We experienced many changes In leadershio, dances, registra- tion, graduation. The list goes on. And as students, we had a say in the changes that hap- pened. In the fall we voted from five different parties for the student council presidency. From those five, the leading team, seniors Tom Fleener and Dave Stenberg, won by only five votes. In November we had another decision to make. Ted Mondale and John Zacarro visited Ames High to encourage us to vote for their parents Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro. President Ronald Reagan was re-elected for a second term, but Geraldine Ferraro presented the idea of a female vice-president to the nation's voters. We also saw dances make a reappearance. After almost six months without a dance, except Prom, we began to have dances again, with few alcohol-related incidents. Homecoming and For- mal both experienced changes. Homecoming lost a bonfire and gained a free dance after tne coronation, Thursday night. The Christmas Formal changed its name to the Winter Formal so the name wouldn't descriminate against non-Chris- tians. Computer registration changed our semester break as well as our schedule. We had one less free day, but the standing in long lines and other hassles of self-scheduling were gone. As we saw the seniors graduate, a new batch of sophomores came in. [hese were, perhaps, the last set of sophomores to enter Ames High, be- cause rumour was, in 1986, freshmen would be at the high school. Another year passed and with the changes and improvements we realized we were A Cut Above. 4 July -a month for vacationing Along with scalding days, cold pools and lemonade, July brought a variety of activities for Ames High students. For many students July was a month for traveling. While some students went on traditional family vacations, others chose to go alone or with friends. Senior Sandra Herrera had a rather un- usual vacation. The Columbian foreign exchange student went on a trip or- ganized by her sponsor, the Rotary Club. Two hundred fifty students from 21 different countries participated in the trip that lasted one month and four days, Five buses and a van were used to drive the students all over the Unit- ed States. We started in Sharon, Pennsylvania and went West,” said Herrera. It was so much fun! We didn't get any sleep! We were dancing every night, break- ing the curfew! And we got to see so many places since we traveled 3000 miles. | especially loved San Fran- WRITE ON. Senior Nicki Murrell contributes to the grafitti on a wall in West Germany. JUST CLOWNING AROUND.

Ribbons were given out by 4-H, who held the contest. 4 S Preparing for school through summer camps Learning new skills, polishing old ones, or just having fun, were several reasons why students chose to attend summer camps or workshops. Senior Karen Brown participated in the National Cheerleaders Association- Camp held at lowa State University. During this four-day period Brown was selected as an All-American Cheer- leader finalist. “| had a lot of fun at cheer camp this summer. | liked meeting and working with the people on my squad. We had to get along to make it through four days of being together constantly. Junior Mark Yates attended a journal- ism camp at the University of Indiana in Bloomington. “It was a lot of hard work, said Yates. ‘| learned a lot about design, but not enough about journalism writing.” senior Alissa Kaplan was a counselor in training at Herzl Camp in Webster, Wis- consin. [his was a jewish camp, based in Minneapolis. b the camera. “We were called 'ozos', which is He- brew for ‘helpers,’ explained Kaplan. The ozos had to pay 125 dollars and submit an application. They did such things as working wifh campers, mop- ping floors, setting up docks and carry- ing luggage. Kaplan planned to return to the camp as a counselor the next summer. “t was hard work, but it was fun and very rewarding. For the first time in my life | learned to work with many people towards a common goal,” said Ka- plan, and added, It was great To take days off in Duluth and Minneapolis with the other ozos. One sophomore camper summed up his feelings, Camp was a great way to meet new friends, learn skills, and just relax while having fun.” CORN FLAKES?

(Photo by ISU). The 1984 Olympic games caused Sen- iors John Lambert and Katherine Middleton to journey to Los Angeles, California, Middleton and her family attended about seven different events. She said that the events her family attended were really cheap to get into. The most they paid was $45 per ticket for swimming events. The most Lambert paid was $33 for track and field tick- ets. Transportation on the other hand was expensive. The Middletons spent $96 on busses in two days. Of the four events Lambert saw, the first was track and field. We had in- credible seats! he said.

El Moutawakel, running for Morrocco, won her nation’s first gold medal ever by winning the Women's 400m Hurdles. 400m Hurdles. Harris finshed second only to Edwin Moses of the United States in the Men's 400m Hurdles.

Students would be more sure of the classes they would like to take and try a bit harder in those classes. © Many of the staff members felt that the new system was confusing and less efficient than the previous system. “Registration of juniors and seniors was more complex than we thought it would be.” said social studies teacher Bill Enquist. Therefore some students may have become frustrated with the long lines and made poor choices.” Sophomore Tara Fatka agreed, I'd heard that registration was supposed to be impossible, but it was actually pretty easy.

The 1984 presidential election gener- ated much interest nationally and within Ames High. President Ronald Reagan won nation- ally by one of the largest landslide vic- tories ever in a presidential election contrary to the mock election the Web staff conducted where Reagan won by just a whisker, 522-521. At school, Reagan was consistent in win- ning all grades, but Mondale topped the staff vote. Senior Brenda Pedigo said, “I was more interested in the election this year be- cause | worked for the Republican Par- ty for government. | felt Reagan did a great job first term and could keep improving our economy.” A special interest in the election of 1984 was that for the first time, a wom- an, Geraldine Ferraro, was included on the Democratic ticket.

In the past, each year there was a Christmas For- mal sponsored by the Senior Girl's Club. The 1984 dance was sponsored in part by the school, and therefore it could not have a religious affiliation. Following tradition, girls asked guys to the dance and most girls took their dates to dinner before attending the dance. | | think it's a good idea to have the | girs ask the guys because the guys have to ask for al of the other | dances. said senior Shaun Connolly. | Tickets for the event were eight dollars | a piece. The money raised from the tickets helped pay for refreshments, decorating, renting the room, and the band. Overall, however, the student body was dissapointed in the band. “Everything was fine except for the band, said senior Lori Green. You couldn't really dance to them. IT wasn't necessarily the Winter Formal itself that excited students, but all of the festivities that went along with them. These included renting tuxes, buying dresses, corsages, dinner, and of course, all of the parties after the formal. senior Craig Kinrade said, The best part of the formal was everything afterwards.” | Mistletoe madness increases ROLE REVERSAL.

The final color chosen was newport ‘blue.

She added, But | am really -looking forward to graduation.” 7? Soup's on for all The winter cold weather brought a new addition to the Ames High cafete- ria. While many people still used the express lane, hot lunch line, or bought Ice cream, some students and teach- ers changed over to the new soup line. The soup line attendance each day ranged from seven to sixteen students and faculty. There was usually one choice of soup. The soups selected from were tomato, chicken noodle, potato, cream of broccoli, clam chowder and vegetable. Kathy Nervig, the Foods Director at Ames High said, Since there was such a low attendance at the soup line, there had been some re-evaluating of the line, to see if it was a good idea.” SOUP DE JOUR.

But, as junior Nancy Her- OTT said, “One thing about France, or any other foreign country, is that the teenagers are like Americans. People go to a foreign country expecting to- tally different people but that's not true. The only different thing about the kids in France is that they speak French.” Once students got to France and dis- covered that this was true, some of the tensions left them and they could enjoy the trip even more. Senior Peter Liu said, It made you feel closer to the rest of the world by going to another country.” Though the French were similar to Americans, France wa s a much differ- ent country than the U.S. While there, the students visited chateaux, such as Chambord and Angers and wineries; D-DAY MEMORIAL.

In the fall, several students openly de- clared their homosexuality, and be- cause of this declaration, these stu- dents were harrassed by other stu- dents who were less tolerant of alter- native lifestyles. 1 E DINEM o AT first ift was mainly kept quiet, buf the Ames Iribune and Des Moines Register picked up on the story and some felt it became blown out of proportion. After weeks several, however, the tension died down, and for much of the school, if was considered a closed subject. The student council then de- ۹٣ cided to present two assemblies, on Ta April 26 and 30, to give students a ص٦‎ chance to hear opposing views on ho- mosexuality. “| thought it was kind of stupid that they brought all that back up. If had sort of died down,” said sophomore Sean Kearney. Mrs. Adele Star, who had one gay son, came to the school from California to speak at the first assembly. She talked about how she and her husband at- tended a support group for parents of homosexuals, and how they had ac- cepted the fact that their son was gay. She stressed t he opinion that ho- mosexuals should be accepted into society, not shunned. The opposing view was presented at the second assembly by Rev. Richard Stierlen of the First Assembly of God Church in Ames. He used biblical pas- sages to support his message that ho- mosexuals are a menace and if a soci- ety accepts them, that society is no- ticeably weakened. IT HAPPENED TO ME. Finding out her son was homosexual shocked Mrs. Adele Star at first, but she explained to the student body how she learned to accept her son, and encouraged others to do so, also.

