For most students Marshall High School isn’t just a building with books. It’s a kind of second home, where they can learn, explore, and excel to the best of their abili- ties. Photo by Mrs. G. Wheeler UP FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. Students knew from the first day of school that something good was happening.

Photo by Laura Day 2 OPENING 1 r What’s i 'ew? Changes were in the air! They weren’t big changes, but they all added up in a special way. Familiar faces were showing up in different places. Mr. Ray Davis was in the principal’s office and many teachers were in different class- rooms. The faces of happy swimmers were in the pool again. There were even some new faces appearing in the same old places. The new assistant principal, Mr. Robert Currie, was in the doorway of many classrooms checking for absence notes. His job was made a little easier because of the new rules that lured the usual “skippers” back into the classroom. The faces of State Farm employees also appeared in the classroom. Drama students came out of hiding and performed two plays. Freshmen cheerleaders were given the chance to raise spirit at freshmen home basketball and football games. Yet, some faces disappeared altogether. The friendly face of Mr. E. Kent Esbaugh, past principal, was rarely seen during the school year. Things such as balloons, flower, “food parties,” and lots of pep assemblies also became scarcities. Even the popular trips taken by the language classes were canceled this year by the State Principals’ Association due to the many terrorist acts overseas. Although the changes varied from good to bad, they all served a purpose. They made this year unique. The changes in the faces, the places, and the times came together and formed a year like no other year. A year filled with the little things, the little victories and even the little disappointments that made up this year. WH AT'S FOR LUNCH? TV dinners! With the cafete- ria decorated in a television theme, the atmosphere of the cafeteria came alive. Students felt like they were right at home in front of the TV Photo by Laura Day WHAT’S UP?

When stu- dents are given nicknames they can represent their humor, history, or character. “Dora”. “Zosh”. and “Linds,” otherwise known as Karen Taylor.

Jeff Douglas, and Kasia Grzeskowiak all woke up early and put on their senior T-shirts to kick off the day. Photo by An- nette Tribby 4 OPENING - ffT n W hats 1 radition? Many changes took place, but this didn’t mean that everything changed. Many traditions were maintained that really kept the school unity evident and the pride continued to shine. The first day of school began at 7:45. Ev- ery student could find his name on a list on the front doors of the school. This directed students to their home- room. In homeroom, lockers were as- signed and every student was given the coveted student handbook, which was hastily tossed into the new lock- ers. The bookstore opened and offered many choices of school supplies and snacks. The bookstore is located at four corners, which has always been the “hot spot” of the school. “Every- body gathers at four-corners in the morning, during lunch, and after school. I always meet my friends at four-corners and we make plans from there,” said senior Susie Mathieu. Mr. Davis, the new principal, in- formed the school that he would be in charge of the senior discipline. So even though he was no longer the assistant principal, he still handled some disci- pline and still invited any student who needed assistance to come to him. The class sponsors kept up tradition. Mr. Hamilton and Mrs. Schmidt both still sponsored the freshmen, Ms. Papes and Mrs. Edwards were in charge of the sophomores again, and Mr. Arm- strong and Mr. Davis enjoyed being the junior class sponsors. The senior class sponsors were Mr. Burns and Mr. Currie. Throughout the year, many days came when the roads were ice or snow covered. Students and teachers agreed that a snow day would have been a nice treat. It has somewhat be- come a tradition in Marshall to be in school on bad weather days. The many small changes did not change the traditions. The great times had by students occurred because of a combi- nation of both changes and traditions. WHAT'S IN THE FORECAST? Snowstorms! Although the snow fell heavily during Spirit Festival, it didn’t dampen school spirit. Juniors. Sabrina Hunter, Pat Russell, and Jeremy Hockett, prepare to make their way home on the slippery roads. Photo by Laura Day WHAT’S IN COMPETITION? Spirit Festival provides a perfect chance for students to get excited. Enthusiasm, cheers, signs, and screams are all ways to encourage classmates to victory. In the end, in spite of the sopho- mores'signs, all arc Redskins.

Mr. Bill Haroff, Spanish teacher, traveled for eight days in Spain with Dcanne Rocco, Bryndis Letzring, Ed Rowand, and Diane Rollins. One of the most exciting parts of their trip was seeing a bull fight. “I disliked the cruel aspects of bullfighting, but ap- preciated the artistic and enter- taining aspects as well,” com- mented Mr. Haroff. Traveling to Koko-Cho, Ja- pan, Marshall’s sister city, were Sandi Overhiser and Cathy Haybach. When thinking about their trip, Sandi and Cathy es- pecially remember the flam- boyant traditional costumes, the many gifts that they re- ceived, and the closeness of the 6 TRAVEL ABROAD Japanese people. “My favorite part of the trip was a night at a home-stay when Sandi and I sat around and lis- tened to music with two teen- agers. That’s when 1 realized that people are the same every- where,” remarked Cathy. Neisha Dickman had the op- portunity to be a summer ex- change student in Japan. She found living with a Japanese family an interesting but diffi- cult situation. “There wasn’t anyone whom I could really talk to. No one in my Japanese fam- ily could speak English well enough to understand me,” she stated. Visiting Germany was the highlight of Michelle Beebe’s summer. While there, she no- ticed that most of the people wore dark clothing. “I felt like I stood out in a crowd with my pastel-colored clothes,” said Michelle. Michelle especially remem- bers all of the festivals that arc celebrated in Germany. While she was there, she attended two of them, a chicken festival and one for fishermen. Being away from home for a year is especially tough when you’re in a foreign country and Betsy Hayes, a foreign ex- change student, now knows that is true. She spent the year in Melbourne, Australia. “The Australian people were all interesting and very friendly. They speak English, yet their slang, in itself, is a different lan- guage,” remarked Betsy. The experiences gained will never be forgotten by these stu- dents who had an exciting trav- el abroad. TRY IT ON FOR SIZE — Neisha Dick- man spent the summer touring Japan.

Nagyi- van BIRDS OF PARADISE — When Bryndis Letzring visited the Plaza Americana in Sevilla, Spain, she made many new friends. While in Spain, she also saw a bull fight, the walled city of Toledo, and Alaam- bra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Photo by Ed Rowand TRAVEL ABROAD 7 little Things in Time we spend as students is a small clip from the great movie that is our life. In a blink, it flickers by, and a lot of our remaining life is dedicated to looking back on those wondrous moments. Yes, there are some bad times, life curfews and detentions, getting the first speeding ticket, or the frantic 2 o’clock in the morning writing of a research paper that’s due the next day; but generally, the high school years are some of the best in everyone’s life. There are always certain things that epitomize the school years. For instance, when fall arrives and the air is rich with the aroma of burning leaves, we all think of football games. This time means the student body sitting together on those cold metal bleachers, breathes frosting in the chill autumn air. The students chant raucously along with the cheer- leaders and sometimes don’t see a lot of the game because they’re so busy socializing and having fun. Yet, there’s a comfortable sense of together- ness, of happy times and friendship that really reflects student lifestyle. We spend high school years looking forward to what lies ahead, not realizing that what we have is what most adults spend their whole lives looking for. Student years are magic ones. They should be cherished and preserved because they represent a time when we are truly free. by Bryndis Letzring SITTING DOWN ON THE JOB.

In their front row scats the court members cud- dled in blankets to enjoy the football game along with a spe- cial treat of hotdogs, popcorn. and soft drinks. This year Mrs. Gloria Wheel- er and Miss Pam Wingcrter were in charge of the crowning ceremonies, which were quite spectacular. Jennifer Madrey and Mark Abbott represented the fresh- man class while Diana Hughes and Bill Morey were the atten- dant and escort for the sopho- more class. Lara Baremor and Ken Krum were selected by the junior class as their representa- tives. Cathy Haybach and John Laupp were the attendant and escort of the senior class. Final- ly, the reigning King and Queen were Scott Kibler and Sandi Overhiser, chosen to represent the entire student body of Mar- shall High School. When asked about their ex- periences, the court members agreed that they especially en- joyed singing songs and rooting for the victorious Redskin foot- ball team. L' WARM FRIENDSHIP.

Whether it was seeing Rusty Scherer fall- ing at four-corners, Mr. Brian Burns parading around in his fa- vorite pajamas, or Ian Korman jamming in the halls on his saxophone with the “Pee-Wee Herman” theme song, everyone enjoyed the fun. Dress Up Days initiated the feeling and excitement of Homecoming in the halls. “Hat- Tie-and Glasses Day” started the week off on the right foot. It was followed by “A Day In The Tropics,” the ever-popular “Nerd Day,” “Pajama Day,” and the traditional “Red and Black Day.” Another important factor of Homecoming was the class sponsors. They were Mrs. Becky Schmidt and Mr. Rich- ard Hamilton for the freshmen; Mrs. Carol Edwards and Ms. Christi Papes for the sopho- mores; Mr. Ben Armstrong and Mr. Ray Davis for the juniors; and Mr. Bums and Mr. Robert Currie for the seniors. Mrs. Edwards confessed, “I had a lot of fun this year, but I'm not sure I’d do it again because of the time commitment.” Work- ing on the lawn display alone took between 35 and 45 hours, not to mention the events on Thursday and Friday. Hopefully, the sponsors know that all of the students appreciate their hard work and dedication. The final event that made HATS ON!

A rare glance at Rusty Scherer just moments away from the fall that made him feel proud to be a nerd. Photo by Mrs. G. Wheeler this year’s homecoming special was the crowning of the King and Queen, Scott Kibler and Sandi Overhiser. Both of them felt extremely honored to be chosen by their peers to repre- sent Marshall High School. When Sandi first heard her name announced, she didn’t know what to do. “I wondered if I was hearing things or if it was really true.” Scott simply couldn't believe it. “It was just great!” he exclaimed. From the beginning, the stu- dent body knew this Homecom- ing was going to be a special one. Although the individual classes competed against each other during the week, it would be impossible to ignore the uni- tv of MHS as a whole. A DAY IN THE TROPICS. Julie Swarthout. Leslie Johnson.

The judges look for originality, creativity, use of materials, and definition of the overall Homecoming theme. The senior lawn display captured these qualities, and they were rewarded with a first place finish. Photo by Bryndis Lctzring Rising Spirit— tudents unite during Homecoming Spirit and school unity were growing during each day of Homecoming week. This was evident in the outstanding par- ticipation of the entire student body in the pep assemblies, dress up days, and class cheers. “Rain Rain Go Away could have been the theme for Thurs- day nights events, but even the bad weather couldn’t dampen student spirit. “I liked having the events inside because it sort of brought ev- eryone together and made things more ex- citing,” said Senior Kathie Brobst. Some of the highlights of Thursday night included the Freshmans’ extremely slow class cheer and the tug of war between classes. In the end, the seniors were ahead by twenty four points, and everyone was looking forward to Friday. Friday proved to be a great ending for an exciting week with the weather clearing for a beautiful day. “I couldn’t be- lieve that the rain cleared for Friday, but it poured on Thurs- day and Saturday. It was like a miracle, commented Elinor Marsh. The pep assembly was very competitive, as the sopho- mores and freshmen continu- ously battled for third place. Donations for the United Fund went forty dollars over the projected goal, and the fresh- men gave a penny more than the seniors for an important win. After two hours of competi- tion, the seniors were still ahead, and most of the students proceeded to help assemble their lawn displays. After the fi- nal judging of the lawn displays, the seniors won overall with a total of 131 points. The juniors ended with 98 points, the sopho- mores obtained 81 points, and the freshmen took a last place with 75 points. The game started at 7:30 with the procession of the Homecoming Court members to their place at the front of the stands. The bleachers were full of excited Marshall fans, who enjoyed a great game and an outstanding half time. The band provided an excellent show featuring miniature baton twirlers, the middle school band, and a selection of songs from the senior band members. In the end, the Redskins pre- vailed against Coldwatcr with a 27 to 6 victory. A dance sponsored by the cheerleaders after the game was the grand finale of Home- coming. It featured the North- ern Lights and a special dance for the court members. Overall, Homecoming was a great success. It brought the en- tire student body together and provided a break in the mono- tony of the first quarter. “I always look forward to Homecoming because it makes everyone become more involved in school activities, remarked Junior Stacey Ambs. Now that Homecoming '85 is over, the students of MHS can look for- ward to an exciting year. 14 HOMECOMING “BORN TO BE WILD, the senior theme song, characterizes the general feeling of Homecoming 1985.

Various institutions donate several hundreds of dol- lars in scholarships toward this traditional event. Contrary to what many people believe. Junior Miss is not a beau- ty pageant. Marshalls program is the search for the most well- rounded high school senior girl. Singing as a talent proved to be very successful for 1986 Ju- nior Miss contestants, as both Creative and Performing Arts winners were vocalists. Friday night’s award went to Mary Youngdahl, who sang “Some- where Over the Rainbow” from the hit musical The Wizard of Oz. Mary received a $100 scholarship for her perfor- mance in the memory of Connie Simpson, Marshall’s Junior Miss in 1973. Saturday night’s Creative and Performing Arts Award was received by Joye 16 JUNIOR MISS Trine who sang a medley of songs from the movie. West Side Story. Joye’s scholarship of $100 was given in the mem- ory of Jean Livingston Minear. The winner of the Physical Fitness award was Tammy Brownell. Krista Fhaner was awarded the Poise and Appear- ance Scholarship. Both girls re- ceived $100 scholarships. A highly prestigious award in the Junior Miss program is the “Spirit of Junior Miss.” The winner of this award is chosen by her fellow contestants based upon her overall enthusiasm for Junior Miss. This year’s recipi- ent was Becky Glotfelty. “Becky was energetic and ex- cited about everything. Her en- thusiasm spread through the girls and helped them to look on the bright side of it all,” re- marked Beth Rapp. Tina Mann was named sec- ond runner-up and was given a $450 scholarship. In addition to this, Tina received a $300 schol- arship for the Scholastic Achievement Award. The first runner-up was Sandi Ovcrhiser, who received a $650 scholar- ship. Tammy Brownell was se- lected as the 1986 Marshall Ju- nior Miss and received $1000 for her outstanding perfor- mances. When asked about how it feels to be a Junior Miss, Tammy said, “To become Ju- nior Miss was a great honor, and I am proud to represent Mar- shall in the state program.” To the participants of the 1986 pageant Junior Miss was the chance to renew old ac- quaintances and share in an al- together exciting experience. It was an experience that no one would ever forget. As parents filled the auditorium each night, the love that shone in their eyes was bright enough to light the entire city. THOSE PEARLY WHITES.

Photo by Ann Youngdahl. — High Spirits— Students pull together for a win Spirit Festival definitely cap- tured the enthusiasm of the stu- dent body and broke the mono- tony of winter. It was a chance for everyone to just have a good time. “The best part about Spir- it Festival was watching every- one make fools of themselves,” commented Jim Laupp, and that’s something that most peo- ple easily accomplished. The week began with the decorating of windows and an array of dress up days. The theme of Spirit Festival was television, and the seniors cre- ated a winning window with a collage of TV scenes centering on the idea of “I’d rather be watching TV.” The dress up days were as follows: Monday, Occupation Day; Tuesday, A Day in the Tropics; Wednesday, 50’s day; Thursday, Pajama Day or Senior Toga Day; and Friday, Red and Black Day. Mother nature again tried to spoil Thursday night’s events with an incredible snow storm, but even poor road conditions couldn’t keep the students away. Some highlights of the evening were human bingo, the tricycle race, and ping pong. After a night of hard work, the seniors were ahead with the freshman close behind. Friday proved to be the cli- max of an exciting week. The assembly began with a breath taking entrance by Rocky alias Mr. Ben “Arnie” Armstrong. This just made everyone all the more ready to compete. The se- niors pulled ahead early in the competition, but the under- classmen made every point count with an amazingly close race. “I remember how close the race was between the three underclassmen classes most of all,” said Tony Charameda. People remembered many different aspects of Friday’s as- sembly, but overall the energy nd excitement were remem- bered most. “I especially re- member when Greg Machek won the jelly bean hunt for the third year in a row, and Natalie Parrish told Christin Claybom where to drop her eggs,” said Kasia Grzeskowiak, senior. After two hours of competi- tion, the class cheers ended ev- erything on a high note. The fi- nal scores were 125 Vi for the seniors, 91 for the juniors, 90 for the sophomores, and close behind, 89 Vi for the freshmen. With the conclusion of Spirit Festival, most students could face the winter months with re- lief. Most of all, during occa- sions like Spirit Festival, stu- dents should get everyone to participate and have fun. Win- ning as a class wasn’t everything and in the end, the students pulled together as a united body to root on the victorious Reds- kin basketball team.

Photo by Tina Mann Let’s Dance- Fifties dance is a big success Memories of Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys, and Chubby Checker filled the halls during the first few weeks in April. With the upcoming fifties dance, many students enjoyed the pre-dance atmosphere. “The pre-dance stuff gets you excited to go and do all the fun fifties dances,” remarked Eli- nor Marsh. Every day students heard “Big Daddy” Armstrong on the announcements pumping them up for the big night. Friday afternoon also proved to be very exciting with a fifties pre-dance show in the cafeteria during lunch time. Sixteen se- niors dressed in typical fifties attire and demonstrated some popular dances like the twist, the swim, the monkey, and the line dance. “Dancing in the cafeteria was a lot of fun. I liked demonstrat- ing the different dances, but having Mr. Roy dance with me during B lunch was the best part of all,” said Tina Mann. The big dance began at eight o’clock and was held in the gym. Nothern Lights played a med- ley of hits from the fifties which included “Leader of the Pack,” “Blue Moon,” and “Surfin’ USA.” Group dances like the hokey pokey, the bunny hop, and the line dance were especially pop- ular. “The group dances like the line dance are what 1 like best about fifties dances,” comment- ed Kim Upston. “The fifties dance is really a swinging time. You can do the hokey pokey or stroll down the middle of a line dance,” added Kristi Willis. Most of all, the students liked the fifties dance because it was a chance to dress up and make a fool of yourself. “The Fifties dance gives peo- ple a chance to really cut loose and be crazy,” commented Lau- rie Fairies. “I like the fifties dance be- cause it’s a change from the same old dances and the limbo contest really makes it fun,”re- marked Trinesha Thurston. The limbo contest was an ex- citing finale for the dance. Kel- ly O’Dowd was the overall win- ner going as low as two foot four inches. Justin Sweet was the male winner and showed a great effort making it to a low two foot six inches. Thank goodness that this year's fifties dance was a suc- cess. Due to a decline in atten- dance over the years, the fifties dance was almost cancelled. After this year’s outstanding participation, this special tradi- tion will continue in the years to come. “This year’s fifties dance was very successful and a lot of fun,” Mr. “Big Daddy” Arm- strong enthusiastically agreed. 20 FIFTY’S DANCE SOCK HOP.

Photo by Pam Hamilton Anticipation is the key to pre- paring for the J-Hop. “How should I do my hair?” “I wonder how much my tux will cost” and “Where do you think we’ll go for dinner?” are just some of the questions people ask before Prom. Anticipating what the J-Hop will be like requires some plan- ning ahead. While most are de- ciding what color dress to get or asking Dad for the car, the ju- niors are busy deciding on the theme, printing programs, and putting up the decorations. The students who worked did so for different reasons. “I worked because it was fun and I had the chance to get to know people I normally don't see,” commented Julie Swarthout. Stacey Ambs worked, “Because there was a bond between the people who really participated in making it a success. This made it even more fun.” During the five weeks of preparation for the J-Hop, ev- eryone had a great time work- ing. “For me,” Jennifer Al- bright remarked, “the best part was the wonderful feeling of ac- complishment when the whole thing was finished. We’d worked so hard for so long and to finally see it all put together was really great!” While all of this was going on, Mr. Ben Armstrong sat back and supervised all the activities. “Arnie helped us all a lot. With- out him there to get us orga- nized and give us advice, we never could’ve gotten it done,” Diane Rollins mentioned. Though it involved hard work and required a lot of time and effort, Mr. Armstrong came back to help the juniors. “I guess I enjoy working with kids in a different setting than in the classroom,” he stated. When everything was fin- ished and the J-Hop was over, it was clear that the juniors' hard work and dedication had paid off. Amy Hurley commented, “I liked the decorations because you could tell the juniors had put a lot of time and effort into them.” “I thought the decorations were nice and the theme was a fresh change from past years,” stated Jenny Muster.

