HORIZONS Erie Tejocharontiong (Lake Erie) powerfully washes Mentor’s shore. 50 miles wide and deepest at 85 feet, Erie has the shortest temper. Lacking stability due to her shallowness, a breath of wind is enough to send her turning somersaults. The first boats to sail Erie were sail boats, many constructed and launched from Headland’s beach. During the 1870’s Byrn’s beach (once along Headlands Road) contained a shipyard, drydock, and platforms for launching boats. In their blue coats, brass buttons, nakcen trousers, white vests, low shoes, white silk stockings, ruffled shirts, large hats, and jingling gold watch chains, lake captains were the idol of every young lad. A number of lake captains lived along the Headlands Road in houses which still exist. These were the men along with the crews who went out in weather that scared fish, performed gallant rescues, dangerously overloaded boats, and pocessed a twinkling sense of humor. One captain when asked if men were anxious to leave a wreck replied, “Don’t know! One knocked me down, and one hit me with a suitcase coming aboard Sailing on Erie those days was a risky business. On October 20, 1916 the storm king visited Erie concentrating all his endeavor on her rather than Erie's stronger sisters. Four boats were on the open lake; all went down. Erie has her treasure ships too. On April 27, 1850 the steamer “Anthony Wayne’’ left Toledo with a cargo of immigrants. Her starboard boilers exploded, and she sank, but the $180,000 to $200,000 aboard has never been recovered. ABOVE: Top hats, gold mounted walking sticks, and ruby set watches were presented to captains whose boats cleared port first. TOP LEFT: A breath of wind is enough to send Lake Erie turning somersaults (Defunct lighthouse off of Headlands Beach State Park).

