Students always kept track of time whether it was watching the clock for the bell to ring, trying to beat their best time in gym, or waiting for the timers to ring in cooking. Time was spent on after school activities. Many Victo- ries in Football, basketball, track and wrestling proved that time was spent wisely. Much time was also spent in the classroom. Socializ- ing, finishing those last problems in math or reading the last'page for a book report taught them every minute counted. Time was often taken for granted. Sometimes it was wasted, and then there was never enough to ftnish what needed to be done. If he oniy had a brain! Kolin Brandman would surely get an A from Mr. Klemm.

Social Life lt Pulls Freshman Students Through Their Toughest Days ime! What does it mean? For the freshman crowd it meant long hours of studying, combined with socializing. Credits were a new achievement for the entire ninth grade class and they worked hard to receive points toward graduation. The social part of the school day usually meant new and exciting gossip. In the halls between classes, in the cafeteria, and in the gym were the most popular places to talk. Friends shared new ideas and interesting facts. The hours went by with questions like; iiWho's going with whom? ilWhat time is it? iiWhat did we do in gym? uWhat did you get on your report card? Now the time has ticked away and the ninth grade students will soon be sophomores in the high school. They will remember the timeless moments that accom- panied their freshman year.

Main Attractions Freshmen hang-out in hot-spots o a freshman, having a social life was sometimes much more important than academics. Laughter and showing school spirit were evi- dence of the fun the freshmen had from 7:30 until 2:30. But social life extended beyond school. It could be found in the movie theaters, at parties and at many sporting events, such as football and basketball games. Students also enjoyed such sports as skiing, skating, and bicycling, which they usually pursued in their free time, after school, or on weekends. A survey showed that the most popular after school activities involved: riding A.T.C.'s and A.T.V.'s, attending parties, going to movies, watching football games, and shopping. Community Education courses, after-school sports, and French and Spanish Clubs were some extra- curricular activities that played a big role in the social lives of the freshmen. . . . . 60 team sol At the last home game against Northview, 9th A In a . after SChOOI aCthltleS Save freShmen a grade students anticipate a touchdown from their football team. chance to escape the hassle of school and homework, and relax.

Time To Mature School Meant More Than Just Work to Eighth Graders Take one book report, two math assignments, and a science project all due Monday, and it sounds as if the only thing eighth graders had time for was studying, but there was a lot more to school than just homework. Talking about the latest gossip such as; iiwhds going with whom and the fadis of the 805 could always be heard walking past eighth grade lockers. The hottest musical group, the newest movie, and the latest . fashions were important topics of their discussion. The importance of social life for the eighth graders led to growing friendship and new beginnings. The way they laughed and lived their life throughout the school year showed their social spirit everywhere! Hey, guys, don't leave me!

From playing a game of football or baseball, to shopping or seeing a movie at N orthtowne Mall, eighth graders always found something to do to relieve ten- sion from a hard day at school. Weekends held even more activity for eighth graders! They kept themselves busy by going to parties, or grabbing a bite to eat at their favorite restaurant. McDonald, Chi Chis, Red Lobster, and Taco Bell were chosen as overall favorites. it all ended so quickly, but the memories of good times the eighth graders had will stay with them a lifetime.

A New Beginning Seventh Grade Students Adjust hether it was talking in the halls, eating their favorite foods in the cafeteriapr just plain clowning around, the seventh graders enjoyed their first year at the junior high. Tina Gembreska stated, I liked changing classes be- cause you got an opportunity you don't have when you have to sit in the same classroom all day. Terry Cassell stated, HI liked the idea of being able to choose what you want to eat for lunch. Seventh grader Heather Workman stated, I liked being able to change classes because I could talk to my friends between classes. As a result, the seventh graders matured at socializ- ing in the atmosphere of the junior high and enjoyed their new freedom. lfs sclentmd in third hour science, Shelly Hall, Amy Cole and Kevm Rowe learn to graph the motion Of an acceleratlng tergghs Lefs eat!

Others went to North Mall and excelled at Video games orjust hung out at McDonalds. At home, seventh graders talked on the phone, rode bikes and ATCs, went over to friends houses and even curled up with a good book. In the evenings they enjoyed watching their favorite shows, Miami Vice and the Cosby Show. For most of the seventh graders, dress was casual. They wear blue jeans, oxford shirts and tennis shoes. Whether it was an after school sport, visiting the mall, or just watching T.V., seventh graders enjoyed their leisure time. iiSwlshl Shooting hoops after school is one thing basketball team member Amy Stadniczuk enjoys. m, 3': Autumn!

Go Blue! Were just some of the exciting activities that could be seen and heard on the Friday before the Ohio State - Michigan football game. Showing their spirit, students dressed up to support the team they most preferred. Students dressed in their favorite teams colors which were either scarlet and gray for Ohio State, or maize and blue for Michigan. For many years, the rivalry between the Buckeyes and Wolverines has overwhelmed our school. Michigan fan, Beth Richardville states, HI thought this year, dress up day was one of the best ever and I enjoyed observing the different outfits students wore. Spirits were high and a feeling of excitement filled the air as the Ohio State Buckeyes entered the Michigan Wolverine Stadium on Saturday, November 23rd. An enormously large crowd looked on as the Wolverine defense dominated the Buckeye offense. When the hnal whistle blew, the biggest game of the season ended with the Michigan Wolverines defeating the Ohio State Buckeyes by the score of 27-17. Ohio State fan, Heather Woods stated, HThe Buckeyes just had bad luck, but they will definitely learn from their mistakes and win easily next year. Michigan fan, Kim Horn commented, uMichigan will win again next year, because a Wolverine is always more fierce than a nut. Fashions 8t Fads They Do Influence Student Life! ashions were taken seriously by many students. Their favorite fashion choices were divided into three major categories; preppies, punks, and, the most favorite casual. In order to be considered a prep, boys wore dress pants, a button down the front shirt, and a tie. For girls a skirt or dress would be appropriate for this type of fashion. Freshman Craig Manz said, I dress prep because I think it's the fashion in style right now. Dean of Students, Mr. Hall didn't really approve of the punk fashion but luckily it was not one of the more popular categories. The punkers outhts consisted of just about anything that could be imagined, such as bandannas, jean jackets, and any other different looking articles of clothing. The punkers wanted to be different and dress in the type of mood they were in. Although the most popular category, the casual type of fashion was actually nothing out of the ordinary. People who came to school in a pair of jeans, any skirt, and tennis shoes fit in perfectly. Everyone had a different reason why they liked to dress the way they did. , Casualist Steve Smith said, I think a pair of jeans and tennis shoes are comfortable but sometimes I like to dress up in a shirt and tie. Whether it was preppie, punk or casual, all of the students dressed in the fashion they thought was appropriate to them.

