The ren- tion and students wel- ovation created a new look corned the improved and attitude around the building. GRAND Opening Twirling his hair, Dwayne Duckworth writes in his music note- book that he keeps in Mrs. Croft's class. Twirling hair is just one of many habits that students unconscien- tiously do during class. Chewing on pens, tapping feet, and staring out the windows also frequently occurred. With Mountie pride, some seniors yell and dis- play their blue and gold letters. Senior Kathy McKenzie spent two hours cutting up construction paper and cardboard to make the eight signs. De- spite all the work the sophomores defeated the seniors in the spirit con- test. Better than a prison as visitors called it and better than two schools as parents saw it. With alterations and additions completed, Beall Ju- nior and Senior High students returned to one campus. The white stucco walls had been trans- formed into white brick and gold paint. The 8:05 crowd shifted from the junior high cano- py and Coke machines to the senior high dou- ble doors and trophy cases. For the first time in two years, six grades united on the same cam- pus. The mood was not dampened by the cool temperatures and last minute construction work. Everything turned out great. Nothing, in anyone's eyes, could be finer. Opening With his noteboooks in hand, Jason Taylor gets his books to take home. The blue and gold lockers be- came a meeting place be- fore school. They served a double purpose. FINEST Quality New and confused, Beall High began an- other year. Students wandered around expres- sionless while looking for their rooms. Seniors confused the underclassmen even more by giving them help. Bear Davis spent ten minutes trying to find his study hall. A few seniors sent him to Room 216 which was on the other side of the building and was nothing but a closet. Bear walked many empty halls in his search. In the halls, the new blue and gold lockers shone. No locks arrived from the company so kids brought locks from home. Senior Home- room 230 had their lockers on the first floor which made a few upset. The students' adjustments to the lockers, rooms, and wide halls came with time. Eventu- ally everything ran smoothly.

The 1986- 1987 school year began with fewer problems than there had been two years ago. We students showed pride and enthusiasm in our newly renovated school. We had two National Merit Scholarship semi-finalists, three Maryland Distinguished Scholar finalists, and many others who were excelling in academics. The drill team sent two line officers to perform at the Aloha Bowl in Honolulu over Christmas. The spare time we had during the school year was limited. Cheerleaders stayed after school painting signs for the sports teams, and the band and its auxiliaries often practiced until dark perfecting their routines. The part-time job also took up much of our precious time. But we found the time to enjoy concerts, football games, and our friend's company. We took pride in our- selves and our alma mater. fe Student Life Division 7 Z-100 or the Outfield tape. Renee Robertson tries to decide who to lis- ten to on the trip home. She, along with thirteen other journalism stu- dents, went to Columbia University. While in New York, the students were exposed to new cuisine, music and fashion. Lined up and ready, the drill team line learns a new routine. The weath- er never cooperated with their prac- tices. The cool October temperatures make kicking hard because of the lay- ers of clothes. Wheel life As Eric Harman listens, Sheridan Whiteside, played by Ray Hughes, tells the story of the Crockfield Home for paroled convicts. Much to Stanley's surprise, several inmates later turned up for lunch. An amazing feat Holding his breath, Darin Gaynor at- tempts a 360 on Marc Slanger's skate- board. Marc used the skateboard for transportation to practices. I was just fooling around on it, said Darin. Voila, les cockroaches Playing Professor Adolf Metz, Bob Ashby displays Cockroach City, his gift to Sheridan Whiteside. The cock- roaches later escaped, throwing the Stanley household into chaos. Read all about it With Stephany Whorton looking on, the Stanley's neighbor, Michelle Ka- mauff, reads the Time story about Whiteside's stay at the Stanley's home. Neither Michelle nor Ste- phany played long parts so they ran errands for other cast members. Read the Fine Print fs AGING p A j£ZFOf HANOe They're card sharks. They're heavy drinkers. They're into music and vio- lence. They're definitely dan- gerous. No, they're not Mafia members, drug pushers or es- capees from Alcatraz. They were the cast members of The Man Who Came To Dinner. Actors and actresses in the spring three-act play escaped the pressure of rehearsals and performances by having fun. Before the first performance on Thursday, April 24, sever- al cast members attempted dangerous feats on Marc Slanger's skateboard. They soon discovered the pain ex- ceeded the folly. Jeff Schlegel rode the wheeled monster before opening night. When he fell off, the skateboard went sailing into the audi- ence and hit Palace director Betty VanNewkirk on the leg. We tried not to laugh but I turned my back and lost it! giggled Emily Smith. Backstage during perfor- mances, the cast members got restless. Michelle Kamauff and Stephany Whorton, who appeared only in the first act, took orders and then sprinted to 7-11. Slurpees and Big Gulps piled up on the props backstage. The music of Whitney Houston quietly played from a box backstage. Cast mem- bers began to sing along with the music but the stage man- ager intervened and stopped the music performance be- hind the dramatic perfor- mance. Some unlucky soul took cards one night. A setback game started, and fifty-two cards ended up being ripped in half. Acting isn't as easy as snap- ping your fingers but back- stage at the Palace is a blast. Spring Play 9l D RESSINi x O H P Put either formal or infor- mal on the paper! yelled sophomore president Jeff Colvocoresses. Since the class was split over the traditional sophomore dance, a vote had to be taken. When the results came in, a formal dance won out. Decisions. Decisions. Bright colors for girls and dark shades for the guys. The girls seemed to have the hardest. Red or blue. Long or tea-length. Ruffles or straight. Hoops or crinolines. The young ladies sorted through racks and racks of formal dresses. If I found the right color, it was the wrong size. I wanted Let's talk Since the dancing started off slowly, Krista Allen and Chris Emerick take time out to chat with Matt Eichorn in the picture line. Matt was one of the many freshmen attending the dance, with a sophomore date. Read the Fine Print Y 10 RESS a tea-length, but all I found were long, complained Lau- ra Grant. The boys called Burton's for tuxes, preferably gray or black with cummerbunds to match their dates' dresses. The suit and Miami Vice look served the same purpose. As soon as the dance be- gan, the layers came off. Jack- ets laid across chairs and high-heels were piled up un- derneath the tables. All dressed up and no oth- er place to go, the students, after the April 19 dance, went to parties hosted by friends. Dressed up or casual, the sophomores stood for class. Gimme a break Taking a break from the dancing, Doug Surgent and Shannon Ralston gather some snacks from the long ta- ble of munchies. The sophomores put much thought into what foods would be most suitable. Pretty as a picture Dressed in satin and lace, Stacie Meanyhan waits in line with her date Pat Stevens to get their picture taken. To beat the high cost of such an extravaganza, Stacie borrowed her gown from a friend. Steady step I never thought that I would get Le- roy on the dance floor. He loved it, said Wendy Leake about her boy- friend Leroy Day. Most girls spent the night dancing while their dates sat and ate. Ladies only Although dancing in formal gowns bothered some of the sophomores, Laura Grant, Krista Vought, and Shannon Ralston forgot about the hoops and crinolines to have a good time. They spent the entire evening dancing to popular music by DJ Brad Zimmerly. Sophomore Dance 11 1 ggffAfflA G £M Baseball game that after- noon, SAT early the next morning, cold temperatures, and over one hundred and fifty students wanting to get excused from school. These problems put students and administration into a frenzy. Juniors and Seniors who planned on attending the prom left school at noon. The underclassmen who also planned to go rebelled. If ju- niors and seniors can get out early, why can't we? We have just as much preparing as they do, complained Tara Davies. After discussions with administration, the un- derclassmen could leave also. Originally scheduled for 4 pm, the baseball game with Bruce was moved up to 2 pm. The team members also need- ed adequate time to get ready. The rest of the student body sat outside in the cool weath- er and wind to watch the V12 game. As the 8 pm prom drew nearer, the temperatures kept dropping. Many girls franti- cally called neighbors and friends to find a stole. Todd's mom offered me a fur before we left. I really should have taken it. It was so cold at Deep Creek Lake I thought it was going to snow, said Gina Sween as she thought back. For three hours, students jammed in the warm Lane Center before venturing home to change for the After- Prom. Wild JAMS and tank tops hid underneath layers of sweats and jackets. Leis draped the necks of the danc- ers as Q-94 played music and the temperature dropped to 32 degrees. Even though many prob- lems hampered the prom and after-prom activities, noth- ing, not even cold weather, spoiled the evening. Sitting pretty After decorating all day and dancing all night, Amy Griffith relaxes at her table. Amy left school at 8:30 am to decorate and she left the Lane Center at 4:30 to get ready for the 8 pm prom. Plop, plop, fizz, fizz Busy dropping aspirin in bottles, Maria Fautz helps prepare for the Friday prom. The wine bottles each held two red carnations which deco- rated the tables at the Lane Center at Frostburg State College.

Frost at the beach With a beach party as the theme of the after-prom, Mike Turner, Tessie Rowe, and Jeff Philips dress the part. Because of cold temperatures, stu- dents altered their outfits by wearing sweats over their Hawaiian shirts and JAMS. The sweats were soon shed as Q-94 heated up Maplehurst. Break a leg To spice up the spring production. Dawn Barmoy dances her way into the school's heart. Mrs. Mappin chose five girls to dance and sing. May Day no longer existed and no where could there be found a guy in a gray tux or a girl in a Gunne Sax. Instead, members of the ensemble danced in purple leotards and pink legwarmers. The assembly replaced the traditional May Day. The handing down of the bell from former senior class president Andy Souders to newly-elected president Chris Coleman. The bell had been passed down since 1972. The Belles and Cheerleaders also received hand-me- downs. The juniors eagerly waited for the seniors to leave the stadium for the last time. The seniors were dismissed and permitted to leave school. In a mad race, the juniors took their newly-found assembly seats. “We sounded like a herd of buffalo running down the bleachers, said Natalie Robertson, I've been waiting for years to do that. Since a baseball game had been scheduled for the same day, the players had to rush out of the stadium to the bus. Most of them dressed before, including new student coun- cil president and vice-presi- dent, Mike Fisher and John Ralston. They accepted the traditional gavel wearing baseball jerseys and hats with cut-off sweats. Another year gone meant a new one crept around the corner. The tradition of May Day had been broken but stu- dents still kept their spirits. The seniors left heartbroken but ecstatic while the under- classmen thought of it as the beginning of another sum- mer. r i4 Impatient waiting The end of school included baccalau- reate and graduation practices for se- niors. Jerry Crosby waits for the rest of his class to arrive as he thinks about his afternoon agenda.

Joe, along with many other graduates, was an- nounced for special recognition. Togetherness As the time grew near for the gradu- ates to arrive, chorus members hur- riedly took their places. Since there were so many people and not enough risers, it was a tight squeeze, Stephanie Davies said. Hesitant but eager Knowing that she is next to receive her diploma, Patti Frost, awaits her name to be announced. I was really anxious, but at the same time I was nervous, commented Patti. I was afraid that I would fall or slip in front of the crowd. Read the Fine Print Vie Major plans While watching her sister, Jill, accept herdiploma, Beth Nelson daydreams of her own graduation. Even though this will be my last year. I'm going to make it the best, claimed Beth. A TT'fNC, N £ Zt £S Red eyes. Headaches. Tired bodies. These physical ail- ments belonged to those who attended the graduation practice and students who had been to the party the night before at Tammy Win- ner's home. The body and mind were fatigued but spirit and nervousness clearly were noticeable. At 9 am, 151 seniors dragged themselves into the gymnasium at Frostburg State College for graduation practice. Tension could be seen in their eyes. To relieve the anxiety, seniors sang Happy Birthday to Dave Young. Each time Dave's Waiting in line Before it was their turn, Inger Ar- stad, Cindi Atkinson, and Steve Baer casually look for friends and rela- tives in the audience. Inger was the foreign exchange student from Nor- way. name was called everyone began to sing. The seniors who would never reveal their middle names finally 'fessed up. Some chuckled at the names of Melton, Brook, and Dorsey. Others tried to hide their can- dy apple red faces. Soon the tension ended. Graduates that needed reas- suring found out that it was all over. They clutched their diplopmas in hand and hugged their friends. After- wards the audience rushed from their seats to congratu- late the proudest alumni of Beall High. Graduation 17 ge back 0 COMFORT Beating the heat and stress of summer, most students took the summer off. Relax- ing and enjoying the summer was their main goal. The top two movies shown this summer were Top Gun and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Everyone ran to the- aters an hour early to get in line so they could get the best seats for the showing. The word went fast of how they liked the movies, so more teenagers flocked to the the- aters. Sunday night at the Clary Club — all teenagers could be found there during the summer. Saving all your en- ergy for the dance on Sunday night was the excuse students used to get out of hard v ork at home. Dancing the night away till 12 o'clock was great said many teenagers. A teen dance with no alcohol was a great idea. That's why it be- came such a hit for teen- agers, said LeAnn Zlomek. Anyone can recognize summer by the smells you have every day. Freshly cut grass, barbecues, chlorine, and suntan lotion are all a part of everyday life for a teenager with a relaxing sum- mer. The first day you step outside you know summer is starting. The sun is out and everything goes right the whole day. Swimming, the major part of summer, is what ev- eryone looks forward to. Be- cause mostly everyone knows how to swim, most people spend their whole day at the pool or at The Gap. Summer started out with all your friends meeting at The Gap for the first whole day of summer. Friendly, furry, friends While many students remained home during the summer, Tanya Fin- zel enjoys the animals at Glacier Park in Northern Montana. Tanya and her sister Patty along with their parents spent eight weeks traveling through the U.S. Some of the places that they visited included the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, and the Canadian prov- inces of British Columbia and Alber- ta. V 18 Thrill seeking Taking the first step over the edge is the scariest part in rappeling off the mountain, says Diane Riggleman. She and her mother voyaged to Sen- eca Rock, West Virginia, during the summer months to test their skills at rock climbing. Play it again Older and younger people join tal- ents to perform at the Italian Festival held in Frostburg. The Arion Band performed at many functions during the summer Brenda Anderson and Jean Close are just a few of the stu- dents who participated to keep their musical skills sharp over the sum- mer. This is summer? Summer activities include summer practices for flag squad captain Julia Purbaugh. The flag squad started practicing on August tenth to pre- pare for their first performance with the band on Meet the Squad Night. Once upon a time While babysitting at the Vacation Bi- ble School at First Presbyterian Church, Erika Bingman tells a story to some of the kids. Erika babysat for a week during June from nine in the morning until noon. It was hard trying to get up that early in the morning during the summer, but it also got me ready forgetting up early for cheerleading practices, she said. Summe 19 Pillow talk There were six people in the bed. We would sneak into each others' room at night and just goof off, said Wendy Leake about cheerleading camp. Since there were limited pil- lows, Amy Shoupe and Wendy end- ed up sharing.

