There have been a great many changes and yet perhaps the peo- ple haven't changed all that much. Gone are the bouf- fant hair style of the 60's, the white socks of the 50's. and the long skirts of the 40's. Now the styles are the girls' hair done in perms, and now we rip our sweatshirts before we come to school. School itself has changed. Comput- ers and consumer education are now in the curriculum. We have more choices of subjects than we did years ago. As much as the hands of time have progressed, many things stay the same. There are still the freshmen prob- lems of getting used to high school life and the senior problems of looking past the graduation day and what will become of them after that. There is still the boy-girl mystery and the football games and the cheerleaders and the rules students will have to follow. We like to look back to see what was and realize what the hands of time have done to the present. If we can. we like to look at the possibilities of 20 or 30 years in the future to guess what the hands of time will do by then. - — Introduction bring about some changes Top left.

Special Events II Homecoming bonfire was biggest ever Homecoming 1984 was shortened to four days because of Columbus Day. This however, did not shorten the rowdiness of Herd Day, Dress- up Day. Toga-Sunglasses-Hat Day. and the traditional Orange and Black Day. Between all the changes of clothes, classes were busy decorating floats and posters. Thursday, seniors went to McDonalds to take a break for breakfast. When noon arrived, seniors were let out to collect wood for the annual bonfire. Thursday night after the snake dance, students and fans met at the school for an assembly. Seniors were undefeated tug-of-war champs. The bonfire was ignited, along with some added effects of late July fireworks. Friday's game with the Ml. Morris Mounders was lost 19-0. This was the eighth year the Tigers lost a Homecoming game. Even though we lost the game the senior class was awarded the Spirit Stick. Saturday night the dance was held in the lower commons with Special Forces providing the music.

Homecoming — 5 ‘Spoon Kim’ an artistic success Spoon River Anthology was Byron's fall play present- ed Nov. 15 and 16 to less-1 ha n- capacity crowds. Based on po- ems by Edgar Lee Masters and adapted by Charles Aidman and Naomi Caryl Hirshhorn. the play revolved around peo- ple from Spoon River telling their stories from the grave. Rock Valley's Mary jo Thacka- berry directed the play. Stu- dent director, junior Heidi Byrd, thought the play went very well, considering the short amount of practice time and small size of the school. Reviews were favorable, call- ing the production most en- joyable. Top left, ken Hetzei and Hope Jeter mime the song fair Maiden and the Soldier. Top right.

The National Honor 'Society banquet was held on March 25,1985. as 26 new members were inducted into the Byron chapter of this national organization. Presi- dent Jeff Mollway welcomed everyone to the banquet after a delicious dinner and then introduced the induc- tees. They were presented with pins and certificates, and they also lit individual candles. This year's banquet was a little different than those of previous years. Mrs. Cleo Boger was not in atten- dance as an adviser but as an honored guest. She was given a plaque in appreciation of her years of dedica- tion as 10 years as adviser. Advisers this year were Rick Doll and James Nauman. 18 — NHS honored former adviser Boger at banquet I.

NHS Banquet — 19 'West Side Story' involved 125 students This year's spring musical West Side Story is based on the story of Romeo and Juliet. It was modernized by bringing it to the slum area of New York where two rival groups, the Jets and the Sharks, tried to protect their territories. Two star-crossed lovers, one from each group, try desperately to be together without adding any conflicts, but their happiness ends in fate. This was performed by 43 cast members, 75 crew workers, and 8 orchestra members all from Byron High School. Performances were April 25 to 29, Friday and Satur- day nights being sold out. The production was headed by first-year director Kathy Janicke.

All through high school students are praised for their performances in drama, music, schoolwork. sports and clubs. What about the students who work? Some stu- dents at Byron High school give up Friday night games and parties. Why? Because they want to earn money. They may earn money for a car. a college education, or just plain fun. Many students both work and participate in extra-curricular activities. In some cases alia student will do is go to school and then to work. Byron students who work should be acknowledged for the hard work they put into gaining a life exper- ience. Working — 31 Byron academics give Through the years at Byron High, students have been given the chance to surpass their own abili- ties in academics. This is due to the equipment students are able to use and operate. Whether it be a compass, computer, deep fat fryer, or draft- ing table, students show pride in using and taking care of their equipment. The reflection is shown from the grades students receive in respecting their care in academics, respect for the faculty, and the accomplishment of doing their own work. With all the areas of study and growing opportu- nities, students have an exposed educational background. Not only does this help a student through high school, but the rest of his life. 33 — Academics students chances to excel 1) Jarrett Johnson is astounded by what he sees in the magazine while he studies in the li- brary. 2) Jackie Taylor (alias Betty Crocker) whips up something special in Home Economics. 3) Kevin Sugden is discouraged that his physics answers don’t match the person behind him. 4) Jolene Jackson and David Frew do a micro- scope lab during Biology I. 5) The Advanced Math class shows how they combine academics with fun in the class- room. 6) Crystal Stukenberg files away her title card in the school library. 7) Heidi Byrd.

