They are so colorful and they go with everything, soph- omore Laura McKlveen said. The torn look was popular and for some, exposing a knee was just what they wanted. “I fell and tore the knee out of my jeans. I liked the way they looked so I kept wearing them, senior Angela Simons said. But for others, the Salvation Army look wasn't the right Another of the many trends was overalls.

Instead, they chose to dress-up their ordinary denims. “Whenever I wear a jean outfit, I like wearing a lot of silver jewel- ry and my silver metallic shoes. Then I don't look so ordinary and casual, junior Jodi Bergan said. One popular brand of jeans was Guess. Both guys and girls got into the Guess craze but they chose their own way of wearing the popular brand name. “Tve seen a lot of people wearing the Guess jeans with the zippers at the bottom. Sometimes they wear them tucked in their socks with tennis shoes or they'll even wear loafers or flats to dress them up, freshman Sarah Git- chell said.

Due to flexible hours, working at grocery stores was popular among students. They juggled schoolwork, activi- ties and free time for on-the-job ex- perience and a bi- weekly paycheck. The customers were responsible for many of the advantages and disadvantages on the job. Work- ers generally felt that most cus- tomers took the time to be polite and talk to employees. “The customers are nice to me, so I feel comfortable talking to them, junior Craig Johnson, a Fareway employee, said.

Most students enjoyed working with managers and other em- ployees. “The managers are very nice and don't expect you to do every- thing perfectly, senior Todd Cumming, a Save-U-More em- ployee, said. There were also problems, such as bad weather which caused discomfort for students assigned to carry out grocery bags. “In the winter you freeze and in the summer it's hot. No matter what the weather is we have to wear long pants, a dress shirt and a tie, Hy-Vee employee, ju- nior Brad Atchison, said. Despite the hassles, students oF HIE 9 — —o n looked forward to getting their paychecks. Most worked am average of 12-15 hours per week “The hours are okay, but we do have to work on weekends when it's very busy,” senior Chris Ber nard, a Fareway employee, said? A hectic atmosphere didn't als ways exist. When business was slow there were times when nof enough work could be found. Sometimes when you get night shift it gets really boring,” junior Joelle Duea, a checker at Randall Foods said. Dealing with the public, the weather and large work loads were some of the hassles these students faced. However, despite all the problems they felt the ex perience was beneficial. -Sarah Jong As a checker, senior Jennife Holte likes to make conversatio with the various customers who shop ati Randall Foods.

Although they were most fre- quently seen outside the build- ing or around town, sunglasses were also worn inside the school and for cruising around town at night. “I like to wear my sunglasses in- side too because they dress up my outfit, junior Beth Dugger said.

Along with earrings, necklaces and other such jewlery, sung lasses were an important part of the fashion trends for 1987.

Once again Homecoming was an unsucces sful week of en- thusiasm builders and planned activities. Efforts from fall cheersquads and student council were met with a seemingly unspirited stu- dent body.

Although activities began Fri- day evening of the previous week, the Homecoming en- thusiasm and spirit of the stu- dent body didn't actually show until Thursday evening, the night of coronation. The crowd at coronation packed the auditorium to it's maximum capacity. Seniors, Sandy Keenan and David Dobson were crowned Home- coming Queen and King in front of an anxious student- filled auditorium. Coronation was really fun to go to because for the first time I actually knew everyone who was on the court, sophomore Kam Archbold said. After coronation, enthusiasm reached a climax as Head Football Coach Kirk Daddow highlighted the bonfire with an explosive go-get-em pep talk. With enthusiasm at a peak on Friday, students walked into a school that was decorated in- side and out. The school day ended with high hopes for a defeat over Hoover. [n order to keep that enthusi- asm going at the big game, the Spirit staff sold 50-cent orange, black and white bal- loons. At kick-off, over 100 balloons were let off simulta- neously. The 35-7 win over the Des Moines Hoover Huskies left the crowd with a victory to remember. But, low atten- dance at the dance revealed that Homecoming ended for many students after the game.

It was time for the Win- ter Formal, “A Touch of Class.” The evening had started a few hours earlier when most girls treated their dates to dinner at one of the Ames restaurants. Some, however, made the trek to Des Moines and others fixed dinner at home. Whether at home or in a res- taurant, most people agreed that dinner was an important part of going to formal. “People seem to look forward to dinner as one of the high- lights of the evening, sopho- more Debbie Dobbs said. For a change, instead of printed invitations, tickets for the event were silver key chains with the theme, date and location of the dance printed in red.

Feelings were mixed over hav- ing disc jockey Al Weltha of KCCO, 107FM, supply the music for the dance instead of a band. “Most bands don't play popu- lar music, so I liked having a disc jockey,” senior Ade Olorunsola said. Other students didn't think that a DJ was appropriate. “The music changed pace too much, junior Malcolm Goodwin said, and the for- m al is supposed to be a slow type of dance. This was the first high school formal to which freshmen were invited, and the lack of driver's licenses was a prob- lem faced by those who at- tended. Getting rides from my par- ents obviously wasn't as con- venient as having my own car,’ freshman Andy Scott said, but it worked. Although the dance ended at midnight, the night was still young for most students. There was nothing else to do that late at night and there wasn't an after-formal party, so a lot of people watched movies at home on video ca- sette recorder's with groups of friends, junior Lynn Car- ney said. Although 308 students at- tended the annual Sadie Haw- kins style dance, some people felt the hype over formal died by the time it arrived. -Tammy Stempler 4S.

Planning the rhythmic move- ments took the choreographers hours, making each dance a well-planned creation. A choreographer stands behind the stage, ea- gerly waiting for the begin- ning of her dance. Her stom- ach jumps as the lights come up and the music starts. After hours of notations, practices and planning, 13 choreographers experienced these feelings on March 5, 6 and 7 as the Terpsichore mod- ern dance show was per- formed for the twentieth con- secutive year. “I was nervous because 1 wanted my dancers to do well so everyone would like my dance. But I was also excited because I was dancing in my own dance, junior Lisa Ban- itt said. Choreography gave students a chance to create something of their own and it taught them how to work as leaders among their peers. “I don't know how I got the idea to do it.

Finding the correct number of “perfect” costumes brought about many dilemmas be- cause all the department cos- tumes were available on a first come, first serve basis. “The costumes in my dance were all thrown together. We really weren't sure if we would have enough for my 12 dancers. I think it was a mir- acle that they fit the dance so well senior Lori Sposito said. The final pieces of the show were put together during the week of technical rehearsals. This is when the choreo- graphers had to put on the finishing touches to their dances. “Because all the choreo- graphers were so organized, the rehearsals went really smoothly. I couldn't believe it! All the dancers did what their choreographers said and no one experienced any major problems, senior Val Brant said. At the final curtain call on March 7, the 13 choreo- graphers realized what an ac- complishment Terpsichore was. And when the final lights dimmed and the full- house applauded, the choreo- graphers knew that their time and efforts had been well re- ceived. -Jil Dasher Terpsichore Student Life 23 mt ع‎ — “I like doing things without checking with my parents. -Senior Susan Greiner m T D ee sf و‎ teens Did you know where your par- ents were at 3 p.m.?

Answer: Both were important characters in the fall and win- ter plays. For those of you who knew your history, you may have noticed a slight link between the two nostalgic comedies - “Bye Bye Birdie’ and The Teahouse of the August Moon.” The musical comedy, Bird. ie , struck a new note when students combined with The Children's Theater and AC- TORS, as was tradition every five years. “I had just moved into town, and getting involved in 'Bird- ie’ helped me get acquainted with ACTORS and other stu- dents. Everyone was really nice, freshman Dan Ander- son said. For the students who had worked with ACTORS be- fore, and for those who hadn't, it was a unique exper- ience. “It was different combining the two,” junior Jennifer Paige said. “It was like fire and ice.

We have to have so many weeks of rehearsals,’’ director Wayne Hansen said. After tryouts, some of the stu- dents had been cast in parts requiring them to speak in a different language. One play member, junior Kris Hall- berg, spoke all her lines in the Japanese island’s native lan- guage of Luchuan. She spent up to seven hours each week during rehearsals learning the language. “My character, the Geisha girl, only spoke Luchuan, so I used body language and facial expressions to communicate my message to the audience,” she said. Senior Tony Connor, who played the island interpreter, also had a hard time with his part. “It was my biggest challenge as an actor. I had to convey a natural ease with my charac- ter's accent for a smooth tran- sition in the humorous situa- tions. I was pleased when the audience laughed in the right places.” Although the settings of the plays were separated by two decades and an ocean, the hu- mor of both nostalgic com- edies was a timeless, multi- cultural experience. -Michelle Kelso Patiently explaining the Japa- nese ways to the audience, senior Tony Connor plays the island interpreter in the January 15, 16, and 17, productions of Tea House.

Following the May 7-9 perfor- mances of the spring play, “Hamlet,” Farrar made this announcement to the student body. He wasn't the only per- son satisfied with the produc- tion. Junior John Kaufmann, who played Hamlet, was also pleased with the perfor- mances. “I felt we did the play in such a way that the audience could enjoy and understand it,” he said. “I tried to play Hamlet so he was a fun guy and not just another boring Shake- spearian character. To complete the extensive set, crews began work in early April and compiled over 760 hours of work by opening night.

Even though Hamlet may have been the most elaborate play the department had pro- duced in recent years, the Senior Directed One-Acts weren't a small undertaking either. In December, the eight direc- tors chose their plays for the February One-Acts. Because there were eight plays instead of the usual four, the directors were able to cast over 80 stu- dents. This also spread the performances over a four- night period, February 18-21. | tried out for the One-Acts because they were student-di- rected and it seemed more fun to work with my friends, sophomore Patrick Marley said.

The actors’ anxiety was strongly paralled with that of the directors, including senior director Bonnie Sprague.

In spite of the media attention that the scandal received, only 27 percent of 130 students surveyed by the “Spirit” staff considered themselves well- informed about the Iran-arms scheme cover-up, while 45 percent felt uninformed. “1 think that a lot of things have happened in other presi- dencies that are just as bad but we just never found out about them.

