Smiles, laughter, tears ... all ex- pressions of our years at MHS. Trying, failing, trying again . . . and finally succeeding. We are working our way up the ladder of life, one rung at a time. High school is one of the most important rungs of this ladder and a time to be remembered and cherished. High school years are years of con- structing and building, though ever so slowly, the future of our lives; years to make past experiences more meaningful ... to gain pride for what we have done, and what we plan to do. These four years are also a time to set new goals, and to try to meet them. Nothing can take these school years away . . . nothing except a fading memory. Take a good look . . . look back over the year . . . you may be sur- prised at the love, laughter, and good times that you had in your high school years. Chris Osborn waits patiently for someone to open the bookcase. I Watching the game attentively is the MHS band and color guard. Looking back at MHS....... As the school year began, we students thought ahead to the long year still in the making. Once again, everyone eot back to the familiar routine of scnool after the long lazy days of summer. As the year unfolded, it brought us many triumphs and some defeats. Looking back we saw the good old times of yesterday. Remember when we were in middle school, and we thought the world's limits were the boundaries of the MMS playground? Our minds filled with questions, we looked at high school with great ap- prehension. Once we arrived, however, we re- alized it wasn't so awesome and it began to feel like home. In fact, the four years at high school may prove to be the most intense, helpful, confusing, exciting, and treasured ones. They are the years of formation; the years that make us what we are to become. Mr. Davis smiles sweetly through the whipped cream on his face.

This could be consid- ered the most treasured moment of one's high school years. It demon- strates the respect and admiration of fellow classmates for those cho- sen. The assembly was at the begin- ning of the week and the student body filled the gym. The suspense grew within these students. This was the day that the king and queen of 1983-84 were to be elected. The first to be announced were the freshmen attendant Becky Bidwell and her escort Bill Dryer. The sophomore class was repre- sented by Natalie Parrish and Greg Machek. The junior attendant and escort were Renee Flynn and Chris Osborn. Jill Maybee and Ron Overhiser were chosen to represent the senior class. Then the king and queen were announced. Everyone was thrilled to hear the names of Mel Theaker and George Zapata. The week was filled with prep- aration for the Homecoming game Friday night. At the end of the week, the Homecoming game arrived. The attendants and their escorts were on the field during halftime in their formal gowns and suits and ties to represent each of the classes and their school. For these representatives and the king and queen, it was a Homecoming to be remembered. Enjoying the patio view are Homecoming King George Zapata and Queen Mel Theaker.

The week be- gan on Tuesday because of inservice day on Monday. Many of the students participated in the daily dress up. Tuesday was hat day, Wednesday was impersonate- a-cardinal day, Thursday was cartoon day, and Friday was the traditional red and black day. As the week slowly progressed, the students became more and more excited for Thursday nights' events. They included: the hula hoop contest, the tricycle race, the balloon toss, the frisbee toss, and the tug-of-war. By the end of the night, the seniors had taken the lead. Friday the students piled into the gym for the final competition. These events included: the crutch race, the jellybean toss, the uniform race, the jump rope contest, and the Big Mac eating contest. With each event, the excitement of every person expanded. As the assembly came to an end, the stu- dents built up all the energy they had left, and began the class com- petition cheer. The juniors were victorious in this event, but did not manage to beat the seniors in the overall scoring. The assembly ended with the seniors in first place. They were 25 points ahead of the juniors, who came in second. The sophomores were in third and the freshmen finished fourth. Friday evening, the Coldwater Cardinals were taken by surprise as the Redskins went on to a 17-0 victory. All the fans packed into the home stands and cheered the football players on to a victorious Homecoming. All in all, this year's Homecoming proved to be an ex- citing and eventful one to be remembered. 10 11 Jumping rope for the freshman class takes lots of concentration by Sherry Sandland and Danny Amaro. Students unite in Homecoming As soon as the lawn display theme was announced, stu- dents began to pull togeth- er for Homecoming. Throughout the week there were dress up days. On these days students wore hats, cartoon costumes, pajamas, togas, and the traditional red and black. During Thursday night's activities the classes were very spirited and worked together. Activities included the hula hoop competition, the frisbee throw, the inner tube race, body language, and the very com- petitive tug of war. When the stu- dents gathered together for the tra- ditional bonfire, the seniors were ahead, but Friday was yet to come. When Friday finally arrived, the lawn displays were completed and the students were all keyed up . During the Friday afternoon assem- bly each class competed in the ob- stacle course, jello sucking, jump rope. Big Mac eating, the uniform race, and many more. As the as- sembly progressed, each class united into a powerful, spirited group. All afternoon the classes worked very hard, but when it came time for the class competition cheer, every- one cheered even more. After the assembly, the point total confirmed the seniors were the victors. Winding up Homecoming, the football team wiped out the Coldwater Cardinals 17-0. In the end the students weren't seniors and underclassmen, they were all the Marshall Redskins and very proud. You're pretty smurfysays Rachelle Law- rence, Ms. Magnus, Kathy Bowen and Mi- chelle Bayley to Mr. Davis. The winning lawn display by the seniors is a colorful representation of the cartoon theme.

The class of 1984 shows their spirit. 13 Junior Miss promotes confidence On November 25th and 26th, twenty-nine senior girls competed in the annual Ju- nior Miss Pageant held at the Mar- shall Middle School. Each contest- ant learned a physical fitness and a poise and appearance routine. In addition, each contestant did an individual performance in creative and performing arts. Contestants were judged on these areas including scholastic achievement, and judges' inter- view. Junior Miss is basically a scholar- ship program, not a beauty pageant. Scholarships were awarded as follows: $800 to the winner, $500 to each runner up, $300 to each creative and performing arts winner and the scholastic achievement winner, and $100 to the Spirit of Junior Miss. This year's Friday night talent winner was Deidre Machek. Deidre performed a classical ballet num- ber. Adriana McCaleb was Saturday night's talent winner. Adriana danced the exciting six-step Scot- tish Lilt. Kelly Weaver won the scholastic achievement award; Jen- ny Clement received the Spirit of Junior Miss; Kim Harris was sec- ond runner up; Adriana McCaleb first runner up, and Mary Leichliter was awarded the title of Junior Miss of 1983, which made her eligible to participate in the State Junior Miss Pageant in January. The newly crowned Junior Miss said, Junior Miss is rewarding and worthwhile. It gave me the ability to perform under pressure, and get along with others. It was a lot of fun. I encourage participation. Congratulations to all the girls who participated in this event. Eagerly awaiting the judges final decision are; front row: Kelly Weaver, Shelley Lusch, Deidre Machek, Kim Chappie, Michelle Masters, Kim Kramer, Karla Elyea, Kim Harris; second row: Wendy Becker, Susan Krum, Rhonda Lautzenheiser, Betsy Nobbs, Inga Roe, Anne-Marie Holt, Kim Mumaw; row three: Amy Bessler, Hillary Cook, Gayle Hanover, Mary Malinowski, Mary Leichliter, Jenny Clement, Wendy Perrin, and Adriana McCaleb.

Spirit Festival—full of surprises Spirit Festival crept up on Marshall High School this year, and to everyone's sur- prise, the week of February 20th was suddenly upon us. All of the students had fun participating in the different events throughout the week. Everyone really seemed spir- ited as they dressed in hats, ties, and glasses, clashing outfits, 50's and 60's clothing, togas, pajamas, and red and black. Thursday night's activities con- sisted of volleyball, bingo, shuffle- board, and the exciting car packing, to name a few. After the Thursday night activities, the seniors were ahead, but not by much. Friday morning as students entered the building, senior hall threatened underclassmen with its ominous signs and streamers. The afternoon assembly competition was tough. The scores were close and no one had any idea which class would finally win. At one point it looked as if the seniors were going to win, but then the juniors won four consecutive first places. However, the score was still close and the class competition cheer was yet to come. The juniors and seniors tied in this event, but no one knew which class had won until the dance after the game, when the final tally was an- nounced. After all was said and done, the juniors were victorious by one point. On toga and pajama day John Labun, John Nowicke, Jon Proudfit, Mike Upston, and Charles Ham clown around in class.

The fifties' dance is an annual fund raising project sponsored by the senior class. The funds from the dance usually go to paying for graduation caps and gowns and other expenses incurred by the senior class. The day of the dance a group of seniors dressed in nostalgic '50's costumes and danced in the cafeteria to get the entire school in the spirit. Big Daddy Armstrong, alias Mr. Ben Armstrong, helps the senior class organize the dance and he usually has a lot of fun. He organizes the dance contest, the limbo contest, and the best dressed contest. This year's dance contest winners were Chris Rivard and Danielle Mumaw, Mike McCoy and Mary Maresh, and Craig Simmons and Connie Monk in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place respectively. Jeff Albright and JoAnn Dickey won the limbo contest, while Walt Wilkins, Ben Yost, Craig Simmons, Connie Meza, Chris Wotjas, and Jenny Clement were chosen best dressed. Overall the dance was successful for the seniors and everyone had a good time. 18 This Gang of Greasers consists of: Kevin Perrin.

