We learned that the seniors won the Spirit Contest which was judged by how many students dn.essed up to participate during Spirit Week. At the annual pep assembly the Juniors had more spirit when it came to judging the Spirit Contest. The stoats were judged just before the parade. The football game was dissapointing but halfi time was fiult o entertainment. The queen and her court were nervously awaiting the announcing o the queen. Janice Olajson was chosen as birch Run's Homecoming Queen. Janice stated It is a fantastic honor that I shall never ever farget. The Juniors won the faoat judging contest with their Centipede. Immediately afaer the game, the annual homecoming dance was held. It was sponsored by the Student Council. The dance was held firom 10 until 1 and the music was provided by 105 FM.

Foreign Exchange Students We Welcome Five brave strangers from foreign lands visited us during the 1983-84 school year. From Finland, we welcomed Pia Taavila; hail- ing from Sweden were Anna-Lena Fredin and Jesper Soderquist; from Spain was Rosa Martin Martin; and coming all the way from the Netherlands was Govert Janse. I would like to travel here when I'm out of school, commented Pia Taavila, from Vantaa, Fin- land. Pia liked the U.S., but noted a few differences. At our schools, we have 13 or 14 different subjects each year, plus we have a choice of various languages, aside from the three that are required. Back home, Pia enjoys dancing, reading, being with friends and going to the movies. She enjoys Woody Allen films, and listening to the Police and David Bowie. Someday, Pia would like to come back and visit. I would like to go to New York, and see the sights, and to California because it's so warm, Pia added. Anna-Lena Fredin is from a small town called Vasteras, Sweden. She says of the U.S., people talk more here. They talk more openly about different things, and the television shows are better here; especially the soaps, like General Hospital. During the time that Anna spent here, she had the opportunity to spend two weeks in Florida, visit Disney World and the Epcot Center. It was wonderful! There was so much to do! exclaimed Anna. Anna would also like to go to California, South Carolina, Colorado and see the desert in Nevada. Anna encouraged every one to come to Europe if they have the opportunity. Come to Sweden, she said. It's a beautiful country. My house is open to you! The clothes are differ- ent, remarked foreign ex- change student Rosa Martin. In Spain we wear a lot of ruffles and our pants are pegged. Rosa visited B.R. from Valencia, Spain, and enjoys Brave Strangers” dancing and going to the markets of Spain. When questioned about the possibility of visiting again, Rosa thought she'd like to come back and that she liked the U.S. except for the fact she could never drive! Rosa stayed with the Robert Langmaid family on Main Street in Birch Run. Foreign Exchange student Govert Janse had an advantage over his fellow foreign students. While he may have gotten homesick for the Nether- lands, living in the United States with his sister and her husband made it all the more bearable. In the Netherlands, we only heard that the U.S. was ahead of every- thing, but when you come here it is normal, commented Govert. Did he like the U.S.? Well, he enjoyed it so much that he plans on staying through 1988 and then attending college here. 'Realistic' is how foreign exchange student Jesper Soderquist de- scribed his idea of the United States before he arrived in our country. Jesper hails from Stockholm, Sweden, the capital and chief seaport in the area. The young people in Sweden attend many cinemas, dances and parties. I hope the friends that I have here have en- joyed having me, com- mented Jesper. I know I really enjoyed being here with them. Above, foreign ex- change student Jesper Soderquist proves he's all muscles as he and his comrades clown around. All students are from Europe.

Someday Soon was on every senior’s mind at the beginning of the year. Even though this was the end of their high school careers, the seniors will never forget all the mem- orable times and activi- ties in it. The seniors finished school on May 31, a week earlier than in previous years. With the new rule of seniors finishing early, those who passed all the requir- ed credits and classes received their cap and gown, diploma, and were allowed to participate in the ceremonies. When asked about the graduation requirements, Mr. Glenn Davis, economics and government teacher, stat- ed, I am in total agree- ment with the new grad- uation ceremony procedures and feel that having seniors take exams early and then be off campus for the final week will be beneficial to the under- classmen. Throughout the year there were many activities and classes to keep seniors busy. Most had their pictures taken to exchange with friends and to give to family members. In early December, the announcements were ordered. Some of the items bought were: name cards, grad- uation jewelry, gradua- tion announcements, mem- ory books, pocket diplo- mas , and open house in- vitations. The announce- ments were delivered in early May. Seniors also participated in Honors Night, Baccalaureate, and Commencement.