Forty-seven per- cent of the students surveyed by the Spirit staff still found it easy to purchase alcohol. Anytime that I want to get something to drink I ask the seniors who I know can buy it, and I'm set for the evening, a freshman boy said. The most commonly purchased and consumed alcoholic bever- ages by 51 percent of the stu- dents were wine coolers, while beer was consumed by 48 per- cent of those surveyed. Everyone always drinks beer because at parties there is always a keg. Besides, it's easier to buy and it's a heck of a lot cheaper, senior Brittany Wombacher said. Even though most students drank wine coolers and beer, 34 percent drank hard alcohol. “If I'm going to drink, I drink hard alcohol because I react to it a lot faster and I don't have to drink as much, a junior boy said. Six percent of the students who had fake I.D.'s allowing them to buy alcohol, purchased wine coolers and beer at gas stations. My friends and I have scanned out all the places we can go to get beer, a senior girl said. We just keep hitting the same places and it's no problem, she added. Most people bought alcohol at gas stations, while grocery stores and liquor stores were avoided. I know that if I bought beer at Randall's l'd see eight of my mom e friends there or probably even my mom, a junior boy said. Of course, others took advantage of a different alternative when acquiring their alcohol - they took it from their parents. But as difficult and illegal as it was, there was always a place to have a party, and 50 percent of those surveyed drank at parties. Lots of people will go to a bash to drink. If there isn't a party outside people will find a house where there aren't any parents around to drink, junior Kelli Criner said. Other places to drink were parks, cars, bars and college par- ties. “I go to bars to drink, but the —,—Io—— — mp 9 À—MMK ffe — Sg جه س ES - � H gg 5 8 ليسي أن‎ aa oa. e -e ——— — mm o aa مسي .م‎ o tm —À Á Mure Ue T. م‎ main reason is to hear the 2 or to dance,” a senior girl said Fifteen percent of the student drank once a week and 14 per cent twice a week. “If I’m going to drink I'll drink on a Saturday night because tha way I don’t have to worry abe u going to a school event and g ting caught,” senior Susan Hu Said.

The special three-year era had passed, and the future be- came a new beginning for all those who received their di- plomas. The month of May brought planning and preparation for all graduation activities. Private parties began the first week of May and continued throughout the month. But according to students, the parties became monotonous and the Senior Picnic was looked forward to in hopes of a change. “I was looking forward to be- ing outside, playing golf, swimming, and talking but because of the rain, the picnic turned out like all the other graduation parties,’ senior Julie Abel said.

Other senior activities were the Awards Assembly and Baccalaureate. The Awards Assembly honored 222 stu- dents with awards and schol- arships adding up to a sum of nearly one quarter of a mil- lion dollars. Baccalaureate was estimated to have had an attendance of 1800 people and was considered an outstand- ing musical event. Unlike the past, during the commencement ceremonies most seniors did not give a prank token of appreciation while receiving their diplo- mas to President of the School Board, June Angus. The seniors felt that tradi- tion was broken because of a lack of organization. Commencement began with the Innvocation given by Ian Hoffman. Later Peter Groene- veld, Carol Peterson and Maggie Lewis gave the Class Addresses. Kirk Goodwin then began the Benediction which started with the unfor- getable morning chimes and was filled with all of the mo- ments and memories that could be shared by all seniors of the Class of 1987. To wrap up the ceremony, Goodwin sounded the chimes once again as the last announce- ments were heard. The evening then came to an end with confetti, beach balls and graduation caps being thrown into the air. Tears and laughter followed as the defi- nition of commencement came into effect: a new phase of life had begun. -Georgann Griffith Graduation Student Life 43 THE REST The following information was compiled by randomly surveying two homerooms (20 students each) from grades 9, 10, 11 and 12.

Instead, you ended up with your fourth tardy and 20 hours in restricted study hall because you had to circle the parking lot for 10 minutes searching for a parking space. There isn't enough room in the parking lot so people have to park on the street and around the outside of the gravel parking lot,’ junior Jenny Craig said. Sometimes the lack of space and time caused students to resort to creative parking, making spaces where none existed before. In these cases parking tickets and referrals were written by parking lot attendant Lloyd Dresser. “1 feel that tickets cut down on careless driving and park- ing, making the parking lot more orderly, Dresser said. Some students agreed that ticketing was a beneficial way to enforce the rules of the parking lot. “To keep confusion to a mini- mum, parking tickets are im- portant to help keep the large number of cars organized, sophomore Charlie Bevelo said. Other students believed that tickets should not be given in a high school parking lot and that a parking attendant was not needed. | don't think we need to be ticketed at school because it's a waste of everyone's time.

According to school records there were a total of 691 per- mits sold and approximately 420 available parking spaces. Therefore when time was short and the lot was full there was no end to the creati- veness of the parking. -Sarah jons Æ Checking the visitors lot, | parking attendant Lloyd Dresser tickets an illegally parked car on his morning rounds.

Because of the high seasonal tempera- tures, many students didn't regret staying in Ames for spring break. Warm spots like Florida and Arizona weren't as inviting as they had been in past years.

The answer: The plastic, re-fillable Kwik Shop Kwencher cup. According to a Spirit survey of 250 people, about 88 percent of the students used these cups regularly.

Students usually remembered to bring their old Kwenchers for the 49 cent re- fills. But when they didn't, 20 percent ended up buying new cups for 79 cents, and 30 percent filled up new cups but only paid for a re-fill. “When I forget my old cup, and the cash- ier asks if it's a re-fill, I sometimes say 'yes', sophomore Jason Volmer said. For 49 percent of the students afternoon was the most popular time to buy Kwenchers while 30 percent got pop in the evening and before work. Kwik Kwencher cups overflowed lockers and kitchen cupboards, and piled and crammed the back seats of many stu- dents' cars, because for some, a stop at Kwik Shop for a Kwencher was a daily routine. Kwik Kwenchers are cheaper in the long run than bottles or cans.

If I start to watch one day and something exciting happens I have to keep watching until I find out the result,’ sophomore John Montgomery said.

Throughout the year staff members had five deadlines to meet. During these six to seven- week periods, the sophomores, juniors and seniors on the Spirit staff experienced what it was like to be inside a pressure cooker. “The pressure makes me forget about my oth- er classes, and I don't get homework done during deadline weeks. Deadlines basically make everyone crazy,’ junior Kathy Peake said. In addition to winning the Iowa High School Press Association Fall Yearbook Contest, the 1986 “Spirit” was named a Gold Crown year- book by the Columbia Scholastic Press Asso- ciation (CSPA).

The 1986 Spirit also received an All-Ameri- can rating and a Pacemaker award from the National Scholastic Press Association. For some staff members, being one of 7 high school yearbooks across the nation to receive CSPA's and NSPA's highest awards presented added pressure to keep up the tradition. Any pressure that the staff felt, they put on themselves. I think that awards are good moti- vation, but they should not be dwelled upon,” Adviser Neelum Chaudhry said. Each staff is individual. For several staff members, staying in Room 202 every night of the week until 9 p.m. was not an uncommon practice.

Through Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) and Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA), students received academic credit while being exposed to the working world. According to VICA sponsor Don Faas, stu- dents who wanted jobs in retail, grocery or human relations got involved in the DECA program and students who wanted auto- motive, trade area or city employee jobs select- ed the VICA program. “VICA offers more of a chance to learn about the field of mechanics. The class helps me become more aware of what the future holds in store for me,” senior John Barnes said. In both DECA and VICA the class met one period each day, leaving time for other school activities and a regular job. کی 8 (Photo by Michelle Christenson) On the job at banks, grocery stores and body shops, stu- dents learned to become bet- ter ORKERS “We make sure all the students have a job to an extent of what they want. The hours range from a minimum of 15 hours per week to a typical 20 to 25 hours, depending on other school activities,” DECA sponsor Darrill Abel said. DECA and VICA programs didn’t end with a job and one class period. Throughout the year students competed in contests and prepared for State Leadership Conference competition. After placing first, second or third in individ- ual competition at state, four seniors advanced to nationals. Deb Perrin placed third in Gener- al Marketing, State Secretary Shannon Scherr placed second in Restaurant Marketing, Sta- cey Staller finished first in Apparal Acces- sories and Loyal Stierlen scored the highest in the state on the Distributive Education Ter- minolody Test. “Through DECA I've learned a lot about mar- keting,” senior Staller said.

Today she had an interview for an art scholarship at the University of Iowa. “I hope to make a good impression on the interviewers, but I know that no mat- ter what happens, I will still be happy with my accomplishments, Andersen said. This scene was all too familiar as six seniors applied for art scholarships available through universities, busin- esses and civic organizations, ranging from $500-$1000 per year. Although scholarships represent pres- tige to people in the art world, most aren't significant in relation to the actual cost of going to that particular school, senior Susie McKlveen said. Preparing for these scholarships was a rigorous experience. Students were con- tinually compiling their portfolios, fill- ing out applications and writing letters. “It's often hectic and frustrating, but I think it's worth all the time and work (ve put into it,” senior Julie Flemmer said. Although the competition was stiff, suc- cess or failure to receive the scholarship was not always an indication of a stu- dent's ab ilities. “If students receive more than one offer, scholarships can always be turned down, and if they are unsuccessful, the applica- tion process was still a good learning experience, art teacher Dorothy Gugel said. Earning a scholarship not only brought money and prestige to art students, but it also gave them a sense of accomplish- ment.

The Special Education Department had one main goal: to help disabled students work towards independence and become self-sufficient. “We try to downplay academics and em- phasize competency in domestic, career and community life,” special education teacher Reggie Greenlaw said. The career simulation program was broken down into two main parts: the Experience Based Career Education Pro- gram (EBCE) for juniors and paid jobs in community businesses for graduating seniors. During their junior year, those students who wished to participate in the EBCE program, spent four to six weeks at prac- tice job sites. If they chose, students could also participate in the program as a senior. “I love animals and it's a lot of fun to be able to feed them and get paid for it, senior Gary Smith said.

Students were often found serving food in the Cyclone Express, sorting books in the Media Center or watering plants in the greenhouse. They received 75 cents per hour for these jobs. “It makes me feel good about myself when I can help the secretaries and learn something at the same time, junior Hol- ly Van Winkle, said. Van Winkle sorted mail in the office every weekday in the morning. Although each student had his her own personal goals, they were all striving to- ward a common goal - to do the best they could with what they had. -Kris Schultz ln.