BOTTOM: From winter freeze up to spring break up, boats such as this plow past Mentor (Cleveland-Cliffs Iron co.). FAR RIGHT: Many of us will continue to carry on the lake tradition (Coast guardsman at Fairport Coastguard Station). CHARTING OUR COURSE MENTOR HIGH SCHOOL, located at 6477 CENTER STREET, past and present, is easily associated with Lake Erie. Today, people still flock to the numerous sunglazed beaches of MENTOR, OHIO 44060, whether to contemplate or enjoy, surely they remember the sailing days of Mentor. Many a sailing rig “didth” find berth in her ever flowing, ever breaking waters. Yes, truly gone are Mentor’s days of sailing but as we prepare for tomorrow, our CARDINAL NOTES the voyage of 1976 that will lead us to brighter horizons. Water was as natural an clement to our ancestors as air. A day in the Headlands meant breakfast before sunrise and a hike to the life saving station in Grand River for a demonstration of seamanship. Lunch time was spent building sandcastles and collecting periwinkles. Following lunch a family would ferry to Fairport for a 5(1 coke and Hershcy bar. On the return voyage people were anxious to return before dark, less they be caught in the boisterous sailor city of Grand River. Just after sunset fires were built along the shore while people laughed and sang together. This became such a popular past time that two or three life saving station men had to patrol the area which is now Headlands Beach State Park. These young lads, not wanting to seem unfriendly, talked for hours with town’s people concerning shipwrecks, rescues, and just plain gossip. As payment for the information, each sailor ate his full of fried corn and toasted marshmcllows. Following World War 1, Mentor became a fastly growing resort community. Strings upon strings of summer houses lined the lake. Erie has since claimed many of them for herself however. The depression of 1929 proved to be the downfall of Mentor’s resort community. Eric is and was the lake of short hauls, quick trips, stops and starts, hello goodbyes,and superstition. Our ships have succumbed to the ever rising, ever falling waters of Lake Erie, but their ghosts sail on forever in the minds of all men and women. When passing the lake next, look around, feel it surge, feel it lure, sec the strange forms take shape, the masts and spars! a voice of the tomb, tellin’ us to come to supper down aft the engine room MHS 7 EARNING, LEARNING, AND Bob Pope pumps gas at a Sunoco Station. GROWING TO NEW IDEAS MHS 8 The Mentor secondary program of studies provides a diversity of educational experiences and programs in an attempt to meet our needs. College bound students could be found unlocking the secrets to the universe in such courses as physics, chemistry, biology,and calculus. Final realization of long hours of tests, forms, and more tests came upon acceptance to college. Those of us who were vocationally oriented applied ourselves in the areas of auto body, child care, horticulture, and cosmetology, junior year was spent developing skills whereas senior year refined them. Outside employment was sought by college and vocationally oriented students. The Great Lakes mall with its surrounding stores, cinemas and restaurants provided most of the jobs. Vocational Auto Mechanics prepares students for high paying jobs in the automotive industry 2,800 DEFINITIONS OF FUN Seniors and Juniors spent an average of six hours in school, Sophomores seven hours. What about the other hours of the day? Just about anything a student enjoyed, he could have done. Whatever his preference—shopping, attending a concert, or just talking with friends. Here was time. On weekends there were places to go, friends to visit, families to help, and just time to be one’s self. TOP ROW: Senior Jim Duncan spends his time playing the guitar. Sports events occupy much of students’ spare time. Rock star Alice Cooper visited the Mentor Jaycee’s haunted house which was staffed by the class of ’77. BOTTOM ROW: A scholarship enables sophomore Stephanie Ziegler to prepare for a dancing career at the Studio Theatre in Paincsvillc. Many students own motorcycles, some of which are ridden to school (A student executes a daring manuver). Senior English literature classes were treated to the talents of bagpipe players (Joe Toutant plays the bagpipes, Bill Watson the upright bass). MHS 10 MHS 11 Despite growing industrial centers such as the Industrial Park on Route 306, Mentor still retains country characteristics (Little Mountain Road). MHS 12 MENTOR, MICROCOSM OF TODAY’S SOCIETY The Great Lakes Mall attracts shoppers from all over the area (Higbee’s). I ir 28 churches representing a variety of religions serve our community. Despite its growth, Mentor retains characteristics of urban and rural society. Districts such as those located on Tyler Boulevard and the Industrial Park on Route 306 contain such well known industries as Towmotor, TRW, and Penny’s, which have contributed to the economic well being of the community. With its surrounding restaurants and cinemas, the Great Lakes Mall, largest in the area, stimulates thriving business competition. To maintain a vital link with the outside world, Greyhound and Lake Front lines, 150 truck lines. Lost Nation Airport, 2 railroads, and numerous highways crisscross the city. Our bustling city is also served by 12 banks, 28 churches, and 2 newspapers. On the other hand, remcnants of a small nursery community specializing in roses remain. Mentor Marsh, located in the Headlands, is still a favorite haunt for naturalists. It contains many species of wildlife which are found nowhere else in the country. Heritage homes (100 years old) dot the landscape. Those in the Headlands once housed lake captains and sailors, whereas those on Mentor Avenue testify to country stores which once existed. Compared to other city governments ours is relatively simple, having gained city status only in 1963. A charter, city manager, 8 councilmen, 14 administrators, and numerous commissions provide us with a variety of services, including such recreational services as swimming, boating, golf, ice skating rinks, playgrounds, parks, and tennis courts. Mentor is definetly expanding her horizons. New schools, wider roads, more homes, and an increased population will in the future make Mentor a model community. A favorite haunt for naturalists is the Mentor Marsh, located in the Headlands. It contains many species of animals which are found nowhere else in the country. MHS 13 Not many towns can lay claim to a President. James A. Garfield, 20th President of the U.S., was a resident of Mentor. Garfield’s home, Lawnfield, is a bicentennial attraction. NOT JUST SAILOR'S TOWN Many schools purchased bicentennial flags. Fairfax students Debbie Taylor, Cindy Balish, and Bruce Phelan display theirs. America’s 200th birthday has a special significance for Mentor, other than typical bicentennial activities. Not many towns can lay claim to a President. James Abram Garfield, twentieth President of the United States, was a resident of Mentor. Lawnficld, on Mentor Avenue, was built in 1832 but purchased by Garfield and his wife, Lucrecia, in 1876 and completely remodeled. Upon entrance to the home, original furniture and oil paintings, oriental vases, and exquisite fireplaces constitute part of the decor. Surrounding the home is Garfield’s presidential campaign office. During his campaign many torch lit parades took place on Mentor Avenue. Republican Garfield was inaugurated as President on March 4, 1881. Under the operation of the Lake County Historical Society, in 1936 the home became a museum, which attracted over 9,000 visitors last year. FIRST MATES 81 SHIS s we sit pondering the wonders of the great cosmic expanses, one question seems to predominate all others: Are Seniors invisible? Of course, there are many ways to answer this question as it applies to Mentor High School. The most immediate evaluation of it applies to the physical presence of the beings known as “Seniors.” Yes, they are there. One can hardly miss them, for they number close to 800 this year, all of these being tangible. Looking at the question from another viewpoint, Seniors are the people occupying the courtyard nestled amidst the Student Center, Child Care rooms, and the Learning Center. They are also the only students that attend any American Government classes, and they provide all English IV courses with a purpose for existing. In the very same courtyard, aforementioned, Seniors struggled to erect and decorate a Christmas tree in order to help the school celebrate the holiday season in the true spirit. Each year underclassmen un-derhandedly undermine all such attempts. This year the tree was down in record time, and fortunately it had not been decorated yet. Some Seniors had a tendency to be more visible than others. They were honored by being picked as “Senior of the Month,” an award created to make the public aware of the talent and dedication of some Mentor High School’s more outstanding Seniors. Not surprisingly, Seniors held a majority of club presidencies and other leadership positions, due to their experience accumulated in previous years as underclassmen, and for the umpteenth year in a row, Seniors made a sweep in the elections for Senior Class Officers: Ann Bitzer served as President, Robin Jones as Vice President, Julie Domokos as secretary, and Lori Horn as Treasurer. Not one underclassmen in the entire group! It was under the direction of these class officers and the guidance of Mr. David Bonhert that much was accomplished this year. Some of the projects under consideration by the Senior class included the following: A Farewell Dinner for the Senior class, a last chance to say goodbye to the school and their classmates. A Roller Skating Party, where all the young men would draw on their vast athletic skills to attempt feats of daring for their lady friends or for someone else they may be enamored of. Several dances, including a 50’s Dance cosponsored by Student Council. And of course, the entire class prepared for their new life out in the real world, making plans for commencement (getting the caps and gowns ready, sending out announcements), and looking into colleges and jobs. The culmination of these events at the end of the 1975-76 Senior year will tend to make the Seniors invisible: They will be gone! Their graduation will be remembered, as well as their achievements in the year of the Bicentennial, the Olympics, the Presidential elections, and other assorted events. Looking at the question from one final viewpoint. Seniors are not invisible in the physical sense here at Mentor High, nor should they be invisible after they leave. They will be visible to the world in their future success, as they, to cop a phrase, will be “Sailing toward Brighter Horizons.” Philip Spayse C ) S O ft •v SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS, Lori Horn (Treasurer), Ann Bitzer (President), Robin Jones (Vice-president), and Julie Domokos (Secretary), model authentic clothes from the Garfield Museum.

