We have spent a lot of time putting this year- book together in hopes of capturing some of those memories you will always want to keep. We sincerely hope that you enjoy this book and keep Crystal City High School in your hearts forever. DEDICATIO n She is not only charming and in- telligent, she is also a person whom we respect and look for when we need advice. With the dignity and reverence of a fine educator and the gentle com- passion of a mother, Mrs. Gruber has been one of the most respected teach- ers at Crystal City High School for gen- erations. We can not imagine this school without her, therefore we will continue to carry her in our hearts. ff POLITICS '87 Reagan Loses Appeal Reagan s second term will have drawn to an anguishing halt in 1987. This year's Iranian Arms Scandal left Americans feeling that they couldn t trust Reagan. His admittance of know- ing nothing of the millions of U.S. dollars aiding Iran made him appear incompetent to say the least, but additional crisis soon followed which temporarily took the public's mind off the scan- dal. The accidental attack on the U.S.S. Stark left more than 30 casualties. Iraq apologized for the mishap. The U.S. forgave. Americans Raise Fists Over Apartheid For many Americans it was hard to believe that blatent racial prejudice still exists in the world today. When we began hearing about the discrimina- tion against blacks by the white class in Africa, the public began protesting. The Coca Cola company among oth- er American businesses pulled their factories out of Africa. Students have also protested at demonstra- tions and U.S.A. for Africa also showed its views openly. SCIENCE SC SOCIETY Major Issues Create Cheers and Fears Probably the most talked about crisis of the century would have to be the epidemic of AIDS (Aquired Immune Deficiency Syn- drome). This year the U.S. Medical Associa- tion has declared AIDS to be the most fatal ep- idemic in world history on a wide-scale basis. Ho cure has been found for the deadly disease which has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of victims already! Another big issue among Americans these days is charity. Hever has the public been so fervant about aiding foreign countries as well as its own farmers, homeless and fi- nancially distraught! The Year of the Family Brings Forth Good Vibes 1987 has been sited as a particular year in which Americans honor the family institution. Hot only has television prompted such a posi- tive attitude, but music and customs in our soci- ety reflect people's de- sire to get back to'' the family. Conservatism is on the rise. More and more people are marry- ing each other at formal ceremonies and al- though there has not been a decrease in the divorce rate, the amount of people seeking di- vorce have levelled off. U.S.S.R. St U.S.A. 0 0 0 Can we Talk? Since Gorbachev has been apointed as Russian Premier, much has changed between Rus- sian and American attitudes. The doors of Russia have been opened wider toward American tourists, Gorbachev has made moves to- ward peace talks with Reagan and the Premier is even allowing Rus- sian rock to enter the U.S. for the first time ever. Europeans believe that Russians want peace even more so than Americans. The fu- ture looks hopeful! Voyager Envisions Unearthly Trip Dick Rutan and Jcana Yeager made avia- tion history in the experimental airplane Voy- ager in December when they completed the first non stop flight around the world on one load of fuel. The 25.012 mile journey set rec- ords for distance Ooun without refuelling and for a nation endurance. The trip (9 days) began and ended in California. OUR WORLD IM '8 7 Top Hicks of '86 Offer nice Variety This year's movie roster of- fered a wide variety of moods for the public. Patriotic favorites this year were Top Gun which did best at the box office and Platoon which took away most of the Academy A wards. Top com- edies were Beverly flills Cop II with Eddie Murphy and Crocodile Dun- dee. nightmares on Elm Street III and Creep Show were scarey Top Gun: Tom Cruise Sr Kelley McGillis network Tops 1.

Installs Hew Image The rise of family shows this year demonstrates the public's desire to see real life situations they can laugh about. The everpopular Cosby Show and Family Ties have been at the top of viewers' lists for more than two years. Television shows this year offer some- thing from every social class — from Dy- nasty to Cheers therefore viewers do not feel the usual rut . Styles Entertainment Top Talents of '86 Some of the popular rock and rapp rapping groups of 1986-87 were Bon Jovi, RUM DMC, the Beastie Boys and Peter Gabriel. Steve Winwood, Billy Joel and Bruce Hornsby were also big sellers this year.

'87 is Women's Year in Music Janet Jackson has led a parade of female vocalists this year in her record sales Just as Whitney Houston had done in 1985. This year women singers such as Anita Baker. Lisa Lisa. Ann and Mancy Wilson of Heart and Madonna have been leaders in record sales for 1987.