Honors Night What a Feeling it Many students experienced the feelings which accompany achievement Tuesday evening. May 29, as they were feted in the annual Honors Night Awards ceremony. Two students. Heather McCray and Paul Moore, received gold cowls indicating their superior academic performance as Summa Cum Laude graduates. Both seniors earned an overall grade point average between 3.75 and 4.0 throughout their high school careers. Seven members of the class of 1984 accrued grade point averages of 3.5 to 3.74 to earn the distinction of Magna Cum Laude graduates. Wearing the traditional blue cowl to signify their achievements were Andrew Beckman, Donald Cook, Tina Cramer, Randy Eischer, Craig Essenmacher, Pamela Garfield and Bonnie Pruis. Those students who demonstrated their academic talents by earning grade point ave- rages of 3.0 to 3.49 received blue and gold honor cords to identify them as Cum Laude graduates. Receiving the cords were Mike Austin, James Belill, Stephanie Bradburn, Karin Clore, Debra Early, John Gizzo, Belinda Hargraves, Franklin Huber, Shawn Kelly, Holly Kern, Natalie Linton, Jon Lohrmann, Jeff Lynch, Angie Miller, Shawn Miller, Nancy Napier, Todd Rabb, Mark Ruppel, Ron Schmitzer, David Solak, Lori Suppes, Tom Taylor, Tracy Taylor, Paul Thompson, Katrina Titus, Lisa Wicker, Eric Worden and Jim Yeager.

Baccalaureate, a religious service honoring graduates, was held on Sunday, June 3, 1984. The ceremony began at 1:00 P. M. in the Layman Build- ing Gymnasium. The processional was played by Ms. Marlene Pruitt on the organ, accompanied by Karyn Scharrer on the piano. Steve Solinski delivered the Invoca- tion and welcome. Climb Every Mountain was played by Karyn Scharrer. The primary address of the ceremony was given by Father Thomas McNamara. Father McNamara graduated from Birch Run High School in 1956, and attended CMU upon graduation. He has been a lifetime resi- dent of the community. He taught Lake Fenton high school students for 19 years. He be- came ordained as a priest in 1982. He spoke to the theme of Committment and Service. Following the sermon, Ms. Pruitt performed the song You’ll Never Walk Alone . The Benediction and closing addresses were delivered by Michael Austin. Junior class members who served as ushers were Kim Coughlin, Ingrid Diffin, Melissa Glann, and Lisa Greanya. 40 Something We Should Know ?

Deanna and Colleen both served on the volleyball team. Orators Practicing Causes Orators to All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today ... This was the motto of the graduating class of 1984. Practicing day and night to thoughtfully express the feelings of this phrase kept the senior class orators Talking in Their Sleep . The 1984 class orators were chosen on May 3, 1984, by a panel of eight faculty members. Holly Kern, Angie Miller, Paul Moore, and Paula Strelecki were chosen to deliver their oratories on Thursday, June 7, during commencement exercises. In her speech. Holly Kern compares our lives to a poker game - we were being dealt a hand, and we wouldn’t al- ways win. She paraphrased Kenny Rogers’ hit song The Gambler - Know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away, know when to run. Holly suggested to all upcoming graduates thinking of trying out to be an orator: If you really want to, you must try. You’ll never know if you can unless you do. Angie Miller’s speech referred to life as a book, and that graduation was just another chapter, and now it was time to go on to the next one. We are the beginning - the builders of a brighter tomorrow, said Angie. And we must never settle for less than being the best we can be. Angie thought there were far too few seniors that tried out for senior class orator. She suggested that if you wish to become an orator, just say what you feel inside - don’t hold anything back - you’ll do GREAT! Paula Strelecki decided to try out for senior class orator because she wanted to deliver a message to her fellow classmates. Paula compared life to driving through an intersection and mak- ing a wrong turn. We may have to turn back and take the correct path, but mak- ing our own decisions is the most im- portant thing of all. We will learn from our mistakes. Paula suggested to all to those who would like to speak at future commencements, Try it, and just see how you do. You won’t know until you try. be 1 Talking in Their Sleep Paul Moore spoke of their successes in life, and that graduating was only one of a series. Paul decided to try out for class orator because he enjoyed public speaking and he was encouraged by his family. Paul advised future class orator candidates to just be yourself and have confidence in what you're saying. His speech conveyed an im- portant message not only to graduates, but to everyone; Success is not in how others look at you, but how we look at ourselves.

