For many of us it was — getting up late and missing the early bus, passing notes in Mr. Harry Country- mans history class, shoving girls into the boys’ bathroom, cramming for a first period CWP test, and chewing gum without getting caught. It was a big deal when we —got rid of our Star Wars lunch boxes, paid for our own Nikes, Izods, and Jor- dache; and ate dinner with the family. We got into — playing space invaders, P-I-G, and UNO; L.

Dressed in their $15.00 Broadway outfits, ev- eryone, including the guys, did waist kicks as they stepped around the heart of the Big Apple. For the second straight year the ensemble pre- sented an encore performance at the sports awards assembly the following day. Before and after the music presentation, the gym doors opened for spectators to view the art show. Divided into the top categories of “fine arts” and useful arts,” students from both junior and senior high art, home economics, and industrial arts classes participated. The top art honors went to Robin Swanson for her 3-D ceramic mugs; Lisa Richards, Best of Show; Mark Porter, 2-D draw- ing of football players, and Steve Malong, junior high Best of Show. Over 50 awards were presented for the out- standing displays.

SPRING FESTIVAL Fcelm From dawn to dusk, they primped and • checked each detail. It was the day of IjOOCI I the prom, and they felt like royalty. Everyone wanted to look his best. Most of the female prom-goers jumped into their bathing suits by 10:00 a.m. to catch a fast tan in the backyard. WKGO blasted over the radio while the guys busied themselves washing the car, picking up the flowers, or borrowing Uncle Tom's shoes. My hair looks a mess.” “I can’t find my pearl earrings. “Do you know who borrowed them?” chattered the girls with their best friends over the telephone. They rushed out to Drug Fair to pick up eye shadow or to buy some fingernail polish. Too soon, the sun set and beaming mothers helped their daughters into gowns, tying bows and hooking bustles. Proud fathers straight- ened their sons' ruffles, cuffs, and cumberbuns. Following the picture-taking ritual for both sets of parents, most couples feasted at the Lane Center buffet. Others ate at Warn- ers, Gehaufs, or Al’s. When the Chinese Bandits sounded out the beat, couples hit the dance floor. As the theme Through the Years played, steps slowed down to a shuffle. By after-prom time, everyone had kicked off his high heels or dinner jacket and had slipped into a pair of Lees and a T-shirt. The sounds of Full Steam Eddie shook the walls of the Maplehurst ballroom. Revellers gam- bled in the Jaycee's casino or soaked up the moonlight on the balcony. When it was over, each person had his own special memories. The night touched every- one with a little magic. AFTER FINISHING a full-course meal.

Crammed with plans for dates, football games, or just cruisn’ through town, the student body squirmed and wiggled through Mr. James Thompson’s closing, Friday announcements. When the dismissal bell rang, classroom doors flew open as kids streaked to their lockers and out to cars and buses to rush home and catch the end of General Hospital. For the cheerleaders, football and basketball teams, majorettes, band, drill team, color guards, and pep club, Friday night usually began by performing at a sport activity. And then following the Friday night athletic action, McDonalds swelled as fans swarmed in and were encouraged to munch out on french fries and caramel sundaes. After a tough football game, quarterback David Sweene usually grabbed a quarterpounder with cheese and fries and then went straight home to soak in a hot bath Friday — a big day for the over- whelming majority who let loose to focus in on the weekend. for about 30 minutes. B.J. Pugh and his girl, Ginny Dormer, devoured a champ pizza at Fox’s. Some students saved their lunch money all week so that they could pitch in and buy gas at Sheetz to cruise up and down town. For Alice Weser, Fridays were spent at boyfriend Billy Lashbaugh’s house, watching Showtime and eat- ing pizza. For others, Fridays were simply spent “shoot- ing the breeze” and then racing home to make the 11:30 curfew. And when the snow came, it was off to the college to do doughnuts in the parking lot or to the Wisp to ski down Boulder Run. Whether it was cheering for a football game in spitting snow and subzero temperatures or just window shopping at the Country Club Mall, Fri- days were made to get together with friends and do “whatever floats your boat.” BOOGING DOWN to the beat of Whip I. Dawn Barmoy, Krista Vought, and Shannon Ralston dance into step. Junior High dances were well attended and always brought a profit. TIRED AND WORN-OUT.

A PARENTS NIGHT CROWD watches the football team roll over Valley 24-6. For scoring four touchdowns and recovering two fumbles. Shawn Barmoy gained Times News Player of the Week honors. Feelin’ Good! During lunch periods, weekends, holi- days, or about any time, students took advantage of the extra minutes they sometimes found. Dolls, babes, models, stamps, and coins filled bedroom shelves, musty attics, and damp cellars. Everybody broke from the pressures of a hectic school day, mountains of homework, or household duties to occasionally watch the Star Trek re-runs or jog four miles before supper. But many students' hobbies served them as an escape. Brian Duncan and John Leptic accumu- lated extensive baseball and football card collec- tions. Basement shelves at the Miller residence held Devin’s collection of beer cans. The one he prized the most was a 1929 Olde Frothingslosh. Nancy Wilson decorated her bedroom walls with John McEnroe, while Bob Stevenson divided his allegiance between Farah Fawcett and Cheryl L. Bee man TO HELP his church youth group. Louis Hall spends Wednesday night rocking at the Methodist Church. Stacks of Fox's pizza and blasts of rock music bred a fun time until about 4:00 a.m. when 38 weary bodies slowed their pace.

Hardee’s employee Maria Winner collected a set of Smurf glasses that she purchased at the fast- food restaurant. She boxed them away for my hope chest.” Diving, bowling, and hunting were some of the 1 other interests of students. David Weimer rode his Susuki to get away from it all, and Debra Rich- ards listened to the blare of her portable tape play- er whenever she could. The students took pride in what they did lying around listening to Van Halen or taking trumpet lessons at the college. It was their time, and they got all they could out of it.

Tla Mclwee and Jill Poland take advantage of their last “out days. The two seventh grade friends dressed alike from their mini skirts to their Nikes. Feel in’ Summer had gone fast, and there it was in black and white — W School Year to Begin August 30 Into the land of late stay-ups and late sleep-ins marched the Board of Education’s calendar. We quickly adjusted, for another year of school meant another year older. We got used to new classes, new teachers, and new locker combina- tions. At home we put away cut-offs and tank tops to make room for ruffled blouses and prairie skirts. The sale at Fashion Warehouse put most students into Calvin Kleins for $24.99. Mom and Dad said “no” to late nights at the Lions Field and then pizza at Mama Rosa’s. It was back to doing dishes and finishing homework. Materials, needed for school, emptied pockets, and the financial burden of the year began. Lab and activity fees each cost $1.00, yearbook staff wanted a $5.00 deposit, and $2.00 promised a Chime subscription. Jocks were dressed and on the field by 3:20 and gave it all they had until the coach said “hit the showers.” Long after the players left, the flag squad was still practicing routines, sometimes as late as 7:30 p.m. Fall sports elected royalty Janna Lloyd and Wendy Monahan as soccer and football queens. Juniors chose Deborah Skidmore as Frostburg Fire Queen. As a joke Skidmore’s friends told her L B«em n she was required to ride on the fire truck, along with the fire dog. For two days Deborah worried about the dog until her friends told the truth. Through the excitement of cheering for two top area teams, the disappointment of returning to an unpainted school, the agonies of making good grades, and the waiting for drivers ed, we realized that all too quickly the year was underway. TO ELECT their officers, seventh graders gather in the girls’ gymnasium to listen to Student Council's President John Martir- ano explain the nominating and voting procedures.

On the return trip home everyone had a good time listening to Jason Brode's tape player and stuffing their faces with Doritos and Twinkles. — L B««man we Got The Beat Unbelievable. Save the word from the St. Louis Cardinals, the Inner Harbor, E.T., and the Beall High Band. Suddenly, selling refresh- ments in the concession stand at halftime wasn’t the only concern of the Band Boosters, for parents paid $5.00 associ- ation dues and organized a pizza sale. The objective — to send the band to the Apple Blossom Parade in Winches- ter, Virginia, on Saturday, May 1. Two months before the pa- rade, Band Director Frank Munson gave out a new song, Grandioso, which members had to memorize. Some marchers had never had to memorize music before. It was a new experience for ev- eryone. In order to update the beat, Mr. Munson hired Craig Har- vey, a Frostburg College music major and a percussionist, to help the drummers put to- gether a new cadence. With Harvey’s ideas and some of their own, the percussion sec- tion had a new style and a jazzed-up cadence. Days before the Apple Blossom Parade, the band marched down Washington Street, McCullough Street, and back around the oval in front of Beall during seventh period. This was one time the band was enthusiastic about practice. Early Saturday morning, on their first big day, band members packed their coolers, brought their tapes and ghetto blasters, grabbed their clean uniforms from the closet, and piled onto the three buses. When the bus arrived in Winchester, all sorts of prob- lems arose. Larry Beal lost one of the buttons to his over- lay. Tausha Whitman’s boat shoes had to be polished black because she forgot her band shoes. And the worst problem was when Jay Jenkins realized that he had forgotten his trumpet. Since no one carried an extra instrument, Jay was stuck without one. He marched in the middle of the rank and hoped the judges wouldn’t see him. Amy Friend’s reed cracked, so she couldn’t play her clari- net, and “what notes did come out squeaked.” After the parade was over and the kids were in their shorts and tee-shirts, the bus- es headed to the Tastee-Freeze in Hancock. Chuck McCor- mick showed off at the arcade with a high score of 19,000 on the Astro Blasters machine. On their way home, the kids on the Band Bus §2 jammed to Louis Hall’s Rick James tapes while the eighth and ninth graders rocked to Jason Brode’s cassettes. At 9:30 p.m. three bus loads of exhausted band members, silk squad, and majorettes pulled into the oval. The buses were unloaded, instruments put away, the band room locked up. Everyone was ready to go home and hit the sack. It had been a tiring day. BAND I rom store windows to ® magazine advertise- ments, the message was clear — to be slim was beautiful. Body-conscious Americans across the country were tak- ing off those bulging pounds and unwanted inches by run- ning, dancing, fasting, and us- ing diet pills. Over the summer, junior Michele Cotton set up a calo- rie calendar. For Cotton that meant counting everything from a small bag of potato chips to a Champ Pizza. At the end of the summer, she had lost seven pounds. Seventh grader Jill Poland went on a 24-hour diet about four times a month, and Mary Ryan skipped lunch and limit- ed herself to two pieces of CALORIE COUNTER Bread. 1 slice — 60 calories Peas, Vi cup — 55 calories Big Mac — 375 calories Life Savers — 10 calories Jello Pudding Pops — 30 calories Hersheys Kiss —100 calories Tab Cola —1 calorie breakfast, had salads for lunch, and cut out all potatoes and bread. The Cambridge Diet of a powder mixed with water helped Mr. William Payne lose 32 pounds and Mr. James Thompson lose 31. On only 300 calories a day, both teach- ers reduced their clothes sizes bread a day. Dieting for Diane Morgan meant excluding sodas, bread, chips, and salt. Art teacher Mrs. Susan Baker never ate too. Girls weren't the only ones caught watching weight. Dur- ing wrestling season, senior Kevin Buckalew weighed in at eight pounds overweight the night before a match. After a night and a day of running, sweating, and starving, Buck- alew weighed in at 148, a pound under, only to find that his opponent had to forfeit be cause he didn't make thi weight. Kerry Plummer got inti shape for basketball season b] jogging during the fall. Cross Country runne Marne Davis worked out witl the team, as well as with hfl brother Tad. After all the crash diets jogging, and starvation th weight watchers found them selves “making the weight and feeling better and proud AEROBIC DANCING was a form of e ercise that Sharon Winner and Jo Workman both enjoyed.

Members of the junior class chose the queen from nine nominees. — L Betrman Dutch treat was no longer past tense. With the rise of E.R.A. and the de- cline of the economy, the 1982 ladies were often left footing the bills. It was not unnatural to see the girl paying the $6.00 to see a movie or to treat her date to pizza and cokes; most couples went half and half. Shawn Barmoy and Deborah Skid- more compromised; he paid for the movie, and she paid at McDonalds afterwards. Girls were more aggressive than ever before; they weren't afraid to make the first move with a phone call. Some girls stuck by their principles. Lisa Mackay only called a boy one time and then it was an emergency. Couples couldn't afford the high rate of going out every weekend, so Robin Jenkins had Greg Leake to her house to watch television on Satur- day night. Everyone was aware of the money squeeze. Girls were ei- ther sympathetic or aggres- sive toward their men, and some guys enjoyed putting the shoe on the other foot. DATING CLASS OFFICERS — Front Row: Jeff Colveakorisses. Valerie Crowe.

Martirano and Eichhorn were always excused first period on the days of assemblies. STUDENTCOUNCIL — L B« man CONFIDENT OF HIS CHOICE. Gary Hal! leaves the voting booth. All under- classmen voted in the Student Coun- cil's elections during history classes. promises promises Flourescent orange and yellow campaign posters clung to the walls, and red, blue, and green Vote for buttons covered the bodies of the students. The annual elec- tions created politicians out of the nominees running for class and Student Council offices. Some candidates used tricky phrases to catch the at- tention of possible voters, while others counted on their friends to carry them into of- fice. Peggy Arnold, candidate for Council Secretary, lost her campaign posters and was forced to advertise by word of mouth. Candidates for Student Council President and Vice President, John Martirano and Tim Eichhorn, stood on the platform to organize a freshman prom and to in- crease the number of junior high dances. Their opponents, Kerry Plummer and Wendy Mona- han, wanted to involve the ju- nior high more and wanted to bring in outside speakers. Some students looked at the issues and considered them before deciding for whom to vote. Others used the assem- bly as a time to make plans for Friday night or to catch up on sleep. The next day the voting ma- chines were set up in both the senior and junior high lobbies. Seventh graders became ec- static at the idea of operating one of the booths. The seniors just wanted to get out of class. During history class stu- dents exercised their right to vote. JefT Raley and Jim Phil- lips allowed everyone to pass them so they wouldn't have to hurry back to Mr. Harry Countryman’s class. Embarrassment struck Bri- an Slanger and Ginny Dormer because they forgot how to shut the curtains and tried to pull them shut. In the senior high the elec- tions didn’t raise much enthu- siasm. Some voters didn't even know who was running. Oth- ers had no desire to vote at all. But over in the new wing, enthusiasm was high, and ev- erybody was anxious, espe- cially the seventh graders who voted for the first time. During lunch, music blared and the Judicial Board worked the polls, munching on donuts and Pepsi. At 3:05 candidates rushed home to listen to WFRB for the results. Some cried, and some cheered, and the stu- dents knew what it was like to be in an election. — L Btfvman STUDENT COUNCIL — Front Row: Sherri Arnold. Michele Cotton. Linda Wilson.

STUDENTCOUNCIL Dressed to Kill Green leaves took on the bright colors of au- tumn and fell to the ground. A crisp frost in mid-October changed the potted geraniums to a dull brown. But just as quickly as win- ter coats and gloves appeared, they were shoved back into the closet, for the first week of November brought unusually high temperatures in the eighties. Amid the changing colors and fluctuating temperatures, youthful revellers celebrated the fall holiday of Halloween. Skeletons, ghosts, and scare- crows decorated windows and doors of houses. Costumes, tricks, and parties were fre- quently discussed at lunch- time and in study halls. By mid-week, pumpkin-like grins showed on students’ faces as they thought about the South Cumberland and Frostburg parades — two school nights for the band and drill team to be out. As students arrived at school on Friday, they found strange-looking creatures. In the senior high, Kristen Kutler buzzed the halls in her bumble bee suit, while Danette Miller spread a little joy dressed as a Christmas tree. The junior high, a little less enthusiastic, had few who donned costumes. Becky Smith as an E.T. and Tammy Filsinger, a clown, enjoyed the day of being different. School wasn’t the only place students got into Hal- loween. Cindy Kim, Linda Wilson, and Nancy Wilson took a shot at winning the Pumpkin Carve at the Coun- try Club Mall. Randi Swanson and several of her female friends jumped in the station wagon, terroriz- ing the townspeople with soap taken from under the bath- room sink. Caught red-hand- ed Swanson pleaded with her sister not to tell on her. Getting together and dress- ing up, Michele Cotton, Rhonda McKenzie, Kim Jones, and Missy Robinson went out Saturday night to haunt the town. They hid be- hind their false faces as they circled the main blocks. Some teens were willing to get scared breathless as they went to check out the Jaycees haunted house at the Armory.