The pressure was so intense. No one got to bed before one in the morning. All of these quotes are from students who at- tended some type of camp. There is a special camp for just about every student's in- terest. In March, fifteen members of Chime and Yearbook staff attended a journalism camp at Columbia University in New York City. They attend- ed classes all day and had free time in the evenings. The summer was the bu- siest time for camps. While students were supposed to be resting during summer break, some attended the dreaded camps. A week after school ended, three members of the football team attended football camp at Penn State. Brian Miller, Bill McFarland, and John Ralston spent four days in rigorous drills and mock games. While football players at- tended camp, the soccer play- ers didn't get left behind. Four members of the team went to Wrightsville for six days. In between practices, most of the guys tried to catch up on sleep. By the end of the day, they were worn out from the work. The week I spent at camp seemed like it would never end. We were so sore, we couldn't even walk to the bathroom, said Christy Carr. Trying to find time to rest in between workouts at volley- ball camp became a task. Be- sides that, the living condi- tions worsened the situation. All six girls slept in one room so that two girls wouldn't have to be separated from the other four. The athletic teams weren't the only ones that prepared for the upcoming year over the summer. No one was left out. Vivian Koch, editor of the Chime traveled to Ohio University, while seven members of the yearbook staff went to Gettysburg Col- lege to participate in a Herff Jones workshop. The drill team and cheer- leaders also ventured to camp. Cheerleading camp had its ups and downs. By the end of the week, every mus- cle in my body ached but it brought the squad closer to- gether, said Tessie Lowe. For many students, al- though camp meant intense pressure and aching muscles, the fun and togetherness made up for the work.

The sophomores and fresh- men had never seen any- thing like it and the seventh and eighth grades were scared to death. No, it wasn't an alien — it was the first day of school in the newly renovated Beall High School. The seniors who knew all about the dilapidated senior high from their freshman year had to look twice before they could believe the changes the renovations in- curred. Green drab walls had turned eye-opening yellow and torn apart lockers were brand new. The majority of the under- classmen had never been in the senior high. After all the nightmares they'd been told, they had many questions. Were there really cock- roaches? Did snow actually pile up in the windows and on the floors? The answers were all yes. Some just could not comprehend the way it used to be. As students walked into the school. Chime staff mem- bers distributed floor plans of the campus. The blue maps came in handy for those who became totally confused. My brother is in junior high and the map helped him there. He wished they had separate ones, said Amy Griffith. Although some people were embarrassed that they had to look at the maps, they usually ended up sneaking a peak some time during the day. Others were not embar- rassed at all to walk the halls with their maps in hand. Everyone had to admit that back to school was confusing in the renovated building, but it proved to be an experi- ence that no one would for- get. Wasting time Waiting for the second bus shift to arrive, Jeff Wolfe, Phillip Merling, and Eric Davidson try to occupy their time. Since the bus didn't usually get there until 3:30, most of the students walked over to Hardee's to get French fries or a drink. The worst part is standing out in the cold in the winter, said Chris Klink.

Once the buses has come to an end, Jim Miller runs started moving, students had to wait. Mr. Clean Since Mr. Cannon, like most of the science teachers, had not finished unpacking at the start of school, Chad Malone helps him out by cleaning trays. The science teachers had so much apparatus and so many chemicals that they needed to have students help them. T.G.I.F. After the first week of school, Eric Phillips and John Folk leave relieved that they made it through the scar- iest part of the year, getting used to more people and a new school. Do not walk Standing outside of the school, Jill LeMay waits for her ride home. Jill started the school year with a broken foot so she had to wait for a ride ev- ery day. She had the cast for six weeks after she broke her leg play- ing football with the guys.

Jessica's furry friend helped her with her school work all day. j v Dedicated servicemen The renovated school was used for many purposes, not only education. Former Beall High graduate John Martin holds the swearing in of his fourth re-enlistment in the arms. Does anyone have questions? Getting some help, seventh graders pile around the teacher's desk for as- sistance with their lab. Junior high school students enjoyed the build- ing's lab facilities, which meant more labs and less classwork and notes.

Students were allowed to wear shorts up to October 17 because of the good weather.

Wonderful, a muffled voice echoed from under a pillow. The student threw the pil- low on the floor. Raising his head, Marvin, the typical high school student, opened red eyes and glared at the clock. He turned the radio- alarm off and rolled out of bed into the bathroom that he had to share with his sister, Martha. Martha always hogs the bathroom, he said to himself as he tried to shave while she made herself beau- tiful. Breakfast! a voice from downstairs yelled. Marvin thought about finishing shaving but breakfast was much too important. He sprinted down the stairs through the living room into the kitchen only to find a cold blueberry Pop-Tart lying on the counter. He stared at it for awhile and then opted to get last night's pizza from Fox's and a Pepsi. With a quick dart to his room, Marvin threw on a pair of orange JAMS, an UMBC sweatshirt,and two slightly green stained Reeboks. Soon a car pulled up. The horn and the muffler let Mar- vin know that his ride had ar- rived. As Marvin got into the car, he looked around at the grim faces of his friends. I don't believe this... only 179 more days to go, he mut- tered. “UG! the moans echoed through the car. The first day of school always made it seem as if there wasn't a summer. The car pulls up in front of the old school. Marvin thinks back to the seventh grade when it all looked so intimi- dating. To Marvin the first day al- ways seemed the worst, but school had its good times; Marvin knew that, and he looked forward to the good times that school would bring. Back to School 251 On the move Since chairs cluttered the unused stage before the Air Force Band per- formed, John Ralston and Ronnie Smith volunteered to move them. The Air Force Band gave the first performance in the newly renovated auditorium. Most of the students were pleasantly surprised at the first assembly. The waiting Students and teachers wait on the sidelines to be dismissed from the pep rally. There were two pep rallies for the year — the first game against Southern and the Homecoming game. Many students wanted more pep rallies during the year. Across the road Dismissed from a pep rally, freshmen head toward homeroom. Since a few of the pep rallies lasted less than the scheduled time, students had to wait inside the school until the buses came. Mafiaettes Impersonating the Mafia at the first pep rally, the cheerleaders chant You mess with the Mounties, we mess with your face. During the football season, they tried different things to get the students involved. The first pep rally introduced all the athletic teams and opened the foot- ball season. Vie In the spotlight As the music for Find a Way begins, Joy Bone awaits her cue. Joy, along with Krista Vought and Janeen Spence, displayed singing talents in the Talent Show. Although Joy tried her best, Janeen and Krista walked away with the award. gcthackl° PERFORMANCE Will the senior home- rooms please proceed to the auditorium? This was a wel- come request to all the stu- dents who were not used to having a normal assembly. The students had become so accustomed to having the as- semblies in the gym, outside or not at all, that auditorium and assemblies virtually be- came foreign words. When students heard that the first assembly would be a concert given by the Air Force Band, they sighed at the thought of sitting through an hour of orchestra music. Well, at least it meant missing a class. Orchestra music was not on the agenda though. The band, which in- cluded three men and one woman, performed popular music. Songs such as Take It Easy, Be Good To Me, and How Will 1 Know blared in the audi- torium. Students were numbed not only by the sur- prise of the type of music, but by the loudness of it. Some clapped and sang along but some just sat back and en- joyed. Another form of assem- blies that the students en- joyed was the pep rallies. The two pep rallies started off the football season with the game against Southern and ended the season with the Homecoming game. To the delight of students, the drill team and the cheerleaders performed a routine together at both. This was a momen- tous occasion because it had never been done before. The cheerleaders also performed a usual comical skit and the spirit contest followed. There were many other as- semblies that took place in the renovated auditorium. The talent show and various holiday shows played an im- portant part in opening the new auditorium to the stu- dents. The ensemble, band, and many other groups got a chance to perform as they had before renovation start- ed. The One-Act plays were also brought back home. When renovation started, Thespian advisor Mr. John Cornmesser began to have his plays at the Palace in Frostburg. It was really nice of the community to let us use the Palace, but it is really comfortable to be back in the school, says John Corn- messer. Sometimes having the plays at the Palace be- came costly and a hassle for practices. Now each class will get to perform on the school's stage just as was done three years earlier. Although many problems arose for the arts during ren- ovation, when the new build- ing was in the spotlight the wait became well worth it.

Julia couldn't sit in her regular seat be- cause her suit wouldn't fit. She sat at a table at the front of the classroom for the whole class period. In step Despite the cold weather, the partici- pates of the Halloween Parade march on. Although Halloween fell on a Friday, the parade was held on the Wednesday before. Back in Black While waiting for her lab partner to finish using the microscope, Stacey Malone reads over her notes. A wide variety of costumes roamed the halls as a part of spirit week. Read the F me Print the £ rt of (imagination Friday, October 31, 1986, began as any other normal day. I woke up, dressed for school and went on my way. I entered the school through the same doors that I had been using since the begin- ning of the school year. As I walked into the lobby, 1 opened the doors to the hallway and there, walking down the hall, was a human- size bunch of grapes. I blinked my eyes and then rubbed them to make sure that I had really seen grapes. A vision of the Fruit of the Loom guys flashed through my mind but I said that could not be. As the grapes got clos- er I saw the face. Under all the purple make-up and bal- loons was Julia Purbaugh. As I started down the hall to my locker, a large-headed, furry thing came toward me. De- spite the dizziness that came over me, I made it to home- room. The thing that looked like a bear was following me. While in homeroom, Mr. Da- Witchcraft My nose kept falling off all day.

Walking around the halls between 8:05 and 8:20, I felt like an alien. Everyone was dressed up and they were all looking at me because I had normal clothes on. On the second floor, I ran into some drill team angels. I knew that Christmas was two months away and I could not figure out who had sent them al- ready. They must have been in school to help the JV cheerleaders who could be seen in black and white stripes as jailbirds. Others I encountered dur- ing my stroll were supernatu- ral beings, flower children, a mountaineer, and Indiana Jones. I collapsed from ex- haustion after returning to my homeroom. Then, I real- ized it was Halloween! Halloween Beauty is only skin deep While wearing his Halloween mask, Howie Platter examines slides under the microscope. Since Halloween fell right in the middle of spirit week, more ghoulies roamed the halls than any other year.

Since so many differ- ent events interfered with the week, it turned out to be an original homecoming. The major problem cropped up long before homecoming week actually started. When students real- ized that the week only last- ed two and a half days, panic struck. To make things worse, one of the days that was taken off was Friday, the day of the game. The cheerleaders and the administration decided that spirit week would start the Wednesday before the ac- tual week of the game. Wednesday was opposite sex day. Brothers and sisters and boyfriends and girlfriends exchanged clothes, make-up and whatever else they could imagine in an effort to look like one another. Luckily, Halloween fell right in the middle of home- coming week so it became a part of it. Mountaineer Day, Tug-of-War Using all his strength, Chris Loar an- chors himself to the ground. Chris was the anchorman for the freshmen in the cheerleader's game of tug-of- war. The cheerleaders got the idea while at camp. The freshmen won their game along with the eighth graders and the seniors. All-one Color Day, and Blue and Gold Day followed the agenda of dressed-up days. The shortened week didn't interfere with the hall deco- rating tradition but the ren- ovated building did. Seventh and eighth grad- ers decorated the junior high wing while the freshmen and sophomores shared the cafe- teria. The juniors livened up the senior high lobby. Since the decorations remained up during Election Day, the local voters got the opportunity to see the junior's artistic abili- ties. Outside in the stadium, seniors struggled to keep their spirits up along with their signs, streamers, and balloons that ripped with the gusts of wind. The weather was also to blame for the cancellation of the Allegany County Home- coming Parade. No rain date was scheduled. The rain dampened the ground but nothing could dampen the homecoming spirit. Homecoming Week 31 the rt of I victory First class people, a first class job, and a first class act. This homecoming descrip- tion given by Charles Lat- timer. Supervisor of Athletics for Allegany County, fit per- fectly. Mr. Lattimer appeared at the Victory Assembly that followed the win of the homecoming game. The game marked a spot in school history because it was the first Homecoming win in nine years and the first win ever in Cumberland. After the postponement of the game from Friday night to Monday night, some felt the homecoming spirit was lost, including the players. The wet, foggy weather marred homecoming week, but when the day of the game rolled around spirits began to rise. The cheerleaders traveled to Greenway Avenue Stadi- um on Monday morning to decorate. With the help of Chet Christner and Jim Mill- er, the bronze bell clanged its way to the stadium. All of this, along with the blue and gold-faced seniors leading the wave, the drill team, the band, and of course, the fans helped to lead the Mounties to a historical vic- tory. At the game, tension reigned. More than every- thing else, the players want- ed to win. Their delayed arri- val caused everyone to be anxious. When the seconds on the clock ran out, many Read the Fine Print y 32 shed tears of joy, others screamed until they lost their voices. Confusion lingered Tues- day after the victory. No one seemed to know if a Victory Assembly would take place. Finally a positive decision was made. As students began to file into the auditorium, no one knew what to expect. No student in this school had ever experienced a home- coming victory, said Coach Bill Patterson to the audi- ence. With the football players seated on the stage, the cheerleaders emerged from both sides of the auditorium chanting loudly. Mr. Leonard Ritchie appeared at the podi- um speaking these words in a deep monotone, It's been a long time. The presentation of the homecoming helmet was scheduled to follow the speakers, but there was a slight problem. The helmet mysteriously disappeared from Bishop Walsh. Students and teachers speculated its whereabouts. Finally, after nine years and a week-long wait while it was being painted, the infa- mous homecoming helmet sat in the trophy case at Beall. Homecoming sparked ex- citement and hope in every- one. After too long of a wait, students, teachers, and others tasted victory again.