It took place the evening of Saturday, May 12th in a well disguised cafeteria. The theme this year was a masquerade ball. Some of the couples wore the masks, the gloves and the glitter, while some just came in their formal attire. The band. Speed Limit, was playing in the corner with plenty of room for dancing. The dance started at 9:00 and ended at 12:30. The scene was a ball room with streamers and glitter. The tables were toward the back and there was a lot of room to sit and enjoy the punch and cookies that were available. Pictures were taken between 8:00 and 10:30 by Craft Studio. After the dance, the choices were bowling at Marshall Lanes or a movie in the auditorium. The mov- ie this year was 'The Birds , an old Hitchcock movie. This all took place from 1:00 to 3:00 a.m. The day after is usually spent at Lake Michigan or at Cedar Point. Wherever you go, you spend an enjoyable day with friends. Kristin Bills and Ron Sebring dance to the sounds of Speed Limit. During intermission, Sheryl Perry and Joe Dennis sit for a while. 22 Jill Maybee, Tim Wheeler, Deb McKiver, Kyle Albright, Sandy Perry, Rick Weaver and Todd Hinshaw all sit and talk during intermission.

Escaping the dancing excitement are Beth Heckert and Tim Ruch. 23 A closer look at Mrs. Kinney Mrs. Kinney was selected by this year's staff to be honored with the dedicat- ion of the 1984 Dial. She was cho- sen for this distinction because of her outstanding qualities as a teacher. Her high standards for student work and conscientious efforts in the classroom tend to bring out the best in her students. More than just educating them, Mrs. Kinney cares about her students as unique individuals. This year she taught eleventh and twelfth grade English. Stu- dents emerge from her classes at the end of the year with a better understanding of English, and also with a new friend. Mrs. Kinney really believes in the value of ev- ery student. Mrs. Kinney came to Marshall High in 1971 and has taught English ever since. Prior to her coming to Marshall, Mrs. Kinney taught for three years at Jefferson County Schools in her native state of Missouri. No, she didn't teach English. Mrs. Kinney began her teaching career as a physical educa- tion teacher. She later moved to Michigan and taught a total of 12 years at Farmington schools. She taught English at the junior high, and at East Junior High taught English and counseled students. Coun- seling was also her assignment at North Farmington High School. While teaching in the Farmington schools, Mrs. Kinney taught Pam Dawber, star of T.V.'s Mork and Mindy . Mrs. Kinney is proud of this association. While attending her high school. College Training School in Missou- ri, Mrs. Kinney was active in the pep squad, of which she was cho- sen president in her senior year, and was a member of the Green Dragon and Thespian Dramatics Clubs. She was selected outstand- ing girl athlete by her peers in the 11th and 12th grades. As a senior, Mrs. Kinney was a cheerleader and still has her sweater. After graduating from high school with a class of less than thirty, she continued her edu- cation at Southeastern Missouri State College, where she received a degree in education. She earned her M.A. degree in education from Wayne State University. Mrs. Kinney worked at Starr Commonwealth for Boys as a coun- selor for two years. She has been involved in many community activities. She is a member of the Board of Trustees for the Marshall Historical Society. In 1983, she was the recipient of the Community Preservation Award. Her hobbies include gar- dening and the preservation and restoration of historic homes. She and her husband. Norm, worked on the restoration of the National House Inn plus five other homes. They owned the Inn from 1976- 1982. We congratulate Mrs. Kinney on her excellence as a teacher and we are confident that she will contin- ue to uphold her standards. The staff and students are very proud of her and all of her accom- plishments. by Deb Stanley 24 Mrs. Kinney as she appeared earlier in her teaching career.

Many former students present Mrs. Kinney with apples for the teacher. Seniors look back It's hard for most seniors to believe that the time has come for them to make important de- cisions about how they will spend the rest of their lives. Some will choose college, while others will choose the job market, and still others will choose marriage. Just yesterday they thought hard decisions were what to wear, or how to ask Mom and Dad for the car. Now all that seems so easy and it's time to move on in life. Although most of the seniors will be going their separate ways, they will never forget their high school days. Marshall High School will al- ways hold memories to every graduating senior.

Seniors thought ahead to the time when the J-hop, Class-night, and even graduation would be nothing but happy memories. Even though they have left MHS, they will always carry these fond remembrances in their hearts.

The Class of '84 had so many memories of the four years of high school that the class made Memories the theme for Class Night this year. With the help of Mr. Brian Burns and Mr. Ben Armstrong, the class put on a very entertaining show. The show was funny, sad, and very touching and it really brought the class together. Some of the most outstanding skits were: Cinderfella , We are the seniors , Gee, Uncle Ray Davis , and the whole class singing Lisa Allen's original song, Memories of Yesterday . There were many tears and smiles for That was it . Class Night, 1984. No more high school years, just the memories of yesterday.

This was the last time they could show their class unity. To the sounds of Pomp and Circumstance , the graduates processed to their seats on the field. Reverend Thompson opened the ceremonies with the invocation. Senior class president and speaker, Michael Osborn, delivered the fare- well speech. Mr. Kent Esbaugh, Principal, then introduced the guest speaker, author and colum- nist, Mr. Sid Cato. Each graduate shook hands and received that valued diploma from Mr. Dale Benedict, Marshall School Board President. The walk to Mr. Benedict was actually a walk towards the future. A party honoring all the gradu- ates was held at the Marshall Country Club following the ceremonies. The buffet and dancing were sponsored by the senior class parents and were enjoyed by all. Preparing for the parade through town are Wendy Perrin, Jeff Weiss, Kelly Weaver, Mike Osborn, Marvel VanNuys, Lisa Weaver, Mike Hindenach and Ken Kilbourn.

The graduating class awaits the completion of the processional. 47 An evening of bittersweet memories Graduation is a bittersweet occasion for the senior members and their parents. It is time for rejoicing and yet a time for reminiscing on the past times and a life style which will never quite be the same. It is a chance for looking back, but, more importantly, a time for looking to the future. Seniors appreciate the time to sit and remi- nisce. 48 1984 GRADUATING SENIORS BEST or I.UCK, WITH LOVE: Mr. and Mrs. Albright.......................................Congratulations, Seniors Mark and Janet Banfield......................................Good luck class of '84 Mrs. Bolinger....................................Best wishes, Traci and class of '84 Cal and Sandy Boughton......................................Congratulations, Rusty Dad, Mom, and Kathy Bowen.....................................Congratulations, Jeff Mr. and Mrs. John J.

Pat Tate types the finishing touch on a sto- ry for the Interchange. This year's yearbook and newspaper staffs have worked harder than ever to produce a good, accurate account of all that happened during the year. With the return of Mrs. Gloria Wheeler as advisor, each staff member worked hard to reach her standards, but it was well worth the effort. The yearbook staff, under the guidance of Mrs. Wheeler, as advisor, with Kristie Page, and Deb Stanley, as associate editors, got off to a good start after the re-organi- zation of the staff. With 23 members, this year's staff proved to be the largest one to date. Nevertheless, with all these members there is still plenty of work to do and, it seems, never enough time to get it completed. This year's Interchange staff was composed of 14 hard-working indi- viduals. Jeff Albright served as edi- tor-in-chief and, together with the entire staff, created an outstanding newspaper. Subjects such as Junior Miss, Girl's Basketball, Homecoming, Spirit Festival, Sports Festival, Pops Concert, Class night, and the J- Hop were all given full coverage. Along with their advisor, Mrs. Wheeler, the Interchange and Dial staff succeeded in creating first-rate journalism at M.H.S. The 1983-84 Dial staff includes: front row; Kevin Perrin, Mary Wolfersberger, Diane Wolfman, and Craig Simmons. Second row; Tom Swarthout, Jennie Pyle, Mary Beth Whipple, Cece Aaron, Michele Zingrebe, and Mrs. Wheeler, advisor.