The gymnastics team had participants who were state contenders. During the middle of the season, senior Annie Dougan was ranked second in the all-around competition. Not only were teams improving, but facilities were also. A new $44,600 softball field was built in the south practice field, by the pool. This gave the softball team more space to practice pat- ting, throwing and pitching. As we worked to improve, we became aware of the stamina necessary to be atheletes and strong competitors.

Inexperience due to the lack of play- ing time, and youth due fo an abun- dance of younger players. Arnes High had a total of 39 summer and fall games, while many other opposing teams had 39 summer games alone. We felt very optimistic going into the season. We had a lot of returning start- ers coming back and our junior varsity produced plenty of younger players, said Head Coach Bud Legg. However, as the season turned out, the returning starters and the younger players didn't help out through a tough schedule. They lost a total of five games by three runs or less. Offensively, the Little Cyclones were led at the plate by senior Dana See- hafer with a .311 batting average, and by senior Barb Farrar who drove home 43 runs. Senior Lisa Lemanczyk domi- nated the defensive categories, with 93 put-outs, and a fielding percentage of .938. Since our team was so youna. we needed a lot of leadership, and | was willing to help out the team in any way | could, said Lemanczyk. Legg felt that the seniors did a fine job of showing leadership. Coach Legg added that the fall sea- son gave the more serious softball players a chance to improve. The sea- Players stay optimistic throughout the season son also allowed players more playing time together. Near the end of the year, we started playing well togeth- er, but there was still plenty of room for improvement, said Coach Legg. Explaining why they lost the close games, Coach Legg felt the team needed to develop more consistency. Coach Legg said they had good team speed, and a good defense, but they needed to be strengthened up and down the batting order. Coach Legg also added that the pitc hing must also get stronger in order to do well in their summer season. “The fall season is used as a pre-sea- son workout for the up-coming sum- mer season. At the end of the fall, we had some insight into the next summer. We had started to work as a team, but we couldn't pull through the crucial sit- uations,“ added Coach Legg. summing up the season, senior Mi- chelle Tannehill concluded, Since we were a young team, our attitude stayed positive throughout the sched- ule. Hopefully, that attitude will carry onto the summer season.” Keeping this strong and positive attitude, along with some needed experience, the Lit- tle Cyclones went into a tough sum- mer schedule with promising expecta- tions. $ A i RUNNING HOME.

Leading the way were four seniors. Our leadership took different forms. Jeff Burris led by his perfor- mances, Greg Worley led by his dedi- cation, and Dave Voss and Scott Whigham by their desire to win. Our seniors really took charge this year, said head coach John Sletten. Burris certainly did lead the way for his team. Highly talented as a half-miler in track, Burris also excelled in the two- mile competition. He often led the way for the team by winning the Metro Conference individual crown, and placing second in the state meet.

It shows you that streaks can sometimes go against you, said Coach Sletten. Ending the season with the state meet, Coach Sletten felt very confident. “Heading into the meet, we were run- ning strong. But then the only thing | feared happened: the State meet virus. The boys were running fine, but at the last turn, the disease hit us, and we couldn't pull through. Ames fin- ished third, behind Clinton and Mar- shalltown. Coach Sletten felt that since four sen- iors were graduating, a new leader will have to emerge either during the off- season or the spring track season. Ju- nior Scott Moore, who ran in his first state meet, felt the same way. “Our leadership wil have to really stress team concept, Moore concluded. SIDE BY SIDE.

Although no formal team goals were set, Green felt the team's goals were fo repeat our conference and district victories, to place as well as last year at state (third), and to keep a healthy team. | was pleased with the girls’ attitudes toward long distance running, said Coach Schmaltz. After the first meets we got to know each other better. We got into the swing of things, and really made pro- gress,” commented Kristi Burns. Coach Schmaltz designed individual workouts for the runners so the maxi- mum amount of progress could be made. Incoming freshmen were not expected to run at the same level as experienced runners. The season's highlight was winning both the conference and district meets for the second year in a row. At the Metro Conference Meet, 5th, 6th, and 8th place finishes by Burns, Birds- eye, and Green respectively, led AHS to their victory. The team won the district title, finishing 13 points ahead of second place, Sioux City Heelan. A sixth place finish at state was a dis- appointment for many team mem- bers. “We were shooting for tops, but any time a team can finish sixth in The state, we should be happy, said Coach Schmaltz. Coach Schmaltz felt the girls had a good attitude going into state.” Birds- eye took 24th, leading AHS. Stover took 30th; Green, 39th; Burns, 57th; and Coady, 86th. Throughout the season runners shared their joys and their problems with each other. Stover said, This was a memo- rable cross-country team because we all became close friends. Green reflected, We had a winning season, not just a winning record. We won as a team because we were loyal to each other and encouraged each other.” GIRLS’ CROSS COUNTRY.

And after the first three games, he still didn't know. Taking into consideration that the first four teams Ames played were rated in | the Top 10, Ames stil came out above water. Caoch Daddow compared the | opponehts as starting out with the Í Hawkeyes, then playing Nebraska and Oklahoma- all national powerhouses in the college rankings. Senior Charles Vondra, a standout at AHS for the past two years added, Fort Dodge, Val- ley, and Dowling were all ready tough teams. Our team showed how tough we were though, when we came back and won our last four games. ` The gridders started out on the wrong track, losing their first Three games. Then at Homecoming, against Roose- velt (the 10th ranked team in the state), Ames pulled an upset in over- time, 28-27. Beating the Roughriders really told our team that we could play with anyone in the Metro Confer- ence, said junior linebacker Doug Clock. Ames finished with a winning season and a first division spot in the conference with a 5-4 record. On the offensive side, senior Tom Sha- keshaft completed 65 of 155 passes. Senior Chris Benson caught 25 passes, to lead the conference in receiving. Charles Vondra was the team's lead- ing rusher with 661 yards for a 4.9 yard per carry average. Defensively, Vondra and senior Mark Criner had 78 and 59 tackles, respec- tively. Bob Devens and Kevin Hansen each had 4 interceptions to lead the secondary. Our defense was prob- ably the most consistent aspect of our team this year. It helped us in a lot of tight situations, and | was glad fo be a part of it, said Devens. Closing out the season with four con- secutive wins, including a season ena- ing 35-0 thumping over arch-rival Mar- shaltown, gave momentum for the team to carry on to next year. With some help from an undefeated sopho- more team, junior Tim Stenberg had high hopes for the 1985 season. `I think we have the talent to have another successful season, and a berth to the ‘85 State Playoffs. We know what it takes to get it done, and | just hope we can do it, concluded Stenberg. HOLD ITI! Mark Criner and Mark Pelzer stop tne Valley Tiger runningback as he enters Cyclone territory.

The sophomore football team did just that in winning nine games and losing none. Thus, if be- came the first undefeated football team at Ames High in over 20 years. Unity was a major factor according To Head Coach Dale Tramp. “The team was a unified, cohesive group, being friends both on and off the field, he said. The sophomores finished the season with a climactic victory over long-time rival Marshalltown, 29-6. A week earlier they had clinched the Metro Confer- ence Championship with a win over East 50-6, to finish 7-O in conference play. Quarterback John Glotfelty led an of- fensive unit that, according to Caoch Tramp, could score at almost any mo- ment. To make up for their lack of size, the offense was designed for the squad's quickness. “The offensive line was nothing but great. They took pride in how much damage they could do, ` said the coach. Unity — key to Sophs' undefeated season Complementing Gloffelty in the back- field were tailoacks Jeff L. Johnson and Todd Coe. Fullback Don Erbach was one of the better fulloacks I've had,” the 25th year coach said. Dan Knight was Ames leading receiver and made many very crucial receptions. Defensively, the team started slow, then gained momentum as the season progressed. The defense took pride in keeping up with the offensive unit. They didn't want to let them down,” said Coach Tramp. [he defensive secondary was solid throughout the campaign, led by many very good athletes. According to Coach Tramp, the line was the big- gest surprise. Many times they were much smaller than the opposition buf their pride and determination kept them going. When the offense scored, it inspired the defense To play all that much tougher, said Coach Tramp. Jeff L. Johnson summed it up best by saying | think this will be a season ev- eryone will remember. ` SOPHOMORE FOOTBALL.

The team scored an average of 127.43 points a meet and put together a season-high of 132.05 at DM East. These scores were about 30-35 points fewer than in previous years because tumbling was dropped from lowa prep meets. “The Metro was not an extremely tough conference, commented Lyn- ott. However, Ames was challenged by teams such as Linn-Mar, Clinton, Bettendorf and Mason City. Team members were especially pleased with their victory over Marshalltown, a competitive Team in previous years. Coach McGivern concluded that much improvement was made by the end of the season.