To demonstrate the laws of momentum a student shoots him with blanks. Numerous articles written by Mr. Walker have appeared in print. The Flying Circus of Physics. Mr. Walker's book, is the only Physics book to have made the best sellers list. Jerald Walker commented that he had a plan to supply California with energy using 50 feet of “Dunker Ducks” in the Pacfic Ocean,but the way fads affect California, people would bow down in unison with the ducks. In December Mr. Jerald Walker gave a physics demonstration to all Physics and Chemistry classes. The demonstration consisted of a computer driven slide presentation of six projectors, one movie camera, accompanied by music ranging from the Beatles to Pink Floyd.

Graduation to a senior means so much more than a piece of paper. With Graduation comes responsibility, independence, and sometimes the understanding of love. Graduation brings with it in 1976, the bicentennial, but more than that, it will show the pride of 76. MHS 27 ABOVE: Has any one seen my finger?

Lynn Fuller Biology offers the sophomore a basic course covering the classification of plants and animals. Dissection covers a grasshopper, worm, and frog. In this class many students receive their first glance into the world of microscopic organisms. Upon completing General Biology the junior or senior may enroll in phase elective Biology courses which last nine weeks. In the study of human systems the student has an opportunity to perform experiments on live frogs which have been pithed (rendered painless.) The world of molecules and atoms, reactions and ions is studied in Chemistry. Two courses: one for science majors and one for non-majors are offered. Extensive time is spent in lab putting learned knowledge to work.

