Cruise the halls, check out the lunch- room, burn through the mall, party hardy ,til your tardy. The action includes sports, social life, clubs, and academ- ics. The movement never seems to cease. Look into the rear-view mirror and find food fights, slave day, pep rallies and practical jokes that were a normal part of the daily school routine, reflected back at you. The faculty members never let you forget the moving violations of the race down the hall to beat the bell. Fasten your seat belts, throw caution to the winds, ignore the 55 MPH. speed limit, and let your spirits soar. Now ease the seat back, relax. Turn up the volume of your memories, and let the images flash through your mind. Table of Contents Page 4 Student Life Page 18 Academics Page 38 People Page 74 Sports Page 102 Activities X; 1 Hurry!

A t-shirt or sweater, jeans and a pair of Nike tennis shoes were the types of clothes most often chosen by guys. tlSkating styled clothes are my type of clothes. Theylre neat, commented eighth grader Chad Johnston. Flats, an oversized sweater, and a pair of faded jeans were familiar fashions for girls. ul like these styles because theylre comfortable, and you can dress them upfl stated seventh grader Tara Wood. Bright stripes, polka-dots, colorful stretch pants, strange designs, pictures of people and odd sayings were part of the more bizarre and wierd look in clothing. While walking through the corridors, there were always splashes of color, unique designs and styles displayed in various student out- fits. It is important for students to express themselves openly, and their uniqueness and individuality was displayed in the assortments of clothes they chose to wear. Hey everybody, uYou looked Marvelous? WOW! Freshman, Jay Wemet discusses his future wardrobe while friends listen on with great interest Far Out Fashion! Freshmen Kristie Orth, Tammy Odom and Theresa Blaser find fashion in other countries can be humorous. Colorful! Katie Timiney and Amy Stadniczuk brighten up the library with their outfits.

Eighth graders Dana Mullins, Alycia Philabaum, and Megan Moore help make the day more colorful with the clothes they wear. Shoes, Shm, and more Shoes! Colorful shoes played a big role in fashion this year. Mild or Wild? Which Hairstyle Did You Choose? Last yearis locks didnit make the grade. Hairstyles played a major role in our everyday activities. Most girls, and even guys, were found primping in front of mirrors between classes. Bobs were the most common hairstyle seen among girls. As for the guys; the traditional bi-level cut was the most popular look. Then there were some outrageous people whose hair- styles went beyond normal. From mousing their hair straight up, to painting it different colors, many students found ways to be apart from the crowd. tiWhy be normal? asked freshman Chris Westfall. That was asked by many students with extra-ordinary haircuts. However, most people preferred the traditional look. ttWierd hairstyles don't fit my personality? commented Freshman Julie Homolka. Freshman, Greg Pisanti stated, uI donit want people laughing hysterically at my hair. Whether it was mild or wild, each student chose a hair- style that fit their personality. Wait Guys! uDo I need my Grammar book? asks seventh grader Kelly Wunder. 38. 39, 40 . . . While curling Theresa Blaseris hair, Debbie Miller counts to determine how long to keep the iron in.

Popular After School Action Flips, jumps and handstands held spectators in awe as t they watched their friends perform daring tricks on skate- i boards. Racing, jumping, or just cruising on three and four wheelers was also an important after school activity. Some people, such as freshman Corey Dolinar, raced ATCs in competition. Others road them just for pleasure. I really like to take my four wheeler out after a lot of rain and blast through the mud, stated Guy Cooper, a ninth grader. Billy Daniels said, ttl love racing my four wheeler in winter on the ice because you slide around. Between these two sports, there was plenty of fun and fast paced action. Whether your wheels were spinning on the sidewalk, or crashing through the mud, they kept the memories mov- mg. Go for it! Freshman, Corey Dolinar, spends his spare time racing three wheelers at Milan Race Track. 11 Action In The Halls The Motion Never Dies Out Suddenly, the talking, gossiping, and exchanging of jokes ceased, and shuffling feet were heard throughout the hallways. We hurried to our awaiting classes, as the final seconds were counted down. Five minutes seemed to be enough time between classes to have a lot of action take place in the halls. Popular sayings between classmates as they went rush- ing to their classes were iiwrite me a note? itmeet me at my locker? or iicall me tonight. Have you ever heard your name whispered by a group of friends as you passed by them in the hall? Gossip was a popular topic of conversation between classes. Lockers were also a part of the hallway scene. Personali- ties were shown by the way the insides of the lockers were decorated. Why did students decorate their lockers? Freshman, Lori Hennessey quoted, uTo give it pizazz and to show personality. Along with gossip, practical jokes were often planned and many of them were actually carried out. A slip of the foot and you were on your way down with your books close behind. Students were always on the go in the halls, whether it was between classes, during classes, or after school. Sometimes the five minutes between classes were a big hassel but most of the time it was used for friendly dis- cussions or just goofing around with close friends. Wait! Freshman Marcus Manz, motions to his friends, as they laugh at Mr. Gray's colorful hall pass. Hurry up . . . Freshman Andy Cooney waits impatiently for Mike Dushane as he decides what books he needs for his next class. g Almost done . . . Seventh grader, David Bowser tries to concentrate in the hallway while making up a math test for Mrs. Tonjes' class. Look! Freshmen Jenn Sowards, Jennie Barron, Sue Nassar, Ring! Ring!

Get psyched! Athletes and cheerleaders show their spirit by wearing red and white for the big game against Fassett. Spirit Days They Picked Us Up When We Needed A Lift. Every student at one time or another has gotten bored with a day of school. When lectures, homework and a test on Friday seemed to be an endless routine, a dress-up day came along to make the day go easier. Dress up days were always on the minds of students. Trying to guess who was who underneath a Halloween costume became frustrating to teachers when students decided to change seats. Socializing became almost im- possible because you didnlt know who you were talking to. Mindy Ritchie, 7th grader commented. tiDressing up for Halloween was so much fun, I almost forgot it was a school day. Dressing up wasnlt all fun and games though. Trying to eat pizza, french fries and drink milk without also digesting face paint took a lot of skill. Walking to the bus made one feel a bit infantile in front of upper classmen. llM go Bluel' and llOSUll were familiar chants heard on Ohio State-Michigan day. On this day students either wore scarlet and gray or maize and blue, depending on where their loyalty was. This almost historical rivalry split up even the best of friends. Jokes and putdowns were thrown at either side, and answers were always thought of. Losers of bets could be seen walking down halls wondering, uhow could they lose? This wasnlt the only color day though. Athletes and cheerleaders showed their spirit by wearing red and white to get up for a big game. Though it didnlt always work, it somewhat changed the every day routine. Days like these set our memories in motion. 14 Go team! Matt Suzor and Jeff Steele give support to their team on Ohio State-Michigan day by wearing their favorite team shirt. Please pick me!

Seventh graders jam to the music at Kelly Wundefs rockinZ hot Saturday Night party. Whew! Freshmen, Danielle Stanton, and Jennie Barron, rest by the fountain after shopping for new clothes at Franklin Park Mall. You deserve a break today, eighth graders, Tina Shively, Patn'cia Evola, Cristy Rogers and seventh graders Wendy Cramer and Paul Kowalik curb their appetities after a long day at school. Hiua! Freshman Michelle Walker and eighth graders, Jenni Markley and Tori Snyder, get tickets to see Karate Kid 11 on a Saturday Night at the movies. 16 Which One? Ninth graders Janel Jennings and Kristen Smenner try :31 atlilecide on a special balloon for their sweethearts at North Town This is a Burger King Town! The Burger King at Lewis and Alexis wets many studentsi appetites during the weekend or afterschool hours. Where Did You Go? Students Hangout In Many Places What do you call a place near or far away, usually noisy, sometimes crowded, that has a lot of familiar faces? A hangout, of course! According to Websteris New World Dictionary a hangout is - ua place frequented by some person or group. According to the studentsi dictionary it is a refuge for escaping pressure from home or at school, a means of socializing and just acting yourself, and a host spot to get wild, crazy -n- obnoxious. Freshman Tammy McCarley stated, iiI hangout with my friends to have a great time and to talk to the friends I donit see often in school. iiSince I started junior high Iim allowed to go to a variety of places, commented seventh grader Kelly Wunder. As hangouts change with people, they alter with the years, and each year has its own unique localities. Exceeding the limit on mom and dads credit card at Franklin Park Mall or Northtowne, watching movies, and dancing to the beat at Henry Jis, Roscos, and Buttons were just a portion of the hangouts preferred by students this year. Visiting the mall and seeing movies scored high, along with sowing down at Taco Bell and McDonalds. Once again, a year filled with dynamite weekends has passed. Those precious moments spent with friends hang- ing out every which way but loose shall not be forgotten.

