The light shone on the many faces which surround us every day-the face of a star athlete, of a class leader, or of the per- son sitting next to you in history Class. There was a role for everyone. Each student could take part in his or her own way. Regardless of wheth- er it was a leading role or a bit part, all worked to- gether to bring recognition to CH3. With yet another Mid-Southern Conference football ti- tle and a clean sweep of the basketball holiday tour- neys, the Pirates were boosted higher and higher. The first llMayflower 10,000, the fall drama production, and Homecoming week were also successful events. Strength was gained throughout the year, and each accomplishment brightened the SPOTLIGHT! REVERTING BACK to her childhood, Kathy Barton is caught up a tree. KAREN IAMES and Liz Steele occupy a few hours of their free time with horse- back riding.

Mr. Bridgewater easily won his age division. Students Display a Multitude 0f Talents As each student settled into his or her iiplace, the school year be- gan to take form. It began smoothly, but was interrupted by the never-to-be-forgotten mo- ments of everyday life. Along with the social life at CHS, students performed academically, with many doing outstanding work. Due to his exceptional scores on the P.S.A.T. and S.A.T., Tony Montgomery qualified as a National Merit Scholarship Semi-fi- nalist. The Math IV class had an unusually high enrollment, while physics had to be scheduled for two periods because of the large student demand. With the variety of classes, sports, and extracurricular activi- ties available, each student had the opportunity to display his or her abilities. Students showed a multitude of talents in 1981, and CH5 profited greatly from them all. N0, IT'S NOT a witch doctor. It's only student actor Donnie Bettler after his make-up session.

Fall Activities Bring Victories ' Getting back into the swing of things was led by the enthusiastic seniors, as they registered for their final year of school. Since 1980 was the second year for arena scheduling, registra- tion went smoothly. Another fall success was the yearbook autograph party. Eager students rushed to the doors of the cafeteria to be first in line to receive their 1980 PIRATE LOG. After everyone got back into the iiold grind of school, extra-curricular activities became a big part in the lives of many students. The football team won its fourth straight M.S.C. ti- tle; the cross country team placed second in the conference; and the volleyball team, cheered on by some senior guys known as iiBuc Alley, had its best record since 1976.

Instead of having a seIf-serve pump where ketchup was of- ten wasted, rations of ketchup in little cups were issued to students with their lunch. Just when workers thought they had been successful, trays of Ieft-over food and dirty dishes remained on the tables after lunch, proving that the food abusers had struck again.

Responsibility. . .The xWord 0f the t Year' Responsibility. . . .That was Mr. Roth's llword of the year at his opening day speech. The students soon found out what he meant, as he introduced a new atten- dance policy and organized an evening open house to show off the completed remodeling of the school. The fall and winter sports teams were responsible for some of the best seasons in years, and CH5 became the only school ever to sweep all the Holiday Tourneys, as both the girls and boys varsity teams, the JV, and the freshmen were all victorious. Karen James was also named queen of the varsity tourney. The extra curicular committe was credited with the organization of club days, giving groups a chance '9 RHONDA HEDGE gets in a comfortable position to sign yearbooks at the autograph party.

At Christmas, money and canned goods were donated for needy families as ad- mission to the Student Council program, Snow White and the Seven Elves. After Christmas vacation, students were held accountable for their academic performance. Exam time arrived in mid-January, bringing the semester to a close.

Well, Mrs. Jackson's drama class had an opportunity to answer this question after doing a five-week unit on ttclown- ing. The students busily started developing their charac- ters. They chose nicknames and constructed cos- tumes, which sometimes meant trips to Caufield's Novelty Shop for supplies. Charlie Ashton, a retired professional clown, visited the class to discuss as- pects of clowning and to demonstrate techniques of make-up application. After weeks of preparation, the clowns were ready! They made their debut in the homecoming parade through town and then later in a skit at the pep session. The Clowns delighted not only the student body, but everyone they came in contact with, proving that ttEveryone loves a clown!

The prom, homecoming, school plays. The part of high school that shapes at students personality and developes the type of person he or she will later be. Neat and preppy was the fashion- able look for both girls and guys at CHS, as they kept with the tailorlook. They wore oxford Cloths, pleated trousers, and bag- gy overalls. The girls added their own special touches with cardi- gans, kilts, argyles, and loafers. Plush and soft described the femi- nine sweaters the girls appeared in, as they went back to the silky and sexy style. The subtle look was accented by a detailed round of lace at the neck, gently squared off shoulders, with rib- The Classy Classics bons and bows in the hair. The motion picture URBAN COWBOY had a big influence on CHS. As students parked in the xicampus corral, they were seen wearing Levis, western shirts, boots, and the ever popular cow- boy hats with colorful feather bands. These fashions returned from the ones seen in the 340's and early tSO's. The student body seemed to have gone back to Class in the classics. i r' : -,':-' .x. 3 vi, a 1a, a WALLY NAPIER and Linda Rehm make plans for a night on the town, as he shows off his preppy look and Linda sports a classic wool skirt and blazer.

