Faster, faster. he said quickly. As part of the Laurie Wilder Olympaid, John Casey and Scott Buckholz peddle themselves down the gym floor in order to win the driver's education event. Eight events made up the two-hour long assembly, excluding the climactic tug-of- war which had to be cancelled due to a lack of time. Hey, I like your make-up, she said col- orfully. In celebration of Laurie Wilder Day, Sally Glover painted her face red, white, and blue to boost senior spirit for the Powderpuff game that occured the next day, October 4. Facepainting is fair- ly inexpensive; A pot of ordinary face paint costs around $ 1.50.

They've got a quote from you on the front cover that makes you sound like the world's biggest idiot! Ha-Ha, it's right there for everybody to see. I feel even more sorry for you! Hey, we shouldn't be talking about our own embarrassing situa- tions. We should be talking about all the good things that happened this year. What are you talking about?

We should both look at who's talking. It seems that everybody has something in- teresting to talk about this year. You could say that we're all in the same boat, huh? Theme Opening (X Geez, it's so boring around here. Nothing exciting ever happens. It's always the same old scene — stu- dying, homework, and tests, day in and day out. The student life around here is really a bummer. BORING! What are you talking about? Think about all the things that happened during the ten months that we were in school, not to mention summer vacation. How can you say that nothing happened during that enor- mous chunk of time? It's impossible for twelve months to go by with absolutely nothing happening! OK, if you're so sure something exciting happen- ed, why don't you just share it with me? I mean you do have proof, some kind of photographic evidence or something, don't you? Just say when, and I'd be glad to. OK, OK, How about September, or October, or the other 8 months, for that matter? What do you think happened then, huh? Look at what happened in September alone; we started school, seniors sponsored a Cedar Point assembly for the entire school, and Laurie Wilder Week began at the end of the month. What do you have to say about that? But hey, that's only the first month of school. You've still got nine others to go ... I'm waiting. Fine then, if you're going to be that way. But it's going to definitely take more than one page. I told you a lot happened, and I'll prove it to you... past Laura Wheeler Bridgit O'Brien col- lects from a con- cession stand patron. Pop and hot cocoa were the most While parading around the gym before the start of Laurie Wilder Olympiad, the freshman lead the way, carry- ing a banner announcing their class. Student Life Division Mr. Thomas’s AP history class started their morn- ing taking a three-hour test to challenge their knowledge of American history. Scores ranged from 1 to 5. With a 3 or above college freshmen could test out of history or get college credit depen- ding on their school. Senior Kris Matey re- ceived a 4. APRIL 21 MOND After a week of practic- ing for two hours each night, it was finally the day for 52 girls to try out for the Rockette line. All can- didates were judged on a dance and kick routine (taught to them by the graduating Rockettes), the fight song, and an original dance. Tryout order was determined by the number each girl picked. Tryouts started right after school and lasted until about 11.00. Since we tried out in groups of five, the people who had already per- formed could leave and come back. Everyone who hadn't tried out yet was so nervous that they kept do- ing their routines over and over while they waited. Even after four years, I was still nervous. The worst thing was the intimidating judges! They didn’t smile once! I would have felt really bad not being on the line as a senior because I had made it my junior year.” -Becky Harman — M. Zukowski “I knew the test would be too hard to really study for because it covered almost 200 years of information, so I didn’t even bother study- ing. The multiple choice concentrated on obscure facts that we never went over in class, but the essay question was easier because I could disguise my answer so it sounded like I knew what I was talking about!” -Kris Matey — C. Westervelt — M. Zukowski APRIL 27 SUNDAY As a sure sign of warmer weather, Ohioans “spring” forward in time every April. Most people like Daylight Savings Time because it’s not dark at 5:00, but some summer lovers who didn't change their clocks back last fall were especially happy as the rest of the world caught up to them. The thing I hate about Daylight Savings Time is that it’s hard to get used to. If you go to bed at 10:00, it's actually 11:00. When I was little I’d come home, thinking I was on time and I'd be an hour late. It all worked out in the fall though because I would be an hour early. ” -Julianne Plzak GROOVE TO THE BEAT. Concentrating on their routine, junior Matt Davis and Kaduate Sharon Perrine perform Red Light att's sonhomorc year was his first year with the snow choir. READY TO GO. While waiting begin their performance, senior Gretchen Hall and eraduate Becky Carson gaze at the audience. It took the group about eight practices to perfect the routine. — M. Zukowski BHS PLAYED ITS BEST JOKES I've always wanted to give someone a bowl of chicken soup made from chicken bouillon and those little plastic rubberbands you get from your orthodontist. Of course. I'd tell the person before they actually ate some! said junior Christy Buchta. Most everyone has either been the creator or victim of a practical joke on April Fools' Day sometime in their life. Senior Cindy Westervelt com- mented, I remember we used to torment a teacher in eighth grade by turning our desks around to confuse him. Although, come to think of it, we did that to him all year long too! When I was little, I always used to love to get up before anyone else on April 1st and switch the bags inside of the cereal boxes around. It was great to watch Dad going for the 'Grapenuts', not knowing that he was actually £oing to end up with'Boo-berries: So, as the jokesters of the world unite, watch out this year because someone could get you with an April Fools' joke. It was the backstretch of the '86 school year, commented senior Chris Beckerman. That was the general outlook of the student body on spring break. Every year, the weather starts to turn, glimmers of summer begin to shine through, and each stu- dent acquires and end-of-the- year attitude. While some students headed west to ski in Colorado and Utah, others vaca- tioned in Florida and the Bahamas. Some loyal Bay Villagers stayed home and com- batted boredom. Since most of my friends and I weren't fortunate enough to head south, we made it tradi- tional to play poker whenever and wherever we could, said Shawn Kellev. Although it was ereat to breaK away from school for a week, Easter Vacation can get really boring. Junior Robin Knutsen said, We had the best time! A few nights, my friends and I had nothing to do, so about ten of us went to Friday's for dinner! Since we usually found or made something to do, it didn't really matter to me whether to me that I didn't get to go away. EASTER VACATION DOESN'T MEAN BOREDOM IN BAY WITH A ROYAL FLUSH. Over Easier Break junior Shawn Kellev, senior Rod Hoffman, and friends amuse themselves with a game of poker. The group got together to have fun and prevent boredom many times throughout the vacation. SHOW CHOIR DANCES AND SINGS EVERY SPRING As an annual event, the show choir performs in a morning assembly. In the show, they sang and danced to the traditional Red Light along with other new routines made up by Mrs. Flanson and her choreographer. Junior Matt Davis said, It's really nerve-racking to get up on that stage and make a fool of yourself singing and dancing when you know that your going to get mocked by your friends afterwards! Student Life For the first time, can- didates in the spring elec- tion were required to write a campaign statement ex- plaining their goals if elected. These statement, along with a picture, were displayed in the new “prideboards. Candidates were also required to get 50 classmates to sign their petition for candidacy. '7 ran for secretary because I decided that it was important to get involv- ed. I had experience since I'd been class secretary at my old school in Viriginia. The thing I hated most about the election was that someone had to lose. -Mary Beth Laurenson MAY 13 TUESDAY To honor students who maintained a 3.595 or above GPA for two quarters, the Kiwanas — M. Zukowski At 7:30 students stroll- ed into the back room of the ChiChi's at Westgate for the publications' ban- quet. Both rookies and veterns of the three publications dined on either chicken or beef bur- ritos. Reviewing the year's accomplishments, Joe Pir- nat, Lisa Sturges, and Kevin Robison spoke on the Lit Mag, the yearbook, and The Window respec- tively. New staff positions were announced followed by an induction for all new Quill and Scroll members. Everyone fought over seats and who would get — M. Zukowski Club held an assembly in the auditorium. Students were called up by class to receive their certificates. Seniors who were awarded this Academic Achieve- ment award all four years were acknowledged separately and were given a dictionary as well as a special award. '7 didn't know what to ex- pect since they did not give out awards at the middle school. I think it's a good idea to recognize people who worked hard during the year. -Jana Lupo — M. Zukowski what food first. I liked the idea of having the new staf- fers along with the old. That way they get to know each other for the upcoming year. -Karen Ihms May P1ROUTTES. Twirling around, junior Lauren O'Mara dances in the arms of graduate John Black. Before the dance, Lauren had to have her dress altered for a better fit. CARELESS WHISPER. Graduate Mike Cioce stops dancing for a moment to whisper to his date, Traci Cunn- ingham. Once the dancing began, iris wore their datesv bowties their necks. many g: around I Deluca's Hosted Prom songs. I was surprised because they played so many requests. To the disappointment of many, only one slow song, Like A Rock, was performed. What was every senior talking about in May? that final, last dance that nad been in the minds of every student since they had entered the high school — prom. Whether it was who to go with, what to wear, or where to go the next day, converations about prom echoed throughout the hallways. Tickets for prom cost $20 and $10 extra for students taking dates from other classes or other schools. Extra expenses included buying flowers and dresses or renting tuxes. Many eirls had their hair cut or styled tne day of the dance. Junior Traci Hennings remarked, I had my hair done at a place on the eastside of Cleveland. My hairdresser was running behind schedule, and I didn't get home until a half hour before I was supposed to be picked up. The majority of couples arriv- ed at DeLuca's in limousines. Once there, couples chatted with friends briefly before sitting down to tables of ten for dinner. After a filling chicken dinner, couples then lined up to get their pictures taken. Like all dances, the lines were excessively long, and couples had to wait approx- imately 45 minutes to be photographed. Once pictures were taken, students neaded for the dance floor. The band Easy Street per- formed a variety of songs and encouraged crowd participation and requests. Sophomore Col- leen Gibbons said, I thought the band played a lot of really good Couples Traveled With Mickey Mouse To Hawaii Florida? California? Although students may have felt they were walking into the castle at Walt Disney World or Walt Disney Land, it was only the en- trance of the high school. Decorated by senior parents, not only the inside of the school, but also the outside carried out the theme Mickey Mouse goes to Hawaii. After being greeted at the door by Mickey Mouse, couples entered a hallway that had been transformed into a strip resembl- ing little shops from Disney World. Complete with a candy shop, senior parents served the couples cotton candy and ice cream cones. Junior Christy Lammi remarked, T thought the decorations were great. It didn't feel like we were at the high school-it looked really different! Inside the gym, tables were set up with games of blackjack. Prizes were given throughout the night to couples witn the most winnings. To complete the night, an early breakfast was served. Plastic sand buckets, balloons and small table favors decorated each table. Parents acted as waiters and waitresses and served every couple. Students remained at the nigh school until 4:30 a.m. ONE IN A MILLION. Demonstrating the latest dance steps, graduate Stephanie Karabostas dances to the music of Easy Street Because Stephanie's date was from another school, she had to pay an extra $10 for her ticket. Student Life C9 Seniors Graduated With Ceremonial Pomp Though asserting an attitude that was full of trix , the graduating class of 1986 left in the traditional fashion. Beginn- ing the ceremonies. Bac- calaureate was held on Sunday featuring Congressman Ed Feighan as its key speaker. Graduate Allison Woodburn reminisced 'We had played in a state final soccer game earlier in the day in the biggest mud pit imagineable. Because I didn't want my car filthy, I made evryone strip down before get- ting in. We rushed all the way home sitting on plastic bags wearing nothing but blankets. I don't think I've ever gotten ready so fast in my life! Four days later, promenading to the tune of Pomp and Cir- cumstance , 261 graduating seniors filed into the commence- ment ceremony. Listening to fellow classmates,Emily Lauder- back and Tracy Williams, the graduates laughed and sometimes cried as they saw bits of their past school years in their speeches. Witnessing the graduation, junior Kelli Kitchen commented, It was so sad to see everyone receive their diplomas. I knew everyone was graduating and moving on, but the ceremony made it all seem so final. Later, the graduates attended After-Grad at the River Run Ra- quet Club. After a night of celebration, the party moved on to the school yard, setting up tents and kegs, and greeted the June July underclassmen returning to take final exams the next day. Summer Offered Students Escape from Routine Spring had sprung, now sum- mer's come. And did it ever! The last day of school, with a tropical temperature of 96 degrees foreshadowed the weather to come. Because of the sun, many students flocked to Huntington Beach. Amidst the blankets and radios, many students were found lathered with suntan oil capturing the Ohio rays. Senior Carolyn Fain remarked, After spending most of my summer in air conditioning, I decided I bet- ter grab a quick bronze look before my senior pictures, so off to the beach I went. Although most stayed home for the summer, family vaca- tions, summer camps, and A.F.S. foreign exchange trips claimed some. Only able to stand so much rest and relaxation, many were able to keep busy over the summer, either practicing for a fall sport, attending summer school, holding down a job, or working on the yearbook. Thus, the summer provided an escape for students, allowing them time to enjoy themselves without the pressures of school. POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE. With camera in hand, Mrs. Hebert con- gratulates her daughter, Heidi, after tne commencement ceremony. After spending the summer in Italy, Heidi continued her education at the Univer- sity of Michigan. SWINGIN' HIGH. Eagerly awaiting his ride on 'The Empire Express', sophomore Jim Perrine disobeys the rules and rocks the cart. This attraction was one of the favorites at Bay Days because of each car's ability to swing from side to side during the two minute ride. PROGRESS AT YOUR OWN RISK. With fear crossing his face, sophomore Pete Hanood peers into the doorway of the Haunted House at the Bay Days Fair. Inside, Pete encountered twisting doorways and trick mirrors. The Haunted House was disappointing though, lasting only two minutes. JUNE 8 SUNDAY Wearing the traditional blue and white caps and gowns, the former seniors promenade out of com- mencement with diplomas in hand. Though the junior National Honor Society members ushered them in- to the gym, the graduates had no trouble finding their way out. Culminating the festivites, NHS spon- sored a reception for the students and their families in the cafeteria. After say- ing their farewells to the administration, the graduates proceeded on to the River Run Racquet Club for their after-grad party. After 12 years of school, I felt so relieved to finally be done with it all. I don't think I've ever celebrated so much in my life. Now, I have to look on to my future and think about moving to Rocky River and attending college in the fall. The only things I'll really miss about school are my friends and all the memories. ” -Taylor La whom - M. Zukowski With tears in her eyes, graduate Melinda Wichman hugs her classmate after the Bac- calaureate ceremony. This year, Congressman Ed Feighan spoke to the seniors on the advantages of positive thinking; he also suggested tips for a successful future. '7 think that the service was really touching. Even though the speaker was Methodist, his message was well received by everyone. It allowed me time to reflect on all of the changes we were going through. -Melinda Wichman JUNE 12 THURSDAY JULY 23 WEDNESDAY Debating on an outfit for the first day of school, freshman Erica Boarman gets some early shopping done. Most students fre- quented the local shopp- ing malls, though going downtown offered the most variety. After taking the bus to Public Square, Erica and her younger sibl- ings spent the day brows- ing through May Co. and Higbee’s, charging all of their purchases to their father’s Master Card. For lunch, the Boarmans stop- ped at the Terminal Tower concourse. Coming from St. Raphael’s where I had to wear a uniform, I really had no idea what to wear the first day. I asked my sister for help picking out my wardrobe. I started shop- ping in July so I could beat the August rush. -Erica Boarman - M. Waither Student Life (J2) HEY, KOOL-AID! Catching the mid- afternoon rays, juniors Kim Weiss and Tammy Boehm stretch out during band camp. Tammy and Kim were both veteran marchers so they were able to skip rookie camp. ZZZ. Protecting her tan from the scorching August sun, freshman Gret- chen Knestrick covers herself with a sheet while relaxing at Huntington Beach. Gretchen enjoyed summer sports and tried out for the varsity swim team. •8) SHRINKING BAND PROJECTS BIG SPIRIT ABILITY Turning out in its depleted en- tirety, this year's marching band carried their infamous en- thusiasm to the first day of rookie camp. The incoming freshmen and new marchers were the first to witness the in- auguration of the new field com- manders. After try-outs in the spring, senior Dawn Vassar and sophomore Dena Mitchell took over the reins of the recruits. This was the first time in the history of the marching band to have two girls as commanders. Director Mr. Doug Day stated, We felt that Dawn amd Dena were the most qualified for the position. They were confident enough fulfill all of the duties ' The rookies were drilled — they marked time, learned com- mands, and were taught respect for the upperclassmen. When the veterans returned the next week, the freshmen were ex- posed to new harassments. On Freshmen Initiation Day, the newcomers were subject to be- ing wrapped up in electrical tape and covered with shaving cream. Freshman Chris Vargics explained, We knew it was all for fun. We were just proud to follow up in the tradition of all of the rookies before us. Every day, the mornings were spent learning new shows and routines. After lunch break, the sections broke up and memor- ized their music. At this time, the auxiliaries practiced their routines. Though it is a lot of hard work, most found ways to relieve themselves. Senior Mike Milbrandt commented, Every chance we got, we would run out to my van and relax while listening to music. Finally, they all straggled back after dinner for the final, wrap- up rehearsal. These were fre- quented by former, graduate marchers or just curious neigh- bors. Sophomore Joyce Manns said, It was so cool seeing all these people come to watch us. I felt kind of like it was my first performance of the season. After four weeks of a little bit of training and a lot of good times, the band carried memories of another successful camp with them into the football season. SHADES OF TALENT. Practicing in the August sun behind the middle school, senior Mike Sobczak plays through his first number. Mike played the tuba for two years. TAKE FIVE. Savoring her one-liter Diet Pepsi, junior Kelli Kitchen takes a break during summer Rockette prac- a half-time performance entitled Lullaby of Broadway. August V — S. Troia AUGUST 29 FRIDAY Mulling over their new schedules, freshmen Amy Stagneth and Tricia Skelly check the room numbers with the ones on their schedule. Veteran cheerleaders helped to lead the incoming freshmen through all of the corridors, allowing them a chance to gain con- fidence with their room assignments before the hectic start of school. My first impression of the high school was just total intimidation. I guess the orientation helped, but in a way it just helped to confuse me. It all seemed so big that I felt like I was just walking in circles. The only thing I could remember for the first day was that the 200 numbers were on the second floor. ■Amy Stagneth AUGUST 14 THURSDAY With the warm summer weather, flocks of students trooped to a variety of concerts at Blossom Music Center. Though mainly serving as a showcase for the Cleveland Orchestra, Blossom hosted more popular events, such as Eddie Murphy, Mister Mister, Neil Young, Moody Blues, Psychedelic Furs, Elton John, and the Beach Boys. Like all other years, Cleveland's premiere radio station, WMMS, spon- sored its Appreciation Day concert and invited in I NXS. Showing its gratitude to its fans for voting them once again the number one radio sta- tion in America, WMMS raffled out all of the tickets to its listeners. After sending in to WMMS, I waited everyday for tickets to come in the mail. Finally, I got six of them the day of the con- cert. I called my friends and we hopped right out there. ■Katie Scheid AUGUST 30 SATURDAY During the finals of the Challenge Cup Soccer Tournament over the Labor Day weekend, senior Julie Tomlinson keeps her eyes riveted on the ball while concen- trating on trapping it. Once again, Bay Village was host for the fifth an- nual tournament, inviting in a total of 45 teams. For the three-day event, Bay held parades, housed players, and turned out in the thousands to take on the role as spectators. Julie’s team, the Rowdies placed second in the 19 and under division. 11 When the tournament first started, they only spon- sored boys' teams so they used me as a ballgirl. The next year, I played and we lost every game. My family doesn't house visiting soc- cer players anymore, because, one year, I had this girl named Candy who made $50 worth of long- distance phone calls. This year, it got really hectic one day because I had two soc- cer games and one volleyball game, so we were constantly on the run.M -Julie Tomlinson Student Life Summer ends — Back to school! The first bell rang at 8:00 am, and everyone filed into their homerooms where schedules and newly-painted lockers were passed out. Freshmen tried to adjust to their new surroundings. Freshman Kim Gogul said, I was petrified! Sophomores, however, en- joyed their new status. Com- mented sophomore Elise Yun, It was great finally having peo- ple smaller than me. Junior Megan Smith summed up her first day, It didn't feel like the first day because we had a cross country meet after school. Seniors returned for the final time of this first day ritual. Senior Kim Rekstis said, It was weird realizing this was the year I graduate! Like the days to follow, the bell rang at 3:08 to signal the end of the day and the begin- ning of a new year. Intern 1,001 students file into the West Gym for the year's first pep assembly. Let's party! began M.C. Tom Germuska to kick off the assembly. He then introduced the first skit for the football team, a take off of the Three Little Pigs . The major event of this assembly was the Victory Cake Skit. Team captains for tennis, boys' and girls' cross country, golf, football, volleyball, and soccer each plac- ed in garbage cans and various ingredients were poured on them. Since they were such good sports about being made into cakes, each captain received a cake to share with his team- mates wishing them good luck during their season. Because there weren't any pep assemblies last year, this was the freshmen and sophomores' first taste of what one was like. Sophomore Mike Stoyko com- mented, I wish I could have been made into a cake and covered with flour and oil! I loved that skit! Robin Knutsen said, I thought it was hilarious, but per- sonally I would have killed someone if they did that to me! Though it got to be Quite messy with flour, eegs, and oil splasned all over Mr. Voiers' basketball court, the Rockettes performed right afterwards. Kim Weiss commented, I was afraid of falling and making a fool of myself because it was so slip- pery. If the person next to me nappened to slip, it would cause a cnain reaction of blue and white dominoes. Luckily, no one got hurt. The assembly closed with Mr. Kaiser's Ooh-aah Bird speech to psych the foot- ball team up to beat the Bulldogs! FISH CAKE. With a cringe, senior soccer captain Bill Fisher awaits the cold milk about to be poured by cheerleader Laura Rich. The cheerleaders wore their new raincoats to protect their uniforms. SHOWERING OFF. Juior Jenny Finely showers off the slimy flour, oil, and chocolate syrup that covered her after she was made into a cake at the Olmsted Falls assembly. Though her shirt cot very messy, she was able to get tne stains out with 'Clorox Prewash September SCRAMBLED? Joe Bernecker, member of the varsity golf team, can't help but crack a smile as 2 raw eggs drip down his face. M. Zukowski WATCH YOUR STEP! Gingerly stepping over the egg-covered floor, senior Michelle McLaughlin concen- trates on the timing of her routine. Though the freshmen cheerleaders mopped up most of the left-over cake ingredients, the Rockettes complained that it was still very slippery. SEPTEMBER 18 THURSDAY At Olmsted Falls, the freshman cheerleaders performed at their first high school football game. The eight-member squad had practiced since the middle of August and had mastered approximately 40 cheers; half were new to cheerleading and the others had been recruited from previous years. As with the JV and varsity cheerleaders, freshmen were also required to write essays detailing reasons SEPTEMBER 26 FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 27 SATURDAY On Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, a record made in Cleveland was entered into the Guiness Book of World Records. One and a half million balloons were released over Public Square. Students from Bay High went to the middle and elementary schools the week before to get the lit- why they wanted to be a cheerleader for their tryouts. “The game was really ex- citing for us because our team had never won as eighth graders. Our squad had practiced a lot so we felt well prepared for the game. The night before, we decorated pillowcases and dropped them off at each players' house to wish them good luck. I think they really appreciated it because it was different from toilet- papering or making cookies. Cheering at the high school is different from the middle school because there are a lot more rules restricting mounts and gymnastics. It's great to be able to cheer at away games and I liked working with the JV and var- sity squads. - S. Starr -Laura Ule To boost spirit for the Rocky River football game, the cheerleaders had a junker car towed in. Though they had planned to have the car smash for the Olmsted Falls game, the weather did not cooperate. Students paid one dollar for 5 hits. The football players really got into destroying the car. Some spent more than $10 hitting it. “I thought the car smash was a really good idea. My friends and I had a lot of fun demonstrating what we wanted to do to the Rocky River team. It really got us psyched for the game! I spent at least $10 on hits. It was worth it though because I got to keep the car's muffler as a souvenier! In fact, it’s still in my locker!’’ Mike Britton tie kids involved in this big event. “The kids got really ex- cited about buying balloons. It was a good way for us to get the kids from Normandy and Westerly involved in Laurie Wilder Week. It was neat to see people from Bay get involved in this event because it went to a very - T. Huntlif worthwhile cause. We earned over $1000 from students. The money made profited the Laurie Wilder Foundation and the United Way. It’s a great feeling to know that our efforts will help kids with Cystic Fibrosis. ” -Diana DiVenere Student Life We Raised $8500 For United Way Cystic Fibrosis 8,500 dollars would buy two Yugos, 4314 pairs of boxer shorts, or 13,281 cheeseburgers. This was the amount Bay Students raised to support United Way and The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Throughout the week, the Laurie Wilder Fellowship organized activities to raise funds for aiding the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the United Way. Laurie Wilder Week was named after the in- spirational former graduate who battled the disease. In her spirit, the students participated in a ac- tivities that generated money for the cause. Two thousand dollars was raised by the varsity foot- ball team by selling food at lunch periods and conducting a successful door-to-door cam- paign. Culminating the week's festivites, the Olympiad gave students a chance to express their class spirit. Dressed like the Blues Brothers, M.C.'s Chris Beckerman and Tom Germuska helped psyche up the crowd. Junior Frank Andorka com- mented, Even though I had to play in the jazz band, I still had fun rooting on the juniors. The seniors had a slow start, yet rallied to win Laurie Wilder Week with 1453 points. Even though the final goal was $10,000, and the students fell short by $1500, L.W. Treasurer Julia Lee remarked, The campaign was a success even though we didn't reach our goal — at least everyone put in their best effort. Thus, uniting together, the students show- cased Laurie's enthusiasm and topped last year's campaign with both money and spirit. The Seniors Were Thrashed 28-0 In Powderpuff Already burdenend with a seven point deficit, the seniors entered the stadium hoping to clinch a victory. Protesting the seniors' handicap, Anne Waters complained 'Sure, we had one illegal practice, but I don't think we should've lost points for it! Nevertheless, at the time of kick-off, the scoreboard read 7-0 in favor of the juniors. Immediately, the juniors took charge, scoring touchdown after touchdown. Junior quarterback Robin Dutton either handed off to running back Stephanie Van- Skoik, connected with wide receiver Christen Chadwick, or ran the ball herself. I think the main reason we won was that we were able to play as a team, remarked Dutton. On the senior side, even though a barrage of different of- fensive squads were fielded, none were able to rack up any points. Senior linebacker Ann Kraynak pointed out, We weren't prepared to play on such a sloppy field — it was a joke rather than a football game. I think that with a better field, we could have had a much more competitive game. Although the final score was 28-0, there were no hard feel- ings and both classes ex- emplified what Laurie Wilder Week is really about. GIVING A CHEER. Scrambling to pick up styrofoam squigglies, junior Tricia Waltz spurs on her classmates. The ob- ject of the 'Dry T-Shirt Contest was for each class to transport a pile of cur- ly Q's tucked in their shirts to a trash can across the gym. RING AROUND THE ROSY.