This year's team had 21 mem- bers, 7 varsity boys, 14 JV boys, and 6 girls. The teams competed in a total of 14 meets, all placing second in conference. The boys' captain was Ken Diehl and Gina Engelbrecht was the girls' cap- tain. A few highlights of the sea- son were the second place in the Forres ton Invitational, a second place trophy from the 7-Man Race in Oregon, and the biggest highlight of the season was when David Beauchem represented Byron down state and placed third.

Those were offensive end. Steve Howlett-, line- backer, Rick Westendorfi and of- fensive runningback. Will Love. These players along with the rest of the team showed great matur- ity during the '84 season. These young men overcame the adversi- ty of playing different positions without hesitation. The team in some cases had to substitute play- ers due to injuries. The players throughout the season never quit or gave up. The team shared an experience of losing a dear friend when junior end Craig Alexander passed away. Through all the adversity the Ti- gers encountered, the team both physically and mentally matured. During the banquet on Novem- ber 13, 1984, these seniors were recognized for their accomplish- ments! Chris Gambia, Howlett, and Westendorf were chosen as the captains for the season. Howlett received the Most Valuable award and Chuck Jones was given the Most Improved. According to Coach Stine, the Tigers put forth much work and effort which made his coaching all the more worthwhile. 1 1) John Campbell passes the football, while Steve Howlett anticipates his next position. 2) Brett Snodgrass tears down the field for his six-point touchdown. 3) Jim Getzelman attempts to go for a touchdown during the Stillman Valley game. 4) Coach Stine introduces senior football player Greg Rohr at a pep assembly. 38 — Football adversity, showed maturity 1) Captain Will Love addresses a crowd at the Homecoming bon- fire. 2) The Tigers huddle with pride in the lower commons. 3) Will Love and John Campbell run an offensive play. 4) Rick Westendorf runs through the 1984 Homecoming banner. 5) (Front row) Manager R.

The team finished with a 21-4-3 overall record and shared the Mid-Northern Conference title with Polo. This was the second consecutive year that a Byron team was at the top of the conference. The varsity squad was in two tournaments during the season. The first was held at Galena High School where the team placed third. The second was held at Harlem High School. This was the first year that Bryon was invited to this tourney and they gained valuable experience from the tough competition. Byron’s coach. Jan Newhausen, felt that this year's team was much fun to coach and be around because of the girls' good attitudes and because everyone got along well. The team claimed the regional title with their expertise and precision. They entered the sectional tournament, but then lost a close first-round match. Led by captains Lisa Shank and Jodi Bracken, the team had an enjoyable season. Lisa Dzielak, Lisa Shank, and Jodi Bracken were named unanimously to the All-Conference team. Shank was voted most inspirational. Kim Asher was voted most im- proved. Varsity Volleyball — 41 F-S gridd worked hard This year victories did not come the way of the Fresh-Soph Cubs as much as they wanted. They worked and they struggled but their efforts many times were not rewarded with wins. The Cubs were led on offense by the run- ning of Rich Capes, the passing of Jeff Bracken, the pass receiving of Russ Dahlgren, and the blocking of Tim Green and Rich Andreen. Defensively, the leading tackiers were Rich An- dreen, Rich Capes, Eric Carl- son, Jeff Bracken, Brett Rich- ardson, and Jarrett Johnson. Captains for this year s team were Rich Capes and Rich An- dreen. Fresh-Soph Boys' Football Record 1-8 Bryon 10 Lena- Winslow 14 Bryon 20 Burl.