TWO POPULAR styles of the 80's are the soft look and bright clear colors. SCOTT GRAY and Jamie Rhodes relax, giving the photographer a chance to show the more dressy casual look. Another One Bites the Dust' Becomes As the rain steadily poured on the playing field prior to the Homecoming game with South Dearborn, itAnother One Bites the Dust became iiAnother One Bites the Mud. The visiting Knights fell as easily as the rain and the Pirates romped to a 22-8 win. Homecoming '80 got off to a spirited start as classes participat- ed in the week's activities. The parade through town, the decora- tion of the hallways, and the iidecking out in various outfits for dress-up days were just a few. After weeks of endless prepara- tion, the night of the big game fi- nally arrived. As the field lights came on and the first handful of people sat down in the stadium, the rain ended, leaving two rain- bows arched over the playing field. Since the field was too muddy to accomodate the crowning ceremony, the queen court was escorted to the track, and everyone intently listened as Joann Schafer was named the 1980 Homecoming Queen. After the game, the Student Council sponsored the First Annu- al Pirate Pizza Pigout and Home- coming Jam in the cafeteria, with area band iiTrouble providing the entertainment. As the last iipizza-pigger bit the dust, Homecoming '80 ended. Another One Bites the PATIENTLY AWAITING the start of the 1980 Homecoming parade is Vickie Buckner in the Sil- ver Goose.

MONICA HARRELL receives congratulations from her escort lohn McCaskill, as she is named Basketball Queen. The odds-that was what the CH5 queen candidates were up against. But three senior girls beat those odds to reign as 1980-81 queens First came Football Homecoming. Muddy fields forced the court to detour, and it was a wind-blown Jo Schafer who was crowned as Football Homecoming Queen. December brought the Holiday Tourney. CHS had only won the title twice, but Karen James was the 8third time charm, as she became the tourney queen. Friday the 13th-a bad day for many people. For the 1981 Bas- ketball Homecoming Queen, however, it turned out lucky. Amidst a Valentine setting, Moni- ca Harrell was 8quowned queen, to quote announcer Mike Wise.

Was it his dim-witted wife, or was it one of his devoted mistresses? Or could it have been one of the others visiting the Angakatells for the weekend? Confusing? Well, this was the plot of the fall drama production, uThe Hollow, an Agatha Christie murder mystery. l llThe Hollow was presented on December 11, 12, and 13 after many llminor difficulties. The set was not completely finished until the night before the play; the cast had only five weeks to pre- pare for the performances; and none of the practices prior to dress rehearsal had 10090 atten- dance. In spite of all the difficulties, the cast pulled it off with lots of help from the backstage crew in makeup application and costum- ing. Many of the ideas used were those of David VanPelt, Laura Bowers, Karen Lutz, Becky Meals, and Steve Tucker, who had at- tended a five day drama work- shop at Ball State. They brought back many suggestions to im- prove the CH5 drama depart- ment, and llThe Hollow proved their new ideas successful. 20 CAST AND CREW OF THE HOLLOW: Richard Bettler, lohn Sheehan, Scott Osborne.

To see the 1981 Drama production, CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN. With only one month to get ready, the cast found this lighthearted comedy about a family of twelve children quite a challenge to present. Cheaper by the Dozen' There was no challenge in finding direc- tors, though. This play had not one, but three directors. Mrs. Sandy Bowen came out of drama-related retirement to lend a hand to Ms. Karen Hunter in supervis- ing the cast. Sharing the duties was Da- vid Streets, Student Director. Other than a few problems, such as Donnie Bettler falling into the orchestra pit on opening night and ttRags Lutz turning in anger on Ty Stover, the play was a success.

