The girls gawd a sense of sportsmanshp this year Ms crack wide open QgQin At times, nutty people find that they have to let themselves go loose Sometimes you feel like a nut. What a philosophy! But you knew it was true. It happened to everyone. It didn't matter where you were-at school, home, or outon the town-you saw it in everyone. Friends, teachers, family-they all had it. There were situations that you thought you'd never get into, but somehow, some way, you found yourself in them. You dressed up as an elf and went caroling through the halls; you tripped up the stairs in front of the guy you were trying to impress; you did Chinese fire drills at the intersection of Rt. 20 and West Avenue; during the variety show, you performed a native Kenyan dance and carried upside-down cue cards across the stage. You'd never have made it without all those nutty times. They eased the tension building inside you and helped to take your mind off the realities of the school year. You found that in order to survive, it was necessary that sometimes you act like a nut. Introduction 3 attempt to Stirling the year off right, cheerleaders try to instil school spint into fans at the footbal games. They often found themselves with hoarse vexes and tired bodies succeed Now and then, even the biggest nuts had to get serious to get ahead But then again, sometimes you didn't or couldn't feel like a nut. There were homework assignments, test scores that were vital to your grades, or that game that you just had to win no matter how much effort was involved. You possessed that desire to win, to accomplish something; and you knew you couldn't succeed if you acted like a nut. You had so many pressures laid on you that acting like a nut just wouldn't work. Friends needed you for your companionship, teammates and club members depended upon your actions, and you had your parents to satisfy. The attainments you so steadily strove for didn't come easily. You knew you had your goals,your desires and your ambitions; and you knew you were in for some serious, hard work. In order to achieve, you realized you couldn't feel like a nut. 4 Introduction First thing Monday morning, senior Shaun Baker 6 seen organizing his locker for the new week The thing seniors looked forward to this year was the luxury of senior lockers Introducing herself to Mr. luce, freshman Nicole Meale asks for assistance Freshmen often found themselves lost and in need of drection during the first week of school Introduction 5 T.i� V v Shoveling that scrumptious cafeteria food into his always open mouth is Rob George Al eyes were usually on Rob snce he was often seen using two hands during his Z lunch period 1 - Nothing like a tnp to the beach to enjoy the weather But is the weather enjoyable?

How many millions of times did you hear that during the year? “Make the most of them because they go by so fast. Another statement you heard every day. So now, after all this brain washing, what in the world did they expect you to do? Co straight to school, study all day, and come straight home? Be serious! They had the right idea. Enjoy high school days! They went by so fast. You had to make the most of them. So you made the most of every single day! Every thing in your life was now a party! You became a party nut! And you definitely learned to live. You got your friends together, and you brainwashed them, too. Until finally almost everyone learned to enjoy the school day from beginning to end. No more after school naps! No more 8:30 bedtimes! No more 5:30 supper hours! You refused! You were a party nut now! You found that there was more to life than 6Vi hours of books. You discovered student life! lively and arithmetic. Student Life Divider 7 Homecoming it a special lime of year for couples like Alan Topper and Danette Dhanens. The Homecommg at Kent and the Prom at Mt Carmel gave the student body time to celebrate Life - varied and fulfilled Student’s life is evolved around work with spare time used to its fullest our life varied tremendously, depending on what Y type of person you were and what priorities 1 you had. Your life evolved mainly around school, either academically, physically, or socially. You spent day after day and night after night studying, writing, rewriting, reading, and whatever else you had to do to get the grades you desired. Or you were so dedicated to your sport that you gave up many hours a week to develop and perfect skills through vigorous practices or clubs essential to your life. Clubs offered you oodles of activities to become involved in. Often a job took up a large part of your time. You were often times seen wandering through school the next day weary and drowsy from the late-night hours the boss had scheduled you for. But the money more than made up for it. Asking your parents for money to put gas into the car, to eat out, or to go to a game was no longer a problem. You were independent, and you lived a full student life. 8 Student Life Divider f like a lot of students, Fred Frye had a car which played a big role in ho ife Cars were more than just transportation to students - they were a statement about their personality A big part of Jenny Barnett's life is singing, as she does here in the variety show Students balanced their everyday academic lives by involving themselves in special activities Student life could be wild, as Roy Powell and T.C Carleton prove by flashing the student body Our students lived active Sves and could always be counted on to do the unexpected. Summer is a time for work, fun, and education loo soon Sitting on the sand watching the sunset over the lake, taking a hand-in-hand moonlit stroll down the beach, relaxing with a summer love-that’s how some of us spent part of our summer. As September approached, some had to let go of that certain someone who had stolen our heart. Others had to say goodbye to relatives or friends leaving for college or the service. Tears were shed and life-long pen pals were made. But for some, the time was used working on a special project or hobby. Freshman Joanna Kemmer spent some of her summer raising a rabbit project for 4-H and then showing at the fair. I enjoyed being in 4-H and showing at the fair. It was not only fun, but I also learned a lot that I never even knew, by raising and showing rabbits or just listening to the 4-H adviser. A love of sports was shown by many of us who sat glued to the television watching the Summer Olympics, loyce Mallory, one of the many spectators, stated, never really got into the Olympics before, but the events I did see this year I really found interesting. While watching the American team, we imagined ourselves as participants, dreaming about the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat. As we watched each winner accept a medal and cry in happiness when the Star-Spangled Banner was played, we experienced the joy of each. Band members, football players, wrestlers, cheerleaders, and majorettes went to camp to better themselves. Senior band member Kim Hakkarainen felt This year's band camp was very helpful to the band in all aspects. Whatever our interests, vacation sped by quickly, and too soon the summer of '84 was only a memory Spending a day at the beach, Tammy Andes and In a pensive mood, freshman Ion Mier thinks Teresa Pizzi enjoy the water The beach was the about her summer love Even though the romance most popular social spot durng the summer for is over.

The reason for the early arrival was that the game was the last home game on a Friday night before November. The Panthers met the Geneva Eagles and fortunately left with a winning score of 27-13 over the Eagles During the pre-game ceremonies, Mr Walters presented the twelve candidates for Homecoming Queen and their parents. The candidates, escorted by members of the football team, were Tammy Andes (Tom Carleton), Missy Davis ()oe Bartone), Darla Fish (Tim Campbell), Liz Laird (Darin DeRosa), Lauri Pal (Doug Wetherholt), Gail Perkins (Chuck Westlake), Teresa Pizzi (Roy Powell), Terri Rohm (Marcel Fleming), Regina Rooks (larrod Bunch), Dawn Snyder (Rob George). Dana Story (Shaun Baker), and Patricia Wambui (Stacey Jones). As the suspense built up, Mr. Walters announced the 1984 Homecoming Queen as Ms. Darla Fish. The crowd roared as last year's queen Laurie Allcock placed the crown on Darla's head, and dozens of flash cubes went off. The night after the victorious football game was the traditional Homecoming dance held at Kent State Commons from 9:00 P.M. to 12:00 A M Student Council provided the beautiful decorations including a sunset wall mural and the refreshments for the event. Highlighting the evening was a dance held for the queen and her court. Ms. Cindy Warren was in charge of the Homecoming dance. Working with her were Student Council officers Tammy Andes, Joe Savarise, Dawn Snyder and Teresa Pizzi. The lint si girt of I Ik Homecoming court pose Front row: Dawn Snyder.

