Seniors took responsibility for the prank which reflected the attitude of the com- munity. After waiting 10 years for the renova- tion to start, students ignored another promise until early in May when the plans were put into action HELPING TO MOVE SUPPLIES from the old building. Benny Preston carries literature books to the new Senior High. Many teachers used the last few days of school to pack their equipment either to be stored at Frost or to be moved to another teaching station. Plans set in motion First they moved two grades out. Then they stuffed four into where the two had been. Modules, expected during the sum- mer, didn’t arrive until late October, and four math classes temporarily met in the old building. Teachers coped with students in the field house, in the cafeteria, and in Mr. Wade Morral’s “tun- nel.” When Cindy McFarland led the pledge of allegiance on the first day of school, it was instant replay — three times. No one knew for sure if the P.A. was car- rying into the new wing. Open space disappeared at the Eckhart site when Mr. Ed Twigg and his crew used old doors to partition the rooms. A greenhouse became an industrial arts classroom, attendance offi- cers read the absentees over the P.A. system, and seventh period ended 10 minutes earlier. Plans were no longer on paper; they had finally gone into action. |pening IN THE MIDDLE of a shorthand “speed- take.” Amy Williams and Donna Cutter keep up with Mrs. Darlene Bacon’s dictation.

Then principal, Mr. Joseph Pellerzi, started a file titled Renovation, Beall High School. Ten years later Principal James Preaskorn pulled the same file, now thickened with memos, bulletins, and directives, from his cabinet. In the interim, Frost- burgers patiently waited for Allegany’s renovation, Flintstone’s remodeling, and Beall Elementary’s new building. Finally it came. Word from the IAC was that “yes”, remodeling would proceed. Again, another delay: the Board of Education wanted to burn coal. In 1979 the IAC gave their final approval but with the stipulation of a gas back-up system. Meanwhile the 44 year-old building slowly deteriorated. After nearly a decade, in June of 1984, students and staff vacated the old building. The shuffling made renovation closer. Finally in November, heavy construction equipment moved onto the parking lot. All systems were go. BEFORE UNLOADING the U-Haul. work- crs pull down the ramp so they could move the bigger things.

But some things just weren’t the same. Senior high students pushed and shoved their way to their lockers. Couples had a hard time finding places to be alone. Parents took turns picking up eighth grade band members to bring them to the main site. Mem- bers couldn’t leave their coats in the band room all day as they had in the past be- cause the band room had also become the chorus room. On days of pep rallies, junior high students had to be bussed to the stadium. Since the auditorium was part of the reconstruction, students faced a year with possibly no assemblies. Teachers and students at Eckhart were hap- py. On days when the temperature hit 90° and students suffered through the heat, Eckhart students complained that the air conditioning was too cold. Mr. Edgar Hounshell shared his enthusiasm for the new arrangement. “These kids are beautiful. You walk into the classroom and they just dare you to teach them.” LISTENING TO CAMP MUSIC, the nag squad decides the routine for their first perfor- mance. The girls attended the Fred J. Miller clinic in the summer, where each member won a ribbon in the nightly competition. The group earned honorable mention for their creative routine.

Finally, 83 days to relax, soak in the sun, and sleep until noon. As summer got underway, the smells of cut grass, bar- becued chicken, and straying shunks filled the air. To get a head start on their tans, students swarmed to Rocky Gap, Dan’s Moun- tain, or Frostburg’s pool. Lucky Eric Patterson, Eva Davis, and Danielle Miller just opened their back doors to step into family pools in their own backyards.

Freshman Rachel Grady gave her pocketbook a rest when she won two free tickets from GO 106. But as the end of August neared and fireflies lit the evening sky, students real- ized that summer was gone and it was time to get down to business.

O • U • R Spirit very day this sum- mer, 16 females had, together and separately, jumped, screamed, and con- torted, practicing for their first per- formance in front of the total student body. They had been planning the pep rally for a long time. At exactly 1:50, five buses pulled up in front of “Eck- hart Tech,” so as to transport seventh and eighth graders up Route 40. As they entered the stadium, eyes widened and mouths chattered as the aiting for the final announce- ment. Diane Kenney hopes the seniors will win the spirit stick. Many students used shakers and megaphones to show their spirit. upperclassmen hawked the younger students and the younger ones awed their counterparts. The program started with the traditional spirit contest between the classes. When the grades were called, con- fetti and screams filled the air. The results, postponed until the end, kept everyone attentive. Coaches Ritchie, Morgan, Payne, and Langan gave their usual pep talks. The crowd roared when Coach Ritchie recounted the verbal confrontations with the 1983 Mt. Savage players. Cheerleaders chanted, Where’s the beef?” and ex- cept for the juniors and se- niors who were vying for the spirit stick, the student body sat passively in the bleach ers. “It makes me wonder why I get so excited when no om else seems to care,” com- plained Stephanie Andrews, Near the conclusion of the pep rally, it was announced that the seniors had won the spirit stick. After five years of sitting quietly during the contest, they had finally come out of their shell and showed that they could yell At 3:00 buses lined the loop, and Mr. Thompson dis missed by grades.

F Y 12 Three hundred fif- ty years. That’s a long time. And that's what all Marylanders celebrated in 1984. Three and a half centuries ago, 140 religious refugees set sail from England via the Ark and Dove. After nearly four months at sea, Leonard Calvert, son of the first Lord Baltimore, anchored at St. Clements Island. Birthday celebrations took place across the state, beginning with the re-enact- ment of the first landing. A full-scale replica of the Dove, carrying actors dressed in 17th century cos- tumes, passed up the Poto- mac to St. Mary’s City, the colony’s first capital. Summer found British royalty, the duke and duch- ess of Kent, visiting the state. And Allegany Countians left the mountains to discover the shops at the Inner Har- bor, the beaches at Ocean City and Fenwick, and the tobacco fields of Southern Maryland. There were homemade jams and jellies in the pantry, fresh crabs from the Chesa- peake, and com on the cob from backyard gardens. Mr. Gene Morgan’s stu- dents carried their apprecia- tion into the classroom. Post- ers. political maps, famous people, and state symbols covered the walls. Students built models of George Washington’s Headquarters, Fort Necessity, and the Bat- tle of Antietam. Jason Williams engraved a map of Maryland on wood and made it a puzzle. “It couldn’t be bought in a store,” was Mr. Morgan’s comment. To celebrate the construc- tion of the C O Canal, Joey Coburn modeled a canal boat, and Paul Thompson built a replica of a canal lock. 1984 was a time of re- newed appreciation for a state known as America in Miniature. From the rugged mountains of Big Savage to the sandy shores of the At- lantic Ocean, billboards and television commercials en- couraged all citizens to “Capture a Maryland Mem- ory.” The brave souls of 1634 carved out a small corner in this country, that even today, 350 years later, exemplifies their purpose.

For Christmas that year, Santa brought John a 30-30 Remington. The junior, who has not yet gotten a deer, has brought home rabbits and squirrels. “Hunting is a time to get out in the woods and see different things. Once I saw a deer out of the corner of my eye. I got really ner- vous.” John admitted to shaking so much that he couldn’t make the kill. I Xelping her ihree-year-old cousin Kristen Finzel ride her Big Wheel, Stephanie Cutter gives her a push.

She owns five horses: two thoroughbreds, a Morgan, a Pinto, and a Welsh pony. Cathy showed from spring to early fall. “My worst ex- perience was when, at nine years old, I was asked to ride someone else’s horse in a show.

And al- though it was the same old things before school and after school, the day was entirely different. Because of the moves to Eckhart and to the new wing, the first day was more hectic than ever. Returning to for- mer homerooms was elimi- nated with the renovation beginning. Instead, classes met in the cafeteria and gyms and then were escorted to their new homerooms. Once in homerooms, stu- dents at the Beall location found they wouldn’t get lock- ers right away. For the first week, students carried books, practice clothes, and notebooks to every class. Se- nior Lisa Mackay “couldn’t wait until I got a backpack!” Adjusting to the smaller buildings was a problem faced by teachers too. Mr. Harry Countryman reacted to the switch of the atten- dance office to a fuse closet with the remark, “If I get mad, all I have to do is shut down the power for the rest of the school day.” Other teachers were in- convenienced by having to share their classrooms. Mrs. Cynthia Mappin and Mr. Frank Munson shared their room for band and chorus. Messrs. Gary Davis, Larry Hopcraft, and Lonnie Nixon held history in the cafeteria. At the close of the first full day, Mr. James Thompson remedied a minor cafeteria problem. He asked the student body not to move chairs in the cafeteria be- cause they were actually moving classrooms. In spite of the many changes, enthusiasm never waned. Students accepted the problems of the unusual circumstances and got down to work. lArhat next? 16 L Brown L Brown .fter eating lunch on the first shift, seniors Greg Taylor.

Just a normal weekend break from school. Time to cram in the last days of summer. Seventy band students climbed aboard three buses and headed for West Virgin- ia University. From the start they knew that this Saturday was anything but normal. Before the buses even got out of Frostburg, they made an emergency stop. Senior Michelle Duncan had for- gotten her clarinet. A short investigation discovered the instrument under the seat. Arriving at the campus at 8:00 a.m., the musicians looked forward to exploring the campus grounds. The band quickly learned Rule 1: no one was to leave the stadium until after the performance. Rule 2: Ev- erything belonging to the band had to be taken with them to the stadium. Mem- bers could leave nothing on the bus. Band Day officials, having previously told the flag squad and majorettes they would learn routines at WVU, quickly threw the girls for a loop when they in- formed Captain Kathy Kerr that they must prepare their own routines. Luckily, the routine Say, Say, Say, also fit the music, Far from Over. After the final practice, members scurried to the bleachers to retrieve their uniforms. An excited Sean White had brought the wrong uniform, so he sat in the stands to watch his team- mates perform. Senior Lori Brown summed up the day. “In spite of all the problems and has- sles, the overall band perfor- mance was great.” M arking down two points, senior Randi Swanson keeps the varsity bas- ketball statistics.

But then that sudden urge to be helpful and considerate called you back to reality and the job at hand. Whether cleaning dirty tennis shoes, babysitting squawking kids, sweeping the porch, or changing a flat tire, you had part-time jobs. And most of them were non- paying. With two younger broth- ers, Kelly and Karen Manley had to help their mother, “No, we didn’t get paid,” said Kelly. “But 1 didn’t mind. It’s part of being a family.” Office aide Ruth Johnson helped Mr. Harry Country- man by managing the atten- dance office during her study hall. Patty Ketterman, li- brary aide, worked for Mrs. Phyliss Ganyu. Patty’s job was to return books to the shelves. Giving up Saturdays and other free time didn’t bother junior Debbie Schulten and sophomore Stephany Whor- ten. Both were candy-strip- ers at Sacred Heart Hospi- tal. Although most jobs were non-paying, some teens worked for salaries. Seniors Bob Brode and Stephanie Cutter worked part-time at McDonalds in La Vale. Holding a job was an extra load for Vo-Techers Randy Cutter and John Layton. Randy left school at noon during his academic week to work at Davis’s Supermar- ket. John helped Marshal Ruby at welding. In spite of the added re- sponsibilities, students were willing to give up their free time to help someone else. 1 aking an order, Darrin Winner checks lo sec the final price.

It took Brian and class- mate Matt Ritchey all day to get the building in shape. At 2:00 students from Eckhart arrived by bus. Ju- nior high participants Sonya Metz and Becky Hyde, ner- vous before the entire stu- dent body, sang The Impos- sible Dream. Two gymnastic acts cart- wheeled across the stage.

That’s the team we lould have been cheering on.” Cheerleaders did their best to motivate an apathetic stu- dent body. They tried to orga- nize the days to dress up, but besides the cheerleaders, only six or seven others dressed up during the week. And to top it all off, the Belles had their own dress code. Election Day also broke the week. The student body only had four days to partici- pate in activities. At the pep rally, prizes were given to the best dressed for each day. Lori Brown won for Monday’s Pajama Day, and Michelle Duncan won for Wednesday’s Bum Day. Thursday’s Spartan Nerd Day went to Greg Wolodkin and David Cotton for their appearances as Spartan cheerleaders. And Friday’s Blue and Gold Day went to Wendy Livingston. The high school and the ju- nior high were also torn by the dressing up business. Ju- nior high students at the low- er campus were not allowed to dress up. People who did were sent home to change. At the pep rally the seniors were the only ones who had a chance at winning the spirit stick. The seventh and eighth grade just didn’t do it; the ninth and tenth graders didn’t care; and the juniors, in pro- test, refused except for a mi- nority of three or four people. So only the seniors were in competition for the spirit stick. Soccer play-offs caused the bonfire cancellation. No one cared. The “perfect” ending to a terrible season was rain. From the second quarter on, it poured. And in spite of a muddy and slippery field, the team fought to a 7-0 first half, be- fore giving up two more touchdowns and then scoring one.