The TV season was late getting started because of an actors' strike, but once it did begin JR. Ewing dominated the tube once more, as the season began with the famous ttWho shot J.R.? and ended with ttWho did J.R. shoot? hDallas started a new trend of evening soaps, giving us xtFlamingo Road and itDynasty. Other popular new shows were tiHill Street Blues and ttBosom Buddies. Music made a switch. Rock-n-roll was still here to stay, with ACtDC hBack in Black, uJudas Priest, REO ttHigh Infidelity, and the late John Lennon's tiDouble Phantasy. But country and west- ern came to the forefront as America's favorite. WAMZ was Kentuckiana's number one radio station, and stars like Kenny Rog- ers and Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Barbara Mandrell, and Hank Williams, Jr. were at the top of the cowboy craze. SUPERSTAR ISIAH THOMAS leads the Hoosiers of LU. to the N.C.A.A. championship. MARY TYLER MOORE is shown in a scene from academy award winner Ordinary People. IUDAS PRIEST was a big rock group of the year. WHO SHOT J.R.? TV fans around the world were kept in sus- pense for months. tarry Hagman stars as LR. Ewing. THE DEATH of Dallas star Jim Davis Uoclo saddened the cast of the show and millions of viewers. SUPREME STAR of country music, Willie Nelson, also got into movies with Honeysuckle Rose. 1 24 Sports dominated everyday life. For every season there was a sport. With summer and fall was baseball, and the Philadelphia Phillies, led by Tug McGraw, cap- tured the 1980 World Series. Fall and winter brought football and the Super Bowl XV winners, the Oakland Raiders. Winter and spring had basketball, and Indiana LOVES basketball. In 1981, basket- ball loved Indiana, as the I.U. Hoosiers won the NCAA. In pro- fessional basketball, the Boston Celtics walked away with the NBA title. With the end of spring came Memorial Day and the Indianapolis 500, but a conflict came to the Indy. Though Bobby Unser crossed the finish line first, he had violated a racing rule, so Mario Andretti was declared win- ner. Movies were still the most popu- lar form of weekend entertain- ment. Some of the best liked were 9 to 5, Hazz Singer, and ttExcaliber. Goldie Hawn made a comeback with box office hits, ttPrivate Benjamin and hSeems Like Old Times, while ttStar Wars had its sequel, hThe Em- pire Strikes Back. The movie year ended, as always, at the Academy Awards. Sissy Spacek was voted best actress for hCoal Miner's Daughter, while Robert DeNiro was best actor for ttRag- ing Bull. The best picture of the year was Robert Redford's direc- torial premiere ttOrdinary Peo- ple. AROUND THE WORLD . . .

Prom Couples iLove the Worlci Away' iiCelebrate good times, c'mon! As the band iiThe Fantastics bellowed out the familar pop rock song, the students of CHS seemed to take their advice as they celebrated before, during, and after the 1981 junior-senior prom held at the Cry- stal Ballroom in the Brown Education Center in Louisville. The evening started off for most cou- ples with dining at one of Kentuckiana's finer restaurants. The top of the Tower and Victoria Station were two popular choices for the evening agenda. After over-indulging in the vast variety of deli- cacies, it was off to the prom! After arriving, there was little time to re- lax. Signing prom booklets, taking pic- tures of friends, and boogying to the beat occupied every moment. After the clock struck twelve and the prom court was introduced, Carol Aguirre, junior class reporter, presented the 1981 royal- ty. Cindy Huckaby and Randall xiChuck were crowned queen and king. Then it was time for every one to go their separate ways to iicelebrate var- ious post-prom activities. After catching a few winks of sleep, couples were off to Clifty Falls, Kings Island, or a place alone together to iiLove the World Away. v- r i .1911 viii i ifyi 35, f l m 9 :9 99M! we ; I .9 g , t .1 g ,r r a t K f!

Commencement ttThis is it! Graduation had become a reality. The Class of '81 had finally started on their hreflections of tomorrow. On Sunday, May 31, the weather was sup- posed to be cloudless and rainless. But some- one forgot to tell Mother Nature, and Com- mencement had to be moved from the football field to the boys' gym. In the 90th Commencement to be held at Charlestown High School, there were 155 graduates. The past several years, those stu- dents lacking a few credits had been allowed to walk through with the rest of the class, but in 1981 everyone who went through the ceremony actually received a diploma. As the speeches were given, the awards pre- sented, and the tassels turned, the graduates left CHS as a group together for probably the last time.

These were a few of the fun-filled activities at the beginning of the school year that made the Class of '81 realize that graduation was lurking around the corner and that good-byes might soon mean forever. After the realization struck, the seniors soon got plans underway for their final year of high school. Folling the election of class officers, the Class was promptly informed that they had only approximately $15.00 to their account after last year's prom ex- penses, so they busily worked on fund raising activities for SE N I O R S the upcoming year. The first big activity was football homecoming, where the seniors dominated once again and came out victorious during spirit week for the sixth time since their freshman year. But during sectional week an epidemic of iiSenioritis hit the class, causing them to finish second. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Dina Hall tPresJ.

They planned an orga- nized parade through town, a trip to see a movie, and an awards presentation. Finally, the time had come. The event the seniors had all been working toward, gradu- ation, had arrived. As they stood proudly in line to receive their diplomas, memories of the a past and hopes of the future rummaged 1 through their minds. As they walked off the field to go their separate ways, they were sad i that this chapter of their lives was closed but were eagerly looking forward to new adven- tures.

They were the last class to remember Mr. Roth when he was a iifreshman. The biggest first and last was saved until the end. As their final year drew to a close, the Class of 1981 shared the last day of school and the first day of their future at graduation.

