A Time for Silence, Confidence There was a time for silence, a time when a quiet corner was a haven that was very precious. The confidence exhibited by people around us was also a part of our high school experience. It was found in many of our classmates. It takes confidence to get up on stage in front of people and try and re- member lines. Confidence is need- ed for and athlete to get out in front of a large crowd and keep fighting when things look bad. It takes confidence for most students to get through any school day. We also saw confidence shown by individuals outside of school. It took courage and assurance for the Iranian hostages to survive their ordeal. We witnessed the self-as- surance of political candidates as they compaigned for elective of- fices. The year was full of confi- dences and experiences which will be remembered for many years. Hopefully, they have been instru- mental in the way we handle our future. MHS Is People It seems ages ago—that first day at school. Twelve years seems like such a large part of our lives, but it is so insignificant when you think of how much longer you have to live. The memories we've gathered since then will stay with us for a long time. When you were little, the days use to just melt into each other, one day indistinguishable from the next. Summer seemed ten years long and the school term never seemed to end. But now days will seem even shorter and the years will begin to fly by as fast as the days once did. The future is suddenly the present, all the things you planned to do when you grew up you should be doing right now. Giving and Sharing Carefree, Innocent, and Free Carefree and happy, innocent was just as important, and young. If only your future We found happiness in friend- could be as your past has been. It ship. It was good to meet a close was something to be able to walk friend in the hall and to stop and alone with only your thoughts as talk to him. Time really flew by company. But being with hundreds when we were having fun with of other people in a crowded gym people we liked. Enjoy Your Youth Some say that people should be born old and die young. They say that children are too young to en- joy youth because they don't un- derstand, and adolescents just don't care. Are they right? We couldn't stop everyday and say how lucky we were to be young. We didn't have time in our adolescent years to worry about growing old. We were just too busy having fun and enjoying our youth. However, at times, like in the spring of our senior year, or during the graduation ceremo- nies—did we worry about aging, or about all our good times as chil- dren. Should we be born old? � The Primary Conditions of Joy The primary condition of friend- ship is joy. Look back to when you were a child. You and your friends found joy and happiness in play- ing house or cowboys and Indians. Do you remember holding hands and walking to school? Once you were older, your friends were of your own sex. Boys hated girls and girls hated boys — that seemed to be the thing to do. If you even acted as though you liked this girl or that boy, the rest of the kids teased you until you couldn't stand it. Now many of us are looking for- ward to marriage and raising a fam- ily. In your adult life you may never again see your old friends, but you make more new ones.

Instead of announcing the Queen and court at the usual as- sembly, three Senior girls and three Senior boys were elected, all to await the night of the big game to find out who would be the queen and her escort. Freshman Wendy Becker and Duane Hoffman were named atten- dant and escort of their class. Jen- ny Craig and Jeff Ford were picked to represent the Sophomores.' Angie Weatherly and Ed Dennis were chosen for the Juniors. The three escorts selected were Dan Deming, Jeff Filbrandt, and Brian Yost . . . The three attendents cho- sen were Janice Bramble, Jolene Flynn, and Maria Themins. As excitement grew, on October 17th, everyone was hoping for a victory over the Hastings Saxons. Jolene Flynn was announced Homecoming Queen with her es- cort Jeff Filibrandt. Queen Jolene Flynn and her escort Jeff Filbrandt were chosen to represent the Seniors during Homecoming. Another nomination for Senior Queen and escort are Maria Themins and Brian Yost. U Dan Deming and Janice Bramble are chosen to stand for their class.

I'm sure anyone will agree that it was a tradition accept- ed with open arms. The students showed their approval by their enthusiasum in the events during the Thursday night and Friday afternoon assemblies. The hall of M.H.S. were designed and decorat- ed by the students to show the inthusiasum they had in their class. The Thursday night activities managed to rouse the nonpartici- paters. The final scores of Thursday night showed: the Seniors in first, the Juniors in second, and the Soph- omores in third, followed by the Freshmen in forth. After all of the excitement everyone met in front fof the bonfire to pay our tribute to the Hastings Saxons. The fire was warm, but not as warm as the hearts of each participating student. M.H.S. students had worked on floats for competition all week. It was really exciting when the last tissue was to be stuffed and the last paper mache item was boarded on the wagon. All the floats were transported to the field for judg- ing. With the Sophomores vectorious on that particular com- petition. The Seniors came in a very close second, with the Fresh- men coming in third and the Ju- niors in last. With a strong look of determination on his face, Phil Lasky spider crawls his way to the finish line Competing in one of the most tiring of all homecoming events is Teresa Wirebaugh and Bryan Clutter Trying not to drop his balls, Todd Kenwor- thy heads on to a 2nd place victory. 16 The Marshall student body enjoys the fes- tivities around the bon fire. Completing the final lap of the couple relay are John Katz and Lori Becker. 17 M.H.S. students had worked on floats for competition all week. It was really exciting when the last tissue was to be stuffed and the last paper mache item was boarded on the wagon. All the floats were transported to the field for judg- ing. With the Sophomores victori- ous on that particular competition. The Seniors came in a very close second, with the Freshmen coming in third and the Juniors in last. Some of the other finals were: In first place for the third year in a row were the Seniors on Tug-of- War, with the Juniors pulling a second, the Sophomores a third, and the Freshmen a forth. In the tricycle race, the Freshmen were victorous. The Seniors came though in the United Fund, Ju- niors second, the Sophomores in third and the Freshmen in forth. The Big Mac eating contest turned out to be a surprising event with the Sophomores chowing their way to a first place. The football hike was also taken by the Sophomores. These two events proved to be a contributing factor in the final turn out of the activities. The Sophomores ended up being the winners with a total of 105 points, and the Seniors close behind with 103. The Juniors ended up with 83 points for third place and the Freshmen finished with 54 points. Chowing for (he class of '82' is Ann Geething and Tom Nelson. The freshman give it their all to out pull the junior class. 18 Taking 1st place in an event that takes per- fect balance and much practice is Maria Themins and Duncan Conley. Jumping their way to a junior victory is Bryan Clutter and Heidi Harrison. It's all up to Kurt Ulrich to hike the ball correctly to Jeff Devries if the seniors are going to achieve a 1st place victory. Angie Kedo Reigns As Marshall's Junior Miss The 16th annual Marshall Junior Miss Pageant was held on Novem- ber 29th and 30th at the Marshall Middle School Auditorium. Perfor- mances began at 7:00 each evening. The annual event was sponsored by the Marshall Jaycees and the Jaycee Auxiliary. This year's pag- eant featured 33 contestants. The girls were judged on scholastic achievement, youth fitness, poise and appearance, and ability in cre- ative and performing arts. Senior Angelia Kedo took the honor of winning the 1980 Junior Miss Contest. Other award winners were: Rose Lautzenheiser who was 1st runner up and Saturday night's creative art award winner; Tina Sil- vers got second runner up; Jill Beebe won Spirit of Junior Miss; Mary McAuliffe won the Friday night talent award; and Linda Maresh was the scholastic achieve- ment award winner. Giving a hug of congratulations to Angie Kedo is last years 1st runner up, Allison Burris. 1981 Junior Miss Angela Kedo accepts con- gratulations from fellow contestants Linda Maresh and Rose Lautzenhauser.