For the many stu- dents involved in Homecoming fes- tivities, the pa- rade and Friday night halftime show added to the excite- ment. The annual parade, held alternately in Frostburg and Cumberland, drew re- cord crowds, despite the wind and low temperatures. The Homecoming Court bundled up in their tradition- al robes and mufflers while the band members wore sev- eral pairs of socks and “long johns” to keep out the cold. The drill team and major- ettes, on the other hand, suf- fered. To make matters worse, upon completing the course, the twirlers and Belles were informed by ad- visers Frank Munson and Judy Conrad that they had to stay and watch the other participants. Two days later the weath- er for the Beall-Bishop Walsh clash was even cold From the second quarter i til the fourth it rained. Spectators brought u brellas and cheerleadt wore raincoats.

Skidmore that you’ll never believe Understaffed and overworked but making the best of it was the feeling of every yearbook staffer as they pushed to meet deadlines and tried to produce the best book ever. In August, four journalists traveled to WVU for four days of advanced yearbook study. When the girls came back, the staff discovered TA hat next? 30 their theme had changed. Limited experience affect- ed the staff. Veterans tried to break in the new trainees as quickly as possible. Fifty-five pages due each month forced everyone to give up lunch, study halls, and assemblies to ensure the book’s delivery. Staffers even found themselves staying after school as late as 9:00 p.m. to meet a deadline. “I’m so tired of hearing about the honor society copy,” Kathy Kerr told Joe Stevens. “You talked about that for three weeks.” To relieve pressure, year- book students took a break as they celebrated birthdays. Each student took turns bringing in snacks. A jingle party and the year-end ban- quet helped staffers enjoy each other more. In March adviser Ellen Ar- none took 14 students to the CSPA Convention and helped train other staffs from around the country.

Before and after school someone was always working on the paper. Be- cause of the many extra-cur- ricular activities of the staff, time was a problem. Some members were in- volved in sports or other clubs, limiting their time available for newspaper work. Matt Troutman worked after soccer practice which usually lasted until 6:00 p.m. Stephanie An- drews juggled cheerleading practices and games to still have time to produce lay- outs. Although pressed for time, the staff managed to meet deadlines. Sir Speedy and Vo-Tech added the need- ed help to get the paper out on time. Chime raised money by selling everything from sub- scriptions to beach towels. Ads, homecoming mums and garters, and Easter candy were among some of the things the journalists used as fund raisers. Chime would be a lot bet- ter if the students didn’t have to concentrate on selling things to help keep the paper coming out,” said senior Dennis McKenize. Dedicated staffers fin- ished one edition over the weekend when their adviser, Mrs. Paula Munson, was out of town. Eight pages of copy and 50 half-tones were pasted-up and ready to go to Vo-Tech and be printed on Monday morning when she got back. “I respect how hard they try to meet obligations,” said Mrs. Munson. “They’re will- ing to help each other when someone is in a time crunch.” Even the lack of time couldn’t affect the staff. With Medalist honors and two All-Columbian awards, the Chime proved they could handle it.

Finally after weeks of staying after school to make decorations, the day for the dance arrived. Decorators spent two hours on Saturday hanging up posters and cov- ering tables.

Whether we cruised “up street” or just hung out at McDonalds after games, we were always busy. The world’s largest hot dog, as recognized by the Guiness Book of World Re- cords, was made here. DiNi- cola and Sons’ Meat Market created the 300 foot specta- cle. A new Sherwin Williams moved on between Drug Fair and First Federal. Also add- ing to Frostburg were a 7- Eleven and a 4-Star Pizza. U.S. Post Office on Main Street got a new look by get- ting a new addition. The community supported our school by coming to sports activities, contribut- ing to fund raisers, and watching the entertainment produced by the Belles and the band. Jazz ensemble played at the Mall, Maple- hurst, and the Lane center. Churches in the area held events involving the commu- nity, St. Michaels held bingo in the Fellowship Hall, and the Frostburg, Methodist Youth Choir sang at the Anita Lynn Home in Ha- gerstown. We were a college town. Students scoured Frostburg State’s library, attending their theater productions, and visiting the Roper Art Gallery. And, of course, the high school basketball team used their gym. Wind chill factor on Sav- age Mountain made things difficult for winter. People were advised not to go out unless it was absolutely nec- essary. Schools closed and events were postponed, caus- ing families to stay home and do things together. Although there were some changes, Frostburg stayed much the same. Frostburgers cared about others. They supported the Vickie Via Dotsun Lukemia Foundation, volunteered for Meals-o-Wheels, and met the Bloodmobile every three months. rhat next? 42 Jear lunch time, police officer George Kroll puts a parking violation on a car for an expired meter.

She stayed at our house for 10 months. In this 10 months we became good friends and we had a good relationship. In 1982 we decided to spend the summer in the U.S. A. to visit Alissa and her family. So we met the whole family and we had a good time. Before we left we decided that we could exchange kids in two years. So last year, ’84,1 came to the U.S. A. and Adrianne went to Germany to stay with my family. I was a little bit excited the weeks before I came here. I was looking for a good time and to learn a lot of English. I didn’t really know how long a year is. The day I left I was really excited but I didn’t really know what this day meant. After I said “Good bye” to my family and to my friends, I went into the plane and after a boring flight of eight hours I was in America. I was picked up by the Deuels at the airport, and by this time, I was very happy. After I was here for a week I was excited and a lit- tle afraid to go to school, be- cause everything was new and I couldn’t speak the lan- guage too well. After a little while, I felt much more com- fortable and I started to make some friends and friends are what you really need when you are so far away from home.

Swanson For the last few years rela- tionships had been cool if not strained, between the Beall High Belles and the Alle- gany High Arrowettes. The competition between the two groups often incurred jealou- sies and distrusts, but, at the same time, good, clean com- petition. But all that changed when the advisers, Mrs. Judy Con- rad and Miss Karen Hutchi- son, and their squads got to know each other when both groups attended a drill team camp at the University of Maryland. By late summer adviser Conrad suggested to her offi- cers that they perform with the Arrowettes at a basket- ball game. Shock—that was the first reaction. But it lasted only a few seconds when everyone began talking at once about the what, where, when, and how of the performance. January 4 marked the first time that two drill teams in the area combined to enter- tain at halftime. Three weeks before, Mrs. Conrad and the officers had visited the Arrowettes and their ad- viser. They had discussed en- trances, exits, routines, and music. Then the squads were told. The well-kept secret, known to the officers since July, spread enthusiasm through- out the gym. Then it was practice, prac- tice, to Jellicle Ball, the number that both squads would use. Excitement peaked that Friday morning as the day arrived. But snow and an early dismissal caused disap- pointment as the girls flitted through school. At 5:00 Monday night the Belles met at FSC to prac- tice. At 5:30 Arrowettes filed into the gym and both teams practiced their Cats routine. Then the two lines made their way to the prac- tice gym downstairs where each team showed off their individual routines. During the game, teams cheered for their schools, and with three minutes to go in the first half, they made their way to the lobby. They were about to make history.

Thinking he was alone, he walked across the stage toward the lights. As he passed the set, John Myers, from behind the couch, jumped out and screamed, scaring Mr. Corn- messer who, in turn, jumped and screamed. The mischie- vious senior, who thought he had a good thing going, con- tinued to scare each cast member who arrived. Final renovation which began in February moved the Thespians to the Palace. The small, intimate theater served the group well, get- ting 200 spectators each night. On the financial side, the society got off to a worse start. Because of the unex- pected cost of May Day flowers from 1984, the Thes- pians found themselves hav- ing $300 less. As a result, a fall induction ceremony was postponed until spring when the group had fattened their treasury. But the new members brought new life to both the in-school and community theater interest.

On Wednesday, December 5, Thespians got psyched for the evening performance. But a 5:30 snowstorm post- poned the competition until the following Monday. The senior play, The Lot- tery, directed by Lori Brown, is a drama about a small town whose villagers draw tickets to see who gets stoned to death. Seniors used the play to walk away with four honors. Lisa Mackay won Best Actress for her portray- al of Tessie Hutchinson, while John Myers won Best Actor as her husband Bill. Sam Thrasher received Best Supporting Actress honors as Mrytle Watson and helped push the seniors to a Best Play victory.

Caroler Kenny Wilson “had fun, but it would have been better if it snowed.” The neighborhood kids sang two favorites at each house. Wrapping Christmas pre- sents was a major chore for some people, but not to Joe Stevens. “I love to wrap gifts. When I do them I know that no one can peak because I use a lot of tape,” said Joe. Finding a box the right size t the last minute, sophomore Mark Roque wraps his sister's present. During the holiday season, high schoolers could be found at the Country Club Mall doing their last-minute shop- ping for the gift and running out of tape before the present is wrapped were just some of the problems that arose. “I hate it when you think you leave the sales tag on, so you unwrap it just to find out that you didn’t. Then you have to wrap it all over again! stated junior Kelly Manley. The Tri-Hi-Y got into the Christmas spirit by donating money to Toys for Happi- ness. The club donated $20 for the drive. The Frostburg United Methodist Youth Choir donated toys bought at the Valley Mall as part of their annual trip to the Anita Lynn Home for handicapped people.

After the junior and senior high bands played, it was their turn. Instead of the traditional living room scene, the mem- bers filed in and lined up on risers. Although many mem- bers were disappointed, most still retained their positive attitude. Junior Michelle Skidmore commented, “I’ll miss the Christmas scene but hopefully we can do it next year.” Adding to their holiday excitement, once again soundtracks and tapes were made to be played on the lo- cal radio stations of WROG, WCBC, and WFRB. The Country Club Mall also re- ceived a soundtrack for last- minute shoppers to enjoy. The Board of Education declared March as Music in the Schools Months. This declaration presented an op- portunity for the ensemble to perform at the mall in per- son. From the time the Christmas assembly ended, singers reported to the cho- rus room at 8:05 three times a week. By the time the per- formance arrived, senior Nancy Metz “could sing ev- ery song backwards.” “I think this year’s ensem- ble is the best we’ve ever had.” In spite of the changes, Mrs. Cynthia Mappin had a positive attitude about the singers.

Juniors Lisa Croft, Amy Byrnes, Lori Duckworth, and Pat Stevens each spent $ 11.50 and traveled to WVU to catch Duran Duran’s live show. “I thought it was pret- ty good, but it would have been better if our seats had been closer,” commented Lori Duckworth. To add to their not-so-great seats, the four had to stand outside, waiting in the cold 45 min- utes to get in. On a higher note for the Double D’s, Erica Gillespie, was fortunate enough to see three different concerts in- cluding Duran Duran, The Police, and Kool and the Gang.

Each concert ranged any- where from $ 1 1.00 to $17.00. Of the three con- certs, The Police was the most expensive to attend, costing Gillespie $17.00 for her seat which was behind a pole that hampered her view of the stage. Only drummer Stuart Copeland was visible and occasionally Sting could be seen jumping out. A seat to see Culture Club and their flamboyant lead singer Boy George cost se- niors Cathy Reed and Kathy Kerr $ 15.00 a head. Between their “great” seats and the video screen at the Capital Centre in D.C. the two could see everything.” “I spent a total of $50.50 on the concert and souvenirs and it was worth every penny,” stated Kerr. Even though the Centre wouldn’t allow cameras and the row behind them spilled drinks on their T-shirts and programs, it didn’t ruin the event. Brown F X tiling the punch cups. Mrs. Sandy Stevens gets ready for the Christmas reception following the band concert. Invitations for the party were sent to each band parent. Probably the most hard- to-get-at concert of the year was the Jackson’s Victory Tour. Senior Melissa Martin and four others shelled out $24.25 each for a glimpse of Michael and his brothers at Jacksonville, Florida’s Gater Bowl. The odd thing was that after she had bought her ticket, Melissa opened a can of Pepsi and won two more tickets. She sold them and spent the money for souve- nirs. Between the party of Five they spent $262. Martin ad- mits, “I’m not a big fan of Michael Jackson but it was the biggest concert of the decade so I went. It was worth $30.00 and I’d go again.” No matter how you went about catching a favorite star, nothing could compare to the live show. Concerts 57 ressed in her Santa hat.

With limited time and space, meetings were put on strict schedules. The gym schedule proved tricky when drill team shared with the winter sports teams. Other organizations which couldn't finish projects by 3:30 had to work at home or wait until the next day. Thespians practiced in basements, churches, and at the Palace. FBLA lacked an adviser and so the club never met. But black belt Chris Hocher brought a new organization of karate. Still with restricted meeting plaices, there was more inac- tivity than activity. Club members just used time more wise- ly. STUDENTS VISIT SCHOOLS Having pride in your own school is one thing, but hav- ing the opportunity to go to another school for a day was something else, and Student Exchange Day gave that op- tion. Thirteen students ven- tured to the local high schools of Valley, Allegany, Mt. Savage, Fort Hill, Old- town, and Bruce to see how routines differed. Senior Stephanie Andrews visited Oldtown and her mother. Also, 26 other high schoolers came to see how the local set-up differed from theirs. Kevin Klingerman from Flinstone was the only boy who visited. Student Council President and guide Brian Davis said Kevin “couldn’t believe how big Beall was compared to Flin- stone.” Jennifer Pennington host- ed Shelly Stansberry of Old- town, who liked C.W.P. best. All in all the day was a success, and in some ways, students appreciated their own schools even more. hilc in homeroom, exchange student Melinda Nixon listens to the morning an- nouncements.

