Spirit week kicked off the festivities with students dressing in school colors, their Sunday Best, and the most memorable, as NERDS. A traditional and enthusiastic assembly was organized to get the team ready for the game, and to present this years court and the announcement of who was chosen as Queen. Anticipa- tion mounted while waiting for the Seniors ' choice. Suzanne Kishman was crowned as the Queen, the members of the court included: Venessa Jefferies, Vikki Jobe, Amy Anton, Dawn Abel Bey, Melinda Prince, Vicki Vandenbosch. Lynda Brown. Dyan Hansen, Zenny Almariego, and Arnetta Peterson. The climax of the week was the football game. The team was to take on their big rivals. Catholic Central, the only city league contender left that had a chance to play spoiler. That evening the Indians proved themselves once again giving them a 6-0 City record and the City Title. The week closed with the dance on Saturday evening. This years theme was Stepping Out. Couples danced to music provided by River City Sound and Lights. Those attending were given a glass with the Homecoming theme imprinted as a me- mento of the evening. above — The Pom-Pon Squad dances to none other below — Some people will do almost anything to get than . . .

The game was played between a team of seniors and a faculty team. The teachers came out on top 16 to 8 after a fairly close game. The faculty team was made up of Mr. Briggs, Mrs. Boyd. Mr. Pasteur, Mr. Walker, Mr. Cannon, Mr. Vandermeer, Mr. Turkal, Mr. Smiley and Mr. Bolhuis. Mr. Vandermeer led the team with tough defense and six points. Mr. Turkal also did a good job and had six points as well. Mr. Cannon and Mr. Walker had one basket a piece to round out the teacher ' s scoring. The senior players seemed to spend most of their time trying to catch up to their donkeys. Jeff Williams never did catch his donkey and finally gave up. John Jimmerson played well for the seniors and scored 4 points. Mark Hopson and Javan Adams also made one basket each. Tickets for the game were $1.00 each and the money went to the senior class. The game was held during sixth hour and all students with tickets were excused from class to attend. The game was very entertaining and worth the price. The main purpose of the game and of the whole week was to spark interest for the Homecoming game. Everyone had fun at the game and throughout the whole week! above — Willie salutes 1 top right — What, we won! right — Marty tries to run it in, as Kathy smurfs in back, below — Here I come watch out! r r- Once every year on a cold brisk day, you ' ll find a crowd of people around the school track. What are they doing? Watching a football game, but not just any football, their watching Powder-Puff football. Powder-Puff is played by the Senior and Junior class girls. This year the senior girls won by a long shot, but the Juniors will have another chance to win next year. It ' s not a matter of winning or losing though, it ' s a matter of going out and having fun. Also to check out the cheerleaders and their sexy legs. So. if you didn ' t see it this year, make sure you don ' t miss it next year. You won ' t- be sorry. 3«?i- ' ■■- ' •-• ' ' ' -■ SV- fT Dance Company Seated: Itt row left-to-fight Jodie Cronkright, Tanya Perry, Kerry Tra- viss. Rachel!

This year Mrs. Harris turned out another group of talented dancers. The Talented and Sophisticated Dancers. (T.S. Danc- ers) This years squad was a melting pot of breakdancers. tap- dancers and electric boogaloos. The tapdancers included the talents of Brett Saunders, Barbara Bennett and Christoph Klein. This years team has performed at various functions including basketball games and the pep assemblies. The leaders of this very talented squad were Heather Drake (captain) Brian Broyles (captain) Trina-lris Harris (co-captain) and Lisa Partee (secretary). To be successful they had to practice very hard including returning to school on Saturday mornings. Some of the outstanding dancers were Bernard Macklin, Brian Droyles, Greg Vinson and Noel Webley. This years squad was special because one of the tapdancers, Christoph Klein was an exchange stu- dent from Germany. Rumor has it that this group might have been named after Mrs. Harris ' two daughters, but who knows?

Scarecrow, lion and Tinman Ease on Down the Road above: Scarecrow and Tinman were buddies. The Wiz, this year ' s musical was very fast paced and full of energy. Rodney Vaccaro directed it. He did an excellent job. The cast and crew worked very hard on this play. They began rehearsals on December 2nd from 3-6 p.m. Monday through Friday until opening night. Sometimes they re- hearsed from 6:30 to 9:30 right before opening night. The play lasted three days: The 28th of February and the 1st and 2nd of March. This play is very much like The Wizard of Oz. In The Wiz, Dorothy gets blown by a tornado to Oz. She then proceeds to find the wizard, and on the way, meets the lion, tin-man, and scarecrow just like in The Wizard of Oz. Though the story- line is the same, there are a few differences. For instance. The Wiz is modern, the lines are funnier, and the songs are faster. The costumes are more modern than in The Wizard of Oz. There are a few scene changes too. First, the yellow brick road is made up of people and second, the poppies are ladies of the evening. The actors and director are not the only reasons for a successful play. The stage crew and other technical jobs play a large part in the production. Tom Hough runs the lights and Mr. Sawyer handles the stage crew. Their jobs are very important to the play. Lighting takes skill and timing, if the timing is off it can hurt the play. The stage crew has, to handle the scene changes flawlessly, so the audience does not get restless. Bernard Macklin was the Wiz. He did a superb job. Kim Battle was a perfect Dorothy. Her friends were: Tim Reilly, the tin-man; Marvin Sapp, the scarecrow; and Tony Kilgo. as the lion. Each of those main characters played their part to perfection along witb everybody else in the cast. bove: The characters try to look happy. ight: Marvin, Kim, and Tim made the play great! above left: Mr. Sawyer worked very hard on The musical.

This years swirl was put on by the junior class. All of the finance was taken care of by ticket sales. As usual the ticket sales increased from last years price of six dollars to this years price of seven dollars. The dress was very well suited for the atmosphere. Overall the dance was extremely successful !!!!!!!!! above— Chuck sizzle be spiffi... above right — This dance it for all ages. (above left) Jim calls long distance.

