate. The grades they receive in their classes become even more important because the high school transcript has a bearing on their ability to get a job and be admitted to college. Freshman students usually have a more active social life also. They start getting to participate in high school activities, and some get to start dating. Because of these new academic and social pressures, the freshman year is usually more difficult to get through than previous years.

Class Officers Dustin Cormany (President), Samantha Hull (Sec Treas.), and Jason Roberts (Reporter) enjoy one of the most popular cars of the 60’s. 8th Grade Students Anticipate Changes Most classes at Wilson look back to aii that has been accomplished, but the 8th grade students look forward in time to next year when they will hopefully make it to high school. What is ahead of them is a lot of hard work such as Mr. Gunter’s General Science, Mrs. Talker’s English I, and Mr Davis’ Algebra I. They will also have to start accumulating the credits they will need to graduate in 1992. When asked how they felt about the coming transition, most had the same reaction. They really didn’t mind making the change from being the oldest in middle school to being low man on the totem pole in high school. Melanie Hale — It really doesn’t matter to me. Some of the freshmen now are stfll top dogs and some of the eighth graders now are better than them. Tom Shin — Everybody has to start somewhere. Michelle Gray — It would be better to start as a freshman and go up than to be a senior for four years. Bonnie Hodges — Who says we’re gonna be low man on the totem p i Abby Richardson — I don’t think it will change the way I am dl|fhe way I act.

Seventh Grade Faced Changes Seventh graders had a change this year when they moved from the element die school building. They were faced with new teachers and a different atmosphere. Lori Farrell said “the newest things were having a locker and having less people in the'building.” Being in the same building as the superintendent means they have to learn more dis- cipline. Being quiet in the halls is one of the __________________wdo and they aren’t allowed to decorate the outside of their lockers. The school hired Mrs. Ritchey this year and she’s Jeremy McDonald’s favorite teacher. “I like her because she’s entertaining and her class isfi’t boring,” Jeremy said.

One thing that makes it exciting is that they get to start sports. The boys have the opportunity'to play football and basketball and the girls have the opportunity to be a cheerleader and play basketball. This is the first of many years of these activities. R Fifth grade students also get to start changing classes. Up until the fifth grade students had the same teacher all day. Changing classes help fifth graders get ready for middle and high school. The following is what some of the fifth graders liked best about this year. Destinee Hutcherson -playing basketball Darci Gazaway -get to do more than in the past Stacy Idleman -playing clarinet instead of flutophone Michelle Taylor -changing classes Jasmine Long watching our boys play ball Compliments of Joe Paulette Bates Ray Alstatt Michael Baumgartner Jaci Chatham Spring Craddock Jill Dewbre Joseph Gunter Donny Hacker Melissa Henry Billy Justus Alanah Lampkin William Mutziger Edna O'Daniel Kyle O'Dell Brandi Smith Misty Venne Dennis Wall GRADE CONQUERS The parents of the fourth grade class of 1988 have suffered through many hours of flutophone playing. Yes, this year our youngsters have started a new adventure, music. With Mr. Johnson’s help and encouragement, these kids will go on to learn from scratch and that means the dreaded flutophone. Some may fall off the path of musical genius and into that of a professional athlete. This is the year that many of the boys will start the games of football and basketball. As for the girls, this is the year they discover boys. They spend many hours looking in the mirror and gossiping about the boy of their dreams. They also discover the telephone. Many parents dread the period of their child’s life when all they need are the phone and a mirror.

Our reading skills have really matured and now we can zip through any reading lesson in no time flat. WOW! Next year we will be moved to the west side of the building and at last get to accomplish the task of gliding down the slide that sits on the big kids turf. We will miss our teachers Mrs. Asbury and Mrs. Dawson for they have helped us throughout the year learn new and different things. But won’t we make a fine graduating class in 1997?