Mrs. Nancy Cotton, accompanied the girls for the four days. On June 20, 18 girls and Mrs. Nancy Cotton arrived at NCA Cheerleading Camp, at California State College in Pennsylvania, and for five days they learned cheers, mounts, and pom- pom routines. The squad was up at 6:00 and by the end of every day, they were spirit stick winners. On the fourth day, junior Robin Jenkins fell and sprained her ankle in prac- tice which forced the squad to re-choreograph the entire dance routine in just a few hours. That night in their perfor- mance before the entire camp and judges, the girls received their usual excellent rating. In spite of all the late night parties, by the end of the week the girls were ready to return to Frostburg, but not empty handed. It was a joyful and excit- ing scene. Blue and gold jumped up and down, hugged, and screamed. “The winner of the camp spirit stick is Beall High School from Frostburg, Maryland.

BAND’S CHRISTMAS CONCERT Performing the halftime show at football games and marching in parades were not the only activities the band participated in. At the end of the marching season, the group transformed itself into a concert band. Both junior and senior high musicians prepared music for their annual Christmas concert. Jill Nel- son thought the musicians “did well in the short time we had between marching and concert season.” Jason Brode and Lamar Hall took time from their classes to rehearse with the junior band because it had no basses. When Mr. Frank Munson needed a chime player, Beth Nelson took her lunch period to practice. On Sunday, December 16, the concert started at 2:00 but in order to tune-up, stu- dents arrived between 1:15 and 1:45. Excited seniors rushed into the uniform room to get dressed for their last Christ- mas concert. Not only did the students participate in the presenta- tion, but the parents also got into the act. Mr. Conrad Best, President of the Band Boosters, presented a gift certificate to the director. After the concert the par- ents set up a reception with cookies and punch, all donat- ed by the parents. Mrs. Rob- ert Brode and her social committee served. Through the year, the band showed its versatility without compromise. First, a marching band, then a con- cert band, and finally a jazz ensemble.

Sophomore Teresa Eisle displayed her Christmas spirit by giving each girl a homemade doll crocheted by her mother, Barbara Eisle. Each doll was personalized to match the receiving girl’s bedroom. The squad munched out on Doritos, Cheeseballs, M M’s and Coke. Captain Kathy Kerr supplied the en- tertainment by bringing re- cords of popular rock groups. She even gave a concert sing- ing along with Duran Duran songs and imitating the band members. “I thought the whole thing was great,” Kerr added. “It really brought our squad back together again.” Four hundred ninety may seem just a number, but not to twirlers Tara and Stephanie Davies. It meant trophies which together they collected over the past 10 years because of their hard training. Tara, the younger of the two, had been twirling for six years and 190 of the tro- phies have been added to the collection through her expertise. She placed first in her age group in dance. twirl, and two baton during state competition.

In October, Mrs. Cynthia Mappin chose Allan Bucka- lew to attend All-State Cho- rus. The chorus lasted two days in which the members learned and recorded 11 songs. “It was something I’ll never forget,” was Allan’s comment. Shortly after, sophomore Emily Smith was named as the recipient of the Hugh O’Brien Leadership contest. Along with receiving a plaque, Emily attended seminars in a Baltimore workshop.

The even- ings we practiced at the Uni- versity of Hawaii on their as- troturf practice field. Everything was non-stop. Practice was tough and every morning it rained. Cold rain. But we practiced through ev- erything. We stayed on Wa- kiki Strip. The beach was two blocks away and the stores went both ways from our hotel. The stores had everything that had to do with Hawaii, and it was non-expensive. Everything was imported ex- cept for flowers, coconuts, macadamias, and pineapple. The pictures of Hawaii’s palm trees and beaches are not from where we stayed; we were in downtown com- mercialized Honolulu, Oahu, where the stores opened at 9:00 every day, Sunday and Christmas in- cluded. We were in Hawaii and had to take everything home to Dad, Mom, and Robin, Ryan, Kim, Shel, and anyone or everyone else. The money 1 had ended up being “what” money? and How much did I bring?” Yes, Hawaii has McDon- alds, Burger King, and Wendy’s. And with all that food over there that’s where we ate; disappointment. They gave us the same for breakfast that soon we could predict what we were being served. Stacey and I had a great time with Jennifer, a girl from Bowie, Md., whose company we enjoyed very much. We took a boat to Pearl Harbor. Jen got sick, but Stacey and I made it through, a little green but alive. All I could think of was everyone at home sleeping, eating good food, and doing nothing.

But since Wayne had been a seventh grader here, he “felt right at home.” While some transfers ar- rived too late to participate in extra curricular activi- ties, Dave Richendollar found a few friends in the band. Later he participated in the homecoming pep ral- ly as a member of the group Twisted Sister. Among other new faces in the senior high were De- lores Cutter, James Bas- gall, Roger Diehl, and Greg McKenzie. At Eckhart, Turessa Readd, Gerri Ran- kin, Jay Basgall, and Ryan McKenzie blended into the small school. They made friends and joined the fun in the cafeteria, on the playground, and in the gym.

Saturday, three days after the last day of school, most students were home in bed at 6:30 a.m. But 56 members of the Frostburg Methodist Choir boarded, (you guessed it), two school buses. But this time they didn't mind riding in a school bus because they were off on their annual choir tour ... The group was in for a long trip. Traveling in 90° weath- er for hours, the choir fi- nally stopped at their first destination, the N.M. Carroll Nursing Home. Now all they had to do was sing in the scorching weather. After four years of performing at the home and enjoying it, the choir didn’t mind. After singing and a short break, the talented group headed for Balti- more. They stopped for lunch at the Inner Har- bor,and the baseball fans headed for Memorial Sta- dium and watched Balti- more lose to the Detroit Tigers. On the same day the group traveled to the Woodside Methodist Church in Silver Springs. They gave two more per- formances and spent the night with host families belonging to the church. My host family made me feel at home,” stated Lisa Croft, a two-year member of the choir. But early the next morning excitement filled the air as they headed for Ocean City. Here, be- tween performances, the girls lay on the beach while the guys strolled along the Boardwalk. Coming home, the choir realized that giving up four days of their sum- mer vacation to entertain others wasn’t so bad. They made new friends and had fun.

If you failed a test, you bombed it. If something surprised you, it freaked you out. If the person sitting next to you in chemistry was getting an “A”, he was simply known as a brain.

It was something everybody had done at one time or other. Whether it was just kissing parents good morn- ing or kissing opposites good night, yes, everyone did it. But believe it or not, kissing was non- existent in many cultures. Eskimos rubbed noses, but so did the Burmese. Some groups preferred hugging, rais- ing their hands, or pressing their thumbs together upon meeting. Not all cultures considered kissing enjoyable. The Chinese thought it a decadent act, and Indo-Chinese moth- ers threatened their children with kiss- { .cady for her Valentine’s Day Kiss. Amy Williams puckers up and waits. es. Being threatened for kissing was a rule also enforced at Beall High. Where did it all begin, this need to touch one another on the lips? Perhaps with the female bird or animal who fed her young, or perhaps with the early Roman woman, forbidden to drink, who often licked her husband’s lips. One thing for sure, no one cared where it came from, only where it was. It never happened to Snow White and her handsome prince. It never happened to Daisy and Donald Duck. And it never happened to Melanie and Rhett Butler. Maybe that’s be- cause breaking up was serious business. Why did it happen? Was it part of growing up? Heart- breakers broke hearts everyday. And those who found their own heart broken realized that their perfect person was no longer perfect. “He was boring and getting on my nerves,” stated Noelle DeMars. “He would laugh at the dumbest things.” When things went wrong, ev- erything else fell apart. Moving into adulthood was not easy.

Heading up Main Street toward Frost School, the girls’ track team was .. . On the On April 8, 28 girls gathered at the track for their first wor- kout. They stretched, jumped, and then ran laps around the stadium fence. Every afternoon at 3:05, the girls’ track team started the 20- minute workout with Coach Randi Countryman. Muscles, not used over the winter months, were stiff and sore so the girls built up their stamina by using the universal in the drill team room. “Every day as we ran to Frost, we counted all the people that waved and blew horns at us. Sometimes we even stopped at the Methodist Church for water, stated Rhonda Grove. On rainy days, the team practiced inside the school. Tennis shoes pounded through- out the halls and down into the junior high. Hurdlers lined the main hall in the old building and took advantage of the in- door track. Finally, it was off to work on individual events. With a time of 2:41.4, 880-yard runner Grove broke Nancy Hafer’s 1979 mark, Marne Davis also broke her own record in the mile and two-mile runs. Coach Countryman ap- plauded the feats, and the P.A. recorded their times. Both girls turned a little red as they lis- tened to someone else tooting their horns. Girls' track n After a fast start, the team dropped five consecutive games, and realized things were . . . Not in The Bag When the sun broke through the dreary winter skies, Coach Leonard Rit- chie grabbed his “B” hat and headed out behind the Regal fence. With six positions up in the air, the only constants were desire and enthusiasm. Starting the season with victories over Salisbury and Oldtown, the future looked bright. But with a loss to Fort Hill, suddenly losing became a habit. As the team found themselves on the shorter side. Coach Ritchie found it harder to motivate his boys. Not only did things go wrong for the team, but neg- ative forces pounded individ- uals. Robert Cuthbertson had a bad week against Southern and Bruce. While pitching against the Oak- landers, “Cup” got line- drived in the arm and was forced to wear a wrap. A few days later against Bruce, “Cup” again got beaned. This time it was in the hip by a Tim Ahern fast- ball. “I couldn’t walk for three days,” complained Cuthbertson. Forgetting seemed to be Chris McLuckie’s problem. Against Bruce, McLuckie forgot his spikes and had to call his dad to bring them to Westernport. Chris also for- got his hat against Valley and wore Matt Troutman’s. Overall it was just a down year for the baseball team, but there were a few bright- eners. Statistically, Trout- man led the pitchers with a 2-2 record. Cuthbertson led in the hitting stats with an average of .450, followed by Bryan Murphy. Leading the fielders were shortstop Dave Sweene and second baseman McLuckie. They enjoyed the play, but as Dean Shriver lamented, “It just wasn’t our year!” STRETCHING THEIR LOSING streak to four games, second baseman Andy Souders heads for the locker room after losing to Mt. Savage 7-2. This scene became an all too familiar sight at baseball games.

G Wolodkm Continuing as a powerhouse, the runners were once again ... Off and Running On their feet, an enthusi- astic crowd anticipated the finish of the last race of the night, the 400 meter relay. When Uday Patnik crossed the line in second place, the Beall fans let out a huge sigh. Needing a second place or better, the relay team came through, helping the tracksters win the area’s premiere meet, the Invita- tional, by a mere three and one-half points. Overcoming favorite Alle- gany and Mussleman, Coach Gerard Calhoun’s runners proved once again that they were the best in the area. With only one scratch on an almost perfect record, the tracksters performed consis- tently well. The team’s stron • gest area was in the distance tandem of Tom Dudley, Tad Davis, and Troy Skidmore who consistently won the “long runs.’ Dudley high- lighted his season by hand- ing Keyser’s Brian Redman his first mile loss in four years. Other consistent performers were hurdler Steve Herrick and sprinter Uday Patniak. Their names could always be found in the paper as double winners. LaMar Hall and She- vin Kuperman also played a vital part of the team. Continuing their role as the powerhouse of area track teams, the tracksters closed their season with a third place in the regionals and made a strong showing by placing sixth in the State Meet. At the State, Dudley won the 800 and 1600 meters races and Skidmore cap- tured the 3200 meters. Hall set a new school record of 42' 8 in the triple jump. MAKING SURE that he is loose.

Good OrT Paper Things were different. A losing season for the boys brought them less ink in the newspapers, and a winning season for the girls brought them no ink at all. Rookie Kenneth Metz brought a new format. Scores weren’t on the an- nouncements as the coach felt “it’s not whether you win or lose, it's if you did your best.” But the girls found other printed materials. At the be- ginning of the season, they drilled fundamentals — forehand, backhand, stance, and serve. Mr. Metz looked to the experts and mimeo- graphed chapters from books and magazines. “We had to do it his way first. But as soon as we could do it his way, he gave us the freedom to go it on our own.” said number five seed Randy Swanson. Lacking the “kill” drive of former teams. Coach Bill Payne’s boys just kept com- ing out on the shorter end. Number one seed Pat Ste- vens did, however, record a winning season. “I wasn't disappointed with the team effort. We lacked experience, but we'll get better.” Once the teams got by the chapters and the clipboards, there wasn’t much left. But they did talk a lot about the paper.

