Then the boys went on to capture State and the girls mis- FEE sed the title by three points, placing third. | “And don't forget the other successful teams: the boys basketball team's number one ranking in the state, the journey to the state football playoffs, the volleyball team captured the | Metro title, and both the girls and boys tennis teams captured Metro titles. 7 Seriously? That's impressive! AHS not only took sports 4 seriously, but also academics.

Weekends were not meant to do homework, they - re meant to have fun. -senior Annie Weltha -Heather Jesse After five days of school the weekend rolled around. For some students it was a break to have fun, but for others the weekend brought further responsibilities. Many students felt the weekend started as soon as Friday s 3:00 bell rang. It was a time they looked for- ward to all week. “I start thinking about the week- end around Wednesday. | can t wait to relax and get away from school, freshman Becky Allen said. Getting away from school also meant getting together with friends. There are about 20 of us that we call the gang. We usually get to- gether and have a party at some- one's house. We just keep switching houses every weekend, junior Becky Moore said. On Friday nights football and basketball games were often the main attraction. We usually go to the varsity basketball game and then to the school party afterwards, sopho- more Julia Ford said. DB tucents had a regular hangout on week- ends. Senior Mike Herman and friends often supplied food and went to senior Tony Pot- Ier e house.

Students generally rented videos rather than going to a movie theater, and found the VCR was a very valuable source of entertainment. Theaters are too expensive at $4 a shot, especially with a date,” senior Trevor Andersen said. “Now | sometimes go to Nevada where it's only a dollar.’ Other students found weekend activities expensive. I spend all my money on week- ends. | spend it on food, movies and who who knows what else,” senior Dave Sedgwick said. After going out and spending money on weekend nights, many students considered mornings an ideal time to stay home and catch up on sleep. On Saturday mornings | usual- ly sleep in to 10:00 or 11:00. It de- pends on the mood I'm in, fresh- man [heresa Franco said. However, some students couldn't sleep in because they had to get up and go to work. Unfortunately, | can't lay around and watch all the games on | _ TV on the weekends because Um usually at work, junior Brian Kraus- man said. Other students had plenty of time to just lounge around on week- end days. On Saturdays | basically do nothing. | just lay around and watch a game on TV,” junior Brian Camp- bell said. But some students incorpo- rated a little exercise in their day. “| run on the weekends to stay in shape for the upcoming season,” junior Dan Bergan said. Weekends were also used to catch up on homework. Some of the gang get together and watch movies of books we were supposed to read for English, Moore said. But others put their homework off until the last minute. | wait until 8:00 Sunday night to do my homework.

So | sacrificed my hair for school spirit; Junior Scot Angus Final Victory Untraditional Homecoming week ended with success -Heather Jesse Students arrived Monday morn- ing with the school in a scheme of orange and black. This was created by cheerleaders who had decked the halls the day before. Along with the decorations, a list of Homecom ing activities lined the front hall. But some of these tra- ditional events were altered through the week, creating disappointment among many students. The decorations created the most school spirit because some activities had to be cancelled, ju- nior Amy Hausman said. The activity list began on Mon- day with window painting. The window painting activities gave students a chance to use cre- ative abilities to add to school spir- it, senior Eric DeLuca said. But the spirited air began to de- flate on Wednesday when the Pow- der Puff game had to be crossed off the list due to rainy weather. | was really disappointed they changed everything and postponed the Powderpuff game.

The evening began with the an- nual coronation ceremony. Neila An- derson and Boris Bachmann were crowned Homecoming Queen and King before a thundering crowd. After coronation a pep rally was held on stage consisting of a brief pep talk from Head Football Coach Kirk Daddow. This took the place of the traditional bonfire that had to be cancelled because of the dry sum- mer. Having the pep rally inside just didn't have the same effect as hav- ing a crowd around a blazing fire, sophomore Jennie Jones said. The enthusiasm of the student body began to rise once again Fri- day as the game approached. Sev- eral football players showed their team spirit by shaving their heads and piercing their ears. | just felt like doing something wild and crazy for Homecoming,’ ju- nior Scot Angus said. “So | sacri- ficed my hair for school spirit. ` That night the crowd carried on the momentum to help lead the Little Cyclones to a 14-7 victory over the Hoover Huskies.

However, many students would have preferred a Saturday dance They felt that there wasn't enough time to go out before and some peo- ple were too tired after the game. Having the dance after the game made it seem like a normal school party,’ freshman Joanna Pelz said. Yet Homecoming '88 couldn't be considered normal because of the many changes. Unfortunately the week was clouded with disap- pointment and conflicts, but the vic- tory and Occasional excitement were able to shine through.

Baggy sweatshirts, faded Levis and comfy shoes were often seen throughout the halls. When thinking about how to be comfortable, stu- dents often found the solution was the oldest pair of jeans they pos- sessed and that they could possibly get their bodies in. “Old jeans are way more com- fortable than new jeans because they ve already been broken in, se- nior Donna Kislingbury said. ۷ always fit the way they re supposed to fit. Along with old age, students felt that ripped jeans were stylish and gave a feeling of comfort as well. Ripped jeans are comfortable and they look good when it's natural, but when people try and rip their jeans on purpose it looks really stu- pid, sophomore Devon Alexander said. However, some students felt that to be comfortable, clothes didn't necessarily have to be old. They could be comfortable and still remain in style with clothes that could be bought at any time. | would wear a colorful rugby with matching leggings and socks and a pair of Tretorns. That's always comfortable and it looks good as well, freshman Beth Muller said. Many students found that dur- ing the cold lowa winters, warm jackets were definitely necessary. But comfort was still an issue. A fre- quent answer that fit both of the re- quirements was leather bomber Jackets. Bomber jackets are roomy, comfortable and very warm,’ senior Leah Whigham said. ‘They're also stylish and many people have start- ed to wear them. Many students felt that sweat- shirts also symbolized the word comfort. Students were seen wear- ing Champion sweatshirts which were extremely thick and came ina variety of colors and styles. Champion sweatshirts are both comfortable and in style,” ju- nior Kirk Thompson said. They're also very warm and you can wear them anywhere. ` seeing girls in men’s under- wear was also a common occur- rence. Boxer shorts appeared ev- erywhere from the basketball court to the classroom. While guys wore them for their original purpose, girls found them a comfortable alterna- tive to casual shorts.

It was a given that a comedy and a tragedy would have many dif- ferences. “Im Sorry the Bridge is Out, You'll Have to Spend the Night, was a musical comedy per- ۱ formed November 4-6. Similar to “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” Mary Merryman (senior Cheryl Kap- lan) and John Wellgood (senior Dave White) spent a rainy night in a Spooky castle. The many one-liners which re- sulted allowed the audience to re- lease their tension for two hours. “The audience really liked ‘Bridge’ because they could get into it without having to think, junior Marit Munson said.

They weren't as relaxed, Kaplan said. The audience found something to laugh about in Bridge, but the winter play made people concen- trate. Blood Wedding was perform- ed January 12-14. This Spanish tragedy, similar to “Romeo and Jul- et, demanded the actors put forth more effort and concentration. There's a lot of passion — it's really intense. | was proud to be part of it (Blood Wedding ), sophomore Todd Hawbaker said. After intense practices, Director Wayne Hank Hansen noticed con- trasts between the presentations of the two plays. The whole mood is opposite from ‘Bridge. ‘Blood Wedding de- pends on light, sound and costume — it’s highly poetic so the technical aspects are important,’ Hansen Said. While bright costumes and scenery in pastels were used in Bridge, dark outfits and little scenery were used in Wedding. The sound crew used pre-recor- dings for Bridge, but the crew- head, senior John Pursey, used his own equipment for the winter play. Im actually playing (key- boards) — | have to improvise. But | like it because the sound in the au- ditorium is so much bigger than at home, Pursey said. Other crewheads also found the winter play more demanding than Bridge. As the costume crew- head, senior Toni Jackson had trou- ble getting the costumes done on time. Its impossible to get every- thing done for the winter play. With the breaks and finals, there's never enough time, Jackson said. Being carefree or full of tension, the actors played in bright lights or dark shadows. In either case, they affected the audience's emo- tions — leaving them laughing or crying. e ٦ ke $ imn - ——————————— E = we em — — - à . p - سے‎ e = e — سه‎ — 7 M = u————— Áo — —-— M mg mmm mm - — e e - D À— gg € i €— — e —————r — — a — - o - eMe wf کےا‎ vedi vp Hp m s t 1 8 مم‎ me چس‎ m ا‎ , n EN ta رر‎ 0 a imma 22-0 ہے D em M | wv, ےچ‎ m MILI oA دقع‎ SED: ee een ee Te eee ov DIL d Wie a demanding lead in Blood Wed- | ding, sophomore Sonya Bibilos has to jug- | کے gle her already busy schedule even more.

Some girls cooked dinner for their dates and others entertained at home after the dance. After the dance, we all wanted to just be comfortable, senior Pam Westvold said. We decided to go to one of our houses and relax. We ended up playing our own version of Pictionary and we all had loads of fun. An additional advantage of the dance for many underclassmen was extended curfews. Some could stay out much later than a usual weekend night. The dance was fun, but not ex- actly what | expected,’ freshman Kendal Holder said. ‘I did get to stay out until 1:00 though, and my date, (senior) Paul Flugrad, got to stay at my house until 5:15.

Instead of earning merit badges, they were building new friendships and strengthening old ones. Being a new student this year, lunch was like the scariest thing to me. | started sitting with (seniors) Kim Konechne and Danny O Berry because they made me feel comfort- able. Then we just began doing things outside of school and our friendship got stronger, senior Kristi Coffey said. Besides helping each other feel accepted, students learned a lot from each other.

Another way students helped each other was through the Peer Helping program. “In Peer Helping, we try to get people to help themselves by dis- cussing the pros andcons of a situa- tion. We act as a mirror,’ sopho- more Dawn Cadwell said. Besides sharing their time and talents, students also shared their possessions. “When | have a car, dont mind giving my friends rides.

KE‏ ہے و 3 Kim Carey The junior-senior prom is a big levent in the lives of many students. Vhether it means buying the perfect dress or renting the right color of imousine, Prom is something stu- dents often prepare for for weeks and weeks. | Despite endless preparation, some students found that Prom ight, May 13, was filled with a vari- ty of mishaps. | My date called me three days before Prom and said that he didn't ant to go because if we were going to be ‘just friends he didnt want to vaste his money,” senior Jenni ang said. “My friends all wanted lime to go with them and their dates. ۳ figured that since | didn't go last year and | already had my dress, which | couldn't return, | should go. Î went to Prom and After-Prom with a friend and her date and it was a lot bf fun. Preparing themselves for this Dig event was very important to some students and many had no lim- its to what they would do to look just perfect. A few students even found themselves driving to Des Moines in order to get their hair styled. “A friend and | went to Des Moines to get our hair done. The guy at the hair salon like totally ratted and teased my hair, so | ran home and washed it out, junior Amanda Jones said. “It took me at least half an hour to comb all the knots out.” While attempting to prepare themselves and make sure they looked perfect, students often found themselves rushing to get ready. About half an hour before my date was supposed to pick me up | was shaving my legs and | cut them terribly. The cuts were even bleed- ing through my hose, senior Me- la nie Fiddelke said. Eventually the cuts stopped bleeding though and everything was OK. Dinner was often a big part of the evening and although some stu- any Misnaps Prom night problems didn't always add up to disaster dents tried to be creative with inno- vative dinner plans it didn't always work out. “Even though | told my date that | didn't like oriental food too well she took me to Shogun in Des Moines for dinner. | absolutely hated it and didn't eat anything, so we stopped at Burger King on our way to Prom and | got a cheeseburger and a strawberry shake, sophomore Brian Carver said. Although some students found Prom night filled with occasional mishaps, they were often quite mi- nor and the night usually turned out a SUCCESS. People always want every- thing to be absolutely perfect on Prom night, so when something little happens it usually gets blown out of proportion,’ senior Tammy Scherr said. “In the end though, the prob- lems are forgotten and the night al- ways turns out great.

