Each freshman surely must have felt like she he was entering into a strange, new world. It may only be a few yards from the Middle School to the high school, but it is a long, long drop from be- ing Top Dog at Kuehn-Haven to the tra- ditional low man on the totem pole posi- tion each freshman must assume at Hill-McCloy. The freshman class was on its Sophomores, on the other hand, had to be pleased to see the class of ' 89 arrive. Stepping on those little freshman bodies in order to climb a rung higher on the ladder of command would be great fun. Still, be- ing an underclassman isn ' t easy and a lot of growing up would be necessary in the days ahead. After all, each young sopho- more was only one school day removed from the memory of being labeled a squirrely freshman. The sophomore class was on its own. Juniors never had it so good. Two years of experience under their belts had to help. But each junior soon discovers that the biggest problem of being a junior is: the seniors. More than ever, the class of ' 87 would be forced to live under the awful shadow of the class ahead of them. In sports, many juniors find that it ' s difficult to beat out a senior for a starting position on the varsity. In other situations, such as the classroom or in any competition between classes, a junior seems to be at a distinct disadvantage. It ' s not easy living directly under the shadow of a senior. The junior class was on its own. Seniors sit on top of the world. A senior is a one-of-a-kind creature. Conceited? Why, of course. And why not? They have every right to be — they are the Big Cheese. Yet underneath all the bluster is a person faced with a ton of crucial decisions. Fun and games time is over and it is time to prepare for the real world that each senior will be thrown into in just a few months. The senior year may be a care- free time, but it is also serious business. The senior class was on its own. Each class and each student was on its own. Yet, if the school year was to be- come a success, each of us would have to unite and pull together in the same direc- tion. It ' s what a winning school must al- ways do. It ' s what makes Hill-McCloy so special. It ' s called School Spirit. It ' s called . . . Coming Together As One. Blueberry Queen Lisa Howard and her court Gina Tripp, Karen Helfrich, and Becky Dennings took part in summer parades all across the state, but save their best smiles for the hometown folks. Montrose High School state championship band displays its perfection in the 1985 Blueberry Parade. 2 Summer Summertime Fun! Laura Renner and Jodi Domine take time out from the mud volleyball tournament to roll around in the mud. School friendships don ' t stop at the end of the school year — they continue on through the summer and into the following year. Just ask Bob Barron. Tami Walli, Mike Murdoch, and Terry Shoens. Cedar Point is a popular spot for Montrose students to go during the summer months. These five freshmen took time out of their trip to pose in front of the Gemini. Camera catches camera woman Hiedi Patterson on her way out to take pictures for the summer section. Summer 3 Spirit Week ■£-— V X pV4 , : W 1 } ' ' ' 2 iH BBB — i H Simple nerds are happy nerds; just ask Dana Francisco. Spirit Week is more than a 9 to 5 job for Robin Dolly Burry. Old Spinster Stewart can still teach a mean Lit. 10 class. Famous Rock sayings: Lisa Howard — Kiss my grits; Terry Shoens — I ' ve been slimed; Ron Hitchcock — Rain drops keep falling on my head. The life of a nerd is not an easy one, but Tim Wall! is prepared for all potential disas- ters. Punkster Kelly Andres Collected. Cool, Calm, and 4 Spirit Week A Cast of Characters The U.S. has had quite an effect on ex- change student Sanna Ekholm. Spirit Week brings out the ham in Mrs. Rojas. Jesse Keys is happy he made it to class with all of his possessions. Spirit Week brings out the weird in most people. There were several close seconds, but the winners for each day of the week were: Monday: Best Teacher — Dave Sprague Tuesday: Rock Star — Terry Shoens Wednesday: Punk Prep — Audra McAuley Thursday: Nerd — Jesse Keys Friday: Red Black — Everyone Spirit Week 5 Dapper Dennis Adams is in a class all by himself. Never trust a smiling senior, especially Ed Povinelli and Paul Space. When you pack as much lunch as Danny Smith had, you need a lot of elbow room. Don ' t disturb John Glann — he ' s trying to study his science. 6 Candids Veronica Nygard thinks Matt Jones is someone to look up to. They told Scott Murdock and Jeff Ellis their freshmen year would be great, but they ' re both finding that hard to swallow. Bob Barron has had to step on a few people on his way to the top. Gail Becker says taking tests can be nerve- racking for some people. Candids 7 SENIORS Tops Among Spirit Students were delighted to see Parade Grand Marshall and retired teacher, Mr. Feher during Homecoming ' 85. Float competition has a way of developing class unity. Each class converged at the old junior high to celebrate what appeared to be Mission Impossible just a few days earlier: the completion of a float. The class of ' 86 once again stole the Spirit Jug honors. 8 Parade HOMECOMING ROYALTY Monica Nygard Kelly Polzin Court 9 All the Pieces Fall into Place What looked like a potentially dreary day turned into a perfect homecoming setting. After the early morning rain ended, it set the stage for a winning homecoming. To start the winning day off, the seniors won the Spirit Jug, to go along with their prize-winning float. Then, Tami Walli was awarded home- coming queen, out of our six outstanding candidates. But the day wasn ' t finished because the football team had to earn their first win in the G.E.C. opener with a 36-14 triumph over the Bendle Tigers, to make the afternoon end just right. An open field usually spells six points for fleet-footed John Wixson. Matt Jones and friends prepare to blow the opposition right off the line of scrimmage. Time ran out on the doomed Bendle Tigers.

The Ram ground game chewed up large chunks of yardage on Homecoming Day and through the sea- son. Jamie Wilson combined strength and speed to spearhead the potent Ram attack. Brent Domine may be outnumbered, but he ' s not overmatched as he drags a few tacklers down the field. Rutherford B. BattleRam brought new enthusiam and spirit to athletic events this year. The first- ever mascot had plenty to cheer about during the early part of the year. _.W T ! r. It is only fitting that in a year filled with extraordinary spirit, that Hill-McCloy would have one of its best-ever cheerleading squads. Big Game 11 Queen Tami Tami Walli is very easy to recognize con- sidering all the activities she participates in. Tami has been a class officer since her freshman year and also played bask- etball, volleyball, and softball. She was moved up her sophomore year in both basketball and softball for tournaments. During her junior year, she received sec- ond team all-league honors in softball as an infielder. Tami has lived in Montrose all her life. During her free time, she enjoys down- hill skiing, three-wheeling, swimming, and being with her friends. Tami ' s future plans include going to col- lege for a few years. 12 Queen King Mike Mike Murdoch has lived in Montrose for eight years, moving here from neighbor- ing town Birch Run. Mike has made a name for himself, by participating in wrestling, football, and baseball. Wres- tling is one of his finer points, as he has worked his way to three state titles and will be going for his fourth one this year. Mike enjoys working on his car, beating up on his younger sister Colleen and just loafing around with his friends or at home during his extra time. King 13 Laurie Collins . . truly a misfit of science. Punker participant Lynda Pringle puts on perfect punk pose. Colleen Murdoch and Tish Silva attempt to recover from one of the toughest practices of the year, just before the first game of the sea- son. Many students find Dr. Thomas ' American Literature class to be challenging, but Jill Setzke finds a chance to relax and enjoy her assignment. 14 Candids Trudy Greenway, Wendy Williams and Kim Thorington seem to have mixed emotions about the change of schools. Girls: Could you look into those big blue eyes and say no? Dads: Don ' t let your daughters date this guy — Octopus Eastman. Surfers Cathy Severn and Kecia Hall go all out for their speech, and dress up for the occasion. Candids 15 Together As One The early days of the ' 85- ' 86 school year were good days for Hill-McCloy. Class spirit and togetherness became stron- ger as competition became heated for the Spirit Jug. New friendships were made and old friendships were strengthened as time was spent together working on floats and making plans for Spirit Week. The entire school also drew closer. Our pep rallies were loud and spirited as we gathered behind our championship football team. A new kind of spirit also seemed to grow in the classroom as new books and supplies and a new attitude about learning developed. A sense of purpose, pride and togetherness was beginning to emerge, thanks to those action-filled early days at Hill-McCloy. Homecoming isn ' t just for students, it is for alumni also. Shelley Bedford, previous Queen Dana Hayes, Michelle Blackburn, and Brenda Tackebury show their school pride by returning to the ' 85 Homecoming. Mr. Bowen watches intently to make sure Gina Tripp and Brent Domine follow the rules of the game. Audra McAuley carries Dennis Rush down the court at break neck speed ... or is that break back speed? dministration Administration Div.