Seventh graders, Dan Momberg, Eric Bagrowski, Tina Gembreska and Tracy Blakeman study micro-organisms on the new micro projector in Mrs. SchmidtIs first hour life science class. Scientific Students Acquire New Knowledge In Required Classes All Aspects Of Life Studied ItScience class is always changing because of advances in technologyfi stated seventh grade science teacher Mrs. Marcia Krisher. Because of these advances, the seventh grade classes received new microscopes that magnify up to 2,750 times larger. They can be projected on a wall or movie screen so the class as a whole can view an object. ItThese are really great microscopeslII stated Mrs. Sharon Schmidt seventh grade science teacher. The eighth grade classes receive IIScience Worldit mag- azine every month. These magazines are a great addition because they bring up to date information on science that isn,t found in a textf, stated eighth grade science teacher Mr. Larry OIDell. In ninth grade, a couple new animals were purchased by life science teachers Mr. Lynn Gray and Mr. James Bell. These included a chincilla and a yellow rat snake. These animals arenit hurt in anyway, they are just used to study life habits. Seventh graders work out of Life Science and Physical Science books, each year for one semester. Mrs. KrischerIs class works on such projects as disecting frogs and her anual egg drop contest. This is held in the spring and awards are given for the raw eggs that survive the second story fall. Students can use many materials to protect the egg, and it must land on the cement. 20 Eighth grade science classes work out of Science World II. This book deals mostly with mixing chemicals and recording the reactions. If an excellent job is done, a student may be eligible for a sunshine award from Mr. OIDell or an Iggy award from Mr. Vischer. ttSome of the experiments are confusing, but theyire fun, eighth grader Stacey Morh said. In ninth grade, students have a semester of earth sci- ence. In earth science there are four books to choose from. Mrs. Audra Hodge, earth science teacher said III like the variety Iof different studentsi there aref' In life science there are about 12 books to choose from, ranging from raising a plant to learning how to record a persons blood pressure. Also included in the life science classes are two games, IiEnvironmental Science and Three Mile Is- land? The Environmental Science game is played by the class as a whole. In this game each student is given a role, and the student portrays this role, either for or against a certain energy. The Three Mile Island game is played on the computer in class. In this game students have a chance to run their own nuclear power plant. In all the classes there are responsibilities. Whether it be taking care of Grumpy the alligator or just handing work in on time, the teachers expect them to be done regularly! Let go! Freshman Steve Richie makes very few moves when Junior, a 55 pound reticulated python, curls around him. Easy does it! Freshman Eric Remley keeps a close eye while he juggles in Mr. Grays first hour life science class. Reading, Writing Some Unusual Activities Took Place Vocabulary, diagramming sentences, and learning the parts of speech were not the only things that went on in English classrooms. Many classes were invlolved in some unusual projects that enabled students to learn while being away from the usual English class routine. Seventh graders did ethnic studies, oral demonstra- tions, and they wrote stories for the Young Authors, Writ- ing Contest. Eighth graders read The Diary of Anne Frank and Mrs. Jacelyn Brubakeris classes presented the Hsix oiclock news . In doing this, the classes broke up into groups and prepared newscasts to do in front of the class. HThe students got practice in group work and writing oral presentations, commented Mrs. Brubaker, referring to the newscasts. Ninth graders read The Tale of Two Cities and Romeo and Juliet. They also did career contracts in which students were given a list of career related assignments to complete by a certain date. The career unit helped me get better acquainted with different types of jobsfi remarked freshman Nicki McGreevy. Some ninth grade students were in the Creative Writing course. Students wrote stories, descriptive writings, and put on skits in this class. On one particular assignment, students went outside and chose a setting to do a descrip- tive writing on. Mr. John Kreuchauf, a creative writing teacher, stated, uWe have the Creative Writing courses so we can recognize an advanced course of minds? Each of these unique projects were enjoyable as well as beneficial to each individual. This isn't so hard! Seventh grader Kelly Swan learned it's not as hard as it looks to diagram a sentence in Mrs. Beverl Mazurs' lst hour nglish class. 22 I Heard It through the Grapevine! 8th graders Melissa Hudson, Allison Green, Amy Johnson, and Mary Macaro showed English really can be fun when the four presented a California raisin commercial break from Mrs. Brubakerts 5th hour English classes 6 dclock news program.

In Mr. Cadyls fifth hout, 8th grader chin Rowe lfelps Kevin Kokocinski work out a difficult math problem. Math Classes Difficult A goal in many math classes is to increase and expand knowledge and understanding of math concepts, quoted Mrs. Ellen Bacon, head of the math classes. New this year in the math department were books for the seventh and eighth graders plus teacherls aids to help lighten the load for teachers. Eighth grade math teacher Tim Cady said, uThe aids allowed us iteachersl to work with students on a more individual basis which is better for the students. Everyone has their own memorable times from math class, whether it was a test failed in Algebra or a time when sleep was hard to evade. Becky Neorr, a freshman in Algebra, remembers the homework the most. She says, iiMiss Schira gave you the right amount of homework so that you didnlt have to stay up all night doing it. Seventh grader Nathan Beard quoted, ill remember playing the Equations game because it got me better at math. Some students favorite part of math was talking to their 24 Students Take the Challenge friends, though not all kids felt this way. Seventh grader Misty Alvaro said, liMy favorite part of math was decimals because theylre so easy and more realistic than fractions. Different teachers used different ways to break up the monotony of the everyday routine. Seventh grade teacher, Mrs. Sue Tonjes used a game called ilEquations . Most students enjoyed it. Scott Campbell quoted, uI liked it when we played the game because we didnlt get any homework. Other teachers did things like make snow- flakes, posters, or geometric shapes. Algebra teacher, Mr. Rick Nirschl explained, uI let the kids make geometrical shapes because its something mathematical that doesnlt have anything to do with Algebra. Generally, students who need to do extra credit, don't want to do more Algebra. Pre-Algebra, Algebra, or Geometry, no matter what the class, the tradition of putting forth a good effort was upheld by both teachers and students. Solve it!! Seventh graders, Misty Alvaro, Tammie Gale and Jess Hurley play Equations in Mrs. Tonjes' 3rd hour math class. Equations is a game played to teach seventh graders math lessons while having fun This is how you do it . . . Using fractions, seventh grader, Jessica Bateson works out a problem on Mr. Horvath's overhead, during her third hour math class. Work! Seventh grader Kim Stoll works hard to finish her flag in Mrs. Albring,s first hour class. After the class completed the flags they were put together to make a quilt. Congratulations . . . Mr. Brown proudly stands in front of his class, praising his students for a job well done on their flags. The flags were displayed around the room for others to see. New and Old Projects in History Fun For Everyone Past and Present Events Studied Many special events occurred in seventh and eighth grade history classes, such as the shooting of a Civil War gun, playing news quiz, and the seventh grade map study. In the map study, students learned how to read a road map in depth. til learned a lot from the map study and I thought it was fun,n stated seventh grader Scott Klostermeir. New projects also took place during seventh and eighth grade classes. Among these, Mrs. Alice Albringts seventh grade classes made a quilt containing fifty-four flags. Each student contributed to the quilt by making at least one flag. Mr. Theron Brown also had an exciting project in his classes. His eighth graders made flags of various countries. til gave them a choice of any country they wanted but they had to check with me first so there were no duplicates, quoted Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown commented that the signifi- cance of making flags was that kids could learn the location of the countries along with the geographical features, the major religion, political leaders, and population, and hopefully it would create an interest in the country. Every Friday students got a break and competed against other classes in news quiz. Eighth grader Ton Snyder quoted, HThis year was more exciting because we learned more about the worldf, Although many students thought history was going to be a boring class, the teachers made it fun by doing new and different projects. Think . . . Seventh grader Mindy Ritchie concentrates on doing her work in Mrs. Aubry,s 6th hour history class. The students were working out of a map study guide. roblem she has on a Help! Eighth grader Beth W er discusses a elf in 3rd hour history homework assignment with er teacher Mrs. class. 27 Push! Freshman Eric Parsil assists Freshman Joel Bailey lift a weight during the physical conditioning unit in 6th hour gym. Health, Career, Gym Students Adjust To New Schedule If all ninth graders were asked llWhat is C.P.R.,ll they would be sure to say, Cardiopulmonary Resusitation. This and other activities such as first aid, making a skeleton, and drug and alcohol abuse studies, were just some of the things taught by health teachers, Mr. Hoyt and Mr. Cothem. This year instead of altematjng health and gym classes every other day, students switched classes at the end of the semester. Freshman Darlene Fisher commented, til like switching at the end of the semester because there is less confusion on what class to go to on what day. Seventh graders also used to switch every other day between career and gym, but they too switched at the end of the semester. The career students read out of ltRead magazinen and had guest speakers to speak on careers that interested students. In gym, students warmed-up with calisthenics and then took part in such activities as, volleyball, basketball, floor hockey, physical conditioning, and soccer. Jump! Freshman Mark Kern jumps rope during a physical conditioning unit in his 3rd hour gym class. 28 Show Off That Uniform! Seventh grader Matt Snyder displa s the Border Patrol uniform of guest speaker Bryce Hall, father of th grader Shanyn Hall, during 3rd hour career class.