The Little Cyclones finished third in the conference behind Metro champs West Des Moines Dowling and West Des Moines Valley. It was to be a re- building year as the squad had lost more than half its starters in 1984. Tough opponents filed the schedule as Ames went 7-5 in dual meet competi- tion. We schedule tough teams to give us better competition, so it's hard to judge wins and losses, Mendenhall said. Some of Ames' foes were state champions Fort Dodge, Mason City, Osage, Dowling and Valley - all known as perennial powerhouses. At times during the season, the team showed some inconsistencies that could be attributed to the squads lack of experience. Of the 13 weight classes, only three were filled by sen- iors: Dan Koch (138), Rich Humphrey (167) and Bruce Jarvis (185). “This was a very young team experience-wise. Most had little, if any, varsity exper- lence before, said Mendenhall.

Four wrestlers advanced from the Dis- tricts to qualify for the State Touma- ment. At State, junior Sean Watt re- ceived a second place finish at 98 Ibs. and 145-pound junior Bob Thompson was third. Sophomore heavyweight Paul Weltha and junior super- heavyweight Bobby Metzger also qualified but failed to place. Ames captured twelfth place in the team scoring. Thompson, Watt, junior Mike Haw- baker and senior manager Andy Flynn were elected captains and led the squad of 40 wrestlers. Mendenhall felt that they displayed their leadership in their hard work and participation. He said, | was real pleased with the team attitude and the work in the practice room was exceptional. ` Mendenhall was very optimistic about the 1985-86 season since most of the wrestlers would be returning and the four state qualifiers would also be back.

The team ended their season 3-11 in the Metro, and 4-15 overall. Although the record didn't show the success the team hoped fo reach, the season had other positive aspects. Ihe season reflected a great improvement from the previous year, commented Legg. and showed progress with each game. The varsity team of the pre- vious year ended with a 2-16 record.

Sophomore Time-Out Games Sophomore Boys’ Basketball ——————————M ooo, 0 0 0 0 83 intramural Basketball New column covers season, provides deserved recognition While many students played basket- ball on the varsity squads, others liked spending their Wednesday afternoons playing intramural basketball or I-ball. We had about 190 boys out this year and that's up from last year,” said Mr. Keith Hilmer, boy's |-ball coordinator. Senior captain Chris Hill said, The best thing was that anybody could go ouf for it and you didnt have fo be a spectacular basketball player to do it. I-ball was great for me because | was a captain so | had a lot of power. I controlled the team and | got to play the whole game if | wanted. Players were chosen by a draft proce- dure with the captains taking turns picking players from a list of students signed up for l-ball. My team was the best part of I-bal l, and getting to the finals wasn't bad either. Attendence has to be im- proved though. We had a lot of forfeits because players didn't show up,” said senior captain Adrienne Erbach. Attendence was a problem with the girls, never with the boys, Mr. Hilmer said. A special addition to the |-ball season was The I-Ball Corner” a column in the Web written by senior Dan Emmerson. In his column, Dan chose an |-ball Player of the Week.

The threesome of Horton, sophomore Erik Haugen and freshman Bill Hoefle con- sistently carded the lowest scores. Unlike past years, warm weather in the spring allowed the boys team to prac- tice a lot before the meets. “I think it hurt some of us to play so much in the pre-season; some of us peaked out too early, said junior Mike Jenkins.

The sectional tournament was also tough competition for the team. Sometimes the inexperience of the team showed during pressure situa- tions to win meets. In one case, junior Laura Thompson, the number-one player, aggravated a forearm injury during the D.M. Valley meet and was forced to sit out of her number-two doubles match. The number-ten giri, freshman Sara Jons, who had never played above number-five doubles, found herself playing number-two dou- bles. To add to Jons anxiety, the girls needed the match to win the meet. ٦ never stopped shaking during the match, said Jons. “I'd never played such good people before and that overwhelmed me a bit.” Valley ended up winning the meet six-five. Not to take anything away from the Metro conference, Thompson said, There was some really tough compe- tition this year. You've got to give credit where it's due, especially since many of the girls we played were ranked in the state.” The sectional tournament in Marshall- town on May 24 proved to be tough A 94 d A. Lee ۲ for the girls. Overall, Ames finished fourth out of eight teams. Doubles teams of seniors Lisa Huber and Barb Farrar, and Dana Seehafer and Melin- da Hendrickson only made it to the second round in the tournament. Dana Seehafer said, The smaller schools were difficult, and we did as well as could be expected at sectionals.” The other two players who went to sectionals were senior Julie Slater and Thompson. Both were beaten in sin- gles. One thing in favor of the team was the depth that the players had. Some schools had strong players in the first three or four spots in their line-up; the ability sacked off afterwards. As Coach Len Thiede said, Unlike past years, there was not a real standout player. Our girls were strong all the way to number-ten. There was a bit of difference between two and three, but the rest of the way down the abili- ty was very close. Many varsity players were expected ` to retum next year with more exper- ience than before.

The team improved its 1984 perfor- mance of 7-4 to an impressive 9-2 dual meet record. With the help of the sen- iors’ leadership, the 22-member team qualified for first-ever Team State Tournament. Senior Brad Schabel commented, `I feel that the team qualifying for team state is more important than sending a couple of players to individual state.

The netters finished with a 5-2 Metro Conference record earning them third place in the conference. Coach Bob Gibbons was pleased with how the team competed as the season pro- gressed.

The assistant coach was Mickey Stolp, a former state qualifier from Council Bluffs, Lewis Central. Coach Stolp helped the team by playing the top players to get them prepared for though matches. Senior Jim Fenton said, “Mickey was easy to communi- cate with because he used to play for a state-calliiber team. He knew what was needed in order to win tough matches.” The 1986 team was expected to be young, but would have good exper- ience backing it. The returning four let- terwinners should help the team get ready for the next season.

The track team ended its undefeated f regular season with a fourth place fin- lish at the 1985 State Track and Field Championships. Ames, always known as a track pow- er, displayed their strength throughout the season by winning all dual and multi-team meets against many of the state's top teams. Throughout the spring, Ames's stiffest competition came from eventual 1985 State Champions and past Big 8 arch- rival Marshalltown. In the four meets ? the Little Cyclones faced Marshall- ? town, the Bobcats’ strength and depth ` couldnt match Ames’ as they pulled ۲ out four meet victories. ‘In the State Meet, though, it was Mar- shalltown that had the upper hand. E D ; : The Bobcats were first with 54 points. Bettendorf and DM Roosevelt tied for second with 32 points, and Ames and ' WDM Valley tied for fourth with 34 ؟‎ points. ۲ Mental errors and unfortunate situa- tions hurt the team at the State Meet. For example, the 4x400 unit finished | third in the relay final which would have provided the Little Cyclones the nec- essary six points needed for a second place team finish. Unfortunately, the squad was disqualified for a lane viola- tion. Fourteen Ames tracksters qualified for the State Meet. Senior tri-captain Jeff | Burris led the Little Cyclones’ charge with a first place in the open 800m run and anchored the 1600m medley and 4x800m relays to a second place finish. The mediey consisted juniors Matt Jones and Darren Milliken and senior Bob Devens along with Burris. Teamed with Burris in the 4x800 were sopho- mores Brett Carney and John Burris and senior Scott Whigham. At State, school records were broken in the open 800 by Burris, the medley and the 4x800. Burris ran 1:54.82, the medley did 3:29.48, and the 4x800 was clocked in 7:47.46, under the lowa All- time Best. Senior Jerry Hill finished third in the 110m high hurdles and Carney placed third in the open 800 in 1:56.56. Three of the top five teams at State are from the Metro, so you can see the type of competition we've faced all spring,” said tri-captain Kurt Hockman, Even with such tough opponents, Ames won the Metro Conference track title for the second year in a row. Ames had only been in the Metro for two years. The season had several highlights, such as Burris’ outstanding performances meet after meet. Senior Gary Simpson won the Metro pole vault title and cleared 13-6” several times. Hill and junior Chad Greimann were consid- ered the top two hurdles in the state for much of the season and senior fri- captain Greg Worley had the fifth best time in the 3200m in Class 4A. He also qualified for state in the 1600m run. BOYS’ TRACK. Front Row: Michele Michaud, mgr.

The 1985 girls softball team looked like they could fill the bill. Legg molded his squad around four re- turning seniors. Third baseman Dana Seehafer, who received Metro Con- ference honorable mention last sum- mer, was back after leading the team in hitting and fielding a year ago. was joined by catcher Amy Myers and out- fielders Michelle Tannehill and Nancy Ostendorf. The team was missing a few key play- ers. Senior starter Barb Farrar, Metro conference honorable mention, toured Europe and the Soviet Union as a Presidential Ambassador, while sen- iors Julie Stoeker and Lisa Lemanczyk chose not to return. “You always hate to lose good players no matter what the reason, Legg said, But we have good depth and we are having a good season. The one thing that Legg said would be a great advantage was that the team could now have a real home field ad- vantage. This was the first time the Little Cy- clones got their chance to host teams on their own diamond. In previous years the girls played all of their home games at North River Valley Park. This summer marked the opening of the brand new softball field at the high school. The lighted diamond was con- structed last summer. senior Amy Myers said, When we play we feel more comfortable because we can practice there. When you're comfortable you can concentrate on winning. The team combined great quickness and power hitting for a strong offen- sive unit which proved successful. An- other asset was team attitude. “We were like a family and that made us play better, said junior Stacy Jacob- son. Sophomore Emily Schaefer agreed. She said, Everyone seems to get along, and it's a team sport. When we get along so well together it's a lot easier to win.” Legg said the Metro again looked to be full of talented teams, while the Little Cyclones also played a rigorous non-conference schedule. Sophomore Shannon Scherr didn't find this to be a disadvantage, “H's really exciting, but it's better to keep busy. Ames chal- lenged the top two teams from last fall's state championships, Ankeny and Boone, and took on county rivals Ne- vada and Roland-Story. The softball team anticipated a great season with a new diamond and a strong team. Even without three key players, we four seniors worked to- gether to lead our last high school team to a successful season, said senior Michelle Tannehill. a Ne MAKING THE PLAY.