Sports teams and other organizations also did volunteer work, including the Volleyball team, who helped with the Special Olympics in August.

Beginning in the 1986-87 school year, the length of the tri-presidents’ terms increased from one semester to a full year. This change affected senior tri-presidents Georgann Grif- fith, Erik Haugen and Terri Jackson. and each grade formed senates. “It was good for the school because it allowed us to work the whole year and get things done,” Griffith said. Student Council accomplishments included getting Cy-Ride to pick students up at 3 p.m. in front of the main entrance and completing the senior rail. i, Welch Village Ski Area was the place to be on © January 23-25 as 45 freshmen, including Steve Wohn, went on a ski-trip sponsored by the Ninth Grade Senate.

Each class senate consisted of one representative per homeroom and a class- elected president and vice-president. These of- ficers, plus two senate members, who were chosen by the senate, became Student Council members. Class senates are good because we get more things done for our class rather than for every- one, Sophomore Senate member Sindy Pang said. Throughout the year, each senate worked to- wards separate accomplishments. The Fresh- men Senate organized two ninth grade ski trips, the Sophomore Senate purchased a clock for the back hallway, the Juniors prepared for Prom and the seniors organized graduation activities. As the year went on, people approved of the formation of senates and the length of the tri- presidents' term. “In the beginning, I had mixed feelings about the changes in Student Council, but now I see its advantages, Junior Senate Vice-President Cari Shierholz said. -Tracy Frasher | SOPE WW e reap: ER © Presiding over the Martin Luther King, Jr. Assem- W bly, Tri- Presidents Erik Haugen, Georgann Grif- fith and Terri Jackson help celebrate the birthday of the slain Civil Rights leader.

An aver- age of 14 college representatives visited school per month to answer questions about particular colleges and universi- ties. “Since there were so many colleges to choose from, the representatives saved me the trouble of visiting each one of them,” junior Jeff Gunnerson said. Students also got help from Talent Search, a federally funded program de- signed to help students obtain financial aid. I got pamphlets and other information a lot faster (through Talent Search) than I would’ve on my own,” senior Kristin Tondra said. According to Guidance Counselor Mary Acuff, helping students make major de- cisions was a goal of the counseling de- partment, and with these sources, coun- selors tried hard to reach that goal. -Nina Seecharran 1 7 ga we 5 2 : Rn — Pees, NOTER s الود Receiving help from a Talent Search representa- e. tive, senior Kymm Ziebold looks for scholar- ship opportunities and receives some of the many forms involved.

All students could possibly face these problems when they left the comforting nest called home but two particular de- partments in the school focused on find- ing solutions for such traumas. At the beginning of the second semester, 661 students were enrolled in business and home economics classes. They hoped to find solutions by learning to cook, bal- ance a checkbook, raise a child and man- age money. In the business department students learned to format resumes, prepare and type business letters and choose a bank best suited for their needs. Of all the classes offered in this department, ty- ping teacher Darrill Abel believed that one was essential for all students. “If I had to pick one of the most impor- tant classes at Ames High I would pick typing because it can be used in other Exploring skills to live by such as balancing book and baking bread led us to being eager EARNERS a check- classes as well as in college, Abel said. While business classes helped students become financially wise, home econo- mics classes taught students how to cook, sew and care for others. Cooking is not as easy as it seems. It takes much practice and preparation to make a presentable meal, sophomore Ethan Clapp said. Both departments gave students a better view of what to expect in the world after high school. Accounting helps me understand how businesses are run while child develop- ment teaches me the responsibilities in- volved with raising a child, junior Mi- chelle Ripp said. While these courses were not mandatory for survival after high school, they could possibly help prevent such things as noodles boiling over, bouncing a check or letting a loan payment become over- due. -Michelle Morden Instead of just learning about children in Child Development class, sophomore Katie Stevermer receives practical training by interacting with children.

Like most Auto Mechanics stu- dents, Bochmann took this class to help her later in life. She said that she also enjoyed breaking the sex-role stereotype. “1 like the challenge of trying to change the 'girls don't work on cars' way of thinking, she said. Part of the challenge was dealing with the sarcastic comments that fellow Auto Mechanic students made. Despite these jokes, they all worked together. “When it came right down to it, the guys were always there if I needed any help, Bochmann said.

Long days of traveling placed an eerie quiet over the vehicle as students searched for the French family who would host them for the next six days. For 18 students, the 14-day trip to France began on March 6. The entourage briefly toured Paris, various chateaux and parts of Brittany before returning to Paris for the family stay. “The family stay is not only important and challenging, but also the most re- warding part of the trip. Students must be dependent on themselves, Foreign Language Department Coordinator Sally Schonhorst said. Part of this independence was relying on one's own instincts in several situations. Junior Liz Jurgens learned at the dining table that one person's delicacy can be another's distaste. “1 looked down on my plate and there it was - the entire cardio-vascular system of the fish, she said. My family just looked at me - waiting. I smiled and took the first bite, scales and all. Students who went on the French trip experienced culture abroad, while stu- dents who studied German experienced a part of Europe at home. On March 31, 11 high school students, their teacher, and a university student arrived in Ames from Wuelfrath, West Germany, for a 21-day stay. I wanted a German student to stay with me because their culture interests me, junior Dennis Pike said. “Karssen dressed differently and we liked differ- ent music, but we got along well all the same. During their stay, the guests attended school, visited the State Capitol, the Bo- tanical Center, a farm house and the 4-H made us experienced . . . RAVELERS Camp. | hope they'll find some things here they like better than in Germany, but at the same time I hope they'll appreciate what's at home, German teacher Betty Furr said. Not all visitors to Ames came for only a short time. Five foreign exchange stu- dents from Brazil, Germany and Spain stayed 4-9 months to study American life. “I wanted to come here to learn about the Americans. But while I was here, I also learned to know myself better. I have matured because I'm not influenced by my parents and friends,” sophomore Jaime Nafria said. Nafria, who used to attend high school in Madrid, Spain, noticed differences be- tween Spanish and American teen lives. He said that driving at the age of 16 and the drinking age were major differences between the two countries. Another exchange student, Tita Lopez, discovered Americans weren't like their Hollywood stereotypes people saw in movies. | expected it to be like the movie ‘Porky's, but I have found teenagers are very nice and mature because they must work for college, Lopez said. Lopez said that her ideas of Americans changed because of the warm receptions she received by her host family, teachers and students. She said her English im- proved, but occasionally, she slipped into Spanish. Last week I waited for my friend from Mexico to call me. The phone rang and I answered in Spanish. About seven min- utes later, I realized it wasn't my friend, Lopez said. -Michelle Kelso Exchange Students SS eS er) Classes Clubs wm 4m 78 enc LI 1o diia oe Phy LE + 0 t Te E 0 - VO babes عت‎ At a 0 y p eut Je TO s ut d e ¢ x) Am v Cé ام‎ 0 SN dAn J; AC TDN i ams انه مها ع کد ھ0 دا‎ ee ET Receiving a certificate in May was not a high priority for the 1,285 students who took the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education and Recreation Youth Fitness Test. For the first time all students at the high school were required to participate in the testing which was designed to determine students’ general fitness and ability in specific areas. “By testing in class we can check the students’ fitness and adjust the gym ac- tivities to place emphasis on those areas that need improvement,” physical educa- tion instructor Jack Mendenhall said. The tests were completed in two class periods. The first day included shuttle run, standing long jump, pull-ups for boys and the flexed-arm hang for girls. The 50-yard dash, 600-yard run and sit- ups were completed the second day. The raw scores were converted to percen- tile rankings so Ames High scores could be compared to the national percentile. After being compared nationally, stu- dents’ scores were found to be lower than expected in many areas. Boys averaged in the 38th percentile on the 50-yard dash and the 42nd percentile in the 600-yard run.

Only 34 students recieved the Presiden- tial Award for Fitness. The physical edu- cation staff and students agreed that the low scores were because students didn't care about doing their best and therefore didn't perform to their ability. “Most of the people who are competitive in sports tried to do well and show off a little. The others of us just tried to sur- vive, senior Amy Dunlop said. The lack of motivation on the part of some students remained a concern throughout the year. Some believed that the two-day pass-fail gym classes were not worth the amount of time spent. Even though the physical education staff was dedicated to meeting the goals of increased fitness and skills, many stu- dents admitted to not putting forth an effort. The students neglected to give physical fitness a sporting chance. -Sarah Jons ne am حر‎ IQ t Oda D vta rem e n M MÀ prona men 4d.

During these one-hour sessions, they observed the stars and their teacher pointed out the various constellations. Y ou can remember where the constella- tions are and then you can show them in the sky to your friends, freshman Ten- aya Darlington said.

After taking Earth Science as freshmen, most students continued with Biology, Physics and Chemistry. Others took Physical Science as an alternative. Com- puter Applications and Computer Pro- gramming were other science course op- tions. Students who wanted to learn more about science became lab assistants. As lab assistants, they helped set up class- room experiments and graded papers for teachers.

These people are trying to dominate the world. The players make moves twice a week on cards and give them to me to evaluate, Dobson said. Dobson's curiosity, along with his desire to fill the void created when the War Game's club was discontinued, led to the invention of Dobquest .

Math teacher George Duvall said that pop and doughnut day was started in 1984 by his homeroom as a money-mak- ing project for Welfare Week. What be- gan as a simple fundraiser became a monthly occurence. Duvall was concerend at first about how eating in the classroom would affect stu- dents’ classroom behavior, but he said that students seemed to study better with some type of caloric intake. Junior Teri Samson said that pop and doughnut day was dangerous to her diet. “If I’m dieting on pop and doughnut day, my will power is tested the minute I walk in the room. I usually compromise and have a Diet Coke, she said. A student didn't have to be in Mr. Du- vall's class to enjoy pop and doughnut . day.

Whatever the reason, students agreed that pop and doughnut day was a great idea. Duvall said that pop and doughnut day would continue as long as there weren't any problems.