Agriculture is the basis for much of lowa's economy yet the closest many have come to farming is detas- sling corn. Still, lowans were often ste- reotyped as farmers by out-of- staters. lowa was often con- fused with Ohio or Idaho. Its so annoying.

Since adulthood is one big responsibility, it's important that we ease into ita little each year, ` senior Wendy Christensen said. Learning to be responsible in high school is important be- cause in college we all have to be responsible for ourselves. In order to take care of them- selves, many students learned to cook, do laundry and vacuum or learned to manage money earned at a job. | learned | can't buy every- B, straightening up the apartment, sophomore Julie Wengert takes respon- sibility for more than keeping her own room clean.

It makes me mad that they automatically think | live on a farm, eat corn all the time and wear overalls.” Although few Ames High stu- dents lived on farms, most of those that did liked it. “You're not restricted by Space, senior Jeremy Kellen Said. You learn more responsi- bility by taking care of more things. For many people farming is their life, and by understand- ing it (farming) it gets rid of all the stereotypes.

You don't real- ize how much you rely on par- ents until you move out and have to pay for things alone, senior Danny O Berry said.

My parents don t have to re- mind me about things because they trust me more, sopho- more Breann Bruton said. They never say when | have to be home as long as | tell them before | go out.” Although some students were given privileges in exchange for responsible behavior, others felt parents expected a lot.

If | didn't do this job, | wouldn't know lowa's basic principle. lowa is based on the family farm. Another student who truly un- derstood the ups and downs of farming was senior Chris Goodwin. Goodwin raised and sold hogs. It's hard work and the mar- kets not guaranteed. Prices change quickly, Goodwin said. One thing | like about it is the money Im making from it. Although most students didn t plan on making farming their careers, many turned the expe- rience into an advantage. freshman Andy Glatz said. “l guess with our own kids and a house, we ll know how to vacu- um, do dishes and assign jobs too. As students learned skills for the future, they increased their ability to take care of them- selves. Whether the problem was sewing on a button or gro- cery shopping, students pre- pared for life away from Mom and Dad. I'm glad my parents made me do them (household jobs) because soon I'll be in college living on my own, and | wouldn't have any concern about doing things for myself, junior Amy Mangold said. Taking time to carry out re- sponsibilities and to take care of themselves gave students the fuel to continue heading down the road to adulthood.

Throughout the school year the most widespread news wasnt about the nation's cur- rent events, but was usually the latest gossip. Everyone gossips because it's fun, freshman Amy Bartsch said. One thing is said and by the end of the day the entire school knows it and it s a com- pletely different story.” At the beginning of the foot- ball season some of the players began a tradition of starting a new rumor each day to see how Who ... Said what?! many people they could get to believe them. “It started when we told a couple of people that these four guys were our captains. The funny part was that one had moved away and another didnt even play football, senior Matt Smalling said. Our playing time was so minimal, we just did it for excitement. It was fun and no one got hurt.” Although students found that what happened to whom over the weekend was fun to talk about, people sometimes did get hurt. People gossip when there's nothing else to talk about. It makes good conversation, ju- nior Jessica Miller said. “No one Big sis lil' sis: realizes that people will get hurt.” But some students found hearing other s gossip a source of entertainment in itself.

You expect a salesman in a plaid suit, nicknamed Squiggy, to walk out and try to sell you one. But you re not in a used car lot. You re in the Ames High parking lot. When school resumed in August a wide variety of cars fil- led the parking lot. Some were old, some new. Some were fam- ily cars and some unique cars. ‘The Flintstone Mobile,’ driv- en by junior Aaron Overland, was a 1980 two-door yellow Chevette. “There's a hole in the floor that goes all the way through the car. You could put your feet through the hole and run with the car like they do on ‘The Flintstones’, Overland said. Overland's car was also miss- ing a rear view mirror and the passenger door was attached to the car by string. Junior Geoff Emmel drove a 1976 Datsun 710, alias ‘Orange Crush. The car's name was self explanatory since it was orange and crushed. The 'Orange Crush' had no rear window and the car radio was stuck on sta- tion EZ listening 104. But it also had the capacity to exceed the city s speed limits. | like to drag people in my personality had Orange Crush. them in the dust, Emmel said. Some cars at school were nameless but still unique. Soph- omore Lenny Keltner drove a 1977 red Ford Pinto that was lacking a few features. It didn't have a heater, turn signals or windshield wipers. The exhaust and muffler system rattled and the engine blew up. Keltner also had two bullet holes in the rear of his car. | think people have been try- ing to shoot out my back win- dow, Keltner said. Another car s name was de- rived from a nasal function. ‘Booger’, junior Teri Pipitone's car, a 1970 green VW Bug. Booger was missing a radio, heater, speedometer and gas gauge. It also had a weak floor and the steering wheel had a tendency to jerk when she hit the brakes. “Booger is missing a lot of needed parts, but it's a great lit- tle car and it takes me wherever | want to go, Pipitone said.

But being involved in Speech Club, Thespians and the TV show ‘Visions’ helped some students become more familiar with public exposure, while also meeting new people. Speech Club focused on developing self-confidence through speaking, and included competitions which were held in two series, Ensemble and Indi- viduals. From state competition, four people with individual per- formances and a large-group performance of six people ear- ned All-State ratings, the top honor granted to speech con- testants. “Speech Cl ub really teaches you to become more expressive and relaxed around new people.

But while most students left that behind in grade school, it contin- ued to torment others. Those involved in speaking activities had to first untwist their tongues if they wanted to achieve success.

Moore and six fellow Mock Trial mem- bers presented a simulated court case. ` (Oo e e Speakers found success once e knots were out of their tongues Even though the main objec- tive was the same for all groups, methods and techniques of preparation varied.

Student government spent most of its time performing ba- sic duties such as planning Homecoming, school parties, Mistletoe, Welfare Week and Prom. We spent almost the whole year planning Prom, Junior Senate member Jill Wall said. “Our toughest decision was picking theme colors that wouldn't clash with the carpet. Student government also tried to provide new opportuni- ties and conveniences for stu- dents like Positive Life Choice Day, earlier opening hours for the media center, girls bath- room stall doors, and guest speaker John Crudele. The Council thought John Crudele wo uld be neat in com- tare: ہر‎ e Senates, Council dedicated time e for welfare of student body parison to assemblies in the past. It was good to have some- one to talk to the students rather than preach and lecture about drugs, sex and alcohol, Fresh- man Senate President Sandra Deluca said. But sometimes council and senate members became dis- couraged when trying new things, because they felt they lacked power. We want and deserve more power. Even if we work really hard to prepare and present our plans with good detail, they can automatically veto it. We tend to be secondary to the administra- tion, senior Student Council Co-President Noah Zaring said. Since student government wasn't always able to justify its ideas with the administration, the student body often felt that it didn't do anything. People complain that we don't do anything, but we do try. Students don't respond to the minutes in homeroom, and no one seems to care, Sopho- more Senate Treasurer Vicki Tsai said. After all, student government is supposed to be for everyone's benefit. ro con “Se 1 ۲ QUON CORNER QE € u.s ` ` ` EET Dou U $ ۱ ZEN: ANO ٠ .

Though the reputation of the school was high because of its academic and athletic achieve- ments, the atmosphere could sometimes become stressful. Some students felt out of place among a student body of high achievers. It's a really hard place to fit into, junior Buddy Price said. In my peer helping class we talk to each other about prob- lems we have in our lives and then discuss possible solutions to them. Helping was a key word for all of these programs.

These additions are utilized to fulfill the needs of the special ed- ucation students who use it. “The students spend all day together except for P.E. and lunch for the most part, so they- re with each other all the time,” teacher Reggie Greenlaw said. Instead of changing classes each period with different stu- dents and teachers, these stu- dents stayed with each other for most of the day. And besides having different classes such as language arts, vocational prepa- ration and community mobility, they had their own classes of in- dustrial arts, P.E. and home eco- nomlics.

As part of that program, a buddy system was set up, pairing a peer helper with one of the students.

Many students found the sessions stressful, but others realized the lessons served a purpose. It s basically to improve your tone, quality, range and enun- ciation,’ freshman Krista Olson Sald. Students often found that the voice lessons were helpful in Concert Chorale and Chamber Choir, the most advanced cho- ruses for which auditions were required. But for those students who didn t like the pressure of an au- dition, Concert Choir was an op- tion. Concert Choir isn't nearly as serious as Concert Chorale.

There were many other activi- ties in which students could get involved. Madrigal was a repro- duction of medieval traditions. Ames High and ISU students sang around Ames over the win- ter holiday, wearing vintage clothes and performing authen- tic medieval music. “It was a really unique experi- ence. It felt like you were living in the 16th century,’ junior Mi- chelle Hoover said. All these types of training led to special opportunities for sing- ing students. April 1, 60 stu- dents went to the State Solo and Ensemble Contest in Boone. While the whole group gave strong performances, 26 acts returned to Ames with ‘I ratings. You prepare music and practice it a month before you go. You sing your part for five minutes, then you re finished, senior Caroline Spike said.

Not only did runners benefit by being physically fit, but they achieved many mental gains as well.

Not only did they keep the runners in shape physically and mentally, they also gave the girls a chance to be together as a team. All of us talked to each other a lot during our practices, so we got to know everyone really well. The at- mosphere was really friendly, freshman Katie Barnhart said. The team practiced six days a week. This included running four to five miles each day after school and on Saturdays. Strong friendships of- ten developed from the time shared by the team members. “The team goes through so much together that, feeling the sup- port of your friends, it really eases the pain. Each person has highs and Support from friends and teammates Brought but lows. Your teammates are there with you not only through the highs, but also through the lows, sophomore Heather Callison said. That teamwork helped the team place third at the Metro Conference meet October 13 and sixth at the state meet October 29, both at Veenker Golf Course in Ames. But regardless of wins and losses, many runners on the team said they enjoyed participating in cross-country just for the fun of it. “The most important thing at the end of the season was that we improved. Cross-country is unique among sports, because other sports are so competitive, and in cross- country the members are united as a team, sophomore Jami Stiles said.