However, he said, “We never have enough pitchers and are always looking for the third, fourth, and fifth place pitcher positions.” As long as Dave Beitz is pitching, things wil go well, said Shakeshaft. Beitz compiled a record of 5-2 with a 2.13 E.R.A. in 1984. He was named to the first team All-Metro and second team All-District. Team members generally felt that the Metro was a tough conference. “I feel that if we were in the Big Eight Confer- ence, the competition would be much tougher, said Chieves. Coach Pose- gate felt both conferences were equally difficult. Special AHS Baseball schedules were printed and distributed for the first time. Each schedule was printed on the reverse side of a picture of one of the eleven returning letterwinners. A hundred and fifty cards were given to each player to distribute once they had earned more than $90 for the Marathon game.

Games Baseball 103 104 JV plays vital role in improving athletes and teams A very important part of athletics at Ames High was the junior varsity teams and their participants. Their competi- tiveness and desire to win helped their respective teams to improve through the seasons. During the fall, the JV softball team compiled a record of 5-2 while as many as 15 girls saw action. Because seven seniors graduated after the summer season, Head Coach Bud Legg was very optimistic. The exper- ience the girls will have by playing on the JV should start reaping in the benefits next fall, he said. Another coach who was optimistic about the next season was JV base- ball coach Craig Kruger. He returned several fine players from last summer's 42-7 squad. Although the JV football team ended the season with a 41-4 record, Coach Bob Jeffery said that it was successful in that, ‘some players who didn't play on the varsity at the beginning of the season, played on the JV team and gained experience. Then they played quite a lot at the varsity level near the end of the season.” The boys’ and girls cross country teams finished another fine season last fall. The girls were unbeaten in all but two meets. That accomplishment could be attributed to very good in- ner-team competition That improved the girls’ performance, said Coach Kirk Schmaltz. While, as sophomore Brittany Wombacher put it, “JV gives you good competition without too much pressure. Boys' Coach John sletten said he felt the key to a good varsity program is a good JV pro- gram. The boys’ and girls’ basketball teams displayed good attitudes and re- mained confident as they played many tough games. The boys finished with a 4-4 record while juniors Bob Cox and Chad Greimann saw action in sev- eral varsity games. 'My experience on JV made it easier to play varsity be- cause it gave me confidence and ex- perience,” said Greimann. The girls ended the season with a win over Des Moines East to improve to 4- (Games J. V. Sports D However, Coach Legg felt that the win-loss record made no difference, stating that the main purpose is fo develop skills, gain experience, and have fun.” In wrestling, there were quite a few JV competitors who had the opportunity to wrestle varsity. This was partly due to meets being scheduled close fo each ofher, and wrestlers at certain weights would rotate into the starting line-up. Coach Jack Mendenhall s team competed everytime there was a varsity dual and also had three tour- naments to participate in. Sophomore Brett Carney said, The JV meets were just like varsity meets to me. | still gef really fired up to wrestle. ` For a hockey team that was one of the best in the state, the JV team was very important. About one-half of the JV team played in varsity games. In some cases, varsity players played a different position in JV to gain exper- iene at those positions. The team, coached by Noel Erickson, was ex- pected to win the JV State Tourna- ment for the third year in a row. The track teams continued to domi- nate the track scene and that could partly be credited to the fine JV pro- grams. Junior varsity competitors pushed their varsity teammates and kept them honest,” according TO Coach Sletten. In track, an athlete's performance is not subjective. Ihe athlete with the lower time or the high- er jump will be the one competing at the varsity level, he said. Girls’ coach, Jim Duea, was optimistic about the spring season as his team returned several key performers from last year's squad. The JV programs at AHS were very beneficial to both the participants and the teams. To players who normally wouldn't get much playing time, JV was a valuable way of gaining exper- ience, improving skills, and having fun. IN YO' FACE.

The athletes were chosen to the All-State and or All-Metropolitan Conference teams by coaches, sportswriters and confer- ence selection committees. Headlining the selections were two of lowa's most-celebrated track per- formers. Since their sophomore sea- sons, seniors Jeff Burris and Karen Koellner had received state and na- tional exposure. Burris was a two-sport athlete for Ames High, track and cross country. Finishing second in the 1984 State Cross Coun- try Meet, he was invited to the All- American Cross Country Champion- ships in Denver, Colorado. Burris was a member of the 1983 state champion 4x800 meter relay team, and in 1984 anchored the 1600m sprint medley, 4x400, and the 4x800 relay teams to secona, third, and fourth places, re- spectively, at the State Meet. Head Track Coach John Sletten said, (Bur. ris) is definitely one of the best middle distance runners | have ever coached.” Owning school records in the 400, 800, and sprint medley relay, Burris was considered the state's fop middle distance runner. Koellner had been in the spotlight since her freshman season when she ran one of the fastest quarter miles in lowa. As a sophomore, Koellner received Hon- orable Mention All-American honors for her performances in the 100m hurdles and 400m dash. She had won eight state titles and established numerous meet, school, and conference records along the way. At the 1983 State Meet, Koellner scored 28 of Ames’ 29 points as the team placed third. Foot injuries kept her out of competition for FOOTBALL All-State Charles Vondra, 3rd Team, DB Chris Benson, Special Mention, WR All-Metro Charles Vondra, 4st Team, LB Chris Benson, 1st Team, WR Tom Shakeshaft, 1st Team, QB Chuck Arnold, 1st Team, DT Kevin Hansen, 1st Team, DB Matt Carney, 2nd Team, OT Games onors for performance much of her junior season. Then, as a senior, she once again dominated the track, leading Ames to the Metro title and breaking four records at the 1985 State Meet. Karen is one of the out- standing girl track athletes that has ever competed in lowa, not just be- cause of her performance, but also because of her versatility, said Head Coach Jim Duea. In addition to those two outstanding athletes, there were many others who helped Ames High shine throughout the seasons. Sophomore Don Erbach helped Ames was selected the top defenseman of the Midwest, in hock- ey. Football player Charles Vondra, a sen- ior, was voted the team's Most Valu- able Player and was invited to play in the annual Shrine Bowl game for the North squad. Junior Phil Bishop easily dominated the diving boards throughout the season and won the diving championship by more than 100 points. Wrestlers Sean Watt and Bob Thomp- son, both juniors, placed second and third, respectively, at the 1985 State Tournament. They, plus other squad members, competed in National Freestyle Wrestling Tournaments to im- prove their skills. Senior Anne Dougan was one of the top gymnasts in the state, placing fourth in the all-around, and second in the uneven parallel bars. She was named to the All-State team as a freshman and junior, also. These All-State and All-Metro athletes, as well as the many more who partici- pated throughout the seasons, helped make Ames High teams a cut above. Marty Kiser, 2nd Team, TE Doug Glock, 2nd Team.

Bear is not only a good trainer, but a great person to be around,'' said senior foot- ball manager Geoff Goudy. Being a trainer for all sports, Bear often had a busy schedule.

(Photo by Chris Benson) Spirit fires up the crowd When the team or fans needed a lift there were a few groups that could get the job done. These groups were the cheerleaders, matmaids and members of the pep band. Cheerleaders help the crowd get ex- cited which | think helps the players, said winter captain Lori Van Sickle. Besides cheering the team on to victo- ry, the cheerleaders did a lot of be- hind-The-scene work, such as poster making, organizing pep assemblies, and conducting fund raisers. Most peope don't realize that this takes more time than the actual cheering, ` said fall co-captain Jenny Bower. During the wrestling season, matmaids attended the meets, cheered and en- couraged the wrestlers. Matmaids were assigned one or more wrestlers and decorated their lockers, bought them candy or baked them cookies before the meets. Being a matmaid gets us to know the wrestlers better, and they really appreciate the things we do for them,” said senior Te- resa Suarez. While the cheerleaders were cheering, the pep band played for the crowd, and according to drummer Bob Smith- son, The response to the upbeat mu- sic and drum playing was immediate. Without the pep band at the basket- ball games, it would be very boring. The band really gets the crowd mov- ing, said senior Julie Slater. While some said cheerleaders didn't do anything to fire up the crowds and teams, others thought that they were needed very much. “| think cheer- leaders are one of the things that aren't appreciated much when they're around, but they would be missed if they weren't, said Bower. | think the cheerleaders, mat maids, and pep band do a great job of firing up the crowd and raising school spirit, said senior Stacy Dalton.