The brown slimy gook bubbled out of the incision made by the Anatomy student. Sharp pins were incerted into the glossy skin of the fetal pig. Kathy Eisner remembers this day very well. She explained, I just remember being real nervous looking at the pig before I cut it open. Just seeing the pig's innocent face made me want to cry.It's something I'll never forget. Kathy said, Cutting the throat was the worst part of it all. The knife feels weird scraping against the pig's skin It's very interesting and I'd do it again in a minute.

The freshmen at Birch Run are traditionally blamed for everything. If some one ( it doesn’t matter who ) comes and goes through the wrong door they are marked as little freshmen Shouts come from the back of the crowd, Those freshmen are so stupid they don't even know what door to go in. or maybe you’ve heard this... Oh yuck! It's a freshman. I heard these slimy creatures are poisonous. Don't take it personally because we all went . through the same thing.

Freshmen, sophomores and juniors in bright colors and their hair combed perfectly. All the girls wore their make-up so radiant. It was another year that the students dressed up to get their pictures taken. The memories of these photographs will last a life- time. It was almost unbelievable to see some of them that actually looked nice and neat in some- thing other than T-shirts and jeans. For awhile I thought I was in the wrong place, but after third hour the shirts came untucked and the hair was forgotten once again. I must admit it was wonderful to be back to normal once more.

The National Honor Society is an orga- nization of high school students sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Its main goal is to service the community and school and also to enrich its members academically. When asked how the National Honor Society got started, Mr. Jerry Psotka, principal, stated, In a continuing effort never to make scholars an endangered spe- cies, we were always looking for ways to make scholarships and found NHS a wav of doing that. The students in NHS are chosen for their outstanding scholarship, character, leadership and community services. Mem- bership eligibility is determined bv the national chapter. Locallv, first pre- requisites are a 3.5 or better grade point average, second is leadership and third is participation in the community. The main goal of the National Honor Society is to ensure the comtinuation of higher academic standards. NHS is a club for good scholars, stated Mr. Mike Murphy, advisor of NHS for the oast two years. Being the advisor of the Exten- ded Learning Program, Mr. Murphy felt it natural that he should advise the National Honor Society because thev com- pliment each other.

Counseling Changes Students Experience The school has undergone some nev; counseling changes, which began to take olace during the 1982- 1983 school year. These changes were de- signed to aid students in developing a career nlan. In the past years, students chose their classes only one year at a time. They also alternated every year with our two coun selors, Mr. Jerry Telgenhof and Miss Barbara Goldstein. VTith the new changes though, students had the same counselor throughout all four years. The counselors talked with students about a career t lan. After they decided on some future plans, classes were chosen for all four years according to the students' career nlan. nnce the students have selected their classes, a con- ference was held with the student, his her teacher, and his her counselor.(continued) a “Cool Change” This new four year plan affected the types of classes that students chose. Because of narent contact, many students discussed their classes at home. As a result, the students took classes that were important to their future. Beginning upper left and clockwise Miss Goldstein is dis- tributing Michigan Ed- ucation Assesment Pro- gram test results to a 10th grade English class. Miss Goldstein has worked at BR since 1974.