O C 3 s x 53 Debate is, a formal, orga- nized presentation concern- ing the need for a change from the status quo and the effects, good and bad it would bring, ac- cording to Ellen Lust, a senior mem- ber of debate. This year's topic, That the U.S. should establish uniform rules gov- erning the procedure of all crimi- nal courts in the nation, seemed rather good to the debaters. The 1983-84 Marshall High School debate teams have once again done a fine job of making our school very proud. The varsity debaters came out of the State tournament showing their true style. After a qualifying District tournament, they went on to be- come the second-place team in the class B rankings. Novice debaters did well also, proving themselves to be strong successors to a very powerful varsity team. Not only did they advance to the Novice State tour- nament, but they also placed first at the Mackinac Island debate tour- nament in May. The team, comprised of Natalie Bedwell, Colin McCaleb, Jennifer Redman, and Mary Beth Whipple, brought home the first Marshall victory in this tournament ever. Congratulations to all of this year's debaters. Showing their second-place state trophy are varsity debaters Jared Baremor, Dave Ham, Tim Wagner, and Ellen Lust. ]eff Wetss looks up as he practices his tech- nique. Novice debaters Ed Rowand, Colin McCaleb, Jennifer Redman, and Mary Beth Whipple show their style that qualified them for State. 54 Students learning and rehearsing their forensics techniques are, Tim Wagner, Ellen Lust, David Ham, Elaine Smith, and Jared Baremor. Forensics is classified into two major groups, interpretive and public address readings. In interpretive readings, students may perform in the areas of storytelling, humorous, serious, dramatic, duo, or multiple read- ings. Public address has six types of readings consisting of informative, impromptu, oratory, extemporane- ous, radio broadcasting, and sales speeches. Competition in these areas take place nearly every weekend during the winter and spring. Marshall hosted the 1984 district forensics tournament. This was the first step in qualifying for higher- level competition for students. Four Marshall students achieved the distinction of qualifying for the state tournament this year. Three of them, Dave Ham, Deb Stanley, and Tim Wagner were seniors. Also qualifying was Jennifer Redman, a sophomore. This was definitely an accomplishment for a sophomore. The Forensics team, under the guidance of Mr. Jim Telfer, had a very successful season and have learned much from their exper- iences.

School itself offers students many challenges they must face. The work world offers even tougher challenges. When you put school and work together, you get the student work program. In the work program, students spend part of their day at a place of employment earning not only the almighty dollar , but also the ever powerful high school credit. Unlike the co-op program, the school itself has virtually nothing to do with the students getting their jobs. They are responsible for this themselves. Some students get their jobs through the vo-ed center, while others don't take a 6th hour class and go directly to work. The Eaton Corporation, for example, hires some of our stu- dents to work as assistant appren- tices at the factory and in the offices. Although working results in money, it's the work experience and credits that students are needing. No matter where they work, they all have one thing in com- mon, they work hard for the credits. Denise Yancy types up a business letter for her employer. Reading is a favorite pasttime for many students, and what better place to read than in the library. The library carries an assortment of reading material that is sure to interest the avid reader. However, not just reading for relaxation is done there. If a person needs references for a report or a term paper, there are hundreds of good books from which to choose. If someone needs current events, the library also carries a large supply of newspa- pers and magazines to use. Teachers use the library as a place for students to study or to show a video tape of some impor- tant subject. No matter what the reason, the library is a good place to spend some time. o % nT a era rD cr ro crc C 5 l-t a a CTQ 57 Mrs. Houseman, head librarian, is always ready to help find that special book. Careful thought is given by Dave VanderWeg and Andy Snyder. Presiding over the Student Council are Presi- dent Mike Osborn, Vice-President Bridgitt Flynn, and Secretary Anne-Marie Holt. 58 Enjoying the conversation are some members of Student Council. This year's Building Council changed two very important aspects of the organization; the name and the constitution. These changes were just the start of the good things to come. After the name change, the student council started organizing this year's Homecoming and Spirit Festival events. Each year the council takes care of organizing all of the Homecom- ing activities and events in which the student body participates. Special committees take care of everything from the Thursday night events to the Friday after- noon assembly. The council also organizes Spirit Festival. Although it came on short notice, the student body was be- hind it full force. Though they changed their name, their ability to get the job done stayed the same. Discussing the councils' objectives are Mr. Vachow, Ms. Wingerter and Ms. Magnus. Jeremy Hockett and Tyler Matthews share a laugh while Lara Baremor and BilT Wheeler discuss things.

Between the French and Lat- in clubs there are approximately 75 to 100 active members. The Latin Club has kept its offi- cers, Tri-Presidents, Jeff Albright, Ron Overhiser, and Shelly Perci- val, Vice-President Michele Zingrebe, Secretary Sandi Overhi- ser, and Treasurer, Mary Lou Knaack, very busy. The officers plan meetings and the annual projects that we are fa- miliar with like carnations, candy, and slave sales. They also plan all parties that the club has including their annual end-of-the-year pig roast. The Latin Club has also donated two wall maps of the building to our school. The French Club has been very busy planning and organizing trips to France and to Quebec, Canada and the fundraisers that help get them there. Their officers; President Nate Dickman, Vice-President Lorie Ba- ker, Secretary Tammy Miller and Gretchen Giesen, have done a fine job in planning all of the events throughout the year, including ■ reinstating bake sales at MHS. Some of the other projects they have done are: candy sales, odd jobs yard work, and gift sales at Christmas time. The organization also took a trip on March 10, 1984 to the Kalama- zoo Crossroads Mall and dinner at Le Metrepol, a French restaurant in Kalamazoo. The club has really worked hard on keeping the organization on its toes. Good luck to all of them in the future. Abigail Babcock, Latin club mascot, smiles for the birdie.

Organizations and sports have a lot in common; de- dication, responsibility, and most importantly teamwork. All of these qualities can be found in the members of the M-Club. Each year the M-Club gets between 50 and 60 active members. To be eligible for the M-Club all members must have participated in sports or music, and have received a varsity letter. Every year you see the M-Club members working in the concession stand during the boys basketball season, and at the Sports Festival selling candy, pop corn, and other munchies. The money that is earned from the concession sales goes toward their summer trip to Cedar Point. Mr. Armstrong says, The M- Club provides an opportunity for athletes from all sports to do things together. Scott Robinson gets corny for the camera.

The National Honor Society is a national organization that includes juniors and seniors who are academically advanced. Our local chapter contains members of the senior class who are inducted in the spring of their junior year. They must have a 3.5 or better grade point average to qualify at that time. Seniors having a 3.0 or better grade point average are ini- tiated in the fall of their senior year. Also included are juniors, as they are inducted in the spring. To belong to N.H.S. is a great honor recognizing students who are academically advanced. Con- gratulations to those students in our school who have achieved this honor. Junior inductees are as follows: Kris Larson, Kathy Lewis, Lorie Baker, Michelle Eaton, Deb McFadden, Joy Portinga, Emily Burris, and Wendy Marshell.

T A 7 e're so proud to do l it for J.A ' is what w V many of the students of Marshall High School are saying these days. J.A. is short for Junior Achievement and the name suits the club well. In J.A. students form companies with a saleable product and perform all of the duties a real company would have to conduct. Each of the companies had a president and other officials in charge of everything from keeping records to marketing the compan- ies product. The companies meet on Monday nights to discuss what can be done to improve their company's pro- ducts and methods to make the products themselves. However, it's not all work and no play for these students. They work hard, but they also have time to talk and be around their friends. At the end of the quarter, the members liquidate all the assets down to profits and split the mon- ey between the members. This year's J.A. Company of the year was New Horizons. Kim Chappie was the President of New Hori- zons, and she was awarded Presi- dent of the year. J.A.'s national slogan is very true, A little pride will go a long, long way.

