s ;i €) oov QUEEN FOR JUST ONE DAY. Homecoming Queen An- drea Tracy embraces Bev Rice as Stacey Sumpter waits her turn to con- gratulate the newly -crowned queen. The light turns green, and big, tough John Milner lets off the clutch, piercing the warm August night with a deafen- ing screech. As the Beach Boy ' s Sur in ' Safari blares, John leaves the jet-black Plymouth behind him in a cloud of smoke. Grinning wryly, John turns to his thirteen-year-old, pony-tailed passenger, who, in her astonishment can only utter, Wow, this scene is keen. Who has not watched American Graffiti and felt like he had left the present and entered the early ' 60s? Just as a movie captures the essence of an era, a yearbook reflects the moods and trends of an entire year. Like schools, movies expose people to the issues and concerns of the time. Films like Easy Rider and The Breakfast Club make statements about social controversies and human morality; while at school, students ponder these age-old social moral questions by discussing Hack Finn in English class. On a lighter side, movies provide an escape for the viewer. In school, one can momentarily escape the pressures of chemistry and algebra by playing football, joining German Club, or becoming Swashbuck Valpariso in The CJumsy Custard Horror Show . Indeed, school may open one ' s eyes to the world around him and the issues in it, but twenty years from now, what will people remember most about high school? When American Graffiti comes on the screen, the viewer enters 1962 and becomes a part of a bygone era when Ji e was simpJer, and cruising, rock ' n roll, and going steady were the biggest concerns. In (he same way, the yearbook captures the fads and actions of an entire year, so that each time one fhps through the pages it is like watching a favorite movie one more time.

Red carpet on the floor and dim lighting set the hypnotic mood for the show. The aroma of hot-butterd popcorn wakens your nostrils, and you cannot resist saying, Two buckets of pop- corn, please. You can barely see the floor, but you manage to choose the two best seats in the house — mid-front. Everyone speaks softly un- til the background music stops and utter silence drops over the theater. Within a few seconds a bright image appears on the twenty-foot screen nearly blinding you, and the dolby sound system plants you firmly into your seat. That is just the beginning. Within the next two hours you will cry a river and laugh harder than you ever have before. You will be challenged. You will escape life momentarily and find the meaning of it. Sure, you could rent the box-office smashes and watch them at home anytime, but there is still an awesome lure to the theater where all of the senses are entertained, and the action leaps off the screen at you. At school, teachers use the same techniques to interest students. In the classroom the atmosphere is set for lear- ning with few distractions. Teachers stimulate students with books, xeroxed pages, and filmstrips for the eyes; cassette tapes and lec- tures for the ears; and, occasionally, real-live movies for both. Teachers do not intend to im- press the eyes and ears, but they do intend to stimulate the mind. In that sense school is much like the theater. It is a place where you go to be challenged — a place where you can escape from life or find the meaning of it. After all, that is entertainment. - £i. .. . . « o o ADMIT ONE STUDENT LIFE A DMIT ONE STUDENT LIFE If) © A TIGHT SQUEEZE. leff Lawrence wedges himself through the ala carte line. | JicI; y IJO - Week.

The Martian antics of Mrs. Coldren doesn ' t clown around when it comes to Gorman fail to amuse Fred DiGenova, but Fred taking notes. makes Mrs. Herbert chuckle. GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK early beloved, we are gathered here today to pay our final respects . . . The mournful sobs of Mrs. Gorman, Mrs. Denney, and Mrs. Oswalt filled the stuffy afternoon air. However, as they looked out into the endless sea of black, they didn ' t see doleful expressions. Instead, they watched 800 faces break into smiles and heard chuckles erupt from the stands. The homecoming pep session was in full swing. The eulogy delivered by Mrs. Bible on September 27 was to pay lasting tribute to the Madison-Grant Argyls who had been trampled by the Apaches. This particular skit has pro- bably seen its day in many a high school pep rally. However, there was nothing ordinary about Black Friday. After all, it isn ' t every day that Fifth Gongressional District Representative Bud Hillis strolls into the Coolman Gym. Mr. Hillis presented us with a plaque for raising $2362.50 for the African Relief Fund last year. Before handing the award to Miss Geible, Congressman Hillis praised our efort by saying, Part of education is learn- ing to look outside your own lives and community to help those around you, and you have certainly done that. Later on, Mrs. Gorman and Mrs. Herbert tried their best to make Benji Jasen and Fred DiGenova snicker in the Make me Laugh Contest. However, these two seniors wouldn ' t succomb, despite the martian anten- nas atop Mrs. Gorman ' s head and the Groucho Marx nose clinging to Mrs. Herbert ' s face. S-P-I-R-I-T, SPIRIT, LET ' S HEAR IT! . . . echoed through the throng as the cheerleaders conducted the tradi- tional class competition yell. The seniors had the final say with Go 86 , although the sophomores gave them a run for their money. Finally, as the hands of the clock ap- proached 2:45, students joined together in singing the school song. Those who didn ' t know the words (everyone except a couple of cheerleaders) looked at the song sheets passed out by Mr. Mitchell. Clearly, this was one homecoming pep session that would go down in history. 00 o o ADMIT ONE HOMECOMING FHE TACKY TOURIST WAY.

One week he ' s in polka dots; the next week he ' s in stripes. ' Cause he ' s a dedicated follower of fashion ' . The Kinks satirized fashion-conscious social butterflies in their 1960s hit song Dedicated Followers of Fashion. While not everyone may be so status-seeking as the subject of the Kinks ' song, noone can deny that fashion is a fact of life. The way a person dresses gives others clues to his personality, his economic status, and possibly even his views on hfe. Even at Wabash high School, which lies right in the middle of Conservative, U.S.A., students were highly influenced by fashion. The style of dress at WHS was a diverse as the individuals who made up the stu- dent body. For instance, the throwback to ' sixties ' fashions com- plemented the personalities of modern-day flower children. Blouses and shirts in psychedelic colors and way-out patterns, especially paisley, speckled the halls. Girls sported miniskirts, and not just in the warmer months. Even in the crisp fall weather, they displayed tights underneath their microminis. Occasionally one spotted a bloke wearing Keith Moon boots. knee-high moccasins named after the late drummer of the Who, or a fringe jacket like the hippies wore. The regeneration of ' sixties ' fashions was especially appreciated by those students who idolized ' sixties ' rock ar- tists and who admired the values of peace and love set forth in that decade. For those students whose tastes ran to more modern times, there was also a style of dress for them. If you were cruising down the hall, you might have spied guys wearing arm bands, leg bands, head bands, or all three. They sported longish hair, sometimes spiked on top. Earrings and spiked wrist bands, inspired by heavy metal groups like Motley Crue and Bon Jovi, O o ADMIT ONE FASHION (far left) SENIOR CORDS COME BACK TO THE FUTURE.

At the other end of the scale, their conservative counterparts, the prep- pies, strolled down the halls decked out in tartan plaid pants, letter sweaters, button-down collars, penny loafers, and oversized shaker nit sweaters and sweatshirts topped by loose-fitting belts. The sudden surge of ultra-feminine attire may have been inspired by Princess Diana, who has almost single-handedly revitalized the British fashion industry. Her Royal Highness may also have inspired the pastel and lace hose worn with flat shoes. The usual fall and winter hues of brown, navy, rust, and teal were nearly replaced in the halls with yummy-looking amies in pastel ice cream colors. Lace was the dominant Not to be overlooked in WHS fashion circle were the Joe and Joanna Averages who dressed in the tradi- tional teenage garb. Tennis shoes, t- shirts (esp. concert t-shirts and baseball t-shirts), and sweatshirts con- tinued to be the mainstays of many a wardrobe. Jeans, the essential item for any high school student, took on new meaning. Some jeans were blue on the front side but black or gray on the back side. Some had stripes or color on just one part. It was also cool to have a hole or two ripped in the knee. Blue jeans, which have long been popular, seemed to be reinforced by the AU- American rock star Bruce Springsteen, who prefers Ail-American Levis. Jean jackets, also worn by Springsteen, top- ped the All-American look. While it is true that many students dress in a particular style, it is not quite fair to put them in categories. Fashions are fun, and they certainly can give clues to someone ' s personali- ty. However, there are so many dif- ferent sides to an individual ' s per- sonality, some of which may not be seen by the masses. So feel free to dress like Bob Dylan on Monday and Vince Neil of Motley Crue on Friday. They ' ll never quite know whether to expect you to attend a peace rally or a heavy metal concert! ADMIT ONE FASHION FREEZE FRAME t was short and sweet. The candidates hurried out into place, as Andrea Tracy was escorted onto the court by Chris HoUingshead and Mark Mattern. They wove back and forth between the candidates finally stopping behind Kim Hettsmansperger and Keith Shepherd. Andrea crowned Kim and then hugged her. and Chris hugged Keith. Everyone rushed off the court which brought the short ceremony to a close. The game, on the other hand, was full of suspense and energy. With two minutes left in the game the score was 67 to 70, Northfield leading. Wabash was leading for most of the first half, but in the se- cond half the lead changed hands with nearly every shot. Keith Shepherd drew a two-shot foul and sunk both baskets to bring Wabash within one point. Northfield scored again to stretch their lead back to three points, but Mark Mattern came back with a fifteen foot jumper to bring the score to 71 to 72, Northfield. The clock ticked away rapidly as the tension mounted on court as well as off. Eighteen seconds remained on the clock and Wabash had possession. With seven seconds left. Marc Slaton put one up from the corner of the free throw line, a shot he had made several times earlier in the game, but failed to hit this time. Tom Dempsey rebounded and fired from fifteen feet. The final score was Wabash 73. Northfield 72. But was that the final score? Northfield did not think so. Even though the clock ran down, the referee said they had called time out with ' ' ■ two seconds left. Two seconds were put back on the clock and Northfield had possession. The ball sailed down court and the offender turned and shot from just under the basket, but the offender had stepped out of bounds with no time left on the clock. Yes, the score was final, Wabash 73, Northfield 72. EMOTIONS IN MOTION.