Ac- counting student Karen Davis is analyzing business transactions. 86 When Students Choose Classes When the time of year for selecting classes came around, pandemonium developed due to the many classes that Birch Run had to offer. Art class, foods, boys' physical education, and accounting were among the most popular classes. Students who took art did such things as staining glass, waxing, people drawing, and shading. I like art because it helped me unwind after a couDle hours of sit- ting through other classes, commented Mark Weston. Practice sets, learning payroll and accounting techniques were some of the things taught in Ms. Linda Davis' accounting class. These were just a few of the many classes offered to the students at Birch Run. These classes gave students some insight on other sub- jects other than those that were required and were fun as well as educating.

I'm looking forward to teaching comDuter programming. It should be interesting for me, and hooefullv imformative for the students who take the class, commented Mr. Schilke. Mr. James Hauck stated that the class was intended to show students how computers affected their every- day lives and teach them self dis- cipline in terms of computer pro- gramming. Mr. Hauck added that what made him interested in teaching a computer class was the challenge of teaching a new subject. A subject which at best, was quite difficult since it involves a whole new language and new concepts. He also viewed it as a personal goal to try and get kids to accent the challenge of computer pro- gramming and what it takes to become proficient at it. Computer class student Lisa Wicker said, The new class has taught me some of the Apple Basic Language and how to write and execute a program. Beginning uoner left and clock- wise: Seniors Tracy Tavlor, Jeff Pruis, and Lisa Gabriel worked on the Apple lie computers.

At Birch Run High School there are many classes to choose from. There are also some that are required. Those classes are one year of Mathematics, one year of Biology, one year of American History, three years of English, one semester of Government and one semester of Z conomics. esides the required classes there are a minimum of 18 credits needed in order to graduate. Other than the required classes we already have, Mr. Jerry Telgenhof, high school counselor, feels that we should have two years of Mathematics and two years of Science. A committee was formed to discuss whether the number of credits should be raised. It was made un of the Board of Education, Mr. Dsotka, Mr. Telgenhof, Ms. Goldstein, Lisa Wicker, Tim Belill and some parents. It is now up to the Board of Education to decide whether the number of credits should be raised from 18 to 21. When filling out a yearly plan students are also asked to fill out a four year plan that will help them in their career goals.

Wolfe, of the School of Ed- ucation at Texas Christian University was 'aired by the school to help the faculty develop the mastery learning project. Dr. Wolfe arrived from Texas several times throughout the year to aid the teachers and inform the Board of Education of the project's progress. Mrs. Jan Pollard, Mr. Steve Schilke, and Mr. Bob Buckel are working on writing test questions for the mastery learning plan. Several times during the year teachers were given release time to work on their curricu- lum projects. � 2 With MASTERY LEARNING Mastery learning is a system of instruction based on the idea that nearly all students can learn what the schools expect them to achieve. Curriculum changes planned for our school district are based on this idea. Teachers throughout the district have completed Phase One of the curriculum project. This involved writing performance objectives for all classes and establishing mini- mum performance levels for these individual objectives. Work then began on writing test items to mea- sure the performance and achieve- ment of students. Implementation of the plan will place more responsibility for learning on the students shoulders. Students will be advised of the objectives for a particular unit. The unit will then be taught in class, with students participating in discussions, lectures and assign- ments as well as other activities. Once the unit is completed, the teacher will administer the perfor- mance test for the unit. Students will be required to not just pass the test but pass all objectives considered essential for the course at the minimum competency level. Review work will be conducted with students who fail to meet the mini- mum requirements, while advanced students are given the opportunity to participate in enrichment acti- vities. Re-tests will be given after the review. Students who do not master' essential objectives will not be given credit for the course. A big difference between this program and current procedures is that the idea of averaging will be non-existant. Currently, a student might fail a marking period, pass two marking periods, and have his grade ave- raged into a passing mark. Under mastery learning, the student must pass every essential objective in every unit in order to receive credit for the course. Several members of the faculty and administra- tion had the opportunity to visit the school dis- trict of Johnson City, New York where mastery learning is used district-wide. In that school system, students who do not master essential objec- tives nay repeat the course during summer school sessions. However, students must pay tuition to enroll in these courses. No final decision has been made by our school board as to how students in Birch Run who do not master essential objectives will be given the opportunity to repeat material. ?aau v , ?emas 50 0 200 Oub £aae, ftircb 5 uo.

