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

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

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. Stepping in unison, the juniors stagger along through a variation of the sack races. Anticipating this event, the juniors chose participants of the same heighth. SITTING ON THE JOHN. Trying to see an Olympiad event, senior uaedra Lang enlists the aide of classmate John Casey. After bench pressing 270 lbs., Daeara was an easy lift for Jonn.
