A Fun Sort ot Homecoming The High School held their annual Homecoming parade on September 20, 1985. Members of the Batesville High School Student Council played a vital part in the organization of the parade. Co-Chairmen of the parade were Missy Meyer and Alisa Robert- son. The two girls accepted the respon- sibility of one of the most visible events of the Student Council. This year the parade began at 6:00 that evening and was led by the Bulldog Marching Band. Following the band were the queen candidates and representatives who made up the court. The class floats then followed for judgement by a select group of teachers. This year the Juniors won the float contest. Also participating were many of the local merchants. Left ... Charissa DeFrancesco and Brian Schwetiman wave shyly toward the crowd. Below ...

Gridiron on September 20, against the East Central Trojans. The Bulldogs came out with high hopes after coming off with a close victory over South Dearborn the week before. Batesville won the coin toss and decided to receive the open- ing kickoff. The Bulldogs’ opening drive was stopped quickly by the East Central defense. On Batesville’s first time at defense, Mike Ertel stunned the Trojans with a quick interception early Above .. against the Trojans. 8 Homecoming Game in the game. The Bulldogs were, once again, held on their second possession by a strong East Central defense. East Central scored first on a 25-yard field goal; and in turn, Batesville tied the score at three with a record 40-yard field goal by Tom Daily. Unfortunately, East Central controlled the rest of the game. The Bulldogs gave it a valiant ef- fort, but allowed the Trojans to score twice more. When time ran out, the final score read 16-3, East Central. - Harry Robben enjoys @ cocktail between plays. Right ... The offense moves the ball Below . . .

September 20, 1985 9 Homecoming Queen 1985 Homecoming was somewhat dif- ferent this year. The game was played on Friday night instead of Saturday afternoon. The parade preceded the game as usual. Everyone enjoyed themselves and no one seemed to mind the change. Halftime came and the tension grew as everyone waited for the queen to be announced. Lisa Nobbe was crowned queen by captains Mike Ertel, Dave Wachsman, and Tim Hunter. Everyone cheered and millions of pictures were taken to remember this great event. Everyone had a great time. We all looked forward to next year, but no one will forget this Homecoming. Right... Homecoming Queen Lisa Nobbe tries to stand still as captain Tim Hunter crowns her. Above ...

Not Really!!! “Your high school years are the best of your life,’’ has been heard by every high school student at least once. High school is fun and can be the greatest four years, if you want them to be. At Batesville High School there are many opportunities for fun. Every week there is some type of sporting event students can watch. 12 Just Havin’ Fun! There are also many activities which school organizations sponsor. Dances, pizza parties, skating parties and many other events add to the fun of going to high school. The truth is high school can be a great time if you go out and get involved. li, KEM 1S FRY Above left . . . Let us guess! Madonna and Cyndi Lauper? Above ...

Students and teachers were asked up on stage to boogie with the band. Mr. Zimmer- man, Mrs. Gray and Mr. Lemen were the only teachers brave enough to ac- tually get up in front of everyone. A wide variety of authentic African drums, rattles, and other instruments were shown and used during the con- vocation.

The theme was ‘The Old Woman that Lived in a Shoe.’ The an- nual Powder Puff game between the Juniors and Seniors resulted in a loss for the Juniors by a score of 3-0. The rest of the year was very exciting and busy. In sports the Juniors came in numbers to support their teams as they electrified the fans. The Juniors were busy preparing for the Jr. Sr. Prom.

A lot of people wish their high school years away because they just do not like to be ‘confined’ in a school. Most students at Batesville don't feel this way. ‘‘Why? ’, you may ask. The reason is obvious. The atmosphere at BHS is one in which the students can relax and enjoy themselves while lear- ning at the same time. This feeling is created by the warmth and friendliness which is presented by the faculty, staff, and administration. Batesville High School is very for- tunate to have such a fine group of professionals. The entire staff works hard at making the life at BHS pleasant and educational. Working together as a group, instead of as individuals, is the key to such smooth operations. All of this, plus some fine leadership from the administration makes our school a very special place to be. Above . . . Assistant Principal and Athletic Direc- tor, Mr. Glenn Butte. Top Left ...