The annual Frost burg Day was celebrated with free hot- dogs. cokes, and entrance to the com- munity pool. — L B««mu They came in all sizes short, tall, chubby, skinny, and even extra small, and they ig- nored questions about the weather. But being part of a school made even the tiniest feel “tough.” Sure John Kealy heard short jokes constantly, but he always had a good comeback. The eighth graders, al- though second youngest, now had at least one class to rule over, and they let the seventh grade know by strutting their stuff down the second floor hall. Being known as the “little seventh graders” didn’t stop their enthusiasm. About 65 junior high members made up the entire Pep Club and even a handful of guys joined the club to support the Mountie team. With Mrs. Pat Fil- singer's help, the group helped the cheerleaders to raise the overall enthusiasm. Nine out of the 18 partici- pants in the Talent Show were students in the junior high. Their talents ranged from a duo baton twirling act by the Davies sisters, Tara and Stephanie, to a Karate perfor- mance by Chris Kocher. The Davies sisters captured third place. Many students in the junior high involved themselves in the junior high band. Over 60 members practiced every day at different times during var- ious periods to perfect their music for the Christmas and Spring Festival programs. Ten eighth graders were se- lected to perform in the Senior High marching and concert bands. Dances, decreasing in inter- est for the senior high were al- ways packed and made a huge profit for the Junior High. They didn’t get a band or even a professional D.J. because they preferred the works of amateurs Kevin Kutler and John Crawley. “They play the popular songs we like,” replied Jeff Colvocoresses, one of the shortest kids in the school, didn’t let his size come in con- flict with his interest in girls. “I just grab her hand and pull her out on the dance floor, even if I do onjy come up to her waist.” Although the unknown ju- nior highs were not recog- nized much by the senior high kids, they didn’t let it get them down. Whenever they had the chance, they showed their tal- ents, eagerness, and all- around school support.

AWAITING THE SIGNAL to begin tap- ing for WCBC radio station, nervous ensemble members watch as the equip- ment is set up. The performance was aired at 7:00 Thursday evening. No Snow No Go Dreams of a white Christ- mas, snow days, snowball bat- tles, skiing trips, and snowmo- bile riding usually began in mid-November but the tem- peratures rose into the 60s and 70’s. The unusually mild winter meant no snow for Christmas, not even a frost. Celebrating Christmas without snow was uncommon in Frostburg. 1 just couldn’t get into the holiday spirit when there wasn’t any snow,” said fresh- man Michelle Lucas. In town, the lights were strung over the city tree and the Santa decorations fas- tened to the light posts. The stage crew under the supervision of Mr. Bill Deter- man did their part by adding to the Christmas season by putting up the “Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men” sign on the front of school. Teachers followed suit by putting up Christmas trees and other decorations in their classrooms. Mrs. Ruth Re- phan decorated her tree with candy canes for the kids in her homeroom, while Mr. Arthur Spataro plastered a life size poster of Santa on his door. Collecting canned foods from the student body, Hi-Y got the Christmas spirit mov- ing and the Tri-Hi-Y donated fifty dollars to the Toys for Happiness drive and basket- balls to the Salem Home for Children in Grantsville. Allegany County Schools received their Christmas pre- sent two days early. Dismissal came at 12:00 noon, compli- ments of Dr. William Mitchell and the Board of Education. Students enjoyed a day of an assembly, lunch, and little class work. For the annual Christmas assembly, Darren Diaz, as the MC, got the show started, fol- lowed by the Junior High Girls’ Ensemble singing Christmas hymns. At the Se- nior High Christmas party, Liz Sandford debuted as a so- loist singing Keep Christmas in Your Heart. A visit to the North Pole with Devin Miller as Santa, and Diane Morgan as Mrs. Claus, caught Santa in the process of getting ready for Christmas Eve. He was assisted by four elves. Tinsel Eyes (Tim Eich- horn). Jelly Drops (Jim Drew), Candy Plums (Kerry Plum- mer), and Terribly Rotten (Todd Ringler) dressed in green panty. hose, green crepe paper vests, shoes, and hats topped with little white balls. They made the toys in the workshop come to life. Tin sol- diers marched, baton twirlers twirled, clown tumblers flipped, and life size drum- mers danced around the stage, the Beall High version of The Nutcracker. But the highlight of the as- sembly came at the end when Student Council President and Vice President, John Martirano and Tim Eichhorn, dismissed the student body as the Blues Brothers adding their own dance to the routine. Together Jake and Elwood boogied down and dragged unsuspecting Ellen Arnone into the spotlight. Although it was a green Christmas, students and fac- ulty alike looked forward to the two-week Christmas vaca- tion. CHRISTMAS Roiling The Dough As fall slid into winter, part- time job workers pitched the after-school meetings, church league basketball practices, weekend dates, and favorite prime time television shows of Square Pegs and Fame to lug- ging garbage bags to a dump- ster or standing with a frozen smile at a cash register repeat- ing, “May I help you please.

Punching in at his father’s store every Sunday morning at 4:30 a.m., Larry Beal stocked shelves, turned on the generators, and put out a new supply of ice cream favorites at High's supperette.

The younger Jenkins has been on the pay roll since the seventh grade. When quitting time came, workers were glad to head to the manager’s office to sign out. Most of the students had never ventured beyond the world of proms, physics, par- ties, and cars. But those who saw the world of work were ready and knew what it was like to make “little” money.

HOMECOMING A spin-off of the E.T. phenomena frenzied all who went to meet on the parade grounds or on the football field Extra Terrific Some wore short ones. Some wore long ones. Some didn’t wear any. It was Monday, November seventh, Pajama Day, The be- ginning of Spirit Week. Spirit Week, organized and promoted by the cheerleaders, boosted the Homecoming ex- citement and introduced a new dress code that over half of the student body followed. On Pajama Day, eighth grader Karen Williams dressed in baby doll pajamas and carried a life-size teddy bear all day. She bumped, bruised, and battered all she passed in the halls. Ribbons, ribbons, and more ribbons covered the jeans, shirts, sweaters of partici- pants on day two of Spirit Week. The multi-colored strands could be found every- where even in the hair of B.J. Pugh. Wednesday was for the beachers. Despite the frigid temperatures, students came to school in OP shorts, sun vi- sors, beach robes, and flip- flops. Sophomore Lori Brown, weighed down with scuba fins smacked and tripped her way through seven classes and one lunch period. At 6:15 Wednesday night, 68 band members, 40 Belles, and 10 cheerleaders piled in six buses to show their stuff. The County Homecoming Pa- rade in the heart of Cumber- land was hosted by Flintstone and Oldtown. In order to reach her place on the float, Homecoming Queen Wendy Monahan climbed up 6 ft. in her heels and long dress to her assigned seat. “I had the hardest time reaching the top, and after I got there I found myself slid- ing back down,” said Queen Wendy. A total new wave hit Beall on Thursday when the punk rockers invaded. By 6:45 a.m. Thursday, four senior girls, Diane Davidson. Cheryl Kenney, Kristi Adams, and Maria Carrington were already at a Touch of Class, having Londa Brodie trans- form them into punkers. Wrapped in a paper suit and tiger vest, Brian Slanger looked like a true punk rocker, and wouldn’t tell anyone who did his hair. Picking up the name of “Hefty,” seniors Cindy Kim and Linda Wilson draped themselves in garbage bags and purple leotards, while sophomore Shelly Chabot went all out with the safety pins fastened in her ears. Thursday night, vandals twisted toilet paper around the two pine trees in front of the school and posted a Spar- tan sign on the fence. Friday morning, senior John Hawkins took on the re- sponsibility of burning the sign. Since Friday was Blue and Gold Day, the school spirit (continued on pg. 37) WITH ONLY ONE EIGHT COUNT TO GO.

Win” and “Stop Spartans” buttons plastered the T-shirts of most of the student body. Sophomore Kathy Kerr painted her cheeks gold and wore a blue and gold pon-pom as a wig. Kerr was selected by the cheerleaders as Most Spir- ited Mountie for her display of spirit during the entire week. The annual hall decorating contest was judged on Friday morning. Pictures were stuck everywhere. An E.T. Mountie towered above the doubled doors be- side Mrs. Rephan’s room. On the junior hallway the cut-outs of the Belles, cheer- leaders, soccer and football players, cross country run- ners, band members, major- ettes, and Silk Squad lined the length of the hall. But it was the eighth grade that captured the first prize in the competition. Long hours were spent on their E.T. bicy- cle and their Mountie locomo- tive. With a little help from sev- eral teachers the senior class managed to win the box of cheer during the pep rally for their showing in paper plate hats with E.T. antennas. Senior band member Larry Beal composed a tune on the French horn to which the sen- iors answered, “It’s great to be a Mountie today!” At 5:30 November 12 the overcast clouds had let loose soaking everything, but the loyal fans, wrapped them- selves in rain gear and drove to Fort Hill Stadium for the event. — L Beeman WHILE ON commercial break from sta- tion KISS.

New halftime perfor- mances featured the band, who showed the moves and co- ordination of 68 members, and the Belles who put togeth- er a streamer routine to Cen- terfold. After the excitement ended, and the last “Smear the Spar- tans” sign lay crumbled in the trash can, the true fans had an extra terrific Homecoming. It meant more than a mere score.

Lori Brown mends hard feelings in the soph- omore one-act entry “One Happy Fam- ily. ONE ACTS Every night for one hour thespians practiced, peaking Competition Night. For the juniors it meant a CLEAN SWEEP Tom Dudley, the Thespian’s hardy perennial of an actor, constantly perfected his craft, even when he was not on stage. He entertained by im- personating Robyn Williams, by improvising his own hu- mor, and by contorting his face in unusual shapes. When junior directors Cry- stal Miller and Nancy Wilson needed a dorm intruder for A Storm in the Dorm, they called on Dudley. His theatri- cal abilities paid off when Play Tournament judges selected him as Best Supporting Actor. Fellow classmates were honored by receiving awards for the remaining categories. Amy Friend took Best Sup- porting Actress. For Frances Filsinger’s first appearance in the One-Acts, she received Best Actress, and Darren Troutman was voted Best Ac- tor. With these four juniors getting honors, the cast took Best Play also. It was, indeed, a clean sweep. Although it was glory and parties for the juniors after they’d swept it all, the prac- tices for all three plays weren’t always fun and games. Trouble began when senior Sally Moore came down with a temperature of 103 and couldn’t participate in the tournament. Director Tara Hopcraft substituted for Moore. The new Hoyt learned her lines the night before the performance of Middle of No- where. Hopcraft wasn’t the only one who had to learn lines quickly. Sophomore Matt Co- hen didn’t have time to memo- rize his part, so he did it the day of the play. For all casts, arranging a schedule that was convenient for everyone proved to be a major problem. But when the time came to get serious and to entertain the crowd, they were ready for it. Tension between the classes could be felt, and attempts to “calm down” the participants were useless. Five minutes before each class went to the stage, Mr. John Cornmesser gave the classes good luck by doing the traditional huzzas. After each class had pre- sented their entry, it was left up to the judges. The actors waited in classrooms. “Wait- ing for the results is the only thing about the One-Acts that I don’t like,” said Michelle McFarland after her perfor- mance. Finally after 10 minutes, the casts were called back to the stage. Excited, anxious, and hopeful, the sophomores, juniors, and seniors crowded onto the stage to hear Mr. James Preaskom announce the winners in the five cate- gories. All juniors — their work and determination had paid off. They’d won it all! — F Bwnan ONE ACT WINNERS: First Row: Dar- ren Troutman. Amy Friend. Crystal Miller. Nancy Wilson. Frances Fil- singer.

Staffers purchased tee shirts to publicize the theme of the Beall High yearbook. The shirts were the same color as the cover. HAVING AN EARLY Thanksgiving feast. Robin Swanson puts together a ham and cheese sandwich. The year- book staff gave thanks and took a break before the next deadline. MATS THE WHAT’S THE DEAL? Croppers, layout sheets, and pica rulers covered the back table in Room 101. Sounds of typewriter keys banged over the roar of voices asking the familiar questions “Where’s the print book?” “How many x’s in four col- umn?” Not so calmly and not so collectively were the replies to these questions. From 11:05 to 11:55 the 24 yearbook staff- ers were the people behind the deal. Putting together a 224- page documentary wasn’t a task that just took up the first couple months of school. The ideas started in the spring when six staffers attended the CSPA Convention and flowed into the summer when 11 staffers, along with other county journalists, attended the workshop at Ohio Univer- sity. It seemed that the entire staff was plagued with confu- sion and consistent misplacing of pages, copy, pencils, and pictures. Kevin Kutler swore that someone stole his tennis copy until it turned up a couple of days later in someone else’s folder. But some items were never found. John Martirano lost his cross country copy and had to rewrite it and the bur- nisher was missing for months before it was located in “the long drawer.” Often Sherry Arnold and Mrs. Arnone took on the re- sponsibility of cleaning up after everyone during seventh period. And then one day when Mrs. Arnone was absent, sev- eral staffers rearranged the room and found out the ar- rangement was better than the old one. Meeting deadlines meant utilizing lunch periods, stay- ing after school, and working on Sunday nights. Typing relief came when ju- niors Kim Lloyd, Pattie Raf- ferty, and Dannette Miller vol- unteered to ease the load. But there were times when the staff relaxed. At Thanks- giving they pigged out on a buffet feast. The jingle party at Christ- mas showed that even staffers had a sense of humor. For Mrs. Arnone’s birth- day, Sherry Arnold’s Mom baked a cake, iced with “Hap- py Birthday, Midnight Spe- cial,” bringing back visions of the big “E” dancing around in her bathrobe in New York. Being on the staff meant taking on the responsibility of covering and reporting every- thing about 1983 and having fun doing it.

Surprise parties, gags, and pranks helped to break up the monotony of putting together a school newspaper. For each member’s birthday, the staff filled their lockers with bal- loons and celebrated with a party. On Mrs. Paula Mun- son’s birthday Becky Miller baked her a cake resembling the Chime newspaper. When not engaged in rush- ing for a deadline, Scott Raley found time to tape Mrs. Mun- son’s desk shut or anything else that would irritate her. But then it came time to work, the staff’s unity enabled them to put out their monthly issues on time. The first issue for the new staff, which was being rushed to Vo-Tech by Editor Eric An- drews and Tara Hopcraft, suf- fered a slight delay by a freak accident no more than 50 yards from the school. Luck- ily, no one was injured, and the paper still managed to be delivered on time. —L Beeman Sports editors Rick Eberly and Jeff Blank seemed to al- ways need more pictures when their deadline came around. But with the help of photogra- pher Tad Davis, they found enough pictures to fill the spaces. Assisting Davis in the darkroom was Lori Garlitz. Journalism I members, Mi- chelle McFarland, Bryan Murphy, and Tammy Higgins, who accumulated the highest number of points, journeyed to New York to catch up on the newest trends for a school newspaper, while still seeing the many sights of the “Big Apple.” Using some new ideas, the Homecoming issue came out with a poster of the queen and her attendants, along with the football squad and those in- volved in the homecoming ac- tivities. New techniques along with lots of fun led to a successful year accompanied by several surprises. WITH FULL CONCENTRATION on not moving a stick.

A box of Cheer was awarded for their enthu- siasm. CROWD Crowd pleasers. From Meet-the-Squad until graduation — they were out front. With butterflies, smiles, and shaky hands, they strutted their stuff. Performers ranged from rookie seventh graders to the senior veterans. Junior high students-got involved in assemblies by tumbling, baton twirling, and singing. Stephanie and Tara Davies stole third place in the an- nual talent show. The seventh and eighth grade boys also participat- ed in Tri-County Basket- ball League which gave them experience tolerating fans and upset coaches. Fist clenches became even tighter as the varsity sports competed. With the stands packed and the yells from the cheerleaders and an un- merciful crowd, the jocks tried to please. Supporting the teams, the cheerleaders were found wherever the Moun- ties ventured. They also participated in the Thanks- giving assembly and orga- nized and conducted all pep rallies. Putting together their show for Meet-the-Squad, Drill Team Captain Crystal Miller found screaming to 35 line members was haz- ardous to her voice. Miller lost her voice and had to use a bullhorn to finish out the summer practice. When August 26 ar- rived, the line was ready. Throughout the year they found many opportunities to show what they could do, pleasing the crowd with high kicks and smiles. During the Frankfort basketball game, the Belles attempted to perform, but the P.A. system wouldn’t agree, and after three min- utes, Mrs. Judy Conrad was heard to introduce the offi- cers. “I was so embar- rassed,” commented Co- Captain Kelly Kight. “Ev- eryone just stared.” Batons and flags covered the field to add glamour to the marching band.