Scotty Lee of Hampshire managed to get the early lead and keep it. finishing first and setting a course record in the first and only meet for the local runners. Rumor started near the end of the summer, long be- fore practice began. Because of the sparse attendance at the organizational meeting held in the spring, there was talk of no cross country. That rumor was soon dis- regarded when Mr. Edward Langan, who had coached four individual state champi- ons, telephoned the team members to have them re- port August 14. From that point on, ru- mors flew. After three weeks of practice, the survivors questioned the school’s being able to field a team. With only Billy Michaels, Tom Seiler, Ray Hughes, Jeff Schlegal, Jimmy Miller, and Greg Wolodkin, the first meet was run as scheduled. Junior Marne Davis, the only female, rounded out the “seven-man” team. Soon after the Hampshire meet. Miller and Schlegal were plagued with injuries, and Wolodkin had other ob- ligations. But still the re- maining four continued to meet at 3:15 to run the hilly terrain. As the next meet neared, Coach Langan and the faith- ful four met with Principal James Preaskorn. Everyone agreed; it would be best to drop it.

Beating the Unbeatable When the final seconds ticked off the clock at Fort Hill Stadium on a cold No- vember night, the score showed Beall 2, Mt. Savage 0. They had done it! The hooters had avenged two sea- son losses to Mount Savage and earned a return trip to the state semi-finals. Having lost to Savage twice earlier by scores of 1 -0 and 2-1, the team upset the Indians when it counted the most, in the Region I Finals. “It’s hard to beat a team three times, and our boys GAG showed that tonight,” said Coach Leonard Ritchie after the big victory. Dave Young, the season’s high scorer, took a pass from Dave Unnone and scored the first goal with 36:03 left in the first half. On a penalty kick at the 45:25 mark in the second half, insider Ray Baer land- ed the insurance goal. Both teams took 24 shots on goal in the third, evenly played game between the two squads, and Beall had a 4-3 edge in corner kicks. Mike Harden had 13 saves for Mt. Savage and Jason Brode stopped 10 shots for Beall. At the state semi-finals, St. Michaels battled Beall to a heartbreaking overtime de- cision. With the regulation game ending at 2-2, both teams shot penalty kicks. Until St. Michaels scored on the twenty-second kick, both teams shot an unbelievable 17 kicks. On the year. Young scored 18 goals while Unnone scored 10. At goalie, Jason Brode made 191 saves to be- come the area’s top goalies.

Upon arriving at the gym, their thoughts were con- firmed. Whey they walked into the gym the floor was covered with file cabinets. So for their first workout, the girls carried the files into the hall. Without a net and without knee pads, the girls had a hard time get- ting into the swing of things. So for the first two weeks of practice the girls just went over the basics. Starting off the season with five losses. Coach Chris Kreiling emphasized the im- portance of “thinking” in- stead of just playing. So going into their sixth game, the team had a renewed determi- nation to win. They defeated Flintstone 3-0 for their first victory. Arriving at practice about a week before the Valley game, team members encoun- tered another major problem. Because of her allergies. Miss Kreiling would not be there for the game. Serving during her absence, Mr. Larry Hop- craft, Blaine Cutter, and Kimmy Williams gladly filled in for the hospitalized coach. Even with all the setbacks, the girls went on to upset Bruce and Allegany to end their season. Despite technical difficul- ties of misplaced poles, clud- dering file cabinets, and miss- ing knee pads, the girls man- aged to survive the season. Before the match at Valley all the girls piled into Steph- anie Cutter’s car to visit the coach. “It was a tight squeeze going down, but it was unusu- al to see her in a pink-plaid robe and to have a voice she could hardly use,” stated Re- nee Robertson.

Hughes received the local coaches’ “Player of the Week” honors for his performance in the game, but the team dropped a 12-7 decision to the Indians. 153-10. The team’s 2-7 record was however deceiving. They seemed to have a knack for losing the close games. In spite of the adversity that goes with losing, there were positive spots. Against Valley, running back John Brewer rushed for 215 yards. Brewer, selected as the coaching staff’s Player of the Week for the Northern game, led the total offensive performance. Others receiving the coaches’ accolades were Dean Shriver, Hampshire; Randy Eichhorn, Valley; Eric Harman, Keyser; Brian Edwards, Bruce; and Bryan Hughes, Frankfort, Berkeley Springs, and Southern. Hughes, sidelined part of the season because of an arm in- jury, earned the honors at de- fensive end. “The year was not a total disaster,” stated Calhoun. “The boys showed a lot of spirit and always played hard-nosed football.” On his homemade bulletin board in the lobby, Calhoun posted the sign WE GAVE IT OUT BEST GAG lA7hat next? 88 UP AND OVER goes John Brewer (11) for his first score of the Valley- game.

B 11 SNA K EBIT Splish, Splash in the Rain Awaiting the annual Homecoming clash between Beall and Bishop Walsh, most of the crowd sitting in the rain at Fort Hill Stadium anticipated an uneven game in the favor of the Spartans. Coming into the game with a record of 7-3, Walsh carried a five-game winning streak. Compared to Beall’s 2-6 record, it looked as though the smaller Mountie team wouldn’t stand a chance. But when the team dashed onto the field in high spirits, there was a feeling in the air that the “blue and gold” might stand a chance after all. Going into the last quarter behind 7-0, the gridders looked as though they might be able to pull one off. But after B.W. racked up two more fourth-quarter touch- downs behind the running of Offensive Player of the Game, Craig Clay, and the passing of Brad Smith, Beall’s hopes of a victory were soon shortened. Their lone score came late in the fourth period via six- yard Randy Eichhorn aerial to end Bryan Hughes. Eich- horn went over for the two- point conversion, making the final score 21-8. Playing in their last game in the Mountie uniform were seniors Eichhorn, Hughes, Robert Cuthbertson, Dean Shriver, Bill Harris, Bryan LaRue, and John Brewer.

New faces gave a different look to the team. Bill Hena- gahan replaced retiring coach Chris Kreiling. For the first year, a JV team was added to the roster with Ka- ren Diamon, Dottie Turner, and David Robertson help- ing to maintain the JV team. With practice every day after school for three hours the girls exercised by run- ning defense and pep drills. doing suicides, and practic- ing foul shots. By the end of practice the team had been put through the wringer. “Mr. Henaghan is a good coach. We didn’t have very many wins, but we’re an in- experienced team and we have a lot to look forward to in the coming years,” stated Krista Vought. Weather plagued the team in January. Every game on Friday was postponed be- cause of early dismissal or school cancellations. Make- up games were resheduled later in the season.

'lAT’hat next? 94 UNI1 XI£B£UXI] By the Media At the start of the season, the Cumberland Times picked this year’s cagers as one of the area’s top teams. With four starters and a few other regulars from the pre- vious season returning, it looked as though the local paper might be right. “I’m looking forward to the start of the season,” stat- ed an optimistic Coach Mick Cunningham. The team played all their home games at Frostburg State. This had some advan- tages and some disadvan- tages. Obviously it took away the home court advan- tage, but by the season’s end, the team was used to the larger court which proved to make them a better condi- tioned team than most of their opponents. In the season opener, the team dropped a tough 74-70 decision to Bishop Walsh, and by Christmas break, the cagers had a disappointing 3-4 record. During the holidays the team traveled to Frankfort for the annual Christmas Tournament. At the tourney, the team showed why there were a pre-season favorite. Avenging an earlier loss to Frankfort in the title game, the locals beat the Falcons 46-44. Junior forward Mike Eberly was awarded MVP as Dave Unnone and Dave Lowry received first team all-tournament honors. From this point on the cagers won seven of their next games defeating WMI foes Allegany and Mount Savage. Their only loss in this stretch came to the areas number one rated team. Fort Hill. The next five games found the blue and gold losing five disappointing games, but it found senior Dave Unnone breaking the all-time scoring record as he ended the sea- son with 1,128 points. The team then bounced back to win four out of their last six games — bringing their final record to 13-11, and ranking eighth among area teams in the Cumber- land Times, having beaten three of the teams that were ranked ahead of them during the regular season. “Inconsistency seemed to be our main problem,” stated Senior John Brewer, “but we did beat some good teams this season. BEALL ALL TIME high scorer Dave Unnone set the record at 1,128. Dave scored 245 as a sophomore and 484 as a junior.

GAG MARYLAND STATE CHAMPIONS Brian Davis Bill Caton GAG til W [b I IS 11 On the Mats Fifty dual-match wins are a lot for any team, but 50 in a row was unheard of for area wrestling teams.That is, until this year. On January 14 the wrestlers broke a long stand- ing record of 49 victories in a row that was set by Keyser in the early 1970’s. The team defeated Frank- fort 54-9, giving them their fiftieth consecutive victory since their win over Valley back in 1980. The three time state champs eventually com- pleted the season undefeated and extended their streak to 55 victories. “We didn’t have quite as much talent as past teams,” explained Coach Gary Davis, “so we just had to work a lit- tle harder.” By the end of the regular season, two wrestlers hailed undefeated records, 155- pounder Brian Davis 18-0 and heavyweight Allan Buck- alew 18-0. Allan Twigg at 132 lbs. finished 18-1. Billy Caton at 112 lbs. finished at 17-1, and Dave Weimer, 145 lbs., finished 15-3. Davis, a senior captain and returning state champion, finished his career undefeat- ed in dual meets 52-0. He also became the only Beall wres- tler ever to top the 100 mark. Senior Buckalew, known as “Buck,” to his teammates be- came the hero in many occa- sions during battles with archrival Fort Hill. Twice the team trailed the Sentinels, but Buck” pinned his oppo- nent both times, giving his team the victory. “I like wrestling under pressure,” confessed Bucka- lew after the last Fort Hill match. Besides finishing their dual season undefeated, the grapplers also pinned down victories in both regular sea- son tournaments. Competing in the Keyser Kiwanis Tourney, the team overpowered all opponents in taking the Championship. Denny Crowe, 105 lbs., Ca- ton Twigg, Davis, Roger Schurg 185 lbs., and Bucka- lew all won their respective weight classes. “This is a good tournament to start off the season,” stated Davis who was awarded the MVP of the tournament. At the annual Thortias R. Davis Memorial Tourna- ment, the team once again was crowned champion. In the early rounds, the race for first was close between Beall, McDonough, and Hyndman, but with final victories by Pat O’Connor 119 lbs., Twigg, Davis and Buckalew, the team topped second place McDonough by a decisive 20- point margin. In this tourney Davis was again voted as MVP and Twigg accepted the Most Falls trophy. Winning matches seemed to become a habit for the wrestlers as the old habits were hard to break.

As senior English classes read George Orwell’s 1984, they knew his prophecy wasn’t quite true. But the way things were happening, maybe he wasn’t that far off. Grading scales in every class differed.

Then some like Mr. Ken Metz, found no need for a scale and based grades on accomplishments according to expectancies.” Jeff Keiling discovered a mysterious hole near his desk in industrial arts became the home of a garter snake.

A few organizations start- ed working on the next year’s projects. The band rehearsed marching music for the 1984 football season. Chime and yearbook staff- ers began 1984-85 publica- tions. Some teachers didn’t mind radios and cards. Glenn Walker brought his ghetto blaster and headphones and “jammed” to the beat of Mi- chael Jackson. Mr. Bill Byrnes entertained seventh grade social studies students with his “box” and tapes. Card players pulled out a desk wherever and whenever a teacher allowed. Every- time they had free time, they played Egyptian Ratscrew or War. Errands for teachers caused an over-run in the cafeteria, the most popular place for “brown-nosers” who just “stopped by to talk to friends.” Few teens who didn’t play cards or who didn’t have “boxes” just leaned back and went to sleep.

But the pride and accomplishment felt when Honor Society was an- nounced, told everyone else that they had “done a good job.” Joy, disbelief, and respect were the emotions the new members experienced when they received their invita- tions. And after the initial shock, the inductees and their parents looked to April 3. Anticipation mingled with nervousness. Girls especially worried about the stairs. “I practiced three different D MW' ways to walk,” said Steph- anie Cutter, “I finally decid- ed to walk my normal way.” When April 3 finally came, members arrived in new suits and dresses. As the day wore on, their nervousness became appar- ent. They chewed pencils, watched clocks, and cracked gum. “1 must have combed my hair 20 times, and it still didn’t look right,” said soph- omore Joe Stevens. Proud inductees shook Mr. James Preaskorn’s hand and signed their names in the register. Then they sat back, relaxed, and listened to the jazz ensemble play Hooked on Classics.

Though the main purpose of the different labs was to be educational, they also pro- vided hands-on experience. The industrial arts classes gave workers a chance to make something of their own creation for their parents for Christmas. “It makes me feel good to finish a project because I know that I did it myself,” said Sean Atkinson. “It also saves me money because I AFTER HEARING THE INSTRUC- TIONS on how to do the lab from Mr. Bill Determan, Kari Rankin studies the information.