CU lg e — F Marchers in the band went from resembling a smorgesboard in the fall, to displaying pure class in the spring. With increased membership during football season, it was all-too-common to see band members wearing uniforms two sizes too small or borrowed, oversized Iowa State Uni- versity band uniforms. But, those who attended the May 2 VEISHEA parade noticed a “new” look. On this day, over 200 players were clad in $60,000 worth of brand new uniforms. “The uniforms were so comfortable, that the heat was hardly noticable, and did we ever look sharp,” junior Amy Clark said. In order to have a top-notch performance, practice began on April 20. The band took advantage of the unusually warm spring by practicing outside everyday. All music was required to be memorized and thus concentration was a key element to a good performance. “I sort of feel as if I'm in prison when I march because you must maintain complete concen- CN SACS ee CORPS EE SE DN FM “سا‎ SE Dx AF Pictured: J.

Not Walking through new routines, memorizing music and marching in squads in the VEISHEA pa- rade improved us as LAYERS tration and not do anything out of turn, ju- nior Lance Larson said. Even though being a marcher demanded hours of practice in the heat, senior Mary Ellen Fan- ning believed the hard work definitely paid off. “When I was little, I admired preformers in the VEISHEA parades, but now I’m able to be a part of this exciting environment. It's such a neat feeling seeing friends taking pictures and showing support, she said. In addition to band members, other students also took part in the VEISHEA festivities. Ju- nior Matt Dubberke, a member of the Unicy- cling Federation of Earth , rode in the parade while “Outrage” members, juniors Rob Val- lier and Eric Fawcett and 1986 Ames High grad Jeff Vallier, entertained spectators at the Battle of the Bands. For some, VEISHEA was as an educational experience. Several students served as exhibit judges and Freshmen Brian Messenger, J.P. Leary and Staci Dooley took first place at the state level of History Day competition, ad- vancing themselves to the June 6-14 national competition in College Park, Maryland. -Neila Anderson 0 EH ee Cable, J.

This catchy slogan was the theme of the third uniform drive in the school’s history, which led over 200 band members from rags to riches. With a gusto that hadn’t been seen since the drives of 1954 and 1970, the Booster Club set out to make both students and the community aware of the need for new band uniforms. “We established the Club as an ongoing thing to bring more recognition to the band kids, President of the Band Boosters, Terry Adams said. With reorganization and increased membership, new uniforms seemed like the best place to start. However, getting this drive underway was ea- sier said than done. In order to begin a $60,000 fundraiser, school board approval was neces- sary. After the Board approved this undertaking in September, the Club began sending letters to area businesses and civic organizations re- questing support. “We knew that community support would play a big part in the uniform drive,” Adams (Not Pictured): K.

Rogers, A. Collins, L. Riad, A. Briceno, K. Osterberg, K. Bowman, J. Morrow. Receiving support from citizens helped us purchase $60,000 new band uniforms for our LAYERS said, “and commerce is often the best place to generate that kind of revenue.” Pizza Hut raised the most money - about $2000. To aid the drive, they paid for a televi- sion commercial advertising contributions of $1-$3 for every pizza bought on a Wednesday night. Two other businesses who made pro- motional-type contributions were Rax and Randall Foods. Rax donated Worksbuger coupons for the door-to-door drive and a bicy- cle for a ra ffle. Randall Foods donated one-half of a beef, also for a raffle. To get further community support, all band members canvassed the city door-to-door on November 23. People made contributions ranging from spare change to $240, the cost of a full uniform. “The uniform drive brought the band together to work for a common cause and forced every- one to become involved, senior Kirk Good- win said. With the combined effort of many parties, the new uniforms were unleashed at the Veishea Parade on May 2, thus beginning a new era of tremendous coordinated Players. -Kristin Schultz MM Wim E VR Ne IL aL Cat 8 sas nC ` ) N naar d Vet An Deh ee Se ahy Ai 0 . ` EE ENEE EE AE ENEE R del ENEE EE GK Kee ës Pe DA AE ER 111110117 P Sa ا‎ s ° 7 3 001 E C LE Oe ye EE Seed e b mm ` y DO.

Joe, these war-like noises made up the beautiful “harmony” of a group band lesson. All band members were required to participate in a small group band lesson one period per week. These groups were organized by the type of instrument each student played and the compatability of students’ schedules. “With every lesson we try to develop a better tone and improve technique based on the abil- ity level, Band Director Homer Gartz said. Students worked from an individual lesson book consisting of scales and exercises in breath control and tonguing. They then ap- plied these skills to their band music. “If I'm having trouble with my band music, group lessons give me a chance to get individ- ual help from Mr. Gartz, senior Mike Ripp said. My practice time is often limited, so this also gives me a chance to catch up a little. In addition to getting ready for upcoming con- certs, 53 band members also took part in the All-State Music Festival and the State of Iowa 4b, In small-group lessons, junior Casey Tielan pre- pares for marching in the Veishea parade.

Overall, the band program was thriving with more than 200 members - one of the largest organizations in school. Gartz attributed the popularity of the band program to the efficiency and flexibility of the small group lessons system. There is a place for everyone here, he said. “Our lesson system is devised to make a stu- dent the best player he or she can be as time permits. Although some students didn't take group band lessons seriously, these 43-minute ses- sions provided most with needed practice time. -Kristin Schultz à For sophomore Chris Nelson, and the rest of the 7 concert band, days of practice pay off in the perfor- mances which were held in the auditorium.

The later starting time not only made Barringer miss lunch, but also seemed to cause problems for other stu- dents with getting to class on time. Wailing uut always insignificant way - she was left-handed. Being left-handed created problems for some students in school since most items, such as water fountains, desks, notebooks and scissors were made with right-handed people in mind. “The only desks for left- handed people are in the audi- torium, on the ends of the aisles so there aren't always enough desks for all the left- handed people,’’ senior Cheryl Jacobsen said. In addition to equipment problems, left-handers also found it difficult to satisfy most teachers’ requirements on handwritten assignments. “My papers are generally messy and smeared because RISE SHINE | am messed up all day long because I can never remember the Wednesday schedule,” ju- nior Ray Weikal said.

Most of the time left-handed people turned out to be a si- lent minority. They had to make do with right-handed desks, scissors, and spiral no- tebooks that opened the wrong way. Even though researchers had told left-handers that they were in their “right minds,” these people had to cope on a daily, basis with a world that was set up the wrong way. -Stacey Staller In Wayne Hansen's Discus- sion and Argumentation class, senior Tim Doty researches a topic for a group discussion.

As the alarm went off, a hand reached out to press the snooze button. A few minutes later, junior John Koppes dragged himself out of bed. This scene was familiar to many upperclassmen. But for freshmen, waking up didn't seem to be a big problem. According to the 86 students surveyed by the “Spirit” staff, 87 percent of the freshmen didn't have any trouble get- ting out of bed. | don't have any choice about going to school, so I might as well get up and get going, freshman Sarah Git- chell said. For the rest of the school, however, waking up in the morning was a daily struggle. “I’m usually tired, so I don't get up right away. I always try and sleep about five minutes longer, junior John Koppes R U D E WAKENIN said. Nineteen percent of the stu- dents pressed the snooze but- ton at least three times to de- lay g etting out of bed. “1 always plan to get up right away, but sometimes when the alarm clock rings I turn it off and go back to sleep, sophomore Tony Landin said. Seventy-six percent of the students were awakened by alarm clocks or clock radios. The others usually had their parents wake them. My mother has awakened me since elementary school. I’ve tried alarms and clock ra- dios, but nothing works. It's got to be something bold, senior Kelley MacGillivray said. Some people found unusual ways to get out of bed. They set more than one alarm or put the alarm on the other side of the room, so that it “In the first row I want Boch- mann and Concannon ..... then in the back Trow, Ver- hoeven and Wright, social studies teacher Marv Scott said as the students groaned at the thought of yet another seating chart.

Even though alphabetical or- ganization was popular among 41 percent of the was necessary to get out of bed to turn it off. “When my dual alarm clock rings I turn it off and reset it for a later time. I sleep a few more minutes, then I open the window to get myself awake, sophomore Elizabeth Cum- mings said. At times the few extra winks caused problems for students at school. “Because I overslept, I was of- ten tardy to homeroom. So, I was given restricted study hall and then suspened twice, senior Kim Briley said.

I will forever be filed under the letter 'B', sophomore Jeff Berryhill said. Another popular method of seating, used by 36 percent of the teachers, was random seating. Assigned seating charts aren't a good idea. They can make a class really tough,” freshman Theresa Yaney said. Students complained about assigned seating charts, but | when they weren't ordered to sit in a special place most cre- _ ated unofficial seating ar- rangements for themselves.

It was no longer a homosexual disease, but one that also affected the heterosexual popula- tion. Because of the paranoia that surrounded AIDS, the Administration was forced to come up with a policy in case a student in the school district would acquire the dis- ease. The policy, which was approved by the School Board on April 27, stated, “Students having AIDS and receiving medical atten- tion are able to attend classes. Siblings will be allowed to attend school,” and that “screening will not be a requirement for school entry.” “It (the policy) was written to protect any student in the school system with AIDS, but it also lays the groundwork for educat- ing the students and staff,’ school nurse Eileen Tramp said. Despite the policy, some students believed that it was wrong for people with AIDS to attend school. “If a student with AIDS attended school, I would stay away from them and avoid any contact, sophomore Jason Cain said. Due to misconceptions about the disease, educating the students became a top prior- ity. To educate seniors about AIDS, the Admin- istration held a required assembly on May 7. During the hour-long workshop seniors viewed an 18-minute film entitled, “Sex, Drugs and AIDS” which was followed by a discussion led by doctors and teacher facili- tators. “I feel that the assembly should be optional because if people want to learn about AIDS they will get it from other sources, senior Sonia Deluca said. With its policy and student workshop, the school district believed that education was an important part of curbing the fear and panic about the AIDS disease.

Many took their first step into the school on that historic day - the only time two new classes were welcomed to the school at the same time. It was kind of threatening (at first) be- cause the school was so big but I got used to it, freshman Nate Block said. Students wandered through the halls looking for the auditorium where they were to meet the staff for orientation.

After the staff finished talking about school rules and the new time schedule, students were directed to their home- rooms.

Next, with the aid of a Cyclone Helper, students took a tour of the school. Two helpers were assigned to each homeroom - 80 altogether. These juniors and seniors helped lost students find their destina- tions and aided the homeroom teachers with the registration process. “Orientation was the first time I had been to the school and the Cyclone Help- ers showed me around,’ sophomore Connie Craven said. Finally, the students attended ten-min- ute classes according to their class sched- ule. | liked going to my classes because it gave me a preview of the year and what to expect,” freshman Ana Briceno said.