Again this year, the school dances were very popular and a big success. Students really enjoy getting together with their friends and dancing to their favorite songs. The dances feature a variety of music ususally played by a live band or disc jockey. Dances usually last l-lVz hours and cost between $l.50-$2.5a : - Dances are sponsored by a number of groups who hope to make money while providing a good time for their friends.. Throughout the year, dances were sponsored by the CPS. the Varsity Club, the Yearbook Staff, the Music Department. Student Congress and all of the classes. All of the dances were well attended and the sponsors did pretty well. ' Some sponsors were creative and chose a theme fcif their dance. For instance, a Hawaiian dance or a more -dressier dance. Other ways of promoting interest included dance contests and prize giveaways. All of the dances went smoothly this year thanks to the excellent security provided by our administrators and cn- rity guards. They helped make our dances a safe place to have fun. (even though they always turn on the lights five minutes too early) Dances always have and always will be a-great place to celebrate a victory or just to have fun! the choir directors im- ' f % l This year the 1984-85 music department showed us a great year of spectacular music and talented groups of dancers and singers. Three events to mention are the Fall Concert, Cabaret, and the Holiday Concert, which were very well performed. The Fail Concert was an exciting event for the many who came, and for those who performed in the concert. Two of the many songs which were sung that evening were The Star Spangled Banner , and On Broadway. The show started at 8 pm on October 24. Students, parents, old, and young attended. For all it was a sight to see. On December 13 at 8 pm, Ottawa Hills was looking forward to the evening ahead. The special Holiday Concert brought out the holiday spirit in many. The winter program consisted of many fine singers. Three of the Christmas songs which were sung were Jingle Bells , It ' s Christmas Time Again, and Here Comes Santa Claus . The audience was pleased with the fine performance of the Ottawa Hills music department. Once a year the light is on those musicians who perform in Cabaret. Different than the usual concerts. Cabaret is a time of the year for those highly talented students. The night includes a special dinner for the parents and students who came to this special event. Cabaret is a special time for the directors as it is for the students. Cabaret is a program performed by choir members doing solos, duets, and trios. Instrumentalists are also involved in this program. A few of the many songs that ere: sung were Thriller , Glamorous Life , and The Greatest Love of Mine. Cabaret, Fall Concert, and the Holiday Concert, all with the help of the whole music department, show what spirit and pride is what Ottawa is all about. Salt and Pepper. A ' Cappella, Chorale, Freshman Choir, and Orchestra are fine examples of this. The directors were Mr. Huls, Mr. Sawyer, and Mr. Rower. The accompanyists wei-6 Brad Ballast, Mark Brown, Brad Brummer, Jennifer Yared. Jeff Cobb. Dave Cobb, Pam Carlon, Laura Carey, Dan Bradley and the Jazz Ensemble.

It ' s not moving. For the past many years Ottawa Hills has had the privi- lege of being involved with the Exchange Student Pro- gram. This year we had six students from four different countries. Many students like their stay here and enjoy going to Ottawa Hills High School. Some even wish they could live here. Marico, a student from Brazil is back to spend his senior year with us. Christoph Klein, whose from Germany, said Ottawa is a lot different from his home school, but it ' s a great experience. Christoph admitted he was nervous about going to a new country and school, but he said everyone was so friendly, it made him feel at home. I « ' ' 4 t 50 n The class of ' 85 showed leadership, determination, and a lot of personality. Realizing they were being looked upon to set examples for the other classes, they showed how educa- tion and fun tie together as one. Seniors Senior Class Officers The Senior Class Officers of the year 1985 are as follows: Lynda Brown (President) Suzanne Kishman (Vice President) Vikki Jobe (Secretary) Robert Metzger (Treasurer) The Senior Class Officers have done a lot for the Senior class. They have put lots of effort in making the Prom and Homecoming dances the best ever. They have also helped the Senior Class in making their last year of high school at Ottawa Hills the best possible. The senior class officers have made it possible for the seniors to have a night to remember. It is gradu- ation night. They have planned an all night party. The seniors board a bus and say good bye to their parents, and have a great time dancing, playing games, and eating great food. Most of all they can be with their friends. They have from 10:00 at night til 6:00 in the morning, but if they get too tired they can get back to Ottawa by 4:00. I ' m sure most people will stay out til 6:00 though, because it will be such a great time.

They are beauties and learned stu- dents, artists and athletes, philosphers and comedians. Al- though each of them are individually distinguished from one another by their personalities, they share the enthusiastic bend of spirit. 70 Juniors Jolly Ju niors Well, they finally made the move from lower to upperclassmen. This awesome class of 1986 has been said to be one of the most spirited Junior classes ever. They participated in many different ath- letic as well as extra curricular activities. A successful Junior Review was one of the biggest projects they had all year. Powder-Puff Football, which resulted in a six to fourteen loss, was another popular event. Along with putting up numerous fights for the spirit stick, the Juniors also created a first place Homecoming float. The class officers for the 1984-85 Junior class were: President, Christie Veen- Kamp; Vice President, Julie Meridith; Secretary, Kristi Ferrantej and Treasurer, Michael Hopson. The class advisor, Mr. Cannon, did a great job of getting the Juniors together and organized. Look out for the soon to be Seniors.

As Freshman they were involved with numerous extracurri- cular and academic activities and again as Sophomores they are leading the way. The 1984-1985 Officers are: President — Kristi Shook, Vice President — Lisa Partee, Secretary — Sue Pheifer, Treasur- er — Beth Hackman. These officers have shown over and over their responsibility and concern for Ottawa. We hope the Sophomores will continue to show school spirit and pride and prove it in their sports and academic achieve- ments. Sophomores are a fine example of what Ottawa is all about!

They were determined from the start to make a good impression on the rest of the school. They had to face a lot of problems at the beginning of the year. First and probably the biggest was the teacher ' s strike. Anybody that has gone through high school at Ottawa or at any other high school knows how scary and fright- ening the first couple of days can be. But what the strike brought was a whole oth- er part of confusion to the minor confu- sion of a regular first day of school. So far they have adapted pretty well. They, the Freshmen have shown a whole lot of school spirit at the first cou- ple of pep assemblies, and have shown up in great numbers to support the city league champions in football, not to men- tion all of the other sporting events that take place at Ottawa. All in all this year the Freshmen class has performed pretty well. They have lived up to the ex pectations that have been set by others. We as the other part of the school hope that they keep up the great work. GOOD LUCK CLASS OF 88.