National Safety Award recipients for FFA are Patty Parker, Renee Flynn, and Mr. Beneker, advisor. This year's FFA proved to be fun for anyone and everyone involved. FFA is not just a farming group; it's an organization that builds leadership in its members. The members take their responsibilities seriously, but they also have a good time doing it. Each year in the late fall, FFA sells citrus fruits and pecans to the local community. During all this hard work, they also have sales contests among the members to keep the fund-raising exciting. FFA is not just work, it's alot of fun too. FFA is meeting people and learning how to work with others well. FFA members travel to competi- tions and conventions in the area and sometimes out of state. Perhaps the best reason to join is that you enjoy farming and the people involved. In FFA you get to meet people you may never have had the chance to otherwise. If you ask any member what they learn in FFA, the one thing everyone will say is leadership. All the leadership skills they learn during the year are put to the test each February at the leadership contests. Each participant competes with other FFA members from district, regional, state, and national chap- ters for individual titles. During the competition, the members participate in seven dif- ferent areas. They are; Greenhand public speaking. Chapter public speaking. Extemporaneous speak- ing, Job interview. Demonstration, Agricultural forum and Parlia- mentary procedure. This provides an opportunity to perform before a panel of people knowledgeable of the subject mat- ter. This contributes to the overall growth of the FFA members. When asked what the most im- portant function of FFA is, Renee Flynn replied, 1 would have to say learning leadership skills and knowing that you have what it takes to be a good farmer and leader. Also, knowing that you are a part of the largest youth organi- zation in the world. It's really a great feeling! FFA really is fun for anyone. 69 Sparks fly when Don Wheeler and Gary Kyle Albrecht works on one of his auto as- Simmons start to work, signments. Vocational education, or vo- ed as it is commonly called, offers many choices. The most important of these opportu- nities is the hands-on experience. Each year several Marshall stu- dents are accepted in the program to work with students from other schools in their chosen career field. The vo-ed center offers a variety of career areas. Auto mechanics, cosmetology, computers, food ser- vices, and office practice are just some of the various professions from which to choose. Regardless of the career area, the vo-ed center offers its students the experience necessary for a promis- ing future in today's world. Working on one of the shop machines is Mike Jefferys. Electronics is the name of the game for Kyle Riegle, Trevis Adams, Duane Ferris and Rene Serbantez. 71 The MHS mathematics department offers a wide range of courses to best help students. The future prospects look even better. Starting next year, honors math classes will be introduced. These classes are de- signed to present more of a chal- lenge to those students who excel in math. MHS will continue to offer Con- sumers Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, MIA, and Advanced Math. These classes are taught by Mrs. Beeryhill, Mr. Duffey, Mr. Elyea, Mr. Glynn, Mr. Machata, and Mr. Triece. This math class studies for an upcoming test. Listening to a lecture, this sixth hour Algebra class learns about polynomials 74 These Algebra 1 students work hard to get their assignment done before they leave. t JD Ph D Jh o General Business, Accounting, Office Ma- chines, Business Law and Math, Typing, and Shorthand are the classes that comprise the busi- ness department at Marshall High. These classes have always been very popular, especially with stu- dents interested in pursuing a sec- retarial or business career. They give students some practical experience in office work. Business Machines class teaches students how to use some of the different modern types of ma- chines found in the offices of to- day. Students who take Accounting practice balancing the budget for mock companies. More than just the keyboard is taught in Typing. Students also learn the procedures for typing various forms of letters, as well as learning to type paragraphs quickly and accurately. Shorthand was offered for the first time this year. In it students learned skills at taking oral dicta- tion and notes. Business Law and Math are offered together to form a one year course. They help students know the ins and outs'' of the business world. Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Engle, Ms. Rieger, and Ms. Papes teach these classes at MHS. Susan Krum and Betsy Jacobs work on their packets during Accounting I. Jeff Knaack checks over his accounting workbook. Taking a short break from Business Machines class, Lara Vinkle smiles for the camera. 76 77 Trying to improve their skills, these students concentrate intensely. Science classes at MHS have always been interesting. This year we have had a few changes. Mrs. Wheeler became a new member of the department and taught biology. Mrs. Edwards also made a change in her curriculum. She add- ed chemistry to her list of classes. Basically, the classes remained the same. General, Earth, and Life Sciences were offered in addition to Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Advanced Biology. Science classes at MHS are taught by Mr. Cairns, Mr. Davis, Mrs. Edwards, Mr. Kelley, and Mrs. Wheeler. All of these teachers help students learn the fundamentals of science and expand their knowl- edge of the world around them. Experiments demonstrate many of the principles taught in class and reinforce scientific knowledge. The wide variety of classes at MHS provides students with many choices. General Science includes the ba- sics of science and helps students to get a grasp on science and what it is all about. Earth Science is all about planets, while Life Science covers the functions of living things. Biology furthers students' knowl- edge of plants and animals. Dissecting is a very interesting part of this class. Chemistry introduces students to elements, compounds, and formulas. Physics is the study of motion. Lectures play an impor- tant role in Advanced Biology. Science is beneficial for students who wish to enter the science field. However, they are not the only ones to gain knowledge and experience from these classes. Any student who enters a science course and makes an effort to understand is enriched. Mr. Cairns explains a chemistry lab to three girls in his first hour chemistry class. Jeff Larsen and Mike Salyers prepare their bunsen burner for a lab. 78 Discussing a physics assignment are Russ Fairies and Andy Hayes. Stephie Rexrode and Krista Fhaner prepare for biology lab. Building a DNA molecule are three biology students, Kelly Barger, Pat Russell and Danielle Hartman. 79 omething special happened in the physical education depart- w ment this year. Miss Hopkins exchanged places with Miss Peaty, a physical education teacher from • England. Miss Peaty brought sev- Ph eral foreign games with her. In cricket, the player up to bat must hit a ball with a three-sided CL bat. Then after it is hit, the player must run around a cone and get back to the starting place before the pitcher gets the player out by hitting cans placed behind the £ 0) batting area. Rounders is similar to softball. excluding the fact that there are five bases instead of four. u Learning new games might be one reason to take P.E., but it also teaches the value of good health Dh through weightlifting, running. and jumping rope. Students learn the value of good I 1 C D sportsmanship. Gym also persuades some people to join sports. It gives students a break from academic classes. Golf and archery are a few Vh of the life-time sports taught in 1 1 u physical education. Miss Peaty's new games and jT the traditional stand-bys made an interesting curriculum for the u 0) physical education department this year. Miss Peaty, along with Miss Hoover, Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Smouse make up this year's phys- ical education teaching staff at MHS. 0� bJD £ 03 jr U X w Kristi Robinson demonstrates that shooting baskets can be fun. Coach Smouse lectures his fifth hour class on the fundamentals of basketball. 80 G O American history, ancient history, Asia and the Mid- dle East, economics, government. North and South America, Social Issues, and Twenti- eth Century World are all the classes that make up the history department at MHS. Social Issues is a required class for freshmen, and juniors must take American History. Before they can graduate, seniors must have taken economics and government. All of the other history classes are electives. These classes help to increase students' awareness and under- standing of the world around them, past and present. Mr. Burns, Mr. Roy, Mr. Cronk, Mr. Wuori, and Mr. Hamilton combine their efforts to teach this variety of classes. Mr. Roy questions Deb Cantwell about her weekly current event. Showing his class a picture to illustrate his point is Mr. Hamilton. Taking notes is an important part of Ameri can History class. 82 83 English classes at MHS are divided into two ability lev- els; honors and regular. Stu- dents are required to pass three years of English. Although senior English is not a must, there was an increase in the number of students taking it this year. English teaches students to read with understanding, write effec- tively, and generally communicate better. Students who are skilled in expression have a better chance for success in a world where communication is vital. Grammar lessons, vocabulary words, literature discussions, es- says, research papers, and oral reports, are all learning exercises in self-expression. English is essen- tial. It is our language, and we need to know how to use it effec- tively to express our ideas to oth- ers through speaking or writing. Mrs. Grove, Mr. Haroff, Mr. Ick- es, Mrs. Kinney, Ms. Magnus, Ms. Ralston, Mr. Telfer, and Ms. Wingerter teach English at MHS. . fll jjjj f 3 ?