Mrs. Rojas — I think the six hour day al- lows our students more adequate prep- aration for further education after gradu- ation, necessary as the market continues its stiff competitiveness. Mr. Studaker — It ' s 180 more hours of instruction for each student per year. It has to help Montrose offer a quality education. Mr. Westervelt— This six hour day will expose students to more educational ex- periences. It should develop better stu- dents. Mrs. Stewart — Students need the six hour day. Education here is free and we ' re missing an opportunity if we don ' t take everything we can. Like an all you can eat buffet, it ' s here for the taking. Mrs. Thomas — I love the six hour day, it offers students a better opportunity for an education. We need to require more classes so their education will be guided better. Mrs. Currie — Students need the oppor- tunity to take classes like typing which might otherwise not be available to them on a five hour college prep schedule. Of course, one should get all the writing ex- perience available and not need to choose between equally valuable courses. Mrs. Tithof — I think it ' s great. It gives students a greater choice of subjects and a better education. •s ■ 22 Language Math Business How do you feel about the six hour day this year and do you feel it has been helpful? Mrs. Kudej — Very Helpful — students need to be able to take more classes to get a well-rounded education. The more things you are exposed to, the easier it is to decide what you want to do with your life . . . Mrs. Allett — I think students should all have six hours of classes — after all of the problems passing the millage many parents feel their students should be getting six hours of solid education. Mr. Bebow — It gives students a chance to take more classes that they are inter- ested in. Mr. Rich — I am happy we were able to offer a six hour day this year, the stu- dents benefit from an extra hour of class per day, by getting a chance to take of- ferings they would not have in a five hour day. Mr. Barker — I think it ' s great for the students — they have a greater opportu- nity to take advantage of educational opportunities. Mr. Borbot — I think the return to the six hour school-day has been very helpful in getting the quality of education back on track in our school system. • : Jk t Math, Business 23 Science How do you feel about the students too many students want their education goals and how they are trying to to be given to them instead of working accomplish them? to earn it. Mr. Bowen — Most students have goals and are sincerely working toward them. As students mature and learn better self-discipline, they will make better progress toward these goals. Mr. Masser— I firmly believe that all stu- dents need to set goals for themselves and then work to attain them. I feel that Mr. Simonson — some students are goal- oriented and have demonstrated a high level of determination together with the effort necessary to be successful. Mrs. Wright— Many students have low expectations of themselves and goals. They are unwilling to put forth effort for self improvement. 24 Science Social Science How do you feel about the students goals and how they are trying to accomplish them? Mr. Claus — Students need to set specific goals and work to achieve them. Too many students do not have set goals. Mr. Johnson — I feel that we should stress a good basic academic course that all students should pass to receive a diploma. Many students need to work harder to mer it getting that diploma. Mr. Adams — What goals? The college bound student always has a plan and work hard at it. The vocational kids are a little lazy about how the academic side of life fits into their future. Mr. Medemar — I think it ' s a good idea for students to have goals. But too many students ' only goal in school is to social- ize with their friends. Mr. Tithof — It ' s my belief few students have any realistic long range goals and presently know how to work toward accomplishing them. Many want a good life but don ' t see the immediate need to prepare themselves for it. I feel we ought to help students see their problem. The career education dept. is a plus in their direction. Social Science 25 Special Education Physical Ed Please list your hobbies inside of school and outside of school? Mr. Hayes — Inside I like watching sports, coaching the boys varsity football team and J.H. wrestling team. Outside of school I enjoy hunting and fishing. Miss Markland — Inside of school I enjoy all athletic events and coaching the girls and guys cross country team. Outside of school I like swimming, cross-country ski- ing, biking, and reading. Mrs. Lamb — In school I just enjoy the people and outside of school I like spending time with my husband. Mrs. Dwan — Inside I enjoy all the friend- ly people, outside I like skiing, sewing, walking and being outdoors. 26 Special, Physical Education  : Industrials Fine Arts Mr. Kinter — Coaching the girls Varsity basketball team and spending time with my family. Mr. Pittard — I am the director of the marching, jazz and concert band. I enjoy composing and arranging music and audiofile. Mr. Skelton — I enjoy working with pottery and photography. Mr. Sands — I like working with wood and enjoy working with metals. Industrials Fine Arts 27 VIP ' s Make it All Happen Cafeteria Workers: K. Hitchcock, B. Williams, L. Sherman, L. Rinks, A.