There were people stuck in the snow; people who fell off lifts; and numerous collisions which caused a lot of bruises and sore bones. This group was organized by Mr Billy, who had skied for twenty years and had advised ski club for thirteen. Some of the people went up just because they liked skiing. Some were daring and went up just to learn and have fun, but first-time ski- er Joe Savarise said, What drove me to the slopes was the large number of full-figured blondes on skis. Joe was unfortunate not to, literally, run into any of these girls while skiing, but did find a couple of trees and a snow bank. The course they skied on was called Peek 'n Peak in New York State, and the price the club paid for eight weeks was very reasonable. As Tim Clancy noted, You couldn't beat the price, and we all had a lot of fun skiing as a group Needing tome help up from the hard ground is sophomore Deena Doyle Deena often found her self in this position because of her Mile skirtg experience and tough his Senior skier, Teresa Puri grubs on her favorite food. Dohtos The skiers were often hungry after skung and falmg down so they were always eating snacks to gam back energy Skiing 15 Assemblies often change our everyday schedules A Brief How many people were there who didn't want to get out of class for an assembly? If you were like most people, an assembly gave you one more day to write an English paper or the chemistry lab one more day to live. For most of us, assemblies were a welcome reprieve from an ordinary day. The most popular ones were pep assemblies. They were organized by the cheerleaders, who worked hard to maintain enthusiastic half-hours, and to promote school spirit for that weekend's game. The pep assembly we enjoyed most was Homecoming During this, all the members of the Homecoming Court were introduced with their escorts, and the football team was psyched up for that all-important game. Two annual assemblies were the AFS assemblies, held in the auditorium. In the fall, the foreign exchange student, Patricia Wambui, made a brief speech upon arriving at our school. At the spring assembly, she delivered a farewell speech to the student body. On November 8, the Student Council presented a musical assembly during the second period. The name of the group was Freedom Jam,” and they travelled here from St. Petersburg. Florida. Their program traced the musical history of our country from Colonial times to the present Using music and excellent organized comedy skits, they presented a show that was surely enjoyable to all who attended Leading a cheer during a pep assembly are the varsity cheerleaders The cheerleaders worked hard to organize the assembles, and we had tun raivng school spirit. 16 Assemblies Two members of the band “Freedom Jam perform for the school. They were from St. Petersburg. Florida, and the free assembly was presented by the Student Council. Performing a funny skit about the history of our country is the lead singer for the band “Freedom lam. The assembly was one of many we enjoyed during the school year. With winner of the Senior Women's Halloween costume contest for the most original outfit is Lori Haytcher The costumes were judged in a special assembly during sixth period. Trying desperately to find his assigned seal m the auditornan is Rob George The subject of assigned seats for assembles was a very controversial one for the student body Assemblies 17 The cafeteria has plenty of room tor study hal. as seen by the empty chairs Seventh period the cafeteria seemed deserted after the lunch crowds Shown here laughing, senior Chris Siekkinen talks with friends at lunch Chris was one of the many of us who used lunch to meet with friends. In an attempt to rest her mind ' sophomore Lisa Shannon takes advantage of her study hal Study halls were used to work on homework, study for tests, or just relax 18 Cafeteria Cafeteria is used for lunch room and study hall. Where are we going to sit today? It doesn't really matter. Just find a place with two empty seats. This was a discussion frequently held as we entered the cafeteria At times, finding room to sit together could be a problem because it was hard enough to find even one empty seat. With the closed lunches, there seemed to be twice as many people in the cafeteria. Even with the crowding in the cafeteria, we found room to finish homework assignments, cram for tests, talk with friends, and, of course, eat lunch. The first day was a bit overwhelming for some Freshman Joanna Kemmer was surprised on entering the cafeteria because, “I didn't know so many people could eat at one time The lines are long and slow, but the food is better than at West. During the other six periods of the school day, the cafetena was used as a study hall. Compared with the lunch periods, study hall was practically empty and a lot quieter. Senior Dana Story believed the cafeteria was the perfect place for study hall because it was so large. Mrs. Dismuke, the seventh period study hall teacher, did not agree with Dana When asked for her opinion, Mrs. Dismuke fervently answered that, “I think this is the worst place to have a study hall. With the lunch ladies cleaning up, it's much too noisy and dirty. Standing patiently in line every day, we wait to choose our lunch There were tmes when the fcnes seemed to move too slowty. but we were all ted Although Mrs. Dismuke does not lie cafeteria study ha Is. she monkors one durrtg the seventh period Mrs Dismuke leh that cafetena study hals were too noisy Cafeteria 19 Though our community is small, life is diverse mail by I actiw ving in Ashtabula, we had a very I diverse life in that people were in-J volved in different things even though the city was small. The harbor employed a great number of people as well as giving fun and recreation to all that owned boats, fishermen, and just anyone who enjoyed Lake Erie. Lake Shore Park and Walnut Beach saw many tanned bodies during the summer and were the sights of many concerts and parties. Another source of recreation was the YMCA-YWCA. Many residents and students came here to work out and swim in the pool, just a few of the choices available. Student employment was another aspect of the community that stood out. Even though the national unemployment rate declined, Ashtabula's was still a high 12.8%. Because of the high unemployment, students found that they had to get jobs to support their families. For this reason, if you walked into a McDonald's or Burger King at anytime during the year, you were likely to see some students working. Also, many students had odd jobs just for the summer like washing trucks for companies or working on farms. Another good thing about the community was that it was industrial as well as rural. It was possible to travel from city to country in a matter of minutes. This diversity made a small town enjoyable. 20 Community At one of the many new down-town stores. Sara Schenks.

Patricia Wambui. unlike Melanie Niekerk, who was from South Africa, was from Nyrobi, Kenya. In Kenya, Patricia lived in a children's home which housed approximately eight-seven other kids Within her own family, Patricia had three older sisters, ranging in age from 19-24. During her year here, Patricia took part in two AFS get togethers. These get togethers were at Quail Hollow and Cedar Hills. All exchange students and their host brothers or sisters attended these events Patricia also experienced an exchange weekend These weekends sent all of the students in the area to different cities. Patricia went to Berkshire and PainesviBe Harvey. Patricia found her year to be successful saying, It takes a lot of trying and a lot of drive to be able to live away from your home Being here had helped me to grow up a lot and has helped me see the changes I need to make within myself It may have been a lot of trying, but Patricia made it seem easy.

Over the past three years, the school system and the The instructional process is facilitated by all staff members such as Ernie DeZolt in Alt Ed This process was second nature to Ernie who was also a part-time nstructor at K.S.l). court began to feel the burden of this ineffective system. The program is based on a six-week format of individual instruction with tutorial services if needed. Prior to the student entering Y.I.E.L.D. an Individual Treatment Plan (I.T.F.) is developed addressing areas of deficiency. Throughout the next six weeks, the student works on improving'these targeted areas. It is possible for a student to Max-out of the program in less than six weeks.

Between the hours of homework and all the extra-curricular activities, there was little time left for leisure. Some of us, however, did find time to get involved in intense physical activity, while others used our gift of gab to socialize during lunch break. It really didn't matter what we chose, just as long as we had some time to do as we pleased. Some simply didn't get into the jock scene and enjoyed reading books or magazines And there were always those who used our study time in study hall for leisure time and held our own spit-ball tournaments. Television was another pasttime. Television, however, didn't offer much of a variety. It seemed that we went home to soap operas and to bed with soap operas. If you happened to enjoy them, your leisure time was filled. A minority of us were actually satisfied with little or no informal life. The fast-paced life just happened to be our style. The fun and excitement of high school was enough to keep us occupied. One of the favorite pastimes during school was lounging m the doorway to the cafeteria It was always good to work off al those defcoous calories by gabbing with friends Taking a break from the classroom was David Chmieiewski. the future quarterback at OS U. Footbal was another fun activity that the kids became involved n outside of school 26 Informal Student Life Playing golf in the Dart Room may not seem ike a common leisure activity, but |ohn Koschik doesn't mind the artificial turf Many kids got into the swing of golfing this year Even though the first snow didn't last but a few days, this crew finds enough of the white stuff to build this dwarf-sue snowman.

Council members worked hard to promote the various sprit week activities Mixed nuts are popular The people around here never change —only their faces and their names. Have you ever heard the saying the times change and the places change, but the people never do ? Wel[ this statement couldn't have been truer here. The jocks and the scholars still ran the school, or at least thought they did. And the teachers still accused us of participating in illegal activities! Oh, if they had only known what we really did in our spare time. Don't ever forget the never-changing student council! Yes, those poor souls were always working on a project to better the school. They were the leaders, the do-gooders, and the teachers' pets. To be or not to be, that was the question ! Unfortunately, this was heard frequently from many who just couldn't make the decision. Oh, and those forever smokey bathrooms! Bet you always wondered what it was like to be inside of a volcano, right? And you were still so cruel to those freshmen. Honestly, elevator passes? Good job, Guys; they fell for it! Among all those different nuts, you found that the time changed; the places changed; but the people? ... You still had it! People Divider 29 The mouikeleers are our kind of people as Jeanne VanABen, Raquel Rashid, and Stacey Tittle proved on Halloween Halo ween gave people a chance to reveal their hidden identities. Pboplc - do you need them ? We always need friends even though sometimes we do have differences People —you knew them. They were everywhere you went. In the halls, in the cafeteria, even in the restrooms. Who were these people though? They looked like you; they talked like you; they even acted a little like you. They were in your classes. You got to know them. They shared your interests, your tastes, and they became your friends. You worked with them through the year and spent your spare time together having fun. You became very close friends, and you were always together. You could count on one another always to be there when needed. As the year went on, you occasionally found out that you had your differences, and it was painful. But you always recovered and became the best of friends again. You realized that the best friendships you ever made were in school, and you wondered what would happen in the end. Would you ever see them again? Would that happen to a friendship as strong as yours? You weren't sure, but time slipped past, beyond your control, and bravely you faced the future. 30 People Divider A good time for people fike KeHy Dalin and Jan Burlin to catch up on gossip is (her lunch period Lunch gave people a time to gather and talk during their busy daily schedules. People like Ann Hamilton and Perry Northrup made their year something special by dedicating the time to each other The friendships made in school would live on forever. The dose friendship enjoyed by seniors Kevin Furman, Genn Northern, Jeff Bled, and Fred Frye has Sved for years The strong friendship and others like it was irreplaceable.