But it was a difficult question to an- swer, and | never really knew what to give as a re- sponse. Sometimes at 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning practices, | found myself asking the same question. After some deep thought, I have finally come up with a response. Cross-country was more than just a mental and phys- ical torture for me. It was a real challenge to face, and | had to overcome many ob- stacles to achieve my goals. But after running in meets | often received a feeling of great self-satis- faction. If | ran my hardest and gave it 100 percent, ! felt really good at the finish line, no matter where | placed in the standings. Winning and losing wasnt the most important thing in cross-country. Each race ۱۲۹۲ was a real mental challenge. Because cross-country is a sport that is 90 percent mental and only 10 percent physi- cal | needed a lot of support from my teammates and my coach. | really had to be mentally prepared to run the races. Towards the end of the season the team real- ly pulled together and ev- eryone on the team gave each other a lot of encour- agement to make tt through. At the beginning of the season, Coach Schmaltz had said, The worst thing that can happen is we ll end up being friends. And we all found out he was right. We did all become friends, and our friendships were built out of respect for each other. | had a great respect for anyone who could tough it out and give it their best. These friendships are the kind that will last, and | know I'll never forget them. In cross-country, there's nothing like a great team to give you the support you need to achieve your goals. 4 fO. wu - -——— ` TORT م س س س س س س س‎ - - — ` Dl tim had - - e KA P ww -Stacy Morford Every day was April Fools' with the boys’ cross-country team. As soon as practice started, the pranks popped up. The season s jokes began with the freshman initiations and didn't Stop. The best initiation was when the team handcuffed Jason Burris to a light pole at the corner of 13th and Ridgewood. It was funny until a city worker took away the handcuffs and complained to Coach (John) Slet- ten, senior Todd Kibsgaard said. Getting bored with practice, the team would often sneak off during their road runs. Sometimes we would bring a football along and wed stop at Brookside and play. Sletten would get so mad when he found out! freshman Jason Burris said. Their games were fun, but oc- casionally the team's antics got them into trouble. Once we mixed up all the locks in the locker room and hid them in the bottom of someone's locker.

Although the team enjoyed pul- ling outrageous stunts, they still possessed the teamwork and deter- mination to win. “We were out there every day together trying to give 100 percent to improve the team. Cross-country demands a lot from each person and requires support from the entire team, sophomore John Ramsey said. Their coach, John Sletten, was tough with the runners and their workouts, and could fire them up for any meet. “Steve Beaudry was sick and felt really down at the Ankeny meet, but Coach Sletten got on his case, and he ended up running one of his best races,” junior Tom Joensen said. The team members also helped each other as best they could, and even the least experienced runners could always hear a cheer. “As freshmen, we struggled a lot because we didn't know what to expect, but Coach Sletten and the other runners were always there en- couraging us, freshman Colin Brennan said.

Somewhere between the jokes and reality, the boys cross-country team pushed their way into third place in the Metro Conference, and fifth place in the state. Their top run- ners, Campbell and junior Dan Ber- gan, finished with rankings of 18th and 27th. Any team should be satisfied with a fifth place finish at State, but | believe that we really could have done much better,” Sletten said. Overall, the varsity team held a record of five first place finishes and two second place finishes during the season meets. The junior varsity team swept the season undefeated. Overall we had a really good year. We started off well and kept it up through the season, pulling out even a little better than we were ex- pected to.

(Photo by Jamie Watt) Boys' Cross-Country Sports -Blair Greimann What?! An 11-mile prac- tice! J.S. has finally gone in- sane. Our coach had gone mad. We were positive. There would be no way we would survive; we would go out and never come back; our legs would fall off. To our surprise, we did make it. We endured the en- tire season. There were times when we didn't feel like running and felt so tired that we could sleep while running. But not one of us regretted the season or wouldn't do it again. Oddly, there were many interesting qualities about the season. First of all, no one complained about run- ning time, everyone seemed satisfied with the amount they got. Secondly, there were no coach fav- orites (OK, maybe Bergan was) and each individual had a fair chance to run at the top. One's position was entirely up to the individual. A little work could move anyone up from the worst to one of the best, no matter what the coach or others believed his talent to be (ust ask Kirk Thompson). Consequently, there was no brownnosing either (maybe Tom Joensen tried a few times). | doubt if Coach Sletten would be af- fected by brownnosing any- way. Another strange thing was that no one blamed others for making them run poorly (I might have tried to blame Thompson a few times, however). We eac h had to rely on ourselves to do well. There was nothing to drive us but our own de- termination. Lastly, and perhaps most peculiarly, we were a very close team and always supported each other. The team stuck together like an orange mucus in races. Throughout the sea- son our team spirit helped us to obliterate every other team we faced. Each day before practice we stret- ched out in a circle, there was no hierarchy, no supe- riority. We came to know each individual and formed unbreakable bonds. 4 Bit -Lexi Leacock “The swimming and div- ing team is like a family.” We've all heard it, but few understand it, or try to un- derstand it. Here's a brief explana- tion of why the swimming and diving team is different and what makes its mem- bers so close. First of all, as most well- informed Ames High stu- dents know, the pool area is not enormous. It is under | a roof, opposed to the open ۱ sky that other teams prac- | tice under. You cant escape to anywhere, or from anyone easily. Wher- ever you go, someone will see you and say hello. But strangely enough, most of us don't want to escape from the restrictive realm of the dome (except during goal 50's and fabu- lous 100's). The small area becomes | a place of security, almost like a second home. And rather than a place of relax- ation, its a place where friends go to work and ex- perience pain together. Pain is expected; all sports involve pain. No ۲ pain, no gain,” right? Right. But the way we experience itis different. We're in water up to our shoulders, wear- ing small pieces of lycra and goggles. Weird, eh? Yes, swimmers are weird. We've heard it often enough, mostly from the mouths of other swimmers. We got to know each oth- er between swimming laps, doing flip turns at the walls, and from talking to each other (not while were swimming, of course). But there is still one thing ' that never ceases to amaze me - how the whole team will know if one member of the team is upset.

The swimmers and divers knew they were working hard in practice to achieve their goals, but many times their efforts went unnoticed by the student body because of their 2- season record. “We felt like we were ignored as a sport at pep assemblies because of our record. As a school-spon- sored sport we should have gotten more recognition, junior diver Stacy Morford said. The team also felt that their record discredited their ability. Our record deceived a lot of people about the talent on our team, senior Lexi Leacock said.

(Photo by Quentin Crowner) than a team sport such as volley- ball. One of the reasons wins were so difficult to come by was the team s rated opponents. Five of our meets were against teams rated in the top 10 in the state, junior Eldree Baer said. But no matter who we were competing against we always pushed our opponents. One of the ways the team pushed themselves was by doing cheers in the locker room, and tal- king one-on-one with teammates before a race for encouragement. We always made sure whoev- er was swimming had a pep talk, ` sophomore Beth Dinsmore said. ‘It always helps to be reminded of your goals and being told you can accom- plish them.” Both the swimmers and divers worked toward individual goals rath- er than team goals. But the team itself did have one goal; to qualify as many girls as they could for the state meet.

No one except the few dozen players who were sweating in the weight room all summer and run- ning in the July humidity and heat. We all had some- thing to prove. As the season began, the Metro Conference Champi- onship and a trip to the state playoffs were very much on every players mind. August, the beginning of the football season, brought two-a-day prac- tices, where besides learn- ing offenses and defenses, we learned the “Three Rules of Success.” Our five coaches taught us to prac- tice with Hard Work, Enthusiasm and Her, sistence' every day, and to carry those rules into games. These three mo- tivational rules gave us a definite edge over our opponents. As the competitive sea- son began, | started to real- ize that there were no stars on our team. [hat is the great thing about Ames High football. Every player who steps on the field knows that he has worked harder than his opponents to reach his goal. This is true for a third string offen- sive lineman or a second string defensive back, as well as a starting halfback. Walking down the hall on Friday, a game day, every person you see wearing his black football jersey shared the same burning desire to succeed. People who play football at Ames High are part of a team that believes it can win and succeed. The belief we shared this year is one thing that set us apart from the other teams we played. We stuck together and focused on one goal, being state champs, but we also real- ized there were numerous other things for us to ac- complish and achieve. Despite our disappoint- ing loss to Sioux City Hee- lan, we reached most of the goals we had set for our- selves, and even some we did not. 4 | Varsity Foot 3 wins S, kong 2 losses Opponent Pr t L 0006 DN AF 00٤ evelt soln D VN 7 rth SAA HA wwe: Ti 27 ۷۸ LR M d d Al L JM. zc A WE IM alle y WEL M DOV vling Mar n Ht JV Ai ce Ia ayc lt: p Varsity Football Sports SÉ 83.

In August, during the first practices, the coaches taught them the “Three Rules of Success” so they could practice those rules throughout the season. Hard Work,’ “Enthusiasm” and ‘Persistence’ allowed the Ames High football team to tie for the Metro Conference Champion- ship, advance to the state playoff quarter-finals and compile a 9-2 re- cord for the season. The football team practiced the first rule during the summer and reg- ular season practices. “Hard Work” included extra workouts during the Summer in order to prepare players for the upcoming season.

In practice, whether they were running through ropes for agility or learning plays, they were working hard to prepare for upcoming games. Doing tackling drills, pass- ing drills and defensive and offen- sive review kept players mentally and physically ready. The coaches kept them in good condition and ex- pected them to challenge them- selves. “The coaches worked us hard because they knew we had the abili- ty and vigor to reach our goals, se- nior Jason Teal said. Although they did not always play in varsity games, the junior var- sity (JV) players experienced the same pain and completed the sea- son like the varsity players.

As in any sport, while working hard to go the extra mile, it was impor- tant to have “Enthusiasm” for prac- tices and games. For Ames High players, staying enthused was rule number two. Being enthused was important because it kept us on the playing level we needed to be on each week. It made us participate by watching and learning even when not directly in- volved, senior Scott Anderson said. Firing up for agame was not hard. With one game a week during the reg- ular season, players could concen- trate on one game and get psyched up for that particular game. From Thurs- day night poker games to Friday School pep assemblies, and from Singing the school song to Saturday morning swimming after a victory, the players had fun with their sport and each other. continued on page 108 P EN e ' k 4 , ۱ j ` ei 5 DE Y ۶۷ہ‎ from the sidelines, seniors Derrick Epstein and Matt Smalling cheer the team on against WDM Valley.

When you re a family, it's like losing a son or daughter and it really makes a difference, Han- sen said. Like losing players, losing games can tend to bring a team down mentally, but the Ames High players looked ahead to the next game instead of looking back. After the Lincoln game, it just pumped us all up because we were so mad about losing, senior Paul Flugrad said. Whether they were doing the last rep in the weight room or run- ning 70 yards for a touchdown, the players kept going. They did not quit. After the loss (to Lincoln), we didn't give up because we realized that Dowling wasn't too far away and we needed to rise to the occa- sion to beat them, Flugrad said. Continuing to improve, instead of giving up, allowed the football team to win nine games, an accom- plishment that has not been achiev- e Practice and persistence kept players ed since 1921. Of those nine games, one gave them a share in the Metro Conference title, and another ad- vanced them to the state playoff quarter-finals. They were deter- mined to beat each team they played. They (the players) showed an amazing ability to match the level of their competition, Head Coach Kirk Daddow said. Learning the “Three Rules of Success’ allowed the 1988 football team to challenge themselves dur- ing practices and games. Hard Work, ` “Enthusiasm” and “Persistence are rules that they could apply to more than football. The rules we learned for foot- ball helped us to realize what it takes to succeed in sports and in every- thing in general, senior Mike Her- man said. They (the rules) are all values that will help us later on.” Not only did the 1988 team have fun and learn to play better football. but they learned the Three Rules of Success” for life too.