Summing up the season, Coach Bob Buckel stated, The members of the team are not losers, just because the other team scored .more points. Although their record may not show it, the team gave their best and played their hardest until the last second of every game. Besides winning, Coach Buckel said that he would like the play- ers to get self-respect from the season. He would like to improve the team's win-loss record, their win-loss attitude, and their organization for next year. The team won two very hard played games throughout the season, against Bullock Creek, and the last game of the season, against Pin- conning. In three games, the Panthers lost within a close two point mar- gin.

Although everyone added mucn to the team, the members of the team chose who would represent them as Captains, Tracy Robinson and Ed Cook. Most Improved players were Russ Wells, who was leading receiver for the Panthers,and Jeff Hutchinson. When asked about winning the award Jeff commented, I don’t think I improved on just one thing, I think I improved overall on many things.

Even though coach Vitany felt the team should have been undefeated he felt they did a fine job and was very proud. It's important to have self sacrifice because once you commit yourself to a sport such as this one, you have to do the best you can. commented Mr. Vitany. The team's most challenging game of the season was against Swan Valley. They almost beat the JV last year and they were considered to be the best team in the league. Halfback Russ Wilson stated, I enjoy playing football because I play better in this sport than any other, and I like playing in the games. Coach Vitany feels the most inter- esting thing about coaching football is the friendships he develops with the players and working with people. Tom Bovee, the team's fullback , added his personal opinion, I feel the Frankenmuth game was the most challenging because I was playing injured from a previous game. The team didn't perform very well, we just played bad in all aspects. The top rushers for .the Panthers were Jeff McClintock with 737, Rovee with 476, and Wilson with 573 yards.

As Coach Kelley stated, The hardest things to teach the team are attitude, concept, and learn- ing to play as a team. Overall he was quite pleased with his coaching performance. What he en- joyed most about coaching the team was seeing progress being made.

Some of the things he would like the team to get out of this season is that hard work pays off, and the realization that they are not invincible. Coach Kelley's reason for this is he believes they are good lessons in life. Quoting Coach Patrick Kelley, We were small in numbers, but we had the quality athletes that could get the job done.

Congratulations to these girls and to the rest of the team for a season well played. 121 Varsity Wrestling To go to state and become champ- ion would be anyone's dream, but for senior, Tracy Robinson it was reali- ty when he went to wrestle at state in the heavy weight division and took first place. Tracy said, The feelings I had after winning were unbelievable. My emotions were crazy. Tracy was the iirst B.R. wres- tler to ever take state championship and he was also the first to ever go undefeated with 50 wins and no los- ses .

This is the first year they have gone undefeated and untied. The team placed 4th in the Linden Regionals and 7th in the state class B competition, which was the highest finish of any B.R. team. At the Caro District they won and it was the first district championship for any B.R. Wres- tling team. They also won the Saginaw County Tournament and the Tri-Valley Conference Championship. Mark Grant, Tracy Robinson, and John Gizzo were the first people in B.R. to have 100 wins in their high school wrestling ca- reers . Mr. Kelley, Varsity Wrestling Coach said, I would like to see more competition for starting positions and a better overall team concept. I would also like to see an improve- ment in J.V. competition as for the number of times they get to wrestle. Andy Stowell, junior, went to state and placed 2nd. He commented, It was a time when you had to really sit down and gather your thoughts. I was really nervous but the whole thing was exciting.'' The Varsity Wrestlers record proved that they worked hard and all of the work paid off to make them the Champions. 123 JV Wrestlers Don’t Bring The JV wrestling team wasn't brought down during the season when they ended with a 7-1 record. The thing about wrestling that I enjoy most is being on a winning team. commented sophomore Brady Morse. Wrestling is a very physical sport and there is alot of mental concentration that goes into the little minutes you are on the mat. Junior varsity wrestler Jeff Zissler said, My goal for the season was to go on the mat and give 100%, and to place in every tournament. The Panthers did very well through the season. They brought home the very first trophy for any JV wrestling team. Beginning upper left and clockwise: Robin Raymond raises his arm in victory. He is a senior.