Freshman Linda Szczurek looks at a Christmas Party invitation that a good friend had given her. Weekend Bashes Parties Entertain Teenagers e b arty all the time was a popular song this winter and that's what many students tried to do. Dancing, mingling, eating, and talking with friends were just a few of the things that occured during these get togethers. There were many different kinds of parties, Christmas parties, birthday parties, celebration parties, and parties just to relax. Most parties ran from seven to midnight or longer. Students preferred the times to be Friday or Saturday nights. Many students said that going to parties depended mostly on what their parents thought. Journalism teacher and parent Mr. Lewis Horn stated, ul think its good for young people to socialize, but you have to have rules too. Parents should be aware of who their children are with, and when they be home. Freshman Cheryl Werner stated, ul go to parties to have fun and to be with my friends. Freshman Todd Wielinski quotes, 1 like to go to parties because I can act normal. i Stacy Lammers Gary LaMunyon Sherry LaStrapes Lee Lavoy Tracie Lawrence Alyson Lein Jared Lennard james Leonard Mark Lindsey Mary Linzie Glenn Long Frederick Lorenzen leffrey Loughman David Maciejewski Melissa Madden Donald Maenle Leonard Magrum Kelli Mannor i Craig Manz Greg Marohn ,W; Julie Martin Marguerite Martin Scott Maunz Tina Mayhugh Laura McMuIlen Matthew McCloud Linda McLean lanie Melendez a Tina Mengerink Robert Merritt Bobbie Metroff Randy Metroff James Meyer Katrina Meyer , Angeline Milano ; Cameron Miller Carl Miller George Miller James Miller Melissa Miller Michelle Miller Sherry Miller Freshmenitis Fun Privileges For Freshmen hat is freshmanitis? its all the fun that went on this whole year. Also, it's the privilege of being the oldest and getting away with just about anything, like getting choice of classes and get- ting to participate in after school activities which the seventh and eighth graders didnt get a chance at. David Kleban stated, iiit's been a good year because my classes had a lot of different people in them and it's fun getting to know them. Darcie Shea said, It was a fun year for me. I met a lot of new people and overall had one terriHc year. Jenny Tiile thinks the year was different because, ttWe were the oldest and got a lot more privileges. After 3 years of waiting, it sure did pay off this year, said Jennie Pratt.

Freshman Roman Rimmer faces the embarassing predicament of having his books faIl on his head. Foul-ups, Blee s, and Blunders Students Survrved Numerous ncounters With Embarassment hat made many a face bright scarlet, and helped to make student life interesting? Embarassing moments did, of course. Through the course of the year, students experienced more than enough of these dreaded moments to last them a lifetime. Such incidents ranged from the flubbing of lines in an oral book report, to the taping of a itKlCK ME sign to the back of an innocent bystander. Occasionally, teachers even helped to embarass students. Students found that passing notes in class could result in the embarassing situation of having to read aloud a mush note from a friend. Even without help from the teachers, students con- stantly managed to distress themselves. During lunch, embarassment frequently showed its ugly face. Spilling ones lunch on his lap seemed slightly less than cool. On 26 occasions, students iireceived parts of other students' lunches, via uair mail . I got hit with a flying cherry pie in lunch, stated freshman Dave Macieiewski. Clumsiness caused plenty of embarassment. Stairs were fallen up and down. Unstable desks crashed to the ground when bumped. Books were spilled throughout the hallway, accidentally or as a crude joke, and retriev- ing them became a chore. Tripping in the mudhole served not only to embarass, but to dirty ones cIothing. Apart from these few examples, unsuspecting students found many new and different ways to make a spectacle of themselves. Freshman Theresa Bowling stated, HI was blowing up a balloon in my sixth hour, and it popped in front of everyone. My face turned as red as the balloon. Without embarassing moments, school might seem easier, but could it stay as much fun?

Lockers became lively when students decorated them with pictures of friends and favorite entertainers, stickers, mirrors and cut-outs from magazines. ul think everyone should decorate their lockers because it makes the hallways more interesting, commented freshman Jennifer Patton. Balloons, steamers, and signs were added to surprise friends on birthdays, to say farewell to someone who was moving away, or to inspire an athlete on the day of a game. Locker clean-ups were held throughout the year and students dug down to the bottom of their lockers to find old lunches, homework and overdue library books. iil'm glad they have clean-ups because it gives me a chance to sort through the pile on the bottom of my locker, remarked freshman Jared Lennard. Students have shut their lockers for the last time, but the style, thoughts and spirit that once showed in their lockers will remain in their minds always. What a locker!

Something every student dreaded. Study- ing late into the night and trying to remember; how to work a certain algebra problem, what hydrochloric acid and shell produce when mixed, or what the capital of Mississippi is, was what many students did the night before exams. Exams were held at the end of each semester. They reviewed what students had learned in the last eighteen weeks. uExams are important because they give a comprehensive review of the quarter and give students a chance to bring up his or her grade with a little study, stated eighth grade history teacher Mr. Theron Brown. Exams were a big part of a students semester grade. Usually the exam counted as one third or one fourth of a studentis grade. if a student had a low grade, they could make it up by getting a good grade on their exam. I dont like to study for exams but sometimes they help my semester grade, stated eighth grader Leslie Cole.