Starr OCTOBER 4 SATURDAY Rejoicing after yet another senior turn-over, junior defenseman, Jen- nifer Janik, calls on the of- fensive squad. Though they only held three prac- tices, the juniors learned enough about football to OCTOBER 2 THURSDAY Brainstorming for ideas, seniors Nancy Chang and Laura Serb make last minute plans for the Olym- piad. Laura Serb served as chairrhan of the Olympiad, delegating different duties to her committee. Each homeroom elected par- ticipants for the events with each donating $25. Though most of the plans knock out the more ex- perienced seniors. The of- fense scored all of the points, and the defense shut down the opponent’s offense. Unlike previous years, the competition between the classes re- mained sportsmanlike, and no flagrant violations occured. Though I played varsity volleyball, our coach allow- ed us to participate. The on- ly stipulation was that we weren't allowed to get hurt — like we wouldn't try to avoid it! -Jennifer Janik were made weeks ahead of time, inevitably, the final production crunch came just days before the assembly. On Friday, the Olympiad Committee began setting up in the gym at 8:00 AM and con- tinued decorating until the start of the assembly at 2:00 PM. “For the Olympiad, I was in charge of the lip sync competition. When they began my event, things started to get hectic. We started off with the freshmen, but by the time we got to the seniors, everyone came down out of the bleachers and time started to run out. Also, the classes started chanting and you could hardly hear the tape.'' -Nancy Chang Student Life October 14 Tuesday Look who purchased a Homecoming ticket! Senior Annie Walker adds junior Andy Dutton's name to the list of 175 students who bought tickets before the dance. Student Coun- cil representatives sold tickets during lunch periods for 10 dollars. The price of the tickets was reasonable, and I thought ‘Return to Gilligan's Island' was a really good theme for the dance. ___________-Andy Dutton M. Zukowski October 16 Thursday Suckers sold for 25 cents by sophomore Dana Marquard and junior Kelli Lintz helped to promote class spirit. Everytime a student purchased a sucker, they earned one point for their grade. Students who chose a sucker with a colored bot- tom received one free ticket for the homecoming football game. “We were desperate for an idea to promote class spirit, and selling suckers was the best we came up with. It worked out really well, though.” -Kelli Lintz S. Starr October Friday Showing their spirit, juniors Kim Ihms and Kathy Black cheer on their class during the North Olmsted pep assembly. Class events included a M. Zukowski body pass and male cheerleading competi- tions. Cheerleading cap- tains contacted the presidents of their class and instructed them to choose eight to ten boys to be on each squad. Deter- mined to win, the junior squad held extra prac- tices. Taking first place in the competitions, their hard efforts were rewarded. I loved seeing the guys dressed as cheerleaders because they wore those short skirts which gave the girls a chance to see their sexy legs.- .Kim lhms October MESSAGE BY MALE. With pom-poms held high, junior psuedo-cheerleaders Shawn Kelley, Shawn Davis and Matt Davis enter the pep assembly for their routine. The juniors paraded into the gym to the tune of Fanfare of the Common Man. HI, MOM! Perched atop the homecom- ing float, seniors Laurie Wendenhof and Lisa Niccolai wave to the crowd.

Diana was crowned by her neighbor, former king, Chris Ronayne. vain and Cindy Westervelt. After the assembly, senior Nan- cv Chang commented, It finally dawned on me that this was my last year at the high school and together with all of my friends.” One thing is for sure-watchine Gilligan's Island reruns will always brin back memories of this year s homecoming assembly. Gilligan Landed at Bay High FEELIN' BLUE. Waiting for his cue, senior Chris Beckerman surveys the activities of the pep assembly. Chris's duties as M.C. consisted of introducing the skits and motivating the crowd.

The various homecoming commit- tees then began preparing for the day of the dance. Members were assigned to make punch, cookies, and brownies. A trip downtown to Mutual Display to rent appropriate decorations was taken. The band Mixer was selected to perform, Hal Briggs was hired to take photos, and 100 leis were purchased as souvenirs for the senior girls. The expenses totaled in excess of 950 dollars. The day of the dance, members of Student Council began to work on decorating the school at 8:00 in the morning and remained until 3:30. That night, when students arrived at the dance, they notic- ed a drastic change in scenery. Illuminated waterfalls, palm trees, and village huts lined the the school halls. Don Waldroop remarked , I was amazed at how different the school looked decorated. I thought the band was really good and played a lot of older music.” Student Life 3® Were you one of the 650 underclassmen who had their picture taken? Once again Hal Briggs returned to the school to take an- nual mugshots. Organized by AFS, the scheduling ran very well. Picture day was most memorable for the unusually warm weather that day. Many students wore shorts and t-shirts, but brought a different outfit to change into before having their picture taken. I was really disappointed on picture day because I didn’t get a free comb like I used to get at the middle school.” ■Nikki Smith NOVEMBER TUESDAY NOVEMBER 21 Friday Should you be loyal to your state? ... Or go with the blue? Students had to make this choice as the famous Ohio State- Michigan football game neared. Siding with the wrong team could lose a friend or , in some in- stances , even lower a grade. But dedicated fans were not afraid to show their spirit by dressing in colors of their favorite team or in college sweats. On the day of the game, friends gathered together to watch the big event. Ex- citing until the very end, Michigan came out vic- torious, 26-24. While Michigan fans went off to celebrate, unhappy Ohio State fans began to look forward to next year to try once again. ”lt was a great game. Michigan had it all the way!” ■Kathy Bernecker NOVEMBER 28 FRIDAY On Thanksgiving, students were most grateful for having two days off from school. Over the four-day weekend, time was spent eating a big turkey dinner, talking with relatives, or travell- M. Zukowski ing. Students also had ex- tra time to spend with friends or get an early start on Christmas shopp- ing. Everyone appreciated their Thanksgiving vaca- tion and welcomed the four-day weekend. ”lt was a great time for me to catch up on sleeping, because I was really ex- hausted from school and basketball. ” -Christin Chadwick PSSST! Sophomore Jeni Bowles passes classmate Tru Sisson a note during the homeroom scene. Both sophomores made premiere performances as high school students in their first fall play. November SAY WHAT? Trying to influence Mike Sobczak's opinion, senior Missy McConnell explains the benefits of school. Playing the role of Miss Barrett, McConnell debuted as the leading actress. M. Zukowski M. Zukowski Failure to Yield the Right of Way Which way goes up? What about down? Well, the answers could be found by attending the fall play Up the Down Staircase. The play was directed by speech and acting teacher Mr. Ted Siller. Leads were played by seniors Missy McConnell, Mike Sobczak, and Jason Pott. The rest of the cast was composed of students from all four grades. The cast and crew began preparing a month in advance witn practices every day after school for two hours. Sophomore Amy Conklin com- mented, Practices were a pain, but it was worth it in the end. We all wished it wasn't over. She portrayed a typical high school snob. The play was about a new teacher adapting to the high school scene. Citizens Find Levy Taxing On November 4, the majority of voters in the community un- fortunately voted no for the school levy. The levy, w'hich in- creased taxes, was necessary to help schools pay for sports, clubs, field trips, and advanced placement classes. Because the levy had previously failed in August, a community challenge meeting was held in October to explain the needs of the system. CAUGHT IN THE ACT. Junior Tim Askin reprimands senior Mike Sobc- zak, the delinquent student in Uy the Down Staircase Sobczak, the president of Thespians, has appeared in eleven productions at the hign school. Designed to make students and community members aware of the ideas proposed in the new tax levy, the meeting was held by the Bay School Board. Speakers from the community commented on the advantages of the levy and the ways it would benefit students and the community. The day of the meeting, teachers encouraged students to attend the meeting to show their support. One of the students who did attend, senior Jim Dowling, commented, I at- tended the meeting to show my school spirit and enthusiasm for the future of Bay's school system. Unfortunately, the levy did fail and siens of cutbacks began immediately. Levy supporters planned a survey to poll com- munity reactions to tne school system and its programs. A Green-tree in the fall? Did you go to Greentree? This question was frequently asked in the hallways in early November. Students from Bay, Westlake, Rocky River, Avon Lake, and Lakewood met at Rocky River High School at 9:00 PM on Friday, November 7, and loaded into four ereyhound buses. An hour later, tney reach- ed their destination — the Greentree Inn, Sandusky, Ohio. The annual Young Life weekend provided time for students to make new friends, learn about Christ, and have a lot of fun. Junior Brooke Zitzman, who has gone to Greentree twice, said, 1 met so many people, and it gave me a chance to get away from my parents. It was a lot of fun and a great experience. Student Life The Yearly Christmas Rush Started Every year, Christmas decora- tions seem to pop out earlier and earlier. This year stores set out candy canes, snowmen, pictures of Santa and his reindeer, and even Christmas trees at the beginning of November, before Thanksgiving! Though some people enjoy buying Christmas presents, there are others who dread the holiday season. I hate shop- ping! I always wait until the day before Christmas to eet it over with. Everyone calls me a Scrooge, but, if I could I would order everything from a catalog! said senior Jason Johnson. The Choirs took the Stage Although chorus practice began on the first dav of school, practice for the Christmas con- cert started in October. At first, practice was really easy, but, about a week before the concert, Mrs. Hanson took away the chairs, commented junior Stephanie Vanskoik. A few days before, the group held a dress rehearsal. For the actual performance, the girls' chorus took the stage first. The freshman chorus came next, followed by the concert choir and the choraleers. The acapella choir, made up of a select group of singers, then sang carols while standing in the shape of a Christmas tree and holding lighted candles to represent the ornaments. For the finale, Mrs. Hanson then called up the alum- ni choir to sing the Hallelujah Chorus . Junior Sheridan Pagan said, We put a lot of work into the performance and it really paid off. The only difference from last year's concert was that the show choir didn't perform because they didn't have enough time to rehearse. PARTYING IT UP. At the 2nd annual New Year's Eve party, sophomores celebrate as they bring in 1987. Bay High Brought in the New Year Two bands were set up in the East gym. There kids could dance to the great music. At midnight, confetti came down and Baby New Year, played by Scott Anderson, came out of Mr. Scott's office. The West gym was open and students could play virtually any sport they wanted. Movies were snown in the back of the auditorium while those who got hungry could get free food from the concession stand. Key club, T.I., the Laurie Wilder Fellowship, FCA and C.A.R.E. all sponsored this non-alcoholic approach to New Years. Each group had its special part in organizing the party. It was a good way to spend New Year's Eve. We all had lots of fun. It was worth all of the effort everyone put into it. said junior Jennifer Willis. WAITING TO TAKE THE STAGE. Before their December 16th Christmas concert, freshman Carri Kikol and sophomores Amy Caldwell and Jackie Rekstis discuss last minute details about the performance. December THAT SPECIAL GIFT. While shop- pine for Christmas presents, freshman Madeline Reed looks at the Higbee's downtown store. The whole store was filled with holiday decorations. ROCK 'N ROLL. On New Year's Eve, Mark Tumnev accompanies the band You Tell Me. Mark has been playing the bass for 4 years. — M. Zukowski Early in the morning, the Red Cross Blood- mobile pulled into Bay High School. Its volunteers were ready to collect blood from students to help people in the Cleveland area who desperately needed it. The project was sponsored by the Student Council so members helped the Red Cross register donors, take temperatures, and sit with the donors to make sure they were okay after they gave blood. At first I wanted to chicken out, but then I got the guts up to do it. It didn't hurt when they put the nee- dle in my arm; it just felt un- comfortable. It seemed to take a million years to fill a bag up. The only person I saw who got sick was Scott Loomis. He fainted because he had to carry all of the blood people gave out to the truck. -Brenda Harris DECEMBER FRIDAY To celebrate the beginn- ig of Christmas vacation, le yearbook homeroom had a tacky gift exchange. Everyone brought in one tacky gift and all of the gifts were shoved under the tree. Here, Scott Troia, dressed for the holidays, fights with Carolyn Fain over one of the gifts. One of the gifts was a Partridge Family album. Jill Carsten got a Raggedy Anne kaleidoscope. It was just the coolest thing! I got a pez machine with a whistle on top! -Carolyn Fain — M. Zukowski — M. Zukowski Student Life DECEMBER FRIDAY At the Avon Lake basketball game, senior Jim Dowling, better knowr as Bubbles” led the fans in cheering for the Rockets. The following Monday, Jim received a pass to report to the of- fice. There, Mr. Loomis told him that because of his obnoxious behavior at the game, the administra- tion felt it was best for him to not attend anymore basketball games. Feeling that this treatment was unfair because others were involved, senior Bill Hartranft wrote a 'paragraph about what had happened along with a petition to get Bubs back and hung it on the Student Activities Board. A few days later, the petition was taken down. Senior Joe Bernecker along with junior Bob Reed then got the idea to hand out fliers using Bub's senior picture. After missing only two basketball games, Bubs was back. The administra- tion let Jim return as long as he promised to promote Bay in a positive way. Half of the campaign was done as a rebellion against the administration because we thought the punishment for what Bubs did was too harsh, especial- ly when other people were doing the same thing. He only had to miss a few games, so I guess the cam- paign was a success! Just in case Mrs. Dowling reads this, your son didn’t do anything, I swear! -Bob Reed DECEMBER 15 MONDAY 7fla©QQ Genesis Invisibly Touched Its Fans Genesis songs were in the air the night of the Invisible Touch concerts at the Coliseum in late January. Originally scheduled to perform only one night, the band added two extra performances to accommodate the number of fans who wished to attend. Because of the Super- bowl, the concert was post- poned for one hour on Sunday, the opening night. The band performed for two and a half hours each night and played a variety of old and new songs. During the second en- core, Genesis played a variation of Turn it On with excerpts of older songs by the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. It was a great way to end a great con- cert, remarked Julie Tomlinson. Concert souvenirs were sold for prices ranging from $3 for a button to $35 for a sweatshirt. By the second night, concession stands had already sold out of certain items. Whether students bought a souvenir or not, this was a concert that they would not forget. Broncos Bit Dogs Look who almost made it to the Superbowl . . . those bad, bad Cleveland Browns. Unfor- tunately, the Browns were leash- ed by the Denver Broncos in overtime. Although the Browns were winning in the fourth ?|uarter, the Broncos scored a leld goal to tie the game. Going into overtime, the Browns had THAT SPECIAL TOUCH. The day after attending the Invisible Touch concert, junior Mike Smith wears a Genesis t- shirt. Mike purchased the shirt for $17. possession of the ball. Unable to move the ball far enough down the field, the offense was forced to punt. After receiving the ball, the Broncos worked their way down the field. Once into field goal range, they kicked the win- ning goal ana won by three points, 23-20 Getting into the full Browns fever the day of the game, students either went to the stadium or had Browns parties at home. Senior Tom Germuska commented, I watched the game at Krissy Baird's house. I was all decked out with dog biscuits and a rubber dog nose. The cheering in her basement was louder than some basketball ames. I loved it, even if my eart was shattered that we lost. — M. Zukowski THE DAWG DAYS OF WINTER. Senior Chris Beckerman cheers on the dawgs during the final quarter of the Cleveland-Denver football game. This all-senior party was held at Krissy Baird's house. January JANUARY 19 MONDAY Students did not have school In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. on January 19. Although most holidays are spent relaxing or engaging in fun-filled activities, on this day the majority of students prepared for semester ex- ams. Having the day off was a blessing for those who waited until the last day to cram for tests. I went to the library to study for finals, because I knew I wouldn't get anything done if I stayed at home. ■Scott Anderson Having Friday off, students spent the day completely different than the free day on Monday. After three hectic days of exams, students enjoyed themselves and did not worry about school. Men- tally fatigued, students JANUARY 23 FRIDAY chose relaxing activities like a movie, shopping, or sleeping. “After a difficult week of studying for exams, I thought a movie would be fun and relaxing. -Kelli Flanagan — M. Zukowski — M. Zukowski SHEAR EFFORT. Preparing for midterm exams, seniors Craig Murray and Chris Shear attempt to study. Because they graduated before finals week, these ex ams were the last hour and a half tests that they took. JANUARY 26 MONDAY “Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow”. Although no one sang this song aloud, many members of ski club felt this way. Ski club pro- vided fun and memorable times for the 95 students who joined. On five Mon- days in January and February, students rode 45 minutes on greyhound busses to Boston Mills. Once they arrived, students who needed to rent skis did so, and lessons were offered to those who wanted to take them. Called off the slopes at 8:15 p.m., students were allowed to ski about four hours each time. Ski club provided members with exercise and exciting entertainment. “This year was my first time skiing. My friends and I all joined as beginners and took the classes. I was kind of scared at first, but in the end, I had a great time. -Karin Cass — S. Starr Student Life UP, UP.

This year, Rich and MJ Ball ex- perienced becoming them. Their family moved here from England in 1973 when their father was transferred. '7 had to become a U S. citzen in order to receive an ROTC scholarship for col- lege. It was really no big deal though, because I feel like an American since I've lived here so long. -Rich Ball — M. Zukowski FEBRUARY 7 SATURDAY On Saturday mornings, close to 80 students play in the Bay Recreational Basketball League. There are eight teams that play from 8 a.m. until 12 with four games per morning starting every hour on the hour. The 9 12th grade age group started only 4 years ago, but it is doubt- ful that it will survive another year because of a majority of senior players. Our team did really well in the regular season but lost in the first round of the playoffs. The teams are ar- ranged by the skill of the players. Bay Rec puts a few good, medium, and not so great players on every team, so the games are pretty fair. I’ve been playing rec hoops for 9 years, but I like the high school level the best because their is a lot more freedom. ■George Alderdice FEBRUARY 25 WEDNESDAY At 4 p.m., burning clothes in a dryer of the school’s laundry room caused several students involved in afterschool activities to evacuate the building. Fortunately, damage was minimal. “We were in the middle of track practice when the alarm went off. At least Mr. Kaiser would let us leave tAV C. Manning Snoball's Not a Total Fairy Tale Once upon a time . . . 247 semi-formally clad couples at- tended the Snoball dance on Valentine's Day. Like each year, the responsibility of asking dates fell upon the girls. They were then obligated to purchase a $12 ticket, dinner for two, and a boutonniere. Junior Kristen French added, None of the people 1 went with wanted to drive, so we rented a limousine. It cost us an extra $45 a piece, but this wav, we were able to relax and talk to each other in- stead of driving in separate cars. When the time neared 9:30, most of the couples started to ar- rive. Immediately, they were engulfed in a fairy tale setting. Earlier, Key Club nad decorated with a castle, a clock, and glass slippers filled with candy hearts. Fighting through waves of pink and blue balloons, couples found their way to the cafeteria where the band Challenger rocked them for three and a half hours. Senior Heather McNaught remarked, I've never seen a dance with so many people before. The hostili- ty provoked at claiming balloons amazed me. I must've had nine stolen three different times. Finally, I left without one. As the clock struck midnight, the underclass couples headed for home, while the others look- ed for alternative nocturnal an- tics. Most headed off with groups to parties, either at FULL OF HOT AIR With cheeks puffed, freshman Tibet Lash contributes to the pre-Snoball decorating. These blue, pink, and silver balloons had to be half inflated to fit in the showcases. houses or at hotel rooms. Senior Ben Daniels admitted, When I left for the dance, I wasn't given a curfew; in fact, my dad tola me not to come home! Staying out for most of the night, senior Meredith Walther added, Afterwards, I went to my friend's date's house where we partied all night in the jacuzzi — wearing shorts and T-shirts, of course ' Yet, unlike the usual fairy tale with its quaint happy ending, this fairy tale endea unhappily. Flagrant alcohol abuse was evi- dent at the dance, and the ad- ministration threatened the future of all upcoming dances. Valentine Flowers Showered Students Valentine's Day arrived one day early for students as AFS held i|s annual carnation sale of red, white, and blue flowers. Sold for $1 each the week before Valentine's Day, the flowers were delivered on Friday the 13th. Receiving flowers oh this day gave even the most superstitious person a reason to look forward to going to school. When students purchased the flowers, they could write a message to be sent along with the flower. Red flowers left students smiling, white flowers strengthened friendships, and blue flowers left students wondering. Becky Snevel remarked, T love sending the flowers, but on the morning that they are distributed, I'm always afraid that 1 won't get any! That's the only thing that I don't like about the carnation sales- some people get an entire bou- quet, while others don't get any. Student Life — M. Zukowski s Da©fla Anything went last March With a cast of 70 people, the characters of Anything Goes began rehearsal. This became very chaotic because no one knew how to tap dance. Everyone had to learn in just a little over three weeks. Laura Noss com- mented, ''Practices often lasted until almost 11:30 p.m. on school nights, but it was well worth it! The play was about the character Billy, played by graduate Scott kern, stowing away on an oceanliner heading for England so he can be with the woman he loves, Hope (Caitlin Miessan). But, she is on trip with her fiance Sir Evelin (Hank Unger) and his mother (Becky Carson). The plot thickens when Moonface (Karl Hansen), a gangster disguised as a missionary, comes aboard and helps Billy hide. The set this year was much more complicated than the one for Damn Yankees because it had two levels with stairs leading to the top plat- form. It looted like the two levels of an oceanliner's deck where people walk around on a cruise. ANCHORS AWAY. Junior Dave Steckel waits for the music to play before beginning his dance routine. After many long practices, the cast learned how to tap dance. WALKING ON SUNSHINE. Por- traying the wealthy Sir Evelin, fraduate Hank Unger smiles at haron Perrine and Karl Hansen.