First or second soprano, alto, accompanist, and a di- rector — all the makings of the senior high ensemble. With big performances at Christmas and Spring Fes- tival, the student body looked forward to the sound of music from this group. WCBC recorded the en- semble's Christmas pro- gram for “their listening enjoyment” all the way to Shawn Barmony’s final words, “Merry Christmas to you and your families.” Those few brave souls who stood up to sing out alone had to be given cred- it.

BEHIND THE SCENES Sounds of the pit band blasting We Got the Beat echoed throughout the audi- torium. Nine hundred sixty- one students and teachers filled the squeaky chairs and began chattering back and forth. The lights dimmed and the murmur of voices died as the spotlight hit Vice Presi- dent Tim Eichhorn, calling the annual Christmas assem- bly to order. Behind the curtain and in the balcony, members of the stage crew rushed to make sure everything was set. Usu- ally Steve McIntyre worked the lights and Steve Michaels cleared the stage for the next act, but each member was responsible for the lights and setting for every scene. Two-year veteran Janet Twigg was the only girl will- ing to help out with the props, scenery, and lighting. Their job wasn’t one of glamour and recognition. Often they put up with peo- ple complaining about the mikes and music. They liked what they were doing and they were proud of their contributions for the stage performances. Always on the run, speed- ing throughout the school to lead the student body to safe- ty, the fire marshals'jumped at the sound of every alarm to secure the doors and win- dows. This year, eight girls were chosen to be fire marshals and half of them were in the same sixth period class of over 40 kids. “We always seemed to be running into each other since we were all headed for the same exit,” stated Valerie Crow. Usually the monthly fire alarm was given during sixth period which meant junior Frances Filsinger had to run from the chorus room to her post at the girls' gym in the junior high. Sometimes the fire drills had to be repeated. Accord- Continued on page 51) RFHiNn-rm- scfnfs — L. FWman At work behind the SCENES POINTING OUT THE LOCATION of Austria.

It was a small place with familiar people and familiar places. Your best friend lived down the road and you ate Sunday dinner over at Grandma's. Things were easy here. To go away for two weeks to visit with Aunt Ruth or to travel to Florida with Mom and Dad was one thing. But leaving Frostburg, friends, and family for your senior year was another. It took guts, and Carol McFarland took the challenge and spent her senior year in Finland. Finland. Not many of us even knew where Finland was, let alone what Finns ate for breakfast (we found out it was porridge.) Carol learned much while in Finland but more importantly, she had fun doing it. Sure there were bad times when she felt lonely and excluded and she wondered what she was doing there, but Carol never regretted going once. From the first week, Carol felt at home with her new family. She called her mother Aiti, Finnish for mother and her father Isi. Her sister Pau- lina was 16 and a friend as well as her sister. Together Paulina and Carol joked around, went to the movies. and baked things. Her mother spook English well and it was with her that Carol mostly- communicated. Their “modern house” fea- tured an indoor pool, 15 yards, six yards by six yards, and a sauna. Secondly, to Carol “the sauna was absolutely the greatest device invented! After a tough day Carol would go to sauna and “every- thing sort of melted away.” The whole family went to- gether, so it was a perfect place to talk about difficult things like feelings and prob- lems. Carol tried to get involved in everything. She joined a private volleyball team, the Tuomarilla Naiset, and at- tended a Finnish University, taking four hours a week. At school Carol joined a sports club since it was the only club at school—and got a part in the Christmas play. Since Carol was unable to put con- vincing feeling into her Finn- ish, she had to play the chick- en. But she admitted that “even the imitations of animal sounds were different in Fin- land.” “I had to admit that I didn’t like school so much. At first the kids were really friendly and always looking for me to sit with them or talk to them, but my newness wore off and they treated me like just an- other kid. The biggest problem Carol had was with the language. In order to talk with someone she had to join the group all the while concentrating deeply on the conversation and then translating her answer into Finnish. By that time the group was off on another sub- ject. It was frustrating and impossible for Carol to joke around or say spur-of-the-mo- ment things. “I have met some people whom I am friends with. I go to their parties and out with them, but it just isn’t the same as it was with Joni and Nancy and my friends I’ve known since seventh grade.” The kids in Finland started English lessons in the fourth grade and most of them spoke English well. Since it was very British English, Carol didn’t know how to pronounce queue, what a synonym loary was, or what the referee for cricket was called. With her friends, Carol went to the discos in Helsinki. This gave her the chance to hear American music “since there was never anything on the radio but Finnish polkas GETTING TO KNOW her new sisler Paulina and Iheir dog Nekkii. AFS for- eign exchange student Carol McFar- land. talks with her new family. and the Russian news!” Living “Finnishly” meant eating “Finnishly.” At Pikn- joulu, a big, little Christmas celebrating party, Carol was introduced to three kinds of raw fish. “One was salmon, one was some grey and red slimy stuff that looked like square worms, and the other was horrible chunks of meat.” Carol forced herself to try ev- erything even if she thought she would hate it. Her family also ate Baltic Sprat often, which was a salty little fish cooked and eaten with boiled potatoes. In May, Carol was still trying to devel- op a taste for them. “I developed a kind of bond with Finland as a country, a sort of relationship to it that I knew that after I returned home, everytime 1 heard Fin- land spoken about, I would get a flood of memories rushing back to me. Maybe I left part of myself in Finland, with my Finish family and friends. I hope so. I know I would take some of Finland home with me, no matter how good or bad, it would be a permanent part of me.” Carol seemed far away, but she was “home.” PREPARING FOR THE AFS DINNER.

It’s hard to think of the little town of Frostburg and Beall as the real USA. But for Reinhard Vomsattel Frostburg was the USA he came to know. The biggest difference Rhiney noticed was in the schools. “In Switzerland we just go to school to learn; ev- erybody thinks only in good grades and the relationships between the students are not important.” Rhiney stressed that he felt the clubs after school “help you to meet people and social- ize more which keeps the in- terest in school.” In Switzerland the teachers are something very important and everybody is afraid to speak to them. Here the teachers are not so far away from the students and that’s very positive. Rhiney liked the openness and the way people laugh and carry on. “For the kids here it is normal to have a good time, but in Switzerland people find it hard to be open.” Staying in America Rhiney has learned many things that confused him before. “What I learned in AFS is that all peo- ple are the same and only lan- guage, color, and nationality distinguish them from each other.” “When the AFS spokesman talked about the USA, for me it was only a big space of the earth, but now USA is Frostburg. The people from Frostburg and Beall High School have become more than a space to me, but people I learned to love.” Rhiney enjoyed his stay in America, but also looked for- ward to getting home.

Beeman made it a point to get up in time every weekend to catch the Smurfs at 9:00 a.m. ™ S LEEPERS Winter storm warnings kept everyone in bed until 7:00 listening to WKGO for 2 hour delays and Allegany County school cancellations. It wasn’t easy to get up at 6:30 a.m. and be fully awake by homeroom, but Rhonda McKenzie was up by 5:00 a.m. to soak in a hot bath for at •east a half an hour before heading off to school. Usually Robin Swanson spent her morning yelling at her sister Randi and griping about being late. Randi often ignored her and took her time. Most girls envied the guy who could be ready in 20 min- utes. “All they had to do was get a quick shower and go,” complained Missy Robison. Molly Coberly usually got to school at 8:30 a.m., and Rick Hess was a regular in the attendance office. Hess had a hard time getting up and often slept until mid-afternoon on weekends. Saturday morning was a time to catch up on some sleep or rise to work, clean or watch cartoons. Senior Youth Bowl- ing League members were up by 9:00 a.m. but President Wendy Monahan didn’t roll out of bed until 9:50 to make it to the lanes by 10:00. Cheryl Kenney and Sharri Davis rose by 8:30 to watch the Smurfs, and Janna Lloyd was up early to clean her room. At 5:00 a.m. every Satur- day morning Troy Wilhelm was out delivering his papers. When finished, he crawled back into bed and slept until ' 1:00 or 1:30. Ken Staggs used to getting up for school, rose by 9:00, but Diane Davidson never rolled out until noon. Some kids were early risers and always bustling about smiling and fully awake. Oth- ers enjoyed sleeping late and made the most of it. Reaction Unemployment hit its high- est point of 16% since the de- pression. Gas costs took a five cents tax hike. Union mem- bers struck to protest their need of a salary increase. The problems of the economy kept the student body money con- scious. The squeeze was on, and the BHS students had to adjust. Part-time jobs were a way that kids could acquire their money to spend on the week- ends. Garnett Wheeler and Troy Skidmore faithfully de- livered the Cumberland Times to the districts of Frost- burg. They could be found ev- ery day after school in front of the Times-News office. Some kids got their money by babysitting. Jeff Blank — L. Beeman earned his pocket money by sitting for his niece. Lynda McKenzie babysat almost ev- ery weekend until she got her job at McDonald’s. Shoveling snow and cutting grass were seasonal jobs for Darren Howell along with working at Fox’s Pizza Den part-time. Other students didn’t have to find a part-time job to pay for miscellaneous items. Allowances were still given to some kids even through the rough times. Amounts ranged anywhere from $3.00 to $20.00. Christie Dormer got “only $5.00 per week.” But she also got money whenever it’s needed. Money from allowances was saved up to buy Christmas presents, year- CHOSEN TO EVALUATE the nutri- tion education program.

Yearbook edi- tors celebrated at the restaurant after sending the last deadline. books, and the Chime, Jeff McKenzie who got $20.00 a week found that the gas situa- tion made money scarce when it came to buying other things. A savings account was a way for many students to keep from spending all their money. Kids put some money away in banks and in their parents’ credit unions to collect inter- est. Chuck McCormick found that an account at First Na- tional Bank was a good idea to get ahead. During summer practices, many people brought their own food to eat instead of spending money on the high cost of fast food. Mary Beth Hinkle did eat at Hardee’s or McDonald’s but asked for wa- ter, which was free, instead of — L. Bc«man buying a drink. Riding around every Satur- day night from 7:00 to 12:00 became a problem as far as gas went. Sheetz’s was the main place to get gas after dark. Robin Swanson used her last dollar to buy gas to get home without walking from Sheetz’s to Frost Avenue. But walking proved to be much cheaper than taking the car, at least until the winter months hit. Then it was too cold to walk. People had to cut out cou- pons and search for sales in order to save some of the mon- ey they did have to spend. Money was tight everywhere, but the students tried to beat the high costs of the declining economy. — INFLATION _ L B«eman tyfflyr rfo Vyi J ■ . : 1 y— r oj r CHECKING OUT THE PRICES of the new spring clothing at Mary Carol’s, Mary Beth Hinkle decides to put a pair of shorts for drill team on lay-away. — L Bwmjn TAKING ADVANTAGE OF the closing of school.

The nominees were Kim Buskirk, Valerie Crowe, Cheryl Kenney, Jean Ann LaClair, Janna Lloyd, Lynda McKenzie, Wendy Monahan, Eva Summers and Linda Tyler. For Miller the fairy tale ro- mance of becoming a queen was now a reality and she felt her “bolt of electricity” when Mr. James Thompson relayed the news over the public ad- dress system.

COME ON GUYS” screams cheerleader Frances Fi singer at an after school soccer game against Oldtotr The cheerleaders were excused along with the ten members to attend the 4:00 games. To us it was — giving the game our best, smiling even when we lost, screaming in the stands, and jogging after school. The deal meant — struggling to make first string, arguing with the referees, riding for 45 minutes on a battered school bus, and having butterflies multiply in our stomachs before the match. — L.

That’s what greeted the boys’ tennis team on their first day of practice. They didn't like it, but it was necessary because they wanted another undefeated season. So they ran. Every day be- fore and after practice the team trudged around the fence and bounded up the bleachers as Coach Bill — M Payrw “Bear” Payne put the netters through a heavy pre-season conditioning program. Payne had organized an off- season training program (which even included aero- bics) and those who did it, found that they could adjust to the running better. The others weren’t that lucky as Matt Troutman found. “I knew we would have to run, but I didn’t think it would be like that.” Coach Payne had his rea- sons. “I knew the boys had the talent to be the best in the area, and we weren’t going to lose because we weren’t in shape.” So every day exhausted team members struggled home, already dreading the next day and wondering if it were worth it. The answer would come soon afterwards as the team traveled to Fort Hill for their first match. During the ride to Cumberland, Mr. Payne made a proposition. “Boys, if we fin- ish the year undefeated, we’ll eat steaks at my expense. Liking the idea, the netters started tasting the beef as they downed the Sentinels 4-3. As the season progressed and the unbeaten string lengthened, “Bear” started keeping an eye on his wallet.

The 3200 meter relay team was the best Beall ever had. aving a record-breaking year, the Beall High 3200 meter re- lay team improved its time at almost every meet, and on each occasion, they set a new school record. Thinclads Kevin Wilson, Ben Filer, Shon Brodie, and Wendall Winfield had their best at 8:39.9. Probably the most publi- cized track meet of the season was the Beall High Invita- tional. Queen Vanessa Tomsic represented the locals who saw Flintstone’s Deb Goodwin crowned Miss Invitational. Locally, Beall got off to a flying start in dual and trian- gular meets, winning their first eight meets. But then their first place streak came to an end at the district in Boonsboro where the team finished second to a strong host. Individually the 3200 meter relay team took first place. Kevin Wilson scored first in the 800. David Loar finished first in 100 meter hurdles; and Wendall Winfield, first in the TO REGAIN the lead.

The girls’ tennis team start- ed off the season with opti- mism and hopes of retaining the WMI title, but as the sea- son progressed, the dream faded. The starting line-up varied each week because of the injuries. The team began the cam- paign with a close 4-3 decision at the hands of Allegany. Mrs. Nancy Cotton stated that “if the team would have won this match, they might have a bet- ter year.” But as the season wore on, the situation got worse for the girls. After a whitewashing from Bishop Walsh, the team lost another close decision to the Sentinels of Fort Hill by a 4-3 margin. The season came to a disap- pointing end with losses to B- W., Alco, and Fort Hill by identical 5-2 scores. As for the girls’ track team, superstition was the name of their game. Three broken win- dows meant 21 years of bad luck or one year of catastro- phe. The first broken window, caused by the hurdlers, was on the second floor of the senior high. The next one was in the ju- nior high lobby. But the most exciting was Kathv Kerr’s backward release of the discus through the locker room win- dow. That was the result of start- ing track practice indoors at the early date of March 1. The female jocks stayed indoors, jogging all over the school, hurdling down the main lobby, and sprinting in the junior high. Finally the April weather arrived, and the girls “sweated up and headed out. After being tromped by B.W. and Allegany, the girls got serious and finished with many individual improve- ments. Lori Labor improved her 400 meter time of 1:16 to 1:07, and Michele Cotton cut three seconds off her 300-me- ter hurdles. Kathy Rankin threw the dis- cus 76’4” at the regionals at Boonsboro; she missed the fin- als by two feet. Valerie Crowe broke the school record in the 100 meter hurdles and she placed sixth in the state meet. The girls of the track and tennis teams may. not have won many, but they always could be found “grinning in the face of defeat.” GIRLS’ TENNIS If baseball games were only five innings instead of seven, maybe the team wouldn’t have had to face those . . .

The Beall nine jumping out early in eight of their 11 losses before falling to late inning rallies. That was the story of the season. It had started off just as the games had — with wind- sprints, endless laps, and tire- some staircases providing two weeks of rigorous indoor training. Of course, those exercises didn’t hurt as much when members of the girls’ track team peeked in through the gym doors. Once the game got under way, things slowed down and the team started playing seri- ous ball. The nine chalked up a cou- ple of wins before falling to Southern on a last inning ral- ly-killing call to nullify the winning run: the Mountie runner’s helmet had come off as he rounded third. From that point on, the team played .500 ball and pre- pared for the first Valley showdown. Rick F.berly held the Black Knights as the game went into extra innings. There, an error, wild throw, and a single produced the win- ning run as Valley won 5-4. The team continued on, and met three tough opponents all on successive days. Fort Hill, Mt. Savage, and Allegany all went away winners. Losing four of the next sev- en, the boys lost sight of the play-offs, let alone a .500 sea- son. For the first time in five years, the team missed gaining a berth in post-season play.