HOMEtbMING O •- Y .t FLASH DAI CE The Heat Is On he days prior to Nov. 9, 1985 were unreason- ably warm; however, when the Saturday of the Harvest Ball came, the weather had changed to drastically cooler. But from 8:30 to 11:30 that evening there was one particular spot in Wabash where the cold was combated by a birrage of music and dancing. The music was or- chestrated by a disc jockey, Smitty; and the dancing was choreographed by the students of WHS. Smitty ' s game plan for defeating the cold was an- chored by such classic songs as joy to the World , Twist and Shout , Born to be Wild , and the infamous Shout to sustain an evening of fervor. Relieved that the formal pictures had been taken early on, couples gradually sloughed off their pristine appearance and the evening melted away. At first, the guys took off their coats and the girls put down their bou- quets, but as the dance became pro- gressively wilder and warmer some guys slid their ties up around their heads to act as sweatbands and the girls kicked off their heels. On this brisk November evening, the body heat that was radiating from gyrating dancers must have set record highs in Wabash. If a successful dance can be measured by the amount of heat pro- duced, the Harvest Ball, sponsored by the cheerleaders and the sophomore class, broke the thermometer. CHEERS.

Swashb nee upon a time in a ninety- minute satirical galaxy one thou- sand miles away, there lived a chubby Samuri Tailor who rip- ped seams out of shirts with a swipe of the sword, a foreign grill cook who was a whiz at serving up cheeseburgers and Pepsi (no Coke — cherry, classic, or otherwise), and a dutchy, Angela Davis afro- wearing little rascal named Buh- weet. The fate of Saturday Night Live may be uncertain due to cur- rent Nielson ratings, but here at WHS our own not-ready-for-prime- time players drew rave reviews from hometown critics. In November audiences were treated to a laughable parody on the classic fairy-tale — The Clumsy Custard Horror Show. The cast, dressed in medieval costumes, in- cluded a beautiful, spoiled princess (Michelle Hall], a dashing young prince with deadly fast feet (Mark Mattern). an evil villain (Chris Mer- nitz) with a dastardly plan to kidnap the princess, a lovable, dim-witted king (Al Plummer), and of course, the Clumsy Custard, squishy pet of the evil Dacron. Clumsy Custard evoked both planned laughter (through one line zingers such as, I feel like two thousand grasshoppers are doing a square dance in my underwear! and I am a Royal Knight and Prince Proper of Valthusia. Conquerer of the Alamites, the Balamites, the Cala mites, the Fungus people, and Ralph Epstein, who I punched out in the eighth grade for hiding my athletic supporter. ) as well as unplanned laughter, like when Sir Vival ' s (Steve Smith) sword broke in two and went flying across the stage. On February 12 and 13, nine young actors presented the French comedy SganareJie by Moliere in dinner-theatre form. SganarelJe revolved around an hilarious love- triangle. Martine (Lori Chuch) thinks her husband Sganarelle (Tim Arnett) is cheating on her (and vice versa), and Lelie (Matt Baucco) thinks his fiancee Celie (Chris Gackenheimer) is married to Sganarelle. In reality, no one is cheating on anyone. Both CJusmy Custard and SganareJJe provided young actors and actresses with an oppurtunity to show off their comic geniuses. 00 ADMIT ONE tH _ -.

It ' s all because your mama don ' t dance and your daddy don ' t rock ' n roll. Most teens have lamented at one time or another that their parents just don ' t understand them; they simply aren ' t up with the times. WHS students were surveyed to find out who they admire most and surprisingly, the two groups of people teens looked up to the most were the ones that supposedly don ' t mesh well together: rock musicians and parents. Rock stars mentioned most often were Jim Morrison, The way he lived and thought was great, and he did it without caring at all what others thought, Bruce Springsteen, He became famous, not by chang- ing his style, but by proving that a blue collar American is something special, and John Lennon, I ad- mire John Lennon because he was a man dedicated to making a more peaceful world. Although rock stars won the poll by a small margin, students proved that a person doesn ' t have to be famous to be a terrific influence on their lives. Many people cited their mother, father, grandparents, aunt, brother, or cousin as the person they idolize most of all. Even in 1986, father still knows best. As one senior put it, He would do anything for his family and friends even if it put him in a difficult situa- tion. Mom is also a big influence on this sophomore, She ' s always there when I need her. She ' s like a friend and a parent in one. Another senior said he looked up to his older brother because he was a non-conformist. He ' s a rebel. He had to go through the same dif- ficulties that I am now. He can understand me, and I can relate to him. Movie stars, sports figures, and politicians tied for a distant third place as those most idolized. One junior admired Steve Alford, I.U. basketball player, for his Christian values. Mary Lou Retton was one sophomore ' s choice for most ad- mired. I admire her because she has a lot of spunk. Nothing gets her down. Who was the most admired politician? It wasn ' t Reagan or Abe Lincoln or George Washington. It was John F. Kennedy. One senior said, I admire Kennedy because of the social and political changes he made in less than two years in of- fice. Another senior said, He was very eloquent. I would like to be able to speak as well as he did. One senior expressed his love and ad- miration for Jesus Christ, I per- sonally believe he is the greatest man that has ever walked this earth. Most of those surveyed agreed that it was impossible to go through life without being influenced by role models. With the exception of a few gag answers like Ed Grimley and Elmer Fudd, it looks as though WHS students have some pretty strong role models to look up to (and some well thought out reasons for doing so). Now if Dad would just stop complaining about your Doors albums . . . How many times have you gone to listen to your favorite album and it sounds like your little brother or sister has written their name on it with a crayon? Well friends, don ' t fear because I have the perfect solu- tion. It is a revolutionary invention for the ultimate in sound, known as the compact disc player. It is the latest and most trendy stereo com- ponent to hit the market since thai turntable. They ' re available for ' home stereos, portable battery operated discmans ' , and, yes, even for the automobile. Nachamichi was the first com- pany to break ground on the com- pact disc player back in 1975, andc now nearly every stereo component manufacturer produces at least ones model. The discs themselves are; about one third of the size of anr album and are chrome in ap-i pearance, reflecting a spectrum of) colors. The sound of a disc is taken fromr the original master copy of anr album. ' Then arranged as a series of numbers, and then placed onto thef disc. There is a difference in discs,; though; old discs do not sound as! good as newer ones. The old albums; were analogically recorded on tape.i while newer albums are digitallys recorded. Some of the cleanest discs on thef market today are Dire Straits ' Brothers in Arms, Tom Petty ' s ' Southern Accents, Rush ' s Powen Windows, and Van Halen ' s 5150.) The only negative thing that can bef said about the compact disc revolu- tion is the price of the disc, whicM can range from $13 to $35. Discs are far superior to albums because they deliver superior sound and will sound as good teni ' years from now as they did the dayi you bought them. There is only one factory in the United States which produces the disc itself which is located in Terre Haute, Indiana; and I ironically, the first disc they pro- duced was Bruce Springsteen ' s Born in the U.S.A. We ' ve come a long way since the invention of the phonograph. Who knows, maybe someday something will even top the compact disc. Apax Fever I led a few cheers at a few olleyball games and everyone told ne to be the Indian, replied Bob vlullett when asked what made him vant to become the WHS Indian. ' Everybody told Andrea Tracy that was going to be it, added Bob. Bob ilso said that even though he was Deer pressured into it, he was glad le did it because it was very fun. Bob believes that the school spirit ' definitely needs improving jecause the people don ' t back the ;heerleaders, just the Indian. Bob dso noted that if he could get more mthusiasm from the crowd, then he games would be more fun for jverybody. Wish I knew how to create some enthusiasm, added 3ob. He had some plans like trying o dance on his hands during the jasketball games. Bob also said that le enjoyed being the Indian jecause it is fun to see all these jeople supporting you for school spirit. Also, for all of those future ndians out there you can get the ipparel from former Indians and 3uy the boots at Spiece. SMALLTOWN I got my first real six string, boy, it a five and dime.