Metallic Shoes .. Peace March .. Bows and Banana Clips .. The Coffin in the Showcase .. Renaissance Fayre TIPS'TRENDS'TRIVIA BACK TALK Two completely different styles of footwear were on most students’ shopping lists this year. First of all. Bluchers, which could be worn by both guys and girls, were brown, comfortable, sturdy, and versatile shoes. First sold by L.L Bean, they took the school by storm. Junior Christy Buchta said. I don’t know how I survived before I got them (Bluchers)! I wear them all the time.’’ One of the first guys to buy these shoes was junior Matt Davis. He said. I think that they're better than the dreary, over-used docksides. I needed a change. Senior Laura Phillips added. They (Bluchers) go perfectly with any casual prep look, hence their popularity at Bay High School. Besides, they're very comfortable! The only problem is that there is a real con- troversy over how to tie the laces. Personaly, I butchered mine (laces) so they're real short. Nevertheless, not all students wanted to rush out to the mall and purchase a pair of Bluchers. Sophomore Ryan Foley said. I wouldn’t buy them! Besides Bluchers, metallic shoes, especially silver, were a popular item with girls. The various styles made them more personalized than Bluchers, which looked basically the same no matter what brand they were. Owner of a pair of silver loafers, freshman Tricia Skelly said. I like them because they sparkle and they reflect my personality. However, freshman Dan Dockrill said. I think that silver shoes look kind of dumb and they're too gaudy. Neither of these new styles have replaced the old standby — tennis shoes. Next year will tell which was a fad and which was a fashion. - M. Zukowski TAKE A LOOK! As she waits for the driver's lab car. and her instructor Mr Rogers, sophomore Amy Gerbick peers into |anitor Jeff Kocella's hearse The hearse was grey with cream colored curtains. WHO DIED? CRAFTY CREATIONS Bracelets made from embroidery floss were a new type of ac- cessorie found around students’ wrist’s this year. There were numerous different styles, but none of them had any specific name, just this way, or that way. Those who went to Saranac, a Young Life camp, came back last summer and taught their bracelet-making skill to others. Junior Joan Thain said, I learned how to make string bracelets in the summer, from the Saranac people, before they (bracelets) got really popular. When I came to school all the freshman had them — it was embarrassing. Girls weren't the only ones wearing string bracelets — guys were too. Senior Jason Pott said. Someone just put one on my wrist and I liked it. so I'm going to leave it there until it falls off. It looks nice if you don’t wear too many of them. CONCENTRATION! Paying dose at- tention to her work, sophomore Dena on a string No. no one died, but there was a hearse in the parking lot. Janitor Jeff Kocella bought it for $75 in Olmsted Township during the summer. He said. I’ve always wanted a hearse. Everyone either likes it or gives me funny looks. Some people don’t even want to get near it. I’ve been asked if anyone is in there and why I bought it several times. I might even buy another one if the price is right! Sophomore Megan Barnard was one student who gave Kocella's hearse a “funny look. She said, It's pretty bogus! Senior Marty Burchaski agreed with her. I wouldn't want to drive or ride in something that dead people have been in. It’d be kind of scary.” It’s ugly and creepy looking. How anyone can drive something like that — it’s had dead people in it! said senior Chris Stoyko. On the other hand though, junior Sarah Kirby liked it. She said. I think it's great. I’d love one! I think that everyone should have one. I'd like to get one myself, but one with less holes in it, added junior Steve Sink. Freshman Kirsten Fawcett add- ed, I think that it's cool looking, but I can’t picture a janitor driving it; there were dead people in it who have germs and janitors are supposed to be clean since they clean the school. It’s got character, though. Junior Kurt Tarkany commented.“I want to know if he sleeps in there. No, he doesn’t. He just drives it.

Zukowski PEACE MARCH Imagine giving up financial security, and leaving friends and family behind, all to walk across America with a group of virtual strangers to promote global nuclear disarmament. This was what over 700 idealists known as the Peace Marchers did for nine months. This historical event, known as the Great Peace March, passed through Bay in September on the way to Washington D.C. Senior Tim Brumbach, who travel- ed 1800 miles on his motorcycle to be with the marchers, said. There was no pressure, no nine to five routine — we were all one big fami- ly with one view towards war. However, freshman Madeline Reed said, It's a good cause, but you wouldn't get me to walk that far! The march concluded on Nov. 15 with several rallies in front of Washington buildings. MARK MY WORDS! Marcher Mark Naime explains the goals of the Peace March to a journalism class. The Marchers camped at Edgewater Park that weekend. A SOMBER SCENE Death — it's not usually thought of. However, last May. death came to the main showcase in the form of a coffin. It was placed there with beer cans, streamers, and conferti. Above this display was the question. Why be mourning the morning after? . This referred to the possible effects of drinking and driving. Teen Institute adviser Mrs. Manke said.

Gag gifts — those presents that are fun to give, but not so fun to receive. Junior Emily Shufeldt's birthday didn't pass by without her getting a gag gift from seniors Geoff Levenberg. Brett Householder. Rod Schwartz, and Trent Miller. They gave her a television-size box full of newspaper and useless presents such as pipe fittings, a mat- ching set of paint stirrers, and a doll with its arm broken off. Shufeldt said. It was funny, but I was pretty embarrassed; I hope that they never do that to me again! Said Levenberg. Save the newspaper and the tape! My dad wants them back! Well, don’t worry Emily, sophomore Lorie Clash was a victim of the same kind of present. Among her gifts were a playgirl puzzle, and some slime. It’s a tradition now. said Miller.

She didn’t have bows or banana clips to style her hair. Banana clips resembled a banana with teeth. Made from plastic, they ranged in color and price. They created a fancier ponytail for the wearer. Contrary to popular opinion, sophomore Myndi Bohrer said, ‘‘1 think that they’re stupid, ugly and trendy.’’ Hair bows, popularized by Sarah Ferguson, were hair clips with ribbon bows fastened on top.

Loomis said, A company came along with a good offer, and Pd gotten requests for something besides Pepsi.” Even though the juice cost 10-20 cents more than pop, students welcomed the new addition.

ARTIST AWARDS Although earning a credit in the arts was torture for some, others excelled in this area. Freshman Andy Augustine and senior Traci Folkman were chosen as finalists in the 1987 Regional Scholastic Art Awards Exhibition. Folkman’s tempura painting titled “Cubistic Mask” and Augustine's pastel, “Untitled,” were sent to New York City to compete nationally. Seniors John Demitrus, Terrilynn Mamasis, Chris Shear, Sallie Glover and Dina Schuster, juniors Jim Coleman and Jim Popernack, and sophomores Mara Manke and Jason Stabler, received gold keys as awards for their artwork.

Jolt tasted just like regular pop, and as the Jolt Company printed on the can, it was “inspired by the need for a better tasting soft drink.” While Jolt often helped students to keep alert, others preferred coffee. Senior Jenny Broberg commented, “I need all the caffeine I can get, but I’d rather drink coffee. It’s O.K. as a substitute once in a while, though.” Student Life Magazine TIPS TRENDS TRIVIA BACK TALK DREAMOFF EARNS LOYAL FANS The Dreamoff — the ultimate ice cream eating contest. Founded by junior Matt Davis, a simple trip to the Olde English Ice Cream Parlor in Avon Lake became a weekly competition. The Dreamer ice cream dish consisted of nine flavors of ice cream plus toppings. Each team of two, bought one dreamer and every per- son contributed one dollar to the pot which averaged ten dollars. The only rules were that a spoon had to be used until the ice cream melted enough to be slurped up. In other words, touching the ice cream was not allowed. The average consumption time was one minute thirty seconds. The team of juniors John Flynn and Keith Dando were two time champions and Davis and junior Jim Campo won once. Campo and Davis commented, “John Flynn was always a constant threat, but our determination to take away the crown and win twelve dollars was the key factor in this upset.” Move over all-you-can-eat sundaes — here comes the Dreamer. — M. Zukowski THE THRILL OF VICTORY? Still drooling ice cream, junior Bob his Dreamer and raises his arms to signal he’s done. Bob’s team lost and Jim Campo in a close match. Reed finishes to Matt Davis mented, “We participated in Hands Across America because we wanted to be on TV and to help the human race.” Hands Across America’s pur- pose was to raise money for the U.S.’s hungry and homeless. In order to get a reserved spot in line, it cost between $10-$35, depending on what extras were also purchas- ed, such as T-shirts. The chain not only consisted of ordinary citizens, but stars like Bill Cosby, Lily Tomlin, and Kenny Rogers took an active part in the orgainization and execution of the project. Although the school did not get directly involved, several students joined the line anyway. Senior Emily Colby said, I just wandered out to Lake, since I live right by there, and there was a gap so 1 hopped in. We didn’t sing the Hands Across America song, though. Some guy had a radio and we just listened to the different announcements. I’m glad I participated since it was a historic event, but if I had to of paid ten bucks, I doubt that I would’ve joined.” LENDING A HAND!

I m still not quite sure that very many ex- citing things happened this year. I guess I'm just a hard person to convince. Most of what you've told me before is what happened during the school day; what happened on Friday nights, Saturdays, and many nights during the week? Ever hear of sporting events, Bud? Where have you been, under a rock or something? Anyhow, it all depends on the season that you're talking about. Give me a season, any season, but it's got to be either fall, winter, or spring. Hmmm ... decisions, decisions. Ok, how about fall? Ah, a good choice. Fall, or otherwise known (though no one seems to know why) as the Fall Follies, has a multitude of possibilities. What are you talking about? Forget it. Now, pick a sport. Here's where the fun comes in. There's football, soccer, girls' tennis, cross- country, ... I could go on .... I'm getting so confused! How about football? Freshmen, JV, or varsity? Why don't you just show me? After dodg- ing an oppo- nent, a member of the freshman football team runs downfleld with the ball in a touchdown attempt.

Division Touching All Bases So Close, but yet so far!” In the regional semi-final game of the state tournament, the Rockets dropped a 4-3 decision to Benedictine , thus ending their successful campaign. The team, however, capped off a 20-6 season with a conference championship. After dropping their opening game to non-conference power Brush, the Rockets went on a raging winning streak, taking 16 of their next 18 contests. The squad swept through the first half of the SWC slate spor- ting an unscathed 7-0 mark. Seniors Doug Janison, Alan Mavis, and Mark Nelson per- formed extremely well in their starting roles, with the latter two receiving second team all- SWC honors. The most beneficial aspect of the team was the pitching staff. The main hurlers were graduates Ken Ritter, Scott Shallcross, Pat Henneberry, and senior Scott Loomis. The combination of Ritter’s pit ching record and the power of his big bat earned him SWC Most Valuable Player honors. Janison, senior third baseman, commented, The main reason for our success was the fact that we functioned as a single unit. If someone was having a bad game, another person would always step in and pick up the slack. The junior varsity baseball team ran off four victories in their last five contests to finish with a 14-11-1 record. After punishing Westlake 15-2 in the season finale, the team landed in second place in the SWC with a 9-4-1 con- ference mark. Steve Kantra, junior first baseman said, We played bet- ter as a team because we got to know each other a lot better since our freshman year. Our attitude improved a lot and we also benefited from good coaching. The frosh squad posted an impressive 7-3-1 mark on the year under the instruction of coach Doug Borchert. Freshman pitcher, Pete Beurmann claimed, Our team had a lot of talented players and we fared well. I think we can only get better next year. LINE DRIVE.

The softball team cer- tainly did get it with a 13-4-1 overall record, 10-3 in the SWC, and a second place finish. The only conference losses were to Rocky River, the SWC champs, with identical scores of 0-1; and Medina, 1-8. The wins included an impressive shut-out of Olmsted Falls, 23-0. Junior first baseman Christy Buchta reflected, The team had more unity than I’ve ever seen in any sport. We all en- couraged each other; we wanted to win for ourselves as well as for our coach. Even though it was only a second-year team, great im- provements were made in a single season, including break- ing almost all records from the 1985 season. Pitcher Christin Chadwick gained valuable ex- perience in the team's in- augural season and continued to improve. The team consisted of many strong players, catcher Lisa Blomstrom and Chadwick, both made the AII-SWC first team. Junior shortstop Robin Dutton and senior centerfielder Jenny Harris were named to AII-SWC second team, while senior Katie Shied was placed on the SWC scholastic team. Another returnee posted im- pressive statistics. Sue Myers, whose consistency and im- provements included a 100% fielding average, lead the team in RBI’s, doubles, and triples. Newcomers Erin Plasterer, Julianne Plzak, Beth Way and Liz Henneberry rounded out the line up. Because of the rising popularity of softball at Bay High, a junior varsity team was formed. There were approx- imately 20-25 girls who went out for the squad. Coached by history and sociology teacher, Rick Gaul, they finished the season with a 3-15 record.

With seventeen junior letter winners competing, it could be stated that youth was the backbone for the boys’ suc- cess. With the exception of graduate distance runner, Joel Aldridge, the junior class held team bests in eight events. Senior hurdler Alan Trask said, Having so many younger kids run didn’t bother me at all. There weren’t too many up- perclassmen competing, and it just so happened that the underclassmen became the most productive members. The primary performer was junior, Greg Baumhauer. Greg competed in four events along with two relay races, and usual- ly won most of them. He qualified for the 100 and 200 meter dashes up through regionals, and tallied up a team leading 180.50 meet points. Junior, running mate, Brett VanCleave commented on his partner and friend, He’s really great to compete against; he's so quick. He’ll have no problem winning races in the years to come.

Graduate high jumper Lisa VonGlahn and junior weight’men’ Nancy Svec, both consistently placed for the Lady Rockets. The relays proved to be a learning experience for the whole team. Seventh place seemed to be the holding spot. They held this spot in both the Comet and Rocket Relays with 48 and 25 points respectively. In the SWC meet they earned 59 points which resulted in fifth place. Jenny Finley, junior hurdler commented. I felt that we could have won the SWC, but overall we did well as a team, especially as the year progressed.” i Love Isn’t Enough A young girls’ team compiled an impressive 20-1 record while capturing the SWC championship. Their only loss came in the Ohio Coaches Ten- nis tournament against Akron Firestone. In district play, sophomore Kelli Flanagan met and defeated sophomore teammate Beth Way in the final round. In doubles, sophomore Kendall Dwyer and freshman Katie Rossborough suffered an upset in the final round at districts to the North Olmsted team. Dur- ing the season, Bay’s duo beat the Eagles three out of four times. The Rockets also com- peted in the Medina Doubles Classic. Way and Flanagan teamed up to capture a first place in the first doubles divi- sion by defeating the Medina doubles team that later made it to the State tournament. Way commented, “They were really good. Kelli and I communicated well. We didn’t think about win- ning. I was surprised when we ended up winning.” Competing within their own conference, they went undefeated in season play and held 34 out of 35 points at the SWC tournament. Although the boys' team was not as successful as their counterparts, they still had a progressively Improving season. The boys placed third in the SWC and were lead by graduates, Tim Haley, Jim Flanagan, and Mac Bullock. Certain wins were more signifi- cant to the players, as they im- pressively defeated Rocky River and Lorain. It’s been 12 years since such a feat has been accomplished.

The summit was within reach for the varsity squad, but they fell a mere three games short of the state championship. Their 14-2-2 regular season record showed the team's great success, but the landmark of the year came from beating North Olmsted two times. The fact that they hadn't achieved a victory against the Eagles in seven years coupled with North Olmsted’s status as defending state champions brought the Rockets recognition in GSA To- day. Commenting on this im- pressive feat, senior Mike Foster said,“It was pretty in- credible that we beat North Olmsted twice this year con- sidering that they hadn’t lost a regular season game in three years. It was Bay’s first win against them in seven years.” The Rockets’ only two losses were a 6-2 setback against the Eagles in the teams’ First meeting of the year and a 2-1 loss to Rocky River. The team suffered a letdown and was caught off guard by the Pirates as they came off the first emo- tional victory over North Olmsted. No one expected the team to go all that far in the state tour- nament. Maybe a win or two, then they’d bow out against North Olmsted. Such was not the case. After manhandling Lakewood and squeaking past North Ridgeville, the stage was set for a rematch with the Eagles. The Rockets proved that the first victory was no fluke as sophomore Terry Bar- chanowicz drilled home the game winner to seal the 4-3 overtime victory. The next game against North Royalton turned out to be a heartbreaker, though. After four quarters of regulation, two periods of over- time, and two shootouts, North Royalton escaped with a 12-11 triumph. Junior Mark Robinson summed up the most emo- tionally intense game in Bay soccer history by saying, The sad thing about that game is that I really feel that we had better skills than they did. They just seemed to play a more physical game than us, and that made the difference. The junior varsity team finished with a successful 13-3- 1 record. Sophomore Pat Jones set a school record by scoring 20 goals for the season, which included a five-goal perfor- mance against Westlake. Look- ing back on the year, junior co- captain Doug Eckert said.“I think we had a really good season on the whole. Our main strength was that we showed a lot of teamwork and worked well together.” Bay sports fans can only smile and think of all of the ex- citement that the team gave us when recalling the season. So, thank you to all of the players, coaches, and fans that made this season the great one that it was. — S. Starr — M. Zukowski — — GOOD HEADER.

Fall Sports FALLnn — FOLtlCS - Just Steps Away Not only did the cross coun- try team compete in a difficult conference, but they also battl- ed with the graduation of the awesome runner, Joel Aldridge. Joel led the Rockets in every competition in his years at Bay High. The slack was soon pick- ed up as the team was led by senior Charlie Rote, the only senior on the squad. The younger members soon picked up the pace, and pushed on to a 5-2 season and a third in the SWC. A hip-pointer injury kept junior John Flynn from com- peting in conference play which could have improved the Rockets record. John said, It was really disappointing. I missed my personal goal of go- ing to State. However, I'm bet- ter now and am looking forward to next season.” Banking on previous suc- cessful seasons, and the return of most of the team, the Lady Harriers went into the SWC with high hopes. A strong sum- mer workout program planned by English teacher, coach Joe Knap put most of the girls in good shape. Junior Lee Furber said, I felt I was in good shape because I started running early, and it paid off pretty well.” The girls were paced by the running tandem of juniors Lee Furber and Gretchan Zahnow for most of the season. Only Avon Lake stopped the Rockets from posting a undefeated conference record in a hard-fought battle. In the SWC meei however, the duo slacked off which resulted ina third place finish. None of the girls placed high enough to compete beyond districts, but graduation will play no part on the squad since there were no seniors. Once again for next year the same philosophy will be stressed: Practice Hard and Don’t Quit. SPLISH-SPLASH. Trudging through the mud, sophomore Charlie Braun sets his own pace.

One success that did exist was senior co-captain Tricia Wysong being presented with the SWC All-Academic Team Award. With six returning varsity players, there were high hopes for success. The team began offical practices in August. Senior co-captain Julie Tomlin- son commented, “After last year’s disappointing season, we were really ready to turn our record around.

One of the few events that prevented the season from be- ing a total loss was the victory in the first confrontation against Olmsted Falls, 15-6,15- 12. We were shocked. Our hard work finally paid off, said Nancy Svec. Svec possessed one of the highest serving percentages attaining 90% ac- curacy in a loss against St. Augustine. In the match against the Bulldogs junior Jennifer Janik served the 7 aces, the most in a match. Following the long-awaited victory, a series of problems developed. The team wasn't practicing well and people weren't getting along. Becky Snevel commented, Everyone just got on everyone else’s nerves, thinking that someone wasn’t trying as hard as they should. Practice became more of a chore than something we liked doing. That’s not what sports are about. Bay’s sectional tournament participation was short-lived, losing to Lorain Sr. in the first round. The Junior Varsity had a lit- tle better season with the help of their new coach, Gail Schuh. The J.V.’s victories included one against Rocky River, 14- 16,15-5,15-13. Sophomore captain Jeanne Booth reflected. We strengthened as a team and played together well, but our record didn’t show it. I think next year’s season will be better because we have a lot of potential and a number of strong players. Despite the efforts of both the varsity and the JV teams, the season’s accomplishments by the end of October fell short of their expectations at the beginning of July.

Opposing defenses had trouble with the task of keeping up with junior Mike Reynolds and stopping sophomore Eric Shank who had the best hands on the team. The team's outstanding defense was led by sophomore lineman Brad Buescher and junior defensive backs Dan Sabre and Steve Karl.

The team's 3-3-1 record looked outstanding after not winning a game their eighth grade year. Quarterback Jeff Johnson and teammates Scott Murray. Todd Wishner, and Mike Baumhauer brought their team out of their slump. The offensive combina- tion of Wishner and Murray often combined for hundreds of rushing yards each game. A simple up-the-middle play by either runner could break open at any time for a considerable gain. The passing game could also open up because of the strong run. This offense also proved to be their best defense as the other teams had limited opportunities to score. Wishner commented. We improved a lot from the year before and we hope to keep improving.