From a field of 10 candidates Karen Rhorbaugh was chosen 1976 homecoming queen at the September 19th homecoming assembly. The cardinals were “fired up” for the big game by a parade down Mentor Avenue. Six floats, including a first time entry from Student Council, made this the largest homecoming in Mentor’s history. Awards went to Spanish Club (first), Junior Class (second), and Senior Class (third). Eventhough our team was not successful in overcoming Valley Forge, the homecoming dance sponsored by Pep Club was enjoyed by all. ’’Stairway” provided dancing music, and in adherence to the Bicentenial the theme was “Pride of 76”. Decorations were red, white and blue, and dress was formal. A1 Fox, Captain of the football team, presented each of the five candidates with a rose. Karen received the red rose and was crowned by last year’s queen. 1976 HOMECOMING COURT. Darlene Bishop and Dan Waina, Pam Rama and Paul Pochatila, Karen Rhorbaugh and Gene Caruso.

Yesterday is simply past history of events that have something to do from then on until now. Today is true hell trying to forget yesterday’s faults and making it better before Tomorrow has arrived. The Future ... ah yes, now it has come to a word that no fool or philosopher or scientist can define. ... I cannot tell your future the happy times and sad spells but take it from a poet your future is up to you. If you have nothing in the world remember you and only you alone can make your yesterday. Today and Tomorrow. Remember what they are. Remember, happiness doesn’t come from yesterday's occurences, and hope doesn’t come with tomorrow’s But yet they both come from Today. . . .

The Mardi Gras held in Fairport each year to celebrate the fourth of July drew throngs of students. The zipper, tilt-a-whirl, and Him-malaya from the Lake County Fair left permanent impressions in our stomach. Mike I risina swabs the decks.

JUST A BUNCH OF CHARACTERS P he personality poll is an old time favorite. In order that the election be conducted more democratically, Seniors wrote in candidates for each trait, the winners being the ones with a majority vote. Confusion resulted in the poll, having to be conducted twice. We added some new categories and abolished a few. Quietest (Alison Ziegler and Billy Burke). Most Patriotic (John Childress and Pam Rama). MHS71 Friendliest (Carol March and Jeff Platz). Hottest Temper (Laurel Manginoand Bruce Fellows). Most Likely to Succeed (Corinne Miller and Paul Pochatilla). Most Outgoing (Joe Ross and Jeanenne Fickc). Class Clown (Ann Bitzcrand Bill Runyon). DIVERSIFIED TRAITS Class Wits (Not pictured: Kelly Muir and Fdgar Reynolds). Class Flirt (Not pictured: Dave Hickey). Most Athletic (AI Pox and Marilyn Workman). MHS 72 Most Artistic (Sue Thomas and Jim Hall). Most Musical (Kerry Harrold and Randy Ivie). Best Dressed (Mike Schmidt and Cathy Costello). Most Cool (Vicki Morris and Monty Bledsoe). MHS 73 Most Individual (Margaret O’Brien and I-Ted Smith). SENIOR OF THE MONTH In the wake of last year's reports of disciplinary problems at the school arose the Senior of the Month Award. The award was sponsored by the Senior class, with the class officers reviewing a list of possible candidates to the award each month. The idea behind the Senior of the Month Award was to honor outstanding senior class members for outstanding service to the school or community, or to give recognition to a student for scholastic achievements. With spirit paralleling that of Paul Bunyan, A1 DcCola became Senior of the Month for December. A1 won a S500 award from the James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation for designing and building a log splitter. The idea for the splitter arose from his need to better facilitate the splitting of logs for his cord wood selling business. He sent away to various parts of the country for materials and spent afternoons and weekends during his junior year welding them together, finishing in time to enter the Foundation’s contest this year. He almost succeeded in getting his log splitter patented, being stopped only by S5000 worth of fees. MHS 74 The first award went to soccer star Walter Schlothaur for the month of September. During the summer before the opening of school, Walt participated in the regional tryouts for the United States 18-and-undcr soccer team in Chicago. From there it was on to Dallas, Texas, where he was picked to be a member of the 15-man team. In September Walt traveled with the team to Germany, seeing the country and playing center halfback. The U.S. team compiled a 4-4 record and returned in October. Walt, along with the rest of the Mentor High soccer team, went on to make soccer as celebrated a sport here at the high school as football. Senior of the Month for January was Julie Domokos. Cheerleading Mascot, Pep Club president. Senior Class Secretary, ICC member, and GAA member are just some of the many cxtracurriculars that Julie participated. During the summer, selected for Girls’ Buckeye State, she attended a seminar at Capital University for 8 days. She commented that it was a fantastic experience and great opportunity to meet and work with people. As for the future Julie plans to attend Bowling Green University and major in Home Fconomics. Senior of the Month for October was Nancy Mitchell. Nancy was selected last year to represent Mentor High in the Ohio Council of Teachers Mathematics Contest. She is taking calculus and is considering a math major in college. She is also heavily involved in club activities, serving as vice-president in both the National Honor Society and The American Field Service, as well as being a member of French Club. Nancy was ranked as seventh in the class, and she sustained an A average. Jay DeRose literally snapped up the award for the Month of November. Jay won as a result of various endeavors in the field of photography, including holding such positions as Chief Photographer and Photographic Fditor for the yearbook, and photographer for the school newspaper. His winter sports photography is being used in the game programs, and the MTA used his pictures of their play for their newsletter. Jay has won several awards for his camera work, most noteworthy being a Kodak nomination and a blue ribbon finalist for the Scholastic Art Awards on the national level.