She decided to become a teacher because the area in- terested her; she felt she could train herself for the profession at a good col- lege and have a job when she finished her undergraduate work. I chose secondary education because I felt I did not have the patience neces- sary to work with younger children, commented Mrs. Currie. Little did I know then that patience is needed for all levels, plus a sense of humor. One of Mrs. Currie ' s most rewarding ex- periences was when one of her former students told the president of Adrian College that she had helped him the most as a high school teacher. She re- ceived a letter of congratulations from the President of Adrian. Mrs. Currie says she will miss the stu- dents who were interested in learning — just as we will miss her. Mrs. Currie 29 Career of Involved Teacher Closes A 26-year teaching career comes to a close this June when Mr. Johnson retires. When he walks out the door for the final time he will be leaving behind an active career that included being class sponsor for several graduating classes and sponsoring the National Hon- or Society, in addition to teaching social studies. He received his B.A. at Central Michigan University and his M.A. in history at the University of Michigan. Mr. Johnson would like to do some trav- eling in the future, now that he will have some spare time. I will miss the many good friends on our school faculty and many of the stu- dents I ' ve had in classes, commented Mr. Johnson. I ' m sure I ' ll miss working with the students in the National Honor Society since they are a great group of teenagers. Mr. Johnson has earned his retirement and we will miss him very much. 30 Mr. Johnson Long-time Sub Replaces Mrs. Currie After the retirement of Mrs. Currie, we added a new teacher to our staff. Mrs. Pries is not entirely new to our school, however. She has been a substitute here for a few years. Mrs. Pries grew up just outside of New Lothrop. She attended St. Michaels High School. After high school, she attended Aquinas but she took her graduate courses at Michigan State University and the University of Michigan. Mrs. Pries is married and has four chil- dren. Her husband ' s name is Robert. Her four children are: Stephen, 18, Julianne, 17, Michael, 14, and David, who is 11. Mrs. Pries enjoys sewing, cooking, reading, playing tennis and gar- dening. Mr. Kitts Takes O ver for Mr. Johnson Mr. Kitts is our new history teacher, tak- ing Mr. Johnson ' s place. Mr. Kitts grew up in Kingston but moved to New Haven when he was seven years old. When he was 15 years old he moved to Marysville and graduated from Marysville High School. After high school Mr. Kitts attended Central Michi- gan University. Mr. Kitts and his wife, Sandra, have been married for two and a half years. Mr. Kitts enjoys skiing, playing racquetball, golfing, making white wines, taking long-range pictures and growing several varieties of ferns for indoor use. Student Life 31 Lively Australian Fits Right in; Vegemite sandwiches, a waddle-walk, a funny way of talking, an answer for everything and a throat full of giggles all arrived last September when Australian exchange student Sharon Harris stepped off the plane. The girl from the land down under im- mediately jumped into the mainstream of Hill-McCloy life with her enthusiasm and willingness to get involved in school activities. During the course of the year, Sharon participated in a bunch of first- ever adventures such as: 1.) a mud-vol- leyball game just two weeks after arriv- ing. 2.) joining the basketball team (who can forget the night she scored her first basket) 3.) becoming a member of the yearbook staff ( Mr. Studaker, I don ' t have any pictures for my lay-out. ) 4.) playing the Prime Minister of England in the drama club ' s play, Take Me To Your President, (followed by an impressive performance at McDonald ' s after the play) 5.) going out for softball and 6.) traveling to places like Mackinac Island, Canada, Washington D.C., and New York. Sharon says what she likes best about America is, the people — they are very friendly and they accepted me readily. I feel very much at home here. I have made many friends and live with a won- derful family. According to Sharon, the biggest adjustment in moving to America was getting used to a closed school campus and adjusting to people driving on the opposite side of the road (although Shar- on won ' t be able to get her Australian driver ' s license until she turns 18). Sharon ' s future plans are to go to col- lege and earn a business degree. She also hopes to, return to visit my family and the friends I have made. Chess Club Crowns Champions Chess Club held a couple of tourna- ments towards the end of its season. In the Round Robin tournament, Juniors Scott Cohoon and Richard Cummings steamrolled through the competition to identical 13-1 records. Scott won a best- of-three play-off to capture the trophy. Scott Jajey finished third. In a Division II tournament open to first- year players only, Mark McGraw eliminated Wes Stiles to get into the finals, where he defeated Bill Schmieder to notch a perfect 4-0 mark for the tourney. All participants received medals for their participation in the club. 32 Student Life Finn Brightens Our Days Dne of the sweetest smiles at Hill- vlcCloy this year belonged to our Finnish exchange student, 17-year-old Sanna Ekholm. Sanna, who is living with the Diffins, says Americans are very friendly and have taken her in and made her feel right at home. She says America is a lot bigger than her native Finland, but that ■c of the biggest differences is all the junk food here — and she loves it. Some other differences between the two countries is that Finland is less crowded and has fewer highways and automobiles that we do. It costs about $700 to get a driver ' s license there, and you must wait until you ' re 18 before you can get one. Sanna enjoys skiing (Finland ' s most popular sport) and likes to read, draw, write letters, and do needle work. She is a member of Hill-McCloy ' s drama club and went out for softball. Sports are not as prevalent in Finland, says Sanna, and people here are much more serious about them. School in Finland is much more difficult than it is here. They start school when they are seven and they take 14 sub- jects every year. Their school day is usually eight hours long. They have a 15 minute break between classes and they may leave school during this break as long as they ' re back by the time class starts. Lunches are free, but everyone must have the same thing. There is not much crime in Finland and you never hear of any drug problems. When Sanna returns to Finland she plans on going to school for two more years. After graduation she plans to at- tend college. Sanna would like to travel around Europe and someday return to the United States to visit her family here and friends she has made. She would also like to travel around the U.S. I really want to tell my best thank you for all of you, to my family and all my friends! This year means and will mean more than anything in my life. Thank you again, commented Sanna. The country in Finland is a lot like the U.S. — it has four seasons. The difference is that it has bright summers and dark winters. There ' s a two month period in the summer where the sun does not set and two months in the winter where there is no sun. But Sanna Ekholm has brought a lot of sunshine to Montrose with her warm, friendly smile. Studer.t L Povinelli Earns D.A.R. Award The winner of this year ' s D.A.R. Good Citizen Award is Ed Povinelli. Ed, the first male to receive the award at Hill- McCloy, was chosen as the Montrose senior who best displays the characteris- tics of leadership, dependability, service and patriotism. Ed has been very active during his four years at Montrose, but his commitment to his school has never been more evident than this year. As a senior, Ed has been class president, National Honor Society president, a member of the stu- dent council, a starter on the Quiz Bowl team, and a member of S.A.D.D. Al- ways active in sports, Ed participated in cross-country, basketball and baseball this year. He was again the disc jockey at all school dances, a position he has held throughout his four years here. I feel very honored to get this presti- gious award, commented Ed, who plans to attend MSU where he will prob- ably major in business administration and pre-law. Ed Povinelli has been a leader and a valuable member of this school. He is a deserving recipient of this year ' s D.A.R. Award. Top Ten Seniors The Top Ten students at Hill-McCloy are an even blend, with the elite group consisting of five girls and five guys. Penney Johnson was named valedictorian for 1986 with a grade point average of 3.968 out of a possible 4.00. Stephenie Schultz narrowly edged out Carla Hromek as the salutatorian. Stephenie compiled a 3.944 average while Carla earned an equally impressive 3.941. The next seven aver- ages ranged from 3.898 to 3.478. All ten of these graduating seniors can take pride in their accomplishments, and | they are to be congratulated on a fine effort. The top ten students: Penney Johnson, Stephenie Schultz, Carla Hromek, Paul Space, Jamie Wilson, Ed Povinelli, Todd Crandell, Sue Beemer, James Brooks, and Shelli Sedlow. Valedictorian Penney Johnson 34 Student Life Montrose Begins School Year Underwater Floods devastated the Flint area on Sep- j tember 6, 1985. Severe damage from the flooding occurred after torrential rains damaged or completely washed out bridges. Many basements were also flooded. New Lothrop, Chesaning and Montrose were victimized when simple little creeks and streams grew into raging cataracts. Driving from one location to another suddenly became a near impossible chal- lenge due to the floods. A maze of detours awaited most cars. For example, the Misteguay Bridge on M-57, just west of M-13 was washed away by the Misteguay Creek. Several roads in Mon- trose Township were closed, including Elms, Dodge, Morrish and Wilson. Repairs to the roads, bridges, buildings and the destruction of personal goods added up to millions of dollars. The Misteguay Bridge took three months to fix and some of the other bridges took even longer to replace. The floods had a great effect on Mon- trose and the surrounding area. There was constant thunder and lightning dur- ing the early hours of September 6, 1985. It ' s not often that school is can- celled because of flooding, and it certain- ly marked a memorable beginning for 1985-86 school year. Millage Brings New Books  : ' €: The students of Hill-McCloy benefitted a great deal from the passing of last year ' s millage. Due to the passing of the millage, student ' s education has been improved thanks to the purchasing of new books. A great deal of books were outdated, and new ones were needed. Besides the workbooks that are bought annually for business classes, a large number of areas received new textbooks. The new textbooks received this year are: Math- General Math; Algebra and Geometry; English-Literature for ninth and tenth grades along with Speech books and Creative Writing; Health; First-year Spanish; Personal Finance; Home Econo- mics; and Science-Physics and Biology. In some cases, such as Social Studies, new books were not purchased, but instead, the same book was purchased to replace torn and worn out books. There is also a chance many more new books will be purchased this year for the next school year. This would include the books that were not replaced this year, such as History or Social Studies. Student Life 35 Mike Murdoch Sets National Record i The students of Hill-McCloy were sur- veyed on their likes and dislikes. The fi- nal outcome showed that the students are split in many areas. We had three categories that were tied. For best and worst class, math took them both. General Hospital took best and worst soap opera while Bugs Bunny- Road Runner Show took the best and worst cartoon. We did have certain winners in the other nine categories. Rocky IV didn ' t star Many fine athletes have graced the wrestling mats of Hill-McCloy High School in the last 10 or 15 years. Most of the really superb wrestlers have been part of a string of brothers. Severns, Silvas, Deans and other family names have helped make Montrose what it is in wrestling. This family wrestling tradi- tion seems to have come to an end with the passing of the ' 85- ' 86 season. So, it is only fitting that we saved the best ' til last. The youngest Murdoch (Courtney and Shawn preceded Mike) not only is the winningest wrestler ever Montrose — he is the best in the nation. His 209 victories over a four-year career shattered Scott Duncan ' s mark of 201 and brought the record back to Hill- McCloy where it belongs. (The Silvas, Gary and Jerry, both had held the record until ' 82). Not only did Mike break a national record but he is the only four-time state champ to come out of Montrose. There is no question that Mike Murdoch is 1, but through his leadership and example over the past four years, he has helped pull the entire Montrose wrestling team together as one. Students Split in Survey Molly Ringwold in it, but they did win best movie and best actress. It should be no surprise either that Sylvester Stalone won best actor. Larry Hagman should ' ve played in Pee Wee ' s Big Adventure since they both received worst actor and movie respectively. Brooke Shield re- ceived worst actress again this year. The worst video was Michael Jackson ' s Thriller . Dire Straits ' Money for Nothing was awarded the best video. To many people ' s surprise, Alabama won the best group while Motley Crue was awarded worst group. The best song is That ' s What Friends Are For by Dionne Warwick and Friends and Eat It by Wierd Al is the worst song. Once again the vettes won best and worst. That is corvette won best car and the chevette received worst car. Many students would rather listen to FM 106 rather than FM 102. The students at Hill-McCloy would also like to spend their spare time at a football game instead of watching a basketball game. 36 Student Life Seniors Senior Div.