Throughout the state and the nation, Ames High was well- known for its bright students and excellent classes. As usual we had a large number of National Merit scholarship semi-finalists. Fifteen seniors got the nonor after receiving their PSAT scores. We also did extremely well on other college boards. With an average score of 22 on the ACT, we had the secondi highest score in The state where the aver- age score was 20. Not only were we improving, but so were our facilities. A new computer lab was put into the old drafting room. This lab helped to accomodate our growing interest in disks, Apple computers and word processing. During the fall, a $68,000 greenhouse was built onto The science wing and provided the biology students a chance to study botony and grow such plants as poinsettas and Easter lillies. We also had exceptional teachers helping us with litmus paper, the cosine of 35 and the correct way to give an after-dinner speech.

English teacher Mrs. LoAnn Campbell said, “Anytime a student gets more practice in using the language, it im- proves the skills.” If you're one of the winners, then your name is sent to colleges with good writing programs so that you will be contacted,” said Mrs. Campbell about the National Council of Teachers of English writing contest in which juniors Erica Fuchs, Suzie Merideth, and David Hoss WON.

From the students’ point of view, this was also the case. Adult living was a class in which student discussed responsibilities of adulthood. Cathy Duke, junior, said, 'You learned how to cope when you move away from home, not only mentally but also financially. You were around other people a lot and it was a class fo re- member when youre out in the world. After college, many people choose to get married and have a family. Child Development was a class that could prepare students for this. Junior Leah Pease said, “You learned how to plan a family. Also you learned the devel- opment of children, emotionally and physically.” In terms of Home Economics, most people associated the name with food. Creative Foods and Foods To- day were two classes in which stu- dents spent much time preparing and learning about food. We do a lot of Classes Preparing For Adulthood labs in the classroom and the kitchen that made the student a more aware and healthy consumer,’ said Mrs. Schepers. Junior Kris Dane said of Creative Foods, - You learned about a variety of foods and how to prepare meals. Also, you learned about setting the table and etiquette. Diane Brendeland, junior, said of Foods Today, It was like the Creative Foods class, but you learned about foreign foods and the type of equipment most people use in the kitchen.” Home Economics was a class that could improve students’ attitudes and social behavior. Mr. Reggie Greenlaw, teacher in the Special Education De- partment said, It taught the students how to get along with others.

Senior, Lisa Moore said, They were the same as the PSAT. | thought that they were kind of easy and found myself pretty much prepared for them.” some colleges required their appli- cants TO take an Achievement Test. Unlike the SAT's or ACT's, students could take this test at any time in high school. Last year many sophomores took the Biology Achievement test. Ju- nior Heather Selman said, “I didn't real- ly prepare for them and got the score that | expected. There were many things on the test that we never learned.” Some of the other Achieve- ment Tests that students took were ones in Physics, Mathematics, and Eng- lish Composition. “The important thing to remember about the College Board’s entrance exams, is that they are only important in extreme test scores. If a student does poorly on a test, that could show that they aren't prepared to go into that particular field of study,” said Mr. Larry Zwagerman. Testing The College Boards are used to find out how proficient a student is in certain fields of study. They show how prepared the student is in a certain area of study.

Contrary to popular belief, these stu- dents did not spend all their free time studying, although they admitted they sometimes studied up fo six hours a night, depending on the amount of homework they were assigned. Jeff Hartman said one clue to his aca- demic success was that he always kept up with daily assignments, so he didn't fall behind.

Most of the top students believed that colege preparation was emphasized at AHS. Rowena Young, as several of the other top students, prepared her- self for colege by taking such courses as Calculus, Honors Chemistry and classes, extra activities Composition for the College-bound. In order to be thoroughly prepared for college, “take all the classes you can,” advised Steve Fehr, another top student. Classes were not the only activity in which these top students were in- volved. Andrew Balinsky said it’s impor- tant to get involved in things besides schoolwork, to join clubs and other ac- tivities.” Balinsky was involved with Speech Club, tennis, AHS Soccer Club, and student council. Looking back, | wish | would have got- ten more involved in other activities,” said Janelle Bunde, expressing the feelings of several of the top students. Aerobics classes, a job, church activi- ties, plays, and schoolwork kept Bunde DUusy. Chuck Knox, Anja Trebes, or any of the other straight “A” students, were the first to admit that earning good grades took much time and committment. Nina Leacock said, No one thing is right for everyone. A person should do what they want to.” For Leacock and nine other students, academic achievement was right for them.

English is required, along with other courses. As every senior knows, government was a required class. “It is one of the very few high school courses required by law. In the area of social studies, all students are required to take one semester of American His- tory and one semester of American Government — any additional re- quirements for graduation are the op- tion of the local school board, said Richard Schneider, a U.S. Government teacher. Many students were perturbed by the fact that U.S. Government was a re- quired course, but senior Kathy Lynott said, `I think it's important to take gov- ernment in order to learn something about our nation's system. This course isn't too hard and you can get some- thing out of it.” Seniors weren't the only students grip- ing about required social studies Classes Requirements Requirements “Every student should real- Ge that there is more to education than how fo make a living — each per- son also needs to examine how to live their life.” Richard Schneider Social Studies Teacher courses. Sophomore were required to take one year of history, TAE or Survey of American History. TAE teacher Rich- ard White said, By it's organization, TAE provides an alternative to the eighth grade American History pro- gram.” “This approach is enhanced by the practice of students switching teach- ers between semester. TAE challenges students to understand and learn his- tory from an interesting frame of refer- ence. Yet another required course was Phys- ical Education. It was required all three years of high school. As a sophornore, students were required to take one semester of Health and Swimming. sophomore Kim Davis said, | don't mind it; it's fun sometimes. Another sophomore, Brian Jarnagin said, Swimming is important. You don't re- alize you needed it until you need to know how to swim. Every student should realize that there is more to education than how to make a living — each person needs to examine how to live their life and the required courses fulfill this, said Mr. Schneider. “Subjects like English, literature, math, and science are all necessary for an individual to function with a minimal degree of literacy and competency in today's society.

Homework was what teachers assigned students fo improve study habits, to review and drill lessons, and to finish work which wasn't finished in the classroom. Most students were assigned at least an hour of homework each day. Whether the student did it or not de- pended on his her attitude towards school. Many students felt homework was necessary, even if they didn't get it all finished. Junior Suzie Merideth said, Homework is a necessary evil. | feel that by getting it done, it should im- prove my grades. Junior Michelle Gelina said that her homework taught her discipline. She said the homework forced her not to procrastinate and to complete it be- fore it piled too high. Many juniors complained about all the homework they had, but sophomores and seniors didn't have it easy, either. sophomore Chris Okiishi, a student in- volved in all three sophomore honors classes and in calculus, said, “Having lots and lots of homework teaches you one important thing in life: setting prior- les 138 nr Senior Michelle Johnston agreed. She said, “This year | was really busy with my job. Sometimes | had to make a decision about what to do and what not to do. Some teachers felt that homework was necessary to improve and prac- tice the skills learned in the classroom., Mr. Bob Gibbons said that homework “helos the students actualy under- stand the concepts that are present- ed, and develops good self-discipline and study habits.” The type of homework we use in biol- ogy helps them (students) organize the concepts and material involved in each unit, he added. Mr. Phil Johnson said, Ihe student gains the knowledge of whatever he she is learning by repetition, wheth- er it be math of some other subject. Mr. Johnson also said, Schoolwork, not homework, makes you a better student by allowing you to learn from repetition. ` When junior Miya Sioson was asked what she gained from homework she said, A migraine headache, a cola, and dizziness ...

Student Council also experienced an Increase of membership to more than 40 members. This in- crease caused us to move the meetings to the auditori um to accomodate the crowd. Speech Club, too, grew larger with almost 60 members. Many new organizations emerged during The course of the year. Several students put together a SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) group, who helped us become more aware of the grow- ing problems of drinking and driving.

She introduced them to the club members as two dedicated sorts.” As co-presidents, Dearin and Reynolds cast all the speech club participants in their groups for competition. Together they wrote a script for the choral read- ing group and directed them, as well as the Reader's Theater group. They also took care of the details and the minor things along the way. Dearin said, ‘We did the things that everyone took for granted, for example, props. We also tried to take some of the pres- sure off Mrs. Rowley.” WRITING AND REWRITING.