Musical Is Hit Of Season Once again another outstanding musical has been produced. With the help of Miss. C. Lee Ralston, A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum turned out to be a great hit. It took four weeks to prepare for the full scale musical, and by No- vember 21st, the 35 students plus the 10 crew workers were ready to go. Everyone worked well together so instead of the usual eight to twelve weeks of work, it only took them four weeks. Some of the cast are as follows; Tim Lake, Pseudous; Alex DeFinta, Sinnix; Todd Climons, Hysterium; Paul Rauth, Hero; Ken Capman, Erronius; Eric Sullivan, Miles Aloriosus; Tom James, Lyaus; Jenny Craig, Phille; and Terry Burns as SoMinia. The pianist was Kindra Chadderton, the assistant director, Nancy Green, and Stage Manager was Mike Osborne. Next year Miss Ralston is look- ing for something to do with mys- tery, and comedy. It's not conclu- sive yet, but maybe something along the lines of Annie , The 12th Night , Peter Pan or West Side Story . 23 'Twisting in the Fifties Another great dance to Bunny Hop, Twist, and do the Swim was held Friday, April 24th in the High School gym. The 50's dance this year was just as big a smash as last years. A different kind of fashion show went on this year though, such as a black silk dress with spider webs worn by Kristi LaBonte. Dan deming dressed like a Blue's Broth- er, and Theresa Dunham wore an old fashioned wedding dress. The- resa and Dan received the best dressed awards, while tin Silvers, Michelle Wentz, Kristi LaBonte, Scott Hodoval, Lynn Cain, and Mitch Glanis received honorable mentions. Not only were Dan and Theresa best dressed, but also were named best dancers of the night. Judges Chet Sturdevant, Ben Armstrong, and Joe Summerfield hope to have another great turn out for next years hop when we all rock around the clock. Getting into the 50's craze are Kurt Ulrich and Patti Frank. 24 Hanging out at the 50's Dance are Trudy Me Farland, Brian Fuller, Laura Booten and An- nette Burrows. Being “wild crazy guys are Greg Taylor and Scott Hodoval. Portraying one of the many 50's hoods is Dean Wolfman. The Awakening of Spirit and Pride The enthusiasm of the student body made all the difference in the outcome of 1981's Spirit Festi- val. This year's competition was the closest and most exciting that we have witnessed in years. Even though Spirit Festival was delayed a week due to snow days the stu- dents never lost their spirit and re- mained keyed for the festivities soon to follow. During Friday's as- sembly the classes competed for points in such events as spider crawl, pizza eating, division prob- lem, multiplication problems, name that tune, free throw, basketball bounce, shuffle board, ping pong, couple relay. One new event that proved successful was the peanut butter eating contest. The building of class pyramids proved to be the closest competition, the decision made by the judtes was with in .01 of a second and the Juniors were given the final points to put them one point behind the seniors who were in 1st place. As the points were tallied, the whole student body waited patiently for the final score of this year's Spirit Festival. The freshman took 4th, Sopho- mores came in 3rd and one point away from tieing for 1st were the juniors . . Seniors came in 1st place with a score of 76. The Spirit Festi- val was capped off with a victory Basketball game for M.H.S. against Coldwater. The Freshman class piles student upon stu- dent to build their class pyramid. 26 Juniors Laura Charmeda, Lori Becker, and Todd Kirkby await their turn to participate in the couples relay. Coach Labadie judges seniors Lori Burns and Mike Loyer as they pig out in the Piz- za eating contest. 27 STUDENTS RECEIVE SPECIAL AWARDS On the day of the Awards As- sembly, hard work pays off for the seniors, as well as the underclass- men. The accomplishments of the student body are recognized at this assembly. Students are rewarded for their academic skills, their athletic ability, and their service to various school-related organiza- tions. This year, teachers selected two students from each department to honor. These students excelled in such areas as math, science, Eng- lish, and history. They were pre- sented a special plaque or certifi- cate. The Steve Wasielewski Scholar- ship was given to Jeff Filbrandt and Trudy Almarez, on the basis of their outstanding school service. The Bill Holt Award went to ath- letes Ken Harris and Kelly Caron. Congratulations to all award win- ners! The following students received Academic Awards: Row 1.

The students at M.H.S. became more involved with school spirit was hiked up again this year. After each game, football or basketball, the students looked forward to go- ing to the dance to boogie down . Surprising enough the school got together some good bands. This helped attendance too. Hopefully, the spirit and enthusiasm of M.H.S. will continue to grow in the years to come. While the band take a break Michelle Wentz and Nancy Cams discuss ideas of fu- ture dances with chaprone Brian Burns. Rocking with the rhythm, is Scott Hodoval with the help of Dianne Wolfman and Phil Lasky. 30 Trying to set a new dance trend, is three- some Sherry Zuckswartz, Vance Bodell and Angie Walsh. In addition to good ol' Rock and Roll, Steve Seele and Stacy Kelssling enjoy one of the more mellow tunes. 31 Becky Adamczak Trudy L. Almaraz April A.

The years went quickly and at last it was our turn to shine. It was the class of 81's final year and every senior was prepared to make the most of it. Cheryl M.

As Freshman We Learned And Matured As Freshmen we came into a to- tally new atmosphere which was quite bewildering to most of us, but we quickly adjusted. We had no idea how much we had to learn or how much we were going to mature. But we were all looking forward to our first year with much anticipation. The Seniors sensational Float gained them a second place in Homecoming. Annette Burrows Kim Caffrey Lynn Cain Susan B.

Jay Flynn, or Steve Boehmer. 41 Taking Chances and Learning Along the Way Then at last it was our senior year. It really seemed strange en- tering the school knowing that we were the oldest. When we stepped into MHS as seniors, we began to face an assortment of confusing feelings. We'd finally reached our fourth and final year, so we knew we had to make it fantastic. But we also had to face the future—do we need college, should we get a job? Then again, most of us had a bad case of senioritis where we just didn't want to do anything. But most of us came back down to earth to make the important deci- sions that would effect the rest of our lives. Robert Manning Linda Maresh Lori S. Masters Chris Maybee Mary R.

We made it and no one will ever take away the many memories that we will all carry with us through the rest of our lives.

Surprisingly enough, they even took some time out from their studies to have a lit- tle fun. Whether competing in Ju- nior Miss—or Junior Mr., punking out to Whip It , or hamming it up for yearbook pho- tographers, they always managed to make even th dullest classroom fun. Oh, yes, they did manage to brown-nose Mr. Davis occasionally. So, we decided to give you a glimpse of some Seniors at their best.

Class Night '81 Way Out! This year the seniors decided on a rather different theme for their class night. The planet earth was paid a visit by two alien creatures, Bloop and Bleep, portrayed by Lynn Cain and Wendy Fitch. The creature's hosts for the trip were the Lone Stranger, alias Phil Lasky, and Pronto, alias Matt Tuck. These four emcees, under the direction of Ms. C. Lee Ralston, helped orga- nize and perform a well-rounded Class Night. Some of the more memorable skits of the night were The Beach Boys, Classic Class- room, Whip It, and of course, the popular flying family— The Flying Figs. The senior class would like to give special thanks to Ms. Ralston for her hard work and dedication. Without her know-how Class Night 1981 would not have been possible. Marshall Cops Terry Clutter and Ken Ronan have some problems apprehending suspect Mike Loyer. JoJo Filbrandt and Scott Hodoval announce their version of the 6:00 news—at 4:00. 51 Among the most popular acts, “The Beach Boys were imperson- ated extremely well by Hawaiians Jeff DeVries, Dan Deming, Phil Lasky, and Dick Smith. The Clas- sic Classroom skit featured a cast which brought to life many of the daily occurances that we students are familiar with. Some good ex- amples would be the morning an- nouncements— which we never heard, or those glorious days of air-conditioned winters and heat wave summers. Another of the favorite skits would be “Whip It. This was a new wave dance to the song by DEVO which bears the same name. This dance featured punkers Todd Maisner, Shaun King, Kurt Ulrich, Dan Deming, Brian Yost, and Scott (Hooter) Hodoval. Traditionally, there is at least one half-crazed act, where partici- pants display their underlying tal- ents—such as flying, throwing things around, and playing leap frog. This year the Flying Figs, were no exceptions. This skit was about the world-famous circus fam- ily, the Figarellies. With the Figs at center ring, the Master of Ceremo- nies, Tim Goheen, introduced this famous group consisting of: Mary Samson, Scott Hodoval, Michelle Wentz, Todd Blair, Jeff Filbrandt, Vicki Bogard, Terry Clutter, Eric Ranger, and the smallest of the Figlettes, Figlette Figgie.