Students Benefit from Unified Arts Elective Art Classes Develop Talents In Chosen Fields Whether it was painting a masterpiece, building robots, or drawing a dreamhouse, the unified arts provided fun and challenge. Some of the projects students worked on in art class were cartoons, paintings, pen and ink drawings, pencil drawings, and charcoal sketches. During February, they had a contest to design a logo for a fitness program on TV 3. ttMy favorite project was the cartooning because it could be funny, stated freshman Lyman Robertson. Teacher, Mr. Larry Golba said, til enjoy presenting a les- son and seeing people learn something from it and pro- duce good art? The students all believed they benefited from the class. Freshman Doug Wiseman said, ttOne thing art really helped me with was drawing a persons face? In shop class, students did some forging, worked with computers, and learned about robotics. In November, they built robots and held a demonstration. Good job! Freshman Steve Turski solders a box in Mr. Steinbrecher's class while Nick Buchanan, Steve Mills and Chuck Poorman offer advice. Be Creative! Seventh graders Heather Kinse , Tara Reuther, and Shannon Sass enjoy working on their three- imensional projects in Mr. Scotfs class. 30 Teacher, Mr. Robert Steinbrecher, stated, This class gives the students a sense of satisfaction of knowing they can make things and shows how this area applies to practi- cal living.n ttMy favorite project was making a lamp on the wood lathe, said freshman Jeff Deming. Freshman Nick Buchanan stated, uI enjoy the satisfac- tion of completing a project? In drafting, some of the projects were designing a house, and building an architectural model. Teacher, Mr. Fred Desch said, tiThis class benefits the students because it gives them confidence and problem solving ability. Students agreed that the class was beneficial. ttThe thing I liked about drafting was that the things I learned can help me in the future, stated freshman Brian Wingate. The unified arts provided diversity to the day and helped develop artistic and mechanical talents. Robotics! Freshman Jeff Ray and Dave Wagenhauser prepare their robots for the television demonstration Mr. Steinbrecher's class presented in November. Concentration! Eighth grader Heather Costell learns the basics of drafting in Mr. Desch,s third hour class. Helping Hands! Junior Cliff King came over from the high school and helped Mr. Steinbrechefs class.

M Press Timell Journalists Stn've For Perfection Taking pictures, writing copy and whizzing around to finish a lay-out before a deadline were all experienced by the 46 members of our journalism staff. Passing time captured on a picture will be special for each individual. For every picture there are a thousand words, but in this case, for every word, there are a thousand memories. liWe try to stop time with the pictures we take so the memories may linger on, stated Editor-in-Chief Jody Owczarzak. New textbooks and a computer were great assets to the journalism staff! Advisor, Mr. Lewis Horn, stated uThis year went much smoother than past years because we had our own computer in the classroom to work with. The new textbooks also helped in general story writing and headline writing?

Freshman Kristin Smenner types a complicated paragraph out of her textbook. Three to four exercises out of this book were completed each day by the students. Think! Julie Gase strains her brain to remember how to fill out a newly revised tax form while taking a test in first hour general business class. HtMHH?N??E?????Mrnur : htunnnsnnwmgg Taxes!? Trying to figure out a particular step on an oversized tax form, is Doug Steinman. During his first hour general business class, students also filled out smaller tax forms similar to this one.

During first hour typing class, Niki Pauch an Dee Dee Wysoszinski practice hand positioning on the keyboard, These beginners will soon learn how to type without looking at the keys. Freshman Electives Offer Career Choices Future Secretaries, Lawyers, and Accountants Prepare Themselves The tap . . . tap of constantly clicking keys, the ilclash! of a wooden handled gavel, and the scratch . . . scratch of pencils busily filling out tax forms, were heard throughout the year in the freshman elective classes; typ- ing, law and society, and general business. During the holidays, the students typed pictures of Santa Claus, Cupid, and Easter Bunnies. They also competed with other classes to see who could type the most words per minute, and typed the alphabet front- wards and backwards. Freshman Melissa Helm commented, ill enjoyed typing because it developed skills of speed and accuracy with my fingers? uBefore I took typing I couldnit even type one word per minute with out looking for every letter! stated Christine Lykowski, liNow I can type around forty words a minute without looking at the typewriter at allfl Law and society classes were taken mostly by people such as Dianne Smith, who were interested in going into a career concerning law. The study of the United States law as it applies in criminal and civil law suits is what Mr. Theron Brownls Law and Society class covered. The students were required to do research and oral presentations about famous supreme court cases and the meaning behind them. When available, special speakers came in and talked to the students about something they had recently covered. As a result of the passed millage, new textbooks were purchased. If someone wanted to learn how to balance a checking account, fill out tax forms correctly, set up a budget, or possibly try to decipher the complicated stock market, General Business was the class to take. Writing checks on the first day of school helped Mrs. Murphy find out exactly where each person was, before they started the unit on writing checks and balancing an account. At the end of each semester, the class did a travel unit where each person picked a place anywhere in the world that they would like to visit. Among other things, they had to make all the travel arrangements plus buy luggage and rent a car. They paid for their vacation with the money in their checking accounts which was accumulated by homework and test scores. Sizzle, Sizzle! Eighth graders, Jim Stacy, Greg Erickson and Bill Reau wait patiently for their ships of bacon to fry. These boys were in cooking during the second semester. l V Hot Stuff!

Freshmen Kirk Whaley waits patiently for the water to heat up so that he can wash up all of his dirty dishes. Kirk was in a lst hour cooking class during the second semester. Students test their abilities in sewing and cooking classes. Sewing and Cooking, what an experience! Eighth and ninth graders who were in this class got experience at mak- ing different things for when they have to sew or cook at home. Some of the new eighth graders who were in cooking! sewing classes enjoyed the new experience of using a sew- ing machine and oven. In sewing, the eighth graders were expected only to make one project during the half quarter, which they picked from a list given to them by their teacher, Mrs. Joyce Szymanski. Unlike the eighth grade, ninth graders had to complete two projects. This is because they were in class a whole semester instead of a half quarter. They were not given a list to choose from, so the students could make anything they wanted to, but there were some stipulations. Ninth graders chose these classes as one or two of their electives. Eighth grader Jim Stacy stated, ilThe thing I liked most was when we got to take the clothes home and wear themfl til thought that sewing was easier this year because we already knew how to set up the machines and cut out our patterns and materials to pin downfl commented Fresh- man Michele Walker. The eighth graders made easier things like brownies, eggs and puddings while ninth graders made harder things like coffee cakes, loaf breads, candies, and spaghetti. uIn cooking the best things that I liked was eating the food. Ilm really glad that I took foods in my freshman year because I think this will help me in my future years, ex- plained Kim Hintz. Making food and creating different styles of clothing will be remembered by all of the kids because they will prob- ably be using these skills throughout their lives. 37 millage money for our Wgchool wQ all WMefi'y ChHsHHHsv Chnsh' aaneswa Towne Mall. wtwenty Second da HSan ' 1 Church decide to tell Santa Clau what the want for Christmas, while shopprhg at No 9f ngember The final outcome was M1chlga twenty- six and Ohio State twenty 1112133 3 13111111: time!