On May 2nd at Market Square Arena, a fusion of four of the most important names in rock ' n roll came together: Alex Van Halen, Michael Anthony, Sammy Hagar, and Eddie Van Halen. Sunshine Promotions and Q95 welcomed the triumphant return of Van Halen to Indianapolis on May 2nd at 7:30 p.m. with a very special guest, Bachman Turner Overdrive. The fusion of four it definitely was with 5150 watts blasting out of the amplifiers parting everyone ' s hair dead center. David Lee who? Van Halen has made an enormous comeback album and tour without David Lee Roth. Van Halen per- formed all of their cuts off 5150, their latest album and did only a few of their older songs. They were the loudest band on tour and one of the showcase tours of the sum- mers of ' 86. It was definitely their biggest and best production ever. The words of Bryan Adams ' Sum- mer of ' 69 hold special meaning for several Wabash High students who play in small town bands. Tommy Kiefaber plays guitar in the local band, The Heet. It ' s serious like work, but it ' s fun, said Tom. The Heet plays in places like the Moose Lodge, the Warehouse, the Inn in Manchester, at street fairs, and private parties. They play everything including hits from the 60 ' s and 70 ' s, the top 40, soul, and a little bit of country. Tom plays in the band as a source of income, but he does not dread it like other jobs. Mark Mattern says, Being in a band lets you express yourself in a way that you can ' t anywhere else. Mark plays lead guitar in the band Mattress and the Mud Mops who played their original hit I Can ' t Help Myself in the variety show Free to Be. Ian Hope and Tim Arnett are the Mud Mops, who accompany Mark. Arnett, who plays drums, said, I only enjoy playing for peo- ple, because they can identify with you when you play what they like. Christopher Walter, who plays guitar, says his idols are jimi Hen- drix. Rick Emmit of Triumph, and Alex Lifeson of Rush. Like most of the musicians interviewed, Christopher hopes to play in a pro- fessional band, but he has other plans if he doesn ' t make it. Other musicians at Wabash High School are Greg Zumbaugh. Andy Christman, Dudley Niccum, Chris Mernitz, and Kenny Martin. Many of the big names in rock and roll come out of small towns. For instance, Bruce Springsteen was born in Asburry Park, N.J.; David Lee Roth was born in Bloomington, IN; and John Cougar was born in Seymour, IN, Who knows? We may have another Springsteen or Cougar right here in Wabash. 3 (Q SHADES OF IAN HUNTER. Ian Hope takes a cue from the spectacled rock star as he grooves to the tops in pops.

Let ' s Spend The Night Together feel funny, but I don ' t know why. Excuse me while I kiss the sky. Jimi Hendrix summed up the mood of every one on prom night: Jittery but walking on air. As couples entered the Honeywell Gym, they were enveloped by a haze of purple and silver. Candles flickered from the tables, adding to the am- bience of the evening. As psychedelic lights danced across the ceiling, couples did some dancing of their own to the sounds of dee jay Dan Eckelbarger. The music spanned four decades; if people couldn ' t find something to jam to, then they must not have liked rock ' n roll. Guys and dolls strolled to the mellow sounds of The Diamonds, gyrated to The Beatles ' Twist and Shout , basked in the warmth of Led Zeppelin ' s Stairway to Heaven , and grooved to Mick Jagger ' s electric hit of Summer ' 84, State of Shock . Although they played both versions of We ' ve Got tonight (Kenny Rogers and Sheena Easton remade the Bob Seger tune in 1983), couples requested adamant- ly that Seger ' s version be played again. Following the garter ceremony (after which a few silly individuals placed their dates ' garters on their heads instead of their arms), their wish was granted. Newly-chosen king Dave Pegg and his queen Bev Rice flowed together in the spotlight as Bob Seger ' s gritty voice pleaded, We ' ve got tonight. Who needs tomorrow? Why don ' t we stay? However, couples knew they couldn ' t stay forever, and they began popping balloons, tearing down streamers, and stealing candles for souvineers between 11:30 and 11:45. By midnight the prom was over, and perspiring couples exited into the breezy April air. As they gazed into the twinkling stars, they really did feel like kissing the sky.

Loud, Hawaiian attire and loud cheering set the stage for the in- tense competition between the classes. All four classes gave it their all, and some in- dividuals went beyond the call of duty to give their team the winning edge. In the tricycle race, Chris Parrett carried his trike halfway across the gym which disqualified the seniors from this event. The sophomores were the roudiest, recording the highest decibel rating, followed by the freshman, the seniors, the eighth grade, the juniors, with the seventh grade squeaking up at the rear. The class competion was highlighted by the tug-of-war event which was literally carried away by the seniors. Everyone pushed and shoved to get a closer look at the intense struggle, and the roar of the growd grew as the seniors tugged the juniors over the dividing victory line. Joe Kaufman, Ron Slaton, and Dennis Horn, sponsors of the Sports Spectacular, had nothing but praise for the class representatives, who collected over $1,300 in ticket sales which went to the general sports budget. There was no doubt in anybody ' s mind that the ' 86 Sports Spectacular was a crank it up affair. FACE DANCES. Each individual face waltzes to the music of the Sports Spectacular. IN THE SACK.

ADMITONE SPECTACUU R in CSJ o Free To Be The open back-stage door and small colored lights of the lighting cage shone over the crowded wings of the stage just as the moon and stars shine on a clear October night. Ballet dancers patiently stretched and warmed up as opening-number singers awaited their cue to sing, dance and start the show off with a bang. Free To Be served as the opening number and theme for the talent show which boasted Wabash ' s largest cast and crew. There were twenty-three performances in the two-act show including songs, dances, skits, a lip-sync, ballet, and poetry. Mark Mattern, Ian Hope and Tim Arnett were Mark and the Mudmops performing their own rock song, I Can ' t Help Myself. In the second act Chris HoUingshead lip-synced to lohn Cougar Mellancamp ' s Smalltown while a slide montage of Wabash shone on the screen behind him. There were also several large cast ensembles such as; Free To Be, Rocky Top, and This Land Is Your Land. Also the Wabash Valley Dance Company energetically performed selections from Cats and From Zero To Sixty In Five. Special recognition goes to Corky Herbert and Katherine Geible for their patience with the cast and crew. Overall the show was as fun to participate in as it was to watch. It gave the cast a chance to draw close and accomplish something before the end of the school year. Yes, Free To Be was a success. FREE TO BE A MUSICIAN.

ADMITONE VARIETY SHOW 1 CM O THE On May 12, 1986, the Wabash Junior High Auditorium was filled with handshakes, smiles, and applause.