They set exam- ples for the team and formed a liaison between the team and the coaches. The three met with head coach Kirk Daddow each Sunday to discuss team problems and areas that needed im- provement. The cheersquads also elected their own captains. They organized the squads at practices but often found themselves spending time outside of practice organizing pep assemblies and rides to out-of-town events. Fall cheersquad captain, senior Shaun Connolly said, It was an honor to be elected by the squad, but it took a lot of time and work. Student Council Leaders Junior Executive Council JUNIOR EXECUTIVE.

Although these students were seldom noticed or given credit, they were es- sential to the success of school activi- ties. They had participated with dedi- cation all along instead of jumping on the activity “bandwagon” in despera- tion to have something to write on col- lege applications.

Mr. Dan Faas was supervisor of the Vocational Education Club which included 33 students. Activities of the club included local fund-raising projects and state leadership meetings, as well as exchanges with other schools, out-of-town field trips and other competitive projects at the State level. The third program was the Distributive Education Clubs of America: Mr. Darrill Abel, supervisor of the 49 students said, DECA activities are always school-centered, so they contribute to the school's purpose of pre- paring well-adjusted and employable citizens.

Participant sophomore Maria Ford commented It really made me feel good at the beginning of the year to have a Big Sis! She made me feel at ease. Tutor programs allowed students to get help or to give it. The Big Pal and the Young Adult programs both gave students the opportunity to get to know special education students from Wilson Beardshear. There were also voluntary tutors for high school stu- dents in most courses. These programs were beneficial to those involved. Students needed independence but there were times when they all need- ed a helping hand.

Besides cheerleaders, musical groups played an important part in boosting spirit at pep assern- blies and sporting events. A small group called the “pep combo helped rally spirit at assemblies. The pep combo added class to the pep assemblies,” senior Craig Stroup said. Musical cheers pleased the crowds and let everyone get involved. At basketball games, the pep band worked with cheerleaders to fire-up the fans. “The pep band was probably . the best musical organization for school spirit we had,” junior pep band member Nathan Nyvall commented. The drum corp provided entertain- ment between games. We worked Ki hard to put together shows that got the crowds to cheer,” said senior Dave Swift. Marching band was really fun for me, sophomore Karin Silet said. It gave people a way to support the team if they were not an athlete or a cheerleader.” ROOTIN’ TOOTIN’.

Both the jazz and dixieland bands performed at various places in town, instead of holding con- certs at the school. Iliked being a part of a small group like the dixieland band. We got to play a really different style of music, commented sen- ior Kristen Reynolds. Honor bands were held around the state at dif- ferent colleges and universities. Students had to submit applications and or audition to be a part of these groups. Senior Tracy Frank said, ‘| liked being able to participate in these (honor) bands, because they gave me a chance to play with really good musicians. Like many other organizations, the band got a chance to travel. In April the entire band toured Kansas City for three days. They played for sev- eral Kansas City area high schools, as well as sightseeing, visiting Worlds of Fun, and shopping. Band gave students a chance to be in many groups or just a few. Band director Homer Gartz concluded, `I think it's important that the stu- dents have an opportunity to play with several different bands.

If had all the advantages of a class and none of the disadvantages. DECA also drew a fine line between being a class and being an activity. Class time was valuable for resolving problems at work and getting feed- back.

(Photo by Vel Randic) Skills, time are necessary To some students, just being present in body was all that was necessary to be a member of an organization, but they soon discovered otherwise. They found out there were specific, unwrit- ten skills and qualities which they were expected to bring to the organization. Senior Karen Christenson, a baton twirl- er, found that a dance background and balance became increasingly im- portant as the group increased the dif- ficulty and complexity of its routines. Each year we learned something new and tried to use it next year,” she explained. Someone who was un- coordinated limited the entire group.” Often it wasn't skils that were empha- sized, but the amount of time and commitment necessary. According to senior Julie Ford, president of the Ihes- pians, The major requirement for Thespians was dedication. You didn't have to be an actor, but you did have to put in at least 50 hours of work per production. ` Many times students didn't even real- ize what was needed from them until they had participated in an organiza- tion for a while. Senior WEB sports re- porter, John Erickson, said | hadn't re- alized how much work went into a newspaper. | learned things, like type- setting and paste-up, that | never had had in Intro (to Journalism). While many skills were acquired through membership, many groups re- quired specific Talents before a stu- dent could join. The marching bana held a workshop one week before school started in the fall, to brush up. Junior Michelle Gelina commented, We picked up things we had forgot- ten over the summer. It was hot and tiring, but worth it. It helped us get ready for our first game. Dedication and natural talent worked hand-in-hand to help create a suc- cessful organization. Erickson conclud- ed, Without ful involvement, you were just wasting your time.” EL d EM Choir: Sopranos 7 7 j | zz ء‎ | - � SOPRANOS. Front Row: Co-President Susan Thompson, Nancy Gamon. ALTOS.

Last year, the sophomore choir was the largest choir we've ever had with 99 members, said junior Jim Bernard. | think that can account for the high number of junior members. Another cause for the loss of seniors was scheduling. Kathy Lynott, a senior who was very active in choir for the past two years, said, “| really missed choir; | know a lot of my friends and | had big problems scheduling it.” Michelle Johnston was one of the few returning seniors that was elected as an officer.

Many students involved in extra-curricular activities spent time outside of school developing their tal- ents with private lessons, tutoring, workshops and leadership confer- ences. My extra lessons really helped my growth as a musician, commented sophomore Mary Elen Fanning. She had taken saxophone lessons at the university for several years. Modern dance students often started their involvement with private lessons. ve loved dancing since | was a kid, and being in modern dance is another way of expanding myself in dance,” said senior Natasha Wilson. Leadership conferences helped stu- dent council and S.A.D.D. members develop their leadership abilities. “I en- joyed meeting other leaders from around the state. They gave me a lot of ideas for ways we could improve A.H.S., said junior Bonali Barua. senior Dan Emmerson said. `I think the activities here have always done well in keeping up with the times and being a cut above.

As the pri- ority points were lowered, some stu- dents had to register later. Some couldn't schedule these classes as the later registration times entailed sched- ule conflicts and filled classes. Orchestra enrollment was not hurt much as there was a large number of incoming sophomores, but the group was left virtually without woodwinds. We're doing strictly string pieces now,” said director Richard McCoy. Another difference this year was the new emphasis on ensemble and con- test work. In past years, McCoy had steered away from group andi individ- ual competition feeling that it had a negative effect on the students.” This year he wanted the students to know that there isn’t anything personal meant by it (the ratings). ” As a group, the orchestra went to see concerts by the Royal Philharmonic Or- chestra and violinist Itzhak Pearlman. some AHS members will continue per- haps to the professional level, while others, like Alan Carlsborg, don't plan to go on after high school. Orchestra d 60 Entertainmenî Students entertain audiences Different tastes in entertainment were satisfied as teams and groups gained performing experience. Throughout the year, fans and supporters contin- uall y filled school facilities at their fa- vorite events. sporting events, particularly the foot- ball and basketball games, drew large crowds, as usual. Students who wer- an't particularly interested in the sport- ing event came to socialize. '| looked forward to seeing everybody at the games when | didn't see them during the day,” said junior Tracy Samson. Half-time entertainment for the foot- ball and basketball games was pro- vided by the marching and pep bands, respectively. Ihe marching band, along with the flag corps and the baton fwirlers, gained performing experience as their primary goal was to entertain the fans. B TX Off the field, the band, as well as the choir and orchestra, continued to pro- vide their musical entertainment at concerts. “Those who came to the concerts were there because they wanted to hear the music, not usually to socialize, said junior Rachel Ulrich- SOn. Throughout the year, various theatrical productions also performed for inter- ested audiences. Three plays, the sen- ior one-acts, and the spring dance show offered more opportunities for students to entertain others or be en- tertained themselves. “Plays are my favorite thing to watch or be in, but | like to go to everything else, too,” said sophomore Shelby Myers.

Other active programs included ADULT (Assisting Disa- bled to Utilize Leisure Time), Adopt-A-Grandparent, sup- port groups to help others cope with everyday pressures, special education swimming, Special Olympics and com- munity-sponsored groups such as the People Place, Youth and Shelter Services, and Open Line.

Senior Christina Baratta, coordinator of the Senior Girls’ Club which was re- sponsible for the Christmas Formal said, “The kind of work had to be voluntary, though.

Plakans said, Our worknights sometimes lasted until 2:30 a.m. just to meet deadlines.” staff members attended a journalism con- vention at lowa State University in October, and survived a 16-hour bus ride to Little Rock, Arkansas on Nov. 8-44 for a JEA con- vention. At the conventions, members attended sessions which correlated to their positions on staff. They learned updated concepts and ideas for award-winning yearbooks. [he co-editors used the information at- tained at the conventions to modify details of the '84-'85 SPIRIT. Special details can make or break how a book is judged,” said Lisa Huber. We have to pay a lot of atten- tion to the graphics. ` The co-editors' and staff's goal was to cap- ture the unique aspects of the year, Senior susan Jons said, The chance to make sure the year is portrayed accurately is what | like best about being on staff.” RIS ا‎ 166 Le Vs.