Driving a car put seniors on the streets, and the Route 20 Grand Prix lived on with the hot-rodders. Weekends brought the chance to stop by the favorite carry-out to get something which just about every senior was too young to buy. The presence of drugs here and there added to the anti-society mystique. The price of high school fun could be high. From simple drag racing to DWI or even the possession of a little marajuana, every now and then someone got caught. Then it was time to face the law. A pair of unidentified students is held against a police car When students got out of hand and refused to obey the law. they were nskng getting themselves mto trouble Some seniors enjoy the illegal sport of drag racing on a city street.

It seemed as if the teachers knew this, so they tried to get as many last minute lectures in as possible. The speech or bawling out -whatever it was called, the topic was usually the same. Homework the senior was too busy to do, or a class that he was too hung over to attend - things like that made the teachers irate, and they were sure to voice their feelings. What was the senior to do but sit there, quietly, taking in the lecture, knowing that after a few months there would be no more high school lectures!

They worked to put all their money away for that new car or college as they knew they should, but now and then something unexpected would come up. Senior sweat shirts or a new muffler for the old car or concert tickets or root canal surgery — there was always something eating away at the money they saved. So they found jobs at restaurants or stores. Slowly they would put their earnings away until the day when they needed to dig into them again to pay off another debt. They would come out in the end. To earn money to save and spend, seniors like lulu Roderick found |obs n local businesses. Their jobs provided them with a sense of independence and responsibly. 36 Money r Alan Huey Footbal 2 Albert Hughes Football 1.4.

The army is coming to take you away for good. One word could send chills up some senior's spines and make others think ahead with anticipation. Some thought they could never join the military. The uniforms, the rules-that would be worse than high school. Others saw it as a great opportunity, a chance to leave home, travel, and learn a skill that would last a lifetime. Every senior man wondered about being drafted. There was no draft now, but for some reason the government collected a little card from each with name, address, and location if a war ever broke out. The best any senior could do was hope that none would ever see that situation.

The music beat plays a large role for seniors or four years, you could hear the beat and feel the rhythm in the halls. The class of 1985 had the beat and showed it every day. From Journey to Michael Jackson to Van Halen, the senior class grew up through its high school years with an upbeat sound track. Music was so important to them that much of their time and money was devoted to it. They bought tape players, albums, shirts-and if a big concert came up, it just could not be missed. A lucky few practiced their favorite tunes on their own, hoping for the chance to some day make it big.The rest just listened and collected favorite hits. Practice makes perfect for ail musicians, so David Chrroelewski practices Hot for Teacher during fvs study hal David practiced many hours to perfect his skills as a guitarist.

After a couple times of getting caught, they figured there was more to skipping class than just not going. First, they dreamed up the most imaginative excuses possible, tales of fiction that would have made professional writers jealous. Later they moved to an elaborate system of authentic and forged passes which could safely gain them passage to any place that they wanted to go. Finally, they worked on finding the perfect sanctuary to hide in. Hallways worked well or room 5B, or better yet, a trip home. The policy of carrying a pass m the hal is enforced by hall guard Sharlenc Peer Dave Chmielewski shows her that he doesn't have one Usually, however, hall guards were lenient A few students look less than enthused about being m one of their classes Boring classes were one of the causes for skipping among seniors with better thngs to do with their twne.

Juniors make the most of being upperclassmen HP he class of '86 finally became upperclassmen, just one year 1 from becoming almighty seniors. The thought was almost too good to be true There was much to do. Classes had to be taken more seriously as college was not so far away anymore. The Prom had to be funded and organized. Some juniors had to make the adjustment of going to the Vo-Ed. Getting used to driving had to be done by many juniors. But there was still plenty of time left to be a little nutty Clowning around in class was a familiar thing Juniors like Tom Lucas were often seen acting nutty to make the classes more interesting. As junior Kerry Swanson said, We all need a break from the routine occasionally. Having a snowball fight after school, Kerry Swanson and Ken Johnson relieve some tension Kerry and Ken often had this chance as they shared the same seventh period class. 46 Juniors Hamilton — Lincoln To make the remaining minute of his industrial arts class more lively, junior Tom lucas entertains Tom was often seen living up to the quote •'Sometimes you fed ike a nut ' Robert Long Wfcon Lopez Tom lucas Leonard Luoma loyce Malory kxl Marini Terry .Marshal Michele Mattie oia Lome McCalob Robert McKee Rodney Meany Dave Mrggo Anthony Mier Chris Mier Lynette Mier Tracy Miler David .Mulen Shefy .Mulen Mefissa Musser Cory Nagk- Kenny Naylor Perry Northrop Ke y Orth Inez Ortiz Richard Palmer Edward Parker Garth Peterson letitia Pettway Long —Pettway Juniors 47 John Plzzi Marty Placko Beverly Polls Tammy Preston Heid Probst Robyn Pycr Bnan RaHton David Randolph Leroy Randolph Ke y Reams Leesa Richmond Nancy Rngler Luis Rivera Terrence Rostan Tammy Rylance Arthur Sain David Sarvjers tnberto Santiago Ll atseth Sawki Kan Schfckey Tom Schupska John Shmek Robert Shokrs Ron Shook Angela Short Nancy Shumaker Stephanie Smes Dallas Slay 48 Juniors Pizzi —Slay Rutty Andy enjoys a variety including playing golf Just because Andy Jakowlew was a junior, it didn't mean that he wasn't a nut.

The freshmen at our school might have been frail and timid at the beginning of the year, but rounding into the second semester there were definite signs of eagerness to show that the class of 1988 had arrived. This freshman class, much as the ones in the past, did things like getting in with the upperclassmen, making good grades, joining together to build pyramids when they were supposed to be listening, and participating in school activities to leave their mark. However small or large the mark was, it was one that would put the freshman class in the minds of everyone else at the school. And if the mark wasn't made?

Starting over again as a freshman has few but important advantages It's not hard being the bottom man on the totem-pole. Sometimes there are advantages to being a freshman. The advantages are few, but they're still there. For instance, during the first few weeks, a freshman has a never-failing excuse for being late - I got lost! Another good thing about being a freshman is that the freshman class constitutes all the new faces for the social life at school. Not only do the upperclassmen get their pick of the crop, but the freshmen also get to meet new people.

It wasn't difficult for upperclassmen to single out the nutty popular freshmen from the others. From a distance one could hear zany Robin Williams greeting her friends with a loud, Oh no that...” or Dog gone that...” She seemed to always be in a pleasant, energetic mood no matter what. Another notable ninth grader was cheerleader Tricia Clancy. Of course, one had to have some spirit and pep to be a cheerleader, but she was super spunky. Besides enthusiasm, Tricia was also friendly and fashionable. One day she would wear a perky mini skit, flash a warm smile, and say Hi. Often she looked as if she had just walked out of some teen magazine. just being a freshman by itself was unique, but these two had their own brand of uniqueness.