Mrs. Kinney lectures her 4th hour class on helping verbs. 85 Todd Warman studies his program to check for errors. n the present age there is an ever-increasing demand for computer skills. MHS met this demand in a new and unique way. Last summer, Pepsi Bottling Company held a contest for collecting Pepsi-product bottle caps. The grand prize was an Ap- ple computer. With the help of many Pepsi drinkers throughout Marshall, MHS met the goal, thus winning the computer. Mr. Malinowski, who instructs these classes, helps students learn about computers and the way they work. Students in computer classes at MHS learn how to make and use computer programs. They spend a lot of time with hands- on computer experiences. Marshall High School's students will be better prepared for the ca- reer world because they have these computer classes available to them. An Apple a day prepares one for the future. Traci Bolinger focuses her attention on the computer. Typing out a program. Steve Cams types instructions on the keyboard. 86 Learning a foreign language is a great experience for stu- dents because it expands their horizons. In these classes they learn much more than just vocabulary. Grammar, speaking skills, culture, and geography are also stressed. French students, taught by Mrs. Berryhill, spend time learning about the provinces and history of France. A unit on bull-fighting is a special feature of Mr. Haroff's Spanish classes. Since Latin is not a spoken language, Ms. Magnus has her students de- vote more time to reading. Latin students study mythology also. It requires discipline to learn a second language, but the results are well worth the effort. Carefully reading an assignment is Ms. Mag- nus' first hour Latin class. David Vela and Kelly Powers look over their homework. -d ( This French I class studies their vocabulary words for the next test. 87 The Home-Ec department at MHS has a lot more to offer than just the traditional cooking classes. Home Economics classes include Designs for Living, Marriage and Social Change, General Psychology, Child Psychology, and Consumer Deci- sion Making. Students learn about nutrition and planning balanced meals in Designs for Living. They also learn the skills necessary to fix a tear or make an item of clothing. Caring for children and getting along in a family are stressed in Child Psychology and Marriage and Social Change. All of these classes are taught by Mrs. Knaack, and their objective is to produce good homemakers. Art classes let students express their creativity in many different areas of art. Studio I is a basic art class offered to let students experiment and get a feel for some of the art mediums. Another more advanced art class, taught by Mr. Walton, is 2 Dimensional Studio. It is more specialized than Studio I. Some of the projects in art include watercolor and oil painting; pencil, ink, and charcoal drawing; sculp- ture, and printmaking. Mr. Walton's dog was used as a special model this winter in several classes. While Home-Ec and Art classes are not required, both Mrs. Knaack and Mr. Walton feel that they offer special extras not available in the more academic-type classes. One such extra is the feeling of achievement a student has at the completion of a project, whether it be a meal, or a painting. Trying their hand at clay sculpture, Kevin Tolson and Victor Barroso display their talents. Budding artist Steve Hoeltzel works on a pen- cil drawing during class. Psychology students make collages to describe themselves. Pamela Wright lays out the material for her sewing project. Hanna Toivanen exercises her creative ability in her project. Band and orchestra may not be required courses at MHS, but they certainly have a lot to offer. Not only do they give a student a musical background, but they also train the student in discipline and time management. Both band and orchestra have a common goal. That is to be the very best they can be. To meet this goal takes many hours of practice and much dedication. Each year the band and orchestra participate in competitions called festivals. Both concert band and or- chestra received a one at the dis- trict festival and a two at the state festival. A one is the highest mark a group can get. Band is taught by Mr. Beery who, after many years of working at MHS, will be leaving MHS and not returning next year. He has given much time and dedication to the MHS band. Miss Griffith teaches orchestra here at MHS and also gives much to the class. It is her first year here, and her apparent success makes the future look rewarding. Band and orchestra appear to be headed toward a promising future. The students who take this class will continue to learn and gain much. The Marshall High School jazz band of 1984.

The first two groups began their season with singing at various houses on the Home Tour in September. Members of the Singers and En- semble dressed in old-fashioned clothes and entertained the lines of people. The first actual concert of the year was the Apple Pie Concert in October, where all groups per- formed. At Christmas time the En- semble and Singers performed at various functions in the communi- ty including several nights of en- tertaining at Win Schuler's. Christ- mas is a very fast-paced time for vocal music students. Late winter is a time of competi- tion throughout the state. All three choirs participated in District Solo and Ensemble Festival. The Wom- en's Ensemble and Marshall Singers received first division ratings. The Singers also received a first division rating at District Cho- ral Festival. Mr. Phil Clissold, di- rector of vocal music, was very pleased with the showings of his groups this year. Every second year the Marshall Singers and Ensemble take their talent to Washington, D.C. in early May, performing at various places along the way, also. It requires a high level of excellence in singing to make the very most of this trip and its exposure, so the earlier competitions prepared the students well. Immediately after the tour of the capital, the groups were all togeth- er again for the annual, and often most favorite. Pops Concert. Several students sang solos and du- ets of popular music. Songs by Michael Jackson, Culture Club, the Oak Ridge Boys, and many others were featured. Rounding out this exceptional year, the Pops Concert was heralded as one of the best ever.

MC's Kevin Koenig and Colin McCaleb enter- tain the audience with a joke. 93 Industrial arts can be the gateway to a rewarding present and future. The biggest advan- tage is training for careers. Archi- tecture, carpentry, and drafting all require a background in industrial arts. Other advantages these classes offer are safe work habits, and the ability to become skilled at working with various machines and tools. All of these are funda- mental elements of industrial arts classes. Industrial arts at M.H.S. are taught by three teachers; each spe- cializing in one or two specific areas. Agricultural mechanics is taught by Mr. Beneker. Mr. Mur- phy teaches both woods and met- als, and Mr. Strough teaches draft- ing and architectural classes. Students in industrial arts make several projects over the course of the year that can be given as gifts or kept and appreciated. They also develop a special sense of pride as a result of their work. One project done by Mr. Strough's classes is a model house. They draw up complete plans from which the finished project is made. They each end up with a model house completely constructed to scale. Nick Groat concentrates on precise measure- Bob Mansfield carefully drafts his ideas out ments. on paper. 94 Working together, Shannon Damron, Mike Stanton, and Andy Chapman display the value of teamwork. Discussing a project are Robert Brown, and Ted Gaskell. Kevin Cornish, measuring accurately, works on the basement of his woods project. 95 'Skins show Never Die Attitude The 1983 football team was a team with character. The year began with two hope- shattering losses, but then the team started playing to its potential. After beating Vicksburg in the first game of the season, the 'Skins lost their first two league contests. The first of these two losses came when a German exchange student kicked a 35 yard field goal with no time left on the clock to give Hillsdale a 15-13 victory. The 'Skins defeated Jackson Northwest by a very narrow mar- gin. In the second loss Marshall 'This team never quit. They showed that they had a lot of character. Jeff Smouse. drove 68 yards to Sturgis' 12 yard line with 41 seconds left, then threw an interception and lost 20- 17. The Redskins returned home for Homecoming against arch-rival and ninth ranked Coldwater. Marshall, seeking vengeance for the last year's 39-0 thrashing, smashed them 17-0 and held their top rush- er to 8 yards, 172 under his average. Waiting for some assistance from Pat Bagi (60), Gary Hayes (left) and Craig Simmons have a Coldwater runner under control. The rest of the season went well for the 'Skins as they shut out three of their last four opponents, and tied the school record for most shutouts in a season. The lone loss in the final four games was a 34-14 loss to Albion, a game which Mar- shall lead at half time. Five members of this squad re- ceived first team all-conference. They were A1 Lord, Gary Hayes, George Zapata, Duane Hoffman, and Craig Simmons. Hayes and Lord also received honorable mention all-state honors.

Gridders enjoy a fine season The 1984 J.V. football squad compiled a 6-2 record. This is the best record for a J.V. football team in almost 10 years. The squad was led by a solid soph- omore class. Sophomores filled al- most every position. There was also a sprinkling of juniors and freshmen who saw a lot of playing time. Probably the most prominent reason for the J.V s success was the fact that they practiced with and against the varsity. Coach Smouse started this practice format this season. This action benefits both J.V. and varsity players. It The J.V. program showed a lot of improvement and they proved they could win. Coach Smouse gives varsity players enough peo- ple to scrimmage every day, and it gives J.V. players a chance to play against and with the better varsity players. The squads' chances of going undefeated would have been better had three of its players not been moved up to varsity. The season started very well as the J.V s shut out their first three opponents and won their first four games. Then came a big loss at Coldwater which was the first game played after the three players were moved up. The timing in that particular game was not the same as before because Coach Smouse had been sick all week and prac- tice time was cut short. The J.V.'s then went on to win two of their last three games and ended the season with a great feeling. With the talent, the desire, and the hard work this team has shown, they will surely make MHS a winner in the near future.

Girls continue to be record breakers They may have been ranked fifth in the states' eyes, but in the eyes of MHS they were number one. The varsity ladyskins set many school records this season. The girls were 11-0 in the Twin Valley, and were 23-1 overall, which is now written in the school record book as Marshall's best record for guys or girls. Other team records set were best defensive average with 33.0 and average points per game at 56.2. Sue Cato set two records this season: best free throw percentage with 74.6 and she cap- tured the career assists with 195. LeeAnn Fischhaber and Mel Theaker broke the best field goal percentage, but LeeAnn captured the title with 51.8. We also had champions among champions. Sophomore Dawn Dur- ham received fifth team all-state, first team Twin Valley, and the MHS MVP award. Sue Cato was awarded second team Twin Valley, I think this season will be long remembered bv both the girls and the fans. Coach Tom Duffey. and also the MVP award, while Mel Theaker and LeeAnn Fischhaber received honorable mention for the T.V. team. Mary Maresh also received most im- proved MHS award. Coach Tom Duffey taught our girls how to be champs and they received many honors because of it. He has been varsity coach for seven years and has taken our girls to the statefinals (81-82), Quarterfinals (83-84), and regionals (82-83), plus District and Twin Val- ley champs for three consecutive years. Coach Duffey's record is 72- 3 for three years and with all this under his belt, he received honor- able mention for all-state coach, but it is the opinion of the girls that he deserved coach of the year and all-state coach.