Harvey graduates into retirement. THE LIGHTS ARE LOW AND THE CANDLES BURN HIGH during the candle lighting ceremony. To Build A Fire The courtyard was dimly lit by the setting sun as the class of ' 86 stood alphabetically correct. A shrill Oh, My God! screamed out as Pomp and Circumstance rebounded out of the gym doors and into our hearts. Bob Mullet ' s red eyes squeezed out two more tears, and the students filed into the gym to sit in their folding chairs. Chris Mernitz nervously approach- ed the podium and introduced Al Plummer who prayed reverently to God remembering the people who put us here and looking boldly to the future. Members left their seats to join the choir for the last time singing That ' s What Friends Are For and I ' ll Remember You. Next, Lisa Brown, the valedictorian, delivered her speech followed by Mark Mattern who approached the podium speaking confidently. After the band played, Mr. Eikenberry presented the class, saying we were unique with an in- dependent spirit which drew laughter from both students and parents. After Dr. Myer ' s speech, which in- cluded a quote from John F. Kennedy and a plea to avoid apathy, the class of ' 86 marched to the stage and filed past the school board shaking hands, thanking faces, and receiving gifts. The first gift was a diploma, the culmination of a dozen years ' edu ' a- tion, seen by some as the key to a mystical door or a stepping stone to a bright future. The second gift was a candle, a black candle with a silver rose, used in the ceremony to sym-- bolize class solidarity. A butane ' lighter started the first wick and the small fire spread throughout the body, of graduates as Lori Church sang. Passages. Without hesitation the candles raised to arm ' s length, and the entire class swayed as if unified by the ■ steady rocking of a ship on open seas. As the song ended and the lights came up, the haze from one hundred and fifteen candles hung mystically in the air. Out of the smoke-filled gym and into the dark, night air poured the class of ' 86, bumping into one another occasionally, remembering the good old times, and hugging each other good-bye.

ON LOCATION Wabash High School Athletics and movies have many similiar characteristics. People like action movies. Sports are like an action movie. In most high school sports the action is energetic throughout the game or match. The action never stops in a good movie. This action keeps the moviegoer in their seat. When you attend a sports event the action is assured to keep you in your seat. During the movie you will cheer, clap, and scream at the bad guys. At a game you will also cheer and clap for your team, and scream at the referees and the other team. Competition is also another characteristic both movies and sports show. The movies use advertising and previews to compete with each other. They also compete at the box of- fice. Sports teams compete on the floor. They try to defeat the other team. They strive for that ribbon or trophy. The greatest award a high school athlete could receive would be the elusive state championship. This would be the same as a movie receiving an Academy Award. The main goal in this competition is to be the best. Unlike the movies, in sports winning is not everything. Just competing in high school athletics is a thrill itself. Feeling the adrenaline pumping, the thrill of competition, the victories, the defeats, good sportsmanship, and the feeling of self satisfaction; that is what Wabash High School Athletics is all about.

The scene was the Honeywell tennis courts, the time was 3:45 and the event was a boy ' s tennis meet. This year ' s boys ' tennis team had one of its finest seasons. We really surpris- ed ourselves on how well we performed this year said Criss Walter. ' T am really proud on how well the kids played this year. They really came through on some clutch matches, said Coach Rick Mitchell. Mitchell recalls the high point of the season was when the entire team played excellent and defeated Madison-Grant 5-0. The team placed second in the CIC. Coach Mitchell said, There were a few meets we should have won but overall I was very pleas- ed with the team ' s perfor- mance this year.

During this season the team im- proved their placement of the ball; they could find the opponent ' s weakest spot and put the shot right on target. Another strategy, keeping the ball in play longer, which allows the op- ponent to make the first mistake, helped fill in the gaps where experience was lacking. Although the team ' s serving was not strong, it did improve. They learned different and more effective serves. If a team gets both serving and ball- play down, it creates a po- tent offense, remarked coach Eichenauer. Coach Eichenauer cited the team ' s turning point to be during a meet with Hun- ington North. Many girls decided that they could really play well that night, remembered Coach Eichenauer.

Their season record was 5-2; they finished second in the CIC; and they qualified eleven athletes for the sectionals. Coach Bob Burcoff said their biggest strength this year was the persistence of the kids about improving themselves in their events. They worked very hard this year, and at no point did they ever give up, remark- ed Coach Burcroff. Their only weakness this year was inexperience in the weight events such as the shot put and the discus. Chris Mer- nitz said, It was like one big family because everyone helped each other and took interest in how other team- mates were doing instea d of just worrying about themselves. Doug Mid- dleton and Chris Mernitz received the M.V.P. award for displaying outstanding leadership on the team.

BUSTIN LOOSE LERDER OF THE PRCK nh u r s d a y , September 19, 1985. The Wabash cross country team went to Southwood High School to run an easy race of 3.1 miles. Wabash expected to have an easy win over the not-so-good Southwood team, but they didn ' t expect such a spectacular finish. After an easy start, Wabash realized they had the race won. It was Jim Crager, Chris Mernitz, Tony Teague, Jon Hostetler, Nate Mylin, Richie Church, Mike Rollins, and Tim Vogel all alone. Not a Knight in sight. With a suggestion from Chris Mernitz, the team decided to cross the finish line together in stride. With half a lap around the track left, the Wabash team, in two groups of four, began clapping and shouting Wabash, Wabash, Wabash! Soon, the crowd, including Southwood officials, began standing up and clapping along with the team for their fine performance. The whole team crossed the finish line in perfect stride, (contributed by Tim Vogel) This meet was just one example of many the team won in its 13-1 season. They made steady, consis- tent improvements and achieved all of the goals set, said Coach Dennis Horn. Everyone on the team ran a better time than last year and was stronger. The members of the team had a higher level of self- motivation, also. Since they weren ' t favored to win the sectional. Coach Horn com- mented that it was a neat little surprise to come in first. This year ' s team not only placed first in the sec- tional but won the CIC for the sixth consecutive year. Both Coach Horn and Chris Mernitz agreed that it was a fun season and one of the best they have had. We did things nobody thought we could do, said Chris Mernitz, who led the team emotionally and in their practices. Jim Crager led the varsity team to the finishing line most of the time, while Dave Garrison projected a very positive attitude and showed a great deal of leadership at the JV level. There didn ' t seem to be any one outstanding runner on the team, but as Chris Mer- nitz said, Our team effort made it a good season . THE LONELINESS OF A LONG DISTANCE RUNNER.

Coach Slaton said, It was definitely a rebuilding year for us with only one starter from last year returning to the line-up. The Apaches were 2-18 this year, but Coach Slaton said that he was very pleased with the attitude of the players. The team had weaknesses in shooting, size, and ball handling but strengths in at- titude and the ability to work together.

When Coach Bob Stewart surveyed the season results, he identified inexperience as a disadvantage, and in- consistent team play as the leading weakness of this year ' s combination of girls. There were many games that could have been closer or even won, observed Coach Stewart. On a more positive note, however, he said, Despite a ' losing ' season, the team never quit fighting. Determination held this team together through the tough breaks and near misses. The girls savored a nice little wrap up to their season. They outscored Southwood ' s Knights the entire first half of the con- solation game at the county tourney. Then late in the se- cond half Wabash led by 8 points; Coach Stewart said this was when, we didn ' t know what to do, however, he was pleased by the way they (the team) preserved the victory. Coacn Stewart commented that it was like Victory snatched from the jaws of defeat. Coach Stewart designed a new award for those who excel academically during the season play. The reci- pients were Bev Rice (12), Lori Hann (11), Ann Plum- mer (10), and Chris Trevino (9). The most improved player was Bev Rice, and Ann Plummer received the mental attitude award.

The Wabash football team did not have a great year, with no wins and nine losses, but improve- ment was shown as the season progressed. Game by game we got better , add- ed Woody. Woody noted that the reason for their disappointing year was the lack of upperclassmen, lack of strength, and lack of var- sity experience in the underclassmen. This year ' s football team included many young players who will restock the team ' s talent pool in the next few years. Although Wabash did not win any football games, they played a couple of real good games. Wabash held co-CIC champs, Missisin- newa, to 14 points but lost 14-0. We competed well with a first-class team, ad- ded Woody. In the Alexan- dria game, Wabash jumped to a 13-0 lead in the first quarter only to lose 30-13. Wabash gained 350 yards in total offense against Alex- andria, and Dan Hipskind set a school record for the most yards rushing in a game by running for 249 yards on 29 carries. I feel that we played three- fourths of a ballgame in both of these games , said Woody.

The Dot Brothers Pitch In To Pull Out A No. 1 «iir wn K -w| t was like one big family; everyone helped and cheered for each other, said Chris Hollingshead remarking about the ' 86 baseball season. Wabash had the best season ever this year, winning the CIC, the sectionals, the regionals, the semi-state, and going all the way to the state finals to beat Marion in a close 2-1 match which Wabash pull- ed out at the top of the seventh. The season was also fine for pitcher Kieth Shepherd who in early June was chosen by the Pittsburg Pirates to play professional baseball for them. Coach Chris Rood said, Our main strength this year was our pitching, with Kieth and Tommy doing a great job this year. Coach Rood also added that the hitting this year was much improved as the season went along. I ' ve been train- ing since November: runn- ing, lifting weights, just try- ing to get into good condi- tion before the season, said pitcher Fred Digenova. The season started out like a house-of-fire with the team winning their first twelve games in a row until they finally were defeated by Kokomo. Coach Rood said, I was very pleased with the way the boys played this year because they were very consistent and very outgoing. Coach Rood said he really enjoyed working with the team this year because they never gave up and always worked very hard. COME ON BOYS, LET ' S PLAY SOME DEFENSE.