One performs at half- time, the other the whole game. One is loud, the other is silent. The number of members in one triples the number of members in the other. But they have the tal- ent and the ability to do their best. And that is just what the drill team and cheerleaders do. In the past, the drill team and cheerleaders were known to be enemies. But this year the girls and their advisors wanted that miscon- ception to be changed. Drill team advisor, Brenda Luger, and cheerleading ad- visor, Nancy Cotton, arrived at the conclusion, Why don't the two groups perform a routine together? This was agreed on by all. The only problem remaining was what routine to do. The drill team got a taste of cheerleading and the cheer- leaders got a taste of drill team. They each performed the other group's routine. The moves in drill team are really different from the moves in cheerleading, said drill team member Alicia Winfield. During the first pep rally, the Belles and cheerleaders did their routine together to Great Gosh Almighty. The crowd was overwhelmed and requested them at the next pep rally. That request was answered. With their hard work and endless spirit, the cheer- leaders and belles created an atmosphere of togetherness.

The flag squad ac- companied the band during football games, competition, and parades. the rt of noise On a cold and windy night, forty-six band members stood like statues on the field. Their hearts jumped when the announcer said, Beall High Band, you may take the field for competition. With Mr. Marty Crump tak- ing over as the director, the band entered competition for the first time in years. Octo- ber 11 the band traveled to Oakland for the Autumn Glo- ry Parade. Later that evening, they went to Southern High School for the Field Competi- tion. The band captured first place in their class for the pa- rade and tied for second in the field competition. Doing well in the compe- titions really gave us a boost in confidence, said Drum Major Beth Nelson. The band also traveled to Bedford High School for the Bedford Competition. They placed third, but improved their score from the Oakland Competition. In pouring rain, the band marched in the Alsatia Mum- mers Day Parade in Hagers- town. The trombone players marched with their hands over their mouth pieces. It added a nice touch, said Ron Grove. The band added a second place from the Mummers Day Parade to their already suc- cessful season. Read the Fine Print 36 Band man While playing the Mountie fight song at the homecoming game.

Even though the number of subscriptions rose, the good old-fashioned fund- raiser played an important part in the process of paying bills and maintaining a bal- anced book. The Homecoming Mum sales went smoothly as usual and the junior journalism class pitched in and sold jew- elry to help out with the costs. The calendar sales caught on like a brushfire. A few problems had to be solved and worked out but the cal- endars containing photos of Beall High Students had ev- eryone talking and guessing about who would grace the pages. Scheduling conflicts with band, drill team, and other classes caused problems. Eight of eleven editors worked on the Chime during their free time or whenever they could. Because they were split into five different periods, the staff showed their enthu- siasm and dedication in put- ting out the award-winning newspaper.

While staff members were at camp, they also got a glimpse of the historical and pictorial side of Get- tysburg. w IDEAS At Gettysburg, Pennsylva- nia, the Mountaineer be- gan. On August 15, seven staff members traveled to camp at Gettysburg College to start working for the up- coming year. The main goal became deciding on a theme. Nothing Finer seemed to de- scribe the state of mind per- fectly. The staff members re- turned home on August 19 with a better view of the year to come—hard work and frenzied deadlines. Problems arose in every section. Jody Garlitz decided to use a sidebar in the aca- demics section. She never re- alized that using the sidebar also meant doubling her work. The sidebars pulled my section together, said Jo- die. With a new darkroom in- stalled most thought that pic- tures would be more plenti- ful. Problems became evi- dent. Experienced printers, photographers, and dark- room workers were hard to come by. The yearbook and Chime staff helped each other out by taking pictures, developing, and printing for each other. The staffs started a trend this year that I think is wonder- ful. 1 hope it continues, said Mrs. Paula Munson. After the first deadline, Tina Crowe noticed that her ad's section had thirty pages more than it was supposed to. To make up the number of pages, each section was en- larged. This change also meant that the page numbers in the opening would also have to be changed. Although many problems plagued the staff, they knew that the yearbook always stood for excellence and ex- cellence is what they strove for in this yearbook.

Rushing from practice ev- ery Tuesday and Thursday morning and then back to homeroom before the an- nouncements is something everyone in Ensemble does. Practicing during home- room before and during cho- rus classes, students learn and practice songs for the up- coming performances. Al- though the Christmas songs are sung from the beginning of school, by the end of the year the songs are at the peak of perfection. Practice makes perfect, Mrs. Mappin always says. All the practicing adds up when you hear the students' applause, says new member Chris Loar. Considering the group is a larger number this year, the voices are of good quality. You know if you do not understand a certain part of a song, Mrs. Mappin will prac- tice with you till it is done correctly, says Aaron Fike.

Howev- er because the equipment was new, most of the actors and the directors did not know how to work it. The lights turned on and off at their own will. Everyone hates making de- cisions, but it had to be done. There had to be cuts. Lists of cast members were posted and all the dramatists rushed to see if they received a part. Then came the hard work and dedication. Each cast member had the chore of memorizing his part and ad- hering to the rehearsal sched- ule. Because all three plays had to practice each night, time schedules were shuffled to try to give everyone equal time. In the end, the senior play, Anybody for Tea, came out the winner. Becky Hinkle, Eric Slonaker, Celeste La- Chance, and Jeff Colvocor- esses all won awards for their acting performances.

Just the walk from the first floor to the third can tire a person out, not to mention the fourth floor. Upon arrival home from school, relaxing is of the ut- most priority, but parents al- ways have different ideas. Washing the dishes and tak- ing out the garbage always seem to be popular parental ways of changing relaxing plans. Everyone had his or her own way of relaxing just like everyone has a different per- sonality. Joanna Martens would lis- ten to classical music.

When things started to get tough, every student han- dled it differently, but the main goal was chilling out. Relaxation Lunch periods caused mixed feel- ings about the food and the atmosphere. The hunger pains al- ways caused stu- dents to MUNCH OUT In students walking down the hall toward the cafeteria, the suspense would grow in the stomachs of everyone. Having not listened to the morning announcements, students would ask all kinds of questions on the way to the lunch room. Matt Young had his own thoughts on lunch.

Students taking classes during lunch had no such thing as lunch. Maria Fautz, a student aide for Ms. Luger, said, Lunch is a waste of 85 cents for me. I spend my lunch time in Ms. Luger's room helping her. For the gossip people, lunch was a necessity. I don't know what I would do if I didn't get to go to lunch. It's the only time I get to catch up on the latest gossip, says Ro- byn Speir. Students not hav- ing classes with most of their friends take the time at lunch to find out how their days have been or if anything new or interesting has happened. Dieting is another reason some of us skipped lunch along with saving money. Looking into future ex- penses, most students, one time or another, skip lunch to pay a debt or just to save mon- ey for going out on the week- ends. Eat to the beat Wasting time after they finish eating, John Hall daydreams while Glen Whiteman listens to his Walkman. Walkmans were not allowed during classes, but at lunch anything went. The forty-five minutes set aside to eat always left extra time for loafing. Rush hour Waiting for someone to unlock the doors, students gather around the window to see inside.

Magazine Mania The cafeteria serves more purposes than food consumption for Kevin Davis and Bobby Warner. The free time after they finished eating was spent looking at their latest rock magazines.

Weather ways Nice weather also meant going out- side for people who chose to do so. Mixed feelings about going out and staying in caused the administration to leave it up to the students. Sitting outside during lunch gave a chance to soak up rays or just breathe some fresh air.

Shopping spree Shopping at Drug Fair, Karen Rase searches for school supplies that she will need for the upcoming week. Whether shopping for something specific or just browsing, going to the malls meant having something to do and having a great place to meet new people. Night life remained a major part of high school life. Students always looked for the best ways to STEP OUT The Clary Club, McDon- ald's, and Dollar Night at the movies all had one thing in common. They became the most popular after hours hangouts for students. When school ended and all the work for the week was finished, students were ready to have fun. Homework, jobs, and extracurricular activities had most in a mad rush dur- ing the week. The weekends meant a time to unwind. Every Sunday night the Clarysville Inn sponsored an under twenty-one dance. Be- cause there usually weren't many things to do, the dance floor was always packed. With Barry McKay playing the new dance tunes, danc- ing and fun were inevitable. I love to dance and the Clary Club is really the only place for people our age to go, said Lisa Spataro. McDonald's has been a fa- vorite hangout since it opened seven years ago. Some students can't imagine life without it. After games it became crowded with Beall students and sometimes the opponent's team would also show up. Many students met friends at Mickey D's on Sat- urday nights to discuss even- ing plans, but ended up stay- ing the whole evening. The crowded parking lot some- times had to be cleared out by the managers who gave stu- dents the nickname of Beall Brats. Tuesday night became syn- onymous with dollar night at the movies. If there was no school event taking place, seeing a movie for a dollar was always a good deal. The price always assured a large crowd. After the movies end- ed, some students would play games in the gameroom or just stand outside talking with friends. Although Frostburg didn't compare with larger cities in excitement, students still found ways to have fun. Nightlife 53 Bookworm While waiting for his next class to start, Jason Corrigan catches up on reading from his textbook. The hall- ways served constructive purposes between classes also. Studying for an upcoming class or doing homework were other popular ways of taking up hall time. Hallways served more of a purpose than just a place to talk and to hold lockers. They gave students a chance to WALK OUT Riddle clues: Everyone must have it, it's used every- day, it's gold, blue, and cream. The answer: the hallways. Hallways serve an impor- tant role in students' every- day lives although most don't realize it. Everyday, the halls are cluttered with students and teachers. Students are usually playing the role of the loiterers while the teach- ers are telling them to get to class. When a student is bad, where does a teacher send him if not to the office? To the hall. When couples want to hold hands and talk quietly they go to the hallway. When friends want to hold a very confidential conversa- tion, the hall serves the same purpose. They're probably the most popular hang-out in the school - yet they are very controversial. Teachers don't like to see students standing around in the halls while stu- dents don't like to be told to leave. Besides, they shouldn't be there, and 99% of the students should be in class, said Mr. Travis. The hallways serve many purposes and everyone has his own opinions, but they always seem to be a center of attraction, especially at Beall.

Hallways re- mained the best and most favorite place for gossip. To relieve confusion Stop in the senior high lobby to look at the map of the school that Chime staff members handed out on the first day of school. Students agreed that, when it came to finding their next class, the map came in handy. Hallways 55 t The Faci: transportation Big wheels, little wheels, four wheels, three wheels and worst of all, no wheels. Transportation was a must for students and any form would suffice. 1 really hate not having the car sometimes because I have to bum a ride from someone else, said Christy Coleman, who regu- larly drives to school. Four wheels remained the most popular and widespread form of transportation. Bill Guthrie drove an orange VW until the middle of the year when he had an accident. A Volvo replaced the beach ve- hicle as his form of transpor- tation. As a combination Christ- mas and graduation present, Natalie Robertson received a 1987 Camaro. People that I hardly knew walked up and asked me if I brought 'the beast' to school that day, said Natalie. Three wheels were a popu- lar form of transportation for recreation. Year around, three wheelers could be heard rid- ing through woods and up hills.

Whenever a good snow fell Marty Winner and Ryan Da- vis could be found tracking through the snow on their bikes. I like riding my three wheeler all the time, but es- pecially in the snow, said Marty. For younger students two wheels were always better than none. Being too young to drive a car, a bike would always get them where they wanted to go. Although bike riding could also be used as a relaxing activity, it was a source of transportation. Since it's so cold in th morning, my dad drives nv brother and me to school, bu then we have to walk home, said Katrina Scott. Becausi some places are too far or toi dangerous to walk to, Mon and Dad become the chauf feurs. Not only can students fine a way, but they always do The categories of transporta tion could also be narrowee down to Fords, Hondas, 1( speeds, and last but not least Mom and Dad.