Li i TS pv TN i Whether their interests were speech, music, journalism, or school leadership, students of all interests found activities to be involved in. However, these ac- tivities required a lot of time from their schedules. Students participating in many activi- ties often found themselves staying up late to finish assignments, or they didn't get them completed. Senior Shyla Os- born, terpsichore choreographer and Speech Club member, said, “It some- times depends on your own priorities. When l'm in an activity, | stay commit- ted toit. It's usually my homework that suffers. Some activities, including DECA, elimi- nated the amount of class time a sen- ior had, therefore completing home- work wasn't a problem. Senior DECA member Laurie Lutz said, “I was only at school the first periods of the day, so | had plenty of extra time to finish as- signments. ` According to students, their home- work only suffered from activities dur- ing specifically busy times. Second se- mester student council tri-president and SPIRIT member, senior Jenny Bow- er explained, Student Council corn- mittees eliminate a lot of work that we (tri-presidents) would have during nor- mal weeks. But, it’s at certain times, like during Welfare Week or SPIRIT CHOOSING THE RIGHT PICTURE.

Publication experience Students who wanted more exper- ience in writing and journalism were of- fered publication opportunities on the Scratch Pad and Web staffs. Students who liked to write poerns, draw, or do creative writing submitted work to the literary publication, the Scratch Pad. The works were chosen by a board of nine students, three from each grade. The two co-editors, seniors David Dearin and Shannon McCoy, and ad- viser LoAnn Cambell headed the group. While the Scratch Pad dealt with cre- ative writing, students also got a taste of print journalism by working on the Web. The Web was published every other week and contained news stories, features, and reviews. New adviser, Neelum Chaudhry, brought several changes to the publi- cation. These included a new logo, designed by senior Kris Hoepner, and regular columns by seniors Dan Emmer- son, and Jerry Hill.

Business, journalism and teaching were just a few of the possi- bilities. Some students started their ca- reer search early by joining organiza- TIONS. Eleven of the 15 second semester Web staff members were interested in a career in journalism. Students were presented with the normal newspaper responsibilities of deadlines, research and interviews. Senior Mark Hanson said, “I'm interested in current events. | love the media and the irregularity of journalism; its never the same. Another aspect of journalism was broadcasting. AHS Update was a stu- dent produced and directed T.V. show. Sophomore Terri Jackson corn- mented I'm interested in a career in journalism because it inspires creativity in my life.” Students obtained job experience working at area businesses through DECA. Participants competed in the area conference February 6 and the state conference March 1۹4 and 12. Posegate commented Business really interests me. DECA helps prepare you with the many aspects of the business world. Working in small groups, reading to children, and talking with teachers were all things that three seniors did as a part of the Cadet Teaching Work Experience Program, Adviser Rose Wil- cox said, “By being a cadet teacher students acquire the ability to work with kids and an assurance of whether they're really interested in teaching. By exploring their options students were better able to decide on a ca- reer. Students read stories to 6th grad- ers, broadcasted the news, sold mer- chandise at the Sports Page, and wrote for the Web. Their involvement with these and other activities was the key that opened the door to their fu- ture careers. DECISIONS DECISIONS.

Break dancing, or breakin', was a freestyle form of dance in which jumps, spins, twists and contortions are performed solo, in partners, or in groups. The music usually associated with brea- kin’ was reggae, rap or urban contemporary, a sort of synthesized bop. Students did break dancing at school dances, parties and occasion- ally in the halls or the parking lot. Senior Al Lau- dencia and juniors Josh Lohr and Harry Lauden- cia, among others, did some break dancmg competition in parks, bars and malls as far away as Chicago.

Sophomore Polly Stromley said, | found the rules to be boring and repetitive. l've heard them all be- fore. sometimes the handbook was found in the bottom of lockers, or on the hall floor, but it did have some purpose and value.

Merit Scholars go to finals Of the 4.4 million students in the 18,000 U.S. secondary schools that participat- ed in the Preliminary Scholastic Apti- tude Test Sap) 13 Ames High stu- dents advanced to the finals. Senior Kevin James said, It's really nice to know that l'm one of the top in the state academically.” Students entered by taking the PSAT. A screening process was then used to reduce the large number of partici- pants to about five percent of the test takers. Semifinalists had to meet more require- ments before being one of the small group that advanced to the finals. Finalists then received Certificates of Merit in recognition for this achieve- ment and went on to compete for Merit Scholarships. Only the top thirty- nine percent of these high-perfor- mance students won awards. Kay Garrett, guidance counselor said, | was really pleased to find out that 13 students were going fo the finals. Ev- ery finalist competed within his or her own state for one of the non-renew- able national awards worth 1,000 dol- lars. The students who had the best combi- nation. of academic and personal qualifications then became Merit Scholars. Finalist Mark Tondra summed up with, ` was surprised to find out that | was a finalist. Now | have to cross my fingers and hope to get a scholarship. ` Jamie Folkmann Julie Ford | Tracy Frank ` Larry Genalo — ‘= | Sheri George Peter Gierasch April Glist .

CHECKING EM OUT. Searching for an applica- tion deadline, senior Steve Rhoades checks a list of dates. Information on different colleges was posted in the guidance center. (Photo by Barb Farrar) standardized tests were never fun, but taking them was a big concern for seniors. The tests were taken to deter- mine a student's skils in various sub- jects. Many colleges based their ad- mission on The scores. You have to have them to get into most colleges, and unless youre a lucky guesser, they reflect your abilities fairly well, said senior Steve Rhoades. All seniors who were surveyed had tak- en at least one of the tests, although not everyone felt as positive toward them. | don't think they're a good judge of what you can do because there's too much test and too little FILLING IN THE DOTS.

Students dealt with their mail in a variety of ways. | have all of mine alphabetically organized in a box, said senior Lori Green. On the other hand, many of the recipi- ents felt that most of the mail was a pain. Half of mine go in the garbage can. They're from schools lI ve never heard of before, commented senior Lori Birdseye. “It’s a disappointment. You think it's going to be a letter from a friend and then it Turns out fo be from a dumpy ittle college, said senior Kate Sea- grave.

Senior Jamie Elleby reflected the opinion of many students, As fast as the school year is going so far, graduation seems right around the corner. While preparing for graduation, some seniors discovered they needed to pick up a few extra credits and class electives. Senior Dana Seehafer said, -With only a semester to go, | feel like relaxing and just waiting for gradu- ation, but I stil nave a lot to do for school and getting ready for college.” Instead of blowing off” classes, sen- Seniors Graduating iors offen found themselves busier than anticipated with college applications and entrance exams. “Colleges make it sound as if graduation is really close,” explained senior Julie Stoecker, “but, when you're back in class you unfortu- nately realize how much you stil have TO GOW Regardless of their schedule and out- look, many seniors feelings were summed up the same way. l'm so anxious for graduation to finally be here, that it is taking forever, said sen- ior Lisa Lemanczyk, but, at the same time, it is hard to believe that this is my senior year and that in May I'll leave the high school for the last time.

Seniors Likes, Dislikes It wasn’t all roses With fhree years To experience all that high school had fo offer, seniors formed opinions of what they liked and disliked, The most disliked room was restricted study hall. Due to disciplinary actions, students occasionally were forced to spend their free periods studying or staring at the walls in this basement room. “The thought of restricted was my incentive not to get my fourth tar- dy to homeroom,” said senior Julie Slater. The fiffeen-minute silent reading peri- od was considered by most to be a waste of time. '| used my silent read- ing time to catch up on my sleep, said senior Bob Devens. Others report- edly used this time to finish homework, study for tests, browse through maga- zines, Or even socialize, Parking lot challenges also received some negative comments, especially from those students who usually ar- rived at eight o'clock. | always had to park in the last row and it seemed | had to walk about three miles to get to the school.

The quality of academics and the var- ied course offerings were also consid- ered very good by most seniors. In talking to admissions counselors, sen- iors often found that colleges were im- pressed with the education they had received. OUT FOR LUNCH. Taking advantage of their open campus passes, seniors Todd Senne and Rob Kahler return to the school after a lunch break. Many seniors enjoyed the privilege of leaving the school when they had a free period. (Photo by Barb Farrar.) GOING MY WAY?

Turning eighteen required students to act as more mature law abiding citi- zens. As legal adults, they had to face the true consequences of breaking the law, for they no longer received a juvenile charge. “After you are eigh- teen, you are responsible for your own actions, said senior Amy Meyers, Parents don't have to bail you out anymore,” A new law was passed that made it illegal for a minor to even attempt to buy alcohol. Students were reminded of this law as they renewed their ari- vers licenses. New licenses were marked with a side profile snapshot, identifying them as being under the drinking age.