Behind the direction of Mr. Jim Blackburn, the Student Council was busy with various activities designed to either raise money or to promote school unity. In addition to their traditional operation of all homecoming activities, the Council was involved in getting a Spirit Rock to place in front of the school, running a Data-Match service, sponsoring the Homecoming and Sweetheart dances, and other projects.

The game was neck and neck all the way to the final whistle. When the dust cleared, Linden had won by 10 points (the value of one question). But wait! A protest had been filed, Linden ' s bonus questions had been used in a pre- vious game. After days of deliberation, with both teams waiting for the verdict, a decision was reached. The final score was allowed to stand. It was a depressing moment for the Montrose team. Even though they ended up losing the match, they refused to allow it to stop their enjoyment of the game. They con- tinued scrimmaging other schools and feeling confident that they would have won.

As his page goes to press, Scott Cohoon nd Richard Cummings were leadlocked for first place in the first ournament of the season. rophies were awarded to tournament winners, and each member received a medal. A match with Clio was also scheduled later in the season. Our members were very faithful in their attendance and enthusiastic in their participation, commented seventh-year sponsor, Rod Studaker. Everyone seemed to enjoy the mental competition as well as the opportunity to get to know each other better.

One of the most worthwhile organiza- tions in our school successfully complet- ed its second year. That organization was S.A.D.D. (Students Against Driving Drunk). S.A.D.D. again helped create more awareness of the hazards of drinking and driving. A pop can drive was held to help raise money for the club so they could effectively get the word out to ev- ery Hill-McCloy student. Signs were made and hung throughout the Commons to remind everyone about the importance of safe driving. Contracts were also drawn up for students and parents to sign — the agreement outlined the duties of both parties in case a stu- dent should ever be involved in a poten- tial drinking-driving situation. The club can ' t claim that it has done a bit of good at Hill-McCloy, but who knows how many lives have been saved because of the efforts of the members of Montrose ' s S.A.D.D. organization?

Tri-editors Carla Hromek, Monique Huntley and Tami Walli teamed up to make the awesome responsibility of putting out a yearbook an enjoyable experience. Production of the 1986 Rambler year- book offered a stiff challenge to a relatively small and inexperienced staff. A couple of subtle, but expensive, changes were made in this year ' s book. An additional eight pages were added and a different type of cover was used in order to make the book a little better. The challenge for 1985-86 was two-fold: put out a quality yearbook and, at the same time, find a way to raise the more than $10,000 necessary (up from $7, 500 just three years ago) to produce a book of this size and volume. Every member had to work hard to earn over $4,300 in ads and sell 450 books in a school with a population of less than 600 students in order to keep the Rambler one of the cheapest books to buy in the state. They had to work even harder to make it a book worth reading. Just about all of us have had to put in several extra hours after school and on weekends, says Tri-editor Carla Hromek, but if the book turns out to be as good as we think it will be, it ' ll all be worth it. Yearbook 81 Drama Club Last year ' s millage approval enabled the Drama Club to make its successful re- turn in 1985-86. The club did not let in- experience hinder its enthusiasm as it scheduled two plays and a talent show during the year. The club was sponsored by Mrs. Bonnie Stone and Mrs. Jean Stewart.

More work went behind this event than most people realize. Prom Committee 83 Concert Band This year ' s concert band saw a great change with a wave of freshman coming in to enlarge the band. The band has a few of its members going to the solo and ensemble festival. The band went to a concert band festival on March 15 to play and hopefully earn a rating of a 1. This is the band ' s goal because it has been many years since the band re- ceived a 1 at a festival. Maybe this year ' s increase in size will help change this string of bad luck. 84 Concert Band Karla. Debbie. Patti. and Kim play their clarinets with great enthusiasm.