Frostburg State College serves many pur- poses in different aspects of student life. Early College programs, physical education facilities and the college li- brary helped students to learn more about what real college life was like. Jennifer Wolfe started her college career early by taking an English class after school during the winter session. Since she had been told by students that are currently at- tending Towson that their freshman English class was hard, she decided to take that class early. I tried to get an- other person to take it with me but no one would, said Jennifer. Clair Day and Bill Guthrie also participated in an early college program. They both were allowed to leave school after third period to enable them to attend classes at Frostburg State. Aerobics classes at the col- lege gave students a close and fun place to do their wor- kouts while some church league teams held practices in the gym. On the weekends a group of guys always met to play basketball for fun. Dur- ing the days when we are out of school for snow, we played basketball a lot, said Jim Miller. The weight room remained as a main attraction. Kenny Dixon lifted every day, but said he didn't really see a dif- ference for a couple of months. While Kenny's rou- tine was regular, others just used the weights when they had time. The best part of the phys- ical education building was the indoor pool. Students and faculty took advantage of the pool for exercise and just for fun. Mr. John Cornmesser tried to swim every evening to stay in shape. Frostburg State's library is the best in the area, said Mr. Kenneth Baxter. Because the public library was smaller, the facilities at the college better suited the needs of high school students. The best thing about it is that it is quiet so it's the best atmo- sphere, said John Brode. Frostburg State also sup- plied jobs for students and their parents and provided an inexpensive place to go to college. Through its many numer- ous and varied facilities, Frostburg State College proved to be a center for Frostburg life. College Influence 59 Laughing in the face of lunch Passing time during lunch period, Betsy Kallmeyer, Dana Williams, Mary Edwards and Alicia Winfield laugh at each others jokes. On Mon- days, students spent lunch catching up on news, gossiping with friends and generally taking a rest before getting back into the school routine. association Stretching to hit the snooze button for five more minutes of sleep, you realize it's Monday morning. Trying to get into the swing of things after a long weekend takes forever. Laying in bed knowing your alarm will be going off you dread getting up. Once up, the problem is to stay awake. For some students, such as Batina Cuthbertson, getting up is the easiest thing in the morning rush. My mother and father both work so when I get up I have to get my brothers up and fix break- fast for them as well as get- ting ready myself, says Ba- tina. HASSLE describes Mon- day mornings for everyone. Catching up on the home- work you did not get done over the weekend and pre- paring your schedule for the week to come are thoughts that flood everyone's head when the buzzer goes off Monday morning. The week seems so long and it will be forever before it is over! At last Friday. At 3:05 stu- dents rush everywhere, catching up with their friends to make last minute plans for Friday night. It's a mad rush of students, teach- ers, busses, and cars all trying to get out of the school park- ing lot. Distracting thoughts of weekend activities corroded the minds of students during seventh periods. Having art seventh period is great be- cause she lets us clean up ear- ly, said Tricia Fadeley. Teach- ers sensed this but they really did not pay attention, be- cause they too looked for- ward to the two-day rest. When the announcements ended, the mad scramble be- gan. Often teachers overran students scrambling to then cars and were seen speeding away. It's a change of pace,” said Mrs. Keller. After school Friday, students and teachers left school quickly, not look- ing back, striving to prove that there are other things in life besides school. Another hour During their precious lunch time, Tammy Bittinger, Tina Bittinger and Mary Ann Condon chat on the se- nior high steps. After lunch they en- joyed the fresh air and sunshine, but rainy days and Mondays always got students down. Morbid Monday Morning Before first period, Lisa Caton glances down the hall. Going to school on Monday mornings was de- pressing but once everyone got into the move of things it was easier. Try- ing to remember a locker combina- tion after a long weekend always seemed to be a task. Chet Chat Spending the remainder of lunch- time, Chet Christner and Jim Miller usually hang out in Mrs. Munson's room on Friday afternoons. Chime staff sometimes chose to spend lunch upstairs, to work on a paper or to just talk. Break away Resting after a hard basketball prac- tice on Friday afternoon, Jennifer Snyder listens to Coach Hennigan. People who played sports are among the most happy people on a Friday afternoon because they wouldn't have practice for two days. Because the girls' basketball team had most of their games on Monday or Wednes- day, they almost always had practices on Saturday mornings. Monday Morning, Friday Afternoon 611 Pointing out the facts Beall wasn't left out of the Just Say No era, when they had Lynn Fogel- son speak at an assembly. He repre- sented the United States Navy and spoke to the student body for about two hours, an hour longer than ex- pected by the administration. After he finished speaking, he gave the students a chance to ask questions. INFORMATION The 'Transeam reigned as the major news story throughout the year. Hardly a day passed when the televi- sion could be turned on with- out hearing about Oliver North, Robert McFarlane, or John Poindexter. The details of the arms sales to Iran were sketchy and it seemed no one would ever know the truth. While major officials evaded the press about Iran, hostages were taken almost daily by various terrorist groups in Lebanon. Most were returned in exchange for other hostages but the question of the morality of the exchanges lingered. In February of 1987, the U.S. government decided to no longer give passports to peo- ple wishing to go to Lebanon and American citizens living in Lebanon were ordered to leave. Terry Waite, the Anglican Church envoy, traveled around the globe trying to negotiate the release or ex- change of hostages when he himself was taken as one. He Read the Fine Print V fO has yet to be released. Locally, William Donald Schaefer, mayor of Baltimore, was elected governor of Maryland. He took his oath of office in January and a general feeling of change for the better overcame every- one. On February 10 the Gov- ernor and Senator Paul Sar- banes paid a visit to a class at Washington Middle School, showing residents of Western Maryland that the Governor thought more of the area than most others had. The news that the Kelly- Springfield plant would be closing in June of 1987 crushed everyone. The time for the closing was inevitable but that didn't make the shock any less real or intense. Families that had lived in the area for years started making plans for a transfer while oth- ers began looking for jobs in other areas. Experts and resi- dents speculated as to the the effects it would have on the area from all aspects. Nearly seventeen hundred jobs would be lost by the devastat- ing move. Westvaco's two hundred million dollar expansion plan and the Kelly's decision to keep the area corporate management offices open shined a little light on the economic depression, but still, the effects were appar- ent. After thirty-five years in business, Griffith's clothing store closed its doors. To cele- brate Allegany and Fort Hill High schools state football play-offs and to boost com- munity spirit, a combined pep rally was held for both schools. Over seven thou- sand Cumberland residents attended the games. The Statue of Liberty got a facelift so everywhere there could be found a pin, coin, or a magazine with her face on it. Hundreds of thousands of people traveled to New York City to celebrate the unveil- ing of the Lady and to cele- brate the fourth of July. Just Say No could be heard at any time, either on the radio or on the television. It seemed that the campaign against drugs gained power, leaving no adolescent, child, or adult without the knowl- edge or the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Nancy Reagan was the spokeswoman for A Generation at Risk while the president tried to allot funds to pay for an anti-drug cam- paign. The program was se- verely reduced in the Presi- dent's 1987 budget because he believed that the states should pay for the program. The fear of AIDS plagued the thoughts of everyone. Films about the disease were shown on television and to students in the schools. There was no cure and it was not only limited to the homosex- ual population and to drug users. Awareness on the part of the people was demanded. Whether on the national or the local level, news affected students in some ways. The Kelly closing remained in the thoughts of everyone, while other things sometimes seemed unreal to the school- age group. Fateful farewell After many years of business, a local favorite clothing store, Griffiths, goes out of business. The store going out of business showed many area residents that the local economics system was seeing the effects of the closing of the Kelly-Springfield plant. The Kelly - 1987 A view of the Kelly-Springfield from an airplane. The plant was closed in 1987 costing the area six- hundred jobs and affecting students tremendously. The lingering ques- tion of the ripple effects of the clos- ing disturbed the community. NOTHING Sports Fierce competitors. That's what we are and we let the area know about it. Volleyball, soccer, and baseball ex- celled in regional playoffs. Five games into the football season, the team amassed one-hundred and forty points to their opponents twenty five. Even though injuries took a toll on the second half of the season, the football team won the first homecom- ing game in eleven years. Friendships had to be put second because the team came first. Brian Duncan and Randy Miller became en- emies on the soccer field. Everytime Valley and Beall met, Brian and Randy had to put their friendship on hold. Hoping to do better than last year's third place in regionals, the girl's volleyball team traveled to Fort Hill gymnasium to take on Northern, Mt. Savage, and Valley- Bruce. They took an impressive 7-2 record into the play- offs. Competing with new enthusiasm and playing in a newly revamped gym, the team proved to us that spirit was alive and well in Frostburg. Read the Fine Print r64 Trying to break a Valley-Bruce tackle, Chris Emerick uses his fore- arm to push to the first down. Emerick, a sophomore, excelled as a tailback during this home game. He rushed for 186 yards while leading the Mounties to victory. Somber then psyched, the Beall High soccer team prepares to take on Oldtown at home.

It seemed that you could almost tell who would win the game ahead of time by who made the mistakes. When the Mounties lost, there always seemed to be an error behind it and many times an error was the cause of Beall's oppo- nents losing. The Mounties used walks and opponents' mistakes along with an occasional hit on the way to a record season. They also relied on the strong pitching from Bob Hilderbrand, Cum- berland Times Player of the Week Mike Turner, and Andy Souders to keep the other team's bats quiet. For the offense, Andy Souders led the team in hitting while Mike Turner and John Ral- ston each had home- runs. At the end of the year, Beall had earned the right to play in the play- offs against Clear Spring. The Mounties avenged an 11-1 loss in last year's play-offs by defeating Clear Spring. The team managed to put together the right amount of hits, walks, and opponent's mis- takes to get almost to the top. EYES ON THE BALL, Mike Fisher swings and makes con- tact.

Baseball 671 Garde Rain, sleet, snow, cold temperatures, prac- ticing inside, and serves being killed by the wind. Believe it or not, these are examples of some of the things the 1986 girls' tennis team dealt with for most of the season. Holding practices inside the ju- nior high gym because of bad conditions be- came the usual. The gymnasium was warm but sometimes a little dangerous. Accidents, while practicing in a small area, can and will hap- pen. On one occasion, Janeen Spence, who was standing on the line, was hit in the mouth by a yellow fuzzy tennis ball. It hurt! My lips swelled up only two seconds lat- er. I couldn't even speak. Games must be held outside regardless of the rain, wind, and ... The first game of the season brought high winds and freezing rain.

Coach Payne finally made his decision of who would participate in the match. The Stevens brothers, Pat and Scott, were chosen by Coach Payne because of their rank on the team. ACC held the county match on their campus. As the match got under- way, both Pat and Scott were eliminated in the first round. Other team- mates played and got eliminated in the first round also. The other participants of the match consisted of Jeff Colvocoresses, Jim Har- ris, Mike Smith, and Randy Olsen. The team did not have a very good year, but it was the pride of their school that kept them going no matter what. CAUGHT OFF GUARD, Doug Surgent tries to regain his bal- ance.

Six of the girls gave up their last week of summer to attend vol- leyball camp at the Uni- versity of Delaware. It was fun but it was a lot of work. states Gina Sween. The work paid off with the girls boasting an 8-2 record in regular season and defeating Northern in the post season play to place sec- ond in the regionals. Experience — no problem. Christy Carr and Georgeanne Pugh each started the season with three years experi- ence. Gina Sween, Re- nee Robertson, and Jan- een Spence all had four years along with Lisa Mundie, who had five years of play. Each of the six girls had been start- ers for at least 3 years. It helped having that many people who have played four years because we learned how our teammates worked and that way we were able to work better together, com- mented Janeen. On several occasions faculty members Bill Payne, Carole Helmick, and Coach Chris Kreil- ing assisted the jayvees in scrimmaging the var- sity team. I think it helped the relationship between faculty and players, said Christy Carr. A little relaxation never hurt anyone. On bus rides to away games and in the locker room before home games the girls listened to lots of music on their boom boxes. The Pointer Sis- ters were the favorite. When the games started the fun was over and their minds were focused on one thought: victory. There were times when frustration and exhaustion dimmed the hopes of the team. But the girls knew this was their best chance to go all the way.

The team wanted this season to be better than any before. But this goal, along with the goal of making it to the playoffs, unfor- tunatley fell through. First it was Brian Miller, the star tailback, at Hampshire. Miller suffered an extremely bad broken ankle which put him out for the rest of the season. Next came Chris Emerick, Bill McFarland, and Gary Taylor. Emerick, a fullback, received a sprained ankle during the Keyser game and McFarland tore knee ligaments in the same game. Losing the first string quarterback for three games was a tough situ- ation. The Mounties pulled through with Matt Eichhorn as quar- terback. We were beat- en, bruised, and on crutches and still didn't have enough, said Wayne Seifarth of the squad. The team started the season with great ex- pectations. They were picked to win 6 out of 10 games. The team will lose nine seniors and nine starters. But as for next year, no one worries be- cause as Mr. Ritchie says, We bend, but nev- er break. dv • V WHILE QUARTERBACK Bill McFarland holds the ball in position, Brent McKenzie kicks for an extra point in the third quarter of the Valley game.

Football 77 VICTORIOUS No student in this school had ever exper- ienced a homecoming victory. — Coach Pat- terson. But 1986 became the year to make this statement false as the Mounties came home from Cumberland with a 14-6 homecoming vic- tory over the Bishop Walsh Spartans. With the nine-year losing streak finally broken, the entire Mountie pack had good reason to cele- brate. Homecoming week itself ran a strange course. The two and-a- half-day week held the usual preparations such as decorations, dress-up days, and painting post- er after poster. The pep rally had many perfor- mances and was very successful. At the finish of the pep rally, the stu- dents, the team, and even the parents were psyched — psyched un- fortunately for a let down. On Friday, November seventh, the football fields resembled swamps as the rain con- tinuously fell. But the excitement and hopes of the students became literally washed out as the game had to be res- cheduled for Monday, the tenth. The team, mad enough to eat nails, be- gan to load their bus. A time mix-up with the buses forced the players to warm up on their own field. Since there were no lights on in the stadium, the team had to improvise. Coach Pat- terson used the head- lights of his jeep to light the dark field. The game, dedicated to Brian Miller, who broke his ankle in the second game of the sea- son, will not soon be forgotten. Beall's secret weapon Jim Wellings proved to be a great one. Wellings, named the of- fensive player of the game, had only one thing to say, I knew we were going to win. The defensive players of the game were Jeff Phillips, tackle, and Dennis Clark, a tackle and de- fensive end. Despite the teams ar- rival five minutes be- fore kickoff, Beall took their coaches' advice, When you hit the field, you'd better explode! They did, — with 4:16 left in the quarter. Bill McFarland, returning from a knee injury, handed the ball to se- nior Dave Wiemer who rushed thirty-nine yards for the touch- down. A pass from McFarland to John Ral- ston added two points. Beall led 8-0. Halfway through the second quarter Dave Wiemer was knocked out of the game. He was taken to Memorial Hos- pital because of a sus- pected concussion. Nevertheless, Beall, led by Jim Welling's run- ning, pushed onward. McFarland then hit Frank Duncan with a short four-yard pass with only two seconds left in the second quar- ter the kick for the extra point failed. Halftime. Beall held Bishop Walsh to a single touch- down in the third quar- ter. As the seconds of the last quarter ticked away, the atmosphere in the Beall stands was electric. Fans rushed out onto the field to con- gratulate the team on a 14-6 victory. Leroy Day was so happy that he picked up his girlfriend and kissed her and then later gave Ralston a vic- tory smooch. Every- one, even people I didn't know were hug- ging me and kissing me, said Dennis Clark about his walk to the bus where the football team began celebrating. GOING THROUGH HEAVY TRAFFIC for a pick up of six yards, tailback Dave Weimer moves onward.