Micci LS e meth 1 1 planned to find some sort of secretarial or clerical job in Colorado, possibly at a resort area hotel. She had gained seven months experience through her VICA job. She looked forward to experienc- ing the real world. There was a group of four resource stu- dents with special needs who had spent the majority of their high school years preparing for a job and independent living after graduation. In order to gra- duate, each of them was required To draw up a specific plan for their future with the help of teachers and parents. Some of the opportunities they took ad- vantage of were Mainstream Living in Ames, Vocational Rehabilitation in Des Moines, and STRIVE in Ankeny. MDE teacher, Ann Lee explained, Lots of times they becorne so focused on one goal. They know one job and if they can't get that job, they give up and vegetate at home.

Western Civilization LI Head Football Coach Faculty achieves excellence Hartman receives top-notch rating Teachers should provide opportuni- ties to learn, commented Ken Hart- man, Chemistry A and computer scl- ence teacher. Mr. Hartman received the Presidential Award for excellence in science teaching for the state of IOWA. Previously in 1983, Mr. Hartman had re- ceived the lowa Academy of Science Award for excellence in chemistry. This award automatically nominated him for the national award. On October 25, he received the national award in Washington D.C. Ames High School received $5,000 from the National Science Foundation as part of Mr. Hartman's award. He was also awarded a computer for use in Teaching. This was only the second year of the Presidential Math and Science Awards. DBO martin —— — — Mr. Hartman hoped the award will be expanded to give recognition in other areas of teaching. To qualify for the award, Mr. Hartman was required to write a series of essays on his philosophy and methods of teaching. The best method of teach- ing is the one a teacher feels most comfortable with, he said. He also said he had found that stu- dents often learn the most by doing rather than listening to lectures. His classes included a lot of lab work relat- ed to the area of study. Senior Mark Hanson, one of Mr. Hart- man's Chemistry A students, said, “Mr. Hartman doesn't Textbook teach. He teaches in Terms | can understand and will be able to remember. ` He is always willing to help students and also pieasuut to be around, commented sophomore Liz Chase, a computer science student. Mr. Hartman also held the position of coordinator of the Science Depart- ment. He explained that the school had a fairly strong science program. However, he felt the facilities were cramped in a small amount of space. He also mentioned that improvements were being made in providing students? with more hands-on experience in the areas of physics, biology, and chemis- try. : The fact that Mr. Hartman had contin- ually worked to improve the science program was only one reason he re-1 ceived national recognition. Another © reason was that he makes students want to learn, said Hanson. Sonja R.

(Photo by Amy Bleyle.) at 231 e a Thousands of people had graduated from Ames High during the past forty years. Most had gone their own way, leaving Ames for bigger and better things. There were, however, a few who had returned and, once again walked the halls of Ames High. They were now teachers, Generally, they all agreed that Ames had one of the better school systems in the state and that Ames was a good community to live and grow up in. Robert Jeffrey, a 1967 graduate and now a social studies teacher, said he had a very good experience at Ames High. My instructors had a great influence on my decision To becorne a teacher. While Jeffrey was in high school, one of his math instructors was George Duvall. Mr. Duvall graduated from AHS in 1946, then returned in 1965 after attending college and teaching and coaching at various schools around lowa. “The opportunity afforded to students and faculty at Ames High, and the fact that | generally work with seasoned veter- ans makes being on the staff rewara- ing, said Mr. Duvall. Also graduating in 1946 was Mary RRRING! Talking on the phone is just one part of Mrs. Mary Ann Schmidt's job as Dean of Stu- dents and guidance counselor. Mrs. Schmidt at- tended AHS in 1943-45. (Photo by Barb Farrar.) ل 292 Ann Schmidt. She actually spent her senior year at Des Moines Roosevelt and graduated from there, but the rest of her schooling was in the Ames system, ‘My father h ad a job in Des Moines and it was the time of gas ra- tioning due to the war. It was best that we move fo Des Moines, she ex- plained. `I still consider myself an Ames graduate, however. Noting the differences between the youth of today and those from their respective generations, most ad- mitted that students of the 80's are not as close-knit and school-oriented as those from the past. One reason may be because, “There weren't many things To do. Not many students had cars and student activity revolved around fhe school. There wasn't the freedom that there is today,” said 1958 graduate Richard White who was now head of the social studies depart- ment. Dave Posegate, a 1959 grad, now the driver education instructor at AHS and was the head baseball coach, en- joyed teaching Drivers’ Education be- cause it was very much like coaching. “| can see the student improve on a | teach them the funda- daily basis. Grads return, this time behind the desk mentals and it is just like coaching. it’s very satisfying, Mir. Posega ate's Dase- Dall teams had appeared in the Stat Tournament twice in his 13 years as nead coach at Ames. 3 Believe if or not, these teachers liked students. If they didn't, they wouldn't be teaching. Mary Buck, now teaching in the science department after graduating in 1969, said, The main reason | wenf into teaching was be- cause | love working with kids and | had $ an inferest in science. Teaching was an easy way to combine the two.’ Mrs. Schmidt, Dean of Students. some- times had a dirty job in fhat she had t often reprimand students, while vg k- ing out for their best interests. But, she too loved to work with teenagers. ٦ haven't lost my enthusiasm toward my job and everyday is fun! she said. Maybe that is the reason that they kept coming back. NUMBER 10.

Mrs. Lynette Salazar said she enjoyed students “who were Twilling to put forth effort and who will let loose and have fun in the subject. Mrs. Bauske listed responsiveness, a sense of humor and sensitivity to oth- ers feelings as good characteristics. Mr. Kirk Daddow commented on stu- dents’ personalities. “AHS students are exceptionally easy to get alo ng with. ` Ine faculty had many positive things to say about students, ranging from eachers regard students as pests, pets good class preparation to honesty and reliability. Mrs. Dorothy Brown summed up many of the faculty's comments, “She said she admired stu- dents, who are friendly and appre- ciative of what parents and teachers are doing for them, and students who do their best to achieve in their work and extracurricular activities. Along with the good points, though, there were the bad. Teachers were annoyed by everything from litter in the halls to students’ lack of effort in class. In response to a survey, several teachers commented that they dis- liked attitudes towards grades. “Students are not willing to put forth the effort required for a grade, but they want the A or B anyway,” said one teacher. they don't do as well as they want ot,” said one teacher.

Besides these serious criticisms, several teachers remarked about less-serious annoyances. Daddow commented on one problem with AHS students. Their failure to appreciate 50's music and Its role in developing today's rock.” Another teacher said, The most an- noying and disappointing thing to me is how the boys stood in the lobby and rated the girls as they walked by.” He continued, Another annoyance: those students who do not know that intimate contact is not a spectator sport. ` Although there was tension at times, both students and teachers balanced out the bad and good points to cre- ate a happy medium in the classroom.

It was just one of the new tropical plants that had crept its way out of its new home, the $60,000 greenhouse. The four biol- ogy teachers had their dreams come true when their plans to bulla a new greenhouse were approved by the Ames School System The new greenhouse, whose dimen- sions were 110 ft. by 27ft., was divided into three different rooms and whose temperatures could be controlled sep- arately. Green Room £ was primarily used as a research room and an ex- perimental lab. Green Room 2 was where the actual planting and breea- ing took place. Room £3, the Conser- vatory, was the place where the tropi- cal plants such as banana trees ana rubber plants were kept. “SU was extremely helpful in starring our greenhouse. They sent consultants out to design the basic structure. [hey were also helpful in donating various plants and necessities that we needed to make the greenhouse work. said Mr. Bob Gibbons, head of the project. FINAL PREPARATIONS.

The construction of the greenhouse began in the last week of July, 1964 The lowa Youth Corps played a major role in laying the major foundation of the greenhouse.

We raised $12,000, $4,000 more than last year by going door-to-door and asking for donatons or selling activity tickets. The money from the Drive went to the Activity Fund to help buy new uni- forms, equipment and cover other costs. A favorite way to raise money was through can- dy sales. Band, SPIRIT, Student Council and mem- bers of the People-to-People program all tried to increase funds by peddling Sweetarts, M Ms, World's Finest Chocolate, and Skittles. Some groups used the money for trips. For example, band members contributed over $1500 to their budget for the Kansas City tour, while others like Student Council gave their earnings to charity. April 8-12, Student Council held their annual Wel- fare Week, to raise money for the Story County Food Shelter. A carnival, candy sales, an |-Ball All stars vs. the faculty basketball game and home- room collections brought this year’s donation up to $1000. Another popular method to raise funds was bake sales. Throughout the year we were able to pur- chase cookies, brownies, cakes and crepes from such groups as the Mat Maids, cheerleaders, SPIR- IT, and the French IV classes. Money earned went to such things as decorations for wrestler's lock- ers, color pages in the yearbook and a French dinner at Aunt Maude's. Whether it was donations to the Food Shelter or money towards spot color in the yearbook, we spent much of our time ok, to raise Mon@y.