It is quite a step from kindergarten to first grade. Students seem a little timid the first few days, but after they adjust it is really quite an adventure. Being away from mom and dad for a whole day is a new experience for some first graders. First grade students spend a lot of time learning to read, and believe it or not, first grade students still read about Dick and Jane. They also get their first taste of homework, which is an exciting adventure for them. This year is very important because the skills learned in the first grade form the foundation for future academic success. Compliments of Buck Gail Chatham 49 K.

At the beginning of the Mhr the staff got off to a slow start because of mechanical difficulties with the printers. But they got over tha bridge and headed to a great start. Mrs. Muncy was! tremendous amount of help to the staff. “If it wasn't for Mrs. Muncy we would never have got our first paper out; she really deserves all the credit’’, states Assistant Editor Robert Tynes “Journalism has taught us a lot, and it has let us use our imagination. Mrs. Muncy has pushed each of us to better ourselves as well as the paper. She is determined and thanks to that we are publishing some of the best papers ever, even wim our lack of equipment , states Special Events Editor Cindy Butler. The Journalism has not done much traveling this year, but has been a member of the OIPA (Oklahoma International Press Association). They went to Oklahoma City for a workshop and assembly to receive awards for the Eagle’s Voice aril writers who won awards for their stories.

Really, how hard can it be? Take a few pictures, stick em on a page, write a story, and it’s done, right? Oh, har de har har. It is a complete mystery how anyone ever got the idea that transforming 80 blank sheets of 18” x 12” blue graph paper into a 160 page book is easy. It requires almost superhuman quantities of vision, English skills, and the patience of a saint. Take for instance, the pictures on this page. Did they just magically appear? No. Did Harry Myers appear, pose everyone, and hand deliver perfect shots? No. Was a staff photographer practically forced at gunpoint to take and retake them until he got it right? That’s more like it. Of course, a story has to be writtem to fit the pictures, and then be typeset on a computer that can, at best, be called “difficult.” If it comes out, and if it is the right size, width and font; then it is put in a quad pak with the pictures. Then the layout, the story, and the pictures can all be lost at one convenient time. As if this were not enough, the book has to be sold and paid for. So, sponsor Christy Sudderth forced the annual staff to sell ads, Valentine balloons, and anything else that might make a dollar. It was not all ads and balloons, however. There were problems such as people not wanting their picture taken, people wanting their picture taken so they can be “cute,” people upset because their picture was not used (or it was, but they were next to someone they disliked), and people upset because their all important activity was ignored (usually because they didn’t tell us about it). Not to mention the silly little fact that the book has to be finished in the summer. All in all it was a thankless, payless, funless job. Why, then, was it done? “It’s all worth it on delivery day, when everyone gets their book and we know that they will be enjoying it for years to come” said Preston Loving , editor. Maybe he’s right. It may be worth it. At least they know that they worked harder for their “easy A” than anyone else.

The basic skills of cooking and sewing are an important part of adult life and FHA helps students learn these skills. Besides training in these basic skills, though, FHA has presentations for their members and some for the whole school. The guest speakers provide knowledge and helpful advice on a variety of subjects. This year FHA sponsored several fundraisers. Selling suckers and snacks were a big hit with the students. They also sold Tom Watt products and held the annual faculty vs. student basketball and volleyball games. FHA BEAU: Brian Hunziker The beau at his best.

Students attended many livestock shows and received many top placings. The Chapter also had several fund raisers during the year such as the annual Blue Gold Sausage sale and the annual Slave Sale. This year the first annual Black Gold Swine show was held. 1988 marked the first time that six students applied for State Farmer, the highest award a student of Future Farmers of America can receive on the state level. Also in 1988 Mike Copeland won grand champion at the Carter County Jr. Livestock Show, and was the first person from Carter County to be picked for the premium sale at the Oklahoma City Jr. Livestock Show.