Slang Lanvguage Using It in Unusual 66 lang- lslangln e an informal nonstandard vocabulary composed of coinages, changed words, and extravagant, or facetious figures of speech. Slang words and phrases were used by most students. This year, students had their own special vocabulary. The most used slang words were massive, awesome, and dude. Others that didn't make much sense were nerd, dork and geek. l like to use the word iawesome' a lot, stated eighth grader Greg Clarke. A definition of dude usually was a name given to anybody who was included in the iiin-crowd . The term awesome, was given to anything that seemed likeable, very good, or out of the ordinary. The word massive meant something or somebody big, strong, good or just plain cool. What was a dork? What was a geek? Ofcourse, a nerd was a dork, a dork was a geek, and a nerd was a geek. Eighth grader, jeff Barber said, We know that all nerds are meatheads. Put-downs were also used to humiliate each other. You could've said to your foe, phrases like, Is that your face? Or did they learn how to grow hair on meatballs? Tom Owen, eighth grader, stated, ulf we didn't have any slang it would be a boring language.

Some were square, some rectangle, and some were even triangular. No matter what they looked like or when they were passed, they all con- tained many secrets and important matters that needed to be sorted out. Students passed notes to lind answers to questions that were on their minds like, llWhat time's that party on Friday? , or Who is he going with now? Then there were those who wrote just to waste time. Eighth grader Jody Owczarzak stated, ill wrote notes so I could talk to my friends silently during class when I couldnt talk to them freely. Everyone passed different types of notes during the year. Some were to close friends telling about problems like, My boyfriend or girlfriend broke up with me. While others could be to a girlfriend or boyfriend stating, ul love you, or iii want to break up. All in all, notes were a form of communication between the students, with many of life's problems enclosed. What did teachers do with notes intercepted from students? Mrs. Norma Self stated, I read them then usually threw them away. This was not always the case though. Some teachers liked to read them aloud or they even made students read them. if they were really bad, the teacher would confront the student or even involve the principal and their parents. Most of the time though, it was just an embarassing moment. Some notes answered important questions, but mostly they kept our schools social life active. 34 Caught In the act!

These were seen and heard as students sat packed together at the many assemblies presented by the school. Whether it was a pep assembly, where students screamed and cheered for athletes of different sports, or a Christmas concert where they sat and listened to seasonal music, students were always excited to be able to leave their classes to watch an enjoyable show. Eighth grader Ken Jocobs stated, HMy favorite assembly was a pep assembly because you get to be with your friends and show your spirit. The student council also put on many other assem- biies such as the high school Soiree Singers for ninth, a trampoline exhibition and the yearly awards assembly. Eighth grader Steffanie Wozniak stated, iiMy favorite assembly was the awards assembly because I like see- ing who wins the various awards.

Things such as hair style, eye color, smile, hair color and build were what girls noticed in guys and what guys noticed in girls. For hair, most students liked short, bobbed or curly styles and blonde hair the best. The favorite eye color, among all grades was blue. Many people thought eyes were a very important fea- ture. Eighth grader, Jody Owczarzak stated, I look at guys' eyes first because they give the face character. Freshman Darrin Posta also said, ul like girls with brown or blue eyes because they're the most noticeable feature on the face. But eighth grader Matt Wagenhauser said, I get turned on by girls' legs, especially if they're thin. Not everyone noticed eyes and build though. I think ' a nice smile is important because it shows that the person has a good personality, remarked seventh grader, Stephanie Porter. In determining friends, physical appearance came first. The way people looked influenced the rest of the crowd. As friends became better acquainted, they dis- covered that appearance led to different personalities and more friendships. You've got the look! Blue eyes and blonde hair were the favorite eye and hair colors among the student body.

This was a common sight when a student celebrated his or her birthday. Many times, lists of students whose birthdays took place on that day, were read over the PA. system. During lunch was also a time when birthdays were celebrated. Birthday cakes were often baked for friends and then presented to them by Mr. Duane R. Hall, Dean of Students. He would display the cake to the rest of the students in the Iunchroom before asking the receiver to make a wish and blow out the candles. ill bring cakes to school because I want my friends to be humiliated in front of everyone and it's really funny to watch them, seventh grader Amy Johnson commented. Students enjoyed birthdays for various reasons. I like the surprise of the presents, stated freshman Stacy Lammers.

Many exciting things happened in the lunchroom. For example, the Halloween dress up contest was judged during all lunch hours. Freshman Bob Merritt said, I dressed up because you can see how creative you can be compared to your friends. Celebrating a friend's birthday was also a favorite. Singing happy birthday and giving presents was the normal tradition. The Halloween painting contest which was held earlier in the fall, showed the talent of our student artists. Cash prizes were awarded to the placewinners. Many events sponsored by our student council were also held in the cafeteria. The annual slave auction was held for a different purpose this year. The student council donated the money to the Matthew Stacy Fund and the Butchie Cook Fund. liThe slave auction was pretty funny and held for a good purpose, quoted eighth grader Brian Wingate. SpiritWeek, also sponsored by student council, really let everyone show their wild side. tiSpirit Week was probably the funniest week of school, seventh grader Joe Joly added.

There was always an excuse for not having homework, and teachers heard them all, especially in first hour classes. Missing the bus, not having homework in on time, or getting caught doing something wrong, all required the need for an excuse. Betsy Krupp stated, Most people don't do their homework when they're supposed to, and when it comes time for them to turn it in, they start making up excuses to stay out of trouble! Excuses were not only heard at school, but also many times at home. Each weekend parents were given an excuse for something, whether it was to go to the mall, get some clothes, orjust to keep from being grounded. ln gym, more and more excuses were given each day. Most girls used the excuse of twisting their ankles, or feeling sick, so they could get out of gym class! commented Erin Vandergrift.

Angela Wojcik Chad Wolneiwicz Heather Workman Beth Wyckhouse Elizabeth Wymer Gary Wymer Brian Young School Buses Just a Form of Transportation? urry up! Here comes the bus! H A place to linish homework, socialize and prepare for the day at school was provided by the buses this year. Though making it out to the bus stop on time was a bit of a task sometimes, and the ride was bumpy, most students agreed that bus transportation was a good idea. Freshman student Geneva Bellestri stated, lil'm glad we have buses, because if we didn't, I would have to ride with all five of my brothers! Eighth grader Jenny Sowards said, ul like the bus because it gives me time to talk with my friends. I don't like the bus because it takes me to school! stated eighth grade student Tammy Odom, jokingly. The buses also took our sports teams to neighboring schools for their games. On the way home, the athletes could be heard laugh- ing and discussing the victory. After a defeat, it was a place to talk out mistakes and revive that Well get em next time attitude. Butalthough buses are a good, safe form of transpor- tation, it takes a lot of money to provide students with this service. The continuation or dropping of the bus program, depended this year on how much money the school had. F reshman student leana Campey stated, ttl think buses are a good idea because when the teams go to different schools, they can be together and support each other. llm glad we have buses because if we didnt most mornings, my parents wouldn't be able to take me to school.