Ottawa has dominated the city league in basically all of the different sports events. We have also won the all sports trophy many times in the last decade. The trophy is just the icing on the cake for ail of the hard work that the kids in the events have done. It is all a part of the dynasty that has been built at Ottawa. Football, baseball, and basketball have produced .-nany of the City league championships. Considered by many to be the three main sports that really say a lot for the school. But not only h,ave these championships come in those sports but they have come in many of the other sports, ranging from hockey to tennis. All of the success is due greatly to the hard v ork and ail of the determination of the participants. Congratulations and con- tinued success. m ¥ 4 ■¥• ' $k: Cm.-..- ..;, . | w 98 i 100 Varsity. Football Electrifying The 1984 Varsity Football Team proved how supreme they really were when they captured the city title this year. The team was coached by Jerry Dutcher, Stan Spetosky, and Steve Turkal and lead by team captains Mike Waalkes and Gerald Harvey. The season started off a little shakey when they played their largest rivals — East Grand Rapids. The game was score- less for the Indians and East Grand Rapids won that night with the score of 16 to 0. After the east game though. The Big O played Union High which was their first victory of the season and certainly not to be the last. Another well deserved win was OHHS played West Catholic and electrified them with the score of 21 to 7. And one more game that set Ottawa ' s fans on their feet was when the Indians played the Polar Bears Of Creston High and defeated them with a score of 39 to 6. Players who showed excellent sports- manship and abilities were: Hue Martin Robinson, Gerald Harvey, Arlen Gaddy, Mike Waalkes, Tony Clark, James Jen- nings, Tom Zain, and Mark Hopson. This was an outstanding team this past season and we hope to have one like it again next year. They were a united group of young men with seniors showing support and leadership as they backed up the team even when things weren ' t going their way. It was an excellent season but the team will long be remembered for its sportsmanship, desire and school spirit.

There were many fine players that helped lead the team along. These players will make the J.V. football team of next year outstanding, as Ottawas football teams always are. The J.V. guys showed us their determi- nation at the beginning of the season when they tried with E.G.R. That just might have been one of the best games that they played. A lot of credit goes to the coaches Jim Burns and Demonte Jackson. These coaches taught the team not only skills, but to go out there and do their best.

The Varsity Cheerleaders took on the season with enthusiasm and high spirits. The football team really loved their sup- port on the side-lines. The games would not have been near as good as they were if it had not been for the cheerleaders cheering for the team. The team did an excellent job throughout the season and proved that they could do almost any- thing. One of the cheerleaders, Kelly Van- Dyke, and an injury. The team lost an excellent cheerleader, but Kelly still sup- ported the team in fund raisers and in giving them special support. Thanks Kelly. Left Cindy rests on Sheri ' s broad shoulder.

The team was coached by Joeann Schanz who kept the team on the right track. The Junior Varsity Cheerleaders participated in the Homecoming game. They also cheered in the many pep assemblies help- ing to keep up the school spirit and sportsmanship of Ottawa Hills High School. The cheerleaders put in many hours of practicing routines and formations. Most of the cheerleaders on the Junior Varsity team have been on a cheerleading team before. The cheerleaders also put in many hours at Cheerleading Camp during the summer. Camp is not easy but the excel- lent job they do cheering really makes all of the work worth it. We hope to see all of the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders on the Varsity team next year. Top: Kim Laufman, Michelle Martinez. Mona Clark Boffom- Robin Meyers, Lisa Partee.

The Freshmen football play- ers all agree that it helped them when they were not on the field to look over at the bench and see those pretty girls cheering them to victory. The 1984-85 Freshmen Cheering Team consisted of Jodi Cronkright, Danielle Jimmerson, Cindy Stilley, Kerry Travis, Heather Dutcher, Kishha Williams, Kim Simmons, Michelle Henderson, Cindy Thomson, Lisa Baarda, and Tanya Perry. These eleven girls started the year new to Ottawa Hills but as the year went by they began to show their talent and fit right in with the crowd. fop- kishha Williams, Kim Simmons, Michelle Henderson Bottom: Cindy Thomson, Lisa Baarda, Tanya Perry, Heather Dutcher, Cindy Stilley, Kerry Travis Top: Miss Simmons concentrates on her cheer Top right: Lisa and Kim take a breather.

Although the team is mostly made up of underclassmen they are a strong part of the team. The coach, Mrs. Sue Neat was out for half the season because of back surgery. This was a big blow to the team. As the season went on the team got bet- ter. Junior Laura Block was an example. She broke many records such as 200 m., 100 m., and the individual medely. Heather Dutcher, also made the State Re- gionals this year for diving. As a tribute to Mrs. Neat, the Christian game was dedicated to her. When Mrs. Neat was out, volunteers: her daughter, Linda Neat, Coach Briggs, and Mr. Gary Williams, a counselor here at Ottawa, helped a considerable amount. On the team there is one senior, five juniors and the rest are underclassmen. Captain is Heather Duncanson, Co-cap- tains — Laura Block and Jamie Haskins. Rookies of the year — Heather Dutcher and Amy Adair. The divers on the team are Heather Dutcher, Stacy Williams, and Jodie Cronkright. We will be expecting a lot from the underclassmen in the future.