Not Shown: Brad Sullivan-Treasurer, Kenny Emerson, Craig Smith. With all of the activities in which our school is involved some sort of group must organize and plan events. Student Council did just this. Student Council also helps the students and administration communicate with each other. “Student Council is important because the council starts various activities that promote good morale in the student body and the staff,” said Student Council President Robert Tynes. Student Council members are elected by their classmates at the beginning of the school year. Each class selects one boy and one girl to represent them in the council. The officers, however, are elected a year in advance by the whole student body. Each person running for office is given the chance to campaign and must give a campaign speech before the entire student body. The Student Council was responsible for organizing the homecoming parade as well as the Spirit Week contests. They also conducted a blood drive as a community service project. For fundraisers, the Student Council sold Eagle Pride pins and sponsored a powder puff football game. Kenny Emerson shows his hardware. I 1 79 That Winning Spirit The Wilson High School Cheerleaders had that winning spirit this year. To start off the year, the WHS cheerleaders, band, and football players placed first in the Football Saturday spirit contest at the Mountain View Mall in Ardmore. They received $100, which went into the cheerleading fund. The cheerleading squad received a new member on the team just after the Christmas break. The new member was very big and everyone welcomed him. “No your eyes are not playing tricks on you,” the new member was a 7 foot tall Eagle Mascot, bought by the All-Sports Club. “The Eagle was very entertaining during time-outs and at half-time during the games,” commented a loyal fan.

A Very Successful Year The Jr. High Cheerleaders attended the ICF cheerleading camp at Texas Women’s University in Denton. During the camp they won eight ribbons and learned many ways to keep up the spirit at ballgames. The cheerleaders sold candy bars to pay their way through camp. Lori Farrell served as mascot and Desiree Shores sponsored the Jr. High Cheerleaders. The elementary cheerleaders were busy with afternoon practices and going to each one of the games. They showed dedication and self discipline. The Jr. High and Elementary cheerleaders did a great job this 1987-88 football basketball season!

It is the most exciting, funfil led convention of the year. Only top students with a 3.0 average or above can participate in Beta Club. To prepare for convention the club must first raise money This year Beta Club sponsored Drunk Driving Awareness during Labor Day weekend. They tied yellow ribbons on car antennas to remind drivers to not drink and drive. Beta Club also sponsored a softball tournament in September. In February they held a blood drive. Finally April 18 came Beta Club members load ed the bus and headed for OKC This year they stayed at the Southgate Inn The sponsors were Mr and Mrs Ed Walker. Mr and Mrs. Bill Holloway, and Mr and Mrs Darrell Farrell After checking in at the hotel, they went to the Holiday Inn West where the convention was held. Earl Dethloff campaigned for State Vice President and our quiz bowl team competed with the other schools. Monday night was the banquet and state officer candidates gave their speeches and skits. After the banquet came the highlight of the convention the dance. Lights, smoke, and loud music filled the dance hall Teenagers forgot their schoolwork and responsibilities and boogied down! After the dance, starved, exhausted Beta members went back to their rooms and ordered pizza The next morning all Beta members met back at the Holiday Inn to vote for state officers and for the talent contest On the way home Beta members wished the convention had not ended But for most there’s always next year.

The life of a WHS band member can seem rather glorious, especially when the band captures top honors and awards. But, In order to keep the winning spirit all year, each of those 78 members must pitch in and do their part by practicing from beginning to end. This year’s schedule began August 20 at the annua) Healdton Rodeo Parade, where the pride of Wilson brought back a first place trophy and $100. The Gold Rush Flag Corps also took the outstanding flag corps award. The following week the band performed at the KVSO Football Saturday Spirit Contest at Mountain View Mall.

Throughout this time, the band also had per formances on Friday nights during football sea son. which required practice on the damp foot- ball field every morning at 8:30. Both the band and the drum major won 1st place in the annual Ardmore Children’s Christ' mas Parade This was the third consecutive year that the band has won both honors. While many athletes made the transition from football to basketball season, the band also transformed. The result was a concert band.