Have you ever wondered what becomes of the faculty members after we leave school every day? Contrary to popular belief, they do not eat, sleep, and spend every waking moment in this building. They have homes and lives outside of this school just like us all. With weekends and most of the summer to themselves, our faculty members found plenty of time to pursue outside interests. Many worked at outside jobs while others pursued sporting activities and hobbies. Many faculty members enjoyed working other jobs during summer vacation. It gave most a chance to do something different for a change besides providing extra cash. Teachers who held outside jobs found them both rewarding and profitable. Other members of our teaching staff, who enjoyed working with the students more, devoted their spare time to clubs and athletic teams within the schools, these were the people who made great sacrifices and took time away from their families to direct and advise our groups. Those who coached our teams to victory worked long, hard hours with only the appreciation of their team members for their efforts. So, faculty members, our hats off to you. Whether or not it was always apparent, your hard work and ambition in and out of the school was appreciated and admired. Showing his style on the slopes of Val. Colorado is Raymond My Between advising the ski and backpack clubs and coachng cross country, Mr Billy found little free time Many teachers, such as Mr. Allshouse, like particpating in their class activities Mr Alshouse played in a local band and conducted the Ashtabula Chamber Orchestra In an atttempt to motivate his sixth period class, Mr Carle applaudes a correct answer Mr Cade coached the basebal team and also worked at the local hardware store. 64 Faculty Allshouse —Billy Richard Bryant Coordinator Jeff Carle Math Baseball Connie Chmielewski Math David Deleone HPE Geography Catherine Dewey Home Economics FT A Ernest DeZolt Alternative Education Emma Dismuke HPE Black Culture Club Faculty Bryant — Dismuke 65 Kathryn Gephardt Home Economics Junior Adviser Gene Gephart Principal loy Hassett Guidance Secretary Mary Hedberg English Senior Women AFS Adam Holman HPE Athletic Director Dick Horst Business Math Typing Robert Keenan English Hoi a dull moment Surprisingly, teachers are people with hobbies, interests, and active lives outside of school. Once those so-called boring teachers left their full classrooms and entered the world of the real people, they became interesting, not to mention active. Some like Miss Loretta Martello, Mrs. Mary Hedburg, and Mr. Gerald Mapes were deeply involved in school-related activities. Miss Martello had spent a good portion of the year advising the Dart yearbook, which was her tenth year doing so. She also was in her second consecutive year of counseling the school's newspaper, something she had done in previous years. The Senior Women's Club was directed by Mrs. Hedburg, who shared the responsibility of advising AFS with Mr. Mapes, the adviser of NHS, Senior Men, and the Senior Class. Other personnel had more personal interests. They ranged from playing bingo, which was one of Mrs. Joy Hassett's favorite pasttimes, to playing the stock market, which Mr. Doug Luce did to supplement his salary and because Lie found it to be a challenge. Mr. Luce also enjoyed bowling, golfing, and playing cards. Mr. Robert Keenan had more refined tastes as he liked to attend classical music concerts and plays. I enjoy going to concerts and plays because I find them to be intellectually uplifting.” Some teachers were involved in community work. The choir of the United Church in Geneva had been directed by Mrs. Ruth Ann Martinez for the past nine years. She did it because she thought she and the group she worked with got along well and because she enjoyed helping them put together their performances. Overall, the hobbies and interests of our staff were as diverse as ours were Maybe they were actually a little more exciting than we gave them credit for.

Weiss directs the administration in uplifting the school system’s curriculum. Dr. Bernard Weiss, the new Superintendent of the Ashtabula Area City Schools, replaced Dr. Wert early in luly of 1984. Dr. Weiss was formerly the superintendent of the Beachwood School System, a suburb of Cleveland. When asked for his first impression of Ashtabula, he stated that he'd had a very warm and friendly feeling about both the community and the school system. He felt the people were very helpful and receptive. When not busy. Dr Weiss enjoyed swimming, ice skating, traveling, and collecting art work. He also liked spending time with his family. A concern of Dr. Weiss was the lack of communication between his office and the students. He did not like to work from his office because he felt he should deal directly with the students and have an actual exchange of dialogue with them. Another concern of Dr. Weiss was the development and improvement of the school system's curriculum. He wanted to see the curriculum adjusted more toward gearing students for future jobs. Principal Gene Gephart, along with assistant, Randy Pope also felt the need to raise the standards of the system's programs. Higher ACT and SAT scores was a main goal set by Mr Gephart.

Not another test! You could've given us a day's notice. I had a game last night! Sound familiar? Did you ever get so buried with homework on the weekend that when the gang called, you contemplated saying no? But after two seconds of indecision, you were off! But Monday morning that work was still there. You thought it would go away, disappear, do itself. Think again. You're flunking school! You got dirty looks from your favorite teachers; your parents threatened to make you quit your job. Oh, please, not the job! You really felt like a nut then. You began to remember appointments you'd missed; you remembered you forgot to let the dog in-three days ago. But you had a reputation to protect. You had to get your life straightened around. So you grasped that nutty will to survive and pulled up the ole boot straps. It was simple-you stayed home for two days straight, studied, and saved your reputation. You proved nuts have brains, too. Academics Divider 73 The opinions of the students in a class are as important as the teacher's. Mr Hedbecg believed this and gave the juniors n her Engfcsh classes a chance to vote their feefcngs dacrifiec- is it worth it? Students improve their academic records through hard work acrifice... That seemed to be the name of the game. If you wanted to make the grade bad enough, you got it-but never without your share of sacrifice. You learned from the others-the experts, those who had mastered the obstacle, those who had learned to distinguish between when they could feel like a nut and when they couldn't. In some cases it seemed virtually impossible, and yet the want was so strong that nothing could have stopped you! Of course I want it, but the sacrifice is killing me! How many times did you hear yourself say that? It always seemed as if you had the desire but just couldn't grasp the will. And this was where priorities came in! You had to set them straight to succeed. Often it meant studying late on Friday to give yourself a break on Saturday. But wasn't it worth it? So many times you were tempted just to give up and take life as a joke; but you didn't, because when it came to academics, sometimes you felt like a nut-but sometimes you didn't. 74 Academics Divider In study hall Jimmy Funke.

That's how much effort we students in honors courses found we had to put forth in order to succeed this year The restructuring of the math program offered us classes that we could take only if we were interested in learning the math that we would use later in life. Math courses were the hardest for those of us who planned to continue our education after high school. Our schedules included selections like algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. These classes were always demanding of us, requiring endless studying, the ability to pay attention in class and the effort of trying to learn the subject matter. For students in the higher math classes, the required effort was worse. Honors courses were complex and briskly paced When one fell behind in these classes, it was hard to catch up. The Here Kevin Furman catches up on his math by crammng tor his fmal the night before For those who didn't take their math senousiy. final exams presented a maior obstacle honors classes covered a great deal of material in a short time so that students who took them could be ready to take on higher math courses in college. For some people the high demands of math were too much. Math was not a requirement, so many seniors elected not to take it. What for? said one of them. I know how to count anyway. Of course, math classes dealt with much more than counting Mr. Carle spent half a year trying to make his general math class understand the difference between a cosine and a road sign. The challenge was worth it, though, because when teachers and students put forth the effort, it was easy to learn about one of the most challenging subjects in our school. We found out that math courses demanded much from us, but if we had concentration, intelligence, drive, and dedication, we were assured of success.

Making the right decisions means choosing an individual science to suit all your needs Danging from general science to physics, the science courses offered to us varied. In addition to a variety of classes, there were four teachers who taught at least one of the different sciences offered. These teachers included Ray Billy, John Ranta, Don Subwick, and Mrs. Juanita Bailey. Mr. Billy taught the only physics course and Biology I and II. Physics was a course offered only to seniors, and only about 9% were enrolled in this challenging course. One student stated The word physics' seemed to scare people off. Another physics student, Deanna Bradler, noted took physics because I needed the credit and I knew it would never be dull. In charge of the earth science classes and the only two chemistry courses was Mr. Ranta. Tracy Miller, a sophomore, described earth science as being a very difficult course. I hope to further my education in science, and I felt the course was necessary was the reason junior John Koschik took chemistry. Mr. Subwick handled all the general science classes. Mrs. Bailey, who had transferred from West, spent mornings here teaching two Biology I classes, and finished her day at Harbor High School. Although only one science credit is needed to graduate, most colleges today demand three science credits. So, for those planning to attend college, science is a must. With homework to do, some students spent the time wisely, and others cfcd not Many students te t that the courses were tough and worked hard to achieve good grades Science 79 f ou ahnulib fife all that gnu fait ha.” English curriculum offers students a variety of choices and challenges to accommodate everyone regardless of race, creed, or national origin! Without a doubt, if you had asked students what was their most trying and time-consuming subject, many would have answered English To graduate, four units of English were required, which made it impossible not to have an English class during any of our high school years. Although English was a tedious subject, it had many different areas which could please just about anyone We have a great variety of English classes this year. There are some changes in store for the classes, including more composition for underclassmen, commented Miss Martello. This meant more of the dreaded book reports, lengthy assignments, and the unspeakable term paper Besides the regular English classes, college prep., honors and advanced placement for seniors were also offered. Many students took honors classes, john Koschik said I've taken Honors because it challenges me to the best of my ability. Creative writing, which was offered to seniors, enabled students to be uninhibited in an English class. Creative writing students were required to do many things throughout the year, such as wnte a song, compose music for it and perform it in front of the class. They wrote a short story and sent it to a magazine to try to get it published. Sharing many of their writings with the class for constructive suggestions or just for a good laugh was also another activity done by the students. A class that was open to juniors and seniors, poetry offered a chance for students to show their creativity. When asked about the class, Lisa Bartone commented, ”1 love it! It gives me a chance to show my feelings; it lets me be creative.