The team, which was expected to suffer greatly from the loss of the '86 graduating class, soared high as they landed their first SWC co-championship in 17 years. After starting with a mediocre 2-2, the Rockets ran off six straight victories, in- cluding a 33-18 championship clinching victory at North Olmsted in the season finale. The well-balanced team was not dominated by the offense or defense; instead it relied a on strong, consistent performance by each. Opponents had dif- ficulty stopping the Rockets wishbone attack. The offense, which led the conference in both rushing and scoring, was spearheaded by senior Eric Martin and juniors Shawn Davis and Mike Rekstis. Senior Kevin Lazroff, junior Brett VanCleave, and sophomore Pete Beurmann filled in more than adequately. Summing up the importance of the wishbone offense, senior Justin Mauer said, ‘‘Initially our offense struggled until, like last year, we instituted the wishbone and began running opponents over. Though pass- ing was not a high priority for the Rocket offense, senior quarterback Scott Loomis hooked up with junior Greg Baumhauer on 16 completions for 363 yards and 7 touchdowns. Senior receiver Mark Nelson was also a favorite target for Loomis. Six of the eleven starting offensive players received SWC honors for the Rockets. Martin, and senior linemen Tom Germuska and Dave DeWitt were named to the first team all-conference squad, while Mauer, Davis, and Baumhauer earned second- team credit. The defensive unit for the Rockets performed admirably after losing seven graduating line players. They finished first in the SWC against the run and second against the pass. The experienced Rocket defensive backfield consisted of seniors Alan Mavis, Pat Redinger, and Ted Monago. The linebacker corps was manned by seniors Al Trask, Chris Shear, Tom Walsh, and Alan Strauss. Junior Mark Doland also saw considerable playing time. The front line, which was thought to be the defense's weakest link, received a boost from the play of seniors Todd Roman and John Casey and juniors Tom Skelly and Gary Konschak. Showing his feelings about the defense, Trask said, ‘‘I think we performed better than anyone expected, including the coaches. No one thought we’d be very good after losing last year’s defense. Walsh and Konschak received AII-SWC first team mention, while Skelly and Mavis were named to the second-team squad. The latter was honored for his clutch per- formance as a punter. After seventeen long years of trying, the Rocket gridders finally brought the SWC cham- pionship back to where it belongs . . . Bay High. KICKING BACK.

Tradi- tions were broken for the first time when the usually straight- as-an-arrow appearance of the Rockettes was shattered. The Rockettes were featured in West Side Story at the varsity concert in November. Senior Captain Becky Harman remembered, “All of the lieutenants got together to watch West Side Story . Then we all tried to make up the dance so it was like the movie.” They wore leather and iean jackets with chains to set tne scene for the dance. LOOK MOM. NO HANDS!

During “Night Beat”, the number of people dancing with the Rockettes suddenly increased. It was the band dance, where the whole band got down and jammed during this number. Junior Rockette lieutenant Monica Perelmuter said, “I didn’t like doing the band dance. For “Night Beat” we had to roll on the ground.” Because of their ex- perience, the Rockettes had the easiest time performing to the dance, as compared to the newcomers. ORIGINAL PROPS. Props were the name of game in the 1986 football season for the Rockettes. Both the Jr. and Senior Rockettes used elastic stretch bands as a major feature. Because of the time it took to attach the bands, they were often put on the wrong foot. Senior Pam O’Toole had tnat problem. She said, “I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. No matter what I did I go all tangled up in it. It was embar- rassing because my sisters were there watching.” TWIRLING FIRE. By far the smallest drill team of the band, the Majorettes added excitement to the halftime show. Although it was a challenge and a risk, the five-girl squad performed to “Night Beat ’ with the use of fire batons.

After that, it was great.” Rockettes mm T7«m IARCHING BAND M 1 'o'N ; “Marching band fills a gap in the school scene.

These two took over the vacant field commander positions traditional- ly held by a Doy and a girl. Dena said, “When I first found out that the two of us who’d made it were girls, I was worried. I mean, who’s going to listen to two girls? But it worked out really well.” NEW OFFICERS. After going two years without officers, marching band finally got around to “electing” some office-holders. Senior Karen Ihms reflected, “I remember at one game, the other band’s officers wanted to meet ours. We didn’t have any, so Dawn Vassar ran around grab- bing some seniors to do it. A bunch of us became the perma- nent officers, but every week we’d rotate positions. One week we were all President!” LACK OF MEMBERS.

He grumbled, “I wanted it to be bigger because a bigger band sounds better and looks better, too. We could’ve done a lot more fun stuff. I still had a good time though.” FOLLOW FRED. In the fall of 1986, the marchinc band was faced with one of tne most dif- ficult situations ever seen. Hav- ing always followed a basically traditional marching routine, the entire band was faced with the infamous “Follow Fred“. Although only members of the band could truly appreciate the work this tricky routine re- quired, the audience reaction made it worth the effort. Senior Dawn Vassar said, “It was very hard to teach the whole band to do the routine because each per- son had to do something dif- ferent. But apparently it looked exciting to the crowd.” ATTENTION!

Marching Band -—N W7IUUI , CHEERLEADERS 1 Co' 'on n 7 Sr mmir? Cheerleading was hard this year because so many changes were expected from us, and we had to start from scratch. Our main objective was to bring back school spirit. Kristen Schmidt Cheerleaders Write Essays CHEERLEADERS WRITING ESSAYS What is a cheerleader? Before any young, hopeful, and prospective cheerleader could fulfill her dreams, this question had to be pondered upon and developed into a well-written, philosophical discussion. Answered in essay form, the question was a radical new re- quirement added to cheerleading tryouts for the first time. The urpose behind the essays was to elp judge each girl's individual ideals and objectives. Junior Mary Beth Laurenson com- mented, “It was good in some ways because a lot of people dropped out of tryouts when they heard they had to write an essay. I guess it worked in that way because it cut the competition to those who really wanted to be cheerleaders.” TRICKS OR TREATS. As yet another method of raising funds, the varsity squad sponsored a trick-or-treat” Halloween sale. For $1, students could purchase either a bag of tricks, consisting of spider rings, skeleton necklaces, and candy, or a carna- tion for a treat. Robin Knutsen, varsity member, said, “The car- nations were supposed to be orange with white ribbons, but they turned out the other way around. Whoever ordered them got it mixed up. It was still nice, but I can get a white carnation any day.” The much needed funds went towards long-awaited supplies including decorations for the sports teams, megaphones and poms, sweats, and jackets and camp costs for the JV squad. PEP ASSEMBLIES. The cheerleader activity most favored by the rest of the students were the pep assemblies. They allowed for a rare “assembly schedule” day, which meant shorter class periods. More importantly, it united the school spirit and motivated the sports teams for their upcoming games. Behind each pep assembly, however, went hours of planning and hard work for the cheerleaders. Senior Kris Stoyko said, We spent alot of time on the assemblies. I mean, sometimes we’d spend an entire Sunday night getting ready for the next week’s assembly. It can be discouraging when someone comes up to us and criticizes. But after all the hard work, it’s still worth it afterwards.” - S. Starr SIGNING IN.

The answer to that imposing question was a definite YES! The young team finished the season with an impressive 14 wins and 8 losses. This was the first year for the Toni Chiabotti Invitational, named after Bay's first gym- nastics coach, and at which Bay placed second out of the six teams competing. Another question faced by the team, but mainly Captain Linnea Barker and head coach Jack Flanagan, was whether Linnea could make a comeback from major knee surgery to lead the team to a victorious season?

Winter Sports Putting It On Ice If someone were asked to describe the past ice hockey season in one word, it would have to be consistency. With a second place finish in divisional play at 10-3, and 16 wins overall, the icers went down as the winningest team in school history. Coach H. Thomas Williams commented,“This season was one of the most en- joyable of all the years that I have coached; everything went well. A high point of the season was winning our Christmas tournament for the first time. Nearly every facet of the Rockets' game was consistent from the first game to the last. A high-powered offense, back- ed with strong defense and goaltending set the standard for the season. Consistency was the name of the game this season. We won a lot of games despite not having much sup- port from the rest of the stu- dent body, said junior defenseman Dave Roehl. In conference games, the icers were the highest scoring team in the Cleveland area, amassing more than 90 goals in 13 games. In addition, their defense efforts allowed only 30 goals to the opposition, third- best in the city. Junior right wing Kai Hansen, injured most of last season, came on strong this season to be one of the team’s leading scorers. Sophomore Tim Winslow also played well in his first year on the team, helping to make linemates H.T. Williams and Todd Kikol greater scoring threats. Newcomers Steve Veillette and Jeff Thurman anchored the defensive core, while freshman Matt Street's key saves helped the Rockets win when starter Rick Raum was unable to play. At season’s end, seniors Mark Gulley and Paul Rusinko, and junior Brett Van Cleave were named to the All- Conference team of Cleveland's Blue Division. Gulley and Rusinko were named to the first team, while Van Cleave made third team honors. WHISTLING ZEBRA. After a stop- page in play, the team heads to the circle for a face-off.

This is better than it sounds taking into con- sideration that many JV wrestlers were pressed into var- sity action as a result of the previously mentioned injuries. The leading wrestlers on the team were juniors . Scott Broberg, Mike Andrews, Steve Reszler. and Jim Levicki. The Bay wrestling program finally earned some respect this season, not only from op- ponents, but from students. For the first time in years, the stu- dent body could be found at matches, instead of performing a mass exodus to basketball games only. The most impor- tant ingredient of a winning team is strong fan support, and now that the grapplers have gained that, the sky is the limit. Combining this with the fact that the squad has some strong underclassmen, wrestling is re- emerging at Bay. — M. Zukowski The Rocket grapplers started to turn things around this season as they upgraded last year's 1-11 record to a more respectable 5-10 mark. And still, 5-10 is deceiving because the team lost some real nailbiting matches as a result of injury. The squad started the season on fire as they shot their record out to 3-2 with a second place finish at the Ashland Tourna- ment. It didn’t stop there. A week later, the matmen cap- tured their first SWC dual win in over five years by outlasting Avon Lake. The following day the team netted a another se- cond place finish at the twelve-team Brooklyn Holiday Tournament and it appeared the Rockets were on a roll. A January 7th victory at NASTY NOSEBLEED.

Zukowski Benedictine, which boosted their record to 5-2, proved to be their last. Injuries soon set in, claiming 167 lb. Eric Martin with a broken wrist, and forcing 132 lb. co-captain Tom Keeler to have knee surgery. Losing these two highly possible vic- tories for each match caused up to a 24 point swing in the opponent’s favor. Commenting on the injured twosome, senior co-captain Doug Mcllvain said, “The loss of two of our best wrestlers hurt us drastical- ly. With Tom and Eric healthy, our lineup vastly improves.” The team finished a respec- table sixth at the SWC Tourna- ment, and was able to boast their first championships in six years. 138 lb. senior Tim Moynihan and 175 lb. junior Shawn Davis both won crowns in their weight divisions. Moynihan and Keeler, both senior year transfers from perennial wrestling powerhouse St. Edward, were the reason for the improvement. Keeler finished at a remarkable 15-1, IN CONTROL.

SPIRTS Riding a High Wave Perseverence was beginning to pay off for both swim teams. Swimmers were at the pool in the morning swimming long before a vast majority of the student body was even awake. Both squads had to get up bright and early at 6:00 AM for practice, while most students stayed in bed until 7:00 or so. This left no more than an hour of pool time for swimming. After this strenuous workout, the swimmers had to become normal students and prepare for classes, and hurry back to the school. Through all this adversity, and lack of sleep, the boys' team posted an impressive 10- 2 record. Coach Sue Sieminski was named SWC boys coach of the year. Numerous members of the team also received All SWC honors, including Pete Knudsen, 200m freestyle: Ross Fowler, 50m freestyle: Bob Knestrick, 100m backstroke; and the 400m freestyle relay team of Joe Morneault, Dan Roehl, Fowler and Knudsen. Senior captain. Pete Knudsen commented on the season, Considering how little practice time we got, we've greatly im- proved compared to past years. Heck, we won more meets in this year than my first three years combined! Improvement was also evi- dent in the girls' rankings as they tallied a 6-7 record. The team was led by seniors, Simona Zavratnik and Wendy Marusa. Junior Kathy Bernecker and sophomores Amy Caldwell, Staci Sieminski, and Anne Garvin, were depen- dable scorers at most meets. A strong freshman class also helped out, and should be a positive factor in years to come. Wendy Marusa conclud- ed, I felt we lacked depth and experience when it counted, and for me the practice time stinks. We definitely need a pool if we're ever to become a true a competitor in the SWC. The swimmers, both boys and girls, should be com- mended for their tremendous seasons. The team faces numerous in- conveniences as they go through their daily routine.

Zukowski SPC3TS Cagers Keep Winning Despite a slow start, the junior varsity basketball team rounded out the season with a respectable 13-6 record overall. The 10-4 SWC mark was good for second place in the con- ference behind newcomer Amherst. The season started off poorly as the Rockets saw themselves struggling at 2-4. Three of these losses came by either one or two points. Of the six defeats, all but one. a 57-45 loss to Amherst, found the team overcome by five points or less. Sophomore Jeff Firestone claimed,‘‘We got off to a real rocky start, but then we finally got things going. In the first nine games, we lost as many games as we had in the previous two seasons combin- ed. The Rockets finished with a 11-2 record to reverse the early season dilemma. Early on, the scoring was not dominated by any one in- dividual. Solid games were recorded by John Corona, Bert Auburn, Mike Stoyko, and Ryan Haley. Midway through the season, the outside shooting grew cold,and the of- fense looked inside more. Because of Stoyko's promotion to the varsity, Steve Matovic became the main man down low. Matovic’s numbers benefited greatly from this as he lit up the scoreboard. Defen- sively, the squad was anchored by the quick play of Corona and Craig Krueger. Under new head coach Don Mook, the freshmen ended up at 10-7 and emerged as the Cinderella team in the SWC Tournament. After beating Fairview and upsetting Rocky River, the team was halted 63- 58 in the finals by Amherst. Two new mwmbers, John Hyland and Jeff Johnston, pro- vided an important boost for the squad. These additions to an already solid team meant only good things. The team was able to mix up the offense well, evenly balancing scoring on the perimeter and in the paint. The team did have its weaknesses, however. A definite lack of defense existed; the squad seemed to turn off after coming, through on of- fense. Poor foul shooting plagued them throughout the season and could have been the deciding factor in some close losses. Matt Reid commented, It was a tough season because we lost a lot of games we should have won. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL- Front Row. Bill Bordme (manager). Kyle Moyer. Chad Tarkany.

The season’s scrimmages started them off to a shaky beginning, but gave the seven rookies some valuable experience. Starting sophomore point guard Liz Henneberry com- mented, “I was really in- timidated, but Miss Tedrick made me play. I was glad that the first couple games weren’t conference because there wasn’t as much pressure to not make mistakes. The two senior co-captains of the team Kim Rekstis and Sue Myers were instrumental in scoring and rebounding; Rekstis scored an average of 10.5 points per game, and Myers came down with 121 re- bounds during the regular season. Juniors Robin Dutton and Christin Chadwick would not take back seat to their captains as they contributed substantial- ly to both the scoring and the defense. An intense game against Rocky River turned into the season disappointment when the Pirates defeated the Rockets, sealing their second place fate. Junior Becky Snevel commented, It was the most intense game we played all season. The refs just let things get out of control. I was worried for Kim because a lot of the violence was directed toward her. Their tournament play was short-lived.

Troia smms Cagers Drop From The Top What goes around, comes around. The basketball team received some of its own medicine this season after beating up on the rest of the SWC for the past five years. The squad staggered to a 7-7 SWC mark, and a 9-10 record overall. The team, however, was far from sorrowful as any true fan knew. More than half of the Rockets games were decided by five points or less, and the cagers usually came out on the short end of the scoreboard. The narrow-margin losses were especially common at the beginning of the season. The team struggled right out of the gate as it suffered consecutive two-point losses at Lakewood and Berea. Explaining these heartbreaking losses, senior guard Al Mavis said, I felt a lot of it was due to our team's lack of experience and communica- tion. Towards the end of the year we started playing well together, and our close games tended to go our way. The chief weakness came from a lack of size and strength inside. Coach Rich Voiers sought high and low for the perfect compliment to 6’5 junior pivot Warren Will. Senior Scott Buckholz, junior Jim Campo, and sophomore Mike Stoyko all saw time at the other pivot spot. Stoyko seemed to be the best answer as the team’s success elevated after he hit the starting line-up. Senior reserve Dave Liberatore felt, I think the major reason for the improvement of the in- side game is that we began to look there a little more. Because of the lack of a strong inside game the team relied heavily on the accurate outside shooting. Senior sharp- shooters Pete Dannemiller and Mavis, and junior Brin O'Dell carried the team from the perimeter. The highlight of the season came on Feb. 6 at Rocky River. Trailing by three with two seconds remaining, in the half, O’Dell launched and sank an 80-foot prayer. It proved to be the turning point as the squad went on to win the game, and three of the last four. Commen- ting on his miracle shot, O'Dell recalled, There was almost no time left, so I just turned and threw it up. Three weeks later, coach Voiers reprimanded me for taking it; he wanted me to bring it to half-court. I would never have had time. Although fans have been spoiled by recent basketball success, the team did not fail to provide excitement as they went right down to the buzzer in a majority of their games.

Coach Voiers wears a candy cane in his shirt pocket to every game, and he also tries to extend win- ning streaks by wearing lucky ties.

FALLma Golf Bogies SWC Being close definitely did not count for the Boys’ Golf Team. Upon winning their first six matches, the unheralded Rockets looked as if nothing would stop them from retaining the SWC crown. After upset- ting losses to Amherst and Rocky River, the team finished 11-3 in conference play. Junior Matt Davis com- mented, We had a lot of fun playing. We had a young team with little assumed potential, but we battled far beyond our opponents' expectations. If the fans would have supported our team, I think that would have made the needed difference. Imagine pitching onto a green surrounded by a gallery of Bay fans!” 3 Ending with the 11-3 mark, the Rockets were in a three- way tie for first place with Amherst and Westlake and on- ly the SWC Tournament re- maining. When the dust settled at Pleasant Valley, the Rockets were a distant third, 13 strokes behind the conference champs, Westlake. Senior, Joe Bernecker sum- marized, In a sense we had the SWC in our pocket, but then we lost to River; that was the turn- ing point. From there on out we merely coasted. We entered the tournament without the drive we started the season with.” On the brighter side, two underclassmen were nominated for AII-SWC honors, Davis on first team, and sophomore Steve Veillette, on second team.