Principal, Mr. Wjames P. McHugh did a number of things for the school. One thing that took a lot of his time was balancing the budget. Every month Mr. McHugh had to make sure that all of the money gets used in the correct way. The budget included utility bills, textbooks, salaries and any other supplies a teacher may need. Mr. McHugh said that the lack of money created a great hinderance for all of the teachers and students. . Assistant principal, Mr. Ronald Polek did several things this year. He said he really enjoyed making schedules. It's like a giant puzzle to get every student in the right place at the right time, Mr. Polek commented. This year he had to make room for three French classes and two journalism classes. He needed a balance in all the classes. He also helped arrange the new study skills center. Student council also takes much of his time. He was working with student council, coordinating events such as dances, dress up and color days. He also helped to change the slave day from , spring to winter. Discipline! To some students that was the only word in the vocabulary of the clean of students, Mr. Duane R. Hall. In fact he did a number of things. He was a su- pervisor in the cafeteria. He chaperoned dances and other school events and he talked to parents and teachers about discipline problems. Mr. Hall said that he doesnt like to suspend students. He likes to talk to the student to find out what punishment will be better for them, whether it would be penalty hall, parent con- ference, or suspension. He said, some rules become more and more dimcult to enforce. The dress code, for example, was hard to enforce because of the type of clothes being worn today. Typing was a major part of the secretaries work. They typed all of the yearbook copy for journalism and did any typing the principal and teachers needed. They tilled out passes and absence slips for students and set appointments for the principal and assistant. Due to minimal funds, students who wanted copies were charged ten cents. Because only the secretaries were allowed to use the copier, much more work was in- volved for them. Mrs.Alice Albring 3A ' I 7Hlstory L 3?

Lots of Homework As Much Work for Teachers eachers doing llhomework? Yes, teachers did many things for homework, such as, grade papers and work on their lesson plan. lfl were to average the time that I spent on grading papers, it would have averaged out to be about one and a half hours daily, stated Mathematics teacher Mrs. Janice Carter. On the average, most teachers spent about two hours daily working on grading papers. They also spent another two hours working on their lesson plan. Many teachers also had extracurricular activities to work on after school. For example, Mrs. Judith Aubry taught calligraphy. She worked on her calligraphy lesson for approximately two hours per week. Many other teachers spent extra time after school supporting after school activities. Social Studies teacher, Mrs. Sue Stanifer commented, I tried to go to all the freshman football and basketball games. In addition to their everyday classes, teachers also spent many hours working on their homework to give their students a good education. Mr. Charles Horvath 1 Mathematicsn Physlcal Education Discipline Why is It Necessary?? 0 o iscipline is necessary in school to keep a D good atmosphere for everyone and is more positive than negative, stated Principal, Mr. McHugh. The school discipline policy was enforced the mo- ment a student got on the bus in the morning until he got off in the evening. Mr. McHugh stated, The school's discipline policy was also enforced at all school projects and events such as football games, basketball games, dances and so forth. All the teachers were permitted to carry out the policy for discipline when they felt it was necessary. Mr. McHugh quoted, The teachers act as the parents when the students are in school. Different teachers had different types of discipline for students who broke the rules. Some teachers would make the student write a 1,000 word report on how to behave and some preferred the old fashioned way, they burned them. Other methods were being put in the corner, doing push-ups in gym, lowering their grade, or given penalty hall after school. ill usually just ' told the student what would happen if he disturbed the class again, which was subtracting points from their tinal grade, stated science teacher Mrs. Audra Hodge. Had you been in Mrs. McQueenls class and decided to goof off by doing something wrong or dozing off while class was in progress, something unusual would have happened to you. If a student fell asleep in class, the rule was, anything was fair play, stated English and speechldrama teacher, Mrs. McQueen. A few of her unique penalties given out in the past were: putting a student out to pasture by the flag pole while still asleep; pouring lotion down a sleeping victim's back; tying the shoes together for a student who insisted on having his shoes on the desk and taking ashoe of a person in need of something to borrow so they would remember to give it back Different students also preferred different types of disciplines. lfl had the choice between a 1,000 word report on discipline or a burn, I would probably take the burn, stated freshman Dan Greenwald. Freshman Brad Kania stated, I would have probably taken a written penalty or penalty hall than a burn. Even though most students didn't like discipline, drafting teacher, Mr. Fred Desch stated, iiDiscipline is necessary to create an orderly environment that enhances the learning experience.

Staff Activities Extra Jobs Add Spice To Day eing jumped over by a gymnast, dressing up as ghosts and goblins on Halloween Dress-Up Day, or trying to duck flying food in the cafeteria while they patrol the kids are some activities that teachers are involved in besides teaching. During the assemblies, several teachers participated in the activities on center stage for fun. For example, at the First assembly, Mr. Horn and Mr. Bankowski dressed up as football players from the Bedford and Sylvania teams, to represent the rivalry between the two schools. Mrs. Szymanski also participated in the first assembly when she introduced the cheerleaders, and the president of Student Council. The Halloween Dress-Up Day was also a big hit with teachers. Mrs. Striggow dressed up as an army recruit, Mr. Hall disguised himself as a farmer, and Mrs. Bacon just covered her face with a comical party mask! Many teachers also dressed up for Ohio State - Michigan Day, wearing the colors of the team they were rooting for. Color Day also inspired teachers to wear our schools colors, red and white. Last, but not least, some of the teachers were assigned to cafeteria duty. In other words, these teachers kept the kids in order during lunch. This in- cluded stopping food fights, handing out paper napkins, and announcing birthdays. Mr. Horn, Mr. Kreuchauf, Mrs. Striggow, Mrs. Digby, Mr. Brown, and Mrs. Zemla were all privileged enough to be assigned this wonderful duty! iiAll in all, math teacher, Mrs. Bacon commented, tl think that our extra activities besides teaching added a lot of spice to our lives!