Angie Miller was also chosen as Miss Birch Run in 1983. The cheerleaders perform at a pep assembly before the Franken- muth football game. Janice Olafson was the 1983 Homecoming Queen. The squad shows us their spirit at a pep assembly. Here they cheered the Freshmen on during a spirit contest. The Varsity Cheerleaders gave us many mighty Rebel Yells that made the crowds cheer. They did more than just cheer the crowds on during football and basketball seasons. All year long they are involved in practices that prepare them for camp in the summer and compe- tition in September. In the summer of 1983 they took 2nd place in camp and then went to Dynamic Cheerleader Asso- ciation (DCA) competition and again took 2nd place. Throughout the year the cheerlead- ers showed their spirit by making post- ers for the halls and they performed at pep assemblies before the games. Kelly Smith, a cheerleader for three years said, If you want to be a good cheerleader, you have to show the crowd that you really enjoy cheerlead- ing by working hard. Although this was coach Joan Compton's last year, she commented, I have seen Birch Run Cheerleaders grow from below average to above average squads. 127 JV Cheerleaders 4 Steppin Out ’ To The J.V. cheerleaders step- ped out with a 1st place trophy when they traveled to Central Michigan University for compe- tition sponsored by (DCA) Dynamic Cheerleaders Associa- tion. During the summer, the girls attended camp and learned cheers, chants, and competed against other schools. I really enjoy coaching. It is a challenging job when you have a squad of five great girls that work so hard,” com- mented Coach Mabel Beam. A squad member Amy Stoltenberg concluded, I enjoy football season and preparing to go to camp and competition. The J.V. cheerleader's main job is to raise spirit and cheer on the J.V. teams. 128 Be 1! Beginning upper left and clockwise: JV cheerleaders (1 to r) Rhonda Sprague, Lisa Slowsky, Kim Cuthbertsoa, Amy Stoltenberg, and Dawn Samu. Dawn Samu cheers the Panthers on to a victorious game. She has been a cheer- leader for four years. The JV squad does a mount to the cheer electrify. They did this cheer in competition. The JV cheerleaders attempt a new type of mount in practice. They practice almost every night of the week after school. 129 Freshman Cheerleaders Their Spirit Comes There is a cheer that says, Panthers' Spirit: Straight From the Heart! When you're talking about the Freshman Cheerleaders, the cheer is true, because that's where their spirit comes from. The Cheerleading Squad prac- ticed and worked hard to cheer well for their teams, and to gain popularity as a squad that is both original and together. The Freshman Squad went to Dynamic Cheerleading Associa- tion's Camp (DCA) this summer at Northwood Institute in Midland. They learned many new stunts, chants, cheers, and routines. They won many ribbons for vari- ous cheering qualities. On the final day, they competed in the Junior Division along with other Junior Varsity and Freshman Squads. They failed to place, but recieved Most Improved in their Goal Group. The Freshman girls also par- ticipated in DCA Cheerleader Day at Central Michigan Univer- sity on October 29, and came back with fourth place against other Freshman Class B Squads. Coach Sherri Boulton says , I enjoy the satisfaction of seeing the squad improve so much since the beginning of the year the most.

They were, of course, the Var- sity Pom Pon Squad. The squad worked very hard, and if you caught any of their performances, you could tell their hard work paid off. The Varsity Squad traveled to Saginaw Valley State College (SVSC) on Saturday, February 4 for the Regional Competition snonsored by Mid-American Pom Pon. The Squad finished in Second Place against other Class B Varsity Squads. They then traveled to Crestwood High to compete in the State Comnetition. At Crestwood, they placed eighth in a field of nine other Class B squads. Congratulations to the Varsity Pom Pon Squad.