Bloop (Lynn Cain) and Bleep (Wendy Fitch) think Class Night is far out. In Scholars for Dollars Carissa Connelly's cheerleading proves to be too much for Scott Hodoval. 53 Free The Class Of '81 Although the weather was wet and the graduation ceremony had to be moved to the gym, the 216 members of the class of '81 kept their spirits high. Jeff JoJo Filbrandt was selected by the Seniors as class speaker. After receiving a standing ovation from his classmates, Jeff talked about the ideas he felt were impor- tant to the class of '81. He spoke of high school memories, and ex- pressed his hope that the Seniors would succeed in the biggest school of all, the school of life. The Commencement Address was begun with a final resounding Welcome to Redskin Country by speaker Mr. Ivan Fleser., who was retiring after 30 years of service in education. Mr. Fleser spoke about the importance of looking to the future, rather than dwelling on the past. He also reminded the gradu- ates to be on time, and to work as hard as possible, to give employers their best efforts for wages. Musical entertainment was pro- vided by the M.H.S. Band, under the direction of Mr. John Beery. As the graduates received their diplomas and performed the tradi- tional moving of the tassle, a feel- ing of confidence, strength, and pride enveloped the Seniors. It was obvious that the audience was whole-heartedly wishing for their continued success. Delivering an inspiring message to the graduating seniors is speaker Mr. Ivan Flaser. Marching down Michigan Avenue is an ec- static senior class. 54 Mary Stockel waves to the crowd, thrilled that the Seniors have finally made it. Rainy weather certainly didn't dampen the spirit of these Seniors participating in the traditional senior parade Seniors show the whole community their joy at the idea of freedom after a long 720 day captivity. Flesser a Dedicated Worker for Thirty Years. Thirty years of faithful service is worth more than just recognition. Ivan Flesser has received awards and much recognition throughout Marshall for his many accomplish- ments. Mr. Flesser is now working in the Marshall High School Coun- selor's office as one of the finest counselors. He has had much ex- perience working with students of this age. He used to be an Assis- tant Principal and a teacher in Albion High School. He worked with Vocational Programming. He used to be a basketball and base- ball coach. With his experience in coaching, he has the job of an- nouncing some of the M.H.S. sporting events. Mr. Flesser's main and most im- portant job is still working in the guidance office. He helps make students understand more of their problems. There have been many troubled people who have come in to see Ivan Flesser and have left with a clear conscious and a smile. Mr. Flesser's work with kids is appreciated by many. Sometimes we forget to mention it but we can appreciate what he does for Mar- shall High School. Mr. Flesser is busy looking up schedules to see some of his students. Mr. Flessers part-time job takes up most of his week nights. While working with kids, he keeps himself busy. 57 Sports Illustrated Founder: Chet Sturdevant, 1954- Editor: Jody Craig Associate Editors: Mike Mumaw, Brad Petty, Leslie Price, Greg Taylor, Eric Tribby Staff Photographers: Richard Dunn, Paul Flessner II, A.S.C., Bob Walbeck Art Director: Tim Goheen Special Contributors: Bryan Dean, Connie Petch, Francie Russell CONTENT, 1981 Volume 63 Photo by Bob Walbeck Varsity Football Ends 60 Rebuilding Year Girls Basketball Team 64 Wins Regional Three Wrestlers Qualify 80 For State Beating Arch-Rival 86 Highlights Track Season Tough Team Effort: 88 A Baseball Must Rapp, Brian Whittaker, Ken Kipp, Fourth row: Coach Burger, Coach Armstrong, Mike Mumaw, Joe Jasienski, Jerry Lambert, John Coodale, Dean Wolfman, Dan Smaston, Trainer Tom Lawrence and coach Labadie.. 'Skins End Rebuilding Year The gridders finished this season at the dismal 3-6 record. The 'skins didn't have a exceptional year. The lack of experience was a big con- tributing factor. However, there were a few bright spots as Senior defensive halfback Kevin Casey, Ken Harris and Derek Vincent, made All-Twin Valley ratings. Vin- cent also earned All State honors. All of the boys made a major contribution to the team by keep- ing team unity, spirit, and by mak- ing the rest of the team work hard. Always remember that these guys never gave up no matter what the odds. Confidence and determination helps John Coodale strive for the long yardage.

There were a con- siderable number of freshman on the team. This tended to be a con- tributing factor in the ability of the squad. Coach Triece said that quaterback Alan Lord being a well- organized person in his actions. Sophomore Mario Casarez and freshman Walter Wilkins were a large factor in the Redskins victo- ries. They both played defensive positions. All in all the squad im- proved throughout the year. The record was four wins and three losses.

Alot of records were broken this year, 15 to be exact. The team itself broke six. Most points per game—74, Average points per game—51.5, Most wins—16, Field goal percent- age—38.9, and Free throw percent- age 58.9. The team finished third in the Twin Valley, but were Dis- trict and Regional champions. They advanced to the quarterfinals only to be beaten by Livonia Ladywood by three points. Although the team is losing a few seniors (Lorri Burns, Sharon Davis, Rose Lautzenheiser, and Deb Theaker) they are working hard to do well next year. GOOD LUCK!

'They are still a young team but they had a good year.f The team fulfilled two goals they set for themselves: they won the Twin Vally Championship and they won 13 duel meets and lost 1. Their sole loss was to 1 rated Jackson Lumen Cristi. The runners overcame many problems through- out the year. The team was plagued by injuries as well as illnesses. Next year the harriers should be poised to experience an even better year!

The high points of their season includ- ed a 10th place team finish at the state meet and Marshalls first state champ swimmer. Returning letterman from last season were Julie Osborne, Mary Stage, Heather Brazas, Mary McAuliffe, Melinda Varner, Beth Harwood, Carolyn Bedford, Patty Franke, Francie Russell, and Heidi Clifton. A relay team consisting of Franke, Russell, Brazas, and fresh- man letter-winner Beth Fryar, placed 7th in the state meet to win the consolation final heat. Brazas also swam to a first place finish in the 200 1M to become Marshall's first state champion in swimming ever. Coach Les McCormick also men- tioned that the girls placed 2nd at the Albion Relays, 2 points short of 1st place winners—Sturgis. This was an exciting accomplishment since it was Marshall's first show- ing in the meet. Overall, the girls and McCormick were happy with their 7-4 record and wish luck to next years swimmers. The team also wishes Mac good luck since he will be leaving Marshall and going to Montana. Good luck Mac — you will be missed!

They also finished 5th in the T.V. conference. Playing the number one position for the skins was senior Scott Hodoval, who was voted “Most Valuable , Most Improved , re- ceived the Lear Kaye award for the lowest scores, and the Marsh Nowlin Sportsmanship Scholarship. This was the first time in Marshall High School's history that one player has received all the awards. Also having a good year for the Redskins were juniors Chris O'Conner and Mark Meservey; both were chosen second team All- Conference. Overall, the boys had a very im- pressive year, placing 6th out of 18 teams during the regional matches. The outlook on next years team will depend largely on how the re- turning golfers improve. There will only be two returning lettermen for the team during the 1981-82 season, but coach Reynolds is opti- mistic due to the large amount of improvement from this season.

Playing varsity this year were senior returning lettermen, Kelly Caron and Jenny Burns. The two seniors played first and second singles respectively, and ended a successful season with a 12-5 record. Sophomore Kristi LaBonte handled third singles, compiling an overall individual 9-7 record. At the number four spot in singles were Tina Silvers and Sharon Schaffer. Senior Nancy Cams and junior Colleen Clement played first doubles with Lynn Meinert and Colleen Woodbin backing them up at second doubles. At the end of the season Sports Banquet, the girls named Kelly Caron Most Valuable and Jenny Burns Most Improved. Mr. Rauth noted that although he had a young and inexperienced team, with the exception of Kelly and Jenny, he thought the season was satisfying and is hoping for an even better season next year. Senior Jenny Burns grits her teeth, giving her that extra umph in her serve.