The industrial arts classes dealt mainly with woodworking and metal labs, and the home econom- ics gave future homemakers the experience of shopping at the A P and running a day- care center. “I really enjoyed working with the kids. It was fun to show them what school is like,” stated Pam Sines. To get a good grade in the science classes, labs played an important part in decid- ing between a B+ and an A. According to Lori Duck- worth, “If a lab is written up neatly and accurately, the grade turned out to be pretty high.” The science class also proved to be fun. “I liked the lab more when I got to mix the chemicals,” said Mark Sagal, “I really liked watch- ing the reactions.” In Mrs. Barbara Doolan’s class, junior high students did labs that dealt with things to do with the metric system and genetics. “I thought it was neat to study genes because I learned about how the appearance of a person is decided,” said Sarina Coleman. Doing it themselves gave students the feeling of pride when the job was well done.

The team met with the Board of Education at the beginning of the year to discuss the significance of volunteers. After the meeting with the Board, Mrs. Langrehr met with the volunteers for the Health Room to discuss their duties. “I really feel the need for a Health Room,” stated Mrs. Karen Bingman, a Health Room volunteer. “It is essential to have a place where students can go when they are sick.” The Band Boosters, a non- instructional organization, produced the overall largest number of workers. while non-instructional volunteers worked on various fund raisers, instructional volunteers ran off papers, prepared course materials, and did whatever a teacher needed.

But as the year pro- gressed, so did their concen- tration level. The move also affected the curriculum. Mrs. Barbara Doolan and Mr. Bill Deter- man found they did not have gas or electrical outlets. And light switches in Mr. Deter- man’s room controlled the lighting in both his and Mr. Bill Byrnes’ rooms. “When Mr. Byrnes shows a movie, I have to turn out the lights in my room and we sit in the dark,” chuckled Mr. Deter- man. Students also had their opinions on the academics. They were not bothered by senior high students who seemed to be always “tour- ing” the school. The lower campus school day was cut 10 minutes shorter. “I like getting out of school early,” stated Mark Pfaff. “I’m always first in line at the coke machine.” Eckhart became a “home away from home.” VA7hat next? 110 WHILE IN FRENCH.

But it was the same story everywhere — students had to adapt. “I get to see my friends more,” said Leslie Miller. “It makes it easier to pass notes.” Other students took the opposite view of the situa- tion. “The lockers are way too small for our books,” said Linda Sivic. “By December, my English notebook was a WORKING ON THEIR assignments. mess. Many teachers felt the change was for the better. “I’ve got the best room I’ve ever had,” stated Mrs. Ellen Arnone. “When I was in the old building, I was out of the way. Here I get to see every- one walk by my door on their way to the cafeteria,” stated Mrs. Cynthia Mappin. Mr. Lonnie Nixon began his day by listening to en- semble practice and ended his day by keeping time with the band. “I told my students they were earning % credit in history and 'A in music.” History teacher Larry Hopcraft changed rooms three times before he settled into the modules. And Mrs. Katie Holwager, Mrs. Judy Conrad, and Mr. Frank Munson traveled back and forth from Eckhart. “I work two classes at Eckhart, then two at Beall, and then back to Eckhart for an- other,” reported language teacher Mrs. Holwager. Right before Christmas, seven teachers moved their classrooms into the trailers. “It made it easier to have the students help us move,” said Mr. Don Watkins. Students “lost” their classrooms for two days. Plagued by inconven- iences, students did their best and “stuck it out.” L. Brown Koreen Landis. J.P. Shirley. Danny Otto.

Senior academics 113 Making Easier Machines. Everywhere. Helping man in grocery stores, factories, and even in schools. Found in almost every room, machines helped the students and the teachers finish tasks sooner. Every student who had chemistry, trig, calculus, physics, or accounting car- ried a calculator. “They make it so much easier to fin- ish problems,” said Mamie Ross. “The only problem is you can’t use them on the SAT.” Yearbook staffers took their three typewriters for granted, that is until two of the three had problems. Typ- ist Sandy Knieriem went to Mrs. Judy Wilson’s room un- til the repairman came. Teachers also had their problems with machines. Di- viding the school into two buildings meant the machinery had to be split. And with only one copi- er at each school, faculty members waited. In industrial arts, the pow- er sander, drill press, and printer got heavy use by those who made tables and bookcases. Mrs. Phyliss Ganyu’s li- brary students could use the microfilm and the micro- fiche. At Eckhart, Ray Raynor hurried to the media center to use the TRS 80.

Serving as a receptionist for Mrs. Norma Nelson and Mr. William OrndorfT dur- ing fourth period, Michelle Pegg sat in the outer room of the guidance office. Visitors to the office had to meet her clearance before being ad- mitted to see either of the two counselors. Mary Lynn Hawkins gave up her fourth period study to aide Mr. Tim Travis. While she worked, she listened to GO 106, often relaxing by propping up her feet. When David Unnone fin- ished helping Mrs. Judy Wil- son, she allowed him to go to the gym to warm up for bas- ketball practice. Colette Shockey checked yearbook pages, wrote cap- tions, and typed copies. Of- ten snacks of whoppie pies or breakfast biscuits appeared Skidmore from Mrs. Ellen Arnone. Down at Eckhart, Greg Carter delivered attendance sheets, picked up class re- ports, and ran errands for Mr. Edgar Hounshell, while Ray Raynor stamped out books, dusted shelves, and checked books for damages for Mrs. Mabel Wilson. Since Ray worked in the li- brary, he was always first to use the computer in the morning. Aides worked behind the scenes with the credit being a simple “thank you” and a feeling of helping the educa- tional process. WITH PLAYSCHOOL children at- tending the adult living class.

Whether students were college-bound or non-college bound, grades affected every student’s life. While some students just wanted to pass, others pressed to earn “A’s” in hope of being invited into the honor society. Grades also gave students the chance of winning schol- arships. Scholarships helped alleviate the burden of ex- penses. Because of her high grades and leadership, Tina Wilhelm was awarded an ACC scholarship. Parents boosted their teens into studying by offer- ing rewards. Getting $1 for AFTER PASSING BACK a test. Mrs. Carlinda Jimmcrficld writes her grad- ing scale on the board. The traditional 90-100 “A grading scale gave students an extra edge in earning an “A.” VAThat next? 118 every “A,” Angela and Mark Roque each awaited the trip up to their father’s house to collect the money. Angela re- ceived $7 each grading peri- od since she was a straight “A” student. Although some got paid for their effort, others got a simple pat on the back. “I don’t expect my parents to pay me for the grades I get. I earn them for my own satis- faction,” stated honor stu- dent Jill Nelson. Report cards weren’t the only thing students antici- pated. Unfavorable interims meant a week of punish- ment. (After receiving an in- terim the first nine weeks, a student could only hope to receive a satisfactory one the second nine weeks.) Making sure students were prepared to enter col- lege, Mrs. Ruth Rephan and Mr. Timothy Travis assigned term papers to their English and CWP seniors. Seniors could be seen in the school library for weeks research- ing their projects. “I let my other classes go so I could concentrate on finishing my term paper,” stated Kathy Kerr. Older siblings created a certain problem for younger brothers and sisters. They were always being compared to their older brothers and . sisters. When Ricky Duck- worth first went to Eckhart, he was asked if he was Lori’s brother. When he received straight “A’s,” they knew he was just as smart as his sis- ter. Whether they strived for “A’s” in hope of being invited ' into the honor society or wanting to get through high school, grades reflected on students’ desires to learn and on teachers’ abilities to moti- vate students into working to achieve “A’s.” 611 sap e I .m a W ' yv , i 'i. ||oj jouoq 3qi pjBMOi poiunoo jeqj sjofeiu aqi jo ouo sbm Xjoisih sqoBJBqj aqi jo souimsoD aqi suiB|d •xo uBiuAJiuno Xjjbh jV 3Jni|nD NViidAoa oNiAanis hiihav Joe Anderson was the first drum major in 1964-1966. joCbui uinjp jsjij aqi sbm oq The stadium was completed in 1948-49. ,p3l3|diuoo uinipBis aqi sum jboX icq V Dr. Melvin Brown co-authored the books with Jay Stouffer, Dan Hartman, and Dr. Russell Brown. tpuojrfjDfv fo siudjj 4pOOM pUB pUDJl(jDJ UJ91S9M Ul S9J1JJDJJ is9joj snotJVji Suimojjoj uotss99jns iuvjj s)(Ooq aqi poJoqwB-oo jaqoBO) jaunoj tBq Wl WITH FREE TIME.

We’ve got a lot of ter- ritory to cover this period.” This period? Gee, it was only February, and the guid- ance counselors were already making their rounds into the classrooms. Minimum credits were up. Easy senior years were out. The Maryland State Depart- ment of Education had ac- cepted the recommendation of its Task Force that every student, beginning with next year’s ninth graders, had to earn a minimum of 20 cred- its in high school and had to pass five majors every year. “I’m not sure I agree,” said freshman Lori Neat. “If someone’s really smart and deserves to go to college ear- ly, they’re getting cheated out of it.” But as an incentive to mas- ter advanced classes, the State Board will offer a Cer- tificate of Distinction in rec- ognition of additional classes taken. After 1990 these stu- dents will need at least one more credit in science and foreign languages and a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.6. Project Basic had been stressed for years. But for the first time all seniors were required to pass the reading test. And all 149 seniors passed. “We took reading and math at the beginning of the ninth grade, but we haven’t got the results,” said Tina Miller. “I’d like to know how I did. I want to see my mistakes.” Competencies in function- al math had to be mastered by the class of 1987. The schedule included special as- sistance classes for those who needed help. “There is pressure to pass all courses,” said Principal James Preaskorn. “And the requirements may have com- plications. They may affect how many we will have in ex- tra-curricular activities. The Functional Writing Test put pressure on the cur- rent tenth graders. Although Beall had the highest num- ber passing in the county and was 10% above the state average, 44% had to repeat it. The last Maryland compe- tency test introduced, the Citizenship Test, revealed that Beall was higher than the state average. Shocked by some of the government questions, students became aware that they needed to know more to meet the state’s standards. Current trends to improve achievements had reached every students. Governor Harry Hughes and the State Board of Education had mandated that students would be held accountable. DURING STUDY HALL.

As Jim Day pumped up his truck tire with a bicycle pump and the junior high at Eckhart sat on the playground at lunchtime, we knew our people were different. Brian Alderton was scheduled to take the SAT in Kenya, Africa because his mom wrote the wrong country on the form. It ended up costing him $12.00 to redo his form for the right place. Psychology students dressed up to take part in a “norm violation.” Ron Ferree wore a bra around for seven periods to prove he wasn’t of the “norm.” A mysterious phantom dropped tasty cakes and doughnuts on every teacher’s desks in the mornings. The cul- prit, Mr. John Cornmesser, was later discov- ered to be the provider. At Eckhart, teachers took turns bringing luncheon snacks. Mr. Gary Davis’s world history classes, studying the culture of the Greeks, decided to perform a special dance to festival music. The favorite oompas” could be heard on the entire second floor. Students were sticker collectors, candy stripers, brown nosers, and trouble makers. CWP debates over Mondaie and Reagan kept first period arguing for over 30 minutes.

It’s not unusual to see him walking with his arm around a student, helping him to regain the “right path.” Whether on the basketball court or behind the office counter, he demands respect. When he enters a classroom, all heads turn. Grins come across faces as students wait for his one, short quip. Anytime during the day he may be seen in his office, peering over his spec- tacles into a newspaper, or calmly, but sternly, conversing with a student who says, “I didn’t do anything.” R Swaruon Mr. James Preaskom chats with Mrs. Nancy Martens during Open House.

But not many students knew what was behind the well-man- nered, medium-built man. And to the surprise of many, the principal had more than a 9 to 5 desk job. Being a chairman for Middle States Evaluations for five years, Mr. Preas- korn visited Eastern schools to head the committee which evaluated all areas of the schools. “It’s work. You do a pre-visit and then examine each school. It’s an excel- lent opportunity for a school to see how it is rated against other schools. If you’re a top school, it’ll open doors for college and later life,” stated Mr. Preas- ROFESSIONAL ERSONAL kom. Another plus was that Patsy Fil- singer, Wade Morral, and Larry Hop- craft served on evaluation committees. The principal spoke proudly of Beall. He noted that “we’re one of the few schools that maintains an assembly schedule. Even through the moving process, we’ve almost had a normal year. That tells you something about the kids.” Moving was one thing Mr. Preaskorn was impressed about. “It’s remarkable how little griping there is. I guess it’s because we’re going to get a new school.” The bulky brown folder marked Beall High School-Renovation 1974, expressed the feelings of the faculty and student body — it was time to get During the following week after volleyball season. Miss Chris Kreiling prepares a pepperoni and chccze pizza for the volleyball team and faculty. Miss Kreiling in- vited the faculty for a game of “big ball volleyball which was followed by a pizza party at her house. Administration waits while bureaucracy delays renovation started. “I never knew there was so much red tape and bureaucracy to renovation,” said Mr. Preaskorn. “All the plans were ready to be set in motion when one man said he didn’t know if it might be better to return to the use of gas, rather than coal. They analyzed and tested the situ- ation only to find out it was better to use coal. This delayed the starting date an- other six months.” Finally in January, following delay after delay after delay, the office sent out a schedule of upcoming events. At the bottom of the list appeared: Please share this with your students: LAST RENOVATION GO-AROUND (HOPEFULLY!)