Well joining sports wasnlt the only spirit shown among freshmen. Examples of the spirit shown were cheering at football games and pep assemblies. Decorating the halls for Christmas was another example. Freshman, Scott Edwards thought freshman spirit was ttFreshman students participating in the sports that were offered. Dressing up for Michiganthio state day and 505 day were other examples of spirit. The outcome of the Michiganthio state game was 26-24 . . . in Michiganls favor uWe all know Michigan is better than Ohio , commented freshman Greg Pisanti. Spirit was shown in many ways among ninth graders. lll cheer teams on to victory and join clubs to get others into it too, quoted freshman Kelly Fry. Clubs such as the Span- ish club, French club and ski club were opened for fresh- men to join. Setting examples for other students was an accomplish- ment the freshmen class made. One example set was at the studentIfaculty volleyball game. Freshmen participated in that game against the teachers to show they could beat them. Kelly Fry stated, uWe are examples to show seventh and eighth graders to have spirit too. By joining sports and clubs, freshmen showed their spirit not only in school, but after school. 41 Christopher Carpenter Christopher Crawford Jennifer Denno Christopher Denny Kristen Dieter Lee Dobrolenski Corey Dolinar Jeffrey Donaldson Jennifer Donbrosky Scott Donbrosky Michael Dushane David Eckhardt Robert Edgington Scott Edwards Rima Eid Mark Ellis Kathy Ellison Robert Elwartowski Laura Endslow Mendi Epperhart Daniel Eshman Tamara Evers Timothy Feltz Nathan Fiedler Jennifer Fish Darlene Fisher Darlene Fisher Chad Fleitz Paul Flowers Matthew Fomwald Nicole Fosnaught Christy Frankowski Kerri Frantz Barbara Fritz Tricia Froah Joel Frost Kelly Fry Good friends, Bruce Craven and Theresa Blaser share a dance in friendship. 42 Lasting Friendships, Necessities To All Life Without Friends 15 Lonely: Life With Friends Has Its Rewards Friendship is a necessity for all of us. Love and trust are two important ingredients in friendship. A true friend is al- ways there in times of good as well as bad. We should treat friendship like our best sweater, because once it starts to ravel, it is lost forever. Students become closer through struggles and success in academics and school activities. Freshmen Tammy McCarley stated, ttBeing in geometry and participating in sports was hard, but through friends I received help in understanding geometry and have learned new techniques in different sports. With the support of my friends I was capable of achieving much during the year. Small get-togethers, dances, movies, going to the mall, sports events and bowling, brought together friends to '1 5:35? v ; th'i :01! share secrets, laugh together and have good times. uWhile bowling you could watch your friends make total fools of themselves by getting constant gutters, hav- ing the ball get stuck on their thumb and doing a dive into the bowling alley, or having the ball fly off your fingers and go straight up! commented freshman Mendi Epperhart. UGoing out with my friends, allows me to relax and have fun, stated eighth grader Angie Wojcik. Friends didn't always just have fun. They supported each other through hard times, trusted each other with confidential information, and helped each other strive for their goals. Freshman Dave Hamilton stated, uFriendship gives me a chance to share my feelings with someone special.

Mr. Cothem explains to students the harmful effects of smoking. Peer Pressure! Does It Have a Hold On You? Peer pressure e IPir presh'eri n.a. compelling force or influence on a group of people of the same social back- ground. Peer pressure has gained a reputation for being the neg- ative force which leads thousands of teenagers to drugs and alcohol each day. In the fall, Mr. and Mrs. Reagan held a campaign against drug abuse. As each day passed, more and more celebri- ties joined in their fight. Now more than ever, teenagers learn that drugs arenIt their friends, they're their enemies. Peer pressure also has a positive side when it comes to drugs, because students could influence others not to take drugs or drink. Iilf I was at a party and no one was drinking, I woulant feel dumb, because I woulan feel obligated to drink? stated seventh grader Danielle Casey. Through all the good and bad, there is a lighter side to peer pressure. For instance, the way people dressed in- fluenced the rest of the crowd. uShopping at the Limited makes me feel like Pm keep- ing up with the latest trends! , expressed seventh grader Leslie Shapiro. Some students were not persuaded by others though, they went their own way when it came to style. ii1 donIt really think that my friends influence my style because I dress for me not for anybody eIsefI commented Freshman Mike Dushane. Although peer pressure couldnit be avoided, students learned how to cope with it, discovering that what counts in a person is their personality, not what they did to be Iicool.

In the winter most kids were more lazy than in the summer when they got wild and crazy. Most people agreed with Michelle Walker when she said, til like summer the best because we donlt have school which means no homeworklll Although summer was a favorite with many, winter had its pluses, too. Winter ranked high with students as they enjoyed hockey, ice skating, snowball fights, and best of all, relax- ing. Freshman Debbie Wallace stated, ill like to sit in front of the fireplace and drink hot cocoa? Spring played a small role in students lives. Some people, like Jenny Donbrosky donlt like spring because uof all the slushf' but a lot of the other students like it because, llThis is the time when the flowers are in bloom and everything comes to life? stated Kim Trout. Fall marks the beginning of school, and for many, the beginning of sports. Freshman football player, Andrew Cooney commented, lll really looked forward to this years football season because of the competition from dif- ferent schools. 47 Christopher Plummer Wow, look at that!

Teens Learn To Have Fun Bored and complaining about being too young for everything was no way to spend a Friday night, but being under age didnlt mean staying home and not having any fun. - Parties were one of the favorite ways to solve the uunder age problem. Jenny Sowards commented, uParties were a fun thing to do because I could get together with all my friends. Another favorite solution was to go to Roscols, where teens of all ages could dance to their favorite songs. lll en- joyed going to Roscols because its a great place to meet new people, stated Stefanie Wozniak. Many teenagers also spent hours goofing off at the mall. The mall was a place to go on any boring day. Jenny Skiver quoted, lll just like to hang around the mall with a bunch of my friends when there was nothing else to do. To the Freshmen, being under age didnlt seem to spoil any of the fun.

A phone is something I canlt live without? stated freshman, Christ- ine Lykowski. Parents set such guidelines for talking on the phone as 15 minutes per call or 3 calls per day. Students often dis- agreed with their parents rules but negotiations were al- ways made. Science teacher, Mr. Lynn Gray commented, illn my house we do not have any set rules about using the phone as long as my kids are on the phone for a reason- 50 able amount of time. The embarrassment of a parent screaming in the back- ground when your 15 minutes was up led to such excuses as HI needed a homework assignment or til needed to study for a test, When this happened to freshman Jody Haynes, her excuse was, til am doing an interview for jour- nalismfl Fighting with brothers and sisters to use the phone also led to chaos. A sibling standing over your shoulder asking every thirty seconds when you will be off the phone got rather annoying. Parents questioned our motives for calling someone that we had seen in school all day, but they didn't seem to understand that we never ran out of things to say.

Teens Get Involved in Ski Club. The slope seemed monstrous to the beginning skier. She had her rented equipment on and was bubbling with excitrnent and fright. She climbed the small hill to the slope. She looked down and gasped. Then she gave a tremendous push. Swoosh! Ahhhhhhh!!! and a flop thud were all that was heard. uAre you okay? someone asked in front of her. ilYeah, Illl be alright. The skier started to get up and brush off the snow. llYou know something? You were the first person this season to fall on that baby hill someone in the crowd roared with laughter. 52 A situation like this was one example of the foul-ups on the slopes, but as Kent Wymer stated, uIf you have any athletic ability, you can learn to ski. The first time I went down the slope, I was real nervous, but when I reached the bottom, I wanted to do it again , stated eighth grader, Tom Utz. The ski club adviser, Mr. Rick Nirschl, took the eighth and ninth grade skiiers on a trip to Mt. Brighton on January 23rd. For most of the ski club, the trip was an excuse to get away from the pressures of school and have fun with friends. Where's the Snow?

Some is True, But the Rest . . . Rumors! What exactly are they? To some they were em- barrassing accusations that left them trying to change everyonels mind, but to others, they were a very reliable source of entertainment. Trying to keep up with the latest gossip became sort of a game played by many a student. ttSays who? was a common question which followed a recent rumor. The answer of, My best friend told me just the other day seemed to somehow make it all truthful. Betsy Krupp, 8th grader commented, llYou could tell one person a story, and at the end of the day, the same story would have twice as many details! Whether the rumors were true or not, was never really known. Those affected by incriminating gossip always denied accusations. Who could forget the many dis- agreements which resulted in one person saying, uMud hole! After school! Peers always came to watch what al- most always came to be just an exchange of words. Though embarrassing rumors left us red faced at times, the grapevine produced many fine memories which will stay in our minds forever. 54 Guess what? . . .