The Pack ended the season with an 8-4 record. The team won the Ripley County Invitational by placing their seven runners in the top 10, but took second place at Conference, behind South Dearborn. Undaunted, The Pack crushed South Dearborn at Sectional, and brought home a trophy. The team took second place at Regional, qualify- ing for the ‘inescapable’ Semi-State meet, where the team placed eleventh of fifteen teams.

Winter 1985-86 Bleacher Creatures 68 Bleacher Creatures This year Batesville High School tried something new in order to raise spirits at the basketball games. BHS had been pretty well known for their lack of school spirit at basketball games. This year a couple of seniors, the cheerleaders and Coach Cochran got together and formed the Bleacher Creatures. The group was a big hit in the beginning. T-shirts were sold, and it looked like it was going to be a great year for basketball and school spirit. Well, basketball season began and not too many of the Creatures came out to fill a cheer block. The idea was kind of forgotten as the season pro- gressed. But, as soon as all hope seem- ed lost for the Bulldog’s cheering sec- tion, tournament time rolled around. As impossible as it might have seemed, the BHS cheering section was packed both nights of the Sectional. The story gets even better. The fans were dress- ed in Batesville blue that filled the adult section. With painted faces, pompons, and streamers the students were unbelievable.

Another Great Year for Boys’ Golf 1986 proved to be all that was an- ticipated for the boys’ golf team. The pre-season appeared rather bleak because of the lack of a coach, but the last minute hiring of Coach Dunker turned out to be one of the best deci- sions that could have been made. Not only did Coach Dunker come out of retirement to offer his unmatched wisdom, but also he led the boys to an EIAC victory and was the conference Coach of the Year. The boys went on to place fourth in the Sectional to finish the year. 80 Spring ‘86 —Boys’ Golf Individually, Mike Fleck was named MVP. As a sophomore, Fleck placed second in Conference, first in Sec- tional, and eighteenth in Regional. The Bulldog Award was given to Mark Dreyer for his dedication and admirable ambition to do well. The team was assisted in coaching by golf profes- sional Paul Bessler, a former Bulldog himself. Mr. Bessler provided a lot of pointers for the boys that only his type of experience would allow. The potential for a stronger team next year is expected. Coach Dunker is dreaming about his next retire- ment party. Boys Golf—Row 1: J. Vogt, D. Grassman, T. Leising, D. Meyer, M. Fleck.

What a Year for Girls’ Tennis The girls’ tennis team had quite a season this year. With only one senior on the team, the girls looked to the junior class for leadership. Mary Ekins led the squad at the 1 singles spot. Cristin Signom played second singles and third singles was filled by Shelley Robertson. The doubles teams were Joleen Hales and Heather Drockelman and Missy Meyer and Alisa Robertson. Above ... Shelley Robertson was a surprising freshman at the 3 singles spot. Right . . . Mary Ekins’ quickness at the net allowed her to challenge some of her strong opponents at the 1 singles position. 82 Girls’ Tennis The team was coached by Mr. Jim Lang and later in the season by Mr. Fred Sagester. The record was not quite as im- pressive as the girls may have liked. The girls had a lot of matches in which they only lost by one, but the record still stands at only two wins for the season. What made the ‘86 season such a FET LE Oe AP PD et P 7 year for girls’ tennis? It was midway through the season that the team ex- perienced a change of coaching. Mr. Lang's resignation surprised many people. Fortunately, Mr. Sagester, the former coach, was willing to complete the coaching responsibilities for the rest of the season.

They had several moments when they could have given up hope, but they managed to pull together and blow away the other teams. The weeks in which the tournaments took place will be remembered by many for a long time. During this time a real effort was made by everyone in- volved, including the coaches, the players, their families and fans. It cer- tainly paid off. 1986 Bruins—Left to Right: B.

BHS Student Council Has a Fun Yea - a One of the strongest non-athletic organizations at Batesville High School is the Student Council. This group is responsible for many of the events that take place through the year. Meetings begin early in the summer with making plans to conduct the annual Hill-Rom Day at Liberty Park. They also prepare a majority of the events that are associated with Homecoming festivities. During the year the Student Council sponsors dances, special ac- tivities ike Student Activity Day, Teacher Appreciation Day, and special lunches in the cafeteria. The Semi Formal Dance in December is the entire responsibility of the coun- cil. In the spring, the council selects members to represent BHS at the state level through conventions which are attended by over 100 schools. Towards the end of the year, the group has the picnic for the teachers, and ac- tivities planned for the whole student body. All of these things, plus more keep this group very active and very influential in the life at BHS. This year the Student Council was led by Chris Stroebel, President; Harry Robben, Vice-President; Lori Meyer, Treasurer; and Gena Zeigler, Secretary. Mr. ae served as sponsor for the group and provided some insight and wisdom for the group. Above right . . . Hey, Tom Gillman, is this just like McDonald's? Above left ...