They previously lost three senior girls but the new girls team came back to pick up second place in the championship. New members Lorrie Race, Jason Ritchie, Billy Pifer, Tom Skidmore, and Julie Lloyd all proved worthy players. The new members turned out great begin- ning records.

Bowling 81 After having the best record in the history of volleyball at Beall, 7-2, we not only expected to do fairly well in region- al, but we were confi- dent we were going to the state competition. We had all become very close, and we had the confidence in each other. Our 4th place seed handed us our greatest and most an- ticipated challenge of the year, a last chance to beat archrival Mt. Sav- age. For the five seniors, it was the last year of a 4- year battle against Sav- age. Also, due to possi- ble consolidation, this may be the last year that Mt. Savage is an oppo- nent. In our two long games against Mt. Sav- age, both teams fought extremely hard. If there would have been such a thing as a champion- ship match, that would have been it. It turned out that Beall lost 12-15 in both games. All faith was not lost yet, but chances were slim that Northern or Valley would beat Mt. Savage. Our next match was against Northern. We ended up splitting, each winning a game. In the first game against Northern we had to pick ourselves up. Now we were exhausted, but we still had one more match to play since Val- ley beat us in regular season. We had to be psyched for our last two games. Valley should never have beat- en us in regular season, and we proved it at re- gional by coming away with two well deserved victories. After the sweat and hard work, we were proud. The standings resulted in Mt. Savage on top, Beall and Northern sharing second and Valley fourth. In each match, we had the better team. Mental errors in key sit- uations cost, but Miss Kreiling never gave up on us so we never gave up on ourselves. Al- though we finished sec- ond, we succeeded be- cause we gave it our all and had a great time do- ing it. — Gina Sween GINA SWEEN LEAPS to ex- ecute a beautiful kill against Northern at the Regional match.

It was hard to imag- ine that, depending on the outcome of the match, the season could be over tonight. There's no tomorrow, were the words from Coach Ritchie's pre- game speech that stuck in mind. This thought made my stomach churn and I could sense the rising tension. When the match began, however, I started thinking more about the game than anything else. Still, the thought of No tomor- row echoed in my mind. This thought kept me going even though the air was cold and I wasn't feeling well. Soon the feeling was gone. But then Coach picked me for the pen- alty kick — the feeling returned. Before I even got close to the goal, I de- cided to put it in the right corner on the ground. I practiced pen- ality kicks everyday so it didn't seem any more important than at prac- tice until everyone started yelling and cheering. Mt. Savage scored right after I did which was a let down. I was really tired and I was happy all we had to do was kick. Darin kicked first and made his. Then I stepped up and . . . it's really hard to make two penalty kicks off the same goalie. I de- cided to kick to the cor- ner. Their goalie knew where I was kicking and he dove and punched it. After Mt. Savage made kick number seven, I congratulated the other team and walked down the field to meet my parents. As an individual I knew I had done my best so I didn't feel that bad because penalty kicks are no indication of a team's ability to play soccer. — John Brode o n ‘ 'A.

I love to play (basketball) said Eric Patterson. It feels great to be back! Trying to learn new plays and new moves was tough. Once we got into the swing of things it was smooth sailing, said Mike Turner. It wasn't just tough for the team, the coach had it rough too. Adjusting to the players and trying to break their old habits were just two of the many things that Coach Arm- strong had to worry about. Eric Patterson leads the team with 206 points and a free throw percentage of 85.2%. Coming in second, Mike Turner has 171 points and a 73.2% free throw percentage. Leading the team in steals and assists is Darin Gaynor. Turner holds the most re- bounds while Patterson runs second. After winning the championship for the two previous years, the team lost The Frankfort Invitational Christmas Tournament by two points in overtime to long-time rivals the Val- ley Black Knights.

Heartbreakingly close games filled the team with tension and left those on the side- lines holding their col- lective breaths. Some games going into over- time disappointed the team as they fell just short of victory — so close, yet so far. Still, the team's work paid off as the wins soon outweighed the losses. As part of their formula to defeat their opponents, the team met at Coach Henni- gan's house to watch videotape of previous games, studying what they did wrong and what they should have done. Despite their trou- bles, humor helped the team keep going as they clowned around during games and practice. While a group picture was being shot. Tracy Skidmore had problems with part of her uni- form staying in strate- gic place. J.V.

No one really knows how they start or why. But for the wrestlers, they seem to work. We're very supersti- tious, says wrestler Jeff Phillips about the team. The guys do little things to ensure good luck at matches. One point of interest is their uniforms and what they wear under them. Every other match, the entire team wears the same type of underwear, whether they wear box- ers or other types. The wrestlers also keep the same t-shirt over their uniforms as they started with at the beginning of the year, such as the Wrestle With the Best shirts. On their feet, team members prefer blue and white ultraflex as the wrestling shoe of choice. Wrestlers also have their favorite wrestling music.

Habits in Avoiding the watchful eye of Mr. Wil- liam Determan, Brian Thomas slips a note to Matt DeCarlo. Communication was difficult when silence was expected during the middle of Physical Science class. Communication. It is the way a person lets someone know how they feel, what they are thinking, or what knowledge they want to share. When there is a lack of it, the results can be arguments, disagree- ments, and ignorance. Both teach- ers and students use notes as their means for communication wheth- er it would be on paper or on a chalkboard. Everyone is constantly searching for new, interesting, and creative ways to make their notes much better. For students, most of the time it is trying not to get caught in the act of writing or passing notes. You need to be fast to get by a teacher lead the Fine Print V 102 because they are so suspicious, stated Jason Bollinger. It takes a lot of people to get a note from one person to someone else on the oth- er side of the room, said Sandy McKenzie. That is a lot of chances to get caught. In a teacher's fight to keep the attention of the class, new ideas are developed for being creative with notes. Tm going to try handing out typed note sheets instead of putting it on the board. I think it will sink in better that way, said Mr. Hopcraft. No matter what kind of notes students use they still could not get through the day without them. During fifth period, Amy Derezinski and Jennifer Hosken take notes while Jennifer Drees uses the platform balance. Jennifer will copy the notes later after she weighs the liquid. During his lab class, Mr. Kenneth Metz explains the notes on the board. The students could do the labs better with some extra notes given to them to explain all the vocabulary. Talking to her class with hand gestures, Mrs. Linda Croft explains some key people in music history. Mrs. Croft tried to find new ways to explain as to keep the students' attention. Sleeping, dozing, or just staring off into space. At this point the teacher wonders if what he is doing is sinking in. The teacher's purpose is to share the knowl- edge they have with the class. Notes are the best way to study for a test since they can be looked at time after time. Finding new interesting ways to present notes is a never-ending battle. Teachers try to come up with new styles every year. Mr. Lon- nie Nixon acts out parts to grab the attention of the class. The main goal of all teachers is to make the class pay attention and understand so they learn the material given to them. ---------------------i---------------------- LOOK AT In Mrs. Knippenburg's fourth period science class, Jenni- fer Schrock listens to her classmates and prepares to copy the data for the lab. The labs usually lasted only one class period. om. MM - iiijm L Equipment wears out, gets broken, be- comes outdated, starts to look bad, begins to work poorly and slowly becomes useless. So when new equipment arrived along with ev- erything else new, lab science teachers were well pleased. The pan and triple-beam-balances Mr. Metz used in his earth science classes were nearly to the point where they no longer served their purpose. The arrival of new balances meant much easier teaching and learning during the metric weight and measures unit. Twelve new microscopes were sure to get much use in biology and advanced biology classes. They are a necessity for many experi- ments and teachers as well as students were glad to see them replaced. Labs would now run a little smoother with the help of the new equipment. IF ad the Fine Print 104 Sipping his concoction, Steve Knierium tastes the hot chocolate he made during chemistry.

Drafting was offered as a one year class instead of one semester as before. Yuk! The rank smell of formalde- hyde would once again sicken stu- dents. Odd smells produced from chemicals were soon to drift through the halls. Labs were back. For two years students missed out on the fun activities and infor- mative labs that science, shop, and other teachers use to provide dif- ferent settings of learning. Every- one learns much more when you can actually see something happen instead of just hearing a teacher tell you about it, said Aaron Fike. So with new ideas in mind, teach- ers now faced the task of getting the materials, supplies, and equip- ment out of storage and organized for the first year back. Mr. Cannon felt that his chemis- try classes had suffered the most during the renovation period. Since the newly remodelled che- mistry physics labs nearly elimi- nated safety problems, Mr. Cannon plans to give his students much more hands on experience. Psychology classes continue to do projects and experiments. Pro- jects like the surveys make class enjoyable and gives students something to look forward to in- stead of just book work and taking notes. So that is what it is all about. Trying different techniques to get the message of learning across to the class. 105 Going for it all, Alan Harper tries as much as possible on the Macintosh at Vo-Tech. Alan took several com- puter courses to help him in college. Vo-Tech was the only place for Beall students to have formal instruction. LOOK AT tti big mm! Decisions. With the future in mind, Alan Harper made his decision to attend Allegany County Vo-Tech. He is enrolled in his second year of computer technology. The main goal of the course is to prepare a student for a ca- reer in computer programming. Job entry lev- el skills are taught in data processing with study or several different programming lan- guages such as Basic, Fortran, and Cobol. By having hands-on use, students can become familiar and competent with computer sys- tems currently in use in business today. An- other important purpose for the classes is to get a head start for college. Some of the courses in college will be a repeat of what is offered at Vo-Tech. So Vo-Tech will help pre- pare students for college and the rest of their life.

These Apple Mac- Intosh computers came from the Board of Education with a directive that classes on computing are to be initiated within two years.

Cramming becomes a part of students lives when they forget to study, don't have time to, or just don't feel like it until the day before a test. Don't tell me you don't have any home- work, stated Mr. Bill Orndorff. He feels that if a person looks over his notes quickly every night, and thinks about what the teacher might ask on a test the next day, there will be a great improvement in grades. But advice like this nev- er sinks in. Everyone thinks they have developed new ways to learn the material very quickly in one or two evenings. The thing the stu- dents don't realize is they're trying to pull off the same stunts that Every last minute counts when studying for an Algebra test. Christy Campbell used the extra ten minutes on the bus ride home to get a head start on the work she had to do that evening.