It made regis- tration a little less hectic,” sophomore Sarah Post said. However, despite the attempt by the faculty to appease stu- dents with this change, not everyone was pleased. Id rather spend the time (self-scheduling) at registra- tion if I could choose my teacher and my free periods, junior Kathy Trahanovsky said. Most underclassmen agreed NEW POSSIBILITIES with Trahanovsky's views on self-scheduling. “I wish we had self-sched- uled.

This wouldn’t have hap- pened if we had self-schedul- ing,’ senior Grethe Lange- land said. Freshmen and sophomores were required to enroll in an eighth period class or a struc- tured learning center (SLC). This was a change from pre- vious years, when sopho- mores had been allowed to leave after seventh period if they did not have an eighth period class. “1 don't mind that I have an eighth period this year be- cause we can't leave school anyway, sophomore David Hayes said. Whether eighth period was bearable or not, often depend- ed on the class that the stu- dent was enrolled in. Freshman Kelly Magoon said that having an eighth period class was hard for her only because the class was diffi- cult. But whether students hated or didn’t mind those extra 43 minutes, they had to live with it or drop the course. -Maggie Kim NEW POSSIBILITIES um Farrington-Gandhi 105 Underclassmen ` um | «9 10, 11 Gregg Garn (9) Stephanie Garrey (10) Francis Genalo (9) Wendy Gibb (11) Patrik Gibbons (11) Paul Gibbons (9) Chad Gibson (10) William Gierasch (10) Seth Gilson (10) Lori Girard (11) Joseph Gitchell (11) Sarah Gitchell (9) Dustin Glist (11) Joseph Glotfelty (11) Franklin Goerner (10) Jason Good (10) Joseph Goodfriend (10) Bryan Goodwin (10) Christopher Goodwin (10) Malcolm Goodwin (11) Matthew Goodwin (11) Rolf Gould (10) Timothy Gouran (11) Jessica Gowdy (10) Teresa Graham (11) Stephanie Graves (9) Ellen Grebasch (11) Andria Green (9) Ronald Gregory (10) Amy Greimann (10) Blair Greimann (10) Shawna Greiner (10) Heidi Greisch (10) Timothy Grewell (10) Scott Griffin (11) Steven Groat (10) Maria Groeneveld (9) Dorothy Guhlke (10) Lindsey Gunnells (10) Jeffrey Gunnerson (11) Frederick Haggard (11) Kris Hallberg (11) Jason Hallett (9) Kelley Halliburton (9) Jeffrey Hamilton (10) Bradley Hampson (11) Brett Hampson (11) Christy Handsaker (10) Brian Hansen (10) James Hansen (9) Mistelle Hansen (11) Julie Hanson (9) Rodney Harl (10) Sarah Harms (9) Cynthia Harris (9) Scott Harrod (9) Andrea Hartman (11) Suzanne Harvey (9) Meriam Hathaway (10) Heather Hatten (10) Amy Hausman (9) Eric Hawbaker (10) Jason Hawkins (10) David Hayes (10) Dylan Hayes (11) Jessica Heath (9) Jordan Heath (11) Robert Hefley (10) Barbara Heins (10) Dayton Heins (10) Kelli Hemme (9) Tara Hensley (9) ( ,arn-Hensley 106 Underclassmen y ٠ A í J4 A d | NEW POSSIBILITIES | Hallways were ‘too close for comfort’ OVERCROWDING Although A overcrowding was expected with 1380 students, most found themselves unprepared for the inconven- iences. With the addition of the fresh- men, lockers, hallways and the lunch- room were often overcrowded. The halls were almost always packed be- tween classes, especially the breezeway and main lobby, causing some unwanted tardies and student complaints. The halls were ridiculous, especially the breezeway. I found myself forgetting some of my books in my locker, so sometimes I couldn't make it to class on time, freshmen Scott McGlothlen said. Overcrowding didn't only occur in the hallways and the lunchroom. One- tourth of the student body had to share a locker with someone. The ones who did, felt cramped and were often irritated. “There was not enough room for all my books, my bag and my jacket, including all of my partner’s stuff crammed into our locker, junior Susan Theile said. Another overcrowding problem that stu- dents had was finding a place to sit at lunch. With four grades instead of three, trying to find a place to sit in the cafete- ria was difficult. Sometimes the lunchroom wasn't crowded at all, but the days it was over- crowded I had a hard time finding my friends so I felt a bit intimidated, soph- more Marty Johnson said. These problems forced students to either cope with the situation or come up with a solution. Many students opted to use the back hallway and the others decided to skip the hassle of finding a place to sit in the cafeteria and instead spent their time in the Media Center or the Math IMC. Freshman Brian Krausemen concluded that, it didn't bother him because it was just another problem that we had to learn to live with. -Kelli Criner gf With the five-minute passing time between classes, junior Mark McConnell and other students hurry to get to their classes thr ough the crowded halls.

One change was not having to start school in the blisterin hot August weather. Seen schools across the state began classes after Labor Day, in ac- cordance with the new state law.

One was having to arrive at school by 8:00 a.m. instead of 8:05 a.m. This allowed students to leave twenty minutes earlier at the end of the day. It's worth coming to school five minutes earlier each day in order to leave by 3:00 p.m. junior Paul Shevokas said. [n order to shorten the school day, the 12-minute free read- ing time, which had been in practice for five years, was also dropped.

The addition of the new one-half million dollar gymnasium also caused chaos.

Another change caused by construction, was the location and date for PSAT test- ing. Since the gymnasium wasn't availi- ble, the testing date was moved back two weeks and juniors took the tests in class- rooms throughout the building. “I didn't mind taking my PSAT tests in the auditorium because where I took the tests didn't make any difference, junior Anne Johnston said. Coaches' dressing rooms, increased stor- age and locker room space, a new train- ing roo m and a larger wrestling room were all part of this construction project. These expansions have definitely bene- fitted the student body and have given sports and physical education classes double the amount of space for activi- ties, junior Natalie Best said. -Neila Anderson Using the new Room 123, Varsity Basketball Coach Wayne Clinton discusses strategies with his team before the January 16, 1987 Dowling Game.

But because of a newly formed committee the front entrance was re-landscaped. Formed in February 1986, the Environ- mental Planning Committee involved seven students, five staff members and eleven parents. Their purpose was to help create a cleaner atmosphere around the school. The two biggest changes that were insti- gated by the committee were landscap- ing the front of the school and new black stair treads. They also painted the lobby in coordinating colors. Committee Chairperson Carolyn Jons said that the new landscaping was a big improvement. The bricks and weeds were replaced with grass, cement, plants and bushes to make the front entrance look more attractive. According to Jons the re-landscaping took 473 hours of volunteer work from people in the community, students and staff. “Being on the committee took a lot of hard work, that’s why I was impressed to see the front landscaping turn out so well, senior Clark Musser said. In cooperation with the school district, The Environmental Committee pur- chased new black stair treads. To pay for this purchase, a new program called, Adopt-A-Step was formed, allowing people to adopt either a $40 step or a $15 four-square-foot landing tile. | thought that the idea of Adopt-A- Step was a great idea, and the new black treads were a much needed improve- ment, junior Tammy Scherr said. Adopt-A-Step not only raised money to pay for the new stair treads but also created a unique birthday present for some students. | was surprised when I found out that I got a step for one of my birthday pre- sents,” freshman Jill Wall said. By selling 18 stair treads and two landing tiles the committee raised almost $1500, which was enough to pay for half of the total cost of the steps. The school district contributed the other half.

Composition for the College Bound, Spanish II, English 10 and Algebra Il were some of the classes that required students to use the Apple IIe computers. The Spirit and Web staffs also com- posed their stories on the computers. “It was easier to write and make correc- tions on the computer than it was on a typewriter,’ freshman Stacia Madsen said. Because of the popularity of computers, the one semester course was broken down into two separate classes: Comput- er Applications and Computer Program- ming. In addition, the IMC was computerized with 20 terminals that accessed the card catalog. Students could search for mate- rials by subject, author and title. Using the computer was faster than having to look up individual books; the printouts helped a lot,’ junior Mike Lloyd said. With this increased number of comput- ers and more students using them, the school had officially launched into the computer age. -Polly Stromley NEW POSSIBILITIES Van Auken-White Underclassmen � Using one of the 17 computers in the Room | P 9 computer lab, junior Jay Swanson works on an assignment for Computer Applications class.

But as seniors, it was time to learn how to do new things such as manage their own money, cook their own meals or even wake themselves up in the morning. As graduation drew closer, students started to realize that they wouldn't be able to rely on others for much longer and would soon have to become more responsible if they wanted to survive on their own. “I’m so used to spending my parents’ money and having them do things for me like my laundry. It'll be scary to be on my own,” senior Ann Collins said.

Senior Chris Okiishi said that his par- ents allowed him to make more of his decisions. They let him decide if he should participate in extra-curricular ac- tivities and how much time he should spend on them. He said that because he was a senior, his parents trusted him more and listened to his opinion. But for some students, the independence and responsibility had been a part of their life long before they became sen- Lors, “My mother owns her own business which has left me pretty much on my own. Things won't really change for me next year, senior Jeff Borer said. For these students, a new life on their own would just be a minor change. But for others it would be as hard as trying to clean a DRY CLEAN ONLY sweater in a conventional washing machine. -Maggie Kim — ÁÜ— — DOT oM Aha LEE ee ee eee H ١ I d + Le dg 03 ` RS - ١ e Aa- f ١ è mem 1 ١ — es emm Hu Taking some responsibility into his hands? senior Tom Quigley surprises his family by voluntarily cleaning up the house and helping with) the dishes.