The team, com- posed mainly of juniors and a few under- classmen, didn ' t play quite up to pre-sea- son expectations. Beating only Central in league play, the squad finished sixth in the city. However, at the City Tournament, the team showed a little of the talent they hope will carry them to a city title next year. While finishing sixth, they were only six strokes away from third place. John Edieman led the team and finished fourth overall in the City League with an 81. Jon March was next with an 86, Mark Whitwer and Mike Ghareeb each shot 91, and Todd Bowman came in with a 97. At the Class A Regional, the team came in 15th out of a field of 18. Again, John Edieman led the way with an 85. Mike Ghareeb and Jon March were next with 85 and 87 respectively. They were fol- lowed by Todd Bowman with 90, and Mark Whitwer who shot 94. John Edieman, one of the team ' s six juniors, was captain of the team this year. John was consistently the best player and shot the lowest scores all year long. Ju- niors Todd Bowman, Mike Ghareeb, Jon March, Brad Versluis, and Mark Whitwer also contributed greatly. Underclassmen Greg Schwaderer and Greg VandenBosch show much potential and are sure to be heard from in the coming years. Coach Dan Brink feels that if the team can combine the experience they gained this year, with a lot of practice and tour- nament play over the summer, they have a real chance at the City and Regional titles next year. r ■ -« ' Greg coaxes the ball to the green.  V (left) Todd shows great concentration and keep his head down on this chip shot.

Finishing 4th in the dual meet, it was considered an average year but with excellent talent. The finishing spot of 4th is somewhat deceiving be- cause of the fact that they actually fin- ished 3rd but were placed 4th because they had to forfeit one match because of an illegal runner. Actually this year ' s season was sort of a rebuilding year seeing that many run- ners who have great potential are juniors. Among those are: Damon Black a possible all-city runner, Bernard Macklin, a very talented but somewhat unmotivated cross-countrier, and finally, a very good transfer from East Grand Rapids High School named Jason Thomas. While the team was lead by a senior, Don Hoezee who also is a possible all-city man, those juniors will he a big asset to the squad next year. The 84 team was made up of 18 people, two of them being girls. They were coached by a seasoned runner himself, Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones says that they did alright but could have done better. He felt that they could have finished 2nd only to Catholic Central who is far and beyond the best team in the city. Mr. Jones also specifies that the team could have been a lot better if some potentially great runners would work harder. As it turned out, only two on the team really worked. They are Damon Black and Don Hoezee, the two all-city candidates. To sum it up, this year ' s cross-country team had its ups and downs, but overall they performed acequately as a team.

A 1-5 city league record and a I- 10 overall record, plus a sixth place finish was below expectations. Losing 4-3 on three occasions to Christian, Jennison, and Calvin Christian made their record a little deceiving. Playing number one singles, Katie Ver- beek was second in team wins with sev- en. Mary Kragt, who played second sin- gles, won the most times with sixteen victories. Andrea Bander, a senior, played exceptionally well but had some tough losses. In the fourth spot senior Vicki VandenBosch played fine tennis, but lost some close matches. Laura Gib- son and Betsy Bylsma led the team in doubles play with nine wins. Junior-fresh- man combination Maria Matheny and Jennifer Cornetit played very strong in the second doubles spot. Playing third doubles, sophomore Audrey Ayoub and freshman Josalyn Seitz, did a great job. There were a couple of standout per- formances at regionals. Mary Kragt stroked her way to the semi-finals, but then was defeated in a close match. Laura Gibson and Betsy Bylsma dominated their opponents, but were stopped in the semi ' s in three sets. This team has a great future. It will be a very young team and it will have to de- pend on the leadership of players like Laura Gibson and Maria Matheny, who will be seniors next year. They can de- pend on young talent like Jennifer Corne- tit and Josalyn Seitz. Returning players Betsy Bylsma and Audrey Ayoub will also be a great addition to the team. -rtcr ,:..

So far their success has been due greatly to the depth of the team. All through the year the starters have been awesome, but if they ever run into trouble they will be backed up by the rest of the team. Al- though the people that do not start do not play all that often they are good basket- ball players and could come in and do the job. Last year ' s team made it to the State semi-finals. This year ' s team is expected to go farther. They have already equalled preseason expectations and are expected to make a strong bid to get to this year ' s State finals. The team is ranked 5th in the state in Class A. They are 6-0 in the City, and finished with city league play undefeat- ed. Not only are they undefeated in the City League, but they also have a perfect record overall. That ' s quite an accom- plishment. The team is led by senior, Arnetta Pe- terson; juniors Lisa Reynolds, Dorothy Harris, Tanya Powell, and sophomore, Dede Jimmerson. This year they have averaged 65 points a game while only giv- ing up 34 points per game. Their only close game of the season came early in a 4 point win over Muskegon Hts, 51 to 47. Other than that one close game they have beaten all the rest of the teams by a whopping average of 30 points. Veteran coach, Camille Carter thinks one of the teams stronger points is their quickness. She says the thing that sur- prises all the teams is that it ' s not only from the guards but from her front line. (aboy e) Tonya extends for the basket. including 5 ' H Lisa Reynolds; 5 ' 10 Tanya Powell; and 5 ' 7 Arnetta Peterson. This is one of the tallest front lines in the state. The team works together as a group but if one person were singled out, with the greatest accomplishment, it would probably be their center, Lisa Reynolds. She has the highest average on the team in both scoring and rebounding. Not only is she good on offense but she has proven to be dominant in the middle defensively, blocking shots and intimidating opposing players. GOOD LUCK, GIRLS!! Oett) Everyone waits for the ball.

If the team plays as well as they can they will fit in well with next years varsity teams. They have shown a lot of hard work and determination from the beginning of the season. Sweating it out at all of the practices, working hard to make a good impres- sion at the first game of the season. This year it has all payed off. They have a city league record of 3-4 and are 5-5 overall. The way they have played is not evident in what their record says. The thing is that coach Weddle knows that his team has not yet played up to their full potential. What the team lacked this year was a team spark plug. One that could inspire the team in low times and get the team excited in times of joy. One that could keep them going. The team is led by a number of different people. They all fit together at different skills and positions. Melodie Blair, a freshmen had proven to be a good rebounder. Tammy Mcfall thoughout the season has shown a lot of leadership as the teams point guard. Laura Carey is also a good leader on the court. She is one of the girls that was on last years team. This year she has used that to add experience to the team. Bottom (from left to right) Tammy McFall, Stacy Williams. Melinda Hopson. Judy Carey Top (from left to right) Laura Carey.