Organizing Events Student Council Benefits Many hat would school be like without Student Council? This popular group sponsored fun activities to make the year more exciting. They did everything from organizing pep assemblies and dress-up day to scheduling dances and fund raisers. The excitement began with council elections. Petitions were signed and the voting began. With it's four officers; President, Raschelle Elgin; Vice President, Buffy Williams; Secretary, Heather Reed; and Treasurer, Chad Swan, the council ran smoothly. The eight representatives from each grade helped make signs and decorate for dances. i1 thought being on Student Council was fun because I got the chance to do something for my school since this was my First year here, stated seventh grade representative, Marcie Bihn. They enhanced the seasons with dress-up day dances, and Hspirit week . In the fall, halloween Dress- Up Day excited everyone. Different costumes were dis- played and judged for prizes. Dances and Slave Auction bids brought in funds for important causes such as Matt Stacy's liver transplant. iiBeing on the council gives me a chance to help the school out on fund raisers. commented seventh grade representative, Starr Stockton.

The students who did this devoted their time to help out the science teachers or helped keep order in the media center. How did one become a lab or library assistant? All a person had to do was ask a science teacher to be a lab assistant, or ask Mr. Palicki to be a library helper, and wait for them to check out past records, such as grades and behavior. Most lab and library assistants took the job to be with their friends or to get out of study hall. Lab assistant Kelly Mulherin stated, Being a Lab Assistant was more fun than just sitting around in study hall. The favorite jobs of the lab assistants were grading tests while the least favorite was cleaning the counters because they were chemical stained and a lot of scrub- bing was required. Library workers had a different tone of work. The jobs mostly dealt with clerical work such as filing cards and getting books in order to be put on the shelves. Of the various jobs in the media center, the most dis- liked job was shelving; no one preferred doing it. The most enjoyed jobs for the library helpers were delivering pass slips and carding books. Many people became library workers for an extra half credit or to escape study hall, but some students had different reasons for working at the library like Carrie Riffle who stated, ttl worked at the school library for ex- perience so I could get a job at the Bedford Library dur- ing the summer. Library worker, Adam Zolciak stated, I enjoyed work- ing in the library because it gave me experience for media work and I got to see all the new books; not to mention the half creditf' All the lab and library assistants did their work during their study hall period with the ex- ception of those working in the library instead of gym due to an injury.

Clarinet instructor, Mr. Mark Walbus said, llLessons are benefi- cial because they increase teacher to students interac- tion time. Every Tuesday, in preparation for concerts, bands were broken down into sections and led by an in- structor. The sections worked on such things as tuning, intonation and difficult parts in a song. Both bands played a concert at Christmas time and also played one in the spring. The bands made a trip to Cedar Point on may 3 1 st to end a year of hard work. 761 Grade Band from low: Amy Ratcliff, Amy Greeley, Connie Sheeley, Tracy Slawinski, Veronica Thanasiu, Shannon O'Connell, Cory Eaton, Kim Arno, Jennifer Markiey, Mary White.

Unique enturing to a French Restaurant to sample a French dinner, celebrating Christmas in the French or Spanish tradition, or taking a summer trip to Canada to get a taste of the ways of the French, were a few things that the foreign language clubs did this year. Foreign language teacher, Ms. Robyn Snow, started the foreign language clubs two years ago. This year, Spanish Club had forty-four members and French Club had sixty-four students involved. French club members had a chance to practice their skills when they ventured downtown to the Chez Colette at the Hotel Sohtel for a French dinner. French Club member, Susan Vandeerucht, commented, I really enjoyed going to the Chez Colette. The whole idea of talking in French to order food, and just the French atmosphere was extremely enlightening. Dur- ing the summer, French Club plans to take a trip to Canada. They will travel by train and stay at a hotel. Spanish Club members also went to a restaurant, the Ed Matador in Toledo, where they used their newly acquired language skills. The Christmas party was really fun. Celebrating Christmas in the Spanish tradition and feeding my face was indulging! remarked Spanish Club member Jenny Harpster. Both of the foreign language clubs went to Cedar Point at the end of the year, as a last group activity. Another group that many students were part of was the National Junior Honor Society.

Both clubs enabled the students to show off their talent. For the past two years, Mrs. Sue Berry has had a sing- ing group called First Edition. It was made up of several freshmen who eitherjust enjoyed singing or planned on making a career out of singing. First Edition member Karen King stated, HI like to sing and dance because its fun and it gives me the chance to show off my abililty in front of an audience. First Edition gave students a chance to show fellow students and teachers their talent and it also gave them a chance to explore their hobby. The Calligraphy Club, under the direction of Mrs. Judith Aubry also gave students a chance to explore a hobby. Unlike First Edition, the Calligraphy Club was open to anyone. High school students, Junior High Students and even parents were involved in this club to try and improve their writing skills. Both groups expanded the skills of the students in- volved and gave them something to remember in the years to come. 68 Nervous?

The qualifications are ambition, work, time, ten dollars insurance, a physical and fifteen dollars particie pation fee. So why are sports so popular? The pay is sometimes a nervous stomach, losing a game, or even an injmy. But the benefits are becoming physically fit, a chance at competition and making new friends. . Whether it was tlying to decrease our times in track, ' racing the clock down the court, or maybe trying to pin an opponent in the last few seconds, time spent in sports was a worthwhile investment.

Bedford returned home victorious with a score of 27-0 over one of our toughest opponents. This was one of our most important victories. The team spent long hours after school every day preparing for each game. Wingback Clay Anderson stated, ilFor me the toughest part of practice was the running. We all really worked hard. The players, for the most part, were pleased with their performance. Fullback Steve Edwards commented, lil was really satisfied with the way we played against Monroe Jefferson. They had been defeated for three years. Even though we lost, we were ahead until the last three minutes of the game. I think we really did well. Not only did each player have to work individually, they also needed to work together.

