Favorite Memories From Those Thrilling Days Of Yesteryear

  • Box supper auctions. - Brian B.
  • Full contact hide and seek. I remember Chartier effectively body slamming P.J. as she dove for the safety of the console TV. We were no respecters of gender. - Matt
  • Midnight hiking at Sparrowhawk!! No flashlights! It is probably a good thing that we didn't see how close we actually came to falling off the bluff!! - DeAnna
  • I agree with Matt. Loved the hide and seek. I also loved the campus wide capture the flag time. Great times. - Neal
  • I still wonder how I got my fat behind into some of the hiding places I did. LOL - Neal
  • I liked the date auctions. Jana Cole took me to the Boars Head feast one year. - James R.
  • Pretending to throw up a can of "Cream of Mushroom" soup by gagging loudly in the cafeteria with Jeff Chartier, Bret Andrews, Matt Manos, and, I think, Robin. Brett Andrews smashing his head on the outside wall with half a watermelon on his head, and burning books in the fireplace at the end of the semester with the books the bookstore wouldn't buy back . . . Those were some fun times! - Jana
  • Oh yeah! Bubbles in the school fountain and spades tournaments! And well, parties at mine and Pam's house! - Jana
  • I never feel like there is enough time to see things when I come back to visit Tahlequah. I am climbing Sparrowhawk Mountain when I turn 40, taking daughter with me, too. - James R.
  • Hmm, oh so many, playing spades, hiding people in the old sofa at the BSU during those hide and seek games. People trying to throw me in the fountain . . . 'til I picked up that hammer! Doing all those fifth quarters at different churches. Brian asking me to marry him . . . over and over and over again. I loved it when we also did that track meet for the little kids, also. Just hanging out with all you guys, I wouldn't trade it! - Janelle
  • We tried swimming at Tenkiller after one of those track meets. The BSU bought our breakfast at Bubba's before working the track meets. Janelle saved my life with aloe vera after working a BSU car wash. - James R.
  • James, I don't even remember giving you the aloe vera but I'm glad it helped. - Janelle
  • There were a lot of things I didn't remember until I saw of those old pictures. - James R.

  • Campus wide capture the flag! - Brian B.
  • First Baptist Coweta bringing lunch. - Craig
  • Mark and I during finals week around midnight one night trying to climb up on the Statue of Liberty at the Cherokee building downtown, and doing cartwheels across the street. - Erik
  • Chicago Mission Trip. Spring Break 1992 .. I think. - Terry
  • One of my favorite memories is putting bubble bath in the fountain, then fooling Neal into thinking we were in trouble with Dean Cambiano. Riggins was sweatin' it in his outer office for a bit, there. Also, the mission trip to Raynosa, Mexico. Prison ministry, baby! - Mark N.
  • Capture the flag and mission trip to Houston. - Neal
  • Hiking out at Goat's Bluff at night. - Terry
  • Hide and go seek in the BSU. P.J. diving from the stairs to the couch which was base. Charty and I going nil and blind nil to come back from behind in Spades and beating Neal Riggins and Mark Nickels or Tuney. Can't remember which one of those guys. Doing Fifth Quarters on Friday nights, Monday night worship that we started in '89 and of course Pos-C! - Mark W.