This idea is not totally true. Social studies was much more than dates with our variety of classes. Cultural history was an interesting class which dealt with psychology and human emotions Students in this class learned not only about others but also about themselves. When asked why she chose cultural history, senior Shelly Thomas replied, ”1 have two reasons really The first is because the class sounded really interesting. The second is because I needed the credit American history was a required class for juniors, but Denise Spencer enjoyed this class because, ”1 like learning about the Constitution. It could come in handy some day.” For those of us who sought a more challenging course of study, there were honors classes. Deanna Bradler stretched her mind by enrolling in the honors POD. class. Deanna's opinion of her class was, ”1 like honors classes.

We noticed a few things the classes had in common; all the classes studied old life styles from the country of their language. They all celebrated their country's holidays, and all of the teachers spoke to their students in the language they were learning. Some of the classes arranged tours to the different countries, as Mrs. Wyman and a group of students took a ten-day trip through Italy. As Latin student Missy Musser stated, It would be easier if we had books. had heat in the winter, and a separate class from Latin II, but we still do learn a lot. Most of the former language students said they did not really know how much they learned until they were no longer in the class, junior Tricia Johnson, who took Latin two years and is now in Spanish, said, I didn't really know how much I learned in Latin until I was in Spanish and could compare the two.

Junior Tom Lucas commented, “I really like print shop It teaches you a tot and is also fun. Home economics and independent living both helped everyone in it to deal with life on their own. Students learned to sew, cook, and to manage themselves at college or anywhere else. Senior Dave Chmielewski said, Independent living prepares us for life outside our parents' house and teaches us ways to get along in everyday life. Typing class was taken by many students who desired to learn their typing skills either for a job in the future or just for the sake of knowing how to type. And the skill really was for research papers. All in all. if you were looking for experience before you reached the time when it was too late, our high school gave you a great chance.

But heaven forbid that the ole gust of victory should blow against you. Drop the ball? Be serious; I'm on the varsity! Oops! Perhaps my footing was just a little off. Come on, admit it. Sometimes you feel like a nut! Your hair looks good that day; you ace a test; you make the first 10 in the lunch line. Whatever it might be throughout the day, you've gained the confidence to try the impossible. It's a big game and you're feeling wild and crazy, touched with the desire of an insane nut to be cracked.

You didn't get that way overnight. Remember all the pain and anguish of conditioning? And how about the sadness of watching a dream crushed before the actual attempt? You never thought in a million years that you would be the one to get injured! But all that despair brought wisdom to face your next challenge with confidence! Sometimes you fell hard ... driven into the ground with no hopes of return. But then you made a decision: this was no time to act like a nut! You banished your discouraging thoughts and began to take control. You realized your true force, and with this you knew that you had finally arrived. And whether you won or lost, you knew the most important factor was that you had faced it with confidence, because when it came to sports, sometimes you felt like a nut-but sometimes you didn't. 96 Sports Divider A possible field goal situation arises, and larrod Burgard and Bnan Shtslowski practice for the kick Varsity football was as usual one of the most popular and exciting sports In the cold winter months, wrestlers Kevin Thayer and Heath Fox keep warm by working hard in wrestling practice The wrestlers strived to have a successful season Pain is the price of competition as golfer Ron Newsome shows after completing the triathalon at Chapel Hi Al of the athletes for the different teams learned about the price Sports Divider 97 Freshmen football team learns and experiences in their first year, hoping for a better future.

Also, since the coaching staff had been kept intact for the last four years, the organization had a technique and fluency that not all other teams had. As Coach Mushrush said, When we started four years ago, we kept everything as simple as possible, still trying to win; however, now we have more confidence and can take the chance on the harder plays. For these harder plays, there is not just one key person to focus on. There are many capable players; this makes strategies easier because the opponent cannot shut down the main player. Captain Joe Bartone stated, We play well together and don't need all of the one-person talent that we had in the past. My feeling is that we can win the N E C. as tong as we continue to play as a team.

Take the teamwork and pair it with a public that had been skeptical for ten years and you wind up with a better than average football team. In fact, the team produced a 6-4 season, good enough for a third place finish in Northeastern Conference play. Many things contributed to the success of the team After close to ten years of losing, a third consecutive 6-4 season was pleasing to most fans. Most of the team members, however, felt that they were not a 6-4 ball club. Injuries of key players plagued the squad and partly contributed to a few losses. An early injury to quarterback Tom Carleton caused a shuffle at that position and a big injury to Darin DeRosa changed the personnel at right-halfback and slowed the running game. On a positive note, the success of the team seemed to center around the simple idea of teamwork. We seemed to be the dominant word on a team that just four years earlier had been full of I's and me's. This teamwork introduced a pleasant winning atmosphere The team was small in number There were only 40 team members, but everyone contributed to each win. The strong running attack of Darin DeRosa, Shaun Baker, Daryll Allgood, and Jarrod Bunch combined with the adequate passing game of quarterback Ken Johnson and a strong defense led by linebackers Roy Powell and Rob George produced one of the best showings in years. At the beginning many people doubted the small but physical team, but that became the team's incentive to win.

Coach Cavalanchia has made a definite impression on her girls. She made us work hard and helped us with all of our trivial arguments, said Tracy Miller. Team unity was a big problem for these young girls. Kris Miller felt, “The reason for all of the fighting and jealousy was because of the age of the team. The girls on the team were young, and for a lot of them this was the first time they ever had to work with anyone else. It was hard for them. All young teams go through this stage, but they pull themselves through in time.

Mr. Carr, in his ninth year as golf coach here, led the team to a 6-8 season. Even though the season lasted barely five weeks, most of the team members started practicing last year when school let out. Team practices started in the middle of August and continued until the sectional tournament in October. One of the highlights of this year's season was defeating Conneaut and Riverside for the first time in nine years. Although the team finished one game behind last year's record, they still performed, as Mr. Carr put it, Fair.” They finished fifth in the league and third in the Northeastern Conference Tournament at Punderson State Park. In addition, junior Marty Placko was chosen for the All N E C. team. The team also landed an eleventh place finish in the sectional tournament at Avalon As senior Kevin Furman put it, Golf was super!

Many times during the year, the course was wet, muddy, and difficult to run on. Because of the difficult course, the 1984 team had a frustrating 0-7 NEC season. One other reason for the frustration was the attendance at meets. As Coach Ray Billy said, Sure, there are a handful of parents there, but there were never any students there rooting us on. Just imagine a varsity football game with no one in the stands. This just added to the heartache of a small team and a losing season. Out of the expected 25 or so members that Mr. Billy hoped would run, there were only ten people out, eight guys and two girls. Even though the season was disappointing, there were a few members who stuck out from the crowd. Bob Sholtis was one of those few. Coach Billy stated that Bob gave his all no matter what the situation. Bob was s� ck for only one meet which We would have won by one point if he was there. Another outstanding member on the team was Clarence Covington. Clarence moved from Geneva and was the number one man on the team. Coach Billy noted, We would have been in real trouble if Clarence hadn't moved here. Cross Country 113 “Even though the team is young, they’ll succeed.