Girls uphold their tradition Our junior varsity girls' bask- etball team is not just another ordinary team. Our girls were 17-2 overall, 11-1 in the Twin Valley, and captured the conference crown. Even though were losing six seniors, our returning lettermen and impressive J.V.'s will come on strong next year. There is more to come in the fu- ture for the girls' basketball team. Deanne Rocco was impressive enough to be moved up to the varsity level and played very succesfully in the district and re- gional games. Also outstanding were Mary Youngdahl, Kristin Yakimow, and Karen Muster. What I think contributed most to our success this year was our depth, teamwork, and execution. Coach Dan Stulberg Even though they were successful, they also had their problems. Injuries! With one. to four people out every game, some players didn't see much action. Sandi Overhiser and Terry Laing, with their leg injuries, cheered the team on to their successful season. Dan Stulberg, third year JV. coach, impressed all of us.

With a 5-1 record in the Twin Valley, this was the first time they had been defeated in Twin Valley in nearly four years.

After losing three varsity lettermen from last year, the linksters had a rough time lower- ing their scores to competetive league play. The team lacked some of the im- portant factors that are needed to become a winner. Repetition is one of those factors. In order to be- come a good golfer, it is necessary to go over and over a shot until the golfer is comfortable with it. Then, when it comes to league competition and facing that shot, he is able to step up to the ball and execute the shot without any doubt or problem. That's one We had a disappointing season this year and have implemented several changes in hopes for a better season next year. . . . Coach Reynolds problem that stopped the golf team from being competitive this year. More time practicing on the golf course could improve this aspect of the game for next year. Leading the varsity team this year was number one seated Kevin Perrin, followed by Jeff Walters, Todd Bredice, Mark Plummer, and Sean Brisson. Heading the J.V.'s were Alan Mershon, Steve Townsend, Pat Russell, Mike Salyers, and Troy Al- len. Other members of the team included Dave Chappie, Scott Gindlesberger, Andy Hayes, Todd Metzger, Mike Spray, Rick Weaver, and Larry Goodwin. Together, the golf team had trouble reaching their potential. Consistency played a major role in this year's down season. Coach Reynolds expressed that he wished the team could have played well as a group instead of only a few golfers playing well at certain times, and other players playing well at other times. Hopefully, changes in next year's program will produce results in lower scores and better league competi- tion.

They ended the season fourth in the league. The girls worked hard and put in a lot of hours, but didn't quite do as well as was expected. The girls' major problem was having to practice at Harper Creek because our pool was out of order. We had a fairly good season, al- though we didn't do as well as hoped. By co-captain Kristin Bills Although they had an off season, they placed 14th at the Lions' re- lays, they also placed fourth in the Albion relays. The co-captains, Kristin Bills and Nancy Burns, didn't think the team members swam up to their poten- tial. Although they had a fairly good season, they didn't quite break the 500 mark. However, they felt they had accomplished some important things for a young team of mostly underclassmen. Hopeful- ly, next year they will be able to practice at the home pool. With a little more experience, the team will try to pass the 500 mark. 112 Swimming the Butterfly is Kristie Bucken- Giving her all in the Butterfly is Mary Malin- berger. owski.

The girls' tennis team this year had a very young team. The team lost seven seniors from last year and had only one returning letter winner. This year's varsity team consisted of two seniors: Susan Krum and Lisa Weaver; six juniors: Julie Carroll, Marji Mortimer, Julie Rio, Christine Palmer and Julie Mahrle; one sophomore: Kathy Brobst, and two freshmen: Kristi Robinson and Rockne Klein. The members of the J.V. team I think we will have a better team next year because we have a lot of experienced players coming up to varsity. —Coach Rauth were Rachelle Lawrence, Heidi Easterday, Karrie Katsarelas, Becky Bidwell, Kalie Brisson, Jill Trine, and Sabrina Hunter. Even though the girls had no scheduled matches this year, they practiced hard and had alot of dedication in hopes of making the varsity team next year. While not doing as well as a team, this year's varsity team had some good individual efforts. At Twin Valley competition, Marji Mortimer placed fourth at number four singles. Susan Krum and Julie Rio placed second at number three doubles, which is the highest that a number three doubles team has placed in a long while. Maybe with some practice and hard work over the summer next year's team could show some po- tential and build a winning season.

The boys' basketball team had a disappointing season, with a league record of four— twelve; placing sixth in Twin Val- ley. Overcoming a slow start, the Redskins were victorious over top- ranked Albion in the highlight game and ended the season with two district wins. In the district they played two tough games as underdogs, losing the final game “The team never said die ' Coach Sowles. to Jackson County Western by the score of 54-41. This year's squad didn't have any one player stand out. All nine players contributed in their own way for the benefit of the team. With five returning lettermen, experience should be a plus for the 84-85 season. This season Gary Hayes was vot- ed Most Valuable Player by his teammates and made second team All-Conference. Alan Lord made Honorable Mention All-Confer- ence, and Tod Rocco was voted Most Improved Player by his team- mates for this season.

When a boy walks on to the mat, he stands alone. No one will run interfer- ence, no one will catch a high fly if he makes a bad pitch. He stands alone. —Anonymous. The 1983-84 wrestling season started out as a season with very few experienced wrestlers coming back from the 1982-83 State run- ner-up team. This was to be a rebuilding season. This year's squad was made up of 36 boys. There was only 4 seniors on the team. 'This squad was team oriented. That's why they won. Coach Armstrong The team progressed much faster than anticipated. The final dual meet record was 12-5. The team also won two invitationals: the Oli- vet Invitational and Springfield Invitational. The wrestlers also took a 2nd at the Gull Lake Team Invitational. The J.V. team also fin- ished with a winning record this season. The J.V. team was com- posed of many wrestlers who were either first year wrestlers or who had very little experience. The Twin Valley was tough as usual. Marshall was tied for 2nd going into the league meet. Mar- shall finished fourth in the league meet which placed us 4th overall. The three senior captains led the squad in wins. They were George Zapata, Jeff Stewart, and Walt Wilkins. All three advanced to the regional meet before bowing out. Wilkins completed the regular sea- son with a perfect 33-0 record, while Stewart ended with a 33-1-1 record, and Zapata with a 26-6 tal- ly. Wilkins was voted most valu- able wrestler, and Greg Machek was most improved.

Volleyball has competitive season The 1983-84 Volleyball team had a rough season. With first year coach Greta McDaniel, their record was 4 and 12 in the Twin Valley and 8 and 22 overall. They ended the season in sixth place in the standings. There were only three returning letter winners from last year's team: Seniors Mary Wolfersberger, Sue Cato, and Lee Ann Fischhaber. In addition to those seniors, Wen- dy Becker, Kim Mumaw, and Ron- da Lautzenheiser also graduate this year. Jennie Pyle, Heidi Easterday, Athletics is a vehicle that teaches many concepts of life. Coach McDaniel Leslie Zabonick and sophomores Natalie Parrish, and Dawn Durham will come back next year to try to improve their team record. Next year's team looks promising with five returning letter winners, and two of them all-Twin Valley. Special awards were given this year to Jennie Pyle for Most Valu- able Player and second team Twin Valley, Kim Mumaw for Most Im- proved Player, and Natalie Parrish received Honorable Mention Twin Valley. The Junior Varsity, with first year coach Joy Bommerscheim, had a trying season also. Their record was 2 and 4 in the Twin Valley and 5 and 9 overall. They had stand-outs like sophomores Heidi Albright, Mary Youngdahl, and Pam Ross, who many times brought the team from behind to win the match. Good Luck to all in the future.

For most of the girls' track team, this held very true. The girls had a good season with a record of nine wins and three losses. This record represented the most wins ever by a MHS girls' track team. The team gave five awards at the end of the season. Recipients of these awards were: Janice Schnaitman, rookie-of-the-year; A good season for a young and inexperienced team. —Coach Smouse Diane Weaver, top distance runner; Natalie Parrish, top relay runner; Jenny Pyle, most valuable player; and Wendy Becker, most valuable field person. Among some of the outstanding people on the team were some record breakers and a relay team that qualified for the state meet. The relay team that ran at the state meet consisted of Wendy Becker, Jenny Pyle, Heidi Lowman and Natalie Parrish, who replaced the injured Erin Austin. The relay team consisted of Shelly Siefke, Natalie Parrish, Re- nee McCosh, and Michelle Beebe with a time of 10:30.7. Diane Weaver broke two school records. One was in the mile, with a time of 5:38.7, and the other in the two mile, with a time of 12:04.6. Janice Schnaitman, a freshman, ran the 330 intermediate hurdles with a time of 50.9 seconds to set a new school record. Leading in the 110 lou hurdles are Jenny Pyle and Janice Schnaitman.