Saturda Football Readies Payers for 86 Season etting up early Saturday morning to engage in a tough game of football doesn't exactly sound like fun to most people, but to gain experience and talent the eighth and seventh grade football teams knew it had to be done. Practicing four times a week, the blue, black, red and yellow teams learned plays for upcoming games. Matt Wangenhauser of the yellow team, coached by Mr. Gary Wymer, commented, ttThe worst part of practice was running laps. With a lot of hard practice, the blue team, coached by Mr. Jim Sugg, went undefeated again this year. Matt Fotnwald of the blue team stated, I'm glad our team did as well as they did and l was proud to be on the team. Seventh graders were added to the once all eighth grade football program. Dan Rector of the black team, coached by Mr. Bob Maunz, commented, I think the seventh graders should have to wait a year, but some of them were good. 75 Girls Basketball First Game Sets Tone For Season osing a first game in hard fought overtime, might Ldiscourage most basketball teams, but for the freshman girls team, it just gave them determina- tion. The majority of the team agreed that the most challenging and exciting game was the opener against Livonia Franklin. Jenny Bagrowski, a forward for the team, stated, The score was tied in the last minute. When we lost by one point in overtime, we still felt we had made a good effort. The team was under a new coach this year. Mr. Ed Mazur replaced former coach, Mr. Joe Cothem after he resigned. Mr. Mazur, who coached before, felt he should get involved with the program again. A record of 7-4 proved their team learned from the First loss. The whole team felt their victories were earned and well deserved. Forward Sara Spice commented, We worked hard to meet our goals! Throughout the season, they experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. They worked, sweated, won, and lost together. We improved so much since last year. We worked more as a team rather than individually , stated guard Beth Saunders.

For the seventh graders, it was their first year in basketball and they had no idea what was in store for them. The eighth graders, having a year ex- perience, also felt nervous because they knew their opponents were tough. The eighth graders played their toughest opponent, St. Anthony's with great speed and accuracy. llWe played a tough team but we worked together to win , stated eighth grade forward Connie Adams. The coach for the eighth grade team was Anne Montri who really kept the girls on their toes. ttThe extra hard and long practices after school helped us greatly during the game, eighth grader Connie Adams commented. til felt we played well as a team and everyone cooperated well! stated 8th grade guard Tonya Leffel.

Challen nged Players Obtain most memorable times for the boys basketball team was a hard-fought double overtime game against St. John's. Even though the Cagers lost the tough battle by five points, they displayed their deter- mination by forcing a strong St. John's team into double overtime. The boys were under the new coaching of Mr. Greg Duhaime, a former Bedford graduate and varsity basketball player. Mr. Duhaime said he thought the team had been successful. iii was pleased with the season. We were successful comparing our size to other teams, Mr. Duhaime said. The team had to struggle through the season with a severe problem, lack of height. The tallest player was Tom Skellie who is six feet one and a half inches. This was one of our weak points. Lack of height led to bad rebounding another weak point of the team, stated guard Mike Gladieux. According to the team's opinion, height didn't mean everything. uWe had good hustle and a strong defense that helped us win games, stated guard Gary Muszyn- ski. Throughout the season, Mike Gladieux was the high scorer, scoring an average of fourteen points per game. Mike was also named most valuable player of the season. The leading rebounders for the season were Gary LaMunyon and Tom Skellie. The thrill and excitement of overtime! One of the Expenence! Players Learn New Skills through a learning transition, said coach Frank Treibar. The team's record didnit show what they have learned. Coach Treibar said, My sixteen boys took a huge step in the progress of their basketball skills The team played against teams that were tougher and more organized because of their advantage of time spent together. The important thing this year is that the kids came out of Community Ed basketball and became a team, stated Treibar. All the other teams had the advantage of playing together years before this, so that's why this being the first year together was so vital. Co-captain, guard, Matt Oswald said, I had fun and found out what real competition was. Bill Fortuna one of the centers stated, I feel organized basketball helped me much more than another year in Commu- nity Ed would have. The situation of having to do things other than making your own decisions was a real change, stated Bruce Craven. Fortuna also said, che team was at first awed by disciplined teams but then we became more confident. 6 oThe young 8th grade basketball team went ; a front Row: Bill Kinney.

As the only Freshmen team in the tournament, they did amazingly well by winning three of their six games. HI think we did really well. We finally worked together as a team, stated Jenny Bagrowski. Volleyball is a team sport and the team knew to be the best they had to work well together. They had to communicate and watch the ball constantly, knowing it could come their way. Encouraging and psyching other team mates was also just as important. There were seventeen Freshmen who made the squad. Trisha Stoner and Mary Linzie were picked as team captains. Beth Saunders commented, Trisha and Mary are really good players and show a lot of team spirit. Everyone knows no team is complete without a coach. Mona Shay, a former student at Bedford, gave the team experience they needed for their First year. Hi liked having a coach that's young because she can relate to us. Her support helped us a lot, stated Sara Spice. Coach Mona Shay commented, I think they over came their lack of experience but there is room for im- provement. All the girls put forth a lot of hard work. They practiced almost everyday and over Christmas Vaca- tion. uWe practiced mostly on our serving, stated Dawn Post.

Goals are achieved by hard work and dedication, and the young team was certainly dedicated. Many goals were reached through the season, but two seemed the most important to wrestlers and coaches. One was the winning of the Liberty Center Tournament. Coach Hofbauer said, Winning the Liberty Center Tourney for the First time was great. The dual meets were usually dominated by the wrestlers, but one loss came to a tough Romulus team. Later in the season they had a rematch with Romulus and crushed them. Undefeated Wrestler, Brian Wingate said, Two weeks later we were prepared and beat them. llPracticing with the freshmen was really a learning process for us, said Nick Buchanan who was also un- defeated. Practicing hve days a week and sometimes on Saturdays and cutting weight were the toughest part of the year for most wrestlers. The team consisted of mainly first year wrestlers that improved during the season. Coach Hofbauer said, ulfl had to pick a wrestler that improved over the past two years it would be Erik Krieger. The eighth grade team was not undefeated, but their hard work led to a record ofwhich they can all be proud. Intense Coaches Hofbauer and Gosbeth look intentively in a close win over Romulus. 88 8th Grade 5-1 Bedford 27 vs Romulus 38 Bedford 40 vs Romulus 33 Bedford 69 vs Lincoln Park 3 Bedford 67 vs Whitmer 16 Bedford A St B l 12 vs DeVeaux 17 Bedford 60 vs Southgate 18 Victory After pinning his opponent.