Freshmen Basketball This years 1984-85 girls freshman bas- ketball team, coached by Mr. Louis Dean, had a very disappointing season. The twelve players on the team were inexpe- rienced, but they wre still determined to win. Mr. Dean spent a lot of his time working out the teams weak spots and trying to teach them the basic tech- niques. Tara Howard, Christine Gray, and Crystal Jackson, had the most outstand- ing improvement during their practices, and they are expected to improve even more next year. The 1984-85 freshmen team consisted of the following, Tara Howard, Christal Jackson, Christine Gray, Carla Jackson, Sharon Weather- shoe, Regina Washington, Ester Knoestr, Tamika LittleJohn, Dartina Brown, Julie Everett, Trina Marsh, and Marjorie Du- boise. The team understood the basic fundamentals, and they learned more about the game as their season went on. This team had a lot of potential and they will improve throughout their years to go to Varsity. ■■ If TS I Varsity il occer X OHHS Champs Congratulations to the new 84-85 City Title Champs. This year Ottawa ' s Varsity Soccer Team claimed the City Title. With their strategic effort in most of the games, Ottawa wiped out the Polar Bears in both games. Each one was won with the score of 7-0 in the end. This was an example of what Ottawa Hills High School is all about in academics and extracurricular activi- ties. During the soccer season, the Indians have shown pride and spirit. They have shown pride and spirit with their great effort as a team, which only has four Sen- iors and seven Juniors. The rest of the team is made up of Sophomores, who are vital to the team as a whole. The team was coached by Mr. Adam Streital, the former coach of the Varsity Team. As a coach last year, Coach Streital knows the strong and weak points of his team as he watched his team progress. Since soccer is made up of team work it is very important that the coach and his team work as one. The manager of the team was David Kingsworthy, who is in eleventh grade. He helped the team as much as possible with the coach as his supervisor. This shows the O.H.H.S. is not only number one in the city, but number one all around, as a team.

They played extremely well. The J.V. team had three Sophomores and one Freshman. The rest of the team was made up of Seniors and Juniors who were also vital to the J.V. team. Several of the Soph- omores played on the Varsity team as well as the J.V. team! With a lot of hard team work and sweat, the J.V. team came out with a 5- Win, 4-Loss and l-Tie. The coach of the J.V. team, who also coaches Varsity, has been working for Ottawa Hills High School ever since there was a soccer team. The soccer team at Ottawa was started in 1978. Coach Adam Streitel is a great asset to the team! He has watched his players pro- gress over the years. This is very impor- tant for a coach and his players. Every player on the team is important, even though some are better skilled than others. Soccer is all abo ut team work. As Varsity has shown, they have progressed from Freshmen and Sophmores. We feel the Junior Varsity team will also progress. OHHS hopes they will keep up their school spirit and pride shown at every game and let it be known what the Indi- ans can do!

Wrestling The 84-85 junior varsity wrestling team looks very promising. There are more people on the JV team than there are on the varsity. The team is mainly made up of sophomores but there are a few good freshman who contribute. This team, like the varsity, is coached by veteran wrestler Pete Lee. Pete is very happy with the participation of this group. He thinks that this group of young men could go far and possibly finish sec- ond or maybe even win it (the city league). West Catholic ' s team is probably the best team but if we can get a little lucky it is possible to beat them. To sum it up, the 1984-85 junior varsity wrestling team looks very promising and should be a great tribute to the varsity squad in the future years. They may even be able to accomplish some very exciting feats of which Ottawa Hills has never seen in the sport of wrestling. top — Coach Owens, Chuck Jones bottom — Pudge O ' Rourke, Todd Riva, Joe Bazell, Terry VanHorn left — My goy is getting off. top — An Ottawa Wrestler is getting dogged. left — Chuckle boy throws a tough grapple. Varrsity Wrestling Few But Strong This year ' s wrestling team seems to be shaping up good. They have some talent but laci in numbers. Their star is a 198 pound senior by the name of Jerald Har- vey. He has the strength of an ox mixed with the quickness of a cricket. Jerald also starred on the city championship football team. Also on the supporting class is a very good 112 pound junior named Mike Garcia. He has good exper- ience with unbelieveable quickness. He also wrestles with great desire. Two more hopeful wrestlers are the VanHorn broth- ers, Joe and Terry. They didn ' t go to school here last year but are expected to be helpful to this years team. The 84-85 squad is coached by a veter- an super heavy-weight wrestler, Pete Lee. Pete who was very close to qualifying for the Los Angeles Olympic Games brings his experience to the mats everyday. He is helped out by a 3 time national AAU champion known only as Gifford. To- gether these two experienced veterans help the team immensely. In conclusion, this years team ought t o go far with the help of their two one-time great coaches. 126 Ottawa 12 West Catholic 42 Ottawa 18 Union 36 Ottawa 12 Creston 36 Ottawa 12 Catholic 42 Ottawa 18 Christian 18 Ottawa 36 Central 12 above — Mike pins an opponent. righl — Some wrestlers stretch out before a match. 127 Varsity Hockey Quickness And Skill This years Varsity hockey team is look- ing towards a 3rd. or 4th. place finish. They look promising but just can ' t seem to get their act together. They have two good senior skaters, Tom Olsen and John Mangus. Tom who has been skating since he was 3 years old, made the all-area team last year as a junior and is a shoe in for this years all-area squad. John, who received very few honors last year as a junior, has improved immensely and is expected to be on the all-area team this year. The coach. Rick Jensen, who is in his 9th. year of coaching had a few things to say about his 84-85 skaters. They ' re good skaters with a lot of enthusiasm and they ' re very hard workers. We ' re lacking a little talent but make up for it with hustle, says coach Jensen. Goalkeeping seems to be the teams main weakness this year. Their goalkeep- er Jav Wagenka plays with a lot of heart but lacks the experience necessary to be a top notch goalie. In conclusion, the team is a hardwork- ing, caring, and enthusiastic team. Hope- fully next year they can look forward to a higher finish and maybe even a title. above — Must be a hot number in the front row. below — These skaters ' eyes are really fixed on that puck. 128 Ottawa 6 Union jT . ■fi Ottawa 2 Christian 7 Ottawa Kentwood 13 Ottawa 2 Central 6 Ottawa 3 Northview -. 3 Ottawa 3 Creston t Ottawa 6 W.