The theme of the prom was “Enchantment Under the Sea and the atmosphere, filled with tropical fish and mermaids, made students feel like they were really underwater. “The juniors did a great job with decorations and the whole theme was very creative, com- mented senior Vicki Kiessling. “1 really liked the underwat- er theme and putting it all to- gether made me appreciate go- ing to the J-Hop even more, added junior Becky Bidwell. The dance began at 8:30 with the exciting sounds of Cruise Control. “I enjoyed the band. They played with a driving beat that rang through my ears, said senior Andy Peters. Pictures by Craft Studio were taken from 8:30 to 10:30 in an underwater scene adorned with sea horses and coral. Many couples danced the night away and often stole away to a quiet corner for a break. Others spent the evening with friends, and everyone enjoyed the refreshments at the deep sea cavern. “The J-Hop is a special event that you get to really dress up for and spend with friends,” re- marked junior Mitch Mathews. Senior Jeff Douglas stated, “After each dance the refresh- ments made me want to get back on the dance floor and boogie down. The post-dance schedule left the students with even more ex- citement. Bowling at the Mar- shall Lanes from 12:30 to 2:30 was provided, but some people also chose to catch a midnight movie or grab an early break- fast at a nearby truckstop. “After the prom, about four- teen of us went to a movie. It was a fun way to end the even- ing, said senior Brenda Rollins. J-Hop activities didn’t stop at 2:30 A.M. though as students topped their weekend off with a funfilled Sunday. Many braved the rainy weather and traveled to Lake Michigan or Cedar Point. Senior Louri Woods com- mented, “Even though it was cold and rainy at Lake Michi- gan, we still had fun playing football and picnicing in the woods. “Going to Cedar Point was a lot of fun. The weather was nice and it was a great way to end the wekend, added Senior Natalie Parrish. Overall, the J-Hop weekend was an exciting event for every- one. The juniors worked hard to make the J-Hop special and they were definitely successful. TAKE NOTICE. Betsy Hayes and her crew let everyone know about the J- Hop.

Each year they leave their own unique mark on Mar- shall High School like wet foot- prints in soft clay, and those prints form a path for those who follow. This year, the community of Marshall will see students gradu- ate who are more than “just the Senior Class”, they are a group. There is an understanding that brings them together and makes this class special, uniquely individ- ualistic, and strongly independent. Some classes discover their “se- nior friendship” the day of gradu- ation, or during the singing of the theme song for Class Night; not these seniors. They have been a unit from the first day they came to this school. Whether it was a morning Spirit Festival meeting at McDonald’s, or a late-night, last-minute lawn dis- play gathering at Annette Tribby’s house, this class definitely had some great times. Some, like the devastating victories during both homecoming and Spirit Festival, were more fun than blood donation (and certainly a lot less painful). Most importantly, they were done by a goup of individuals. The se- niors participated as a class, not as a grade of students who were forced together by the school sys- tem. They were leaders as well as fol- lowers in academics and sports. They were seniors who took charge, and turned their year into a memorable and positive one. EACH YEAR two seniors arc given the Bill Holt Award. The recipients must show athletic excellence as well as sportsmanship and good grades. Dawn Durham and Kevin Hoffman definitely display these qualities. Photo by Bryn- dis Lelzring BACK TO BACK and ready to support each other are Chris Crouch and Jeff Larson.

Not only were the skits amus- ing, they were also well-constructed and artfully performed. This extraordinary show was put together in only one short month by a group of students who, of all people, could barely spare the time, but spare it they did. Most practices were held at the high school or middle school auditoriums and lasted anywhere from two to four hours. They involved a lot of blood and sweat as the prospective acts and fillers struggled against time to get organized. “The long hours were tough,” ad- mitted Rob Lazzaretti, “but I didn't mind, and they made my parents happy. It kept me out of the house!” As the month flew by and the final week of preparations approached, ten- sion grew, but remarkably, people stayed relatively calm. Practice sessions length- ened to four and five hours, and the acts that could not make the grade were cut by Mr. Burns. A tentative show schedule was made, and, for the successful acts, dress-rehearsals began. Ginny Huggett remembered the nerve-wracking rehearsals. “We prac- ticed over and over,” she smiled grimly, “but when we finally got out on stage, all the repetition was worth it.” On the evening of Class Night spirits were high, and the performers were ready to go. Down in the MMS cafete- ria, the class of '86 gathered to wait for the signal to go on stage for the opening song. “I was nervous at first,” mused Gini Hawkins, “but when we got on stage for opening, everything was O.K.” Nervousness was shown in many ways that night. Some of the acts practiced key lines over and over again (much to the dismay of the nearby performers), and a Hacky Sac was brought in and booted continously. Mr. Burns, after being told in no un- certain terms by Mr. Armstrong to stay out of the way, periodically paced the cafeteria, checking up on acts and cheer- ing up performers. -I WAS SO SURPRISED, I couldn’t stop shak- ing,” recalled Vicki Kiessling who. along with Scott Kibler. received the Steve Wasielewski Me- morial Award. The award is given by the Bookstore each year. Photo by Ann Youngdahl 28 CLASS NIGHT -BEING A JANITOR IS GREAT! announces Dave VanderWcg to MC Jeff Douglas.

Photo by Ann Youngdahl 30 CLASS NIGHT “We’re so excited” Work, fun, emotion, closeness Class Night heated up from the very start as the seniors began singing their own version of the Pointer Sisters’, “We’re So Excited.” From then on, all of Marshall could hear the laughs bellowing from the Mid- dle School Auditorium. The first act fea- tured Chris Bicknell singing, “I Wanna be a Cowboy,” accompanied by a spirit- ed Becky Glotfelty. Steve Gottshall’s slide show followed. This added a unique look, no buts about it! Many fillers and acts followed, which highlighted senior citizens, a midget ma- keover, the Beverly Hillbillies, parties, piano lessons from everyone’s favorite, Freddie Kruger, and a modern day jazz version of “The Three Bears.” The emcees, Annette Tribby, Kevin Koenig and Jeff Douglas, were vital parts of the evening. “Being an emcee was a lot of hard work, but also an honor. I liked representing my class and work- ing with Kevin and Jeff,” remarked An- nette Tribby. Before the slide show, the Memory Act initiated a melancholy mood. Yvonne Mumaw looked through her hope chest and remembered the “good old days” at MHS. The slide show by Beth Rapp brought out many emotions, as it revealed every angle of the Class of ’86. After intermission, the audience en- joyed MHS Update. It included a fresh- man experiencing the lunchroom for the first time, Tina Mann’s math problems at Spirit Festival, and Glenn’s exper- iences in the hall. The show highlighted a belly bump contest between Arnie and Mr. Davis, a hilarious version of “Hands Across America,” a jumbo look at aerobics, and finally, a Redskin-style Superbowl Shuf- fle. The Evolution of Music showed a glimpse of the first cavemen sounds to the modern day Pee Wee Herman theme song. “Shake It” was a surprise to the crowd as the curtains opened to reveal a chorus line of male dancers. MHS UPDATE NEWSCASTERS, Annette Tribby and Kevin Koenig, reminisced about no snow days, the sit down strike, and The Great Race. They were joined by Jeff Douglas as emcees for the program.

Wheeler Seniors rule Seniors rule. This was obvious throughout Homecoming Week. Every- one could see that the seniors would be victorious. Along with tradition, it was their inner desire to win that determined their overwhelming victory over the un- derclassmen. Homecoming is a special event for ev- eryone, especially for the seniors. This year, four outstanding people represent- ed the Senior Class and the school on the Homecoming Court. After the votes were tallied, Scott Kiblcr and Sandi Overhiser reigned as King and Queen. They were not alone, however, John Laupp and Cathy Haybach accompa- nied them as the senior escort and atten- dant. The class of 1986 had two weeks to prepare for homecoming. They stayed after school to decorate Senior Hall. There were signs and streamers and pa- per 45s on their lockers to go along with the theme of homecoming. The seniors even had a “Freshman captive,” compli- ments of Todd Davis. They practiced their events and com- pleted a lawn display that left everyone in awe of their creativity. Because of their time and effort, the seniors won many events including two dress-up days, “Hal, tic and glasses day” and “A day in the tropics.” The seniors placed first in the class competition cheer and the group stand-up on Thursday night. The competition Friday afternoon was intense. Seniors were victorious in the centipede race, the spider crawl and the lawn display. This year was the second year in a row' the class of 1986 won these events. Homecoming 1985 meant a lot of dif- ferent things to many seniors. John Laupp said. “It was like being sad and glad at the same time. I was sad it was our last homecoming, but I was glad it was our senior homecoming.” A lighter side of homecoming was expressed by Joye Trine when she stated, “It was fun. I was excited. I flunked a test that day.” Everything each senior did in prepara- tion for homecoming added up to a victo- ry for the class. Even though homecom- ing was over, the memories lingered. For the underclassmen it was just another homecoming; for the seniors it was their homecoming. The class of 1986 will nev- er forget their last homecoming at MHS.

Inside, Kasia sits, cradling her prized viola under her chin while intently concen- trating her whole being on the music before her. Kasia chose to play the viola, rather than the violin, because she thought the violins tone was too ‘screechy’. Using her remarkable music prowess to its fullest extent, this talented violoist has won many awards at the State Solo and Ensem- ble. She was also first chair viola in the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Asso- ciation. In conjunction with Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. Kasia. along with many other talent- ed young musicians, traveled to Europe and played in the International Orchestra. Cur- rently, she is a member of the Kalamazoo U I 9 f I'W KJ V Symphony Orchestra. Kasia enjoys contemporary 20th century music more than classical because, as she explains. “There’s more freedom of expres- sion. You, as a musician, can put a lot more feeling into your music.” Her favorite com- poser. Shostakovich, reflects her taste in con- temporary music. She believes that he com- poses his symphonies in such a way that it allows violists to put depth and feeling into their parts. For her future plans, Kasia intends to go to college and attain her Bachelor of Music de- gree, and eventually, her Master’s degree. Her dream is to belong to a major symphony such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. POISED TO PLAY, Kasia Grzeskowiak's face re- veals the intense concentration needed by every successful violist.

Each participant donated almost one full pint of blood for the Red Cross' use. Besides donating. Shelly also assisted her fellow students to and from the canteen, and continuously watched to make sure that they did not become ill or faint. This act of goodwill was done in accordance with her status as an Oaklawn volunteer. Photo by Bryndis Lct ring Seniors donate Giving the gift of life Every twelve seconds some person in the United States needs a blood transfu- sion. Even though the demand for blood is urgent, only five percent of our na- tion’s population gives blood. Many peo- ple fear donation due to the misconcep- tion that they might contract AIDS through a contaminated needle. This forces organizations like the Red Cross to continuously extend themselves in search of suitable donors. Each year, blood drives are held to fulfill the quota for the tremendous amount of blood used in our hospitals each year. Students comprise approxi- mately twenty percent of the blood do- nor force. Schools such as Marshall High hold their yearly donation in an attempt to meet the area Red Cross de- mands. This year ninety-five students gave blood at MHS. “Marshall High School gives more blood than any other school in Calhoun County,” commented James Withers, Director of the local Red Cross chapter. “It’s a tremendous amount for a school of its size, and that’s something to be proud of,” Mr. Withcr’s continued. Some students began to get a little nervous as donation time drew' near. Talk of needles as thick as drinking straws began to circulate around the school. People who had previously donated con- tinued to say that it didn’t hurt. . . much. The donors began the process of filling out a questionnaire, followed by a blood test to check for sufficcnt hemoglobin. These preliminary tests alone were enough to make many people nervous. The white-coated nurses then led the student to the waiting couch, and began the blood-donation process. At this point, most people were ask- ing, “Is it going to hurt?” and “Why did I ever sign up for this?” “She kept telling me to relax, relax,” Gina Morey recalled. “I told her I was as relaxed as I was gonna get!” As they reclined on the couch, most of the first-time donors realized that it wasn’t as bad a process as they imagined it would be. Even so, some students had to prop their feet up in the air because they began to feel dizzy. Incoming stu- dents were occasionally shocked by the supine bodies and white faces. “You walked in, and it was like being in a morgue,” recalled Rachel Sherman with a shudder. “Actually, it didn't hurt at all, but it was a different experience.” Helle Schade Hansen Timothy Allen Harinek Timothy R.

Some area enter- prises like Fclpausch and McDonald’s hire many students, meeting their needs for a first job that will assist them in their future goals. However, a few stu- dents don't get as much recognition due to the specialization of their jobs. One senior with an unusual job is Joye Trine. Joye is an assistant at the Craig Kcmpf Funeral Home. Her usual duties include: arranging flowers, moving cas- kets, and assisting visitors; yet Joye’s job demands a large degree of maturity and concern that is not imperative in other senior jobs. She helps the immediate families in the time of their grief. The empathy Joye extends to the mourners truly exemplifies her as an outstanding employee. Ed Rowand’s job doesn’t require the extreme degree of seriousness that Joye’s does, but is a vital part of the Marshall safety. Ed is a lifeguard at the high school pool. Being a top-notch swimmer and trained life-saver helped him get this position, but he sometimes wonders at his choice of employ. “My job involves a lot of long hours and stress,” he smiles wryly. “Sometimes I wonder why I applied, yet I really enjoy my work.” READY AND WILLING to go to work arc: Joye Trine, assistant at Craig Kcmpf Funeral Home; Edward Rowand, MHS life- guard; Beth Rapp. Cornwell’s Turkey Farm employee and Beth Bcncker, Wilcox Veterinary Clinic assistant, with “Abby .

Graduation is a time to reflect on those memories. Faculty members share their special thoughts and recol- lections with the Class of 1986. Mr. Armstrong noted, “The Class of 1986 was a lot of fun to work with in their junior year. They did a super job on the J-Hop and gave the seniors a real battle at homecoming and Spirit Festival. Mr. Roy commented, “The 1986 se- nior class has been a great asset to Mar- shall High School in the four years here. The class has real class!

I recall that they cared about each other from the start, not just during Class Night or graduation. They have been proud, fun, funny, courteous, competent, intelligent, sensitive, and striving people. I remember so many special scenes from this class. One of my favorites is the day we concluded the long study of the 16th century. Many of the students had brought in authentic food dishes from the period, and as they ate, one of their number played 16th century music on her viola. Outside the cafeteria, it was raw, bitter winter. Inside, there was the warmth of their friendship for each oth- er, their intellectual curiosity, their youthful hunger, and the strength and versatility particular to this class. They were special to me that day, as all my seniors were every day. I wish the best for each one of them. They’ve brightened my days as a teacher; I'll nev- er forget them.

Most seniors have access to their own cars, and the few who don’t usually try to weasel a ride from someone who does. While prestige is one of the noticeable benefits in possessing a car, most seniors drive to school as a means of transporta- tion to their jobs in the surrounding com- munity. Each car, truck, or van has its own personality which, in a way, reflects its owner. Some are colorful, a few rather dirty. One or two are classics, and quite a few need bodywork. In the midst of this bevy of bombers, certain senior vehicles stand apart as unique. Among the most memorable are Darin Gwin’s red and white 1957 Chevy, Joye Trine’s one-of-a-kind Volkswagen “Thing”, Scott Warman’s “Harrymo- bile’ inspiration for this year’s senior mascot, and Ken Lee’s much-prized blue Jeep. A car is an extension of the self. It shows one's limitations and possibilities. For each senior, it is a means to attain goals and show spirit. POISED ON THE HOOD of her 1966 blue Rambler Classic.

This reli- gious ceremony is meant to inspire mem- bers of the graduating class as they be- gin their new lives of independence. Par- ents showed much pride as they saw their graduates in their caps and gowns for the first time. The service began with Pastor Randy Fudge, of the West Eckford Missionary Church, opening in prayer. The assem- bly remained standing and sang one of the great hymns of the church, “Great is Thy Faithfulness.” Marshall Singers then sang for those present. Kevin Koenig and Teresa Martinez participat- ed in the service by reading scripture. Following with a special song, “Praise The Lord, He Never Changes,” was Mary Beth Whipple. Pastor Dale Turner, of the West Eckford Missionary Church, shared with the assembly a special mes- sage of encouragement. The Singers' performed “For The Beauty of The Earth.” This service was special for the senior members of the Marshall Singers because it was the last time they were able to sing with the Singers. Baccalaureate service was a preview of commencement. The Class of 1986 sat together in their caps and gowns hap- pily, yet hesitantly, awaiting graduation. Even though graduation is the ultimate goal, it is a step most would like to keep at a distance; somehow hoping this year would never end. This service meant a lot to the seniors. “I enjoyed Baccalaureate. The message was one of encouragement,” said Teresa Martinez. Receiving advice and inspira- tion assisted these graduates in their fu- ture. This was just another step in prep- aration for a happy, successful life.

Inside, the tension and excitement also crackled, but the electricity within was due to the imminent graduation of the Class of 1986. The ceremony was very dignified and decorous. For the first time, the teachers were requested to attend the graduation in gowns and robes, and the audience was asked to restrain their overenthusiastic responses. The processional started off on a re- gal note with the time-honored playing of “Pomp and Circumstances” accom- panying the entrance of the graduating seniors. Two of the class members were cho- sen as speakers by their peers. Sandi Overhiser and Kasia Grzeskowiak both spoke strongly on the class' unity, achievements, and future goals and op- portunities. Under the title, “Who Knows Where the Time Goes ... ”, guest speaker and class representative, Mr. Brian Burns, presented one of the most interesting and well-tailored speeches ever given at a Marshall High School graduation ceremony. A special warmth was evident from the beginning of Mr. Burns’ speech. It was apparent to all who attended that he felt a genuine affection for all of the students, and that sincerity revealed it- self in his speech. Near the end of his oration, Mr. Burns mentioned a favorite quote of his which he thought was particularly per- tinent to the students gathered before him, and the lives which they were about to go out into the world and lead. He said, “If there is one thing that I would like you to remember, it is to ‘Push Your Ow n Buttons'. Keep control of your own life, and you will never fail in anything you do.” “THERE ARE THOSE WHO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN ...

Photo by Bryndis Letzring A 48 POST GRADUATION Painting futures Seniors end with a party The first day of school is, in some ways, similar to graduation. Seniors ap- proach the night not knowing exactly how to feel or what will happen. After graduation, exaltation is obvious just as it is seen after that first scary day of school. After graduation people have mixed feelings. “I didn’t know what to think; I was happy that it was over with and at the same time, I was sad for the same reason,” said Dave VanderWeg. The par- ents helped to get all of the minds off of their futures and pasts. They relaxed with great food, friends, and dancing. After commencement, every senior and a guest were invited to attend a party, given in their honor, at the Country Club. From 9:30 until almost 2:00 a.m. the country club was shaking with excite- ment. There were many activities sched- uled and everyone was welcome to choose their entertainment. There was a terrific band called “Center Stage”, a video tape of Class Night was shown, and there was an extravagant spread of food. “We just sat and watched the video for a long time because it was so fun to see ourselves, and oh, did I ever make a fool of myself sometimes,” remembered Andy Dryer. The parents of the Class of 1986 suc- ceeded in making a great, relaxing, and enjoyable evening for the newest Mar- shall alumni. The success of this party was due greatly to the contributions of time and money from a large majority of these parents. The artistic theme was “Paint Your Future” and that is exactly what the class of 1986 is preparing to do! -I REALLY ENJOYED JAMMING to the great sounds of ‘Center Stage,’ I wasn’t ready to quit when the band was,” Tim Harrison commented after dancing the night away.