We won as a team and lost as a team, Head Coach Ron Bredeson said. Their season was also differ- ent than other teams because there was an A team and a B team. The B team was made for the players who didn't get to see a lot of action during the games. The season brought many challenges to both the freshman and sophomore teams and those challenges were met.

After playing five holes of golf in driving rain and lightning visible in the distance, the tornado sir- ens went off, sending 45 golfers racing back to the clubhouse. As we Sat in the clubhouse playing poker, Mrs. Bartlett came in and told us that the meet had of- ficially been called off and we should go back to school. The guys laughed and said, No thanks. Then John Alexander in- terrupted with one of his brilliant ideas. Those hackers from Des Moines ran into the clubhouse so fast that they didn't have time to find thei balls and pick them up There's gotta be about 2C balls out there. Let's take carts out and pick the balls up, Alexander said. But the guys were al ready racing to get behinc the wheel of a cart. Jor Ward, the golf pro, reluc- tantly gav e us permission to use the carts as long as we were responsible anc returned the carts to the shed. Alexander and | sped down the fairway, racing our teammates to the trea- sures to be found all over the course. The swamp-like golf course made excellent conditions to test our Evil Kanevil driving skills. Our cart raced to the eighth hole in hopes of beating Brian Moreland and 'super-frosh' Robbie Swanson to the balls awai- ting. Approaching the green we were cut off by More- land, who seemed to have won the battle, until his cart hydroplaned and crashed into a tree. Immediately, we headed for the clubhouse wanting to get home before Ward found out about Moreland's incident. The next day, Moreland told us that their insurance would cover the damage and he was off the hook We reminded him that he still had to deal with ‘Coach’. Mrs. Bartlett gave Moreland a speech but she wasn't too hard on him, and in the end it was just anoth- er good time to look back on and laugh about (except maybe for Moreland). 4 Boys’ Golf Sports l seing off at Districts is junior John Alex- ander.

One didn't have to bench 300 pounds and have rippling muscles, or run a mile under four minutes, but they had to be strong mentally. If someone lost their cool they were better off in the clubhouse snarfing candy bars and chugging a Coke because they wouldn't have survived out on the course. Its more of a game that you use your head in total coalition with your body. If the bond is broken you cant expect to be competitive, junior Chris Kennedy said. Although pressure was always a part of the game of golf, members found the season more competitive than past years. Golfers found themselves constantly vying for var- sity positions since the team was so evenly matched scorewise. In- stead of choosing who would play in the next meet, Coach Kay Bartlett averaged meet scores to play the top seven. “There was always the pres- sure to do well. You were afraid if you shot bad, you didn't play in junior John Alex- the next meet ` ander said. Not only did the team find com- petition with. themselves but also throughout their entire schedule. Originally Ames placed third in the Metro but was then disqualified be- cause of a scoring error and ended up in fith place. Atthe beginning of the season the younger players were nervous and didn't play very well. We were also missing one of our top players, freshman Chris Bundy said. Towards the end, we started playing better golf since we'd played more, but Valley and Dowling were better golfers and were too far ahead to catch up with.” The Little Cyclones also had a disappointing finish as they got beaten out at Districts by four strokes, not making it to the state meet. According to golfers, state 5ا‎ the main objective of the season. When you don't advance be- yond Districts its disappointing. You always want to do the very best that you can and make it to the top,” Coach Bartlett said. Although the team didnt do as well as they would have liked, they did have fun, especially at practice Competition and pressure left golfers ying for positions where betting was not an uncommon sight. “To relieve monotony during practice wed play skins, usually a quarter a hole, senior Ben Klaas said. Maybe we should have played skins in meets to relax. Many people played better in skins than in stroke play. ` okins was where everyone played out a hole and the losers were sup- posed to pay the winner a quarter. “Nobody actually took it seriously (the betting). We just did it for fun and the competition of playing under pres- sure,” senior Scott Magnuson said. Maybe that was our problem. We didn't take practice serious enough; we had too much fun. Even though the 1988 boys’ golf team didn t have very many wins to put next to their record, one shouldn t be fooled about their ability. Each player did their best and was capable of com- peting at a higher level. Not reaching our season long goal of going to State was really disap- pointing, but the whole team was real- ly competitive from tryouts to the dis- trict meet, junior Brian Moreland said. Ihe competition was what made the season worthwhile.

The team topped last year s re- cord of 24 wins, seven losses and two ties by winning 33, losing three and tying six times. And that was just the start. “The thing that sticks out most was the girls willingness to sacri- fice, Head Coach Karl Schloerke Said. sacrifice is what the team did.

Schloerke said. The team's ranking of sixth dropped to ninth before Sectionals began. They went into Sectionals with high hopes. They first faced Ballard and Ankeny at Ames and came away with victories against both. Then they travelled to Mar- shalltown and faced the Bobcats.

Miller and Jungst made the first team All-Metro squad. Junior Dawn Ricketts was awarded second team honors, while seniors Janet Rorholm, Marty John- son and junior Paige Hoefle re- ceived honorable mention. The junior varsity and freshman teams also had successful seasons. The JV team went 25-1, placing first in the Metro JV tournament and first in the Dowling Invitational. The freshman team went 23-2 and placed second in the freshman Metro tournament. The accomplishments that the team made reflected all the sweat, time and energy that they put in to It over the year.

This year there was a definite feeling of compe- tition in the air, urging more players than ever to attend the week of senior-led prac- tices prior to the beginning of the season. The veterans showed the newcomers the various drills they would need to perform in front of the coaches. Everyone had heard horror stories of the three-a-day practices in the 100-plus-degree August days soon to arrive. The team pulled together and, with a lot of help from Coach Schloerke, we made it through those three-a- days. We started off AHS vol- leyballs fourth season strong. The wins kept ad- ding up and the fans started showing up. We thrived on the attention and wanted to win more than ever. Finally, we had a crowd, and they were loud as we displayed Our Skills in serving, pass- ing, setting and hitting. On the court we worked great together, a reflection of the team off the court. Whether it was Amy's homemade pizza, Janet's early morning muffins, Sharon's fire-ups, Megan's F.Y.l. s, or Coach's crazy spirit is hard to say, but we all became close friends and played better than any other AHS volleyball team to date. The six seniors on the team all remember the first year of volleyball at Ames High. Nobody took Ames seriously. Through the years the team got Detter with a lot of sweat, pain, bruises and dedication. The teams that used to laugh when they saw Ames on their schedule now get out of the way when they see an Ames ball coming their way. The season is over now, and even though there are SIX seniors graduating we know that there are out- standing players ready to slip into those bunhuggers in our place. From now on everyone iS going to know that AHS volleyball is seri- ous stuff. 4 4 OE —— — —À —À — ae Á —Ó ETE ٦ ben. d s 4 E MAN.

And the decorations that sent the first chills to opposing teams did not appear there on their own. “The cheerleaders spend hours after school and on weekends ad- ding spirit to the school. We spent nine hours on a Sunday just decorat- ing the lobby for homecoming week, senior Allison Bundy said. While the signs depressed op- posing teams spirits, they inspired the Ames players. But banners wer- en t the only player motivation. Before each game the sopho- more cheerleaders made popcorn or bought cookies and candy for the entire sophomore football team. It cheered the team up, and they ap- preciated us more for it, sopho- more Staci Kepley said.

We asked the fans not to shout rude comments and we stopped doing cheers like Get Out of My Face that put the opponent down, junior Shannon Fultz said. Showers of dog food and cyni- cal shouts were common, but a few words of gratitude could cover it all. [he most important part about cheerleading was the feeling that we were appreciated by the teams. All the time we put in was worth it when someone came up and said thanks for coming, senior Whitney Olson Said. All teams had goals for their seasons, often just to improve. The cheerleaders set out not only to im- prove their abilities, but to improve players’ spirits and fans’ attitudes as well. When we started the season we had a lot of goals in mind. We wanted to support the teams, im- prove the schools sportsmanship and, of course, have a lot of fun, freshman Tiffany Scribner said. “l think we did a fine job accomplishing them all.

OK, we didn't have a baby, but our coaches did. Baby Bret came bouncing into the world and we adopted him with open arms. At practice, we warmed up with Lamaze exercises, and at games, we spotted our number one fan in the crowd decked out in his Little Cyclone sweat- er. Bret, we would like to leave you with a few helpful hints about basketball. Number One: Good luck charms don't win games. The season was a constant struggle; we were always a step away from success. When times got extra tough, we looked for advan- tages. We picked up good luck charms and created superstitious rituals. Donna donned three French braids. Stacia wore orange Jockey underwear, and Leah and | would stick plas- tic thimbles on the end of our pinkies, put them to- gether and chant, “Wonder Thimble powers activate form of a win!” Our efforts were futile. Number Two: When all else fails, try what the coach says (coaches do know what they re talking about). After several dis- couraging losses, a sug- gestion came that maybe our offense didn't work. Coach reassured us that the offense was not at fault and he was right. Over the next few weeks we played like a team and improved a great deal. Number Three: Keep the game In perspective. Through all the long prac- tices, sweat and exhaus- tion, we gained more than a winning record; we expe- rienced the excitement of competition and learned to work as a team. Although I'm sure you ll hear it thou- sands of times in years to come, remember, “Winning isn t everything. ` Well, Bret, you have a long life ahead of you and a number of games to look forward to. The team wishes the best in all that you do, but we want you to promise us one thing. Al- ways remember how spe- cial your parents really are because while they were raising you, they were also raising 12 teenage girls.4 18) Girls’ Varsity Basketball Sports 7 a home game against Mason City, sopho- more Jennifer Kellen looks for an outlet to pass to after grabbing a rebound.