Pictured with Michael are Mr. 81 Mrs. Denny Lutz and daughters Melissa and Karen. After deciding to stay for a year in the United States and being guaranteed a home by YFU IYouth for Understanding, I feel very lucky to have been placed in Charlestown with my family here, the Lutzes, who I really like and who immediately made me feel at home. My visit started out with playing football. Because I had played soccer, I became the kicker and a reserve flanker. This was an inter- esting experience and I was amazed at how high local sports are ranked in people's entertain- ment. I liked football a lot, al- though I had never seen it before I came to the U.S., and I watched most of the pro games on TV. In the beginning, school started out hard because everything was strange for me and I didn't know anybody. I had a lot of trouble talking and understanding English, but after a few weeks school started to get familiar and I got to know a lot of people. The work in my school periods seemed so easy when I compared it to the hard, uninteresting work in Ger- many. My subjects here were English, US. history, Drafting III, yearbook, Typing I, and Algebra II. I really enjoyed the photogra- phy work in yearbook and the architectural drafting, in which I plan to major at the university, but the rest of the classes were kind of boring for me. I was a member of the National Honor Society and the French Club. After football season I got involved in watching CHS basket-' ball and enjoyed the popularity of the sport and the Indiana basket. ball hysteria. I became active again by running track, whichI hated. Although I have to repeat this school year because I couldn't take the subjects I would have in Germany, I don't feel sorry.; When you read this, I will, un-' fortunately, be back in Ger- many, after an outstanding ex- perience in Charlestown; Indiana.

Tim and Ernie were close friends and shared a lot of ac- tivities inside and outside of school. They were members of the Class of '82 at Charlestown High School, where they both had played on the basebail team for two years. The loss of Ernie and Tim was very hard to ac- cept, but the joy and special friendships they brought into our lives have made a lasting im- pression in our hearts and minds. 60 Brian Adams Marcy Amburgey Donna Baker Lisa Baker Tami Baker Stephanie Bangs Samatha Barnes Barbara Barnett Brian Bates Keith Bolen Eddie Bottoroff Bill Bowen Ronnie Bowyer Bobbie lo Braswell Wendy Bratcher Susan Breeden Kenny Briggs Tony Brooks Kirk Brown Dana Bryant Gina Burke Stewart Bush Brice Bushau Dawn Bussey Darren Butler Laurie Byers Mel Carpenter Brian Case Herbie Chester Tim Clapp Jerry Cochran Joey Colvin Tim Copeland Amy Couch Becky Cox Tammy Cox Tammy Coy Marcus Crace Jenni Crase Patrick Crawford Becky Curry Tina Curry Eddie Davidson Edna Davidson Greg Davidson Troy Davis Patty Day Chris Dean Glenn Decker Terry DeVary Donna Diem Lisa Dillman Tina Disponett Kristie Duncan Dennis Eldridge Sophomores Capture ;.

Of all the high school classes at CHS, the sophomores seemed to be the closest, and they accepted challenges with enthusiasm. The sophomores worked well at almost everything they did and spread spirit through the hallways with their decorations for both the girls and the boys basketball sectional and regional spirit weeks. Their enthusiasm carried the class through to win first place. The Class of '83 felt a strong sense of unity, al- though in most of their minds no one thing stands out in creating this togetherness.

DOING RESEARCH for a report, laurie Byers makes use of the media center. Academics . . . an education, the backbone of our society. Many CHS students tried hard to make good grades in order to give themselves an opportune position in life. The time is now for stu- dents to get a head start on the ever changing future, and most CHS students are accepting that Challenge. Academics At the beginning of the school year the only change in the office staff was the addition of Violet Povey, who was hired as the new attendance and guidance secre- tary. Later, bigger changes came, when Mr. John Wood, who had been Assistant Principal for more than three years, made a move to the middle school to fill a similar position there. After some formalities, it was announced in March that Mr. Dale Crafton had become the new Assistant Princi- pal at CHS. Mrs. Clyda Lutz, who had completed all the courses required for a counseling license, took over the open job in guidance. Mr. Roth, along with taking care of the usual business, met weekly with the attendance committee, which de- cided the fate of students who had missed ten to fifteen days per semester. The committee, which was chaired by Mr. Larry Dean, was a part of the Greater Clark County School attendance policy and usually removed students from class with a WF after thay had missed fif- teen days. PAUSING FROM his duties, Principal Ed Roth smiles for the photographer. MRS. NANCYE IO LISANBY, Secretary-Treasurer, flips through the pages of an old PIRATE lOG. AT MID-YEAR, Mrs. Clyda Lutz traded her duties as a PE teacher to become a Guidance Counselor. The administration was also responsible for making other decisions, some of which were unpopular with the stu- dents. One example was the decision to cancel Spring Day, which had been a CHS tradition since 1974. In the spring, Mr. Roth and all Greater Clark School ad- ministrators faced the problem of government budget cuts to education. These monetary problems, which faced schools all over the country, meant the possible cutting of both teachers and programs for 1981-82. IN MlD-MARCH, Mr. Dale Crafton took over the position of l Assistant Principal.