Pom Pon squad danced to their routines they made us want to Come Dancing. During the half- times of J.V. basketball and football games they performed routines. Sophomore, Chris McRae said, The things I like best about pom pon are working with the girls as a team and on the night of a game, being nervous but yet excited all at once. Throughout the year the pom pon girls practice not only for the half- times but also for competition and camp. Chris Shaler, a Sophomore com- mented, I would like to see pom pon become just as important as cheer- leading, when asked what she would like to see improved. The Pom Pon squad wasn't at the games just for the fans but for the players, too. As a squad they also make things such as posters, and treats for the players and wrestlers.

For the field events you need to acquire quite a bit of skill plus like your event enough to put in the time and work to get into condition. My only goal for the season was to help the track members reach what ever goals that they lead. I am sure we reached a high percentage of those goals and exceeded them in some cases. commented Coach Phillips.

In the Tri-Valley Conference, the Girl Tracksters had very stiff competition. At the Conference Meet in Frankenmuth, they took fifth. Being a very young team, the Panthers lacked experience. But, they showed great improvement throughout the year and proved to be a well-rounded team despite only 19 girls. Birch Run participated in two tri-meets. Against Pinconning and Reese, they captured second. Against Bay City Handy and Clio, they finished last. The team also competed in the Birch Run Girls Relays, an annual event. Out of the nine teams, B.R. finished eighth. MacArthur and Hemlock tied for first. The Regional Tournament took place at Ovid-Elsie High School on May 18.

They won 10 games and lost 11 for the overall season. Their league record was 5 and 9. This years team was mostly carried by freshmen. Most of the sophomores had never played before and were just learn- ing the game and the skills to play the game, commented Coach Dianne Duby. The girls ended up one game under the 500 mark, thier goal, which is really good for such a young and inexperienced team. A lot of different skills are needed to play softball. Some of the skills that need a keen eye and good judgement are catching and hitting. Hitting depends upon timing and learning to keep your eye on the ball until it hits the bat. Catching is relatively the same. The games aren't the best part for the team its the fun that comes after the game and the satisfaction from winning.

The Panthers felt their team could have played a better season by playing as a team and playing foundamental baseball at the time that they were all qualified to. You need coordination and concentration to play baseball. You really don’t have a skill of a good glove or a good bat born in you, you need to work on it then it comes to you. With batting you just have to learn to watch the ball to the bat and know where to but it. I guess all places need some per- sonal skill but it's all mental and knowing the game. said Bryan Altman. You also have to overcome fear of a baseball and have good eye contact, ommented Ryan Boulcon. The team goals were to plav and learn to- gether and win as a team.

When asked how they did overall, coach Breiler replied, As a team we worked and played together as good as any coach would want. I hope the future for them goes un- limited and they stay on the right path as they are now.

The magazine that the Impetus members make comes out twice a year, once in the spring and once again in the fall. Ron Rau visited the Impetus members this year. He is an author and has had many of his writings published in Sports Illustrated and Outdoor Life. He talked about the good and bad points about being an author.

The club is a profit-raising organization with the goal of helping students assume active roles in soci- ety. It provides equal opportunities for members to grow socially, indivi- dually and intellectually. The reason I focus on FHA is because everything we do is based on family. What we do will benefit the students as they get older and have families of their own, commented Mrs. Vale. Junior Annette Kenny, President of FHA stated, I would encourage anyone to join FHA as it will be a learning experience as well as a lot of fun. The club sponsored a nut and fruit sale, a bake sale and held a Christmas party as well as other social events. In addition, they also participated in conventions at Central Michigan University and Western Michigan Uni- versity where they showed off their skills with food and housekeeping demonstrations.