Photo by Bryndis Lctzring POST GRADUATION 49 little Things in Participation in organizations means hard work and the willingness to pull together with others on ideas. A student’s ability to help the school, class- mates, or even the city of Marshall results from membership in an or- ganization. There are many opportunities to expand one’s mind and have a lot of fun doing it. Each language club had planned a trip to a foreign country. Unfortunately, all were cancelled due to terrorist threats overseas. On the positive side, the Debate team won the Class B state cham- pionship. Journalism participants received seven awards from the Michigan Interscholastic Press As- sociation (MIPA). Also, the Mar- shall FFA won the State FFA Co- operative Award. A new addition, the Ski Club, provided members with the oppor- tunity to better their skiing skills. Chieko Miyai, a senior, com- mented, “If you can work well in a group of fellow classmen, you can easily get along with anyone.” Another benefit is learning something new about oneself. Ad- visor to the Marshall FFA Chapter, Mr. Floyd Beneker, pointed out, “When some people join a club, it is because their friends have done so. Most of them find that they enjoy it and in the process discover their value in the structure of the club.” Everyone who becomes a mem- ber or officer is an important part of a team. Through teamwork, each person adds to the success of any organization. IN CONGRATULATIONS for the great job they did, a small reception was given on the behalf of the Class B State Champion Debate team. The team in- cludes Assistant Coach John Brundagc, Tyler Mathews, Jennifer Redman, MaryBeth Whipple, and Kristen Spears.

Journalism adds it up Journalism may bring to mind the im- agery of aggressive reporters, over- strained editors, vigorous photogra- phers, and the ever demanding dead- lines. Marshall High School’s Journalism Department resembles these aspects in a way, but there is more to the organization. The department consists of two subdivi- sions; yearbook and newspaper. This year the journalism department joined the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association. They strived to adhere to MI PA professional standards. As an exam- ple, the yearbook used a unified approach to the Dial through theme. Vicki Kiessling and Dave Gushiken attended a workshop this summer to prepare for the year ahead. Vicki received the honor of being named outstanding Journalism Student in the In- termediate Division. All of the students selected for journal- ism are highly qualified. Ginny Huggctt commented “Working on the yearbook staff is a good learning experience. It exposes you to a lot of new and interesting people.” Vicki Kiessling and Sandi Overhiser pre- side as co-editors of the Dial. The newspaper produces the “Inter- change” for monthly up-to-date informa- tion. Mrs. Gloria Wheeler, journalism advi- sor, and Dan Clark also attended the MI PA workshop for newspaper. This year they ex- panded to a twelve page issue, and the ap- plication of horizontal layouts. Dave Buck- enberger is editor-in-chief of the “Inter- change.” In addition, the newspaper staff also pro- duces the “Senior Edition.” Steve Gottshall and Steve Funk received the esteem of be- ing chosen editors for the special issue. With Mrs. Wheeler’s guidance, the two staffs successfully added up the year through a collection of outstanding words, pictures and memories. WRITING FEATURE IDEAS, Pam Hamilton works hard as feature editor for the “Interchange”. Recheck- ing for mistakes and making sure the reading material remains interesting is also included in her job.

Proved Victorious Presenting both the affirmative and negative sides of a case with hopes of scoring higher than the other team, is the main goal of all debate teams. For a few debators, the season may start early with three weeks of workshops held at the University of Michigan. Coach Mr. James Telfer stated, “I feel that the work- shops attended over the summer have been very beneficial to us and have played a big part in our repeated success.” This proved to be true as the Varisty de- bate team was awarded the title of Class B State Champions. In February, 18 schools attended the 69th Annual State Debate Championship Tournament held in Ann Ar- bor, Michigan. After winning close matches against Wayland and Caro High Schools, Marshall downed our cross-country rival Harper Creek by a score of 2-1. After the victory, the varsity team was invited to attend a tournament at Harvard University. To raise funds and cover ex- THE 1986 NOVICE DEBATE TEAM Front: Janalen Riccinto, Marla Overhiser.

Wheeler penses, the debate class held “The Great Debate,” which was a sample debate per- formed in the auditorium. The Great De- bate was profitable as the public was called upon to sponsor rows and ads in the pro- gram during the performance. The Novice team also had their share of pride. They took second place in the Ex- pressway League, which is a competition among eight schools in this area. They also tied for fifth place in the Novice State Championship Tournament, held at Cen- tral Michigan University. The tremendous effort that each member adds to the debate team has benefitted not only the school, but their knowledge also. Students’ active participation helped add more victories for MHS. Summing up the 1986 Forensics season, Eric Kilbourn stated, “Forensics is a fun way to represent the school, it goes beyond competition because you meet new people.” Under the guidance of Mr. James Telfer, the Forensics Team was able to enjoy a suc- cessful year as well as represent and add pride to Marshall. THE CHAMPS: The 1986 Varsity Debate Team Front: Mary Beth Whipple, Tyler Mathews; Back: Kristin Spears, and Jennifer Redman. Photo by David Gushiken Speaking out . . . With Enthusiasm Forensics is a competitive form of giving speeches. However, in reali- ty, it’s performing a speech to a judge and the other competitors while wishing for a win. A forensics tournament is usually held on Saturday, and the location is one of the area schools. There are two main divisions in forensics competition. The first is Public Address which has six catagories. They are informa- tive, impromptu, oratory, extemporaneous, radio and sales. The second area, the Inter- pretive division, has story telling, humor- ous, serious, dramatic, multiple and duo competitions available. After having excellent performances at four local tournaments, the Forensics Team traveled to Kalamazoo Central to partici- pate in the district competition. At this tournament, eight of 18 Marshall students advanced to the regional competition at Harper Creek. After districts, four of the eight from MHS advanced to the State Tournament. They were: Kristin Spears, radio; Mike Wolf, improptu 9-10; Mary Beth Whipple, extemporaneous; and Mike McNeil and Janalen Riccinto, duo 9-10. Mary Beth Whipple, senior, commented, “It really was exciting to qualify for state. The competition was good and I was proud of my performance.” After qualifying for state, the four went on and competed at the University of Michigan for the class B Sweepstakes title. They turned in very good performances. Whipple placed second in extemp. Wolf reached the semi-finals and tied for fourth place in impromptu 9-10. Spears reached the semi-finals and tied for tenth in radio. The team went on and finished tenth over- all in the sweepstakes tabulations. STATE QUALIFERS Front: Janalen Riccinto. Duo 9- 10.

Add enrichment Parlez-vous francais? Dicisne la- tinam linguam? Hablan espanol? If one can answer “yes” to any of these questions, then you have par- ticipated in the Marshall High School lan- guage clubs’ experience. The Spanish, French, and Latin Clubs add their culture enrichment to the school. Many hard work- ing members have supported the club func- tions throughout the year. The Spanish Club, under supervision of Senor Bill Haroff, sold Mexican food pro- ducts, held bakesales, sponsored two dances, and took part in a car wash to ac- quire money for future trips to Spain. The previous summer, Bryndis Letzring, Deanne Rocco, Edward Rowand, and Mr. Haroff traveled to Spain. Some other members were able to visit La Cantina, a Spanish restaurant in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Club participants also threw a Christmas party. Spanish Club offi- cers included President Diane Rollins, Vice-President Bryndis Letzring, Secretary Karie Katsarelas and Treasurer Mary Beth Whipple. The French Club, under advisor Ma- dame Ruth Berryhill, held bakesales, two dances, sold stationary, cookies, Christmas candles, and ornaments to earn some mon- ey to make their planned trip to France. All of the language clubs organized groups to travel to a foreign country, but terrorist threats overseas cancelled all plans for this year. The French Club also held a Christmas party. As an extra, members were able to receive First hand experience of French vo- cabulary by eating at the French restaurant Escoffier in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Mrs. Berryhill felt that the club provided stu- dents with “time to know each other outside of the classroom.” The French Club officers consisted of President Tina Mann, Vice- President Rockne Klein, Secretary-Trea- surer Kathie Brobst, and Trinesha Thurston and Steve Townsend as the activity chair- persons. The Latin Club has been active this year. Ms. Kendra Magnus is advisor to this busy group. The club’s intention of traveling to Italy was put off for this year. They planned many fund raising events for the school year. For instance, they held a Latin Club Slave Sale, pig roasts, Valentine’s Day flow- er sale, balloons and Christmas card sales. Melinda Wolff stated what she liked best about the Latin Club, “One gets to meet the public when you work at activities such as the pig roast at football games, and you also come into contact with the student body at events like the Slave Sales.” The Latin Club officers were President Lara Baremor, Co-Vicc-Presidents Andy Dryer and Mary Lou Knaack, Secretary Susie Hatcher, Treasurer Cathy Swender, and Tony Bed- well as their mascot. “HAPPINESS IS ... having a slave for the day, say Dave Buckenbergcr and Richard Drake as they tor- ment their slave, Kristin Spears.

Berryhill FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLUBS 57 National Honor Society Members Show leadership Selection for membership into the Na- tional Honor Society is based on four crite- ria: scholarship, leadership, service, and character. This honor can only be given to those students whose academic record of high scholastic achievement enables them to be eligible for induction. The first category for selection is scholar- ship. Students must have a minimum GPA of 3.5 or better. They must have attended Marshall High School a minimum of one semester and carry a minimum of three units of credit each semester. The students’ actual cumulative GPA is based on the five previous semesters in the areas of math, science, English, social studies, and foreign language. The second requirement for selection is leadership. The student must demonstrate constructive leadership and exemplify posi- tive qualities and attitudes. The other catagories which are taken into consideration are service and charac- ter. The student must have been involved in a minimum of three organizations, demon- strate a willingness to render appropriate service to the school and community when called upon, and show a willingness to do committee or staff work. The student must meet promptly and responsibly the individ- ual commitment to the school, staff mem- bers, and the community. He or she must demonstrate the highest standards of hon- esty, reliability, fairness, cooperation, toler- ance and integrity. “I would encourage anyone to uphold the standards of NHS, because it’s a good expe- rience and a great privilege to belong to that organization,” commented Kevin HofTman. The faculty members were asked to rate candidates on all four criteria. This rating was based on a sixteen point total. Four points were given for an exceptional, cre- ative, and unusual student. Two points giv- en for a receptive, constructive, and pro- ductive student. Two points given for a co- operative, but passive student. One point given to a student who is negative, and non- productive. National Honor Society members volun- teer their services throughout the commu- nity and school. “I volunteered to help at the Provincial House because I like helping others. It makes me feel useful,” comment- ed Heidi Clayborn. After the senior ceremony, the NHS members ventured to Schuler’s for a sand- wich and salad buffet. After the junior cere- mony, all members went to the Boardwalk Deli as a treat for their accomplishments. Ms. Magnus, advisor to this group, said, “I enjoy working with such a special group of young people.” THE. 1986 SENIOR MHS NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY members Front: Victoria Kiessling.

Involvement counts Student Council involved both students and teachers. This brought the faculty and student body closer together. To show their appreciation to the faculty for their participation, the members of Student Council set aside a special day for the teachers. The teachers' lounge was decorated and a cake was presented to them. Members also passed out carnations to all the teaching staff. Homecoming and Spirit Festival were two important events that involved Student Council members. They worked hard to make these events interesting for the entire student body. Teachers were in charge of certain aspects and advised committees. Committees were assigned to specific areas to make every element of the events special. Student Council members participated in the Student Leadership Forum. For two days they learned how to become better leaders. Lara Baremorand Sandi Overhiser were members on the Steering Committee. The Student Council members had a chance to acquire ideas from other schools. It is only fair that everyone is represented in Student Council ... the student body, teachers, and even parents. There were parent representatives at council meetings. This allowed parents to be aware of occurrences at the school. One must have the desire to make improvements. “Student Council gave me a chance to change things that needed to be changed, stated Senior Class president, Sandi Overhiser. The student body always relied on Student Council members to represent them well. “Being on Student Council kept me in touch with my class and the changes they wanted to see in our school,” reported Mark Costa, sophomore representative. Members were elected by their classmates because they had qualities which proved them to be good leaders. Student Council benefited the entire student body. The teacher-student relationship gained much from this organization. Both learned valuable experience which will assist in future decision making. FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS: Matt Ramon.

It is made up of members who have earned a varsity letter in any of their four years of high school. Mr. Arm- strong is the coordinator of this club and has been for many years. Each year there is an average of about fifty members. They can receive their letter from any sport. The students can earn points by working in the concession stand with Mr. Burns. If blessed with many points, they take an annual trip to Cedar Point at the end of the year. The M-Club is encouraged for students who are outstanding in their sport or who are involved in more than one athletic activ- ity. It is an honor to be a member of M- Club, because it shows dedication to one’s sport. It shows one can find a goal and achieve it successfully. Annette Tribby commented, “I think it is a lot of fun. You get to meet new people that you might not get to meet otherwise.” Lind- sey Redpath stated, “Being on the golf team, I meet other golf players, but being in the M-Club I can meet people from other sports. You can make longlasting friend- ships that way.” WHILE REDSKIN FANS arc cheering during the Sports Festival, M-Club students, Mike Carroll, Jenni- fer Albright, Julie Swarthout, and Sara Reichert await hungry spectators.

Ski those hills 66 s kiing is really easy, it’s fun, and I’m glad I joined,” Becky Bidwell commented. The new addition to the ex- tra-curricular activities was coached by Mr. Richard Hamilton and Mr. Geoff Moffat. “I enjoy skiing. It is something my whole family does. I wanted to give some others a chance to participate in a great winter sport,” Mr. Hamilton stated. He didn’t start skiing until five years ago and regrets not having had a chance to learn to ski when he was younger. The club was made up of 21 members plus the two advisers, of whom were begin- ners. They skied every Thursday through- out the ski season, from December to late February, including two Thursdays during the Christmas break. They used the Timber Ridge Resort located in Kalamazoo. There were two possible fees involved in becoming a member. A student was re- quired to pay $79.00 for the lift ticket, ski rental, and three lessons. If a member al- ready owned skis, the price was $59.00 which included a lift ticket and three les- sons. The club was for anyone with a desire to learn to ski. “Most people really improved their skiing throughout the year,” Hamilton said. Students had a chance to meet kids from other schools whose clubs skied on Thurs- day nights. They had a choice to compete against other schools. Two members who participated in the competitions were Jen- ny Moffat and Theresa Shockey. The cost was an extra $20.00. Both of the advisers, as well as the stu- dents, hope the club will continue in the future. “I’m glad I took this opportunity to learn to downhill ski. It was a lot of falling down, but overall I think the ski club was a success and will continue to be a success,” Krista Fhaner added.

Kris Wood and Scott Hudspeth are office assistants for Mr. Tom Reynolds’ fifth hour gym class. Photo by Bryndis Letzring Adding their skills . Students assist others Some call it forced labor, others an easy credit, but any way it is put, it is office assisting. Mrs. Doris Tay- lor, secretary to Mr. Ray Davis, commented, “Office assistants have be- come an important part of the school sys- tem.” There are over one hundred-seventy stu- dents participating in the elective course this year. Students receive zero to half a credit per semester for helping teachers and staff members. The amount of credit obtained is based on the student’s ability to work efficiently and effectively. The usual requirements are the ability to type, to be responsible and to be able to work well with others. The office assistants’ duties vary with the teacher for whom they are working. One might be asked to run errands, answer phones, or correct papers. Some jobs are much easier and students have free time to finish homework, read, or visit with a friend. Schara Field observed, “1 like not having homework for that hour. The only thing I dislike about it is when I intend to do my assignments that period, and then Mr. Roy has something for me to work on that day.” Teachers depend on the students to be honest, trustworthy, and respectable to- wards others. Teamwork between the teach- er and office assistants is important. Heidi Claybom, office assistant for Mrs. Taylor replied, “There is no real reward for being an office assistant except the good feeling of helping others.” Having office practice for an hour re- lieves a student from a hectic schedule. Those who participate as office assistants add their skills to the high school. 64 OFFICE ASSISTANTS Students and information come together . . . Library adds knowledge Throughout the school year, almost every member of the student body somehow makes contact with the library. The library, supervised by Mrs. Eleanor Houseman and her assistant Mrs. Jackie Meade, is a place where two things come together; students and information. Students stated in a questionnaire that they visit the library most to compile infor- mation on things such as book reports and term papers. They also gather facts and statistics for speeches. Many students walk in and out of the library during the day. However, Mrs. Hou- seman felt that the heaviest flow of traffic was during the lunch hours. Russ Madsen stated, “I meet in the li- FINDING THE FACTS, Mrs Jackie Meade and Mrs. Eleanor Houseman review reference material for the students. Both are very helpful and are always avail- able to assist eager learners.

Within the past two years the one-half inch video cassette recorder and the microfiche were purchased to enhance the library’s selection. Appreciation goes to Mrs. Houseman, Mrs. Meade and the students who serve as library aides. They keep every little thing in place and under control as they help to add to the knowledge of MHS.

FFA extends learning If the idea of the Marshall Future Farmers of America is one of farmers in bib overalls and dusty caps tending to their farm stock, then that is the wrong idea. The Marshall FFA prepares their members for the “real world. Students feel that the FFA computer is a big addition to expanding their knowledge. It can help in ag business management de- cisions. It is useful in giving current weath- er and farm news. It also connects the Mar- shall FFA into national headquarters. The computer helps members in difficult and timely judgements. The FFA is not just centered on farming. The members also have the opportunity to gain experience in leadership contests that are held at district, state, and national lev- els. This experience in leadership contests develops our local leaders. Marshall FFA’s officers are: President Tim Wise, Vice-President Howard Lam- pert, Secretary Craig Turner, Treasurer Joel Hounshell, Reporter Keith VanDor- sten, and Sentinal Mike Aden. The members receive recognition for their hard work by accumulating many awards. At the State Convention held at Michigan State University, they won the Outstanding Chapter Award. Also, they were awarded the runner-up position in the state award of Building Our American Communities (BOAC) and the Safety Award. They were recognized at the National Convention held in Kansas City, Missouri for being an outstanding chapter and for their community service. Bonnie Smith, member of the Marshall FFA for two years, described the club as an intracurricular extension of the class- room. For example, they have started a new campaign focusing on farm machinery safety. They held their yearly fruit and pe- can sales. They also took part in the Statue of Liberty fund drive that was held this year. For a change of pace, they hosted an “Anything Goes fun night with a nearby chapter. The Marshall FFA Chapter is an added dimension to the agriculture courses. The leadership and knowledge obtained help students acquire an understanding of the world of agriculture and the many careers that are included. INCHING TOWARDS THE FINISH LINE, some members of ihc Marshall FFA participate in the centi- pede race for “Anything Goes” fun night. Mike Lam- pert, Tim Wise, Todd Turner, Craig Turner, and Joel Hounshell went on to win the event.

