The Rayders boasted a tough defense which held opponents under 14 points a game. The team ' s offense was not as fortunate as they faltered near the middle of the season and became fum- ble prone in many crucial situations. The Rayders finished the season with a 5-4 record, despite injuries to key players and some tough competition. 22 Sports ,- : 5T . Front row: S. Kelly, K. Bales, J. Buchanan, B. Ranger, J.

That ' s just what Mr. Pete Spieles and the cross country team did this year. They ran hundreds of miles, a lot of them on their own in the summer preparing for the meets they would later encounter. Practice makes perfect, and they were nearly so with Jeff Landon and Jay Swartwout leading the way. They ran over almost every- one, coming in first in the confer- ence, and fifth in the state. With only two seniors graduating, it looks as though Charlevoix ' s cross country team will remain high atop the conference standings for many years to come. Front row: B. Taylor, P. Kerr, A.

They went to the regional meet at Boyne Mountain and finished third overall. The team had a lot of young mem- bers, including several who should be the backbone of the squad in years to come.

They did a good job! Sports 29 As Rayders Pass By, Another One Bites The Dust 30 Sports Sports 31 It started out in August getting up at eight o ' clock to go to practice. We were trying to keep up with varsity and do th e drills right. Yes, it was girls ' basketball season again. From August to November, all we thought of was basketball. We came out with a good season, and were looking forward to the next year. Look out varsity, here we come!! Pictured at right are B. Revoir, C. Borths, S. Clark, M.E. Ciuk, R. Buchanan, M.

JV ' s Arc The Tops Cheer The Rayders To Victory 32 Sports We ' ve Got Spirit CHS is known for its school spirit, and we have some of the most outgoing cheer- leaders to help us. When the team is behind and the fans are down, you can always count on the cheer- leaders to be full of spirit. With them doing a flashlight routine, pep assemblies, and making Homecoming a success, they helped make this year out- standing. Sports 33 Rayders Have Winning Season But Lose In Districts P |J After beating some tough teams in regular season play, the varsity squad went flat in the opening game of district play. Their loss went to a team oriented Elk Ra- pids squad. The Elk Rapids team, which displayed team together- ness downed a mighty Rayder squad. The heart-breaking loss came as a shock to the young team, but with the exception of two sen- iors, Jeff Drury and Paul Hoffman, the players knew they would have another shot at district play next year.

Mr. Carey showed the squad how to play together and work as a team. It is expected that with such a good record, there will be some talented players to play on the var- sity squad next year.

The season went very well under the direction of Coach Mary Gengle. Victory came easy to the JV and varsity teams because they worked together to achieve V-I-CT-O-R-Y!

Ken Wojan also won first place in District, Regionals, and second at State to make him one of the best wrestlers in Charle- voix ' s history. The team voted to choose two outstand- ing wrestlers. They chose Scott Golovich as the most distinguished wrestler and Mike Steele as th e most improved wres- tler. Special thanks foes to the Coach Greg Bryant. 40 Sports Sports 41 m 42 Sports Sports 43 Rayders Start Season Early Practice during spring break in Florida The 1980-81 Rayder baseball sea- son started out with a trip to Flor- ida during spring break. That gave them a big head start. The Rayders came in second place in the Confer- ence. They also won two games in Districts but finally lost in the Finals to Rogers City. The Rayders are a very young team, boasting only one senior. Good luck in the coming season! 44 Sports Sports 45 Practice Proves A Success As spring rolled in, so did softball prac- tice. Each day we ' d be ready for a hard practice which paid off when we started with a 17-0 record. We will always remember the season by Miss Gengle ' s smile, riding the bus with the guys, going around asking if it ' s rain- ing yet, Teresa ' s homerun, Mel never running it out, little Rhonda pitching no hitters, melinda ' s laugh, Brenda getting mad at herself, Jonesy ' s singing, and, of course, Doretta ' s mouth. Each day the season came closer to an end, and we would have to say good-bye to our seniors. We also began to think about next year already and all the fun we ' ve had this year. ?! m JS . 46 Sports Sports 47 Boys Track Rates High In Conference Rayders score well The Charlevoix track team had a fine season this year winning a lot of meets and doing very well in the conference. Van Sloan had an excellent season run- ning in the 220 and 440 in near record breaking time. Other outstanding senior members in- clude: Jay Swartwout, Jeff Drury, and Joel Schnackenberg.

Working against nine other schools, they fought for a chance to gain the title of first or second. All four singles made it through to the finals which carried the Rayders to a victory. Finishing off the season with a little goofing around and a final record of 9-2, the Rayders were all primed for State Finals. Due to many pit stops, the trip to Kalamazoo was long, but the team maintained their good spirits. The Rayders were wiped out in the first round except for first and third doubles, who accumulat- ed Charlevoix ' s two points. Since eight playing seniors are departing, who knows what next year will bring?

They let the faculty know what the students want. President of the Student Council was Beth Carey, and Vice-President was Da- vid Buday.

They also participated in a Student Council exchange in which they met with Gaylord students and learned about each others ' student activi- ties. 64 Activities NHS Returns To CHS The National Honor Society, advised by Mr. Glen Taylor, is a club designed to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulate a desire to render service, promote leadership and de- velop character. This year the NHS helped put on a faculty tea, sold carnations, planted a tree for Arbor Day, tutored Laotian students in Pe- toskey and held two induction services.

The club officers were Brenda Bu- chanan, President; Chris Wilhelm, Vice-President; Mary Plagge, Sec- retary; and Karen Lynn Taylor, Treasurer. The tri p by train to Quebec City in April was very enjoyable for the students. The weather was warmer than it had been in previous years. Typical of France, there were sidewalk cafes open and flowers were in bloom in the parks. They visited the Citadel, Battlefields Park, and the heart of the old up- pertown called the Place D ' Armes. They also had a cultural evening and a gourmet meal. Most impor- tant of all, the students had the op- portunity to use the French lan- guage skills they have learned.

The act itself was constricted of many different skits all having a universal meaning showing the weaknesses of mankind. This included skits on dating, fantasies, and social behav- ior that showed everyone has a weakness. The students enjoyed the cut version of the play at the assembly performance and saw much of what has happened to them acted out in the play. Al- though much hard work and cre- ative talent went into the produc- tion of the play, the team was un- able to emerge from the districts. ftk 0 ' 1 ' f 9 4 mm m vr r 78 Activitics mmmwm • . .

It seemed as though we had just be- gun only yesterday, but the days passed by us faster than expected. For the two valedictorians, Sheri Cook and Joel Schnackenberg, who both received the highest grade point average of 4.00, it was an especially happy and rewarding experience. Laura Zaremba, the sa- lutatorian, also had a special gradu- ation day. They fully deserve the honors they received for the hard work they did. The speaker was James Bowman, a 1951 graduate of CHS. He also graduated from the University of Michigan, and today is the Assistant Athletic Director of the U.S. Air Force Academy. We now say good-bye to CHS, and move on to bigger things such as jobs, college, and planning our fu- ture. With our diploma in hand, we attempt our pursuit on the world. 88 Seniors Seniors 89 90 Seniors Seniors 91 Students Honored At Ceremony The Awards Ceremony, held on May 28, 1981, was a time to honor students who have performed well throughout the past year.