Al- though the terms seem contradic- tory, both are appropriate. Coach Tom Sowles and his team were disappointed with their 7-14 record but were, never-the-less, pleased that the group was able to function well as a team. Sowles and other Twin Valley observers termed the 1980-81 season as a re- building year. The spirited team was led by re- turning lettermen Phil Lasky and Brad Petty. The rest of the team consisted largely of juniors. These juniors will return next year with poise, experience, and confidence necessary to clinch the league title. Highlights of the year included a 49-47 win over defending TV champ and arch-rival Albion. The team, regardless of the final out- come always kept Redskin fans on the edge of their seats. Nine of the 'Skins 14 losses were by margins of eight points or less. We'll get 'em next year! Front row: Bob Yonkers, Guy Mullen, Phil Lasky, Brad Petty, Dan Demming, Greg Taylor, Mike Mumaw.

This season was a learning and experiencing one. We will have a young team, losing only six seniors, but coming back with seven returning letterman. The record for the season was eight wins and fifteen loses. This is misleading because alot of the loses were close scores. A couple of highlights for the season were Marshall beating Harper Creek and Hastings in the same night. We have a young team, but we are eager to learn and are ready for a great season next year.

The Redskins finished the season with a dual meet record of 15-0. Ben Armstrong's boys had a strong year in which they finished first in the Twin Valley, third in the districts and third in the re- gional meet. Marshall qualified two wrestlers for the state individual tourna- ment. Greg Marhle won the state title to join his brother as the only other Marshall wrestler to do so. Teddy Damron went to state and finished fourth in his weight class, the sophomore defeated many older opponents to accomplish this. 81 This year, the boys swim team underwent some drastic changes. The loss of veteran coach Les McCormick was a severe blow to the team. This was cushioned somewhat however by newcomer Brian Miller from Olivet College. Brian took over the headcoaching job when McCormick left. Due to the loss of many seniors from last year and the loss of Coach McCormick, the boys team finished the season with a depress- ing 1-11 record. At the state meet, which was held March 13-14 in Grand Rapids, senior Mitch Glanis finished twelfth in the 100 yard butterfly. 9 J 82 Senior Shaun King displays his popeye impression while listening for his time after a successful victory in the 100 yard freestyle.

The girls trained very hard, under the leadership of Coach Chris Papes, to finish fifth in the Twin Valley and third at regionals. Several individuals paced the team, as three varsity records were broken. Sal DeGraw broke the ex- isting shot put record, Lori Becker smashed the 220 low hurdle record, and freshman sensation Deb Norgan stole the two mile record. Behind every good team are some hard working seniors. Senior tracksters Patti Ramirez, Carolyn Bedford, Rose Lautzenheiser and Lori Burns contributed greatly to the success of the team; their lead- ership will be missed in the future. The 1982 team can look forward to further success due to the dedi- cation and porgress of the 1981 team.

The ponies finished 3rd in the conference, loosing to future champs Sturgis and runner-up, Hillsdale, by slim margins. Marshall boasted four state quali- fiers; Todd Kirby, Todd Kenwor- thy, Steve Boehmer, and Joe Jasienski. Senior Steve Boehmer went on to finish second in the state in the discus. Both All-State Boehmer and All-Conference Jasienski, set school records in the discus and low hurdles respective- iy Despite the disappointment of not being able to win the confer- ence championship for the third year in a row, the 'skins' anticipate another great year with many re- turning lettermen.

Redskins Have Up and Down Season The Marshall J.V. and varsity baseball teams fielded their way through a difficult season. The varsity, coached by Tom Sowles, ended the season with an 8-13 record. Despite the final re- sults, the 'skins' named three play- ers to the All-Conference Team. Phil Lasky and Jeff Eckhardt were both chosen First Team, All-Con- ference with Dan Deming named to the Second Team. The three were also awarded the Most Valu- able and Most Improved awards; Lasky and Eckhardt were picked Most Valuable and Deming Most Improved. This years seniors included Lasky, Eckhardt, Deming, Dave Flynn, Todd Frohm, Todd Maisner, Derek Vincent and Brian Yost. The seniors wish the best of luck to the 1982 team.

The team boasted three all-con- ference players: Kelly Caron and Tina Silvers on the first team, with Kathleen Moore on the second team. Kelly Caron had the lowest stroke average, therefore she was honored as the most valuable golf- er. Graduation takes its toll on all teams, and the golf team is no ex- ception. The following golfers are graduating: Tina Silvers, Kelly Caron, Joanne Kinney, and Rhonda Coats. The J.V. Squad consisted of Rob- in Hunt, Julie Willis, Liz Gammon, and Kelli Spears.

The netters, led by the excellent singles play of Jeff Filbrandt, took third in the Twin Valley and eighth out of sixteen teams at regionals. This years team also had a 5-2 conference record, losing only to Twin Valley champi- on Sturgis and runner-up Harper Creek. The three returning lettermen from last year's varsity were Scott Hodoval, Jeff Filbrandt, and Terry Clutter. The skins will return five lettermen for next sea- son. This years team consisted of Scott Hodoval at first singles, Jeff Filbrandt at second singles and Rick Weaver and Greg Taylor play- ing third and fourth respectively. In the doubles combinations, seniors Terry Clutter and Francie Russell filled the number one spot.

Cheerleaders Provide Spirit Marshall cheerleading corps form a vital part of athletics, while pro- viding enthusiasm and spirit to their teams. Both J.V. and Varsity cheerleaders performed well to the delight of the crowds this season. Many of the girls cheered for football in the fall, as well as bas- ketball in the winter season. Some football cheerleaders traveled to a camp last summer to improve the various talents that are required to be a Marshall cheerleader. Coach M.J. Harting will have many girls returning next year who have gained valuable experience this year. Although there is no cheerleading in the spring, some of the girls per- form in track and golf.

Or how student activities are planned and scheduled? The Build- ing Council is responsible for these and many other jobs. The Building Council is a board of students from each class and a group of faculty advisors. They meet regularly during the B-lunch to decide policies, plan activities, and hear some viewpoints from students. This year the Chairman of the Building Council was Jeff Filbrandt and Junior co-chairman was Jim Peters, who will replace Filbrandt next year. Scott Hodoval, Mike Vachow, and Greg Taylor prepare to give their view on the topic at hand. Without the faculty advisors time and ef- fort, Building Council would not be possi- ble. 100 Several members of the Building Council think about what they would like to discuss as they await the start of the meeting. Mike Beery listens as other students give their ideas. With the assistance of Junior Co-chairman Jim Peters, Chairman Jeff FilBrandt leads the discussion. 101 N.H.S. Lights The Way The National Honor Society does not look for talents displayed in only one area, instead, it views education in its entirety. To be- come a N.H.S. member, a student must excell not only in scholar- ship, but also in character, leader- ship, and service to community. Each year the Marshall Chapter of the National Honor Society selects some outstanding candidates for membership. This year there were six seniors and thirteen juniors se- lected to receive this honor, on the basis of their contributions to MHS and their outstanding individual qualities.

Teaches Many Responsibilities; Reaches Goals Future Farmers of America is an or- ganization for agricultural oriented students. F.F.A. teaches these students responsibility, leadership, and citizen- ship. Mr. Beneker advises F.F.A., and encourages them in activities. John Ffuepenbecker was elected president of the Marshall chapter for this year. This year the students participated in the F.F.A. Forum and placed very high in the rankings. The F.F.A. had a fruit sale early in the year as a fund raiser. They showed their sup- port of National F.F.A. week by driv- ing several tractors to school and parking them in the parking lot. They then drove the tractors down mainstreet in a tractor parade. 1980-81 FFA President John Huepenbecker is outstanding in his field.

These are the hours that the journalism department meets and works on both the newspaper and the Dial. This year's paper is again headed by adviser Mr. Chet Sturdevant and newspaper editor Matt Tuck, who helped the rest of the staff turn-out a bi-weekly newspaper called the “Interchange . These people gather interesting news sto- ries and exciting sports articles to keep us informed on the happen- ings around Marshall High. The yearbook is also advised by Mr. Sturdevant along with co-edi- tors Mary Samson, Francie Russell, and Leslie Price. A staff of 25 stu- dents work hard to produce the Dial. Returning members of the Dial staff Becky Adamczak, Jody Craig, and Angie Sebring were very valu- able assets to both the editors and the adviser. Many hours were spent by many people putting this yearbook together. Putting together a newspaper takes a group effort as illustrated by this group of Inter- change reporters. Everyone works hard to meet the deadlines that come with putting a yearbook together. From photographer to editor to advisor ev- eryone gets involved in putting together a yearbook. 106 Paul Flessner, yearbook and newspaper photographer focuses in on another inter- esting scene.