Hundreds of cases of test shock are exper- ienced every year. The hour spent trying to memorize notes was use- less. What they thought they knew, they didn't and they are haunted by a poor test grade for the entire nine weeks. Year after year after year it doesn't change. Because of lazi- ness, mixed up priorities, or other reasons, when cramming takes the place of hours of study, the results show up on report cards, hurting the student for much longer than he thinks. Needing a few extra minutes to learn the speech for English, Bob Hilderbrand and jason Taylor use the time between classes for last minute studying. Everyone faces a deadline at least one time or another, but both the staffs of the yearbook and the Chime have more of them than most people. It's very much like the eye of the hur- ricane. Deadlines bring many last minute ad- justments and always many crises. Everyone likes to take pride in what they do. The work that a student does on the staff of a student publication shows the pride that they have in their school. Tragedy fills the air because evervone is in a hurry to get things done on time. The last thing anyone wants to do is miss a deadline. Usually the missing of a deadline means extra time, effort, and lots of wasted money. Most students sav they work better under pressure. Teachers disagree. Just ask any pub- lication staff member and you will find that I sometimes, no matter what, making a dead- line can be a Mission Impossible. Putting the finishing touches on his page, Eric Slon- aker hurries to meet a deadline. Chime staff members spent many long hours to get things just right. Cramming 109 Machines may be in shop classes or in the office. But in the library? Of course. Everyone knows and loves the TV and the VCR. Classes watch educational and enlight- ening tapes and documentaries. Biology classes watched a National Geographic show about Mangrove Swamps. Some teachers give their students a chance to watch films in class to give them a break from their daily routine. The library has a big supply of filmstrips for nearly any subject. Teachers showing a filmstrip to their classes or students looking for information use the film projector or the viewer to see them. Usually students also used a tape recorder for audio accompani- ment. Besides tape recorders, record players also come in handy, whether sophomore English classes listen to Julius Caesar or the juniors listen to Poe. Even psychology students used them when some students gave a project on Satanism in rock. People usually only think of the books in the library, but machines in the library give everyone in the school good tools for learn- ing and fun. During study hall, Teresa Eisle and Me- linda Schrock listen to Mrs. Determan explain how to use the COIN system. The microfische reader is one of the many li- brary machines available for student use. Like many other students, Mike Jones used his own time to use the many re- search materials available in the Junior High library. Mrs. Pittman was always ready to help in any way she could. Swimming, vacationing or just soaking up the sun. That is what most faculty members were doing but not Mrs. Rosa Pittman or Mrs. Julie Determan. They were busy at work in the libraries struggling to get them ready for the upcoming school year. Despite small problems like no furniture, which delayed the Se- nior High library's opening, both libraries became important places for students to meet and get infor- mation. Classes meet in the library to learn its uses. Each year, sopho- more English classes take a week to learn about the reference materi- als. Learning how to use the infor- mation in the library gave them an important lesson that would stay with them throughout school. Various groups invaded the li- To complete her research project in Eng- lish, Kara Pennington comes to the li- brary during lunch period. The resource books were always easy to find, understand and use. brary to use the VCR and TV to watch tapes important to their class or just for fun. Science classes got a chance to watch various na- ture documentaries taped from PBS. In Mr. John Cornmessor's French classes students watched historical dramas about the French Revolution as well as the classic movie Joan of Arc. Most students try to make good use of the information in the li- brary. Sophomores studying Shakespeare go there to get infor- mation for their projects. Anyone needing to research a paper or a project can find all the help they need. No matter what students use the library for, both the junior and se- nior high libraries remain a place to learn. Library 111 Taking Mr. Travis' notes from the board, Laurie Thom- as tries to keep them in order. The help she received from Mr. Travis helped greatly. How good are we? The results from the two newest Maryland Functional Tests seemed good. Actually, they were great. Most found the hardest part of the writing test to be getting an idea for the paper subject in the short amount of time given to do so. The test consisted of two paragraphs: one de- scriptive and one narrative. Mrs. Paula Munson focused much of her freshman English classes practicing for the test. The practice paid off because Beall re- ceived an 87% passing result. Fifty multiple-choice questions about gov- ernment and laws made up the Citizenship test. Gary Davis and Tim Travis spent almost the entire first semester using a different text- book to prepare for the tests. The new additions to the Functional Tests were not as bad as the students expected them to be and most did not mind taking them after all. [.ead the Fine Print V112 Concentrating on the Citizenship Test, Dave Jenkins answers the fifty multi- ple choice questions. Being the newest of the tests, it still needed refining. Improvement was what the State Department of Education had in mind as they were developing the functional tests, now being given to freshman. The class of 1988 was probably the first to realize that the tests were for real. They faced hav- ing to pass Math, Citizenship, and Reading tests. They also thought they needed to pass the writing test. Those who did not do well were glad to hear the writing test did not count, and that it was going to be removed from everyone's per- manent records. A case was pend- ing in court with a group of vale- dictorian students from down state suing the Maryland Department of Education for an unfair test. That has got to be the most ridiculous thing I have heard this year, said Donny Carter. Problems definitely do exist with the new tests. One thing is that these tests are newly made up and have not been used before. It's totally different from something like the California Achievement Tests which have been given for many years, stated Mrs. Dana George. However counselors feel that as they are given more, the problems can be alleviated and an accurate test will emerge. When everything does work out, the functional tests can prove valuable in finding out where the problems in education are today and arouse measures to make need- ed improvements. k The Functional Reading test was given during first period. This left Mike Smith and Jason Taylor in homeroom for over an hour. Practicing writing from a prompt, Melis- sa Albright and Bear Davis finish the English assignment, on time. Functional Tests 113 The short end of the stick. That is what the freshman knew they would be getting. By the time they were sophomores, they knew they would be facing a challenge. Students listened in dismay as Mr. Bill Orndorff explained the new graduation requirements. The specific credit requirements fora Maryland High School Diplo- ma changed from the old: 4 Eng- lish, 3 Social Studies, 3 Math, 2 Sci- ence, and 1 Physical Education to the new system which includes an additional credit in Fine Arts which is Art, Dance, Music, or one in Industrial Arts which includes Home Economics, Vocational Edu- cation, or Computer studies. Those who graduate in 1988 will do so with a sigh of relief, knowing that they barely escaped the tough- ening of standards for diplomas. The fact that at least 4 credits must be earned in grade twelve could cause problems for or even eliminate Work Study. Along with the list of new re- quirements came suggestions for classes dealing with computer use and programming, and thinking skills such as gathering, organiz- ing, and analyzing information. The class of 1989 can look back and be glad improvements were made in the system. Read the Fine Print y ii4 Making sure the students take the classes they will need, Mrs. George makes ad- justments to student election sheets. Knowing that next year would be her turn, Katie Roland helped at the gradu- ation exercises by aiding Mr. Preaskorn in handing out diplomas. Diplomas were pre- sented to all Seniors who met the require- ments. During lunch time, Jessica Winebrenner gets caught up on her Certificate of Merit work. Mr. Ken Metz required extra work to be done from a different text book to meet the science merit requirements. LOOK AT UMe deoMlou Everyone played an important part. When the huge success was realized, the Allegany County Guidance Association knew that the hard work involved in sponsoring Tri-state College Night had paid off. When students were needed to move and set up 100 chairs and tables from Fort Hill for the program, in came Mr. Bill Orndorff with a group of students ready and willing to work. Mrs. Patricia Filsinger used her artistic ability to make identification signs which helped a great deal in cutting down on confusion. Mrs. Eunice Baker and her cafeteria staff spent several extra hours preparing a dinner for the 135 representatives from all of the schools present. Honor Society and Usher's Club members served as guides for the huge crowd, greatly cutting down on confusion. Everyone worked together as a great team with each individual playing an important part in making this year's College Night a Getting the gym ready for Tri-State College Night, Darin Gaynor, Ronald Smith, and Brandon Bear Davis set up several hundred chairs brought in from Fort Hill. Graduation Requirements 1151 Taking advantage of the wealth of infor- mation available at College Night, Erica Gillespie went over to the Junior High gym to speak with the representative from the U.S. Navy. All of the armed services were present. E, H=J Through -------------1 — -itrades Nothing to do. That's what stu- dents think Honor Society does. But Honor Society is not just an organization for smart people: it also helps the school in certain functions. Another way Honor Society helps is that they do the Honor Roll Board. Although a tradition for Honor Society, the school could not get by without the annual dis- play of the Honor Roll. Along with Honor Roll, certificates made by Michelle Kamauff are distributed each nine weeks. During the Open House, Honor Society members led people on tours and guided the lost, amazed alumni through the renovated Se- nior High. Since it was Beall's year to hold College Night, Guidance Counsel- ors Bill Orndorff and Dana George asked the students to give up their Tuesday night to help the colleges set up and help any people who needed assistance in finding a par- ticular institution. Five gorgeous guys from Fort Hill looked lost. We graciously offered to help them and ultimately ended up getting their phone numbers. I never thought Honor Society would be like that! explains Michelle Ka- mauff. Something new added to the agenda was it was called upon to call the votes at each election post to Illinois. Each phone call earned Honor Society five dollars. Even though not paid, students put their talent to use by tutoring students throughout the year. Honor Society added many new things to the agenda but still re- mained with the traditional favor- ite jobs. Votes had to be called in from each post to Illinois. Honor Society member Gina Sween volunteered time to do the job. Each phone call she made earned five dollars. Read the Fine Print y ii6 The preparing of the Honor Roll Board by Honor Society members has long been a Beall High tradition. Gina Sween and Michelle Kamauff took on responsibil- ity for setting up this year's. Phenomenal. That's how the Distinguished Scholars finished in their competition. Nine girls received the honor of being Maryland's Distinguished Scholars. Katie Roland, Rebec- ca Hinkle, and Jennifer Wolfe received hon- orable mention. Gina Sween, Emily Smith, and Michelle Kamauff received semi-fina- lists. But the big news were the finalists. Ka- ren Lemmert became finalist for academics, although she did compete in the art and mu- sic categories. Vivian Koch received high honors in academics as well. Amy Griffith was the big winner finishing a finalist in the dance category. Amy is the first student to receive high honors in the fine arts. All the finalists receive a $3200 scholar- ship for 4 years to a Maryland college. If they turn this down, the semi-finalists receive the money. Vivian is undecided where she will go if she decides to attend a Maryland School. Amy Griffith plans to attend Towson State and major in dance. Karen plans to possibly attend Frostburg State for one year. Although the girls have not made final de- cisions their recognition as Distinguished Scholars will help them in their future plans. Honor Society 117 LOOK AT watt tm Aided This concludes the announcements for this morning, said Mr. Leonard Ritchie, then the students who attend Vo-Tech run for the bus- es, leaving their home school behind. Some never think about it again while they pursue training in their chosen field, but others re- member the pride in the school that they spent their first two years in. Some of the school's leading athletes spend their day receiving a different kind of educa- tion in Cresaptown, and upon returning, they have a long hard practice or a vigorous game. Jim Wellings, skilled football player, brought Beall to a victory over Bishop Walsh and during the day spends time ten miles from Beall learning the trade of carpentry. Alan Harper completed his senior year play- ing soccer while training at Vo-Tech for a suc- cessful career in computer science. Those Vo-Tech students who continued to contribute to Beall through the sports pro- grams were recognized as an important part of the school and very valuable as individ- uals. Displaying his pride and school spirit, Jim Wellings makes countless contributions to the Mountaineer football team. Even though he spent his day learning at Vo-tech he still lent his talents to the team in the after- noon. Read the Fine Print V118 V The future. While other students thought of their future by getting ready for college, some students from Beall started by attending Vo- Tech in Cresaptown. Beall provided the necessary subjects for college-bound stu- dents and for high school gradu- ation. But Vo-Tech provided a bit more. Every morning the Vo-Tech stu- dents attended homeroom at Beall. When they heard over the PA sys- tem this concludes the announce- ments they hurried along the hall and down the stairs to their await- ing buses. The Vocational Technical Center helped the students to get a head start on their careers. With the training the junior and senior stu- dents received from Vo-Tech, they were prepared for the working world. It is not fun and games though. One week the students study in academics and the following week they work in their designated skill area. Students gained training in such fields as Auto Body to Weld- ing and it gave everyone a chance to be himself or herself and get ahead of the rest. The students not only looked out for Vo-Tech though. While at Vo-Tech the printing department published the Chime and home- coming programs for Beall, they also built the float for the home- coming parade. Since Vo-Tech had students from several different schools, it pub- lished its own yearbook along with having a student council and prom. Although the students grad- uate from Beall, Vo-Tech has their own type of graduation ceremony where students received a certifi- cate saying that they had attended two years of training at Vo-Tech. Some also received grants, scholar- ships and awards for being out- standing in their specific shop area. Vo-Tech attributed much to the education of students from Alle- gany County.

NOTHING With ample amount of space, the students wandered the massive halls. Students were seen leaning in the corners of the tower stairs or relaxing against the lockers. Our time spent in the halls usually averaged out to an hour a day, except if there were delays due to the ice and snow. We all awaited anxiously for Spring to come, even though we hoped for a few more delays and snow days. The junior high combatted cold temperatures on Janu- ary 26. The thermometer in the library read 48°. While they were freezing, the heat on the third floor in the senior high almost brought the aquariums to a boil. On February 2, Mr. Ritchie warned us to keep a close eye on our groundhogs. Sure enough, Phil saw his shad- ow and the area braced itself for another six weeks of winter much to the dismay of students and faculty. Read the Fine Print V120 Needed. 55c for a coke.

Staff coped with moving hassles Not even Mr. Preaskorn's office could escape. The win- dows still remained blindless after several weeks of school. The day they ordered blinds, my office was locked so they didn't order any, said Mr. Preaskorn, explaining his bright sunny office. Like many other faculty members, he had to cope with the irrita- tions and the hassles of set- tling back into the remodeled Beall. Teachers used their sum- mer to unpack boxes and or- ganize their new rooms. Some activities had to be planned around getting ready for fall. Several educa- tion conferences scheduled for summer that interfered with moving in had to be postponed to give teachers more time. Things settled down after school started — sort of. Soon everyone became annoyed by missing pencil sharpen- ers, no wastebaskets, and es- pecially no bulletin boards. To mark their future site, some teachers, like Mrs. Car- ole Helmick, wrote bulletin board on the wall. I got really tired of asking where they are and having them say, 'It's been ordered' or It's on the way,' she said. Mrs. Julie Determan spent the first part of her first year as school librarian working just to get the library opened. The new library furniture didn't even arrive until the weekend of September 7, re- sulting in the library becom- ing a store room for boxes of books the first few weeks of school. The hardest part has just been moving everything — the book boxes and the furni- ture, said Mrs. Determan. I'm a little disappointed that the library will be opening so late in the year, but there's nothing we can do about it. Settling back in took time. There are some problems you can foresee and some you can't, but I think it's gone re- markably well, said Mr. Preaskorn. Despite all the frustrations, faculty did their best to overcome the prob- lems. Faculty 123 Despite the snow, Mr. Travis goes out to his car to get his running shoes and clothes.

Some go by themselves for some peace and quiet; others get together with other faculty members and students. But whatever the sport, many teachers find exercise a favor- ite pastime. Running tops the list for several as their favorite sport, with some running before school and others going in the afternoon. Tim Travis, who has participated in sev- eral marathons, said, I enjoy running because it's one sport I can do and be good at. Gary Davis, when not in wrestling season, also runs after school. He and other faculty and students also en- joy playing informal after school basketball games for a little friendly competition. Some faculty members take exercise classes. Vikki McFar- land and Randi Countryman both take aerobics in classes given by local organizations such as the Red Cross and the Salvation Army. Swimmers take advantage of pools like Frostburg State's to keep in shape. Brenda Luger, John Cornmesser and Ken Baxter enjoy swimming as their favorite sport all year long. The faculty volleyball scrimmages against the girl's team helped keep the team in practice, also giving the fac- ulty a chance to get together and have fun while getting in shape. The faculty team. including Larry Hopcraft, Judy Wilson, Carole Hel- mick, and Chris Kreiling, coaching as she played, gave the girls a valuable workout. Others, like Ken Metz, Granville Cannon, and Mr. Baxter, enjoy hunting, fish- ing, canoeing, and camping in the great outdoors. Mr. Baxter, who sometimes ca- noes on the Potomac and fishes, said, I really feel ful- filled when 1 finally get a fish! It happens so seldomly. For some teachers, whether they canoe the Potomac, run marathons, or just run after school, sports give them a chance to get together and have fun, as well as much needed relief from the daily hassles of education.

