During this season, our grapplers built up a fine 11-2 record in ant- icipation of what was to come. In the newly formed CSAC, Central Subur- ban Athletic Conference, the Hor- nets won a hard fought battle, and a much deserved 1st place title. The hopes of Beech Grove ' s first Sectio- nal Title were dwindled away by a mere IV points. But Coaches Bane and McNamara ' s fired up Hornets went to the state regional with 7 county high entries, they then walked away with our school ' s first regional championship. With 4 grapplers advancing to the fmals, suddenly a dream became real- ity. Something Coaches Bane and McNamara and their team had built for nearly 5 years was within their grasp. As throughout all of the season, our 4 state contestants, Ralph Ed- wards-98, Gary Pierson-119, Mark Cruse-132, and Larry Ogden-185, were supported by a huge crowd of Hornet backers. As the day went on, much joy and disappointment fell upon the shoulders of the Coaches. The first place score between Beech Grove and a powerful returning state champ, Bloomington, was like that of a see-saw. When the evening consolation started we had 2 men. They were vying for third and fourth places. Mark went first and came out with a fourth place title adding a point. Larry went next and came out third, giving up 2 more points. Ralph was first on the mat and put us back on top as he became Beech Grove ' s first state champ, finishing up a fine prep career. Soon after BG ' s first state titlist Gary followed with a fine perform- ance. The hopes of a state champion- ship slipped through our grasp with the ticking of the clock and the slap of the mat. The Hornet ' s impossible dream— turned reality was smashed by the defending state champions, Bloomington, who beat out the Hor- nets by a half point, a mere half point. A great deal of recognition and credit is deserved by Coach Bane and Coach McNamara who helped to de- velop our fine reserve squad as well as varsity. To the coaches and the 1971-72 wrestling team, we salute you for your many long hours of hard work, and congratulate you for your many accomplishments. i« « . o 1 3 -§ ACTIVITIES .« -■ Woods And Bogard Reign Over Homecoming Football Homecoming Activities blossomed from chicken wire, crepe paper, and hope, into three proud class floats of which the Senior class achieved 1st place. Barb Bogard and Ciirtis Woods and their royal court. Deb Turk, Karen Johnson, Alison Haley, Deb Cooper, Mark Bates, Mark Cruse, Jeff Griggs, and Gary Pierson highlighted the half time ex- travaganza around the football field. Hornet females wore black and or- ange mums to the game and the an- nual dance that proceeded with the reigning of the royalty. 20 LCtivities K i r i qk jr ' P k JL ft l h 21 22 Rain brings blooming queen ■rfT: ?mmm The fall showers didn ' t dampen the spirit of the queen and her court as they presided over the 1972 Annual Yearbook Dance. The dance provides extra income for the book and an op- portimity for last years Seniors to pick up their books and a small reun- ion with fellow classmates. The climax of the evening came early when Hilah Hamble announced the 1972 queen Debbie Turk, while Dara Leary crowned her and Jeff Griggs presented her with a dozen red roses. The princesses were Lynn Martin, Beth Hanley, Susie Janke, Bemeda Keene and Darlene Pierson. 23 Tum-a-bout ' s Fair Play With the theme of Colour My World, the gals got their chance to treat their guys to a night on the town. After an expensive dinner the couples returned to the school for a semi-formal dance, with music pro- vided hv the Ja Dells. 24 S ' ' i H i H 1 ft i i 1 1 ' I Si B 1 25 Golden dreams drift to shore The isle of Golden Dreams theme swaved with the palm trees and trickled with the volcanic stream. Bill Holwager announced the golden dream that came true for Karen Johnson and Curt Woods, the royalty of the isle. The grass hut held the prom favors, beer mugs and cham- pagne glasses. 27 Graduation begins lifes May 22, 1972 will be remembered in the minds of all present today. With these words the president of the senior class, Jeff Griggs, set the tone for an evening for all seniors to reflect on for years to come. Valedictorian, Tom Fairchild, and Salutatorian. John Barnhart, also charged the class of 72 on to even brighter fiitnres. As the scholarships and awards were presented and di- plomas received, the last act of a 12 year journey was completed. Tassels moved from right to left and the last year was history. 28 ;reatest challenge 29 Senator, Rock, and Newsreel cameramen highlight 30 onvocations 31 32 SPORTS 33 Tennis team has finest season 1 1 Row 1, L to R, J.