The main reason for the lack of victory was a lack of execution. The team drilled hard in practice and put forth effort, but once on the court in the game situation, nothing went right. We practiced plays until we got them right, but as soon as we got into the game, we fell apart, said Bill Tackett, a Robert Sholtis watches on as a teammate fees a lump-shot Sholtis. a junior, was a first year member of the team He a bo played tennis and ran for the cross country team junior. Another reason for the losses was lack of consistency. Things seemed to go right for a short time and then the bottom would fall out. The team did show a lot of promise. Point guards Rusty Ezell and Mark Cray showed fine shooting talent while the whole team showed a talent for passing the ball and getting down court As bad as things often got, the coach was always behind the team. The coach pointed out what we did wrong instead of punishing. And after we lost a game, he would show us our mistakes and try to solve them instead of giving the team extra work, stated Brian Shislowski.

The team lost eight players to graduation and had ony two returning to the courts. This meant Carlos Aponte and Lewis Taylor had to be stronger than in the previous year to help the upcoming players get adjusted. Coach Walters hoped to rebuild the team from the returnees' attitudes and said that he could see a flicker of a flame in his team and felt it would continue to burn. Because the group was not one of superstars, everyone had to contribute to its development. This contribution came primarily from conditioning Conditioning. which began on September 13, helped build comeraderie among players The work took place three times a week and consisted of a weight program, running both sprints and long distances, and grueling scrimmages which players conducted themselves. Why did veteran coach Walters continue to return to the courts year after year? I guess it's in my blood When I do decide to give it up, a part of me will die. And what did he expect his players to gam from their experiences with him? Hopefully, they can each get something that will make it easier to cope with life. In all.

One of the players making this sudden move into a starting position was senior Zachary Snell. Zach was a four-year basketball player and had played one year varsity, but this was his first starting year. People like Mark Cray, Keith Hinson, Melvin Thompson, and Albert Hughes competed with one another for other starting positions. The two returning players were Louis Taylor and Carlos Aponte.

Matt Manley, a relative newcomer to coaching girls' basketball, felt that this team lacked many of the basic skills necessary for I the game. “I would like to see a program started at the fourth or fifth grade level in order for the girls to be better prepared for the high school level. Mr. Manley felt that because of their inexperience and youth, it took the girls longer to jell as a complete ball I club. An interesting observation about the girls was their realistic attitude toward the game. They knew what skills they could or could not perform, and Mr Manley believed in everyone playing as long as they practiced and tried. Although they were not the most talented team in the league, the girls were good, hard workers. The team seemed to share an earnest interest in playing as a team rather than as individuals. Everyone was determined to give her all whether they won or lost. Although they hated to lose, winning at the jv level was not the most important facet of the game. Learning and improving the skills and fundamentals took top priority with our girls “Winning does not always mean that you improve, said Coach Manley “It may just mean that the other team is worse than we are.

Returning team veterans included seniors Dawn Snyder, Gina Vincenzo, Cheryl DeGeorge and junior Kelly Orth. It seemed as if the team had shrunk in size, but grown in unity and confidence. Many of the girls playing this year started as freshmen, which proved to be a valuable asset to the team. Their skills and experience played a key factor in leading the team to a successful season. Dawn Snyder felt the team had a positive attitude toward winning and was determined to excel. Though a lot of nervousness and tension was present, the girls handled themselves with confidence.

We still don't have enough people to fill all the spots, but the people we have are all ready to put 100% into the team effort, said senior Dave Chmtelewski The team finally was given its own room to wrestle in, which was a big help. Starting the season in the foyer caused many injuries because of cramped space and the low temperature Pulled muscles and pinched nerves seemed to be the most common injuries. The team captains were Joe Brady and Rob George, both seniors. I feel we are going to have to show a lot of leadership and hopefully this will catapault us to some N E C. wins. said Rob George. Under our new coach, I think we will have a very spirited and disciplined team, stated Joe Brady. Contributing to the attitude of this year's team was the first year head coach, Alan George He was the exception to the rule of coaches being teachers. Coach George was a highly respected wrestler during his years at this school, and thus was respected by the team. Consequently, team members were eager to seek and accept his advice.

Did you ever wonder what kind of person it takes to join a club? When you think of all the numerous clubs, you'd realize that they covered a wide range of personalities. We had our musically inclined who joined the marching band but had two left feet. We had the white folks who joined the Black Culture Club, and, of course, all the girls who had never played sports joined the Girls' Athletic Association. Oh, and those poor ski clubbers who had never skiied once in their lives! And how about the cheerleaders with those high-pitched voices that the animals heard so well. Then we had our A.F.S.'ers who had never even been to a pajama party! Yes, with so many clubs, how did you decide which one to join? You tried out for majorettes never having had a twirling lesson in your life! And so you had to explain to everyone, Sometimes you just feel like a nut. But wasn't that what the clubs were for, when you got that sudden urge to try something new and be a real nut? And those clubs sure did gather the nuts!

You found that orienting yourself to a club you enjoyed could give you a purpose or a goal to strove for. You found that you were at your best when you dedicated your time and energies to a cause. Band, student council, yearbook —you tried to accomplish something good for your group and for your school. Sure, it took long hours of work and endless sacrifice on your part, but you strove on, trying harder and harder for success. The price you paid was high sometimes-a missed class here, a missed lunch there. And there were the nights not spent at home or with friends, but they were worth it. All the explaining to your parents and your teachers paid off when you saw your goal reached. The last nour of the Wake-A-Thon, the final yearbook deadline —they brought pride and accomplishment. Your club had become more than just a pasttime. It was a way of life for you.

The band trudged to Station field every morning at 7:00 for marching practice. Rain, inspections, puddles-all were discomforts band members put up with.

Marching 1 band was only one of a number of organizations that made up the AHS Panther Bands. Concert band, pep band, and stage band also played parts in the band's activities in the school and the community. Concert season commenced with the end of marching season. No longer going to Station field to practice in the morning, band members instead retreated to the band room to practice the classical and popular favorites they would play during their winter performances. The pep band was one of the most active band groups. Throughout the year they played at pep assemblies and for special projects in the community. During basketball season, they also provided crowds at the home games with entertainment. Stage band, another large band division, played every day in the band room during third period. After many hours of practice, the stage band performed its unique brand of jazz in school and around town. For members, the year was long and full of work. But in the end, they knew it was worth it. They were active members of our city's best —the AHS Panther Bands, The pep band take a break from playing to watch some of the basketbal game n progress The band played dunng the games to enterun the crowd and to rane the team’s spnt Band 135 The choir works hard to replace old choir robes The choir, directed by Mrs. Martinez, consisted of 51 members. In her 2nd year, Mrs. Martinez stated, I want to build the choir up. She also noted that the attitude and morale of the students were improving. They're growing up! For many years the prospect of buying new choir robes was a long way off. In fact the robes in use were purchased in 1948. These robes were well-worn, and it was obvious our choir needed new ones. So, with hard work and determination, choir members were able to achieve this go on goal In relation to buying new robes, freshman Brent Thomas commented, I think it's really neat!” The students earned the money for these robes through a variety of fund raisers, which included a candle sale in the fall. They also sold candy bars throughout February. Although Staci Senita was not thrilled by the idea of so many fund raisers, most of the members felt it was worthwhile. When the choir members appeared at spring concert, it was evident they were proud to be wearing their new robes. Finally their hard work had paid off. 136 Choir At Tracy Cooper, Lersj Richmond, and Deena Do vie model robes lor possible selection, MHrssa UiBjrtolomeo jnd Robin Williams are amoved These were the choir officer liberty concentrjtin f on their musil Mvtinez's sixth period class keeps thee vok ber wh vvarfry or fheir oe f performance enriched Ihe students' education Concentration h an important factor for Rood tinging.