To his classmates, he was known as Monsieur Brun Nez (Mr. Brown Nose) - this was one of the most popular methods students used to become a teacher’s pet. Many students considered pets to be those people who received good grades and a few teachers admitted that they expected better quality work from their good students. “Any subjective assignment, like a term pa- per must be nearly perfect from a pet, whereas it might not be graded as strictly when dealing with an average student,” so- cial studies teacher Tom Jorgensen said. The extra responsibility that pets received wasn't the only thing given to good stu- dents, some pets received extra privileges as well. | give them more freedom. If they work way ahead, I let them out of class on a pass if they really need to do work for other classes, typing teacher Roger Jacobson said. To prevent teachers' personal feelings from Abel-Bredeson Staff 138 Taking the opportunity to know two of her students better, German teacher Betty Furr eats ice cream at Marble Slab Creamery with senior Lori Wunder and sophomore Steve Klein. (Photo by Jennie Nuese). influencing students’ grades, many chose to grade using a system based on points. “It’s easier for me to give a variety of im- portance to each assignment, and I can use it to prevent giving preference to any stu- dents,’ math and social studies teacher Eli- zabeth Verhoeven said. On the other hand, students with a negative view of class and those who caused trouble gained the title of teacher's pests”. “They're the ones who don't pay attention want to talk instead of work and then come plain when they don't understand,” E istry teacher Floyd Sturtevant said. : | Getting into arguments with students was one situation that many teachers did theif best to avoid. “I tell them I make the rules. I don’t like ta; get in the situation where I have to argues with a student. I don't want to lower myself to that level, French teacher Sally Schone horst said. While some teachers admitted they had fa vorites, they also agreed treating all stu dents fairly was top priority. “I'd be lying if I say that teachers don t like some students more than others. But If you've been in it as long as I have, you tm to make sure there is no discrimination tak ing place, Jorgensen said. -Kathy Peake | 2 = CE TET 2 ا يمري‎ ee ew abs — — ج٠‎ — E EE ب ببس ب بِِى ب‎ = ae ee Se lm == — n ——— Án -F —_— — — — e $e ee o = سم سے‎ = pim ee e SS MÀU aea o c CP A — J— —À——sm— — = SS — MÀ ——— 9 س‎ -— — - - — , Mrs. Judy Brunner: Math IMC Aide, Mrs. Karen Bruton: Typing 1.

Each new generation that comes along perceives things different- ly; the kids of the sixties, the seventies and the eighties have had different points of view. Its a challenge to keep up with them, White said. Biology teacher Gerald Dunn not only en- joyed the students he worked. with in his classes but was also enthusiastic about the subject he was teaching. There's so much variety in science that there's always something new happening and it doesn't get boring, Dunn said. I'd hate to have a job where I'd have to do the same thing day after day, like on an assem- bly line. According to most teachers, their profes- sion could be both exciting and tedious, interesting and boring, depending on fac- tors such as the students they were working with and the subject they were teaching. Teaching is challenging. It allows you to be creative because you can use your mind and extend yourself as far as you want, English teacher Anne Pier said. -Anne Johnston 4� Ata party in appreciation for her many 7 hours of volunteer work in the English office, Faye Larkins is presented with a compli- mentary check by English Department Coor- dinator Keith Carlson.

It’s a tough question to answer. Sometimes I find myself pon- dering that very thought. When 1 think of Saturday morning practices, I can't find a good reason why | did it. We ran circles around the var- sity football players - in black, blue or even hot pink running tights; panting, wheezing and praying for the end of practice. A couple of us would always whine and complain of pain and basic exhaustion, begging Smurf'' (Coach Kirk Schmaltz) for mercy. But when I think back to the experience, I know that I would have been crazy not to be a part of the cross-country team. I made some of my best friends during cross-country. When you spend at least two hours each night for two months with the same group of people, it’s only normal to become friends. Even though only five people ran in a varsity race, we all shared the highs and lows of the season. When the team won, we cele- brated from our strongest to our weakest runner. When we lost, we all felt down; no single person was to blame. One problem that most of us encountered at mid-season was motivation. It was hard to keep going, especially when the weather got cold. But we found things to keep up our mental attitude. Some- times it was an up-coming meet or even the weekend. But most of the time, it was the boys’ cross-country team with David Moravetz's legs, and John Burris's smile.

With under three minutes to go, a fumble recovery and an interception gave Roosevelt two touchdowns and spelled dismay for the Little Cy- clones. “The loss to Roosevelt was a freak thing,” sophomore tail- back Dave Knight said. “I still don’t know how we lost to them.” On September 19, the Little Cyclones saw themselves with a 1-2 record and felt the need to begin a new season.” “In our two losses we didn't play as a team and our record showed it, senior tackle Paul Weltha said. Our new sea- son started against Lincoln. The team went on a four- game winning streak averag- ing 44 points and 418 yards per game. In those four games the team outscored their op- ponents 175-33.

They were seniors John Glotfelty, Paul Weltha, Todd Coe, Dan Knight, junior Duane Magee, and sophomores Dave Knight and Joe Barry.

But, because of two fluke losses by other teams around the state, the Little Cyclones clinched the sixteenth and final spot in the state playoffs. “I thought that it was all over after we lost to Val- ley,” junior defensive back Eric Barnum said. “But then when I was called (that night), I found out that we had a second chance to prove that we deserved to go to the playoffs.” At 2:45 p.m. on October 29, 12 charter buses holding 360 fans made their way down Twenti- eth Street in Ames with the help of a police es- cort.

Iu ro e 0 0-0 ae ZA od arrere es gx F ans who attended the powderpuff football game eagerly awaiting the scratching, hitting, tripping and all-out violence that pla- gued the previous year’s game, left more than just a little disappointed. “We were out to play football and that was all! It was good, clean, American fun,” senior Colleen Crow said. Due to the addition of the freshmen class to the high school, four teams took the field instead of the traditional two. The first game pitted the Sophomore Savages against the Freshmen Violent Femmes and in the second game, the Senior Silver Bul- lets faced the Junior Trojans. Two factors that contributed to the success of the games were the presence of Principal Ralph Farrar and Associate Principal William Ripp. They were on the field at all times to enforce their threat of auto- matic ejection from the game for any player involved in fighting or violence. But, innocent as they seemed, both games contained their fair share of brutal moments. “There was a lot of jersey- pulling and a couple of people got knocked around, but it was just because both teams were playing hard. No one was intentionally trying to hurt anyone else,” freshman Nicole Devens said. Halfway through the first game, sophomore Alison Bundy and freshman Laura Zachary were treated for head injuries obtained when the two collided on the field, sending Zachary’s head staight into Bundy’s teeth. Both teams took a beating, but when time ran out, the sophomores had triumphed 14-8. The second game was slightly less physical and not quite as eventful as the first. The two upperclass teams re- mained scoreless until the Trojans were able to score on a running play with less than a minute left on the clock, winning the game against the Silver Bullets 6-0. Legitimate play, however, was briefly interrupted late in the third quarter when junior Kris Schultz and senior Tina Guge were ejected from the game for fighting. Rule changes, new attitudes make powderpuff football a ) MASHING UCCESS I thought what they (Dr. Far- rar and Mr. Ripp) did was fair. I can understand them not wanting me to play. I just don’t understand why they made me go sit in the stands afterwards instead of letting me stay with my team,” Guge said. Cold weather and state play- offs for the varsity football team were some of the nega- tive factors that played a part in the game. “It was hard for us to get any practice time in. Getting ready for the state varsity playoffs took up most of the coaches’ time and the weather was so bad that we had a hard time getting anyone to come to practice,” senior Dale Sha- han, a junior girls’ coach said. Cold weather was also re- sponsible for the smaller- than-usual crowd that attend- ed the event on game night, raising a total of only $839 for the Senior Girls’ Club. But when the games were over and the stands were cleared, it was apparent that rule changes and new attitudes had made this powderpuff game a smashing success. -Tara Fatka Powderpuff da 163 Sports he boys’ golf team went full swing into the I; activated fall sea- son and sliced up a second finish at the state meet.

In only its second year of ex- istence, the Little Cyclone volleyball team improved from a 5-7 record the year be- fore to a 12-12-2 record, and went from a seventh place finish to fifth in the Metro Conference. This improvement could have been due to the team’s six re- turning letter winners: sen- iors Kyla Clark, Mareen Keen and Carol Peterson; junior Tracy Frasher; and sopho- mores Marty Johnson and Sharon Miller.

After beating Roland-Story in a close game, Ames went on to beat Nevada and Gilbert, clinching the championship. Winning the tournament came with a price however, since senior Carol Peterson injured her knee, and was out for the remainder of the year. Because the high school gym- nasium floor was being refin- ished, the Little Cyclones practiced at both the old Cen- tral Junior High and Ames Middle School, where they also played their games. The low ceiling and smaller playing area caused some problems for the team. “We never felt we had a home, junior Tracy Frasher said. On September 11, Ames played Des Moines Hoover in one of their toughest double- headers of the season. Ames won the first game 3-4. How- ever, fatigue set in during the second game and Hoover won 3-2. In the final game of the regu- lar season, Ames faced two- time defending Metro cham- pion, West Des Moines Val- ley.

While some teams resorted to illegal play, others found a more dignified road to success. For Stienstra, strategy was the key. We played a basic zone defense. We kept two guys on the other team's best player and kept their worst person open and free to shoot, he said. According to Stienstra, this meant a lot of shooting opportunities for players like Tim Burrell and Taylor. In the championship game, Stienstra's team was matched against Hunziker's for the March 5 confrontation. Hot shots and cool plays from both teams set the stage for an exciting confrontation (even Earl the Pearl Schwieger got into the act).

I had the opportunity to observe a unique definition of power. I witnessed Phi Jamma Danna, Dan Knight, shatter a plexiglass black- board. As Coach Wayne Clinton strolled onto the court for practice, we endured a sensory experience. He was wearing that all-too-familiar black sweatsuit with orange trim. It was a standard joke that we'd practice extra hard on the day before a game so that he wouldn't wear his sweatsuit to the game. As our loyal fans can attest to, our plan didn't work as often as we would have liked. After our pre-practice shoot- around, we formed two lines for lay-ups. Junior Bill Hoefle, “Mr. Assist”, tossed the ball to Dan, who took the standard two chest-high dribbles of a post, and was cleared for take- off. He leaped, or rather, soared to the basket, broguht the ball behind his head and executed an earth-shaking, backboard- breaking dunk. The result sounded like 100 clipboards had been simulta- neously thrown to the floor. Everyone, including Dan, stared at Coach Wayne Clin- ton. He, in turn, focused on the gaping hole above the rim and at the sea of spider- cracked plexiglass on the floor. It may have been the lighting, but I could have sworn Dan turned pale. “Now that's something you don’t see everyday!” Dan said. When someone asked me what happened that afternoon, I re- plied,.