Photo by Tom Isham FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Learning and growing Vo-ed is a way of life The phrase, “Vo-ed”, may not be familiar to most students, but to Vo-ed students, it is a way of life. When a student enrolls in one of the twenty-one programs available at Vo- ed, that decision will play a major role in that person’s career choice. Mr. Tony De Rose, Director of Guidance, commented, “For students who have interest in those career fields, it’s a great opportunity to gain the background and experience necessary for possible job placement.” For fourteen years, the Calhoun County Vocational Center in Battle Creek has been helping add up credits for juniors and se- niors, as well as teaching them some unique skills. There are two sessions offered at the Vo- ed center. The morning session enables stu- dents to gain a total of five credits. Howev- er, participation in the afternoon session al- lows students to acquire a total of six credits. When Wendy Michael was asked what she enjoyed most about the Vo-ed center, she stated, “I’m really happy to have met so many people from other schools. Most of them I’d never have known if I hadn’t at- tended Vo-ed.” Valerie Jordan replied, “Vo- ed is really great. Over there they make it fun and more interesting to learn. It’s a lot different than just taking classes here at MHS.” Out of the 1011 students that are en- rolled at Vo-ed, approximately 100 arc from MHS. Determining who attends Vo-ed from Marshall is handled in the same way each year. The number of applicants is compared to the Marshall quota. Almost every student is placed where he or she wishes to be. Howev- er, if a special case arises, they then refer to the applicant’s career background, previous attendance, and former grade point aver- age. Making new friends, expressing MHS pride throughout Calhoun County, learning about a more specific career field, and add- ing up credits, are all things that can be experienced by students at the Calhoun County Vocational Center.

Approximately 27 Marshall High School students participated in Junior Achieve- ment. This program allows youth the chance to experience many different as- pects of the business world. These may some day help in a major career choice. The name of the two companies were W.J.A.M., We’re Junior Achievement Manufacturers, and Moonrise Productions. W.J.A.M. was sponsored by Embossing Printers Inc., Arms Division. President Richard Wood, commented, “We were a young company, with many first year mem- bers, but, we weren’t losers. In my opinion, everyone in J.A. is a winner.” This proved to be true as this group of eager youth were able to produce and sell three different pro- ducts. They were: memo pads, flashlights, and electric cords. “I’m really glad I got involved in J.A. I’ve learned a lot,” re- marked Sherry Beck, junior. Moonrise Productions, was sponsored by State Farm Insurance. President Schara Field remarked, “This was a very success- ful year for all of us. Our company worked well as individuals and as a group. Being able to do this provided us with a lot of valuable experience and business knowl- edge. Both will be beneficial to us later on.” Moonrise Productions assembled a note holder which was made out of agate stone. The final gathering for achievers, par- ents, friends, and guests was the annual banquet, which took place at State Farm Insurance Agency. Community advisors, Mr. Bill Chappie, Ms. Mary Jane Harting, BOOKKEEPING IS RESPONSIBILITY in Junior Achievement.

Cash prizes and a pin were given to any achiever who belonged to a sales club. Achiever of the year is presented to the most outstanding achiever. Dan Kruger, of Moonrise Productions, was awarded this ti- tle. Dan also held the record for most sales, as he accumulated over $800 in sales. Officer of the year is awarded to the offi- cer who kept their books up-to-date and cor- rect, worked hard and assisted others in any way possible. Both Sherry Beck of W.J.A.M. and Stacie Trulock of Moonrise Productions shared this title. President of the year went to Schara Field, for her second consecutive year. This award is given on the basis of leadership skills, cooperation, assistance given both to other officers and company members. The Company of the Year title went to Moonrise Productions, which also had the winning billboard for the Marshall area, as well as all of South-Central Michigan. Perfect attendance awards went to sever- al achievers, Schara Field received an award for being actively involved in J.A. for four years. Sherry Beck, Schara Field, and Dan Kruger will represent Marshall J.A. this summer at the week long National Junior Achievement Conference held in Bloom- ington, Indiana. If business knowledge, experience, friendships, fun, a chance to earn some cash, and possibly have the career decision made easier sound appealing, consider join- ing Junior Achievement.

Carroll JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT 71 little Education is a nice word, basically innocent, with a touch of stern morality. Looking closer, howev- er, notice that the underlying basis for the word 'education' is necessity. Students have long been told that it was imperative to get a good education in order to further themselves in life. Some take this advise seriously, devoting long hours to study, while others take the easy way out and barely get by with an ‘D’. Sometimes, the intense pressure to ex- cel drives teens to extreme degrees of studying. Late-night cram sessions be- come more and more frequent as the year progresses. Now, more than ever, the young adult realizes that a good education not only advances job placement, but social standing. The most affluential people in our country are usually among the best edu- cated people in the world. Their contri- butions to society originate from their higher levels of education and their aca- demic achievements. In today’s economy, one’s job and life- style is determined by education. Those who do not take advantage of our educa- tional system and obtain inadequate schooling, slip into mediocrity. Those who extend their learning to its fullest capacity, reap society’s benefits. The old adage of the strong dominat- ing the weak is finished. Now, more than ever, the educated, not the strong, sur- vive.

Math is an important part of a high school education. A solid foundation for college acceptance is a four year cur- riculum of math at the high school level. Although math doesn’t get the recognition it deserves, some students look at math as a tedious requirement. Sopho- more geometry student Mike Wolf commented, “If I had my choice I would never have taken it, but I need it for col- lege.” A lot of emphasis was placed on honors classes and college preparation. Karen Clayborn, junior, enrolled in Algebra II honors because of an interest in an accounting career. “It’s a lot of hard work, but I think it’s goind to pay off in the future.” Adding up to the math de- partment were Mrs. Lorena Dickman, Mr. Tom Duffey, Mr. A1 Elyea, Mr. Larry Glynn, Mrs. Shirley Enaack, Mr. Ken Machata, Mr. John Malinowski, Ms. Carolyn Rieger, Mr. Dennis Smith, and Mr. Jerry Triece. The trend toward engineer- ing and the sciences has in- creased the number of stu- dents taking math classes. Students are thinking more about a future in math or in math related careers. “Sure, I hate math, but it has some uses. I’m glad I’ve taken four years,” observed Richard R. Drake III. Those who anticipate the opportunities in jobs, project a need for employees trained in the math fields. Ken Lee, senior MIA hon- ors’ student, felt that math is, “Preparation for college and a future career which may in- volve use of mathematical skills.” Good math students can put their skills to work in anything from industrial engineering to robotics.

Mrs. Kathryn Kinney assists Yvonne Mumaw with her assignment. Photo by Laura Day 76 ENGLISH Creating a world English class brings thoughts of research papers, grammar les- sons, written composi- tions, and speeches. Most stu- dents fear these tasks, but all things considered they aren’t really that horrible. Research papers require ef- fort in writing creatively, and skill in using library materials. Writing a research paper can be a hectic and time consuming job. However, when it’s all fin- ished students feel relieved. Despite views students may have on endless note taking and reading, the extra work which English entails helps prepare them for college classes and the “real world.” Giving speeches proves to be very beneficial for everyday life. The ability to speak well, mixed with a little hard work, helps students obtain their fu- ture goals. According to Mrs. Kathryn Kinney, fluency is the key to success. She said, “If you stay with something long enough, you get to see the outcome of what you have done.” Mrs. Kin- ney has seen the benefits of her teaching. Over the years she has taught hundreds of students. Some will insist that English is a joke and that people don’t need to read Hamlet or learn fancy vocabulary words. Read- ing all those classics helps to in- crease literary knowledge and expand horizons. Copying endless definitions and memorizing hundreds of words are necessary steps to in- creasing vocabulary. These words are complex and some- times completely unheard of, while others are already a part of a student’s everyday dia- logue. So, although students may struggle to memorize vocabu- lary and write creative papers, the results are highly beneficial. Reading is an ability that I truly enjoy. Since the times of ancient Phoenicians, reading has allowed mankind to grow mentally. Without it, we’d all be dressed in furs and painting bulls on cave walls. —Ed Rowand with words ENGLISH 77 PERFORM — Completing the elec- trolysis of water isn't too easy, but for two of Mr. Cairns’ “brighter advanced chemistry and physics students.

Photo by Bryndis Lctzring. Q: Is science a verb? Dissecting fetal pigs, experi- menting with explosive chemi- cals, and making wine are just a few of the things that a student could do while taking a science class. However, science really isn’t all fun and games. Change is a word which defi- nitely describes the science de- partment this year. The addi- tion of a new chemical room has been an exciting project for most of the science teachers. The new chemical room cost several thousand dollars, but will in the long run enact impor- tant safety precautions. All chemicals have been re- moved from the Science class- rooms, and new emergency signs have been posted through- out the science department. Also, many new fire extinguish- ers and blankets have been add- ed to the emergency supplies, and now everyone should feel safer. “The next step of our safety project is to train the science staff and students to use the new chemical room and safety devices,” said Mr. Richard Kel- ly, head of the science depart- ment. In addition to these changes, Mr. Kelly had Ms. Polly Mac- Donald from Albion College as a first semester student teacher. Some possible future changes in the science department may include two years of required science classes to graduate and the adding to or dropping of current courses. The science faculty currently consists of Mr. Richard Kelly, Mr. Harry Cairns, Mr. Dennis Smith, Mr. Aaron Davis, Mrs. Gloria Wheeler, and Mrs. Carol Edwards. Seven different science courses are offered at this time which include the following: earth science, modern science, biology, chemistry, physics, ad- vanced biology, and advanced chemistry physics. Also, var- ious independent study courses like microbiology are offered for students to explore other specialized areas of science. Overall, the science program looks to the future for progress with the awareness of safety as just a beginning. A; Yes-think, examine, do...

Photo by Bryndis Letzring 80 SOCIAL STUDIES Beyond the books ... 44 H istory is a sto- ry of man’s successes as well as of his failures. It is a cycle from which the future generations can learn,” explained history teach- er, Mr. Barney Roy. The goal of the history teach- ers, Mr. Roy, Mr. Richard Cronk, and Mr. Dick Hamilton, is to bring the ideas of the past to the future. To help students relate to his- tory, many of the teachers go beyond what is in the books for a better understanding. Pam Hamilton stated, “In Mr. Ham- ilton’s class we learn more than what’s in the books. He adds in- triguing, unknown facts that help us relate to the time period and we feel as if we’re actually in it. History classes also help students prepare for the govern- ment and economics courses taken in their senior year. The government teachers include Mr. Cronk, Mr. John Strough, and Mr. Phillip Wouri, who also teaches economics. In Mr. Cronk’s class the stu- dents learn about the way soci- ety operates through a game called “The New Community”. Their goal is to gain slices, which represent money, in order to live. Another key factor of the game is student involve- ment. Teachers enjoy it when students become really involved in a project. Gina Morey commented, “I think it's neat how Mr. Wouri gets so excited when someone asks a question because they don’t understand something.” The overall goal of the social studies teachers is quite evi- dent. Through examples of real life situations, they are bringing the past to the present. It is up to the students to take the past and learn from it, as well as to improve upon it. . .. into today 4 There is a strong correlation between history and economics. In history we learn about things like price freezes and rationing and in economics we learn about their cause and effect.

Some may question what links computer and studio classes together. The answer is that both classes involve cre- ativity of the minds and of the hands. The classes offered for studio include Studio I, Two-Di- mentional, Three-Dimensional, and Advanced Studios. Com- puter classes consist of Basic, Pascal, and Advanced Comput- er Programming.

Students in Studio I are ex- posed to a variety of materials and ideas. Then students may go into a specialized art area. Basic computer program- ming, taught by Mr. John Ma- linowski, is an introduction to the world of computers. Stu- dents learn how to write pro- grams that can process informa- tion, or even make pictures. In Pascal, students get a more structured look at com- puters. “There’s only one way of doing something in Pascal. So you’re either right or wrong, no in-betweens,” stated senior Jeff Larson. The advanced class is for those students serious about computers. Machine language is taught to these students who are mostly on their own. These classes, studio and computer, offer something dif- ferent for those students inter- ested in either right brain (art) or left brain (computer) activi- ties. A!

Photo by Sandi Overhiser HEALTH AND SOCIAL ISSUES Prepared for living Suicides occur most of- ten around the holidays. Eight ounces fill one cup. If you have one drink, you are 50 percent more likely to get in a car accident. These are just a few of the facts that one learns in health, social issues, and designs for living. Social issues and health are both one semester classes that all freshmen are required to take, but most of them don’t mind. “Social issues and health are classes that really make learning fun. Mr. Bums and Coach Hul- kow are great teachers and they will take extra time for anyone’s personal needs,” stated Michelle Patton. Mr. Brian Bums teaches so- cial issues and has been since its first year in 1981. This class teaches a student about himself as a person, how to deal with the problems in society, how to be open with himself, and with Mr. Bums. Every day the students in Mr. Bums’ classes write on a topic. By the end of this course each student has written approxi- mately 22 papers, and Mr. Bums has read over 2000 papers! Through these papers, Mr. Bums learns a lot about the stu- dents and the students learn a lot about themselves. Health, has also been a re- quired course since 1981. All freshmen take this class and learn things from just how im- portant it is to take a shower to the fatal effects of teenage drink- ing. “We are not preached at in any way, we simply learn some eye-opening facts about our physical selves and others around us,” said Eric La Fleur. Mr. Rich Hulkow has a minor in Health Education, so even though this is his first year of teaching health at Marshall High, he isn’t new to the class. Designs for living is another great way to prepare for the fu- ture. Mrs. Shirley Knaack teaches young females as well as males how to be ready for any- thing in life. Students learn, not only about cooking, but also how to sew, “run” a household, and what it takes to make it in the world today. This course is an elective and those who choose to take it find themselves much better prepared for life after high school. Together these three classes make the students ready for the big world. They can use these skills they have learned and the facts they realize about them- selves to their advantage. now and future 6 I’ve had all three classes. They really prepared me for living out on my own in a few years. They also make learning more fun!

Elvira, in Blithe Spirit.” Photo by Angie Proudfit Q: Caught the bug? Applause: That is what it’s all about. The per- formance bug is biting both the orchestra and drama students. Their yearning for au- dience contact and the desire to establish their artful skills have them performing at their best. The orchestra’s hard work, sweat filled practices, and ago- nizing effort produced positive results. Their ability to get the message within the music across to the adjucators has shown through. The stringers received a first division rating at District competition. Throughout the year, the or- chestra put on several concerts for their relatives and surround- ing community. Sharing the spotlight with the orchestra is the Marshall Theater Arts, alias the Drama Department. This department put on two fabulous shows. One was a musical and one a dramatic comedy. Selections were musi- cal, “Something’s Afoot,” and dramatic comedy, “Blithe Spir- it.” Students involved may audi- tion for parts or participate in the behind the scenes crew. These people may be of the In- troduction to Theater class or those who are not actually tak- ing the drama class. The hard working students spend many more hours than the one alloted hour per day. It requires dedication and com- mitment to spend these extra hours working on the actual productions and learning the drama tricks and techniques. The instructor of Introduc- tion to Theater, Ms. C. Lee Ral- ston, stated, “Students can benefit from the mere experi- ence of being on stage. It allows them to generate personal growth and a stronger respect for their own potential.” A: Applause!

Angie Proudfit and Kim Davis enjoy time to- gether while they decorate for the semi- formal sponsored by the vocal depart- ment. Photo by Sherry Beck Q: Neverending fun? On a hot summer day, two weeks into the school year, the Singers and the Ensemble be- gan their 1985-86 season of singing. They entertained ap- proximately 5,000 guests, who came to Marshall to view the historical homes during the Home Tour. They continued their work throughout the Christmas Sea- son, singing at Win Schuler's. The Singers were invited to sing ten nights of the final two weeks before Christmas. They hosted the annual Alumni Night with an invitation to the original Singers. Senior Mary Young- dahl commented, “Singing at Schuler's during the Christmas Season holds happy memories for everyone.” In late January, they began their practice on music to be performed at District Choral Festival and Solo and Ensemble Festival, which are held in the end of February. They received first division ratings, with the Women's Chorale and Singers Women qualified for State Solo and Ensemble. The major highlight of the year ws the semi-annual trip to Washington, D.C. Between the dates of April 26 and 30, the Marshall Vocal Department en- joyed a super week of tourism. They performed three concerts during the trip. They were host- ed by two churches, where they performed concerts in return. The third concert was for the tourists at the Washington Na- tional Catherdral. This choral tour provided more than just a chance to sing. They also visited Georgetown and D.C. where the ever popu- lar “Commander Salamander” store is located. “Being togeth- er, just hanging around George- town as an entire group made friendships stronger. It gave us a chance to do things together outside of performances, shares Ann Youngdahl. As they ended their tour, they enjoyed a sleepy thirteen hour trip home. Mr. Clissold then made it clear that he was both “ ... pleased and proud of the 85-86 Singers and Ensemble.” Senior Laura Day recalls of her very last D.C. trip, “Being to- gether for five days, most of the time crammed on a bus, brought us closer together than class and performances ever could.” The Pops Concert was held on May 22. Spaced in between the numbers, were fillers rang- ing from bag ladies to Olympic runners. The Singers performed at the Adult Graduation Banquet and the Baccalaureate for the se- niors. The Ensemble sang at the Adult Graduation Ceremony. All this ends the year... until August practices for Home Tour begin again.

Photo by Elinor Marsh 90 BAND ■■■■■■ BAND DIRECTOR Mr. David Conklin especially enjoys conducting. “During a performance I always have to be ready in case something strange happens. It certainly keeps me on my toes because anything could happen,” he stated. Photo by David Gushiken Q: Why make music? Togetherness is a word which definitely describes the band. Although band requires long hours of practice and many per- formances, the band members have a special friendship. “The best part about band is the closeness that we all share. It’s so much fun to march and take overnight trips together,” commented Eric Strader. This togetherness is neces- sary to make the band function as a whole. “The most important part about band is the self-discipline and dedication that is needed from every member,” remarked Cathy Haybach, drum major. “To be a good band member you must apply yourself and care about your performance,” agreed Andy Dryer. “One lazy member is a detriment to the entire band.” Band involves many different aspects throughout the year. Marching band begins the season and it seemed to be ev- eryone’s favorite part of band. “The marching band is my favorite because the music is fun to play, and marching lets the band show everyone what it can do,” said Susan Faulkner. Marching requires the most work from band members, but this year it paid off with a two rating at the District Level of Marching Band. The band per- formed at Sturgis High School against approximately fifteen other high schools. Jazz band is another exciting opportunity for many band members. The jazz band plays year round at various communi- ty events and during boys' varsi- ty basketball games. In February, the band began preparing for Solo and Ensem- ble, which involves a solo, duet, trio, or quartet to perform for a judge and receive a rating. “Preparation for Solo and Ensemble takes a lot of work with learning all the new music, while performing symphonic music too, but it can also be very rewarding,” remarked Da- vid Gushiken. Symphonic band finished the year with an array of perfor- mances that really challenged the band members. “The students worked very hard, and it paid off when we received a one rating at District Band Festival,” said Mr. Conk- lin. After this excellent accom- plishment, the parents of the band members threw a con- gratulations party for everyone. Finally, the band ended the year with a bang as they trav- eled to Lansing for an overnight stay at the Hilton. The next morning they performed at the State Band Festival and re- ceived a two rating. “The most exciting part of band was staying at the Hilton. We all had so much fun togeth- er!” commented Tyrie Wagner. “HEY YOU FANS in the stands, stand up and clap your hands!” yell some of the band members. Besides marching, the band also helps the cheerleaders root on the team. Photo by Tony Chara- meda A: Friendship BAND 91 4 IN THE GROOVE.