STUDENT COUNCIL Student Council is the voice of the students of Mentor High. It consists of a representative and alternate from each homeroom. Working together with advisor Mr. Andy Sabo, the Council seeks to bring issues of the students to the attention of the faculty and administration. The council also seeks for better relationships among the pupils of MHS, and also interscholastically, as is evidenced by the two student exchanges with Willoughby South and Lake Catholic. The Council also rented a pinball machine, placed in the Student Center, in addition to last year’s air hockey game. Student Council also sponsored several dances, including the popular 50’s dance. BUCKEYE STATERS The Boys’ and Girls' Buckeye Staters were selected by their teachers last spring. These senior boys and girls spent their time during this past summer participating in seminars, both on the local and state governments. The two groups spent their time separate from each other. The representatives of Mentor High were joined by groups of students from other area schools. They were selected to further advance the understanding of the mechanics of our working governments. GIRLS’ STATERS. Sarah Moor, Debbie Cecil, Julie Domokos, and Corrine Miller. BOYS’ STATERS. Mark Eeaslinc, Frank Volenik.Tom Trepepi. MHS 79 ACADEMIC CHALLENGE This year’s Academic Challenge team consisted of five MHS students. Tryouts were held early in September. The group consisted of a team of three students with two alternates. The show, taped during a weekend at the WKYC TV station in Cleveland, was shown on television the following month. Prior to this was much drilling and practicing in the areas of mathematics. English, music, history and geography, and branches of science including physics, chemistry and biology.

Football fans have seen Julie Domokos countless times on Memorial Field, and for those who followed the Cagers that was none other than Pam Johnson, who was whipping up the spirit during those time outs. If wrestling is your thing, then you know about Kim Keres who lends an added bit of pep to the matches. These girls, working along with the cheerleaders, are a necessary part of any game.

These girls put in many long hours of exhausting practice to be able to perform their chants, cheers, and impossible looking mounts. This year’s cheerleaders have been on the go, instilling enthusiasm into even the most bored spectator. The games just would’t be the same without them. i V BASKFTBALL. ROW 1: K. Rohrbaugh, B.

They performed at the annual Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring concerts. The choir consisting of more than one hundred members also had an enjoyable exchange concert with a Michigan High School. Michigan traveled to Mentor and performed in March, with Mentor making a return visit later. Another highlight of the year was the travel to the heart of American independence, Philadelphia. The entire choir spent a few memorable days at Independence Hall during several days in May. Such enthusiasm! MIXED CHORUS. T. Petroff (Wheelchair) P. Andow (piano) ROW 1: S. Sproclc, D. Baker, T.

WZRO, located in back of the electronics room, is supervised by Mr. Kowalke and a student “station manager”. Interested students try out for Disc Jockey positions and once chosen are taught how to operate all equipment connected with running WZRO. The station itself is set up like a real radio station with turntables, tape players, a microphone and control board. This arrangement lets the student practice as if he were working on a professional radio station. Students involved in WZRO have fun while recieving valuable experiences that will help in their future careers. WZKO. ROW I B. Anthony, S. Zittdlo, M. McFcely. ROW 2: S. Nightengale, B. Mertz.