Lynda Pringle, Julie Berney, Penney Johnson, Scott Zrakovi, Bret Green, Kelly Krupp, Angie Huested and Lisa Howard. A new club was formed this year — Fo- rensics. Although a couple of individuals tried last year, this season marks the first time in several years that students have been given the opportunity to par- ticipate in a variety of public-speaking events against other schools. Montrose competed in week-end tourna- ments in February and March before moving on to state competition in early April. This page had to go to press be- fore actual competition began, but it appears Hill-McCloy has a lot of talent for a first-year team. The members are: Lisa Howard and Lynda Pringle in Serious Interpretation, Bret Green and I Kelly Krupp in Humorous Int., Angie Huested and Scott Zrakovi in Radio Broadcasting, and Julie Berney and Penney Johnson in Original Oratory. They are coached by Mr. Studaker. 88 Forensics Sports Sports Div. Page 89 Montrose ' s varsity football team streaked to state quarter-finals en route to a record-setting season. For many, the most exciting game of the season was the Rams ' impressive 20-6 triumph over highly- touted Beecher at Atwood Stadium. The key to the success of the sea- son was the attitude of the players and the off-season preparation for 1985-86. The team work was a fac- tor in the success of the season. We had a motto 33 brothers are hard to beat . All team members were able to live with that concept , quoted from Mr. Hayes. The team finished a perfect 9-0 in the G.E.C. and was league champs for the second year in a row. Overall, they were 10-1 with their only loss coming in the quarterfinals against Marine City. The Rams ' leading individual rushers were Jamie Wilson and Noel Dean. John Wixson also broke records this year and was the leading receiver. He grabbed 63 passes for over a thousand yards and 17 touchdowns. Scott Aldred set four school records this year by completing 95 passes for over a thou- sand yards. He tossed 20 touchdown passes.

' s Have High Points Despite Record The JV football team traveled a rocky road in ' 85, dropping seven of nine deci- sions on the way. Despite the losing I record, the season was not without its high points. The highlight of the season was probably the New Lothrop game when the Rams came back from a 6-0 deficit to score an 8-6 win in the waning moments of the contest. Quarterback Phil Chops Hernandez scored on a broken-play conversion after Mark Griswold had scored the tying TD to give the Rams the 8-6 victory late in the game. The leading rusher on the team was Dan Shmidt and the top receivers were Ron Walli and Ryan Cross. Ron Walli breaks into the clear in Montrose ' s victory over arch-rival New Lothrop. J.V.

The Rams finished with a solid 9-5 GEC mark, good for fourth place. First-year coach, Doug Kinter chose to not dwell upon the team ' s ordinary record, but rather upon his squad ' s extraordinary effort: I was impressed with the girls ' desire to work hard. Many teams had us in talent, but our team had more desire, we were able to suprise many teams. Talented senior Emily Tafoya led the way by averaging 19 points a game and hauling down nearly 10 rebounds per contest. Tafoya and the other two sen- iors on the team, Tami Walli and Carla Hromek, provided valuable leadership for a young Ram squad comprised of three juniors, three sophomores and ex- change student Sharon Harris. The Lady Rams may have been small in number and small in size, but the 10 girls played with a large amount of heart and determination in 1985. Senior Tami Walli launches an outside jump- er in the close battle against Ovid-Elsie. Jill Setzke takes a jumper over a Wolverine defender to cap another win.

Coach Smith said, Although the year was an average one, we accom- plished much more than any record or stats can show. Greatness was not in being strong, but in the right use of strength! By season ' s end we were indeed a team of strength. All the girls worked extremely hard during the season. This work especially paid off for four of the Lady Rams. Jenny Wilson, Toni Sue Hromek, Terra Harris and Raeann Papineau were moved up to the Varsity team for dis- tricts. The whole team and Coach Smith deserves to be congratulated for a good season.

Cross Country 97 Finish Third in States Wrestlers Ride Class Act to Victorious Season The Montrose Wrestlers proved once again in the 1985-86 season that they are a class act. Mike Murdoch made history when he broke the national win record of 201. (At the end of the season his career record was 209 wins, 9 losses and 1 tie). The senior weighs 145 pounds and is a four-time state champi- on. He has 44 consecutive tournament championships and 538 career takedowns. He is one of the most gifted athletes to pass through Hill-McCloy. Mike is not the only Ram wrestler with talent. Seniors Brent Domine and Noel Dean are both three-time state qualifiers. At 198 pounds, Brent was runner-up this year. His hard work earned him a career record of 138 wins, 19 losses and 105 pins. Noel, at 185 pounds, was runner-up at states for the second year in a row. He has an impressive career record of 172 wins, 32 losses and 110 pins. Ryan Cross was the only sophomore that qualified for states this year. His season record of 32 wins and 19 losses foreshadows a career record he will be proud of. The past dynasty has been in class C , but now that the wrestlers know what to expect, and now know that we can compete in the tougher class, I think it is going to be a bright future for wres- tling at Montrose, said Coach Claus. Waiting is the hardest part. Senior Dan Eastman knows what it takes to be a Ram wrestler. Senior Brent Domine takes down the wres tier unlucky enough to be his opponent. 98 Wrestling Montrose Opponent 24 Shepherd 47 34 Mt.

These girls put heart, spirit and a lot of hard work into keeping things running smoothly at the wrestling tourna- ments. The squad is made up of three sen- iors, three juniors, and two sophomores. They take stats, work the tables, update the wall charts and cheer the guys on. It was a lot of hard work, said Amy Spencer. But it was worth it to see the guys do so well in states. We were really proud of them. Vicki Gall works hard on making posters for the Montrose Invitational. Mary Dean concentrates on keeping the wrestling stats up to date.

The players worked hard and gave true meaning to the word team- work. Many people were surprised by how well the team played this season and the boys made Montrose Hill- McCloy proud. Although several players showed individually how much talent they possess, it was the group effort that the team put forth that made this season a winning one. One J.V. player was brought up to join the Varsity half-way through the year. Dan Shmidt quickly proved that he fit in and made the team complete. The team ' s strong points were rebounding and scoring. Scott Aldred led with 248 rebounds, while Pat Crock- ett scored the most with 372 points. The most memorable game was prob- ably when the Rams beat New Lothrop 65-59, after losing to them before by only two points. Even though it was a lot of hard work, most of the team feels it was worth it. It was an enjoyable season. It ' s too bad we didn ' t win the league, but we had fun in the process, said Scott Zrakovi. Tim Walli launches an off-balance shot against the Bulldogs. 17-5 was a good record and I ' m proud of how the players worked and cooperated with each other and the coach, said Coach Rich. But we were disappointed about losing the league championship. They may not have won the G.E.C., but this hard-working group showed lots of class in ' 86. v, ' Rocket shoots for two.

The J.V. Basketball team, described by Mr. Wright as the best team he has ever coached, raced to a league co-champion- ship, despite several obstacles along the way. The talented J.V. ' s compiled an impressive 11-3 record in the league, despite the loss of playmaker Phil Chops Hernandez (due to injury) for much of the season, and the departure of their leading scorer, Dan Shmidt, to Varsity. Losing 40 percent of your original start- ing line-up is usually enough to make any team stumble along the way, but Ron Walli and Shayne Powell stepped to the head of the pack to take up the scoring slack and Clyde the Glide Griswold took control of the boards. Our biggest victory was probably the double overtime win at Bentley after be- ing behind by ten at the half, comment- ed Coach Wright.