Knowledge and skills ob- tained through industrial arts’ “hands on” experience is an in- valuable educational tool. The students who pass through the doors of the industrial arts hall- way obtain experience that cre- ates a future full of opportunity. “These classes teach valuable skills that we can use the fu- ture,” commented senior Jack Wright. Class offerings can be grouped into three major areas. Agricultural science includes agricultural mechanics, ad- vanced soil and forest, ad- vanced agricultral mechanics, livestock science, and co-op. These classes can be directly as- sociated with the benefits and problems in running a farm. The co-op program is “on the job training” in an agricultural occupation. “The co-op,” ac- cording to Mr. Floyd Beneker, instructor, “is a co-operative ef- fort between the school and em- ployer to provide training.” The second variety of classes involves the use of woods and metals. Students have the op- portunity to learn about many tools and machines. Mr. Rich- ard Murphy’s classes empha- sized skill and safety. Through Woods I and II, and Metals I and II, students have the knowl- edge and ability to make many useful and intricate projects. “Industrial arts is an opportu- nity to show my creativity,” ob- served Leo Ambler, senior. Mr. John Strough offered classes in architecture for the beginner and advanced begin- ner, including drafting, Engi- neering I and II, and architec- tural drawing. The emphasis was placed on projection, with concern for line and design. Together these teachers used their skills to teach the builders of our future. Through education and experience, students can reach the sky. A bright and pro- ductive future rests in their hands. for the future 4 Industrial arts helps students work with other people and learn skills that can be used through- out their entire life. —Jack Wright INDUSTRIAL ARTS 93 READY, SET, TYPE!

For many, these classes pro- vide skills which allow students to enter the job market. For oth- ers, however, business classes allow better understanding of everyday finances, speaking and reasoning skills, and the ability to type a term paper. The growth of industry today means greater potential for business careers. Various courss can be taken by individuals who feel intrigued by the ever changing world of business. Business Law and Business Communications expanded the choices and opportunities when they were added. “These courses are very similar to histo- ry and English,” commented ju- nior Kim Rapp. In Business Law the discussions are based on the history of law, where the laws came from, and why they were made. Business Communi- cations deals with how to make a good presentation, both orally and written. The entire business curricu- lum not only helps those who desire a business career, but as- sists students with other career interests as well. One may learn how to type a resume, run a Xe- rox machine, or increase math skills. Teaching these classes is no easy task. The brave members of the business department are Mr. Ben Armstrong, Mr. Jess Engle, Ms. Christine Papes, and Ms. Carolyn Rieger, Business classes can help stu- dents prepare for the future, even if they don’t intend to ma- jor in business in college. Com- mon everyday skills can be ob- tained through these classes. A: Business!

Academics threaten When asking the question “What do you think of physical educa- tion? frequently a negative re- sponse was obtained. Many students dislike PE. Their reasons could be an aver- sion to sports in general, lack of confidence in personal physical ability, the “embarrassment of typical high school locker rooms, or pure and simple ... laziness. Physical education has been a required tradition. There were two years of PE required to graduate. This is slowly chang- ing to less PE and to more “col- lege-bound’’ credits. Most feel that if they’re go- ing to squeeze in four years of math, four years of English, and some foreign language; some- thing has to go. As of this year, the Board of Education made one PE credit a requirement. There is an em- phasis now for quality educa- tion in high school and aca- demic excellence. How do stu- dents do it all and still take PE? The Board members were evi- dently asking the same ques- tions when they passed this new guideline. Yet, the staff is concerned for the health of the students. Knowing courses are still of- fered in physical education doesn’t necessarily get the en- tire student body beyond their first year of PE. Coach Tom Reynolds summed it up best when he ex- plained, “I feel kind of bad. The students who really need it aren’t going to take it.” So the new PE credit rule is good for those who didn’t enjoy it, or feel they needed to fit oth- er course work in their sched- ules. But for those who like “getting physical,” it’s nice to know that there is a large vari- ety of physical education classes from which to choose. Most students feel that if they’re going to squeeze in four years of math, four years of English, and some foreign language; something has to go- 9 PE courses PHYSICAL EDUCATION 97 4 MENDOSE A CARC'AJADAS (Laugh- ing heartily), Mr. Haroff tells a Spanish joke.

Our world contains 168 independent contries, most of which have their own language. Obviously, some languages like Batak or Thonga are not used world- wide, as are Mandarian, Eng- lish, Spanish, and French. Because of increasing amounts of interaction among other countries, this nation has been put into a position where we have to communicate with people whose cultures are dif- ferent from those we are famil- iar with. We cannot continue to rely upon the notion that everyone BONJOLR LE MARIN! (Hi Sailor!) Laura Miller takes a casual attitude to- wards learning French. Photo by Bryn- dis Letzring we come into contact with speaks English; students should consider the possibility of learn- ing a second language while in high school. Marshall High School offers three foreign languages: Span- ish, taught by Mr. William Har- off; French, with Mrs. Ruth Berryhill; and Latin, taught by Ms. Kendra Magnus. Mr. Haroff spoke strongly on the topic of linguistics. “The justification for learning an- other language is world peace,” he stated firmly, “Only through language study can you under- stand why people think the way they do.” Students taking a foreign lan- guage learn to appreciate other nation’s feelings and points of views. In part, they are getting to know the people by learning their language. Perhaps if the different na- tions of the world could better understand each other’s prob- lems by direct communication, there would not be as much vio- lence and misunderstanding as there is today. A: Peace FOREIGN LANGUAGES 99 little Things in Once, parents said, “Look at those shoulders, dear! Our son’s going to grow up to be a football player!” and, “Oh! What grace. Our daughter was meant to be a ballerina.” Not anymore. In today’s athletics, men and women are not mechanically shut- tled into one sport just because they look the part of the stereo- typed player. Athletes of the '80’s only have their own mental and physical limits to determine what they can and cannot accomplish in high school sports programs. In the early ’50’s, most high schools had one or two boys’ sports programs. There were no girls’ sports. If a boy was not built like a foot- ball player, or didn’t have the height needed to be a basketball player, he wasn’t in sports. The closest a girl got to sports was either standing on the sidelines as a cheerleader, or in the stands as a fan. Now, girls’ sports events at- tract huge crowds. Often the stands are filled to capacity, and there are male and female cheer- leaders. Marshall’s aspiring athletes only have to worry about which sports to participate in out of the multitude offered each semester. Some ath- letes often participate in sports throughout the year. Teens are no longer stereotyped into what kind of athlete their par- ents think they will be; they are al- lowed and encouraged to choose whatever they can be. 100 SPORTS DIVIDER OFF AND RUNNING, Natalie Parrish receives the baton from Diane Weaver.

Uprooting the scoreboarcb s Throughout the Twin Valley, the Marshall Varsity football team re- ceived a great deal of respect. Many teams were surprised with the efforts and accomplishments of the squad. Ending up in a tie for Twin Valley championship with the Lakeview Spartans and construct- ing a 8-1 record, showed the strength of the team. Marshall did defeat Lakeview, but still remained in a tie for the Twin Valley title. Both Marshall and Lakeview lost one game. Be- cause of near perfect offensive and defensive efforts, Marshall won games against Vicksburg and Hills- dale by margins of forty and fifty- two points respectively. After Marshall’s dominating de- feat over Vicksburg, Marshall faced their most desired victory. Going into the game with Hastings the Redskins had winning, spirited outlooks. Starting with the kickoff, the gridders intimidated the Sax- ons with their winning attitudes. Marshall scored two very im- pressive touchdowns. With the ad- dition of John Laupp’s 51 yard field goal, which broke the Twin Valley record. Marshall displayed their dominance over the highly ranked Hasting Saxons. The Redskins then defeated La- keview with a shutout and easily coasted by Sturgis, Coldwatcr, and Harper Creek. Only once did Mar- shall end up with disappointment. This was against Albion. One point determined this game in which Marshall never gave up. Ending the season with a very deceiving but dignified win over Charlotte, Marshall left the season emotionally satisfied. Coach Jerry Triecc commented, “Defensively we played every game with emotion. We attacked the oth- er team with aggressiveness which caused numerous turnovers early in the season. Our starting defense only gave up three touchdowns the whole year. As a team, we gave up only 45 points for the season which amounts to five points a game.” Several players received recog- nition for having a sensational sea- son. They were; sophomore full- back Shane Durham, junior offen- sive guard Steve Katz, junior nose- guard Manuel Gonzales, senior kicker John Laupp. senior line- backer Steve Myers, and senior of- fensive and defensive tackle Kevin Hoffman. These players were mem- bers of the First Team All-Confer- ence. In addition offensive tackle John Oren, quarterback Todd Reynolds, defensive backs Phil Thcakcr and Dave VanderWeg, and punter and defensive back John Laupp com- piled the Marshall members of the All-Conference Second Team. Honorable mention team players included; defensive end Tom Blandford, defensive back Jim Laupp. and linebacker Andy Sny- der. Jim Laupp replied, “Coach Hul- kow told us when he came here he was going to work us hard, but the hard work paid off and we had a great season. That shows how good a head coach and staff we have at Marshall.” All this year’s additions and ex- tra efforts were rewarding to the players and coaches. Although the Redskins missed the play-offs this year, the team was young and should be top contenders for next year. If some players did not get special recognition, they all deserve it because of their efforts and atti- tudes. THE CRUSHER, Manuel Gonzalez, pulls down a Sturgis runner.

Pumping teammates up before games and supporting each other after them, demonstrated the rela- tionships that grew from months of hard work. The Twin Valley Championship was due to brilliant team perfor- mances by both offensive and de- fensive teams. The offense racked up an outstanding two-hundred and twenty-nine points, allowing only forty-eight points to be scored. “The game against Coldwater sticks out in my mind as the most exciting. Because of all the frustra- tion of hitting the opponents and feeling no advancement and ending the day with so many bruises, I will never forget that game. The extra effort finally paid off when we made our exciting second half comeback,” reminisced Chris Mann. The defensive squad also shut out their opponents five times.

Marshall also had a freshman football team. The squad compiled a 5-2-1 record, which also placed high in the Twin Valley competi- tion. The further the year pro- gressed, the better the team got. “Thanks to our dedicated work with the coaches and our willing- ness to work well as a team, our season was successful,” remarked Eric LaFleur. They came together and won their last few games with some razzmatazz. The freshman team outscored their opponents im- pressively. Eric LaFleur was Mar- shall’s leading rusher.

The team ended up with twelve wins and only two losses in the Twin Valley, but this was no great sur- prise to the experienced Varsity team. They entered the district tournament with great confidence. They defeated their first two oppo- nents, Lakeview and Harper Creek. Only Albion stood in their way of advancing to the Regional Tournament. Albion ended Marshall’s win- ning streak by beating the girls by only one point in their final game. Kristin Yakimow remarked. “Both teams played well, but Albion al- ways gets keyed up for us and they just came out on top.” During the banquet at the end of the season. Coach Stulberg gave out five awards. Kristin Yakimow. Cory Vandcnhcedc, and Janet Lau- tenslagcr received the “Miss Hus- tle awards, Grctchen Galloway earned the “Most Improved” award, and Dawn Durham received the “Most Valuable Player” award. In addition to the awards cere- mony, Coach Stulberg did some- thing unique this year. He collected slides throughout their season and presented an emotional slide show to the girls. It was a touching scene as all the players remembered many of their good times and hard work. It reminded the girls of the sum- mer practices. They came up to the high school three times a week and practiced basketball while many of their friends were out having fun. They remembered the two camps they attended preparing themselves for the seasons. They worked and learned the many skills that made them all better players. The slide show also brought back the memories of the beginning of the season and how they im- proved. They remembered the ex- citement they felt in the last game of the season againat Sturgis and how they won on a last second shot. They also remember the times off the court. Especially the night at Deannc Rocco’s house. After they finished watching movies at two o’clock in the morning, they toilet papered Coach Stulberg’s house. When the Coach accused the team of this prank, they blamed the varsity football team. This kept the girls free of punishment until the banquet when they confessed. After the show was over, a lot of emotion was felt and the team pride and comradery seemed to have been strengthened. Dawn Durham referred to the team as a “sort of family and all the girls felt the same.

This was definitely demonstrated by the girls’ JV basketball team. Basketball practice started last summer. The high school gym was open many days throughout the summer and most of the players took advan- tage of these opportunities. The members practiced at their own pace and worked on developing the many skills involved in bas- ketball. A camp was also sponsored last summer for the players by Coach John Walton. He worked with the girls for several hours each day for a week. The play- ers worked on all aspects of the game while meeting new friends. Though practices were hard, the girls managed to have fun.

Chris- tel Holbrook remarked, “Every- one on the team became good friends, and we learned how to play together as a team.” The team matured through- out the season and their quick- ness and hustle helped them win many games. Karen Lee added, “Probably the hardest thing about basketball is all the con- ditioning, but it proved to be a very important part of the team’s success.” The team ended the success- ful season with only five losses. Chris Pratt was given the “Miss Hustle” award and Karen Lee was awarded “Most Improved.” Although only two awards were given, many other girls on the team deserved awards. Coach John Walton said, “The girls really worked well to- gether and they all practiced hard. This was one of the as- pects that made the team so suc- cessful.” Chris Pratt felt that the team practiced hard and they pushed each other to work harder. This was important, along with the attitude and de- sire to win. i Our season was really fun. The team had a special closeness that led us into a successful season. Every win was a total team effort. } —Ann Youngdahl 108 GIRLS’ JV BASKETBALL SIDE STEPPING her opponent, Cris- tel Holbrook looks for an open pass.

It is a term used by the golfer in order to warn anyone in range of the flight of the ball. The golf team didn’t do much yelling this season, but the outlook for next year is a good one. Golf is an individual sport of concentration with a responsi- bility to a team. Pressure on the player involves an inner strug- gle with each shot. Tension mounts when a golfer must judge the shot, choose the right club, then execute and follow through correctly. Travis Churchill commented, “During a match you feel a lot of pres- sure because you're the only person from your team in the competing foursome.” Sportsmanship was stressed by Coach Tom Reynolds throughout the season. “During practices, Coach Reynolds helped us by encouraging us. He is a great coach,” quoted Tony Charamcda. At the beginning, the number one position was held by senior Todd Metzger. However, Metzger was unseated by up- and-coming junior Steve Town- send. Townsend remained there the rest of the season while Metzger shuffled between the other varsity positions. Each player is counted equal- ly and the lowest score is thrown out. The purpose is to create competition between players of similar abilities. Golf, like other sports, requires year round at- tention. During the summer months, the golfers practice putting, driving, and chipping over and over until each shot becomes automatic. Many hours are spent working on the “hazards” such as sandtraps, trees, and water holes. Inexperience plagued the young linksters as the team fell short in the Twin Valley. Over- all, their record was very good. In fact, the two awards, Most Valuable Player and Most Im- proved, presented at the fall banquet, went to sophomore Tony Charameda. Letter win- ners included Steve Townsend, Tony Charameda, Todd Metzger, Larry Goodwin, Pat Russell, and Kevin Brownell. With a summer of practicing and learning, next year’s team should show the improvements necessary for low scores and victories.

Drift to a nearby island and en- ter a cozy hut which has a warm fire and a television set. There is only one channel on the set and it is tuned to a tennis match. Picture playing in this match and using spectacular skills to be victorious. Visual effects, such as these, were used by the girls’ tennis members to help get them pumped up before a match. The girls, in their own minds, did ex- tremely well. Varsity members, as well as JV, improved their playing abilities and skills as a result of their success. Their record of 1-7 may not be one of their more successful seasons, but the hopes and spir- its of the girls were high. The team pulled off a few very suc- cessful matches, such as the one against Albion. Victory encour- aged the tennis team to fight on, and they did by coming in sec- ond at the Regionals. The girls continued to show determination and encourage- ment for each other. “Our team is real supportive of each other, whether we win or lose,” stated varsity player, Rockne Klein. The members gained a lot of enjoyment and pleasure out of playing tennis with their friends. At the beginning of the year, the girls did aerobics in order to strengthen their endur- ance. The team also practiced vigorously for two to two and a half hours a day, learning new techniques, and continuously improving their tennis skills. The girls were instructed by Coach Heidi Klein, former award winning Marshall High School tennis star. Heidi Klein enjoyed getting right in the middle of the girls’ workouts and playing tennis with them. Coach Klein was not only a coach, but also a friend. “This year was a building year and we lost more than we won, but with a coach like Heidi, it was hard to get down on ourselves. Hei- di’s the best,” stated Marla Overhiser. In order to determine who would be playing singles and doubles positions, playoffs had to be completed. By the end of the season, Rockne Klein held the No. 1 singles position, Marla Overhiser No. 2, Kristi Robinson No. 3, and Chieko Miyai held the No. 4 position. The doubles positions were held by Becky Josephson, and Jenny Grzeskowiak, No. 1; Beth Brockie and Karen Clayborn were the No. 2; Karie Katsare- las and Theresa Shockey held the No. 3 position; and Wendy Harwood and Natalia Kullman held the fourth position. All through the season the girls were evaluated on how much they improved and how well they played. Karie Katsar- elas received the Most Valuable Player and Theresa Shockey re- ceived the Most Improved Play- er awards. Coach Heidi Klein felt the success of the season was due to the teamwork of the girls and how much fun and enjoyable the girls made the season.

Photo by David Gu- shiken “Mar-shall Red-skins” were the words being chanted over and over before the girls’ swim meets. The chanting got the girls pumped up before the meets. The newly completed pool ac- counted for changed attitudes among the girls swimmers. Prac- tices seemed a luxury because no traveling between schools was in- volved. The team’s size grew and so did the skills and spirits of the team. The girls felt they did quite well with a record of 3-9. “We knew it was going to be tough as this year was a rebuilding year and we had many new freshmen swimmers join the team. Even though we lost many meets and won few, we were constantly encouraging each other on,” stated Susie Peck, team cap- tain. The girls’ hopes and spirits were constantly soaring because each meet against a school could be a victory. The girls almost doubled their score against Kalamazoo Hackett, winning 111 to 59. The victories against Albion and Jack- son encouraged the girls to push on. Coach Darrell Sims commented, “The girls’ team did much better than our record indicates. Drop- ping their times and improving their swimming abilities made a big difference,” Sims also said, “I liked making the girls' practices fun, and enjoyable.” The girls did practice for two to two and half hours a day. Occasionally, the girls had to get up at 5:30 in the morning for an early start workout. Along with the swim team is a diving squad which consisted of five girls. The top two divers were Kim Malinowski and Tina Hughes. “We will probably always re- member all the times we messed up a routine in one of our dives and smacked the water. But we were de- termined to get back on the board and try again,” stated Jenny Mus- ter. “Even though learning new dives is time consuming, the girls are eager to learn. Next year we arc looking for some state qualifiers,” added Mr. Jim Cipcic, diving coach. Only Stephanie Rowand quali- fied for State. She qualified in the 500 freestyle event with a time of 5:41.20. At State she finished 21st. Coach Sims felt, “Since there were so many close times this year with other girls, there should be many more girls going to State next year.” Rowand was also the award winner of the Most Valuable Swim- mer. Karla Vincent received the Most Improved Award. “Since this was a rebuilding year, we should easily exceed our record and do extremely well. The girls who are on the team are super to work with, and I have high hopes for our team,” remarked Coach Sims. f-� AN INWARD ONE AND A HALF is a difficult dive.