Without them, where would all of the fun be? Embarrassment and the daring practical jokes were the main idea when pranks were being played. Eighth grader, Robin Heck, stated ttOnce, one of my friends taped old ugly pictures of me all over the whole outside of her locker. The usual cranks included taping signs on backs, closing someones locker after they just opened it, or even closing someones book when they were turned around talking to a friend. Other crude pranks included knocking someones books out of their hands in the middle of the hall, throwing paper wads in hair, or taking someonets books or folders and hiding them. ttl almost went through school for 2 hours with a ttkick me sign on my back, stated eighth grader, Janine Salyer. Most cranks started a chain reaction. After one student was cranked they would have had to get revenge on the other student, so it all went on and on continually and never ended while memories were in motion.

Many people dreaded the thought of going home with an armful of books just knowing that there would be no TV. We all know that homework isnlt the greatest thing, but we canlt shake having it Students were often turned off when the teacher said, llDo problems 1-30 for tonightls homework. What we often forgot was that homework was for our benefit. HThe hardest subject for me to go home and do homework for was definitely mathfl stated eighth grader Troy Etts. Students often wondered why teachers got so upset just because they didnlt do their homework. Well, teachers often wondered why a student didnlt do what he or she had been assigned. The question is; how to make homework interesting. Mr. Charles Horvath suggested, tlif the kids would just do the homework, they would know just how exciting they could have made itl, That was a very comforting thought, but not taken to heart by everybody. Sports, piano lessons, doctor appointments, hair cuts and many more all took time out of a personls day and made homework difficult. Many times this year I found myself getting run down and falling asleep in class?' stated eighth grader Jason Burt Sometimes there honestly wasnlt time for homework unless sleeping was out of the question. On the whole, almost everybody turned in homework even if it meant frantically rushing during homeroom, lunch or any other class that wasnlt too busy. With the arrival of summer, there wasnlt anymore homework to worry about. What a relief to students and teachers alike.

Dish-pan hands! Washing the dinner dishes is just one of eighth grader Heather Craven,s household chores. Yuck! I Dorft Want To Do The Dishes! Household Chores Provide Allowances But Are Time Consuming If you ever had to dust the living room or pick up the moldy socks under your bed unwillingly, then you were a victim of a kind of slavery - the forcing of labor upon children or young adults by parents or guardians: chores! Of course not everyone was FORCED to perform their household chores or duties. Many students worked to earn money, others liked a cleanly atmosphere, and some en- joyed pleasing their parents who were exhausted after a hard day's work. ii1 do chores to keep the house clean, said 8th grader Angie Wojcik. ttl'd be embarrassed if anyone came into the house if it was messy? Dusting, vacuming, cleaning the bedroom, washing the dishes, feeding the pets, mowing the grass, and taking out the garbage kept many students busy every day of the year. When did all of this hard work pay off? Mostly on the Brian Zink Joe Stetler weekends when mom and dad paid allowances. The amount of these allowances varied. Some received as little as $3.00 a week when others got as much as $10.00 a week. A lot of the allowances went into piggy banks or were spent on material items. iiI like to save some of my money and also buy gifts for my parents and two younger brothers? stated Rich Fisher. Besides keeping the house in order, helping the parents and getting money, chores meant responsibility. Confided Marcie Bihn, iiNow I do jobs Pm supposed to do without having to be toldf' Throughout the year, chores allowed students to buy the things they yearned to own. They taught them a lesson and made their homes a prettier place to live in.

The Bells Going to Ring, Welre Going To Be Late. It happens every year! Bedford Jr. High is flooded with 12 and 13 year olds coming into the seventh grade. Frightened and confused, most had a hard time getting used to the radical changes from elementary school. Timing seemed to be a real problem for first year junior high students. Tania Balazs commented, llAt the begin- ning of the year I was afraid I was going to be late for my classes because I had never been on such a tight time schedule before. But after a while, I got used to where my classes were and how to get there. Before too long, tardi- ness was not a problem. But timing wasnlt the only problem seventh graders had to face. Junior high brings much more hard work and homework. Newcomer Hollie Earhart stated, IlIn grade school I didnlt have homework very often, and school- work wasnlt very hard, but seventh grade brought homework almost every night and schoolwork became much more difficult and time consuming? The third major problem with the new students was the switch from having one teacher all day, in the same room, to having to change to a different teacher and room each hour. Seventh grader, Tracy Ely said, mI was really con- fused at first. I always went to the wrong rooms and teachers. I had trouble adjusting to new and different teachers and teaching methods, but I caught on after awhile. The new seventh graders all caught on after about a week or so and most of the confusion let up, Tracy Ely commented, l hope it will be easier next year and years to come.

This was one of the familiar ways students started off notes to a friend. Most girls in school loved to write notes to a friend or a boyfriend but very seldom did you see a male give a note to a fellow male. ttI love writing notes to some of my friends, but its tor- ture getting caught writing one in class! , replied ninth grader Stefanie Wozniak. Freshman Dee Dee Wysoszinski can relate to this. She quotes, uWhen I was caught I thought it was funny, but I would have been embarrassed if my teacher would have read the note in front of the class. Notes aren't just simple scribbling on paper in ink. For upeace , they use the peace sign. If they wanted the per- son who received the note to write back, they put WIB. Sometimes they added their favorite rock groups IRed Hot Chili Peppers, Love Bug Starsky, Cameo and Wang ChungI, or the name of the person they like. People also used just normal words like PARTY and SURF or verses from songs. Why do people write notes? Freshman Jenny Sowards confessed, uI only passed notes to inform my friends of the latest gossip! So as the year passed , so did the notes. Take It! Carrie Braden uses some tricky moves to pass a note to her friend Joanna Ryan. Don't Show Anyone! Shanon McMorland and Claudia Eid pass notes during class.

Some enjoyed babysitting during their free time. Watch- ing the kids, making sure the house was kept clean, and sometimes feeding them were important roles in respon- sibility. lII thought, babysitting responsibility was im- portant in my life, because I know it will help me in the future, commented eighth grader Tami Ogle, uI babysat a lot through the school year because I knew I could take the responsibility?, Some important roles of responsibility in school were being lab assistants, helping in the library, and taking attendance. Freshman Kristin Smenner stated, ill thought taking attendance had a lot to do with responsibility, because all the teachers would know I am a very respon- sible person. Rush! Seventh grader, Jamie Cavallaro shows his responsibility by working intently to get his work in on time in Mrs. Staniferls first hour English class. 66 Eric Miko Jennifer Milam Brad Miller Jennifer Moffitt Daniel Momberg Johnny Montalvo Monica Montrie Mindy Mull Sarah Mustard Daniel Myers Mary Nagy Steven Nagy John Nalepa Joseph Nalepa Jefferson Neiding Belinda Neorr Jeremiah Reymann Rachel Nevers Clinton Nichols Rebecca Nichols Randy Nicholson Alexander Northup Dean Oberhue Amy Oberle Emily O,Konski Michael Orth Becky Osborne Brad Packer David Payne Robert Peck Jonathan Penny Michael Perry Krista Peters Traci Petz Jennifer Plummer Jill Posta Mindy Powell Joanne Prati Kathy Pruden Joseph Quick Angela Rawson Michelle Reed Robert Reichow Tara Reuther Patti Rice Maggie Riffle Mindy Ritchie Jaymee Roach Daniel Robertson David Rossler Joanna Ryan John Sailer Tania Santacroce Shannon Sass Stacey Scarbrough Shane Schale Jon Schikora Kelly Steiner Scott Schmieder Adam Schmieg Clint Schreiber Frederick Schumacher David Sedlock Jonathon Shank Leslie Shapiro Michelle Shertzer Arthur Smith Kimberly Smith Michael Smith Matthew Snyder Amy Sowards Jennifer Spohn Allen St. Clair Tim Stacy Robert Stahl Maureen Stamm Jeffrey Stanley Jeffery Steele Gail Stevens Troy Stevenson Michael Stinger Mary Studer Charlotte Sulier Kerri Lynn Swan Aaron Szymanski Robert Taylor Adrienne Thomas Brad Thomas Melissa Travis Kristopher Trout Dominic Truscello Matthew Trzcinski Brian Turner Kevin Turner Keith Ulrich Richard Upton Joseph Vandervlucht Amie Vebenstad :w aka A Andrew Vebenstad Paul Vossen Shanon Walker Amy Warner Bethany Warren Ton a Webber icole Wells Julianne Werner Michael Wesley Chris Whipple Jamie Wilkins Robert Williams Talli Williams Crystal Willis Gerald Willis Scott Wingate Vicky Wise David Witfoth Belinda Wood Tara Wood Jay Woodbury Brent Woods Ste hany Wright elly Wunder David Zeller Joseph Ziems Jason Zogaib Stephen Severance Tie it Tighter!