The team had a great year and every- one ' s expectations were fulfilled. Throughout the year the team was led by John Jimmerson and Kevin Brown. Both received numerous post-season honors. Jimmerson and Brown were solid leaders and performers that made up a good nu- cleus for the team. Ben Ivy was the team ' s sparkplug this year and played key roles in many of the team ' s victories. Ivy still has his senior year remaining and is sure to be heard from in the future. Another junior, Darryl Smith, played well above everyone ' s ex- pectations and did an excellent job of complementing Jimmerson and Brown. Sophomore guard, Michael Davenport, showed that playing basketball comes naturally to him and with some exper- ience under his belt, he could go on to be one of Ottawa ' s finest guards. Seniors Art Garner and Willie Jones played well this year and gave the team some leader- ship and experience. above — Kevin Brown outleaps Brad Sutton and wins the tip. left — Jimmerson shows his ability with another great move to the basket. 130 Ottawa SS Holland 46 Ottawa 91 Union 93 Ottawa- 77 West Catholic 63 Ottawa 73 Lansing Sexton 68 Ottawa 59 Creston 55 Ottawa 57 Catholic Central 55 Ottawa 54 Central 45 Ottawa 74 Grandville 73 Ottawa 78 74 ' Christian 58 Ottawa ' Crestor) _« West Cathol 78 Ottawa 90 55 Ottawa 78 Union 80 Ottawa 74 K entral ■73 Ottawa -84 • JCTsion 53 Ottawa sol E.G.R. , 66 Ottawa 64 I Catholic Central 1 62 Ottawa 64 ■ Central „ ChristiarA r 44 Ottawa 90 1 72 ttawa SO 1 Grand Haven Creston 82 78 TPttawa 84 T .

IIIIHf Basketball The 1984-1985 Junior Varsity team was successful despite a few minor setbacks. Sophomore Michael Davenport was pulled up to the varsity at the start of the year and another sophomore, Myron Trumble, was brought up later in the year. Sopho- mores Bob Strobel, Dave Tutas, and Jeff Olsen were the team leaders along with Trumble. After a couple of close losses in the early going, the team regrouped to come on strong and finish in great style. The team united well and showed signs of greatness. Many of the players will surely go on to big roles with the varsity in coming years.

The players at the freshman level gain valuable exper- ience while learning the basic fundamen- tals of the game. This year ' s team con- tained a number of players who are sure to play key roles on the varsity in years to come. Their only losses of the year came from Catholic Central. This winning season will help their future varsity players gain the winning attitude they need to play on a varsity team. The varsity team pays close attention to their future returns for one with outstanding ability may be moved up to Junior varsity or even varsity.

She is doing a fine job. Mrs. Smith says the team works very hard at each practice. It has paid off because the squad competed at the Badgerette Clinic. They won first place in originality and second place in tap. The varsity pompon squad performs at pep assemblies and at halftime of varsity basketball games. They have certainly put on some super performances at those events. The team is made up mainly of sopho- mores, but there are three juniors and one senior. Mia Broyles, a junior, is the captain and an able leader. The two captains of routines are sophomores Ke- nya Smith and Sharrilyn Redmond, they do a terrific job. Mrs. Smith says this is a very young and talented group. She says they work hard on their routines and are all very fine dancers. They do diffi- cult routines almost flawlessly. We can look forward to next year be- cause we have a very young team. Only Vicki Purnell, a senior, is leaving because of graduation. The whole team is left intact except for that filled by one of the up and coming JV members.

They are the JV pom-pon squad. Mrs. Smith is this years new supervisor of JV pom-pons. She is doing an excellent coaching job. The team is led by captain Stephanie Triplett and co-captain Dina Crittenden. Mrs. Smith says that they are a very hard-working group of students. They are learning a lot this year, she says. Dancing is a big part of pom pons and they have a great talent in that depart- ment. We can look to the future and see some extremely exciting pompon squads. If there are any gaps left on the varsity, the JV should be able to fill them right up. above left — Practicing for the big game. above right — Kicking their heels. above — A new routine. above — Doin ' her routine with style. left — Waddling down the floor. above — How high can they kick. 136 above — Smiling for the crowd. top row — Tina Wittington.

This year ' s boys swimming team looked forward to a promising year. The team as a whole is in the middle of a rebuilding year. The team is made up of mostly underclassmen. After last year ' s loss of a lot of key swimmers the under- classmen are going to have to help those more experienced. The team is led by senior swimmer Jeff WilliamSi Mark Welscott, Jon March, Scott Schelling, all juniors and sophomore, Joel Buchanan. All of these boys were leaders last year and are going to have to continue this year for the team to be successful. The team started out the year with a couple of tough close losses. In the mind of coach Gary Williams, it helped the team more than hurt them. The teams they swam against were very good and a loss did not look bad on their record. All of the eai-lier meets helped prepare for the tough City League meets that were to come. The swimming team ' s toughest challenge will come from last year ' s City League champion, Creston, who stripped them of their 7 year reign as the City Champions. Ail of this year ' s swimming will be very exciting and very intense. We as Ottawa supporters are hoping that this year ' s team will come out a length ahead of the rest of the teams!

The team had four return- ing gymnasts to give the Indians a strong backbone. These girls are senior. Sue San- derson, junior, Laura Gibson, and sopho- mores, Leslie Jones and Paula Visser. The remaining five gymnasts are Jodi Cronk- right, Heather Dutcher, Jill Smith, Mindy Greenlee, and Monica Wiltjer. Mary Welch, the coach of the team, has been coaching at Ottawa Hills for three years. As a coach, she watches the progress of the team. She watches their strong and weak points, as well as the qualities of each individual in particular. When she sees weak spots, she helps the girls improve where possible. Gymnasts rely a great deal upon their coach for guidance and support. Mary Welch, is a great asset to her team. Even though gymnastics is not focused on as much as the gymnastics team would like, there has been a considerable amount of improvement of attendance at the meets. As Gymnastics is fast becom- ing a very popular sport. As it is now, there are no Mary Lou Rettons at Ottawa Hills but we are very pleased with the great amount of work and effort put fourth by the gymnastics teams. Keep up the good work! above — Leslie on the horse as coach Mary Welch looks on. left — Sue Sanderson showing her balance. above — Mindy Greenlee watching a routine done by one of the girls.