Harriers have fine season The Marshall High track team had a different pace this sea- son with the retirement of Coach Barney Roy. Coach Dick Cronk, who assisted Mr. Roy for 13 years, took over this year as head coach and did a fine job. The team finished third in the Twin Valley with a league record of 4-2. In the conference meet, they placed fifth. Placing first in the meet was the 880 relay team, consisting of Duane Hoffman, Darin Gwin, Greg Machek, and We accomplished what we set out to accomplish. —Coach Dick Cronk Mike Salyers. The two-mile relay took second. This team is com- posed of Dave Iding, Nate Dickman, Todd Hicks, and Scott Simmons. Nick Groat, Eric King, Bob Baldwin, and Darin Gwin made up the one-mile relay team, which placed second. John Oren also placed third in shot put, which put them on the All-Conference Team. This year's seniors voted Scott Simmons the Most Valuable run- ner. He ran the 880, mile and the one mile relay. The most improved track member was Scott Kibler in the pole vault by jumping two feet higher than last year. Overall, everyone on the team showed improvement and had a good season. Next year the harriers will be in good form for the Twin Valley race again. In the long jump Greg Machek strains for ev- ery inch. Soaring over the bar is Marshall's Jeff Kiessling.

Goals set to win Sports Festival and the Twin Valley Title were spoiled by a few bad games. In Sports Festival one bad inning ruined the hopes of the teams' first tournament champion- ship. In the Twin Valley League the team played very well. However, there were games where a few errors cost them the win, and there were a few times where pitching lacked and team couldn't score enough runs to win. The team worked and played well togeth- er. —Coach Jerry Triece When the team played and worked well together, they were one of the toughest teams in the league. But working together and making no errors is a hard task to accomplish. No baseball team is perfect, and this year's team is no exception. The players tried their best, but just a few games kept them from a very successful sea- son. In District play, the team started off by defeating Twin Valley Co- Champion Coldwater in a very well-played game. The 'Skins then ran into trouble when they were defeated by a tough Lumen Christi team. Even though a lot of the goals that the team set were not accom- plished, they played well and enjoyed playing ball together. Next year's team should be a tough one and hopefully will keep a winning record alive in varsity baseball. Alan Lord hurls one towards home plate.

Instead of just having a swim team, we will be building one. —Coach Cumback. tice combined with a lack of swim- mers on the team held them down to an unsuccessful season. One member of the swim team ended the year with a great finish. Edward Rowand was the only per- son on the team to qualify for the state meet. Edward placed thirteenth at the state meet, which was held at Eastern Michigan University.

The netters jumped out to a 4-0 record, and they looked very strong. Unfortunately, the Twin Valley season had yet to begin. The Redskins ran into perennial-power, Sturgis, in their first match, and things began to go down hill. After the Sturgis loss, the netters I'm looking for better things next year with strong freshmen coming up to play varsity. —Coach Rauth could only manage to win one of their last four matches. The team ended up in 5th place in the conference. One bright spot in this mediocre season was the play of seniors Jeff Weiss and Jeff Walters at 1 doubles. The pair compiled a fine record throughout the season and placed fourth at the league match. This year's singles players were: Steve Townsend, Kris Coppens, Jeff Albright, and Rick Weaver, at numbers 1,2,3, and 4 respectively. The doubles players were Weiss and Walters at 1, Ron Overhiser and Kristin Yakimow at 2, and Jeff Redfield and A1 Mershon at 3.

In the basketball season, Eric King and Chris Osborn donned red shirts and white pants and the fun began. The males added extra vol- ume and power to the already strong voices of the squad. Amy Bordano moved from Mar- shall after football cheerleading 'The girls showed spirit and enthusiam for their school. Coach Fletcher was completed. Two new advisers were chosen for basketball season. They were Cece Wydendorf and Deb Fletcher. The decision to choose two advisers was based on the fact that the job is very tedious and time consuming. The job of adviser was better shared by two. The cheerleaders sponsored several dances again this year. They also did several things for the athletic teams such as: bringing them flowers, making locker signs, and sponsoring a lunch party for varsity athletes. The girls should be congratula- ted on their ambition and school spirit.

Heidi Easterday takes 4th at State With the loss of four out of five varsity golfers, the season looked rather dim. The only returning golfer was Hei- di Easterday. The successfulness of the season would rely not only on Easterday's performance at 1 seed, but on the performance of many first year varsity golfers as well. This made Coach Hamilton's job tough. However, nobody knew that Tanya Smith, Keli Spears, Tina 'They made a great deal of improve- ment for the young team they were.''—Coach Hamilton Mann, and Yvonne Mumaw or Suzie Mathieu, would fill the 2- 5 positions and play fine golf. The linksters finished 2nd in the Twin Valley, thanks to their fine performances in the league jambo- rees. Heidi Easterday was medalist in most of the jamborees. As it became time for the region- al match, Heidi Easterday was considered one of the favorites to win. She didn't disappoint anyone, as she tied for first, but lost the playoff hole and settled for second. This advanced her to the state match where she finished 4th and earned All-State honors. With the loss of only one senior, Keli Spears, the outlook for next season can only be optimistic.

Smiling softly, but carrying a big stick is Mr. Davis. Spotlight photo: Our new Athletic Director, Bob Rowbotham. People behind the scenes The people behind the activities at Marshall High School are all very important men and women. They keep this school running smoothly and in order. One of the main people behind the scenes of Marshall High is our superintendent, Mr. Giannunzio. He makes sure that all are working hard and doing his and her jobs. Our principal, Mr. Esbaugh, is in charge of getting the schedule out for every new day and making sure that we stay in budget. Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Nantz are always busy in the offices keeping attendance and school activities in order. All in all, these people keep Marshall High School running smoothly. The Spotlight is on . . . Mr. Bob Rowbotham. For being an educational health teacher and doing a great job in his first year as Athletic Director, we feel he deserves our congratula- tions on a job well done. Checking on absences is Mrs. Nantz. Mrs. Smith keeps busy at her desk. 143 Hard at work and keeping everything in or- der is Mrs. Taylor. This year the math department consists of: front row; Mr. Duffey, Mr. Machata, Mr. Glynn; back row; Mrs. Berryhill, Mr. Elyea and Mr. Triece. Missing from the picture is Mr. Malinowski. 144 Getting ready for a busy day are our science teachers; left; Mr. Cairns, Mr. Davis, Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Wheeler, and Mr. Kelley. The history department teachers give us a variety of ways to appreciate history. Standing from left to right: Mr. Roy, Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Wuori, and Mr. Cronk. Outgoing teachers help students Our teachers this year have been very outgoing people. They are not only here to help us learn, but they are also here to help us with other prob- lems. The teachers are all hard workers in school, and out of school, too. They have helped us with Homecoming, Spirit Festival and other occasions. In school, teachers are always willing to give a helping hand to anyone who needs it. They have made growing up in high school a great learning experience. The Spotlight is on . . . Mr. Tom Duffey. For being an outstanding basket- ball coach and math teacher, we feel he deserves our congratula- tions on a job well done. 145 Smiling as the business department staff always does are; from left; Mr. Armstrong, Ms. Papes, Ms. Rieger, and Mr. Engle. Spotlight photo: Our wrestling coach, Mr. Ben Armstrong. Showing off a finished yearbook is journalism adviser Mrs. Wheeler. 146 Teachers prove to be helpful Our teachers have been a helpful and concerned group of people. They have taken time from their busy sched- ules to help us with many differ- ent things. Teachers are people who not only help students get through high school, but have an effect on them for the rest of their lives. They teach good study and work habits that will help when students are ready for college or looking for a job. Spotlight photo is on . . . Mr. Armstrong. Mr. Armstrong deserves, recogni- tion not only because he is an ef- fective accounting teacher, but has involved himself in numerous school activities. Foreign language teachers; Mr. Haroff, Mrs. Berryhill and Ms. Magnus, are clowning around with knights in armor. Taking time out from an English meeting are; front row; Ms. Magnus, Ms. Wingerter; back row; Ms. Ralston, Mrs. Berry hill, Mrs. Grove; stand- ing; Mr. Ickes.