The group of approximately fifty has instruments ranging from flutes to trumpets and French horns to clarinets. The positions are always changing as students aim for seats in the higher band. When you get “Old MacDonald” down will try “Mary had a Little Lamb.” S YMPHONIC Mr. Gayle Stalheim directed this outstanding band. Mentor High does well to boast of its Symphonic Band, consisting of highly talented sophomore, junior, and senior musicians. Many hours were spent in striving for perfect performing, at both the local concerts and state contest. The band has always been top ranking. MIIS 100 Burns. B. Dann, G. Sherman, K. Schmidt, C.

The orchestra, consisting of the four part of string, woodwind, brass and percussion, was an outstanding group as they played in concert this year. Many hours of practice, both at school, and individually at home, were necessary to give the orchestra its professional sound. An important goal they kept in mind was to recieve a superior or one rating at the state contest in Toledo. WIND ENSEMBLE A fairly new band at Mentor High is the Wind Ensemble. Appoximately fifty, very conscientious students compose this group. They performed at all instrumental music concerts, and also at the annual High School Solo and ensemble contcstat Lakeland Community College.

MARCHING BAND Hard work was the name of the game for this year’s marching band. First came the long hours of practice at band camp in Transfer, Pennsylvania. There were usually seven hours of practice a day, then two modules of marching and playing every day during school. The time was well spent, however, as they received invitations to perform from all over Ohio and Pennsylvania. The band also joined with the marching band from North High in a cooperative half-time show at a Cleveland Browns’game. The band has six routines, the most popular of which is the “bump”. The cardinal band was not only popular around the state, but also at our own field as they entertained many a fan at the football games. They also lended more than a little spirit when they played at the pep rallies. With directors Mr. Stalheim and Mr. Vowell to help them along, the Fighting Cardinal Marching Band has had a highly successful year. MHS 105 MAJORETTES AND DRUM MAJORS. ROW 1: T. Chupela, J.

MAJORETTES Had it not been for the Majorettes new alma mater routine, pep assemblies would have been dull. Innovating struts, flag routines, and individual routines also combined to lessen the Cardinal’s losing football season. Head majorette Margaret Petrick explains that this year each of the 8 girls was given an opportunity to contribute by composing a routine. Four hours of summer practice each week paid off when each senior majorette performed a fairwell solo at the Final home game, which included Lawrence Welk music complete with bubbles. Head drum major Carl Rickard and majorette Margaret Petrick also performed two Fire routines. MHS 106 mryt STAGE BAND. S. Price, J. Killmeyer, B. Haag, M. Baida, D. Falatach, D. Scharenberg, K.

Filip is taking a lot of the regular senior classes this year, such as English, American government, and Marriage and Family Living, along with Speech, Drama, Debate, and Photography. Besides attending AFS meetings, Filip keeps busy with his favorite sport skiing. Filip sometimes does wonder where people get their ideas about Sweden. What would you say if someone asked if polar bears ran around your backyard? Filip assures us that Sweden doesn’t have polar bears, however.

SOCCER— SECTIONAL CHAMPS The fall sport scene this year has definitely been dominated by the Soccer team. They coasted to a 10-1-3 record in dual matches, being unmatched in conference play. Mostly seniors made up the team, but the squad lose little if any power because of the upcoming juniors and sophomores. The J.V.’s boasted a 9-0-0 record at the close of the season. In post-season play, the Cards grabbed the sectional championship in three consecutive victories, but fell short to West Tech in the districts 1-2. MHS 168 ROW ONE: M. Romasoo, J. Funk, A. Schutt, M.

Walt was among hundreds of boys who tried out for the team, but only 15 were chosen. Later his efforts would advance him to be named one of eleven All Americans. Upon his making the team, he was able to travel to Germany with other American young men and not only gain a knowledge of German youth, but also compete with them on the field.

We were disappointing in the tournaments this year, but as far as the record speaks, they did have a great deal of talent.” With nine of the original twelve returning next year, they can’t help but maintain and improve their scores.

INJURIES AFFECT SEASON Although Coach Domokos and his team ended the year with a disappointing 2-7-1 season, there were many good aspects to come from the season. For example, they upset May-field with a fantastic effort (In pre-season Mayfield was picked to win the G.C.C. championship). Their other victory, against Brush, capped another tremendous effort. Coach Domokos suffered many frustrations as he saw his key players being sidelined by injuries. A1 Fox, captain of the team, sat out the entire season without playing a single game due to an injury.