Senior Steve Funk's chances for state qualifications were cut short by pneumonia. This kept him from running in the league meet and ended his season pre- maturely. Overall, the team was inexpe- rienced and young. The youn- ger runners gained valuable ex- perience which should help them in the future. “It wasn't one of the best seasons a Mar- shall team has had, but Coach Roy did a fine job of bringing along the younger runners. The experience they gained should make them a strong team in years to come,” predicted Funk. The sport involves a lot of strenuous workouts and time. Only a runner who's dedicated survives the cross country sea- son. Every day the runners must cover from three to five miles each practice. Even though cross country is a demanding sport, it also pulls the team to- gether. As a result, strong feelings of friendship and togetherness de- velop among the team mem- bers. This was enforced by Coach Barney Roy. After a tough loss, he would get on the team a little bit, but instead of discouraging the team, it would make them stronger and more determined. This togetherness was shown when Andy Por- tinga, Steve Clark, and Steve Funk tied for first place against RUNNING THE WINNING MILE are Andy Portinga. Sieve Funk, and Sieve Clark. Consequently, all three lied for firsl place. Pholo by Eddie Wright Springfield at the home meet. A high point of the season was the league meet at Harper Creek. Everyone ran well, the girls ended up with a third place finish which boosted them into a third place tic for the Twin Valley, with junior Diane Weaver qualifying for state. The boys finished sixth place in the Twin Valley. Both teams finished third in the meet. A cross country runner’s commitment docs not end with the season, but continues throughout the year. During the summer the runners arc encour- aged to accumulate 500 miles. When school begins in the fall they are presented with a 500 Mile Club T-shirt. Even in the hottest weather runners can be found beating the pavement in order to belter their abilities.

Who leads the pep rallies and encourages the team to vic- tory? The cheerleaders and pon pom squads are responsible for all of this excitement. The varsity cheerleaders at- tended Grand Champion Camp last summer to further improve their cheerleading skills. Mar- shall was one of four squads chosen to attend this three day camp. They practiced eight hours a day and won awards in several categories. Some of the awards they re- ceived were in spirit, originality, skill, and entrances and exits. Lauri Hughes felt that the most important thing she learned at camp was how to work together with the rest of the squad. On their own time the cheer- leaders sponsored several dances, sold pins and balloons, and bought the traditional flow- ers for the varsity football team during homecoming. For the second year the high school mascot worked with the cheer- leaders during all home varsity football games. The freshman cheerleaders are an exciting new addition to the cheering squads. They suc- ceeded in raising the spirit of the crowd, as well as the play- ers, during each home freshmen football game. Heather John- son expressed, “The cheer- leaders gave the guys good spir- its and determination to win their games.” The pon pom squad also add- ed spirit to the football season. They worked hard on their rou- tines, performed during Home- coming half-time, and prepared for the upcoming basketball season. A large part of this year’s suc- cess was the cheerleaders’ con- fidence and ability to get the crowd involved in cheering. Yvonne Mumaw commented, “The crowd was more involved this year than in other years and this added to the excitement of the games.” The little improvements and additions to this year’s squads added up and proved to make this a rewarding cheering sea- son.

The shot was thrown after the buzzer, but because of the loudness of the crowd, the referees called the basket good. “They (the referees) make the call, and there is nothing you can do about it,” said Coach Tom Duffcy. The Redskins ended up losing that very important game in overtime. This game turned out to be the deciding factor in the Twin Valley standings. The varsity boys’ basketball team ended their season with an overall record of 16-6 and tied for second place in the Twin Val- ley with a conference record of 9-4.

Four out of the five seniors on the team were under the direc- tion of Coach Duffey for their fourth consecutive year. It real- ly made things a lot easier be- cause these guys knew what the coach wanted. The plays did not have to be taught time and time again. The team worked hard to pre- pare for the season during the summer. They attended team camp at Northwood Institute. They played three to four games a day for four days. The team also participated in ap- proximately two scrimmages a week all summer long. “I feel we all pulled together this year with everyone contrib- uting their part. It gave us a great season!” said Jim Laupp. This togetherness also occurred off the court. Before many of the important games, the play- ers had a dinner prepared for them by the parents. This gave the team a unity which helped a great deal out on the court. Two new rules were put into effect; only one jump ball per game, and the coaches must stay in their chairs except dur- ing time outs. Dave Peters said, “The jump ball rule is great be- cause it really picks up the speed of the game.” Every member of the team played an important role in the success of the season. Those who received special recogni- tion in the conference were as follows: Rich Lindsey was named to the First Team, and Jason DeVine and Todd Reyn- olds received Honorable Men- tion. At the year-end banquet, Rich Lindsey was named Most Valuable Player, Kevin Hoff- man received the Most Im- proved Player, and Jason De- Vine was honored with the free throw award.

FRESHMAN BASKETBALL BA! dication leads t Success, determination, and ex- citement are words that can be used to describe the junior varsity and freshmen basketball teams. The JV’s had a slow start by los- ing their first three games of the season. The team's spirits were low, but they continued to work hard. Scott Edinger commented, “We could have had a lot of people quit. Even though some didn’t play much, they didn’t complain and we worked real hard in practice.” The fourth game of the season proved to be an important turning point in the season. Marshall beat Harper Creek by 13 points. “Be- cause we stuck with it we won, and we all felt better and played bet- ter,” remarked Scott Edinger. After beating Harper Creek, the JV’s went on to win 13 of their next 17 games. John Pratt said, “Our team had a lot of fun, and we had a special unity.” Coach Rich Hulkow encouraged the team to practice hard. The JV’s practiced everyday after school for about two hours. They worked hard on game situations and did a lot of scrimmaging. Coach Hulkow com- mented, “1 think the most impor- tant thing to our team’s success was learning how to play together.” The JV’s faced Coldwater in their last game of the season. Cold- water had already beaten the Reds- kins earlier in the season and the game was expected to be a close, hard fought battle. But this predic- tion on the closeness of the game failed as the Redskins beat Cold- water by 9 points. Bruce Schroeder remarked, “They had beaten us earlier in the year, but we came to- gether well as a team and beat them by 9 points.” The freshman squad, coached by Phil Lasky, also had an impressive season. They only lost one game all season to Albion and were invited to compete in an invitational tour- nament. The Redskins won their first two games and made it to the finals. Marshall had to defeat their old ri- val Albion, who handed the Reds- kins their only loss, to win the tour- nament. The freshmen played a good game but ended up losing to Albion by 2 points. The Freshman had a commend- able season and two players were named to the All Tournament team. Eric Midlam and Brad Ben- nett received this honor. Although only two players were recognized, the whole team deserves credit for an excellent season. J.V.

The ball was set to Heather Eckert who hit the ball over the net for a point. Photo by Ann Young- dahl “We accomplished every- thing we set out to do,” com- mented varsity volleyball coach, Mr. John Morris. “I just wish that the season were a little longer because we had just started to click,” he continued. This year was Coach Morris’ first year as volleyball coach. The overall record was 4 wins and 25 losses for the lady spik- ers. “The season was full of a lot of comradery and team sup- port,” said co-captain Natalie Parrish. “When we were losing we still were hanging in their and were still giving it our all,” said Jack- ie Varner. The way the team pulled together was what made the season a success to the girls on the team. They knew that they gave it their best shot and so losing wasn’t rough on them. The team also did other things together. One night the girls and their coach went to Poco Loco just to have fun with each other. There was also a new JV vol- leyball coach, Lori Llewellyn. Lori added many new ideas to the volleyball program. The thing that the players remem- ber the most was Lori’s motiva- tion speech. Every night before a game the girls would huddle and while they hummed to the tune “Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glo- ry” Lori would tell them to do their best, give it their all, and to have fun doing it. “I thought it gave the team a sense of uni- ty,” said Sandy Fabiszak, a sophomore player. It was a difficult year with the new coaches, but the girls felt that both of the coaches were very patient with them. The girls also felt that they learned more than the game of volleyball, but also the skills that would help them to become better players. The JV team had a very posi- tive attitude. “It all started when we won our first game,” said Sandy. The girls would fight to finish; digging and scrapping for the ball. The varsity team members voted Natalie Parrish as the Most Valuable Player, and Pen- ny Shaw as the Most Improved Player. Along with these awards, Natalie was named to the second team Twin Valley and Mary Youngdahl and Heidi Albrecht received honorable mention. Winning was not everything to the volleyball teams. Team unity, team spirit, and pride were what made the season suc- cessful. Also many new friend- ships were made that will be special to the girls. VARSITY VOI.LEYBALI.

Along with the coach, many swimmers agreed that the team was spirited and worked well as a whole. Having their own pool to use whenever they needed it was a big plus. A spe- cial addition showed the teams' spirit. Mohawks and crewcuts shared their spirit with the rest of the school. Hopefully, they served to intimidate the opposi- tion. Many of the swimmers had a chance to compete in post-sea- son competition. John Ruesch, diver, went to districts and re- gionals. Ruesch, a sophomore, came on strong at the end of the season. Two of the seniors, Ed Rowand and Eric Flynn, earned a trip to the state meet. Rowand specialized in both the 200 and 500 yards freestyle races. On the other hand, Flynn was exceptional in the breast- stroke. Both seniors showed positive leadership and sports- manship. These three swimmers were voted Co-Most Valuable be- cause of their extra efforts in practices and meets and their outstanding accomplishments. The young team improved a lot this year, thanks to juniors Dave Gushiken and Dan Clark, and sophomores Dave Trine and Ruesch. Dan Clark, main but- terflyer, showed leadership. Dave Gushiken’s improvement was due to his positive attitude and extra efforts after practice. Gushiken was the main back- stroker. Sophomore Dave Trine stood out as a sprinter and soon earned his spot as the main sprinter. “I thought the biggest help this year was our positive atti- tudes,” added Tony Bcdwell. This positive team attitude helped construct the 5-7 record. A sixth place finish in the con- ference was satisfying to the coach and swimmers. All the swimmers put their share into it by pushing each other to their potentials. BANC! The swimmers are off to a fair start. Tony Bedwell and Eric Flynn get a great start, finish the race strong, and feel good about it.

Machek also earned the title of Twin Valley Champ. Photo by Brian Jendryka “Accomplished more than I had ever dreamed we would,” was the comment of Coach Gary Gilbert. Gilbert also specified other points that he felt contributed to the win- ning season. The hard dedicated work in practices paid off in the last few minutes of a match. Wrestling those six, full, hard minutes won many matches that might not have been won. Wrestling brings out a different type of dedication. Drastically diet- ing for days to make a certain weight, practicing on those empty stomachs, and just being in such a situation alone shows a dedication that is very silent. Down the road this intense dedication pays off when one of the grapplers places in a tournament or wins an individual match. Finishing the year with an 11-6 record and climbing up the Twin Valley standings to a third place ranking, was a dream season to the coaches and most importantly, to the grapplers. Only having four home matches this year could have affected the outcome of two heart- breaking losses. Losing to Vicksburg 25-24 was upsetting. But when Harper Creek, Twin Valley rivals, won by a very small margin of 33-31, the squad was very disappointed. The dual against Coldwater was one of the most exciting matches of the year. Just before the match. Coach Gil- bert called the squad into the team- room for a pep talk. Along with the talk, new uniforms were a flash needed to ignite their bodies. The momentum was greatly in favor of Marshall early, 17-2. The momen- tum was enough to carry through the climatic matches in the upper weights, which clinched the 42-46 victory. Leaders, aggressive accomplish- ers, and willing followers compiled the varsity squad. Two of the big leaders were seniors Greg Machek and Kent Elliott. Machek (30-4) finished his four year wrestling ca- reer voted Co-Most Valuable and had the quickest pin. Machek placed impressively high in the all- time list of top competitors. Elliott was also successful, (18- 9). Injuries hurt his outcome. When he was without his injuries, he was nearly unstoppable. Steve Tobias (30-7) and Mike Stockcl (18-15) were the two ju- niors who accomplished much throughout the season. Tobias was voted Co-Most Valuable and was a leader on the team. Stockel was an aggressive wrestler. Over-aggres- siveness got him in trouble a few times, but he ended up on top the majority of the time. Tom Blandford was the most successful wrestler as a sophomore. Tony Charamcda, Doug Shreve, Shawn Woods, Kent Smock, Jamie Stadtfeld, Shane Durham, and Eric Lapham compiled the major- ity of the young team. These wres- tlers deserve a lot of credit. They stepped in at the varsity level and competed exceptionally well. The most successful were Tom Blandford (28-12) and Tony Chara- meda (18-8). A special addition to the squad this year was freshman, Eric LaFleur. As a freshman, La- Fleur (17-14) produced one of Mar- shall’s best records in the first year of wrestling. Under some shadows of the var- sity, but certainly shining through, was the JV wrestling team. At many wrestling tournaments, sev- eral individuals showed their abili- ties and brought Marshall many metals. Rick Doody, Tyson Strand, Craig Meza, Mark Monk, and Ben Rewa were among the standouts. All the JV wrestlers were young and were allowed to get as much of the helpful experience as possible. i VARSITY WRESTLING TEAM Front Doug Shrcvc, Tony Charameda.

Photo by Brian Jen- dry ka There is a unique display of excitement and spirit at any sport event. The one thing that adds to the excitement at the boy’s basketball games is the spirit of the cheerleaders. “We are very close. We get along well and have fun togeth- er,” said senior Lauri Hughes. Not only did they have fun while practicing routines, they even played “Red Rover” dur- ing a practice. The cheerleaders always wore their uniforms to school on the day of a game. One day Joan Libbrecht, sophomore, didn’t know that the game had been cancelled and wore her uniform to school. She won- dered why everyone else was not wearing uniforms. “I was so embarrassed,” Joan said. The pon pom squad per- formed several routines. “My favorite routine was the ‘Mexi- can routine’,” said Teresa Mar- tinez, senior “It was really fun,” she continued. So many girls went out for cheerleading that a freshman team was organized. “Cheer- leading is a fun sport and I had a good time. I went out because I like to get rowdy during a game,” said Heather Hoffman. Three new coaches were add- ed. Cece Wydendorf, the varsi- ty coach, was joined by Tammy Trylick, the freshman coach; Martha Yonkers, the JV coach; and Lisa Barnes, the Pon Pom coach. With the addition of these coaches, the squads were able to learn more about cheer- leading. The cheerleaders helped to get the athletes “pepped up” be- fore the Lakeview game by hav- ing a Pep assembly. Every squad did a routine, but the var- sity squad’s routine was differ- ent. They made up a chant for each player on the varsity bas- ketball team and acted them out for the students. The cheerleaders helped to cheer on the teams to many vic- tories. Tammy Brownell, senior, said, “It was fun, because the whole school had so much spir- it ” FRESHMAN CHEERLEADING SQUAD; Front: Annette McDonagh; Second: Lara Hartman; Third: Lynda Mitchell, Heather Hoffman, Mindi Al- len; Back: Sarah Slater Missing: Coach Tammy Trylick.

How- ever, teams in the Twin Valley had the same common goal; to unseat the returning champi- ons. “The team is a bunch of indi- viduals who do their own thing to make a strong team, was John Orcn's feeling about this squad. “The individual players worked well together and helped each other in any way they could, he continued.

Team comradery was an im- portant part of the success of the track team, but the individ- uals are equally important. Ke- vin Hoffman, senior, comment- ed, “It is a sport where it is you against everyone else, and if you mess up its your own fault. One tradition the team con- tinued was to give “The Top Warrior Award after each meet. It is an award given to the individual who did particularly well or put out extra effort in an event. Since only one individual could receive the award after each meet, it is a highly sought after award. The success of this squad was not all due to fun. They also worked every day after school for two hours, practicing their events and getting themselves in shape. John Oren remarked, “We try to work as hard as we can in each practice because if we don't, we are only hurting ourselves. Although the team didn’t re- capture the Twin Valley title, they did manage to have an ex- cellent season and learned a lot about working together as a team. 10 S® 0F The thing I liked most about track was the chance for me to test my abilities against others.} Mike Salyers 132 BOYS TRACK EXPRESSION ON JOHN OREVS FACE shows how he puts all his effort into his throw.

SHOT PUTTING is a great strength to the Marshall track team. Dawn Dur- ham’s personal best is 32'6 . Running up the scores Enthusiasm was bubbling from the first day of practice. “This was the hardest bunch of workers I have ever worked with,” stated Assistant Coach Harry Sykora. The practices started long be- fore the meets and every girl was fired up. Each track mem- ber pushed and encouraged the others. All of this ebullience re- sulted in an extraordinary sea- son. The track team started off on a great note. They defeated their first five opponents. The team then encountered a turn- ing point. It was going to be their tough- est meet so far. Every girl knew she had to perform to perfection if the team was going to win. Things were going well, Mar- shall was ahead of Albion and only a few points behind Hills- dale. The team left Albion with their heads low because all of their efforts left them losing to Hillsdale by two points. Coach Dorosh and Coach Sy- kora were upset, but not un- happy. On the bus they said, “You all should have beat them because you are better than they are.” The coaches were right ... The two of them re- checked the scores and noticed that the officials had recorded Heidi Lowman as placing third in the 100 yard dash against Hillsdale. Heidi had placed first. It was difficult for the team to overcome this letdown, none- theless, they picked themselves back up and went on to win three of the last four meets. Many members were suc- cessful, Sara Reichert broke the school record in the 440 yard dash. Personal bests were great- ly increased by most every per- son. The field events always racked up a lot of points. Lisa Mitchell was the number one long jumper with a personal ways came through in the shot put and Heidi Albrecht quali- fied for state in the discus. Relay teams really sped by the competition. The mile relay team consisted of Natalie Par- rish, Michelle Beebe, Susie Peck, and Reichert. They quali- fied for state, as did the two mile relay team members of Diane Weaver, Parrish, Peck, and Reichert. In fact, the two mile team took first place at re- gional. The season ended with the mile and two mile relay team going to state and Heidi Al- brecht also qualifying. Al- though none of these members received medals, it was an hon- or to be good enough to compete at the state level. A banquet was held in honor of the track team at the Par- rish’s house. Susie Peck was named Most Improved. Heidi Lowman and Sarah Reichert shared the Most Valuable Award, and The Most Valuable Senior was Natalie Parrish.

The girls had an outstanding performance at all five league jamborees. The jamborees in- cluded participation of eight league teams. The ’Skins pulled off five consecutive wins to win all of the jamborees. Senior golfer Tina Mann said, “It is a challenging sport in which you can improve individ- ually, while also competing as a team.” Mann, Susie Mathieu, and Lindsey Redpath are all se- niors who have competed for four years. Along with the success the girls had at the jamborees, they also dominated many invita- tional. They received sixth at Harper Creek’s, fourth at Kala- mazoo Central’s, and also fourth at Marshall’s Sport Fes- tival. The golfers captured the title of Twin Valley Champs. The team was lead by Susie Math- ieu and Tina Mann. Mathieu, Mann, Karen Clayborn, and Tyrie Wagner were named “All Conference” as well. The girls ended the season with a banquet at Marshall’s Country Club. This was a spe- cial banquet for the girls be- cause they had a father-daugh- ter tournament before hand. The tournament began with both father and daughter teeing off. Then they played alternate shots. After the tournament was over,Karen Clayborn and her father were the champions with a score of 45. They were fol- lowed closely by Tina Mann and her father with a score of 47. They also had contests for longest drive, won by freshman Andrea Stockel, and closest to the hole, won by Susie Mathieu. At the banquet the girls re- ceived awards and letters. Let- ter winners were Tyrie Wagner, Tina Mann, Susie Mathieu, Ka- ren Clayborn, Lindsey Red- path, and Kristi Flynn. The Most Improved Player Award went to Karen Clayborn, Susie Mathieu was named the Most Valuable Player. Although none of the girls plan to compete on a college level, they know that they will enjoy playing golf on weekends for many years. “Playing for Marshall High School was a lot of fun and a great honor. I will always re- member all the fun times we had together as a team.” Mr. Hamilton was one of the great- est coaches to play for,” con- cluded Tina Mann. GREAT FORM is displayed by Karen Clayborn as she tecs off. Clayborn played as Marshall’s number four golf- er. Photo by Brian Jcndryka „0?