It also gives me a sense of accomplishment, freshman hurdles and sprinter Cheryl Werner said. The opportunity to run track was available to any girl who was interested in running. Each girl has to be in- terested before she can meet any goals or become a good runner, distance runner Danielle Ransom said. if the runners had a field event, they completed that before they began their workout. The sprinters and dis- tance runners folIow different workout schedules. The sprinters usually ran in the sand dunes or were on the track, while the distance runners ran between five and eight miles. uThe sense of accomplishment was what really kept their determination going, stated Coach Tim Cady. uI really enjoyed watching them improve their running as the season progressed.

Cheering Psyches p Teams illing the stands with enthusiasm, raising spirits, Fand cheering on to victory were a few of the many tasks that the cheerleaders and pep club members did. Try-outs were held for the 1986 cheerleading squad in the spring of last year. Try-outs consisted of learning three jumps and memorizing, and performing both a cheer and a chant. The pep club members simply volunteered, but they did have to have loud voices and enthusiastic spirits. Mrs. Joyce Szymanski was the advisor for both cheerleading and pep club, which consisted of seventh, eighth, and ninth graders, all having an equal share of leadership. The cheerleaders and pep club cheered mainly for the freshmen boys basketball and football players. Freshmen cheerleader, Kris Pasko stated, Our best game was when the Bedford freshmen boys challenged Tecumseh in basketball. All the cheerleaders cheered well, were in a good mood, and after the game we were congratulated by the Tecumseh cheerleaders for doing a great job. Freshman pep club member Tracy Kessler stated, I thought pep club was fun, and i enjoyed trying to make the students rowdy while cheering on teams, 1 also thought creating signs for the players made it even more enjoyable.

Repeated millage failures made learning more diffi- cult. Outdated textbooks, crowded dassrooms, lack of teaching supplies and a general uncertainty of the fu- t ture, were some of the problems we faced. However, the deditated staff and cooperation from the student body helped us get through. A The time we spent in the classroom wit! pay off in the future.

Scientific Students Moving Forward To Discovery fter the second bell rang seventh grade students Abegan to collect the things necessary to disect a worm. Exacto knives, pins to hold the worm down, and last of all, the Wiggly worms. Seventh graders took life science for one semester and physical science for the other. Life science deals with animals and their habitat. In life science students took a look at a cheek cell in a microscope and even made a leaf collection. in physical science students saw a teacher demonstrate how to measure wavelengths. Students who were in physical science learned about machines and iimechanics . The sickest part in life science was when we disect- ed worms, commented seventh grader, Diane DuBry. All of the eighth grade classes worked out of a book called Natural World Science II. The teachers sometimes let the students set their own pace and take their tests when they were ready, but others worked as a class which usually gave the students better test scores. In eighth grade science, students made bread in a yeast experiment, although the bread sometimes didnit turn out as expected. Some of the mistakes students made were, not letting the dough rise or using too much of one ingredient. Freshmen had a chance to study two different subjects involving science. Earth science, the study of the earth, and Life science, doing experiments with animals and people. iiThe best part about life science was holding and tak- ing care of the animals, stated Freshman Jenny Sanderson. In life science disecting grasshoppers and hsh was an exciting project, along with designing individual projects and having a chance to write to Senators ex- pressing feelings about a problem in the community or country. in the earth science class, students had the opportu- nity to launch rockets seeing how high they went and what sort of chemicals were needed to launch the rocket. Along with discussing openly the space shuttle disaster and how it happened, some students went outside to take readings on the weather. Most students agreed that they enjoyed the freedom of science, by being able to move around and experience new things. 98 x 1 ..

Along with utilizing the lives of his students, Mr. Horvath and the rest of the Math teachers knew that when they saw a student smile after solving a hard problem, they had accomplished a difficult task. Seventh grader, Terry Cassell stated, ttMr. Horvathi always compares me to people in the story problems. it used to bother me, butl notice now, it helped me a lot. Seventh graders liked their first year of either general math or pre-algebra. til didn't mind math class. it was the homework on weekends that i didnt care for, stated seventh grader, Lisa Wells. Those students in pre-algebra enjoyed the class be- cause after they learned how to solve a problem, it was easy. Seventh grader, Shelly Hall commented, It was hard at First but, it was worth it. Both eighth and ninth graders worked on general Math or Algebra. Some ninth graders made it through a tough year of geometry. Those students that had algebra agreed that graphing equations was the most fun. iii liked graphing the equations better than solving them, stated freshman, Rebecca Gulch. Mr. Rick Nirschl, freshman general math and algebra teacher stated, til enjoy teaching algebra because its a challenging subject to teach.

Not All Grammar Students Find English Exciting ouns, verbs, adjectives, prepositions - these weren't the only things students studied in English classes. Each class proved that there was much more to English than grammar. Many freshmen's favorite part of the year was doing career contracts. It helped them to find what particular jobs interested them, and to get a head start for their futures. til liked the careers unit because it helped to prepare me for the business world, stated Freshman Jennifer Patton. Freshmen also read great novels such as A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, and Romeo and lullet by William Shakespeare. Creative writing classes wrote short stories and braved the outdoors to write impressions for each changing season. Whehter it was doing a skit or giving a speech, many speech and drama students learned to feel more con- fident when performing in front of audiences. Eighth graders also had an interesting year. They performed plays and also read The Diary of Anne Frank while seventh graders performed demonstration speeches and made their own books for the The Young Authors Writing Contest. Both grades also competed in the schools annual spelling bee. No matter what grade or class they were in, students learned much more about English than just a, e, i, o, and u. Flnlshlng Touches! During third hour English, seventh graders Brett Parachek, Joni Campey and Betsy Krupp Finish their books to enter in the Young Author's Contest. Our Country A Look At Past And Present peeches on the great explorers, study of the wars and the issue of laws and punishment; history and law and society gave us a better un- derstanding of the past and present. To learn how to cover a court case, some law and society classes were asked to choose a case from a list and write a report on one of them. Stated Freshman Jarrod Keller, HI really enjoyed law and society. Everything we learned will continue to be helpful all through life. News quiz was one of the educational-fun activities done in a number of history classrooms. Consisting of questions about recent news subjects, it lltested students on how well they were keeping up with both area and national news. Eighth grader Jason Nimphie stated, lll liked News quiz because it was a change from the usual class- room schedule.