A lack of victories led girls to emphasize avi -Bryan Schabel The girls’ basketball team had a somewhat unfulfilling season judg- ing by their 5-16 record, but overall, their success was generally regar- ded plentiful. Sure we didn't have that great of a record, but we had a blast during the season,’ senior post Toria Sim- mons said. It s awesome winning a lot of games, but the most impor- tant part of being on a team is having fun ... and we did.” The season started off with a bad tone, as they lost their first four games to Marshalltown, WDM Val- ley, Fort Dodge and DM Roosevelt. And early losses sometimes lead to a poor season. Ihe first few games really brought us down,’ senior forward Nikol Schnieder said. We played top-10 teams in the very beginning of the season, SO we were destined to start off on the wrong foot. The season never did get on track; the girls continued a disappointing year. It should have been better; we expected more,’ senior forward Marty Johnson said. We had the potential and ability to end with a lot better record than we did. It was dis- appointing. ` Perhaps the team's goals were a bal too high; they didn't return any star- ters from the previous year’s squad and lacked the size they needed to compare with their opponents. “One major disadvantage was that we had no height, Coach Rick Ballantine said. “Its hard to win in basketball when most of your team is smaller than the girl she is guar- ding. The majority of our opponents had at least one girl that was 6'0” tall, but our tallest girl was only 5'10 . Despite disadvantages, the team still relied on a little superstition to help them through the season. Jodi (Rhinehart) and | always put these little plastic thimbles on our fingers and say: Wonder thimble powers ... activate... form of... a win! senior center Leah Whigam said. After that, we put them in our socks and played the game. The team did have its fun times. At the end of the season, the team's traditional party also proved enter- taining. At the party, the seniors all gave the juniors gag gifts, junior post Sarah Ford said. “I got a t-shirt with my name on it and it also said ‘I'm spectacular and ‘I m awesome be- cause | used to always joke around and say that | was the one who should be starting. ` But fun and humor wasnt always a part of the teams morale; they had to learn how to accept their losses. We learned that winning isn't ev- erything and how to be good losers, if that counts for anything, senior point guard Donna Kislingbury said. To keep losing was hard, so we learned how to be good sports. As the squad lost, they also im- proved. With a schedule including some of the state s top-rated teams, the competition was stiff. Even though we lost, we still played well together, and as a team, sophomore center Jennifer Kellen said. As a result from our tough schedule, we had improved a lot by the end of the season. The end of the season was the more successful part of the season. The team, came back from winter break and took off with two immedi- ate victories over Mason City and DM East and had a close game with DM Hoover at Hoover. “The break gave us a chance to start over,” junior guard Stacia Mad- sen said. 'We started off like it was a new season; this time we didn't have to start off with top-rated teams. ` On February 16, the season came to a close. And despite the statistical outcome of the season, the team still felt it was worth it.

No headlines screamed prom- ises of spectacular seasons. In- stead, the Little Cyclones quietly stepped out on the floor and silently built one of the best seasons boys basketball had seen in a long time. Because of little senior experi- ence, the Little Cyclones were pick- ed to finish fifth in the Metro Confer- ence by the Des Moines Register. They were also pinpointed to have a rebuilding season. Instead, the Little Cyclones had a season overflowing with high- lights. Ames beat DM North, 91-85, in a nailbiting game that went into overtime twice. They also beat rival WDM Valley twice, at home and away. But despite the many high- lights, the Little Cyclones cited clen- ching the Metro title and being rated number one in the Associated Press poll as outshining all the rest. “It felt good to finally get the recognition we felt we deserved. It showed everyone that Ames High could play basketball and it wasnt just a few good games put togeth- er, senior Mike Gabrielson said. ‘It showed that we could play with any- one in the state.” Unlike teams who fold under the pressure of being rated, the Lit- Boys' Varsity Basketball 18 wins, 3 losses AHS Opp 62-45 71-68 56-61 67-53 60-66 91-85 65-61 73-43 92-55 81-44 64-53 86-70 87-62 80-64 85-61 79-64 93-65 80-64 Opponent Marshalltown WDM Valley Fort Dodge DM Roosevelt DM Hoover DM North WDM Dowling Ankeny Boone DM East DM Lincoln WDM Valley DM Roosevelt DM Hoover DM North WDM Dowling DM East DM Lincoln Districts Webster City Ankeny Sub-State Waverly-Shell Rock 80-54 71-67 60-74 tle Cyclones kept their goals fo- cused and continued to play their own style of basketball, seemingly oblivious to the attention they were beginning to receive. Being successful didn't make us look past anybody. We went out to play our own game, although it did give us a lot of confidence, senior Monty Muller said. The Little Cyclones’ style of play was due to lack of height. Ames quickly adjusted and used it to their advantage though. We were a pretty short team which effected the style of game we played. We liked to run a lot. It also made us play tougher defense, se- nior Jeff Isaacson said. According to team members, tough defense and unselfish play were major contributors to Ames success. It wasn't uncommon for a close game to break open after a few short inbound steals converted to two points. We prided ourselves on our defense. One of our goals for every game was to hold the other team un- der their average scoring, and we usually did, Muller said. ‘If the oth- er team had an exceptional player we took great pride in stopping what that player could do. ` The opposition certainly had a tough time stopping AHS, especially at home where they were undefeat- ed. [he opposing team also had a Team unity, tough defense and high goals kept the varsity S tacking up vitlories tough time quieting the many fans who followed their team faithfully. We had about twice as many fans as everyone else did, even away. They were great,’ junior Gregg Garn said. When they start- ed getting really loud it got our adrenaline going, and we played a lot better. ` Despite their attempts at Mar- shalltown, the Little Cyclones ended their successful season in a loss at Sub-state against Waverly-Shell Rock. AHS started to come back in the second quarter from a large defi- cit but fell short, 74-60. According to team members, this was their only regret and would have liked to play the game over again. “In the first half against Wav- erly-Shell Rock we didn't play any- thing like we could have. A lot of it was nervousness; we weren t quite ready, junior Tom Joensen said. They stifled some of the things we had done all season long, and we didn t adjust quick enough. The season may have ended before the team would have liked, but Ames still came out winners. With an overall record of 18-3, the team had the best season since 1976 (who went 24-0, won the Metro Conference, ranked number one and won State). The Little Cyclones left a hard act to follow. EK.)

(Photo by Dan Ketelsen) Boys' Varsity Basketball Sports SS ae aa Te But Serious -Monty Muller The scene was an emo- tional one on the night of March 6. All our time and ef- fort, all those days of prac- tice seemed wasted. But then as Coach Clinton and Legg gave their post-game comments, | realized there was more to this season than wins and losses. During this time of pain and depression | realized not only the great strides we made, but also the com- radery that had formed be- tween all the members of the team. Along the course of the season we became more than teammates, we became close friends. After every game we would go for pizza and stay there til late hours of the night, talking, telling jokes and stories and learning more about each other. Af- ter the coaches talk we got together in our traditional break down — hands joi- ned high above our heads, then one word said in uni- son, “Team.” A poem by a poet on-the- brink, alias Coach Legg, best summarizes the mem- ories of this season, ones I will cherish forever. Memories Live Long and Never Die There is one thing that | wish to say, | hope you remember for more than today. Look around and see the team we ve got, With the little we ve given, we ve gotten a lot! And now that the season's over, forget the score, We may have lost the game, but have much more. We have each other deep inside, If we say we lost everything — then we have lied. | hope forever we remem- Der, The things we started in No- vember. Don't look where we didn t go, just see where we have Deen, And pray that other AHS teams will be strong again. All the games in the season are over, but not in our head, The replays of great memo- ries will live long and never be dead.4 -Stacia Madsen Quick starts and missing coun- terparts plagued the sophomore girls' basketball team. Working with the motto be active, the team took strides toward a successful season. The team began with a quick start and a close victory over Mar- shalltown, 49-44, and stormed by WDM Valley, 56-32. However, on December 10 they faced Fort Dodge who handed them a 35-42 loss. The season continued its up and down motion with big wins and big losses, including a 40 point victo- ry over DM North, 68-28, and a down-to-the wire rally in overtime against rival Valley, 53-52. It was a very emotional sea- son, sophomore guard Jennie Jones said. “We had winning and losing streaks and our team play was never consistent from game to game. Their new coach, Marvin Boull- lon, tried to help the team gain some consistency through his coaching. Bouillon generated the motto be active to motivate action from the squad. Along with encouragement from Bouillon, the five starters were helped by emotional support from the bench. They (the reserves) worked hard. They did alotfor the team even though they didn't realize it. They Supported us all the time and pushed the starters to become bet- ter, which made us a better team, sophomore guard Shay Grundmann said. Toward the end of the season, the sophomore team lost its starting center to the varsity team. Losing the services of Jennifer Kellen forced them to change their style of play. It was hard when she (Kellen) moved up. We weren't confident without her. We just kind of gave up,” sophomore point guard Chris- tie Hunt said. Despite losing confidence, the team finished their season with an 11-8 record. On the other hand, the Fresh- man A team ended its season with an opposite record, 8-11, and the B team finished with a record of 3-10. Along with the sophomore team, the freshmen had big wins, big losses and a new coach, Vickie Johns. She (Johns) wouldn't have a special play designed for one per- son. There was never any one per- son better than the other,” freshman point guard Bethany Muller said. C Coaches and competition made players By not putting any one person more important than another, Johns created a more relaxed attitude that served the team well. Practice wasn't stressed out. We took it easy and | think we played better because we didn't get worked up over little things. We were re- laxed,”’ freshman guard Sara Olber- ding said. Relaxed attitudes also helped the team work well together, as well as unify the players. Everyone on the team was friends. We all thought that we were equal, freshman forward Renee Ripp said. There was no pressure from the coach which really helped us play together as a team. Even though the freshman team's record was plagued with losses they credited their successes to a their positive attitude. We all went out to win. Al- though we didn't have a winning season we learned a lot and we had fun, and that's what it is all about,” freshman forward Tina Langston said. the start of the game, the sopho-‏ ہے more team huddles one last time to discuss‏ their strategy.

A variety of drills was incorpo- rated to get the players in shape. We ran separaters, did four corners, tip drills and scrimmaged each other every day, freshman forward Alex Garn said. In addition to the extra physical effort on the court, players had to think basketball off the court.

We'd hoped to place higher in the Metro, but we lost a few games early on because we were missing one of our regular starters. That hurt our hopes for a higher finish,” soph- omore center Rob Kain said. Not working as a team plagued the sophomore team early in the season but they made a strong fin- ish by winning 10 of their last 12 games. We had no real leadership so it took us a while to get together as a team but all the players learned to take responsibility through experi- ence, sophomore guard Jason Hansen said. The Freshman A squad ended a notch higher by grabbing second in the conference with a 12-5 record. The B team beat the .500 mark with a 10-7 finish. Both squads were sat- isfied with their performances at the season s end.

Because of their hard work, the sophomores got a reward halfway through their season. After we started winning most of our games, Coach Bachman only made us run during the drills and we didnt have to do additional condi- tioning, sophomore guard Mike Bergan said.

We did, however, find one form of entertainment. Every day before practice we would pull out two Nerf balls, pile on layers of sweats and play the forever infamous J-ball, commonly called the Eliminator. This game began in the gym on an early December morning. It started out as a giant game of elimination, but this soon became a bore. One day while | was sitting in the coach's office | noticed two Nerf balls in his desk. | grabbed the balls and J-ball in the wrestling room began. This game quickly became a pre-practice ritual and will always be remembered by the wrestlers. We would spend hours hurling the ball at one another while most of us lost at least two pounds Or SO. There were many careful- ly thought out rules in J- ball. 1) If you were hit, you had sit out until the person that hit you was hit. 2) For safety reasons we made a rule that the ball could not hit the ceiling. Many lights were demolished until we adopted this rule. 3) You could not run with the ball. You could only throw it. Each wrestler had his own strategy to win, some would team up, but no one would pass up the chance to back stab a friend. If twc people standing next to each other just happen to both have a ball one would turn to the other put their Nerf ball on the ground and tell the person, “If you don't hit me | won't hit you!” The person would then proceed to hit the other person in the back when he turned around. Isn't that just like a wrestler? Tim Randles and Bart Fowles were always the most wanted. Anyone hit by the Nerf balls became ridiculed and laughed at. These members mark the family feeling that we felt for each other.