The guys worked hard, but lacked one necessary ingredient — experi- ence. The team had no seniors so it was left up to the juniors to lead the team. The boys’ tennis team is not actually an accurate title for the squad because there is one ex- ception, Kristin Yakimow. She is the only female tennis player on the boys’ team. She was al- lowed to play on the team be- cause of a conflict for her dur- ing the regular fall girls’ tennis season. Because of this excep- tion, Kristin Yakimow is al- lowed to display her talents in both basketball and tennis. The team did much to im- prove their morale and keep each other excited before each match. For away matches, the team traveled in a van. They still expressed their enthusiasm by doing a lot of yelling and even warmed up by tossing pa- per wads back and forth. The team also had a more se- rious side. Every day after school for two hours the team practiced. They usually scrim- maged against each other. Coach Paul Rauth also took time to show the players a few new techniques and fine points of the game. One tradition the team had was to celebrate after each match. This usually involved making a trip to the nearest Burger King and getting some- thing to eat. Scott Gindlesberger com- mented. “The thing I like most about tennis is the chance to meet other guys from other schools.” Along with meeting other guys the team also had a lot of fun. Pat Russell men- tioned his most memorable mo- ment, “When we left Hillsdale after an away match and left Andy Walton behind.” Overall, the boys' tennis team statistically did not have a very good season. The guys had fun and learned a lot about sports- manship and the techniques in- volved in tennis. For this reason, along with the chance to get in- volved and make new friends, the team had a successful sea- son. — «% . i • This year was a real build- ing block for us.

Photo by Laura Day Swinging Through _________________ jh Each Victory Excellent playing was a dominant characteristic of the varsity baseball team. The squad excelled to combine for a record of 15-10 overall and 8-6 in the Twin Valley. The Redskins were feared throughout the league, be- cause of their hitting and rally starting ability. All through the line-up were consistent hit- ters. Jim Laupp, Todd Reyn- olds, Andy Snyder, and Shane Durham were outstanding batters. The ’Skins also had the ability to steal bases with ease. John Laupp and Jason DeVine were the quickest on the team. The ’Skins were a very ex- citing team to watch. The team came from behind many times in the late innings. Being 8-6 in the Twin Valley and mostly victorious, wasn’t as easy as it sounds. Against Harper Creek the ’Skins were behind 11-2 in the bottom of the seventh inning. When the 'Skins came to the plate, a spark ignited their flame. Powerful and smart hitting came just in time. The 'Skins rallied to score 10 runs and re- ceive a win over the Beavers. “It sure is nice when you can come through in the end and win these kinds of games,” Coach Tricce stated. Even though the offensive batting was talked about the most, the batting actually backed up the pitching. Wes Damron, Kevin Belcher, Shane Durham, Steve Myers, John Pratt, and Jason DeVine were the hurlers for the team. Wes Damron pitched a one hitter early in the season that impressed Coach Tricce and surprised the opponents. Kevin Belcher and Shane Durham excelled in the relief category. Ace pitcher, Kevin Belcher, commented, “We had talent and effort, it was in the cards for us to excel.” “Kevin did a good job in re- lief, he did real well,” Triece said. “Shane did a heck of a job in relief, also. He just pitched his best every game.” “Our pitching was the best this year that it’s been in the past five years,” bragged Coach Triece. “I felt that Coach Triece was an important asset to the team's effort,” Jason DeVine stated. “Our togetherness was not only helpful, but fun, too. We had a great time,” added Shane Durham. 6 ar $ “This was the year of two seasons. We excelled in our first 11 games, but we didn’t live up to our expec- tations in the final games.” J Phil Theaker BESIDES BEING ONE of the best hit- ters.

Tough defense, strong bats and lightning fast speed helped the Junior Varsity team to an impressive season. Competitive attitudes among the players im- proved them throughout the year. Defense was a strong point on the J.V. team. Errors plagued them early, but they improved steadily. “We played defense like we should be playing it, stated Coach Hulkow. “It makes a big difference when you can give your pitchers some support, added Hulkow.

Offensively, the ’Skins were consistent hitters. If the ’Skins got on base, the opposing catch- er had a day’s work of throwing ahead of him. The J.V. team re- corded over 100 stolen bases. Getting on base wasn’t a prob- lem either. “We got the base hits when we needed them,” claimed Hulkow, “and when we get rolling, we can apply a lot of pressure with our offensive strategy,” he continued. “Pitching was the strongest characteristic of the team. Sean Hills, Scott Hudspeth, Lance Elyea, John Ruesch, and Matt Davis made up the quintet of hurlers. “Sean did an excellent job on the mound, John pitched a strong ballgame for us, and Scott did a real nice job and had a lot of control, were all com- ments made by Coach Hulkow. A special addition to the baseball program is the fresh- man baseball team. In its sec- ond year, the program has helped tremendously. The freshman team fought their way to an impressive record. Mr. John Ramos coached this squad of players excellently. “The team was a joy to work for, they followed my instructions and improved a whole lot,” commented a satisfied Coach Ramos.

Coach Wise was proud of his girls, who ended up third in the Twin Valley. “I think the team had exceptional talent,” Wise said. “I feel that this was the best team ever,” he added. Mental preparation was the one thing Wise felt this team lacked. “The ability was there, but we needed to come to the games feeling that we could win.” Coach Wise was named Coach of the Year in the Mar- shall district. He has been head coach for only three years and founded the softball program. Teresa Koch and Missy Kedo were named “All Twin Valley.” Melissa Johnston and Louri Woods received honorable men- tion. Johnston and Koch earned “All Conference” recognition and Missy Kedo received hon- orable mention. JV Coach Linda Redman also had reason to be pleased with her team. “We have come a long way this season. Many of the girls were playing fast pitch for the first time,” she stated. The girls were close. They did many things together both on and off the field. They went to Poco Loco, had pizza parties, and a hotdog cookout. “I think one reason we played so well to- gether is because we felt like a family,” said freshman Nikki Hollister. The JV team had trouble with injuries. Jenny Merritt sat out because of a head injury, Kelly Byam sat out due to a knee injury, and Sarah Schmidt, the starting catcher, broke her finger during the Al- bion game. Even though the girls had barely enough girls to play, the season picked up and they finished with almost a 500 season. The season may have started out slowly for the girls, but they picked up speed and ended the season with a positive feeling and many positive memories.

Photo by Conway Studios SOFTBALL UttleThings in Teachers and students came together for a great year. The teachers became in- volved in the students’ problems and outside interests, and the stu- dents learned to know the teachers as people. Special friendships developed. When asked about their friendship with Ms. Kendra Magnus, English teacher, Mary Lou Knaack and Susie Mathieu agreed, “She is a good friend. She is much more than a teacher.” To show gratitude to the teach- ers, the students organized a “Teacher Appreciation Day.” Al- though this was the first time they actually named a day for the ap- preciation of teachers, students show their gratitude in many other ways. Mr. Larry Glynn’s fifth hour math students threw a birthday party for him. The students bought a cake and took him into the cafete- ria, where his surprise party took place. In return, the teachers planned a “Student Appreciation Day.” This took place on May 22, which was established as Education Day dur- ing Michigan Week. A breakfast was planned for all students who made the honor roll for two out of the first three quarters. This event, initiated by the Parent Council and served by teachers, took place at 7:15 a.m. The turn out was not tremen- dous compared to the number of students who were eligible, but for a first-time event, the teachers and parents were not disappointed.

They quickly adjusted to the new routine of being upperclassmen and were ready for the exciting week of homecoming. They pulled together and worked as a team which contributed to their success of winning second place in the over-all events. They worked on their display at Mike Flynn’s barn every day after school with Mr. Ben Armstrong to help lead the way to a good finish. Their display was an enormous juke box with several musi- cal titles from different eras. They finished first in several events and challenged the seniors. Yet, home- coming was not only a time for events, it was also a time for selecting two students to represent each class. The juniors chose Lara Baramor as their attendant and Ken Krum to escort her. When the football game finally ar- rived, the total excitement gave them a rewarding and memorable experience. “It was like being Cinderella for a night. It was very special,” remarked Lara. The juniors chose, in the first month of school, the class officers for 1985-86: president, Lara Baramor; vice president, Eric Preston Kilbourn; secretary treasurer Jenny Myers; and representa- tives Jackie Ramos and Kristen Yaki- mow. All in all, the juniors pulled together on many activities and set good exam- ples for the underclassmen. THE MEXICAN CONNECTION: Victor Barroso.

This test involved testing Eng- lish and math skills. It was a practice test given to those college-bound students who wanted to prepare for the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). It is an evaluation of how well students can do college work and how well students do in comparison with oth- er applicants. Even though the test costs $6.50 and students were not required to take it, there was a large turnout of students in the gymnasium. The test was taken on a rainy Saturday morning and there was only a ten minute break in the two hour testing, none the less, students were will- gather knowledge ing to take time out of their weekend for this preparatory test. Although no awards or honors were given and the scores weren’t released to the public, several people were recog- nized by their class members for doing exceptionally well. Among the few who received high percentile grades were: Eric Preston Kilbourn, 99%; Cory Van- denHeede, 99%, Earl Gay, 97%; Steve Hoeltzel, 99% and Marc Mikesell, 97%. “I was surprised that I received those scores,” replied Marc Mikesell. Overall, this test, by the National Merit Corporation, helped the students in understanding their competition, as- sessing their verbal and math skills, and preparing for the SAT. ON A SATURDAY MORNING, Alison McKeever and Sarah Schmidt get ready to lake the PSAT. Many juniors art starting to prepare for their “after-graduation” plans.

Only twelve juniors were selected to at- tend the TAG Conference on February 19 and 20. Participants were Jennifer Albright, Lisa Baker, Lara Barcmor, Kristi Bucken- berger, Kevin Davis, Neisha Dickman, Pam Hamilton, Becky Josephson, Eric P. Kil- bourn, Alisa Walters, Kristen Yakimow, and Cory VandenHeede. The TAG Conference gives students an op- portunity to interact with kids from other schools outside of the normal classroom envi- ronment. It was held at Battle Creek Central High School and was centered around com- munication skills and techniques. Students had the chance to discuss current issues and career decisions in large groups. They learned to work together and most im- portantly, talk and listen to others. Another one of the beneficial opportuni- ties given to juniors is to become a Junior Rotarian. The Rotarians were carefully se- lected to properly represent the school in the community. The teachers made a master list which was narrowed by the counselors. The final twelve were selected by the Rotary Club. The new members included: Tim Wil- liams, Lara Baremor, Tyler Mathews, Becky Josephson, Steve Hoeltzel, Kristin Spears, Mark Plummer, Cory VandenHeede, Eric Strader, Kristen Yakimow, Steve Tobias, and Julie Weiss.

They eagerly partici- pated in the homecoming activities, which added up to a close race for second. “We got first in the football push. I felt kinda stupid pushing it with my face, but I had a lot of fun,” commented Nichole Zasucha. They worked on their display at Elinor Marsh’s house and were sponsored by Mrs. Edwards and Ms. Papes. “They were a fun group to work with,” replied Ms. Papes. Their display was a huge jam box accented by an electrical axe chopping down a Coldwater Cardinal. This me- chanical feature was designed by Eric Benedict. The class of ’88 selected Diana Hughes as their attendant and Bill Morey to escort her. They represented their class through- out the week of homecoming and at the football game and dance. “1 had a great time. I wish I could do it all again,” com- mented Diana Hughes. The sophomores topped off the week with a third place finish, which contributed greatly to the spirit of homecoming. The sophomores also selected as class officers: president, Marla Overhiser; vice president, Jenny LaBonte; secretary trea- surer, Ann Youngdahl; representatives, Cindy Rexrode and Sara Reichert. These class officers contributed to the success of the Sophomore Class by attending build- ing council meetings and making deci- sions throughout the entire year.

This attitude helped people realize that there is more to health then not having a cold. Being healthy gives people a good feeling. It helps one to enjoy activities and creates a greater feeling about life and personal well-being. A few of the basic rules required for good health are: eating good food, exercis- ing regularly, living safely, staying clean, getting enough fresh air, and most impor- tantly keeping a positive attitude toward yourself and others. A popular form of fitness that many students use to keep in shape is aerobics. Aerobics allow people to enjoy exercising while toning their bodies and increasing their cardio-vascular system. It doesn’t re- quire a club membership or even good skill and agility. Ms. Christy Papes, who teaches an after school aerobics session said, “It’s a nice way to unwind after the day. I look forward to it.” Combining exercise and music has proved an effective way for people of all ages to stay fit. It has become part of many high school gym courses and has created a greater feeling toward looking and feeling good. More and more people are taking the first steps for health and fitness. The effect of this new attitude is creating a better outlook toward life.

Operating the conces- sion stand requires responsibility, but can be a lot of fun. The students are guided by the volun- teer assistance of Mr. Brian Burns. He is known for saying, “If you steal anything, you can go home with the other team.” For the most part, the students who work at the concession stand are trustworthy. The concession stand is appreciated by the people who come to watch football. Where else could they go for that cup of hot chocolate during the cold games? It takes sacrifice and commitment from the students. Once students get involved with it, they basically work at it all season. Sometimes it is tempting not to be watch- ing the game. During half-time is when the concession stand gets the most business. “There is never an end to the continuous flow of customers. Much preparation goes into filling trays with pop-filled cups and forti- fying bags of sought after popcorn, as hungry Redskin fans push to the front of the lines,” says an experienced Ted Hayes. The concession stand was a big help to the sophomores, as it has proven to be a good fund raiser. This year the Sophomore Class made around $4,000. Concession stand work gives the sophomores a chance to get together and have a good time while providing a service for the community.

They voted for their building council members and started participating in high school events. The freshmen building council members were Shannon Schroeder, president; Todd Feltmen, vice president; Angie Woods, secre- tary; Matt Ramon, Sarah Slater, Sally Hatcher, and Mike Faulkner as representa- tives. Those student began to find out just what it takes to organize high school activities. “It’s not as easy as 1 expected, but I have confidence in our future,” Shannon com- mented. As Homecoming Week approached, the freshmen showed a lot of enthusiasm. To rep- resent their class on the Homecoming Court, they chose Jennifer Madry and Mark Ab- bott. Excitement grew as the class prepared for the events. They worked on their lawn dis- play at Angie Woods house. Their display was a giant set of egg beaters mixing up those Coldwater Cardinals. Keeping with the theme of Homecoming, “Music is Alive in ’85,” background music of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It,” accompanied the display. The Freshman Class placed fourth overall, and went on to add up their challenges to equal a great high school year. -■ - BRINGING A CLASS TOGETHER takes hard work.

They awoke from an almost sleepless night anxious to be participating again in school activi- ties. As they began to get ready for school, they became nervous about the change there would be in their surround- ings. “Right when I walked in the door, I saw a big group of people standing at four corners, and I couldn’t figure out what was going on,” laughed Lisa Turner. Questions began to run through their minds like “Where’s Mr. Hulkow’s class?”, and “Should I ask someone for help?”. Not realizing, of course, that the upperclassmen might mislead them. Some made the mistake of asking them for directions. “I just wanted to get upstairs, but when I asked where the nearest stairway was, they sent me into some door,” com- mented Tina Hughes. The day seemed to be endless and con- fusing. Schedules had to be checked three times before each class was locat- ed. Everyone was curious to see who was in each class. The first day’s classes were filled with the reading of the rules. How- ever, everyone was thankful because this eliminated any chance of homework. By the last bell of the day, freshmen had become more acquainted with their surroundings. After the long day, they went home, crashed out, and dreamed of their next exciting day in high school. A CONFUSED FRESHMAN, Jason Redman, won- ders which way lo go. The first day of school can be a trying experience.

Photo by Laurie Fairies FRESHMEN Freshmen Korman-Shepherd Assembly brings different outlooks on school year Along with the new freshmen came new changes. Everyone quickly learned of these at the pep assembly on the first day of school. “They can’t do this to us!” was the general reaction of the students when Mr. Robert Currie explained some of the new changes in the school. The student body had a short rebellion among themselves over the new changes, but they soon became preoccupied with the excitement of the first day of school. One of these changes was in the atten- dance policy. As a result of this change, grades were greatly affected by the num- ber of unexcused tardies and absences that a student may accumulate. Flowers and balloons would no longer be delievered at the school. There would be no food parties during class time, and the number of pep assemblies was limit- ed to one a season. These new rules probably affected the freshmen the least since this was their First year, and the new rules had just been put into effect. Even so, they still had something to say about them, “I al- ways thought that once we were up at the high school we would have a lot more freedom than we do,” commented Heather Johnson. These things had contributed a lot to the rowdiness and spirit of the school. Where these new rules cut down on en- thusiasm, other new things in school, like the Freshmen Class, made up for them. CHEERING THEIR CLASS ON during a home- coming assembly are Lara Hartman, Heidi Wei- derman, and Joanne Lampert. Because of the few pep assemblies, this one was very appreciated. Photo by Mr. J.

The students might be at work writing on the topic of the day while lis- tening to the radio. They may be joking around with Mr. Brian Burns or listening to his seemingly endless comments. He uses his personal experience to explain the topics of the day. A lot of students think that because of the light atmosphere in the class, they can get away with more. This isn’t neces- sarily true. Mr. Burns is constantly say- ing, “Push your own buttons. You only get out of this class what you put into it.” Because of the many papers that have to be written (one a day), students have to keep up with their work. Writing that many papers might seem like a lot of hard work, but it really isn’t. “You are never wrong because you write about what you feel,” commented Michelle Patton. Mr. Burns keeps good relationships with his classes. “I liked his hair so much that I got mine cut just like it,” laughed Billy Vavrina. Mr. Burns is always mak- ing fun of his classes, but his comments are taken light-heartedly. Social issues is required for all ninth graders. It gives students a chance to express their feelings on the world around them. It only is for one semester, but most students think that it is fun while it lasts.

Photo by Laurie Fairies FRESHMEN F A C U L T Adding Changes As we learned that change was nothing to fear, They were adding up throughout the year. With the retirement of Mr. E. Kent Es- baugh came the promotion of Mr. Ray Da- vis to principal and the addition of Mr. Rob- ert Currie as the assistant principal. Along with these changes came others in the teaching of different and additional sub- jects. Teaching in a new area that one is used to can be quite a challenge; however, it also offers many personal rewards. “I feel that teaching different subjects not only broad- ens my own knowledge, but adds variety to my day,” remarked Mrs. Shirley Knaack about her many new classes. A variety is definitely what Mrs. Knaack got this year, teaching six different classes, two of which she had never taught before. Also adding a new subject to his schedule was Mr. Tom Duffey. Hs ventured into general business for the first time. The Physical Education department was full of changes this year. Mr. Richard Cronk, who has taught government, Ameri- can history, and economics for the past 15 years, added three classes of phys. ed. to an hour of government and American history. Although this may seem like a drastic change in subjects, Mr. Cronk adjusted well and commented that he “really enjoyed the challenges of teaching a different subject,” and that teaching a gym class really wasn't that hard to adjust to because he has coached track for the past 12 years. Mr. Richard Hulkow was moved from the gym to teach a full schedule of health classes. Drafting and government had one thing in common this year, Mr. John Strough. Mr. Strough started his teaching career as a government teacher in Colorado, but when he came to Marshall High School thirty years ago, he dropped government to teach drafting. This year he once again found himself teaching government for two hours. The changes made in the faculty were little and went unnoticed by many of the underclassmen. The changes had a greater effect on the upperclassmen, who weren’t used to seeing Mr. Strough in a tie every- day, or Mr. Cronk running around in a sweat suit. These little changes helped add up to an educational and enlightening year. ANSWERING THE TELEPHONE is the easiest part of Mrs. Nancy Nantz’s day.