But Beall surprised the fans as they proved to be a worthy opponent J he third time around was sup- posed to be the charm, at least according to the odds. And even though the team had lost two close decisions during the season, Coach Leonard Ritchie agreed, “we still had a good shot at upset- ting the Aggies.” State playoff hopes rested on the outcome of the final district contest, for the hooters had found the semi- finals with Clear Spring easy going. Down by 1-0 at the half, to Flintstone in the finals, Rit- chie and his boys had not giv- r the Aggies. en up. But with 15:34 remain- ing in the game, the 3-1 deficit was insurmountable. The season had begun fa- vorably as Beall defeated Hyndman 5-2, with five dif- ferent people scoring. Then came the first of the Big Two. Enthusiastic spirit and in- tense play brought the squads to a scoreless tie at the end of regulation and after the first overtime. But with 49 seconds left in the second overtime, Flintstone’s Scott Morall took a corner kick which richochet- ed off Goalie Eric Dean and into the net. Then it was on to five victo- ries in a row, including the 2-1 overtime victory against Sav- age. Beall readied for the Flintstone showdown after de- feating Salisbury, Valley, Bruce, and Oldtown. Again Morall scored, but with two minutes left in the first half, Kevin Kutler tied the score at one. And then with five minutes left in the game. Morall moved in for another goal and the 2-1 final was enough to keep Flintstone’s unbeaten streak alive. A 10-4 record earned the team second place in the WMI.

On the M ovz Again This group didn’t do much winning during the regular season, but when the state competition was over, the team was labeled winner. uestion marks! That's how ev- eryone described the cross country team. They were de- fending state champs, but they were just hoping for a good season. After a month of practice, Mr. Ed Langan didn’t know what to expect. He found out right away as the season be- gan with two losses by over- whelming margins to Alco and Fort Hill. Coming home for the first home match, the team was put up against the Flintstone Aggies. The harri- ers registered a victory, which proved to be their only regular season win. But as the season went on, the team, according to Coach — L Befman IN THE FINAL 100 yards of the Keyser meet, junior Tad Davis starts his final kick in the 3.2 mile event.

Even though the team end- ed the season with three con- secutive losses, they were opti- mistic leading into the Re- gional and State meets. The team’s strong second place finish in regional com- petition took them to the states. Everyone expected the team to hold its own, but no one anticipated what eventu- ally happened. When the points were to- taled, the team finished third behind the strong teams of Middletown and Hammond in the 15-team competition. Junior Tad Davis finished the three mile course in a time of 17:02 to finish in twelfth place and gain a bronze med- al. Tom Dudley and Eric Hall placed sixteenth and twenti- eth respectively. The greatest surprise of the competition was freshman Marne Davis, the only female runner on the team. She had entered the state meet as an independent, and she finished the 2.5 mile run in a time of 16:38, gaining seventh place. Marne also finished second in the county and area meets and sixth in the districts. They didn’t win the state ti- tle but managed to cope with the drawbacks of a young team and had a good season. —Ruhr — CROSS COUNTRY NEARING THE END of the course at Constitution Park in Cumber- land. junior Tom Dudley begins his final kick.

I've ■I asked you ■I nicely for H| the past four years; now I’m telling you. Go down there and win!” Mr. James Thompson shouted to the foot- ball team at the Homecoming Pep Rally. Although that fired the Mounties up, the rainy, blus- tery evening dampened the spirit of victory. Before the game had even started, the team was mud- packed and wet — not an ideal night for a game. The Mounties were put to a halt in the first half as B.W. scored three touchdowns with no extra points. But coming back from half- time, Beall dominated the third quarter action. Sparked by the running of Scott Raley, the Mounties marched 68 yards in 11 plays with Raley powering over on a fourth and one, and Barmoy added the PAT with 5:45 left in the third quarter. Dave Sween kept the drive alive with an 11-yard pass to Bill Livingston. Fired up, the locals stopped Walsh for the second time and quickly marched 60 yards in 10 plays. The score came on the first play of the final peri- od on a 30-yard Sween to Liv- ingston pass on fourth and five, plus a two-point conver- sion, making the score 18-15. B.W. then applied the crushing blow. Moving from its 41 in nine plays, the Spar- tans were on the board on the one-yard carry by Marc Fir- lie, who won outstanding de- fensive and offensive honors. Eight minutes and 27 seconds remained, but the contest was settled. If not then, it was definitely decided two plays later when Craig Luzier picked off Sween’s pass to Livingston at the Beall 28 and dashed to paydirt with 7:21 left. Defensively Kerry Plummer had seven tackles with Neil Haines adding five. Raley rushed for 124 yards on 28 carries to spark the of- fense. Dirty and wet, which they had been the whole game, and very much disappointed, the gridders headed home to face an understanding Mr. Thompson and his “Nice Guy” speech.

But they fell short. e a d y , willing, and able were the Moun- taineer foot- ball play- ers, most of whom had been work- ing for ’82 since ’81. Yet this season was best described by Coach Gerard Calhoun as “cautious optimism.” Although 13 seniors re- turned from the Region I and Highland Football Confer- ence Championship team, some key positions needed filled. Then finally it arrived, the first game versus Hampshire. The extra work and summer practice culminated in the 49- 0 victory. This helped to set the stage for the “Calhoun vs. Calhoun” game. This was the first game against his father for Coach Mike Calhoun as the head coach for the Tornadoes. Coach Jerry Calhoun ap- proached this one as just an- other game,” and what “an- other game” it turned out to be. From the start it was an offensive battle which ended 23-21 in favor of the Golden Tornadoes, only after the Mounties produced a game ending drive that was halted by an interception. Then 1-1, the Blue and Gold tallied five straight vic- tories — one an overtime vic- tory with Frankfort and an- other over the 1983 Region I Champs, Northern. These victories carried the team into Cumberland Times 1 ranking, until Allegany claimed the spot one week lat- er. Highland Conference All- Stars, selected by area coaches, included offense backs Shawn Barmoy and Scott Raley, line- man Chad Brode, receiver Bill Livingston.

Too often there were complaints and not enough recognition. though the man- agers, score- keepers and timekeepers were over- looked, un- derprivi- leged, and taken for granted, they still stuck with their jobs. Without these hard-working individ- uals, those little jobs that were necessary which the players, fans, and coaches didn’t really bother to notice, were accom- plished. For the statisticians it meant giving up two nights a week to keep the clock ticking and to tally the total points. For the female stats, it was a front row seat to watch their favorite guys compete. And for the fellows, it was more of a coach’s firm request. While the statisticians were keeping scores, behind the scenes, the managers were busy keeping the coaches and the team members satisfied. Whatever it meant — filling the water bottles, collecting the balls, or rolling the mats up, the managers could al- ways be depended on. Three year managers Ronald Filer and Doug Haberlein accord- ing to Coach Gerard Calhoun, were accredited to having been “the best football man- agers I ever had in 26 years as head coach.” “Come on Clark.” These three words were repeatedly heard throughout the year during all the wrestling prac- tices. Two year wrestling man- ager Kevin Clark, having missed but one practice in his two years, said, “It’s the best time I’ve ever had working for someone.” But when there are 23 girls working for a coach, things seem to go a whole lot smooth- er. The Beall High Trackettes served as the backbone of the track team. The Trackettes kept time, measured the shot put, discus, and occasionally picked up a few remarks from the guys on the other teams. Sometimes the remarks were rude and unfair. They blamed us when their time wasn’t good as they wanted,” commented Michele Cotton. The highlight of the Trackette season was the Beall High In- vitational. Fourteen teams traveled to Beall, and the Trackettes handled the stats just as if it were a regular meet. These were the people who were yelled and swore at, but these were the people who made it all happen. WORN DOWN from all the running around, football manager. Doug Haber- lein trudges off the field and into the locker room. Often the football manag- ers were sent to fetch Gatorade. AFTER THE BEALL-Fort Hill game.

Manley was the only freshman to start for the team. VOLLEYBALL Basic Training Six people - that’s all they had. But Beall’s hopes were still high. rom the start it looked like a season for teaching skills to inexperienced players. The team started from the basics and worked their way up to game level. With their first five match- es falling to defeat, the team began to lose hopes of winning a match. Then came the sixth match against Flintstone and Old- town. The girls pulled out their first two victories and re- alizing that they had the skill to win, they decided it was time to get down to business. Co-captains Molly Coberly and Joni Brode began to take charge when their cohorts made careless mistakes; extra laps, sit-ups, and push-ups re- sulted. The team shaped up and worked together, and when they dropped their match to Bishop Walsh in a hard- fought contest, they worked even harder. With extra incentives, the girls easily defeated the Cam- perettes. Following the match, Coach Chris Kreiling and some of the parents, took the team to Fox’s for pizza. The last game was on a Monday night against an un- defeated Mt. Savage. Along with Coach Kreiling, the team decided to be spoilers. Mon- day after school they prac- ticed in the girls’ gym until 4:30, getting ready for their match at 7:00. At 6:15 the Mounties left for Savage. Up for the game, the girls thought they could pull off the big upset; unfortu- nately the opponents didn’t cooperate. Losing their first game 9- 15, they knew they had to win the next two. The second game volleyed back and forth, but when the game point was scored, the Lady Indians came out on top 15-12. Said Molly Coberly, speak- ing for herself, the veterans, and Coach Kreiling, “We were in there all the way, and the recruits certainly helped our season.” G VanMeter KEEPING her eye on the ball.

Even though everyone hated it, they knew deep inside they wanted to be the best. “Conditioning.” Coach Da- vis believed that this was the key factor to a successful team. Everyone dreaded the first two weeks of practice be- cause of those awful circuit stations. Saturday practices added excitement to the season as “Davis” ball, relay races, bas- ketball games, and sometimes a touch football game, (with Coach Davis making up the rules as they went along) .broke the monotony of the same old stuff. But the biggest problem of the season for most of the wrestlers was trying to make weight. Everyone envied 98- pound Billy Caton, who was always pounds under, and heavy-weight Roger Bennett, who could eat as much as he wanted. With the weight problem came all of the grouchy wrestlers, full of crude remarks at the lunch ta- ble. After the weigh-ins, though, it was time to munch down. Anything could be found in the locker room from Brian Davis’ roast beef to the plain old peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The most popu- lar item on the food list this year was gatorade.

McKen- zie turned in and pinned Gregory to capture his first tournament victory of his career. any teams in the region be- lieved there was no way that Beall could win the state two years in a row. With this in mind, the Mounties cracked down on post season practice and then went on to capture their sec- ond consecutive state title. But first they had to get there. The locals entered the Bi-County tournament with everyone seeded in the top three. Brian McKenzie, Kevin Kutler, Jeff McKenzie, Jeff Raley, Brian Davis, T.R. Mazer, Scott Raley, and Shawn Barinov all captured first to secure their number one seed. Kevin Buckalew and Steve McIntyre copped second and Tim Fell and Dave Bow- man finished as number three seeds. Then at 10:15 on February 25, 12 wrestlers, six cheer- leaders, and Coach Gary Da- vis loaded up the bus for the trip to Williamsport. Eight of the 12 wrestlers managed to get by the first action. With Beall behind by six points after the first round, the outcome didn’t look too bright for the team champion- ship. But with the pep talk that night at the motel and with some hard wrestling the following day, Brian McKen- zie, Kutler, Davis, Mazer, and Scott Raley won their semi-fi- nal matches to put them in the finals. Buckalew, Barmoy, and Bowman had setbacks in the semi-finals, but all three man- aged to get to the consolation finals. After a quick meal at Roy Rogers, the team was ready to wrestle. Finding out that they were one-half point behind South Carroll brought added pressure, but didn't seem to phase the Mounties as all five finalists championed. Bucka- lew and Barmoy captured third. With seven wrestlers quali- fying for the state tourna- ment, there was just no stop- ping Beall as they headed for Towson. McKenzie, Kutler, and Mazer captured the state titles at their weights.

Twenty girls tried out for the girl’s varsity team. Since there were so many girls. Coach Chris Krieling took one week to make her cuts. Then it was down to business. With 11 girls on the team and only two starters back from last year, it was go- ing to take a lot of work to have a successful season—but all the girls were willing. The team practiced every- day for two hours and at the beginning of the season Coach Kreiling stressed conditioning drills. With their first game only 2 months away, the start- ing five began to put plays to- — W Payiw _ gether and to take shape. With their first game at Southern, the lady Mounties were determined to avenge a two-point region play-off loss to the Rams last year. But all too soon they were down by 10 and after only two minutes of play their senior starter Molly Coberly sprained her ankle and was out for the remainder of the game. (Four more times she would fall to the dreaded ankle injury and later in the season, Rona Hansel, and Nerissa Wampler joined her. Thus, the beginning of a se- ries of setbacks, the next five out of seven outings found Beall losing their hopes of a playoff spot. But then the team’s play began to take force with two impressive vie- !. Payne tories over the first and sec- ond-seeded teams. First placed Mt. Savage had beaten the Mountaineers earlier in the season by six- teen. In their second meeting, the girls down by six at half- time, rallied to tie the game early in the fourth quarter. The score see-sawed back and forth and with four seconds left, Coberly scored on a des- peration shot and held off the Indians. The second big victory was over arch-rival Valley Black Knights. Beall dominated the entire game and won by a 46- 41 verdict. The lady jocks also began some traditions. Before each game the team listened to mu- sic in the locker room and warmed up to favorite It's Raining Men. The music seemed to pysche up the team and after fruitless attempts to get the girls to turn the music off or at least turn it down. Coach Kreiling gave in. On all away games, which the team liked the most be- cause of the bus trips and get- ting to wear their favorite uni- forms, the girls sat in the same seats. Michelle Cotton and Diane Kenney sat in the very back seats, supplying the mu- sic and Coach Kreiling who sat in the very front seat. Though plagued by injur- ies, the lady Mounties showed that they were of top calibur material and were to be taken seriously with several big vic- tories and a winning season. AFTER A FOUL was called on teammate Kelly Manley, Sharon Winner (35) real- izes that it was a good block but Manley still picked up her third foul. Beall won the regional game against Hancock qualifying them for the semi-finals. — W Payor FOLLOWING AN IMPRESSIVE FIRST half, the girls’ basketball team listens to Coach Chris Kreil- ing who warned the team about the driving power of Mt.

Every- body had them whether it was eating hot oatmeal for breakfast ev- ery day or wearing green on Thursday. Some people be- lieved in everything from the weekly horoscope to lucky rabbits’ feet. Most athletes had lucky charms or daily routines on game days; others just relied on fate. Eric Harman, a freshman JV basketball player, began the season by wearing a jacket and tie to the games, but the team wasn’t winning and Har- mon switched to a sweater. Then the team began winning and Harman continued to wear a sweater for the rest of the season. Before the team hit the CARRYING HIS FAMOUS TOWEL. Coach Mick Cunningham heads back to the bench after a time-out. Cunning- ham was notorious for taking his frus- trations out on the towel. mats for warm-ups, defending state wrestling champion Scott Raley had an unusual, but effective, way of getting himself ready. He beat his head against the wall in the boys’ locker room. Chris McCluckie believed that for a person to continue his good luck streak, he had to do the exact same thing before every game. McLuckie dressed the same way, parked in the same parking place, and arranged his gym bag in the same order before every bas- ketball game. Other jocks ate the same things before each contest. Members of the girls’ tennis team munched on Pizza Com- bos furnished by Nancy Wil- son and peanut butter crack- ers and lemonade contributed by Coach Nancy Cotton. Ginny Dormer always ate a chipped ham sandwich, and Kevin Buckalew ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Gatorade, a Twix and Snick- ers bar. In addition, “Buck” wore his “lucky” undergar- ment. Steve McIntyre never shaved until right before a match, and junior basketball player Michele Cotton drib- bled the ball three times with a backspin before every free throw. Volleyball veteran Kim Williams kept the same num- ber for the length of her career and wore the same shoes for every match. For away games and matches, some tried to get the same seat every time. Chris Brady always sat behind the statisticians, and Rick Eberly was always close to the cheer- leaders. John Brewer liked to sit in the sixth seat on the right side. Music, whether easy listen- ing or loud soul, helped pre- pare some jocks for the game. The Eberly brothers listened to You Dropped A Bomb on Me by the Gap Band and Let It Whip by the Dazz Band. But B.J. Pugh would rather have listened to the King of Rock -n Roll Elvis Presley be- fore a football contest or a track meet. Molly Coberly liked to sleep before a girls’ basketball game, and Kevin Kutler has done the same neckbridges be- fore each match since ninth grade. Not only did individuals have superstitions, but the teams themselves had their own special routines and charms. The wrestling team warmed up for every home match to the theme from Rocky I, Gonna Fly Now, and Eye of the Tiger from Rocky III. Basketball Coaches Mick Cunningham and Lindy Shank carried on the tradition of the blue gold towel from former Coach Ozzie Nelson. Superstitions were impor- tant despite the retorts of those who said it was non- sense. Everyone wanted to win so why not avoid walking un- der ladders, crossing the path of a black cat, or shying awa) from number 13.