Seniors Steve Smith and Al Plummer con- tributed at positions number three and four respectively. The very talented freshman Tommy Berry rounded out the varsi- ty squad. Youth was one of the major weaknesses of this year ' s team. Seven freshmen came out for the team this year. One started right out on the varsity level while a few others filled in when necessary. Varsity ex- perience was a plus. Four of the top five all had varsity experience. The up- perclassmen also helped teach the younger kids the tricks of the game.

CLUB LIFE DIVIDER AFTER HOURS Like classical movies, WHS clubs have characteristics which reassure their return each school year. Often a movie is held over due to record attendance; moviegoers must return to a theater to see the movie of their choice. Movie fans are like club members who enjoy going on field trips again and again. Ac- tion made Raiders of the Lost Ark very popular. Similarly, an organized club like Drama Club, whicn takes action and allows its members to show their talent, often has a large membership. Classic movies like Gone With the Wind involve characters fighting for a worthy cause. Many WHS Clubs take action in time of need and work for good causes like organizing the Sports Spectacular to raise money for Athletics or supplying food to the needy at Christmas time. Sometimes, like popular movies, clubs in- form their members. Through their member- ship in foreign language clubs, students may gain more knowledge of a favorite culture. O B and Sycamore provide publication experiences. Talented leading actors are essential to a successful movie. In the same way, committed sponsors, who take charge and organize events, are a must for a wortnwhile club. Sup- porting actors assist leading actors and help put the finishing touch on a movie; many peo- ple support their sponsor and help achieve club goals. The most essential aspect of a movie is an interesting plot. The most important factor in a club ' s success is the ability to stick with plans from beginning to end just as a movie plot does. These elements comprise good movies and clubs alike which allows a club to return year after year like a held over movie. o o ADMIT ONE CLUB LIFE WORD QUEST.

ADMITONE MUSIC MAKERS 01 11 NO SiM ALL AFFAIR On the second Monday in July at 8:00 A.M., the Marching Band students began to arrive at the high school with suit- cases, electric fans, and loads of munchies. These students were prepared for a week of marching and memorizing music. For the next five days they would be attending band camp at Saint Francis College in Fort Wayne. Each day began with Good Mor- ning, it ' s time to get up. However, there were those who had been up since dawn in order to get a chance at a shower before breakfast because, after the wake up call, there was a rush to the bathroom. By 8:00 each morning everyone had lined up ac- cording to class in front of the girls ' dorm for breakfast. By 9:00 they were out on the field for three hours of prac- tice. Slowly, they arrived on the marked field; it was already starting to get hot. Who has the sunscreen? shouts out one of the students. Sunburn was one of their concerns. They also had to worry about bugs. If they were not yelling for the sunscreen, it was for the afterbite. Amidst all this confusion they were learn- ing what they needed to perform. First they had to learn the technique. Car- riage and size of step was important. When called to attention, the band members pulled their feet together, checked the place- ment of their head with their finger pistol, and pull- ed their shoulders back. Next, taking a step was not easy. It was not like taking a walk. They walked heel to toe, and one foot in front of the other like walking a tight rope. In the afternoon after sec- tional practice, they had an hour or two to themselves. Some stayed in their rooms in front of the fans and listened to jams while others watched TV or checked out the campus. The counselors sponsored initiations for the new band students — a water balloon fight. The first timers stood in the middle with air-filled balloons while the rest sur- rounded them armed with water balloons. This in- itiated the new members and helped release some of the pressure which had built up. At the end of each of day, all of the band students gathered in the basement to watch past performances and review their mistakes. Friday finally arrived, and the band campers were ready for the trip home. They could not leave there fast enough. It had been a great weelc, a chance to be away from home and the responsibilities. The only drawback about this place was that the food was not as good as Mom ' s cooking which is what pulls them back to Wabash. TIME AFTER TIME.

ADMIT ONE IN THE LIMELIGHT When Mrs. O ' Connell handed out tickets to the fall concert and told her students that the one with the most guests would win $10, she had no idea what a response it would bring. But on that Tuesday evening at 7:30 P.M., 929 people sat or stood in the aisles, a wollop- ing turnout by anybody ' s calculations. Props and special effects set the mood for the choirs ' musical selections. For ex- ample, helium balloons tied down with metallic streamers lined the outside rows where spectators sat, and on stage, silver stars and a neon sign stating the theme Rythmn of the Night hung down from the ceiling. Black lights flashed on during the new-wave songs. Celebration kicked off the Apache Singers ' seg- ment of the concert. Soloist Troy Phillipy began the selection on stage alone, and then the rest of the group came out of the audience and joined him. The Treble Choir, wear- ing poodle skirts and rolled-up jeans, performed a Rock-n-Roll Medley which featured songs from the 50 ' s and 60 ' s arranged by Mrs. O ' Connell. Dressed up in leather jackets and faded jeans, and imitating the sound of motorcycles, three gals scooted across stage during Leader of the Pack. Audience participation was emphasized in Number One. Lisa Brown ' s energetic approach coaxed the crowd into par- ticipating. When the time arrived for the audience to, sing, silence filled the ALL THAT JAZZ. In nightclub fashion, singers Troy Poole and Debbie Burton are accompanied by Jelaine Young on piano. DARK SHADOWS.

At the end of the song, the choir broke with tradition and gave the au- dience a round of applause. The concert ended on a patriotic note withi America which included a slide show and speeches from important historical events. The concert appeal- ed to everyone because of the wide variety of musical styles, and selections, which is probably why it attracted: a capacity audience.

ADMITONE PUBLICATIONS High-Tecli cloumalisiii The Orange Black newspaper staff and Sycamore year- pook staff experienced some ips and downs putting ogether their pubhcations his school year. The year- book staff faced two major cinds of crises involving Dhotography headaches and ;he computer blues while the newspaper staff had pro- Dlems with lack of man power, computer malfunc- tions, and late photos during the second semester. The yearbook staff went through a scary computer crisis try- ing to meet their first deadline. After they had entered and stored all their copy on a disk, they were denied access to the material because they forgot to get the password from their printing com- pany— PANIC! The O B had their share of crises and emergency situations this school year. Mrs. Heavilon, who replaced Mrs. Schrader as the newspaper advisor, said one of her major con- cerns with meeting a deadline was motivating students to do quality work within a limited amount of time. Ms. Troop, advisor to the yearbook staff, said her major concerns were with getting her students to write stories and order pictures on time. Along with these crises that come up when trying to meet a journalism deadline there were always feelings of extreme anxiety, ner- vousness, and tension. Many of the staff members on the Sycamore felt pressure in trying to meet the color deadline, which was right before Spring Break. The pressure was caused by the printing demands. If the deadline was not met, no color would appear in the book. They faced a computer shutdown in the last two hours before sending it in the mail because of bad sectors on a Data disk. This was hair raising. They would have had to pay fifty dollars a day, so they tried very hard For preventing these A SLANT ON THE NEWS. The O B staff puts their heads together to solve layout headaches during a deadline rush. emergency panic situations that occur during a deadline, staff members must plan ahead. Sometimes. Ms. Troop and Mrs. Heavilon had to be the bad guys and crack the whip so the students would not procrastinate. To ward off procrastination Mrs. Heavilon set up a point system for students in se- cond semester. If students met their deadline, they received 25 points. Although staffs ran into these crises and many other ones during the year, many students believe they did their best work under pressure. ORANGE a BLACK STAFF : FRONT ROW: T. Daugherty, L.