With a large group of 15 players, the ability and hard work was there: the team shared equal talent, equal goals, and equal success. The JV ' s first notable achievement was winning a silver medal in the Flint Win- ter Games before losing out for the gold to Bentley. Their best moments came in their very next league match when they gained sweet revenge against Bentley by trouncing the Bulldogs, 15-3 and 15-0. Team captains Joanna Wiitala and Colleen Murdock led the setting attack. Ace serving was found in Terra Harris and Bridget Kovl while Toni Sue Hromek and Vikki Lovasz were the leading spikers.

Montrose ended its season with a record of 17-14, having won more regular sea- son games than any other varsity volley- ball team in Montrose history. The GEC Conference was well-balanced this year, and Montrose ' s record of 8-6 was good enough to tie for third place. The volley- ball team defeated Atherton for the first time in more than six years knocking them out of a tie for the league champi- onship. The team also swept their two- match series with Hamady winning from them for the first time in more than six years. Co-captain Tami Walli, along with Jill Setzke and Carla Hromek, were the team setters, and did an outstanding job in leading the team. Tami earned first team all-league selection. Co-captain Kelly Polzin and Lisa Brooks, the swing spikers, starred particularly on defense. They also won honorable mention. Monique Huntley and Kim Johnson were the middle blockers and principal spikers, while Lori Carmicheal, Patricia Hernandez and Missy DeWitt provided capable spiker back-up skills.

They earned three thirds and one fourth during competi- tion. They also captured the most improved squad a- ward. The team put in a lot of practice hours and hard work, as there were only three returning veterans. The squad had many money-making projects as well as a car wash to earn money for camp and uniforms. During homecoming week, the cheerleaders sold carnations and continued the spirit chain tradition. During the season, each girl was assigned as a secret cheerleader to four football players. Before every game, she did some- thing special for each one of her guys. It provided a new fun-filled way to add a twist of excitement in preparing for each game. Overall, the season went well and they proved how much school spirit we do have. Congratulations to our enthusias- tic cheerleaders. Cheerleaders: Front: K. Polzin. Middle: A. McAuley, A.

The JV squad contributed a lot of time and hard work this year, making signs and doing special things for the basketball and foot- ball teams. The football squad went to camp during the summer and at the University of Michi- gan in Ann Arbor, where they earned two fourths and one third place ribbon in com- petition. They also came away with the most improved award. The basketball cheerleaders held a cheer-a- thon to raise money. They did a cheer 100 times consecutively.

Cheerleaders Groundwork Laid for ' 86 JV ' s Improve Despite Losing Record Coach Bob Masser ' s JV baseball team encountered rough waters last spring. The young Rams had to work through a sea of losses before finally earning their first victory late in the season. Montrose was forced to sink or swim with a freshmen-dominated lineup and an inexperienced pitching staff. Unfortunately, the Rams often drowned in an ocean of hits, errors, and base on balls, as the opposition often scored in double figures. To the JV ' s credit, however, they kept plugging away throughout the campaign and they were clearly an improved team by season ' s end. With most of its players returning after gaining valuable experience last year, Mr. Masser ' s crew should enjoy much smoother sailing in ' 86. Freshman John Silman took his lumps at times, but gained valuable experience during the sea- son. ioiL T. - « . Dave Wilson is a picture of concentration at the plate.

The pitching-rich Rams also received strong performances from a host of other individuals, most notably John Wixson, Jamie Wilson, and Scott Zrakovi. The Rams had a balanced hitting attack, boasting six .300 hitters, led by Brian Gross ' .390 average. Scott Aldred led the team in RBI ' s with 29 while hitting a healthy .376.

Claiming league championships were Linda Rose in the high jump, Angie Case in the two mile and the tal- ented quartet of Donna Rose, Emily Tafoya, Angie Case and Marilyn Dowell in the two mile relay. The gals finished fourth at the regional meet at Durand with Marilyn Dowell winning both the 880 and the mile run and the two mile relay girls showed their winning style once again. Rose, Tafoya, Case and Dowell capped off a great season with their record setting time of 10:01.6 for the two mile relay at the Champion of Champions meet and their seventh place finish at states.

Track 115 Strong Effort Earns Respect Track Spirit Revived in ' 85 Darin Williams refuses to give ground to a Hamady opponent. Freshman Kenya Humphrey looks forward to a promising track ca- reer at Hill-McCloy. Montrose ' s track program was in serious condition heading into the spring of 1985. Participation in track had been dwindling steadily during the past few years at Hill-McCloy until it hit an all- time low in ' 84. The team was more like a small club as only a handful of ath- letes came out (and stayed out) for the sport. If one considers this recent history, the 1985 track program must be termed a huge success. Although the squad was a small one, it was indeed a team ... a competitive team. Behind the direction of first-year coach Lee Westervelt, Montrose conceded nothing to their opponents on their way to a fifth-place finish in the G.E.C. The 400 meter relay team was probably the brightest spot as Ricelor Humphrey, Everette James, Darin Williams and Pat Crockett teamed up to become the con- ference champions in that event. Coach Westervelt and his athletes are to be congratulated for their efforts throughout the season and for their contributions in reviving the track program at Hill-McCloy. 116 Boy ' s Track Everette James flies through the air with the greatest of ease.

Young Lady Rams Win; Set Ground Work for Next Year The Varsity Softball season last year proved to be very satisfactory in the opinion of Coach. Smith. The team was led by the only returning senior, Marie Webber, who batted .474 during league play and .460 overall. Although she saw limited action as a pitcher in 12 games, Marie impressed with a sparkling 1.87 league ERA. She was voted GEC first- team shortstop. Other first-team GEC selections were Pitcher Robin Burry and outfielder Anne Somers. Both girls were unanimous first- team picks. Jill Setzke earned honor- able-mention catcher and Tami Walli was a second-team winner at third base. The Rams ended the season with a 25-8 mark. Coach Smith says the highlight for her was watching our girls gain confidence and poise as the season progressed. The Lady Rams were the Cardiac Kids of the Montrose sports program, as they were involved in seven extra-in- ning nail-biters. Montrose won five of those overtime contests. Coach Smith considers the 11-inning win over Millington in the districts to be the most exciting. This is when I knew our girls had come of age, remarked the veteran coach. We ' ll all look back on this ' 85 season with pride and we will definitely be awaiting the spring of ' 86! Montrose Opponent 3,11 Clio 1,7 13,5 Corunna 1,3 9 Birch Run 6 Durand 4 1 Mt.

The highlight of the season was when the team won the Montrose Tournament. The leading hitters were Amy LaFramboise, Denise Burkett, and Lau- rie Collins. The leading pitchers were Toni Sue Hromek and Chris Nicholas. Mr. Studaker ' s comments on the season were, this team was an enjoyable group to work with ... , all but two of our players were freshmen, so we should be really tough in 1986. He went on to say that we weren ' t an overpowering team, but we did the little things well and that helped us win a lot of games.