It is an interesting place that students, faculty and others at Marshall High School can explore knowledge from around the corner or from around the world. The library boasts a large collec- tion of newspapers, magazines, fic- tion, and, of course, a wide selec- tion of reference material. Mrs. Eleanor Housman, MHS li- brarian, keeps things organized with the help of library clerks Mrs. Shirley Goodwin and Mrs. Jackie Meade. They were also assisted by stu- dent helpers: Julie Augustine, Carisa Connelly, Karen Dillon, Delina Goode, Kelly Kinney, Mike Lafferty, Karen Loyer, Nancy Merchon, Brian Moffat, Kathy Ousley, Thelma Ousley, Leslie Price, Missy Sebring, Vicki Sherrell, Diane Weinert, and The- resa Wright. These students performed a vari- ety of jobs such as filing, manning the circulation desk, and delivering audio visual material. Vicki Sherrell spends one of her hours working in the library. Here she helps or- ganizing the vertical file. Brenda Howard and Tim Channey find that the library is the best place to concentrate on school work. 108 Delana Goode helps Missy Sebring find in- formation for her term paper. Mrs. Jackie Meade, Mrs. Eleanor Housman confer with Phys. Ed. teacher Tom Reyn- olds. The two assist teachers periodically with planning class activities. 109 Clubs With A Foreign Flair The language clubs at MHS had a very successful year. Both the Latin Club and the French Club seek to acquaint students with for- eign cultures and customs. The Latin Club, sponsored by Ms. Magnus, has numerous activi- ties throughout the year. Among the most popular activities are the carnation sales, the Christmas par- ty, and the annual slave sale. The Latin Club also presented MHS with a plaque which was given in honor of the spirit of youth and education. The French Club, sponsored by Ms. Harting, seems to emphasize one of the most unique and ele- gant aspects of French culture in their activities — the cuisine. Among the favored activities are the many gourmet pot-lucks, the French brunch, and the trip to the Renaissance Center to see works by the famous French designers. Members of the French Club include: Cindy Bodell, Beth Ickes, Jennifer Burris, Teresa Wirebaugh, April Frazier, Hillary Cook, and Lisa Bolinger. Members of the Latin Club are just so eager to learn a little more about Roman culture. no qr ■ Cedar f.l ' ft - Point or Bust President and Vice-president, Dan Smaston and Francie Russell, discuss their plans for the annual Cedar Point trip. The M-Club is just one of the specially organized clubs at M.H.S. The club consists of a faculty advi- sor and three student office hold- ers. This year, the faculty advisor was Mr. Ben Arnie Armstrong. Student officers were: President— Dan Smaston, Vice-president — Francie Russell, and treasurer—Jeff JoJo Filbrandt. Membership is obtained by win- ning a varsity letter and attendance at three meetings during the year. The M-Club works the concession stand for various athletic events such as basketball and volleyball games. Members also work at ticket gates for the Annual Sports Festi- val. The money earned throughout the year goes towards the Cedar Point trip at the end of the year. Members of the M-Club display the “dedi- cation and “hand-work needed to keep things organized. Mark Meservey shows us his razor stubble. Looking deep in their thoughts, members of the varsity club pay close attention. JA Offers Practical Skills Once again this year Junior Achievement had several compan- ies set up by students who wanted practical business and marketing experience. Junior Achievement is a national organization that encourages high school students to start their own companies to learn how business works. The companies are advised by two adults who try to oversee the opportunities of each individ- ual company. The companies elect officers and hold board of directors meetings through the school year. A president and three vice-presi- dents, each responsible for a differ- ent area head, up their companies. This year some of the items manufactured were: T-shirts, dart games, hangers, and sachets.. These members of Junior Achievement work to finish their dartboards by the dead- line. Junior Achievement requires lots of hard work as illustrated by these members. 112 Every member has their own job which is one reason junior Achievement requires lots of responsibility. Many times the members must work togeth- er to get their projects finished. 113 Many students who wish to learn a trade or those who need extra spending money but can't af- ford to take time off school are in- volved in M.H.S.'s Vo-ed and Co- op programs. Vo-ed is a program designed for Juniors and Seniors which will lead to a full time job upon graduation. Many students are placed on the job during their second semester and they continue full time employment after gradu- ation. Co-op is a part time job dur- ing school hours in which students receive credit for their work. Either of these programs is very benefi- cial to all students who get in- volved. Mark Kraushar and Jim Shreve take a break from their drafting for a picture. 114 Sue Keiper looks excited as she does her ac- counting. Valerie Mercer is hard at work as she types her assignments. Jay Flynn looks a little bewildered as he finishes his work for the day. Joe Zblewski attends the Vo-ed center in Auto Mechanics. 115 Speakers Dominate Tournaments The Marshall High School De- bate and Forensic Teams had a very successful 1980-1981 season. The highlights for the debate team included a first at districts for Mar Williams and Dawn VonThurn. They then qualified for the John S. Knight Scholarship. Earlier in the season. Dawn and Lynn Cain combined to reach the semi-finals at Pittsburgh Central Catholic High School. Finally, the varsity team of Tim Goheen, Mark Williams, Dawn VonThurn and Lynn Cain, finished ninth in the state. Qualifying for regionals from the forensics team were Tim Goheen, Janet Hamaker, Lori Watson, Brian Dean, Rob Porter, Jeff Williams and the multiple reading group. Going on to state were John Brundage, Scott Katz, Lynn Cain and Mark Williams. Mark Williams successfully qualified for the Na- tional Forensic Tournament at Salt Lake City, Utah, by his outstanding performance in the Lincoln-Doug- las Debate at the Michigan Nation- al Forensic League District Compe- tition. Row 1: Karen Veramay, Jennifer Burris, Janet Hamaker, Annette Burrows, Judy McFarland, Robin Dean. Row 2: Stacey Coats, Sharon Schafer, Tom James, Jeff Williams, Lynn Cain, Amy Cook. Row 3: Chris Schoenfeld, Darlene Howard, Deb Wheeler, Wendy Fitch, Dawn VonThurn, Lori Watson. Row 4: Brian Dean, Mike Brown, Dave Morell, Mark Williams, Scott Katz, John Brundage. The multiple reading group, which qualified for Regionals, consisted of Sharon Schafer, Paul Montgomery, Mike Berry, Brad Petty, Chris Schoenfeld, Deb Wheeler. 116 Preparing for State competition are Lynn Cain, Scott Katz, Mark Williams and John Brundage. fl e V III X v II T • ) -r I hliP iii'JtE IP m i n , v m A V 1 Lori Watson pauses to reflect upon her forthcoming oration. v - i, � V W: n V Dawn VonThurn and Tim Goheen admire their latest awards.