And this concern for others didn’t stop at the school steps. Out in the community, teachers lent their time to other activities. On the Fourth of July, former Exalted Ruler Bill Payne, Michael Cunningham, Harry Countryman, Edgar Hounshell, and Bill Byrnes helped area teens get a fast start on Derby Day. The annus! event attract- ed a large crowd to Main Street. Past president of the Rotary, Larry Hopcraft flipped pancakes and sausages at the club’s annual fundraiser. Mr. Hop- craft also planned their picnic. Sponsoring the Youth Citizenship ROFESSIONAL ERSONAL Award as one of their service projects, Soroptimist International had two teach- ers serve as officers. Miss Chris Kreiiing was vice president and Ellen Arnone, treasurer. When chemicals spilled in the science wing, William Determan used his fire fighting skills to control the situation. He quickly evaculated the building and care- fully removed the dangerous substances that had been packed for moving. Church positions occupied some facul- ty members. Mrs. Linda Croft directed the Frostburg Methodist Youth choir and every summer took them on tour throughout the state. The junior high music teacher played the organ for St. Michaels and Welsh Baptist churches. Faculty gives extra time to activities in the community She and her husband Charlie also orga- nized the activities for the church’s youth fellowship.

Mr. Gene Morgan and Mr. Bill Payne wait on students arriving for the first pep rally. Both Payne and Morgan were assistant coaches for the 84 football squad. R Swanson Off The Side From needlepoint to her favorite color of purple, Judy Conrad had a variety of hobbies. She used her spare time in school to work on needlepoint gifts or to decide what pattern to use for her new outfit. On the personal side, she was a devot- ed fan of Tom Selleck and also loved Trivial Pursuit. Occasionally, Mrs. Con- rad got the faculty together for a friendly game of Trivial Pursuit. “She makes the best dip I’ve ever tast- ed,” said Mr. Bill Byrnes. Believing safety is important, Mrs. Conrad always wore her seatbelt. And anyone riding with her was expected to do the same. If she passed you in the hall, you could tell it without looking because of the Cinnebar perfume and the Aigner click. During seventh period, she sits on the top bleacher glancing up from her need- lepoint from time to time to see how the drill team practice is going. On Mrs. Conrad's birthday, junior high teachers sur- prised her and helped to celebrate with a singer and balloons. Mr. Bill Payne picked flowers from outside the school for a special gift.

Members chose Mrs. Cynthia Mappin to be their repre- sentative. Pay checks in September reflected an 8% raise. “That was the good news,” said Mrs. Patsy Filsinger. “The bad news was that the state legislature eliminated the cost of living increase on retirement.” To maintain that unlimit- ed cost of living teachers who chose Op- tion A paid an additional 2% to the re- tirement system. ROFESSIONAL ERSONAL Teachers helped to develop curricu- lum. Mrs. Darlene Bacon was coordi- nator for the business development pro- ject, which had a competency-based format. She and Mrs. Judy Wilson, who worked on the accounting curricu- lum, gave up two weeks of summer and 10 days during the school year. “My job was to work with the county supervisor and coordinate everything to see that it got done,” said Mrs. Bacon. The committee had to update the cur- riculum to meet state standards and technological changes. In addition, Mrs. Paula Munson helped with the curriculum for ninth grade English; Mr. Gene Morgan, sev- enth grade social studies; Mrs. Carole Helmick, family life and psychology; Education is not a 9 to 5 job for most teachers Mrs. Barbara Doolan, life science; Mr. Bill Determan, physical science, and Mr. Granville Cannon, chemistry.

Between mov- ing supplies from the senior high to the junior high and having less people to do it, the renovation gave the custodians a much heavier load. When Beall became two sites, the ser- vice staff had two buildings to maintain. The custodians had to move their sup- plies three times to get ready for the ren- ovation. “One of the biggest problems,” said Mr. Don Watkins, “is keeping the paths clear of the snow to the modules and to the field house.” Overcrowding was also a problem for the custodians. This condition included not only the junior high but also the cafe- teria as well. “The worst thing about the cafeteria is that there is not much time to keep it clean for the students,” related Mr. Watkins. No one knew what would happen next. At the main site, problems were the norm. A water line broke, the sewerage system backed up, and construction workers hit a gas line. And over the Christmas holidays the custodians mad the final move to the modules. At the end of the first semester, bot secretaries transferred. Miss Susan Scot was upgraded to Secretary I and went t work for Pupil Personnel. Mrs. Lorrain Neus moved to Braddock Junior High All in all, it was a tough year. Helping Brenda Skidmore choose a college, Mrs. Non Nelson shows her all the possibilities of a career at Fro burg State. Counselors interviewed each senior indiv ually to make plans for after high school life. lA7hat next? 130 At the National Aquarium in Baltimore.

D Cotton Off The Side Christmas is for children. Right? Well, yes and no, for in the cafeteria at the “big school,” we had some “big kids” who enjoyed every moment of the holi- day season. When the doors opened, it was the stu- dent turn to marvel at the Mrs. Santa Clauses behind the counters. Decked out in their spotlessly white uniforms, the cafeteria ladies added a touch of decora- tion — holiday hats. With a cheery smile to match the top- pers, the women geared down for the an- nual Christmas dinner. Originally planned with Mexican tacos, the dinner was changed, and fresh turkeys, served. At the main campus, 377 students and 24 adults ate; at the lower campus, 197 students and eight adults were served. Eighty-two percent stood in longer lines for turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, and sauerkraut. The ladies, in their red and white hats, smiled, wished everyone “Merry Christ- mas,” and then gave each person a pep- permint candy. Al the day of the C hristmas dinner, the cafeteria staff wore their Santa Claus hats. Mr. Preaskorn gave each of the workers a red carnation for good service. Staff 131 Aldcrton. Brian: Band 1 4.

Seniors? 132 Romancing lie PA O 72 n Monday we “ discovered Marlena and Dirk snuggled closely together on the third floor stair- well. On Tuesday she locked herself in the telephone booth to call him. Wednesday, they met at Chick-Fil-A in the Mall. Thursday, we found the nauseating couple at the computer in Mr. Ross’s room. And on Friday, who cared? Those sickening announcements of As The Beall Rings were finally over. Yearbook staffers did anything they could to sell carnations, and the young romantics responded to the fund raiser. A mere $1.50 brought a red or pink flow- er with a choice of four ribbons. Most Romeos ordered Love You or Happy Valentine's Day. Shy boys agreed the Se- C. WoMkin cret Admirer message was an easy way to start a relationship. The carnations, however, weren’t limited to boy girl. Kids bought them for their parents and friends. Anna Sag- garo purchased a pink one for her friend Diane Kenney. But the surprise was on her, as Diane, too, had bought one for her best friend. Teachers found the carnations cheaper than buying roses which were going for $100.00 a dozen. Mr. William Determan and Mr. Paul Gerhard both ordered flowers for their wives. Seventh period, messengers entered the classrooms and hand delivered 425 carnations, a record number of sales.

Winiig is Everything «y % m ou shouldn’t have won. It was rigged.” was the chat- ter among students as they exited the sta- dium after the first pep rally. The juniors were upset; the seniors had won. As a dry run the cheerleaders had had each class chant cheers. But the spirit wasn’t present. Then came the “for real” spirit contest. The seventh and eighth graders just sat there. A little more life came out of the ninth and tenth graders but not enough to qualify them for any real competition. Finally the juniors and seniors showed their strength. The competition was evi- dent and cheerleaders couldn’t decide the winner. The Junior cheerleaders wanted the juniors to win and the Senior cheer- leaders wanted the seniors to win. Right in the middle of the rally, the squad ran to the faculty who made the decision. Cheerleaders put on the skit “Who Ate the Spirit Burger?” Which led into the announcement of the winner. Seniors waited. Finally, Cindy McFarland pro- claimed that the spirit burger had been eaten by the seniors. And then the juniors threw a fit. Bitter and disappointed, they complained that the other class had won only because they were seniors. But the class of ’85 didn’t care because finally after six years of waiting, they had won a pep rally — their first. Crowe, Lori: Hag corps. Cuthbertson, Robert: football 1-4; baseball 1-4.

But then it's never been my problem. Kathie Kamauff To console herself is to raid the refrigerator. Shelley Chabot, grounded for the weekend, was still allowed to eat and to talk on the phone. Lucky Lisa Croft has never been grounded, only “yelled at.” She knew it could be a possibility as her older brothers often had their privileges taken away. L. Brown Freedom is Precius T '2 0 he three little kittens that lost their mittens may have cried when they were punished, but Nancy Metz did more than cry. After be- ing sent to her room, she climbed out of the window and continued her evening plans. Eighth grade had the least number of people grounded. Eighty-six percent had been grounded at one time or another. Most of them that were grounded had fought with a family member. Ten percent of the ninth graders were not grounded. One student who partici- pated in the unsigned survey commented that he was grounded for breaking “a few” windows. In tenth grade the percentage of not being grounded rose to 20%. The common punishment was being confined to the house. One student, however, was prohib- ited from going to school events. Eleventh graders had some different reasons for being grounded. A girl slammed her bedroom door and her par- ents decided that the only way to keep her from doing that was to remove the door. Another student was confined to the house for a month. Of the 63 students surveyed, 14% had never been grounded. Among the seniors 22% had never been grounded; 75% were. Why did kids get into trouble? Was it a normal part of growing up? Perhaps so, but grounding as punishment was not re- placing a good old-fashioned tongue lash- ing or a swat from the hickory stick. TAThat next? 136 Garlitz.

That next? 138 large, and extra large, and all were rated grade A. And for family life students, the little white ovals became their children for one week. After the students were married, Mrs. Carole Helmick told them that they need- ed to learn the responsibilities of parent- hood. So for a week, the new parents were off to pampering, clothing, and protecting their babies. On the first day, Danny Drew delibertly smashed his egg on the cafeteria table and challenged someone to eat it. Ted Kight took the bet for a mere $5.00 and “sucked” up the child. As Joe Winn bent over to pick up his books, his baby jumped out of his pocket and committed suicide. The next day Joe adopted a new baby with the promise to Save the Balias P 2 ggs. Bought in cases, cartons, and dozens, they were hard-boiled, soft-boiled, and poached. They came in medium, become a more worthy father. Sheri Woods found the easiest way to feed her baby was with chocolate milk through a straw. “It was a pain having to watch it all the time and being so careful. You really real- ize what a responsibility it is.” stated Eva Davis. Steadies found sometimes the children added problems. John Brewer and Dan- ielle Miller, who were nicknamed Ken and Barbie by friends, discovered it was hard to meet in the halls when they were watch- ing twins. As the parents tried to keep their fragile child alive they learned one thing; the in- credible, edible was harder to take care of than expected. Making sure Willy receives his daily calcium require- ment. Sheri Woods helps him take a drink of her milk during lunch. Sheri and her husband Todd DiNicola. provided all the necessities for their “child” for two weeks as a part of the family life class.

Lisa Shirey takes advantage of the time by checking col- lege catalogs. The guidance department kept a wide selection to help seniors choose a school. Trying to decide on a college, Matt Cohen looks through a career catalog before discussing his choices with Mrs. Norma Nelson. TA7hat next? 140 ma Nelson and William Orndorff person- ally had interviewed each senior. “Our main goal was to talk to every senior be- fore Thanksgiving about his plans,” stated Mrs. Nelson. Eventually receiving between 90-95% scholarships and financial aid, college- bound seniors submitted FAF forms as late as February but no earlier than Janu- ary 1. A special financial aid workshop to help parents and students fill out the forms was held December 17 in the li- brary. Mrs. Kathy Kutler, from the fi- nance department at Frostburg State, was the instructor. With a college in the community, a high percentage of students turned to FSC. Co- lette Shockey, Dennis McKenzie, and Sa- mantha Thrasher were accepted by No- vember. But they soon found out they needed a $100 deposit before Christmas. Yet other students thought they wanted a taste of freedom and on-campus life. WVU, Pitt, Penn State, and James Madi- son provided the skills and activities to please tastes. Brian Davis looked to join his older brother at Madison, while Angela Roque liked the campus of Alderson-Broaddus. If students were going out of state, they found high SAT scores were needed. This quest for high scores caused seniors to take the tests more than once. Matt Cohen boasted an SAT of 1340 and looked for acceptance at MIT. Greg Wolodkin, re- cipient of Maryland Distinguished Schol- arship, planned to major in chemical engi- neering at the University. Major decisions — and just maybe the most important ones ever.