The Eagle defense wonders what the holdup is. Compliments of Midway Oil A winner is a person who wants to win and is one who will never lose respect, admiration, or love for the game. A winner must be a person who can accept defeat as well as victory. Each team after a game will have a different reaction. One team will enjoy a victory, the other the agony and bitterness of defeat. As for the victorious, there will be laughter and fun, and for those who care, even bragging and boasting. As for the defeated, there will be revenge, determination, and resolution. During the game the player will encounter many hurts, but a true winner will overcome these hurts and strive to the very best of his ability to become the victor. As for hurts, no hurt is as great as the pain of defeat, which leads some players to come down on themselves and put up excuses about why they lost. But the true winner will accept the defeat, and accept the fact that there is no reason for having lost. A true winner will have good conduct during the game so that the name of the team and school are not tarnished. A true winner will not run down other players on his team, but will encourage them. The true winner will hold his team together and be like one big family. Sophomore Bradley Sullivan shows a sigh of relief during a timeout. RECORD: 1 — 8 •ottom row Kevin Garrett. Randy Chapman.

Although they started out slow they picked up the pace and came out winners. They hit, ran, threw, caught, and hustled for a touchdown. But the lower football’s best quality was teamwork. Friends on and off of the field supported one another. This constant support was given to each player. Even when a player did not do well he could still feel confident because of the support of his team. The importance of the individual was stressed. The team was one unit, but individuals made up that unit. The coaches looked for hard work and a good attitude. Every player must get along with each other. These are the key elements to winning. Even though all of the games were not won the performance of the teams greatly improved throughout the season. The characteristics of these football players will help them in future years. These players will experience winning in years to come, whether in football or in any other sport. First row: Danny Way. Brad Whatley. Kris Henderson. Mike Faught, Jason Bates. Zane Gray.

Lady Eagles Fly High In 88 After finishing their season with a 6-13 record the Lady Eagles are hoping that next year will be better. “Though they played well, some of the games just didn’t fall through. In some of those games the guards and forwards just weren’t clicking with each other as a team. One end would play well and the other end just couldn’t get it together,” said Coach Buck Chatham. The Lady Eagles played with a few problems throughout the season. Just to name a few, Senior Denise Brinlee injured her knee at the beginning of the season and was out for the remainder of the year. Also Junior Kelly Emerson was out for a short period while recovering from injuries received from an automobile accident. One game that most of the Lady Eagles recall as the most exciting is the game against Healdton when the Lady Eagles defeated the Lady Bulldogs 47-43.

Pitching Problems Plague 88 Season The 1988 baseball season started in March with practice after school. The main goal of the team was to better their record of 15-12 from the previous year. The team lost four starters due to graduation, three of which were starting pitchers,therefore the team was in need of a pitcher. The only returning pitcher was senior Brian Hunziker who had pitched only two years. The others who pitched for the first year were senior Mike Copeland, junior Mark Idleman, sophomore Kevin Garrett, and freshman Jamie Monroe. “We are getting better as the season goes on and we hope to get back to a 500 season before the district tournament,” says coach Jim Weaver. “We are getting better as the season goes on ... ” — Coach Jim Weaver .' 0 r ’ i+. i- Bottom Row: Tommy Towler, Pat Summy, Mark Idleman, Bradley Newton, Kevin Garrett, Greg McMahan, and Joe McDonald.

The only Senior, Preston Loving excelled in the 110 high hurdles, and the 300 intermediate hurdles. He brought home 2 bronze medals in the 110 high hurdles and placed sixth in the area charts, also placing second at the regionals qualifying him for state in the 300 hurdles. Junior Shan Sanner showed his stuff in the 200 dash and the 400 dash. He qualified at several track meets and did a great job. Sophomore Kyle Chatham ran the 1600 meter run and the 3200 meter run. Kyle was also listed in the area charts fifth in the 3200 and sixth in the 1600. He won 3 silver medals in the 3200 and 4 bronze in the 1600.