SPORTS MAG A Game Gone To The Dawgs GO BROWNS! Seniors celebrate a Browns touchdown during the Browns Broncos game. The party was held at Chrissy Baird’s. inside ... ... Wallies ... Skateboarding ...The FORCE ... Cleveland Browns, AFC Central Champs ... Managers ... Swim Team Haircuts — M. Zukowski TO SHAWN! During sixth period lunch, junior Shawn Kelley gets FORCE player Chris Baker’s signature Kelley played halfback on the varsity Soccer team since he was a sophomore. THE FORCE WAS WITH US..................... Students got a thrill when members of the Cleveland FORCE soccer team came here to spend the day last spring. Assistant Principal Joe Loomis was contacted and asked if he’d like them to visit. Concerning the agreement, Loomis said, ‘‘It was really very simple.” As a promotional deal with Bank One, FORCE players signed autographs and were escorted throughout the day by senior Bill Fisher and junior Shawn Kelley, both members of the soccer team. Senior Eileen Reid said, ‘‘It was nice of them (the FORCE players) to come here because soccer’s big at Bay. I got an autograph for a girl I work with.” When asked how he felt about the professional players, junior Eric Laurenson replied. “What can I say? They’re awesome!” NOT ANOTHER WALLFLOWER “Sign my Wallie!” This familiar cry echoed through the hallways during almost every lunch period. Made by team members, these cardboard or paper “good luck symbols were taped to the cafeteria corridor walls before the team’s match or game. While many students saved their wallies, others left them on the floor to be thrown away. Freshman Rob Garner said, “I save mine (wallies) because they remind me of things once the season’s over.” However, junior Meg Shinko thought that wallies were rather useless. She said, “There’s always too many to sign and everyone writes the same thing — ‘Good Luck, Love._Meg was in the minority, though; most students considered wallies “a really great opportunity to wish everyone good luck and boost team spirit.” After all, what would lunch be without them? REC HOOPS SCORE BIG — M. Zukowski GOOD LUCK! During lunch freshman Jenny Yoder takes time to sign Megan Barnard’s wallie The wallies were made for the Junior Rockettes’ perfor mance that night. “Is the new poll up yet?” “Who’s the new leading scorer?” “How many points are we favored by this week?” These were just a few of many questions concerning Bay recreation basketball that circulated through halls and classrooms last winter. The league, which played its games in the east gym on Saturday mornings, provided students with a suitable, non-academic outlet for their energy. What started out as a weekly basketball game, evolved into a full, drawn-out affair featuring pointspreads, rankings, and statistics. Spirited arguments became common occurrences as players boasted of their team’s power. Senior Bubbles Dowling said, “It’s a great opportunity to get out and have some organized fun with friends.” Junior Greg Rubenson added, “Besides, at these games, the fans have just as much fun as the players.” — M. Zukowski TAKE AIM! Junior Dave Liatti takes a shot at the basket This was his first year as manager for the boys’ JV basketball team. BEHIND THE SCENES “They locked me in the ball cart once,” said Cindy Westervelt. As manager of the girl’s varsity basket ball and tennis teams she admitted, “I put up with a lot from them.” Dave Liatti, boys' JV basketball manager, agreed with Westervelt He said, “People call us water boys, but we take on a lot of responsibili- ty. We attend every practice and game, care for equipment and uniforms, cope with injuries, and keep up team spirit.” Yet this hard work often went un- noticed. Heath Whalen was unaware that managers existed. He said, “Managers? Do we have any?” So why get involved? Westervelt said, “I like being involved in sports I can’t play; I admire the athletes. But then again, the tennis team did try to hit me with the balls!” Sports Magazine TRENDS TRIVIA TIPS SPORTS TALK STREET SKATERS ON A ROLL How did many sophomore and freshman guys, as well as a few juniors and seniors get around? Give up? They rode their neon- colored skateboards. These thrashers sported surf-style clothing with either high tops or vans, depending on their preference. A popular boarding'' magazine, Thrasher, gave skateboarders their nickname It advertised the latest decks, trucks, wheels, rails, and other various skateboard pans. It also interviewed pro-skaters and told of contests as well. Hard core punk rock groups sprung up as a result of the grow- ing popularity of skating.'' They staned in California and spread acorss the U.S. TSOL, True Sounds of Liberty, was the group most listened to while students were boarding.” Dirty Rotten Imbisols, DR I, and Agent Orange were other favorites. During the summer, a small disaster occurred at Bay Village Square when • skateboard shat- tered one of the large front win- dows at Avellone's Pharmacy. Senior Betsy Schramm said, It got ridiculous in the summer time at work — there were skateboarders all over the parking lot and sidewalks. It got so bad that signs saying No Skate- boarding were put up. Not too many kids pay attention to them (signs), though Sometimes the police tell them to leave.” Despite that incident, skating remained popular. Summing up why he liked skateboarding, freshman Mike Tham said, I’ve been skating for about a year. I think it's cool and it’s much better than riding your bike everywhere. A NEW LOOK It was Friday, and the halls were filled with the colors blue and white. This was because of the Rockette's and Junior Rockette's new game day uniforms. These oversized letter swelters and striped rugby shirts heightened school spirit on the days of important athletic games Compared to previous styles, this year's uniforms were totally dif- ferent. Rockette adviser Mrs. Sue Friedel said, I wanted a new look for the game days. We’ve had the same basic V-neck sweater for three years. Friedel received catalogues from the girls' drill camp in Dallas, Texas, from which the Rockettes chose their favorite from over fifty styles. Captain of the Rockette squad, senior Becky Harman said the new uniforms were new, cuter, and more stylish. Fund raisers such as car washes and candy sales reduced the cost of the outfits. But freshman J.J. Westervelt explained the best advantage of the uniforms She said. It s the only thing my sister can t borrow! THAT'S THE POINT Wearing her game day sweater, senior Diana Di Venere laughs at senior Michelle McLaughlin who is pointing her finger at DiVenere's nose. This was DiVenere s second year as a Rockette — M. Zukowski DON'T LOOK DOWN! Senior Greg Jarvi shows off his skateboarding talents on a homemade half-pipe in a friend's backyard At the beginning of the school year he dislocated his shoulder while doing a handstand on his skateboard The rwo most common skating stunts were called boneless and 'invert.' Although thrashers often got scratched up and bruised from performing these stunts, safety equipment such as knee pads and helmets, like Jarvi is wearing, were usually only worn on ramps and pipes. TAKING SCORE • ••••••••••••• One common way of getting into games, such as basketball, free of charge was being a statisti- cian. or stat, for the team. While this job took up a lot of time, several students still liked keep- ing track of who made what baskets, goals, pins, etc. Stats at- tended every game that their team played. Junior Julianne Plzak, a second year JV and Varsity basketball stat, said, This year (statting) is a lot better than last year — everyone screams and yells. You have to watch every second of the game Sometimes it's hard, but if you pay attention it's easy. Freshman Kim Gogul, a hockey stat for the first time, cited other advantages. She com- mented, I like hockey and knowing the team. On the other hand though, junior Bryan Lynch said, I don't see why they (stats) waste their time. I wouldn't do it. TRENDS TRIVIA TIPS SPORTS TALK VOICES IN THE CROWD Ever notice the types of fans at games? There were the proud parents. They weren’t hard to find. They were the ones lugging video equip- ment around to film their “baby.” Sometimes entire families would show up, grandparents and all. They would come to see their sons or daughters play, cheer, or perform. For many fans, getting into a game without paying full price became a quest. Many full grown adults felt that they should be able to be admitted to the game with a student ticket. After learning the hard cold truth that they had to pay the adult price, scenes were sometimes made. Yes . . . these were our parents. Students made the entrance to the game sometime after halftime, hoping to get in free, or maybe just because it was best to be fashionably late. Junior Karen Gielow commented, “I like getting to the football games around quarter of eight — just when the band is marching onto the track. That way, I can harass the bandos and talk to them even though they’re supposed to be still and keep quiet. Unfortunately, my ride usually picks me up late so I have to settle for bothering them later dur- ing their third quarter break. Then I can get a free doughnut.” But really, next year, watch the people at the games. They’re a sight to see. BUMMIN’ AROUND! Juniors Rick Raum, Dan Sabre, Steve Karl, and Mark Robinson sit in the northwest section of the bleachers while watching the junior varsity soccer team score a goal Raum, Sabre, and Karl were each on the foot ball team, while Robinson played for- ward on the varsity soccer squad. T.W. SWINGS TO SIXTH Wouldn’t it be great to be able to say, “I knew him when he was in high school,” about an Olympic athlete. Students may be able to say this about senior Tom Ward if he achieves his goal of making the National Gymnastics team which every four years becomes the Olympic team. Ward trained for three hours, five days a week, at the Great Lakes Gymnastics Center in Avon Lake with his coach Ray Gura. Ward went to State competition as an independent representing BHS and placed sixth overall out of a field of 105, sixth on the horizontal bars, and fourth on rings, his specialty. He commented about the outcome, “I did the best 1 could — 1 hit my routines and tried to represent BHS the best I could. I placed better this year, so I’m happy with that.” Unfortunately, because Ward did not enter with a team, the judging was tough and somewhat against him. Senior Tom Ger- muska who saw the competition said, “Tommy really got shafted. Since he wasn’t on a team the judges didn’t give him the high marks he deserved. He didn’t make a mistake all day. HANGIN’ IN THERE! Showing off his impressive arm muscles senior Tom Ward practices on the rings in the East gym.

Years back, when the Rockets were merely a royal blue and white team, red was added to the varsity players, cheerleaders, and Rockettes uniforms as a third varsity color. The freshman teams decided to add red after some discussion Senior football player Scott Loomis said, “Now, I’m not one to com- plain. but it was kind of a privilege — the red made us stand out more, and to see underclass players hav- ing red in their uniforms, well, let’s just say it made me see red.” Underclass players saw no pro- blem with having their uniforms resemble those of varsity players Sophomore Ryan Haley said, I understand that it’s always been a varsity color, but it’s just not a serious problem! 38) Sports Magazine — M. Zukowski SHAVE AND A HAIRCUT! In order to increase his speed for upcoming swim meets. Pete Knudsen, Jay Ackerman, and Anne Garven help shave freshman Todd Hoke's head. Todd usually swam the 100 meter freestyle. CREW CUTS It’s normal not to have hair at districts.” In accordance with this quote from boys’ swim team captain, senior Pete Knudsen, most of the boys on the swim team shaved their heads for the SWC and district meets. It was a way to show their spirit and get psyched up. While the lack of hair really didn’t improve their times, some felt that they were swimming faster. Freshman Jenny Davidson, a member of the girls’ swim team, said, “Some of the guys were really scared and nervous to get their hair cut off, but I think that they’re glad they did. They look good.” Junior Mike Petrunich commented, “They look pretty good, but I’d never do that again!” “Pete Knudsen looks cool,” added junior Steve Abdalla. Although no one advanced to state competition, the hair cuts must have helped as the boys finished with a 10 and 2 record. BAY TOURNEY Why was the Westlake basketball team playing Lakewood at Bay? Because BHS hosted the “AAA Boys Sectional. This was the first time ever that a basketball sectional tournament was held here. Athletic Director Mr. Ron Rush explained, The state board called me and asked if we’d like to host the sectional. They used to be held at Admiral King and Baldwin-Wallace. The board decided to divide it up this year so that driving distance was shorter and more people were interested. Sophomore Christa Walter said, “It’s really good that it’s here because everyone prejudges Bay, and then they can come here and see what it’s really like.” IT’S A DAWG DAY AFTER- NOON Karlis is set, the snap, the kick, it’s up, it’s . . . it’s . . . it’s . . . good! That’s about how long it took the referee to acknowledge the ac- curacy of the Bronco kicker’s AFC Championship winning field goal in overtime of the Browns’ heartbreak- ing 23-20 loss. Rich Karlis won it with a chip shot field goal that some to this day still claim was no good. It was a tough way to end a great season. The regular season featured a number of highlights including a broken jinx at Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers Stadium, a last second vic- tory over Minnesota on a blocked — M. Zukowski COME HERE. COZY!

There was the electrify- ing overtime win against Pittsburgh at home and a number of other con- vincing victories. The positive memories were infinite. “Bernie, Bernie, oh, oh, how you can throw! Bernie, Bernie, oh baby. Superbowl!” These lines, by the Bleacher Bums, suitably captured the sentiments of Clevelanders young and old as the Browns won the Central Division and charged in- to the playoffs with a 12-4 mark. Sophomore Jenny Lauersdorf com- mented, “I thought it was really great the way the city got behind the Browns and supported them. The spirit and the enthusiasm was great!” The New York Jets came to town in the first playoff contest and with three minutes left the Jets looked sure to advance, leading 20-10. But wait, in one of the most incredible comebacks in NFL history, the Browns scored 10 points in the final 1:58 to tie it, and prevailed on a Mark Moseley field goal in double overtime. They were dancing on Euclid Ave. that night. The following week was great, five minutes and change left to play, and Brian Brennan put the Browns up 20-13 over the Broncos. Everyone in the stadium was about to board the plane for Pasadena and the Superbowl when John Elway put his foot down and drove Denver 98 yards to tie the score. Karlis soon ended the game with his debatable field goal, and 80,000 fans were left dumbfounded. Senior Ed Cseh said, “We waited outside in the cold for tickets and everyone was really psyched. When there was two minutes left we were ready to tear down the goal posts. Then the Broncos scored and we all got so depressed. It was a total letdown.” Sophomore Bill Busse rationaliz- ed, “The Browns were lucky to get that far anyway.” What more can students do but applaud and say, “They’ll get ’em next year.” Sports Magazine While keeping her eyes on her sheet music, Heather Herr- mann practices her French horn for an up- coming concert.

Sports are fun to watch and play, especially if you excel at them, which many of those people seem to do. What if you're just not into sports though? Then there's always clubs and organizations. Now what are you talking about? I really do not understand what you're getting at! Why don't you just come out and say what you mean? I'm getting pretty frustrated right about now. Geez, where have you been for the past ten mon- ths? Out to lunch or something? Who do you think sponsored Homecoming, Snoball, Valentine's Day carnations, and paper drives? Uh, I dunno ... I just kinda thought they happened by themselves. Oh, now I see what you're talking about! Where did you get that idea? All of those things are sponsored by clubs like Student Council, Key Club, AFS, and Science Club, not to mention all of the others that are possible to belong to, both in and out of school. I think I'd like to see some kind of proof that these clubs really do exist, and that they do all these things you say they do. I d be more than happy to provide you with the evidence that you want.

They range from oral to essay, encompassing everything in between. Math tests, science tests, history tests even tests in Phys. Ed. kept students busy. a series of different categories such as fill-in, multiple choice (or, as most students called it, multiple guess), and an essay. On the other hand, some tests were made up of fifty true-false ques- tions. The most hated tests of all though were multiple choice with an option E, all of the above... Some tests consisted of “The worst test I ever took was a Spanish test last A year in Ms. Zeidner's class. We had to learn all these verbs and stuff, and I didn't know one of them. Besides that, I needed an A on the test. On the day of • the test, Ms. Zeidner moved the desks so they were about ten feet apart and facing the wall so no one could cheat. The day after the test we all locked Ms. Zeidner out because we didn’t want to see the test!’ Hali Aldridge B“The worst test I ever took was the first Geometry test of the year. I didn’t understand any of the material that was supposed to be on the test at all, and • I was up all night the night before studying. Even after I studied, I still didn’t understand. When I took the test, I thought for sure, that I failed, but I managed to pass with a halfway decent grade. It was still the worst test I've ever taken though” Suzie Hedge “Finals are the worst because I have to remember everything, and if I don't know it already, then I pro- I bably never will. The only thing more important than finals are SAT's. I like the math part best because it's • basically memorization, but verbal is a pain. Time is the biggest factor. After I’ve been working for about two hours, I start to lose my concentration, and even the easiest questions seem hard.” Rich Ball D“I pay attention in class. I do all of my homework and I study for tests, but when I get my test I forget every single answer. It always happens, and it's really • frustrating. I keep telling myself that I should just give up studying, but then I’d probably do even worse! Thank God we get some credit for homework.” Erica Boarman All of the above. TESTY. TESTY!

The picture was only a practice before beginning the final copy. Made by Hand The Ohio College made waves by revising re- quirements to include a liberal arts credit. While ear- ning the needed prerequisite, several students discovered their creativity. These classes which included all art classes, clothing and foods were a welcome break in school day. Industrial tech and drawing classes made quite a stir. Even OWE made something — money. By taking these courses, students explain HOW TO make the school day exciting. Step one: Adopt art. “I took art because I needed to take it, but we had a few surprises like tests and midterm exams! Ms. Sweet has inspired me to do some creative things. The worst thing had to be the drawing of my shoes, though.” Jim Dowling Step two: Picture yourself painting. “I feel like God when it's just me and the canvas. I know how Frankenstein felt when he created his monster. It looked horrible, but it was beautiful to the artist. Above all, it's a neat class.” Jason Pott Step three: Develop a flavor for Foods. “The spicy Hungarian spare ribs we made were awesome! I love spicy foods. We also made disgusting casseroles! I love the class because I get to stuff my face.” Sue Myers Step four: Choose Clothing. “I made this great paisley shirt. That's the best thing I’ve made. I also made Cindy Westervelt a patchwork pig because she said I never did anything in class. It was the worst thing I ever made!” Elise Yun Step five: Designate Architectural Design. “I like designing houses to see how they're built from the in- side. Later on, we’re going to design our own home. We designed a paper platform to support us. Some collapsed.” Colleen Manning Step six: Check out OWE. “I work at May Company to make money for college. I leave after fourth period so miss all the pep assemblies which is a bummer but I love having money to spend.” Ann Kraynak Step seven: Decide on Human Development. “It teaches stuff about kids most people don't know. The best part was the party we had for kids. It bugs me that there were only three guys out of twelve.” Heath Whalen Step eight: Participate in Play Production. “We pro- duce all parts of plays from technical stuff like fixing lights on stage to performing. We always making fun of each other in class.” Jenny Bye Step nine: Invent in Industrial Tech. “We make some creative things in class. My best project was a stool that took a quarter to make. Mr. Schnieder's stories make class fun.” Roger Bucher J • WHAT DO YOU GUESS WHAT HAPPENED! Perhaps the oddest things that happened in the course of a day happen in labs for science classes. In addition to the original three labs of Physics, Chemistry and Biology, Earth Science now had two lab periods a week added to the course. MON. Games provided diver- sions in many classes. Mr. Thomas held simulations of past historical events to keep his U.S. History classes stimulating. Health classes also found it necessary to activate students brains every morning by playing action-packed games. Fun- ny things happened every day in every class. Who knew what awaited the next day? ‘We did an experiment today distilling ethanol. We were sup- posed to bum a few drops to see what would happen. One guy took the whole beaker and poured it out on the lab table, then he set it on fire. It was like an inferno! That class is dangerous, but it does keep you on your toes. I’ve learned a lot in Chemistry this year.” Lynda Durrant “In Health class today we played this strange game called “Clump.” Everyone in class stood up and Mr. Scott called out a number. Then there’s a mad rush for that particular number of people to clump together and hug each other. The people who weren’t clumped together had to sit down. We kept going until there was a winner.’’ Monica Perelmuter TUES. WED. THURS. “Today we simulated or ‘stimulated’ Congress’ decision on the war of 1812. My favorite part is shouting over all of the other noise to make sure my opinions are heard.

When Mr. Wagner questions members of Physics class, he always catches people off guard. Without warning he always asks a surprise question. I was so embarrassed today when he caught me. I was totally speechless.” Charlie Rote FRI “Today in class Mr. Bobniz gave us the best way to remember Moh’s Hardness Scale for the minerals: The Gypsy Can’t Find An Orange Quite That Color, Doo-da!

Academics WHAT YOU Students aren’t always in class, you know, and where they went when they were not there was a big concern for most of them. Just because all students, by law, were re- quired to be in school bet- ween 8:00 and 3:08 didn’t mean they spent their lives in classrooms. Most students found “better things to do with their time.” During study halls they could be found doing practically everything from office help to haunting the stalls in the guys’ bathroom. Some students had more free time than others, but period for period every student had a place to go. 1“I work in the attendance window in my free period because it’s a more relaxing environment I than study hall. We play music, talk about the day and check about 20 students in and out during the period. One of the funny things that happens is some of the ex- cuses the students give when they come in late. Sometimes I'm laughing so hard I can’t give them a detention for being tardy.’’ Jackie Rekstis f I “After lunch I always hang around in the halls and -I- talk to my friends. Sometimes I go back to the 1 1 I I I cafeteria and chat, but most of the time I stand in the hall by the big showcase. I’m better at talking when I’m sitting down because I use my hands a lot.’ Joan Thain I “A lot of times when there is nothing going on in II -I- senior study hall.

Despite Mr. Millheim's comment, “Procrastina- tion is not a virtue, it is characteristic of all late- night theme writers. Although time is plen- tiful for watching The Coshy Show or reading the latest issue of Sports Il- lustrated , the average stu- dent always seemed to be lacking time when it came to writing a paper or start- ing a project. According to students, procrastination hinged was all a matter of time. mm wmm WHAT lYoua CAN I SEE YOUR NOTES? Take note! Doesn’t everyone? Notetaking is the primary event in most social studies classes, and copying other people’s notes took up the most study hall time. While most depended on the traditional outline format, some strayed away from form altogether and just jotted down sentences here and there. Because of the monotony, students created ways to make the lectures just a little more memorable. In fact, some students didn’t remember anything because they were frequently passing notes. Nonetheless, students created their own unique methods to avoid the madness of taking notes. I “I don’t understand how anyone can read my notes — even me. I always write the major or important notes in no specific order on the paper. Then I add little things in 9 the margins which makes them (the notes) really hard to read. I can barely understand them sometimes. Mostly, I take notes in government and math, and not too many people ask to borrow my notes anyway.” Jennie Lennon n‘‘I took notes on the first four chapters in government then I stopped because I hated it so much. It took up all our class time, and it was so boring. But we all had 9 to take complete notes because Mrs. Delassus col- lected our notebooks. The best part was drawing little Smurfs in the margins since she hated the tiny blue creatures so much.” Scott Dwyer m“To break the monotony of Mr. Thomas’ lecture notes, I use a different color pen for each line. I have about six different colors so they always end 9 up looking like a rainbow or something. It does make them a little harder to read but a lot more fun. Besides they always freak my friends out.” Kathy Preslan W W T “Taking notes in Health class can be really embar- rassing; copying down everything about reproduc- V tion and VD and all. I have a fear of losing my folder in the hall, these diagrams and outlines would be scattered all over the floor for everyone to see — with MY name on them. Some of the notes can be helpful though, like the ones about relationships.” Amy Conklin V“When a lecture gets really boring, the best thing to do is to write a note to a friend. I always pass notes to my friends in class. I think it’s something that only 9 girls do — to keep up on the latest gossip and all. Passing notes without the teacher catching you is hard. I always get mean looks from them, but thank goodness they don’t read the note.” Diana Taranto NOW HEAR THIS! Mr. John Wichman addresses freshman Kendall Gee during a lecture in World History.

Homework A staple in all high school life was work that was taken home from school. After all. what would school be if you didn't take it home with you? Homework caused a great many headaches, backaches and pains in the neck, but, as most teachers will agree, it was a necessity. Whether the homework took the form of ditto sheets sheets or math problems most students got enough to keep them busy until well after their favorite television show was over. Some students even had special methods for do- ing their work. Nonetheless, what student didn't wait with dread anticipation to hear those ever popular words, “Your assignment is... “This is how I handle homework: when I come home from school I toss all my books in the far corner of the room so I don't have to look at them. Then I turn the radio up real loud. If I have a math assignment to do, I listen to punk rock. If it’s an English assignment I listen to hard rock. If I have history. I'll listen to just rock in general and if it’s science homework, 1 listen to classic rock. The music doesn’t distract me at all. The rhythm keeps me going and makes it easier. Bill Randt “I have a really simple way of ap- proaching homework, I always start right after school with my hardest subject. Sometimes if 1 have a paragraph to write it's English that I start with, but usually it's math. After that, I just work my way down. But I absolutely have to take a ten minute break between subjects to clear my head. I think that is definitely the best way to do homework.” Jenni Mendelsohn A “1 “I don’t do homework. I think u I it’s stupid to spend so much 11 I time reviewing what we JL M % already did in class. I do im- portant assignments like themes and research fiapers, but I rarely do math homework or stuff ike that. I get into a lot of trouble for not doing it, and sometimes it even hurts my grade, but I still think it’s a waste of time.” Karen Ihms “Homework is the pits! When I get an assignment I try to write it down somewhere so 1 won’t forget it, but I usually forget where I wrote it so 1 end up forgetting to do the whole thing. It’s an effective arrangement because that's what I wanted to do anyway -forget that I have an assignment to do. Amy Rock “1 “I really didn’t have a lot of • W homework this year because I f scheduled two study halls a I mhJ day and I finish most of my work in them. This really helped me because if I had any questions I could ask the teachers or a friend without having to call them up; most importantly, I didn’t miss any TV at night. Scott Broberg “Nine weeks reports are out. How did you do?” read the sign board in front of the school at the end of the first quarter. Depending on the teacher, grades were calculated either by points or by percentiles. No matter what the method though, it all resulted in a letter on a computer printout for parents to either post or burn. Two first quarter grade cards were issued because the GPA was inaccurate on the first one. Because final grades are computed by teachers at Bay, the computer must be reset to show the teacher grade instead of a computer average. Also, the failing grade of E was changed to F to comply with the computer. So now E means excused. Understand? Students will now explain the ABCs of grades. a “When someone in one of my classes gets an I A+, I wonder, ‘why them?’ I worked just as hard as they did; well, almost. So why did I get m I a D? As I look over at that person who re- ceived an A+ from the same teacher that gave me a D, I feel a little bit jealous. But when I get an A+ I want everyone to know! I say, ‘What did you get? I got an A+! Not just an A, but an A+!” Mary Beth Laurenson B“I absolutely hate getting B‘s! I know that if I had worked a little harder, it could have been an A. But in a class like SM Physics, I’m happy to pull off a B. What really bothers me is when people get upset when they get a B.” It's not a bad grade, but I guess these days a B is really considered average when it’s not. It’s above average, and that’s how they should count!” Heather Herrmann C“I hate getting low grades. After spending hours stu- dying for a test, I expect to get something more than a C. At this point in school I can’t afford to even get a C+, because when I was a freshman I blew off too many” classes. Not too many colleges are going to take me if I get C's in classes, especially major ones like math and science. It’s lousy that C’s are labeled as average but, you’re frowned upon for getting one.” Rod Swartz D“Whoa! talk about scraping bottom D-! You know, when you swear that you failed a test, and when you get it back it’s just barely 60% including a curve! Whenever that happens I tell everybody, ‘I passed the test! I got a D-!’ They look at me” funny, like, ‘Good job. Congratulations, Stupid.’ But I don’t care, because I passed. When I’m ex- pecting the worst grade, a ‘D-’ can send me sky high.” PJ. Hartrantt F“I always laugh when I get an F on a test — not because its funny but because there’s no use in get- ting mad about it ... until the second time I fail, THEN I get mad! The letter F is much worse than E because F is farther down in the alphabet. Thank goodness for curves or they'd be G’s.” Bridgit O’Brien — S.