ADMITONE PUBLICATIONS Ps O On the setless stage covered with a thin layer of rosine, the Variety Show tryouts started at 5:00 pm on a Tuesday afternoon. Enthusiasm overtook the students, and getting caught up in the excitement was unavoidable. I just went to take pic- tures for the yearbook, and Bingo! I ' m singing and dancing and having fun, said senior Ben Niccum, who went on to assume a larger role as narrator and MC for Act II and worked in three other skits. Although tryouts were a breeze for the students it was hectic for the directors, Mrs. Geible and Mrs. Herbert, They had to work around the students ' schedules so that everyone would get a chance to tryout. The cast for the show was one of the largest. It involved about seventy peo- ple. Thirty people auditioned, but later about forty students were incorporated into the actual production. Mrs. Herbert said she was very pleased by the number of students that had talent and enthusiasm which we (were) able to use. Because of the crazy mood surrounding the tryouts, everyone had a great time from Jay Parrett, the lighting man, to senior Ian Hope, bass player in the Mattress and the Mudmops. It was hard for those auditioning to concentrate on what they were doing. For instance, students sat and made faces, tickled, and poked each other. During normal auditions, one expects to sing, dance and act; however, for one section of the show an unusual re- quest was made: the directors asked the students to belch. Some acts generated ideas. Chris Hollingshead ' s lip-sync to John Cougar ' s Smalltown inspired the directors to add a slide montage of typical scenes in Wabash. Variety Show auditions are pot luck because one doesn ' t know what will happen. There were six girls that wanted to dance but no guys wanted to. So, Mrs, Herbert grabbed the guys and forc- ed them to tryout. Putting the show together can be as much fun as putting the show on. CM IV, O ADMIT ONE AUDITIONS BUSINESS TALK.

They organized the Football and Basketball Homecomings, canned food drives, and the Hawaiian Luau dance. The most com- plex activities the group had to plan were the homecom- ings. Mr. Hughes said, The initial canned food drive went well, but the Luau was a hit! None of the events would have worked out if it weren ' t for the help of Mr. Hughes and certain commit- ted council members. Members of the student council supported the club by supplying the labor and many of the ideas for the varying projects. Those members who attended regularly displayed en- thusiastic attitudes, but at- tendance tended to be poor. On the average, approx- imately ten out of thirty- eight members came to the meetings. In the 86 87 school year, there will be around twenty- two mem- bers including the student body president and vice president.

They par- ticipated in the drama pro- duction by working on props, selling tickets, getting prop materials, or by taking a part in the play. The only difference between the clubs was that the Drama Club served as a local organization and the Thes- pians was a national organization. The Thes- pians had their induction ceremony in the Fall while the drama Club did not have one because they acted only as a volunteer club. The selection for the Thespians was limited since the decision was based on the sponsor ' s judgement. There were around fifteen members of the Drama Club which met approximately every two weeks. Anyone involved in the dramas could be a member of the Drama Club, but it was valued as a great honor to be selected by the sponsor to become a Thespian. MAIN EVENT.

They need worry themselves no more; library and office helpers have long since entered the picture. These dedicated students regret- fully sacrifice their homework time to carry out the endless errands of the office. Likewise, library helpers help check out books for the students and collect book fines. However, being one of the illustrious persons does have its ad- vantages. Library helpers have been known to push aside algebra in favor of reading magazines. After all what girl could pass up headlines like Princess Di ' s Fairy-Tale Frocks or Don Johnson of Miami Vice Picks Pepsi Over Slice ? Similarly, office helpers (a fancy name for expert hall- roamers) peek into classrooms as they saunter by, hoping to catch a glimp- se of their friends. Even so, the school simply could not run without them. TWO OF A KIND. Mike Thompson and Troy Phillipy construct their model houses in Mr. Kaufman ' s Architectural Design class. SMILE!

ACADEMICS DIVIDER MAKING THE GRADE As the movie progresses, you settle back in your cozy seat, enjoying the action that is jum- ping off the screen at you. You are being pleasantly bombarded with various scenes and situations. The overall theme of the pic- ture is illustrated in these scenes. One must interpret the scenes to capture the jist of the movie. Academics provides the basis for the interpretation of the scenes of life. At Wabash High School, academics is a pedestal — the pedestal of understanding upon which each student stands. Further understanding of life comes from the knowledge students aquire in high school. For example, a greater comprehension of nature can be found if you read about the Transcendentalists in English or dissected frogs and pigs in biology. Taking a social studies class helps develop one ' s understan- ding of human relationships. Where else can one proudly carry around an egg baby for a few days and not be embarrased? Work discipline is another important aspect of life taught by academics. Some students study with more vigor than others. However, all students strive to get to the top of this Mount Everest. How high each student gets is clear- ly a matter of personal choice and discipline. Each student comes to WHS with differing social goals. But the inner goal of the students is to reach the top, or in other words, learn. O 00 o ADMIT ONE ACADEMICS ADMIT ONE ACADEMICS O II NIGHT 9HIFT What is happening on Wednesday nights? A basketball game? Something good on television for once? No, the math help ses- sions. Each Wednesday night at 6:30, Mr. Burcroff and Mr. Barkey or Mr. leach opened up two classrooms. These classrooms were available for students who wanted help with their math homework. The calculus and trigonometry students receiv- ed help from Mr. Burcroff while the other students conversed about their homework with Mr. Barkey or Mr. Leach. The sessions were not intended to take the place of instruction in the classroom. Instead, they were designed to give help to students who had trouble finding time to get help with math difficulties. For example, students who live on the south side ride the school bus at set times before and after school. These are usually the times when other students received additional help. It helps, said Al Plummer. The help sessions are a good institution to improve the skills of the better math students, said Mark Mattern. The purpose of these sessions is to give kids an opportunity to get additional help with math that they could not receive at any other time. The kids become involved in teaching each other. They also become more responsible for their own learning. For example, if a child is having trouble with a certain section, he or she will make it a point to keep their Wednesday nights free to come in. Both Mr. Burcroff and Mr. Barkey agreed that they enjoyed spending their Wednesday nights with their students. All teachers involved enjoyed the general at- titude of the kids and the informal atmosphere of the sessions. They are both very positive, stated Mr. Burcroff. VISION QUEST.

Dissecting pigs turns out to be an ex- citing affair. At first, most of the students seem apprehensive. Therefore, introduction of the pigs has to be gradual. First, the students receive handouts over the system to be dissected. Some of the comments about the worksheets include Sick! and I see the light! Second, a demonstration is given. The instructor cautiously cuts away at the system in question, pointing out major and minor parts, and answers any ques- tions the students may have. Finally, the sutdents handle the incisive pro- cess on their own with the watchful eye of the instructor vulturing nearby. By the end of the dissection, even the most squeamish students have taken a liking to their very own Wilbur. , ■ ADMITONE ' O SCIENCE WM BOIMM m PHOOTBOl! ' II LASHPOINT.

THEME9 IN LIFE W hy is Huckleberry sur- prised when he reahzes that Tom Sawyer will help him free Jim, the slave? The answer to this question is found in the Themes in Literature class taught by Ms. Linda Troop. In this class, the curricula includes reading from seven to nine classic novels, ranging from The Hobbit to Wuthering Heights. After careful analysis of the material, the students write reaction papers ranging in length from three to eleven pages. Besides learning the correct way to present a reaction paper, the students learn how to analyze the material and organize their lecture notes into a plausible argument. It has given me a good background for college. It has also helped me pick up philosophical meanings in literature that I have not picked up before. commented Shelly Davenport. Al Plummer added, Much of the literature that we read had to do with moral values. Due to reading that material, I have taken a good look at myself as I am sure everyone in the class has on more than one occasion. In addition to the regular classroom activities, Ms. Troop was led (not easi- ly, however) to other topics, such as the day when the class discussed dif- ferent rock and roll artists and the in- fluence of their music over our lives.; Also, the time comes to mind when the class gave panel discussions over various themes in Greek history and culture. Chris Mernitz, Ian Hope, and Shelly Davenport came to class dress- ed in togas as Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle respectively. They gave the history of each of their lives, along with their influences on each other and the world. This unique touch of class plus many others makes the Themes in Literature class an in- teresting place to consider literary and personal themes. 00 o ADMIT ONE ENGLISH ' O ' T ' HOH SagSgRggfSigSBi Kg II IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

What is this? A CIA scandal at Wabash High School? No, the parents of our illustrious students gather every fall at the school for an evening of entertainment. They have the chance of discussing their child ' s performance with each teacher. Their entertain- ment includes the same kind of emo- tions sometimes stimulated by a mo- tion picture: joy, surprise, disappoint- ment, and happiness. It was in- teresting to find out my child ' s pro- gress remarked Sandy Calvin, mother of Mistie Calvin. This night, which happened to have a record turnout this year, informs parents of their children ' s strengths, weaknesses, and possible areas of improvement. The teachers enjoy the opportunity to share their feelings about each stu- dent ' s individual performance in their course and to talk about the course of- ferings and guidelines in their disciplines. Overall, the evening pro- vides a chance for the parents and teachers to communicate. Without communication comes a breakdown in student teacher relationships and in the student learning process. This night allows the school and communi- ty to work together more smoothly and with less catastrophe for all the impor- tant players — parents, teachers, and students. MISSING.