Lots of hard work and practice certainly paid off for the members of the band and the orchestra. Through out the long marching season the band performed bril- liantly, under the leadership of drum majorette Linda Maresh. Cli- maxing both the band and orches- tra year were outstanding 1st Divi- sion ratings at district and state competition. This feat was especial- ly difficult for the orchestra, as the successful performance occurred after a five year lay-off from com- petition. The band and orchestra are led by the very talented Mr. John Beery, under whose careful direc- tion both groups performed to a fine-tuned precision. Mr. Beery was assisted by student teacher, Mr. Adamus. Senior Buddy Peters reflects the pride and dedication of all MHS Band members. Mr. Beery awaits just the right monent mo- ment to pep up the home crowd with a performance of the Stage Band. Orchestra members attentively fiddle around during a rehersal. String along as Mr. Beery directs the or- chestra. 119 MHS Keeps On Singin' Along This year, as in years past, Mar- shall High School has retained its vocal department. Mr. Phil Clissold was director again this year and he was also assisted by student teach- er Van Lawson from Olivet Col- lege. The choir department is broken up into four different groups: Con- cert Choir, Vezzoso Voci, Marshall Singers, and Women's Chorale. These different groups partake in many singing events throughout the year. District and State Solo and Ensemble, District and State Choral Festival, Schuler's, Home Tour, National House Inn, and many concerts including a fall, winter, spring, and Pops concert make up a few of the places where citizens can hear the finely skilled voices of members of these differ- ent groups. In the vocal department mem- bers can begin their career as freshman and work their way up to an eventual place in the Mar- shall Singers. So if you have an in- terest in singing and enjoy and ap- preciate music the vocal department might just have some- thing fulfilling to offer you. Practice and more practice is needed to get a perfect balance and harmony. Music is the combination of beautiful voices, a good instructor and the fine touch of a well tuned piano. Just follow the notes on the board and the tune on the piano and the whole class will realize they can make beautiful music to- gether. 120 Mr. Clissold directs Singers in an “Old Fa- A select group of future singers practice the vorite to get ready to sing at Schuler's. song they will have to audition for the class. In basic vocal Mr. Clissold plays the piano while class members tune up their voices. 121 Is Business Your Goal Is a career in business or work- ing with numbers just what you're planning as a future goal? If so, Marshall High School has a wide range of courses that can help you along. There is everything from General Business and Business Law, to Typing and Accounting that is offered to the students as elective courses. There are five teachers who teach these exciting courses to any- one who wants to take them. They are: Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Burns, Mr. Engle, Ms. Papes and Ms. Reiger. These teachers try their best to give you the help and encourage- ment you need during the classes. So remember, if a business career is in your future, sign up and take one or more of these enlighting classes. They can really help you out. In Office Machines class, students learn how to use different types of machinery that is often found in offices. Mr. Armstrong watches over his accounting class as they finish up on another simulated business project. 122 Miss. Reiger corrects papers while Becky Adamczak types on one of the new elec- tronic typewriters. Refering back to some previous calculations, Ann Gething tries to find the problems in her bookkeeping set. 123 English Classes Boast Renewed Interest One of the graduation require- ments at Marshall High School is three years of English. For the first time many more seniors are look- ing beyond the basic three year re- quirement and are taking a fourth year of senior English. These stu- dents are realizing that if they read intelligently, write acceptably and communicate verbally they will stand a better chance of suc- cess in their total school exper- ience. Another change this year in the English Department was the pur- chasing of new grammer books for each grade. They replaced grammer books that had been used for sev- eral years. The teachers in the English De- partment provide for well-rounded education for each student. These teachers are: Ms. Dobbins, Mrs. Grove, Mr. Haroff, Mr. Ickes, Ms. Kinney, Ms. Magnus, Ms. Ralston, Mr. Sturdevant, Mr. Telfer, and Ms. Wingerter. Ms. Wingerter tells another one of her not- so-famous jokes to her Freshmen academic English class. Mrs. Grove patiently awaits the correct an- swer from her Freshmen English class. 124 Mrs. Kinney has no problem keeping her 11th grade academic English class attentive. Writing papers is one of the English De- partment requirement as demonstrated by one of Mr Sturdevant's English 9 classes. English 12 has become one of the more popular classes at Marshall High School this year. Ms. Magnus leads one of the twelfth grade classes through an English literature discussion. Reciting Chaucer to a 12th grade English class is Todd Frohm. 125 History A Better Understanding of Today History is a very important fac- tor in a student's outlook on life. It not only reflects upon the past, but it helps us to understand the present and the future too. Learn- ing about the money system, our government, the country, and the world is what these classes are all about. The History classes learn about the triumphs and tragedies of man's past, while Government and Economics classes study about our leader's decisions, and how money effects the public. There are five teachers who work to bring these subjects to us. They are: Mr. Cronk, Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Roy, Mr. Smouse and Mr. Wuori. Whether learning about World War II, or being subject to experiencing a Mock government Social Studies proves to be a rewarding class to take. While Mr. Cronk talks, his class take notes preparing for the upcoming test. Mr. Smouse and student teacher, Mr. Lewis, joke around while defining some basic gov- ernment terms. 126 Current Events is a weekly requirement in Mr. Roy's class. Mr. Roy listens as one member of his class gives this week's latest happenings. Mr. Wuori's Economics class is a must for Seniors, so the class listens as he explains some basic principles of our economic sys- tem. Bringing back the past, Mr. Hamilton ex- plains the Jefferson-Adams presidential race. American History requires more than just memorizing dates and places. 127 MHS Has Great Lab Facilities Science courses are one of the more popular courses to take at M.H.S. and the reason could very well be the science departments student involvement program. Mar- shall High School has the advan- tage of having great lab facilities where students can investigate and explore many scientific experi- ments. Mr. Cairns, Mr. Davis, Mrs. Edwards, Mr. Kelley and Mr. Malinowski are the teachers who teach students and guide them through an exploring process by having them learn many kinds of academic science skills. The stu- dents themselves have many choices as to what type of science they prefer. Life Science, Earth Sci- ence, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Microbiology and Genetics are the courses that are offered. Whether making white blood cell counts, doing reports, determining the mo- lecular weight of Ca OH, or just taking notes in class, one of these challenging and rewarding classes is for you. Explaining the newest concepts in Life Sci- ence is Mrs. Edwards with her freshmen class. Working on a Physics project are Mitch Glanis, Angie Weatherly and Chris O'Conner. 128 Mr. Kelley has no problem in keeping his biology class interested in his lecture. Lab clean up is a basic routine in any lab experiment, as demonstrated by Seniors Randy Fox, and Mark Dani. Tom James and George Schmidt eagerly await their lab results. Mr. Cairns patiently helps Michelle Cipcic with her physics. 129 Mr. Haroff writes on the board the Spanish vocabulary list for the weekly test. Latin keeps the students spellbound as shown by two members of Ms. Magnus's Latin class. . . With foreign languages precourses for col- lege, many students here at M.H.S. are tak- ing them in preparation for college. Wendy Becker and Jill Maybee try to figure out the next paragraph before beginning the translation. 130 Language Courses Brighten Day Foreign Language courses bright- en up the sometimes dull routine of required courses and other classes that M.H.S. has to offer. French, Latin and Spanish are the three languages that are taught to the people who choose these electives. The teachers who spend hours leading and willing people into the world of different lan- guages are: Ms. Harting, who teaches French I, II, Ms. Magnus who brings Latin to you and final- ly Mr. Haroff who enlightens the day with Spanish I, II and also ad- vanced Spanish. These courses are fun, interest- ing, and at the same time they can help you to expand your future goals. So remember to look over the possibilities and advantages of taking any of these courses. You'll be happy you did. Ms. Harting keeps her class's attention with a touch of humor. Members of French class study to learn the tenses of the verbs and French phrases they must know to pass the unit test. 131 Multiple opportunities in Math If you are planning a career in engineering, medicine, or perhaps if you just like working with num- bers, then one of the Math courses might be just what you're looking for. Since technology is advancing so rapidly. Math is obviously a wise course selection. Although MHS requires only one year of math, the Mathematics courses are always popular. The department offers a wide choice of classes from Tech Math to M.I.A. (Modern Introductory Analysis), which is for the very advanced math student. Instructors in the Math Depart- ment are: Mr. Elyea, Mr. Glynn, Mr. Machata, and Mr. Triece. These dedicated teachers can help you through your first, second, third or even your fourth year of even the most demanding class. So, whether you perfer solving equations, or proving theorems. Math offers a challenging and rewarding choice. Mr. Duffey stuns his pupils with another humorous joke. Enthused with a new assignment is math student Todd McAuliffe. 132 Bev Seedorf and Brenda Woods measure out the ingredients needed to finish another tasty treat. Art is fun, but it is also a lot of hard work. Three members of the sophomore class work to finish a painting done to their sat- isfaction. Cheryl Baker pours the freshly mixed batter into the muffin tins in preparation for breakfast. In preparing the next recipe, two girls from 5th hour advanced foods look in the supply cabinet for their required ingredients. 134 Homemaking Prepares Us For Life What do you get when you mix two cups of paint, four tsp. of su- gar, and a dab of life? When added all together, you should come up with what is perhaps the most cre- ative areas of the school — the Home Ec—Art Departments. The homemaking area prepares students for life in the real world. Courses offered in this area are Advanced Foods, Child Psychology, Designs for Living and Marriage, Society and Change. The art dept, lets creative stu- dents express themselves through many different forms of art. Classes offered in art are: Senior Studio, Studio 1 2, Painting and Drawing. Carlos Amaro, Jeff Thompson and Marty Damron watch on as DebPuff prepares an- other surprise recipe. Mario Caseraz, waiting for an inspiration, works to get his project done before dead- line time. 135 Veronica Kalisz and Mariann McDonagh take extra time to get their projects just right. Students Exposed to All Types Of Sports Physical Education is required of M.H.S. students so they can be ex- posed to all different types of sports. The class also keeps them in shape during the winter months, and gets them into the fresh air and sunshine in the spring. Though P.E. is only re- quired for two years, many stu- dents sign up for extra classes so they can run, stretch, and get away from the dull routine of their class schedule. All Freshmen must take gym during their first year at where they get a taste of all kinds of sports. They go through every- thing from football, basketball, and swimming, to ping-pong and shuf- fleboard, among many other activi- ties. During the second, third, or fourth year (depending on the in- dividual) the student is allowed to choose the type of class he or she prefers. Tennis and Bowling have been among the most popular part of this program. So remember, Phys. Ed. is the only class in M.H.S. that you can get credit for simply playing and perfecting your favorite sport along with getting rid of your ex- cess energy. Coach Reynolds spots while Scott Sodoval does a routine on the even parallel bars. Sometimes outdoors, this Freshmen class learns the basics of soccer. 136 137 Mr. Sampson, an M.H.S. student teacher, guides Fred Smith through some basic moves on the rings while Kurt Ulrich watches in the background. Height seems to be the edge when the game of basketball is concerned. Ping Pong is a sport that doesn't take much physical strength but alot of concentration as shown by Jeff DeVries. In the spring and fall, Ms. Hopkins takes her classes outside for softball tournaments. Industrial Arts For Those Who Enjoy Handy Work If you're someone who just loves working with your hands, or mak- ing a block of wood or scrap metal into something wonderful, then an Industrial Arts class is just the one to keep your skillful hands busy. In this department, you can learn to work with woods, or metals and learn about agriculture, and even drafting. These classes teach car- pentry skills, agricultural aspects, and architectural skills and you can even learn different fundamental values about yourself and the peo- ple that work around you. Mr. Carlyon, Mr. Murphy and Mr. Strough are the Industrial Arts teachers, and they give a lot of their time to help M.H.S. students do and become what they want most. So, if this type of work seems interesting to you and your lifestyle, then it is definitely worth looking into. Mr. Strough explains how to calculate the mea- surements when drafting the layout of a house plan. Tom Nelson and Bill Earp sharpen the blades of the table saw before cutting up the remain- der of the boards. Junior Stealy asks Mr. Beneker how to bend Brian Bennet cuts a board to fit his next project the hot plate when working on his ashtray during woodshop class, project in Metal Shop. 138 Dave Anderson looks up for the camera as he pounds out the imprints in the piece of iron. Members of 5th hour shop learn to use the machinery in the Industrial Arts Depart- ment. Looking frustrated and confused, Vicki Bogard attempts to finish her drafting as- signment. Smoothing out the rougher spots is part of the requirements. 139 On the Cover □ 168 Freshmen Cover Photograph by Paul Flessner Up Front Underclassmen Add to MHS Life Seniors • 32 Juniors • 144 Sophomores � 158 Editor-in-Chief: Angie Sebring Executives: Brad Petty, Leslie Price Photographers: Richard Dunn, Paul Flessner II, A SC, ACS Bob Walbeck Art Work: Tim Goheen 142 Juniors Prepare to Reign 144 We're No Longer U nderclassmen When the class of '82 stepped into the junior rankings, they were out to prove that they were no longer underclassmen.” They merged together and soon found the true meaning of school and class spirit. The people who played a big role in organizing the class were: Sal Degraw, president; Mike Beery, vice-president; and secre- tary, Lori Watson. Overseeing everything and just in general helping out the class was sponsor, Mr. Ben Armstrong. Armstrong helped organize many sales and events throughout the year which helped their bank ac- count grow bigger and bigger.