She could bring girls over to the house, commented seventh grader, Steve Nagy. ttShe tries to impress my friends by acting mature when she isnttV stated seventh grader, Mindy Ritchie. ttl wish I had an older brother so he could help me with my homework, and tell me what the teachers at the junior high were going to be like? replied seventh grader, Sam Lerch. ttHe gets on my nerves, and when I want to go somewhere he never takes me! spoke seventh grader, Joanne Pratt. To help mature in a new school, to aid in misunderstood homework, and to offer useful advice to the underclass- men, were only a fraction of the roles older brothers and sisters played throughout the year. Overall, having older siblings in the junior high helped us to realize how important our relationship was with them, especially with advice on possible boyfriends or girl- friends! 69 Dr. Herbert Mayer Superintendent Mr. Ronald Polek Asst Superindent ML James R McHugh Principal Mr. James Gasiorowski Asst Principal ML Duane R.

Office workers, Mrs. Maison and Mrs. Hubbard, show their spirit by participating in 505 day. 70 Three Stooges Secretaries, Mrs. Poole and Mrs. Maison and Health Aid, Mrs. Hubbard dress on Halloween to represent their spirit. F aculty Spirit Teachers pep up the special days Whenever the students showed their spirit, whether it was Michigan-Ohio State day, 505 day or whatever; the faculty was always there, showing their spirit as well. When the week would just be uone of those weeks, and everybody was down, the teachers were there, giving everyone incentive and pep. Activities like setting up a studentlfaculty volleyball game added that something spe- cial to help get us through the week. Secretary, Mrs. Sue Poole stated, ill thought it was fun getting involved with the students. It really adds spirit to our school.n The faculty also showed their spirit when it came to Michigan-Ohio State day by wearing either Scarlet and Gray or Maize and Blue. uI think spirit is great because it promotes good will between students and facultyf remarked Media Clerk, Mrs. Debbie Gregory. Besides participation in activities and dressing up, teachers showed their spirit by cheering the Broncos on at football games, wrestling meets, tennis matches, or any other athletic event that the Broncos participate in.This was all done to show the students that they were sup- ported strongly by their staff.

Whether its a party, a movie, a formal or casual dance, a night on the town or just sitting home on the weekend watching T.V., teachers definitely have as much fun as the students do. tTm usually out shopping, playing raquetball or doing aerobics. To me, thafs what I consider fun, commented, Ms. Linda Schira. Teachers aren't always at home making up assignments for the students on the next day. They arentt Total bores as many students think they are. Many of the teachers either go out with friends or spouses. Mostly they go out on the weekends because theytre usually just too busy grad- ing or in faculty meetings on the weekdays. Mr. Joe Cothem stated, ttI go to the movies a lot, and also I go and watch basketball games at the University of Toledo because Pm a season ticket holder there. On Sun- day afternoons, Itll usually be listening to classical music at home. Some of the teachefs favorite movies this year: Top Gunt, Karate Kid IF, tAmerican Anthemf In addition to giving tons of homework and saying the tPledge of the Michigan Flag on the weekdays, teachers spend many hours on the weekends just plain out uHaving a good time.n Presto! Mr. Bankowski is the center of attention as magician Kip Barry prepares to cut his tie in a magic assembly. Taken For Granted Teaching Involves Extra Effort Teachers do a lot more than they get credit for. Believe it or not, they do. Along with working in the classroom, teachers work after school and on weekends grading homework assignments and making lesson plans. Many teachers have more than one subject to teach, some have cafeteria duty and some get involved in after-school activi- ties. The job of cafeteria workers is to keep the students in order and the cafeteria clean. Mr. Charles Horvath, who was appointed to the job this year stated, til love it. I get to talk to kids without worrying about work? Many teachers find themselves with a lot of work plan- ning more than one subject. Mr. Lewis Horn teaches Eng- lish, creative writing and journalism. uWith the three classes I have, I probably do more grading than other teachers, because theylre almost all writing? commented Mr. Horn. He usually spends about four or five hours a week grading. There are also good points to teaching dif- ferent subjects. There is a change of pace rather than the same thing each hour. Teachers really deserve more credit for their extra ef- forts. Mr. Dennis Hubbard Physical EducationlMath Mr. John Kreuchaui Creative WritinglEninshlEninsh Dept.

The crowd roard as the Bronco team left Northviewts field with a 12-6 victory over the Wildcats. This was their best game of the season. ttOur defense rose to the occasion and our offense played well, stated receiver, Marcus Manz. The Broncos played well against strong competition, Whitmer was their biggest rival because they live so close and theytre always extremely competitive. We did well against the Panthers considering recent years scores, commented safety, Ryan Maier. uFive-four , ttFive-two, and ttfiftyT ram right were the most common defensive plays used this season. Offensive plays that were seen on the field included 36 isolation, 21 counter, and 38 sweeps, There were many outstanding players on the team to make a strong defense, as well as offense. Bob Lambert was said to be in a class by himself. Throughout the season he scored 5 touchdowns. The team practiced for approximately two hours every day. During the practices, the players ran, worked on fundimentals of tackeling and blocking, and learned offensive and defensive plays. Guard and linebacker, John Light, commented ttPractices were tiring, but they helped us prepare for the up-coming games. The football players were always on the verge of becoming an excellent team, but they never got completely over the obstacles. Coach Al Studer com- mented, ttThere were a lot of outstanding players in the group and they potentionally could be a great team. Get it!

New Experience Football Players Learn New Skills What was your ideal Saturday morning? Sleeping until noon, watching cartoons, or staying in your pajamas all day? These luxuries were not in the schedules of the 7th and 8th grade football players. How does getting up at 8:00 and playing a tough game of football sound? It may not sound fun, but its what the 7th and 8th grade football players chose to do. Practicing five times a week, learning plays, and playing early games helped them to improve their skills for the years to follow. Eighth grader, Scott Conner of the red team com- mented ltllm glad that I went out for football because it helped me gain skill and coordination and it also helped me get ready for my freshman year in football. As the year progressed, they gained much need experi- ence and made many new friends, but above all they gained a new self image. Seventh grader, Paul Kowalik of the black team said uI thought practices were pretty hard, but they helped us a lot and I wanted to accomplish as much as I could for the team. Most of the football players found a lot of fun times and challenges from football, but there were also the dis- advantages, like being sore after the games or being in- jured. Most of the eighth grade guys who participated in football felt that it was a good experience for them because most of them will be trying out next year for a position on the freshman team. 80 Will it be a touchdown? . . .

Guard your man!, were common commands shouted out by freshman girls basketball coach, Tlm Cady, during tense moments. The girls were quite successful this season. They lost only to Trenton ttwicei though they put up a good fight in both games. iiWe played well, but Trenton played brilliant defense. I feel we had equal or better talent, but our defense was a bit weak, confessed Coach Cady. Many of the players felt the last game of the season, against Jefferson, was the highlight of season. ttMonroe Jefferson was an exciting game. The whole team played well and had it together? commented Jill Zorbaugh. Playing together and having fun was one of the most im- portant reason, the team did so well. uWe were out there to win, but also have fun. Stated Kristie Orth.

These words were part of the many instructions bellowed onto the court by freshman boys coach, Mr. Frank Treibar. Though their final record was not a victorious one, many good times were experienced on and off the court. Freshman player Nick Shea stated, ttThe bus rides home were the best part. Even after a loss there was always something funny to talk about. Though victories were scarce, excitement was always high. There were many tough teams who had to be dealt with, such as Whitmer, Toledo Catholic Central, and Ad- rian. Each one of these teams were given a hard fought battle all the way to the final buzzer. This wasn,t the only type of excitement experienced by the freshman cagers. Mark Tienven' came close to setting the record for the quickest ejection. In the game against Whitmer, Mark was ejected in five seconds for throwing an elbow. Bruce Craven gave his try at playing physical also. Dur- ing the Adrian game, while fighting for a loose ball, an Ad- rian player considerably larger than Bruce, ended up un- derneath him. Bruce showed his excitement by saying, ttOne minute I was fighting for a loose ball, and the next I had a guy pinnedV The win-loss record may show a sorrowful season, but the sportsmanship and new friendships gained made a more lasting impression than a winning season may have.

Cagers Fmish 10-2 Slow Start Does Not Stop Girls If a team starts off the season losing their first two games, you might think they would get down. But not the eighth grade girls basketball team! It just encouraged them to try harder, and they proved that by winning their last ten games. In previous years, there was one seventh and one eighth grade girls basketball team, but this year the two teams were combined. Although twelve seventh graders tried out, only Maureen Stamm made the team. ttThe season was fun, and everyone treated my equally, she com- mented. For this season, at least, the experiment of combining both the seventh and eighth grade girls into one basketball team proved to be very successful. Last season the combined record of two different teams was 4-6. This year, under the guidance of a new coach, James Posta, the team had a total record of 10-2. itThe team worked and learned together and we also won together, commented Coach Posta. Go For It!