Page 121 MINI A G Bill Cosby William Henry Cosby Jr., star of the no. 1 rated television series, is being called the biggest star in America. This 48 year old star has a lot goin g for him. His recent success includes being the lead player, co-creator; co-producer; execu- tive consultant, and co-writer of the theme song of The Cosby Show. He works with several talented people on the show, but it ' s his wit and talent that makes the show a hit. His co-stars are his wife Clair, (Phylicia Ayers-Allen); oldest daughter Denise, (Lisa Bonet); oldest son Theo, (Malcolm Jamal Warner); middle daughter Vanessa, (Tempest Bledsoe); and youngest daugh- ter Rudy, (Keshia Knight Pullman). He stars as Cliff Huxtable. Cosby started his career as a young comedian in Pennsylvania and got his first big break when he was in the movie I Spy with Robert Culp, in which he won three Emmys. He then moved on to complete 10 movies and 22 record al- bums, which gained him seven Grammys. He has done commercials for Coke, Jell-o, Texas Instruments, Ford and DelMonte. He did the first Bill Cosby Show from 1969 to 1971, where he played a physical education teacher. He has appeared on The Electric Company, created the Fat Albert Show, and currently does Picture Pages for children on the Nickelodeon channel. He was raised in a poor family in the Richard Allen housing project in North- ern Philadelphia. He has four daughters Erika, Erinn, Ensa, and Evin. His wife ' s name is Camille. He is said to have a carefully guarded family life and a very public TV life. So, if you ever see a man with a Jamaican cigar the size of a small child ' s forearm, look close because it could be Bill Cosby. Reagan Survives Cancer Scare The Nation was stunned in the summer of 1985 by the news that President Ron- ald Reagan had cancer. The terror was short-lived, however. A successful oper- ation was performed by Dr. Steve Rosenberg. The actual operation took three hours, during which time the 25th Amendment was put into effect, which has power of the Presidency transferred to the Vice-President. The worst news of all was that the kind of polyp that Reagan appeared to have was villous adenoma, a growth with fingerlike projection that is likely to be- come malignant. Reagan had been offered the options of immediate surgery or a several week delay. He chose surgery and was operated upon the fol- lowing day. Reagan is not the first American presi- dent to become ill while in office. James Garfield was shot in 1881, and Grover Cleveland had two operations for cancer of the jaw, Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke and John Kennedy had slow mo- tion leukemia. Reagan ' s cancer scare seems to have been temporary and hopefully will never happen again. 122 Mini Mag Halley ' s Comet Halley ' s Comet is a bright comet named for the English Astronomer Edmond Halley. Before Halley made his investi- gations, most people believed that com- ets appeared by chance and traveled throughout space in no set path. But Halley believed that comets be- longed to the solar system and took defi- nite paths around the sun at regular in- tervals. He discovered that a comet had taken identical paths three times in the past years and he observed a comet in 1682 that also had the same path. He predicted that the comet would appear again in 1759 and at regular intervals from then on. Halley died just 17 years before his prediction came true. Historical records show that Halley ' s Comet was seen as long ago as 240 B.C. It appears about every 77 years. Halley ' s comet comes within 56 million miles of the sun and then swings out far beyond Saturn. But from the Earth, the comet can only be seen as it nears the sun. May of 1910 was the last time seen and it became brighter as it approached the sun and the earth. The comet ' s head was as brilliant as the brightest star. Its great tail stretched about two-thirds the distance from the horizon to directly over head. The next day the earth is be- lieved to have passed through the com- et ' s tail and that was the last time the comet was seen — until this year. This year, the comet will not be as glam- orous as it was in 1910. The comet is now visible with powerful telescopes and it will gradually brighten until it can be seen easily with the naked eye, some- time this spring. But it will be fairly low in the sky from most points in the North- ern Hemisphere and its tail will probably be short of spectacular. Halley ' s Comet is made of water in the form of ice and some traces of carbon dioxide, methane and ammonia com- pounds. The core is about three miles across and is surrounded by a cloud of gases and dust. The remains of the dust tail clutter the comet ' s wake and when it crosses the orbit of the earth it burns up in the atmosphere as a meteor shower. Viewing the comet will be better the farther south one goes. People will also have to get about 20 miles away from the city lights to see the comet. Businesses are saying that sales of telescopes and binoculars, Comet Catchers, have grown by 300 percent from past years. There are more than 900 astronomers from 47 countries studying Halley ' s comet and five spacecrafts which will view the comet. U.S. scientists hope to track the comet ' s 38 year journey to the far reaches of the solar system with the space telescope launched from the space shuttle. Beyond the Fairy Tale Four years after the royal wedding that transfixed the world, Charles and Di seem to be having some complications. Rumors are being spread about this glamorous couple and it ' s turning their life into a soap opera. Is any of it true? Probably not. That ' s the beauty of gos- siping about the royals. While the Prince has been slowing down his life, the princess has been speeding up hers. After bearing two sons, William (3V2 yrs.) and Harry (16 months), she could have easily relaxed and been a housewife. Ironically, she is at the busiest time of her life. She employs a nanny to help with the dirty work, while the princess tries to bring up her chil- dren as normally as possible. Diana spends an amazing $250,000 on clothes alone each year. That makes Prince Charles a little tempermental. Diana never wears the same outfit twice, (she once did so and it was splattered over the front page of the newspaper). So you can see why the budget is as high as it is. Despite all the gossip, this once shy, pe- tite young girl seems to be having a very happy and successful marriage. Her sons and husband are the most impor- tant things in her life, and she says they are also her prize possession . Mini Mag 123 A Year of Disaster Columbian Volcano It was just after 10:00 p.m. and most of Armers was asleep when the town was struck by a downpour of volcanic ash. Within an hour, the banks of the Lagunilla River burst, sending waves of mud six feet high through the streets. The mudslide claimed an estimated 20, 000 lives and left untold thousands injured. Special teams of American res- cuers stood by in case they were need- ed, as the Red Cross aided 60,000 homeless victims. The Reagan Administration dispatched 12 helicopters, 4 transport planes, tents, blankets, and first-aid equipment to the Columbian town. It was said to be one of the worst volcanic eruptions in history. In September, 1985, Mexico City, Mexi- co, experienced a killer earthquake . During the first few moments of the earthquake, very few people were alarmed because the previous weekend, the occupants of Mexico City, had toler- ated a mild earthquake. It was so mild that they hadn ' t even bothered to leave their beds. But it soon became apparent that this one was very different: metal lampposts bent like rubber, downtown buildings be- gan to vibrate crazily, and telephone and electrical wires snapped. A tourist from Delaware said that the motion of the ground was ... like a rippling ef- fect, up and down! The earthquake only lasted three minutes but as the dust and smoke settled to the ground, it was obvious that Mexico City had been visited by an earthquake that measured 7.8 on the Richter scale. At first, the number of casualties seemed relatively light, but by Friday evening the offical toll was 2, 000. Approximately 250 buildings were destroyed. The following evening while rescuers were searching the ruins, a second trem- or hit (7.3 on the Richter scale). Several buildings that had been affected by the first quake collapsed