It started out with camp during the summer. This year the girls attended a new camp in Dayton, instead of the camp at Indiana University. This new camp combined both majoret- tes and drill team. The groups performed at all home foot- ball, basketball, and some girls’ basketball games. The drill team also attended a contest in April and did a fine job. Cap- tain for the drill team was Gena Zeigler and assistant captain was Jessi Parmer. Feature Twirler was Lisa Nobbe and ma- jorette captain was Renae Shane.

They also did a number of new ac- tivities. One of these was the ice cream social which was held at Liberty Park. When the ‘Beat Goes On ’ the band was usually there.

Under the direction of Mr. Gray the group performed at many functions other than the basketball games. The group performed often for the Batesville Middle School. They also entertained the community with many benefit performances. The Jazz Band has great potential to become a strong musical aspect for BHS. Jazz Band—Row 1: V. Smith, M. Fleck, B. Anderson, R.

Spanish Club The 85-86 school year was another good year for the Spanish Club. Many exciting activities were sponsored by the club. The group went on many field trips to places such as Garcia's Restaurant, roller skating, and to King's Island. The group sponsored many bake sales and sold candy at ballgames in order to raise money. Throughout the year, they held a raffle and sold gifts to raise money. The main event for the Spanish Club this year was the trip to Mex- ico over Spring Break. Many hours of preparation took place for the trip. Intense study of Spanish com- munication and how to survive in a Spanish speaking country was necessary. The trip was a great suc- cess and something that will be remembered for a lifetime. Leadership of this year's club was held by Jennifer Hales as President, Kelly Ach as Vice-President, Leah Hefer as Secretary, and Amy Ilder- ton as Treasurer.

The Club, also, baked cookies and sold them at the Consumer Show to raise money for Riley's Childrens Hospital in In- dianapolis. The Batesville club had the second largest donation to this cause in the whole state, donating over two hundred dollars. Row 1: D. Sunderman, C. Blum, 8. Wickens. Row 2: K. Effing, R. Widener, J.

A lot of work went into the performance on and off the stage. The sets were the most elaborate in recent years. The cast and crew put in a lot of work under the direction of Mr. Hayes and Mrs. Gray. Lori Green and Ken Schwartz did an excellent job as Cinderella and Prince Charming. Cinderella was a reproduc- tion of the old children’s fairy tale. Brad Decker and Sandra Peetz played the parts as the king and queen. The wicked stepsisters and stepmother were played by Cindy Wirth, Erin Wiley, and Tammy Holzbacher. The play was a big success as it came together in the last weeks of rehearsal. lt showed what people can do when they are dedicated and work together. Congratulations to all of the singers and dancers. Row I: K. Ekins, B. Decker, B. Schwartz. Row 2: K. Schwartz, B. Wiley, M. Reverman, J. Hunter, C. Stroebel, K. Ritter, T. Demalon, 8. Freese, M.

Not only did they do well in contests and judging, but also took several interesting field trips, like the Farm Progress Show at Knightstown. The Indiana FFA is the only state organization that owns and operates their own FFA Leadership Center. The moneymaking projects that the members honed with were the FFA farm plot, the apple and cider sale, and the Vitality seed sales. They spon- sored the FFA calendar, assisted in panne cars for ball games, and at- tended the Farm City Week Banquet to name a few of the many activities that members could enjoy. FFA—Above . . .

This group did many visible projects throughout the year. One project was the personalized computer Valentine sale. Mostly the Computer Club got together for the fun of learning the various functions of the computer. These activities were visible throughout the school in the form of posters, signs, and banners. The Com- puter Club is definitely a sign of Batesville High School's modern and futuristic attitude. 110 FFA and Computer Club Computer Club—Above ... Row 1: D. Schrader, R. Wilhelm, T. Hartshorn.