With spring came the big event of the year, the annual J-Hop. The Ju- niors put many long hours and much hard work into making this year's J-Hop a smashing success. With all of its glitter and shine, the Juniors made it a night to re- member for all who attended. Mike Lafferty checks out the daily news in the MHS library.

This did not dampen the Juniors spirits but proved to spark them. They gave their all and battled to the end, never giving up. Home- coming pulled the class of '82 clos- er together and helped them to achieve class unity.

They won the pyramid event in record time. The class of '82 pulled out a second place finish in the end just behind the Seniors by one point. The Juniors proved that they were ready for the battle and took their losses in stride. They devel- oped an immense amount of spirit and unity within their class which will stay with them throughout the years to come.

They attained class unity and made many new friends. They learned to take disap- pointment along with success and gained much maturity. They set forth a fine example to the under- classmen and they should be proud of the accomplishments they have made. They are now ready to enter into their final year as Seniors, but they will always carry with them the memories of a terrific junior year. 155 Greg Taylor hides during a lunch hour so that he can concentrate on getting his homework done. Students Learn Importance of Energy Saving Students attended many assem- blies this year, ranging from one's of entertainment to educational as- semblies. A representative from the Con- sumer's Power Company came to explain how essential saving ener- gy is at this point in our economy. Mr. Paul Vigginaro explained where our energy resources are and new ideas of energy such as solar and nuclear power. Several students got into the act, serving as educational tools. These students were, with the help of Mr. Vigginaro, able to demonstrate how we individuals can help save energy and preserve our natural resources. A special assembly was called in order to explain energy conservation by Mr. Paul Viggiano. In order to explain how important energy is to us, Jill Beebe and Dave Morrell voluntered to demonstrate on the tandem bike. 156 Cast members of You Can't Take it With You seem to be having a good time while learn- ing their parts. “You Can't Take it With You The second play performed this year, “You Can't Take it With You , was held in March. Ms. C. Lee Ralston and company put forth lots of effort to make the play a suc- cess, to the delight of many eager fans. The play was a comedy about a crazy, mixed-up family, the Syca- mores. The plot centered around the head-of-the-household. Grandpa Sycamore (Mike Berry), whose refusal to pay income tax put the family in trouble with the IRS. Adding further to the plot, a pair of young lovers, Alice Syca- more (Kindra Chadderdon), and Tony Kirkby (Jeff Weiss), found their romance jeopardized when the Kirkby family came to stay with tye Sycamores. Both the IRS man and the Kirkby's are aghast at the behavior of the household members and at their supposed talents . Among these zany talents are fireword building, playwriting, dancing, and zylophone playing. The humor re- sulted from the fact that all these talents were performed atrosiously. Fortunately, as in good comedy, love conquered all. Other cast members included: Paul Rauth, Alex DeFinta, Jackie Morris, Patty Perry, Tim Lake, Les- lie DeVera, Tom James, Eric Sulli- van, Jennifer Burris, Bob Veramay, Janet Hamaker, Angie Kedo, Mike Brown, Ken Capman, Dick Smith, and Gary Creller. Kindra Chadderdon, Tom James, Jen Burris and Jeff Weiss practice one of their scenes at one of many, many rehersals. 157 Class of 83 Learns Value of Responsibilities The class of 83 seemed to catch on quickly to the responsibilities and privileges of Marshall High School. Although some think of underclassmen as inexperienced, this class managed to come out just fine.