They almost won the homecoming float first prize but fell to a close second due to a point deduction. More fresh- men turned out at the bonfire than ever before, and at the masquerade party they took first place in the human Knot Contest. Freshmen made a gallant attempt to take first place in the Christmas hall Decorating Contest as well. Freshmen were many at the school dances giv- ing further evidence of their class spirit, yet like all freshmen before them, they did have their share of faults and mishaps. 4s newcomers, they were suddenly thrusted into the halls fending their way to classes, translating Mr. Smith s scientific lingo and the battlefield of Al- gebra I. 4s the rest of us watched the freshmen make their way through Crystal high Basic training, we tended to reminisce about the days when we were the ' new guys in school. We re- call the good times and the bad times of Fresh- man Days; being used as an arm rest by a se- nior, having to face the long lunch lines at the school's snack bar and resembling a billiard ball being knocked around the hallways be- tween classes. To the freshman class, we only have one comment to add to this senerio, good luck all of you and may you be warned ... you've still got three more years to go!

Getting lost, falling down the stairs and walking into a class of seniors are only a few of the common mishaps, and who could forget the em- barrassment of simply being a freshman?! We asked around and came up with some not-so-common embarrassing mom- ents which happened in the first two years of high school. ' 'My most embarrassing monent was ... ... when my shorts fell down in gym class. - Franke Elliott, sophomore. .. .when I fell down the auditorium stairs in front of the entire Senior Band my sophomore year. - Daneen Goodwin, junior. ... when John and I got caught looking at dirty magazines in Big Bear Liquors by a teacher. - Rob Proffer, senior. ... when I mispelled HORNETS in front of a huge crowd at a basketball game. - Dana Vernon, sophomore.

They won the 1986 Homecoming Boat com- petition and Hall Decorating Contest. They even took first place in the Christmas Hall Decorating Contest as well. Besides spending their time being model students the junior class does take part in the usual school routine of heavy course work. In Al-Joe- bra II they spend most of their time snoozing, talking, and lis- tening to David Rogers per- form his one man band. At oth- er times they were getting the lat- est scoop on the styles and fash- ions from Mr. Bowden, The highlights of Chemistry classes were the rare occurrences of Schilly and Schaumburg paying attention. Juniors produced a collection of art on 3X5 cards and masterpiece journal entries for Art and English classes. What the junior class will re- member vividly are the nap vic- tims of Mr. Sutton's classes. That thunderous sound of him banging on our desk bottoms will ring in our ears forever!

BATiD RATES ITUMBER OME On April 14 contests were held at Jefferson College and the Senior Band received a perfect rating of one, from all three judges. Raul Rose received a one for his piano solo. Receiving two's for their solo's were Jerry Burhans on Trumpet, David Kopp on tenor sax, and Stephine Clark on flute. Also receiving a two was the clarinet trio of Mia Shoemaker, Dina Wansley, and Chris Boettger. For her flute solo Cindy Zoellner received a three. Selected for District Band Each fiovember, Crystal High School musicians prac- tice for long hours preparing themselves for the day they will be handed a fresh sheet of music to be performed be- fore judges. This test of tal- ent is more than a critique of musical ability. It is each mu- sician's chance to demon- strate his or her mastery of grace under pressure. Three examples of such talent are David Kremling, Paul Rose and Andrea Raines who re- ceived top rankings when they made All District Band this year; David on drums, Paul on piano and Andrea on clarinet.

Students Sing a Note of Fraise It was only a Lew years ago that both Crystal City High School choirs had not been music to everyone's ears. There was little pride in being a choir member. Since the arrival of Mr. Cotter, that has changed drastically. In only two years he has turned the choir around so much that they are believed to be the best sound in Jefferson County. Students per- ceive choir as a big honor. They claim that Mr. Cotter is stern and demanding, which makes them want to be top notch. Their behavior in public owes itself to Mr. Cotter s high expectations. He s taught us a lot. We really respect him, they gloat. C-CLUB ROW 1: S. Reed, D. Lucas, S. Higdon, K. Becherer, J. Elliot, J.