Wrestling practices pushed that level of pain to the point of being al- most unbearable to assure a fit team. Our practices were the tough- est of all the sports. The coaches re- ally made us work so we could wres- tle our best, senior Adam Wagner said. The wrestlers rarely complain- ed abouttheir practices, though they had plenty of reasons to do so. “In practice we did warm-ups, reviewed moves and did PH condi- tioning. PH meant pure hell. We did 50 sit-ups, 50 push-ups, we ran halls, wall sprints and foot fires, and it was pure hell, sophomore Carl Forsling said.

Sometimes you could lose as much as four pounds just during a practice. And if that wasn't enough, relaxing in the sauna for half an hour would sweat off another pound or two, sophomore Bart Fowels said. Achieving the lowest weight was important, but the effects of weight loss were sometimes detri- mental. When you lose as much weight as quickly as wrestlers do, your blood sugar level goes way down. At first you got weak and shaky, but af- ter a few days you got used to it, freshman Dragus Lawson said. All the work came down to ex- cellence in just 12 JV and three freshman meets. And wrestlers thought coaches were to thank for wins. | really wasn't prepared at the Young talents worked weight off Keaping useless pounds beginning of the season. After a few weeks with the coaches help | final- ly knew what | was doing and could control my matches,’ freshman Nathan Pelzer said. The coaches weren't the only enforcers. Individuals took well to suggestions from their peers. When we found that certain wrestlers were not wrestling up to their potential, we (the coaches) talked to them personally, and then left it up to captains. Their own teammates could usually pull them into line,’ Assistant Coach Mike Hiddle said. Being young, inexperienced teams, the JV and freshmen had dif- ficulty pulling together in the begin- ning. They soon found that that old rule of the ‘Three Musketeers’ was one to wrestle by. We started the season as 13 individuals wrestling for ourselves,’ junior Brian Peter said. “At the end we were 13 individuals wrestling for the team. ` Å tter winning a tie-breaking match over WDM Valley, sophomore Bart Fowles re- ceives a hug from coach Kirk Schmaltz.

Although inexperience plagued the team, it only made them work that much harder to succeed. Some members even said this team had more dedication than ever before.

One of our initial fears was having to prance around in a scanty excuse for a swim- Suit. The football players had their pads, the basket- ball players had their jer- seys and yes, we had our Speedos. Pat recalls being SO scared to Duy a swimsuit that it took him two sepa- rate trips to The Sports Page to accomplish his mission. On the first day of swim practice, we were confron- ted with 30 new faces, and only three were familiar seniors. Little did we know that we were entering a closely-knit family. Of course, we were fortu- nate enough to join this closely knit family as elder parents and the freshmen and the sophomores were our little children who natu- rally needed a little disci- pline. Whenever a fresh- man left his towel out or generally ticked off a se- nior, he was forced to make a sacrifice to our freque ntly worshipped porcelin god. Once a particularly mouthy sophomore went home with a pinker than normal belly. Of course, these ‘disciplinary actions’ were few and far between and generally only love and good feelings flowed be- tween the members of the team. The practices were long and hard, but we ail shared in our pain (Some more than others). I'll never forget ‘the ever-smiling Paul Clau- sius, Tom Friedrich e dedi- cation and Boris Bach- mann's silent but strong leadership. As the months wore on, we saw improve- ments on times, sometimes in victory and sometimes in defeat. We were fortunate enough to host Districts, and we cheered Boris Bachmann, Brent Hill, Tim Johnson and Mark Robin- son on to State. Reflecting back on these months, | re- alize that | made 30 of the best friends that could be made. ہے ہے ہے س he P‏ ےک سز شرب ان ei‏ 0012928۵ | wo ہ‎ TT - cal ctt Ke ےہ‎ wg a Sy Cal Cr 4 D U — TESS omg kale? ke EC ded m EA T UE سض کین a r. ‏ Bam!

However, unlike the Dynamic Duo, the Ames High hockey team had problems fighting the powers of evil. Frustration was evident throughout the season and caused discouragement within the team. We had the talent, but we got started off on the wrong foot by los- ing the first five games, freshman goalie Chris Winkler said. ' Every- body wanted to hang up their skates and it got really discouraging after a while. Another factor for frustration was a temporary coaching staff. Halfway through the season, Head Coach Bruce Carman left the team and Assistant Coach Rusty Moore was left in charge. “Things were pretty unstable with our coaches, sophomore right wing Brody Linder said. “Rusty was closer to uS age-wise and we were friends with him before so we worked harder for him and really wanted to win for him. strong team leadership was -Carrie Stidwell Hockey 0 wins, 22 losses Opponent Sioux City WDM Valley Dowling 0-15 Loyola Tournament 5th Place Urbandale DM 3-5 WDM Valley Dowling Urbandale DM Mason City Columbus Sioux City Dubuque Sioux City Dubuque Columbus Urbandale DM Sioux City Waterloo Omaha Tournament AHS Opp Ne On WU TOP Y mete NE SPI de mM NIE uL RkERooolooooóso0o00 ard P a (D Urbandale DM Mason City WDM Valley Dowling Waterloo 1- 8th Place — قب‎ i — State Tournament Hockey Sports also a major part of establishing a team attitude and promoting hard work. “The spirit was always high to win but our problem was that every- body depended on someone else to win, sophomore defenseman Matt Lippman said.

However, during the middle of the season, notices were distributed to students from parent fans saying that student Support was appreciat- ed, but to clean up the language of the specially-designed cheers. After this was achieved, fan support still remained strong throughout the season. “The fans this year were awe- some!” senior goalie Brett Callison said. 'We got comments from other teams across the state on how great Our crowd was, even though our fans had been yelling stuff against them. It was motivating knowing that there were people backing us and it Despite discouragement and frustration, hockey players ged To succeed helped the losses come easier. Fans also played a minor share in the amount of fighting that oc- curred during a game. Fighting makes the game more exciting for the fans, junior defenseman Jason Berg said. “If you re losing the game, it doesn't re- ally matter if you get in a fight or not. Sometimes we started playing for the crowd, instead of concentrating on the game. The team played all of the eight lowa hockey teams at least twice during the season. They also trav- eled to Chicago and Omaha to play different teams in tournaments. Tournaments bring a new as- pect to our normal hockey schedule. It's a ‘killer’ type of a situation; more intense. We usually had a better atti- tude and had to go full strength, Callison said. Although their 0-22 record wasnt quite as dynamic as it could ve been, most teammembers found that attitude was the deciding factor of the season.

(Photo by Chuck Be- volo) O.K., so maybe we had a bad season. But consider- ing the environment our team lived in, it doesn t sur- prise me in the least. For starters, we were not even considered an actual team by our own class- mates once we were away from Ames. Students seemed to find more impor- tant things to do, such as removing ear wax, than to support the Ames High Hockey team at its 10 away games. It was very hard to concentrate on the game when the opposing fans were screaming that they wanted to kill our mothers. Being one of the few teams in the league that isn't school sponsored, we were also left out in the cold by the school administra- RE: tion, forced to survive on m our own. I think any athlete would agree that perform- p ing under the above condi- pim tions would be hard at best. um Outside of our regular ag league games, we traveled EU to Chicago and Omaha for کی‎ weekend tournaments. بت‎ Playing under an intense schedule of two games per | day, the spirit of the game FS was hard to keep alive at the end of the tournaments. | Aside from the cold show- Án ers, tiny locker rooms, lost Vs. water bottles, rude fans, S fast food and having to m sleep with obnoxious team- ds mates at night, we man- ee aged to pull away with a win ic at each tournament.

On the first day of practice, we all agreed to set goals, but we knew they couldnt be too high. The 1989 girls’ tennis season was supposed to be a rebuilding season for all of us. We knew that we d have a lot of good hard practices, but we werent counting on too many wins. As the season got under- way, we needed new goals. We beat WDM Valley and WDM Dowling in very close matches and that gave us a good chance of winning the Metro title. As the season went on, our practices got harder and we worked together more. We had to support each other and help each other out. When it was time for meets, we always tried to watch each other play. That was sometimes hard, because sometimes you had to give yourself a pep talk before meeting your opponent. Through all the serious talk and important meets, we never forgot to have fun. We never forgot that senior leadership was a very im- portant part of all sports; we had to take on the re- sponsibility of making prac- tice fun for everyone. The main reason for doing this was to make the freshmen more comfortable, of course. After the fun was over, we practiced hard so we could be the best we could be. Although tennis is an in- dividual sport, we were all in it together. We lost to- gether and we won togeth- er. When the season was coming to an end, we re- membered all the doubts we had at the beginning of the season. We were all out to have fun — no serious commitments were in- volved. Then somehow we managed to win nine meets (our goal at the beginning of the season was to win sev- en); we won the Metro and placed third at Sectionals (although we thought we'd do better, we werent too disappointed). Seeing all this, there sno way one can say that 1989 was a rebuild- ing year.

There wasn't 3 lot of experience on the team, so the whole team had to work together. It took a lot of team effort to bring together our team. None of us was more experienced than others, SO it wasn t one person who lost or won; it was all of us, junior Judy Pang said. Despite the lack of experience and optimism, the team set goals to play the best they could and have a rewarding season. We didnt expect to have a winning season. We were deter- mined to play our best and by the end of the season be ranked some- where in the middle of the Metro, senior Sindy Pang said.

When the season began, the team won its first five meets, includ- ing meets against WDM Valley and WDM Dowling. After these impor- tant and unexpected wins, the team's doubts were beginning to fade and new team goals were set. When we beat Valley and Dowling 6-5, we got really motivat- ed. We were determined to win the Metro title, and we didn't want to share it like we had in the past, ju- nior Heidi Shierholz said. Winning the Metro title was the season's highlight. Ames had only one loss in the Metro, which was one less than all the other confer- ence teams. [hat allowed Ames to be the sole winner of the title. As Sectionals rolled around, the team was optimistic. But a few unex- pected losses made them settle for third pla ce. “A third place finish was kind of disappointing because we thought we could do better. We had come a long way though, so it wasn't like we hadn't accomplished anything,” Shierholz said. Through the wins and the losses the team was like a family.

Little traditions helped the team become closer. Like families who do certain things on certain occasions, the tennis team did things together to help them have a family-like atmo- sphere. After each meet we always went to the same McDonald's, sat in the same spot and ordered the same food. It was really fun and it brought us closer together, Dobbs said. Although there were some dis- appointments, the season ended with a lot of accomplishments that the team never thought possible. Beating WDM Valley and WDM Dowling and having big wins over DM East, DM Hoover and DM North helped the team earn a 9-3 winning record.

The boys tennis team had a reputation for being tough, and this year s team could be described as even more relentless. We have a highly experienced team this year. We were all really used to the whole team and how ev- eryone played. If there was a year to win State, this was it, sophomore Bob Black said. A few inexperienced teams were no competition for Ames. This allowed JV to play doubles against DM North. They won 11-0. Eight of last year's varsity players returned and a new student, sophomore Tod Berkey, joined the team.

Hoover beat Roosevelt and we hope to beat both Hoover and Roos- evelt, Berkey said. Against these rivals, the team fought hard. They beat Roosevelt, 8- 3. Roosevelt was our biggest win. It was our grudge match from last year, so we were really glad to win, Black said. But Ames lost to Hoover with a close score of 6-5. They were up 5- 2 and lost the rest of the doubles matches. The team ended with a re- cord of 10-1 and placed second in the Metro conference, behind Hoo- ver. We had three doubles out on the court and we all figured every- one would win.