This year Junior Achievement under- went a drastic change. They went from having only one company for the whole year, to companies that were for one semester, doubling their ex- periences. JA is now not allowed to use power tools, so this had a dramatic ef- fect on the products that they could produce. The club showed high school students firsthand how a real company worked, since they actually formed an operating company. Working in the school cafeteria doesn't seem to be the funnest way to spend your high school years. The high points are there, though, and it is the little rewards that keep the job interesting. This year's cafeteria workers were once again an invaluable part of the school's operation. The assistance they provided, whether it was serving food, cleaning trays, or washing tables, was definitely something BHS could not do without. The crew learned to work together and some new and lasting friendships were formed.

You can choose from several different activities such as baseball, tug-of-war, soccer, tennis, sunbathing, water balloon tossing, or planting a whipped cream pie on the face of your favorite student council member. While some students take part in several of these activities men- tioned, some enjoy the day playing frisbee and getting caught with water pistols. Another part of the Student Activity Day that has become very popular is the slave auction.

WN si i} And to the Class of ‘86, We Dedicate This Prom April of each year brings a lot of ex- citing things. Spring sports begin, the snow is finally over, warm weather ar- rives, and everyone's attitude seems to be just a little more pleasant. One of the main events of every spring in every high school is the Junior-Senior Prom. This year at Batesville High School, the tradition was continued with as much style and festiveness as ever. April 19 was the date and what a day it was. Many students spent the day preparing for the night. Some of the more important duties for the day were picking up the flowers from the florist, getting the car washed and cleaned, collecting the tuxedos, and, of course, getting to the beautician on time for your appointment. After all the hustle and bustle of get- ting ready, the night began. Many students went out to dinner at an elegant restaurant. Doors opened for the dance at 8:00. Music by The Edge began at 8:30. By 9:00 the gym- nasium was packed with students and everyone was having a great time despite the heat and humidity that caused the streamers to sag. The time rolled on and around 11:00 the 1986 Prom King and Queen were announc- ed. This year Lisa Nobbe and Luke Billman were the recipients of this honor. At 12:00 the band had stopped and everyone had gone. An other one of the precious memories of high school had been made. Prom—April 19, 1986 117 The End of an Era It is difficult to summarize the last four years of one’s life. There are so many good times and some bad times as well. Yet, the four years that are spent in high school are special. So much change takes place during this time that this era is always remembered. May 24, 1986, marked the end of an era for the members of Batesville High School's Class of ‘86. It was a great ceremony. Terri Owens began the evening with an_ invocation. Speeches were then given by classmates Tammy Wolff, Ken Schwartz, Angie Volk and Janet Merkel. Bob Laugle and Lori Meyer brought back some fond memories during their speeches about some of the memorable moments of the past years. Lisa Nobbe and Sharon Freese followed with words of inspiration for their classmates. Then the Class of 1936 was introduced. One member who spoke on behalf of the class wish- ed the new graduates well and told them to ‘Always be happy.” The ceremony then proceeded to the presenting of diplomas and announce- ment of the class valedictorian and salutatorian, Mark Timke and Amy Naegele, respectively. The ceremony ended with a benediction given by San- dy Grieshop. Graduation symbolized the end of a very special time in all of the Seniors’ lives. From now on the teachers will be harder, the days will seem longer and the challenges will be far greater. The Class of '86 chose a white rose as their class flower. Their motto was ‘A Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step. ’ The song that the class chose, and a few of the graduates performed, symbolized the true meaning of what their high school Above . . . Several classmates performed two selections during the ceremony, With A Little Help From My Friends and That's What Friends Are For. Right . . . Harry Robben and Dave Wachsman just can't believe this night has finally arrived. 118 Graduetion career was like. With a Little Help From My Friends. Each year every class has its distinc- tive qualities and aspects which make it original. The Class of ‘86 was not the most athletic or the most intelligent. Nor were they the worst class or the best behaved. The graduates this year did not find it important to be remembered as something vague and general. Each member was an in- dividual and, therefore, made the en- tire group unique. The Class of ‘86 will be special in the hearts of many people, such as teachers, parents, friends and so on. For those who were a part of this class there was something about it which was hard to describe. A feeling of closeness and togetherness which will remain in our minds and in our hearts forever.