COMPARING THE ticker tape with the WALL STREET JOURNAL is Mike Hall iBusiness Law and General Business teacherJ MRS. ALICE MATTHEWS, Business Teacher and In- tensive Office Lab Advisor, answers the phone in Wishing to further their knowl- edge of business, many students selected courses from the busi- ness education department. There was a wide variety of traditional courses to choose from, including typing, shorthand, general busi- ness, and clerical practice. For the more serious student, there were business law and accounting. But for the career minded senior, intensive office lab was a great opportunity to step forth in on- the-job training. Students could specialize in certain areas of busi- ness, and the second semester students were placed in actual jobs. Juniors and Seniors who wanted more participation in business re- lated activities could join the O.E.A., sponsored by Mrs. Alice Matthews and Mrs. Roxie Minns. One opportunity for club mem- bers was the O.E.A. regional con- test, where juniors Roxie Black- burn and Tammy Lohman took first and second place, respective- ly, in Typing I. The O.E.A. also had money-making projects, such as car washes and candy sales, to support their social activities. Students Pursue Business Careers IR.

The vocational Classes at CHS train the students of today for their professions of tomorrow. Among the courses offered, welding was the newest. Students also received valuable training for future careers in other Industrial Arts classes, such as drafting, machine woods, and metal shop. Two of the more popular classes were Auto Power Mechanics and Vocational Auto Mechanics, a three hour ad- vanced course offered to juniors and seniors. Under the supervi- sion of Mr. Will Dozier, class members serviced cars of stu- dents and teachers to get on-the- job training. In the Home Economics depart- ment, Where was more going on than cooking and sewing, ac- cording to Miss Dyer. The stu- dents in grades 9-12 took a look at reality, studying Consumer Edu- cation and lnter-Personal Rela- tions. In the advanced course of- fered to grades 11-12, studies were focused on housing and home management. Instead of making clothing, the students made wedding scrapbooks plan- ning their own weddings. The class consisted mostly of girls but a few guys took on the challenge to gain some practical experience. Those interested could extend their Home Ec. skills to the Future Home- makers Organization, sponsored by Miss Dyer. The homemakers stayed busy by taking candy to hospitalized children, giving a Christmas party for orphans, and performing other helpful social activities. The members also took a trip to Green-ups to learn about formal wear.

Mr. Lou Kleopfer, chairman of the PE, health, and first aid depart- ments had the responsibility of keeping his staff in line. Matters were not made any easier when at mid-year Mrs. Lutz moved to the guidance department and the PE teachers became all males, with Mr. Collins coming over from the middle school to join lohn Mastin and Bill Dunn. Al- though Mrs. Lutz continued to help with the practical side of the course, Mr. Kleopfer inherited her two advanced first aid classes in addition to his own duties in teaching health. Adjustments were also necessary in the Special Education depart- ment, with three new teachers and with students bused to CH3.

Although all students had to pass one year of courses in each area, the electives offered were geared for the col- lege bound student. Classes such as geometry, Aigebra II, Math IV, computer science, ad- vanced life science, physics, and chemistry were not meant for ev- eryone. Despite the fact that physics had one of its largest en- rollments ever at CH3 and that a new science research class was begun, enrollment in the math and science electives was low. The math department did offer a computer club for the students interested in this area. Sponsored by Mr. Tom Narron, the twenty member club held a Christmas pizza and computer game party as its major activity. DR. IEKYLI. and Mr. Hyde perform massive sur- gery on their colleague, Fang.

Imagine bullfights, roadside cafes, or living the life of a prominent archaeologist. Is this a world of dreams, or is it one of the for- eign language classes at CHS? With a choice of Spanish, French, or Latin, it was much easier and cheaper, too, to explore foreign customs without ever leaving town. For those really interested in studying a foreign culture, the lan- guage clubs offered additional ex- periences outside the classroom. They also provided entertainment from the academic side of the language. The Spanish Club took trips to Ski Starlite and CHI CHI's, a Mexican restaurant in Louisville, while the French Club held their banquet at the Old House and went to Me- morial Auditorium to view the play, iiThe Doctor in Spite of Himself. The Latin Club kept busy by participating in a iipro- gressive dinner and with a iihobo party. Though travelling is more exciting, foreign language students at CHS found that a person does not have to travel to experience a foreign culture. ; Offers a Worl '1; Inau- iJ -ao w w. d of Dreams SPANISH CLUB: Kim Wisman, Steve Goode, Bruce Osborne, loretla Wall, Kelly Rone.

No, it was only the Language Arts wing. During the course of the year, the recently remodeled E-wing went through a crumbling pro- cess.