completely. John Gavin, the U.S. Ambassador, said, We are talking surely of 10,000 (dead) and maybe more. Once the world heard of the tragic disas- ter suffered by the Mexican capital, of- fers of money and supplies came pouring in from governments and charities around the world. The Mexican Ambassador to the United States refused extensive American assistance, but did accept some physical help from Washington: demolition and search-and- rescue experts were sent to Mexico City, and later in the week, Mexico is- sued a number of specific requests to which the U.S. government replied im- mediately. By Friday evening, the city seemed to be coming back to life. But again Mexico Whole World Shaken By Earthquake in Mexico City was not to be spared. At 7:38 that evening, another quake occurred. Throughout the city screams could be heard, and a new evacuation began. Subways stopped, as commuters stam- peded out of trains and stations. Rescue workers fled from the ruins, fearful of being buried themselves. Saturday morning after-shocks hit the Mexican capital, with seismologists predicting that others might follow. Mexican officials had been aware of the possibility of a major earthquake, and geologists said it was long overdue. But they were not prepared for the strength of the quake that occured on Thursday morning. It is being called one of the gravest disasters Mexico has suffered in history . The clean-up will last for months and the cost of damage will set this capital city back several years. But worse than the financial destruction is the damage to human lives. The tragedy experienced by the victims and their families can never be measured in dollars and cents. 124 Mini Mag The Tragedy of Our Generation Every few years or so, a remarkable event accents the history of our nation. Unfortunately, the events most remembered are often tragic. Most of our parents can probably still vividly re- call exactly where they were in 1963 when President Kennedy was shot — it was the single-most tragedy of their generation. Perhaps the tragedy of our generation occurred on Tuesday, Jan. 28. Most of us were sitting in the classroom when the split-second explosion of the space shuttle Challenger took the lives of sev- en Americans just 76 seconds after take- off from the launching pad at Cape Ca- naveral, Florida. Teachers and students alike greeted the news of the fatal crash with a general sense of disbelief. I first heard about the crash from Paul Space, commented Senior Shelli Sedlow. He ' s always joking around, so I just laughed when he told me the Space Shuttle had blown up. I felt really bad later when Mrs. Cole said it really was true — it was just too awful to believe. The accident was portrayed by our country ' s media as a double-edged disas- ter. Not only did we lose Astronauts Scobie, Smith, Onizuka, McNair, Jarvis and Resnik along with school teacher Christa McAuliffe, but the explosion was also viewed as a major setback for our entire space program. Despite the catas- trophe, most students seem to feel that we should continue sending Americans into space. It was a terrible tragedy that we ' ll never forget, says Senior Stephenie Schultz, who plans to major in Astro-physics and hopes to someday travel into space. We grieve for the lives of our astronauts, but it should make us just that much more de- termined to continue forward with the same kind of spirit and enthusiasm that they showed ... January 28 may have become the tragedy of our time, but hopefully, the deaths of these seven brave Americans will only spur us on to even greater heights. Terrorism 1985 was one of the worst years ever for terrorism. It has been destroying t he peace and frightening citizens all over the world. In June, a group of Islamic fanatics terrorized the passengers and crew of a Transworld Airline, Flight 847. They forced the crew to fly the plane from Athens to Beirut, to Algiers, back to Bei- rut, on to Algiers and then off to Beirut once more. Most of the passengers were American Marines. After several days, passengers were finally released and the terrorists blew up the jet. In October, in Cyprus, three heavily- armed Palestinian terrorists boarded a small yacht and seized three sleeping Is- raelis, killing them before surrendering to authorities. On October 10, terrorist Abul Abbas escaped prison and travelled to Sicily, Rome, Belgrade, South Yemen and finally home to Baghdad. The U.S. fears this man will never be recaptured and punished and they also wonder how many more victims he will terrorize. In December, in Egypt, airflight 648 be- came a bizarre tragedy. The Egyptian commandos tried to overcome the hijackers, but after 10 hours of executions, 57 of the 98 people were killed. The hijackers joked and danced every time they killed another passen- ger. Washington quickly expressed support for Egypt ' s action to stop the loss of lives. At the close of 1985, 15 innocent travel- ers were murdered at an airport in Rome. Among the victims was 11-year old Natasha Simpson. President Reagan places much of the blame for these killings on Libyan leader Moammar Kadaffi and terrorist-specialist Abu Nidal. These two men are believed to be actively supporting terrorism around the world. Mini Mag 125 Madonna During the 60 ' s and 70 ' s, female singers were either singing love songs or belting out rock-n-roll. But all were totally dressed: then came along Madonna, with her belly-button showing (and in her vid- eo-clips such as ' Material Girl ' nearly everything else was also showing). The coming of Madonna marked a defi- nite change. Many people, especially the male population, may say it is a change for the better because she adds more variety to the pop scene. However, many others are horrified at the inhibi- tions of this going lady from Pontiac, Michigan. Madonna, though, is a person who knows what she wants, and usually gets it. This can be seen from her rise to fame in the last couple of years with hits like, Material Girl and Like a Vir- gin . In 1985 especially, Madonna has cer- tainly made an impact on the world. First, it was discovered that she has starred in a soft-porn, low-budget film called A Certain Sacrifice in 1979. Then both Penthouse and Playboy an- nounced that they would print nude pic- tures of Ma donna. On August 16, Madonna married Sean Penn, and the two were said to be the most unlikely showbiz couple of the year. To top it off, Desperately Seeking Susan which starred Madonna, was released and proved to be a very successful film. Although Madonna is disapproved by some, she has proven herself very successful, both as a singer, and as an actress. Live Aid Bob Geldof had a dream to stop world hunger. He enlisted the help of Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie to compose a song called We Are the World. Geldof brought together more than 60 stars to record this highly-emotional song. The song was an instant hit and became a top seller on the charts. It made millions of dollars to help the famine-struck African countries. er as one to feed its hungry. Geldof and Harry Belafonte recruited over 100 stars from all nations to help with performances and to do volunteer work. This was to be one of the first times in recent history that all nations pulled together for a single cause. As July approached, the anticipation grew stronger. Geldof still wanted to do more; he want- ed to raise more money. He thought if one song could do so much, maybe he could put a whole concert of stars to- gether to perform not just in America but around the world. Bob shared his dream with others and started on his long journey toward that special day in July when the world would come togeth- The dream of Live Aid became a reality on July 13, 1985, when more than a billion people came to Wembly Stadium in London and to John F. Kennedy stadium in Philadelphia, to feed the hungry of the world. The concert earned over $70 million, but this money was not enough to stop the African famine — it was only a start. 126 Mini Mag Advertisements Ads Div.

S earch for the combination that makes it all worthwhile. Each tiny little fragment takes its special place To form a priceless picture that time cannot erase. It wasn ' t always easy to make each corner meet, But now our work is finished — the puzzle is complete. -zj-rr -u u JB 3l ' OiaJT = CL NTER-COLLEGIATE PRESS (fa A DP : PHES 16 !