SUPERSTITIONS Taking it easy the hard way They weren’t obligated to practices and coaches, but they worked just as hard to keep in shape. There weren’t any state cham- pionships or playofTs for those who filled their free time with leisure sports, but the fun of competition and exercise was reward enough. Everyone was involved in some activity from the perren- ial favorites of tennis and bas- ketball to the repeatedly pop- ular racquetball and aerobics. When the National Foot- ball League players went on strike, John Nelms, Dave Moore, Brad Barmoy, and Jeff Blank took matters into their own hands. Every Sunday they played their own brand of football at Frostburg State. — R. Swanson A DISABLED Lisa Gllkey reaches for her English and CWP books with her good arm.

While many enjoyed the shelter of indoor sports, some traveled through harsh weath- — L. B««man er to reach the Wisp so the; could hit the slopes. Skiing caught on in the junior high with Mark Spataro and Karen Williams traveling to the re- sort every Wednesday on the bus trip sponsored by the Community Center. The feel- ing about the climate was summed up by eighth grader Dawn Barmoy who said, “You don’t have the time to think about being cold, unless you fall.” They called them leisure sports, but the time spent and the rewards of exercise were both hard earned and satisfy- ing.

March 31 was their kids’ special day. They had a good reason to be proud. But what about the ones who didn’t make it? They worked hard too, didn’t they? Of course, to some, it seemed unfair that their friends had received letters in- viting them to join Honor So- ciety and they hadn’t. And students did find it hard to meet the standards: to maintain a 3.0 average, take part in extracurricular activi- ties, and have leadership and citizenship qualities. Not ev- eryone could manage all that. Complaining didn’t do any good. It certainly didn’t change anything.

It never really paid off, but until the cheaters got caught, they thought they were aking the easy way out Cheating. The oldest and easiest way to get a good grade on tests.

That’s why students wondered if there would be any changes to make this one different. When students and faculty poured into the school on the first day, they found that Bea I High was N ew and improved A big change. That’s what everyone expected when they heard the plans for the “new Beall High.” But even though Phase I of the re- modeling plan hadn’t begun, students did notice some dif- ferences. When Dr. H. William Mitchell was hired to replace Dr. Wayne Hill as Superinten- dent of Allegany County Pub- lic Schools, taxpayers, em- ployees, and students specu- lated about his POPS program and his other innova- tive ideas. Since Mitchell came from the South and had yet to experience a snowy win- ter, kids hoped for more de- layed openings. During the week before school started, families of stu- dents received the traditional newsletter which listed several staff changes. Miss Molly Borgman replaced Mr. Thom- as Blair, teaching business courses; Mr. Otto Ross taught higher math classes; and Miss Cathi Jones taught junior high kids how to cook and sew. The secretarial duties in the vice principals’ office were given to Mrs. Mary Susan Scott, who took the position of secretary. Mr. James Thompson, was amazed that she never failed to greet him with a cheerful smile. Kids approaching their six- teenth birthday who hadn’t yet taken driver’s ed were pan- ic-stricken when the Frost- burg-Keyser section of the newspaper announced that the program would be dropped from the school’s cur- riculum. Relief came when the ru- mor that the driver’s educa- tion course would once again be taught at Beall High School was found to be true. The catch was that it cost $75 and would be held after school instead of as a regular class. It was either pay or wait two more long years to get a driver’s license. It was a year for new books. The entire English depart- ment got literature paper- backs, and to update their ex- periments, some chemistry classes acquired lab manuals. Accounting classes got off to a late start when the new texts and workbooks arrived weeks after school started. Students taking business machines were the privileged few who got to try out the word processor in Bookroom 202. Received in mid-Octo- ber, the Hewlett-Packard sys- tem, considered the “Cadillac of computers,” cost the system $7,343. Business machines, instructed by Mrs. Judy Wil- son, was the only class to use the processor. Juniors and seniors who had taken BSCS Biology from Mr. Gerard Calhoun were in- furiated when they heard from sophomores taking the class that he no longer re- quired a notebook to be hand- ed in at the end of each nine- week grading period. Pre- viously, students were up until one or two o’clock on the night before the completed note- books were due. Getting their names in the paper for good grades was an incentive for students to work hard for a “B” average — un- til the Cumberland Times adopted a new honor roll poli- cy. The paper printed only the names of kids who achieved all “A”s and the number of those who made the “B” honor roll. This new method was dis- appointing to those who had looked forward to seeing their names in print. Tausha White- man’s mom had snipped out the articles and saved them ever since Tausha was in ju- nior high.

So they tried to create interest and add l ew twists to learning English certainly wasn’t everyone’s favorite sub- ject, but it was a re- quired course. Writing, gram- mar, literature, mini-lessons, and vocabulary words re- mained a part of the curricu- lum year after year. Parlia- mentary procedure and the minutes added to the daily routine of English classes. There were, however, a few exceptions to the rule; some English classes weren’t mo- notonous. Senior English teacher, Mrs. Ruth Rephan, discovered an interesting way of studying ballads-singing them. Mrs. Ellen Arnone’s juniors chose a different word and then found a way to make the class remember the word. Uday Patnaik and his partner, Brenda Edwards, chose the word “demented.” Patnaik dressed in a purple silk shirt, wore two pairs of glasses one on top of the other, and danced around the room to the song, Love is in Control. Holding debates was com- mon in Mrs. Paula Munson’s classes. After reading the play Our Town, her juniors dis- cussed what they believe hap- pened after death. All high school English stu- dents read Shakespeare’s plays. Freshmen got their in- troduction to Shakespeare when they read A Midsum- mer Night’s Dream. To most of them, it was like nothing they’d read before. Every high school student needed two science credits to graduate. But in junior high, science was required. The backwards “e” was the seventh graders’ introduction to the use of the microscope. Almost every science student used the microscope at some time during the year. Students in seventh, tenth, and twelfth grade science classes dissected frogs. Some kids couldn’t stand the sight of their frogs. Others got a kick out of mutilating theirs. Sev- enth grader Beth Harrison was not looking forward to this experiment. Confused freshmen found it hard to understand Mr. Ken Metz’s grading scale. How could they get an “A” when that was what he expected of them? And why did he give 2500-point tests all the time? Memorizing the properties of the atom, balancing chemi- cal equations, and learning the rules for assigning oxida- tion numbers to compounds, kept Mr. Granville Cannon’s chemistry students busy. Try- ing to remember each type of problem without getting con- fused was tough for students taking his physics classes since they had about ten prob- lems on each test. Math teachers must have done something right because, even though only two math credits were needed to meet graduation requirements, some students signed up for TRYING TO UNDERSTAND their workbook assignment. Eddie Capel and Troy LaRue ask Mr. Cornmesser for help. French students often had trouble trying to decipher the foreign words in yVo5 Amis. math courses every year. Learning the basic algebra formulas, memorizing the laws of exponents, and figur- ing out how to solve word problems, was the object of students taking Algebra I. They also mastered the tech- nique of multiplying polyno- mials by using the “FOIL” method. Mr. Arthur Spataro’s geom- etry students had trouble try- ing to visualize three-dimen- sional spheres and planes. But junior Tom Dudley had little difficulty when asked to draw two parallel planes being in- tersected by a third plane. Other students just didn’t know how to draw three-di- mensional objects on a flat piece of paper. Junior high math teacher, Mr. Edgar Hounshell teased his students to try to make math fun. When asked how he made his classes interesting, Mr. Hounshell replied, “just by being myself.” L foreman CLASSES - 107 New twists to learning spiced up old classes and made students realize that T earning can be fun Seniors taking ad- vanced math and trigonometry from Mr. Otto Ross, found that they did similar types of prob- lems in both classes. Since cal- culus was second period and trig was third, they sometimes got confused. Hearing lectures, taking notes, and memorizing dates, became routine for students taking history, a class that re- quired three credits. Since kids were easily distracted, teachers had to come up with new approaches. In CWP, Mr. Tim Travis’ students had the opportunity to hear guest speakers. Miss Marie Van Deusen, who works at Merrill Lynch, spoke to the class about the New York Stock Exchange. Also, Mary- land State Trooper Richard Alderton, conducted a 2V4 hour seminar for senior girls on personal protection. CWP students additionally received training in CPR. A workshop was held in the cafe- teria for four consecutive Thrusdays after Christmas vacation. History teachers like to agi- tate their students to get dis- cussions started. U.S. and world history teacher, Mr. Gary Davis, was known for provoking his students. Terry Festerman constantly de- fended President Ronald Rea- gan from Mr. Davis’ com- ments. Being able to identify the 50 states and their capitals gave Mr. Gene Morgan’s stu- dents a challenge. But Krista Kerr didn’t think the assign- ment was too difficult. Students could also receive a history credit by taking psy- chology. Mrs. Carole Helmick made her classes interesting by taking field trips and doing experiments in class. On IN HIS 11-5 ART CLASS, sophomore Marty Hugenschmidt practices making Roman letters. Every art student spent some time during the year working on lettering. Thursday, December 2, inter- ested psychology students went to Psych Night at Frost- burg State College for 10 ex- tra credit points. They got to see fortune tellers and mind readers to add to their class discussions. When course election sheets came out, students could choose electives that added variety to their sched- ules. Language students had the chance to actually use their Spanish or French when they went on field trips. Mr. John Cornmesser’s French classes found their language skills useful in Quebec, and Mrs. Kate Holwager’s students spoke Spanish at the Colony VII dinner theatre in the Span- ish section of Washington. Home-ec was another pop- ular elective for senior high students. In the junior high, both girls and boys had to take — L. B««man home-ec for at least one se- mester. Eighth grader Mark Wolodkin thought learning to sew “stinks! They should take it out of the school system. “Add Feathers to the Tur- key” was the theme of Miss Molly Borgman’s bulletin board. Miss Borgman used motivation to encourage her Typing I classes to increase speed and accuracy on one- minute timed-writings. In junior high music, Mrs. Linda Croft had students make up game shows and par- ticipate in other group activi- ties. These were based on facts about composers and styles of music. No matter what class they were in, students at Beall found something to interest them because teachers thought up new techniques for helping students to make the best of their high school edu- cation. 108- CLASSES L B««man TRYING OUT for Ensemble.

CLASSES — 109 When the days seemed to drag, students hoped for a substitute teacher — someone who would break the routine. Students enjoyed the change of face and joked about the chance to W ink the sub The good news spread through the school like wildfire. An unfamil- iar face was at the teacher’s desk. From the moment they heard of the substitute’s pres- ence, the students knew they were in for a change from the normal routine. Kids began plotting against the sub. Plans made, notes compared, they were ready. As the students bounded through the doorway, she gave orders for them to take their correct seats. Little did she know that “correct” was just the word they were waiting to hear. It signaled them to sit in, of course, the wrong seat. While she wrote her name and the assignment on the board, a chain reaction cough- ing spell moved up and down the rows. She didn’t utter a sound. Plan C went into effect at 10:25. Everyone dropped their pens. Still, not one word of re- proach. Suddenly, loud talking er- rupted, a paper airplane shot across the room, and half the class ran to her desk shouting excuses to leave the room. Finally losing her compo- sure, she yelled, “Get in your seats now! You will not get away with this! The next per- son that moves will have his name on this piece of paper that goes to your teacher!” Incidents always seemed to happen when the subs were here. On November 17, sub- stitute teachers filled eight places. “Vandals” in fourth period rearranged Mrs. Ellen Ar- none’s entire classroom. Senior high band members experimented with everyone’s instrument but their own when band director Mr. Frank Munson was absent. Students of all ages used the old trick of pretending they didn’t know they had homework. And when their substitute told them an as- signment had to be finished during class and handed in, kids suddenly didn’t under- stand how to do it. In a junior high science class, some kids turned on the gas. And, having an unsu- specting sub, left it on during lunch. It never failed whenever there was a substitute, even the best class became devilish. But it was nice to have a dif- ferent person sitting at the teacher’s desk. And if the kids didn’t enjoy having subs, then why would they bother wast- ing time coming up with all j these devious schemes? “ CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLORS, Mrs. Linda Smith gathers construction paper to distribute to her junior high art class for a project.

Whether it was in TAG or special ed, patient and willing teachers helped these kids. All they needed was hat extra push A special person. Some- one who was unique, ex- ceptional. Everyone at Beall was special — we all knew that. But some students had certain qualities that could be brought out with some extra atention. They got it Mr. Paul Ger- hard, Mr. William Patterson, and Mrs. Gladys Howsare helped kids in special ed. Mrs. Mabel Wilson and Mrs. Patsy Filsinger ran TAG, a program for gifted and talented stu- dents. Special education students worked at their own pace and got the individual attention they needed. When Mr. Paul Gerhard was asked if his classes worked on any unusual projects, his reply was, “All the materials are used for spe- cial purposes.” Although the classes were small in number, they didn’t lack spirit. The kids burst to demonstrate what they’d learned from the maps, what they’d read in The Voices of El Dorado, and how they’d memorized the 50 states. Said Kenny Wilson, “I like a small class because I like to be able to talk to the teachers without waiting in line.” Taught by all the teachers in the special ed. department was Craig Layton, who had hearing and seeing difficul- ties. In spite of his handicaps, Layton was thrilled with learning and used every chance he got to read with the help of his “machine” in Mrs. Gladys Howsare’s room. Pam Ester Dean, a legally blind teacher, came in two afternoons a week to teach Craig the insights that the two of them shared. “TAG will meet as usual during the homeroom period.” Students in the senior high heard Mr. James Thompson's announcement and wondered what TAG was. Were the ju- nior high kids going crazy and playing chase in the halls? TAG was the name for the gifted and talented program with 18 kids participating. Gina Sween, in the program in elementary school, stayed in it. Other kids were nominated by teachers. John Brode learned the fun- damentals of creating an ani- mated movie.