The renovation brought plenty of them to Beall and the faculty. Teams and organizations found themselves under the direc- tion of new advisors and coaches who helped bring them new success. I love it, said Brenda Luger of her new responsibil- ities as Belles advisor, which involved taking care of tasks like preparing music and ar- ranging transportation for performances. During her first year, she found the offi- cers' help invaluable to her while working with them. The girls saw success under Ms. Luger as the Belles were invited to competitions and the officers to various Super- star Drill Team events. With several years of coaching basketball at area schools, coach John Arm- strong found himself well prepared for his first season at Beall. After talking with the guys about their goals for the year, practice started with the playoffs in mind, helped by assistant coaches Gary Cunningham and John Shaw. Mr. Armstrong regretted only that as a junior high math teacher, he saw little of his team outside of practice. Martin Crump took on his role as band director confi- dently, bringing a new look and new sound to the band. Under his direction the band performed more than ever before at local parades and at competitions where they re- ceived honors. With the help of drum major Beth Nelson, he tried to make each perfor- mance special, helping the band become even bigger and better under him. Ken Baxter found that the role of yearbook advisor had its problems — but nothing that couldn't be solved by us- ing his journalism experi- ence. While working with the yearbook staff, he found he sometimes learned from them. Mr. Baxter also taught the staff in turn by teaching them how to use the new computers to their advan- tage. Using the computers was just one way he made the yearbook staff work more ef- ficiently. For new faculty taking over as advisors or coaches, the new roles meant work. But, as they all agreed, it was well worth it. Explaining the basics of Calculus, Mr. Otto Ross works on fractions. He is the National Honor Society Advi- sor and has been for three years.

I found it interesting to go there because it's a lot differ- ent than the colleges in Aus- tralia. Colleges here tend to be more organized, Adri- enne commented. In October, many members of the junior and senior classes, decided to find out what they were good at by taking the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Jon Harris felt, the test was simple, but it lasted too long. The test took up three class periods for the people who took it, and the ones who didn't went to their reg- ular classes. After the results of the test were distributed, many students were saying, I'm not good at working on cars, or I can't believe they said I'm good at business stuff — 1 want to be a doctor. So they came to a conclu- sion that some results were right and some were totally wrong. Stanford or TVinity. Emily Smith re- views the admission requirement for Stanford University.

Future decisions ... that is what Beall High seniors had to make about their fu- tures and what they wanted to do with them. Ms. Dana George and Mr. William Orndorff, guidance counselors, talked to the stu- dents repeatedly about col- leges, trade schools, and the armed services, trying to help students with their choices.

His taste in music even out did his taste in food. Hank Williams Jr.'s music could al- ways be heard blaring from his brown 2-door Nova. One night at a football game a group of us were talking when Mike started singing the hillbilliest song we'd ever heard. He went on for a couple of minutes until I fi- [.ead the Fine Print V130 i Country music nally asked him what was that weird song he was sing- ing. He simply replied, Bo- cephus. Mike was original. He had a pair of black pointed-toe cowboy boots that he wore all the time. They made tremen- dous clomping noises when he walked and, if he noticed someone staring, he would make them clomp all the louder. People would say how much they hated those boots. But deep down inside 1 think everyone liked them. Probably because they were 100% Mike Fisher and it was hard not to like Mike. Mike loved to hunt and fish. I remember in 9th grade Mike missed school. His ex- cuse said, Please excuse Mike for being absent. He went hunting with his dad. I can imagine the impish grin that was on his face when he handed Mr. Countryman his note. I think he was proud of the fact that he wasn't sick or out-of-town. It was just that orneryness in him. Other than hunting and fishing season, Mike looked forward to soccer and base- ball. I could always tell where Mike was from far away be- cause of his bright orange sweats. He always gave his best, whether in sports or just scooping Gelato at Gepeto's. Seventeen years wasn't long enough. Not for Mike or for us to have him. But in those 17 years Mike lived.

We have so much to pay for and so little time to do it. With pictures, announce- ments, sweatshirts, caps and gowns, prom, yearbooks, and gas, the Class of '87 had a hard time paying for it all. Se- niors complained time after time about the expenses of being a senior. All in two weeks, the class had announcements, class dues, activity fees, yearbooks, sweatshirts, and, in some cases, science lab fees. Things used to be so much easier. Even with a job, I real- ly can't afford paying for all this, stated Tina Crowe. Since seniors had so much more to pay for, more than half of the class of '87 had part-time jobs. Some seniors were also on the work study program during the 1986-87 school year. Since she didn't have a job in the beginning of the year, Robin Seifarth start- ed in the middle of Novem- ber. Since my job at Country Market is so time consuming. I'm glad I got on work study. Now I can buy just about any- thing I want, Robin stated. Many seniors complained about everything they had to fork out bread for, and Joanna Martens summed it up saying almost every day, And they call this a free public educa- tion? With the entire class of '87 on their chests, Joey Coburn, Jeff Jenkins, and other members of Mrs. Munson's homeroom discuss the vic- tory the night before in Cumberland. It was the perfect way to celebrate the victory by wearing the senior sweatshirts. The cost was only twelve dollars. Expensive basketball shoes, band jacket, and class ring are a few things Mike Turner has to distin- guish him from underclassmen. Cap, gown, and announcements cost Mike over fifty dollars.

After twelve or thirteen years of education the time has finally come to start say- ing, I can't wait till gradu- ation. The senior class of 1987 had many advantages over the underclassmen and those who graduated in the past years. This class was the first to graduate from the newly remodeled high school. May Day was renewed, a calendar was created, the seniors won the play tournament, and the football team won the helmet back after a nine-year stay at Bishop Walsh. The class seemed unified and was rarely clawing each other's eyes out. For a change, drill team and cheer- leaders did not fight, and Chime and Yearbook helped each other's needs. This was due to senior leadership. Hopefully, this will be a pre- cedent. In the last four years at Beall High, many things changed for the better and some for the worse. These are supposed to be the most care- free times of our life. It's real- ly true. Just think. Lisa Marie Mundie: Tri-Hi-Y 4, Stu.

Fast food chains hired many students. Allan Shockey, Kathy McKenzie, and Karen Williams were just a few who helped McDonald's sell their 99-cent Big Mac. Jill LeMay served Cajun cuisine at Popeye’s in LaVale while Maria Fautz, Lisa Mundie, and Tiffany Tynes worked for Marriot at the college. Believe it or not, some made it out of the fattening food business. Fred Miller pumped gas at Langley's and Chet Christner displayed his muscles while working for Wright's Auction and Trans- fer. Some even worked for themselves. Bob Hilderbrand trapped animals and sold furs for profit. Chad Malone was kept busy by working on the farm.

Dther times they were shared or passed iround. Cold germs caused miserable lays for many students. Students walked the halls drugged up with Tylenol, Contac, or something pre- scribed wishing they could go home, flop down in bed and vegetate. This ear everyone seemed to have a cold at ane time or another, while others had perpetual colds. Carrying hankies, sneezing on each other, and constant coughing made classes unpleasant. Absentee lists seemed unusually long at times, and many found themselves going home early or coming in late when they were unable to cope with their ailing bodies and classes at the same time. Teachers' desks sported tissue boxes to cut down on the annoying sounds of students sniffling and gurgling which often penetrated the quiet classroom. The unusually large number of colds caused many problems for teachers and students, but it couldn't be helped. I think nothing of stopping class to remind a sniffling student that there are Kleenex on the desk. It really gets on my nerves, said Mrs. Arnone. The cold and flu season got off to a slow start because of the mild tempera- tures in late fall and early winter. Even those with allergies seemed to be better off than at the same time last year. Emily Smith, who always struggles with allergies, seemed to be happy. I love being able to breathe. Usually my allergies are bad and a cold doesn't help. This year no colds have made it worse. I just hope it stays this way. Colds or allergies, sniffles are sniffles. Winter or summer, spring or fall wouldn't be the same without the con- stant worry.

Bruce Springsteen's new album pack- age, in addition to being a top seller, helped the sale of compact disk and disk WFWM, the new college station, was a nice alternative since it played mostly progressive rock. Tastes differ, but music remains a uni- versally up-lifting experience that real- ly brightened our days. Late '80s high school students found it easy to like some music that pleased even their parents. The Beatles were en- joying a come-back in 1987 and the Beach Boys, The Doors, and an eclectic group of '60s and '70s artists were regu- larly listened to by Beall students on their cassette players and compact disk devices. U nderclass PIN CP POINTS of Brothers I Sisters Brothers and sisters are found throughout the school. No matter which corner you turn, you can almost always find family arguments. There are many advantages having a sister in school and on the drill team and I enjoy it very much 'said Annie Roland about older sis Katie who is drill team captain. Many arguments consist of unre- turned clothing, lunch money or bor- rowed money or anything else from A to Z. Example: if someone forgets lunch money or bought something and is a dollar or two short, they always can go to the office and find the schedule card and hunt down an older or younger sis- ter or brother. Some disadvantages are that if you're the class clown you have to be careful because now you have another pair of eyes watching you. No matter what I do when I get home my mom is always asking me what happened and I can never get around it, said Krista Allen. Fighting and arguing is not always the case. There are a lot of friendly con- versations between brothers and siste and a lot of moral support. This is my first year driving to schoc and it's mv brother's first year at Bealls. I take him every day since I don't gett spend much time with him. I enjoy bringing him to school, said Jason Wil Hams. You will always find advantages an disadvantages floating around schoo. but no matter who you talk to they would be lost without their brother oi sister. Parents find that siblings in the same school cause problems. Mrs. Gary Taylo: has three boys at Beall: Danny, eighth Gary tenth; and Tommy, twelfth. Worn sometimes overcomes her. Older brothers or sisters seem to have the responsibility of looking out for the younger ones during school and arounc the house. In some cases, it was an awe- some responsibility.

Mr. John Cornmesser had two pair. _ead the Fine Print V146 Boots in the basic colors, bows and banana clips in hair, and bracelets made from string or embroidery thread made major fashion statements during the year. The soft pastels changed into solid bright colors such as fuchsia, green, and red. Jr. high students looked to the senior high students to get fashion ideas, but they seemed to have their own way of putting their clothes together to get peo- ple to notice them. Out-back Red and Banana Republic provided a foreign fashion flair from Australia and Africa while others seemed to be happy with the basic American blue jeans. High prices made staying in fashion very difficult for those who had to buy their own clothes. My mom always takes me clothes shopping. If something is too expensive, I won't have her buy it, said Amy Griffith when asked about the ridiculous cost of clothes. Whether it was the western look, sweats, or the all-American T-shirt, the teachers enjoyed the students' clothes.

Excuses play an important part in stu- dents' lives. Every student makes hun- dreds of excuses each year. Excuse-making is an important learn- ing aspect every student experiences. They quickly learn exactly what excuses work on teachers. In school, excuses are used in almost every class. Students make excuses about book covers that magically fall off or papers that mysteriously disappear. C U 5 C 5 Another way excuses are often used is in explaining why a student was late for school. The more common ones are I slept in ' 1 missed the bus, The car wouldn't start ' or simply I don't know. Usually though, it was the stu- dent's own fault because of stopping somewhere on the way to school or for- getting to set the alarm clock. Students also used excuses to explain why they missed a teacher's class. The students would usually say that they were needed by another teacher. This was true most of the time, but on occa- sion students would be found in the halls with their steadies or even at Har- dee's for a little noontime snack. Upon returning home, students would use more excuses. Common ex- cuses for taking out their parent's car would be It's a school activity, or All my other friends have parents who let them drive. Report cards and interim reports also breed excuses. When students get bad grades the usual reply is It's a mistake. The next excuse is He didn't explain it to me, or I didn't know I had to do that. These excuses are soon exposed when parents talk to the teachers. Excuses are needed, but sometimes they get back at you.

Most students like snow for the same reason — delays in going to school. DNEP Of Wi In mid winter, the first major snow storm arrived just after the New Year. Students headed for the slopes to ski and the hills to sleigh ride and go three- wheeling. Since the storm hit while on vacation, kids had the opportunity to spend most of the time frolicking in the flakes. Tem- peratures stayed around the twenties and winds weren't high making playing in the snow a welcome winter respite. The worst part of the Frostburg win- ters are the winds which cut across the tennis courts and knock over walkers who are brave enough to take on Mother Nature. Occasionally, the 'burg is blessed with mild winter temperatures. In the middle of January, when everything is sup- posed to be frozen, the town exper- ienced three days with temperatures in the mid 50s. But on January 19, rain, ac- companied with thunder and lightning, turned to hail and then snow. Winter's first mega storm was ushered into town with thunder and lightening. POINTS n f c r It looked sort of grayish outside and the thunder and the snow gave it a neat effect, said Mike Turner while peering through Mrs. Munson's window, hoping for an early dismissal that never came. There is a saying that as the days lengthen, winter will strengthen. That evening proved no exception as winter proceeded to have its way with the area. WFRB was struck by lightning in the late afternoon and was off the air for a short time before coming back on under emergency power. Salt trucks were caught off guard and many streets and highways became dangerous to travel on and, in some cases, impassable. Because of scarce snow during the first winter months, everyone could feel it that winter would catch up with us. On the nineteenth of January it did. The morning after gave students an extra hour to sleep in. Trees in yards, telephone lines across the roads, and icy sidewalks greeted students as they final- ly woke up. 150 pt On his way to being sick, Ryan Davis, on his way home from wrestling practice, frolics in the snow. He is really dodging snowballs thrown at him by his teammates. A future Beall High student tugs on his sled to get it from the driveway onto Mechanic Street.