Student Council s toughest task hits them early in September when prepara- tions for an entire week of Homecoming events must be arranged. Homecoming 1987 was a success. Student Council s spirit week, bonfire and dance lifted school spirit fueling student morale for events to come. Next, Student Council helped media classes sponsor a dance each month. In February, they arranged a cupid's flower service. Each year the Council raises money in order to purchase a use- ful item for the school. This year their hard work brought Crystal High a band banner. Fresident, Missey Crain; Treasurer, Drew Cole; Secretary, Lisa White HEWS TEAM FRONT: K. Curran, D. Cole, A. Strange, J. Ulmer, D.

HIGH SOCIETY AT During the 1986 - 1987 school year Crystal City High held more than half of a dozen dances at the school. The Fresh- man Mixer started the year off with the Masquerade Mania Dance and the Homecoming 1986 dances following close be- hind. Before students could even catch their second wind, the Christmas Formal whirried them into the holiday spirit. In January students had a change of pace with the Beach n for a Buck dance where they shuffled through snow in their jams and tank tops. Finally, the two final big events of the year found stu- dents donned in forma! attire at From where the ' Gone With the Wind theme presented a gal- lant evening! Our thanks go to the band Snapshot and the D.J.s Rob Proffer and Jerry Burhans for providing our dances with great tunes! (Below) Kevin, Susan, Kevin and Marc. Dana Vernon turns sweet sixteen!

Bonfire Sets Spirit Ablaze The 1986 Homecoming bonfire proved to be one of the most successful ones Crystal has seen in ten years. With a turnout of over half of the entire school population, it was quite obvious how wildly spirited ev- eryone was. People rocked and sang along to the Beatles' Twist and Shout until their throats ached — and this was only the beginning. Although every class was represented at the bonfire in large numbers, the seniors still managed to out shout them all. The bonfire itself roared wildly, seeming to fuel everyone's spirit even more. At one point the flames grew so high the fire de- partment had to wet it down in order to gain control. What a night! You never seem to catch a cold at the right time.

The Mew Guys! Some people believe that Ju- nior Varsity teams have little to of- fer to fans as far as excitement goes. While it is true that a newly formed football team may have some rough edges in their plays, the 1986 J.V. football team man- aged to raise the eyebrows of fans with their aggressive flare. Coaches admitted that this year s hard-hitting Hornets demon- strated great spirit. Fans really missed out on some good action!

The 1986-87boys' varsity bas- ketball season didn't turn out to be as successful as hoped, but the Hornets did win more games than they have in the last two sesaons. Their record was 10-14 and con- sisted of some very impressive vic- tories along with some disappoint- ing losses. The Hornets defeated the Festus Tigers for the first time in the Festus Tournament. The most disappointing loss was to Herky, who they played for the championship game of that same tourney. The game was consis- tently close but Herky edged a 46- 45 win. The Hornets placed David Kremling on first team All-Confer- ence. He averaged 18 pts. per game, and led the conference in rebounding with 11 per game. Doug Schilly and David Rogers also led the team in scoring with 11 and 10pt. averages, respective- ly. Overall, the Hornets had a good season.

After months of multi-purpose drilling. Coach Rugraff had her team in prime shape, ready to face even the toughest opponent. The girls swept through their division mak- ing the road to districts a smooth- er one. Lisa White lead the team as one of the fastest, most aggres- sive guards in Jefferson county. Angie Lalumondier’s leggy speed also helped out with fast breaks and Missey Crain s ability to be in the right place at the right time helped h rebounding. Sherry Wil- son and Amy Cook accompanied Leslie Russel in steals. Much of the fancy dribbling technique had been left up to Karen Meyer with Michelle Murphy, Kathy McKiin and Laura Kemp being the power- ful passers on the team. This Le- thal combination led the Hornets to 1st place at the district competi- tion! Coach Hu! We Love You!

Hornet basketball team had a fantastic season of 12 wins and only 7 losses when they charged into the season. Starting line up for the Hornets were Dawn Goodwin, Shannon Reed, Amy Cook, Dana Vernon and Shammy Johnson. The strength these sophomores possess should be a forewarning to other teams of what is to come in the next few years. They pounded Festus merciless, then went on to clean away all the trophies at the Pius Tournament. What a season!

Strong points this year were Jackie Bridges on sec ond base and Craig Lowry at short stop. Pitch ers David Kremling and Craig Schaumburg threw some good games this year avoiding the usual major injuries which can accompa ny pitchers.