Some kids didn’t bother taking books home. They didn’t care about grades. But others were always triving for an Now that they had their notebooks, pens, and pencils, students were faced with another problem: where to study. To really con- centrate kids needed a place free from the distractions of the blaring radio, the ringing phone, and the barking dog. Many put up with the annoy- ances for lack of a better place to study, but some students searched for a quiet place where they could really con- centrate. Most students took advan- tage of the libraries in the area. When they needed infor- mation or a special book, kids got the librarians to search through endless shelves of periodicals and resource books. For one week, seventh grad- ers got a break from their reg- ular English classes and went to the library. Librarian Mrs. Mabel Wilson showed them how to use the card catalogue and the Dewey Decimal sys- tem. Ninth graders learned how to use the microfilm, micro- fiche, and Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature. These skills gave students the ability to locate almost any informa- tion. Students most frequently used the libraries at Beall. A few had a regular schedule for going, usually during English class or study hall. Others went before or after school or during homeroom period. For tougher assignments, some students went to Frost- burg State College. Juniors working on their dialect unit for English went to FSC to find the American equivalent for some British words. At the —L Beeman “A” same time, seniors were searching for Anglo-Saxon words to fill in their etymol- ogy charts. The atmosphere in the col- lege library was conducive to study if a student didn’t get lost on one of the five floors or overwhelmed at the size of the card catalog. Many students liked to study in pairs or larger groups the night before a test. They could be found comparing notes with friends, copying each others assignments, or helping one another write comparison contrast essays. Others called friends in a last-minute panic when they realized they didn’t have a definition for the history term “mugwumps” which they needed for the test tomorrow or when they forgot to read the Lord of the Flies which FINDING NOTHING to do during her free period in the junior high library. Danette Spiker searches through the paper for her favorite section. Often, kids went to the library to catch up on the latest news in the morning paper. they had been assigned for two months. Papers covered kitchen tables or den floors as they sorted out their notes usually while munching on chips and gossiping. And there was always the student who liked to be alone without the temptation of talking to friends instead of studying. Free from distur- bances, he sat at his desk in his room — with the door shut. On nice days, some kids could be found studying out- side, soaking up the sun and enjoying the fresh air or es- caping the distractions of younger brothers and sisters. No matter where they pre- ferred to study, or who they studied with, students knew their efforts paid off. WHERE KIDS STUDY 115 On the first day of school, teachers told students what school supplies they would need for the rest of the year. After finishing the first full day, students rushed to Drug Fair for supplies. They were getting organized Kids stampeded every bookstore, drugstore, and department store that sold school supplies. Shelves stacked with note- books, paper, pens, and pencils soon emptied. The school year had begun. Every student needed note- books and many had a tough time choosing the cover pic- ture they would have to look at for the 180-day school year. Smurfs, Shirt Tales, and Strawberry Shortcake were popular in the junior high. In the senior high some stu- dents bought notebooks ad- vertising their favorite col- leges and universities. Since he liked West Virginia, Chuck McCormick bought his note- books at the The Book Ex- change” on his way to a WVU football game. Others didn’t worry what decorated the cov- er. They bought the first thing they picked up and added their own designs. Rather than ripping paper out of their spiral notebooks and running out to buy new ones before the second semes- ter started, kids bought fold- ers and looseleaf notebooks that could be refilled. But stu- dents couldn’t always find the right kind of paper. When Mrs. Lenora Snyder’s eighth graders had to get wide ruled looseleaf paper, all Jennifer Wolfe could find was college ruled. Designer pencils and pens were “in.” Students found it difficult to chose between Pac Man and Space Invaders, and it was tougher to pick when the little hearts and stars came in so many different col- ors. Sophomore Angela Roque decided on Snoopy pencils since he was her favorite com- ic strip character. At Hallmark stores fuzzy pens and pencils came in as- sorted colors and with so many new erasable pens, who could decide? Office supply stores attract- ed students who wanted better writing equipment. Brad Richards shopped at Anken- ey’s on the Cumberland Mall because they had a wide vari- ety of supplies to choose from. But many students wanted to skip the hassels at the pencil rack and bought the same plain yellow pencils and blue pens they’d always had. Erasers were a must to get through classes, and when pencil erasers wore down, kids ran out and bought new eras- ers to fit over the end of the pencil. Erasers came in differ- ent designs too. Uday and Gayatri Patnaik had Gar- fields sitting on top of their pencils. Hardly anyone could write a good copy of a paper without messing up, so everyone need- ed ink erasers. Typing stu- dents learned how to correct their mistakes with typing erasers and some typists pre- ferred to use liquid paper. No one was perfect. SINCE HER calculus notebook started to fall apart. Kris Weslow looks for a new one in Drug Fair over the Christ- mas holidays. Students often bought new notebooks before the second se- mester to replace old. torn ones. Students found that having a dictionary and thesaurus was another necessity for good writing. Every time they had to write an essay, kids were al- ways searching for a new way to say the same old word. Students in the higher math and science classes used cal- culators ranging in price from $12 to $55. They compared to see whose calculator was the smallest and when Amy Friend got a new one for Christmas, she was sure hers had the most trig functions. Typewriters were also big on the list of school supplies. By the time they were juniors, most kids had to type English papers. Whoever the student and whatever the class, school sup- plies made school more inter- esting. Kids tried to be differ- ent and buy unusual things. They tried to out do each oth- er in bizarreness. School sup- plies were necessary and could even be fun. — L B«em«n 116 SCHOOL SUPPLIES _L B««man “MAY I HELP YOU?” Cheryl Craze and Vicki Woods stop by the bookstore in the junior high to buy folders for their typing class.

When three of us from the yearbook staff went down to the vocational school in Creasaptown to take pictures and learn about the school e were impressed Unknown. That’s what the Vocational Technical Center was to the kids who stayed at Beall. All we knew was that a bunch of kids boarded a bus after morning announcements to go to some place to work on machines or in a beauty shop. That was all there was to it. Right? Wrong! Definitely wrong! We didn’t know what to ex- pect when the three of us went down to see what Vo-Tech was really like. But as Pam O’Neal and Missy Lucas gave us the grand tour,” we began to take notice. We never realized the great number of programs the school offered until our feet began aching from walk- ing to all of them. These pro- grams provided actual work experience in addition to aca- demic subjects. Masonry and carpentry’s formats included working on various houses in the area. Along with the construction work, carpentry students had other projects, especially in the holiday season. Eddie Shannon created a wooden replica of a Christmas tree. Electrical maintenance had its own setup of a building’s electrical wiring system right in the workroom. Kevin Neil- son learned how to install a lighting circuit for a bedroom. Auto mechanics and cos- metology had shops opened to the public. The shops charged a minimal price for the ser- vices. Those in the nursing pro- gram practiced on each other in a hospital-like atmosphere to prepare for working in nursing homes or hospitals. Cindy Shriver learned the right procedure for taking doctors’ orders and carrying them out in preparation for the internship which the sen- iors served at Sacred Heart or Memorial Hospitals. In addition to learning about their subject, printing and publishing students print- ed stationary, Vo-Tech’s year- book, Homecoming pro- grams, and five school news- papers, including the Chime. Kathy Hay learned the tech- niques for doing these. Contrary to what many Beall students had thought, we found that the Vo-Tech kids attended academic classes besides their actual programs. Edgar Miller felt that the classes were about the same as Beall’s, and O’Neil explained to us that because of the workload, it was hard to miss even one day of school because they had one week of classes and the next week of clinic. We managed to be there at lunch time when the quiet or- ganization was transformed into halls full of lounging stu- dents. The kids were given time to eat and relax after a morning’s work. The Christmas spirit was alive everywhere we turned. Doors were decorated by each class in hopes of capturing the first place title.

We were overwhelmed by the friendliness of the faculty as they went out of their way to help us. The teachers had such a rapport with their stu- dents; they seemed to be working as a team. Contribut- ing to this environment was Mr. Enordo Arnone, the new principal. Pat Harris said, “He eliminated some of the rules that we could use our own common sense for.” The mystery of the Voca- tional Center to students here faded as Beall students at- tending Vo-Tech devised a communications program with the Chime. Issues of the paper contained an article on Vo-Tech. On May 21, the faculty held a picnic for the entire stu- dent body. It provided a chance for everyone to relax and have fun after nine months of training. It was highlighted by visitors from the Central Office. 118 VO-TECH L Beeman WITH THE HELP Of her teacher.

To the 961 of us it was — doing our own thing, having something to offer, and dreaming for the impossible. For some of us it meant — earning a black belt in karate, winning a blue ribbon in the art show, taking first place in talent assembly, and singing in the girls’ ensemble. To others the deal was — washing your car on a Saturday after- noon, soaping windows after the Halloween parade, decorating the halls for the Homecom- ing contest, and going to junior high dances. It was important when — our class won the spirit stick, the seventh grade beat the eighth in the intramural championship, we sang in all-county chorus, our best friend got a Z-28 and we were the first to get a ride, the student body elected May Queen Crystal Miller and the May Court.

By working together, friendships were made, and the faculty looked out for one another. The welfare committee, formed to show the appreciation, respect, and good wishes of the entire faculty, involved six faculty members. Via the committee, the faculty remembered the retiring, ill, or deceased by sending flowers, cards, or gifts.

They were our administrators. Their presence was conspicious even though they often kept low profiles. Rarely did the students know “who was in charge.” But when they were needed to discipline misbehavers, to counsel those who needed help, or to reinforce teacher policy, they were available. The rest of the faculty got involved in their own ways. Some chaperoned dances, helped with student government, or served as class advisers. This often meant putting in overtime. The faculty volleyball team consisting of Mr. Larry Hopcraft, Mrs. Carole Hel- mick, Mr. Gary Davis, Mr. William Payne, Mrs. Norma Cutter, and Mrs. Jo Hall, gave the girls some pre-game practice. After attending church services, the Hi- Y and Tri-Hi-Y, advised by Mr. Arthur Spataro and Mrs. Darlene Bacon, ate breakfast at McDonalds or Diamonds.

Cafeteria workers were kept busy from the time they arrived to prepare a break- fast of french toast and juice. After a short coffee break, the burners were lit again and a lunch of steak-ums, fries, and corn was under way. Cafeteria Manager Eunice Baker said “students fa- vorites lie between steak-ums and pizza.” Friday, December 17, the staff served 650 pizza lunches. As the last lunch plate was filled, the cooks began the cleaning process — an- other hour. At 2:00 p.m. they completed a full day’s work. Over in the office, everyone took advan- tage of the secretaries, expecting them to be able to answer all questions concerning the whereabouts of the administrators and the run-offs of tests, hand-outs, and odds and ends. Ester Geiger, Susie Scott, and Judy O'Baker filed hundreds of schedule cards, answered the telephone, took messages, and always tried to help. In November Miss Geiger was recog nized by the Allegany County Board oi Education for her 40 years of service. In response to her recognition, the faculty gave her a bouquet of pink roses. Before anyone arrived at school, the janitors were there shoveling the snow from the sidewalks and turning up the heat in the classrooms.

SENIORS UNDER PRESSURE WAITING FOR CHANGE from Mr. Lonnie Nixon. Ricky Rounds and Mike Whetstone wait in line to pay for caps and gowns. Each senior paid $11.00 for his cap and gown. ettin’ things done S.A.T.’s, A.C.T.’s, part-time jobs — these and other critical decisions made every senior edgy. The dreams of college, jobs, and inde- pendence had been just that — a dream. But now it was for real, and parents and teachers urged each student to “shape up.” The choices mind-boggled many twelfth graders. Students could choose early placement or even travel to differ- ent countries as part of the AFS pro- gram. Since most had fulfilled the require- ments for graduation, they could skim through with “Mickey Mouse” courses. The ambitious opted to take more aca- demic classes like Mr. Tim Travis’ C. W.P. Others used the last year to polish up their shorthand or Spanish which had never seemed to fit in their schedules be- fore. Guidance Counselors William Orn- dorff and Norma Nelson interviewed each senior and together they reviewed the permanent record. The pressure was on — “What are you going to do with the rest of your life?” Economy-conscious Vicki Woods de- cided on a four-year physical therapy major rather than a six-year special pro- gram in psychology which would enable her to get in the job market sooner. As the year progressed, pressures in- creased. In June they realized what real pressures were. MEASURING UP. Linda Tyler finds John Hawkins' head size smaller since he was buzzed for Homecom- ing. Seniors were measured for caps and gowns during homeroom period. I CAPS AND GOWNS 131 UNDER PRESSURE___ e real thing One hundred and eighty-three seniors trudged diligently back to the old and blistered building on August 30. The scene, the first day of school, was so familiar and comfortable. But this year differed from all the rest. To some seniors it meant just getting through twelfth grade English, but others stayed up until 1:00 a.m. studying physics, trig, and advanced biology. For many it marked just the begin- ning. Doug Hafer and T.R. Mazer were found dashing out the door at 11:55 to reach Frostburg State College within s E 3 I ASKING FOR PERMISSION to leave the lunch room.

Ke- vin Buckalew, Joe McKenzie, and Carla Race sacrificed their time to the reserves. Each contributed nine weeks of the sum- mer and one weekend a month to acquire the training to complete boot camp. Hours spent studying, completing homework, and aching from training, provided a basis to go on beyond the school in preparations, to visualize what is expected, and to set specific goals. This was the real world. A FAST FINISH.

Seniors wore E.T. hats to emphasize the From outside the school, looking through the window, about the only thing that showed up was a silent, dark hall. But from inside, from the English bookroom, one could see that organized seniors were busy — really busy. On Sunday, November 7, 28 loyals ar- rived to make decorations. Using the E.T. theme set by the cheerleaders, they made signs, posters, and letters. Advisers Mick Cunningham and Ruth Rephan directed the chaos and helped Larry Beal compose the senior spirit song to the theme of Atari. By 8:05 Friday morning, the hall was ready. Five-foot letters towered over un- derclassmen, while miniature paper plate spaceships “flew” overhead. Strobe lights flashed continuously to create an “Extra Terrific” effect. The surprise came with a lighted spaceship made by Darren Diaz, Billy Livingston, and Louis Hall. As the underclassmen streamed through, seniors knew it was a success At 2:25 the entire class, wearing E.T. hats, united to walk into Mountie Stadi- — L Beeman “SENIORS! SENIORS!” repeatedly echoed through the stands as the cheerleaders announced the win- ners of the spirit stick. um. “It’s great to be a Mountie today!” This enthusiastic shout by the high-spir- ited seniors repeatedly interrupted the cheerleaders. Darren Diaz wired the spaceship and flew it over the seventh graders. Unfor- tunately, the wire broke, and the space- ship fell on those below. Waiting as classmates who participat- ed in sports were awarded “trophies” made by the cheerleaders, seniors saved their energy for the spirit contest. Suddenly it was time for the spirit con- test. When Deborah Skidmore held the seniors’ sign, the banging pots and pans and the ringing cowbells roared from the middle section. Then — silence. The cheerleaders quickly decided the winner of the spirit stick was the seniors. As a reward, Valer- ie Crowe, class president, received a box of wrapped Cheer. Seniors were number one again by winning the hall decorating contest. HOMECOMING — 135 G Dorm«r W Having Fun asting time; feeling fine “I’m bored.” “There's nothing to do.” “This town's the pits! Common quotes from Frostburg teens sounded as the weekend came. Every spare minute was spent trying to have a good time in town or in nearby Cumberland and Lonaconing. Tim Fell and Doug Hafer regularly provided the “hangout” for the weekend get-together. Many liked to drop in at Cindv Kim’s house because of her selec- tion of video games. Some seniors joined community orga- nizations to fill their free time. Lynda McKenzie spent her time between work- ing and spending time with her adopt- ed” grandparent at the Frostburg Nurs- ing Home. By joining extra curricular activities, seniors managed to “use up time” after school, before heading home to collapse in front of the T.V. Those who missed dinner usually had to munch out on cold roast beef and potatoes. Angie Ritchie, Shari Davis, and Rae Ann Ritchie piled into Robin Swanson’s car every Saturday to travel to Sherwood Bowling Lanes. From 10 to 12 they “strike” some fun with Angie usually breaking 180. Making money became a necessity for some seniors and helped take up time between school and extra curricular ac- tivities. Cindy Lyons worked shifts at Hardees, while Rhonda Speir worked at the opposite end of town at the Tastee Freeze. Maria Carrington and Jimmy Shertzer raced to meet the 3:30 shift at McDonalds. Making plans and having fun, seniors liked using their spare time to their ful- lest. THE WEDDING PROCESSION, with Rae Ann Rit. chie. Beth Rowe, and Tammy Drees, in the lead, marched solemnly to their places. Mr. Lonnie Nixon was to pose as Maria’s father, but missed the ceremony. WAITING AT THE ALTER.