The team has lost some valuable players, which has considerably hurt the team, yet they con- tinue to fight. This year has been disap- pointing for the team, but has been a rebuilding year. Sophomores Kim Hui- zinga and Amy Rakowski have been moved up to Varsity to help fill gaps left from lost members. There are only two seniors on the team this year, Arnetta Peterson and Johanna Soet. Both will be missed next year, but the J.V. players soon to be on the Varsity team show a-lot of promise. Coach Neat who has been coaching volleyball for one year now, feels the team hasn ' t exceeded to the full extent of their abilities. The team has had a dif- ficult year. The team has spirit and keeps trying. Coach Neat was out of town for two weeks in which her daughter, Linda Neat, graciously helped out with the team. Ottawa Hills is looking forward to see- ing the same school spirit and team work that has been traditional of Ottawa Hills. Good Luck next year and Ottawa hopes to see a great Varsity team next year. 142 HP We They Mona bhores 5 15 15 II 10 15 W.

Their coach, Mrs. Anderson and the team will be going to volleyball camp this summer. The camp will help both players who will go to Varsity and the J.V. Congratulations, and good luck in fu- ture years on Ottawa Hills Volleyball teams. During some games, the J.V. team was able to help out the Varsity team this year. Helping in the city tournament J.V. was a great help in supporting the team. Jana Hartman was moved up to varsity in the middle of the season. Helping the Varsity team has partially prepared some of the J.V. players for Varsity in years to come. left — Julie Love spikes to Central. above — Tara bumps the ball. 144 Creston Union Central Union Central i e They 14 16 15 9 II 15 4 15 8 15 5 15 1! 15 II 15 15 5 8 15 10 15 4 I5 - Frosh Volleyball The 1984-85 Girls Freshmen Volleyball Team has had an interesting season.

The All Sports Trophy has been at Ottawa Hills the last three years and a total of 19 years for the boys. The girls have also won this trophy the last two of three years. This last year was especially great; for we had eight team champions and numerous individual All City awards. These individuals take great pride in their achievements for the school. They also are very deserving of their awards, for they have put much time and effort in to reach such lofty goals. — G. Harvey — D. Edwards — M. Waalkes — D. Smith - — H.

WW 152 Organizations in and associated with Ottawa Hills were very helpful throughout the scholastic year. They performed many services ranging from dances to cookie sales. Furthermore, they were extremely helpful with giving kids something to do. The major organizations this year were; Varsity Ciub. CPS, BOEC, Legend, Executive Board, Student Congress, and ROTC. We should be very happy, here at Ottawa to have such great organizations to be a part of. Also there is a great tradition of these organizations which goes way back to when the school was located where Iroquois Middle is now. All of us that attend Ottawa should be thankful lo the advi- sors of these organizations for keeping them running along so smoothly. Overall, organizations are a great asset to high school stu- dents and all of us. if possible, you should try to become a pari of one of the many organizations. ' •Si Sound Of Power Marching Band consists of students from ninth to twelth grade who have had previous musical experience. They are coordinated by the director to perform intricate marching maneuvers while si- multaneously playing an instrument. Dance routines are created to highlight the music and one of the unique aspects of the Ottawa Hills band is their ability to dance and play at the same time. Mr. James Sawyer and Mr. Huls spent a lot of their time before, during, and after school to make special routines for the half time shows. There were four stu- dents who helped Mr. Sawyer and Mr. Huls by keeping the band organized.

Keeps In Tune This year ' s 1984-85 Orchestra had an- other great year. The Orchestra consist- ed of strings, woodwinds, brass and per- cussion. They played many types of mu- sic especially Classical. The students worked very hard to improve their skills and playing ability. The Orchestra par- ticipated in many concerts, tours, and activities. This year there was a one day retreat for rehearsal and fun. Also they raised money for a trip to Chicago where they were involved in an Orchestra festi- val. We hope to see some of them back again next year with the same great tal- ent. above left — Brian shows us his studly look.

The Chorale per- formed a wide variety of music from pop to vocal jazz. This years Chorale was made up of a great group of guys and girls. They all put in many hard hours and sometimes had to sacrifice some of their own free time. The 1984-85 Chorale led by Dennis Rower and Mark Dievendorf, had a very successful year. above right — The group keeps up on the days gossip. right — Wake up Laura. m .1 •iNI ® 160 First Row — Lisa Couch.

In debate there are two sides, affirmative and negative, who present their cases. These two sides present analized evi- dence to convince a judge that their side is correct. In the beginning the team had a hard time convincing the judge their side was right, but Rob Metzger and Tra- cey Pastuer turned the team around for a win. The team finished up the season with an impressive city record, and a lot of thanks towards Mr. Beattie who helped them out tremendously. above — Is this the one I ' m suppose to read? below — Brad gets into his work.

This years CP § S had a very successful year by helping out in many different activities. For Thanksgiv- ing and Christmas, this group had gotten together and passed out food baskets to the needy. They also had a food drive (with a little help from Student Congress) and a couple of dances during the holiday seasons to help raise money for ucoming events. This group has been together for nine years now and has been successful every year. The advisor for this club was Jeanette Carter, the administrative advi- sor was Mr. Ernest Louie Pasteur. This was Jeanette Carter ' s first year with CP £ S and this is Mr. Pasteur ' s third year. This years executive board were as fol- lows: President — Willie Oliver Vice President — Tracy Pasteur Secretary — Mia Broyles Treasurer — Nichole Drake Sergent Of Arms — Bernard Macklin Every Wednesday CP S S held meet- ings at lunch to discuss both new and old issues. One of the issues they discussed was when to have dances. One of the dances that CP S S sponsored was after the Ottawa vs. Union basketball game, since it was a great success last year. All of these people did an excellent job and we hope they and the club will keep up their continious success. (above) Tracy poses for her picture.