Shooting With Pride Improved Season Enjoyable itCanit stop the big red machineli, The eighth grade basketball team proved that by their performance on the court. uWe always gave it all we hadf, commented guard Greg Battle. New head coach Mr. Gary Lamunyon and his assistant coach Mr. Ron Battle dealt with the team through hard practices and hard-fought games. As a draft choice for the Milwaukee Bucks, Coach Battle lasted up until the pre- season cuts. Coach Battle took the opportunity to stand by Mr. Lamunyonis side and share his experience with the players. . To wrap up the season, the eighth grade team partici- $ pated in a GLL tournament. The tournament consisted of eight Great Lakes Teams and the first three teams received trophies. Bedford finished fourth. McCord was their toughest opponent. iiMcCord was very tall and had an excellent player who was 65 . They played a zone defense against us forcing us to shoot from the outside. In both games we stayed with them through the first quarter, but eventually their rebounding strength was more than we could handle, commented Coach Lamunyon. Six-foot forward Brett Paracheck held the position of leading rebounder. At 39 , Greg Battle was the leading scorer, averaging ten points per game. Since the beginning of the season, the most improved player was guard Tony Gill. 247 w Born to be Wild! Joe Gladieux, Jeff Rupp and Greg Battle show just S-T-R-E-T-C-H!

Not a head hung low at a freshman wrestling meet! Instead fans saw dry-eyed, smiling wrestlers who bucked every oppo- nent that got in their way. Once again, the freshmen wrest- ling team ended the season undefeated. Who were the brains behind the Big Red Machine? New head coach John Hofbauer Cast yeafs assistanti and new assistant coach Joe Meszaros with extra help from Doug McBroom and Ken Gosbeth. These gentlemen led the team on to one victory after another, setting new in- dividual and school records. The new school records are: the most pins by Denver Beck and Jason walling with 21, the most tournaments ever won i5i, and the record for most wins i24i was broken by seven wrestlers. Chad Swan moved the record up to 26. . Marcus Manz held the best individual record with 25 wins, no losses and 1 lie. The most improved wrestler went to Greg Coon and Frank Kern.

But the long, hard workouts and painful dieting paid off when it came time for getting a hand raised in victory. Even more pride was experienced when another team wrestling trophy was added to Bedfordls fine collection. The team consisted of 7th and 8th graders. If a 7th grader beat an 8th grader, we would get the position on the team. The coaches did this so that they could find the best team possible. This season was a very new experience for the 7th graders. Practicing each day for 2V2 hours and competing in dual meets was something they had never done before. Assistant Coach Ken Gosbeth said, ill think the team did real well. Next year if they do as well as they did this year, Well have a real strong freshman team. The season started out a little bit ilslow but everybody soon adjusted to the new coaching and different proce- dures used to help the wrestlers. Head Coach John Hoffbaur commented, ttl liked coaching a lot better this year because I was the head coach and had more control and authority over the team? Coach Hoffbaur also was the ninth grade coach, so he had even more work to do. Also helping coach the 7th and 8th grade team were Joe Meszaros, Ken Gosbeth, and Doug McBroom, all of whom were once Bedford wrestlers. After all of the work and hard effort, the winning wasnlt the only reward given to the guys. Many new friends were made and all of the teammates felt a sense of closeness and got to help one another and show each other en- couragement. uI liked the bus rides the best, I guess, because after a victory everyone was excited and rowdy, and close, like a team should bef' commented 7th grader Ryan McBroom. 93 Serve, Bump, Spike Three Teams Improve Spirit As the time came for each freshman volleyball game to start, with the team in a circle, Tonya Leffel, co-captain of the freshmen volleyball game, yelled out tiBedford how do you feel? and the rest of the team followed with ttWe feel fine . . . V, Freshman Heather Cousins commented, ttl think our most exciting game was against Ypsilanti because we just came back from a 105sz hot all the teams I have had, this was probably the largest group of real, real quality peopleft replied fresh- man volleyball coach, Mr. Tim Cady. The new seventh grade volleyball coach Cheryl Baker stated ttAnn Arbor and St. Francis were our most exciting games because they were pretty well skilled and were very competitivef Eighth grade volleyball coach Chris Williams agreed with her. The eighth grade team had a pretty good season, for being the only eighth grade team in about four years. Eighth grader Jenny Kunkel commented, tiMs. Williams was a really good coach and she worked us hard which was for our own benefit in the end. Seventh grader Jennie Bringman stated, ttl thought it was really cool that we won our first game? The seventh grade volleyball team became the first seventh grade volleyball team ever. ttl think our most ex- citing game was the first game we played because it brought our spirits up, commented seventh grader Jill Posta. ttl thought Ms. Baker was nice. She got a little tough on us sometimes, but it just helped us get better, replied Jennie Bringham.

On Your Marks, Go! Track Remains A Co-Ed Sport Boys and girls on the same team? Thatls one thing that makes track different from any other sport. All the coaches work with everyone, boys and girls, junior high or high school. Each of the coaches had a specialty area in which he worked. Every day the teams started out practice with field events. The team members split up and worked with the coaches in their area. After that they went on to their run- ning event. In order for coaches to better help the team, the follow- ing coaches were added to the staff: Mr. Larry Ol Dell, Miss Linda Schira, Mr. Robert Tienvieri, and former track runners Kara Walcher and Bob Tenney. The passing of the millage made this possible. It also made it possible for the JV and varsity to get all new uniforms. ltBeing involved in track was an exciting experience? quoted new track coach, Ms. Linda Schira. New coach, Mr. Larry OlDell added, llOur track team has had a quality performance in the past and the addition of new coaches should help this to continue? uI run track to get in shape for the summer plus it gives me a sense of accomplishment? commented eighth grade sprinter Nikki Morris. 96 Up up and away!

Boys Work Hard to Stay on Top One of the biggest changes saw the freshman runners running as part of the junior varsity track team. ttThis gave them more competition since most of our opponents con- sidered their freshman JV, commented seventh and eighth grade track coach, Mr. John Krechauf. ttDue to the millage passing, the JV and varsity track teams received all new uniforms, stated distance coach Mr. Lynn Gray. The 100 Mile Club helped get the track team geared up as well as in shape for the track season. Members of the 100 Mile Club ran five miles a day for twenty days. The runners who finished the 100 Mile Club received a patch. Victory required more than just running. There had to be talent in shot put, long jump, low and high hurdles, and pole vault. ttTrackts a great sport because therets a lot more room on a track team than any other sport? stated coach, John Krechauf. Because of the various events in track, there are approximately fifty students competing in each of the dual meets. ttl feel our two toughest meets were against Whitmer and Monroeft commented seventh grade track runner, Randy Krupp. Coach John Krechauf added, ttWe didntt think of any of our opponents as an easy win because in order to win you must first beat yourself?

Squad Enhances Enthusiasm During Football and Basketball Seasons Bronco Cheerleaders Raise Fansi Spirit. iiSpirit, style, cut loose, get wild? The cheerleaders displayed their uspirit and stylen throughout the football and basketball seasons. Enthusing and raising the spirit of the crowds and team members were part of the cheerleaders responsibilities. The cheerleading squad was selected last spring after try-outs were held. The girls had to learn three jumps, one cheer, and a chant to try-out. This year the girls had a new advisor, math teacher, Miss Linda Schira. til liked working with them because they were very creative and enthusiastic about what they were doing. stated Miss Schira. The cheerleaders learned new cheers and chants during practices. They had practice once a week during the summer and approximately twice a week during the school year. On November 1, the squad participated in a clinic sponsored by the Dynamic Cheerleading Association at Central Michigan University. tiWe had a really good time together learning new cheers and helping each other out, commented freshman cheerleader, Deena Gould. Overall, the cheerleaders thought this year was a good year. Freshman cheerleader, Danielle Stanton concluded, uI enjoyed this year because all of us got along and had a great time together. 101 nic Band membef Nicole g3; practices her part for the 1f upcominggz gaChristmaS concext i wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww 1516121 11101111161142? if ' ' orthwhlie 1 riff Activities hewidgii: livgii: up thz peopleto make X schdol routine.