All this produced the llUn- known E-Winger to print a pa- per offering those who traveled the wing rain caps, insurance poli- cies, and T-shirts proclaiming, ml hiked E-wing and survived! Maps were also offered to help guide people through the swamps and falling debris. Besides dodging obstacles in the hall, the English Department insti- tuted some changes in policy. Drama and speech became year long courses, and the juniors took traditional English classes, leaving only the seniors with phase- electives. The Drama Club survived in spite of a drop in active membership. They sponsored a children's workshop in June. Then, in Au- gust, five members went to Ball State University for a two week workshop.

Not for Mrs. Rhoten, Miss Ross, and Ms. Ryant. Their routines had many changes. Mrs. Rhoten spent most of her time tracking down the hshot dodgers. She had to make sure all students at CHS, the Charles- town Middle School, and New Washington had updated their im- munizations since 1976. But this wasn't nearly as easy as it sounds, and on February 13, those not in the process of being immunized were put out of school.

Art stu- dents learned calligraphy, com- mercial art, and house design, while in ceramics the students learned how to fire a kiln. At the end of the year, they even at- tempted to cast a bell. With the Art Horiors group in its second year, members were cho- sen in the fall instead of the spring.

With the band ttrookies outnumbering the veterans 31 to 25, practices were deadly serious. A flashy blue uniform was the first thing seen as the Pirates stepped off the sidelines, led by field commander Roberta Hensley. Hensley led the band onto fields from Jessamine County to Hancock County, but disappointing second places plagued the Pirates throughout most of the season. Finally, at the last contest of the year, the band showed its true colors by out-playing and out-marching everyone in their class. They brought home a very impressive and weIl-deserved first place for their efforts. After marching season, band members shed their uniforms and worked up music for concerts. With the loss of the seventh and eighth graders from their numbers, the students in the high school band had to work even harder. At Christmas the concert band and the select chorus combined their efforts to present a program. The chorus also prepared for contest and for other concerts. One of the highlights for the chorus was the eight- member ensemble, which went to district contest in Madison, only missing a first place by one point.

PAUL SINGLETON proudly rings his chimes. 90 -tion, the freeing of the hostages, They say that history repeats it- self, and this was proved true at CHS as the same old courses were taught by the same veteran teachers. But, with many news- worthy events occuring in 1980- 81, the social studies teachers also had current issues to discuss in their classes. The presidential elec- and the sewer explosion in Louis- ville were just a few of the more captivating topics. History also repeated itself with the National Honor Society hold- ing its annual Career Day. One change in the organization, how- ever, was that each grade had its own fund raising project as op- posed to one with total club par- ticipation. The proceeds from the money-making activities were used for scholarships given to seniors.

This was the reaction of the Student Council when they learned that their annually sponsored llBig Event would have to be cancelled due to the lack of participation and attendance in 1980. The Council, however, presented various other activities throughout the year. Among them were the carnantion sale on Valentines Day, all the spirit week contests, and an Al- fred Hitchcock film festival, which included two popular thrillers llThe Birds and llFamily Plot . The High-Q team had its disappointments, too. Beginning the year with high hopes of living up to the 1980 team's standards and advancing to the final playoffs, they had to adjust to a major change. For 1981 the system of advancement for winning teams was changed to be like that of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. When a team won, they moved into the next bracket and waited until the next round to play another successful opponent. The Pirates got off to a good start with an impressive victory over Nelson County in the first round, defeating them 260-100. The sec- ond game proved an abrupt ending for the team, however, as they were defeated by a strong Trinity team.

Each sport event was backed not only by spirited stu- dents, but by enthusiastic adults as well. Some fans seemed to have a preference of sports events, but many people got in- volved with all of the Pirate ac- tivities. Mid-Southern Conference Champs-Again? High expectations . . . That is what coach John Mastin had at the beginning of the 1980 football season. With twenty seniors and three straight Mid-Southern Con- ference titles to their advantage, how could they lose? It appeared that they might finally make the playoffs and maybe go 10-0 on the season. In the opening game against Paoli, no one was disappointed, as the Bucs won convincingly 36-12 to extend their streak of conference victories to 22. But the next game was a different story. The Pirates traveled to AAA Floyd Central. Although it was not a MSC con- test, play-off hopes hung on the outcome. But the Highlanders had , . other plans, as they beat the Bucs V .. 20-7. After bouncing back from the loss at Floyd Central, the Pirates got back on the track and pulled off conference victories over Scottsburg, Corydon, and Salem.