Using their own bodies to create the tiers of the human Christmas tree, the Concert Choir once again successfully im- itates the real Christmas symbol, an age-old tradition at Bay High. The phenomenon re- quired six rows of members to succeed in re- creating the singing spruce. M. Zukowski SING IT TO ME. With their eyes fixed on their choir director, members of the Choraleers sing their carols at the Christmas concert. In addi- tion to the concert, the choraleers also spent the day before Christmas break roaming the halls to perform for the student body. ALL TOGETHER NOW. In the midst of a serious song, the freshman choir members concentrate on the words. Although new to the Bay High choir department, many of the frosh had gained experience in chorus during their middle school days that resulted in improved quality in their performances. Be at the school by 8:30 AM .. . ... for the pop bottle drive. Choral students could be found roaming the streets of Bay in search of pop bottles, a much- needed fund raiser which put money in the choral coffers for some “extras” for each of the choirs. As the rookies of the choral department, the freshman choir had to adjust to a new music scene. In addition to performing at the Christmas concert, the chorus also prepared for the IT S ALL GREEK TO ME. Eyeing one another during Vereum Caro Factum Est . juniors Lisa Curran and Kelli Lintz appear to be amus- ed over the strange Latin lyrics. The Concert Choir was composed of sophomores, juniors, and seniors and was the largest of all the choirs. Spring concert with songs such as “Farewell.” Meanwhile, the concert choir worked on the spring concert and contest with their main song “Vereum Caro Factum Est.” They also continued tradition by building the human Christmas tree complete with flashing lights for candles. The songs included the tunes “O Come All Ye Faithful”, “Silent Night”, “The First Noel”, and “The Hallelujah Chorus.” Senior member Chrissy Farrell remembered, “We had to make our lights blink on and off like candles, but everyone was so busy trying to get them to blink we forgot to sing!” The Choraleers’ main season was Christmas. Besides the Christmas concert itself, the group left the school grounds to perform at other locales, in- cluding the Arcade, the May Company, and the Sohio building. Most of the performing time was held during school hours, so the choir was permitted to miss classes. As opposed the the other choral groups’ Christmas shows, the Show Choir's big time was spring. Although they didn’t perform at Christmas, the bulk of their work was geared toward spring, practicing with many jazz numbers. Senior Dave Im- hoff said, ’’The dancing and steps are pretty decent. It's all worth it at the end because we prepared for our performances.’’ Music KEYED UP. On the edge of his seat sophomore Bert Auburn deftly beats the correct tones while junior Mary Greene counts measures un- til her entrance. Although both played other in- struments.

Actually, the orchestra sponsored a poinsettia, cheese, and sausage sale to raise money for their national tour held every two years.

Quickly runn- ing out of breath junior Shawn Hicks attempts to simultaneously play the piece correctly and in tune. Also participating in marching band. Shawn was one of four trumpeteers who played to induce cheers at football games. forward to the trip again this year. If we go out of state it should be great.” Contest was an important event for the orchestra. Even though the contest was held in late February, players prepared for months in order to receive another first-place rating. The songs performed included Beethoven’s First Symphony, Festival Prelude , and joyeuse Marche. But the orchestra’s main events were the concerts. The Fall con- cert, along with the belated Winter concert (held in April), were the only two performances featuring the orchestra by itself. On the other hand, the orchestra combined with the other bands for the Pops and Christmas shows. The Christmas tradition of an audience sing-a-long was continued when the crowd sang the carols that were projected on to an overhead screen. Viola player Katie Scheid reflected. “Everybody participated. I think it’s just so nice how everyone joined in. It livened up the con- cert and the Christmas mood was contagious.” — M. Zukowski MELLOW CELLO. Raising her bow to the cello strings, sophomore Monica Perelmuter carefully follows the notes on her sheet music. Apart from orchestra Monica did not par- ticipate in any other instrumental program at the high school. SNAIL S PACE. Following the largo, senior Katie Schied looks to Mr. Pendergrass's baton for tempo during a much-needed rest for the violas.

Closely reading their sheet music, seniors Heather Herrmann and Bob Frato and sophomore Dan Roehl hold a low, sustaining note. The three players make up three-fourths of the French horn section. All horns played the mellophone in addition to the French horn. REGISTER THAT NOTE.

At the Varsity Concert, senior Trent Miller, one of five trumpets in the jazz band, jams during the song Fly Me to the Moon . Although junior Kathy Preslan was the only regular female member of the band, senior Gretchen Hall also made several ap- pearances as a vocalist. Bands • • • Auditions begin on January 26 ... for placements in Sym- phonic band. Unlike other years, tryouts to determine seating in either Concert Band or Sym- phonic Band were postponed un- til halfway through the year, coinciding with preparation for contest. Up to that point, all up- perclassmen were grouped into one large combined band, while the freshmen made up the varsity band. Freshman Rob Garner commented on the experience, “1 liked band a lot more this year than last year at the Middle School. For one thing, Mr. Day is a lot cooler. Also, we get a lot of free time before and after class so BACK IN BRASS. Taking a break from an ex- hausting practice, freshman Rob Garner pro- udly displays his King trombone which transports his prized woolen worm. Rob pur- chased his trombone in fifth grade and together the two lived through band ex- periences up to Bay High. we walk around and talk.” On a less competitive side, all the bands performed at the Christmas concert with the or- chestra. Those songs included traditional Christmas carols, A Wassail Song , and variations of Deck the Halls. Jazz band held what could be considered the most hectic schedule of all the bands. Besides the varsity and Christmas con- certs, the jazz band also had the opportunity to do a “gig” at the IX Center where a Christmas con- vention was held. Senior Trent Miller said, It was different than the school concerts because at the school concerts, the parents come specifically to see us; at the IX Center people heard music but had no idea where it came from.” In addition, the jazz band had several things to look forward to throughout the year. One was the a three-day trip to Chicago to per- form go to perform with twenty other top-rated bands in the country. Also, the traditional jazz out-of-school trip to attend the renowned Tri-C Jazz Fest was one event that Jazz Band members could count on. In addi- tion, lingering in the heads of more than on jazz member was the possibility of a visit from jazz great Ernie Kribda, in which he would hold clinics for the aspir- ing musicians of Bay High. Junior Kathy Preslan revealed, “Being in jazz band is like an extra- curricular activity practically. I mean, being in the other bands is a lot of fun, but if you love jazz, being in jazz band has a lot more fun times.” M. Zukotvski Music % PICTORE THIS . .

Zukowski : tsAitil Yearbook YEARBOOK Staffers Take a Look at ‘Work’ Sporting a new organization, a new publisher, and a new dog, the yearbook staff met in June of 1986 to talk about the upcoming year. The first task at hand was the infamous ad sales, $100 per staffer. Although it was the most dreaded task, it eliminatated the dead wood. As junior Eric Laurenson remembered, “1 was banished from the yearbook homeroom because I didn’t sell my quota. It was all worth it though, because I have a goal: someday I want to be editor-in- chief, so I,too, can spend millions of hours herding those cattle, just like Chief Cindy. Several fringe benefits accom- panied the responsibility of being on the staff. The first was the privilege of being in the sacred yearbook homeroom, for better communication among the staff. Two new highlights were the cubicles designated to each editor and the new high-tech computer which intimidated several die-hard staffers. Senior Tom Germuska explained, “It’s such a risk. It’s like walking on eggshells because if I should ac- cidentally delete something, I’m dead.” The word “party” became synonymous with yearbook.” On Halloween, dressing up in costume was mandatory for each person to receive tricks and or treats. December included a tree-decorating party and a tacky gift exchange fiesta. A Valentine exchange was not forgotten. Junior Jill Carsten related, “Par- ties make us less prone to work. But all these little shin-digs are merely leading up to the grand finale of bashes where Jennie Lennon will do her imitation of the John-Travolta-Disco-Era!” — M. Zukowski TAKE IT OFF BILL! In the semi-buff, senior Bill Hartranft kicks back after a rough and cold day before spending countless hours behind the computer. Although Bill usually came dressed to school, he occasionally shed his threads with belief that nudity increased productivity. HACKING AWAY. Nibbling on her ball point pen. senior Julie Tomlinson concentrates as she swiftly types copy for student life. While the school's computers were also available for the staff's use. the one in the yearbook room was the only one with the bonus of a color screen. THE WINDOW Undergoes Timely Renovation r Out with the old in with the new? Actually it was just the op- posite. Carol Bush returned after a year off, bringing a new organization, old format, new deadline schedule and an old graphic. The staff changed from magazine format back to the original newspaper style. In addi- tion, The Window switched from a bi-weekly paper to a monthly edition. Sophomore Christine Burkhardt said, “The changes we made this year are better for the Window for a couple of reasons. For one, with newspaper style, we can fit more stories and features on a single page. Second- ly, our monthly deadline gives us more time to put out a quality paper. Many special features improv- ed the content of The Window . For instance, rookie staffer Pete Hall ran a candid editorial titled, “Smell the Coffee”, in which he questioned the attitude both the school’s administration and to- day’s society. Two other new col- umns included senior Jason Pott’s film review and Chris Cashin’s “anarchic music col- umn for an anarchic school”. One addition to the look of the paper included The Window ENLIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. Trying to assemble some sort of decent layout, junior Jennee Herczeg checks out the best way to crop a picture by putting it on a light board. Taking over Christ Cashin's former position. Jennee became sports editor. — M. Zukowski — M. Zukowski FOLLOW THE LEADER. While adviser Ms. Bush analyzes a past edition of The Window senior Jim Wolan looks over her shoulder to pick up some journalism techniques. As co- editor-in-chief. Jim's responsibilities included keeping the staff on top of deadlines. symbol resurrected from the 70‘s. The unusual graphic, which was located on the front page of each edition, bewildered many Win- dow subscribers. Co-editor-in chief Chris Cashin explained, “In the symbol, there is a crying eye — the eye of the public — and the tear symbolizes our paper flowing into the river of com- munications. Translated into common English, we pick up on the news before the public does and convey that news which they have the right to know.” After this complete renovation of The Window , it appeared to be back on its feet. Senior co-editor- in-chief Pat Carmody related, “With 15 graduating seniors this year, The Window might be headed for trouble next year. But no matter what, our great adviser Ms. Bush will pull us through.” NEW NEWS. Absorbed in the year's first com- plementary Window edition, sophomores Megan Barnard and Joe Bartell catch up on the BHS news scene during homeroom. In a dramatic change of format, the Window swit- ched from from the lighter newsprint paper to 40 flat white stock. Bap Window — M. Zukowski — M. Zukowski — M. Zukowski SITTING PRETTY. Knawing on her Biro medium point, senior Kristen Stuart keeps her eyes transfixed on Ms. Bush as she explains how to write a proper article worthy of being printed. Like Kristen, many journalism students, not officially on the staff, contributed their works. A HAIR PAST TIRED. Engrossed in an overdue editorial, senior Chris Cashin works until he finds a perfect word to finish up his editorial on music. Chris, a Window veteran of four years, shared the title of co-editor-in-chief with seniors Jim Wolan and Pat Carmody. Clubs LEMME SEE!

At the Laurie Wilder Olympiad in October, junior Scott Troia assumes a supine position in order to achieve the perfect angle that he desires. Scott used a 35 mm Pentax K 1000. enter their pieces, we couldn’t put Signatures out.” The time and effort which was put into the lit mag was made easier through a cooperative and experienced staff. Senior Gret- chen Hall reminisced, “The en- tire staff is really close and we have a lot of fun. Everyone is ex- cited to participate and I think it shows in the quality of our book.” Most definitely, the unsung heroes of the publication scene were the members of the photography staff. Because the small group of photographers was used for both the Window and the yearbook, the staff often ran into difficulties with too many photos in demand but not enough in ex- istence. Time was also a problem. However, senior photo editor Monty Zukowski explained, “It’s a great opportunity for gaining experience. The only thing that could hold you back is yourself.” Publications KEY CLUB Service Key to Community Group If variety was the spice of life, Key Club was the hottest club in school. Before school started, members helped at a local Muscular Sclerosis Telethon by taking calls and doing general tasks. They also started to plan for the upcoming activities, focusing on the powderpuff game for Laurie Wilder Week. Pro- ceeds went towards the Cystic Fibrosis Fund.

Although it was a Key Club sponsored activity. Powderpuff took took place Laurie Wilder Week and the profits were given to Cystic Fibrosis. Because of the support the club gave the marchers, some of them came to talk with the classes about the cause. During the holidays Key Club- bers along with Chet Sadonick’s Biology classes collected over 2000 cans of food for the needy. Sophomore Sheila Bombalicki said, “It was a real rainy night but a lot of people still showed up. We ended up helping a lot of peo pie so that made me feel good.” After the food was collected members had to sort through it for the temporary food bank. In the last big project of the year the club put on Snoball, the annual winter semi-formal. Key Clubbers worked for hours to turn the cafeteria into a fantasy land. Senior Beth Porter said, “I always appreciate the dance more than a lot of people because I know how much work goes into it. I had a really great time this year decorating and dancing.” PASS IT ON. Lending a hand, sophomores Heather Tuck and Jackie Rekstis get a laugh while they help sort the canned goods for the food bank after school for Key Club. The food was targeted for the needy families in Bay and the leftovers went to the Westside Hunger Center. C. Manning Key Club CCJT IT CXJT.

Humbly offering her magic marker to sophomore Mara Manke, sophomore Beth Burnett adds some creative flair to her poster announcing the AFS talent show Those infamous AFS posters could often be seen adorning the halls to generate in- terest in the club’s activities. Imports and AFS — American Field Ser- vice. The name brought to mind interesting people, good time, and . .. carnations? That’s right. The annual carnation sale for Valentine’s Day was the club’s major fundraiser. Students could send their friends lovers the red, white or blue blossoms for love, friendship, or a secret admirer. Secretary Chrissy Farrell com- mented, “I think it’s a great way for people to show they care.” Other fundraisers included the underclass pictures and the Exports Understanding talent show. Besides just raising money. AFS-ers met after school every other Wednesday in room 103, where exchange students and Bayite returnees spoke and showed slides of their countries. Senior Heath Whalen said of his experience. “I learned much from my trip to Australia. I’ve gained many new friends. American and Australian. I’m very American, but I’ll always be and Aussie somewhere in my heart.” AFS social events included a Halloween Party, a progressive dinner, a fondue party, and a community exchange weekend. President Carolyn Fain men- tioned that the planning of these activities took a great deal of time. She said, ” Being president has taught me how to be a better leader and organizer. And I can certainly say that during the four years that I’ve been involved with the club. I’ve met a lot of in- teresting people.” American Field Service — S. Troia AND. ON THE RIGHT .

In a state of mass confusion, busy, bustling AFS'ers rush to organize the multitude of red. white, and blue blooms in time for the distribution of the Valentine tradi- tion during homeroom the next morning. It cost a mere dollar to send the loving treat to a friend. Clubs m TROUBLED WATERS. While an underclass Student Council member offers a suggestion to make Homecoming the best ever, secretary Anne Waters listens intensely with the hopes of hearing some great ideas. The theme of Homecoming '86 was Return to Gilligans Island. OK. HERE'S THE PLAN! At the Bonfire the day before Homecoming. Mr. Chuck Robert- son yells the plan of action to the Student Council officers to make sure the entire opera- tion runs successfully Mr Robertson met with the officers in the back of the cafeteria several mornings before the event. Student Council — M. Zukowski — M. Zukowski STUDENT COUNCIL QUARUM TIME.

Diana, also a Rockette. had to march up to the Bonfire from the high school with the rest of the marching band and Rockettes. HAND IT OVER. About to burst with outstan- ding ideas, junior Robbie Killius waves her hand wildly to be called upon by one of the presiding officers who stand at the front of the auditorium. Each homeroom had one representative and an alternate to stand in if the rep was absent. Provides Widely Varied Services Once again, the biggest event sponsored by Student Council was the bloodmobile. But for the first time in the history of Bay’s bloodmobiles, it was held in both December and in April. Student Council reps helped to transport blood and to aid weary donors. Senior Lisa Niccolai remembered. “I worked in the canteen. It was pretty cool be- BLOODY HELL! While senior Marianne Benevento comforts spent blood donors, senior Kathy Scott relaxes at the canteen after having all that blood drawn from her body. The canteen was the best feature for many donors because it offered them free cookies, lemonade, and hot chocolate. cause I got out of class, ate some cookies, and watched people pass out.” Another one of Student Coun- cil’s responsibilities was the con- cession stand at all home football games. Profits earned went towards aiding five Spanish American families on Cleveland’s near west side. Sophomore Sue Ule said, ‘‘It was kind of a pain to work in the con- cession stand because you miss- ed part of the game, but obvious- ly it’s worth it to help out!” Most of the Homecoming ac- tivities were also taken care of by Student Council, including the morning senior assembly, the Bonfire, the field coronation, and the dance itself. The Bonfire pro- ved to be a memorable one when sophomore Bill Busse brightened the evening by throwing a can of gasoline onto the blaze. The highlight of the homecoming dance was the band. Mixer. Senior Laura Wheeler explained, “All the kids who went ap- preciated the band much more because their songs were classic rock instead of Top Forty, which we can hear on the radio any day.” Clubs JUST MCJFFY. At the varsity soccer game after school, sophomore Muffy Monago wat- ches other people do the work. While Muffy did play soccer at one point in her life, her only school-related activity was that of attending the classes required for graduation a few years away. TAKE A LOOK AT THAT! Enthralled at the frosh soccer players, freshmen Kristen Fawcett and Tricia Skelly merely stand at the sidelines, viewing but not doing.

Even at Homecoming, senior Kit Nickel chooses not to take part in the festivities as he decides the dance floor is a perfect place to take a break Apart from working at Gray Drug and getting involved with Young Life. Kit did not participate in any clubs or sports at the high school. HAND IN HAND. During fifth period lunch, senior Vlccl Toth tries to manipulate senior Greg Wirtz into taking her out to lunch because her car had been stolen Although flirting was not an official club at Bay High, many chose to participate in this every day occurence. — M. Zukowski INDIVIDUALS . . . but There Were Some Who Watched r What do all those people do who only have one number after their name in the index? What about all those people who go directly home after school in- stead of spending countless hours in the building tor whatever club or sport? Are they just too busy with out-of-school-activities, too indifferent, or too lazy to par- ticipate? The reasons were too varied to pinpoint. Whatever the case, a few Bayite non- participators could be found and therefore deserved recognition. Many had valid excuses for what some called anti-socialness. NO KIDDING. Being the fatherly figure that he is. senior Brian Fllinger literally babysits at the Human Development class Christmas party Because Brian was new to the school in his senior year, he may have been one of the very few with a good excuse for non-participation. Sophomore George Alderdeist explained, “I hurt my ankle so there was no way I could play football, which is my activity. I’fl play next year hopefully.” A very common reason was a busy schedule outside of school. This could include hobbies, work, or just a heavy study schedule. Junior Joe Snell be- lieved, ‘Td rather be making money than waste my time on a sport or a club.” But there were the few that had absolutely no reason for not partaking in the many clubs sports offered. Senior Katie Scneid, who had no extra- curricular activities under her belt, remarked, “All I do after school is just go home and watch Phil Donahue. Phil is my life.” Is being a freshman excuse enough for doing nothing? Fresnman Julie Walther disagreed. She commented. ”1 triea out for track, but it hurt my feet too much. Plus I’m lazy. But I plan to get involved in a club somewhere along the way.” The disadvantage of not par- ticipating hit much later in one’s hign school career. When the time comes for filling out a col- lege application, what does a per- son without inter-murals fill in the space that reads Activities”? Senior Nicole Heckerman laughed, It didn’t really matter because the college where I ap- plied didn’t require extra- curriculars!” So, some participated, some didn’t. Many believed it was pointless to get involved. Many admired those who did. But then again, if everyone did things for the school, who would there to watch? Clubs (Q( ) Promotes Social Science As heard on the morning an- nouncements each week, Science Club met every Monday, after school in room 215. The club’s main events were their social and education excur- sions. For example, the members took a trip to the Cleveland Natural History museum, as well as a hike to Nelson Kennedy Ledges. But the highlight of social outings was a camping trip to Pymatuning State Park. Senior Jeff Zeager commented, “It’s basically a kind of escape from reality. It’s trees and lakes, it’s nature. But not really, though, since five minutes away was a pizza place.” Science Club did serve some useful purposes, too. First of all was the annual paper drive. Although not a fundraiser, it pro- vided recycling for conservation purposes, rather than wasting the newspapers. Secondly, the club sponsored the school’s science fair in which fifty projects were submitted. At the meetings, on the other hand, the subject of science was rarely discussed. Senior Gregg Podojil summed up the Science Club experience, “As far as science goes, once in a while we’ll come across a rock and have a big discussion on it. But Science Club is just an excuse to get together.” WCXJLD'JA LOOK? Motioning to a potential problem in freshman Lissa Warren's science fair project.