The GIRLS’ FIELD HOCKEY team finished regular season play with 4 wins, 4 losses and 2 ties. The number of losses was somewhat disappointing due to the fact that the starting team had eight seniors who had been playing together since junior high. At the end of the season the team participated in the first field hockey tournament to be held in northeastern Ohio, and reached the finals in the consolation round only to lose to Hathaway Brown.

The team has chalked up nine individual championships, and has kept up their winning season for the fifthteenth straight year, finishing with a dual meet record of 5-2. This will remain in tact with the distance stars who are returning to the scene next year. Unlike most other competitive sports, a cross country meet is won by the team with the lowest score. The “guys” this year made sure they achieved that. The Mentor Squad added a female to its roster this year for the first time in its running history. The jogger, Vanessa Turi, has fit in well with team. She proved to the skeptics that the “lesser sex” is able to perform with their counterparts. ROW ONE: S. Ropcl, M. Kotrisica, M. Carnabuchi, C.

A split season has been conquered, and there is a bright outlook to the future. Commuting to a better pool facility and more time to work out has generated the enthusiasm that has carried the season. The team members boasted a divided record while bringing their times down respectably in the process. Coach Glaros, the backbone of the team, spent many long hours putting together a combination of lineups to stand against the opposition. The Cardinal swimmers have enjoyed a good year, and hopefully their success will encourage future teams to duplicate or better this season. Captains Dave and Bill ham it up prior to a meet.

Even though they were disappointed by their losses many of their defeats were very, very close. There is much to be said about those efforts. Congratulations Cagers for an excellent season!

In the first 10 games the young men won 3 and lost 7. However 5 of the loses were by only four points or less and two of those loses were in overtime games. Coach Goodman realizes that his young players have a lot to learn about basketball. He feels that with hard work during the summer months these sophomores will provide Mentor with a winning basketball program during their varsity careers.

The Girls’ Gymnastic team is looking foward to next year and understandably so, because as a first year team, gymnastics has been quite succesful. A few of their victories include Cleveland South, Willoughby South, and Euclid at class 111 competition. The twenty girls on the team compete in 4 areas of gymnastics: Floor exercise. Balance Beam, Uneven Bars and Vault. The strongest areas seem to be Floor exercise and Balance Beam as Mentor Gymnastics have often placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

Late last October, ground was broken behind the high school and construction ceased in November. The new building is multi-purpose, and it offers employment to vocational business students. This year the administration at the high school instituted a program so that sophomore parents could become familiar with the school. During school hours every few weeks, selected parents were invited to tour the school with Mrs. Hanrahan, Mr. Pierce, and Dr. Salmon as tour guides. Eventually all sophomore parents had this opportunity. Extracurricular activities played an important part in the student’s life. Coordinating those activities was Mr. Trus-so’s job. Every two weeks a meeting of Inter-club Council was held, and ideas were exchanged that helped all clubs. STARTING OVER, Mrs. Hanrahan and Ruth Korelcc (cafeteria manager) receive the Good Neighbor Food Service Award. Construction of the new administration building was completed in November.

The Bloodmobile visited January 27, and all those 17 or older were permitted to donate. It has often been said that Mentor High is too big, which causes a student to lose his individual identity. This problem is being corrected by unit offices. Late last May, blueprints were drawn up. The new structure would consist of 3 unit offices each with a principal, counselor, and secretary located at strategic points throughout the school. Also provided for, were a student council office and class officer offices. When students returned to school in September, these personnel were ready and willing to serve. The senior unit office located in A-wing consists of Mr. Goodwin (principal), Mr. Harmon (counselor), and Mrs. Codington (secretary). In order to devote full attention to the unit offices success, Mr. Goodwin relinquished his coaching duties this year. As one of its main projects, student council applied for an office, now in the senior unit office. Mr. Domokos (principal), Miss Panko (counselor), and Mrs. Cecil (secretary) situated in student center serve the class of ’77”. Following a years abscence, Miss Panko returned to MHS and assumed the job of counselor. Working closely with their unit office personnel, junior officers were able to have the Red Cross bloodmobile visit. A new addition to the staff, Mr. John Rintima acts as the sophomore principal. Mr. Rintama, came to us from Shore Junior High, where he previously held the position of assistant principal.