Kelly Dowd gives that Kelly look. wanted to be known for themselves This year's seniors were a combination of several personalities and characters. Throughout the year the seniors were able to gain more friendships and under- standings of one another through all the work they did. There were the times when there would be disputes, but the maturity each individual projected was what prevented the seniors from growing apart. Overall, the seniors felt that they had a hard time convincing other people that they were a decent group, even though the seniors performed well academically, athletically, and socially. Still the seniors will remember feeling shafted” their last five years of high school. People will re- member, though, that they were a class of hard workers and goal striving stu- dents who only wanted to be known for themselves — the class of 1985. 1. Jeff Mollway.

SO — Seniors Class of ’85 steps from the shadow CHRIS GAMBLA President JODI BRACKEN Vice-President NANCY ERISON Secretary BECKY SVARTOIEN Treasurer RANDY ALEXANDER DAVID ANDERSON KIM ASHER LIZ BAKER JERRY BARTON This year's graduating class is the first class to at- tend Byron's new high school all four years. Through these four years the class has always remained close. Everyone has put in his share to make class projects a success. In athletics there was always another class- mate cheering for the contender. Our academic rank- ings were individually close, but that didn’t stop any student from doing his utmost. As seniors we look back and remember the changes as we grew into young adults. We were lucky in our freshman year since the building was as new to them as to us. and therefore they didn't bother us that much. Our sophomore year went smoothly as we received our CPR cards and dri- vers' licenses. As juniors we demolished the seniors' outhouse they were saving for the Homecoming bon- fire. In our senior year we applied to colleges and took trips to McDonald's and elsewhere.” We finally won the Spirit Stick and emerged from the shadow of the previous graduating class.

Seniors — SI Juniors’ key word was 'individualism’ Mike Hogan President Lonnie Maurer Vice-President Bridget Musso Jeff Varilek Secretary Treasurer The junior class is having a good year. We haven't all been together since grade school, but many of us share some good memories from Mary Morgan Elementary School, such as King-of-the-Mountain-Top-of-the- World to the troublesome and fun years of junior high school. We got a lot of guff from the seniors in our first year in high school, but we survived. Our sophomore year was hectic with required courses, but in our junior year we are opening up and being ourselves again. The key word for us is individualism.

Alexander 1968-1984 When someone dose dies You must forget all the sorrow and lies. Remember all the good times When he gave of himself for others. Support his parents and brother. In this time of sorrow And then go on to tomorrow. I know people must feel hollow. But he wouldn’t want us to cry. He loved life and embraced it. Be thankful for the times when He was with us. Support each other in this time of sorrow Then go on to tomorrow. — Lonnie Mauer Class of 1986 Class of '87 pulled together Cindy Schabacker Royal Dawson Rodney Gile Katy Morrison President Vice President Secretary Treasurer The class of 1987 has always been a dose and caring class.

We are not a very sports orient- ed group but we can kick up our heels occassionally. We do have our share of scholars and achievers, but some of us have a knack for getting into trouble too much Jim Kohler Teri Sauer Treasurer Secretary because of what we say and what we do—especially the guys. The girls of the class tend to be shy and act a bit older than they are. It will be interesting to assess us three years from now when we are seniors to see what changes have taken place.

Ads — III The time has come when the 1985 By-Hi has come to an end. To briefly recap the year, we will remember several happenings. There was the rowdiness of Homecoming week and sharing the loss of Craig Alexander. There were the victories the athletes shared. The volleyball team shared an all-conference win with Polo. The Lady Tigers almost made it to the basketball Supersectionals. Chris Head received both the M. V.P. and the M.I.P. in basketball. The fresh-soph boys’ basketball team won the conference title with a record of 14-0. Kevin Sugden was the first B.H.S. state champion in wrestling ever. David Beauchem led the track squad to a third-place finish in state competition. This was the first year a girls’ softball team was put in the athletic curriculum. Although. Byron had a successful year in athletics, they also did well in other areas. The Academic Bowl team placed 1st in Mid-Northern competition. The Drama Club saw the musical. Cats. John Chernik was the Trivial champion sponseredby the Library Media Center. Finally, the class of 1985 was the first to attend all four years and graduate in the new school. We'd like to thank our adviser Michael Jerding and Jos ten's yearbook repre sentative Howard Dusek for all the help, patience, and ideas they put in the Bi-h i in making it a fun year. We thank our staff for the work and dedication. Person Studios for their photography, and Steve Howlett for his artwork. We would als like to thank the faculty members who took the time to give us needed informe tion. We owe a great deal of thanks to our advertisers. We would not be able U put a book together without your help. Many thanks to all of you. Let the hands of time keep moving. May everyone go forth with new ideas an ambitions to make tomorrow's time even better.