Classes such as art, music, drafting, shop, sewing and cooking added spice to the year. Seventh graders had one semester of both music, in which they put on a play for students, and art where they learned basic art skills and made different projects. Eighth graders had a variety of classes. Each quarter held something new. In one quarter they had drafting, where they learned how to draw blueprints, and the other half of the quarter was shop where they made such projects as shelves, key chains, pencil holders and picture frames. ill really learned a lot from shop and really had fun, stated eighth grader Doug Steinman. Another quarter was split between cooking and sew- ing. In cooking, eighth graders learned the basics of cooking. ln sewing, students learned how to sew and had a project due such as a shirt, apron, or sweatpants. Also, one quarter was devoted to both music and art. Freshmen students got a choice of what they wanted for unified arts. If they chose shop and drafting much harder projects were taught such as robotics in shop or silkscreening in drafting. I enjoy Industrial Art because it's preparing me for my future career, said freshman lason Hurley. lf cooking was chosen much more advanced cooking was taught, like yeast breads and layered cakes. In sewing, more complicated clothing was made. lason Grey said, ill enjoyed cooking because it prepared me for my future when I'm on my own. Unified arts benefits all students. First, it makes school more enjoyable because you get a variety of classes. Second, the time spent on these classes will help students in their later life.

Gym Classes Improve Athletic Ability , ym . . . to some people, terrific, to other people terrorizing. Jerrod Lennard, 9th grader said Gym is a relief, it breaks me away from the rest of the school work. One person that found gym terrorizing was 9th grader Eric Webber. Tln Volleyball, stated Eric, I always managed to hit the lights and wrestling, 1 always forgot to take my shoes off. Let's face it, I got caught doing everything I wasn't supposed to do. The seventh grade, if not in band, went to gym every other day, alternating with careers. The eighth grade reported to gym everyday excluding band students. Finally, the ninth grade went to gym every other day, going to health on the alternate day. Among the activities this year were speedball, volley- ball, basketball, wrestling, and flag football. The girls and boys both participated in these games. Darron Signs, 9th grader, commented, uEverything was fun, but I guess I liked basketball the most. Eighth grader Andy Shealy, Volleyball was fun be- cause we had a good team. Helpful Classes Alternate to Physical Ed reathing into Anatomic Annie or listening to a doctor discuss surgery techniques were just a few things Health and Career Awareness classes did this year. Health was attended by all ninth graders on the days they didn't have gym. While Career awareness was attended by all seventh graders also as their alternate day to gym. In Health, students did such things as construct their own skeleton and learn CPR techniques. Career classes had business speakers come in to discuss their jobs. Most seventh graders also felt that the business speakers were the high point of their career class. Seventh grader Tina Gembreska stated, I really enjoyed having guest speakers come in to tell us about their careers. Many freshman felt that Health classes would help them in the future. Freshman Karla Oberle stated, Hlfsomeone was badly injured, 1 would know how to treat them. Most students felt that Health and Careers taught them many helpful tips for the future. l In the news Seventh graders Rachel Kremnec and Troy Travis work on newspaper studies in Mrs. Krisher's Careers class.

Choosing Classes Different Electives rove Helpful. lectives: freshmen enjoyed choosing some of their own classes. Some students dreamt of someday traveling to a foreign country; what better way to get prepared than to take a foreign language class. Students could either take French, Spanish, or German. Some others had dreams of pursuing a business career. Their choice was general business and typing. These electives were offered to insure a promising fu- ture. Taking typing and general business classes proved to be very beneficial. Freshman Michelle Romak stated, iii think that being in general business class helped me un- derstand more about the business field and the oppor- tunities that are open to me. Freshman Missy Krohn commented, typing class helped me to be more skillful with my hands. Freshman Edy Remley said, til took typing so I could learn how to work with computers easier. The language classes also were highly enjoyed by many of the ninth graders. Freshman Stacy Wingate stated, HI wanted to take a foreign language class be- cause it sounded fun and you need it to get into college. Freshman Tracy Kessler commented, I took Spanish because it sounded exciting and also because it was something I've never had the opportunity to do before. Most students agree that in taking these classes, they learned something new and something helpful for their future. What does this mean? Freshman Brad Holmes asks Ms. Snow what a word means in third hour French class. Whafs the special today?

Journalists Strive for Excellence Students Work to Complete Newspaper and Yearbook Deadlines riting articles, rushing to make deadlines, and smiling at the finished product, students ex- perienced each of these in journalism. The journalism staff consisted of 40 writers, headed by teacher and advisor, Mr. Lewis Horn. Students found they had quite a tradition to uphold. ln CSPAls annual contest, last years yearbook won a silver medal, and the newspaper was a medalist award winner, one of the highest ratings it could receive. According to Mr. Horn, the tradition lives on. He stated, I think both publica- tions were very well done this year. We anticipate hav- ing some successes in the contests welve entered. Staff members worked in small groups, trying to cap- ture memories in the pages of the yearbook. Each group designed a two page spread, decided what pictures should be on the page, and where each picture should go. They also wrote captions, headlines, and copy for their layout. The staff had three important yearbook deadlines to meet. Each month, students were required to write a story for the newspaper. After the stories were graded, the best written and most important were chosen and printed in the paper. Newspaper work didn't stop there, however. Slightly larger groups were formed, and each group was assigned a page. These groups received stories, pictures, cartoons, etc. and carefully arranged them on the page. The group then proceeded to write headlines and captions. Journalism student, Rob Grindle stated, I liked newspaper paste- up more thah laying out the yearbook, because we had larger groups and, unlike yearbook work, we could see exactly what the finished page would look like. Most found that the satisfaction of seeing the final product was worth all the hard work that they put into it.