His patience, understanding, and love for students and teaching, are some of the fine qualities that describe this very special person. Mr. Cairns was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan where he also received his high school education. After graduation, he en- tered Western Michigan University with a major in chemistry. Following his second year at college, Mr. Cairns enlisted as a bombardier and served in the remainder of World War II as a member of a bomber crew in Europe. After the war, Mr. Cairns married and returned to college where he graduated with a B.A. degree in 1947. Mr. Cairns started his teaching career in Mason, Michigan in 1949. After seven years, Mr. Cairns, his wife, daughter and son moved to Marshall where he contin- ued his teaching in science. Mr. Cairns then attended summer sessions at West- ern Michigan to achieve a master of arts degree in mathematics as well as in sci- ence in 1961. In his 37 years of teaching, Mr. Cairns noticed a change in the students' atti- tudes toward school. “It seems that kids don't care as much about their schooling now as when I began teaching , re- marked Mr. Cairns, recalling his early years of teaching. Although this change has occurred, he has learned to adjust to meet the students' needs and get them involved. Talking about his retirement, Mr. Cairns stated. “I am not sorry' I went into teaching because 1 enjoy helping the students learn, but I am looking forward to my retirement to travel and spend more time with my children and grandchildren. A CARNATION SHOWS someone that you care Vicki Kiessling gives Mr. Harry Cairns, on behalf of the entire student body, a carnation to show that he will be missed after his retirement.

Many people don't realize all the work that goes into teaching. A teacher's job is not just lecturing to students and correcting papers, but it goes far beyond that. Plan- ning for their classes, making up tests and helping individual students arc among the many additional jobs connected with teach- ing. Attending faculty meetings is another time consuming duty required of a teacher. What actually goes on in one of these facul- ty meetings? Some may think that they sit around and talk about ways to torture the students with more and more homework, or plan out their next tests so they can all give them on the same day. But, contrary to many students' beliefs, this is not what fac- ulty meetings are for. To get an idea of what actually goes on and what they are for, imagine sitting in on one of these meetings. It’s the first Tuesday of the month and the 2:25 bell has just rung to end the school Beyond day. Gather up the agenda sheet, some pa- per and a pencil and head down to the li- brary, where this exciting event is to take place. Within the next 15 minutes most of the teachers had filtered in and Mr. Davis and Mr. Currie are at the front table trying to get the meeting underway. “The first thing on the agenda is the Xe- rox machine,” Mr. Davis starts out. He states that too many students are being al- lowed to use it. After a little discussion, it was on to the next item on the agenda, which was too many students wandering the halls. Since it is more than half the way through the school year, teachers arc start- ing to be a little more lenient allowing stu- dents to go to their lockers without a pass. Mr. Davis asks the faculty to cut down on letting students roam the halls, then it was on to the next item of discussion. After go- ing over the rest of the (boring) items like newsletters, purchase orders, and volunteer programs, Mr. Davis asks if there is any new business. There was none, and the meeting was over. Nothing exciting happened, and they didn't even talk about torturing students. As a matter of fact, it was almost as boring as sitting in class. Apparently being a teacher isn't always full of excitement. WHEN ASKED ABOUT TEACHING live hours of typing. Mr. Jesse Engle replied. “I enjoy teaching five hours of typing because it gives me a chance to see many students learn and improve at the same ‘type’ of skills.

These storekeepers have always upheld this town’s youth activities and, in return, have re- ceived assistance and business from these teens. One good example of this is the annual Schuler’s Bar Scheeze Classic Run. It is held in the center of the city, and participated in by hundreds of people. The city and its kids work with the Schuler Corporation to keep things “running” smoothly, and produce fun and excitement for all. In fact, not only do Marshall youth assist in the production and advertisement of this race, they participate in it, too. Downtown mer- chants delight the com- munity residents by holding Sidewalk and Moonlight Madness Sales. Individuals of all ages flock to these spe- cials, knowing that only in a small town like Marshall will comra- dery and fun go hand in hand with great bar- gains. The biggest commu- nity event each year is the annual Historical Homes Tour. This oc- casion truly unites mer- chants and teens. By working in such various positions as bus assis- tants and tour guides, the youth contribute time and energies to re- turn the support shown them. Students not only get experience in working with tourists, they gain in the knowl- edge that they have giv- en support to a major part of their communi- ty; the Marshall mer- chants.

Most students are in dreamland and have no intention of getting up to face the ugly day. Each day, on weekends and school days, imagine bundling up and going out into the dark and dreary world to start two or three hours worth of chores. Most people don’t give this much thought, but many students face this reality every morning. Marshall puts great pride in its farmers. Beth Letts commented, “I feel I’ve gotten a sense of responsibil- ity and pride from farming.” Through organizations such as 4-H and FFA, the young people of this community have the opportunity to experience farming, the care of animals, and even dirty feet. “The FFA has helped me in farming because of the hands-on ex- perience I have gotten. It’s not just bookwork in the FFA,” stated Tim Wise, FFA president. Some people wouldn’t want to get within 50 feet of a cow, pig, horse, or any other farm animal, let alone clean up after one. Yet, this is the situation presented to many kids who live on farms and must do chores. Farming is filled with challenges and a continuous struggle for finan- cial security. Marshall is still a rural community with a substantial num- ber of full-time farmers. Although the time spent working on the farm does take a lot out of the social life of students, there is still time to participate in extra-curricular activities, go places with friends, and even have a little time to themselves. Shelley Rockey said, “Farming pro- vides self-satisfaction. You know at the end of each day you have accom- plished something that benefits America.” There are those in our community who have been farming their whole life. Though farming is in difficulty in the nation, many in this community are hanging on to their heritage. They are proud to be farmers helping the community. They are also proud to be dedicated to their families, their ani- mals, and their farms. The STAGECOACH INH Food • Cocktails Congratulations Seniors! Inn Keeper John Mathie 201 W.

They wait expectantly, feral eyes glittering in the dim moonlight that floods through the window. TVvin beams sweep by a golden arc, herald- ing the iminent arrival of the long- awaited guest. Footsteps hesitantly stumble up the front walk, revealing their owner's uncertainty. A knock at the door signals a barrage of rustling noises and expectant whispers. A warbling voice is heard outside the door, Hello, is anyone home? I'm here. So are we. Silent voices chorus maliciously from inside the house. A small, slightly sticky hand slowly unlatches the door and cracks it open. A large, beatific smile wreaths the face of its small owner as he ushers in a slightly puzzled teen — the babysitter. The parents leave hurridly, know- ing that the word apocalypse won't even begin to describe the impend- ing carnage. The babysitter perches nervously on the edge of a chair, casting furtive glances at her malignant charges out of the corners of her eyes. Three pairs of baby-blues watch the receding tail lights round the far corner and then turn to take their newest overseer's measure. Babysitter's here; let the games begin. Some teens try to pass ba- bysitting off as a means of making extra money, or as something to do to fill up their free time. Annette Tribby, senior sitter, smiles sweetly and pi- ously declares babysitting, Prepar- ing for the future. If tearing around after a group of prepubescent hellions is future plan- ning, then God help us, because we're in for an early mid-life crisis. When the sitter questions the par- ent about the length of her stay with the small band of terrorists, the adult usually muters nervously, Oh, don't worry. I expect to be back in a few hours. HAVING EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL with the kids, Kim Rapp enjoys the rest of the thhe playing with Becky and Jimmy Bosserd.

Marching and symphonic band members now will not only be known for fine performances, but also for their snappy appearance. The school board. Rotary Foundation, and Music Boosters, as well as the band, raised $39,000 for full uniforms. Included in this package were new pants (black with red stripes) for the guys, skirts (black) for the flag girls, capes, plumes, gloves, rain jackets, and a banner. Men in symphonic band also received new cumberbunds and ruffled shirts. The music department has bought and changed accessories off and on, but has not received new outfits in about fifteen years. “Band is a really exciting class, and it will be enjoyable to put on our new uniforms and per- form a show for our fellow students at a football game,” stated Tyrie Wag- ner and Kristin Spears. Kids and parents alike worked to help the Music Boosters earn money. Stu- dents held a sausage and cheese sale, and parents sold fertilizer. A special ■i it all ads up . .don’t they look snappy? thanks goes to M r. Alfred DeVera and Mr. and Mrs. William Plummer, pres- ident and vice-president of Music Boosters and to Mrs. Pat Elms, Pro- ject Director of the Band Boosters, for supervising these projects. Mrs. Pearl Baremor, volunteer for the Music Boosters, stated, “We really need to thank the community for its support. Businesses and people just do- nated money outright. The community as a whole gave Marshall High School these terrific new uniforms.” Next year’s Drum Major, Denise Snodgrass com- mented, “The new outfits are really great. They’re going to add a lot to our reputation.” COMMUNITY 195 Congratulations to the Class of 1986 Michigan Kitchen Distributors Marshall and sip The Kitchen Shops Battle Creek Kalamazoo South Haven Jackson Lansing Flint CJown and Country S i oppe Phone:781-2511 51 W.

Photo by Brian Jendryka When this reporter learned that a chariot race was to be held at Mar- shall High School, I was, to say the least, amused. What hope does a mid- eastern school have to compare with the grandeur of Nero's coliseum games? Very little, it seemed. When I arrived at the spectacle, I was disappointed beyond my wildest dreams. There were no opening at- tractions, no Christians being fed to lions, no prisoners fighting one an- other for freedom, nothing. All there was was a motley group of self-proclaimed “charioteers” assem- bled before the most ridiculous wheeled armada I had ever seen. The race promised no chaos, no glory, just a laugh or two. The start of the race drew near, and the charioteers tried to appear cool. Mounting their vehicles were the teams of Lonnie Mathiers and Rob Viland, Lance Elyea and Eric Cook, Jason Devine and John Pratt, and Dan Hammond and Matt Hagerty. After some clumsy organization, the warriors were ready for action. No more than half-way down the track, the race was blessed with its only inci- dent of searing violence — the chari- ots of Elyea Cook and Mathiers Vi- land became ensnarled. The Elyea Cook vehicle was dragged into the biting cinders of the track. Although Elyea continued on foot to finish the race (and to come in last place, not bad for a team that boasted “This is the winning one” about their chariot). Cook was mangled (well, almost) be- neath the grinding wheels of Mather and Viland’s cart. “I sacrificed my body for the race!” boasted Cook. After the dusty smoke and the red haze of bloodlust cleared from my eyes, the underdog Hammond Hagerty team emerged victorious. When asked how they felt about win- ning, they replied, “It feels good.” I turned to the victory-cheated team of Elyea and Cook. “Well, it really doesn’t matter that we lost,” they sighed. “We were only in it for the pizza.” When it was all over, I wished I could have said the same. by Steve Hoeltzel 198 COMMUNITY Service: Monday-Friday: 7:30 AM-5:00 PM Saturday: 8:00 AM-3:00 PM Full Service Parts Body Shop Sales: Monday-Thursday: 8:00 AM-8:00 PM Friday: 8:00 AM-6:00 PM Saturday: 9:00 AM-3:00 PM We Sell New and Used Cars 1201 W.

COMMUNITY 205 Reading.. .is Some people believe that nothing excit- ing or even interesting happens at the Marshall Public Library. They continue to retain the misconception that it is just a tomb for moldy books, or somewhere to stop and read the latest issue of People. Those who frequent this vast vault of knowledge know that this is just not true. In fact, this library is considered to be one of the “hot spots of the community! Be- sides carrying many of the popular magazines, it also has most of the newest records and tapes. The library is also the place to go to find such little-known book as 101 Ways to Bellydance. The community uses the library in lots of ways. This building serves as a meeting place, a rest stop, and a temporary ba- bysitting location (much to the dismay of the librarians). The library supplies the facilities that the community of Marshall needs. All kinds of people frequent this build- ing. There are those who enter, believing that they shouldn’t utter any sound ex- ceeding a whisper. There are the types who continually “Shhh!” the noisier pa- ■■ It all ADS up that all there is to do? trons, never quite realizing that their leaky tire imitations are as loud as the other’s talking. On the opposite extreme, there are the rowdy groups which have no qualms about yelling their lungs out at the drop of a hat. These people seem to have great difficulty understanding the dirty looks and hissing noises directed at them by the “Shhh-ers”. The library is definitely the place to go if you are a “people watcher, because some of the more “unusual” town resi- dents also frequent this building’s back stacks. These remnants of society are carefully kept under supervision by the diligent staff. Over all, the most unusual people in the entire library are the librarians. Combining discipline with vast stories of much needed patience (“Hey, librarian! What’s a card catalogue?”), they success- fully referee most of the town’s literary activities with an iron hand. Check out the library! People-watch or look for “unusuals.” It’s the place to go, so why not stop in? UNBOTHERED BY THE UNUSUALS, Neisha Dickman reads up on some Rolling Stone news.

He is such a nice boy, I think you should go with him.” When walking into Mrs. Doris Taylor’s office, it is not unusual to hear her catching up on the latest romances, or giving valuable advice to a student. Mrs. Taylor is the high school principal secretary; but more than that, she is a good friend. “Mrs. Taylor is a lot of fun, and she is always willing to listen to any problem with eager advice,” replied Heidi Clayborn when asked about her friendship with Mrs. Taylor. Her hard work, friendly personality, and eagerness to help others has earned her the honor of the 1986 Dial Dedication. Mrs. Taylor has lived her entire life in Marshall. Her teenage years were spent at- tending Marshall High School, where she was very active. She was a member of G AA (Girls’ Athletic Association) for four years, was the exchange editor for the school pa- per, vocalized in an operetta, was the Latin Club secretary, and was in the play “June FLOWERS have always been a favorite of Mrs. Doris Taylor.

Mad.” She was also named “Best Dancer” and “Most Slap-Happy Girl” by her senior class. After graduation in 1942, Doris Faust went to work at Taylor’s Dairy Store in downtown Marshall. Mr. Alvin Taylor re- turned from the army in 1945. He went to work in his father’s store, where he met Miss Doris Faust. Two years later their mar- riage took place. Mrs. Taylor remained working at the store until they started a family. Their first son was named Larry, and their second son, Bruce, arrived two years later. She stayed home for ten years to raise their sons. In 1959, Mrs. Taylor went back to work, and she has been the principal’s secretary ever since. Mrs. Taylor is always there to make things run smoothly. She handles all the school’s accounts, and always seems to re- main calm even when everything goes wrong. Along with her easy-going personal- ity, Mrs. Taylor takes great pride in her school and work. “I always think of Mrs. Taylor’s intense pride in this school and her bright interest in all the students. She al- ways represented us in the best professional manner,” commented Ms. Kendra Magnus, English teacher. When Mrs. Taylor isn’t busy answering the phone, typing papers, or counting mon- ey at her busy job, she enjoys cooking and shopping. She is also an avid sports fan, taking special partiality in the Detroit Ti- gers. Another favorite pastime of Mrs. Tay- lor’s is solving crossword puzzles. Mr. A1 Elyea, math teacher, racked his brain with Mrs. Taylor every lunch period trying to help her figure out the puzzles. “She has done crossword puzzles everyday during her lunch period for as long as I can remem- ber,” stated Mr. Elyea about their “puz- zling” lunchtime activities. Mrs. Taylor has maintained her “slap- happy” status, as she seldom wears a frown and is continually brightening people’s days. Unfortunately, the end of the 1986 school year also brought the end of Mrs. Taylor’s career at the high school. After twenty-seven years, Mrs. Taylor decided to retire. Her smile and friendly personality will be missed by everyone. 216 DEDICATION SANTA CLAUS CAME TO TOWN.

Wheeler M 218 AFTER HOURS W 1 w A fter 1 H lours When the last bell rings and the students pour out of the school, how do they spend the rest of their day? Some go directly to prac- tice or to their place of work. These special people spend time, energy, and dedicated ef- fort to prepare for upcoming competition or to earn money. Others go home, grab a bite to eat, and watch their favorite soap opera. “Days of Our Lives” was highlighted this year with the breath-taking marriage of Bo and Hope. Troy Zarger, sophomore, recalled, “I made sure I’d be home everyday to see if Reva and Kyle were back together again on ‘The Guid- ing Light’.” After a few moments of relaxation, stu- dents feel rejuventated and ready to go again. They either use their energy to finish up their homework, or better yet, to talk for hours on the telephone. When the nighttime arrives, a variety of activities are available to please a variety of people. There is usually time for an adven- turesome drive down mainstreet. A certain segment of the school population can be found near parking meters or gathered by their trucks. When Nan Dowding, senior, was asked about her boyfriend’s fondness of parking uptown, she commented, “I like to watch everyone drive by, but sometimes I get tired of hearing about lift kits and drive shafts.” McDonald’s is a favorite spot to see friends and chow on McDlt’s and fries. It is also a perfect meeting place before a trip to the mall. Lakeview Square Mall is more to stu- dents than just a place to shop and eat. It is a gathering and exploring area for all types of social adventurers. Ginny Huggett stated, “If it wasn’t for the mall, I never never would have met my best friend, Ben Simpson. Al- though he is from a different school, we meet everyday to talk about what has been going on.” On weekends, if time and money are still available, a movie can be seen at any of the area theaters. If the situation is not favor- able, students are just as satisfied with a vid- eo and a late night snack of pizza and pop- corn. Student activities are as varied and unique as the students themselves. Whether they go to bed early or stay up late, face excitement or boredom, go out on the town or stay at home, they are living the times that are uniquely their own. The best of times .. . their teenage years. LETS MOTOR! As soon as the bell rings, the guys who park in the back of the parking lot hop in their trucks for a cruise through town. Tim Wise.

It all started in the fall when the high school came alive. The students started the year with a new attitude and a variety of ideas. They were determined to make a lasting impression through their ac- complishments; scholastically, athletically, and creatively. In order to fulfill this image, many hours of hard work, practice, and teamwork were necessary. In the end the outcome was spec- tacular. Students not only received recognition from their peers, but from the community as well. They were constantly making headlines in the local newspaper. They earned honors in academ- ics, music, and organizations. Suddenly everyone was aware of who were the leaders, the followers, the performers, and the spectators. Everyone had a place. The school was no longer filled with confused, hopeful faces, but it was filled with a satisfied, united student body. If students weren’t receiving public recognition of their achievements, then they were setting their own personal goals and fulfilling them. Even if it were just to learn a little more than the year before and to try to abide by the new rules, they certainly made the effort. Someday students will look back on the year and remember everyone for what they did. The pictures, the records, and the words of the year are all here. They are the evidence of what the students accomplished and they will continue to make a lasting impression on all the people that they touch.

We had the work-out of a lifetime, from aerobics to pop quizzes. Luckily, we also had the little breaks to get us through the year. We had spring break in Daytona and video machines for relaxing at home. We also had the fashion. We looked cool in Jams and prints. Yet, we also looked hot with a bronze glow from Sunsations Tanning Salon. Since we looked so “Maah-velous,” we had to have the perfect wheels to get us where we were going. Favorites were jeeps and little Ford and Chevy trucks. It’s impossible to list all the things we had, but a glance back through these pages will tell the TOTAL story. PUTTING ON THE RITZ.