Unlike past years, both groups joined on projects to benefit the community. In November, the dubs sponsored a blood bank by the Red Cross. Club members helped set up equipment and worked throughout the day as volunteers at the blood bank. The groups also assisted the Catholic Service League in December by helping to sort and distribute clothing for the Share-A-Christmas program. Officers for senior men were: Dave Chmielewski, president; Stacy Jones, vice-president; Jeff Bliel, secretary; and Tom Carleton, treasurer. Senior women's officers were Dana Story, president; Diane Stevenson, vice president; Terri Rohm, secretary; and Darla Fish, treasurer. As the senior men's president put it, The organizations gave many seniors a reason to get involved, making this a very unified class. 138 Senior Men and Women Members listen to the careful instructions given by the Red Cross workers A bnet training session was held for those- who volunteered to work at the Blood Bank Sharing a laugh are Senior Men president Dave Chmielew-ski and Senior Women president Dana Story The two worked closely together so ther respective clubs could work as a unit Preparing for their jobs at the Blood 8ank are Senior Men and Senior Women members Many of the organizational meetings were held m the library during the seventh period Sorting out sweatshirts are Senior Men officers Tom Cadet on, Stacy Jones, and Jeff Bbel One of the Irst acts of both organizations was to purchase sweatshirts Senior Men Senior Women 139 the black and white After going to school for five days a week, who would want to spend his entire weekend at school also? A good guess would be no one, but this was often the scene as the yearbook staff worked to complete the deadlines One would think that being a yearbook member was all fun and games. Nothing could be further from the truth. The staff was one of the hardest working dubs in the school. Many long hours were put into designing and completing the yearbook. Yearbook members also had to have a sense of responsibility. The book cost approximately $11,000, all of which had to be raised by the staff. In addition, members had to design layouts, order No way! pictures, and write copy and captions Furthermore, the ad campaign was always a long, frustrating process. Throughout the year, members traveled to city businesses to see whether owners would like to put an advertisement into the yearbook. Sounds easy. Right? WRONG! Considering the time it took, the state of the economy, the impoliteness of some people, it was a long, frustrating process. Ads paid for less than half of the book; so a jewelry sale and a variety show were also organized by the staff. The organization was led by joe Savarise, editor-in-chief; Mindy Barchanowicz and Qanna Cochran; coeditors; Tim Clancy, business manager; and Loretta Martello, advisor. 140 Yearbook Attending what seems to be a lecture by adviser Loretta Ma teflo is the entire yearbook stall.

Accompanied by adviser Loretta Martello, six of the members went to Bowling Green State University to learn new ideas and pointers on news writing as well as yearbook copy and design One of the members on the trip, Joyce Mallory, said.

American Field Service serves the school and community in its try at bringing many diverse cultures together The American Field Service was probably one of the most beneficial organizations in our school. A.F.S. gave students of various cultures the opportunity to experience life among people of a culture different from their own. With Gerald Mapes and Mrs. Mary Hedberg as advisors, the A.F.S. club sponsored fund raisers to help pay for expenses. Flowers were sold for Sweetest Day and a dance was held to provide additional money. Students gave much support to the club through buying candy bars, participating in the Wake-a-thon, and giving to Penny Wednesday. Ever-popular Bikes candy bars were a quick and easy way to make a few hundred dollars. The Wake-a-thon gave students a chance to get away from home and socialize with friends and stay awake for thirty hours. Penny Wednesday, the most successful money-making effort, was a year-long campaign for pennies, quarters, or any money students donated. A contest was held between classes to see who could raise the most money. Mr. Rollie Mushrush's senior homeroom was the eventual win- ner. As a reward students of that homeroom were treated to breakfast. Another function of A.F.S. was to find families to host visting students. Gail Perkins, president of A.F.S., was a previous host sister. Patricia Wambui, our A.F.S. student, lived with Kim Brais and her family. Kim, a three-year member, felt that being involved with the A.F.S. was a beneficial experience.

With the exception of the freshman class, representatives for each dass were one teacher as an adviser, four class officers, and several elected Student Council members. Among the many successful accomplishments this year were the productive M M sale, the carnation flower sale. M's not a party it's not a gift exchange; It's “Wish Week' Student Counci played Santa Claus (or a day and granted fifty wishes, which were picked at random and the Spirit Week held during the football season. In addition to these numerous activities, student government also organized and participated in an exchange day involving members of Riverside's student government. Some members took time from their busy schedules to participate in decorating the school Christmas tree and going caroling at the hospital. Although many students in student government were involved in honors courses, they found time to devote their energies to forming a group that would represent the students and get things done. 146 Student Government Oiling in a vales order rv junior class president, Mark (adwisiak To raise money needed for the prom the junior class held various fund raisers throughout the school year To show you care, you buy a rower I Xiong a student council flower sale, sophomore (,mger Rauhe bought flowers from Jurao student in il member Teresa Wood Visitors from Riverside High School are given a tour of Ashtabula by president Tammy Andes and treasurer Dawn Snyder Student Counci exchanged members to learn about other schools The location of her student council members ts looked tor by Tammy Andes The peeve Jen t needed to know where members were during the day in case counci business arose Student Government 147 School spirit is hard work for cheerleaders and the majorettes. ometimes being a majorette or f j cheerleader was a thank-less V—' job. Most people did not realize the effort both groups put into their routines. There were six varsity cheerleaders, five J.V. and six freshman for the cheerleading squads. The cheerleading adviser was Mrs. Charlotte Mealle. Mrs. Mealle worked regularly after school in the gym foyer with all squads Besides -Mrs. Mealle the girls chose senior Missy Davis to be their captain. Not only were the girls responsible for cheering at games and pep assemblies, they were also obligated to bring drinks to the football team during summer two-a-days. Through fund raisers, they also earned money for camp and their summer uniforms. The majorettes numbered only seven. Majorettes, being band members, were required to play an instrument during concert band, and had to be in the marching band their freshman year. The girls spent their summer practicing in July every morning for two hours. In August, they were committed to band camp. practicing regularly with band in their morning and evening rehearsals. During half-time of varsity football games they L performed one feature number with the band. Having no adviser, except band majorette Alisa Powell, the girls were responsible for the feature number they performed. Cheerleader Carta Cox, Lisa Bartone, Shartene Peer, Shana Peer, and Sandi Haruelka cheer the team on to a Homecoming victory. It was a good feeing to beat Geneva.

Boosters Without help, many of our activities couldn't have survived, especially sports and band Their saviors, the heroes dressed in white, were G.A.A., the Athletic Boosters, and the Band Boosters. These organizations raised money throughout the year to finance various endeavors. The Gris' Athletic Association was in a good situation From the beginning of the year, they had all the money they needed. The purpose of G.A.A. was to provide money for the female sports at school. Besides this, they provided trophies for the girts' sports at the end of the year and they also bought the uniforms for the softball team. To raise additional funds, G.A.A. and WFUN sponsored a volleyball tournament in which WFUN personalities, the faculty,and members participated. On December 13, they had a Christmas party to honor the girls involved in sports. The officers this year were Kim Chandler, president; Kris Miller, vice-president; Liz Sawicki, secretary; Audra Fleissner, treasurer; Ms. Moseley, adviser. “We need new instruments and have to get the old ones repaired if we want to go on a trip and perform, and we need money in order to do this.'' This was what Mr. Martinez was heard telling the band at the beginning of the year The band Boosters took up this challenge. They organized cheese, sausage, and candy sales for the band Besides this, members held a spaghetti supper, an auction, tag day. a flea market, and various other community services. There were meetings held every second Tuesday of the month. At the controls were Frank Sparks, president; Ed Gallatin and Dixie Hamilton, vice-presidents; Mary Gustafson, secretary; Donna Matticola, treasurer. The sports programs were well backed by the Athletic Boosters. Over the summer, they held an auction and had a booth at the Ashtabula County Fair. During the school year, they had a spaghetti supper along with a 50-50 raffle. The boosters had the tickets printed for the football games, a little known fact. Heading the boosters were Bob Vincenzo, president; Sue Siebeneck, vice-president; Betty DiGiacomo, secretary; Linda Barchanowicz, treasurer. Boosters help school organizations to raise their much needed funds. “lejljp want G.A.A. Boosters 151 152 FT A Future teachers f h rtsi of America club prepares members to be ? I' TA, or the Future Teachers of America, was a rather unknown ’ club; yet it was one of the more productive and profitable organizations at school The FT A members weren't always vocal. If you had stopped a freshman in the hall and asked him what FT A was about, you would probably have found that he had never even heard of FTA. On the other hand, if you had stopped a senior member of the club who had been with the program throughout her four years, you would have discovered that the dub had aided her in deciding whether to become a teacher I've always wanted to be a teacher, stated senior Kim Chandler, “and through the unique and exciting experiences that FTA has provided for me, I have become even more certain that I would like to pursue a career in teaching. Mrs. Horn, Mrs. Marshall, and Mrs. Maleckar, the three rookie advisers, said that the club's main purpose is to promote interest in a teaching career and to give the students the experience of actually teaching in a classroom. Kim Brais sums it all up by commenting, I joined FTA as a freshman because I thought it would be an intriguing experience, and the last four years with the program have proved this concept true.