The Junior girls breezed by the Freshmen girls in the first round of action. Then, in the second round of play, the Junior boys defeated the Freshmen boys, ending the first day of competition. The following day, the Sophomore girls stomped the Senior girls in the third game of the tournament. Later, the Sophomore boys pre- vailed once more against the Senior boys. Tension mounted on Friday as the finals rolled around. In the final round of the girl’s competition, the Juniors barely squeezed out a 3-point victory against the Sophomores. Wrapping up the tournament, the Sophomore boys thrilled the crowd with a star-spangled victory over the Junior boys, proving that the upper-classmen aren’t always number one.

Although almost all students look forward to having some free time, not all students spend their free time the same way. Many students enjoy spending their after school hours at the game room playing video games or pool. Others like to catch up on their movie watching, or spend some time fishing and hunting. For students who have transportation a lot of after school hours are spent dragging main or in the bank parking lot. Not all students are able to spend their after school hours doing whatever they want to. A lot of older students spend their after school hours working part time jobs to help on the expenses during their junior and senior years. And almost every age student has chores that they are expected to do at home. Upper Left: Kenny Emerson enjoys his after school hours eating pizza at the game room.

Bravof The 1987 Halloween Carnival was a frightening success1 A fun time was had by all. The young children enjoyed the fish pond, while the young at heart enjoyed trying their hand at bingo. Children of all ages enjoyed all the games, especially when they won a prize. The evening was topped off with the crowning of the Carnival King and Queen, Lance Straughn and Robin Mann. Lance and Robin represented Mrs. Chatham’s first grade class. Runner-up went to Mrs. Lowery’s second grade representatives, Jeremiah Forsytffie and Angie Hacker. “You don’t have to be a kid to have fun,” said these carnival booth workers.

The mothers supply cookies and punch while the teachers supply the entertainment. Christmas parties bring the joy of sharing and exchanging gifts. At the Valentine party each student passes out their valentines. These yearly parties make special memories for the children to remember throughout their life. Keep the parties going!

A banquet of some kind is scheduled for almost every Friday and Saturday night. Banquets are normally held at the end of the school year in order to honor students for that year’s achievements. Many clubs and organizations within the school have a banquet. The band has a banquet for all band students and their parents. Band awards are given during the banquet and the band queen and king are crowned. The Future Farmers of America Chapter has a banquet to announce proficiency award winners and to bestow green hand degrees to qualifying students and honorary degrees to qualifying parents. They also install the officers for the next school year. The Future Homemakers of America Chapter has a Ma. Pa, and Me banquet to honor FHA members and their parents. Officers for the next year are announced and awards are given to outstanding members. The sports banquet is held for students who participated in either football, basketball, baseball, track or cheerleading. Awards are given to the outstanding athlete in each sport. The school hosts an Honors Banquet for the top 10% of each class and their parents. The students name is left on display all year in the cafeteria. 124 End of Year Brings AWARDS ASSEMBLIES At the end of each school year the elementary, middle and high schools have an awards assembly. The awards assemblies give teachers and administrators an opportunity to recognize and reward students who have excelled in a particular class or subject. In elementary school the outstanding student in each class is awarded a trophy as well as the outstanding student in each subject area. Students who have not been tardy or absent all year are given a perfect attendance award. In middle school the top student in each class receives an award. They also have a hall of fame for the 8th grade students. In high school the top 3 students in each class receive a medal or certificate. Special awards are given by different civic organizations to outstanding students in each grade. Scholarships are awarded to any senior that may have won one. 127 The Unforgettable Trip It didn’t matter where they went or what they did just as long as the seniors of 1988 were together for one last adventure before graduation. The seniors and their sponsors loaded up on the Greyhound charter bus at 7:00 a m., Saturday, April 23, and headed for Ardmore to eat breakfast at the Kettle. After everyone had eaten they loaded back on the bus and took off to Arlington, Te ias. All of the seniors spent eleven hours at Six Flags. Some braved the rides while others sat back, relaxed, and watched theirfriends geTStek v At 9:00 p.m. everyone met back at the bus to leave for the Hard Rock Cafe. When the seniors arrived they were astonished by the size of the building, and the momentoes from the rock stars hang ing from wall to wall. At 11:00 p.m. the exhausted and tired seniors got back on the bus and headed back home After arriving back at 2:30 a.m. at the school they discovered that underclassmen had put shaving cream and vaseline on their vehicles. Although the class of 88 only got to go to Six Flags it will be a memorable trip they will cherish for a lifetime. 128 Compliments of Headlines Hair Design 130 Below: Lynn McMahan is concentrating on throwing the football.