In the first round Ames lost 3-8 to Du- buque Wahlert, the team that even- tually took State. This allowed Ames to place either third or fourth. In the second round they beat Hoover, 6-5.

GO a N Ow Q But Seriously -Jeff Isaacson Tennis has never gotten very much publicity, so con- sequently the coach hasn't either. Mr Hilmer has a very impressive record. Three years ago when he took over as the tennis coach, the team won Districts and made it to the second round of Sub-State. The following three years he took the team one step further to the final four (State) in team tennis. If that doesn't war- rant some recognition, then | don't know what does.

The tennis season isnt long enough to change many things in a person's game. The place where Mr. Hilmer has his impact is in making sure the players are physically ready for the meets and especially men- tally ready during the matches. As the coach, you must be able to tell a kid the right things that can help him pull through in a close match. In the team tennis state meet, Mr. Hilmer helped coach a player during a Cru- cial argument. It was the third set and the player's opponent had obviously screwed up the score be- cause he was deaf (and a freshman, | might add). Coach pulled through for the player by giving him the confidence to stick by his guns. The tennis coach has of- ten been regarded as a bab- ysitter.

After starting off well in the in- door season we were ready to move outside. We started off a little slow, not doing as well as we would have liked. Then we went up against some more challenging teams and we got more psyched and ran a lot better, Schnieder said. The team started with a win against Mason City at home, but a week later traveled to Mason City and lost by one point to rival Mar- shalltown. The loss didnt slow Ames, who came back even stron- ger at the Little Cyclone Invitational.

Boys' Track Sports Dedication and desire to win -Heather Jesse The season started with great hopes and expectations. Could the 1989 boys’ track team seize the state title for the fourth consecutive year? It was a tall order, but they had dedication and desire which fueled them with the internal energy need- ed to maintain the tradition. It was this uniting force that made the dif- ference. In order to keep the winning tra- dition alive, the team began the sea- son with high goals: to remain unde- feated, win the Metro Conference ti- tle and repeat as state champions. Although the whole season seemed geared toward State, they had to ap- proach each meet with the same in- tensity. Each meet is a stepping stone or a building block leading up to the ultimate, the state championship, Head Coach John Sletten said. The state championship had long been in the history of the Ames High boys’ track team. Ames had 16 state championships. This was the most in the state of lowa. Along with the incentive to uphold this record, the talent and depth of the team gave them the power to succeed.

But the team didn t always per- form their best and sometimes found themselves slipping into mod- eration. They often fell behind at the beginning of the meets, like at the Bobcat Invitational when it came down to the last race. But the 4 X 400 team worked together to gain the needed points. It was this everlas- ting energy and pride that made the Little Cyclones different from all the other teams. We don t screw off as much as other teams. While the people on other teams can't wait for the meet to be over, we can't wait for the next running event, sophomore John Barnett said. Another thing that made Ames different was their dedication. Even though they hated the repetition of the warm-ups and drills, the hard workouts and the pressure, they took it seriously. Other teams don't have near the discipline that we do. We actually do our workouts, junior Chris Nel- son said.

Unlike other sports, such as football, you get a chance to receive more personal recognition, sophomore Jesse Pease said. But as the state meet ap- proached, individuals began to think more as a team. Team members were willing to give up their individ- ual glory in order to achieve the fourth consecutive state champion- ship for the whole team. “At first | felt a lot a pressure be- cause | could ruin the tradition for the team if | jumped the gun,” senior Mike Gabrielson said. “After we won | was relieved that we kept the String of victories and state cham- pionships alive.” The team also kept their other goals alive.

A Boys’ Track Sports —— -— —-— ee em mm : i KL 0 A ES, (Ge ocean -Marty Johnson At the end of our suc- cessful 1988 season, Larry, the lucky golf ball, was passed down to the juniors to continue our winning tra- dition in 1989. Larry used his magical powers to lead us to our third consecutive Metro title and state meet. Although we took slaughtering the opposition very seriously, if someone saw us out of competition, they would not believe that we were an un- defeated varsity golf team. This awesome team was composed of five super- stud golfers and a studly coach. Starting from the rear was Chantel Rout Jor- dan, who received her name after the Ottumwa In- vitational when she whined on the way home as we drove through a severe thunderstorm. Janet “Bad Attitude” Rorholm earned her name over the past four years from her pessimistic atti- tude. After being hit by sev- eral balls, Janet not only disliked the game, but also had a fear of golf balls. Janea “Spot” Carter in- herited her name. With her parents’ names being Dick and Jane and the family not having a dog, Janea was pegged with Spot. Marty “Fidgety” John- son got her name from roadtrips. Marty hated rid- ing for a long time and couldnt keep still. To amuse herself, she found new seating arrangements and muttered to anyone who cared to listen. She never shut up! Reaching the front was Paige You suck” Hoefle, who honestly believed that golf balls listened to her. Several greens away, one could hear her scream ‘Sit, bite, break, stop! OK then, off the green! You suck! But we must not forget Coach Heiberger. No one will forgive him for his faulty addition when we almost lost a meet. We stood around in disbelief, imagin- ing the headlines until someone caught the mis- take.

As you ap- proach home plate you dust off your cleats, take a few practice swings and check the coach's signal. It's the bottom of the ninth, bases load- ed, two outs and you're up. You get ready for the pitch. The pitcher winds up and releases the ball. The ball is whirling at you and you swing hard. The sound of your bat and the ball connecting fills your ears. SLAM! It's gone, home run. For many this is just a dream, but for members of the 1989 boys baseball team this was something of a reality. The Little Cyclones belted out a 28-12 season record. They finished 13-8 in the Metro Conference, plac- ing third behind WDM Dowling and DM Hoover. The team also headed to the state tournament, beating both Marshalltown and Boone in District action before falling short to Fort Dodge at Sub-State, 3-4. But thatloss shouldn t overshadow their accomplishments. The '89 team chalked up Ames High's all-time highest team batting average of .349.

The Little Cyclones also en- tered the record books for slamming the second most home runs with 37. That number is second only to the 1987 team who belted out 56. The home run gave AHS the confidence they needed when they found themselves down on the scoreboard. We always knew we could come back and hit the long ball in the late innings. With just one hit, we could come back and win the game, senior Mike Gabrielson said. The Little Cyclones also had an abundance of pitchers. Throughout the season, Head Coach Phil John- son used 14 different pitchers. |think having so many pitchers effected us in a positive way, Mul- ler said. “They all could pitch, and they all could pitch well ` Unlike the baseball team, the girls softball team had only two pitchers and the long ball was rarely seen. The season consisted of low- scoring games and long innings. In one doubleheader against WDM Dowling Ames lost the first game 10- 0. Then the Maroons and the Cyclones battled out the second game in an Ames High record-long game of 16 innings before Dowling handed the weary Cyclones another loss, 1-0. Softball.

To football and base- ball players, it's a fall and summertime activity for guys who arent good at any other sport. To a cer- tain Ames High track coach, it's a sport for non- athletes. To the girls at WDM Valley, (the kind of girls soccer players pray for nightly), soccer is a sport played by strapping young studs with bronzed bodies and rippling biceps. To an AHS soccer player, soccer means bruised shins, pul- led muscles, lots of sweat and North High Bruce-Lee want-to-be s' sticking their cleats in your face and ask- ing you if you want to fight. This year s varsity soccer team was a young and struggling team. With only five seniors trying out and two still on the team, the younger team members didn't have much in the way of upper-classmen leader- ship. Many of the younger team members looked to other sources for role mo- dels, evidence being the Metallica t-shirts worn to practice and the team motto kill em all. Our season officially started on May 1. Practices consisted of a 45-minute lecture from the coach, half an hour of drills and a half an hour of scrimmaging. Conditioning was eliminat- ed from the program and we all felt the effects. None of us knew why our new coach ignored this, per- haps he felt that discipline would replace separators and push-ups. Although our outlook for the year seemed bleak, with a 1-4 record to date, we were all pushing hard and had the motivation and the attitude to win. Even if we didn t win any more games, at least we tied last year's (1-14) record. And to the team mem- bers: I'M TELLING YOU MAN, IF YOU SHOOT 300 TIMES AND ONLY THREE SHOTS GO IN, WE'LL SIILL HAVE STORIES TO TELL OUR KIDS.

C The soccer team started its sea- son with a different look. Part of that look was a new coach, Ghazi Hal- loum. With the new coach came a better attitude and a different ap- proach to the game. Ghazi has a different system than the other Metro coaches, ju- nior Doug Bock said. “He has a se- ries of of strategies. The plays are complex, but he does a good job teaching it. He has a different ap- proach than coaches in the past. He leaves more up to players. We work on conditioning and other skills on our own. ` The different approach and methods used by Coach Halloum were taught during practice. We do a little conditioning dur- ing practice. We work on skill devel- opment, discuss the game we have the night before and we discuss good things and bad things about the game and how to improve on them, junior Kirk Foote said.

With each game and practice the team got better. Along with the coaches, the players tried to help each other whenever possible. Players helped each other to help strengthen the team. “The most important thing for any team is that players like each other, Bernard said. “If someone is doing something wrong, someone will point it out and tell the person how to improve on it.” strength also came from the two seniors on the team.

It was quite a change from last year, Coach Halloum said, speak- ing of the previous year s record of 1-14. You could say it was a dra- matic change. Our new strategy, along with their will-to-win determi- nation to have a winning season was the key. They struggled at the begin- ning of the season, but in the final part things started clicking. Before the season had even be- gun the team set goals, not only to improve, but also to score a victory over the always tough WDM Valley. By the end of the season all goals had been reached.

Athletes in all sports had the privilege of riding in either the green school station wagon, a yellow Bertha , or the sleek silver-black chartered coach. But all of them were bus- es in one form or another and each ride was a little different from the last. We (the track team) had to ride the yellow 'Bertha' bus be- cause the team was so large. It was always loud and bumpy, ` senior Dave Sedgwick said.

Our basketball coach started to ride down in his car because the buses got so cold, senior Brian Hansen said. For the girls’ basketball team, a bus trip often meant a plate of goodies. Ms. Buck, the team statisti- cian, would bake us cherry chip cookies for our bus ride if we won the game before, junior Deb Forssman said. The secure feeling of riding with an experienced driver was another advantage of a bus ride, most of the time. '' always felt safe until our bus got pulled over for speeding going to the cross-country dis- trict meet, Sedgwick said. We were going 78 m.p.h. in a 55 m.p.h. zone.

Ames didn't get the Good Sportsmanship Award but that didn t bother many fans as they continued their antics at the games. “They're great! They've got so much spirit.

But some people not only thought of the time they had now, but of the future and hav- ing a career in a related field. “I'm thinking of a career in athletic training because there is Such a demand for them and they are paid more,’ sopho- more trainer Colleen Berg said. Other managers didn't have any extra-curricular things to do and this was a way for them to fill that empty space. Another thing to do at games was watching the new outfits as they went by. Hats were the 'in thing with orange hunting caps, Gumby heads and of all things, pumpkins. “| was watching a Monday night football game and | saw some guys with watermelons on their heads. Watermelons would have been wet and gnarly but pumpkins were in season and the right color, senior Bryan Schabel said. “They were kind of cold and slimy but it was worth it.” Whether wearing a pumpkin, carrying a pom-pon or just stomping their feet, AHS fans loved their teams. But for all the time spent man- agers and trainers didn't get much notoriety, but they didn't expect any.