The members of this organization taught the young children numbers, names of animals, relatives, food and basic Spanish sentences. The people who volunteered to do this were first and second year Span- ish students who gave up half of their class time or study hall period to teach two half-hour sessions each week. As Mr. Nye, Spanish teacher, said They deserve a well-earned 'Muchas Gracias' for a job well done! 175 Fellowship of GfepistiaR Athletes FGA Fulfills Birch Run area needy families were not disappointed this past Thanksgiving when the Fellowship of Christian Athletes fulfilled their promises, promises by distributing food to them as a result of their annual food drive, held November 14-18. In fact, 1100 articles of canned goods were collected from Bircu Run area schools. The classroom that collected the most food was given a continental breakfast of donuts and juice. The winning class was Mrs. Thomas' first hour English I composition class, and coming in second was first hour government class, led by Mr. Carstensen. FCA is a profitable organiza- tion that donates its funds to needy people and also uses them to go to summer conventions. There were 12 members, consist- ing of both boys and girls, and all were involved in some sport or another, cheerleading included. Mr. Joe Ricard, teacher of power and energy and physical education, is the advisor of FCA. It was formed because, he com- ments I saw a small group of Christian athletes in Birch Run who were missing something in their lives, and I thought this group could bring them together. He expects that the members pro- ject a Christian image of doing things for people, what is right, and to treat others as Christ would have. The FCA's future plans are to continue to fulfill their prom- ises, promises to the area’s needy, and make their Thanks- givings in the years ahead a little brighter. 176 Promises, Promises Beginning upper left and clockwise: Mr. Carstensen’s first hour government class poses with its massive collec- tion of food for the needy.

Gfeess Gfoih KRi hts itt Wfeifce Satin Take Seventh Our Knights in White Satin rode to seventh place at state competi- tion. The team had an overall sea- son record of 6-2. Mr. Frank Schiepek has been the coach of the chess team since its inception six years ago. According to Coach Schiepek, the characteris- tics of a good player are, An ana- lytical and tactical mind, with a bit of killer instinct. A person can be aggressive and passive and still have an even chance of understanding his line of play. Tom Strong, Freshman, apparently developed these character- istics to the fullest, as he was named Most Valuable Player. The team faced some difficult op- ponents, including Cass Tech, of Detroit. Cass Tech was our most challenging opponent, commented Coach Schiepek. they've been first in the state for the last three years and they come from a highly technical school. Although the Panthers bowed to Cass Tech with a score of 3-1, Sophomore Ken Aldridge managed to steal one point from them. While having five games in pro- gress simultaneously seems confusing, scoring in chess is relatively sim- ple. Each win earns the team one point; a draw earns a half point and a loss results in no points.

What are future teachers, you ask? They are students who have made teaching their future goal. The first question you might ask about FTA is, what do they do? They learned about teaching as a career. They also worked as assistants for the ele- mentary teachers doing things such as correcting papers, reading stories, and helping the children with the alphabet and numbers. The teachers also enjoyed having assistants and really thought that it was a good experience for the students. When asked what he feels that the students get out of this Mr. Telgenhof replied. The valuable experience they get by working with elementary students and teachers. When we interviewed Mr. Telgenhof we found out that any student who is in- terested and wants to be a teacher may join. Now you see why our future teachers aren't Just Another Brick in the Wall.

To the teachers and office personnel of the school, the assistants are a great source of help. Mrs. Pataky stated. My assistants are a great help in the office, when asked if she found it bene- ficial to have assistants. For the assistants here, the work never stops. In the Community Ed. office the assistants do the typing, filing, answering the phone, they also run messages to students and teachers. In the attendance office they pick up attendance slips, do a daily summary file, answer the phone, and deliver passports and messages. The bookroom assistants do things like take messages and check out books and take back books. Although their jobs entail the same things, they are picked in different ways. The students who help Mrs. Leppien usually ask but it depends on their attendance and if their overall behavior in school is good. The Community Ed. assistants were chosen by qualifications and abilities, they also need a recommendation from a teacher. So you see they did stop talking about it and did a good job finishing their work. 187 Health Glab Members Explore y E Bridal Registry Gifts Frankenmuth, MI Exctlle.nl Collection o crysta and stemware.