They decorated the school, held two pep rallies, and frequently out-yelled the student body. 106 tilt was very important for us to make our coaches proud and to reach the goals that we set to- gether, said four year varsity member Paula Wessel, and the girls basketball team did just that. In the summer, the Lady Bucs set their goals for the upcoming sea- son. The goals were to win the holiday tourney and sectional for the first time, and their dreams soon became reality. With all five starters being seniors with previous experience, the Pi- rates started off their season with a bang and went into the holiday tourney with a 5-5 record. In the first game, the girls clobbered Clarksville, and then went on to defeat Providence in the final round of the tourney. Then, down came the nets! Coal num- ber one had been reached. In January, it seemed as if the team had the uafter Christmas blues as they only won one game. But they soon recovered and started preparing for the Sil- ver Creek Sectional. Soon the time had arrived! After the crowds of CHS fans had filled the bleachers, the girls made their entrance and dazzled the specta- tors, defeating Borden in first round action. They then proceded to beat Clarksville to claim their first sectional title. The following weekend, the Lady Bucs traveled to New Albany for regional action. In spite of the fact that they were down by six- teen points, the girls made a great comeback and were defeat- ed by only two points by a strong Scottsburg team. Even though the girls were disappoint- ed at the loss, they had reached their goals . . . and were satisfied with their season.

They won the Silver Creek Holi- day Tourney and the Madison Sectional outright, finished second in the Seymour Regional, and tied for first place in the conference. They also had two players who frequently dazzled the other teams with their dunking ability. Not bad for a team that got off to a slow start.

W. -.........v...: Bucs Prove To Be a Tournament Team ' At the beginning of the season, the Bucs were handed two losses by Henryville and Jeffersonville, but they soon bounced back and won three out of four games to take an even 3-3 record into the Holiday Tourney. While at the tourney, the Bucs let their iitrue colors shine. They re- venged an earlier loss to Clarks- ville, defeating them 51-42 in the first game. The next night the Bucs were up against Providence, usually a very tough opponent. But as the song says, tiOnly the strong survive, and the Pirates came out as Holiday Tourney winners by a score of 73-66. After that, the Pirates had newly- found confidence in themselves and finished the regular season with a 13-7 record in what they considered a disappointing five- way tie for first place in the con- ference. Next on the agenda for Bill Dunn and Company was to win the Madison Sectional! Their victory was partially due to the spectacu- lar playing of Mark Heuser and John Jones. In the first game, the Bucs easily defeated Silver Creek. FRESHMEN BASKETBALL: Ronnie Martin tkneelingy Back: Jeff Phelps, leff isaac, Mike Clapp, Wally Napier, Bill Broughton, Kevin Christman.

This victory clinched the Pirates a share in a five-way tie for the t Mid-Southern Conference title. Then Southwestern got in on the action and were handed a hard fought loss by CHS. In the final game, the Pirates battled the host team, Madison, which had been picked by many newspapers to win the tournament. But the Bucs proved the newswriters wrong, as they fought to a 55-53 victory. Then it was on to Seymour! CHS took eight fan busses to the Sey- mour Regional to contribute to the biggest turnout of the year for the Pirates. In the first round, the Bucs revenged an earlier sea- son loss to Brownstown. They defeated the Braves 60-53 by using the old strategy of team- work. At 8:15 that night the Bucs gave it their best shot against a strong Floyd Central team. Down by 23, the Pirates fought back to within three, but the Highlanders were too much for them and came out ' winners 86-81.

This seemed to be an appropriate statement, as the girls were con- stantly plagued by injury, illness, and other difficulties resulting in a different squad almost every week. But first the background behind this story . . . In the preceding spring, the iireal varsity cheerleaders had been selected. They attended camp at Indiana University, re- ceived top honors in every com- petition, and were chosen to compete for grand champion honors. Led by Captain Lydia Strickland, the squad enthusiasti- cally practiced. When August ar- rived, they were ready for action. Then, about the middle of foot- ball season, difficulties arose. For- tunately, the JV cheerleaders had also attended camp and come back with many awards, because three JV cheerleaders were called upon to fill in whenever they were needed during football and basketball season. Meanwhile, the freshmen cheerleaders had problems due to suspension and lack of participa- tion. At mid-year, three new cheerleaders had to be selected. Despite complications, the girls took the good with the bad. The varsity and JV joined together to perform some of the best mounts ever at CHS, cheering the BUCS to victory. I . ., w u i 7i . I1 , !

In spite of the Bucs' weight short- age, which caused them to forfeit 18 points automatically in each meet, they compiled a winning record of 8-6-1. The team had two sectional champions, Ben Ives and John Southard, They both competed in the regional, with Southard com- ing in second in his class. Summing up the year, Coach Mastin said, til am very proud of the team. This is their third win- ning season, and that's not bad for a team that didn't fill its weight classes.

BEN IVES grins through the strain of working out during wrestling practice. The FCA started slowly, with few members and no sponsor. Finally, President Sean Campbell convinced two CHS alums, Cindi Webster and Brooks Evens, to act as spon- SOFS. The FCA again held the annual Powder Puff Football games, and they joined forces with the Jeff FCA to collect toys at Christmas. But by spring, interest in the club dwindled. The Booster Club also began slowly. Presi- dent Tracy Rhodes said that little interest was shown at the beginning of basketball season. But as the Bucs won more and more games, the club grew, reaching full force when CHS advanced to the Regional. The putters took to the green and finished with an expected losing season. Only Brad Risinger had a consistently good season, capturing the most valuable golfer award and making the AIl-Confer- ence team. After a disappointing finish of eighth of ten in the conference meet, the team bounced back to place ninth out of twenty-one teams in the sectional. For Coach Dale Crafton, who led the golfers to a 15-30 overall record, the sectional was the high point of the year.