Other team members were junior J.T. Smith , senior Nancy Chang and alternates junior Jill Carsten, and sophomores Tim Greenleaf and Christine Burkhardt. CHALLENGE TESTS TEAM Americans eat a lot of turkey at Thanksgiving, but the most turkey meat consumed per capita is in what Middle East country where you would expect them to be kosher turkeys? What same three-syllable word can be used as the name of a cupboard used for storage and also as the name of the official body of advisers to a sovereign or chief executive? These and other questions were asked of the Academic Challenge Whiz Kids team, which met Tuesdays after school with ad- viser Ms. Connie Zeidner. The subjects included science, math, history, literature, and pot luck. The team appeared on television’s “Academic Challenge” January 10. Bay stayed a close second to Norwalk’s St. Paul high school until the final round when St. Paul pulled away to finish with 490 points. Bay end- ed with 220, and Notre Dame Academy of Chardon finished with 70. Team captain, senior Bill Hartranft said, “It was interesting being on TV even though we didn’t do as well as we could have, we made a decent showing.” Incidently, the answers to the lead questions were Israel and cabinet. GRADES CAUSE DEBATE ABOUT MUN Global affairs. International politics. Delegate debates. A B- average. What did these have in common? Model United Nations (MUN). Yet, what was the deal with the B-average? All Model U.N. hopefuls filled out an application form that included their quarter grades, teacher evaluations, and an essay. This was the first year that a B-average was required for acceptance into Model U.N. Adviser Ms. Inga Duktig ex- plained, “The type of person who applies for MUN is usually very bright. Less than a B in any class in- dicates that a student is not putting forth the required effort. When I went through the 48 applications, I didn’t even read the essay of a stu- dent who received a C for a grade, or a ‘3’ rating from a teacher.” Only 24 applicants were chosen. Many students were in an uproar over the new application form. Former MUN member, senior Chris Cashin commented, “I was really disappointed I didn’t make it. I did well last year — my team won first place in our delegation. MUN wasn’t meant to be an academic club. It’s an experience for making the world a better place. If you have an interest you should have the op- portunity to participate.” Senior Alan Trask, also a former member, said, “The application was pretty good. You can get an idea of who is fit for the team and who isn’t. But, excellent students can make horrendous MUN delegates. The prerequisites on the application don’t necessarily affect your ability to debate.” New member Cindy Elmore thought that the B-average require- ment was “a little strict”. She said, “What if you just had a bad quarter? Although, it has some good points. At MUN training ses- sions I’ve seen some people whose brain power could almost run ... a lightbulb.” Junior Chris Barth suggested another method of determining eligibility. He said, “I don’t feel that quarter grades should be counted — your grade point AVERAGE should be used instead. On the other side, sophomore Wick Pancoast agreed with the B- average requirement. He com- mented, “MUN is an extra- curricular activity. If you have good grades you should be able to par- ticipate without worrying about your grades dropping.” Hopefully the debates at the ac- tual Model United Nations Con- ference in New York City were as exciting and controversial as the debates about grades here at home. — M. Zukowski NICHOL FOR YOUR THOUGHTS' Researching the foreign policy of Egypt, junior Becky Nichols looks through old pamphlets in the library after school. Because this was her se- cond year in Model United Nations, and she went to New York City with the group last year, she was not allowed to go again. Only nineteen students were permitted to go on the three-day trip March 4-7. Clubs Academics Magazine HUGS NOT DRUGS ‘‘People helping people. This was how Teen Institute adviser Mr. Alan Jackson summed up the activities of the group. Tl’s main goal was to promote drug and alcohol awareness, especially to kids at Westerly Elementary School. All members received training to enable them to educate others. TI's performed a puppet show at Westerly in January depicting drug-related situations, such as smoking pot” at Blossom, drunk driving, and giving perscription drugs to a friend. TI also co- sponsered the New Year’s Eve Bash and created the memorable showcase before Prom. So why did TI have such dedicated members? Junior Paul Wade answered, “I know what the stuff (drugs) did to me and I wouldn’t want that to happen to anyone else.” HANGING OVER! Leaning over the puppet show script. Christy Buchta, Mrs. Manke. and J.T. Smith discuss the plots. TI members performed the skits at Westerly. TALKING UP A STORM When most students hear the word ‘forensics,’ they think of the television show Quincy.” However, Forensics, one of the newest clubs, Involved speaking — not performing autopsies. The forensic team attended speech tournaments on Saturdays from late Fall to early Spring. There, students competed in nearly a dozen different categories ranging from duet acting to extemporaneous speaking to Oregon Debate. This year two of the teams’ members, sophomore Tina Carpadis and junior Eric Laurenson, qualified for the state tournament held in Cincinatti February 28-30. Carpadis said, “I'm doing dramatic inter- pretation. You have to pick a scene you like because you deal with it the whole year, practicing, memorizing, etc. I joined to do better in auditioning and I think it’s helped.” OPEN WIDE! Tim Askin samples a chocolate covered marshmellow at the fondue party. To add to the atmosphere, sparkling grape juke was served. BONJOUR Le cercle francais, or French Club began its second year with in- creased membership. Having no of- ficial leadership positions, a plann- ing committee of about ten students met regularly with club adviser Ms. Kathy Sands to discuss future activities. The first activity was a fondue party. According to senior Nancy Dodge, It was a success — a lot of students came and signed up for the other activities which was the pur- pose of the party.” Other activities included a French dinner, which ranged from hors d’oeuvres to chocolate mousse. Also planned was a visit to the art museum to see works by French impressionists. That’s all for today, class. Remember, parlez francais! — M. Zukowski SAY CHEESE!

TESTS TUTORS A fringe benefit of being accepted into National Honor Society (NHS) was missing third period, since two separate assemblies were held. Criterion for admittance to this select group of upperclassmen included a cumulative GPA of at least 3.2, leadership, extra curricular activities, and teacher recommendations. NHS tutored students for free, ushered at Baccalaureate and graduation, and had a school-service project to complete which was a practice S.A.T. session. Senior Scott Dwyer commented “It was an honor being selected in my junior year. I like helping to tutor people.” Clubs Academics Magazine WAY TO GO! Applauding for a classmate, seniors Traci Folkman, Kathy Seed and Karyn Elkanich await their turn to try out for the play Up the Down Staircase Folkman was the publicity head for Thespians. M. Zukowski BREAK A LEG “Twenty points if you hit that kid on the bike!” joked students. This common driving line, however, paralleled the system used to become a Thespian. Students received points for taking acting class, working on stage crew, etc. In May, those who had accumulated ten points were initiated through short skits. Not only did Thespians put on their usual fall comedy and spring musical, but Thespian president Mike Sobczak directed The Winter One Acts. Thespians also helped out the PTA and did facepainting at the elementary school fun fairs. Junior Robbie Killius, secretary, said, “Besides our in school pro- jects, we also attend two or three Thespian Conferences. The state conference is a big deal because you can audition for colleges there.” Sobczak commented, “Everyone gets involved and we have fun. We’ve accomplished a lot and got involved in the community.” Finally, publicity head Traci Folkman summed up, “We’re a dedicated group and we’ll do whatever to make the show go on.” PEN AND INK Not to be outdone by sports halls of fame, the publications depart- ment adopted a chapter of Quill and Scroll to recognize outstanding achievement in yearbook, newspaper, and literary magazine. This national honorary society published a magazine for members which discussed publication issues and trends. Upperclassmen were selected by their respective advisers to be members. An assembly was held in conjunction with National Honor Society to announce them. President of Quill and Scroll, senior Jennie Lennon said, “Being President of Q S is a challenge because I have to be in touch with so many different publications on a daily basis. All the hard work pays off when our activities can take that one step closer to perfec- tion in the literary world. It is truly a rewarding, fulfilling experience. I can honestly say that Q S has changed my life.” — M. Zukowski HARD AT WORK! During third period, senior Bridgit O’Brien reads The Plain Dealer in the LRC. Six students from Mr. Knap's Senior Lit class went to the library for independent study for six weeks. PASS THE COMICS SECTION While choice 'S’ for English for most seniors stood for Senior Lit , for a few it meant Sitting in a library conference room. Senior Bridgit O’Brien explained, “We took Advanced Short Novel last year, so the teachers thought we would take Advanced Senior Lit. However, a few of us opted for the easier Senior Lit class, which as it turns out, includes Advanced Short Novel. Since we'd already read the books, Mr. Knap sent us to the library to find our own books to write papers on. While were in the library we usually read U.S.A. Today because it’s colorful, and The Plain Dealer for the Heinen’s food ads and to find Rick Stein a job.” FUN MONEY Over $7000 — that’s how much the Laurie Wilder Foundation, which honored Laurie Wilder, donated to the Matthew Salem Camp and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The Foundation’s major fun- draiser was a week’s worth of ac- tivities which consisted of sales and ended with the Olympiad and Powderpuff game. Commenting on the Olympiad, sophomore Patty Hoenes said, “It was nice to see everybody having a great time while working for a good cause.” The group was the top donater to C.F. in the nation. President Diana DiVenere added, We got a good percentage of the student body in- volved and raised a lot of money — those were our major goals.” — M. Zukowski LISTENING INTENTLY! Sophomore Kelli Flanagan concentrates on a discus- sion at a meeting of the Laurie Wilder Foundation. She worked on the commit- tee that arranged the Browns vs. faculty basketball game. Clubs Academics Magazine TRIVIA TIPS TRENDS PEP TALK PLAYING AND PRAYING What was happening Thursday nights at 7:30? Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes (FCA) was happening! At FCA meetings students could relax and have a good time. During the first hour, FCA members discussed the Bible and such sub- jects as love, friendship, and Chris- tianity. Afterwards, students could play a variety of sports during the open gym period. Senior Jordan Merkel explained why he enjoyed the meetings, “FCA gives people a chance to learn about Christ in a laid back setting — it isn’t forced on you.” Fellow senior Jim Bubbles” Dowling commented, “I think that whether or not you are a religious person, you can have a good time there. I hope it will continue for many years to come because it’s really a lot of fun.” IT’S OFFICIAL Take a look at who were the class officers. Elected in May, they were the students’ voice in school affairs. Most officers agreed that being a class officer was a good experience. Erin Maloney, freshman class vice-president, commented, 1 feel like I have more of a say. I know more of what’s going on.” The freshman class sold candy bars and helped with Laurie Wilder Week. Sophomore Class President Roger Bucher explained, “It’s a pretty nice job, but you get yelled at a lot. They (students) want us to be doing something, but they don’t always know what!” The sophomores’ sold doughnuts daily and sponsored an after game dance. Without a doubt, senior class officers did the most to benefit the school as a whole. After winning a $500 grant from the Bay Village Education Foun- dation, they arranged for a variety of assemblies, such as the Amazement Park Revue. The senior class officers also made progress with student privileges. Seniors were able to use a walkman in study hall and pop machines were made available all students. Cabinet member Krissy Baird said, “We got involved, worked hard, and got results.” Whether students realized it or not, class officers did more than just get their names in the class showcases, homeroom a few days beforehand. ESCAPING STUDY H ALL BOREDOM Hate study halls with a passion? Student monitors avoided this problem and earned an extra quarter of a credit at the same time. Student monitors were those students who wandered through the halls with passes in their hands. They could be found in the main of- fice, the guidance office, the LRC, and the attendance window. Their duties included taking passes to students in study hall and ISS, delivering messages, and just in general helping out the staff. Senior Atoosa Gheitantschi helped out at the attendance window. At 10:00 every morning, whe wrote out passes for students who were not in homeroom that day. When asked about her other duties, she commented, “I get a kick out of giving Mrs. Sams a hard time.” Sophomore Amy Caldwell worked in the guidance office during eighth period. She said, “It’s a boring period. I work there because I get a credit. It’s like a study hall.” Senior Kristin stewart commented, “working in guidance is better than vegetating in study hall.” At the heart of the school, the main office, junior John Flynn had a pretty busy period. He commented, I really enjoy working in the of- fice because the secretaries are so nice. You know what’s going on in school because you overhear things like who’s in trouble. I usually take passes to people and put stuff in teachers’ mailboxes. Sometimes I get pop for the secretaries and Kent.” Luckily for the staff, there were students who wanted to get out of study hall and help keep the school running. — M. Zukowski CAN I HELP YOU?

According to students, it is partying. Recently a law was passed, however, that affected this number one pastimes. The Keg Law imposed greater responsibility on adults for the consumption of alcohol on their property by minors. Adults, as well as students, could be arrested if kids drink in their homes. Sergeant Hill of the Bay Village Police Department said, It (the law) puts a little more teeth in it. 71 Now the parents are responsible. Despite the penalties, many students still like to party. Some students felt the law hadn't affected the conduct of minors. Freshman Jenny Ben- zie commented, I think that it's kind of queer because most parents don't know their kids are drinking. I didn't even know about it (the law).

Tripping on the stairs, walking into the wrong class, and getting alp ed could be counted on for certain humiliation. (An alp was the sound people made to mock a classmate who did or said something stupid.) School was notorious for creating these difficult situa- tions. Sooner or later one of them was bound to happen to everyone. Some mishaps were foolish and totally humiliating, such as accidentally setting off the library's alarm system. Others, though, occurred fre- quently and were understan- dable, like getting nailed by the boys' bathroom door by the ISS room. Regardless of the reasons, many students lived from day to day dreading the doom of that most embarrassing thing happening. drop book� enter wrong class OTHER drop lunch tray trip on stairs Not having enough money to pay for lunch.

BOOKWORM. Jenny Finley studies her Drivers' Ed. book dur- ing study hall for her class that night. Jenny was one of the few wno took Drivers' Ed. class during her junior year. A survey taken by over a hundred underclass drivers shows that GIRLS HAVE 50% MORE ACCIDENTS than guys. The girls accidents tend to be minor fenderbenders, however, while guys' cost three times as much. The survey was in- conclusive as to whether to take drivers' education at the high school or elsewhere. Up until last year, drivers' ed. was offered at the high school, but Mr. Martin, the only teacher, retired. Since then, students have been of- fered Safeway Driving after school and on weekends. Junior Julie Jones said, Driv- ing with Safeway for lab was easier because it only took two weeks instead of a whole grading period. Despite the problems, everyone looks forward to turning 16 and getting their license. HIT THE ROAD. Junior, Michelle Coe, prepares to get into her car to §o home after school.

It's not sur- prising, though, since there are so many ways to get caught. Parents, cops, and teachers are always on the lookout. Most students con- fessed that getting caught by the cops was the worst. Junior Kai Hansen explained, If your parents catch you they just yell and lecture. It's twice as bad if the cops get you; they bust you and then they take you home. Sophomore Lucy Landis said, The worst thing I've ever done was destroying my neighbors Stretch Armstrong monster to see if it had jelly inside. Usually, the trouble dealt with parties and curfews. For these offenses, students faced grounding and the loss of phone and car privileges. The odds were against them, but it's all part of being a teenager. u WAS IT GOOD FOR YOU?

Smiling her way out of a detention, sophomore Jeanne Booth is reprimanded for being in the hall without a pass. All students were required to carry one outside of class.__________________________ — £. Laurertson Underclass Not Again Everyone has excuses for certain situations, especially when it comes to school. When confronted, most students said almost anything to stay out of trouble. The excuses for showing up late to homeroom ranged from “My car wouldn't start to “My ride forgot to pick me up. Although these usually worked, they were overused and most students preferred to be creative and make up their own excuse. Sophomore Erin Maloney had the right idea when she told her teacher, “My sister crashed the car. Explaining why homework wasn't done was even more challenging. One approach was to try to confuse the teacher by saying I wasn't here yesterday (when you were). Some all-purpose ex- cuses were “I would never do something like that, My doctor said ... , or just act stupid and say Who me? Everyday students face dif- ficult situations and they had to be prepared at all times. Junior Ken Knauf explained, “Usually you don't have time to think up an excuse. You just say the first thing that comes to your head, and hope it sounds okay. Regardless of the problem, students almost always managed to come up with something. BUSTED.

It helps me forget about It On school. Although they like different kinds of music, students agreed that concerts were awesome. Of the con- certs they attended, the Genesis concert was their favorite. Some others includ- ed ZZ Top, Neil Diamond, and INXS. Students are ad- dicted to their music because it helped them relax and get away for a little while. Best Groups Van Halen Genesis Monkees Bon Jovi The Eagles ILLEGAL TUNES.

No matter where people found themselves, they could always find something they thought was USELESS. For example, what exactly was the purpose of those call but- tons by every classroom door?

Junior Julie Jones offered, I think we should build a duck pond there. In searching for an explanation, science teacher Mr. Hoesman came up with a theory. He told his chemistry classes that the area was built on quick- sand which would make a poor foundation for a building. Therefore, the school was built around it.

After debating on the logo, the class officers, with the help of the ad- ministration, decided on 1987 . . . This Is Our Year. Senior classes in past years often had a rhyming logo, but in this case, nothing rhymes with seven except heaven, eleven,and leaven. The consession stand wasn't the only thing to receive a coat of paint. Many a classmate were left in a blur of blue. Senior Pam O'Toole said, I thought I would never get that blue paint out of my hair that Ed got me with. The four gallons of royal blue paint that was specially mixed cost the class $80. Also purchased were two gallons of red and four gallons of white. An emergency run was made to buy a gallon of navy blue. At 10:00 small groups of students gathered for the in- itial painting of the stand. Senior Mark Gulley used his artistic talents to help design the logo. Gulley was aided in painting the design on the building by president Doug Mcllvain and Scott Loomis. While waiting for that coat of paint to dry, a majority of the senior class arrived at Anne Waters' home for a class cookout. Waters said, I had fun the whole day except when I fell off the top; that hurt! It was a great time with the whole senior class, and it was a riot having everyone to my house for such a big cookout. It's too bad my parents had to find out! Class officer, Krissy Baird commented. For the first time I finally saw our class coming closer together It was fun .. . the last minute decision to write 'This is our year' pretty much reflects the attitude of this year's seniors. Finally, at 8:00 pm, the annual August consession stand painting ended as the last senior signed his name to their creation. -S. Troia WAR PAINT. Senior Michelle Mcl ughlin defends herself against her attacker senior Greg Bellush. Four gallons of white paint were bought for the stand.

Mcllvain was one of three who were responsible for the actual painting of the logo on the roof. Seniors Al-Co “Just getting a break from school for a while was the best part.” -Brenda Harris As the bell rang at the of end fourth period, the clink- ing of car keys began to chime. Each day during lunch periods seniors were set free. After many years of students fighting faculty for senior privileges, the class of 1987 regained much of the senior privilege program that was lost by previous classes. At a meeting between the administration and the entire senior class on the very first day of school, it was express- ed that the privileges were available to those seniors who would take advantage of them in a responsible way. The privileges included a senior study hall, fully equip- ped with a pop machine .. . Seniors could then sign out of study hall to the LRC to do work, outside during nice weather, or just stay in study hall and talk with fellow classmates. Senior, Scott Loomis said, I enjoyed the - M.

The other privilege, was that seniors were allowed to leave campus during their lunch period. The lunch priveledge was granted after seniors applied to the pro- gram. A list was posted, and the accepted students went to the local fast food restaurants or to their homes. Senior, Brenda Harris said, After a while the places like McDonalds got boring, so we would go to Heinenz and buy boxes of food. But just getting a break from school for a while was the best part. All in all, the priviledges were a great success: few students had their priviledges removed, showing the faculty and administration that their class could handle the responsibility.

Early last year the class of- ficers applied for a grant through the Bay Village Education Foundation. The grant, which was offered to Bay Village students'and teachers' organizations, con- sisted of a $500 award that was to be used to on various educational projects. The of- ficers, considering, this plan- ned to hold assemblies every month on different educa- tional topics to promote learning. Mr. Wayne Reese, a member of the foundation. commented the necessity of the grant, We the board members feel that there are several needs that can't be funded by normal sources. The foundation tries to cover these needs that would or- dinarily be overlooked. The asemblies are provided for both the entertainment as well as the educational pro- cess of the student body. There w'ere two grants award- ed, one to the second grade health educational program, the other to the senior class. Senior class president Doug Mcllvain described the steps taken in order to receive the award, We had to show that what we were going to pre- sent would be educational for not only the senior class, but for the whole school as well. We had to plan the assemblies so they would fall into that category. The assemblies would be spread throughout the school year. The programs varied from song and dance, the Cedar Point Amazement Park Revue, to self confidence and class spirt, Mr. Knox assembly. Senior Tom Ger- muska commented on the assemblies, They aren't always that great but they break-up the normal class days. They usually give me forty-plus minutes to talk with my friends, like during Mr. Knox's assembly. We all competed to see who could get the answer first.

First semester government students were required to create a scrapbook with a theme to present the November elections. Seniors read the daily news, sear- ching for appropriate articles to clip out. Senior Sue Myers explained, Chrissy Farrell and I went downtown to the Republican and Democratic headquarters for information. Mrs. Delassus' addresses didn't help us at all, and we spent a lot of time looking for the buildings. The weekend before the scrapbook was due, groups arranged themselves at a designated house to cut, paste, and design the book. The other Social Studies re- quirement for a senior is psychology or sociology. Senior Matt Reece com- mented, The hardest part of writing the paper was choos- ing a topic that I could find enough on. Each student had to produce at least 10 sources on the subject of their report. Mr. Huntley's classes also had to hand in note cards, a rough draft, as well as an outline before the final report. It helped me to have to write notecards and an outline, that didn't leave too much for me to procrastinate over, added senior Lisa Niccoli. Seniors Mc-Ol — M.Zukowski CREATING A CRIME.

If one answered non-domesticated animals, they're only partially correct. The senior class re- juvenated a somewhat obscure idea of the class of 1984 of a club named after the Talking Head's song Wild Life, and slightly altered it to include a greater variety of people. Now you may ask, What goes on at Wildlife? Well, just about anything you can imagine, said Bill Hartranft. Meetings included a pre- soccer game pep rally prior to the big North Royalton tour- nament game, all-you-can-eat Kentucky Fried Chicken and Ponderosa trips, and a Jan. 7 birthday bondo and decora- tion mission which featured golf balls, realty signs, and Christmas trees for members Hartranft and Tom Walsh. Meetings can be called for special occasions, or just for the sake of getting together and NOT studying. Wildlife meetings were for the most part spur of the mo- ment, so members had to keep their ears open to hear the wheres and whens. Mid-week nights seemed to be the most popular times, simply because the meetings broke up the monotony of the school week. Co-founder Tom Germuska claimed, It really adds some zest to the week as it allows me to alter my train of thought for the night. New members were always welcome to come and ex- perience the Wild, wild life. — M. Zukowski — M. Zukowski CAUGHT UP IN THE THRILL OF IT ALL. Senior Elizabeth Hahn cracks up at the actions of another Wildlife member. Although Liz did not attend every gathering, the liberal policies of the group allow- ed seniors to miss several meetings and still retain their membership. MAD ABOUT WILDLIFE. No, senior Justin Maurer is not foaming at the mouth because of rabies. It was simply a case of hunger pangs.Feasting was one of the main attractions of wildlife. All-you-can- eat specials were a favorite dinner time activity of group members. Seniors Op-Sc A7 What did Chris and I do that was any different from previous years?!”-Jim “Bubbles” Dowling The senior year was challenging, fun, and reliev- ing, and sometimes clouded, by incidents which have created tension between students and administration. Some of these problems stemmed from a get even attitude while others grew out of nothing at all. Two in- cidents affected the whole school,and both of them in- volved varsity basketball games. The actions at the varsity basketball games were two- pronged. They consisted of seniors Jim Bubbles Dowl- ing, Chris Beckerman, and Annie Walker being pro- hibited to attend these events. Chris and Bubbles were removed for rude cheers and Annie was evicted for an im- promptu Rockettes' performance. Jim and Chris' punishment consisted of banishment from the basketball games. Jim commented, I definitely think the punishment was too stringent. After all, what did Chris and I do that was any different from previous years?! The senior class reacted by hanging flyers all over the school with Dowling's senior picture and the slogan Bring Back Bubs on them. After consulting with Mr. Loomis, these two were let back in the games on a probationary basis. In Annie's case, the punish- ment for her kick routine with the Rockettes was tougher yet. For her crime, she was prohibited from attending the remaining athletic con- tests of the year. In addi- tion, she could not par- ticipate in activities such as snoball, prom, and gradua- tion without special per- mission from Mr. Loomis. In both cases the students' behavior was cer- tainly out of line. The true debate centers around the question of whether or not the punishments fit the crimes. B.B.B. The Bring Back Bubs com- mittee was formed in an attempt to persuade the administration to allow Jim Bubs Dowling into varsity basketball games. Over 1,000 flyers with Jim's picture on them were distributed to students by the 3B committee.