U8 The counselors, Mr. DeRose, Ms. Huysentruyt, and Mr. Vachow, are always available to help with class selections. Teachers are experienced and caring In reviewing our classroom ex- periences, we find that we are fortunate to have been exposed to a variety of instruction. Enclosed within our high school walls, we can strengthen our bodies through gym classes, strengthen our minds through several course options, and also make discoveries about ourselves and those around us. We are all lucky to have qualified and caring individuals as teachers to guide us through our growing process. 149 Working on the daily plan is teacher consultant, Mr. Palmer. Teachers help us reminisce As we reminisce on our school years, we realize the importance that teachers have had on our attitude toward education. They have provided us with enthusiastic environments and encouraged us to go above and beyond the requirements. Many of our teachers have been more than just instructors, they have been friends. A specific example of this is agricultural mechanics teacher Mr. Beneker. Mr. Beneker has been an outstanding ag. mechanics teacher, but not only that, he knows his students on a one to one basis. If he is not teaching ag. mechanics, then he is found organizing and advising FFA. Spotlight photo is on . . . Mr. Beneker, for being an outstanding leader and a friend. Our music department consists of; left; Mr. Clissold, Ms. Griffith, and Mr. Beery. Spotlight photo: Our Ag. Mechanics teacher, Mr. Beneker. 150 Taking a break from a busy schedule are Mr. Strough and Mr. Murphy our teachers in the industrial arts area. Two teachers leave MHS Coach Smouse accepts new position by Craig Simmons Mr. Jeff Smouse was considered more than a teacher and a coach dur- ing his ten years at MHS, he was also a friend. Although he taught for many years in the social studies and P.E. departments, that is not what those who knew him will re- member most about him. They will remember him as an adult you could turn to with a problem, someone who would give anything to help another succeed, and one who would always think the best of his players, no matter the accu- sations. There was a unique kind of trust and honor relationship between Mr. Smouse and his players and students. Coach Smouse is a man of courage and determination. Stu- dents and players agree that he is a man for them to look up to and respect. Coach Smouse went to high school at Kent Roosevelt High School in Kent, Ohio. He was a football stand out. He played his senior year on a team that featured Stan White and Joe DeLeon. After earning All-State honors, Smouse moved on to Western Michigan University to play football and receive a teaching certificate. He was appointed head football coach of MHS in 1982. In his two years as head coach, Smouse led the Redskins to records of 4-5 and 6-3. Coach Smouse and his family are leaving Marshall to move to North Carolina. He will be coaching foot- ball at Grinsley High School. His departure not only leaves a vacancy in our teaching and coach- ing staffs, but also in the hearts of many. Mr. Smouse, a friend and fine example to all of his students and players. Mr. Beery to conduct college music by Mary Leichliter Since 1972 the Marshall High School Instrumental Music Department has been blessed with the musical knowledge and experience of Mr. John Beery. Because of Mr. Beery, the bands have grown both mentally and musically. He has made a reputation not only for the bands, but also for himself, as an eminent musician and director. One of Mr. Beery's outstanding qualities as an educator is his concern for his students. He takes a personal interest in each individual, and his efforts extend beyond the class period. Also, al- though Mr. Beery teaches music, he shares wise thoughts which ap- ply equally well to life. Another characteristic which adds to Mr. Beery's excellence as a teacher is his desire for superiority. He sets high standards and de- mands a great amount of discipline from his students. These qualities, coupled with hard work, push the groups to achieve their full poten- tial, as reflected in their impressive festival ratings. For ten consecutive years the Symphonic Band has re- ceived a First Division rating at District Band Festival. The Sym- phonic Band has accumulated six First Division ratings at State Band Festival, and the Redskin Marching Band has nine First Division ratings for their outstanding per- formances. MHS will miss Mr. Beery next year, but we wish him the best of luck at Manchester College in Indiana. Thank you, Mr. Beery for everything! We know your future will be filled with happiness and success. 151 Mr. Beery, an outstanding musician and in- spiration to his band members. 16 ,rP iP Juniors are cheer leaders The juniors let their presence be heard both Thursday evening and Friday by out- yelling the seniors and winning both of the Homecoming class cheers. Mr. Armstrong did a good job of pulling the class together. Despite all the effort, the junior class finished in second place. Re- nee Flynn and Chris Osborn repre- sented the junior class on the Homecoming court. The juniors are looking forward to their turn at winning next year.

The J-Hop is an annual event put on by the juniors in honor of the seniors. This year's theme was The Masquerade Ball. The juniors worked hard and enjoyed prepar- ing for the J-Hop.

They started the week with a lack of enthusiasm, but as the week progressed the excitement could be felt, and the juniors were ready to win. The juniors came into the Friday afternoon events in second place. The class of '85 had a slow start during Friday afternoon, but they bounced back and took four consecutive first places.

With the help of Mr. Esbaugh and a lot of enthusiasm, the class of '86 placed third in Friday's events. This year's attendant and escort were Natalie Parrish and Greg Machek. The sophomores achieved a great deal of class participation and are looking forward to the 1984 Homecoming.

During Friday afternoon's assembly the sopho- mores placed first in the egg drop, spider crawl and the uniform race. In the end, the sophomores came in third overall. This was a disap- pointment to the class of '86, but they all learned the value of class unity.

Having had one year to experience Home- coming and Spirit Festival, they were well prepared. They knew what to expect this year and gave the juniors and seniors stiff compe- tition. This year's class members were an extremely eager and energetic group. Along with Mr. Esbaugh, their adviser, they showed enthusiasm in all they accom- plished.

The Homecoming attendant was Becky Bidwell and her escort was Bill Dryer. As the week came to a close and it was time for Friday's events, the freshmen were quite spirited and ready to win. Al- though competition was tough, it looked as though they might de- feat the sophomores. The finish was close and no one was sure of which place the freshmen would take until all the points were tallied. Finally, the sophomores pulled ahead to give the freshmen a fourth place finish. Overall, the class of 1987 did a good job for their first Homecoming.

They cheered on their classmates throughout the week's activities. Thursday night the freshmen were ready to do their best. The most exciting event was car packing, in which they took first place. As Fri- day came, it was apparent that the freshmen were not going to win, but they gave it their all. The freshmen class placed fourth, but they had fun in their first Spirit Festival and they will be more ex- perienced for next year. They all pulled together and worked hard to do the best they could, which is, after all, the most important aspect of competition.

High school life re- quires a lot of new adjustments, which don't come easily. Marshall High School is quite large com- pared to Mar Lee or Middle School, and many more courses are offered. Each individual has the freedom of choosing classes that are advantageous to his own fu- ture. The freshmen adjusted well to all of the changes of high school life.

a long way. But looking back is really looking forward. For it is only in doing this. In seeing what we have done. That we see what we CAN do. And ending is really just the Beginning of something new. Let this book serve as a record Of all that we have achieved. But let it be just a milestone In where we are ultimately going. We can do great things. Just take a good look back to the Beginning, and start all over again. That's life, A never-ending cycle of beginnings and endings. And because looking back is encourag- ing. Looking forward is not so bad. by Deb Stanley Looking back over the past year Looking back over the past year, many of us have learned and grown up a lot. For the seniors it's just the begin- ning of a new way of life. The fu- ture holds still unknowns for many of us. The freshmen, sopho- mores, and juniors have many de- cisions left to make. No matter what we achieve in life, we will always remember our high school years. They are a time of sharing laughter and pain, good times and bad, and growing to love our classmates. No matter what the fu- ture holds for us, we will always remember Marshall High School. Pumping iron in gym class is Stephanie Rex rode. Michelle Beebe and Sandi Oxrerhtser hang out during gym class.

It seems like only yesterday that we were just starting to put this yearbook together. Time has gone fast, but we have had fun looking back at the year with you. We had a lot of newcomers to the staff, however, they all managed to pull to- gether and work as a team. That is what putting a successful yearbook together is all about, working as a team. We thank the entire staff for the hard work and extra time put into this book. We set high standards for the 1984 Dial and their dedicat- ion helped to meet these goals. Having a co-editorship can be a very trying experience, but we feel this year it was to our advantage. There were three of us checking each page and we caught a lot of our errors before they came out in print. Mrs. Wheeler always said, Sur- geons bury their mistakes, but journalists must live with theirs. This has been our motto this year. We have several people to thank for their special assistance this year. Mr. Tom Vranich, of InterCollegiate Press, is deserving of our thanks. He stepped in and finally answered the question, Where is Kris? Tom has been helpful in answer- ing our questions and helping with our cover design. We appreciate the help from Mr. Richard Gindlesberger to our photography staff. He assisted them in proper camera and darkroom techniques. Mr. Hugh Gushiken took time out of his busy schedule to take boys' swim team pictures for us. Special thanks to Mr. Dennis Craft for taking group photos and Homecoming Court pictures. More than anyone else, Mrs. Wheeler gets a huge thank you for being a great advisor. She was very devoted to producing the best yearbook possible. This drove us beyond what we thought we could do. She should have won an award for an- swering the most questions and still having patience. She even worked as a part- time photographer when we were short on pictures. We appreciate her guidance and calm leadership. Special thanks to our photographers for the out of class time spent taking pic- tures. Without their dedication and pictures, there would be no book. We wish the best of luck to the entire 1985 Dial staff and in-coming editor, Cece Aaron. Keep smiling and never give up. It really is worth it in the end. Sincerely, Associate editors, 1984 Dial