Being a winning team means hard practice and serious attitudes, but these guys were anything but se- rious at practices. Runners could always be caught begging manag- ers to make up times and shorten their distances. But when the meets rolled around, their atti- tudes changed and they actually got serious. The Pirates were defi- nitely a iimeet team. Coach Lou Kleopfer was pleased with the teams' finish at the end of the season.

CHS i On January 23, 1981, Denny Lutz was killed in a work-related acci- dent at his place of business, the CR. Lutz 8: Son concrete com- pany, in Charlestown. Mr. Lutz was a 1957 alumnus of Charlestown High School and a graduate of North Carolina State University, where he played bas- ketball on a full grant-in-aid. He made many worthy contributions to the community of Charles- town, especially in the area of sports. Having two daughters, Karen and Melissa, he was interested in girls' athletics and became the assistant coach of girls' basketball at CHS from 1979 until the time of his death. As a tribute to Mr. Lutz, his wife Clyda set up a Denny Lutz Scholarship, to be awarded annually to one senior girl athlete. The loss of Denny Lutz is a great one, and he will be long remem- bered by those who knew and loved him. I AIl-Around Female Athletes Freshman ......................................................

located on Floyd Knobs, offered a lot of outdoor winter fun for Southern Indiana. WORKING IN THE CURRENTS of Blue River during their science field trip are Jenny Perry and Ray Sprinkle. . .- 35 4-. lg n-.. .M' nut - 1 I II a WINTER WITHOUT SNOW DAYS The second semester began with everyone hoping for snow days. But it was a cold, dry winter, and the snow days never did arrive. People tried to get back into the swing of things after Christmas break, and at sectional time things finally started jumping. The Lady Bucs started it off by winning their first sectional ever. Then the male Bucs won their sectional for the first time in five years and ad- vanced to the finals of the re- gional. All students were reward- ed by two half days off from school to celebrate, after ceremo- nies in the morning to honor each basketball team. MICHAEL HAAKE tries to fight his way past leff Wise to get into the darkroom to develop pictures. IOHN JONES shows his pretty legs to the crowd, while Tim Webb and Jim ledbetter look on. WORKING HARD on his second research paper in order to graduate is Mike Wise. Spring break arrived, and activities varied from just partying around town to going on week end trips to taking week-Iong vacations. For some students, the week was par- ticularly unforgettable, as they took a European tour through Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Liechten- stein. After vacation, spring was in full bloom, and sports teams got under- way again. The girls' and boys' track teams won the Pirate Relays with their combined scores, and that turned out to be the biggest accomplishment of the spring sport season. The Prom came along in May, and students were in a stir over what to wear and where to go to dinner. For many couples, the most impor- tant decision seemed to be where to go after the prom. t i K t eep Students Occupied KEVIN PIERCE INTENTLY works in threading a film for peer counseling class. GETTING READY to munch out during his lunch is Steve Coyne. GOVERNMENT TEACHER Gale Combs uses the overhead projector for notes.

ADJUSTING A SPOTLIHGT before a program in the auditorium is Chris Wehner. 156 The seniors began a new tradition by plan- ning an entire week devoted to honoring their class before they graduated. Working with Mr. Roth to plan the week was a com- mittee composed of Tona Montgomery, Pau- la Wessel, Paige Combs, and Angie Cavaness. The senior week activities included having freshmen carry the seniors' books, al- lowing seniors to be first in lunch line, and taking a day off from school either to visit Fort Knox or to shop and see a movie at Oxmoor. On the last day of senior week, an awards ceremony was held in the audito- rium. As the end of the school year arrived, stu- dents once again were faced with final ex- ams. The pressure was on for many students to raise their grades, after spring slump. JEFF GABBARD prepares his hat for storage, as he contemplates the events of the band season.

As Salutatorian Don Bettler said in his Com- mencement speech, itLife is like a game of euchre; it's not worth i playing unless you are willing to l gamble. As the seniors left CHS to make a new life, they all had l to become players in the world's game of chance. EXPERIMENTING WITH THE BACTERIA culture they collect at Blue River are 1 Jeff Gabbard and Nancy Crismore. Both the Advanced Life Science and Chemistry classes went on the science field trip in May.

As another school year has drawn to an end, the spotlight has dimmed and the curtain has fallen. During the 1980-81 year, YOU, the people of CHS, have made the memories that have gone into this book. But now the players have all gone home, and the SPOTLIGHT has been switched off for another year.