Honorary captain, Greg Brodie and his teammates completed this season with an outstanding 9-3 record. The team placed third in the tough Southport sectional and with another fine performance they placed third in the Central Suburban Athletic Conference. • ■ • ■ • 35 Grove men run foi 1 Junior Bob Ford puts forth a good effort. 2 Heading for the finish, Mike Himes makes it look easy. 3 . fter a race, Jesse Trueblood waits for the final results. 4 Row 1, L to R, J.

The 1972 Hornet cross coun- try team is an example of fine young men who were always willing to sac- rifice for a cause. Whether this cause was winning a meet, or running to earn money for crippled children. The boys who composed our cross country team are some of the reasons we can be proud. ■ ■• ' ? -- m lft - . ■■■ - - ' , ' 37 Football Hornets 9 anc 38 L champs again 1 Hornets get ready to put the defense to the enetnv. 2 Hornet fullback.

An 8-2 record in the ' 70 season provided a sneak preview of better things to come. Such as a 9-1 1971 record, Marion County Runners-Up Honors, a Central Suburban Athletic Confer- ence Co-Championship, and much deserving news and sports coverage. Only through hard work, determina- tion and pride were coaches Topping and McNamara able to turn out such a fine season; and a great team of athletes. 41 :. i J .

Though early in the season a 3 win- 2 loss standing showed bright promises. The season was clinia.xed bv injuries, a commu- nication gap, and misunderstandings. But even though all of these ob- stacles, when someone came to one of oiu ' games they could not help to sense the feeling that our team had pride and that thev were winners no matter what the scoreboard showed.

This year ' s track team recorded an improvement, but still the Hornets suffered a losing season. However coaches Mitchell and Steckle were pleased with the 7 county entries our team qualified for the sectionals and City-County meet. This year ' s team made up mostly by underclassmen, was led by 3 sen- iors Gary Pierson, Gary Langell, Rick Quinette. Gary Pierson led the Hornets in points total and team- leadership as he ran the 100, 220, and the 880 vd. relays. Gary Langell came back for the Hornets this year after missing a season as a jimior, and was tops in the pole vault for E.G. with a vault of 12 ' 6 ' . 53 Baseballers finish season 11-6 r=r-tT4.TjQ ■ ' y ' 1 I 1 1 Manager R.

Coach Jim Hohlt had another successful season as head mentor and found future stars in John Gibson and Dave Atwood. The Hor- nets season was climaxed with deci- sive wins over imbeaten Ben Davis and Lawrence that kept them in the nmning for the Central Suburban Conference Title. 55 Young golfers gain experience The golf team had a youthful look this vear. The load was carried by mostly imderclassmen, with seniors Mark Bates and Bill Kistner being the team ' s experienced backbone. Bringing back experience next year will be juniors Kerry Axuni, Davy Crockett and sophomore Mike Mi- celi. The team this year set a new school record for lowest score. 1 Taking a practice swing before a meet is senior Mark Bates. 2 L. to R. Coach Topping, B, Kistner. D. Crockett, .VI. Bates, M. Miceli, M.

Answer: Work. Like every P.E. class, the students participated in several sports throughout the year. Miss Ferkins and Mr. Bane clearly stated that they are not trying to make an all around athlete out of each and every stu- dent, but only to discover and im- prove their athletic abilities as indi- viduals. There has been a new addition to the boy ' s gymnastics pro- gram. This is the still rings . The boys are still trying to discover and improve their abilities on them, al- though the class did find the rings a challenge. 70 Ferkins, Bane team teach Health and Safety The health and safety classes are en- gaged in a new and better way of learning.