Going into Districts at Fort Dodge was rough, and the effects of missing eight practices showed in the performances of Brett Carney, Ellsworth and Joe Rogers. At Districts, Rogers placed third, Carney placed fourth and Ellsworth placed fourth. Four wrestlers, senior Paul Weltha at heavyweight, juniors Craig Randles at 105 pounds, Mark Morken at 112 pounds, and Rob Watt at 126 pounds qualified for State competition. The State meet was tough as Randles was beat in his first match. Watt finished third and Morken finished sixth.

Weitha's quest for a second State Championship was almost over as the final seconds ticked off and he escaped with a 2-1 overtime victory. “It felt good to win my second state cham- pionship with a win over Jamie Cutler because he gave me my only loss of the season and I was out for revenge, Weltha said. According to Head Coach Jack Menden- hall, the season wasn't spoiled be- cause of the nagging skin disorder. His wrestlers finished third in the confer- ence with a record of 5-2, behind three re- turning state qualifi- ers and four seniors who had dominated the junior varsity lev- el in the previous year. Freshmen and sophomores helped fill the 98- pound and 119-pound weight classes at the varsity level. The ninth graders helped us in the lower weight classes where we have had to forfeit in past years, Mendenhall said. The 51-member squad opened its season with a win over Carroll-Kuemper but inexperience of the underclassmen in the lower weights showed against Boone. Ames was behind until two seniors, Weltha and Rogers, pinned their opponents to acheive a 27-27 tie. After tying Boone and slaughtering Des Moines Lincoln 52-3, the wrestlers headed into tournament action. They placed first at the West Des Moines Valley Tournament and took second place behind Eagle Grove at the Fort Dodge Invitational. According to Mendenhall, with the nucleus of the team returning next year and freshmen and sophomores ready to fill the weights classes of graduating seniors, the future looked bright for the Ames grapplers. -Tracy Frasher eee 182 With 7-5 record frosh prove they’re TOUGH ENOUGE dding depth to the varsity and junior varsity line-ups in the lower weight classes wasn't the only place fresh- men wrestlers were found. With 14 wrestlers, the squad finished the season with a 7-5 dual meet record. The biggest strength of the freshmen squad was that they had wrestled a lot this sum- mer, and the experience helped them, Head Coach Wes Worrell said. The season was a success de- spite the occasional loss of Scott Sams and Kon John at 98 pounds and Eric Ziebold at 119 pounds to the varsity.

Battling inexperience and a lack of seniors, the team headed into the season with a new attitude, new faces and new coaching strategies. “At the beginning of the year, we really had to turn our- selves around to overcome a pessimistic attitude among team members. The loss of last year’s seniors shook our confidence and didn't exactly help the way we felt about ourselves, senior Dave Cle- mow said. With only four returning sen- iors, the Little Cyclones began their rebuilding stage. The re- sult was the addition of a large number of inexperi- enced swimmers, mostly sophomores and freshmen.

New coaching stategies, in- cluding dividing the team into three separate groups (distance, middle-distance and sprinters) were intro- duced to tackle the dilemma of training the inexperienced swimmers. “Dividing up the team made our workouts individualized and each swimmer got more attention according to his own specific abilities,’ Cle- mow said. The season progressed and a winning record emerged as the Little Cyclones scored some early wins against Des Moines Lincoln, Fort Dodge and West Des Moines Dowl- ing. As the number of wins in- creased, so did the team's ex- pectations of their state meet performance. We wanted to place in the top ten at State, but as the sea- RS son went on, we watched our- selves being rated as high as sixth in the state. Then we be- gan to realize that a top-five finish was possible, Head Coach Mike Wittmer said. One diver, junior Frank Pipi- tone, and five swimmers, sophomore Boris Bachmann, junior Matt Wittmer and sen- iors Mike Hilmer, Steve Wil- liams and Clemow advanced to the State Meet after the team placed second at Dis- tricts. During state meet competi- tion, the Little Cyclones found themselves in seventh place until a disqualification in the 4x100 freestyle relay sank the team back to a tenth place finish. “We were the expected under- dogs when we went into the meet but we pulled through, Williams said.

When the 21-member hockey squad met at their first practice in early Novem- ber, both the coaches and players knew that the season that lay ahead of them would be tough, extremely tough. “In contrast to the previous year, most of the players were small in size and inexperi- enced. Our little guys had the speed to usually keep up with the big ones but it was exper- ience we lacked, Head Coach Noel Erickson said. There were no seniors present at that first practice, and due to that fact, juniors Sean Mur- doch, Rich Dykema and Wade Weltha were placed in the roles of captains. “We had a tough time com- peting against other schools that had a senior balance. We didn't even have much varsity experience, junior forward Brian Martinson said. The season started off with a 3-2 victory over Waterloo Co- lumbus, which was followed closely by another 9-4 win over Urbandale. However, the team did not win again until very late in the season.

In addition to experiencing many losses, the squad under- went three different head coaches throughout the sea- son. The first head coach, Mike Watitley, moved out of town and handed the position down to his assistant, Rusty Moore. Moore led the team for eight weeks, but quit due to personal reasons. Erickson cane back to resume the posi- tion for the remaining part of the season. “It was frustrating for me at first because it seemed like the players weren't realizing their potential, but the end of the season was really gratify- ing. The effort the guys gave and their performance at State proved just how much poten- tial they really had, Erickson said. Players also felt that the tran- sition from coach to coach complicated the season. “It was hard to get used to each new coach. They expect- ed different things from us, both on and off the ice, sophomore goalie Brett Calli- son said. At the end of the season, ju- niors Jamie Watne, Cook and Weltha all received honorable mentions, while junior for- ward Sean Murdoch, a Gilbert student, was nominated to the All-State team. After a discouraging season, receiving an award was very welcomed, defensiveman Wade Weltha said. -Amy Holm fS� .

For on that day in No- vember, he debuted as a left de- fensiveman on the Des Moines Buccaneers, a semi-professional hockey team. Every day during hockey season at approximately 6:30 a.m., Erbach hopped into his brown 310G Dat- sun to make the 30-mile treck to Des Moines. The Bucs practiced six days a week from 8 until 10 a.m. In order to accomodate the rigor- ous practice schedule, blond, blue-eyed Erbach was enrolled as a part-time student and attended school, fifth through eighth per- iods, But hard work had a payoff of its own, and it came in the form of three college scholarship offers, as well as being named to the United States Junior Hockey League All- Star team by the leagues ten coaches. Despite the offers, Erbach had de- cided to hold off on school and continue to play another season with the Bucs. “After all the time I spent,” Er- bach said, it's nice to know that something good came out of it.

Originally planned to be held during the fall, the program was moved to the spring due to the construction of the new gymna- sium. The sport was open to both sexes in all four grades and games were held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, either directly after school or in the evening. “I signed up because I play volleyball during the regular sea- son and I wanted some extra practice,’ sophomore Leah Whigham of the power league team “REEB”, said.

You would be shocked to see the girls who are the most disciplined and polite in their school clothes chnage the minute they put on those old running shorts and a t-shirt. Maybe it's the change in ward- robe or the location they're in, who knows, but by the time they set foot on the track they are of totally different charac- ters. Remembering some of the wierd talks we would have be- fore we ran really shocks me. We discussed everything from our old pet rabbits to our in- fatuations with albinos. It's the kind of talk you could only have at track practice because you've let your guard down and you no longer feel the need to impress anyone - you just let yourself go! Running with a certain group, as we call them in track, for 12 weeks, five days a week, forces you to get to know people really well. The season is full of people making new friend- ships and improving old ones. You make new and good friendships by going through the same grueling work-outs! Some days you feel as if your whole world is falling apart, but there was always someone there to help you pick up the pieces. To me, this is what track, or any other sport for that matter, is all about - FRIENDSHIP. As I think back to the season I get a smile on my face. It isn't a smile of an undefeated sea- son or one of a State Cham- pionship. Its a smile of ac- complishment, pride and friendship. Sure, winning ís great but what's the use of winning when you have no one to share it with? -Anne Coady Track Sports 197. fourth place, senior Jill Isaac- son anchors the 4x400 relay team in a time of 3:59.6 at State.

On those two Saturdays, Ames High made the Iowa track history books as they became only the third school to sweep both the boys' and girls' state titles in one season. They achieved it the old fashioned way - they earned it! “It was a true team effort, Head Girls' Track Coach Jim Duea said. We had a tremen- dous bunch of athletes and a hardworking group of assis- tant coaches who made win- ning the championship some- thing really special. On the opening day of the girls State Track meet, the girls found themselves in trouble as they closed the day with no team points and Bet- tendorf, the favorite to win, was in first place. At 1:30 p.m. on the second day of the meet, the girls still hadn't scored a point. Then at 2:00 p.m. a second place finish by the shuttle-hurdle relay team of juniors Michelle Ripp, Margie Edwards, Jodi Benna and Amy Holm put the team on track for the cham- pionship. We weren't really sure of ourselves going into the meet, Benna said. But once we started running and saw the competition, we became more confident and started winning races.

To seal the victory, Duea looked to the 4x400 team which finished fourth in a school record time of 3:59.6 seconds. One week later, on May 29, the boys squad found itself in first place on opening day of the State track meet.

Johnson was a returning letter-winner and shared the No.1 spot through- out the season with Hoefle.

We had good people, but all of them wanted to score and wouldn't give it to the other guy. I felt we could have beat- en many teams if only we would have played together, junior Greg Fuqua said. Games also conflicted with the seniors who were graduat- ing, receiving awards and par- ticipating in other end-of-the- year activities. Many of them found it hard to concentrate on games with everything else that was going on. “We (the seniors) missed two OT IN IT FOR practices in a row, so all the seniors were behind all the others,” senior Ian Hoffman Said. Other teams in the Metro Conference were co-ed but few had girls willing to play with boys. The Little Cyclone squad included two girls on the 55-person roster. They (the boys) treated me just like one of the guys, and they should have,” senior Beth Goudy said. Three years ago, freshman Leo Baudet came from Brazil where soccer was a popular sport.