WOMifc New Events Added to ELEMENTARY TRACK MEET The annual elementary track meet had a different look this year. There were many new events such as three-legged races, sack races, softball throw, long jump, hoop shoot, and a football throwing contest. Each student picked the three events that they wanted to participate in and were in competition with other students in that same grade. Students received points for placing first, second, or third in any event. At the end of the day points were tallied and the three students in each grade having the most points received a gold, silver, or bronze medal. The medals were presented to the students at the awards assembly. The new format of the track meet was a huge success to both students and fans. The students liked having a selection of events to participate in and the fans enjoyed having a variety of events to watch.

The theme was “Almost Paradise” and was represented through miniature tropical settings at each table. As each guest arrived, they were presented with a lei. The welcome was given by junior class president Earl Dethloff and the response was made by Miles Goode, senior class president. Sondra Hefner provided the invocation before the dinner was served. The senior class reminisced about their humorous past as Kalinda Elliott and Preston Loving read the “Remember Whens”. Denise Brinlee and Brian Hunziker predicted the life of each senior in the year 2008 as they presented the Class Prophecy. Following the prophecy. Holly Morgan was crowned 1988 prom queen by Miles Goode, prom king. Each was given a gift from the junior class. The senior class continued a two year old tradition by presenting a collection of gag gifts known as the Grammy Awards. These awards were presented to a group of juniors by last year’s recipient of each award. After the banquet, the junior class parents sponsored a junior-senior dance complete with a DJ and refreshments. At left: Seniors Mike Copeland and Miles Goode go through the serving line.

Emotions ran high as Salutatorian, Aylisa Beaver and Valedictorian, Miles Goode gave their speeches. A lump formed in everyone’s throat that was soon overcome by tears as Felipe Machado, our foreign exchange student, said his last goodbyes. Inspirational words were given by Carson R. Thompson, a 1957 graduate of WHS. After presentation of the class, 34 seniors were presented with their diplomas. When the commencement was over the 1988 graduates marched down the aisle for the last time. After giving their mothers a yellow rose the class anxiously stood in single file as Miles Goode moved forward to lead the traditional throwing of caps. The tradition will go on and always be known as GRADUATION. Although graduation will separate everyone, the memories will flow through their minds whenever they think of each other. It is sad to see them go, but we will all have fond memories of each of them in our hearts. Farewell Seniors, but never say good-bye. 135 Above: Juniors raise money for the prom by running the concession stand during football season.