For some, the size of the school became the final deciding factor. Seniors began receiving mailers from schools around the country telling why their college was the best choice. Some claimed that because their college had a large campus, college life would be more satisfying. Big schools had more students to meet, more classes to choose, more to explore. Then, the small colleges fought back by saying that they provided ore opportunities. Smaller class size, individual attention and student-professor relation- ships are just some of the traits small schools boast about. Senior Krissy Baird, who chose a large school explain- ed, I had to decide between O.S.U. and Dayton. The reason I chose Ohio State was because after living in such a small town for so long, I felt that I needed a change, and O.S.U. definitely provided a change of environment. Larger schools also provide more of a great system, so if the amount of fraternities and sororities are a deciding fac- tor, a larger school may prove to be more beneficial. Senior Gretchen Hall stated, I'm glad I'm going to a small school because I really didn't want to feel lost in the crowd at a huge school like O.S.U. Also, small schools really seem to offer more op- portunities to get to know most of the poeple and prof- fesors in your classes. Whether choosing a school of approximately 41,000 such as Ohio State or 16,000 such as Oherbein, Senior Scott Loomis explained, I see ad- vantages to both big and small colleges. But I do think size is a pretty important fac- tor when making the final choice. n 1 •• W W RUMOR HAS IT.. Ghezzi Caught in Legal Hassle Mrs. Karen Ghezzi was one of many teachers who went back to college to further her education. Unlike others, she is undergoing an entire career change instead of simply updating her degrees in secondary education. She studied civil law at Cleveland Marshall Law School. When asked why she changed profes- sions she replied, “I felt as if I wasn’t experiencing the growth and challenge in my present career, and I wanted to take a risk. I’ve always been interested in law, and I didn’t want to end up at the age of 80 saying I wonder if ..Along with her teaching style, her ambitious pursuits of another career con- tributed to her selection as Most Admired Teacher by the class of ‘87. While Ghezzi truly enjoys teaching, she can not visualize herself in front of the classroom forever. She was comfortable returning to the classroom because she is so familiar with it, even though this time it was as a student. Being both a teacher and a student was hectic. Because of her experience as a teacher, she anticipated that ap- pearances before a jury would be easier for her than for most new lawyers. She said, “As a teacher, I have to be both persuasive and able to relate concepts and ideas, which is not too different from the courtroom situation.’’ Ghez- zi already has had quite a few promising job opportunities although she had not made any decisions. She had been offered positions in either the company of her husband or that of a friend. She also thought of work- ing in labor relations law on the National Relations Board. While Ghezzi chose another career to increase her job securi- ty, she also saw it as an impor- tant step towards the future. “In the future I anticipate that an in- dividual will have serial careers, and by the end of his or her lifetime will have worked at three or four entirely different jobs.’’ MAKING ROUNDS AT THE BARS. Studying for the Bar exam, Karen Ghezzi looks over her notes. Even with her teaching job, Ghezzi managed to get A's on most of her tests. Mr. Carl Assenheimer Comp. Lit.

Faculty As — Co Wagner Works on Secret MAKING A HANDOFF. Mr. Wagner’s physics lecture involves a lot of hand gestures to illustrate the complex concepts. He has been using his energetic teaching methods since 1961 when he first started at Bay. Project Mr. Timothy Wagner reap- peared at Bay High after a mysterious disappearance. Mr. Wagner took a leave of absence of a year to work for the Standard Oil Company in Warrensville. He was one of a few selected physicists chosen for a project that would develop a way of depositing various materials in a more efficient way. Most of his work day was spent setting up the ex- periments; time only permit- ted 3-5 minute runs a day. Unfortunately, the project did not prove to be entirely successful. Mr. Wagner op- timistically commented, “As Edison would say with his light bulb, we knew all the things that didn’t work.” Mr. Wagner was back teaching Physics again. Senior Michelle McLaughlin commented on his return saying, “I'm glad he’s back. He makes Physics wild and crazy. Besides we would have never learned about his UFO experience.’’ Wagner used a variety of props to reinforce physics concepts such as a slinky to demonstrate wave patterns. Wagner said, “I am glad to be back. Teaching is where I feel most comfortable, and the reason I participated in the project was to enhance my knowledge as a physics teacher.” With over 25 years of ex- perience, Mr. Wagner, other- wise known as “T. Wags’’ has become a valued member of the faculty. Mr. Bill Davies: Algebra 1, 1A and 2, Asst. Football Coach. Mr.Douglas Day: Concert Band. Symphonic Band. Varsity Band.

Mrs. Judy Rothfusz got the opportunity to tell Santa Mr. Peter Hussey what she wanted for Christmas after all of the children were through. This was the first time a student did not play Santa. — M. Zukowski — M. Faculty Ha — Ka . —- —---I Crazed Hussey Thinks He’s Santa Between writing sniglets for his new Psychology and Govern- ment classes and spending time with his three-year old son, Mr. Peter Hussey managed to find time to don a red suit and act as Santa Claus for the annual Christmas party planned by the Human Development class taught by Mrs. Judith Rothfusz. (This was not the first cited inci- dent of Hussey wearing unusual clothing. During Right-to-Read Week he was dressed in superhero garb, claiming to be “Captain Eyeballs.”). This was not Mr. Hussey’s first experience as Kris Kringle; in fact, he has been playing San- ta for over ten years. When ask- ed why he does this, he admit- ted, “I like the little kids. I like asking them questions like ‘Do you eat your veggies?’ and ‘Do you obey your mom and dad?’ and hearing how they answer.” Hussey approached each child uniquely. He said, “I like to give each child a special little instruc- tion like leave two chocolate chip cookies for Rudolph or a Hershey’s KJss for Blitzen and I always tell them to leave it in a special secret place.” He especially liked playing St. Nick for this party because the children were all preschool age. “At that age the kids are old enough that they are not afraid of Santa and young enough that they still believe in him,” he said. Rothfusz said, “ Mr. Hussey worked out better than I could have expected. Not only did he act out the role to a tee, he really looked authentic. Several Bay High teachers had children attending the party. Mr. Kozlowski talked about the ex- citement of his daughter and said, “She loved Santa, and she couldn’t stop talking about how she went to ’Daddy’s school.’” Mrs. Schwelik commented “It was the first time Frank Joseph (her son) had ever seen Santa since he was a baby, and he wouldn't stop pulling on his beard and hugging him. His only complaint was that Santa didn't bring his reindeer.” This Christmas party was definitely a success, and Mrs. Rothfusz hopes that having Mr. Hussey as Santa Claus is the start of an annual tradition.

Even though the party follows a little bit different schedule each year, talking to Santa was essential. — M. Zukowski — M. Zukowski Faculty Ka — Me Bay High School Underground If there was one part of the faculty that students took for granted and overlooked, it was the custodial staff. They arrived early and stayed as late as 10:00 PM sometimes. During the school day it was not unusual to see Mr. Hank KJekota straightening up the cafeteria. He said, “Every day you run into something dif- ferent. The chores may be the same, but the people you en- counter are always different. The custodians were responsi- ble for the condition of the whole school, both inside and out. During the spring they surveyed the grounds, scouting out disregarded trash. When asked about his personal preference in work areas, KJekota commented, “I like working in the cafeteria best, because that is where I get the most interaction with students and where the funniest things happen.” Mr. Klekota had worked as a custodian in the elementary schools, but claims that he likes high school better. “When the kids are young they always do what their supposed to. The older kids (teenagers) are funnier and they give you more of a challenge, he said. While it seems like Mr. KJekota was everywhere, some students never saw custodian Mr. Dewey Gray. Mr. Gray got here at 3:00 P.M., and left late in the evening. He said, “I feel like I really know the kids here even though I haven’t met many of them. When you wash the desks every day, you really get an education. You find out who loves who and stuff. Unfor- tunately, he retired in May. When asked what his plans for the future were, he said, “I in- tend to move to Florida and fish all day long. WIPIN’ UP.

Faculty Mi — Ri Secret Files Revealed to Few If there were two people who knew exactly what was going on in this school, it was Mrs. Maureen Voiers and Mrs. Pat Dyke. Mrs. Voiers has been employed as the guidance office secretary for 17 years. She helped seniors with college ap- plications, organized Junior Parents’ Night and all of the financial aide workshops, and handled the community scholar- ships. She said. The most in- teresting part of my job is deal- ing with the Seniors and their college applications. College is an extremely big decision and I like being part of that and help- ing students out.” While Mrs. Voiers managed the guidance office, it was Mrs. Dyke who managed the main of- fice. Her job entailed handling incoming calls and helping students at the counter, yet that was only part of her job descrip- tion. She commented, “Sometimes, I act as emergency nurse and temporary disciplinarian. Sometimes they bring boys who have just gotten in a fight and I have to keep an eye on them and make sure they don’t talk until Mr. Loomis can see them.” When asked what made her job special she said, “The office is the heartbeat of the school, and everything in- itiates from here. I am, by no means, the last to know things.” These two individuals han- dled some of the most important tasks for the well-being of the school. M. Zukowski — M. Zukowski MAY I HELP YOU?

While students were home en- joying their relaxing Friday off, there was a brunch attended by the faculty for the benefit of the RUMORS. Mr. Dale Shelby, Mrs. Sally Bales, Mrs. Judith Rothfusz, and Mrs. Judith Krew get together and share a laugh. This was one of the few times that the teachers got to socialize on a casual basis. S students. It was held as a fundraiser for the BTA (Bay Teachers’ Associa- tion) Scolarships which are awarded to outstanding seniors at the end of the year. A raffle was held with tickets costing a dollar for five. Some teachers that did not attend still bought tickets. Ms Judi Coolidge said, “I was unable to attend, but I bought a ticket anyway, because it was for a good cause. It ends up I won a stuffed pterodactyl.” The door prizes were either donated by local small businesses or by other members of the faculty. Mrs. Joan Flynn said, “The prizes were really nice and there were so many that you stood a really good chance of winning. There were things like flower ar- rangements and dinners for two at nice restaurants. Unfortunate- ly, I didn’t win anything this year, but last year I won a coupon for free dry cleaning.” Not only did many people at- tend the breakfast, but several worked there as well. The Bay Middle School faculty made the breakfast and the faculty of the high school served and cleaned up afterwards. Mrs. Sands, a server said, “ I volunteered because I wanted to help out, but it really turned out to be fun. It is a great opportunity to mix and mingle because you have to go around to every table and you get to talk to everyone. The food was excellent. The Middle School teachers always do a great job.” All in all, the banquet was a great success raising a lot of money to help seniors to further their education. The scholar- ships were awarded at the an- nual Awards Assembly. S’lL VOUS PLAIT. Mrs. Kathleen Sands waits in anticipation as the raffle gets underway and the winners are announced.

She is currently looking for a barber shop pole and a telephone to add to the collection. — M. Zukowski M. Zukowski RUMOR HAS IT.. M. Zukowski Hidden Surface A teacher’s life does not revolve solely around school. In fact, there is much evidence to the contrary. It was discovered that teachers have many in- teresting hobbies. Mrs.Carol Bush devoted a large part of her week to reading newspapers. She said, “Since I am the Bay Window adviser I need them for reference. I read about 15 newspapers a week cover to cover, but I must admit I always flag to the funnies first.” Some teachers, such as Mr. David Billman and Mr. Joseph Knap took up a hobby to stay in shape. Mr. Billman bicycles from March to November and speed skates the rest of the year. He is a member of the Cleveland Wheelman Racing Club. He said, “I race in races that range anywhere from 20 to 50 miles in length.” Mr. Knap took up run- ning. He averaged 100 miles per WHAT’S NEW? Mrs. Carol Bush reads the Cleveland Plain Dealer while she has a free moment. — M. Zukowski Selves at 3:08 week during training, sometimes running as many as 32 miles in one day. He said, “I chose runn- ing because you can do it on your own, and you don’t worry about the weather.” He ran about 20 races a year including two major marathons. He com- mented on his tremendous en- durance, “The body can do an awful lot if the mind lets it.” Mrs. Sharon Pervo liked to “crew” for a friend who drives a racing car in semi-professional and amateur races where she has a stop watch. She has had the op- portunity to meet such famous people as Bobby Rahal, Mario and Mike Andretti, and Paul Newman. It was found that some teachers have hobbies that are completely unique. Mrs. Judith Krew, for instance, collects “street art” which includes such oddities as traffic lights, parking meters and mailboxes. She com- mented, “I was attracted to the idea that inanimate objects could have such an impact on our actions.” Whether they collect “street art” or condition for a marathon, the teachers always manage to collect themselves by the time homeroom bell rings. TAKING HIS TURN. Mr. David Billman completes in a speed skating competition at Winterhurst. He also competes in bicycling off season where he always places 4th, 5th or 6th and an occasional 2nd.

Barbara Charvat Snevel, ‘62 “I remember one day when about 6 of us carried Mr. Mueller’s Fiat 600 upstairs to the third floor, and put it in front of his classroom. He went out into the hall, came back into the room, looked at us and told us to put it back. He knew who did it. We all got detentions.” Richard Snevel, Sr., ‘61 “Just detentions? If we did that now, (not that any car would fit), I think we’d all be put into ISS or something. At least teachers have learned not to stand in the doorway after assemblies! I could just see some poor teacher getting run over by the entire school. It’s really strange feeling to be going to the same school that my parents both went to. It makes me wonder what school was really like back then. I think maybe I’ll keep up the tradition and have my kids go here.” Becky Snevel,‘88 CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF ’87 Remember these three goals to achieve in Life: Jruth Knowledge A Good Party The Crew: C.

I also remember nicknames that I had. One of them was ‘Teddy Bear’. I had a crewcut, which was the style back then, and when the girls used to rub my head they said it felt like a teddy bear. Another one of my nicknames was given to me by a teacher who used to watch me play basketball. He called me ‘Scooter’, because he said I didn’t run up and down the court, 1 kind of scooted along. Even though Alan and I lettered in the same sports, my son is a much better athlete than I am; but that’s because he had better coaching than I did. I taught him everything he knows.” Russell Hawthorne Mavis II,‘57 “When I look back on my dad’s high school years, I realize that he and I were involved in a lot of the same activities, which doesn’t surprise me; he’s always wanted to be just like me anyway. C’mon dad, ‘Teddy Bear’? W'hat a wimpy nickname! Why would anyone ever want a crewcut? My dad says I’m a much better athlete than he is, and he’s right, I am. ‘Scooter”?

The big thing to do was to go to a place called Bede’s, the Big Steer Inn, on Detroit and Columbia. People used to sit on the cars and watch for people, and there were car hops ... just like in “Happy Days.” Another hot place was Manners, which is now Bob’s Big Boy. The most important thing I did in high school was to paint the school. We decided to go with our school colors. All the lights had a nice blue tint! The administrators got a little mad and almost called off prom, but we stepped toward and confessed. I tell Krissy not to tell anyone about that...” Charles Baird,‘65 “I guess you could say that the man hasn’t grown up much; the only difference is that he paints the house instead of the school! He’s always telling us about the crazy things he used to do (like painting the school blue, for one).

The biggest challenge though is that as students we had a lot more school spirit than today. We had a pep assembly before EVERY game. One real positive change is the increase in the number of sports. We only had the basics like foot- ball, basketball and baseball and there weren’t any interscholastic girls sports. Now there is something for everyone. It is definitely a change for the better. Another difference is the dress code. We weren’t even allowed to wear jeans. And we couldn’t have a moustache much less a mohawk. Kids have more freedom today; we didn’t have ANY senior privileges.” Thomas and Mary Henneberry,‘69 “It’s fun to hear about what Bay High was like before I was born.

The only real negative memories 1 have are the teachers’, favoritism towards certain students. The school’s quality of education is much more advanced and improved. It seems that graduating seniors are now more prepared for life outside of Bay Village. In my senior year, twelve of my friends and I were caught smoking cigarettes on the school bus on a return trip from the Courthouse and County Morgue field trip. We almost didn’t graduate because of it, and as a result the ‘Dirty 13’ was formed.” Jack Karcher,’53 “I think my father was a good student. He was also pretty popular and active. Accor- ding to the stories he has told me, he and his friends were pretty wild. They had a really good time in and out of school. I believe that my dad and I are fairly similar regarding school. We both went with the intention of learning, but we had a good time doing it. I think Bay High was probably more laid back at that time. There wasn’t such a tight grip on students.

Originally, I went to a strict Catholic school and the rules at Bay were a lot more lenient. For example, I was used to having to stand to answer questions. I didn’t really like Bay very much, so I didn’t participate much. There were a lot of cliques and I still think there are today. At the time, I was dating my husband and I spent a lot of time with him. BHS hasn’t changed much since I went there. The biggest differences being that middle school was the high school and the building itself was a lot smaller. The courses were also more stereotyped: guys took shop and girls took secretarial courses and home economics.” Kathleen laudato,’62 “I like Bay High School.

Valentine, D.D.S., M.S. Congratulations Bethany Diana from the Porrers Compliments of Ernst Whinney Wayne Reese Insurance Salesman Wendy, Kristie • Vhen I was at Bay High we all used to hang out at Rosie’s Pizza where Dr. Rush’s office is now. In fact, 1 have a picture of myself and a friend eating pizza with our chemistry and history teachers. We also went to the Rustic by Westgate, Bearden’s, Man- ner’s, and the Big Steer Inn, where Kentucky Fried Chicken is now. We used to steal this guy’s car often, and put it in a different place everytime. The best part was seeing him try- ing to find it each time! I think that toady’s kids have many more opportunities and a better education available to them. There’s no telling how far they’re going to go. I wonder where I would be now if I had the chances that are offered to current Bay High students. For them, the possibilities are endless.” Wayne Reese, ’56 “It’s weird. The high school was where the middle school is now. They had grades seven through twelve in it, without the new addi- tion. Where did they ever fit all of those peo- ple in that old building? I like to hear about my dad’s high school experiences, and and sometimes I try to com- pare them with mine. Not many kids are able to do this, and not many kid’s parents went to Bay High in 1956, so, I feel kind of unique.” Kristie Reese, ’89 Advertisements 11 O (ass of 8: CONGRATS MARUSA and uooa Luck IMSURAWCE Laura Friends Love, The Wheelers!

It was a lot smaller, but then again, we had fewer students. The school day is most likely how it is now-boring! For breaks, my friends and I would think up things to break the routine of school. Well, we came up with this really Smith s great idea during lunch. After eating, we all took our trays out into the hall and slid down where the hall inclines. It was great! We would kneel on those things, someone would give us a push, and zoom, away we’d race down the hall. One day, I was coming down really fast and couldn’t stop at the bottom. Out of control, I knocked a kid into the glass shop showcase. It was a terrible accident! After that, the administration put up a guard rail around it to prevent further incidents. It’s still there today-so, I guess you could say I left my mark!” Buck Smith,’61 “I don’t think schools have changed that much-just the teachers and the rules. I can’t imagine my dad doing crazy things like that, especially with him being an accountant now. I’m surprised he never got kicked out of school! One real coincidence though is that my dad was good friends with Mr. Snevel and now I’m good friends with Becky.” Sharon Smith,’88 PRES LAN AGENCY INC. - INSURANCE - Lynda Durrant and her chums, farewell picture.

The fifty eighth consecutive volume of Bay’s yearbook was printed by Taylor Publishing Company. Our in-plant account administrator was Nancy Jones and our local representative was Cindy Carty. Staff members Jenny Boarman, Christy Buchta, Lynda Durrant, Carolyn Fain, Julia Lee, Bridgit O’Brien and Cindy Westervelt at- tended summer workshops at Ball State University. Other staff members attended a Taylor workshop at Bay that featured Judy Allen from Highland Park Texas. In addition to summer workshops, staff members at- tended the October convention of the Great Lakes Interscholastic Press Association at BGSU, National Scholastic Press Associa- tion’s fall convention in Chicago, and Colum- bia Scholastic Press Association’s spring convention in New York The 9x12, 216-page book was printed on 80 pound matte paper. Endsheets were printed in four-color on 100 pound stock. The cover was done in a lithocote process with percentages of Pantone 320U (teal) and 433U (gray). The books were Smythe sewn, rounded and backed, with headbands top and bottom. To set type, staff members used an IBM- PC computer and sent copy to the company on disk. Type styles changed from section to section. Body copy styles included the following: palatino (student life), korinna (sports), souvenir (magazines), melior (clubs), times roman (academics), palatino (people) and century schoolbook (theme). Graphic headline presentations and graphics were designed and created in transfer type by Design Editor Julia Lee with the help of a Xerox copier. Underclass and senior portraits were taken by Hal Briggs Studio in Elyria. Hal has worked with our staff since 1977 with his own studio. Prior to that he was a portrait photographer for Reinker Studios when Reinker was the official school photographer. Unfortunately, in February of this year, Hal decided to change his perspec- tive by exchanging studio work for lab work. The Bay yearbook staffs appreciate the many years, uncountable hours, and endless help Hal and Marilyn gave us. Special thanks to Cindy Carty for filling in some photo gaps and for providing instruc- tion to a computer illiterate staff. Also im- portant in producing this volume were the administrators, secretaries and janitors who provided the means, help and support to get the job done. Last, but not least, thanks to the parents of the editors who put up with so much for so long.

So, I finally got you to hear what I've been saying, huh? Well, it's about time, if I may say so myself! It took me forever to tell you everything that I know about this year at Bay High. What do you have to say for yourself. Well, now you've gone and done it! Why are you babbling to me all of a sudden? I don't understand what you're talking about! What are you blaming on me now? Whatever you say, I didn't do it, I swear! Listen to what I have to say! You've shown me that things actually did happen this year! I've finally realized what I've been missing all year! What With b punch and a jab, Pat O’Toole and Ed Caah bout It out in front of tha bus depot after echool. They hed just finished lifting weights in the weight room. Closing M. ZUKOWSK1 Scrimmaging with TJ Bittel, Jackie Rekstis tries to grab the ball away from him. TJ was under the care of his sister, Katie. M. ZUKOWSKJ i Tl | At an after-game dance. Amy Rock takes the lead while dancing with Heath Whalen. CARE sponsored these dances which were held in the fall. Taking a look to see who’s talking, Nicole Heckerman and Katie Satink pay close attention to their German teacher. German 3 and 4 were com- bined during eighth period. Hey, I'm speaking my mind here! What I'm trying to say is that this book is really making sense to me now! The reason for it is clear! It gives you an in- depth look at things you might not have even known happened! Now, go away, I want to read my book again! Well, look who's talking now! - 0. Closing Letting his shoe do the talking for him, Steve Rezsler greets the entire crowd in the gym corridor with a big hola . Hola is Spanish for “Hello.” IF I’VE SAID IT ONCE, I’VE SAID IT A MILLION TIMES, I HEARD YOU TALKING! Closing _ O O K W I—I o What a tough game, he said with dif- ficulty. Defensive linesmen John Casey and Tom Skelly revive themselves while the offense is on the field. Bay ended the season with a victory over North Olmsted, making them SWC co-champs with the Eagles. Yo. dude, like there's no surf in Cleveland, USA, he said saltily. Not known for its great beaches or its surf, for that matter, Todd Hoke hangs ten at Huntington Beach. Because of the in- credible amount of erosion over the past winters, the beach area has decreased to just a few feet. Expansive beach or not, all Huntington Metropark patrons must leave at 11 pm. Come on, cover me; it's raining, she said dryly. Due to a sudden downpour during a varsity soccer match, Kim Rekstis finds herself shelter- ing Brenda Harris from the rain. Although it drew few fans during the regular season, soc- cer increased its popularity when the team became sec- tional champs by defeating North Ridgeville. 'This part hasn't been painted yet, she said artfully. On August 17, Karyn Elkanich and Lauren Wendenhof help redesign the concession stand. They started at 10 AM, broke for lunch, and returned at 1 PM to finish later in the day. A total of 11 gallons of red, white, and blue paint were used.