From the dim light that shown through the windows and in the shadows he saw what seemed to be monsters attached to fat, tubed chains. Some of the monsters were short and fat while others were long and skinny; still others had a shape all of their own. He wanted to run, but he knew he had to keep walking. He saw a light in the distance. The light was so far away that he would never make it in time. As the light got closer, he heard laughter. It was coming from where the light shown. He started to turn around and head for safety when he heard someone say, Get in here or you ' ll be late. He turned and walked a little faster toward the bright room. Just as he slid into his seat, the bell rang and another day of Woods I was about to begin. In the above scene, the monsters are really the machines that are used in the work area and the fat, tubed chains are really the vacuum tubes that are attached to the machines. In Woods I, students learn how to use the machines and hand tools. Since they get daily use, Mr. Grindle teaches the students that safety comes first. The first safety rule is that all students working on a machine must wear either safety glasses or goggles to protect their eyes from flying wood chips. Each student will learn how to use each of the machines and hand tools because even the easiest of these can be dangerous if not used properly. One of the more dangerous machines is the radial arm saw. Some students try to cut the wood cross-armed. This happens sometimes when the studenti positions his left arm in the way of the rotating blade. After the students learn the safety rules and proper use of the machines and hand tools, a hundred-point test is handed out to each student to see if they are ready to begin working in the shop area. The students may only begin working on their woods project if they pass the test with a score of one ! hundred percent. Some of the projectst ' that students make in Woods I are pla-( ques, rolling pins, shelfs, and jewelry boxes. Like so many other beginning; classes.

This question was one of many that were answered during the trial simulation this year in Mrs. Den- ney ' s first period government class. With the help of a few study hall students who served as jury members, room 102 turned into a court of law. Ben N ' ccum, alias Bud Weiser, was tried for involuntary manslaughter and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He allegedly supplied alcoholic beverages to Patty Collins, a make-believe teenager. Patty and her friend went to Bud Weiser ' s house on an extremely cold, desolate night and engaged in a drinking contest. Patty, lightly clad, and her friends then went to a cafeteria, where she sneaked out to visit her boyfriend. However, she never made it. She was found by Mark Wallace who served as the policeman ON THE WITNESS STAND. Defense attorney Mark Mattern interrogates restaurant owner Mark Moore. AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. Chris Mernitz sear- ches for the truth ahout Patty Collins while cross-examining Mark Wallace. on the scene. She had removed some of her clothing due to the effects of the alcohol. She died of exposure. Was Bud Weiser found innocent or guilty of these serious charges? The prosecution, Chris Mernitz and Al Plummer tried to pin the blame on Bud. However, the defense team of Mark Mattern, Christopher Walter, and Steve Smith worked diligently to free their client. Mark Mattern used an effective water technique in his closing arguments. Testimony was given by most of the government students, while the others sat on the jury. After two days ' proceedings and fifteen minutes ' deliberation, the ver- dicts were handed down. Bud was not convicted of involuntary manslaughter. The answer to the charge of contributing to the delin- quency of a minor came out different though. He was found to be guilty, ludge Ian Hope sentenced him to sixty hours of community work. CM o ADMIT ONE GOVERNMENT HISTORIC PROJECTIONS.

A poster of the Ger- lan countryside also catches my eye. he buzz of the radiator provides a oft background to Bev Rice ' s transla- ion of a section of the book, Peter hat ' ech. As the German III class sits cross from me busily working on heir own assignment, I enjoy listening 3 Bev ' s voice, because I can relate to he work she put forth for such a com- ilete translation. Meanwhile, my tiind reflects on the European trip of ast summer. I remember sleeping in he restaurant of the Berlin hotel at vhich we resided. A chuckle curls my ips. German fills me with many good nemories. German is just one of the three oreign languages offered at Wabash iigh School. Foreign languages open nany doors of life. For example, if you vere strolling down the streets of Stut- gart, and a tough-looking lad with in- ligo tresses and an earring through his lose said, Ich liebe blaues Haar, and ou did not understand German, you night laugh at yourself for not inderstanding him. Also,if you didn ' t enow the language, how would you isk for a drink of water, how much a rain ticket costs, or where to use the jathroom? Knowing the basics of mother language can be a big help. Conversing with someone from a foreign land expands the boundaries of the imagination. It makes you realize that the world is larger that Wabash County. When the students who went to Europe last summer went through Checkpoint Charlie (a gate between the free city of West Berlin and the Communist-ruled East Berlin), one of the students asked another how to say seven in German. The Com- munist guard aboard our bus checking the passports replied with a smile, Sieben. Foreign languages also give some insight into how the En glish language developed. The etymolgy students who are learning Latin and Greek derivatives can sometimes figure out the meaning of English words if they know the roots they come from. Besides the practical side of learning a foreign language, it can be fun, too. Foreign language clubs perform a variety of activities. The German club has made it an annual ritual to go Christmas caroling at the nursing homes. The Spanish club travels to Mexico nearly every summer. Another aspect of knowing a foreign language is secrecy. If you and a com- rade were planning a double-date, a mischievious thing to do would be to talk in German all night. Also, if you don ' t want your dates to know what you two were discussing, you could talk in German, as long as your dates didn ' t take German.

A look of disgust ap- eared upon the batter ' s face as the nal ball was about to be pitched . . . his spring when Ms. Dobbs ' key-type pplication class played typing aseball, the crowd got just as rowdy s the spectators at a real baseball ame. Like real baseball players the students and Ms. Dobbs like a day on the diamond away from their regular class routines. This year, Ms. Dobbs asked her high school aged sister what she did in typing class for a break from the usual routine. That is when she found out about typing baseball. Typ- ing baseball helps the students with their speed and accuracy. The students type a line of words over and over again for thirty seconds as ac- curately and as fast as possible. After the thirty seconds are done, the um- pire of each team checks his team members ' papers. Every accurately typed line is a base hit; if there are two perfect lines then it is a double and so forth. When a person has an error in their line, it is an out. But if someone does get an error, their teammates really make it rough for them, says Dobbs. If a team does not g et three outs one time through batting order, then that team types for another thirty seconds while the other team tries to distract them by yelling anything that they think of as long as it is not obscene, and so long as they do not get out of their seats. It can get pretty nas- ty out there in the big leagues of typing baseball. Even though it ' s strange to hear batter, batter, batter, coming from a typing room Ms. Dobbs says, The students enjoy having a day off to play hardball at the typewriter. IREATHLESS.

A yearbook displays face after face, but they are not boring and meaningless. They are pictures of life that stir memories. Like a silent picture show, people that pass you are lifeless faces until you reach out to th em in friend- ship. Watching a silent picture is like flipping through the pages of an old yearbook where your memories fill in the gaps where the voices and songs could not be preserved. STRUGGLING TO SUCCEED.

A VIEW TO A KILL Close-Up A n air of excite- ment and expec- tancy filled the halls and classrooms. Everyone had somewhere to go or something to say. People ' s steps were a little lighter. Giddy laughter could be heard along with roaring voices. Classrooms were filled with restless kids who would not sit still or stop talking. Was it Christmas time, the start of spr- ing break, or the last day of school? No, but a perfect day for a funeral. It was 7:45 A.M. black Friday, and the funeral procession began. Students and teachers alike ar- rived outfitted in black funeral attire. Some dressed up in lacy dresses with shawls and veils, while others wore sweats or slacks. Mike Coldren wore a black and white polka-dot clown outfit and a blue wig to show his spirit. Ron Slaton was suited in a black gangster outfit, and Mrs. Bi- ble wore a black graduation robe accompanied by a bl3tk billed hat. Many joined in the spirit of the day, including a handful of nonconformist seniors and juniors, who came dressed as hippies. Late in the day, the pro- cession filed into the Coolman gymnasium. The viewing of the deceased began at about 2:00 P.M. Wabash students mourned the death of the Argyls, Madison-Grant ' s team, at the hand of the mighty Apaches. The service was quite informal. Those attending in- cluded: Jackie Bible, the eulogist; three mourners, Connie Gorman, Kim Oswalt, and Terrie Denny; the best-dressed mourners, Bev Rice 1st, Whitney Wertenberger 2nd; the entire faculty and stu- dent body of Wabash Jr.-Sr. High; and the mysterious casket. Although we never viewed the casket ' s contents, we suspected it held the remains of the defeated Argyls. The 1985 student council and cheerleading squad joined efforts to acquire the casket for the service. The funeral directer, Don Hughes, said that for various legal reasons he could not disclose the source of the casket. Even though the casket ' s origin remained a mystery, we had no doubt where the Argyls would be buried. They would be trampled into the ground by our renowned Apaches on the Alumni Field.