He had to keep the three smaller lizards separate from the larger one or else it would eat them. He also had to keep the lizards' aquar- ia covered to keep them from jumping out. To run, the larger lizard would get up on its hind legs, and most of Brian's friends liked this. Some teachers would possibly argue that their students were animals and, at times, most people would agree. The bi- ology department knows the students are animals, but what is most interesting is the students' animals. After coming home from a long day of school, Brian Wilhelm looks forward to playing with his lizards. Brian had to be careful not to take his liz- ards outside on cold days because they would freeze. FINER POINTS of Unique Pets What do ferrets, lizards and goldfish have in common? They are all unique pets of some students. In September, Marc Spataro got a white ferret that he named D.J. He liked D.J. so much that in January he got an- other one. I'm glad that ferrets get along well. At least I won't have to worry about them fighting, said Marc. Over Christmas vacation, Mrs. Vicki McFarland started setting up a salt-wa- ter aquarium in her room. Crabs and tropical fish, along with the shells and plants, all floated through the water. The day after she got the crab its claw fell out. I tried setting the aquarium in the back, but I couldn't seem to keep the sophomores from putting their hands in it, said Mrs. McFarland.

During the six hours each student spends at school, hunger seems to strike at times other than lunch. Because this happens, students resort to eating be- tween classes. On his way to second period Ryan Da- vis conveniently stops at his locker to refuel his body. The morning announcements tell the student body what to expect for lunch. It's usually greeted with a hooray for steak-umms or an oh-no whenever cheeseburgers are served. How to stop a growling stomach. The cure, at home, is to take a quick trip to the refrigerator. Behind last night's lef- tover spaghetti is usually ham and cheese which can be used as a sandwich if bread is available. Eating out was also enjoyable. Fast food from Hardee's or McDonald's became great whenever the two both had 99c burgers. Some students even managed to sneak out of school to get one of these bargains. Popeye's moved into the area, which made getting Cajun Cuisine much easi- er. Italian food grew in popularity. D'A- tri’s, Guiseppee's, and the good 'ole pizza parlor helped make the area able to eat Italian food quicker. Buffalo style chicken wings flew into the area and Ping's served up great ca- shew chicken. Death dogs and nachos could be no- ticed from their overwhelming smell. For 99c two death dogs could be bought. Beverages accompanied student food choices. Big Gulps were with nachos. French fries from McDonald's went with strawberry milkshakes.

Broken bones are caused by a variety of incidents. Accidents, carelessness, or inexperience are a few examples. While roller skating, Nathan Harshman broke his wrist in attempting to slow himself. The depressing part about the whole in- cident was his family vacationed at the beach the next week and Nathan couldn't go swimming because he couldn't get his cast wet. Jennifer Hoskin broke a finger while cleaning. I was scrubbing to get some blush out of the rug. I scrubbed too hard and broke my finger, she said. Fingers seemed to be the weakest bone in the junior high. Jennifer Patter- son and Jason Bittner also broke digits during the year. The senior high weakness featured the wrist and ankle. Yearbooker Karen Williams slipped on ice just before her deadline and suffered a bone break re- quiring surgery. Deadlines are traumat- ic anyway, she said from her hospital bed, but missing one isn't worth all this pain and trouble. Jill LeMay, Jim Miller, Brian Miller, Kenny Rafferty, and Chris Emerick are a few who have also suffered castitis. The common cast consisted of Plaster of Paris, gauze, and colorful magic markers. The big thing was to see who could be most creative with their signa- ture. With 8 colors students rushed over to the poor soul whose body was recently encasted.

At a starting salary of $3.75, he found that working an eight hour day, six days per week was a good way to make money. The job got even better at the end of every two weeks when he received a salary increase. Kenny spent his pay check on beach parties, rent and school clothes. The real dilemma came at the end of August. Confronted with re- turning to school for the August 25 opening or working through Labor Day with a 50c an hour raise, Kenny chose the latter.

Her mom told Stacey to put the $100 bill, a Christmas gift from her dad, in a safe place. But just a few hours later, Stacey discovered that the bill was miss- ing. Searching for it in every spare mo- ment for about two weeks, she didn't want her mom to know she had lost it. I thought she would kill me if she found out! said Stacey. One day she was putting away boxes when she saw a flash of green peeking out from one of the flaps. She looked closely. It was the $100. Stacey wasn't the only loser. The school's Lost and Found overflowed with hot pink sunglasses, smelly tennis shoes, black and white striped gloves, and even wornout Levis. Even Mrs. Ellen Arnone admitted that she had a problem with acciden- tally throwing things away. After entertaining guests for dinner, she was putting away her silver when she noticed that one of her silver spoons was missing. I had to look through three bags of garbage before I found it, said Mrs. Arnone. Another loser was eighth grader Teddy Kallmyer who went to get some money out of his wallet and found it gone. After looking for nearly two periods, he found it under a chair in Mrs. Barbara the lake and it was a family heirloom, gg Christy Campbell Knippenburg's room. To Teddy's surprise, all of his money was still there, but his wallet was filled with a bunch of notes, all addressed to him. I was glad to know that someone was just joking around and that it hadn't really been lost or stolen, said Teddy. Many people weren't as lucky and didn't always find what they were missing, but losing was just one of the facts of life that everyone put up with. They took Get Lost a bit too literally.

Every day it was for something different — class dues, yearbook, PSAT, spectator bus, and occasionally lunch with friends. In the seventh grade everyone had gym as a required class, requiring a uni- form. The traditional yellow and blue gym shorts and shirt cost each student $10 for the year. After the first month of school stu- dents also had at least $3 tied up in fees — lab fee for damaged equipment, ac- tivity fee for assemblies, and class fees for homecoming supplies. This was only the beginning. In Octo- ber and November the tests started — the ACT, SAT, and PSAT. Mrs. Dana George and Mr. William Orndorff made their rounds, talking to each class.

Mrs. Vikki McFarland took her se- niors to Kings Dominion and to the Inner Harbor, and each trip cost about $29 which included a charter bus. Somehow there was enough money for both learning experi- ences. Education went to Hagerstown. Mrs. Ellen Arnone arranged for her junior classes to travel to the Mary- land Theatre to see a dramatization of short stories. Chime was $2; basketball coats, $30; cokes, $.50; volleyball shirts, $13; ensemble attire $11.95; sports admis- sions, $1, and of course, lunches in the cafeteria sold for a mere $.85. Being a senior had its downfalls. The Jostens representative came to sell announcements, senior keys, and memory books. One week later, seniors picked out sweat shirts at a cost of $10. Somehow everyone managed. It just wouldn't seem like school unless we were broke all of the time.

It was a problem taking the test at Valley, said Tara Davies. Those kids weren't bothered by the interruptions; we weren't used to bells ringing and trains going by. After the test Stacy Broadwater and Tara waited 55 minutes for their ride back to Frostburg. My brother was sup- posed to pick us up. Finally we called one of Tara's friends who lives in Coney. Meanwhile the six other students had $5.25 to find out what you don't know. $5.25 to sit three hours to fill in bubble sheets. $5.25 to slowly turn into an ice cube. Pay to suffer? That's what 131 ju- niors and sophomore did on October 18 in a freezing cafeteria. For the sec- ond year in a row the custodial staff had failed to turn up the heat and throughout the three hours, no one bothered to increase the tempera- ture. Earlier on that Saturday morning the juniors had paid to eat breakfast together at McDonalds. Mary Ed- wards thought it was free, and when she found out it was pay as you go, she quietly left. The fee was a quarter cheaper at Valley and Mount Savage where 10 students who couldn't take the test The cold really made me uncom- fortable. W ? were all bundled up.

Lane Center NOTHIN The state agreed to construct a new corporate office facility at a site owned by Allegany Communi- ty College. They promised to re- surface airport runways, to pur- chase the out-dated plant facility, and to install an automatic weather observation station. In addition, legislators pushed the U.S. Department of Labor for $1.2 million to create an assistance center to help those who had lost No one expected it. No one believed it. Rumors had circulated for at least two years that Kelly-Springfield would cease operations. And yet the workers had heard wolf so many times that when the plant shutdown was made public on November 21, Kelly families were shocked. The worst had happened. Because of Sir John Goldsmith's attempt to purchase all common stock in the cor- poration and the ensuing Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company's stock buy-back, prices squeezed Goodyear into closing its bias-ply tire produc- tion facility within six months. With local officials rallying to sup- port the industry. Governor-elect Wil- liam Donald Shaefer, Senator-elect Barbara Mikulski and Representative Beverly Byron visited the Cumber- land area. The letter said we'd know by Fri- day, said Glen Whitman. When I called my dad from school, I was glad to know we were moving — a new town, a new school, and new friends would be challenging. I spent two weeks dreaming of new places to go in Dallas and new things to see. It would have been exciting. Then on Friday, January 2, the tire company officials confirmed that they would retain the corporate of- fices at Cumberland. The change didn't affect the May 21 lay-off of about 870 hourly and 125 production workers at the tire plant, but it did mean the retention of 600 headquar- ters and testing jobs. Christmas will be different. News of the Kelly shutting down hit all of us hard. Since money is tight, we will not be getting much. Dad tries to hide his feelings, but we know he’s hurt- ing. We have to be behind Dad. 99 Aaron Fike their jobs. Investigation into trailer and house rentals for those pursuing jobs in the Baltimore Frederick areas met with approval of workers and local officials. Allegany County's economic and work structure changed. The once-powerful industrial commu- nity had lost another plant. Only the spirit kept the area going.

And Frostburg had its sitters — unusual jobs requiring little training, but ones that brought in big monies. Having neighbors, cousins, broth- ers, and sisters provided opportuni- ties for teens to get that extra cash. Babysitting, which demanded a min- imal amount of training, allowed teens to make money quickly. Sophomore Andi Ritchie has been babysitting for four years. I sit every Tuesday night while my aunt bowls. I get paid $5.00 each time, said Andi. It gives me some extra spending money. Sometimes babysitting wasn't that easy. Christy Coleman babysat for a family who owned a rabbit. I hate that rabbit, she said. It chased me all over the house, trying to bite me. Finally I closed it in a closet upstairs and later found it nibbling on a pair of good leather pumps, so I thought I better let it out. That was a horrible day! Sitting wasn't always for girls. Eric Slonaker used his ability to get along with small children as an opportu- nity to babysit with his little cousins. I babysat a plant, said Cassie Long. My neighbor had these sprout things, and I watered them, shook them, and rinsed them — and talked to them. And they grew. Cassie also had another unusual job. She was a Respite Care Worker. In the summer she was on call ?.ead the Fine Print whenever parents of mentally re- tarded children needed a break. When Jennifer Groves' neighbors went to Ocean City, she made $20 for taking care of their cat. And Penny Jenkins banked $10 for taking care of her grandmother's plants. I watered them faithfully, said Penny. But they still died. Tina Crowe did house sitting. My parents best friends were always away, so I got total rule of the house and the hot tub, said Tina. Junior Lori Neat worked on week- ends as a Personal Care Provider for the county Health Department. I After I made friends with Loopy, the Mutt I sat, he went and died on me. During an evening at Wright's Auction Service, Chet Christner acknowledges a bid. Chet works for his uncle, David Wright. Joanna Martens The take care of two elderly women who both have handicaps. I also have a 13 year-old boy who has spina bifida. I take him to the mall on Saturdays; we just do something fun. Since Seventh grade, Sandy McKenzie has been babysitting for seven-year-old Beth Ballases and her seven year-old sister Ambra. I'm able to buy most of my own clothes, said Sandy. In addition, she takes her boyfriend out, and sometimes she buys her two young charges pre- sents. I've got a Christmas Club too. Sandy added. Boys got into the act too. Greg McKenzie babysat for his two nieces and a nephew. Marty Winner helped to care for his sister Debbie's kids. Both boys did the sitting for a favor and just to help out the family. Debbie does things for me, said Marty, and I do things in return. Finding ways to make money wasn't always easy but Frostburg teenagers came up with some inter- esting ideas.

Nothing Finer Volume 60 of the Beall High School yearbook was printed by Delmar Pub- lishing Company in Charlotte, North Caroli- na. The book has an 8.5 by 11 format with 192 pages. Copy is 10-point Pa- lantino and captions are 8-point. Names in the People Section are 8 and 7-point Palantino. The headlines are pasted-up and about every kind of print in the world. The folio tabs are 24,18, and 12-point Palantino with a black right triangle. At the beginning of the year, none of us knew much about tak- ing, developing, or printing pictures. By the end of the year, four staff members could be called good photogra- phers. The cover design was created at 4:30 in the morning by Becky Hinkle and Erica Gille- spie at Gettysburg, Pa.

Only one year, but after the pain of renova- tion, it seems like it has been much longer. We came back from surviving in tiny, crowded buildings and classrooms that had old doors nailed together for walls. Everyone feels it has been a change for the better. Even though the novelty is wearing off, we still think back to the way things were: loud, large machines outside the windows distracting classes and the tanned construction workers that the girls watched and whistled at instead of reading Shake- speare. But now, business is as usual. Everything is de- pendable and everything is done like clockwork although there have been a few exceptions, such as the unwashed chalkboards and the multiple photocopiers. We have run out of words to de- scribe the past year. There's nothing left to say. We have said it all! 191 At Fort Frederick, the ju- niors listen to a colonial soldier tell the history of the fort. Eleventh grade English instructor, Ellen Arnone, chaperoned this junior class trip. Streamers blow in the wind as the cheerleaders practice for the Homecom- ing pep rally. Beat Walsh became reality for days lat- er when Beall won 14-6 in the first homecoming vic- tory in nine years. Creativity is not limited to the classroom but can be found in the parking lot in the form of donuts. The win- ter snow fell unexpectedly leaving the area paralyzed under two feet of snow. FINAL ZJnoiicjrit: With her senior party hat to show spirit, Kathy McKenzie watches the Homecoming pep rally. I think the past six years at Beall have been great. But this year is the best! Says Kathy, which is the general attitude most seniors hold. YEARBOOK — Front Row: Karen Williams, Joanna Martens, Jodie Garlitz, Erica Gillespie, Tina Crowe, Tiffany fynes.