HORNET SPECTACULAR CRYSTAL'S CREM de la CREM What does it take to be the crem de la crem of the class? To become an honorary Stu- dent of the Month at Crystal, one must demon- strate not only brains but school involvement and a positive attitude as well. Pictured from left to right are Chris Fleig (March), Susan Bhat (February), Michelle Mur- phey (Tiovember), Marc Williams (December), Barry Vandiver (April), Missey Crain (Septem- ber), David Kopp (January), Lisa Loafman (May) and not pictured; Kathy Harmon (October). Students of the Months represent the upper 10% of their class, hold a leadership position within the school community and are selected on the basis of character and maturity. A View from the Top Marc Williams never planned on being the class valedicto- rian. His success in school stemmed from his ability to pay close attention in class. ' 7 do not ha ve to study much outside of class because I use my class time well, claimed Marc. Marc was not voted Most Likely to Succeed merely be- cause he mantains the highest grades in his graduating class. His fellow classmates see him as having the potential to ac- complish any task placed before him. Marc is a very talented musician, with his own band Snapshot” (who played at Crys- tal dances) as proof. Besides running his own music business in addition to his schooling, Marc was also one of the only two members of the Cross Country team to go to State. Who inspires Marc most? People who appreciate me for who I am, says Marc. His parents have encouraged him the most in this way. He pians to pursue an Electrical Engineering degree at Mizzou and keep making music too.

Mr. Wegman and Mrs. Grub- er fly about the soon-to-be grad- uates, arranging formalities. Photographers scurry about like flies stealing snapshots from un- suspecting friends. Its time.

Over seventy robed wonders gathered at the Arvill Popp gymnasi- um where they were to receive that ever-so-important certificate bearing proof that each student in his her own right is a success.

Feople Behind the Scenes Over the summer months, most of us were basking in the sun while the staff at CCHS has been diligently at work figuring out our grades; typing up our enrollment forms and arranging next year's class schedules. Helping keep over 200 faculty and students in order seems short of a mir- acle in itself! Fora change, let us not over look all of the wonderful characteristics which are found in the staff at CCHS. Let 's show them how much it means to us to see their smiles; received their warm welcomes and keep our lives in order. It's a shame we are more prone to criticize our fellow man than compliment him! Mrs. Axley Secretary JUNIOR HIGH The Man in the Glass When you get what you want in your struggle for self. And the world makes you king for a day. Just go to the mirror and look at yourself And see what that man has to say. For it isn 't your father, mother or wife. Whose judgement upon you must pass. The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life. Is the one staring back from the glass. Some people might think you're a straight shootn chum. And call you a wonderful guy. But the man in the glass says you re only a bum, If you cant look him straight in the eye. You may fool the world down the pathway of years. And get pats on the back when you pass. But your final reward will be heartache and tears. If you've cheated the man in the glass. Knowledge is not measured by what we know, but by our realization of all that we have to learn. — Socrates CLASS OF 1987 J. Ii.FA CUL TY ADM I HIS TRA TION Mr. Kirkland, Principal Margaret Peterein, Secretary Christina Reifsteck, liurse Patricia Roe, Librarian Mark hotter. Chorus Hugh MacKenzie, Art AI Sherman, Band Patricia Thompson, English in PRAISE OP TEACHERS Wc take for granted the things we arc taught, and those who fill our heads with thought. Instead of giving them thanks and praise Tor teaching us throughout our childhood days: We tend to cause them strain and strife. By inflicting our problems upon their lives. It 's at the end of our thirteen years. That we meet face-to-face with life's many fears. It is then that we open our eyes and sec. Why they kept after us constantly. Why they insisted we get where we were head- ed. Why they gave us the tasks that we dreaded. Why they sometimes treated us rough. Why our best for them never seemed enough. We ll know then, why they did all these things. They were preparing us for life’s cold offerings. So. when we falter at life 's rough hand, and feel that wc may never again stand. We’ll depend upon the knowledge that we now know. To pick us up when we 've sunken low. At times like these we will realize. Their true emphasis upon our lives. And we'll team a new thing we'll never deny. Thanks to our teachers, we will always get by!

Take note of the following tips from last year's ' newcomers. 1) DOfl’T sit in the halls between classes. A senior may confuse you for a foot scraper. 2) DO memorize your schedule before your first day.