They were demonstrative in dances, sales, and just plain help to the school. The Student Congress officers were; Tom Olsson — President. Rob Metzger — Vice Presi- dent, Heidi Hertel — Secretary, and final- ly, Melissa Tenhave — Treasurer. These four people were great leaders and were very responsible for the well being of the group. This years advisor, Ed Shalhoup, helped out a lot by being present at all group functions and meetings. Jon March an llth grade student congress member says of Shalhoup, He let the students run the show rather than him doing most of the work. This helped the students by giving them a sense of responsibility. Overall the group was very prominent throughout the scholastic year. They helped make the difficulties that occur every year in school seem to pass much easier. We, the rest of the student body, would like to thank them for their efforts.

Each month two students are selected to be the two best students of that month. The selections are based on grades, per- sonality, and by the extra time the stu- dent spends helping the school. The ma- jority of the time one girl and one boy are elected each month, although it could be that two guys or two girls are elected in the same month. The selections are not limited to just seniors, underclassmen are equally compatable for the Student of the Month award. The students will receive a plaque from the Board of Education stat- ing that they were elected student of the month for a certain month. All of the stu- dents elected Student of the Month felt honered to receive the award. These stu- dents all earned this award and thanks to them the school year went much smooth- er.

These students met, and well passed this crite- ria. To be inducted into the National Hon- or Society is a great accomplishment, and something to be very proud of. Those chosen are looked up to and admired by many other students. The National Honor Society is something that will stay with and benefit a person for the rest of their life. The people in charge, Mrs. Potter, and Mrs. Starkwhether, did a fine job in organizing the whole thing. Congratula- tions to all those accepted. above — Audrey.

The Store benefits everyone. For the students who work there, the store is a class in which they learn how to use cash registers, keep track of profits and debts and bills. For the rest of Ottawa Hills, it means candy, drinks and almost any snack one could ask for. School spirit stuff such as sweatshirts, T-shirts, shorts, and duf f lebags are also sold there. It probably can go unsaid how much the students at Ottawa Hills need the School Store. To them, it ' s a way of survival. m ®1 •1=11 above — Tony gives us his innocent look. below — Our staff is very energetic. m 172 Back Row: Matt Geelhold. Dawn Strenzel, Cathy Harris. Larissa Holt.

It is based on military organization and teaches military subjects, such asj marks- manship, military history, map reading, first aid, drill and teaching. A student may have this course throughout his four years at high school. Three years of R.O.T.C. will result in a one grade promo- tion if cadets enlist in the army after graduating from high school. The R.O.T.C. also offers extra activities such as drill teams, color guards, and rangers units. Ottawa ' s drill teams have been the city drill champions for the past thirteen years straight, also four time state champs, and one time national champi- ons. All uniforms and equipment are fur- nished by the department. This course is offered to all students male or female and is worth ten credits per year. Further- more, R.O.T.C. can be substituted for physical education class. The taking of this course does not require anyone to enter the military service. The instruc- tors are, LSG.

To join you have to have a business related class. BOEC is a business club where the members learn how to handle business situations. They do a lot of hard work in BOEC and they have ad- visors that help them maintain their busi- ness club. The advisors also help them to get a head start in the job market of business. BOEC is a very serious club for the business oriented student, this club will definitely help a student in getting the business job. BOEC competes with other schools. Their first competition will be at Davenport college, if they win this competition, the members and advisors will take a trip to Detroit ' s Renaissance Center for a state wide competition. All of the members will be competing in the state competition. The people who com- pete in the competition usually pick the area in which they are best at, like typ- ing, banking, or job interviews. They do a lot of hard work in this competition but there is always time for a little fun, which they will take advantage of. especially being in the Renaissance Center. This year they have a very dedicated team of officers and they are doing everything possible to come back from Detroit as winners, to show us that Otta- wa Hills has an excellent business pro- gram. The President of BOEC is Julie Im- pellizzeri. Vice President Maribeth Kirr- mann. Secretary Pattie Batterbee, Trea- surer Maria Matheny and Recorder is Tammy Andrews.

The famous phrase I ' ll do it later did not seem to put a damper on this outstanding year- book. The great variety of creative and industrius people came up with pictures and stories that will bring back all of the memories of this 1984-85 school year. Mr. Shalhoup, the head honche, took this awkward group of people, and put their skills together to produce the 1984- 85 yearbook. The photographers did a su- per job in taking pictures of a diversity of people at different events. It will be hard to do a better job than this in the years to come.

It ' s a critical choice, but only one of hundreds of important choices all of us must make throughout our lives. The right to make such choices is a privilege only we who live in the free world enjoy. Most of humanity is still being told how their lives must be lived. For them, freedom of choice does not exist.

JON MARCH = Become A Legend Becoming a legend is what this year was all about. Reagan was re-elected, Ferraro was the first woman to be- come a successful vice president can- didate, Eligibility requirements went up, and new administration improved the school year. Teachers went on strike among other things, and the Ti- gers won the world series. Spirit week came back during homecoming. Don- key Basketball was played between the faculty and the seniors, and the Varsi- ty football team were city champs. Some guys on the swim team got mo- hawks to help their times in the city meet. Girls Varsity basketball went un- defeated, and homecoming game was the most spirited ever. A few interest- ing things happened to and for the seniors: junior girls stole the bell from the seniors guys who were hiding it in the athletic office, for the first time the senior Prom was held at the Am- way Grand Plaza Hotel, and a gradu- ation party was given for the seniors. Having spent a full year teaching others how to put a yearbook together we found it more challenging than ex- pected. Most of the Legend ' staff for our 84-85 book were new. A lot of hard work and interesting ideas were put forth before we were finished. Photog- raphers and layout designers alike put much effort into the final product. So for all their hard work we ' d like to thank and congratulate each and every one of the Legend staff for making the book possible. A thank you to John Pe- sano (publishing advisor) and all the supporters who contributed by being advertisers and patrons. Special thanks goes to Edward Shal- houp. a dedicated staff advisor, teach- er, and friend who guided us through trial and error helping our book to turn out the best. S?: ' J n