For when they returned to school in the fall, the class of '85 found they were $371 in debt. Class president Tina Wilhelm realized that the class desperately needed money raised. Attempting to sell anything from pizzas and hoagies to T-shirts, none of the projects were overwhelmingly successful. The most profitable sales came from the T-shirts. Large sizes arrived a week late, but still in time for “Blue and Gold Day.” Flaws were another problem as Sam Thrasher noticed that the apostrophe for the year was on the wrong side. “The com- pany’s arts and letters division was respon- sible for the mistake, said Wilhelm. Final result — $117. Ralph Arnold’s name had been omitted. And Maria Hall became Marie and Adrianne Deuel became Devel. Officers planned a bake sale at the Country Club Mall, and for a week be- fore, they visited each homeroom, begging their classmates to contribute. Almost $100 was added to the coffers. In early December the class sold hoa- gies. From 8:00 until 11:00, 11 senior girls whipped out 700 hoagies. Stephanie An- drews sold 40, doing her part to help erase the debt. Before the Christmas holidays, the class was $10.16 to the good. But with $1,000 needed for the prom and fund raising ideas exhausted, the se- nior class did their best to collect dues and to come up with any ideas that would help the money flow. L Brown Showing off their T-shirts, seniors Lesa Shirey and Dean Shriver make plans for the movies. Class presi- dent Tina Wilhelm chose the blue T-shirt with gold lettering, which were delivered in November. Seniors 143 I don’t think we should have to pay for it — to pay to fail a test?

Juniors met for breakfast at 7:30. 1984 SAT math scores increased three points for an average of 471. Average verbal scores rose one point to 426. Educators saw the slight rises as hints that the decline in scores finally had been reversed. ¥A7hat next? 144 Can We 64 Talk?

The short half hour at McDonalds early on Saturday, October 20, relaxed the 111 juniors. “Mrs. Arnone suggested we go,” said Tammy Winner. “Everyone was tired, but we soon woke up to laughter. It was a good class get-together.” When the PSAT began at 8:15, proc- tors William Orndorff and Dan Arnold noticed the serious, yet relaxed, group. As soon as they completed the 50- minute verbal test, the girls broke for the bathroom only to find the electricity turned off. And in front of everyone else, John Cook devoured two chocolate eclairs purchased earlier at D’Atris. Then it was back to work on the math test. “Maybe after I graduate from col- lege, I’ll be able to answer some of those math problems. I just guessed,” com- plained Jeff Hunter. Tired, but relieved, the test-takers spilled out of the cafeteria. “What’s the other definition for husband?” “I didn’t believe that reading com- prehension about the color changes of the sand crab.” “Yeah, how about the sentence com- pletions. They really didn’t make any sense.” “That math was hard!” “Hey, you wanna go to McDonalds for lunch?” Egg McMtiffin and white milk start Noelle De- Mars off on the right step.

One hundred cases of Reese’s Cups and Krackel bars arrived on August 28. Class officers went to each homeroom and announced that the candy had ar- rived, and they encouraged everyone to help sell. Juniors earned $1,100 from the sale, but they were disappointed when they found out that they could have earned $461 more if they had ordered from a different company. Class adviser Mrs. Carol Helmick took charge of the operation. She got the officers moving, counted and orga- nized the money, and planned other projects. “Mrs. Helmick is responsible for making the project work,” said Souders. Problems came with the selling.

Mrs. Vikki McFarland thought everyone would sleep on the way down, but it was quite the opposite. Twisted Sister, Def Leppard, Chicago, and Meatloaf psyched the sophomores for their day ahead. Arriving at the harbor after three hours on a bumpy bus, the young biolo- gists unloaded and got their instruc- tions for going through the aquarium. As they entered the building, students filled out an extra credit worksheet. They soon found out it was an easy way to bring up their grades. After a tour of the aquarium, the group was off to the Maryland Science Building. At this center, everyone was allowed to become scientists. They were free to experiment with all of the equip- ment. Maria Fautz, Tina Crowe, and Kristin Langrehr soon found they had special interest in the computers. Following the tour of the science cen- ter, students spent the rest of the day at Harborplace, shopping and eating. Steve Malone and Joe Jeffries dared each other to wade into the harbor, while Mrs. McFarland tried to keep her patience. Darin Gaynor walked around to use up the rest of his film. He even took pictures of people he didn’t know. (His favorite was an elderly couple from Philadelphia.) While the boys ran around, the girls went to shop for hats and to eat at Phillips Seafood House. Students found it hard to look in all of the stores and eat everything they wanted in one day. At the end of the day, 38 tired and weary sophomores, and one teacher and her family boarded the bus for the trip home. For that day, 38 students’ education extended beyond the classroom walls. They were learning by doing. Mrs. Vikki McFarland and Maria Fautz get an over- all look at the sea lions as they entertain the crowds.

For some reason, the boys were la- beled immature. They threw popcorn at couples in the movies and after catch- ing a ride home with one of the guys, they worried only about three-wheel- ers.

Lori Neat customized her jean jacket with buttons sporting rock groups. Those with more adventurous spirit heated up their wardrobes with fluores- cent orange, green, or pink. During the snowy winter weather, girls left their plastic shoes to hibernate in the closet and slipped on their suede ankle boots. When it came to buying the latest fashions, price was the main obstacle. It was no surprise for an outfit to cost $80 or more. According to Christy Carr, she and her parents held different opinions on what was “too much!” Spending endless Saturdays trudg- ing up and down the mall with Mom trying to find just the right look was an important part in a teen’s life.

Everyone was invited to take part, but only 25 daring students created masterpieces. Third place winner for her Garfield pumpkin, Kerri Stossel stated, “It was hard work; it took me four hours to make it.” Each teacher had five votes which determined the winners. Bobby Butler who won first place for his Mr. T. commented that he had black hands after finishing his prize winning pumpkin. “I had everything but a neck- lace for him, but Mrs. Filsinger let me borrow one.” The prizes ranged from two subs from Eckhart Deli and a ribbon for first place to pizza, nachos and a small drink from Foxes for tenth. And for everyone else who participated, the school pro- vided cokes. Fran Gastgeb said, “I like 17, the Cabbage Patch doll. She’s cute and looks just like one of the dolls.” Art instructor Patricia Filsinger ar- ranged for the winners to be announced at the Friday dance. But because of the heat. Student Council President Brian Davis and the two vice principals pre-1 sented the awards prematurely. Rapidly, Mr. T. and Garfield were!; rotting away.

As eighth grader Greg Byrnes put it, “I like it bette because we don’t have the senior high kids to pick on us.” But Heidi Williams complained be- cause junior high kids couldn’t see their se- nior high friends. Complaints were minor. Teachers and students unfamiliar with the noise condi- tions took a while to adjust. Josh Jen- kins could “always hear what the teacher next door was teaching.” After the initial settling-in period, teachers and parents praised the move. “There’s an entirely different atmosphere,” said Bill Determan, “I hope we’re able to keep the two schools.” “It isn’t really good to go from sixth grade to senior high. This way my son stays with kids his own age,” re- marked Richard Duckworth Sr. Then there was the complaint of be- ing left out of school activities, even though they were bused up for every “major” assembly and pep rallies. As stated by senior Nerissa Wampler, “They treat them like they’re not part of Beall anymore.” But the best thing by far at Eckhart was the fact that the eighth graders were the cream of the crop. Many adjustments had to be made. But students, faculty, and parents helped to make it work. L Skidmore Taking the change in “stride .

Breakdancers Brian Harris and Brian Davis drew a crowd as they rocked to Feel for You. Not letting her wheelchair hinder her, Diane Shertzer got out on the dance floor. “The dances give me a great chance to be with friends, and it’s something to do on the weekends,” said Aron Davis. At the beginning, with the boys hud- dled together and the girls huddled to- gether, only a few daring males could get the nerve to ask a girl to dance. But then the teachers got into the act. Ms. Judy Conrad organized a multipli- cation dance. Couples slow danced for 20 seconds and when the music stopped, every dancer had to find a new partner. By the end of Almost Paradise, practi- cally every seventh and eighth grade student was dancing. When Student Council President Brian Davis and Principal James Preaskorn met last summer, they had no idea how successful the program would be. But in a relaxed atmosphere with teachers encouraging friendship, the junior high dances were fun. Fitter shyness or boredom caused Tommy Wolfe to join his friends on the sidelines.

Missy Corley owned nine: three dogs, two cats, one rabbit, a mouse, a hamster, and a possum. Although the majority of the sev- enth graders owned “man’s best friend,’ dogs weren’t the only animals. Julie Shoup kept and groomed three horses, while Michelle Thomas fed lettuce to her hermit crab. Laurie Thomas showed her exotic tastes by owning two ferrets. Mork and Mindy ate cat food and used a litter box. At night, these creatures, a cross be- tween a mink and weasel, slept on old rags and towels. Naming pets became a way students showed their special tastes. Smurfette, a cat owned by Sonja Metz, was named after the Saturday morning cartoon. When it came to movies, John Wolford announced his favorite by naming his rab- bit Gizmo. Whether they were furry, hard-shelled, feathery or scaly, everyone had his favor- ite pet.

It’s true that they are heavier and more awkward, but they can be used in so many more ways. For instance, one can buy soft drinks, make a phone call (the change is seldomly returned), pur- chase candy or a newspaper, play video games, or buy a piece of piz- za or some gum at football games. When I was in elementary school, I always gave a quarter in Sunday School; never more, never less. I give more now, but a quar- ter was always so easy to get from the family’s change box and easy to keep. Now when I sell candy for the junior class and count the money, I find mostly quarters.

After the entire family test drove it, Dad made a few calls. Within a few days, the little white Camaro was mine. —Tammy Winner I was on my paper route doing the usual walking from door to door, thinking how much I would like to have my pay in advance. I knew I could never get it. So, I was trying to figure out other ways to get money, when I noticed a bill on the ground. I bent over to pick up not one, but two. The $20 bill had a five rolled up inside of it. —Bill Llewellyn When I was six, I got a pink, piggy bank, a gift from Mom and Dad. It sat on the right side of my bed. A couple of times it was filled to the rim. Then I’d empty it and give the money to Dad to put in the bank, or I’d splurge on a Bar- bie doll or coloring book. I’ve since grown out of my piggy bank. Now I keep an acrylic pearl. —Lori Duckwroth When my dad gets paid, Mom and I always go shopping. We go out to lunch and have a great time. —Kristi Patterson KENNEY SIGNS A FULL SERVICE SIGN COMPANY SINCE 1949 Specializing in: — NEON PLASTIC MAGNETIC — SANDBLASTED WOOD SIGNS — LETTERING AND DESIGNS -CRANE SERVICE — MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SILK SCREENING — CHANGEABLE COPY SIGNS — SALES AND RENTAL — BILLBOARDS — CUSTOM ENGRAVED SIGNS — ALUMINUM AND PLASTIC LETTERS FLAG AND ACCESSORIES Rt. 40 W.

Many students chose to take a part-time job in order to pay for these “necessities.” Fast foods restaurants seemed to be the “in place to work.

Main St., Frostburg, MD Phone: 689-8077 Showcasing many life and death struggles over the years, The Palace Theatre was engulfed in a struggle of its own. Originally known as Dreamland, a nickelodeon built in 1904, the theatre was sold by a Mr. Talbot to the Palace Theatre Company, consisting of Wil- liam and Frank Spates and Adolph Fries. The Palace gained popularity be- cause it had the facilities to present films more effectively than its rival, the Opera House. Fire burned through Kitchen’s Gen- eral Store located next door to the Pal- ace, leaving a dangerously close wall, next to the theatre. Lightning sup- posedly hit the wall, destroying it and the Palace as well. The theatre re- opened in 1927, showing feature films on a regular basis. In 1981 financial difficulties pla- gued the company, and on December 5 of that year, the theatre closed. Fond memories of the building sparked the citizens to express interest in reopening it. A group of civic-mind- ed people met in the spring of 1984 to discuss possible uses for the audito- rium. They raised questions about the value and condition of the building which contained two upstairs apart- ments and a storefront in addition to the theatre. Contractors, insurance men, an ar- chitect, a banker, and others offered their expertise. The result was the for- mation of a non-profit corporation. Citizens To Save The Palace Theatre, Inc. which secured a three-month op- tion on the building. Spearheaded by Betty VanNewkirk and aided by officers Meg Faulk, Gretchen Colvocorresses, David Linn, Dru Shriner, and Lawrence Kelly, the group began fundraising on July 1. Three months and $ 10,000 later, the Citizens met with the Spates family who agreed to extend the option and to permit use of the building for fundrais- ing purposes. November 15,16 17 the high school community became involved when language teacher Mr. John Corn- messer directed Agatha Christie’s long-running mystery. The Mousetrap to full houses. This success was partly attributed to the cast which included Mr. Commesser, students Ray Hughes and Matt Cohen, and behind-the- scene worker Jeff Schlegel. Frostburg Community Theatre which hoped to make the Palace their permanent home, raised approximately $1,000 from the production. The Palace became a community effort.