U RE After 16 years as coach of the baseball team, Athletic Director Dave Posegate was inducted into the lowa Baseba ll Coaches Asso- ciation, Hall of Fame. Posegate, who coached from 1969-1985, had teams finish in the Final Four and Final Eight in the state in 1973 and 1983, re- spectively. “The award is a real honor for me and the school, because I was voted for and inducted by my coaching peers,’ Posegate said. Posegate’s peers awarded him the honor not only because of his 200 career wins, but also be- cause of his work in 1973 when he was the president of the asso- ciation. During that year, he established the Academic All-State Team and the East-West All-Star Game, to which players were se- lected for their high academic and athletic performances.

Posegate, who was a 1957 gra- duate of Ames High School and four year letter-winner on the Little Cyclone Baseball team, was inducted to the school's Hall of Fame for players in 1985. The award was in recognition of his outstanding play in the 1956 and 1957 seasons. I think that it (the award) is really a good indication of the program we have going here. I'm just glad I had the opportunity to contribute and benefit the community and the state, Pose- gate said.

H 6 NY i A � : : 3 5 q D x e Y p� s F � SC POS As athletes fell asleep, for some a vision of sugar plums dancing in their heads turned into a nightmare of buying shoes to fit the feet that they were blessed with. | hate trying to buy shoes because it's hard to find normal shoes that are a Size 14, senior football player and wrestler Paul Weltha said. Trying to find a shoe store that carried special sizes was a continuous problem that faced athletes with big feet. Many went to stores such as Hopkins in Des Moines and The Sports Page in Ames to find that special shoe size. “I have to special order my shoes from The Sports Page, unless by some strange miracle they get a Size 11 in women's sizes, junior basketball player and trackster Ellen Joensen said. Sports Page clerk Joe Glotfelty said that most athletes looked for stability and durability, and that these fac- tors were sometimes even more important than the shoe's price. Although price was not an important factor to some athletes, it did concern many others. Most athletes spent an average of $35-60 for a pair of shoes. “I spend around $200 a year for my basketball, biking and track shoes and then, of course, gas to go to differ- ent cities because I can't always find shoes in a Size 15 and a style that I want in Ames, sophomore Pat Connolly said. Because his feet grew so fast, freshman Steve Beaudry said that he wore his shoes to run around in, as well as for cross-country. Once those special shoes were found and purchased, the nightmare ceased and the vision of sugar plums returned to the dreams of athletes with big feet. -Tracy Frasher eaching ykes Lë A Gét, Sec) GE م‎ — $ KK ١ Ta � Ké eh E 3 f Ze e 4 7م‎ 4 5. 1 D ie E vA u 4 a ` ۳ pe m Eedem : i gm wA s L A Gë 7 AN 1 e Ge Ai d A 1 oy ode, a i‏ ش E‏ جل لم اهز كردم Ki M ch e P � P. wë a fn Cre As VOX d PO EN Ji 1 Fac ing up to the ultimate ` yı challenge: kids coaching kids AN As hoardes of namecalling and uncooperative munchkins streamed onto the field, the volun- teer coaches rolled their eyes and sighed.

Although an occasional temper tantrum was thrown, good feelings were felt by both the coaches and players. “If you identify the problem and tell the kids the best way to correct it, they will always try. Who could ask for more than that?” senior Ade Olor- unsola said. Olorunsola, who coached first and second grade soccer players for two summers, said that he liked the feeling of accomplishment that coach- ing gave him. “The kids lack skills when they first come, but by the end of the season you really feel like they have learned something,” he said. The children tore from the field at the end of the game as their coach’s shoulders drooped with fatigue. Slowly though, a weary grin came to the surface of the coach’s face, as he thought to him- self, “that mouthy little kid actually listened to- day.” -Doug Malcom As two Boy’s Club of Ames members wait, senior volunteer coach Jason Miller prepares to start their match.

Answer: Styling mousse. Foamy hairstyling mousse came in colors other than just white. In fact, some brands even bragged flavored styling mousse - lemon, chocolate and strawberry. But, no matter what the color or the flavor, styling mousse be- came an important part of every day hairstyling. “After I take my shower in the morn- ing, I put mousse in my hair, brush it back, and then blow it dry,” freshman Geoff Emmel said. Like Emmel, 94 percent of the 150 people surveyed by the “Spirit” staff used mousse and a hair dryer to create the style they wanted. “I wash my hair, put mousse in, blow dry it, curl it and use hair spray to hold it in place,” senior Julie Jorgen- sen said. According to the survey, 15 to 30 min- utes was the average amount of time that 51 percent of the girls took to fix their hair. Guys, on the other hand, the survey showed, took less than 15 minutes to fix their hair each morning. -Kymm Ziebold Hair Flair Ads diis Seniors Julie Flemmer and Liz Chase W work as hostess and waitress at the North Grand Mall.

The book was printed by Jostens Publishing Company from Topeka, Kansas and was served by Com- pany Representative Chuck Walter and Account Executive Gail Arm- strong. Because the school district was reorganized, it was a year of hassles, changes and new beginnings. For these reasons, the editors chose the theme, Those Impossible Possibilities , to express the feeling of over- coming adversities. The cover and endsheets, designed by the staff's design editor Julie Flemmer, use diamonds, double-rule lines and a repeat pattern as mo- tifs. Warm gray (Pantone 403), medium blue (Pantone ees. and silver foil (381) were used as applied colors. | All 204 pages of the yearbook are printed on gloss double coated enamel and 80 pound paper. Body copy is set in 10 point Palatino, captions are set in 8 point Palatino, bylines are set in 8 point Palatino bold and headlines are set in Palatino, Palatino Italic and Jefferson. A diamond was submitted as ‘bullet art” to be used in headlines, folio tabs (printed at 30 percent) and captions (printed at 60 percent). Throughout the book, black screens are used at 10, 30 and 60 percent Rule lines above the captions are in one point and the pulled quotes use combinations of eight-and two-point rule lines and ten- and one-point rule lines to create a double-rule line. Formatt Tape 7021K surrounds the advertising copy areas, is used for Classes Clubs kickers and is used for Student Life pulled quotes. People section copy areas are surrounded by a combination of six-and one-point rule lines. Each section of the book, with the exception of the 14 pages of mini-features, use columnar layout. The mini-feature pages, located at the end of the Student Life, Classes Clubs and Sports sections, use free-form layout. Staff members attended summer journalism workshops at the Universi- ty of Missouri and Ball State University in order to get ideas for creating the yearbook. They also attended the state conference. The 19860 Spirit’ received first place sweepstakes honors in the lowa High School Press Association (IHSPA) tall yearbook contest. The Co- lumbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA) named the “Spirit as one of the Gold Crown Award recipients and the National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA) recognized the “Spirit” as a Pacemaker yearbook. Special thanks go to the “Ames Tribune for numerous sports photo- graphs and area businesses for financial support in advertising. Thanks also go to freshman Tony Jackson who filled in as business manager second semester, parents of staff members and most of all, Adviser Ms. Neelum Chaudhry for her ideas, dedication and patience. -Margy Townsend and Valerie Meiners Colophon ——À— — 95 — -æ ee c ——— MÀ a l o اص‎ I ag — á——À9— ——— MÀ ———-— عد‎ Le N m i T T i on Index Consequences As the school year wound down, controversy was in the air. The AIDS workshop, VEISHEA Friday and the keg that got busted kept us on our toes. We lived with the consequences of our actions, pulled together and overcame those impossible possibilities. ¢ IMPOSSIBILITY: “How did they expect us to go to school on VEISHEA Friday?” POSSIBILITY: Even though the School Board didn’t give us a day off for VEISHEA activities on Friday, May 1, 847 students had “prior arrangements” to be out of school. © IMPOSSIBILITY: “How can the school reprimand us for attending a private alcohol party? Plus, I bet they'll never find out about it either.” POSSIBILITY: The 39 students caught for drinking on May 8 had possession charges pressed against them by the County Attorney and the Administration suspended the alleged students for one-fourth of their remaining athletic seasons. ¢ IMPOSSIBILITY: “Why didn’t parents and people of the community want us to watch the ‘Sex, Drugs, and AIDS’ videotape?” POSSIBILITY: Despite the complaints about the videotape, seniors viewed the film and had small-group question-answer sessions afterwards. + IMPOSSIBILITY: “The Administration always makes threats about people not walking at graduation, but do they ever follow through?” POSSIBILITY: According to Associate Principal William Ripp, the Class of 1987 had one of the largest number of students in school history not to participate in graduation activities. Out of 360 UNE - students only 332 walked stage to NO! k receive their diplomas. , 3 v gm, 1 M d v Ge , - : , wm Y ie 5 -Margy Townsend and Valerie Meiners 0 Ar ] ü € سا‎ JJ ) 9 ` 5 V 7 | | 4 d d NE m ww Umm. 7 NP B d ١ a S H . 2 1 o n P 35 € d.

EA 261 Closing Successes By the time June 4 rolled around we had a handful of successes to savor. Unbelievable sports seasons, a breathtaking drama production and well-deserved awards were just a few of the possibilities that had replaced the impossibilities of reorganization. ¢ IMPOSSIBLILITY: “How can anyone expect high school students to sit through and enjoy a three-hour Shakespeare play?” POSSIBILITY: With a magnificent set and the mesmerizing acting of junior John Kaufman everyone who attended the play raved about its success. IMPOSSIBILITY: “Why would anyone want to volunteer their time as a secretary?” POSSIBILITY: In addition to getting satisfaction out of helping others, the English Department’s volunteer secretary, Faye Larkins received the Outstanding Volunteer Service of Iowa award from Governor Terry Branstad. € IMPOSSIBILITY: Us win both the girls' and boys' State track titles? No way! POSSIBILIT Y: We became the third school in state history to sweep the state track titles as they came away victorious from their respective meets. ¢ IMPOSSIBILITY: “Why would anyone want to cast, direct and oversee four play productions in an eight-month period?” POSSIBILITY: In addition to completing these tasks, Drama Director Wayne Hank Hansen, was popular among students and was named the spring “Staff Person of the Semester.” -Margy Townsend and Valerie Meiners j T IN L At the Brookside Park tennis courts, senior Deepy Gupta plays in a boys Be | tennis meet with his doubles partner junior Sammy Baig. wi ec H (Photo by Erik Munson) g 49909 EN Using tinker toys, seniors Rob Z Cain and Dave Pady build mo- dels of a molecule in James Cavalco- ls Chemistry A Class.