Mc Mo LOOKING GOOD R Looking Good evin’ it up Despite the high prices of gasoline and cars, forty-three seniors could still be found driving a car to school. Some were able to manuever the family car two days out of the week to bring to school. Yet the “lucky” seniors were gifted with their own cars. Several guys spent their Satur- days checking the carborater, pistons, and shocks for that night's event. To girls, it was all a foreign language. But as long as a car was available, nothing was said. Some “hotrodders” appealed to the sporty look. Steve Martin cruised around town in his brother's EXP. While Steve showed off his defensive driving skills to envious onlookers, Tommy Fram could be found laying half way in the road on Green Street working on his Mustang. Chris Brady faithfully loaned his car to a friend only to find that it had quite a “fenderbender”. Chris's car was in repair for over a month before he was able to endanger the streets of Frostburg again. Putting his car to the test, Tim Fell had a little fun with the first freeze of the winter. Almost greeted by the police, Tim did doughnuts in the teacher's park- ing lot after a junior high dance. Many vehicles were used to transport friends to games, mothers to markets, and fathers to work. Cars were an impor- tant part of the senior life. IN A HURRY to get away from school for the weekend. John Martirano fumbles with his keys before success- fully unlocking the door to his Bronco. Martirano is one of the many seniors who drive to school. BORED WITH WALKING THE HALLS. Ronda Wil- liams. Cindy Kim. and Linda Wilson check out the library before the 8:25 announcements. Looking Good . . uper special effects By watching television, studying mag- azines, and window shopping, the fash- ion-conscious Beall High students kept “in” with the new styles. Designers said the look was from the 1920’s with high collars, leg o-mutton sleeves, and lots of lace. It was a change from faded jeans, decaled T-shirts, and flannel shirts. The styles for pants increased, and dress pants were worn more. Pleated pants brought the baggie look in. Near the ankles, slacks were worn short and could be tied or snapped. Leg warmers, worn over or under jeans, created a colorful change. Black and white became big as part of the tuxedo look. Trimmed with ruffles, lace, or ribbon, the tuxedo bib was im- portant for the look. Lauri Beeman and Joy Workman received outfits for Christmas that showed off the new style. During the week after Christmas vaca- tion, many new clothes were seen. The Pat Benatar look introduced mini skirts, colored tights, and the new “dressy look” sweatshirt. Colors that had never before been thought of as coordi- nating were put together. Bright yellows, purples, reds and fushias added to the new look. Guys were just as concerned with looking good. Sweaters, worn alone or with shirts, along with dress pants and cords were seen more often. A chance to see the guys “decked out” in suits were rare except when the coaches insisted. Shoes are said to make an outfit. The same old standbys such as Nike, Con- verse, and Addias got competition as Ponies were introduced. Patty Rafferty and Vinnie Rhodes wore pumps and bal- lerina shoes in all designs and colors. Boat shoes added a touch of color to a rainy day. Looking good and being noticed was everybodys goal.

For 12 years, they all waited fpr this moment. Yet those years seemed to go all too fast. They remembered those five extra minutes they used to harass the under- classman running to his homeroom, to gossip about a best friends brother or sister, and most of all to show authority. But the last time to stand in the pale green hall took on a different air. Some seniors gazed around, wishing that they could once again be returning to home- rooms at 8:20. Pam Chaney couldn’t believe “it’s time to leave already.” As each senior returned to his assigned seat in homeroom, party planning, Re- serve training, and just being out could be heard being discussed. Then those three chimes echoed over the P.A. sys- tem. '7 pledge alligence to the flag ... Before, hiding behind classmates and trying not to be noticed, some‘seniors were too tired, or just too rushed to get homework done to stand for the flag sa- lute. But suddenly, every seat seemed to be empty. For 183 seniors stood, finally re- alizing their responsibility to the country and her symbol. Mr. James Preskom’s voice sounded over the P.A..” We will follow the assembly schedule today.” “This assembly is now called to order. Today’s assembly is the sports awards. Seniors sat with the anticipated look as their classmates received their awards c for being the outstanding achievers. 1 They remembered the last touchdown for the last football game. Years of hard work and practice brought them to where they ended up the states. “Senior section front to back .. The dismissal was turned over to the new student council president. “Clear everything off your desk ex- cept a piece of paper and ... Anxiety and apprehension attacked the occupants of the rows of desk taking their last exams. Chills raced up spines as the teacher collected the last papers. What's for lunch?” This familiar phrase seemed to interrupt third period class everyday. No more brown bagging or no more buying pizza and tacos. The seniors ate their last lunch where food fights existed and the unwinding took place. The 3:05 bell sounded and the senior stampede begun. Seniors raced out the doors, jumped into cars, knowing never to return. TO TIE THE EASTER assembly together, models Lyn- da McKenzie and Shawn Barmoy served as mistress and master of ceremonies. All seniors knew that there were only 32 school days following the spring break. DURING HOMEROOM, DIANE Cutter breaks from her work to salute the flag. Diane helped Mrs. Baker put up her bulletin board. ■ Rebecca Ryan: Ushers Club I. 2; AFS 2.

Dave Llewellyn and Dave Robertson look through Newsweek, reading an article about education costs. After graudation. some seniors chose to continue schooling while others sought employment. THE DAY OF GRADUATION. Leslie Klink deco- rates the stands with twisted crepe paper. Klink helped Mrs. Ellen Arnone during a free period. A day never went by when we didn’t long for Friday and the end of school. We complained about homework, cafe- teria lunches, and the deteriorating condition of the school. But we still had to admit that leaving kind of scared us. Sure we tried to be brave and said it didn't matter, yet all of our friends and memories were here. August 30, 1982, through May 31, 1983, was the fastest school year for 183 seniors. As Meet-the-Squad slipped by and the school year started, Mr. William Orndorff and Mrs. Norma Nelson jumped us about college admis- sion and financial aid. AS MRS. CYNTHIA MAPFIN directs the chorus class in singing Flying Free, the seniors wait for their diplomas. We always thought about going away to school, tackling a job, or just getting out of this six-year trap. But finalizing this paperwork was another step. The security was gone — no longer could we say, “Next year I'll be back, and I’ll do better!” We were ready to move on. In fact, some of us were just plain sick of school. Most had good memories and we knew about “positive students.” No matter where we planned to spend the rest of our lives or what we planned to do with our careers, the class of ’83 made their senior year a reaily big deal.

Junior High Band was much more than just missing two classes a week. Junior High Band members were given the opportunity to participate in concert band year round instead of only before the con- certs as it was in elementary school. In addition to the group sessions, band members participated in section band two or three times a week. This gave Mr. Frank Munson the chance to correct any problems they may have. This type of one to one assistance proved invaluable to many musicians. Section band also significantly helped those who had never played an instru- ment before. Both the Christmas concert and the Spring Festival proved hectic for many band members. Many suffered from the fear of going on stage. This, how- ever, seemed to disappear once they began to play. After the Junior High Band concert, many members had to hurry to the chorus room behind the stage because they also participated in the Senior High Band. Boys changing jackets and girls looking for music created a state of mass confusion during the short in- termission. Throughout the year. Junior High Band members participated in all the Senior High Band fund-raising proj- ects. For many members, it seemed the effort they put into helping with the fund-raising would never pay off. For their participation, the Band Parents honored the Senior High and Junior High bands by organizing a re- ception following the Christmas con- cert. Cookies, fudge, potato chips, pretzels, and punch were available for all members and their families. This gave band members a chance to talk with their friends and meet their par- ents. A similar reception was also giv- en following the Spring Festival per- formance. Obviously, the bands needed a break once in a while; like any good organi- zation, they needed rewards.

But not for long; his junior sister, Laurie, gave him directions to lead him right to Mr. Metz’s desk. Trade Rice always had trouble with the teachers calling her Terry, her older sister’s name. It wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been though, because most of the teachers who taught Terry had ei- ther moved up to the senior high or left. “Another benefit of having an older sister was that I could ride to school with Sharon on some days,” said Sandra Winner. “I hated waiting in the cold for the bus.” “It’s like my brother Sean doesn't ex- ist in school,” offered Chris Atkinson. “I never see him, except on the bus in the morning.” Although at first they minded being second in line, after a while, they got used to it and learned to appreciate the fact that when they needed help, their big brother or sister would always be there to lend a helping hand. 44 A ren’t you so and so’s little sis- ter?” was the monotonous line heard by many of the seventh graders with older brothers and sisters at Beall. Every new grade they went into, they had to pay the price for being second in line, having to be just as good or better to be recognized. At least they could complain to those older brothers about teachers and have someone to under- stand what they were talking about. A big brother or sister also came in handy when they needed to find a place in the senior high. “It was kind of em- barrassing to be escorted by Shawn, but he didn't seem to mind,” stated Dawn Barmoy. The attendance office was one of the places the little brother or sister had to ask for directions. Chrissy Dormer discovered that find- ing her way around Beall wasn’t as easy as she thought it would be. Chrissy had her sister Ginny draw a map of how to get to the band room. The map was good but Chrissy still couldn’t find it. When Brian Beeman found out that he had to go to Mr. Ken Metz’s room during the first week of school he was ROUNDING THE BEND by the Junior High, Chrissy Dormer and her big sister Ginny. dis- cuss their plans for the Christmas vacation. The Dormers either walk or get a ride from their sister.

But for others, they participated in Mr. Edward Langan's intramurals which took place during the junior high lunch shift. The students didn’t mind giving up their lunch period because they had a chance to play football, basketball, and softball against each other with the all- stars from each sport, receiving a certi- ficate from Mr. Langan. Mr. Langan usually refereed the games, along with one of his students. For the first few weeks, the eighth grade, because of already having intra- murals for one year, got a head start on the seventh grade, who was just getting an introduction to the set-up. This head start proved to be an asset for Home- room 257 as they easily won the eighth grade championship. Then, finally, after waiting to finish its schedule, there was no question about who was the better team. Mrs. Lenora Synder’s Homeroom 257 became the junior high intramural football champions! Proving to be the most outstanding players and making the all-star team for the eighth grade were Mike Turner, John Ralston, and Eric Patterson. For those who participated in the in- tramural program, they undoubtedly would rather take part in the games than eat lunch. WATCHING CLOSELY FOR a three-second vio- lation.

At least that was the feeling of the junior high after seeing the eighth grade hall on Homecoming Day. On November 1, the spirited eighth grade class stayed after school to gather ideas and to decide on a theme for the homecoming Hall Decorating Contest. The students produced many ideas, but the final decision was unanimous. The hit movie of the previous summer became the winning theme for the hall contest. Entering school Friday morning stu- dents found “E.T. Footprints” through- out the hall, and when they followed the SHOWING HER HOMECOMING spirit.

With posters, murals, and E.T. bal- loons covering walls, it was evident that the students planned well ahead and used every available minute to work on the decorations. They had spent most of their time making 3-D art to make the hall “more realistic looking,” with an E.T. Express train at the end of the hall and balloon U.F.O.s hanging from the lockers. The spirit of homecoming was more widespread with over 33% of the class helping to create the winning hall, which was announced at the pep rally. Enthusiasm didn’t stop with the kids though. Advisers Mrs. Linda Croft and Mr. William Byrnes worked with the students from beginning to end, offer- ing suggestions and advice.

The CAP is a group of teenagers, aged 12 and up, interested in persuing a career in the Air Force. For a minimal fee, interested teenagers learned about the Air Force, achieved rank within the patrol, and got flying experience while working toward their flying licenses which became possible when they reached the age of seventeen. Other Beall students have also par- ticipated in the CAP. Danny Biggs, Dean Gaynor, Jim Purbaugh, and Jeff Snyder have been members. Each week, weather permitting, a few mem- bers of the CAP were permitted to go up in the CAP plane for a training mis- sion. Hall has been in the CAP for one year and has earned the rank of airman first class. He has gone flying with his command officer, Captain Donald Schroder and has been permitted to take over the controls. The CAP had many functions be- sides training future Air Force pilots. For example, the CAP participated in rescue operations at the scene of plane crashes. Also, CAP members assisted other rescue personnel. Members did actual serach and rescue work for area services. Currently, the CAP is working on a communications van that will be used in emergency situations. The van will be moved to the location and will relay information to the State Police and Civil Defense. This will keep a constant communication line between the scene of an emergency and proper authori- ties. This summer, members of the CAP will participate in a field trip to an Air Force base. This will give them the chance to see, in person, an Air Force base in operation. This trip will also expose them to military life and assure them that when they do enlist in the Air Force, there will be no major surprises. When Hall is eighteen, he will be able to enlist in the Air Force. Hall will have had four years in the CAP and will have learned much more than what to expect when he joins the Air Force. He also will have learned search and rescue techniques that may be needed should the situation arise. To Hall, “The expe- rience will be invaluable.” 154 FRESHMEN Ad Dr STUDYING FROM his CAP manual.

Best, the overall winner in the contest, portrayed a girl on her first fishing trip with her brother. After colliding into a warden’s boat and hooking him with a wild cast, she finally decided that she wasn’t the best “fisherwoman.” The first contestant, Joe Stevens, couldn’t decide on the name for his soon-to-be-born child. After many pos- sible, but strange, names for both boy and girl, he finally decided Messmor for a boy and Messmorina for a girl. Although the child might be called “Messy,” the trust fund, set up by Uncle Messmor, finally persuaded Stevens to choose this name. The first of two entrants to write her own script, Anna Labor impersonated “Mama”, from the Carol Burnett Show, who needed a ride to the super- market. Mama decided to call Eunice, who, after cutting up her son-in-law and fighting with her daughter over the phone, discovered that it wasn’t such a good idea. Jeff Schlegal, a good ole country boy, tried to discourage some watermelon raiders from stealing in his father’s patch. With a monologue consisting of how careless his “Pa” was with his shot- gun, Schlegal finally convinced them to stay clear. While getting ready to battle a twen- tieth-century automobile, Daniel Biggs closed the show with his portrayal of Captain Kirk, the second self-written script. Biggs found that his phasers, torpedoes, and photons ceased to func- tion. At this point, he called the direc- tor. It was then that he discovered his ATTEMPTING TO GETa ride to the supermar- ket.

The Sunday Night Movie credits were flashing across the TV screen. Time to hit the sack. Yawning, Lisa Mackay got up to go upstairs. Then it dawned on her. She had forgotten to write her Hugh O'Brian application in good copy and it was due the next day. Every year, sophomores fill out forms for the Hugh O'Brian Leadership Seminar. Answering questions like “how does one lead in organizations and how does one contribute to his com- munity?”, proved to be difficult for the tenth graders applying. For Lisa, it was no exception. After working for hours on the three questions on the sheet, Lisa had put her paper aside for recopying later. Realiz- ing she had not done it she spent an- other hour that Sunday night taking a word out here and there to make the essays the right lengths. To top it off, the day it was an- nounced that Lisa had won, she was home sick in bed. If it hadn’t been for Kelly May calling her, she wouldn’t have found out until later. After all this trouble, Mackay went to the Seminar at Baltimore in April and had a great time, which made her realize it was all worth it and she would do it all over again the same way. BEING INSURED that she did win the contest, Lisa Mackay is informed of her winning entry by chairman. Mrs. Ruth Kelly. Mackay then at- tended the Hugh O’Brian Seminar at Baltimore in April.

To be educated in the rules and safety of driving, prospective drivers had to pay $75 for the class, then pay another $20 to get their licenses. It was doubtful they would have enough money to put gas in the family car. The first session of driver’s ed. classes began on Saturday morning, December 3 and ran through Decem- ber, ending in March.

For most beginners the most difficult thing about driving was parallel park- ing and mastering the three-point turn. Others like Matt Ritchie, parallel parked on the first try. “It’s hard to get the hang of turning on the windshield wipers without look- ing at the button, but after a while it was easier,” stated Stephanie Andrews. The drivers practiced driving on the confusing highways around Cumber- land and the bumpy country roads of Midolothian. The town driving wasn’t much of a problem, but the sophomore drivers had to learn how to dodge the potholes on College Avenue and the back parking lot at school. After many days of driving, the stu- dents survived the course becoming “expert drivers” and looked back on how easy it all seemed.

It often meant the ultimate in sacrifices by not going to the pool on game days. After practicing since mid-May, the girls had a chance to show their stuff in a pre-season tournament under the lights at Lions Field. The four rival teams battled it out with Snap-Ons emerging victorious over Midland, and Mt. Savage and Farmer’s Market, fin- ishing third and fourth respectively. Kathy Rankin and Ginny Dormer, players for Snap-Ons, commented, “This win in the tournament was a sparkplug for the season.” The other Frostburg team, Bob’s Farmer’s Market, managed by senior Dave Robertson, was less fortunate in its start. An inexperienced team was plagued by a lack of interest and had a disappointing winless season. “All in all,” said Teresa Livingston, first baseman for Farmer’s Market, “it was a good experience.” The season continued into August with Snap-Ons as the league champs compiling an impressive 18-3 mark. It was the end of a long season. FRONT ROW: Ginny Dormer. Kathy Rankin. Glenna Edwards. Sharon Winner. MaryBeth Hinkle. Gina Sween, Chris Reinsfelder. BACK ROW: Charlene Ruffo, Coach John Diamond.

When the starters pistol sounded, 425 determined runners began their challenge in Mount Savage on June 12. Their destination, the Country Club Mall, was ten miles away. To reach the finish line, the partici- pants had to follow a bike path along Route 36 for six miles until they reached the Narrows. After crossing Route 40 the course began a steady up- hill climb which wore out many run- ners. This allowed the prepared runners to pass those not properly conditioned. The last quarter mile, a steep grade up to the Mall, needed the inspiration which was being blasted over a sound system: The Theme From Rocky. Tad Davis, with a finish of 60 min- utes, 21 seconds, earned 48th place. Joe Winn finished 307th with a time of 84:00, followed closely by Greg Wolod- kin at 84:11 and in 310th place. Finally, Chuck McCormick came in 350th with a time of 89:48. Tom Dudley ran in the three mile “Fun Run” and finished third. Pittsburgher Malcom East won the race, which benefits the Vicki Via Dat- sun Leukemia Fund, in 49:13. The race was certified as the RRCA National Championship Race for Ten Miles. This attracted runners from all over the east coast.