Eikenberry, prin- cipal at Wabash High School, comes from Fort Wayne. He went to Central Catholic High School. After graduating he attended Purdue University where he received his B.A. and Ball State University where he also earned his E.D.S. He sums up his first year at WHS as enjoyable. When asked about his relationship with the school board, Eikenberry replied, They are very supportive. He entered the field of education because he liked history and peo- ple. He taught for six years in Marion before assuming the helm at Wabash. He remarked, I am very happy with my move to Wabash. I like the school and the community. One important im- mediate problem he faced when he came to Wabash was finding a house, but there was another more ongoing problem he con- tinues to face — developing pride in Wabash High School. Eikenberry ' s approach to discipline is fair and consis- tent. I think people like to know what is expected of them. For his long-term goals as prin- cipal he includes developing stu- dent pride, encouraging a more involved attitude toward school, and working with the faculty to reach their potential. However, he ranks the following as real pluses at WHS: a good student body, a good curriculum, and a very devoted professional staff. In short, Mr. Eikenberry works to improve pride in our school, to be fair in discipline, and to dedicate himself to the needs of everyone he works with. MAKING THE ROUNDS.

No, just a cozy spring afternoon, but Mistie Calvin and Chris Mernitz (below) reminisce about Prom night as they flip through some snapshots. At the prom, in the convertible, or on the stereo headsets, John Cougar Mellancamp ' s brand of music set the mood for the nostalgic down home is great feeling which captured teenagers everywhere this year. It was 7:15 when we arrived at the Memorial Colesium in Fort Wayne. Peo- ple were buying their ' 86 Scarecrow tour shirts, buttons, posters, and bandanas. As we took our seats in the four- teenth row, I could feel that there was a different type of audience in attendance that night. Most of them were farmers, bikers, or middle-class working people. While we were waiting for the concert to start, Tommy Kiefaber played his harmonica and per- suaded everyone in our row to sing an improvisation of some old rhythm and blues tunes. And just then at 8;32, the lights went out and there was this tremendous roar that soared through the en- tire Colesium as everyone leaped to their feet. People were flicking their lighters and the whole auditorium turned into a gigantic Christmas tree. At this point, I knew sooner or later the walls were going to come Crumblin Down. This was the scene at the John Cougar Mellancamp concert in Fort Wayne on November 12. Cougar played a two and a half hour show that was split into two sets. His first set consisted of songs such as Small Town, Play Guitar, Jack and Diane, and I Need a Lover, a list of his . oldest and newest. During the first set, one lucky John Cougar fan was pulled up on stage to sing a chorus of Hand to Hold On To all by himself. Cougar spoke to the crowd about the impor- tance of the farmer, and told the people to write a letter to their Congressman expressing their opinions about the Midwestern farmer. He followed up his talk with the song, Rain on the Scarecrow, which is about a third-generation family farmer who loses his farm. After a fifteen minute break, John came back on stage for his second set which began with an eight-minute version of Crumblin Down. During this set, he played songs like Bet- ween a Laugh and a Tear, Authority Song, and Rock in the U.S.A. The main attraction of the concert though was the tune Pink Houses. This song projects three images which all people can relate to: The poor man, the middle-class American, and the uppercrust of society. It paints a picture of how each of these three groups lives and derives personal satisfaction out of life. The song is also a story of how the upper classes sometimes victimize the lower classes. The last forty-five minutes of the con- cert did not consist of any Cougar songs. Instead, he performed vin- tage rock-n-roll songs like Hush, Deep Purple, Moany Moany, and CCR ' s classic Proud Mary. Cougar ' s encore was the classic Under the Boardwalk. John Cougar Mellancamp is very special to Hoosiers because almost everything he writes about originates from Indiana people, Indiana countryside, and the Indiana way of life. Hoosiers link the ideas and images in his songs to themselves and to their native state. John Cougar, like Bruce Springsteen, gained popularity and respect in his home state and then moved on to a wider audience. Because of John ' s loyalty and love for his home state, it will always be nice to have him come home again. ADMIT ONE JOHN COUGAR Hipskind ' s Day D Close-Up here are days to appreciate fathers, mothers, grandparents, secretaries, teachers, and even groundhogs every year, but who has ever thought of having an assistant principal appreciation day? Mrs. Christie and the secretaries in the high school decided this was the year to honor our new assistant principal, Nancy Hipskind, with her own day. During Mrs. Hipskind ' s lunch, they (Mrs. Christie and company) sneaked into her office and began to decorate it for the occa- sion. Toilet paper was strung everywhere high and low, a sign reading Happy Assistant Principal ' s Day with balloons attached was hung above her door, and gifts with cards holding messages of appreciation were laid on her desk. Could this be the start of a new holiday? We don ' t really know, but it did seem that an interview was appropriate. Had you ever planned to become an administrator before you entered counseling? No. Counseling duties overlap with adminstration. These quasi-administration duties (scheduling etc.) sparked interest in administration for me. Is there a big difference between counseling and being an assistant principal? I like to think that I still do some counseling. In counseling my function was to help the students choose alternatives and to work through situations. Now I directly respond to some action of theirs. What are some of the problems with being a lone woman in an all-male administration? I am the only woman in the local meetings and one of few in the state-wide meetings: therefore, it is a great responsibility. In these meetings the male peers seem to be in a position to pass judgement on whether you, as a woman, are competent in your pro- fessional knowledge, judgement, etc. If I am incompetent, other women in ad- ministration are judged by my actions. It is a strange feeling. It must be the same feeling that minorities have. It ' s not bad; you feel a unquieness. Does being a woman, a small one at that, cause image problems for an assis- tant principal? I don ' t know. The kids are in a better position to answer this question, but I don ' t think so. Being a woman has been more help than a hindrance. What kind of problems cause the most headaches for the assistant principal? Lack of communication between people (students, faculty). On looking back at this year, what are the things you have done well? I don ' t know that I ' m in the position to decide that. I ' ve worked hard this year. I ' ve spent a lot of time with students and facul- ty; I ' ve tried to improve some communication, but I ' ve only been on one side of it. You would have to ask the students and faculty to find out if it ' s a reality. Was there an especially sad or scary moment you ex- perienced this year that you would like to share with us? Two members of my senior class were killed and five others were in an accident the night before graduation. I was young and remember getting crazy a couple times, but the thought of atten- ding a funeral of one of my students is scary. Prom-weekend and the weeks before graduation are the scariest. I care about my students. What things w ould you like to change or do differently? There ' s always room for improve- ment. We (the administration) have been working on a uniform tardy policy so the students know what to expect. IN A JUNGLE OF TOILET PAPER, Nancy Hipslcind enjoys ttie gifts of Assistant Principal ' s Dav.

Draw out every cent, of course! Well, you have such a bank and its name is Time. Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it rules off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no bal- ances. It allows no overdrafts. Each day it opens a new account with you. Each night it burns records of the day. If you fail to u se the day ' s deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the tomorrow. You must live in the present — on today ' s deposits. Invest it, to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success!!

Mike Richwine takes time out from his senior hall antics to pose during the ever-chaotic passing time. hen the lights dim and the last seniors have taken their bows, the curtain of high school is closed forever. They must then go new scene and act out their in a new stage of life. However, the curtain never really closes at WHS. It reopens again each fall with a brand new set of actors (freshmen) and some returning veterans (sophomores, juniors, and seniors, and of course, faculty and ad- ministration). Just as in a favorite movie, the setting is always the same, but each time the film is remade, the actors are different and perhaps the plot has been slightly rearranged. Each year ' s new. seniors will graduate just as the seniors before them did, and the year will be rerun again and again. So it goes. Still, the plot varies from year to year. The yearbook tries to capture the uniqueness of each new genera- tion with a brand new theme and maybe even a new philosophy of life. To replay a particular year, all one has to do is open his yearbook and say, Play it again, Sam. ADMIT ONE CLOSING in People Editor Chief Photographer Computer Operator Asst. Photographer Asst.