Mrs. Dismuke continued advising the club for her twenty-first year. Along with Mrs. Dismuke, a co-advisor, Mrs. Amarilyn Robinson, aided the club members in their efforts. Returning president Victor Chapman established a unique calendar of projects for the year. After being president for two consecutive years, Victor Chapman felt he had learned a bit. My leadership abilities have been strengthened ' said Victor. Darlene Dyer also returned as secretary. No other officers were elected A planning committee consisting of one member of each class was formed The year was divided so that every grade level had two months to present an ativity. Some of the club's functions were a Halloween costume dance, a Christmas banquet, and the annual fashion show held in April Black History Month was observed in January. Another noticeable change in BCC this year ws the number of underclassmen who were members In the past, juniors and seniors had outnumbered the freshmen, but this year was different. Despite the absence of upperclassmen, the BCC was not crippled With exciting, original, creative ideas from the new members, the club managed to make an important impression on the school. Once again members of the Black Culture Club strove for success and achieved the goals which they had set for themselves. Who are these lour weird looking people?

The program had been headed by Jeff Piscura for the past four years. The students who participated in the program did not necessarily have to have a job when they first signed up. They did, however, have to look for work under the supervision of Mr. Piscura. The Occupational Work Experience was a form of alternative education. The work experience gave the students who possible would not finish high school the chance to finish and work at the same time. Some of the jobs held by students ranged from work at a veterinary hospital to jobs at the local McDonalds. Working half a day left the other half for school work. The students took their required classes in the morning and in the afternoon it was off to work. Mr. Piscura was also in charge of making sure that the students arrived and stayed at their designated jobs. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Even the O.W.E. students had to take a little time out from the working day for some fun. The students combined service with amusement in a Halloween Party for the children at Children's services on October 30, 1984. OWE 157 Election and world tension make the news he news that affected the nation and the world during the year al-[ ways had an immediate impact on us and the way we ran our lives. During the summer, we watched Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro win the Democratic nomination for President at the Democratic Convention in San Francisco during a hot July. With their noisy and colorful show, the Democrats looked as though they might actually give Reagan a race for the Presidency in November. I like the idea of a female V.P., said Ron McClusky. She could make the beds in the White House. Meanwhile, we were horrified by images of a McDonald's restaurant in San Ysidro, California, where a madman named lames Huberty, originally from Ohio, killed 21 people in a senseless shooting spree. John Koschik swore off Big Macs forever. In August, the Russians held true with their promise not to attend the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Instead, they held their own games for the Communist nations in Moscow. Yeah, I went to the Russian Games, said Ron Newsome. They were as much fun as eating leeches. The Iran-lraq war continued with new fervor, and both sides began to attack international ships in the Persian Gulf. Tim Clancy cancelled his plans for a cruise in November. In September, the newest space shuttle. Discovery, made its maiden voyage. Like all NASA missions, it was of course a complete success.

The Republicans held what was called a convention but what was more like a party in Dallas. The incumbent was nominated without surprise and the Republicans showed that they could party with the best. They had a field day with allegation in the press about Ferraro's husband John Zaccaro. Unethical business dealings and possible mob connections were implied. Astute conservatives also noted that Ferraro didn't use her husband's last name. The Democrats lost countless votes. The Canadians, always trying to get ahead of the U.S., held their elections in September again. Progressive Conservative Brian Mulroney won in a landslide. However, few Americans cared or even noticed. The United States embassy in Beirut was bombed again America opinion of Lebanon was now at an all-time low Most Americans wanted the U S. out for good. So did most Soviet military officers in Syria. The President announced that he had outlawed Russia, and bombing was to begin in five minutes 158 The Way It Was An unidentified lunch protester distributes hand Mis denouncing the lunch system Many students were vocal and persistent in their winter boycott of the lunch room Conservative right-wingers were disappointed to learn that it was only a joke. In October, Soviet Foreign Minister Andre Gromyko visited the U S. to talk peace with President Reagan. The President was reportedly out to lunch.” China celebrated the 35th anniversary of its Communist government. There w re many parades celebrating the system that wasn't working as Mao thought it would. Across the ocean, the IRA bombed a 120-year-old hotel in an attempt to assassinate Margaret Thatcher. They failed but destroyed countless towels and bed sheets. On the lighter side of the news, a CIA primer on how to fight the war in Nicaragua was uncovered. It was useful in murder and other progressive activities in the area. Also, thousands of drunken, rioting fans in Detroit killed one and injured 80 after the Tigers won the World Series. The Detroit Free Press called the event a great day for baseball. The election in November brought a little surprise, as the President won 525 electoral votes to Mondale's 13. In India the Democratic process was also alive and well. Prime Minister Indira Ghandi was assassinated by her own body guards, and her son took over as Prime Minister. The shuttle Discovery recovered two satellites that were lost on an earlier mission. In December, rain had not yet fallen in famine-stricken Ethiopia. The famine was still devastating the country as relief from the industrial nations began to pour in. The United States and the Soviet Union agreed to further arms talks in Geneva in 1985.

They were in the papers and magazines, too. You couldn't get away from the Olympics if you wanted to. American stars like Mary Lou Retton, Carl Lewis, and Mitch Gaylord won plenty of gold for the U.S., and organizer Peter Ueberroth put on the greatest show ever seen. David Bowie made a 20 minute music video for his song Blue Jean. Dave Chmielewski called it ”a work of art.” The Cosby show premiered on NBC It featured Bill Cosby and his experiences as a father and husband. The critics loved the show, and so did the viewers Former NFL coach john Madden published his memoir Hey, Wait a Minute, I Wrote a Book. It was immediately a best seller, but the Pulitzer committee took little notice. In October, McDonald's sold its 50 billionth hamburger. The odds were that Jamie Carr sold it at the Edgewood Mickey D's. The Soviets brought back two cosmonauts who spent 37 days in space, a new record The first thing said back on mother earth? One comrade asked, Where is the toilet?” Bill Murray played a serious role for a change in The Razor's Edge. Peter Ueberroth became the commissioner of baseball. General William Westmoreland sued CBS for libel Dan Rather appeared unshaken, but odds are on the former Commander of Forces in Vietnam to win. In November, NBC aired the controversial story of a Green Beret captain who was convicted of killing his own family. The movie Fatal Vision was based on a book by Joe McGunnies and renewed interest in the 12-year-okl case. Perhaps inspired by Westmoreland, Israeli defense minister Aienal Sharone sued Time magazine for libel. Sharone was a foreigner, though, and this time odds were on Time. The extravaganza Supergirl was released. It's rumored that some people went to see it. Arnold Schwarzenneger appeared in the Terminator. Surely he would win an Oscar, but it was wondered whether it was necessary for an actor to speak more than five words to be eligible for the award In December, the new toys hit the shelves for Christmas. Trivial Pursuit, a board game that quizzed one's general knowledge, had sold 11 million copies.

Yes, you felt like a real nut when he was shaking his head no at the beginning of your sales pitch But you always held your head high on the way out of the store, and it stayed high, at least until you got back to the Dart room. Getting ads was a tough job but somebody had to do it. So you took it upon yourself as the dedicated Dart staff member to go beyond the call of duty. When you should have been eating, you were getting ads; when you should have been in study hall, you were getting ads; and for the ultimately dedicated, when you should have been in class... you were getting ads. 162 Ad Divider rAKE ME TO THE FINEST DINING PLACE IN TOWN 2145 W.

One year in time over and gone. For underclassmen it meant summer vacation; for seniors it was the beginning of the rest of their lives. You couldn't change what you had done. So you were going to have to live with it. Your only choice was to look ahead ... ahead ... Ahead to feeling like a nut next year! No matter where you went or what you did, you'd never be able to live it down. The damage was done and it was time to accept your label. You were a nut, a connoisseur. You had finally learned when to act like a nut and when not to... when to express your craziest desires and when to stuff a sock in it - when to put the lamp shade on and when to turn the light off-when to go for the gusto and when to finally throw in the towel. Succeeding in high school-for some a concept which would reveal whether they would succeed in life. Sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you don't. And that's the way it was. 190 Conclusion The seniors of tomorrow look on to the future wondenng what it wi bring for them Today's seniors were gone and it was up to tomorrow's to led the school into its new destiny. ___V :sion 191 Conclusi ---- The remnants of the school year are ssvept away by Paul Cochran Another school year had come and gone, but students stfl had the memories of what they had accomplished Some of the seniors of 1985 pack up and head off to college Many seniors chose to continue their education by roughing out another four years at a university.