BEFORE THE 8:05 BELL, junior high students discuss their weekend accomplishments. Mon- day morning conversations revealed where some of the most exciting action of the week took place. After cramming until 11:30 Sun- day night, it was impossible to wake up at 6:30 Monday morning and be full of laughs, smiles, and good wish- es. But Mom insisted on stuffing or- ange juice and raisin oatmeal down my throat and reminding me to make sure I didn’t forget my gloves. Of course the truck never started until after the third time, and the gas lank was often empty After pumping $3.00 worth of high-test into the pickup and buying a pack of Ho-Ho’s from Shectz, I made it to the back parking lot and slot five along the bank. On Monday I could never wake up until third period — but then no- body could on the east wing. The heat always made me extra drowsy. It was the only time I longed for the west end. Monday was the pits.

The crowd is tense; some players are losing their cool. Suddenly the referee says, “Time. Please pass your answer sheets and test booklets forward. Then you can leave.” The SAT. The sacrifice of the se- nior year. At 7:45 on Saturday morn- ing, seniors from BHS met at Alle- gany High School to attempt to mas- ter this brain mangier. With number two pencils, positive identification, and their entry tickets, seniors from all over the Tri-plex gathered in the newly-remodeled building. For the next three hours following registration, college-bound students sweated every analogy, reading com- prehension, and math problem. Nancy Wilson said the test “was impossible.” Agreeing with her, Jan- na Lloyd felt, “They must've made up a whole new vocabulary.” It was definitely a do-or-die situa- tion — a college career was depend- ing upon one test score. It didn't seem fair, but it was part of the game. tpct 1 £91 — L. Bmkim BEFORE VENTURING TO BEALL to tackle the PSAT.

These people were members of the Beall High Pep Band. At 7:15 p.m. at every home soc- cer game, dedicated band mem- bers took out their instruments and headed for the stands. Carry- ing the beloved “Cheer Song, the instrumentalists helped to back- up the cheerleaders and add ex- citement to the crowd. They did encounter some prob- lems when Drum Major Kelly May could not start the song with her whistle because it interfered with the referees. Spirits were also dampened on the first performance because it rained. Everybody found shelter underneath the bleachers so their music and instruments wouldn't get ruined. Even though things didn’t al- ways go smoothly, they had a lot of fun. The members sang Christ- mas carols in September and re- ceived free pizza and coke at the end of their first game. The pep band was a small por- tion of the crowd, but they show ed what the band was made out of — enthusiasm. AFTER A GOAL against Valley, the pep band fills the stadium with the familiar sound of the “Cheer Song”. The pep band provided support and enthusiasm not only after goals, but a small concert was given during halftime and often a song would ring out during the game.

For sophomore Laura Trichel being part of the council meant playing an active role in in- creasing the public awareness about youth issues and concerns in Mary- land. “I read about the Governor's Youth Advisory Council in the paper and went to the La Vale Library for an in- terview. I knew it was going to be difficult to get selected since only 100 youths, called delegates, were picked statewide. When 1 got my letter from Gover- nor Hughes, I was surprised, but hap- py. Our first meeting was just an ori- entation and registration held in the Joint Hearing Room in Annapolis on August 28. There were also committee meet- ings, and at first I was very confused. I was part of the Networking and Community Resources Committee. We coordinated the activities of the Council with other councils in the state. Our other job was planning and organizing the Maryland Youth Day held on January 29 in Annapolis.” During Youth Day, the Council demonstrated legislative processes and gave tours, explaining the proce- dures of Council members and other youth groups. A good bit of debating went on be- tween the Networking Committee and the Public Relation Committee about whether tours should be includ- ed with the workshop. The workshops consisted of various speakers who talked about substance abuse, group leadership, lobbying, and model legis- lation. At the Fall Statewide in October, the group reviewed the proposed planks (sections) of the 1982-83 Plat- form. The platform was a statement reflecting the views of the Council which was sent to the state legislature and other parties. During the Winter Statewide held in Columbia, the Youth Issue Plat- form under went amending the ratification. The spring meeting was held at the Sheraton in Ocean City. Trichel remembered her duty as “a good experience meeting people and taking part in the planning of youth activities on the state level.” Reviewing a plank for an amendment to the platform.

First Team members Ke- vin Kutler and Bob Stevenson were named to the team as line- men while Dave Unnone was named as a fullback and Chris McLuckie, a halfback, Eric Dean, a goalie, Rick Eberly, a halfback, and Chris Brady, a lineman, were named to the second team. The group of all-stars were chosen at a meeting of the coaches in early December. Each of the coaches nominated as many of the players from his team as he wanted. The coaches chose the best ones. Even though the team was not honored at a dinner, they were very proud to have been chosen to this group of all-stars. Out of the twenty-four mem- bers chosen, Beall had seven, which was second among the teams in Class-C. Flintstone, the Region's state tournament representative, had nine stars to top the list.

More than 50 years ago, the founders of Celanese set out to build a new business on a new product line, cellulose acetate yarns and fibers. The idea was a good one. Today, it’s natural for those of us in the Celanese organization to claim some of the responsibility for success. But, as a matter of fact, the most constant factor through the years has been the public. In the early days, Celanese earned and won the confidence of the public. That confidence in Celanese products continues to be our most valuable asset. AMCELLE CELANESE FIBERS COMPANY ADS - 209 IN TRIBUTE to the miners of Western Maryland, the 123-foot public art por- ject Prospect V-lll stands on the hill, overlooking Frostburg State College.

At Home, In the Nation It was a year of unemploy- ment, poverty, and political unrest, but the year also brought new break-throughs, advancements, and lighter movements. By November, 12 million workers were without jobs as continued layoffs in the auto, steel, and machine-tool indus- tries pushed unemployment to a postwar high of 10.8 per- cent. Across the nation hun- dreds of stores posted Going Out of Business” signs, and many big companies such as Braniff International fell to bankruptcy. Even the Social Security system was in trou- ble, and was forced to borrow money for the first time. Plagued by 14.3 percent un- employment in Allegany County, many felt the pres- sure of the economic dilemma as Stroheman’s Bakery shut down, and the Kelly Spring- field and Pittsburgh Plate Glass companies furloughed several hundred people. King’s Department Store went out of business, and the Sears move to the Country Club Mall blighted the Sear- stown Shopping Center. Budget cuts by Ronald Rea- gan sliced school lunch appro- priations by 457 million dol- lars, and food stamps were taken from one million people. In the President’s State of the Union speech, he said that a cure for the dozen digit deficit was a “freeze” on overall gov- ernmental spending. The “freeze” was uneven: it in- creased defense spending by 9% and decreased civilian spending by 3%. War rocked the world. In Lebanon the Israeli and Pa- lesting Liberation Organiza- tion forces battled, resulting in high civilian casualities, refugees, and destruction. The PLO withdrew from the dev- astated captial of Beriut to seek another base in the Arab World. A peace-keeping force team of U.S. Marines aided in the PLO evacuation and then remained to keep order. The vengeful massacre of Pales- tines by Lebanese Christian Phalangists threw mud over the Israeli victory and moral claims. Along the coast of Argenti- na, Great Britain fought to re- take their colony, the Falkland Islands. The incident was touched off by a band of Ar- gentine merchants who plant- ed their flag on the island of South Georgia. The confron- tation esculated into a major battle on land, sea, and air. Seventy-four days later the British flag was restored, and 250 Britons and 712 Argen- tines lay dead. In Russia, 75 year-old Leo- nid Brezhnev died of heart failure and his successor Yuri Andropov presided over the U.S.S.R.’s faltering economy and deteriorating situation in Afganistan. The Solidarity struggle in Poland eased slightly with the freeing of Solidarity leader Lech Walesa after his lengthy imprison- ment. Buckingham Palace an- nounced that Princess Di and Prince Charles had presented their son Prince William to the world, and film beauty and storybook princess of Monaco Gracy Kelly died in a fatal auto crash. Back in Washington, the controversial, belated Viet- nam Memorial was erected in the capitol. Etched in the black granite were the names of 57,939 American dead. George Shultz replaced Alexander Haig as the Secre- tary of State, and Congress delayed the beginning of the MX-missle program, cheering momentarily the world-wide anti-nuclear movement. In the South the state of Mississippi and Louisiana were declared disaster areas after extensive flooding of the Mississippi River, and the storm from the Gulf of Alaska struck the California coast, w iping out beaches, chunks of highways, and homes. Cynide-laced Tylenol cap- sules killed seven people in a bizarre unsolved murder, and the Independent Truckers strike forced non-striking teamsters to fear for their lives after one trucker was shot by a sniper and others re- ceived injuries from rocks and debris. The age of high technology promised the future with tne computer being selected as Time's Man of the Year. Video games entered more homes and businesses, reaping huge profits. An estimated three million personal computers were sold for use in the home and classroom. The Columbia shuttle launched its first satellite into earth’s orbit, and Utah doc- tors implanted the first per- manent artificial heart into Barney Clark. At home, new walk lights were posted in the downtown Frostburg area upon the insis- 210 — NEWS — L Bwman THREE IS NOT a crowd to Missy Robi- son. Robin Nicol. and Joy Workman.

The Lion’s Club posted a sign along Route 48 which stated “Welcome to Friendly Frost- burg” and many citizens came out to donate blood in the name of John Charles Durst. In Annapolis, John Bamba- cus of Frostburg occupied one of the Maryland Senatorial seats and H. William Mitchell replaced Dr. Wayne Hill as Allegany School Superinten- dent. The nation fell in love with the bug-eyed alien E.T. and “E.T. phone home” became the overworked phrase of the year. The film broke box office records and everything from shoelaces to Atari cartridges bore the E.T. emblem. Movie-goers were shocked at the death of Animal House star John Belushi but were happy to see Richard Pryor return to the screen after his near-fatal burns. ABC’s 40 million dollar mini-series Winds of War kept many glued to the T.V. for the entirity of its length—18 hours. And the last episode of M A S H aired February 28. In sports, the Washington Redskins capped off a terrific season by beating the Miami Dolphins 27-17 in Super Bowl XVII. John Riggins, the “Die- sel,” rambled through Dol- phin defenders behind the Hogs,” the Skins’ front line, for a Super Bowl record, 166 yards on 38 carries. The big run for Riggins occurred early in the fourth quarter on fourth down and one. He went off- tackle, then broke outside. From then on it was clear sail- ing. Forty-three yards. Touch- down. Earlier in the football sea- son, the players called for an all-out strike after just two weeks. Eight weeks later the strike ended and the players returned to the field. The fans were the losers when it came to the walkout. While leading the Wash- ington Redskins to their first World Championship, Joe Theismann was also named Man of the Year. The news of retired Ala- bama coach Paul “Bear” Bry- ant dying shocked the entire sportsworld. Just a few weeks prior, he had announced his retirement after coaching for some 38 years at four different universities. He had a record 323 wins. Besides Bryant’s death, two other sports fatalities hit box- ers Duk Koo Kim and Salva- dor Sanchez. Kim died after Champion Ray “Boom, Boom” Mancini landed a solid blow to his forehead. Sanchez, a veteran of the ring, died in a fatal auto crash over the sum- mer. For the St. Louis Cardinals of the National League, the year had a fabulous ending. They defeated the American League Champion, Milwau- kee Brewers, in seven games with Darrell Porter moving into the limelight as World Series MVP. The baseball season will be without superstar slugger Willie Stargell of the Pitts- burgh who retired following the ’82 campaign. Heavyweight boxing cham- pion Larry Holmes retained his title by KO’ing Gerry Cooney in the thirteenth round and crushing Randall “Tex” Cobb in a lopsided 15- round unanimous decision. Sugar Ray Leonard stepped down from boxing after re- ceiving an injury to his eye. In the hockey scene, the New York Islanders won their third consecutive Stanley Cup. Twenty year-old pnenom, Wayne Gretzky, shattered all the scoring re- cords in just his second year in the NHL. The tennis circuit lost a great player. Bjorn Borg, who took a one-year layoff. Jimmy Connors took care of John McEnroe at Wimbledon on July 4. It was the first time Connors had won there since 1974. The Los Angeles Lakers captured the NBA Champi- onship by beating the Phila- delphia 76ers in six games with Earvin “Magic” Johnson as the playoff MVP. On February 11, 1983, school was cancelled due to the first blizzard of the year. The snow continued falling throughout the day and late into the night accumulating some 30 inches. The weather immobilized the town, closing businesses, burying cars, and stranding motorists. A road- block on Vocke Road headed motorists toward Cumberland for vacant rooms. .Capturing the title for Best Picture at the annual Acade- my Awards was Ghandi with Ben Kingsley as Best Actor. As the year closed, each of us had moments and events that touched us personally.

Krista Kerr takes a breather backstage. Kerr, along with Dawn Barmoy. Shannon Ralston, and Amy Shupe dressed as clowns who were toys on Santa's Christmas list. FOLLOWING THE HOMECOMING dance, stu- dents on the clean-up committee stay late to help throw away trash, clean up tables, and arrange the cafeteria back to normal. The dance was the most successful in years with 190 students attending. IN THE SACK. Senior Linda Tyler leaps for the finish line In the potato sack race. During the sum- mer. Tyler served as a Day Camp counselor at Frost Elementary School. — L Bfenwn The snow melted and spring fever hit everyone. It was hard to concen- trate on problems and to read Shake- speare’s Romeo and Juliet. More than ever we wanted to get out for the sum- mer. But inside we looked back and knew we would miss sitting at our perma- nent cafeteria seats, seeing our friends, and talking to our teachers. Friends meant a lot. They were the ones who advised and supported us. With them we could relax and have a good time. They put up with our bad moods and listened to our latest prob- lems. It was our friends who took us to McDonalds when we felt down and fixed us up with dates. Together we pigged out at Pizza Hut and screamed at the Friday night game. Despite the faults and bad hab- its, friends cared. Without them we wouldn’t have passed advanced math or gotten a ride to bowling. Each of us was different with differ- ent plans, ideas, and hopes. But we were united. We knew it as we yelled at the pep rally, cheered for the wrestlers at the state tournament, and listened to Mr. James Thompson on the PA. We were the Big Deal. 220 CLOSING CLOSING 222 — CLOSING E MADE COUNT For the last week of school, we sat around playing cards or helping the teachers do their spring cleaning. The books were piled neatly in the bookroom with construction paper tacked over the shelves. The typewrit- ers on the fourth floor room were per- manently covered for the long vaca- tion, and the bulletin boards in the main hall were bare. It was the end of another year. Some jf us got jobs for the break; others just took it easy. No matter what we did, we knew it was another year closer to growing up. The thought of leaving scared us. Things around Frostburg were easy. Mom always took care of us, but we still griped about washing the dishes and babysitting our younger brothers. We knew everybody, and they knew us. It was hard to let go. Some of us knew we would be coming back. Oth- ers had already sent in their college applications or enlisted in the armed services. As we sat on the beach at Rocky Gap after the last day of school, we laughed and joked with our friends. We liked it here. It was our place. — L. Bosnian PASSING THE WORD ON. Brian Edwards whispers a joke to Lemar Hall. These two became a comedy act during most of their classes. — L Baeman LOSING THE HANDLE on the ball. Mr. William Payne stretches to retrieve a wild pass during the annual faculty basketball game. Payne, along with several other male teachers on the faculty, dressed as women because of the shortage of female partici- pants. YUKKYI Ray Schurg repaints the dull brown shelves as to earn extra credit points from Mrs. Susan Baker. CLOSING 223 BIG DEAL became our expression for “Wow, that’s great,” or for “Hey, I don’t care.” Anything we felt, BIG DEAL fit. Not only did we get this message across through the 1983 edition, but we also got the BEST DEAL around. we were the BIG deal - W Payn GETTING TO KNOW YOU. Faculty members mingle at the first social of the year, a buffet held at the Elks. The committee, headed by Betty Ann Hanna and Wil- liam Payne, showed home movies taken at a previous party.
