In January seniors were asked if they wanted changes in gr~d~ation which would move many of the usual awards to Honors Night. The vote at that time was overwhelmingly no.

Al though the seniors registered their desire for keeping with tradition, they seem to be tolerant of dissenting opinions within the class.

Five senior girls will be marching in blue gowns with the boys Sonj~ Chu, Emily Schwarz, Atty Grant, Jen Love and Allison Moore have opted to dress in blue.

A few ye~rs ago, · two female graduates expressed opposition to distinguishing seniors by sex by wearing the opposite color. The dissent has become another tradition.

The administration has received no complaint~ about the dissenting senior girls' decision to wear blue.

THERE'SAN OF CHOICES OUT THERE.

It's not easy. Sometimes the number of choices you have seems mind--boggling. But sometimes, when you know what you want, freedom of choice is a great thing. Look ~t today's Army.

There's the Active Army and the Army Reserve. If you qualify for Active, you serve 2--4 years, choose from over 300 skills to train in, and in over 80 of those skills you could be eligible for up to $25,200 in college money. ·

If you already have a job or are in s~hool, consider the Army Reserve. All it takes is one weekend a month and two weeks a year. Plus, you'll learn a useful skill and earn over $1,200 a year.

Both choices give you career experience, physical conditioning, new friends, good pay, and a chance to serve your country. It's all up to you. Call your local Army Recruiter. .Call 749-0441 in Dover - or 335 ·- 1653 in Rochester

The annual parking controversy is once again growing to new heights. Due to a fairly recent installment of parking sticker requirements in order to park on school grounds, and the increasing numbers of sophomores acquiring their licenses, there seems to be a need to reeducate people on how to parallel park along Coe Drive.

For some, its obvious that they are fresh out of drivers ed and/or have a fear of parking closer than six feet to the car in front of them, effectively cutting out anything else from parking there short of possibly a moped. Two feet between bumpers is plenty of room to get out, thus giving a total of four

.. tend to believe that they can fit a seven foot car into a five 11 ~J · .ftoot six inch space, and then go so far as to prove it by carelessly bumping, pushing, scratching, and inflicting a occasional dent here or there as they do their 'best' to get the car off of the main drag. Then there are some who completely forget about the rear of the car and feel content with just getting the front wheels in the space. Then they come out later and wonder how the car mysteriously moved six spaces forward and on top of that, why the back bumper is now directly behind the front door.

Last but not least, there are some who have found that they can fit their car in by parking perpendicular to the rest of the traffic. They soon learn that this wasn't the best choice after they get the car high centered on the curb, with the front wheels barely touching the ground. Therefore they shift to reverse and proceed to remove about 5,000 miles worth of rubber off of the rear tires until they eventually get out or risk driving foward over the curb, wit~ the possibly of removing the 'exhaust system, bending the drive shaft, or general massaging of the lower body panels.

Most of this could be avoided easily by just parking with some care, by not leaving excessive space between cars, stuffing cars in places much too small for them, or leaving rear ends of cars out as targets for others to hit, which is very tempting for some especially when they are steamed after a confrontation with a certain student disciplinarian, or over the lack of availiable parking space. We all might be surprised as to how many vehicles do fit along Coe Dr. as well as cutting down on the numbers of irate students we all too often run into. ·

Drama program a croa,ded fie/ti,· /ear-res little time or space for indir-ridua/ allenliDl1

Oyster River has a reputation for its excellent drama program. This is widely accepted but not entirely true. A more apt description would be that it has a potential for excellence, but also ha,s some serious set backs. Drama has recently become an offshoot of the music department, creating a diverse program with little room for the excelling individual.

The drama program is certainly big. Approximately 40% of the student body participates in drama in some way, with most being involved in the yearly musical. The problem is that in such a large organization, it be~omes impossible to individualize. Students, instead of getting personal attention and instruction, are thrown into a mob the 60 person cast of Oklahoma, for example. The fault lies on no person, but on the system. With the way things are now, there is a student teacher ratio of approximately 200:1 concerning drama and related activ~ties. With statistics like this, it becomes impossible to avoid the "playing favorites" syndrome. It is simply that one person can't possibly know two hundred on a personal basis, and as a re,sult some are forgotten and \ demoralized ;

Efforts have been made to solve the problem. The reactivation of the Drama and Acting class helps to educate the amateur, who might otherwise be lost in the crowd. Other such classes would also be helpful. Courses in Theater Tech, Scriptwriting, or Stage Management would help, and having a small group of experienced ''specialists" would benefit the drama progra·m considerably; it would make it more plausible to give important tasks to students, taking the weight off of one man's shoulders. Of course, with the recent budget cuts, hiring new faculty is a highly uncredited idea, • but "juggling" the existing faculty by having willing teachers help ~hape upcoming course selections. With some effort and a little luck and cooperation, the drama program could not only surpass its present reputation, but be able to accept that reputation with pride, knowing that it was deserved.

WHBT IS LIFE -LIKE FOR BLBCKS

BT OYSTER RIVER ?

by Shawn Middleton

What is it like to be black at Oyster River? 1 There are 3 black students out of 492 students that make up ORHS. Just being black in a 99% white world could b e difficult

A former black student Ann Wa r d said, "I felt welcome as a black studen t, · but there were a handful of individual s that made comments. " Ann construed th e se as racist in orig i n," but anywhere you g o you can find s uch a phenomenon."

Jeremy Ward said he doesn't fe el any different b~c a use he has lived in Durham all of his lif e. His friends accept him and he accepts them because have gr own up together. Th i s has helped both Je re my and his friends t o be c ome better people , Once this year, whe n Jeremy was not ar ound, someone said to a friend of his, "w hy is she , going 011 t 1.-i th that nigger?" Both Jeremy and gi rl friend were very up s e t and confronted th e person about it. ,

The real im portant thing is that Jeremy ..

and his friends will · never be prejudiced, because they know the real value of friendship.

Rose ~ Boone, another black student in ORHS said, "I feel out numbered, but I'm a person just like ever y one else. A couple of times during Rose's freshman year, she was called an African. Ros e just block e d it out and said, "I won't low~r myself to your level."

Damon Re y n a a freshm a n commented it doesn't see~ very diff e rent. The kids treat him with respect. In eighth grade a kid called him a nigger. Damo n got into a fight with the kid b e cuse he wanted to defend his honor!

Ed Bell , said he has ada p ted well at ORHS and h e has ne v er h a d any problems with racia l discriminati o n .

Linda Savage commented, "Wh y c a n' t p e ople just sit down and talk. Why do people have to judge the outside when it's , the inside that counts."

The four students concluded that racism is not a major issue in their daily li v es at Oyster River