Despite the fact that Unit Offices were created, the Guidance department found plenty to do. Three Associate Counselors helped each student to review his credits towards graduation, choose courses, and make career decisions. Seniors, in particular, felt the Guidance Office was invaluable. ACT, SAT, and ATP testing was all handled through this office. Scholarship forms and grant applications could not have been distributed without this office. Every Honors English student faced the task of writing a term paper. The librarians offered topics, filmstrips, records, and books. Teachers also needed help, whether it be a special presentation or an outside activity planned for the student. The librarians visited American Government classes and explained the “leftness or rightness” of magazines which were later used for reading reports. When you had trouble with that film projector your teacher wanted you to use for viewing “Introduction to Chlorophyta”, who aleviated your troubles? That’s right, it was a librarian. Our secretaries did everything, from making appointments for students with administrators, to managing the bookstore, to making announcements over the PA system, to answering student questions about anything and everything! In many ways they were the “right arm” of their counterparts. o Patricia Leslie Secretary-Learning Center Karleen Chambers Asst.

MHS 213 In the world of social conflicts, generation gaps, and international crisis, a little understanding can work miracles. Students often criticize cultures unlike their own, but, through study, the criticism can be avoided. The purpose of world cultures and world affairs is to provide a basis for the correct comparison of the policies and way of life of different countries. All students must cope with family relations, now, and in possible future marriages. Simulated marriages set up by the students themselves help them understand the problems they would face in later real marriages. Appropriately, in the years of America’s bicentennial, students found out what was on the minds of the early colonists when the Constitution was written and were reminded that our government depends on everyone’s participation. Mr. Arthur Dickard and the League of Women Voter’s visited government classes to stimulate interest in both local and national affairs. Government teachers also placed emphasis on voting to prepare 18 year-olds for their first national election.

The Senior High Orthopedically Handicapped class is in its second year at Mentor High School.

At least not if you’re in one of the seventeen vocational programs at Mentor High. These programs enable students to learn a trade while completing their high school requirements. Vocational programs begin in the junior year and continue through the senior year. Time is divided between actual experience and related studies. A less technical portion of the vocational program can be witnessed by looking at the senior court windows decorated periodically by the pre-schoolers in child care. The horticulture classes provide the carnations for such school events as AFS carnation day. National Honor Society Induction and the sports carnations. The horticulture department supplied the plants in the Learning Center and cared for the plants and shrubs around the school. The auto body and auto mechanics classes enable students to perfect skills which are then applied to both student and faculty cars. After obtaining this preliminary training, students are encouraged to continue to learn and perfect their skills. Sue Black Business Math COE Margie Akiba Child Care Pat Daronc OWE OWE Eng.

Management Nancie Skonezncy General Homcmaking Sr. Home Economics Buying and maintaining a home can involve many problems, particularly if you don’t know how to sew or cook. These subjects and several others at MHS include men’s lib in their format. Both boys and girls work hand in hand, spatula in spatula, to prepare culinary delights. The thought of sewing can cause some people to shake their heads and laugh in doubt but not after a course at MHS. Sewing can be mastered through eight different courses by both boys and girls. In response to the student council mural painting program, the sewing room now boasts “The thread to originality is only a stitch away.’’ Many home economics students also participate in local fashion shows and contests.

Their duties were many and varied. They were to monitor student behavior and deter severe irregularities that occassionally disrupt normal school activity. These proved to be the main concern for the Para-Professionals, yet they were also called upon to help guide and council students who sought their advice.

Following a hard day on deck (classes), the galley was a good place to eat or just watch people. Three types of lunches were available: Basic for 50tf, Cardinal for 55tf, or a la carte!

Did anyone get the Girls’ Volleyball scores? Where is page 89? My pictures aren’t the right proportions! Who took the GAA pictures? What can I write about calculus? and HELP!! .. . were all the thoughts and shouts of frustrated staff members. Is it possible to spend 13 hours a day at school? Spending Saturday afternoons, Friday evening, and school nights working on yearbook definitely verify the fact. Following a week long summer yearbook workshop at Hiram College, the staff decided a change in style was necessary. In an effort to localize the Bicentennial, “Sailing towards Brighter Horizons’’ was chosen as the theme. During the 1800’s many lake captains made their homes on Headlands Road along the lake. Mentor, however, never held the position of a sailor’s town as did Fairport. Never-the-less our ancestors held a close association with Lake Erie, from her waters came entertainment, jobs, joy, sorrow, and a feeling of pride to be one of her wave swept treasurers.