Perfection played a big part - in the lives of students who Participated in sports, played instruments or had hobbies. Perfection often meant the fine line between playing on Varsity and sitting on the bench. “When | play basketball or run in track, | always want it to be perfect. l'm never really | happy with myself because | always think | can do better, freshman Jenny Remsberg Said. Students who participated in competitions often felt that they had to be perfectionists. The motto practice makes per- fect’ could have made the differ- ence between coming in first or last place. “Fm constantly practicing my piano, but | have to because in competition everyone has to be perfect, sophomore Angie Kim said. Perfection may have helped students succeed, but it often was not easily reached. Some- times students had to accept disappointment. | try to be perfect in every- thing | do, especially my music and homework,’ sophomore George Appelquist said. It's disappointing sometimes, but | like to know that | tried to make it as perfect as | could. For most students, perfection was something desirable, but not necessarily the answer to happiness. Instead, many were satisfied by simply doing the best that they could. | strive to work as hard as possible in school, but as long as | manage to keep my head above water I'm fine, junior Tenaya Darlington said. “I just complain a lot and make people think I'm under heavy suffer- ing!” Although many students at- tempted to perfect the things they did, not everyone under- stood why they bothered. | really don't see the reason behind it all, freshman Derrek ۲ E: E 4 O'Riley said. Why would some- one spend all their time and ef- fort trying to attain something that's impossible? Et | m an extreme perfectionist, I'm never satisfied even if | get all A's.

The fans are pum- fed up and ready to party. So hat's a high schooler to do? 30 to the post-game party in the safeteria, of course. - So you pay $2 and trot down he front stairs to a crowded, Weaty, Steamy lunchroom. ۷۲۲۷ do high-schoolers want to Jo? There's no other place you san go to just dance. In a town ike Ames there's nothing else to Jo, junior Heidi Shierholz said. Some students found other sasons to go to the parties.

Although school parties were popular year-round, some had higher attendance than others. | went to the one before school started just to see what the parties would be like. | went to Mistletoe because ۱ heard it was the best party of the year,” freshman Juli Nordyke said. Other students used school parties as an excuse to stay out later. My parents usually want me home by midnight, but | can stay out later if they know Im at the school, sophomore Chris Hampson said. One negative side to the par- ties was the music. A small group of parents objected to some of the songs being played. Sophomore Jolyn Brakke thought the parties were fun un- til the proposed censorship changed her thinking. It's stupid because we listen to that kind of music anyway. Why can t we listen to it at par- ties? she said. So whatever the reason, school parties were a place to go to see your old friends and make some new ones. ۱۷ were also a place to cut loose. “I go. | dance. | get down. | get funky. | leave, senior Chad Bouton said. Jance until midnight J ammin’ to the beat at an after-game party are seniors Melanie Stover and Pam Westvold. The parties were a place to cut loose after a hard week.

Through sleeping, working or observing others, students in restricted studyhall (RSH) tried to make interesting use of every minute. If | get restricted, it's some- thing good because I'll get my homework done. Otherwise | just sit in the library and talk, junior Becky Huehn said.

The last 10 minutes | usually crash, junior Chad Smith said. Observing others in restricted also passed time. | like to watch the people who have in-school suspension fill their army jackets up with Juniors People food and pop. They just sit back there and eat, listen to their mu- sic and sleep all day,’ junior Darice Brinkman said.

People do worse things and don't even get re- stricted. | never get in trouble for anything but tardies, senior Susan Frank said. Many disagreed with the school's discipline system and believed it could be dealt with differently. A lot of times | just sleep be- cause | don't have any home- work to do. | think that restricted is a waste of everybody s time. | don't like their (the school's) policy. If you're tardy to class they shouldn't make you sit in a e restricted hour room for hours,” senior Ashraf Gabal said. But junior Jamie Hanson en- joyed restricted studyhall and agreed with the school’s sys- tem. | love it. | can sleep. | dont think the school could do any- thing else (to discipline), Han- son said. Restricted could be what you wanted it to be. To some it wa a time to do homework whel they normally would talk in the media center, but for others I was a waste of time.

Before making specific deci- sions about the dance plans, the members formed committees for fund raising to pay for the ex- penses. By sponsoring an all- school party and selling holiday wreaths, greenery and frozen yogurt from “I Can't Believe It's Yogurt, the girls raised enough money to cover the entire dance without the aid of school funds. We took charge of fund rais- ing activities in order to provide money for putting together a successful Winter Formal, se- nior Kim Konechne said. “It (180) Seniors People gave us the opportunity to work as a team towards a common goal. While working together as a team to raise the money, they brainstormed for ideas for the dance. Thinking of ideas for a theme, decorations and party favors allowed everyone to offer creative suggestions for the Winter Formal. We all worked on things to- gether. No one put down any- one else's ideas, and we got to see those ideas develop, se- nior Jenni Thiede said. Developing their ideas as well as valuable friendships between members taught the girls the im- portance of cooperation. By making use of good leadership and organizational skills, the se- nior girls worked together with- out the aid of an adult supervi- sor. Without an adviser the dance was actually made up of the stu- dents' ideas. There was no fac- ulty influencing our ideas,’ se- nior Susan Owen said. “It was the students' party, not the fac- ulty party. In organizing the Winter For- mal, committees for decora- They did it their way tions, food, gifts, invitations, music and photography were formed. Each committee was re- sponsible for reporting their ac- tivities and decisions to the en- tire club at the Friday morning meetings. Among the committees we delegated responsibilities and chose a chairperson,’ senior Kim Koch said. Then, in the committees we made decisions together.” After months of cooperation and working together to orga- nize the Winter Formal, the girls celebrated the success of the dance together amidst the greer pine trees and sparkling white snowflakes.

The fringe benefits of these spare moments allowed seniors some llowed to leave time when they didn't have to get serious.

Students were pursued by one other kind of recruiter. The armed forces sent representa- tives to the school on a regular basis to talk with students. The Marine rep was very convincing and charismatic. He gave me the ‘yankee-doodle’ patriotic bit and really made me want to enlist,’ senior Paul Flu- grad said.

To get kids involved we play games like the Lottery and Jeopardy in Spanish. It seems to be effective, or they fake it real well, Spanish teacher Sue Lawler said. Also to keep their day inter- esting, many teachers got to know students one-to-one. “It's exciting when you get to meet with a student individually.

Some planned to teach but had to find another way to make money before they landed a teaching job. French teacher Toni Wood- man ran a machine that stuffed junk mail.

Dorr also worked as a type- setter. And being involved in journalism was something he and counselor Bud Legg had in common. It was a job that really didn't seem like work, Legg said. For me, the most important part was to stress the positive because you can find the bad anytime. ` This translated into later try- ing to turn the negative parts of a student's life into something good. Teaching may not have been their original intention, but most decided that teaching was bet- ter than other jobs they could ore than met the eye hold. And for students, discovering that their teachers had lives out- side of correcting tests or listen- ing to their problems was as much of a shock as getting a vis- it from Mr. Snuffelupagus. Practice makes perfect for social Studies teacher Tom Jorgensen. To make extra money, he's played at wed- dings and parties for over 25 years.

Getting Serious! Spirit Volume 77 was produced after hundreds of hours of work by a 29- member staff at Ames High School in Ames, lowa. Spirit was printed by Wals- worth Publishing Company in Marceline, Missouri. The multi-million dollar account was serviced by company executive Donald Trump. (Just checking to see if you're paying attention). Actually it was serviced by company representative Verna Stur- tevant and customer service representative Carmen Thomas. The theme, “GET SERIOUS! was created by the editors at a hot and stressful Ball State journalism camp in July of 1988. Get serious is a common saying for yeah, right, and it gives a fun message to the book. Another connotation is = ` that students took a variety of things seriously, ranging from sports to studies, ex- “= celling in many. It relates to all aspects of Ames High, both serious and not-so-seri- ous. The cover and endsheets were designed by design editor, ads design editor | and artistic genius Sarah Post (Confucius say pg. 7)! The “GET” is printed 72 point Helvetica in silver foil, with the triangle background 100 percent Flag Blue (Tempo l 305), the circle 100 percent Cerise (Tempo 600) and the horizontal lines Spring Green (Tempo 403). Geometric shapes spell out “SERIOUS” using Cerise (Tempo 600) and Flag Blue (Tempo 305) as applied color. The entire cover is on a 70 percent black screen. Sarah also designed some spiffy sweatshirts which the staff pur- chased and made everyone in the school jealous because they were so cool. f The 256 pages were printed on gloss double-coated enamel 80-pound paper. 1 Body copy is 10 point Helvetica, captions are 8 point Helvetica with an 18 point 1 raised initial overburned on a 30 percent black rectangle, and bylines are 8 point Helvetica Bold. Headlines and other copy are set in Helvetica, Helvetica Bold, Pala- k tino, Jefferson and Avant Garde. ! The folios, parts of the cover, artwork and index letters were submitted as cam- Zo ZC? ear ret eee enfin rn epg ب‎ if? oo - ` era-ready art using black and color screens. Screens are done in 10, 20, 30, 50, 70 and 100 percent black and process color. The geometric shapes in the Table of Contents are repeated in their respective sections as shapes in headlines. Each section has two mini-feature spreads. Columnar layout is used throughout the book, as well as the trendy plus-column effect in the Student Life and Sports sections, the opening spreads and the dividers. In the Student Life section, “You Can't be Serious!, all headlines are 72 point Avant Garde Bold with a capital letter overburning a 50 percent Flag Blue (Tempo 306), Cerise (Tempo 600), Spring Green (Tempo 403), or 30 percent black rectangle and have an 18 point Avant Garde subhead. The Classes and Clubs section, “This is Serious Stuff, has 60 point Palatino headlines, with a capital letter overburning either a 30 percent black square or a 50 percent Flag Blue (Tempo 306) square. A double-decked 18 point Palatino headline follows. The Sports section, “Get a Move on it,” has 72 point Jefferson headlines with a 98 point Jefferson raised initial overburning a 30 percent black or 50 percent Cerise (Tempo 600) triangle and has 18 point Helvetica kickers. Scoreboards and team photos are enclosed by a 30 per- cent black shadow box. The People section, But Seriously Folks,” consists of 60 point Helvetica headlines overburning a 20 percent black screen box. Getting Down to Business, the Ads section, uses freeform layout. The Index, ‘Get a Clue,” | uses camera-ready artwork and black screens. Five insane staff members attended summer journalism camps at lowa State and Ball State to prepare themselves for the challenge of creating a yearbook. The staff also attended the lowa High School Press Association (IHSPA) state confer- ence in Ames (it was a long drive). The 1988 “Spirit” received second-place sweepstakes honors in the IHSPA fall yearbook contest. It also received a Medalist Certificate in the Columbia Scho- lastic Press Association competition and an All-American rating in the National Scholastic Press Association competition, much to rookie adviser Kendi Neff's de- light.