Freshmen Dave Smiddy, Sandra Church, Chn'stine Lykowski, and Diane Smith have fun at the first dance sponsored by Student Council. How about this . . . Eighth grade representative Nikki Jagielski gives president Chad Swan an idea for some activities for the studenlt counci. Student Council Makes Year Special Members keep the school spirit moving with different activities. Who was responsible for setting up dances and many other exciting events that took place during the school year? The Student Council of course! Whether it was the pep assemblies, dances, or fund raisers, the Student Council was almost always involved. The Halloween dress-up day started off the year. There was a contest for the best three costumes. The judging took place in the lunchroom and finally during 6th hour, prize money was given to the winners. The first dance came next, with the theme of 50s dress. The boys wore white T-shirts and slicked-back hair; while the girls came in either long white shirts and rolled up jeans or ponytails and poodle skirts. The dance also brought a special surprise. The DJ had a huge screen set up which flashed messages out to the crowd. The day of the dance was also 505 dress day. Many of the teachers joined in the fun. Buying a card for a sweetheart and having it delivered to them on the 13th of February was made possible by Student Council. They sold Valentine cards during lunch 104 from February 9th through February 12. The Valentinels dance also made Friday the 13th special. At 7:30 people began to arrive at the school door except this time things were different. The girls asked the boys to the dance or to dance once they started dancing. ttl thought it was neat that the girls were given the chance to ask the guys to dance? stated Julie Holman, a freshman who attended the dance. To finish the school year off with a bang, another dance was held. Some of the money made by the many Student Council fund raisers bought new books for the Media Center and the flowers planted in the planter in the front of the school building. Paying for DJs and decorations for dances also used some of the council's money. Being on the Student Council meant different things to different people. To Marci Bihn, treasurer, it meant ttrepresenting the school? Trisia Evola, secretary, thought, ttlt was fun to set up what we got to do. Happy Birthday to . . .

O Mlnd an d BOd I got it! After playing racquetball the racquetball club plays a game of WalleybalY, to end the day. Two Clubs Strive For excellence I The National Junior Honor Society and Raquetball Club were two major extracurricular activities in our school. Both activities helped students accomplish their goals. Whether it was going to the library after school to study, or going to Aquarius for exercise, each found a way to become healthier in mind and body. The NJHS is an organization that recognizes honor students. Each year they have a big fund raiser. With the money they raised, they bought a sign for the junior high. This was done by selling Christmas gifts one year and candy and cheese another. It took a total of two years to save for this sign. tiThe project sign was a gift from the NJHS to our school and wasnit paid by parents taxes, stated NJHS advisor Mr. Wayne Thompson. In the last two years they saved over $3,000 which made just enough money to purchase the sign. til feel that the money we made on our sales was used in a good way because the sign will let the community know whats going on in the junior high, stated freshman Heather Reed. Each member of the NJHS also had to complete a service project for the year. In this project they had to help the community, school, elders, etc. iiThe service project was very helpful because it let me help out other people and show that the NJHS wants to help? stated freshman Theresa Blaser. To be in the NJHS each student must have a 3.5 grade average and a variety of extracurricular activities. The people who wanted to get some exercise and have fun doing it joined the Racquetball Club. For'the first time, racquetball playing was made into an activity with the help of math teacher, Ms. Linda Schira. til like playing racquetball and I wanted students to get interested, too, stated Ms. Schira. The club consists of fifteen students from 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grades. They met every Wednesday from 3:15 to 4: 15 at Aquarius Racquetball Center. The cost was $2.00 every week. iiThe racquetball club has given me a chance to learn a different sport and get great exercise, too, stated freshman Crystal Torres. $400.00!! During 7th hour, the NJHS officers conduct a meeting to discuss how much money they need to raise in the new fund raiser. Perfect! While doing their service project Brett Parachek and Kendrick Harper put a thank you message to the National Junior Honor Society on the new sign. S i I hit it!

Individual Excellence Bands Defeat Lack of Instruments Seeping through the cracks in the walls, a faint tune becomes more clear. Itis Symphonic and Concert Band III, preparing for one of their concerts. Along with playing in concerts, band members could choose to perform at the annual 5010 and Ensemble. After the competition was over, the band members earned 31 ratings of 1 and 23 ratings of 2 with a rating of 1 being superior. Each year the bands go to Festival for marks and com- ments. uWe have played well as individuals but have a lack of instrumentation as a group,n commented band director David Tolly. This year, for the first time, they went for comments only. uI really enjoyed Festival because it gives you a chance to be judged on your abilities, commented freshman Theresa Blaser. During school, both bands broke down into groups called sectionals. In sectionals, each group prepared for concerts. After school, band members had a choice to participate in private lessons. At the end of the year both bands took their annual trip to Cedar Point. Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells . . . Freshman percussionist Guy Cooper, plays the bells during a Christmas concert for the students. 109 Bands Show Spirit First year bands develop talent Stacotto, sluring, forte, and accents were some of the familiar band terms heard by the 7th grade Cadet Bands and Woodwind Ensemble. Woodwind Ensemble was formerly known as Concert Band II, which now consists of only flute and clarinet players. llWoodwind Ensemble was not considered a band because there was a lack of brass and percussion players. The Ensemble plays clarineVHute duets and tn'os instead of Concert Band musicfl stated Mr. David Tolly, band direc- tor. Seventh grade Cadet Band members strived to be the best in upcoming years. Seventh graders have worked hard and sounded great, and each and every student hoped to be in Symphonic Band next year. Alto Saxo- phone player Sean Aukland stated, ill will be really glad if I am chosen to be in Symphonic Band because ifs the best band? Even with all the competition from other students and pressure from Mr. Tolly, both the Cadet Bands and Wood- wind Ensemble seemed to have given great performances all year. . , . .L'lil. 'Jf'vumu.

First Edition, started three years ago by instructor Mrs. Sue Berry, gives exceptional ninth grade singers a chance to show off their many talents by performing at places like Portside and the Golden Haven Nursing Home. First Edition, the only ninth grade show choir in the area, was started because, quoted Mrs. Berry, tilt was better than wasting homeroom time.,' Even though they made up a lot of dances, it didnlt get any easier to choreography songs. First Editioner, Heather Healy said, itEach song was different and we were always looking for new moves so that the songs didnt look the same. For the first time this year, Choir was an elective offered to freshmen. The forty-one members were taught new songs and got to perform concerts for the school and parents. Choir was started because, itthere has never been a freshman level vocal music program because of the mill- age failures, but now we have the class, quoted Mrs. Berry. Performing concerts was new for many students. Choir member, Christy Sprott said, ltl had fun performing for the people because I like to entertain them.n Each kid had a different reason for enjoying choir or participating in First Edition. No matter what they were, a lot of memories that will last forever were made this year.

Freshman Jill Wunder records names of people who were absent during her homeroom period. Students Lend A Hand To Staff Members During Homeroom School Helpers Complete Jobs for Teachers While most people were in homeroom cramming their brains with knowledge for tests, finishing their next hours' homework, or just twiddling their thumbs, a few others were providing help for the school. The three jobs, for students to work on, were lab assistants, library workers, and attendance takers. Lab assistants completed many tasks for the science teachers including filing tests, cleaning and taking inven- tory on equipment, and filling chemical bottles. Mr. Bell commented, ltLab assistants are very helpful. They free me up so I can do other things I have to get done. liltls pretty fun and I can do my homework when I want to, so Pm not obligated to do it everyday, stated a fresh- man assistant for Mr. Bell, Darlene Fisher. Freshman, Marty Mohr stated, Ill enjoy being a lab assis- tant, but I hate wearing the respirator masks, goggles, and apronslll Mr. Palicki received much hlep from the library workers during fourth and fifth hour. Media Clerk, Mrs. Debby Gregory quoted, ltlfs well worth having helpers because we need them to help keep the shelving caught up. Their line of work dealt with filing cards, straightening shelves, running errands, and putting items in alphabetical order. HHelping out in the library was a lot more exciting than just sitting around in homeroom, remarked seventh grade library worker, Ginny Martin. Attendance takers offered a great amount of help to secretaries, Mrs. Poole and Mrs. Maison. During home- room, their duties consisted of checking the absent sheets and adding names that didnlt appear on the first hours list. llHaving attendance takers helps us a great deal, but it would be even more helpful if they could take attendance every hour, commented Mrs. Maison. Freshman, Leslie Cole Stated, Ill like being an atten- dance taker because I get to see all of my friends in their classes while walking through the halls? As well as being greatly appreciated, students who took on these jobs learned how to handle different types of responsibility. Scientific Sense!