Everybody had them. Dad put Mom’s credit card on one. Sis was allowed 30 minutes on the phone and Junior could only watch two hours of T.V. All cutbacks and reforms. And America was in the ranks for a trim. When Treasurer Secretary Donald Re- gan put his long-awaited 286-page proposal out on the table it was just that. During supper parents complained about situations with Social Security, Medicare, and freezes on cost of living increases. But Reaganomics had its goal: to reduce the deficit from the current 5% of gross national product to 2% of G.N.P. in 1988. And the only way to get there was by ad- ministering spending cuts more drastic than in 1981. Tax cuts also hit home. Estimates from Secretary Regan predicted that “revenue- neutral” reform would lower taxes and 8.5 percent for individuals and increase them 37 percent for U.S. corporation. Yet some of the personal tax suggestions would hurt others. A limit on charitable contributions would probably cut overall giving. State and local taxes would no long- er be deducted from federal taxes. Reagan even proposed a 5% cut for all federal employees. In response. Energy Secretary Donald Hodel, proposed that President Reagan and his appointees also take the same cut. Despite all of the early criticisms, Secre- tary Reagan was confident that the Presi- dent and Congress would ultimately en- dorse the plan. dvertisements 181 B B Country Meats Home of Walt Engle’s Bologna Route 36 Morantown, MD 301-689-6225 Burton Mobile Home Park 101 Burton Park Dr. Frostburg, MD 301-689-3311 Bingo Frostburg Recreation and Parks Dept.

Whenever I want or need money, 1 ask my parents for it. Usually, they give it to me.” That’s mostly how it was for teens on the go. Some still received allowances but generally most students just got money when they wanted it. Junior Ruth Johnson gets $10 a week. “I think I deserve what I get. That includes my lunch money, too. With whatever 1 have left over I buy clothes for myself.” For those who did receive allowances the average was between $5 and $10 a week. In order to pocket this money, the students often helped with house- hold chores. For the girls, this included dusting, vacuuming, washing dishes, and other inside-the-house jobs. Boys, on the other hand, stacked wodd, washed the cars, and mowed the lawn. Some didn’t have to do anything for their allowance, just keep up their grades in school. Those not receiving an allowance just asked mom or dad for money when they were going out or when they want- ed to buy something. Going to the mall and taking in a movie cost a parent around $10.00 A new sweater cost $25.00; gas money, $5-$10. There were some lucky teens who had jobs. These were the independent ones who wanted to “make it” on their own. They received minimum wage which gave them an acceptable amount of money to put in their pockets and a chance to open a savings account. Money didn't really make their worlds, but it helped. A dvertisements 183 Walker’s Sky View Motel Everyone talked about being a senior. It was the last year, (easy) with only one required class, the prom, and gradu- ation. But in the midst of all the fun, excitement, and status, no one warned the class of '85 of the money involved. After class dues and activity fees were paid, the school hit her seniors with the big bill. Announcements were ordered in the beginning of November with all the money due at the time of ordering. Prices ranged from $12.50 to $60. Ex- tras like the senior key, announcement covers, and memory book, cost another $20-25. Seniors dug deeper for the $12.00 for caps and gowns. And those who were in honor society had to buy medals. Year- books, spread over five monthly pay- ments, cost $25.00. Senior pictures also broke parents’ pocketbooks. John Livengood’s parents paid over $300 for his pictures. (Of course, John had a large family.) After paying for their yearbooks and senior t-shirts, the class of ’85 found out they were in debt. They had no money towards the prom. That’s when fundrais- ing began. Seniors sold t-shirts with all the mem- bers of the senior class listed on it. Many students bought it thinking it was their senior t-shirt only to find out later that it was a fund raiser. Frantically, Tina Wilhelm, senior class president, scheduled two bake sales at the mall. Students supplied the goodies while Tina’s mom graciously sat at the mall from noon until after school when Tina and a few helpers arrived. At homecoming they sold blue and gold balloons to any one who would buy them. Then a hoagie sale, sponsored by the Eckhart Mines Deli, concluded the selling spree. The class finally had enough money to pay the debt and to pay for the prom. In May, prom goers also forked out a lot of money. Guys paid for the dance and the after-prom, besides renting a tux and buying a corsage. And girls rushed out and bought new dresses and shoes and boutineers for their dates, but prices had some couples forego the prom. For most students the senior year was fun, but for parents it was expensive. 5Vi Miles West of Frostburg on U.S. Route 40 Frostburg, Maryland 21532 689-6184 Hen House West Seafood Specialties Route 40 West Frosthburg, MD 689-5001 Portraits Anniversaries News Reunions Weddings Photos „ Phil Route i Box 95 Phil Beeman Frostburg, md Photographer 301-689-5578 .......................... w hat next? 184 ampbell 3 PT.

You know you’re not supposed to wear it in class.” Questions and comments heard the first months of school subsided during the course of the year as teachers and students realized which teenagers left school early to take part in the work force outside of the brick walls of the main campus. Most worked at fast food restaurants in the area. Cyndi Williams had a short walk to Hardees where she worked the lunch shift. She had started at $2.85 an hour and found that a 10-cent raise helped her enjoy her work even more. Since August 1984, Eric Poland worked at the Silver Leaf. “I’m a dish- washer. I run the machine and help anyone who needs help,” said Eric, who worked 33 hours every week. At $3.35 an hour, Arlean Morgan cashiered at Wendy’s. Averaging 20 hours a week, she “likes the job as I’ve been here since September.” Senior Joe Hopkins had been in the work force since June, 1982. Every day he left school to drive to the Smorgas- bord. The work study program allowed him to put in more hours which “means more money. “I have worked at five of the six jobs I’ve had during this school year,” re- ported Darren Howell. His resume in- cluded the Four Star, Rendez-vous, and Fox’s Pizza shops, and NAPA Auto, Highway Oil, and Sunoco gas stations. Using family connections, Kelly Ruby had an unusual arrangement. She left school to go home to work as she was employed by her father at Mar- shall's Welding. Two girls, Janice Carter and Mary Fitzpatrick, liked their jobs at the Frostburg Nursing Home. Janice spent three and one-half hours each after- noon at the Day Care Center. Mary volunteered in the laundry and person- nel departments. Auto-related businesses captured the interest of Steve Harden and Keith Clark. Since February 18, 1984, Steve had pumped gas and fixed tires. Keith worked at Cumberland Valley Motors. Both related to learning new skills about cars. Even though the money was an in- centive for some employees, all, includ- ing those who volunteered, felt they had learned much about the outside and the world of work.

Do you want to go to the Mall?” “I don’t have any money.” “Well, ask your mom for some.” “I can’t. She already gave me ten ex- tra dollars this week and it’s coming out of my next allowance. It was the same old story — money. Moms and Dads were tired of hearing it, and kids tried various methods to get it. Many students saved money for emergencies by taking part of their allowance and saving it in a special piggy bank. Others did odd jobs such as mowing lawns in the summer and shoveling walks in the winter. Some even resorted to cleaning the whole house for mothers and washing the cars for their fathers. And the most popular job among the girls was babysitting. For spending money on the weekends, Colette Shockey babysat two nights a week. “Two dollars an hour gave me spending money and shopping money.” Some lazies borrowed from their friends or from their next allowance. Some even bribed and threatened youn- ger brothers and sisters. Holly Inskeep came up with a new way to save money. She made and sold crafts. And what was this money spent on? Most girls bought the latest clothes, shoes, and make-up. Other teens spent it on records of favorite rock groups. Video games, movies, and McDonalds also decreased pocketbooks. Guys saved their money to take their speejal girls out on weekends. Angela Roque saved her money for birthday presents for her friends. “It seemed I was saving all my money just to buy presents.

Leisurely, they embark for the beaches, the moun- tains, and the metropolitan areas. Gateway Travel helped Sandra Knier- icm with her dream vacation. Carrying evening papers for two years, Sandy had watched her savings account grow, real- izing the trip to Hawaii. If she were suc- cessful in finding a job, she planned to stay, residing with her sister and brother- in-law. Senior Cindy McFarland left much earlier to travel across the Pacific to the Honolulu beaches. On March 12 she and her family stopped in San Francisco on their way to Hawaii. Armed with ghetto blasters, Hawai- ian Tropic, beach blankets, and plenty of cash, five senior girls left June 2 for a week at Ocean City. They split the room charge, so each contributed $75 to the $300 a week room. “I haven’t saved a penny,” said Nancy Metz. “I plan to use money 1 get for graduation.” The sunsa- tion adventure, which brought in several senior boys, brought a feverish week of soaking up the sand, riding the slides, and eating at Phillips. Two senior boys decided to save mon- ey instead of spend it. Jason Brode worked as a camp counselor at Camp Airy in Thurmont, Maryland. Bryan LaRue, who joined his parents in Orlan- do, Florida, found a job at Disney World. An increase in family awareness brought an increase in family vacations. Georgeanne Pugh visited her brother B.J. in North Dakota and Nebraska and finished her trip at a camp convention. Driving to California with her family, Kathy McKenzie, her mother, father, and brother Dennis visited San Diego and took a day to see Mexico. Michele Pegg planned a month-long stay at an Air Force base in Plattsburg, New York, and sophomore Marc Slanger disappeared for the entire sum- mer. He went to Bozeman Montana, to visit relatives. After saving money all year long, Lil- lian Lewis and Kathy Kerr took off to New York, for a month. They stayed with Lillian's relatives on Staten Island and accomplished everything from ter- rorizing Great Adventure to shopping in the city to jamming with Duran Duran at the Meadow Lands.

With a snow accumulation of over 100 inches and a wind chill factor that set new records at -95°, frustration was the feeling of the nation, Allegany County, and Beall High. During the frigid inaugural week, Robert Lata marched into the White House with the United States Marine Band and took his own tour of the premises. Lata was later found and arrested by the authorities. In Creasaptown, Vo-Tech students were privileged to be the only school system in the county dismissed early on February 5. At Beall, the main campus students slipped and slushed their way to outside modules while Eckhart Tech enjoyed the comforts of indoor classes. Plays hit The Palace. The community theater presented Mousetrap and in May the Thespian Society put on their version of You Can't Take It With You. Honor Society inductees “went through” the ceremonies in the cafeteria, while rain and snow “went through” the modules, causing tiles to fall on Mrs. Holwager’s fifth period Spanish class. The volleyball team found their knee pads had been packed away and there weren’t any poles to hold up the practice net. “Everything that could go wrong did go wrong,” stated coach Miss Chris Kreiling. losing 204 V 50 SNOW COVERED TREES and roads were the main look of Allegany County for over five months.

Two days of a windless winter wonderland allowed Frostburgers to enjoy the quiet atmosphere. Snowmen and icicles spotted the area. Mr. James Thompson warned students about snow- ball fights after school. plans put in action Renovation started. Finally. On February 4, 1985, ground breaking ceremonies took place in front of the school. Wearing hard hats, five members of the Board of Education dug through ice and snow to start off the long-awaited project. Promised completion date was August 4, 1986. The project- ed cost of renovation was estimated to be $3,895,371. With a low bid of $ 1,195,000, Pevernik Brothers of Latrobe, Pa. won the bidding process for construction. Ronald Graben- stein, building facilities coordinator, said work would begin immediately by removing asbestos and interior walls. Meanwhile, chaos still took place. Seniors were measured for caps and gowns for graduation and baccalaureate exercises to be held at FSC. Seven juniors were forced to take their SAT's earlier be- cause of the Maryland Distinguished Scholar Program. Maintenance came to fix the sky light in the gym during blistering 50° weather. When they opened the sky light, every- thing went. In the math module, students tried to concentrate on inverse proportions and square roots while custodians shoveled mounds of snow off the flat roof. “No matter what the challenge was, somehow the students and staff found a way to keep the school on target,” said Principal James Preaskom. riming up next... Renovation was scheduled to be com- pleted in August of 1986. Hopefully, school would not be as hectic with one year of the remodeling process behind. What Next?, Volume 58 of the Beall High School yearbook was printed by Delmar Publishing Company in Charlotte, North Carolina. The book used a 9 by 12 format with 208 pages. Experimenting with more graphics, the staffers pasted-up their own headlines and used more detailed layouts. Captions were printed in 8 point Times Roman. Copy was in 11 point Times Roman. Folio tabs were 12 point Times Roman with a 1 point rule and 30 point initial letter. The cover design originated from the work of four staffers in a West Virginia University Work- shop. The design used a lithograph process on a laminated cover. The 1984 First In Line received a Silver Crown Award from Columbia Scholastic Press Association, an All-American Rating from National Scholastic Press Association, and a first place rating from the Maryland Scholastic Press Association. Delmar Print- ing also published the First signature as a promotional brochure. Staff instruction included a full-year course in Year- book Journalism I and a four-day workshop at West Virginia University. The What Next? staff would like to acknowledge the following for their assistance in the publication of the book: Larry Allen, G G Studio, Ruhl’s Studio, Judy Coolidge, Patricia Filsinger, and William Payne.