Many new exper- iences, such as the reality of letter grades, the color system for food, and the bookstore, were among the things the class of '84 had to learn. They caught on quickly though, and the excitement of being in high school began to take place.

A new school can be terrify- ing at times, but the Freshmen made new friends, and tried to learn from the mistakes of others. In time, they lost the feeling of be- ing the “new kids in town , and settled down to enjoy all that was revolving around them.

They learned class support was a key word, and they joined together in unity for the first time. Although they received a fourth place over- all, every class member can tell you they had a very good time during the entire week of Home- coming.

Together, Doris Taylor, Helen Smith, Nancy Nantz, Mr. E. Kent Esbaugh, and Mr. Raymond Davis keep the student body under con- trol. Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Nantz are all the backbone of the whole organization. As secre- taries, they keep order with all the paper work and minor details. Mr. Esbaugh and Mr. Davis are the head of the operation. They keep the student body under control most of the time. Without all these people the school system wouldn't be the same. Principal, F. Kent Ksbaugh smiles nicely for the yearbook staff. Mr. Davis, Vice Principal, appears to be busy keeping good track of attendance records. 178 Mrs. Nant , appears to be having a r ild day attending the office phone.

Just Teachers A group of several individuals not only guide us through our aca- demic studies but also help us over all the rough spots in life. Although, often times the MHS staff feels taken for granted by stu- dents, they are indeed much appre- ciated! We turn to them for knowl- edge, guidance and for friendship.

Pictured on either side of our regular music teachers are: Left, Greg Adamus; and Right, Van Lawson. Also pictured are Mr. John Beer)' and Mr Phil Clissold. The capable faculty that comprise the Mar- shall English department discuss some im- portant new teaching techniques. A Most Capable Crew The Marshall High School facul- ty has again proved to be one of the most capable on the area. They have shown great concern for the education of Marshall High Stu- dents. This quality is hard to find among most teachers today, but it can be found throughout the staff at the High School. Mr. Floyd Beneker lectures about the impor- tance of Crop Rotation. Miss Harting gives her intepretation of a well known French term. 183 Journalism teacher, Mr. Chet Sturdevant, looks a bit dazed as he prepares for yet an- other deadline. Mr. Bill Josephson, MHS placement direc- tor. helps students find jobs through the co- op program. Special Education teachers Mrs Bessey Ivey and Mr. David Palmer join librarian, Mr. El- eanore Housman and library clerk, Mrs. Jackie Meade for a short conference. 84 More Important People In addition to the faculty and administrators there are others at Marshall High School which help keep our school running smoothly. These people include cooks and maintenance personnel. Although sometimes forgotten, these people are an integral part of daily life at MHS. The maintenance personnel are supervised by Mr. James Shepherd while the cooks are under the di- rection of Ms. Karen Briscoe. Pictured above is the MHS maintenance staff. First row: left to right, Mr. Grant Wheaton, Mr. Glenn Barlow, and supervi- sor, Mr. James Shepherd. Second row: Mr. Luther Hall, Mr. Pete Amaro, and Mr. Ray Polendo.

In the beginning, our education is one of those ac- tions that may not have a clearly defined purpose. A high school student is often caught in the middle of indecision about his or her future. Life offers many roads for us to choose from. Sometimes the decision making process is a long and complicated one. During the high school years, we are maturing and often experienc- ing new feelings and dining our values. As the years pass, mistakes are made and corrected as well as steps taken in the right direction. The knowledge that is learned along the way is not what's impor- tant. It's what you choose to do with this education that shows how much you've grown. Tad Ulrich has that guilty look'' on his face as he sways to the music provided at one of the many informal dances at MHS. 210 Sal DeGraw, Kurt Ulrich, and Eric Clements are having quite a problem in mounting their “steads. All three participated in a donkey basketball game held to raise funds for the Oaklawn Hospital Auxiliary. Duanne Hoffman is obviously very anxious to begin studying his General Business. Many freshmen chose Business electives as part of their first year at MHS. Junior, Bob Yonkers, scores two points in the Redskin upset over arch-rival Albion. Chris O'Conner was one of the stand-outs on the MHS golf team this year. Here he attempts that crucial put on the 18th hole to finish well below par. 211 Dave Morrell and Jill Beebe combine their energies to make energy during our elec- tricity assembly. Mike Brown fumble foots his way through a dance. Watching a perfect golf shot fly is Tim Lake. 212 It Was Sometimes Difficult The days were hot in May and June and it was harder to get up and sit in a hot, miserable class- room. Seniors as well as under- classmen started going out to lunch more often and students skipped classes even more than they did during the rest of the school year. Mr. Davis, our assistant princi- pal, found it took more and more time to track down the skippers. It was a beautiful day, it's too bad Mr. Davis couldn't be there with us to enjoy it. Taking first place in boys intramurals are the Clip-Joints. Dan Deming, Shawn King, Jeff DeVries, Greg Taylor, Mitch Glanis, Bryan Yost and Mike Vachow fill in for the cheerleaders during a pep assembly. Pete Zapata manages to smile in American History. 213 The Marshall High School Ten Commandments. 1) Thou Shall Not Wear a Hat in Class. 2) Thou Shall Not Insult the Cheerleaders in the School Newspaper. 3) Thou Shall Not Cruise Around the Brook's Fountain More Than Three Times. 4) Thou Shall Not Get Beat by a Sophomore Class in Homecoming, Particularly If You Are a Member of the Senior Class. 5) Thou Shall Not Picket to Save a Teacher's Job. 6) Thou Shall Not Have Dan Smaston Read an Urgent Bulletin. 7) Thou Shall Not Be Seen at MHS Dances. � 8) Thou Shall Not Pay Attention to Educational Assemblies. 9) Thou Shall Not Gaze Up in the Library Unless t You Want a Face Full of Water. 10) Thou Shall Not Build a K-Mart in a Small Conservative Town. Although many setbacks throughout the year have delayed production of the 1981 Dial, we finally made it! First of all, the removal of Journalism advisor, Mr. Chet Sturdevant, initiated the beginning of many problems. While Mr. Sturdevant was advisor of the yearbook, he put in many long hours of assistance to help meet deadline requirements, (without his sense of humor I would have gone crazy a lot sooner than I did) Many thanks should go to Sturd for all his dedication and support on this yearbook. When every- thing seemed to be falling down around us, Mr. Sturdevant never seemed to give up. His belief that things would get done brought us through many trying times. Thanks again Sturd! Next, I would like to thank Mary Samson, (due to difficulties beyond our control, Mary left us at the end of the third quarter) Mary spent many long hours working on lay-outs and copy that other people neglected to finish. She also took time out from her sun-bathing to come in during the summer and help Ms. Harting and I fin- ish the book. In my opinion, Mary is one of the two best editors I know. (3 guesses who's first) Thanks Mary—you've been a great editor and friend! The third person I would like to thank is Ms. Harting. She took the responsibility of yearbook advisor after Mr. Sturdevant left. Even though she came into the class without any knowledge of putting a yearbook together, she learned quickly and with her help, the yearbook was finally completed. Together we worked into the late weeks of summer, trying to get this ( •$ (« ) yearbook done.A very warm and special thanks goes to this terrific lady for her support, help, flowers, and most of all, for being a great friend. Thank you for everything M.J.! The last person I would like to thank is Mr. Esbaugh. He took time out of his busy schedule to offer us help and encouragement. He taught us that strict organization is the key word for productivity. With his help we became organized. Thank you for your time and trouble Mr. Esbaugh. I appreciate everything you've done! (Especially calling Texas to find the boys track lay-out!) Throughout the year, there were a few hard workers (and you know who you were Angie Debring, Leslie Price, and Jody Craig), who completed their sections and helped out on others. I'd like to thank you for enabling me to rely on you when things got tough. I appreciate your hard work—thanks! Finally, I'd like to thank the photographers for their contribution towards the yearbook. This is a job which requires many hours of work outside of the room. You did a good job. Well, once again. I'd like to thank everyone who participated in the completion of this Dial. To say the least, it's been a unique year! Good luck future editors—believe me, you'll need it!