A dirty word to most teachers, students, and parents. But without it school life as we now know it would cease to exist. Just about every club and organization is faced with the need for money. Without money the clubs and organizations cannot function. Fundraising is not limited to only high school students. It begins with a student’s first year in school — kindergarten. Elementary and middle school students participate in fundraisers such as the Halloween King Queen contest, candy sales, and magazine sales. After they have these down pat, they graduate to big time fundraising — high school. The high school years are like a crash course in fundraising. The cheerleaders have to raise money for camp, the juniors have to raise the money to put on a banquet and prom, the an- Inual staff has to raise the money to pay for the yearbook, the seniors have to raise the money to pay for graduation and their trip, the FHA FFA have to raise money to go to convention and have their banquets, and the list goes on and on and on. ---- All in all, a tremendous amount of money has to be made on fundraisers. During the 1987-88 school year there was $500 worth of balloons, $6,852 worth of Tom Watt, $4,712 worth of candy, $2,500 worth of pizzas, $4,844 worth of sausage, and $6,020 worth of pictures sold. This adds up to $25,428, more than a lot of people make in a year. And this is from just a few of the fundraisers. Money is not the only thing involved. There is also a tremendous amount of time involved. Sometimes it seems we have to spend more time organizing and keeping records for fundraisers than we do teaching,” said annual sponsor Christy Sudderth. Junior Earl Dethloff said, “My friends and neighbors are getting tired of me coming to their house selling things.” Is there an alternative to having to have so many fundraisers? About the only solution would be for some millionaire to donate a huge amount of money to the school to be divided up between all the clubs and organizations. Either that or do away with some of the activities that create the need for so much fundraising. Neither of these solutions are likely to occur, so for now the F word. Fundraising, is a necessary evil. 137 IN MEMORY OF MICHELE SKELTON December 18, 1970 to March 22, 1988 138 MICHELE'S BOUQUET She came to us in the winter and left in the spring But her memory in our hearts forever will ring To Mom she was a rose with beauty so fair A certain kind of beauty only moms and daughters can share To Dad she was a daisy with petals of love She brought light to his heart like the sunshine from above To David she was a lilly that bloomed by the way She reached out her hand to strengthen him day by day To Nita she was a honeysuckle with fragrance so fine They clung to each other like flowers on the vine To Mike she was a sunflower standing tall in the sun They shared their love for each other and had lots of fun To Otis and her friends she was a violet so lovely and sweet And her memory will last forever making Michele’s bouquet complete Rev. Jim D. Gillum WE’VE COME 142 A LONG WAY! On August 15, 1987, the 1987-88 school year got underway. Everyone was glad to see each other. The high school was excited to have Felipe Machado , a foreign exchange student. They were also very eager to get football and other activities underway. The middle school students were excited to be back and to have Jennifer Salsbury with them again. The seventh graders finally got use to changing classes while the eighth graders dreamed of the next year, when they would at last be in the high school. The elementary students were also glad to be back and start learning new ways to drive the teachers crazy. Before everyone knew it, football season was over and it was time for basketball to start. Then, just before Christmas, tragedy struck. Randy Tucker , a 6th grader, was fatally shot. This saddened the whole school. After Christmas break everyone returned to school ready to finish basketball and start baseball and track. Then, once again, tragedy struck. Michele Skeleton , a junior, was killed in an automobile accident. Soon after baseball was over the students in elementary and middle school started getting ready for achievement tests while the high school was getting ready for conventions and state band contest. The month of May brought frantic preparations for the Jr.-Sr. banquet along with all the other end of school activies. May also brought an important event for freshman Shanda Way and her mother Joann Way . elementary school secretary. Shanda went into the hospital in Galveston, Texas to receive a kidney donated by her mother. When Mrs. Beaver announced on the intercom that the transplant was a success and that both Shanda and Joann were fine a cheer went up through the whole school. Finally Wilson schools had received some good news. Then it was time for graduation. It was hard to believe that the school year was over and that we would be saying goodbye to the senior class of 1988. The 1987-88 school year has been a year of sadness in many ways, but it has also has been a year with many bright and happy moments. The 1987-88 annual staff hopes that this yearbook will help you preserve all these memories of events and friends forever. 143 Winner’s Creed If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don’t If you’d like to win, but think you can’t. It’s almost a cinch you won’t. If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost; For out in the world we find Success begins with a person’s will, It’s all in the state of mind. Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster hand; But sooner or later The person who wins Is the one who thinks “1 can.” Congratulations Seniors Beaver’s 2ar Wash Hwy. 70 West Wilson, OK 73463 c H U R C H E S “A growing Church for A Coming Lord” Wilson Assembly Of God 501 E.
